Two O'CLOCK. The annual meetiing of the Provincial Bank of Ireland took place to-day—Sir. W. Minto T. Far quhar, Bart., M.P., in the chair. The directors' report, which was unanimously adopted, referred at some length to the distress in Ireland which had prevailed since 1859, through the disease in the potato crop, the scarcity of fuel, and the inactivity of business in the linen trade, occasioned by the AmeAcan war, but notwithstanding this adverse state of things, the bank had made satisfactory progress, and the directors were enabled to recom mend a dividend at the rate of 20 per cent. The amount of " rest " in last year's accounts amounted to £251,693 Bs. 5d., out of which had been deducted for dividend, &c., &e., £143,693, to which has been added during the year from the profits of the bank £111,355 lls. 4d., making the "rest" now £255,048 19s. 9d. Itt was now recommended to pay an ex traordinary dividend of 30s. on each £lOO share, and 12s. on each £lO share of the capital stock of the bank, in addition to the ordinary dividend of 4 per cent., making the am ount to be then paid £2 10s on every £lOO share, and £1 on each £lO share for the half-year ending midsummer next. A vote of thanks to the directors and officers of the bank concluded the proceedings. Very little business has been transacted in the Consol market to-day, either on speculative account or for investment, and extreme quietude conse quently prevailed.

HYDROPHOBIA. —About six weeks ago a mad dog was killed, wh ch had first bitten some other dogs in the districts, north• east of our city, including Brownstown, Oreenridge, and Sandford's-court. The bitten dogs having since manifested symptoms of hydrophobia have been from time to time destroyed, but unfortunately not . before s ome pigs and even a gander had been bitten by some of rture, them. but some A few of the pi gs and the gander died in great to of the pigs seem to have been saved by a timely cauterisation of the wounds. The l=ast victim was a valuable pony, belonging to a farmer of the district, which wag, in a week after rece iving the bit e, suddenly seized ploughing and having bitten itself a with the disease whil s t in a frightful manner, and attempted to tear e ver y one w h o approached it was , ,of course, destroyed by its owner.— Zilkenny Moderator. -r, SHARE MARKET---THIS DAY ORDINARY SHARES AND STOuII.S.

(Before Mr. Justice Willes.) CHARG4 OF ATTEMPTING TO POISON. An application was made to the Court on the part of Constance Wilson, who was charged with administering oil of vitriol to Sarah Carroll, so as to endanger her life, for a postponement of the trial till next sessions, on the ground that there had not been sufficient time to prepare the defence. Mr. Ribton, who was engaged for the prosecution, did not object to the postponement. The application was granted. UTTERING OF PORGED SCOTCH NOTES. Mary Burnes, 45, was indicted for feloniously uttering two forged one pound notes of the National Bank of Scot land, with intent t , defraud John Matthews. On the 29th of April the prisoner went up to a policeman in Leadenhall-street, and asked him where she could get some Scotch notes changed, and he directed her to the shop of Mr, Matthews. She then proceeded there and produced the notes in question, which turned out to bo a portion of a number of blank impressions stolen from the premises of Messrs. Perkins and Bacon, the engravers, of Fleet-street, the names of the secretary and other officials of the hank being forged to them. The suspicions of Mr. Matthews being aroused, he asked the prisoner whore she got them from, when she said that she had brought them with her from Edinburgh about nine months ago in a box with a quantity of other articles. On a police officer being sent for she varied her statement as to how she became possessed of the notes, saying that she got them from a man of the name of M'Donald in the street. W hen the officer told her that ho knew a person of the name of Jack M'Donald, prisoner said his name was not Jack, but Joe. The last version she gave of how she got the notes was, that a young man in Glasgow had given them to her. Mr. Bacon's evidence was to the elect that a number of impressions of note-plates had been stolen from their pre mises, and that it was impossible for the prisoner to have had them in her possession fcr nine month?, as they had been printed during the present year. The Secretary and Manager of the Bank proved that the sign& ures were forgeries. The jury returned a verdict of guilty. A former conviction, in the year 1854, was produced against the prisoner for felony. Mr. Justice Willes having consulted Mr. Baron Channell, sentenced her to four years' penal servitude. On hearing the sentence the prisoner exclaimed, in an agonising tone, " Oh my poor children." NEW COURT. (Before Baron Channell.) UTTERING A FORGED NOTE. Charles Patterson was indicted for uttering a forged £5 Bauk of England note. From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner entered the shop of a Mr. Wright, a checsemonger, at Camberwell, and asked for change for a five pound note, saying that he had been sent there by Mr. Searle, an auctioneer, Having suspicions against prisoner, Mr. Wright told him he would accompany him to Mr. Searle's to ascertain whether his statement was true. The prisoner said he was quite agreeable, and they both went out to go to Mr. Searle's. The prisoner managed to got Mr. Wright to enter Mr. Searle's premises first, but immediately his back was burned Patterson ran off. A cry of stop thief was raised, and the prisoner was stopped. On being taken into custody another fictitious note for £5 was found on his person. The jury found the prisoner guilty. Sentence deferred.' PARLIAIILENTARY DIVISION. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-MAY 14.

