Uuitei States Five-Twenty Bonds are a 1 better at 804 to 81. Erie Shares are 19, and Illinois 96. Bank Shares arc not in much request, and prices generally are without change. Agra (A) shares are firm, at 101 to 101. Alliance is steady, at 13 to 14 ; Anglo-Austrian, 18 to 19 prem.; Chartered Mercantile, 31 to 32. _ The dealings in Foreign Mining Shares are very limited, and no particular change is marked in prices. St. John del Rey is quoted at 15k to 158 ; General Brazilian, 3-16 to 5-16 rar ; Chontales, to 11. Continental Railway Shares are without feature. Great Luxemburg is quoted at 91. to 10 ; and Lom bardo-Venetian at 191 to 191. A fair business is doing in English Railway Shares and the general advance which occurred yesterday in prices is well maintained.

On the other hand, a decline of 1 is marked in Caledonian, Great Western, and Midland, the quotation being 76,1 to 77i, 49 to 491, and 76 to 761 respectively. Great Eastern is steady at 37,;, to 38 ; Great Northern (A), 1071 to 1081 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 123 to 1231 ; London and Brighton, 451 to 46 ; Lon don and North Western, 1171 to 118 ; and Metro politan, 991 to 100. In Miscellaneous Securities business is very quiet, and prices are not much altered. General Credit is lower, at 2to 14 dis. ; International is steady, at 2 to 11 dis. ; National Discount, 11 to 111. Hudson's Bay is inquired for at 121 to 121 ; and Anglo-American Telegraph, 211 to 214. The sum of £113,000 in gold was taken to the Bank yesterday. The Essex, from Melbourne, has brought £BO,OOO. Z he Copernicus, for Brazil, has taken out £lO,OOO. Some expressions from the Chancellor of the Ex chequer on Thursday last seemed to create an idea of a tendency to antagonism on the part of the Go vernment towards the Bank of England. He spoke of taking an independent course by borrowing and lending under plans not yet matured, designated the Bank as a merely " private banking institu tion," and almost indicated that the power of that establishment is attributable to a fancy on the part of the merchants " to set up a sort of monarch over them to whom they pay deference." Happily these phrases do not necessarily involve any intentions materially to disturb the star; of existing re!ations. Many people still imagine that the bank enjoys great privileges and derives especial ad .-antages from Government favour. The fact is, there is no part of the national business transacted by the Bank in which the terms of the contract are not more in favour of the public than of the Bank— the result being that whereas other joint-stock banking establishments distribute dividends year after year, ranging between 15 and 30 per cent., the Bank proprietors take only about 8 per cent. It is true they are conscious of a stability in these dividends, which is a compensation for their relative smallness, while, on the other hand, the Government get all the benefit allowed in consi deration for the dignity and steadiness of the ager cy thus conferred. Neither party could break up the sptein without damage, and it is not to be supposed there is any thought of such a step. It is stated that the scheme of arrangement be tween the shareholders and creditors of the Com mercial Bank Corporation of India and the East, under which all litigation is to be stayed, and the creditors are to accept 17s. in the pound in dis charge of their claims, has received the sanction of the Master of the Rolls. In Mincing-lane business has been upon a limited scale in most articles, but several floating cargoes of sugar have been sold for outports, and the quarterly auctions of cinnamon have passed off with fair spirit. The variations in prices have not been important. The South-Eastern Railway traffic return shows this week a decrease of £1,375 compared with the corresponding period of last year, and the Brighton a decrease of £2,527. The corresponding week of last year included Whit-Sunday. The traffic return of the Great Western Railway of Canada, for the week ending the 28th instant, shows an increase of £1,359 over last year. At the meeting of the Trust and Loan Company of Upper Canada a dividend was declared for the half-year at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum. At a meeting of proprietors of the lonian Bank the directors' report was agreed to. The net profit for 1868 was £21,130, out of which two dividends and bonuses, amounting to £17,736, have becu paid. The reserve fund stands at £53 : 621. The directors of the Britannia Fire Association have announced that the whole of the second issue of shares (10,000) have been allotted. At the meeting of the Madras Irrigation and Canal Company the directors' report was adopted. It mentioned that the operations of the company in India have lately attained to a highly satisfac tory state, and that the whole of the works between Soonkasala and Cuddapah are expected to be com pleted between the time specified in the contract with the Secretary of State in Council. The General Court of the Royal Exchange As surance Corporation will be held on the 23d of June " to consider of a dividend." In connection with the affairs of the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada, a circular, signed by 111 r. Albert Creak, of Brighton, and by about a dozen other gentlemen, has been addressed to the stock and bond holders, inviting them to combine, with a view to bring about a change in the manage ment. Those interested are urged to attend ;he meeting at the London Tavern on the Bch of June. BRIT ISDI FUNDS-TWO O'CLOCK• GOVERNMENT FUNDS. 3 t _or. Cent.

