ccTIOY COMMITTEES.-(THIS DAY.) B e fore the Hereford oommittee this day, after the sommetion of two witnemes, Mr. Serjeant Ballantine ogi that it wee not his Intention to pro 7e.d f u rther with the petition against the return of • I si gallay as, after the decision arrived at by the u a sn see on Saturday, he found it would be impoodble sg =cy. The committee adjourned at 1 o'clock till ir p g ie s e to enable Mr. Cooke to consult with his clients to / bat should be done with the petition against Mr. c . i !gr. Coohe saying he was afraid there would be w in s &Sault/ Wablilhing /N ow evidence in the case of the Devonport and G a y a petitions was adduced. BRITISH AND FOREIGN SCHOOL SOCIETY. (THIS DAY.) T annual meeting of this society was held at mss , Bari Rwisaw. presiding, and was very numerously owe gad. Before the meeting, a lengthened and interesting eg oisetion of the children took place in the princ i p al ...400 and was witnessed by the Premier, Lord Ly v e - K l , - sad a large number of the leading supporters of the ; m utation, including a great many ladies. Among those at the meeting were, in addition, Lord Lyveden, h a, W. Boileau, Gurney, ALP., Sir Walter Stirling, Ball, Mr. R. Alsop, Sm. yam the report read by the secretary it appeared that the several agencies of the society bad been continued in occessful operation, consisting of the training colleges for yew men and young women, the modal and practising s chools at the Borough-road and at Stockwell, the inspec lice of schools in England and Wales, and the depo sitory for the sale of school materials at reduced prices, an extended correspo ndence with educationalists slaved. The Training College at the Borough-road was reported as not being tell ; but at Stockwell, it was g a ted, there were one hundred young women under train- The demand for trained teachers proved greater than the supply ; and the society had thus early in the year been unable to meet the applications for wines. In the schools on the premises more than one thousand children were in daily attendance. Mr. Dads, RA., who for nine years had represented the so ciety in the north o f England, had resigned. and was sameeded by Mr. E. Salter. In South Wales there existed a strong desire and determined effort to estab lish schools on the principles of the society. Of the grants o f school materiah thirty-one had been made to new schools. Proof was adduced of the still destitute condition of ear large towns and cities by a reference to the results of the canvass made by the Manchester Education Aid So ciety, from which it appears that only 40 out of 100 of the children eligible were at school. The income of the society for the year ending 31st December, 1865, was 13 ; 5671. 9 3 . 9d, ; the expenditure being 13,3491. s. This was owing t o the payment and appropriation of some bequests. The er tjaery Jimmie of the society is below its expenditure, and from the arrangements of the oommittee of council it is in promo of diminution. Lard LYVEDIN moved the adoption of the report, and expressed the interest which he felt in the society's worts. Adverting to the noble earl in the chair, be created considerable amusement by observing that during the arithmetical examination he could well imagine the noble earl as he listened to some clever boy's answers wishing he had him in the House of Commons to calculate for him what would be the effect on the position of his party of the complicated government measures of parliamentary re form. The Rev. R. D. WILSON seconded the motion, which was dterwards adopted. At the close of the proceedings the CHAIRMAN expressed his malefaction at fi nding that the society still maintained its principle of scriptural education, and that its opera tions manifested continued progress. He mast say that considering the progress of this country in wealth, and its position among the nations of the globe, he was far from satisfied with the oda catice among the people in general. He thought it eight to be far more extended, and he thought that those points of difference which had hitherto pre vented its extension might by concert and conciliation be removed and the education of the country very greatly promoted. fie could assure his noble friend (Lord Lyveden) that he was not, during the arithmetical examination, thinking of the probable effect of reducing the 101. franchise to 7l.—{laughter)—but if Cardinal Antonelli were in this country and saw some of the working classes, he should almost be ready to leave it to hint, as he was very intelligent man, to decide the political questions now in dispute. TRUST AND AGENCY COMPANY OF AUSTRALASIA.