He had then to watch her, and had great trouble to pre. vent her strangling herself. She was before Mr. Paget last week, after she mime out of prison, and complained of neg lect and ill-usage, and the magistrate ordered an juquu7 to be made concerning her. Mr. Charles Young, the solicitor, then stated that Mr. Partridge carefully in vestigated the cue, and upon the evidence of the surgeon of the Stepney union that she was not insane, and was ca pable of doing the work assigned to her, he committed her for 21days. Mr. Knox said the unfortunate prisoner wee no doubt insane and very ill, and she must be taken care of and t es ted with the greatest humanity. The best course would be to send her to the Stepney Union at Bromley. Mr. Parker, the master of the Stepney Union at Brom ley, mid he should be most happy to attend to the Ames time of the magistrate. The case was a peculiar one. The surgeon of the Stepney Union said she was not insane, and other surgeons said she was a lunatic. Mr. Knox—lt is an absurdity to say she is not insane. You bear what the gaoler says, and you have heard the statement of the police-constable. She made an attempt to ' beagle herself. She has taken poison, and you can see the state she is in now. To the credit of the board of guardians of the Stepney Union see to her, and treat her tenderly. The prisoner—Hang me, sir. Mr. Parker would take care that every attention should be paid to the woman. loche—She is very weak, your worship. The poor woman cannot walk. Mr. Knox directed that a cab should be hired, and the woman taken at once to the Stepney Union. The poor creature was then discharged, and led out of the court. TWO SHOCKING DEATHS BY FIRE. INQIJESTS.T(THIS DAY.) Thin afternoon, Mr. W. Payne, the City coroner, held two inquests at St. Bartholomew's Hospital on the deaths of John Tinkler, aged 86 years, and James Gar dener, aged 15 poen, who lost their lives by fire. In the case of John Tinkles, Eleanor Sweet, daughter of the deceseed, said that her father was a dyer by trade. He lived at No. 6, Helmet court, Blackfriars. For some years past be had lived skim Witness knew nothing of the occurrence which awed his death. John Reid, 6, Helmet-court, said that the deceased rented a room on the third Boor of his house. On Thurs day, the sth instant, witness heard loud screams of " Fire, help, help !" preceding from the deceased's room. Hp= enter i ng he saw the deceased standing in the middle of the room. His clothes were all on fire. Witness tore the burning clothes off his back, and the police came and removed him to the hospital. The deceased said to witness—" I was seated opposite the fire and went to sleep and fell into the fireplace. The second case taken was that of James Gardener, and Falco-constable Edwin Bent 28 6, said' that at half-part 10 o'clock on Thunday morning last, he was on duty in Golden-lane, when he heard several people calling out, " A boy is on fire." He then saw the deceased standing in the middle of the pavement of Hartshorn-court. His clothes were all alight, and a woman brought a bucket of water, and threw it over the burning lad, but it only seemed to increase the flames. Witness then got a shawl and wrapped it round the de ceased's body. When the fire had been put out witness removed him to the hospital. A piece of an iron naptha lamp was hung out of deceased's ragged cost pocket when witness first saw him on fire. Elizabeth Meadows deposed that the deceased had spilt the contents of a small lamp filled with naphtha in his coat pocket while he was carrying it through the street. He ran into her house at No. 2, Hartahorn-court, and stood before the fire for the purpose of drying his oiled clothes. He caught fire at the grate, and rushed out into the street. Charles Acroft, 2, Hartshorn-court, keeper of a street stall, said that the deceased had met him in the street. He asked for employment, and witness asked him for his history before he gave him present work. He said, " I have no history ; I have no father or mother. I found myself in Bradford, and I walked up to London." Mr. Orton, surgeon, proved that both the deceased persons died on Friday last from effects of dreadful inpines by fire. - • The coroner having Rimmed up, the jury returned s verdict of " Accidental death." It appears from a parliamentary return leaned to day that, between the 26th of August and the 23rd of November last year, 5,629 cattle were slaughtered in Eng land on account of the cattle plague, either in obedience to the directions of cattle inspectors, or by direction of the owners ; 79 were so killed in Wales, and 1,704 in Scotland, making a total of 7,412. A return issued this morning shows that there are in England 121 municipal boroughs, and market and other towns possessing a population of 5,000 inhabitants and upwards, which