COMMERCIAL NEWS.

TUESDAY, IiAY 23.—There were larger sales of flour
to-day, but on terms which showed no further decline
on prices current yesterday. The lots disposed of em-
braced the usual assortment of western brands, includ-
ing Genessee, &c., at rates showing a wide range in
prices, which indicated a feverish state of the market.
From the quantity sold it is likely some lots were taken
for export. There was very little wheat offering, and
no sales were reported. Corn remained about the same
with moderate sales. Rye, if anything, was a little
firmer. Oats were dull. From Buffalo by telegraph we
learn receipts were fair, while flour was dull. At Al-
bany receipts of flour moderate, and grain not large ;
flour dull, with moderate transactions in grain. At Bos-
ton the market for flour was steady, with free sales of
corn at previous rates. Sales of lead and seed were also
made. In this market prices were rather heavy for mess
pork, while sales of prime were made at previous rates.
There continued to be a good inquiry for bird. Mode-
rate sales of sugar were made without change of mo-
ment in prices.
Breadstuffs.—Flour—The sales footed up about 7,000
or 8,000 barrels, including about 5,000 Michigan at 5
dolls. 25c.; 700 or 800 ditto good Ohio, at 5 dulls. 75c.;
250 ditto fancy ditto, at 6 dolls. 25c.; and various lots of
Oswego, Genesse, Michigan, &c., common to fair, were
made at 5 dolls. 25c., 5 dolls. 31ic., 5 dolls. 37ic., and
5 dolls. 50c.—latter price for good; very pure to fancy

Cotton—The news per Caledonia was considered fa-

mands 4 cent, but buyers do not appear willing to meet
this advance, consequently the sales have been since then
rather light, and generally at not over cont. advance on

MONS. JULLIEN AT THE SURREY ZOOLOGICAL
GARDENS.—This distinguished professor and his unri-
valled band made their first appearance on Monday with
immense effect. From the moment the talented master en-
tered the orchestra to the close of the concert, it was one
scene of rapturous applause. The coneertcommenced with
the overture to "Der Frieschutz," which was played with
a precision and force rarely equalled. A new quadrille
" The Queen of the May," then followed. which is a
most beautiful composition, different to most of M.
on the in_ Jullion's other productions, as not relying
troduction of extraneous sounds, but replete with the
C Minor (Beethoven), was given w!
most beautiful melodies. The Grand . Symphony in
effect. The Swiss Quadrille (first time in the Gardens)
a new Polka by liemig's another by Jullien, and
several other scientific pieces, were exquisitely rendered.
We cannot close this notice without remarking the •
de-
lightful manner in which " The Soldier Tired" and
Scotch so were given by Madlle. Lovarny ; the former
was a most artistic performance, and was rapturously
encored. A vast number of persons .of the greatest
respectability were assembled, and altogether it Was a
treat of the first order.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
ASCOT HEATH RACES.—TUESDAY.
The programme for the current week is, on paper, al-
together unexceptionable, comprising a variety and
amount of sport for the four days, that eclipses all pre-
vious meetings. Racing, however, like other things, has
been affected by the depression of the times, and we fear
that Ascot, failing in its grand attraction—the presence
of the Queen—and occurring at a period of great excite-
ment, will in some respects show a falling off. Nor do
we expect that the racing will, in the main, prove quite
as good as it looks in print, many of the stakes, it is
true, have extraordinary entries, but it will have been
observed in souse of the most valuable, the names of the
Hero, War Eagle, Springy Jack, Shylock, Glendower,
and Flatcatcher are included, with the natural conse-
quence of reducing the field within a narrow limit. It is
rather singular that Surplice and Loadstone, although
deeply engaged elsewhere, should have no engagements
at Ascot. The acceptance for the Ascot Stakes, although
bad in quality, and not in proportion to the nominations,
was numerically excellent; this was fortunate, inasmuch

With regard to the first day, we may observe that there
was racing enough to satisfy any reasonable person;
indeed, taken as a whole, we may pronounce it one of the
bfeeasttudraoy's wasspotrhteseTen here

s,anew ellatsssmoofst novel
prize,
which from its peculiarity, promises to become popular.
In races of this kind, the contract extends over three
years, the horses nominated for them running the first
year at two years old, in the following at three years
and in the last year at four years old, the distance va-
rying according to the age; each engagement, although
forming a portion of the contract, being for a stake of
10 sews. The second Triennial Stakes will come into
play next year with two-year-olds, and another in 1850,
and so after next year, there will be three of these levia-
than races iu the list, the four-year-olds completing the
First Triennial, the three-year-olds running their second
" heat" for the engagement commenced in 1849, and the
two-year-olds opening their series of ' like
succession
succession will be in pro
meetings, and holding out inducementsinagt Newmarket and several
other places, greatly enhancing the importance of the
in training which might otherwise to continue horses
be sold or thrown up.
The list, irrespective of this prize had many points of

