CONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The transactions reported in the general discount market indicate an active inquiry, and as it is in ferred that the introduction of new foreign schemes will have the effect of thawing money out of the Country, and that the quotations are likely to tend I lpwarda, 4 per cent, is now required in Lombard street and elsewhere for the negotiation of three Months' paper. The rumours recently circulated about an over issue of Turkish Consolide are false, the Ottoman Government having published a list of the whole amount, together with the numbers. In the Foreign Exchanges, yesterday afternoon, there was no alteration of importance. The ratification having been received, the Confe derate 7 per Cent. Cotton Loan of £3,000,000 will be brought out to morrow by Messrs. Er.anger at Paris and Frankfort, J. H. Schroder and Co. in London and Amsterdam, and Fraser, Trenholrn, and Co. at Liverpool. The cotton hypothecated as secu rity is to be delivered to the holder of each bond, at his option, at the rate of 514. per pound free of ex pense, at the Southern shipping ports either imme diately or within six months after the ratification of peace. The price at which the bonds are to be issued is 90 with dividends in sterling and sinking fund for redemption at par in 20 years. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. French Rentes were 6 8f. 75c., heavy. There has been very little alteration to-day in the market for the English Funds, the limited transactions entered into having taken place at previous quotations. Consols are 928 for transfer, and about 92 1 , I for the account. The new loans now before the public attract almost exclusive at tention, and this department of the house is very lunch neglected.

The SPEAKER took the chair at a quarter after 12 The Athenry and Ennis Junction Railway (Abandon ment) Bill was read a second time. The Market Harborough and Loughborough Road Bill and Queen's Road (Battersea) Extension Bill were consi dered, and ordered to be read a third time. PETITIONS. Petitions were presented from Leeds praying for a modi fication of the income tax, and for its abolition on incomes under £150; Mr. WYNNE, from Oswestry, against the En dowed Schools Bill ; and several praying for modification of the fire insurance duty. THE COTTON TRADE. Mr. FERRAND gave notice that on Friday next ho should ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether he would give him up a Government night immediately after Easter, in order to enable him to call the attention of the house to the present state of the cotton trade, and the fact that half a million or more of operatives were in unwilling idleness. DISEASES PREVENTION (METROPOLIS) BILL. Dr. BRADY, atter presenting several petitions in favour of this bill, proceeded to move that it be read a second time. He said the bid of 1860 had proved inoperative, and the ob ject of his bill was to introduce a new state of things. The public health was exposed to great danger from conveyance of persons afflicted with infectious and contagious diseases to the hospitals from private dwellings in public vehicles. In order to show the danger to which the public were exposed and the great necessity for a remedy, he quoted figures from the report of the London Fever Hospital for 1861. In that year 663 persons were admitted into that hospital, 317 being females, and 329 males. Of these 110 died, showing the malignant nature of the maladies under which they laboured —namely, typhus, scarlet fever, and measles. No less tban 265 laboured under typhus, and of these 18 per cent. died, 9 dying within 48 hours after their admission; 156 were severe typhoid cases, and 33 or 21 per cent, died. Of the entire number, 86 were domestic servants, whose em ployers, curiously enough, were subscribers to the hospital. Altogether 534 of the patients were sent by parish authori ties, showing that the proper mode of conveying persons afflicted with fever should be entrusted to the various parishes, as provided by the bill. It was a common prat • tine to convey lever patients in cabs, and thus there was the greatest danger of those who subsequently used the vehicles being similarly afflicted. He cited cases in which fevers had been contracted by the use of such vehicles. His opinion, and that of medical men with whom he had communicated, was in favour of the compulsory use of dis tinct vehicles for fever patients, under the charge of the parish authorities. Mr. AYRTON did not know what course the Secretary of State for the Home Department intended to adopt en this bill, but he trusted the hon. member would see reason to withdraw it, as it would be far better that parishes, as empowered by the Act of 1860, should make the requisite arrangements for the conveyance of fever patients to the hospitals than be placed under rigid rules that might not be applicable to every case. Mr, D. GRIFFITH supported the bill, believing that it would introduce an entirely new and useful system. Mr. HENLEY objected to the bill, because it would set up a system of penalties upon cab owners for carrying persons afflicted with infectious and contagious