The result of the transactions during the week since the date of the last return has been upon balance a withdrawal of £69,000. Telegrams from Paris announce that a Spanish loan for a net sum of ten millions sterling has been contracted with Messrs. Oppenheim, of Paris, and Messrs. Sulzbach, of Frankfort. Subscriptions for one-fourth of the amount will, it is said, be opened almost immediately in London and in all the prin cipal markets of the Continent, and the remaining three-fourths will be brought out at l a te r p er i o d s . T he operation has • the support of a large combina of the Paris bankers. The telegram from Madrid stating that "Senor rignerola, the Minister of Finance, proposes to unify the public debt by allowing the next half yearly interest due in June to accumulate and be added to the capital" seems incomprehensible. It Wo uld appear t o b e simply a declaration that the next half- y e arly interest will not b e p a id, an d i t would be difficult to conjecture what influence this default could have in 4; unifying" the public debt. All necessity, however, for speculation on the matter is apparently removed by the announcement of the new loan, which, it may be presumed, has for one of its immediate objects the payment of the dividend in question. At a meeting of the London Gaslight Company dividends upon all classes of preference shares and stocks were declared. At the annual meeting of shareholders of the Agra Bank (Limited) the report was adopted. The meeting of the creditors of Mr. John Cross ley, woolstapler and warp maker, of Halifax, whose liabilities are estimated at £38,000, has been adjourned to the 21st inst., to consider a pro posal made of a composition of Bs. in the pound. The failure is announced of Messrs. P. Kean and Co., fancy dress manufacturers, of Glasgow. The liabilities are stated to be inconsiderable. At an adjourned meeting of the creditors of Messrs. R. Watson and Co., spinners and manufac turers, of Church, Somersetshire, to consider au offer by the firm of a composition of ss. in the pound, the proposal was declined. Proceedings in bankruptcy will be continued. The report of the Demerara Railway Company has been issued. It states that there has been a net profit for the six months ending the 31st De cember last of £6,685 lls. ; and, after payment of the preference dividend, the customary dividend of 24 per cent, per annum on the original stock is re commended, leaving a balance of £993 9s. 9d. to be carried forward. At the meeting of the Credit Foncier of Mauri tius (Limited) the special resolutions passed on the 25th ult. were confirmed. The annual meeting of the proprietors of the Na tional Provincial Bank of England will be held on the 13th of May. With reference to the East and West Junction Railway Company notice is given that a petition Praying the confirmation of a scheme of arrange ment between the company and their creditors is to be heard before Vice-Chancellor James on the Ist of May.

On the arrival of the Judges at Westminster a large number of persons assembled to witness the ceremony of the Judges opening the respective courts. The applica tions made to their lordships to-day consisted of motions of no great importance. MADAME RACHEL AND HER BAIL, (THIS DAY.) To-day, the application to admit Madame Rachel to bail, came before the Judge at Chambers. It will be recollected that Mr Lewis, on the part of the prosecution, objected to one of the parties tendered, Mr. West, optician, of Coventry street, and au adjournment was directed in order that certain inquiries might be made. his Lordship, after hearing the parties, refused to ac cept the bail tendered. Thu result of the present applica.. tion will doubtless prevent an, further steps being taken to procure the release of Mdme. Rachel, who will thus remain at Nowgate until the result of the application for a writ of error is known. THE CASE OF SHE WARD. (THIS DAY.) At the close of the arguments last night the Attorney- General postponed giving his decision on the application for his flat fur a writ of error in this case until to-day. At one o'clock it was announced to Mr. Poland, who appeared last night for the prisoner, that the Attorney-General re fused to give his fiat. The result of which is that, with out other steps aro taken to obtain a remission of the sentence, Sheward will be executed on the day already fixed. Noitwicir, Thursday. —It is reported this morning, on good authority, that Sheward has made some statement since his conviction, the precise nature of which has not been divulged. Another anonymous letter has been re ceived by the magistrates' clerk. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. (Br TELEGRAPH.) P LYMOUTH, Thursday.

STATE OF 7RADE. MANCHESTER, April 1. lhe amount of business done to-day has been very moderate, neverthless prices remain extremely steady. I n di a shirt lugs and th e yarns of which they are composed are firm, a lth ough a buyers pay any advance on last we e k' s f u ll rates with great reluct ance. Although producers adhere very firmly to their quotations, and decline to make concessions, the market is without animation, and most of the transactions which have occurred have been only for small quantities. BLACKBURN, Wednesday.—Sellers of yarn re quired the full prices of yesterday, but the market was hardly so strong in tone, and only a small business has been transacted. In comparison with Wednesday last, the prices for coarse numbers may be quoted from id. to id. per lb. dearer, but in the finer counts there is little or no change in value. Foreign Mail Packet List.

