A robbery et peoperty to a very serious smolutt was parpetratut es Ihnlay evening, as the house of the Rev. TO. Idorbiu, ILA., the incumbent of Wadalay. Mr. N. Morten bee hew b tat habit of requiring the whole of his Z . family to Mimi asewles os Sunday evenings, and the par- at, se m% which is war the church, has consequently bees le looked up es Ithubv lowing' daring the whole of the M. ulster. Smug et the rev. gentlemen's friend' have N. remenshated with him on the darner of leaving his house "k a . Mme uspeoteated, but he has persisted in the practice as a a snake e 1 Cliebtiss duty. Immediately on returning from is aura is Ilwitiq lowing, the maid servant went so her bedroom, sad was al wased to find it in the greatest disorder. Sightly presuming that robbers had been in the house, the N gkrl ran, with • lighted candle in her hand, toward s the church to give an alarm. Mr. Morton was accompanied N. lll into the boom by several of his parishioners, and an examine- Sion of the premises was made. The burglar, bad entered st the house by the drawing-roan window, the shutters of IL which were not only mend with iron but secured by a strong IA bar Maid,. They bad by great violence forced • hole 1 8 1 . 4 through one of the shutters, and unfastened the bar. Paw leg through the drawing-room without disturbing anything Urea the robbers went to the servants bedroom, and • quo bedroom adjoining it, each of which they thoroughly ransacked, but without finding my booty. The robbers then proceeded to the bedroom of Kim Morton. They there wrenched open a chest of drawers, all of which were locked, St sad scattering the contents about the door, possessed them et selves of notes, gold, and silver to the amount cf 641. 18s. ; watch and silver plate to the value of 721. ; and ~.1 111. Tr liters' receipts amounting to reel. The payment cd the bankers' receipts has, however, been stopped, so that the gg, real amount of the booty is 1281. 18s. Among the booty is se, • lady's gold watch, several gold brooches and chains, • N. large number of silver forks, spoons, ladles, he., and • rit pociret communion service,_ prevented to the owner by*. l o t congregation of St. James's Church, Sheffield, during his 10 curacy there. No other room@ were entered, but the en- gg anduatine of the three bedrooms was very minute, and the tit. burglars had evidently proceeded about their work with the fla. utmost detereninatios, the furniture being much broken in ffi.• the reckless atm* node to force it. Despite their care, et however, the maim mimed a sum of money which the ; maid servant had asereted about her bed. No clue has yet Le been obtained to the Mese& LONDONDERRY AND INNISKILLEN iii RAILWAY.- (THIS DAY.) sc. ac This day the half-yearly meeting of shareholders se. was held at the compeny's office*, Coleman-street-buildings ; itt• Mr. CLat, M.P., in the chair. ti e t The report, which has been already published in the 6 Ex urtat. having been read, at. The Cll4lllllArt. in moving its adoption, said that the at chief thing with which be should occupy their attention at. was the question relating to the capitelemtion of the arrears of dividend. That would give them immediately the market ,!,!. value of the whole of their property ; it would 8 1 , shorten the time in which the old share. holders might expect • dividend ; and it would SL be convenient as a matter of account. In accord sacs with the impressed opinion of two meetings, 3 t. the directors prepared • scheme on this sub- 1 ( , ) ject. That scheme did not propose to give strict arithmetical equality, but it wool,l do • sort of Bt , rough justice, and benefit all classes of shareholders. It at. could only be carried oat, however, by the salad of at. every shareholder; and as one shareholder had re. 82 . fused to come into it it dropped through. Being Lt` unions, however, to carry out the 'Mhos of the share- 7, holders, they asked an actuary to prepare • scheme that 11 would do strict arithmetical Natio., and ma his valuation 1 6 they founded • hill. It wee • well known, however, that the BS leading authority in the House of Lords wee opposed on 20 principle to cepitaliaation bills ;lead the directors therefore . 1 , 16 would not preen the bill and sacrifice the money of the shareholders when it had no chance of pain. et. In consequence of numerous letters received from the rail- 10 way district the directors would, if it were proposed by any L6l shareholder, appropriate 251. to the purchase of • piles of al. plate for Mr. Dawson, on amount of his valuable services to t e t . the company. as. Mr. LEVU seconded the motion, which was put and ae, carried. 16 A dividend of 5 per cent. was declared; the resolution with st regard to the capitalisation was carried ; and, on the vote of 16 Dr. CI'LLIAI, wooded by Mr. HCIINIINU. • SUM not exceed. it . ing 501. was voted for a testimonial to Mr. Damon.

