The prisoner was observed by Mrs. Ie ~ • t .) harwommi employed in the chapel, to go ,o so several I sse.boxel and put in something and draw it out !wain, NIA directly after she liesnl the chink of money in his hand. She went at once to the Rev. Dr. Gilbert, who, with the Rev. Dr. T. Cahill, hastened to the spot by different doors. Tire prisoner escaped Mr. Cahill, but Dr. Gilbert pursued him, habited as he was in clerical vestments, owl after a sharp chase caught him. His hat was picked up opposite the chapel, and in it was found a piece of thin iron hooping with an adhesive composition like birdlime on it. In the prisoner's pockets were found a number of half pence and some silver with the same kind of composition .m them, and also a tin box nearly full of the composition. 1 in examining the boxes they were all of them found to be daubed on the inside with the composition. Inspector Harding also noticed that some of the coppers in the boxes had the composition in a stale state uron them, while on tiers it was fresh. The prisoner was remanded for inquiries to be made abut him. Charles Noakes, 84 B, said that he was present at the lerkenwell sessions on the 11th of November, 18W, when the prisoner was found guilty of a similar offence at the 1:0111411 Catholic chapel in Spanish-place, and sentenced to Is months imprisonment with hard labour. The prisoner having been cautioned, said that a half .overeign and some silver which were found on him were sot taken from the boxes. Hu had only taken three half - pence. Alderman Abbiss said then his conduct wss still worse than he thought it, for with half•a-sovereimi and mine cheer in his pocket he robbed the poor of what the chari table had given for their benefit. The prisoner was then fully committed for trial. BOW-STRIST. CHARGK or BIGAIIT. Edward Martindale, aged 29, a cabinet maker, residing a t 5, Marl•place, Dartford, in Kent, was placed at the bar .41 the charge of unit's/telly intermarrying with Maria Dorset, at the parish of St. Martin.in-the-1. adds, his wife being still alive. -- William Dorset, Church-street, Epsom, said—On the of March, Ida, the defendant was married t.. my daughter, Maria Dorset, at St. Martin's Church, Trafalgar-square. She was then 22 years o f age. The certificate of the marriage produced I obtained from her. Since my daughters union with the defendant they have been living at Dartmouth. In formation received lately from some of the defendant's friends caused me to entertain a suspicion that he was :dn,oly a warded man previous to his marriage with my diughter. I wrote down to York, end discovered that the defendant had a wife and ono child still living there. I immediately proceeded to Dartmouth and accused the defendant of bigamy. He first of all de nied it, then afterwards acknowledged it was true. but that the former marriage was not kial, his wife having signed her name incorrectly on the certific'i•e. He also informed me be was married to her on the 14th of August, 1859. He voluntarily came up with me to London, and I made my charge at Scotland. y.11...1, and they sent me here. Mr. Vaughan —But why did you not give him into (mutely down there, . . \Vitiates continued—l did, sir, but the police. constable said that it woo out of their district, and he thought it would be better if I brought the case up to London, especially as the defendant was willing to accompany me to town. I may as well mention that I offered the prisoner the chance of escaping to France with his clothes and tools tf he would be silent about this unfor tunate affair. I further offered to pay his expenses over there. He first accepted the proposal but finally rejected it, saying that he wished to have the matter thoroughly inves tigated.. . •.. _ - Thedefendant here mid—lt is perfectly true that I have a wife and child in Yorkshire, and I gave Mr. Dorset every facility for discovering the same. My wife and I did not agree very well together, entirely through her mis behaviour. There was also a disease about at the time, and I had to go to Hastings fur fresh air, and she wrote to me saying that she did not intend to follow me. When I married her I was very young, she being six years older than I am. I had not discovered till lately that she had been keeping company with another man. She used to meet the postman every day in the streets, and take the letters from him. On the marriage certificate she signed her name Jane Ann Bagsley,. her real name b e i ng Jane Ragly . I considered the marriage illegal, and wish to have itlfinvestigated. Mr. Vaughan—You seem to think because you have been wronged by one wife that you must