HARVEY LXWM4, M.P. TO THE EDITOR OP THE /EPROM Sin,—My attention has been called to a letter from Mr. 11. A. !aped, in which he says, " I take this opportunity of repeating my emphatic denial of having addressed the words attributed to me by Mr. H. Lewis, to himself or to any other member in the lobby. I may add that I have feilloll to believe that of the five gentle men, who, in addition to Mr. Lewis and myself, were in the division, not one of them can bear out his statement that such words were used by me." I beg in reply, in an equally emphatic manner to declare that the words which I attributed to Mr. I*yard were uttered by that gentleman in the lobby, and as no one was, ea I believe, near Mr. Layard and myself, it is there fore probable that not one of the five gentlemen alluded to heard either Mr. Layard's observations or mine. As germane to this matter, I may add that a friend of Mr. layard's spoke to me in the house on this subject on Friday evening, and expressed a desire to reconcile the discrepiney between Mr. Lapsed and myself, by saying I must have beard some similar words spoken by Mr. Layard in the house during the debate, and not in the lobby. But I replied that this was simply impossible, as Mr. Layard was seated in the front opposition bench, while I was seated close to the bar, and could not hear what was said, and I repeated t o that gentleman, as I did in the house, and as I do now through you to the public, that the words which I attributed to Mr. La and as having been used by him in the lobby were so used by him in that place.—l am, be., HARVEY LEWIS. 24, Grosvenor-street, W., May 21. Mr. Henley, on the second reading of Minced's Charities Bill, will more that it be referred to a select committee. The Marquis of Westminster has given 2,0001. toward the support of the Women's Almshouses at Shaftes bury, 500/. to the Salisbury Infirma:/, and 1001. to the Bath Hospital.

The government has granted licenses for the re opening of the cattle markets at Dorchester, Wimbornt, Shaftesbury, StunionaterNewton, and Sherborne. CHURCH OF ENGLAND SCHOOLS AND THE CON PCIENCE CLAUAE.—A return issued this morning for the infonuation of parliament gives a variety of statistics con cerning the grants to Church of England Schools. It appears that between the Ist of January, 1861, and the 31st of March, 1867, the number of applications for grants to build National or Church of England Schools in which no conscience clause Las been insisted on is 829. In 68 cases the refusal of a grant has been met by the agree ment of the promoters to insert the conscience clause in the deed. In tte of these eases annual grants have been applied for, and have been received or promised. In 37 eases the refusal of a grant has been maintained because the insertion of the conscience clause in the deed has not been accepted by the promoters. Twelve of these, how ever, have received annual grants. Out of 954 schools, which during the time specified have applied for grants, 651 national schools and 69 others have applied for annual grsata, and have received or been promised them.

THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 21, 1867. when he caught hold of him, he said, " Don't strike me, and I'll go with you." On returning to the house, witness found the back door open. On searching Harris he found him wearing a coat and a pair of trousers over his own clothes. He also found upon him an opera glass and 49 rig tr 4, seven skeleton keys, and a wax taper. Police constable Moore, said he found upon the other prisoner a great coat and a pair of trousers over his own clothes, also in his possession, six neckties, two gold necklets, brooch, 84 cigars, and otheenrticles. The prosecutor identified the whole of the property found upon the prisoners, with the exception of the skeleton keys, as having been taken from his wardrobes and drawers. He said he left home on Saturday night, when all his property was safe and every door in the house secured and bolted, with the exception of the front dour, which was locked only. Mr. Ingbam remanded the prisoners to ascertain whether they had been convicted. THE PROSECUTIOII OF THE ST. ALBAI'S CLERGY. COURT OF ARCHRS.--(TRIS DAY.) MARTIN V. NAM/SOCHI!. In this case the office of the judge was promoted by Mr. Martin, on the part of the Church Association, an evange lical body established about two years ago for the purpose, AS stated, of resisting the progress of Romish error in the church of England, the defendant in the case being the Rev. A. H. Meckonochie, M. A., the incumbent of St. Alban's, Holborn. The defence has been undertaken by the English Church Union, whose president, the Hon. Colin Lindsay, and many numbers, were present. The court was crowded with clergymen and others who take an interest in the matter. _ _ Dr. Stephens, for the promoters of the suit, stated ge nerally that the charges against Mr. Mackonochie were vir tually four-1. That he practised the elevation and adora tion of the Host ; 2. Using lighted candles during the ad ministration of the Holy Communion. 3. Using incense. 