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 down 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 coin- PanY also proposes to connect Suez and Bombay, the difference between its programme and that of t he British Indian consisting in the line to be established between England and Suez (via Gibraltar land Malta), on the one side, and the co ntemplated ultimate extension from Bombay to Australia on the other. Each company has a solid and 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 directly.competitine 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 Unitel Canal and Railroad Com panies of New Jersey, offered by Nlessrs. J. S. Horgan and Co., at the price of 86, has been conaplected, and they aro now quoted at 1 to 11 premium. The guaranteed 4 per cent. loan of £135,000 for the European Commission of the Danube, in trolueed by Messrs. Bisehoffihcin ani Gold szhnlidt, is almost analagyas 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 com pany have introduced 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 Canada 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." The meeting will then be made special for the purpose of considering and confirming an agreement with the Buffalo and Lake Huron Railway Company. Creditors of the Trinidad Petroleum Company (Limited) are required to send the particulars of their elairas to the liquidators by the Ist of May, the 25 th of May having been appointed by Vice-Chan oellor Malins for adjudicating on them. The sixth ordinary general meeting of the Mer- Cuant Banking Company of London will be held on Thursday, the 25th inst. The transfer books will closed from the 11th to the 23d March. The adjourned half-yearly meeting of the Metro politan District Railway Company is to be held on the 11th inst.

An association has been formed called the Ha- Unnah Cigar Brands Association for protecting t he Cigar manufacturers of Havannah and the im- Porters and dealers of this country against fradu lent and colourable imitations of brands, labeLs,and trade marks. The Manchester papers announce that a meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Shaw and Whittaker, tn anufacturers, of Padiham, has been held, and that it was agreed the estate should be wound up wader a deed of assignment. The debts and liabili ties represented about £7,000, and the nominal assets were £5,500. BRITISH FUNDS-TWO O'CLOCK , (iOVERNMEST FUNDS. . Per Cent. Consols Ditto for Account, t Per Cent.

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. Utters from St. Petersburg state that Madame Patti's success has surpassed all expectation. Signor Mario has be,n 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 furni s h it., but we fear that his silence is accounted for by au illness FO serious as to have ended in his death, which occurred on the 21th Feb., at Unauilla, 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. He was a brilliant writer. After fill ing the night editor's position four years, he resigned on account of ill health. For many years he was the New York correspondent of the London Morning Herald and the Standard.—Tho Rev. John F. Hickey, the oldest Ro man Catholic priest in the United States, died in Balti 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, Secreta for many years, of the Unit e d St a t es S enate. A surviving brother, James D. Hickey, still resides at Emmittsburi. 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 APConnell was murdered in his office at Jacksonville, Illinois, at ten o'clock on the morning of the tlth Feb. In his usual health he was about to leave for Springfield, and had been but a moment before at his front gate observing Toni 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 went 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 wus found. His son; Major M'Connell, hastened to the house, and found him bleeding at the nose and eyes, and quite unconscious, in which state ho expired. His person had not been robbed, but a note lately due, and known to be unpaid, was missing. As its payer, Mr. A. Robinson, had called that morning, a warrant was issued for his arrest, and tho coroner's jery found him guilty of the murder. The de ceased, who was a successful lawyer, was 72 years of age. He was a participant in the Black Hawk war, and shortly after was elected Representative in the Legislature. From 1861 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 bo regretted that he has not prepared a book on the early settlement of the West, which he had been re quested to do. He bad amassed a fortune approaching a million of dollars, aside from his claims to $4,000,000 worth of property in Chicago. The remains of John Wilkes Booth were con veyed as secretly as possible to Baltimore, where 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 this for a fine metallic coffin. There was but little of the remains left, the flesh having all disappeared, leaving nought but a mass of blackened bones. Upon one foot was an old army shoe, and upon the other a boot cut open upon the top. 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 remainder 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. Booth, 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 mot at Albany, and interesting addresses were given by the lion. J. S. Gould, C. 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. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 9, 1869.

