It is stated by telegram that the subscriptions for the Roumanian Government Railway Loan have l argely exceeded the sum required.

The directors of the North British Railway C)111- Pally have issued a statement to their shareholders with regard to the Joint Purse Agreement with the Ca!edonian Company. They charge the Caledonian Cc waPany with not having fairly carried it out, and with having combined with the North-Western Company to injure the North British. Under the circumstances, as the Caledonian Conan)* have declared the agreement to be illegal, and " while declining to be bound by its provisions have appro pri ited to themselves its principal benefits," the directors of the North British advise their share holders do adhere to it no longer, but to take such steps as counsel may advise to recover from the Caledonian Company the " just proportion of the joint traffic receipts falling to the North British Co mpany for the ye a r t o th e 31 s t o f January, 1869 ." Meanwhile, they will not enter into coin- Petition by adopting unremunerative fares, but Rill seek on equal terms to secure their proportion of traffic. BRITISH FUNDS-CLOSING PRICES. s.

Account, May 6 93/ THE QUEEN'S IHEATRE. On Saturday a three-act adaptation of M. Sar don's play " Seraphine," by Mr. Dion Boucicault, was produced here. There seems to have been some unpleasantness between the management and his highness, the adaptor, as the following very singular announcement was made :—" Notice— Mr. Boucicault has requested the management to withdraw his name from the bills, as he does not desire to assume the responsibility of certain altera tions and additions made by the performers in the piece in his absence from all rehearsals. The alte rations considered necessary in the course of the rehearsals have been retained with the full approval of the manage:neut.—E. J. YOUNG." Tne piece under any circumstances belongs to a class that does not greatly please the metropolitan play-goers, and although it is attracting all Paris to the Gymnase, it will not have the same effect in London. Bigamy has already been over-done on the metropolitan stage, and although " Seraphine" has many other good points about it, the play i 3 one that will hardy pay the expense and labour of its production. The plot in the present instance turns upon the embarrassment of a lady, who, thinking her first husband dead, marries again, and iust as her daughter, by the second m trriage, is verging into womanhood the first husband, a n admiral, turns up, and then the desire of the despairing mother is to conceal the terrible knowledge of her second m mine from her first husband, and to prevail upon her daughter to b-- come a nun, in whi,th task she fails. Miss llet bat and Mr. Ilermac.n Vezia supported the principal parts in the play, and acted splendidly. Miss li. Hodson, a great favourite here, also played remark ably well ; so did M. Emery and Mr. C. Wyndham. But the tone of the drama did not suit the audience, and therefore its success was but very partial. There were, however, portions of the play which called forth loud applause, and although the man agement has placed it on the stage in the must complete and liberal manner, its run does not pro mise to be a long one. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT —(7hil Day). OLD COURT. Francis Burke, an Min tailor, was indicted for unlawfully and maliciously assaulting Cornelius Handley and inflicting grievious bodily harm. From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner and prosecutor were tailors, and that a short time ago they met in the neighbourhood of Smith field, a quarrel ensued, and a fight took place. On the friends of the two men interfering, the prisoner, it was asserted, hekt the prosecutor very tightly, and when he was separated from Burke it was found that his lip had been bitten off. The surgeon, at St. Bartholomew's Hospital said marks of some persons teeth were plainly visible in the wound. A city police-constable was called as a witness, but his evidence went to show that the prosecutor was not free from blame, as he had previously seen him in company with the prisoner, and heard him use very bad language to wards him. He did not think, when the men were separated, any very severe injury had been in flicted. For the prisoner it was contended that he did not inflict the injury, but that it had been done by a fall. 'lhe jury found the prisonar guilty, and the Re corder sentenced him to four months' imprisonment with hard labour. NEW COURT. The court was occupied the whole of the clay with a case of embezzlement. The prosecution of the defendants, the manager and proprietors of the " Deptford Spec," has been fixed for Thursday. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-7his Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. WANTON CitUELTY•—Henry,• Jonner, a drayman, ap peared to answer a complaint of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals with wantonly ill-using a horse. The defendant was sees by a constable in Davies-street with a horse attached to a van. He was holding the horse with his left hand and thrashing it severely for some time, and he afterwards jobbed the horse several times on the hose with the butt-end of his whip—his only reason for doing so being that, through his own carelessness, the horse had run against another. Mr. Tyrwbit; in fining the defendant 405., said the de fendant was a paltry fellow ; who because he could not put his spite on some one he ill-used the horse. THAMES. INCORRIGIBLE POT STEALER.—Sarah Murphy, an Irishwoman, was charged with stealing a quart pot value 4a., the property of Sir. Henry Page, landlord of the Coach and Horses public-house, in High-street, Shadwell. The prisoner went into the house with a baby she was suck ling. She called for half a pint of beer, and after she had drank it quietly left the house unobserved. A quart pot was missed directly afterwards, and she was followed and overtaken. A quart pot was found under her shawl, and she declared some ono had put it there, and that she know nothing at all about it. She now protested that she was innocent, and that she was a respectalle hard-working woman. Unfortunately for her assertion a police-constable, No. 408 K, said she had been repeatedly convicted of pot stealing, and on the last occasion she was sentenced to three months' imprisonment and hard labour. The Prisoner—l was innocent. Every time they swore falsely against me. This blessed baby is as inLocent us myself. Mr. Benson—The baby is not charged with robbery.

Mr. Edward Jacobs, 157, Brouipton-road, sail that pri soner was in his service as assistant florist. Prosecutor was from home yesterday, and upon his return his brother informed him that prisoner was conducting himself in a very odi way. Prosecutor demanded an explaus tion, and prisoner then said that he had sold a gentleman CB. worth of flowers on Friday and had to send change for half a sovereign received fur them on Moaday morning. 110 admitted that he had not entered it in the order book, and subsequently said that he had put it in the cash book, where it was found, evidently added _after the whole sum was reckoned up, and making an excess of Gs. All this was untiui) he had ;old the flowers and received the money yesterday. Ile was remanded on bail. THE SUN, LONDON, TIT_ESDAY EVENING. MAY 4, 1869.

In to-day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies the &Alice on the revenue estimates of 1869 commenced. Signor Ferrari stated the programme of the Pied moatese party, of which he is the leader. Its prin cipal points are—liberal Government, strict admi nistrative economy, and the firm maintenance of the national as;iration3. The mi,sion of the party of action he said had entirely ceased, and Parlia ment was now the sole source of the national strength and initiative. Count Cambray-lligny, Minister of Finance, de monstrated the necessity of a strong and compact majority for the execution of the Ministerial pro gramme. The Minister strongly insisted upon the inviolability of engagements with public creJitors. Liquidation or a conversion of the public debt would be tantamount to bankruptcy. Signor Ferrari said that it was the intention of his . party resolutely to support the Government, without, however, implying that they approved of all its past measures. He concluded by propos ing that they should pass to the order of the day, consisting of three paragraphs. The first two de clared that the Chamber is persuaded, that the nation wishes - for the greatest union and concord in Parliament in order to ensure the restoration of the finances to a sound condition by strict economy and a better organisation of taxation ; the Cham ber-is convinced that the firm maintenance of these principles will insure a national and orderly de velopment of Constitutional liberty. These two paragraphs were voted unanimously. The third paragraph was as follows :—The Chamber, hiving heard the declaration of the Mini stry, is confident that the Cabinet .will conduct the public Administration in that sense, and passes to the order of the day. On a division, this para graph was adopted by 168 ayes against 20 noes ; 77 members of the Left abstained from voting. FRANCE.