Our letters from Alexandria state that the Egyp tian Government have just made an arrangement with the Suez Canal Company which puts an end to every anterior and future claim. Until now there were still several questions undecided, out of Which claims and demands of indemnities might h ave arisen, w hi c h would have proved onerous t o th e Egyptian Government. One of these questions, in fact the principal one, was the concession given by Said Pash a t o t h e Company of exemption from all duties on every kind of merchandise and material Imported into Egypt—a most dangerous grant as regards the future. " With the new port of Port Said established, it might have led to immense difficulties, claims, and disputes." The Viceroy has now succeeded in annulling that concession together with other rights which the Canal Company had considered themselves to have by a simple ar rangement, involving no liability to pay any ready Money, nor any present or future real demand on the Treasury. It provides for the extinction of the concession in its every detail, and in future the company will have to pay duties for all merchandise imported, the same as every individual in the coun try, and the company cease to have any special pri vilege on the navagation of the fresh -water canal, and must submit to the same taxations and regula tions as those established for strangers. It leaves to the Egyptian Government in future the mono poly of the postal and telegraphic service through out the Canal, as well as the fishery of the whole of the waters, including the Lakes. The company further cede to the Government all the hospitals, with their material, throughout the isthmus, and all the houses, constructions, and warehouses along the Canal, with the exception of those in the prin cipal towns established, such as Ismaliah and Port Said, and will pay 5 per cent. per annum of their value (as rent) for any which they may still wish to occupy or make use of after the present date. A'l these concessions of rights on the part of the company are made for the sum of £1,200,000. ERITISII FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES. GOVERNMENT FUNDS. 8 per C ent. Consols Ditto for Account, 91 8 Per Cent.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and tae short exchange on London is 251. 271 c. per £1 sterling )u comparing these rates with the English Mint price of 104 d. per ounce for stundard gold, it appe....rs tli.t gold at the above price is of higher rtlue in London than in Paris. The course of exchange at New York on London for hills at 6 days' sight was on the 17th inst. about tO9t per cent. At this rate there is no profit on the importation of gold from the United States. STATE OF 7RADE. MANCHESTER, May 18. —The market for shipping yarns has been very strong to-day, and a fair busi ness has been done at the prices freely obtainable last week. Spinners look forward to rather more activity after the holydays. There are a good many orders in the market, with a disposition to do busi• ness. In home trade yarns there has been a steady market, with little or no change in prices since Friday, and just a moderate business offering. The impression is that things are not worse than last Tuesday. For cloths there has been rather a large general business since last Tuesday in nearly all descriptions of goods suitable to India and China ; and, notwithstanding the holidays, buyers show a disposition to go on but for the ten dency to higher prices, which acts as a decided check to business. Makers, however, are a little more independe n t ' 'owing to the orders which ha ve been booked during the last eight or ten days, a n d id. a pi ece is required as an advance in price in consequence of many manufacturers being well under orders. There have been some large sales, but they are exception s' h and the general run o f transactions hav e been modorate.h CARDIFF, May 17 17•--The trade a d e speedily hopes entertained att at, l g a s a t week of the steam - coal more satisfactory position have been again doomed to disappointment by the unfavourable winds which have prevailed and prevented vessels arriv ing at the docks, and as there bas been nothing to check the departure of laden vessels the docks at the present time do not present such a pleasing aspect as could be desired. During the past month the exports of steam coal reached 162,085 tons, against 190,178 in the previous month, and 182,11 tons in the corresponding month of last year, the decrease being caused principally by the dulness of trade, although some difficulty was experienced by merchants and shippers in obtaining suitable ton nage for the more distant ports. Tile - house coal trade also shows a falling off. LEEDS, 18th.—There have been but a few buyers in the cloth-halls this morning, it being the 1% hit suntide holidays. Still, there was a moderate amount of transactions in ordinary goods, and a few in samples for the autumn and winter trades. Prices were without change, and the markets were in all respects such as might have been anticipated. THE LATE COLLISION ON THE NORTH EASTERN RAILWAY.—In the evidence given before the coroner at York yesterday by Captain Tyler, he stated that the signalman admitted the collision was caused by his for getfulness in not having unloosed the lever of the siding POuAN, The jury returned a verdict of occidental death.