4. Mixing water with the wine. Sir it. Phillimore, Q.C., the Queen's Advocate, objected to the articles on the part of the defendant, fi rst, that there was a want of due speci fi cation of the law ; and second, a want of due specification of the facts. By the statute law and the constitution of the canons eoclesiaati cal, all ministers of the church of England in holy orders were bound to conduct their ministrations according to the terms of the Book of Common Prayer. The court would notice that throughout these articles no particular statute was mentioned, but the law was spoken of in a lump, and it was of the highest importance to Mr. Mackonochie that he should know what particular law he was charged with contravening. Now it was alleged that on the 23rd and 30th of December, 1866, and on Christmas-day in the same year, he elevated the paten and chalice during the ad ministration of the Holy Communion in a greater degree than by merely taking the same into his hands, and in a greater degree than otherwise. He con tended that it should be specifically stated in what way this should be done, and that such a vague expression as that contained in the articles should not be permitted. The articles proceeded to specify other acts which Mr. Mackonochie had done and sanctioned, but it was nowhere stated who had done them with his sanction, or against what law he had offended. The learned counsel combated all the articles in the same way, and asked that the court would amend them. He should then be able to put in his responsive allegations, and to argue the case on its merits. Mr. W. M. James, Q.C. followed on the same side, contending that the acts ch arged against Mr. Mackonochie were innocent things and constituted no offence. The Dean of Arches inquired whether it was contended that any deviation from the order of the Prayer-book was an indifferent act! Mr. Jameesaid that burning incense for instance was no more an offence than burning coal, or gas, or ?utiles in a church. Unless the act@ of Mr. Mackonochie were in troduced for the purpose of depraving the Book of Corn. mon Prayer, and for introducing teaching contrary to that of the Prayer-book, there was no offence. Dr. Stephens, for the promoters of the suit, contended that these proceedings were Wien under a general eccle siastical law, by which every clergyman was bound to per form the services of the church according to the Act of Uniformity. He contended, therefore, that the specifica tions were sufficient, and opposed any amendment of the articles. Mr:ijoleridge. Q.C., followed on the same side. The Dean of Arches said, with regard to the articlewhich charged Mr. Mackonochie with elevating the paten and &alias higher than necessary it was too rave and ought to be amended. Other articles he referred back for amend ment. (The learned judge spoke in so low a tone that it was hardly posrible to hear a word.) THE EXTENSIVE FORGERIES IN FRAUD OP THE LATE LEEDS BANKING COMPANY. MANSION-HOUSE,—(THIS DAY.) This morning Edward Devillers, the Frenchman I charged with forging divers bills of exchange to the amount of 120,0001., with intent to defraud the late Leeds Banking Company, was brought u p _in custody on remand for further examination before the Lord Mayor. Mr. Poland (instructed by Messrs. Freshfield) again at tended for the prosecution ; and Mr. Sleigh (instructed by Messrs. Parker, Lee, and Haddock) appeared for the pri soner. The court was again crowded, and the proceedings commenced by Mr. Edward Greenland, the ex-manager of the Leeds Banking Company, being recalled as • witness. Mr. Green land, as before, was brought up in custody from Nevegate by Mr. Kean, the governor of the Leeds gaol. Mr. Greenland in answer to questions put, stated that he never discounted any bills for the Maydempeck Forest Company except for Edgeley Teals, and Co., and he had nosecurity for any of these bills. They were all drawn in favour of Teale, Edgeley, and Co. All the bills purported to be accepted for the Maydempeck Forest Com pany. He was not at all aware that the bills were all drawn in London at the offices of Teals and Co., and that they were in the handwriting of the clerks of that firm. He was told that some of the bills were signed by Diaelli, the former secretary of the company. When the account was opened with the Leeds Bank both Edgeley and Teals signed their banker's book. Mr. Greenland was subjected to • long crone-examina tion, but the principal material point s th a t a pp eare d t o be elicited were that the witness had no recollection of any concession relating to the Maydempeck Trust Com pany having been lodged with the bank as collateral se curity before the bills he referred to were discounted for Edgeley. He also stated that the Leeds Bank bad dis counted bills for Edgeley, Teals, and Co., before the sub ject of the Maydempeck Forest Company was mentioned. Mr Dresser was then recalled, and he stated that he • went to Berrie to make some inquiries respecting the sup posed Maydempeck Faust Company, and he could not find that any such company wee known at Maydempeck. There was a very large forest occupying several leagues in extent, but there would be great difficulty in conveying timber to England on account of the distance of the forest from the banks of the Danube. Mr. E. H. Watts deposed that he became acquainted with Mr. Edgeley in 1858, and at that time he had an office in Size-lane. Witness knew nothing of business when he went to Mr. Edgeley's office, and he was to be taught the nature of mercantile affairs. Mr. Sleigh objected that what took place in the year 1&58, could not be relevant to the present inquiry. 