CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The discount market remains in a steady position,
and any material change is scarcely looked for until
the payment of the July dividends.
The last week's railway receipts ascertained up
to this day are in round figures as under :-

These returns again show a falling off in several of
the principal lines. On the Great Western there is a
decrease of £2,737, on the South Western of £3,968,
on the Brighton of £1,468, on the South-Eastern
of £1,685, and on the Bristol and Exeter of £433.
The North-Western, however, exhibits an increase
of £606, the Midland of £4,697, the Lancashire and
Yorkshire of £l,BOB, the North-Eastern of £2,501,
and the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln of
£1,414.

One of the latest undertakings introduced to the
notice of the investing classes is the Torquay Hotel
Company, with a proposed capital of £70,000, in
shares of £lO each, of which, however, it is pro-
bable that not more than two thirds will be re-
quired for the immediate objects in view. It is
brought forward under favourable auspices, and as
the locality is one of great attraction, and additional
accommodation is requisite, there is every reason to
believe that the expectations of the promoters will
be fully realised. The prospectus refers to the
large increase of visitors, both in winter and sum-
rUer, and the especial advantages which such an
establishment would at once secure. A very eligible
site, upon which the residence of Colonel Meyrick
now stands, has been obtained, commanding sea
views, and provisional arraneements have been
made with the proprietor of the Royal Hotel,
whereby the company will be placed in immediate
Possession of a valuable connection and lucrative
business on favourable terms.

Another parcel of gold, amounting to £54,000,
was taken into the Bank yester ay.

The dollars by the last Mexican packet have been
sold at ss. 21,d. per oz., showing a fall of sd. from
the price obtained for the former supply.

At a meeting to-day of the Canada Company, the
directors proposed a division of per share, free
of income tax, payable on the 10th July. Mr.
tiddalph occupied the chair, and on introducing
to the notice of the meeting the report issued by
the directors, stated that large arrears were due to
the company for rent, and that proceedings were
being taken by the commissioners in the colony to
recover the claims. Advices had been received by
the last mail, which stated that after the harvest the
Prospects of which were very encouraging
the agents anticipated the payment of the greater
portion of the debt. No discoveries of oil springs
had yet been made upon the company's lands, and
should such discovery take place the company would
be entitled to claim additional rental. The corn•
Missioners were preparing and collating materials
for the issue of a new pamphlet, which, as soon as
ready, will be published. The directors had secured
offices on the site lately occupied by the old East
India Company at a rental which would effect a
saving of £250 a year. A vote of thanks to the
Chairman and directors concluded the proeeedings.

Following immediately on the visit paid by the
Prlnce and Princess of Wales to the Duke and
Duchess of Buecleuch, their royal highnesses yester-
day evening honoured the Earl and Countess of
Derby with their presence at a grand dinner and
ball, given in honour of the prince and princess by
the noble earl and countess at their mansion in
St. James's-square.

Their royal highnesses, who were accompanied by
the Countess do Grey and Lieut.-Colonel Keppel,
arrived shortly after eight o'clock, and were met on
alighting from their carriage by the Earl of Derby,
when the noble earl conducted their royal high-
nesses to the apartment in which the guests invited
to meet them had assembled. The band of the Gre-
nadier Guards played the National Anthem on the
arrival of the prince and princess.
The party invited to meet the prince and princess
comprised the Duke of Sutherland, the Duke of
Manchester, the Duke of Hamilton, the Duke of St.
Albans, the Marquis and Marchioness of Bath, the
Marquis of Exeter, the Earl and Lady Constance
Grosvenor, the Earl and Countess of Malmesbury,
the Hon. Colonel and Lady Emma Talbot, and the
Hon. F. Stanley.
The tables and sideboards presented a handsome
display of ornamental plate, principally the gold
cups and racing prizes won by the present earl and
his grandfather. In the centre of the dining table,
conspicuously prominent, was the magnificent gold
candelabrum presented to the 12th Earl of Derby,
grandfather of the present peer, by the deputy •
lieutenants of Lancashire on the occasion of the 50th
anniversary of his lord-lieutenancy of the county.
During the dinner the military band in an ad-
joining room performed a varied selection of music.
Later in the evening the Countess of Derby had
a dance, at which a very select circle, not exceeding
150 members of the aristocracy, were present.

