Tho fluctuations in Atlantic and Great Western Bonds and Debentures and Erie Rail way Shares, appear to be bringing the public to a sense of the policy produced by the late operations. It i no .v "iddut that the holders of any of these securities are quite at the mercy of the manipulators of the "wires between New York and London ;" because a r ise or a fall may be encouraged just as the W ishes of the dealers may suggest. The drop has compromised a large number of individuals, and t hose who have held with the view of realising at a c omparatively satisfactory price, will again have t° Wait a rally should it occur, though meanwhile there will be sundry variations. Mexican dollars are scarce, and, being in de mand for Coina, have risen to 4s. 110. per is "cee. Bar silver is dull, and the inquiry for India 411 temporarily abated, pending the result of the t enders for bills next week.

Religious antipathies have led to another and a terribly fatal collision between the population of Ireland. At Londonderry on Wednesday night there was an encounter between the Protestants and Roman Catholics. Stone throwing continued a long time, then shots were fired,and the police were compelled to return the fire. Two men were shot dead and several others badly wounded. One or two are not expected to recover. At midnight the town was quiet. The dead men have not been identified, but evi dently belong to the labouring class. It is said that the shot of the police caused one of the deaths. DUBLIN, April 29. TI origin of the riots at Derry is not yet accurately know When Prince Arthur was on the balcony of the Hall, the apprentice buys marched past with their cannon and banners, and wearing sashes. Groans were given fur Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Serjeafit Dowse (M.P. for Londonderry), which were replied to by " Cheers for Dowse and Equality." The apprentice bays also loudly cheered the Queen. It was late in the evening when the riot began. One account says that the band of the apprentice boys was fired on by persons armed with revolvers. Shots were returned, and stone-throwing and firing on both sides continued. The police then tried to clear the streets ; and, in an encounter with the mob, shot two men, one of whom is dead, and several persons are dangerotuly wounded. In the end, the military had to be called out, and peace was restored. The Roman Catholic journals throw all the blame on the Apprentice boys. Prince Arthur left Londonderry this morning in conse quence of the extraordinary conduct of the rioters. 'The Dublin correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazette says : " Order was only restored when the 54th Regi ment turned out and patrolled the streets. County In spector Stafford narrowly escaped a pistol shot. Several houses bad all their windows smashed. Everything is reported quiet this morning." The Belfast correspondent of the same journal tele graphs :—" Three men are reported to be dead. To-day the Prince arrived at Portrush on his way to the Giant's Causeway."

A correspondent of the Buffalo Express writes : " Brocton, a quiet place, fifty miles eastward of Buffalo, and hitherto known only for its superior wines and grapes, has recently attained celebrity as the residence of Law rence Oliphant, the British diplomatist and legislator. I have very recently made a flying visit to the grounds of the community to which he belongs, and of which he is the cashier. While passing through the village we met a lady and gentleman in a sleigh. The latter, in spite of his plain attire, bore about him the unmistakeable air of breeding and culture. He halted and engaged in conversation with Mr. Ryckman, an introduction from whom confirmed the surmise that the gentleman was no other than the former star of Belgravia and petted companion of royalty ; Mrs. Oliphant was with him. Arrived at the office, we were joined in a few moments by Mr. Oliphant. who at once proposed to exhibit the grounds. The entire grounds of the society embrace 1,600 acres, lying mostly between the main road and the lake. The bead of the organisation is Mr. Harris, a nephew of T. Harris, United States Minister to Spain. Mr. Harris came here two years since, and going from one farmer to another, obtained their respective farms. No one was aware of the general sweep which he was making, and when he had completed his negotiations, the entire farming community of a region embracing nearly three square miles discovered that they had sold out. In the course of the season the entire colony of over twenty families came on and took possession. Mr. Harris is the originator of a new system of theology, which resembles the teachings of Emmanuel Swedenl o .g. The m?mbe..s f h e3lony ate converts. The property is held in common, but in other respects there is nothing socialistic in the system. The family is sacredly guarded. They do not cultivate social relations outside their community. So strong is the desire to seclude that they are removing the highway from its former course. The intervening space thuscreated between their dwellings and the road will be laid out in park. The almost exclusive branch of industry is grape growing, with a share of attention to otherlines of horticulture. Thirty acres are set to one variety of grapes—though other varieties are