inflict a punish ment on another. Defendant —I told Miss Dorset all the circumstances of my first marriage. Mr. Vaughan—Well, is that so, Mr. Dorset! Witness—That I cannot tell, but I had heard nothing about it. lienr7 Dorset, a watchmaker, said—l am the son of the last witness. I was present and testified to the mar. nage of the defendant with my sister. I did not sec the clergyman give the certificate to any sister, but I went with the defendant and obtained it from the clerk. Mr. Vaughan— I shall remand the case, and on the next occasion witnesses must be present to prove to the first marriage, and Mr. Dorset's d aug ht er must also appear. The defendant—Will you take bail, your worship Mr. Vaughan —Yes ; 171 take your own recognisances in W., and two sureties in 251. each. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. PUNISHING ASSAULTS WITH IMPRISONMENT. James Savage. a young man described as a cabman, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with, while drunk, assault ing Mr. Francis Sayer, licensed victualler, No. 13, liens miag's-row, Leicester-square. Mr. Sayer said that last night, about 9 o'clock, the prisoner came into his house in a state of intoxication, and rushed upstairs into the mooed room and made use of very bad lan page and mused a great disturbance. He went I detain and remonstrated with the prisoner, and while getting him downstairs the prisoner struck him several times. He at last succeeded in getting the pri mmer into the street, having in the meantime sent for a <suitable, but the prisoner directly afterwards returned to the house, and soaking a rush at him struck him twice over the counter, and he then gave him into custody. Police -constable Eccleshall, 192 C, said that on being called to th e comp l a i nant ' s house he saw the prisoner strike him twice. The prisoner said he was very sorry. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he could not overlook theme violent smelts, and must send the prisoner for 14 days' hard labour without the option of paying a fine. STABBING ST A WIT. Crone Dandall, a boy 10 years of age, was charged with stabbiag another boy about the same age, named Henry I Moore, in the arm with a pocket knife, while in Berwick street, Soho. The evidence was not of a very satisfactory nature, the progenitor stating that the wound was purposely inflicted, while previously he had stated that it w.is accidentally done. Tyrwhitt remanded the boy. WORSHIP-STREET. FIRING A PISTOL IN THZ Snail% Wu. Day, 19, described as a labourer, living in Flu:mix. street, Bethnal-green, was charged on remand with firing a loaded pistol in the public streets and thoroughfares to the danger of passengers. Prisoner was brought before Mr. Newton, Cressy, 189 If , a week s i nce , w h en that constable de posed that while oa duty and passing beneath an arch of t he Great Eastern Railway he suddenly heard the report of fire-arms and felt, or fancied he felt, a slight tingling at the back of his neck, turning and runni ng b ac k, h e f oun d the primmer guiding with a pistol, recently fired, in has hand, subse quently some powder and small shot in his pocket. lie first stated, that being fresh from the country, be was not aware of having done wrong, as there were to houses under a railway arch, nor horses to be frightened, and afterwards declared that a stranger had given him the pistol and ammunition, but said nothing respecting the weapon being loaded ; what hail occurred was entirely an occident. He, of course, felt extremely sorry if be had occasioned any alarm. Mr. Newton again adverted in strong terms on the folly and stupidity of such an act nen beneath an arch, more particularly as prisoner —if, indeed, his statement of ignorance as to the pistol having powder in it was true, hail received it together with shot, as a gift. Cressy said he did not know the young ton, nor believe any injury was premeditated. Mr. Newton remanded the prisoner as stated, and the mutable, although having failed to gather further testi !noel affecting the case, coolly remarked that on the morn '; following the previous hearing of it he found, jug be atith the skin at the back of his neck a smell shot. It manifest, after some further remarks, that there had Sot e"^ any injury purposed, Mr. ltl HISS inflicted a fine of 405., or one month's ins. 11,oement in default. Prisons r was locked up. WANDSWORTH. NARROW EXCAPE. ritiorrior .4Peann, a married woman, living in Lock's- Ettls Walworth. was placed in the dock before Mr. on a charge of trespassing upon the London, aatham, and Dover Railway, and endangering her own ts.. and that of another person.