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) 16102MA:7. The Belgian difficulty has at length been settled, or rather the preliminaries of settlement have been arranged. The French Government withdraws its demand for the ratification of the leases, and the Belgian Government undertakes to provide a thoroughly efficient system of international traffic. Trains arc to be run through France to Belgium in charge of French officials the whole of the way, fares are to be lowered, &c. A commission of six is to be appiinted to arrange the details. This is a clear victory for Belgium, for the Ii reach Government has shifted its ground, and given up the leases by which it set so much store. But in some quarters it is said that the Belgians arc much dissatisfied with the arrangement, and the Pays, in its blustering style, de clared that the Brussels. Senate would not ratify the treaty. But the pairc informs us that no treaty has been signed, but only a protocol, which will not require the ratification of the Senate. The Belgians seem to have thought that the negotiations ought to have been broken off without making any concessions what ever. But it is dangerous dealing in this way with a powerful neighbour like France. Assuredly M. FrZre- Orban has managed the matter well, and has in no way compromised the honour of his country. There is nothing particularly new to report respecting the elections, save abundance of not very trustworthy speculation as to the result. M. Thiers, who is a candi. date both for Paris and Marseilles, is vehemently opposed by the Government at both places. At Marseilles, as I have said before, M. de Lesseps, of Suez Canal fame, will stand in the interest of the Government, though not precisely as an official candidate. He will prove a formidable opponent. At Paris M. Tillers will be combatted by M. Devinck, a highly respectable mediocrity, who at first declined to oppose the great orator. It seems, however, that the authorities have persuaded him. The defection of the Constitutionnel is still the topic of the day, but nobody seems to know the exact motive which has led to this important going over to the enemy. One thing is certain. It is not a design of the Government to secure votes for moderate men against the ultras. That the desertion has caused the greatest irritation in administra tive spheres is attested by the most conclusive evidence. The cashier epidemic has taken rather a remarkable turn. The cashier of the Convent of Pr4montr6s, esta blished near Vilvorde, in Belgium, has absconded with all the funds belonging to the institution. It is not stated what the sum is, Lut, notw:thstanding the poverty of con vents, the affair is so serious that the Pope's Nuncio has gone to investigate it on the spot. There is yet another case of the epidemic. M. T—, agent d'affaires, receiver of rents, and steward to several considerable properties, has vanished with more than a million of francs. The Due de B—, the hero of the famous bonbon story, is the principal sufferer. He loses many thousand pounds. Another and still more serious crime is becoming alarm ingly frequent, at least in France. Scarcely a week passes without the discovery of some wretched woman who is in the habit of gaining her livelihood by the viola tion of the most sacred duty of her sex. A little while ago a case was tried in which the principal offender was a woman who regularly practised the arts of child murder and abortion. No less than six instances of one or the other offence were brought forward at the trial. When the woman was sentenced, she had the impudence to inform the court that " they did not know all." This week a mid wife, named Garet, has been tried in the Drome department for procuring abortion in the case of two young women. She pleaded not guilty, and conviction was secured only by one of her victims turning evidence. She was sen tenced to .five years' imprisonment. Cages of ordinary murder cannot be foreseen or guarded against, but this traffic in child-murder and abortion, which is clearly very common in the South of France, ought to be provided for. Salutary examples, at least, might be made of those offenders who are discovered. Hitherto comparatively light sentences have been inflicted. The velocipede is clearly destined to accomplish a social revolution. Notwithstanding Mr. Lowe's playful satire in his Budget speech, the French and Americans seem determined to supplant the horse by these machines, and even the tradition-loving Spaniard has not escaped the influence of the mania. We are now informed that the velocipedes are to take the place of horses at the Madrid bull-fights ! No doubt they will be successful in a certain sense. A charge on a velocipede is well calculated to paralyse any bull, though if the animals do manage to get over the novelty of the thing, the consequences may be awkward for the rider. But how will the Spanish spectators regard this " degra dation" of their national pastime? The weather here is remarkably hot for the season. Thunderstorms are very frequent and destructive, remind ing one of the electric visitations of last autumn. At Creullly, near Caen,' during a violent storm, a woman was struck dead, and a man and a young girl seriously injured. At Amblie the electric fluid fell on the church, and demolished the steeple and part of the roof. In the commune of Cresserons the lightning struck simul taneously a man named Laurent and his wife and daughter, all at work iu the fields. The woman was killed on the spot, the girl was sevirely wounded in the legs, and Laurent himself now lies in the last extremity.