The steamer Delta takes out to day £148,228 in specie for the East. Subjoined are the particulars :—For Galle, gold, £5,000 ; Madras, gold, £993 ; Calcutta, silver, £15,400 ; Hong Kong, silver, £24,635 ; Shanghai silver, £7,500 ; and for Bombay, gold, £14,500, and silver, £80,200. According to reports from Paris, the proposed Turkish loan, of whose amount and object so many surmises have been hazarded, is to be in creased from £5,000,000, the total originally con templated, to £8,000,000, of which some English firms will take half, the Societe Generale and other French institutions subscribing the remainder. The report of the London Financial Association, to be presented on the Ist of February, states that the liabilities have now been reduced to £242,000, while the nominal assets, locked up in debentures, shares, and Lloyd's bonds of English, Welsh, Irish, and other railways, amount to £1,439,803, many of which are of an improving character, such as to warrant au expectation of considerable ultimate realisations. The requisitions made upon the shareholders have been well met, so that out of the £1,200,000 of capital called up only £16,500 is at present unpaid, and the directors have thus been enabled to avoid sacrificing properties which require time for their development. In the existing position of the company it is hoped it will be found practic able at the next half-yearly meeting to reduce the nominal amount of the shares, which at present stand at £5O, with £3O paid. An extraordinary meeting of the Millwall Free hold Land and Docks Company is called for the Bth of February, " for the purpose of considering, and, if approved, of sealing a deed of arrangement between the Canal Company, of the first part, John Kelk, and John Aird, and John Aird the younger, of the second part, and the Credit Foncier of England (Limited), of the third part." The half-yearly meeting of the company will also be held on the same day, for the purpose of receiving the directors' reprt and statement of accounts. The report of the Euglish, Scottish, and Austra lian Chartered Bank recommends a dividend at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum. The report of the Provincial Banking Corporation (Limited) recommends a divider I at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum. The half-yearly meeting of the North Stafford shire Railway Company is convened for the 12th February, at the City Teraiinui 1 - 1 itel. A. special meeting of the Australian Agricultural Company is called for the 9th February, to ree..ive " a report on the affairs of the company." The half-yearly meeting of the South Eastern Railway Company will be held on the 25th of February. It was represented that the new bill filed in Chancery ag dust the Metropolitan Railway was by Salisbury, " on behalf of himself, a large bolder of the deferred shares, and other share holders," but it is now alleged that he holds only 200 new ordinary £5 stock, on which there is but £3 paid, representing a total value of £6OO, and that in the bill there are no other plaintiffs named. The weekly return, under the Cotton Statistics' Act, states that the quantity of cotton imported in the week ending the 21st instant, was 73,449 bales --of which 25,531 were American, 8,667 Brazi lian, 30,583 East Indian, 7,439 Egyptian, and 1,229 miscellaneous. The total export was 21,566 bales, of which 3,009 were American, and 16,910 East Indian. BRITISH FUNDS—T W 0 O'CLOCK. GOVERNMENT FUND°. 6 per Cent. Consols Ditto for Account, $ per Cent.

