The William Davey, from Sydney, has brought £25,000. Messrs. J. S. Morgan and Co. have issued the prospectus of the Spanish Governm nt Three per Cent. Loan. Subscriptions are invited fvr £8,000,000 nominal, part of a loan of 50 millions of dollars effective, in bonds of the consolidated debt. The price in London is 293, payabt 5 per cent on. application, 5 per cent. on allotment, an-I the remainder by three instalments, the last of which ib on the 2d August next. Interest dates from 31st December last, and, taking accrued interest and other advantages into consideration, the return to subscribers is estimated to be equal to 103 per c, nt. The particulars it is thought are favourable, espe cially as the interest is equal to 103 per cent. The usual discount is allowed for payments in advance, and every endeavour will be made to give vitality to the operation. At a meeting of the proprietors of the Chartered Bank of India, Australia, and China a dividend was declared at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum. The directors of the Australian Mortgage, Land, and Finance Company have issued their report. A dividend is recommended, for the half-year end ing the 31st December last, at the rate of 10 per cent. The directors of the 'Varna (Rustchuk) Railway have commenced negotiations with the"furki:4ll Government for the sale of the line. The capital of the company is R 900,000, in .15,000 shares of £2O each, which it is proposed to exchange for Turkish Five per Cents. The obligations or debentures are also to be provided for. The line would then be handed over to the South Austrian Railway Com pany, which lately obtained a concession for the whole of the intended system of Roumeliau rail ways. Alternative proposals have ben made to the Government, but it is considered that the plan above stated is the one most likely, with certain modifications, to be adoptel. The advices from Buenos Ayros by the present mail quote the Internal Argentine Bonds at 51f. The Manchester papers state that Mr. William Blarnires, spinner, of Bradford, has stopped pay meat. His liabilities are estimated at 112,000 or £ 1 55,000. Au extraordinary general meeting of the Don Pedro Company is convened for the 27th of May, to authorise the directors to pay an interim dividend. The Government of the Argentine Republic have ar raugLA for a national exhibition to be held in the City of Cordoba in 1870, and have invited the co operation of manufacturers of machinery in general, a nd especially of agricultural implements, &c.

At a meeting of creditors of Messrs. William Dickinson and Sons, cotton spinners, manufacturers, and machinists of Blackburn, the statement of affairs submitted showed liabilities of £73,604, of which about £40,000 is secured. The assets show 105 . 61 in the pound.

Account, May 6 n3; CORRESPONDEECE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) rAr,is, WEDNESDAY, April 21. The Corps L4gislatif is now at work upon the Ways and Means Budget, and is rushing along with the same feverish haste with which it disposed of the Budget of Expenses. All amendments are " not taken into consideration." The derails of yesterday's proceedings contain nothing really noticeable. M. Ma's Bizoin brought forward a formidable amendment, proposing to abolish the octrois in all the towns of France, each commune to have the pro duce within its own limits of the taxes on dogs, doers, and windows, licenses to trade and for shooting, and taxes on moveables. M. Glair-Bizoin went to work very hotly, characterising the octroi duties as a source of fraud, and demanding another Finance Minister and a Government which " better understood the interests of the country." But undoubtedly the worthy deputy did break down alto gether in one particular—he did not shew how the taxes which were to be handed over tJ the communes could be replaced in the Imperial Treasury. Yesterday the Emperor was 62 years of age, and a grand dinner was given at the Tuileries in honour of the occasion. His Majesty is rapidly advancing in life, and may well begin to be peacefully disposed and anxious to make all preparations for leaving a quiet inheritance to his son. Every year that passes over France in its present condition is of the greatest moment to the whole of Europe. But people here seem to be very little troubled with philosophic reflections on the rapid flight of time, the sullen, discon• tented humour of France, and the hesitation of the Em peror to satisfy the demands of his country. In fact, a great event took place on Monday evening, and has completely thrown the Emperor and his birthday jute the shade. The topic of the day is not the destinies of France, but a new style of head-dress. At the Em press's ball, given the night before last, a complete revolu tion was visible in the style of coiffure which has been worn for some time past by the leaders of the beau-monde. In place of the lofty arrange ment rising to a great height above the head, flog era and feathers were abandoned, and the hair worn without much ornament. The Empress, in accordance with the new mode, had merely two thick plaits wound round the bead, and held in place by four diamond pins ; and on the forehead a circlet of brilliants, in the centre of which beamed forth the famous " Regent." This is an important event indeed. The general conglomeration which has lately been heaped on the back of the head will come down with a run, and beauty unadorned will once more be adorned the most. The change is so striking that the Chinese Ambassadors will hardly be able to believe their eyes. The Figaro states that the Empress will go to Jeru- Belem by way of Tyro, Acre, and Nazareth. The Public says that her Majesty may go to open the Suet Canal in October, but nothing is known as to her intention of going further. At length the Due d'Aumale's " History of the House of Conde appears. For years the publication of this work has been kept back by the authorities, but public opinion has triumphed at last. The Due de Persigny thought to stop the book by seizing all the copies which had been printed. He now finds that his labour has been in vain. The ignorance and superstition prevalent amongst the rural population of France has once more been testified to by a case tried at Bordeaux. The marriage of a farmer's daughter, named Darriet, had been put off for some reason or other, and the anxious mother went to consult an oracle in the shape of a Spanish