The Stock Exchange was closed to-day, the Ist of May being one of the half-yearly days for the closing of the transfer offices at the Bank. There were no gold operations at the Bank yes terday. The Crown agents for the colonies have invited tenders on Thursday, the 13th, for £lOO,OOO Mau ritius Government 6 per Cent. Debentures, with in terest commencing from the 15th of May. They are for public works, and are to be redeemed on the Ist of July, 1878, by the operation of a sinking f und. Ten per cent. of the purchase money is to be paid on allotment, and the balance on the 25th , of May. The sum previously borrowed by the co lony is £1,000,000. Messrs. llottingua., Fould, and other Paris firms and establishments have contracted with the City of Paris for an issue of 755,000 Obligations at 545 f., bearing 12f. interest, repayable at 400 f. within 40 years, and have lottery prizes attached amounting annually to one million francs. In the colonial produce markets this week there has been no improvement, and prices in several in stances are lower than on Friday last. The Credit Foncier of Mauritius have received a telegram, dated the 10th of April, stating that the crop is safe, that the annuities due to the company are well paid, and that the general condition of the island is satisfactory. At the meeting of tha Great Central Gas Con sumers' Company—the concern rendered so noto rious by Benjamin Higgs' enormous embezzlements ---the directors' report was adopted, an amendment for a committee of inquiry being lost. The retiring directors, Alderman Dakin, Sir T. Gabriel, and Mr. Austin, were re-elected, and it was resolved that three shareholders shall be added to the board. The Proceedings passed off much more quietly than was expected. Advices from Bradford announce the suspension of Messrs. Whiteley and Brough, manufacturers, with liabilities amounting to about £lO,OOO. A special meeting of the Midland Railway Com• pang will be held on the 18th of May, to consider certain bills now pending in Parliament, and to authorise the directors to borrow money to the extent of £874,353. It is stated that the prospectus of a new com- Pany for transacting guarantee and accident busi ness will appear in a few days. Advices from Athens state that the Greek Go vernment have issued a decree reducing the amount of their loan from the two Banks from 21 ,000,000 drachmas (£750,000) to 12,000,000 (£ 4 88,570.) The share of the lonian Bank is 4 , 0 00,000 drachmas, or £142,850. The issue of bank -notes by legal tender by the two Banks is re duced from 48,000,000 drachmas (£1,714,300) to 39,000,000 drachmas (£1,392,850). The share in the power of issue of the lonian Bank is 9,000,000 drachmas, or £321,430. The liquidators of the Scinde, Punjab, and Delhi Bank Corporation (Limited), have issued their re- Port for the past year. They state that the returns already made to the shareholders amount in the aggregate to £262,493, or £6 12s. 61 per £lO paid share and £1 12s. 6d. per £5 paid share ; that their Original estimate of the returns were £6 14s. and £1 14s. per share of £lO and £5 respectively ; and that there is no reason to doubt that more than sufficient will be collected to insure a fourth return of £1 ss. per share, which would only require the awn of £3,459. The subway from the Tower to Southwark is now advancing at the rate of 9ft. per day, and the con tractor expects to reach the shaft on the Southwark side in less than five months.

