MONEY MARKET. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Bank of England return, completed to the 28th instalit, exhibits some rather unfavourable features. The bullion has been trenched upon, to some extent, while the other securities show a con siderable addition. In the reserve of notes, how ever, there is a slight increase, and the public deposits have been augmented by the active collec tion of the revenue. The various items, and the changes they present, are shown in the subjoined table : Active Circulation Decrease .. Bullion ~ .. Decrease ..

Tea at public sale has declined about 3d. to 6d. per lb., 'while sugar and coffee have scantily sustained pre vious quotations. Rice, however, has been in fair demand at steady rates. Fruit and spices have remained dull. At the public sales of Spanish indigo, good and fine qualities have realised an advance. Saltpetre has continued inactive. Tallow has been quiet, and prices for both present and forward delivery have slightly receded. On the Great Western Railway of Canada the traffic receipts for the week ending the 16th inst., amounted to £8,955 against £7,490 last year. The traffic receipts of the Ottoman Railway, for the week ending the 18th inst., exhibited an in crease of £72. Increased activity prevailed in the Liverpool Cotton m arket yesterday, and prices were again rather higher'. The sales were 10,000 bales. The bullion operations at the Bank of England yesterday were again of an unimportant character. The Hammonia, from New York, has brought £38,430 in specie, and the Oneida, from the Brazils, has arrived at Lisbon with £9,286. The money market is rather easier, first class bills being negotiable, today, at 21 per cent., and the banks and private discount houses exhibit a greater willingness to transact business. The market for American Securities during the past week i haen moderately active. Messrs. D. Bell, Son, and Co. state that— ,, There has been, during the past week, a good demand for A.Lnerican Securities generally ; but more particularly for the United States Five per Cent. Bonds of 1847, in *which there have been some large transactions." CITY NEWS---THIS DAY. Two O'CLocK. The twenty-first annual meeting of the lonian Bank was held to-day. Mr. 011iver Ferrer in the chair. The directors' report recommends a dividend of 6 per cent. per annum. The Chairman moved the adoption of the report, and said that the past year had been the most favourable since the com mencement of their operations. An addition had been made to the reserve fund, amounting to nearly the same sum set asidelastyear. A failure had taken place at one of their agencies, which amounted to £1,600, but £l,OOO of that sum had been provided for by the directors. The progress of the bank led the managers to hope that in the course of another year they would be able to make a distribution among the proprietors in addition to the usual dividend. The motion was unanimously carried, and the directors who retired by,rotation re-elected. There has been a meeting to-day of the Trust and Loan Company of Upper Canada. The direc tors' report, which was adopted, gave the net profits for the six months ending the 31st March at £14,820 0.. za., added to the sum brought forward from September, made a balance at credit of revenue of £14,880 109. A dividend at the rate of 61 per cent. per annum, less income-tax, was therefore declared. It was also resolved that one half of the surplus profits aver 6 per cent. per annum, and the usual charge for interest, amount. ing together to £3,962 15s. 7d., be carried to the reserve fund, in accordance with the provisions of the royal charter of inorporation ; and that £5OO be applied to the redemvtion of preliminary expenses. There will then retrain the sum of £42 14s. sd. to the credit of the next half-year's accounts. An improveromt of per cent. has taken place an the market br English Securities, Consols being 931- I for transfer, and 92 3 / /, less the dividend, for account. Parchases have preponderated, and a better feeliig has been engendered by the easier tone of themoney market.

