7TY NEWS. Two O'CLOCK. The Bank. of England return, completed to the 27th inst., shows some rather unfavourable features. The bullion, in consequence of the demand for the continent and the shipments to the East, has been diminished by nearly half a mil lion sterling. In the reserve of notes there is a falling off of over a quarter of a mil lion, and the active circulation also shows a slight diminution. The other securities have been increased about half a million, and the public and private deposits both show a moderate augmenta tion. The other items of the balance sheet exhibit no change of importance; they will be seen in the subjoined table:— Active Circulation Decrease Bullion • .

The rise in the Bank minimum has neither had the effect of checking the inquiry for accommodation, nor the efflux of gold, which is causing a rapid decline in the stock of precious metals lodged in that establishment. Should these influences remain in operation much longer, the public must •be prepared for a further modification of the official terms of discount. The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon exhibited a further advance in the rates on Vienna and Trieite, but on Amsterdam and Hamburg a decline took place. • About £40,000 in gold was withdrawn from the_ Bank of England yesterday. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed with a very dull and . inactive appearance, and prices tended downwards. The sales only amounted to 4,000 bales. To-day the following Railway calls come due, £2 per she* or £140,738, on the. Great Western of Canada ; £3, or £48,312, on the Lancaster and Preston Junction ; £2, or £93,280, on the Recife and San Francisco shares, £9 paid, and £l, or £ 1 ,360, on the - £lO paid. Since Monday last the imports of specie have been about £412,828, and the exports £348,070, exclusive of the following shipments direct from Lon* to the Contineht during. the week ending Thursday last Gold coin Oporto 250 oz.

The Funds, as well as foreign stocks and railway shares, are all at a slight improvement, and as only two failures have occurred affairs have settled down into a more tranquil state ; but whether the improvement will continue must of course depend upon the nature of the advices from the Continent. After such a 'week of intense commotion the com parative quietude thus experienced is most refreshing ; and_ although fears are expressed that serious difficulties may arise onso from the Cl se ttlement, it i s h oped that the result may not prove so adverse as some parties appear to appre bend. Consols, which have been 90 to I, are now (two f O'clock) about 90 sellers; and rather less firmness is 4 reported in th e o t h er markets. Except in connexion with the settlement, the busi ness transacted has been comparatively limited. _ B ank Sto c k h as receded to 215 to 219 ; the New T hrees to 88 891 • the Reduced to 881 89 ; and s :2 4 I " per Cent s . t o 7 5.

Wh en we tn., wrote funds w ere a t 95 , and they have since • at 88f, showing a fall of a per cent. On f„„`"nasday the Times calculated the depreciation in the :7 8 atid different railway shares at 50 millions sterling ;u) as funds were then over 90, the fall which has taken P'ace will make the total depreciation nearer 100 millions, !Nthilarome of the foreign securities and railways have chrcely been negotiable at any price whatever. -Unfor gulatelY, it so happens that abroad, and even _in this cotattry, the fluctuations in the funds are looked upon as the bltrometer of public opinion, and, therefore, ng impressions, especially on the Continent, are to a certain extent created. In reality, however,sicteehl,graereat fluctuations, and the panics that invariabl principally caused brlarge specnlatives sales in the Stock .Exclange, and by mere gambling transactions. The public who 'are • holders of stock Re e the daily fall, and becoming alarmed, rush eagerly to sell, and g lly toe Stock satisfaction of the "bears." This time, ho're e v i e a r, - th o e Stock Exchange suffers the most severely,,and already up wards of 50 failures have taken place, otte of them alone it is 'said being for xr40,000. The chief cause of these disas sters is undrstood to be that the banks refused to advance t oney upon foreign securities, and very little upon any ,thers. Among all this, it is not surprising that the 'riaipg Share Market should be dull, and cemparatively inactive ; but there has been no kind of panic on the mar pt, or any particular fall in price • in fact, the m ar k et on ~le le has been w e ll supported, and as ther e i s not demay to be a fall in metals, good dividend and progressive ndill, as we have before remarked, become greatly in 4, and be the safest and most profitable means of vcstnaent.—..3fining journal of this clay.

THE WATERLOO -BRIDGE TRAGEDY.—The state ments made by the old woman have been strictly inquired into, and there is not the least reason to suppose them any thing more than the imagination of an unsound mind.

It appears that nearly all the leading naval engineers throughout the country have their hands full of foreign orders, especially for Fr anc e an d R uss i a , an d th a t most establishmentsi are working. overtime. These orders are eagerly caught at, since it is the custom of foreign Governments to pay down one-third of the price even be fore their contracts are commenced. The eight ships of the European and American Steam Company, purchased by Mr. Lever and oth ers f or £250,000, are not for the Galway Company, but have been taken, it is stated, as a private speculation. It was ex pected the French Government would purchase them, and possibly the private speculation may take that turn.