Henderson, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday after noon from the Mauritius, and other foreign ports, calling in at Plymouth Sound on Saturday, with the following officers and troops on board :—Lieut. Kelsall, 21 battalion 11th Infantry, in military charge of troops; Staff-Surg. Major Thornton, in medical charge ; 171 time expired and invalided soldiers from various corps, accompanied by 21 women and 37 children, and 23 invalided seamen and marines. The other officers and passengers comprise :—Capt. Coates, 99th Infantry ; Lieut. Eccles, 9th; Lieut. Goldsmith and Asst-Surg. Creed, 20th; Dr. Cushman, Mr. Parker, Dr. Beddoes, R.N.; Sub-Lieuts. Taylor and Lloyd, R.N., from West Afri can squadron ; Mrs. Kelsall and two children, Mrs. Thornton and three children, Mrs. Cashman and one child, Mrs. Ravenhill, Mrs. Quinn, and Mrs. Mitchell. The Urgent has been engaged on a six month's round of troop relief service, and sailed from the Mauritius on her homeward voyage on the 15th of November with the 321 Regiment on board, which she landed at Port London on the 2d of December ; she afterwards called in at Table Bay on the 6th of December, at St. Helena on the 17th, and Ascension on the 24th ; St. Vincent was reached on the sth inst., whence the Urgent pro ceeded to Gibraltar, and finally sailed thence for England on the 18th inst. The troops will be dis embarked this morning. The screw steam corvette Juno, 6, Capt. Wm. A. B. Pearse, left Plymouth Sound on Friday night for China. The Lords of the Admiralty appear determined to follov‘ up the recent circular minute on the sub ject of the bankruptcy of Government clerks and other officials recently issued by the Lords of the Treasury, an order having bee❑ received at Chat ham Dockyard directing the susi.ension, prepara- tory to his probable dismissal, of one of the esta blished clerks in the storekeeper's department at that establishment, who has recently become insol- vent. Among the other alterations with the view to the economy of lab3ur now being carried out at Cbat ham Dockyard, the Lords of the Admiralty have ordere. 1 copying-presses to be introduced for the first time for use at that establishment. Consequent on this arrangement, the officials at Chatham have been called on to report as to th=3 number of clerks and writers whose services can be dispensed with, and also whether writers may not be advantageously substituted for clerks.

The remains were found lying in a strata of auriferous gravel with about fourteen feet of alluvial soil over them ; but the most remarkable feature in this discovery was that of several stone mortars and pestles, unmistakably the work of human hands, found in the same strata, and in close proximity to the remains of the mastodon, evidently proving that a race of human beings inhabited the mountains of Cali fornia, coexistent with the mastodon. Mr. Dane has seve ral of these stone mortars and pestles, together with some of the grinders of the huge animal, now in his possession. , We learn from the Journal Officiel that the Emperor of the French " has just purchased at Orleans the estate Lamotte-Sanguin, in order to found there an asylum for convalescent workmen. The property, situate within sight of the Loire, out of reach of the inundations, on a superficies of more than 13,000 square metres, unites all the conditions of extent, salubrity, and elevation desir able for such an institution. The Imperial munificence, in endowing the said city with this valuable complement of public assistance, in which it was deficient, will be a benefit to all the working class of the towns and rural districts of the Loiret, the sick of which aro received from all parts in the hospitals of Orleans. The Hotel-Dieu there alone receives more than 2,000 patients, who, ou leaving, will thus find an asylum to await the complete return of their strength." Assistance, nourishment, good air, and freedom from sor did care on recovering from an attack of sickness, has often accelerated a retur❑ to health, and the power to help and support others. We wish this institution every sue- C2SS, and that the example may be imitated. The report of the Fire Marshal of Chicago for the year just closed shoes the total loss by fire to 52,000,000. The police of the city during the year made 23,000 arre-ts, and $27,500 worth of property was stolen. During the last year there were 5,700 deaths, 4,084 mar riages, and 6,818 Dirtbs. -1 SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 25, 1869. T SHARE LIST. is'l JC:a Cioaliag kirainosa atiways.