1 The witness went on to say that after a short time he went into partnership with Mr. Edgeley, and his father, who was • clergyman in the country. put 800/. into the business, and they traded as Thomas Edgeley and Co. [The case was proceeding when we went to press.] ACCIDENT AT ALDERSHOT. —At the grand assault of arms given yesterday at Aldershot by the gymnasium instructors in the riding school of the Rest Cavalry Bar racks, on behalf of the funds of the Camp Female Acepi tal, a very serious accident occurred. In performing on the horizontal bar Corporal Walker, 2nd battalion Ist Royals, one of the best gymnasts at the station, was going through what is known among professionals as the " for. ward circle," and after accomplishing this feat for several seconds he was whirling round at a terrific rate, when he fell on to the stage with a dull thud that echoed through the building. Captain Bathe and Sergeant-Major Tarbot ton, assisted by other instructors, who were present, con veyed the poor fellow off the stage insensible, and bore him into the dressing-room, where Dr. Lithgow, 17th Lancers, was at once in attendance, and, after a quarter of an hour's exertion, succeeded in bringing the unfortunate corporal to his senses. It was feared at first that the right jaw was broken, but on examination this was found to be not the case. Corporal Walker and his son had been per forming some wonderful feats during the afternoon, but he moat have become giddy, or he would not have fallen. The poor fellow is very much injured. FOREIGN BARLEY.—In the year 1866 the import of foreign barley into the United Kingdom rose to 2,361,482 quarters. The average price of imported barley, ss regis tered at the London Custom-house, was 31s. 9d. per quarter, exclusive of the duty ; and the average price of British barley, as ascertained by the Controller of Corn Returns, was 375. 4d. per quarter. In the first quarter of 1867, 598,263 quarters of foreign barley have been im ported, the average price registered at the Custom-house being 35e. ld., and the average price of British barley in the same period being 435. ad. CORPORATION LOAN.—Yesterday, in the short space of two hours, the whole of a loan of 265,000 L, which the Corporation of London has been empowered by act of parliament to contract for the purchase of Southwark bridge, and towards the erection of that at Blaakfriars, was subscribed by the public. The subscripti o n t o ok place at the office of the Chamberlain of London, at Guildhall, and the competition was vigorous from the first. The loan is limited to 12 years, with interest in the meantime at 4; per cent., the capital and interest being secured on the Bridge house estates, with a guarantee from the Cor poration of London itself. Of the money so raised, the sum of 200 0001, is to go in payment of the purchase money for Southwark-bridge, recently bought by the cor poration, in order to be made free to the public, and 15,000/. for rent to the company while the experiment was being tried of making the bridge free. The remaining 50,0001. may be applied towards the erection cf the new bridge at Tllackfriars, for which a large sum hoe already been appropriated. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY. (Before Mr. Bodkin, kieietant-Judge.) DIMIPME4TY AND PENITICICE. James Erna'NUS Bartlett, 30, clerk, was indicted for stealing 3s orders for the payment of 700/. and upwards, and the sum of 70/. in money, the property and monies of Joseph Storrs Fry, and others, his masters. Mr. F. H. Lewis appeared for the prosecution. The prisoner, who seemed to feel his situation very acutely, pleaded guilty. The prisoner was in the employ of Messrs. Fry and Son, chocolate manufacturers, in the City-road, as warehouse man, and enjoyed the confidence of his employers, so far that ho was entrusted with large sums of money to put into the bank every Saturday afternoon. On the 27th of April a beg was made up containing 28 cheques, amount ing to 7651. 21., three U. Bank of England notes, and 65/. in gold, and directed the prisoner to take it to Messrs. Roberts, the bankers, in Lombard-street. The prisoser went away, but never returned. On the following Monday the prisoner's wife went to the prosecutors, and from what she said the police were communi cated with, and the matter was placed in the hands of Sergeant Ham, • detective officer of the P division, who went in search of the prisoner, and found him at No. 9 Pond's-row, Camberwell. He told him that he should take him into custody for robbing his employers of up wards of 8001., and he said it was all right, and that it was bad company that had led him into it. lie said he had been in the habit of going to the bank on Saturday, but he called in at a public-house opposite the Mansion-house and lost the money. This was not true, however, for a few days before the prisoner gave his brother-in-Law ' a man named Waterman, • parcel containing a large sum of money to mind for him. Mr. F. H. Lewis said, on behalf of the prosecution, he was directed to recommend the prisoner to mercy, and he wished to read to the court the following letter, which had been received by the prosecutors from him show ing his contrition for what he had clone:— " House of Detention, May 9, 1817.