MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCF. CITY, Two o'CLocK. Account , ' from Liverpool state that the Cotton Market on Saturday closed wish an upward ten dency, at extreme rates for all descriptions, and Brazil and Egypt;ans were 0. per lb. dearer. The sales amounted to 9,000 bales, 500 of which were taken for export, and 1,500 on Sf eculation. The Railway Share Market was steady, but no particu lar alteration in prices occurred. The general business of the port of London last week was rather quiet. At the Custom House 198 vessels wore reported from foreign parts, 3 from Ireland, and there were 266 colliers. The entries outwards were 126 and the clearances 114 vessels, besides 29 in ballast. A largo arrival of specie is announced from America to-day, viz , 455,0001., and as the ex change at New York on London has risen, it is ex. petted that these imports wilt henceforth continue on a large scale. If we obtain a million and a half ! to two millions sterling per month from this source, the evil effect of the Eastern drain will be greatly mitigated. Betweroi 300,000/. and 500,0001. is now considered due from • Australia, so that our specie supplies are likely to keep pace with our ex ports :—an important fact in considering the future monetary prospects of the country. At a meeting of the Australian Auxiliary Steam Clipper Company on Saturday, a favourable report was adopted, but at the recommendation of the board, the consideration of a dividend was post poned, in order to await the results of the voyages : of three of the company's ships now at sea. 1 Since Thursday last, when the directors of the Bank lowered the rate of discount, the inquiry for money, in all departments has been very much ' contracted, traders and others apparently having limited their demands as much as possible, probably in the hope of the minimum being still further re- k duced before long. In a few days, however, the applications for discounts will no doubt increase owing to the preparations that must then be made . 5 - for the approaching " fo urth" of the month, but if 22 an opinion of the future may be formed from pre- E sent indications a recurrence of pressure is not likely to take place, the supply of capital being large. There is still an absence of speculation, and business in all branches being quiet, there is sure to be ex- 5 tended employment for money whenever a revival 12 ensues, and this contingency, together with the fact that many persons having deposits at call with 5 joint stock and other establishm ents, ma y withdraw them if the minimum further declines, must never- E theless tend to prevent a return to a low rate for a 5 long time to come. Besides, we may expect the introduction of numerous joint-stock schemes, and although encouragement may not be given to all, a few will no doubt succeed, and thus divert capital from the market, where its accumulation, 2 with a view to cheapen mo ne y , is required. g The promoters of the Grand Russian Railway S scheme may also make another attempt to 7 float the shares, and the exigencies of the Turkish tre sury may render it necessary for the Porte to take new measures for the establishment of the proposed National bank. Again, the directors of S many joint stock companies at home, al- 2 though in want of means to carry out 1 1 the objects originallycontempla ted, havin g hitherto 5 refrained from making calls, while the market s was so stringent, will come forward at the first 1 - favourable opportunity. Thus, it is clear that s there are many obstacles in the way of a rapid 1 restoration of ease. 2 During the past week the imports of specie were 2 about 681,7001., and and the exports, so far as they can be ascertained, about 1,370,000/. 2 At the commencement of business this morning 2 the English Funds appeared buoyant, at the quo tations current on Saturday afternoon, and an im provement was generally ex p ected, p artl y in conse- 22 quence of the large specie remittan ees from America. 2 Soon afterwards, however, a large speculative sale said to amount to 100 , 0001 . produced 21 a slight reaction, and the market has since been rather flat. Consols for account have been 93,1 and 931 1, but they are now stronger, viz., • 2 93k g. The New 3 per Cents. are 92i 93, and the Reduced 92-1 to 93. Bank Stock is 2121 to 214. Exchequer Bills are 3s. discount to par, the Bonds 98a, and India Bonds under 1,0001. 7s. to 3a. dis. For Foreign Stocks there is a quiet market, and R I prices remain steady. Turkish 6 per Cents. have been 96?,- *, and the 4 per Cents. 101-,1 j. Russian 41- per Cents. realised 99 to 99k.

The Foreign and Colo- IA nial lines were dealt in to a very limited extent, and quotations are almost nominal. Great Luxem bourg brought previous rates, as also Grand Trunk and Great Western of Canada, East Indian Gua ranted Shares have improved about 55., and Madras about ss: Iu Mining Shares only one transaction has been I - reported, viz., Great Wheal Yor, which have ad vanced to 4. Joint Stock Bank Shares are dealt in to a li mited extent. Bank of Australasia improved about lOs. ; London Chartered of Australia, ss. ; and South Australia, ss. ; Union of London de clined ss. In the Miscellaneous Shares there is no change to report. Peninsular and Oriental Steam arc quoted 672 ex-dividend. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (Irom the Official List:) Business done.

