Hank of England notes, the property of Andrew Benjamin Cirdier, in his dwelling•house. Kr. Cook prononted. The prisoner,wi o was unrepresented . by counsel, pleaded not guilty, and was much agitated during the proceedings. Mm. Catherine Cartier said she lived at No. 10, Clarges street, and the prisoner lodged in the house, and was lady's maid to a person who lived three. On the 3rd of June the prisoner came to her and complained of being very ill. and witness gave her some brandy which she took out of a cupboard. vibe opened the cupboard in the pet. ;Doer's presence, and she saw her place her purse contain ing the money on a shelf in that cupboard. On the fol lowing by the notes—the numbers of which she had pro cured—were missed, and suspicion fell upon the prisoner. Witness charged her with the robbery, when sbe stated she had changed one of the notes, but bad it in her posses sion some three months. In cress-examination by the prisoner the witness said she had never known any charge of dishonesty against the pri soner before this. She knew she had been in the service of Lady Erskine for several years, and bad borne an un blemished character. G4wley, 141 1), apprehended the prisoner. She said she knew nothing of the property. Mr. Watson. a draper, living at No. 10, Cranbourne street, proved that on the Tu es day morning—theday after the notes were stolen—the prisoner came to him and bought goods, and gave a note oproduced) in payment. Mr. Richard Dmire, a ca..diier in the City Bank, identified the note as one of a number paid to the proseeutrix. Mr. Payne—This is a senors case against you; what have you to say in answer to it Prisoner—l picked up the two notes in the street. Mr. Payne—l sun sure there is no one in court will be lieve that. Prisoner—l can Amore yon—oh, my Cod, l am i nnocen t . The jury found the prisoner Gail y. Mr. Payne—Do von feel disposed to give any account of the otherfnotes. ft may make a difference in the sentence I may pass upon you. I don't say it will, but it may. The prisoner again and again denied that she had ever seen the other missing notes. She only found two, and they were in an envelope. Mrs. Castle, said the prisoner had borne a very good cha racter. She be!ieveil she wax married. Mr. Hodgkimon the clerk of the court, told the prisoner she stood c onv i c t e d of felony, and asked !serif she had any thing to say why pdgment should not be given. The prisoner (in an excited manner)-oh, have mercy, my lord. lam innocent. Mr. Payne--I am afraid yea are a very bad women, and had you chosen to give any account of the other money I should, in consequence of your good character, have Fused a light sentence. For the sake of honest people foa must have a heavy punishment. The prisoner —Oh, my lord, I am not guilty ; do have mercy. Mr. Payne--The sentence of the court upon you is that Pal he imprisoned and kept to hard Labour for 18 months.

The prisoner cross-examined Posner, who denied that he had received 201. of him to tale care of. The prisoner insisted that he had deposited M. with Pother, which the Jew stoutly denied. . . Mr. Alfred Knight, watchmaker and jeweller, of No. R 3, high-street, Whitechapel, sold a lever w►tch, with chain. locket, and ring to the prisoner on the 12th of June, for which the prisoner tendered in payment three 51. notes, and after deducting 12!. Os. 6d., the prioe of tts goods, re turned 21. 11s. The prisoner endorsed the notes, "Cameron Conlon," and mud he came from Yorkshire, and won 2001. at Epsom on the Derby day. In answer to Mr. Paget, Posner and Knight said the prisoner was in his soldier's uniform when he came to their shops and made purchases. George Clarke, police-sergeant, of the detective polio°, Scotland-yard, said he arrested the prisoner on Monday morning last in the Tower, and on making him acqainted with the charge, he said, " I did not steal the notes, but lam guilty of passing them. I found one 501. note, six Si. notes, two nogg, and a cigar case, under a stone near the Tower ditch." He found 10a. lid, on the prisoner. Ho ascertained that the slay after Captain Legh missed his notes and rings the prisoner invested 301. in a savings' bank. _ _ Mr. Paget—Two 501. notes, which have been identified, were paid into the Bank of England on the same day one was paid to Posner. Where was the other passed by the prisoner Clarke—The second 501. note was endorsed " Webb." I have my suspicions where it was passed. The whole of the evidence having been read by Mr. Nairn, the second clerk, the prisoner was called upon for his defence, and after receiving the usual caution said—No defence. Not till my