Our letters from Alexandria state that the Egyp tian Government h ave j ust ma d e an arrangemen t With the Suez Canal Company which puts an end to every anterior and future claim. Until now there were still several questions undecided, out of which claims and demands of indemnities might bave ari sen, which would have proved onerous to the _ gYrdan Government. One of these questions, in fact the principal one, was the concession given by ciie Said Pasha to the C ompany o f exempt i on f rom a ll on every kind of merchandise and material ' re ported into E g y p t— a most d angerous grant as regards the future. " With the new port of Port Said established, it might have led to immense Olieulties, claims, and disputes." The Viceroy has now succeeded in annulling that concession together 'with other rights which the Canal Company had considered themselves to have by a simple ar rangement, involving no liability to pay any ready money, nor any present or future real demand on the Treasury. It provides for the extinction of the concession in its every detail, and in future the Company will have to pay duties for all merchandise imported, the same as every individual in the coun try, and the company cease to have any special pri vilege on the navagation of the fresh -water climb and must submit to the same taxations and regula tions as those established for strangers. It leaves to the Egyptian Government in future the mono poly of the postal and telegraphic service through out the Canal, as well as the fishery of the whole of the waters, including the Lakes. The company further cede to the Government all the hospitals, with their material, throughout the isthmus, and all the houses, constructions, and warehouses along, the Canal, with the exception of those in the prin cipal towns established, such as Ismaliah and Port Said, and will pay 5 per cent. per annum of their value (as rent) for any which they may still wish to occupy or make use of after the present date. Al these concessions of rights on the part of the company are made for the sum of £1,200,000.. BRITISH FUNDS-=CLOSING PRICES. n CiOVERNMENT rUNDS. 0 Per Cent.

S7'ATE OF 71RA DE. MANCHESTER, May 18. —The market for shipping yarns has been very strong to-day, and a fair busi ness has been done at the prices freely obtainable last week. Spinners look forward to rather more activity after the holy days. There are a good many orders in the market, with a disposition to do busi ness. In home trade yarns there has been a steady market, with little or no change in prices since Friday, and just a moderate business offering. The impression is that things are not worse than last Tuesday. For cloths there has been rather a large general business since last Tuesday in nearly all descriptions of goods suitable to India and China ; and, notwithstanding the holidays, buyers show a disposition to go on but for the ten dency to higher prices, which acts as a decided check to business. Makers, however, are a little more independent, owing to the orders which have been booked during the last eight or ten days, and id. a piece is required as an advance in price in consequence of many manufacturers being well under orders. 'There have been some large sales, but they are exceptions, and the general run of transactions have been modorate. 17 . —The hopes ent er t a i ne d l ast CARDIFF, May week of the steam -coal trade speedily attaining a more satisfactory position have been again doomed to disappointment by the unfavourable winds which have prevailed and prevented vessels arriv ing at the docks, and as there has been nothing to check the departure of laden vesseastehpeasdtomckosntaht the present time do not present su c h a p l easing aspect as could be desired. During o the exports of steam coal reached 162,085 tone, against 190,178 in the previous month, and 182,4415 tons in the corresponding mouth of last year, th e decrease being caused principally by the dulness of trade, although some difficulty was experienced by merchants and shippers in obtaining suitable ton nage for the more distan t ports. 'Tie house coal trade also shows a falling off. LEEDS, 18th.—There have been but a few buyers in the cloth-halls this morning, it being the V hit touf n ttirdaen transactions c l t i o a n y s s .

DUBLIN, Tacsclay Evening. At 2 o'clock this morning a serious collision oc curred in the Channel, about ten miles from Bel fast, between the Marquis of Abet corn, which left Dublin . at 5 p.m. yesterday with a large cargo for Glasgow, and the Lord Gough, which sailed about the same hour from Glasgow for this port. The Marquis of Abercorn was struck near her paddle boxes, and in less than one hour she began to sink. As the water rose in the vessel the boilers burst, and the cattle, wh:ch formed a great part of the cargo, were thrown into the sea. A frightful scene of confusion took lilac:, but happily the crew and passengers were all saved. Both vessels belong to the Dublin and Glasgow Steam Packet Comrany. THE ell WWII CaNGPESS OF 1867."