Consols for Account 934 i INQUEST ON Sin JAMES EYRE —On Saturday Mr.W. J. Payne held an inquest at the Bowyer Hotel, Clapham, on the body of Sir J. Eyre, Knight, physician, aged 67. It appeared that the deceased and his lady were staying at the residence of Mr. Scholey, Lauriston House, Lark hallrise, Clapham, on a visit. On Thursday he had at tended the Queen's levee, and sat up playing at whist till a quarter to 1 o'clock on Friday morning, when he remarked, " I think it is ti me t o l eave o ff playing cards,'' and went up to bed, his lady having preceded him. ?le was in no way excited, but was in his usual health. About 5 o'clock the same morning Lady Eyre's bell rang, and on the servant going up deceased was found in the bed by her side dead. Mr. It. C. Parrott, surgeon, of Clapham, who was one of the whist party, expressed his conviction that death had resulted from some vessel of the brain having given way. Verdict, natural death. The audit of the accounts of the Agra and United Service Bank, taken on behalf of the new directors who have recently joined the bank on the establishment of its headquarters in London, has been completed under the supervision of a professional accountant, and is stated to have been of the most complete description. RoCIIDALE ELECTION.—This committee met on Satur ;y, when a discussion ensued as to whether strangers ; gould be allowed to be present at its proceedings, and it twas ultimately decided in the negative.

SPORTING NOTES. Paid; I'♦ LWA TS. Leasing Companies Closing Prices Saturday. Business this day CORN EXCHANGE. The leading country markers held on Saturday were fairly supplied with wheat, and the trade ruled steady, on rather higher terms. There was a fair inquiry for barley, at full quotation.. Oats, beans, and peas commanded extreme rates. Flour was rather dearer. The continental markets have been firm of late, and the value of wheat has had an upward tendency. From the United States we learn that the value of wheat and flour has fluctuated. The supplies of English grain received up to our market last week were very moderate. From abroad we ready , d 16'483 quarters of wheat, 7,053 barley, 41,531 oats, 1,008 rye, 400 be:ins, 4,297 peas, 50 linseed, 1,650 rapeseed, 180 sacks and 841 brls. of flour. Fresh up, to-day, the arrivals of English wheat, coast wise and by land carriage, w ere on a very limited scale ; hence, as a good clearance of the stands was effected on Friday last, the show of samples was small. For all kinds we had a steady, though not to say brisk, demand, at prices fully equal to those realised on Monday last. The general condition of the samples was, comparatively speaking, tolerably good. We were well supplied with nearly all kinds of foreign wheat. Holders, generally, demanded higher rates, and the trade was thereby checked. however, last week's quotations were supported in every instance. Floating cargoes of grain were very firm, but not dearer. Scarcely any English barley was on offer ; and the sup ply of foreign was only moderate. The trade riled firm, at full quotations. There was only a limited inquiry for malt, on former terms. Good ground oats sold steadily, and prices were a shale higher. lufei ior qualities, which formed the bulk of the supply, sold at late rates. Beaus were in short supply, and fair request, at full prices. Peas sold to a fair extent, on former terms. The flour trade was in a healthy state, arid Norfolk qua lities were held up to 48s per 2Solbs. American flour was rather dearer. NOTIONS ABOUT NEWCASTLE. The racing last week was marked by incidents of more than temporary interest. The unexpected merit dis played by Good Friday, at Hampton, redeemed the sport on the Hurst from utter insignificance, and indeed many of the competitors possessed something more than that "thistle cropping" character which on former years attached t•o the "performers." Good Friday was, it will be remembered,. once heavily backed for the Chester Cup,' and recently, on the strength of a more satisfactory trial, he was made a prominent fa vourite for the Royal Hunt Cup. Fur that event and also in a subsequent race at Ascot, he " cut up" wretch edly, and John Scott was not a little puzzled to account for tho horse's inglorious exhibition , . The secret was discovered at Hampton. Good Friday evidently has a nasty temper and a great dislike to a crowd. He there• fora ran iu " blinkers." His first race be won " run ning away," and was afterwards sold by auction to Mr. John Barnard for 205 guineas. He started again for the Queen's Plate, which he also won with "ridiculous ease," and as his now owner backed him f,r a "pony," be had the great luck to obtain a good horse for nothing l Mr. Jackson W 33 in immense force with his " Buckthorn's" at Newton, and made a purchase wnich may one day be profitable. He gave 1,5001, for Mon grel who seems a "glutton" at a distance, and who if he had incurred no penalty would have been a very for midable opponent to Skirmisher at Newcastle. Joh n Osborne seems to have over estimated the racing merit of his filly Intercidona, who has thrice disappuinted him. A large meeting will take pines at Newcastle to morrow and the three following days, and despite the long and tedious journey it possesses sufficient attrac tion to draw off many southern turfites from the plea sant gatherings in Hampshire. The list of sport cresents quite a formidable array of entries and weights, and there are so many "in and in" engagements that I am not a little puzzled hew to deal with the proba lities. I shall couple "Mr. Henderson's" representa tive, either Assayer or Logie o' Buchan, with Manga nese, to do battle for me for The Member's Plate. The colt by Buckthorn out of Captious is the most attractive name amongst the nominations for the Tyro Stakes. Should Vedette be recovered from Buckghamsh. ;Clyde '.ale Je. ,Col.Stour \ .