By some means he obtained possession of a loaded six-chamber re volver, and taking refuge in the shop of his brother-in- law, a bookseller in t he Rue de Tournon, threatened to shoot anyone that approached him. All at once ho dashed out into the street, just as three sergeant de vile, who had been sent for, were approaching. One of them sprang boldly forward and threw his arms around the madman, who, however, in his struggle, managed to fire the six shots, wounding ono of the officers in the hand and his captor in the thigh. The latter, however, did not loose his hold, but with the assistance of his companions conveyed the pri soner to the station. THE SUN, LONDON, T.illifispAy EVENING, APRIL 1 . 5, 1869.

Major Ness, who rode his own horse, Patrick, was thrown while taking a fence; the horse fell on him, and another horse also fell. The major was taken up insensible with a cut on his temple, and it is feared serious internal injuries, as when brought to con sciousness, he expectorated blood. Another terrible acci dent was caused by a horse which had refused to take a water-jump bolting amongst a crowd, knocking some into the water, and it is feared fatally injuring a women, who had her skull fractured; at the hospital it was doublet whether she would live through the night. Two other women were also injured at the same time—one having the bones of her face broken. There were other minor accidents. • SHARE LIS7'.

He promises to give his unflinching support to the Government upon the Irish Church question ; to sup port a broad system of education ; Mr. Coler.idge's system for opening universities, and other Liberal measures. At a public meeting his lordship explained his views on the various questions of the day, which were considered satisfactory, and a resolution was adopted pledging the meeting to support Lord Hyde to the utmost of its power. The noble lord has since prosecuted an energetic and vigorous canvass of the constituency. Lord Claude John Hamilton, the former member for Londonderry, who has come forward in the Conservative interest, addressed a meeting of his party on Tuesday. He believed our institutions required reforming as education increased in the country, and the people became more enlightened. It was neces sary not to overthrow, but to improve our institutions according to the necessities of the times, and he was opposed to violent changes. Alluding to the Irish Church question, he charged Mr. Gladstone with break ing faith with the country for giving £360,000 to the Maynooth College, when he now said that more of the revenues of the Irish Church should be applied to other religions. lie avowed himself in favour of opening the universities to Dissenters, but thought, for the present, the governing body should be confined to Churchmen. He also stated he was op posed to the Ballot as un-English, and then proceeded to endeavour to shew that the Conservatives were the work ing man's friends by referring to measures affecting them which bad been introduced by the Conservatives, and opposed by the Liberals. Mr. Noel has given notice that he will move for the i new writ on Friday evening. The CHANCELLOR of t h N e E D x U a l ii ` lE E S Q:UEII said it was intended to collect the oin duties until the 4th June. after which, if the house sanctioned c the proposals ho had sub mitted to it, it would altogether He could not altor the answer ho had given the cease. other day, that it was pro posed to allow anydrawback. - -- C9AL MINES.

