The directors of the New Zealand Trust and Loan Company (Limited) have resolved to declare at their meeting on the 28th inst. a dividend of 5 s- per share, being at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum. At a meeting of the creditors of the late Mr. J. Naylor, Southgate Mill, Preston, on Tuesday, the accounts showed the liabilities to be about £28,000, the bulk of which is owing to the assigneess of Messrs. Livesey and Thorpe. '1 he assets are esti mated at about £9OO, besides the mill buildings, Rc , now valued at £lO,OOO only, although their original cost was £30,000. The creditors agreed that the concern shou'd ba wound up under a deed of assigtiment. The report of the Union Bank of Manchester (Limited), to be presented at Manchester on the 28th in:st., states that, considering the depression of trade generally in Lancashire, the result of the busine ss r ate of B has been satisfactory. A dividend at the per cent. per annum and a bonus of 33. Per share are recommended.

MAILS DUE. P IRIS CORRESPONDENCE. THURSDA.T. We are told on all sides that the present Ministry is only "provisional," and that another change will be required immediately the reforms are settled by the Senate. But there is no doubt that the Emperor made an attempt to form a stable and definite Ministry out of Liberal elements. It is said that the idea was enter tained of getting up a Ministry to consist of two members of the Moderate Liberal party, two of the most advanced members of the Senate, and two of the Council of State. But this scheme Failed through what was thought to he the exorbitant demands of the Moderates. For one thing, Messrs. 011ivier and Co. wanted Ministe rial responsibility pure and simple, whereas the concessions made by the Emperor do not amount to quite so much. The fact is that the Moderates think their best policy is to wait. If only two or three of them had joined the CaLinet, they would have been in a minority, and would have laid themselves open to the reproach of taking office without being able to give effect to their views. By holding back a little, they think that the Emperor will find himself unable to do without them. They are the authors of the reforms, and to them belongs the task of completing the work. Some allowance ought to bo made for the great dills (sullies which the Emperor has to face. Not only has he td deal with the complaints of those who think his con cessions insufficient, but he has likewise to pacify those who imagine that he has granted too much. Of the latter mind is roost decidedly the Senate. This body, there can be no doubt, looks upon the programme with great dis favour. The Senators will be obliged to vote the reforms, lint it is quite on the cards that they may introduce a good deal of modification. Prince Napoleon seems to be anxious to let the world know that he does not approve of the Emperor's pro gramme. His secretary has written a letter correcting a statement that the Prince was a member of the Privy Council. This letter states that the Emperor's relative resigned his post as councillor in 1864, and for the last five years he has taken no part whatever in the State delibera tions. If the Prince liked the reforms would he take so much trouble to assert that he had personally nothing to do with them ? The unhappy Left does nit appear able to accomplish anything. It lacks the unity without which there can be no strength. More meetings have been held, but it seems that Gambetta and others are too Red, and Thicrs and others not Red enough. Thus no agreement seems pos sible. The Moderate Liberal and Imperialist papers are exulting over this discord, but I think it lamentable. It would be better that the Extreme Left should form a united party, for then the milder section would modify the extravagance of the irreconciliables. Isolated politi cians are always most violent and least useful, for they have no responsibility. The " Affaire Taillefer," or, in plain English, the trial of the swindling cashier, of whom you heard so much a little while ago, is coming off on the 28th. Meanwhile we have had another "affaire " of this kind settled and done with, that of a man named Gallet, a cashier in the service of the Compagnie Lyonnaise. This gentleman was a very able man, as are all of his race, and from 1855 to 1863 he managed to appropriate something like £lO,OOO. The sum would look miserably small in the eyes of a genius like Higgs, but then our friend Gallet's success was propor tionate to his modesty. He falsified the books so cleverly, and took such extraordinary precautions, that he was not found out until five years after lie had left the company's service to enjoy the fruits of his earnings and to spend a green old age in retirement. His retirement for the next five years will be more secluded and complete than he bar gained for, and in addition it will be his painful duty to restore the sum embezzled. The Rappel has been in court again, and to the utter amazement of the civilised world has been acquitted. Its editors and publisher were prosecuted on charge of pro mulgating false news, but though some inaccuracies were found out, the sum total of error was not thought suffi cient far a conviction. The Immobiliere Company is wound up, and disappeat. from the commercial world amid the most poignant sorrow—that it ever came into existence. This is the company whose directors have been ordered to pay the losses of the shareholders, because, like Overend, Gurney, and Co., a false prospectus was published. A man, who was years ago one of the notorieties of Europe, and who may live in history, as does he who burnt down the Temple of Diana, has just died at Brussels. His name is Cantillon. He was a sergeant