—Gentlemen,—With humble contrition and heaviness of heart, I respectfully solicit your kind forbearance and forgiveness for my past errors. My prayers, morning and night, have been offered to the Almighty, that he may incline your hearts to restore me again to liberty. Oh, how I wish I could read the false and rash step I have taken! The thought of my future prospects harrow my mind. The cares and troubles I have brought upon myself, my dear wife, and four little ones, distresses me more than I have power to describe, and yet the punishment is just. I have for twelve months entirely disregarded religious communion, and have suffered accordingly. Instead of manfully striving against domestic difficulties, and seeking Almighty aid, I gave up to despair and carelessness, and at last ended by being a drunkard and thief ! W hen I think of my early instruction and the length of years I have held my position, and that now, for sordid and gotten gain,' should lose all,the thought i s racking to my soul ! But, thank God ! I have these last few days found great consolation under the influence of His holy book. After leaving the City-road on the Saturday I called to have a glass of ale in the neighbourhood, and ;walked to the-Euro pean had more there, and stood talking with several in front of the bar till past 3 o'clock. Finding I was too late to bank the money, the evil thought arose in my mind that I would abscond, and from that moment to the present, or until I arrived in Camberwell, I think the finger of God was upon me, and had I not returned when I did some bad and awful end would have been put to my career. Not a soul but myself was cognisant of the deed I had committed. I fled to Paris by way of Dieppe. Stopped in Paris one night without rest of any kind. I left Paris at 12 o'clock, the following day Dieppe, and there got into very bad company to stifle the strong voice of conscience. I re turned to Camberwell, and in the hands of my brother-in law lodged some money. He then told me the distress I had caused at home, and under his advice I returned and was captured. Gentlemen, my memory is much shattered with the excitement of the pant week. Oh, do restore me into the bosom of my family once again. Let me prove by my subsequent life my gratitude ; and oh, do if possible spare me the pain of another public examination. For the sake of my dear wife and four children, oh, do have pity. That the Almighty God may induce your hearts in my behalf is the prayer of yours (us great trouble), "Junta E. BARTLETT." Mr. F. H. Lewis said, in addition to these feelings of regret for what he had dune, the prisoner bad given such information as had led to the recovery of all the cheques ezeept one that the prisoner had got cashed, and the whole of the money with the exception of about 501. had been recovered. _ _ , one of the prosecutors, was called, and strongly recommended the prisoner to mercy on account of his wife and four little children. The Assistant-Judge said it was entirely due to the merciful prosecutor that the court had not felt its duty to send the prisoner to penal servitude for at least seven years, as be had robbed his employers to the extent of several hundreds of pounds. He had lost his character and brought ruin on his family. As he had been so strongly recommended to mercy the sentence of the court upon him was that he be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for 18 months. THE POLICE COURTS. (THIB DAY.) SOUTHWARK. ELOPEMENT AND ROBBERY. William Holman, 46, a tall shabby-looking man, was brought before Mr. Woolrych charged with stealing 29 sovereigns andawriting-desk, the propertyof Robert Kent, under the following circumstances : The prosecutor is a oorn inetor, residing at 64, Gains ford-street, Horselydown, and the prisoner, who is a single man, formerly lodged with him, and some weeks ago "educed' the affections of his wife and eloped with her, leaving her husband and two daughters —one of whom was blind. On Friday morning, the 10th instant, ithe prose cutor left safe in a large box in his bedroom a writing-desk containing 29 sovereigns all in gold. On his return from work in the evening he found that the box had been wrenched open, and the desk with all the money gone. He gore information to the police, and traced the prisoner to Bow-common when he gave him into custody. Louisa Elizabeth Kent, 18 years of age, daughter of the prosecutor, said that on Friday afternoon, the 10th. the prisoner came to their home and told her that her mother IVY at Brookes's in the Borough, and particularly wanted to see her, and said that he would keep the house while she went there. She declined leaving the house with him, but after a while consented to accompany bim,and on their arrival at Brookes's the prisoner left her to speak to some one, but she lost sight of