John Cox, an excavator, was indicted for attempting to murder his wife. The prosecutor said she resided in Whitechapel, and on the night of the 14th April the prisoner came home about twelve o'clock at night in a beastly state of intoxication, and in a short time after he began to quarrel, and then he wrenched a leg out of a wooden arm-chair, and commenced beating her about the head in a very savage manner. She called out for help, but the more she implored for mercy the more he beat her. After he had beaten her with the leg of the chair, he took up a flat iron and struck her a blow, which produced insensibility. On coming to she found the police in the house, and then she was conveyed to the London Hospital, and the prisoner was secured by the police. The stepdaughter of the prisoner corroborated the evi dence of her mother. Tho police-constable said when he took tho prisoner into custody he told him he had nearly murdered his wife, and said it was a good job, and he'd , odo for her completely before long. _ The prisoner, who was undefended, said his wife had aggravated him to a very great degree by calling him names and pulling his nose and whiskers, before he struck her. They had both been out drinking, and she was as much in fault as he was. The prosecutrix was recalled by the learned judge, and said the whole of the statement of the prisoner was false. The jury found the prisoner guilty of feloniously wound ing his wife, with intent to do grievous bodily harm. The Learned Judge said it was a most brutal assault, and he sentenced the prisoner to five years' penal servitude. FOURTH COURT. LIBEL, The case of Mr. Matthews Orr, editor and proprietor of the Eentisk Journal, published at Woolwich, who stands indicted for publishing a false and scandalous libel on Mr. Alex.

POLICE-THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH .STREET, THIS DAY. MURDEROUS ASSAULT BY AN APPRENTICE.—George Hall, of No. 6, Queen-street, apprentice to Mr. Myrthell Brunswick, manufacturer of inlaid furniture, 126, Newman street, was charged with assaulting his master by striking him on the head with a hammer. Mr. Brunswick, who had a bandage over his eye, said that the prisoner, his apprentice, was complained of to him by his foreman that morning on account of not working properly for somo days. He spoke to the prisoner, who be came very impertinent, and he (Mr. Brunswick) gave him a slight slap on the ear. Upon this the prisoner drew up a hammer and struck him a severe blow with it in the eye. He gave the prisoner in charge, and then went and had his eye examined and dressed by a surgeon, who said had the blow taken effect a quarter of an inch higher he would have lost his eye, and the wound have been dangerous. In answer to Mr. Knox, the prosecutor said the lad was in the third year of his apprenticeship. Ho had not worked properly, and he had stopped some of his pocket money, and prisoner said he would not work. _ . .. Mr. Knox said he feared if he sent the prisoner to prison as an ordinary offender, and he got among the vagabonds in the House of Correction, he would be ruined for life. He would send him to the House of Detention for a week, and at the end of that time he would come to some decision on the case. A CASE FOR THE DIVORCE COURT.—AN UNHAPPY PAIR.—Mrs. Caroline Byrne, of 7, Leicester-place, was cnarged with threatening the life of her husband, Mr. Ed win Byrne, mantle -maker. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-srreet, ap peared for Mr. Byrne, and said that the defendant had been summoned, but on the summons being presented to her she tore it up, and repeated the threats against her husband, and, therefore, a warrant had been applied for. The com plainant was a mantle-maker. The defendant had for some time given way to habits of intemperance, and she had threatened to run a knife through her husband, and to smash out his brains. She had assaulted her husband, and dragged him about the house by the hair of his head, thrown a large pair of scissors at him, nearly stripped him, and then turned him out of the house. He would call Mr. Byrne, and also one of the officers of the court, who would speak of the defendant's violence. Mr. Byrne then deposed that his wife had threatened to stab him, and tried to throw a saucepan of hot broth over him, dragged him all over the kitchen by the hair of his head, and tore off his clothes, so that he was obliged to wrap a cloak round him. She had also broken some of the panels of a door. He applied for a summons, and on the officer serving her with it, she again threatened him, and also said that she would set fire to the house. On many occasions she had taken up a knife, and once she had bitten his arm severely, and was sentenced to two months' imprisonment, but he interceded for her and got her off. Mr. Byrne denied part of her husband's statement, and said her husband had frequently struck her. Henry Barns, the gaoler, said he served the summons on the defendant. Ho had known the parties for some years. He persuaded her to make peace, but she rushed out of the ro)m, and said she would do for her husband before night.