HORSE STEALING.—Richard Wales, a well-known horse coper, gipsy, and hawker, who has been everything by turns and nothing long, was hrought up on remand before Mr. Benson charged with stealing a valuable chestnut mare, the property of Mr. George Miller, cabinet-maker, of Bridge-road, Leyton, Essex. On the 26th of last month the prosecutor's mare was grazing on the mat ches at Leyton, and in a neighbourhood where many gipsies were encamped. The mare was missing on the following day, and on the same night the prisoner, who was the worse for liquor, was observed reeling along the High-street, Whitechapel, and leading, as he best could, a chestnut mare. He was stopped by George Petttnan, a police constable of the H reserve, No. 26, who asked him to give some account of himself and the mare. He said, in reply, that a man he had nev.tr seen before asked him to lead the mare to Shep herd's Bush, and to wait for him at the gate there. Pett man said that story woul I uc t do for him, and took the prisoner into cust,dy. The prisoner then invented several stori,l., all as false as the first ono. Au owner for the mare was soon found, and Mr. Miller having identified his mare, the prisoner, who mad 3 no defence, was committed for trial. st Bristol and Exeter 4 p.cent. 100 86 88 at Caledonian Qra., Nu. 2 lOO at Do.

A Row AT A " WORKING MAN'S CLUB."—Three young men, named Martin, Atkinson, and enstauc.., were charged with disorderly conduct in Regent street. From the evidence of Sergeant Leech, 17 (3, it appeared that last night there was a great disturbance at the Work ing Man's Glut), in Regent-street, the disturbance con - tinning some hours. About 3 o'clock this morning about 100 persons turned out of the club, and as soon as they did so there was a general fight between the parties and a scene of the greatest disorder, the inhabitants calling loudly "Police," and there being heads out of nearly every window. The three prisoners, being engaged in the melee, were taken into custody, but there being but few police present no more could be taken. The prisoners said they were roughly treated by the police, and called witnesses on their behalf, who said that there was a disturbance at the club, and that some of the members were ejected by the " M. C." Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the witness what he meant by the "11. 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, Mr. 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, 44 C,R, it ap peared that ha 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 ot Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, the fare iu 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 tim-, although he deserved to have it done, but fine him 40s. or a mouth. WESTMINSTER. SYSTEMATIC PLUNDER OF A MASTER.—Robert 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 boon 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 house 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 somo dirty clothes, were put into a bag 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. Salfe 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. 211 E SURRENDER OF GIBRALTAR. ----.0.--.,_, One independency we have given up within recent remembrance. A goodly cluster of islands, it con sisted of :—Cephalonia, Z trite, St. Maura, Corfu, Ithaca, Cerigo, what not; we hauled them all over for absorption into Greece. Gibraltar is sorely wanted, just now, to be done the like with by the Spanish—which is it?—Monarchial 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 01l 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 natue 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 Gold win 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 Shakspere, 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, cherishes, we believe, very dearly at heart the glory of the Crown and the honour of the country, and is himself in his very heart of hearts a thorough, downright Englishman.—The Gladstone Govern , meat, by a Templar.

