A meeting of laymen of the City of London was held this afternoon at the City Terminus Hotel, Cannon street, according to the terms of the notice, "in support of the united church of England and Ireland, and in mainteu•nce of our protestant constitution in church and state." At 1 o'clock, the hour fixed for the commencement of the proceedings, the great hall of the hotel in which the meeting took place, was by no means crowded, though there were some hundreds present. Admission was by ticket, and there appeared to be • careful examination at the door. The chair was taken, at 1 o'clock, by the LORD MATOR. Among those present were Viscount Crichton, Mr. Peter Bolt, Mr. E. C. Freshseld, M.P., Sir R. W. Carden, Mr. Bromley- Moore, Mr. It. N. Fowler, Mr. Philip Cnzenove, Mr. T. Cazenove, Mr. A. Beattie, Mr. J. Braithwaite, Alderman Sir William Rose, Alderman Hale, Sir W. Baynes, Mr. Baggallay, and Mr. H. J. tiiffard, Q.C. The proceedings were opened with a prayer bearing upon the connection between church and state. The Loin) MAYOR expressed the pleasure which be felt at finding himself supported by so many leading com mercial representatives of that great city. (Cheers.) It was the duty of all Englishmen to support the protestant monarchy of this country—(foad cheers)—and he believed even the beads of the Ron.an catholic church were not opposed to the course they were pursuing ; for in supporting the protestant church of Ire land they were in some measure enabling them to carry on their own work. (Cheers.) Sir W. Barmen moved the following resolution :—" Th►t this meeting, believing the highest duty of a state to be ` the maintenance of true religion and virtue,' is of opinion that our present constitution of church ►nd state ought to be upheld, as affording the best means for the promotion of Christianity amongst the people, and as important alike for the welfare of the state and for the efficiency of the church." He said that great lay demonstrations would prove that the laity were not indifferent to the question. The meet ing was held for no mere political purpose. In the move ment for the disestablishment of the Irish church, made for the moment for party purpoees— (cheers)—an attack was being made on the connection between church and state. (Cheers.) They were there to contend for the maintenance of that, which was one of the safeguards of the protestant faith. He hoped that even yet those who had commenced the movement against the Irish church would be led by their consciences to retrace their steps. Let the constitution in church and state be destroyed, and the ma&tenance of true religion and virtue would perish in this land. (Cheers.) Alderman Sir Wm. Rome seconded the resolution, intro ducing himself to the meeting as the governor of the Irish Society—(Cheer,)—which he said bad conferred great benefits on Ireland, though an effort bad been made to destroy it. He was Isatounded at the effrontery of public men, who, having protested for years against any interference with the Irish church, now proposed its aboli tion. Urns said that that church was an anomaly. Was not life full of anomalies, and were they because of an anomaly to make a bad law (Hear, hear, and cheers.) He found all that tended to prosperity in the north of Ireland, and all that tended in the opposite direction in the south. (Loud cheers.) They most protest against that priestly influence which sought to secure not toleration, but pre dominance, for the Roman catholic religion. Advert. ing to the present position of the government, he said there had never been a more successful government in modern times, whether in war or in other matters of public interest. (Great cheering.) He ►ccused the priests of being connected with the recent Fenian events at Man chester and in Clerkenwell. (Cheers.) As a nation we had been released from the control of the papacy, and now it was sought to place us under it again. Laymen must grapple with this difficulty to the direst ex. tremity, and he had no doubt they would conquer. (Loud cheers.) Mr. H. GIFFARD, Q.C., in supporting the resolution, quoted a work published, as be said, by Mr. W. E. Gladstone—(loud and prolonged hisses)—some years ago, which he contended was in favour of the object of the meeting. He denied that the agitation for the disestablishment of the Irish church originated with Roman mitholics, and quoted from a speech of the Roman catholic Bishop of Meath in 1865 to the effect that any agitation for that purpose was carried for party ob jects. The worst faction fight■ from which Ireland had suffered were those in St. Stephen's. (Cheers.) In order to cure the religious evils of Ireland, the lamp of the Reformation was to be pat out ie every parish in Ireland; in order to cure absenteeism one resident gentleman was to be driven out of every parish ; and in order to make Ireland happy the most loyal portion of the nation was to be made discontented. (Cheers.) Alderman HALE, in supporting the resolution, de nounced the conduct of Mr. Gladstone as disgraceful and designed for the selfish purpose of enabling him to return to office. (Loud cheery.) When the question was being put, a gentleman, who laid he was a citizen of London, asked permission of the chairman to move an amendment, but he was imme diately met by erica of "Turn him out," while a few voices cried " Hear, hear." The chairman proceeded to put the resolution, and declared it to be car ried. There were apparently only • few dissentients. When the chairman called upon the mover of the second resolution to rise another gentleman in the back part of the meeting attempted to speak, but he also was assailed by cries of "Turn him out," and he was quickly ejected amidst tumultuous cheering. Mr. P. Cazzzovz then moved the following :—" That while this meeting is fully prepared to concur in such re forms as may be desirable to promote the efficiency of the Irish breach of the united church of England and Ireland, it believes that the disestablishment and dis endowment proposed would be a serious blow to the pro testant constitution of this kingdom, and would materially affect the supremacy of the crown, without securing good. will and harmony in the sister country." [The wetting wits proceeding when our report left.] DRAMA. MR. PAUL BEDFORD'S FAREWELL BENEFIT. The curtain has at last fallen on en old actor who has amused two generations of playgoers, and who has probably enjoyed more personal popularity in his time than almost any living member of the theatrical proles. lion. There is something odd in the fact that one of the oldest living actors should take his farewell benefit in one of the newest of the London theatres, but the enormous seating capacity of the new Queen's in Long-acre--a seat ing capacity that exceeds that of any theatre in London with the exception of the Standard and Drury-lane, hilly justified the choice of the committee. Mr. Paul Bedford's farewell benefit at the Queen's on Saturday—though in come degree n repetition of the ceremony which took place on the 2nd of February, 1865, at Drury-lane Theatre, was a great and gratifying sumer. It proved (if such • thing requires proof) the cohesive power of the theatrical profession, and the steadfast friendship of the public for • popular favourite. Mr. Paul Bedford may not have re presented the highest walks of dramatic art, but he tho. roughly amused his public, and was one of the main props of that theatrical institution—the Adelphi drama. He began life as an opera-singer, which made him useful in vaudevilles and burlesques, and had a certain original personal humour which no one has ventured to copy. The performance of Saturday afternoon was necessarily made up of dramatic scraps, to give the companies of the various London theatres an opportunity of testifying their respect for an old companion. This respect wee testified in various ways by the principal actors and actresses from the Surrey, New Royalty, the Adelphi, the Queen's, and the Frio:* of Wales's, with the addition of Mrs. Stirling, Miss Herbert, Mr. Barry Sullivan, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Matthews, Mr. Arthur Stirling, and others. Miss Glyn was to have appeared, but was unhappily prevented by • domestic bereavement ; Mr. Bentley came too late, owing to a mistake in his instructions ; end Mr. Sothem and Mr. Backstops tried to amuse the ■udienee as representatives of the Haymarket company by a half serious performance of part of the third act of Shakespeare's Othello. The audience, as many ex pected, were not very patient with this well-intentioned outrage on the national poet, and both actors bad to make apologies and shelter themselves behind the oonveeiens cloak of ch►rity. The last scene was a gathering of some of Mr. Paul Bedford's private and professional friends on the stage, in which Mrs. Keeley stood prominent, Mr. .E FaXi :"Wl4 !7. 419N.PAY 1 1 .

