THIS DAY'S M4IRKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

The supplies of wheat on offer in the leading country
markets held on Saturday were only moderate ; neverthe-
less, both red and and white qualities moved off slowly and
inferior samples were somewhat lower in price. Most kinds
of spring corn met a dull inquiry at bawly previous rates.
Throughout the Continent, wheat has continued in ac-

tive request, en English account, at extreme quotations.
Spring corn and flour have sold readily at very full prices.
In the United States, the markets contiuue to be well sup-
plied. _

Only moderate supplies of English produce came to hand
last week ; but the imports from abroad were extensive,
viz., 32,563 quarters of wheat, 7,904 barley, 95,832 oats,
1,300 beans, 1,100 peas, 349 tares, 14,680 linseed, 8,300
rapeseed, 395 sundry seeds, and 5,527 sacks of flour.
Fresh up to-day, both from Essex and Kent, a very
moderate supply •f wheat came to hand, coastwise and by
land carriage ; hence the show of samples was rather
limited. Good and useful qualities moved off slowly, at
last Monday's currency; but all other kinds were a dull
inquiry, and in some instances the quotations ruled the
turn in favour of buyers. At the close of the market prices
gave way is to 2s per qr.
We were well supplied witk most descriptions of foreign
wheat. The business doing was much restricted; never-
theless, late rates were supported. Floating cargoes sold
slowly, nevertheless, prices ruled steady.
Most kinds of barley moved off slowly, at last Monday's
quotations. Very little was on offer.
Malt—the show of which was limited—changed hands
slowly, at late rates.
We were heavily supplied with foreign oats, which moved
off slowly at 6d to is per quarter less money.
Beans were in moderate request,at last week's quotations.
No change took place in the value of peas.
The flour trade was very inactive, at about last week's
quotations. The transactions generally were much re-
stricted.

LATEST CITY BETTING—(Tres DAY).

The Northumberland Plate betting exhibited some
marked changes. First Lord came with a great rush,
and from 15 to 1 at first taken, left off at 100 to 15,
taken freely. Butterfly was not so good a favourite,
and at the close of the Rooms 3 to 1 was offered with-
out any great response. Edmund Kean was much
inquired after, and several bets were booked at 4 to 1 to
large amounts, and could 9 to 2 have been procured, a large
investment on him would have been the result. The only
two outsiders who were supported for. any money were Un-
derhand and Captain Wedderburn, about whom respec-
tively 20 to 1 was taken.
For the Goodwood Stakes 8 to 1 was taken freely about
Rattlebone, and the same price could have been procured
about Gridiron. 10 to 1 was the highest offer agst Staple-
ton; 15 to 1 was taken about Avalanche, and Edmund
Keau was backed for good money at 20 to 1.

The following list of prices will truly indicate the state of
the market at three o'clock :

Management Amendment Act (No. 2), against the High-
ways Bill, &c.

CIVIL CONTINGENCIES.
Mr. A. SMITH moved for returns of the particulars of
the sum of £3,541 16s. paid for knights of the several
orders, giving the names of 'the several knights, the par-
ticular order, the special expenses incurred on behalf of
each, and date of the same.—Ordered.
ORANGE PROCESSIONS IN IRELAND.
Mr MAGUIRE asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland,
if it be true that a large body of persons, styling themselves
and known as :Orangemen, and amounting to at least one
thousand in number, marched in procession into the town
of Cookstown, ;county Tyrone, on the evening of the 15th
instant, accompanied by drums and fifes, and playing party
tunes.

