CITY, Two o'CLocK. The settlement engages most of the attention to day. Consols have receded a trifle, but recovery is fully looked for to-morrow. The Alabama question is the cause of the fall. A demand has sprun g up for foreign loans, and the Hudson Bay Company shares have improved. The rate of dis count in the house is as quoted yesterday.

The sum of £60,000 in gold was withdrawn from the Bank yesterday. Of this amount £30,000 con sisted of so vere i gns for India and 130,000 was in American eagles for New York. The Atrato, from the %Vest Indies, has brought £223,620, of which £133,231 is gold, and the Union, from New York, £9,745. It is reported that advances are being made to -effect an arrangement between the several classes of stock and debenture holders interested ih the Lon don, Chatham, and Dover Railway. If this can be a ccomplished it will be most satisfactory, especially should anything like the payment of interest be re sumed. The advance in the price of the stock is attributed to these proceedings. The new Russian loan has been received with Much indifference. Although it is, as a matter of course, offered upon terms which render it rela tively cheaper than the existing issues, the effect of this consideration is lost through the extent to which the market had previously been flooded with stock, while at the same time caution is inspired by the implied refusal on the part of the Russian Governnient to refrain from putting forth fresh loans directly. the instalments upon this new stock shall have been completed. Rumours continue to be circulated from day to day with reference to the coining Spaui sh loan, for which there appears to be a good deal of competi tion at Madrid, although this is probably in no small degree of a conditional character. It is not believed that anything absolutely definite has yet been settled. A remittance of £1,415 has been received on ac count of the debt of Equador. The period of office of Mr. Thomas N. Hunt as Governor of the Bank of England has terminated. The four years in which Mr. Hunt has filled the post of Deputy-Governor and then of Governor included the height of the speculative inflation from the limited liability companies, the unpre cedented panic of 1866, and the consequent long period of distress, and throughout the whole of this anxious time it has been his fortune to be regarded with unqualified confidence and esteem by all con nected with the mercantile and banking interests of the City of London. He is succeeded by Mr. R. W. Crawford, M.P. for London. The report of the directors of the Rio Janeiro Gas Company (Limited) recommends a dividend for the half-year at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum. The results of the half-year's operations of the General Bank of Switzerland will not permit of the distribution of a dividend for the six months end ing December last. The reports from the iron manufacturing dis tricts of France and Belgium are very favourable. Two or three failures are reported in the Brad ford worsted trade. Messrs. Burton and Brook, woolstaplers, whose liabilities are stated to be from £30,000 to £40,000, have called a meeting of their creditors ; and a similar step has been taken by Mr. H• Watkinson, worsted spinner, and Mr. Josh. Walker, woolstapler. DitiTISII FUNDS-TWU O'CLOCK GOVERNMENT FUNDS. 3 per Cent. Consols ........................... 1 Ditto for A ccount 931 1 8 per Cent. Reduced, ...............

AYTOLTN asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he was aware that a pro clamation had been issued by Mr. Edward Sholton, Mayor of the borough of Tynemouth, giving notice that any persons attending the lectures delivered by Mr. Murphy at North Shields, o❑ the stb, 6th, alai 7th inst., and who shall pay money for admission to the place where such lectures are to be delivered, are liable to a penalty of £2O under the provisions of the Act 39 Geo. 3, cap. 79 a. 15; and, whether, in his opinion, the Mayor of Tyne mouth has, by issuing such a proclamation, exceeded his authority. Mr. BRUCE said he was aware such proclamation had been issued, and he hoped the Mayor had not exceeded his authority as he a c t e d by his (Mr. Bruce's) auth or it y and under his dire c ti on . M u rphy bad delivered lectures in the North and his route had been marked with disturbances and interruptions. He acknowledged that the Act was very stringent and was only applicable to extreme cases; be considered this to be an extreme case, and when the Mayor heard that Murphy intended to deliver a lecture at Tynemouth, he applied to the Home Office, and by his (Mr. Bruce's) directions, the Mayor issued the proclamation. (Hear, hear.) MARRIED WOMEN'S PROPERTY. BILL. Mr. RUSSEL GURNEY moved the second reading of this bill, and said that up to the present time the state of the law was that the husband has absolute dominion over the property of his wife, and absolute dominion over all that the wife might ol.taiu by her own labour. In the last census it was shown that Buo,ooo women were earning wages, aid it was upon this large class that the laws bore with great severity, and the rich certainly would not have toler:,ted such a law for any length of time, had they not bad their - remedy in the Com Is of Equity. The learned gentleman referred to cases in which a wife had been driven from her home by the brutality of her husband, and when she had saved sufficient to start in business her husband had come down upon the goods and exercised his conjugal rights. There were no doubt Several modes cf providing a partial remedy, but he thought the only remedy was the remedy contained in the MI -namely, that the wife should be allowed to retain her own , with the same rights, and subject to the same liabilities, as her husband. Ho asked the Louse to assent to the second reading of the bill, and he would then propose that the bill be referred to a select committee in order that the Clauses might be more satis factorily examined. Such a bill was in force now in India and Upper Canada. Ho thought his bill would alleviate very great hardships and remedy an unjust law. (Left Sitting;.) PRICEOF The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and Lie short exchange on London is 251. 171 c. per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold at the above price is of about the same value in Lon uou and Paris. The course of exchange at New York on London for bilis at CO days' sight was on the last date about 1071 percent. At this rate there is no p ro fi t on the importation of gold from the Unilcd States. toreign Itlail k i tteiiet List. MAILS DUE, Australia and New Zealand, via S outhamptoa.....

