In answer to the magistrate the Akar informed him that both prisoners were old thieves, having recently been '...twrated after sentences of penal servitude. The prisoners, in the most impudent manner, denied the implements in their possession • and even if they wore seen to touch the shutters, it was n ot a burglary, but • attempt only. Mr. Woolrych committed both of them for trial. £ kTENC I IT FIRE HEARTHS LOMBAILD-Erazzr BANICINGHOL%sES.—( THIS DAY.) , CASTLETOWN, ISLE OF MAN, MARCH 27. Last night, at 20 minutes to 7 o'clock (reports Mr. H. C. Gill). • messenger came to me from Port St. Mary, stating that a schooner had been struck by • squall off Port Iron, and was then lying upon her beam-ends, dis abled, and rolueistiag that the Castletown lifeboat of the National Institution might be seat off to her. We decided that the mostspeedy way would be to take the boat overland, and awarding's- we procured si x horses, and gotoff by 7o'clock. The distance from Castletown to Port Iron is 5 miles. When we arrived at the latter place we were informed that the schooner had gone down about two hours previously, but as this information was supposed to be doubtful, and as the people strongly urged the propriety of sending the boat on the °banes of picking up some of the crew who might still be floating, even if the vessel had actually gone down, the boat was launched by five minutes past 8. I accompanied the men, and took with me the harbour master of Port St. Mary to point out the position as near as might be where the Yawl had last been wen. We went out in • north-westerly direction for about four miles and • half, the wind blowing strongly from the N. W., and there being a very heavy sea on. In fact, it was such a sea es I am convinced no boat except • lifeboat could have existed in many miarites. We then cruised about the track which it was supposed the schooner or her crew might be on, for above an hoar, showing a light, and looking out in all direction., but without any enemas. The boat's head was thee turned towards the Calf of Man, which we rounded, still being, as our mew thought, as a favourable track, • strong tide bowie( set in in that direction, funkiest to tarry aloe/ any wreck or floating body. All our efforts, ho Never, was in vain, and we were obliged to return without having effected any good. We first took the boat into Port St. Mary, where we arrived about 12 o'clock, hoping to nod the carriage and hones there. In this we were mistaken ; they had returned to Cantlatown, and so, after the men had been hospitably entertained by one of the tants, they rowed the lifeboat home to Castletown, where they arrived shortly after 2 o'clock this morning. I regret to have to relate a tale of such ill sacesess, but the men did everything in their power and exhibited • degree of patience, pervievenuice, and bravery such as astonished me. They lay their boat I. beyond all praise. I have ascertained that the schooner in question was the Vixen, of Peel, in this island, John Smithery, master, crew of five men, and cap tain's wife on board, from Bordeaux to Belfast, with Indian corn in bulk. She called into Port St. Mary about 2 o'clock yesterday to take the master's wife on board. It is stated to-day as beyond all doubt that the vessel and all her crew went down. This valuable lifeboat was instrumental on the 11th inst. daring a gale of wind in saving four persons from the smack Water Lily, the vessel "ono afterwards becoming • total wreck. Altogether the lifeboat haa within the last six yearn rescued 27 shipwrecked persons. CONSECRATION OF THE BISHOP OF ELY. (THIS DAY.) This morning the Rev. Edward Harold Browne, D. 11., was consecrated at Westminster Abbey to the Bishopric of Ely. Early morning service was taken by the Rev. Samuel Flood Jones, M.A., and the Rev. F. K. liar bord, two of the minor canons of the Abbey. At eleven o'clock a procession entered the choir from the western door. It consisted of the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishop of Woroenter, the Bishop of St Davide, the Dean of Westminster, the Rev. Dr. E. H. Browne, the bishop elect; the Rev. Dr. Jeremie, Regina Professor of Divinity is the University of Cambridge, and a large body of clergymen. The Archbishop of Canterbury commenced this portion of the service, the epistle being read by the Bishop of Wor cester, and the Gospel by the Bishop of St. David's. The responses in the Communion Service were those of Bishop Turtin (formerly Dean of Westminster), the Nicene Creed (Tonle in I)) being sung with great effect. The sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. Jeremie. The consecration servios which followed h►s been too often described to require any remark. WEATHER, REPORT.-(THIS DAY.) Tresr4r, MAsca 29, 8 Lit. SHARE LISTS.-(THIS DAY.) Two o'Ouxic.