Her husband and ' children had gone on before her, and she went to run across the line, without thinking of what she was doing, when she slipped down. The porter said there was not any passage across the line for the public. lie did not see her fall down. Mr. Ingham fined her Id., with the alternative of two months' imprisonment. The prisoner was locked up in default. ATTEMIIII mm, ICIDEA BY WOMEN. _ _ A respectably &eased woman, named Emma Cattio, of George's-reed, Wimbledon, was charged with attempting to commit suicide by swallowing a quantity of laudanum. Wben taken into custody by Sergeant Gadd she said she was very sorry. Mr. Ingham remanded her. Mary Cahill, a married woman, living in Pawson's.road, Croydon, was also charged with attempting to drown her. self in the river off Wandsworth. Mr. Ingham ordered her to be remanded. THE FRIGHTFUL RAILWAY ACCIDENT NEAR WARRINGTON. WARRINGTON, MONDAT. Up to the present time the number of victims to the fearful accident which happened on Saturday at Walton Junction has reached seven, five of whom were either killed instantly by the collision or died before they could be removed from the scene of the disaster; one died yesterday, and the seventh at half-past five o'clock this morning. I A searching inquiry into all the circumstances which led up to the accident has been instituted by the managers of the London and North Western Railway Company, but nothing of importance has been elicited beyond the main facts already published. It is clear that the coal train was duly shunted to permit the passenger train to proceed, that the signal " all right " was given by the pointsman ; that the passenger train went on at full speed and that when it reached the junction points it found them open instead of being closed, and so followed and ran into the coal train before a break could be put on, or the steam shut off. The question as to how the points I were left open and with whom the blame rests is one which will doubtless be clearly answered at the coroner's inquest, and in the meanwhile John Lawson, the points man in charge at the junction, has been suspended, and re -1 mains is town awaiting the result of the inquiry. The number of passengers who received injuries of so serious a character as to require surgical aid is officially stated to be :ti. Of these one was sent at his own re quest to Bury-lane, five to Liverpool, four (one since dead) to the Patten Arms Hotel, Warring ton, and twenty-three to the Convalescent Hospi tal. This hospital is a wooden structure, built about twelve months ago, at a time when Waningten was seriously threatened with a visitation of cholera, and is admirably adapted for the use to which it has now been put. Here, under the presiding care of Mr. Spinks, sur dgeon, who has been most assiduous and nntiruig in his attention upon the wounded, lie at least a dozen men, who will bear about them throughout their lives painful fe -1 membrances of their journey on Saturday. Passing through the wards last evening, our correspondent saw one poor fellow (Mr. Thomas Jones, of Wolverhamp ton), who had been hurled against an arm of the carriage in which he rode with such violence that his bowels protruded, while from another blow he sustained a compound frac ture of the leg. He lay quietly on the bed with his hands clasped across his breast, and no one who looked at his uncomplaining face could have guessed how dreadful were the injuries from which he was suffering. The doctors and nurses agreed that they had never before attended so brave and patient a man. He made his will on Saturday evening, believing that he could nut live till the morning, but he lingered throughout Sunday and last night, dying shortly after sunrise this morning. Another man lay on a bed immediately opposite with nearly every semblance of humanity battered out of him. He was insen sible, and the doctor said he could not live long, but he is still alive at the present time of writing. Other cases of suffering, less dreadful only in comparison with these two, were being cared for in the same ward, and it was noticeable that there was no groan ing or complaining on the part of any of the men, who seemed tacitly to acknowledge that all that human skill could do for them was being attempted, and that it was their duty to acknowledge the kindness of those who tended them by manfully and silently bearing their pain. Among those who were killed on the spot is a young lady who has since been identified as Miss Adcock, and who was travelling from Liverpool to Wolverhampton. In "eer pocket was found a small diary, regularly written up from New Year ; the last entry she wrote was dated on the day preceding her death, and ran thus: "Oh, what a miserable day ! Letter from—disappointed. very unhappy." Mrs. Partridge, of Oakford House, near Exeter, died at the Patten Arms Hotel yesterday morn ing. She had been on a visit to Liverpool, and was re turning home in company with her son, a young man of about 22 years of age. When the collision occurred Seth were thrown out of the carriage, landing a:: some distance from each other, and while Mr. Spinks was attending to the young man, as one of the moat dangerously injured, he was called away to attend &lady who was said to be dying, and who proved to be Mrs. Partridge. When be returned to the son he found him dead, and the mother did not survive him many hours. This afternoon an inquest upon four of the bodies, which had been carried to the Norton Arms, Latchford, was held in the house before the coroner, Mr. William Dunstan. The names of three of the deceased were James Gill, James Partridge, and Mary Elizabeth Adcock. The fourth was a woman, apparently between 45 and 50 years of age, who has not yet been ide.-tified. The London and North-Western Railway Company were represented by Mr. Findlay, the general manager, and Mr. Roberts, from the o ffi ce of Mr. Rlenkinsop, solicitor to the company. Mr. Pilling, acting traffic manager of the district, and Mr. Thurston, goods manager, were also present. After a few preliminary remarks from the coroner the following witnesses were called : Mr. Edwin Roberts, commission agent, residing in King street, Warrington ' who identified the body of James Gill, of 371, I'ershore-road, Birmingham, commission agent. Mr Sylvania Reynolds, tanner, Latchford, who identified the body of his cousin, James Partridge, of Kirkdale, near Liverpool Mr. George Adcock, 7, Canton-street, Bretton, Liver pool, commission Agent, who identified the body of his daughter, Elizabeth, aged 27, schoolmistress, residing at Liverpool ; and Mr. Thos. Lamb, of Oak - bill, Old Swan, Liverpool, who identified the body of his brother, Edmund Gibson, of Llantressant, in the county of Glamorgan, mining engineer. On the completion of this evidence the inquest was ad journed till Friday neat. Inquests upon the bodies of the deceased lying at the Patten Arms and the Convalescent Hospital will be opened to-morrow. At the time our report was despatched no further deaths had taken place, but two of the patients remained in a very precarious position. (BY TILSORAPII.I WARRINGTON, Tut-slur. The inquest on the late Mn. Partridge and Thomas Jones has been opened, and adjourned. The pointstnan is not in custody as was first reported. No further deaths have taken place, but two are hourly expected. CRICKET.-(THIS DAY.)

