The Lord Mayor has convened a mooting of the citizens, to be held at the City Hall to-morrow, for the purpose of petitioning against the extension of the income and property taxes to Ireland. Yester day a meeting for the same purpose was held st kingitown, when it was resolved that the pro poses meson for exteuding the income tax to Ireland wu "impolitic, unjust, and oppressive, ioumuch as the people of this country are barely recovering from tho direful prostration caused by successive years of dis ease and famine, and are totally unprepared for the infliction of so severe an impost, particularly as no relief commensurate with the infliction is proposed." And a petition expressive of these sentiments was _ _ NA VAL. ADMIRALTY, APRIL 27.—APPOISTMENTS.—Mna tent P. Loan*, to AmpAlois; and G. Raymond, to En counter. Clerk C. J. Martin, to Imperiesiss.

THE ROTHERHITHE GUNPOWDER SEIZURE. BOW-STREET.—THIS DAY. Mr. Robert Hale, the defendant, whose ease was fully mentioned in the papers of Sunday and Monday last, came up this morning for the decision of Mr. Henry, the magistrate, relative to the "composition" seised on his pre mises by order of government early this month, and which said composition was objected to by Mr. Clarkson, for the ' defendant, as not being of the ingredient necessary to eon stitute the words of the Act 12 Geo. 111., s. 61. The court was full, and among those present were several scientific gentlemen and military as well as naval officers. Mr. Henry then briefly delivered his opinion, extracting from the " Encyclopcedia Britannia' and other works, and said that, although the composition was not " granulated," yet it was no doubt of that explosive and dangerous nature, ' that he felt bound to order confiscation of the composition, and also inflict a penalty of 21. per pound on every pound found on the premises above that allowed by law, amount ing to 61. 14s. The court then heard a charge 'spinet the Messrs. Hale and • person named Boykin, of illegally manufacturing rockets ; and, after several witnesses had been examined, this cue was referred to the sessions, moderate bail being taken for the Meson.

