z_ TYIO tiE/ MARKET A ND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The attractions of the great boat race have greatly thinned the attendance on the Stock Ex change, and business is more than usually quiet in consequence. The result of the division in the House of Commons has not had the slightest effect upon prices. The Discount Market remains essentially in the same position as for some days past. A fair de mand is prevailing pending the dispersion of the dividends, andvates for first-class continue at li to 2 per cent. There is no change whatever in Consols.

The diminished prestige of the meeting was almost re stored by the success that attended the big race yesterday —the Grand National Hunt Steeplechase Handicap—for which the considerable field of fourteen was brought out, embracing most of the more prominent cross-country. " cracks" of the season. Over night The Lamb, the winner of the Liverpool Steeplechase, had been made the favou rite, but on the course The Doctor had the call. Most prominent amongst the absentees was the Duke of Hamil ton's representative, Avenay, who had been looked upon as a certain runner, having been plunged on by the public to a great extent. He was on the spot, but at the last mo ment his owner resolved not to run him, as he was unable to got anything like a fair price about him in the ring• Alcibiade, who ran third at Liverpool, was next fancied to The Doctor and the Lamb. The others backed for most money were The Nun and Emperor 111. The winner, however, turned up in an outsider, in Albrighton, who ran successfully at Carmarthen, and who now defeated The Doctcr very easily. The chapter of accidents during the race was not an extensive one, but was attended in ono instance with a serious result; as Musketeer, in falling at the last fence, broke his back, and was immediately after wards destroyed. Captain Crosstree also came to grief, somewhat severely injuring his near fore leg, and was forthwith struck out of all his future engagements. The remainder of the racing was unimportant, and the details given below sufficiently explain the sport. A Hunters' Steeplechase of 5 sovs each, with 40 added. 6 subs.

St. Juan made the run ning, Father O'Leary lying off to the brook, which Regi nald refused, and was soon afterwards pulled up, leaving St. Juan with the lead to the straight, where the favourite took the lead of St. Juan, and won a fine race by a head.

The result was a dea heat between Blinkhoolie and the Metropolitan winner, and though the former at the distance appeared .to have the speed of his opponent, there was yet (after having made all the running) a good run left in Blueskin, who, at the end of the inclosure, was fully a neck in advance of his oppo nent, but after the most resolute riding on the part of Custance, he got Blinkhoolie up again in the last stride, and they finished so level that the judge was unable to separate them. The deciding heat was won by Blinkhoolie, who looked iu considerably better trim than at Ep3ottr, and, being all the better of his previous gallop, he dispos3d of Mr. Savile's horse almost without turning a hair. The latter, owing to having to make play on both occasions, ran at considerable disadvantage ; but, neverthe less, Bliukhoolie's performance must be considered very good, as he was giving the winner 261 b. Iu my comments on the City and Suburban I stated that, in my opinion, Blinkhoolie was second best, and his running here goes far to confirm that impression ; but it also proves that he could not have beaten Speculum, although he gave him only 171 b, because the latter actually gave that weight to Blueskin, and beat him easily, at Lincoln, in the Trial Stakes. The 20 sovs Stakes was, as I anticipated, au easy victory for Flower Girl—a fine-grown filly on a much larger scale than Orlando's progeny usually are, and with more bone. Neither her opponents—Armada, by Buccaneer out of Lady Chesterfield, nor Orpheline—were up to much, both being small and backward, consequently Flwier Girl, who was trained very light, won with out. being extended. 11:41:a, E Samuds, j• D Horatian, Tit lion E Samuelson, B Howard, Hon C W G Scott, sir W Howard, Lord B Seely, C Hughes, Thomas Seymour, A Hughes, W B Shaito, It D Hurst, R 1I Sheridan, H B Hutt, Rt Hon Sir W Sheridan, R B Ingham, Robert Sherritf, A C jervolse, Sir J 0 Simeon, Sir J Johnstone, Sir J Smith, J Kearsley, Captain B Smith, J A Kennedy, T Snnth, J B King, lion P J L Speirs, A A Kinglake, A W Itta.cpoole, W Kinglake, J A Stanley, Hon W 0 ICingscote, Colonel Stansfeld, J Kinuaird, Hon Al' Stock, 0 Knatchbull-lingessen Stone, W H Laboucheie, .11 Stuart, Col 0 Laing, S Sullivan, E Layerd, A II Sykes.

