AF"' 4(5-444 by which large =quantities of a vitriol solution were constantly poured into the rivers. A new process has been 'discovered by which this solution may be partly used over again; and partly employed in the manu facture of copperas. A palpable purification of the adjacent rivers has been effected wherever this process has been carried out. This is one instance. As a general rule, the inspectors are of opinion, not only that a river may be kept pure, but that it is to the advantage of the manufacturers to refrain from polluting it. They are the largest consumers of water, and by the agency of their own establishments they are being driven more and more to seek fresh water at a distance. But so slow is the progress of ideas that some very simple suggestions made by the inspectors have met with no attention. The obstruction of rivers by weirs and dams is a subject of not less importance. In many cases these weirs cannot be meddled with. The gradual superseding of water-power by steam tends to diminish the number of weirs for milling purpos3s. But the inspectors think that even now the Legislature might interfere in forbidding the useless multiplication of new weirs, and in promoting the removal of some of the obsolete old ones. In all other cases facilities for enabling the salmon to pass the weir ought to be insisted upon. The injurious effect of these obstructions, in pre venting the fish from ascending the stream, is very great. In the else of the Tyne, the removal of an insurmountable dam in 1863 speedily changed this river into one cf the most productive in England. Undoubtedly there is yet amplescope for improve ment. The streams of England and Wales which now produce salmon drain no more than J,OOO square miles. But the total area suited to this fish is not less than 46,000 square miles. The flat districts of the Eastern counties can never be made productive, but there is scarcely any other part of England where salmon ought not to be found. And yet, through the agency of obstruction, contamination, and general neglect, only one fifth of these capabilities are utilised. Here is clearly much justification for the demands which have been made for further legislation. A law forbidding pollution of rivers, restricting the employment of weirs, and bringing trout under all the regulations which apply to salmon, might yet render the most excellent of fish the " food of the people."

The Colonial Minister said— The originators of the revolution would never have undertaken the task had they suspected that the result would be the establishment of a republic. Finally the Chamber adopted the mo narchical clauses by 211 against 71 votes. Senor Castelar, in hii sp ecli yesterday, ac knowledged the virtues of the Duke de Moutpen sier, but said that being a Bourbon it was impos sible for him to be King. in reply to this, Admiral Topete, the Minister of Marine, declared that the Duke de Montpensier was the best candidate.

FORSTER, ON THE GOVERNMENT MEASURES. A large number of distinguished men came together at Leeds on Wednesday. The occasion was that of the thirty-second annual conference of the Yorkshire Union of Mechanics' Institutes. The Right Hon. W. E. Forster presided. He spoke at great length on the position of the educational question. He said it was impossible for the State to interfere in the matters of education and relief of the poor without some degree of danger, which must be instantly guarded against. A poor man must be made to understand that education was not given as a matter of charity, but a work of co opera tion. It was the duty of Government when dealing with education to consider the question as a great whole, and it was the business of the State to turn the Universities and the endowed schools into great national institutions, to which all parties and all creeds had access. Grammar schools had been too much forgetful of the poor, and there had been too much aping of the education of Eton. If that departure from the necessities of these days had not occurred, the secondary schools would have betteranswered their purposes. Speaking of the universities, he said a man could not obtain his degree until he was 22, and he complained that the time was much longer than it need be. Boarding schools, he considered, had arisen from the secondary classes imitating the ways of those above them. It was said they must be very careful how they changed the standard of education ; that it would be disadvantageous to those who were born with silver spoons in their mouths. He believed the day was gone by when men were born rulers, and no arrangement would be more unjust to the gentlemen of England than to give them educational establishments exclusively to themselves. The more efficient the educa tion of great schools was made, the more efficient would be the education in the schools for the poorer classes. It had been his duty to inquire into the education of the working classes, and he found that unless they made the grammar schools teachers of what was wanted, they would be no longer schools of the greatest use, schools in which the cleverest boys of the working classes could be brought up. The great feature of his bill was to make use of these endowments for the development of talent wher ever it could be found. At present there was very little chance for clever boys of working parents. If they were to keep pace with other countries, they could not afford to let . any talent lie dormant, and they must call it out and give it opportunity to rise. He hoped to see every large town in the country rating itself to have one of these reformed grammar schools, because they would see how good they were ; and the time would come