The directors of the North British Railway Com- Play have issued a statement to their shareholders with regard to the Joint Purse Agreement with the Caledonian Company. They charge the Caledonian Company with not having fairly carried it out, and with having combined with the North-Western Ce mPally to injure the North British. Und e r the circumstances, as the Caledonian Company have declared the agreement to be illegal, and " while declining to be bound by its provisions have appro pri (ted to themselves its principal benefits," the directors of the North British advise their share holders do adhere to it no longer, but to take such st eps as counsel may advise to recover from the Caledonian Company the " just proportion of the Joint traffic receipts falling to the North British Corapany for the year to the 31st of January, Meanwhile, they will not eater into com petition by adopting unreinunerative fares, but will seek on equal terms to secure their proportion of traffic.

On Saturday a three-ad adaptation of M. Say don's play " Seraphine," by Mr. Dion Beueicault, was produced here. There seems to have been some unpleasantness between the management and his highness, the adaptor, as the following very singular announcement was made :—" Notice— Mr. Boucicault has requested the management to withdraw his name from the bills, as he does not de. - sire - to assume the responsibility of certain altera tions and additions made by the performers in the piece in his absence from all rehearsals. The alte rations considered necessary in the course of the rehearsals have been retained with the full approval of the management. —E. J. YOUNG." Toe piece under any circumstances belongs to a class that does not greatly please the metropolitan play-goers, and although it is attracting all Paris to the Gymuase, it will not have the same effect in London. Bigamy has alteady been over-done on the metropolitan stage, and although " Seraphine" has many other good points about it, the play one that will hardy pay the expense and labour of its production. The plot in the present ir,stance turns upon the embarrassment of a lady, who, thinking her first husband dead, marrie: again, and Just as her daughter, by the second in =Lige, is verging into Wc.manhood the first husban 1, an admiral, turns up, and then the desire of the despairing mother is to conceal the terrible knowledge of her second marriage from her first husband, and to prevail upon her daughter to ba eome a nun, in which task she fails. Miss Herbert and Mr. Hermann Vezin supported the principal parts in the play, and acted splendidly. Miss 11. Hodson, a great favourite here, also played remark ably well ;so did Emery and Mr. C. Wyndham. But the tone of the drama did not suit the audience, and therefore its success was but very partial. There were, however, portions of the play which called forth loud applause, and although the man age:milt has placed it ou the stage in the mos complete and liberal manner, its run does not pro. mitre to be a long one. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COUR7—(7his Day' OLD COURT. Francis Burke, an Irish tailor, was indicted for unlawfully and maliciously assaulting Cornelius Handlcy and inflicting grievious bodily harm. Prom the ev id ence i t ap p eare d that the prisoner and prosecutdr were tailurs, and that a short time ago they met in the neighbourhoid of Smith field, a quarrel ensued, and a fight took place. On the friends of the two men interfering, the prisoner, it was asserted, hel l tho prosecutor very tightly, and when he was separated from Burke it was found that his lip had been bitten off. The surgeon, at St. Bartholomew's Hospital said marks of some rersons teeth were plainly visible in the wound. .A. city police-constable was called as a witness, but his evidence went to show that the prosecutor was not free from blame, as he had previously seen him in company with the prisoner, and heard him use very bad language to wards him. He did not think, when the men were separated, any very severe injury had been in flicted. For the prisoner it was contended that he did not nilict the injury, but that it had been done by a 'all. he jury found the prisoner guilty, and the Re corder sentenced him to four months' imprisonmen with hard labour. NEW COURT. The court was occupied the whole of the day with a case of embezzlement. The prosecution of the defendants, the manager and proprietors of the " Deptford Spec," has been fixed for Thursday. POLICE INTELLIGENCE'.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH -STREET. WANTON CRUIILTY.