clared his willingness to die for his country and the charter,

the parish.—Leeds Mercury.

hitter class pictures, the property of Count de Horny, of

Watteau (L. a Champs Elysdes), the smaller picture,'

Calm), 900 guineas; Vanderheyden (a View of Wes-
terkeerk), 920 guineas; A. Van Da Velde (Ruined
Arch and Cows, a small picture), 850 guineas; Adrian
Ostade (the small picture dated 1679), 800 guinea' ; K. Du
Jardin (Landscape with Cattle), 740 guineas; Watteau
Le Repos de Chasse, companion to tte large Les Champs
Elyse's, and also from the Fetch collection), 730 guineas;
Vend rheyden (View in the gardens of a religious
institution), 610 guineas ; K. Du Jardin (Le Ma-
nege—a capital example), 600 guineas; Cuyp (Interior
with four cows), 570 guineas; Grease (La Petite fille aux
Fleurs—a head in oval of a young girl—extremely insipid),
510 guineas; Dinner (Portrait of a Woman, in his careful
bail -style), 500 guineas; W. Vandevelde (A. Calm), 500
guineas; Teniers (the Guard-room—the only Tenters in the
collection), 490 guineas; Isaac Ostade (Halt at a Country
Inn, dated 1645), 420 guineas ; Adrian Ostade (Interior of
a Rustic Cottage, dated 1647), 400 guineas; Grease (Head

Hoeghe (an Interior, three people playing at cards), 300
guineas ; Grease (11-ad of • young Girl—. expressive of
ecstasy"), 300 guineas. The Ilobbinta (No. 104) sold far
220 guineas; the gallery Rubsns (IL rcules and Ompliale),
480 guineas; and the Rembrandt (the Resurrection of
Llxims) 370 guineas. It says very little for the taste of
the age, or the proper appreciation of works of art, when
insiuid productions like those of Greure realise such large
sums as at this sole snit at the recent sale of Mr. Wells's
pictures. A Head, by Deaner, that cost 500 guineas, is in-
,leed a curiosity, not so much as a work of art, hut for the
extraordinary sum actually paid for a very inferior pro-
duction.

COMMERCIAL er MARKETS.

MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.

Two o'Clock.—Although the accounts from the
Continent were read as generally unfavourable this
morning, so little effect now has any occurrences,
but such as might seem to compromise the in-
terests of peace and of this country, that the funds
improved. We quote Consols now at 83 jto for the
opening, with a firm market, although ithout much
business. Reduced Threes are 831, to 4. Three-and-
a-Quarter per Cents., 84i to Z. Exchequer Bills,
375. to 40s. premium. Bank Stock, 191 to 3.
The often-repeated report, which may now be con-
sidered to be authenticated, of the approaching rati-
fication of the treaty between the United States and
Mexico, raised the prices of Mexican bonds about per
cent. ab ive the quotations of yesterday. They are now
called I 6 to 17. Notwithstanding this intelligence,
the transactions in them are quite nnimpor-

tile, and it would almost stem as if the is;nd-
holders had little more hope of any resumption
of the payment of dividends from the restoration of
peace than preGoubly. In other foicign stock we
have little change, and few dealings. Peruvian are
30 to 5. Chilian, 78 to 81. New Grenada, 12 to 13.
Venezuela, 15 to 18. Brazilian, 66 to 9. Spanish
Fives, are 111 to ; the Threes, 22 I. Passive,
21, to 31. Portuguese, 16 to 17. Dutch Two-and.a-
Half per Cents., 421 to 3! ; the Fours, 63& to 41.
Russian, 88 to 91. Danish, 63 to 7.
The advice& from Amsterdam represent a good de-
mand for home stock.

RAILWAYS.—The market has not improved with
the advance i•. the funds, and great difficulty exists
in efficting sales, unless at lower rates. We have
London and North Western stock called 119 to 120,
which shows a gradual and steady decline. Bir-
mingham and Oxford, about 3 premium. Black-
wall, 41. Buckinghamshires are done at 4 dis-
count. Eastern Counties 6 per Cents., pre-
mium. Most of the late fresh creations of 6 per
cent. railway stock are neglected, scarcely com-
manding any premium. East Lancashire 6 per Cents.
are premium. Brightons and Lancashire and
Yorkshires the same.

CORN.—BARNSLET, June 21. —We had a good
attendance of farmers. Millen were very reluctant buyers
at any advance, and only the very needy were induced to
buy, even at last week's rates. In a few instances an ad.
vane,: of 6d. per three binthela tf Wheat were obtained.
Nothing doing in other grain.
BASINGSTOKE, June 21.—The late refreshing rains, and
the absence of large supplies, cause the Wheat trade to
rule with a greater cegree of lirrane3s. The ge:tcral tone of
the markets caused an advance to be made to day, in good-
conditioned samples, of at least 2s. per qr., at which prices
milturs and bakers added to their stocks, although not ex-
tensively. Barley was little inquired fur; there was an in-
clination towsnis abatement, but nominal Vrms may be
quoted. In Oats, Beans, and Pete trade W9ll limited, and
