---- srIRIT OP THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. I The Times remarks that it would • De, easy to dilate on the triumph secured at the final stage of the Irish Church Bill in the House of Commons. It does not remember any measure of the same character which has been so decisively approved. But the prominent feeling excited inside and outside the House of Commons by the event of Monday night is one of relief. A variation of half a dozen or of•half a score in a majority considerably exceed ing a hundred is nothing. When a natian has decided in favour of a particular policy it is lost labour to watch the accidental changes in parliamentary divisions. The Times is thankful that the Irish Church Bill has been approved by 361 voices against 247 because itisourduty to be thank ful; but when thankfulness becomes a matter of duty it implies a confession that there is some other feeling which would find expression before it if men spoke their minds freely. It rejoices that the bill has advanced so far, that the work is well-nigh accomplished, that the goal is near. The task, it may be confessed, has been great. Those who have opposed and endeavoured to thwart the measure are perfectly right in (I,2claring that it is in itself a revolution. It marks the substitution of justice for ascendancy, the establishment of equality instead of privilege ; and it intended that the revolution shall bring peace instead of disorder, contentment and prosperity in place of chronic discontent p.ml anarchy. The Poet thinks it was, perhaps, only natural that the Opposition in the House of Commons should avail them- selves of the opportnnity of renewing their protest against the measure for the disestablishmeut nrul clisendowrnPnt of the Irish Church on the motion for the third reading of Mr. Gladstone's bill. It was, however, no less certain that the determination of the House to pass the bill would remain unaffected, and that _ _ _ the final vote would be carried by a majority no Ices formidable than that which carried the measure through its preliminary stages. Without intending it Mr. Disraeli furnished the most conclusive evidence of the necessity of the measure which he so loudly condemned. If socialism and civil war are to be avoided ; if the Irish people are to become contented ; if the laws are to be respected, and the rights of property observed, these results can alone be obtained by removing that badge of superiority which has so long created an undying antago n's-n between two numerically unequal sections of the Irish people. If a Church be not the Church of the nation, it ought, at least, to be the Church of the poor. The Standard says that the fate of the bill in. the House of Commons was never in doubt, and it is now decided. The division settles nothing that was not settled two months ago, and tells our readers nothing more than they knew when the first division in committee shewed how abj,!ct and indissolutile was the bondage to which Mr. Gladgtone had reduced the most independent mem- hers of the Liberal party. The bill has been debated in the Ifonse . of Commons, but never considered ; the only furactift of that assembly has been to register the deci sions of the First Minister, and to preserve his draft bill from the emendations which so important and so sweep- ing a measure ought naturally to have received in passing through committee. Whatever hope may remain, whatever prospect there may be that the worst iniquities and most glaring inconsistencies of the bill may be redressed, rests upon the firmness and the judgment of the House of Lords. That that august body will treat with deserved contempt the hints of coercion or open menaces of violence by which Liberal journals have sought to intimidate them, we can have no doubt whatever. As little do we doubt that, under the guidance of so consummate a lawyer as Lord Cairns, so experienced a statesman as Lord Derby, the Lords will exert their authority in the manner most likely to effect their object, and to secure justice for the Church without provoking a collision which must imperil the Constitution. We have every hope, therefore, that the 1 ill in its present shape will not become law. If it should, it would remain for generations the scandal of our statute-book--a stand ing monument of the unscrupulous injustice to which fax- Cons passion may lead a British Parliament, and of the suicidal fojly to which a short-sighted and grasping ambi tion may impel a great political party.