diseases, which would be found very difficult to administer on account of the difficulty of determining what were and what were not diseases of the nature spenified. If the bill, however, could be put into a workable form, and would not operate injuriously, he should support it, but would be guided in the course he took upon it by what might be said by the right hon. baronet t he Secretary for the Home Department. Sir G. GREY considered that the bill would be impera tive, and he feared could not be sufficiently amended in committee to be workable. The first clause provided that within a month after the passing of the bill parishes ehould provide a sufficient number of carriages for the conveyance of fever patients, and that they should be placed in various parts of such parish ; but no power was to be taken as to the number of vehicles required, or the cost. It would be difficult to arrive at a decision as to what were infectious diseases, and hence the difficulty would arise in imposing the prescribed penalties. The police had at retchers and other eligible means of conveyance, and were ready at all times to co-operate with the parishes in conveying fever patients. Probably stretchers constituted a better mode of convey ance than any other. He advised the }non. gentleman either to postpone or withdraw his bill, in order that he might communicate with the Commissioners of Police on the subject. After a short discussion, the hon. gentleman postponed his motion until the 27th of May. CONSOLIDATED FUND (Z 10,000,000) BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. The house adjourned at 20 minutes after one o'clock. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION. HOUSE OF COMMONS, MARCH 17. GAME LAWS. Motion made and question proposed, "That a select com mittee be'appointed to inquire into the operation of the laws' relatitig to game, and to report whether in their opinion any, and if any what, alterations are required therein." Amendment proposed, to leave out from the word "That" to the end of the question, in order to add the words, " in the opinion of this house, it it desirable that the appointment of a select committee to inquire into the operation of the Game Laws should be postponed until further experience shall have been obtained of the work ing of the Prevention of Poaching Act, 1862," instead thereof.

The journals of Oran (Algeria) state that the wheat and barley crops in that province look most promising, tp the great joy of the farmers, who are in Lopes of having good crops, to compensate for the deficiencies of the last NUM The Return of the Prince and Princess of Wales, Yesterday had been looked forward to for some days previously with eager interest at Portsmouth in consequence of the hope and belief entertained that their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales would land there from the Fairy yacht on their return from Osborne to Windsor, in lieu of landing at the Royal Clarence Yard, on the oppo site side of the harbour, which is the route usually taken by her Majesty in her journeys to and from Osborne. A respectful request had been forwarded to Osborne by the mayor and municipal authorities that the Prince and Princess would thus honour the town, but the arrangements which had already been made for the debarcation of their Royal High. ness to take place at the Royal Clarence Yard pre vented the re quest being acceded to. A notification was, however, received from Oeb - rne that the Prince would receive an address from the corporate body afloat, fur which purpose the Fairy would be stopped off the Victoria Pier, at the entrance to Portsmouth harbour. The Fairy was expected to arrive about 11 a.m., and Vice-Admiral Sir M. Seymour, K.C.8., placed his barge and the boats of her Majesty's ship Victory, under the command of Flag Lieutenant J o h n B . Mi c h e ll, a t t h e di sposa l o f the Corporation. The Victoria pier wasgaily decorated with flags, and the Mayor and Corporation repaired thither in their robes of offices. The Royal Clarence Yard at Gosport was thrown open to the public, and was soon crowded by thousands. The special train, with the Queen's State czrriage, was placed opposite the Queen's private station, which adjoins the landing pier, and a guard of honour, furnished by the 6th Regiment of Foot, was there drawn up. The road over which the Royal train had to pass in leaving the Clarence Yard was kept by eighty men of the 6th Hants Rifle Volunteers, under the corn mend of Lieut. Compigne, and a detachment of the 6th Foot. Major-General W. Paulet, C. 8., Vice- Admiral Sir M. Seymour, C. 8., and Rear-Admirals G. Elliot and R. Smart, K.H., with Captain Super intendent Hon. G. Hastings, C. 8., Colonel Somer set, C. 8., Assistant Quartermaster-General, Colonel Thackwell, Assistant-Adjutant-General, and other officers of their respective staffs, and attended by the captains of the ships in commission at the port, and a numerous bcdy of military officers, all in full dress uniform, were waiting their Royal Highnesses' arrival on the landing stage and platform. The weather was bright and clear, but a strong and bitterly cold northerly wind prevailed. At