This bankrupt was described as a vocalist, and came up to-day upon the question of his last examination and dis charge. This was an in forma pauperis petition, and Mr. Aldridge, the Crown Solicitor, did not offer any opposition. The bankrupt said he cluld not recollect when he was arrested, but thought it was two months ago. He did not recollect the name of the creditor who arrested him, but it was upon a bill which he endorsed fer a person of the name of Brooks, at Liverpool, about ten years ago. Mr. Aldridge—You don't appear to have a very reten tive memory. Bankrupt—Yes, I have; but I am net accustomed to these matters. Commissioner—You have been in difficulties. Bankrupt—Yes, and I have lost engagements through it. I have done nothing for two months. The Commissioner hoped it would be a caution to the bankrupt nut to put hi■ sauna to a hill again. Bankrupt—That I won't, not for my own brother. The Commissioner—You are discharged. The usual order was thEn given. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr and a Common Jury.) ♦ PUNCTUAL I-UDC/E.-A. SCENE IN COURT. To-day was an old Sheriffs' Court day, and the causes had been sent down from the superior Courts for trial. At about five minutes to 10 the jury were called, and at pre cisely ten o'clock the judge took his seat. The first cam) was called and the plaintiff answered, informing the Court that his counsel would be " here in a minute" Mr. Kerr—Strike it out. One of the officers recommended that it should stand over for a minute or two. His Honour (looking at tho clock, then two minutes past ten.) No. Strike it out. Call the next, Officer—Rapp v. Andrews. Mr. Gibbons—l am here for the defendant. His Honour—Does any one answer for the plaintiff. No answer being returned, his Honour said " you may go, gentlemen." (Laughter.) It was now three minutes past ten, and his Honour hastily left the judgment seat: A. - seene Of almost indescrib able confusion ensued. The jury rushed out of the box and a counsel hastened upstairs from the - - Waiting room. He appeared for the plaintiff in the first case; and he "never heard of such conduct." The jury, itt high glee, assured the indignant counsel that the case had been called. It was now four minutes past ten, and a gentleman arrived with some law books. " You're too late," shouted the jurymen. Soon after this soma witnesses arrived, and to all was the same answer given. A; five minutes past ten the judge had left the building, and so was to be seen au extraordinary instance of speedy law : a jury sworn, two cases called, struck out, and jury discharged —all in less than five minutes. In justice to the indignant counsel, it should be stated that the case was only called in court, and not outside the door et the top of the stairs, in which latter case the gentleman alluded to, who was in the Court-house before ten o'clock, would have answered. MARKETS ---THIS DAY. MARK-LANE. Fresh up to this morning's market the arrivals of Eng lish wheat were small. The trade, however, was very dull, and sales could only be effected by submitting to further reduced rates. _ _ There was a good show of foreign wheat, and where sales were forced, prices ruled decidedly in favour of buyers. Floating cargoes of grain were a dull inquiry, and the currencies had a downward tendency. There were scarcely any samples of malting barley on offer. Grinding and distilling qualities sold heavily, and the quotations were barely supported. In malt sales progressed slowly, at about previous rates. Good and fine oats were in steady request, at full prices ; but inferior parcels were a dull inquiry, at drooping cur rencies. _ _ _ _ Beans and peas were unchanged in value, but the inquiry for, them ruled very inactive. The flour trade was dull, and Monday's quotations were with difficulty maintained. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. llialt. Oats. Flour. Eng1i5h........ 1,170 i _.._ 2,410 ' 2,88 0 1 , 050 sacks.