Account, May 6 ll3l I CENDIArIS f The unmoor of cotton and other mills that have recently been burnt down in Lancashire and the surrounding district has already called forth remark. It is especially singular that these fires should tako p'aro just during a time when the re!ations between master and men are so unsatisfactory. The strikes perhaps have more to do with the fires than was at first thought. The Manchester Courier reports that a fire broke out on Thursday morning at a mill at Stockport, and suspicion being aroused by a number of spent lucifer matches in various parts of the room, search was made,and it was discovered that matches had been placed upon the teeth of the drums of the carding engines, so that when the machine was sot in motion the cotton would catch fire. Tho mill had been closed for two days, and as only one carding engine was worked on this occasion, the fire was kept under. On Saturday a similarly suspicious fire broke out at another mill in the district. A DEMENTED CLERGYMAN. On Thursday (says the Manchester Courier) the Rev. W. A. O'Connor, rector of St. Simon's and St. Jude's, Manchester, appeared before the magistrates at the City Police-court in the character of a defendant. A few days ago Mr. O'Connor applied to the magistrates for advice. He alleged that he was being sorely persecuted, and mentioned certain names. The magistrates declined to advise him. On Wednes'lay he went to a reading-room in connnection with the fhop of Messrs. Hale and Roworth, booksellers, Cross-street, and which is frequented by clergymen. He was under the impression that he was suspected of stealing books, and he noticed that a boy remained in the reading-room during the time he was there. This excited him, and in the presence of Mr. Hale, an assistant, he pulled the boy's ear, and then asked Mr. Hale to summon him for the assault. Mr. Hale said he would not do so, and Mr. O'Connor, apparently determined to have the supposed allegations against him investigated, asked the assistant if he would summon him if he assaulted him. The assistant re plied that he would not, and then the rev. gentleman, who was very much excited, said he would await the arrival of Mr. Roworth, and assault him. Captain Paliu was sent for, and he, after an interview with the rev. gentleman, and after having had him examined by Drs. Wilkinson and Roberts, locked him up. On Thursday Mr. O'Connor was taken before the magistrates, and the above circumstances were proved, the assistant admitting in his evidence that it was not usual for the boy to remain . .n the reading-room when visitors were there. The magistrates then retired, and had a private interview with the rev, defendant, declining to allow his friends to be present. Mr. O'Connor returned into court in about a quarter of an hour, but the magistrates remained in ...:onsultation for about two hours, at the expiration of which time it was communicated to the reporters that the magistrates would not give any decision in court, and that, as there were some obstacles in the way of binding Mr. O'Connor over to keep the peace, they felt, under all the circumstances, that they had no other alternative than to send him to a lunatic asylum. PARLIAMENTARY AND MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS. The Committee on rarliamentary and Municipal Elec tions reassembled on Friday, the Marquis of Hartington in the chair. Mr. Burton, of Gravesend, chairman of the Conservative Committee, the first witness called, gave come evidence to the effect that intimidation prevailed at the last parliamentary election for the county. A great zany voters were prevented from going to the poll. Major Bush, Bristol examined by Mr. Ward Hunt, said that at the municipal elections there was little, if any, bribery or undue influence; but there was some, though not much, treating. At the parliamentary elections there was a certain amount of bribery, persons being em ployed as canvassers and messengers simply for the purpose of securing their votes. Treating was also exten- sive, consisting of opening public-houses and holding tea. meetings. At the last election there was an organised system of intimidation. Large mobs were hired, who went from one polling booth to another. It wa4 currently stated in Bristol that these mobs were paid some days after the election by two persons connected with the Reform League. Had been informed that it was arranged that if the Liberals were not well ahead at nine o'clock on the day of the election, these "flying lolunms" were to be let loose. Thirty or forty of the rioters were convicted after the election. The mobs he had referred to were paid at a public-house in Broad Mead, and the police had to be called in to keep order during the operation. By Mr. Villiers : The