'fIiTCITEY WI" A 6-" .AZT. AYT' C 01Y1 MER MAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLocK. Letters from Liverpool mention that the Colton Market yesterday exhib . tel a quiet but steady appearance, and prices were without alteration. The sales amounted to 7,000 sales. The Railway - Share Market closed steadily, and prices were at a slight improvement. The Bank return, which is made up for the Week ended the 9th inst., is fully as satisfactory as rumour previously described it, and the general features presented will most probably tend to in crease the feeling of confidence already ente r tai ne d With regard to monetary prospects. A steady a ccumulation of bullion is taking place through gold arrivals, which, instead of being ab !sorbed by the Bank of France and the dealers in silver, are now sold to the Thread.needle-strcet authorities. The next return ll no doubt show an augmentation in this de- Parlment to nearly ten millions sterling. Another . e i n er-ning,ing sympt .rm in this statement is the ad dition to the Reserve,, or as it may be more cm rectly termed, the increase in the Bank's power. The total unemployed at the above d:te was nearly 41 Millions sterling. Notwithstanding thi4, however, , there i s an access i on t o th e s t oc k o f tlie other securities tint since th e Di re ctors now confine themselvess to e scounting Bills, and have ceased lending to holders of stock, an improvement in this respect is hot likely to be delayed. The ,liquidation of the 2 1° 0 0,000/. Exchequer Bonds on the Sth inst. has n ecessarily caused a marked decline in the Govern nient Securities and Public Deposits„ and the in crease in the other deposits is partially ascribable 3 the same circumstance. The principal items a nd the changes they present are as subjoined : Active Circulation Decrease Bullion 9,808,127 Increase Rest Increase Pliblic Deposits Decrease Other Deposits Increase Nnre n ..D ity 749.046 and other Bills Decrease uYevernment Securities Decrease Other Securities Increase c) tes unemployed Increase - The official return of the exports of the precious metals from the port of London for the week end- Thursday last is as follows :-- Gold Coin ...

An activ e i nqu i r y f or mone y still prevails both i L 'anbarcl-street and on the Stock Exchange ; 111 1 rate s are consequently exacted. The limited 41 PPlY of capital in the " House " and the pres s,,e of s t oc k f or sale cont i nue to suppor t t h e exor o,ltant terms f or l oans which were current yestt r (,143', but th ere i s per h aps some di m i nu ti on i n th e demand, business on Saturday being usually very quiet. Public securities are still in an unfavourable posi ti") Consequent upon the tightness of the money In arket. The late decision of the Bank Directors delto make adv a n ce s on stock sadly perplexes the Th us whenever they have to pay large amounts. ' t hus during the last few days the supply of stock has exhausted the capital at their immediate command, atiel hence the en h ance d value of accommodation. The few: speculative dealings for a rise are therefore in -;uneient to buoy up prices, and the effect of the t4v ourable Bank return is wholly neutralised. Con !els for money have been 932 k and 932, 94, were the closing rates at one o'clock. For the account t hey have 941 and are now 94A R.

LORD CHAMBERLAIN'S OFFICE, MAY 13. The 'summer szar;en of . these deliL:htfal gardens com mences on Itiondsy rtae:, and the in—i.rit-!tor api'leare de termined to take the field with a Fpir; . t and comprehen siveness worthy of the incrEasiug plpularity of his estahlishrrient, and of the increasing desire f,,r recrea tive and healthful an7u , -=.ement. . _ - - Toe leading alterations and add , tirols consist of a new, theatre, intended for the performances of the Mario nettes, the grand entrance to thit cirque, and the crystal illuminative decoration of the Chinese platform --which are worthy of special allusion, for their import ance and tastefulness, though we would not be unthiod ful of tLe various improvements which have been made in almo , t every 110I'Ll,r1 of the. grounds. As we shall have another opportunity of describjeg the two former of these additions,. we shalt only now remark that one advantage, contingent on the one outside the Cirque, will be one which the public will t a.il .with much pleasure, as they will now be afforded the daisy freedom of the promenade within the Cirque, from widch they will be able to en . py each equestrian perfe mar:cos. The illuminative decoration of the Caioess platform will be very brilliant, being a continuation of c.rcles and arches, which, cOrnmeneing at the centre tsorieo of the sixteen compartments of tre'lis work to a beight.of about 32 feet, entirely surround the dancing circle, the i n f e rior arens enclosing various coloured lamps of novel and tasty form, while the superior ones support a large numb rof fights also varying both in colour and S. me idea mey . be formed of the effect which will be roduced by these additions, when we state that each lamp and light is covered with crystal drops and pen dents, which will be thought somewhat marvellous by t •ose who know the extent allotted to the lovers of Cremorne's far-famed Al Fresco Dance. Tee programme of amusements, which /ncludes a variety of Al Fre:co performances and novelties much too 11111.1101 Out to mention here, indicates a new babe, of which report speaks very highly, and upon the pro duction of which no expense of scenery, musle, and per formers, has bean spared. On former occasions it has been our pleasing task to notice the extraordinary efforts of Mr. Simpson, and we now allude to Crernorae as, in our estimation, one of chose establishments which de serve the most general support, particulaey when we consider it is the result of individual enterprise, and that of the most liberal and comprehensive character.

