COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MARK-LANE.--“His DAY.)
There was a very poor show of English wheat here to-
day, coastwise and by land-carriage ; yet the demand for
all kinds was in a moat inactive state, and last week's
prices were with difficulty supported.
The show of foreign wheat was extensive. Even the
finest samples were neglected ; nevertheless, no quotable
change took place in pnoes.
Scarcely any English barley was brought forward ; but
the supply of foreign was tolerably good. Males progressed
slowly, at about stationary priors.
Malt was in fair average supply sod moderate request,
on former terms.

The supply of foreign oats being extensive, the oat trade
was inactive, at late rates.
Beans were scarce, and held at full quotations.
We have no change to notice in the value of peas.
Maize moved off in retail quantities,'at last week's prices.
The flour trade was very ciuiet, at labs rates.
In agricultural seeds, very little was passing.
The arrival of grain vessels off the coast has been small,
and the trade has been quiet, owing to the influence of
the fine weather. The demand for wheat has been
limited, hut the quotations are without material altera-
tion. Benlianski, 635. 6d.; Polish, 6%4 Moldavian, 07s.

prices were fully maintained. The demand, however, has
been very limited. No barley being on sale, the

CRICKET.

Grinsuime v. PLATllta—The weather yesterday morning
being tolerably flue, thongh the wind was disagreeably high,
Oity in this match was resumed at the Oval at a few minutes
before twelve. The "1104 outs" of the previous night. Jupp
with three runs, and Griffith, who had no opportunity of scoring,
resumed their places at the respective wieketa, opposed to the
bowling of Dr. Orson, at the Pavilion end, and Mr. R. D.
Walker. Griffith wain gave agood account of himself, and before
hispartner had made any sign, he had contributed fourteen by one
four, one three, and singles. limp then made an of for
3 from Mr. D Walker. When the score had been augmented
to 38, Mr. Maitland superseded Mr. Grace, at the Pavilion
wicket but the Ant ball he delivered Prillfith lifted to long-on
over the forma, near the Pavllim. The next over saw the last
of Orlthth, who went in to drive another of Mr. Maitland's,
which he mimed, and of course had to pay the usual penalty.
Mr. Bound being thus far in drumental In disposing of all the
players' wicketa-3 for 46. Charles Coward next faced Jupp,
who drove Mr. R. D. Walker well to long-on, for 4,
and then Coward comnieneed with • three—an on
drive—off Mr. Maitland. lie then followed suit with
an off drive for 4 off Mr. Walker. So effective were the
!tittle( and defence of this pair of batsmen that a new bowler in
the person of Mr. Trail! was called upon to bowl in the room of
Dr. Orson. He commenced with a maiden over, and runs con-
tinued to come steadily, WI GO were " totalled," when Jupp
hit a ball ef Mr. Maitland's to cover-point, and Coward started
to run, but before he could recover his ground Mr. J. D. Walker,
by expert Melding, dashed the ball In, and Mr. Bound put down
the wicket, adding another to his previous succemm. Coward
had made his 17 quickly and well, by one four, three Vs, one 2,
Lc. Rain then commenced falling,, and at a little before lan
adjournment was deemed adviaable. In about a quarter of
an hour anlattempt was made to proceed, but two balls only were
bowled, and the rain came down faster than ever, again driving
all hands to cover. At • quartet to 2 all hope of proceeding
further with the game for the day was abandoned. Play will
be resumed at 1 t o'clock We day,

NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION PRIZE

MEETING.

WIMBLEDON COMMON, TUFADAT EVENING.
The following schools were represented yesterday:—
Eton, Harrow, Rugby, Winchester, Cheltenham, Marl-
borough, and Rossall. After a very spirited contest the
shield was won by Harrow by 244 marks, bestir g the next
highest (Rugby) by four marks only. They made 240. It
was last year won by Harrow by '156 marks. Eton was
then the next highest, and made 233 marks. This is the
third year in succession this mire has been won by Harrow.
Arising out of this competition always follows a second
one for a Cup given annually by Earl Spencer, E.G.. to be
competed for by the best shot in each of the elevens in the
first stage, and to become the sbsolu'e property of the
winner of it. Seven shots each at 500 yards. This prize
was won by the Cheltenham boy (Collier) by 22 marks.
Jones, of Harrow, won it last year.
Another new prize commenced to be shot for to-day
was called "The Ride Oaks," a sweepstakes, with a
certain amount deducted for the benefit of the association.
The amount is divided into three prizes. Five shots each
at 500 yards. This contest will be continued all to-
morrow.
Mr. R. Bird, of the South Middlesex, who the other
day, in shooting with a Joslin rifle at 500 yards. and tiring
for the Duke of Csmbridge's prize with military breech-
loaders, made 93, this day at 200 yards scored SO in 3t
shots with the same weapon. His numbers were 7 bull's-
eyes, 14 centres, and 5 outer".
It was omitted to be stated in the proper place that C.,or.
lanes, of the lit Banff, made 54 points foe the
Queen's Prize at the second stage, the sane score as was
made by Captain Wright.
When the Harrow boys left the ground on their return
home they were loudly cheered.

