The biddings for £25,000 in bills in India were received yesterday at the Bank of England. The amounts allotted were—to Calcutta £288,400, and "° Madras £36,600. The minimum price was fixed as before, at ls. 100. on Calcutta and Madras; and tenders on those Presidencies at ls. 10/d. will re ceive about 59 per cent., arid above that price in fa ll. These results show a further diminution in the demand for means of remittance to the East. A very important deci,ion has been given by the Lords Justices in the matter of the liquidation of the Humber Ironworks and Shipbuilding Com pany (Limited). The Warrant Finance Company, Who had lent the Humber Company £25,000, bear ing interest at the rate of .20 per cent. per annum, clai med to be paid dividends upon their interest as well as principal with the rest of the creditors 'hose debts did not carry interest. The Master of the Rolls considered they were entitled to receive dividends on both interest and principal, but the official liquidator ; Mr. Henry Chatteris, appealed to the Lords Justices, who decided that in all com- Panies in course of liquidation by the Court of Chancery creditors are only entitled to interest up to the date of the winding-up order, until all ere - ditors have received 20s. in the pound on their prin cipal money. Should there be any surplus assets after all cr e dito r s have received their principal in 'nil, those creditors whose debts carry interest arc entitled to receive it. With regard to the telegram from Washington of Peru having grauted belligerent rights to the C uban insurgents, an impression is expressed that 1. ..; is " only one of the many reports sprea d to damage Peruvian credit." It is said that when the two Monitors which Peru bought in New York Were authorised to leave the United States it was under an express engagement from the Peruvian Government that they would not interfere in the Cu ban question before the two vessels bad reached Peru. Hence, as they cannot arrive for six or eight I°° ntbs, the statement now circulated seems very improbable. Advices from Paris attribute the opposition in the It alian Chamber to the measures of the Finance Mi nister to the circumstance of the Nationa l 'auk of Italy and the Credit Mobilier having created a general feeling of dissatisfaction and en 'Y by seeking to monopolise Italian finance for their own profit, a feeling which was increased by a c ase in Mil an , w he r e, on a suit against a Deputy '.,°r brib ery , an ex t ens i ve s y s tem of bribery in the I talian Chamber was disclosed, and caused general ind ignation. At the meeting of the Malta and, Mediterranean Gas Company, a dividend at the rate of 7 per cent. w as declared on the preference stock, and of 31 per Ce nt. on the ordinary. The Birmingham Daily Post states that Messrs. G. Muntz and Co., of Birmingham and London, a firm in the copper trade, have issued circulars a nnouncing their suspension. The principal cre ditors are in London and South Wales, and the am ount of indebtedness is understood to be h e av y . T he same journal corrects a rumour that the firm 15 connected with Muntz's Metal Company, and Points out that the mistake arose entirely from the s imilarity of names. At the annual general meeting of proprietors of the Guardian Fire and Life Assurance Com pany, a dividend was declared of £2los. per share, Payable the sth of July next, free of income-tax.

An accident, which might have been attended with very serious consequences, took place this morning near the Brick-lane goods station of the Great Eastern Railway. I appears that the ten o'clock fast down train started at the usual hour with a full complement of passengers, and that at the same time what is termed a local train, for Barking and some other places on that line, was taken out of the siding, and was proceeding at a slow pace back to the platform to load passen gers, and it, of course, came into collision with the fast train. The latter had not got into full speed, owing to the shortness of the distance ; but, as it was, a very violent collision took place, the consequence of which was to smash the engine of the down train and a brake van almost to atoms, and the ruins were thrown across the up line. Fortunately, none of the passengers re ceived any serious injury, although several of them were __violently shaken. _ LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(2Ias Day.) HOUSE OF LORDS. UNDY AND OTHERS T. ALLAT. This was an appeal from the Court of Session in Scot land. The question before their lordships was whether the respondent has been legitimated by the subsequent marriage of his parents ; this question depending upon the fact where his father was domiciled. The Lord Chancellor was of opinion that the appeal must be dismissed with costs. FAD NrERTISEMENT.]- Holloway's Ointment and Pills are the best, the cheapest, and the most popular remedies.

