The operation has been negotiated by Messrs. Camara, Clado, and Co., in concert with Messrs. Singros, Corouio, and Scoloudhi and some other local houses. On the face of it the conditions seem favourable for the Govern ment, the loan being on account current for three months at 11 per cent. interest per annum, without present commission or other extras. As there is no likelihood, however, that the sum can be repaid at the end of the short term fixed, it will doubtless be competent to the lenders to modify these terms fa vourably for themselves on renewal.

The hearing of this petition was resumed this morning at ton o'clock, before Mr. Baron Martin, in the Court of Exchequer, Westminster Mr. Hawkins began by summing up his case. The only question was whether, under the Act 17th and 18th of Victoria, Mr. Smith was guilty of bribery and cor rupt practices, by himself or his agents The petitioners had failed to adduce any evidence of bribery of corrup tion on the part of Mr. Smith, except in ono or two wards b the borough, although that borough com priz •11 250,000 inhabitants. The petitioners had, by their counsel, stated matters with respect to Edwards and ethers which were not borne out by the evidence. Dwelling at some length on the evidence, the learned counsel admitted that Mr. Smith had been robbed by miserable, pilfering persons, but with no intention of corruption on his part in the expenditure of the £690 in advertising. With respect to Mr. Edwards, he had lived without imputation from 1851, and, as the evi dence showed, he was engaged for the election simply because he was well conversant with election matters, and not for the purpose of corruption. Speaking of the boards and the payments made for them, the learned counsel said that the intention of exposing them was honest and pure. In fact, the whole ease of the petitioners rested on the statements made by We Wheelers in Overton's case, and his lordship oonsi dering the character of these witnessos would, not pay much attention to what they swore to. All that these witnesses stated Overton denied, ann, in short, the whole case of the petitioners was founded upon the testimony of the Wheelers, who were proved to be traitors, cheats, and liars. The learned counsel went through the evidence at length (already reported) and con tended that iu it there was nothing to implicate his client in corrupt practices. Mr lfitzjames Stephen then replied on behalf of the pe Baron Martin having gono carefully through the eyi dente, decided that Mr. Smith was duly elected. HOLBORN THEATRE. A now drama, by Mr. Watts Phillips, entitled "Fettered," has met with success. The plot turns upon a young lady, who, having secretly married a scoundrelly adventurer, whose offences have re sulted in transportation to a penal settlement, finds herself unable to accept the honourable addresses of Sir Gilbert Heron, of Graythorpe, a young baronet who believes her to be a widow. Jasper Blythe, her husband, having contrived to make his way back to England. The great scene in the piece is the inundation of the old mill, which produced the most enthusiastic applause. Miss Lydia Foote sustained the part of the heroine excellently,,and Miss F. Josephs as a romantic young lady showed taste and judg ment. The chief comic business is assigned to Mr G. Honey and Mr. F. Drew. Mr. Parsolle, as Flitter, the detective, deserves high commendation ; and Mr. Cooper, who sup ported the part of Jasper with much force and effect. The piece has been excellently mounted, and ought to prove attractive. NARKE7 S-IHIS DAY. LIVERPOOL COTTON. February 19.—Sales probably 5,000 bales. Market flat, and declining. Mr. Charles Dickens has been elected President of the Birmingham and Midland Institute, and has writ ten to the secretary to say that he accepts the distinction thus conferred upon him, and is proud of it.

Mr. Peabody's letter, acknowledging with warm thanks the gold medal presented him by order of Con gress, has been sent by the President to Congress, toge ther with other correspondence relating thereto. Mr, Peabody writes: —" This medal, together with the rich, illuminated transcript of the Congressional resolutions, I shall shortly deposit in the Peabody Institute at the place of my birth, in apartments specially constructed for their safe keeping, along with other public testimonials with which I have been honoured. I trust it will remain for generations to attest the generous munificence of the American people in recognizing the efforts, however ina dequate, of one of the humblest of their fellow -countrymen to promote the enlightenment and prosperity of his native land."

