HONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The business transactions in the general discount
market show that the demand is well maintained,
land the rates continue firm.
The failure has been announced of Messrs. John
Wilson, jun. and Co., Russian merchants, of Old
Broad-street, with liabilities estimated at below
£40,000. Their suspension has been produced by
the stoppage of Messrs. Dye and Co., of St. Peters.
'burg, for whom they were agents in this country.

At the second ordinary general meeting of the
Westminster Brewery Company, held to-day, the
directors proposed that a dividend of 6 per cent. per
annum, free of income-tat, be paid out of the avail-
able balance of £3,950.
About £77,000 in gold was taken into the Bank
yesterday. _ _

The North American, from New York, has ar-
rived with £ll,BOO.
The prospectus has appeared of the Adelaide
(North Arm) Port and Railway Extension and
Land Company, South Australia, witt a capital of
£400,000, the first issue of which will comprise
10,000 shares of £2O each. It is proposed to con-
struct about 2,000 feet of wharf frontage, where ves-
sels of the largest tonnage may lay alongside, and to
erect wharves, warehouses, and other conveniences,
affording ample accommodation to the shipping re-
sorting to the port ; also to lay down two miles of
railway to complete the line already laid down by
the Government, from the city of Adelaide to the
North Arm, and a short line of four and a half
miles to the Dry Creek Station on the Great North
and Murray River Railway, wt.ich will effect a
saving of twelve miles of carriage between the grew
producing districts and the port of the colony.
Interest is to be paid at the rate of 6 per cent. per
annum on the subscribed capital until the works are
so far completed as to enable the directors to com-
mence business. The object of the company may
be regarded as national, if the dangerous, narrow,
and tortuous channel leading to the present port of
Adelaide be compared to the Intended harbour,
which possesses deep water and safe anchorage. The
question of constructing a new quay appears to
have been long under the consideration of the
Legislative Council of the colony, and an appendix
is furnished with the prospectus proving the desi
rability of the project.

The last week's railway receipts ascertained up
to this day are in round figures as under :

These returns are generally of an unsatisfactory

the Brighton of £9,968, on the Midland of £3,654,
on the South Eastern of £1,063, on the North

field, and Lincoln of £587. The North Western,
however, shows an increase of £1,265, the Great
Northern of £229, the Lancashire and Yorkshire of
£2,206 and the Great Western of Canada of £1,322.

Two O'CLOCK.

At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were
69f. 55c., 69f. 45c. Animate.
The general situation of business in the market
for the English Funds presents no change of im-
portance, and the tendency of quotations is still
rather unsatisfactory. Speculation is very much
curtailed, but the few operations daily reported
show that the operators are more inclined to pro-
ceed for a fall than an advance in prices.
Consols have been 94 for money, and 92 k for
the July account, but they are now k per cent.
better—viz., 91; 92, and 924.- / respectively.
The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are at
918 s ; the New Two-and-a-Half per Cent. Annni
ties, 761; and the Thirty Years ditto, 15. Bank
Stock is marked 234 ; India Five per Cent. Loan,
1078 ; and the Five-and-a Half per Cent. Paper,
1151. The Bonds are 10s. prem., and Exchequer
Bills 4s. dis. to par.
In the Foreign Department the most important
feature has been a rise of 3 per cent. in Mexican
Bonds, viz., to 361 1, owing to the receipt of the
capture of Puebla by the French; Greek Bonds,
however, have declined to 371 38; do., Coupons, to
181 I; Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are 711 1 ;
do., Consolides, 508 ;; Spanish Passive, 33/ 348 ;
do., Certificates, 11; 121; Portuguese, 498 ; Vene-
zuela, 58 4; Italian, 72.1 73; Egyptian, 100 k 1.
The C3nfederate Loan is 2 to 1 dis.; and the Ntw
Venezuelan Loan, to 1 prem.
Business in the Railway Share Market has been
rather inactive. London and Blackwall have de-
clined about £1 10,3.; London, Chatham, and
Dover, ss. ; and North Western, Ss. ; while Great
Northern have improved 15s. ; the A Stock £1 Ss. ;
and South Eastern, ss.

The Foreign and Colonial undertakings have re-
mained in moderate request at about previous quo-
tations.

Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are
dull, bat generally sustain previous prices. Lon-
don and County have improved to 441 Union of
London to 37, London Joint Stock to 37k, and
Crystal Palace Stock to 37k. Oriental Inland
Steam realise 41 5, Royal Mail Steam 63, and
South Australian Land 331. International Finan-
cial Shares are quoted 6 to 61 prem., London Finan-
cial do., 14 to 21 prem., and County do., 2-7-, to 2d
prem.

ing delicate and graceful inscription :—" Marie Piccolomini,

HER MAJESTY.

WINDSOR, CASTLE, June 10.
The Queen, accompanied by Princess Helena,
walked and drove in the grounds this morning.
Princess Helene, Princess Louise, and Prince
Leopold, attended by Lady Augusta Bruce, Hon.
Beatrice Byng, Lord Methuen, Lieutenant General
Hon. C. Grey, Alhjor-General Hon. A. Hood,
Lieutenant-Colonel Hon. D. de Roe, and Mr. Buff,
left Windsor Castle at a quarter past two o'clock
for London, to be present at the ceremony of the
uncovering of the memorial in the Hortieultural-
gardens at South Kensington.
Their royal highnesses proceeded first to Marl-
borough House to join the Prince and Princess of
Wales, Prince Alfred, and Prince Arthur.

The royal family drove from thence to South
Kensington.

The Prince of Wales and Prince Alfred, attended
by Lieutenant-Colonel Keppel, rode om horseback
yesterday morning.
The Princess of Wales took a carriage drive.
The Princesses Helena and Louise and Prince
Leopold arrived at Marlborough House at twenty
minutes past three o'clock yesterday afternoon from
Windsor Castle. Their royal highnesses were at-
tended by Lady Augusta Bruce, the Hon. Beatrice
Byng, Lord Methuen, Lieutenant-General Hon. C.
Grey, Major-General the Hon. A. N. Hood, Lieu-
tenant-Colonel the Hon. de Ros, and Mr. Buff.

Prince Arthur, attended by Major Elphinstone,
afterwaras arrived at Marlborough House.
The Prince of Wales I,tt Marlborough House at
a quarter before tour o'clock to uncover the me-
morial of the Exhibition of 1851, and the statue of
the Prince Consort. His royal highness was ac
companied by the Princess of Wales and other
members of the royal family. The procession was
composed of six dress carriages with an escort of
Life Guards.

In the first carriage were Major Elphinstone,
Lieutenant-Colonel Keppel, Major Cowell, and Mr.
Buff. In the second carriage were the Hon. Robert
H. Meade, Major-General the Hon. A. N. Hood,
and Lieutenant 'Colonel the Hon. D. de Ros. In

Prince Alfred, and Princess Helena.

The Visit of the Prince and Princess of
Wales to Oxford.

Oxford is all astir with preparations for the re-
ception of the Prince and Princess of Wales on the
16th inst. The University authorities, ,the under-
graduates, the town council, and the inhabitants
generally are all making the necessary arrange-
ments, and there is every prospect that the ancient
and loyal city will present a scene of gaiety and
exuberance unparalleled since the installation of
the Duke of Wellington, and scarcely inferior to
the visit, forty-nine years ago, of the Prince Regent,
the Emperor Alexander, the King of Prussia, and
other celebrities. State etiquette, as well as the
traditions of the university, prevented the bestow-
ment of any academical distinction upon his Royal
highness while he was in residence, but the univer-
sity authorities have taken the earliest opportunity
of inviting him to pay a visit to his Alma Mater,
and receive from their hands the highest honour it
is in their power to bestow. The proceedings in
the Sheldonian Theatre, where his Royal Highness
will receive the honorary degree of D.C.L., are,
therefore, being looked forward to with unusual in-
terest. The Earl of Derby, the Chancellor of the
University, and a numerous and distinguished com-
pany, are expected to be present. On the following
day (Wednesday), the Enccenia, or a commemora-
tion of Founders and Benefactors, will take place
in the Theatre, when his Royal Highness, accom-
panied by the Princess of Wales, will take his place
amongst the doctors, and degrees will be conferred
upon several distinguished prsonages, including
the Duke of Newcastle, the Right Hon. Edward
Cardwell, M.P., Sir Hugh Urns, M.P., Sir Saf-
ford Northcote, M.P., Mr. Seymour Fi•zgerald, &c.
A grand collation, given by the University, will
take place in the library of All Souls' College, and
their Royal Highnesses are then expected to pro-
ceed to the Freemasons' fete in Worcester College
gardens. The Prince and Princess will subsequently
witness some University aquatics on the river Isis,
being conveyed from Folly Bridge to the University
barge in a new and handsome boat now in course
of construction by Messrs. Salter, the well-known
boat-builders of Oxford and Wandsworth. Later
in the evening the royal party will be entertained
by the Vice-Chancellor at a grand banquet in
Exeter `college, and will honour with their presence
a grand ball given by the undergraduates of Christ
Church, of which college the Prince of Wales is a
member. A very distinguished circle will be in-
vited to meet their Royal Highnesses at Exeter
College, including the Duke of Cambridge, the
Early of Derby, Mr. Gladstone, the Duke of Buc-
cleuch, and the newly-made doctors. The city is
already fast filling with visitors, and the demand
for lodgings is greater than has been known for
many years.