Sir H. WILLOUGHBY gave notice that he would call the attention of the house to circumstances connected with this subject, and that he would ask for some information in relation thereto. THE SLAVE TRADE. Mr. BUXTON asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what steps the Government had taken to wards the punishment of the parties privy to the fitting out for the slave trade, in Liverpool, in Nov., 1860, of the slaver Nightingale ; what had been the result of the application which Earl Russell instructed Sir Arthur Magenis to make to the Portuguese Minister for the Colonies on the 14th of August last, relative to the practice of sending slaves, as domestic servants, by the Portguese mail steamers and other conveyances from the province of Angola to the neighbouring island of St. Thomas, under the representation of their being the pro perty of passengers going there: What answer had been returned to the recommendation made to Senior Collantes at Madrid, by Sir John Crampton, on the 10th of December last, at the request of Earl Russell in his de spatch to Sir John Crampton of the 12th of November preceding, that, with a view to suppress the slave trade to Cuba, the slave trade should be declared piracy, and the misters, crew, and all concerned in the navigation of slavers, be subjected to martial law, a recommendation made by the present Captain General of Cuba : What reply had the French Government returned to the representation Earl Russell instructed Earl Cowley to make to it on the 19th of December last, relative to the continued shipment, as engages, of slaves from the Comoro islands to Reunion and other French pos sessions, " contrary to the orders of the French Government, and also in violation of the engagements contracted by that Government towards the Government of her Majesty on the subject :" and, what explanations had Mr. Consul Sunley, at Johanna, tendered on the subject of his employ stthemevfifrrsosets question, e s p ti r o o n - 2 ment of large numbers of slaves on his sugar plantations in reply to Earl Russell's communication on that matter ioolnlect slaves at the sth of November last, and in consequence i g t r o a t o o f M. Th ou mAnthjoeuCaon: vends complaint, that while Mr. Sunley h t e h the does Frenchnot scrupleim m sec o u ro t i o s n le o s, f with the consent of the chiefs, and to Mr. LAYARD said, with respect t i l y employ them on his own account. the vessel alluded to was sailing a nd there was nothing to justify her Majesty's officers de taining her. From the information received subsequent to l eav i n g Liverpool it was di and she had been scoverel that she was a slaver, seized. With regard to the second question, he regretted to say that a considerable slave trade had Thomas. Hersprunglip between Portugal and Island of St. Majesty's eeG Government had made representa tions to the Portuguese Government which he trusted would lead to th e latter adoptingbs steps to put an end to the slave trade alluded to. As related to the third question he was sorry to say the Spanish authorities countenanced the slave traffic in Cuba, and th e G over nment of this country had made fresh remittances to the Spanish Government on the subject, which he trusted would be attended with beneficial results. With respect to the next question, Lord Cowley had been instructed to make representations to the French Govern ment on the subject, who had issued a commission to inquire into the matter. Considering the French Emperor's desire to put an end to the slave trade, he hoped his Government would take the steps necessary to carry out the desire of the Emperor. In reference to the last question he wished to say that he had received information from Mr. Consul Sunley on the subject. That gentleman was a man of great humanity. He employed 300 slaves on his plantations, but so far as he was concerned they were free and paid for their labour. (The hon. member read a letter from Consul Sun_; ley, which was to the effect which he h ad j ust stated. II added that the slaves on his estate were under no circum co s tences compelled to work. However, i t Was u nder tified deration of Government how far Consul Smiley wasrus in employing slave labour. THE BOY THOMAS CONVICTED AT MAID STONE. Mr. DIGBY SEYMOUR asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether 11 , s attention had been called to a statement in the newspapers that a child o f the name of Thomas, aged nine years, was lately "fined S 6 Us. by a bench of magistrates at Maidstone for ' being found in possession of a snare for catching rabbits, and in default of payment was sent to prison for three months; whether he had taken steps to ascertain the facts of the case; and particularly, whetter any evidence was laid be fore the magistrates to show that the child was acting at the instigation or was under the control of others? Sir G. GREY said that the chairman of the bench of magistrates had been communicated with by the Home office, aid had made a report on the subject. From that report it appeared that there was no doubt the offence with which the boy was charged had been committed. The magistrates in considering the amount of fine to be in flicted on the boy were influenced by their knowledge of the fact that he was the instrument of his parents, and that members of that family had been frequently fined for similar offences, and actually lived by poaching. The fines inflicted on that family within a certain time amounted to £24, which were paid. The fine on the boy in question was paid the morning after he was imprisoned by his mother, and she said she would have pa d the amount had it been three times as largo. (Laughter.) THE C.',D STRAL SURVEY. Sir F. lIEYGA.TE the Secretary of State f)r War, whether it was the int.7r:Vor, of the Government to act Upon the report of the survey Committee ; and, if so, whether he would ht;;,; in a supplementary estimate till, session, to enable their :•ccommendation to be carried into effect. Sir G. LEWIS said that he bad not come to any cm elusion on the subject ; but he might state that he had not any intention to bring in a supplementary estimate to carry out the recommendation alluded to. THE BREHON LAW PUBLICATION. Mr. STIRLING asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland what progress had been made with the Brehon Law Publi cation : and, whether the surviving editor, Mr. Curry, is prepared to continue the work. Sir IL PEEL said that the papers in the publication in question had been translated, and that the Government had communicated with the eminent philological scholar alluded to on the subject. THE BRITISH MUSEUM. Mr. GREGORY asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, before the second reading of the bill for the re moval of certain collections from the Brttish Museum, he would be able to givethe house anestitnate of the cost of the alterations of the present structure of the British Museum and of the proposed addition, and of the cost of the building and fitting-up of the propoposed New Museum of Natural History at Kensington. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCIIRQUER replied in the affirmative. DELHI AND LUCKNOW PRIZE MONEY.

