Roberts and Co., of 38, St. John-street, Olarkenwell, were , visited this morning by a large number of persons. ! The answer to inquiries made about the condition cf the unfortunate men was that, considering the dreadful nature of the injuries which they had re ceived, they were at present progressing favourably. The men, all of whom permeated the appearance of parsons suf fering great agony, were wrapped up in wadding, &c. Noes of them ars able to give any account of the cocurrseee, but as some of the cigar -makers who were at work the eisar-tusking room at the time of the el plaice have received severe bruises over various parts of the body, it is supposed that the first intimation they had of the catastrophe was that of their being hurled with great violence against the walls of the cigar factory, for when they were seen by the poßar, who removed them Weigh the roof, they were lying on the broken planks of the gooriog. The following is the official list of the injured men, all of when: are still under the care of lir.

The Dublin correspondent of the Times writes : io "An illustration of the necessity of written contracts be- Si. Woes landlord and timaat is Ireland same before the le Lord Chief Jurtice at the Meath AlliZel last week. The 114 . plaintiff was the Earl of Mayo, father of Lord Nsas, who e a t WY Chief Secretary for Ireland under Lord Derby, and s t exerted himself to settle the land quatioe. Lord Mayo Bt. is so much esteemed that he is frequntly invited to pre- SI. side at religions and charitable meetings in Dahlia. 16 and he is therefore a nobleman to whom one would think as appeal on grounds of Christian equity, especially from an aged gentlewoman, would not be med. in vain. In this to ease the appeal was made by the representative of his own agent—a lady who moo had the care of his lordship's chil dren, and lived under his roof. According to the state meet of her case, her uncle, the lets Mr. George who bad been agent for Lord Mayo, held two farms on the Mayo estate, as tenant at will. He found the farms in an impoverished condition, and brought them into a state of great improvement. Miss Bentley, his niece, the present defendant, resided with her uncle for 23 years, and entrusted him with her savings, together with 3001., left her by her mother, and this money was invested in the farms, especially the Harristoun farm, about .30 scree, on which a mud cable was transformed into a substa ntial and hardeomo cottage, a? meet desirable residence, in which Miss Bentley hoped to spend the remainder of her days. In 1861, Colonel Burke, son of Lord Mayo, returned from India and wished to engage in farming. At the rra quest of the landlord Mr. M'Vittie resigned possession of the • Upper Farm' to the Colonel without notice to quit, on the alleged express agreement, that, in oonsideration of this surrender and the permanent improvements he had made, he and his niece amid enjoy the other farm during their joist lives or the life of the survivor. Mr. M'Vittie died in 1864, and Lord Mayo immediately de manded possession of the land. Mira Bentley thou ad dressed to his lordship a most touching letter. She im plored him, by the memory of his old and faithful agent, not to tura her out ; she promised to pay the rent puno tually ; she said she probably would not have many years to live, and again and again in the most earnest manner and almost abject terms implored the land lord to have compassion and mercy upon her, and not drive her out from a spot which is so small in his large ioberilanee. Lord Mayo answered this sppeel in a manner which, I fear, is too common with Irish landlords. The fol. lowing is his reply :—' Miss Bentley.-1 regret extremely the loan of your poor uncle. lie was everything that I could wish. I Dover expect to get so good • tenant. lam sorry that I cannot comply with your request, having other intentions about the farm. So as soon as caner Meat to you to move, the better.—Yours truly, MATO.' The writ of ejectment went forth. Miss Bentley took out a defence, but she could produce no proof of the agreement. Lord Mayo, though summoned as • leaner', failed to attenl on the ground of illness, of which a medical certificate was produced. The jodge directed a verdict for the plaintiff, bat respited execution till the let of May, that Miss Bentley may harem opportunity of moving for a new trial, on the chance that Lord Mayo will then be in better health." —...mimed—l did Dot take Miss Bellew's evidence. Mrs. Geese was asked *heat a mania envelope in which the will was donsup. She answered all the questions amine taliagly. (Beldame read relating to the preparation of the will of the countess.) Oa the trial memoranda were produced by Mrs. Gases, slips of paper cm which she noted the program of the facts connected with the making of the will, which was made from time to time as the counters visited Mrs. Ouse. The coulees said her sister (Kim Bellew) mast have taken the will of 1853, and she wished to make mother, and as Mrs. Oases had been a good friend and kind to her, she asked bee assistance and advice in making t„ it at her house.

Robert Benson and Co. are inviting ap plications, receivable from the 6th to the 10th inst., for 780,000 doles of Consolidated 7 per eent.