snobs were composed to a large ►xtent of persons strangers to the city. If there was any doting on the part of the Conservatives it was late in the day, and was by way of retaliation. In the after. noon there was a general disturbance. To The O'Connor Don the witness said the mobs were armed with bludgeons. A stone, weighing four pounds and a half, was thrown through the window of one of the Conservative committee rooms, and struck a gentle. man who was sitting there. Believed that at a public meeting held by the Liberals a week prior to the election, it was substantially proposed that the polling-booths should be taken possession of by mobs. By Mr. Leatham : The mob of which witness took most notice, though numbering only 300, was, in his estimation. A most formidable one. By Sir George Grey: If it could be clone, it would be well to close public business in Bristol at the time of an election. The feeling in Bristol since the last election was so strong that he believed that if another contest took place, unless the police provisions were much strengthened. there would certainly be bloodshed. To Mr. Ward Hunt : In Bristol the feeling in favour of the Ballot was not, he believed, on the increase. Mr. Stokes, of Kingstown, was the next witness. His evidence went to shew that bribery existed at the Dublin municipal elections. At the parliamentary election in 1852 the polling-places had been much increased—a course of proceeding which had a beneficial effect in preventing riots. Bribery was common on both sides at the Dublin parliamentary election. After some further evidence the committee adjourned. RATES OF FREIGHT AND CHARTER. (From the Shipping and Mercantile Gazette.) The tonnage loading on the berth for India, China, and •he Cape of Good Hope amounts to 60,876 tons, and that 'or Australia and New Zealand to 46,795 tons. Berth freights are somewhat firmer. The east wind 4revents arrivals, and disengaged ships are becoming scarce. More activity has been displayed this week in coat freights to the East, nevertheless rates have not, in most 'ustances, much improved. Tonnage is in request for Shang hae, at 445.; Singapore, 255.; Yokohama, 405.; and Hong Kong at 335. to 345. There is no new feature to notice in homeward chartering, which is, if anything, slacker than it has been for some time past. For Valparaiso and a port in Chili 295. is offered for a good-sized ♦essel, but for the other ports on that coast &here is little inquiry. The activity in chartering from the Guano Islands has somewhat subsided, tonnage having come forward freely to satisfy the orders recently received. Some further orders are, however, expected daily. West India and Brazil coal freights are firm at the last quotations, Martinique and St. Thomas engaging most attention. One or two orders for Havana would be moved off at 18s. to 19s. Homewards, with the exception of log wood from Jamaica, there is but little to be had for ton nage from the West Indies. Iron freights to the United States continue much the same. A large ship can be placed for New York from Wales at 21s. and 5 per cent. There is hardly any grain chartering from Montreal, New York, &c.; and it is diM. cult, in the absence of business, to give any reliable quotation. Iron is still going forward for Tagr.nrog by steamer, and a good deal of tonnage is being engaged for the con veyance of a large quantity of iron for Cronstadt. Medi terranean coal freights are dull and languid, the rate for Alexandria also observing a drooping tendency. Steam tonnage is required from the Azoff to U.K. at 505., option of Mediterranean at 6s. 3d. ; from Sulina to U.K. at 6s. 3d. Freights for sailing vessels shew no Im provement. A very destructive conflagration brokeout 011 Friday morning in the warehouse of Messrs. Brockes and Terlt, colonial brokers, Mincing lane, and before the engines reached the spot the flames extended to the warehouses on either side of the burning building. The houses - numbered 22, 24, 25, 26, and 27 were materially injured It is reported Vatiliaaagt THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 1, 1 69. ,SHARE LIST.

