There were no gold operations at the Bank yes terday. On the 29th of January a prospectus was suc cessfully issued of the British Indian Submarine Telegraph Company, with a capital of £1,200,000, for a line from Suez to Bombay, to be manufactured by the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company, and laid duwn by the Great Eastern steamer. Yesterday another prospectus made its appearance, for the Direct English, Indian, and Australian Submarine Telegraph Company, with a capital of £2,500,000, in shares of £5, This com pany also proposes to connect Suez and Bombay, the difference between its programme and that of the British Indian consisting in the lino to be established between England and Suez (via Gibraltar land Malta), on the one side, and the contemplated ultimate extension from Bombay to Australia on the other. Each company has a solid a nd influential board of directors, but the public can hardly fail to be perplexed by the extent to Which the projects are identical, and consequently of a directly4competitine character. Without some e xplanation the rivalry will appear to be wasteful and useless, especially as each company might, it may be assumed, find ample scope for exertion and profit by a division of fhe entire route from Eng land to Australia, instead of, as seems to be pro- Posed, in laying down the double line between Suez and India, and leaving the Australian communica tion for completion at some date. The subscription for the £369,200 Six per Cent. Bonds of the United Canal and Railroad Cam- Panics of New Jersey, offered by Messrs. J. S. Alorgan and Co., at the price of 86, has been complected, and they are now quoted at 1 to 1 premium. The guaranteed 4 per cent. loan of £135,000 for the European Commission of the Danube, in troduced by Messrs. Bischoffshein awl Gold schrnidt, is almost analogous to the guaranteed Turkish 4 per cent. loan, which now stands at 1021. One cause of the recent fall in Great Eastern stock is stated to consist in the fact that the corn pang have iutrolueel a bill applying for power to create a further £1,500,000 for their Metropo litan Extension, and setting forth that the new terminus in Broad-street, will alone cost £1,000,000. The return for the week of the traffic of the Great Western of Canach shows an increase of £2,500. The half-yearly meeting of the Grand Trunk Railway Company of Canada is convened for the Bth of April, « for the purpose of receiving a report from the directors, and for the transaction of the Other business of the company."

Tyrrell and Hig gins, for Buckingham Palace. The royal party arrived in London at 12.8. The Lord-Advocate is to be entertained at St. James's Hall on the 10th of April by his constituents resi dent in London and his political friends and supporters generally. The Duke of Argyll has engaged to preside. Mr. Holman Hunt has been elected to the Society of Painters in Water-Colours. That Association waived, in favour of this distinguished artist, the usual course of electing members, and received him at once. Letters from St. Petersburg state that Madame Patti's success has surpassed all expectation. Signor Mario has been disabled by illness from singing much. It was but the other day we regretted the unac countable absence from its columns of the American cor respondent of the Standard. We do not know whether up to the last Mr. L. Alvin Hunt, late night editor of the World, continued to furnish it, but we fear that his silence is accounted for by an illness so serious as to have ended in his death, which occurred on the 21th Feb., at Unaoilla, Otsego county. Mr. Hunt was born in Jefferson county, N.Y., and was 28 years old. He was originally a com positor, and commenced an editorial career on the Argus of New York. When the World and Argus were consolidated Mr. Hunt accepted a position on the new journal, and rose very rapidly. H e was a brilliant writer. .After fill ing the night edit or ' s pos iti on f ou r years, he resigned on account of ill health. For many years he was the New York correspond en t o f th e L on don Morning Herald and the Standard.—The Rev. John F. Hickey, the old in est Ro man Catholic p r i es t i n t h e U n it e d States, diedßalti more, on the 25th February. He was born in 1788, and entered the priesthood in 1814. He was a brother of the late Colonel William Hickey Secretary, for many years, of the United States Senate.' A surviving brother, James D. Hickey, still res id es at E rnm i tts b ur , s . One of his sisters was married to the late John C. Fitzpatrick, .of Washington. Another (Sister Mary) is a Sister of Charity in New York. The scene at the death-bed of the loved and venerable priest is represented to have been of the most affecting character. The Hon. Murray M'Counell was murdered in his office at Jacksonville, Illinois, at ten o'clock on the morning of the ttth Feb. In his usual health he was about to leave for Springfield, and had been but a moment before at his front gate observing Tom Thumb's chariot and ponies. His wife and a servant girl were in another part of the house, when, hearing a noise as of the slamming of a door, they wont to ascertain the cause, and found him lying on his face on the floor. His skull was fearfully fractured, but no trace of the in strument by which it was done was found. His son, Major M.