The Foreign Stock Market is firmer, and busi ness on the whole is more active. Egyptian Seven Cet.t3. (1864), is 3 higher, at 88 to 89 ; Danu bian Seven per Cents, is alzo 1 b Ater, at 79 to 80 ; and Italian Five p:2r Cents., /, at 561 to 561. Spanish New Three per Cents are a shade Niger, at 2911 to 291; and Turkish Five per Cents. (1865) are inquired for at 444 to 441. The variations to-day in English railways in clude a rise of 1 in London and South Western, and 4 in Caledonian and Lancashire and York shire; and also a fall of 4 in Great Northern, and 1 in Great Eastern, Chatham and Dover, and South Eastern. Continental railway shares are steady. Lombardo- Venetian is marked at 201 and Great Luxemburg at 101 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 32i ; Oriental, 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 801 to BC-1 ; Erie Shares, 20 to 20f, and Illinois are firm at 041 to 95k. A sum of £52,000 in bar gold WAS sent into the Bank on Saturday. The Ma3silia, from Alexandria, hag brought £162,000 in Australian gold, and the Queen Bee, from Auckland, £20,000. It is understood that Mexican dollars to the value of about £720,000 had arrived at Vera Cruz when the last advices left, and 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 cut. The report of the Assam Company for the year ending 31st December last has been issued. It states that the estimated result of the year's opera tions exhibits a trifling profit, and that the esti mates for 1869 are sufficiently favourable to justify the directors iu proposing an interim dividend of 2i per cent. on the paid-up capital. Vice-Chancellor Malius has appointed the 12th of July to settle the list of coatributori!s of the Aberdare Merthyr Steam Coal Company, L'ruited, creditors •of which are required to send in the par ticulars of their claims by the 10th of this mouth to 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 interests of the property, and making the ma nagement responsible for their late conduct. The committee are highly respectable, and a subscription of ls. per share, it is thought, will be suflieient•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 mouths of the financial year, terminating April 30, 1869, show very satisfactory results, the receipts indi cating a perceptible improvement on the usual winter revenue. The course taken 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 forced upon tile directors by the want of sufficient working capital. The amount standing to the debit of the Dulwich Wood eat de has been brought within very small limits, while the ground rents will in a short time cover the amount of rent payable to the College. The report alludes to a rezolution which will be proposed at the approaching meeting to the effect that no money be hereafter borrowed for the purpose 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 assts valued at £23,353. A committee of five was ap pointed to investigate the accounts. The suspension is announced of Messrs. Sutcliffe and Holliorake, 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 completed during the present season. FUNDS—TWO O'CLOCK. GOVERNMENT rUNDS. 3 peCent. Consols Ditto for Account, July 7 3 per Cent.

Account, July 7 THE FLOODING OF FERNDALE COLLIERY 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 pressure of 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 nonexplosive; 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 et last determined to flood the woi king. Nearly 1,000 yards of iron ppes were procured from Birmingham. Immediately on their arrival they were put together, and having been connected with large storage reservoirs, were conducted down the shaft and al.,ng the undulating floor of the workings to the part where the fire raged. It was then found to be impossible to penetrate the turf Avall, 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 hot 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 cafe, however, this may be done without mishap. THE WAR IN _NEW ZEAL AAD. News from the West Coast of New Zealand down to the nth of A Aril represents the war in that part of the island as nearly terminated. A hunt 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 pall 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 pall. 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 " To has 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 takes the oath of allegiance ; and it has shewn that no stronghold can save Tito Kowaru'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 Til perary on Friday on the charge of having in his poses sion a treasc liable letter. The Queen, according to present arrangements, will leave Windsor for Osborne on the Bth or tith of July, and in about six weeks will return to Windsor Castle for one night only, en route for Scotland. The Prince and Princess Christian will accompany her Majf.sty to Obborno 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 employmefit 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."

Gladstone, th e L or d Chancellor, Earl de Grey and Ripon, the E ar l of Kimberley, the Right Hon. H. A. Bruce, the Earl of Clarendon, Earl Granville, the Right Hon. E.