Account, July 7 934 4 A ADELPHI THEATRE. Last night a drama in three acts, freely translate I from the French by Mr. B. Webster, jun., entitled 4 , Eve," was produced with much success. The principal part in the piece is supported by Mr. B. Webster, and the novelty of seeing this favourite actor in a new part drew a very brilliant and crowded audience. Eve, the heroine of the drama, is the young wife of Hugh Wallaston, a solicitor, whose sentimentality has brought about a carelessness of the duties of home, a::d who is in continual danger of lending too indulge..t an ear to the unlawful addresses of a young bar rister who importunes her to elope with him to a foreign land. Though ever seemingly on the verge of falling a victim to his villaay, she is pre served from so fatal a sin in some degree through the influence of a fe 1:ale relative, who watches over her with the fondest solicitude, but mainly through the magnanimity of her husband, who, instead of reproaching or thwarting her, confides in her to the last, and makes an irresistible appeal to her sense of dignity and duty. The great part in the piece is that of the husband, and as Mr. *Webster warmed in the part he in creased the intensity of his acting. In the second act, where the discovery of the secret of his wife's indifference is discovered, he gave the audience a taste of his great qualities as an actor, and this fee ling he gradually intensified until, in the concluding act, he rose to such a high standard of excellence that this, his last new part, may fairly be placed side by side with that of Triplet in " Masks and Faces," which has been acknowledged by all to be one of the finest specimens of dramatic art ever seen on the metropolitan stage. Mr. IL Neville, as the lover, looked the beau ideal of a lady ki►ler, and sustained his part with much excellence. Miss Furtado, as Eve, threw much intensity into the character, and Mrs. H. Mellon, as the good and true wife of a retired tradesman, carried the audience with her by the warmth and geniality of her acting. Little Miss Lillie Lee, a child about six or seven years old, acted with extraordinary t dent, and there was not a lady in the house but who envied Mr. Webster the privilege of kissing her for her pretty impersona tion. The piece was received with loud applause, and will doubtless attract the playgoers to the Adelphi for a considerable time. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--lhis Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. DISORDMILIES.— Mr. John Wilkinson, gentleman, of the Junior United Service Club, Regent-street, and de scribed as iu her Majesty's service, was charged before Mr. Tyrwliitt with being drunk and disorderly in the Fluymarket.