are not now represented in parliament. Among the largest of them are Burnley, in Lancashire, which has a population of 28,700 ; Staleybridge, which has 24,921 ; Croydon, 20,325 ; Gravesend, 18,722 ; St. Helen's, Lancashire, 18,396 ; Middlesborough, 18,992 ; Leamington, 17,958 ; &c. Then there are 14 metropolitan parishes, or parts of parishes, containing a population of upwards of 5,000, which are not within any represented borough ; they are as follows :—Chelsea, 63,439 ; Fulham, 15,539 ; Hammersmith, 24,519 ; Hampstead, 19,106 ; Kensington, 70,108 ; Battersea, 19,600 ; Clapham, 20,894; part of Lambeth, 19,146; Putney, 6,481 ; Streatham, 8,027 ; Wandsworth, 13,346 ; Leigh, 6,162 ; Lewisham, 22,808 ; and part of Plurustead, 19,219. The weekly meetings of the members of the Royal Institution were resumed after the Easter recess on Friday evening, when a lecture was delivered by Professor Du Bois Raymond, " On the Time required for the Trans minion of Volition and Sensation through the Nerves." M. Gustave Dord has finished thirty sketches is illustration of Tennyson's " Idylls of the King," which are to be engraved in London. On Thursday Fagot is to be performed at Covent Carden for the first appearance this season of Mdlle. Pau line Lucca. At the next concert of the Sacred Harmonic Society the programme is to include Rossini's Stabat Mater and Mendelssohn's Athal ink. Mr. Fechter will shortly produce the C,rsican Brothers at the Lyceum, with new effects and mounting, and will also shortly revive Hamlet. This day week, the 23rd inst., is the anniversary of Shakespeare's birthday. The banquet which, under the will of the late Mr. T. P. Cooke, is provided at the Dramatic College at Maybury, "at which the master, wardens, and members of the council shall preside, and to which the whole of the pensioners and any supporters and patrons of the drama and well-wishers of the college shall be invited," will have Mr. Webster for its president and Mr. Creswick for its vice-president. Special dinners in honour of the occasion will also be held at various social and literary clubs. The annual dinner of the Licensed Victuallers' Asylum is appointed for the 9th of next month. Benjamin Lee Guinness, Esq., M.P. for Dublin, has agreed to pre- Nide. The troops brought to England in the sailing ships Tyburnia, Malabar, Albert Victor, and Cornwallis, will all disembark from those ships at Portsmouth this morning, and the four vessels will immediately afterwards leave Portsmouth for the Thames. Never since the time of the Crimean campaign until Saturday have eight pri vate ships been seen lying at Portsmouth at one time freighted with troops returning home from foreign service. There is a very large number of " time-expired " men among them. It ia estimated that four-fifths of these men will re-enlist in the army within three or four weeks of their return home, the majority of them with the hope of soon finding themselves again en route for India. THE LATE DUKE OF NORTHUMBERLAND'S HALF- P tr.—For many years before his decease the late Duke of Northumberland had refrained from drawing his half-pay to which he was entitled by his rank as admiral in the navy. His executors, Earl Groevenor, M.P., and Lonl Redesdale, hav e , h owever , applied for, and received from the Admiralty, about 7,400 i. Wi der this head. The present duke, considering, with much generosity of feeling, that this sum could not legitimately be reckoned amongst the six or seven mil lions of property which he had inherited from his cousin, the late duke, has decided upon appropriating it for the benefit of various naval charities. The Royal Naval Bene volent will receive about 5,200/., the Dreadnought Sea man's Hospital will have 2,0001., and the National Lifeboat Association the remainder. It would have been difficult to ' , elect more deserving charities, but the disproportion is rather startling. The merchant seamen for whom the " Dread nought" is intended deserve well of their country, and eoasidering that the Royal Naval Benevolent Fund is already a wealthy charity it might have been thought that the two would have shared equally. The sum to be handed Over to the National Lifeboat Institution is, however, even still more out of proportion, especially when it is considered that the lifeboats which have been Placed On the Northumberland coast have cost that society about 5, while the benefactions of the duke to the funds of th at ooo( institution during his long life were limited bungl e donation of a hundred guineas. The only ground of consolation is that the public is the best patron, and that in spite of the small donations of many of t he landed proprietors from whom much might be e the smaller subscriptions of a vast number of people e epabled the Institution to do a great amount d good.— Northers' Daily Express.

