UONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE o'CLocK. The general discount market this morning appears rather firm, possibly under the influence of a fair demand for money, which has been experienced this morning. The uncertainty of the future pros pects of the money market is shown by brokers who still enforce 31 per cent. for the best three months' bills. The Canada from America has brought 16,086. The accounts from the manufacturing districts for the past week are generally of a satisfactory charac ter. At Manchester prices of both cloths and yarns have been well maintained. The woollen trade of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield has shown symptoms of increased animation ; and in the hosiery and lace departments at Leicester and Not tingham a more cheerful tone has prevailed. Business in the hardware districts, viz., at Birming hem, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton, has continued satisfactory. A new undertaking is the Whittington Freehold Colliery Company, requiring a nominal capital of £135,000 in shares of £lO each. Tee amount to be first called up is £75,000, but as nearly half of this sum is taken by the vendor in part payment for the estate, and as 2,000 shares have been already sub scribed by the directors, only 8,000 shares are now offered to the public. The property in question is situated near Chesterfield, is intersected by the Midland Railway. and comprises 170 acres of arable land, and covers 350 acres of mineral strata, con taining six seams of coal and three beds of iron stone. The plant and machinery are also included in the purchase, and the collieries are capable of producing upwards of 500 tons of coal per day, while the sale of ironstone, the workings of which has only recently been commenced, exceeds 300 tons per week. Two o'CLocI. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were at 68f. sc. to 68f, Very flat. Operations in the English Stock Market this morning have been limited, and as a consequence, when business is restricted and a few sales are effected, quotations recede. The decline up to the present moment represents a per cent.,Consols being 924 5 for money and account. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 931 ; Bank Stock, 236 238 ; India Stock, 227 229, and the 5 per Cent. Loan 108 k ; the Debentures are 1001 ; the Bonds 16s. prem. ; and Exchequer Bills, par to 3s. prem. Business, in the Foreign Market is rather active, and prices of nearly all the principal securities has declined ; the most important movement is the fall in the Confederate Loan, which is now 4 to 3-1 dis count owing to the bad news from the seat of war. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are 671 68; do. Conso lides, 501 2 ; Mexican, 37; ; Spanish Passive, 32 331 ; Greek, 341 ; do.

Caledonian and South Eastern have re ceded about 108,, and Great Eastern, Brighton and North Western 58. For the Foreign and Colonial undertakings there has been a very limited enquiry, and quotations show little change of importance. Bank Stock and Miscellaneous Shares remain in• active without any material change to report in prices. International Financial Shares are quoted 44 to 44 prem. ; General Credit, 14 l i 7,- prem. ; Lon !Ion Financial, 11.-- to 11 prem.; Egyptian Trading Company, 14 to 14 prem. ; and Hudson's Bay to dis.

Adviccs from New Yolk state that good and fine whe'at and flout were in moderate export demand, at rather higher prices. On the Continent the trade generally is dull. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were very small. The imports front abroad amounted to 3,786 quarters of wheat, 5,232 barley, 27,576 oats, 2,539 beans, 1,503 peas, 292 linseed, 2,470 oilseeds, 20 sundry seeds, and 50 sacks of flour. A very small supply of English wheat was received fresh up to this morning's market. The demand, however, both for red and white qualities ruled inactive, yet no change took place in prices compared with Monday last. With foreign wheat the market was well supplied.

Defendant—She says I said I'd be hung for her—that's lies—l did not. Mr. Sello—What do you say to striking your mother 2 that'i3 the question. Defendant—lt's wrong, and I shan't do it any more. Mr. Selfe—if you know this is wrong, why do you do it? Defendant—The night before she was after massacring me. Mr. Selfe—Why don't you leave her ? You are bound to work for your living. Your mother is not bound to keep you—that is a mistake of yours. You are an ill-conducted, lazy fellow, and I'll see whether you can't do some labour on your own account.