The Times is very unwilling to allow the success of the Ballot test at Manchester to be accepted as favourable to an extensive adoption of secret voting. It asserts that to hold a test election in order to prove that the Ballot could be used with secrecy and safety is an elaborate and clumsy sort of joke. The Manchester managers established nothing that was not well known and confessed before when they shewed by the example of last week that an elec• tion on a great scale could be transacted with secret as well as with open voting. They proved nothing new, and they left untouched the real argument which has always been adduced against the adoption of their system. The single and essential objection to the Ballot is that it treats the voter as exercising a right for the exercise of which he is no more responsible to the public than he is responsible for the way in which he may spend the money in his pocket. It pro- ceeds on the assumption that a inan's vote is his priYatt property, instead of beirg what it really is— a privilege allowed him for the benefit of the comp:unify, which may be taken away - from him the moment be ::Lases it. If th , it would e franchise were, indeed, a private po-ssessio- not be easy to see on what ground we forbid its possessor from selling it to the highest bidder. Why 6 bribery a it and vpon what principle have we proceeded in sending - ju , lgcs with extraordinary powers thiongh the country to se: - .rch out and punish those who commit it? Why were Groat Yarmouth and, Totncs disfranchised in 167, and why is Norwich at this hour in danger of a suspension of the privilege of sending representatives to Parliament? Clearly, in ail W e do and all we think on tliis subject we proceed from the a,..sump tion that the right of voting is a right allowed by the community to those who give promise that they will exec _ . cise it for the public benefit alone—a right liable to be withdrawn if proof be adduced that this condition of enjoying it be neglected or broken. The Ballot can be justified only on a different view. It indicates what we cannot help calling a low tone of political morality, and its adoption cannot be excused except in the last necessity as a remedy for worse evils. It is not, how. ever, to our purpose now to argue the question ; all we desire to skew is that the experiment of Manchester, as its managers call it, has no relation to the arguments brougl4 against the Ballot. The opposition to it is grounded on moral reasons, not on allegations of mechanical difficulty, and a proved perfection of machinery cannot affect the position of its antagonists. The Herald believes that the inquiry at Limerick will disclose as much clerical influence as was shewn at Drogheda. We have no intention of violating the whole some rule which forbids us from prejudging a case pendente We; but so much we are fully entitled to say ; and we are encouraged to hope that the decision of the judge will be not less righteous and emphatic than that of Mr. Justice Keogh in the case of Drogheda. In past times committees of the House of Commons have usually taken a very lenient view of corruption and violence at Irish elections. That there should be wholesale bribery, clerical intimidation, violence, rioting, and bloodshed, was accepted as a matter of course. They made great allowances for the Irish, and were especially tolerant of abnormal influences when they were enlisted on " the right side." It would be impossible on any other hypothesis to account for the extraordinary decisions given in the case of the elections for Tipperary and Waterford in 1865. It was an accepted theory that the priests and the blud geons and brickbats of their votaries were legitimate agencies on the Liberal side, and that military escorts for Conservative electors were a scandalous invasion of the right of their opponents to drive them from the polls by force. We can imagine it quite possible that under the good old system knocked on the head by the late Government the inquiry into the election for Drogheda would have entailed no unpleasant consequences upon Mr. Whitworth. The Standard considers the Ritualist controversy, and declares that we have, had enough of lawsuits. At the same time it objects to some of the forms of compromise which have been proposed, and strenuously protests against tampering with the Prayer-book. This is no time to talk about liturgical revision. It would be a difficult task enough if the Church were at peace and her sons heartily united upon all matters of doctrine. Under present circumstances, when both doctrine and Ritual are in dispute, it would be simply flinging down the Prayer book to be cut and carved and mutilated at the pleasure of the strongest party, or to be eviscerated and diluted into the feebleness and colourlessness of Lord Ebury's We have no sympathy whatever with that fine, generous, large-hearted spirit of "comprehensiveness" which pro poses to expel those who are already members of the Church in order to make room for those who are outside, and who, as far as we are aware, have never signified their anxiety to come inside. Mr. Binney and Mr. Newman Hall are excellent men, but we see no reason why Arch deacon Denison should be turned out of the Church of England in order to make it acceptable to them ; and that, or something very like it, is the meaning of the liturgical revision porey. It is for the bishops to interpose in this strife of- parties, and bid the litigants to lay down their weapons and cease from girding at each other. Let them see what it is that they are bound to enforce under this judgment, and apply their