The wt election petition Is stir: engaging the attention of Mr. Baron Martin. One of Mr. Smith'y canvassers was called, and gave evidence as to the letting of the boards. He declared that he never hired board room on the understanding that the letter should vote for Smith, but he admitted he himself had done a bit of business on his own account ; that he had paid £6 10s. to the makers of the boards, and had charged Mr. Smith £8 Gs. for them. Mr. Walker, the landlord of the public-house where it was alleged Mr. Smith bad stood champagne, came forward and swore he had "stood the liquor" himself for the occasion. He had done the like when the Belgians came to his house with volunteers, am% would do it again, "like a man." He never told anybod3 Ithat Smith would pay for the champagne, and this was utterly untrue. A large number of other men were called who denied being influenced by corrupt intentions in the bargains that were made in relation to the election. Baron Martin interposed on its being proposed to call others, and said all this kind of evidence was worthless. The testimony of men speaking as to what was in their minds when they transacted something months ago was as nothing, and all the evidence which was now being adduced would not be a feather in the scale. It was not to be expected that men would say that they were influenced in giving their votes by being paid for exhibiting the boards. At Coventry the defence has commenced. The peti tioners have abandoned the allegations of intimidation and undue influence, and rely upon the various cases of bribery and treating. Messrs. Eaton and Hill, the sitting mem bers, were examined. Mr. Eaton said he gave most posi tive instructions that no illegal practices whatever should be resorted to. No expenses had been paid other than those returned. He had no knowledge of any corrupt practices, and, of course, never sanctioned any. Mr. Hill and he repeatedly spoke of the Leicester voters. He told Mr. Seymour, having a majority of 160, that the Leicester voters were unnecessary. Instructions were given to Mr. Seymour that those voters should not receive any money or refreshment, or be paid for any expenses. He did not believe that those voters received a single sixpence. With regard to Mr. Hill, there were some strange banking transactions which were hardly sufficiently explained, and which excited the suspicion of Mr. Justice Willes. With regard to the other matters, Mr. Staveley Hill said that every claim in con nection with his candidature early in 1868 had been dis charged by the first week in July of that year. In reference to the conveyance of the voters from Leicester in Mr. Eaton's carriage, distinct orders were given that they should neither be taken up nor set down near a public-house. During the whole of the election witness never saw a glass of beer drunk under improper circum- stances. Cashel is likely to obtain fresh celebrity from the dis closures on the trial of the election petition. It is not, of course, to be assumed that all is as true as Gospel which is stated in evidence. That would be paying a poor compli ment to the inventive faculties of the witnesses, or their gratitude for favours past and future. But enough has transpired to make it pretty clear that elections have been conducted upon a scale of splendour worthy of the ancient glories of the place. Some of the witnesses produced seemed more disposed to attribute liberality of treatment to the petitioner than to the sitting member, and singular instances of generosity were related re specting both. Among those examined was Mr. Grace, the conducting agent of Mr. O'Beirne, who produced the accounts which had been sent to him. They included such items as these :—James Dunne, £lO6 ; Edward Cavanagh, £lO for election services ; Patrick Dwyer, £lO for canvassing ; David Ryan, £lO for canvassing ; Mary Glasgow, £3 "for governing forty women during the election." In a letter which was read in evidence she gave the following account of her services :—" She spent night and day in ruling the women during six weeks. Shook hands with the honourable gentleman. kept loyal and true during the whole time. ller exertions during that time had thrown her rather backward in health." Two women, named Tracey and Roche, gave contradictory evidence, and when confronted each stoutly maintained that what the other stated was false. The former swore that she never saw any cheques in the possession of her husband, who is keeping out of the way. The latter swore that Tracey told her that Mr. O'Beirne had trusted her husband with money, and that she produced a box containing cheques and notes, one of which, for £5O, she chewed her, and said it was for two of her friends, at the same time offering Roche £3O for her husband's vote. On cross-examination she stated that her husband, who is a carpenter, got £5 ss. for making a little " bin " for Mr. Munster, and that she sold Mr. Munster feathers in a tick. She indignantly denied that her husband had received any bribe, and, jealous of the honour of her family, remarked that " it was not in her blood to take anything disgraceful." The case for the petitioner