PHILIPS, STEPNIIY.—MIL ISONWELL AND HIS PARISHIONERS.—(THIS DAY.) • This morning a vestry meeting wax held in the vestry room. St. Philip's, Stepney, for the elec tion of church wiudiros. The church was very much crowded in coosequence of a notice signed by the Rev. Mr. Bonwell, and a rumour that he intended to make his appesoos. Shortly before twelve that gentle man sawed trs church, and proceeding towards the vestry, where t►e parishioners were assembled, was received with mine Wailes. *r. BON WELT, aid the persons who hissed were not either Mistimes or churchmen, to behave in such a way in a used eddies. Aiiadj.,Urskenent to the church was at once agreed to. The Bev. Yr. Boxvitt.t. mid that he wished to explain why be had come to take the chair on that occasies. He had • right to do so ex officio. He bad always been anxious to contribute to the peace of the parish, and the Bishop of Loudon had induced him to sign an agreement that d he (Mr. Bonwell would act interfere with Mr. Hills (the curate in charge) while the appeal was eding, hie lordship would allow him (Mr. Bon well) half the fees. Those fees were takes by the bishop's meretary and kept by him, and but that some friend had been raised op to him, he should not have been in a position to come to the church that day. He had been to Mr. Lee, and found that many of his private pipers had been lost from the school-room, and much as the people of that end of London had been maligned by the press with Wows to St. George-intim-Fast, be had always been treated with forbearance by the people there. If the Bishop of London had kept his word and acted in accordance with the agreement, he should not have come, but his fees had been kept back, and week after week he had been left without • penny in his pocket He had been informed that some ow lin the parish had mid it was intended to keep back the fees as long as possible on purpose to crush him still more, and therefore he appeared to appoint his own churchwarden to look after his interest, in some degree, at all events. He could not help repeating that the bishop bad not kept his word; and it was • frightful thing to know that a Christian minister should be living in two palaces like Dives, and keeping his rights away, who was obliged to live like Ir tarns, doctored by dogs ad comforted by crumbs. He appointed Mr. Fit:maid O'Brien, of 19, Hark-lass, as his churchwarden. Considerable feeling was exhibited on the pert of several speaker; but there seemed to be amongst the majority a tendency to withhold any manifestation of their opinion until the case was fully decided. Mr. BoNwei.i., in the course of a second address, loudly declaimed against the unfair manner in which, as he allege be had been treated by the bishop. If it had not been for the way in which the prom had treated him he might have been able to earn • living, which was impossible for any on. to do while under their ban. During the fourteen years he had been in the parish be had spent 9031. in the schools, and had worked more, as the late Bishop of London had told him, than all the clergymen of St. Paul's Cathe dral put together. He had only acme there to do that which the law allowed him, and threw himself on their generosity to treat him with fairness. .. , After some other speeches 117 George Ellmer was sip.. poised parish warden, and the proossdings terming... 4 in a much more enterly manner than had boas anticipated. HOUTH.IASTZRN RAILWAY COMPANY. (THIS DAY.)

The Hon. JAHMS JONG, the chairman of the directors, presided. The CHAIRMAN having briefly recapitulated the objects erf the meeting, concluded by moving that the draft of the first bill be approved. The motion having been seconded, Kr.

He wished to know whether inch was the case. The CRAIRNAN replied that the governors of the hospital had asked the amount mentiosed, but it by no means fol. lowed that it would be paid—(hear. hear)—adding that if the hospital were purchased there would be four acres left for tale. The tail melte' was quite distioct from the rail way capital, sad weld retort a revenue of 8,000/.

