CITY, Two o'CLocK. With reference to the Italian Government To bacco Loan the following notice has been issued : " Messrs. Stern Brothers beg to inform the holders of scrip in the above loan that as the Definitive Bonds will not be ready for exchange against scrip by the Ist of April next, it has therefore been de cided, in order to protect the interes's of the bond holders, to postpone the first drawing to the 10th of June next. The paymeikt of the drawn series takes place on the Ist July, as originally intended. A further notice will be given respecting the time and mode of exchanging the scrip." A dividend of Is. 7d. pa- share, less income tax, is to be payable on the shares of the Belgian Eastern Junction Railway Company on the lst of April. The half-yearly meeting of the West Flanders Railway Con•pany is called for the 22d of April in London, and for the 3d of May in Bruges. The annual meeting of the Anglo-Mexican Mint Company is convened for the 6th April. Creditors of the Panama, New Zealand, and Aus tralian Royal Mail Company (Limited) are required to send the particulars of their claims to the official liquidator by the Ist of May, the 25th May having been appointed by Vice-Chancellor Mathis for ad judicating upon them. The balance—being the last instalment—of the New South Wales Government Loan for £1,000,000, introduced by Messrs. Rothschild and the Bank of New South Wales, is payable on Thursday next, the Ist proximo. The directors of the United Land Company (Limited) have issued their repert for the year ending 20th March, 1869. It states that, although the company have been registered only eleven months, and the actual operations extend but over a period of five months, the business effected has been so profitable that, after clearing the current working outlay, and writing off a large proportion of the preliminary expenses, the directors are ' enabled, out of profits, to declare a dividend on the capital, called up at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, free of income tax. The statistics of the wheat importations of the past year show that the total arrivals were only 1 per cent. below those of 1867, and that they were 41 per cent. in excess of those of 1866. Russia was again the largest contributor, but the United States have now regained the second place in the list, while Prussia has gone back to the third. At the same time Egypt and Turkey are making rapid strides. From France, which in 1866 supplied 15 per cent. of our consumption of foreign wheat, the quantity last year was but nominal. The propor tions from the respective countries were—Russia, 31 per cent. ; the United States, 18 per cent. ; Prussia, 14 per cent. ; Turkey, 10 per cent.; Egypt, 10 per cent. ; Chili, 4 per cent. ; Illyria, 3 per cent. ; Denmark, 2 per cent. ; Mecklenburg, 2 per cent. ; Hanse Towi2s, 2 per cent. ; Canada, 2 per cent. ; and other countries, 2 per cent.

Two classes of Irish men, as far removed as possible from one another, have ,aken it to themselves, and each has given it a response, and were it not that we know that the bulk of the people is to be ranked with neither, we might be disturbed at such answers to the proclamation of the linperialyarlia- ment. The members of the Established Church have rallied together at different points of the country to denounce the " injustice," the " robbery," the " tyranny" about to be practised upon them, and to threaten the most tremendous consequences should Parlia- merit persevere in supporting the Dlinisterial Bill. On the other band, Fenian sympathisers have met together, ;aking advantage of the inconsiderate weakness of the Executive Government in letting loose the convicts who were but yesterday conspiring to overturn the State by violence, and who boast to-day that they have abandoned none of their aims, and they, too, threaten the united nation with unceasing turbulence until all they demand has been conceded. The mass of the Irish people are neither Protestants nor Fenians, and we would willingly believe that the mass of the Protestants do not share the inflammatory temper exhibited at the meetings of last week. We have some assurance for this conclusion in the character of the representatives sent to Parliament from the Protestant constituencies of Ireland itself. But, however that may be, there remains in Ireland a solid majority—a majority always increasing as education spreads and knowledge is disseminated—who are proud to be co-partners in our national progress, who join with immense energyand excitement in the election of represen- tatives to sit in the United Parliament, who watch the proceedings of the Legislature with no less feeling of being sharers in its life, and of having a power to influence its course, than Englishmen and Scotchmen. To these men the disestablishment and disendowment of the Irish Church will be an assurance of their equality with the rest of the empire, strengthening their own loyalty, and encouraging them to propagate it. We should be utterly faithless if we had not confidence in this result. Disaffec- tion will not cease in Ireland when the bill becomes law ; the voice of discontent will still be heard to murmur ; but the strength of disloyalty will be broken, if not subdued; the efforts of sedition will be paralyzed and die away in weakness. The Standard believes that one result of the dissolution of the Irish Church is already announced from Ireland. This is the estrangement of the great body of the Protes. taut laity from the cause of the Union. Hitherto the movement in favour of repeal has been confined exclusively to the Roman Catholics. They have been the only agitators for what is called the parliamentary independence of Ireland, from which they alone expected to derive any benefit. We have now to call the attention of the British people to the fact that henceforth repeal has become a Protestant as well as a Roman Catholic cry. The effect of the second reading of the Irish Church Bill has been to swell the ranks of the discontented and the " National" party, by throwing among them the mass of the Protestant laity. The Union, no less than the Irish Church, is the sign of English ascendancy—the badge of conquest. The first is a