Mr. CARDWELL said he had received no official ac-
count of any such outrage as that alluded to having take
place at Cookstown, but he understood that some disturb-
ances similar in character had occurred in the neighbour-
hood. However, steps had been adopted to preserve the
peace, and from the report he had received from the local
magistrate and the constabulary there was every reason to
believe that such arrangements had been made as to render
the recurrence of such outrages in future more improbable.
BANKRUPTCY AND INSOLVENCY (SALA-
RIES, &c.)
On the report of the committee on this subject being
brought up,
Sir H. 'WILLOUGHBY moved as an amendment to the
resolution of the committee that the word " compensations"
should be omitted. The amount of compensation money
charged on the Consolidated Fund of late years was most
excessive, and very unjust in its operation on the tax-
payers. As regarded Chancery, in the year 1856 there
was no less than £92,000 paid in compensation to
the officers connected with that branch of the
law courts, and with reference to bankruptcy there was
paid in compensation more than £20,000.
Mr. T. DUNCOMBE asked the Attorney-General if it
was intended to fill up the vacancy amongst the com-
missioners in bankruptcy caused by the death of Mr. Com-
missioner Murphy.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said it was not in-
tended to fill up the vacancy in question, but arrangements
had been made for the business of the court being trans-
acted until such time as the bill to be founded on the reso-
lutions of the committee was passed. With regard
to the question of compensation, there was no doubt the
amount already granted was very large. However, it was
not proposed to create any new compensations, but merely
to discharge those granted in 1836. When the alteration was
made in the bankruptcy law, it was expected that there would
be a large increase in the amount of business transacted in
the bankruptcy courts, but that expectation had been dis-
pointed, as the public were not satisfied with these
courts, and the business decreased from year to year.
Mr. BARROW supported the views of Sir H. Wil-
loughby.
Colonel FRENCH called on the country gentlemen pre-
sent not to vote for this measure, which deeply affected
their interests, and was one of the most monstrous bills
ever introduced.
The house divided, and the numbers were—
For the amendment ..111
Against
Majority
BANKRUPTCY AND INSOLVENCY BILL.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that this bill was
founded on the resolution which the house, by their vote,
had set aside, and therefze he felt bound to postpone the
bill. (" Hear, hear," mai " Oh, oh.")
Mr. MALIN S said that from questions which had bean
asked him, it was evident that several hon. members were
not acquainted with the subject on which they had just
voted. The proposed bill did credit to the Government,
but he thought when hon. members took on themselves
the responsibility they did by their recent vote, that the
Government was perfectly right in declining to legislate
on the subject.
Mr. BRIGHT recommended the right hon. gentleman
the Attorney General to reconsider his decision, and allow
a day to elapse before he decided on postponing the bill,
which was very favourably regarded by the mercantile
community. At the same time, however, it was considered
that it was proposed to create new compensations, arid that
the amount was too large.
Mr. BOUVERIE, as ore of those members who had
voted in favour of the amendment, defended his conduct.
Mr. MOWBRAY also vindicated his conduct.
After s me further discussion on the order of the day for
the house going into committee on the bill, the debate was
adjourned until Thursday next.
EXCISE AND ASSESSED TAXES ACT.
The house resolved itself into committee on this bill.
Mr. LAING moved the new resolutions on the game
certificates.
Mr. CAIRD moved an amendment, to the effect that the
words •‘ conies" and " cony" be omitted from the resolu-
tions.

After some discussion,
Mr. LAING said that it would be necessary to have an
Act of Parliament to give validity to these resolutions, so
that he trusted they would not be opposed. He explained
that the object of the Government. was merely fi ancial,
and he clurended the resolutions as being calculated to work
beneficially, and increase to some small extent the revenue.
Sir J. TROLLOPE said that as he understood the reso-
lutions, their object was to protect the rights of landowners,
who were not deprived by them of the power to allow any
persons to kill rabbits on their lands.
Some discussion ensued, in the course of which
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCIIEQUER said there
was no intention to alter the law as regarded rabbits, as
would be seenwhen the bill founded on the resolutions was
introduced.
Ultimately the resolutions were agreed to.