This plan of convoying passengers and luggage at a cheap rate has heretofore been tried several times, but has always failed in consequence of the meagro capital employed. Now, however, the Erie Railroad has adopted the idea, and has ordered the construction of 25 cabs on the French pattern, to run from their depot. The fare to any part of the city is to be 50 cents per passenger. RENTS IN NEW YORK.—The result of a careful search through New York cly for a house showed that in the entire space included between Madison-avenue and Sixth-avenue, from Fourteenth-street up to Fiftieth street, there were very f e w hous es of which the rout was as low as $3,000, and these wore small and undesirable. ihsre Itsilws,ys. st Br:AO' and Exeter ...... 100 77 79 St tialedonian ....... 100 101 St St Cambrian 20 Cornwall all 21 zi at Dublin Belfast June lOO 77 79 st Dun„l'erth,,k Ab.Junc lOO 70 72 2) East London all 6 7 Do 15 2/ Do 10 at Glasgow &S.

His epistle respecting the abolition of workmen's livrets has been followed by another touching the approaching hundredth anniversary of the " Great" Napoleon's birth day. This anniversary will fall on the 15th of August. His Majesty suggests chat the best way to honour the memory of the great conqueror is to spread a little com fort amongst his old companions in arms. "My desire is that from the 15th August next every soldier of the Republic and of the First Empire should receive an annual pension of 250 f." Well, no doubt the Corps Ldgislatif will make no objection to granting this sum, and the more so as it is perfectly well aware that it cannot help itself. Two hundred and fifty francs represent ten pounds a year. This is not much for Buonaparte's old soldiers, but it accurately represents the reward of glory. Go through such strifes as Austerlitz, Eylau, or Talavera, struggle through the campaigns in Egypt and Syria, escape by the skin of your teeth the horrors of the Russian inva-ion, get clear of Leipsic, and finally termiva'.e your military . career at Waterloo iu 1517;, and you are rewardel with ten pounds a year when you have arrived at the brink of the gravein 180. Certainly no one can object to this grant of ten pounds a year to the few old men who survivt the butcheries of their commander. But the time 10417 seems pro pitious for very great glorification of lqiil;2"nl I. At least it might have been put off until Vie 15th of August arrives. To say that "to do honour to the memory of great men is to recognise one of the most striking manifestations of the Divine will," is all very well ; but few people in these days are inclined to regard the first French Emperor as a very striking manifestation of the Divine will. 11e certainly enjoys the distinction of having done more injury to the human race than any other individual that ever lived. If this be a manifestation of the Divine will, it ought to be suitably acknowledged. But the Emperor Napoleon I. represents a policy of ambition, of conquest, and of boundless sacrifice of the human race to the will of one, which is no longer the policy of the French people. The last generation but one was with Napoleon through weal or woe; but the present takes a different view of life. It desires peace and prosperity, and not Russian invasion. The Emperor would have done Well to bare proposed that the old soldiers, instead of ten pounds, should receive twenty, and have said nothing about manifestations of the Divine will. The Marquis de Lavalette has been congratulated by the diplomatic body on his last speech. Of all the Ambas sadors here assembled Lord Lyons expressed his satisfac tion in the warmest terms. A story which has obtained general currency needs correction. The Emperor and his son were at the Marche races on Sunday, and the former espied from the Imperial tribune Queeu Isabella waking amongst the crowd like any oth( r private individual. His Majesty immediately descended, and escorted the Queen to the Impe rial stand. This is all correct. But it is added that Don Carlos was present at the races, and that the Queen and the Pretender shook hands. This story is more than questionable. Don Carlos was not present at the races, or at least did not come near either the Emperor or the ex-Queen. Such a reconciliation would have been extraordinary indeed at a time when the Carlist partisans are preparing for an effort, which, if successful, will exclude Isabella as effectually as it will undo the work of the revolution. A rising at the end 0; the month in favour of Don Carlos is confidently spoken of. It is said that the leader of the Pretender's forces will be Martinez, a soldier of fortune, who served as a volunteer through the Crimean campaign. The prophets all affirm that the Carlists can have no chance whatever ; that their rising will lead only to