The traffic receipts on the Metropolitan and St. John's Wood Railway stand at £379. • Advices from Glasgow announce the failure of Messrs. Inglis and Morris, manufacturers, with liabilities amounting to about £20,000. Great attention is directed to the further pro ceedings which are to take place on Thursday next before the Committee of the House of Com mons in the matter of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company's Bill. The feeling amongst the share and debenture holders is de cidedly that the Committee are quite correct in the views they have taken, and that it is advisable the directors should be controlled in the issue of the "A" debenture stock by the arbitrators, Lord Cairns and the Marquis of Salisbury, iu whose hands, it is felt, the pending matters may be safely left. In a letter published by Mr. Grosvenor Hodgkinsen he states that he will be " quite content to abide" by the committee's judgment, and it is strongly to be hoped that the board, as a body, will be found ready to acquiesce in the plans proposed, which appear to affurd the only means whereby the affairs of the company can be put straight. Apart altogether from legal difficulties it is obvious that when a great undertaking like this falls into embarrassment, and it is found im possible to reconcile by ordinary means the con flicting tights of the various claimants, the very course which men of business would at once adopt would be the one proposed by the present bill— that is to say, the disputants, if they were guided by common sense, would appoint two or three men of undoubted character and position, and would consent to be bound by their decision. It is diffi cult to see what better men could be appointed to Such a pcst than an ex-Lord Chancellor and first rate lawyer like Lord Cairns, and a nobleman of Statesmanlike breadth of view like Lord Salisbury. Considering the saving which may thus be effected in the cost of litigation, the advantage to be derived through the attention of the directors being solely to the development of traffic, and the vast number of interests involved, it will be a matter of reproach to all concerned if the present effort to place the affairs of the company in a train of settlement should not be carried through suc cessfully. The directors of the Britannia Fire Association have notified a second issue of 10,000 shares ; per share on application, and six months after allotment ; when subscribed the capital of the association will stand at £250,000, and £50,000 paid up, which the directors believe will be amply sufficient for all present purposes. The business has been in active operation since January last. At the meeting of the Singapore Gas Company (Limited), a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum was declared. The fifth ordinary general meeting of the share holders of the Anglo-Austrian Bank will be held at Vienna on the 31st May. The East Indian Railway Company have issued a circular to the shareholders notifying the issue of the £1,000,000 of N Extension capital, gua ranteed 5 per cent., which was authorised at the meeting of proprietors held on the 31st of De cember last.

Aprilsnd QCt 4.09 10 ilea DA I i THE CHARGE AGAINST A BANK MANAGER, Yesterday Mr. Samuel Grcenway Finney, the general manager of the late English Joint Stock Bank (Limited), in Clements•lane, surrendered to his recognizances before the Lord Mayor. at the justice room of the Mansion House, to answer further the charge, on which he had Veen arrested on a warrant on Saturday week, of making and concurring in making divers false entries in the books of the bank, and of omitting, or concurring in omitting, certain material particulars, with intent to defraud. Mr. George Lewis, jun., solicitor, of Ely-place, again conducted the prosecution ; the defendant was re presented by Mr. Littler and Mr. Straight, bar risters. The case was first before the court on Monday week, and the defendant was accused in the opening speech of Mr. Lewis of deliberately and fraudulently making fictitious entries in the bank books, and of omit ting statements affecting the position of the bank from its books and from the reports to the shareholders. He was, however, stated to be no more and no less guilty than the directors of the company. On evidence given by Mr. Francis D. Lambert, of Devonshire-place, Portland-place, the prosecutor, and Mr. C. F. Kemp, one of the liqui dators and auditors of the bank, the defendant was remanded on bail till yesterday, when several witnesses were called in support of the prosecution. The case was Again adjourned. THE CASE OF MR. BENNETT OF FROMEI The Church Association has failed in its attempt to get the second work of Mr. Bennett, on the subject of the Real Presence, investigated. Mr. Stephens, Q.C., has made an application to the Court of Queen's Bench, (Justices Lush, Hannan, and Hayes), for a rule calling upon the Bishop of London to shew cause why a writ of mandamus should not issue commanding him to issue a commission under the Church Discipline Act for the purpose of making inquiry as to the grounds and charges made by Mr. Shepherd against the Rev. Mr. Bennett, vicar of Frome Selwood, for holding doctrines con trary to those of the Church of England. The original commission (Mr. Stephens stated) had been called upon to adjudge whether a certain passage in Mr. Bennett's work, " An Examination of Archdeacon Denison's Propo sition of Faith," was heretical. They