THE CHOLERA AT LivitarooL.---Another death from cholera occurred at the workhouse yesterday (says the Lie. Mercury), and a female nurse and a male assistant from that establishment, who were attending to emigrants at Bank Hall, have been attacked by the direful disesse, and removed to the hospital at the work house. THE CATTLE PLAGUE AND THE AGRICULTURAL 6R0W8.--Conaiderable derangement of the annual stock shows in Yorkshire will occur this year, on account partly of the fear of rinderpeet being re-introdnced and partly on account of the dispirited condition of some of the farmers. In some cases the shows will not be held at all, and in others where horses are the chief feature there will be no classes for the exhibition of horned cattle.—Eastern anili nes Herald. THE CATTLE PLAGUE IN IRELAND.—We publish in another column full details, extracted from the Belfast papers, respecting the reported outbreak of the rinderpest in the county Down. It is satisfactory to learn that the disease has appeared in an extremely mild form. This mob is evident from the extraordinary fact that, although h is stated to have been in the locality for five weeks, only eight deaths have taken place. It is, we believe, alto gether without precedent that a disease of such terrible virulence should have found its way into a district, and inflicted so comparatively small an amount of injury. Indeed some doubts, in which even a re spectable veterinary surgeon, specially sent down fromthe Bestle, participated, were naturally entertained at first as whether it was really the dread plague or a severe form of one of the ordinary distempers to which stock is liable. It was not until Professor Ferguson proceeded to the spot, in obedience to a telegraphic summons, that a posi tive opinion was pronounced. He at once de dared it to be the rinderpest, and adopted such stringent ramming's'', in his judgment, the urgency of the ease de mandml The farm has been completely isolated, and the animals which had been exposed to the risk of contagion have been slaughtered. The first report of the appear ance of the plague excited the utmost consternation, but the decisive action of Professor Ferguson bad the effect of restoring confidence, so that in the last accounts we find it stated that cattle were grazing in adjoining lands, at the very verge of the enclosure, as if the belief were still cherished that the dire Ise bad not reached our shores. A meeting of the Privy Council was held yesterday at Dub lin Castle, at which the order which we stated yesterday was ready to be issued was promulgated. It does not posi tively announce the outbreak, hut, in terms calculated to mitigate alarm, states that " it is apprehended."—Dubhn - Er rP s iOSION OF GAS AND Loss OF LlFE.—Yester day morning a most disastrous explosion happened at the pnvate residence of Mr. (lambert, No. G 2, Avenue-road, St. John's-wood. One life was loot and three persons were injured, one of them seriously. The destruction of property was very great, and much of the loss is irrepa rable, inasmuch as rare works of art constitute a heavy proportion of it. For some days past certain preparations hail been going forward at the house for a fancy ball. which would have taken place this evening, and to which Mr. and Mrs. (lambert had bidden 300 guests. A tem porary ball-room was being constructed, and workmen had been employed to conduct the gas from the mains in the house to this new room. They had used for this pur pose mdiarnbber piping. and in all probability the burst ing of some portion of this tubing primarily caused the explosion. During the night of Tuesday a very copious escape of gas must have taken place in the lower part of the house. Yesterday morning, ate few minutes before 8 o'clock, a charwoman, employed to assist the ser vants, went into one of the rooms on the ground floor, and struck a lucifer. The chamber, which had been closed all ni;:ht,was at the time full of gas, which had been escaping into it, and a terrific explosion ensued. Such was its force, that a considerable portion of the back wall of the house was bloom down ; the reception rooms; the con servatory end the picture gallery were almost ruined, and a great number of most valuable pictures were quite destroyed. Three of the servants, besides the charwoman. were found to be injured. The family, who had not yet come downstairs, escaped with slight hurt. It was neces sary to remove the charwoman and one of the servants to the hospital, where the first-named has since died, and the other lies in a very precarious condition. The value of the Property destroyed is estimated to exceed 15,000/. DEATH FROM SWALLOWING A BEAN.