There were no gold operations at the Bank Yesterday. The Tanjore, from Alexandria, has brought £10,844. It is stated that the Chancellor of the Exchequer has declined to promote the request of the Man chester Chamber of Commerce for another Com mission or Committee on the Bank Act. Perhaps, if the Chamber could have mentioned any point of inquiry to which a thorough answer is not already to be found in the Blue Books of the previous C ommittees, the application would have met with success. The report of the directors o f th e L on d on and South• Western Bank has been issued. A dividend is recommended at the rate of ss. per share. A dividend of 2s. 6d. per share, being at the rate of6 # per cent, per annum, will be declared at the aPProacbing meeting of the London General Om nibus Company (Limited).

NEW ROMAN CATHOLIC CIIURCII.—On Thurs day last the foundation -stone of a new Roman Catholic church, in Eden-grove, Holloway, dedicated to the Sacred Heart, was laid by Archbishop Manning, assisted by a number of the clergy of his diocese. Tho ceremonial was of an elaborate character. At is conclusion a number of contributions to the building fund were announced. Amongst the donors were the Duchess of Norfolk, Miss Tasker, Sir Charles Clifford, Lord Ai undell of Wardell; Sidney Lescher, Esq., Charles Gould, Esq., John Holland, Esq., &c. The archbishop then addressed those present, urging them to contribute to the erection of the church. Ile alluded to the change of public opinion with regard to the Catholic religion, and argued that the current of feel ing showed a tendency to Catholic ideas and Catholic practices, and a gradual uprising in favour of unity o f faith, which would ultimately bring this country under the sway of the Catholic Church. The new church promises to be a very handsome structure. It is being built, accord ing to the designs of Mr. Pownall, in the early English style, and will be of red brick, with a tower. The size is 96 feet by 20 feet. It is situated in a very prominent posi- , tion in the most thickly populated part of Holloway. Tho cost of the church, with clergy house and schools attached, will amount to £7,000. HONESTY.—Just previous to the race for the Deauville Cup, Mr Elyott Bower made an offer of 2,000 guineas for this horse, whi h Mr Masterman, jun., was willing to take, provided the Cup should be his in the event of the horse winning. Mr Bower would not, however, assent to this arrangement, and the negociation accordingly fell through. kingsbury Summer Meeting, 1870, will take place on the Thursday and Friday following Huntingdon. HENDON AUTUMN MEETING.— The principal races for this :meeting, on September 23 and 24, close ou August 26.

Professor Morris, of University College, is the President of the Association, and under his guidance there is no fearof practical work being neglected.—At a meeting of the members of the Newspaper Press Fund on Satur day, Lord Houghton in the chair, the question of the qualification for membership, as to which there has been for some time a discussion, was settled. There has long been a desire on the part of some members to widen the qualification, and admit those engaged in the trading de partments of newspapers. The rule as now modified dis tinctly requires that the members shall be literary con tributors receiving remuneration, but within that qualifi cation the title for adMission includes all classes of writers, reporters, proprietors, and managers. A suggestion was made for the representation of the provincial press on the committee.— The Silk Supply Association has determined to start a Sil: Supply Journal, on the model of the Cotton Sum ,ly &porter cf the Manchester Cotton Supply A ssociation. Some talk has taken place among the Indian tea companies of publishing a journal on tea culture, to follow up the pro ceedings of the tea conferences of the Indian Committee of the Society of Arts. The society gives a medal for a book on the promotion of tea cultivation, and the Indian Government are likely to produce a manual on the same subject.—We regret to announce the death, at Lisbon, on the Bth ultimo, of a veteran, both in literature and science, Dr. John Mai tin. So far back as 1817, he was the editor of " Mariner's Tonga Islands," a work which has been always held in high estimation, and in our own pages we have had occasion to record his labours durinc.r the last twenty years in the observation of atmospherical phew). mena, especially with reference to pressure, temperature, and moisture. Dr. Martin laid down meteorological charts representing the varyingaspects of months, seasons, and years from daily observation. lie also made careful observation with reference to ozon', as well as on the characteristics and circumstances affecting cholera and yellowle ver. These labours are the more commendable as the work of an old man, executed in different colours with scrupulous neatness, and mostly at night after the fatigue of practice. Dr. Martin died at the adianced age of 80. The Orchestra has also some noticeable items :—Costes operetta, " Les Horreurs de la, Guerre," has been pro duced at the Theater an der Wien, Vienna, with complete success.—The manner of Mr. Pechter as an actor furnishes, we understand, the subject of an article which Mr. Dickens has written for the Atlantic Monthly, and which will appear in its next number.—An organisation for the encouragement and protection of authors has been formed in New York.