William Stewart, aged 18, described as a labourer, re- siding at the Grams-market, lldinburgb, was charged with attempting to travel on the Great Northern Railway in a second clan carriage without paying his fare, with intent to defraud, at the parish of St. P►ncras. Mr. Kilson, of the company's police, attended to watch the case. On Saturday night the defendant was seen loitering about the platform, and being suspected he was watched. He was seen to get through the window of a ...mud-class carriage attached to the Scotch train, and when he was asked how he got there he said it was all right, and that he had got a ticket to travel to Edinburgh. When asked to show it he said he had not got one, and was then taken out of the carriage and given into custody. As attempts of this sort were of frequent occurrence the compan♦ had determined to prosecute in every case that was brought under their notice. . . The defendant sAid that he wee a stranger in town, and as this was his first offence he hoped the nisgistrate would look over it. Mr. Cooke said that the ease was fully made out, and ordered the defendant to pay a penalty of 401., or in de fault to be imprisoned in the House of Correction for 21 The defendant was locked up in default, he stating that he had not a farthing to bless himself with. DIA RLBOROUG H-STREET. NILF UL DAMAGE IN HYDE PARE. A woman named Mary Ferrel mu fined 10s., or seven dap,' imprisonment, for wilfully damaging flowers in Hyde park and Kensington Gardens.