NATIONAL SPORTS. -----~- The Derby favourite's have changed positions to some slight extent during the last two or three days. Pretender was not quite so firm on Monday as during the latter part of last week, offers of 900 to 400 not being responded to, while in nosingle instance was 7 to 4 laid that he gets a place, as was frequently the case a few days since. The slight retrogression of the favourite caused inquiries to be made after Pero Gomez, about whom 3 to 1 was taken to a little money, though offered in thousands. The public rage for Belladrum still conVnues, the support he obtains from general investors being the prime cause of his being kept at the short price of 9 to 2. On Monday these odds were taken to large amounts by commissioners in the interests of their country clients, one of these functionaries alone backing him to win £2,000. Perry Down was heartily supported at from 40 to 25 to 1, and Ryshworth was regarded so favourably as to come down to the compara tively short price of 20 to 1, but at Bath yester day be recede dtoso to 1 (offered). The remaining candidata. were for the most part in bad odour. The training reportr. from Lambourne speak well of Bella drum's latest doings. On Saturday, according to one of the tuts, " the Drum did all that was asked of him." He was led by Pixel:ue a sharp canter of a mile, and pulled up in excellent form. On Stmday he did a mile and a half at a very steady pace. From Middleham we learn that Pretender is still doing his work. Ire does his two-mile gallops in excellent form, and has never, say the reports, been seen in better condition. At Kingscicar Pero Gomez is led generally by Rosicrucian or Blue Gown. The' mile-and-a-half gallops are well per formed both by the Derby favourite and by Morna, the prominent candidate for the Oaks. On Saturday a full pace gallop was tried, Pero Gomez pulling up in the best condition. From Newmarket the reports state that Eyshworth is doing remarkably good work with Blueskin. AFFRAY BETWEEN NAVVIES AIND POLICEMA At the Worship-street Police Court on Tile; day Dav:d White was I laced at the bar on a a art ant, before Mr. Newton, charged with havirg violently assaulted a police-constable of the N division. I'o:ice-constable WU: nt llohnes said that on Saturday night last, atout half-past sav,n, riot took place at. Lea Ilridgo, letwccn s nie vies, and tcLich the police were called on to suppress. A ceu , tablo (67 N was strogg'ing with a man, sad witness went to assist him. A s end cons!able then cline rp to bizi ail, and lie (witness) then saw the prisoner Lull about L .1 1 a t rick at him, which struck the con stable (Ward, k 79) on the In al, and he fell to the ground insensible. The pri,,onor ran away, but Y. lines°, wl.O kintw lain well, gave information. Mr. Newton asked how the injured man was? Inspector Clement, N division, said nat he was worse, and Lando(' iu a certificate Rota Dr. Wright, the divi sional surgeon, which certified that Police-constable, 79 N, was suffering flout concession of the brain, was in a Ye ry dangerous slat-, and unab l e to attend the court. lir. Newton remanded the accused, ani, reins.d to take bail, as it was not improbable the man might die. FATALIES AT SEA. The news of two painful disab::ers at sea has just been received. Intelligence has reachet. Liverpool from Queenstown of the total loss by fire of the :hip Blue Jacket off the Cape of Good Hope. The Blue J' -et was homeward bound from Lyttelton, New Zealand, and bad on board a very valuable cargo. Her crew and passengers numbered 77 persons, of whom 35 are missing. It is not known how the fire originated, but all attimpts to subdue it failed, and the master (Captain White), the chief officer, six of the crew, and all the passengers, 34 in number, took to the boats. After enduring severe privations for a week they were picked up on the 16th March by the ship Pyrrnout. One of the passengers died shortly after. The other officers and 31 of the crew took to the two lifeboats, but are still missing. The ship and cargo were fortu nately fully insured, but the cargo was very valuable, there being 15,7360 z. gold, value £63,300, besides £65,000 worth of wool. £4,000 specie was saved in the long boat, but there was 14,000 more in each of the lifeboats, besides 153,000 lost in the ship. The Pyrmont reached Queenstown on Monday afternoon with the news. The other disaster is the loss by fire of the Omar Pasha, but, happily, in this case there was no loss of life. The Omar Pasha was bound from Brisbane to London. Her cargo of wool, beef, tallow, &c., was valued at £30,000, and it was said she had also 130,000 in specie. The telegram announcing the disaster is dated from Gibraltar. The I ship was abandoned on the 27th of April, but where is