Annexed is a suggestion for putting a stop to the uncertainties in connection with the financial position of the Metropolitan Railway, which for the past six months have afforded a harvest to unscrupulous operators. As a general rule com mittees of investigation do more harm than good, but the report of a careful accountant of high standing could not be otherwise than bene ficial to all parties honestly interested, and a country shareholder suggests as follows :—" The constant and large fluctuations in the Metro polital Railway shares, added to a succession of cir culars and lawsuits, naturally cause considerable anxiety to distant proprietors. It is also a source o f inquiry if there can be any foundation in the r eports that some of the parties intimately con nected with the management of the railway are con stantly engaged in large Stock Exchange operations in the shares of the company. This certainly can not be a healthy state of things. I believe it to be for the interest of all parties concerned that there should be a thoroughly independent investigation of all parties connected with the company. The best way to effect this would be to appoint some public accountant of eminence and position, who would inspire confidence, to examine and sift the true position of the concern." At the meeting of the Anglo-Egyptian Banking Company (Limited), an interim dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum was declared, being the full amount the directors are authorised by the articles of association to decl ire as an interim payment. The following is from the Cape Copper Mining Company :—" The company have desqatebes to April 10, reporting satisfactorily ou Ookiep Mine a nd the outside trial mines ; returns, 501 tons of 33 Per cent. ; transport, 188 tons.

The furore created by the engagement of Kelly and Leon (the only Leon) seems nighly to increase, and now that Offenbach's opera, " Barbe Bleu," has got thoroughly mastered by the members of the company generally, these celebrated artistes have an opportunity of still further showing their won derful abilities. Leon, as a dancer and singer, con tinues to amaze and puzzle his beholders—indeed, he is a mystery, and may, with his companion Kelly, bid defiance to any two members of the pro fession for general talent. Another member of the company (Mr. Leslie), by his make-up and clever acting and singing, has made for himself a lasting reputation, whilst, as the leading " bones " of this troupe, he nightly convulses the audience with laughter by his droll sayings.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, THURSDAY, May 20. Brief accounts of electoral troubles in the provinces eon-, inue to reach us. There has been a slight political lemonstration at Marseilles—the only wonder being that there has not been an outbreak at this place before. M. ;ambetta, who is standing with great chance of success for the Ist Paris circumscription, is like vise a candidate for Marseilles. Now, although aublic meetings are no longer allowed, private meetings, ,o which each of the audience receives en invitation to L dinner or ball, may yet be held. M. Gambetta was ?resent at one of these on Wednesday evening, and, on caving, the guests, strongly reinforced by the street mob, .ormed themselves into bands and prom?,naded the streets—of course singing the " Marseillaise." Several arrests were male ; but it does not transpire ;hat the crowd and the authorities came into :ollision. 11fore serious was the arf::ir in the Ando depart neat, which I mentioned yesterd,ly. It appears that some of the partisans of the rival candidates—MM. rereire and Guiraud—met in one of the Limon' corn mines and indulged in an angry alt.,rcation. One of the Cereireitcs insulted a Guiraudite, whereupon the latter •eplied with a couple of knife stal,s. Two individuals were wnundcil, one seriously. This is the " riot ttteuded with bloodshed," which we were at fir?,t led to suppose was a regular pitched battle. There have been slight disturbances likewise at Bourgcs and the Puy-de- Dome. Both these places arc in Central France, and the Aude is in the extreme South, so that the excitement ,lovers a good deal of ground. But whatever there may be to come, the riots hitherto have not been very formidable. Even the official who was so severely wounded at the Cirque Napoleon affair this day week is :toming round rapidly. There can now be no doubtthat these manifestations are purposely exaggerated by the authorities. The Aude tffair, for instance, in which one man was seriously injured, was represented by a semi-official paper to be a case of rivers of blood and hills of slain. All Paris was alarmed by the statement of " tumults in which knives were used, and several mortally wounded." The affair was really as I have described it. This exaggeration is not all. The report is industriously spread abroad that numerous French refugees London, Brussels, Geneva, and the Hague are holding themselves in readiness for a revolution. Of course this is pure fiction, invented to frighten the voters. Neither the refugees nor anybody else expect a revolution, or the iemi-official prints would not talk about it. This raising of the revolutionary phantom is not creditable to the Government ; but it is the old game, and it is very fageniously managed. The official papers publish two distinct editions. One, destined to meet the eye of Paris, :ontains nothing alarmist. But the other, which is sent off to the provinces, is full of the wildest and most fantastic legends. It is carefully distributed amongst the rustic voters ; and as carefully kept from the Paris voters, who would like nothing better than to ridicule it. It is very strange, but not less true, that, in the midst at this