According to the report thirty-seven mis sionary clergymen are labouring in connection with the society, twenty-six of whom are supported by grants from the Bishop of London's Fund, the stipends of eleven mis sionaries resting on the responsibility of the mission. The society has received during the year £5,305 ss. from the Bishop of London's Fund, the subscriptions, dona tions, and church collections being £2,797 45., or EGG lls. 9d. less than in 18(17, much more than the total falling off being in the church collections. The Archbishop of York, the Bishop of Derry, Lord Lyttelton, the Rev. D. Wilson (Islington), J. Nolan, E. Auriol, J. Moorehouse, Mr. 11. Freemantie, Admiral PArry, the lion. A. Kinnaird, /11. P., Mr. G. Moo Admiral Sir T. Cochrane, Sir G. 13a' e Mr. A. - M.P., and Mr. Cazenove, v. e.e present ; and the Right Rev. Chairman, his Cr tee the Archbishop, Lord Lyttelton, the Bishop of Derry, and some others, delivere 1 addresses, recommending the claims of the society, which were answered by a liberal collection at the doors. The Right Bey. President, in a short speech, referred to the attractions of music, and highly ornate ritual, which had succeeded in some instances in drawing large congregations of the working classes, competing, as it were, with those public places where the music of some of Handel's oratorios and Rossini's " Stabat-Mater " mingled with the tinkling of drinking classes. Row far real conversion was pro. moted by these appeals to the senses could only be known at the last day ; but although high ritual had doubtless attracted many to the churches, and admit- ting that whatever brought those there who would other wise stay away, he doubted whether those large congregations had been brought together except in those cases where the clergyman had been assiduous in visiting his parishioners from house to house, and he believed that the effect would have been the same had the church pre sented nothing more ornamental than whitewashed walls, and the service conducted in the most primitive simplicity. THE OPEN-AIR MISSION. The quarterly meeting of this society took place on the same day, at the Hall in Red Lion-square, Holborn, under the presidency of Mr. John Macgregor. The proceedings commenced with some remarks by the Rev. Mr. Atkinson, of Hull, who said the gospel would never be taken to the poor by any other means than by mission work, especially such a work as that carried on by the Open-Air Mission. —Mr. Gawin Kirkham (secletary) said that they were gathered together for the discussion of four points : First, upon open-air preaching generally ; secondly, the work of preaching at faire, &c. ; thirdly, indoor visitation in workhouses, prisons, &c. ; and fourthly, the best way of preparing for preaching, in the shape of educational classes.—Mr. Walker gave an account of his preaching work at the Royal Exchange. He observed that these services had been held for a number of years at the foot of the Royal Exchange, under the sanction of the Lord Mayor ; but recently they had been disturbed by a band of Free-thinkers. A deputa tion bad waited upon the Lord Mayor on the subject, ane the advice given was, that preaching should be abstained from for a few weeks, but after that the agents of thelOpen- Air Mission could go on with their work. Mr. John Mac gregor (Rob Roy) rose and said that all men were not fitted for argument, and therefore they should be careful, especially in the present day. Discussion might prove useful, or it might prove a snare; therefore his (the speaker's) advice to open-air preachers was, if they dis cussed, to do so carefully. After some other speeches the nroceedings were brought to a close. THE SHEDDEN LEGITIMACY CASE. The case of W. P. R. Shedden and Annabella Jean Ratstot Shedden v. the Attorney-General and others again came be tore the House of Lords on appeal yesterday. The argu ments were resumed, Miss Shedden again appearing before their lordships to continue her opening address, which occupied eight days before the Wuitsuntido recess. The present appeal is from the Court of Divorce and Matrimonial Causes against a decree pronounced by the full Court, con sisting of the Lcrd Ordinary, the late Mr. Justice Wight man, and Mr. Justice Vaughan Williams, who decided that tne elder petitioner (the father of Miss Shedden) is not legiti mate, and therefore is not a natural born subject. Miss Shedden now made an application that counsel mignt be heard to argue the legal points of the case. Lord Chelmsford—When your case was first before their lordships, the Lord Chancellor was not a member of your lordships' house, and therefore I have felt myself Lound to take the initiative The greatest possible indulgence has been shown throughout the proceedings to Miss Shedden, which she hes not failed to take advantage of. She has already occupied eight days, and I think it would be trifling with 3-our lordships if counsel were