METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

There was a fair average supply of foreign stock on offer
in our market to-day; but its general quality was by no
means first-rate. Sales progressed slowly, at about previous
quotations.
The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing
districts, were on the increase, and in good condition. From
Scotland the receipts were large, and of very prime quality ;
but the show of Trish beasts was limited. Nearly all
breeds met a dull inquiry, and, in some instances, prices
ruled 2d per 81bs lower than on Monday last. However,
the best Scots produced 4s 10d; the best Devons, Here-
fords, and short-horns, 4s 6d per 81bs.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 2,200 Scots, crosses, and short-horns ; from other
parts of England, 750 various breeds; from Scotland 600
Scots and crosses; and from Ireland 150 oxen and heifers.
There were rather more sheep on offer, and their general
quality was good. Nearly all breeds were in steady request,
and last week's prices were well supported. The best
Downs in the wool realized Gs ; out of the wool, 5s 2d ; and
shorn Leicesters, &e., 5s per 81bs.
Lambs—the supply of which was moderately extensive
for the time of year—changed hands more freely, at 7s 4d
per 81bs for Dorset and Hampshire, and 8s for Down
breeds.

St. James's Magazine.

A pleasant paper on a very appropriate subject--
" The Wooings and Weddings of our Princes of
Wales," is the first that greets the reader. The
authoress of " Whitefriars" continues her story of
"Madeline Graham" with unabated vivacity. A
paper on "Wind and Weather"is well worth read-
ing, and there are other numerous articles of varying
merits. Among them is the conclusion of the Mexi-
can dory of " The Disinherited," and the second
part of the series on "Royal Favourites," treating
of the nr? worthy associates of one of the most worth-
less of French kings, Henry 111. Oa the whole,
however, this magazine has declined in merit and
interest from its earlier days.

MARKETI

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The money market, which has been gradually
assuming a firmer aspect during the last few days,
is now further influenced by the necessary provi-
sion for the engagements maturing on Wednesday,
the 4th instant. Discounters are proceeding with
greater reserve, and are asking higher terms for
the business they negotiate. The current quotation
for three months' bills in private channels has been
advanced from 32 to 34 per cent., and the difference
between the official minimum and the rates current
elsewhere having been thus reduced to s per cent.,
a larger proportion of the bills now brought for-
ward is negotiated at the Bank of England.
An instalment of 5 per cent. became due to-day
on the last Portuguese Loan.
The accounts from the various manufacturing
districts for the past week are of a less satisfactory
character. At Manchester both cloths and yarns
have been in limited request, and prices have
slightly given way. In the woollen districts, viz.,
Leeds, Bradford, Halifax, and Huddersfield, the
chief operations have been in light spring and
summer goods, at about previous rates. The hosiery
and lace trades of Leicester and Nottingham, how•
ever, have been more active ; while at Birmingham
there has been considerable animation in various
branches, consequent upon the preparations made
for the general illumination on the occasion of the
Prince of Wales' marriage. At Sheffield, Walsall,
and Wolverhampton there has been no change of
importance.

Two O'CLOCK.

At Paris this morning, according to Reuter's
telegram, French Rentes were 70f. 05c., and for
the March account, 70f. 32c.—very firm.
At the first annual meeting to-day of the Unda-
namutana Copper Mining Company, of South
Australia, Mr. George Humby presiding, the re-
port presented to the shareholders for adoption
stated that the mined in the colony wero yielding
a large quantity:of rich ore, and gave every indica-
tion of future abundance. The statement of ac-
counts showed that £43,242 10s. 3d. is available
for present requirements, and that ore of the esti-
mated value of £17,000 had been shipped or was in
course of shipment, and transit to port for this
country, which would consequently augment the
available assets.