when in all elementary, national, and British schools there would be exhibitions by means of which the cleverest boy would be able to ascend to the greatest position. He was glad to find that at Birmingham, Faversham, and other places, including Doncaster, the main provision of his bill had been anticipated. In his bill there were two ideas —one, a reform of the endowed schools by a temporary commission; and the other, a good system of examination and the means of raising the educa tional profession by means of an Educational Council. This last idea had attracted a good deal of attention in Yorkshire, but his first object was to provide some means by which the endowed schools when reformed might be kept good. He had wished to provide some machinery which should shew the trustees how themasters were teaching, and also that there should be a sort of guarantee by the granting of certificates that the master appointed was fit for teaching. Schoolmasters were not considered as they ought to be as a profession, as one of the noblest professions. He sought to appoint an Educa tional Council, and the idea was a new one, but he thought the more schoolmasters and parents looked at it the more they would like it. Asking what mechanics' institutions had to do with all this, he said they would be the means of providing bridges from one class of schools to another, so that the poor child should have the chance, if he had the faculty, of becoming a scholar for the benefit of his country. Ignorance was weakness, and weakness meant pauperism and crime. There never was a time when people in Eng land were more proud of the glory of their country and wished to maintain it, and that could onlybe done by help. ing to make each individual stronger, and increasing his culture. He would not admit secular teaching to be on a par with religion, but the greater faculty you can give a boy the better he was for the clergyman to deal with. Mr. BAINES, M.P., made a few observations in taking leave of an old and bygone controversy, which. he said, was a battle that was fought with some perseve rance and gallantry and with honest attachment to the cause of education by many. He stated briefly what had caused him in a great measure to resign himself to the ac ceptance of State aid in the great work of education. The great and important political change which had taken place had made every man a more important man than he was. Now every ratepayer might be said to be almost a member of the Government, and he was one of those who decided the form of education that was to be given —in fact the whole people had been made agents in one grand voluntary system. The next consideration that influenced him was that he saw the immense value of examination and inspection in the work of education. Mr. MUNDELLA, M. P. , was strongly of opinion that the future success and stability of England depended upon the solving of the question of education. He considered that education ought to be made compulsory, and that such a system would only be obtained by the demand of the working classes themselves, inasmuch as the middle classes did not as yet sufficiently appreciate the great want. Mr. CARTER, M.P., was glad that Mr. Mundella's advocacy of a system of compulsory education met with approval. Since he went to London he had been convinced that the Ministers of the Crown and the members of Parliament believed that the working classes did notwish for a system of compulsory education, and it would be for the working classes to convince them that they were in favour of such a system. In reply somewhat to this, Mr. FORSTER said: If Government attempted to do what public opinion was not ready for, there would be a reaction, which would probably throw them back. That, however, did not in the slightest degree diminish his desire and expectation to arrive at the state of things which he had already sketched out. MR. FOI?STER AND 1118 CONSTITUENTS. On Thursday the Right Hon. W. E. Forster met his constituents at Bradford. After a resolution expressing a vote of confidence in Arr. Forster, the right hon. gentleman rose, and addressed the electors. He touched upon the cattle importation ques tion, said it was a most important one, and that a great deal of attention would have to be devoted to it, inasmuch as it was desirable to procure as much food as possible for the people. On the education question he referred his hearers to what he had said in Leeds on the preceding night. The Government this year were engaged in considering the question of secondary education, and next year, if nothing more important interfered, they intended to devote themselves to a con sideration of the subject of elementary education. The position of the Ministry at the present time was much easier than it had been during the preceding Administra tion—a circumstance which he attributed to the fact that the Reform Bill had been passed in the last Parliament. He (Mr. Forster) did not see that the composition of the House of Commons was materially different, but the members had to act differently, owing to having enlarged constituencies at their back. The time had now come when it was possible to make complete and searching reforms. The Irish Church Bill was a measure of that class, and he attributed its success to the fact that it possessed that quality. It had been attempted by the Conservatives to put the Government on a false scent by saying that they ought to deal with the land question ; but, in his opinion, one great measure was enough for the time. If it were anything in the shape of consolation or comfort for their opponents in the House, he might state that, next year, the Irish land question would be tackled