AND COMMERCIAL INT3LLIGENCF. CITY, Two o'CLooK. The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday elm d heavily, and the transactions we:e small and unim-• portant, without alteration. The sale 3 were -7,000 bales, 1,000 of which were taken for export. The Railway Share Market was very inanimate, having opened with a dull appearance, but towards the close of busin , ss a alight improvement was Manifested. From most of the chi-f manufacturing towns, the advices received this morning describe business as being exceedingly dull. At Manchester the operatives are acting with extreme caution owing t) the rather fluctuating state of the Liverpool Cotton Market. At Leeds the manufacturers are not working full time and the demand is quiet. Ope rations are also contracted owing to the I ondon Wool Sales which commence on the 30th inst., as it is uncertain what prices will be realised. It is generally thought, however, that late rates will be fully maint tined. The quantity that has arrived is about 56,000 bales, chiefly Australian. During the past week the pressure upon the money market was certainly less severe, the eleva tion of the Bank rate to M per cent, having check-d speculation as well as commercial engagements. On Thursday and Friday the demand suddenly in chased awing to the abstraction from the market of the means required to secure the gold brought by the Anglesea from Australia, and also t.) Pay for a large amount of stock which the job herd, had purchased. On Saturday there was renewed quietness, but to-day, as far as can he ascertained the market is extremely tight. Until the middle of next month no change for the bet`er can be expected; and even then it is questionable whether lower quotations will prevail. Prepara tions are being made for the mercantile paper fal ling due on the 4th proximo, and a few days after t hat period, the settlement of the Consol account will no doubt sustain the inquiry. T he specie movement is still a source of great anxiety to all interested in the progress of ni)netary affairs, and judging from present l udications, the drain of gold to the Continent, and of silver to the East, is likely to continue. Accord ing to the advices received via Trieste, the rates of exchange at Calcutta, Bombay, and Shanghai, re main unfavourable, so that the shipments on the 4th add 20th of the month may still be expected to be made to the average extent. To procure the neces sary supplies, remittances of gold to the Continent roust be effected, since the receipts from Mexico are quite inadequate. During the last few days about 35 ,000/. has been withdrawn from the Bank of Eng atlid, and the 1'95,4411. just received from Australia will no doubt follow. The advices from that colony will therefore be perused with great attention, as uPOn the steady importation, of gold will depend the maintenance of the present stock of bullion at the Bank of England. Last week the receipts of the precious metals were about 300,0001., and the exports 111,7741. A meeting of the South Australian Copper t hing Company was held this day to agree to t he sale of their mining property and all its appur tenances to the Strathalbyn Mining Company Oimited), and also for agreeing to the conditional co mpromise made in the case of Thompson v. Ar mitage. A meeting of the Strathalby n Mi n i ng uo nipany was also held at the same pl ace t o con sider the propriety of confirming the said condi tional agreement of Thompson v. Armitage. The • resolutions were passed unanimously. The Board of Trade returns for the month end '4g the 31st March have been issued to-day.