(Before the Lord Chancellor and Lord Justice Turner.) APPEAL.—THE LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST RAILWAY COMPANY V. aim . LONDON 4ND SOUTH - WES fI. RN RAILWAY COMPANY. This part-heard motion for decree Was resumed this morning. Mr. Giffard . (with whom is Sir Richard Bothell, Q.C.) is now being heard for the respondents—the London and South-Western Railway Company. The case is not concluded. ROLLS' COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir John Romill JUDGMENT.-FULLER V. REDMAN. His Honour the Master of the Rolls said—This is a ques tion on the administration of assets, and the question is whether the executor, or rather the administrator of the deceased testator, was entitled to the administra • tion of the whole of the assets, and that in pass ing his accounts he should have • credit for £174 15s. Bd., which he paid in the discharge 'of a simple contract debt against a judgment debt entered upon against the testator in his lifetime; whether the judgment debt ought to have priority ? The question is one of con siderable singularity, and arises from an oversight of the Legislature in the statutes which have been passed. His Honour stated the facts, and referred to the case of Littledon v.Higgins as a case in point, and after considering the statutes of 4 and 5 William and Mary, 7 and 8 William 111., 1 and 2 Victoria, cap. 10, sec. 19, and 2 and 3 Victoria, cap. 11, came to the conclusion that the question was de cided by the old acts of Parliament against the executor. His Honour thought the certificate of his chief clerk, against allowing credit for this sum in account, was against the 'plaintiff's administration, and that the claimant stands precisely in the situation of a simple contract creditor, and that the judgment creditor may go against the equitable and legal assets of the testator. Counki undertook to adjust the minutes before the final decree. Counsel in the cause—Mr. - 11.:Talmer, Q.C., and Mr. Lloyd, Q.C. POLICE IXTELLIGEWOR.-(TRIS DAY. GUILDIIALL PRAISEWORTHY CONDUCT OF A PAWNBROKER.—Fanny Pugh, aged 17, described as a servant, was charged with stealing and attempting to pledge 78 yards of silk, the property of Messrs. Nicholson and Co., of Cannon.-street. The pt isoner was employed to carry parcels of work to a person employed by prosecutors. The principalevidenee was given by the pawnbroker, named Foley, who stated the prisoner came to him on Thursday, and offered the silk for £3. Witness refused to advance that sum, or indeed any, until the owner of the property was present. Upon this the prisoner fetched a woman, who said the silk belonged to her husband, but Mr. Foley declined to either advance the money or to return the silk. The police were communicated with, and prisoner taken into custody. The prosecutor's foreman attended, and identified the silk, and the prisoner was remanded till a future day. MARLBOROIIGH-STREET. PICKPOCKETS AT TILE ST. JAMES'S HALL.—Mary Ann Taylor and Catherine Smith were charged with being at the St. James's-hall, for the purpose of picking pockets, during tke preaching of a sermon by Mr. Spurgeon. _ Charles Cole, 317 A, a detective, said that on the pre vious day he was on the staircase of the St. James's-hall, coming down towards Regent-street, when ho saw, Taylor standing by an elderly female in black, and, knowing her to be the companion of thieves, he stood behind her, looking to the right, and saw the prisoner Smith, whom he . also knew as the companion of thieves. In a few minutes he saw the prisoners talking together, and heard Taylor say, " We won't wait any longer," and leave the hall with Smith. They directly after returned, and Smith took off her left glove and put her hand into the pocket of a female. He . afterwards saw Taylor put her hand into the pocket of a female who was looking into a window in Regent-street, but observing him (Cole) she motioned with her hand, and an Atlas omnibus coming they both hailed it, but getting tho assistance of another officer he took them into custody. Smith said that she knew nothing of the other woman, that she was respectable, and had come to Regent-street for work, but could not say at what shop. On searching them a knife was found on each. Mr. Bingham committed the prisoners for a month each THAMES. I HOUSE-BREAKING IN THE DAY-TIME.—Thos. Billings, a strange and reckless-looking fellow, well clad in good cord, and wearing a large silver ring upon one of his fingers, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with breaking into the dwelling-house and shop of Henry Jaques, boot and shoe maker, of No. 1, Grtn-lane, Limehouse, and stealing nine pairs of boots and two concertinas therefrom. The prisoner is a wall-known thief, and is strongly sus pected of having committed many burglaries and robberies in the neighbourhood of Limehouse On Tuesday morning last, between the hours of 11 and 12 o'clock, the prosecutor left his house and shop, and locked up the doors in the usual manner. He returned in about two hours, and dis covered that his house and shop had been forcibly broken into in his absence, and missed nine pairs of boots and two concertinas. The prisoner was seen by the prosecu tor loitering about his shop on the same morning, and he was standing opposite to it when Mr. James left home. Information was given to the police, and Abbott, a constable, 322 K, having received information that the prisoner had been offering boots for sale, took him into cus tody. On being made acquainted with the charge, the pri said, " Yes, I did take the boots. I was famishing and starving when I did it." Another police-constable, named