The Bank rate therefore continues at 4f per cent. To-day the forty-fourth yearly general meeting of the Provincial Bank of Ireland was held at the premises of the bank, Broad- street. The directors intended to ray, in July next, as in several past years, an extraordin try diyidend of 30s. on each £lOO share, and 12s. on each £lO share of the capital stock of the bank, in addition to the ordi nary dividend of four cent.

The Honduras Loan is 82 84 ex coupon. In railway shares prices have in some instances improved. Great Western, North Eastern, North Western, and Midland have risen 4, and Caledonian stock is 8 better. South Easterns and Shetlields have receded 4 ; and Chatham and Dover and follows :_ Great Easterns are lower. The prices are as Caledonian, 77 5 ; Great Western, 475 8; Great Eastern, 37 / ; Great Northern, 105 6 ; ditto A, 1054 65 ; Lancashire, 122 4 ; Metropolitan, 974 4 ; Midland, 110/ 4 ; Shef field, 524 3 ; Brighton, 45 5 ; North British, 34 4; North Western, 115 1154; North Eastern, 1031 44 ; South Eastern, 744 5 ; Chatham and Dover, 164 4. . American Five-Twenties are 774 78 ; the 1885 Bonds, at 75i '751; and the Ten-Forties are un altered, at 714 711. Eries have deelined 5, to 184 19; and Illinois Centrals are 4 lower, at 944 941,. The discount demand at the Bank has been full, but not excessive, and as a payment of more than £1,000,000 has been made by the Indian Council to the guaranteed shareholders of the Madras Irri gation and Canal Company in completion of the terms by which the Government take over that undertaking, a proportionate degree of ease has been temporarily imparted to the open market. There were no gold operations at the Bank yes terday. The transactions during the week since the last return has consisted of an influx of £93,000. The Wellesley, from Melbourne, has brought £26,000. The biddings for £350,000 in bills on India were held yesterday at the Bank of England, and the amounts allotted were to Calcutta £329,000, and Madras £21,000. The minithum . price was fixed at is. 101 d. both on Calcutta and Madras, being a re nction of 1 per cent. No tenders on Bombay were invited. Tenders at Is. 104 d. will receive about 89 per cent.; those above that price in full. These results show a considerable diminution in the de mand for means of remittance to the East. New York advices state that the parties by whom the Erie Railway is at present controlled have con trived to introduce into the State Legislature a . bill which virtually perpetuate their power, and that it has passed both Houses, and merely awaits the signe,ure of the Governor to become law. Great efforts, however, were making by the most respec table people in New York to secure a veto from the Governor. It is understood that at the approaching meeting of the Ottoman Bank the directors will recommend a dividend of 12i per cent. for the year 1868, be sides an addition of about £30,000 to the reserve fund, and the carrying forward of a balance of about £B,OOO. At a meeting of the Anglo-Egyptian Banking Company (Limited) a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum was declared for the six months ending February last. A special meeting of the Great Western Railway Co mpany will be held on the 3d of June, when Certain . bills, now pending in Parliament, will be submitted for the consideration and approval of the 'fleeting. The directors of the Anglo-American Telegraph Company have resolved to recommend a dividend o f Ws. per share at the annual meeting on the 14th of June. This Sum of 175., together with the three interim dividends of 10s. each per share already paid, will make a distribution of over 24 per cent. for the year. The following relates to the Suez Canal : " 21, Regent-street, May 19. Sir,—With reference to the arrangement just made between the Egyptian Government and the Suez Canal Company, the substance of which ap peared iu your City Article of this date, I beg to enclose the letters from his Highness the Viceroy o f Egypt to M. Lesseps, from which it will be, seen that the proposal to effect the arrangement now concluded emanated from M. de Lesseps him self, who, cordially co-operating with his Highness in divesting the undertaking of all political charac ter, has clearly defined (what has always been put forward) that the Isthmus of Suez Canal is nothing more than a great commercial enterprise on Egyptian ground, subject to the laws and institu tions of the country.-1 have the honour to be, sir, your very obJdieut servant, " DANIEL A. LANGE, English Representative and Director of the Suez Canal Company." At an adjourned meeting of the creditors of Mr. Charles Bennington, manufacturer, of Blackburn, an offer to pay 10s. in the pound was accepted ; the instalments to consist of ss. in three months, 28. 6d. in six months, and 2s. 6d. in nine months, the last two instalments to be guaranteed.

