There is a fair supply of Wheat fresh up to this day's Market, but, having a thin attendance of buyers, the sale of English Wheat of all descriptions, has been dull at the rates of last Friday; there is less Foreign offering to-day, and the best samples have in some instances, realised an advanc e of 6d. to 4s. per quarter. Good fresh Oats are very scarce, and fully as dear. There has been very little demand for Barley, the malting• season being over. Beans are very dull, and scarcely maintain the rates of last week.

SONTAG, when she leaves Berlin, intends visit ing Warsaw, St. Petersburgh, and Moscow. She returns by Hamburg, where she will perform,. and then pay one visit to this country, which it is said will be her last. The relatives of her husband? Count Rossi, as well as himself, have, according to report, refused to acknowledge the le gality of the marriage on account of her not being able to boast a descent from nobility. This is the very perfection of absurdity—fully raised to the tenth power ! A Sicilian Count—a title which may be had fur a few hundred crowns—who never would have been heard of beyond the coast of Calabria but for his union with a beautiful girl of the highest talent; a man who, but for this match, so fortu nate fur him, must have lived and died in poverty and ob scurity—hesitates to ratify a marriage which gives him at once youth, beauty, independence, and a naule.—Har monicon. The Court Journal says, with respect to the Duke of ORLEANS' entertainment—" A party of ruffians had made their way into the . garden for the preconcerted purpose of exciting a commotion, but with what ulterior object it is difficult to say. Attention was first called to this part of the scene übout eleven o'clock. At this period the buzz which proceeded from the populace in the ear dens was occasionally interrupted by shouts and shrieks. These unpleasant sounds were followed by a sight not less disagreeable. Articles of female dress were thrown across the crowd in all directions ; a regular riot ensued, and the piles of chairs which had been placed in the garden fur hire were soon converted into dangerous instruments of offence. Wherever a space could be found sufficiently free from the crowd, one of these chairs might be seen hurled into the air, and producing in its descent many a broken head. This amusement was attended with the extinction of those festoons of lamps which connected the trees of the garden by means of so many wreaths and garlands of co loured and variegated light. It was this, perhaps, which created the idea of a bonfire in the middle of the garden, for which fuel was readily found in these heaps of devoted chairs, the proprietors of which had, it seemed, offended the multitude by raising the ordinary price of two sous a piece up to five-and-twenty. Great masses of marble, which form the pedestal of one of the finest bronze statues in the centre of the garden have absolutely been consumed by the intensity of the conflagration, and it is feared that this unhappy disturbance will produce a sad list of casualties." With reference to the above a correspondent observes—" I see in the Papers to-day an account of the disturbance that arose at the Duke of Orleans' fete. I have seen a gentleman that was there; he gave a very different account of it, and assured raeilie Royal Family were well received. Some pickpockets were coin. mitting depredations in the Valais Royal, and were very pro poly taken ►nto custody." On Tuesday week, JOHN MORRIS, Esq. of Panyratho, Cartnarthenshire, and his labourers, caught at one haul, 1868 skates, in the river Towy, near CochY barlis. ,-, /- THE KING'S HEALTH, (From the Court Circular.)

