Ts. Wtrg Liortnes LULL —An influentially attended meeting we. held at L yesterday, for the pur. P. of protesting against Mr. ttetene's Wine Licenses Bill ; the Vicar occupied the chair, and the speakers were Mr. Bescroft, M.P., and Mr. L Bunn, M.P. Mr. Beecruft, as • conservative, °bleated to the budget altogether, and contended that, himend of reduceg the wise duties, the Chancellor of the Exche quer should have lightened the income tax, re. defied the malt tax, and relieved the poor man from the premure of the war impost on to and sugar. He had no faith in Mr. Gladstone • calculations with respect I'. a hugely Metered consumption of wine, and believed that the Wioe Licenses Bill will neither add to the revenue not promote habits of temperance among the people. Mr. Maims, as the seconder of Mr. Ryon motion, could not, of coons, follow his colleague in his strictures on the financial scheme of the government, but he expressed the deepest comers at the social danger, which, in bin opinion, the bill ender consideratien involved. A resolution was agreed to, consiseullig the bill as calculated to increase the tempta tions to intemperance, and as likely to lead to alarmin,r de secration of the day of rest. It was also determined to embody the resolution in a petition to be presented to both Houses of Parliament. _ Tan Eerst arum MOIDEf. —The inquest upon the I b o dy od Aso Boma servant .4 Mr. Pearen, of Emhletoo, was restmed ea Tuesday, at the Blue Ben Inn, Embletoo, before Dr. Bell, coroner.

TH L BOUTHWAILE VIISTRY. —The Ender meeting of the vestry of St. Gump the Martyr, Southwark, for the election of officers for the ensuing year, was held at the Vestry hall, Newington Csusewa on Tuesday evening last, the Rev. Hugh All en , M.A., t he rector, in the chair. The attendance of vestrymen was unusually great, in con vene* of the party feeling which has for some time pant animated both factions in this parish. The principal busi ness of the evening was the appointment of a churchwarden in the roam of one retiring, for which dace, though strictly honorary there were two candidates—Mr. W. 'Lock and Mr. Heade', vestrymea and past overseers. The discussion as to the relative merits and demerits of the candidates wan, with but one or two exceptions, conducted most temperately, and upon the show , s 1 hands being taken, Mr. Lone, the representative of the church party, was declared dilly elected by a majority of 19 to 11— Mr. Bendel, the nominee of the nonconformist party, losing by eight votes. The reverend chairman congratulated the vestry upon their choice of • churchward en , an d assure d them there was nothing inconsistent in a conscientious nonconformist de siring to serve as churchwarden, and that the church Mein instance was not in any danger whichever way the elation had terminated. The remainder of the business being merely of • routine character, the rector vacated the chair, a vote of thank, to the chairman—moved by Mr. Archer, and seconded by Mr. Palmer—having been carried unani mously.

Senora ACCIDENT ON TIM MIDLAND ItArLWAT.— A u accident, attended with considerable In., occurred near the Defford station of the Midland Railway, yesterday morn ing. The ordinary g oo d s train from Bristol left Worcester at half-past one o'clock, a.m., and on arriving at Defford commenced shunting on to the up-line, to allow of the 3.24 nail to pane While so doing the express goods train from Darby up, and before it could be stopped can clean through the other train, knocking over the engine on to its side, and damaging it and several of the waggons con siderably. The dnver and stoker, as we (Binning. /Me Pose) are informed, jumped from the engine time, and en saved their lives. The up-rails were blocked with the debris and the fallen engine during the whole of yesterday. The fault is said to arise from a defect in the signals. Fortunately no person was injured, although the loss to the company, in the shape of damagedmater lsls, will be very great. MAAVALLOrn &CATE ow Tile RAIL. —List Satur day afternoon the two little girls of the Rev. R. Spears, of Stocktoo, had a most marvellous escape from a fearful death. There is a footpath creasing the rails into the field of Aldermen Wren, close to their own door ; the two little ones, one three yearn old and the other five, hand-in-hand, were crowing the Leeds Northern, when a short train came up, the driver not observing them till within twenty yards of them, and running pretty quick at the time, saw nothing, he said, but a certain and terrible death for the children. He did what he could, reversed the engine and put on the brake; but just se the children were crossing the last rail the engine came up and caught them both, throwing the elder girl outside and the younger one inside the rails, where she lay stunned till the train passed safely over her. With the exception of a slight bruise or two, neither of them was much worse. The men said they had never witnessed a scene that so terrified them, and could scarcely believe from the blows both must have received that the children were little wone. They urged they must be seriously injured,and expressed surprise that they were not cut to pieces There no town in the world that eau be more thoroughly hedged is by level railway crossings oil every side, and tint really reaps lea sdvantages from railways than Stockton. It does really say little for the guardians of the rights and interests of a town when them railways were mad^ notwithitamding all their spirited oppositions to public eonspanion, that these this's should be so. —Newcastle Cheeniek. rice CORE BUTT= MARKET. —The " same commenced this day, opening with sixteen hundred firkin'. At the onneeponding period of last year four thousand ILTICiAS were sent to market ; hut considering the severity of the past winter and spring, and the emporiums' scarcity of food for cattle, the supply of butter to-day was larger they might have been expected. The quality was inferior, being, to a large extent, what is teehaically called "cocks," that is, butter made up of different qualities. A very smell portion was dairy Main, which, however, only obtained the mark of third quality. Firsts and seconds received no place, hat a nominal price of 130 e per cwt, for each was peeled.

