The Essex, front Melbourne, has brought £80,0')0. 1 he Copernicus, for Brazil, has taken out .£lO,OOO. Some expressions from the Chancellor of the Ex chequer on Thursday last seemed to create an ide of a tendency to antagonism on the part of the Go vernment towards the Bank of England. He spoke of takin g an independent course by borrowing and lending under plans not yet matured, designated the Bank as a merely " private banking institu tion," and almost indicated that the power of that establishment is attributable to a fancy on the part of the mercleaets " to set up a sort of monarch over them to whom they ply deference." Happily these Phrases do not necessarily involve any intentions materially to disturb the stats of existing relations. Many people still imagine that the Bank enjoys great privileges and derives especial advantages from Government favour. The fact is, there is no part of the national business transacted by the Bank in which the terms of the contract are not more in favour of the public than of the Rink— the result being that whereas other joint-stock banking establishments distribute dividends year after year, ranging between 15 and 30 per cent., the Bank proprietors take only about 8 per cent. It is trae they ate conscious of a stability in these dividends, which is a compensation for their relative smallness, while, on the other hand, the Government get all the benefit allowed in consi deratiou f or the dignity and steadiness of the a gecey thus conferred. Neither party could break up the system without damage, an d it is not to be Supposed there is any thought of such a step. It is stated that the scheme of arrangement be tween the shareholders and creditors of the Com mercial Bank Corporation of India and the East, tinder which all litigation is to be stayed, and the creditors are to accept 17s. in the pound in dis charge of their claims, has received the sanction of the Master of the Rolls. In Mincing-lane business has been upon a limited scale in most articles, but several floating cargoes of sugar have been sold for outports, and the quarterly auctions of cinnamon have passed off with fair spi r it. The variations in prices have not been important. The South-Eastern Railway traffic return shows th is week a decrease of £1,375 compared with the c orresponding period of last year, and the Brighton a decrease of £2,527. The corresponding.week of lass year included Whit-Sunday. The traffic return of the Great Western Railway O f Canada, for the week ending the 28th instant, shows an increase of £1,359 over last year. At the meeting of the Trust and Loan Company °r Upper Canada a dividend was declared for the n alf-year at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum. At a meeting of proprietors of the lonian Bank the directors' report was agreed to. The net profit for 1868 was £21,130, out of which two dividends and bonuses, amounting to £17,736, have been P a id- The reserve fund stands at £53,624. The directors of the Britannia Fire Association have announced that the whole of the second issue of shares (10,000) have been allotted. At the meeting of the Madras Irrigation and anal Company the directors' report was adopted. It mentioned that the operations of the company in India have lately attained to a highly satisfac tory state, and that the whole of the works between Seonkasala and Cuddapah are expected to be com- Pleted between the time specified in the contract with the Secretary of State in Council. The General Court of the Royal Exchange As surance Corporation will be held on the 23d of June " to consider of a dividend." In connection with the affairs of the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada, a circular, signed by Mr. Albert Creak, of Brighton, and by about a dozen other gentlemen, has been addressed to the stock and bond holders, inviting them to combine, with a view to bring about a change in the manage nient• Those interested are urged to attend the meeting at the London Tavern on the Bth of Juue, BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES* GOVERNMENT FUNDS.