in the Old Guard of Napoleon, and fought through the cam- paign of Waterloo, quitting the army after the capture of Paris. After the execution of Ney and Labddoyre, thirty or forty at tba non-commissioned officers of the Old Guard conceived the idea of _ asAl3sdiittathS °LetiLiLiPitlitt a pistol shot was fired at the Duke in the streets of Paris, but missed him. Cantillou was suspected, and tried ; but the proof was not clear, and he was acquitted. It was to this luau that Napoleon left a legacy of £4OO, which was IMPERIAL E.ARLIA MEN HOUSE OF COMMONS—Tms EVENING. The SPEAKER took the cLair at two o'clock. rHE IRISH CHURCH. Mr. GLADSTONE said he rose with a deep sense of the importance of the occasion to move that this house do agree to the amendments made iu this bill by the House of Lords without exception or reservation. The Government assented to the erasion of the words which were struck out by the Lords in committee, but an alteration of the 6Sth clause which made certain directions with re spect to the ultimate distribution of the surplus fund was agreed to. With respect to the date, the reason for the tenacity of the Government for the original date remaining was that it was the best period that could be fixed, and although its original date finally appeared in the bill, it did not appear there as a token of victory, but as the expression of the joint and harmonious opinion of the two Houses of Parliament. With respect to the neYe, amendment, that of the deduction for curates from the stipends of the incumbents, alte rations had been made front the the original pro position, but they were such as would entirely avoid any serious difference between the twu branches of the Legislature. With respect to the surplus clause, it would appear that after all the demands of the act had been complied with the remainder should be devoted to objects of unavoidable calamity—(Hear, hear)—according to the direction of Parliament. He had to say that the clause as it now stood met with the approval of the Government, because it would have been impossible to have carried tit , : bill out if they had passed it as it came down first amended from the House of Lords.

ALLEN'S WORLD'S HAIR RESTORER OR DRESSING never fails to quickly restore Grey or Faded Hair to its youthful colour and beauty, and with the first application a beautiful gloss and de lightful fragrance is given to the Hair. It stops the Hair from fal:ing off. It prevents baldness. It promotes luxuriant growth, it causes the Hair to grow thick and strong. It removes all dandruff. It contains neither oil nor dye. In large bottles— Price Six Shillings. Sold b 3 most Chem:sts and Perfumers. Depot, 266, High Holborn. Race Glasses, byVoigtLinder, are now no longer the ex clusive luxury of the rich. Since the great demand for photographic lenses has diminished, an opportunity has been afforded for applying mechanical power with the greatest success, whereby the cost of these beautiful and most perfect instruments is reduced in price in some instances to as much as 20 per cent. In fact they are now no dearer than those of the best French or English makers. At the depot Callaghan, 23e, New Bond-street, corner of Conduit-street, the patrons of the Derby may indulge their taste in the possession of a veritable Voigtlander at comparatively trilling cost.

The LORD OfIANDELLOIL took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. IRISH CHURCH BILL. Earl GRANVILLE said on Tuesday last he asked their lordships to adjourn the debate, in order to consult his colleagues as to the course that would be taken with re spect to the division that then took place. Her Majesty's Government were of opinion that the division taken was a subj !ct of a very grave ch.tractor, but they were nu willing to preventing their lordships from further con sidering the aweudmeuts made in the bill. In acquitting himself of that duty he should act in a spirit of peace and conciliation, and he felt sure that noble lords on the other side would carry on their discus sion in the same conciliatory spirit. He would, therefore, in renewing the discussion, move to restore the date in the bill as it originally stood, v:z., January, 1871, and that their lordships would nut insist on the amendment making it May, 1871. If this proposition was met with any great objection he should not persevere with his motion. Lord CAIRNS said ho must be allowed to state his view of matters as they now stood, and he might say that "it was satisfactory that the debate was to be continued, because it seemed to be the general impression that ma terials for the solution of the difficulty were so close at hand. Wi:h resp..ct to the date of the bill, as it was wished by the Government to nrtice the date January instead of Ilay, 1871, he should not strongly oppose such a motioa. Wi:h respect to the amendment of his noble flieul with regard to the curates, he thought the compromise that had Lieu made ought .to be aceeptel With respect to the amendment as to commutation moved by the noble lord below the gangway (Garr:ars-on) he thought that one of the most important alterations, and he as he be:ieved the Government had no indisposition to assent to the amendmf:uts to a certain extent, it would not be wise to persist in the whole of_ Le original amendments. With respect to resolutions, her Majesty's Government had intimated they could accept no alteration from that ori- &ally set out In the bill, but he thought that that was a minor point, and the amendment need not be insisted on. In the 6Fth clause the Government had consented to the introduction of provision that the surplus funds of the Irish Church should be applied to the relief of unavoid able calamities, and it was to be so appropriated as Parliament directed. He felt that that was in substance the des:re of those on hil side of tie house, he thought it would be well to accept that proposition. Much as he objected to the bill, and, not to use strong language, much as he detested every portion of the measure—(hear, hear) —he thought it would be far pr. ferable to accept that proposal, rather than there should continue a determined struggle for months on minor details. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY regretted that the Ulster glebes had been given up, but, on the whole, ho thought that a bad bargain had not made in obtaining £BOO,OOO for private endowments. He felt that the wisest policy to adopt at the present time was to maintain the Established Church in a limited degree, and not to entirely throw down everything but the volun tary principle. _ _ There was one division—viz., on the question of assent ing to the Commons' amendment to the Lords' amend ment in clause 27, with respect to ecclesiastical resi dences ; but the Commons' amendment was agreed to by 47 to 17. In clause 68 Lord Grey objected to the inser tion of the words proposed by Lord Granville, on the ground that it was absurd to attempt to bind future Par liaments; but he did not press his ol•jection. A committee was then appointed to draw up reasons in respect of those of the Commons' amendments from which the house had disagreed, and the bill was ordered to be reported. Other bills were advanced a stage, and their lordships a:ijourned at five minutes to 10 o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—LAST EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. THE 12Th JULY. Mr. C. FORTESCUE said the additional police had been sent to Caledon by direction of the local.magistracy, as disturbances wore attempted by the procession of Orange men. No disturbance took place,although a demonstration was made, and a procession, accompanied by 40 drums, passed through the town. PAROCHIAL SCHOOLS RILL. The LORD ADVOCATE, in reply to Sir J. Elphin stone, said it was intended to proceed with the bill on Tuesday morning next. GROWTH OF OPIUM. Mr. D. GRANT said it had been determined to increas3 the growth of opium in the Ben_g_ll Presitienev but gins Chinese proclatuafinClOrmaturg the en tivation of the poppy in l•1M13. SOUTII SEA ISLANDERS. Mr. OTWAY, in reply to Mr. TAYLOR, said it was in tended to send increased force to the naval squad►on to prevent a system of slave trade arising in the Polynesian Archipelago. EGYPTIAN COMPANIES. Mr. OT'VA Y, in reply to Mr. White, said information Lad been received that the Viceroy of Egypt had given directions that the English shareholders i❑ the Societe Agricole et Industrelle d'Ejypt should be placed iu the same position as the French, and if such was nut done re presentation would be made accordingly. UNIVERSITY TESTS BILL Sir J. COLERIDGE, iu reply to Mr. Saitaris, said he could not state what would ba the ulterior course of the Government ou the sullect next year. lie could not say what would be the result of resisting popular demands after what had 'taken play.° elsewhere, whero certain ameuduients had been refused consideration. (Loud cheers.) An HON. MEMBER wished to know whether it was competent for an hon. member in that house to refer to iatwhich had taken place in another place ? The SPEAKER said it was not in order to refer to lebates, bet that did not apply to the acts done in the :ouse of Lords Mr. DISRAELI thought it was most objectionable to refer to matters in the manner the hon. gentleman had done. PUBLIC OFFICES CONSTRUCTION BILL. Mr. LAYARD announced that it was the intention of the Government to withdraw this hal, and therefore it would not N 3 necessary to lay the ground plans on the table of the hens., for the present. COASTGUAHD MEN. Mr. CHILDERS said it was not true that several men had ben dtschargel because they had Lot enough back teeth to masticate ship's biscuit. It was, however, a rule that the possession of sufficient teeth to masticate food was ono of the requisites in those seeking employment in the reserve, and he was not prepared to recommend that the order should be repealed. THE FIELD DAY AT ALDERSHOTT. Mr. CARDWELL said it was true that 125 men fell out of the ranks, amounting to 8,000 men, to obtain water, but it was not true to say the place was literally strewn with disabled soldiers. The heat of the weather, and not the lightness of the clothing, was the cause. Five men had been in hospital, but all had now returned to duty. EDUCATION. On tho motion for going into committee of supply, the subject of education was brought forward and discussed. The house they went into Committee of Supply on the remainder of the Civil Service estimates, and their dis cussion occupied the greater portion of the subsequent sitting. A message was brought up from the House of Lords in reference to the amendments on the Irish Church Bill. The order, of the day were disposed of, chiefly by post ment, and the House adjourned.

Bewdley, December 2, 1868.—" Dear Sir, Some sixteen or eighteen months since I wrote to you for one of your Galvanic Chain Bands for Indigestion, from which I suffered more particularly in the morning, for when I rose my tongue was covered with a white mucus of a very disagreeable taste, and was always thirsty, with little appetite for breakfast. if 1 but took a walk first thing iu the morning, no matter what the distance, I invariably returned fatigued and tired After wearing your invaluable Chain Band, according to directions, I am happy to state all those symptoms are removed. and I now feel as wall as ever I did. 1 have cured several parties of toothache most instantaneously.
