There is little doing in English Railway Shares, and prices in several instances are lower, includ ing Lancashire and Yorkshire, and Metropolitan, each, being quoted at 122/ to 123/ ; and 10 31 to 1031 respectively. Midland and South Eastern are also each / worse, the former being marked at 1151 to 1141 ; and the latter at 76 to 761 ; Caledonian is unaltered, at 78 to 781 ; Great Eastern, 371 to 371; Great Northern) A), 1081 to 109 ; Great Western 491 to 491; London and Brighton, 471 to 47i ; London, Chatham, and Dover, 17 to 171 ; and London and North-Wes tern, 1151 to 1151.

Operations in Bank Shares continue very limited, and the only movement in prices is a decline of 1 in London and County, the price being 49 to 50. Union of London is steady, at 35 to 36 ; Oriental, 421 to 43i ; London and Westminster, 621 to 631 ; Imperial, 16 to 17 ; Anglo-Austrian, 161 to 171 Psem. ; Alliance, 14 to 16 ; and Agra (A), 101 to 11. The dealings in Foreign Mining Shares are only nominal, and prices are without change. In Miscellaneous Securities the only feature is a decline of in National Discount, the price being 11 to 111; General Credit is steady, at 11 to 11 dis. ; International Finance, 2 to 11 dis. ; Anglo-Ame rican Telegraph, 221 to 224 ; and Hudson's Bay, 131 to 131. There were no gold operations at the Bank yes terday. The Glen Osmond, from Adelaide, South Australia, has brought £5,120. The increase of traffic of the Metropolitan Rail way is stated at £2,842. The traffic receipts on the Metropolitan District Railway represent £Bl6. 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, in whose hands, it is felt, the pending matters may be Safely left. In a letter published by Mr. Grosvenor Hodgkinson 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 afford the only means whereby the affairs of the company can be put straight. Apart altogether from legal difficulties it ia 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 rights of the various clainlaws, 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 pest than an ex-Lord Chancellor and first rate lawyer like Lord Cairns, and a nobleman of st atesmanlike breadth of view like Lord Salisbury. Considering the saving which may thus be effected in the cost of litigation, the advantage to be derived th roug h the attent i on of t h e di rectors 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 ; £ 1 per share on application, and £1 six months after allotment ; when subscribed the capital of the association will stand at £250,000, and £ 5O lOOO paid up, which the directors believe will be amply su ffi c i ent f or a ll present purposes. Th e business hes 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.