Sennett, assistant•engineer, to the Indus, as communication, except from London to Hull. (Hear, hear,) That a steam navigation company ran boats from London was beside the question. Private capitalists had not come forward to supply this obvious public want. The houee had granted similar powers to other companies ; for in stance, the London, Brighton, and South Coast Company had received legislative powers to run boats from Newhaven to Dieppe. The company had made out a strong case why it should be entrusted with the powers sought, and he trusted the house, would grant them. (Hear, Bin STURT supported the bill. Mr, CLAY, though the chairman of a railway company, and deeply intemoted in others, felt it his duty to set his face against entrusting railways with such powers as those sought, because with their enormous capitals they could sweep off the seas all ships that now carried passengers on independent principles and on independent capitals. ' Sir E. COLE BROKE spoke against the bill. The house divided, when there appeared For the third reading Against Majority —62 The bill was then ordered to be read a third time.

POLAND. Mr, EIORSMAN then (at a iew minutes before ex o'clock) rose to move the following resolution That, in the opinion of this house , the arrangements made w ith regard to Poland by the Treaty of Vienna have failed to secure the good government of Poland or the peace of Europe; and any further attempt to replace Poland under the conditions of that treaty must cause calamities to Poland and embarrassment and danger to Europe." [LEFT SPEAKING.] METROPOLITAN CATTLE. Our market to-day was well supplied with foreign stock, but its general quality was by no means prime. The de mand was heavy, and the quotations were with difficulty supported. From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts fresh up were seasonably extensive, and most breeds came to hand in good saleable condition. The arrivals from Ireland and Scotland were very moderate, Although the attendance of buyers was numerous, the beef trade was in a sluggish state. Compared with Monday last, however, no change took place in the quotations. The extreme value of the best Scots and crosses was ss. per Slbs. The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire comprised 2,600 shorthorns, &c.; horn other parts of England, 800 various kinds; from Scotland, 80 Scots and crosses ; and, from Ireland, 50 oxen and heifers. Although the supply of sheep was again extensive the mutton trade ruled steady, at full prices, A few very supe rior Downs realised 5s 2d, but the general top figure for mutton was 55 per Sibs. We have to report a steady sale for lambs, the show of which was good, at full currencies —viz,, from 5s 4d to 6s. 4d per 81bs.

OPEN••AIR PREACEIING.—TiIeReV. Richard Hibbs, who appeared before Mr. Corrie on former occasions for creating a disturbance by collecting a crowd in front of the Duke of York's Column by preaching, and at whose request the charge was adjourned, again attended this morning to show that he was acting within the law, and that the police had no authority to take him into custody. • Inspector Wilson said--In consequence of the complaints of Sir M. Ridley and several members of the clubs, Sir R. Mayne had directed the police to prevent preaching near to the Duke of York's Column, and because Hibbs refused to desist he was taken into custody. Mr. Hibbs—l should liko to know if there has been any particular objection to me ? Inspector Wilson—Yes, several gentlemen of the clubs have frequently complained. Mr. Hibbs—You don't call that a complaint of the in. habitants. Mr. Corrie—l don't see under what section in the police act you are proceeding. Mr. Hibbs—Neither do I see any section which declares preaching a nuisance. How do you make it a nuisance and annoyance? Inspector Wilson—By the crowd collecting. Mr. Hibbs—Did you find the crowd and myself dis orderly ? Inspector Wilson—No. There was no disorder, but you were proceeding at the top of your voice, and have been told that the members of the Athenamtn Club have been compelld during the hot weather to close their windows in consequence of the annoyance. Mr. Coriie—That is the club to which the learned men belong. Mr. Hibbs—Can you say the distance from the Ather reum at which I was preaching ? Inspector Wilson—No, not exactly, but I should say about GO feet. Mr. Hibbs—Well, would it be possible to select a more desirable site for the purpose of preaching ? Inspector Wilson -- Supposing preaching was allowed there I should say you could not take up a better spot, It was nearly in the centre. Mr. Hibbs—Now, referring to the complaint of Sir M. Ridley, do you consider that the persons who were listen ing to my preaching could be called "noisy rabble and bad characters ?" Inspector Wilson—Well, I can't say that. There was a large crowd, and you were preaching. As you refused to go away, I took you into custody. Mr. Hibbs—And that led to a breach of the peace occa sioned by the constable. Mr. Corrie—You do not act in this matter under any particular section of the act, but from . the