—Henry Jenner, a drayman, ap peared to answer a complaint of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals with wantonly ill-using a horse. The defendant was seem by a constable in Davies-street with a horse attached to a van. He was holding the horse with his left hand and thrashing it severely for some time, and he afterwards jobbed the horse several times on the Lose with the butt-end of his whip—his only reason for doing so being that, through his own carelessness, the horse had run against another. Mr. Tyrwhit:c in fining the defendant 405., said the de fendant was a paltry fellow, who because he could not put his spite on some one he ill-used the horse. THAMES. AN INCORRIGIBLE POT STEALER.—Sarah Murphy, an Irishwoman, was charged with staling a quart pot value 45., the property of Mr. Henry Page, landlord of the Coach and Horses public-house, in High-street, Shadwell. The prisoner went into the house with a baby she was suck ling. She called for half a pint of boer, and after she had drank it quietly left the house unobserved. A quart pot was missed directly afterward; and she was followed and overtaken. A quart pot was found under her shawl, and she declared some one had put it there, and that she knew nothing at all abont it. She now protested that she was innocent, and that she was a respectable hard-working woman. Unfortunately for her assertion a police-constable, No. 408 K, said she had been repeatedly convicted of pot stealing, and oc the last occasion she was sentenced to threo months' imprisonment and hard labour. The Prisoner—l was innocent. Every time they swore falsely against me. This blessed baby is as innocent us myself. - Mr. Benson—The baby is not charged with robbery. The summary convictions have not deterred you from committing these robberies ou licensed victuallers, who suffer greatly by this system of plunder, and you are now committed for trial. WESTMINSTER. ALLEGED UNGRATEFUL RETURN.--JarneS Dell, a young man, was placed at the bar charged with stealing Gs. under sin;; War circumstances. Mr. Edward Jacobs, 157, Bro upton-road, sail that pri soner was in his service as assistant florist. Prosecutor was from home yesterday, and upon his return his brother it,brmed him that prisoner was conducting himself in a very odd way. Prosecutor demanded au explaus tion, and prisoner then said that he had sold a gentleman ts. worth of flowers on Friday and had to send change fur half a sovereign received fur theta on Monday morning. He admitted that he had not entered it in the order book, and subsequently said that he had put it iu the cash book, where it was found, evidently added after the whole sum was reckoned up, and making an excess of Gs. All this was untrue, he had sold the flowers and received the money yesterday. He was remanded on bail. .Lt re tial I wayb st Bristol and Exeter lO ? 77 79 at Ustettorn.r. ... lO3 771 7sl 771 1 Corn ail 21 .1 •; Dublin ac Bell3st 11. 0 st bun„rcrth,& Ab.J unc 'JO 70 72 2 , East London .. 40 00 Do 10 41 Glasgow aS.

FLORENCE, May 3 In to-day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies the debate on the revenue estimates of 1869 commenced. Signor Ferrari stated the programme of the Pied montese party, of which he is the leader. Its prin cipal points are—liberal Government, strict admi nistrative economy, and the firm maintenance of the national as r drations. The ini,sion of the party of action he said had entirely ceased, any Parlia ment was now the sole source of the national strength and initiative. Count Catnbray-lligny, Minister of Finance, de monstrated the necess:ty of a strong and compact majority for the execution of the Ministerial pro gramme. 'the Minister strongly insisted upon the inviolability of engagenim's with public crelitors. Liquid ttion or a conversion of the public debt would be tantamount to bankruptcy. Signor Ferrari said that it was the intention of his party resolutely to support the Government, without, however, implyiag that they approved of all its past .msasures. lie concluded by propos ing that they should pass to the order of the day, consisting of three paragraphs. The first two de clared that the Chatnber is persuaded, that the nation wishes for tho greatest union and concord in Parliament in order to ensure the restoration of the finances to a sound condition by strict economy and a better organisation of. taxation ; the Charn byr is convinced that the firm maintenanc) of these principles will insure a national and orderly de velopment of Constitutional liberty. These two paragraphs were voted unanimously. The third paragraph was' as follows:--The Chamber, h tying heard the declaration of the Mini stry, is confi lent that the Cabinet will conduct the public Mininistration in that sense, and passes to the order of the clay. On a division, this para graph was adopted by IGB ayes against 20 noes ; 77 members of the L ;ft abstained from voting. FRANCE. BourbsE, May 3.—Three;o'clock—The markc closed as follows : q per Cent.