Her Majesty, accompanied byPriucess Christian, walked out in the grounds his morning. The other members of the Royal Family also went out. LYCEUM 'THEATRE. -- -C, - Miss Neilsen is an actress of too mityl talent to be spared from the London stage, and it is a matter of the highest gratification that her benefit, which took place last evening at the Lyceum, was not to be, as is usually the case, an opportunity for bidding farewell to admirers for a lengthened period. On the close of the Lyceum fu- dramatic performaLces, in order to make rowan for the " ne Italian Opera Company, Dr. Westlaud Marston's highly successful drama, " Life for Life" will be transferred to the Adelphi, Miss Neilson still re taining her character of Lilian, a part she has undoubtedly made entirely her own. On the occasion of her benefit, Miss Neilson selected Rosalind in Shakspere's comedy " As You Like It," and her representation of this particularly beauti ful creation of the immortal dramatist has added another very brilliant jewel to the sparkling diadem of fame she has already triumphantly earned. Founding her conception of the part on that of Miss Helen Faucit, the greatest living represeuta tor of it within the last five-and-twenty years, Miss Neilson achieved a success that must haVe been in the highest degree satisfactory to those who SG warmly recognised her splendid acting in " Life for Life." In the first portion of the comedy she threw the utmost gentleness and pathos into the part, whilst in the latter a more sprightly, hilariou., and hearty forester, with curtel axe at side, and spear in hand, has rarely, if ever, been represented on the stage. Her first interview with her devoted lover, Orlando, in (he forest of Ardennes, was a most charming speci men of dramatic art ; her remedy for the effectual cure for love was given with immense effect, and her reading of the celebrated lines on time, in the same scene, was exquisite ; in fine, to SUM up our admiration in the shortest possible manner, we can only say her rendering of the part was deliciously charming from beginning to end, and it was well and truly worthy of the immense applause it evoked. Mr. Jordan sustained the part of Jacques with great dramatic excellence, and Mr. Rignold as Orlando deserves very high praise for the excellent manner in which he performed the part ; indeed he did it so well that we hope it will not be long before we again have the pleasure of witnessing his perfor mance in other parts. Mr. B. Potter was the Duke, and he did it well. Mr. Rouse, as Touchstone, was not quite equal to the part ; however the comedy was very excellently represented, and gave the ut most satisfaction to a very brilliant audience. LAW IN7 ELLIGENCE.—(7II IS Day.) COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. THE QUEEN V. MADAME RACHEL. This case came on a writ of error to quash the convic tion of Madame Rachel, who, it will be remembered, was tried before Mr. Commissioner ICer at the Old Bailey, con v*.eted, and sentenced to five years' penal servitude for her rands upon Mrs. Borrodaile. Mr. Mellish said that this was a writ of error differing from those which usually come before the Court, because it did not depend upon the indictment or the finding of the jury, but entirely upon the constitution of the Court before whom it was tried. The act under which the Criminal Court was constituted made it imperative that two judges should preside at the trials and determine them. Three questions arose. The first and principal one was, whether the same two judges should not sit throughout a trial. The Court said they were of opinion that the Criminal Court child divide itself, and therefore Mr. Commissioner Kerr had not been superseded by any statutory enactment. They would, however, res.erve the point as to whether Lo could sit as Judge of the Sheriff's CGu:t. POLICE IlVlELLicihAc'E.-11ils Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CHARGE OF ROBBERY.—Archibald Gorman, was charged before Mr. Flowers with stealing live bottles of wine, some •.,ndles, and other articles, the property of a lady named Langdale, residing at 52, South •street, t'ark-lane. Mary Bartlett, housemaid to Ulu prosecutor, said the prisoner was yesterday employed cleaning windows, and in cons( queue° of a suspicion she had she watched the prisoner when lie left the house, and noticing some candles sticking out of his pocket went after him and taxed him with having some property which did not belong to him and on his going back to the house she called in a police man and gave Lim into custody. Remanded. WESTMINSTER. DISGRACEFUL OtTßAGE.—Victor Doedman, a French cook, was charged with wilfully breaking a gentleman's windows. Mr. Jager, of 42, Stanley-street, Pimlico, said that at a little after nine o'clock last night the prisoner wilfully threw stones through two large panes of glass is his din ing-room windows. Prisoner said he was very sorry, but he only wanted to see his wife, who was in service at the house, and was refused. Ho was fined the value of the glass, or 21 days' impri sonment. THAMES. James Baker, aged 15 years, was brought up on remand before Mr. Benson charged with stealing 6 ounces of yel low metal, value three-halfpence, the property of Captain Phillip Newman, the master of the schooner Henrietta. Mr. Pelham, solicitor, said this was a very bad case of robbery, by which his client, Captain Newman, had mate rially suffered.