general order you receive, to disperse all crowds? Inspector—Yes, your worship, that is so. Mr. Corrie—The better course for you to adopt, Mr. Hibbs, as you contend you have done no wrong, is to show me the right you have to be there. Mr. Hibbs—There was no obstruction to begin with. Mr. Corrie—Thero wore, according to your own state ment, about 200 persons listening to you. Mr. Hibbs—There was enough room for two carriages to pass together between the crowd and the kerbstone. There was no obstruction, and I do complain of the conduct of the police. The Rev. G. Townshend, incumbent of St. Michael's Burleigh-street, said he knew Mr. Hibbs, and he con sidered his preaching was quite of a consistent nature. He had Ken Mr. Gladstone listening to Mr. Hibbs preaching. Mr. Brook, of Newgate-street, said Mr. Hibbs was most scrupulous in his observance of the law. In addition to Mr. Gladstone, he had noticed the Baron and Baroness Bernstorff, the Duke of Leinster, and others of the nobility listening to his preaching. With respect to the members of the Athenaeum Club, he did not wonder at their shutting down their win dows ; he was only surprised they did not draw down the blinds. (Laughter.) They sat all Sunday reading news papers, and a more irreligious body of people he did not know. (Laughter.) He considered that the proceedings of Mr. Hibbs had had a beneficial effect rather than otherwise, for he had frequently seen many highly influential persbnages listening to him. Mr. Mathew H. Field, of 24, King's-road, Notting-hill, spoke of the orderly manner of the crowd. Inspector Wilson—There had been no less than seven persons preaching in the space before the column that par ticular Sunday. Mr. Hibbs—l cannot see, as beyond all dcubt the Bishop of London and Lord Wrottesley Russell have preached in the open air in Covent-garden market, that I can be cm sidered to have committed any offence against the law. After a long discussion with the rev. gentleman, ' Mr. Collie said ho did not think Mr. Hibbs had a right to preach in the place he had selected, and as the police had prevented the repetition, he was not called upon to proceed farther with the matter. Mr. Hibbs—l don't know but what I've a cause of action for illegal arrest against the constable. Mr. Corrie—l've nothing to do with that. The rev. gentleman and his friends then left the court. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. --- KICKING A WIFE DOWN A. FLIGHT OF STAIRS—COM MITTAL FOR TRlAL.—Thornas Behan, a tall powerful-built man, residing at 25, Whitcombe-street, St. Martin's, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with violently assaulting his wife, Anne, by kicking her down a flight of stairs. Tho complainant, a very stout female, who seemed to suffer a great deal, and gave her evidence sitting, said—On Saturday morning my husband came home about 4 o'clock, having been drinking. B e was l et i n by my daughter, 11 years of age, and then began calling her all manner of bad names, and pulled me by my hair. My child said, "Father, for my sake don't kill my mother, and when the shops are open I will get you something to eat." He had been look ing in the room for something to eat, but he has given me no money for my support, neither has he paid the rent for 12 years. He then went to bed, having been drinking. I got up early and went about my work, being a laundress On corning back from Brompton I heard that he had got up and gone out, and he returned about 7 in the evening nearly drunk, bringing some victuals with him. My child came to speak to me, and he called out to her "why do you speak to that —." Ho afterwards sat down, and as he had a knife and fork in his hand, and I was afraid he would hurt the child, I sent her downstairs. I then went on to the third step of the stairs, intending to descend them, when my husband followed me, and put his foot on the skirt of my dress, and on my turning round he lifted up his fcot and deliberately kicked me down the stairs-14 in number—and I fell to the bottom, and he never attempted to pick me up. I could not speak a word and could not move. Two doctors were sent for, and I was afterwards taken to the Charing-Cross Hospital in a cab. The doctor said I had no bones broken, but I believe something in my head is broken—it was very bad. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Did he kick you on purpose ? Complainant—Oh yes. He gnashed his teeth, and said when he kicked me "fake that." All my injuries are on my head. Mr. Tyrwhitt —ls it the first tina , you have had to com plain of him. Complainant—Oh no. Prisoner—Did I kick you off the stairs. Complainant—Yes, and you said you would tear my liver out too. Ellen Lowe, a married woman living in the same house, said—l heard a noise and the prisoner say " Take that." I heard Mrs. Behan scream, and afterwards found her lying at the bottom of the stairs. The stairs are very steep, nar row, and dangerous. Her head was on the floor and her legs up three stairs. I then sent for a constable, nor being able to raise Mrs. Behan myself. I saw some black bruises on the back of Mrs. Bohan's neck, and her arm is swollen. Michael Brosnan, 185 C, said—l found the complainant lying on the floor, and she could not speak fcr some time, and when she did she said prisoner had kicked her down stairs. The prisoner, who was sitting in his room, said his wife had fallen down. Mr. Tyrwhitt—He was not doing anything to assist her ? Brosnan—No, sir, he had been drinking. In answer to the charge, prisoner said he had quarrelled with his wite, and that she fell down the stairs. Mr, Tyrwhitt—l believe you did kick her down. It is a moat brutal thing altogether, and very fortunate for you THAMES. MURDEROUS OUTRAGE.