THE BELGIAN °mgrs.

Noticing the blunders which have occurred in
the arrangements regarding the reception of the Belgian
volunteers, the Daily News observes that the Admiralty
began by refusing tc permit the Slerapis to go nearer
Antwerp than the Nolen Channel—some 20 miles off
from the city of embarkation. When on board, the
volunteers were packed much too close for comfort,
and ships enough to bring the whole number from Ant-
werp might just as well have been sent. The corporation
of London next treated the guests to • stage banquet,
where nothing was real but the intolerably tedious
pomposity of the speech-making, and all the rest a beg-
garly ►count of cold joints, undressed salads, and occa•
atonal mint sauce ; something between • tenth-rate tavern
luncheon bar and • railway refreshment room—the sloven-
liness
of the one and the staleness of the other, with the
bad attendance and shabbiness of both. At Wimbledon
things were not much better. The ball at the Agricuturel-
hall seems to be entrusted to good hands, and ought to
be • success', so far at least as the decorations are con-
cerned. But how about the commissariat? Our guests
cannot be expected to subsist on complimentary toasts
and cheers during their stay in England. They have good
appetites at home, and English air is not likely to appease
them. On the whole, we trust our friends from Flanders
may get more amusement and satisfaction out of these ten
days in England than any official entertainers can secure
them, especially in wet weather. No doubt we are a highly
" practical" people, but when we try to feed two thousand
foreign guests—not to speak of lodging them—even the
City dignitaries, whose speciality is feeding, break down
deplorably, and we are all reduced by those who represent
us in this matter to beg our hungry guests to believe in
our good intentions, and to take the will for the deed.

charged before Yr Tyrwhitt with refusing to break stoma
at the workhouse of St. George, Hanover-square.
Thomas Whetstone, superintendent of labour at St.
George's Workhouse, said—Last night the prisoner brought
a ticket he received at the polies station, and I admitted
him as a casual. This morning I gave him his breakfast,
and afterwards told him to go to the stoneyard and break
stones. He refused to do so, and on my telling him that
if he did not I should have to take him before • magis-
trate he said he did not care for the magistrate mom than
me.

Prisoner—l had some writing to do to-day, and if I bad
broken stones I could not have dune it. I offered to pick
oakum.

Mr. Tyrwhitt—Did he offer to pick oakum?
Witness—Yea ; but if I allowed the people to choose
their work I should not get any work done.
Mr. Tyrwhitt (to the prisoner}—You will he committed
for four days. You moat be taught that you are to do
what you are ordered, and not as you like.

THE BREADALBANE PEERAGE.

The succession to the Breadalbane Peerage and estates,
worth 40,00 W. a year, was yesterday decided in the House
of Lords by the unanimous judgments of the Lord Chan-
cellor and Lords Cnuiworth, Westbury, and Colonsay. The
Times gives an outline of the facts of the case. The ques.
tion at issue was whether the grandfather of the respon-
dent was legaUy married to one Eliza Blanchard. She
eloped with him, and on all occaaions was called Mrs.
Campbell, and was always acknowledged as his wife
by the family. Had she been a single woman
at the time of the elopement there would be little doubt,
according to the Scotch law, about the validity of the
marriage and the legitimacy of her son, the father of the
respondent. But at the time of the elopement she was
the wife of an apothecary, who did not die till four years
afterwards. The marriage had been assumed by the judges
from the "habit and repute" of so many years and
the recognition of the marriage by James Campbell's
family during his lifetime. The House of Lords
yesterday upheld this judgment. The four peers
who took part in the proceedings concurred with
the Lord Chancellor in the opinion that " the
strong presumption in favour of the marriage of the
respondent's grandfather and grandmother bad not been
shaken by any proof adduced by the appellant." "It
must," continued Lord Chelmsford, " be remembered that
they had to do with facts which commenced more than
eighty years ago, with an uninterrupted recognition of
legitimacy during the whole lifetime of the respondent's
father." Such a case as this, says the Times, shows the
necessity of a strict marriage law, which shall make
the most important contract of life depend on a formal
act, duly registered and easily ascertained. Here is a
Scottish gentleman, accustomed during his whole
life to regard himself as the undoubted heir of the
family honours, and when he succeeds to them he
Hods his title questioned because there is no evidence
of a marriage which, if ever contracted at all, was con-
tracted 80 years ago, and be only maintains his position
because the presumptions of the case are in his favour. It
ie probable that Mr. and Mrs. Campbell were content with
an irregular marriage, evidenced by " habit and repute."
But bad the husband been an Englishman, and had be de-
sired to make the woman his real wife, he would have
taken the earlieat opportunity after the death of her hus-
band to marry her openly ; he would have carefully kept
the certificate, and made known to all concerned the place
and time of the ceremony, and where the register of it was
to be found. Such a litigation as this would then have
been impossible ; and the respondent in this case would
have been spared years of anxiety, while the appellant
would not have been excited by the false hope of obtaining
wealth and honours, which are now snatched from him
after being seemingly almost within his grasp.

