The discount establishments have notified that their rate of allowance for money at call is raised from 3 to 31 pe r c e n t. ; that for deposits at seven days notice is raised from 31 to 31 ; and for de posits at a fortnight's notice from 31 to 4 per cent. T he joint-stock and other banks allow 34 per cent. for deposits. Increased significance is imparted to the Bank movement from the fact of its having become necessary, notwithstanding the large amounts that must have been drawn hither during the past five Weeks, from the considerable difference between our terms and those current in Paris and generally e n the Continent. The Frankfort advices continue to describe con fidence on the Bourse, but admit that the move tle.ent for a r i se appears t o b e d ec id e dly a t a n en d. The reaction at Vienna, it is said, would have made greater progress if Frankfort had not relieved the °perators there of large amounts of Credit shares and Lombard shares, which were readily taken When offered at reduced prices. At a meeting of the proprietors of the London an d South African Bank a dividend of ss. per share Was declared. A general meeting of the London and Australian Agency Corporation (Limited) will be held on the 25th inst., when a dividend will be declared. At the meeting of the Vauxhall-bridge Company, a dividend of 17s. per share was declared. A petition for the winding up of the Clerks' s upply Association (Limited) is to be heard before the V ice -Chancellor Malins on the 28th inst. _ The F ran kf ort Bourse i s threatene d w i t h th e loss of much of its importance by the taxes pro posed to be levied. Should they be sanctioned, t he large contracts for foreign loans hitherto made at that city will henceforth be made at Vi enna or Munich, out of the reach of Prussian 6tar nPs• It is proposed to levy a tax of 1 per cent. on all bonds circulating in the North Ger man Conf e d erat i on. T h i s i s an i m it at i on o f th e x reach law, but it is remarked that Paris has no co mpetitor ; w hil e a t F ran kf ort t h ey cannot a ff or d to be 1 per cent, dearer than at the rival centres of Munich, Vienna, or Amsterdam. The law, it is affirmed, could only be enforced by a whole host of spies, and would produce very litt:e without such assistance. The whole plan is denounced as extravagant and mischievous, and as a new proof of the extent to which the profits of trade seem d estined to be devoured by imposts to maintain Military armaments. " The only remedy will be when i t b egins to tell on the price of Prussian fonds, which can le trdly maintain their high quotation when it appears that Government are at their wits' end to raise money by new and absurd taxes."

Thornae Lawrence, a young man, was charged as follows : —Police• constable Walter Vane, '29 0, said that morning, while on duty in Cranbourne-street. he saw two men, who were quarrel linq. Ho persuaded them to go away, and . one did so but as the other refused, and would not leave, he was about to take Lim into custody, when the prisoner said that he was if he should, and caught hold of him and he had to throw the prisoner and hold him down, and while he was doing so some of the prisoner s companions seized him by the hair and pulled it ; another bit his finger and then pulled him about. Assistance came and he took him to the station—the drunken man he was going to take to the station getting away. In answer to Mr. Newton, the constable said that he believed the drunken man was a friend of the prisoner's. A woman, who keeps a stall at the corner of Oran bourne-street, said she saw some of the prisoners com panions treating the constable shamefully, scratching his face and pulling his hair. She never knew the prisoner or his companions to do any work, and they have been in the habit of standing at the corner of the street all day and night, and robbed when they had a chance. She had assisted the police, and because she had done so she was called by the prisoner and his companions a "police spy." The prisoner put some questions to the witness, and in reply to one said she saw him strike the constable. In answer to the charge, the prisoner said all he wanted to do was to get the drunken man home, and not to have him locked up. Mr. Newt(); said the constable was only doing his duty when the prisoner interfered with him. It way a serious offence, and of all per6ons the police were to be protected and not knocked about by men like the prisons. The pri soner would have to pay 20s. or 14 days. Tli XUES. A WARNING TO SUICIDES.—Louisa Cowell, IL young woman, and Jaim Davidson, an elderly woman, wero brought before Mr. Benson charged wits attempting to commit suicide. Cowell swallowed a quantity of laudanum while she was intoxicated, and the poison was with groat difficulty "pumped out" of her stomach. She was saved with diffi - culty. Davidson threw herself into the water at that modern Tarperian Rock, New Gravel-lane bridge, Shad well, and immediate assistance being very fortunately at hand she was got out alive. It was stated that great numbers had committed suicide at the same spot, and also at the Old Gravel-lane-bridge. Both aro easy of access, and are a• continuation of two important thoroughfares. The prisoners expressed their deep regret at what they had done, and Cowell said she was in liquor when she bought the stuff. Mr. Denson said if any medical man, chemist, or drug gist sold to the prisoners laudanum while either were in toxicated ho ought to be prosecuted. Ho, however, dis charged tho prisoners with a caution. WESTMINSTER. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE THROUGH DISTRESS. —George Hall, a tall, half-famished-looking man, was charged with at tempting to commit suicide by taking poison. Patrick Mullay, a police-constable, saki that late last night he was on duty near Hyde-park-corner when the defendant called to him, and said he had taken laudanum. Witness took him to St. George's Hospital, where the usual course was pursued in such cases. Mr. Arnold —What did the defendant say about the laudanum ? Constable—l questioned him, and he told me that he had bought the laudanum and taken it to destroy himself. Ile then gave me the bottle I produce which contained the laudanum. Mr. Arnold—What have you to say to this ? Defendant—]t is true that I took the laudanum. I was driven to do it by distress. I have long been out of em ployment, can't get anything to do. I was driven to it by want. Remanded for a week. BANK OF FRANCE. :PARIS, May 6.