The following partientars of the stag-hunt at Fon • tainebleau are taken from Galignani's Messenger : " The grand stag-hunt ' whim inaugurated th e residence of the Court at this Imperial Palace, was of the most interesting descripiion. The weather vas delightful, and tee appearance of the forest mo-t picturesque, is light green covering just assuming the strength and beauty of summer foli age. Tile sun was not too bright, and a gentle breeze fanned the air ; in fact, a more propitious day could not be wished fur. The place of rendez vous was the Caxrefour de la Croix de St. Herein, situated ou the road from Fontainebleau to Ne mours At 11 o'clock a number of carriages of all kinds arrived from every quarter, and took up their station at each side of the road near the Carrefour. Admirably mounted horsemen came in every instant, apparently the cavaliers of the fashion ably-dressed ladies in ihe carriages.. This con stant series of arrivals constituted a scene of the greatest animation, awl the excitement was in creased when, at a little after 12, were seen advancing a number of hounds c nducted in leash by three of the Imperial crrooms on foot, accompa nied by two mounted huntsmen. Tht se men were all dressed in the Emperor's hunting livery —green coat trimmest with silver lac , , red unmentionables, ,and laced The huntsmen had each . his bora suspended from the shoulder, and the hunting haneer was suspende lon the !&f , , side. At a quat ter-past one the Imperial party made their appear ance from the Palace, - whin they left by the Cour de Che Val Blanc. The cortege was compcs'.d of several chars-d-banc and open carriages. In the first char-a-banc were the Emperor and the Em press, occupying the front seat, with the Grand Duke Constantine dud the Prince of Nassau behind, their Majesties and the Princes being in the Court hunting costume, consisting of a green coat with gold lace, the waistcoat red, the lower part of the dress being white, with high hunting hoots. The hat Louis XV., a hanger, and a , whip completed the costume. As soon as their Majesties ar rived at the Carrefour de St. Herein they and their more immediate party got on horsehack, grooms having brought *horses to the spot a fetf minutes before. A considerable number of the guests followed the example of their Majesties, horses being provided fOr all ; and as the Empress thought fit to follow the chase on horseback, of course it was the fashion for the ladies to follow the example, and accordingly, a considerable num ber of them appeared on horseback, and all in uni form. The ladies' costume was exactly of the same character as that of the gentlemen, the habit being green with criti son waistcoat, hat and feather, a na gold lace. The Empress's horse was a mort beauti ful animal, remarkable for spirit, but her Majesty sat him fearlessly, and .proved herself a most ac complished horsewoman. When all the guests had got on horseback, every one in the costume pre scribed by etiquette, the sight was an exceedingly terling one : and the eager baying of the hounds, the impatience of the horses, the animation of the ride's, and noble forest for the back scene, were in themselves worth coming twenty leagues to see. But no great time was afforded for admir ing the scene, as the Emperor at once gave the signal, and the chase commenced. The Imperial party took what is known by the name of the Route Ronde, and almost immediately the stag was roused at no great distance from the trysting place. The Emperor, Empress, Grand Duke and Prince de Nassau were in the first line, etiquette as Well as politeness interdicting their being headed at the commencement of the hunt ; afterwards when the incidents might become more multiplied, why alors comme alors. Near the Em peror's partyrode MarshelMagnan, the grand hunts man, on an immensely powerful horse, which seemed quite up to his great weight on the turf, though it might be a very different thing were the gallant marshal in Leicestershire. Gen. Ney, first huntsman, was also in close attendance on their Maje,ties. Behind came the other persons onhorse back, and last of all a number of chars-a-bane con taining such members of the Imperial party aslaved better to trust their limbs to steel springs and strong wheels than to the wild curvettings of some unruly steed. At first only the privileged persons were al lowedto pass along the wide alleys of the forest in the . immediate neighbourhood of the place of rendez vous ; but, afterwards, when the hunt stretched out in the distance,'all attempts at hindrance were useless, and when at last all advanced some few were fortunate to bit on a aide path, bringing them near, that the stag had taken. It was thought that the stag would make iat once for the Mare aux Bceufs, and then stand at bay ; and accordingly we all made for that point. But we learned that the animal had gone straight forward in the direction of the Carrefour of the Croix de Souvray. Thera we met with another disappointment, for one of the piqeurs informed us that the stag had made a detour, and doubled back towards the spot from which it started. It was then about 3 o'clock. The stag, on, approaching its lair, finding itself rather closely pressed by the dogs, again made for the fo rest at greater speed than previously, and put - both horses and riders on their mettle. At last the whole hunt became