‘Connell, hastened to the house, and found him bleeding at the nose and eyes, and quits unconscious, in which state he expired. His person had not been robbed, but a note lately dne, and known to be unpaid, was missing. As its payor, M r . A. R o bi nson, h a d ca ll e d that morning, a warrant was issued for his arrest, and the coroner's jdry found him guilty of the murder. The de ceased, who was a successful lawyer, was 72 years of ago. He was a participant in the Black Hawk war, and shortly after was elected Representative in the Legislature. From 1864 to 1868 be was a member of the Senate of Illinois. Under Buchanan he held the office of Fifth Auditor of the Treasury. Probably Gen. M'Connell was better acquainted with the early history of Illinois than any man who suc ceeded him having entered the State as early as 1815. It is much to be regretted that he has not prepared a book on the early settlement of the West, which he bad been re quested to do. He had amassed a fortune approac hi ng a million of dollars, aside from his claim s to $4,000,000 worth of property in. Chicago. . The remains of John Wilkes Booth were con veyed as secretly as possible to Baltimore, w h ere they arrived on the 16th Feb., in a plain pine box, two Govern ment blankets, which were cut to pieces for souvenirs, being wrapped about the person. The original box , which was much decayed, having been rotted by damp ness, was exchanged for a plain coffin, and thi s f or a f i ne metallic coffin. There was but little of the remains left, the flesh having all disappeared, leaving nought but mass of blackened bones. Upon one foot was an old army shoe, and upon the other a boot cut open upon th e t op. This covered the left foot, the leg having been broken in his leap from the stage-box of the theatre after he had assassinated President Lincoln. The remsinder of his dress consisted of a rough brown coat, black pants and vest, all of which were rotten and decayed. The hair all remained. During the afternoon hundreds of people visited the place, and some were allowed to view the remains. Mrs. B oot h , and her sons Edwin Booth and Junius Brutus booth, ar rived on the 17th February, when the body was to be de posited in a vault at the Government Cemetery, and in a few days after secretly interred, in the presence of the fa mily, at Baltimore Cemetery, beside the remains of Junius Brutus Booth, the senior. During the time that Booth's re mains were disinterred at the arsenal those of Atzerodt were also taken up, placed in a handsome coffin, and in terred at Glenwood Cemetery, north of Washington. Ha rold's body was also dug up, but Payne's had not as yet been removed. The Convention of the American Social Science Association met at Albany, and interesting addresses were given by the Hon. J. S. Gould, G. F. Brace, Horace Gree ley, Charles F. Adams, and others. The Hudson River is now open to West Point. It is proposed to bring the remains of William Penn to America, from their resting-place in England. cede hallways. et Bristol and Exeter ...... 100 77 79 et Caledonian ... 100 771 771 771 1 BL Ca m oriari 20 Cornwall all 21 31 ,t.

The prisoners said they were roughly treated by the police, and called witnesses on their behalf, who said that there was a disturbance pt the club, and that some of the members were ejected by the "M. C." Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the witness what he meant by the " M. C." The witness said that it was the master of the cere monies (laughter)—and that the police used " brutal violence" towards the prisoners. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he did not believe the witness, the prisoners having no appearance of having been roughly handled whatever. After hearing the evidence, ➢fr. Tyrwhitt fined Atkin son 10s., and the others 40s. each. ENDANGERING LIFE IN THE STREETS. —Robert Birch, A cab driver, badge 13,514, was charged before Mr. Tyr whitt with furious driving in Old Compton-street, Soho. From the evidence of Alfred Cording, 41 C.ll, it ap peared that he saw the prisoner in Old Compton -street driving a cab at a furious rate—the horse galloping as hard as it could, and there being a fare inside the cab at the time. Mr. Sayer, of the office of Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, the fare in the prisoner's cab, said that he was very much frightened on the occasion, and that the prisoner whipped his horse while it was galloping. Cording said that when he asked the prisoner why he was driving at such a rate, he said that the horse was a blind, old thing, and that he was obliged either to walk or gallop it. Mr. Tyrwhitt would not revoke the prisoner's license this time, although he deserved to have it done, but fine him 40s. or a month. WESTMINSTER. SYSTEMATIC PLUNDER OF A MASTER.—Robort Wellsby, barman, and Harriett Small were charged, the former with stealing three bottles of brandy, rum, and gin, the goods of George Edmonds, his master, and the latter in receiving them, well knowing them to have boen stolen. Prosecutor keeps the " Stanley Arms" in Westmorland street, Pimlico, and prisoner had been in her service ten days as barman; the takings fell short, and prose cutor missed money and stock. A. plain clothes con stable, named O'Brien, 50 B, went into the houso at seven o'clock this morning and saw the female enter. She gave the man three empty bottles, and he gave her three in return full of spirits, and something else; the spirits, with some dirty clothes, were put into a hag and taken away by the woman, who was followed to the sta tion-house door and then taken into custody. The male prisoner pleaded guilty, and endeavoured to absolve the woman from blame, to this the prosecutor added a recommendation to mercy. Mr. Selfe said he could not settle the matter, and com mitted them both for trial, stating that he would take good bail in £2O for her appearance at the sessions. 