April and ()et )j0 10J 110 111$ SPIRIT Cr TEE PUET IC JOURNALS, The 7ime3 observes that there are many reasons why , 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 znittee on the bill. Many of the peers who supported the second reading did so with the avowed intention of intro clueing or supporting- amendments at the proper stage, and would have hesitated to vote for the bill—perhaps would have voted against it—had they not believed they bad 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 upon its principle, no attempt to introduce amend. merits which are incompatible with its leading idea, and, on the other band, 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 Salielarry that the degree of disendom meat is open to discussion ; but, whether it be severe and sweeping or 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 gleLes 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 Lipper 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 m Lich cannot provide for their own. Without some such fund, it is the belief of well-informed and unprejudiced persons that Protestantism would ere long be eNtirputed 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 but equality, not pri vilege but freedom, not supremacy but sa'ety. It is no longer a question whether Pro!eiitautisui shall prevail in Ire!and, but whether it shall be tolerated; nut s het her we shall allow equality to the Roman Catholics, but whether we shall subj,ct the Protestants to disadvantages which must end in establishing the ascendancy of Rome. 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 n country ; and certainly most weather .prophets de s-Awe 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 he 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. lie declared that "on the "25th of May we should settle down into a summer 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, cold 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 Las 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 i 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 bas 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 iu 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'lndependant des Pyrenees Orientale reperts a great scandal. During the performance of mass it is stated that the Vicar of Candies de St. Faul killed his curate in a manner and for motives which are not yet reported. THE LATE NOTTINGHAM ELECTION. Ward meetings are icing 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. lf, 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 is 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 tile influence exercised by Lady Clifton is favour of Ur, Seyincurs FORTiNG IN TELLLIENCE I —This Da LONDON 13ETTING.—THIS DAY.

(Snowden), King's Cross (Osborne), the Spy (Morris), Minster Bell (Hudson), Mexico (Cradock), Russian Bear (Wy att), the Hind or Number Nip (M‘Ewen), Porn frett (Platt), Emerald (Mordan), and Myosotis : :(llunt). Tabuuret looks as nearly " dead" for the great event as Bracken, The Drummer, St. Mango, and Crocus, who are all scratched, after seeing 6 to 1, or less, in the market. Three per Cent, has also gone to the bad since he touched the same rate of odds, the report being that ho has been " beaten in his trial" by the bookmakers' 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 Middlelutur men do not fancy either, or Mexico or Minster Bell, so much as they do M)osotis, who disappointed his owner twice at Chester, and is yet trusted again with a power of money. The Hind'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 Freemen's Nursery Handiettp looks well for Siege Train or Eskdale, and the Seaton Delaval Stakes flawkhead or Divulger ought to win. The Eleventh Biennial, at Stockbridge, for 2-year •olde, pos:Ably attract the attendance of the Saxon ; and if all is true that has been said about hiui the result of the rant is not a doubtful question, but there is a little difficulty to Le encountered by meeting High Church iu the coot st. Tha S:oclsbridge Cup lit:s a good entry ; sl, or !wally all, the great guns go for it; and as Knight of the Carter only carries vX;Ia for winning the Cup la ,4 year, he uo doubt will think uotaing of the p teal y. Sunshine will carri off the Champagne Stak , s, makes an appe:tranc.. The Beaufwt Use-- die ip Its fwirt NM left in, the top weight being Paul Jones, 41yrs, Bet l2ib. Cock of the Walk, inAuding his penalty, carries Bit 9.b, and Make Haste _•;st. All things consi dered, I take tha four year old with Fst up as about the correct thing, an I therefore award the race to Make Haste or Hobart. Tie., Croons Produce Stakes will be ca,ried off by Pibroch, and the Coventry Stakes by Sunlight. High Church will win the Mottbsfout Stakes, and Sun light or Sunshine the Troy Stakes; Cock of the Walk the Hurstbourne Cup, and Dunbar the Tenth Biennial. A FEE6II MAN. MET RUPUL I TAN FIRES. Since Saturday morning uatil six. o'clock this (Monday) morning, 11 fires took place in the me tropolitan district, among those in addition to those already reported, was one at Nos. 95 and 96, Cambridge-road, belonging to Messrs.

Another fire took place at 7 A, Iligh-ereet, Ken sington, belonging to Mr. Hamlin, also a furniture dealer, which could nut be conquered until the warehouse and upper part of the building were severely burned—lnsured in the County Fire-office. Origin of fire unknown. A fire which was nearly attended with disastrous results, took place in the premises of Messrs. Nobbs and sons, boot-makers, situate in Mason's-avenue, Coleman-street, City, which also did considerable damage to the building and contents. This fire was caused by the swinging of a gas bracket.

Some of the boats have lauded at Yarmouth as many as 1,600 fish each. Prices have ranged at Great Yarmouth at 185. to 245. per 120 fish. The deliveries of mackerel made at Lowestoft have ranged from 1,000 to 3,000 fish each. One day as many as 107,000 fish were landed at Lowestoft. Rico Glasses, byVoigtlander, are now Ho logger the ex clusive luxury of the rich. 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 sonic, 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 Callaghan, 23a, New Bond-street, corner of Conduit-street, the patrons of the Derby may indulge their taste in the poss ess i on o f a ver i ta bl e Voigtliinder at comparatively trifling cost. It is superfluous to say the quality is as ever matchless. 111 r. Pullman, the palace car man, is about to start from Chicago with two of his best cars, one for sleeping and one fcr eating, and a select party of guests, for a rapid trip to San Francisco and back. Mr. Crocker, the super intendent and constructor of the California end of the Pacific Railroad, Mr. Simonton, of the New York Asso ciated Press, and Mr. Waite, of the New York Drovoort Douse, are among the party.