Serious readers will be attracted by an account of
"Theology iu Holland," a topic which will not fas-
cinate the generality of magazine readers. " Victor
Hugo" is the subject of a criticism, which, while cen-
suring with due severity the principles and tendency
of his writings, scarcely renders justice to his
genius. The first part of an essay on " Italian
Poetry and Patriotism" discourses on the time and
country of Dante, Arista, and Petrarch. An account
of the " Japanese :Martyrs" gives an interesting
record of the sufferings and death of nearly half a
million Christians. %Ve have also a criticism of the
recent works of Alpine explorers, and some verses
which do not rise above the level of medicrity.

THE ARMY.

The entire staff connected with the Royal Artil-
lery and Royal Engineer hospitals at Brompton
barracks, Chatham, together with the patients and
attendants,vacated the hospitals on Saturday after-
noon and took possession of Fort Pitt Hospital,
which will in future be used as a general hospital
for the entire garrison, on the removal of the Army
Medical School and staff to Netley hospital. A
portion of the hospital hitherto used at Brompton
barracks is still to be retained for the purposes of a
hospital, in vt hich the sick troops will be received
and inspected previous to their removal to Fort
Pitt.

By direction of the Duke of Cambridge, a num-
kr of non•commisEioned officers and men of the
Royal Engineers have bccn selected from the
depot and other companies at headquarters, to join
the 2d and 24th Companies at Aldershott, both of
which are below their proper complement.

costiveness, as a family aperient medicine, and as a purifier
of the blood, they are truly excellent ; mild in their opera-

Sir,—l cannot resist informing you of the extraordinary
effect I have experienced by taking only a few of your
Lozenges. I had a cough for several weeks that defied all
that had been prescribed for me ; and yet I got completely
rid of it by taking about half a small box of your Lozenges,

deranging the stomach or digestive organs.—l am, sir, your

OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE BOAT RACE.
This annual and exciting event is now fixed to take place
on Wednesday, April 1. It having been found by experi-
ence that good light crews cannot compete successfully
with good heavy ones over the London course, the Cantabs
have profited by it, and this year their crew, barring the
coxswain—who is a stone lighter than the Oxford cockswain
—average just over 11 stone, being a few pounds heavier
than the Oxford crew The Oxonians are already in active
training, and on Friday took a long pull to Wallingford,
upwards of 20 miles. Their style and pace were first-rate,
and sufficient of themselves to inspire confidence.
The Cambridge crew has been selected with great care
and judgment, and report speaks highly of their qualities of
skill, power, and stamina. The Oxonians, however, are
the favourites, and at the present time bets of 6 to 4 and 2
to 1 have been freely laid in their favour. The following

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.

Full average supplies of home-grown potatoes are on
sale at these markets; and from continental ports the im-
ports continue on a moderate scale. The trade is still
heavy for all qualities, and for inferior parcels prices rule
in favour of buyers. Last week's import amounted to 110
from Rouen, 32 tons from Harlingen, 60 tons from Dordt,
60 sacks from Dunkirk, 115 bags from Rotterdam, and 10
bags from St. Michael's.

BOROUGH ROP.

Owing to the continued influx of foreign, and especially
American hops, our market remains without improvement,
the demand being still confined to the immediate wants of
the trade. Good and fine qualities are tolerably firm as to
price; otherwise, the quotations have a drooping tendency.
Last week's import amounted to 1,564 bales from New

LONDON, MONDAY, MARCH 2, 1863.

