There were no gold operations at the Bank yes terday. The only transaction during the week since the date of the last return has been a withdrawal of £25,000. Tue Union, for New York, has taken out £73,000 in gold—most probably from the Continent in pay ment for bonds. _ _ _ The dividend court of proprietors of the Bank of England is convened for the 18th inst. The new Russian Railway Loan appears to have been brought out in an inopportune moment in Berlin and Amsterdam, most of the Continental Bourses being now in an extremely sensitive state owing to the speculative mania which has prevailed throughout the winter, so that any political rumour circulated by adverse operators at once creates alarm. With regard to the intrinsic value of these Russian railway securities, the feeling in the first instance was very favourable, owing to the belief that they would powerfully develope the great natural resources of the country, coupled with the faith in the financial honesty of the Russian Go vernment, which was especially strengthened by its conduct during the Crimean war. But the Empe ror and his Ministers seem totally unable to un derstand that the best credit iu the world may be speedily destroyed by mismanagement, and a con dition of the market has at length been induced in London for which there can be no remedy except from a precise and unreserved declaration that no further issues will he made, either directly or indi rectly until after the lapse of some distant and well defiued period. With reference to the tenders for the Victorian (Australia) Railway Loan for £2,107,000, it ap pears that of the £643,200 which was applied for at and above the minimum, about £300,000 was 'written for under fictitious names and addresses, including the tender for £150,000 at £lO2. The total actually placed is, therefore, only £343,000. A petition, signed by 1,800 owners, lessees, oc cupiers of land, and inhabitants of the district, has been presented to Parliament against the proposed abandonment of the railway between Settle and Carlide, now sought by the Midland Railway Company. In connection with the affairs of the Loudon, Chatham and Dover Railway, it is proposed to apply to the Court of Chancery for payment out of the moneys iu the hands of the company of the 1 ist half-year's interest on the debentures of the cow 1-any, excepting that ou the debentures of the link line from Farringd3n-street to Earl-street, there being au over-issue ou this portion. Application Rill be made to the Court that the amount on the latter debentures, and of all other debts claiming to rank before debentures, be paid into Court to await the final decision. The proposed pay ment will in no degree affect the question of the priorities. At the adjourned meeting of the Metropolitan Railway Company the chairman stated that since the previous meeting the dirt ctors had been in coin niunieation with Mr. Salisbury, by whom the in junction in Chancery had been obtained, and that it had been arranged he should abstain from all further proceedings, on the uuderetanding that no attempt should be made to divide the £42,000 re ceived from the contractors. The board recom mended the shareholders to accept this proposal. The report and accounts were then adopted, a re solution was passed to place the £42,000 to credit of capital account, and a dividend at the rate of 41- per cent. was declared. The London and North Western Railway traffic returns show this week an increase of £466 over l ast year ; the Midland an increase of £6,048 ; the Great Northern an increase of £670 ; the Great Western au increase of £1,147 ; the Great Eastern an increase of £1,214 ; and the Loudon and South Western a decrease of £222. The transfer books of the Anglo-Mediterranean Teiegragph Company will be closed from the 17th to the 20th inst., preparatory to the payment of au interim dividend of 4e. per sLare, free of income t ", on account of profits for the three months end ing the 15th inst. The General meeting of the Societe General de l'E&upire Ottoman will be held on the 13th of May, 4 t Constantinople, to " receive and approve the accounts of the fourth working year ending the 3 1st December, 1868, to hear the report of the Council of Administration, and to fix the divi dend.” BRITISH FUNDS-TWO VOLUOIE GOVERNMENT FUNDS. u Per Ceut.