-( THIS DAY.) The fifth annual general meeting of proprietors was held to-day at the company's offices, St. Swithin's lane ; Mr. A. Boman iu the chair. The report of the directors has been already published. The CHAIRMAN, in moving its adoption, congratulated the shareholders that in hard times like these the directors were able to present so favourable a statement of affairs. Al regarded the debentures, which might be considered a very fair test of what the public thought of the company, he was happy to say that, notwithstanding the high rate of money, they had not changed the rate of interest nor issued a single debenture below par. (Hear, hear.) And the amount which stood at 203,470/. in the last balance sheet, now stood at 240,5e0/., almost a quarter of a million. They bad since the last meeting issued the second moiety of the new shares at 10s. per share premium, and the profit thus realised amounted to 2,3091. 71. 10d. The accounts were equally satisfactory from the colonies. Theboards were all working harmoniously with the ma nagement, and it was now understood that the restrictions imposed by the directors were in the way of prudence. They were getting now from the colonies 40,000/. in interest, and the entire arrears of interest during the whole of the year, they had been in operation amounted only to 241., and that now had been brought down to 71. 10s. The value of the security on which depended the capital of the company and the proceeds of the debentures was, therefore, undoubted. He then went through the various items of the account, and concluded by submitting the usual confirmatory motion. KINNAIRD, 31. P., seconded the motion. Mr. SALMON said it was perhaps too much to expect an increase of dividend on 20 per cent., but he thought it would be desirable to equalize the dividend between the two portions of the year. The CHAIRMAN said that they did not promise to give more than 10 per cent, dividend ; and therefore he thought it better to leave things as they were. (Hear, hear.) A bonus of 2s. per share was then declared, making with the interim dividend of Christmas last a dividend equal to 20 _per cent. per annum free of income tax. The retiring directors and auditors were re-elected. A SHAaEIIoLDER moved that the remuneration of the directors be increased by :1001. This was seconded awl carried ; and 500/. additional was voted to Mr. Horn, the general manager, the allowance to the eight directors up to the present time having been 1,500/. a year, and of the manager 1,0001. a year. A vote of thanks to the chairman and directors termi nated the proceedings. The Moniteur announces that the managers of the Aresir National, the Constitutiontsel, the Tempo, and the Opinion Nationale have been summoned to appear on Friday next before the Correctional Tribunal of the Seine, to answer the charge of publishing by anticipation the re port of the sitting of the Corps Legislatif on the 3rd of May. Salmon fishing has been unusually good this season in Ireland, the abundance of fish being attributed to the beneficial operation of the new fishery law. The Waterford Moil mentions as an illustration of the profits Dow obtained by fishermen of the humblest class, that "One night la-a week two of the cot fishermen on the Suir, brothers named Kavanagh, captured 28 fish at a angle draw of their seine, within half a mile of Carrick on•Suir, for which they found a ready market next morn ing at 31f. On the same night two men in the next cot Captured eight fish in a single draw." At Littlefield, in Dorsetshire, a gentleman has in his garden a quantity of peas in pod. M. Du Chaillu, the African traveller, has been 'laying at Weymouth. The mackerel season has commenced off the coast of Dorset. Upwards of 60 vessels sought shelter near the Portland breakwater from a strong north-easterly wind hit week. THE GOVERNORSHIP OF JAMAICA.—Some miscon .. rePtion has prevailed respecting the governorship of I Jamaica. Mr. Rawson has not been appointed as successor to Sir Henry Storks in Jamaica, as has been stated by I generally well informed contemporary. The mistake seems to have arisen from Mr. Rawson holding a dormant commission to act as governor of Jamaica under possible contingencies. TAJO/ELLIN° SCOTCHMEN. —Scottish songs are ! ,, keini and appreciated in every quarter of the globe. The mot sad th e snipe (sap Bulwer Lytton), are the two ani lath most tenacious of life ; they exist anywhere, and under any conditions.

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS. MARIC-LANE.-(THIS DAY.) There was only a moderate supply of English wheat on sale in our market to-day ; but most of the samples came to band in fair condition. The demand for most kinds ruled steady, at an advance in the quotations compared with Monday last of le. per quarter, at which the bulk of the supply was disposed of. Foreign wheat, the show of which was by no means ex tensive, was in moderate request on former terms. The supply of English barley was small, of foreign tolerably good. Even the finest samples moved off slowly, on former terms. Malt changed hands to • fair extent, at full prices. The supply was tolerably good.