At a moment when the scheme for placing the Archduke Maximilian of Austria on the throne of Mexico is under discussion, it is noticed that the most buoyant securities in the Stock Exchange are the Italian Loan and Mexican Bonds, and that Lom bardo-Venetian Railway shares are not slow to follow the movement.. In connexion with the rise in the Turkish Loan of 1858, there is a rumour that the Turkish govern ment has confirmed the proposed tobacco tax, which is expected to be extremely productive. The government of Buenos Ayres continues to redeem its debt. The particulars are published of 33,6001. Three per Cent. Bonds and of 2,0001. Six per Cents., which have just been cancelled. The withdrawals of gold from the Bank for the Continent continue on a large scale. The amount taken yesterday was 109,0001., chiefly bars, making a total of 354,0001. since the last return. These re mittances are swelled by the large purchases of the Italian Loan on the Continent on English account. The mail steamer Tyne, from Brazil, has reached Southampton with 14,4351. in specie. The silver by the Mexican packet was sold yester day for Bombay at ss. lid. per ounce, showing a rise of Id. This is owing to the result of the tendering on Saturday, for the India-office, bills on India (which left many merchants unprovided with the means of remittance), combined with the smallness of the supply of silver in the market at a time when there is a strong demand for Bombay. The anticipation that the premium on gold at Paris will be reduced to-morrow has also some influence. The silver shipments by the Bombay steamer of the 12th will be large. The Mexicali dollars have not yet been sold. There was no change yesterday in the Liverpool cotton market. The sales were only 5 1 000 bales. At an adiqurned meetingyeeterday of the creditors of Mr. E. M. Abbott, late of the Bow Brewery, who recently failed with a large deficiency, it was resolved to wind up under a deed of assignment. The Shipping Ocizette of last evening says : We are enabled to state, on the beet authority. that the French government have directed the superior Council of Commerce to institute an inquiry into the operation of the French Navigation Laws, with • view to important modifi catione and revisions.

We have received a copy of a circular addressed to the shareholders in the Great Western Railway of Canada, and signed by Messrs. Thos. Dakin, Wm. Hartridge, Geo. Smith, G. P. Evelyn, D. Aitcheson, and John Jameson. It impugns the fairness of the proceedings at the meeting of the company just held in Canada. The South Eastern Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 1061. ; and the Brighton an increase of 3191. The half-yearly meeting of the London and North Western Railway Company is called for the 21st instant, and will be made special to authorise the directors to subscribe 30,0001. towards the Oswestry, Ellesmere, and Whitchurch Railway, and to concur in the issue by the Che ster and Holyhead Company of 200,0001.

It appears that cars on the American system are now being built at Birkenhead for horse railways in the canton of Geneva, under a concession which has been granted by the council to Mr. Charles Burn, C.E. A commencement is to be made by constructing a line from Geneva to the town of Carouge. The works have already been commenced, and the first line is to be opened for traffic on the let of May next. With regard to the cotton market, and the im provement in the Indian supply, the monthly circular of Messrs. Trueman and Rouse has the following : The state of trade in Lancashire continual without say improvement, and the prices obtained for goods and yarn being so uoremunerative, the production has been still further curtailed. On the news of the satidectoty Dottie client of the Treat affair there was a fresh burst of Eton in the Liverpool market, very large sales were ercUi. prices of American advanced tit. to Id., and Feat India fid to N. per lb. ; but AM then the market bat quieted down, and the present quotations are but little higher than those of the lit ultimo. As regards the future supply from Aviaries, there appears no prospect of getting any from thence for an indefinite period, as the war continues without decisive advantages on the side of either of the belligeunts, and meanwhile it is currently reported that the amount of land under ootton cultivation in the South is much less than in former seasons, from the necessity which the esserionista were under of growing snub for home consiintpllon instead of importing them as heretofore. Fran India there are reports of abundant production, but priess at Bombay had fallen so low, from the feu of an Anierican war, that there wu little induce ment to hurry the crop to nmairot ; however, as this caws of alarm will era this have ceased to operate, we may look for • good supply byand-by. Our manufacturers an more and more adapting their machinery to the spinning of E. I. cotton, and is the latter has much improved of late, in respect of both cleanness and staple—this being especially marked in the lad aimeon's imports of Tinnivelly—we may hope to see the trade of Lanashire in the course of two or three years emancipated from that calamitous dependence upon American slave grown cotton which is the cause of the present wide-spread distress.

