were perched on the topmost branches, 10 and 20 sem iu several ash Awes. Even the slender sap ling pine was made to carry two or three. Several trees were broken down, and a great many branches f e ll with men upon them. The police did not attempt to interfere, and it would have been hope less to have done so. s it is very remarkable that the Memiteer, which .3; pleased to say that the Czar had received an -enthusiastic ovation" from the Paris population, does not record that so much as one solitary cheer was given for the King of Prussia on the day of his arrival. It does not even take any notice of the crowds that lined the streets to see him pass, or of the flags which were hung out from the win dows. As we know that truth has no part in pnoliptinf., official accounts of such things, and, m oreover, that the attitude of the population was as c ool and undemonstrative in the one case as in the other, this 11111.010E' is highly important, and will not fail to be so understood by the court of Berlin.

THE APPROACHING VISIT OF THE SULTAN TO WESTERN EUROPE. Constantinople letters and journals of May 29 have come to band. The great subject of conversation in the Turkish capital was the approaching visit of the Sultan s o Western Europe. The Lcrant Herald has the fol lowing : The preparations for the voyage have been vigorously pushed on. The Sultanieh has been redeoarated, and a Lop. throne, or chair of state, erected in her chief saloon _fur what particular purpose we have not beard. Tele graphic orders have also been sent to the provinces re calling :Ks picked members of the recently disbanded s,f4h..,b.,oresi (noble guard), who are to form his Majesty's personal escort. The flotilla in attendance on the imperial yacht will consist of the iron-clad frigate Sultan Mah utuud and a screw line-of-battle ship, under the command of Bassin Pacha. Outside the Dardanelles the Sultanieh will be met by the French squadron of the Levant, which will escort his Majesty to Toulon—not Marseilles, as was at first stated. It is probable that Lord Clarence Paget and the Mediterranean fleet will also join in this compli ment. It has, we learn, been intimated to Fuad Pacha that his Majesty will, in Paris, receive an autograph invitation from the Queen to visit London, and as thin will be accepted, it is understood that his stay in each capital will be limited to ten days. The precise tune of his Majesty's departure has not yet been announced — both .lay and hour, indeed, will depend on the fiat of the chief astrologer—but Porte rumour fixes the 10th proximo. Though M. Bourse intimated that as his Majesty is to be the personal guest of the Emperor no presents of any kind will be accepted at the Tuileries, the Sultan is reported to have answered that " Ali-Osman devlet sallanati kadim " (the munificent grandeur of the Ottoman government is per. petual) ; and accordingly a solid gold model of the imperial kiosk at the Sweet Waters of Europe, with the surround ing trees in green enamel, and the river flowing past in brilliants, is being prepared as a eadenu for the Empress. The value of the river and of the gourd, which is to sur mount the entrance to the little building in rubies, will, it is stated, be 60,0001. 1 _ APPROACHING VISIT OP CONTINENTAL SOVEREIGNS. At a Court of Common Council holden this morning, a communication was made by the Lord Mayor having reference to the anticipated approaching visit of the various crowned heads of Europe to this country, and it was resolved that a ward committee should be appointed to make the necessary arrangements to invite such as should be in this country to a grand banquet, to be given in the Guildhall, on a day to be arranged. The resolution that this should be dose was agreed to unanimously. CONVOCATION.—( THIS DAV.) • The Upper House was engaged this morning in discussing the question of diocesan synods. In the Lower House the Dean of Ely entered into a personal explanation relative to a statement of the Bishop of St. David's in his late charge, intimating that the right rev. prelate had misconstrued his words. After some discussion, a motion was carried petitioning the President of the Upper House that at the opening of future convocations arrangements be made for the celebra tion of the Holy Communion, and, if possible, of a choral Litany.

A letter from Belgrade says :—" A curious and somewhat ludicrous little incident occurred here the other day which has been much talked about, and is not without a certain significance. A body of well-known Servians, all members of the extreme patriotic party, marched through the rivets with long beards down to their knees, escorted by a number of barbers, razors in hand, and in this array entered the fortress, where the barbers proceeded at once to strip these bearded par& of their hirsute adornments and send them out clean shaved.

