The police succeeded yesterday in capturing a man who is strongly suspected of being concerned in the murder of bliss Father Susan Le Brun, at St. Peter's, Jersey. The suspected individual is a Frenchman, who gives the name of Francois Bradley, though this is presumed to be false. He escaped from custody three weeks ago, while in charge of the police at the Royal Court, where he had been examined on a charge of burglary in the parish of Gren ville. While in gaol be boasted that he knew an old woman living with her lunatic brother in the parish of St. Peter's (where the deceased lived), and that if he escaped and wan brought back to prison it would be for something very different from the offence for which he was in custody. When apprehended yesterday his left hand was found to have been cut with something sharp—just such a wound as broken glass would make. On his clothes and inside his cap marks of blood were discovered, and his jacket sleeves and part of the bod 7 were wet, as though they bad been recently washed. Without any mention of the murder being made to him he made several statements conearning it which greatly confirmed the suspicions entertained of him. He accounted for the wounds in his hand by saying that be received them while he engaged in loading a vessel with bricks, while it is proved that no such cargo had been ship ped dining the time he mentioned. The pollee are still pro scenting their research. The prisoner, though handcuffed, made has escape from the officers who apprehended him, ' but he was captured after a smart chase and lodged in prison. PRECAUTIONS AGAINST RINDERYEST. —The meet rigid precautions are being taken by the authorities to guard against the extension of the cattle plague to this country. A body . of forty condables, under the direction of Inspector Dorm, have been told off for duty at the North - wall-quay, w hen a station is about being built for their aocommotion. The officers exercise a close super vision over vessels arriving in port, and one of them sails in every vessel cerryiag cattle, whose duty it is to see that the drovess have used the prescribed mesas for disinfect. ing their clothes.

TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. (=To'm's TILIKIZAX/1.) ALLEGED NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN FRANCE AND AUSTRIA. VIENNA, MAY 10... The Vienna paper publish a report, stated to be derived from reliable sources, that negotiations have been entered into between Austria and France, the result of which is calculated to effect a total change in the present course of political events. The subject of negotiation is represented to be an arrangement, whereby Austria would be relieved of the double burthen of carrying on war simultaneously in the North and in the South. Should these negotiations have a satisfactory issue, Prussia would remain isolated, and in the event of war would have to oppose Austria single-handed. • AM.BRICA.

AIISTRAI4A:* (PA Almaden.) MELBOURNE, MARCH 24. Political affairs have become more complicated than ever. The Legislative Council have rejected the Tariff Bill by a large majority, upon which the ministry resigned. The Governor made several attempts to form a new ministry, but unsuccess fully. It is said to be the Governor's intention to dissolve the Assembly, prorogue parliament, and govern with the Executive. The publisher of the Argushaa been summoned for libel upon the Chief Secretary. He was denied the privilege of defence by counsel, and cast into a damp cell. The advice* received here from New Zealand state that the success of General Chute's expedition was much questioned. Matters on the East Coast were quiet. Colonel Lyons had taken possession of the rebels' strongest position at Opotiki. The Taranaki papers say that the war is not over, and that several parties of rebels are on the coast. CHINA AND JAPAN. SHANGHAI, ?Luta( 26. The news from the North announces that a con_ vention has been concluded between Prinoe Kung, Sir Rutherford Alcock, and the French Minister, with the object of improving the Coolie trade and the mercantile arrangements in the country. Treachery has been discovered in the Imperial camp at Hankow, and 77 of the Nyenfei spies have been caught and executed. Intelligence from Japan announces the probabi lity of a rupture between the Tycoon and Prince Satsuma. The latter obstinately opposes the open ing of the port of Kiogo. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (num ova OWN omuissrownwr.) PARIS. THIMISDKY E, O. The Bourse, the great thermometer of politics, is closed to-day, on account of the Feast of the Ascension. There is no news stirring, and the telegrams leave the situation just where it was. Not a symptom is noticeable to diminish the chances of a great general war. The Liberti, M. Emile do Girardin's journal, foreseeing that Chauriniame, for which the euphemistic word is patriotism, will soon be on the order of the day, has a transition article preparatory to the evolution in favour of war which it will shortly be necessary for newspapers to make in a commercial point of view. M. E. de Girardin is a member of the Peace Society, and has attended all the Peace Congresses. But he now heads his article with true French impatience, Anissons-en, " Let us make an end of it." He was, he says, all for peace, but since the gods have decided otherwise he is now ready to go in for war against the treaties of 1815 " which at least is a national policy and will find an echo." He