—On Satur day an inquest was held at the New Inn, Hanbury, before W. S. P. Hughes, Esq.. coroner, on the body of a little child, named Fanny Fisher, aged seven years, daughter of Joseph Fisher, o f H an b ur y. Ab ou t a fortnight ago the deceased complained to her mother that she had swallowed a bean, and, as she breathed with difficulty, Mr. Harrison, of Droitwich, was fetches!, but he thought she was suffer ing from a severe cold. The child, however, got worse, and diet on Thursday. Mr. H. Curtler, surgeon, of Droitwich, tusk a post mortem examination, and found the bean in the windpipe, and he gave it as his opinion that it had caused suffocation. The jury returned a verdict to that effect. —Worn:kr Chronicle. AN INPATIENT PASSZNGER.—On Tuesday even ing, as the boat from New Holland, due at &30, was on herllautage to Hull, one of about a dozen fine bullocks on her fore deck became tired of the voyage, and as the vessel was well inshore on this side of the river, the animal gave a clean bolt over the bulwarks, and at once struck oat for the shore. The captain witnessed the occurrence, and he at once gave orders for the engines to be stopped. Thu was promptly done, or tho consequences might have been fatal to the venturesome animal. The tide being well Op he easily effected a landing on the new dock works, and shortly afterwards waa restored to the herd.—Eastern Cossfies Efe-mid. BEER -SHOP SMNS.—A correspondent writes : "At Alillbrook, in Rants, a new beer-shop has just been opened with the unusual sign of the Oliver Ormwell. Thls +mean to he in oppositton to the King's Head. The Email, the Garibaldi, and the Richard Cobden, are frequent beer-shop signs in the south of England. It is sauce that opposition beer-shops do not oftener select apposition signs, such as the George the Fourth, and the Queen Caroline, the King John, and the King Richard. If there had been beer-shops 70 years av,o, two capital apposition signs would have been the W. Pitt, and the C. Fox. At the present time good opposition signs would be the W. E. Gladstone and the B. Disraeli, the J. Bright, and the R. Lowe. Perhaps, however, the better sign would ensure the landlord being soon la the Gazette if he depended for custom upon working men. If there were beer-shops in France. where the men are wittier and the government more absurd than is the case in England, there would sure to b., the apposition signs of the Julius Caesnr and the Pompey the Creak and the landlords who set up the latter sign would is surely receive warnings from a minister of state for konouring Pompey, the great rival of the Emperor's his ler.c idol, Caner. Beer-shops have often the signs of the Cordwainers' Arms, the Bricklayers' Anne, ke. ; but the mast absurd s i gn o f thi s d escr i pt i on was seen in Dorset- Aare a short time since, and which was the Agricultural labourers' Arms. If this coat of arms had been pictorially rePresented, according to the laws of heraldry, it could m l 7 have done by a miserable cottage, a don children's months, and half a loaf of bread." Last year's performances pointed most distinctly to Re- pulse, Ischia, and Elfeta being the pick of the above ; and next to them came Hone).noon, Tormentor, Proserpine, and Gretna ; but there are rumours abroad of Wild Briar being superior to Honeymoon, and of Gretna being a very doubtful starter ; and as Ischia proved the other day to have lost her form, whilst Elfeta was amiss very recently, if she is not now, there are only the unkown school to jeopardise the pretensions of Repulse, Tormentor, Proserpine, and Wild Briar. Of that body, the Queen (in the same hands as Regalia was when she won the Oaks) was whispered a " good thing" until the other day, when the whisper turned round and said she was not ; and reports are rife of La Dauphine (who knows the way, but has not the will, to win) and Aetna having improved immensely, which must be true for either to be successfnl—Actsia's being only about the same form as Castanet. In fact, I cannot but