Most spring corn re alised extreme rates, and flour was held for more money. On the Continent, wheat has become rather firmer in price, but the transactions in it have continued limited. The markets in the West have ruled dull. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.) THE ROYAL BRITISH BANS.-EX&MINATION OF THII AUDITORS. To-day was appointed for the exAmination of the auditers,of tbe•bank. It was also appointed for hearing argumnents in support of the claims made by Mr. Ramsay for an order for the assignees to pay the divi dends on his proof for 7001., the dividends being re• tained en the ground that the shares on whilh the proof had been made were subject to the calls by the official manager, under the " Winding-up Act," anrthat made by the directors previously to the stoppage. That by Mr. Frorode was on the ground that he had been induced, by fraudulent misrepreentations to , ►ake up new shares in the bank. Dy the official list the meeting was appointel for 11 o'clock, hut as the meeting , on the proofs bad been adjourned the meeting did not take place till nearly half•past 12. The arrivals of EngEIJI- grain tip to our market, last week, were vary moderate. From abroad we received 6,549 quarters of wheat, 26,107 barley, 26,674 oats, 780 rye, 609 beans, 410 linseed; 1,333 rapeseed, 30 mustard seed, and 3 0 sacks of flour. • The quantity of English wheat received fresh up to-clay coastwise from Essex, Kent, &c., was very moderate. By land carriage "the receipts of that- grain were small. The show of samples was in fair condition, and r most de scriptions we had alair demand, at an improYement in the quotations, compared. with Monday last, of is per qr. We were fairly supplied with most kinds of foreign wheat, for which the inquiry. ruled steady. Selected samples realised an advance.of le. per quarter, compared with this day week. o.lfer qualities Were steady, but not dearer. Floating cargoes, on passage, iwer3 held on higher terms. Sear.mly any Engrsh barley is bete. Fine samples have ruled in favour of sellers, and other kinds have continued tolerably firm, although the iniports la,t week were large. Malt was in moderate supply and fair request, at full The show of oats was rather extensive, nevertheless, the oat trade was firm, at fully late rates. Thu.,: was a good demand for beans, at an advance in the quotations of is. per quarter. Pors changed hands steadily at is mnro money. We had a good demand for flour, and country marks were' fully is per 28)lbs. dearer. Mr. Li3klater then said be would proceed with the examination of 'Mr. Page, ope of the auilitor4. Mr. Page said, I am desirous of being examined, baiting been one of the auditors. I was appointed ore of the auditors of July, 1853, and audited them uu to Ju'y 29, 1856. Mr. Thos. Chandler was an auditor during the whole of the time, and I believe before. Mr. Crawford, on the first occasion, banded a document which contained a detailed account. Mr. Crawford was the chief accountant of the back. He referred to the general ledger for the total, but chiefly to item p‘linted out by him. He (?Tr. Page) did not consider it was heir duty to ascertain the value of the securities held, but he did object to signing a certificate. That all the ittrris Of the balance sheet had not been gone into. Would onlysign one, that an abstract balance-sheet, and relative accounts bad been placed before them, but he never entertained a doubt but that the securities would realise what they were represented at.

Notwithstanding that the show' of English and Scotch beasts was seasonably good, and in fair average condition, the demand for all kinds, owing in a great_ measure to the prevailing cold weather, ruled tolerably firm, and last Monday's currency was supported. The best Scots sold at from 4s 101 to 5s per 81b, and, prior to the close of busi ness, a fair clearance bad been effected. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, 'we received 2,350 Scots and short-horns; from other parts of Ireland, 350 of various breeds ; from Scotland, 480 Scots; and from Ireland, 140 oxen, via Liverpool. The numbers of sheep in the market were only moderate for the time of year, but their general quality was prime. Compared with Monday last, there was much less activity in the mutton trade, and, in some instances, prices were a shade lower. The general top quotation for the best Downs in the wool was 6s; but a few very superior lots realised 6s 2d per 81b. Downs, out of the wool, sold at 101 per 81b beneath those rates. Lambs were in fair average supply, and heavy request, at a decline in prices, compared with this day se'nuight, of 4d per Kb. The top price was Gs 8d per 81b. About 400 came to hand from the Isle of Wight. The show of calves was only moderate, yet the veal trade ruled heavy, and the quotations were fully 4d per 81b lower than on Monday last. In pigs very little was doing, at late rates. Per Bibs to sink the offal!.