DUBLIN, Tuesday Eyening. At 2 o'clock this morning a serious collision oc currel in the Channel, about ten miles from Bel fast, between the Marquis of Abercorn, which left Dublin at 5 p.m. yesterday with a large cargo for Glasgow, and the Lord Gough, which sailed about the same hour from Glasgow for this port. The Marquis of Abercorn was struck near her paddle boxes, and in less than one hour she began to sink. As the water rose in the vessel the boilers burst, and the cattle, which formed a great part of the c trgo, were thrown into the sea. A frightful scene of confusion took plat,', but happily the crew and passengers were all saved. Bo'h vessels belong to the Dublin and Glasgow Steam Packet Company.

The Derby favourites have changed positions to some slight extent during the last two or three days. Pretender was not quite so firm on Monday as during the latter part of last week, offers of 900 to 400 not being responded to, whilein nosingle instance was 7 to 4 laid that he gets a place, as was frequently the case a few days since. The slight retrogression of the favourite caused inquiries to be made after Pero Gomez, about whom 3 to 1 was taken to a little money, though offered in thousands. The public rage for Belladrum still cont'nues, the support be obtains from general investors being the prime cause of his being kept at the short price of 9 to 2. On Monday these odds were taken to large amounts by commissioners in the interests of their country clients, oue of these functionaries alone backing him to win £2,000. Ferry Down was heartily supported at from 40 to 25 to 1, and Ryshworth was regarded so favourably as to come down to the compara tively short price of 20 to 1, but at Bath yester day he reced , dtoso to 1 (offered). The remaining candidate:: were for the most part in bad odour. The training report:: from Lambourne speak well of Bella drum's latest doings. On Saturday, according to one of the tuts, " the Drum did all that was asked of him." He was led by Phechus a sharp canter of a mile, and pulled up in excellent form. On Sunday he did a mile and a half nt a very steady pace. From Middleham we learn that Pretender is still doing his work. He does his two-mile gallops in excellent form, and has never, say the reports, keen seen in better condition. At Kingsclear Pero Gomez is led generally by Rosicrucian or Blue Gown. The mile-and-a-half gallops are well per formed both by the Deiby favourite and by Morna, the prominent candidate for the Oaks. On Saturday a full pace gallop was tried, Pero Gomez pulling up in the best condition. From Newmarket the reports state that Ryshworth is doing remarkably good work with Blueskin. AFFRAY BE7W BEN NAVVIES AAD POLICEMAN. A t the Worship-street Police Court on T tie: day Dav'dWhito was 'lac( d at the. Lac on a mat-tent, before Mr. Newton, el:nrged with lotving violently nssitulted at police-constable of the N division. Police-constable William Holmes said that on Saturday night last, about half-past seven, a riot took place at Li a Bridge, between some nav vies, and w Welt the police were called on to supin-ss. A const,ble (67 N E) was struggling with a mar, and witness went to assist him. As- cond constalle then came up to his ail, and he (witness) then saw the prisoner lat 1 about half a trick at him, which struck the con stable (Ward. (79) on the la al, and ho fell to the ground insensible. Tho pri: eller tan away, but witncs., who knew him well, gave information. Mr. Newton asked bow the injurt d man was? hp - pcctor Clement, N die isi rn, sail that he was worse, and handed in a certificate from Dr. Wright, the divi sional surgeon, which certified that Police-constable, 79 N, was suffering from concussion of the brain, was in a very dangerous state, and unable to attend the court. Mr. Newton remanded the accused, and refusd to take bail, as it was not improbable the man mi.,lit FATALIES AT SEA. The news of two painful disasters at sea has just been received. Intelligence has reached Liverpool from Queenstown of the total loss by fire of the ship Blue Jacket off the Cape of Good Hope. The Blue Jacket was homeward bound from Lyttelton, New Zealand, and had on board a very valuable cargo.