trial. Mr. Paget committed the prisoner to Newgato for trial and said—lt's an unfortunate piece of carelessness for a gentleman to put 1451. and two gold rings in a drawer that was unlocked, and in • room the door of which was unfastened. I cannot too strongly reprobate the system which enabled • private soldier in uniform to obtain change far a 501. note and three 51. notes, all stolen, at an outfitter's shop, without any inquiries being made. It is perfectly monstrous. THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) BCIW4STREET. THI ORIGIN Or A FIRE. Joseph Chaff, 13, and Jahn Donavan, 9, were brought up before Sir Thomas Henry, charged with being found in the dwelling house of Thomas Chapman, leather seller, of Bedfordbury, without lawful excuse. . . . . . Thomas C . — bemoan said that about half-past 11 o'clock last night (Wednesday) he was in his own room on the first fluor, and heard voices in • carpenter's shop below. (The ground-door is divided into two shops, in one of which witness carries on his own business, and the other is let to a carpenter.) He went down, and found the place full of smoke, and • strong smell of fire. He went back, and armed himself a poker. He then entered the shop, and found the younger prisoner under the shop and • quan tity of shavings all ablaze and the flooring and loose wood much charred. to • few minutes more the whole premises would have been on fire. He did not see the elder prisoner. The younger prisoner said "Joey Chaff got a key from his mother's that would open the shop. He wanted to get a bit of wood to make a blacking-box, and told him (Donovan) to watch at the door and let him know if • policeman came. When Chaff heard some one coming he run away, leaving him (Donovan) in the shop. He gave the address of Chad in Shelton's-court. Witness then sent for a fireman and the fire was put out. Witness then gave Donovan into custody. Police-constable Jameson, tU F, said he was called in to take Donovan into custody. Afterwards went to the lodging, of Chaff's mother. He found the door locked, and could not get in. Some time later he met the mother in the street, and she said the boy had been in bed for hours. He went back with her and made the pi:goner get m . lie pretended to be sound asleep, and to wake up with difficulty, making greet show of drowsiness, and when informed of the charge feigning the utmost astonishment. Donovan repeated the statement he had made to Chap man, but Chaff denied that lie had so much as set foot in the place. He admitted, however, that he was with Donovan about quarter of an hour previously. Neither of the prisoners offered any explanation of the origin of the fire. Sir Thomas Henry thought it most likely that the pri soners bad accidentally fired the shavinp in striking a light to look round the place. At all events he should give them the benefit of the doubt, and not treat the case as one of arson. He should remand them both on the charge of burglary, with a view to their removal to a re formatory. CLERKENWELL CLEVER CAPTURE OF A THIEF BT A LADY. Robert Walton Murdock, aged 2.3, wbo desoribed himself as a shoemaker, having no home, was charged with steal ing three pairs of boots, the property of lb. George Bel fart, of the value of 21:6e.Gi1. _ _ _ Mr. George &Wart, * of 177, Upper-street, Islington, a bootinaker, raid he sent his errand boy with three pairs of boots to take to a lady's house in Canonbury. He did not know the prisoner, though he had seen him waiting about his shop for two hours. He did not send the prisoner to the lady's house for the boots. Mrs. Emma Iliddlecombe said she was now staying at a friend's house in Canonbury-lane. She went to the prose cutor's shop and ordered three pairs of boots to be sent to the house she was staying at. The boy de livered them, and about ten minutes afterwards the pri soner came and said he was Mr. Ballart's brother, and that be was sent to fetch back the boots. She said to him, " How do I know you have come from him? You must go back and tell him that I will not let you have the boots." He went away and returned in about a quarter of an hour, saying that the wrong boots had been sent, and that some ladies were in the shop waiting to try them on, and he would feel much obliged if abe would at once Five them to him to take back. She gave the hoots to him, and after he had left the house she followed him. As he did not go towards the prosecutor's shop, she mentioned the facts to a con stable, and he took the prisoner into custody. Police-constable William Faulkner, 332 N, said he took the prisoner into custody, and he then had the boots