The return from the - Bank of England, made up for the week ending the 7th instant, is of a rather unsatisfactory character. Owing to the late remit tances of bullion to the continent and the absence of Australian supplies, there is a diminution of over half a million in the stock of the precious metals. The reserve of noses has also been lessened to the extent of half a million, and the private securities, owing to the preparations made for the commercial payments of the fourth of the month, show an augmentation of about a quar ter of a million sterling. The Public Deposits have been trenched upon to the amount of four hundred thousand pounds sterling, and the Private Deposits also show a slight reduction. The active circulation, owing to the gradual improvement of trade, showsa slight increase. In the other items of the balance-sheet there is little alteration re quiring special report ; they will be seen in the subjoined table : A.ctive circulation Increase Bullion Decrease 529,790 Rest ; ; Increase 37,544 Public deposits Other deposits Decrease 400,199 Decrease 46 323 Seven-day and other bills Increase "verument securities Increase Other s ecur iti es F 16,685,445 Increase Notes unemployed Decrease There is direct evidence in the returns both of the Bank of France and the Bank of England, of increased commercial demand for money. The supply of bills has largely augmented, and as, concurrently with the movement, the ad 7i9es relative to trade have become satisfac tory, there is every reason to believe that mercantile affairs are steadily progressing towards a recovery. During the last few days the inquiry f or accommod a ti on h a s slightly relaxed, but there 18 Still a fair amount of discount business among th e bankers, and although the terms have receded t 2 i per cent. they are likely to advance when ever the applications becoMe rather more nume rous. There was a further withdrawal yesterday from the Bank of 30,0001. in gold. No one seems able to state the object for which these exports of the Precious metals are intended, but it is imagined they ar e en account of some large financial opera tion with one of the foreign States. The decline in the bullion, yiz., 529,7901., has taken many by surprise, being much more than was anticipated. When any of the Australian auPPlies arrive, some curiosity will be evinced to learn whether they will be all absorbed for remit tances to the continent. According to the advices received yesterday, the rate of exchange at New York for bills drawn upon England was 109 k, show ing an advance, but a further upward movement is required to stimulate the exportation of gold. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday exhi bited a very steady appearance, and prices of all kinds were without any material alteration. The sales were estimated at 5,000 bales, 1,000 of which were taken cn speculation and for export. Since Monday last the imports of specie have been about 51,2031., and the exports 92,744/., ex clusive of the following shipments direct from Lon don to the Continent during the week endir Thursday Goiet Coin.

Ihe clueing, which would knife or dirk. have probably b ee n fastidi o usly cr it ic i se d at her Majesty's Theatre, was vociferously applauded, and the company, unsated, at once rushed off to the Marionette Theatre, wading ankle-deep all the way in the new gravel which had been most carefully laid down in anticipation of moonlight and dry weather. Mr. Hugo Vamp was in great strength, and commenced business with an occasional address in which the names of the patrons and patronesses were poetically introduced, and which, being de livered with that impressive although slightly spasmodic gesticulation for whicu tins welt-known stage manager is remarkable, elicited several dis tinct rounds of applause. The members of his com pany were then successively introduced, and each gave a specimen of his or her quality. Lady Mac beth tore a passion to tatters with a refreshing amount of vehemence ' • the tenor san g a song , an d the dancers pirouetted with a perseverance which performers of a higher order of vitality would have found it difficult to imitate. This last portion of the introductory performance was loudly cheered, but the classic burlesque which followed a propos of the love affairs of Paris and Helen was not at- 1 tractive enough to keep the company. Juno me t wits an untoward accident in being suddenly drawn up to the roof in the midst of an iusinueting address to the Judge of Beauty, and consequently escaped the pain of seeing the apple given to her rival. There was then a rush to the circus, with plenty of rain as before the whole of the distance, and even when the company thought themselves seated out of harm's way, a succession of heavy drops from the roof warned them that their har bour of - refuge had not been constructed for that special occasion. But they had come to be amused, and they