There were no gold operations at the Bank yes terday. The only transaction during the week since the date of the last return has been a with drawal of £50,000. The Donald M'Kay, from Melbourne, has brought £54,000. The Board of the Caledonian Railway Company have issued a reply to the recent statement of the North British Company regarding the joint purse a greement between the two companies. They offer what purport to be specific replies to the several charges against them, and conclude by asserting that these replies will satisfy the shareholders that the termination of the agreement is not, as alleged in the North British statement, the act of the Cale donian Board, but that the North British directors are alone responsible for it. In these circumstances, before the two companies get imito a hopeless quarrel to the damage of the shareholders' property, would it not be well for the respective boards to ascertain whether the breaking off of the agreement is desired or intended on either side ? Both parties seem to regard the event as an evil, and they bandy back ward and forward the responsibility of having caused it. The Mexican Bondholders' Committee have issued a report of their proceedings from March, 1868, the date of their appointment. It states that Mr. E. J. Perry, a British merchant in Mexico, has been charged to represent their interests, he having consented to do so without any claim for remunera tion, except in the event of his efforts resulting in a settlement. The Mexican Government promi,ed to furnish Mr. Perry with a proposal by the end of November last, but wholly neglected to do so, and in January communicated to him their determina tion to rob the bondholders of their rights, on the pretext that they had recognised the Emperor Maxi milian, and had conformed to certain arrangements at his hands. Uhler the circumstances the Com mittee propose shortly to convene a public meeting to take the opinion. of their constituents as to the course to be pursued. At that meeting the Commit tee will submit a form of memorial for presentation to the British Foreign Office. Alderman Sir Sydney H. Waterlow, the chair man of the Improved Industrial Dwellings Com pany (Limited), has issued a circular stating that it is proposed, with the view to close the capital a ccount, to restrict the share capital, which now amounts to £106,750, to a total of £125,000, and that as a similar sum may he borrowed from the Government under the operation of the Labouring, Classes' Dwellings Act, 1866, the aggregate capital will then be a quarter of a million sterling. The P ri ncipal object is to remove the prevalent disbelief In the profitable ness o f such undertakings. This can : ° est be done by showing that a large sum of money has been invested in providing decent and comfort able homes for workmen in various parts of London at an average annual profit of at least 5 or 6 per cen t. ; and although the profit of each separate in vestment can already be shown by a comparison of t he net rental with the cost, general results will be l st effe ct i ve l y and conc l us i ve l y es t a bli s hed by the closing of the capital account of the present com p.TY, and by the publication of balance sheets ex hibiting the details of a series of investments upon a large scale. The share capital of £18,250 st i ll unallotted is offer e d p referentially to shareholders who may desir e t o i ncrea s e their present holdings, Provided the applications are sent in during the P r esent month. T he subma r i ne t e l egrap h ca bl e b e t w een Den and Liebau (Russia) has been successfully ivu.m.pleted by Mr. W. T.

The m i n i mum pr i ce was fi xe d at ' s ' lid. on both presidencies. Tenders on both Presidencies at ls. 114 d. will receive about 20 per ee nt• ; tho se a b ove that price i n f u ll . T e 0 Th e report of the Scottish Australian Mining i tr n3 , P a nY (Limited), to be presented on the 14 th ''e: shows an available total of £7 , 385, an d re commends a divid en d at t h e rate o f 8 per cent. per annum, which will leave £2,25% to be carried for- Ward. The report of the Trust and Agency Company of Australasia (limited), to be submitted on Monday ile xt, shows an available balance of £20,466. After ad ding £lO,OOO to reserve fund, the directors re commend the usual dividend and bonus of 3s. per , ; 2/ha re, makin g w i t h the interim dividend, a distri bution of 20 per cent. for the year. The sum of £2,966 will remain to be carried forward. The re serve fund is now £50,000, of which £40,000 is invested in Conso;s. A. t the annua l meeting of the Sovereign Life °time yesterday the report stated that the new pre nuurns received last year amounted to £9,469, assuring £300,830. The report cf the Scottish Imperial Insurance C ompany for the year ended the 31st of December last shows that the fire revenue was £19,826, while the losses were £7,987, and that life assurances were completed for £141,825, producing annual pre -411:11113 of £3,962.