Mr. WilarNsoN occupied the chair, and explained the nature of the bill. A resolution approving of a bill authorising the Mid Kent Railway Company to make a railway from the Mid Kent Railway to Addiscombe, was unanimously agreed to. The proceedings, which were purely formal, then ter minated. POLICE-THIS DAY. BOW-STREET, THIS DAY; GAROTTING A PußLlc.uf.—Two young men, named Mark Barnett, and Henry Sweetlove, were brought before Mr. Henry on remand, charged with garotting and robbing Mr. James Wilson, a publican. Mary Farley said—l was in White Lion-street, St. Giles, on Monday evening last, when I saw some men, amongst whom were the two prisoners leading a gentleman along who was bleeding very much from a wound in the face. They commenced pushing him about. I wont over to them and told them not to ill-treat the gentleman, when I heard one of the prisoners say "Ding it." I have since heard that the gentleman had been robbed of his gold spectacles. Mr. James Wilson said—l am a licensed victualler, and carry on business at 123, Drury-lane. On Monday last I left my house of business about 7 o'clock in the evening for my residence in Camden-town, and as I was proceeding to the omnibus in Tottenham-court-road, and when near White Lion-street, Seven Dials, some persons came behind me, and seized me by the collar of my coat, and then I re ceived a violent blow in the face, which rendered me for some minutes perfectly senseless. I was lifted up by some persons, and then I found I had been robbed of my gold eye-glass. The injuries 1 received wore so severe that for three or four days I was incapable of attending to business. Police-constable Ackrill said both prisoners NT ere the constant associates of thieves. Barnett said—The woman is mistaken in me. I've got good work, and have no need to steal. Mr. Henry—The female witness swears positively that you were one of the parties with the gentleman when she went over to protect him. Ackrill asked for a remand, in order to allow him time to apprehend two other persons who V7PrP ooneerneil with the prisoners in the robbery. _ •- The magistrate granted the application. MARLBOROUGH .STREET, THIS DAY. CABS AND CAB HORSES.—CAUTION TO CAB OWNERS. —Mr. Robert Woolley, a cab proprietor, of Warren-mews, attended to answer a complaint of causing a horse to be tor tured by being used in a cab while in an unfit state. It was proved by Sergeant Davey, 17 C, and Mr. Cherry, the veterinary surgeon to the police, that the horse was in a vary bad state, greatly diseased, and totally unfit to be used. Defendant said there was nothing the matter with it, and he would not mind betting his worship £5 that it would do 12 miles in an hour. (Laughter.) Mr. Knox, after commenting on the defendant's conduct in sending out a horse in such a state, fined him 20s. and costs. Mr. Cherry said the defendant had other horses which had been complained of. Mr. Knox said the defendant had better be careful, for if he came before him again he probably shourd commit him without a fine. The driver of the cab, Benton, was fined ss, and costs for using the horse. _ Alfred Jenks, badge 13,478, was fined ss. and costs for using a cab in an unfit state, the cab being a Hansom. A hackney .carriage' 'attendant, named Green, proved seeing the defendant's cab on the stand in Conduit-street, with several spokes in both wheels loose and broken. The witness, in answer to a question, said the cab alto gether was in an unfit state for public use—in fact, it aas dangerous to use it. James Clark was charged as follows : Sergeant Joy, 9 C, proved seeing the prisoner the previ ous evening pushing among a number of persons assembled rcund a glove shop window in Regent-street, and particu larly keeping his eye on the pockets of two foreign gentle men. He watched the prisoner and saw him feeling the pockets of the gentlemen and then walk to the Haymarket, when he took the prisoner into custody. Prisoner—Now did you not say that:you would take me and give me a drag ? That's three months, your worship. Sergeant Cole, 23 C, said the prisoner had been tried at the Old Bailey and sentenced to 12 months for robbing a a man of a watch. Prisoner—Why he wasn't worth one. (Laughter.) Sergeant Cole said that previous to receiving the 12 months prisoner had had 10 years' penal servitude, and he was only discharged last week at Bow-street. Committed for three months.