him. Finding he did not return to her she went home and then she found that the prisoner had been there and stolen the money. She knew that be bad eloped with her mother, and she was in hopes that she wished to return to her family, or she should not have left home. Harriet Gardiner, 12 years of age, said she was left in charge of the house and the blind sister, by last witness and about half an hour after they left the prisoner re turned to the house, and said that he was unwell and wished to lay down for • short time. He then entered the bed room and closed the door. Witness then beard a noise of breaking wood, and on looking through • crack in the door she perceived the prisoner standing near the open box, and the small desk was on the table. Witness called in Mrs. Mortley, • neigh bour, who saw him leave the house with • bag under his arm, containing something like a box or desk. On tearing the house, he said he was only going to get half • pint of beer and some tobacco, and be should soon re turn. He, however, did not return ; and as soon as he wasgone, witneseaod Mrs. Mortley entered the bedroom and found the large box broken open, and the small desk containing the money was gone. In answer to Mr. Woolrych, witness said that no one else had entered the bedroom after Miss Kent left the kenos but the prisoner. The bedroom adjoined the sitting room, and the door was open when he came back, and then she was certain that the box was safe. Sergeant Ilarsuni, 9 M, said he received information of the robbery, and traced the prisoner to llow•common, where he apprehended him on the previous day. On tell. Mg him what he was charged with, he said, " Oh, that has got to be found." On searching him he found • pencil which the prosecutor identified as having been in the desk with the money. On Mr. Woolrych asking the prisoner whether he had anything to say why he should not be committed for trial, he asked for a remand to enable him to communicate with his friends in Devonshire and consult • solicitor. Mr. Woolrych accordingly remanded him. WANDSWORTH. RICZIALTON KZ? THIZVIS. Thomas Harris, AS, sailor, address refused, and John Caidon, .11, traveller, of Belford, Manchester. were charged with entering the house of Mr. C. Smith Logan, a bank clerk of No. 7, Guilford-road, South Lunbeth, and steal ing a variety of articles. Sergeant Newman, 25 W, said yesterday morning at 5 o'clock, be was on duty in Guilford-road, and while speaking to a constable named Cross, he saw the pri soner Caldron came into the garden of No. 7, from the front arra, and look up and down the street. The prisoner seeing them standing about 20 yards off hastily returned into the area, and disappeared. Witnees and the constable immediately ran into the garden, and down the area steps to the kitchen door, which they found dosed and fastened on the inside. Witness then remained in front of the house while Cross went to the rear in Lansdowne-place, north. He afterwards returned with both prisoners. Witness examined the house and found that it had been completely ransacked, drawers, boxes., and every little thing broken open and the contents strewed about the rooms. He believed that an entrance bad been effected by the front door with false keys. The family were not stay ing in the house at the time. The witness added that he found a screw-driver on the mantel shelf in the front bed room, and it corresponded with all the marks on the drawers and boxes.

THE DREADFUL ACCIDENT AT BLACIFRIARS NEW BRIDGE. INQUEST.—(THIS DAY.) At 12 o'clock to-day Mr. Wm. Payne, the City coroner, held an investigation at Guy's Hospital, touching the circumstances attending an accident at Blackfriars New Bridge, by which Thomas Cranfield, aged 37 years, lost his life, and three other men were seriously injured. Messrs. G. H. and S. Brandon, solicitors, of Essex street, Strand, attemded to watch the proceedings on behalf of Messrs. Thorne, the contractors for the erection of Blackfriara New Bridge. The tint witness called was Thomas Jones, who said that he lived at No. 22, Groat Guildford-street, Southwark, and that he was employed as a labourer at Blackfriars New Bridge. He knew the de ceased, and had worked with him as a diver, and he had dredged the cylinders out On last Saturday morning, at 20 minutes to 10 o'clock, witness was at work on the No. 4 stage concreting. The deceased was then lying in the water outside an iron cylinder, and between that and • timber pile. Witness then helped to get him into a boat. Witness did not see anything that happened. Witness then saw the cylinder, or iron caisson, near the water, and it was broken. It had been intended to have lowered that caisson into the river for the purpose of allowing men to work inside it, so as to enable them to make the foundations of the pier of the new bridge. It wee twenty feet diameter bur more. Witness thought that it weighed about forty tons. The iron caissons were lowered into the water by means of chains and pulleys. There was • piece of iron rivetted on the iron caisson for that purpose. There was • hole made in the piece of iron for the purpose of slipping the chain through before it was lashed round the o•uson, which in the present