The failure of the petitions against the return of Lord t Milton and Mr. H. F. Beaumont, for the South-West Riding, has given great satisfaction to the Liberals of the South-West Riding, and to none more than to the earnest friends of the cause in the Hudders field district. On Tuesday night, at Longwood, the first of a series of congratulatory meetings was held ; and the proceedings were of an enthusiastic character. Speeches were delivered by the members for the South- West Riding, and by Mr. Leatham, M.P., and Mr. Mundella, M.P. A resolution expressing confidence in Lord Milton and Mr. Beaumont was carried. Lord Milton declared that he had emleavoured to fulfil the promises he made on the hustings. lie believed that the Conservatives would not oppose the third reading of the Irish Church Bill ; that if they were to do so, it would force the disestablish ment of the Church in England. He did not think it advisable to hold many banquets in honour of party triumphs, because they fostered ill-feeling among friends and neighbours who bad different political opi nions. Mr. Beaumont thought they had fought well this session, and scarcely believed that the House of Lords would throw out the bill on the Irish Church ; but if they did it would be a nail in their coffins, and a very long one too.. The real difficulty in regard to Irish matters would be the land question. He voted for the Permissive Bill because be thought that legislation was required, and he wished to press the Government to take up the question. He concluded by declaring it to be advisable to have a further redistribution of seats. —Mr. Leathern made some observations in which he laid great stress on the importance of the Ballot. He said that the question was becoming stronger than any Government, and must eventually triumph. A resolution was carried expressive of confidence in the present Admin istration, and Mr. Mundella, speaking of the subject, declared that the Government was honest and sincere, which could scarcely be said of any of its predecessors since the days of the Commonwealth. After considering the work before Parliament he said that close application was required in a member of the House of Commons. SH,ME LIST. -410.----.-..-.. nti)INAILI sti.).-&z,b AND BTOClib.

On Wednesday Mr. Payne held an inquest at the Crown Tavern, Essex-street, Strand, respecting the death of Mr. W. R. Young, aged 32 years. Inspector Judge said that at a quarter to eight o'clock on Saturday be saw the body of the deceased in the river opposite Temple Pier, and be took it on board a boat and brought it on shore. In his pocket was found a burial certificate and a letter signed "William Young." The certificate was for a " Riibert Young, 1846." Robert Young stated that the deceased was a con fectioner, living at Nine Elms-lane, Wandsworth-road. Witness Lad not seen the deceased for a fort night. On Wednesday week night he met two young women, and he was never seen alive after he had been in their company. Further evidence was given, and it was stated the young women when asked what they had done with deceased, said that they had "given him the double" on Millpond Bridge. The inquest was adjourned for the attendance of the young women. ALLEGED MURDER BY A FATHER. At the Ottery (Devonshire) Petty Sessions, on Tuesday, William Palfrey, agricultural labourer, was charged with the wilful murder of his son Edward Palfrey. The prisoner and his wife are in the employ of Mr. John Wright, farmer, of Fullaton. On Thursday evening the deceased, 6 years of age, was found by Mr. Wright asleep in. a bullock crib in his courtyard. hlis mother presently came and led him away. The same evening the prisoner took the lad home on his shoulder, and threw him along the floor, " not very hard, but he did not stoop to do it." The little fellow began to groan, and he lay groaning about a quarter of an hour. When the father threw him down, he kicked him, saying, " The child is drunk ; get up." He again said, on being remonstrated with, that he had dipped the child in the brook. During the night the lad died. The medical evidence sheued that there were no marks of violence externally, except a small bruise on the right arm. In the stomach of the de ceased a quantity of blood was found. There was an external laceration of the right lobe of the liver, which went completely through it, almost dividing it. Death was caused by the rupture of the liver and the consequent hemorrhage. Considerable violence must have been used. The magistrates com mitted the prisoner for trial at the ensuing Exeter Assizes on the charge of wilful murder. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE THAMES. On Tuesday, about four o'clock, as two small pleasure boats, belonging to Messrs. Green and Cornett, of Greenwich, were passing down the Thames, off the Arsenal T pier, ti.e occupants of one boat suddenly capsized herby a movement from one side to the other, and instantly there was a struggle for life. 'the five young men so sub merged clinging to the other frail skiff in the endeavour to get into it, unfertunately caused that to ovel turn too. A boat manned fi out the Royal Arsenal ',me:ceded to the spot, and succeeded in rescuing, seven cut of the ten who were in the water, but they were unable to save the rest. It is supposed that the accident was caused by the party in one of the boats moving as the swell of a parsing steametug approached them. Shortly after the melancholy event both boats were rowed to the Woolwich Pier and dragged ashore. Both of them are much damaged, seemingly as if they had been run into. Not one of the bodies had as yet been re covered. • MELANCHOLY BOAT A A CCIDENT.-SEVEN LIVES . On Monday afternoon, about two o'clock, the fishing smack Mystery of Campheltown, Scotland, in company with a number of other boats, set out from the harbour to proceed to the north herring fishing. She was manned by a crew of six fishermen and a bey. The wind, which was mo derate, was blowing from the east, end tha water was quite smooth. On Tuesday morning Mr. Rae, seaman, Pans, brought to Campbeltown the melancholy tidirgs that four dead bodies were found among the rocks at Machrahanish, 6 miles to the west of Catnpbt howl), which are identified asbe longing to the above-mentioned vessel. The smack has been found lying on a rock about a mile from the shore. The bodies of the other three men who composed the crew have not yet turned up. The nets belonging to the Mystery werefound lying on a rock about a mile to the south-west of Pans. It is . stated that the men were eomewhat intoxi cated when they left the harbour, and it is therefore supposed tl at the catastrophe originated in a quarrel. The boy's throat was found to be cut when his body was examined ; but it is supposed that this was done, not by any violence, but by the cord which attached him to a buoy, by which he attempted to save himself, getting en twined about Lis n ck. The names of those found are John Beaten, John M•William, Donald Mathieson, and ll'Allistor : the two latter each have a wife and family. All belong to Campbeltown and the neighbourhood. The remaining three were from the North. On Wednesday the opening of the Royal Botanical Society's Gardens, Regent's Park, took place, and a visit was raid by the Prince and Princess of Wales, attended by the Countess of Macclesfield, Lieutenant-Colonel Knollys, &e. Their Royal Ilighneeses were received by Prince Teek and the president and fellows of tho society, and were con ducted through the grounds. A telegram from Cork slys that after the races last e vening a Tow took place am on g st the people leaving the source. The police endea voured to q uell it, but were he themselves. The mo unted police coming up at the time tried to disperse the crowd, and the mob moved on. As the le Tee retired, stones were thrown at them. One mounted man was struck, but not sr riously wounded. In the Court of Bankruptcy on Wednesday Mr. Reeistrar Rice took the ease of the Countess D'Alteyrac. This bankrupt was described as of Park-street, Grosvenor square, of no oceupatior, end Wednr slay was oppointed for the first meeting. The debts are stated at about £3,000, and it will be retnembered that some tine ago , the bankrupt brought an action against. Lord Willoughby D'Eresby for maiutenance. The proceedings were purely formal. A heavy thunders'orm burst over Halifax between one and two o'clock on Tuesday. The electric fluid struck e e eerel places. The pyincieal damage is at the large new cotton milk erecting at the upper side of the Halifax Work house. The mill (amn- y, which has been erected to the height of 44 yards, was struck on the top and shattered to the bet'om. The chimney is extetnally of stone, being 19 ' feet across at the base, and a brick flue seven feet wide. For ehout 20 yards and downward from the top, on one side of the chimney, the masonry is stripped f.om the brickwork.

