J lONEY M ARKET. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The *B,:nk of England return, completed to the 1 6th inst., is of a rather less favourable character. There is a slight falling off in the bullion, but the reserve of noi:es has been augmented to a moderate extent. The payment of the dividends has caused a further de crease in the public deposits, and there is also a considerable faking off in the private balances. The variations in the other items of the balance sheet will be seen in the subjoined table:— Active Circulation .• £21,420,975 Increase 272,635 Bullion .• .. 16,743,434 Decrease .. 00 00 00 138,506 Rest .• • • 3,085,467 Increase .. 5,322 Pul;:ic Deposits • • • • 5,225,131 Decrease .. .. • • 400,182 Other Deposits.. .. 15,710,260 Pecrease .. • • • • • • 625,909 Seven Day and other Bills .. 627,488 Decrease .. • • • • • • 46,277 Government Securities • . 11,210,755 Increase .. _ • • • • 50,000 Other Securities .. .• 18,018,133 Decrease _ 70.5,905 Notes unemployed 9,1"6,210 Decrease • • • • • • 395,795 A close holiday has been observed in the City to-day, as usual on Good Friday.

Mr. Armstrong, of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Invents rifled ordnance that will knock any ship to Pieces. He is knighted, and the Admiralty is be bighted. 1861. The Admiralty recovers, and in 'tents iron ships that resists any known cannon balls. 1862. Sir W. Armstrong invents a gun that klashes the iron ships into blacksmithereens. The admiralty collapses. 1863. The Admiralty re-ex- Panda and invents platina ships fastened with dia mond cement, and Sir W. Armstrong's balls fly to Pieces like bon-bons. Mr. Gladstone doubles the incom e tax. 1864, Sir W Armstrong invents brazen thunderbolts (supposed to be the original Jupiters) and in a pleasing experiment sends the greater part of the British fleet to the bottom of the sea. 1865. The Admiralty invents torpedo vessels which sail Mader water, and below any range of guns. Sir W. Armstrong tears his hair and swears in the New castle dialect. 1866. Sir W. Armstrong invents a 'Vertical gun that discharges Greek fire straight down, and a second time he destroys the greater Part of the British fleet. The Lords of the Admi ralty are about to hang themselves, when a thought Strike s them, and they don't. Mr. Gladstone again doubles the income tax. 1867. Dr. Cumming, who has for some weeks been having in his coals by the Sack only, suddenly proclaims the Millennium. As there is now to be peace everywhere, the Admi ralty does not invent anything, but waits to see. In orrler to test Dr Cumming's veracity, and to find out whether lions will lie down with kids, the Zoo logical Society (against the advice of their excel lent secretary, Mr. Sclater) let loose their biggest lion while a charity school is in the gardens. As the lion, instead of lying down with a kid, only lies dow n to digest him, the Admiralty thinks there is some mistake somewhere and determines to invent 4 new fleet. Mr. Gladstone once more doubles the income-tax. 1868. The Admiralty invents a stone fleet, with cork keels, and defies Sir Wm. Arm strong. 1869. Sir William Armstrong invents the Hannibal, or alp•shell, which contains the ttrongest vinegar, and melts the stone ships. Hav ing for the third time destroyed the British fleet, he is raised to the peerage as Lord Bomb. 1870. The Admiralty invents an aerial fleet, which sails in the clouds, out of shot range, and the. First Lord takes a double sight at Sir Wm. Armstrong. Mr. Gladstone a fourth time doubles the income-tax. 1 871. Lord Bomb invents a baloon battering-train 50 d in an experimental discharge brings down all, the British fleet into the German Ocean. 1872. The Admiralty, in desperation, invents a subter ranean fleet, which is to be conveyed by tunnels to 511 the colonies, but Mr. Gladstone blandly suggests that, as everybody now pays twice his income in , t axes, the people may object to further imposts un less some proof of economy is given. Government t herefore stop the pensions of 100 superannuated discharge some extra night porters at the T reasury. and bring in estimates for the subterra nean fleet. 1873. Lord Bomb invents his typhmons, or earthqueke shells, and suffocates the British fleet In th e Tasmania Tunnel. Mr. Gladstone a fifth time d ;ubler., the income tax. 1874. ThsEmperor of the r E ell proclaims the Millennium, which of course lt brlnaliately occurs ; no more war ships are wanted a nd the collectors remit the quarter's income tax 11: :: )t Yet due. Lord Bomb invents his volcano fire , (3 tis in honour of the occasion, and by some acei 'etit burns up the public.—Punch. SHARE MARKET-THURSDAY, ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS.

