VELOCIPEDING AT THE AGRICULTURAL HALL The Agricultural Hall at Islington was opened to the public on Saturday in a novel capacity—that of a veloci pede practise school and racing arena. A better covered space for this purpose could not be found, and favoured by the strong bicycle mania which has broken out amongst us, the speculation, properly managed, ought to be remunerative. The Hall has been converted into something as near a ring as possible by enclosing in an immense oval the whole area of the Hall. A handsome silver cup was offered for competition amongst velocipedists, and all comers were invited to enter the lists. The card contained twenty-three entries, although there was an entrance fee of 10s. There were six heats, and then the competition was confined to two young velocipedists. Mr. R. B. Turner and Mr. J. Hook. Each race was nine times round the course a distance of about a. mile. The deciding heat was an exciting one. The riders kept close together, Hook evidently running purposely a yard in Turner's rear. In the last 1: and Jut one, however, Hook put on a tremendous spurt, and shot ahead o° his opponciit amidst loud cheers. Turner soon after gave up, and it was said he had by a previous tumble injured his foot, and therefore placed himself at a disadvantage. Both are excellent velocipedists, but the general opinion was in favour of Hook. The races were run at an average rate of fifteen miles an hour, a speed which it would be impos sible to attain over a less smcoth surface. The attendance of spectators was large. It is a question whether the presence of the betting fraternity, shouting their slang from barrel heads, is likely to be an attraction for such a quiet sort of assembly, or whether the tolera tion of ragged and unscrupulous sellers of "c'rect cards" within the Hall will invite the attendance of timid ladies and nervous gentlemen. Of course, if velocipeding is to become a new kind of "national sport," with the " national" attributes of betting, bookmaking, and welshing, these are the proper things to do, not otherwise. The proceedings were varied by flume tons accidents. The spectators, we are told, appeared to be on a pinnacle of delight when a velocipedist spinning along at ten or twelve miles an hour came crash against the barricade, and rebounded head over heels, while numbers two and three, hotly pressing on behind, and too late to stop or turn aside, made rapid cannons, and, in the twinkling of an eye, became part of A singular moving mass of wheels and legs on the floor. IsTo serious injury appeared to be sustained by the fallen. Some of the riders or fallers leaped into the saddle again at once, and hurried off upon their mission. Tho best riders were those who sat bolt upright, and preserved a rigid seat, leaving the legs, and especially the knee-joint, to do the work. Simultaneously with the skilled riding in the arena, ordinary amateurs and learners were rattling round the galleries with various degrees of success, oftentimes to the great amusement of the spectators. LAW AND POLICE. A TRADE DEVICE.—On Saturday the Master of the Rolls heard the ease of "Guinness v. M'Al anus." The plaintiff, the well-known Dublin brewer, filed a bill to restrain the defendant from using labels in imitation of those used by Messrs. Guinness. The labels were alike_ in form, colour, and devices, the letters " A. I)." •with the date being substituted in Mr. M`Manus's label for the letter " A" and a number; while " James Gate, Dublin," stood for " James Street, Dublin." His lordship granted a perpetual injunction, and ordered the delivery of all the defendant's labels. This was the last day of term. The court sits again on the 22nd inst. THE TICIIBORNE CASE. —ln the Vice-Chancellor's Court, on Saturday, two motions connected with the Tichborne case was heard by Vice-Chancellor Stuart. In the case of " Tichborne T. Tichborne" a motion was made op behalf of Sir Roger Tichborne, plaintiff, for an order directing . that the time for re' aining the bills led in the causes might be extended to the mat day- of Easter term 1870. The Vice- Chancellor made the order. In the other case application was made on behalf of three creditors of the late Lady Tichborne for an order for an account on her personal estate, or that the receiver might be appointed administrator ad litem of the intestate estate. The Vice- Chancellor made no other order than that the parties might take liberty to apply to the Court of Probate. THE LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER RAILWAY.—In the Vice-Chancellor's Court, on Saturday, a motion was made on behalf of the directors of the London, Chatham, aril Dover Railway for an order to vary an order made by this court on the 7th of May. That order provided that Mr. Kettlewell and Mr. Cadman should join, as representatives of the mortgagees, in opposing the bill now pending before the House of Lords. It was stated that since the recent decision of the Lords Justices those gentle. men could not now oppose the bill as representatives of the mortgagees. Vice-Chancellor Stuart declined to make an order, being of opinion that the application ought to be made to the Lords Justices. DRAMATIC COPYRIGHT.—In the Bail Court, t right of oroprietorship in the drama of " The Ticket of Leave Man " was argued on Saturday. The question was raised between Mr. Tom Taylor and Mr. Benjamin Webster, of the Adelpla Theatre, on the one hand, and Mr. Emden and another, of the Olympic Theatre. The right to the copyright was sold in 1363 to Messrs. Robson and Emden by Mr. Tom Taylor ; but the question was whether such sale was limited to the period during which Messrs. llobson and Emden were managers of the Olympic Theatre. The case stood over. WEAD3IOUTH COLLIERY STRIKE.—At the Sunderland Police-court, the other day,William Richardson, a hewer, was charged with assaulting a fireman at Wearmouth Colliery. Defendant was one of the men out on strike, and insisted on taking coals from the engine -house. Com plainant, who was fireman, refused to let him have them, and a dispute arose, in which defendant struck com plainant with the pail he was carrying. He was fined 10s. and coats. At one of the theatres in Vienna an actress is about to appear mounted upon a bicycle, and will go through the entire performance on that animal ! THE QUEEN'S VIEWS AS TO DA3IAGES BY GAME. —Her Majesty, having recently learned that one of the tenants on a property adjoining the royal estates on Deeside had been obliged, in self-defence, to protect his crops from the ravages of deer by shooting some of them, at once expressed surprise and regret that any farmer should suffer from such a cause, and have orders for the imme diate erection of the fencing necessary to prevent the deer .passing from the royal estates to his lands.