Ows o'CLoci. The stock and share markets remain heavy, and prices generally exhibit a drooping tendency. The transactions, which are limited to-day, still consist chiefly of sales. Consols, foreign stocks, British railways, and financial and discount shares have nearly all given way. The reduction in the funds 7. amounts to per cent. Italian bonds have de dined as much as 21 per cent., and Imperial filer _ cantile shares 2/. The rate for good bills in the discount market is fully 7 per cent., although the supply of money is considerable. The charge in the Stock Exchange for short loans on English government securities latter were entitled to elect that (for the purpose of one plating the first cable) the charter should remain in force • after the 31st December list, upon paying for the his et,. the ship 1,0001. per month, in addition to any anstingewir payments otherwise aeastrig. On its being determined tell lay a second cable, it became necessary to modify the charter ; and, after considerable negotiation and anxious deliberation on the part of the directors, an arrangement has been made whereby the chatterers have the use of the • ship fee the above purposes, paying for the same lire addition to all expenses) 12,0001. in cash, in any event, b,' instalments extending over the period of the charter. On the new cable of 1060 being successfully laid, the charterers are to transfer to this company 25,000/. in shares of the Anglo-American Telegraph Company (Limited), fully pad up ; and in the event of the table of last year being cow , pleted, this company is to receive the 50,0601. in ordinary stock of the Atlantic Telegraph Company as specified, in the previous charter. The charterers have also the option of retaining the ship after laying the cable of 1866 on the payment of 1,0001. per month, and 101. per mile for all cables successfully laid, with the proviso that the minimum . payment to this company shall not be less than at the rate of 20,000/. per annum. The directors have no doubt that the proprietors will concur with them in considering the above arrangement very satisfactory, and they venture to express their confident belief that the expedition of this year will be a complete success. The ship will go to sea fitted with every appliance, which the experience acquired on the last occasion has shown to be necessary, fur sur mounting any difficulties which may present themselves during the operation. In pursuance of the terms of the charter, three instalments of 1,0001. each have been re ceived from the charterers. These payments become due monthly, so that early in July a sum of 6,0001. from this source will be in hand and available for dividend. The directors, therefore, propose to pay an interim dividend of 6 per cent. (free of income tax) as early in that month as may be found practicable. The statement of accounts to the 31st December last, duly audited, is annexed hereto. As anticipated in the last report, a further and final divi dend has been received from the trustees, in respect of the bonds of the Great Ship Company held by this company, which amount has been applied in reduction of the cost a the ship. is 5i to 6 per cent. Consols are now quoted 84 to both for money and the 9th inst., and 84 to 87 for the new account. Foreign stocks are very heavy. Italian bonds of 1861 show extreme depression, and have receded - SYI - 1011 1 21 21 per oent. Mexican have also declined 1, Turkish of 1862 and Brazilian scrip 1, Turkish of 1865 1, Spanish Passive 1. Some of the present prices are as follows:—Turkish, 1862, 60 to 62 ; ditto, 1865, Di to 1; Greek, 111 to I ; Spanish Passive, 24 to 241 ; ditto Certificates, 141 to i ; Italian, 1861, 391 to 40 ; Brazilian scrip, 8 to 7 dis. ; and Mexican, 17} to 18. United States 5-20 bonds are rather better, at 671 to I. Erie Railway shares are quoted 471 to 1; and Illinois Central, 771 to I, being firmer. The ships Suffolk, Mediator, Royal Standard, and Donald DUKay have arrived from Melbourne, with a total of 118,0001. in gold. international Financial shares are now quoted 2# to 2 dia. ; London Financial, 9to die. ; General Credit, 1# to 1# die. ; Imperial Mercantile, 8 to 7i die. ; Credit Foncier and Mobilier, 1} to 1# die ; Overend, Gurney, and ICompany, ri to 1# die. ; and National Discount, 71 to prem. The gloomiest week known for some years in the Stock Exchange closed on Saturday without there being presented even that partial recovery which generally attends a long persistence in speculative sales. In addition to the uneasiness which is felt with regard to foreign politics, there is now some doubt as to whether a further rise in the value of money is not within the bounds of possibility. As a result of the general feeling of uncertainty thus occasioned, speculators for a fall are rendered unusually bold in their sales, which have thus far decidedly outweighed in amount the investments by the public. Nevertheless bona fide purchases in a variety of securities are being made steadily, and will ultimately place the market on a firmer