On visi'ing the armoury on the previous day, he did not at first notice the guns brought from Sebastopol, as the precaution had been taken of turning them some what out of sight, but on his examining them more closely, he found that tt ey had belonged to Russia. Those are trophies of vi , :tory?' he asked one of the functionaries who accompa nied him. 'Yes, Prince,' replied the latter; but I can show you something by wAy of a set off,' pointing to a number of French guns, which had been rendered unfit for further service by the Russian shot. 'Ah !' said the Gte , nd Duke, 'that is what you call a set off, is it I Perhaps it is sufficient for you by way of courtesy, but I —. However, I accept it, such as it is,' edded he smiling. During the same visit he . pointed out a dozen firearms, which he expressed a wish to exa mine more cl , sely, and they were Fen t to the maritime prefecture in the evening. The Prince has de ()lined having any attendance of troops or illu minations, or visits from the different bodies. ' have come,' he said, to perfe,t mys4f in naval affairs ; I have much - to learn, and it is better for me to occupy the short time which remains at my disposal in a serious examination of what may be useful than in vain ceremonies.' The Prince mak , s all his excursions as a private individual, and without disarranging any one. He passed nearly the whole of to-day in visit'ng the Arsenal, the extent of which is greater than the town of T,.ulon, a'though the latter contains 75,000 in habitants. His Imperial Highness expressed his admiration at the order and regularity which pre vailed in every part of the gigantic establishment. The immense fountain, horn whence all the ship ping in the harbour supply themselves with water, particularly struck' his attention. The Prince paid a second visit to the armoury to-day ; but be fore his visit, orders had been given to hide from view the great bell which had beer, brought from Sebastopol. Seeing some large objee, . however, covered over with a tarpaulin, the Prance asked what it was, and on observing some little hesitation on the part of the person to whom he addressed the question, he himself raised the covering, and, see ing what it was, gave a melancholy smile, and said, ' I will not look at that at present, Lut will return another day.' " EARL FITIXARDINSE.—.We regret to state that Berl Fitzhardinge, who we lately reported had met with an accident while hunting in the Berkeley country, is still labouring under severe illness. The nob'e earl is unable to take nourishing food, and fears are entertained with regard to his ultimate recovery. ELECTIONS FOB CONVOCATION.—The Rev. Dr. Jere mie, the sub-dean of Lincoln, has been elected proctor to represent the dean and chapter in convocation ; and the Rev. Mr. Maaingberd, and the Rev. Mr. Mackenzie to represent the diocese. THE AMERICAN MAILS.—LIVEXPOOL, Saturday.— The British and North American royal magi steamship Europa, Captain Robert Leitch, sailed from the Mersey at 11 o'clock this forenoon, for Halifax and Boston, with the usual math for the United States and British North American possessions, 140 passengers, and a full cargo of m.rchandise on freight. COLLIERS' STRIKE.—The works of the Cwmsyton Coal Company, Monmouthshire, have been brought to a stand still ; in consequence of the hands there employed having turned out on strike, and having either so far enlisted the sympathies of, or intimi.iated, the workmen employed by the company with a view to supplyiog their places, as to prevent them from working. THE EXHIBITION OF DESIGNS IN WESTMINSTER HALL.--The plans for the new Government offices which have been sent in by competitors from all nations, will be thrown open for public inspection in Weettninster Hall, on Monday, May 3. There will be a private view for members of the Houses of Lords and Commons on Monday next, May 1. Most of the designs provide for the erection of Westminster-bridge considerably eastward of its present site. The names of the judges with whom the fetal selection will rest have nut 3et been announced. The United Service Gagette announces that a very im portant step has been taken towards the promotion of education in the army.. A "Board of RlE:cation" has been formed, at the head of which is the Commander-in- Chief (ex °Pio), with Major General Comer 42nd, for vice-president, and Colonels Porth.ck, R.E., and Ad dison, Assistant Quartermaster General, for niembere, Everything in relation to the suitable preparation of officers for first commissions and later ad yaietement be under the government of this board. The examina tions will no longer be conducted at Sandhurst, but by competent professors, holding their appointments tem porarily, as recommended by the commissioners who lately returned front the Continent. DETERMINED SUICIDE IN TUB REGENT'S CANAL. — Yesterday afternoon, aholt half-past 2 o'c , ock, an alarm was raised that a min had mounted the parapet of the bridge at Islington, a d plunged into the Regent', Car , al. A number of persons hastened to rescue li:rn, but he had sunk. The drags having been procured, the body was (after some time had elapsed), recovered, when life was found to be extinct. Some individuals r,cognised it as that of a man named E {ward Jackson, living in the Lower us& It appeared that a feina!e to whom he had been paying his addrel,ses bad yesterday married another, and it is supposed the mortielcation drove him to the commission of the rash ant, as he appeared quite in a frer.a y. ARRIVaL FROM MELBOURNE.—The Anglesea, with gold, from Melbourne, which landed passengers at Ply mouth on Thursday, experienced baffling winds in the Channel.

