(eneors.) Lord Napuia spoke as follows:—My Lord Mayor, Mr. Chamberlain. and Gentlemen.—Ths mark of approbation and favour conferred upon me this day by you, as the repre sentatives of the most enlightened, the mod distin gur hed, and the most powerful civic community in the world, is one of the greatest honours which a soldier can pcesibly receive from his country. I base much matification in thinking that, while you ooufer upon me individually this great distinction, you do so as n.sti king also your approbation of the brave force which I had the honour to command—(cheers)—every man of whom seconded my desires in every way in his power. I may my with truth that one feeling prevailed throughout the whole of tbo force—a desire, first, to maintain the honour of England by vindicating it from the outrage which bad been committed against it, and, secondly, to main tain it by showing that England is as merciful and considerate as she is powerful. (Cheers.) The very gro rt Milian. which you have bestowed upon me is, I will not Flty enhanced, but rendered mare graceful by the magnificent gift, PA appropriate for n soldier, which you have added. I trust that it will be for over pteservrd in my family, nud that my children and children's children will cherish with pride and at at,t ode what I have derived from you this day. During the expedition I received great ass:stance from all the olliecrs under my command. and I may say especially horn the officer who has just bleu named, Brigadier- Ceneral Mcrewether, who was always ready with advica, always prepared to undertake any labour which was required. When we were on the point of reaping Arapla!a, circumstances occurred which rendered it neees saly to send him to the a-ar. Without a word lie went to the rear, it being then doubt ful whether he would be able to return iu time for the attack. He obeyed the order with the girateq cheerfulness, and it would be impossible to pay a gu•ater compliment to a soldier than to say that. ((beer.) I retunt you my most grateful thanks for the welcome which I have received from this great city as well as from my countrymen in England. It is always my pride to consider that I am, under our most gracious Sovereign and the State, the servant of the people of Eng land ; it has always been my desire to work for the people of England to the best of my ability. (Loud and prolonged cheering.) The Lord Mayor then shook hands with Lord Napier, and several of the aldermen offered him their congratu lations. On the motion of Mr. SYMONDS, chairman of the City Lands Committee, it was ordered that the Chamberlain's address and the reply of the illustrious citizen just made a burgess should be entered on the journals of the court. Lord Napier then left the Guildhall amid the c 3n tinuous applause of the assembly within and without its walls ; the entice ceremonial having occupied less than half an hour. The sword is being manufactured by Messrs. Howell and James of Regent-street. The blade is of solid 18-carat gold; the City arms and those of Lord Napier are enamelled in medallions on the scabbard, the whole of which is in repoess,:e work and contains scrolls on which are inscribed the names of the principal military stations through which the Abyssinian army passed. The handle of the sword is of carved ivory, with a gold lion's head at the end. On the reverse side of the scabbard occur the names " Zoula " and "Magdala," with the dates of Lord Napier's landing at the former place and the siege of the latter, intertwined with the monogram "1868," below which are the monogram and coronet of Lord Napier. THE FENIAN PROSECUTIONS. BOW-BTREET.L(THL4 DAY.) The two prisoners Blake and Williamson (or Cooke), who stand remanded on the charge of treason felony, were again brought before Mr. Vaughan this afternoon. Mr. Poland, instructed by the solicitor to the Treasury, conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Merriman defended the prisoners. M. Michael Clear, one of the head constables of the Irish constabulary stationed in the county Galway, de posed that, on the 20th November, 1866, he was stationed at Liverpool, when a vessel c alled the City of Paris arrived from America. He saw Cooke land from the vowel. 