He held that the clergy were not like other proprietors, inasmuch as they held their pro. pertynot for their own enjoyment, but for the performance of certain duties, and that it was intended that they should have only a decent subsistence, and that the rest of the proceeds should go to the poor and to the maintenance of the fabrics. He held also that the State could alter the disti ibution of °kir& property, and totally suppress such institutions as it deemed injurious or useless, and employ the revenue for the general advantage. Lastly, he consi dered that in a time of great national distress the State might take possession of the whole property possessed by the clergy and appropriate it to public purposes, if at the same time it took upon itself those charges with which the clergy were entrusted, and provided for the clergy a fixed and adequate support. It was, as we learn from Sir HeLry Bulwer's "Historical Characters," these principles which guided Talleyrand in his vote for the secularisation of Church property in France eighty years ago. The Atheneum says that the new Pasha has interfered with the important excavations now being made at Jeru salem by the Palestine Expedition. The reason seems tc be that Haram, the place around which they are digging, is a Mohammedan Holy Place, and also a fortress.—Mist Garrett has just delivered a course of six lectures on the Physiology of Sight, to a select assemblage of ladies. Professor Nichol is about to open an English Litera. ture Class for ladies, at the Glasgow .University.— The writer of the al tide on the Malabharata in the new number of the Westminster Renew is believed to be Pro fessor Goldstiicksr.—The Athenewn , hopes that soon after Easter the electrical system of communication in railway trains will be carried out.—The Royal Society has elected four foreign members, viz.: Professor Bischoff, of Munich, the physiologist ; Rudolph Clausius, of Wiirzburg, known for his researches in thermo-dynamics ; Samuel Heinrich Schwabe, of Dessau, who for a quarter of a century has made observations on sun spots ; and 11. Von Mold, of Tiibingen, the botanist. A correspondent of the Builder suggests a novel and practical means of carrying out the " reunion of Christen. dom." Ile would have a space of several acres in London set apart for a memorial church, or rather a collection of, say, eight churches of oin! s' yle of architecture, the Second Pointed, with a common tower in the centre, and spire GOOft. high. The tower and the spire might have towards their base galleries for statues, and farther up, to the height of 500 ft., galleries for views. lie would have also immense bells and an illuminated clock of eight dials, visible in clear weather all °ye, London, the group of churches to stand in a square, tc be devoted to eight different denominations, and to be known by " some appropriate, short, distinctive, national name." The projector appears to target that there are e good many more than eight religions in England, many more even than Talleyrand's thirty-nine ; we believe that 139 Jo not much above the number. Betting-4 to 1 agst The Doctor, 6to 1 each agst The Lamb and Alcibiade, 10 to 1 each agst The Nun and Em peror 111., 100 to 7 agst Albrighton, 100 to 6 agst Hornet 20 to 1 each agst King Arthur and Tiger, and 25 to 1 agst' Captain Crosstree. Tiger led, followed by Hornet, Cap tain Crosstree, King Arthur,' and Daisy, Emperor 111. heading the others, the last Three being The Robber , Albrighton, and Musketeer. Ascending the hill, Tiger increased his lead, Captain Crosstree taking the second place, Hornet going on third ; King Arthur and Emperor 111. next, with Gelert, The Nun, and Daisy, The Doctor, Alcibiade, and The Lamb, who were all together ; Muske teer still last of all. At the top of the hill Captain Crosstree took the lead, and jumped the brook just in advance of Hornet, Tiger, King Arthur, and Gelert. Before reaching the stand, Captain Crosstree took up the running, followed by Alcibiade, The Lamb, Doctor, and Hornet. At the head of the remainder were The Nun, Emperor HI., and Musketeer, Alcibiade now whipping in. Gelert was beaten at the next fence, and was pulled up. Approaching the farm house the favourite retired from the van, and joined Albrighton and Alcibiade iu the rear, and Emperor 111. drew up to Captain Crosstree and headed him on reaching the starting