Two boys, named Thomas Ball and Charles Page, were fined se. each for a similar offence. SOUTHWARK. BRARTLEBB ROBBERY BY • BITTING MAN. Samuel Robson. 44, described in the charge-sheet as abet ting MRll,Wall placed at the barbefore Mr. Burcham,charged with stealing a gold 0 watch from the parson of Elizabeth Edwards, under the following disgraceful cir cumstanced : Mr. H. Allen, the prosecuting officer of the Associate Institute for Enforcing the Law for the Protection of Women, watched the case on behalf of the society. The proeeentrix, a well-dressed young girl, of the clam called unfortunate, said that on Thursday afternoon, the let last , she met the prisoner near the Elephant and Cistle, when be told her he was • country gentleman just arrived in London, and asked her to take refreshment with him. She consented, and they walked about the Kent and Wal worth roads, visiting several public-houses, where he .plied her with all sorts of drink, which she foolishly partook of. About 6 o'clock in the evening he accompanied her to • friend's house in Union-stmt, St. George's-road, where she felt • little overcome with what she had drunk. She, however, had her watch in a pocket in front of her dress, att ached to • metal chain. as on entering the house she took it out to see what time it was. Soon after they bad entered a room he closed the door and rushing upon her snatched the watch from her and bolted out of the house with it. She was so surprised at the suddenness of the attack that for • minute or so she was unable to follow him or call out, but as soon as she recovered he had made his escape, and she saw nothing more of him until Satur day when she saw him in custody at the police station and at once identified him. _ _ The prisoner at first pleaded not guilty, but when told that be must go for trial he admitted having committed the robbery, but he 'shoed to say what he did with the watch. Mr. Benham told him that the estimate be had formed of the girl's testimony had proved to be correct. Although unfortunate, the evidence of such persons was not to be disbelieved, especially when given with such clearness and artlessness. It was a heartless and disgraceful rob bery, and he should not be doing his duty unless he punished Mm with the utmost severity of the law. He scnteuced him accordingly to six months' bard labour. THE OUTRAGE IN THE CITY. MANSION-HOUSE.—(THIS DAY.) The two boys, Arthur Forrester Smith, aged 14, and Hector Augustus Smith, aged 12, whu are charged with feloniously wounding Mary Anne Nunn, with a mal let, with intent to sander her, were this morning brought before the Lord Mayor for further examination. The prisoners, it will be remembered, are also charged with having committed a robbery upon the premises in Catherine-court, Seething-lane, where the prosecutrix was employed u ousekeeper at the time the ontvase was committed upon her. The prisoners exhibited perfect indliference, and they whispered together quite unreservedly, when they were placed at this bar. Inspector Tillcock reported to the Lord Mayor that the prosecutrix was going on favourably, and was expected to recover from the fearful injuries that were inflicted upon lier„by the prisoners. It is not expected, however, that she will be able to attend and give her evidence for some time. In answer to a question put by the Lord Mayor, Sergeant Moss the detective o ffi cer, said that he had a witness in attendance from whom the prisoners bad pur chased the pistol they bad in their possession at the time the attack was made upon the proseeutnx. The Lord Mayor said be thought it would not be advisable to go further into the inquiry at presert, and !be better course would be to remand the prisoners for another week. The prisoners, who did not say a word, were accordingly remanded. It is possible that the prosecutrix will be sufficiently re covered to atteni and give her evidence at the next exami nation.