gypsy, named Soler. The oracle laid down a plan of action which, as usual, consisted solely in demanding different sums of money for charms. The woman Darriet was compelled to borrow right and left to satisfy the rapacity of Soler, until, being at the end of her resources, she disclosed the imposition to her husband, who had the prisoner arrested. Among the articles produced in court, and with which the prisoner pretended to work her miracles, were cards with caba listic figures, filters containing powder of cantharides, bones, pulverized glass, and a book of necromantic rub bish. Altogether she had received for her valuable services in charming the daughter's sweetheart into matrimony the sum of £56. It appears that the father of the eligible young man refused his consent, and his death by magical art was declared to be the only resource. The impostor was sentenced to fifteen months' imprisonment. Two marine velocipedes have lately been mancenvring in the old port of Marseilles. They progress with the speed of a boat rowed by two men. THE LOADON, CHATHAM, AIVD DOVER RAILIV AY COMPANY. The committee of the House of Commons, of which Mr. Dent is chairman, on Wednesday declared the preamble of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Bill to be proved. This bill, with the alterations made by the com mittee, relegates all questions in dispute between the company ar-d its creditors, and all agreements between the company and other companies, to the adjudication of Lord Cairns and Lord Salisbury. THE SOUTHAMPTON ELECTION PETITION. The flint of this petition « as resumed before Mr. Justice Willes yesterday morning. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine, in opening the petitioner's case, said ho should rely principally on the allegations of bribery and undue influence. The trial was really a battle b.tween Messrs. Moffatt and Hoare, and he was instructed to say that Mr. Moffatt was exceed ingly sorry tl.at the coaliti.m between Messrs. Gurney and 130111 . 0 rendered it necessary for him to couple Mr. Gurney's name with the inquiry. Tbo petitioners called as their first witnesses Henry Harrison and his son. Their evidence proved the employment as a messenger by the Conservatives of the boy first for three days, and then for a week at 3s. a day. George Sillence said be sent his son to the Liberal rooms, and as the Liberal party would not pay what they Lad agreed, he sent him to the Conservative morns. There he got 3s. a day for a fortnight. The judge said this man's vote would come off on a scrutiny. Several other witnesses gave evidence to a similar effect. In one instance the son of a commercial traveller got be..a day fin shout also woke. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING-, APRIL 22, 1869. JOINT-STOCK BANK S. Closiag titotleede Share i.us.

Captain Watson, the master and owner of the ill-fated vessel—a sloop, called the Nelly, of Belfast—sailed from Ayr for Belfast on Tuesday last week, and. on Friday his vessel foundered during a gale, a few miles from tl.e entrance to Belfast Lon,gh, his wife and four children going down with her, while a fifth, a boy, who was got into the small boat belcngirg to the sloop, died in a state of delirium, in the arras of his father, on the afternoon of the succeeding elry. When the father and son got into the Lent, it was fennel that they had no oars, and the fragile craft ('rifted all night at the mercy of the waves. A t daybreak, on Saturday morning, the poor lad began to sink, andthen became delirious. At the intervals of cessa tion from baling out the water, which was always more orless necessary, to keep the boat afloat, the father would take the boy in his arms and nestle him in his breast, in the hope of infush,g some heat into him, but again a wave would break and fill the tiny craft, and, in consequence, he had again to lay him down till he baled out a portion of the water. The poor boy continued in a state of deli rium till about two o'clock on Saturday, when death put an end to his sufferings. By this time the father was himself beceming very weak ; and he reports that be felt conscious of his own mind beginning to give way. He laid the body of the boy out in the bottom - of the beat, reluctant to commit it to the deep. During the day a Norwegian brig hove in sight, and took Watson on board. The poor fellow, besides losing his wife and family, has lost every shilling's worthof property which he possessed. When asked why he did not consign 11'6 body of his son to the sea after he died, Watson answered, with tears in his eyes, " The body of the boy was the last vestige of all that was dear to me in the world ; if I saved myself, I thought I would like to have the body of cne of my family laid beneaththc turf, sothat I might visit the spot again." CLEVER ISCAPE FROM ITIEON -~-- The Dundee papers give particulars of the clever escape from Dundee prison already noticed. The chief actors aro David Jet k'ns and Jan i i,t o, who were (tied :.t the last circuit coutt, :4111 senteocsd to 10 and 8 years' pet al scrvi teen respectively, the ono for assault and robbery, and the other for theft. About half-past 1 o'clock in the mottling, as the night watchman was 'coking around Lim ho observed that them was something wrong with a flower-pot near one of the walls of the emu t Luildings. Suspecting that all was not right an examination of the prison was made, and cell No.ll lc Luse Jenkins and Milton lad been confined, was found empty. Milton—who had twice attempted to comm't sui cide while Le had been confined in gaol, was kept handcuffed as a precaution against his being able to do anything to in jure himself, but Jenkins was allowed the free use cf his Lands. On an examination of the floor being made (the cell being next the grouu I) it was discovered that one of th e flip had been raised. This stone was of im nteuse size, being 5 feet by 2 , 1 feet, and three inches thick. This stone lay immediately above part of a tunnel which WS constructed some yea's age for the purpose of supp'.y ing the cuEs with fresh air, and from this tunnel the air was conducted to tier cells ly a series of branches. Tie incult of the tunnel was situated in the ccurtyard. The tunnel wss search: d, and in it was found a poker about three leer loins, at (1 its 1: ol:en nod twisted et rdit:on suffi ciently test ihed :t i lad he, n the inssrumt nu the 1,1 isoners had use das a EMI of lever to Lai e the stens.