SPORTING NOTES. THE TWO THOUSAND. Vedette's lame ! Such is the assertion of every other person one meets in Newmarket. The same was said of Fazzoletto last, so I do not attach much credit to the report. Alticroft teas engaged to ride Vedette, but now it is asserted that Lord Glasgow bas determined to run one of his " duffers," and to claim the services of Ald croft. My confidence in Vedette is not, however, shaken ; that he will run well and honestly I ails fully convinced. He did work enough this morning to satisfy his backers. Tnat he walked somewhat giogetly when h e was first brought out I readily admit, but when he took a rousing gallop with Lord of the Hills his alleged lameness wai • int apparent. Between Vedette and Kent I see a " divided duty." lam " fond " of Vedette on account of Skirmisher's running, and I am partial to Kent on account of his (Kent's) good looks. Were I a professed betting man, I do not think I should know how to choose between the two horses. Kent beat Schiedam easily enough, but it is also asserted that Drumour beat Schiedam in private even more easily. Mr. Howard, however, has not yet arrived at the end of the long lane of ill luck, and will, I am afraid, be compelled to wait later in the season before he finds a turning. The movements with regard to Loyola and Beeswax Colt I do not pretend to understand, but I shall not be surprised to see Loyola resume his old price in the bet ting. I will at once boldly assert my opinion that I deem Loyola's Clearwe!l running a mimtake. I certainly shall not be " tickled with the straw " of Lord Clifden. Anton is said to be vastly improved in his two-year old form, and so he ought to be to justify the large outlays which have been made in his favour. Sydney bas been described to me as a mean-looking devil, and I am inclined to regard his reported trial with Ellington and Tester as unworthy of consideration. Of the out siders, my only fancy is for TCREIT and LAMBOIIIIIIB, but the winner will, I expect, be either A dozen of toes° wonderful Por , raits have now made their appearance. And they appear, by their marvellous beauty as works of Art, and stilt more by their marvellous truthfulness and exactitude as copies of Nature, to demand from us some more than usually emphatic expression of our very sin cere and unaffected admiration. It is their meed. It is their They are—we repeat—wonderful. They are literally like Shadows in the Glass cf Twelve of our "Living. Celebrities." The actual reflections of the bodily appearance of these twelve eminent rut n— o a line, to a shade, to a hair. In teresting now that they are still moving and breathing among us. How interesting when, in th e course of nature, they shill have passed away —and their effigies shall be scanned by posterity, and not merely by t h e i r cantemporwies ! Nancy looking over a collection of Mann and Polyblank Photographs of the age, not of Viet-ria, but of Anne or Eliz efeth. Examining in succes sion shadows in the glass " from the very life," of pale little lameter Pope ; of re-wigged and be scented Congreve ; of Swift, with a face all a-flame with passion a..d genius; and Addison, with his flushed more by wine thrill by emot on ! Or better still, turtling over prints taken by the sunbeam, irons tt_ie actually " refieete 1 features" of burly Ben; of bearded Raleigh, with his cap a- wry and a feather in it ;of Baco looking wisdom out