After the usual acclama tions bad been lavished upon her, the Swedish Diva retired from the platform and attempted to make her way from the artist's room to her carriage. But this was no easy matter ; the way was blocked by an admiring throng anxious to get one look at close quarters, and perhaps a smile from the Queen of Song. The police had ultimately to make a way for Mdlle. Nilsson, and " keep the ground" in military fashion. Through this helmeted avenue the lady walked to her carriage, while hats were raised, handkerchiefs waved—in short, an ovation offered analo gous to the homage which we are wont to pay to royalty. Mdlle. Nilsson could hardly have received a wanner tribute if she had been a Princess of the Blood. The Frcenzan's Journal of yesterday Frya it is nur rcritiv reported that Mr. Cthiectrwn ii.c.nde to v:O4 during the autumn. '1 ho Dublin parer proniL es Lim u hearty welcome. BM FAL MINC. — Another of those very sad baby farming " cases was before the derufy colonel- for Central Middlesex on Friday. A n other who had several illegitimate children sent them away to be fed by hand, and nursed other children on her milk. The children died. It was on the dead body - of the last of them that the inquest was held. The coroner said the conduct of the mother made Ler guilty of what was next dour to man slaughter. The jury returned the verdict—" Death from natural cause's, accelerated by the chTrivation of linast milk through the mother going out as avet nurse to another child." THE STORY OP A DISCOVERY.—The electric telegraph plays an important part in the engagement of artists, but until now we do not remember of an artist having been actually olitained Ly wire. Within the last few days, however, electi icity has kindly yiele:ed one of her votaries to art. Herr vcn Il ulsen, the Intendent of Theatres at Berlin, was takirg a walk at Karlsbad, when passing a telegraph office he heard the sound of an extraordinarily sweet tenor voice. Entering the office he found a clerk sing ing over his work. M. von Il ulsen put some leading questions touching the young man's knowledge of music, and requested him to sing a few roulades, which were given ad satisfaciendunt. 7he result was, the Intendent engaged the clerk then and there, and the happy official had the gratification of telegraphing on the spot to Prague, before sending in his resignation, " Have just been found out by Hulsen—taken off to Berlin—two thousand thalers a year provisionally." The clerk's name is Pavilicele, but they will probably find him one more euphonous. AN IMPUD ENT SWINDLER.— The Sam acker family in Paris wid, no doubt, be remembered, with its lawsuits and criminal trials the father, a cabman, suing the daughter, a woman of the dctni•ntonde, who had become the Marquise d'Orvault, fur alimony, and the son condemned to the Bagne, from which he subsequently escaped, for shooting at his sister to extort money from her. The parents Lave now just appeared again in publi.) to prosecute a female swindler, calling herself the Countess Jordan Poninska, nee Countess d'esten- Sacken. This woman, shortly after the trial of the son, called on the Sehumackers, and pretending to have great influence with the Empress and personages of rank, offered to solicit a pardon for the young man. The cabman and his wife readily became the dupes of this great lady, who, although, according to her representations, possessed entire villages in Poland, condescended to borrow sums of money varying from £4 to meet the costs on a draft for £3,200, which she was expecting, down to a shilling to pay for mending a pair of shoes. The soi-disant countess, of course, could not call en great people to intercede for the son without wearing jewellery, and as she had none herself she borrowed from the Schumackers a gold chain with a diamond worth £l6, a pearl ring, and a coral brace let, but which, as might be expected, she never returned. She likewise took Madame Schumacker into her service as cook, and allowed the latter t..) advance money for market ing. But the famous draft for £3,200 not arriving, the cabman and his wife lost patience and denounced their protectress to the police, who discovered that she had been already condemned for swindling in Baden, Saxony, and England. The spurious countess was sentenced to three years' imprisonment. "BLUE Gowv."