useless blood shed. Be that as it may, it is clear that no time can be more favourable than the present. There was a great manifestation at the close of the ser vice at which the Papal Nuncio celebrated the Pope's jubilee. Loud shouts of " Vive Pius IX." greeted the Ambassador as he quitted the church. At Versailles the jubilee was celebrated by fireworks. Lyons, Toulouse, Bordeaux, Avignon, and other towns were brilliantly illuminated. But Paris appears to have distinguished itself chiefly by its obscurity. Another French missionary has shed his blood in Asia in behalf of the Catholic faith. M. Jean-Francois Rigaud, of the diocese of Besancon, has perished in the Sn Tchuen, a province where the persecution of Christians is particularly violent. According to the account in the papers here, the missionary was " cut to pieces on the steps of his aitar, and m)re than 100 of his converts perished with him." It is likely that the late disthrlyinces at - Reunion Wi IRVE the effect of changii g the government of the island, The Patric states that el.cl:oral institutions are to be granted to the colony. ARCHBISLIOP mANNIxa ox SECRET SOCIETIES. On Monday Dr. Manning preached at Islington and made some allusion to Secret Societies. Franco had taken the .ead of the other counties of the Continent in this respect, and society had been tainted by such illegal associations. The revolutionary principles promulgated in France had produced a bad effect in Italy. They all knew of the con spiracies organised by eesi g nin g men to overthrow the Government of the Pope. Ere was seldom free from cowardly machinations, and his person was not safe from these vile conspiracies. lie might die in exile, where so many of his predecessors bad died, but he would never compromise the dignity of, or the independence of, the Church. The Church had always set her face against these societies; and the Pope bad declared all those who belonged to them to bo excommunicated. In conclusion, the Archbishop said that the Pop 3 might die in exile, but the Vicar of Christ would live ; St. Peter's might be torn down, but tho Papacy would remain. THE METROPOLITAN STRTET TRAM- WAYS COMMITTEE. This committee reassembled on Tuesday (Mr. Sclater- Booth in the chair). After a long consideration, the public were admitted, and the chairman stated that the committee were of opinion that the preamble of the Metropolitan Street Tramways Bill was proved, with the following reservations :—First, less the " Ilercub s Buildings' " Loop ; second, limitation of monopoly ; third, purchase by street authorities at some future time; fourth, police regulations to be preserved; and, fifthly, the bye-laws to receive the Home Office approval. The Pimlico, Peckham, and Greenwich Street Tram ways, which is virtually an unopposed Bill, - and supported by the inhabitants in the respective districts was then proceeded with, " THE BOOK OF J.ASHER." The circumstances under which Mr. C. W. Rankin, M.A., Head Master of King Edward Vl.'s Grammar School at Southampton, was censured by the Southampton Charity Trustees for recommending Dr. Donaldson's " Book of Jasher " to the Library of the Hartley Institution, are explained in a somewhat long correspondence which has been printed. What Mr. Hankin did, it seems, was not to " recommend," but to " suggest " the purchase of the book, which he had not read. For this the trustees, acting on the motion of the Rev. Mark Cooper, rector of St. Mary's, Southampton, passed a resolution expressing a hope that Mr. nankin would disavow "the obscene and sceptical opinions" of the book, and remove - the sugges tion which he had caused to be entered in the suggestion book of the Hartley Institution. In subsequent letters Mr. nankin contested the right of the trustees to review what be had done as a subscriber to the library, and objected to their characterising a book written by a clergyman of the church of England, and quoted without reprobation in various standard works, such as Dr. Smith's "Dictionary of the Bible," as "scep tical and obscene." Finally, the trustees passed the following resolution :—" That the trustees are glad to learn from Mr. Hankin's reply to their resolution of the 29th of March that he has not studied the book in ques tion. They are, therefore, bound to acquit him of inten tional wrong in the matter." Peter Connor, who was arrested on Suspicion for .be murder of Marit Fiizsimonq, was again brought before Mr. Alderman Stone at the Guildhall on Tuesday, and lib2rated. On TueEday a Pafiame tary return was pu')- lifilled, showing the nun b r f eonvi t 3 iseharge.l from or retained in convict prisons in or to this country in the years ending 31st March, 1865, 1866, 1867, and 1868. This return shows a large deer, ass during the last two years in the number of convicts liberated on limns°. Under date " Ilavannab, March 30," the New York papers publish a telegram announcing that the British con sul had sent her Britannic Majesty's steamer lferon to Caiba-: rien to investigate the affair of the British schooner Jeff Davis, which was captured in Bahama Channel, and two of the passengers shot. The captain and crew of the Jeff Davis *ere still in prison at Caibarien.