sentimental grievance even more than the other. If we are to ignore all past history —to reverse the policy of three hundred years—to consult only the individual tastes of the Irish nation, without respect to the interests of the empire, then there is no case for the supporters of the Union. There has ceased to he any motive or object in that conduct which has hitherto been considered loyalty in Ireland. The Irish Protestants, being told that they are no longer members of the National Church, are absolved from all allegiance to the empire as an integra; whole. No one can complain should they better Mr. Gladstone's instruction, and proceed from disestablish ment to repeal. The political enfranchisement of the Irish " nation " is the logical corollary of the doctrines on which the severance of the two Churches has been based ; and if we are to regard only the wishes of the majority of the Irish people in a matter of Imperial concern, then we are bound to concede a separate national P %filament ; nay, a total separation from the empire, whenever the voice of disaffection becomes louder than that of loyalty. The Daily News says that it is worth noting how great a change has come over our few national holidays of late years. We have begun to believe a good deal more in holiday-making than we once did, and though it may be still true of us that we take our pleasures sadly, we are much more inclined to make the most of our holidays than our grandfathers were. Indeed, we not only lengthen out our traditional holidays, but we seize every opportunity of making others. The Derby Day has long been a metro politan holiday which even Parliament has sanctioned by an adjournment, of which, every year, it is half ashamed : and it was pretty generally remarked that the day of the Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race had begun this yeas to put on a very holiday look. The fact is that the working classes know much better how to make holiday than the middle classes do ; and as the railways have taught them what to do with a holiday they readily take one when an excuse is given them or an opportunity provided for them. The excursion trains have made a workman's holiday worth having. lle need no longer spend it idling about at home or getting muddled at the public-house, for a score of cheap trips are offered him and he can spend his holiday on the hills, or in the fields, or at the sea, for less, perhaps, than it would have cost at home. Then, too, the railways are always on the look out for a good occasion to tempt the people to make a holiday. No fear that any should forget that Easter is a holiday, for . offers of country trips or town amusement for the Easter holidays have for weeks past stared at us from every wall. These old ecclesiastical holidays evidently have before them a future of increasing observance. The changes of the age give them new life; and though we may never add to them any other national holidays, and holiday making may become more and more a matter of local or individual occasion, we can see no likelihood that any future generation of Englishmen will overlook Christmas Day, or forget Whitsuntide, or make anything but fes. tival and holiday during the great week of Easter. The Telegraph asks some important questions—ls the Church of England doing her work? Is she fulfilling her trust? Are the results commensurate with the means employed ? It is not necessary to make these inquiries in the same spirit as a barrister cross-examines a hostile wit ness ; but asked they will be, and answered they must be, as recent controversies clearly slim. We have some fif teen or twenty thousand clergymen, with a magnificent annual income of probably seven millions sterling. Is this great spiritual army combating with energy and success its foes —immorality, ignorance, and irreli gion? Why should it be assumed that every one who puts these questions is on the side of those foes? Surely an anxiety to know whether an institution can be improved does not imply hostility to it. That the clergy of England are generally doing their task with zeal and honesty of purpose few close observers will deny; but that the results are insufficient is equally patent. On this vital point we need not the testimony of any but favourable witnesses. Do not bishops' " charges" continually lament the practical infidelity of the large mass of the population ? Do not working clergymen con tinually make appeals to the laity to relieve spiritual destitution? Let any careful inquirer walk through the poorer districts of London, of Manchester, or any other large town, on a Sunday morning, and he wilt find abun dant evidence that the Church has but little power over the indigent classes. It is a common thing to hear persons belonging to the' lower half of the middle classes avow, and that without shame or compunction, that they have not been inside a church for years, except on the, occasion of a marriage, a baptism, or a funeral. Is it wise. is it honest, to ignore *these notorious facts? Whatever the cause may be, it is indisputable that the ministrations of the clergy fail to attract the greater part of the hand. workers and brain-workers of this country. What we need is a considerable variety of services suited to the intelligence, habits, and even tastes of very different classes of the people. If St. Paul could be all things to all men that he might save some, those who in the nineteenth ... century preach his doctrines may well be content to follow his example. The Herald refers to the lecture which Mr. Lomas has delivered at. Manchester on the subject of the tally trade, and declares that, if it he true that England contains 10,000 of these trading marauders, the evil must operate on a very large scale. Mr. Lomas also dwells on the fact that he tally trade is immensely promoted by the county courts. At every sitting of the court there is a long string of " tally cases," and sometimes the court has little else to do than to deal with cases of this kind. The county court agent—a sort of spurious attorney —is the devoted ally of the tally-man ; and what with summonses, warrants, incarcerations, and costs, the unlucky defaulters must be placed in a most lamen