The clevez but usually not very imaginative men of Manchester are now, and have . been for Foaae years 'hick, as it appears to us, in a state of un called for alarm about the supply of cotton wool. They are, at present, as they have been for the 1 Lst half cen'ury, dependent on one country, Angld- Saxon Aiderica, for six-sevenths of their whole supply, and suddenly come to the c:inclusion that it is to feil.them. They have just published a pam phlet, entitled the "Cotton Crisis and How to avert it," and one of them, the lion. member for Stockporr, lately read before the Society of Arts a long and elaborate pwier on the same subject. Moreover, the question is to be brought. formally before the C.)mmons ou Tuesday next. Our own opinion, and not for the first time expressed, is that there is no "Cotton Crisis" at all, and that if there were, the means proposed for averting it are mistaken ones. We proceed at once, then, with our refutation of the mistakes of Manchester. In every one of the last seven years, during which the long Manchester paroxysm has existed, there has been a large increase in our importation of cotton. In 1850 the import amounted to 663, 576, 8511 b. and in 1856 it rose to 1,023,886,5281 b. an increase, in this brief period, of above one-half. In 1850, Anglo-Saxon America furnished, of the above supply, 493,153,1121 b. and this had risen in 1856 to 780,040,0161 h., an increase of fifty-eight per cent., whereas the increase of the supply from all other quarters was but fifty-four per cent. In 1854 the value of the raw cotton which we im ported, as given in the public returns, was 20,175, 3951., and in 1856 it had risen to 26,434,695/. The seven years now- alluded to were those of the gold discoveries of California and Australia, which gave so wonderful an impetus to the indus try of the civilis.el world. Such, in this period, has been the increased power of general consump tion, that prices 'have greatly risen in every com modity in which the supply did not quickly respond to the demand, such as hemp, flax, dyes, tea, coffee, spices, tin, and copper. On the other hand, there has been no rise of price, but in a few cases even a fall, in commodities in which the supply readily met the demand, as in iron sugar, and sheep's woool. In this last category stands cotton wool, in which there has been a fall of some five per cent. We derive our supplies of cotton from six dif ferent quarters, extending over above fifty degrees of latitude of the old and new world. Let this be compared with our supplies of similar commodi ties. Our supplies of sheep's-wool come from about the same number of quarters, exclusive of our home supply. Of this article our imports in 1850 were 74,326,778 lb. and these had risen in 1856 to 116,211,395 lb. or an increase of 57 per cent., notwithstanding a fall of some twenty per cent. in price. We receive our supply of raw silk from about the same number of quarters as our supplies of cotton and sheep's-wool, and owing to a . disease in the worm in the chief supplying countries, we were, for the last two years threatened with a short supply ; but China, the parent coun try of silk, steps in to meet our wants, and the im ports which in 1850 amounted only to 5,411,9341 b. had risen in 1856 to 8,236,6871 b. Such examples as these, we should think, are calculated to allay the fears of Manchester, but we shall give one more. Our whole supply of tea is virtually derived from one country only,—that, too, one of the most populous in the world, And distant 15,000 miles. The import has risen from the two pounds and two ounces presented to King Charles the Second in 1664, not worth intrinsically sixteen sixpences, to 86,159,5171 b. valued in the public returns at 5,246,4591., and this without enhancement of price but on the contrary a great fall. As we have already said, sixesevenths of all our raw cotton, in quantity, is derived from Anglo- Saxon America, and far more than that in value. Without that supply (the produce, every pound of it, of slave labour) the greatest of our manufactures would inevitably become one of the smallest. It is this state of things, perilous, however, only in imagination, that has aroused the fears of the shrewd men of Manchester. The hypothetical con tingencies on which they ground their apprehen sions are various, and we shall state and answer a few of them. " The demand may outgrow the supply." We have already shown that the supply from America has not only kept pace with the demand, but even gone ahead of it, and we now add that by more skilful husbandry, and pushing the cultivation to climates more congenial to the plant, the price has, within the last 50 years, been reduced from 22d. a poand to 6d. " There may occur a failure of crop from a storm, a drought, or a mysterious epidemic like the potato rot." Any of these cala mities are possible, but highly improbable. The cotton plant has been cultivated for 70 long years in the United States, and none of them have oc curred, and are now less likely to occur than in the earlier time of the cultivation, since, instead