'There was with him a man whose name he had since heard was Waydock. Witness saw Cooke superintending the examination of a box, being part of his luggage, at the Custom-house. I have seen the wooden box now produced, which is in every respect similar, and which I have no doubt is the same. I after wards saw the box placed upon a car with several others going the same night. Cooke went away in thedirection of Matthew's hoteL He did not go in the ear. It was a dray car, for luggage only. I afterwards saw the prisoner in Liverpool. The box was examined by the Custom-house officers in the usual way. An American trunk belong ing to Waydock was put on the same cart with the box. Afterwards, on a Saturday, about the 24th, I saw Cooke and Waydock go on board the Brian Baru steamer for Drogheda. They were accompanied by two porters carrying the American trunk. In consnjuence of an objection raised by Mr. Merri man, the witness was asked how he knew the other man's name to bo Waydock? He replied that he knew it from private information. Mr. Vaughan held that this was not sufficient, and that the witness should confine himself to the statement that he saw some other man with Cooke. The witness went on to say that he did not see the wooden box again till it was shown to him in court. [lt was a plain but well-made teak box, brass-bound, and of about 4 feet in length, 2 feet in depth, and 2 feet in width. The American trunk was of wood covered with leather, studded with brass nails, and fitted with leather straps. That was the usual description of what were called "American Trunks." It was about the same size as this one. Cooke and the other man were in conversation when landing from the vessel (the City of Paris), and also while passing the goods through the Custom-house. Witness saw them in town the next day with two other men. It was on the night of Saturday, the 24th of November or morning of Sunday, the 2ifth, between 12 and 1 o'clock, that they left Drogheda. No seaman's boxes were like the one produced. Ultimately/dr. Vaughan expressed an opinion that there was not a sufficient case to 3 & committal. Blake was therefore di scha r ged. Mr. Poland applied for a remand in the case of Cooke. Mr. Vaughan said he had some difficulty, from the absence of any independent testimony, to show any overt act. He would, however, remand the prisoner till Thursday, leaving it to Mr. Poland to con sider that difficulty in the meantime. The prisoner was accordingly remanded. TECHNICAL EDUCATION.—A blue-book was pub lished this morning containing the copy of a circular addressed by Lord Stanley to her Majesty's minister abroad, and the replies thereto, on the subject of technical education, the object being to obtain information as to the working of the various systems in foreign countries. These replies cover 620 pages of printed matter, and are very minute in the details which they supply. CROOICHAVLN, JTLY 21, 11 A.M.—The City of Baltimore, from New York, is now passing Browhead signal station ea route for Queenstown. A " HACWTED Hera. "—The haunted house at Muchelney is one of those extraordinary cases which puzzle the scientific, furnish food to the superstitious, and excite the sneers of the supercilious end would-be know ing. The farm-house, an old substantial one, stands alone at the entrance to the village of Mucheiney, about three miles from Langport. Its only occupants are Mr. Tray eN his housekeeper, and a young servent eart gl. Soon after Christmas last, a slight shock of an mike, as supposed, was felt in the neighbourhood, and since then the farm-house has been the scene, from time to time, of the noises and "manifestations " before described in these columns. The most common form is mime resembling et first the running of fingers over a hollow partition, or as if passing kind of discharge, as loud as that of a rifle, let with no reverberation whatever—inerely a dead thud— often followed enooessively, kept up at intervals for days together, and then becoming silent for weeks. For some time the tin cover of a copper in the kitchen was wont to be thrown violently off upon the floor, and the bells about the house to be eat ringing. But these are at inpreeent quiet, and the newest manifestation is one of the passages, where a clock stands, with table near, against the wall, and over it some bridle bits hung upon nails. About a fortnight since, during Mr. Troves's absence in the hay field, the housekeeper and servants were terribly alarmed by the table being suddenly turned violently upside down and the bits thrown off the bails upon which they were hung. The females imme diately summoned Mr. Travel, who came in, and, express ing his determination to judge for himself, took • seat sir-ar the table and watched. He had not been seated tic,, minutes ere the table was again suddenly dragged, as it were, along the floor, and dashed down. We plai n ly saw the breakage which resulted, and heard the story from Mr. Travos's own mouth. It was only ono of several stories of an equally startling nature. The mysterious part is that the walls are entirely unshaken 1111.1 the floors undisturbed.—Poilinsit's If News.