A deputation of the West India planters and merchants, headed by the Marquis of CHANnos, as Chairman of the Committee, had by appointment a very long conference with Mr. BERRIES, on Saturday, at the Office of the Board of Trade. The deputation included the Earl of HAREWOOD, Lord HOLLAND, Lord SEAFORD, and several Agents for the Colonies. The Austrian Ambassador and the Spanish Minister had interviews on Saturday, with the Earl of ABEaDazx at die Foreign Offieo. DUKE OF CLARENCE AND HIS FAMILY. His Royal Highness was united to the Princess ADE LAIDE LOUISA THERESA CAROLINE AMELIA, eldest daughter of the late and sister of the reigning Duke of SA XE MEININGEN, 11th July, 1818, when the Duke was in his 53d year, and the Princess in her 26th. The issue of this marriage was the Princess CHARLOTTE AUGUSTA, born and (lied 27th March, 1819, and the Princess ELIZA BETH GEORCIANA ADELANDO, born 10th December, 1820, died 4th of March in the following year. The Earl of ERROL, the Hon. JOHN ERSKINE KENNEDY (second son of Earl Cassius), Mr. PHILIP SYDNEY (the Member for Eye, and only son of Sir JAMES SYDNEY, Batt.), and Lieut.-Colonel CHARLES Fox, of the 34th Regiment of Foot, stand in the relation -of sons-in-law to the illustrious Duke, having married the Misses ELIzA BETH, AUGUSTA, SOPHIA, and MARY FITZCLARENCE, his Royal Highness's daughters. Colonel FITZCLARENCE, of the 7th Fusileers, married, in 1821, Lady AucusTA BOYLE, daughter of the Earl of GLAsoow, and Colonel GEORGE FITZCLARENCE, is son-iu-law to the Earl of EGREMONT. Captain ADOLPHUS FITZCLARENCE, ItaN. anti the Rev. AUGUSTUS FITZCLARENCE, Rector of Maple Durham, are unmarried. The following form of Prayer for the recovery of our Most Gracious SomaIGN was read in all the English and German Jewa' synagogues throughout the United Kingdom on Saturday. (A copy of a form of prayer, said to be used on the above occasion, has ap peared in some of the Sunday papers, which is incorrect from the beginning to the end) :—" 0 King of kings, whose eyes are ever regarding the ways of mankind, through thee do princes rule and guide thy flock of ru sions : thou dost lead their hearts according to their de sire, and with thee alone ate their easualtits and destina tions. Incline thine ear, we beseech thee, to the voice and cry of thy people of Israel, who in this small temple, as before the seat of thy glory, supp , icate and pray for our Lord the KING, whose sufferings are our affliction. 0 ! thou who with th y grace has hitherto supported his throne, support bim now, we pray thee, on the bed of sickness Send him aid from thy holy residence; strengthen his spirit, and let thy comfort delight his soul. 0 ! waftover him the light of thy countenance, and we shall be saved. Strengthen the weak hand, fortify the' feeble kn..e, and restore him to complete health. Prolong the KING'S life; extend his years, and let thy mercy and truth guard him even until hoary age, that the government rest upon his shoulders, and the crown flourish upon him for ever more." The above prayer was composed by the Rev. Soiouow HERSCHELL, Chief Rabbi. Mr. WILMOT HORTON, the brother-in-law of the Earl of KEICMARE, will not offer himself as a can didate for the representation of Kerry at the next election. One of the brothers of the Earl of KENMARE Will offer himself as a candidate on that occasion.-- Tralee Mercury. BANKERS' " CLEARING-HOUSE." (From the Morning Herald.) In commenting upon Sir Robert Peel's speech on the motion of Sir James Mackintosh for abolishing the penalty of death for forgery, we accused the Right Hon. &ere tary of ignorance or deception in alluding to the immen , c quantity of business transacted by the London bankers at the clearing house, and arguing upon it as if the drafts negotiated there were cashed Over the counter, and were liable to forgery. We denied the facts, with the exception of the amount of business transacted, and we now give the details : The operations of " the clearing-house" will be best illustrated by an example. Suppose a London merchant or a stock-broker in the course of the day to take in payment drafts drawn upon several London bankers, and knowing, (as he must know,) from whom they all come, and not doubting (for, if doubt arise, he either refuses the draft, or else sends it to be cashed)—not doubting there are funds to meet these drafts respectively, lie does not present one of them to be cashed, but, in common with all houses of any magnitude, " crosses" the face of each draft with the name of his own banker, to whom he then hands them. The immediate effect of this simple expedient of " crossing" is, for ever, to pre vent the draft in question from being cashed at the bankers' counters ; they can now be negotiated nowhere but at the clearing-house (whither they are sent in the afternoon), by no one but by bankers known