citable. Not a cheer welcomed the appearance of the
Chancellor of the Exchequer when he entered the house,
and not the slightest manifestation took place when the
right hon. gentleman resumed his seat. The business of
the day was very speedily disposed of, after the
announcement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the
members then rose from their seats and quitted the house.
Four members, however, sat in close conversation or the
front bench below the gangway for some time after all the
members of the Government and Opposition had left, and
thoso four were Mr. Lowe, Lord Elcho, Earl Grosvenor,
and Sir Charles Russell. The topic under discussion
seemed to be very interesting, as it was carried on by the
hon. members with the greatest animation.

There was great excitement outside the house, nearly

1,000 of the working classes having assembled to witness
the entrance of the members. On the entrance of Mr.
Doulton he was received with loud groans and hisses.
Mr Lowe and Mr. Disraeli were received in a similar
manner. Sir Lytton Bulwer was received with the greatest
respebt, most of the persons present lifting their hats,

for a fair share of applause, but when Mr. Gladstone arrived
in his carriage, accompanied by his son, the member for
Chester, the enthusiasm of the crowd knew no bounds.
Mr. Gladstone, as he quitted the house, again received
another ovation by the crowd, and the cheering that
greeted him as he emerged from Westminster Hall was
tremendous. Mr. Bright and Mr. Fawcett also received
the most enthusiastic applause, but when Sir Robert

SPORTING NOTES.

The races last week call for no particular remark.
The fields at Aintree were ridiculously small com-
pared with the extent of the entries, particularly
for the principal two-year-old races, the Lancashire
Produce Stakes and the Badminton Stakes, which,
though of considerable value, being contended for
by nothing better than Arundel, Frost, Romping
Girl, Tynedale, and Eastby and the defeat of
Arundel by Frost, a very clever shaped colt by
Weatherbit, caused the utmost astonishment, as
Lord Stamford was so confident in the success of
his horse that he betted 9 to 2 on him, an example
that was followed by many of the " talent" to
their cost. The Spigot Lodge stable was in great
form during the meeting, as Windham won the
Molyneux Cup, and Capt. Gray had also the grati-
fication of seeing Terror defeat Pintail, Vespasian,
and four others for the Liverpool Cup. Vespasian,
considering that he was giving the grandson of
Faugh-a-Ballagh 161 b, ran a good horse, but could
not quite stay the mile and a half. The sport at
Chelmsford and Ipswich was quite as indifferent
as at Aintree, and beyond the easy overthrow of
Tormentor for the Chelmsford Stakes, effected by.
both Ostregor and Saccharometer, who gave her
quite weight enough, considering the distance was
but seven furlongs, I have nothing to notice, for
thoen weretwo-y veryear- moderate,oldsthatrn
withaon the Gail epeyexwocodtiConomoi
Com-
mon
the French horse Montagnard, Canard, and the
colt by Yellow Jack out of Verona, all of whom
will win in their turn. There are four meetings
appointed for the ensuing week, viz., Newcastle-
on-Tyne, Worcester, Hungerford, and New Forest,
all of which are likely to attain fair success, par-
ticularly the first named, now that the principal
noblemen and gentlemen resident in Northumber-
land have given the Tyneside reunion their support.
The principal race is the Northumberland Plate,
for which Mr. Merry has put down the money on
The Primate to the extent of £l,OOO. No man is
a better judge in large handicaps, and without
going through the performances of the other horses
engaged, I shall give a plumper for

And leave Lady Durham, Miss Haworth, and
Honesty, to fight it out for places. Lady Durham,
I think, is certain to get honourable mention from
the judge.

ney to Mortlake. At starting Crossley obtained the lead,
and increased it to half a length, but by the time they had
reached the Star and Garter Cave was beginning to go away,
and after a capital race was clear at tho point. At Ham-
mersmith he led by two lengths, and eventually won by six
easily.

WESTMINSTER.

A DnrsKEN BRUTE.—James Smith, of 3, South-street,
Chelsea, was charged with assaulting Lis wife.
The latter, as usual in cases of this character, did not
seek to havo him punished, but admitted she wanted pro-
tection.