INQUEST.-(THIS DAY.) This morning Mr. Richards, deputy coroner, held an inquest in the board-room of the workhouse, St. George's-in-the-East, relative to the suicide of Mary Ann Claridge, aged 29 years. George Washintrton Ford, a gunmnker, living at No. 1, Osborn-place, Whitechapel, said that heknew the decea,od, who was a pickle bottler, and lodged at No. 4, Osborn place. He kept company with her, or rather used to walk out with her, for five weeks past. Last Friday evening he was with her and her father. When walking with her he said, "Polly, I have taken the shilling ; I have enlisted." She said, "Don't tell me that, George ; you will break my heart altogether." Witness had been 14 weeks out of work through having broken his arm, and as he could not get work again owing to the slackness of trade, he thought it best to enlist. The deceased was very t orry, and said she wanted to go to St. George's in-the-East to see a friend named Jenny very particularly. On the way witness treated her and then said "Now we have spent the Queen's shilling." When near the London Dock bridge she suddenly ran to the railings and threw herself into the water. He ran after her, and throwing of his coat leapt in to save her. He got hold of her and dragged her to the side of the basin, supporting her on one arm and holding on with the other. He shouted for help, but the weakness of his broken arm caused him to give way before the help arrived, and she sank. When the boat came, witness again got hold of her and got her out into the boat. She bad spoken of poisoning herself, but not of drowning. Mr. John Wells, surgeon, said that he tried all means of resuscitating the deceased, but without avail. The , jury returned a verdiciof "Suicide while of unsoundmind. FURTHER DESTRUCTIOS OF PROPERTY CAUSED BY THE HEAT OF THE 8U21:-(71118 DAY.) - - The official returns made up this morning by the metropolitan brigade authorities of the number of fires that had taken place during the last twenty-four hours showed that during that period there had been twelve. One of these took place in the ppremise. belonging to Messrs. Warne and Co., Indiarabber manu facturers, situate at Upper Tottenham. It appears that the rays of the sun fell upon the roof of a building 125 feet long and 60 feet high tilled with goods, and, igniting the latter, the flames spread with great speed, so that in leas than a quarter of an hour the whole bding was in flames. Captain Shaw attributes the cause of this the to the heat of t.he sun. A fire was also discovered on Clapham-common, which it is also supposed was caused by the heat of the sun, and which at one time threatened disastrous results. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCII.-(THIS DAY.)

To-day the ordinary half-yearly meeting of the above bank was held at the London Tavern, Mr. Ames in the chair. The following was the report of the directors : " The directors have to submit to the shareholders the annexed accounts for the six months ending 30th June last, which show, that after paying interest on current and deposit accounts, and providing for bad and doubt ful debts, the gross profits, including 3,0771. 4s. ld. brought forward from the preceding half-year, amount to 41,7341. 4s. 10d. Provision having been m adee fir the current expenses and rebate of interest on bills discounted but not yet due, the directors declare a dividend at the rate of 7L per cent. per annum, free of income tax, and carry forward 3,2501. 2s. 10ff. to the new profit and loss account. The directors who retire upon this occasion are Mr. H. V. East, Mr. W. Macnaughtan, and Mr. George Young, and who, being ble, offer themselves for re election. The auditors, Mr. Owen Lewis and Mr. John Curry, again tender their services for the ensuing year. The dividend will be payable, upon application at the bank, on and after the 28th inst." The CIUIpIAN, in moving the adoption of the report, after declaring the dividend at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum, free of income tax, observed that the increase in the assets and liabilities showed the satisfactory position of the bank. There was an increase of 2,0001. in the item of premises, the expense incurred incompleting the branch in Tottenham-court-road; but hencefo rt h, all the works being finished, there would be in future a decrease from time to time. There was also a slight increase in the current expenses, occasioned by an increase in the salaries. A decrease of between 1,4001. and 1,6001. in the profit and lose account was caused by the necessity of calling in some debts. Mr. Sher iff M'Arther seconded the motion, and Mr. Ball re marked that while the number of branches and the work ing expenses had increased there did not appear to be any corresponding addition to the number of trans actions, to which the chairman replied that the transactions had increased as compared with the previous half-year when the assets and liabilities were 4,269,711/., while now they amounted to 6,298,206/., or an increase of a million, adding that the directors had every reason to be satisfied with the progress of all the branches. The falling off in the profits was owing to the very low rate of discount. The motion was carried, and the directors retiring b 7 rotation and auditors having been re-elected, the proceedings terminated lathe usual manner.