think , ne ye ass aintssiels bee husband in-the High-eine. of Teak ing Let night, Inoking at the people returning from the DerbY• • Several winnow were called, and roved that as the ,emr paced in a four-hone carnage he threw the tle, which struck the female. Her head was cut open, s ad she did not recover her senses until the morning. The husband proved that she was too ill to appear. The prisoner denied having thrown the bottle at the par- Ocular time, but admitted having previously thrown away some empty bottles on the road side. The master, an underwriter at Lloyd's, was called and proved that the prisoner vas sober. He (the master) did s et see the bottle thrown. Kr. Ingham said he bad no doubt the prisoner threw the wal e . Unfortunately there was a ueat deal of thought less kind of conduces on these Derby - days. He did not be lieve the prisoner intended to do her any mischief. The master expressed willingness to pay the doctor's bill l ad expenses, and to be bound for his servant's appearance on Wednesday next to sae how the female progreseed. PROVINCIAL RANK OF IRELAND. (THIS DAY.) The annual meeting of the proprietors was held at noon, at the (Aloes, 42, Old Broad-street ; Sir Marro FLRQUKAR, M.P., in the chair. The retiring directors having been re-elected, and Mr. H. R. Ferrer having been chosen to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Mr. Oliver Ferrer, and Mr. Richard Hoare to fill that caused by the resignation of Mr. James Ferrer, The Swarraav read the report. It referred to the out break of rinderpeet as an unfavourable feature in Ireland. Agriculture and commerce generally were, it stated, in • satisfactory position, and the count 7 had recovered to • great extent from the poli tical causes of disturbance. The directors regretted that the net profits were not equal to those of the two previous years, owing partly to the lower rate of interest which had been received by the bank, but chiefly to the larger amount of interest paid on deposits. The amount of net profits for the year was 104.3911. 15e, 6d., making the rest or amount of pndivided profits, 2:12,96W. ; and the board would be enabled to pay in July next the lame rate of dividend as hereto fore, making the dividend for the year 21. 10e. on each 100/. share, and M. on each 101. share, this being at the rate of 20 per cent. per annum. The CHLIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, congratulated the proprietors that, notwithstanding the adverse circumstances of the times, the bank never had been in a sounder or better position than it was at that moment. The business of the past year was good, and, though the net profits were not equal to those of the two previous years, that arose almost entirely from the payment of an increased rate of interest on deposits. He was happy to say that that tank had not suffered in the recent panic, and that the directors did not anticipate any loss. He was happy to say that a letter received that morning from the manager at Belfast, contained the following words The rinder pest is not spreading ; no new case has been re ." After some discussion the report was ado , and the meeting terminated in the usual manner. THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY. EVENING, MAY 17, 1866. LATEST SPORTING INTELLIGENCE ANTICIPATIONS OF THE OAKS. TO TIM ZDITOE OP TRI EXPIZBB. SIB,—All is quiet and calm again on the famed Rpm= Downs, the victory of Lord Lyon being so generally expected that the enthusiasm it created was soon over ; but there is yet another great event to be decided before the revels are brought to a conclusion, and deferring all comments upon the Derby and other matters tbat may require reviewing until Mon day next I shall endeavour to show your readers how things 'tend as regard the Oaks. That it is a very open race is everywhere admitted, the fillies being so moderate this year, compared with the colts, that the idea is " any thing may win." However, if the favourites are not clippers, the outsiders, so far as they can be judged from their doings in public, are very moderate indeed ; and I do not doubt that the talent will bit the mark in two or three attempts when the competitors are paraded in front of the Stand, as there are few signs of a second Regalia being among the following probable starters : =DIV( DT EIDDIS BY ~~ .... ~..