—Ccrnelius Collins, an Irish labourer, was brought bofore Mr. Woolrych, charged with being concerned wi►h others in a murderous outrage com mitted on the 11th of June last. Thomas Wooton, a police-constable, No. 252 K, who has been suffering from the violent assault committed upon him, stated that in consequence of repeated complaints from the inhabitants, of men and boys lying about the footpath and obstructing the thoroughfare in the East India-road, he was directed to interfere and remove offenders. On the Ilth of June, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, he proceeded to re move persons lying on the footpaths. The obstructions on that day were so extensive that passengers on foot were compelled to walk in the roadway. Every person who was spoken to removed except the prisoner, who said " be hanged for you before I move an inch." He remonstrated with the prisoner, and said, " You had better go away, my good man." If the prisoner had been his own brother he could not have been more civil to him. The prisoner would not leave, and his countrymen called out, " Don't go away, kick the life out of him; kick his guts out." The prisoner then struck him a violent blow with his fist on the eye. He seized the prisoner, who kicked and struck him several times. A severe struggle ensued, and the prisoner was rescued from him. He ran after the prisoner, who struck him again and also kicked him. The bystanders called out, " Kill the -." In his def,nce he had to use his truncheon, and struck the prisoner, Directly afterwards a heavy stone was thrown, and it struck him on the head, felled him to the ground, and rendered him insensible. He lost a good deal of blood, and was carried into a public-house. He was unable to do any duty for a week afterwards. Ember IVl'Master, a constable in the service of the East and West India Dock Company, confirmed the latter part of Wooten's statement, and said he assisted the disabled constable into a tavern, and it was some time before he re covered. _ _ The apprehension of the prisoner Ly police-constable, No. 493 K, yesterday (Sunday) afternoon was proved. Mr. Woolrych said the prisoner was concerned with others in a cowardly outrage on the constable, and com mitted him for trial. Baldassarre's Re-awakened Memory. There are few passages of subtler literary gran deur in English romance, says a writer in the Spectator (who pronounces "Romola" to be "one of the greatest works of modern fiction ") than that which paints the electrifying effect of a thrill of vindictive passion on Bildassarre's paralysed memory, in recalling once more his full command of Greek learning, and the sense of power which thus returned to him :--• "He leaned to take up the fragments of the dagger; then he turned towards the book which lay open at his side. It was a fine large manuscript, an odd volume of Pausanias. The moonlight was upon it, and he could see the large letters at the head of the page : MEMINIK.A. KB. In old days he had known Pausanias familiarly; yet an hour or two ago he had been looking hopelessly at that page, and it had suggested no more meaning to him than if the letters had been black weather • marks on a wall; but at this moment they were once more the magic signs that conjure up a world. That moonbeam falling on the letters had raised Messenia before him, and its struggle against the Spartan oppression. He snatched up the book, but the light was too pale for him to read fur ther by. No matter: he knew that chapter; he read in wardly. He saw the stoning of the traitor Aristocrates— stoned by a whole people, who cast him out from their bor ders to lie unburied, and set up a pillar with some verses upon it, telling how Time had brought home justice to the unjust. The words arose within him, and stirred innu merable vibrations of memory. He forgot that he was old ; he could almost have shouted. The light was come again, mother of knowledge and joy ! In that exultation his limbs recovered their strength : he started up wi.h his broken dagger and book, and went out under the broad moonlight. It was a nipping frosty air, but Baldassare could feel no chill—he only felt the glow of conscious power. He walked about and paused on all the open spots of that high ground, and looked down cn the domed and towered city, sleeping darkly under its sleeping guardians, the mountains ; on the pale gleam of the river; on the valley vanishing towards the peaks of snow ; and felt himself master of them all• That sense of mental empire which belongs to us all in mo ments of exceptional clearness, was intensified for him by the long days and night in which memory had been little more than the consciousness of something gone. That city which had been a weary labyrinth, was material that he could subdue to nis yurposes now : his mind glanced through its affairs with flashing conjecture ; he was once more a man who knew cities, whose sense of vision was in structed with large experience, and who felt the keen de light of holding all things in the grasp of language. Names ! Images I—his mind rushes through its wealth without pausing, like one who enters on a great inheritance." SHIPPING—This .Day.