in his possession. When told the charge, the prisoner made no remark. Police-sergeant Goss, 14 N, said if a remand was granted he would be able to bring other cases of a similar kind against the prisoner. . . . — The prisoner, who made no defence, was remanded until Wednesday next. MARLBOROUGH•STREET. EZTRAORDINARY CHARGE (IF WANTON DAYAGE. John awe, described as a jewel-case maker, O( No. 9, George-street, Langham-street, and AIt:AIWA Clare, his wife, were charged before Mr. Knox with wantonly da maging some panes of glass, the property of Mr. George Lines, printer, of No. 2, Middleton.buildings, and also some panes of glass at other houses in the some plea,. Mr. Lines stated that several panes of glass in his win dows bad been cut during the past two or three nights, and some of the windows in other houses neer him. Mr. Charles Sheppard, of No. 11, Middleton-buildings, said that in conmaquence of several windows in the place being cut lately he sat up last night to watch, with the view of detecting the person doing it. He saw the male prisoner, who was accompanied by his wife, first cut the window of the previous witness's house, then the window of the next house, and just as be was going to cut the window of the third house he caught bold of him and told him that he would have him locked up, upon which he ran away. He went after the prisoner and brought him back, and gave him and his wife into custody. The female prisoner took a ring from her husband, and had an opportunity of getting rid of it. The male prisoner offered bun any com pensation if he would not press the charge, and also to put in new windows. The male prisoner said there was only one window cut, but the witness stated that beraw the prisoner deliberately cu• three. The male prisoner mid that when he was caught hold of by the last witness, and while struggling with him, be had his gold watch nipped off the chain. Mr. Knox said it served the prisoner right, and he would like to know what business the prisoner had to destroy persona 'property as he bad dune. The witness said that on Monday night four windows were cut, some of the glass nearly through, no doubt by a diamond ring the male prisoner was wearing, and last night be distinctly saw the prisoner do it, The male prisoner said he was very sorry and was willing to make compensation. It was a foolhardy act he would admit. Mr. Knox said the female prisoner did not appear to have taken an active part in the matter, and as there was not enough to convict her, she would be discharged. lioe-constahle Holder, 161 E, proved taking the pri soner into custody. Nothing was found on the male pri soner with which a window could be cut. Mr. Knox said no doubt that was got rid of. He would not ruin the prisoner by sending him to prison without the optinn of paying a fine. He should order him to pay 3s. for the damage, and a fine of 51., or go to prison a month.

Mrs. Hannah Evans, of 44, Kempton-street, in the vicinity of thiscourt, stated.—Yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock, I found the prisoner, who with his wife and three children lodge with me, hanging by a sash line to a rail of the banisters. I cut the rope and when he reoovered, thought from his dejected manner it was my duty to give him into custody. . . . . Carter,l Tt o—l was sent for by the last witness; prisoner said he could not get work ; he was sitting on the stairs, and appeared in • most deplorable condition. A City missionary here stepped forward and assured the magistrate that he had known the family a considerable time, awl could testify as to the deserving and commend able habits of both husband and wife : there was not the slightest doubt that this Isiah act had been induced b privation, but be (the missionary) felt assured it would not be repeated, and he earnestly entreated that the pri 'Quer, on expressing his contrition, should be permitted to leave the court with his wife. This was denial, and from the description given by the wife, an attenuated, wrr.tchedly, but cleanly-clad woman, the hand of poverty b el laid heavily on the family. The prisoner observed—For two months have I been out of work —seek where I might, high and low, round and round, I could not get it. No bread for my wife and children. I could not see it—it drove me to desperation. Magistrate—But there was at least • probability of your children being benefited by your living—not any by your death. The miserable man was remanded, as is usual in such cases, that be might receive spiritual consolation and ad vice from the chaplain at the House of Detention. Ten shillings was handed to hie wife.