—Dundce Advertiser. THE INTERNATIONAL BOAT RACE. —The fou r oarsmen who are to represent Harvard College in the races with Oxford and Cambridge fours of England, pull down Charles river, at Boston, every evening between 6 and 7 o'clock, stripped to the waist, in a six-oared shell, in which one or two other oarsmen assist them. The day of departure is fixed for July 10, so that the Harvard four will he enabled to practise on the current of the Thames, where the tide rises and falls 18 feet.—Nelo York, Times, June 2. ' A ROYAL GAMBLER.—The Russian Princess Suwaroff, who possesses the reputation of being th e greatest female gambler in Europe, is now in Paris. Last summer she was to be seen at Baden-Baden playing every day for large stakes from morning till night. When the Baden season ended she rushed off to Monaco, and she there passed the winter in gambling incessantly. The Monaco season ended, she is now in Paris en route for Laden. Sometimes her losses are enormous, at another hei winnings are very large. She is very rich, and has been three times married, but she lives apart from her last husband. She is still young, and very handsome. In early youth she must have been a splendid woman. Like all gamblers she is extremely superstitious ; sometimes thinking that if her face be placed in a particular position, luck will be certain ; at others, making certain signs with her hands as the cards are being dealt out, or the roulette ball is rolling ; at one time gravely begging people whose faces displease her to be good enough to leave the table, at another asking persons whose looks she likes to stand by her side. MURDER IN THE BOROUGH OF LONDON.—An imp - test wzts held on Saturday evening, in the Borough, re'pecting the death of Henry Johnson, aged 37 years. Martha Clayton, wife of a porter, said that the deceased was a labourer at the Eastern Counties Railway, and he lodged at her house. 'Last Friday fortnight, at twelve o'clock, the deceased was in his room, and a man Came to see Min, and he remained an hour and a half. !Olen there was a sound of the breaking of crockery. The deceased: them. exclaimed, " Oh, pray, for God's sake do nat kill me I" : Witness then entered the room, and she saw the decelse7l standing on the bed with blood flowing from the side of his face. The man had 4 poker, and he struck the des eased o» the legs and face ith it 9everal times. She tried out. The deceased then crawled off the bed and down the stairs. Her husband wrenched the poker out of the hands of the strange man and held him until the police came. lie bad often called upon the deceased about money matters, and he had often threatened " to do for him." Mr. R. C. Lucas, house surgeon at Guy's Hospital, deposed that he saw the deceased when he was brought to the hos pital, and he found a large deep lacerated wound on the right cheek. It was three inches long, and it went doWn to the cheek bone. There were also several other wounds on the body. They were - all tlo result of separate blows, caused, no doubt, by a blunt instrument.

The Conservatives still confidently maintain that the bill will be thrown out, but they admit that the majority will be very small, for the Conservative Cave is far larger than the Liberal party have any idea of. Lord Derby is described as furious at the opposition which has sprung up among his party with regard to the proposed rejection of the bill, and it is expected that he will make a most impasssioned speech winding up the debate. Lord Cairns has been an unwilling convert to the policy of. "No Surrender," He has been influenced by the overwhelming number of letters from Conservative leaders in the provinces, declaring that they will never support the party again if the Lords do not now throw out the bill. Up to Thursday night the Government did not believe that the Conservative Peers would divide. It was only when a circular by Lord Colville (in which the names and the authority of Lord Cairns, Lord Derby, and Mr. Disraeli were used in 'order to urge the Peers to vote against the bill) fell into the hands of a Ministerialist, that Ministers became convinced the opposition wts serious. A third circular is to be issued I.y Lord Col, ille on Tuesday. The Bishop of Oxford is using all his influence to induce Conservative peers to support the bill, and he has made a surprising number of converts. On the other hand, a considerable number cf Whig peers will, it is said, vote with the Opposition. Lord Houghton, it is believed, will at all events not support the bill. On Thursday night Lord Colville and the Bishop of Oxford made up their lists, and it was found that they agreed within two as to the majority that there would be against the bill. But as there were at that time seventy-eight peers who voted against the Suspensory Bill last year, but who had declined to pledge themselves on the present occasion, these estimates are of comparatively little value. So urgent is the " whip " on the Conservative side that four peers who hare not been in England for eleven years are coming over from Ireland on Monday, sorely against their will, in order to oppose the bill. The debate is expected to last the whole of the week, awl the division may even be postponed till Tuesday, 22nd, so great is the number of peers intending to speak. One of the most powerful speeches against the bill is expected from Bishop Selwyn, who has had experience of free churches. Bishop Magee will vote against the bill reluctantly. There is to be a deputation of Yorkshire Conservatives on 'Wednesday, to protest against the bill. Letters from Ireland de Clare that the Ulster Protestants are preparing to resort to arms in the event of the bill passing. The course which Mr. Gladstone will take in the event of the bill being defeated is variously. announced, but nothing definite is known, nor is likely to be until after the Queen's return on Tuesday. It is quite under stood that if the bill be presented to the Lords a second time it will be rejected again. The Conservative peers affect to believe that an appeal to the country, which must then follow, would show a strong reaction in their favour. In the meanwhile the advanced 1 adicals are preparing for a formidable agitation, and a well-known leader of the trades unions was heard to say last night, in the lobby of the House of Commons, that be had an organisation ready, so that in 24 hours after the Lords rejected the bill a campaign against the Upper House would be opened all over the country. It is almost certain that Lord Ilussell's Life Peerages Bill will be rejected, Lord Malmesbury having persuaded the Conservative peers to oppose it. The Queen's Messenger, a very scurrilous paper, started apparently to worry Lord Stanley, has happily come to an end, after a few weeks' discreditable existence. 'There are placards on the wall announcing the publication of another journal by the conductor of the deceased journal.