The Belgian dimeul y has at length been settled, or rather:the preliminaries of settlement have been arranged. The French Government withdraws its demand for the ratification of the leases, and the Belgian Government undertakes to provide a thoroughly efficient system of international traffic. Trains arc to be run through France to Belgium in charge of French officials the whole of the way, fares are to be lowered, &c. A commission of six is to be appointed to arrange the details. This is a clear victory for Belgium, for the French Government has shifted its ground, and given up the leases by which it set so much store. But in some quarters it is said that the Belgians are much dissatisfied with the arrangement, and the Pots, in its blustering style, de. dared that the Brugsels Senate would not ratify the treaty. But the Pat,* informs us that no treaty has been signed, but only a protocol, which will not require the ratification of the Senate. The Belgians seem to have thought that the negotiations ought to have been broken off without making any concessions what- ever. Put it is dangerous dealing in this way with a powerful neighbour like France. Assuredly M. Fr2•re- Orban has managed the matter well, and has in no way compromised the honour of his country. There is nothing particularly new to report respecting the elections, save abundance of rot very trustworthy speculation as to the result. M. Thiers, who is a candi date both for Paris and Marseilles, is vehemently opposed by the Government at both places. At Marseilles, as I have said before, M. de Lesseps, of Suez Canal fame, will stand in the interest of the Government, though not precisely as an official candidate. Ile will prove a formidable opponent. At Paris M. Thiers will be combatted by M. Devinck, a highly respectable mediocrity, who at first declined to oppose the great orator. It seems, however, that the authorities have persuaded him. The defection of the Constitutionnel is still the topic of the day, but nobody seems to know the exact motive which has led to this important going over to the enemy. One thing is certain. It is not a design of the Government to secure votes for moderate men against the ultras. That the desertion has caused the greatest irritation in administra tive spheres is attested by the most conclusive evidence. The cashier epidemic has taken rather a remarkable turn. The cashier of the Convent of Prdmontres, esta blished near Vilvorde, in Belgium, has absconded with all the funds belonging to the institution. It is not stated what the sum is, but, notw:thstanding the poverty of con vents, the affair is so serious that the Pope's Nuncio has gone to investigate it on the spot. There is yet another case of the epidemic. M. T-, agent d'affaires, receiver of rents, and steward to several considerable properties, has vanished with more than a million of francs. The Duc de B-, the hero of the famous bonbon story, is the principal sufferer. Ho loses many thousand pounds. Another and still more serious crime is becoming alarm ingly frequent, at least in France. Scarcely a week passes without the discovery of some wretched woman who is in the habit of gaining her livelihood by the viola tion of the most sacred duty of her sex. A little while ago a case was tried in which the principal offender was a woman who regularly practised the arts of child murder and abortion. No less than six instances of one or the other offence were brought forward at the trial. When the woman was sentenced, she bad the impudence to inform the court that " they did not know all." This week a mid wife, named Garet, has been tried in the Drome department for procuring abortion in the case of two young women. She pleaded not guilty, and conviction was secured only by one of her victims turning evidence. She was sen tenced to five years' imprisonment. Cases of ordinary murder cannot be foreseen or guarded against, but this traffic in child-murder and abortion, which is clearly very common in the South of France, ought to be provided for. Salutary examples, at least, might be made of those offenders who are discovered. Hitherto comparatively light sentences have been inflicted. The velocipede is clearly destined to accomplish a social revolution. Notwithstanding Mr. Lowe's playful satire in his Budget speech, the Frerch and Americans seem determined to supplant the horse by these machines, and even the tradition-loving Spaniard has not escaped the influence of the mania. We are now informed that the velocipedes are to take the place of horses at the Madrid bull-fights ! No doubt they will be successful in a certain sense. A charge on a. velocipede is well calculated to paralyse any bull, though if the animals do manage to get over the novelty of th e thing, the consequences may be awkward for the 6 r l,: er But how will the Spanish spectat ors regard thiP 66 d e r, r - t , . dation" of their national pastim e ? The weather here is remarkably hot for the season. Thunderstorms are very f r equent an'', destructive, remind ing one of the electric visitatirns of last autumn. At Creuilly, near Caen, durinr:, a violent storm, a woman was struck dead, and a man and a young girl seriously injured. At Amblie the electric fluid fell on the church, and demolished the steeple and part of the roof. In the commune of Cre-4eroms the lightning struck simul taneously a man nam....d Lauzen t and his wife and daughter, all at work in the 'lime woman was killed on the spA, the girl was seve rely wounded in the legs, and Laurent himself now lies in the last extremity.

