At about half-past 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon cash box,containing 4,0001. in local bank notes, bills, and drafts was stolen from the counting-house of Messrs. G. sad W. Townend, woolstaplers, Cheapside, Bradford. The timbers of the firm were absent at dinner when the rob bery was committed, but daring their absence a clerk was present in a room adjoining that from which the cash-box was taken. It appears that neither the door of the room aor the door of the safe was locked. About 451. was in local rotes, W. in gold coin, U. 170. in silver, and the rest in drafts and bills, which cannot, of course, be negotiated without the signature of the firm or without forgery being committed. Many of the drafts are the produce of the late gent wool sale. The thief seems to have known the habits of the firm, and to have chosen a favourable mo. Lent—when the partners were at dinner—for effecting the robbery. No one was seen prior to the discovery of the robbery, and no one is suspected. In fact the robbery is completely involved in mystery at present. WILLS AND BEQUESTS. The will of Sir Charles Luck Eastlake, Kt., F.R.S., D.C.L, of 7.

ONE O'CLOCK. The transactions in stocks and shares to-day are to a fair extent, and the tone generally is rather firm, owing chiefly to the satisfactory tendency of the discount market. Consols and the chief British railways are quoted the same as yesterday,but some of the bank and financial shares exhibit a further de cided rise. Amongst the latter, Credit Foncier and Mobilier and General Credit are in especial re quest, and have advanced 16e. and 10s., respec_ tively. The foreign securities, however, are lower in a few cases, the chief reduction being in Italian bonds of 1861. The supply of money in the discount market has been further increased to-day, and good three months' bills are freely taken at 10 per cent., the ' Bank minimum. The charge for six months' Bank paper is 9i. In the Stock Exchange short loans on English government securities are obtainable at 8 to 9 per cent. Amongst the changes in the Bank of France re turn are an increase in the bills discounted of 1,427,000/., and a decrease in the coin and bullion of 224,000/. Consuls are now quoted ni to with div., for money, and 861 to g, ex div., for the account (June 6). Foreign stocks are rather dull.

The drafts of the Oriental Commercial Bank (Limited), an undertaking established in 1861 under another title, were returned yesterday unpaid. The liabilities reach about 350,0001. It is hoped, how ever, that the business will be continued, and a meeting of the largest shareholders is called for to morrow, when they will be asked to pay at once the recent alla—viz., of 31. on the 41. shares, and of 21. on the 51. shares, although they are not due till the 11th of July. The National Financial Com pany and the Financial Corporation were amal gamated some time ago with this company, and its difficulties are stated to be caused through the non payment of 87,0001. lent to the liquidators of the Financial Corporation to meet the liabilities of that concern, on the understanding that they would make a call upon the shareholders, and repay the amount to-day. The Oriental Commercial Bank has paid dividends at the rate of 15 per cent. per annum, and its transactions have been chiefly in connexion with the Levant. The drafts of the New Zealand Banking Corpo ration have also been returned. This undertaking was established in 1863, and the paid-up capital is 60,000:.

The Manchester Examiner and Times announces a meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Penny and Co., East India merchants, of Liverpool. It is mentioned that their liabilities amount to 104,0001., against assets of 20,0001., and that the liquidation will be very much affected by the winding up of the house of Macindoe, Rogers, and Co., of Bombay. A private meeting took place yesterday of some of the largest shareholders in the London Financial Association (Limited), when it was resolved to co-operate actively with the directors, with a view to meet the immediate engagements of the com pany. The immediate consequence of this under standing between the board and the shareholders has been a great rebound in the price of the shares. _ _ _ -- --- The adjourned meeting of the shareholders of the Bank of Turkey was held yesterday, when the resolutions passed at the previous meeting for winding up the bank voluntarily were confirmed, and liquidators were appointed.

The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to-day were limited ; nevertheless, the show of samples was tolerably good, sad in fair condition. Moat of the factors were firm in their demands ; but the trade was in a sluggish state, at Monday's currency. We were well suppliedwith foreignwheat, which was held at extreme rates °waist* the complicated state of foreign politica. The business done, however, was only moderate, on former terms. Floating cargoes of grain were quite as dear as last week. The supply of English barley was limited ; of foreign good. Sales progressed slowly, yet prices were sup ported. Malt, the show of which was rather extensive, changed hands to a fair extent, at full quotations.