Closing Price. Business done- CRUELTY TO A HORSE.-Mr. Mansell, of the White Horse, Friday-street, Cheapside, was summoned before Mr. Knox, by Mr. Wm. Love, superintendent of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, for using a horse in an unfit state for work. On a previous day a carman in the employ of Mr. Man sell, was charged before Mr. Knox, by one of the officers of the Royal Society, with cruelly using the horse, but on that occasion Mr. Knox ordered a summons to be taken out against the owner of the horse. Mr. Cherry, the veterinary surgeon to the Metropolitan Police, said he had examined the horse and found it to be very old, lame, diseased, and totally unfit for use. It was hardly able to move itself, and he considered it an act of cruelty to send it out. There were traces of the horse having been severely flogged also, and it was a very bad case. 68 70 101 k ifh 6 6; 81 83 86 82 85 81 84 5 1 P 101 i 102, 10‘4 104 24 25 70 74 6' 63 40 45 45 48 37 10 37 40 1015 1021 Mr. Knox said ha should insist on the poor animal, after what was said by Mr. Cherry, being put out of its misery, and he would adjourn the case for that purpose. On the case again coming before Mr. Knox, Mr. Love said the beast had been de,troyed. A person attended for Mr. Mansell, and, in mitigation, said that Mr. Mansell was not aware that the horse had been flogged as stated, and that he was not an unkind man to his horses. 101 102 121 12i 102 7f lui 93 06 91 95 101} 102; e 4 96 91 93 Mr. Knox said he had to consider the poor horses as well as the persons they belonged to, and if he had any feeling in the matter it was towards the poor animals. Mr. Cherry had stated that the horse was an old overworked horse, and that there were marks of severe flogging, and he relied on what he stated, having also seen the horse himself. The defendant was then fined 10s. and costs, altogether 235. 5 7 4 6 103 104 * P 20i 204 48 100 Mr. Love asked for the officer's costs, but Mr. Knox re fused the application. SPORTING IN7ELLIGENCE. TAT TER SALLS'—YE srs eDAY. The extreme fineness of the weather had an effect upon the attendance this afternoon, which for an off-day was the largest we have witnessed this season. Business was, how ever, entered into with little spirit, the transactions upon each of the events enumerated below just affording us an opportunity of compiling a list. -- - The only noticeable feature of the afternoon was the strong disposition to back Old Calabar for the Iwo Thousand Guineas and the Derby, 3 to 1 being repeatedly accepted about the former, and 10 to 1 to some money for the latter.

DRAKE'S HOUNDS. - - —• The sale of this celebrated pack touk place yesterday, at the Kennels, Stratton Audley, three miles from the railway station at Bicester, Oxfordshire, and nearly 2,000 persons had assembled in the paddock adjoining the stables before Mr. Tattersall began selling. The weather was most sus picious, a large number of masters of foxhounds were on the spot, and huntsmen followed in abundance. Af er par taking of a cold collation the gentlemen gathered round the railed arena, and business commenced. In less than two hours 54 couples of working hounds and 20 couples of puppies had realised 2,781 guineas; three brood bitches fetched 87 guineas, and 23 horses 1,494 guineas. Much regret was expressed at the retirement of Mr. Drake ; but the sorrow of the country gentlemen was alle viate i by the announcement that Captain Peyton, eldest son of Sir Henry Peyton, had taken the country.