table position. County courts were certainly never intended to promote the tally trade. Nevertheless they have done so. Intended for the ready recovery of small debts, these courts have really led to the multiplying of debts which people cannot pay. Mr. Lomas suggests a somewhat complicated remedy for this scandalous state of things. It seems to us that a good deal depends on the discretion of the county-court judge. There are many judgem who detest these cases, and who give as little help as they can to the tally'nan. As for the county - court agents, Mr. Lomas describes them as such myr midons that it seems unaccountable that the judges of the courts should have allowed them to gain such a status as they seem to have won. But the prime evil of the whole thing appears to be this—that women incur debts (and those of a peculiar kind) un known to their husbands. In estimating where the chief blame lies in this matter it should be remembered that the woman does not seek the tally-man, but the latter comes to her and tries his utmost to inveigle her into debt. If he simply tried to persuade her into purehase.without credit the proceeding would yet be fair. But there is something, altogether peculiar in getting a woman to pledge her hus• band's credit for the payment of so much per week for months to come. The husband is the real judge of his ability to fulfil such a contract, and it would seem that some modification of the law on this point might reasonably be made with immense advantage to tht _ WaTking CIANICh /El'Y 111 L'ATRE. On S iturday Mr. Robertson's five-act play, en titled " Dreams," was produced at this theatre. The play had already been performed at Liverpool with success, and the announcement of its repre sentation in Loudon drew forth a very large and distinguished audience. The piece on its first pro duction was entitled " My Lady Clara," but it re eeived the name of " Dreams" on its coming to London. The plot is not very novel, and although the piece has been written in Mr. Robertson's usual excellent style, it is deficient in dra matic interest, and therefore its reception in the metropolis was not of a very en thusiastic character. '1 he plot of the piece is briefly as follows :—A certain young German musician, not being appreciated in his own country, comes to England to get his opera " Dreams" per formed. lie meets with all sorts of difficulties, and eventually takes to teaching. He is engaged as tuner to the establishment of the Duke of Loam shire, and here he meets with Lady Clara de Vere, the affianced bride of the Earl of Mountforrest. The young German falls deeply, and, as he fears, hopelessly, in love with the Duke's granddaughter, but the lady, discovering the musician's secret, flirts with him until he declares his Passion, and then she indignantly rejects him, and he is expelled from the house by the Earl of Mountforrest. The musician falls ill, Lina, the companion of his child hood, arrives and becomes his close attendant, and thus, whilst broken in health, his opera is performed, which proves a great success. Lina, on Rudolph's recovery, finding, as she thinks, his heart set only on the Lady Clara, enters a convent, with the intention of becoming a nun, and then Rudolph discovers his love for his gentle countrywoman. The Earl of Mountforrest eventually marries Lady Clara, and Rudolph and his mother induce Lina to forego her intention, and thus all ends happily. The first two acts are decidedly the best, but the interest falls off very much in those which follow. The audience, out of compliment to the author, as the saying is, " sat the piece out," but opinion was very divided as to its merits at the fall of the curtain. Mr. Wigan's part, Rudolph, is not exactly suited for him ; he is unmistakeably a great actor, but in the play he has nothing to call forth his talent. Miss Robertson has a very good part, the Lady Clara ; and Mr. Clayton has one which he plays remarkably well, the Earl of Mount forrest; and these, with the exception of a kind of " comic commercial" part for Mr. Soutar, form the principal persons represented ; that greater success did not follow the production of the piece was certainly not to be attributed either to the want of talent in the actors or the ability of the scene painters--each was truly excellent. The piece was placed upon the stage with exquisite taste, and everything was done for it in the power of a liberal management, but after all the success it met with was but partial. The " stentor" who kept con tinually shouting " Author, author," every time here was the slightest applause, had his wish gra- tified in the end, as " the author" at last made his appearance before the curtain and bowed his ac knowledgments; and at one time it-seemed as if he was going t) male appecch. 111L1TARY AND NA VAL _INTELLIGENCE. Mr. Cardwell, the Secretary for War, paid a second visit to Portsmouth on Saturday, arriving by early morning train from London. Mr. Card well on arrival drove to the dockyard, where he went on board and inspected the Indian relief screw troopship Serapis, Capt. John Soady. On leaving the Serapis he embarked on board her Majesty's paddle steamer Fire Queen, Staff-Com mander F. W. Paul, and proceeded down the Solent to view the fortifications commanding the Needles passage and the western approaches from the Channel to Spithead. On returning from the Solent and disembarking from the Fire Queen, Mr. Cardwell left Portsmouth for London by even ing train. An order was issued on Saturday from the Horse Guards directing the Ist division of the Depot Brigade, Royal Artillery, numbering 13 otli cers, 629 non-commissioned officers and gunners, four officers' horses, 55 soldiers' wives, and 123 children to proceed from headquarters to Woolwich on Thursday next. The Depot Brigade will be replaced at Sheerness by Nos. 4 and 5 batteries, 7th Brigade Royal Artillery, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel A. P. S. Greene, together with the headquarters of the Coast Brigade, com prising No. 10 division, under the command of Lieut.-Colonel F. Campbell. The Ist division of the Depot Brigade will probably occupy the bar racks at Woolwi c h vaca t e d b y t h e R oya l Mar i nes.