to each other, and by no means but by records, which preserve an ac count of every draft. All this is accomplished in so per fect a manner, that, if any one of the drafts should happen to be dishonoured, it would forthwith be returned to the party who had first " crossed" and handed it to his own banker. Such detail is A, B, C, to men of business ; but we write now for the information of another class, and will anon endeavour to explain the process of the clearing house, where, as truly enough stated by Sir Robert Peel, drafts to the amount of two or three millions per day are negotiated ; but then he omitted to add (and, indeed, it would haVe neutralized his argument) that this negotiation takes place by means which, as we shall presently see, do absolutely secure the London bankers from the very possi bility of loss by the forgery of drafts. The reason is simply this :—A London banker does not cash the " crossed" drafts handed in by his customer (the mer chant or the stock-broker cited above), but merely posts the amount to the credit of that customer; and if after ward any such draft should turn out to be a, forgery, or drawn without funds, it would be charged, by the same banker, to the debit of that customer. The banker's customer, therefore, and not the banker, is the man who has to secure himself apinst the risk of forgery, as it re gards drafts which have to pass the clearing-house; and this he does, as we have already shown, by almost instinc tive prudence before " crossing" the draft. But, to return to the clearing-house. It is situated in Lombard-street, and is an office at which each large banking firm has an agent or principal clei k, who is, vir tually, its receiver-general and paymaster-general, as it regards all the drafts passing through the clearing-house. But, in the discharge of these important functions, be— unlike the cashier—neither receives, nor pays in, money : neither does he pay any thing " to bearer," or, in other language, to unknown persons. His operations at this office are confined to the simple registration (in his " clearing-sheet" and books) of all the drafts, whether for or again- t the banking firm which he acts ; and, having completed this, he settles the day's transactions in less than half an hour, by paying or receiving the dif ference. Now, after all, perhaps the question may be asked— Suppose a forged draft to get into the clearing-house, how is it to be detected? Really, you might as well talk of catching birds by putting salt upon their tails, as of in juring the London bankers in this quarter. Let the an swer be given, as nearly as we recollect, in the words of a gentleman many years connected with the clearing-house: he replied, " A man must be an idiot to attempt a forgery there. In the course of my experience, I cannot recol lect a single instance of a forged draft." The reason of it is plain, as alreadishown, and we will not longer detain our readers by dwelling on advantages so well understood in practice. - The clearinghouse, as it regards drafts, is a place of safety for the London bankers. Well would it be for their country connections had they the same security ! There is not a practical banker in London who cannot at test the truth of these statements: Why, then, we ask, has not the Home-Secretary been made acquainted with them ? Is it not deplorable that he should be left in such ignorance of facts closely connected with the subject on which he was attempting to legislate? Who has been his informant? Is such ignorance pardonable in a Minister of the Crown ? SPURIOUS SILVER COINAGE. (From the Times.) What was stated by Mr. Herries, in the House of Commons on Friday night, confirms in its material points the account given in this paper of an investigation at the' Mint relative to a surreptitious coinage of silver. The inquiry, it is admitted, has been carrying on for a considerable time past, on information of the existence of such spurious coin, and it is also admitted that there was a considerable excess of silver in circulation. The im pression of Mr. Herries appears to be, after an examina- tion at the Mint of some of the coin believed to be spu rious, that the information was untrue, and that the whole was founded on a mistaken notion ; but the reasons as signed by him for that opinion have not by any means produced in the city the conviction that he is right. The original story rests on the supposition that standard silver, of precisely the same quality as that used at the Mint, was employed in the fabrica tion of such spurious coin, and the inability, therefore, of the Mint Officers to detect any difference in it proves nothing at all to the purpose. Such an ex cess as that described in the silver circulation, is a far more convincing argument on , the other side of the question ; and it is a fact which no