(THIS DAY.) COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Con'burn. , IN RE P. E. TUCKER. The bankrupt, Francis Edward Tucker, was described as a common brewer, carrying on business in Chalk-farmi. road. The debts are stated at 5,7.1. W., of which 3,a54/. are due to unsecured creditors against assets returned at MO/. in addition to what may arise from property held as security. . . . This wax an adjourned sitting for examination and dis charge.... Dlr. Spyer appeared for the assignees • Mr. Boydell for a creditor ; and Mr. Reed fof the bankr upt. Mr. Spyer said that the accounts had been amended pur suant to the last order of the court, and appeared to be correct, the amount due to the estate in respect of doubt ful debts being now properly inserted under that head. The bankrupt had been before the court since August last, and the assignees were willing that he should pass his ex amination and receive his order of discharge, as he did not appear to have committed any offence for which he could be brought within the 159th section of the act. Mr. goydell, on behalf of Mr. Robert Smith, a creditor, attempted to show that the bankrupt had set up a frivo lous and vexatious defence to an action brought against him by Mr. Smith. . _ . . His Honour inquired if Mr. Smith was present, and being answered in the negative said that he could not en tertain the objection in the absence of a creditor, and granted the order of discharge. THE POLICE COURTS. (MB DAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. THE CAVE OF THE 241T.LEN !4PAXIMH RoND.4. . . _ Henry Forrester, 3.5, clerk, of 27, Bucklersbury, was brought up on remand before Alderman Carden, on the charge of feloniously receiving two Spanish bonds for the payment of 170/. and of 2.5.11. which had been stolen from the person of Mrs. Maria Elizabeth Walton, a widow lady, residing in Priory-road, South Lambeth, while she was transacting business on the 3rd November last in the London Joint Stock Bank in Princes-street. _ Mr. Gammon appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Lewis, sen., attended for the prisoner. Mr. Gammon informed the alderman of the facts of the case, which have already been fully before the public, and since then the principal witness Footte, who had gone to Paris with the prisoner, and had sold the bonds for him, had absconded, and, though a war rant had been granted for his apprehension as a contumacious witness, the detective officer Hancock, who had charge of the case, had some trouble to End him. It was believed that Footte had been improperly got out of the way, and that was the opinion of the Lord Mayor, who re manded the prisoner, in order that the ends of justice should not be frustrated, and he (Mr. Gannon) had now to oak a further remand in order to enable the officer still further to prosecute his efforts to discover the witness Footte. Mr. Lewis, men., opposed the application, first on the ground of repeated remands without any result, and, se condly, bemuse the only evidence against the prisoner was that of the man Footte, which was wholly and entirely unconfined. It was clear that Footte hail gone out of the way to prevent his apprehension for complicity in the offence. After some discussion between the advocates on both sides. Sir R. W. Carden admitted the prisoner to hail to appear this day fortnight, himself in 1001. and two sureties in 501. each. The bail was put in and the accused left the court with his friends. CLERKENWELL. TuitEATaxiNG A BUROZOIII._ Charles Mayne, aged 24, described on the charge-sheet sa a surgeon, residing at 20, James-street, Islington, was charged before Mr. Barker with being drunk, using threatening language to Mr. Thomas James Gs' dliers, Cur. geon, Sic., of 336, ray's-hur-road, and annoying him in his business. The complainant stated that the defendant was for merly an assistant in his employ, but he was com pelled to discharge him about a month since. A day or two linos the defendant came to his place of business and annoyed him. Yesterday morning the defendant, who was very much the worse for liquor, came to the surgery and made . disturbance. The de fendant got a crowd of persons around him, and annoyed the patients. He made use of very threatening language, said that he would do for him after 3 o'clock, and that he would put him on his back. The defendant had a knife in his possession. He was sot away three times, and at last it was found necessary to have him locked up. He had given the defendant no provocation, and did not know why he came to hieplace of business to annoy him. Police-constable David Burt, 260 0, said that he took the defendant into custody at 1 o'clock yesterday, and he was so drunk that he was not fit to be brought before the court before its rising. He had a knife in hie possession. He came to the police-station quietly. He had previously to being locked up been taken to the police-station for making a disturbance near the complainant's house. The defendant said he regretted what had taken place, but it would not have happened had he not been the worse for liquor. Had he not been locked up he was going to • situation at Dublin. If he was discharged he would never again annoy the complainant. Mr. Barker asked the complainant if he would be satis fied if the defendant went to Dublin. Mr. Dalliers said that all he wanted was to be protected from the defendant's annoyance. Mr. Barker said the defendant had better take oare what he was about, for if he again annoyed the complainant, and was brought before him, he might depend on it that he would be severely dealt with. He would now be dia. charged, and he had better be off to Dublin at once. THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 7, 1867. clean, end that he had been lying in the washhouse about a month. The witness added that the washhouse was paved with bricks and very damp. The stench from