THE RETORM niscramow.

After stating the leading declarations of Mr. Lowe, the
Times proceeds to point out why they have been set maids
by statesmen of all parties, and remonstrate■ with bim for
expressing his readiness to hurry on a revolutionary policy
when the bill is in operation. The Times trusts he will
reconsider his illadvised conclusions, and find, when the
time cornea, that his duty to his country under its re-
formed constitution will not require of him any further
sacrifice than consists in the adoption of a better opinion
of his countrymen and the entire renunciation of the dole-
ful predictions with which be has rather shocked than
alarmed public opinion.
The matter for surprise to the P•ot is, not that Lord
Oranborne and General Peel quitted the cabinet, but
that any gentlemen remained in it. The quota.iors made
by lord Cranhorrie from speeches made during the past
and the present session by Mr. Disraeli, Lord Stanley,
Mr. Hardy, and Sir S. Northeote, bore out but too con-
eliudvely his assertion, not that those gentlemen bad
changed their mind., for that would be excusable, but
that they now, at the dictation of the extreme members
of the liberal party, and, for the mere sake of retaining
office, embraced a measure of which in their consciences

they disapproved. But is it possible to conceive of any
imputation more serious being cast upon the government
of the day than that it has used its influence to pass a law
which It does not believe to he calculated to advance the
interests of the date

The Rtar hears there are members of the Hones of Lords
who, though not up to ti.e mark of direct opposition, aro
yet much inclined to bins for thi putpeao of mutilating

THE VISIT OP THE BELGIANS TO WINDSOR.

In the Riding School yesterday eleven hundred were
seated, and in the auxiliary room three relays, averaging
about 600 each. Most of the elite were accommodated in
the " riding school," where the Hon. Percy Herbert pre-
sided. On his right were M. Antioch, burgomaster of
Brussels ; Major Moder, commandant of the Dutch rifle.
men ; and the burgomasters of Ostend, Bruges, and
Ghent ; and M. Healy, president of the Tir National
Beige. On the left was Colonel Gregoire, commandant of
the Belgian rifleman, and many other distinguished foreign
and English gentlemen. The band of the 2nd Life Guards
performed during dinner. The scene of excitement dm,
ing the speeches made on both aides became intense. The
cheering became so truly terrific that a bugler had to be
kept near the president to give the call for silence when
the speeches were interrupted. The total number accom-
modated at dinner was returned at 2,700. It is a fact which
reflects the highest credit on the management, that
although the number present exceeded the number antici-
pated, none had to be disappointed, but all were supplied
with as much food and wine as they cared to have. Daring
the afternoon the healthy of Colonel Leyd Lindsay and
Lieutenant Purley, and other members of the committee,
were drunk.

At the conclusion of the festivities the various con-
tingents marched to the respective railway stations for
which they were detailed. And again the whole
population of Windsor turned out to greet them.
Every one endeavoured to shake the hand of the
Belgian, and the Belgian shook two in return, whilst
the feminine portion of the crowd woes Iregualatleett) the
great delight and sheering of the crowd, kissed to their
heart's content, One of the great objects of attraction and,
ovation was the tremendous drum-major of the GarcieCiviq ne
of Brussels, who, with his stupendous bearskin and feather
nearly a yard high, was the " observed of all observers."
From the British soldier and stalwart navvy tothe smallest
gamin every one tried to get a shake of the hand of the
"great" Belgian. Inthia manner the stations were reached;
and here another ovation awaitedourguests. The Berkshire
Volunteers joined in the exuberance of enthusiasm which
pervaded every one, even to the extent of carrying an
equally exuberant Belgian on their shoulders along the
platform to his carriage. Fraternisation was rampant.
The Berkshires struck up " Auld Lang Syne," and the
Belgians Fang something about meeting side by side, and
oonfuaion became worse confounded, until the whistle of
the engine gave the signal for starting, and the train glided
out of the station amidst the cheer. of hundreds sasemblid.
The Belgians who visited England this year will no ddsbt
enjoy, for many • long day, their reminiscences of
Windsor.