The total sale of land for the same period is 518,5061, Ils. The reserve fund to Midsummer, 1867, is 13,348!. 3e. The register of rights stands as follows :—Completed, 6,638 ; drawn, 3,356 ; seniority, 1,806 ; total, 11,802. Deduct rights exercised on estates, &c., 9,132. ; unexenised rights, 2,670. The last share number on the register of rights by seniority of membership is No. 18,968. The last share number issued to Midsummer, 1867. was No. 27,155. Since the last report (March 9) the following rates have been allotted :—Malvern Link (West Wor cestenhire), Bth May, 1867. South London Estate, Putney, No. 5 (East Surrey), 28th June, 1867. The Malvern Link Estate was allotted alter a public meet ing at which Viscount Ranelagh and Colonel Meyrick were present as a deputation from the board. The property is within a few minutes' walk of • first-class station on the Worcester and Hereford Branch of the Great Western Railway. The society's land has an extensive frontage to the Worcester and Malvern turnpike road, and is free from the heavy rates of Great Malvern, being without the boundaries. in the parish of Leigh. From the sales of plots already effected, there is every reason to expect that building operations will commence forthwith. The con tract for the works will be carried out as speedily as possible. The South London Est a t e (P u t ne y N o . 5) is situated opposite the Cedars, Putney No. 1, on the banks of the Thames, and adjoins the society's other estates at Putney. The land communicates with the Upper Richmond-road through the new road on the fourth Putney Estate, called Disraeli-road, and is within a few minutes' walk of the High-street of Putney, the railway station, and the bridge. The South London Estate has • frontage to the extreme western boundary of the parish of Wandsworth. The committee have been enabled to retain Mouliniere House, now called Herbert House, which it was at first intended to pull down, but which, by a satisfac tory arrangement, will remain undisturbed as a residence. There was a considerable sale of plots on the day of allot ment. The next allotment will be on the 26th of July, when the second portion of the East London Estate (Forest-gate) will be offered. The rapid sale of the greater portion of the first part of the property, on which building has commenced. affordsgood grounds for expecting that the second section of the East London Estate will meet with equal success. The proximity to the station, and to Wiuutead Flats, of this eligible buil& ng property, and its adaptation for houses to suit all classes of the community, have rendered the East London Estate a popular locality, as meeting the constantly increasing demand for dwelling-houses in the eastern suburbs. The contracts for the works on the fol lowing estates are in progress : East and West London (Forest-gate and Fulham), New Ferry (Cheshire), Stafford (South Stafforlshire), Sandmen No. 2 (Isle of Wight), Putney No. 4, and North London, Finchley. As the 20th of July will be the last day for sending in claims for county votes, it is earnestly requested that the purchasers of land on the society's estates in 26 counties, if not already on the register for their respective counties, will communicate with the solicitor, in order that the freehold franchise may be secured to them and each property duly registered. The requisite deeds and particulars of the land should be for warded to the offices in the event of any objections being made. Holders of plots should also be careful to specify the most convenient polling-district in which to exercise the franchise for the county or counties wherein their property is situated. The society's legal adviser should aho be at once informed of any change of address and say altera tion in the qualifications. The allottees of the Conserva tive Land Society have the advantage that their electoral privileges an supported in the registration courts fns of expense." THE NEW CABINET iII.VISTER. SPEECH OF COLONEL I=SON PATTEN. Colonel Wilson Patten in addressing his con stituents yesterday, after his re-election , said, alluding to the subject of reform :—" I am not ashamed to own, seeing the necessity, as I thought. of carrying to a final settlement this question, that I abandoned some of the opinions which I have expressed in this hall for the purpose of meeting the government. (Cheers.) But I do not hesitate to tell you that locked upon this great question with much apprehension; and in the discussions which have taken place upon it, while I have been prepared on the one hand to a ba ndon some of my opinions, I have been prepared at the same time to adopt any amendments which, in my opinion, ' might give greater security to that measure. (Cheers.) I recollected the old axioms, ' Dissent is easy,' and that ' There is no receding in the question of reform.' (Cheers.) Holding those opinions, I was prepared to give my support to the measure ; but ve r y soon, in the coarse which the bill took, it became manifest to members hold ing the views which I did that there was no possibility of enforcing our opinions ; opposition came from the oppo sition benches, and very soon the bill assumed • popular form--a more democratic form than had been introduced by Lord Derby. After