DEATH OF ONE OF THE SUFFERERS- THIS DAY. This morning death terminated the sufferings of Edward. Hawley (inmate of King's College Hospital), whose tower 1 jaw was blown away by the explosion. Alorrissy is sill in a very precarious state, but the others are going on favourably. One of the assistants of Mr. Warr, before whose shop th e •itastrophe occurred, sustained a severe scalp wound at the time, but nothing serious was anticipated. Yesterday he became delirious, and has continued so up to the present time. MURDER IN FRANCE. The Court of Assizes of the Meuse, sitting at St. Mich el last week tried a man named. Vincent for the murder of Dr. Guyot, of Houdelain-court, in December. It appeared from the evidence that on the 26th of December Dr. Guyot, went to St. Geoire to a visit a patient, and, leaving his carriage there, he walked to Ribancourt, a neighbouring village, whence he returned to Geoire about six o'clock, and met at the entrance of the town a person named Brandel, whom he knew. They walked together along one street and then parted. A very short time after, the doctor's body was found lying in the street, with the head dreadfully mangled by blows with some heavy cutting in strument. As his watch and purse were found in his pockets, it was evident that vengeance, not robbery, was the motive of the crime. The next day a man named Cora pagnon, employed in repairing the roads, went to his supe rior in a state of great excitement, and told him that Vin cent, the prisoner, had confessed that he had murdered Dr. Guyot, and intended to kill Dr. Hanin. Vincent, who had already been suspected, was then arrested, and not only admitted that he had committed the crime, but ex plained his motives for the act. It seems that the prisoner belongs to a respectable family of St. Geoire, but has long ceased to have any intercourse with his parents or rela tions, living quite alone. Being afflicted with an incurable scrofulous disease, he brooded over it in solitude till he be came almost a maniac. Some time ago he consulted Drs. Guyot and Hanin, who succeeded in affording him a little relief, and he expressed his gratitude to them on several occasions. However, thinking their tr,4ttment too slow in its effects, he applied to a quack, who promised him a speedy and radical cure, and assured him that his doctors had adopted a wrong treatment. The prisoner then conceived the most violent animosity against his first medical advisers, and at last determined to avenge himself by murdering both of them. He accordingly sharpened his pickaxe, and purchased a pistol. On the 26th of Dec., finding that Dr. Guyo:, was at St.Geoire, he waylaid him, and starting from behind a wall he felled him to the ground with a plow of the pickaxe, and struck him repeatedly afterwards. When arrested he had a pistol on his person, and was actually waiting for an opportunity to shoot Dr. Hanin. In court, the prisoner persisted in his confession, and gave all the details with the utmost minuteness. His counsel argued that he was labouring under monomania. The jury having brought in a verdict of guilty, with extenuating circum stances, the court sentenced the prisoner to hard labour for life. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. ALNWICK, WOOLER, AND COLDSTREAM. It is proposed to construct a railway through Glendale, to connect those towns with the North-Eastern hallway, and it appears the Duke of Northumberland has given permis sion to the engineers to make the necessar3. surveys through his property for the proposed railway. Steps have been taken to make the surveys, wish the view of submitting the plans and sections to the Duke of Northumberland for his approval, and also to the directors of the North-Eastern Company. SCINDE. An extraordinary general meeting of this company is to be held on Tuesday newt, for the purpose of author icing the directors to raise a capital of £2,500,000, upon which the Secretary of State for India in Council has guaranteed in terest at 5 per cent. per annum to construct an extension line from the Punjaub Railway to Delhi, at which place it is to form a junction with the East Indian Railway. CHARING-CROSS. Yesterday operations were commenced by the contractors for the construction of the railway by the side of the north west wing of St. Thomas's Hospital, adjacent to the London Bridge terminus. Workmen are engaged in digging the foundations for the bridge which is to carry the line ever High-street, Southwark, and also on the other side of the road in Wellington-street, where an extensive block of buildings abutting on the church of St Sepulchre and the Borough market are being demolished to effect a junction with the portion of the line passing through Southwark to the Blackfriars-road. RAILWAY BILL. LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN.—The Lords of the Admiralty have given their assent to this company's ap plication to construct an embankment along the north-west side of the inner old harbour of Holyhead, from near the Royal Hotel to the company's station at the Packet-yard ; the land thereby reclaimed from the sea is to be used for the enlargement of the station and for quays and wharves, •n condition that the land and water frontage shall be leased to the railway for 21 years, at such rent as the Admiralty may determine, and providing that certain ape cifiea portions of the quays shall be set apart for the free use of the public. THE WEATHER.—NORWICH, Thursday.—The weather has been extremely cold and ungenial during the week, and fears have been excited s to the effects likely to be produced upon the fruit trees and vegetation generally. This morning some improvement is apparent. A few bright warm days are now much needed. THE BOILER EXPLOSION NEAR BILSTON.-An other of the sufferers died yesterday, making the 24th death. TRINITY TERM.—It is not generally known that, in consequence of the extension of the present term on ac count of the holidays, the next term will be extended five days. It will begin this year on the 27th of May, and end on the 17th of June. Last year Trinity Term began on the 22d of May and ended on the 12th of June. THE VOLUNTEERS AT BRIGHTON.—We are happy to be in a position to lay before our readers the fol lowing particulars, which may be relied upon, having been derived from an authentic and official source. It may be that circumstances will cause some slight deviation, but, as far as arrangements have yet been completed, the follow ing will be found to be strictly correct :—The various corps having arrived from London and elsewhere, and having " piled arms" at their rendezvous and broken off for re freshment, will, at 10 a.m., be summoned to their respec tive places of rendezvous by the firing of a gun on the Old Steine. This will be the signal for a general rendezvous and assembly. As soon after 11 a.m. as possible the corps are to march off the ground. The Sussex (Brighton) County and other Artillery will assemble in the Pavilion grounds on the West Lawn, near the Rookery, their guns t be close by, in the high road miming through the Pa vilion from north to south, The 22€1 (Queen's Westmin ster), Lord Grosvenor's regiment, will assemble on the Pavilion Eastern Lawn. The London corps are to proceed to the hill by way of the level and the Bear-mill-road; the Brighton and County corps from the East and West will march by way of the Marine-parade. The order is for the whole of the troops to assemble by 12 o'clock, or as soon after as possible, on the White-hawk-hill, in the order shown by the plan. Immediately after assembling upon the hill, the general officer in command, Lord Clyde, ac companied by his staff (the whole of whom will arrive in Brighton the Saturday previous to the review), will inspect the forces. After the inspection the whole of the corps will move off by the right flank on to the Racecourse and march past the Grand Stand—where Lord Clyde and his staff will be stationed—from north to south—thence descending the hill and taking [ osition in the White Hawk Valley, facing north. While the marching past is taking place a portion of the heavy artillery will be detached as a flank battery opposite the Stand. It will then be about 130 p.m., and the manoeuvres will commence upon an extended scale in the valleys and on the adjacent hills. '1 he whole of the carps are ordered to appear in review order, that is, in full dress. It will be seen by the above description that the spectators will have a fine view of the whole of the proceed ings, both of the review, marching past, and sham fight, from every part of the course, especially from the Stand, whence a fine amphitheatrical view will be obtained. W e are requested to state that, for the - afety of the public, a detective officer will be in attendance at the Brighton Grand Stand.—Brighton Gazette.