The committee appointed to try the merits of the re turn for Cambridge met to-day at 11 o'clock, Mr. Lowe in the chair. Mao present Lord Henley, Mr. Coleridge, Sir James Ferguson, and Mr. Gabriel Golding. Mr. Vernon Harcourt, Q.C., Mr. Fitziames Stephen, and Mr. C. Leigh appeared for the petitioner. 8 Mr. Hope Soott, Q.C., Mr. Mellish, Q.C., and Mr. Cooke, Q.C., contra. Mr. Fitziames Stephen proposed to go into a scrutiny, with a view to show that, Mr. Forsyth having been disclosed not duly elected, Colonel Torreon was duly L. elected, and ought to be so declared by the committee. The Chairman-1s the fact of service of notice of Mr. 11 Forsyth's disqualification on electors voting for him admitted ? Mr. Fitzjames Stephen—lt is. The notice was given to lis • sufficient number of electors to turn the scale, if the committee should be of opinion that in point of law the notice was sufficient, and that the votes were thrown away. There would then remain the former question is whether Colonel Torrent; was himself disqualified from being elected or sitting as a member of parliament. Mr. Coleridge—l understand there is an admission that the notice was given to a sufficient number of electors to turn the scale. The only question before us at present is as to the sufficiency of the notice. Mr. Cooke, Q.C., submitted that the objection to the qualification of Colonel Torre= should be first proceeded with. If the committee decided that the petitioner was dis- 14 qualified there would be no need to go into a scrutiny. After a short consultation, The committee decided that they would first consider the question as to the insufficiency of the notice. Mr. Fitjames Stephen said he would leave the ques tion in the case of the vote given by Owen John Jones, an elector, for Mr. Forsyth after he had Iy, received notice from John Eaton, an elector, that Mr. Forsyth was then holding an office under the crown, , owing to which, under the act 6 Queen Anne, c. 7, he was ineligible as a candidate and disqualified to sit in parlia ment. Counsel was heard at some length on the legal -, question as to the suf fi ciency of the notice, and concluded t! by moving that the vote should be struck off. Mr. Cooke contended that the rijiht of election should not be limited by a notice which involved a matter nut only of fact but of law. He admitted that if a can didate were notoriously disqualified votes given for him would be thrown away, but in thepresent case the electors who received the notice were also informed on behalf of Mr. Forsyth that he wee not disqualified, and the electors had every reason to believe that he was not, his prede cessor in office having sat in parliament. Mr. Vernon Harcourt replied. The room was ordered to be cleared. On the admission of the public, The chairman said the committee had decided that the vote of Owen John Jones should be retained. - - Mr. Fitzjaness Stephen—There is no oc.csaion after that decision to go further as the other objections are identical ~ The C man—The molt of the inquiry is that the election is declared void. The proeealingi then terminated. NOTrINGHAM, The committee appointed by the Howe of Com mons to inquire into the merits of the petitions against the return for Nottingham, reassembled this morning ; Hr. H. K Adair in the chair. _ The counsel were :—For the petition against Sir R. Clifton—Mr. Mundell and Mr. Cave ; for Sir R. Clifton— Mr. Rodwell, Q.C., and Mr. Price, Q.C. ; for the petition against Mr. Morley—Mr. O'Malley, Q.C., Mr. Cooke, Q.C., and Mr. Russell ; for Mr. Morley—Mr. Herding Gifford, Q.C., Mr. Fitzjames Stephen, Mr. Mundell, and Mr. Cave. Mr. Cave said an intimation had been thrown out by the committee on Saturday, that they intended to proceed next with the petition against Mr. Morley. He thought that would be an inconvenient course, and he therefore applied to the committee to dispose of the petition against Sir R. Clifton before that against Mr. Morley was pro ceeded with. He stated that if the committee decided upon going into the case against Mr. Morley first, Mr. Paget would be put to the inconvenience and ex peruse of attending