At the last meeting of the Agricultural and Horticul tural Co-operative Association, of 29, Parliament-street, Westminster, Mr. Morrison, M.P., who is one of the Governing Council, made an interesting statement respect ing guano adulterations. He asked those present sub jected to temptations of low offers to consider two things. First, that the reduced prices thus offered to them were not voluntary favours, and would not be renewed the day following, if the association could be run off the road. Second, that they bad no security outside their own co operative association managed by themselves that reductions in price were not accompanied by reduc tions in value. He could illustrate that by a reference to the trade in guano. He knew something of the mysteries of the trade. Guano was not unfrequently offered to their members at prices as low as the association could purchase it from the agents of the Peruvian Government. Now as there was only one wholesale price to all the trade, they knew in such cases that some trick wag being played. A relative of his own bought some guano guaranteed as tieing genuine and un adulterated. It turned out upon analysis to be damaged by sea water. This was sold off by the Peruvian Govern ment's agents to contractors at a greatly reduced price, and he believed much care was taken to prevent it getting into the hands of the trade as best Peruvian guano ; but it found its way to the public in some cases as the genuine article. That was the least of the frauds. A common trick was to adulterate guano with guano. Mixtures were made up of inferior guanos and all sorts of compounds, and sold sometimes as genuine guano. The only advantage of the compounds was, that they yielded a handsome profit to the mixers, whilst gratifying the economical propensities of the buyers. At Liverpool, moreover, there is a convenient deposit of yellow loam on the Mersey, which, with plaster of Paris and brick dust and sand, enables certain dealers to supply the country -with Peruvian guano of any price required. The practice was well understood in the trade. The skill of rogues who mixed exceeded the detective skill of the buyers, as an incident be recently saw reported would spew. A Scotch agriculturist lecturing upon the matter to his club produced before his audience two samples, and asked the farmers present to judge between the genuine article and the adulterated one. A majority gave a preference to the mixture. Some agents and dealers relied so implicitly upon the ease with which their customers could be caught by bargains, that they simply kept a stock of appropriate sand in their warehouses, or on board the barges which carried their supplies home, and cheapened the article as the grocers were said to cheapen their sugar. If the members would look at the published analysis of guano, supplied last season by the association, they would see that it contained less than one per cent. of sand, the pro portion being 0 . 69 ; but ordinary samples of adulterated guano had been found to contain no less than 47 per cent. of sand. STARIE TO LORD PALMERSTON. On Wednesday the memory of Lord Palmerston was honoured at Southampben. Lord Carnarvon unveiled a statue of the deceased statesman. The statue (which is the work of Mr. Thomas Sharp, of Edgware-road, London), and the pedestal on which it stands are in white marble, resting on a granite plinth. The height of the figure is eight feet, and the pedestal extends about nine feet from the ground. The trefoil is semi -classical, having the cloak introduced to take away the objectionable appearance in sculpture of the coat and trouse r s o f th e p res ent day, without in the least interfering with the costume ordinarily worn by his lordship. This tends to give substance to the figure, and the pendant folds of the cloak lead down to the scroll, with books, on which are inscribed the official appoint ments of his lordship, from the year 1809 to the time of his decease when he was Prime Minister. He is in the act of speaking, holding a scroll in one hand, while the other is on the breast, indicative of the honesty of purpose and warmth of feeling. The inscription on the front of the pedestal reads :—" Palmerston, K.G., G.C.B. Born 1784 ; died 1865. A burgess of Southampton. Erected by public subscription. Frederick Perkins, Mayor, A.D. 1860." Lord CAENARVONL in unveiling the statue, observed °hat, as men of all shades of (pinion admired the character of the late nobleman and had subscribed to the memorial, so he found men of all shades of politics now assembled around the statue. He thought there was enough beyond the range of party politics to admire in the character of Lord Palmerston. It bad been said that party polities Ltd a tendency to crush out all kindliness of heart and i r spirit. It might be so generally speaking, but it was not so with Lord Palmerston. Political changes were difficult and painful to pass through, and those statesmen were fortunate who, by the gift of intellect, or character, or of both combined in their persons, rendered the passage of society from one