cultivated. It is evident that the accession of so much capital, industry, and intelligence will add greatly to the wealth. A few years of skilful management of the place will convert the entire tract into one of the loveliest and most productive places in the country. It is not known where Mr. Oliphant first came in cont a t with the religious teachings which brought about so strange a revolution in his life, but it is thought he first met Mr. Harris in Japan, where he was Secretary to the British Embassy, and from him lie imbibed the doctrines. Ile expresses entire satis faction with his acti,n." Prince Arthur intends to visit the Isle of Man on Tuesday next. A man named Ailmey was apprehended at Lincoln on Wednesday, charged with a murderous attack on his wife. Her di positions were taken at midnight. The ac cused was lately in custody charged with ki.ling a man with crowbar, but was discharged. The hold though unsucceEsful attempted robbery of arms from a vessel lying in Wheeler's dockyard at Monks town, Cork hal hour, is now found out to be nothing more than an ordinary robbery. The depredators cast away the greater Lumber of the weapons on the dock atchman giving chase, and all but four pistols have been recovered. On Thursday morning a I reak fast meeting of the members and friends of the Society for Promoting the Due Observance of the Lord's Day was held at Fret ni sons' Tavern, under the presidency of Mr. W. T. Charley, M.P. Several clergymen and other gentlemen addressed the meeting in support of resolutions expressive of confidence in the society's operations. A mass meeting of the Sheffield men on strike at Mr. Huntsman's pits, to the number of 700, was held on WednesCay, at Attercliffe, when a resolution wasp)ssed to the effect that the strike was to be confirm, d. Mr. Huntsman has now got about 80 non-union men in his pits, and a move. ment has been Eta on foot by these men for the formation of a free labour tvsociation. This is the 'fourteenth week of the strike, and there is no likelihood of its coming to s to minatior. A batquet took place on Wednesday at Ipswich, in honour of Mr. Cobbold, who for many years represented the town in the Conservative interest. The speakers in cluded Lieut.-Col. Jervis, M.P., the Hen. J. If. M. Henniker- Major, M.P., Lord A. Hervey, M.P., and Mr C. S. Road, M.P. Lord A. Hervey, in responding to the sentiment of "Church and State," referred to the fact that the Consern tives were in a minority in the House of Commons. "But although," said his lordship, "the prospects of the Conserva tives might seem for a moment dark and cheerless, he thought they had no cause to allow themselves to be dismayed or dis couraged; on the contrary, he thought there was much in the position of affairs to inspire them with hope. Even adversity, too, was the strongest tie which cou7d band them together." BURSTING OF n► RESERVOIR. —A disastrous occur rence has taken place at the Bannister Hall Print 'Works, Higher Walton,a village a few miles from Preston. Thero are two extensive reservoirs in connection with the works, one of them, a very large one, covering nearly two acres of land, which was used for clean water purposes. At the time the accident it contained a depth of eighteen feet of water. Between the hours of twelve at night and three in the morning this immense sheet of water burst through its banks into the river Darwen, near which it was situated. It is considezed as a reason for the disaster that the reservoir had been filled too full the previous day, and water having filtered into the rat-holes that lined its banks, worked its way through until a continuous opening had been made; and the banks being only composed of clay, a large gap was soon made, and the water rushed out into the Darwen with immense velocity, carrying all before it. In a very short time the reservoir was quite empty, and now the place where the accident occurred exhibits an enormous fissure, twenty yards wide by over six yards deep. It is estimated that the disaster will cause a complete stoppage of the works for three weeks, and will necessitate a large number of workpeople being thrown out of employment for that length of time. S ENDI NG THREATENING L ETTERS.—The Killarney correspondent of Saundcro' Yews writes : " A young man, named Joseph Stephens, and his father Richard, were brought up at the last Milltown Petty Sessions charged with having sent a threatening letter to Mr. R. J. Marshall, J.P., of Callinaferey, within a few miles of Milltown, in this county. It appeared that the Stephenses held a quantity of land which was not leased to them, as was another portion which theyoceupied under him. Mr. Marshall served them with notice to quit, and accordingly in due time demanded possession on the 2,5 th, 2Gth, and 27th of last month, but was refused. After this refusal a letter bearing the Tralee postmark was received by Mr. Marshall, cautioning him against dispos sessing the Stephenses, and which was headed Tipperary.' A subsequent letter was received by Mr. Marshall's coach man, cautioning him also not to sit on the box seat of the carriage, or otherwise he would lose his life. A lengthened inquiry having taken place, the younger prisoner was committed for trial a“lie ensuing assizes, and the father was discharged, tirere being nu evidence adduced to sustain the char:4e again - sthim. Mr. Marshall is one of the most proprietors in this county; and has been ieldom, known. Vo be Lnailty_cf 4ny - ofprespp . a9. o beading . tovia _ ll Lowitly. • • • i - 1114,u EDI _ . NOTICE.