BOIT-STREET. HOLIDAY ANIUSEMENTS.—Mary Ann Griffin, tiro wife of a sweep, was placed at the bar charged with wilfully de stroying apane of glass, the property of Mr. Smith, the landlord of the Marquis of 'Anglesey, 11)w-street. From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner, with a number of women, entered the house and requested to be served with drink, but the barman, perceiving they were intoxicated, refused to serve them, and Old them to leave the house. Some of the prisoner's friends at 011C3 left, but the prisoner refuse-1, and said she would not go until she had hien served, and that if she was interfered with it would bi the worse for th ) in li vidual who did so. The barman and pAmitti then cum) iu front of the bar, and after sotno trouole got the prisoner out of the hous , , but as soot as she found lwrself in the street she ru,lred to the door, and finding it close-cl she drove her fist through a Urge pane of ornamental glass. She was then taken into custody. The prisoner said the man three: , her out of the house. She hit the glass by mistake, as she meant the blow for the man who turned her out. Mr. Vaughan said it was very bad to fled women act ing as the prisoner had done. She had been very pro perly removed from the house, an 1 unless she ptid the amount of the damage she had caused, which he found was £2, he should send her to prison. A relative of the prisoner said he would pay the money if a week given him. The pr!soaer wets remanded for eigl.t .lays in order that the property nfglit be replaced, ho: btu was accepted for her reappeara,uce. THAMES. FRAUD, DISSU'ATIOX, AND Green Crewe, a clerk, aged 3ti year,2, who was formerly iu a good position, was I.:rought before Mr_ Paget, charged with obtaining two sacks of split peas by means of a forged order. John Moginnie, foreman to Mr. Benjamin Boucher, corn factor, Love-lane, Shadwell, said that on Monday after noon, at 5 o'clock, the prisoner brought a well-written order to him. It was iu the following words : —"Messrs. Boucher and Co.—Please to deliver to the bearer two sacks of best split pease.—Yours, R. H. Winrrs.—May 17, 1869." Thole was a customer of the firm named Whipps, and believing that Mr. Whipps wrote the note ho delivered two sticks of pease to the pri soner, and they were taken away in a truck. W. J. Phipps, oil an 1, colourman, 134, Cable-street, Whitechapel, said he never wrote he note, and did not know the prisoner. The note was not in his hand writing. _ _ _ Alfred Sturgeon, 90 K, said that he took the prisoner into custody, and he ascertained that he sold the peas to a man in Poplar below the price they were invoiced at. Another officer said the prisoner was formerly in good circumstances, and by a lung course of dissipation hal re duced himself to penury, and lastly forced into crime. Mr. Paget committed the pri onp•r for trial, and said there was no occasion for the evidence of the person who bought the peas at a reduced price. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. BURGLARIES AT THE WEST END.—Frodorick Wytre, a tailor, and William Medealle, a Surrier, both well known thieves, were brought before Mr. D'Eyncourt by Sergeant Christopher Gould, 14 0, charged with breaking and en tering the dwelling-house, No. 19, Lisle-street, Leicester square, and stealing a quantity of property belonging to Mr. Wells, and Me,kali() was further charged wi►h being concerned, with a man named Robert Rout ledge, now under remand, ia committing a burglary, at the house of Mr. Timewell, tailor, of No. 18, Sackville street, and stealing a quantity of property. Evidence of the burglary at Mr. Timuwoll's having been repeated, Thomas Wilson, a cabman, was called, and he proved that Med:alfe was along with Routledge in his cab, and that tht.y had a portmanteau with them, and that when he set them down at No. 13, Old Compton-street, they "hooked" it up stairs. Mr. D'E3 ncourt asked the witness what he meant by "Looked" it? The witness said that they ran upstairs. (Laughter.), Mr. D'Eyncourt asked whether they paid him his fare ? The witness said they did, 6d. in silver and three six pennyworth of halfpence, and he looked at the money, thinking it a small fare. (Laughter.) Mrs. laa.bella Wells, of Lisle-street, identified Wytre as having tntered her bsdroom with a candle alight. She saw him take up her husband's co:A, and she followed him with a life-preserver, but he got away, an 1 she afterwards missed a quantty of property. Upton, 119 B, said he found two knives and a fork, produced, in the room occupied by Dledcalf and