The Bank of Holland has raised its rate of dis %tint to 5 per cent. Y 'renders for £230,000 in bills on India were re ceived at the Bank of England yesterday, and were e atirel allotted to Calcutta.

With reference to the loan of £BO,OOO, repay /114e with interest in 1889, applied for by the Kew an d other Bridges Joint Committee, we under stand that a portion of the loan was accepted at th e rate of £230 and £231 per £lOO, and that the r u unittee are willing to accept the balance at t h e latter rate. The official liquidators of the Albert Life As ttic,ta4ee Company have convened a meeting of t h e - P r esentative Policyholders Committee for Mon day next, th e Bth in s t., for the purpose of consider ing a scheme which has been prepared, and has r t ei ved. the approval of the board of an old established life assurance society, under which pill b e of Albert policies on lives now assurable be granted new policies on equitable and ad balltageous terms. This arrangement, if adopted t he policyholders, will, in the opinion of the k e l l udators, co ns ide r ably reduce the liabilities of the Ib ert Company. 44 eSSrs. Louis and Son, merchants, of Manchester and Bradford, have issued a circular convening a meeting of their creditors. t he directors of the City Offices Company (Li mited 3 0th ) have issued their report, with accounts to th ' September last. It states that the success of ref e Policy recommended at the last meeting, to iitl,"eve the company from its various responsibi " k 3, ,, has been complete. The debentures for t 1 00 0, which fell due on the Ist of July, were punctuall y provided for ; the loan of £40, 000 bor oWecl On the security of the Lombard-street pro perty has been paid off, and the company placed in iitte" ea ! f ectly secure position.

The rental now amounts to L ' B9 o, exclusive of any return from the Lombard ti l : t ua nge, the receipts of which from all sources t° the present time have exceeded £5,000 ; and ta e t directors consider it will require only a mode -43 i mprovement in the lettings to enable the ti:!eholders at length to derive some benefit from 14 investments. sacrum MUIS—TWO frOLOOK. i kiOPERNMENT YUNDS.

THE LEIGII IIUN7 MEMORIAL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—As most statements have two sides to them, permit me in your columns to make mine with refe rence to your leading article and the Leigh Hunt Memorial. The design first given by me to Mr. S. C. llall, who originated the memorial, was to cost 100 guineas, not £l2O. Mr. Hall said that it could not be done for the money. My reply was, " Yes, it can ; for I desire no gain from it." Mr. Hall collected some £6O or £7O, and for a time it went into abeyance, and was at length re newed by Mr. Mayer. Altogether nearly £220 was subscribed. At the meeting you name, the original drawing was apon the table, and I was asked what would remunerate me now that there was money enough. I said £l5O, and a resolution was passed accept ing it at that sum. Then came a ques tion about the grave : the family gave it up to the committee, and more ground was purchased ; instead of 2 feet 6 inches by 6 feet, it became 7 feet 6 inches Equare. I then proposed to the committee that the Memo rial should stand iu the centre of this, upon a large marble base, and so isolate it, instead of its being in a line with the tombstones. That which now occupies the centre is the origi nal design. Next, it was thought it ought to be railed in. I obtained a drawing from Mr MTharlaine, of Glas gow, laid it before the committee, and they approved of it. That implied a necessity for foundations, kerb, &c. Now the committee knew all this, step by step; and can any one understand more than 1 did, that it was all included in the £l5O ? I enclosed to the treasurer a list of every sepa rate item I had paid, and told bias I would bring all the receipts with me to the final committee meeting. You desire to know if, when I pre sented the bill, I felt " shame-faced." I atsure you I did not ; when men believe they act honestly they never do. I, however, confess an error, as a member present remarked, I ought to have had a resolution passed for each addition to the memorial. I only thought it was to be made as good as it could with the funds in hand, but I never dreamed that the trea surer's account would absorb nearly as much money as that required to give the memorial ten times the importance it otherwise would have had. Let me say, not one sixpence of these extras came into my pocket for all the time and care given to it, and when I found how small the balance was I offered to hand the treasurer the receipts and de liver up my claim, which several members of the committee would not permit me to do. How could I be " shamefaced ?" There is another error in your remarks—that the treasurer has washed his hands of the affair. That cannot be, for on Monday I received a letter from him. He says—" We are not