The general bond for the amount of the Egyptian loan has been signed by Ismael Pasha, the Regent of Egypt, in the absence of the Viceroy. The power of attorney appointing Commissioners to sign the small bonds has been executed by the Viceroy him self in Paris, and it is said the bonds are likely to bo ready for issue about the 15th of June. A further supply of sovereigns, amounting to £400,000, was withdrawn from the Bank of Eng land yesterday on account of the Turkish loan, and it now appears that nearly £2,500,000 has been forwarded by the contractors> This efflux of specie is likely to be stimulated by shipments on account of the Egyptian and Russian operations lately negotiated in this country. The movement will no doubt exercise an important influence upon the tendency of the money market during the next few weeks. At present the rates of discount continue stationary, but notwithstanding the comparative quietude of the demand they exhibit firmness, and very little if any accommodation can be obtained under the Bank of England minimum of 3 per cent. Some of the discount firms are asking rather higher terms, and a large proportion of the securities brought forward is consequently taken to the na tional establishment. 7i 8 6 7 91 93 1071 101 6 6/ 1 2 5 6 41 43 10 11 21 22 55i 56i 58 60 38 40 stoc stock 100 55i i i I 100 89 91 291 301 102 104 140 145 114 115 tl2 1 13 132 134 [at; 105} 72i 73 55 58 108 108; 59 61 121 123 44 45 93i 61 99 100 40 45 40} 41i stoc] Paid all 1054 100 20, 724 1 100 1071 100 stoci stool 43 stool / 934 stool 20 99i 100 41 401 8; L2B . 128 i li lb 98 100 1271 P I Bt' 71 73 62} 62/ 132 i I 11 21 97 i 1 i 97 d 551 Mt 841 85 100 102 P bra 4sd 101 111 122 124 45 47 105 107 97 I 100 d - The Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon ex hibited no change requiring special notice.

His Honour—Are you awe you put down a half-crown ? Plaintiff—Yes; and defendant behaved very rudely to me. 102; 104; 5 41 His Honour —You went into the shop for some pills.

NOVEL AND IMPORTANT ACTION UNDER THE BANK RUPTCY ACT-DAMAGES £45--MOODY V. ARTHUR. This was a writ of enquiry sent down from the Court of Exchequer to assess the damages, laid at £3OO, for retain ing certain property, defendant having suffered judgment to go by default. _ _ Mr. Walter Butler, of Tooley-street, for the plaintiff. said the plaintiff was the assignee of a bankrupt named Fancourt, the defendant holding certain goods, which, of course, was, upon the bankruptcy, vested in the assignee. It would be proved that Arthur had sold the goods and pocketed the money. The goods consisted of some very valuable cases of insects, which the bankrupt had been many years in collecting, and which he had parted with to the defendant (under certain circumstances) at a time when he well knew he had no right to do so. It was by the merest chance that the knowledge of these goods came to the plaintiff, and in fact the bankruptcy was nearly if not quite over when the facts came out. Ile (Mr. Butler) would read to the court certain passages from the examina tion taken at the Bankruptcy Court, and then prove the case generally. After hearing the document read, the learned Secondary directed the jury, who assessed the damages at £45. POLICE-THIS DAY. BOW-STREET, THIS DAY. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE AGAINST A. SOLICITOR.—A gentlemanly-dressed man named John O'Brien was brought up on a warrant charging him with having, on the 23d of May inst., written and published a false, malicious, and scandalous libel against James Graham Lewis, of the firm of Lewis and Lewis, 3, Ely-place, Holborn. Mr. Giffard appeared for the prosecution, and the defen dant con lucted his own cause, although a solicitor was in attendance on his behalf. Mr. Giffard, in opening the case, s a id th a t i n November, 1861, the prisoner file d a bill in Chancery, in which he com plained of a variety of transactions between himself, as client, and the Messrs. Lewis, as his attorneys, stating that they had kept back moneys which they ought to have paid him, they putting in an answer which extended to a great length, after which the defendant obtained leave to with drawthe c charges es itamend thefirst his billbill of except onecomplaint, and struck out all which related to a sum of £3OO. The proceedings in the Chancery Court were still pending, and the defendant, instead of carrying on as he had a perfect right to do, adopted the course o writing libellous letters charging the Messrs. L ew i s w ith perjury and