Th.: variations to-day in English railways in clude a rise of 1 in London and South Western, and 1 in Caledonian and Lancashire and York al ire; and also a fall of 4 in Great Northern, and in Great Eastern, Chatham and Dover, and South Eastern. Continental railway shares are steady. Lombardo- Venetian is marked at 2011, and Great Luxemburg at 104 I. In Bank Shares the only feature is an advance of 20s. in Union of London, the price being 35 to 36. London Joint Stock is steady, at 311 to 321- ; OrientM, 41 to 42 ; London and Westminster, 61 to 62 ; London and County, 491 to 501. The transactions in Miscellaneous Securities are very limited, and prices show no quotable change. American Securities are steady at Saturday's quotations, United States Five-Twenty Bonds being marked at SO to 8C; ; _Erie Shares, 20 to 20L and Illinois are firm at 94 to 95f. A stun of £52,000 in bar gold was sent into the Bank on Saturday. The Massilia, from Alexandria, has brought £162,000 in Australian gold, and the Qaeen Bee, from Auckland, £20,000. It is understood that Mexican dollars to the value of about £720,000 hal arrived at Vera Cruz when the last advices left, an 1 that the larger portion may be expected about the end of next week. Some amounts may come by way of New York, the Ame rican steam companies having arranged to bring bullion to London at a charge of only per cent. The report of the Assam Company fur the year ending 31st December last has bean issued. It states that the estimated result of the year's opera tions exhibits a c,ritling profit, and that the esti mates for 1869 are sufll.3ieatly favourable to justify the directors in propsing an interim dividend of 2 per cent. on the pail-up c tpitc.l. _ . Vice-Chaucellor Alalins has appointed the 12th of July to settle the list, of cyatributori:s of the Aberdare Merthyr Steam Cod Company, creditors of which are required to send in the par ticulars of their claims by the 19:i of this mouth t) Mr. henry Dever, of Lothbury, the official liqui dator. A committee of Erie Railway shAreholders has been formed in London for the purpose of prose cuting their rights and taking proceedings against the present directors, with the view of protecting the intereAs of the property, and making the ma nagement responsible for their late conduct. The committee are highly respectable, and a subscription of is. per share, it is thought, will be sufficient to provide the necessary funds for taking action in the courts of New York. The directors of the Crystal Palace Company have issued their report in anticipation of the meeting. They state that the first six months of the financial year, terminating April 30, 18G9, show very satisfactory results, the receipts indi cating a perceptible improvement on the usual winter revenu , . , . The course takm by the pro prietors of ordinary stock in relinquishing their dividend at the last meeting has materially strengthened the financial position of the com pany by affording relief from the monetary obli gations which were from time to time furcel upo❑ Vle, directors by the want of sufficient working capital. The annunt standing to the debit of the Dulwich Wood estate has been brought within very small limits, while the ground rents will in a short time cover the ainJuut of rent payable to the College. The report alludes to a resolution which will be proposed at the approaching meeting to the effect that no money be hereafter borrowed for the parpose of paying any dividend to the ordinary or Preference shareholders, and states that the ques tion of suspending these payments is one entirely for the decision of the proprietors, without whose sanction the directors would not feel justified in departing from the practice hitherto adopted of paying the preference dividend half-yearly. At a meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Felix Leach and Co., of Enfield Mills, near Accrington, the liabilities were stated at £83,972, with assets valued at £23,353. A committee of five was ap pointed to investigate the accounts. The suspension is announced of Messrs. Sutcliffe and Hollinrake, manufacturers, of Todmorden, with insignificant liabilities. A Mr. Hancox, of Newark, New York, is stated to have obtained the privilege from the Govern ment of Venezuela of navigating the waters of that country, and has sent a pioneer steamer, El Heroe, from the Orinoco river, which is navigable from Trinidad to Nuarias, a distance of 1,000 miles. He is building several others, to be covapleted during the present season. BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES. G QTEIINMENT FUNDS. 8 pes:Cent. Consols Ditto for Account, July 7 3 per Cent.