satisfied." I don't know who " we" are. Certainly not the committee. Then again he says—" You must comply with my request," which is as follows :—" We require (1) the vouchers for all the sums you have paid out of the £l5O, as well as for the items comprising the £4l 12s. Gd., and (2) a statement from you ; how much of the £l5O you regard as payment for your own labour." Now this request is as if you asked a painter the cost of his canvas, brushes, colours, &c., in your estimate of the work. The public may now judge of the Memorial as it stands in the cemetery. The centre portion repre sents the original design, which was to cost £l5O ; and all else in sight, and foundations underground, including the cost of enlarging the space, represent an expenditure of £4l ; and as by this letter the public will know the exact cost of the Leigh Hunt Memorial, viz., £l9l, it is as well to state that I would not produce in future any such work under 280 guineas.—Your obedient servant, JOSEPH DURHA3I. 21, Devonshire-street, Portland-place, W., Nov. 4, 1869. In the important case under argument in the United States Circuit Court at Baltimore, at the suit of creditors of a bankrupt firm against the three National banks, on the ground that the banks had discounted to the firm four times as much as they had authority to do under the law, namely, $BOO,OOO whereas they should have loaned it but $200,000, the difference, $600,000 or rather the securities left with the banks to secure the payment of that amount, the bankrupts' creditors contend should be sur rendered to them. The banks contend in defence that, admitting their loans were in excess of the limits pre scribed by the National Banking law, their title to the se curities pledged with them, and upon the faith of which the loans were made, would not be affected thereby ; that the penalties for a violation of the law, if any has been committed, are fixed by the law itself, and can only be en forced by the Comptroller of the Currency, in a suit in his own name, and that least of all can the parties to whom the loans were made, or those claiming under them, come into Court after having received the loans and demand back the securities. The case has been elaborately and ably argued by a host of legal talent, the concluding argument having been made yesterday by Hon. Reverdy Johnson.--Phila delphia Ledger. LADVicaTisEmitifT. J—Avoid Medicines: they always aggravate chronic complaints: but Du Barry's delicious health-restoring Revalenta Arabica Food, which yields three times the nourish mentof the best meat, saves 50 times its cost in other remedies, and invariably restores perfect digestion, strong nerves, sound lungs, healthy liver, pure blood, refreshing sleep, functional re gularity, anti energy to the most disordered or enfeebled. We ex tract a few out of the 63,000 cures:—" The Pope's health restored by Du Barry's Food. Cure No. 63,413. "Rome, July 21, 186 G. —The health of the Holy Father is excellent, especially since abandoning all other remedies, he has confined himself entirely to Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica Ford, of which he consume' a plateful at eveey meal.

TEMPLE. -4,- A communication has been made to us (Exeter and Ply mouth Gazette) on what we believe to be thoroughly reliable authority, which we publish with great pleasure, because it will no doubt tend to remove apprehensions that have been excited by the appointment of Dr. Temple to the See of Exeter. Our correspondent is not unwilling to be held per orally responsible for the statement which he authorises us to make, but we do not think it is desirable to publish his name. He declares from personal knowledge that when the "Essays and &views" were first iseu: d Dr. Temple assem bled the Masters of Rugby and told them that he had been to some extent drawn unawares into complication of the other six essays of that book ; that he was shocked when the work calm out, to find h:s essay associated with such writings rs those of the ether essayists and reviewers; and that h f it le?. had committed the greatest mistake of Lis life w 11,41 I e allow. d Lis essay on "The Education of the Word" .o a_ pear in that work. THE S( LICITOR-GENERAL IN THE WEST. On Tuesday evening the Solicitor-General presided at the annual meeting of the Newton Agricultural Associa tion. South Devon. The Right Hon. Earl Devon was also present. In proposing " The bishop and clergy of the diocese and ministers of all other denomi nations," Sir John Coleridge said he trusted the Church of England would long continue. He hoped that those who, not very wisely,were sometimes clamouring for disestablishment would reflect that they themselves owed not a little of their own position to that wise tolera tion which the strong arm of the State enforced. For his own part he rejoiced that within the National Church, room was found for Bishop Phillpotts and Bishop Temple. He was no particular admirer