not stated. Another tragical story of older. date has just been told in this country. The barque Java left Massachussetts on a whaling voyage to the South Polar Sea so far back as December 1367. At Cape Verde Islands nine Portuguese sailors were added to the crew, one of whom was accidentally drowned. The captain blamed one of the sailors for the accident, and placed him in irons. The rest of the crew mutinied, mur , dered the third mate, and severely injured the first mate. The ringleaders then deserted the ship, and took to sea in a small boat. They suffered greatly from want of pro. visions, but at length reached Java. They were arrested by order of the American Consul and put in prison,' where one of them died. They have since been removed to New York, where they await their trial. The resolution submitted to the Fcnian meeting held at Cork on Saturday, which we have already described as a failure, was as follows :—" That we, the citizens of Cork, in this meeting assembled, do mast emphatically condemn the conduct of Daniel O'Sulli van, Esq., our late mayor, who, after having been elected by the people as their representative, and after having keen sum orted by the force of public opinion, has choFen to desert his host and betray the confidence placed in him, thereby It tiding the English and Scotch Parliament end people to believe that the Irish nation has any conti (knee in foreign legislation." The noise and confusion was co great that it Wag not possible to carry it.. We lave already briefly reported the death, under v(ry dis:russing circumstances, of lady Firth. The inquest was held on Monday, at Bolton Bridge, and the evidence showed that the unfortunate lady left the hotel, where she and her husband had been staying for the last few days, apparently in good health and spirits, on Saturday morning. She was not again seen until her body was discovered in the River Wharfs, at a spot about 200 yards below the Ab bey, known as the Duke's Bathing-place. All her jewellery was fatted upon the body, and there being no evidence to account for the manner in which she got into the water, an open verdict of "Found drowned" was returned. The sad event has cast quite a gloom over the' the biding. In the afternoon the Cody of Lady Firth wasket=yed t 0 the 1 . 01301.0.24 §iickgith EI'IRIT OF THE :PUBLIC JOURNALS. The Times asks the Americanfeto consider calmly what they have to acknowledge, as well as to complain of, in the matters now actually in dispute. We did beyond doubt treat a civil war in America as if it were an ordinary war, instead of regarding it as something altogether exceptional and beyond the application of ordinary rules. It is no secret that the leaders of the secession did build their hopes to a great extent upon the action of this country. They confidently calculated not only on " recognition," but on intervention. There was a time when the Americans would have made any bargain with us to avert this dreaded intervention, ant. at that same time, as they well know, we were pressed to intervene by an ally so powerful that if tl.e combined weight of the two nations had been thrown into the scale against the North, the Southern half of the Union A% mild never have been re covered. Yet we resisted these solicitations and we endured the loss of the greatest trade in the world, rather than depart from that Leutiality for which we al e now prose cuted. Mr. Sumner says we are chargeahle fur half the war. Poo those who approve his w.rds forget that Mr. Jefferson Davis said the very same thing? 'J he Confede rate President declared in the heat of the contest that, but fer the prodigious supplies which the Tederals drew from this country, the war would not have lasted six months. Mr. Ada ins, in his correspondence with Lord Russell, made admissions to the same dire. A:1 intelligent Americans know, and all candid Americans would admit, that the cominct of our Government during their civil war either was, or v:.13 intended to be, void of offence towards them. If the plivate opinions or sympathies of a people arc to lie flow made, for tl.e first time in history, a subject of international litigation, the Americans should ask themselves to what countercharges they would themselves be liable in a cause so founded ; but the wiser course is to put such matters out of the'question altogether, and con fine the scope of diplomatic negotiations to such affairs as are within the cognizance of public law. The Staxdard says that in the brief interval which will elapse between the final stage of amendment in the House of Commons and the first reading in the Upper House, it may be useful once more to review the progress of the Irish Church Bill in committee, and recapitulate the fate of the various amendments proposed. The