The principal part in the piece is supported by Mr. B. Webster, and the novelty of seeing this favourite actor in a new part drew a very brilliant and crowded audience. Eve, the heroine of the drama, is the young wife of Hugh Wollaston, a solicitor, whose sentimentality has brought about a carelessness of the duties of hom3, aad who is in continual danger of lending too indulgent an ear to the unlawful addresses , of a young bar rister who importunes her to elope wiei him to a foreign land. Though ever seemingly on the verge of falling a victim to his villany, she is pre served from so fatal a sin in some degree through the influence of a female relative, who watches over her with the fondest solicitude, but mainly through the magnanimity of her husband, who, inA3ad of reproaching or thwarting her, coalidea in her to the last, and makes an irresistible appeal to her sense of dignity and duty. The great part in the piece is that of the husband, and as Mr. Webster warmed in the part he in creased the intensity of his acting. In the second act, where the discovery of the secret of his wife's indifference is discovered, he gave the audience a taste of his great qualities as an actor, and this fee ling he gradually intensified until, in the con 3luding act, he rose to sach a high standard of ex3ellaacc that this, his last new part, in ty fairly b 3 placed side by side vith that of Triplet in " Masks and Faces," which has been acknowledged by all to be one of the finest specimens of dramatic art ever seen on the metropolitan stage. Mr. H. Neville, as the lover, looked the beau ideal of a lady killer, and sustained his part with much excellence. Miss Furtado, as Eve, threw much intensity into the character, and Mrs. H. Mellon, as the good and true wife of a retired tradesman, carried the audience with her by the warmth and geniality of her acting. Little Miss Lillie Lee, a child about six or seven years old, acted with extraordinary talent, and there was not a lady in the house but who envied Mr. 'Webster the privilege of kissing her for her pretty impersona tion. The piece was received with loud applause, and will doubtless attract the playgoers to the Adelphi for a considerable time. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-7 his Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. DISORDERLIES.— Mr. John Wilkirson, gentleman, of the Junior United Service Club, Regent-street, and de scribed as in her Majesty's service, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being drunk and disorderly in the Haymarket. From the evidence of police-constable Smith, 188 0, it appeared that he saw the defendant in the Haymarket about half-past one that morning in a state of intoxica tion, and surrounded by a number of low characters. He tried to get the dofendaut away, and as he refused to go he took him to the station. The defendant was fined ss. or four days.

He asked the prisoner if he had any liable to duty in the ship, to which he replied, "Yes; 51bs. of tobacco and cigars," which ho produced. He was asked if he had any more, and he replied in the negative. Excell on searching a large chest under some eggs found Gilbs. of cigars secreted. The prisoner said the cigars belonged to three persons, and on further search lib. of tobacco was discovered, which the prisoner owned. The total value and duty of the tobacco and cigars amounted to .£3 12s. Gd., and gr. Benson fined the defendant that sum, and told him he would lose his cigars and tobacco. Ile psi I the penalty immediately. RJHBING CHILDREN IN THE STREETS.—ninny Ab bott, a girl age] 15 years, was charged with robbing children in the public streets. A little intelligent creature, named Eliza Pearcy, was sent out with her brother, aged nine years, yesterday afternoon between ono and two o'clock, and the prisoner accosted them, decoyed the child from its sister and sent her away. The child was found afterwards without its beets. An immediate search was made for the prisoner, in which the child Eliza Pearcy assisted, and the prisoner was soon found. She had sold the boots, which were recovered soon afterwards. Police-sergeant Dillon, 19 K, said there were many other charges of a similar descriptitu against the prisoner, and asked for a remand. She was remanded for a week.

LONDON DIOCESAN 1101 IE MISSION, 1 The May anniversary of this society, held on Monday, at Willis's Rooms, was presided over by the Bishop of London, with whose diocese its operations are exclusively connected. According to the report thirty-seven mis sionary clergymen are labouring in connection with the society, twenty-six of whom are supported by grants from the Bishop of London's Fund, the stipends of eleven mis sionaries resting on the responsibility of the mission. The society has received during the year 85,305 ss. from the Bishop of London's Foal, the subscriptions, dona tions, and church collections being £2,7)7 45., or n 66 11s. 9d. less than in 1807, much more than the total falling off being in the church collections. The Archbishop of York, the Bishop of Derry, Lord Lyttelton, the Rev. D. Wilson (Islington), J. Nolan, E. Auriol, J. Moorehouse, Mr. H. Freemautle, Admiral P.ary, the Hon. A. Rinnaird, M.P., Mr. G. Moo.-e, Admiral Sir T. Coehraue, Sir G. Ea'. e Mr. A. Smith, M.P., and Mr. Cazenove, ice .e present ; and the Right Rev. Chairman, his Cr.tce the Archbishop, Lord Lyttelton, the Bishop of Derry, and some others, delivered addresses, recommending the claims of the society, which were answered by a liberal collection at the doors. The Right Rev. President, in a short speech, referred to the attractions of music, and highly ornate ritual, which bad. succeeded in some instances in drawing large congregations of the working classes, competing, as it were, with those public places where the music of some of Handel's oratorios and Rossini's " Stabat-Mater " mingled with the tinkling of drinking classes. How far real conversion was pro moted by these appeals to the senses could only be known at the last day ; but although high ritual had doubtless attracted many to the churches, and admit ting that whatever brought those there who would other wise stay away, he doubted whether those large congregations had been brought together except in those cases where the clergyman had been assiduous in visiting his parishioners from house to house, and he believed that the effect would have been the same had the church pre sented nothing more ornamental than whitewashed walls, and the service conducted in the most primitive simplicity.