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his scat on the woolsack at five o'clock. Their lordships were occupied the whole of the early part of the evening in considering the motion of Lord Westbury for tl:e second reading of the Fine Arts Wry right Consuldation and Amendment Bill. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TIIIS EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PARK LANE. Mr. LAYARD, in answer to Mr. C. Denison, said the rights of tho Crown over Hamilton-garden were precisely the same as over the adjoining portion of Hyde-park. A very litt'e portion of the gardens would be taken, and under those circumstances no alteration would be made in the present arrangement. niE PUBLIC OFFICES. Mr. LAYARD, in reply to Mr. W. H. Smith, said it was intenled to take further property in Great George street, Dehthay-street, and Duke-street. It was most de sirable that the owners of the premises required should be informed of the intentions of the Government as soon as possible. THE SURVEY. Mr. CARDWELL, in reply to Mr. Andrew Johnson, said that arrangements would be made to conduct the sur vey of deer forests in Scotland with the greatest conside ration for the interests of the proprietors. CORRUPT PRACTICES. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said it was intended by the commissioners to commence their inquiries on the cor rupt practices in Norwick, Bridgwater, Beverley, Dublin, Csehel, ex., as soon as possible. TITHE BENT CHARGE. Mr. GLADSTONE, in reply to a question from Mr. Charley, said there did not appear to be any necessity for, and neither had the Government taken the matter into consideration. THE 1111S11 CHURCH. Mr. GLADSTONE said with respect to the inconve nience the Irish members would encounter in their at tendance on committees by the house meeting on Tuesday morning, he hoped as the matter would last but a short timo an effort would be made to get through the com mittee business as speedily as possible. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE-THE MAYOR OF CORK. Mr. GLADSTONE said he had now to make the motion that the house would meet at two o'clock on Tuesday morning next. There was the greatest desire to get through the provisions of the bill as early as possible, and with that view he bad to appeal to hon. members who had motions on the paper, which it was their inten tion of proceeding with on the motion for going into committee of supply. Most of those motions had been postponed, and he did hope that the hon. member opposite who proposed to call the attention of the house to the cause of Lavelle versus Proudfoot tried at the last Galway assizee. He had to say that as yet the Attorney-General had not completed his arrange ments. The Government was in communication with the Lord Lieutenant, in order to determine whether it was desirable to propose any measure to Parlia ment to strengthen the repression and suppression of outrage, as it would be impossible to proceed with out complete information. With respect to the re port that had boon published in the newspapers of the speech of the chief magistrate of the second city in Ireland, viz., tho Mayor of Cork, the Government at once took steps to obtain correct information on the point. They had received certain statements that the meeting at which the objectionable remarks were uttered was not what could 113 properly called a public meeting, as very few persons were present. At present he u as not in a position to say the words used were correctly reported ; but as yet tLey had not received the requisite information. If it should turn cut that words were correctly reported, he need hardly say the Govern ment would be in a condition to take all those measures it might lie proper to adopt. As the information on the subject was as yet very imperfect; he hoped the lion. member for Liverpool, after the statement he bad made, would notit press forward his mot i o n that evening, viz., to call thlrattention of We house to recent events in Ireland. - Sir E. PEEL said the right hon. gentleman said the -Meeting was only a small one, and that the remarlo• had not been nab in the capacity of Mayor of Cork—(no, no.), —but b 3 that as it may, be should like to know whether the Governmnit Imd received any telegram from the Mayor of Cork to the effect that the remarks that he had ma(lo were not intended to bear the inference that had been put upon them. Mr C. FORTESCUE said the Government were at the present moment not better informed than other members of the house, as the information they possessed was all derived from the newspapers. Ho had taken the best course he thought ho could adopt, viz., ho had written to the resident magistrates in Cork to know if the words of the mayor were correctly reported, and to that inquiry he had not yet received a reply. He thought they would all agree that it was most desirable that that information should be in the hands of Government before a discussion of the matter was gone into. lie had just Lad a telegram placed in his hands by an lion. friend, which was