instance was • " cutwater" one. In the present case • piece of iron had been rivetted at three different parts of the caisson, and chains were "lashed" round it three times. The chains were then passed through three " block'," or pulleys, and then they were worked by • " crab" or wynch, and by means of turning the handles of the wynch the men on the platform gradually lowered the caisson into the river. Witness had assisted in putting the chains on the crab on the Wednesday preceding the f►tal occurrence. By a juror—The chain was not • new one. It was rusty. Witness noticed that when he put it on one link was " cracked through." Witness continued—l called the attention of our ganger to it. His name is Walter Smith. He is now in the hospital. We bad • convers►- tion about it. Smith told the foreman, " One of the links of the chain is bad." He said, " Take it to the blacksmith." The juror—Was that done ? Witness—Not while I was there. The juror—Was it that chain that gave way, or was it that part of the chain? _ . . _ Wiimese—l do not know. All the chains were old. Ido not know whether they had been used in lowering other caissons. I have not been employed at the works long. By Mr. Brandon—l do not know whether the chains were kept specially for the purpose. When I say that the chains were old my definition of the word " old" is that they were not new. They were coated with rust. I do not know whether they had got old from use. [The inquiry was proceeding when our report left.] CHARTERED MERCANTILE BANK OP INDIA, LONDON, AND CHINA.-(THIS DAY.) The ninth annual meeting of the shareholders was held at 1 o'clock, at the offices, 65, Old Broad-street ; Mr. G. G. Nicol. in the chair. The following report was presented : " The directors now submit to the shareholders the audited balance-sheet, profit and lass and reserve fund accounts, for the period ending Slit Dee. last. From these it will be seen that the profit 'mounts to 102,2211. 34 2d., to which has to be added 2,7131. 14a. 2d., brought forward from the previous year, making a total of 104,9341. 17s. 4d. A sum of 75,0004 has been paid in two half-yearly dividends of 6 per cent. each. The shareholders will probably have anticipated from the disastrous events of 1866, that the results of the Bank'. operations for that year have been unsatisfactory. Looking forward to the possibility of continued danger, the directors considered it their duty to curtail ea much as possible their business at all points, and it will be seen from the accounts that this policy has been strictly carried out, though at the oat of a very material reduction of the usual profits of the bank. In the report of last year it was stated that losses of an exceptional character had been incurred at Bombay in 1865. Full provision was made for them on closing the simnel' for the year, in accordance with the report received from the branch, but the amount proved to be insufficient, end this added to losses incurred in 1866—though these have been comparatively small— has necessitated a heavy sum being withdrawn from the reserve fund, which now stands at 145,9021. 14a. Bd. The directors, however, express the confident opinion that all further danger having now passed away, a pros perous future may be fairly reckoned on, more especielly as the previous excessive banking competition im much reduced, and the great laxity ooasequent thereon no longer exists. Since the date of the last report, Mr. Robertson, the chief manager, has personally inspected every branch India, China, and Japan, and the directors are gratified in being able to state that the result of his inspection has been perfectly satisfactory. The directors retiring on this occasion are Mr. George Garden Nicol and Mr. James Murray Robertson, who, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election and the court recommends them accord ingly. The shareholders will have to appoint auditors for the current year." The CHAIRMAN. in moving the adoption of the report, observed that the board had adopted the policy of restrict ing business for the present as much as possible, and not withstanding the looses which had been incurred, the bank was in a sound state, adding that 20.0001. more had been set aside for losses than the board expected would be ultimately sustained. The report was adopted, and the proceedings terminated in the usual manner. Dr. Celeriac, has issued a pastoral addressed to the clergy and laity, announcing that now it had been aszstained that there wet to be no appeal from Lord Romilly's judgment. the time had oome for him to vindi cate his authority for maintaining order in his rhumb. He bade the clergy, if they thought him in error, to teach what they themselves believed, but required doe caw-mica obedience. BUIVILARY. —The police have received inform& tion of a burglary having taken place last night at Meows. Cameron's, silk fringe manufacturers, Marshsll•atreet. Golden-square. It appears that an entrance was gained by the outer door being opened by means of a false key, and the warehouse then broken into, and silk and other articles of the value of shout 3001. carried off. DROWNED WHILSTATTELTPTIN4; — TO SAY' A Doo.