of his astute eyes ; of Sidney, the smooth-checked hero of the boudoir and the tattle-field ; and "best leautiful "of all, the glorious c iuntenance, the veritable eyes, brow, mouth, mou,tache, even the dimple of laughter near the lies of handsome Will Sliakspei - e ! Fancy that. Nell—after times may 10.,k back to soiree of these faces with a kindred interel as to fiithful limnings of men eminent in their way in the Age of Victoria. We don't pay any one of these gentle men the preposterous compliment of likening them iu any way to Popes or Shakeperes. But we do assert that these photographic portraits of them are deeply and peculiarly interesting now that they themselves are " Living Celebrities," and that they will be still snore wonderfully interesting when in the course of events they shall, alas ! have b , come every one of them "Dead Celebrities !" They havo already done their best thernselve3 to immortalise their " Names." The Messrs. Maull and Poly-- blank have now in tern dons their best to perpe tuate their "Features." How attractive (even during their lifeome) the acres has been rendered by the very diversity of the collection, the subjects chosen for it sufficiently indicate in the mere enu meration. Here is the envier of his time—Pro fessor Richard Owen, a pn-fect master of Anatomy. Here is Babington Macaulay, the Tacitus and Gib l'on of uur generation. Here is England's, the World's Engineer Robert Stephenson. Hero John Ro,buck, the "Dissenting Minister " of the House of Commons. Here is Edward Baily, the Sculptor of Eve, who through that Eve has given us a glimpse of Paradise. Here is Samuel Warren, the Watcher by the Deathbed in that weird " Diary of a Physician"—the keen and caustic Satirist of ' Tea Thousand aYe Ir." Here is the learned Master of the Mint, Professor Gra ham. Here Edward Ward, one of the most youthful, one of the most gifted, and one of the most popular of our Royal Academicians. Here is the wise and witty Lord Chief Justice of England, John Lord Cituipbit. Here George Cruiksuank, the Hogarth of the Etching Needle, the Prince of Caricaturist. Here (the latest of these all but miraculous sun pictur,s) Rowland Hill, the Author of the Penny Postage, 'and, therefore as such, Everybody's Benefactor. Twelve undoubted "Living Celebri ties." The very men themselves looking out upon us vividly and life-like from the paper under our hand—as vividly as they might look in upon ua from the threshold—framed in the doorway. We long to see added to the list of " Living Celebri ties " in this really exquisite collection of Photo graphic Portraits—great names like those, for ex ample of Charles Dickens, and Bulwer Lytton, and. Alfred Tennyson, and Henry Brougham, and Wrlliam Thackeray. We await their appearance— and while doing so, we wish cordial success to the enterprise, the ingenious and remarkable enterprise of the Messrs. Maull and Poly blank. KENT OR VEDErTE. The tlwn is filling rapidly, and people are posting front Huntingdon and Cambridge in such rapid suc cession as to remind the old inhabitants of the good old days before railways were not. The weather as I write is bitterly cold, but the interesting week's racing in store tenders us indifferent to the skiey influences. I shall perhaps have time to touch upon the One Thousand in my " Notes " on Wednesday. At present I can only tender my unconditional allegiance to Blink Bonny. A FRESH MAN.