" Oxonienis " writes to the Daiy News that the debts of the Da'' e of Newcastle have been exagge rated. The Duke owes Mr. Padwick £8:),000 ; he also owes a Jewish gentleman £123,000. But if for the next three years, he is content to live at the rate of £lO,OOO a year—his wife's income—all these debts will have been paid off ; the estates bringing in £70,000 a year.

Mrs. Turner ; between Sir Robert Cunlifro and Miss Egerton Leigh ' • between Lady Mary Stopford, daughter of the Earl of Courtown, and Lieutenant Shelley ; and Captain Ernest Villiers and Miss Ada Ibbetson, grand-daughter of the late Lady Jersey. THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS. The weather has changed wonderfully within the last few days, much to the joy of the farmer. Especially does the gralier rejoice. He has had wet in abundance to make his grass grow, and to make it succulent ; and now, when the time comes for ripening and harvesting, dry weather has set in in his favour also. The reports from the country as to the hay crops are that there is great abundance, the earlier varieties are ripe, or nearly so, but th a t others are not yet ready for the rick, wanting more heat to bring them to maturity. The improved weather is also good for our wheat crops, which were in great danger from cold and excessive wet before the change. While the Scotsman believes that the Irish Church Bill is now nearly certain to pass the Lords, the Dublin Freeman and the Leeds Mercury, both, like the Scotsman, Liberal papers, believe that the bill will be thrown out. A communication, says the London correspondent of the Leeds paper, has been made to the Ministerial Whip in the Lords by the other side, that there will be a considerable majority against Government. Ministers are already preparing for this, and will prorogue Parliament almost im mediately, begin another session after about a fort night's recess, lay the Irish Church Bill on the table without saying a word, create about sixty new peers, and so ensure the carrying of the bill through the Upper House. The London correspondent of the Conservative Mancheeer Courier confirms this state ment, so far as the resolution of the Conservative Peers is concerned. The majority is expected to be fifty. Mr. G. 11. Gleig, Chaplain=General of the Forces, writes to the lieraN on the political crisis, and declares that he for one cannot affect indifference to the possible consequences of the rejection of the Irish Church Bill by the Lords. He is not alarmed by the virulence of the Liberal press, or by the threats of angry mobs, but he is seriously uneasy at the nature of the advice now being ten dered to the Prime Minister. The House of Lords have, he maintains, a perfect right to act according to th e dictates of their own judgment, a nd their re jection of th e bill wou ld no t b e an outrage to th e nation, nor a wrong t o t h e H ouse of Commons , but simply that t o w hi c h a l l Governments are in free countries liable —a defeat In the event o f suc h a defeat the M i n isters will have Patriotic, B three courses o p en to them. y no u t t h h s e e they will rs a n fi cl a h ' i fi n ish Mr. Gleig hold s , th e most i the business of the a'ssion as met them, and allow th e vexed question e t o standc -Iche ck o v a c! until next year.

A second course, not quite so patrioti c , but still constitutional, is to resign, trusting to the nation to bring them back a gain to power without delay. The third course is to prorogue Parliament for a fortnight, reintro:luce the bill, a n d try the House of Lords a second time. To stop the supplies without proroguing, to coerce the Peers by violence from without, or to create a large number of new peers, would, in Mr. Gleig's opinion, surely produce a crisis, and he asks whether any man not insane would assert that the game is worth the candle. MR. GLADi•TONE. Several Corlservative journals speak of Mr. Gladstone as being in a bad state of health. One says that he is suffering from bronchitis, another from a disordered liver. They leave it to the clergy to suggest that he is a prey to a tortured cuns3ience. TEE NOTTINGHAM ELECTION. The complicated Nottingham election is simplify ing itself, and the contest now seems to lie between Mr. Digby Seymour and Mr. Seely, jun. The CunserVatives—or a large seAion of them—are by no means enthusiistic in favour of their candidate, and his committee is likely to advise him to retire. Mr. Potter also is out of the field, and is not expected to go to the poll.