more or less dispersed, but as the ani mal had returned to its starting-place the greater number of the riders by degrees arrived at the Car refour St. Herem, and at 4 o'g - deck the Emperor and his pariymade their appearance in the distance. Prt , iently they drew nearer, and while the Empress the Grand Duke, and the Prince of Nassau con tinued the chase in the direction of the Croix du Grand Maitre, his Majesty came and gave an ac count to the persons assembled of what had taken place. The run, it seemed, had been a splendid one, and the stag was then to all appearance fr e sh er and stronger than at starting, and no one could say when the animal would be 'forced,' as the phrase is, or if that most desirable event would take place . at all. But to the heated crowd cf fashionables around, the stag was not at that moment of so much importance as a drink of wine and water. The day had become exceedingly warm , and the rendered any potable refreshment most desirable. Foi tunately a fourgon was near, and in a moment everyone was attacking the contents of a hamper filled with wine, and ariother containing beer. Again and again they drank, and to their parched lips the glass of wean wine and water seemed like nectar. At last the party turned their horses' heads towards the Palace, while the Emperor, accompanied by, Marshal Magnan, galloped off towards the Gorge aux Loups in the hope of falling in with the chase. The stag and dogs had, however, long dashed be yond that spot, and it was useless to think of going further on mete chance. Si) the Emperor returned to the Palace, where the Empress and her party had already arrived, at about 5 o'clock. At the moment that I write no one can say taat the stag has not been forced, but if so, the curee, or break ing-up of the animal, will take place to-night in the court of the Palace." MR. RUSSELL'S NARRATIVE OF THE WAR. On Thursday evening Mr. W. H. Russell delivered the second portion of his personal narrative of the Rae sian war at Willis's Rooms, King-street, St. James's. The appearance of Mr. Russel; upon the platform was the signal for loud applause. He took up the narrative at the point at which he concluded his last lecture—the victory of the Alma—remarking that it would be for the future historian to say whether it was the fault of the French or the English, or of both, that one of the greatest efforts of valour, and one of the noblest battles ever woe, had no consecutiveness and no result ; for instead of im mediately seizing upon Sebastopol they remained through a long Beige and a weary winter, feeling that the battle of the Alma had been all but fought in vain. The lecturer went on to describe the tediousness of the flank march to Balakiava, referring to symptoms of indispo sitiou he had felt after, crossing the river Katecha, which caused him to fall froso his pony, the only as sistance be received from Dr. Alexa der, who saw the plight he was in, being the advice to "rake care of him self. The sadness and melancholy of that march were dwelt upon with much force - by the lecturer—how souse hurried on by the wild impetus of war were obliged to leave a sickened comrade in some forest glade, with no prospect of seeing him again, and how sad it w. to see the wounded lying by the wayside, imploring aid, which none dare halt to give, because they knew that in the rear was the marauding Cossack, and that by doing so they would lobe all chance of pa r t a ki ng i n the coming glory. Baiaklava having been reached, it was then found that the delay which had taken place had given courage and vigour to the arms of the enemy. The difficulty of a landing our siege train at Bala.alriva was referred to, and the insignificance of our artillery and cavalry forces pointed out. It was so miserably oeficient that it would be a standing reproach to ourgene sale and officers of all the superior grades, that they bad the audacity to take Sebastopol with 73 pieces of arthisry. Mr. Russell then went on to describe the work of the trenches before Sebastopol—the unsuccessful result cf the first bombardment, remarking in somewhat pointed temp, upon the superiority of the English over the French army. The capture of the Turkish redoubts and the re treat of the Turks was then adverted to ; and the budden wheeling of our heavy cavalry to meet the advanctug enemy—the encounter and defeat of the imireree arm y by a force sot one this dof its strength—was vividly de picted. The scene at lukerman—being the concluding pram of the lecture —was dwelt upon with some em phasis ; the charge of Lord Cardigan and his cavalry band being described in the most graphic terms. It lued been said, by the French, that that charge was not war ; but it was war—war in its noblest form • which calls upon a man to disreg ard life and to sacrifice all that he holds dear, exce pt his honour and his country; and so lan history, has got a page in its volume, whatever way have been the errors of the commanders or the re criminations of the chiefs, the courage of the Engdeh soldiers who rode into that cavern of death would always be beld sacred in the heart of every Englishirtan. Mr. Russell was listened to throughout the delivery of his lecture, which occupied two hours and a half, with attention and interest, and at its couclusion was loudly applauded. 101 20 51 20 j 20 I all _ FOR: IGN. 1081 3811 1581 26 rj