of the character, and no particular sympathiser with the political and ecclesiastical opinions, of the late Bishop of Exeter. But he thought every man would admit that he was a great and famous prelate; that he made the name of the Bishop of Exeter the name of the most famous ecclesiastic of our days; that he was truly fearless and uncomprcmising in the maintenance and assertion of his opinions, as he thought them, whether they were popular or unpopular ; that he was not afraid of great men ; that he was not afraid even of the news papers. With regard to his successor, Dr. Temple had been to his contemporaries an example of the very highest standard of duty uncompromisingly carried into practice; of stern self-denial, yet of manly cheerfulness that never flagged ; of noble powers most nobly used ; and of powers strengthened and hallowed in their exercise by Christian principle and Christian Charity. Sir John Coleridge, in proposing "Success to the Newton Abbot Agricultural and Labourers' Friend Association," said : There are one or two matters upon which I should like to detain you for a few moments. First, I would venture to ask, Do you think that the farmers as a class, have yet sufficiently grasped the idea of the absolute necessity of considerable improvement in their own education ? If anything is certain, this is, that a great and thorough system of national education is the one great necessity of the time; that the want of this education is becoming generally acknowledged; sooner or later that want will be supplied. I don't pretend to aspire to the gift of prophecy. As a mere subordinate of the Government I have no more know ledge of the intentions of the Government than any other gentleman in this room. But I only say what any man would say possessed of common sense and using ccmmon observation—that looking at and contemplating the signs of the times it is tolerably certain that if a national system cf education takes place—and I believe that sooner or later it will take place—it will be a system which will not apply itself to farmers as a class, and they will have to find their own education for them selves. Depend upon it he is the truest farmers' friend who bids them to look well to this matter. This is closely and immediately connected with a subject upon which we have heard a good deal of angry discussion of late— I mean the physical condition of the labouring classes in this part of the world. Now, it is quite certain that if there be a system of national education applied to these lasses, the very first thing which they will reflect upon is their own physical condition ; the very first thing they will turn their minds to is their own position and prospects in the present state cf things. Now I ask, in no scoffing or censorious spirit, but in the spirit of a man honestly seeking information at the hands of persons who know much more about the subject than myself—is the condition of the labouring classes in this part of England satisfactory? Is it what it might be? Is it what it ought to be ? Is it such that we Devonshire men can reflect on with comfort and credit ? Sir Charles Trevelyan, a west countryman of great ability, of no mean intelligence, of judicial and impartial judgment, and, so far as I am ware, without any personal or party bias to distort his views , has drawn a picture of a state of things in this part of the country which must be most painful and depressing to any one who has read of it or who has contemplated it. Now, is there any foundation for Sir Charles Trevelyan's statements ? lie had no remedy to propose. As a lawyer, and not a land lord, he could not be expected to suggest any, but he earnestly pressed upon the farmers to give the subject their best attention. ANOTHER ROBBEBY BY A 13_431C CLERK. At the Mansion House, on Wednesday, George Hyde, 27, a bank clerk, was brought up before Sir Robert Carden, on a charge of robbing his employers, Messrs. Barnett, Hoare, and Co., of a bank note for £5OO, in October 1867. Ho was also charged with embezzling various sums of money, amounting to upwards of £4OO. In October 1867, the prisoner was a clerk in the service of Messrs. Barnett, Hoare, and Company, bankers, Lombard street, and it appeared that on Saturday, the 19th of that month, he received a sum of £3,650 in bank notes, which was paid in after bank hours to the credit of Messrs. W. Adams and Co., merchants, Bishopsgate-street, but he only entered in the books £3,150, and retained a bank-note for £5OO. On the following Monday or Tuesday, Mr. Gray, the principal clerk in the bank, spoke to him about a draft for £368. He replied that he had left it for accep tance at the Paymaster-General's Office, and he said he would go and get it. He left api arcntly for that purpose, but never returned, and nothing was heard of him until a few days ago when he gave himself up to the police at St. Helen's, in Lancashire. Ho was remanded for a week. ATTEMPT