of being confined to a small northern and uncongenial locality, as it originally was, it now extends in a southern direction over ten genial degrees of lati tude. "The slaves may be emancipated." We hope, for the honour of America and credit of hu manity, that they may ; but when emancipated, they must labour to live, and in the labour in which they will be employed they will enjoy a monopoly, since it is such as no European can engage in. "If not emancipated, they will emancipate themselves." Four millions of miserable men of an inferior race are not very likely to free themselves from the bon dage of 21 millions of a superior race, the most' energetic that the world has ever seen. But then, it is added, "We may be at war with the American Union, and in this case the Americans hold a rod with which they may beat us to death, that rod being a denial of their cotton." We have been at peace with America for 40 years, and every year the prospect of a war becomes less and less. How comes it not to have occurred to our usually acute opponents that two can play at the game of mischief of which they are so appre hensive ? If the Americans have a rod for us in the refusal of a supply of cotton, do we not possess 1 a scourge no less formidable for them by refusing them a market for it '1 In 1855, the sum which we paid to the Americans for cotton was 16,863,228 1 . Last year it would exceed 20,000,0001. ; and some thing like thi., to say nothing of the worth of corn, tobacco, and other trifles, is about the amount of the penalty-bonds in which England and America are bound to keep the peace towards each other, to say nothing of broken crowns, war taxes, debt, and bankruptcies. But now we come to the Manchester means for averting the imaginary crisis. It consists in sub s'ituting cotton, the produce of British India, for that of Anglo-Saxon America. India does supply England with a considerable quantity of the worst cotton which it receives from any quarter, and the quanity has been largely increased for some years, without any improvement whatever in the quality. In 1842 the quantity was only 92,972,6091b5., and this had increased in 1856 to 180,496,6241b5., an increase of ninety-four per cent. in fourteen years' time, a proportion which exceeds that of America itself within the same time. Not so the quality ; the Indian cotton always stands at the bottom of a long list of quotations, and the valuation of the Board of Trade makes it forty per cent. less valu able than the average of all other cottons. It forms, in fact, between one-fourth and one-fifth in quan- . tity, and between one-seventh and one-eighth in value of the American cotton. Four-and-forty years of free trade that have improved several other pro ducts of India and called new ones into existence, haveenacle no improvement in Indian cotton, but all this is to he suddenly changed, because some men of the " City of Industry," frightened out of their wits, will have it so ! Every part of India is within the region in which the cotton plant flourishes, and every part of India produces it, but the districts which yield a surplus are only the scantily peopled, and these are to be found here and there between the Tropic and Cape Comorin. The whole valley of the Ganges, with its dense population, produces an immense qua_ n n tity of cotton, but no surplus for exportation. On the contrary, it has been an imp orter frome under-peopled countries of the s outh for a centuryth back. Its population having greatly increased within the last fifty years , t he result has been that it has oven ceased to export rice, its staple pro duct ; for although we see this artiele yearly im ported into England from India,in 1855, to the value of 1,576,0001., it is not the produce of popu lous Bengal, but of fer tile Aracan and Pegu, coun tries with from fifteen to twenty-five inhabitants to the square mile, instead of from 300 to 500 as in the valley of the Gauges. Even the more populous of the provinces of the south yield no cotton surplus. Thus Tanjore, with 450 inhabitants to the square mile, does not produce a pile for exportation, but, on the contrary, is itself an importer from its less densely peopled neighbours. The cotton provinces which yield a. surplus contain usually from 80 to 150 inlaahi ta-nte to the square mile, and when these come to be , densely peopled they will cease to yield one, for they will, like Bengal, themselves consume all they produce. No populous country of Asia exports co tton. The island of Java, where it is an univer sal. object of cultivation, does not export a pound, b ecause it has 10,000,000 of native consumers, or Bowe 250 to every square mile. Populous China is an importer from every country that will s upply i 4; and underpeopled southern India is one of them. The native cotton of India (all foreign varieties Lave substantially failed) is short in the fibre, but still more objectionable from always containing a large per ceutage o f sheer dirt it is, in fact, a rude commodity, and such .was the case with every LIVERPOOL JULY MEETING.