decision equally on both sides. The Ritualists must give up their altar lights, and their opponents must be required to make some advance in the way of " decency and order." We hold, with Dr. Miller, that the judgment is as good against the vicar of Islington as against the incumbent of St. Alban's. Let the bishops apply it impar tially, and whoever may be the malcontents they will find themselves condemned by the great body of their fellow- Churchmen. The Star is very anxious that in the event of a vacancy for Manch ester the whole of the Liberal electors should vote for Mr. Ernest Jones. It appears that some 7,000 of the constituents did not record their votes during the late experiment, and the Star strenuously exhorts this portion of the Liberal party to abide by the decision of their neighbours. The Manchester Ballot has declared Mr. Ernest Jones the selected candidate of the Liberal party in the event of the seat now occupied by Mr. Birley becoming vacant. Mr. Jones received 7,282 votes ; Mr. Milner Gibson 4,133. As a faithful champion of the Ballot, Mr. Milner Gibson will hear without wincing of this conclusion to a contest with which, of course, he had personally no connection. He is quite certain to obtain a seat very speedily. Mr. Ernest Jones is not so sure of a place in Parliament for any other constituency than that by which he has now been preferred. The vote proves that the working class in Manchester have set their minds on returning Mr Jones, and as one of the three members whom the Liberals of Manchester lately endeavoured to elect in spite of the in conveniences arising out of the minority vote, he had a peculiar claim to the reversion of Mr. Birley's seat. The most absolute good faith must therefore be observed, now that a majority of the Liberals who voted in the ballot have shewn a distinct preference 'for Mr. Jones. Had the result been reversed, Mr. Milner Gibson would have enjoyed the hearty co-operation of Mr. Jones and his friends. That was fully understood even when Mr. Jones was expressing publicly the opinion that his position as the third candidate of the Liberal party ought to have been recognised without a ballot. The like unquestioning fidelity to the terms of the understanding upon which the ballot was based is now demanded, and will be forthcoming, from those members of the Liberal party who would have preferred Mr. Milner Gibson. The Telegraph thinks that the Irish Church question will become more complicated in consequence of the mis management of the supporters of the Establishment. By a display of injudicious zeal and unreasoning stubbornness, the clergy of the Irish Church threaten to do enormous mischief to their own interests. They have demanded that the Crown shall summon a meeting of the Irish Church Convocation, for the distinct purpose of enabling them to oppose, as a constituted body, the Ministerial plan of disestablishment. Meanwhile it has also been rumoured that they intend to postpone their grand attack until the contemplated bill shall have been read a second time, and shall have passed into committee. Such, likewise, is said to. be the intention of those so-called Liberal members of the House of Commons, who, although they are not ranged among the avowed champions of the alien Establishment, will do Mr. Gladstone's plan all the mischief in their power. And it - is easy to see why those honourable gentlemen should put off their grand attack until the " principle " of the measure has been affirmed, and why they should choose the committee for their battle-ground. To the " principle " of disestablishment they haN e more or less clearly committed themselves ; and, were they to vote against the second reading, they would be setting their constituents at defiance, and preparing for themselves a terrible day of wrath. In committee, on the ather hand, they may fire shot after shot with the most deadly intent, and yet not provoke the vengeance of their electors ; for when the House is discussing the bill clause by clause, members must bring up a crowd of questions respecting the adjustment of the Church's position; and some of the proposals, though apparently harmless, may really be as fatal to the Government scheme as Lord Dun kellin's amendment was to Mr. Gladstone's Seven Pounds' Franchise Bill. The I,oooth volume of Baron Tauchnitz's cele brated Library is to be a memorial one, and the fittest book in the world ift chosen for such a place—no less than ;he New Testament according to the English version, with ~he different readings of various Greek versions, and accepted translations, as foot-notes. Perhaps no method :ould put before the reader in a smaller compass or by a more direct method the true value of our version. We wish abundant success to this memorial book, both here Ind on the Continent.

THE CORPORATION OF LONDON. The Solicitor-General applied for a rule nisi calling on the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Common Council of the City of London to show cause why a writ of restitution should not be direc ed to them command ing them to return to the applicant certain goods which were stolen from him, and which had passed into the possession of the City of London. The appli cation arose out of the late prosecution in the great Corn hill burglary, when Mr. Walker lost 383 watches and a number of gold chains. The parties wore prosecuted and convicted. Fifty-four watches and chains, besides those taken from the thieves, which were stolen from Mr. Walker were found, and in Gaseley's box was round £270, which ho said wai ill , ' proceeds of the stolen property. After Om conviction Me.