This year's =deanery of the natal day of the world's poet was in his native town, ia more theft the meal Astiwl LssiMa, The solemn nen of the Shakspeara ebb (sesetimes enlivened by the eloquence of the gifted man who lave made the memorable of April the assaeloa he making a pilgrimage to the pasta bras mil limb) this year gave place to what has bees deaaainated a " Count, festival," but which was redly a considerable gathering of the middle and working dames, eager partieipaata in the opportunity afforded to them of sharing in a pleasant little nativity, every way ap propriate, in so far as related to its design and purpose, of justly honouring the memory of the marvellous man whose fame is every day becoming even more famous, and whose wonderful genius is being every day more universally ac knowledged. Stratford is still unopproachable by railway, though the iron roads have crept near end encircled it on all sides, yet there are few persons who have not obtained, in some I way or other, an idea of the delightfully sunny and fertile vale in which the home and grave of the bard are nestled ; yet the thousands who Hocked hither yeeterday.gave one an idea of the far larger number who would people with new life the old town's irregular streets, or be found won dering reverentially along the banks of the ever sparkling Avon, if the iron roads of modern days bad formed another link of net-work to the heart of the Ithakspeeze land. From a very early hour la the morning the stream of visitors Bowing into the town was continuous ; the Great Western Company had special trains laid on as far as War wick, both from Birmingham and Orford ; a large number of people came in that way, sad be 11 o'clo ck the town was ' pretty well tilled. At noon User; was an assemblage in treat of the poet's birth-place; then= appropriate address was delivered ; subsequently the company visited the church and the tomb, and beyond the precincts of that bellowed ground a poetical oration was pronounced, writtea for the mmesion by Mr. Onaciey, of Shrewsbury. In the afternoon the day's festivity was diversified by the performance of Illislisperean melodies at the hall which bears the poet's name, Mr. Bima Reeves, Mr. Frank Mori, and other ani mist artists taking part in the performance. Here, too, Mr. Vaadenhoff delivered an eloquent oration, reciting very effectively one or two of the most remarkable pas ages from the poet's works. In the evening there was another concert and a dinner at the Town-hall ; at the latter they; were rather more than one hundred gentlemen present, Mr. Benjamin Webster presiding. He was supported by Henry Hawke', Esq. (the Mayor of Birmingham), Mr. andenhcff, and other gen tlemen. The CRAIRMAN, in proposing the appropriate toast of the emeeion, said that he approached that subject with a feeling not merely of respect but of awe, with his mind's eye dazzled by the rays of our poetic luminary, especially as ho knew that after the eloquent efforts of his predecessors on similar occasions, he should show but poorly off indeed; the little, however, that he deserved, the more was the merit of his audience. The name of Shakspeare was a tower of strength unassailable by envy or the hand of time; when speaking of him I can only say that "I am no orator as Brutus Is " (turning to Mr. as I lack the fire of Cassius—neither cave I stir you like another Anthony, but I speak like Anthony when Imy that I "a plain, bleat man," and as be loved Caw I love Bkahmease. (Cheese.) For myself I en truly say that I leave buckled the fortunes of the drama to my back from my boyhood; my first love of Sbskspeare was such as to supersede ovary other (et ling of the heart ; the ',lightest memorial ea relic ehini seemed to my Dovish fancy "gilded with raised geld ;" aye, a picture of the period in which our poet lived wee invested with extraordinary interest. (Seer.) Even pod Queen 8e..,, as she has been familiarly called, was to me fie perfection of historical queens, and I couldn't brim myself to believe that Burleigh h ad so much as to Ada Ychead at her. (Laughter.) There is no "modern Imelmeme for which a " wise saw" may not be found its OMMegmart, apt and to the point; the men we reflect on MaMemdrous works, the more IN ass last la astonishment et the depths of that unfathomable and that has given a velum to the world, containing peressee quotable in rela tion to every occurrence of life, sail of such excel lence as may challenge the talent of man to pro duce its equal. Without ear dramatic literature would have taken a repeatable in modern Europe; with Shakspeare it is supreme—invincible: our drama _ - "...tees all the ehallanges a 6 the world; Gideon end was, he converted it into a feast of reason for men of edu nation and refinement. (Chasm.) The age of Elisabeth may well, indeed, be called the golden age of literature what it could boast a Shakspeare ; s contemporary, who flourished with him—Ben Jonson—has said that • man could not be a poet without being a good man. Of our bard he has aise said that be was of an honest, good, and open nature. For myself, I can only say that I love the man and honour his memory in the fullest sense of the words on this side of idolatry. (Cheers.) I give now " the immortal memory of William Shekspeare." The MAYOR Of BIRMINOHMI next proposed in an eio rest speech—" Mr. Sheridan Knowles sad oar National Y it To this tout was suoceeded the health of " Mr. Vanden hoff,"whe in r spending, declared that be had entered upon his professional career by playing in a tiara at Stratford forty-five years ago.

The following is a copy of a circular that has been issued by the Department of State at Wuhiagton, relative to the Industrial Exhibition at New York— " Department of State, Wasbingws, March 31, 1863. " Sin,—lnquiries having been addressed to this depart ment on the subject of the admission of inch articles u may be contributed by the Sovereigns of Europe and other friendly powers, to the New York Crystal Palace Exhi bition, I deem it proper to acquaint you with the views and intentions of the Treasury department in relation to the matter. " lon are aware, doubtless, that in ordinary cases, the laws require that if goods are not accompanied by invoices, importers shall give bond to produce invoices, which must be sworn to by the actual owner. It is believed that no difficulty will arise on the part of individual owners in complying with these requisitions; and the Treasury de partment has issued regulations upon the subject, with special references to the Crystal Palace Exhibition, which which are based upon this assumption. " It cannot be required, however, nor, indeed, expected, that those Sovereigns who have taken, or may take, an in terest in this exhibition would conform to the minor details and technicalities imposed upon private individuals; to avoid, therefore, the tedious and, in such cues, unnecea sary formalities of furnishleg invoices, • swearing to the actual cost of articles, &e., it is proposed by the Treasury department, as due to the comity and good will so happily subsisting between the United States and other nations, to make exceptions to the usual course in favour of such powers as contribute to the New York Exhibition. " You will, therefore, embrace an early opportunity to inform the government of Great Britain that such an arrangement will be mid° in their favour. At the same time, it will be understood that this exception governs those eases in which articles are entered for exhibition solely. Should "any articles placed on exhibition remain in the United States for consumption, it will be expected that a statement of their cost will be seat to the Custom-house for its appraisement.—l am, &c. (Signed) " W. L. MAacY." RsiLwAY Aers.—Yesterday a return was issued respecting railway acts passed in 1852.. In the year 51 acts were pared.

