Mr. F. BINNOCR thought the meeting ought to be in vited to confirm the minutes. There was a portion of them that reflected little credit on a liberal meeting. Mr. Blowzy Burrs observed, in reply to Mr. Benno* that the minutes were nod deeply for the purpose of refresh fag the reoollertiou of the madam end of 'bowing that they Wire correct. Mr. BINNOCII rostemded that they were not correct, awi cestplelsied of the matmer to which the last meeting wee ecaveawl and held.

In the position of • culprit locum it was alleged against him that he had recently refused to support Mr. Dodson, the liberal candidate for East Sara. He would tell then why he refined. (Hsu, hem.) He lima on inquiry that Mr. Dodson was anxious to get tale ;ornament as • supporter of Lord Palmcraton'm government without giving any definite ex planation of his political principles; in fact, his views epos the peat topics ends day were 'resistingly undefined, but there were two points upon which ha entirely differed with Mr. Dods. That gentleman was oppoesj to tote by Ulla, and • supporter of the Maynooth pant. Now be (Sir James Duke) had been essay yews in ;orna ment, and while he had 'limp set his fees against state pants to any church, he had always voted Ilir the ballot, and stood up for the cum al civil and religious Duty. (Hear, hear.) But did he stand alone In this Batter ? Why, for the memo reasons that he had felt himself, Kr. Cobden. and other liberal electors or East Sussex refused to support Mr. Delano. But there was one elector who did not differ with Mr. Dodson upon the two vital (monies. he had just referred to, and that elector being his friend, and • midget in Landon, be canvassed him to go down and support Mr. Dodson. (Oh, oh, and disappro bation.) He regretted that Mr. Alderman Salomon did not give him notice that he intended to impugn his anduct at the Met meeting, or ha would have law care to be punt, but it was nunottred, Motet he could not credit It, that the alderman had repreeented that he (Sir James) had Toted fur Lord Pevenary,:the coneervati re candidate foryart Sumer.

(Hear, hear.) As regarded his candidature ler the city of London, he felt that hitherto he had done his duty to the electors, and he hoped he had not forfeited their ecadenee. (Hear, hear.) It we. of importance to the City that it should bare a man with leisure and the 'Winer to devote himself wholly to its interest ; he wain& a man, and if the electors were ready to accept him again, he was quite trilling to represent them in the next parliament as faithfully as he had done in the past. Mr. RAIIIIS Counts next presented himself to the meeting, and was received with chain. He said he hesitated at flout offering himself se • candidate foe the City mittil he was satisfied that there wee a demos of another Keret being returned.

(Br tomato Lords Jag:iota of APPS•) Their lordships delivered their judgment upon this appeal motion, beard by them towards the end of February lest, and then mentioned in the Erprees. The appeal, presented by Lord Stourton, was from en ceder of the Muter of Rolls, appointing the Ron. Caroline ebsurton sole guardian of her infant son, the posthumous and only child of the late Hon. John Stourton, • younger eon of the late Lord Stourton. It ap peared that the I ether died in tho year 1847, • member of the Roman catholic church, in which he had lived ; and that the respondent, the mother, up to that time, and for throe or four years afterwards, wee deo • member of that church. In 1862 she became a convert to the Anglican church, and she bad all eking, without any Interference on the pert of her deceased huatiande relations, brought up the child in the Anglican faith. Ths question was, whether under these eirctunstanees the court would direct • Roman Catholic guardian to be appointed, with • view to restoring the child to, and bringing him up fa, the faith of Ids Whir, or whether it wee not too fat/shaving regard to any religions ten mession or bias the child's mind might have received, to direct snob • change to be made. Upon tho argument for the appeal, Mr. Sophie., ern., and Mr. Iligehawe, jun., appeared for the appellant, e nd Mr. R. Palmer and Mr. G. M. Gifford for the respondent. Their lordships dismissed the appeal, being of opinion, after their interview with the child on the 28th of February lest, that it would be dangerous to attempt to change the milgloss impressions which under the guardianship and care of his mother, the child had received; and that they could not now make an order for • Catholic guardian to be appointed, with • view to having the child educated In the faith of its father, though such • direction would have been of course, had the application been made by the relatives of the father immediately or shortly after him death.