basis. Confining the view to our home interests, it would seem that the crisis in the Stock Exchange is greatly exaggerated. An advance of lor even 2 per cent. in the rate of discount is not an event that ought to make boa fide holders turn indis criminate sellers at a ruinous sacrifice, for of late years we have had frequent experience of the operation of dear money, and we know practically that extraordinarily high rates of discount are com patible with a moderately satisfactorily condition of trade, and with steady prices for public securities. War, no doubt, has its alarms ; but, happily, there is not the slightest prospect of this country being involved in the existing complications on the Con tinent. Moreover, the anomaly is presented that prices have descended to what is admittedly a war level, while war is not only not declared, but, as many persons believe, possibly to be avoided alto gether. Into the causes of the extraordinary collapse of the market for Italian stock we will not here enter, many of them being, indeed, apparent upon the very surface. But all other foreign stocks, even those which cannot be compromised by the very worst issue of the existing troubles, have suffered likewise a most se rious depreciation. Turkish Bonds, for ex ample, have fallen enormously, though Turkey is not going to war, and the new loans of Egypt, Brazil, and Chili have fallen to a heavy discount, though it is equally certain that not one of those States will take sides in the anticipated conflict, should it occur. As to the panic in financial shares, and in those of a host of miscellaneous under takings once eagerly sought after, but which, though mostly secure from damage even in the event of war on the Continent, are now literally thrown away by the holders, it can only be said that the course of prices in the Stock Exchange during the last two months argues a degree of impulsive caprice on the part of the public of which the ma jority of calm observers would have been utterly incredulous had they not actually seen the results. About 15,0001. in bar gold was sent into the Bank on Saturday. As usual about this period of the year, a 'arca of about 230,000 sovereigns was withdrawn on Saturday for Scotland. The annexed circular and accountant's special report has been forwarded to the shareholders in the Imperial Mercantile Credit Association (Li mited) : - IQ 14 a 4 zd 6 dti 2 dis: Mr ! ?Nisi 12t Ms 2 1 lii ir #1 , 51 din i 11;1:e 11 MLYE.S.-(THIS DAY.)

A fresh reduction took place in foreign stocks, the transactions still consisting chiefly of sales.

Turkish of 1865 also declined * ; Greek (including the coupons), l ; Brazilian scrip and Mexican of 1864, t ; and Spanish Passive and Mexican old bonds, t. Spanish Three per Cents. and Venezuelan of 1864 were in exceptional re quest, and rose 1 per cent. Bank shares again showed much heaviness, and the general tendency of prices was downwards. Agra, Alliance, Anglo-Austrian, Anglo-Egyptian, Bank of British Columbia, Chartered of India, Australia, and China, Chartered Mercantile of India, London, and China, English Joint-Stock, Imperial, Imperial Ottoman, London Bank of Mexico, Mercantile and Exchange, Oriental Com mercial, Provincial Banking Corporation, Union of Australia, and Union of London were all lower. Union of Ireland, however, improved. Alliance closed at 44 to 4 die. ; Anglo-Austrian, at It to 1 dis. ; and finperial Ottoman, at * to* prem. In the market for financial shares there was a strong demand for Imperial Mercantile, which left off at an advance of It. se. The circular given above was not issued until some time after the close of business. The shares of the other financial companies were very flat at one period of the day, and all declined, but a recovery was subsequently observable. Nevertheless, compared with yesterday's rates, General Credit show a re duction of 55., and International Financial of Is. 3d. Prices were last quoted as follows:—lnternational Financial, 2 3-16 to 2 1-16 die. ; General Credit. 1' to 11 dia. : London Financial, 8t to 7i dia. ; Imperial Mercantile Credit, to og dis. ; Credit Foncier and Mobilier, it to 1 des.

Miscellaneous shares were dull, and a redaction was reported in Imperial Land of Marseilles, Loudon General Omnibus, Rio Im provements. Thames and Mersey Insurance, and Union Marine of Liverpool. On the other hand, Quebrada Land and Mining advanced. The holders of scrip of the Imperial Ottoman Five per Cent. Loan of 1865 are informed that a further amount of 501. Bonds having been received from the OttJnian authorities, the issue is now re , sumed. The market for American securities was again de pressed, and a decline of 1, per cent. occurred in 5.20 Bonds, I in Erie Railway shares, and 1 in Illinois Central. Prices closed as follows :--5.20 Bonds, 67 to ; Erie Railway shares, 47* to ; Illinois Central, 731 to 761 ; Atlantic and Crest Westeni Debentures, large, 73 to 75 ; ditto, Con solidated Mortgage Bonds, 59 to 60. The mining market remains inanimate, and prices are still tending downwards.