!the last, of her class. But since 1856
an entirely now order of ships has
sprung into existence. The wooden frigates of
the Mersey class are almost superseded by the
ironclad frigates of the Warrior class, and the
Warrior, Sir JOHN PAKINuTON'M pet child,
although only on her second commission, is in
structure and strength a generation behind the
Minotaur. In fact, the professional eye will con-
template to-day the navy of the past, the navy of
the present, and the navy of the future ; for the
Royal Sovereign may be regarded as the pre-
cursor of a fleet of sea-going turret ships. The
Channel squadron which recently escorted the
SULTAN to Dover may be looked upon Al the most
complete specimens of the fighting ships of the
present day ; and it is probable enough that
their day will be longer than that of
their predecessors, for they must always be
powerful and effective ships. But a glance at that
reseed three-decker, the Royal Sovereign, will con-
vince the most ur willing that naval construction for
combatant purposes has not said its last word. It is
evident, from the most cursory survey of the fleet
which is to be reviewed to-day, that such a collec-
tion of vessels of all sorts and sizes is far from
representing the actual effective fighting
strength of the British navy. Were we unhappily
on the eve of war, half these ships, and the most
imposing and beautiful of them, must be paid out
of commission and laid up. It is rather a museum
of naval architecture afloat than a compact and
complete fighting force that is to be exhibited on
this occasion before the SULTAN and the Viceroy of
EGYPT and our other foreign visitors and guests.
In this regard, the Naval Review of 1867 cannot
fail to strike them as abundant practical proof of
the indefatigable vigilance and inexhaustible re-
sources of Great Britain in all that concerns the
maintenance of her undisputed supremacy at sea.

clip off that part of the bill, and mend back to the commons
the measure thus maimed, as old world tyrants sometimes
sent unwelcome messengers back to their masters with
hands or noses lopped off. But the peers must have sense
enough to know that such a proceeding would simply be
what Mr. Lowe calls " untying the bag which holds the
winds.'

OUR CONTEMPORARIES.

(THIS DAY.)

The Times hardly knows how to believe that the
Fenian", M`Cafferty and Burke, are destined for the doom
of the gallows. With the excuse of lamentable ignorance
and folly they may be allowed to be patriots, and there-
fore martyrs and heroes. blTafferty has been a brave
sohlier, the comrade of gentlemen, and accepts the dis-
astrous conclusion of his career with calmness of spirit
and grandeur of soul. But yet these men so far from
proving any charge against England, du not bring
against her a single grievance national or personal.
They give her a bad name and nothing more.
Condemning the delays which lead it to doubt whether
either ministry or opposition has that single-minded desire
to pass a Reform Bill for which both claim credit, the
Times again upbraid' the government for their vacillation
in first acquiescing in Mr. Hodgkinson's amendment and
then practically withdrawing from it. If they are wise
they will at once retreat from such an undignified position,
and turn the third and fourth clauses adrift.

The Daily News shows how Mr. Disraeli, in his treat-
ment of compound householding, has simply travelled
round a circle, arriving at the spot from which he started,
and in feigning to accept and give effect to the principle
of Mr. Hodgkinson's amendment covertly reverses it.
Happily Mr. Disraeli, though incessant in errors, is not
tenacious of them.

The Herald tells the conservatives that if they are only
true to themselves they have • better chance than they
ever had before, of moulding the course of the measure,
so as to remove from it the reproach of being household
suffrage and nothing else.
The Standard defends the new clauses, and cannot con-
ceive that any honest man can wish for more, but does
not anticipate that any great dispute can arise about it.
The 're egrapA warns the government that if Fenianiam
is stained by the law with blood, the cause will pin Buell
dignity that national feeling may be enlisted on its side
for a generation to come, and we may have to pat down
another rising with an iron hand. If they hang one traitor
they must hang all, and in that case we shall be back again
in the bloody assize of Judge Jeffries. This is not a party,
but a national question, and the responsibility of what the
government does will rest upon the whole country.
The Star trusts that the deputation who are exerting
themselves for • commutation of the capital sentence on
the Fenian convict Burke, will take measures, short as is
the time now left them, to have their prayer laid before
the queen herself. Next Wednesday is the day fixed for
the execution of Burke ; and as he was by no means
supremely guilty, or alone in his guilt, we must infer that
if the death sentence be carried out in his ease it will be
followed by the execution of some, at least, of the other
Fenian' already condemned to die. The revival in our
days of inch a " Bloody Assize " would be as impolitic as
it would be odious.