There was a rather sharp discussion on the Navy
Estimates on Thursday evening, which must result
in some public good, if it did Int meet all the re-
qeiroments of hon. gentlemen most conversant with
matters of shipping. The heavy amounts demanded
for wages and repairs excited much, and we think
very deserved, comment from both sides of the
house, for what concerns the Navy belongs
to the independence of the nation, and not to the
especial benefit of either party—no matter which
happens to be in office. The great contest was between
iron and wood for men-of-war nowbuilding or about
to be built. Our experience is as yet but in its in-
fancy as to the working of iron. Its hardness
is allowed, and its efficiency placed beyond doubt as
to durability, but as to its warlike applicability we
are as yet completely at sea. We have had no
proof how far our present ideas or expectations may
be realised. So that until we test its presumed
constructiveness by actual experience, much of our
prophetic assertions must be taken for what they
are worth. So far as we have yet had a fair trial,
matters look well on the whole, but even then we
find constant changes and alterations suggested,
and many of them are deemed indispensable. Indeed,
the theory very seldom results in being established
satisfactorily in practice. How could it be other-
wise? We are embarked in a new undertaking
altogether, and fancy that our experience
in the old must be a proper guide in
the new. And
ch.
an far t ought, but the mistake con-
sists in presuming overmuHence the frequent
mistakes that occal at every step. Argument has
little weight against official authority which too
often presumes on very insufficient knowlege, and
frequently dictates tram the very arrogance of
power much against the public interest.
As iron engrosses public attention at present
almost to the exclusion of anything else in naval
effairs, the debate became more exciting than ever
as to the proposed consti action of five moreships of
wood similar to the Royal Oak and other vessels of
her class. Objection was taken that as iron was
now allowed to be the best material it was next to
useless building more vessels of wood which was 80
liable to decay, whereas iron would last fifty years
at least. The ministerial answer to this was
time and cost. A 8 we had now more wood in stock
than ever, it was considered cheaper to use up that
materiPa than to pay for iron, seeing that the wood

NAVAL ESTIMATES.

Mr. COBDEN gave notice that on going into committee
of supply, he should call attention to the large number of
officers employed in active service.
CORRUPT. PRACTICES AT ELECTIONS.

In reply to an HON. MEMBER,
Sir G. GREY stated that he should not proceed with
this bill after 10 o'clock.
CONVICT PRISONS.

In reply to Mr. DANBY SEYMOUR,
Sir G. GREY stated that he was not aware that the recent
report had not been placed in the hands of all hon. mem-
bers, but he would institute an inquiry.
THE CHINA PRIZE MONEY.

Col. W. STUART asked the Secretary of State for W ar
whether any prize money was coming to the troops en
gaged in the China expedition of 1860, from the sale of
guns, &c., captured from the enemy; and, if so, whether it
was likely soon to be distributed ?
Sir G. C. LEWIS replied that there had been a sale by
auction of these guns, but it was not intended to distribute
any additional prise money.
OUDE.
Mr. TORRENS asked the Secretary of State for India
what steps he proposed to adopt for the adjustment of the
claims of the several parties on the late State of Oude?
Sir C. WOOD replied that an investigation was made
some time ago under the guidance of Mr. Bailie, but some
objections had subsequently been set up against that in-
vestigation by the parties interested, on the ground that
they had no notice of what was about to take place, and
were, therefore, unable to bring forward their claims. The
Government of India intended, therefore, to institute an-
other investigation. •
BUILDING WAR SHIPS IN ENGLAND FOR THE
CONFEDERATES,

Mr. CAIRD asked the Under Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs whether information had been laid before
the Government regarding the preparation in this country
of any ships intended, like the Alabama, for the service of
the Confederate States ; and, if so, what course they in-
tended to adopt in regard to such ships ?
Mr. LAYARD replied that the attention of her Majesty's
Government had been called to more than one vessel which
appeared to be fitting out for the service of the Confederate
States of America ; but as yet no evidence had been ob-
tained by her Majesty's Government to enable it to act in
accordance with the law. Orders, however, had been given
that suspected vessels should be closely watched. (Hear,
hear.)
PRISON MINISTERS' BILL.

Mr. KINNAIRD asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department whether, in order to enable the magi-
strates about to assemble in quarter sessions, and others
interested in the management of prisons, to consider the
provisions of the Prison Ministers Bill, he would postpone
the second reading till after Easter ?
Sir G. GREY replied, if a general desire was expressed
by gentlemen connected with quarter sessions that the bill
should be postponed until after Easter, it was not ina -
probable that he should accede to their request, but as
yet he had received no communications of the kind. He
was, however, unwilling to postpone the bill to a distant
period ; in the meantime he should defer the second reading
untill Monday fortnight,

THE ARMY.

