NONEI MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENc tt, CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The tine bracing weather ana an increasing confi dence in the result of the present Parliamentary crisis have conspired to make the stock markets wear a cheerful aspect. The business doing remains very limited, and this morning it is further restricted by the members of the Stock Exchange being engaged in electing the Committee for General Purposes. The leading features are an active demand for Turkish Stock amongst Foreign Government Securities, and the firm tone of railways.

Roderick Murchison has been elected by the Academy of Sciences in Paris Foreign Member, in place of th© late Pro fessor Faraday. There are only eight such members, and the honour is regarded by men of science as the highest which a man of science can receive. As a matter of form the decision has to be submitted to the Emperor for his confirmation.. RAILS DIRECT FROM THE ORE.—The Stanton (Virginia) Spectator says that the success of the discovery for converting iron ore into cast steel by a single operation in an ordinary blast furnace is now established beyond controversy. 'tails are now cast from the ore, which prove to be cast steel rails of the best quality, flexible, tenacious, adamantine face, and of diamond hardness. It is impos sible to calculate the magnitude of the value of this dis covery. LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. ROLLS CHAMBERS—This DAY. BROUGHAM V. CAUVIN. This case came before the chief clerk of the Rolls, on an important application as to the de posit of the correspondence of the noble and learned lord, in the court pending the case. It will be recollected that Dr. Cauvin was engaged to select and arrange numerous letters and documents relating to the memoirs of Lord Brougham, and claimed a sum for his literary labours, which Lord Brougham would not pay, and hence the institution of the suit. The object of the learned lord was, by this present application, to have the documents deposited in the Record Court Office before the hearing of the cause, and the defendant objected to deposit the same. The chief clerk declined to make the order, as prayed. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Winslow.) IN RE SIR MORTON PETO, BART., BETTS, AND CRAMPTON. This great case came again before the Court to day, when Mr. Linklater proposed to resume the examination of Sir Morton Peto as to the claims of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Com pany's claim for £6,600,000. Mr. Lawrence said to-day had been appointed for the last examinatio❑ and order of discharge, but it was clear there must be an adjournment. His Honour confessed that he did not know al present to what length the examination of Sir M Peto would extend. Mr. Linklater pointed out that there was a mistake in the balance-sheet of over £lOO,OOO, be cause the bankrupts claimed a large sum to be due to their estate from the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company, how his clients, the rail way company, claimed an enormous sum, and look ing at the balance-sheet he (Mr. Linklater) could eetb—that.there would not be a shilling for any- body. His Honour—Do you mean one shilling in the pound ? - Mr. Linklater meant that in the joint estate of the bankrupts there would not be a farthing in the pound for anybody. It would thus be seen that it made very little difference to the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company whether they proved for the £6,600,000, or for less; but they owed a duty to their debenture-holders, and that duty they must carry out. He thought that it would be the best plan to adjourn the meeting for the last exa mination for three weeks, so that this claim of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Com pany might be regularly discussed. He expected that Sir Morton Peto's examination would last two days after the present sitting. Mr. Crampton knew very little about the matter, but Mr. Betts would be examined, as would also some of the officers of the company, including Mr. Holroyd, the secretary. Mr. Munns, for a creditor, considered that Mr. Linklater's proposition was only reasonable and ought to be acceded to by all parties. Mr. Maynard, for the assignees, did not agree with Mr. Linklater. Mr. Lawrence, for the bankrupts, contended that the examination of Sir Morton Peto was totally unnecessary. There was already a cause in Chan cery and most voluminous evidence had been given, so that this Court was now acting as assistant exa miner to the Court of Chancery. He was quite sure that the London, Chatham, and Dover Rail way Company would not be able to displace one figure of the claim of the bankrupts, and it would be most unreasonable to keep them before the Court. His Honour did not consider that it would be proper to name an early day, and it would be better to adjourn the last examination and order of dis charge for two months, when the present large claim would be probably settled. Mr. Lawrence said he did not wish it to go forth that there would be no assets in this case. Besides the estate of Peto, Betts, and Crampton, there was the estate of Peto and Betts, and, as regarded that, there was already £lOO,OOO in hand, so that a very good dividend might be expected. Mr. Linklater remarked that be should at the proper time object to any dividend being paid until the claim of his clients was decided. His Honour, in answer to Mr. Maynard, said a special day would be named for the consideration of certain claims against the estate. The examination of Sir Morton Peto was then proceeded with, and the bankrupt was being ques tioned by Mr. Linklater as to the transactions with the company, when this report left. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ASSAULT ON A TEACHER OF DANCING.—AmeIia Brown, Henry Brown, Henry Edward, and James Pillar, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, with assaulting John Stanley Drew, teacher of dancing, residing at No. 19, Thomas-street, Stamford-street, Blackfriars. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, appeared for the prisoner Pillar. The evidence of the complainant was to the effect that he was walking along Piccadilly last night, when the female prisoner without any provocation struck him in the eye, and directly after Edwards knocked him down, and then the prisoner Brown kicked him, and on his getting up again Brown knocked him down, and Pillar kicked him. Mr. Lewis having cross-examined the complain ant, and also a witness who gave similar evidence, and having addressed the magistrate on Pillar's behalf, Mr. Tyrwhitt said ho considered the case made out, and fined the prisoners £5 each. CAUTION TO CAB DRIVERS—CRUELTY TO a HORSE.—David Norman, a cab driver, badge 1487, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, by the Royal So ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, with cruelty to a horse, by working it in an unfit state. Inspector Temperley, of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, proved see ing the prisoner driving a horse attached to a four wheel cab in Regent -street. His attention was at tracted to the horse by seeing it flinching from the saddle as if in pain, and on examining the horse he found that it had a large suppurated sore on its back with the saddle pressing into it, that it was lame of three legs, having contracted feet, and the tendon of one of the forelegs was also contracted. The horse appeared to be suffering great-pain, and its nostrils were much distended. The prisoner said the horse was only seven years old, and that he was going to turn it out. Temperley said the horse was nearly 14 years old. Mr. Tyrwhitt fined the prisoner 40s or a month: The amount of Australian gold known to be now on the way t• England is as much as £1,005,000, of which a considerable portion will be due in about a fortnight. The large increase in the remittances arises from the cir cumstance that he export duty on gold was taken off at Melbourne on the Ist of January last. The Lady Melville has £264,000 ; Kenilworth, £37,000; Macduff, .£290,000 ; Mediator, £37,000 ; True Briton, .£115 ; 000 ; Holmesdale, £190,000; and the superb, £72,000.