embezzlement, a nd sending those letters to many per sons which was calculated to do them serious damage in their profession as solicitors. On the 23d of May the defendant wrote to Mr. James Pheneas Davis, solicitor, of Clifford street, Bond-street, the letter contained charges against the Messrs. Lewis, and on the following day he also wrote Mr. William Bishop, the gunsmith of Now Bond street—directing the letter to the Archbishop of Bond • street—a letter of the same injurious description. It had also come to the knowledge of the Messrs. Lewis that letters of a similar description had been transmitted to Mr. Abraham, a solicitor, of Bloomsbury-square, who was now present, but who was unwilling to give those letters up, though probably he would do so under magisterial pres sure. Of course it was of the grea est importance to the Messrs. Lewis that the system should at once be put a stop to, and the present proceedings were instituted for that purpose. The learned eentleman then called. Mr. William Bishop, who said—l km a gunsmith, carry ing on business in New Bond-street. A few days ago I re ceived a letter addressed to the Archbishop of Bond-street. It was written by the defendant. lam enabled to say so because I am familiar with his handwriting. The letter was handed in and read. It contained a num ber of offensive observations applicable to the Messrs, Lewis, charging perjury and embezzlement, and threaten ing them with revenge. Mr. William Frederick Hobrow said-1 am managing clerk to Mr. James Phineas Davis, solicitor, who resides at 15, Clifford-street, Bond-street. I was present when Mr. Lewis opened the letter I produce. It is signed John O'Brien. The letter, after being identified by Mr. Bishop as being in the handwriting of the defendant, was then read. It contained similar charges to those mentioned in the letter produced by the first witness. Mr. Samuel Benjamin Abrahams, solicitor, of No. 7, Bloomsbury-square, said—l have in my possession many letters from the prisoner; but I have been subpoenaed to produce two letters by the Messrs. Lewis. I have a great _ disinclination to producing them. However, lam entirely in your worship's hands. - Mr. Henry—l think you had better produce them. The letters were then handed in. Mr. Da vis—l showed the letters to Messrs. Lewis. I did so as I thought it was the wish of the defendant I should do so. If I had thought they would have been made use of in this manner, it is but fair to say I should not have done so. One of the letters handed in was read. It was similar in effect to the two mentioned above. It contained imputa tions of perjury. Defendant—Did you ever speak to me about making a compromise with Messrs. Lewis ? Mr. Abrahams—The subject of a compromise was dis cussed. Mr. Giffard—Let's have it all out, Mr. Abrahams. Mr. Abrahams—As a mutual friend of both parties I thought it best the litigation should end. I found that Mr. O'Brien was not opposed to such a course, but Messrs. Lewis were resolutely determined against such a proceed. ing. Defendant—Did I ever authorize you to offer any terms? Mr. Abrahams—No ; certainly not. I acted simply as a volunteer. I don't say for a moment that you did. Mr. Giffard—Mr. Lewis is now in court. He was not at the commencement of the hearing. Mr. Henry—Do you wish to call him ? Mr. Giffard—l do not ; bat if the defendant wishes I will put him into the witness-box. Dafendant—l wish to cross-examine Mr. Lewis. Mr. James Graham Lewis, of Ely-place, was then sworn, and the prisoner put a series of questions to him relative to the action pending in Chancery between himself and the defendant. Mr. Henry—l don't wish to atop the cross-examination, but I may as well inform you that the present investigation has nothing to do with the proceedings in Chancery. The only question I have to deal with is whether you have published a defamatory libel. The defendant having put a few more questions, took the advice of the magistrate, and desisted. Sergeant Robinson of the Detective force, said—l appre hended the prisoner last evening in the Strand. I asked him if his name was Mr. James O'Brien. He said it was. I then told him that I was a police-officer, that I held a warrant for his apprehension on a charge of libel. I then took him to the station. Mr. Henry—l shall send this case for trial, but I will accept bail, viz., two sureties for £2OO, and your own recog nisance for £4OO for his appearance at the sessions. Tho defendant said he would be ready w ith the required bail as soon as possible.

