CELEBRATION of the TERCENTENARY of
the BIRTH of SHAKSPEARE, at Stratford-upon-
Avon. The Tercentenary Committee (of which Sir Robert
N. C. Hamilton, Bart., K.C.8., is Chairman) are now receiv-
ing SUBSCRIPTIONS, and they may also be paid to the
account of the Tercentenary Committee, at the Stourbridge
and Kidderminster or Warwick and Leamington Banks,
Stratford-upon-Avon ; Messrs. Greenway, Smith, and
Greenway, Warwick ; or their London agents, Messrs.
Smith, Payne, and Co , Messrs Hanburys and Co., or Messrs.
Glyn and Co , bankers, London.

The Tercentenary Committee, in submitting the subscrip-
tion list to the nation, most earnestly appeal to the admirers
of Shakspeare for their aid and. assistance. The Committee
rest their claims upon the ground that Stratford is not only
the birthplace of Shakspeare, but the centre of attraction to
all admirers of the great Poet's works, and that it was his
home, the town he loved, and where he lived and died.

in the immediate vicinity of the Great Northern Rail-
way Terminus, at Ring's-cross.

Patron—The QUEEN.
President—The Duke of BUCCLEUCH, K.G.
Treasurer—Edward Masterman, Esq.
This was the first hospital to introduce the principle of free
and instant admission to the destitute sick, without the for-
mality of governors' letters. It is entirely devoted to desti-
tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is accom-
panied by sickness and disease, ad is now of sufficient
magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered
the
capa
casual sick of thble (A admitting
is into its wards a very large proportion of
great metropolis. It reuires but the
funds in order to have 500 beds available for theq reception of
these the most wretched of our fellow-creatures. Moreover,
it gratuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more,
on the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week.
The Weekly Board feel it their imperative duty to make an
EARNEST APPEAL to the public for continued suppcirt,
to enable them to admit and relieve the distressing cases that
daily present themselves.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Although the available supplies of money are
ample for all immediate demands, bankers and
brokers still enforce full terms, while by a conces-
sion of or per cent, they could divert a large
amount of business which is now taken to the Bank
of England.

The Bank of England return, completed to Wed-
nesday last, shows some important features. The
1
()an and dicJunt operations have been largely
augmented by the increased demand RA. accommo •
dation not only upon commercial bills, but also
upon Government Securities, the authorities now
making their usual quarterly advances. The addi-
tion to the bullion is small when compared with
the quantities recently sent in ; 'but the accummu-
lation is nevertheless making steady progress, and
will ultimately contribute to a decline in the
luininautti quotation. Annexed are the particulars:—

Business in the Foreign and Colonial Produce
Markets during the last few days has been rather
dull ; higher prices, however, have been realised
for the new season's crop of tea, while sugar, coffee,
rice, and fruit have barely sustained former quota-
tions. In saltpetre there has been a moderate
business negotiated, while the tallow market has
continued very dull, and prices have shown less
firmness for both present and forward delivery.

RE HUNTER AND FERRIS.-HEAVY FAILURE.

This was an adjourned exaamination meeting of these
bankrupts, who were alkali manufacturers in Mark-lane
The debts are about £15,000.
Mr. Linklater now applied that the bankruptcy should be
annulled by the consent of creditors, £5,000 assets having
been received, to pay 7s. in the pound to the creditors ; and I
both bankrupts had entered into an undertaking to pay the,
separate creditors 7s. 6d. in the pound.

His Honour deemed this a satisfactory arrangement, and
the proceedings in bankruptcy were therefore annulled.

IN RE JONES

This bankrupt was a grocer, at Brompton, and this was
a dividend meeting.

The debts amount to £1,201, and through the exertions of
Mr. Sidney Chidley assets have been realized by which the
creditors will be paid a dividend of 2s. 6d. in the pound.

THAMES.

LATE SITTINGS AND DELAYS.—Mr. Partridge took his
seat on the bench this day, at thirty-three minutes past 11
o'clock ; yesterday he commenced the business at twenty-
five minutes before 12. The delays and inconvenience
to suitors and the public generally in consequence of the
manner in which the business of this Court has been lately
conducted has created unusual indignation. On Tuesday
last Mr. Wcolrych began to hear the applications at 11,
and then proceeded with the night charges and
remands. There were very few criminal cases this
day ; and, at twelve o'clock, he adjourned the
Court for two hours, to the great annoyance of
complainants, defendants, and witnesses attending on sum-
monses. In consequence of the late hour at which the
magistrate commenced business, the court did not rise
until half-past six o'clock one evening last week, en an-
other evening at half-past seven, and or, a third at half-past
eight. The Act of Preeliament for regulating the police
courts of the metropolis, states that one of the said magis-
trates shall attend the police courts on every day, except
Sunday, Christmas-day, Good Friday, or any day appointed
for a public fast or thanksgiving, from ten until five, and at
such other times as urgent necessity may require.
The Act of Parliament has been obeyed at the Bow -street
and the Worship-street Police Courts, but since Mr. Selfe
left this court for Westminster no business has been pro-
ceeded with until 11 o'clock. It has been sometimes 12
o'clock, and later, before the night charges have been pro-
ceeded with by Mr. Woolrych, and the police have been
kept out of their beds. The people in the court complained
bitterly of the want of punctuality on the part of the magi-
strateoir o