the place was very bad. Several of the neighbours were examined, from whose evidence it appeared that one of the prisoner's girls had been seen to take the child up by the hair of his head and throw him down on the flag stones in the yard and kick him. That kind of ill-treatment was repeated. The child had been seen to pick things out of the sink and eat them. He was seldom seen out of the washhouse, except on washing-days, and be wore only a truck. One witness said he looked a miserable object. Mr. Darman remanded the prisoners for the attendance of a surgeon and ordered the child to be sent to the work- house. The prisoners were admitted to bail. Joke Warren and a little boy named Herbert Morris were charged u follows : It appeared that late on Thursday night the attention of Sergeant Hawes was called to a mob of between 400 and 1410 persons iu front of Ryland's house. The whole of the windows in front of the house were smashed. He saw the boy throw a stone at the house and the man threw a can. _ . Mr. Hayman said it was very unfair to exhibit such feeling before the use had been decided. He called upon the man (Warren) to find two sureties in 201. each for hie good behaviour, and he discharged the boy with a caution. Tlie defendant then left the court, promising never to offend again. — SOUTHWARK. EXTRAORDINARY FRACAS IN THE SURREY THEATRE. Mr. William Dane, of 8 Albion-street, Hyde-park, was placed at the bar before Mr. Burcham charged with attempting to pick the pockets of Richard Vinoent, in the pit of the Surrey Theatre ; and Cliarlec Malden, described as a commission agent, 10, Walworth-road, was charged with assaulting the prosecutor in the same place. The prosecutor said he was a warrant officer of the West minster County-court, and on Wednesday evening, about 9 o'clock, be was in the pit of the Surrey Theatre with some friends, and while standing near the refreshment bar Davis came behind him and touched his tail coat pockets. He turned round and told him not to play tricks on him, when a woman came between them, and then Malden came up and they followed him into the refresh ment room, when Malden struck him on the face. One of the officers of the theatre was present, and he gave him into custody for assaulting him, and afterwards gave Davis into custody for attempting to pick his pocket. In cross-examination by defendants witness said he was perfectly sober at the time, and the officer of the theatre did not remonstrate with him about his disorderly con duct. One of them advised biro to get out of it as soon as he could, but be told him he could not leave his friends. In answer to Mr. &tram, he said he did not know when Davis was given into custody. Witness had upwards of 301. in his pocket, and that required all his attention. He did not first charge Mr. Malden with attempting to pick his pockets. Edward John North, an officer of the theatre, said he entered the refreshment-rooms of the pit about 9 o'clock, when the prosecutor complained of some one attempting to pick his pockets. The prisoner then entered behind witness, when the prosecutor pointed and said, " That is the man." Witness turned round, and then Malden struck the prosecutor in the face a back-handed slap. He was given into custody, and at the station-house the pro secutor gave Davis into custody for attempting to pick his pockets. In cross-examination witness said he did not know which he pointed at in the refreshment rooms as having picked his pocket, as his back was turned to the prisoner. The prosecutor was very much excited but he appeared to be sober. Mr. Burcham at this stage of the proceedings observed that as far as regarded Davis there was not an atom of evidence to support the charge against him. In fact there was not the slightest foundation for it, and he must say that the conduct of the prosecutor was very strange and unaccountable all the way through. Davis must be dis charged. Mr. James Mowbray, a gentleman of property, said he saw all that occurred, and he had no doubt the prosecutor was drunk, as be was very troublesome. There was no attempt to pick his pocket, and when witness and his friends (the prisoners) entered the refreshment-room he insulted Mr. Malden, and said he had attempted to pick his pocket. Mr. Malden was consequently much amazed at that, and struck bim a back-handed slap across the face. Mr. Burcham had no doubt that Mr. Malden was first charged by the prosecutor with attempting to pick his pockets, and no doubt that so enraged him that he com mitted the assault ,• bat as he had been locked up all night he should order him to be discharged likewise. He advised the prosecutor when he went to the theatre again to take as little money as possible with him. WANDSWORTH. EXTRAORDINARY CHARON OF CRUELTY TO A CHILD. . _ . Henry Blucher Ryland, • sespar, lied his wife, Hannah Ryland, were charged with eredty to a child, who was produced in court, and excited aweeral consternation from his emaciated appearance. P 1 Normsii, 70 W, said that on the pre. vious evening, in oonaequenoe of information he received, he went to No. 3, Rosetta-street, South Lambeth, and found a little boy, about 7 years of age, in a washhouse, the door of which was fastened on the outside. The child was lying on a cane-bottom seat supported by two chairs, undressed, and nothing on him but a rag. His frock and jacket were put over him. Witness un covered bin,, and inquired his name, when he said " Ryland." He was shivering, and asked him to put the things back upon him as he was cold. Witness then went to the front door and knocked. He saw the male prisoner and asked him why the child was put in the washhouse. He said that because he was a dirty child and had bad habits. The wife stated that they could not keep the child LATEST SPORTING INTELLIGEN CE (BY TELEGRAPH.) ASCOT MEETING.-(THIS DAY.) WOKINGHAM STAKES. Three-quarters of new mile.