and watching a case in which he was personally uninterested. He cited various cases to show that the ordinary practice of election committees had been to dispose of one case before entering into another, where allegations against different members for the same borough were treated as separate petitions. Mr. Rodwell said it was a matter of indifference to him what course the committee took so long as they came to a decision either seating or unseating Sir R. Clifton on the question of bribery, intimidation, and undue influence, before proceeding with a scrutiny. He apprehended that it was absolutely necessary to give such decision before entering upon a scrutiny, and whether it was given now or after the case against Mr. Morley was heard was not very material. Mr. Cave briefly replied, The committee retired, and on their return, The Chairman said the committee had decided upon withholding their decision upon the petition against Sir R. Clifton, and now celled upon the counsel for the peti tion against Mr. Morley to open his case. Mr. O'Malley, Q.C., then addressed the committee on behalf of the petitioners. He said he appeared for Mr. Marten, the defeated conservative candidate. The Chairman remarked that Mr. Marten was not one of the petitioners. Mr. O'Malley said he did not know who the petitioners were, but at any rate he was right in saying that he ap neared as counsel for the petition against Mr. Morley. In order to avoid an unnecessary waste of time, an ar rangement had been come to that the evidence, as far as it went in the recriminatory case against Mr. Paget, should be considered as evidence in the case against Mr. Morley. His learned friends, however, would have the right of calling for the production of any of the witnesses who had alre my been examined, and several of them would be recalled in order to establish new cases. The Chairman —Your petition, I believe, alleges treat ing, which that against Sir R. Clifton did not. Mr. O'Malley said he did not propose to go into the question of treating further than it related to the treating of voters who were employed as paid canvassers. Indeed he might state that the main ground upon which he relied for unseating Mr. Morley was that a large portion of the constituency were bribed to vote for him by the colourable employment of paid canvassers. Having cited various cases in which the question had already been dealt with by election com mittees, the learned counsel proceeded to state that the number of names on the register was 6,706, but leaving out duplicates the total available number was 5,536. and by the evidence it would be shown that about 3/. a head was paid by Messrs. Paget and Morley for their can vasser,. Mr. Lefevre asked if that was for canvassing only. Mr. O'Malley said it was, and it would be proved that the lowest sum paid was 305., and the highest 4/. 10s. Altogether 2,0001. was paid by the two candidates for can vassers; and, at 3f. a head, it would appear that about 666 which, in biblical lore, was the number of the beast, were employed. Mr. Lefevre thought it had not been proved that the whole of the sum mentioned by the learned counsel had been paid for canvassing. Mr. O'Malley said that 999/. was put down in the ac counts of each candidate for canvassers, and Mr. Paget bad himself admitted that he did not consider that en unreasonable sum. The result of an analysis of the votes showed that making allowance for voters who would not require canvassing at all, there was one canvasser paid for every two electors who polled for Paget and Morley. He believed he should be able to prove that the sick, the old, and infirm were employed as canvassers, and that decrepid old men were taken from the hospital to the committee rooni,there engaged, and then sent back to the hospital from which they never stirred until they went up to the poll. [Left sitting.] The petition of the Civil Service of the Crown employed in the revenue departments against the eon- Unclean:a of the law ander which they are disfranchised has been numerously and influentially signed, and will be presented thin week by Mr. Charles Buxton.