THE GREAT METROPOLITAN HORSE SHOW.—The arrangements for the opening of the Great Metropolit n Horse Show on Saturday are nearly perfected. The show will comprise over 300 specimens of the finest horses of various breeds and sizes, of which 100 are hunters from the most famous studs in the kingdom. In anti cipation of a visit from the Prince and Princess of Wales, ac companied in all probability by the Duke and Princess Mary of Cambridge, Prince Teck, and other royal and distinguished personages, a special gallery has been con structed, and a new feature at the WI is the erection of spacious galleries round the grand central area or ring, which will afford accommodation to hundreds of ladies, who will thus have an opportunity of witnessing in com fort the steeplechasing and jumping of the hunters, and performances of the trotters, &c. The judging for the award of prizes is to commence on Saturday morning at 10 o'clock. The aggregate amount of the prizes to be awarded reaches nearly 1,0001., the highest, for the best thoroughbred in the show, being 100/., and the Agricul tural Hall cup of the value of 251. On Monday, for the amusement of the holiday folks, in addition to the jump ing of the hunters, there are to be a series of trotting matches for prizes in the arena 10 times round, which has been marked as a measured mile. THE LATE MR. JOSEPH PABESS.—A monument with the following inscription has been placed over the remains of the late Mr. Parkes at Hastings :—" This stone is erected as a memorial of the useful and honourable life ' of Joseph Parkes, born at Warwick, Jan. 22, 1796, died in London, August 11, 1E65. He was earnest, truthful, wise; so he won the confidence of powerful men, and his name will stand on the list of British worthies who promoted the great measures for the reform of parliament, the reform of the municipalities of England, the reform of charitable foundations, the reform of the Court of Chancery. These were his chief public services. How kindly and generous he was in private life, how dear to many friends, how deep the sorrow for his death, can only be known by thosewho Lave caused this stone to be erected as a lasting memorial of their own grief and his great worth." THE STOPPAGE OP THE ENGLISH JOINT STOCK Rum—At the Sheriffs' Court, Red Lion-square, an in quisition at the instance of the crown was opened against the English Joint Stock Bank before Mr. Under-Sheriff Bluebell, on Tuesday. The bank had canted on business at London, Nottingham. and other places, and a collector of the asse ssed, buid, and inoome taxes at Castle Ward had deposited his collections at the Nottingham branch, and when the bank stopped payment his deposits belonging to the crown amounted to 821. 6s. 6d. The object of the present proceeding was to recare the money. Evidence was given that Mr. Parr, one of the collectors, had depo sited the money as stated, which belonged to her Majesty, and the money Iwas deposited when payment was stopped at the bank. Mr. Under-Sheriff Burchell explained tho law on the subject to the jury—they were hastily got together to protect the money for the crown ; and they gave a verdict in accordance with the evidence adduced.

MONEY MARKET. -(THIS DAY.) Owx o'CLocx. The somewhat more favourable tendency of the money market, and the announcement in a contemporary that Prussia and Italy have ac cepted a proposal for a conference put forward by France, have imparted firmness to some securi ties in the StockrExchange. The funds exhibit a fresh rise of to I per cent., further considerable bond fide purchases having been effected on account of the public. As regards foreign stocks, the principal feature is an , important advance in Italian of 1861. British railways are likewise better in a few cases, but financial and discount shares remain dull, at yesterday's fall, with the exception of Cridit Foncier and fhlobilier, which have experienced a further improvement of 17s. 6d. The tendency of the discount market is rather better to-day, and the supply of money seeking employment has increased. The rate for the best short dated paper, however, is 11 per cent., or 1 per cent. above the minimum at the Bank of England. The directors of the Bank of England have not made any change to-day in their minimum rate of discount. Consols are now quoted 86i to 81, with div., for money, and 84 to 86, ex div., for the account (June 6). ORDLIABY MARRS AND STOCKS. 100 100 100 100 7 8 25 all I Do.

Some of the present quotations are as follows :-5-20 Bonds, 651, to 66; Erie Railway shares, 45 to 46 ; and Illinois Central, 77 to 78.