election excitement, the rumours of war are once more beginning to make themselves heard. For a long time the Paris newspapers have banished all alarmist reports. The election news was regarded with more interest ; and, moreover, the rumours would keep. The Bulgarian bands, triple alliances, movements of Ambassadors, and all that good old stock, would do just as well in June as in May ; and, moreover, they would come out fresh, and create excitement after a few months' calm. I fully expected to hear nothing of war preparations until after next Monday at the earliest ; but I have been disappointed. The reports have come up again ; and this time they are founded upon preparations which, to say the least, have a queer look. A military commission is about to try experiments with the convey:- ance and rapid disembarkation of horses on the Eastern railway. Then some other officials have been busying themselves with the calculation of the number of trains by day which will be required to rapidly transport so many troops to a given spot. There is like wise more gossip about the sailing of fleets and the like. The Bourse has been affected. It would be rash to place too hasty an interpretation on these reports. They have been spread abroad scores of times before, no doubt ; but at the same time there is a war party at Court who would be only too glad to persuade the Emperor to engage in strife, with the view of putting off the evil day when Liberal Reform will be the unanimous cry of the nation. The French ship Bretagne, which sailed from Buenos Ayres for Bordeaux on March 26, has been lost with the captain and several of the crew. The Emperor and Empress have paid a visit to Queen Isabella. The Gaulois says that the visitors communi cated some good news to the Queen, which gave her great satisfaction ; but though Paris wonders what this good news could be, it is very incredulous NAVAL LEAVE-TA KING. On Sunday, the 2nd instant, after the celebration of Divine service on board IL M. receiving ship Hibernia, at Malta, the officers and crew of the fl.igship Caledonia were addressed by Lord Clarence Paget, whose period of service as Commodore of the Mediterranean Fleet has expired. His lordship said "My lads it, is due to Captain Gardner, Commander Codrington, and your )fficers generally, that I should state to you my pleasure at being able to declare that this ship is in the highest ' state of discipline and efficiency. To thegood example shown by all the officers of the Caledonia this effect is due. Two years ago when I joined the ship I had reason to form great expectations of your conduct, and these have been fulfilled. I am anxious this should continue to be so. You are about to be paid off— ' to return to your homes—to be dispersed about the world, but I do entreat you for the short time you are together, keep up your discipline, preserve that bright character which you have won. Now we are about to part. It cannot be that men who have lived so long together can separate without some degree of feeling. I cannot shake hands with every one of you, but I wish you a very hearty fare- well. For some time, atleast, I shallbe unemployed ; but my heart and soul is in the navy, and there is not a man among you whom I shall not be glad to see, and shake hands with, should I meet him at home. Now good-bye ; and I entreat you again, whether on paying off, or on leave at home, don't forget your discipline or good conduct. See what it has done for you. You are an example to others ; foreign Ministers have sent complimentary letters to the Admiralty at home ; your officers are always coming to me with some plan for your benefit, so that by and bye men will be us well treated as officers. I wish you all suc cess—and a hearty farewell." The Malta Obscrrer says on this subject: "We feel sure that our readers will join us in asincere and public acknow lodgment of the merits of Lord Clarence Paget's very beneficial and successful naval administration. Lord Clarence Paget established the naval savings-bank sys tem, which has worked with perfect success. Lord Clarence Paget is the originator of the Contagious Disease Act'—popularly called at the time of its introduc tion, ' Paget's Outrageous Act'—and which has proved of such infinite advantage to the health of the services ; so much so that it is now proposed by members of both Houses to extend it to the metropolis and all corporate towns. The next improvement effected, and which to so me extent accounts for the unexampled good conduct of the different crews, is the establishment of the Royal Naval Canteen on a respectable and liberal footing, and which includes a library and reading-rooms, theatre, fives court, skittle-alley, and other sources of amusement-- to say nothing of the wholesome drinks wherewith to refresh the inner man. When Jack finds that his health and comfort are cared for even in this respect, he avoids being in vei g led into viciou and noth poisonous haunts that go against his honest grain. s A important step in the right direction that has conduced to - the welfare and the brightness and education of the boys and seamen of the fleet, is the summer cruise tak th en e Medi every year to the various ports of foreign co untries in t erra nean. Besides benefiting the health and ind of the cre ws by these travels, an excelleht opportunity was afforded to th e sailor of obtaining a knowledge of foreign ports, ships, and the manners, customs, and aptitudes of I different people." Whi!st the day for the opening of the election bal. lot in France is rapidly approaching, Paris is agitated by various rumours of polit'cal ehangeP. It is once snore af firmed that the Emperor will make an attempt to conciliate the electors by liberal concessions. It