Mr. Selfo said ho must know the particulars of the case
before he could grant her any.
Complainant now unwillingly told her story. Sho had
boon married to the defendant for 17 years, and he was her
second husband. She had three grown-up children by
her first husband, and ono of her sons was there on Satur
day night, and took her part, when her husband assaulted
her.

Mr. Selfe—llas ho ever struck you Won..?
Wifo—Ropeatodly, and he prevents my getting any liv-
ing, for he won't work himself. Ike is a good man when
he is sober, but when ho breaks out, ho is drunk for a
fortnight at a time.

Mr. Selo—What business do you follow ?
Wife—l keep a wardrobe-shop, and support him out of
the business.

Mr. Selfo—Ho is described as a bootmaker.
----- --

Wifo—lf any boots or shoes are brought in I give thorn
to him, and ho month: thorn up for pocket-money and gets
drunk with it.

Mr. Selfo—What did be do to you on Saturday night ?
Wife—Cut me, as you see, on tho forehoad, and I bled
so much that I was saturated in blood. He locked me in,
and my sou was obliged to break tho door open to got me
out.

Defendant, who appeared in a muddled state, said he
had nothing to say. In a squabble with his wife, ho
might have struck her.

Prisoner was committed for 14 days, and ordered to find
bail for 6 months.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

There was a full average supply of foreign stock on sale
here to-day. The demand was heavy, and prices generally
had a drooping tendency.
From our own grazing districts tho arrivals of beasts
fresh up this morning were only moderate, but in full
average condition. All broods mot a slow inquiry, at a
decline in the quotations realised on Monday last of 2d per
81bs. The general top figure was bs. Bd., but a few very
superior Scots produced 5s 10d per 81bs. The receipts
from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire com-
prised about 1,200 Scots, crosses, and shorthorns ; from
other parts of England, 500 various breeds ; and from
Scotland, four Scots.
We were tolerably well supplied with sheep of full ave-
rage weight. Tho mutton trade was in a sluggish state;
nevertheless, no quotable change took place in prices. The
best Downs and half-brods realised 6s per 81bs.
Lambs were in fair supply and steady request on former
terms, ♦iz., from 6s 8d to 8s per 81bs.
Calves were very dull, and 2d to td per 81bs lower than

HORRIBLE MURDER IN ROSEMARY-LANE.—Patrick Har-
rington, an Irish labouror, 77 years of age, was brought
up before Mr. Paget, charged with the wilful murdor o
Peter Mann, his son-in-law.

Tho fatal affray took place in Rosemary-land, White-
chapel, last night at 12 o'clock. Tho murder was com-
mitted in the street in the presence of several persons.
Mann and his wife wore quarrelling, and her father (the
prisoner) interfered, and, without saying a word, plunged
a knife into his son-in-law's breast. The unfortunate man
fell, exclaiming, "I am stabbed." Dr. J. Loane, of No. 1,
Dock-street, Whitechapel, was fetched. lie found the man
was dead. lie only survived three minutes after h o was
stabbed. There was a largo wound on the right side of
the chest, from which blood had issued freely. The pri-
soner fled away directly he had stabbed his son-in-law.
Inspector Dandy, of the II division station-house in Leman-
street, immediately sent constables in all directions in pur-
suit of the prisoner, who was soon in custody. The knife
was found in the street near the place where the murder
was committed.

Cornelius Leary, a tailor, and his wife, who saw the pri.
soner stabb Mann, gavo evidence to that effect.

Dr. Loane believed the wound was the mii() of death,
but ho could not state what internal parts were injured
until the post-mortem examination of the body.
Mr. Paget committed the prisoner for trial.
The horrible affair hasnreated a great sensation in Rose-
mary-lane, where rows and fights among the. Irish have
been frequent. An immense number of Irish assembled in
the street all night, and there was a good deal of excite-
ment, wailing and groaning. The prisoner was brought
down to the court in a cab, which was immediately sur-
rounded by a groat number of persons. Some difficulty was
experienced in removing him from the vehicle.