It was an ebb tide, and the governess was carried out • short distance beyond her depth. Dyer, the man in attendance, hearing • cry of alarm, went to her assistance, but wee only able to keep her head abov e wa t er . M r . Barton seeing that two lives were in danger, swam out to them and nearly lent his own life, for Dyer seised him by the back of the waistcoat, and partly dragged him under the water. Recovering himself, however, he struck out for the shore, but being encumbered with his clothes, and having to drag two persons against an ebb tide, he could not get ahead, and all three were in imminent peril. In affright Mr. Barton said, " Dyer, we shall be drowned." Dyer called out to the female attendants to let down a mainline, which was dons after some delay, and being within • few feet of the struggler., Mr. Bsrton put on a spurt, and succeeded in making headway towards the shore, and grasping the awning of the machine, the bottom was found only just in time, as all three were very much exhausted and in a fainting condition. Mr. Barton has been the means of saving at different times five persons from drowning. California hens beat the world.

What took place a year ago was unpre cedented in the commercial history of this country, and that company suffered from the p revailing depression. Undue discredit w as thrown upon joint stock enterprise. There were joint stock companies of different kinds ; but he had a strong conviction that joint enterprise was the proper mode re , conducting many undertakings provided they were under the management of proper persons. The company had, like all others, been @abject to attacks arising from the feelings produced by losses ; but, gentlemen who made attacks ought to take pains to ascertain the facts of the case. The foundation of that company's bw-iness was real property, and not such an evanescent thing as the goodwill of a business. Its basis was valuable landed estate, producing valuable crops in the West Indies, and not liable to be affected as other things were. He would not have been a party to the esta blishment of the company if that had not been the basis on which it started. That company had been subject to special dinadvantazes in consequence of the extraordimuy depression of the sugar market, caused by the extraordinary production of sugar all over the world. The price of sugar was lower last year than it bad almost ever been known to be previously. In the eight previous years, including 18411, the average price of clayed Manilla sugar, which wear sort of standard of value in the trade, was xis, 3d. per cwt. in bond, and the average price of unclayed Manilla sugar during the same period was 21s. The price of clayed Manilla sugar in 1866, was 19s. 2d., being a diCer ence of no less than4s. to the disadvantage of the oompany as compared with eight years before. Had the price last year been 3s. per cwt. higher the company would hays received for sugar produced on their Demerara, Berbice, and Tri nidad estates, no less than 31,600/. in addition to what they actually received. The report presented was, how ever, satisfactory, as showing what could be done under the most unfavourable circumstances. He then entered into details with regard to the accounts and the amount of produce on the company's estates during the last year, the total being 19,651 hogsheads, being 800 in excess of the estimates, the total imports of the year being 38,812 hogs. heads. As regarded the future, he alluded to the im provement in the sugar market and said all persons well acquainted with the subject seemed to anticipate a much better price than that of last year. The general pro duction of the world showed a considerable diminution, and the object of the board was to ensure a larger production in the company's estates. There was a large margin for improved management in Trinidad, and Mr. Bernard was going out to reside there with a view to the development of the company's property. A. friend of his (the chairman's) who had some property there had told him that when estates were well managed they yielded an extraordinaly return. Referring to some machinery invented by Mr. Fryer for im proved sugar production, be said it was used in Antigua very successfully, and the board contemplated adopting it. Efforts were, he added, being made to improve the condi tion of the labourers, 6,000/. having been devoted during the last year to the providing of better dwellings ; and he hoped that company would be a model, not merely as re garded profit, but also as regarded the tees ment of the labourers. (Cheers.) He concluded by stating that it was not intended to call up more than was mentioned in the prospectus. In reply to a question, The CHAIRMAN said he had understood that the fall of the shares in the market on the previous day was caused by a forced sale. . . . . The report was adopted without any previous discussion, and a dividend of sa. per share declared, in addition to :is. distributed previously, making a dividend of 8 per cent. for the year. . . . . . . The CHAIRMAN announced that it was intended to declare an ad interim dividend of to. per share on account of the current half-year. on the motion of Mr. SIMPSON, thanks were voted to the directors. The inauguration of the Albert Orphan Asylum at Collingwood Court, Bagshot, Surrey, and the laying the foundation stone of a dining-hall and chapel by her Majesty the Queen, will take place on Saturday, the 29th ins ant, about 3 o'clock in the afternoon. THE ATTEMPT ON THE LIFE OF THE CZAR.