The remains of the late Major-General Joseph Oates Travers, C. 8., Royal Marines, were con veyed from his residence, 18, Dover-street, Pic cadilly, to Mensal-green Cemetery, on Saturday. There were present, in addition to the relatives of the deceased, a large body of his late brother officers, and several non-commissioned officers and others who had served under him at various periods, among whom was Lieut.-General Sir A. B. Stransham, Major-General Foote, and Colonels Lambrick, Schomberg, Slither, Louis, Rodney, and Stewart. The dockyard and naval establishments at Chat ham were closed to-day, to enable the volunteers to attend the review at Dover. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ASSAULT AND WILFUL DAMAGE.—Charles Lang WSS charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting Mr. Louis Bargenheim, landlord of the Coach and Horses, at the corner of Greek-street, Soho-square. The prisoner refused to leave prosecutor's house at closing time on Saturday night, and on the prosecutor attempting to put him out he gave him a severe blow on the face, and on getting outside broke a pane of glass of the value of 10s., and was then given into the custody of Ellis, 99 C. The only defence the prisoner made was that he did not like to leave when told and refused to do so, and on being put out he struck the prosecutor. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the prosecutor had a right to put the prisoner out as he wanted to close his house. Ho should fino the prisoner 208. for the assault, and order him to pay the amount of damage. CRUELTY TO HORSES.—Robert Gibson, a cab-proprietor, of Howard-road, Stoke Newington, and Charles Cook, a man in his employ, appeared to answer the complaint of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani mals, the former for causing a horse to be worked in an unfit state, and the latter for working it. From the evidence of Inspector Temperley and Young, officers of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, it appeared that the horse was em ployed to draw a cart laden with washing from different laundresses, and that it had several sores about it, was old and worn out, and apparently suffered great pain. Gibson was fined 10s. and costs, and. Cook was dis charged, but on its being represented that Gibson had been put to great expense, he was only ordered to pay the costs-12s. Gd.

THE VOLUNTEERS AT DOVER. THE DEPARTURE. Long before daybreak this morning the Volun teers mustered at their respective head-quarters pre paratory to taking their departure to assist in the Review at Dover. The men comprising the 3d London left Farriugdon•strect precisely at 4.40, preceded by pioneers, and the band playing " The bell goes a ringing for Sarah." They were the first to arrive at the Blackfriars Station, where they were soon followed by the 37th, 40th, and 48,h Middlesex, and also the 2d London, and the train conveying them was despatched soon after 5. Three other trains were also started from this point, containing members of the 39th, 42th Middlesex, 4th Administrative Battalion Surrey, 7th Surrey, 2d Administrative Battalion Middlesex, Ist and 19th Surrey, 2d, the 35th West Riding of York, and the 3d Middlesex Artillery, the latter having at the last moment changed their place of departure from Victoria. Each train was got off in a satisfactory manner, Colonel Deshon being appointed by the War-office to superintend the departure of the troops, in which he was assisted by Mr. Plasket, the manager of the station. It was near 5 o'clock when the first train left Victoria, with men belonging to the Ist Middlesex Engineers and the Ist, 11th, and 36th Middlesex. The second train conveyed members of the 22d and 26th Middlesex and the Ist Surrey Artillery ; the third those belonging to the 2d and 4th Middlesex and the Cam ' bridge University ; and the fourth, the 2d and sth 15th Bucks.