were resolved to be so. They cheered with astonishing resolution, threw bouquets to the tight-rope dancer, and waited patiently until the last cavalier bad retired from the sawdust, and the last master of the ring had made his last bow a la Widdicornb to his distinguished ad mirer.g. The dancing came next, for fireworks would have been an impossibility, and as the Chinese pla'form was under - water, the ballet theatre was cleared for the dance, and was soon filled with dancers who whirled abut with a vigour which could not have been surpassed by the regu lar habitues of Cremorne. , The gentlemen wore their hats and the ladies their bonnets, and altoge ther it was difficult to realise that this was a select fete to which only the creme de la creme were ad mitted on production of voucher and payment of half-a-guinea, and not the ordinary gathering of Smith, Brown, Jones, and Robinson, which makes Cremorne the jolliest place in town on the regular nights. It is fortunate that, however weather may have interfered with the enjoyment of the guests, it did not prevent the receipt of a large sum of Money applicable to the charities on whose behalf the fete was originated. Neither, it is to be hoped, will Mr. Simpson be much the loser. We were in formed that after all expenses there would be up wails of 1,0001. applicable to charitable purposes. Amongst the visitors were the Duchess of Cam bridge and the Princess Mary, and the following distinguished personages, who however include but a very small portion of the company :—Earl and Countess Hardwicke, Lady Elizabeth York, Lady Agnes York, Viscount Ingestre, Viscountess Ingestre, Viscount Canterbury, Lord Ravens worth, Viscount Ranelagh, Lady Charlotte Eger ton, Lord Hervey, Earl St. Germans, Sir Ralph and Lady Howard, Earl and COuntess of Shrews bury, Marquis and Marchioness of Lothian, Hon. William and Mrs. North, Lord Ernest Bruce, Lord Brougham, Hon. Arthur Russell, Right lion. W. Beresford, Count Palffy, Mr. Tubbs, Mr. Byng, M.P., Lord and Lady Villiers, Colonel and Mrs. Darner, Capt. Bathurst, Hon. Edward Leigh, Hon. Mr. and Mrs. Ashley, the Master of Lovett, sic. It is almost needless to add that admirable order was preserved throughout, and that the police did their duty with their usual tact and efficiency, A REMARKABLE FRENCHMAN. A letter from Monte Video, of May 29, brings in telligence of the death of a remarkable FrenchmanM. Rime , Bonpland, the naturalist, wh o di e d a f ew days previously at San Borja, at the age of 85. M. Bonpland was born at Rochelle in 1773. Ile wiLs the son of a phriic;rn, and wi.s &nought up to his father's peeiession, but the political events of the early republic compelled him to enter the navy. He made a long cruise as a naval surgeon, but took the earliest opportunity of returning to Paris to pursue his studies. There, at the house of M. Corvisart, be made the acquaintance of a young , German of about his own age, who afterwards be came known to the world as the celebrated Alex ander de Humboldt. These young men became in timate friends, and when M. de Humboldt under took his expedition to the equinoctial regions of the new world, M. Bonpland accompanied him. During this journey M. Bonpland collected and classed upwards of six thousand plants, which were then unknown to botanical writers. On his re turn to Fiance he presented his collection to the Museum of Natural Hisery, and received the thanks of Napoleon who granted him a pen , ion. The Empress Josephine was very fond of Bonpland ; she made him her factor at Mal maison, and often sowed in her gard-n there flower seeds which'he had brought from the tropics. After the abdication at Fontainebleau, M. Bon pland urged the Emperor to mire to Mexico te. observe events. A few weeks after tendering this fruitless advice he sat by the death-bed of Josephine and heard her last words. Her death and the de finitive fall. of the empire leaving him nothing to desire in France, he returned to South America, and became a professor of natural history. az Bueuos Ayres.. Subsequently he travelled across the Pampas, the provinces of Santa Fe, Chaco, and Bc.livia, and p ene t ra t e d t o t h e foot of the Andes. Being there taken fora spy, he was arrested by the Governor of Paraguay, and was de tallied a prisoner for eight years till 1829.. On his release he directed his steps towards the Braz , ls, and settled at San Bo! ja, where in a charming but humble retreat, surrounded by orange groves and European shrubs, he remained to the day of his death, receiving with pleasure all French travellers who visited him. lie was the author of (among other works) " Les Plantes Equinexales" (1805), " La Monographie de Melastones' (1806), " D scription des Plantes rares et de la Malmaisoß" (1813), " Vire des Cordilleras et Monuments Indi genie de l'Araerque" (1819), and (jointly with M. de Humboldt) " Voyage aux Regions Equinoxales du Nouveau Con tin ent."

