WORKHOUSE MEDICAL OFFICERS. —Tho Poor law Board has recently addressed to the medical officers of the London workhouses a series of questions concerning the present accommodation, nursing, and treatment of the sick poor in workhouse infirmaries, and having asked for salions on the subject, the medical officers met on Wednesday in conference at the Freemasons' Tavern and agreed upon certain principles which should guide their answers. The experience of several was given as to pauper nurses. One medical officer stated that he had lately found that of 13 pauper nurses only one could read, and how they had distributed the medicines or of what use his labels end directions had been it was difficult to say. Another said that his nurses were good, except that they were universally drunken in their habits. Another, that his nurses were over 60, and he had found one this week to be imbecile. All agreed that it was not safe to trust pauper nurses with stimulants for the pa tients. A resolution was passed unanimously that pauper nurses were insufficiently trained and untrustworthy, and should be substituted by paid nurses. On the subject of space it was resolved that not less than 1,000 cubic feet of air and 80 feet of area per bed could be asked for to sick paupers, that being the allowance of sick convicts, and less than the allowance of sick soldiers. In military hospitals 1,200 feet is the minimum, and the London hospitals give from 1,500 to 2,000 feet. The present average in in firmaries of workhouses is about 500 feet, often less, and 30 to 40 feet of area per bed. As to light, they asked for one window to two beds, which is the military allowance. One medical officer said that he had only one to 4i beds, and others bad less light than that. Instances were quoted by medical officers present to illustrate the im portance of having resident medical officers, and of re lieving the medical officer from the charge of providing the drugs which he prescribes. In order to carry out these requirements and to give day rooms to the infirm it was stated that every workhouse in London would require to be considerably enlarged, and that a majority would need to be reconstructed in a manner to fit them for receiving sick persons. OPENING OF A NEW PARK. AT BOLTON.—Yes terday the inhabitants of Bolton devoted one day of their holiday week to the opening of two new places of popular resort—a recreation ground and a park. From the houses banners were displayed in profwiion, and throughout the day the town was in a state of unusual excitement. The first portion of the day's programme was com menced at noon, when a procession, including many members of the Town Council, visitors and inhabitants, formed in the Market-place, and proceeded to open the Heywood Recreation Ground, which is situated in Lever street. In 1862 Mr. Robert Heywood, who is an alderman of the Bolton Corporation, presented to the town four acres of land for the purposes of a recreation ground. Since that time the town council have purchased from the trustees of the adjacent property about five acres of the land which belonged to the late Mr. Holden. It was re solved to name the ground, after the munificent donor, who yesterday publicly executed the deed conveying his gift to the public ; and the ground was declared to be opened.—Mondieger Geordies.