is confidently ex pected that a decree will al pear before Sunday announcing a reduction of the army, a change of Ministry, and the end of personal Government. It is stated with regard to the threatened strike at Oldham, that a ckputtation from the Optlativo Cotton Spinners' Association has waited upon the Trades' Council, and after fully explaining how matters etood, a resolution was unanimously come to that the president and secretary of the Trades' Council and the Operatives' Association should wait upon the masters, with a view of endeavouring to settle the matter in an amicable manner. As many conflicting accounts as to the Bishop of Salisbury's health have appeared in the newspapers, we (Globe) are asked to state that the disease from which ho lrts now been suffering for several months varies much from week to week; but at present there is no substantial change for the better, and it is at present entirely out of the queoo t should clAtick . of his Snial So far as the experiment has yet proceeded, the cruise of the Naval Reserve must be accounted a decided success. Correspondents writing "At Sea" declare that the men have taken to their duties with surprising quickness, and submit to the discipline of a man-of-war with very good grace. Admiral Dacres, indeed, has given his opinion of their seamanlike bearing in most favourable terms. "He never," he said, " saw a Eller body of men than was mustered on the Agincourt's quarter-deck, and he could not say which he liked best, the Reserve or the Coastguard." l‘lr. Childers, it is understood, is equally pleased with the trip, though the First Lord, like the other landsmen who have ventured on the expedition, has experienced some of the disagreenbles, if not the perils, of a seafaring life since his embarkation. It has been blowing hard, with a bitterly cold wind from the east. The scorning of the start was especially unpleasant, but, nevertheless, Mr. Childersand acseciates were determined rot to be daunted, and took their places on the poop of the Agincourt at four a.m. The fleet steamed out of the road in regular proces sion, the flagship of course leading the van with the Admiralty ensign flying. It is said that this cruise supplies the only instance on record in which a British fleet has been commanded at sea by a First Lord in person. On Sunday Mr. Childers attended Divine ser vice under circumstances that must have been•somewha.t novel to him. The process of " rigging church' is a brief one. The fire buckets are placed on deck, and capstan bars laid from bucket to bucket, forming the seats for the crew, while the officers have their own chairs. The pulpit is put together by the carpenter in about two minutes, and a harmonium is contributed by the officers. Hymns are sung, and the sermon is short and practical. The fleet is composed of vessels of very varying size, armour plating, and horse-power. Their speed, too, is yew different, and some of the faster vessels find it difficult to keep their appointed stations in the rear of their slower companions. The Duncan is the fastest ship, the St. George the slowest. The Trafalgar is the most venerable, having been launched more than thirty years ago as a three-decker, and since converted into a two decker, which greatly improved her sailing powers. rue ttal 1 via.) , B. st Bristol and Exeter ...... 100 at Caledonian ......... 103 at Cambrian 23 Cornwall all at Dublin & Belfast June lOO at Dun,..Vertb. & Ab•Juue ioo 21 East London all 10 1)0 16 21 Do 10 at Glasgow A S.

The Loniton correspondent of the Western Daily Press writes :—" A short time ago a general impression prevailed in the London clubs that Government would this session make a proposition to the House of Commons for an increase . of the income of the Prince of Wales. The grounds on which the proposition, if made, would have rested, were that the Prince and Princess were called upon to perform State duties, and were in consequence compelled to incur large expenses which their present income would not meet. Had such a proposition been made, there is no doubt whatever that it would have been carried, because few members of the House would have liked to have spoken in opposition to it. I believe, however, there will be no occasion now for such a vot:. I understand that arrange ments have been made by which tho income of his Royal Highness will bo increased by f: - oin if 15,000 to .£40,000 a year without the intervention c,f riia met, t. These arrange ments have been matte 14 her j •st y herseif, in considera tion of the impescd upon the Prince and Princess of Wnlcs by the a:ite of her M: jos'y's health and the com parative - r,t!re.ttent in w hich she is c, rnpell , ll to live. ller Majesty's virility to his Royal Highness is to dato rrom the corninencomet.t of t he present year." .NATIOY_IL SPORTS. The Deny favourites ere approaching a level in the betting. Pretender has lust ground a little, and Pero Gomez and Belladrum have advanced. 