—At a common council holden this morning at Guildhall, Mr. H. Harris brought forward the following motion, " That an address be presented to his imperial Majesty the Emperor of Russia, expressing the horror and indignation felt by th's court at the recent attempt upon his life, and con gratulating him upon his providential escape. That an address be also presented to his imperial Majesty the Em peror of the French, expressive of the feeling of satisfac tion felt by this court at his providential escape from the imminent danger in which he was placed by the attempt to assassinate the Czar." Mr. Hams, in propos ing the motions, said it would be unnecessary to go into any of the details connected with the recent horrible attempt upon the life of the Czar, as the court was well aware of all the facts. The present Emperor of Russia bad shown himself far in advance of any of his predecessors, and be had abolished slavery throughout the whole of his dominions. As to the Emperor of the French, he was aware it was not necessary to say a single word as to the manner in which he conducted the duties of his impor tant station. He should, therefore, at once propose the motion for which he had given notice. Alderman Copeland seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. LORD WEST BURT AND THE LONDON AND BRIGH TON RAILWAY.—The following letter has been addressed by Lord Westbury to Mr. Laing in relation to the views of the Brighton Committee of Investigation with regard to their recommendations for the formation of a new board : —" Hinton St. George, Taunton, June 17.—Dear Mr. Icing,—An explanation is due to you of the circum stances under which the Brighton Investigation Commit tee has (without your concurrence or knowledge) in eluded your name in the list of persons whom they recommend as new directors of the company. At the does of our labours on Friday last, and at the conclu sion of settling the report, my attention was drawn to the form of the resolution of the shareholders on the 111th May ult., and particularly to the last resolution, viz., ' That the directors be requested to place their seats at the disposal of the shareholders, with a view to the reconstitu tion of the board at the adjourned meeting.' On consider ing this resolution it appeared to me to be necessary that the committee should suggest in their report the names of six directors as • now board, and should give notice of a motion for their appointment, otherwise there might be some embarrassment, and would certainly be much delay, in the choice and appointment of • new board. The com mittee concurred with this opinion, and were desirous that you should be one of the persons named in the list, with a view to your being appointed chairman of the new board. There was no time for communication with you. I was myself under the necessity of leaving London home diately, and (as I then expected) of being absent on the Con tinent for some days, and we were compelled to use your name in the manner we have done without the ordinary courtesy of a previous communication. I feel that an apology is due to you, but I also feel even more strongly that it is necessary to state most distinctly that in the communications between yourself and the committee, or (as I believe) any of its members, nothing whatever was said or done by you from which any inference could be drawn that you either desired or would be willing to accept the office of chairman or director, and that the suggestion of your name was the unauthorised act of the committee alone. I beg of you to excuse the manner of doing it, and to accept it as the expression of our opinion that your judgment, administrative talent, and energy would be invaluable in restoring prosperity to the affairs of this fallen company.—Believe me, with cinch respect, yours very faithfully, Wiitrrisenr.-8. Laing, Esq., M.P." - - DREADFUL ACCIDENT AT BAK EW ELL.—THREE MEN KILLED. —A very shocking accident happened at Bekewell, on Monday afternoon, by which three men were instantaneously killed. The men were in the employ of Mr. J. Winaor, quarry owner, and on Monday they, with others, were let down into the quarry and proceeded with their work. On one side of a mass of rock the deceased, William Wildgoose, John Melland, and Samuel Evans were working, andon the other side blasting ...