The learned gentleman dates his address from Clifton Hall, declares the identity of his opinions with those of the deceased baronet, and has the support of Lady Clifton herself. Lady Clifton—to whom Mr. Bernal Osborne attributed his defeat at the last election— has written a letter in favour of her husband's friend, in which epistle occurs the following pas sage : " If my assurance to your society will aid Mr. Digby Seymour's cause, I tell you now, as I already have dune, that it was my husbands repeated wish that Mr. Seymour should stand as an independent member for the town lie loved so well. Mr. Seymour was his true and tried friend, as he is mine, and he has my sincere wishes. It would be some consolation to me to see Sir Robert's friend returned because he was his friend. Trusting it may peso, I am," &c. The resignation of Colonel Wright, which some of the papers have demanded, does not seem likely to take place. The Colonel now writes that he never promised to resign. What he did was to remark, when talking with Mr. Seely about the election petition, that " One thing is certain—petition or no petition—l shall not remain long in Parliament, probably, not more than a session ; as the report I have just received from my physician is such that I should be a fool to disregard it." notice. in mat respect mr. Lowder says ne IS more fortunate than his friend, Mr. Wix, of Swan nore, Isle of Wight, who first found he was in court on reading it in the papers. FOREIGN NOTES. TIM RIOTS IN PARIS. The diaturbancei in the streets of Faris have grown gradually worse singe the elections terminated. On Monday there was nothing more serious than a crowd to com plain of ; on Thursday the escape from a collision between the people and the troops was very narrow indeed. Nobody seems to quite understand this effervescence. The Liberal leaders all repudiate the riots ; they are discountenanced even by the Rappel and the sup porters of Bancel4 Rochefort, and Gambetta ; and yet they have been renewed night after night. The Daily News correspondent is inclined to apprehend serious results. He is positive that if the Emperor attempts to treat France as he did after the coup d'etat there will be a revolution. "He and his dynasty and his system of government are execrated by the country. The difficulty of getting rid of him, and the sense of the necessar: evils of any violent change, may enable him to make himself tolerated as a pis alter, but any attempt to reverse the ver dict of the elections by violence will drive the people to desperation." The correspondent of the Standard expresses precisely the same belief. The Parisians would never tolerate another Second of December, open boulevards, guns, and troops notwithstanding. This is, perhaps true ; but the welcome which the Emperor ar.d Empress have received when they drove out on the boulevards on Friday shows that there is a class in France which does notdesire revolu tion. The correspondents of the Standard, Daily New:, and Pall Mall Gazette all agree that if the police had not behaved so roughly on Monday the riots would never have taken place. dently bent on battle, and is determined not to be taken alive, and his whoops and shrieks come over the ocean on every blast that blows." President Woolsey, of Yale College, one of the best authorities on international law, delivered two lec tures to the senior class on the subject of Mr. Sum ner's speech. lie denies the existence of any con nection between the Neutrality Proclamation and the escape of the Alabama. lie pronounces the theory of "ocean belligerency" to have an existence only in Mr. Sumner's imagination. He considers that the English Government had grounds for issuing the Proclamation free from all unfriendly bias, holding that a neutral might infer, from the condition of things at the time in America, that a state of war did exist. Stripping, then, the question down to its pith, he declares that the departure of the ve , sel was illegal, both municipally and internationally; and such was Lord Russell's culpable negligence that, on reading the evidence, he felt like shaking We recommend this idea to our pictorial contemporaries who are now busying their brains so much on American subjects; "Little Johnny being well shaken by Dr. Woolsey" might form an interesting cartoon. The professor thought it neces sary to remind his hearers that ho had not been bribed by British gold. It was announced last week that Sena!or Sumner, Governor Curtin, and other leaders of the Republi can party, ictendel to make the Alabama claims the party cry in the autumn elections. If they would do so they at least arc assured of the Irish vote, to get which the least American and most revolution ary cry has always to be raised. That Mr. Sumner would approve of any such course is highly im probable, for it plainly bears all that is objec tionable on its face. The Executive alone has the authority to take the initiative on such questions, and a most-popular Administration is now in ()LH cc at 'Washington. The Alabama claim is not a domestic qu: s' ion, and cannot be settled by the triumph of any political party in the United States, nor could that triumph influence the President to do what he thought unjust. To make a party cry is to split the nation, not to combine it where it ought to be combined for it is a subject involving the danger of a foreign war. To combine it would be simply to proclaim that war if the party c:uld carry its platform into practical eff,!ct, while to take such a course is to remove the subject out of a Court, and to make the plaintiff judge on his own case. Mr. Sumner is not the man to perpe trate such follies, nor is the Irish party one likely to commend itself to the Senator. The following was one of yesterday's telegrams :—" The Republican Association at Philadelphia has issued an addressstrongly approving of Mr.Sutnner's speech on the Alabama claims. The address calls upon all true Irishmen to join the Republican party in aiding the enforcement of Mr. Sutnner's views." Ton Thing this subject generally, a telegram from New York states that the proposition recently put forward by some of the Republican party that the Alabama question should be ma le a party issue at the coming elections in the autumn has been widely discussed. As yet, however, no decision has been arrived at, many of the leading Republicans being divided on the question, and there will be more discussion be fore a proposition so idiotic could be decided on. RAILWAY ITEMS.—Cincinnati has awoke to a grand idea, nothing less than a direct railroad from that city to Mobile through Chattanooga. In vain has Cin cinnati contended against Chicago and St. Louis for the North-west and West., for the onward stride of events has converted Cincinnati into an Eastern city. So she has turned her eyes southward towards the Gulf of Mexico. The Olio is a treacherous, snaggy, ill-conditioned river, now running almost dry, then furiously and difficult to stem, and Cincinnati does not approve of New Orleans, so it proposes to continue the 112 miles of the road already constructed through Kentucky to 'Nichola-ville for 249 miles further to Chattanooga, at an outlay of $9,000,000. It is thought that such a road running I audit! with, and midway between the Atlantic an 1 Mississippi through the fertile States of Alabama, Tennessee, and Kentucky, would itself create a large traffic, and be alike profitable to the shareholders and the cities it thus brings into direct, communication with the Gulf.—From Bos ton it' is announced that the Board of Directors have been elected for the Union Pacific Railroad.