In England for the' last 30 years there has been more of constitutional liberty than there ever was before, and the reason is that the press, in consequence of the high tax upon newspapers, fell into the hands If men of intelligence and men of capital, men who had a stake in the community, and would do nothing to endanger the general welfare or kindle the fires of revolution. Of late the high tax has been removed, and cheap papers of a revolutionary character have sprung up like mushrooms, and the once respectable press contaminated now imitates them, in c , nsequence of the public taste having become vitiated and depraved. The re suit is that England is going rapidly down the hilt, and will soon be at the bottom. In France, the cheap press at the time of the Revolution, wielded by desperate demagogues like Marat, caused those frightful excesses which made the angels weep. In the last days of the reign of Louis Philippe it was the cheap press that revolutionised Paris and de throned that monarch. Louis Napoleon, fearing the same result in regard to himself, put a bridle in the mouth of the press and destroyed its freedom. It is a well ascertained tiuth of h story that in France a free cheap press cannot exist without producing revolution. Now, the true remedy which Napoleon ought to have applied, was that which was so long adopted in England, but is now unfortunately aban doned—taxation. And that is the remedy for the licenti ousness of the press in the United States. It ought to be taxed like whisky or an y o ther luxury, and such a price put on newspapers as will cause them to be read chiefly by intellectual men. The ( heap and nasty demagogic papers which now exist have done much to bring the coun try into its present deplorable condition. The true remedy for the evil, the true censorship, is a high tax upon public journals. Nothing will so tend to the purification of public morals.—New York Herald. A bronze statue, larger tnan life, has just been placed on a pedestal t em p o rarily in front o f t h e P a l a i s d e l'lndustrie, in the Ch amps Elysees. It rep resents B o i ssy d'Anglas, who occupied the President's chair in the Na tional Convention during the first revolution, when the mob forced the doors of the Assembly and presented to the President the bleeding head of the deputy Feraud, whom they had just murdered. Boissy d'Anglas raised his hat as a mark of respect to hie unfortunate colleague. He then resumed his seat, and by his firmness induced the intruders to withdraw. This terrible episode is represented in bronze on the pedestal. The statue is intended for the town of St. Jean-Chambre, in the Ardeche, where Boissy d'Anglas was born of ancient Protestant family. 52 4 1 1 1 3! 21 7 1 t ENGLAND AND _ITALY. A 1, letter from Turin, dated April 15, says—However strongly and inexoral ly warm the gratitude and hard ne cessity may, since 18 9, have wedded Italy to the French alliance, there is no doubt that an irresistible feeling is springing up, prompting the Italian people to do justice to the upwright intentions and disinterested sympathies of the English nation and Government. There are many reasons why England should he only partially and imperfectly known in this country. There are not very many Italians fully conversant with the English language, and, with the exception of a few political exiles, Italian travellers are seldom induced to prolong their stay beyond the Chan nel to gain a clear insight of British institutions and of the peculiarities of the Anglo• Saxon character. On the other hand, English tourists, even when they settle in some of the cities of the Penin sula for any length of time, live pretty much to themselves, frequenting the Courts or a few houses of the high nobility, and a certain amount of shyness, or even mutual repulsion, prevents their familiar intercourse with what may b© called the sound mass of the people. Most of the information the Italians gain on the subject of England and the English is obtained through the not very fair channel of the French press and literature. Not a few of the old French prejudices and exaggerations about Eng lish oligarchy, about the wretched poverty, the drunken profligacy, and the brutality of the lower classes, the sell- I ing of wives in the market-place, the venality of commis sions in the army and livings in the church, the hundred anomalies and monstrosities of the English body politic, linger still in force among half-educated Itaians. It is French knowledge secondhand, aggravated, too, by instinc tive abhorrence of anything heretical inculcated by tho priests in early training. It is very clear, however, that the Italians, who never meditated a descent upon the British coasts, who have no Waterloo to revenge, and who labour rather under ignor ance than settled animosity, entertain a vague but earnest admiration of a people whom they see no less peopling than subduing the earth, and their no leas warm than true in stincts inspire them with a strong wish really and inti mately to know that England about which they hear and talk so much, and with which they must needs acknow ledge their acquaintance is yet so indistinct. The short extracts of Lord Palmerston's speech in the House of Commons on Friday last, which reached Italy on Sunday evening by telegraph, produced a sensation which could not be easily described. Early in the morning of yesterday we had the London morning papers of Saturday, and beforo evening the substance of the long debate on Italian affairs which led to the Premier's remarkable speech was extensively known. The journals of this morn ing have already a few scraps of the salient points of that momentous debate, and I am told the whole short-hand report of the Times is now being translated, to appear word for word in the shape of a popular pamphlet. " Thanks to the noble advocates of the Italian cause in the Imperial British Parliament I" I hear every one say ing : "Thanks, too, to its ruthless enemies and traducers. Sir George Bowyer, Mr. B. Cochrane, Mr. Hennessy, and Mr. Maguire will henceforth rank very high in the list of our benefactors, for without their provocation so much sym pathy could hardly have been elicited from their eloquent opponents ; Mr. Layard, Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Duff, Mr. Milnes, and Lord Palmerston might hardly have had so good an opportunity of speaking out, and the House