There Lordships were engaged the whole of the early put of the evening in discus,in 3 the merits of the Sea Birds Preservation Bill, which eventually passed through committee, with a few unimportant amendments. HOUSE OF COMMONS. —Tins EVENING. The SPLAXER took the chair at twj o'clock. THE RIOT AT DERRY. Mr. 0. FORTESCUE, in answer to Mr. Johnson, said he must, be excused Loin giving any answer as to what, 6t3ps the Government intended to adopt with respect to the firing of the constabulary on the p eo pl e on the ccca sion of the visit of Lis Royal Highness Prince Arthur to Loudonferry. THE DOOKYARD EIIIGRANTS. Mr. MONSELL, in reply to Sir H. Verney, said the tax wou!d be remitted in favour of the emigrants, and the Governor-General would give all the fa,iiities possible, but nothing what.ever would b.) done to beceEt the dock yard artisans at the expense and comfort of others. THE ABYSSINAN WAIL Mr. CANDLISH asked the Chancellor of the Exclie quE,r if he had ascertained, and could now state, the total cost of the war with Abyssinia which will have to be paid by the United Kiugdom ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he bad stated. what was the sum estimated by Mr. Turner the Government agent in India, and that it would bo recol lect.•d was £6,800,000, but there would be charges he did not take into account.. lle had already stated that the total ho expected would be.£8,773,000,anl from matters that had since become known, he believe], in the end, that would be pretty nearly the correct amount. . THE MAYOR OF CORK. In reply to Mr. DAWS3N, The ATTORNEY-Gr&EttAL said he hud to state that the deplorable language attributed to the Mayor of Cork had been used by him on the occasion referred to. Before the hon. member had put the question on the paper, the Government had felt it their duty to institute inquiry into the matter. This language had been used, and whether the office of the Chief Magistrate of Cork could no longer in consistency with dignity be longer continued in their hands, was a matter the Executive Government nor the Lord-Lieutenant could determine, as neither had power to remove a person holding the office of chief magistrate. He therefore gave notice that to-morrow ho should ask for leave to intro duce a bill to disqualify the present Mayor of Cork &cut any longer continuing to fill the office of Mayor of Cork, or indeed any other office connected with t►ae magistracy, or any other position in Ireland. (Loud cheers.) It was right to Alto that the Government were of opinion that this was the more necessary, be cause by the Municipal Charter the Mayor of Cork could sit at the next assizes of oyer and terminer. To-morrow he would state fully the law on the matter, and a'so the reasons why the bill should receive the assent of the house. With respect to the latter part of the question as to the conduct of the people of Cork on Sunday evening, it would be most unjust to attribute the meeting to the inhabitants of the city of Cork, and it was, having regard to the num- Lens that attended it, unworthy any attention whatever. (Loud cheers.) POST-OFFICE SAVINGS BANK BILL. The Marquis of HARTINGTON moved that the order of the day for the second reading of this bill bo discharged. Azreed to. TaE WHITSUNTIDE HOLIDAYS. lir. GLADSTONE said he wished to state that instead of the d meLtioned last night he should move that on Thursday night week the house shoud adjourn fur a fort- THE RIOT IN DERBY. Sir F. IIEYGATEI gave notice of his intention, to. morrow, to ask whether it was the intention of the Go vernment to proclaim Derry before full information a the cause of the d , sturbance was rccoivod. THE IRISH OUUROLI BILL. The house then went into committee on this bill. Mr. WIIALLEY moved an amendment to clause 35 the object of which was to so alter the enactment as to make it repeal the whole of the Acts of Parliament relat ing to the College of Ma3rnooth. After a long discussion the house divided, when there appeared For the amendment Against it Majority against the amendment Mr. GLADSTONE then moved some other amend ments to the bill, and at seven o'clock the sitting of the house was suspended. - _ -4 HOUSE OF COM MO NS.