•- , The Daily News says that the Irish Church Bill has been read a third time and passed in the House of Com mons by an overwhelming majority. It goes now to the House of Lords, and everything may be hoped from the good sense and patriotism of that assembly. Its judg ment on the merits of great questions is not always marked by discernment or penetration. But the Peers are Englishmen ; they have moral sympathy with their countrymen, even when they are in intellectual dissent from them. They know when the nation has spoken; and when its verdict is decisive and final. To the appeals and remonstrances of Irish deputations they will reply, " Non possunurs." Even Lord Elcho on Monday night recognised the inevitable, and deplored the absence in our Ccnstitution of those Conservative checks which belong to the balanced Government of the United States, under. which the revoluti6nary measure pro posed by Mr. Gladstone could not, he insisted, have been so peremptorily pressed forward to its fatal conse quences. The great Republic is avenged of its detractors. The debate of Monday exhibited the conflict of opinion which divides the minority, and renders its moral force inferior to even to its numerical strength. Lord Elcho did not speak in the same sense as Mr. Adderley, and the opinions of Dr. Ball were by no means in accordance with those of Mr. Talbot. There are, it is now quite clear, on the Irish Church question two parties within the Conser vative party, each of which is more adverse to the policy of the other than to that of the Government. One section dislikes Mr. Gladstone's hill, but much prefers it to the policy of levelling-up. Another section, equally hostile to the bill, yet more resolutely rejects the idea of maintaining things as they are. The Conservatives are weaker, there fore, than their numbers imply; and the sense of irrecon cileable discord in their own ranks will doubtless do some thing to diminish the reluctance with which the Lords will accept the measure to which, on Monday night, the Commons, by an overwhelming majority, renewed their sanction. The Herald cannot affect to be surprised at the result of Monday's division, though it it is none the less convinced that the leaders of the Constitutional party were well advised in resolving that the bill should not pass through its final stage save with the reiterated censure of those who hold that it is unjust, tyrannical, and revolutionary. It was, of course, a forlorn hope which was so gallantly led by Mr. Maden-Holt. A majority such as that which obeys the nod of Mr. Gladstone is not to be convinced by argument or won to relenting by mere considerations of equity and fairness. It is simply a voting power worked by a kind of machinery which Mr. Gladstone alone can set in motion, and it would have been as feasible to strive to influence it by reasoning as to appeal to the conscience of a piece of clockwork. The Conservatives divided the House because it was the right- thing to do, whatever might be the result, because they were bound to enter their protest to the very last against a measure which they conceive to be of a most pernicious and unconstitutional character, and because they may purge themselves from all responsibility for consequences which they hold to be as inevitable as they moat be deplorable. The Tel declares that the debate on the third reading of the Irish Church Bill would end only in one result, was recognised by Tory not less.emphatically than by Liberal speakers ; and hence "the air of unreality" which marked Monday night's discussion in the Commons from its very opening. Amore lifeless or a more purposeless array of words was never called forth by a great subject, and Mr. Cardwell seol:e with the severity of justice when he declared it to .he "an unworthy occupation of the time of the House." A generation hence people will regard the opposition which the measure has encountered, and the predictions of rational woe which it has excited, with as much wonder as we now regard the frantic hos tility and the wild prophecies of national ruin that greeted Catholic Emancipati, n, the first Reform, Act, and the Repeal of the Corn Laws. Our children will marvel bow, even by political perversity, religions appeals could have been made against what, with all reverence, may be called a truly religious mea sure, Mr. Disraeli, it is true, anticipates a different result, and on Monday night, to paint the future, lie dipped big rhetorical pencil "in dyes of earthquake and - 'eclipse." But Mr. Disraeli's genius has ever been fated to serve as •the handmaid of bad causes, and his predic tions to be falsified by events. "He will add but another to the list of eminent Conservatives, like Lord Lyndhurst and Lei l d Derby, whom the stern Nemesis of distorted genius had doomed to be ever w eon.; ; and the future will have to saY that never did the Commons of England per. form a more wise, a more religious, or, in the highest sense ' of the term, a more Conservative act than when they read ' a third time the bill for destroying that alien ecelesia3ti , :al - ascendancy which has made the name of Ireland a bye word . among the nations. The Star thinks that the debate on the thir.l reading , of the Irish Church Bill was a very L1u!1 aff.or.

The task of moving the rejec tion of the bill was undertaken by one of the gentlemen who represent for the duration of the present Parliament the degeneracy of Lancashire. The result of the debate NVPS, of coarse, a foregone conclusion, and the bill is now safe on its way to the House of Peers.