AN AWFUL RISK. I A slide occurred on the railroad which winds along the gorge between Lewiston and Suspension bridge (Niagara Fails), on Friday evening last, under circumstances which cause one to realize how constant and imminent are the perils of travel by rail, even under the most favourable circuasstauces. This road, for most of the distance, is on the very brink of the gorge, in some places hundreds of feet above the river ; sometimes inserted into the per pendicular ledge, with large masses of rocks sus pended fearfully over the track. At a point about midway between the Falls and Lewiston where the track lies about 200 feet above the river, and where tie descent is nearly perpendicular, nearly 70 feet of the roadbed slid off. The cob-house, perpendi cular wall, no broader at the base than at the top, which was relied upon to make things safe, began to give way (as the track master assured me) nearly or quite a week before. The giving out of the whole structure had been looked upon as certain fOr some time, and yet cars filled with passengers continued to be drawn at least twice a.day. Such reckless ness is without a parallel in railway management. A gentleman, who was too late for the train, started to walk that evening over the. track from Lewis ton to Suspension-bridge. It was he who first discovered the slide, but be came within a hair's breadth of going down the chasm himself. Not dreaming of anything of the sort, be walked to the very brink before he discovered, by the dim light of the moon, the feadful state of the case. Another step and it would have been the last of him. Fortunately, he caught a glimpse of the "yawning gulf. His retrograde movement was both a timely and rapid. The slide bad probably t a k en plat©im short ed 't'itmdeY onthe passing sinthge over of the train rocks wer e th en tumbling and crashing into the abyss, an d th e b before, gentleman felt sensibly the earth giving way under his feet as he sprang back. No mortal can tell how near total destruction and total annihilation that train of cars came. Its own weight and motion doubtless started the avalanche. Its speed—an instant of time—a finger's weight --may have been all that stood between eternity and every soul on board. But the train did pass, the pleasure-seek ing passengers all unconscious of the danger they had escaped. And yet for days previous the trains had been exposed to this danger, and an officer in charge of the road assured me that• he knew it. When informed at the office at Suspension-bridge that a slide had occurred they knew precisely where to locate it, and said t , ey had been expecting it for a week, nod still had been sending out trains each way twice a-day all the while. Words cannot ex press the culpability of those in immediate autho rity. A presentation by the grand jury of Niagara County will probably attempt it. —New York Times, June 24. The report and the flash were almost simul taneous. The engine driver and stoker felt them selves wrapped round in a sheet of blue flame—the stoker experiencing a shock on the back of the head, which for a time r endered him insensible. Every person in the train felt the shock, those who were nearest to the door on the off side more so than the rest, the lightning having the appearance of run ning along the rail on that side. One of the pas sengers, Mr. B. Hicklin, in the commission of the ream) for the borough of Wolverhampton, was struck upon the right arm and knocked to the op posite side of the carriage in which he was riding. The guard, H. Rixam, was standing up in the train at the time, apply.ieg the brake. He ap pears to have sustained the greatest shock. In an instant his whole system was paralysed. On arriving at the station, however, at Deepti.dds, he was enabled to stigger out of his van, with the intention of attending to his duties. The station- master there found him reeling as though drunk, SHOCKING OCCURRENCE.—On Th ers d a y a b u ll oc k, with his hand to It's head, and held him up , which had become separated from a drove near the If he had not done so, Rixam would certainly have fallen off the platform upon the line.