Chontales old shares have declined to 1# to 1# prem., upon the announcement of a call of 10s. per share. Mineral Rights are steady at # to prem. •, and Frontino and Bolivia, at 1-16 to 3-16 prem. A call of ls. is to be paid on the shares of the Anglo-Brazilian Gold Company (Limited) by the 18th of May. At a grand dinner given at Vefour's by the homoeopathic doctors of Paris, it was announced that • universal congress of all the followers of Hahnemann will take place in 11367, and that all works bearing on his sys tem of therapeutics will be exhibited at the Grande Expo sition of the Champ de Mars. Count Arose left Paris for Florence on Friday after having had several interviews with the Emperor and the Minister of Foreign Affairs. BURNT TO DEATH. —A destructive fire, accom panied with loss of life, occurred on Friday morning on the premises of Mr. Jenkins, tailor and outfitter, of West street, Bristol. From the statement of Mr. Jenkins it appears that he got up as usual about 6 o'clock, and, having lighted a fire in the kitchen, he laid the coals in the fire-grate of the front shop. Finding that some coals left in this grate on the previous night were still burning, he threw some water over the whole, and then went out for • walk. The other occupants of the house were Mr. Jen kins's wife, son, and daughter, and an aunt of Mrs. Jen kins, named Mary Coombe, 63 years of age. The three women were in bed in their respective rooms when Mr. Jenkins left the house at half-past 6, but his son had got up and was at work. About 7 o'clock some of the neighbours saw smoke issuing from the shop and an alarm was at once given. Mr. Jenkins, jun., ran downstairs, and was able to escape ; but be immediately attempted to return to rescue his mother, sister, and aunt. The smoke, however, was so intense that it was impossible for him to get back. Mrs. Jenkins's bed room, for.unately opened to a rird, and a ladder having been procured she was got out in safety. Miss Jenkins, who is about 22 years of age, threw herself from the window of her room on the second floor, and fell heavily on the pavement beneath, sustaining very severe injuries. The old woman, Miss Coombe, slept in a back attic, and all the efforts made to save her life proved in vain. After raging for two hours the fire was subdued, and then the charred rem ins of the deceased were discovered. The body was in a crouching position in the corner of the room. with the hands extended. DEsenucrive FIRE.—We regret to have to state that the modelling rooms of Baron Marochetti, the emi nent sculptor, situate in the Fulham-road, were almost wholly destroyed by fire on Saturday evening. It is ua. derstood that the workmen were then engaged in casting part of one of the colossal lions in bronze, intended to ornament the base of the Nelson column in Trafalgar square, when a part of the building caught fire from the overheating or from sparks from a furnace flue, and before the fire could be extinguished the roofs of the modelling rooms were in great part destroyed, and the movable pro perty within the building seriously damaged by water and fire together. SAD CASE of HYDROPHOBIA.—Another distressing case of hydrophobia is reported. The deceased was named Elizabeth Ellen Kayley, 12 years of age, the daughter of a printer living in Pete-street, Piercy-street. Hulme, and about a month ago was a servant with Mrs. Pool, of Stretford-road. There was in the house a Scotch terrier of which she was very fond, and one day it disa peared, but returned again in a day or two afterwards. began fondling the dog, when it snapped at her and bit her thumb. She was taken to the doctor's immediately, and the wound was cauterised. Mrs. Pool stated at the inquest, held by Mr. Herford, that she noticed the dug looking " strange " on the 24th of March ; the animal had taken a piece out of the carpet with his teeth, and she suspected the dog was mad, having heard of so many cases of hydrophobia. She went to two druggists to have it poisoned, but they refused to do it. The deceased never complained till Tuesday, when she felt a pain in the shoulder, and she went home, afterwards going to the doctor. The following morning she drank a cup of tea with great difficulty, the pain in her throat being so intense, and afterwards she - refused water. The deceased, when interrogated by her . mother, said she did not think the wound was so bad, and never thought anything about it ; she had not much pain, but it bled agood deal. About a week before the bite was given the dog had been run over. The deceased died in fearful agony, on Thursday afternoon, and early in the morning she was like some one wild. The doctor who attended her gave her chlorodyne to give her ease. She seemed, said one of the witnesses, to get weaker after each dose of medicine, and she rambled very much. The jury returned a verdict of " death from hydrophobia, caused by the bite of a dog." MURDEROUS ASSAULT UPON A POLICE-OFFICER AT Yom—Between 10 and 11 o'clock, on Saturday evening, a cowardly assault was committed upon • police officer at York. Police-constable Charles Markham, with other two officers, named Brooks and Varley, were on duty in Water-lane, one of the lowest parts