They have been engaged for three yew's, and are to receive each from 31. to 61. per week. So secret was the whole affair managed that none of them knew how they were to be conveyed to their destination, nor what particular " busineas " they were to carry out, nor who were the real employers. All they were informed was that they were to be reedy to start on Friday night last, and that a certain firm in Liverpool would guarantee their wages and expenses, they having power to break the bargain at the end of any of the years. It is surmised that they are to be employed in a Confederate States' government printing elm, to print paper money.—North British Mail. EXPLOSIONS Or GAB.—THREE PERSONS INJURED. morning at an early hour an explosion of gas took place at the residence of Mr. F. Garstin, No. 16, Camden. lYi King's-road, Camden Town. The inmates smelt c' gas S Z on some one entering the first door with a candle a terrific explosion took place, blowing the windows, chairs, and tables in various pert", and cracking the home. The engines were quickly sent for, and the fire extinguished, but we regret to say that M rs.e F. °untie is so severely injured that slight hopes are enter tained of her recovery. Another explosion took place at the General Post-oflioe in the coal-cellar. It appeared that gas is kept burning in the cellar, and the slamming of the door extinguished the flame. On Henry Farr and J. Roe going in the cellar with a candle, the explosion took place. The men were conveyed to the hospital in • dangerous state. ACCIDENTALLY SHOT.—On Thursday Mr. Eagles, the coroner for the county, held at inquest at Makhbourne on the body of William Carriegtoo, • young man 23 years of age, whose death occurred on the previous day. It appears deceased was in the service of Mr. Campion, stew. and to Lord St. John, in the capacity of groom, and was allowed to carry a gun to scare away the crows and shoot sparrows. On the previous day he was seen by his employer leaning over • gate, and soon after some one told him the young man had been shot in the hen roost. On going thither Mr. Campion found deceased lying on the floor quite dead; the gun lay at his feet. The hen house is very oar row, and it is supposed the trigger struck against some thing, and the gun was discharged. Medial assistance was called in, but of course the deceased was beyond the reach of human aid. On examination a wound was found on the left side of the mouth, large enough to admit two fingers ; the brain was perforated, and death must have been instantaneous. The jury returned a verdict of " Acci dental death."—Bedford Tines. MURDEROUS ASSAULT ON A GAMEEKIXER.-011 Thursday morning Lek at about 6 o'clock, as Mr. William Litt, gamekeeper to Lady Viscountess Hood, at Barton Satsuma, near Kettering, was on the domainl oie n engaged in beating in the game for a pro shooting party, he was suddenly attacked by • gang of poachers, and was so barbarously used that but faint hopes are entertained of his recovery. Particulars have not reached us at present further than we learn that the attack was entirely unprovoked, and that the keeper was so much battered about the head that the brain is injured, one arm is broken, and he is cut and stabbed in several places. The affray took place at • short distance from Barton side-gale, on the road leading to Warkton. J. W. Dryland, Faq., surgeon, of Kettering, promptly attended. The police are actively employed in investigating the affair, and on Friday three pawns were apprehended on suseion.—BedJord Tines. A THOUSAND CHINAMEN DROWNED. —The Cali fornian journals, giving an account of the late didartleittE flood with which they have been visited, state that the Chinese have been great sufferers. No less than 45 China men were carried away in their cabins at Oregon Bar, in Placer County. The Chinese bongs in San Francium have since received letters from the interior of the state to the effect that during the late freshet near 1,005 Chinamen were washed off from Long Bar and vicinity, on the Yule, and drowned. II appears that the poor fellows remained in their cabins on the bar, as they had dune during the pre vious floods, until the raging waters rose about them, and rendered their escape impossible.
