The sum of £25,000 in sovereigns from South America was taken to the Bank yesterday, making a total of £125,000 in the week since the return. A prospectus has been issued of the Anglo-Ger 'llan Steamboat Company to establish a line of steamers between Hamburg and Harwich, commu nicating with London by the Great Eastern Rail .waY• The proposed capital is £150,000 (in shares of £100), half of which is offered for subscription in London. The time from London to Hamburg, via Harwich, will, it is said, be 26 hours, against 3 7 hours by the existing steamers, and the trade, especially in live stock, is represented as capable of great development. The tender s f or the £500,000 City Bonds, bearin g 44. per cent. interest, offered for sub scription at par on account of the Holborn Valley treprovetnents, amounted to about a million and a quarter. The allotment to each applicant will therefore be at the rate of about 40 per cent. of the Stun asked. The Va rna R a il way C ompan y ha v e received official intimation that the Turkish Government have sanctioned the payment of the guarantee Pon the ca pit a l ac t ua ll y expen d e d, leaving to arbi tration the question whether the Porte is liable f or the guarantee upon the whole of the nominal capital, thereby confirming the statements made at_ the gene ra l mee ti ng of shareholders on the 30th the secretary at Constantinople. It is understood that the expenditure has exceeded the nominal capital. The speech of the King of Prussia at the open 'ng of the Chambers is pacific. At the same time, the allusion to the failure of the recent financial measures and the necessity of increased taxation Point to the probable introduction of a new loan. The credit of Prussia is satisfactory, and the Go vernment would be able to raise money on terms far from onerous. st. :lhe pri vate t e l egrams rece i v ed in ,the City from ,rain are o f the most unfavourable character. Ahere seems to be no doubt that the Government ie P l aced in a most critical position, and that it will require great energy and activity to repress the revolutionary movement. Several of the Republi can Deputies have gone to the provinces to raise the m, with the view of eventually enlisting the IYinpathies of the inhabitants of Madrid. Alto gether the condition of the authorities is anything Out encouraging. T he tenders for £200,000 in bills have been re e,l7ed at the Bank of England, the amounts allotted is to Calcutta, £132,000, and to Madras : B : °° ° ; the minimum price was fixed as before 18 ' lid, on both Presidencies ; and tenders at a : 1 ; will receive about 10 per cent.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A WISH GRATIFIED.— Charles Hall, a tall, gentlemanly looking man, who gave no address, was charged as fol lows:--From the evidence of Poach and Bramall, two constables of the C Division, it appeared that the prisoner last night was in the Haymarket drunk and quarrel ling with some cabmen, and afterwards with some prosti tutes, and on being requested to go away ho struck both constables, and pushed Portch against the shutters, at the same time saying he wished to be locked up. Inspector Higgins said the prisoner had been a great deal of trouble to the police,,and had followed him about, saying he wished to be locked up. The prisoner said he knew nothing about the matter, as he was " screwy" at the time. - - • Mr. Knox said the police must be protected, and the pri soner would have to pay £5 or a month. WESTMINSTER. THE HABITUAL CRIMINALS ACT.— Frederick May and John Costello, two youths, were charged with frequent ing the Brompton-road with intent to commit a felony. A police constable said that last night he was informed by a gentleman that the prisoners and two others had at tempted to steal a bed from a broker's shop, and had also touched other things. The witness watched them, and they were loitering about and conducting themselves in so suspicious a way as to induce him to apprehend them. Mr. Selfe asked what was known of the prisoners? The police replied that May had been convicted of bur glary, and had only just been released from confinement after undergoing his period of imprisonment; and Costello had been twice convicted and sent for throe years to a re formatory. May said he got his living by caneing chairs in the streets, and Costello that he had done some rivetting work on the railway. They pleaded that the policeman did not see them attempt to do anything. The police said that they were associated with a gang of five or six more notorious thieves. The sister of May was called in his defence, but ad mitted that he had formed some fresh acquaintances, or renewed some old ones. Mr. Selfe said that this was the very sort of case con templated by the new act, and he should commit the ac cused for three months. THREAENING TO MURDER MR. ARNOLD, THE POLICE MAGISTRATE.-Arthur Brown, a foreigner, between 30 and 40 years of age, was re-examined before Mr. Selfe, charged with sending letters to Thomas James Arnold, Esq., one of the magistrates of this court, threatening to murder him, and demanding money. Prisoner, who denied that he had written the threaten ing letter, was fully committed for trial. THAMES. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—Jamr , s Burke, a tall, gloomy looking fellow, was brought up on remand, charged with swallowing poison on the banks of the river Lea. It appeared that the prisoner procured a bottle of phos phor paste, which he scooped out with a knife, and to the disgust and mortification of the bystanders appeared to enjoy the nauseous doses until he had nearly emptied the bottle, when he said "this is the last dose," and soon after wards fell on the banks of the river insensible. The chaplain of the Clerkenwell House of Detention, where the prisoner had been confined a week, said he was perfectly sensible of his folly, and repented of his rash conduct. The prisoner's wife, a neat and tidy little woman, said her husband could not stand much drink, that he had suffered great agony since he had swallowed the poison, and that she would take care of him in future. The prisoner was discharged, and delivered over to the care of his wife. PRICE OF GOLD. The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and t le short exchange on London is 251. 1.5 c. per LI sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of l'ai.loid. per ounce for standard gold, It appears that gold at the above price is slightly dearer in Paris than in Lou don. The course of exchange at Nev York on London for bills at CO days' sight was inn per cent. on the 20th inst. At this rate there would be a loss on the transm ission of gold from the United t otos. The very extensive Distillery now being erected at Belfast, with all recent improvements for the manufacture of Irish whisky, by 51 essrs. DUN VILLE & Co., who have gained a world-wide celebrity for their fine old Irish whisky, is to be called "The Royal Irish Distillery." HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE. MORNING. EVENING.

April and Oct _LW , 114 115 1111 - APL 1 - IT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS, Ato one can say, observes the Times, what the groat political game of tho'Berlin Cabinet may be at the present moment. All that the world knows is that between the - Prussian King and the Kaiser there has been an inter. change of civilities-,--on the occasion of the projected visit of the Crown Prince of Prussia to Vienna on his way to the East, and that a cordial understanding has been established between the two Courts—a result, as it seems, which has been obtained in obedience to the sug gestions of Count Bismarck, and somewhat in defiance of the views and tendencies of that statch partisan of the Austro-French alliance, the Imperial Chancello? Count von Beust. Could the mutual goodwill of the two Courts lead to intimate relations between the two Cabinets, the affairs of all Europe, t well as those of Germany, would be placed on so diCerent a footing from that on which they have been for the last three years that the attitude of the minor States of the old or now German Bund would become matter of very little consequence. Doubtless Austria has all to gain frem this change in her policy; for, as we have pointed out in a hundred instances, her tendencies are all to the Eastward, and, in order to hold her own on the Danube, she need rely on the friendship of the Power with which she has too long and too vainly contended for supremacy on the Rhine. It is not equally easy to foresee what consequences a renewed intimacy between the Berlin and the Vienna Governments would have upon the internal affairs of Ger many, and especially of those districts which aro now bound to Prussia by the ties of the Northern Confederacy. The Liberal party, which already displayed sufficient strength before the Danish and Bohemian wars to cause the Court serious apprehension, has found very extensive support both in the districts ncwlyannexedto the Prussian Monarchy and the States admitted into the Northern Confederation. The stronger the impulse towards national unity waxes, the wider becomes the sphere of the relations between Prussia and the rest of Germany, the fainter grows the hopes of the Court party at Berlin being able to stem the Liberal eurrent that is setting in against it.'KingWilliam is no longer what he was, the wealthiest of European Monarchs. his glorious conquests have run through the bulk of his long-hoarded treasure, and, in order to pay his way, he has now to compound with those who have the national purse-strings in their keeping. It is refreshing, says the Daily News, to meet Lord Stanley once more on fields clear of those party entangle ments in which he has of late strayed and lost himself. He is most at hole in the treatment of those social and industrial questions which professed statesmen usually shun. He ought to be perpetual President of the Social Science Association. Tho topics which are a weariness and vexation of the spirit to other fnen, are his refresh ment and delight ; and though not a speaker or thinker of particular fire or animation, he is in some sort inspired by topice which have the effect of making genius dull, and of extinguishing brilliancy. Lord Stanley admits, with a candour which is not common in men of his order, both the right of working men to com bine, and the interest they have in doing so, since it is only by union that they can meet their employers on equal terms. Of course, it is possible for men to exercise an undoubted right unfairly, and to judge of their own interests unwisely. But this is a liability which is not peculiar to Trade Societies. On the subject of co-opiTation Lord Stanley spoke with no less wisdom. In the matter of wages, the skilled artisan, he said, has perhaps little to complain of. "But," as he urges, " man