state to another easier and safer. Lord Palmerston was the link between the older society' which they could hardly remember, and the younger society of which they formed part. He (Lord Carnarvon) thought that one great secret of this was Lord Palmerston's popularity. There had been Ministers win had been popular in Parliament and others who had been popular in the country, but there had been very few who like Lord Palmerston bad been equally popular in Parliament and with the country. There was one thing which made his lordship popular; he was essen tially and emphatically an Englishman—an Englishman as much in Lis faults as in his virtues, and therefore he attracted personal sympathy to his character. They erred who thought that the name of a great statesman died with him. Though among some his name might be for gotten, his memory lived on to encourage by warning or example ; and though it was well that this noble statue should have been erected in honour of the name of Lord Palmerston, and to commemorate the feelings of the peo ple, yet he need not tell them that no man needed such a statue, because the country that he had loved and served was after all his best monument. The statue was then formally uncovered. Speeches were also delivered in eulogy of his lordship by Earl Fortescue and the Hon. W. F. Cowper, M.P. The writ for Stafford was received on Wednesday. The nomination is fixed for Monday. The ballot is defi nitely agreed upon by the Liberal candidates, and is to le held to-morrow (Friehy). REPRESENTATION OF NOTTINGHAM.—An address has been issued by Mr. James Acland (formerly Sir R. Clifton's agent), cautioning the electors not to commit themselves hastily, but to adopt a proper successor to Sir Robert. Mr. Seely, jun., and Mr. Osborne have been communicated with, and they have each committed their interests, it is said, into the hands of their friends. Mr. G. Ward, a local l ace man uf ac t urer , o f Liberal views, Is spoken of, as well as Mr. P. W. Clayden, who was unsuc , cessful at the last election. THE SUEZ CANAL.—WC cannot refrain from expressing a regret that justice is scarcely done by the public towards a gentleman who has supported for these past ten years all the weight of the company's enormous interests in England, has canvassed with pen and voice each succeeding Government for support, has fought single-handed a most arduous and apparently desperate battle with a hostile press, and with public men apathetic or contemptuous ; and this, as is understood, without other reward than a rongrionsnese of right, and a profound desire to advance the world's true inte rest. We allude to Mr. D. A. Lange, " English director" of the company. In rendering a well deserved tribute of admiration to M. de Lesseps, it has almost been forgotten that one of ourselves, an English man by family and education, though born, we believe, in Holland, was associated from the very first with the great French engineer in his undertaking, and, by increasing activity and perseverance, when the prospect was darkest, has earned a claim upon our admiration scarcely less strong than that of M. de Lesseps himself. It should be universally known that to Mr. Lange's patriotic firmness it was principally due that the vast tract of Gossheu was resold by the company to Egypt, and the complete neutralisation of the canal established.—Asiatic. A GIRDLE ROUND THE EARTH.—Often is the practical speed of the electric current brought into conver sation. A very satisfactory determination of this datum has been made in America in connection with a measurement of the difference of longitude between San Francisco and Cambridge, Massachussetts, a distance along the wires of 3,600 miles. Longitude is, where possible, mea sured by telegraph : thus—a clock accurately set by the stars is placed at each sta'.,ion, and each clock is made 'to transmit its beats through the line and mark themi on a chronograph at the other station ; the clock at the receiving station registering its beats upon the same chronograph. The beats thus ap pear side by side, and the difference between them is the difference of longitude in time between the two places plus the short interval occupied by the passage of the current through the wire. To find this in the special case to which I am referring a second wire was employed, so that a circuit of 7,200 miles was completed, and signals were sent from San Francisco to Cambridge and back again, the instants of their going out and return• ing home being accurately recorded. The interval, the time spent by the current in traversing 7,200 miles, was eight-tenths, or just over three-quarters, of a second. A single battery could not work through such a length ; relays—instruments for reinforcing the current—to the number of eleven were in the circuit ; so that in three fourths of a second the signal had to be repeated eleven times. A relay requires a small fraction of a second to do its work ; not enough, however, to seriously affect this determination. At the above speed a signal would go round the world in three seconds and a half.