one doubts who has access to what is going on at the Bank of England, that great inconvenience was felt there from the surplus of silver brought in, and that the Directors pressed the mat ter on the attention of Government, urging as their motive that such excess must have had its origin from some other source than that of the Mint. It is affirmed, indeed, that the accumulation at cne time had become so great se to leave no other mode of obviating the inconvenience but by melting the coin back into bars, and that this was ac tually done to a great extent; but this information is not perhaps so much to be depended on as that relative to the other points of this very curious inquiry. As a choice of difficulties, it might perhaps have been resorted to. The raising of the question has undoubtedly effected this good, —that it has drawn public attention to the false and dan gerous position in which the country is placed with respect to the silver coinage, and it is the hope, we believe, of all intelligent and practical merchants, that it may lead to some useful reform with respect to the currency. The Lady HENRIETTA ANTONIA HER BERT, the Countess of Pow's, died yesterday morning, about seven o'clock, at Walcot Park, the seat of the Earl of Powis, Lord Lieutenant of this county, after a long illness.. Her Ladyship was the daughter and heiress of HENRY ARTHUR, Earl of Pow's, whose title became ex tinct at his decease in 1801. Het Ladyship was married in 1784.—Shrewsbury Chronicle of Wednesday. MUSICAL NOVELTY.-MICHAEL BOA 1.- We were invited to witness on Friday last, at the Egyp tian-hall, Piccadilly, a private display of the performance of a musical wonder, MicuAEr. Boar, who recently ar rived in London from the Continent, after haying appeared before many Sovereigns, &c, &c. This performer is a native of Mayence, and he has, by dint of labour and dexterity, attained a degree of perfection in an art scarcely worthy of his pains --that of producing, by the mechani cal movement of his mouth and hands, something in the nature of what is familiarly called chin-chopping, a sound very similar to that of castanets, but partaking rather more of •tone. The volume of the sound is not very remarkable, but the execution upon it is wonderful, and the musical skill displayed is considerable. M. Boar came forward attended by a lady (his wife) with a guitar, and a gentleman with a violin aBOAT himself also carried a guitar. The performance commenced with a pretty air on the three instruments , at th e en d o f which, A M. Boar having laid aside his guitar, and wetted his mouth and fi ngers , accompanied the two other instruments on his mouth-hand-organ (as we must call it, till we are fa voured with the Professor's own. word for it) In the man ner already described -,producing a forte and piano— executing the most rapid and difficult passages of some foreign airs with singular facility and precision ; running up and down his scale, and marking even half notes with distinctness. The effect was novel and surprising ; but thea and hands, peculiar movements of the perform er ' s b ea d, t ounte nee, threw an a i r of th e l u di crous over t h e ex hibition, which rendered it amus i ng as we ll as cur i ous . When this piece was finished, th e l a d y sang agreea bly t o n the guitars and violin, while her husband recovered his breath for another display ; and in this order the perform ance continued till its close. The audience, comprising some distinguished professional musicians, applauded cor dially. The public exhibition commences this day. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

ANOTHER MAD DOG.—Saturday morning a young woman, named MARY BAXTER, tervant to Mr. CASTENDICK, a foreign merchant, residing at No. 2, Ein mett.street, in the Minories, was brought to Guy's Hos pital, suffering under great pain from having been bitten by her maser's dog, which was in a rabid state. The bite was just above the right elbow, in the fleshy part of the arm. The eirl stated; that pp to Wednesday last the animal seemed to be perfectly quiet and harmless; but, in the evening of that day, be appeared to, be very wild, and snapped at every thing that came in his way. The foot man began to play with him, whrn the animal flew at him most ferociou.ly, and tore the skirts of his coat. The next day the girl was cleaning the drawingjaom, when the dog came into the room, flew at her, and fastened his teeth in her right arm. She seized the poker, and de fended herself as well as she was able ; but the dog laid lipid of the poker with his teeth, and nearly caught her by the leg, but the footman coming to her a s sistance, he was prevented, and eventually driven down stairs aid secured. Violent throbbing pains subsequently came on in her arm, which extended up to her shoulder, and, find ing them to increase