The complainant said the defendant had frequently ill used her, and after being out all Saturday night, he came home at 10 on Sunday morning, and dragged her down a flight of stairs and kicked her till she was insensible, and while in that state she was told that he kicked her again. The Clerk asked how she got such a bad eye (it was fear fully discoloured), and the complainant said it was the effect of one of the prisoner's kicks. Mrs. Mary Barton proved seeing the prisoner kick the complainant several times, and drag her down a flight of stairs in a most brutal manner. She had often seen the prisoner kick the young woman, who was well conducted, and assisted him in his work. Mr. Edward L ewis, of Great Marlborough-street, f o r the prisoner, said he did not mean to deny the assault, or that the poor woman had been ill-used, but if the prisoner was sent to prison she would have her means of support cut off. He thought if a remand were granted some settlement be tween the parties might be come to. Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was just one of those brutal cases they often heard of. He should commit the prisoner for • two months with hard labour, MENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS—Tuis DAY. The SPEAKER took the chair shortly after 12 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The South-Eastern Railway (Tunbridge and Dartford Lines) Bill was read a third time and passed. The following bills were considered, and ordered to be read a third time :—Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee, and ife and Kinross Railway Companies ; Lor.don and North- Western Railway and Chester and Holyhead Railway (Capital) ; Red House and Weeland Roads; Stockton and Darlington, South Durham and Lancashire Union, &c., Railway Companies; and Wellington, Drayton, and New castle Railway. _ PETITIONS. Petitions were presented by Mr. M'Mahon and several other Irish members, in favour of the Fisheries (Ireland) Bill. FISHERIES (IRELAND) BILL. Mr. M'MAHON moved the second reading of this bill, the object of which, he said, was simply to assimilate the law respecting the inland and sea fisheries of Ireland with those of England. There was fish on the coast of Ireland sufficient to feed three times the population of that country, and yet at the present time a large portion of the people of that country were starving. The fact was the Irish fisheries were totally neglected, while fish was imported into that country in large quantities from Scotland. Several causes have been assigned for this, but the real cause was the bad laws which regulated the Irish fisheries. Until they were restrained by act of Parliament from fishing freely as they were wont to do, there was abundance of fish of every kind caught on the Irish coast. In the middle of the seventeenth century the Irish were not only able to procure a sufficient supply of fish for themselves, but to compete with the Dutch in their own markets. In 1654 there was a larger quantity of fish cured in the town of Wexford alone than there were in 1813 in the whole of the empire, so that there was no doubt when let alone the Irish ,fisheries were prosperous, but such had been the consequence of the interference of Parliament, that, while in the year 1731 Ireland exported 21,000 barrels of herrings, in 1834 she exported none, but, on the contrary, she imported 149,000 barrels. In 1785 an interference took place with those fisheries in the shape of a new description of trawling, and a consolidation took place of all the worst portions of the Acts of Parliament respecting the Irish fisheries. From that time, therefore, the Irish fisheries decreased, and instead of exporting fish they became im porters, and that to such an extent that tor the twenty years previous to 1860 the average yearly importation of herrings into Ireland was 127,000 barrels ; and in 1834 they imported from Scotland alone 121,000 barrels of herrings. The hon. member then proceeded to detail the restrictions placed on the Irish fisheries, from which the English fisheries were entirely free, and which he ascribed as the cause of the failure of the fisheries in the former country. It was the object of the measure, therefore, to remove these restric tions, and place the fishery laws of the two countries on a similar footing, in terms of the report of the Irish Fishery Commissioners; and he concluded by asking the house to allow the measure to be read a second time. NEW MEMBER. Colonel WHITE here took the oaths and his seat for the borough of Kidderminster, in room of Mr. Bristow, who has accepted the office of Secretary to the Admiralty. The hon. member was introduced by Mr. Brand and Mr. Beamish. Lord FEItMOY then resumed the debate on the Irish Fisheries Bill, stating that he considered a bill on so im portant a measure as this ought not to be left in the charge of a private member, but should be taken up by the Go vernment. The consequence of the executive Govern ment not doing so was, that the time of the house was taken up with discussions which resulted in nothing, while the Government, instead of helping on and forward ing measures for the good of Ireland, prevented and ob structed such measures from being carried out. He thought the hon. and learned gentleman was wrong in bringing up the deep sea fisheries and the salmon fisheries in one bill, and he thought, moreover, that Irishmen were too apt to depend on legislation for the development of the resources of their country. He would rather have them rely on the maxim that heaven helped them that helped them selves ; and the Bay of Dublin being at present fished by Cornish fishermen, who made a good living by doing so, afforded a moral which he hoped his countrymen would see the meaning of, which was, that were they to show the same industry and perseverance they could do the same, and there would be no necessity for having recourse to Cornish men to fish the Bay of Dublin. He did not admit that the system of state cranes and bag nets had been' the means of diminishing the quantity of fish caught in Ireland, as he found, from returns which he had procured from the London fish market, that while up to the month of May in the year 1861 the quantity of salmon brought into the London market from Ire land was 3,647 boxes, the quantity brought into the same market up to the month of May in the present year was 5,783 boxes, being an increase of nearly 30 per cent. He, however, protested against a measure of this nature being in the hands of a private member, and ho should move as an amendment that it be be read a second time that day six months.