THE FRENCH ATLANTIC CABLE.—A farewell en tertainment was given on Thursday on board the Great Eastern, now lying off Sheerness, where she has shipped her portion of the French Atlantic Cable. A special train took d.)wn from Charing-cross to Stroud a large party of guests, who were conveyed by boat to the ancho rage of the big chip 14 or 15 miles down the Medway ; and the assembled company on board the Groat Eastern included Lord Houghton, Sir Samuel C i f nning, Sir James Anderson, Sir Wm. Thompson, Baron d'Erlauger, Baron and Baroness de Stern, Lord William Hay, Cap'ain Sherrard Osborne, .Professor Jenkin, Mr. Reuter, Mr. Henry Clifford, and Mr. Cromwell Var]ey, who acc.lm panics the expedition as consulting engineer in place of Sir William Thompson. The Great Eastern leave, Portland to-day, and proceeds to Brest, where the operation of laying the cable w:11 have been com menced by the Chiltern, a vessel entrusted w th a few mires of the heavy shore end. The ship; will ms-ct at an app9inted spot ; and the Great Eastern wll pick tp the buoyed cable at sea. Then, after spq,:ing and testing, she will continuo the work begun by her at tendant ship. She will have other attendant ships in this critical voyage—the Seanderia and the William Cory ; or rather they will have preceded her across the Atlantic, to lay the American shore ecd of the cable at St. Fierro. Sir Samuel Canning has charge of the expe dition, and Capt. Halpin, who was chief officer under Sir Jams Anderson, will, in consequence of that of f icer's re signation, take the command of the ship. MONEY AND BUSINESS, (From the Springtiqd Republican, May 29.) The Money Market coutinues well supplied with funds, and the rates of interest are equable and moderate. Two or three heavy failures at New York, slid the quarter of a million deficiency in the Atlantic National Bank of Brook lyn, caused a little tightening up of rates, and temporary caution among capitalists, but aside from these episodes no decisive event has marked the week. The call for money has not, however, been excessive, and, on the whole, things have been pretty evenly balanced The general feeling among bankers seems to be that they have got down to the summer rates, aid that affairs will be quiet and easy for some time to come. The receipts of cur rency at New York from the interior are falling off, but the payments of the income tax will continue large for several weeks, affording a deposit for considerable surplus cash, which it is not expected Secretary Boutwell will put back upon the market. Messrs. Henry Clews and Co., the well known New York bankers, in their last public circu lar thus express their views on the immediate future of the Money Market :—" It maybe assumed that we have now fairly entered upon the usual summer period of ease, and a steady decline in the rate of interest may therefore be anticipated. In some quarters, a fi ee demand for money has been expected from the West, in connec tion with grain movements at the opening of naviga tion ; but, for obvious reasons, no such movement has occurred, the greatly reduced prices of western pro duce having rendered it difficult for that section to settle its deferred obligations for winter purceases of merchandise at the East. The Secretary of the Trea sury has adopted a policy, relative to the currency bal ance of the Treasury, which is well calculated to con tribute to a steadier condition of the money market, and to obviate that dependence of the banks upon the Trea sury, which has been equally in iefensible in principle and unwholesome in its results. Mr. Boutwell very properly considers that there is no necessity for the Treasury hold ing from 20 to 40 millions of currency in its vaults. We believe this policy has been adopted after consultation with the Coremittee of Ways and Means, and that it may now be considered as a settled feature of Mr. Boutwell's administration. The banks will in future undo stand that it will be useless to expect any special consideration from the Treasury in periods of pressure, and will there fore anticipate future wants with less dependence upon extraneous relief, an independence as salutary to the pub lic as it is convenient to the Government. There is no espe:, ial change in the financial situation at the West rn money centres. Chicago is well supplied with money, and the banks are loaning freely at 10 per cent, per annum, with an improved dein aid from the country for currency. The tremendous pressure brought to bear on Secretary Boutwell .to force him to step the sale of Treasury gold, having proved fruitless the premium has steadily fallen, and is still receding. The weakening began on Monday, and the subsequent tendency has been all one way. The efforts of the speculators to frighten the Secretary out of his policy, by forcing up the price of gold, having only resulted in doubling ties amount of his wceltli sales, they have apparently concluded to turn their attention to some more inviting field, and of late have quite neglected the gold market. The Treasury sales will henceforth occur on Mondays and Thursdnys - one million on each day, until further orders. Last Monday's sale realized 1421- -an advance of 8 per cent. over the pre vious one, and immediately after the price of gold fell nearly 1 per cent. The foreign imports coreinue to he enormous, and the firmness of the gold premium is un doubtedly due, in great measure, to the general expecta tion that our exports of specie during the summer will be unusually heavy. The imports for the week ending Sa turday, 22d, amounted to the enormous sum of $7,071,090 in gold, against $3,470,371 for the corresponding time last year. The dry goo:ls imports increased 60 per cent., and those of general merchandise 110 per cent. While this increase is going on, another unfavourable process is in progress in our export trade, which is steadily diminish ing, almost in equal ratio to the increase of imports. The difference for the last week between the exprots, and im ports was $1,300,000 in gold, in favour of the latter, and at that rate the climax of the process must soon be reached. This state of things, with