After being sold at 1001 for money, Consols went buyers at 101 for time, and finally closed 1001 to 101 for cash and the 12th May, with a steady appearance. Business was mo- 1 derately active, and every disposition is shown to support the market, in anticipation of the govern ment carrying their financial measures through in triumph. The government broker made an invest ment in Reduced Threes at 1001, and also in South Sea New Annuities. The official business list in cludes : Three per Cent.

The Exchequer Bill market remains dull, with limited transactions. The June bills mark 4s. to Bs. premium, whilst the March issue was sold at 3s. premium. In the foreign stock market, the chief feature was a further decline in Dutch stocks, following the Am sterdam bourse. The Four per Cents, have declined to 94 to 95, and the Two-and-a-Half per Cents. to 64. The fall is presumed to be connected with the religions agitation in Holland. Mexican Bonds were rather firmer this afternoon, with the progress of the settling. Spanish securities, on the other hand, are flatter, including both the Deferred and the Certificates. Greek Bonds fully maintain their late rise. Ecuador are flatter. Other stocks p re . I sent no feature, business being chiefly confined to the settling. At 4 o'clock Mexican 'Bonds were quoted 271 to 1; Peruvian Deferred, 68 to 69 ; do. Scrip, 31 to 41 premium ; Spanish Deferred, 281 to ; the Certificates, 6I to T, per cent. The list of actual sa l es includes : Austrian Five per Cent. Bonds, 1832, 101. Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 1001 (exchange, 25f.) Brazilian Old Five per Cent. Small Bonds, 101; ditto, Five per Cents. (Rothschild's), 1001; ditto, Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 1852,1001. Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents., 61 1, 6.51, 641 • ditto, Four per Cent. Certifs., 95.