IMPIatIAL PARLIAKENT HOUSE OF LORDS.-LAST EVENING. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. THE EASTER HOLIDAYS. Earl GRAN VILLE announced that he should propose that their lordships should adjourn on Friday, the 19th, until the 6th of April. He also announced that the negoti ations that had been going on for the annexation of the Hudson's Bay territory had not been completed. The 06e1 College (Oxford) Bill was read a second time, on the motion of the Earl of Derby. EDUCATION. Earl RUSSELL then proceeded to call the attention of the house to the accounts of the sums voted by Parlia ment for public education iu England and Wales. The noble earl pointed out at some length the nature of the re turns he required, and the house, after observations from Earl Do Grey and Eipon, the Duke of Marlborough, Lord Lyveden, the Marquis of Salisbury, Earl Grey, the Bishop of Lou 1011, the Earl of Harrowby, the Duke of Cleveland, and Lord Ilelp.!r, agreed to the motion. The house then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—LAsT EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. CIILTECII OF SCOTLAND. Sir B. ANST IZITTIIEIi gave notice that after Easter he should call attention to the a' rouage or the Church of Scotland, aLd ask whether it was desirable that any alte ratlou should be made. INSPECTOR OF FISHERIES. TLe ATTORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND, in re ply to Mr. Stacpoule, said the opinion of the law officers of Ireland had been taken on the appointment of Major Hayes and Mr. Brady, and that opinion was to the effect that the appointment was illegal. The law officers of the Crown in England had also been taken, and it coincided with that given in Ireland. The commission under which the officers sat had been revoked. SLAVE TRADE. In reply to Sir W. HVTT, Mr. GLADSTONE said the naval force on the West Coast of Africa for the suppression of the slave trade had been reduced, and it was under consideration whether it might not be altogether withdrawn. THE DUBLIN ELECTION. Mr. AYRTON, in reply to Mr. O'Reilly, said it was quite true Sir Arthur Guinness did visit the Post-office in Ireland previous to the election, during Post-affice hours, and canvass for votes. The Postmaster of the late Government expressed his displeasure at the proceed ing, and had issued a warrant to that effect. The hon. baronet also visited the Custom-house, but on that occasion he was not accompanied by a superior official. Ile canvassed about four votes, but he was informed that no influence of any sort was brought to bear on any of the voters so canvassed. The report ho had received from the Custom House, Dublin, was signed by the collector of customs in that county. THE DEANERY OF LICIIFIELD. In reply to Mr. Bass, Mr. ACLAND said the value of the rectory of Taten hall was £l,BOO, and the proportionate salary of the deanery of Lichfield was £l,OOO, and when Canon Champneys was appointed to the deanery he publicly stated that if he was to receive the appointment of a rec tory along with the deanery he should make ample provision for the parishioners of Tatenhall. The ques tion :whether the deanery and rectory were combined by Act of Parliament vas a legal question, the solution of which did not rest with the Ecclesiastical Commissioners. The opinion of the law officers of the Crown had been taken, and it was to the effect that the dean could not accept the rectory, but the legal authorities were divided as to whether the income of the rectory reverted to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners. POLLING PLACES IN IRELAND. Mr. C. FORTESCUE, in reply to Sir F. Heygate, said the subject of increasing the number of polling places in Ireland was under consideration. THE DIPLOMATIC SERVICE. Mr. GLADSTONE, in reply to Mr. White, said the re solution of the House of Commons that the expenses of the diplomatic service should be submitted to the house in the form of an estimate had been considered by the Go vernment. The text of a bill Lad been prepared on the subject, and the matter would bo dealt with in the present session in accordance with the resolution, viz., by estimate. THE TORNADO. Mr. OTWAY, in reply to Mr. Bontinck, 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 been 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 cmußca OF IRELAND. Mr. GLADSTONE, at the request of Sir S. North cote, said the value of the property of the Church in Ire land was a matter of opinion, and it must be taken ac cordingly. The total estimated value, as ho hal stated, in round numbers, was £16,000,000. TEE FINANCIAL LORD OF TITE TREASURY. SCL ATER-1;00TH, on the motion for the house 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, lie 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 be discharged by the Third Lord of the Treasury were to look after the finances, the Secretary to the Treasury having to superintend the expenditure. Ile 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 not undertake the explanation of speeches made during the excitement of a political election. The appointment had been made with a view to the public advantage, 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., econo my and retrenchment. Whether right or wrong, the appointment had been made with a view of benefiting the public service. Mr. RUNT said he must confess that after the ex planation of the Chancellor of the Exchequer he was very little w:ser than he was before as to the duties of the " Third" Lord. The house then wort into committee of supply, and Mr. CHILDERS brought on the Navy Estimates.. The other orders having been disposed of, the house adjourned: Foreign Mail Packet List. MAILS DUE.

The literary societies of Germany were requested to join the movement, and the follow ing address has been drawn up, to which that of Dresden and the Concordia of Vienna have given their assent:—"Mr. President, —Oa account of the close in ternal connection of all contemporary culture, the whole civilized world greets the 4th of March, 1869, on which von will enter on your office of President, as a festival. The victory of humanity is the pride of our century. The representatives 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 refrain from granting mental labour its due. This year the whole civilized world will celebrate the hundredth anniversary of the birth of Alexander von Humboldt, who established the science of the universe, and whose in 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 ono more enduring than brass. \Ve greet you in the spirit of peace and faithful work for the fraternization of mankind." President Johnson has pardoned John Disbrow, convicted two years ago of counterfeiting United St a t es notes, and sentenced to 12 years in the State prison, on the ground that he has a family who, deprived of his labour, are at the door of starvation.