Account, July 7 THE FLOODING OF FEILVDALE COLLIERY _A _ The workings at Ferndale Colliery, which were found to be on fire, have been flooded. The fire occurred in the dip or extreme end of the workings, where the coal des cends at a sharp gradient. It was discovered on the night after the explosion, but owing to the intense heat, the volumes of smoke, and the pressured considerable quanti ties of explosive gas, it was impossible to ascertain whether anything besides the timber props was burning. A thick wall of turf was built across the entrance to the heading, in the hope, by cutting off the air, to smother the fire and render the gas there non.explosive ; but it would seem that there were numerous interstices which could not be closed up, and the fire was not smothered, but continued to Lurn. It was at last determined to flood the working. Nearly 1,000 3 ards of iron pipes were procured from Birmingham. Immediately on their arrival they were put together, and having been connected with large s':orage reservoirs, were conducted down the shaft and al ag the undulating floor of the workings to the part where the fire raged. It was then found to be impossible to penetrate the turf wall, as the pace was too hot for human endurance, and for many yards outside the turf the place was full of smoke, and the coal so Lot that it could scarcely be touched. The pipe was thereupon taken to a place where the natural partition of the strata was thin, and a hole having been bored through this, the pipe was inserted, and a stream of water instantly dis charged into the workings. For many hours this process was attended with great peril, but by the exercise of every possible precaution and care, it was effected without any mishap, and now it may be said that the danger to be apprehended from this source has passed away. The bodies of six of the men are in close proximity to the workings which fired. The explorers were upon them two or three times, and even touched them, but could not remain long enough to remove them, in conse quence of the intense heat. They cannot now be got out until the water has done its work and been withdrawn. In abstracting the water no doubt a considerable efflux of gas will occur, as there are nooks and crannies to which the water cannot be carried, but which will fill up with the gas, and only be freed with the current created by the outflow of the water. With proper came, however, this may be done without mishap. TILE WAR IN NEW ZEAL A .AD. News from the West Coast of New Zealand clown to the sth of April represents the war in that part of the ishind as nearly terminated. A bunt after Tito Kowaru, the Maori leader, on the West Coast, is thus described by the Taranaki Herald : " Colonel Whitmore's colonial forces, after driving the rebel Tito Kowaru from his pah at Otoia, followed him closely up into the heart of the bush, and at last it was thought had overtaken him at a place called Te Ngairi, a bush swamp with an island in the centre, situated about eighteen miles inland from Keteonatea. After many physical difficulties the force succeeded in bridging the swamp to the island, where they landed on the night of the 24th or morn ing of the 25th March, at about a mile from the settlement, without losing a man or even betray ing their presence. At about daylight a move was made up to the village, which appeared to be full of people who were apparently engaged at building what resembled a pah. So well had the place been surprised by our forces that they could easily have shot the natives there, but as they marched up some of them ran out towards them crying out haere mai ' (come here), and said that they were friendly, whilst others ran away as if from fear. After some questioning, the colonel discovered that there were some forty natives, under Ahitana, on the island, who were neutral, and that ten of Tito Kowaru's "'Te halt nia rua," (i.e., 10-12ths of his force) had been among them. A party of the Arawas immediately started in pursuit of the fugitives, but being ignorant of the locality, and after having reached a point called Oraperero, on the line of General Chute's march, finding they had lost the scent of the rebels, they gave up the chase and returned. One good thing, however, this expedition has done; it has so frightened Ahitana, we hear, that he and his people have all come in and taken the oath of allegiance ; and it has shewn that no stronghold can save Tito Kowart's people, or bush screen them from our forces." The Herald believes that operations on the West Coast were coming to an end, and that the forces would be available for the East Coast, where the late massacre took place. Of this event, however, the Herald has, of course, no information. A private of the 44th Regiment was arrested at Tit perary on Friday on the charge of having in hie poses eon a treascnable letter. The Queen, according to present arrangements, will leave Windsor for Osborne on the Bth or 9th of July, and in about six weeks will return to Windsor Castle for ono night only, en route for Scotland. The Prince and Princess Christian will accompany her Majesty to Oaborne and Scotland. THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCHES AND THE STATE. —The General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, at Belfast, before separating, agreed to a cordial address to Lord Spencer, congratulating him upon his appointment to the office of Lord-Lieutenant, and tendering to him their zealous aid in carrying out every measure calculated to promote harmony and goodwill in Ireland. A large and influential committee was appointed to present the address. The Remonstrant Synod of Ulster has adopted a resolution in favour of the Church Bill. ANOTHER IRISH OUTRAGE.—A Dublin corres pondent writes:—" A report has reached town of another attempted assassination in the county of Meath. James Gargan„ a steward in the employment of Mr. Farrell, of Moynalty, was entering the demesne about 9 o'clock, a few evenings back, when he was fired at from behind a hedge by some persons who effected their escape. The ball took effect, but the wounded man is likely to recover. No cause is assigned for the outrage. Gargan and his master are Roman Catholics, and no cause of discontent has ever been alleged against them." CABINET Coulicm.—At the Cabinet Ccuneil held on Saturday, in Downing-street, the Ministcrs present were the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, the Lord Chancellor, Earl de Grey and Ripon, the Earl of Kimberley, the Right Hon. H. A. Bruce, the Earl of Clarendon, Earl Granville, the Right Hon. E.