to an alarming degree, Dr. JOHN SON, who attended the family, advised her removal to the hospital, where her ease would meet with the necessary treatment. Mr. CASTENDICK, on hearing the circum stance, ordered the animal to be itntutallattly slain, which was done forthwith, • COAPNgR'S INQUEST ON M‘KAy.,—A respectable Jury was assembled at the \Va't's Arms, Hans lope, under the summons of the Coroner for the county of Bucks, to inquire into the circumstances of this melan• eitoly case, and after being sworn, they proceeded to view the body of the unfortunate man, which was placed on a bed in the same room from whence he had escaped to meet his unhappy fate. Only three witnet4es, we understand, were examined —two females who lived in the house, and Mr. IIprgATE, the surgeon, by whom be was attended— the latter of whom described death to have been occa sioned by an effusion of blood upon the brain, which might have been produced by blows or falls. There was no evi dence adduced of the persons present at the fight, and in the absence of witnews to prelve the identity of persons present, the Jury returned a verdict of " Manslaughter" against Stmorr BYRN): in particular, and generally against all persons aiding, ab e tti ng, and encouraging the contest, leaving it, of course, t o t h ose who in.) , hereafter think proper to prosecute, t o se l ect such peTsons as, upon oath, may be proved to have taken part in i the aTlay. The Co roner afterwards issued his war r ant for the interment of the deceased, who was buried on Saturday in Hanslppe churchyard, in a most respectable manner, in the presence of a large assemblage of the inhabitants of the village, who I seemed deeply to sym 4 i/t . thi7 s e iu hit fate, LADY WILLIAM LENNOX. Mary Anne Paton was born in October,'• 1802. Her *taller was a teacher of writing and mathematics in Edin burgh, and his classes were so numerously attended, that for a considerable time he was in the receipt of about 2,000/. per annum.' Unfortunately for himself and his family, he entertained peculiar notions regarding the Christian dispensation, and was not content with the en joyment of that liberty which the Chief Criminal Judos if this country on the occasion of a late trial stated to be , :he right of every British subject--thinking a. he pleased, provided he kept his thoughts to himself. Mr. Paton, the contrary, did not confine his opinions on this most mportant subject to his own bosom. Orthodoxy took the alarm, and he gradually lost that professional connection which his talents and manners had acquired. Mary Anne it a very early age evinced a love for music that gave sromise of future eminence. Her natural taste was fostered and cultivated by her mother, who was herself an excel lent singer ; and with so much success that while yet a mere child, her extraordinary proficiency reached the ear :if the Duchess of Buccleuch, who offered her patronage for a public concert, and her infant syren appeared before an Edinburgh audience as a singer, an elocutionist, and a half player, before she was eight years of age. A highly uccessful debut decided the course of her future pursuits. The study of music became the great object of her being, engrossing, even at that infantile age, all her thoughts ind occupying all her time. Her devotion enabled her to triumph over all technical difficulties with very little assistance from masters. Some time after her appearance ;n Edinburgh, Mr. Paton removed with his (moil) , to London, where he opened an academy, and Mary Anne continued her studies under her father's roof, with no other !assistance from professors than an occasional hint frost Crenelli. She wished to place herself under the titieon of Mr. Bishop, but he declined receiving her as a pupil, and she met with a similar repulse from some other erni, 'sent professors, who gave her no reason to expect success. For three years did she offer her gratuitous services at al most every theatre in town, without finding a intinap,er who would run the risk of allowing her an appearance• At last, hotvever, Morris consented, and she appear, d at the Haymarket on the 3d of August, 1821, as Susannah, in the Marriage of Figaro, and a few nights after as Rosina in the Barber of Seville. She was most favour ably received, and gave earnest of those transcendent powers which have since acquired for her the high d;s_ tinction of being the first British vocalist of the age. She. I was immediately engaged at Covent-garden Theatre, wheres , i she appeared, on the 19th of October following, as Polly, in the Beggar's Opera. Her subsequent career is suf. ticiently known to the public. Lord William Lennox was one of those sdrigs of fashion who had the privilege of the entree at the theatre. Miss Paton was, of course, the object of universal admiration, and of his Lordship's most assidious