the knives and forks had been identified by Mrs. Wells. _ _ Sergeant Gould, 14 C, proved apprehending the pri soner in bed in a house in Old rye -street, and fin•ling two skeleton keys, one of which would opm the door in Li,le-street, and ou the mantelpiece of th a room he found sm., more skcle:on keys. Wytre said, " You have buckled me right this tip , , but do'nt lap too much into me." On the other prisoner turgl►rs' too!s were found. I he prisoners were rem-md THE PORT OF LONDON. It is a s' range fact that as yet no aini:ary super vision is exercise 1 sish respect to the large II eating population li. ing on the Thanes between London bd. lge and Woolwich. When th .3 his epidemic of cholera occurred every district in Isoadon, being provided with a medical otlicer of health, a`, once enlarged its sanitary machinery, and wes able to provide efficient means for pravonting and coping with the disease. But, as no such officer existed to pro vide for the health of the floating population, the work of inspection was voluntarily undertaken by the Dreadnought authorities, and much disease was prevented. The provisions of the Merchant Ship ping Act of 1867, which provide for the better accommodation of seamen on board ship, and for the maintenance of health at sea, do not appear to have effected much improvement in the condition of coasting vessels trading between London and other ports, and a series of reports which have lately ap peared in the British Medical Journal gives some very unsatisfactory details in connection with this subject. It is shown that dirt and disxnufort of every kind still prevail in the forecastles of most cf the smaller vessels ; that there is frequently no ventilation at all except by means of the hatch ways ; that sailors arc often left for several days in bunks ill with infections disorders, thus endanger ing the health of the crews of vesssls lying in the same tier, as well as that of the shore population. It is, indeed, traditionally supposed that for sani tary purposes the river is parcelled out into longi tudinal bits of districts, corresponding to those districts through which it flows ; so that presum ably, no less than eleven medical officers of health are concerned in the supervision of the floating population between London-bridge and Wool wich. But there is no inspection except in the city district, which extends only from the Temple t o the Tower, and that on the north side only, and over which a sanitary inspector has been appointed the city medical officer of health. In the present state of the law this inspection of the city dis trict is almost useless, for any shipmaster who receives orders from the inspector may move into another part of the river and evade them altoget her. The Board of Conservancy, to whom the entire management of the river is now entrusted ; have no officer of health, and the report above quoted contends that its members should be empowered by the Board of Trade to appoint an inspector, who would communicate to them any breaches of the law as to cubical space for the crews of ships, see that sick sailors were sent at once to hospitals, that the forecastles and cabins were cleaned and ventilated, and that hygienic measures, as in the case of houses in the metropolitan dis tricts, were carried out on board all vessels moored in the port. Such a plan would " afford to the Board of Trade a surety that certain clauses of the Duke of Richmond's Act were fully and faithfully carried out; to the shipowner an assurance that his crews were kept in good working order ; to the shipmaster a valuable aid to discipline when his vessel is in port; and to the sailor a material gua rantee that the legislative enactments created for his benefit were applied with constancy and preci sion." PRICE Ole GOLD. The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 251. 27,113. per £1 sterlinz On comparing these rates with the Engtisti Mint price of £3 tia. 104 d. per ounce for standard :cold, it appe..'d tti't gold at the ebove price is of high' r value in London than in Paris. The course of elthaur.re at NeW Yc.rh n London f'Ci las at days' sight was on the 17th i 113!, about ti 091- per cent. At this rate there is no profit on the importation of gold from the United Static. STRUCK DEAD BY LIGHTSING.-A letter from Lectoure, iu the Gera, relates that a farmer and his wife were last week struck dead by li g htning on the road Tarraube.

Race Glasses, by Volgtland, 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 applyiug 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.