OXFORD UNIVERSITY COMIISSION.—The report of this commission just issued chiefly refers to the question of fellowships. The commissioners have regarded it as an essential part of their duty to insure that fellowships shall be determined, generally, by the personal merits and fitness of the successful candidate, and not by acci dents of birth or locality. They have therefore provided for the total abolition of such preferences, except in the care of two colleges to which they were prepared to add St. John's, the peculiar c:renmatances of these colleges appearing to warrant a difference of constitution. The two in which prefer ences continue to exist are New College and Jesus Col lege. It would appear that the authorities of St. John's College made a proposal, which the commissioners re fused, as calculated to secure to the college the odious character of a "close" institution. They accordingly adhered to their previous decision, which will be carried Out, IPIATROPOLITAN BOARD OF WO.RICB.. The ordinary meeting of the Metropolitan Board of Works was held yesterday in Ale Council Cham ber, Guildhall—Mr. J. Thwaites in the chair. The financial statement for the week showed general balance of 97,918/. 4s. 3d. THE STATE OF THE RIVER THAMES ---THE USE OF LIMB FOR TILE PURPOSES OF DEODORISATION. Mr. BAZALGETTE, the engineer, read the follow. ing report on the arrangements he had made in pursuance of the resolntion of the board as to deo dorising the c sntenfs of the principal sewers:— " " NO.l,.Greek-street, Soh o „T u l y 8. Cl-ent lemons Immediately upon the poising o f th e re. solution I proceedel to make arrangements for deodorising the sewage discharged from 40 of the Main sewers by pre cipitation with lime, as recomiended in my report of the 2Sth " On the following morning, five or six were being th us deodorised by th e admixture of ' ground lime, and the next day the process was going on at 40 of the main outlets. Large vats have since been constructed, and are being used as rapidly as they sun be made in order to substitute the milk of lime for ground lime at all these sewers, this being the most advantageous mode of application. Lime has hitherto been supplied to the board in small quantities, under the jebbing contracts, at 17s. 6d. per yard, but, considering that, such large supplies should be obtained upon the most favourable terms, I obtained fresh tenders from thirteen respectable and well-known lime merchants, land from the two jobbing contractors, which I herewith submit to the board. " I have now to report that about 1,000 tons of lime have been used in the sewers at a cost of about 8001., and that to continuo the process in full operation during the hot weather will cost about 1801. per day, but this sum may be reduced during and after rains or a fall of tera perature. The operation has been attended with consider ! able success, and its effect upon the river must be bens ! finial. lam now making some experiments upon several other modes of disinfection in order to ascertain whether any - more economical means of, obtaining the same object can be applied, and I shall be prepared to report the result to the board at a future day.—l have the - honour to be, , sir, &c., Ott the motion tha j t . th W is . B r TE received, report be Engineer." e Mr. Deputy HARRISON wanted to know how long this usc, or lime was to be continued, at a cost of 1831. a-day, which was to be paid for entirely by the metropolitan ratepayers, and for which they only derived a very partial benefit. - Mr. 13AZALOETTE recommended _that the- lime should be continued for the present, or during the hot weather, as the lime was put into the sewers, and from them it flowed into the Thames. Mr. LESLIe hoped they would hear what one of the greatest chemists of the present day—Dr. Hof man—said upon this subject. He said :—" The several processes submitted to us for deodorising sewage into a manure by means of lime, by the use of Stothert's and Gotto's mixture, by filtration through charcoal, and by shaking with zharcoal, all fulfil to a certain extent the office for which they were proposed. At the same time, it is found that- These several processes leave a large quantity of putrescible organic matter in solution, which, espe cially in hot weather, is apt to undergo decompo sition, and to give rise to the generation of effluvia of the mot offensive and dangerous character; and we believe that the erection of works in the 1113Mem diate neighbourhood of the metropolis for the deo dorisation of the London sewage might prove very prejudicial to the health and comfort of the in habitants of London, and that in the event of the establishment of such works, the fluid run off from the sewage depot, if discharged into the Thames in the vicinity of London, might very seriously affect the river." Mr. Deputy HARRISON would not consent to this enormous outlay only from week to week. Mr. HARRIS said the Thames was as bad now as it was before this immense cost f.r wa3 ineu red. Mr. DorrrfroN s 11l a wort; useless expenditure 111. d ..ever been incurred by the board. Mr. PHILLIPS said a cheinivt examined before a committee of the House of Commons said that for