much discussion it became manifest that the opinion of the house at large had been so ex pressed that it became impassible that any other bill could be passed except on clauses which had received the ament of noth sides of the house. (Cheers.) Before any offer'of office was made to me—before I took any part in the government of the country—l had made up my mind to adopt the plan of the government in its main relations, and to give it my support in its future In accepting office, I suppose it is understood that stages, e I ta la s ll . give my support to the government bill in its future stages, but I hope I may not be supposed to abandon any of the main poiots which I have ventured to hold. I will point out one or two amendments which I have proposed, and upon which I feel as strongly as ever I did. any of you now presentare connected with the borough of Lancaster. (Hear.) It is a painful subject to allude to but I can only gay that I did my utmost (and I was assisted by my noble colleague) to get the eighth clause, which affected the borough, altered. I used every endeavour, and exercised all the influence I possessed to obtain an alteration of that clause, and I am bound to say that at one time, up to a very recent period, I had every reason to entertain some hopes that we might have succeeded ; but when it came to be discussed ix the house, the feeling was too strong against it, and at the end of the discussion it was intimated to me that I could not receive all the support which I had been pro mised on going to a division. Ido not think it possible to reverse that decision, but I very much regret that I was not able to get the clause altered. (Hear, hear.) Another point is as to the distribution of seats. From the first moment it became evident to me that the interests of the county of Lancashire had nut been hilly attended to. Looking at its enormous wealth, I thought it had • right to a larger number of members than was proposed under that bill, and I did as much es I was able to get a reconsideration of that subject. I did nor esponee the cause of any particular town in the county, because I thought I should be compromising my opinions, but I did say that, if justice was to be done to Lancashire, there should be a larger distribution of mem bers to the different constituencies. (Applause.) I cannot tell whether my representations will succeed or not. I have placed before them the claims of five different towns within the northern division. I have stated their claims with as much clearness as (possible, but I do not know whether my representation will have had any effect. or, if so, upon which town any additional representation will fall. I have endeavoured to get Lancashire interests considered in the Reform Bill, and, if I have failed, I hope you will believe that I have done my best. (Applause.) Relative to the office which I now hold, I may say that the appoint ment was not of my own seeking. I have never been ambitious of office during the time I have been your repre sentative, and nothing on earth would have induced me to solicit it. (Cheers.) But there were many reasons, after I was solicited to accept office, and after I first refused, which led me to the conclusion that I was not only justi fied but coiled upon to accept the o ffi ce which Lord Derby made me. Independently of all the subjects to which I have called attention, at the present moment there is one to which I have alluded in my address, and to which I attach much importance ; I allude to the foreign policy of the government, and upon which I consider our prosperity depends almost entirely. (Applause.) It has been said during several years past that the influence of England in the affairs of the continent was on the decline. I have heard many of my own friends say that the in fluence which England has always had in settling such affairs bad declined, and that it did not enjoy the power which it did in former years, I do not agree in all that ; but we have had ample proof that, in the hands of the present government, and especially in ' those of the gentleman who had the special charge of the foreign department, the influence of England has not diminished, but I think we may say that it never stood higher. With the assent of every nation of Europe, the tosses of Europe is attributed to the able judgment and the sound discretion of Lord Stanley. (Cheers.) As I have said in my address, I should look with apprehension to anything which might deprive us of the noble lord's ser vices in that department, and I should take every means to support any government of which he was a member. (Applause.) I now comeagain to the appointment which has been conferred upon me. Many of you must see that honour able as it is (and nobody appreciates the honour more than I do) the office is surrounded with no ordinary diftl. culties. A portion of that duty is to regulate the admi nistration of justice—by the appointment of magistrates, and so forth ; and it struck me at first that no one was less capable of performing that duty properly than a man who has to depend upon the support of others for the office he holds. Lord Derby took a different view, and said he was convinced that I should be able to do it to the satis faction of