WRECK.--The schooner Remedy, Bonebar mas ter, from Cardiff, ran ashore near Mullion, coast of Corn wall, on Monday. Crew saved. Yesterday the 2d battalion, 7th Fusiliers, under the command of Col. Cooper, arrivid at Aldershot from Bury and Ashton. Colonel Farren, C. 8., late 4th depot battalion has assumed the command of the Eastern district vice Major-Gen. Tidy. Lieut. Birch, second batta. lion 20th, is under orders to proceed from the depot to the service companies in charge of a draught of the corps. A good-conduct medal and 110 have been pre sented to Sergeant-Major George Ray, 4th depot battalion. Her Majesty's unarmoured paddlewheel sloop Basilisk, 6, 400-horse power (nominal), Capt. Win. N. W. Hewett, V.C., was yesterday paid off in the steam basin, Chatham, into the fourth division of the Steam Reserve in the Medway, under the super intendence of Capt. the Hon. A. A. Cochrane, C. 8., superintending the dockyard and Steam Reserve. David Williams, boatswain's mate, and Joseph Hammond, ship's cook, were awarded by the Admi ralty each a silver medal, with gratuity, for long service and conduct. During the time the Basilisk was in commission—a period of three years and seven months—she was attached to the China squadron, and was employed in cruising in the China seas and adjoining waters. Most of the officers, including Capt. Hewett, who left England in the Basilisk, return with her. By order of the Admiralty she has been completely stripped, and most of her internal fitments and bulkheads re moved, as it is not intended to again place her in commission, but either to break her up or sell her out of the Royal Navy. On being paid off yester day the continuous service men among the crew were granted the usual period of absence for their run ashore. 71-IPI IRISH CHURCH CONFERENCE. The conference of the archbishops, bishops, clergy, and !fifty of the " Irish branch of the United Church of England and Ireland " was held on Tuesday, in the Antient Concert Rooms, Great Brunswick-street, Dublin. The same " No-Surrender " cry was raised which haa been so continually shouted out any time these eighteen months past. The Archbishop of ARMAGH struck the key note. His Grace told the meeting to be moderate in their language and actions, and then, as reported in the Mai; went on to say, "One thing the meeting must understand, and that was that the conference had no reference in the remotest degree to Mr. Gladstone's Church body. They studiously avoided giving it the slightest countenance. This was an assembly met together for the simple purpose of considering the bill, and protesting against its injustice. That done, they should dissolve, and leave no nucleus for the purpose of aiding in the Min isterial idea. They were not met there for the purpose of considering any compromise. They threw out no sugges tion on the subject—they protested against it. They looked upon it as confiscation —as assailing the prerogative of the Crown—as unjustly dealing with the property of the subject ; and for, he believed, the first time in the history of the country, destroying that which was the best of all titles—prescription. He recollected a magnificent and apposite illustration of Mr. Plunket's. In some cases where the title was defective he pleaded pre scription, and his words were to the effect that Time was armed with an hour-glass as well as with a scythe—with a scythe he mowed down the muniments of their pro perty, but with the hour-glass he gave stability to their title. Mr. Gladstone's bill prevented them from using the hour-glass, and treated them to the severity of the scythe." This was received, we are told, with tremendous applause. The following notice for the information of the workmen connected Ni ith Chatham dockyard, who are about proceeding to Canada, at the expense of the Government, was yesterday posted at the dockyard gates The dockyard artisans who •accept the offer of passage in her Majesty's troop ships proceeding to Canada must distinctly under stand that on their arrival at Quebec they will be exactly in the same position as ordinary emi grants, and that the Government is not in any way responsible for providing them with employment. There is, however, a large demand for labour by private employers, but for their own sakes the emi grants should not refuse any reasonable offer on their first arrival. The following candidates are to be The Archbishop of DUBLIN said very little, but the Earl Of LONGFORD followed the suit of the Lord Primate. There had been no approach to a compromise, the noble earl declared. One side maintained that by the violation of oaths, promises, and sacred engagements, by tearing up Acts of i Parliameut and crushing religious action, a new era of peace could be inaugurated; but the other side persistently refused their assent to this arrangement. When it was said that the Government was induced to bring forward this contemplated change in the Church of Ireland as tending to the mutual improvement of all classes, their rejoinder should be—We do not surrender ;we do not accept your inevitable ; we protest against your bill ; we reject your proposal for the dissolution of the union of the Church of England and Ireland ; we object to your bill for its insulting title —to put an end to the Establishment of the Church of Ireland ; we object to your sham compensation ; we believe that if your bill should pass Church and State, property, and all social and political interests would suffer. Our case is that our Church has been legally established, loyally maintained in connection with the State, acknowledging the supremacy of the Crown, served by faithful ministers and with no excessive endowments, those which it has being, moreover, its own property, which ought not to be touched by the State. included for emigration :-1.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. NEW P. Lord LAWRENCE took the oath aid his seat on being created a per. The noble lord was introduced by the Duke of Argyll and Lord Chelmsford. ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS. The Earl SIfAFTESBURY moved the se-ond reading of this bill, the object of which was to cheapen and ex pedite the mode of procedure in the Ecclesiastical Court. [LEFT SFEARING. HOUSE OF COMNIONS.—This EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. THE IRISH CHURCH FUNDS. Mr. WHALLEY gave notice of his intention to move that any surplus that might remain of the revenue of the Irish. Church after compensation had been made should be ap plied to the reduction of the national debt. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) The Marquis of HA.RTINGTON said it Was the desire to protect as far as possible the health of the persons en gaged in the transmission of mails, and with that vi.-w it was about to try the experiment of sorting the mails be tween Plymouth and Bristol instead of as was now done at sea. lie did not say that the arrangement fur sorting the letters was completed. RESTORATION OF COMPOUNDING. Mr. GOSOHEN, in reply to Lord Henley, said it was the intention of the Government to proceed with the Assessment Bill, but he might say that it was his inten tion to move the introduction of clauses to enable the owners of small properties to make arrangements for the payment of the rates levied thereon. He would lay upon the table the clauses he proposed to introduce as soon as possible; care would also have to be taken that the rights conferred by the Reform Act of last session were not interfered with. (Hear, hear.) 'WOOLWICH 'DOCKYARD. Mr. CHILDERS informed — the house, in reply to a question from Mr. Mills, that Mr. Barnes was not entitled to a pension for his 25 years' duties as Admiralty pilot, as he had received full pilotage, which was considered quite sufficient for the services rendered. No eligible offer had yet been made for the premises at Woolwich, and at the present moment he could nut say what would be done with it. BAT EIING—BATTERSEA PARK. Mr. LAYARD, in reply to Mr. Peek, said it would be inconvenient to allow persons to bathe in the concreted water in Battersea-park until a bathing house was erected. The water was very shallow, and he doubted whether, if the use of the water was allowed, the bathers would de rive any great b ene fit f rom the privilege. LANDLORDS' TAXES. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in reply to Mr. Greville, said tenants called upon in January next to pay their landlords' assessed taxes would be entitled to deduct them from the rent dile in March.