lays it down boldly as a proposition now un deniable that neither Prussia nor Italy would have assumed the aggressive attitude they have done unless they had been backed by France, and is of opinion that the " plain spoiling " of the Emperor at Auxerre is far preferable to the ambiguous utterances of M. Rouher and the semi-official journals. "We demand," the Liberti says, in con clusion, " that France may persist in the way opened by the Auxerre speech and say plainly what she means ; let these doctrines be maintained in a congress if not yet too late, and on the field of battle if necessary." Here is the ultimatum of a peace society organ ! "If these things are done in a green tree what shall be said in the dry 7" Lord Cowley has invited the Prince of Denmark to a grand dinner on Saturday. Count Walewski —not yet putted duke, though called duke in private—is invited to meet his royal highness. It was rumoured in the clubs last night that Gladiateur had ricked one of his feet so badly that he was not likely to be able to run again. This horse is of sufficient importanae to have " false news " told about him, and, therefore, I would say to betters, "beware." Theresa made her first appearance for the sum mer season at the Alcazar Caf6, Champs Elysees, yesterday. She had a slight cold, which prevented her from singing her new fast song, " Le Csaque de Mengin." Mengin was the great charlatan who sold pencils in a cart, and was dressed in splendid Genoa velvet robes, a helmet and feathers. The two unfortunate offioers, M. Mousey, sub lieutenant of the 6th Lancers, who was killed on the spot, and M. Riquet, lieutenant in the 7th Lancers, who has since died of the inju ries received last Sunday at the Lyons steeple chases, were buried at Lyons with extraordinary funeral honours, an immense concourse of civil and military mourners attending to testify the public grief for the loss of two gallant young men. It can hardly be said that want of expertness as jockies, or the insufficiency of their horses, caused the catastrophe, for they had over and over again while training taken the Laps with impunity. The only suggestion to ac count for the disaster is that they started at too severe a pace and that their horses were blown. When only two out of the six got to the winning post a terrible accident was surmised, and the fatal news quickly spread about the course. Neverthe less the races continued till the " card" was ex hausted. A Southampton paper sap that when her Majesty was very young she visited that town, and in conversation with the chief magistrate, she maid " Yours is a very ancient town, Mr. Mayor."

Madrid, May fi, 1866. LIOPOLD OVONSiII. THE ROYAL ACADEMY AND THE PROPOSED REFORMS. This morning was issued for the information of parliament a correspondence between the Royal Academy and the First Commissioner of Works. Ina late communi cation Sir F. Grant, the President of the Academy, states that after many meetings of the council and general as semblies of the academy that body has passed the follow ing resolutions, which they hope will be satisfac tory to her Majesty's government and the country : " Resolved':—l. The members of the Royal Academy do not consider it expedient to increase the present number of academicians, vie., 42. 2. That the number of essociates be indefinite, but that there shall be a minimum of 20 to be always filled up. 3. That associates shall in future have the privilege of voting at all elections, both of acade micians and associates. 4. That artists shall not be re quired to inscribe themselves u candidates for academic honours, but that in future candidates for the rank of associate shall be nominated and seconded either by aca demicians or anociates. 5. That in future the academician engravers shall not form a separate class, but shall be entitled to the full honours of academicians and associates. 6. That there shall be an honorary class of foreign mem bers, but that the carrying out of this resolution must be delayed by present insufficiency of space, as whilst the academy is under the necessity of annually returning many works of British artists for want of space, it would be mani- featly unwise to invite the contributions of foreign artists, 7. That it is not desirable that artiste should cease to belong to other art societies before they can be admitted to the honours of the Royal Academy, and th►t in exhibiting their work■ they should not be restricted to the Royal Academy exhi bition. 8. That there shall be no limit as to the age at which an artist shall be eligible to the rank of associate or academician. 9. The Royal Academy entirely agree with her Majesty's commissioners, and have always acted on the principle that academicians should be elected from the class of associates on the ground of merit alone, wholly irrespective of any con sideration arising from the length of time during which they have been on the lint of associates. 10. The recom mendation of her Majesty's commissioners, that there should be a chemist and a laboratory attached to the Aca demy, to submit colours and vehicles to practical testa, entirely commands the sympathy of the Royal Academy, the question of space alone preventing its immediate adoption. 