THAMES, THIS DAY. ROBTiEIIY BY WORKMEN.—George Patten, a labourer in the service of Messrs. Mare and co., iron ship-builders, Millwall, Poplar, was brought before Mr.Woolrych, charged with stealing a pint and a half of oil and eight pieces of wood, value in all 9d., the property of his employers. Mr. Joseph Smith, solicitor, who conducted the prosecu tion, and was instructed by Mr. Henry Cox, superintendent of Messrs. Mare's establishment, said the value of the property with which the prisoner was charged with steal ing was insignificant, but the robberies committed in the prosecutors' yard, where 1,500 men were employed, were in the aggregate very large. It was the determination of Messrs. Mare and Co. to prosecute in every case of pilfer ing, and he was sorry to say that in several of Messrs. Mare's workmen had been convicted by Jones, or sum marily convicted by the magistrates of the Thames Police Court for stealing property. Examples were absolutely necessary, for if the pilfering was not stopped the works could not be oarried on. The prisoner was detected leaving his employer's premises, by Mr. Thomas Thomas, night in spector of the night watchmen, in Messrs. Mare's yard, with a tin bottle in his possession. It contained a pint and a half of oil. The inspector also found eight small pieces of wood, used in shipbuilding, concealed about the person of the prisoner. The story told by the prisoner that he brought the oil into the yard with him in the morning when he came to work was quite preposterous, and could not be credited for a moment. Mr. Thomas then confirmed the statement of the solicitor, and Mr. William Galdin, deputy foreman to Charles John Mare and Company, said he had occasion to send the pri soner to the stores yesterday morning for some oil, and he then had an opportuity of filling the tin bottle produced. The prisoner had been employed on the establishment be tween two and three years. Mr. Thomas was recalled, and said—The prisoner had the can of oil concealed behind him. Mr. Cox said there had been property to a considerable amount taken from Messrs. Mare's yard, which in such an extensive establishment necessitated the establishmont of gatekeepers, day watchmen, night watchmen, and inspectors. Mr. Woolrych said the workmen and labourers ought to be a police on each other. Tho prisoner said ho did steal the oil and the wood. It was quite true, and he was very sorry for it. Mr. Woolrych said the prisoner's conduct was very dis graceful and dishonest, and he would very properly be die. missed from the prosecutor's yard, and not be allowed to work there again. It was a serious thing for a man to rob his employers, whose property he was bound to protect, and it also brought discredit on the honest and respectable workmen in the yard. Ho was asked to dispose of this case summarily, and should do so. He sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned for twenty-ono days in the House of Cor rection, and to be kept to hard labour. SUDDEN DEATH IN THE NOTTINGHAM COUNTY I COURT.—Yesterday morning an awful instance of the uncertainty of life occurred in the Nottingham County Court. The judge, Mr. R.Wildman, was engaged hearing a case, when a man named Samuel Wilson, a pensioner aged 56 years, suddenly fell on to the floor as if in a fainting fit. Assistance was promptly obtained, a surgeon being immediately on the spot, but all efforts to restore the deceased to consciousness were unavailing, and he died before he I could be carried out of the County-hall. A inquest will be held this day. MELANCHOLY SUICIDE.—HOW GOVERNESSES ARE PAlD.—Yesterday morning Mr. W. J. Payne, the deputy-coroner, held an inquest on the body of Elise Jahreis, a fine young German wom an, onl y 21 y ears of age, which was found floating in the Thames. On examining the et dress of the deceased a b ill belon g ing to the Royal one Mint Hotel, Paddington, was f eund in the pock, and farthing in money. It was ascertained that the deceased had been staying at the hotel from the 15th to . the 17th of the present month, when she went away, having paid the bill found in her possess ion. She left a bag, stating that she would call again for it, but had never done so. This bag was found to contain her wearing apparel and some letters addressed to Mr. Daman, surgeon, of Leman-street, Whitechapel. The summoning officer at once proceeded there, when Mr. Daman informed him that the deceased was a young woman of highly respectable connections in Germany, and that she was staying with him for ten months, when sho obtained a situation as governess with a family in Cornwall, at a salary of £lO a-year. She went there on the 21st of March, but a few days ago she wrete to him stating th at she did not like the situation, her that m oney was all gon e, and that she should return to London, but he never heard anything of her until ho was informed that she had been found in the water. Had she written to her friends a fresh supply of mone y could ha ve been ob tained. Tho jury icturned as their verdict, " That the de ceased was found drown ed, but how she came into the water there was no evidence to show." The Bank of Manchester, whi c h w as one of the first that had the co ur age to adopt the from o r prineiple of limited li a bility, has derived the advantage omt of an increase of business as well as an improvement of i the proprietary ; and an augmentation of the Board has just taken place by the addition of Messrs.