now to be heard. Miss Shedden then proceeded with her address. Mr. dollish, Q.C., Mr. J. J. rowel], Q. 0., and the ion. Mr. Ashley appeared for the respondents. FOUR MEN KILLED : BY A BOILER L•XPLUSIOY -- ~-- On Monday morning, according to intelligence from Aberdare, a boiler explosion, attended with most serious results, took place at Aberaman, South Wales. About half-past six o'clock in the morning a number of men were waiting round the Plough Pit, a colliery belonging to the Powell DutTryn Company, when suddenly a rumbling noise was heard, and a large boiler, bursting into three pieces, shot into the air. A piece weighing three tons was carried away nearly 100 yards, and fell on the side of the Tail Vale Railway. Another and smaller piece flew into the air almost perpendicularly. The flying dtSbris was the chief cause of the fatal consequences, the massive pieces of iron being injurious only to property. Huge stones, pieces of timber, and fragments of metal fell among the men who were sitting down. A terrible havoc was the result. Of the four men that are killed the heads of three are corn pletely smashed, and the other, the stoker, was found standing underneath where the boiler had been, as though he bad gone to light his pipe. He was up to his knees in boiling water, and when found was stiff and rigid, and had evidently been scalded to death. The names of the deceased are—George Rose, stoker, 32, single man ; David Richards, collier, 16, single ; David Lewis, labourer, 22, single ; Daniel Griffiths, collier, 32, married; the last of whom has left an invalid wife and a very large family. Several men suffered from skull wounds caused by fall ing stones. Two are so seriously injured that their recovery is doubtful. Several miraculous escapeswere ex perienced. A large piece of timber about fourteen feet long, and weighing two or three hundredweight, had been torn from the roof of the engine-house,carried over the adjoin ing buildings, and hurled with a force that must have been tremendous through the roof of a house 200 yards away. It pierced the roof in a slanting direction, and struck a wall a few inches above a bed on which a child was sleeping, thence it rebounded, and fell just on the side of the bed, leaving the child unscathed. A large stone, after crushing through the roof of another house, was caught by a rafter and suspended by it over two men who were lying in bed. For some time it has been thought that the boilers were too weak for further use, and others have been in course of erection in another part of the works. No cause can be assigned for this sad catastrophe. AN ACTRESS ON HER PROFESSION.--An American actress, who has retired from the stage, writing to one , of the New York papers, says When a girl goes into a theatre to apply for a situation now she finds that the requirements of managers are expressed in the follow ing questions ;—' Is your hair dyed yellow?' Are your legs, arms, and bosom symmetrically formed, and are you willing to expose them?' `Can you sing brassy songs, and dance the Can-can, and wink at men, and give • utterance to disgusting half words which mean whole actions?' `Are you acquainted with rich men who will throw you flowers, and send you presents, and keep afloat dubious rumours concerning your chastity?' Are you willing to appear to-night, and every night, amid the glare of gaslights and before the gaze of thousands of men, in inches this pair of satin breeches ten long, without a vestige of drapery on your person?' If you can answer these questions affirmatively, we will give you a situation, If not, there's the door.'" ROYAL DRAMATIC COLLEGE.—The annual meet. ing of the governors and subscribers to this institution was held on Monday afternoon, in the saloon of Drury. Jane Theatre, Mr. Benjamin Webster, the Master of the College, occupying the chair. The report acknowledged, w ith pride, the continued patronage of her Majesty, the Prince of Wales, and other members of the Royal F am ily. No vacancy had occurred in the College during the year, thus sustaining the opinion that it was satiated in me of the healthiest localities of the kingdom. Including a brought forward balance of £633 Bs., and a legacy of £lOO from the late Dr. Eldred, the receipts of the year had been £1,613 ls. 7d., the whole of which with the exception of £177 17s. 2d. had been expended. The Master and Mr. T. Stewart having moved and seconded the adoption of the report, Mr. C. L. Gruneisen urged the necessity for endea vouring to create an endowment fund, without which the College could not be satisfactorily maintained. The Master replied that everything that could had been done in that direction. Lords and gentlemen might promise subscriptions, but there was no means of making them pay up, and the theatrical, like almost every other pro. fession, had failed to subscribe annually to the institutions fogU_citcl fox their Lei4t. • - - BALMORAL, May 29.