forty five Master minutes Queen steam yacht, ter Commander past ma ten n der Paul, arrived r from Osborne with the Royal equipage. It was ten minutes past Mo eleven, however, before the signal announcing the approach of the Fairy was heard. A Royal salute was then taken up by the whole fleet with manned yards, including the Victory and St. Vincent in Portsmouth harbour. The Fairy, in a few minutes , after the conclusion of the salute, was in her ap pointed position off the Victoria Pier, with engines stopped and motionless. She waited to receive the civic dignitaries, who immediately approached in the vessels placed at their disposal. The Mayor, with a few appropriate words, handed the address to the Prince, who said, " it gave him much pleasure to receive it, and he much regretted that time - would not permit of himself and the Princess landing at Portsmouth." With these few courteous and friendly words the ceremony was over, and the deputation bowed and withdrew, the Fairy steaming into the harbour, while shouts of welcome rang out from the crowds on shore and from the seamen on the yards of her Majesty's ships Victory and St. Vincent. At the landing-stage Major-General Lord W. Paulet, with Vice-Admiral Sir M. Seymour and Rear-Ad miral Elliot, at once hastened on board to pay their respects to their Royal Highnesses, and a deputa tion from the clergy, magistrates, and inhabitants of the borough of Gosport and the parish of Alver stoke were introduced to the Prince and Princess by General Knoilys. The deputation consisted of Mr. H. D. P% Cunningham, magistrate for the county of Hants, and Captains Gambier and Man sell, R.N. Mr. Cunningham presented an address which was graciously received. This ceremony over,the Prince and Princess made their appearance on deck in readiness to disembark. As the Prince and Princess passed right through the centre of the crowd to the state carriage one grand hearty Eng lish hurrah burst forth. The guards of honour of .the 6 h Foot and Hants 6th Rifles presented arms, the hand of the lino playing the English and Danish Anthems, the regimental coleurs were lowered, a precautionary shriek from the locomotive, and the Royal train moved slowly out of the yard on the way to Windsor, amid renewed cheers from the spectators. At Windsor the Prince and Princess were ex pected to arrive about half-past 1 o'clock, and long before that hour the station and the whole route through High-street and Park-hill to the Castle was thronged with spectators. Thousands of visitors had been pouring into Windsor by the South and Great Western Railways during the morning to inspect the decorations at the chapel, and the num ber assembled fell little short of that congregated on Tuesday week last to witness the departure of the Prince and his Bride for Osborne. From the judicious arrangements of the borough police, how ever, under the able direction of the Mayor (Mr. Hanson) and the magistrates, Messrs. Blunt, Harris, and Driver, the danger and annoyance of an over crowded position experienced on the wedding day were avoided, and every person had an excellent opportunity of seeing the Royal couple as they proceeded to the Castle, precisely at 2 o'clock. The arrival of the train was announced by the ringing of peals from the Chapel Royal of St. George and St. John's Church. A few minutes afterwards the Prince and Princess proceeded from the station to the Castle in an open carriage, amid the hurrahs of the multitude. The streets were decorated with flags and various devices, and looked as gay as on the day of their departure for Osborne. 'There was no guard of honour, and the Prince and his suite occupied only two carriages. Her Royal Highness wore a purple velvet mantle and white silk bonnet, with blush roses. The Loss of Life at the Illuminations. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—I am directed by the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, particularly to request the favour of your inserting the enclosed copy of a communication this day received from Lieutenant-General Knollys, the Controller and Treasurer of the Household of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. I am, sir, your obedient servant, WOODTHORPE. Gui dhall, P C,, March 17. " Osborne, March 16, 1863. "My Lord,—l have received the commands of the Prince of Wales to express to your lordship the deep concern his Royal Highness has experienced on becoming acquainted with the hfilicting circum stances and loss of life which occurred in the City on the night of the illuminations. " His Royal Highness would be the last person in the country not to feel, as we ll as ev i nce by sympathy on magnificent r e s c u e e p h t o a an g o e c v i v c e a e r s t y l i o m t n o e, the especially i e s a a f n p t deorwpetrhri Princess of Wales on their passage through the City, and th e d emons t ra ti ons of loyalty and affection which met them on every side. It will be an alleviation to his Royal High ness's distress to contribute in any way towards relieving the distress of those who have suffered when rejoicing only was the object, and his Royal Highness would, therefore, feel obliged by any further information your lordship would be good enough to furnish him with through me connected with the chief sufferers. "I have the honour to be, my lord, your lord ship's obedient servant, " W. KNOLLYS, Lieut.