matters already pointed out as particularly objectionable were the price charged for the gleLe-Louse, the confiscation of the northern glebe-lands, given by a Protestant King for Pro testant purposes ; the injustice of not allowing the tithe rent charge payer an equivalent for his present legal right to deduct poor rate, and the adoption of fourteen years' value as a measure of capitalisation for Maynootl► but not for the Clud!. The price for the glebe-houses has been reduced from twelve to ten years; the Church Body may buy, or refuse to buy, as seems expedient ; the result of this being in round numbers that the houses may be had for (according to Mr. Gladstone's calculation) about X 90,000, instead of for about £2C0,000, as proposed in the original scheme. The landlords are now allowed fifty-two instead of forty-five years to redeem the tithe rent-charge, and instalments are to be allowed for poor rate. These are the whole concessions of any pecuniary value, and after a fair and full allowance for them, the bill remains a monument of unrelenting confiscation and oppression. Whether as such it should be wholly rejected, or allowed to be read a second time by the House of Lords, is for the Conservative leaders in that House to determine, but cer tain we are that under no circumstances should it be allowed to become law without provisions enabling a general and not an individual commutation of life incomes, and the preservation of glebe-houses free of charge, and of the Ulster glebes for the new Church. The Daily News remarks that Lord Cairns has every qualification for leadership, except its conscious power. A very acute and shrewd, and not unkindly critic, with unusual opportunities of observation, has described Lord Cairns as less the leader of the Tory party than their man of business. He is their confidential agent, their bailiff, or their land-steward, rather than their chief. This cha racter is the more conspicuous from the fact that Lord Cairns succeeds Lord Derby—for the ref -faineant period of Lord Malmesbury's vain efforts to lead need not be taken into account. Lord Derby spoke as a feudal chief giving orders to his vassals ; Lord Cairns speaks like an attorney who has received his instructions—in each case, of course, with decent disguise and circumlocution. In both there is a kind of self-confidence ; hut in the one it is the self-confidence of the smart man of business. in the other of conscious personal ascendancy -and social superiority. In manner, address, and in yet smaller matters, Lord Cairns is the brisk professional man. He altogether wants the easy negligence of Lord Derby and Lord Salisbury. He exercises no magnetic influence upon his party. He is not in social feeling sufficiently at one with them to I_c sure that in speaking his own mind he is speaking theirs ; nor Las he the authority to impose his mind upon them. He is prosa . c and lawyer-like. The difficulty which this fact presents will probably be evaded during what remains of the present session by Lord Derby's return to the field to take the command of the Conserva tive forces the battleuf the Irish Church. Lord Cairns will make an excellent second, and will probably do, and do well, the work which Dr. Ball discharged in the House of Commons. When the next great occasion arises, he may have more thoroughly learned his business ; or Lord Salisbury, who is the natural leader of the Tory party, may be ready to assume the place which awaits him. The TeTe:. mph. thinks that tie rt cent news from America seems to confirm the justice of the original opinion, that the immediate importance of Senator Sumner's speech had been somewhat over-estimated in this country. It is now more than ever clear that neither the speaker nor his audience interpreted the remediable utterance in the sense of a distinct declaration of hostility ; and, though we see no reason to modify our view regarding the injustice and extravagance of his solemn indictment against Eng land, we note with satisfaction that the Americans appear to agree with ns in considering it rather as an expression 9f public opinion than as an official exposition of national policy. For the present we anticipate no immediate action with reference to the Alabama claims. It is, no doubt, undesirable that the question should be left open ; but, in the present excited condition of American feeling, we see no possibility of arriving at any very speedy and satis factory settlement. Beyond a general desire to do what is right and fair, this country has no interest whatever in concluding an Alabama Convent:on, except in so far as . such an agreement might protect our own commerce here. afte: from depredations similar to those which Captain • 'Noted upon the Federal merchant marine.