ALL SAINTS DISTRICT BISIIOPSGATE BILL. This was a bill to enable the railway companies to pur chase the site of the church of All Saints, Bishopsgate, for a sum of £:,500, and also find 3 alto to erect another church. It was also proposed to erect schools, at tached to which would be a chapel to be licensed for the celebration of divine worship. Mr. W. IL Smith op posed the second reading of the bill. Mr. Tite supported it, and said it waa,apposed by tlits.Archbishop of tganter bury and the Bishop of Loudon. The Solicit. , r-Clen..ral opposed the bill, becalm:, it was pro? .sod to give .£3OO year to a elergyman f.-.r doing nothing, but Mr. Bruce, the Homo Scret.try, supported it. Mr. Adair t.uggested that the bill should be referred to a select committee. Mr. Crawford said tho real qw•s tion to be decided by the divi,ion was whether tlr'y would re-erect a church to which the people would not go, or whether they wool.' erect a school-house, with a chapel attached, which the people would most read.ty Attend. The house divided, when ill ,re appeared— For the second reading Against it Majority in favour of the bill TREAT/ WITH AUSTELL Mr. OT WAY, in reply to Mr. Egerton, said an arrange m , ut had becu c nue to with Austria with reference to the outstanding points of the treaty of 1865, but the arrange ments were not yet quite completed. FINING CHILDREN. Mr. BRUCE said it wal quite true that two young chil dren had been fined by the Brentford magistrates for break ing down a fence, but the fiue had been inflicted in order to reach the parents, who, it was believed, sent the chil dren out to do as they had done. The parents were in court when the sentence was passed. GRAND JURY LAWS (IRELAND). Mr. C. FORTESCUE said he did not think it would be possible to introduce any bill on the subject during the present session. CHAPLAINS IN PRISONS. Mr. GLADSTONE, in reply to Mr. Verner, said he did not contemplate that the passing of the Disestablishment of the Mel Church Bill would create any difficulty with reTect to the appointment of chaplains of the Established Church. The subject would, of course, receive considera tion, and in the event of any difficulty arising a bill, of course, would be introduced to meet the cas:.. THE IRISH CHURCH BILL. On the motion fir the third reading of this bill, Mr. HOLT said the alterations that had taken place in the bill had not improved the measure in the slightest, and the more the gentlemen on his side of the house saw of the bill the more they disliked it. (Hear, hear.) In order, therefore, that they might again re cord their dislike to the measure, he had felt it his duty to move the negative of the bill, and those who agreed with Lim would then have done all that it was possible to do, and they would also have the satisfaction of knowing that they had discharged their duty with a clear con science and clean hands. The hon. gentleman then pro c2eded to say that the Voluntary system of Scotland that had been sofreluently referred to during the discussion of the bill was not the success that it had been said to have been, and read certain extracts to show tho smallness of the sums received for the support of the. clergymen from some of the smallest and largest places in that country. He next referred to the legal trgument put forward by the sight bon. member for Richmend (Sir R. Palmer), and said it was tvident that the First Lord of the Trea sury and the Solicitor-General felt the force of the points raised. The statements that had been put forward with respect to the position of the Church in New Yolk were equally transparent, and in support of his argument he read an extract from a decision of Judge Story with respect to a church iu Virginia when he said they might disestablish it, but they had no right to confiscate its property. (Hear, hoar.) He could only say that the bill was promoted by a majority in that house, but not of the country—that majority said, "We can and we will," and thus the bill had passed through nearly all its stages, and to-night they were asked to give it the finishing touch, in order that it might be removed for con aideration in another place, but he did hope if he was not successful with his motion a result different to that expected by her Majesty's Government would be arrived at. (clear, hear.) He ridiculed the idea that ate, bill was based on religious equality. It was equality all ou one side, and such as never would be tolerated by Liberal members had such a measure proceeded from the Opposition side of the house. (Hear, hear.) The result of the measure be believed would end in the revival in its most odious form of religious rancour and internal discord in Ireland, and, with respect to liberality, the Liberal Ministers bad only exercised their liberality by giving away that which belonged to others. lie, therefore, ?novel that the bill be read a third time that day six months. Lord ELCHO seconded the motion. After some remarks from Mr. Disraeli, ho was followed by Mr. Gladstone, who, in a speech of gie It &rer, gave the final word of counsel and encouragenoino his fol lowers. Then the house divided, and the numbers were— For the third reading 361 Against it 247 Majority for the third reading... ... 114 The announcement of the ',umbers was received with vehement cheering from the Ministerial bmches. The bill was then formally read a third time and passed, and the house shortly afterwards adjourned.