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENI HOUSE OF LORDS—This Evening. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack a five o'clock. PETITIONS. The Luke of ARGYLL presented) a petition from Shef field, praying that a ship canal might be made between Lake Erie and the Ottawa River, in order to facilitate the impor tation of cern from the Western States of America. Lord REDESDALE presented four petitions against the Irish Fisheries Bill. PRIVATE BUSINESS. _ The Waterford and Passage Railway and Ferry—Peter borough, Wisbeach, and Sutton Railway—Northampton and Banbury Junction Railway—Edinburgh, Dunferm line, and Perth (North British) Railway—and the Had dington Roads Bills were read a third time and passed. NAVY PRIZE AGENTS BILL. Lord CHELMSFORD moved the second reading of this bill, the object of which is to enable captains of all ships of war in commistion to appoint standing prize agents, by which the expense of realizing the value of ships taken as prizes would be greatly reduced and the captors materially benefited. The Duke of SOMERSET said he had several objections to the bill, but he thought he should be able to urge them when the bill was in committee. The bill was read a second time and ordered to be com mitted tomorrow. THE CANADAS. Lord LYVEDEN asked whether any, and what steps had been taken, to raise a militia in Canada since the date of his last despatch to Viscount Monck, dated 30th Dec., 1862? -- - Earl GRANVILLE said he could not give a very satis factory answer to his noble friend. But he would say that, seeing that 25,000 volunteers had offered themselves, and 25,000 more had expressed themselves ready to serve, but had not been accepted, allowed a very good and loyal dispo sition on the part of the colonists. It would be best to wait to see what steps the Colonial Legislature would take with reference to their organization. FISHERIES (IRELAND) BILL. On the motion for going into committee on this bill, Lord CHELMSFORD presented two petitions from certain parties praying to be heard by counsel at their lord ships bar against the bill. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY was of opinion that the present was not one in which the prayer of the peti tioners should be granted. Lord REDESDALE said he had also presented peti tions against the bill, and he should like to l earn th e reasons of the noble lord for refusing to hear counsel. Lord CHELMSFORD then made a formal motion, that counsel be heard at the bar, upon which their lordships divided, when there appeared— Content .............. Non-Content 66 Majority The motion was consequently lost, and the house then went into committee on the bill. (LEFT SITTING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS.—This Evening. The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. The following bills were read a third time :—Finch Hatton's Estate, Hoylake Railway, London, Chatham, and Dover Railway (No. 1), and Tottenham and Hampstead Junction Railway. LONDON (CITY) TRAFFIC REGULATION BILL. On the motion for the third reading, Sir T. SHELLEY moved as an amendment, " That the bill be recommitted to a committee of the whole house." He contended that the bill owing to its importance, as affecting the whole metropolis, ought to have been brought in as a public instead of a private measure. The bill, if adopted, would materially interfere with the traffic all over the me tropolis, and in support :of his opinion he quoted the opi nion of Sir Richard Mayne. On the part of those outside the City he desired to move some amendments, which he should not have an opportunity of doing unless the bill were recommitted. The bill would very unjustly interfere with the heavy traffic, and compel builders and others having business, for instance, with the docks, which were only open daily up to four o'clock, to carry their goods round instead of through the metropolis. Alderman SIDNEY supported the bill. The City must do one of two things, either take power, as proposed by this bill, to regulate the traffic, or destroy' some of the small streets in order to create more space. Sir J. SHELLEY—Hear, hear. ere Aldeman SIDNEY said the hon. baronet was a R___ e financial reformer, and perhaps he would tell hini:f"; the money to accomplish this was to come from. u" virtually planation those interested in the large traffic had _ tim b er withdrawn their opposition to the bill.