the fact that our shipment • of bonds abroad must soon diminish, from a scarcity of sup ply, if from no other reason, fully justifies the expectation of a heavy shipment of gold and an appreciation of its price in our market. Sensational rumours of Cuban independence and of triple alliances may have something to do with it, but their influences will be hut slight compared with that of this enormous indebtednese which we are daily accumu latine against us. The situation is, however clear) , apprise heeded by the best informed bankers and importers of the country, and there is no reason why, forewarned, they should not be forearmed. Governthent Bonds have been rather dull and inactive limier the decline in gold, and a falling off of the foreign demand. The sensitiveness of, the London and Frankfort markets, while it does not amount to a positive uneasiness, is plainly ap parent, and the securities of the United States are taken with a little more caution than heretofore. Secretary Boutwell continues' his purchases of one million in bonds weekly for the sinkhig fund, but has given no indication for the intentions to double the amount as compared with his increased sales of gold. The purchases of Wednes day were mostly Five -twenties of 1862, and were secured at 116} to li6l. All the purchases e thus far made will go to the credit of the sinking fund, and this department will appear in the next monthly statement of the debt. The opposition to the Secretary's policy of purchase bas gene rally subsided, and most of the advice now furnished him gratuitously relates to the expediency of retiring the Three per Cent. Legal-tender Certificates, of which the banks held, on the Ist of May, $53,097,000. To this action the Secretary is advised by some of the best bankers and financers of the country, but the experience of his self appointed counsellors on the sale of gold will probably render them more modest in the future expression of their odinions. The chief objection to retiring the certificates is that it would be "contraction," of which the West and its Congresemen have so much terror, and that Congress at its next session might in correction interpose some new fangled scheme, which would seriously impede the opera tions of the department. On the other hand, the redoing tion of the demand for certificates would relieve the Go vernment from all danger of future trouble by their presentation at an unpleasant juncture, and any con traction which would ensue could be relieved by reducing the currency balance of the Treasury. Redemption and contraction, both are most desirable and both would have ultimately a most advantageous effect, but if both are im practicable, then one is better than neither. The Five twenties, which the Secretary is now purchasing, do not mature for years to come at the earliest, and the holders can at no time force the Government into difficulty, which is not altogether impossible for the possessors of the Three per Cent. Certificates, should the present large outstanding amount continue undiminished. The railway and general'etock market has had an unusually quiet week of it, and some days have been positively dull. Tho Van derbilt Roads have successfully pushed through all their schemes which were in the New York Legislature all winter, and consolidation of the New York Central and Hudson River Roads, on the basis of a hundred millions capital, is the next step on the programme. The Central Stock, which now sells for 190 odd, is to be further wa tered up to 200, and as the dividend on the Consolidated Road will not be less than 8 per cent., the ultimate value of rr The e sh s a t r o e e e k ofwitlhlqueue() probablyenceitlieage and h N e o r l t e h s_s w c than stecr 2 on la siz t e, o d r i r 2 o 2 a o d . are also coming rapidly up in the neerkaeiti,diints n prospective of the opening of the l'ecifie Railroad, r traffic. its daily large increase of freight and and earnings gainsno'vlt will soon however, foramount to toas thelast feßu l ov sd comfortablemouths:en e h a s: m beene of $ : d 5 0 0 , u 0 b 0 1 ( 0 ), those of any other Western . p ß o l t u i ff t by Indiana,tltel t i o s e k e m ls i l l t e n t d ed g , o a a n d d , L w a h v e e g e t to fig k ir s t s o h C a r e p u u c c o i t l n suffers business.

POST PRANDIAL ORATORY. The Bishop of Oxford attended on Friday the banquet of the Merchant Taylors' School, and re plying to the toast of the " Bishops and Clergy," told the company what he thought a bishop should be in these times. "He should be a man who fearci God,who honoured the Queen in truth and righteous ness, and who was not given to change." Lord Stanley responded at the same meeting to the toast o f " The House of C om m on s," and ma d e a ll us i on in his speech to the present constitution of the Lower Chamber of the Legislature. It would be idle, he declared, to say that the result of the late election was altogether satisfactory. Personally, he confessed he was somewhat disinterested in the , matter, for it was far pleasanter to have the agree able duty of criticising the performances of other people than to be called upon to do that which was calculated to excite criticism against oneself. More over, he believed there was just as much public use fulness to be shewn by those who were ready to put on crag, it necessary, as by those who were trying, as national coachmen, to drive on faster and faster every day. If they could only manage to keep out of foreign trouble and to lessen their debt, or, at least, not to increase it, the differences which now existed would doubtless be settled somehow, and the country would, he trusted, rapidly increase in material prosperity. The Earl of Sandwich, on the same occasion, referred to the action of the Lords on the Irish Church Bill, and expressed his belief that the Peers would do their duty firmly, and hoped that in so doing they would have the support of the country. DOCKYARD EMIGRATION. The Admiralty seems to be vacillating very much in the matter of dockyard emigration. The offer which they recently made to facilitate the emigra tion of discharged workmen they subsequently