Mr. Bagley, who appeared for twenty four creditors, objected to an adjournment of the dividend meeting Amply because the Crystal NW* Company were not ready with their mac Mr. Lawranoe said the only blame to be attributed to his eLmta was that they had beau cheated more extanairely than anybody else. . .

Turkish Six per Cents 971 to 971 ; ditto for 31st inst., 981 to 971 ; ditto Guaranteed Four per Cent, 1001. A favourable impression has been produced at Paris by the official announcement of the new tax, which apparently does not realise the apprehensions previously entertained. Most classes of French railway . shares have risen considerably. The impost in question may be considered a species of income tax on public compa nies. To regard it, however, as merely involving a trebling of the present tax would be erro neous, for the latter is levied upon the par value of the securities, whereas the new tax will be levied upon the market value. The companies will thus be required to contribute in pro portion to the premium borne by their shares in the market ; and, premiums being so much in vogue on the Bourse, it is anticipated that the revenue accruing to the government from tho tax will be large, We understand that a considerable portion of the gold withdrawn from the Bank on Saturday was for account of the Credit Mobilier Society, and destined to meet the last instalment on their Austrian railway concession. A further sum of 8,0001. in bar gold was with drawn from the Bank yesterday, for exportation to the Continent, to pay for silver. The 163,000 1 . in gold brought from Melbourne by the Admiral, together with the small sum ex the Wooloomooloo, from Sydney has been sold for trans mission to the Continent. The greater portion was taken to pay for silver, and the residue for the Bank of France. The dollars brought by the steamer Orinoco were sold yesterday for China at ss. id. per ounce, showing an advance of Id. compared with the price realised for the previous supply. The amount of specie engaged up to noon yester day for transmission from Southampton to the West Indies by the steamer Magdalena, which will sail to day (Tuesday), is only 4,8281., of which 1,0281. is gold, and the rest silver. It is estimated that the steamer Sultan will take out to-day 40,0001. or upwards in gold from Southampton to Cadiz. The Tagus has brought about 8,0001. in specie from the Peninsula. The arrival of three vessels from Australia is announced, viz., the William Money and her Ma- Vsty's ship Electra, from Melbourne, and the Vocalist, from Sydney . The Electra has brought about 14,000 ozs. of gold, worth 56,0001. ; but neither of the other two ships is known to have any gold on freight. The dates in each case are old. The Dunbar has also arrived off Plymouth from Sydney. The telegraphic message says nothing respecting any gold on freight, or the date at which this vessel sailed. . _ _ The Bonita and Anamooka have arrived from Shanghac, with an aggregate of 1,435,70011 m. of tea, sad 2,929 bales of silk on freight. By telegraph from St. Petersburg we learn that the exchange on London was quoted on Friday at 38 1-16 d. The price of tallow was 153 rs. for August delivery, showing a slight advance. The corn market yesterday was dull. Inferior quali ties of wheat were not saleable, unless at a slight reduction. Since last Friday 18 grain-laden vessels have arrived at ports of call. At the meeting of the shareholders in the London and Paris Bank, yesterday, great indignation was ex pressed at the unwarranted appropriation by the directors of so large an amount under the plea of preliminary and other charges. A motion for the appointment of a shareholders' committee to inquire into the accounts received 31 votes out of 43 votes represented at the meeting, but was ultimately negatived, owing to the fact that the directors had previously provided themselves with proxies to the extent of 159 votes. By this means the dissentients were overruled, and a formal motion for dissolving the company was carried. The annual meeting of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Comvany is called for the 16th of April, and that of the North of Europe Steam Navigation Com pany fur the 26th instant. The annual meeting of the London General Omni bus Company is called for the 31st instant, at Paris, and will be made extraordinary, to consider some proposed modifications of the statutes. The fourth annual meeting of the London Printing and Publishing Company is called for the 27th instant, when a dividend is to be declared ; and the annual meeting of the l'atent Fuel Company for the 24th instant. _ _ _ . The directors of the Great Luxembourg Company announce a call of 11. per share (making 181. per share called), payable on the 20th April. The directors of the New Zealand Company ad vertise a fifth distribution, amounting to 21. per old and 11, per new share. The half-y . carly dividend is advertised on the Anglo-Peruvian Three per Cent. Debt, and on the Chilian Three and Six per Cent. Loans. The particulars are also published of Chiller; Three per Cent. Bonds to the amount of 7,0001., which have been cancelled; and of la Chilian Six per Cent. Bonds, which are to be paid off on the 31st inst. Notice is given that a petition for the winding up of the Anglo-Cambrian Mineral Working Company is expected to be heard before the Master of the Bolls on the 23rd inst. . _ _ The Admiralty will receive tenders on the 19th inst. for the hire of fast-sailing vessels of not less than 600 tons, n. m., to convey troops from the River Thames or Portsmouth to China ; also for the hire of ships of between 500 and 800 tons, n. m., to convey stores from the River Thames to Hong Kong. MONDLY E‘"EXINO. The continued withdrawals of gold from the Bank, coupled with the immediate txbeorption by the Continent of the long-expected Australian sup plies, exercise an =favourable influence upon the funds, which to-day sustained a further decline of per cent. In the other departments of the Stock Exchange attention was directed to the settlement, and some degree of flatness also prevailed, except as regards French railway shares, which were very buoyant. The commercial demand for money continues steady, although without pressure. In the Stock Exchange the current rate for short loans on govern ment securities is about 6 per cent. In face of the magnitude of the stock of "other securities" held by the Bank, the apprehension is gaining ground that the release of the April dividends will afford little relief. Practically, it is feared, the market will have had the benefit of tho dividends before they are paid, since parties who have already bor rowed largely will next month be required to repay their advances to the Pau*. Consols for the 8tl:t April opened this morning at 93a, sellers," receded to 937., and closed at 93? to f. For money the last price was 93; to k.