The quarterly meeting of this society took place on the same day, at the Hall in Red Lion-square, Holborn, under the presidency of Mr. John Macgregor. The proceedings commenced with some remarks by the Rev. Mr. Atkinson, of Hull, who said the gospel would never be taken to the poor by any other means than by mission work, especially such a work as that carried on by the Open-Air Mission. —Mr. Gawin Kirkham (sect etary) said that they were gathered together for the discussion of four points : First, upon open-air preaching generally ; secondly, the work of preaching at fairs, &c. ; thirdly, indoor visitation in workhouses, prisons, &c. ; and fourthly, the best way of preparing for preaching, in the shape of educational classes.—Mr. Walker gave an account of his preaching work at the Royal Exchange. He observed that these services had been held for a number of years at the foot of the Royal Exchange, under the sanction of the Lord Mayor ; but recently they had been disturbed by a band of Free-thinkers. A deputa tion had waited upon the Lord Mayor on the subject, ane the advice given was, that preaching should be abstained from for a few weeks,but after that the agents of the Open- Air Mission could go on with their work. Mr. John Mac gregor (Rob Roy) rose and said that all men were not fitted for argument, and therefore they should be careful, especially in the present clay. Discussion might prove useful, or it might prove a snare; therefore his (the speaker's) advice to open-air preachers was, if they dis cussed, to do so carefully. After sonic other speeches th• nroceedir.gs were brought to a close. SHEDDEN LEGITIMACY CASE. The case of W. P. R. Shedden and Annabelle Jean Retston ! Shedden v. the Attorney-General and othe:s again came be fore the House of Lords on appeal yesterday. The argu meats were resumed, Miss Shedden again al pealing before their lordships to continue her opening address, which occupied eight days before the Whi!suntide recess. The present appeal is from the Court of Divorce and Matrimonial Causes against a decree pronounced Ly the full Court, con sisting of the Lerd Ordinary, the late Mr. Justice Witht man, and Mr. Justice Vaughan Williams, who decided that tne elder petitioner (the father d Miss Shedden) is not legiti mate, and therefore is not a natural born subject. Miss Shed , !eu now made au application that counsel might be heard to ague the legal points of the case. Lord Chelmsford—When your case was first before their lordships, the Lord Chancellor was not a member of your lordships' house, and therefore I have felt myself round to take the initiative The greatest possible indulgence Las been shown throughout the proceedings to Miss Shedden, which she has not failed to take advantage of. She has already cccup'ed eight days, and I think it would be trilling with your lordships if counsel wcro now to be heard. Miss Sheddeu then procotded with her address. Mr. Mellish, Q.C., Mr. J. J.