The United btates Squadron at Queens'

We extract the following letter from a contvm-
ponu7:—

The squadron consists of the Augusta paddle
steamer, Commander Murray in command, the
Ashuelot, Commander Fabarger, also paddle, be-
sides our Monitor, the Miantonomak. This may
be considered a very good passage, as we had to
economise our coal. When we left St. John's we
had 400 tons on board, and we drew 15 feet 10
inches. When working up to full speed we burn.
40 tons in the 24 hours. We had some dirty

over it. The turrets are cylinders, 23 feet in
diameter, and over 8 feet high. Each carries two
Dahlgren guns, which throw spherical shot of 480
lbs., or a 15-inch shell of 360 lbs. For a round
shot the charge is 35 lbs., but the guns can stand
GO lbs. if required. As we can turn the turrets by'
machinery, only one port is required for each gun,
and when loading this port can be protected by a
semi-hoop of enormous strength swung against the
orifice. The British ships Black Prince and Achilles
are here, and the officers have been much inter-

SCULLERS' RACE FOR £2O.

A match between Crossley, of Chelsea, and Cave, of
Pimlico, for £lO aside, was rowed on Saturday from Put-
ney to Mortlake. At starting Crossley obtained the lead,
and increased it to half a length, but by the time they had
reached the S tar and Garter Cave was beginning to go away,
and after a capital race was clear at the point. At Ham-
mersmith ho led by two lengths, and eventually won by six
easily.

There was a moderate demand, at about 5s per qr. morq
money. The supply of grinding barley was small, and
previous rates may be quoted. There was a limited sup-
ply of oats, for which there was a fair demand, and prices
were in sellers' favour. The demand for beans was
healthy, and previous rates were fully obtained without
difficulty. Flour again dearer.

MARK-LANE.

In the country markets, held on Saturday, the trade for
wheat was very firm, and prices advanced 2s. to 3s. per
quarter. All descriptions of spring corn were held at en-
hanced rates, and, in most instances, prices were ls. per
quarter higher than in the previous week. Flour changed
hands at enhanced currencies.

On the continent the wheat trade has ruled firm, and
higher prices have been obtained. Barley, oats, beans, and
peas have had an upward tendency in price. At New
Ycrk, however, the trade is dull on easier terms.

The imports of foreign produce last week were 13,279
quarters of wheat, 1,759 barley, 44,598 oats, 35 beans, 210
peas, 5,039 maize, 2,250 sundries, and 1,952 sacks of flour.
Fresh up to-day the arrivals of English wheat, coast-
wise and by land carriage, were on a limited scale, and in
but middling condition. All kinds were in request at 3s
per quarter above the rates current on Monday last. Qua-
lities fit for consumption in Yorkshire would have pro-
duced 4s per quarter advance. Town millers—who hold
full average stocks of wheat--purchased cautiously.
We were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, sup-
plied with foreign wheat. The purchasers were not very
numerous ; nevertheless, the trade was in a healthy state,
at 2s to 38 per quarter above the quotations
realised on
this day se'nnight.
Floating cargoes of wheat advanced is to 2s par quar-
ter, with an improved demand. All other produce afloat
was very firm. _ .

Tho show of both English and foreign barley was
limited, and sales progressed steadily, at in some instances
a rise of is per quarter.
Malt was in fair average supply and steady request, at
very full prices.
The show of home-grown oats was limited ; of foreign
extensive. A large business was doing in most kinds, at
an improvement in value of is per quarter.
Beans were a slow inquiry, at last week's currency. The
supply was limited.
----

In peas very little was doing ; prices,
- -
howover, were
supported.
Flour was held at a further advance of 2s per 2801bs.
On the whole the trade was firm.

(OFFICIAL BULLETIN.)]

AUSTRIAN HEAD-QUARTERS, June 24.
The Archduke Albrecht has forwarded the fol-
lowing despatch to the Emperor :

" The Auitrian army, while advancing towards
the Mincio, was attacked to-day by the forces
under the command of King Victor Emmanuel.
Our army carried i\iontevento by assault, and Cus-
tozza at the close of the engagement at 5 p.m.
" Our forces took several cannon and many pri-
soners, and behaved with extraordinary valour and
endurance.

" The King employed in the attack the three
corps of the army of the Mincio and the reserve.
" Prince Amadeus and many generals were
wounded. The enemy appears to have brought
all his troops in succession under fire."

