The bills have been returned of Messrs. Heatley, Great St. Helen's. Their liabilities are estimated Gowan, and Co., South American merchants, of at upwards of £lOO,OOO, and it is thought that the realisation of the assets will prove unfavourable. The house is old-established, but has been gradually declining for some years past. It has been con nected with firms which have recently failed at Glasgow and Manchester. The Pacific Steam Navigation Company's vessel Santiago, reported as having been totally lost in the Straits of Magellan, is valued, with her cargo, at £70,000. Insurances to a large amount had been effected here, and as much as fifty guineas premium was paid last week upon her. We regret to announce the death of Mr. Robert Slater, so well known awl respected in the City as a member of the late firm of Morrison, Dillon, and Co., and subsequently a director of the Fore-street 'Warehouse Company. The ordinary general meeting of the proprietors of the National Bank of India (Limited) will be held ou the 22d inst., when a dividend will be de clared. A special general meeting of the East Norfolk Railway Company is called for the 27th inst., to consider and approve a bill extending the time for the completion of the railway. With reference to the Estates Investment Com pany (Limited), it is announced that the official liquidator has given notice of appeal to the Lords Justices against the decision of the Master of the Rolls, made on the 20th ult. The South Eastern Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of £1,042 over last year; and the Brighton an increase of £66. The traffic return of the Great Western Railway of Canada for the week ending the 11th inst. shows au increase of £866 over last year ; and that of the Grand Trunk of Canada, for the week ending the 20th ult., an increase of £BO9. It is satisfactory to notice that a meeting of the holders of Erie Railway shares is convened for the 18th inst. at the London Tavern, with a view to the formation of a committee to protect the inte rests of the shareholders. The following pertinent remarks have reference to the issue of Turkish Treasury Bonds, which has lately been attempted in this market through the Societe Generale of Paris and its agents : " With reference to the criticism which has ap peared in the English journals ou the recent issue, by the Societe Generale of Paris, of Turkish Go vernment Treasury Bonds, it would be well that the Subscribers, if any, thereto were made fully aware of the fact that the issue of these bonds as a public loan is unauthorised by the Turkish Government, and has not received their sanction ; and that the coupons for interest can only be simple engage ments of the Societe Generale, not of the Turkish Government. The public, therefore, in the event of any necessity, have no direct claim on the Tur kish Government for the interest, but must simply substantiate their claim as against the Societe Gene rale for this as for any other claim upon that finan cial association. The present advance made to the Turkish Government upon those Treasury Bonds appears to have been simply a prolongation and augmentation of a previous advance by the Societe Generale to the Turkish Treasury.

DRUNKEN CABBY. —James Flack, aged 52 years, a cab driver, was brought before Mr. Benson charged with being drunk and incapable of taking care of himself and his horse and cab. Hubert Bagwell, 77 It reserve, said that the prisoner was intoxicated, and could not see his way clear of the toll-bar in Commercial-road last night, for he run his horse And cab against the White Horse turnpike-gate and was thrown from his scat. lie picked up the prisoner, took him to the station-house, and conveyed the horse and cab to the stables of the owner in Bedford-street, Russell-square. The prisoner, in defence, said a gentleman he was driving gave him some liquor, and it got the better of him. He had been a driver 30 years, and only two summonses in all that time against him. Mr. Benson said that nearly all the cab cases that had come before him and his colleague wore the result of per sons giving strong drinks to cabmen. They had better give them money to take home to their families. The prisoner had had six masters iu as many months, and had driven for his present employer three days only. The Prisoner -I can't help it-the masters charge us 16s. per day for horse and cab. Mr. Benson—That don't justify you in getting drunk and endangering the lives of the public. You are fined lOs. SUCKING THE MONKEY. —Conrad Schmidt, a German labourer, was charged with extracting wine from a cask in the London Dock with a wooden tube. Peter Neilson, a watchman, stated that ho saw the prisoner leaning over the bunghole of a cask of Tarra gona wine, with a tube in his mouth, and drinking the wino. There were others near him waiting their turn for a draught of wino, and they all ran away. The prisoner said he had only just begun to drink when the watchman seised hint. Mr. Benson—You are fined 20s. The prisoner —I did not drink any wine. Mr. Benson—l believe you did. The tuba smells very strongly of Tarragona 'wine. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CRUELTY TO HORSES.—John Syme, a carman, in tho employ of Mr. Tyler, of Great Earl-street, Seven-dials, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with working a horse in an unfit state. A constable proved seeing the defendant driving a horse attached to a cart laden with sand, in Coventry-street, and seeing that the horse was in an unfit condition for work, took the defendant into custody. George Young, officer of the Royal Society for the Pre vention of Cruelty to Animals described the horse as having several sores about it, and being so lame of the near fore-leg that it was scarcely able to drag it along. The defendant said he had brought a load of sand from Brompton. Young said that the owner of the horse had been pro ceeded against by the society, and several times con victed. Mr. Tyrwhitt said that the only thing he could say for the defendant was that he was poor, and did not care what he did so long as he got something. There were men who did not care more for horses than a piece of wood, so long as they could get them to go. The defendant would have to pay a fine of 10s., and for his consolation he would inform him that his master would be summoned by the society for sending out the horse. ANGLO-BELGIAN PRIZE FUND. His Grace the Duke oI Wellington, K.G., has kindly arranged to preside at the second annual meeting of the Anglo-Belgian Prize Fund, which is to be held to-morrow (Wednesday), at 4.30 p. m ., i n Mr. C. Mercier's studio, 2 1, Albert -gate, Hyde-park. In addition to the ordinary business the engraving from the picture of the King of the Belgians (painted by Mr. C. iMercier) will be submitted for inspection, it being now quite finished. It is also intended to pass a special address of condolence to his Majesty on his late bereavement. The progress of the Anglo - Belgian Prize Fund, as shown by the report of the committee, is most satisfactory, and it is confidently anticipated that its success will continue. The position occupied by the Prince of Wales on the committee guaran tees this. But we must not lose sight of the fact that it is by the sale of the engravings of the King's picture that the funds are to be realised. A. word or two, therefore, with respect to these engravings and the picture will not be out of place. The picture has been spoken of most highly by our English and foreign contemporaries. The engrav ing is said to reproduce its best qualities. The special distinction, however, which will attach to the engraving is the unprecedented fact that the superior proofs, appropriately designated " Royal proofs," will each bear the King's written autograph. MISS EMILY FAITIIFULL'S LECEURE ON THE CLAIMS or WOMEN. 0 wing to the great success that has attended the delivery of the lectures in different parts of the country and the metropolis, Miss E. Faithfull will re appear ou Thursday next at the Hanover-square Rooms, when a distinguished audience :may confidently be an ticipated. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 16, 1869. • SHARE LIST.

In this case a faculty had been applied for by the Rev. Dr. A. B. Evans, the rector of St. Mary le-Strand, to enable him to alter the interior of the church, which has at present high and ugly pews, the removal of which it is generally admitted, except by the parishioners who do not attend the church, would be a great aid to the decent celebration of divine service. There are some other alterations proposed, which the faculty applied for would authorise. The objec tions urged by those of the parishioners who oppose the rector were that the proposed alte rations were desired in order that Ritualist practices might be more fully carried out. That allegation was denied by the rector, who urged that his sole object was the comfort and convenience of his congregation. Dr. Deane, on behalf of Dr. Evans, stated the circumstances of the case, and said that the experses were to be incurred solely by thegentlemen applying for the faculty, which was to reseat and repair the church. There bad been differences of religious opinion, but the only question the court would have to decide was whether the proposed change would be for the good of the parish. If it was for the good of the parish, the court would be bound to grant it, even though only one person applied for it and all the other persons in the parish objected to it. Share Railways. Paid.