An excellent service, bow,e. , 7 orld rendered, not to the two c ountries onl y , but to the at large, if the representative statesmen of each nation will but honestly and faithfully keep their people informed on the actual views and state of feeling in the other country—and will Outs, by force of that reciprocal " understanding" which is the basis of all trust and friendship, pave the way towards a conciliatory and final settlement. The Times heartily welcomes the address of Archbishop Leahy. There is much in the style of his order that generally offends English taste. The chi-As of the Church are often stilted and verbose, and in Ireland there is some thing ostentatious and condescending in theirloyalty, which rather provokes one at hating to accept it. The gist of th e archiepiscopal address is that Irishmen should obey tl:e laws, abstain from the sin of bloolguiltineas, and await the changes which popular opinion and the altered spirit ' of British statesmen will shortly produce. The moral reprobation of m n rder conveyed in the Archbishop's address 'is entirely satiafttetory, and will, we trust, produce excel lent effects.. The political argument is hardly of the same weight, for though it is equaliy intended to dissuade tenants from taking the last vengeance into their own hands, the conclusion as against minor agitation is not so clear. Whatever may lie the reasoning by which the higher Romish priesthood arrives at the aonelusion that it is its duty to interf e re en e r ge ti ca lly anti down th lcomeders of Westmeath and Tipp er ary, we sha.. ll e disor we the result. We should be glad to find theM na:!ignant at the crime, without an argumentation which may .Qeem to extenuate it ; hut, allowing for national and religiot,s prepossessions, the part the Boorish clergy have taken is no doubt touch ti their credit, and we cannot afford to neglect such allies. Let the priesthood consider, as, in fact, the Archliiehop tells his flock, that the less of outrage there is, the mare likely is Parliament to approach with due consideration the question of thewrong.; of Ireland. Without bartering their support for favourable legis lation, the whole body of Irish priests can advance the political cause of their country by restoring, as fa as in them lies, social tranquillity during the period which must elapse before the new Irish legislation is brought to a close. It is vet y far from our intention, says the Post, to impute insincerity to the Holy See, or to Archbishop Leahy. But when we are told that there is no criminal conspiracy, we must say the actual condition of Ireland appears to de. =nil a better explanation, and particular!y since the A rchhishep admits in effect that the Irish Roman Catholics lave no secrets which are not open to their clerical guar dians. It is a large and frank admission of sacerdotal ascendancy. It is an acceptance of respnisibility which cannot possibly be exaggerated. The Roman Catholic clergy are certainly not answerable-for the crimes of a few desperadoes ecting singly. They have black sheep in their flochs, as other shepherds have. But it comes to this—that no organised movement can be from their searching inspection, and almost that such a movement depends on their countenance or conni vance. If they denounce it from the altar it fails dead at their feet. Its life is in their hands. It seems, however, if we are not misinformed as to the procedure in this instance, that the Pope felt bound to complain of the reti• cence they observed in the presence of outrages which offended the public conscience, and that Archbishop Leahy's pastoral was dictat ed by an instructed appreci a. tion of events. This is not the lan interpreting the Pope's sentiments the Archbishop has, guage of reproach, In we are convinced, expressed his own views. Still we may be permitted to hope that in the perion of transition or which Ireland is entering the Holy Father will-contribute to the restoration of the peace and order which are easen• tial to the ha vas and u:2aperitx2l23wila l g e . l 7_4 4. tattOSSta-trrt , • Osprey Needle Gun Reflection Gamos I,ioness f holland d ;• THIRD youroN NOTICh.