field, jumping out of which, however, he gave way to Tiger, and with the exception of the Doctor and Alcibiade, the lot took close order. Making for the mea dows, Captain Crosstree and Tiger led alternately, and Daisy joined Hornet, who was at this point lying with the Lamb and Emperor 111. Rounding the far turn, Tiger took a clear lead, and The Robber ran into third place, Musketeer simultaneously improving his position. About three-quarters of V. mile from home, Em peror 111. took up the running, The Robber going on second, just clear of Captain Crosstree, Mus keteer, The Nun, Tiger, King Arthur, The Lamb, Albrighton, Hornet, and Tho Doctor, who were all to gether. Emperor 111. fell at the last jump but ono, at which obstacle The Doctor also came down. The Robber was left with the lead, but at the last fence the latter fell, and Musketeer at the same time jumped into a "grip,' breaking his back, and rendering his immediate destruc tion necessary. The favourite then took the lead, but Albrighton passed him after entering the straight, and won iu a canter by four lengths. King Arthur, six lengths in rear of The Doctor, was third, and Tiger, a length ofi, fourth. The Lamb, The Nun, Alcibiade, Emperor 111. (who had been remounted), - Hornet, and Daisy, walked past the post in the order named. 'Daisy fell about a mile from home. Reeves led Captain Crosstree to the paddock, the horse having over-reached himself three fences from home, and in landing abrased the skin of his near fore leg.

Brush fell at the fence be yond the stand, and took no further part in the race. Gay hurst then led until coming down the hill, three-quarters of a mile from home, when he ran wide, and Joseph was left in front. He was, however, joined by Gayhurst as they approached the last jump, and the pair were level at the obstacle, when Gayhurst fell, and Joseph coming on won in a canter by ten lengths from Mayflower; Gayhurst was third, beaten a similar distance. Cover Hack walked in, having been beaten off in the first mile. The Stewards' Plate, a handicap sweepstakes of 5 sous each, with 40 added; gentlemen riders allowed 41b. Three miles. 6 subs.

The excellent racing on the second day of Northampton saved the spring meeting held in the vicinity of the capital of St. Crispin from being reckoned in the same category as Nottingham, Derby, Liverpool, and Shrewsbury, four meetings that failed so signally to realise the sport antici pated. Though the weather was not so fine as on Tuesday, the course fairly swarmed with people, the carriage company being more numerous than I ever remember; whilst the grand stand and inclosure were almost as well filled as on the opening day. Indeed, the latter on both days was most incon veniently crowded, and by the most incongruous assemblage ever seen at Northampton ; for so many welshers and others of no better repute were present that the respectable portion of the visitors got so sadly knocked about that the following of pleasure became quite a toil, and matters were rendered worse by the list men being permitted to establish them selves in all kinds of vehicles, close to the railings at the west end of the inclosure, whereby all its occupants, except those on the high ground, were prevented from seeing anything of the running until the horses came immediately in front of the stand. Sad complaints were made of this, and the committee ought in future to remove the lists beyond the entrance to the saddling paddock, which would in some measure abate the nuisance, if they are still inclined to tolerate such a public swindle as this kind of betting has become. That a few " good men and true" keep lists there can be no question ; but when they are mixed up with a set of scoundrels that are a disgrace to humanity the whole system should be abolished. Several disgraceful rows took place on both days, and two fraudulent list keepers, who attempted to swindle, by using the names of well known and respectable members of Tattersall's, were nearly " lynched" by the mob, as their skull 3 suffered not only from knocks, bat depilation a 3 well, whilst their clothes were turn from their backs. The proceedings commenced by Runaway, a smart-looking filly by Orlando out of Flight, walk ing over for the 200 Sovs. Sweepstakes, after which a field of five reached the starting post for Iler Ma jesty's Plate, including B.iiikhoulii and Blue kin, who w