every ton of lime thrown in, it caused four tons of deposit, and therefore it became a v.;ry serious matter to consider whether such a process should be continued. Mr. PECKETT hoped the process would not be dis continued until it bad had a fair trial. Mr. PALMER wanted to know if this lime thrown in would purity the river ? Mr. BiZAIG - ETTE said it would be beneficial, but it would not purify the river altogether. After some further discussion, it was agreed that the process should be continued for another week, the engineer then to report to the board upon its cost and efficiency, and to make recommendations • for the future. After a long discussion, it was determined by a majority of 21 to 14 to purchase Berkeley-house, Spring-gardens, as a site for the offices of the board. Some other business was disposed of, and the board adjourned. THE METROPOLITAN BOARD AND THE PROPOSILD NEW OFFICES. At the weekly meeting of the Vestry of St. Pan cras, held at the Court-house, C am d en -t own , Mr. Churchwarden Attenborough having been elected to the chair, Mr. ECIIETT, member for S'. Pancras at the Me tropolitan Board, called attention to a scheme on foot at the MetropOlitan Board, to erect offices and a board-room for the Board on the site at Spring gardens, forming the east side of the passage into Birdcage walk. Upon entering into a guarantee to spend 15,000/. on the erection of the building they were to have the lease for 10 years, at 5001. per an num, and after tioat period for 99 years, at 3501. per annum. The probable outlay to begin with would be over 20,000/., which he thought monstrous, when it was not known how soon the Metropolitan , Board might be snuffed out altog ether. Mr. FURNISS moved a resolution condemning such a contemplated 'outlay by the Metropolitan Board, instead of attending to, and providing a remedy for, the pestiferous state of the Thames, which was the principal object for which they were appointed. He denounced the Metropolitan Board as a set of incompetents, and declared that since they had been in office, hey had done nothing but create places, and call upon the ratepayers to pay for their extravagance. Mr. J. BAKER seconded the motion. Mr. WILKINSON, the other member of the Metro- politan Board, said he was quite certain that for the benefit of the ratepayers of the metropolis the Metropolitan Board ought not to be beholden to the City, or remain one hour longer bolding their meetings at Guildhall. It placed them in a false position, and subjected their acts to all sorts of misconception. At the same time he doubted the propriety of building their new offices at Spring. gardens, when they had sufficient freehold ground at Greek-street. Mr. Hunsox c msidered, instead of the Metropoli tan Board building a palace, they ought rather to be erecting a mausoleum—(laughter) —for the latter was the place they were soonest likely to requite. They had done so little for the main drainage, for which they were appointed, that the sooner they ceased to meet the better. Mr. Ross could not understand what there wag in the atmosphere of Guildhall that Mr. Wilkinson and the hoard wished to get out of it. The Com mon Council and citizens bad always been the friends of liberty and of local 'self-government. • So far, however, from censuring the Metropolitan Board, they were entitled to a debt of gratitude for refusing to sanction all the schemes which Were desired to be rushed into for the purification of • the Thames. They had thus saved the metropolis' millions of money. (Hear, hear.) Mr. BRETTINGETAM also defended the Metropo litan Board for not sanctioning utopian schemes, and moved an amendment, leaving out any coa ct-lunation for not proceeding with the purification of the Thames. Mr. Churchwarden CA MERON S e cond ed theamencl ment, and it was carried by a large majority, and ordered to be forwarded to the Metropolitan Board. TSB LATE . BOILER EXPLOSION AT M.ANCIIESTEI-:. MANCHESTER, FRIDAY. The adjourned inquiry into the cause of this distressing occurrence was resumed this morning before Mr. E. Herford, city coroner, and the jury previously sworn, at the Coroner's Court, Ridge- Mr. Hee solicitor, again attended to watch the inquiry on behalf of Messrs. Sharp, Stewart, and Co., the proprietors of the Atlas Works. Mr. J. C. Forsyth, brother of the deceased manager, was present again, as also were several members of the firm. The inquiry being one of g reat interest, several engineers were present, professionally and other wise. The court was crowded. The evidence given waaentirely of a professional kind, Mr. Fairbairn and other engineers being examined. From their testimonY it appeared'that there had been no neglect or want of skill in the construction of the boiler, or the management of the engine. There Was stated, however, to be a defect of str ngth in the exploded p l ate, arisingfrom the presence of pitches of inferior iron in its body, which could not be seen before breakage,' Mr. Fair bairn, in reference to this, said—." ln explana tion of such defect .of manufacture, we have only to relent() the acknowledged difficulties which iron makers have to encounter in rolling plates of large . dimensions.