The Directors of the Bank of England have this day reduced the minimum rate of discount from 7 to 6 per cent. The announcement has been received with much satisfaction. Although the action at the Bank had been li generally anticipated, it has had a strengthen ing influence upon the stock market. The funds aro not quoted better than they closed yes terday, but the market is firm. British railway stocks exhibit a partial recovery. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes opened at 67.60, being / per cent. better than yesterday. Consols are officially marked 911 and 1 for money, and 914 and 4 for the account. The present quotations are 911 to 91/ for cash, and 91/ to 1 for the 10th of April. The official business report is as follows :—lndia Stock, 2214 ; ditto Five per Cent Stock, 99/, 100 ; ditto Four per Cent. Debentures, 1858, 951 ; ditto, 1859, 954 ; dittb Bonds, 30s. dis. ; Four per Cent. "enlaced " rupee paper, 77 ; Exchequer Bills, 6e., 55., 10s., clis. The foreign stock market is rather firmer in character. Turkish and Mexican Bonds are rather more inquired for : the latter are marked 241. Generally there is little alteration in quotations in this department. Sales are re corded as follows :—Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 641 (exchange 12fl.); Equador New Consoli dated, 121 ; Mexican Three per Cents., for account, 241 ; Piedmontese Five per Cents., 75 (exchange, 25fr.) ; Peruvian Three per Cents., 724, ex div. ; Portuguese Three per Cents., 1853, 451 ; ditto, for acct., 46; Russian Three per CU., 1859, 611; Spanish New Deferred Three per Cents., 414 ; the Com mittee's Certificates, 5/ ; Turkish Six per Cents., 1858, for account, 534 ; ditto Guaranteed Four per Cents., 100; ditto for account, 991. A meeting of the joint-stock banks will be held to-morrow, when it will be decided whether any alteration is to be made in the rate for deposits. Meanwhile, the discount establishments will allow the same rates as before. We have received the following memorandum this morning from the committee of Mexican bondholders : " The committee of Mexican bondholders have received a latter from Mr. Whitehead, dated Mexico, the 4th ultimo. He had not then come to any arrangement with the government about the re-payment of the 660,000 dole. His interference, it must be understood, was only officious at the re quest of Mr. Mathew. The agreement with Captain Aldham about the assignments of the bondholders in Vera Cruz and Tampico had not been carried out in either of those ports, but the committee have a letter from their agents in Vera Cruz of the Bth ultimo, informing them that orders to do so have at length been given, to take effect from and after a cargo entered on the 2nd ult. The Vera Cruz arrears for 1860, for the repayment of which 5 per cent. additional have been granted, amount to 263,769.34. The Vera Cruz Custom-house had received the circular order from the general treasury to observe strictly the de cree of the 23rd Jan., 1857, which had also been re published in the Program° of the 6th ult. Politics— Things are not settled yet. Forces are main tained in opposition to the government in the South under Vicario, associated with Zuloaga, and in the North towards S. Louis under Mejia associated with Marquez, and it may cost trouble to put them down. The elections are very doubtful ; Juarez now appears rather the favourite. If neither has an absolute majority the election will revert to the Congress." The rise in the New York exchange to 107} (at which rate the latest despatches report it " firm") will virtually put • stop to remittances of specie to that quarter. The question—when will sovereigns begin to flow back to this country I—is one of con siderable interest. Our grain requirements, com bined with the diminution in our exports to America, will, of course, tend to delay the recovery in the exchange to its ordinary leveL At Vienna the funds are declining, and the ex change on London has risen to 150.75. About 130.0001. in gold, mostly Australian, was bought by the Bank yesterday, raising the aggre gate since the date of the last return to 434,0001. The Glasgow took yesterday only 17,6001. in specie for New York, making in all 4,818,000/. since the end of November. The Oneida has reached Lisbon from Brazil with 24,6261. in specie. The wheat market yesterday was inactive at Monday's prices. The Liverpool cotton market continues firm, but sot active. The sales yesterday consisted of 6,000 bales. The telegrams by the second American packet reported yesterday afternoon announce a recovery in New York and Erie Railway shares from 301 (the latest telegram via Halifax) to 32, and a recovery in Illinois Central shares from 801 to 82. The previous fall in the former to 301 at New Tork was occasioned by the rumour that an "assessment" was contemplated. A telegram announces the arrival at Malta of the mails from Bombay and Mauritius, which are expected to be delivered in London early next week. The telegram quotes the exchange at Bom bay 2s. led. Meeaages are now sent from Malta to London with great regularity. The transmission of one de spatch a day or two ago occupied only 1 hour and 46 minutes. A meeting of the creditors of Mr. Joseph Bull, ironmaster, of Ravened&le Iron Works, Newcastle under-Lyne, was held at Manchester on Monday. The liabilities reach 47,277/., while the net assets are not more than 11,9231. It was stated that Mr. Bull had assured his creditors that he was solvent in June last, and that he is unable to account for the deficiency now exhibited. Considerable dissa tisfaction was accordingly expressed, and there was a strong feeling in favour of bankruptcy proceed ings. It was resolved, however, to appoint a com mittee of investigation, and if their report does not promise a more favourable liquidation than that indicated by the Accouute, the estate is likely to be wound up in the Bankruptcy Court. The London and North Western Railway traffic return shows this week (for Good Friday week) au increase of 6711., the Great Western an increase of 3,533/., the Great Northern an increase of 8501. ' and the London and South Western an increase of 3,6501. The general meeting of the Lombardo-Venetian and South Austrian Railway Company is fixed for the 30th inst., at Vienna. A call of a is to be paid by the Ist of May. The second coupon of the year 1860, representing the balance of the divi dend of that year, which will be declared by the general meeting of the 30th inst., will be deducted on account of this payment. The directors of the Great Western Railway Company of Canada have just issued their half yearly report which is to be submitted at the meet ing on the 11th inst. As already announced, a dividend at the rate of 3 per cent. .per annum is recommended by the directors. It is pointed out that the last half-year's working, irrespective of the surplus brought forward, has yielded 2,193/. more than the amount required to pay the dividend now recommended. Whilst the traffic has increased 45,321/., the extra expenses ha% amounted only to 5,2351. Amongst other points, it is believed that a considerable accession of traffic may arise from the recent discoveries of earth oil. The directors conclude by repeating the recommen dation which they made eighteen months ago, viz. that the shareholders appoint two of their number to act as auditors. A special meeting of the Metropolitan Railway Company is called for the 24th inst., to approve three bills about to be iutroduced into the House of Commons. One of these authorises the company to make certain improvements in their communica tion with the Great Northern Railway, and with the metropolitan meat market at Smithfield. second authorises the extension of the Metropolitan Railway from Smithfield to Finsbury-circus, whilst the third is for making a line from the Greet Wes tern Railway to Hammersmith, to be called the Hammersmith and City Railway. An extraordinary meeting of the Calcutta and South Eastern Railway Company is called for the 16th inst., to confirm the resolutions passed at the meeting on the 13th March, whereby the directors were authorised to borrow 50,0001. on debentures convertible into shares. A call of 2'. is to be paid by the 29th inst. on the shares iu the Great Indian Peninsula RailwayCom psay, on which 81. has already been paid.

Exchequer Bills were slightly firm er , a t 28 to 7s. dis. The foreign Mock market wail rather heavy, owing to the uncertain position of politics on the Conti nent.