The money market is easy, but there is still a fair demand for accommodation, and the leading Lom bard-street houses as yet do no business under 21 per cent., the current quotation for discount of first class bills being 21 to 21, or, with a wider margin, 21 to 3 per cent. In quarters, in which a more limited business is usually done, a eduction from these rates has been in some eases submitted to, but the quota tions above given appear to mark the present range of the market for actual business. A grave case of embarrassment, in connexion with the iron trade, formed the subject of current conversation to-day. The bills of a party who has been speculating largely for the rise in iron were to-day returned, and it is stated that there is no re source but a suspension of payment. The liabilities involved are estimated at as high as half a million sterling. The consequence is a fall of 3s. or 4s. in the price of pig iron, which has receded to 50s. This time twelve months ago the price ruled at 38s. to 40e., and last autumn it rose as high as 78s. In I view of the immense fluctuation exhibited in these figures, and with the knowledge that it was in a great measure prompted by extensive speculation, little surprise can be felt at cases of embarrass ment. Four arrivals from Australia were reported to day. The particulars aro shown below. . . Amount of gold on board. Where from. Data of sailing. Ounces. Sir Robert Salo Geelong Dec. 25 .. 13,836 Clifton Jno. Taylor Port Philip .. Dec. 28 11,847 Brilliant Exclusive of such quantity of gold as may be brought by the Brilliant, wo have here a total of 63,190 ounces, worth 212,8001. The passengers have also, in all probability, further sums on hand. The dates by the Brilliant are two days later than those previously to hand. Some interest was excited this afternoon by the fact, as announced by electric telegraph, that the Atlantic, which has arrived at Liverpool from New York, brings over 264,000 dols. (about 32,800 L) As indicating the long expected resumption of remit tances of the precious metals to this side, this arrival is of importance. In connexion with the discussions now pending on the budget it may be mentioned that strong exertions are being made in the City by parties who wish to make the wholesale dealers in each of the various trades take out licenses, upon a similar plan to that proposed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. It is I urged that by including all wholesale houses as licensed dealers a very considerable revenue would be obtainable, whilst at the same time, owing to the transactions f such firms being generally so exten sive, a moderate impost of the .nature referred to would not be felt as a burden. Notice has been issued to the shareholders of the Isle of Wight Railway Company that they can re ceive back their deposits, minus 3e. 7d. per share, being the amount of the expenses incurred, on pre- sentation of their scrip, or bankers' receipts, on the 29th and 30th inst., and the 2nd and 3rd of May. A special general meeting of the shareholders of the London and South Western Railway Company has been calved for the 19th May, " for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of promot ing a continuation of this company's railway from ' Dorchester to Exeter; of considering generally the company's interests in the west of England, as now affected by the measures of other companies ; and of authorising the necessary measures for carrying the determination of the meeting into effect." Oa the I 1 th May will be held a special general meeting of the Victoria London Dock Company, for the purpose of submitting to the approval of the proprietors the bill now before parliament having for its object the amending of the company's act and the obtaining of authority for the construction of addi tional works. Australian Agricultural shares were firmer to-day at 83 to 85. British American, South Australian, and Van Diemen's Land shares were all better now that the pressure of the settling has been got through. Australasia and Union Bank of Australia showed a decided rally, and the other Australian bank shares were firmer. Shares of the London and Westminster Bank were done at 36 ; Provincial Bank of Ireland, 49; Australian Royal Mail Steam (61. paid), 4!; General Screw Steam Shipping (121. paid), 10i ; Peninsular and Oriental Steam, 83 ; ditto (251. paid), 46. Grand Trunk of Canada Railway shares closed 1 to 11 prem. ; Grand Central of France, 27, to 3 prem.; and Berlin Waterworks, to prem. Holders of bankers' re ceipts in this last-named undertaking are called upon to sign the deed of settlement by the 2nd May, aft e r which date shares unsigned for will be liable to for feiture.

BRITISH LADIES' FEMALE EMIGRANT SOCIETY.- Yesterday, the fourth annual meeting of this society took place at the Hanover-square Rooms, the Earl of Harrowby in the chair. The report stated that during the put year the visitation of emigrants had been actively earned on at the ports of London, Plymouth, Bristol, Liverpool, and Birkenhead, and at the two latter places visiting commit. tees had been formed since the publication of the lut re port. Up to November 1852, 52,301 government emigrants bad been visited at the various ports ; books and work had been given, and hospital bags, for the use of the married women, provided at the expense of the society. The outlay necessary to meet this demand during the put year, and the expense incurred on behalf of the private emigrants, had. quite exhausted the funds. An appeal was made to the public for support, but without success, and the Committee then applied to her Majesty's Emigration Commissioners for assistance on behalf of the emigrants sent out under their auspices ; the application was most kindly responded to, and the tender issued by the commissioners for the supply of ma terials for employment, and for the hospital bags, was taken up by the committee, who entered into a contract for six months to supply the requisite amount of materials at a specified sum. During the past year a German missionary had been employed by the Leiden City Mission, and he had visited nearly 9,000 emigrants, chiefly Germans, at the depot near the docks. The total number of ships visited during the year was 238, the probable number of emigrants on board being about 71,992. The total receipts from April, 1852, to April, 1853, amounted to 1,025/. 12s. 7d., and the balance in band to 190/. 115. 515., makings total of 1,2161. 4s. Oid., whilst the total expenditure was 958/. Os. Old., which left a balance in band of 2.58/. 4s. This report was adopted, and resolutions were passed in further ance of the objects of the society. BELFAST AND BALLYMENA RAILWAY.-The com mittee, in declaring the preamble of this bill proved, state that the additional capital authorised to be raised by it for the execution of the new line is 200,000/., with power to borrow 40,0001. ; that the amount of shares subscribed is 151,8751., and the deposits paid 15,1871., and the line 27 miles.