in a similar way by the Government as the Irish Church measure had been. The right hon. gentleman next alluded to the American question, especially referring to Mr. Sumner's speech. England had felt a warm interest in the cause of the North of America—in the victory of freedom over slavery. Sumner had complained that England bad acted in a hostile manner with respect to the proclamation of neutrality ; Sumner appeared to consider that the South ought to have been treated as pirates. But he (Mr. Forster) found, from his study of international law, that where there was a revolution between States in the same country they were belligerents, and that it was the duty of a neutral Government to treat them as such. Then, again, Mr. Sumner had remarked that, alth oug h there was war by land then in America, there was no war at sea ; but remember the procla mation's the Northern States made, and let them also consider that the North themselves, by the blockade of ports in the South, recognised the existence of war with the South. The Southern Confederacy ran their vessels out of port, and time after time disturbed the blockade the North had instituted. The blockade in itself was an act of war. Sumner also appeared to con tend that that blockade was not a real blockade ; but Mr. Forster argued that the American Govern. ment were playing upon words, for sailing to Southern ports was the act of a belligerent Power, Although there were individuals who had committed acts offensive to the Noah, they ought to look at what the Government of the country had done. With respect to the A:abama business, it ought to be remeni, tiered that Earl Russell had strained the law, and kept the armed rams from going to Liverpool. Sumner had also said that when Americans came to_. England they were sure to be annoyed by hearing observations unfavourable to the North ; but it was absurd for }howl ti take the club-rooms of the Weetlutt,A celgra,via as theksjiterion in this respect. If our American friends had gone into the workshops of England they would have heard quite a different story—for the sympathies of the English people were fully in favour of the abolition of slavery. In his opinion there could be no war between America and England, for there could be no real antagonistic feeling between people mutually speaking the English language and of kindred tastes and habits. , The right hon. gentleman was followed by Mr. Miall, M.P., and other speakers. A VOLUNTEER SHOT BY HIS OWN SERGEANT. On Thursday afternoon a lamentable accident took place Bilston, near Wolverhampton. A party of the Bilston eplunteers (4th Staffordshire Battalion) were engaged on their practice-ground firing at a 400 yards range, nnder the direction of Drill-Sergeant Nason. A private named Chatterton, a tailor, with seven children, offered to go and mark. He did so, and indicated by the red disc that all was clear. On this Company-Sergeant Fenny asked the drill-sergeant if all was right, and the drill-sergeant said, " Yes ; Go on ! " He fired, and just as he pulled the trigger he was horrified to see Chat terton run out from the mantlet and make for the target five yards distant. Chatterton was seen to face rotind towards the squad, and he instantly dropped on his face in the opposite direction, and his back was exposed to the dire. The bullet-rntered the lowerpart of his back, passed through the bowels, and then struck the target. No blame is to be attached to the firing party, as`Chatterton did not hoist the danger signal before he left his place of safety. It is supposed that his object was to clean some marks from the target, which he thought would prevent him from recording the score. LONDON, FRIDAY, MAY 21, 18G9. The most interesting result of the Prince of WALEs's recent tour in foreign lands is the invitation to the PRINCE IMPERIAL to visit England. The friendly intercourse which now generally subsists among the Royal families of Europe is an innovation especially due to the reign of Queen VICTORIA. In former days the " divinity which hedges in a king " exercised the most stringent influence upon the personal movements of the Sovereign. Like the King of SPAIN, who was roasted to death because he dared not move from the spot, in close proximity to the stove, where he had been placed in the State recep tion room, Royal victims submitted, without a murmur, to a life-long State imprisonment. Royal marriages, entered into from political motives, took place before bride or bridegroom had beheld a glimpse of the other's countenance, and it was only at the bead of his army, in the character of an invader, that King or Prince ever cared to enter the dominions of a brother Sovereign. The changed aspect ' of affairs which we witness in the present day is in deed remarkable, and is only the fitting consequence of the more friendly relations which exist among the different peoples of the earth. Conspicuous among all the nations of Europe, England and France, fore most in history as rivals and as foes, are now happily equally foremost and equally remarkable as faithful friends and good allies. When the ashes of the Great NAPOLEON were brought to Paris to be in terred " in the midst of that French people whom he had loved so well," Lord PALmEnsroN, speaking as the mouthpiece of England, expressed a hope that all feeling of mutual animosity between the two great nations might be for ever buried in that grave. That wish may be said to have been realised when, a few years later.,.during o the reign of another NAPOLEON, the Queen of ENGLAND stool in the Invalides by that grave, and when also that other NAPOLEON was greeted with ac clamations in the streets of London. The most friendly and intimate