N.&,6p.a.Ap.&064. 100 - - •••• Thi: forenoon, shortly after 11 o'clock, a fire of •nsiderable extent, which created much excitement among the banking establishments in Lomberd-street, broke out st the premises of Messrs. Pewtrees and Co., the well i:oen paper makers, situate at 30, Grauchurch. a,44, nearly opposite St. Bent's Church. The .z.:thog extended back to the chapel of the suciety of Friends, in White Hart-court, Lombard meet, now temporarily occupied as the banking-house of News. Barclay. Bevan, and Co., dories the building of their new establishment ; and in Graceehurehmtreet the premises were adjoined by the shops of Hews. Frodaham and Co.. the chronometer makers, and Mums. Blanch, the gun makers. Some of the upper floors were occupied as offices be Mr. C. Bartell, of the Thetford Agricultural Im plement Works, and Messrs. Appleby. The tiro originated in the basement or cellar of the pee. rises, wherein was stirred a large quantity of paper, and before any means could be taken to suppress the fames at az early stage, dense clouds of smoke poured up from the T... e, which entirely prevented anyone passing down. The 'eues. therefore, being unchecked, soon extended upwards, .:al thick clouds of smoke rushed out from the front and the various windows looking on to •- , church.street,csompletetlydarinesingthenaghbourbood. Toe street, as usual, being crowded with vehicles at that of the day, the police had the greatest difficulty in tysring the thoroughfare, and as the ooellagration pro mised, the greatest consternation prevailed amongst the I..r;e establishmeete which abound in Ude section of the As the fire reached the more heavy portion rf the stock of paper, the dame body of onsets which pouted forth from the blaring building was ,f the most suffocating character, and somewhat assisted t':,e police in keeping the crowd back. Intelligence of tie outbreak having been given to the several brigade it.aicies, the powerful steam-engines from Watliovetreet, i ihopegate-street, and other depots shortly arrived, and etre soon brought into active operation under the direction e Mr. Bridges and Mr. Henderson, the irzade foremen. By this time the flames had made noid progress, and were issuing with great intensity from te windows of the upper Boors. The firemen motioned to lay upon the front of the premier, and as the conflagration e.: subdued io that direction, it was discovered that the was extending with greet fiereeoese at the rear of the ierty. Flames were resides out of the rear windows, at,. attacking the roof of the chapel, or Messrs. Barclay at I Bevan's bank. As may be imagined, the greatest anxiety was felt for the safety of the place and the s.. , carity of the bullion end books. By this time there was 4 strong he - ly of the police in attendance, nosier the com mood of Inspectors Kilby and Duddy, and constables were so prated that the crowd was kept some distance clear of the 3 ppn.a 11 of the bank. Hayden, Huggett, and other experienced City detectives, were also in attendance, and tendered important service in guarding the bank. The hoes fr.... some of the steam eugines having been led up the thmugh the bank a good command was obtained ~ e r the thles, which at one time threatened the degree of much valuable property at the rear, and after the to-t spirited exertions on the part of the Mirada r,o, the destructive element was prevented from extending :hit directi..o. The tire, however, continued to rage in • riper port of the premises, and sealing ladders being r0.e.1 in the front the firemen ascended with the hose, and rectal a vast body of water on to the flames. At length, o'clock, a complete mastery was obtained over the std 311 fear of its extending was allayed. The damage done must amount to a considerable sum, Messrs. Powtreas and Co. and other firms affected are so reel to be insured. 7.7 E st7CIDE AND ATTE.VPTED MURDER AT C'ANTHRBURY. fi.o inquest on the body of Horton was opened Blark Log Inn, Canterbury, yesterday afternoon. . gad.

The Atrato, from the West Indies, has brought 800,0001. in specie. The money market is now strongly acted upon by the payments in connexion with the close of the quarter. At the Bank of England the applications yesterday were decidedly heavy, and it is hardly likely that they will relax until after Thursday, the 31st. The general market was also active, and the rates for choice bills were 51 to 6 per cent. At Vienna on Saturday the Austrian funds im proved A per cent Subjoined are Mr. Reuter's telegrams, giving the quotations of exchange in India and China. The Calcutta exchange is 11 to li per cent, and the Bombay j to 1 per cent worse for this country, while at Shanghae the quotation is more favourable by 2i or 3 per cent.