A special general adjourned meeting of the directors and shareholders was held to-day at the company's offices, at the Waterloo station, Captain Mangles in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said of the three bills that stood over for consideration at their last meeting only one was in a suffi ciently forward state to be submitted to the shareholders this day. That bill gave power to the company to authorise the construction of a railway from Weymouth to the Isle of Portland, an I to extend the Wilts Somersiq Railway to the Harbour. The line would be about tour miles and a half in length ; but including branches and. tramways it would extend to about six miles, By the agreement already in existence it was arranged that the line should be constructed by an tidependent company, and when completed that it sh.c.ald be leased to the Great Western and South Western companies, to be held by them conjointly, each company paying £2,250 per annum for the same, free of all deductions. The chairman concluded byproposing a resolution, approv , ing of the said bill, The motion was then agreed to unanimously, and the meeting was then further adjourned until the 29th inst. A special general meeting was then held to consider a bill to authorise the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway to make certain new lines of railway in the coun ties of Surrey and Sussex. The CHAIRMAN explained that the object of the railway was to improve the connection with the West London Ex tension, Crystal Palace, South Western, and London and Chatham and Dover lines, and to enable the South Wes tern Company to make arrangements for working over those lines. The bill was merely permissive, there being at present no arrangements going on with those companies. A formal resolution was then submitted to the meeting, approving of the bill, which was agreed to unanimously. The CHAIRM4N said the other bill, No. 2, which wa■ for the making of a railway and harbour in the county of Devon, to be called the Sidmouth Railway and Harbour, was not yet in a sufficiently matured state to be submitted to the consideration of the proprietors. The meeting then adjourned. HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (From the Registrar-General's Weekly Return.) The deaths in London in the week that ended on Saturday were 1 , 249 ; t he y were less than they had been in many pre vious weeks, The average number of deaths as derived from the returns of corres p o nding weeks in ten previous y ears (cor rected) is 1,22 4 . The mortality, ther e f ore , st ill exh ibit s an excess over the estimated amount; but in the present instance the excess is not consider able.

But scarlatina prevailed for the most part in the South districts ; and its chief seat continues to be the sub-districts of Lambeth Church, in the second of which there were 7 deaths last week. These 7 deaths, added to those of five previous weeks, give a total number of 70 in that portion of the Lambeth district. Seven teen deaths from typhus occurred in the London Fever Hospital.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, an d the short exchange on London is 25.271 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. Mel. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 4-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.