The arrivals of beasts, fresh up from our own grazing districts, were seasonably large, and mostly in prime con dition, especially as the Norfolk season is now just draw ing to a close. The aggregat3 supply being considerably in excess of the wants of the butchers, demand for all breeds of beasts ruled heavy in the extreme, at a decline in the quotations, compared with Monday last, of 4d. per 81134 ' and a total clearance was not affected. The general top figure for Scots did not exceed 4s. lid, per 81bs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 2,500 Scots and short horns ; from other parts of England, 350 of various breeds; from Scotland, 120 Scots ; and from Ireland, 11 oxen. We were heavily supplied with all breeds of sheep, and, with some exceptions, their quality was good. The trade generally 19C9 in a depressed state; and, compared with this day se'nnight, prices gave way from 2d. to 4d. per 81133. A few very superior Downs may have produced a trifle over our top figure; but the general price for them was not more than 4s. Bd. per 81bs. West country Downs realised aboat 4s. 6d. per 81bs., and several lots of sheep were turned out unsold. Lambs. Calves.

EOROTIGII AND SPITALFIELDS. As the season for old potatoes is now fast drawing to a close, the trade has become extremely heavy, and it is very difficult to quote prices accurately. The arrivals are seasonably extensive, but in wretched condition. The top prices may be called nominally from 100 s to 130 s per ton. Very inferior parcels have sold as low as 20s. per ton. Last week's imports were 86 bags from Ostend, 100 tons from Antwerp, 16 baskets from Jersey, 175 baskets from Rotterdam, and CO sacks from Schiedam. BOROUGH HOP. Although the accounts from the plantations are not to say favourable, the duty has been done at 130,0001. The show of hops is moderate, and the demand is steady, at last week's pi ices. The imports have amounted to 70 bales from Hombre and 50 from Harburg. lid and East Kent pockets 3/ 103 to 5/ 12s ; Weald of Kent, 3/ 5s to 31 15s ; Sussex, 3/ Os to 3/ 12s ; year lings, 1/ 10s to 2/. 183. per cwt. WOOL. Owing to some of the holders of English wool having de manded higher prices, the amount of business doing in it is limited, and the quotations are al mos t nom i na l. Foreign and colonial qualities are dull, but not cheaper.