Seymour, Q.C., and Mr. Gibson appeared for Madame Rachel ; Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr. Jell for Mr. Haynes. Mr. Hawkins said this matter was before the court last term on an affidauit of Madame Rachel complaining of certain money transactions between her and Mr. Haynes, her then attorney. It was re.. ferred to the master to examine and report. Master Smith then read his report. His finding in substance was that the charge that Mr. Haynes had received between £20,000 and £30,000 on ac count of Madame Rachel, for which he had given no account, was unfounded. The charge of con spiracy against Mr. Haynes was also unfounded. Mr. Gibbons, in the absence of Mr. Seymour, was proceeding to refer to an item of £250, relative to the payment of rent by Mr. Haynes, when The Lord Chief Justice said the question was whether the court could interfere summarily to compel Mr. Haynes to pay money when the Master reported that it was doubtful whether, any money was due from Mr. Haynes to Madame Rachel. There was nothing to prevent them bringing an action to recover the balance, if any were due to her. Un der these circumstances the court could not make the rule absolute against Mr. Haynes. The Lord Chief Justice said it was a case for a jury to decide, and not for the summary and penal jurisdiction of the court. Rule discharged with costs. r`arco►4u iuUL tatmet.

A SOLEMN QUESTION. —A representation is to be made to Mr. Gladstone to make the Whitsuntide holidays date from the rising of the house on Friday, the 14th inst., until Monday, the 31st; and the probability is that, as the consideration of the report on the Irish Church Bill is likely to occupy the whole of Thursday and Friday in next week, the Premier will see the propriety of acceding to what ap pears, under the circumstances, to be a reasonable request. —The Owl. TIME: , : STEAMERS DESTROYED. —The breaking up of the ice on the Vo]ga hae occasioned a serious acci dent near Nijni Novgorod, at the village of Pietchera. The blocks of ice carried down by the current have do stioyed three steamers, one of 200 horse-power, and the other two of 80 each. The iron sheets of these vessels, the engines, and the boilors, were all smashed, and shortly afterwards sank. The loss is estimated at nearly .£30,000; Eight boats and a landing erection in wood were also dashed violently against each other and broken up. For innately no personal injury was sustained.

Independent, Mr. Taylor, gives an account of the working of tho Forbes Mackenzie Act in Scotland, which at the present time is not without interest. Mr. Taylor, as a friend of the - temperance cause, was much rejoiced at the passing of the Act, regarding it as the precursor of a similar law in England. The Act provides that all public-houses shall be closed at eleven o'clock on 'week days, while on Sundays they shall be closed altogether. Since the introduction of this measure the police reports skew that drunkenness has very much decreased, but the writer discovered the existence of a number of so-called clubs in Edinburgh, which are the property of a new class of dealers in intoxi cating drinks. He obtained admission to twenty-five of these, and found them crowded with men and women. These were drinking most excessively, but were not allowed to leave the houses until the effect of their deep potations 'hal worn off. The houses are of different kinds, and classes ; and the visitor was much discouraged by his visit, coming to the eonclusion that the Forbes Mackenzie Act was a failure. Mr. Taylor, however, had great difficulty in obtaining access to these places, having to be made "free" of them. The open public•houses, on the other hand, would entrap the unwary. STRANGE OCCURRENCE AT THE PRESTON RAILWAY STATION. The Liverpool Courier reports a strange occurrence at Preston on Tuesday. Shortly before four o'clock the express approached the Preston station. There was a cry of "Look out—a man naked" raised, and on the train getting nearer,. a gentlemanly-looking man, with sandy whiskers and flowing h a i r , was seen leaning out of the window of one of the carriages with not a particle of apparel upon him. In a rnakint or two afterwards the train was brought to a stand, and on the door of the carriage whence the party in question was observed leaning brit "being opened there was seen a stalwart person stark naked, in an excited mood, seated near the door. He was kept in the carriage until a pair of stockings, trousers, and an overcoat were procured. He was considerably agitated when taken from the carriage, but afterwards becam e quieter, and talked ve r y ra ti ona lly. In reply to questions put to him, he said that he had not been well for a considerable length of time ; that he had bad certain family grievances ; that he fancied his rela tives wished to put him into a lunatic asylum ; that he left Falkirk that (Tuesday) morning, and " slipped " some of his friends further south; that at Carlisle he got some thing to drink from somebody, and felt ill afterwards; that at Oxeuholme be gave thirty-ono half-sovereigns to the conductor Of the train ; that between Lancaster and Garstang he stripped himself, having an idea that he was going to die, and that he might as well leave "something behind him to mark his identity ;" threw away his coat and waistcoat, containing a gold watch, having appended to it a guard and seals ; also his trousers, boots, shoes, stockings, and silk shirt. He had with him on arriving at _the Preston