The young people attending this special service bring with them bouquets of flowers, and the sermon is on some floral text. The sermon will be preached by the Rev. W. M. Whittemore, D.D., the rector of the parish ; the musical of it will be sus tained by members of the Cathedral choir, under the kind and able superintendence of the vicar choral.—Ciry Press. THE CHARITY CHILDREN AT ST. PAUL'S. —The cathedral musical service, accompanied on the organ strengthened in full passages by the resonant tones of four trumpets (Messrs. T. Harper, Irwin, Jones, and Ward), and the simultaneous rolling of drums (Mr. Pheasant) was as interesting, solemn, and impressive as ever. The children, who in the interval had been carefully drilled by Vicar- Choral H. Buckland (conductor), assisted at every rehearsal bythat admirable musician, Mr. Goge Cooper, °quad of the Chapel Royal and St. Sepulchre ' s, deputy - organ ust at St. Paul's, and Mr. Goss's invariable associate at these anal veresries, sang even better than on former occasions—so well, indeed, for the most part, *Mere think they could be safely intrusted with a still more considerable share in the performanceof theday. We suggested last year that they might be allowed to join in theopening aentenceof Handel's Coronation Anthem—" Zadok the Priest, and Nathan the Prophet, anointed Solomon K ing"(before the pmyer for the Queen), which for stately simplicity is unsurpassed even by Handel himself. The addition of their young, fresh, and penetrating voices would, if possible, enhance the dig nity of the preamble. But the time is perhaps not ripe for such an innovation. And yet never do we remember the purges in which the children join sung with greater vigour, in better time,orwith truer intonation. Nor could this noble and majestic anthem, which 30 eloquently conjures up the notion of a vast multitude rejoicing with praise and thanksgiving, be given under any circumstances in a manner more calculated to edify an attentive and devout congrega tion. It is in such grand combinations of harmony that Handel stands aloof from all other composers. Of this the " Hallelujah," from the Messiah, w hi c h, accor di ng to custom, brought the service to an end, is almost a more striking, as it is oertainly a more elaborate example than even the Coronation Anthem. If Handel himself had heard this chorus of glorification with thou sands of young voices adding force to the most emphatic passages, he would in all probability have been not less pro foundly moved than was Haydn with the unison chant, and Hector Berlioz, half a century later, with the unison psalm, the fine "Old Hundredth" ("All people that on earth do dwell "), yesterday, again, perhaps the most cha racteristic and irresistible performance of the children. In both the "Te Deum " and " Jubilate " of Mr. Goss, the vocal parte being in unison, the children joined ; and this afforded an idea of cong:egational singing of which there have been many dreams but few realisation& The only innovation to speak of in the programme of yesterday's service was the fact of the children joining audibly in the Apostle's Creed and the Lord's Prayer— an experiment only partially attempted last year. The effect of this, in the Lord's Prayer, where the pitch of the intoning key-note was, under the circumstances, tolerably well sustained (in the other by no means the case) was highly impressive, and if encouraged and trained to go On, there is no apparent reason why, on a future omission, the children should not join in the general oonfession, at the beginning of service.—Times. DREADFUL ACCIDENT AT A WEDDING FEETIVIIT. —A melancholy accident occurredyesterday, at Mr. Nichol son's Trent Ironworks, Newark. Miss Nicholson, daughter of the proprietor, was married yesterday morning, and the workpeople in her father's employ, to show their gratifi cation, charged with powder large pianos of metal, which are kept for rejoicinp. The metals had been discharged three times without accident, but the fourth time one of them exploded, and the pieces struck two schoolboys who were looking on, named Joseph Bailey (15) and John Cooling (11). The former was struck on the cheat, and expired almost immediately, and the latter on the head, and last night he was not expected to survive many hours. COMMERCIAL AND MARKET& MARL LANE.—(THD3 DAY.) The arrivals of English wheat, fresh up to our market to-day, were very limited ; nevertheless, the demand for both red and white qualities was heavy, and sales could not be effected without a reduction in value. Foreign wheat, of which the show was moderately good, was held for late rates, but no transactions of importance took place. Inferior aorta were a slow sale, and rather cheaper. For floating cargoes of grain there was little inquiry, but we have no change to report in prices. The show of barley was very small, and the demand ruled steady, on late terms. Malt was dull, and the quotations have given way Is. per quarter. There was a smaller supply of oats than usual, and the demand wiui good at full currencies. Beans were in little request, and prices ruled in favour of buyers. Peas were dull, but without change. The flour trade was quiet on previous terms. PRIOEB CURRENT. Riliatlia Pe: Qr. WBIAT.