A shocking railway accident is reported from Llechyrd, a small station on the Central Wales Railway. From the evi dence adduced at the inquest it appears that a party of four men, having missed the last train from Llechyrd for Llandrindod, started to walk home, and got on the railway, as being the most direct road. They were all more or less intoxicated, but proceeded safely till they reached a narrow cutting. At this point the deceased, Mr. John Jones, a retired farmer, and Mr. Joseph Bound, innkeeper, weee walking together first, their companions, William Samuel and Rees Evans, bringing up the rear. The night was very dark and they could not see far ahead, but Evans, having his attention roused by hearing what he thought to bo an approaching train, kept a sharp look-out, and he suddenly perceived the lights of an engine bearing down upon them. lie shouted out that the train was coming, and be and Samuel, clinging to the wall of the cutting, escaped without injury, but Mr. Jones and Mr. Bound were knocked down, the whale train passing over them, and killing them on the spot. The two survivors, groping about in the dark, came upon one of the bodies, but were so horrified that they ran off without finding the other. In the meanwhile, the driver of the train, "fancying" he had passed over some thing, examined the engine upon arriving at the next sta tion, and finding the wheels all splashed with blood, an engine was sent back down the line, and the bodies were discovered. They were in a frightfully mutilated state, havir g been dragged under the wheels for a distance of thirty or forty yards. The jury returned a verdict of acci dentally killed. WIFE MURDER. .M an early hour on Sunday morning a wife murder of the most brutal and revolting nature occurred in South Shields. The murderer is an Irishman named Peter Tracy, a labourer in the employment of the Tyne Chemical Company. He is a married man, about 38 years of age, and resided with his wife, Jane Tracy, a young woman 25 years of age, at 11, East Adelaide-street, South Shields. On Saturday night, at an early hour, Tracy, after being absent for some time, returned to the house considerably the worse for drink, laid himself down on the floor, and fell asleep. His wife was in the house, and it is stated that she was also under the influence of liquor. Tracy awoke about ten o'clock, and about that time some of his friends—countrymen of his own—came into the house, whereupon he ordered his wife to go to a beerhouse adjoining for half-a-gallon of beer. Tracy, with his friends, sat waiting the return of his wife for about two hours, at the end of which time he rose and said he was going out to look for her, evidently getting irritated at her long absence. After waiting outside for some time, his wife made her appearance in the yard where lie was standing. He immediately on her return rushed upon her and knocked her to the ground. She by some means or other managed to get out of his hands and ran into the house, which, it may be here stated, is a sort of cellar or low hovel. He followed her in an angry passion. After he got into the house he again made an attack upon-her, knocked her down on the floor, and kicked her in a most brutal and violent manner. Mrs. Tracy was found lying on the floor in a pool of blood. Tracy was asked if he knew what he had done, He replied, " She shall not make a fool of me. lam not finished with her yet," and made a rush again as if to kick her, but was prevented renewing his brutal treatment. 0- ----‘l‘ , ;na the woman she was found to be noiseless and, indeed, died about a qu ar t er o f an h our a ft er th e occnrence. On being inf orme d th a t hi s w if e was d ea d prisoner burst into a fit of crying. He has been brought before the magistrates. COUNTY FINANCE BILL.—WB understand that, owing to the large number of Government measures now before the House, the County Finance Bill cannot be introduced for some days, probably not till after Easter. —Chamber of Agriculture Journal. THE LATE SIR CHARLES SLINGSBY.—A proposal has been started to hold a county meeting, probably at York, to devise measures for the erection of a memorial to the late baronet, who was the last of the Slingshies, and which should also mark the scene of the late calamity on the Ure, near Newby Ferry. A pyramid on Scotton Bank is suggested. DEATH OF A WATERLOO VETERAN.—The death is announced of Captain Somerville Waldemar Burges, son of the late Sir James Bland Burps, Bart., of Beauport, Sussex, and brother of the late Sir Charles Lamb, Bart. Captain Burges was born in 179 G, entered the Grenadier Guards in 1812, served in the Peninsula, France, and Flanders, receiving the war medal with two clasps for Nivelle and Nive. He was severely wounded at Waterloo, losing his right leg by a cannon shot. He had resided for many years abroad, and died at Geneva on the 7th inst. The operative plasterers in Sheffield have Leen on strike for about a fortnight. The Point which they seek to obtain is that they shall comp an hour later in the morning to their walk. This wculd make a difference of about 35. week, and would entail a difference in the work of the labourers dependant on them. The master plasterers would thus lose about ss. for each of their men. They refused to concede the point, as their trade is d pressed, and they com plain that the men refused to submit the matter to arbitra tion. The rule is that any matter in dispute shall be refer red to an umpire, whose decision shall be final, and who shall be elected annually by a mixed committee of masters and workmen. The masters have obtained assistance from the Free Labour Society. THE RENOVATION OF A RACE.