—A very painful case of drowning took place in the river Don, near Doncaster, on Sunday morning. A painter at the Railway Plant Works, named Wharton, end who was only tbirty-one years of age. went with his wife for a walk in Crimpeall, by the river side. They took their little dog with them, and were accompanied by a friend and his wife, who had also a dog with them. When opposite Newton the deceased suggested that the dog should be sent into the water, but his dog being a very young one did not take the river so kindly as was expected, and Wharton asked his friend to throw it in. This was done when the poor little animal was seen struggling as though it were drowning, thereupon deceased, who was a good swimmer, took off all hie things, save his stockings and trousers and jumped into the river to the rescue of his dog. Directly he got into the water he appeared to struggle vio lently, and almost immediately went down. He rose again on his side, and his friend rushed nearly up to his neck in the river and put out his hand to save him. At the rune instant the poor distracted wife rushed to the water im ploring the man to save her husband or to let her die with him, and it was all he could do to prevent her jumping in after her husband. In the meantime the unfortunate man had disappeared, whilst the little dog had struggled to shore. The body of the deceased was recovered about two hoar afterwards, and an inquest was held last evening bean Mr. John Lister, the borough coroner, when a ver dict was returned in accordance with the above fasts. — Lear Mercury. MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.) On o'Clow. The English funds opened this morning at an improvement of i per cent., but have since re lapsed to the last prices of yesterday, in the absence of purchases for the Sinking Fund by the government broker, combined with sales by recent speculations for a rise, with a view to realise profits. British railways are still in active request, partly on orders from the provinces, and exhibit a fresh advance. South Eastern stock is in prominent demand. Some of the foreign bonds are flatter. The dulness of the weather, and the circumstance that many of the dealers will be away from the City to-morrow (Derby-day) tends to check fresh business at the moment. The demand for discount to-day is very mode rate, and the supply of money has increased. The rate for choice bills, however, is unaltered, at 21 per cent. The charge for short loans in the Stock Exchange is 11 per cent. Consuls are now quoted 93 to 1, with div., for money, and 91,1 to 1, ex div., for the ac count (June 6); and the Three per Cents. Re duced and New Three per Cents., 91 to 1. As regards foreign stocks, Greek and Italian of 1861 are in request, and have risen to 1 per cent. ; but Spanish Passive and Certificates have declined to the same extent. Turkish of 1865 and Mexican are also 1 lower. Turkish Bonds of 1865 are quoted 311 to ; Greek, 141 to 15 ; Spanish Passive, 221 to 1 ; ditto Certificates, 141 to 1 ; Italian of 1861, 521 to 1; Mexican, 17 to 1. American securities are without change of im portance. The 5-20 bonds are quoted 721 to ; Erie Railway shares, 421 to 1 ; and Illinois Central, 761 to 3. Anglo-American Telegraph shares are 2s. 6d. better, at 18 to 1, but Atlantic Telegraph Eight per Cent. Preference show no variation at 41 to R. The improvement of yesterday in financial shares is maintained, and miscellaneous are steedy. International Financial are quoted 21 to 2 dia.; London Financial, 22 to 21 dis. ; General Credit, 21 to 2 dis. ; Credit Fonder, 51 to 1 die. ; and Hudson's Bay, 161 to 1. Bank shares are firm. Imperial Ottoman and Union of London have risen Si. to 10s., being quoted Ito dis., and 391 to 401, respectively. Alliance show a favourable tendency, at 10 to 91 die. A petition for the winding up of the National Provincial Marine Insurance Company (Limited) is to be heard before the Master of the Rolls on the let of June. The ordinary general meeting of the Malta and Mediterranean Gas Company (Limited) will be held on the sth of June, when a dividend will be declared. An extraordinary meeting is also con vened for the same day, for the purpose of increas ing the capital of the undertaking, exercising its borrowing powers, and authorising the purchase of a concession, contract, land, and works, for lighting Bari, iu Italy. Subjoined is an extract from the report just issued, of the Madras Navigation and Canal Company : ' "An account of receipts and expenditure in Eng land and India to the 31st December last has been duly audited, and a balance sheet properly certified is appended to this report, by which a balance of 34,8511. 