—Rumour' has it that Blue Gown, winner of the Derby in IE6B, is to be sold for £6,000 according to some accounts, and £5,000 according to others, Say £5,000, and calculate what he will have been worth, exclusive of bets, keep, and travelling expenses, to his owner. At two years of age he won (having been diaqualfied for the Champagne Stakes, for which he came in first at Doncaster) the Sunning Hill Stakes of £315 at Ascot Spring Meeting, the Fern Ilill Stakes of £240 at Ascot Summer Meeting, and the Clearwell Stakes of £9lO at Newmarket Second October Meeting. At tl:ree years of age he W.ll the spring Stakes of £155 at New market Spring Meeting, a sweepstakes of £l;',o at the same meeting, the Derby Stakes at Epsom of 213,850, the Gold Cup at Ascot of £B4O, tha Fitzwilliam Stakes at Doncaster of £125, walked over for the Royal Stakes of £650 at Newmarket Second October Meeting, won (carry. ing Ost.) the second place for the Cambridgeshire, walked over for the All-aged Stakes of £250 at Newmarket Houghton Meeting, and won the Free Handicap of .21,100 at the same meeting. At four years Of ago he Las hitherto won the Trial Stakes of £135 at Epsom Spring Meeting, walked over for the Craven Stakes of On at Newmarket Craven Meetiiig, won the Tenth Newmarket Biennial Stakes of £OO2 at the same meeting, won the Queen's Plate of 105 at Win- • • chester, and won the Craven Stakes of i!'7o at Goodwood. He does not, perhaps, come up to the greatest winners of the Derby, but he,has won by his own legs.. .132,5 V, and the second place (carrying 9st.) for the Cambridgeshire Add to his pecuniary winnings £5,000, and the result figiraratiKetnaigmiliiPttseut....- SHARE LIST.

Luz's CORRESPONDENCE. FRIDAY. The committee appointed on the Senatus-Consultum includes five former Ministers, M.M. Delangle, De Maupas, Boudet, Casablanca, and Behic ; one ambassador, M. de la Guerroniere ; ono former President of the Court of Cassation, 11. Devienne; and two former Councillors of State, M.M. Suin and Qucutin-Bauchard. It was complained that during the discussion on the nomination of the committee, M. Rouher would allow no one, not even Lis colleagues of the Government, to defend the Ministerial work against the attacks made upon it. It said that Prince Napoleon is being strongly urged by his friends to seize the opportunity afforded by the Senatus , Consultum, and to make a very Liberal speech which is to be regarded as the Napoleonic manifesto of the future. Al. AI. de Persigny and Do Maupas, who bitterly resent AI. Roulier's influence with the Emperor, are likely to act in a similar manner. More than twenty amendments are now announced to the Senatus-Consultum. Among them is one signed by M.M. Maupas, De la Guerroniere, and others, with the view of preventing the collisions between the Corps Ltgislatif and the Senate, which must inevitably occur if the two Cl:ambers differ, having equal rights. Considering the numberof amendments announced, the promised speeches, and those which will certainly be delivered, it is evident that there is little chance of the vote being taken before the 23rd. Some malicious persons suggest that M. Roither himself has a hand in these amendments, wishing by meaus of them to embarrass the progress of the Senatus-Consulturn. It is also said that if the new Constitution does not work well, and an irreconcilable antagonism arises between the Corps Ltis latif and the Senate, the Emperor will not hesitate to restore the Constitution of 1552, relying on the support of a plebiscitum—a somewhat hazarl,us experiment. The Liberals of France have certainly good reason to complain under the existing rigiine. Your readers will remember the exciting incident which I mentioned a few days since, the dissolution of a public meeting by the withdrawal of the Commissary of Police. This gentle. nian's presence is, in Path, in.iispensable to a public meet- ing, according to law, and consequently if he takes offence and walks off those present have no choice but to follow him if they wish to avoid detention par pre vention. The assembly I have alluded to consist. ing chiefly of literary men, political economists, and men of science, hold their meetings at the Salle MoliZze on Wednesdays. Last Wednesday they resumed their dis cussions, and again came to grief, owing t; the sudden flight of M. le Commissaire, who declared the discussion on the workmen's strikes to be too exciting, and pro munced the dispersion of the meeting. Some angry voices were raised, declaring that it was a prearranged inter ference, and, judging from the nature of the subject discussed, it certainly bore that appearance. A protest was made by the members, which probably relieved their feelings, but is not likely to produce much effect upon the authorities. La Liberte. after reporting this incident, asks whether, after such displays, it is possible to accept Mi ilouher's antithesis of the transformation of the Empire of Authority into the Empire of Liberalism? The 15th of August will be celebrated with great pomp this year, in consequence of its being the hundredth anni versary of the birth of the first