had sent the case to the Arches Court. The present application was made in consequence of a reissue of the work, containing the same expressions of opinion with regard to the real pre sence and the adoration, but it was more specific with regard to the reception by the wicked. An application was made to the Bishop of London by Mr. Shepherd's solicitor to issue a commission to inquire whether in re spect to the reissue there were grounds for further in quiry. To the application his lordship replied that he had carefully considered the matters laid before him, and having examined the book said to have been published by the Rev. Mr. Bennett within the diocese of London, he was of opinion that it was not a case in which lie ought to issue a commission. The question was whether a bishop had an absolute discretion in refusing to issue a commis sion under the Church Discipline Act when a layman having an interest in the matter charged his parish clergy man with having published doctrines inconsistent with the 29th Article and Book of Common Prayer. There had never been any formal decision upon the power of a bishop in such a case as this, for it really involved the supremacy of the Crown and the right of the laity. There was not a case from 1640 down to the passing of the Church Dis cipline Act where the laity had not a right to have any question in reference to ecclesiastical matters discussed in open court, provided cause was shewn for ecclesiastical cognisance, and security was given for costs. Mr. Justice Hayes asked what was the reason for having a second commission for the same thing ; and if a second why not a third.—Mr. Stephens said the reason was that in the second publication Mr. Bennett was more specific as to the reception of the body and blood of Christ by the wicked. A decision in this case might further prevent litigation. Mr. Justice Lush said this appeared to involve the same point as was raised on the first proceedings against Mr. IBennett.—Mr. Stephens said it could not be satisfactorily raised under the first proceedings.—Mr. Justice Lush said that, according to his recollection, the doctrines were put forth quite as strong in the first book as in the second. — Mr. Stephens said he should be content if the court would say the fist proceedings would include this publication. —Mr. Justice Lush said this court could not give any judgment that would bind the ecclesiastical court. He was fully prepared to say there should be no rule in this case, on the ground alone that in the exercise of the dis cretion of the court they would not allow a second suit for the same matter whilst the first suit was pending.— Mr. Justice Hayes said the book appeared to have been first published ten years ago.—Mr. Stephens said there had been a reissue of this work, teeming with theo logical poison, since the issuing of the commission. Its republication was another offence. Mr. Shepherd was not aware of the existence of the work until after he made his application last year. In dealing with the discretion of the court in granting this rule, the learned counsel quoted Lord Camden, who said, " The discretion of a judge is the law of tyrants. It is always unknown. It is different in different men. it is casual, and depends upon constitution, temper, and passion. In the best it is oftentimes caprice ; in the worst it is every vice, folly, and passion to which human nature is liable." Mr. Justice Lush, in delivering jndgment, said he was of opinion there should be no rule. He should pause be fore he overruled a case decided in this court in 1859, though only by two judges, that it was discretionary, and not obligatory, for a bishop to issue a commission. He also thought there should be no rule on another ground— viz., that in their discretion they ought not to force a bishop to do that whichhis matured judgment told him he ought not to do. The bishop had not declined jurisdic tion in this case. He had applied his mind to it, and he bad come to the conclusion that it was inexpedient to issue a commission. When the court recalled to their minds that the proceedings pending against Mr. Bennett involved substantially the same question—the same sub stantive matter —they ought not in their discretion to compel the bishop to issue a commission. If the present 'proceedings failed, and the prosecutor thought it expedient to pursue the inquiry further, it would then be time for the court to say whether it was obligatory on the bishop to do what he was asked. He thought the bishop had exercised a wise discretion in not issuing another commis sion whilst the first was pending subtantially for the same matter. The other learned judges concurred. The Dundee and Peterhead whaling fleets have this year proved as successful as those of last year were unfortunate. On Monday the Arctic arrived at Dundee, bringing a total catch of 4,000 seals, which are expected to yield about 50 tons of oil. Other ve sels are reported to have caught much larger numbers, and, but for an accident to her rudder, the Arctic would have remained until May. LUXURIANT AND BEAUTIFUL HAIR.—MRS. S. A .

Judge Brewster's charge to the grand jury which commenced the Quarter Session of Philarlelphia on the sth itn,tant contained some remarkable state ments. Noticing that there were more than 400 indictments, and the great increase in the cases of murder and homicide, he said—"lt is time that the bad should be made to feel the power of the law.