DESERTING A WIFE AND FAMILY. - Whiffin, carpenter, was brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt on a warrant charged with deserting and neglecting to maintain his wifo and three children, and leaving them chargeable upon the parial. of St. George, Hanover-square. Mr. F. A. Rogers, assistant clerk to the parish authori ties of St. George, Hanover-square, in opening the case, said that it was a very had one. The prisoner had de serted his wife and family, and they Lad been in the work house for above twelve months, and as there were aggra vating circumstances in the case he had to ask his worship to put the law in force against the prisoner, who, though in full work, had done nothing whatever for Lis wife and family. William Reader Turner, relieving officer of S. George, Hanover-square, said that the prisoner's wife and three children had been chargeable upon the parish since Feb. 18G8, in consequence of the prisoner deserting them. lie had made inquiries after the prisoner till lately, but had not been able to find him, but yesterday he succeeded in finding him at work at the Royal Academy, for a person in Bond-street. Mr. Tyrwhitt, after remarking on the prisoner's cruel conduct, committed him for a month with hard labour. THAMES. SANGUINARY FRAY.—Tionry Rill, aged 28 years, Thomas Wall, 2G, Mary Ann Bill, 25, and Lawrence Crawford, 29, were brought before Mr Bmiskni, clia ged with violently assaulting William Bloom, a police con stable, No. 50 K. It was reported last night and this morning that Bloom had died soon aPer his arriv,d in the hospital. At eleven o'clock Mr. Worsts, the superintendent of the K division, called at the hospital to make in quiries about him, and ascertained that he was stll alive. Last night at eight o'clock there was a disturbance in front of a public-house in Ratcliffe, and Bloom was endeavouring to quell the riot, and he was attacked by all the prisoners and a woman not in custody, and beaten in a terrible manner. He was repeatedly knocked down, and kicked about the head, face, ant body until he was insensible. Ile was carried to the hospital. lie has received a frightful scalp wound, and his face add body are covered with bruises and contusions. Mr. Benson remanded all the prisoners for a week. THE CHARGE AGAINST A BANK MANAGER. Yesterday Mr. Samuel Greenway Finney, the general manager of the late English Joint Stock Bank (Limited), in Clement's 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 been 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 MB. BENNETT OF FROME. The Church Association has failed in its attempt to get the second work of Mr. Bennett, onthesubjectof 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 ho had carefully considered the matters laid before him, and having examined the book said to have been published by the 11ev. Mr. Bennett within the diocese of London, he was of opinion that it was not a case in which he 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. Bennett.—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 judgment, 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 had 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 commie lion 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 eels aro reported to have caught much larger numbers, and, bnt 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 Philadelphia on the sth instant 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-"It is time that the bad should be made to feel the power of the law. It has been announced in the Police Courts of Lon don that in certain places in that city the Queen's writ will not run. The same remark may almost be applied to us. There are certain men in Phila delphia who cannot be brought to justice. They can beat down, almost murder our policemen, secure bail, and abscond until opportunity permits their return. Others take life almost w ith 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 ho:nieiles 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 sai I In the legal duel between 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. ' Criminal 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 death upou 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 in au occasional case of great atrocity, when a coavic 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 o 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 Rhode 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 liged to keep two Criminal Courts in almost con tinual session for three consecutive months- at a season when no less than 19 homicide cases have been 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 seeming 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 G's; $lO,OOO 5-20's of 1867; $21,000 5-20's of 1864; $4,0005-20'sof 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 Lone . Island per cent. bonds; $4,000 Philadelphia 6 1' 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 ; J 33,000 Pennsylvania War Loan ; $lO,OOO New ersey State G's ; $4,000 Pittsburgh 5 per cent. Cor poration bonds ; $32,000 Allegheny City 5 per cent. bonds; sl,ooo Camden City bonds ; $3 2 , 000 Schuylkill Navigation Ponds ; $15,000 North Pennsylvania Railroad 6 per cent. bonds ; $l,OOO No, tit Pennsylvania Hamad 7 per cent. bonds; $25,000 United States bon Is of 1881 ; $20,000 5-20 bonds ; $27.000 10-40 bonds ; $25,000 Phi- - ladelphia and Erie 6 per cent. bonds. It asides these, they had in the safe $12,000 in greenbacks and tome coin, which the robbers carried away with the s curities. The only bond left behind by the robbers wee a $l,OOO one, which was found on the floor. The burglary was effected in broad daylight, between six in the morning and six in the evening on a Sunday, an l the directors are blamed for not taking better precautions, the s ,fo offering peculiar facilities for the robbery. A watchman remained as a guard during the night, but be 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 Chesnut-street, and then down the stairway leading from Twelfth-street. Here it was discovered that the window opening on to this stairway had been prised open, and through this the President and other gentlemen 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 iu 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 of the finest steel was then brought to bear 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 Hon. 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 robbe r s' 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 we 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 one 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 junme created by the White Pine silver min-!s. Indeed some of the ledges in Grass Valley, considering how c,miparatively cheap it is to work the ore, are thought to pay as well. In answer to a resolution of the House of Repre sentatives, the President reports, that the number of ves sels captured by rebel cruisers during the wax was nearly 300, and their estimated value more than 513,000,000. Some time ago we gave a full list of every vessel taken by the privateers, from which any ono interested may calcu late what portion of the sum is likely to fall to England's share in liquidation. On the Bth inst. the decuments re lating to the correspondence on the Alabama Clelms 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 gratin to read on their summer tour. Hamilton and Kimpton (tailors, 105, Strand) wish their friends in the estates to know that the new goods are now ready, and orders by post will km strict attenticii by the firm. NOTICh.

The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Bees Improvement Act, 1865, Amendment Bill, and the South Metropolitan Gas Bill wero 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 clauses to make the bill consistent with the provisions of the City of London Gas Act, 1868. Mr. MONCK seconded the motion. After a few remarks from Mr. S. CAVE and Mr. GOLD NE; Mr. YOUNG said ho had no objection in recommitting the bill. The Imperial Gas Bill was referred back to the com- mitten. EVIDENCE AMENDMENT BILL. Mr. DENMAN moved the second reading of this bill. Mr. S. HILL moved as an amendment that the bill be read a second time on that day six months. Sir R. P. COLLIER thought that au unanswerable case had been made out, and believed that the bill would have a beneficial effect iu obtaining evidence of truth. Sergeant Dowse, Mr Vernon Harcourt, and Dir. Amphett supported the bill, and the amendment was negatived without a division, and the bill was read a re;ond time. HOSPITALS, ac., RATING EXEMPTION BILL. Mr. WHEELHOUSE moved the second reading of this bill. Mr. GOSCIIEN opposed the amenchnent , oe the ground that if the hospita s were to be exempted from rates they would be asked to exempt schools, working men's insti tutor, ttc. Very many of the hospitals had considerable estates, and if they were exempted the effect would be serious. lir. SW-ATER-BOOTIE agreed with the objections raised by the right hon. gentleman (Dlr. Goseheu), ftn.l referred to the ease of St. Thomas's Respite), Which WRP very important and rich institution. After a few observations from 'lift . . CAWLEY, Sir M. BEACH expressed his di termination to opliasso, he second reading of the bill, and spoke until a qusrter to x, wen by the rules of the house, the debate was postponed. The house 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, llenry V. Poor, John W. Chandler, and James Dupel, most of whom, with other gentlemen, will address the meeting. It will devote itself to resumption of specie payments, reform in the civil service, the negotiation of reciprocity treaties, and hostility to class legislation, as well ad to Doming a re. duotion of duties a imports.
