There has been little or co demand for money at the Stock Exchange, and the supply is larger than ever. Loans from day to day on the Funds are freely negotiated at 1 f per cent. The decrease of the bullion in the Bank return may be attributed to coin required for harvest operations. Taking the £70,000 decrease in the figures, this, with £79,000 on balance sent in dur ing the week, makes altogether £150,000 so ab sorbed. A large number of grain vessels are coming forward, and as it is expected that the cargoes will have to be paid for without much del ay, a proportionate supply of capital will have to be provided. Mexican advices to the 13th ult. state that the c onspiracy just discovered against the life of Presi dent Juarez was found to have been rather widely organised, five Generals having been arrested for complicity in it. The Mexican army, it is said, is henceforth to be filled up by enlistment instead of conscription. " Recruiting parties will be sent throughout the country, and extra inducements offered." Advices in the Panama Star and Herald of the s th August state that the Guatemala mint was Progressing with the coinage of the gold recently received from California out of the proceeds of the loan, and that the money thus coined has been employed in redeeming the internal debts bearing the heaviest interest. There is no political news; the country is in the enjoyment of perfect tran quility, and there was an excellent harvest. With reference to Venezuela, no political news has been received. The arrival of Mr. Eastwiek, DI P., as conaniissioner of the bondholders, was expected at the end of August, he having left St. Nazaire for La Guaira on the Bth of that month. • The prospect of a large immigration of Chinese labour to the American cotton States seems to gain ground. Iu Mississippi the price of plantations along the river is alleged to have experienced in con sequence an advance of between 25 and 50 per cent. w ithin the last few months. In Louisiana the ar rival of this class of labourers is awaited with great l uterest in order that they may be set to work upon the rebuilding of the levees, which are in a very 'ulapidated condition. Agents are actively em ployed throughout the South in canvassing for , e , °lltr aets for bri ng i ng over l arge numbers, and th ey are s t ated to have been very successful.

DRIVING WITHOUT A LICENCE.—George Isaac Norton of 18, Henrietta-street, Brunswick-square, general dealer, was charged before Mr. Knox with unlawfully acting as a cab-driver, without being duly licensed. Police-constable Abel Didan 1, 17 CR, said that last night he saw the defendant driving a cab in Leicester square, the cab being his own property, he had seen him driving the cab the previous evening. Mr. Knox.—Then he was driving more than the 24 hours allowed. The constable said he was, and he never saw any one °lee driving the cab. The defendant said that 19 years ago through a convic tion he lost his licence, and though he had tried to get it renewed he could not. He had a wife and family to sup port, and had a cab and horse which he sent a man out with, to help as far as possible to keep them, and he would not have taken out his cab now but for the fact that his horses were without provender. He had been given to understand that Baron Martin had laid it down that a man holding a Stamp-office plate might drive without a license, and if that was not the case, he had erred in ignorance. He would memorialise the new Commissioners of Police for a license, and, if unsuccessful, would throw in his plate and give up the cab business. Mr. Knox said there was no doubt the Commissioners, in refusing the defendant a license had good reason for doing so. Unlicensed drivers could not be permitted to drive about the streets. The defendant was liable to a fine of .£5, but he would not go to that exteLt that time, but impose a penalty of 205., and if he appeared there again he would be fined the full amount. WESTMINSTER. NEARLY 200 TIMES IN CUSTODY.—Elizabeth James, 73 soars of age, a docrepid old charwoman, who has been between 160 and 170 times at this court , for drunkenness, was again charged before Mr. Selfe with being drunk and incapable of taking care of herself. Win. Barnet, 51 B Reserve, proved finding the prisoner in Broadway at middle-day so drunk, that she was 15 or 16 hours before she was sober. The daughter of the prisoner said she would take her to Drentford, where she and her husband lived. Mr. Webb, the usher, said one morning the daughter, her husband, and the prisoner were all charged with being drunk. Inspector Holmes considered the daughter as bad as the mother; he believed the prisoner had been over 200 times in custody. Mr. Selfo said the prisoner was 73 years old, and was perhaps the greatest drunkard in the metropolis ; but he hoped ho should never set his eyes her again, and that her daughter would take care of her during tho short time sho had to live. The poor old creature limped out of court expressing her gratitude to Mr. Selfo. DUN VILLE and C 0. ,: Belfast, are the largest holders of Whisky in the world.