Tht,y rar ' strides before the actual positions could be defiL a Kettle holder was seen in the van, but he as suuuenly disap peared, and the running was taken up by The Parson on the right of his horses, closely followed by Brother to Knight of the Crescent, Lady Rosehill, Russian Bear,R3d bourne, and Knight of the Garter—the latter on the inside. To these succeeded Cheltenham,Aborgoldie,VanAmbargh, Blinkhoolie, Speculum, Nemea, Stradbroke, and Nyanza i❑ a body, the ruck headed by Thalia, the Attack colt, Kettleholder, and The Breach lying close in their track, whipped in by Clarice and Bassin Dixon. Proceeding through the furzes, Blinkhoolie and Speculum somewhat improved their positions, and, on onto:l.4g the old course at the mile post, they were seen close in the track of the leaders who came streaming down the hill for the Tattenham Corner in close company, but when fairly round the benl the popular colours of Mr. Merry gradu dly disappeared from their proud positions, foil )wed in a few strides further by Redbourne, and Russian Bear, which left Brother lo Knight of the Crescent in command, attended by Lady Rosehill, Knight of the Garter, Nernea, and Aborgeldio on the lower side, with Van Arnburgh Blinkhoolie, and Speculum on the higher ground. At the road Mr. Crawford's colt was added to the list of the beaten division, and Lady Rosehill, for a brief period, flattered her backers by being seen in front, but as they neared the distance she gave way, in company with Nemea, thereby leaving the heavy weight with the lead, but he in turn gave way to Abergeldie, who appeared to have everything beaten at the commencement of the in closure, but Cameron hero brought out Speculum, who came like a shot out cf a cannon in the centre of the Stand, and won with the most ridiculous, ease by three lengths, Abergeldie defeating the game challenge of the Knight of the Garter by a head for second money. Lady Rosehill finished fourth, close up, with Blinkhoolie fifth, Nemea sixth, Nyanza seventh, and Stradbroke next, pull ing up in a body. To these succeeded Van Anaburgh, Feodor, The Parson, the Attack colt, Chelsea, Paul Jones, and Thalia in a body, whipped in by Kettleholder, The Breech, Milton, and Bessie Dixon, the last of whom did not pass the post.