Mr. FORSTER moved that ILL standing orders 184. 192, and 220, be suspended, and that the bill be considered forth with. Mr * At A '- --. --C cl JE Y moved that the subject b e considered to-morrow at six o'clocle in consequence of the absence of the hon, member for North Lancashire (Mr. Egerton). Mr. ADAMS said ho attended there at great inconveni ence, and hoped the bill would be at once proceeded with. On the motion 'icing put, the house decided by a large majority of " ayes" that the discussion on the bill should be taken. forthwith. Mr. CRAWFORD moved that the bill be considered this day two months. Captain J ERVIS spoke warmly in favour of the bill. Sir 11. CAIRNS stiongly opposed the measure, and con tended that the company had not made out an exceptional case for the granting of the powers sought. The Govern ment did not construct the harbour at Harwich with the view of railway companies making it a starting point for their boats, which, it was not denied, would : in this case, be run at a loss. so as to create traffic. Mr. M. GIBSON said the question before the house was the expediency of giving a railway comp-,ny power to run boats from the eastern coast of this country to Rolland. At this time there was no such SPORTING NOTES. The Liverpool Meeting was not much of a success, as the fields on the first day were the smallest ever remem bered, and the competitors were of such an indifferent stamp that their performances need but few words of comment. The twenty horses weighted for the Sefton Handicap only produced two runners—Cerintha and Don't Come Late, and as the former was weighted only 81b heavier than Mr. Hodgman's filly, Lord Stamford had it all his own way. This match was succeeded by a walk over on the part of Barchettina for the Sefton Stakes, as the King of Utopia declined to contend for it. The Selling Stakes on the straight half mile was keenly contested by Confidence and 'Virginia, the latter of whom, had she come a litt.9. so3ner, would have won, as Lord Westmoreland's horse only beat her by a short head. The Bentinck Testimonial could not help falling to Johnny Armstrong, when only opposed by such wretches as Mis fortune and Flower Safety. On the Cup day, the course presented a very animated appearance, and whatever short comings the racing was subject to, there was certainly little perceptible falling off in the company assembled. True Heart in the opening race, the Welter Cup, effected the iverthrow of The Cutler, who inflicted a severe cut on his backers, as they laid 2 to 1 on him, and Practitioner prat. tised after the same fashion in the Mersey Stakes, whose defeat by Persuasion was another extraordinary turn up after his recent brilliant achievement at Worcester. The Cup brought to the post a more numerous field than was generally anticipated. There was nothing much to find fault with in the condition of any of the competitors, though some considered Victor to be on the "big" side, while others thought The Knave and Joey Jones too fine drawn. Mr. Hodgman's horse was, perhaps, not quite/up to the mark, but the others were as fit as training could make them, and that there was nothing amiss with The Knave was 'moved by his clever victory; but if Oak Apple had not met with an accident I have no doubt he would have turned the tables on Mr. Merry's horse. Stamford, as usual, attracted a most aristocratic attendance, bur the meeting was not served by being brought forward a week, as, independent of Liverpool and Abingdon using up several of the horses engaged, it clashed directly with Hungerford and Ponte fract, which divided the Ring, and, of course, lessened the attendance. The meetings for this week are Notting. ham, Winchester, Southampton, Knutsford, Cambridge, and Aldershott, and as all, except Knutsford, are within a morning's ride of the metropolis they will afford a good opportunity for an " outing " in this delight ful weather, when the heat of town has become almost un bearable. Nottingham takes place on Tuesday and Wed nesday, and Mr. Bradfield bag seldom brought out a better bill of fare, as there are 18 races on the list for the two days, nearly all of which have filled in a manner that shows how popular the meeting on " merrie Sherwood" has become. Of the nine items set for decision on the first