withdrew. Now, in consequence of unfavourable comments, they revoke the . Withdrawal, and renew, with some modifications, their former offer. In an official letter read to the Woolwich Relief Committee at their last meeting it was stated that the Admiralty were prepared to send out a limited number of discharged dockyard emi grants who have been in the Government service one year, and who can pay, either by them selves or the Relief Committee, the sum of 455. per adult head. For this purpose her Majesty's troop ship Urgent is to leave Portsmouth on the 24th of June, for Quebec. THE GOVERNMENT AND THE TELEGRAPHS. The Railway _Yews strongly upholds the Govern ment policy in the purchase of the telegraphs. It believes that the Ministry is acting in a fair and liberal spirit towards the companies, and is at the same time securing a very good bargain for the country. This journal urges that twenty years' purchase—excessive for a mere goodwill—is but fair terms when the plant is given in and the seller of the business is not able to resume that form of investment. It is certain that the income which the Government will derive will be equal to five or six per cent. on the whole sum laid out, and even this satisfactory return must be largely increased by the progress of the business. The Railway News like wise urges strongly that the purchase be completed this year. "If the arrangement is not carried out this session the companies will have the right, and will be fully justified in availing themselves of that right, to claim the greater profits of the present year as the basis for the estimate of purchase, and in the case of the Electric Company the increased profits of the last year were £15,000, and twenty years' purchase of this will add £300,000 to the sum re quired for the purchase of this company alone. The delay of another year in the settlement of this question will cost the country an additional £1,000,000 for taking over the telegiaphic Luziness." TILE ABYSSINIAN EXPEDITION INQUIRY. The Army and 11 - avy Gazette does not expect to get much from an inquiry into the Abyssinian expedition. At the same time the extraordinary costliness of the war is fairly puzzling, considering that only a very small portion of the force went up to Magdala, and that these for some time suffered " cruel privations." Is Lord Napier to be sum moned from India as a witness ? "On looking at the returns, it appears that three fourths of the money vas spent in India—that our War Office had only the end of its little finger in the pie, and that the Admiralty had only one hand in it up to the knuckles. Does any one expect we shall. recoup a farthing from India? The little items mentioned by Mr. Mundella—such as the 500 women sent from India 'to grind corn for the sepop' who never grind ,anything— are but drops in the bucket. There seems—we can say no more than that—as if the selection of the. .Bombay Government as the organisers was, at all event's; not an economical choice." • - THE ALABAMA QUESTION. The London correspondent of the Scotsman says that the great object of our .Government at the present time is to secure silence in Parliament with regard to the Alabama question. Lord Clarendon's speech was so cautious and so discreet that Lord Cairns, who had intended to • speak on the matter, decided to keep silence. It is possible that Sir 11. Bulwer also may be induced to refrain. Mr. Motley's instructions are not to reopen the question. It is believed by the best diplomatic yutiges : that the Americans will neither settle the. Alabama question nor revive it. They like to keep up an oven sore, and they are indisposed, AltetAhe late exhibition made in their name, to press the Alabama question upon us till it has got, probably' some time hence, into a new phase. THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY AND UNIFORMITY. Archbishop Tait has, in•reply to an address from the Rural Deanery of Shoreham, made some remarlis upon Ritual and Uniformity. He says that, in his opinion, the recent judgment in " Martin v. Maclionochie " affected only the precise actions referred to in that suit, the lighting of candles and prostration during consecration. Ile believes that it 'would be very unwise to lay down one invariable rule with regard to Ritual for all congregations. Even if such uniformity were attainable, more might be lost than gained by enforcing it. He adds " It has been the wisdom of the Church of England to leave much in such matters to individual discretion, in rating only that all things should be done decently and in order, and providing that if any question arises in a parish as to the use of such discretion, recourse shall be-had to the bishop, subject to an appeal to the arch bishop if the bishop think fit, that thus steps may be taken to order and appease any difficulties. Where dis sensions have unfortunately arisen on such subjects in our Church, I attribute this evil in a great measure to the unwillingness of the parties who differ to have recourse to this reference to authority prescribed by the Prayer book. But it is through this careful attention to each case considered on its own merits, and not by laying down fixed general rules which the Church has not invested him with authority to enforce, that a bishop is empowered to settle such matters concerning public worship as those to which your address alludes." A NEW BISHOP. The Rev. Samuel E. Marsden, grandson of the well-known Australian missionary of that name, has, on the recommendation of the Archbishop of Canter bury, been appointed to the bishopric of Bathurst, Australia. Mr. 'Marsden graduated 8.A., at Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1855, coming out among the Junior optimes. He was ordained deacon in 1855 and priest in 1856. He was first curate of St. Peter's, Hereford, then of Lilleshall. In 1861ohe was ap pointed by his relative, Mrs. Marsden, to the perpetual ccuracy of Bengeworth, near Evesham, worth £175 per annum. He is Diocesan Inspector of Schools. THE BISHOPS OF 'WINCHESTER AND CASHEL. The rumour that the Bishop of Winchester was going to resign his preferment is contradicted , y.