majority of the metropolitan police magistrates cannot rise
early enough to take their seats before 11, half-past 11, and
12 o'clock.

The number of night charges this day are below the
average. There are three remanded cases to be heard, and
19 summonses, besides what the day is likely to turn up
from the docks and the district generally.

A small yacht named the Souris has just been
constructed for the service of the Prince Imperial in the
Waters of Biarritz. The vessel is commanded by Lieut,

£16,480 in cash have been paid in rewards. The Institu-
tion has also expended £67,100 on Life-boats, Life-boat
Transporting-carriages, and Boat-houses.
The Committee desire to express their grateful sense of
the generous support which they have received from the
British public during the past few years, a support which
has enabled them to establish their present magnificent fleet
or 123 Lifeboats on the shores of the United Kingdom
Deeply sensible, however, of the great responsibility that
rests on them to maintain their fleet in a thoroughly efficient
state, and its Crews practised in the managetnent of their
boats, whi ii can only be effected by a large and permanent
annual income, they earnestly appeal to all classes of their
countrymen to aid them in upholding and perpetuating so
great and truly national a work.

BOROUGH HOP.

Picking is now general, and the result so far is satisfac-
tory. A few parcels continue to arrive at market, and the
quotation is £5 to £7 per cwt. For yearling and old hops
the trade is in a sluggish state at late rates.

COLONIAL.
TEA.--At the public sales the business for the finer de-
scriptions of the new crop has been active, and prices have
slightly advanced, the quotations for good congou being
2e. Old. to 2s. o/d. per lb.
SUGAR.—The market has been rather dull, and little
alteration can be reported on prices, the sales of West
India having been on a very limited scale. In the refined
market the operations have also been restricted. Common
lumps are quoted 455. per cwt.
COFFEE.—There has been a fair demand for Colonial,
without any material alteration to notice in prices.
Rica.—Only a limited amount of business has been done,
and quotations in some instances are rather lower.
SALTPETRE.--A moderate inquiry has prevailed for East
Indian of good quality, at fully late rates.
TALLOW.—The operations for both present and forward
delivery have again been of the most limited character, and
quotations are with difficulty maintained. P.Y.C. on the

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A NICE FELLOW FOR THE ARMY.—THE REGULA-
TION AS TO WEARING THE BELL—Two privates of the
Ist battalion of Coldstream Guards, named James Hall
and John Blay, were charged before Mr. Knox with steal-
ing an umbrella from a female named Ellen Holmes, in
Oxford-street.

It appears that the female was passing along Oxford-
street, when, seeing a crowd assembled in consequence of
some' altercation going on, she stepped into the midst of
the persons collected. The soldiers then pushed her, and
one of them struck her in the mouth. They then took
her umbrella from her and walked off with it. She fol-
lowed them for some distance and spoke to the police. On
the constables going up to the soldiers the umbrella was
thrown on the pavement, and the soldiers took off their
belts. Blay then struck Joseph Watt-, 30 D, with his
belt, and Hall struck Ball, 378 D, with his fist. The sol-
diers were then taken to the station.
Sergeant Meyer, of the Ist battalion of Coldstream
Guards, handed Mr. Knox a certifieate to the effect that on
the 14th of June, 1856, Hall was convicted of theft, and
on the 17th December, 1860, was convicted for a misde-
meanour, and sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment. He
had also been convicted, and sentenced to 42 days' hard
labour for insubordination, and been several other times
tried by court-martial. Blay had also been tried seven
times by court-martial for military offences.
Mr. Knox—How is it that such a man as that is kept in
the army. It strikes me that he is a very unfit man. There
are two convictions against him by the civil power, and a
batch of offences tried by court-martial. Notwithstanding
their bad character, I do not think there is sufficient evi-
dence to convict of stealing the umbrella. With regard to
the assaults on the constable, what do you wish to say ?
Hall—l am sorry, I did not use my belt.
Mr. Knox—What is the regulation with regard to the
belt ?