7HE SURRENDER OF GIBRALTAR. One independency we have given up within recent remembrance. A goodly cluster of islands, it con sisted of :—Cephaiouia, Zante, St. Alaura, Corfu, Ithaca, Cerigo, what nut ; we handed them all over for absorption into Greece. Gibraltar is sorely wanted, just now, to be done the like with by the Spanish—which is ?—Monarehial or Republican Government. Suppose we meekly do by that to-day as we did by the lonian Islands yesterday ? Suppose we spike our guns—sneak across to Ceuta—and abandon for once and for all that grand old trophy won by our arms, our gold, and our blood ; that grim guardian of our road to India ; that one rocky Pillar of Hercules, from the height of which our garrison, like warders on the keep, have held watch for 100 years at the entrance of the Mediterranean. Supposing we do all this, in the name of honesty let us go a step or two further. Let us at least be consistent. Let us deal with one after another of our various colonial possessions precisely in like manner. The arguments applicable to the lonian Islands, the arguments said to be applicable now to the hitherto thought -to-be impregnable rock of Gibraltar, are applicable equally to all the rest of our dominions. There was professor Goldwin Smith only a few years.ago outraging all our feelings of patriotism, all the most cherished among our na tional susceptibilities, proposing that, in plain terms, England—this " dear, dear England" of Shakapere, not of Smith—should cave in at once without any more ado, should strip herself of all her world-wide territories, should take the sacred fasces and de liberately unbind them, to the end of, first of all, distributing the rods of empire, and after wards, we may presume, submitting herself allegorically to decapitation by the axe. If we are going to give up Gibraltar, why not recall at once this wretched Professor Smith and install him permanently in Downing-street as our Disintegrating Minister or Lord Paramount ? Against the advent of the Smithian Era, we possess happily at this moment, however, one—if only for that reason—most acceptable guarantee. We have installed here already at the Colonial-office at that mystical centre of the vast and compli cated network of our colonial system--a Minister, who, like the majority of his illustrious predecessors in that most distinguished and responsible office, o cherishes, the Crown ro wenand believe,the very honourd earlyo fthe at y, and eoun heartt country, glorye i s himself in his very heart of hearts a thorough, downright Englishman.—The Gladstone Govern ment, by a Templar.

The literary societies of Germany were requested to join the movement, and the follow ing address has been dra wn u p , to which that of Dresden and the Concordia (account Venna have given their assent : —"Mr. President, —On of the close in ternal connection of all contemporary culture, the whole civilized world greets the 4th of March, 1869, on which you will enter on your office of President, as a festival. Tlim victory of humanity is the pride of our century. The repre,:entatives of the published opinion of Europe appeal to you, the renowned man, with the hope and confidence that a new act of glory is in store for you by your laying a bill for the protection of the intellectual property of all nations before the high Congress at Wash ington. The country of Benjamin Franklin will no longer ye ar the from granting mental labour its due. This the whole civilized world will celebrate the hundredth anniversary of the birth of Alexander von Humboldt who es tablished the science of the universe, and whose wir quiring spirit found a home in the new as well as in the old world. The protection of intellectual labour in the whole civilized world would br a lofty monument to the Humboldt jubilee and one more enduring than brass. We greet you in the spirit of peace and faithful work ipr the tra.teruizatiP4 rankilaci." IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS.—Tars EVENING. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. Bruco's Restitution Bill was read a third time and passed. CHINESE MISSIONARIES. The Duke of SOMERSET called attention to the papers recently presented with respect to the missionaries in. China. He asked what right had we to send inland mis sionaries into China, and then to use the fleet to pro— tect them when they meet with the treatment which they would only have rret with after they had preached obnoxious and unpopular doctrines in Birmingham under parallel circumstances. He strongly condemned th ) whole syste►n pursued ia China as nothing else than promoting Christianity by nzt•ans of gun; oats. The 1.:(1-1 of CLARENDON said the question was one of growing interest, and in order to prevent a recurrence in.-tructi‘nis had been sent out to the Cont.