The entire staff connected with the Royal Artil-
lery and Royal Engineer hospitals at Brompton
barracks, Chatham, together with the patients and
attendants,vacated the hospitals on Saturday after-
noon and took possession of Fort Pitt Hospital,
which will in future be used as a general hospital
for the entire garrison, on the removal of the Army
Medical School and staff to Netley hospital. A
portion of the hospital hitherto used at Brompton
barracks is still to be retained for the purposes of a
hospital, in a hich the sick troops will be received
and inspected previous to their removal to Fort
Pitt.

By direction of the Duke of Cambridge, a num-
ber of noncommissioned officers and men of the
Royal Engineers have been selected from the
depot and other companies at headquarters, to join
the 2d and 24th Companies at Aldershott, both of
which are below their proper complement.

.Eraser's Magazine.

Fraser is this month hardly so interesting as
usual, though there is no lack of variety in the con-
tents. We have the continuation of "Wanderings in
West Africa," which is entertaining enough i❑ its
descriptions of the wild races of the interior, and
the numerous anecdotes with which it is inter-
spersed. The story Of " A First Friendship" is
brought to a melancholy conclusion by the death of
Rutter. The shipwreck which brings the treacher-
ous Victorire to look upon the corpse of him she
had wronged and forsaken is more dramatic than
probable. A dissertation on law and lawyers is
somewhat tedious, though there is a good deal of
truth in its remarks, which however leave un-
touched many of the greatest evils connected with
the legal profession. We have further on a paper
on a diametrically opposite subject—a chapter on
Innocents! It gives us many curious and interest-
ing anecdotes of that singular class, from the pa-
thetic story of poor Meg Guffaw to the " naturals,"
whose sharp retorts were found so formidable by
pompous preachers and moralists. We have most
of us heard the story of the "daft" lad who was cited
as an example to a sleepy congregation by the indig-
nant minister, who told them that " even Jamie, the
idiot, did not sleep as they wire doing," Jamie quietly
replied, " An' I hadna been an idiot, I should ha'
been sleeping' too ! ' It is remarked as explanatory
of the disappearance of this class in the present day
that the world has outlived them, and in accord-
ance to the law which regulates demand and sup-
ply, their occupation being gone, they have disap-
peared. How far this reasoning bolls good with
the human race, may be questioned ; a more proba-
ble solution of the matter being that in the present
day such characters would be committed to the poor-
house, where, as the writer observes, " they
would pine and die, for freedom was as
necessary to them as light to the flowers,"

Serious readers will be attracted by an account of
" Theology in Holland," a topic which will not fas-
cinate the generality of magazine readers. " Victor
Hugo" is the subject of a criticism,which, while nen'
curing with due severity the principles and tendency
of his writings, scarcely renders justice to his
genius. The first part of an essay on "
Poetry and Patriotism" discourses on the time and
country of Dante, Aristo, and Petrarch. An account
of the " Japanese Martyrs" gives an interesting
record of the sufferings and death of nearly half
million Christians. We have also a criticism of the
recent works of Alpine explorers, and some verse;
which do not rise above the level of medicrity.

BOROUGH HOP.

Owing to the continued influx of foreign, and especially
American hops, our market remains without improvement,
the demand being still confined to the immediate wants of
the trade. Good and fine qualities are tolerably firm as to
price ; otherwise, the quotations have a drooping tendency.
Last week's import amounted to 1,564 bales from New
York, 13 Antwerp, 64 Boulogne, 177 Bremen, and 20
Hamburg.

The telegrams received on Saturday and yesterday give a
favourable view of the health of Prince Alfred.

That of Saturday, dated Malta, 10.30 a.m., announced
that the Prince had passed another good night, and was
going on fairly.
Yesterday the telegram received was dated Malta, 11
a.m. It is stated that the Prince was going on favour.
ably, but was still very weak. He had passed a comfortable
night.