relationships now exist between the various members of the families of NAPOLEON TILE GREAT and those of the " most powerful, the most constant, and (but, alas ! not in his experience-) the most generous of his ene mies." As a new attestation of this fact, the pro posed visit of this young NAPOLEON BONAPARTE -- " The young Astyanax of Modern Troy," to another, and a very different Prince of \VALES, is a matter of especial interest, and of very general satisfaction. The PRINCE IMPERIAL will himself be too young to understand the full signifi cance of an event which will probably prove a very delightful episode in his youthful experience. Later on, however, he wia learn to appreciate that good sense and 11;gh moral courage which have enabled his father not only to realise the desires and ac..omplish the work of his great predecessor, but—a yet more arduous and apparently impossible task—have enabled him by peaceful means to secure a conquest which the sword of NAPOLEON was power less to achieve, a conquest over public opinion in England and national susceptibility in France which has rendered innocuous the remembranceof Waterloo, IT is now some eight years since the Legislature in terfered to prevent the extermination of the salmon from British waters by special enactments for its protection. Previously to 1801, the s.dmon fishery of England bad been subject to no regulations, save a few common-law traditions of most respectable antiquity. It was the general rule that the salmon in the sea and navigable rivers belonged to the public, and that the salmon in unnavigable rivers belonged Ito the owners of the property adjacent to the banks. Before the Magna Charta, the Crown claimed the prerogative of granting exclusive rights within certain . limits. The charter, reserving all existing rights, forbade this granting of monopolies for the future. But no restrictions were imposed as to the time and mode of fishing, there was no inspection of rivers, no attempt was made to purify the water or remove obstructions, and nothing was done to introduce salthon into suitable, but unfrequented, rivers. A merciless and barbarous war of extermination was carried on ' against this most valuable article of food. The Act of 1861 forbade fishing with spears and the like instruments; the nets must be of a certain size so as to avoid the useless destruction of small fish ; the fishing was restricted to the season—from September to February inclusive; and penalties were imposed for the violation of these and similar provisions. Inspectors were appointed to promote the growth of this fishery, and to guard more effectually rgainst breaches -of the law. These enactments have been very beneficial. We are, indeed, as yet far from the realisation of Mr. FRANK BIICKLAND'S dream of salmon as "food for the people," but the fish is much more plentiful, and con siderably cheaper, than it once was. Moreover, instead of a prospect that the salmon would speedily disappear altogether, the presages of the future are very encouraging. The eighth annual report of the inspectors affirms that the fisheries are in a highly satisfactory condition. The cultivation of salmon is spreading throughout the country, whilst the actual quantity of fish captured and sold has greatly in creased. The returns from the leading London markets chew that the sale of Scotch salmon in 1868 was greater than in 1865 by one-third. The capture of fish in English rivers has more than doubled. And though the importation of salmon from Norway, Holland, and Ireland has greatly fallen off, yet the value of the sales at Billingsgate have risen nearly one-fourth in four years. Last year was very unfavourable to this fishery, but the inspectors are confident that the number of young fish in the rivers is great beyond precedent. This result is encouraging as a practical demonstra tion of the improvement to be effected in the salmon fisheries by careful cultivation. But the work already done can be accepted only as an experiment, and as an instalment of what it is possible to' 'do. The salmon - now spawning in British rivers is but a fraction of the quantity which ought to be found there. The capabilities of our streams are by no means utilised to the fullest extent. Very many rivers which were naturally fitted for the growth of salmon have been ruined by divers agencies, of which pollution by sewage, mines, and manufactures, and obstructions by weirs are the chief. The inspectors very care fully consider the pos'sibility of purifying these pol luted streams, removing these obstructions, and thus bringing the much-coveted fish back to places which they once favoured, but from which they have long ago been expelled. Of course the salmon fishery must not be promoted at the expense of manufac tures and navigation, but the inspectors have not been regardless of industrial considerations. They make out a clear case that much improvement can be effected without injury —nay, in some cases with positive benefit—to the rivers for other purposes. For example, it is now a well-established fact that sewage is a valuable commodity, which ought not to be thrown away. The proper mode of utilising it is no part of this question, but it is clear that sewage cannot be tolerated in our rivers, where it is most noxious. The "separate system" of drainage, by which the rainfall is carried to the river and t o f p r o he m i s s e e wage retained The pollution better o f streams purposes, by m in full es and manufactures is still more serious. The subject is a very extensive one, and is now - being dealt with by a Commission ; but the inspectors are sure that this nuisance might be greatly mitigated without any loss whatever.