LAW AND POLICE. -9-- THE LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER RAILWALY COM PANY.—In the Court of Chancery, on Monday, the Lords Justices resumed the hearing of two appeals from orders made by Vice-Chancellor Stuart respecting the affairs of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Compar y. The first order was to restrain the directors from furitier pro secuting in the name of the company the bill for referring the affairs of the company to the arbitration of Lord Cairns and Lord Salisbury. This- bill passed through the House of Commons, and has been read for the first time in the Horrse of Lords. The first order was made by the representatives of the stock and share holders. The sentend order was made upon the application of the represer mtives of the debenture-holders, and directed the pay ment by the direc tors into court of the sum of £150,000, win el bad arisen from the tolls received by the company. The Lords Justices, after hearing arguments on both sides, reversed both the decisions of Vice-Chancellor Stuart, and ordered the costs of the directors to come out of the r.tompany's assets. THE CASE OF OvEHEND AM) GUBN'FY.— In the Equity Court, on Monday, Vice-Chancellor d alins gave-his deci tion with respect to a claim of SlO9. JOO made by the re presentatives of 0 we:end, Gurney, and Co. in respect of a loan advanced to the Cork and Youghal Rail way Company. The Vice-Chancellor decided in favour of the claim, observing that the Irish com pany had had the benefit of the advance, saying nothing of its impropriety for two years, but they now resisted the claim for payment on the winding up of the company, on the ground that the directors bad exhausted their borrowing powers. Such a plea of illegality was contrary to all morality, and the loan must be repaid out of the assets of the company before anything was paid to the shareholders. CHM:GE OF LIBEL.—In the Court of Queen's_l3ench, on Monday, the court refused a second application for a rule calling upon the publisher of the Sheffield Independent to shew - cause why a criminal information should not issue against him for libel upon Mr. Munster, a defeated candidate for Cashel at the last election. Leave to renew the application had not been solicited when the rule was refused last term, and under those circumstances it could not be entertained. CAB-STANDS AT RAILWAY-STATIONS.—On Monday the Court of Exchequer decided an important question con cerning the status of cab-stands at railway-stations. A cab proprietor, who is a member of the strike committee, summoned a cabman for refusing to drive him from King's cross to Camden-town. The defence was that the com plainant had not arrived by a train. The magistrate dismissed the summons on the ground that a railway station was private property, and did not come within the meaning of the Act. On appeal his ruling has been lonfirmed. ATTEMPTED MURDER IN Sus EX.— On Monday morn. ing, a young man, named Cooper, aged 20, was brought before the Sussex county magistrates charged with at tempting to murder his father, at Enfield, by discharging a loaded rifle at him. The crime was com mitted on the 24th of February, but the wounds were so severe that it was not until Monday that he was able to give evidence. Mr. Cooper, sen., is an agricultural implement manufacturer, and is greatly respected. The court was crowded. At the con clusion of his evidence the prosecutor shook hands with his son, and both were deeply affected. The prisoner had nothing to say to the charge, and was committed for trial at the next Lewes Assizes. THE CEMETERY COMPANY FRAUDS. - At the annual meeting of the Abney Park Cemetery Company, the frauds upon the company by a clerk were discussed at length. The directors offered a dividend of 10 per cent; and after congratulating the shareholders on this, the chairman went on to explain the defalcations in the accounts. He did not think that was the occasion when they should discuss the question as to whether the clerk who had robbed the company so heavily had been their servant, or simply the servant of the secretary. That point would, no doubt, arise hereafter; but he had no hesitation in saying that the board had always reposed the fullest confidence in Mr. Heath, who had discharged the duties of secretary in an efficient and satisfactory manner. The discovery of the frauds was a little remarkable. Mr. Bontems, one of the directors, naturally surprised at the disclosures that were being made in the commercial world, suggested the propriety of investigating their own , accounts, with the view of seeing whether they were being kept in a manner that secured the interests of the share holders. That suggestion led the secretary to see Mr. Brown, the superintendent at the cemetery, and, in the course of the conversation, Mr. Brown said, "I think you had better look more at home, at the office in the City I mean ... , than come here." Mr. Heath was at once put upon his metal, and asked what such observations pointed to. Mr. Brown then referred to the style in which Carter, the clerk, was living, as being out of all character with the receipt of only £lOO a year, and added that it had frequently struck Lim that, considering the amount of business which was done at the cemetery, much of the money received did not appear in the published accounts, which he had perused. Mr. Heath communicated with the directors, and a scrutiny of the books took place. Carter was questioned ; his replies were not considered satisfactory ; but on the pretext of procuring some luncheon he left the office, and had not since been heard of. The other person connected with the frauds was a clerk named Kitchen. He worked under Carter, and after that individual had absconded Kitchen was closely interro gated, and after some show of virtuous indignation he said if anything was wrong he was not to blame, as he had on'y acted under the instructions of his superior. While the investigation was proceeding the secretary found some rolls of papers in a secret drawer, and those documents disclosed many frauds, and the precise manner in which they had been committed. He did not believe the auditors could have discovered the frauds. By some means Carter had obtained possession of an extra order receipt book, and when people paid money they received receipts from that book, when the fly leaves were torn out, and it was a toll of these that was accidentally discovered. Unfortunately the receipt books in use had not been con secutively numbered by the printers, or the frauds would have been more difficult to perpetrate, and they could not have been committed at all if Carter and Kitchen had not been in collusion. How could blame attach to the directors in the matter? It was very easy to say, " You (right to have done this, or you ought to have done that ;" but all boards and all other persons who transacted an extensive business must of necessity place a large amount of confidence in their servants, or they would have to limit their transactions to what they could indi vidually superintenl. The hoard placed a large amount of confidence in the secretary, who deserved such con fidence, and the secretary, no doubt, had full reliance on those who served him. 'The directors had taken every precaution to prevent frauds in future. A SHAREHOLDER : You have not told us the amount of Carter's frauds. The CHAIRMAN : I regret I cannot give a definite answer to that question. Carter bad been in the offices of the com pany for twenty years, end at present we have only been able to carry the investigation over one year, IS6S, and we find that his defalcations in those twelve months amounted to a little over £6OO. I trust the frauds in former years were not so large as in the last few, because people who commit wrong without detection often became more bold as their offtnce increased. An-amendment was moved to the motion for the adop tion of the report. It was pointed out that the balance sheet did not contain any allusion to the frauds; that in fact they were not fully discovered 'as yet ; and therefore the accounts were not truAworthy enough to declare a dividend. The directors, however, contended that of necessity this could not be otherwise; the books, as far as they went, were quite correct, and the money was embezzled by keeping items out of the books. Mr. Reed, M.P., one of the directors, stated his opinion that Carter was the secretary's servant, and not Vie company's. The secretary was doubtless responsible for what Carter had done, and the company ought not to be the sufferers. Ire defended the directors from any charge of neglect, ;:nd said. no board could withstand a conspiracy that hail been carried on by collusion, as the one under discus; ion. At the close of the discussion the amendment was rejected, and the original motion was agreed to.