The company who had the honour to be invited
to the evening party were shown to the drawing.
room at the end of the suite of saloons.

The north drawing-room, the most spacious apart-
ment in the suite, was arranged for dancing, Messrs.
Coot() and Tinney's band being engaged.
Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cam-
bridge and Princess Mary, attended by Lady
Augusta Cadogan and Captain P. Cust, came early.
His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge and
his Royal Highness the Count de Paris were among
her ladyship's visitors after dinner. Their Serene
Highnesses Prince and Princess Edward of Saxe-
W eimar were also among the company.

11r. P. Smith was called to give evidence as to the capa-
city of deceased to make a will, and was of opinion that he
was quite capable of doing so when the instrument was
executed.

Mrs. Ledbel ter, the nurse who attended to the testator up
to the time of his death, said that Mr. Mayer always ap-
peared to be quite collected. lie took food up to the hour
of his death. She gave him milk and water, with bread
crumbs in it. She had seen the servants give him a spoon-
ful of sherry in some water. The doctor who attended him
always mixed the wine before he left him for the night.
The night before his death Mr. Abingdon was with Mr.
Mayer, who was then suffering great pain, and young Mr.
Abingdon went to the druggist to get something from him
to allay it. The pain was ♦ery uncertain in its attacks.
Mr. Mayer did not appear near his death on the day he died.
He was very ill, but death was not expected that day. About
two months before his death he was very much concerned
about a nest of throstles (thrushes) which he had in his
garden. He regretted the loss very much, and Mr. Wedg-
wood brought two old ones, which were put in a cage and
placed near the place the nest used to be. She did not
notice more particularly that the day before his death a
large number of letters were lying on his table unopened.
Ann Faire said she lived in Mr. Mayer's service for 1.1
years before his death. She recollected the last witness
coming to wait on him. She saw Mr. Mayer frequently
before his death, and he always appeared quite right in his
mind.

The Grand Stand Stakes of 5 sous each, with 50 added
from the Grand Stand, for 2-yr-olds and 3-yr-olds ;

31b ; the winner of the Tyro or the North Derby, or any
other stake before starting value 200 sows to carry 41b
extra. The winner to pay 5 guineas towards expenses.

By Mr. Chambers—She gave him his food. Ho got
worse and worse, and died on a Thursday. He was very
bad a week before his death. She did not recollec► seeing
old Mr. Abingdon there at that time. He never went into
Mr. Mayer's bedroom without he was invited up, Mr.
Abingdon called frequently, and appeared very
anxious about Mr. Mayer a week before his
death. Mr. .Astle called once and saw Mr. Mayer.
On the Tuesday before his death, Mr. Mayer sent for Mr.
Abingdon, junior, and he slept in the house until he (Mr.
Mayer) died. She had never told any persons when they
called that Mr. Mayer was not in a state to do business.
He was able tos do writing business. She had seen him
write before his death, but he was not propped up with pil-
lows. He was not able to attend to business a week before
his death. She did not know that during that time
he was attending to business, because she left the room.

By the Judge--Weakness of body prevented him doing
any business. He perfectly understood everything that
passed,
Wm, Chester, gardener to the testator, said he always
went of a morning to his master's bedroom to receive orders,
Up to the day before his death Mr. Mayer gave him direc-
tions the same as usual, and always appeared to understand
everything he said.
The case is not expected to conclude to-day.

This was an action to recover 2s. 10d. under circum-
stances of considerable importance to persons receiving re-
turned goods. It appeared that defendant sent a parcel of
boots to a customer in Maidstone named Marchmont, and
Marchmont, after examining them, refused to accept them
from the plaintiff, but returned them to defendant. The
goods were taken to defendant's warehouse, and he, after
the delivery, refused to pay more than is. 6d., the carriage
from Maidstone.