of the city, when they noticed three men—one named John Hughes, the other Thomas Hanson, and the third, so far as his name is concerned, unknown. These men flowed the officers down the lane, and one of them, Hughes (a watchman) who was in a state of drunkenness, began to behave disorderly ; the other men were sober. Brooks, one of the constables, remonstrated with him, and ordered him home. Ho taunted the officers by retiring a few yards and renewing the disturbance. Mark ham then went up, and told him if he did not desist he would take him into custody. The man then took off his smock and threatened to assault the officer, and the latter tried to apprehend him. Hughes, however, ran on - board his keel on the river and dared the officer to follow _ him. In the meantime Hanson had been up Water-lane and brought back a vessel's wooden pump handle. With this he rushed at Markham, and dealt him a blow over the head, knocking his hat off. Markham turned his head round to see where the blow came from, when he received another blow over the left temple, inflicting • deep and serious injury, with the murderous weapon in Hanson's bands. The officer cried, "Oh !" and then fell to the ground in sensible, and in this state he has continued up to yesterday evening, great doubt. being entertained of his recovery. The three men are in custody. THE ROYAL CHARTER.—During the late spring tides 140 sovereigns were extracted from the wreck, and it is credibly reported that as the divers are enabled to get at the part of the vessel still under the sand thousands of Marare yet to be recovered. The sovereigns are as mit they had been newly coined. MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.) Own o'CLocE. The English funds are dull to-day, upon a large sale of New Three per Cents., but the present quo- tations are not worse than those last current on Saturday. In the railway market, the principal Feature is an advance in South Eastern and Lon- don, Chatham, and Dover stocks, owing to the announcement of a proposed fusion of the interests of the two undertakings. The variations in foreign bonds and financial shares are not important, but those of Overend, Gurney, and Co. have fallen nearly It. Alliance Bank have also experienced a fresh reduction of 15s. upon rumours of embarrass ments in the cotton trade at Liverpool. The rate for the best paper in the discount market remains at 5i to 6 per cent., but the transactions are not very numerous. Short ad vances in the Stock Exchange on English govern ment securities are obtainable at 4 to 41 per cent. Consols are now quoted 86 to f for money, and 86} to f for the account (May 9). The foreign stock market is inactive, but there is a slight demand for Brazilian scrip and Mexican, which have advanced 1 to 1 per cent. On the other hand, Spanish Passive and Certificates have declined The prices are as follows : Greek, In to ; Mexican, 19i to 201 ; Spanish Passive, 2N to , ditto Certificates, 151 to ; Turkish, 1862, 62 to 63 ; ditto, 1865, 331 to ; Brazilian scrip, 3 to 2} del., ex div. ; and Italian, 1861, 53} to 547. United States 5-20 bonds, and Erie Railway shares are steady at 68/ to 1 and 527 to 53, re spectively, but Illinois Central have declined 7 per cent., viz., to 79 to If. International Financial shares are now quoted Ito dis. ; General Credit, 1 dis. to 1 prem. ; London Financial, sto 47 dis.; Imperial Mercan tile, 3 to 21 dia. ; Credit Foncier and Mobilier, 11 to 1 prem. ; Overend, Gurney, and Company, 11 to 17 die. ; and National Discount, 121 to 131 prem. A further sum of 120,0001. in bar gold was with , drawn from the Bank on Saturday for the Con tinent. On the other hand, 20,000 sovereigns from Lisbon were sent in. The Norfolk has arrived from Port Phillip with 75,5001. in gold. The Australasian, from New York, has brought only about 2,0001. A large amount of Mexican dollars was sold on Saturday for shipment to China at ss. Oid. per ounce. It appears that the surplus of revenue over ex penditure of the United Kingdom for the year 1865 having been 2,680,2131., the exact sum to be applied under the provisions of the act towards the reduction of the national debt between the 6th inst. and the 30th June next is 672,0531. ss. Bd., being one fourth id that surplus. The Secretary of State for India in Council has directed the republication of a notification issued by the Governor-General of India in Council on the 18th November, 1864, and giving the holders of the Four per Cent. Sicca Rupee Loans the option of converting them into four per cent. securities of a loan in the government rupee, at the intrinsic rate of Ba. 106.10.8 current government rupees for every 100 vices rupees. We are informed on good authority that the directors delegated by the boards of the South Eastern, and London, Chatham and Dover Rail way Companies have determined , to recommend an arrangement for a fusion of the interests of the two companies. This arrangement cannot fail to be beneficial to the shareholders. The City of Milan Improvements Company have received advices from Milan to the following satis factory effect :—" His Majesty King Victor Em manuel arrived in the city on the evening of the 3rd inst., and, accompanied