- Her crew and passengers numbered 77 persons, of whom 35 are missing. It is not known how the fire originated, but all attempts to subdue it failed, and the master (Captain White), the chief officer, six of the crew, and all the passengers, 34 in number, took to the boats. After enduring severe privations for a week they were picked up on the 16th March by the ship Pyrmouf. One of the passengers died shortly after. The other officers and 31 of the crew took to the two lifeboats, but are still missing. The ship and cargo were fortu nately fully insured, but the cargo was very valuable, there being 15,7360 z. gold, value £63,390, besides £65,000 worth of wool. £4,000 specie was saved in the long boat, but there was £4,000 more in each of the lifeboats, besides £53,000 lost in the ship. The Pyrmont reached Queenstown on Monday afternoon with the news. The other disaster is the loss by fire of the Omar Pasha, but, happily, in this case there was no loss of life. The Omar Pasha WAS bound from Brisbane to London. Her cargo of wool, beef, tallow, Er.c., was valued at £BO,OOO, and it was said she had also 130,000 in specie. The telegram announcing the disaster is dated from Gibraltar. The ship was abandoned on the 27th of April, but where is Inot stated. Another tragical story of older date has just been told in this country. The barque Java left Massachussetts on a whaling voyage to the South Polar Sea so far back as December 1567. At Cape Verde Islands nine Portuguese sailors were added to the crew, ono of whom was accidentally drowned. The captain blamed one of the sailors for the accident, and placed him in irons. The rest of the crew mutinied, mur , dered the third mate, and severely injured the first mate. The ringleaders then deserted the ship, and took to sea in a small boat. They suffered greatly from want of pro visions, but at length reached Java. They were arrested by order of the American Consul and put in prison, where one of them died. They have since been removed to New York, where they await their trial. The resolution submitted to the Fenian meeting held at Cork on Saturday, which we have already described as a failure, was .as follows :—" That we, the citivns of Colic, in this meeting essembled, do lucid, emphatically condemn the conduct of Daniel O'Sulli tan, Veg., our late mnyor, who, after Laving been elected by the people as their represcntativ, and after having been supported by the force of public opinion, has chos.en to desert his post and betray the confidence placed in him ; thereby leading the English and Scotch Parliament and proplo to belletro that the nation has any conti ii, tide ili foreign legislation." The noise and confusion tins en treat that it rtt3 not possible to carry it. We Ltive rtiteady brit* repotted the death, under v(i'y circumstances, of Dray Firth. The inquest was held on Monday, at Bolton Fridge, and the evidence showed that the unfortunate lady left the hotel, where she and her husband had been staying for the past few days, apparently in good health and spirits, on Saturday morning. She was not again seen until her body was discovered in the River Wharfe, at a spot about '2OO yards below the Ab bey, known as the Duke's Bathing-place. All her jewellery was found upon the body, and there being no evidence to account for the manner in which she got into the water, an open verdict of " Found drowned" was returned. The sad event has cast quite a gloom over the whole of the Riding. In the afternoon the tody of Lady Firth was removed to the ridatiKlUt NAVA 44914914Ydig5k ttallwxys. st Bristol and Exeter 10:.1 77 79 st Caledonian .......... 100 76: 771 771 ISi st CaulOrian lOO 18 L 3 2) Cornwall all 21 31 it Dublin & Belfast June lOO 77 79 at Dun,.Verth,& Ab.J unc lOO 701 721 2) East London.all 61 71 £0 Do 15 2) Do 10 it Glasgow AS.