Owing to the fineness of the weather and the steady influx of gold to the Bank, the stock markets are decidedly firmer to-jay, and prices have improved in many ewes. Consols are in good demand, and have risen 11 to per cent. The purchase' are chiefly speculative, to cover recent sales for • fall, but'an increased number of bona fide transactions are rep irted. Railway stocks have improved Ato per cent., and foreign Bonds 11. Italian of 1861 have advanced per cent. in response to a similar movement upon the Paris Bourse. The inquiry extends to Ameri can securities. Exchequer Bills, however, exhi bit a fresh reduction. The demand for money is very moderate, and the best bills are taken at li per cent., or i below the Bank minimum. Consols are quoted 944, with div., for money, and 93* to j, ex div., for the account (June 4), and the Three per Cents. Reduced and New Three per Cents., 934 to j. In the railway market, London and North Western, Midland, Brighton, South Eastern. Me tropolitan, and Lancashire and Yorkshire stocks have risen k to j per cent., while London, Chatham, and Dover and Great Western have declined 4 to 4. The latter was in request this morning, and was dealt in at 54, but has since relapsed. The present prices are as fol low :—Caledonian, 74$ top ; London and North- Western, 1154 to 2 ; Great Western, 534 Ito 9 ; Midland, 1071 to $ ; London and South Western, 90 to 22 ; Great Eastern, 33; to 34/ ; Brighton, 534 to 54 ; South Eastern, 76 to 4 ; Metropolitan, 1124 to ; Great Northern, 102 to 103 ; ditto A, 961 to 97/ ; Lon don, Chatham, and Dover, 184 to 9 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 1274 to 128 j ; York and North Midland, 944 to 4 ; Berwick, 1024 to 1031 ; and North British, 339 to 34.

Italian bonds of 1861 are quoted 494 to 0, showing a rise of 4 per cent. ; Peruvian of 1865, 82; to 834, being j better ; Turkish of 1858, 60 to 61—an advance of 9 ; ditto of 1862, 62 to 63, an improvement of 9 ; ditto of 1865, 344 to 35, a rise ofd ; Brazilian of 1865, 754 to 76/ ; Chilian of 1867, 959 to 96 ; Egyptian of 1864, 81 to 82 ; Mexican, 151 to ; ; Russian of 1866, 869 to 87 ; and Spanish of 1867, 354 to 4. The Indian Five per Cent, stock is inquired for, at 116 to 4, but the Four has declined 4 per cent., the present price being 1024 to 4. The Bonds are at 15s. to 203. prem. ; and the Five per Cent.

The English funds are still inquired for, and have advanced 1-16 per cent. for money since 1 o'clock, viz., to 941 to 4. The price for the ac count remains firm, at 93# to 4. In the railway market, the principal change is arise of # per cent. in South Eastern Stock, the present price being 7q to 1. Caledonian, Great Western, and Brighton are to # better. As regards foreign bonds, Italian of 1861 have improved #, while Turkish of 1865 have declined to the like extent. United Mates Five-Twenty Bonds are # higher. FOUR O'CLOCK. Consols remain firm, at 94,? to f, with div., for money, and 93/ to 1, ex div., for the account. Some of the railway stocks are again better. Caledonian, 74/ to 75/ ; Metropolitan, 112} to 2 ; Brighton, 53/ to 54/ ; Ssuth Eastern, 761 to 77 ; Midland, 1071 to ; London and North Western, 114 to 1 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 1271 to 128/ ; and Great Western, 53/ to 541.

