CRICKET.--(THIS DAY.)

THE OVAL.
MARLBOROUGH V. RUGBY.

Another glorious morning, and more excellent cricket
played between these elevens, awaited the visitors to
the Oval this morning. Last night at seven o'clock, Marl-
borough had lost four wickets for 57 runs, Wyld
being (not out) 17 and Gordon (not out) A. They took
their places as before, and the bowling was undertaken by
Bourne and Ellis. The fifth wicket (Gordon's) fell when
the score was up to 64, and at 75 Hillyard was settled by
Bourne. Money gave a chance to Tobin, major, at long
leg, but it was not taken. 100 was soon accumulated, and
then a change in bowling was instituted, Bourne giving way
to Stutter, and Ellis to Francis, next Pauneefote went in
again, but it was of no use, the bowling was "collared,"
and runs kept coming fast, despite the splendid fielding.
At 12.50, 140 was up, and hopes were entertained that
what at one time looked like a rotten game, might become
an exciting and interesting match. Wyld batted admi-
rably, and be was very ably supported by Money. A tre-
mendous shout just before one o clock, when our despatch
loft, announced that the balance of 159 were rubbed off,
and just then Wyld was caught by long stop.

A meeting of the Trades Unions Commissioners

THE. FORTHCOMING ART EXHIBITION AT LEEDS.
—The national exhibition of works of art, to be held at
Leeds next year, progresses most favourably.
THE CIVIL ER VlCE.—Yesterday afternoon, in
the Members' Tea Room of the House of Commons,
a large body of the Excise branch of the Civil Service
waited upon members of the House of Commons, to
urge upon their consideration the many disadvantages
their class suffer, and, among other things, the great
advantage which would accrue to the public service
and to the revenue of the three branches of the Cus-
toms—namely, stamps, taxa, and excise—were con-
solidated. Among the members present were Baron
Rothschild, Mr. Serjeant King, Mr. P. O'Brien, Mr. Hors-
fall, Mr. George S. Smith, Lord Curzon, Mr. John Cand-
lish, Mr. P. A. Taylor, Sir John Gray, Mr. Bass, and man
others. While the deputation were explaining, through
Mr. Meikle, Mr. Steel, and other spokesmen, the various
points for the consideration of the members, showing that
the excise officers have heavy responsibilities and duties,
at comparatively low salaries, many of the members were
called away to the house. The deputation proceeded to
urge that there would be great advantage in combining
such offices as the collection of the excise and the collec-
tion of the assessed taxes, for now the two offices were
carried out separately in cases where one officer could per-
form both duties, and the members who remained agreed
that a case for inquiry bad been made out, and urged the
deputation to draw up their statements concisely, so that
attention might be given to the various points. The de-
putation thanked the members and withdrew. This branch
of the civil servants, whose case was reported a few weeks
since, is holding a day-to-day conference at Exeter-hall.
OF LADY PANMIIRE.—We regret to
announce the death of this amiable lady, which event took
place yesterday, at Paris. The deemedterday, peeress was twice
married, first to Lord Panmure, consequently she was the
stepmother of the present Earl of Dalhousie, and secondly,
to BonamyMansellPower. Esq., of Guernsey.—Golignani.
THE BIRMINGHAM DIETTYRBANCEB.—The ex-
citement occasioned by Mr. Murphy's visit has well nigh

as quiet as it was before the " Tabernacle" was erected.
The county police have left us, and the last of the military
—the 81st Infantry—departed for Weedon yesterday
morning. There was no lecture in the " Tabernacle" last
evening.—Birsaisokast Pose.
Jamas HALLAM. —We understand that Hallam
has left Sheffield, expressing a strong desire that his retreat
may never be disoovered.—SArifiefd Independent.
THE LATE Eteuttxrue RACE TOR 4001.—The re-
feree corrects the statement as to the race between Sadler
and Cooper on Monday to the effect that the stakes were
awarded to Sadler on a foul. This he mays was contrary to
fact. " A collision undoubtedly took place, as Sadler,
after giving way from one side of the river to the other,
was passing Cooper in Crab Tree Reach, but it in no was
affected the result of the race. The stakes were claimed
for Cooper on the foul, but the claim was rejected, and it
is some satisfaction to learn that on board the umpire's
boat he subsequently admitted that he did his best, and
was beaten by a better man."

to "the union," and whom she denounced a " knobstick."
She was sentenced to seven days' bard labour for dis-
orderly conduct.

MONEY YAREET.-(THIS DAY.)

Om o'Cizooz.

In the Stock Exchange to-day attention is prin-
pally directed to preparations for the fortnightly
settlement on Friday in shares and foreign stocks,
and the amount of fresh business is not impor-
tant. The general tone of the markets, how-
ever, it; better than yesterday, owing
to the fine weather and the prospect of
an increased influx of gold to the Bank. The
temporary increase in the demand for money at-
tracts little notice, being usual at this period of
the quarter. Consols have risen 1-16 to i per cent.
British railways and foreign bonds are rather
quiet, but the few changes which have occurred are
in an upward direction.
The demand for money is active, and the float-1
ing supply having diminished, as usual, at this
period, the rate for the best bills is firmer, at 2g
per cent. Short loans are in demand in the Stock
Exchange at 2/ per cent.
Consols are now quoted 944 to b, ex div.,
for money, and 94g, ex div., for the account
(July 10) ; and the Three per Cents. Reduced
and New Three per Cents., 931 to g.
The government broker has bought to-day
13,0001. New Three per Cents. at 93g for the
Sinking Fund.
The foreign stock market is quiet, but Turkish
of 1862 and Italian of 1861 are inquired for, and
have risen and per cent. ,respectively. Turkish
Bonds of 1862 are quoted 584 to 594 ; ditto Five
per Cents. of 1865, 331 to ; Greek, 15 to ;
Spanish Passive, 231, to 24e ; ditto Certificates, 141
to I ; Italian of 1861, 54 to ; and Mexican,
164 to I.
As regards bank shares, London and West-
minster have declined 11., viz., to 102 to 104, but
most other descriptions are quiet. London and
Westminster are quoted 102 to 104 ; Union of Lon-
don, 39 to 40; Imperial Ottoman, 1, to "„ die. ;
Alliance, 9} to 84 dis. ; and Consolidated, to 11
prem.

There is very little business in the shares of the
financial companies., and prices are without varia-
tion. International are quoted 11 to If dia. ;
London, 21 to 20 dis. ; General Credit, 11 to lf
dis. ; and Credit Fonder, 51 to 5i dis.
United States 5-20 Bonds are without change,

present prices being 40,1 to 41 and 79} to 80,
respectively.

heard before Vice-Chancellor Melina on the sth of

There were no bullion operations at the Bank
yesterday. The demand for exportation having
diminished, owing to the renewed firmness of the
foreign exchanges, it is thought that the bulk of
the recent arrivals from New York will be sent into
the Bank.

The shipments of gold from Melbourne to Eng-
land for the month ending on the 27th ult. reached
417,000 i., making the total on the way from that