The following is the report of the directors of the London and South American Bank (Limited) to be presented at the first ordinary general meeting to-morrow : Your direetorsavailthemseleesof the opportunity afforded them by the present first ordinary general meeting of share holders to place in their hands • balance-sheet, compre hending •ll the operations of the company in London, from the time of its formation to the 16th of March ; and in Lim►, those which have occurred from the commencement of business there on the 21st of September to the 6th of February. Your directors will, at the meeting, give every information that may bedecked with reference to the actual position of the company and Is progress hitherto, sod will treat of • pending negotiation for the union of its interests with those of the Ifexioin Bask (Limited). This latter proposition will involve the division at this time of the profit made by the company up to the dates already re ferred to, sad hence it is proposedto recommend • dividend of fis. per share, being at the rate of 10 per cent per an num, which, it is hoped, will be satisfactory. The date for the division of profits being agreed and fixed with the Mexican Bank for the 30th of March, and as the accounts from Lima extend only to the 6th of February, lit may be fairly assumed that the profit made in the intermediate pe riod meets the question of rebate as bills current on the 6th of February. The shares of your company being each 1001, and those of the Maclean Bank 501., on the proposed amal 'lunation taking effect you will receive two shares in the amalgamated company for one of those you now bold, and it is hoped that this proposed union will be conducive to the strength sod success of the whole enterprise. The balance sheet, as made up to the 16th inst. in London, and the 6th February in Lima, shows, amongst other items, the following, viz.. :—Cipi tal paid up, 31,8301. ; deposits, bills payable, and other liabilities, 22,0921. ; gross profit, 2,670 t. ; net profit, 1,5521. ; and preliminary expenses, 4,8284 The directors of the Vancouver Coal Mining and Land Company (Limited) have issued their report, in anticipation of their annual meeting on Thurs day next. In consequence of the &days which have occurred the directors' report states that— It has been impossible to prepare sad verify the accounts, is order to submit a complete balance-sheet at the time fixed for the annual meetiag, bet the directors bare ascer tained that such a profit has been made u wdl justify them is declariug an ad interims dividend. It is neomeary there fore that the delivery of the balance-sheet shall be deferred until the first Thursday in May, when an extraordinary general meeting will be held, to confirm the resolution to be submitted at the extraordinary general meeting on the 31st inst. The share list of "Smith, Knight, and Co. (Li mited)" was closed yesterday afternoon, with London applications to the extent of 72,000 shares, the first issue cousistin of 40,000 shares, of which the pro spectus stated that one-half were previously sub scribed. _ _ _ We are requested to state that the share list of the United Merthyr Colliery Company will be closed on Thursday next, the 31st inst. Formal notice is given that a petition for the winding up of the London and Middlesex Bank (Limited) is to be heard before the Master of the Rolls on the 16th of April. Creditors of the London and Westminster Wine Company (Limited) are required to send the parti culars of their claims to Mr. C. F. Kemp, the official liquidator. The 9th of May has been ap pointed by the Master of the Rolls for adjudicating upon them. Vice-Chancellor Wood proposes, on the 9th of April, to make a call of 12i. per share on the cun• tributaries of the State Fire Insurance Company. Messrs. Dent, Palmer, and Co. bare announced the dividend due the 10th April on the Turkish Six per Cent. Loan of 1854.

With reference to the market for cotton goods, the Calcutta Pries Current of the 22nd Feb., just received, remarks as under : There bas beau more inquiry for the lighter makes of grey shirting, for local use, par ticularly for Vbs., which have brought rather better pric es; heavy goods ow the other hand have been neglected, owing to unfavourable ad vice' from Mirsapore, and have not beau saleablelaxcegat a rather cotwiderable decline on previous rates.

The line, however, was, on the whole, in a very satisfactory formation, and afforded good prospects for the future. The working expenses bore a favourable comparison with those of other Belgian lines, and especially of the State limes. The fact of the dividend not being so high as it was the year before was no ground for doubting the prudent sod wise management of the concern. There had bees year by year, a progressive inmates in the traffic ; but the rapid rim in the tragic of 1862 over 1861 caused an in crease of tbecovern went duty naturally payable in 1863, while the course pursued by the East of Franaißailway Company in the imorporation with its line of the Ardennes Railway, bad necessitated expensive measures of protection, the tone -ISt of which had not yet come into full play.