LIVING CELEBRITIES. PHOTO6IISPITED BY MESSRS. MAULL AND POLY- BLANK. Nos. I TO XII. LITERATURE. The Fortunes of Glencore. By Charlo3 Lover. 3 vols. Chapman and Hall. Those who have occasionally met with this story as it periodically appeared will, no doubt, be pleased to find it here presented to them in a concise form, while those unacquainted with it previously will meet with a worthy subject for perusal. A consi derable amount of skill and ingenuity are displayed in its construction. The scene varies from country to country—from the wilds of Glencore to the Cascine of Florence. The personages brought for ward are also strangely contrasted, from the eccen tric Lord of Glencore himself to the peculiar, though widely different, Billy Traynor. It is a. question whether this latter individual is not the best character in the work. After the meanness the mitt, the subtility, and circumvention which. meet the eye at every turn, and arrest the step at every tread, in the mazes of diplomatic labyrinths, and the mysteries of political intrigues, it is refresh ing to encounter one impervious to their influence, to recognise amid the quintessence of art ()Lea " Rough Nature's children humorous as sht!."' Glencore's two friends, Sir Horace Upton and Colonel Harcourt, are again two specimens of the opposing points from which two men will view the same thing. The narrative is complicated, and the chief event is a painful one, indeed the story is of the powerful more than the pleasing kaid. The thirst for revenge which excited so strongly both the unhappy recluse and his unfortunate wife suffi ciently accounts for any degree of misery that arose. When she was carried away by passion to such a degree that she preferred her husband to believe her guilty, rather than by proclaiming her innocence remove the sting from his path, while he, goaded to madness by his tortures, resolved on the extreme act of disowning his marriage, and ruining his son's prospects ; it is a necessary consequence that their careers must be recorded as the night side of na ture. The numerous minor details of the intricacies of foreign courts, and home management, impart an agreeable variety to the plot, and there is great interest awakened by the sorrowful position of the young heir of Glencore,whu is sent out in the wod worse than an orphan. His adventures engage at tent,ion, he possessed too much of his father's proud reserve and sullen discontent, to have been happy under any circumstances ; but in the cruel isola tion in which he found himself, his susceptibility made him morbid, and his pensive tendeucy was reduced to despair. The Countess is an imperson ation of an Italian climate, with the bonds of a glittering slavery she replaced the dissevered ties of home. The inward satisfaction that others woul have felt, from a consciousness of innocence, she derived from the supposition of guilt being attached to her name. As for feeling pity for either Lord or Lady Glencore it is out of the queStion, the sent - ment is reserved for the unofrending, on whom wero visited the sins of his parents. It is amusing t note the self-sufficiency of Upton as he moves along the tortuous path in which he delights. The plea sure of gaining his end would be marred, if the de sire was obtained in a straight or simple way. After such disclosures of human pride and passions, a. 3 are here pourtrayed, to be at all in unison wits one's ideas of consistency, the end must be sad. The last heir of the fallen house is left a wanderer Leyond the seas, and the faithful adherent to hi; evil fortunes has waited for his return till his lite has been extended beyond the limits of mortalit j . He has waited in vain, h o wever, for time, that hu brought round the changing seasons in unchanging has not reconstructed "the pitch er b ro k en or reinstated the fall en "F or t unes o f Gl an core." ator order, font," The p!incipal part s i n t h e per f ormance o f t h e " Elijah, with Which the season of the Royal Surrey Gardens opens on the 11th of next month, will be taken by Miss LoiUsa, Vining, Madams Weiss, Miss Daiby, Mr. Weiss, and Mr. Sims Reeves, assisted by a band and chorus of 1.000 perforters. SIIIPINILDING AT PP.ESTe5N.—There were launched ca Saturday, from the yard of Mes4rs. A. Nle and iron shipbuilders, a sailing ship and a screw plea;ui e yacht. The former belongs to Messsrs. Blythe aLd Troughton, Liverpool merchant+, is 400 tons register, and is capable of carrying between 600 and 700 tons. These are the first iron vessels that have been launched at Preston. Mr. Gye announces the return of Mdme. Ristori to the Lyceum in June. The renowned Italian tragedienne, whose success in Paris shows no symptoms of decrease, will appear this season in the Dew drama written ex pressly for her by the distiuguiehed poet and patriot, Montanelli, and in an Italian version of "Macbeth." LADY FRANKLIN'S ARCTIC EXPEDITION. Lady Franklin has effected the purchase of a steam yacht al- Durably adapted for the requisite Arctic service, and the eminent and experienced Arctic voyager and exploit r, Captain M'Clintock, has accepted the command of the expedition. These facts abundantly show that Lady Franklin is as earnest in her intention of carrying oat the great duty which has devo!ved on her. ST. MARK'S llosr:Tah. — On Saturday evening the anniversary festival of this excellent and much-needed institution was celebrated at the London Tavern, under the presidency of Mr. Alderman Copeland, M.P. About 150 gentlemen sat down to a capital dinner. The usual formal and complimentary toasts baying been givers and duly responded to, the chairman briefly gave the toast of the evening, Advocating the claims of the hospi tal with much force and eloquence.