THE REV. C. SPURGEON AND "SABBATH'
OBSERVANCE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sln,—My invitation to the Islington clergy to meet me
for an open discussion of " the Sabbath Question," which
you so courteously laid before the public, it appears, from
your last evening's number, should be extended to the Rev.
Mr. Spurgeon. Will you, then, further permit me to inti-
mate that it is hereby thus extended ?
Our rev. brother appears awe-stricken at the " Sabbath
desecration," not merely of Roman Catholic but Protestant
princes. Although Luther, and Calvin, and Beza, and
Bucer, whose teaching these evangelical rulers of Ger-
many, it should be remembered, adopt, would have recom-
mended that the Baden• Baden Conference should have
been held on Sunday, had an apprehension existed that the
people would think their rulers " sabbatised" by waiting
for any other day; yet, Mr. Spurgeon is overwhelmed, if
not with alarm at the heinousness of their grievous sin
against " God's peculiar day," yet with righteous indig-
nation, and asks, " Will net the Lord be avenged on such
a people as this ? Now, it is high time, Mr. Editor, that
Christendom should strive to attain something more ap-
proaching unanimity of view and uniformity of practice,
touching what is lawful to be done on the first day of the
week. Nothing can be more antagonistic than the views
which are held by Mr. Spurgeon and his party on the one
side ; and those of anti-Sabbatarians on the other. Neither
Lord Chelmsford, nor any other benevolent legislator,iwho
would fain see Sunday observance on a consistent basis,
can ever hope fully to succeed so long as the weekly holi.
day is regarded by leading divines as having usurped,
they know not how, the claims of the Mosaic Sabbath, as
interpreted, too, not by the Great Lawgiver himself, but
by Rabbis of later ages.
As, therefore, Mr. Spurgeon's object in publishing his
letter is the propagation of truth, he will doubtless be re-
, joiced to find that on his return, "refreshed with rest," he
may secure, more signally and extensively, this laudable
object by refuting my arguments before a London auditory.
The name " Bayley" was inadvertently written for
" Stevens" in my last letter. The present secretary of the
Lord's-day Observance Society is the Rev. Henry Stevens.
have the honour to be, sir, yours, &c.,

POLICE INTELLIGE.NCE-(THIS DAT

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ROBBERIES AT TILE VOLUNTEER REVIEW.—John
Coley, described as a cabinetmaker, was charged before
Mr. Henry, with stealing a gold watch and chain of the
value of £25, from the person of Mr. George Payton, gen-
tleman, of 11, Sussex-square, Hyde-park.
The prosecutor said that on Saturday afternoon he was
in Hyde-park with his wife and three children, when he
observed the prisoner with a coat over his arm. The pri-•
soner stood near him for about 10 minutes, and on his
moving to another part of the park, followed him. Having
got into a rather dense crowd he suddenly heard a snap at
his waistcoat pocket and missed his watch, which had been
snapped off from the chain at the bow. He immediately
seized the prisoner, when a gentleman in plain clothes said,
" I saw him take it," but having an idea he might be a
confederate, h 3 unfortunately let go the prisoner and
seized the other, who, he afterwards, on another constable
coming up, found to be a constable. The prisoner was,
however, secured, but the watch was not found.
Thick, 85 D, proved seeing the prisoner for some time
fidgeting about near the prosecutor, his coat being over his
arm up to the elbow. Some (lie said h 3 (the constable)
was a confederate, and the gentleman then seized him,
which prevented his securing the prisoner's hand. The
prisoner either threw the watch away or passed it to some
one else. The watch was not found.

By Mr. Beard (for the prisoner)—l secured the prisoner
as soon as I could after the click, and his coat was up his
arm to his elbow.
Mr. Board, on behalf of the prisoner, pleaded guilty.
A constable said he had seen the prisoner convicted three
or four times for felonies.
Mr. Henry committed the prisoner fur six months with
hard labour.
There were numerous other cases of picking pockets,
which were disposed of in various ways.

It is understood that the Prince of Wales will
remain in town as long as the Court is at Buckingham
Palace. The Queen will leave town for the Isle of Wight
about the same time that the Prince of Wales sails for
Canada.—Court Journal.

There will be a grand military display at Alder-
shott in the early part of next month, but the details have
not yet been organised. The Queen and Royal Family
will be present.—Court Journal.