It is necessary to warn such of the public as are interested in joint stock companies, that during the present crisis a disreputable prac tice, previously too rife, has acquired an ex traordinary development. There is an organ ised band of speculators " for a fall," partly within and partly outside of the Stock Exchange, who every now and then make a dead set against —or, in Stock Exchange parlance, " bang"—the shares of some particular company. The mode of proceeding is very simple : a large number of these operators, acting no doubt in concert, make simul taneously sales of the shares of a company, perhaps the International Financial, or the General Credit, or the Credit Fonder sad Mobilier, or tho Im perial Mercantile, or Overend, Gurney, and Co., or the Alliance Bank—it matters not what concern is selected, so long as there is a prospect that the simultaneous offer of shares in large numbers by several brokers will seriously depress the price, and this is easily accomplished in the present anxious state of the public mind. That the price should fall is natural, for there is a combination of sellers and no opposing combination of buyers. Very likely the sellers do not possess a single share ; but that makes no difference, as the dealers do not know but that the sales may be I, 4 , itti fide, and they, therefore, in self-defence, put down the price. In some, though, we hope, rare instances dealers have themselves been parties to adverse combinations of this nature. The sole object of the speculators is, of course, to get a profit by buying back at a re_ duced price. The worst feature of the practice is, that all sorts of demoralising and unscrupulous de vices are resorted to to aggravate the fall, such as rumours of impending calls, or of losses, or—if the company attacked be a bank—of a "run " for de posits. It is beyond question that several important companies have lately linen destroyed by these means, and it is necess-ry, therefore, that the public should be warned against attaching too much importance to sudden movements in the Stock Ex change, which are frequently no index whatever to the real position or merits of a company. About 86,0001. in bar g. dd was withdrawn from the Bank yesterday for exportation, but 20,000 sovereigns from Alexandria were sea . .. in. The steamer City of London has brought 64,0001. in specie from New York, and the Allemania, 11,0001. The steamer Shannon, for the West Indies, will take to-day only 5,0(01. in specie (silver). The hiddings for bills on India took place yester day at the I.3=k of England. The proportions allotted were :—To Madras, 50,200 rupees, and to Bombay, 10.30,000 rupees. The minimum price was as before, viz., Is. 11;d. on Calcutta and Madras, and Is. Iltd. on Bombay, and all tenders at and above the minimum will receive in full. These results show a further decided diminution in the demand for the means of remittance to India, in conse quence of which government have apparently failed to sell more than about ouc-third of the amount of bills offered on the present occasion. • " It is understood that during the recent crisis a very large number of new accounts, in most cases transferred from less accredited establishments, were opened at the Bank of England and the other great and old-established banks of the metropolis. Following the return on Tuesday of their drafts by their London bankers, the Commercial Bank Corporation of India and the East have issued a circular, announcing a suspension of payments, and convening a meeting of the shareholders for the 23rd inst., " to consider and determine as to the hest means of winding up the company." Messrs. R. Strong and John Ball (of Quilter, Ball, and Co.) appended the following report to the balance sheet of this undertaking, audited by them, ex tending to the 30th December, 1865, and issued to the shareholders last month : We have examined the balance-sheet and profit and loss account for the year ending December 30, lfifis, and find the same to be accurately stated according to the books of the company in London, and to the accounts received from the several branches abroad. The item of balances due by branches, 854,1571. 3a 111. is stated, subject to the ad justment of outstanding balances on accounts subsisting between certain of the branches with the head office and with other branches respective!y ; subject to such adjust ment and to the sufficiency of the estimate of 375,0001., written off to cover losses, we find the accounts now sub mitted to be correct. We desire to add that such estimate is based upon detailed calculation so far as the requisite data haven available, and upon estimates received from the branches.—London, April 12, 1t66. ' • Messrs. Hallett, Ommanney, and Co., tho private bankers and navy agents, have issued the following circular • • 14, Great George-atrect, Westminster, May 16. We are moat happy to inform yon that arrangements are in Progress with the London Joint-Stook Bank, by which it is intended that the business heretofore carried on by us will forthwith bo conducted as a branch of that establishment at our present offices. With a view to the convenience of the creditors, and to obviate the conse quences of delay in realising the assets, a sum equal to 10s. in the pound will, with the assent of the creditors, be advanced by the bank, and placed to their credit in I account, the bank receiving the dividends payable on the respective claims, so far as may be requisite for the liqui dation of such advance, and the surplus arising from our estate to be paid to the creditors, when resins& Upon this arrangement being carried out, our Mr. James A.