There are certain men in Phila delphia who cannot be brought to justice. They cau beat down, almost murder our policemen, secure bail, and abscond until opportunity permits their return. Others take life almost with impu nity. The homicides committed in this city in the year 1868, as compared with those of 1867, are in the proportion of 133 to 91, an increase of 40 per cent. Infanticides have increased nearly 50 per cent., and the total of murders in one year is four times the convictions for homicides in thirty years. This is all due to the perverted sym pathy which exalts the assassin into the posi tion of a persecuted victim of the law. An able writer has sail the legal duel betwee❑ a murderer and justice, we give the prisoner not only a fair start, but we throw every obstacle in the way of getting at the truth. ' Crimi❑al li berty' will soon have to be toasted with Civil and religious liberty.' It has thus come to pass, gen tlemen, that men are shot down or stoned to (loath upon our highways, and that the law seems as powerless for their vindication as it was for their protection. Grand juries hesitate to find true bilk and petit juries often refuse to convict except of inferior grades, frequently coupling those verdicts with recommendations to mercy. And even iu au occasional case of great atrocity, when a convic tion is followed by a sentence to death, the Execu tive is besieged for a pardon. It is owing to these efforts to thwart justice that it has come to pass in Philadelphia that it is more dangerous for a man to pick a pocket than to take a life. The thief is much more certain of being punished than the mur derer. This will continue until public opinion un dergoes a change. Illinois has recently been com pelled to restore the death penalty to her statute book. Maine has just refused by a large ma jority to abolish it. Wisconsin, Michigan, and ithode Island are now the only States in the Union in which capital punishment is not inflicted." Commenting on this the Philadelphia Public Ledger says :—" At a time when our criminal courts are kept busy trying prisoners charged with the gravest crimes known to the law—when the prosecuting attorney found so heavy a calendar that he was ob iged to keep two Criminal Courts in almost con :inual session for three consecutive months—at a season when no less than 19 homicide cases have beets tried at three terms, short terms, indepen dently of all other criminal business-when at the commencement of every successive term the Judges are exhorting Grand Juries to inquire earnestly into this condition of affairs-when the same Judges publicly state that in the year 1868 there was an increase of homicides of nearly 40 per cent. over the year 1867, and a similar increase in the propor tion of infanticides-there is seen on the other hand the most extraordinary and persistent efforts to screen offenders of all grades from the punish ment due to their crimes, and to relieve them from the penalties of the violated law. Counsel for ac cused prisoners are seen going far beyond their duty to their clients in securing them fair trials under the protection of the law, far beyond their duty as officers of the Courts in which they prac tise, and seem to have adopted the rule of securing impunity to offenders at all hazards, regardless of the demoralizing effects upon society, and the im mediate peril to the public. THE GREAT SAFE ROBBERY.-On the 4th April the iron safe was broken into of the St. John's Beneficial Safety Fund, and its entire contents, amounting to over a million of dollars, consisting of -$20,000 Delaware State 6's ; $lO,OOO 5-20's of 1867; $21,000 5-20's of 1864; $4,0005 -20's of 1865 ; $102,000 Pennsylvania 5 per cent. bonds • $25,000 Connecting Railroad bonds • $15,000 Sunbury and Erie bonds ; $20,000 Camden and Amboy mort gage bonds ; $3,000 of $lOO each of Camden and Amboy mortgage bonds ' • $lO,OOO Long Island 6 per cent. bonds; $4,000 Philadelphia 6 per cent. Registered Loan ' • $38,900 Philadelphia 6 per cent. Loan ; $50,000 Pennsylvania State 6 per cent. Loans; $77,700 United States 5-20's of 1865, re gistered-of these there were 15 bonds of $5,000 each, two of $l,OOO, one of $5,000 and two of $lOO ; 33,000 Pennsylvania War Loan ; $lO,OOO New ersey State 6's ; $4,000 Pittsburgh 5 p.-r cent. Cor poration bonds; $32,000 Allegheny City 5 per cent, bonds; sl,ooo Camden City bonds ; $ 32,000 Schuylkill Navigation honds ; $15,000 North Pennsylvania Railroad 6 per cent. bonds ; $l,OOO North Pennsylvania Railroad 7 per cut. bond's ; $25,000 United States bonds of 1881 ; $20,000 5-20 bonds ; $27,000 10-40 bonds ; $25,000 Phi ladelphia and Erie 6 per cent. bonds. Besides these, they bad in the safe $12,000 in greenbacks and some coin, which the robbers carried away with the a.curiths. The only Loud left behind by the robbers was a $l,OO one, which was found on the fluor. '1 he Lurglary was effected in broad daylight, between six in the morning and six in tee evening on a Sunday, and the directors are blamed for not taking better precautions, the s fie offering peculiar facilities for the robbery. A watchman remained as a guard during the night, but he left the premises at six in the morning, and the robbery was not discovered till six p.m. when he returned. Entrance had been effected by getting into the billiard saloon through Cheout-street, and then down the stairway leading from Twelfth-street. litre it was discovered that the winnow opening on to this stairway had been prised op,?n. and through this the President and other gentiereen entered the office of the society. They found the gas burning, and the office floor strewed with enve lopes, which had contained the securities of the society. On searching carefully it was discovered that every bond held by the society, to the amount of over $BOO,OOO, had been stolen, as well