SPORTING NOTES.
There were four excellent days' sport in Hamp-
shire last week. The Bibury Club day opened
with the usual half-mile Handicap, for two and
three-year-olds, Sir Edward, on the strength of his
Odiham running, being made favourite, but had to
succumb to Cronstadt, my selected, who won
cleverly. Captain Little rode the favourite and the
winner of the Bibury Stakes; but none of the lot
call for notice, anl the Champagne Stakes resulted
in so easy a win for Shillelagh, that it speaks little
for the quality of the field behind him.
The Selling Plate over the five furlong course
was booked a certainty for the King of the Forest.
He was, however, defeated easily by Lord Clifden'a
Cynic, the colt by Pelion, out of Slander, and the
style in which he won found him so many admirers
that from his entered selling price of £3OO he ad-
vanced to £4lO, at which figure he was retained by
Lord Clifden.

Thursday's racing commenced with a match be-
tween Predictor and Syringe; Predictor won easily.
The tide that has so long run against Lord Clifden is
evidently turning, for he possesses a rare two•year-
old in Cynic, whose performance in the Biennial is
almost equal to Dundee's, as he "lost" Big Ben,
and also Shillelagh, who won the Champagne at
Bibury so very easily; and had he not met with an
accident in the spring which will always place his
leg under suspicion, half the odds now offered
against him for the Derby would be worth taking.
The Amport Handicap proved a decided success,
nearly one-half of the acceptors going to the post,
and I take some little credit to myself for having
come to such a just conclusion when reducing it to
a " matter of health" for Northern Light or Ariadne,
first and second.

The meeting of Dundee with Mentmore, and
eight others, for the new piece of plate, run over
the seven furlong course, was the great event of the
day, and the book-makers stood out bravely against
Mr. Merry, who backed his Derby cslt heavily
against the field. The race requires little descrip-
tion, as Dundee won the moment Custance salted
upon him, and passed the post four lengths in front
of the Matilda colt, who beat Mentmore, for second
place by the same distance. This performance
certainly stamps Dundee as one of the most won-
derful two-year•olds ever foaled, and if he continues
to improve, I much doubt whether we shall find a
better in next year's Derby.
The prospect at Newcastle, Chelmsford, and
Ipswich is a gloomy one for those wishing good
sport, the programme of the north country meeting
being under the average.
On Tuesday there is tho North Derby, for 3-yr-
olds, one mile and three-quarters, where Vanquisher
has only to beat T. Dawson's pair—Sir William
and Horace.

The Members'. Plate, about one mile, appears a
good thing for Walkington, 3 yrs, sst 31b, whose
Beverley performances were so creditable.
The Tyro and Grand Stakes will both fini Si]
C. Monck's representative pretty handy, and Doe-
foot and Grenadier are not badly treated in the
Licensed Victuallers' Handicap, looking at the
company.

The Northumberland Plate, two miles, will
bring to the post about one-half of the number
engaged—viz,, Underhand, Hepatica, Gladiolus,
Dilkoosh (doubtful), Shafto, Butterfly, Ben Webs-
ter, Apollyon (doubtful), Bivouac, Captain Wedder-
burn, First Lcrd, Widgeon (doubtful), Viatka,
Edmund Kean, Baron Parke (doubtful), Malpus,
Walkington, and Wildman. Butterfly, Edmund
Kean, Ben Webster, Bivouac, Wildman, First
Lord, Hepatica, Underhand, and Captain Wedder-
burn represent different interests, and appear to be
" going for the money," the only one under suspi-
cion being Ben Webster. Butterfly, even supposing
she has not this horse to beat, is giving a lump of
weight to Bivouac, First Lord, Edmund Kean, and
Wildman, who hive some staunch friends. I would
advise the backers of the " Fly" to get out of their
money at the present short price. To sum up, I
expect the judge to place them in the following
order :

Ben Webster (if wanted)
Edmund Kean

Bivouac
First Lord
and Butterfly nowhere.
The meeting at Chelmsford commences to-
morrow. For the Great Baddon Two Year Old
Stakes appear the names of Blisworth and the
Bohemienne colt ; but I expect they will have their
work to do to beat the unpenalised Morella filly,
who is also allowed 41b. Clorernook is favourably
weighted for the Chelmsford Handicap, and the
same remark applies to General Hess for the Mem-
bers' Plate, Estella the Cup, and Volunteer the
Town Plate.

With a start I expect to see Weatherbound pull
off the Ipswich Suffolk Handicap, and Cynic the
Chauntrey Stakes.