good
al o f Speculation,
Ascot Stakes was the
ttion,r and the Queen's
Vase, notwithstanding the inferiorlyilole.the entry, is
wwerel besides
al-
ways interesting to the " million;
two or three other stakes of value, and trhee
have before observed, was really first-rate, stilla'it'dlls notwe
draw to the extent it merited. The funeral of the late
meeting,
Princess Sophia, and the absence of her Majesty,eeateidei
many of the usual frequenters of the Ascothad an obvious influence on the attendance, which netl'as;
smaller than we have been accustomed to see oa the first
day. This was the snore to be wondered at, for it is
scarcely possible that the weather could have been more
favourable.
Of the manner in which the business of the course was
conducted it is scarcely necessary to speak. Lord Bea-
borough, the Master of the Buckhounds, although young
in office, was quite au fait to his duties; his Lordship
was most efficiently supported by Messrs. Hibbard,
Clerk, and Manning. The only flaw in the management
was a want of punctuality; this, however, with so many
races, in which some of the jockeys had to ride nearly a
mile to the starting-post, was almost unavoidable. It
would have been better, perhaps, had a little more time
been taken between the principal events, which could
have been done by stalling half an hour earlier. The
" making-up" of the course was in most respects the
same as last year; the only alteration was one which
served to relieve the ladies of a great annoyance, viz.,
by confining the smokers, as well as the betters, to the
end of the stand enclosure. This was a decided im-
provement, and the " ring" being immediately under the
Jockey Club Stand, business was carried on without the
interruptions that so constantly interfered with it in the
olden time.
Reserving for our next a list of the principal visitors,
we will proceed to an outline of the day's sport.

to the top of the course, where Marpesus took the lead,
which he kept to the Swinley post, where Vampyre ran
past him, and carried on the running at a good pace; the
Miss Whip filly second, and Marpeaus third. On near-
ing the turn into straight running, Lady Wildair and
Chanticleer quitted the ruck; but it was not until they
got to the distance post that they took the positions: as
signed to them by the Judge at the finish. Lady Wilidair
made her effort opposite the stand, but could not reach

ETON REGATTA.
The 4th of June occurring this year on Sunday, the
usual annual regatta, which was established many years
since in honour of the birthday of George the Third,
took place on Monday evening. It being the day pre-
viously to the commencement of Ascot races, a more
than usually large assemblage of persons (all the prin-
cipal inns in the town being filled with visitors) were
congregated in the Brocas, and on either bank of the
Thames, to witness the proceedings. Amongst the com-
pany we-observed the Earl of Chesterfield, Lord Dun-
cannon, the Marquis of Hastings, Lord Walter Scott, the
Earl of Strathmore, Lord Drumlanrig, the Rev. Dr.
Hawtrey, Sir G. Wombwell, the Rev. W. G. Cookesley,
the Rev. E, IL Pickering, his Grace the Duke of Athol,
Duchess of Athol, Marchioness of Aylesbury, Earl and
Countess of Wilton, Earl and Countess of Sheffield and
Lady Susan Holroyd, Lord Dungarvon, Bishop of Nor-
wich, Earl Dunkellin, Lord Len isham, Hon. and Rev.
P. G. Saville, the Hon. and Rev. the Dean of Windsor,
the Dean of St. Asaph, Lord and Lady Enfield, the
Hon. Mr. llanbury, Lord Castlereagh, Lord Clonbrock,
Sir W. Fraser, Sir W. Heygate, Mons. Guizot, and Lord
Vivian.

Shortly after seven o'clock the boats, with their •
spectiye crews, attired in fancy costume, streamers gai y
flying from their stems, left the Brocas, at Eton, in the
following order, for Surley ball, proceeded by the band
of the Royal Horse Guards in two large shallops,
.the
drummers and fifers of the Coldstream Guards being
stationed in the Cobbler, just below Windsor-bridge.

cher, West, Palmer, Barclay, Gore Booth, Blane steerer.
ST. GEORGE.—Phillips, ma. (captain), Cocks, Morris,

liffe, James steerer.

Upon the arrival of the crews accompanied by their
respective friends (some in boats, and several in car-
riages and on horseback, proceeding round by the road
from college) at Surley-hall, they partook of a splendid
cold collation, laid out under a spacious marquee, to
which the friends of the boys were invited by the
captain of the boat?. During the repast the healths of
her Majesty and the Royal Family were drunk in bum-
pers of champagne and claret. The boats returned to
Windsor shortly before nine o'clock, when a splendid
display of fireworks, under the superintendence of Mr.
Fenwick, took place from the Eyot, just above the bridge,
consisting of several set pieces, vertical wheels, star of
Brunswick, &c. The last piece was a grand temple,
thirty feet in height, with the motto " Floreat Etona,"
in silver fire, surmounting the arms of the College. Not-
withstanding the thousands of spectators who were con-
gregated at every available spot where a view of the py-
rotechnic display could be obtained, and the numerous
boats on the river filled with company, the whole passed
off without the slightest accident.