Ws o'Cluxic. The dealings in public securities to-day are upon a very limited scale, and prices generally exhibit no alteration. The markets on the whole are steadier, especially as regards bank shares. Agra and Masterman's and Alliance ere quoted 16 to 19 and 111 to 104 dia. respectively, being the same as at 4 o'clock yesterday. The funds and most of the foreign stocks are unchanged, but there is a demand for Italian Bonds of 1861, at an advance. British railways have declined in some instances, the chief reduction being in London and North Western. Financial shares and American securities are quiet. There is no change in the discount market. The supply of money is good, but, owing to the existing distrust, and the unsatisfactory character of the ' Bank of England return, the rate for the best paper is 10 per cent. and upwards. Amongst the changes in the Bank of Franoe re turn are an increase of 880,000/. in the coin and bullion, and of 453,6001. in the bills discounted. Consols are now quoted 86i to 3 , with div., for money, and 86} to it, ex div., for the account (June 6). The foreign stock market is inactive, and the only variations are a rise of i per cent. in Italian of 1861 and a decline of i in Turkish of 1865. Turkish Bonds of 1862 are now quoted 56 to i5B ; ditto of 1865, 29} to I ; Greek, 9 to 10 ; Spanish IPaadve, 18 to 4 ; ditto Certificates, 13 to 4; Italian of 1861, 394 to 40 ; Brazilian scrip, 9 to 8 die. ; and Mexican, 164 to 4. American securities show no alteration. 5-20 Bonds are now quoted 64 to ; Erie Railway shares, 41i to 42 ; and Illinois Central, 74 to 76. International Financial shares are now quoted 21- to 2 dia. ; London Financial, 16 to 14 dia.; General Credit, 31 to 2i dia. ; Imperial Mercantile, 10 to 9 dia. ; Credit Foncier, ai to 3} dis. ; Overend, ' Gurney, and Co., 18 to 16 dis. ; and National Discount, to 6 prem. HALF-PAST THREE O'CLOCK. Consols are steady, at 8& to f, with div., for money, and 86f to i, ex div., for the account. About 28,0001. in gold has been withdrawn from the Bank for exportation, and 23,000/. sent in. At Paris this morning, the Three per Cent. Rentes opened at 64.30, showing a fresh advance of nearly i per cent. The amount of government bills on India for which tenders will be received at the Bank of Eng land on the 6th of June will be rupees 32,50,000 (325,0001,) Messrs. Macculloch, John, and Co., of Liver pool, East India merchants, chiefly in the Bom bay trade, yesterday stopped payment. The lia bilities are estimated at nearly three-quarters of a million, and as the result of the estate depends upon the realisation of cotton, the market for which is in a very unfavourable state, it is feared that the deficiency will be large. The principal creditors are the Anglo-Indian banks. The part ners formerly acted as managers for two of those establishments, and have been in business on their own account only about two years. Subjoined is the circular issued : Liverpool, May 24. We regret to inform you that in consequence of the very serious depreciation in the value of cotton and the monetary panic prevailing in Bombay, we have been com pelled to suspend our payments. We shall place our books in the hands of Messrs. Harmood, Banner, and Bon, who will without delay prepare a statement of our affairs, which shall be submitted to you at an early date.—Mean time soliciting your forbearance, we remain, your. I faithfully, MACCULLOCH, JOHN, and Co. A statement of the affairs of Messrs. S. P. Framjee and Co., whose suspenaion was announced on Saturday last, is, with the assent of the prin cipal creditors, being prepared by Messrs. Price, Holyland, and Waterhouse. The liabilities are said to be about 400,0001., a large proportion of which will be covered by securities. Mr. Coleman, of the fi rm of Coleman , Turquand, Youngs, and Co., has been appointed by the Court of Chancery provisional official liquidator of the Bank of London. The object of this arrange ment is of course to protect the shareholders and all those parts of the business which are not taken over by the Consolidated Bank, but it has no bear ing upon the arrangement with that bank. The following circular has been forwarded to the shareholders of the Bank of London : ----------- - I son instructed by the directors to inform you that, owing to the pressure of • continued withdrawal of deposits, consequent upon the recent financial crisis, they have, after the most anxious consideration, felt themselves compelled, in the interests both of the customers and shareholders, to make arrangements for the transfer of the deposit and current accounts of this bank to the ('onsoli dated Bank (Limited), who have undertaken to provide for and meet the same, and who will carry on their business at the premises heretofore occupied by this bank, so that all the banking operations of the customers may be con tinued without any impediment. A meeting of shareholders will be called for an early day, when full explanations will be given, and a resolution proposed for the winding-up of the bank ; and in the meantime, with a view to protect the interests of all parties, • petition to the Court of Chancery has been presented, and an order made for the appoint ment of Mr. J. E. Coleman as provisional official liqui dator. The directors entertain a confident hope that the liquidation will be of • favourable character.—l am, your obedient servant, W. 0. ALLENDER, Secretary. London, May 24. With reference to the affairs of the European Bank (Limited), the annexed circular has been sent to the shareholders : Sir,—The directors of the European Bank having issued proxies to the shareholders, and invited their support at the meeting called for the 29th instant, the undersigned shareholders think it right to direct attention to the fact, and to suggest that the shareholders withhold any proxies and decide for then.selves what course shall be taken. With a view to ascertaining the independent opinion of the shareholders prior to the general meeting, and to assist to guide the proceedings at that meeting towards the best means of securing • liquidation that shall have the con fidence of the shareholders, and enable them to trace home the causes of the collapse of the bank, the undersigned in vite your attendance at a private meeting at the London Tavern, on Monday next, at two o clock.—We are, sir, your most obedient servants, (Signed) JOHN VENABLES, EDWARD STERNER, EDWARD WOLFF, Mitrrimw HENRY CHAPYIN.

The Best 3,385,677 Increase 42,466 Notes in reserve Total reserve (notes & coin) in banking department— 1,388,216 lumens 186,406 This return shows that we have not yet got through the crisis. The only unfavourable change, however, is the decrease of 466,0191. in the coin and bullion, following the decrease of 832,3361. , shown in t he previous return. The withdrawals are now almost wholly on continental account, and are prompted by the feeling of distrait abroad which it was the object of Lord Clarendon in his recent letter to the British ministers a b roa d , to allay. Still, with nearly twelve millions of sieete and bullion in the Bank, the idea of the converti bility of the Bank note being endangered is pre posterous. The advances on private securities are not only maintained at the extraordinary amount lately reach ed, ed, but show afresh increase of 107,1471. The BA having gained slightly, however, in de posits, the reserve of notes has increased 100,0361, the total being 830,8681. With this reserve it has of course not been necessary for the Bank directors actually to violate the act of 1844.

REMARKABLE ACCUMULATION OF GAME ET Vars.—A remarkable accumulation of game and other animals was discovered a few days ago by the shepherd of Corriemuckloch, near the top of the Sins Glen, Perthshire, in • recess of the rock, which apparently had been recently frequented by foxes. The hole or den contains upwards of 100 head of grouse, 35 mountain bares, some partridges, four lambs, a young kid, kr. The large store of game and lambs appeared perfectly fresh, and had only been late captured. The district in which the discovery was maft has for some time peat been completely overrun by foxes, and the ravages they have committed among both sheep flocks and game are beyotd calculation. The proprietors and farmers have commenced on an extensive scale to exterminate the vermin, if possible, and a large number of both old and young foxes have been killed. Ifeinon. THE CROPS IN CANADA.—Rain fell last night in Toronto, and it is hoped that there will be more of it. The country is suffering sadly for lack of moisture. So little rain fell last fall that no water was found in the soil when the frost lett it, and the spring being very dry, everything is parched. Fall wheat, extensively winter ' killed, all through Canada and the Northern States, is 1 losing its chance of partial revival during the prevalence of the drought. The spring ploughing has been well done, however, and there will be a favourable prospect for the I spring crops, if rain falls now. Mr. John A. D.:milder/1i I strongly recommends farmers who are compelled to plough I up their fall wheat to sow flax, which may be done any \ time this month.—TorontoGlobe, May 9 .