6s. 4d. cash unexpended on the above date is shown. The guaranteed capital will, it is calculated, be wholly expended in India by the middle of next month (June), from which period the expenditure on account of the agreed advance of 600,0001. by the Secretary of State will com mence." The amount of gold now awaiting disposal here is about 350,000/., including 277,0001. reported this morning by the City of Paris, from New York. The whole is expected to be taken to the Bank during the next few days. HALP-PAIIT 01411 O'CLOCK. The stock markets are generally flatter, upon speculative realisations and a renewal of sales for a fall. Console are now quoted 92k to 93, with div., for money, and 91} to $, ex div., for the account, being i per cent, lower than the price given above. Midland Railway stock has fallen to 104 to 110, and Great Eastern to 31/ to }. In the English funds yesterday there was a further clear rise of per cent., and though this intimation may seem a very ordinary one, its im portance will be appreciated when we bear in mind that, spread over 730,000,0001. of 3 per cent. stock (Consols 398,000,0001. ; Three per Cent. Reduced, 107,000,0001. ; and New Three per Cents., 225,003,00014, it means that fundholders through out the kingdom see their property worth up wards of 3,600,0001. more than it was on Saturday. For several years past the British funds have been depressed in price, owing to the constant creation of competing securities, mostly yielding higher rates of interest ; but for the last twelve months there has been a material slackening of the supply, and distrust of many other investments has natu rally driven money into our funds. The public still buy with caution in some railway stocks, and are evidently desirous of receiving more definite assur ances with regard to the extent of the floating en gagements of the various com pa nies, and the neces sary reforms in their financial administration. It will be matter for grave regret if the satisfaction felt by railway shareholders at witnessing the present partial recovery in their property should have the effect of lulling them into supineness, and inducing them to desist from vigilant criticism of such gigantic extension schemes, for example, as those which the Midland Railway board are now endea vouring to push through, in defiance of tho clearly expressed wishes of a large portion of the proprie ry ta body. A meeting of the Venezuelan bondholders of 1864 is convened for Thursday next, for the pur pose of electing a committee, and for the adoption of such measures as may be considered best for their interests. _ . -- Wiihieier;nce to New Granada Bonds, Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. have given notice that the dividend warrants due the Ist June on the Three per Cent. Bonds and on the Old Active Bonds, at 12s. 50. per 1001., and on the Deferred Bonds at 3s. 6d. per 1001., will be paid in due course. _ _ About 20,000 sovereigns from Egyptand 38,0001. in bar gold were sent into the Bank yesterday. a Including 450,0001. justannouneed as havingbeen Onpped from New York, the total of gold on the way from the United States and Australia to Eng land is close upon 1,750,0001., the great bulk of which, according to present appearances, will be retained here. The City of Paris has arrived from New York, with 1,388,709 dollars in specie ; the Malta, from the same purt, with 26,500/. ; the Damascus, from Sydney, with 15,500/. ; and the Tanjore, from Alexandria, with 5,750!. The South Eastern Railway traffic return shows this week a decrease of 7901. compared with the corresponding week of 1866. The Committee of the Western Railways' Share holders' Association have forwarded to the share holders of the Briatol and Exeter Railway Company a circular soliciting them to pronounce upon the advisability or otherwise of extensions or increase of capital. We extract from the circular as fol lows : At the request of the committee of tbeWsidera Railways' Shareholders' Association, we forward you a form of proxy in favour of the delegates appointed by the associa tion to attend the Wharuclifte meeting of this company— for the purpose of voting against unnecessary extensions or increase of capital. We have the pleuure to inform you that the delegates have carefully considered the state ment forwarded to the shareholders in reference to the bills to be submitted to the meeting, and they are of opinion, having regard to the existing liabilities of the company fur extensions, that ik is most undesirable for the shareholders to sanction the guarantee of the interest on the debenture de* (166,000/.) of the North Devon and Somerset Company, as proposed in the further powers bill, and quite unneces sary for them to sanction the Exe Valley Extension, as they are advised that any pledge given by directors to parliament is known by parliament to be subject to the approval of a Wharneliffe meeting. It is a subject fur eon gra.nlation to the committee of this emaciation that the directors of the London and South Western Company have withdrawn their bill which had reference to the Devon and Cornwall and Central Cornwall Railways, and that the shareholders of that company, at their Wharncliffe meet ing on Thursday last, unanimously rejected their projected extensions. At an extraordinary general meeting of the East India Land Credit and Finance Company (Limited), held yesterday, special resolutions were passed fog reducing the number of directors, and the amount of remuneration, with a view to the eventual closing of the business of the undertaking. At a meeting yesterday of Liebig's Extract of Meat Company(Limited)interest was declared at tha rate of 6 per cent. per annum, in addition to a bonus of 3s. per share , both free of income tax.