11. The Royal Academy has long felt the desirableness of keeping the schools open throughout the year (necessary vacations excepted); and, having PIM fully considered the subject of teaching, is prepared, when sufficient space admits, to carry out important alterations in the present system, embracing many of the recom mendations of her Majesty's Commesioners." The Academy express their belief that the main, if not the sole cause of the discontent, which has occasionally been manifested against their body of late years, arises from the great deficiency of space to meet the requirements of the age. They have been for very many years past driven to the painful necessity of sending back, on an average, 180 accepted works, solely for want of room. When the Academy shall possess such increased acoommo dation as to enable them to hang every accepted work. they anticipate a more cordial feeling between themselves and the general body of artists. THE PURCHASE OF HORSES IN HAMBURG. HAMBI7IIG, 1“T 10. The public funds, which experienced a decline yesterday evening, have recovered to-day on the strength of a statement that the purchases of horses for military purposes by agents in this town have been stopped. AUSTRIA AND PRUSSIA. VIENNA, M• 7 10, EVENING. The political situation remains unchanged. It is again rumoured that Count Karolyi, the Austrian ambassador at Berlin, and Baron von Werther, the Prussian ambassador at Vienna, will shortly be recalled from their respective poets. A committee of merchants of this city intend placing a conside rable sum of money at the disposal of the govern ment upon the outbreak of war. The Archduke Karl Ferdinand will, it is stated, assume the mili tary command in Vienna, the present commandant, Count Thun, being placed at the head of a brigade. The independent papers do not share the unfa vourable opinion of the semi-official Austrian press in reference to the speech of the Emperor Napo leon recently delivered at Auxerre, which consi dered it to be directed against Prussia. AUSTRIA AND ITALY. TRIESTE, MAT 10. The Trieste Chamber of Commerce has addressed a petition to the Austrian government praying that a declaration may be promulgated in proper time to the effect that no commercial vessels shall be seized as prizes by men-of-war. The petitioners make this request on account of the provisions of the Italian law upon the mercantile marine, according to which commercial vessels are exempt from seizure if such declaration be made by both belligerents at the out , break of war. ITALY. FLORENCE, MAY 10. The Florence press are discussing the Emperor Napoleon's speech at Auxerre, which has produced a profound impression here. The rumour that the Austrians had evacuated the districts of the Dec* and the Po is unfounded. Letters received here from Venice state that the University of Padua has been closed, and that the head-quarters of the Austrian lieutenancy have been transferred to Udine. The Italian municipalities continue to vote rewards and pensions to soldiers who shall distinguish themselves in war. The Nazione of this evening believes that no proposal has hitherto been made by the Powers for the assembly of a congress. MESSINA, MAT 9. The municipality of this town have voted a sum of 30,000 francs for the crew of the first Italian man-of-war that shall take a distinguished part in operations against Austria. NAPLES, MAT 9. A subscription has been opened in this city for the formation of a volunteer battalion, composed of University students. The police have discovered some reactionary committees. Several arrests have been made in consequence. MILITARY CONFERENCE OF GERMAN SOVEREIGNS. DARDLSTADT, MAT 10. The reigning sovereigns of Wirtemberg, Hesse- Darmstadt, Nassau, and Baden, and plenipotentiaries from five other German States, including Bavaria, held a conference on the Bth inat., in the village of Mtihlacker (Wirtemberg) respecting the concentra tion of their respective contingents and the strategic positions to be taken up by them. THE FEDERAL DIET. FRANKFORT, MAT 10. The resolution adopted in yesterday's sitting of the Federal Diet, that the Military Commission should watch that the ordinary Federal contin gents in Federal garrisons should not be exceeded, was introduced, with the object of preventing a reinforcement of the Prussian troops in the fortress of Mayenee. Prussia has declared in the Diet that she will consider the imperative requirements of her self-preservation as more important than her rela tions to a Confederation which, in opposition to the supreme Federal laws, does not add to the se eurity of the members of the Confederation, but rather endangers it. BAVARIA. MUNICH, MAY 10. The convocation of the Bavarian Diet is expected to take place shortly, in order that it may vote a credit for extraordinary military expenses. The greater portion of the men liable to military service have been called out. HESSE. DARMSTADT, MAT 10. It is confirmed that the King of Wurtemberg has proposed the appointment of Prince Alexander of Hesse to the command of the Eighth Federal Army Corps. THE GALICIAN DIET. LEMBERG, MAY 10. The Committee of the Galician Diet have re solved to equip at their own expense a volunteer Lancer Corps for the service of the country. INCREASE OF THE TURKISH ARMY. CONSTANTINOPLE, MAY 9. The Porte has ordered all the requirements of the Turkish army to be raised to their full strength, and has called out 12,000 men of the reserve. BELGIUM. BRUSSELS, MAT 10. The Etoile Beige of to-day says :—" We are in a position to state that all necessary measures have been taken by the government for calling out the three classes of the militia, should foreign compli cations appear to be of a nature to imperil our I neutrality."