Nevertheless he continues to retain his preferment, that is, to sacrifice what he believes to be the interests of the Church in order that he may enjoy for a period which can only be a, very few years the revenues of his see. THE PROSECUTION OF MD. LONVDER. The Rev. C. T. Lowder writes that the proceedings against him have not yet commenced, and that the BA= of London has Promised to give him . Aua THE NEW PBENCE PARLIAMENT. As announced by telegraph, it has been decided that A session of the French Corps L4gislatif shall be held at the end of the present month, commencing on the 28th. It was for some time matter of doubt whether the new Chamber should meet at once or in November, as did the last Parliament. The former course has, however, been determined upon. The session will last about a month, and will be devoted to theratifying of the various elections. The Patric has created some excitement by a paragraph to the effect that the Chamber has been con vened, not so much for the purpose of ratifying the powers of the deputies, as to be in readiness for any " extraordinary event." By the Moniteur and other papers this declara tion of the official journal is interpreted as a prophecy of war. The Patric, however, stoutly maintains its assertion, and leaves the interpretation to those who chose to under take it. It is pretty certain, however, that if there be no war, there will be at least a great uproar, and for the reason we have previously mentioned. Several seats won by the Imperialists will be stoutly contested by the Opposi tion, on the ground that the manoeuvres of the prefects were illegal. Never, indeed, before have the authorities made suoh an unsparing use of their opportunities as this election. The prefects have clearly acted on the motto of "Get the official candidate in—by fair means if possible ; but get him in, let the means be what they may." The riots at Nantes were owing entirely to prefectoral manoeuvres. A number of the citizens have signed a protest, in which they urge that the return of the official candidate was wholly illegal. The townspeople voted for the Liberal, but the country votes overpowered them. Now, as the principle of electoral districts is carried out in France, every town must have a certain portion of rural territory included with it in the electoral circumscription. But such circumscription ought to be a compact district, whereas in the case of Nantes the authorities expressly and arti ficially arranged matters so that the votes of the country should outweigh those of the town. The Constitution of the Empire prescribes that the departments shall return members in the proportion of one to 35,000 inhabitants. But the authorities have so distorted the districts in the neighbourhood of Nantes that one circumscription con tains 45,200 inhabitants and another 32,800. On this account some of the leading men of the town demand that the election be annulled. It is strange that the Govern ment should lower its dignity in the eyes of the French people by such a palpable fraud as this. M. HENRI ROCHEFORT. One of the most remarkable features of the last election was that 111. Henri Rochefort, the satirist, of .Lantern fame, obtained above 14,000 votes. He was not returned, but it is by no means certain that be will not ultimately find a seat. No fewer than four of the Paris deputies have been elected in two places, and all of them, says the Independance Beige, have chosen to sit for the country. Thus four more elections will be needed in Paris; and Rochefort, who has declared that be will get up a revolution at the first opportunity, may step in some where, especially for the extremely Red first circum scription. THE ItIASSACRE IN EAST AFRICA. Two of the relatives of the family who have been mas sacred in Bazen have set out for Egypt to investigate the circumstances cf the outrage, They are Mr. Henry Saint John Powell, brother of the unfortunate gentleman, and Mr. Jenkins, brotherof the lady who shared her husband's fate. Their mission is to obtain the assistance of an Egyptian force to punish the murderers. APPREHENDED LOSS OF AN AMEEICAN LINER. Great anxiety is felt respecting the fate of the United Kingdom, one of the Anchor line of steamers. This vessel is much overdue, and the premium upon her had risen somednys back toashighas 250. Acatastrophewould in this case be exceptionally deplorable, for the American liners, and the Anchor series especially, are always crowded at this time of the year. It is remarkable that two vessels of this line have already been lost during , the last few months. There is unfortunately too much reason to fear that the United Kingdom maybe the third instance of disaster. MIR S. BAKER'S EXPEDITION. The Army and Navy Gazette states that Sir Samuel Baker's force for his expedition to the White Nile will consist of two infantry regiments, each 600 strong, one regiment of irregulars, 600 strong, 900 cavalry, two light and one heavy battery—in all some 3,300 men. The Gazette• expresses itself interested— not without doubt, apparently—as to how Sir S. Baker, who is not a soldier, will handle his little arniy. The country is difficult, and the climate damp and feverish. A NEW PROJECTILE. That mysterious place—the Camp of Chalons—is once more the scene of experiments with a new and, we ara told, deadly invention. The last hobby was the mitrail leuse, now it is the Mancourant projectile. This novelty is of the form of an ordinary cylindro-conical ball, and its chief advantages are that it can be made to burst at a given distance, or directly it touches 'the ground or any other object. The shell appears to be ready fitted with fuses of various lengths, and the operator has only to remove a cap, apply a match, and fire, and the shell bursts either at a thousand, or two, or three thousand countering any obstacle. The military t, the instrument can be ymaardde to s . By u y i a s t n o o t n h e e r y arrangement, men of Chalons are much pleased with this plaything. They believe it will prove too delicate for campaigning, but it may do great things in siege operations. k Front tk Anglo-American limes.) It is remarkable that a portio►► of the settlement on the West Coast of the United States will be due to political...causes, as were the, early settlements on the East Coast. The Europeans fled from persecution westward, the Japanese and Chinese are beginning to fly from perse cu io❑ eastward, and, like the Pacific Railway, they will meet some, day at Ogden. l'hree Japa nese families arrived at San Francisco, May 27, thirty-seven 111',f0 are on their way ; and eighty other families are prepari❑g for the voyage. This exodus is in consequence of the defeat of the North ern Princes, but these fugitiveS will not come emry-handed into the States, for they bring tea and bamboo plants and mulberry trees, and will buy- lard whereon to establish new and - productive industries. The Springfield, Republican calls its Massachusetts Congressmen—Banks, Butler, and Buffinton—the busy B's (bees). The Herald's correspondent, a gentleman of. great imaginative power, skilful be yond everything in " interviewing," and whose pen is as facile in romancing as that of any lady novelist, says that the two Massachusetts' Cabinet Ministers will be driven out of office by furious Congressmen, chief among whoua are those from Massachusetts, and the Republican supposes that this refers to the busy B's. Attorney-General Hoar is condemned for the abruptness of his manner towards those with whom he has tusii,es to transact, which, be ing interpreted into plain English, means offices in his department to Ilsk fur. These Congressmen have sworn a great oath that he must go back to Coli c ard. The cause of the storm against the other, Secretary Boutwell, may easily be guersed by those who have Leen " bulling" gold and "bearing" stocks.