The Catholic Archbishops and Bishops of Ire land, assembled at St. Patrick's College, May nooth , on Wednesday, the 18th of August, 1869, his Eminence Cardinal Cullen presiding, deem it their duty to place ou record at this important crisis the following resolutions respecting the Edu cation and Land Questions - 1. They reiterate their condemnation of the mixed system of education, whether primary, in termediate, or university, as grievously and intrin sically dangerous to the faith and morals of Ca tholic youth; and they declare that to Catholics only, and under the supreme control of the Church in all things appertaining to faith and morals, can the teaching of Catholics be safely entrusted. Fully relying on the love which the Catholics of Ireland have ever cherished for their ancient faith, and on the filial obedience uniformly manifested towards their Lastors, the Bishops call upon the clergy and the laity of their respective flocks to oppose by every constitutional means the extension or perpetuation of the mixed system, whether by the creation of new institutions, by the mainte nance of old ones, or by changing Trinity College, Dublin, into a mixed college. 11. At the same time they recognise the right, as well as the duty, of Catholic parents to pro cure as fur as possible for their children the ad vantagts of a good secular education. Justice demands that Catholic youth should enjoy endow ments and all other privileges on terms of perfect equality with the youth Gf other persuasions ; without which, equality in the matter of education, religious equality cannot be said to have any real existence. 111. The Bishops, without any wish to interfere with the sights of persons of a different denomina tion, demand for Catholics Catholic education, which alone is consonant to their religious prin ciples. IV. The assembled Prelates, learning with plea sure that it is the intention of her Majesty's pre sent advisers to legislate for Ireland in accordance with the wishes of its peop'e —and of this they have given good earnest—trust that the distinguished Statesman Low at the head of the Government will, with the aid of his able colleagues, give to Irish Catholics a complete system of secular education based upon religion ; for it alone can be iu keeping with the feelings and requirements of the vast ma jority of the nation. V. As regar is higher education, since the Pro testants of this country have had a Protestant University for 300 years, and have it still, the Catholic people o f I re l an d c l ear l y h ave a right to a Catholic University. VI. But should her Majesty's Govcrnment be unwilling to increase the number of universities in this country, the Bishops declare that religious equality cannot be realised unless the degrees, en dowments, and other privileges enjoyed by their fellow-subjects of a different religion, be placed within the reach of Catholics in the fullest sense of equality. The injustice of denying to them a parti cipation in those advantages, except at the cost of principle and conscience, is aggravated by the con sideration that whilst they contribute their share to the public funds for the support of educational in stitutions from which conscience warns them away, they have moreover to tax themselves for the educa tion of their children in their own colleges and university. VII. Should it please her Majesty's Government, therefore, to remove the many grievances to which Cath..dies are subjected by existing university ar rangements, and to establish one National Univer sity in this kingdom for examining candidates and conferring degrees, the Catholic people of Ireland are entitled in justice to demand that in such uni versity, or annexed to it— (a) They shall have a distinct college, conducted upon purely Catholic principles, and at the same time fully participating in the privileges enjoyed by other colleges of whatever denomination or cha racter. (b) That the university honours and emoluments be accessible to Catholics equally with their Pro testant fellow-subjects. (c) That the examinations and all other details of university arrangement be free from every in fluence hostile to the religious sentiments of Catholics, and that with this view the Catholic element be adequately represented upon the senate, or other supreme university body, by persons enjoy ing the confidence of the Catholic bishops, T riests, and people of Ireland. VIII. The bishops also declare, that the Catholics of Ireland are justly entitled to their due proportion of the public funds hitherto set apart for education in the Royal and other endowed schools. IX. The bishops furthermore declare, that a settlement of the university question, to be com plete, and, at the same time, in accordance with the wishes of the Catholic people of Ireland, must in clude the re -arrangements of the Queen's Colleges on the denominational principle. X. Finally, the Bishops of Ireland, deeply sym pathising with the sufferings of their faithful flocks, believe that the settlement of the Land Question is essential to the peace and welfare of the United Kingdom. They recognise the rights and the duties of landlords. They claim, in the same spirit, the rights as they recognise the duties of tenants. They believe that the comparative destitution, the chronic discontent, and the depressing discouragement of the people of Ireland are, at this period of her his tory, to be attributed more to the want of a settle ment of this question on fair and equitable prin ciples than to any other cause. Therefore, in the interest of all classes, they earnestly hope that the responsible advisers of the Crown will take this most important subject into immediate considera- tion, and propose to Parliament such measures as may restore confidence, stimulate industry, increase national wealth, and lead to general union, content ment, and happiness. The above resolutions were unanimously adopted at a meeting of all the Catholic Archbishops and Bishops of Ireland, held at Maynooth, on the 18th August of the present year 1869. PAUL CARD.