[TWOPENCE THE STOPPAGE OF OVEREND, GURNEY, AND CO. The Tenet says that as recently as the past week or two, the managers of the above Ares Wined that AC/ • the meeting meeting about to be held they would he able to API' profits sufficient to cover all losses, including that treal the fraud of Pinto, Perez, and Co., and to admit of the declaration of is dividend. The beeetidwwn lian-bewkdr moult of a ruff of speculative si&lee of the Amite. The general public repirded the company with favour, and, although it was well known that the old firm, whose pro perty not many ycars Lack was reckoned by millions, had greatly dissipated their resources by a series of imprudent advances, it was believed that those of the partners whe remained to manage the new concern would henceforth conduct the businas with an especial amount of motion, owing to their full 000116:11111117111 of the mistakes by whisk they had suffered in the past. That they have faithfully endeavoured *to do so is still the general 'pubes, but every circumstance has been against them. The frequent rectum:me of disasters affecting the ample of the old firm constantly affected the repetation of the new one ; the notorious Whim of Overeat', Wateens , awl Co., the railvray contractors, operated iajurioueljtrass • the similarity of name ; the heavy fraud of Pinto, Perms and Co., the general break-up of the Finance Companies ! and the hourly expectation of a European war were all calculated to try them to the utmost. But tiers is no reason to doubt they would have still worked through had it not been for the persistent Wee of their _sham on speenistion. The Star believes the followiag is an Ippreslteete ab• went of the assets and liabilities of the company : LianuArm. Endorsemente on bills of exchange or guarantees Deposits secured „ Country bankers, unsecured 1,200,000 „ General public, unsecured 2,435,080 E 21,636,000 Assns. Bills of exchange for which only joint endorse ments or guarantees have been given E12,000,000 Bills of exchange in hand . (Of these about 400,0001. are first-rate. The remainder may be good, but are not now realimble,consisting largely of finance bills ) Securities for deposits 6,030,000 £19,400,000 There are other &nets not included in the above list, coo, !dating of money owing for advances made by the company, but the amount of which, so far as they are good, has not been ascertained. On the face of this account, however, the deficdt is 2,Z35,000/., to be reduced, of course, by the amount which the assets of which we have just spoken may producer. There is, besides, the list of the whole of the paid-up capital of the company, amounting to 1,500,0001. The capital is divided into 100,000 shares of 501. each, of which only 151. has been paid. Before the business was merged into a limited company the profits of it are said to have amounted to 250,0001. per annum ; and it was so in- creasing that the premises are at this moment in course of enlargement. The Herald remarks that the secret of the company's embarrassments has been well kept. That they wese Largely interested in the estates of many of the recently failed contractors' firms was well known, but that the ea tent of these engagements was sufficient to jeopardise the company's existence no one knew, and hardly anyone dreamed. The latest known source of weakness was their holding a number of bills drawn upon, and accepted by, certain lately constructed railway companies, which bad accepted them by their own common seal and by their secretary's signature. In reliance upon these documents large sums have been advanced, not only by themselves, but by other discount houses. Actions upon these bills were tried at Guildhall in the sittings after Hilary Term, I when verdicts were taken for the plaintiffs, subject to the opinion of the court above on the legal point raised, that a railway company could not accept bills, and that therefore no action was maintainable upon them. The Court of Com mon Bless, after two days' argument, decided in favour of the defendants, and by the decision not only the bills which formed the subject of the action, but others to an unknown amount, became at once mere waste paper. The judgment, of course, proceeds on mere technical reasons. It takes up en axiom of the common law, as to the limited capacity to contract possessed by corporate bodies, which, having no individual existence, can only enter into engage ments by deed, end for purposes authorised by the act or instrument under which they are incorporated. These considerations