Sergeant Meyer—When a man is convicted of an assault,
his belt is taken from him, and he is not allowed to wear it
again till permission is granted by the commanding officer.
Mr. Knox—l shall make a difference in the sentence of
the prisoners. I shall commit Blay for two months' hard
labour for the assault on the constable with his belt, and
Hall for six weeks, with hard labour, as he did not use his
belt.

RE HUNTER AND FERRIS.-HEAVY FAILURE,

This was an adjourned exaamivation meeting of these
bankrupts, who were alkali manufacturers in Mark-lane
The debts are about £15,000.

Mr. Lioklater now applied that the bankruptcy should be
annulled by the consent of creditors, £5,000 assets having
been received, to pay 7s. in the pound to the creditors ; and
both bankrupts had entered into an undertaking to pay the
separate creditors 7s. 6d. in the pound.

.His Honour deemed this a satisfactory arrangement, and
the proceedings in bankruptcy were therefore annulled.

IN RE JONES

This bankrupt was a grocer, at Brompton, and this was
a dividend meeting.

The debts amount to £1,201, and through the exertions of
Mr. Sidney Chidley assets have been realized by which the
creditors will be paid a dividend of 2s. 6d. in the pound.

There are adepts in this peculiar department of what may
be literally styled the literature of art. They are as erudite
as skilful. The majority of amateurs--especially the fashion-
able sort, who are the majority—though they may have or
come to have a more or less sincere love of art for art's sake,
are most superficial, extrinsic connoisseurs. Their first
ordinary question is, before venturing to bid, " Is it signed ?"
The vendor is 'able to answer this question affirmatively
oftener than he otherwise could, thanks to the professional
monogrammatist. This counterfeiter has made a special
study of signatures, not only materially of their i dottings
and t crossings, but historically of their variations at diffe-
rent epochs. Thus he knows, and practices in accordance
with his knowledge, that Hobbema signed his large pieces
with christian and family name in lull; others simply M.
Hobbema, others still Hobbema ; that the letters should be
small, irregular, greyish in colour, not too well formed nor
too prominent, generally in the middle foreground on the
ground, and not in the right or left hand corners, rather
indistinct, and without date. Rembrandt should be in the
left not the right corner, in bitumen, with a long-tailed R
if in full, Rembrandt van Ryn, then the date should be
affixed. A Proudhon, done before he went to Italy, should
be signed in capitals P. P. P. ; after that epoch, and ac-
eording to circumstances, Prud'hon, or Pierre Paul
Prud'hon, the letters traced as if with a tremulous hand.
This matter of signatures is curiously insisted on by vir-
tuosi, even in cases that admit no question of authenticity.
I know a Diaz, most marked with his marked manner of 10
years ago—so far superior to his present generation—but
by some accident not signed, sold in 1859 for 400fs. cheer-
fully signed next day by the master, and resold next year
for COOL to the same man whose bid was arrested a twelve-
month before at 340 f. The next best proof of worth after
high birth is good social connection. Next to signatures
come seals. " You observe, gentlemen," remarks the ex-
pert, as he hands the dubious Corregio to the commission-
aire, "that the seal on the back of the frame shows this to
have come from the gallery of Cardinal Fesch." And al-
though it is as plain as any possible combination of pike
staves or hand spikes that his eminence's paler? never
could have warehoused all the works attributed to that
magazine, it is as true as history and the laws of trade that
any one work with such sealing-wax proof of respectable
local habitation and associate name sells 5, 10, 20 per cent.
higher than though it lacked the cardinal's hat in red wax.

LONDON, FRIDAY, SEPT. 4, 1863.

The treatment of little children in this our own
country is fast becoming one of the most bitter
anxieties to every true philanthropist. Never in
any age or in any land was child-murder known to
be so frequently perpetrated. One of the last, as
it was also one of the most laudable, acts of the
late Mr. THOMAS DUNCOMBE—for so many years
the independent representative of the great metro-
olitan borough of Finsbury—was the procuring of
return (duly laid upon the table of the House of
Commons shortly before the death of the hon.
member who had asked for it)—an appalling return,
comprising within it a lamentable catalogue
of the infanticides brought to light within
the two or three years then last past—
infanticides perpetrated in London alone or in its
immediate neighbourhood. Since that return was
issued, the frequency of this miserable crime has
in no perceptible degree diminished. Coroners'
inquests have been holden just as frequently as ever
to inquire into the cause of the death of new-born
infants, whose remains have been still dis-
covered at rapid intervals in all kinds of
likely or unlikely places of concealment. Child
murder indeed has of late years become so rife
here in this metropolis, that the question has
arisen whether it might not after all be athisable to
adopt the humane contrivance of the bell and turn-
table so long attached to the porches Des Maisons
des Enfants Trouves in France —to adopt that
humane contrivance here in England at the very
time when it is beginning to drop into desuetude
on the continent.