RECENT CHARTIST MEETINGS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—It is hut small satisfaction to the tradesmen of
the metropolis to be told night after night that " effec-
tual measures have been taken to prevent an outbreak of
the public peace," while on every evening since Mon-
day, the 25th May, these assaults on men and property
have taken place. Why are not these effective mea-
sures, so often promised, resolutely carried out? Why
is it that the Fussells can openly recommend assassina-
tion, the Joneses open arming, the Williamses, et hoe mane
genus, open rebellion ? In Farringdon Hall there are
speeches made sufficiently strong surely to bring these
vagabonds under the new Act. Why not at once, as in
the case of the Calthorpe-street riots, call out the whole
force—all respectable tradesmen as special constables,
and supported well by the military, if required—and atonce
stop this tom-foolery by apprehending all who even at-
tend such meetings ? The idea may seem too violent,
but when, as in our district, we arc paying 254 to 301.
per annum poor's•rate alone, is 6d. per day, for one tax,
we have something else to do than to shut up four hours
before our time. One instance of the harm to trade—a
butcher purchased on Saturday half his usual quantity
of meat, because "he supposed he would have to keep
shut after five." If this state of things lasts much longer
a few more than usual will figure in the Ga:ette.
One word more—if the special constmbles are to be re-
quired next Monday, a little consideration might be
anown by giving them notice before Saturday night, as
was the case on the 10th, and thus they would be enabled
to make the necessary arrangements for leaving their
business. Apologizing :for the length I have extended
this to,

I am, Sir, yours obediently,

THE CHAnTIST DISTURBANCES.—Owing to the
precautions taken on Monday by the police authorities
to prevent Chartist meetings on Stepney-green and
Bishop Bonner's-flields, no attempt was made last night
at either place to create a disturbance; but a powerful
body of the police was in readiness. Had it not been
for the precautions taken by the authorities, there is no
doubt that a repetition of the disgraceful scenes of last
week would have taken place last night on Clerkenwell-
green. At an early hour in the evening Mr. Inspector
Julian, of the G division, took possession of the spot
usually occupied by the Chartist orators, whilst the se-
veral leaders connected with that body made their ap-
pearance; and although a great number of persons had
congregated on the green, the moment they caught sight
of the police they made off in various directions. The
force;was kept on the ground until ten o'clock. Several
in-door meetings took place during the evening in the
neighbourhood at various coffee-houses and lecture-

TOMS,
THE REFORM MOVEMENT IN LAMTIETII. Last
night a meeting of the inhabitants of this borough was
held at the Horns Tavern, Kennington, in support of
Mr. Ilume's motion for further reform in the House of
Commons. Mr. C. Jones presided, and opened the busi-
ness of the evening. The secretary then read letters
from Mr. Bright, M.P., Mr. G. Thompson, M.P., Mr.
11. Vincent, and the Hon. Mr. D'Eyncourt, one of the
borough Members, apologising for not attending; the
last-named gentleman, however, arrived shortly after-
wards. Mr. J. Thwaites moved the first resolution, to
the effect that " the declaration of Lord John Russell
in:the Houselof Commons on the 23d of May last, evinced
a real or pretended ignorance of public opinion, and a
willingness to mistake the determination of the people
at large to preserve order f‘z confidence in her Majesty's
Government, and that it was therefore incumbent upon
all who wished to avert civil commotion to
give constitutional expression to their views, and
to seek such further reforms as they believed
conducive to the prosperity of all classes of the
community." The resolution was supported by Mr.
D'Eyncourt, who spoke at some length, and by Mr.
Southwell, and was put end carried unanimously, the
meeting giving three groans for Lord John Russell.
Mr. F. Doutton proposed the next resolution, to the
Effect that " the House of Commons does not truly re-
present the people, and that any reform which fails to
recognise the right of every man to the franchise, li-
mited only by such regulations as may be necessary to
secure its legitimate use, will neither be complete nor
permanent, but regarding, Mr. Hume's motion as an
important practical- advance towards a fair and full re-
presentation of the people, the meeting resolved to give
it their support." Mr. C. Pearson, M.P., addressed the
meeting in support of the resolution, and in the course
of his observations was asked by a person in the room
whether he had voted for the " Gagging Bill," to which
he replied in the negative. The resolution was passed
unanimously. On the motion of Mr. T. Pratt, seconded
by Mr. Alfred Fairchild, it was resolved that a petition
embodying. the resolution should be signed by the chair-
man on behalf of those present, and be presented to the
House of Commons.