The two defendan s, Rumble and Gambier, the latter until lately a clerk in the Admiralty, were further exa mined before Sir T. Henry, ou the charge of illegally re ceiving money for procuring the acceptance of certain tenders for stores. Mr. Baxter, the Secretary of the Admiralty, was ex amined to-day—He said that iu the conduct of the office he had now the honour to hold, he brought to bear the experience he had acquired in the conduct of his own busi ness at Dundee as a foreign merchant. He had become ac quainted with the mole of completiugGovernment contracts. He had found that groat firms had nut sent in tenders, and on inquiry why such was the case, they had stated to him that on many occasions they have found themselves unable to ot.taiu contracts, when they believed they might have supplied her M,josty's Government with better articles and on better tennis than firms whose offers were accepted. That t , .:ey hal tendered their offers and had been rejected, th►;y believing that inferior articles had bee❑ supplied. lie hid no means of ascertaining the grounds of their belief, whether in the past they were right or wrung. Since he had Leon iu office he hal de clined on the part of the Admiralty to transact business with certain firms who had dune business with the de partment before. He had, since being in the Admiralty, received numerous complaints, and he had not encouraged sp•cific complaints, because it soon became evident that had he done so the investigations would have occupied the whole of his time. lie had proposed by careful inquiry to try, if it was possible, to prevent such complaints for the future. He •had not actually investi gated any specific case of the complaints since he had been in office, but certain cases were now under consid,.ration. The inquiry commenced six weeks or two mouths ago. He had not had it assigned as a reason that great !huts had declined, in consequence of the trouble of working out Government contracts, by being referred from department to department. Complaints bad not been made to him about being referred from department to de partment. Mr. Maxwell having been re-examined with respect to the representations the prisoner Humble made when he was first called upon, the prisoners were again remanded PUGILISM IN AMERICA. DEFEAT OF AN ENGLISLI PRIZEFIGHTER. The New York papers give an account of a prize tight which took place on Carroll Island, in the Mississippi, near St. Louis, on the 23d ult., between Charles C. Gallagher, of Cleveland, Ohio, and Tom Allen, of Eng land. The fight, it appears, only lasted three minutes. According to the chronicle of this brutal exhibition, iu the second round, " Allen attempted to make a feint with his left, but at the moment he did so Gallagher swtmg in his right, which lauded under the left ear, right on the jugglar vein, which knocked Allen stiff and senseless. Gallagher was declared the victor. MAIIKE7 S -2 lIIS DAY• • March 11.— Sales probably 7,000 bales. Market quiet and unchanged. HAYMARKET THEATRE.—Her Royal highness the Princess Beatrice honoured the above theatre with her presence last evening to witness the performance of the new comedy "Home." THE " THOMAS WRIGIIT " TESTIMONIAL.—Las t evening a conversazione was held at the studio of Mr Charles Mercier, Albert-gate, Hyde Park, chiefly with the view to discuss the merits of his picture, of The Condemned Cell." Some time since a committee was formed, with the Earl of Shaftesbury for president, and the Lord Mayor of Loudon for vice-president, with the object of raising a testimonial to Mr. Thomas Wright, the prison philan thropist. It was only proper that the humane acts of so good a man should be held in remembrance. The form decided upon was pictorial, and Mr. Mercier's picture selected for purchase. To such a man a testimonial is due, and the one selected is of a popular character, for the poor understand pictures better than they understand statues. The conversazione of last evening was well at tended, the studio being crowded by distinguished people foremost among the promoters of ragged-schools, reforma tories, and kindred philanthropic objects.

WRECK OF THE STEAMER CAMBRIA AND Loss OF TWENTY LivEs.—Telegrams from Trieste and Messina, dated March 8, announce the wreck of the Cambria, a large iron screw steamer, employed in the grain trade between those ports and London, with melancholy loss of life.

The ScotcliTresbyterian Church at St. Helier's, Jersey, was the scene of a strange occurrence on Thursday, arising from the following circumstances. Above twelve months ago the management of the church was trans ferred from the Scotch to the English Presbytery. Since that period no regular minister has been appointed, and the services have been conducted by " supplies" sent by the English Presbytery. Some of the supplies were can didates for the office of pastor, and the members of the congregation were divided in their choice of two of them. Neither party would yield to the wish of the other in this matter of choice, and at last another candidate, the Rev. J. J. Muir, succeeded in obtaining a " call," numerousl. signed by the members and congregation, and the call having been accepted by him, Thursday was appointed as the day for his induction. The minority resolved, if possible, to prevent the ceremony from being performed, and with this intent fastened the gates of the church with padlocks Being better advised, however, they removed the locks, and allowed the church to be opened. The c itgation was very numerous, the church being filled. l sermon was preached by the Rev. Robert Taylor, of Comlernell, and the ceremony of induction was performed by the Rev. George Carlisle, moderator of the London Presby tery. At the conclusion of the induction a strange scene was enacted, such as the walls of a church never before witnessed. Mr. Clark, one of the trustees of the church, and who is also one of the minority who are opposed to the appointment of Mr. Muir, left his seat, and, entering one of the aisles and kneeling down, in the hearing and sight of the congregation, raised what is known in Jersey judicature as the Clameur de Haro. This is a form which dates as far back as the time of Rollo, a Norman leader, who occupied a portion of Normandy about 836. It is used on occasions of encroachment or invasion of property of any kind, and requires instant cessation on the part of the aggressor, under penalty of a heavy fine. The aggrieved party, kneeling, cries out, as did Mr. Clark on this occasion, "Haro, Haro, a mon aide, mon prince/ On m'a fait tort!" Those who were unaware of the nature of the clamour were in a state of the greatest surprise and astonishment. The proceedings, however, were not stayed, and Mr. Clark, and his friends left the church, with the intention, it was said, of at once instituting the usual legal proceedings which follow the raising of the clamour.