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CAUTION TO CARMEN.—James Riches, a carman in the employ of Mr. Cleaver, master carman, Of Cork-street, Camberwell, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with cruelty to a horse by working it in.an unfit state. Mr. P. Eckstein, a gentleman, residing at:No. 8, Argyle s'reet, Kensington, proved soein; two horses attached to a van laden with three tons of rice, staryling in Oxendol street, yester.lay afternoon. One of the horses was standing on three legs, it was also - broken-winded. aged, and iu a very weak state, and it bore signs of ill usage. . . _ Ho communicated that morning with the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Auiinik, and one of the officers was present. A coustal•le gave similar evidence, and said the pri soncr was using a knotted whip. George Young, au officer of the Royal society for the Prevention of Cruelty t) Animals, said the horse was suf fering from permtnout lameness, an 1 only lit to bc killed. The prisoner said t 7 ie horse hurt itself through slipping in Fleet-street. Mr. Tyrwhitt fined the prisoner 40s. or a month, at the same time informing him that he was liable to three months' imprisonment without a fine for cruelty. If the horse was worked again the owner had better be sum moned, and he hoped the society's offic_rs would keep a watch on the other horse. WESTMINSTER. DELECTABLE SIMPLICITY.—Frederick Thornton, a re spectable-looking youth, about 18 yoars of age, was charged with being drunk and creating a disturbance at his parents' house, 8, Oakley-terrace, Chelsea. Defendant's mother, the wife of a clerk in the Post office, said that defendant lived with them. He came home on Sunday morning at about one o'clock, and went out again, waking up the family by slamming the street door after him. At three o'clock he returned and rung the bell violently, but she refused to let him in in conse quence of his drunkenness and fear that he and his father would have words. Mr. Arnold—Has this ever occurred before ? Mother—lie has boon drunk, but never misconducted himself in this way. I havo no wish to press tho charge, as he has already had punishment enough. Police Inspector—This prisoner escaped from our custody on Monday morning and was not captured again until last night. _ _ Prisoner-4 had no idea of escape. I thought I was at liberty to go. Mr. Arnold—How did ho get away ? Inspector—Another prisoner ivhde being taken to the van became very violent, and while we were securing him, defendant escaped from the passay. Defendant —Well, I thought I might go, tuld I walked away; I did not know that they wantid ma aay lon ge r. Defendant was ordered to find ono surety fur his good behaviour. THAMES. STEALING JACKETS.—John Boone and Daniel M'Carthy, rough-looking thieves, were brought before Mr. Benson charged with stealing two jackets, valued at 17s. 6d. each, the property of James Jackson and William Evans, dray men, in the service of Taylor, Walker, and Co., brewers. The draymen were delivering beer at a public-house in Ratcliff ; and while they were absent in the house their jackets, which had recently cost them 17s. 6d. each, were stolen. A police-constable named Childs, 193 was sent for by Mr. Carpenter, a pawnbroker in Cannon street-road, who had detained Boone, and produced one of the stolen jackets which had been offered to hint in pawn by the prisoner, who said he had picked it up. Mr. Carpenter said, " Off a dray, I am sure ;" served him, and would not let him go. Boone said that M'Carthy gave him the jacket. Foster, 207 K, went to the dwelling of M'Carthy, in Blacksmiths' Arms-place, Back Church-lane, St. George's-in -the-East, where he found him, and asked him for the drayman's jacket he had stolen. M'Carthy said he had stolen no jacket, and added, "If my fellow lodger is in trouble, he has no reason to get another gen tleman in the same predicament. M'Carthy here said—l don't know this gentleman at all. Mr. Benson—What gentleman? M'Carthy, pointing to Boone—Why, this here gentle man. (Loud laughter.) 1 Yostjr—Both prisoners live in the same house ; and I believo M'Carthy has pawned the other jacket. .11'earthy—No, I arnt. Foster—The two draymen each laid out nearly a week's wages in buying a new jacket last week. Mr. Benson said that Mr. Carpenter had behaved well La the matter, and remanded both prisoners for a week.