In delivering his charge to the clergy of Nottingham, Archdeacon Mackenzie made some remarks in reply to various sermons preached by Dr. Vaughan, vicar of Don caster. Ile particularly noticed the expression that "we aro passing more and more out of a parochial into a congregational state." The archdeacon considered this sentiment to run counter to the real slate of things. He believed that the territorial condition was most progres sive, and for the Church to go back to the congregational form would be a retrogressive step. To revert from the perfect theory, whereby every parish has its church and pastor, appeared unsuited to the higher condition of reli gious life to which Divine Providence bad brought our land. The defects which existed did not arise from the system under which we lived, but from the imperfect way in which they the parochial authorities carried out that system. THE ASSEMBLIES OF THE SCOTCH CHURCIIF,S. The two General Assemblies have now concluded their work. In the Established Church Assembly the ministers have petitioned against the Marriage Affinity Bill, though not unanimously. Dr. Norman Macleod, in his closing speech, as Moderator, took up, first, that which men estimate so differently—the critical spirit of this age. He thought it rather good than otherwise. He also noticed the jealousy of all monopolies ; the rapid diffusion of information, and the important changes following therefrom ; and the opposition existing among Churches and their clerical leaders. The Moderator insisted on the necessity for creeds and scientific investigations. He next raised discussion of the relation of the Established Church to other Churches in Scotland. In regard to the Irish Church, the Moderator did not think it necessary to detain the Assembly by expres sing his own views. Those who were opposed to either must, he thought, in justice admit that the question was encompassed with considerable difficulties. While, as upholders of the established principle, they might be sus pected of a partial bias in favour of maintaining the Church of Ireland, he might safely say that those who from principle, whether ecclesiastical or political, ardently desired the destruction of all establishments, were not without prejudices either. His opinion was that Voluntary and High Church principles lay at the root of this revolution ; that all justice might have been done to the feelings and fair demands of Roman Catholics, and as many sacrifices made as political justice could demand, by reform in the Irish Protestant Church ; while he believed that no reform or sacrifices, however just, would materially affect the feelings of the Roman Catho lics of Ireland towards a Protestant Throne or Church. He offered the deepest sympathies of the Assembly with their Episcopalian and Presbyterian brethren in Ireland in the position in which they were placed. With respect to themselves, he did not think it necessary so much to defend endowments as to express gratitude for pos sessing them, as it was of immense importance to have some security for the decent maintenance of the educated clergy. He admired the efforts of the disestablished Churches in Scotland ; yet he was not the less convinced of the importance of endowment along with voluntary effort. Seat rents were a shameful perversion of the Esta blishment principle. In no case whatever could they be justified ; where legally possib'e they should be banished from every parish church in Scotland. But the argument for not subscribing to the work of an Established Church on the ground that it was Established ought to be reversed. The people so supported ought to subscribe generously to all good work. The meeting of Assembly which had now closed had given ample evidence in every measure which it had carried, especially in regard to the Law of Patronage, of its sincere wish to make the National Church more and more a means of living good. These tol:ens strengthened their conviction that the Church was beginning again with revived strength and energy— although subdued, purified, humbled—a career of use. 11(85. In the Free Assembly the members were practically condemning the Moderator of the other. The report of the committee on Sabbath Observance, after detailing various modes of Sabbath desecration they had opposed, concluded by expressing a regret "that so large a class in our country devote the day to the purposes of pleasure aed recreation, while many are easily satisfied with a very partial attendance in the House of God." hi moving the approval of the report, Dr. Lumsden, of Aberdeen, took occasion to condemn Good Words and the Sunday Magazine. He recently observed in Good Words (of which Dr. Macleod is editor) an