the country ; and I was then induced to withdraw my refusal. I assure you that I shall endeavour to discharge my duty with the strictest impartiality, and with a due regard to every class over which I preside. (Applause.) I have already taken steps to make myself acquainted with every bench in the county; and those who are interested in the matter I would ask to withhold their opinions as to the mode in which I discharge my duty until I have made myself master of the office. (Applause.) This evening a public meeting is to be held at Exeter Hall, called by the London Trades Council, "to express surprise, indignstion,Tandiliorror of the trade —.es at the crimes committed by BroaTh - 16 — eadTa — nd his accomplices at Sheffield." The chair is to be taken by the secretary of the Society of Amalgamated Engineers. The stores of the Blakely Ordnance Company, consisting of guns, shot, shell, &e., are to be put up for sale by tender on the lit August next. _ _ The Russian journals announce that a Colonel Sokoloff has been sentenced by the St. Petersburg tri bunal to 16 months' imprisonment in a fortress for having written a work entitled "The Apostates." The Wiest says that this book proceeds from a gloomy and sceptical party known u Njbilists. These persons are, it appears, hostile to the church and the Christian religion ; " they deny the right of private property, and indirectly excite to disobedience to the supreme authority." A letter from Rome of the 25th tilt. says :—" It is with regret that I have to mention the demise here, on Monday morning, of bliss Howard, of Corby, belonging to the oldest branch of the catholic family of that name. The young lady, who had left Rome for Naples with her family after Easter, returned here about a fortnight since to wit ness the ceremonies, but, bringing with her the seeds of Neapolitan fever, expired from its effects, at the Hotel Brighton, to the great grief of her relatives and friends." THE LAST DAYS OF SIR ARCHIBALD AL/BON.— To walk under the old trees at Fossil, or pace up and down the pretty flower-garden there, was to the last one of his greatest enjoyments. Every day be read works in English, French, Italian, and German, generally of imagination,— and to the higher branches of German literature be was perhaps most devoted. Hie small but very beautiful col lection of water-colour drawings used to afford him the greatest pleasure ; and he often used to sit and gaze for minutes together at the fine sketch of the " Ruins of nevtum' by Williams. The loneline.a and tranquillity of this picture seemed to exercise a singular fascination over his mind. He used constantly to say that he bad found old age the happiest period of life, and those who saw the remarkable and almost unearthly serenity of ex pression which marked his latter years will have been fully convinced that it was so in his wise. He had come to care little for mixing in general or gay society, and his greatest happiness was derived from his books and his own domestic circle. Generally, living entirely alone with Lady Alison, the almost only break in the even tenor of his life was when his children or a few intimate friends gathered round his board. For some weeks before his last illness, m father had been troubled with an occasional cough and breathlessness, but so slight was this that it never inter rupted his official business, and on Friday the 10th May be attended as metal in the County-buildings, and appeared in the most perfect health. On the morning of Saturday the 11th, he was seized with a severe attack of spasms in the throat. These recurred again with great severity on the evening of the Monday following, and with such ter rible violence on the evening of the ensuing Thursday, that the three medical men who were in attendance on him united in opinion that in all probability he had not half an hour to live. But the great natural strength of his constitution here supervened ; he rallied, and the disease changed its type ; the throat-spasms entirely ceased, the cough and breathlessness greatly diminished, and he slept much. His strength now gradually and slowly sank, and at half-peat 11 o'clock on the evening of Thursday, the 23rd May, surrounded by every member of his family, he peacefully sank to rest. So calm was his end, that we could not tell the exact moment of his death. During the whole of kW illness, when awake, he was perfectly con scious, and the tranquillity and peace of mind which he exhibited was, throughout, of the most striking nature. The good servant had done his work, and was ready and willing to go when his Muter called him.-131acks000ers Mapaziwe for July. MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.) On O'CLOCK. The amount of business in the Stock Exchange to-day is small, and the tendency of most of the markets is flat. Consols have declined 1 per cent., owing partly to the announcement of the failure of a speculator for the rise. Some of the British rail way stocks have also given way, the transactions still consisting chiefly of speculative sales. Great Eastern is prominently heavy, upon the issue of the circular given below. Foreign bonds, as well as banking, financial, and miscellaneous shares, are, in most cases, quoted the same as yesterday.