day six are closed, the principal of which is the Nottinghamshire Handicap. It secured a fair acceptance, all things con sidered, as 23 horses remain in, with a likelihood of some ten reaching the starting post, to be selected from Prince Plausible, Doefoot, Dulcibella, Flir tation, Pilot, Bandage, Brighton, Liston, Blithfield, Airedale, Joco, Luna, Jack's Alive, and Middlewatch. Brighton bas been backed within the last few days, but I doubt his ability to beat either Flirtation or Blithfield over the distance, and from what I saw of the latter at Liverpool last week it ought to be a very near thing between him and Flirtation, Garotter ought to win the Robin Hood Stakes; Bertha or Tippler the Bradgate Handicap; Light or The Clown the Buney Park Stakes, and Garotter the Raiford Abbey Stakes. The Hampshire Stakes, run at Winchester, will be won by either Gardener or Earl of Surrey, and the Grange Park Stakes by Hengist. A FRESII MAN. Miss M. E. BRADDON AND THE YORKSHIRE PUB LISHER.—At the Hull Bankruptcy Court, yester day, a bookseller and publisher, named Charles Robinson Empson, formerly of Beverley, and now of Hull, applied for his discharge from custody. The bankrupt's debts amount to £276 18s. 71d.; and in the course of his exami nation it transpired that, in the year 1860, he engaged Miss M. E. Braddon , the popular authoress o f " Lady Audley's Secret" and "Aurora Floyd," 'to write a novel 'the introductionsunder for him, to be entitled " Three Times Dead, or the Secret of the Heath." Miss Braddon was at this time an and were delivered . to played i Ct s s u Queen's I 1: T h eatre, She wroteilu Hull, actress the o t f h M e o t h u e p p: b il l : 0 o rc o i o T a B e s i 3 O n a s n . d This several brought o notice, and while she was staying . at .

The cause of the failure of " Three Times D attempted t ea was that London publishers invari ablyo crush works published in the provinces. —There being no opposition to the bankrupt, he was allowed to pass his examination, and an order of discharge was granted. EXTRAORDINARY ROBBERY.—On the 16th May last the premises known as the Gaer, near Newport, Monmouthshire, were burglariously entered, and the will of the then recently deceased owner, Mr. Thomas Powell, an eminent colliery proprietor in South Wales,several shares in local works, and other documents, were stolen. A reward of £lOO was offered for the recovery of the will, but without effect, till last week, when a mysteriously worded commu nication was received from an anonymous correspondent, stating that if a lady of the Powell family would attend at a certain gate on the Gaer property, and there hold a con ference with the writer, the missing will and other docu ments should be restored intact, on payment of the promised reward. An interview accordingly took place between a supposed lady and the anonymous correspondent ; but £125 were demanded as the price for the restoration of the will, and that sum being refused the conference terminated. A second arrangement was made by letter for a meeting on Monday night, but this also went off unsatisfactorily. A th xd arrangement was mule for 'Wednesday night, but in this the services of the police were engaged, and it resulted in the capture of a young man, named Edward Gill, aged IS, son of a picture-frame maker of Newport, after a des perate struggle with Sergeant Hale, of the county consta bulary. On searching the ground where the encounter took place on Thursday morning the whole of the missing pro perty which had been so mysteriously stolen from the Gaer was discovered. Gill was taken before the magistrates on Thursday, when some prelimitlary evidence was adduced, and the prisoner was remanded till this day. FIRS_—In the course of Saturday and yesterchy fires broke out at the private residence of Mr. E. Highfield, 12, Holloway-place, Holloway-road ; on the pre mises of Yr. R. Filewood, tanner, Great Russell-street, Bermondsey; at the stabling under the wool warehouses in high-street, Aldgate, belonging to Messrs. Chaplin and Home, the railway contractors; at 1, Bell-alley, Long - alley, Moorfields ; on the premises occupied by Mr. Marks, a cabinetmaker, 25, City-road; and in a range of farm buildings belonging to Mr. J. Durdin, at Hayes-commou, three miles from Beddington, in Kent.