station half a sovereign in one hand, also a bank-book and a cheque-book. His friends in the north lave-been communicated with, and he will be immediately conveyed either to his home or an asylum. DEPUTATION TO THE HOME SECRETARY FROM THE UNITED KINGDOM ALLIANCE. On Wednesday a large and influential deputation of the council and supporters of the United Kingdom Alliance had an interview with the Right Hon. 11. A. Bruce, the Home Secretary, to press upon his notice the importance of Sir Wilfrid Lawson's Permissive Prohibitory Liquor Bill. The following are the names of a few only of the gentlemen who were present :—Archbishop Manning, Mr. Bazley, M.P., Sir Wilfrid Lawson, M.P., Mr. Thomas Whitworth, M.P., Mr. Blake, M.P., Mr. Saunders, Mr. Bennett, Mr. Pope, Alderman Carter, Mr. Stenthal, the Rev. Dawson Burns, the Rev. Canon Jenkins, Mr. Barker, Mr. Raper, Mr. Rodway,— Mr. Hastings, Professor Kirk, Mr. Strahan, Rev. J. Jones, and Mr. Smedley. The deputation was introduced I y Mr. Dazley, who pointed out how materially the duties of the Home Office and of the magistracy throughout the country would be reduced if means could be devised to get rid of the enormous amount of drunkenness which at present pre- vailed. Mr. PorE, Recorder of Bolton, drew attention to the memorial which bad been adlpted by the United Kingdom Alliance. Sir Wilfrid Lawson's bill would not embarrass or impede any efforts which the Government might think fit to make for the amendment of the licensing system, and it was applicable in its pro visions to each of the three kingdoms. Archbishop MANNING, as the result of a thorough prat. tical knowledge of the subject, did not hesitate to say that no statistics that had yet been furnished gave any. thing like an adequate idea of the extent of the evil pro duced by drink. There was nothing oppressive about the bill. To carry its provisions into effect a majority of two thirds would be required. He believed that the poorer class of people especially, if they had such a machinery placed in their hands as would enable them to get rid of -the evils of drink would.hail it with delight. Mr. BRUCE, who much regretted that he was compelled at once to go down to the House of Commons, as an im portant matter was about to be brought forward by the Government, said he need not assure the members of the deputation that he had the most hearty sympathy with those who were striving to get rid of the enormous evils resulting from intemperance. Whether the precise way which they suggested to do this, or some other way that might be devised, was best, was a matter which remained to be seen. The subject would be fully discussed in the House when Sir Wil. frid Lawson's bill was brought forward, as he understood it would' be, next week. Once more expressing his regret that for the reason stated above he wit* compelled to retire, Mr. Bruce intimated that Mr. Knatchbull-Hngessen, Under• Secretary, would remain to hear anything further that the members of the deputation might desire to say. Canon Jenkins, Professor Kirk, Mr. Raper, and several other gentlemen having spoken, Mr. Knatchbull-Hugessen assured the members of the deputation that the subject they had so ably brought forward was one which had received, and would receive, great attention at the hands The deputation expressing their gratification at the manner in which they had been received, then withdrew. The Judgeship of the Landed Estates Court is not yet actually filled, but the Irish Times believes there is no doubt that the selection will fall on Mr. Stephen Wonlle Flanagan. A Dublin correspondent telegraphs that the National Association has passed resolutions expressing con fidence in the promises of Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Bright to bring in a moasure dealing with the Irish land question. There seems no prospect, as yet, of a settlement of the dispute in the building trade at Sheffield. The master builderatif Sheffield, and the master carpenters and joiners, last evening passed tosolutious dL ciditig to adhere to their intention of payment by the hour system. The Marquis of Salisbury has given notico of his intention to call the attention of the House of Lord•, on Friday to the views of Irish policy which are re ported to have been expressed by the President of the Board of Trade ; and to ask how far they are to be taken as the views of the Cabinet. A movement is on foot in the county of Cork in favour of having agriculture taught at the different national schools in the country. Mr. Maguire, M.P., has intimated that he will do all in his power to promote the object. Mr. Portescue has acknowledged resolutions of the Cork Agri cultural Society forwarded to him on the ku bj et, but in • doing so expresses no opinion. The Church News Fiats Church LA_ the Associa tion has set on foot prosecutions against Mr. Lowder, of Bt. Peter's, London Docks ; Mr. Le Geyt, of St. Matthias's, Stoke Newington; and Mr. Rodwell, of St. Etholburg:t's, Bishopgate. All these clergymen, wo believe, have refused to comply with the ritual judgment, and still burn altar lights and use incense. The last stone of the new spire erected at LlandalT Cathedral has been Execl by the bishop of the diocese. Tin+ spire is 183 feet high. The last stone was hauled up by n winch, which the right rev. prelate turned in a workman like manner," After having set the stone, Lis lordship made AU address, LI which he gave a lucid history of the Noon li9ll9t CiOetiral frEga its commencement.