The quota►ion of gold at Paris is about at par, and t Ie short exchange on London Is 251. 15c. per Ll sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of Ca ►ia. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold at the above price is nearly 1-10th ;dearer in London than in Paris. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at Go days' sight was on the 30th ult. 1091 per cent. At this rate there is no profit on the transmission of gold from the United States. Vice-Admiral R. L. Warren, Commander-in- Chief at the Nore, arrived yesterday afternoon at Chatham Dockyard, in the Admiralty steam yacht Wildfire, and after inspecting the extension works at St. Mary's Island, transacted official business at the dockyard.

THUIISDAY. You have already learned by telegraph the substance of yesterday's proceedings in the Senate. Prince Napo leon's speech is the all-engrossing topic. The Prince did not leave us long in doubt as to whether or no he would take part in the debate, and his address was certainly sufficiently remarkable to satisfy his partisans. As you may suppose, the criticisms which it has called forth are very various. The Patrie reproaches the speaker with having introduced into the discussion those very features of excitement and acerbity which lie of all men should have sought to avoid. His very profes sions of attachment to the Emperor and his heir are censured by the Patric as altogether superfluous and in questionable taste. The Liberty, on the other hand, rejoices over an oration from which it only differs on one point. This, as may be supposed of the organ of M. de Girardin, is the Prince's preference of a Senatus-Consultum to a plebiscitum as the best means of transforming the Empire of Authority into the Empire of Constitutional Liberty. The Constitationnel lauds the Prince's speech as a magnificent discourse, in which the political situation is described with felicity of expr.ssicift arid ele vation of thought. Naturally the Conslitutionn.el ap proves of a speech which gives prominence to some of the very points upon which it has always insisted, such as the more equitable distribution of legislative and con stituent privileges, the permission of free discussion on the Constitution itself, the alteration of the electoral laws, the publicity of the provisional councils, and the election of mayors. The Temps declares that the Prince has placed the Senate in a dilemma. They must either see their work completely tranformed or they must acknowledge it to be worthless. The Ministerial reply to the Prince certainly shewed no little perturbation. Poor M. Forcade de la Roquette was completely bewildered by so much oratorical audacity and the best consolation he could find for himself or his hearers was the assurance that the Prince's sentiments were entirely and exclusively personal ; that the Ministers, and most especially the Minister of the Interior, did not share them in the least. The debate will, it is believed, be concluded in the Senate on Monday or Tuesday next. M. Magne is expected to take a prominent part, and will no doubt make a liberal speech. MM. de Chasseloup- Laubat; and Greasier will also, it is thought, join in the discussion. No deputy was present at yesterday's sitting. Pos sibly it was thought that if they were allowed to attend there would be no very valid reason for excluding the journalists and the public, but it is a matter of general regret among enlightened politicians that the doors of the Senate were not thrown open on this interesting and momentous occasion. From a rumour which was in circulation yesterday I gather that tho Corps Legislatif will not reassemble before the sth of October. The Ministers, I understand, have resolved not to fix the date definitely until the end of the session of the Senate. To-day a speech is expected from M. de Maupas, and it may interest you to know that M. de Sainte Deuve ceded to Prince Napoleon his turn to speak, according to a previous arrangement between them. There is some talk in Liberal circles of a fresh election c•f deputies, but this is not eery likely to come to pass at the present time. The Emperor is making rapid progress towards reco very, and it is expected that his cure will be complete before the end of the week. He cannot undergo much exertion at present, but lie is able to attend to business, and all promises well respecting his recovery. The greatest curiosity is still experienced concerning his condition, and when M. Maton appeared at the Senate yesterday, be was surrounded by eager questioners, who inquired after the Emperor's health. The reply he gave was very reassuring. M. Conti, the Emperor's secretary, was present at the Tening sitting of the Senate, and this was looked upon as a favourable sign of the Emperor's condition, as the Minister had not been