The following letter relates to the effect produced on the population of the Punjab by the recent open ing of the railway : " Sir,--As attention is now directed to the re ported political movements in Central Asia, near our north-we s t ern f rontier, it may be interesting to therem barckrdeornptehpettlasttricikninbg themoral effect produced on roiil,wltaywabsetdweeteernmLinachdori slid recent u opening of the Lahore y n th th e e firstm r i i t n s u s t r a . nee to con umhost inland section con struct and open for traffic of the Punjab Railway, under s thec placedov from the line connecting two of cc G rnm e e r r r al en t, and and Umritsur, one the seat the other the sacerdotal and ep c i t l al of the Sikhs, not only great pecuniary result s would at once be shown from the extent of the existingu traffic, but that the sight of a locomotive actu a ll y at work in that remove region would impress the inhabitants of the Punjab and neighbouring ccun _ tries with new ideas of our power and resources. " From official and private letters received by last mail, it would appear that these expectations are about being realised in a remarkable manner. " The conviction appears to be, that not only India in general will undergo a complete change through the extension of railways, ' but that more especially the various nations and races of the Pun jab, as well as the semi-barbarous tribes that girdle its frontier,' will speedily succumb to the civilising influence of steam, if we may be permitted to augur such a result from what has been daily witnessed during the short period in which the railway has been in operation. " The natives of all classes and races assembled in crowds to witness the performance of the locomo tive, ' John Lawrence.' Some eagerly contend for seats in the carriages without regard to the amount of fare or nature of the accommodation, while the spectators assume a wonder-struck and submissive demeanour, as if in the presence of a superior power, or a race of men against whom, in future, it would be vain to contend.

" W. P. ANDREW. " Moy 20." EMBEZZLEMENT. The Court of Assizes of the Seine was engaged yesterday in trying a man named Dexheimer, aged 41, recently cashier of M. Billet, stockbroker, on a charge of appropriating to his own use the large sum of 1,092,734 f., entrusted to him by his employer. Two other persons, a young woman named Forrelle, aged 25, with whom Dexheimer cohabited, and a Swiss named Diggelmann, were charged as accom plices. The prisoner Dexheimer entered the service of M. Lebel-Cointet, agent-de-change, as cashier, in November, 1852, and had charge of all the shares, bonds, and other securities, entrusted to h's employer. He fulfilled the duties of his office satisfactorily till January, 1856, when M. Lebel- Cointet sold his charge to M. Billet. During that year the business of the house increased to such an extent that Dex heimer's duties were more than doubled, but, instead of asking for assistance, he undertook the additional work, and, as all payments were made by him, he had large sums under his care. He then fell into a dissolute course of life, kept several mistresses, at a cost of 500 fr. a month each, and also the prisoner Ferrelle, who exercised unbounded influence over him, and obtained from him the means of living in the most extravagant style. To meet these out goings, Dexheimer embezzled the property entrusted to his charge, but as the cash in hand and cash-book were too often verified for him to appropriate large sums without danger of immediate discovery, he sold the securities con fided to his keeping, and was thus able to follow his ruinous course till April, 1861. In that month M. Leclerc, a partner, wanted 400 shares of the Northern Railway. Dixheimer could produce only 225. Leclerc then applied to M. Billet, who sought in vain for the 175 missing shares. On the day after this discovery Dexheimer did not attend at the office, but M. Billet, still confident in his honesty, went for him, and induced him to return, for the purpose of verifying the accounts. A few days after, 150 Lyons Railway shares were missed. Dexheimer then absconded to Holland, whence he was brought back to Paris. On a complete examination of the books and securities in hand, it was found that the deficiency amounted to 1,092,734 fr. The prisoner Ferrelle was also arrested on the charge of having received a considerable part of the money, knowing it to be stolen. The third prisoner, Diggelmann, by some means discovered the secret of Dexheimer's prodi galities, and by threatening to denounce