The Times observes that there are many reasons wll3 the controversy which absorbed the attention of the ration during the last week must not be forgotten. It is obvious that many amendments will be proposed in corn, mittee on the bill. Many of the peers who supported the second reading did so with the avowed intention of intro ducing or supporting amendments at the proper stage, and would have hesitated to vote for the bill—perhaps would have voted against it—bad they not believed they had a reasonable chance of amending it. It is very desirable, if not essential to the safe conduct of the measure, that there should be no misunderstanding uron its principle, no attempt to introduce amend ments which are incompatible with its leading idea, and, on the other land, no denunciation of amend ments as incompatible with it when, in truth, they may simply constitute another method of arriving at the same result. We may agree with Lord StelisLury that the degree of disendow ment is open to discussion ; but, whether it be severe and sweeping cr whether it be lenient and tender, it must be just. In a word, if disendowment be qualified, the qualifications of its severity must be balanced by equivalent advantages conferred on other communions. If, in addition to the retention of the churches by the disestablished communion, the resi dences of bishops and clergy were gratuitously surrendered, with adequate glebes thrown in for nothing, with no compensating benefits elsewhere, the conclusion of the Irish Church Bill would be a sorry contrast to the professions of its promoters. The Times does not say these advantages cannot be left with the Protestant Church, but if they are they must be balanced by a provision of residences and glebes for other pastors and priests. It is possible that the Lords may succeed in carrying both the concession of existing resi dences and the provision of new edifices for the clergy now unprovided for ; but we are satisfied they must do both or neither. An attempt to secure the first without the second must be a failure. They have a week for examination and deliberation before them, which they may turn to good account if they will remember that if they would be generous they must first be just. The Standard thinks that whatever regret may be felt in some quarters for the result of the division in the Lords, it has one consequence at which all friends of the Church and Constitution must rejoice —it settles the only question upon. which they were at issue, and leaves no doubt of the course now to be pursued. The whole of the great moral, social, and political power which during the last week has been arrayed on opposite sides is now reunited ; the intellectual force, the eloquence, statesman. ship, and judgment so strikingly displayed by the chiefs, ecclesiastical and lay, of the Conservative party in the Upper House, will now be brought to bear in support of a common policy. It is of the utmost consequence that some capitalised fund should be provided as a nucleus around which the contributions of the faithful may accumulate, which may sustain the organisation of the Church in the shock of passing through a period of transition and legal dissolu tion, which may provide for the needs of those scattered congregations which cannot provide for their own. Without some such fund, it is the belief of well informed and unprejudiced persons that Protestantism would erelong be extirpated in the South and West of Ireland, and perhaps be ultimately confined to the province and the 'vicinity of Ulster. What is now to be fought for is not ascendancy Lut equality, not pri vilege but freedom, not supremacy but safety. It is no longer a question whether Protestantism shall prevail in Ireland, but whether it shall be tolerated; not whether we shall allow equality to the Roman Catholics, Lut whether we shall subject the Protestants to disadvantages which must end in establishing the ascendancy of Rume. And if at this moment the Pro testants of Ireland, the Conservatives of Lancashire, the friends of the Church generally, fail to appreciate the value of what remains to them, and the significance of the struggle for its retention, their children's children will have reason to regret their indifference and shortsighted. ness at this crisis of their Church's fortunes. The Star says that a prophet is without honour in his own country ; and certainly most weather prophets de s-tree to be. Even the late Admiral Fitzroy, who attempted the most modest of forecasts, was often inaccu rate. He knew as much of the subject as any man, but hr could do no more than watch the barometrical changes as they occurred, and telegraph to the various ports of the kingdom his interpretation of the signs of the weather. Mere, pretenders, however, find it easy to despise the limits which restrain purely scientific observers, and occasionally a lucky guess gives them a world of credit with the vulgar. One of these empirics publicly com mitted himself to a prediction which, but for the incurable gullibility of some people, might open the eyes of credulity itself. He declared that "on the 25th of May we should settle down into a summer similar to that of