'N'e rime.: asks the Americans to consider calmly what theyi:ave to acknowledge, as well as to conplain of, in th? ; matters now actually in dispute. We did beyond doubt treat a civil war ill America as if it were an ordinary A- war, :tistead of regarding it as something altogether exceptional and beyond the application of ordinary rules. It' sno secret that the leaders o f th e secess i on did b u i l d their" hopes to a great extent upon the action of this country. They confidently calculated not only on (gleans would have m a d e any b arga i n w i th "tecognit,:on," but on intervention. Ther e was a time dreaded interventi on , an d a t t h at same when the An: us to avert ibis time, as they well kr. Th we were pressed t o i n t ervene b y an ally so powerful that the combined wei g ht o f th e t wo nations bad been thrown int.; the scale against th e N or th , the Southern half of the Union N. ould never have been re covered. Yet we resisted these solicitation► and we endured the loss of the greatest trade in the work; rather than depart from that neutrality for witsch we mellow prose cuted. Mr. Sumner says we are charvable for f, 1f the war. Do those who approve his words forget that Mr. Jefferson Davis said the very sane thing? The Confede rate President declared in the heat of the contest that, but for the prodigious supplies which the Feder.ds drew from this country, the war would not have lasted six months. Mr. Adams, in his correspondence with Lord Russell, made admissions to the same eact. All intelligent Americans ki:ow, and all candid Americans would admit, that the conduct of our Government during t ‘eir civil war • either was, or was intended to be, void of off( nee towards them. If the p:ivate opinions or sympathies of a people are to be now made, for the first time in L:story, a subject of international litigation, the Americans should ask themselves to what countercharges they would themselves be liable in a cause so founded ; but the wiser course is to put such matters out of the question altogether, and con fine the scope of diplomatic negotiations to such affairs as are within the cognizance of public law. The Standard rays that in the brief interval which will elapse between the Ella' stage of amendment in the House of Commons and the first reading in the Upper House, it may be useful once more to review the progress of the Irish Church Bill in committee, and recapitulate the fate of the various amendments proposed. The matters already pointed out as particularly objectionable were the price charged for the glebe-house, the confiscation of the northern glebe-lands, given by a Protestant King for Pro testant purposes ; the injustice of not allowing the tithe rent charge payer an equivalent fur his present legal right to deduct poor' rate, and the adoption of fourteen years' value as a measure of capitalisation for Maynooth but not for the Church. The price for the glebe-houses has been reduced from twelve to ten years; the Church Body may buy, or refuse to buy, as seems expedient ; the result of this being in round numbers that the houses may be had for (according to Mr. Gladstone's calculation) about £90,000, instead of for about £200,000, as proposed in the original scheme. The landlords are now allowed fifty-two instead of forty-five years to redeem the tithe rent-charge, and instalments are to be allowed for poor rate. These are the whole concessions of any pecuniary value, and after a fair and 'full allowance for them, the bill remains a monument of unrelenting confiscation and oppression. Whether as such it should be wholly rejected, or allowed to be read a second time by the House of Lords, is for the Conservative leaders in that House to determine, but cer tain we are that under no circumstances should it be allowed to become law without provisions enabling a general and not an individual commutation of life incomes, and the preservation of glebe-houses free of charge, and of the Ulster glebes for the new Church. The Daily News remarks that Lord Cairns has every qualification for leadership, except its conscious power. A very acute and shrewd, and not unkindly critic. with unusual opportunities of observation, has described Lord Cairns as less the leader of the Tory party than their man of business. He is their confidential agent, their bailiff, or their land-steward, rather than their chief. This cha racter is the more conspicuous from the fact that Lord Cairns succeeds Lord Derby—for the roilaineant period of Lord Malmesbury's vain efforts to lead need not be taken into account. Lord Derby spoke as a feudal thief giving orders to Lis vassals ; Lord Cairns speaks like an attorney who has received his instructions—in each case, of course, with decent disguise and circumlocution. In both there is a kind of self-confidence ; but in the one it is the self-confidence of the smart man of business. in the other of conscious personal ascendancy and social superiority. In manner, address, and in yet smaller matters, Lord Cairns is the brisk professional man. He altogether wants the easy negligence of Lord Derby and Lord Salisbury. He exercises no magnetic influence upon his party. He is not in social feeling sufficiently at one with them to be sure that in speaking his own mind he is speaking theirs ; nor Las he the authority to impose his mind upon them. He is prosaic