KINGSCLERE. -Friday—Blue Gown, Lictor, and Madame Eglentincefilly arrived home, and this morning joined the other horses at exercise on Cannon Heath, where Lictor and Madame Eglentine filly did only walking exercise. Masterstroke commenced work by leading Mrs. Quickly colt a steady canter over the side hill. Ambitious led Polo Gomez a canter of a mile and a quarter, followed by Blue Gown and Rosicrucian at intervals. Vagabond led Waife, Blue Stocking, Girasol, and Salamisie. nice steady canter of a mile. All then went to the Litchfield downs, where they did good healthy exercise for a short time, when all again cantered but the three that returned home last evening, who only did gentle exercise. Soon after wards Ambitious led Pero Gomez a steady gallop of a mile and three-quarters, the latter going well. Vagabond and Rosicrucian galloped together a wile and three-quarters. Ersom.—At Chester, Malcolm, in the Eaton Plato, is the only one we have engaged at present on the fiat day. If he is asked he will land this. Weduez6day—ln the Chester Cup we have Cecil, Redcap, Ackworth, Bonnie Katie, Powderh•un, and Lopez. Of this lot the four last-named have no chance. NEV:MAItKET.—The following horses aro engaged at Chester, and have been doing plenty of good work up to the time of writing :—Pearlfeather, Morning Star, Per fume, Robospierre, Mars, Knight of the Garter, °lenience, Jerry Hawth , rn, The lEgean, Rattletrap, Border Knight, Grimston, Scimitar, Regula, Tramp, Sagittarius, Cham pagne Charlie, The Orphan, Vespasian, and Master Walter. In the Eaton Plate, Perfume is our best. Welter Cup. This looks well for Robespierre. Tradesmen's Plate.— I feel confident about The Egean winning, and Knight of the Garter will get a place. Dee Cr:and Cup.— Acaster will win. Cheshire Stakes.—Grimston is wall, and has done plenty of work, and I ncod say no more. Dee Stakes.— We have Scimitar and Regula, and both are well. The last-named is our best. Stamford Wolter Handicap.—Whichever Captain Machell runs will win. Cestrian Handicap.—Tramp will win. Stewards' Cup.-- Knight of the Garter or Vespasian will win. STOCIUMIDGE.—This day (Friday) the following were out, and all cantered :--Red Rice, Birdseeker, Blucher, Prince of Wales, Oliver Cromwell, Lady Louisa colt, Demidoff, Canning, Stanhope, Roderick Dhu, Glenlyon Yule Cake colt, Torment colt, Betty, Calypso, Foundling+ Vibration, Lucy Bertram, Amazon filly, Mount Pleasant, and Miss Foote. Then Miss Foote was sent a mile and a half gallop by herself at a good pace. John Day has been at Newmarket. Next week, at Chester, Ido not think we shall have any go. Eaton Plate—Betty is in, and would win if she were sent. She is also in the Flying Handicap and the Combermere Plate, but as Lord Westmorland has several more engaged I cannot think she will go. Cock of the Walk is in the Marquis of Westminster's Plate, but will not run, and the same may be said of Roderick Dhu for the Produce Stakep. LAMBOURNE.-At Chester we have the following horses engaged:—Patrician, Aggravator, The Sawyer, Edith, Pladda, Midshipman, Giantess, The Parson, Russian Bear, Disguise, colt by Newminster out of Eltham's dam, filly by Defender out of Amazonian, Choice, Cruiskern, colt by Marsyas out of Symmetry, Remus, and a filly by Scot tish Chief out of Lioness. Patrician is in the Eaton Plate, and I think he will take some doing for that. Wilton Cup.—The Sawyer, Edith, and Aggravator are in, and if The Sawyer could be trusted, ho, I think, would be our best. Palatine Plate.—We have Remus and Chassepot, and if both should run Remus will be the best. Chester field Stakes.—Midshipman, Pladda, and Giantess are in, and I like Giantess the best of them. MIDDLEII/131.—1n the Pavilion Stakes at Chester, Daw son has Lady Hawthorn and Derveutio engaged, but I think neither of them will run. Chesterfield Stakes— Mysotis or Argyle will win, and the latter has an allow ance in the Stewards' Cup, for which he has a great chance. Wynnstay Handicap—Honesty and Lord Haw thorn are in. Both are well, and the latter will win, if sent. Chester Cup—Mandrake, King's Cross, Pomfret, and Vansittart are all fit and well. I f,.ncy Mandrake will be the best of our lot, This horse has wintered well, and will be very bad to beat. Good Hope, although he has now commenced work, has been off too log to have a chance of winning. Three per Cent. and Honesty are both well in fur the two welter races. The first-named is best. Lady Henriett I and Lord Hawthorn aro well in the Cheshire Stakes, and the first-named will about win. Mysotis will be our best for the Marquis of Westminster's Plate, for which he has a great chance, as I think he is a good horse. LEWES.