ACCIDENT TO JAMES GEIMSHAW. —James Grim *haw, the jockey, has met with a serious accident while driving mat in a pony chaise in the neighbourhood of Upper Lambourne, accompanied by his wife.

REMARKABLE CASE Or HYDROPHOBIA.—A stable man in New York was suddenly seised with h►drophobia on the 14th ult., and died on the 18th, declaring to the last that he was not aware of having been bitten by a dog. It is !supposed that as he was in the habit of sleeping in • st►ble where dogs are kept he m►y have been bitten without knowing it, or so long ago that it had passed 1 from his memory. Ax Acrazss's MEMORY.—Not long since, in the mddenly discovered absence of an actress, in a farce, — the curtain was just about to rise,— a young lady who had never played the part was a s k e d t o "go on," and she readily consented. She took the book in her hand, learnt a few lines at the wings, carried them with her on to the stage, learned afew more as she went to the back, busy ing herself apparently with what was on the chimney piece, and came down to the front with what her memory gathered. The audience were unaware of the feat which was being performed, and it was accomplished with only one poor slip.— Condit/I Magazine for June. AWRY MABIRT.-(77118 DAY.) OKI O'CLOCK. The amount of business in the Stock Exchange to-day is rather limited, but the tendency of most of the markets is firm. The recent absorption of stock, the extraordinarily strong position of the Banks of England and France, and the abundance of available capital, tend to pre vent any important reaction in prices, although at the late advance prices are naturally more sensi tive, especially as regards the English funds, the speculative " differences upon which on the operations of the past month are now in course of payment. No further failures amongst the speculators for a fall are expected at the moment, the arrangements which were carried out yesterday having shown the real position of most of them. Consols and nearly all the English railways and foreign stocks are with out variation, but some of the banking and financial shares are a little flatter. There is no new feature in the discount market, the supply of money being still large, with few bills offering. The charge for choice paper is 21 per cent., being below the Bank The rate for loans in the Stock Exchange, on English go vernment securities, is only per cent. Consols are now quoted 941 to }, ex div., for money, and 94} to 0, ex div., for the account (July 10) ; and the Three per Cents.