MARRIED BY MISTAKE. A correspondent sends to the Northern Whig the follow ing extraordinary story :—On Saturday last a marriage ceremony took place in a little town not twenty miles from Belfast. A youthful couple in humble circumstances —a Mr. Y. and a Miss H.—had made arrangements for becoming man and wife, and presented themselves before the curate of the village at the appointed hour. It would seem that the parties, before facing such a serious ceremony, had taken the "least taste" of something to "keep their courage cheery." When they presented themselves before the curate to have the ceremony performed, the bridegroom, either through ignorance of the required form, or modesty, or perhaps a mixture of both, kept rather a retiring position in the group, and his best man—Mr. P.—had to encourage him to stand forward. The intended bridegroom's modesty, however, still held him back, and he motioned to his best man to see to the matter being duly got through. The curate observing this movement, and misapprehending it, desired the persons motioned to stand forward, and repeat after him. Mr. P. rather demurred to this appeal, but the curate went on to say, "Repeat after me, I, James, do take thee," Scc. ; and, strange as the statement may appear, the young man was so dumbfounded that he did actually repeat the form of words aftepthe curate, performed the ceremony of putting on the ring,&c., while the bride repeated after the curate as desired, until the ceremony was concluded ! The best man, with all clue disinterestedness, at the close, at once gave up the bride to the intended bridegroom. So matters remained till Monday morning, when the parties most interested had a meeting with a view to having the matter set to rights. It soon appeared, however, that more serious difficulties than they apprehended stood in the way of this, and that, in order to effect the end desired, a visit to the Divorce Court, or even an Act of Parliament, may be necessary. VIE NORTH NORFOLK ELECTION INQUIRY. I The North Norfolk election inquiry was resumed on Thursday, and further evidence with respect to treating was given. One witness stated that he had voted five times, and up to the last election had always been paid. He held the opinion that a man ought to be paid for his conveyance to the poll, and to be treated. Another witness, who was asked to vote* for Mr. Walpole, one of the Conservative candidates, spoke to his having been treated to gin and beer. Other witnesses proved that railway tickets had been paid for. The most singular evidence was given by Richard Atkins Vine, who stated that he was a shoemaker at Norwich, and was at Yar mouth on the day of the election. He was at the Con servative committee-room during the day, upstairs and downstairs. It was not true that he received £5O 2s. fid. from Mr. Cornelius Hunter, to be expended in bribery. He made a statement to this effect, for which he was to have received £25 from the Liberal party, but the statement was untrue. (Applause from some of the auditory.)—Mr. Justice Blackburn said the man, by Lis own account, was behaving in the most disgraceful manner, and that any person should applaud was a thing not to be tolerated. —The witness said he made the statement to shew the manner in which the Liberal party was getting up evi dence. He went over to Yarmouth, pesple were pointed out to him, and he adopted them as having been bribed. He went over to Yarmouth to see if by any possibility he could persuade by moral means persons to vote for the Conservatives. Mr. Serjeant Ballantine : What do yon mean by moral means ?—Witness : My persuasive tongue. (Laughter.) I argued with them upon the Church and State question.—Mr. Serjeant Ballantine : Oh, you put it upon religious grounds. Witness : I went the whole length. I received £3 2s. for the whole of my work from Mr. Diver. I was watching the Liberal party. The witness entered into further details of the statements which he had made to the solicitor of the Liberal party.