Wall, 204 K, searched the prisoner's lodging, at 1, Night ingale-lane, Limehouse, and found a pair of boots covered with a board. Richard Clough, of 3, Brook. street, Ratcliffe, produced two pairs of boots he had purchased of the prisoner on Tuesday last. The three pairs of boots produced were identified by Mr. James as a portion of the stolen property. A former conviction against the prisoner, for felony, was proved, and it appeared that he was not in the famishing and starving condition he represented. Mr. Yardley committed the prisoner for trial. •.........i A LION ADVENTURE TY ALGERIA. I was roused by something, and felt a pain in my head, and directly afterwards I received a blow on the head through the side of the tent, which made me think for a moment that I had been . struck by an iron bar with claws at the end which I carried with me in my waggon ; but in an instant the idea flashed across my. mind that it was a lion which was sniffing at me through the back of the tent. If I remained where I was without moving there was-the probability of the beast tearing up the tent and dragging me through. On the other hand, an attempt to move closer to the fire would probably be detected, and the lion has the same character istics as the cat, and would doubtless have sprung upon me in that case, and have carried me off. While hesitating what to do, the animal, most likely from not being able any longer to feel any thing through the wallof the tent, must have turned away, ibr after what was, in fact, but a few mo ments, but which seemed a very long time, there was a terrific shriek, followed by a low, deep growl ing, then a shot and a louder growl. I felt about for my revolver, which I had placed beside my head before going to sleep, and creeping round the tent I saw the horrid beast standing perfectly still, with glaring eyes, and continuing the same low growling, and holding in his mouth the body of a man, which he occasionally lowered on the ground as if with the intention of taking a firmer hold, but never entirely letting go of it. I saw - by the direction of his look that he had caught sight of me, and so terrible were the associations connected with the beast in my mind that I dared not move or breathe for some seconds, when the thought suddenly occurred to me that it must be the body of Hamed that he held in his mouth. My liking for this man 'had become so strong that the desire to rescue or avenge him drove every feeling of fear out of my mind, and, with a steady aim, I fired at his body just behind the shoulder. Singularly enough, although I knew I had hit him, he-merely gave a loud growl and remained stationary, without relaxing his hold of the Arab's body. How long he would have re mained in this state of immobility I can't say, but I was just about to try the effezt of a second shot wlien a regular volley of guns was fired from out of the darkness ; the beast sprang forward towards me, almost at the same instant that I felt a sharp stinging sensation in the upper part of my arm, and fell to the ground so close to me that I stepped back to avoid a blow from his paws in his death struggles. They did not last long, and as soon as they were over I_ fetched a lighted brand f rom the fire, and, first holding it to 'the face of the dead man to see who it was, and feeling much relieved at finding it was not named, I waved it about as a signal for the others that th e y m i g ht come with safety. They soon came and clustered round the body of the dead lion, some kicking it, and others spitting on and reviling it, and all of them claiming the honour of having killed him, a claim that they seemed far more interested in de fending than in commiserating the fate of their dead companion. All the efforts we made to release the latter unfortunate from the jaws of the lion were unavailing without having recourse to our knives, and as there was not the least doubt of his being dead, for the teeth of the powerful brute were buried in his chest and back, we determined on leaving both bodies where they were until daylight. The first thing I did when I awoke was to look for the bodies of .the Arab and the lion. They Were lying where the beast had fallen in the niz,ht, and his stiffened jaws still held the body of the man as in a powerful vice: The desire of preserving a record of the event for my friends in England to look at was too strong to be resisted, so we set to work, cut three pieces of timber to a point; and, having raised the lion to an upright position, kept him up by means of the pieces of wood. To conceal these, I planted a shrub here. and there, which had the desired effect ; and the result I obtained was a negative, the like of which I believe never was seen. The attitude is as natural as possible, and makes one shudder to look at it.—Photographic News. THIS DAY'S SHIPPING. LONDON, April 30.—Wind this day at noon, E. ; fresh breeze, with rain.

THE MERCHANT SERVICE. --A report has been prevalent in influential circles at Liverpool that the sailors now in port are holding back from makins engagements in expectation of their services being required for the navy, in which case they would receive the bounty of £lO offered in the late proclamation. As some foundation for this statement, it may be observed that a batch of 23 seamen, belonging to a vessel now lying inthe Mersey, and outward bound for Now York, were brought up at the police court on Thursday, for refusing to proceed to sea. They gave no substantial reason for their conduct, and it was shown that there could be none. The magistrate remanded them ,for some inquiry to be made respecting their characters.