might have long waited for a chance of so clearly evincing its real leaning in the question." The English House of Commons has poured very balm on the wounds inflicted on Italian feelings by the narrow-minded, bigoted, jealous, unrighteous diatri bes and invee rives launched in the French Senate and House of Representatives against an unoffending people, into whose teeth the blood shed at Magenta and Solferino was thrown with a harshness betray ing the intent of turning a blessing into a curse. The cheering anticipations of two of Queen Vic oria's advisers with respect to a speedy and happy solution of the tantalising Roman ques tion bring kindly comfort to men worried and disheartened by that dark, fickle, and crooked policy which hints at the re call of Guyon, and ends by the removal of Lavalette. No doubt the Italians are too wise, most of them, to fancy that England will wage Nvar : against France to bring about by main force the occupation of their capital. They know well enough, or they will be clearly told, that the word "hopes" in English is often merely synonymous with " kind wishes." They can easily understand what is meant by the " settled policy" of England —a policy in the wisdom of which they may be easily made to acquiesce. They are aware, for their own demagogues of the French school have long been dinning it into their ears, that England never did, never will contribute " on e man or one s hilli ng " to the triumph of their cause, but they are not blind to the fact that free England is the ruler of European opinion, and that a prin ciple advocated by the E ng li s h press, proclaimed in the British Parliament, i s mora lly sure to prevail in the end. They have full faith that the real master of the situation in Italy, he that hesitates between the Pope and Italy —the Emperer Napoleon—is especially swayed by any voice ris ing against him on the other side of the Channel, and bent, by his own instinct of self-preservation, upon securing the goodwill of the English nation at any price. It may be easy for the Pays, the Patrie, or for some Parisian pam phleteer to sneer at the "moral support" of England ; but moral influence is a thousand times stronger than physical form in the lone run, and the italic -11 J feel that when Lo:a Palmerston predicted the speedy deliverance of their capital he spoke words that would not fall to the ground, words that it would not be easy for the leader of 500,000 bayonets to resist. Such are, as I can honestly assure you, and as you will readily believe, the feelings with which my Italian friends rise from a perusal of the English Parliamentary debate of last Friday; and it would do hearty good to any English man to see the countenances of these pe , ple beaming with a gratitude which no words can convey, to hear them asserting that "England has fully achieved her own share in the work of their emancipation—that she has in her turn fought her own Magenta and Solferino in their behalf." The Deputy Marliani, of Bologna, will in a few days leave Turin for London, charged with the negotiation of a treaty of commerce between the English and the Italian Governments. M. Marliani, a venerable patriot of the noblest character, is well known to most of the English leading statesmen. He lived many years in Spain, where he was a member of the Cortes, whence he was sent to fill the office of Spanish diplomatic representative at the Court of St. James's. He was, more lately, a great favourite with Count Cavour, who took him into his councils during those transactions which led to the campaign of Lombardy in 1859. M. Marliani accompanied the great Italian states man on his visit to Paris and London at the juncture, and enjoyed the fullest confidence, not only of the Count, but also of the most distinguished and influential persons both in the English Government and in the then Opposition. The Rattazzi Government undoubtedly continue to show a disposition to go the right way about the pacification of the Southern provinces. After appointing General Cosenz to the Prefecture of Bari, they, as you know, offered the same office to Bizio in the Basilicata, and it is now added they harbour a wish to send out General Turr as Prefect at Naples. It is quite sure that these generals, as being Gari baldi's own men, will be received with enthusiasm in those districts where the name of the Liberator is the object of actual worship ; and, at the same time, Cosens, Bixio, and Turr, as well as Sirtori, are equally stanch to the cause of order and of the Monarchy of Victor Emmanuel. They are men of tact and energy, and well know how to manage those Southern populations who ask no better than to have kind-hearted but strong and effi cient rulers over them. The only drawback is that Bixio is said to hesitate about accepting the offer that was made to him, and nothing is as yet known about Turr's intentions. Cosenz has already reached Bari, and has been welcomed with loud cries of " Viva Vittorio Emmanuel° I Viva Gariba di !" Rattaszi himself, who will go to Naples with the King, is sure of a warm reception, owing to the presumption that he is on the best terms with Garibaldi, as ho did not vote for the bill which made over Nice to France, and made the popular Italian hero a stranger in his own native place. Garibaldi is expected at Brescia, where preparations are being made for his arrival. The enthusiasm of all the other cities of Lombardy will be as nothing to compare with thal of the bravest and most patriotic of all Italian towns. Garibaldi will find among those far-famed " Brescian hearts" feelings congenial to his own. I see in some of the Italian papers serious charges brought against the new Ministers—l know not on what grounds —of favouritism and unfairness in the promotion of civil and military officers. We had here a vet) , early spring in March, and warm weather, almost summer-like, in the early days of this month, but the atmosphere cooled lately in consequence of long-continued rains, and we had yesterday a very sharp and heavy fall of snow, a ye' y unusual phenomenon in North Italy at this time of the year. All the fruit trees were already in blossom, and the forest trees were mantled with green. This morning was fine and bright, but wintry cold before sunrise. The report is still prevalent of an intended Russian loan, but from the best informed quarters nothing definite has yet transpired regarding it.

