The Bank of England return, completed to the 25th April, is of a more satisfactory character than the last. The reserve of notes has been increased by about a quarter of a million, while the other secu rities show a diminution of nearly three-quarters of a million sterling. The public deposits have been augmented to the extent of nearly half a million, while the private deposits show a decline of nearly a million. A slight addition has been made to the stock of bullion, while the active circu lation exhibits a small falling off. The various items of the balance-sheet, and the charges they present, will be seen in the subjoined table : Active Circulation .. Decrease -... ..

It is probable also that the demand has been stimulated by the liquidation of the account in Foreign Stocks and Railway Shares. The English Funds still exhibit symptoms of buoyancy, a further rise of k per cent. having taken place yesterday. Only a small amount of business has been negotiated to-day, but it has not caused any change in values, Consols being 94i 95 for money, and 941- 95 for the account.

South-Eastern improved 58. ; North-Western, Midland, and North-Eastern (Berwick), 10s. ; and Lancashire and Yorkshire, £l.

The present Marquis has four children all under age, of whom the plaintiff is a child ; and the question that was raised in the special case for the opinion of the Court was—first, what interest does the present marquis and his children become entitled to in the freehold and chattel real of the last marquis under the words of his will—" to my brother, Lord John Beresford, and his chil dren in succession ;" second, whether any and what portion of the personal estate of the testator (other than the chat tel real in his plate, jewels, &c.), passed by his will, and to whom, and what extent of interest. Mr. R. Palmer, Q.C., and Mr. Erskine contended that the present marquis took an estate for life in all the pro perty, with remainder to his children in succession in tail. Mr. Lloyd, Q.C., and Mr. H. Farrel, on behalf of the younger children, suggested that the will either conferred on the Marquis and his children successive life estates with an intestacy as to the inheritance, or made them joint tenants in feo. Their lordships were of opinion that John Beresford took the leasehold estates in England and Ireland abso lutely as estates in fee. With respect to the personalty —there was no interest in the personalty during the life of the ➢larchioness Dowager as to the personalty in Eng land—the word property being used represents the class of property in that locality, the land in Northumberland, the defendant takes all the plate and jewels situated there, but there is an intestacy during her life. There is also £l,OOO a year to be paid to his sister out of his Irish property. This property was devised under this provision. Their lordships now considered the questions raised on the construction of this will written by the testator were sufficiently answered. ---- POLICE INT'ELLIGENC'E.—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBERY BY A Cnnu.—Edward Marrell, a little boy, was charged before Mr. Bingham with stealing a silver watch of the value of £2, the property of Mr. Jas. Bradford, watchmaker, of 58, Bolsover-street. Mrs. Sarah Bradford, the wife of the prosecutor, said she only left her bedroom for about 20 minutes, and on returning to it missed the watch produced, the value of which was £2, the property of her husband. Lambert, 68 E, said he took the boy into custody, and on telling him he was charged with stealing a watch he said he did take it, and that he got into the bedroom by the back window. He found in his possession a brass cannon, about a foot long, of first-rate make (produced), which he said a boy had given to him. He also believed he had robbed other lodgers in the same house, where his parents also lived. In answer to Mr. Bingham, the boy said he had a father, that he was a carpenter, and worked at Messrs. Marshall and Snelgrove's. Mr. Bingham said it was a case in which the boy ought to be sent to a reformatory, and he should therefore remand him to see what could be done with him. A USEFUL CAU noN.—William Morris, a cunning look ing boy, was charged with stealing an umbrella from the hall of 23, Golden-square, as follows : The boy went to the house, stating that he had called for some music from Holborn, and while Miss Rapp, the daughter of the prosecutor, had gone upstairs to maka in quiries, the boy seized up an umbrella and made off, but was pursued by Ryan, of the C division, and taken into custody, having in his flight thrown the umbrella down an area. Remanded, it being believed other cases will be brought against him. 7111 S DAY'S MARKETS. COVENT-GARDEN.

THE LATE FIGHT FOR TEE CHAM- PIONSHIP. PRESENTATION TO TOM SAYERS.—(THIS DAY.) This morning the neighbourhood of Mincing-lane was thrown into an extraordinary state of excitement by the announcement that Tom Sayers, the renowned pugilist, would attend, at the invitation of the gentlemen who deal in colonial produce, and who do business at the Commer cial Sale Rooms, for the purpose of receiving a sum of money which had been subscribed as a mark of respect for his late prowess in the prize ring. Although the informa tion was conveyed to the persons privileged:to be present in the rooms, together with such private friends as were con sidered eligible, the news spread like wildfire through the city, and Mincing-lane was crowded long before the champion was expected. He arrived a few minutes before 12 o'clock, and was received with tremen dous demonstrations of applause. He made his way into the coffee-room, where he was received with great en thusiasm, and then conducted upstairs into the Indigo room, where the ceremony of presentation took place. Mr. Seton Lang, one of the most eminent of the merchants fre quenting the rooms, ascended the rostrum from which the brokers sell their goods, and taking Tom Sayers on his right hand, introduced him to the meeting. Deafening cheers followed the introduction, during which the Cham pion remained perfectly cool. Mr. Lang then addressed the meeting in eulogy of Tom Sayers, and remarked that, though the subscription flagged at first, it soon run up to £lOO when it was known that the renowned Champion was coming amongst them. (Cheers.) Many of the most eminent merchants had subscribed, as well as the lowest porters about the place, not that they admired prize fighting, but they felt the highest respect for a man who had shown so much courage and endurance. He hoped there would be no more fighting ; but if the Fates should ordain otherwise, every one amongst them would be ready to express a conviction that no foreigner would ever be able to take the belt from the gallant fellow beside him. (Tremendous cheers.) Mr. Lang then pi esented Sayers with a blue purse studded with white beads, con taining 100 sovereigns. Sayers thanked the company for the purse, and hoped he would do good with it; but as he was no spokesman they must dispense with a speech. He then went back to the coffee -room, where he was again loudly cheered, and at length drove off in a cab amidst thunders of applause from the outsiders. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