He says " Our corre spondent seems to ignore that while the nuisance of the catgut manufactory obtrudes itself on. its neighbours, the nuisance of properly-regulated public houses exists only for those who are so weak that they cannot pass them without being tempted in. Are we to deny moderate enjoyments to the minority be cause the majority distrust their own moderation ?" To this we reply' by asking what the editor means by " well-regulated public-houses ? " Does he mean public-houses where drunkenness is forbidden ? If so, will he tell us where such phenomena e..ist ? If he does not mean this, in what does the " regula tion " consist ? If even in a " well-regulated." public-house a man may get drunk and ruin himself and bring his family upon the parish, we, the sober majority, who have to support that family, have a right to say something on this question—to say if the number of pauper manufactories shall be inerec.sed or not. If, then, the drunkard desires to close the public-houses because they are a snare to him, and the sober man desires to close them because they are a tax upon him, where is the injustice or the tyranny ? The argument is stronger even than this. It is not only the neighbours who object to the pauper-factory ; it is the pauper also. Catgut offers no objection to being manufactured the pauper does. Thus, then, we find that no S'peeta!or admits the fairness of the objection against the catgut factory: simply because it offends the neighbours' nose, but will not admit the fairness of the' objections t.) the ' pauper-factory, although it offends the neighbour's eye and his pocket, and although it is strongly objected to by the article manufactured — the pauper himself. SIR ROBERT CLIFTON. A very notorious M.P. has departed from the legis lative and every other earthly scene. Sir Robert Clifton, the sue-disant Liberal who always voted with the Conservatives, the adored of the Nottingham roughs, the shepherd of the Not tingham lambs, died on Sunday of typhoid fever. Sir Robert was the owner of Clifton, that beautiful park on the banks of the Trent which Kirke White has immortalised. He was also well known on the Turf, where he met with much ill-luck. In 1831 a seat became vacant by the elevation of Mr. Mellor to the bench. The then Duke of Newcastle, a member of the existing Cabinet, having great influence in the borough, brought forward his son, the Earl of Linaoln. The Liberal party was divided. The old Liberals and Whigs, headed by Mr. Mundella, the present M.P. for Sheffield, .supported the Earl, the " Independent " party - resisted their "dictation," and this disaffection being skilfully fomented by the Conservatives, Sir Robert Clifton was brought forward as a Radical, with the understanding that he would generally vote with the Conservatives. The result was-1. A tremendous tumult; 2. A signal triumph of the Clifton over the Clumber influence, Sir Robert polling 2,513 votes, and the Earl of Lincoln only 1,122. At the general election for 1805 the hostility between the two sections of the Liberal party was fiercer than ever. The old Liberals brought forward Mr. Samuel Morley and the the former member, Mt% Paget. Sirltobert Clifton wa s again brought forward by the Independents, and Mr. Alfred Marten, a barrister, by the Conservatives, who hoped to profit by the Liberal disunion. A terrible time followed ; the " lambs" went about like roaring lions, seelsing whom they might devour. Houses were gutted, electors were maltreated, and for several days the town was the scene of fierce riot. The polling shewed a very Gloss run. Mr. Morley had 2,303 votes, Sir R. Clifton 2,352, Mr. Paget 2,327, Mr. Marten 2,242. TUE MONEY MARKET. The Paget party petitioned against Sir It.