—The theory of the Malay descent of the South Sea Islanders has been adopted by King Kamehameha of Hawaii in a rather practical manner. That monarch has come to the con clusion that his native subjects have become effete by in termarriage and too close relationship, and that the spirit ' 1 of the race must be revived by a fresh infusion of the blood of their northern ancestors. His Majesty ' has accordingly resolved to import into his dominions a crowd of Malays from the Straits Settlements and Archipelago, who are to amalgate with his subjects and renovate the race. An American agent has been appointed, and will, as soon as he has transacted some negotiations on behalf of the king at Washington, take up his duties at Singapore. We shall watch the result of this experiment with interest. Beyond the traditional connec tion, which is liable to grave doubts, the Hawaiians and the Malays have nothing in common, and the barrier of religion will prevent the former from raising themselves to a level with the followers of Mahomet. ENGLISH TOURISTS ON THE NlLE.—Letters from Cairo announce the completion of Mr. Cook's Nile trip. The party was necessarily divided into two sections, for the convenience of two steamers belonging to the Govern ment, each of which was provided for sixteen passengers, but as four were added to the number at Cairo, there were seventeen in each vessel. They sailed on the 10th of February, and reached Assouan, at the foot of the first cataract, on the 23rd. They had not the honour of saluting the Prince of Wales and his party on the Nile. At Luxor they arrived on the day of the Prince's departure, and again at Assouan they were a day behind the royal party. The very low state of the river caused frequent deten tions, both in going and returning, and the navi gation of steamers, though of very light draft, is repre sented as extremely difficult. The Duke of Sutherland in returning is said to have been detained for ten hours on a sand bank between Asiout and Mineali. The temperature all the way up was very high, frequentl3 exceeding 100 degrees ; but on returning there was a sudden and extreme change, a strong narth wind meeting the vessels, and one or two days being disagreeably cold, resembling more a bleak clay in the Scottish Highlands than the general weather of Upper Egypt. In their ascent of the river all the usual stoppages were made for the purpose of visiting the ruins of temples, tombs, and other antiquities adjacent to the Nile. The dark places were illuminated by a large supply of magnesium torches, and a sensation was created at Edfon by the burning of several torches on the summit of the lofty pylon towers of _. • . ilieini)la of that place. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS.—This EVENING. The LORD CIIANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. Their lordships this evening appointed a committee to consider the matter of improving the despatch of business between their Lordships' House and tho House of Com mons, and then went into committee on the Habitual Cri minals Bill, Earl GREY objecting to the bill without some provision in tho bill to prevent undue power being given to the police. Their lordships then adjounied. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—Tms EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. SIR S. WATERLOW. Mr. T. CHAMBERS brougLt up the report of the select committee toinquiro whether SirS.Waterlow was dis qualified from sitting and voting in that house. The com mittee reported that Sir S. Waterlow was disqualified for sitting fcr Dumfries, as ho was a Government contractor. NEW MEMBER. Mr. Mum, took the oath and his seat for Bradford. GALWAY ELECTION. The SPEAKER annouNced tlytt the judge had re ported that Sir BLuinerhztssett ani Viscount St. Lawrence were duly elected. TILE ORDER OF ST. MICHAEL. Mr. MONSELL, in reply to Mr. Itaikes, I said the order had been extended to the colonies with the authority of the Government. FENIANISM. Mr. C. FORTESCUE, in reply to Lord John Hay, said ho very much regretted the language that had been attri buted to the Rev. Mr. Shanahan, who had been reported to have expressed his sympathy for the Fenian prisoners. Thera were, however, other portions of the speech which very much mitigated the force of the portion referred to. He might term the language heedless rhetoric. (Laughter) Cardinal Cullen, had, however, warned the clergy not to receive or authorise collections fur the Fenian prisoners being made in the Roman Catholic chapels on St. Patrick's Day. BURLINGTON HOUSE. Mr. HUGESSON, in reply to Lord Ronald Gower, said the structure connecting Burlington House with Picca dilly was merely temporary. With respect to the colon nade, its ultimate destruction had not yet been de cided on. THE IRISH CHURCH. Mr. GLADSTONE, in reply to Mr. Bentiuck, said he had no means of obtaining a return of the sum of money which would be required to purchase the sites of the ecclesiastical residences under the provisions of the 27th clause of the Irish Church Bill. With respect to the value of the private endowments, it was also impossible to make a return, as the matter was so purely conjectural. THE POLICE FORCE. Mr. HUGGESON, in reply to Viscount Enfield, said it had been decided to appoint four district departments, which would obviate the necessity of officers from all parts of the metropolis coming to Scotland yard for in structions. He thought that great public convenience