ere opposed by Yardarm, Rampart, and Prince Regent. The owners of Blinkhoolie and Blueskin being equally confident, some heavy wagering took place on the result, opinions being so divided that there was little to choose between them on the score of favouritism, 5 to to 4 being taken about the former and 2 to 1 about Mr. Sa vile's horse ; whilst Yardarm was also backed, not withstanding his " groggy " understandings and, The race of the day, the Spencer Plate, was contested by exactly the same number of horses as last year—viz., twenty-six, which is the largest number that ever contended for it, except in 1854, when the field numbered twenty-eight. Seldom have so many good-looking horses been seen at the starting post for this event, or, indeed, for any " fly" race ; and that the chief attribute of so great a number should be speed furnishes proof that our race of horses are fast deteriorating, notwithstanding all that has been said to the contrary. On assem bling at the post they formed a splendid sight, and to say that one looked better than another would be drawing an invidious comparison ; but it could not escape observation that Wolsey was " big," and Man of Ross quite untrained. Ihe large sum in• vested onlroutuaster caused him to be the " observed of all observers," but notwithstanding the favouritism in which he was held, his very plain appearance, and rather weak loins, did not impress the generality of the public in his favour, until they saw him take his preliminary g‘illop, when he, with Brother to Knight of the Crescent, Tibthorpe, Vespasian, Milton, Pericles, and Alruna, were picked out as the best goes, the favourite, the Knight, and Tibthorpc being the trio most fanciel. At the starting post all the party were most tractable, but, neverthe le s, owing to the anzie:y of the jockeys of the favourite, Rhine Wine, Knight of the Cteseent, Milton, Witchcraft, and some others to get well off, coupled with the frictio..s .eis of ‘Volsey and Prince George, both of whom wel eled to the post, c n - siderable delay took place before a start was effected. Wolsey, who was lel by Wells, behaved in a most unruly manner, refusing at first to go near the horses, and when Huxtable did coax him to join them, he lashed out and hit Rhine Wine, an example that was followed by Witchcraft, who made her heels resound off the ribs of Vespasian, and was within an ace of breaking Can non's left leg. At length, when they were pretty well together, the flag fell, but so unexpect edly that many of the jockeys were taken un awares. Butler was, however, fortunately for the backers of the favourite, not among the number, and getting well off Iroumaster went up the hill with the agility of an antelope, lauding on the top at least two lengths in advance of the nearest horse, which gave him such au advantage that nothing could get near him, and he won with plenty in hand, his two next followers being Altana and Br. to Knight of the Crescent. The Alchorp Park Stakes also terminated hi exact accordance with the opinion I expressed, viz., in favour of Curi,iuse, with Brother to Pule-axe second. The winner, though she got badly off, and has to be ridden hard for the first quarter of a 4nile, add moreover car tied a 71b. penalty, won with a good bit in hand, but before the close of the year it is not unlikely that Baron Rothschild's colt, who is extremely good looking, and a fine galloper, will turn the tables on her, as will one or two others that were behind her. The St. Liz Handicap was the "sur prise" of the meeting, terminating as it did in the easy success of Grey Stocking, who, owing to her having been beaten in a trial by the Attack colt before Epsom, was not backed by the stable for a sixpence. Though opposed by Lady Coventry, Lozenge, Nemea, the Attack colt, Cotytto, and nine others, Sister to Athena gave them a sound thrash ing, which was, however, only natural, seeing that Lady Coventry was giving her 51b and two years, and that she received from Lozenge 231 b ! Lady Coventry, who has not improved in appear ance, being still a leggy filly, ran a gallant race, considering the heavy impost she carried ; but I question if Lozenge could not have beaten her for second place had be been ridden out. The first of the Nurseries fell, as I anticipated it would, to Carlotta, who beat her six opponents so easily that all the party ought forthwith to be put