Last night a public meeting of the ratepayers and voters of Lambeth was held in the large room of the Horns Tavern, Kennington, to oppose the removal of th e tramway fromKennington Park to I'Vestminster-bridge. Mt. Hugh Wallace was called to the chair shortly after eight o'clock, when the room was filled by persons who seemed to take a lively interest in the matter. The CHAIRMAN was commencing the proceedings, when he was interrupted by cries of " You are not a ratepayer," and great uproar,in the midst of which IMr. Wall ace sa id h e was a ratepayer, and handed his card to a person who with very violent gesticu lation advanced to the platform, and demanded it. He then proceeded to say that he was a large rate payer, and connected with a large firm, whose place of business was not far from that spot. The only object he had in taking the chair was to pro tect the interests not only of the ratepayers but of the inhabitants of Lambeth. The question they were met to discuss was one which affected the in terests not only of the inhabitants of Lambeth but of the Whole of the metropolis, and, indeed, of the kingdom. (Loud cheers) The question was, tram way or no tramway. The vestry of Lambeth had given Mr. Train leave to construct a tramway for the general benefit of the public. Rightly or wrongly, they believed they had a legal right to do that, and he would say that, as it was not always they found the vestry on the side of the public, he hoped that when they were so, they would receive the unanimous and zealous support of the inhabitants in any further proceedings that might be requisite to sustain their rights, and the rights and interests of the poor which were threat eeed by recent proceedings against the tramway by uninterested parties. He would state that the vans of his own firm had daily passed over the tramway with precious goods without the slightest accident of any kind. That was a public meeting, not a packed one. Every one should have a fair hearing, and he hoped that the vestry and Mr. Train would be supported in their united endeavours to promot e the comfort and the convenience of the inhabitants at large. (Cheers.) For himself he had no pecuniary interest in the tramway beyond what any other traveller got by it, and he took the chair solely from a sense of public duty. (Cheers.) Mr. 11 1‘GmcnntsT said a quibble had been raised as to the eligibility of the chairman for his position. Now, he was not a ratepayer of Lambeth, but, as an inhabitant of tho metropolis, he claimed a right to speak on a question of domestic economy, the sanitary reform, and moral reform. If Mr. Train's tramway was carried out, as it ought to be, to the downs and wolds of Streatham, Brixton, and Clap ham, instead of stopping at Kennington Park, as at present, one great object of a late representative of that borough—of carrying the working classes into healthily-situated dwellings —would have a beneficial effect upon both their physical and their moral health. The resolution he had to propose was, " That this meeting is of opinion that the vestry had the right to enter into the contract with Mr. Train, and that they exercised that right for the interest and convenience of the parish. Therefore, this meeting pledges itself to sustain them in the exercise of that right." With respect to the legal question involved, he would only say that he deeply regretted the manner in which Mr. Train had been dealt with by a British jury. (Hear, hear, and oh, oh !) He regretted that any jealousies as to that gentleman being a foreigner should have been excited, and though he did not suppose that any decision that meeting might come to would in the slightest degree influence the judges to whom the legal questions at issue were referred, yet in this country public opinion was an influence which every public benefactor might fairly endeavour to enlist on his side. Mr. HENRETTE seconded the resolution, and strongly condemned the hostile animus which had been exhibited towards Mr. Train, an American, one of our cousins, who was now more than ever entitled to our friendship and sympathy. As to the value of the improvement he had introduced, there was a very simple method of dealing with those who had caused that interruption. Those who be lieved that Mr. Train's tram carriages were cheap, comfortable, safe, and convenient, would be good enough to