Last night the annual festival of this society took -place - the- George Hotel, Alclarmanbury. The president, • J. - Gi lard, Esq., • occupied the chair, supported by Mr. Haynes, the vice-president, and the leading members of the bociety. The tables were beautifully decorated with ,flowers. A hand some dinner, which embraced all the delicacies of the season, having been discussed, the President gave the usu d loyal toasts, which were very loyally responded.to. In proposing the toast of the evening, " Success to the Excelsior So2ciety," he said it was highly gratifying to find that Suc cess aril prosperity still attended their society; :h. it members had increased.aud so had their reserve fund. Tbe great object the society had in Was the extend.ng and cultivating a taste for pure aud beautiful melody, and it was satisin,oto,:y to find their exertions had been highly appreciated. He felt extremely pleated at the results that had attended the society ft•oal year to year, as it f roved the simple b.uuties of Ca; City Ex..1.:1,i)e far out.- rival° those offere Iby other pl‘x ,s where vu ,:arity, and he was afraid he might s iy &nnethiag worse ,vere the chief actrac:ious. Their success, he wz-.s sure, would be the means of inducing the f,rmation of new societies similar to their own, and he was sure they would all feel pleased to see the obj Jet for which th.s members of the Excelsior had banded them selves together to extend itself, as it would prove most conclusively that good taste was in the ascen dant. (Cheers.) They had a very excellent exe cutive committee and an indomitable secretary — (cheers) --and with these strong supports there was every prospect of the Excelsior becoming that which he most strongly desired—namely, a great society. The toast was enthusiastically responded to. "The executive committee and the hon. secretary" was the next toast, and Mr. Hatch returned thanks. He said he could not say how gratifibd he felt at the suc cess that had attended their society; it was one of his pet objects, and he could only say whilst he possessed the confidence and good wishes of the members he should think his toil for the Excelsior a pleasure. (Cheers.) The "Health of the Chairman" was proposed in very neat terms by Mr. Haynes, and, in aekuowledging the compliment, the Chair man said he thanked them all very much for their kindness, and he should look forward to their re assembling in September next with the greatest in terest and delight. During the evening Mr. 11. Gillard, Mr. Frankland, and several other members sang some of their best songs, and Mr Hidden ren dered the evening still more pleasurable by his ex cellent pianoforte playing.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. The Marquis of Townshend occupied the early part of the evening by calling attention to the subject of indus trial schools, which prevented the Marquis of Salisbury from putting his question relative to the late speech of the President of the Board of Trade. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—This DAY. The SPEAKER took the chair at 2 o'clock. NEW MEMBER. Mr. BIRLEY took the oath and his seat for Manchester. OPENING OF MUSEUMS ON SUNDAYS. Mr. GREGORY gave notice that on the 4th of June, on going into Commit'ee of Supply, he should move that the public museums in England be opened on Sundays. THE INCOME TAX. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he had received no memorial from the Scottish banks and insur ance companies requesting that the income tax might run from 15th May to 15th May. When that memorial was received of course it would be carefully considered. THE DERRY RIOTS. Mr. C. FOILTESCUE said that through an error only a limited portion of tho borough of Deity hal been p!aeec l under the operation of the Peace Preservation Act, but ho had taken the earliest opportunity of remedying - the mis take by the issue of an amendA proclamation. THE IRISH CHURCH The house then went into corm:gate° on this Fill, and commenced the discussion on the 53tkulause. Mr. CHARLEY moved an nmendamit for the purpose of enabling Irish prelates after the disestablishment of the Church to retain their seats in the House of Lords, and that all prelates appointed before the time fixed for the bill coming into operation be entitled to the same privilege. Mr. GLADSTONE said it had already appeared to the house when discussing the 13th clause that the sensation of certain priviledges would result as a necessary conse quence of the passing of the bill to the Spiritual peers of the lrioh Church thou in oniotonco. Se cli4 int Mt*, 1!..w.." they were called upon to reopen the matter with respect to those who might be appointed. The amendment was negatived. Some further amendments to the clause having been moved, and after a short debate withdrawn, the clause was agreed to, and ordered to stand part of the bill. On clause 59 being prbposed, Sir F. lIEYGATE moved an amendment, the effect of wbich was to include lunatic, asylums and asylums fDr poor persons of weak intellect as institutions that might parti cipate in the surplus funds of the Church after all the pro visions of the Act had been complied with in exoneration of the grand jury cess. Mr. GLADSTONE thought there was no necessity for the amendment, as the bill provided for:hospitals, which he believed included incurables as well as ettrables, The amendment was withdrawn,. Tho committee then proceeded to the eonsi,leration of the last or " saving" c7ausas of the bill, which e s c . ,:up'•ed the honso up to s ,v, , n o'clock, at which hour the g was suspend. d uutd nice HOUSE OF CO \INIONS.