does not live by bread alone." Lord Stanley is not a Quixotic or Utopian statesman, and thesC words on his lips may convince some sceptics that the schemes and enter prises which they have been in the habit of regarding as idle dreams have in them an element of solid realities. The Star thinks Lord Stanley has seldom done himself more credit that in the speech on trades unionism which he has just delivered at Liverpool. It has been too much the fashion to assume that, though the law allowed combi nation, it was economically bad. Lord Stanley will get a respectful hearing from working men, because he sets out with the assertion that to combine is a moral right, since only in union can the workmen meet the masters on terms of equality. The truth had better be understood, that the workman who stands out from combinations is, as a rule, a poor workman and a poor creature. Even sneaks have liberties, and a man does not lose the legal privileges of a citizen by attempting, under a mistaken impression of his own petty advantage, to betray the order with whose demands, if righteous, he ought to make common cause. By all means let him be protected. On no account let him suffer, except as a man must suffer who lives without public spirit in mean isolation. But let us have no special expressions of sympathy for him. And let us all distinctly perceive that when society in general has intelligently adopted Lord Stanley's enlightened opinion on this subject, the non-unionists will be few. There will be no social temptation either to eschew unions on the one hand, or to wrest their power to an im proper use on the other, when every ono recognises their necessity and propriety, and when masters in consequence learn to meet them and negotiate with them without making wry facos or inspiring lugubrious newspaper leaders. The Standard says that Roman Catholics and Dissenters of every grade may assemble in conference without provoking a word of disapprobation, but the moment there is a sign of united action among Churchmen the old mani festations of jealousy and affectations of contempt are witnessed. It i s assume d th a t th ere is some sinister design on foot for asserting the ascendancy of the Esta blished Church, and it is insinuated that well-meaning laymen are hoodwinked into giving their countenance to a conspiracy for advancing ecclesiastical ambition, or what are unmeaningly designated " priestly assumptions." Strictly speaking the Congress is a purely consultative body. It cannot legislate, and does not even pre t en d t o i n i t i ate legislation. Its chief valu e i s th a t b y b r i ng i ng together clergymen and laymen of all shades of opinion, and setting before them for discussion the practical difficulties and needs of the Church, it develops into active expression the public opinion of the Church. Isolation has an inevitable tendency to produce one-sidedness and narrow-mindedness. A clergyman buried in a country parsonage insensibly falls into a particular groove. He has but one way of thinking upon every problem which presents itself to his notice either in the domain of Church politics or in the details 6i Church work, and thus he becomes " cliquish " and wended to party, and therefore intolerant. There is nothing like an open congress for clearing away the cobwebs which too often enmesh a clergyman under these circum stances. He has been "too much alone." He has been breathing his own atmosphere for months, and at a congress he comes out into the free air. He meets hundreds of men whose aims are as pure and generous as his own, but who differ from him toto celo as to the mode in which they may best be advanced. They exchange views, and the result is a modification of opinions and a rapprochement on both sides. High, Low, and Broad assemble together, and find to their astonishment that, with all their differences, they have many points of union and hold many opinions in common. They compare notes upon their parochial work, the management of schools, the direction of works of charity, and find that each can teach the other somewhat, that each has something in his store which was worth bringing to the light for the benefit of the common fund. The Telegraph thinks it may be confidently expected that the action which the Privy Council Office is taking with regard to the sufferings of cattle in transit by sea and land will result in the abolition of a terrible amount of animal pain, and will at the same time insensibly instil new ideas of humanity into the community. An interesting conference was held upon this subject on Tuesday morning between the Central Chamber of Agriculture which has its sittings at the Salisbury Hotel, Fleet street„ and a professional representative of "the Transit of Animals Committee," Professor Brown. As embodying the opinion of the farming and grazing inte rests the practical conclusions o f suc h a Chamber could not fail to be useful ; so that the committee was well advised in thus expressing its convictions. The last reso lution of the Central Chamber of Agriculture covers all the ground, but leaves the committee to decide what new regulations shall be laid down. No doubt we want a sys tem, as they say, of licensing and inspecting, in order to put matters right, and make our cattle traffic mer ciful. Although we are confronted with the question of expense and of trade profits, that difficulty cannot be allowed to