closed with a statement of objections to several voters whom Mr. Butt sought to bare struck off, on the ground tha they were disqualified. LAW AND POLICE. THE CRYSTAL PALACE PANTOMIM E . In Vice-Chan cellor James's Court, on Thursday, application was made for an injunction to restrain Mr. E. T. Smith from removing the scenery and effects of the Christmas panto mime from the Crystal Palace. It was stated that Mr. Hopkins and Mr. Smith agreed to be partners in the undertaking ; that the profits were to I e rcc,ived by the defendant, who was to pay outgo'n_;.s and divide the profits, the Crystal Palace paying £5) a day for the pantomime. The plaintiff alleged that Mr. Smith had made no division of the profits, and was now threatening to remove and sell the effects. The injunction was granted. THE CLAIMANT TO THE TICIIBORNE ESTATE. In the Court of Common Pleas a firm of wine merchants at Sydney brought an action upon a bill of £265 accepted by the claimant to the Tichborne title and estates. The action was undefended, and a verdict was found for the plaintiffs, whose solicitor applied for speedy execution, as the defendant was keeping out of the way. Mr. Justice Keating, on hearing that the solicitor " would much rather not wait" until the estate was obtained, granted execution in four days. THE CITY POLICE.—At the Clerkenwell Police-court the prosecutrix in a charge of robbery stated that three City police constables had refused to take the thief into custody, as the robbery had not been committed in the City. The magistrate commented in strong terms on their conduct, and said he hoped the matter would be brought under the notice of the Chief Commissioner of the City Police. T. 'HE TOWER HAMLETS.—It is stated that Mr. Edmond Beales is about to be entertained at a banquet, when an address will be presented to him by his sup porters. THE SUTHERLANDSHIRE GOLD.—We understand that; Mr. Daniel Todd, watchmaker and jeweller, Argyll arcade, has received a small quantity of the gold gathered at the " diggings" in Sutherlandshire. The quality, upon being tested, shows 21i carats, which is equal in value to £3 16s. lid. per oz. By way of comparison, it may be stated that Australian gold is worth on the average £4 2s. per oz.—Glasgow Herald. Her Majesty the Queen, the CrOwn Princess of Prussia, and the Princess Louise have become patronesses of the Society for Promoting the Employment of Women, her Majesty having subscribed and the Princesses sent donations to its funds. This society has laboured indu3- triously through years of difficulty and discouragement to open avenues of employment for women compelled to maintain themselves. LONDON TO BRIGHTON BY VELOCIPEDE.—Mr. John Mayall, jun., son of the well-known photographer, has just accomplished the journey from London to Brighton on one of the new two-wheel velocipedes. He was accom panied by two friends, Mr. Spencer and Mr. Turner, also on velocipedes. They likd a preliminary " spin" round Trafalgar-square, and then started off, at the rate of about eight miles an hour, on roads generally good, but against a strong wind all the way. They kept pretty well toge• ther as far as Crawley (30 miles), after which Mr. Mayall took a decided lead, and arrived in Brighton in time and in good condition for dinner, and the second part of Kuhe's Orchestral Concert at the Grand Hall. Part of the journey down hill from Clayton was accomplished at the speed of one mile in four m'nutes. THE LORD-LIEUTENANT OF IRELAND AND THE CORPORATION OF BELFAST.—A deputation from the corporation of Belfast, representing all classes, creeds, and opinions, waited on Thursday upon the Lord. Lieutenant to tender the congratulations of the northern capital upon his appointment, to declare its loyal attach. ment to the Crown, and to express its hope that his Excellency's government of the country may be crowned with success. The Town Cleric rcal the address, the purport of which will be under.,:tood from his Excellency's reply, as follows :—" Mr. Mayor, Aldermen and Burgesses of the borough of Belfast, I thank you for the congratulations which you offer me on my appoint. went to the office of Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland. I rejoice with you that the apprehensions for the security of life and property which were caused by the disturbances sf last. year are being appeased. As representative of the Queen I thank you for the loyal expressions by which you convey your hope that I may visit Belfast. It will give me great satisfaction to become personally acquainted with the important town which you represent. the industry and self-reliance to which you allude, and which have been so signally displayed by your people, have been the principal cause of the wealth and prosperity of your town. I shall look with pleasure to the further development of those qualities as the surest source of the increase of m 40411414 throughout the country."

CHAMBERS gave no WATE ti R ce L that on an early day he should move the appointment of a committee of seven to consider whether, under the 22d of George 111., cap. 4t, Sir Sidney Waterlow was disqualified from becoming a member of the house.