Play in this great match was resumed this morning at Lord's. During the night there had been • heavy fall of rain, which, however, did not affect the ground below the surface. The announcement in the morning papers of the very interesting position in which the game stood last night, and the promise of another day's excellent play, had the effect of bringing together • large concourse of spectators of both sexes, and a ring was at once formed three or four deep. There were also large numbers of car riagesand horsemen. At 10 minutes to 12 the "riot outs" of last night, Mr. Case, with 16, and Mr. Tritton, with 12, took possewon of the wickets, and the bowling was st►rted by Mr. Pelham, who delivered the first (in order) over to Mr. Case. Mr. Absolom bowled from the opposite wicket. The first hit above a single was • 3 in the slips ►y Mr. Case ; the second ball of Mr. Abaolom's second over. Mr. Tritton unfortunately played on to his leg and it rolled into his wicket with just suffi cient impetus to dislodge one bale— 1 for 33. Mr. Digby was next in, and the first ball Mr. Pelham bowled to Mr. Case, that gentleman hit straight back, ap pixently out of reach, but.kfr. Pelham sprung upandcaught it with the right hand, in • way that astonished everybody, and none more so than those immediately interested. This catch was " one of a thousand," and elicited loud shouts and cries of " bravo "-2 for 33. Mr. Boyle was caught easily at mid off-3 for 55. Mr. Dishy, after being missed at the wicket, was caught by Mr. 'White on the leg side high up, in an extraordinarily clever manner-4 for 62. At 1 o'clock the score stood as under: OXFORD. nits?

The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders was held at one o'clock; Mr. It. W. CRAWFORD, M.P., in the chair. . . The report, which bad been issued some time before, having been taken as read, The CHAIRMAN moved its adoption. He first called attention to the progress in the works under construction, as stated in the report. The Jubbulpore line had been completed within the fixed time, and was fully equal as a line to the expectations formed ; and he had no doubt that it was now in active working. He hoped that in due time the board would be enabled to announce that all the works, including the doubling of the line uptoAllehabad, had been finished. Before long they would be enabled in conjunction with the Great Indian Peninsular Company to convey pas sengers and goods from Bombay to Calcutta and rice revel. The tndlic of the last half-year was satisfactory. The gross receipts of that year were 1,119,000/. against 928,000!. in the preceding year. Since the report was drawn up au account had been received of the traffic up to the loth of June. It was estimated that at the next meeting the board would be enabled to announce gross receipts to the amount of 1,200,000/. ; and he hoped they would also lay before the proprietors a statement similar to that presented in January last. (Cheers .) Step' were being token for the raising of an additional million for the works in progress. He then referred to the ques tion of establishing a provident fund for the company's servants in India, and pointed out the advantages of the plan recommended in the report, namely, that of giving the company's officers an interest in the profits after they reached a certain amount. In conclusion he expressed a hope that there would never be any foolish rivalry be tween ~the different Indian railway companies ; and ob served that in the case of that company as the capital had been increased so the amount of profit had increased in a greater proportion ; and said he hoped the time was not far distant when the capital account would be entirely closed and the beard refuse to make any extensions, and that his motto would be " Remember the Brighton Rail way." (Cheers.) After some discussion the report was adopted and the proceedings terminated in the usual manner. THE CONSERVATIVE LAND SOCIETY. ( THIS DAY.) The quarterly meeting of the members was held thin afternoon, Viscount RANELAGH in the chair. Mr. Grunesen (the aecrotary) having read the advertisement convening the meeting, tte report of the executive4com mittee was read as annexed: " In presenting their ordinary quarterly report, the ex ecutive committee of the Conservative Land Society invite the attention of the shareholders to the subjoined three first quartersid the present tory returns for the financial year : Shares shares Quarters ending in I cum- I Total I Receipts. progress. pleted.