—At Chester Drowitt has several two year olds engaged; Scarboro' in the Mostyn Stakes, Prince Leopold in the Cheshire Produce, and the same cult in the Two Year Old Plate; Ironstone in the Belgrave Stakes, and Elsham in the Badminton Stakes. Drewitt's two year olds have performed so indifferently at present that I cannot recommend any of the lot to be backed. Uucas has been struck out of his Chester, York, Doncas ter, Ascot, Manchester, and Newton engagements. Pretender, accompanied by his clever trainer, Thomas Dawson, left Newmarket ior Middleham on Thursday morning. The defunct Ferias. had no produce after Pretender, as she was barren in 1867, and net covered in 1863. Gondolier has gone to France, and will nut run in the Chester Cup. Ironmaster was struck out of his Chester engagements after suffering a d_-feat at Newmarket on Friday. _ . GLASGOW RACES.—Everything, we hear, is Progressing satisfactorily in connection with the forthcoming race meeting at Glasgow. It will be held on the d , y (not yet known) set apart fur tho ccleb•ation of the Queen's birth day, and among others accepting th 3 stewardship are some of the leading gentry in t.e West of i'cotlaud. Ope rations are being actively pros:•cited on the ground at Kelvioside, both as relates to the course and the provi sion of Grand Stand and paddock accommodation. both the first and second horses for the Two Thousand are entered for the North Derby at the approaching New castle-upon-Tyne Summer Meeting. We hear on good authority that Custanco will ride Lades in the Derby, and probably become first jockey to Lord Rosebory. We regret to state that a stable boy was thrown while riding one of Mr. Batsou's horses at exercise on Wednes day, and he died on the following day. SALISBURY RACES.—The Old Castle Stakes, the Craven Plate, the Stonehenge Plate, and a Handicap, three. guar tern of a mile, close on Tuesday next. BELLADRUM.—As fault was found in certain quarters of the way in which Kenyon rode the Russley champion in the Two Thousand, ho has begged to be released from his engagement for the Derby. RETIREMENT OF THE DUKE OF HAMILTON.—It will be seen that this young nobleman ran nothing at Newmarket during the week, and we hear that he will not alter his determination to retire from the English Turf. Aintree, after winning a Selling Sweepstakes at New market on Thursday, was claimed by the Duke of New castle for Mr. Drewitt. Fordham and Jeffery won seven races - each, French six, Butler four, and Hunt and Daley three each, at the New market First Spring Meeting. Samson, 4 yrs, broke down badly iu his near fore leg after winning the Prince of Wales's Stakes at Newmarket on Wednesd'y. Thu Roborough Hunt and Garrison Flat Races and Steeplechases aro fixed to coma off on Bickleigh Downs, about four miles from Plymouth, on Tuesday, May 11. The Witch, a winner at Hopgrove, Sheriff Hutton, and Jtedon Steeplechases, has been purchased by Mr R. Smith, of Hull, to go to Germany. A veterinary certificate, signed by Mr. W. W. Pritchard, Assistant Professor of the Royal Veterinary College, Lon don, of the age of Mr. E. Bower's chestnut colt Sampson, 4 yrs, has been officially lodged. Veterinary certificates, signed by Mr. W. Barrow, of Newmarket, M.R.0.V.5., of the ages of Mr. H. Hawes's Fausse Alarme, 2 yrs, and Fougere, 2 yrs, have also been lodged. THE NEW RACE 001IRSE AT CORK.—An admirably executed sketch of the new racecourse on the park by Mr. Stopford, a well-known and clever townsman, has been just published, whereby a correct estimate may be formed of the many advantages secured in laying out the ground, and must largely aid in giving an impetus to to the move ment in favour of the laces. BTH HUSSARS STEEPLE CHASES.- An objection baying been lodged against Mr. Cotton's A.D.C., the winner of the North British Grand Military Chase, on the ground of an improper description, it being proved that he was for merly known as Silenus, by Knight of Kars, the stewards awarded the stakes to Mr. J. Douglas, the owner of the second horse, Neil Gow. On Wednesday, the day following Chipping Sodbury Steeple Chases, a match to)k place over four miles of the above country, between Mr. 0. Wetmore's bay gelding Deerhound and Mr. Riley's Old Farley. The former made the running half way round the course, when he fell, and Old Farley came on and won by several lengths. Spennymoor Steeplechases, on the New Rice Ground, will take place on Whit-Monday and Tuesday, as usual. COURSE OF EXCHANGE.