as some $200,000 or $300,000, it is supposed, coupon and registered bonds, that had been left in the fire-proof by private individuals, for safe keeping. The fire-proof is built of brick and stone, inside the office, with double doors of chilled iron, the outer door being locked with a combination lock. The burglars went to work in the most skilful and sys tematic manner, and must have completed the job in a few hours. They placed in front of the fire proof door a stout piece of oak timber about four feet long, the end fastened to the floor by strong iron clamps, to this another piece of timber was connected as a brace. A large iron brace and I'. f of the finest steel was then brought to Lear upon the lock, and after removing the plate containing the letters, a hole was drilled through the door into the lock, breaking the bolt, and thus allowing the door to be easily opened. The breaking of the inner door was but a trifling matter, and the work of rifling the tin boxes containing securities belonging to private individuals commenced. There were about 3,000 depositors, most of them poor, hard working people, by whom the loss will be severely felt. Mr. P. Quinn, the treasurer, suffers heavily, and other officers of the institution also. The lion. J. Campbell had about $4,000 in coupon bonds in the safe; $2,000 of them were left on the floor, sup posed to have been dropped in the robbers' flight. There was a diamond necklace, valued at $lO,OOO in the vault belonging to Mrs. M'Caulley, which was carried off. An experienced banker has given it as his decision that the burglars can only use $70,000 of the amount, and steps have been taken to bribe the ruffians to return what they cannot use, $25,000 being offered as a preliminary. GOLD MINING.—The company which we lately mentioned as about to come out has been advertised dur ing the week. It is based, as wo before observed, on the plan of securing to the investors a minimum dividend of 5 per cent. per annum, independent of the property and the directors, through the means of a guarantee fund invested in Government stocks, and deposited with the trustees, who have named their own bankers. The property is situated in the Grass Valley District, Nevada County, California. The prospectus does not exaggerate in stating that it is the best gold-producing district in the State, nor that the Eureka mine is oue of immense wealth. The latest news from that ledge on which the company's property is situated says that the miners are preparing for a brisk summer's work, that only about two feet of snow remained on the ground, which was rapidly melting, and that the mines opened generally had not stopped work during the winter. The district is rapidly progressing notwithstanding the Iw-ore created by the White Pine silver mill's. Indeed some of the ledges in Grass Valley, considering how cAnparatively cheap it is to work the ore ; are thought to pay as well. In answer to a resolution of the house of liPpre sentatives, the President reports, that the number of ves sels captured by rebel cruisers during the war was nearly 300, and their estimated value more than $13,000,000. Some time ago we gave a full list of every vessel taken by the privateers, from which any one intaested may calcu late what portion of the sum is likely to fall to England's share in liquidation. On the Bth inst. the documents re lating to the correspondence on the Alabama Clnims were sent to the Senate by the President. The manuscript transmitted, closely packed and pressed, was about a wheelbarrow full, weighing 1001bs. As it will be printed, and each Senator furnished with a copy, they will have something gratis to read on their summer tour.

PRIVATE BUSINESS. Tho Rees Improvement Act, 1863, Amendment Bill, and the South Metropolitan Gas Bill were read a third time. On the motion for the consileration of the Imperial Gas Bill, Mr. MORRISON moved that the bill be recommitted to the former committee with a view to the insertion of causes to make the bill consistent with the provisions of the City of London Gas Act, UM. Mr. IaIONCK seconded the motion. After a few remarks from Mr. S. CAVE and Mr. GoLD KEY, Mr. YOUNG said ho had no objection in recommitting the bill. Tho Imperial Gas Bill was referred back to the com mittee. EVIDENCE AMENDMENT BILL. Mr. PENMAN moved the second reading of this bill. Mr. S. HILL moved as an amendment that the bill be lead a second time on that day six months. Sir It. P. COLLIER thought that au unanswerable case had been made out, and believed that the bill would have a beneficial effect in obtaining evidence of truth. Sergeant Dowse, Mr Vernon Harcourt, and Mr. Amphett supported the bill, and the amendment was negatived without a division, and the bill was read a second time. HOSPITALS, &c., RATING EXEMPTION BILL. Mr. WHEELHOUSE moved the second reading of this bill. Mr. GOSCHEN opposed the amendment on the ground that if the hospitals were to be exempted from rates they would be asked to exempt schools, working men's insti tutes, &c. Very many of the hospitals had considerable estates, and if they were exempted the effect would be serious. Mr. SCLATER-1100T11 agreed with the objections raised by U right hon. gentl,ing.n (Mr. (loselien), an ,i referred to the c»;:•6 of St. Thomas's Hospital, which Was a very important and rich institution. After a few observations from Mr. CAWLEY, Sir M. BEACLI expressed his determination to orpoNi he second reading of the bill, and spoke until a claimer to x, wen by the rules of the house, the debate was postponed. The lieuPo adjourned at 12 minutes to six. A meeting to organise a Reform League will soon be held in Boston, called by William Endicott, jun., Edward Atkinson, William Lloyd Garrison, Henry V. Poor, John W. Chandler, and James Dupel, most of whom, with other gentlemen, will address the meeting.
