This year Mr . Madise gives us the MJuriage of Sfcrongbow on the field of battle with Eva , the daughter of the conquered King of Leinster , " and the picture is eminently characteristic of the painter . Figures are distributed about ia violent attitudes . While the haads of the couple are joined , trumpeters are braying to the -world , bridesmaids are marching "to the spot , a group of mourners are defiling off from , the back of the bridegroom , dead bodie& _ lie heaped around the bridal pair , conquered Gaels are kneeling # ft 6 ut , a bereaved mother is crying aloud in outstretched agony , and the whole is varied with great contrasts of costume and colour , garlands , golden robes , crowns , saWe mourning , weapons , armour , naked limbs , fair girls , dark-faced warriors , a deliberate aggregation of spirited groups which appear to have no connexion with tie shop next door . All this is painted in deeptoned or strong colours , after Maclise ' s fashion— -which is after the fastion of the paper-stainers . Composition there is little , and there is this startling
peculiarity , that the accessories are more pronounced than the mam subject or figures . The countenance of Strongbow is subdued in shade , while the helmet or shoulder-knot of a common soldier dazzles the sight . The happy pair stand , xn front of an arch , which looks as if it might lead to a well . Above is a retinue tailing off on each side and forming a pair of horns , converging at the tips . All this background is painted in a totally different style , something like water-colour on rough paper , so that the foreground part of the picture looks as if it were a different work altogether , painted in different pigments , the figures on a different scale , and the whole cut out and pasted upon the larger and feebler picture which forms the background . Exertion here there is plenty where it is not wanted . i ? or it was a bridal at which the gaiety would he checked by mournfulness and despondency . But to be historical Mr . Madise thinks it necessary to be loud . "

MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE . Friday Evening , May 5 , 1864 . As the week has advanced , the Funds have been drooping . The leading article in the Times this morning showed thai , if one has a war under a Coalition Ministry—a Ministry driven to war by extremity—tha . t they will make an allenduring publio pay for their dislike of receiving a kicking without resenting it . This fulminating article has sent the Funds down one quarter per cent . The Chancellor's Exchequer Bills are being gradually taken up . The series ( A ) , about two millions , have all been , taken ; but the quantity of stock is too small and insignificant to make what is termed in the Stock Exchange " a market . " The meeting in the Bank parlour yesterday must ha . ve been unusuall y interesting , if vro may judge by its unusually protracted sitting . It is said that the question being put , as to whether the rate of discount should not be raised to six per cent ., it was only decided by a majority of one that it should be delayed for one week , so as not to embarrass the financial schemes of the Government . We shall hear of a loan before the end of June , the amount of which , we calculate , will rather astonish the gentlemen who have been talking confidently of " finishing tho business in six weeks . " Before August we shall live to sec Consols at 84 , if not lower ; and that , notwithstanding the " Bear" party , now growing to a colossal magnitude . Let the real sellers—the " old women of England —once begin ; and with a tightening moneymarket the " Boar" party will bo safe enough . Russian and Dutch stock has not been in active demand during the weok . Russian Fives are still firm at 92 , 94 .. As to Railway shares , there is but vory little dealing in . French shares , particularly Strasburg and Paris , ore very firm . Mines much neglected . The markets close at four o ' clock rathor firmer . Consols . StJ , 874-Consols , 87 J , 87 J ; Caledonian .

COEN MARKET . Mark Lane , Friday Evening , May 8 . 2 * ocai . Tbjudb . —The supplies of Wheat and Flour since Monday are very large ; millers consequently act with extreme reserve , and sales cannot be made without submitting to a reduction of 2 s . per quarter ; to this holders are not generally disposed to submit , and there is consequently very little business doing . With a good supply- of Oats there is a slow trade at former rates . The supply of Barley ia more than sufficient for the demand , and Monday's rates are barely supported .. F . O . B . —The late business in the Baltic has not been followed up this week . At Konigsburg 59 to 60 lb . red Wheat 85 s . 6 d ., 60 lb . high mixed 68 s-, f . o . b .. freights 6 s . 3 d . to 5 s . 9 d . to East Coast ; 33 to 34 lb . Oats , 22 s ., f . o . b . Fi . OA . Tnra- Tkade . —Since this day week the arrivals off the coast have amounted to 46 cargoes in all , of which 29 are Wheat and 11 Maize . It appears , that for the present both merchants and millers throughout the country are about as fully stocked with Wheat as they care to be in the existing condition of the market . The consequence is , bui > a small business has been done in cargoes during the past week . On the other hand ^ holders have remained firm , and rather than give way in prices , even to a moderate extent , have preferred to consign tlieir cargoes . The sales made have therefore been at last week ' s rates , viz ., 67 s . to 68 s . for Odessa Ghirka , 69 s . to 70 s . for Taganrog Ghirka , ? 6 s . Berclianski , 60 s . Saidi ; 49 s . is generally refused for the latter , although th-ere are sereral cargoes for sale off thecoast . Other qualities remain precisely the same as last week , and there are some of all descriptions to be had of convenient size and fair quality . r Xhe accounts from our agricultural markets report shorter supplies of Wheat from the farmers —the markets have , however , continued dull . In Ireland there is no giving , way in price . In the Trench markets the downward movement is checked , and in many of the country markets a slight advance has taken place . Maize remains very dull , and . 38 s . to 39 s . is the value of Mazagan to-day . There are some cargoes off the coast which will be consigned rather than Submit to these low prices . Beans aad Barley are little inquired for : the latter has brought 29 s . for Salonica arrived .