DOVER, Monday, 10 o'Clock. The troops have nearly all assembled on the sea front. The wind is blowing a gale, and the sea is breaking with terrific force over the Parade, fort ing the troops to beat a retreat every now and then. Heavy clouds are beating up from the east, and a slight fall of frozen ice is followed by a heavy snowstorm. The poor Volunteers are drawn up in colomns, and are patiently and good temperedly receiving a thorough drenching. The storm of sleet and rain continues with increased violence, but to the large majority of the troops it appears a source of amusement. All this time the officers in command are holding a council of war, and it is generally rumoured that there will be no review. An order is just issued (20 minutes to 11) for the troops to break off till 3 o'clock. The order is received with cheers, and as the men stroll away in an apparent confusion' the sky suddenly clears, the rain ceases, and murmurs of regret at the order prevail generally. The Duke of Cambridge has just entered the Lord Warden Hotel, where a coun cil of war is summoned for half-past 11. The Duke of Cambridge has this moment.P7 minutes past 11] issued au order that all regulars are to go home. The sun is now shining brilliantly. DOVER, Half-past Eleven.

It appears that in the course of a race two horses preceding the one which deceased rode fell at a water leap, and in order to avoid riding over them the deceased pulled towards the rails, and, pulling too near, the horse ran against a hurdle, shivered it to atoms, and fell, rolling over its rider, who sustained severe internal inj ur i es . H e was p i c ked up insensible and convoyed to the nearest hotel. Though every e attention was paid hi m , h e n ever rallied, and died the following evening. The jury, without he arin g evidenoe from medi ca l men, re t urne d a verdict of " Accidental death."

LADVERTISEMENT.I —Holloway's Pills —Desirable pos session—Without health uo amount of wealth, no means of pleasure, are of the slightes value. It is inconceivable how small a disturbance of animal functions begets wretchedness, and how readily it may be rectified by a few doses of some purifying and regulating medicine such as these world renowned pills; these have proved the best friend to mankind in every grade, in every laud and under almost every circumstance. Holloway's pills purify the blood, rectify digest:on, stimulate the liver and kidneys and regulate the bowels. When fevers, influenza, and other ailments are epidemic these pills should be taken occasionally by every one to keep the blood and system free from the seeds of the prevailing pestilence.

From market movements it would soon that Cap-a-Pie will be reserved for the Metropolitan, and in that case Chaloner will more than likely pilot Vauban, but he has been too long bottled up for me to have faith in hint. The Drummer, from the way he spread-eagled his opponents at Lincoln, ought to be kept on the right side of the book, but his party have turned round and now back him for the Metropolitan. One thing is certain, he cannot win them both ; and I think it would be batter to stand him for the first race. Eastley is at the present time a mystery ; but if any demonstration is made in his favour, it will be worth following; but, from my information, I do not think it likely he will see the starter. Alpenstock, from the favourable trial he has had with Robespierre, must be very near winning. Vagabond, when asked the question by Sir Joseph Hawley, has answered it to the entire satisfac tion of both owner and trainer, hence his present short price in the market. With such animals as Blue Gown and The Palmer is the stable it is next to impossible that they can have made much mistake. Poinsettia has had a highly satisfactory trial, aad is sure to be found in the front rank at the finish. Alexander Taylor has sent a large commission out in favour, of La Belle Helene, which has caused Boundary to retire to the out side division. Tim owner of The Sawyer is going in the same swim as the Vagabond division. I think the race will lay between La Belle Helene, Drummer, Alpen stock, and Vagabond, and as only one can win, I shall plump right out for VAGABOND, believing he will find his most dangerous opponents in La Belle Helene and Drummer, who ought to be backed for places. The field for the Great Metropolitan will comprise nearly all the following : _ __ John Davis ... a 812 Belfast ... 612 Friday ... a 810 The Drummer 3 6 9 Blueskin ... 4 8 9 Alpenstock 3 6 9 Cap-à-pie ... 4 8 8 Vagabond 8 6 9 Fitz-Adair 4 7 7 La Belle Helene 3 5 13 Choral ... ... 4 7 6 Boundary 3 513 Robespierre ... 3 7 2 Lancet ... ... 3 5 10 Our Mary Ann ... 4 7 0 As nearly the same horses are engaged here as in the City and Suburban, it will be better to wait the result of this before making any investments, as which ever of the favourites wins the short race will have to put up a 101 b penalty for the long one on the following day; but my present opinion is that Tan Daum= or LANCET will win A FRESH MAN.