paralyse the action of the Government, or prevent us from putting an end to the unnecessary sufferings of our "poor relations," who must die that we may live. The credit of the genera,- tion is concerned in the question; for it would b 2, shame ful if, now that the wretchedness of the victirls has been made known, the same perpetual course a half-conscious barbarity should continue. To diminish pain is to narrow the domain of evil, and if the authorities were to enforce such regulations as we have specified, not only would the " lower creatures " suffer loss pain, but men would be less brutalised. The Post has not the slighest wish to dispute the pro priety of educating the agricultural labourer. Even if it failed to raise his wages, or to put an end to the system, wherever it prevails, of paying them partly in beer or cider, it could hardly fail to elevate his sense of what is due to himself and to his family. No one can be indifferent to the picture which Canon Girdlestone draws of the farm servant so raised from a comparatively degraded position as to be able to command better wages, to make his earnings go further by becoming a member of a co-operative store, did to invest them in the Post- office Savings Bank rather than in the public-house. These are consummations so devoutly to be wished—m9re particularly the last—that we would gladly believe that the instruction of the rising generation of field labourers is the only thing necessary to effect them. We confess we doubt this. We suspect also that the ignorance of the agri cultural labourer is somewhat overrated. Is it possible that we must wait till we have buried the existing generation Lefore we can hope to have agricultural labourers capable of understanding the benefits of a co-operative store ? If not, why should not an effort be made to establish such stores? There is barely no ploughman in England who incapable of appreciating the advantage of getting what he eats and drinks and the clothes he wears at cost price, instead of paying fifty per cent. more than the value of what he buys at present. Education is a good thing, but it is possible to overrate it. Besides, what better educa tion could there be than n raft!) which, by making the labourer's wages go further than hitherto, would enable him to invest in the savings bank instead of the public house? Teach reading and writing by all means. But the co-operative store may be brought to bear fruit in a few weeks. For the harvest of cducation w o shall have to wait Or vim, ORDINARY SHARKS AND STOCKS. - Paid. Closing Business dens.

Sir Benjamin Phillips presented a memorial from the Board of Works, who have just completed the new street near the Mansioa-house ; asking the assent of the court to a proposal to extend the Metropolitan District Railway to the Mansion-house by putting a station at the top of the new thoroughfare close to the civic residence of the Lord Mayor, and also constructing a subway therefrom to the Royal Ex change. The proposal, he said, had been highly approved of by the leading firms in the City. Sir William Rose said the proposal was mon strous, and ;one that would not be for the public service. He contended that the board had no power to come to the court with such a memorial, and therefore he moved an amendment in the shape of a direct negative. Mr. De Jersey supported the amendment. He said the Board of Works were, in this matter, interfering with a matter with which they had no right, and the proposition, which embraced two open cuttings in front of the Royal Exchange, was one which he felt sure would never receive the sanction of the court. The board were now en deavouring to thrust themselves into city manage ment, a matter that was not at all desirable. A stormy discussion ensued, but on a show of hands the amendment was carried. The " important " communication of the Lord Mayor to the Court on the subject of the opening of the Holborn Viaduct and Blackfriars Bridge was made with closed doors. PARIS CORRESPONDENCE. WEDNESDAY. The Council of Ministers met to-day at St. Cloud. It was said that the subject of their deliberations was the work that lay before the Chambers in December; but it is more likely that the Ministers were consulting as to the measures they should take in presence of a unanimous protestation from the Democratic party. They have been much concerned at the excitement caused in Paris by the publication of the unfortunate decree. The Ministers aro in a fresh difficulty, and the subject is uo less a one than the Paris elections. I have already told you that the date originally fixed was the 7th of Novem ber, which would add the electoral excitement to the threa tened demonstration of the 26th. Becoming conscious of this danger, the Ministers have, it is said, determined to postpone the elections until after the opening of the session, but with the fatal hesitation which now characterises all the movements of the Cabinet of the Tuileries, they are unable to decide upon the date. The Siecle, which positively affirmed that the 7th November was the date fixed, now says the Go vernment have changed their minds. The Liberti satirically observes that they do this ten times a day. Henri Roche fort is to be one of the candidates for Paris. He has replied to an appeal from 223 electors, saying that hitherto he thought his role was rather in the streets than in the Corps Legislatif, but that the argurients