Groat Eastern Railway, Bishopecate Terminus, London, lst July, 11167. The board are under the painful necessity of in timating to the shareholders that, in consequence of the refusal of the Parliamentary Committee to pass the Finance Bill, and of the pressure for payment of capital sums owing in respect of land purchases and un paid debts, whilst the discredit of railway securities in the money market has rendered it impossible to renew debentures—the company have been unable to provide for the principal of the debentures falling due, and consequently cannot resist the intervention of the (Court of Chancery, which has been sought on the behalf of the holder of an overdue deben ture. It is probable, therefore, when this case come, to be heard before the Court of Chancery, that a Receiver will be appointed, and until further capital can be raised the net revenue of the company will have to pass through the court. The board do not anticipate that this step will prevent the payment of the interest on the debentures which will become due on the 15th inst. The net income of the company, upwards of 900,000/. a year, is fa r more than adequate to the payment of interest upon all leased lines, debentures, and other debts of the company ; but the capital liabilities incurred in the manner often explained to the general meetings can only be met by raising further capital. The company have called a meeting of preference holders, to ask their consent to renew in the present session the application for powers to raise the necessary capital, and an early opportunity will be taken of laying before the shareholders, for their consideration, the plans assented to by the preference holders. (Signed) C. H. TURNIP, Chairman. J. B. Owen, Secretary. It appears that the surplus available for the sinking fund, to be applied in the current quarter to the reduction of the National Debt, is 551,0431. Rumours were current yesterday of the proposed issue, at an early date, of a new Russian loan, but met with little credence. They seem to have arisen through an announcement in the letters from St. Petersburg—apparently founded on a telegram received there from Paris—that the Moscow Rail way has been purchased by the Grand Russian Railway Company. Two Russian loans having been brought out in this country within the last eight months, it may well be questioned whether a new one would be subscribed for. About 65,000/ in gold was bought by the Bank yesterday. The City of Washington has arrived from New York with 11,0001. in gold. A special general meeting of the shareholders in the London Joint Stock Bank is called for the 25th I inst., to consider and confirm resolutions as to the issue of the remaining 8,000 shares created at the extraordinary meeting on the 18th August, 1864. The chief conditions of the proposed issue are as follows. The premiums are to be carried to the credit of the guarantee fund : That the remaining 8,000 shares of the London Joint Stock Bank created by resolutions of the proprietors in the 1 year 1864 be now issued at 251. per share, being 151. per share the amount paid up on the existing shares of the company, and 10/. per share premium. That such shares , be in the first instance offered to the shareholders in the proportion of one new share to every nine shares of which ' on the 25th day of July next they may be the registered holders, and that any shares not accepted by them be allotted at the discretion of the directors at not lees than the Premium above-mentioned. That payment he made by four instalments as follows, viz.:—at. on the 30th September, 1867, 5/. on the 31st October, 1867, Si. on the 30th November, 1867, and 101. on the 31st December,lB67. The prospectus of the Anglo-Indian Telegraph Company (Limited) is issued, with a proposed share capital of 1,000,000/., in 50,000 shares of 20/. each, of which 1/. is to be paid on application and V. on allotment. The present condition of telegraphic communication with India being un- 1 satisfactory, and it being of importance to bring about such arrangements that a message may be transmitted between London and Bombay in six hours, the present company proposes " to establish, , under one control and management in London, a direct and thoroughly effective line of telegraph vici Egypt and Aden, to India, with extensions hereafter to Singapore, China, Japan, and Aus tralia." At an extraordinary meeting of the East Ind'a Cotton Agency (Limited), held yesterday, the follow ing resolutions were carried unanimously : —l. "'That the company be wound up voluntarily." 2. " That forthwith, after the confirmation of this and the preceding resolution, the directors present do present a petition to the Court of Chancery in the name of the company, praying that the voluntary winding up may he continued, sub j ect to the super vision of the court." At the inectiOL!, yemter , l.l%., of the Oriental Hotels Company (Limited), resolutions were pewit' adopt ing the rectors' report, and authonsing them to raise money on debentures to the extent of 25,000 L A special general meeting of the South Austra lian Banking Company is called for the 12th inst., to confirm the resolution passed on the 18th ult., authorising the directors to accept a supplemental charter of incorporation. It appears that a number of shareholders in the Ottoman (Sm3riia to Aidin) Railway Company have formed themselves into a " protection asso ciation." The particulars are published of a number of debenture bonds of the Submarine Telegraph Company, which were drawn on the 29th ult., and will be payable on the Ist September. The interest due this month on the shares and obligations of the Dutch Indian Railway Company is advertised for payment in due course. The new act re:ative to transactions in bank shares came into operation yesterday morning, and at a meeting of the dealers inthe Stock Exchange it was decided to withhold the closing prices of many banks from the official lint. In about a dozen in stances, however, prices were quoted, and showed no change compared with those of Saturday. The act is very unpopular amongst the dealers, who naturally consider that its operation will be to restrict speculative transactions. Messrs. Barings have announced the interest duo the 13th instant on Grand Russian Railroad shares. MONDAY EVRIIING.
