A message was received this morning by the rathoritiee of the Agricultural Hall, expressive of the intention of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales to visit the show, the time fixed being 1 o'clock. Accordingly every preparation was made for the reception of the royal party ; and within a few minutes of the time appointed two carriages drove up to the private estrum ia Birford.etnset. containing the august visitors.

Yesterday a great robbery was committed in the premises of Mews. Johnston, the chronometer makers sod jewellers, carrying on business at 54, Thread needle-street. It seems that one of the darts, on attempting to enter the office, found that it had beam opened by a side-door, that a large sheet of plate-glase had been broken, and that goods, consisting of jewels, ku, worth 4,000 L, had been taken away. The mare in which the jewellery had been deposited had been thrown into the fireplace. The police were at once called ia, whim it was found that a desperate but unsuccessful attempt had hew made to force a fire-proof safe containing no leas than 10,000 i. worth of jewels and watches. The police were actively engaged daring the day in trying to hod out the burglars.. ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.—(THIS DAY.) The lose sustained by Mr. Johnston in consequence of the robbery at his premises, St, Threadneedle-street, will, it is stated, exceed 6 0001. _ _ The burglar cleared the shop of all the bracelet', rings, lockets, earrings, ka, leaving the watches aloe,. It is sup iosed th►t the robbery was committed between Sane , day night and Monday morning. The thieves, no doubt, entered the premises by the aide door in Hercules. p issage, where they forced the door leading into the shop. The door referred to is of great strength, being formed of sheet noel cased with wood. The lock was completely cut out. and the door forced out of the brickwork. The burglars TnAkle a very desperate attempt to tone an iron safe in the office upetairs, leaving a cold chisel in it, and breaking off some of the bars. Had they been oneness/al is forting the safe property to the extent of 10,0001. would have fallen into their hands. What is most remarkable in this robbery is that the operations of the burglars should ben escaped the notice of the police, gas being alwa left burning in the ■hop at night, and the shutters piercd with boles made for the especial porpoise of enabling the police to see if all wee right is the shop. LONDON BANK ON SCOTLAND.-(THIS DAY.)

Y., in the chair. The Citainsia". said the Mercantile and Exehauge Bank was brought out at a more favourable time for inducing sub scriptions on the part of the public than that hank, and the result war that it soon ht result larger capitaLaod also ob tained • more profitable business in London, Liverpool, and Glasgow. While the capital of the Mercantile and Exchange Book was from 300,0001. to 440,CJ1. paid up, their owe capital was under 130.000/ Some time ago a communication from the Mercantile and Exchaoge Bank led to negotiatioxs for amalgamation ; sod a provisional arrangement for that purpose was ultimately agreed upon. The Mercantile and Ex change Bank baring been longer established than that bank, and having already paid • dividend, with the prospect of paving another very shortly, wan in the 1-at position commercially, and while in the former ease tte 501. shares with 10/. paid were at • premium of from to 10/., in the latter the 10.1/. shares with 13/. paid were at a premium only .1 from 5/. to 6/. Inasmuch as the business and profits of the other bank were larger than their own, it was proposed that the London Bank of Scotland noon pay for the profit over sod above that which had been made in excess of their owe its proportionthat in one-third—of four years' purchase ; and d the arrangement were carried out, every shareholder of that hank would re reive (waver, 100/. share, with 13/. paid, one 50/. share ht the sa.4l;amated bank, with 101. pant The effect of adopting proposal would, he believed, be materially to eohance value of their shares. He calculated that the in. ..:use would be from two to three pounds per share on the --sot price, and of course with any tonnes improvement . time halloo's the advantage would be greater. In answer to Cas!ouel ItowLEv. Time CHAIRMAN said that the difference between the 101. I op in the one company and the 13/. paid up in the would become the subjea of an equitable adjustment, i 'opposing their proportion of the premium to be 30a. r ere, the other 3.15. of the difference would be re- u to the original shareholders'.

HOUSE OF L0RD13..-.—MONDAY, Ju' 4. The LORD Cilnacction took his seat on the woclasek 6 o'clock. PETMON. The Earl of BHAPTZSBITBY presented a pi , *ice from the puiebioisers of 84. Mary, Newington, into. r of ties Public and Befrinkment Houses Bill. THE HOLY ALLIANCE. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE adverted to adds correspondence which had been published relative to the revival of the holy albums, the genuination of which bed been denied ; and said he desired to have from the sable lord at the head of foreign affairs an asintrance that the denial given with regard to the adhesion of the Prussian go vernoieut to the revival of the so-called holy alliance ea tended as well to the substance as to the words. Earl BU ELL was understovi to answer in the air motive. _ _ _ Lord STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE thought the communication made by her Majesty's Secretary for Fonts Affairs respecting what bad appeared as a correapoodeece between Prussia and the other power', left some doubt above the matter. He wished to state that it was his intention is ask a question before going into the public business to morrow on the subject of the la-celled revival of the holy alliance. He was led to attach soups importanm to the sub ject because be himself, two or three w,rlcs ago, had men correspondence in French and in full almost similar to thee which had recently appeared in the English papers. Earl RUSSELL said his noble friend did not quite umber stand him. The contradiction which bad been made was with regard to Prussia, and not with regard to any other power. VOTE OF CEN'43C::I:. The Earl of MLLTIESBURY gave notice that on Friday evening next he should move • resolution relative to the conduct of the government in connexion with the war - Denmark. The motion in its terms was identical to that moved by Mr. Disraeli in the House of Commons, with. the exception that it took the form of • resolution of the house, instead of an addles@ to the mown. CHAIN ARMOUR FOR VESSELS. The Earl of HARD WICKS wished to call the attention of the noble duke, the First Lord of the Admiralty, to the recent engagement between the Kearsarge and the Alabama. Ili 'eked whe.her his noble friend's attention had been called to the defence of the Keenane by means of chain armour, and its power of resisting shot ; and further. .1 ether the government, in the numerous experiments it bad made. had tinted the value of chain armour for ships of war. This was not the first time they bad heard el chain armour being suggested as a defence for ships, for in 1862 a Mr. William Rowan, of &Haat, wrote a long letter to Lard Palmerston on the subject. The Duke of SOMERSET said It was quite necessary order to judge of the strength of any armour that the slat should hit it. la the CAW of the late engagement it ap peared that only two shuts out of about 100 fired from the Alabama hit the chains outaide the Keener's. One of than glanced off and the other broke the armour and passed is side the veseeL Two or three years ago they tried experi ment.' of chain armour. and found they could destroy it with an ordinary 68-pounder cast iron shot, so that elf course it would be useless against steel projectiles. The attention of the government had been directed to the pew sanction of the two vessels, and to the weight of the a need in the engagement ; and whilst it bad said that guns weighing tons were too heavy for broadside guns, he toned that those of the Kearsarge weighed 74 tons. Experiments showed them that having ascertained the weight of amour a ship could carry it was better to place it on her sides in a ase tinuous rather than in a broken mama. LONDON (CITY) TITRES BILL. This bill was raid a Nomad time. NATIONAL EDUCATION (IRELAND). The Earl of CLANCARTY called attention to certain petitions against the recent alterations in the roles of the Board of National Education in Ireland, mid inquired whether the government intended to unction them.

The Government inanities, Ac., Bill, the Clerks of the Pesos Removal Bill, the Superannuation (Union OlSoewi) Bill, and the Pilotage Order Coo firmstiou Bill pasted through committee. The Greek Loan Bill ants read a second time. The Valuation of Hateable Property (Ireland) Bill, and the Cathedral Minor Corporations Bill were reed a thk4 time and palmed.