A pamphlet upon "Irish subjects" has recently been published by the Hon. Robert O'Brien (brother of Lord Inchiquin and of Mr. Smitk O'Brien), which, though not remarkable for much originality of thought or brilliancy of style, is nevertheless of some value from the admissions which the writer, a decided conservative and high churchman, is compelled to make. It is written in the fipenserian form of a dialogue, the "parties" being "an Irishman" and "au Englishman ;" but the author has shown some disregard for dra matic propriety by making the former grave, logical, and busiuess-like; while the latter does nothing but ask impertinent questions about all manner of persons and things. The first feature which excites the " English man's" surprise is that there should be in Ireland "so little loyalty, or rather so much disloyalty." This the "Irishman" ascribes, in reply, to three causes—first, "bitter memories of the peat;' secondly, "the infrequency of royal visits to Ire land ;" and. thirdly, " the existence of the vice royalty"—that court, in his opinion, "tending to lower the standard of loyalty" by presenting to us "the representative of the dominant party rather than of the sovereign." Mr. O'Brien treats the Irish Church as old 'sate Walton advises us to treat the bait-fish. He inserts the hook, but he does so "tenderly as though he loved it." He admits it to be "an anomaly, that the clergy of a section should have the property intended for the benefit of the whole population ;" avows his belief that "the Church would gain both in reputation and efficiency if the funds could in some measure be redistributed ;" and propounds a scheme for the partialendowment of theßoman Catholic clergy, to the extent at least of providing glebe houses for the parish priests. Tho land question Mr. O'Brien, not unnaturally, regards from the landlord point of view. I.as no words of censure for those wealthy propri.:ors who, "owning a very large potion of the country, seldom or never appear in it." He is siitmt about the selfish extravagance and political tyranny which—with their inevitable consequences, rack rents to supply the one, and secret combinations amongst the peasantry to defeat the other—Lave for years been the characteristics of Irish squire dom ; but he half-unconsciously throws a little light upou the motives by which this class may be actuated at times, when he informs us that " when the new franchise was framed (in 1828) the land lords, who thought the tenants ini:lit vote against their intere'ts, refused to grant uerr. leases." Mr. O'Brien otters some valuable sugcestions with respect to the amendment of the Poor Law, and certain desirable modifications of till National system of education, which I am sorry your space does not permit toe to notice more particularly. But I cannot refrain from adverting (after the gloomy imaginative pictures of the condition of Irish emigrants in America to which we have of late been accustomed) to what Mr. O'Brien has to tell us upon this subject from his own .Mscrvation and knowledge :—" Emigration has enabled thou sands of them to obtain not only a comfortable settlement for themselves, hut also surplus wealth to send back to the members of their families at home. From America at present throughout the country letters have reached the peasantry giving accounts of high wages. For instance, in the county of Clare, a poor man who could nieely obtain one shilling a day, states that he is now receiving twelve shillings a day ; and that the women of his family &redressed as well as the ladies in Ireland." It is no wonder that the poor " Englishman," after this description, feels completely dumbfoundered, and can only exclaim, " What a contrast ! poverty and semi-starvation here, wealth and comfort there :" THE INCENDIARY TIRES oirrirs YORKSHIRE BOLDS. At York, yesterday, John Sherwood was charged with the arson of stacks of wheat and oak, ftc propert&f . John nordess, at Thing. on the 21st of October la.t. was one of the came of incendiarism which c weed so much ehrm a few months ago.

The jury found the prisoner Gati The Judge (Mr. Justice Bytes) in sentencing him, said— John Sherwood. this is a crime of very "(ohms magnitude. The property destroyed was very lame, and having seen this depositions I have every mums to believe that your state ment is true that this is not the only crime of which yea have been guilty. This is a crime which deserves sod moat receive a very severe sentence. and the motence is that you be kept la peas! servitude for years. There wore three other isdietnieets, but Mr. J =tile Bytes mid that the prisoner having hese enevictad, the other indictments need not be tried, but they were to re main on the tile, as he saw no reason why the prisoner should be absolved from the charge.