‘e going on, conducted by Samuel Howley, and a quantity of loose stones were falling. Deceased were cautioned to put up proper support. About three o'clock a mama of rock, weighing about some :30 or 40 tons, suddenly came away, rolled over upon the three men and crushed them to death instantaneously. Assistance was obtained from a neighbouring quarry, and after great labour the bodies, which were shockingly mangled, were recovered. Wm. Wildgoose, aged 52, has left • wife and four children ; Samuel Evans, 24, a wife and three children John Midland, 2.5, single. The bodies were removed to the King's Arms. " TURF, FORTUNR, TURN THY WllRRL."—Cuulnt, Andrassy, whom his royal master pronounced to be the most suitable and agreeable representative of the feelings of Hungary that could be selected, cannot be as indifferent to the changes as the singer of Vie words of Tennyson's song, for he was once in exile, living in England, or in any land but Hungary, poor and hope leas, and unconsidered. There was a sentence of death recorded against him. He would probably have been banged had he been caught when the Aus trians were in the hanging mood. Now he is officially th foremost man in Hungary, and stands next to Desk in the affections of his country. He is so without any abatement of principle or subserviency of pur pose. As honest • patriot, as 6nn in maintain ing the right as Desk, be is far more capable as • politician and leader than that rugged rock of • man, who is content with enunciating a principle, and scarcely takes any pains to win men over who oppose it. Count Andrassy has a charm of manner, which is an able auxiliary to his subtle power of persuasion and to his dexterity of management. So many yearn of exile and misfortune, began while he was still very young, have not failed to leave the impress of their sadness on the serenity which characterises him.—Letter from Pettit tAe Alma. MONEY MARKET.-(THI8 DAY.) Oxa o'OLucia. There is still very little demand for pubic securi ties, and the few variations which have occurred in (rices are mostly in an unfavourable direction. The English funds have experienced a fresh de cline of k to 1 per cent., upon additional bond fide sales. The supply of stock now in the hands of the dealers is very large, and, in the absence of extensive purchases on account of bankers and others, it is thought that prices will further recede. The speculators for a rise, however, be lieve that, with a reduction in the Bank rate to 2 per cent., a large amount of money will be withdrawn from the joint-stock banks and dis count establishments, since their rate then will be only 1 per cent. per annum. Some of the English railways are rather lower. The changes in foreign stocks are about evenly balanced. Greek Bonds are inquired for, owing to a belief that the action of most of the great powers may lead to the cession of the island of Candia to that country. The directors of the Bank of England have made no alteration to-day in the rate of discount. The demand for money is moderate, but the supply has somewhat diminished, owing chiefly to preparations for meeting the large payments due at the end of the half-year. The rate for good bills is 2/ to 21 per cent. In the Stock Exchange there is a good demand for loans for a few days on English government securities, and the quotation is firm at 2 to 2/ per cent. Consols are now quoted 941, ex div., for money, and 941 to 1, ex div., for the account (July 10) ; and the Three per Cents. Reduced and New Three per Cents., 931 to 1. The government broke' has bought to-day 16,0001. New Two-and-a-Ralf per Cents. for the sinking fund, at 761. Turkish Bonds of 1862 are flat, and have de clined 1 per cent. Those of 1865 have receded 1, while Greek have improved 1, and Italian of 1861, /. Turkish Bonds of 1862 are quoted 591 to 601 ; ditto Five per Cents. of 1865, 331 to 1 ; Greek, IN to 1 ; Spanish Passive, 231 to 24/ ; ditto Certificates, 141 to ; Italian of 1861, 52 to 1 ; and Mexican, 161 to 17. Ronk shares are inactive. London and West minster are quoted 107 to 108; Union of London, 41 to 42; Alliance, 81 to 8 dis. ; and Imperial Ottoman, to 1 dia. Financial shares exhibit a drooping tendency. International Financial are quoted 11 to 1 1 di. London Financial, 21 to 20 die. ; General Credit, 11 to la dis. ; and Credit Fonder, N to 64 dis. United States 6-20 Bonds have receded 1 per cent., the present price being 721 to 731. Erie Railway shares are quoted 39k to 40, and Illinois Central 79 to /, showing no change. Anglo-American and Atlantic Telegraph 8 pe r cent. preference shares are firm, at 181 to 19 and 41 to a respectively. Tenders are invited for 13,0001. of Six per Cent. Debentures of the Corporation of the city of Pietermaritzburg, Natal. The principal and in terest are made payable at the London and Westminster Bank.