Prologue,cut out the work to the three• quarter mile post,
where Carbineer took up the running. At the half distance
he was reached by Caller Ou, who won cleverly by a head,
a head between the second and third, a bad fourth, Poly-
nesia was fifth..

From the result of the race, it will be seen that
the decision of the judge and the prophecy of "A
Fresh Man," in The Sun, very nearly agree ; as our
correspondent actually named the first three horses
in the race, a circumstance never known to have
been done in a large handicap by any prophet
before. An instance nearly similar occurred
with a celebrated sporting nobleman (was it not
Lord George Bentinek ?) who, for a very large bet,
undertook to place every horse as they passed the
post. When the race was over it was found that
the noble lord had won, as the horse he named came
in first, the rest of the field being distanced.

The following appeared in The Sun of Monday,
June 15:—

" Although the Northumberland Plate stands for deci-
sion next week, no demonstration of any importance has
yet been made in favour of any of the horses engaged, as
much as 10 to 1 being still offered on the field. At present
I can see nothing with more formidable pretensions to carry
off this rich stake than the three top weights, namely,
Carbineer, Caller Ou, and Adventurer, giving the prefer-
ence to the former, as I cannot forget his gallant struggle
with Tim Whiffler in the Gold Vase at Ascot last year,
where ' Tim' only beat Carbineer by a short head."

Defendant pointed out to-day that the sum in dispute
was but ls, 4d., but he did not see why he should be called
upon to pay this, because it was not his debt. Mr. March-
mont had opened the package, or he could not have told
whether the goods were equal to the sample. If Mr.
Marchmont chose to open the package, it was clear he was
liable to pay the carriage.
A person who appeared for the company said that the
consignee at Maidstone refused to receive the goods, and
directed the company to take them back to defendant. The
company's carrier told defendant that there was carriage to
pay, and defendant said he would pay it.
His Honour—The company have a lien upon the goods,
and they are entitled to hold them until they are satisfied.
You (defendant) have received the parcel with all its liabi•
lities, and if you have any claim for the ls. 4d. it is rather
against your customer at Maidstone than plaintiffs, who are
entitled to a verdict, with costs.
Verdict fur plaintiffs.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

And again in his final notes on Tuesday last,
after discarding the claims of Polynesia and Stanton,
the two first favourites, he concluded his letter as
follows :

THAMES.

If I place them in the following order I think I shall not
bo far from the mark :
CARBINEER
CALLER 011
LOTHIAN'S KING

PLATE ROBBERY BY AN AREA SNEAR.—Thomas
Tyer, a well-known thief, was brought before Mr. Wool-
rych, charged with stealing four tablespoons, three dessert-
spoons, three forks, a pair of sugar-tongs, two saltspoons,
and six teaspoons, all silver, and valued at about SIO, from
the residence of Mr. Kiddill, a builder, of No. 11, Adding-
ton-road, Bow-road.

On Monday last, between the hours of 11 and half-past
one o'clock the kitchen of Mr. Kiddill's residence was
entered in the temportry absence of the servant, and the
plate above mentioned stolen from a •cupboard. The
kitchen window had been incautiously left open, and the
thief had no difficulty in obtaining an entrance. Suspicion
fell upon the prisoner who is a well known "area
sneak," and another man of the same character, and whose
pursuits are similar. The prisoner and his confederate were
seen near Mr. Kiddill's house before the robbery, and the
prisoner was seen coming away from the direction of the
Addington-road. He was taken into custody yesterday
afternoon in a place called Gloucester-gardens, Bethnal-
green. Police Sergeant Pullen, No. 10 K, a detective
officer, said the prisoner was a well known thief, and had
been already convicted.
Two witnesses identified the prisoners, and it was stated
that if he was remanded other evidence would be forth-
coming.
Inspector Kerressey, ano heard of the robbery a few
minutes after it was committed, had sent police-constables
in all directions in search of the thieves and the property,
but their efforts were unsuccessful, and it is feared the plate
has been melted down.

_
The prisoner denied all participation in the robbery, and
said he was not in or near the Addington-road on Monday
last.

Thus following up the great hit he also made on
The Derby, when he placed three out of the first
four, as well as naming the winner of The Oaks.