The Times publishes nearly a page of correspondeneeabout their tour. The correspondent, describing their course up the Nile, says : "The telegraph wires are stretched (with the exception of one break in the Desert, hundreds of miles from this) away to distant Dongola. The finger-posts are visible now and then as we follow the course of the river, , on the banks of which plod for ever the reluctant and impatient camel and the patient peasantry. Pharaoh is bent to-day on swift intercourse with all parts of his far-reaching viceroyalty. The water-wheel in use thousands of years ago still works creakingly by the side of the ancient river, along which now stretch the silent wires through which the message is travelling inaudibly to relate how the Prince and the Princess of Wales reached such a place at such an hour on such a day. Before the smoke of the little fleet has been lost to the, view of the half-scared labourers who stare at the pageant, Cairo knows how the guests of the Viceroy are speeding and faring on their way, and the news travels faster than the steamers which stem the current towards that mystic South where, hid in the mountains of an unknown conti nent, 1;• the source of the great river which, ever changi --s the same, has been a wonder to us through all the centuries that man can count in his history.i What good, then, to come lame and halting, like a broken down, footsore dromedary, with the details of a story which is recorded at every stage as it is made? The details of such a voyage, interesting as they must be to all who arc concerned in the well-being of the Prince and Princess, are necessarily, if given in full, beyond the , limits of a newspaper ; for every day has its own work, and the post only goes once a week. The 'fleet' placed at their disposal consists, first, of the steamer in which the Prince and Princess and their suite spend the day, which tows a diabyab, or Nile boat, in which they sleep, both being fitted up most comfortably and richly. Then there is a steamer in which all the cooking ia carried on, which is called the kitchen,' having in tow a diabyah, with provisions, and ponies, and asses, needed for the personal use of the Prince and Princess. There is also a steamer to act as a tug in case of grounding on the banks. In another steamer there , are embarked Colonel Stanton, C. 8., her Majesty's Consul-General for Egypt, in attendance on the Prince and Princess ; Mourad Pasha and his aide-de-camp, Abd-el-Kader, Professor Owen, Major Alison, Mr. Fowler, Mr. George, telegropher, &c.; and a fifth is assigned to the Duke of Sutherland and his party. For six weeks pasti paillis of men have - teen waiting and watching day and night for the arrival of the flotilla, to pilot them through the channels of the river. They have been sitting along the banks or in boats at every dangerous shallow and bend, and the course is marked o't as far as the Second Cataract by stakes and c h a r a tu n e e l h s es p , at ‘ r v t i l ile ra theb r a t i i i e k s s of to r in eZer on ass i i i s o t r a s n e c b e a cikn caseor on f need, and to direct the helmsmen. The crocodiles do not know what to m a k e o f it , an d as yet are assert i ng the i r right to act as fishes if they please, for the noise and shouting have so scared them that not one has been seen as yet. In addition to the fixed establishment of the navy, there is generally a steamer belonging to some local Governor or Mudir, who comes to wait on the Prince and Princess as long as they are travelling through the jurisdiction of each ; and the Inspector-General of the Nile' himself has been in attendance to do them honour ; in fact, no care and no expense have been spared to render the excursion agreeable ; and, generally speaking, the weather has played the courtier too, and has contributed materially to the pleasure of a very delightful tour. Within the last few mi nutes there has occurre d t h e on l y contretemps — a very slight one—to break the charming monotony of the journey. A mosquito curtain caught fire on board the Prince's boat, in a cabin close to which there was a consi derable stock of gunpowder, The Prince was the first to peres'--- it, and with the aid of the Duke of Suther land others the fire soon extinguished, and would not be worth mentioning were it not for the con sequences which might have ensued had it not been seen in time, and for the momentary alarm it created among those in attendance on the Prince and Princess." The Earl of Wilton has met with a severe accident while out hunting at Melton. It appears that his horse stumbled and threw him, and afterwards tread ing on him, broke two of his ribs and a small bone in his arm. His lordship is, however, progressing favourably. Henry Ward Beecher says he classes among " rational amusements" ten pins, base ball, billiards, horseback, and velocipede riding. On one occasion he said, in a sermon, that he and gas arrived in Brooklyn together, which was interpreted so as to provoke a general titter.