last year." It is unnecessary to quote the registered facts of the thermometer during the last three weeks in order to measure this very definite pro phecy. We have had March winds, November mists, , :old rains, and cloudy skies. Of midsummer sunshine there Las scarcely been a gleam; and instead of that tropical luxuriance of vegetation which was to remind us of brighter climes, the aspect of the earth partakes of the sombre colour of the heavens. A week or two hence, for aught we can tell, the heat may be insufferable ; but the climatic influences which will be at work even to-morrow can only be guessed at—they cannot be pre-determined with any degree of certainty. It is wholesome that vanity and presumption should occasionally have a fall; and in this case it is a fitting retribution that for a brief hour a sham meteorologist should be the laughing-stock of his own dupes. Thirty-two years have passed, says the Herald, since the Princess Victoria, scarcely eighteen, was told that she stood sovereign of the greatest dominion in the world. In that space we view a series of events never exceeded for interest or importance in the annals of a single reign. There have been wars in the East and in the West ; great political conflicts, in and out of Parliament; Europe surging in revolution and in war around her ; yet not once has a cloud come over her crown, nor a hint of danger been whispered. The institutions of the country have been expanded. Victoria has given her assent to a Reform Bill similar in many respects to that which was assented to by her uncle ; she has seen the triumph of a tremendous agitation against the Corn Laws, and the establishment of Free Trade. But she has also seen the railway system developed upon a scale which places it above the most colossal monuments of antiquity ; the first electric telegraph patent was sealed just eight days before she assumed the regalia, and the Atlantic ih crossed by cables ; three years after her acces sion the penny postage was introduced; the cheap press in due season followed ; everywhere there have been mag nificent movements onward—increase of manufactures, increase of commerce, increase of international com munication ; she herself has made progresses on the Continent, and been entertained in the palaces of Germany and France ; many sovereigns have enjoyed her hospitality here, including two of Oriental lineage ; Great Exhibitions have sprung out of these valuable faci lities of intercourse and improved the industries of the nations ; at home the divisions of the three kingdoms have been united by her visits to each in turn. Even now, multifarious as are the incidents comprehended in this glance, they are only as a handful out of a storehouse. The great men who have stood around her, and so many of whom she has lost ; the ten Administrations over which she has presided ; the twenty-one Parliaments whose legislation she has ratified ; the treaties signed in her name ; the political encounters she has witnessed ; the reputations that have risen and fallen within her sight; the whirl and stream of social changes colouring the aspects of the age—not much of this could she have fore seen when, as a girl sixteen, she burst into tears after they had told her that she was destined to be Queen of England. Yet the vivid and various panorama has actu ally passed before her eyes, and thirty-two years of sove reignty, and we are still enabled to quote concerning her, the old Wurtemburg motto, " Happy is the Land where Love is the subject, and love is the Lord." A TESTIMONIAL TO MR. SHERIDAN.—It is pro posed to present Mr. H. B. Sheridan, M.P., with a testi monial in acknowledgment of his services in connection with the repeal of the duty on Fire Insurance. A VICAR KILLING A CURATE.—L'lndephdant deg Pyrinles Orientate reperts a great scandal. During the performance of mass it is stated that the Vicar of Candies tie St. Paul killed his curate in a manner and for motives which are not yet reported. THE LATE NOTTINGHAM ELECTION. Ward meetings are being held to raise funds to prosecute the petition against the return of Mr. Charles Seely. Mr. Digby Seymour, in his farewell address, says :—" Let the banner of independence only rise the more glorious for the momentary defeat. Rely on me as I rely on you. if, as we believe, the day has been won by money and not by merit, a greater moral victory is yet before us. If substan tial evidence is forthcoming, to establish a case of bribery and undue influence, I trust the purity of election may yet be vindicated in my person. I shall, to the utmost of my Power, co-operate with you for such a purpose. I was rejoiced to read the account of the indignation meet ing, and was especially pleased to see that copper was contributed as well as silver and gold. Once more, my friends, I thank you ; I hope I have fought the battle worthy of Sir Robert's memory ; and I trust the day ill nut far off when the insult to the widow's cap' shall be splendidly avenged." The " widow's cap" is an allusion to one which was hoisted, with a crinoline, on the day of nomination, suggestive of the influence exercised by Lady Clifton in femur of Mr, Seymour, 1 1? t F 3 .