About 71,0001. in bar gold his been sent into the Bank. At Paris to-day the Three per Cent. Rented' opened at 69fr. 60c. fur the account, showing no change of importance. Though the rise in foreign stocks seems to have been checked through the evidence afforded at the recent settlement that the speculative account is overbought, the reaction is not important, espe cially as regards the more solid stocks. There is a steady absorption of Russian stocks for investment, notwithstanding the recent issues of the bonds of the Orel-Vitebsk and Ricolai Railways. The last named still present a margin of 6 per cent. as com pared with the Anglo-Dutch loans, but this dis crepancy is explained by the recent date and largo amount of issue, while, on the other hand, the Anglo-Dutch have long been absorbed by in vestors. Peruvian bonds are in steady demand owing to the near approach of the half-yearly divi dend, and the unusually large amonnt(2B9ooo/.) to be " drawn " on the Ist July. The sinking fund will then have extinguished nearly one-fifth of the loan in three years. Chilian shows little reaction from the highest prices —the dividends on the Seven per Cent. Bonds and the Six per Cents. of 1867 being both payable in July. Italian is without feature, operations being greatly restricted pending the passage of further financial measures in the Chambers. Spanish New Three per Cents. are also in abeyance, pending the decision of the Stock Exchange Committee as to their admission to the official list. Austrian are little dealt in, but, notwithstanding the flagrant proposal of the finance committee to impose an income-tax of 25 per cent. on the State obligations, an impression prevails in some quarters that following the worthy example of the Italian government, who amid their great financial distress are strug gling to preserve intact their engagements to the foreign creditor, the Reichsrath will respect obli gations which are clearly understood if not expli citly de fi ned. The amount of bar gold sent into the Bank on Saturday was 76,000/. The steamer Atrato, which will leave to-day for the West Indies, will take only 8251. in specie.

A general meeting of the Buenos Ayres Great Southern Railway Company (Limited) is convened for the 29th inst., but the _proceedings will be simply pro forma, and will be adjourned to the 12th of June, " owing to the late period at which the accounts from Buenos Ayres have been received in Englau.d, the delay in rendering which was caused mainly by the outbreak of cholera."

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS MARK -L AN E. —(THIS DAY. ) There was only a moderate supply of English wheat on sale to-dsy. the condition of which was generally good. The long-continued fine weather sod toe eucuunqpng appearance of the growing crops have had their usual depressing influence in the wain trade, and the market was of quite a nlminal character ; scarcely any business was transacted in home•grown wheat and at the close the hulk of the samples was undisposed of. To have effected any consideiable sale a reduction of 2s. to :is. per qr. must have been submitted to. For foreign wheat—the supply of which was extensive-- there was a very limited inquiry, and prioes were nominally Is. to 2e. per quarter lower. Barley was very firm in price for all descriptions, owing to the smallness of the supply on sale. The malt trade was very quiet, nevertheless the quota tions remain without . There was a good sli c o h w ai iir oats, and sound corn changed bands freely on fully former terms. Beans met a dull inquiry , at late rate.. Peas sold slowly, at unaltered quotations. Linseed, owing to excessive importation, was very dull. There was no animation apparent in the demand for rape. seed. All English seeds were inactive. The flour trade was very quiet, but no change took pats in the quotations for either town or country marks. The floating grain cargo trade has ruled extremely in active, and the quotations have had &downward tendency. The arrivals of wheat hare been rather extensive, and much in excess of the demand. Prices have, there fore, given way ls. to 2s. fur superior, and 2s. to 3s. for inferior qualities. In cargoes on pas sage • few transactions only have taken place at reduced values.

Maize has ruled dull, but no further reduction has taken place in the quotations. Mixed American has sold at 395. per 48011 e. Rye remains nominally unchanged, no transactions having been as. ported. In beans and peas we have nothing of interest to notice. Linseed and rapeseed on passage have ruled very inactive, with a drooping tendency in prices.