A petition was talked of on the part of Mr. Seely against Colonel Wright ; but it was abandoned, es was stated at the time in the local papers, on the understanding that Colonel Wright would apply for the Chiltern Hundreds on the ground of ill-health. He has not done so, and Mr. Seely has not petitioned. It remains to be seen if the latter gentleman will come forward for the present vacancy. Mr.' Osborne is nearly certain to do so. It is not a little remarkable that the old antagonists, Sir Robert Clifton and the Duke of Newcastle, should be the subject of news paper paragraphs at the same time, though for verydif ferent reasons. Sir Robert was the last representative sf one of the oldest families in the kingdom. He sur vived only a few months his aged uncle, Sir Arthur, who died early in the year at nearly 100 years old. Sir Robert was only 43. OBITUARY. Besides the death of Sir R. Clifton we regret to announce that o f C a pt a in Colin Campbell, R.N.

TIIE DUBLIN ELECTION. Mr. R. Cecil Guinness, the Conservati'e candidate for Dublin, has to all appearances quietly withdrawn. His address has disappeared from all the local journals, and the exertions on his behalf have ceased. It is rumoured that he is dissatisfied with the inactivity shewn by the Conservative party as regards the suspension of the writ, and that he has abandoned his intention to come forward as a nndidate. `i' 4111 continued without intermission up to the time of sending this message, consequently no horses have been out on the Downs, BICIIMOND.—ThUr6day.—The morning was bitterly cold and w, t, and the going very heavy.

The horses from the Findon stable came out at 5 o'clock, and went across to the Black Patch, where they were joined by the horses from the Michel Grove stable. After they had done their two cantors of a mile and long walking exercise, Madrid, Cncoa Nut, Mententn, and the Lozenge filly alloped a mile at ,three-quarters speed.

Lictor was then sent to lead Masterstroke a steady cantor of a mile and a quarter, followed by Blue Gown and Eos:crucian, and over the same course Siderolire showed the way for Madame Eg leuti ne 1, Waif, Blue Stocking, and Salamis. Some walking and trotting exercise was afterwards done in the hollow, when alt again repeated their canter of a mile and a quir. l ter; s ,, me more slow healthy exercise was got through, and Lictor was sent to lead Madame Eglentioe filly, Waif, Blue Stocking, and Salamis in a good Irilf-sp. el gallop of a mile and a half, all going remarkably well. The morn ing's work was finished by S:derolite leading Blue Gown and Posicrucian in a rattling gallop of two miles, the lot going free and well.

Brigantine is not engaged in the St. Leger, or in any race in which she will rim against Pretender, unless the latter should be post-entered for the Ascot Cup, which is not at all prolable. The Northumberland Plate has obtained twenty-four acceptances out of the original entry of fifty-two. It is worthy of note that Ladas, the runner for whom the highest price had been paid, ran last in the Derby. My Honey, after winning the Epsom Manor Stakes on Wednesday, wns sold to Mr. Powter for 163 guineas. Thunderclap, after winning tb' Ebbisham Stakes at Epsom on Thursday, was sold to Mr. E.

We do not re member a similar instance of the Derby and Oaks winners being sold as yearlings on the same day. The news of Pretender's victory was exceedingly well received at Doncaster, the colt having been bred in the own.plr. W.

TWAT:CS. Somewhat tardily a report of the meeting of the Confraternity Of the Blessed Sacrament, held in London on Thursday, is now published. The Rev. I'. T. Carter, of Viewer, presided. The secre tary, the Rev. E. Cleaver, of St. Barnabas, Pimlico, mentioned that during the past year four priests had withdrawn their names, and the Bishop of HonohAu and seventy priests had joined the society. There were now two bishops and 230 priests clerical associates, and 2,400 medals had been issued to lay members, though even that nun;ber did not, include all the lay associates. Ten new wards had been admitted during the year, and the total number was now 27. The Rev. T. C. Chambers referred at great length to the recent Ritual judgment. He lamented that the High Church party bad not acted with regard to it as the Roman Catholics had done with regard to the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill. These had simply disregarded a measure "passed to put the extinguisher on a number of their fellow-members of the Christian Church." If the High Church party, instead of talking so largely at the unhappy and miserable meeting at Freemasons' Hall," " sounding their penny trumpets, and making a great flourish in the press," had simply stood shoulder to shoulder and disobeyed the law, all would have been well. But now, by their weakness, they had become the object of sneers and laughter. Ile congratulated the Scotch Church upon the "supreme advantage" which they possessed in not being connected was rapidlyeetedwiththe State te ti t a period.Littl when eclalesaid this country there would be a complete severance between Church and State. Ile considered that the feebleness of the sacramental life in Scotland was because it had been overshadowed by the Church of England ; the Scottish bishops and laity had felt bound to follow the lead of that dull section of the Church of Eng land which did what Lambeth did because it was