" Argus," of the Post, writing of the Derby, says : " That Lord Lyon's victory was jeopardised by the unconquerable habit he has got of refusing to quit his horses, there is no denying, for when he had beaten Rustic ho hung so to &remake that it required all Custance's efforts, with his arm weakened by his recent accident, to get his horse's head in front. He rode, I should say, with a figure of eight bandage round his arm, which had not been a little tried by the way in which Hermit kicked and plunged with him the previous day, and he now feels the effect of the strain upon his arm so much that he will not ride again until Ascot. Bold as was his undertaking to ride Lord Lyon, it afforded him a fine opportunity for showing his good jockeyship, and it was a pleasure to witness the steadiness and patience with which be rode, and which those coming on in the same profession would do well to imitate, as well as his manners and sustoms. The settling I have no reason to think will be a bad one although Mr. George Reynolds, the commissioner of Lord Lyon, will resemble on Monday and Tuesday next a pay. master of a ship or regiment, from the number of names he will have to call over."

The advice just received from the Cape of Good Hope report the arrival on the 7th April of the screw steamer Kaikoura, belonging to the Panama, New Zealand, and Australian Royal Mail Company (Limited). The passage from Ply mouth was made in the short space of 26 days, being more than a week less than the time occu pied by the regular mail packets. The Kaikoura is 1,501 tons register and 400 horse power, and is the first of the three vessels already despatched from this country for the performance of the mail service between Panama and the Australasian colonies, which is to be commenced next month. We are requested to state that the share list of the Graphotyping Company (Limited) will be closed on Wednesday, the 23rd mat., for London, and on the following Saturday for the country. The return of the Bank of England for the week ending Wednesday, May 16, compared with that for the previous week, shows the following changes : Circulation issue £26,851,825 Decrease £442,895 Circulation active 26,120,996 Increase 3,776,600 Public deposits 5,936,219 Increase 154,392 Other deposits Government securities in banking department 10,837,056 Decrease 147,196 Other securities in banking department 30,913,259 Increaselo,o99,o42 Coin and bullion in both departments Seven day and other bills 529,822 Increase 67,557 The Rest 3,343,412 Increase 105,825 Notes in reserve Total reserve (notes & coin) in banking department... 1,202,810 Decrease 4,608,985 The increase in one week of 10,099,0421. in the advances on private securities is unprecedented in the history of the Bank, and shows how enormous has been the pressure for accommodation on the part of the panic-stricken community. inasmuch, however, as a great deal of this borrowing was merely precautionary, 5,105,1351. has been added to the private deposits, and the increase in the ac tive circulation consequently becomes 3,776,6001., and the decrease in the reserve 4,608,9351. The increase in the circulation results mainly from the desire of country bankers to secure themselves against all contingencies, and the peculiarity of the matter is that the notes withdrawn are not really thrown into circulation, but are for the most part hoarded. The total reserve is now reduced to 1,202,810/., and the re serve of notes to 730,830/., so that it is quite within the power of any one of the great joint stock banks, by withdrawing its current balance, to force the Rank of England to avail itself of the authorisation contained in the recent Treasury letter. Should this necessity arise, a cer tain amount—perhaps two millions, as in 1857—0 f government securities would be transferred front the banking to the issue department, and notes would be issued by the latter against them. Thus far it has nut been necessary to do so, and there seems to be now a fair prospect that the Bank will he able to tide over the crisis without violating the law. The 832,335/. of coin and bullion withdrawn must have been taken away chiefly by provincial, Scotch, and Irish bankers, as a measure of pre caution.

FATAL ACClDENT.—Yesterday a painful excite ment prevailed in Farringdon and its neighbourhood in consequence of the untimely death of Mr. Coleman, superintendent of the Berke constabulary for that di vision of the county. It appears that on Wednesday night Mr. Coleman drove into the country on a visit jug round, and met several of his men, but was subse , quently found lying dead in the road. The thoroughfare, it is said, was somewhat dangerous at the spot where Mr. Coleman was discovered, and there is little doubt that he was thrown from the cart, and, falling on his head. died almost immediately. The deceased, who leaves a widow and young family, was an efficient officer, and much esteemed in the above division. He entered the Berks con stabulary on its formation, and for some time was sergeant major to the force, and stationed nt the headquarters at Beading, but was afterwards appointed superintendent of the Farringdon division. He was well known throughout the force, and the intelligence of his death under the melancholy circumstances occasioned a general feeling of deep regret among all the men. 471,98• 5t9,822 I ~ m • tile.