The Countess of Derby has issued cards for a
select evening party to have the honour to meet their
Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales after
dinner on the 24th inst., on which day their Royal High-
nesses have accepted an invitation to dine with the Earl
and Countess of Derby.
The Prince of Orange honoured the Countess
(Dow.) of Jersey with his presence at dinner on Tuesday,
at her ladyship's residence in Berkeley-square. A distin-
guished circle met his royal highness.
The Prince of Manganelli and Chevalier Rai-
mondo Pettini and suite have arrived at the Brunswick,
Jermyn-street, from Italy.

The Emperor Napoleon's "Life of Csesar is at
last in the printer's hands, the Presse assures us. It will
fill three volumes. The first is ready, the second is in pro-
gress, and both will be published together, The third will
appear afterwards.

CHATTERTON'S PAUPER GRAVE.—More to the
left, on the site now taken up by that dingy, half-
lighted market of Farringdon, provided as an asylum for
the sweet smells and pleasant sights of Fleet Market, until
1825 was the pauper burial-ground of St. Andrew's, Hol-
born. None of our readers can be ignorant of the terribly
truthful picture of a City graveyard drawn by Dickens
in " Bleak House." The spot in question might be
described in the same words. It had nothing to assi-
milate it to our modern fancy cemeteries; a few fee,
of uneven earth, which no careful spade had ever been
at the pains to level; no gravestones, not even a sin-
gle unpointed stake, to indicate the coffin below ; but
here a brick, covered with gro,n mould, and thmre a
cluster of nettles or rank weeds; and, commonly close
under the wall, a deep, open pit, yawning until its full tale
of dead was completed. A few handfuls of rubbish cover
it from notice. A sad tragedy was enacted in this neigh-
bourhood ; and a suicide's grave, dug amidst the moulder-
ing remains of sin, pain, and want, was to confer a dismal
notoriety on this spot which none of its former occupants
had given it. The parish register records----" Aug. 28, 1770.
—William (Thomas) Chatterton [with 'the poet' added
afterwards], interred in the graveyard of Shoo Lane Work-
house." These few words are pregnant with awful inte-
rest, and include with bitter brevity the whole biography of
a gifted but hapless son of genius, who crowded into an
exi> tence of 18 years more of intellectual promise than ever
fell to the lot of one individual in so brief a period.—Lon-
don Scenes and London People.
VISIT OF THE DUKE OF SASE-COBURG TO
VIENNA.—The Ausburg Gazette says :—" Duke
Ernest of Saxe-Coburg will shortly pay a visit to the court
of Vienna, and this journey is generally regarded as sym-
ptomatic of a sudden change in the political ideas which
that court has appeared to share hitherto. It is known
that its marked inclination towards Prussia, the military
convention which it has concluded with that state, and the
decided attitude which it has assumed on many internal
questions, have gradually alienated the court of Vienna
and the coalitation of Wurtsburg. The visit which the
duke paid to Dresden in the month of February was the
first step taken with a view to a union. It is with a feeling
of satisfaction that the duke is now expected at Vienna,
where the importance of his personal influence is justly ap-
preciated."