Such was the case . with sugar, indigo, silk, and lac, until their preparation was undertaken by Europeans, and the value of these articles now exported. cannot be es'imated at less than 15,000,0001., a properly, the greater part of it, th e creation of English skill, enterprise, and capit'tl. Europeans have not engaged in the culture of cotton, which no doubt they would have done had they found it profitable, and the consequence is that Indian cot ton is abtrbar ous ar ti c l e . It is not the only one that is in this state when neglected by Europeans. Tot , acco, for ex amp l e , h as b een cu lti va ted in India for 200 years, and many of its soils and climates are as well adapted for it ai those of Maryland or Cuba. Although universally pro luced it is a wretched article, so unfit for exportation th a t i t h ar dly s h o ws its face in an English price current. The value of all the crude tobacco imported into England in 1855 was 1,303,000!., of which British India sup plied 171. worth. The value of cigais furnish- d by the Spanish possessions of Cuba and the Philip pines in the same year was 237,447/. ; that of Bri tish India was 4831. ! In consequence of Iri,h famine and free trade, maize came to be a hew im port into England, a fow years back, and re idy America supplied us in 1855 with this cora to tho value of 1, 471,5001., our whole impor s amounting t i the value of 2,640,2511. Of this British India did not furnish a single bushel. Although Indian industry is incapable of pro ducing for exportation commodities demanding skill and care in preparation, it produces freely enough such as are the mere product of crude and cheap manipulation, or wh;ch can be raised ou lan.l too poor to be applied to the.production of bread corn, or which the forests yield, or which there is no market for at home. Thus, although oppreised by a pernicious monopoly, it produces opium to the yearly value of 2,000,0001. We' have at ih's mo ment before us a list of no fewer than 24 aft cles unknown to Indian commerce before the ab3litien. of the monopoly, and the aggregate value of which imported into England in 1855 was no less than 3,500,0001. They consist of such commodities as cocoa-nut husks, oil seeds, a kind of coarse hemp (corconts junccea), sheep's wool, coarse but us 'ful, hides, cocoa-nut oil, gutty pepha, Indian rubber, gambier, and tallow. Sack Eommodities as these, it will appear at oncie, denarrid no dill ; wherever skill and care are required. ,ftar the production of commodities suited- to the European market, the Hindus will be found unequal-to their producion. The Chinese can makefinta sugar and fine ilk without European help, but not the Hindus. Among such new commodities as those above referred to, those demanding skill are all of Chinese manufacture, such as Malay tin, sago, gambler, and the go Al sugars of Siam, Java, and Manilla. For improvement in the growth of Indian cot ton, tbe. Manchester interest is disposed to lay mighty stress on irrigation, but this is quite a mis take on their part. Cotton is a dry-field, not a wet field culture, and there are, indeed, few useful plants ,that thrive so well with little rnoistura. When land is made amenable to permanent irrri gation (an expensive process) its productive powers are increased five-fold, nay even up to ten-fold, when the water supply is ample and its sources perennial. The most valuable crops only will then be cultivated, and rice, within the Tropics and near them, will be sure to have the preference, even on lands but partially irrigated. Cotton will only follow rice, as a second crop within the year, as do sesame, pulses, and such like plants—save all crops, as it were. This is Indian husbandry, and Manchester possesses no magician's wand to change it. LLOYD'S SHIPPING. —{Phis Day.) LONDON, June 22.—Wind this day at noon, N.N.E. light airs, and hazy.

MONUMENT TO CAPTAIN LYONS.—A. monument to the memory of Captain Lyons, son of Admiral Lord Lyons, who was killed on board the Miranda, which be commanded in a night attack on Fort Constantine, on the 15th of June, 1855, in the late war with Russia, bas just been placed in the south aisle of St. Paul's Cathe dral. It was executed by Mr. Noble, of Bruton-street, and consists of a large tablet, on which is carved the Miranda attacking the battery. The sculpture is very good, the difficulty of representing water and smoke in marble having been surmounted with HUM 'BE. The national flags of England, France, Sardinia and Turkey, with a medallion likeness of the lamented officer, sur rounded with oak and laurel branches, are introduced, The monument, as the inscription states, is erected " in deepest grief by the officers and ship's company of her Majesty's ship Miranda, who had served under the gal lant officer in the Baltic, White Sea, Black Sea, and the Sea of Azoff." ST. JAMES'S PALACE.—Wbenever there has been a question of abolishing St. James's Palace, or of apply ing it to any useful purpose, the court always maintained that, however old and ugly it might be, it was the most convenient and commodious inside for receptions and state occasions of any palace in Europe. Thanks to Verbena, the falsehood of this cry has been exposed ; and as it is now known that St. James's Palace is as in convenient as it is ugly, there can be no possible reason why it should be allowed to encumber the ground. Let it come down at once, and open St. James's-street into the Park and Pall-mall into the Green-park. We should then have a metropolitan improvement for which the public would not object to give a quid pro quo in the shape of providing a place for court ceremonies and state receptions. But as for' lay in g out a penny on St. James's Palace, the proposition is absurd and offen sive to the common sense of the nation. Clear the ground and sell the old materials for what they will fetch, and then let the site, except the roadway into the Park, be applied for public purposes or leased. Then, with the money, we m a y be able to put up a couple of boiler-houses in Kensington swamps fo'r the courts to be held, if it still be inconvenient to hold them in Buck ingham Palace. In fact, Kensington swamp app ears a very proper place indeed for the court to be held in. It is the place of predilection of the Field Marshal. A. couple of boiler-houses would not cost much, and they would be quite costly enough for drawing-rooms, seeing they have been deemed good enough for our fine art :collection. —Building NCIPB.