On Monday morning, according to intelligence from Aberdare, a boiler explosion, attended with most serious results, took place at Aberaman, South Wales. About half•past six o'clock in the morning a number of men were waiting round the Plough Pit, a colliery belonging to the Powell Duffryn Company, when suddenly a rumbling noise was heard, and a large boiler, bursting into three pieces, shot into the air. A piece weighing three tons was carried away nearly 100 yards, and fell on the side of the Taff Vale Railway. Another and smaller piece flew into the air almost perpendicularly. The flying el6bris was the chief cause of the fatal consequences, the massive pieces of iron being injurious only to property. Huge stones, pieces of timber, and fragments of metal fell among the men who were sitting clown. A terrible havoc was the result. Of the four men that are killed the heads of three are cola. pletely smashed, and the other, the stoker, was found standing underneath where the boiler had been, as though he had gone to light his pipe. He was up to his knees in boiling water, and when found was stiff and rigid, and had evidently been scalded to death. The names of the deceased are—George Rose, stoker, 32, single man ; David Richards, collier, 16, single ; David Lewis, labourer, 22, single ; Daniel Griffiths, collier, 32, married; the last of whom has left an invalid wife and a very large family. Several men suffered from skull wounds caused by fall ing atones. Two are so seriously injured that their recovery is doubtful. Several miraculous escapeswere ex- perienced. A large piece of timber about fourteen feet long, and weighing two or three hundredweight, had been torn from the roof of the engin e-house,carried over the adjoin ing buildings, and hurled with a force that must have been tremendous through the roof of a house 200 yards away. It pierced the roof in a slanting direction, and struck swell a few inches above a bed on which a child was sleeping, thence it rebounded, and fell just on the side of the bed, leaving the child unscathed. A large stone, after crushing through the roof of another house, was c aught by a rafter and suspended by it over two men who were lying in bed. For some time it has been thought that the boilers were too weak for further use, and others have been in course of erection in another part of the works. No cause can be assigned for this sad catastrophe. AN ACTRESS ON TIER PROFESSION.—An American actress, who has retired from the stage, writing to one of the New Y ork papers, says :—" When a girl goes into a theatre to apply for a situation now she finds that the requirements of managers are expressed in the follow ing questions Is your hair dyed yellow?' Are your legs, arms, and bosom symmetrically formed, and are you willing to expose them?' Can you sing brassy songs, and dance the Can-can, and wink at men, and give utterance to disgusting half words which mean whole actions?' Are you acquainted with rich men who will throw you flowers, and send you presents, and keep afloat dubious rumours concerning your chastity?' Are you willing to appear to-night, and every night, amid the glare of gaslights and before the gaze of thousands of men, i n this pair of satin breeches ten inches long, without a vestige of drapery on your person?' If you can answer ' these questions affirmatively, we will give you a situation. If not, there's the door.'" ROYAL DRAMATIC COLLEGE.—The annual meet- ing of the governors and subscribers to this institution was held on Monday afternoon, in the saloon of Drury. lane Theatre, Mr. Benjamin Webster, the Master of the College, occupying the chair. The report acknowledged, with pride, the continued patronage of her Majesty, the Prince of Wales, and other members of the Royal Family. No vacancy had occurred in the College during the year, thus sustaining the opinion that it was situated in one of the healthiest lccalities of the kingdom. Including a brought forward balance of £633 Bs., and a legacy of £lOO from the late Dr. Eldred, the receipts of the year had been £1,613 ls. 7d., the whole of which with the exception of £177 17s. 2d. had been expended. The Master and Mr. T. Stewart having moved and seconded the adoption of the report, Mr. C. L. Gruneisen urged the necessity for endea vouring to create an endowment fund, without which the College could not be satisfactorily maintained. The Master replied that everything that could had been done in that direction. Lords and gentlemen might promise subscriptions, but there was no means of making them pay up, and the theatrical, like almost every other pro. fession, had failed to subscribe annually to the institutions founded for their benefit. ,bare ktallways, at Bristol and Exeter 103 77 79 at Caledonian lOO 7.4 77 771 a. 43..intirtan 20 Corn ev.411. ,t Dublin & Beltast June— 10" 77 79 it Dun., l'ertll, A.b.Junc all 7lll 7 71 2 East Lundou. 150 15 2) Do 10 — — Glasgow S. 1 S.

TATTERSALL'S--LAsT EVENING. THE OBJECTION TO PRETENDER. The following is the written protest of Sir Joseph Hawley:— (COPT.) 6, Old Burlington-street, May 31, 18G9. Having heard a rumour that Mr. Sadler, the nominator of Pretender for the Derby, died bofore the race was run, I zivo notice to you not to pay over the stakes till the matter is cleared up. (Signed) JOSEPH iIAWLEY. To Messrs. Weatherby. Ileanwhi!e, answers to the telegratns which hal been sent to Doncaster were awaited with great impatience, but it was not• until about four o'clock, nea:l3,- three hours aft,r the first message had been sent, that they arrived. I give copies of two which came under my notice: May 31. Report false. Mr. Sadler quite well ; passed my shop this mortal:18-, and saw DJrby ilia for list wsek. Now hero. ' From T. Dawson to R. Booth. May 31. Sadler is quite well ; not likely to die. If, after these messages, any doubt hld remained as to Sadler's not having gone the way of all flesh, it would surely have been dispelled by the following telegram, received half as hour later, front hi:itself, which reads not _unlike a commutticat:oa from the spirit over whom Air. Home has such iullueuca : - - Sadler, Doncaster, to Mr. TA:tersall. T am breeder of Pretender, and nominated him myself. lam quite wt-11, and in good It- abb. All doubt having been set at rest by these very satisfac tory communications, the committee of Tattersalt's set themselves with praiseworthy zeal to aid them by endea vouring to allay the panic that still prevailed, and besides using their personal influence with memoirs, th-y iisued the following uotize:— . . The committee having ascertained that the nominator of Pretender is now alive, all accounts must be fettled.