-LAST EVENING. TUUNPIKE TOLLS. Mr. BRUCE t•aid ho could not support the bill of the hon. member for Peterborough, bJeause it dvalt with the subj et in a fragmentary manner, THE BRITISH GRAVES IN TUE CRIMEA. _ . Mr. O"PWAY, i❑ reply to Mr. Stopford, said tit,' care o: the graves iu tho erfurnt was not so smisfactory as could he wished ; if, however, the hon. member would repeat his question in a day or two he would see if he could give him a more satisfactory answer. THE O'FARRELL TRIAL. Mr. lIONSELL, in reply to Mr. Newlegato, said no direction was given by the Home Government to the Go vernment in the colony to suppress any of the evichnce taken at the trill of O'Farrell ; and with respect to the re port and evidence ho did not think it would be advisable to put the country to the expense of printing the volumi nous floater. Mr.IIAtiLTIRE said ho hoped it would be borne in mind that the act of O'Farrell was an isolated one, and that ho was quite unconnected with any body of persons, that in fact his crime was the result of delirium tremens, or in fact he might say of a lunatic. It was just that this fact should be clearly made known. (Hear, hear.) THE RIOTS IN DERRY. Mr. C. FORTESCUE said the Government were giving this matter their most serious consideration. He could not that evening state any of their proceedings, as the report of the inquest had not yet been received. TIIE WHITSUNTIDE lIOLIDAYS. Mr. GLADSTONE, in reply to Col. French, said the adjournment of the Louse for the holidays would in a great measure depend upon the progress of the committee on tha Irish Church Bill; and, judg ing from what had alleady boon done, ho thought it might he possible t hat the committee would close with the week. He should, if that were so, take the report of it on the Thursday following, and then move that the house at its rising should adjourn !until the Monday week. THE IRISH CHURCH. The house then went into committee on the bill, Clause 30, which made enactments with respect to mixed endowments, was agreed to ; as was clause 31, which defined the limitation of the right to purchase fee simple, in consideration of perpetual rent. Clause 32 was next proposed, •it dealt with the sale of the rent charge to the owners of land, and enacted that the commissioners might sell any rent charge in lieu of tithes vested in them under the act to the owners of land, charged herewith in consideration of a sum equal to twenty-two and a half times the amount of such rent charge. Mr. FAWCETT moved that the clause be struck out. The proposition was negatived without a division. Clause 37, which provides compensation for professors iu the College of Belfast, was also negatived without a division. Clanso 38, enabling the commissioners to commute the annuities of Nonconformist ministers and professors at Belfast, was agreed to. The house then resumed, and the orders of the day hay ing been disposed of, afterwards adjourned.

The vessel is between 700 and 800 tons, and lies dry at low water. The master lost his course, and got bewildered, not knowing where he was, and ran the ship ashore in his bewilderment.