As has been previously stated, he is not a horse that requires much driving along, and the prospects of his winning the Two Thousand are much wore " rosy " than they were a week or two since. There is certainly a much healthier look about him iu the market. The ab surd canard that was circulated respecting his being struck out of the Guineas reflects little credit on those who origi nated it, and it may be asserted on reliable authority that Sir Joseph Hawley stands to win an immense sum upon his horse for this race. Tenuysun, Golden Gift, and Portia have been scratched for all engagements. Count d'Evry's steeplechase horse Silly has been re_ named Afarche-Mal. A. Watkins, the popular French jockey, came over from the Continent specially to ride 31dlle. de Fligny in the Two Year Old Stakes at Epsom yesterday, and finished fifth. Mr. J. Robinson, owner of Old Scratch, winner of the Hunters' Stakes at Margate, requests us to state that this horse is four years old, and not aged, and also half bred. Fleetwing, after winning the Beaufort Stakes at Epsom yesterday, was bought in for 450 guineas, 350 guineas over the entered selling price, which would be divided between the owner of the second horse and the race fund. Sir Oliver, after winning the United Railway Stakes at Epsom yesterday, was bought in for 210 guineas. Sir Oliver had hitherto proved a most unfortunate horse, this being his first win, after running second half a dozen times. The arrangement bet Teen Count Lagrange and Mu table, to which we alluded during the Liverp3ol meeting, has been concluded, by virtue of which Iluxtable had his first mount for the French stable yesterday at Epsom, on Nemea, in the City and Suburban. Grimahaw had wasted severely in order to rido the required weight, but could not get within 31b. of it. The Marquis of Hastings has decided to give up the mastership of the QuJrn Hounds; and we hear that both hounds and horses will be sold at tho Quorn Kennels in May. Mr. J. P, Craven's Sir Oliver, 4 yrs, after winning the United Railway Stakes at Epsom Spring on Tuesday, was bought in for 210 gs, his entered selling price being 40 sovs. ACCIDENT TO idOZIt'S U. Awilymourt—We regret to say that Mr Loftus A rkwright, the Master of the Ess?x hounds, met with an accident on Tuesday last which pre vented his being present at the grand county banquet given to him in the evening. The field met at Loughton, and after breakfasting at the mansion of Mr. Howard, proceeded to hunt the forest. In crossing a ditch Mr. Arkwright's horse fell and threw him, and brought down its hind feet on his breast. Medical assistance was at once sent for, and a carriage having been obtained, the in jured gentleman was conveyed to Epping, and afterwards to his home at Harlow. It was found that no bones were broken, and it is believed no serious injury has been sus tained. CLYDESDALE STALLIONS TOR TEE CONTINENT. —T wo fine three year old Clydesdale stallions have been purchased by Mr. James Walker, of West Lothian, for his highness the Archduke Alb.2rt of Austria. The largest of the two, Young Champion, was bred by Mr. John Kerr, Mid- Calder (who has bred and turned out not a few entire horses for Australia and New Zealand), has already taken two pr:zes, and promises to be a horse of great bone and substance. Tho other, Blink Bonny, bought from Mr. Henry Meikle, Woodside, Linlithgow, is nicely topped, well set on his logs, and has the appearance of fine action and great enduracce. We understand that the pair cost over £3OO sterling, and are to be used for improving the breed of agricultural horses on the Archduke's extensive estates in Hungary. The horses were shipped by Messrs. Currie & Co.'s steamer to Hamburg, and afterwards pro ceed to their destination by railway. We undo: stand that not fewer than ten stallions have been purchasad at high prices since the Highland and Agricultural Society's show at Gla,gow in August last br diff.Tent places abroad.

GRAND JURY CESS (IRELAND) BILL. Mr. STACPOOLE moved the second reading of ths bill, the object of which was to give the ratepayers more con trol over the the amount raised by its means. The Earl of MAYO opposed the bill, and moved that it be read a second time that day six months. The ground of his opposition was that the subject of rating was now under the consideration of a select committee, and there fore it was inexpedient to make any alteration of the system in practice at the present time.