The Directors of the Bank of England, at their weekly court to-day, have raised the minimum rats of discount from 41 per cent., at which it was fixed a fortnight ago, to 6. As usual the measure bad been anticipated in the Stock Exchange. During the morning the funds were quoted at a fresh reduetion of i per cent., but since the announcement of the ri,e in the Bank rate, a recovery to yo 8 tor" day's closing quotations lupe taken place. The rally is promoted by the receipt of improved prices from the Paris Bourse. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter'n telegram, the 'three per Cent. Rentes opened at 70fr. 40c., and thence receded to 70fr. 36c., showing, however, a fresh rise of to t per cent. since yesterday. The New Victoria Six per Cent. Debentures,after falling to 104 to &v. , . recovered to 105 to j. In the market for Exchequer Bills yestenlay'n improvement of la. to 2s. has been lust ; the present quotation is Ss. to 12s. prem. - . . Consols are officially marked 94k, }, 94, and 91} for money, and 94} and } for the account. The present quotations are 914 for cash, and 94} to } for the 9th of May. Bank Stock has been dealt in at 226 ; the Three per Cents. Reduced at 921, and I ; the New Three per Cents., at 9 n and 1; the New Two-and-a-Half per Cents., at 78} ; the Indian Five per Cent. stock of 1859 at 104 and 105} ; the Five per Cent. enlaced rupee paper, at 98} and 98 ; ditto Five-and-a-Half per Cents., at 1031 ; India Bonds, at par ; and Exche quer Bills, at 12a. and Bs. prem. The foreign stock market is quiet, and prises generally are quoted the same as yesterday. The Turkish Loan of 1854 remains quoted 75} to 76, ex div., and that of 1868, 61 to }. Sales are recorded as follows :--Brazilian Four-and a-Half per Cents., 1858, 901 ; Chilian Six per Cents., 102, ex div. ; Dutch Four per Cent. Certi ficates,loo}, ex div. ; Mexican Three per Cents., far account, 211, 21} ; Russian Five per Cents., 107} ; Sardinian Five per Cents., for account, 83} ; Spanish Three per Cents., for account, ; Turkish Six per Cents., 1854, for account, 75f, ex div. ; ditto Six per Cents., 1868, 61A, 61 ; ditto, for account, 61. The Tasmanian has arrived from the West Indies with 66,0001. in specie. The tenders for the 2,460,0001. of Victoria Go vernment Six per Cent. Debenture's were opened yesterday at 2 o'clock, at the London and West minster Bank. Although the desire to subscribe was apparently much less strong than on previous occasions, the attendance of capitalists and mem bers of the Stock Exchange was large. It was announced that the minimum or reserved price (which upon the last occasion was 108) is now fixed at 106. The general result of the bidding was not known until some hours after the conclusion of the proceedings. We are enabled to state that the total applied for (and therefore accepted) at and above the minimum is 1,670,000/. The amount tendered for below the minimum is only 116,0001. The total number of tenders is 400. The highest price bid is 108 (being 1 per cent. above the price at which the Debentures could have been purchased in the Stock Exchange yesterday), and the lowest 96. It follows that the balance remaining unallotted is 1,0e0,0001. During the morning, and up to two o'clock, the prim of the old Mule was 106 i to 107 for the present account, and 106} to for the end of April. As soon as the MMientim price transpired sales were pressed, and the quotation fell to 1061 to / ; and later in the afternoon, when it was rumoured not quite correctly that the balance not taken was about three-quarters of a million, a further decline occurred to 106 to 1, at which the market closed fiat. Uncertainty as to the manner in which the balance will be disposed of contributed to this decline. It is urged that the committee, who will meet to-day, cannot in fairness to the present subscribers offer the balance to the public at 106. To do so would operate as a discouragement Ito applicants on future occasions. If it be necessary that the balance be placed without delay, the persons whose tenders were accepted yesterday have clearly a prior claim to a further allotment. The amount of the deposit lodged being 6 per cent., it follows that about 100 per cent. or 1,570,0001. cash, must be paid by the 30th instiut, when the debenture, will be deliverable. The fortnightly settlement in shares and foreign stocks will commence to-morrow (" continuatiqa day") and terminate on Monday. The large amount (about 300,0001.) of Mexican dollars by the last packet were sold yesterday, prin cipally for China, at ss. 214 per ounce, ahowing a fall of id. compared with the price obtained for the supply which arrived early in March.