5 to 2 against the first-named did not meet with response on Wednesday. Pero Gomez, on the other hand, came to so short a price as 3 to 1, and was backed to the amount of `2OO, but the odds were still forthcoming after that support. Belladrum was not heavily invested upon, because 4to 1 was the highest figure. Bookmakers were, however, so very cautious that they refused to make the slightest advance upon those odds, and the only transaction which came under our notice in connection with the Russley horse was a bet of -q fifties which a gentleman laid by way of "hedging." With respect to the other candidates, there is very little doing. Perry Down is decidedly fourth favourite, 100 to 6 being the highest price. The training reports of all the three leading horses are very favourable. Belladrum keeps at his work, and looks and goes well. On Tuesday he did a mile and three-quarters, pulling up very fresh. Pretender keeps his form admirably. Pero Gomez has made very great improvement. On Wednesday he went two miles, part of the distance at a very great pace. The horse was in thebest of condition when the run was over. The " tout " thinks that Morns will not stay the Oaks distance. It is now finally arranged that Daley will ride Belladrum in the Derby. THE FATAL RIOT IX TRALEE. A Cork correspondent telegraphs the following particulars of the conflict on Wednesday at 13allybeigne :—" A party of intending emigrants were drinking with their friends, when a row took place amongst them. Three policemen endeavoured to keep the peace, and being resisted, they arrested two of the ringleaders. The people gathered round, and attempted to rescue them. The police tried to keep their prisoners. Stones and sticks were then brought into requisition, and the police were fiercely assailed. They endeavoured to take the prisoners to the barracks, when showers of stones compelled them to let them go. Constable Conway had his skull fractured, end was left prostrate on the road. The two others fled to the barracks, and were joined by another. They got their rifles, and sallied out to recapture the rioters, but were received with shouts of defiance. The fight was renewed with desperation. The police caught tho ringleaders and endeavoured to keep the crowd back with their side arms; stone throwing then became so terrible that they had to fire. John O'Hara, a re turned American, was shot through the left breast, and has since died. John Dunn was shot in the loft groin. Timothy O'Hara received a sabre cut in the arm. The police fled to the bamcks and the crowd pursued them. The police got in their prisoners, barred the door, and kept the people out. Constable Conway's life is despaired of. Constables Walsh and Fleming sustained several wounds. Reinforce ments of police were afterwards sent out." THE CRUISE OF THE NAVAL RESERVE. ANOTHER ATLANTIC STEAM RACE, Another remarkable race of 3,000 miles has been run across the Atlantic by two screw steamers, in this instance belonging to the same line. Like the celebrated trial of the Russia and the City of Paris, accidental circum sianccs concurred in bringing about a simultaneous start of the vessels from New York, and not a pre arranged plan of racing. The City of Baltimore left New York with the mails for Queenstown and L' ver pool on her regular day, Saturday, the 18th of May. A few weeks before another of Mr. Inman's splendid fleet, the City of Boston, met with an accident to her machinery when about to start, and the neces sary repairs having been made, was ready to start as an extra ship on the same day as the City of Baltimore. The City of Boston is about two years old ; the City of Baltimore is a much older v easel, being one of those which originally made the Inman line famous ; but within the last two years she has been fitted with new boilers and otherwise thoroughly repaired, so that she is in every re spect a first-class vessel. The City of Boston got away first, leaving her anchorage at 2.15 p.m. on the Bth, pass ing Sandy Hook at 3.55, and stopping at 4.15 to discharge pilot and examine the machinery. A few miles out side Sandy Hook, while she was thus stopped, the City of Baltimore, which had received her mails and passengers at New York at 2.26 p.m., and proceeded on her voyage, passed her at 4.36. Four minutes afterwards the City of Boston was also under weigh full speed, and the two vessels were in company during the rest of the voyage as far as the Fastnet Rock, which lies off the south-east coast of Ireland, between Cape Clear and Queenstown. This point was passed by the City of Boston at 5.50 p.m. on Monday, the 17th of May, eighteen minutes ahead of the City of Baltimore, which passed at 6.8 p.m. The latter vessel called at Queenstown, the City of Boston did not, and this &War will account for the City of Baltimore arriving at the Bell Buoy at the mouth of the Mersey two hours and ten minutes behind her sister ship and rival or the time being. Mr. Reverdy Johnson left London for Southampton on Thursday. The Liberals of Hereford on Wednesday celebrated the victories of November and March by a monster public d e monstration, the working men of the city having sub scribed to present the Liberal members ousted on peti tions with some substantial token of respect. Messrs. Clive :Mil Wyllie declined to receive anything of pecuniary value, and the presentatiow?, therefore, took the form of illurdnab d addresses, which were presented in the pre sence of several thous rid persons on a platform erected in front of the Shire Hall. After the presmtafon the Liberal electors, to the number of about 800, assembled at a banquet in the music room and corridors of the hall. Colonel Clifford (who represented Herefor d for 18 years, up to 1865) pre sided, and was supported by the e'en. Lord Say e and Sele, Sir William Wyllie, K.C.8., Mr. Chandos Wien Hoskyns, M.P., Colonel Edward Clive, M.P., Mr. M.

Since the great demand fur photographic lenses has di m inished, an opportunity has been afforded for app l y in g mechanical power with the greatest success, whereby the cost of these beautiful and most perfect instruments is reduced in price in some instances to as much as 20 per cent. In fact they are now no dearer than those of the best French or English makers. At the depot Aallaghan, 231, New Bond-street, corner of Conduit-street, the patrons of the Derby may indulge their taste in the possession of a veritable Voigtliinder at comparatively trifling cost. It is superfluous to say the quality is as ever matchless. RACING qXTURES.