FORTESOUE, in IRISH reply to Colonel French, said it was not without full'eonsideration that the embodi ment of the Irish militia for training had been postponed • for another year. THE CASE OF MR. CAGNELLS. Mr. WINTERBOTHASI asked the Under -Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs a question relative to the case of Mr. James Caguells, a British subject, residing and carry ing on business at Oporto, sentenced in November last by a Portuguese Court to banishment for six years, for the crime of " wanting in respect to the Roman Catholic reli gion," such want of .respect consisting only in conducting ordinary Protestant service in his own house. Mr. OTWAY said it was quite true that the gentleman named had been banished for a term of six years, but not solely fur wanting in respect to Vie Roman Catholic reli g:ou. Mr Cagn:l.s was put upou his trial in Oporto before a Portuguese jury, he hiving given up his right to be tried by a mixed one; and the charges laid agsinst him was for holding meetings in his house for objects opposed to the religion of the country, for inducing persons to hold doc trines opposed to the religion of the State and for making proselytes. The charges, to an extent, were proved, and under the 130th section of the crimival sole he was sen tenced to six years' banishment from the country. An sppeal had been lodged against the finding of Lie jury, tied until that appeal was decided he did not think it judi cious to make any further observation. He might interns the hon. member tit it Mr. Crawford, the Consul at Oporto, bad been directed to watch the castS. THE RATE-PATI.NO CLAUSES Mr. C. FORSTER asked the First Lord of . the Trea sury whether it was the intention of the Government to repeal Vie rate-paying clauses of the Reform Act, and to restore the system of compound rating? Mr. GLADSTONE said ho could not answer the ques tion of the hon. gentleman, without in some degree autici pang the statement to be made by the President of the Poor Law Board. He might, however, say that the Go vernment did not propose to restore in let , or and in form compound rating, but in the bill of his right hon. friend there would be found a remedy for the grievance which at present existed. - THE CHARING CROSS VIADUCT. Lord ELCHO called the atteutioa of the First Commis sioner of Works to the proposed viaduct from Charing cross to Welliugtou.street, Strand, which was proposed to be made on the Thames Embankment by the Metropo litan Board of Works. The Board had given instructions with respect to the conitnencement of the works, and he therefore hid to ask the right honourable gentle man to exert his power to stay proceedings, at all events for a titne, until it was seen that the thorough fare was actually required. The site of the Thames em bankment affords the finest site in the world for some pub lic building, and it was inconceivable that so eligible a spot should be devoted to a long row of unsightly arches upon which the proposed road was to be made. Lio thought it was übsilutely necessary thlt s)ine greater power than at present existed should be given to somebody to prevent further monstrosities being made in London. At present a set of people had only to get an Act of Parlia ment to ica'.:e a railway, for instinc.3, from north to south of the metropolis, then they were quite at liberty to pull down, an t block up, and erect any bridges they might think necessary without th I slightest regard being made to the damage that would be done to the property iu the neighbourhood. Had there b-on any such control ling power he believed the great tubular monstrosity_ the Cannon-street station would never have been allowed to thrust itself so hideously in front of the view of St. Paul's from the river. He found he could not by the forms of the house propose the resolution he had prepared, which stated that it was not expedient to proceed with the proposed road, but he hoped the right hoe. gentleman would take up the matter and submit a resolution to the house on Monday next. Mr. C. BUXTON thought that as e very b ody disap proved of the proposed viaduct it would not be perse vered in. lioni — BUßY said that it was most desirable that any sort of controlling power would be better than the anarchy that now existed. No soo ner was the work of Sir J. Thwaites finished, than a railway company would begin to dig up and otherwise obstruct the fo o t way, . so that fur about five years the would be kept out of the full enjoyment of the splendid promenade. Mr. LAYARD said unfortunately he had nothing to do with the Thames Embankment; all he could do he would do, and that would be to urge upon Si r John Thwaites to do his utmost to prevent a project which would entirely destroy the b eau t y of the embankment which was now so great an orn ament to the metropolis. The most effectual way of stopping the pro ceedings would be for the house to express a strong opinion as to the inadvisability of proceeding with the proposed viaduct. Mr. W. COWPER said if the Met ropo li tan Board of Works were in earnest in objecting to the prop ose d viaduct it was quite open to them to have introduced a bill for repealing the previous act. Mr. HOPE said how the bill passed that a ll owed such an objectionable work was to him quite a mystery.