DUEL BETWEEN M. RATTAZZI AND M. MING-
HETTI.—A Turin letter of June 21, in the Opinion
Nationale, gives the following account of this duel, which
was incorrectly reported to have been stopped by the inter-
ference of the King :—" M. Minghetti, notwithstanding
the explanations made in the Chamber yesterday by M.
Sella, having declared that he could not retract the words,
It is false, most false,' which he uttered in reply to as-
sertions of M. Rattazzi, a meeting became inevitable. Yes-
terday evening at eight o'clock, M. Tecchio and General
Malenchini, seconds chosen by M. Rattazzi, waited upon
M. Minghetti's friends, Gen. Cialdiniand Prince Simonetta.
The latter, having the choice of arms, decided that the duel
should be fought with cavalry sabres. M. Rattazzi, who had
never had a sabre in his hand in his life took two fencing
lessons with that arm in the course of the day. M.
Minghetti was nearly as unskilled as his adversary. At
five o'clock this morning MM. Tecchio and Malenchini,
Dr. Spirino, and M. Rattazzi went to Stupingi, the place
chosen for the rencontre. They found MM. Cialdini,
Simonetta, and Minghetti already on the ground. The two
first passes produced no result. M. Rattazzi seemed to fight
with desperation, while M. Minghetti appeared more anxious
to defend himself than to attack. At the third assault M.
Rattazzi was slightly wounded in the right arm, a little be-
low the shoulder. Notwithstanding this wound he continued
to fight, but after the fourth assault Gen, Cialdini and the
other seconds put an end to the contest. It does not appear
that MM. Minghetti and Rattazzi were reconciled after their
duel."

The Milan Gazette btates that two remarkable
frescos have just been discovered in the church of St, Satire
in that city. One of them is the work of Borgognonce,
and the other appears to have been painted by Guardi.

The half-yearly award of commissions and dis-
tribution of prizes to the gentlemen cadets of the
Royal Military Academy, by the Duke of Cambridge
(in accordance with previous examination by the
Council of Military Education), took place yester-
day afternoon in the Gymnasium at the rear of the
institution, in the presence of a large number of
military officers, professors, and masters of the
academy, and relatives and friends of the students.
The several classes of cadets assembled on the lawn
fronting the building at half-past two o'clock, with i
the Royal Artillery band, and carried out a series
of manual and platoon exercises in a highly credi-
table manner. At half-past three a salute from a
battery of artillery announced the arrival of his royal
highness and his staff. The line of gentlemen cadets
having been inspected front and rear, they marched
past at slow and quick time, and subsequently
carried out various evolutions. The cadets then
marched in companies to the Gymnasium, and
formed into square near the table which contained
the numerous prizes for presentation. The pro-
ceedings commenced by Major General Hamilton
reading the report of the Council of Military Edu-
cation, which stated that of 44 cadets of the first
class, 42 had been found qualified for commissions
in the Royal Artillery and Royal Engineers. 12
commissions in the Royal Engineers had been an-
nounced ; the 12 senior cadets en the list having
elected for that service, the remainder were recom-
mended for commissions in the Royal Artillery.

In the first class, the examiner in fortifications,
field works, and bridges, considered the result
very satisfactory, every one of the cadets having
obtained a higher credit than half the total num-
ber in the minimum course, and the nature
of the answers showed that the subjects had
been carefully studied. The examiner in
chemistry reported the results to be on the
whole satisfactory. In the second class, the progress
in German and other subjects of study had been
satisfactory. In the third class, the progress had
also been very satisfactory. In Hindostani, the
grammatical questions had been fairly answered,
and considerable progress had been made in draw-

ing. Col. Yorke, R.E., then read a report from
Major-Gen. Sandham, Lieutenant-Governor of the
Acadmy, which stated that the whole of the first
class, who had just been under examination, were
fully qualified for commissions, as regards conduct,
discipline, and proficiency in military exercises.
The number of marks gained by each cadet for for-
tifications, mathematics, and other branches of study,
as certified by the Council of Military Eitication.