The house divi.led, when there appeared— For the amondnvnt 121 Against it 154 Majority against THE PERMISSIVE PROHIBITORY BILL. A great number of petitions from different places in tho metropolis and all parts of the country were presented in favour of the Permissive Bill. EXAMINATION OF WITNESSES. Sir T. ESMONDE gave notice that to-morrow he should ask for leave to introduca a bill to unable the louse of Commons to examine witnesses on oath. THE SEWAGE AT BARKING. Mr. BRUCE, in reply to Mr. Eastwick, said his atten tion had boen called to the condition of the river Thames, near Barking, occasioned by the discharge of sewage through the main outfall sewers, and the memorial which he bad received should receive his best consideration, and ho would do all in hie iew'or h •remedy the nuisance. TAE BETTING-HOUSE ACT. Mr. BRUCE, in reply to Mr. Henry Beaumont; said it was altogether accurate to say that the Betting-house Act was enforced. During the last four years there had b3on five convictions at least, and the reason there had not been more was that there was very great difficulty in obtaining a conviction in consequence of its being necessary to prove the fact that betting took place within the house. The owners of these betting houses wore particularly cautious to allow no betting to take place before any strangers, and therefore the proving the offence was a matter of great difficulty. There had, however, been a conviction for infringing the act within the last year. The Chief Commissioner of Police was now engaged in taking steps to suppress all illegal betting, and in all cases where the necessary evidence could be obtained it was his intention to press most strongly for a conviction. THE IRISH CHURCH. Mr. GLADSTONE, in reply to Mr. M'Evoy, said that all prelates that might be appointed before the Ist of January, 1871, would of course hold their titles for life; but reap:Tt to those who might be appointed after tho diseaablishment bill, he believed that the law was not altogether clear as to the right they would have to call themselves bishops and cleans of any particular church, which was not at all desirable should exist. TILE INCONS TA NT. Mr. CIIILDERS, in reply to Sir J. Hay, said the acci dent to the Inconstant was occasioned by a defective cast ing-, and there was no reason to deplore anything except the loss cf a certain quantity of brass. THE DERRY RIOTS. lir. C. FORTE3UUE said there was no documents to :ay on the table with respect to the proclamation of Derry. The Lord Lieutenant acted as he had a right, to do on the representations of lite magistracy. THE RIFLE RANGE Al' CHELMSFORD. Mr. CARDWELL said the rifle range had been re ported as unsafe, and steps had at onto been taken to remedy the case, and it would not be used until it had been reported safe. PRINT WORKS. Mr. BRUCE said ho could not give a promise relative to the introduction of a bill relating' to the hours of labour of women and children until he had received the report of those inquiring into tLe subject. THE IRISH CHURCH BILL. The committee on this bill was proceeded with, the de bate being renewed on the amendment of Sir G. Jenkin son, to strike out the words, in the 39th clause, giving com pensation to the College of Maynonth. Col. BARTELOTT said he could not find words strong enough to convey .his opposition to the clause as it on-, ginally stood. He said he cared little what the right 1103. gentleman (Mr. Gladstone) might have meant, the country Most implicitly believed that none of the fun-ls of tha Established Church was to go to the College of Maynooth. It was their belief, from what had been said by the tight hon. gentleman that the grant to Maynooth was to cease altogether. If Lo stood alone he would do all ho could to fulfil that expectation. Mr. G LADSTONE did not believe that the country was so particularly ill informed—(hear and cheers)—on the subject as to clearly understand that there was a special promise not to apply any of the funds of the Estab lished Church of Ireland to the maintenance of the Col lege of Maynooth. He did not believe that such a feeling existed, and with o respoet to the College of Maynooth, it was treated on equal terms with the Presbyterians. Ile was surprised that all other means having failed there was to be a raking up of religious pre- : juiices against the bill. He could not but say that it. only showed how every nerve was to be exerted to destroy . a bill, the obj ec t o f w hi c h was t o di sen d ow a Ch urc h w hi c h had never been able to stand on its own feet. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) Sir J. ELPHINSTONE said be firmly believed that the feeling did exist that no grant was to bo given to the College of Maynooth. Ho fully believed the right honourable gentlemen opposite would not have had a majority at the general election, if it had been clearly stated that a largo portion of the Irish Church was to be given to the . College of Maynooth. Ile thought that some at least of the Scottish re presentatives were not acting inconsistently in support ing a Government that proposed to endow a college. Ho thought the hon. member for Edinburgh, at all events; had on a former occasion given his vote against the grant to Maynooth. Mr. M'LAREN defended the vote ho had given, and said that had the proposal been to give a large sum of money to Maynooth out of the Consolidated Fund there would have been opposition from all corners of the laud, but the proposal to give it out of the funds of the dis.sstab fished Church of Ireland was quite a different matter. The LORD-ADVOCATE also defended his vote on the same occasion. Sir J. ELPIINSTONE said when it was known in Scotland that the Scotch members were in league with Cardinal Cullen, it would create the greatest excite ment, and the news would go as a fiery cross through the country.

To-day the managers of the " Deptford Spec," Alexander Leishman, the proprietor, 10, Florence cottages, Deptford ; Alex. Walker, 12, Florence cottages ; Charles Clayton, stationer, Clarence place, Deptford ; William Daniels, Plumstead road ; Thomas Stephen Morris, dairyman, 25, Central-street, St. Luke's, surrendered to their bail, to answer an indictment preferred against them at the instance of the Government of illegally keeping and carrying on a lottery on horse-racing contrary to the statute 16th and 17th Victoria. The defendants pleaded guilty. It will be recollected from the very full report of the case which appeared in The Sun, when the de fendants were first examined at Bow-street before Sir Thomas Henry, that Inspector Clark, Ser geant Palmer and Sergeant Suuerway of the detec tive department, Scotland-yard, went to Deptford on the evening of the day prior to the pay ment of the money prizes for the City and Suburban, and, on taking Leishinan into custody at his residence, 10, Florence-cottages, which was used as an office, a sum of amounting to op~ £l4OO was taken possession of, d.nu also the lottery wheels, tickets, &c., which had been prepared for 41.^ f lotteries that were advertised as about to take place. The defendants, Alexander Walker and Charles Clayton, were also taken into custody at their residence, at Deptford. At the residence of the latter was found an enormous num ber of draw tickets, enough to fill two or three bushel baskets. The defendants Daniels and Morris, although connected with the lottery, did not reside at Deptford, and the defendant Farrah was a newsagent and stationery, carrying on busi ness in the Strand, who it appeared sold tickets for these various " specs," and at whose place of business a number of similar tickets to those found at Leislunan's together with tickets for the " Californian Spec.," the " Lucky Bag," the " Carshalton Spec.," and others were found. The evidence to be offered was the same as that already published, and related to the seizure of the tickets and money, and to a description of the draw for one of the " specs" which took place in the b,?erhouse in the neighbourhood of Holloway. For the defendants it was contended that they had not acted in any fraudulent manner, b w u it t h h o a u v t inigntberefeenre n al c l o oN f v o e r d t hteo last t ry s x on y o t a h r e s d ' s u p r e i o c which which they had honourably met all their ga E that their enis. llicy were unde r the im p ression proce edings were not look ed u p on as any seriuus infringe ment of the Act of Parliament. It was al.° urged that ha I notic.: to discontiinte been ,ent prior to the seizure it would at once have been obeyed. The learned s-.sgea.nt said if the money could not be returned to the subscribers, the defendants would give their consent to its being distribtEed among the local charities. Mr. Poland thought this an excellent suggestion. The Recorder said the best course would be for the defendants to enter into their rccogoizances to appear if called upon, and if there was a satisfac tory arrangement they would not be called upon. The defendants then entered into their recogni zauces or £lOO each.