out of train ing ; after which Donato and Organ Grinder ran a match for the Waterloo Gorse Stakes, which the latter won in a canter, owing to his good-looking opponent breaking down. The meetings for next week are Bromley, Tad caster, and the Border Hunt.. The former takes place on Monday and Tuesday, with a well filled list, extending to 14 races, 10 of which will be run on the flat, two over the country, and two over hurdles. The Hunters' Stakes on the first day looks a good thing for HELICE, her most dangerous op ponent being WALTERSTOWN. - For the Bromley Plate 20 horses have been han dicapped, and the three I consider to have the best chance are RED RIBAND, 4 yrs, 7st 121 b, FINESSE, 3 yrs, 7st 101 b, and TYRONE, 3 yrs, 7st 101 b. In the Hurdle Race sixteen horses are engaged, including VIGILANT, 6 yrs, 12st; MONITRESS, 5 yrs, list 101 b ; and WHITWORTH, 4 yrs, list, who are, in my opinion, the pick of the handicap. For the Railway Steeplechase twenty-four horses have been weighted, of whom I consider THE ROB BER, aged, 12st 41b, WALTERSTOWN, 6 yrs, 11st 101 b, and ORDER, 4 yrs, lOst, to be best in. The entry for the Trial Stakes extends to eleven horses, who have to run the five furlong course, which I consider a distance so suited to SUGARSTICK that she ought to win, most of her opponents being only two years old. The Bromley Cup and the Selling Stakes, both of which close the evening preceding, comprise the remaining events for the first day. The list for Tuesday extends to seven races, in which most of the horses engaged on the first day are also entered, consequently it would be only a waste of time my offering any opinion respecting them. The Tadcaster meeting will be held on Wednes day, under the patronage of the Earl of Londes borough, who gives a handsome cup to be run for. There are numerous entries for the four closed races, seven horses having been nominated for the Cup, eighteen for the Brantingham Cup, eight for the limiters' Plate, and eighteen for the Somerset Plate, but I am not sufficiently read up in the per formances of the northern hunters to give any opi nion respecting them. The Qieen paid a visit to Lard Derby yesterday at his house in St. James's-square, Lord Stanley being present at the reception. Although several in ushers of the suite were ia attendance, the visit was of a s'rictly private character, an 1 was intended to mark her Majesty's personal interest in the returning health of the noble Earl.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A MAGISTRATE'S DIFFICULTY.—Robt. Stewart an elderly man, who appeared to be very ill, was charged before Mr. Knox, with assaulting Elizabeth Nelson. The complainant said that she was about leaving the room she occupied, belonging to the prisoner in Holles-street, Wardour-street, when the prisoner came up on the landing and caught hold of her, and threw her down stairs, cutting her head. The prisoner said that he was pushed by the complainant against the balusters and hit ribs badly injured. Mr. Knox adjourned the case two or three times, thinking that the prisoner would have given the complainant some compensation. On the case being renewed Mr. Motum, the - secretary of the Society for the Protection of Women and children, No. 10, Haymarket, attended to watch the case. Mr. Knox asked whether any compensation had been made to the complainant ? The prisoner said he was not in a position to make any. The complainant said she did not wish for any. She wished to have the: prisoner pun ished. Mr. Knox said the complainant wished the prisoner sent to prison, and he considered the complainant a very unforgiving woman. He was somewhat in a difficulty what to do in the matter. The prisoner certainly had assaulted the complainant, and ho had no doubt, from the evidence, the complainant's story was true, but then the prisoner had received a con tusion of the ribs, and appeared to be very ill, and it was a hard thing to send a sick man to prison. However, he had uo alternative, and he would there fore commit the prisoner for a month, without hard labour, and if he required it he would have me dical attendance. MARKETS—(This Day.) HAY AND STRAW. The markets were well supplied this morning with hay stuffs, and a moderate (hauled prevailed at late rates. Meadow hay, 60s to 81s; clover, first cat, 80s to 100 s ; second, 55s to 81s; straw, 30s to 545 per load. POTATOES.