him, obtained various sums of money, amounting in all to 15,000 fr. Iz answer to questions from the President, Dexheimer, who fully acknowledged his crime, and appeared extremely- peni tent, stated that although the loss to his employer was above a million, the money he had spent was only about 550,000 f., as he had paid the coupons on the shares sold, and when shares were demanded he had often been com pelled to purchase at much higher prices than he had sold. He estimated the amount spent on Ferrelle in four years at from 250,000 f. to 300,000 f. The last-named prisoner answered the President's questions with shameless effron- tery, for which she was reprimanded more than once. She maintained that she had not received above 200,000 f. from Dexoeimer, and that she had always believed him to be M. Billet himself. Several witnesses, however, clearly proved that she well knew Dexheimor to be only Billet's cashier. Diggelmann, in his defence, declared that the money he had received from the prisoner was advanced for the purpose of establishing a manu factory of artificial marble, but he admitted that he had been the means of introducing several women to Dexheimer, and his explanations repeatedly called forth expressions of disgust from the president, After hearing the public pro secutor and counsel for the prisoners, the jury retired to consider their verdict. In an hour they returned into court with a verdict of acquittal in favour of Diggelman, and of guilty, with extenuating circumstances, against Dexheimmer and Ferrelle. The president then ordered Diggelmann at; liberty, and told the gendarmes to turn him out of the court. The other two prisoners were each condemned to five yoars' imprisonment, and Dexheimer to 100 fr. fine in addition.—Galignani. BANK OF ENGLAND.

THE WRECK OF THE MARS. Mr. D. FORTESCUE asked the Secretary of State Tor the Home Department whether his attention had been called to the fact, as alleged, that no inquest had been held on any of the bodies washed ashora on the coast of Pem brokeshire, from the wreck of the Mars steamer in April last, and that official inquiry had been instituted into the causes that led +o that disaster? Sir a GREY said that the bodies of the deceased were under the jurisdiction of the local authorities, and therefore it was not considered necessary to issue any inquiry from, the Home-office as to the cause of death. HERAT. Mr. GRIFFITH asked the First Lord of the Trea sury whether, on the conclusion of the last Per sian war, by the evacuation of Herat by the Per sians, Ahmed Jan, the Sultan or ruler of Herat, did not acknowledge the sovereignty of the Shah by performing allegiance to him, and having the coinage struck in the name of the Shah : Whether it was not the case that this same Sultan of Herat, either with or with.. out the assistance of Persian 'troops, was now marching, on Candahar, that the sons of Dost Mahommed of Caubul were marching against him % and that there are imminent probabilities of war breaking out in those regions; and whether, in case of the occurrence of any such hostilities, it would be the intention of her Majesty's Government, or of the Indian Government, to inter vene in any way, either for or against any of the powers of Central Asia, or to extend any operations designed for the security of India beyond the limits of the great mountala passes which form the present frontier of that country. Lord PALMERSTON said that the relations of the Government of Persia with the Affghanistan territrry had been arranged by a treaty of 1827. By that treaty the Shah of Persia was not entitled to claim sovereignty in Affghanistan, or to exact tribute from that country. It was also arranged that in Db.° eases of mutual differ ences between Persia and Affghanistan the good offices of this country should be used to effect a satisfactory arrangement between the parties. With regard to the present state of Herat, the troops had retreated from Poonah, and the chances of hostilities in Candahar were very much diminished. He believed that there were no Persian troops engaged in these hostile operations. Mr. GRIFFITH wished to know what course Govern. , ment intended to take in reference to the disturbances at Herat. Lord PALMERSTON said—We are disposed to treat this matter as a dispute entirely between the different states of Affghanistan; but if our Indian empire be threatened, then it would be necessary to adopt such means as the cir_ cumstances of the case might require. (Hear, hear.) THE LATE M. THIEBAULT. Mr. SMTT,TX wilted the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether any and how many extra police were or would be stationed at or near the spot where the late M. Thiebault was murdered ; what was the estimated cost of such force ; and would it be charged on the occupiers of any and which, particular townlands? Sir R. PEEL said that the Government had sent a num ber of policemen to the neighbourhood of the recent murder in Ireland, and the charge of these policemen would be MS per annum. The practice was to make the charge of such extra force on the town, and when the circumstances that rendered it necessary occurred. However, as thia property belonged to the relatives of the late M. Thiebault, it was not proposed to charge that immediate locality with the cost of this extra force. THE DEFENCE COMMISSIONERS. Mr. GREGORY asked the Secretary of State PA' War if the evidence taken before the Defence Cenr,nissioners would be laid before the house, together with the report. Sir G. C. LEWIS said that the report ',vas printed, but was presented to the house without the evidence, in conse quence of the desire of hon. members to have it before them without delay. However, that evidence was being printed, and would shortly be presented to the house. IRON-CASED VESSELS (ENGLISH AND FRENCH). Mr. LINDSAY asked the first Lord of the Treasury if he had any objection to lay upon the table of the house a return of the number of iron-cased vessels built and build ing, or in course of conversion, for the use of her l'ila jesty's navy : and a copy of the list in the possession P o r eSc b it u ii li building 1 11.8t n oe. g e and of her Majesty's Government of the thirty-six iron-cased ships said to be built or building for the Government them. of France, with the state of progress, and tonnage of each, vessel, as far as practicable, and in both cases distinguish.. ing sea-going ships from coating batteries.

DISCOVERY OF A FOSSIL BONE.—A few days ago, in digging the foundation for the new piers at the harbour of Alloa, the workmen came upon a bone imbedded amongst the clay, about ten feet below the undisturbed alluvial de posit of the river, and a little above a gravel bed containing oyster and other marine shells. On examination, the bone was ascertained to be the lower jaw bone of the wild boar. From the long period in which it must have been imbedded amongst the clay it has became perfectly black, the teeth retaining their enamel, and having the appearance of po lished ebony. The jaw bone is about seven inches in length, though considerably mutilated at b.th ends. The tusk is six inches in length, the greater part, however, being inserted in the jaw. It is impossible accurately to determine how long it is since this bone was buried in the spot whew it was found, or by shat accident it came to be washed down the current and imbedded in its silt. It may, however, be safe l y averred that man y ages have passed away since the wild boar who owned this jaw bone roamed i n forests long sinc e e x ti nct , hunte d it may be by orudo ancestors in one or other of the extensive forests so plenti ful in primitive times in old Caledonia.-4710a Journal. The Rev. A. Barry, 8.D., head master of the Leeds Grammar School, has been elected Principal of Chel tenham College. NATIONAL SCHOOLS, IRELAND. Mr, WHITESIDE asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether any rule had been framed by the National Board of Education in Ireland which permitted the use of prayer at the opening of a school and during school hours. Sir R. PEEL said that if the hon. member referred to the rules 12, 14, and 16 of the board, ho would find provi sion had been made by which the parents of children could , have them r emove d, if they objected to the reading of prayers in the schools. CIVIL SERVICE APPOINTMENTS. Mr. HENNESSY asked the First Lord of the Treasury whether the Government had taken any steps to carry out the recommendation of the select committee on Civil Service appointments, to the effect " that the experiment of open competition for junior clerkships, tried at the India Board in 1359, be repeated from time to time in the other depart ments of the Civil Service ?" Lord PALMERSTON said that the present arrange ment for examination of candidates was that they should first pass the standard test, and then when a vacancy occur red a list of such candidates should be submitted for exam ination in order to supply the vacancy. It w" intended tD extend that arrangement. POOR RELIEF (IRELAND) DILL. The house then resumed committee a progress en this bill, Clauses to 8 inclusive were agreed to.