—Mr. Justice Black burn said he did not believe one word of what the witness had said, either on one side or the other. He trusted that no one either in Norwich or Yarmouth would ever dis grace himself by being in company with one who had so disgraced himself out of his own mouth. A young gentleman, about 18 years of age, was taken out of the Thames at Battersea on Thursday, appa rently but recently drowned. The body was taken to the Swan Tavern for identification. Deceased was dressed in black coat, light trousers, and Blucher boots. King John's Tower, one of the oldest buildings of Windsor Castle, is now in course of restoration by Messrs. Watson and Burfoot, who are also repairing the magazine Tower, on the north side of the palace, a short distance from the Winchester Tower. THE MAY MEETINGS. Amongst the annual meetings held in London on Thursday were those of the Sailors' Home, presided over by Admiral Sir W. Bowles ; 'he British and Foreign Sailors' Society, at,..which Mr. C. Reed, M.P., took the chair ; and the Alexandra Orphanage 'or Infants. There was a bazaar at St. James's Hall on behalf of the Missions to Seamen ; the Warehousemen and Clerks' Schools held their half-yearly meeting ; and the distribution of prizes to the pupils of Westminster Hospital took place in the board-room of that institu tion. THE LAST or His RACE,—The last of a race which died with him, Billy Lanny, known as " ICing Billy," the last of the aboriginal natives of Tasmania, has died at Hobart Town. For a long time he bad followed the life of a whaler, and he was very popular among the seamen, as a good-natured jolly fellow, and an amusing companion. He was not particularly proud of his ancestry, and when his portrait was taken by Mr. 'Woolley, in 18C6, for the Inter colonial Exhibition, he objected to the photograph as being "too black for him." He was, however, a pure bred Tas manian aboriginal, and as black as a sloe. He was on the regatta ground in January 1868, when his Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh patronised that festival, and, attired in a blue suit, with a gold lace band round his cap, he was presented to the Prince, who received him with kindly consideration. THE AMERICANS IN ALASKA..—The way our troops are " civilising off the face of the earth " the Alaska Indians, rather beats anything in our previous history. Both our army and navy have gone at them this time, and they have gloriously "destroyed various villages and stockaded forts" of the ancient inhabitants—of the poor little stumpy troglodytes who have owned the snow•clad region and lived on its fish ever since the days of Noah. We are told that in this case it was thought better to destroy the huts than to execute the people, as they place little value upon their lives, but will suffer dreadfully for want of shelter. This is altogether shocking. It is about time now for General Grant to do what he threatened some time ago—withdraw our troops from Alaska alto gether, if they cannot govern it without killing off the few icy -fingered Kakes who give life and diversity to its vast snow-covered solitudes. --New York Times. THE WORKHOUSE IN DANOEK.—TIio Oswestry Advertiser reports an amusing discussion which took place at a recent meeting of the poor.law guardians in that town, as to whether the girls in the workhouse should wear hats or bonnets. A proposal on the part of some benevolent persons to supply them with plain black straw hats free of charge excited the suspicion rather than the gratitude of the guardians. "It's like the altar-cloth," exclaimed one of them, " and we shall be going on to Roman Catholicism." Another detected the germ of a social revolution. " I shall deprecate it very strongly," he said. " I know my missis' won't allow one of her servant-girls to wear a hat. If the children are brought up to wear cock-a-lorum hats here, they'll want to wear them when they go away. They'll be wanting feathers next, and then you'd have young gentlemen coming courting after them.'' Finally one of the guardians moved that they should " stick to the bonnets," which was nreyd to, '~+: ~~...~ ~.-x :ate _~. ~ -_ ~, ot.ifff.Tt eZ t *- \- 4 4 ...., I q i l triiU tMt at gig 11 T Y* ' Y b HER iILIJES7T.