-1,‘ , ,r EVENING. T;lm MISR CULTiZeiI. Mr. G LADS"' ONE, in reply to Mr. M'Evoy, sail that nll prela4e:i that rn . gitt. I+3 appoiLt4d before the Ist of January, 1871, :noel I of cotTrse hold their titles fur life ; let - resp r.t to I Lose who might be appointed after t;le dise,lobl . s%ment bill, he believed that the law was nut Idto t ;ether clear as to the tight th.y would have to- call th...atielves bishops and deans of ruy particular church, wh'ch was un at all desirable shemld I I exist. THE INCONSTANT, Mr. CHILDERS, in reply to Sir J. Hay, said the acci dent to the - Inconstant was occasioned by a defective east ing, and there was no reason to deplore anything except the loss of a certain quantity of brass. THE DERRY RIOTS. Mr. O. FORTESOUE said there was no documents to lay on the table with respect to the proclamation of Derry. The Lord Lieutenantucted as he had a right to do on the representations of hth magistracy. THE BIFLE RANGE AT CHELMSFORD. Mr. CARDWELL said the rifle range had been re ported as unsafe,' and steps had at once been taken to remedy the case, and it would not be used until it had been reported safe., •THE PERMISSIVE PROHIBITORY BILL. A great number of petitions from different places in the metropolis and all parts of the country were presented in favour of the Permissive Bill. PRINT WORKS. Mr. BRUCE said he could not give a promise relative to the introluction of a bill relating to the hours of labour of women and children until he had received the report of those inquiring into tie subject. EXAMINATION OF WITNESSES. Sir T. ES3IONDE gave notice that to-morrow he should ask for leave to introduce a bill to enable the House of Commons to examine witnesses on oath. THE SEWAGE AT BARKING. Mr. BRUCE, in reply to Mr. Eastwick, said his atten tion had been 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 had received should receive his best consideration, and ho would do all in his power to remedy the nuisance. THE IRISH CHURCH BILL. The committee on this bill was proceeded with, the de bate being renewed on the amendment of Sic G. Jenkin son, to strike out the words, in the 39th clause, giving com pensation to the College of Maynooth. Col. BARTELOT T said ho could not find words strong enough to convey Lii opposition to the clause as it ori ginally stood. He said he cared little what the right hon. gentleman (Mr. Gladstone) might have meant, the country most implicitly believed that none of the funds of the Established Church was to go to the College of Maynooth. It was their belief, from what had been said by the right hon, gentleman that the grant to Maynooth was to cease altogether. If he stood alone ho would do all he could to fulfil that expectation. Mr. GLADSTONE 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 _respect to the College of Maynooth, • it was treated on equal terms with the Presbyterians. He was surprised that all other means having failed there was to be a raking up of religious pre julices against the bill. He could not but say that it only showed how every nerve was to be exerted to destroy a bill, the object of which was to disendow a Church which had never been able to stand on its own feet. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) Sir J. ELPHINSTONE said he firmly believed that the feeling did exist that no grant was to be given to the College of Maynooth. Ile 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. Be thought that some at lea,t of the Scottish re- proseutatire. were not acting inconsistently in support ing a Government that proposed to endow a college. Ile thought the hon. inemtwr for Edinburgh, at all events, had on a former occasion given his vote against the grant to Maynooth. Mr. M'LA IIEN ilefended the vote he had given, and said that had th) proposal been to give a large sum of in-n”y to Maynouth out of the Consolidated Fund there wuu:d have been opposition front all corners of the land, but the prop )sal to give it out of the funds of the dis._•stab liaised Church of Ireland was quite a different matter. • The LORD-ADVOCATE also defended his vote on the same occasion. Sir J. ELP.INS TONE 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 wvlil go as a fiery cross through the country. _ _ On a division the amendment of Sir George Jenkinson was lost. Mr• S. AYTOUN then moved his amendment on the clause, which would make the compensation to be paid to Maynooth in the shape of a life annuity instead of a lump SUM. After some discussion the house divided, and the num bers were— For the amendment l9B Against it Majority against - —lO7 Clauses 39 up to 57 were agreed to. Several bills were advanced a stage, and the house ad journed. Bank of England iteturns. An Account, pursuant to t cap. 82, for the week ending :he Ad 7th and Bth Victoria, Wednesday, May 5, 1869.