what Whitehall desired. AP.ISTOCIIATIC GOSSIP. The Morning Advertiser denies positively that Mr. Chichester Fortescue is going either to resign his post or to accept a - peerage. He is perfectly well, and if he ever goes to the Upper House, it will be as Lord Clermont, in succession to his brother. Another paper states that a noble duke has just had the humiliation of seeing his house in the possession of the bailiffs, and that he may comfort himself with the knowledge that he has a compan'.on in misfor tune in the shape of a noble earl. Concerning the first-mentioned peer, there is a rumour that he will shortly have to deft nd an action in the Divorce Court. The Marquis of Huntly, premier mar quis of Scotland, who came of age last year, is going to. be married to the daughter of a Manchester manufacturer of immense wealth. MR. REVERDY JOHNSON. The agents who let Mr. Ileverdy Johnson his house in Upper Portland-place write to the Tones to deny the statement that Mr. John son h:A to pay a fine of ;C2,000 for leaving his house before Cie Jive years for which he took it were expired. It is to be hoped that Mr. Johnson has been able to make an arrangement with his successor to take his menage off his hands. Mr. Motley arrived in England on Saturday night, and was received in state by the Mayor of Liverpool. THE " SPECTATOR " AND THE PERMISSIVE DILL. Mr. G. Bolleston writes from Ox f ordto the Spectator regretting the opposition which that journal offers to the Permissive Bill. He points out that when a number of well-to-do persons take a row of plots of ground for building their houses upon, they take very good care to protect themselves, by stipulations in their building leases, against the contingency of having the corner house seized upon as an eligible site elroseirtgto3:l privileges public-house. e It, To the objection that the whohigahtt interfere ta ti noits atgr tri agree cs with longwith t the e s i socialhMo those Iloll social privileges do not interfere with the purses or the persons of the majority. For instance, no one will have the right to object to the proximity of a croquet ground, but any one may object to the proimity of a catgut manufactory or a chemical manufa_tory. The law of Philistia does, indeed, protect us-against these, j but it stops short of allowing the poorer clasces to protect themselves ag-anist what they have discovered i s m or e injurious than any other nuisnir:e to their souls, bodies. and purses. The argument that with the Permissive we introduce the principleand practice of " the tyranny of the majority comes gracefully, Mr. Bolleston thinks, from a rejected Tory candidate, but - sounds oddly in the mouth of a Liberal. Any how, he prefers the tyranny" of a two - thirds majority to that of the brewer and the speculative builder. Finally, Mr. liolleston points to the more than thousaud parishes where the beneficent " tyranny" of the autocratic landowner has abolished the drink shops. and asks if it is right to allow one man to exercise that prohibitory power in a parish and .to withhold it from the majority of the parishioners. TA thy, lattax editor . . otjhoiSD ct(itor apptek DERBY WINNINGS. The, largest winners by the Derby victory of Pretender are Mr. Steel, who nets between £15,000 and £20,000, and Mr. Whittaker, of ➢lanchester, who takes about £12,000. Mr. Jardine, the owner of the horse, and his friends win about £lO,OOO among them. The Drummer ran so well in the race that Mr. Graham, his owner, intends to start him for the Grand Prix of Paris. THE ROYAL ACADEMY. Lord Ribblesdale has a word to say in behalf of those artists who have been sacrificed to " clique, coterie, and egotism "by the Royal Academy. The Academy accepted about Boo oil paintings out of many thousands, and yet about 9 5 per cent. of the whole belong to the privileged class, the academicians and their friends and pupils. Lord Ribblesdale is particularly sarcastic upon the. President, w.ho con tributes eight which ar e no t exactly easel pictures. By contrast, Pars exhibits 3, 9 10 oil pictures against London's 600. . A PI.RA ENTERTAINMENT. The flea. has been caught, captured, and made use ful at last. We some time since mentioned that a gentleman, calling himself Professor Kitchingman, had been en leavonrlng to educate the pular frritans, and that he had succeeded to some extent. lie is now spewing to such of the world of London as care to see his exhibition what teaching and patient labour can do in producing performing flee lie has made fleas' furniture, men-of-war, chariots, railway engines, treadmills, tight-ropes, sec-saws, and guns, and has brought his in sects to such a pitch of perfection that they draw, pull, fire, and do other wonderful things when he wants them to do so. They are tied to the instru ments by fine hairs or glass threads, and soon learn how to do their work. Mr. Kitchingman believes the creatures have intellects. Without endorsing this, or unduly triumphing at the fact that the insect which has so long laughed at man, spoilt his temper so often, and baffled so effectually all attempts at suppression,` can now be tamed and brought under the master mind, we must congratulate the Professor on having accomplished a most wonderful tail:. The flea is certainly a bad master; we hope he will prove a good servant. SPORTING PROPHECIES. CROYDON AND NEWTON MEETINGS. 64 BELL'S LIFE." Newton.—Great Newton Cup -Ploughboy. "TILE ERA."