A ROYAL SPONSOR.---It is expected that Princess Louise will christen her Majesty's ship Druid, to be launched on Saturday afternoon next at Deptford Dock yard. Her Royal Highness will be accompanied by Lieutenant Prince Arthur, and possibly other members of the Royal Family. Immediately after the launch the dockyard will be closed for shipbuilding purposes. FINE SHOWER OF SNOW-CRYSTALS.-011 Wednes day morning a remarkably fine fall of snow-stars took place over many parts of London. The crystals were larger and more perfectly formed than is commonly the case in our laditudes, where the conditions requisite for the formation of these beautiful objects are less perfectly fulfilled than in more northerly regions. Many forms were to be nDticed which the researches of Scoresby, Glashier, and Lowe have shewn to be somewhat uncommon.—Daily News. THE LORD CHANCELLOR'S LIVINGS.—SiIICe tIIO passing, in 1363, of the Act relating to the Lord Chan cellor's benefices, the advowsons of 87 of the poorer livings hive been sold ; 11 of the living; of more than £2OO a year realising £33,550, of which nearly the whole has been ap plied in augmentation of poorer livings and grants for par soilage houses. The total amount of the purchase money of advowsons sold is £135,509. The sales now are few ; there have been only six in the last fifteen months, and one of these was rendered void by the living becoming vacant by death before the purchase money had been paid. ROYAL LITERARY FUND.--The annual meeting of this association for the election of officers and other business, has just been held at the chambers of the cor• poration, Earl Stanhope, the president, in the chair. The accounts shewed receipts from the Newton estate, £363 14s. ; from dividends, £1,034 Os. Bd. ; from subscrip tions and donations, £370 14s. ; and from the anniversary dinners, £1,195 7s. 6d. ; which, together with the balance on the Ist of January, 1868, made a total income of £3,026 16s. 3d. The disbursements amounted to £1,884 2s. Bd. ; and the purchase of stock, £664 2s. Gd. ; leaving a balance on the let of January last of £478115. ld. During the year, £1,35:; has been distributed in grants to 39 persons, of whom 28 were males and Ufemales. I ZEPEWAL 2Alt, 1.4 I A Li' 4N t HOUSE OF COMNIONS.—YESTERDAY. The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 (Mock. THE CATTLE PLAGUE. Lord R. MONTAGUE niovedilleseco;d reading of the Contagious Diseases (Animals) Bill. He stated that since the Lill Lad been into.lueed the Government Lai brought in a Lill cf their own. He had no wish to put his bill ill opposition to that of the Government, and he did not think they would come into antagonism, because they ware totally distinct and separate wee sures, and did not trench upon the same ground. He had suggested to the Government that the two bills should bo read a second time, and referred to the same committee, but the Government were anxious before assenting to such a proposition that the subject should undergo full discuss:oa in tha House. Ho denied that he had introdne d the bill in the interest of the cattle breeders of this country,. but on the contrary the question at issue was one that vitally affected all classes. At the same limo the agricultural interest, from its extent and importance, de served full consideration. From the late return it appeared that there were 451 million acres in the country either under cultivation •or bearing stock, which at £4 per acre —a very low average for the capital employed in agricul ture gave a total of £185,000,000 employed in apicul ture. He contended that any bill which dealt merely with the movement of cattle i❑ England, without giving security and making regulations to pre vent the access of a new disease, would be one sided, and ought not to be adopted. The only way to guard against contagion was to prevent contact between foreign and English cattle. If that were done, the trade in foreign cattle might spread to any extent, and there would be no danger to the cattle of this country. The bill pro posed that at all ports where foreign cattle were landed markets should be established, that the cattle should be t la ightered as soon as landed, and should only be allowed to go inland as dead meat. All the ob)ections which had been raised against this scheme might be summed up under one head, namely,- that if separate markets were estab lished the price of meat would be artificially raised. If that were really so he admitted that it would be a fatal oojection, but he disputed the accuracy of the asser tion. During the cattle plague separate markets wore established, on the 11th October, 1867, at Liverpool, Man chester, Birmingham, Southampton, and in the metropolis. In 1863 the highos price of meat in Liverpool was 7fd perlb, and the lowest sd. Meat then rose throughout the coun try, and was at its highest in the beginning of 1866, when it began to fall again. The present bill would, he be lieved, have the effect of getting rid of the middleman and his profits, by making theiwliolesale prices hi3her and the retail prices lower. _ _ Mr. HEADLAM opposed the bill, and moved its re jection. After a long debate the house divided, when there appeared— For