attentions ; but as his intentions did not ut rust app. ar in the character they afterwards assumed, they were indignantly repulsed, and on more than one occasion . his Lordship was threatened with chastisement from her friends. In 1824, however, a marriage between the parties took place, but under circumstances so nlystelionso as for a time to deprive the lady of the society of ler ow it family, although the public acknowledgment (if the tor> riage has since removed their objections. Lady, Lem lux has two sisters, Isabella and Eliza. The former is alreadv - known to the play-going portion of the public as a singer of considerable musical talent. The youngest resides with, her parents at Edinburgh, and, though a proficiens music, has a great aversion to the stage, and yasikaiwa, merely as a concert-singer and teacher. ROYAL MILITARY COLLEGE, AT SANDHURST. The Haleyearly Public Examinations of the Wyal Mili tary College, at Sandhurst, commenced on Thuts.lay before a Board of Commissioners, at which there were pre sent Generals Sir Herbert Taylor, the Adjutant -Cenci-al of the Forces, the Hon. Sir Alexander Hope, Lient,o,:nt- Governor of Chelsea Hospital, Lord Edward Suniuniet, Lieutenant-General of the Ordnance, the Hon. Sir ward Paget, the Governor, and Colonel Sir George Scovell, the Lieutenant-Governor of the Establibli wen t. On Thursday a class of 17 Gentlemen Cadets werr rigidly examined in various branches of the matheinati.. e Euclid's geometry, mensuration of surfaces, solids, i tt ..i g htg, and distances, in connection with military purposes, plant and spherical trigonometry, and conic sections, The Com missioners next inspected the military surveys and sketrle-s of 20 Cadets who bad, during the half-year, their qualifications in the field in that most essential blanch of practicA instruction. A variety of landscape aketci,es s taken by the Cadets from nature, during the last two months, were also laid on the table. The examioation o f two more, of seven and eight young gontlenien, in the French and German languagea, concluded the businrss of the day. On Friday a class of 14 Cadets were examined In per.. manent and field fortification, and the attack I4nd defenvo of places; after which the Commissioners proceeded to view the entrenchments and saps which bad been throwl i up during the half year, for the instruction of the Officer s studying at the Senior Department, and the Cadets, in actual field operations. The Gentlemen Cadets examined then proceeded to trace on the ground a field fort of thy form selected by the ,Commiusinners. The work c h osen was defined by the young gentlemen, without as.iatanee, by line and pickets, and working profiles set up at the angles, in less than au hour, While the Commissioners visited the Riding-house, and saw 20 of the Gentlemen Cadets, most advanced in that branch of instruction, put through all the exercises of the school. Lastly, two classes of Cadets were examined in Ancient and Modern History, and in Latin. By the result of the examination it finally appeared that upwards of 60 Gentlemen Cadets had made various steps of qualification for commissie...c.„ and that the 12 following, who were accordingly rocont.. mended to the General Commanding.in-Chi e f fuy Ensign.. cies, had completed their course of study Charles P. Hamilton Farquhar 1 t eampb e n Henry Farrant Williaw W. Nixon • Robert Aldridge George P. Malcolm John T. W. Jones Arnold E. Burmestet7 William G. C, Mb - ;ins Francis A. Cook Robert Moorsmn John Lee The first five of these young 'gentlemen having made progress in their studies superior to that of the other., were also presented with certificates, declaring the special approbation of the Commissioners ; together with Set.:ond Lieutenant Petley, of the Rifle Brigade, who, having al ready received a commission, had distinguished himself by his further proficiency in fortification And military sur veying. On Saturday the commissioners held an examination of the Officers stedying at the Senior Department, when Lieutenant Donald Stuart, of the 46th Regiment, displayed his attainments in a highly creditable manner, and rece',, a certificate of the first clam The subjects of examination, in mathematics and fortification, did not differ from those above mentioned, except that the higher range of mathe matical study provided far the senior students emluaces a most useful course of practical astronomy, for which every facility is afforded by the College Observatory. Nu merous military drawings and 'sketches in the field, the work of the etudeuta in the Senior Department, during the half year, vvere inspected by the Commissioners; and large plan, from actual survey, of part of Bedfordshiie, containing nearly 50 inieare miles, and showing a strong chain of position between Luton and Silsoe, was deservedly admired.