TO UPSET A TRAIN. -- - o--- The following is from the Dublin Evening Mail :—"An attempt was made on Monday to upset the morning up train from Trim, and was only frustrated by the vigilance of a milesman. Some miscreants had raised one of the rails at a short curve about a mile from Ath boy station, placing the end of it upon that of the next. All the bolts and fastenings had been removed and thrown into an adjoining field. Fortunately the approaching train was stopped at Athboy, or the consequences might have been very fatal. The number of passengers was large, the majority being on their way to Navan to attend the meeting there. No trace has yet been dis covered of the perpetrators of the outrage. We under stand that the early train which was fortunately stopped in time to prevent what would, in all probability, have been a very fatal accident, contained five Roman Catholic priests and 190 farmers proceeding to a tenant right meeting at Navan. The belief in the district is that the outrage was a Fenian device to stop the meeting. ATTEMPT ASSASSINATION OF A PRIEST. The Dublin Evening Post gives details of the "Orange outrage in the county of Cavan," in which one man was shot dead and several wounded. The particulars are thus given :—The Rev. James Dunne, P.P., of Anna, and the Rev. Mr. Smith, C.C., accompanied by some respectable tenant farmers, were running home from Cavan about six o'clock on Monday evening, having been present at the great tenant-right demonstration. The two clergymen were seated on a private car, and just as they reached a sequestered part of the road near the Druma lee a volley was fired by a party of Orangemen, Who had evidently laid in ambush for them. The two clergymen fortunately escaped unhurt, but one of the men who was behind the car was shot dead on the spot; another man was wounded in the forehead, another in the thigh, and others received injuries more or less serious. The horse drawing the car on which the reverend gentle men were seated was also shot dead. The assassins, of course, fled at once ; but the police have been scouring the country all night, and have succeeded in making one or two arrests. We learn from our Dublin telegrams, the Pall Mall Gazette states, that the attempted assassination was, as might have been anticipated, warmly discussed in the Dublin papers of onWednesd ay. The Roman Catholic journals unhesitatingly ascribe the outrage to Orangemen, while the Protestant papers aro equally unanimous in attributing it to the Fenians. THE CLIMATE OF VICTORIA.—The climate of Australia is undergoing alterations in consequence of d nudation of tree covering. In the Ballarat district the destruction of the timber has been accompanied by a corresponding diminution of the rainfall. The Govern ment of Victoria have appointed an Inspector of State Forests to prevent the waste of timber, and to establish nuneriesAf .19mt tree# ilki4C.l.2.llnaY‘ PARIS CORRESPONDENCE. NVEDNESDIY. M. le Prefet de Police has been doing a very foolish thing. He has closed an electoral meeting, at which the question of the oath was to have been discussed. I have already told you that the idea of electing candidates who will refuse to take the oath is generally disapproved of ; if so, there was the less need for an arbitrary display of power, which could only irritate the electors. Two Radical delegates have been despatched to M. Ledru- Rollin to ascertain whether he will present himself as a candidate. It is probable, under the circumstances, that he will refuse to do so, as he objects to the sennent. When the delegates return we shall be able to calculate with more exactitude the chances of the Opposition can didates. I hear that M. de Forcade la Roquette has despatched most authoritative instructions to the prefects—a fact which augurs ill for the Liberal intentions of the Cabinet. Prince Napoleon, since his return. to Paris, has been Ming a succession of /Lae; for public functionaries, deputies, and others have been constantly visiting him. M. Emile 011ivier has been in communication with the Prince. Malicious wits affirm that M. 011ivier spends his life in refusing portfolios that are never offered to him! The Liberti has received some rather ominous news from the departments. The committees of the Radical Demo crats of Paris have informed the provincial committees that they intend to put all possible pressure on the members of the Opposition, to constrain them to demand the impeachment of the Ministry, and to make this im peachment coincident with the 2nd of December. The Patrie announces that a modification of the obnoxious Article 75 of the Constitution of the year VIII. is in contemplation, and that it will satisfy all whose interests are affected. Two other questions of great political interest will be discussed by the Conseil d'etat. These are the nomination of the mayors, and the determination of the functions compatible with the office of