-General. " The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, M.P." A NOVEL GUN.—At Linzekilns, Fifeshire, on the 10th inst., some persons were desirous of showing their loyalty by firing a salute, but a serious obstacle pre sented itself in the fact that no such thing as a piece of ar tillery existed in the place. A loc a l gen i us se t to work, h owever , and in a short time had fabricated a cannon out of ropes, which he coiled tightly into the shape of a tube. The experiment was highly successful, the salute being fired without accident.—Scotsman, SPORTING NOTES. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) The Warwick Meeting, from immediately preceding the Northamptonshire Stakes, will be regarded with especial interest, and some notable movements may be anticipated in the Turf Market in connection with Vie first really im portant handicap of the season. During the last eight and-forty hours Grimston has been backed for so large a sum of money that ho has quite supplanted Knutsford for the position of first favourite. Both these horses have been supported for a deal of money, and as Challoner rides for Mr. T. Parr, and Fordham is retained for Knutsford the backers of the two favourites will have everything done for them on the score of jockeyship. On Monday next it will become my province to examine Mr. Marshall's Northampton programme at length, but with reference to Knutsford, let me remark that as the horse is a perfect glutton at a distance, he is sure to stay home, and, with " the Demon" in the saddle, I question whether I shall be able to furnish your readers with a better one to stand upon at the finish than the honest and good-looking k on of Rata plan and Miss Melbourne. What may have been the issue of the past day's racing at Warwick 1 am, of course, unable to say, and any opinion now expressed may wear a very different complexion after the resu't of to-day's struggle. Should Oldminster be allowed to run, he cannot, with such a lenient impost, be beaten for the Great Warwickshire Handicap. Dulcibella, my Newmarket correspondent informs me, will run " big," consequently I can hardly stand by the chance of Lord Stamford. Bedouin is likely to be reserved until later on in the season, otherwise he is formidable enough in the list of acceptances. William Day will probably run Tolurno, or Dr. Syntax, and seeing the decided form of the Woodyeaies stable, their representative cannot but be dangerous. Balham's chance must not be overlooked, and should he come well to the post, and Mr. Morris back him, he will take a deal of beating. Supposing that Oldminster is reserved my vote must be in favour of John and William Day with Balham and Tolurno. If Emblem only runs she cannot help winning the Hurdle Race, but in her probable absence, it appotaro an equally good thing for Sinking Fund. The Two-year-old Stakes rests entirely between the two public performers, Starbeam and Lady Nichol, and from the high trial which the former won prior to Lincoln, coupled with his defeat of the Area filly at Doncaster, I shall give him the preference over the filly, although it will be a close thing between the pair. In the Handicap Plate of £5O, six furlongs, I greatly fancy Ellerton, Peignoir, and Certificate, whom I should choose in the order named. The Grand Annual Steeplechase is likely to fall to one of Mr. Baker's, Sinking fund or Light of Other Days, the first mentioned for choice. The coming "sensation" of the day in the sporting world, will be the great battle between Heenan and Tom King, who are matched to fight on the Bth of December for 41,000 aside. The articles are already drawn up, and £lOO a• side deposited. The "battle of Farnborough " still lives fresh in the memory of the public at large, and a revival of the glories of that day in the persona of two such young giants as John C. Heenan and Tom King, will create an amount of interest and excitement hardly paralleled. PEGASUS. Wednesday afternoon. DONCASTER SPRING MEETING..---TUESDAY.

A. limited supply of English wheat was received fresh up to this morning's market, coastwise, and by land carriage. Selected samples moved off steadily, at very full prices; but inferior produce met a slow sale, on former terms. The supply of foreign wheat on offer was large. In most descriptions, a moderate—chiefly retail—business was trans acted, and the currency ruled firm. Floating cargoes of grain were in fair request, at full quo tations. The trade for barley ruled inactive, at the late decline in prices. The supply on the stands was moderate. The demand for malt was by no means active, at late rates. The supply of oats was large, and all qualities sold heavily, at fully the late reduction in their value. Beans are dull, but without change in value from Mon day. Peas, the supply of which was very moderate, supported previous rates. Most kinds of flour were in fair average request, and prices ruled firm. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.