An extraordinary meeting of the Antwerp and Rotterdam Railway Company is called for the 4th of July, when the shareholders " will have to deliberate on the propriety of working the lines from Aix-la-Chapelle to Hasselt, and from Hasselt to lAnden." With reference to the Royal Swedish Railway Company, it is announced that " the directors will be prepared, on and after the Ist July next, to pay the sum of 2s. per obligation on account of interest due thereon." There were no bullion operations at the Bank yes terday. The amount of gold sent in from abroad since the date of the last return is 238,000/., while no withdrawals for export have been announced. The foreign demand for gold has somewhat in creased within the last 24 hours, owing to the dul ness of the exchanges. The City of London has arrived from New York with 189,0001. in specie. The steamer Ceylon will take to-day 11,6541. in specie for the East, of which 10,330/. is for Shanghai. • The biddings for billion India took place yester day at the Bank of England. The amounts allotted were—To Calcutta, 15,60,000 rs. • to Madras, 140,000 n. ; and to Bombay, 9,95 ,000 ra. The minimum price was fixed at Is. Ild. on all the Presidencies. Tenders on Calcutta and Madras will receive about seven per cent., and those above in full. Tenders on Bombay at and above the minimum will receive in full. In consequence of the continued sluggish demand for remittance to India, these terms show a fresh movement of 1 per cent. in favour of this country. We are glad to be enabled to announce that the Atlantic cable of 1866 has been successfully re paired. The ship Chiltern sailed from Greenwich on the sth inst. with an experienced staff from the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Com pany, and in thirteen days after she left, the repair was accomplished. The injury proved to be at the very place indicated by the electricians testing from Valenti.i, viz.., two miles and a half from the station at Heart's Content. Mr. Leeman's bill, relating to transactions in Bank shares, having received the royal assent, the requisite regulations, it is understood, will be con sidered by the committee of the Stock Exchange at an early date. With reference to the affairs of the London, Chat ham, and Dover Railway Company, it appears that in committee of the House of Commons both Mr. Price's and Mr. Turner's bills have 'been thrown out, while those promoted respectively by the de benture holders and the directors have been amal gamated, and are passing in this form. Under this new bill it is provided that four directors shall be appointed by the debenture holders and a like number by the shareholders. Any point on which agreement cannot be come to is to be carried before the Board of Trade, whose decision is to be final. The creditors power of sale over the line is to be extended to ten years. An improvement of about per cent. took place in the stock this afternoon upon this latest phase of the company's affairs. Most of the railway traffic returns published this week include the Whit week receipts of 1867, and consequently show a large increase over last year. The London and North-Western Railway return shows an increase of 11,373/. over last year ' • the Midland an increase of 10,7621. ; and the North London an increase of 7521.
