THE SILL CROP.—The accounts of the progress of
the silk crop do not vary from those previously received.
According to letters from Valencia, dated the 15th of
May, the Spanish yield was still expected to be about
half an average, which is a great improvement upon
last year. The worms were generally in their fourth
stage. Regarding the French crop, Lyons advices of
the 19th state that the worms were between the second
and third stage, and that their progress was good. The
mulberry-leaf, it :s addtd, is magnificent, and the fact is
also mentioned that the quantity of eggs put to hatch
this season is double that of last year. From Broussa,
in Asia Minor, where the ,cultivation is increasing,
the latest accounts say that everything was going on
well.

MEMORIAL TOR Music IN GREENWICH PAAK.—The
inhabitants of Greenwich are at present signing a me-
morial to Sir Benjamin Hall as Commissioner of Public
Works, in which, after referring in a spirit of acquies-
cenee to the recent suppression of the fair in the park,
they urge, that the beauty of the Royal park of Green-
wich has long been a source of attraction to the humbler
inhabitants of the metropolis ; and that the performance
of music by military bands, on those occasions on which
the park is most frequented by the people, would be
calculated to afford as much rational enjoyment as the
performance of the band of her Majesty's life guards, in
Hyde Park and other places at the West-end of London,
does to the fashionable and wealthy classes of those
districts. The memorialists therefore pray that one or
more of the military bands of the Woolwich Garrison
be permitted and authorised to perform in Greenwich-
park on the approaching holidays in Whitsun week.
THE BARGAINS.— rbe Court of Caseation was yes-
terday once again called on to decide whether or not
time bargains at the Bourse are legal—the question hav-
ing been submitted to it, on appeal from a judgment of
an inferior court in a case in which two persons named
Perrie and Lacaz-t, and an agent de change, named
Del?ecb, were parties, and the sum in dispute between
them was 26,661 francs. As it has done on numerous
occasions, the court gave judgment to the effect that
time bargains at the Bourse are illegal, when purchasers
or sellers, at the moment of their bargains have neither
the intention nor the means of receiving or delivering
the securities bargained for, and can consequently only
liquidate the transaction by the Payment of differences.
According to the court, such transactions, under what-
ever name they may be disguished, constitute bona fide
gambling, or wagers on a rise or fall of public securities,
and consequently are included in the articles 419, 421,
422 of the Penal Code.

PRESERVATION OF CORN.—About a year ago 790
hectolitres (2,175 bushels) of American corn were by
way of experiment inciosed in " silos " of sheet iron
(large cylinders sunk into the ground, so as to form re-
ceptacles for corn, like the corn pits in Algeria) between
Asnieres and Argenteuil, and the covers secured with
seals. These latter were removed on Wednesday last
in the presence of two delegates from the war-office, to
which the corn belonged, and of the Commission des
Subsistances Militairee, and the corn subjected to a
strict examination, when it was pronounced to be in
exactly the same state as it was a twelvemonth ago.
The cost of preserving corn by means of these "silos"
does not exceed 80c, per hectolitre (2i buhliel9),