Mr. Walker had made rupeatel applications to the (PT authorities, and there but been committees meetings and reports, but Mr. Walker had failed to ob tain any redress from thiCorporation, on the ground that this was felon's property. The articles were not, and in fact never had been, felon's goods.—The Lord Chief Jus tice -You haVe stated quite sufficient to entitle you to a rule.—Rule granted. POLICE INTA'LLIGENCE— This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. MURDEROUS ASSAULT ON A WIFE.—Wm. Stokes, de scribed as a labourer, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with violently assaulting his wife wit h a hammer. The injured woman was unable to attend in consequence of the injuries she received. Police-constable Robert Elliott, 36 E, said that at a quarter to ono yesterday morning he was on duty in Upper Rathbone-place, when he heard a noise, and on going to the end of the piaci he saw a woman in a fearful state, she being smothered with blood, and having some wounds on her head —two on the right side and one on the left— and her arms, shoulders, and body having also several in juries upon them. Ho took the woman, who he found was the prisoner's wife, to the Middlesex Hospital, where the surgeon dressed her wounds; and on after wards taking her home to No. 49, Upper Rathbone place, she said that the prisoner had assaulted her with an iron bolt, and that, on her taking up a hammer to defend herself, he took it from her, and assaulted her with it, in flicting the injuries on her head, and she asked him to take the prisoner into custody. On going to the room in which the prisoner was he found that he had locked him self in, and he believed nailed the door, and to get to him he had to force the door. At the station the prisoner said he had only used the bolt in self-defence. He (wit ness) knew the woman as a hard-working woman, wh o went out with a barrow to get a living for her children, whilst the prisoner he knew as an idle and ♦ery lazy fellow. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the constable said the woman was confined to her bed. The prisoner said his wife received her injuries by fall ing on a fender while drunk. The constable said the woman was quite sober. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner. WESTMINSTER. POLICE rRACTICE.—On the magistrate taking his seat this morning, Richard Bourke, a solicitor's clerk, said he wished to withdraw a charge of felony he bad made against a woman, and he at the same time intimated that there was a charge against himself. Jane Alton was then put into the dock charged with robbing him of a sovereign. Having withdrawn the charge, she was liberated, and Richard Bourke himself stood forward, the charge against him being that of drunk and incapable of taking care of himself. Police-constable 324 B said that after charging the woman defendant was put out of the station. As he created a disturbance at the door he was locked up. Mr. Arnold—l should think from what you say that the defendant ought to have been charged with being drunk and disorderly. If he was drunk and incapable surely his charge of felony would not have been token. Defendant-1 had been with some Mends and hap pened to take some punch, which I found was taking an effect upon me. I called a Hansom to convey me home, and this young woman jumped in after me, and when I went to pay the cabman she took a sovereign out of my hand. I told the cabman to drive to the station. Mr. Arnold—What was the disturbance defendant was making ? Constable—He wished to withdraw tho charge if she wou d give kite back his sovereign or half of it. Sergeant Bolden, who took tho charge of felony, was questioned by the magistrate. lie said that as the wouiaa admitted having the )vereiga he locked her up. Mr. Arnold—What did she say ? Sergeant —She said he gave it to her. Mr. Arnold—That's not admitting . st aling it. Se, g,ant—lle persisted in charging her. Mr. Aruo:d—Dcfendaut is fined ss. for being drunk. THAMES. COWARDLY ASSAtiLT.—John Fairbrass, a sawyer, and henry Gorman, a potman, were brought before Mr. Ben son, charged with violently assaulting Patrick Briant, a labourer, of No.ll, High-street, Bromley. The complainant was passing along the Mile-end-road last night at half-past 11 o'clock, in co:upany with his wife and a young man, his son. They were interfering with no one, were quite sober, and were on their way home, when the prisoners insulted them, and one of them demanded of the son " What aro you going to do with that woman ?" He said " That is my mother." The prisoners then struck Briant, his wifo, and his son. The woman's oye was blackened yb the blow she re ceived. John Briant was struck iu a cowardly manner while he was down. The police interfered, and the pri soners were captured. Mr. Benson said that Henry Gorman had committed a cowardly assault, and fined him 205., and in default twenty days' imprisonment; and Fairbrass, 10s., or seven days' imprisonment. 111A1 KE7B-2HIS DAY.