absent from St. Cloud during the last portion of the Sovereign's illness. The Empress is .hortly expected. Her stay at A jaccio has been a most eventful one, and nothing could have surpassed the devo tion of the inhabitants. The most interesting event of the Imperial programme was the visit paid to thl little house where Napoleon was horn, and the chapel where his mother was buried. The house is of a very simple description, and opens on a little lane, that our modern Ediles would not tolerate. Th 3 next day the Empress and the Imperial Prince stood in the balcony of the lintel de Ville, while the different ommunes defiled before them. Some young, men sung verses in honour of the occasion which produced a great effect, and the Empress was so ov( rcome that she was obliged to retire for a short time, hear that M. Andre Lavertujon, chief editor of the •ondc, is going to establish a daily paper in Paris, which will appear in the latter end of October. It Las been computed that the number of men killed during the month it e Carlists were in arms in Spain amounted to more than three hundred ; this estimate includes those who were f;xecuted. There are about six hundred wounded in the hospitals, and nearly two thousand in the various prisons. Marshal MacMahon has arrived in Paris. It is said ;fiat he is about to inaugurate some reforms in the military system of Algeria, and that he has come here to consult with the Government on the subject. Those who were shocked to hear of the damage done to M. Carp(sau's group at the Opera will be glad to know that by the application of some chemical agency the stain has been removed. A large crowd assembled this morning to examine the work that is roil= on at the Onbra. THE ALBERT ASSURANCE COIIPANI. MEETINGS-THIS DAY. A public meeting of the London policyholders in this company was hela to-day at the Whittington Club to consider the present position of the affairs of the company, and to take steps to protect their interest. The lion. James Tobin presided. Mr. HUNTER, the secretary of the investigation committee explained the proposal to the directors for the reconstruction of the company, and said the plans were altogether useless and delusive, and, therefor, they ought not to be accepted. From the figures, he came to the conclusion that if the whole assets of the company were realized only 2s. 7d. in the pound would be the result. He believed that the proposal of the directors was altogether a sham. After some discussion, Dr. J. MORGAN said he had a policy which was transferred frost the National Guardian to the Albert in 1851, and he had been paying to the Albert for 18 years. His premium would fall due to-morrow—what he wished Ao know was, whether he ought or ought not to pay it, and to whom, when and where? Mr. WEBB, the legal adviser of the committee, said nothing had been done by the Albert yet to break their contract, and therefore the hon. gentle man should pay his premium to the liquidator who would pay it back in full if the company did not go on or a reconstruct of it did not take place. Mr. J. R. TAYLOR thought it would be the height of folly to attempt reconstruction of the company. The CHAIRMAN then submitted the following re solution :—That this meeting is of opinion that the plan of reconstruction of the Albert Assurance Company, as proposed by the provisional liquidators should not be acquiesced in by the policy holders, that further investigatigation should be made, in order that the policy holders should be en abled to frame their own proposals, and that Mr. Kirby and Mr. Price should be superseded by liquidator to be named by the policy-holders them selves, from whom a disinterested state of things may be arrived at. • (Cheers.) Mr. FERGUSON fully approved of the resolution, but thought that it would be much better for them not to pass the resolution, but to adjourn the pre sent meeting, in order that a Conference might be had with the other committees now sitting in va rious parts of the country, in order that a strong and united effort might be made to save as much as possible for the persons who had the misfortune to be connected with the Albert. Dr. WHITE then moved au amendment that the present meeting have confidence in the independent investigation committee, but that a conference be held with all the other committees in order to secure strong and united action. The amendment was then carried without oppo sition. A vote of thanks was then given to the chairman and committee, and the committee terminated. A meeting of policy-hollers was also held at the Guildhall Coffee-house, at which it was resolved that the scheme of reconstruction of the Company proposed by the provisional official liquidators was crude and inequitable, and that it was not practic able for the meeting to frame any modification of it.