by his suite, drove through the Gallery on his way to the Palace. On the next morning the King visited the works, in which he appears greatly interested, and promised that he would return in October to open the Gallery. During his stay at Milan he repeatedly spoke about the works, and on leaving told the syndic that Milan was a city of miracles, and that he would never have believed that so much could have been d o ne in so short a time. His Majesty also gave orders that 1,000 lire should be distn buted among the workmen employed on Cie Gallery. Private advices state that the King's ad miration of the energy with which these works have been carried on is shared by the local authorities and by visitors to Milan. " There appears," says a correspondent, " every prospect, allowing for the eventuality of war, that by the end of the year Milan will be able to boast of the finest Gallery in the world." The directors of the Commercial Bank Corpora tion of India and the East, in anticipation of the general meeting convened for the 25th inst., have issued a singularly unfavourable report, which shows how completely this establishment has been in the hands of unworthy or neglectful agents abroad. The result has been heavy losses at various points of the bank's operations. From the following profit and loss account it appears that the reserve fund of 169,3011. has been entirely swept away, and that, moreover, the bank starts afresh with a balance of 65,757/. on the wrong side of the profit and loss account. To written off for estimated loss on past due sterling bills, 1Z3,000/4 to written off for lasses incurred at the various branches and agencies, '252,000/.; total, 375,000/.

The half-yearly meeting of the Great Indian Peninsula Railway Company is called for the 4th of May, and the annual meeting of the Great Southern of India Railway Company for the 30th inst. The receipts of the Great Western Railway of Canada for the week ending the 30th ult. were 13,1751., being 2,437/ more than in the corres ponding week of last year. Those of the Grand Trunk Railway, for the week ending the 24th ult., were 25,5051. sterling, being 8051. leas than last year. The Union Bank of Australia have announced the interest due the let prox. on the City of Mel bourne Loan. With reference to the Argentine Six per Cent. Loan, Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. have issued the following notification : Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. beg to remind the holders of scrip receipts of the first issue of the Argentine Loan, that the option to take an equal amount of the second issue at the subscription price of 75 per cent. ex pires on the 17th instant. Holders of scrip receipts may avail themselves of this option by paying, on or before the 17th inst., the instalments then due, amounting to 45 per oent. The remaining instalments of 10 per cent., due on 29th May, and 20 per cent., due on 10th July, may be paid at the respective dates, or may be paid up on the 17th instant, under discount at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum. The Argentine Bonds will be ready for delivery on the lit May, against the full paid scrip receipts.

Only a moderate supply of English wheat was received fresh up to our market to-day, oosutwise and by land ear- s riage, whilst the quality of the samples was only middlini. Selected parcels were in good request, at an advance in tba quotations of ls. per qr. All other kinds moved off slowly at late rates. _ _ _ _ The show of foreign wheat was moderately good. Oft the whole the trade ruled steady, at prices quite equal to Monday last. We were scantily supplied with English barley ; but the supply of foreign was extensive. The demand for all kinds was in a sluggish state, at late rates. Malt—the supply of which was extensive—was in fair request, at full prices. We were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied with oats, in which a steady business was tranrcted, at full quotations. Bean% commanded more attention, at quite last week's currency. rfiero was a fair demand for peas, at extreme rates. Both English and foreign flour sold steadily, on former terms. _ _ _ The inquiry for floating cargoes of wheat has been heavy. but, the supply off coast being small, importers have been firm in their demands, and an advance, varying from is. to Is. 6d. per qr. has taken place in the quotations.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. (THIS DAY.) The supply of beasts u rather larger, owing to a miss*. Con of the orders as to bringing them into market. Tim Order in Council which comes into operation this day, prevents their being taken beyond a very limited district, which order applies also to sheep ; the effect of this is, not withstanding there is a demand for every head of stock tat offer,that a large number remain unsold. prices are lower for both beasts and sheep, but the trade is very uneven, owing to its unsettled state. There are a few snore calves, and they are not quite so dear. From France and other coun tries we have 1,856 beasts, 8,910 sheep, 53 caves, and 250 pigs ; Spain,lo4 beasts ; Scotland, 303 beats ; and 727 front Norfolk and Suffolk. Per stone of 811 a a. d. a. d.