Napoleon. The Minister of Justice and Public Worship has addressed a circular to the archbishops and bishops, reminding them of the glorious recollections of the first Emperor, and the grati tude all must feel to the heir of his name. He invokes the aid of the ecclesiastical authorities in those changes in the religious ceremonies which may be necessary on the occasion of the F6te. The Algerian Constitution is ready, and will be sub mitted to the Senate immediately after the vote on the Senatus•Consultum. A temporary change is talked of in the War Office. Marshal Niel's health imperatively requires absolute rest, but while he retans his post he cannot resist the wish to Duey himself with the affairs of his department. It is said that Admiral Rigault de Gennuilly will temporarily re place him, but there is no idea of his retiring from office altogether. The strike at Carmaux may be considered at an end, and order is quite restored there. Some of the workmen have emigrated, but the others have returned to their employment. Some strange rumours have been circulated during the last few days in the Quartier St. Gervais. A tradesman of that neighbourhood, who was very much respected, has dis. appeared in a very mysterious manner. He was sitting at the door of his shop when a coach drove up, and three men jumped out, seized M. X-, and dragged him into the conveyance, which quickly drove off. Many different stmie3 are told of this strange affair, but no clue has been obtained to the mystery as yet. Paper collars and cuffs have long been in use, and of late other articles of dress have been made of this material, but a German has just gone a step further in this direc tion, and displayed paper table-napkins at th:: exhibition pf Wittenberg. The police of Milan have just distinguished themselves by making an important capture of forgers. Ali individual was arrested a few days back at Turin for attempting to pass a bad £2O note, Ind on being questioned con fessed that this spurious paper was fabricated by an engineer of Milan, named Pagani. The latter was conse quently arrested as he was leaving his residence, and on the ' , dice entering the house they surprised his s'Eter, signing the name of the director of the National Bank on two other forged notes. IMPERIAL ..eAELIAmENT _ —.— HOUSE OF LORDS.—(This DAY.) The Loiw CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at three o'clock. METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS (LOANS) BILL.

Various ether bills were forwarded a stage, and their lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMNIONS.—Tnis DAY. The SPEAKER took the chair at the usual hour. PAROCHIAL SCHOOLS (SCOTLAND) BILL. This bill, as amended, was considered and agreed to and ordered to be read a third tim.t on Monday. ENDOWED SCHOOLS BILL. The further consideration of this bil - 1;:as than pro ceeded with, but eventually Mr. FOSTER decided to withdraw any further consideration of the measure. The measure would be proceeded with next session, and during the recess he hoped the provisions of the bill would be well considered. The main object of the bill was to pro vide an indbpendent council—ind,•pendent of the Govern ment of the day, which should provide for the examina tion of endowed schools, and of registering and supplying with certificates of competency to teachers, and that the bill would also offer to private schools the same advantages as endowed schools, and also for enab ling masters of privat3 schools to obtain a certificate as to their competency. 'The effect of the bill would be to elevate the position of the teacher, and give to the public that fur which they paid—a good education for their children. The order of the day for the committal of the bill was then read and discharged. The house then adjourned. POLICE lATELLIGENCE.—nis Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBING A PROFESSOR OF MUSIC.—Fred. Markham, a young man, described as a clerk, was charged before Mr. Knox with stealing a quantity of wearing apparel, the property of Mr. Andrew Gibson Pollock, professor of music, residing at No. 51, Great Portland-street. Mr. Pollock said that o❑ tho evening of Saturday week he went out to attend to his professional duties, and re turned about 12 o'clock. The next morning when he wont to dress he missed a large quantity of wearing apparel, boots, &c., and then found that the prisoner, who was his (Hr. Pollock's) landlady's son, had boon to the house the previous evening during his mother's absence and taken the things. Ile gave information to the police, and on the pri soner being taken into custody he said ho had done wrong, and asked to bo forgiven. Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner. WESTMINSTER.