There will be three meetings this week, viz., Stock bridge, Bibury Club, and Newcastle. The Spy is the hope of the Mahon division for the Northumberland Plate, and be is justly entitled to be first favourite, but I am afraid of his temper, or ho would be my selected. The fol lowing will likely be the probable starters : Honest ish (Cameron), Three per Cent. (Snowden), King's Cross (Osborne), the Spy (Morris), Miuster Bell (Hudson), Mexico (Cradock), Itasaian Bear (Wy att), the Biud or Number Nip (SPEwen), Pom frett (Platt), Emerald (Niurdan), and Myosotis (Hunt). Tabouret looks as nearly " dead" for the great event as lira ken, The Drummer, St. hiungo, and Crocus, who are all scratched, after seeing 6 to 1, or less, in the marker. Three per Cent. has alSo gone to the bad since he touched the same rate of odds, the report being that he has been "beaten in his trial" by the boikmakers' horse in the same stable, Mexico. Yet his backers' money may not be quite lost. King's Cross and Pomfret, Osborne's two, both go badly, and the Middleham men du not fancy either, or Mexico or 3liuster Bell, so much as they do Myosutis, who disappointed his owner twice at Chester, and is yet trusted again with a power of money. The Iliud's stay ing I cannot believe in, and therefore I shall plump. for Mexico or Number Nip, next to which I shall expect to see the Spy. The Queen's Plate has 15 entries, but the best amongst them, to my thinking, are Three per Cent. and Brennus. The North Derby Handicap Thorwaldsen or Vansittart will win ; the Members' Plate Python or Donald Bain ; and the Fourth Stephenson biennial Sy rian or Eskdale. The Freeman's Nursery Handicap looks well for Siege Train or Eskdale, and the Seaton Delaval Stakes Hawkhead or Divulger ought to win. _ _ The Eleventh Biennial, at Stockbridge, for 2-year -olds, will possibly attract the attendance of the Saxon ; and if all is true that has been said about him the result of the raze is not a doubtful question, but there is a little difficulty to be encountered by meeting High Church in the contest. The Stockbridge Cup has a good entry ; all, or nearly all, the great guns go for it; and as Knight of the Garter only carries 51b extra for winning the Cup last year, he no doubt will think nothing of the penalty. Sunshine will carry off the Champagne Stakes, provided she makes an appearance. The Beaufort Han dicap has fourteen left iu, the top weight being Paul Jobes, 4lyrs, Bst 121 b. Cock of the Walk, including his penalty, carries Bst 91b, and Make Haste Bst. All things consi dered, I take the four year old with Bst up as about the correct thing, and therefore award the race to Make Haste or Hobart.. The Croome Produce Stakes will be carried off by Pibroch, and the Coventry Stakes by Sunlight. High Church will win tht Mottisfont Stakes, and Sun light or Sunshine the Troy Stakes ; Cock of the Walk the Hurstbourne Cup, and Dunbar the Tenth Biennial. A FEES LI MAN. 'IXTURES.

Ho should also move thit the house should during the committee of the bill sit on Wednesdays. A rather angry discussion ensued, In which Earl Gm y protested against any incidental discussion of his amend ment. Earl GRANVILLE slid he would see how far it was possible to meet the suggestion of the noble earl with re spect to the Wednesday's sitting, and wothl state the re sult further on in the week.

The Home Secretary of State for the Home Department supported the bill, which he thought provided a better means of improving the con dition of the parishioners and the poor in that neighbour hood than the re-erection of the church in another part of the parish.

GRAY asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether his attention had been called to a a letter which had been Published in Irish Conservative newspapers, which was written by an hon. member of that houst-, and dated from the House of Commons, in which the Orangetnen of Ireland were called upon to turn out "everywhere," on the coming 12th of Jrly, to assemble in their tens cf thou sands, iu order to celebrate the glorious triumphs of the past. He wished to know whether the Government in tended to take steps to preserve the peace of the count y on the occasion ? Colonel S. KNOX was ablut to address the house on the part of his hon. friend who had penned the letter, but he was met by loud cries of " Order, order," amidst whTch he sat down. .11r. C. FORTES= said the at tent:on of the Govern ment I.al lecu called io the ;enter, and he could only say he had read it with deep regret. It had rtuf,rtuna'e7y been the unhappy duty of the Government to stud certain trovs to portions of Ireland to preserve the peace on the 12th of July, and it was never more incumbent on the Government than to du so this year— (loud cries of "Hear, hear," from the Opposition)—aud a duty, he assured the house, should be performed to the utmost.