To enable them to reach the ground in safety, tics rote aura h d to the flagstaff on the top of the wall L s d b en brought into requisition; but, as it had brokt n from the strain to .svhicit it was subjected by one or the other, it is evident that one cf the prisoners must have Leen in jured. The spot on 1, kelt the prisoners alighted was covered with small stones, and these were fount, alto - the csrai.e had been discovered, to be smeared with b'oed. Drops of blood were traced in a continuous stream along the whole length of Bell-street, ranmure 7 strect, Cowgete, King-strew, and a portion of Prince's-itreet. The poi or wilt which the prisoners Lad reisod the stone in the fluor of their c,ll belonged to the prison, and was used iu con nection with one of the stoves that stocd in the cora 'or. The hunlenffs which Milton wore were found with.n a pond t nclesure in Douglas-street, lying on a bank. The hauCeuffs I,cd Levu tilt d off Milton's wrists, and it is : up poed thst Ito or scene one else (.11 his behalf had thrown hem over the wall, intending to consign them to the ly,t nut et' the pot.el, tut they Lad alight( d on the Lank at the side of the pond instead. THE WAR IN NEW ZEALAND. ---t The accounts 01 the wr.r in New 7 :,land by the nat.: correspcialent are not so satisfactory as those received freni other sources. The rebellion still continues, and though confidence is expressed in its ultimate sup pression by the colonists, the waste of life and treasure and the hindrance to the progress of the colcny are severely felt. The capture of Ngatapa, indeed, has produced good effects on the cast coast, and there are hopes that confidence may shortly be restored in that part. It was reported that Te Kooti, for whose apprehension £l,OOO was offered, had died of his wounds ; but little credence is given to the rumour. It is thought more likely that he has succeeded in eluding his pursuers. On the west coast a success, though not a very brilliant one, has been achieved. The colonial forces, under the command of Colonel Whitmore, attacked Tito Kowaru in a pali at Nukumaru. The pah was shelled for twenty-fours hours, and at the first favour. able opportunity the walls were scaled. Great things were expected from this victory, but the hopes of the • con querors were speedily overthrown. Tlir same mortifying results attended the capture which have followed so Many New Zealand iriwnths, The pah was empty. Tito Kowaru and Lis followers had made their escape. The colonists generally were much disappointed at this news, but no blame is *attached to Colonel Whitmore, who has to contend against great difficulties in the want of disciplined troops. The men under his command are well qualified for good and efficient soldiers, but they have had very slight training, and their commander has no time to train them. The pah at Nukumaru, which occasioned so much disappointment, was, unlike that at Ngatapa, very strongly constructed, though occupying a weak position. The account of its construction affords evidence of the ingenuity of the Maories. It covered between one or two acres, with an outside palisading fifteen feet high, formed of the trunks of trees, so close as only to admit a rifle from the men in the ditch behind it. This ditch was deep and wide, and the rebels stationed in it could fire ,t the advancing troops with impunity. On its inner edge was a second 'palisading, and beyond it another ditch, with underground chambers capable of holding hundreds of men. These chambers communicated with each other by corrugated iron-covered ways of great strength. The iron, as may be supposed, had been part of the plunderof abandoned homesteads. Besides these hiding places, the defenders of the pah could fire at their assailants from two-storied erections at the angles. "No troops in the world," said Colonel Whitmore, " could have hewn their way through a double row of strong palisades, backed by rifle pits and flanked by two-story - erections, such as were constructed in this fortification, and defended by excellent shots and desperate men." The whole of the west coast rebels were massed in this pah, and it is therefore the more to be regretted that the old mistake of leaving one side of the position unoccupied by the assailants was repeated. A fern ridge at the back was left unguarded, and the troops were stationed on the other three sides of the pah. As has often happened before, the rebels made their escape at the rear, while the European forces were advancing in front. A pursuit was attempted, but in vain, and all trace of the rebels has been lost. The colonial troops are nominally in occupation of the famous Waitotara block which now presents in its blackened homesteads and desolate aspect a painful con trast to its former thriving condition.