would result from the appointments. AGRICULTURAL LABOURERS. Mr. HUGGESON, in reply to Mr. Cartwright, said it was proposed to extend to Scotland the inquiry now going on as to the expediency of applying the principles of the Factory Act to the regulation of the employment of chil dren and young persons and women in agriculture. BANKRUPTCY (IRELAND). The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND, in an swer to Mr. F. DICK, said he did not mean immediately to introduce a bill to amend the law of bankruptcy in Ire land, but in the event of the bill fur England about to be introduced by his learned friend the Attorney-General for England being agreed to he should move its extensien to Ireland. (Hear, hear.) BEVERLEY ELECTION. The short hand writer's notes of the hearing of the petition presented against the last return for Beverley was ordered to be laid upon the table of the house. CONSOLIDATED FUND BILL. The Consolidated Fund £(8,406,27) Bill was read a third time and passed. ENDOWED SCHOOLS BILL. Mr FORSTER moved thesecond reading of this bill,the object of which was to improve and remodel the endo wed schools throughout the country. The right hon. geniis man said it was absolutely necessary some active means should be taken to carry out the intention of the founders and no longer allow them to go on in the state to which they had fallen. The right hon. gentleman read extracts from the report of the assistant commissioner who examined into the state of the endowed schools at present in exist ence. In most cases it appeared that most of the masters were in the receipt of salaries from £2OO to .C3OO per annum, and that the number of pupils averaged from one to six. In some cases tha master was absent but for a very few minutes during the day, and iu one a portion of the school was turned into a coach-house, and the large dormitory of the building was used as a billiard-room. (Laughter.) Iu one part of the country the masters in six of he schools were totally in capacitated by bodily infirmity of conducting the schools properly. Of course nearly all the masters wore opposed to any new system—(laughs r) - but he had to say that it was only those who had failed, or who did not now carryon 660 auetes of s.au , solulaster in a proper way, that need Lave any fear of the provisions of the bia. (Hear, hear.) Those who carried on good schools would find their position strengthened by it. (Hear, hear.) He thought the best way to make schoolmasters efficient was to give them a small salary, but to make the ultimate amount of the income depend upon the success, the efficiency, and the number of scholars who attended. (Hear, hear.) He lelieved it was only the way that the funds left by bane s,. lent persons for educational purposes W3lO at prose n administered that prevent persons now abstaining from devoting a portion of their wealth to purposes of educa tion. If a good and efficient system was organised he believed lorge sums would again flow in. He thought it ver y desirable to encourage day scheols—(hear)—and also to give girls their proper share of educational teaching. It was also, in his opinion, that the rich should not be allowed to go and receive all the benefits, but to obviate that hi proposed that free admission to those endowed schools should be by merit, not by payment. He thought it quite possible so as to arrange matters that the clover, but poor boy, might mount to the highest point of educa tion. (Hear, hear.) After a short discussion, the bill was read a second time. The University Tests Bill was read a second time with out adivision. The house then adjourned. BANK OF FRANCE. PARIS, March 11.

PrTICEY, 1.30 p.m. Although the absence of Mr. Mellor from the Oambridge boat has been generally looked upon as detrimental to theii chance of success, we have a contrary opinion. tlr. Still, his successor, brings with him the experience of three years' good form, and if he be not in thorough con dition, he is better a little too fleshy than too finely trained. The Cantabs went out in pairs this morning, Mr. Geo. Morrison stearing. They will take to the eight at 3.30. The Oxonians went out at 12, accompanied by Mr. R. W. Risley, their coach ; he took them on the head of low water as far as the top of the E orseshoe Bight, opposite Craven, and on their coming down against the flood the crew rowed as high as 41 strokes per minute beautifully. They eased 200 yards above the boathouses and then paddled home. The rowing w.as splendid, and, if we may particularise, that of Messrs. Benson, Finite, and Willan was very near perfection. The crew show great pace when asked to do so, and with it they combine elegance of rowing to perfection of swing, and all catch hold of the water at the right part of the stroke. SCULLERSY' RACE FOR £2OO Yesterday Mark Addy, of; Manchester, and William Sadler, of Putney, rowed their scullers' race from Putney to Mortlake for £lOO aside in outriggers. Both have ap~ peared to great advantage on previous occasions, and a very large number of poisons witnessed the contest- Addy was the favouriie at 6 to 4 ; Mr. H. Salter, the boat-builder, was referee. Addy won the toss, and went away to the lead at great pace. He was never headed, and won by several length s MARKE7 S-2 HIS DAY. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.

This is the sixth explosion in five years at this place. Four men were drowned at the Island of Lewis, near Wick, while hauling up a log of timber that had been was hed ashore. They were struck by a sea and washed away. Two bodies recovered.