In the stook and share markets to-day the most remarkable feature is a fresh fall of X in the shares of the Joint Stock Discount Company, which are uow quoted 10 to 9 disoount. Accord ing to this price, the whole of the capital of the undertaking has disappeared, but it is to be hoped, for the sake of the unfortunate shareholders, that the dealers in the Stock Exchange are taking an extreme view respecting the ultimate extent of the loss. A meeting of the directors is now being held, and it is understood that their decision with regard to the future course to be adopted, under the present lamentable state of affairs, will be known later in the day. The shares of the National Discount Company, which declined 17s. 6d. yester day, are now somewhat firmer, at 81 to 1 prem., but those of Overend, Gurney, and Co., show a fresh decline of 2a. 6d. to se. The shares of the financial companies are steady. Consols and the chief British railways exhibit no change. Foreign stocks, however, have given way in some cases, though the movements are but fractional. United States 5-20 Bonds are also somewhat lower. Cana dian lines have been dealt in at the quotations of yesterday. The discount market is quiet to-day, and the supply of money somewhat larger. Nevertheless, the general quotation for good three months' paper is 7 per cent. The charge in the Stock Exchange for loans from day to day is 6} to 7 per cent. The government broker has bought to-day 15,0001. New Three per Cents. for the sinking fund. ----- Consols are now quoted 861 to 1 both for money and next Thursday's settlement. The price for the new account (April 5) is 871-16 to 3-16. The foreign stock market is flatter, and a decline of it to i per cent has occurred in Turkish of 1865, Greek, Spanish Passive, and the Committee's Certificates. Brazilian Scrip and Mexican Bonds, however, have improved i. The quota thine are as follows : Greek, 16 to / ; Mexican, 22} to 1; Spanish Passive, 27/ 01 ; ditto Certificates, 161 to 1 ; Turkish, 1865, 38 to 1 ; Brazilian scrip, 1/ to 21/ prem. ; Egyptian scrip, ito I prom. ; and Italian, 1861, 611 to 1. United States 5.20 Bonds have receded 1 per cent., the present price being 70 to i. Erie Rail way shares are quoted 531 to 54/, and Illinois Central, 771 to 78/.

The steamer Rhone, from Brazil, has reached Lisbon with 50,0001. in specie. The steamer Syria took on Sunday 78,4211. in specie, of which 50,4501. is for Calcutta, 22,4501. for Singapore, 2,5801. for Hong Kong, and 2,9411. for Madras. The whole is silver, except the last mentioned amount. The total is considerably below the scale of recent remittances. The " fine " bar silver by the Yexicau packet was sold yesterday at ss. old. per ounce, showing no change. The Mexican dollars by this vessel have yet to be disposed of. A private telegram from Bombay, dated the 28th February, states as follows : Exchange is London for a firstmlase bank bill, six months' sight, per rupee 2a. 1 9-18 d. ; the Calcutta rate for a first class bank bill, six months' sight, per rupee, 2e. ljd. ; exchange oe Calcutta at sight, MI to 100 Government Four per Cent. gaper, re. 89 ; IGoverammt Five per Cent. paper, re. 102; Government Five-ands-Half per Coat. paper, rs. 108 ; Back of Bombay rate of &mount, 13 per cent. ; bar gold, soi touch, re. per tola, 18-2; bar Ave. 17 to 171 betternees, re. pm 100 Wm, 104. 9,ooo . beles eatton sailed from Bombay during the week. The quotations of exchange from Calcutta and Bombay are unaltered, while those from China show flatness—i.e., are in favour of England. Our export trade to the United States maintains the extraordinary activity noticed during the last few months. Messrs. Onion and Co.'s statement of the exports of British textile manufactures from Liverpool to New York during the month of February comprises a total of 17,986 package., being the largest number known during the last seventeen years. The highest number previously attained was in February, 1864, when 14,806 packages were shipped. A similar increase is ob servable in the exports of foreign fine goods be tween the two porta. Tenders were opened yesterday at the Oriental Bank for 70,0001. of New South Wales Go vernment Five per Cent. Debenture Bonds, when it was announced that the minimum prices wore fixed as follows : For series No. 1, 95 ; ditto, No. 2, 92/ ; and ditto No. 3, 91. The total applied for was only 30.0001., of which about 5,0001. was allotted at the stove mentioned rates, which yield nearly 7 per cent. per annum. The lista will remain open till Thursday next, at the prices above given. The result thus far may be regarded as a warning to the colonial governments, whose drafts upon our money market have hitherto been honoured with little or no hesi tation, that the-c is a limit to the capacity of ab sorption on the part of investors here, especially in times of dear money ; and that either economy must be practised in the colonies, so as to preclude borrowing altogether, or more liberal terms must be conceded to horns capitalists. The Stock Exchange Committee have appointed Friday, the 9th inst., a special settling day in the shares of the Phosphate of Lime Company (Limited).