to the following effect, that, pending . th intentions of the Government ou the subject, the municipal council would take no notice of the matter, but the feeling of the council was entirely against the mayor. The motion for the house meeting as proposed on Tues day was non agreed to, and Mr. GRAVES then proceeded to make his motion with resrecc to the dangerous condition of certain parts of Ire laud. In the that place ho wished to know how a parson who had b. en removed from the commission of the pence had 1 eon appointed mayor of Coil; aud whether ho was the same p ‘rsun who had never allowed a sLigle opportunity to pass of making treasezable spi oolies with resle to Engl :ml. lie It'd heard it stated in sonic quarters that the d,eatiful state of matte: s is Ireland was renianism cropping up in another form, but Le did not believe that. He thought the land question was the matter that lead to much of the bloodshed that Lad taken place in Ireland, and in ad dition to that it became their duty to ascertain whether there was any defect in the administration of the law in Ireland, or whether the Lord Lieutenant was wanting in firmness. Altogether the state of things in some parts of Ireland was alarming and dreadful, and ho did hope that Government would give the house somo assurance that they were doing all in their power to put down crime and outrage. Mr. C. FORTESCUE said ho could assure the hon. gentleman that the Government were not wanting in de sire to put down the crime that had now reached au alarm ing height. He must, however, remind the hon. member but these agrarian crimes were not of su tden growth, as they had began to show themselves when the present Go vernment came into office last year. The crimes, it seemed, were chiefly confined to Tipperary and Westmeath, and lie could assure the hon. gentleman the Government would do all in their power to put down the disturbed state of things in the strongest manner the law allowed. (LEFT SITTING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS.-LAST EVENING. THE NIGHT HOUSES. Mr. BRUCE, iu reply to the question as to what the Go vernment proposed with respect to the conflict of opinion that had taken place between Mr. Knox and Sir Wm. Bodkin, the assistant-judge, said the question was not so much one of law, as the amount of 'evidence necessary to ensure a conviction. Mr. Justice Blackburn had given an opinion which referred to the matter, and he had that afternoon received a letter from Deputy-Assistant Judge Payne, which stated that the subject would come on for consideration and decision before the Court of Quarter Sessions to-morrow, and the course he proposed was to wait until that decision had been given before they took upon themselves the duty of amending the law in order that it might be made sufficient to carry out wha t was the obvious intention of the Legislature. TILE IRISII CHURCH. The house then went into committee on this 13:11, and the debate was resumed upon the amendment made by Mr. Disraeli to the 27th clause, the effect of which was to strike out of the bill all the enactments relative to the payments for glebes and glebe houses. After some discussion a - division was taken, and the amendment was negatived by 311 to 227. Clauses 23 and 29 were agreed to, progress was reported, and the house resumed. The remaining business was rapidly gone through, and the house adjourned. LONDON GAZE rTE-TILI i EVENING. WAR OFFICE, PALL MALL, APRIL 30.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in answer to Mr. W. H. Smith, said no exemption that formerly existed with respect to servants was taken away by the new arrangement of the assessed taxes. TIIE TRIAL OF O'FARRELL. Mr. GLADSTONE said he did not think it would be necessary to put the country to the cap .nse of printing the voluminous report of the evidence taken ut the trial. He would lay the report itself in the library, whore it could be inspected by any hon. member. THE CON VIC r PRISONS. Mr. C. FORTESCUE said it was the intention of the Government to introduce a bill to improve the condition of these prisons in Ireland. CIIINA. Mr. OTWAY, in reply to Mr. Dilke, said he thought that some mistake must exist with respect to the publication of a despatch of Sir R. Alcock by the British Consul at Shaghai. The despatch of Lord Clarendon, which had been published in China, would show the opinion of the noble earl with respect to the desire for pro gress by the Government at l!ekin. NATURALIZATION. Mr. BRUCE informed Mr.llodds that the Government intended to introduce a bill on the subject of natural:za tion during the present 5.38-ion. ECCLESIASTICAL TITLES ACT. Mr. M'EVOY, in roply to Mr. Newdegate, said be would fix the second reading of this bill for the earliast day possible. THE FENIAN SPEECH AT CORK. Mr. GRAVES said he thought the notice given lu the early part of the evening scarcely met the gravity of Vie question; he therefore gave notice that on the motion for going into committee of supply, he should call the atten tion of the house to the recent events iu Ireland, and ask certain questiong. (Lowd cries of "Hear, hoar," and cheers.) Mr. GLA DsToNE said with a view to progress b,ing made with the Irish CLurch Bill. he should ask the. hou o to hold a morning sitting on Tuesday next from two to seven o'clock.