deputy. The first of these topics is likely to give rise to a good deal of discussion. The Council begins its deliberations to-morrow, but these points will probably not be touched upon until near the end of the month. The Ministry have gone to Compiegne to attend a Council, but will return to-morrow. There has been some talk of the Prince de la Tour d'Auvergne resigning his place as Foreign Secretary, and M. de Talhouet was named as his successor, but the latter refused to enter tain the idea unless his own friends were in the Ministry. No immediate change in the Cabi net is anticipated. It is said that M. Thiers has been requested to select those most fitted for Ministers among the members of the Left Centre, in the event of that party being called to power. The France alludes to the sinister reports which have prevailed respecting the health of the Emperor, and admits that for three days the Emperor was affected by the weather. It denies in the most emphatic manner that a relapse has taken place, or that any serious change has occurred. The Emperor took advantage of his visit to Paris to have a consultation of doctors. The Constitutionnet affirms that the health of his Majesty is most satisfactory. The Loire announces the termination of the strike among the weavers of Pauissieres. Three of the four large warehouses have yielded to the demands of the employis, and the fourth is expected soon to follow the example of the others. The Viceroy of Egypt is projecting a plan to surprise his guests. He proposes to make an excursion to the Island of Elephantine, where tho Nilometer monument of the ancient Egyptians is placed. This Nilometer was in existence some centuries before the Christian era, and it is still in a sufficient state of preservation to mark the epochs of the great overflowings of the river. The Frankfort Journal makes mention of an earth quake which took place on the last day of October. Ac counts from Darmstadt and Wiesbaden state that a simi• lar sensation was experienced in those towns. SHARE LIST. oItDINAKY SHAIiES AND STOCKS. ILallwa $. raid.

April and Oct ~ /. 00 111 12 THE QUEENS VISI7 70 THE ME The preparations, which have already been described in detail, from the plan and the rudimentary work of car penters and decorative artists, are making rapid progress on the Viaduct and Blalkfriars Bridge; and if the weather —now unsettled- should make good its proverbial suita bility to the public, appearance of the Queen, next Satur day will be a day to be marked in the City annals with the whitest of white stones. Yesterday the members of the Common Council were invited to inspect the whole of the works on and beneath the Holborn Viaduct ; and it was the unanimously expressed opinion that her Majesty should be shown some part at least of the wonderful sub ways, which afford even greater evidence of engineering skill than is perceptible in an outward view of Mr. Hay wood's magnificent work. The perfect arrangements of gas and water, ready to the hand without removal or dis organisation of any surface covering ; the accessible and yet secure position of telegraphic wires ; the ventilation of the underground passages; the complete drainage of the Viaduct into the sewers which are beneath the subways; the space of the cellarage from end to end—all these ad vantages of the new high-level road above the Holborn Valley constitute the most admirable character which can be assigned to any similar work in the world. Owing to her Majesty's absence from town approval of the programme submitted by the civic aurhorities had not been given. No doubt, however, seems to be felt of her Majesty's acceptance of it. The continuance of the preparations indicates a conclusion that the route to be followed on Saturday will be that which the committee has laid down, subject to the Royal sanction. In addi tion to the Volunteer force which we have already named as being selected to form the guard of honour, the 49th Middlesex (Post Office) Volunteers will also take part in that duty, and are expected to muster 700 strong, under Colonel Duplat Taylor. The opening of the Holborn Viaduct will invite back again to one direct channel, running east and west, and connecting the populous suburbs at either end of an overgrown town, that traffic which has been diverted into tortuous ways during the progress of the great work. We have now, therefore, the question of " ample room and verge enough" still more forcibly im pressed on our attention. Widened throughout its whole length, Holborn continues the broad thorough fare of Oxford-street, by means of the new Viaduct, far into the City. The first awkward block occurs in the very heart of the commercial turmoil, close to the Man sion House. Many letters complaining of that impediment to traffic, "the obstructive Poultry," have appeared in the journals; and the topic is rife among City men, whose business takes them to and fro in that central neighbour