Mr. TORRENS asked thu President of the Poor Law Board the question ho had given notice of respecting the laying the foundation stone of the Metropolitan Asy ut Caterham, and the sumptuous breakfast given on the occasion. Mr. GOSCHEN said his attention had been drawn to the ci!cuinstances doubtless through the satu3 channel its that by which the bun member htd received his, viz., the newspapers. With respect to the bun. gentleman's ia quiry as to whlthcr the samptn us entertitiant ut zitven on tee occasion would be p.tid out ut the mettupolitaa rata, or, as ho facetiously put it, th , civil contingencies, he could not say, but he had no doubt that if •it was charged to the metropolitan rate the auditor would at once disallow the charge. How it was to be paid he did not know; but he believed the contractors generally di.t charged similar charges, and he believed, though he did not know officially, that such was the course pursued on the occasion. At all events, the charge of the sumptuous breakfast would nut be paid for out of the county rate. ... t ~ CAPITAL PUNISHMENT. Mr. B 11110 1 ,:, in reply to Sir George Jenkinson, who asked a question us to whether he would state the grounitki upon winch ho had granted a respite of punishment to ilshiro who had been found guity of the wilful murder of a woman under the most atrocious circumstances, said since he had been in office, 11 cases of sentencas of (teeth had been submitted to him. He exercised the prerogative of mercy in tNo cases, and in cacti of which it was ceded 4, miscarriage of justice. Of the eleven cases in six the capital sentence had been carried out, two were prov,d be insane, and one innocent, which left the two cases of Nl'llonald and Wilshire. The former was r - prieved on Ilia recommendation of the judge (hear, hear)—and with respect to Wilshire, although it was proved that the woman had boon most cru.lly treated by the prisoner, yet there was a verdict that tI, death of the woman was not to bo imputed to the violence of Wihlire, but to intemperance and exposure to t.,e weather. He had taken the greatest precaution before the sentence was commuted, and he felt quite certain the whole of the facts of the case, when properly know , would pro TO his best justificAioa. (ileac, hear.) RANGOON AND OdINA. Mr. G. DUFF, iu reply to Colonel Grey, said nothin further with respect to the improvement of tLe commu nication between Raugoin'iantiChina, had occurred since the survey s was discontinued in the year 1867. IRISH CHURCH BILL. Mr. GLADSTONE, in reply to Sir F. Ileygate, said he did not think the Irish Church Bill would be the best place to introduce a clause enabling limited owners of lar d to borrow, and the Commissioners for Public Works to lend sums not exceeding a fixed per contage of the value of such land repayable upon the principal of the loans for drainage, farm buildings and labourers houses, for the purpose of assisting in the erection of churches, chapels, and places of worship. Ho thought it best to deal with the matter in a separate bill, and as soon as the contmit'.4 on the Irish Church Bill had been concluded a bill would be brought in to carry out such a proposal. The house then resumed the Committee on the bill pro moted by her Majesty's Government. Sir G. JENKINSON moved an amendment to provide for the case of a vacancy in a parish taking place 'within a few months of the passing of the act in parishes which had hitherto been well cared for, so as to provide for the parish not being left without any spiritual in structor. The college of Maynooth was the only permanent endowment which bad been wade by the til, but he hoped the First Lord of the Treasury would adopt the spirit of the amendment if he objected to the words to which he had expressed it. Mr. GLADSTONE denied that any plrmanent ment had been macro to the Col'ege .Alaynooth. lie could not accept the anieultmmt of ill, lion. b.trottet. op posite. bec.,use if be were t-i do so it would Le crea.iug a Tho aimed:Lent was &Nan . , pe:pe n.. tu r a i l l e i n t t i l i o e w n t i n n e o n v t i: i d u • nee..ttved without a „ e n " a r : e p n a , r i i :t t the Efect ti;. t whet() the 11,1,1.1 - of licardle,.s w'tich did Lot• at pt, sent I roduco • e ornaessioners ,hou'd, in ): e - event of his bet: g ,wcnty-kce 3, ars in thc Chnreli, g va hinrannuity to that rx out, as the j resent measure cut h . .a off from nll future preferment.