-4zls and the (di cers of th, ships of war to withdraw all iersous in dan g,•r rather than zuake reprisals. (LEFT SITTING. lIOUSE OF COMMONS—Trtis EVENING. The SPEAKER t:),)ii th. elia:r at 4 n'clock. THE IRISH SOCIETY. MAGUJEE gave notice tlibt on the Gth of April he shou:.l ainongst vtLter things the abolition of the liish Society. Mr. DILLWYN gave notica that on that day week he should niovo for a return of a!I persons convicted within the inc:ropolitan pol.ee district of using false weights and measures, with the sentences inflicted. GIBRALTAR. Mr MO SELL, in repiy to Mr. Ifibbert, said that van. ous matters were in procass in order to improve the condi tion of the convict prison at Gibraltar, and also to supply better water for the garrison as well as the prison. THE FENIAN CONVICT MACKEY. Mr. C. FORT ESCUE said the list of crimes commit witted by the convict Mackey, as well as the other assump tions, were in the main all eorrect with but one exception, and that was that the convict had been discharged. (Loud laughter.) There never had been the slightest intention of granting a plrdon ti Mackey, and the name of that person would not be found amongst those mentioned in the return. NOMINATION DAY. Mr. BRUCE, in reply to Mr. Willyams, said one of the duties of the select committee on the method of conducting Parliamentary and municipal elections, would be the con sideration of the propriety of abolishing nomination day at Parliamentary elections. THE AAIEEIt OF AFFGUANISTAN. in reply to Mr. B. DENISON, Mr. GRANT-DUFF said the late Governor-General had authorised the payment of six lacs of rupees to the Arnoer of Affg-hanistan, and had also authorised the pay, ment of six other lacs, which doubtless 4y that time was in the treasury of the Ameer, and also a quantity of arms. No condition was attached to the gift, which was given as a pledge of goodwill. To call it a subsidy was by no means aorrect. ENDOWED SCHOOLS BILL. In reply to Mr. HARDY, Mr. FOSTER sAid it was the intention of the Govern— ment to proceed with the E❑dowed Sdhools Bill on Mon• day next. THE EASTER HODIDAYS. Mr. GLA.DSTONE announced that on — Tuesday, the 23d, ho shuuld move that the house, at its rising, Shouil adjourn until the Thursday in tho following week. REAL PROPERTY. Mr. LOCKE KING moved for leave to bring in a bill for the better settling of the real estates of intestates. At present the real property of persons dying without a will passed to the eldest son, and the object of the bill was to effect an alteration in the law on that point, to the effect that the property instead of passing to the one child should be divided equally amongst the whole of the children then living. He quoted many cases where the disobedient eldest son had succeedel to the propertyagainst the known intention of the testator, who had died without making a will, and thus the younger children had been rendered entirely destitute. It was not his desire to introduce the French law on the subject into England, because he altogether disapproved of their mea sure. Mr. B. HOPE objected to the bill, and stated he should state his reason% more fully when the motion for the second reading was under consideration. After a shtirt discussion, in which Mr. Stapleton, Mr. Goldney, Mr. Hadfield, Mr. Walter, and Mr. Gladstone took part, leave was given to bring in the bill. [LEFT SITTING. I HOUSE OF COMMONS.—LAST EVEN/NG. THE TORNADO. Mr. OTWAY, in reply to Mr. Bentinck, said the Tor. nado had been condemned as a good prize, but the claim ants of the vessel had the right of appeal. The proper steps had boon taken for the hearing of that appeal, but no further information was yet in possession of the Govern ment. There would be no objection to the production of papers on the subject. THE CHURCH OF IRELAND. )1l.•. GLADSTONE, at the request of Sir S. North cote, said the value of the property of the Church in Ire land was a m•ttter of opinion, and it must be taken ac cordingly. The total ustinrited value, as he had stated, in round Lumbers, Wai THE FINANCIAL LORD OF THE TREASURY. Mr. SCLATER-BOOTIL on the motion for the hone* going into Committee on the Navy Estimates, called the attention of the house to the appointment of a financial Lord of the Treasury, who was, as the hon. gentleman who had received the appointment told his constituency, the War Lord of the Treasury—(laughter) —the duties being to supervise the whole of the expenses of the War Department. De should like to hear what was the real intention of the Government in making the alteration. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the duties that wore to b 3 discharged by the Third Lord (1 the Treasury wore to look after the finances, the Secretary to the Treasury having to superintend the expenditure. He thought the greatest good would result from the ar rangement to the public service, but he could assure the house that it was with no idea of the Third Lord doing the work of the First Lord. With regard to the sentiments that the hon. gentleman the member for Truro had ad dressed to his constituents he thought they had better nut undertake the explanation of speeches made during the excitement of a political election. The appointment had been made with a view to the public a lvantage, and he anticipated the future advantages would arise from the appointment with a view of carrying out that which the Government stood pledged to, viz., economy and retrenchment. Whether right or wrong, the appointment had been made with a view of benefiting the public service. Mr. HUNT said he must confess that after the ex. planation of the Chancellor of the Exchequer he was very little wiser than he was before as to the duties of the " Third" Lord. The house then wort into committee of supply, andllr. CHILDERS brought on the Navy Estimates. The other orders having been disposed of, the house adjourned. COURSE OF EXCHANGE.