the bill Against it Majority against the bill -56 UNIVERSITY TESTS BILL The SOLICITOR-GENERAL moved the second read ing of this bill, the object of which was to remove cer tain religious tests required to be taken prior to the candidate becoming qualified to take up degrees . in the great universiiies. The hon. and learned gentleman said the bill was identically to the same effect as that he intro duced last year. Mr. MOWBRAY opposed ne motion, and moved that the bill bo real a second time that day six mouths. lie sail those on his side of the house were qu:t,-, ready to ac cept the Cambridge compromise, but they were not dis posed to go a step further. Sir R. PALMER moved the adj mrnmentof the debate. The oration was agreed to, and the resumption of the debate was fixed for to-morrow, the hon. and learned gcntl,lnau undertaking not to bring it on after half-past ten o'clock. The boos.) shortly afterwards adjourned. AMERICA. -- ---- .......-_.- (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) WASIIINGTON, March 10. Pr( silent Grant has acc„>pted the resignation of Mr. Stewart as Secretary of the l'reasury. In to-day's sitting of the house of Representa tives Mr. Butler re-introduced the bill repealing the Tenure.of-011ice Act, which was passed by 143 to 16 votes. The Republicans have carried the elections in New Hampshire. Mr. Stearns was elected Gover nor of the State, and the three members to Con gr, Si hive been re-elected by increased majorities. The number of persons who vote I was not large. ROYAL CHRISTY MINSTRELS. Owing to an engagement of long standing the Christy Minstrels of Wit. George's Theatre gave their entertainment last night at the Hanover- E quare Rooms. It „ speaks well for their popu larity that neither the sudden change of place nor the as sudden change of temperature dimi nished the number of the audience or the favour with which their songs were received. In consequence of the change of scene, the ex travaganza of "The Grand Dutch-s" was not night, but Mr. VeAris, who re performed last presents the Grand Duchess, appeared in female costume, as usual, and sang hi s famous drinking song , which was encored. The vocal and instrumental portion of the enter tainment was carried out pretty nearly according p r ogramme. The quick alterna to the printed tion of the most sentimental and the most comic songs is one of the great charms of these entertain ments. An appeal is made alternately to the uni versal sentiments of laughter and of emotion, whilst the audience is allowed but little time to dwell upon either. "My Spirit Star" is followed by "Don't Kicl up a R o w," "The Spring Time of Life," by We Meet A ga i n, " or " Pretty Polly rade," Bl ue -eyed Violets," by " The Monkey's Wed ding" or "Pompey Jones." And if the shading of " Just Before the Battle, Mother," is somewhat too deep, there i 3 the irrepressible and irre sistible "Bones" ready to drive all care and sad dess away. Altogether the St. George's Minstrels are great favourites, and it is by no means sur prising that they are well supported by the public.

As for Earl Russell (' clarum ac venera bile not:Jaen!) the country cannot but deem him to have at length—tardly it is true, but still at last without any further paltering with his great reputation— consulted his own dignity, acting - in this as best becomes the memory of his historical and illus trious career, by not accepting office of any kind in the Cabinet whethcr with or without a portfolio. In effect, it has always appeared to us remarkably derogatory to any statesman who has once attained the august position of Prime Minister of England —ever—under any conceivable circumstances accepting a subordinate post, no matter of what kind, in a subsequent Government. Those who bear in grateful remembrance, as we do most certainly ourselves, the eminent achievements of Lord Russell as a loyal, a patriotic, and an enlightened Reformer, whose name is inscribed in luminous characters, not alone upon the Statute Book of the realm, but upon what may be called, without extravagance, the perpetually expanding Chart of the'Constitution, cannot but regard, have always regarded, his occupation of any Ministe rial position below the highest as, in plain terms, an indignity to his reputation. It is an indignity for the infliction of which, time and again before now, he has been alone himself, of course, res ponsible. But it is one, howsoever inflicted, at the recognition of which we at any rate have in. variably winced, looking on simply as spectators. The Blue Ribbon of the Garter, if you will, the Earl's cornet—he has earned them all! But not a lesser place than the highest in any Government —not a subordinate post for one who has twice created and presided over a Government of his own; the earliest champion of reform in the House of CouiwonP, the colleague of Grey and Melbourne, h. riv d of Peel, the filen 1 of all the noblest meu of letters of his time, the venerable statesman whose fair fame, as an orator and as an adminis trator, links our own age with that of the great historic epoch in Parliament, when Pitt, and Fox, and Burk and Sheridan, were the giants of the hour.—The Gladstone Government, by a Templar.