The O'CONOR DON moved that the house go into committee on this bill, which was simply to extend the English act to Ireland.

HOPE moved the second reading of this bill, the object of which was to improve the condition under which this charity was administered.

On the motion for the second reading of this 1)111, Mr. D.

" BATTY AND THE BEASTS" is the title of a chap ter in a book of travels, from which we extract the follow ing graphic description :—" One evening in the early sum mer, a violent thunder storm burst over Paris. My apart ment overlooked the Cirque de l'lmperatrice in the Champs Elysees, where the lions were kept, and the scone for a short space was indescribably grand. The air was full of electricity, and under its influence these animals, as is al ways the case, became fearfully excited. They ran to and fro in fierce and ungovernable rage. They lashed their flanks with their tails in passionate vehemence. Placing their mouths to the ground, they roared in mingled rage and terror, their eyes dilated, and seemed to flash forth the lightnings of the tempest that rioted within them. Without, the roaring of the lions was answered by the bowls of the blast and the loud crash of the thunder. With these intervals were mingled the neighings of a hundred frightened horses in the stables of the circus. Gusts of wind swept down the broad avenue and bowed the lofty trees. The rain descended iu torrents. The people fled from the demon of the storm. Fora few minutes the whole vicinity seemed given up to the furies of elemental warfare. Scarce had the mutter ing thunders died away in distant ravorberations, when the time drew near for Batty's advoat among his brutes. As he came in sight, they hailed him with boisterous up roar. Standing upright against the massive bars, they grappled them in their rage and gnashed upon him with their teeth. A man of iron nerves could hardly have looked upon them with calmness. Had his body been made of steel he would scarcely have dared to trust him self among them. But Batty did not quail. At a bound he leaped into the cage, despising all hesitation. Its iron door be slammed after him with aloud clang. To us who looked on it seemed the gate of a sepulchre. His subjects glared at him as if they would instantly devour him. For a moment he returned their gaze, and looked steadily into the eyes of each. They could not bear the test. One by ono they cowered before him and slunk away, conscious of their helplessness. Again mind triumphed over the rude dictates of instinct, and man, the lord and master, towered in his pride of place." THE IMPEACHMENT OF PRESIDENT JOHNSON AND a REIGN OF TERROR.—DO the American people realise the revolution they are passing through / Is it a small thing to impeach the President of the United States and to depose him on such flimsy and ridiculous charges as the radicals hays trumped up against Mr. Johnson His worst enemies do not assail his honesty or integrity. He has endeavoured to perform his duty according to his understanding of it, and the constitution which he has sworn to preserve. the sole offenoe is that he has not gone with the dominant party in Congress in their efforts to Africanise the country and to revolutionize the govern. meet. Is it a small thing to remove a President for party purposes alone Such a thing was never dreamed of before in the United States. It is an important and very long stride in the way of revolution, And who a short time ago would have thought that a large section of the coma try, ten States of the Union, would be kept for years under military despotism in time of peace I Who would have thought that these States and the white people of our own flesh and blood would be put under the government of barbarous negroes / Who would have ima* glued that Congress would have ventured to abolish the Executive and usurp all the powers of government in its own hands ? Who would have believed that a powerful faction would dare set asid. the constitction and declare it dead ? Yet all this has been done, and much more, within the brief period of two or three years. Is not this revolui tion ? It would be hard to End in history a greater and more rapid revolution lin as short a time. No, the revolution would not stop r'th the deposition of the President. That event 1- sal! only accelerate it. The necessities of the Jacobin pa ?j would impel it on to other revolutionary measures, and probably to serious conflicts among the people. The people would become familiarised with these high-handed and despotic proceedings, and either apathy, which is destructive to liberty, or counter. revolutions would follow. What under other circumstances and in former times would have strartled them might no longer create surprise, and a reign of despotism or anarchy would ensue. The military despotism over the South may be extended to the North. Some disturbance may be fomented as a plea for suspending the writ of habeas corpus and governing the North as well as the South by the strong arm of military power. As this revolution proceeds we shall soon find our securities will ran down abroad, that they will be sent back in vast numbers, and that both the government and country will be plunged into great financial troubles and bankruptcy. Unless the people rise in their might at the polls and drive the radicals fromjowee, we 11 01 . 1 . 1 , g4tar, Pthig 911,:rair91-441214 a