The Milan Gazette publishes in its number of the 12th a letter from Paris on English affairs. In this curious correspondence, it is gravely announced that the coming elections are the forerunners of a great social revolution; that the Jones's and O'Brien's will during that time pro pound their doctrines to thousands belonging to the working classes, and that socialism will take a quarter of a century's stride among the people in a few short weeks. A revolution In England, the writer coutimd.s, would be neither a re publican nor a democratic one—it would be a war against Property. The son of Prince Menehiloff, a young man aged 22, has arrived in Paris. The editor of the Morimento, a Genoa journal, has just been condemned to a fortnight's impriannment and 500 fr, fine, for an article insulting the Emperor of the French. The Official lunia; Gazelle announces that an unconditional pardon has been granted to Dr. Elias Zervo and Dr. G. Monferrato, two Cephalenes, who were exiled some years ago in consequence of the disturbed state of the country. MURDEROUS ASS.AULT ON A POLlCEMAN.—Yes terday, Superintendent Robson, of the Darlington police haying had information of a Lund:muse having bee; broken into and robbed, and the farmer's wife much in jured, suspected a young fellow named Geldsbrongh, and went in pursuit of him, driving in a gig on the road towards Bishop Auckland, while Sergeant Linn end Con , stable Young proceeded inside the hedges bordering the road. Soon afterwards Linn abound, H old !' an d M r. Robson, standing up in his gig, eaw Gsbrough from the hedge, lift a gun to his shoulder, and fire at Linn, who was only fire or six yards from him. Linn, on seeing his danger, threw himself down, and so escaped unhurt. Goldsbrough again raised the double barrelled gun to his shoulder, and was about to fire a second time. when Lion (a powerful etnedy fellow) rushed up, seized him by the throat, and threw him down, without the gun going off. Goldsbrough being secured, the second barrel was found loaded, and be had also a loaded pistol. Tho two subordinate officers were in plain clothes, and neither had attempted to seine Goldabrough when he fired. Mr. Robson was in uniform and the prisoner knew him well. The prisoner being bro ught before the nwgistrocs at Darlington yesterday, was remanded for a week, to allow of the farmer's wife being sufficiently recovered to give evi denee.—AfeNeliestee Guardian.