HOUSE OF COAIMONS.—This EVENING The SPEAKER took the clair at four _ PARK-LANE IMPROVEMENT BILL. On this bill being further consid.red, The Marquis of HAMILTON' moved the insertion of the following clause, " That the Park-lano Improventeot Bill be recommitted to the former committee, in order V at a clause might be inserte 1 declaring that the lessees and occupiers of property in Hamilton-;dace were within the provisions: of the ilith soctiou “f the Lawls t 1 us .a Consolidation Act, 1845, with respect to laud iujuti ,usly affected." Mr. BOUVERIE, as Chairman of the Committee on Private Bills, opposed the motion. The clause had been rejected by the committee on the ground that the Proprie tors and owners of houses in Hamilton-place should nut be treated differently to other owners of property. Mr. STANSFELD said it. appeared to the Govern ment that a distincti , n should be drawn between the Crown as a landlord and others, but the Government had come to the conclusion to leave the matter to ba dealt with by the hous - e. Mr. TIT E said it was thought by the Metropolitan Board that to introduce into a private bill exceptional legislation would be highly dangerous. Mr. BALL supported the insertion of the clause. Mr. LOCKE did not think the aristocratic residents in Hamilton-place had the right to ask for exceptional 'Litton in their favour, when such a proposal by the more common people would be looked upon as a piece of presumption. The ratepayers had already been burdened enough, and it was too much to ask that they should be further pressed for the benefit of the Crown and the fashionable residents in Hamilton-place. if the clause was not withdrawn be should give his vote against it. Mr. HENLEY thought it would be wise to withdraw the clause; he could not give his assent to it. The clause was negatived without a division. VISIT OF THE VICEROY OF EGYPT. Ittr. 6+VrAff in reply to Mr. Gourley, said the Go vernment had received intimation that it was the inten tion of his Highness the Viceroy of Egypt to visit V is country about the 22d of this month, and arrangements would be made to give hie Highness a suitable reception upon his arrival in this country. (Rear, hear.) - POLITICAL PENSIONS. Mr. GLADSTONE, in reply to Mr. Fawcett, said that a person deserving a pension from Indian or C 01..- nial revenues wnuld not, as matters now tt )od, ha prevented fiom receiving a political pension ; but In order that the whole subject might be fully considered, he wuul.t move the postponement of the consideration of the bill, which stood for to-morrow, until Monday next.

Since) the great demand for photographic lenses has diminished, an opportunity has been afforded for applying mechanical power with the greatest success, whereby the cost of these beautiful and most perfect instruments is reduced in price in some instances to as much as 20 per cent. In fact they are now no dearer than those of the best French or English makers. At the depot Aallaghan, 23A, New Bond-street, corner of Conduit-street, the patrons of the Derby may indulge their taste in th© possession of a veritable Voigtliinder at comparatively trifling cost. It is superfluous to say the quality is as ever matchless.

To-day the first Exhibition of the National Dog's Club was opened to the public at Laycock Dairy Yard, Liverpool-road, Islington. There was a very large attendance of the public to witness the novel exhibition. The entries were particularly numerous, there being nearly 1,000 entered for competition, and the amount to be awarded in prizes amounting to £BOO. His Royal Highness the Prince of \Vales sent his cele brated hound Vulcan, the deer hounds presented to him by the Emperor of Russia, and others to ' compete for the prizes. On entering the yard the visitor is first attracted by the bloodhounds, they present a very formidable array, but the mastiffs, who succed, exceeds them in strength and n umber. The Mount St. Bernard dogs attract attention, and after them comes the universal favourites the Newfound land dogs. Ihe pointers, setters, retrievers, and other sporting dogs make a great show, but after the very large, the very small dogs seem t,) attract the most attention, and in the toy dog class there arc favokuites that the lady owners would not sell " for worlds." The Spaniards, King Charles' , and other fancy breeds are well represented, atid the show no doubt will be a great success. The only pi ize yet awarded is in the Deerhound Class, Nos. 17, 18, 19, entered by 'Mr. Cole, of Windsor Great Park, to which the judge.; I.a‘e awarded the first, second, and third pi it s.