hold up their :mule_ (Nearly the whole meeting answered this appeal.) Those who wished to clamber up to the top of, or get stifled in narrow and ill-ventilated old-fashioned omnibuses, hold up their hands. (Two hands were held up in the midst of shouts of derisive laughter. He thanked the meeting for that decisive settlement of the ques tion, so far as they were concerned, and heartily seconded the resolution. The CHAIRMAN, in introducing Mr. Bubb, a member of the Newington Vestry, to support the motion, said that they had been careful to exclude from all participation in the proceedings of that meeting members of the Lambeth Vestry, as well as the shareholders in the tramway, or persons int any way pecuniarily interested. (Hear, hear.) Mr. BtIDD having briefly spoken, The CHAIRMAN put the resolution, which Was carried with the same two dissentients, amidst loud cheers. Mr. FRANKLYN moved the second resolution, which was—" That this meeting is of opinion that vestrymen should not be held individually respon sible for acts done by them in their corporate capa city, and under their common seal, as such a respon sibility would deter respectable citizens from acting as vestrymen, and would be destructive to the rights and authority of all corporate bodies and local Go vernment." He was proud that this question had been raised in Lambeth, where the great majority were working men, always ready to come forward in support cf popular rights. It was of the utmost importance that the vestry should be sustained in the course they had taken. They ought to do more.. There was a bill in Parliament proposed by Mr. Ayrton, the member for another great metropolitan borough, the object of which was to promote the general formation of tramways on common roads, and he earnestly urged that they should petition Parliament in support of that bill. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Train was here recognised in the body of the meeting, and, in spite of the opposition of the chairman, was forced on the platform by the meeting and greeted with three cheers. Mr. HEALEY seconded the resolution. The for mation of iron roads on the common roads was one of the deepest interest to the working-classes. They had upwards of 10,000 miles of iron railway roads, and he saw no reason why they should not have 10,000 miles of tramways on common roads for general accommodation. Mr. Train. rH:eitairi.dl.ic Mr. GILES (a member of the Lambeth vestry) said, though not directly or indirectly connected had let with that meeting, he felt it necessary to correct a misapprehension which appeared to him to exist. It was supposed that the jury at Kingston had con victed Mr. Train, the foreigner, while they the vestry ,o 1 scot free. That was not the e ase. Upon an ex parte statement Mr. Train and twelve of the vestry were indicted for a conspiracy to obstruct the highway. He thought that the vestrymen had as d to as co m m r p . la T in ra o in f . the u hismwere o t u rr n ieg t a r ht y et on the occasion. plvreoceed further,and W ay in which they --Le was ashamed of Before the case was dciwitica quite ena gooavoi e cn r csats t i h toh e ne t t w o e their counsel that the w w h el e i th as er Mr t I S pecial jurymen said there Whol e of t , ngugledstiloien in was upon twelve vestrymen, as It v v judge gave leave to say Westminster The question would be tried in banes he hoped next week, and meantime Mr. Train had a right heard in his ow • • n defence by a British jury. (Hear, hear.) The resolution was passed, with the same two dissentients. Mr. WARWICK moved the next resolution, which was, " That this meeting is of opinion that the tramway is a great public convenience and advan tage, and supplies a deficiency long felt hitherto in this district, and that every effort should be made to secure its continuance." t againustpotnhethme suggestion The resolution was agreed to by the same over whelming majority, and a deputation was appointed to wait upon the vestry at their next meeting to communicate the resolutions passsd at the meeting. Mr. TRAIN then addressed the meeting, in t h e midst of tumultuous and enthusiastic cheers, and the proceedings closed with a vote of thanks to the chairman. ys : iss- ere Ind on hes .om ery cim een r of 7011, ans Lore In the !ne zral les. a are .r its We .ilVe the hip 'try •oes age ere: eet l , the the are 388&.