hood. The new street which now leads from the Mansion House to Blackfriars is the main south-western communica tion, just as the long line of thoroughfare now opened up by the completion of the Holborn Viaduct is the artery from east to west ; and at their constructive conver gence these two important channels should be made as open as possible. A deplorable narrowing of space provokingly occurs at the very point of juncture. The block of houses with miserably ruinous backs turned towards the new Mansion House-street must be removed before the full benefit, either of that wide avenue, or of the improved westerly approach, can be felt ; and no better opportunity could be wished than that which now presents itself. A plan proposed by Mr. John Belcher, a skilled and able architect, shows in what manner and at what cost the improvement could be made; and it seems likely, from the large area of ground coloured on the chart as belonging to the Metropolitan Board, that that body, rather than the civio corporation, must be looked to for the generally desired boon. Estimates of compensations for property which must be removed, and of the value, on the other hand, of property accruing from the change, accompany Mr. Belcher's plan, and they are worth consideration. Nine houses of the isolated block on the south side of the Poultry—the remainder is already in the possession of the Board of Works—could, according to this estimate, be pur chased for £412,000. The houses on the north side cf Bucklersbury are, with the exception of two, included in the Poultry ; and those two houses, with seven on the opposite side of Bucklersbury, would cost £210,00U. Two houses in Cheapside and three in' L'ancras•lane would have to come down, the estimated cost being together £BO,OOO. Here, then, is a total of .C 702,000 ; and the cal culation of what would be gained by ground rents at 25 years' purchase exceeds the outlay by £115,500. It need hardly be urged, that if the estimates show a pe cuniary loss instead of gain, on a work of such great pub lic utility, the undertaking would still bo desirable. Four years ago Mr. Haywood, in his report to the Commis sioners of Sewers, said :—" Of the desirability of widen ing the Poultry there can be no doubt, even although it may be relieved by the new street of some of its traffic ; for at the present time, if the whole of its car riage way was flagged over, it would give no superfluous convenience to the vast numbers of pedestrians who d a ily pass through it." At the date of his report, and we believe i nce it was written, Mr. Haywood inclined to the belief that the improvement would be best effected by widen ing the Poultry . on the north side. The construction of the new Mansion House-street materially invali dates any argument which could have been maintained in favour of that view. There can hardly be a difference of opinion, among those who survey the spot, as to the expe diency of pulling down the block on the south side of the Poultry and setting the houses back, with double fronts fscing to the new street us well as to the thoroughfare ou which their doors have opened for many generations. A class, composed of officers of the Royal Artil lery, arrived at Woolwich yesterday to go through a short course of instruction in the manufacturing departments of the Royal Arsenal, Ensigns Hickson and Grey, of the Ist Battalion 3d Buffs, stationed with the depot at Chatham, have received leave till the 30th of December, when they will embark to join the servica companies in Bengal.

Last evening a scullera' race was rowed from Putney to Barnes between Frederick M'Mahon of Putney, and John Coxon of Surbiton, the stake being £25 aside. Both are watermen, and have frequently figured before in boat racing. The race was accompanied by a well-filled steamer, and Mr. Wormald was sole umpire, George Drewitt piloting Coxon, and William Sadler M'Mahon, who won the toss. Coxon got away with the lead, but was collard directly, and they were level to the Star and Garter, where M'Mahon shot away to the Duke's Head. Here they were rowing a fine race, when Colon fouled a barge, who gave his opponent three-quarters of a length. Coxon rowed gallantly on and drew level half way up the wil lows, and after a continuation of a capital race to the Dung-wharf, a mile from the start, Coxon be gan to draw away again, and at the Soap Works was leading by two lengths and three at Ham mersmith. Here the further progress of the steamboat was barred by the extraordinary high tide, after an attempt to get through, in which the funnel was stove in, and the referee being sent on in a steam launch, brought back word that no change occurred after leaving the point we have indicated—Coxon winning by five lengths. The Thames and Tyne crews were spectators of the race, looking exceedingly fresh and well. Betting is strongly in favour of the north. THE INSURRECTION IN DA.LIIATIA. (REUTER'S TELEGRAM.)
