Mb. Owen Jones. — The Institute Of Briti...
Mb . Owen Jones . — The Institute of British Architects , we leara with great satisfaction from the Builder , have resolved unanimously- to recommend to her Majesty that the Royal Medal for the present year should he conferred on Mr . Owen Jones , for his published works , including the " Alharnbra , " and the " Grammar of Ornament . " " The recommendation" ( says our contemporary , whose good opinion is itself a high testimony ) " we have no doubt would be endorsed by the profession , not only in our own country , but throughout Europe . In the production of his magnificent work on the Alhambra , Mr . Owen . Jones expended his fortune , 7000 J . it is stated , with little prospect then of a pecuniary return , and , probably , in opposition to the
opinions of his friends , -who may have thought that he was devoting his time to an unprofitable study . Strong feeling and determination , however , carried him through it , and the results have fully justified his course as respects the services rendered by it to aTt , while , personally , he has now probably no reason to regret it . The value of his -labours in inducing a feeling for colour , and elucidating the principles of decoration , has long been felt by his professional brethren , and it hia 3 been wisely thought that the completion of hia last work , " The Grammar of Ornament , " made the present
a fit moment for the Bestowal of the highest reward they had to offer . " So exalted and spontaneous a recognition from a body of the most distinguished of his brother artists "will , we are persuaded , be received by Mr . Owen Jones as the noblest and most honourable recompense of a life of devotion to his art . Mr . Owen Jones is at present more particularly engaged , we believe , in the construction of the St . James ' s Music Hall , "which is destined to be one of the gems of the metropolis . The " Grammar of Ornament , " which he has just concluded , -will no doubt be a classic in all the Imperial , Royal , and National libraries of Europe .
The River Zambesi . —A meeting of the members of the Royal Geographical Society took place on Monday evening ; Sir Roderick Murchison presided . After the reading of some papers « n th « geography of Africa , more especially with reference to the river Zambesi , Dr . Livingston made some remarks explanatory of his discoveries at the mouth of that stream . It seemed to him , from all the information lie could obtain , that a considerable portion of the Zambesi is navigable for ships of some burden , provided they enter with , the tides ; but he
• would not recommend a gunboat to be sent up the river , although a very large -vessel could go up . About three hundred miles of the river is navigable before the first rapid is encountered , and that being passed , about a hundred miles more is free from difficulty . He considered ( and he was borne out in his opinion by that of Captain Hbskyns ) th at it would ultimately be most valuable for commercial purposes ; and he thought a development of a regular trade with the country would lead to the natural extinction of the slave trade .

The Demand For Money Is Very Brisk, And ...
The demand for money is very brisk , and the sums brought "by Blackwall and Mermaid seem to have been already absorbed by the Continent . Consols for account have stood at " 93 £ all the week nearly . Turkish Six per Cent , stock has fluctuated considerably to-day ; th & stock seems a little inclined to rise . A marked improvement iu Mexican securities has been a feature during to-day . Foreign railway shares are all high—Paris and Lyons , Lombardo-Venetian , Luxembourgs , & c—a rise of 20 s . per share in Sambie and Meuse , consequent upon a vague report of their having obtained a guarantee of some nature . Cevlons
continue m demand , and Riga shares at 1 ? . per share better . Great Western of Canada show great firmness , and Grand Trunks are in better odour than they were . Amongst our own heavy railway shares , Lancashire and Yorkshire are the strongest , but even these are lower by 11 . percent , than last week . Caledonians are high , Dovers a little natter , Berwicks the same . A good deal of business in British mines—Trelawtiys , Lady Bertha . Tincroft , Treweatha , Great Wheal Vor , Grambler and St . Aubyn , "Wendron Consols ; the Bassetts and Alfreds are likewise in demand .
Joint-Stock Banks keep their prices—Ottoman a 3 high as 1 to i ^ premium . Egypts do not move-In miscellaneous shares there has been a small amount of business . General Omnibus Company shares are now at 10 s . per share premium . North British Australasian firm at j ; a new proposition to buy part of their property and start a new mining company to work the Bon Accord copper mine , adjoining the great Burra Burra ,, is in agitation . United Mexicau mine shares have fallen 10 s . per share . For tie next six weeks we can look for nothing but poor markets and little business doing . The Bourse in Paris keeps up its prices astonishingly , and one would imagine that the speculators there are going in for another great coup . HL oney scarcity , and that alone , here prevents our going very high . At four o ' clock , Consols close for money , 931 , 4 ; for account , 93 * , f ; Turkish , 67 , 97 .
: _?— . . London , Friday Evening , March 13 , 1857 . The markets throughout the Stock Exchange have been very dull , and the little business done has been depressing , and not at all encouraging . The hindrance to business , and the withdrawal of large sums in hard cash to meet the expenses of the coming election , are causes which lead to sales—an absence of all speculation . The City political feeling is still very strong against Lord John Russell . The vast , unscrupulous , and non-reflective majority , which Relieves in the Times leaders and the accusations of Lord Palmerston in the House , persist in ignoring tho possibility of any man having given a conscientious vote , aad not acting from factious motives . Lord John's address to the electors of the City of London is viewed with deep interest , and it will be a hard fight to turn him . out .