In the foreign stock market, Turkish Eon& of 1862 and Spanish Passives have declined f to per cent., while Spanish Certificates have improved 1.

United States 5-20 Bonds and Erie Railway shares are unaltered, at 72i to 73 and 3t4 to 40 respectively ; but Illinois Central are better, at 784 to 79. Anglo-American Telegraph shares are without change, at 18} to it ; while Atlantic Telegraph Eight per Cent. Preference are slightly firmer, at 4 7-16 to 9-16. Financial shares show dulness.

An application was yesterday made to the House of Lords by Mr. Charles Oppenheim, the creditors' representative of Overend, Gurney, and Co., to be permitted to appear by counsel on the pending appeals being heard. The committee of the law lords, however, refused to allow the credi tors to be represented, as they decided that the question as to liabilility is purely between the shareholders and the company, the creditors having no right to interfere. In this re spect the law lords differ in their opinion from Vice-Chancellor Mains, who not only allowed Mr. Chas. Oppenheim's counsel to appear and take part in the arguments, but ordered the Defence Association to pay all his costa. With reference to the Atlantic and Great Western Railway, it is notified that the reply of the directors in America to Mr. McHenry's report has been re ceived, and that, on behalf of bondholders associated for observation and protection, a memorial to the committee of investigation has been prepared by Mr. Lance, with analysis of statements in both re ports, and upon which full information is solicited.

Of this amount 2,7071. 19s. is for the Active Debt and the remainder for the Deferred. The failure was announced yesterday of two dealers in the Stock Exchange, owing to large losses through recent operations for a fall in the Enolish funds, home railwig stocks, and other securities. One of them was a " bear" of 90,0001. Consols, and his liabilities reach 10,0001., against only LOW. of assets.

At a meeting of the National Provincial Marine insurance Company (Limited), held yesterday, it was resolved to continue the business, and the Court of Chancery will be asked to authorise the withdrawal of the two petitions already presented for the winding up of the concern. The Merchant Banking Company of London has made a call of 51. per share on the last issue of 5,000 shares, to equalise the payment of 251. per share on the total issue of 15,000 shares.

The total is unusually large, being ti8,380,0C94., against 52,071,000/. in the previous week, but any hopeful inference that might be them.* deilutsid with regard to the state ti trade is discouraged when we bear in mind the exceptional payments in connection with the Stock Exchange settlement on Friday last, and with the bills due on Tuesday, the 4th. On the 4th of May the clearances represented 12,900,001. The weekly return of the Bank of France shows the following changes : Coin and bullion — Increase 0,14000 Bills discounted Covernment deposits Decrease 5,000 Notes in circulation Private deposits Advance The great falling off in the discounts and circula tion is calculated to strengthen the belief that the trade of France is in a very depressed state. Per haps the most remarkable movement, however, is the further increase of no less than 1,140,0001. in the coin and bullion, by which the total is raise.l to the vast sum of 34,425,0001., being several millions in excess of the highest amount ever before known.

The reduction in the rate of disc unt to 23 Der cent. has failed to bring any acomsioa of businesf , to the Bank, as may be seen by the ab sence of any increase in the advances on private securities, and, as the deposits have increased, a further addition of 287,2231. has been made to the reserve. Of the increase of 537,0431. in the coin and bullion, about 387,0001. was received free abroad, while the remainder represents coin re turned from the provinces.

Turkish securities were in demand, owing to the announcement that some of the crown lands are to be enfranchised, and that from this scums large funds arc likely to be derived in aid of the Treasury, the proportion this year being stated at about 3,000,0001. It is thence inferred that the necessity under which the Porte has so long lain of raising periodical loans will be to a considerable extent obviated, and that a fresh security is plas tically given for the punctual payment of the divi dends. The bonds of 1858 rose 1 per cent., and those of 1862 and 1865, to 2 ; Spanish Passive improved I;_ Greek, ; and Buenos Ayrean De ferred, 1. Danubian scrip, however, fell '2 per cent.