and lawyer-like. The difficulty u Lich this fact presents will probably be evaded during what remains of the present session by Lord Derby's return to the field to take the command of the Conserva tive forces in the battle of the Irish Church. Lord Cairns will make an excellent second, and will probably do, and do well, the work which Dr. Ball discharged in the House of Commons. When the next great occasion arises, he may have more thoroughly learned his business ; or Lord Salishory, who is the natural leader of the Tory party, may be ready to assume the place which awaits him, The Tc7c;,rrpl. thinks that the recent news from Ame seems to confirm the justice of the original opinion, that tie immediate importance of Senator Sumner's speech had been somewhat over-estimated in this country. It is now more than ever clear that neither the speaker nor his audience interpreted tl.e remarkable utterance in the sense of a distinct declaration of hostility ; and, though we see no reason to modify our view regarding theinjustice and extravagance of his solemn indictment against Eng land, we note with satisfaction that the Americans appear to agree with us in considering it rather as an expression of public opinion than as an official exposition of national policy. For the present we anticipate no immediate action with reference to the Alabama claims. It is, no doubt, undesirable that the question should be left open ; but, in the present excited condition of American feeling, we see no possibility of arriving at any very speedy and satis factory settlement. Beyond a general desire to do what ie right and fair, this country has no interest whatever in concluding an Alabama Convention, except in so far as such an agreement might protect our own commerce here after from depredations similar to those which Captain Semmes inflicted upon the Federal merchant marine. And, with a Government like that of the United States, ruling over so immense an area, 14. A exercising so little direct authority over the several Sfai,,ss, no Convention could practically be enforced in time of wai; unless the public opinion of the country were opposed to s -e . prisals against Englani. An excellent service, however, cart to rendered, not to the two countries only, but to the world at large, if the representative statesmen of each nation will but honestly and faithfully keep their people informed on the actual views and state of feeling in the other country—and will thus, by force of that reciprocal "understanding" which is the basis of all trust and friendship, pave the way towards a conciliatory and final settlement. The Times heartily welcomes the address of Archbishop Leahy. There is much in the style of his order that generally offends English taste. The chids of the Church are often stilted and verbose, and in Ireland there is some thing ostentatious and condescending in theirloyalty, which rather provokes one at having to accept it. The gist of th e archiepiscopal address is that Irishmen should obey the laws, abstain from the sin of bloolguiltiness, and await the changes which popular opinion and the altered spirit of British statesmen will shortly produce. The moral iis en reprobation tirely s satisfactory, s m f a u e r t d o e r r y c , n a n n v c e i I' will,e (l theinvie trust,A r clib p i s r lr d p u ' c s e address excel.

Whatever may be the reasoning by which the higher Romish priesthood arrives at the conclusion that it is its duty to interfere energetically and put down the disorders of Westmeath and Tipperary, we shall welcome the result. Ve should be glad to find them indignant at the crime, without an argumentation which may seem to extenuate uateit it; but, allowing for-national and religious prepossessions, the part the Burnish clergy have taken is no doubt much t., their credit, and we cannot afford to neglect such allies. Let the priesthood consider, as, in fact, the Archbishop tells his flock, that the less of outrage there is, the mare likely is Parliament to approach with due consideration the question of the wrongs of Ireland. Without bartering their support for favourable legis lation, the whole body of Irish priests can advance the political cause of their country by restoring. as far as in them lies, social tranquillity during the period. which must elapse before the new Irish legislation is brought to a close. It is very far from our intention, says the Post, to impute insincerity to the Holy See, or to Archbishop Leahy. But when we are told that there is no criminal conspiracy, we must say tie actual condition of Ireland appears to de mand a better explanation, and particularly since the A rehbishop admits in effect that the Irish Roman Catholics have no secrets which are not open to their clerical guar dians. It is a large and frank admission of sacerdotal ascendancy. It is an acceptance of relvtisibility which cann ot possibly I.e exaggerated. The ~omati Catholic clergy are certainly not answerable for the crimes of a few 1 desperadoes acting- singly. Tl:ey have black sheep in . their ff:clis, as other shepherds have. Bat it comes . to this—that no organi, , e.l movement can he liid(*eo from their searching inspection, and almost that ' such a movement depends on their countenance or conni vance. If they denounce it from the altar it falls dead at their feet. Its life is in their hands.