S. Crawfurd, Mr. Etwall, Mr. Greville, Sir J. Hawley, Mr. Lowther, Mr. Payne, Mr. Savile, Lord Stam ford, Lord Stradbroke, Lord Strathmore, and Lord Win chelsea. A ballot took place ; Lord Courtenay was elected a mem ber of the club, and was afterwards present at the meetiig. Resolution proposed by the Duke of Beaufort, and se conded by Lord Winchelsea :—" That the Jockey Club de precate the interference of the Legislature in fixing the weights to be carried by race horses." Lord Stradbroke proposed to substitute the word "regret" for "deprecate," but the amendment was not seconded, and the original resolution passed unanimously. It was moved by Mr. Greville, seconded by Lord Ports mouth, and resolved unanimously—" That a petition be presented by the Jockey Club to the House of Lords, pray ing their lordships not to pass a bill entitled 'An Act to prevent the entering or running horses carrying very light weights.' " It was moved by Sir Joseph Hawley, seconded by Mr. Lowther, and unanimously resolved—" That if a horse's name be changed it shall be nocessary, in entering the said horse, to give his old as well as his now name in overy no mination for twelve months ; and if his name is changed again, all his names must be repeated for the like period ; and nominations made contrary to this regulation shall be invalid." Sir J. Hawley brought under the notice of the meeting the abuses arising from the practice of entering horses in fictitious names. The importance of the subject was re cognised by the members present, and after some discussion it was resolved that the question should be further con sidered at the next meeting of the club. Adjourned. COLONIAL POST-OFFICES.--The expediency of calling upon the colonies to manage their own post-offices has been affirmed. After the Ist May (or the let of June in Jamaica) the British Post-office will no longer have direction of any colonial post-office, except those at the military sta tion at Gibraltar and Malta,—Civil Service Gazette.

G owen (American contractor with the Russian Government for raising the sunken s hi ps i n th e h ar b ou r) for some information—he being the only person who knew their relative positions—who very kindly offered to accompany me. Our first visit was to Cathcart's-hill, where we found the beautiful large black marble cover on the tomb of Sir Robert Lyd stone Newman, Captain of Grenadier Guards, had been removed by some sacrilegious hands, doubtless seeking for jewellery or other articles of value. We endeavoured to replace the cover in its proper posi tion, but were unable to move it. Col. Gowen pur posed having it replaced in a few days. We also found the hinges on the gates partly hacked off, evidently for the paltry value of the copper. I also learn from Col. Gowen that there had been previ ously a number of shot and shell placed over and around several of the graves by relatives and friends who had visited the spot ; these, together with the large shot surmounting the corners of the wall en closing the cemetery, and on each side of the gate, are now all gone. We next visit e d th e A r till er y grave y ar d, and discovered that they had also disturbed the tablet from the tomb of Capt. W. K. Allix, Aide•de.Camp to Gen. Sir De Lacy Evans. The walls around this cemetery were sadly broken down. We then proceeded to the graveyard of the Naval Brigade, where a ghastly sight presented itself. We found the slabs that covered the grave of -Commander Lacon Usser Hammett, of H.M.'s ship Albion, had been turned over and the remains of that lamented officer entirely . exhumed, the bones as well as some remaining portions of the uniform being scattered around the grave, which evidently had been opened only a few days befor e . It was truly a heart -sickening s pectacle to beh o ld the last mortal remains o f this brave officer lie bleaching in the sun. Col. Gowen assured me that on the following Sunday he would have the remains carefully restored to their former peaceful state. We then visited several other gra ve y ar d s , an d found them more or less in a very dilapidated state —the walls broken down in many places, and in some instances so much so that e ven th e cattle have b ee n found grazing within the enclosures. Notwithstanding, however, the mutilated and neglected state of many of the graves of those brave men who fell in the Crimea, still the sincerest thanks of every true Englishman are due to Col.Gowen for the truly Ch r i s ti a n and sympathising interest he has so disint ere stedly taken in having, entirely at his own expense and trouble, already repaire d and restored many of the English graves and ceme teries, as well as several of the Fren ch and Sardi nian, and preserved them from violation and decay. It is sincerely to be hoped that our Government will take such speedy and necessary measures for putting our graveyards in a proper state of repair as to preserve from oblivion the last resting-places of so many brave men who fell during the Crimean campaign. cStki 1 20 Stock 12.10 stork 60 Stock Stock Stock Stock Stock Stock Stock 124 124 stock 6 Stock 124 Stock Stock Stock 6 Stock 10 12 10 12a Stock Stock Stock Stock Stock 101 19 Stock Stock Stock Stock Stock Stock 8k Stock Stock Stock 10s. 10 1.0.6.