EMBEZZLEMENT BY A CLERK. William Kynaston, a clerk in the employ of Mr. Tebb, auctioneer, High Holborn, vrss brought up on remand charged with embezzlement. From the evidence it niveared that the prisoner's dal was, amonst other things, to collect the rent of certaia house property belonging to his employer in various parts of the metropolis and the suburbs. In a number of cases it was proved that he had received the money and given the proper receipt; but he had not properly entered the amount in his own book, neither had he accounted for it in any way. The prisoner said he had been taken into custody sud denly and his books taken from him, so he had not had au opportunity of making up his accounts. He admitted there was a balance against him, but that he had promised to pay when it was clearly made out what it was. Mr. Vaughan said he should direct the books to be sub mitted to the prisoner previous to his trial. He would, however, have no objection to take two good bail to th° amount of .£4O each for his appeal once at the sessions. The prisoner said that he would procure the necessarY sureties. MANSION-HOUSE. THE CHARGE AGAINST THE DIRECTORS OF THE ENGLISII JOINT-STOCK BANK.—To-day Mr. Samuel G. Fi nn ey, the manager of the English Joint-Stock Bank, Mr, James Abbiss, Mr. Thomas Bradshaw, and Mr. E. Mangles, were again in attendance befo:e the Lord Mayor to meet the charge preferred against them of publishing a false balance-sheet. The proceedings consisted mainly of the further e% - amination of Mr. Howell, the accountant, with a viow o f showing the purp oses to which the money advanced for the purposes of the tank Lad been applied, and also tie amount of interest the defendants had in the bank. The case was again adjourned. THAMES. EXTENSIVE AND IMPUDENT ROBBERIES.— Thomas Scott, a labourer, was charged with stealing lead and brass frog, the premises of Messrs. Wainwright and Gadsden, sugar" refiners, in Cable-street, Whitechapel. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, conducted the prosecution , and said two other men, named John Sullivan and John Crouch, had been convicted for their share in the robbery , and sentenced, one to 18 months, and the other to 13 months' imprisonment, both with hard labour. Police-sergeant Dunaway, 11 H, John Shepperd, con stable, 40 H, Joseph Newman, 20 H, and other witnesses' proved that some extensive premises in the occupation of the prosecutors in Cable-street had been robbed of lead and brass and other materials of great value, that on th e night of the 11th of September last the police officers kel t watch, and saw the prisoners Scott, Snliivan, and Crooci l engaged in the work of plunder, and that on Dunaway xamining the roof of 101, Cable-street, he found on the garden wall a drawer full of brass taps and copper' More brass taps and copper rivets were discovered on the roof of No. 103, Cable-street. There was a large stare of eimilur articles iu the same house. Sullivan and Crouch were apprehended at the time, and tried at the evening sessions. Dunaway searched the premises of Crouch, it marine store dealer on the night of the 11th September and found there 371bs of newly cut gutter lead unde r the counter. Dunaway took the lead to the roof of No. 101, Cable-street. The nail holes in the lead corresponded with the marks on the roof where lead had been ripped off. The complicity of th e prisoner in the robbery, and that he threw his cap over it wall while being pursued on the 11th of September, wa s clearly made out. Mr. Charles Young also called wit" nesses to prove that a large quantity of valuable pro" perty had been rem o v e d f rom W a i nwr i ght and Ga d s d e o4 premises. The prisoner, who has been playing the game of hid ° and seek since the robbery in question, made no defence and wes committed fur trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. STEALING AN OFFICER'S UNIFORM.

Mr. Patterson said that the prisoner, who was his ser vant, came to him on the 12th and asked him for £5, Mat' ng, that it was for Cayot Heathorn, a gentleman residing tt the club, and, believing the prisoner's statement, h ° gave him the money. On the following day the prisoner came again to him and asked for £lO, stating that it NO S for Cayot Heathorn, and be also gave him that sum. T he prisoner then left the house, and afterwards he (11r. fa t : terson) found that Cayot H eat h orn h a d no t g i ven th e pri ioner any authority to obtain the money. The prisoner said he had no questions to ask, and that he was guilty. Sergeant Todman, 4 C, said there was another charg 3 against the prisoner for stealing uniform belonging t ° Captain Heatham. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner, and said the charg e of robbery could be gono into on the next occasion. BANK OF FRANCE. PARIS, May 20.