were fatal to the plaintiffs case, and, there -11 fore, the court felt bound to pronounce the decision which has caused or precipitated the catastrophe. If the history of the company is brief, that of the origi nal firm is long, and occupies an important place in the I annals of British capitalists. The old house was esta blished about 60 years ago by Mr. Thomas Richardson and Mr. John Overend, and was the fiat of its class. A few years later Mr. Samuel Gurney, whose father wee a partner in Gurney and Co.'s bank at Norwich, became a partner in the firm, and remained actively engaged in Ithe business for nearly 50 years. These gentlemen at their decease were succeeded by Mr. Samuel and Mr. Henry Edmund Gurney, and Mr. Robert Birk beck ; and, upon the conversion of the firm into a Limited Liability Company, the services of thee. last two gentle men were retained to assist in conducting the new busi ness. The other directors comprise Mr. John Henry Gurney, Mr. Henry Ford Barclay, Mr. Thomas A. Gibb, Mr. Harry G. Gordon, and Mr. William Rennie. The bankers were the Bank of England ; Messrs. Barclay, Bevan, Tritton, Twells, and Co. ; and Messrs. Young Jones, Yelling', and Roberts. Mr. John Henry Gurney. of Norwich, was the head of the house previous to its dia. solution ; and the amount paid for the goodwill by the present company was 500,0001., or Si. per share. The Weymouth and Portland steamers have commenced running for the summer season. THE REPRESENTATION OF KILDARE.—LOrd Otho Fitzgerald has issued an address to the electors of Kildare, announcing that he has accepted the office of Treasurer of her Majesty's household, and o ff ering himself for re-elec tion. Be believes the government is willing to deal fairly towards Ireland, and he therefore has no scruples in taking place under it. THE ACCIDENT TO HR. W. N. HODGSON, M.P. The accident to Mr. W. Nicholson Hodgson, the conserva tive M.P. for Carlisle, reported briefly yesterday, was v ary serious, and created great consternation in that city. Mr. Hodon, it appears, was driving his own dogcart from his resi dence at Newby-grange to Carlisle, on his way back to London. On reaching the top of Stan wiz-bank, a steep hill at the north end of Eden-bridge, and just without the boundary of the city, the horse began to kick. The groom, who was seated at the back of the dogcart, leaped down and ran forward to take hold of the animal's head, but before be could do so the hone ran away, galloping down the hill. Mr. H od g son, who was then sole occupant of the convey ance, seems to have at. • tempted to arrest the animal s progress, by running it against the parapet of the bridge, which is immediately at the foot of the hill. In doing so one shaft of the was broken, and the horse swerving round, dragg a enl a f t e conveyance off the footway on to the road. The jolt by the wheels leaving the keibetone, threw Mr. Hodgemi out of his seat, and he fell heavily on his head upon the edge of the flags. The horse galloped a hun dred yards further, when it was stopped . by the over turning of the doge:wt. Mr. Hodgson was packed up in sensible, and he remained in that state above an hour, after which ihe gradually regained consciousness, am! was able to recognise his friends. On Wednesday night the hen. gentleman passed a favourable night, obtaining some refreshing sleep. He suffers great pain from the broken ribs, which have not, however, so far as e be asc ertained, injured the and the wounds on the had are of a most serious character. The hon. gentle man's condition is still such as Meanie great anxiety. D READ FUL FIRE AND LOSS OF LIFE AT SWAN- Sta.—lntelligence wee received here yesterday, that a most disastrous fire had occurred at the drapery establish ment of Mr. John's, Temple-street, Swansea. Wean unable to give particulars, but we may state with a tolenible ftrm of certainty that the fire was discovered in the middle of the night, that the fire-escape was brought to the scene, and the servant girl was rescued ; but the fire-escape then caught fire and was rendered useless. The proprietor of the estab- • lishment, together with his wife and child, perished in the • flames, and Ave others, supposed to be assistants, whether male or female unknown, shared the same fate. The origin of the conflagration as shrouded in mystery. The destruction of property, irrespective of the loss - of life was, of course, enormous. The shop was one of the largest, and was situate, we need hardly say, in the beat pert of the town. —Carmarthen Journal.