With reference to the telegraph to the New York Tri6une reporting the hostile alliance against America of England, France, and Spain, if concocted for stoekjobbing purposes, was a failure. The IVall Street Journal remarks on it as follows —" As this reliable cablegram did not fire the American heart,' and geld fell three-quarters per cent. with an equal rise in U.S. Government Securities, Euro. pean capitalists and investors can safely continue to pur chase our Government, state, and Railroad Bonds, with a certainty that they will realize a higher interest on better security than can be o l atained from investments in Spanish, Portuguese, Russia; or any other European Government Securities."

Outside influences have forced frequent changes upon the money market at New York during the past week, and it has passed theough frequent and varying phases, clos ing, however, on Thursday with a good supply of funds at regular and moderete rates. The fluctuations in the gold market, the Government's purchase of bonds and sale of gold, and the course of financial affairs abroad, have all affected the market and sustained its unsettled and un pleasant condition. The prevailing rates have been 6to 7 per cent., with a tendency to the lower figure, and loans have been male on Government security as low as 5} per cent. The uncertainty as to the future financial policy of the Government, upon which events throw little light, makes capitalists cautious, and the disposition to hold on to money is rather stronger than usual, and stronger than • the situation seems to justify. The statemeut of the New ork banks on Saturday was verifevourable, showing a large increase iu the lotus, and also in the reserve, which now amounts to several millions. over the legal limit. Specie has been received from abroad, and gold has been disbursed by the Treasury Department in payment of the May interest, 'bringing up the total of coin, which the banks now hold, to over $16,000,000, or nearly doubling its amount in one week. -The sensation reports of an Anglo-French-Spanish alliance against the United States have been unable to produce any effect in the money mar ket either at New York or Boston, and its tone is firm and vigorous. In the West there is only a moderato demand for money, and it is readily met by the local bankers. The course of business has been somewhat disturbed by the celebreti-m of the Pacific Railroad's completion, and the • trade . of the week has" lighter than u s u a l. G ra i n - dealers are now the chief borrowers of money, and they get all th , y want at 10 to 12 per cent. The United States Securities continue to bring high prices, and a ready sale. In the face of the warlike hoaxes from London, and the advance of rates by the B ink of Englund, the Five-Twen ties have gene up both in that market and at Frankfort, and, of course, have simultaneously appreciated in value at New York. The purchase of bonds by the Govern ment creates an expectetion, which is doubtless well grounded,. that there will sometime be a scarcity of these favourite securities and a still greater advance in their price. The first purchase of bonds by the assistant treasurer at New York, occurred on Wed nesday, and the whole million were taken of Fisk and 'latch and Jay Cooke and Co., who offered to supply them at the market rates for the day. Only $3,400,000 were offered, and the bide which were rejected were all above the market price. Secretary . Boutwell's purchase of these securities is variously criticised by papers of all parties and sections of the country, but the general opinion of the press and public is undoubtedly and un qualifiedly ono of approval. Whether the Secretary re vives the long neglected Sinking Fund Act , or simply holds the bonds in the Treasury, it is certain that the . Go vernment saves the interest on them, an d to an ordinary man,. possessed of honesty and common sense, and would • to pay up his debts, the policy of Mr. Boutwell seem at once wise, expediente.and reasonable. Theileza York &ening Post objects both to the purchase of bonds or the establishment of a sinking fund, and urges Mr. Boutwell, if he must do anything with the surplus coin in the Treasury, to expend it in redemption of the Three I per Cent. Certificates of deposit. The P ost takes excep tions to the purchase of b ends by h con tinguency of future sale, becausetite Secretary with a makes the Govern ment a speculator in its own bonds,and almost certainly at a loss. But Mr. Boutwell has no- yet said that he should sell again the bonds, which he is now buying, is there any pro bability that he - will, unless he can 1101. The diminution of - the amount do so at an advantag e . of bonds in the market will undoubtedly enhance and permanently sustain their value sufficiently to stand all the Government would ever put on the market. The receipts from the annual income tax, which is being paid this m9stli will owyll the aggregate mom Ictr May to an unusually large amount, and after subtracting the twenty-five millions of gold interest, paid, thet'e will still be left a handsome surplus for the reduction of the debt. Whatever criticisms may be made on Mr. Bout well's policy in finances there is no doubt that the results of his Administration thus far have been most satisfactory and creditable. The gold market has met with no deci sive event, but continues to maintain its prices firmly. The general expectation, that something may turn up in the shape of a brush with Spain, England, Franco, or squie other second-rate power, undoubtedly sustains the hopes of the speculators, but they have just now all they care to attend to to carry the weekly sales of a million by the Government and the disbursements of the May interest. The purchase a.ad the appreciation of Five-twenties also exerts a cont-ary influence on gold, and there s ems no apparent reason why the price should not henceforth re cede. It is, however, of no great consequence whether it does or not, for with the firm and steady tone in the mo ney and Government tnarkes gold as.