THAMES.

Henry Smith, a sailor, was charged with robbing a
brother tar. He went to the Sailors' Home, and after
going in for a short time he attempted to leave, when it was
discovered he had stolen a coat. The magistrate said it
was a disgraceful robbery, and sent him to prison for 10
days with hard labour. The coat was restored to its
owner.

Mr. E. M. Ward will probably send to the Royal
Academy two pictures ; one having for subject the
Toilet of Charlotte Corday before her execution. She is
shown seated, contemplating the portrait painted of her by
M. Huer ; behind stands the gaoler who cuts off her hair.
The other picture represents the Foundlings's visit to
Hogarth's studio. The children are looking at the portrait
of their benefactor, Captain Coram, now in the hospital,
which the painter is presumed to have recently completed.
Hogarth, his wife,and the Captain are introduced watching
the effect upon the little ones, who crowd round with various
expressions of interest in the work.

TEETH.-By MR. ESKELL'S INVENTION
(Royal Seal granted 17th July, 1860), Sets or partial
Sets of Teeth, exquisitely enamelled to nature, are made and
fitted in a few hours by means of his patented soft elastic and
imperishable base of the colour of the gum, to which it ad-
heres with wonderful tenacity, dispensing with springs or
unsightly fastenings, and defying detection by the closest
observer. The peculiar attribute of Mr. Eskell's invention
is, the readiness with which these teeth can be re-adapted to
any change of the mouth (even by the wearer); and as they
act independently of all disturbing causes which affect teeth
of ordinary construction, they are guaranteed tc. last a life
time, as well as for mastication and articuls tion. Mr.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.

Full average supplies of home-grown potatoes are on
sale at these markets; and from continental ports the im-
ports continue on a moderate scale. The trade is still
heavy for all qualities, and for inferior parcels prices rule
in favour of buyers. Last week's import amounted to 110
from Rouen, 32 tons from Harlingen, 50 tons from Dordt,
60 sacks from Dunkirk, 115 bags from Rotterdam, and 10
bags from St. Michael's.

NAVAL COAST VOLUNTEER ACT AMENDMENT
BILL.

The Duke of SOMERSET moved the second reading
of this bill. The noble earl said there were now in
the naval reserve force 28,000, and in another year
there would be upwards of 30,000. (Hear, hear.) There
was, however, one drawback, namely, that a great number
of the men were enlisted under a provision that they were
not to be sent further than 300 miles from their own dis-
tricts. This was a circumstance which presented a
great inconvenience, and the object of the present
bill was to enable the men to be enlisted hereafter
without that regulation. Such a step might at first cause
a small diminution, but ultimately it would result in a
great advantage to the service.
The Earl of HARD WICKE said the object of the naval
reserve was to have a large number of men ready for ser-
vice, and who were not to be taken a long way from their
homes. He was afraid that the first measure would look
rather disadvantageous than otherwise.
That could

On the motion of Mr. STANLEY, the following return
was ordered :—Return from the several unions in North
Wales, giving the population at the last census ; the num-
ber of paupers in receipt of relief in each union according
to the latest return to the Poor Law Board ; the rate per
cent. of paupers according to the population, and the rate
in the pound on the poor rate valuation for each -union for
the last five years, stating those unions that have a work-
house and those without.

ADMIRALTY.—THE DEVONPORT ELECTION.
Mr. FERRAND gave notice that on Tuesday next he
should ask the Secretary of the Admiralty whether shortly
previous to the recent Devonport election the First Naval
Lord received a deputation of dockyard men com-
plaining of the restriction of promotion after 45
years of age; and whether he did not promise that the
subject would have his attention immediately after the elec-
tion, and that if, on inquiry, the system was found inju-
rious to the service, it should be rescinded. Also, whether,
on inquiry, the authorities of the dockyard reported in
favour of an amendment ; and whether the noble lord
would have any objection to lay all the papers on the table
of the house ?