article by a dignitary of the Church of of England, almost expressly devoted to the denouncement of the views both of his own Church and of the Free Church, and pointed against the authority of the Christian Sabbath and the unalterable obligation of the moral law. The article, he said, was distinguished by the ordinary flimsy superficiality which characterised the writing of that side, and by a greater than ordinary amount of ignorance. Then there was the Sunday Magazine. In it there were popular novels not always of a religious character. That periodical did not seem to be designed to promote the Gospel of Christ or to give proper views of Gospel truth, but rather to exhibit the views of writers in all Christian Churches, side by side, and upon that ground it claimed support from the members of Christian Churches of all shades and all creeds. They had much reason for alarm at these various means by which from all quarters the authority of the Sabbath was being undermined. The motion was agreed to. TRADE DISPUTES.-ONE THOUSAYD COLLIERS STRIKING. The Manchester Exantin:r says Halifax and Wigan have to be added to the list of towns in which strikes have been commenced by operatives connected with the building trade. In both towfls, the hour system, the adoption of which the master masons insist upon, is the principal question in dis pute, and the operative masons, both in Halifax and Wigan, having refused to work by the hour, a lock-oot has taken place in each town. In Manchester, the number of brick layers on strike, in consequence of the recent dispute, is stated to be 8.50, but a number had been previously stopped through the lock-out of the masons. An extensive strike of colliers has taken place at Little llulton, near Bolton. Nearly all the men emyloyed at the collieries there have refused to work at the reduced scale of payment proposed by the masters, and about a thousand colliers are unemployed in conse quence. The proprietors state that during the last twelve months the price of coal has been reduced by 2s. I.ld. per ton, while the reduction of wages is only aid. per ton, and 2d. per yard "on the straight." They propose to make a further reduction of 4id. per ton, 4d. per yard, and 4d. per day in the labourer's wages. The men manifest a disposition to have the dispute settled by arbitration. The dispute between the Bristol masons and their employers also resulted in a strike. About 200 masons have turned out. Here also the hour system, and certain other rules have caused the dispute. THE COMIC PAPERS. (From the Owe.) JOKE BY DR. CUMMING.—If the Pope of Rome Ca/110 to England be should be sent to live at Peter-borough. A member against whom a petition had been brought devised the following cypher for his wife, on being advised that telegraphic messages were not always sacred : —lf the petition seemed likely to be rejected he was to telegraph the letters M.P. ; if the reverse, U.P. A witty member of Parliament, on meeting Mr. F. Walpole, one of the members for North Norfolk, who had successfully gone through the ordeal of a petition, said to him, " I congratulate you on having saved your Bacon and your Lacon simultaneously." (From Punch.) THE SHEET ANCHOR OF oIIR LIBERTIES.—The Press. POPULAR PROTESTANT SONG.—" Charley is my darling." WILD SPORT AT WORMHOLT-SCRUBBS.—III there any sport corresponding to tame pigeon shooting? Yes ; and the Gun Club might as well, now and then, as a substi- tute for deer-stalking, diversify their accustomed sport with sheep-shooting. A GOOD RIDDANCE.—There was joyful news in the papers last week for wearied and disgusted readers. One line brought them great relief, after months of bribery, corruption, intimidation, guzzling, treating, tippling, fencing, and various other old English sports and pastimes. It was simply this—" The Last of the Election Petitions." Blackburn, Willes, and Martin, who ought to be the best judges of their own feelings, are understood to share in the general joy at this most welcome announcement. (From Judy.) To MESSRS. TATTERSALL.—When a man parts with his "stud," does he give up the " ring " as well? " ODD FELLOW."—The correspondent who has written to us under this signature is informed that it's quite absurd to infer that Earl Russell is a "Forester," from the fact of his being " Little John!" the British ship William Wheatley was lost on the coast of Cuba on the 7th of May. The Mines Regulation Bill (according to a Man chester paper) is likely to be withdrawn. Wednesday being appointed for the eedebration of her Majesty's fiftieth birthday , the usual 49nonstrations wore given in her honour. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE—L. - This Day LONDON BEITING.—Tins DAY.