-tunes a p'ace •of secondary importance. '1 he export dtinand for specie is small, and the stainer Westphalia landed 8153,0011 at New York on Tu:•sday. Imports and the demna- d for duties continue Lirge, aid will help to keep up the pr,-mium The exports of specie from New York since Lim .ry have been only 611,310,341, against 8 . 13,819,903 for the corres ponding time last year, while the imports of dry goods have b.,en $39,607,677, against $29,007,860 for last year. The chief event of the New York :•tock market has been the consolidation of the old New York stock exchange, established nearly 60 years ago, and the open board of brokers, or,;itnized 18133, and the election of the following officers for the ensuing year:—President, 11. Neilson; Vice Presidents, - M. A. Wheelock . and B. 0. White ; trea surer, D. C. Hays; and secretary, G. H. Broadhead. The regular call will be confined to bank shares, stock bonds, and railway and other securities which are not specula tive, while the speculative stocks will be dealt in continu ously in the "long room." It was at first contemplated to consolidate the Government board with. the stock ex change, but after a short trial the plan was abandoned, and that board put back to its old room with three daily calls as before. The railway share market has been active and firm, and prices have generally advanced. The " Vandettilt roads" have been fluctuating, and in New York Central the rise and fall hac reached 8 per cent. in single day. The consolidation of the Central and Illudson River roads is rumoured, on a capital of $100,000,000.. Ths united capital of the two roads is now 883,00,4000, and it is to be watered up to the limit, on which Vanderbilt sap that it can easily earn 10 per cent. Another rumoured consolidation is that of the Harlem, Lebanon Springs, and Bennington and Rutland Roads, with a joint capital of $25,000,000. The Lake Shore and Michigan Southern consolidation has been effacted, and the officers of the new corporation will be elected at Cleve'aid iu June• The capital of the two roads is now $33,000,000, but this will probably be increased io $50,000,000, and some of it distributed in the shape of a scrip dividend. A large scrip dividend on the stock of the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne. and Chicago Road is also reported in prospect, and future con" solidation with the Pennsylvania Central on the enlarged capital, or a perpetual lease of the latter company on guarantee of ten per cent. dividends. The stock of the Chicago and North Western Riad has advanced rapidly, in consequence of the completion of the Pacific Road, and its opening to freight and passsenger traffic. The dr/ goods market has not materially changed during the week, but prices continue dull and heavy in domestic goods, and unsettled iu foreign, in consequence of the fluctuations of gold. Cotton has been firmer in all the Southern markets, and more business is done, both for export and coast wise trade. The reports of injury to the growing crops by frost and flood lack confirmation, and later adviene from the interior are of a more encouraging character• Wheat and flour are duller and prices have declined, under a slackened foreign demand, and delay for receipts by the canals, which will be due at tidewater in a few days. Tl lO stock now at market is not large, and no - great a mount will be carried over to meet the new crop. Unusual l 9 warm weather and unusually large receipts have de pressed the prices of cattle at Brighton 25c. to 50c. per hundred. An excellent story is told of the late Secretary of the United States Navy. Tho Hon, Gickon Wells ba d held that post for eight years when he was supplanted 13 1 Mr. Boric, on the inauguration of President Grunt. Il e had then to transport his things from Washington to bl e home at Hartford, awl the plunder was found to have 0 accumulated in this long period that the franking prin t ' lege being out of the question, he took a Government ves", sel for the purpose. She drew eleven feet of water, tin e on arriving at the Connecticut River, he found that those drawing over six feet could not cross the Saybrook - b ar ' After spending days on the coast, she put into Now Lou don, whence his goods were forwarded home, at just doubl e the cost their transport would have been direct from Washington. The punishment befalling a Secretary tli es long in office, and during so eventful a period, for being 5 . ° ignorant on these points as to dispatch a steamer on sueD , l , a useless errand, is a little chuckled over by "UncleSulA whose vessel was so unwarrantably employee.