of the electors have convinced him to the contrary. He will do his duty in the Chambers, hoping soon to do it in the Convention. He will stand for the first circumscription. M. Raspail has written to the Reforme, reiterating his intention of being at his post on the 26th. M. Jules Ferry has addressed a letter to the Siecle, calling upon the deputies fora collective manifestation. The Siecle remarks that five depu ties, representing different sections of the Opposition, have now declared that they will present' themselves at their posts on the Nth, but the people of Paris will, it hopes, abstain from joining them. The language of the irrecon cileables is not altogether encouraging. The Reveil charges the people to be prudent and calm, but at the same time it declares that the strength of public opinion surpasses that of the crises of 1829 and 1847, and that France must herself reply to the question, Shall the issue be liberty or a return to the Dictatorship of 1851? The Journal des _Dehats very justly observes that the original fault of the Government was in not having boldly and frankly passed from personal to parliamentary government. It begins to be seriously doubted in France whether the transition is to take place at all. There is some talk of a meeting of the 116 in the early days of November, at which the selection of the President of the Corps Legislatif is to be discussed. M. Schneider, I hear, has the best chance. The Gaulois now declares that the Empress will not go to Jerusalem after all, on account of a communication she has received from M. do la Tour d'Auvergne to the effect that political difficulties are in the way of the accomplishment of such a project. Yesterday the Emperor paid a visit to the Parisians. He was in an open caleche, without escort. He stopped before the 'new opera-howase, and examined M. Carpeaux's group attentively for some minutes, during which time a considerable crowd assembled in the place. Accordin to the Libertg, it is affirmed in diplomatic circles that the Emperor had thought at one time of sending the Duc de Blouchy as ambassador to St. Petersburgh, and that it was only by the advice of M. de la Tour d'Auvergne that he changed his plans. If this be the case the appointment of General Fleury will lose a great deal of the importance which has been attributed to it. A contradiction has been given to the report that Father Hyacinthe intends to start a paper. As for his interview with the Bishop of Orleans, it has taken place, but was not a very cordial one, as might have been supposed. All that concerns the Pantin murder still continues to excite the great interest, and public curiosity will not be set at rest until the mystery has been unravelled. The Journal de Roubaix says that an important discovery has been made among the papers that were left by the Kinck family in the town. In the pages of a copybook that belonged to one of the children there was a German letter, signed " Trauppmann," which traced out the course that the elder Kinck was to take in proceeding from Roubaix to Alsace. Trauppmann promises to meet him at the station of Guebwiller on the 25th of August. There seems, there fore, little doubt that the father was murdered somewhere in the town, and the space for the search has been circum scribed. It is expected that Trauppmann will shortly make a confession of his crime. The news concerning the strikes in the Loire district is very unsatisfactory, and the stoppage of work seems to be assuming dangerous proportions. It has been said that these strikss have been encouraged by certain persons for political ends, and that there is something significant in their present prevalence.

RocnEFon . r.—Rochefort has written to the papers to state that during the late election riots he was in Paris two days. This piece of news must be very gratify ing to the French police, who pique themselves on being the best detectives on the face of the globe. SCENE IN A TIAREM.—A disgraceful scene occurred a short time ago in a pasha's harem at Erajevo, in Bosnia. The pasha, though a Mussulman, was known to have a great fondness for the bottle, and in one of his drunken fits he beat his wives so unmercifully that the whole town was roused by their screams, and the police had to interfere. During the disturbance ono of the pasha's wives escaped to the Russian consulate, but she was given up next day, and it is supposed that she has been mur dered, as nothing more has been heard of her. THE ANIMAL WORLD.—It has often been said with truth that a great part of the cruelty which is prac tised among us is due not so much to actual evil intention as to ignorance and want of thought. Miss Burdett Coutts's suggestions on this subject are still fresh in the recollection f the public, and it will be remembered that Mr. Colarn, the secretary of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty : , 0 Animals, lately announced that the committee had determined to issue a monthly illustrated paper for circu lation among the young. Such a paper has been found to do good service in the cause of humanity in the United States, and it is to be hoped it will be equally successful cmong ourselves. Judging from the first number of The Animal Kingdom, which is now before us, it is likely FIRES IN LONDON.—The only fire of any mag to have a large circulation among readers of all uitude reported by Captain Shaw to-day is one that oc ages.