CRACOW, June 25.
The town of Oswiencin in Galicia was attacked
yesterday by two battalions of Prussian infantry
and two divisions of cavalry, which retreated after
a loss of eight killed and several wounded.

No loss was incurred by the Austrians.
MILAN, June 25.
An Austrian detachment has descended from
the Stelvio Pass, and occupied Bormio in Lombardy,
last night.
PARIS, June 25.
The Moniteur of this morning, in its Politica
Bulletin, says :

. _
" The Italian army passed the Mincio yesterday
morning, and has occupied Goitz Valeggio and
Curtabone.

" The Italian volunteers who were at Como have
passed through Lecco, on their way to the Tyrol."
The Moniteur also says : _ .

" The Hanoverians have succeeded in reaching
the territory of Meiningen, after having eluded the
different Prussian corps by which they were sur-
rounded."

measure instead of adapting them to meet the wants
of the public and the exigencies of the time. Sir
F. KELLY has shown a spirit and determination that
deserve success in the prosecution of his task, and
the Government will find it difficult to withstand
his attack.

A very significant circumstance came to light
yesterday respecting the state of public opinion
in Prussia. A very crowded meeting was held
on Sunday, at which it was unanimously resolved
by those present that war between Austria and
Prussia should be denounced as a " national mis-
fortune," and also asserting that a "Liberal Prus-
sian Ministry could alone command the general
confidence required for Federal Reform." No
wonder that this intelligence was not transmitted
with much rapidity, for, of course, it was most
obnoxious to the powers that be. It is
fortunate that this meeting should have
taken place, because it shows undeniably
how very unpopular will be the war into which the
mischievous machinations of Herr BISMARCK are
plunging the Prussians. He will find himself and
the Government in a very different position now
from what they were at the time of the Dano-
German war. Then, to the lasting disgrace of the
people of Prussia, all was considered fair and
right that expedited the conflict, and all attention
was directed from the affairs of home interest in
order to further the cause of aggression pursued
abroad. The Prussians are in general
so apathetic and indifferent that it is quite
a relief to find their asserting something like
spirit at this important juncture. It will now remain
'or us to learn if more heed is paid to this popular

manifestation of opinion, in Berlin than has been
generally done of late. At any rate, such an affair
as this meeting on Sunday will go far to strengthen
Austria, and will give the enemies of Prussia the
opportunity of saying that with all its parade about
Reform in Germany, the Government of Berlin does
not rightly represent the feelings and carry out the
opinion of its own people. There is certainly no
earthly reason why the two Powers should go to
war if it is not that Herr Bismarck has
been allowed to overrule influence, and to mono-
polise all power to himself. The question
resolves itself into this : either that statesman must
retire or modify his views, or a general war
throughout Germany will be the inevitable result of
all this turmoil. The difficulty will be to drive so
arrogant and assuming a man from his post ; and
yet, unless this be accomplished, we would not give
much for any chance Prussia has of extricating
herself from her present subservient position with
dignity to the Government, or interest to the people,
who arc so seriously compromised by the turn these
recent events have taken.

LAUNCH OF THE NORTHUMBERLAND.

MILLWALL, Tuesday Afternoon.

At three o'clock precisely all was in readi-
ness, and the concentrated gaze of a vast
mass of human beings was fixed upon the still
immovable vessel resting on the stocks. Five
minutes more, and it would be seen whether
all the numerous scientific appliances which could
be brought to bear had or had not been equal to
the task of launching one of the finest vessels, if
not the finest of its kind, ever constructed. The
anxiety of that short period, judging by its effect
on even the casual spectator, must have been intense
to the builders, and other persons immediately
concerned in the launch.

At length the signal was giren, the shores were
cut away, all the other forces were simultaneously
employed, and with a splendid tide, showing fully
23 feet, the Northumberland sailed out grandly from
her quarters. A deafening cheer rose from
the multitude assembled in the yard, which was
echoed by those on board, and re-echoed by the
crowds on the opposite side of the river. A band
stationed on the noble vessel also struck up a
triumphant air, and the great event, which had
been looked forward to with such eagerness, and
for so long a time, was now an accomplished fact.