TAT I'ER.S.k LL'S—LAST EVENING. Tin; OBJ ECTION TO PRETENDER. The following is the written protest of Sir Joseph Hawley : (COPY.) 6, Old Burlington-street., May 31, 1869. Having heard a rumour that Hr. Sadler, the nominator of Pretender for the Derby, died before the race was run, I give notice to you not to pay over the stakes till the matter is cleared up. (Signed) JOSEPH HAWLEY. To Messrs. Weatherby. Meanwhile, answers to the telegrams which had been sent to Doncaster were awaited with great impatience, but it was not until about four o'clock, nearly three hours aftfNr the first message had been sent, that they arrived. I give copies of two which came under my notice : May 31. Report false. Mr. Sadler quite well ; passed my shop this morning, and saw Daby run far list week. Now here. From T. Dawson to R. Booth. Sadler is quite well ; not likely to die. If, after these messages, any doubt had remained as to Sadler's not having gone the way of all flesh, it would surely have been dispelled by the following telegram, received half an hour later, from himself, which reads not unlike a communication from the spirit over whom Mr. Home has such influence : May 31. Sadler, Doncaster, to Mr. Tattersall. I am breeder of Pretender, and nominated him myself. I am quite well, and in good health. All doubt having been set at rest by these very satisfac tory eommunications, the committee of Tattersall's set themselves with praiseworthy zeal to aid them by endea vouring to allay the panic that still prevailed, and besides using their personal influence with members, they issued ho following notice : =The committee having ascertained that the nominator of Pretender is now alive, all accounts must be settled.

Shia) the great demand for photographic lenses has diminished, an opportunity has been afforded for applying mechanical powor with the greatest success, whereby the cost of those beautiful and most perfect instruments is reduced in price in some instances to as much as 20 per cent. In fact they are now no dearer than those of the best French or English makers. At the depot Aallaghan, 28A, New Bond-street, corner of Conduit-street, the patrons of the Derby may indulge their taste in the possession of a veritable Voigtlander at comparatively trifling cost. It is superfluous to say the quality is as ever matchless. RACING FIXTURES. JUNE.

To-day the first Etbibition of the National Dog's Club was opened to the public at Laycock Dairy Yard, Liverpool-road, Islington. There was a very large attendance of the public to witness the novel exhibition. The entries were particularly numerous, there being nearly 1,000 entered for competition, and the amount to be awarded in prizes amounting to fBOO. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales sent his celz brated hound Vulcan, the deer hounds presented to him by the Emperor of Russia, and others to compete for the prizes. On entering the yard the visitor is first attracted by the bloodhounds, they present a very formidable array, but the mastiffs, who succed, exceeds them in strength and number. The Mount St. Bernard dogs attract attention, and after them comes the universal favourites the Newfound land. dogs. The pointers, setters, retrievers, and other sporting dogs make a great show, but after the very large, the very small dogs seem to attrazt the most attention, and in the toy dog class there arc favourites that the lads o wners would not eell " for worlds." The Spaniards, King Charles's, and other fancy breeds are well represented, and the show no doubt will be a great success. The only prize yet awarded ie in the Deerhound Class, Nos. 17, 18, 19 f entered by Mr. Cole, of Windsor Great Park', to which the judges have awarded the first, second, and third prizes. In tlo class for bitches of the some breed, Zrlis6 liradley bow taken the highest prize for her d 0 6 ., No. 81. -