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS—This EVENING. The LOUD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the wcolsack at five o'clock. There Lordships were engaged the whole of the early part of On evening in discus -ins the merits of the S••a Birds Preservation lii 1, which eventually passed through committee, with a few unimportant amendments. HOUSE OF COMMONS.--THIS EVENING. The SPEAKER took tiro chair at two o'clock. THE RIOT AT DEUR?. Mr. C. FORTESCUE, in answer to Mr. Johnson, said he must be excused from giving any answer as to what steps the Government intended to adopt with respect to the firing of the const ,bulary on the people on the occa sion of the visit of Lis Royal highness Prince Arthur to Londonderry. THE DOCKYARD EIIIGRANTS Mr. MONSELL, in reply to Sir H. Verney, said the tax would be remitted in faveur of the emigrants, and the Governor-General would give all the facilities possible, but nothing whatever would b 3 done to benefit the dock yard artisans at the expense and comfort of others. THE ABYSSINAN WAR. Mr. CANDLISH asked the Chancellor of the Exche quer if he had ascertained, and could now state, the total cost of the war with Abyssinia which will have to be paid by tho United Kingdom? The CHANCELLOR, of the EXCHEQUER said he had stated what was the sum estimated by Mr. Turner the Government agent in India, and that it would bo recol lected was £6,800,000, but there would be charges he did not take into account. He had already stated that the total ho expected would be.£8,773,000,and from matters that had since become known, he believed, in the end, that would he pretty nearly the correct amount. THE MAYOR OF CORK. In reply to Mr. DAWSON, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he had to state that tho deplorable language attributed to the Mayor of Cork had been used by him on the occasion referred to. Before the hon. member had put the question on the paper, the Government had felt it their duty to institute inquiry into the matter. This language had been used, and whether the office of the Chief Magistrate of Cork could no Luger in consistency with dignity be longer continued in their hands, was a matter the Executive Government nor the Lord-Lieutenant could determine, as neither had power to remove a person holding the office of chief magistrate. Ile therefore gave notice that to-morrow he should ask for leave to iutro duce a hill to disqualify the present Mayor of Cork from any longer continuing to fill the office of Mayor of Cork, or indeed any other office connected with t'ae magistracy, or any other position in Ireland. (Loud cheers.) It was right to state that the Government were of opinion that this was the more necessary, because by the Municipal Charter the Mayor of Cork could sit at the next assizes of oyer and terminer. To-morrow he would state fully the law on the matter, and a7so the reasons why the bill should receive the assent of the house. With respect to the latter part of tho question as to the conduct of the people of Cork on Sunday evening, it would be most unjust to attribute the meeting to the inhabitants of the city of Cork, and it was, having regard to the num bers that attended it, unworthy any attention whatever. (Lcud cheers.) POST-OFFICE SAVINGS BANK BILL. The Marquis of lIARTINGTON moved that the order of the day for the second reading of this bill be discharged. —Agreed to. THE WHITSUNTIDE HOLIDAYS. lir. GLADSTONE said he wished to state that instead of tie di) metitioned last night he should move that ou Thursday Light week the house shoud adjourn fur a fort- THE RIOT IN DERBY. Sir P. IIEYGATE gave notice of his intention, to morrow, to ask whether it was the iutention of the Go vernment to proclaim Derry before full information cf the cause of the disturbance was received. THE HUSH CLIURCiI BILL. The house then went into committee on this Mr. WHALLEY moved an atneudineut to clause 39 the object of which was to so alter the enactment as to make it repeal the whole of the Acts of Parliament relat ing to the College of Meynooth. After a long discussion the house divided, when there appeared . For the amendment 196 Against it Majority against the amendment Mr. G'LADSToNE then moved tome other amend ments to the bill, and at seven o'clock the sAtirg of the house was suspended. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-LAST EVENING. TURNPIKE TOLLS. Mr. BRUCE Paid ho could not support the bill of the hon. momber for Peterborough, because it dealt with the subject in a fragmentary manner. THE BRITISH GRAVE,4 IN TUE CRIMEA. Mr. 0 TWA Y, in reply to ➢ir. Stopford, said the cure of the graves in the Crimea was not so satisfactory as could be wished ; if, however, the hon. member would repeat his queStion in a day or two he would see if he could give hint a more satisfactory answer. TIIE O'FARRELL TRIAL. Dir. MONSELL, in reply to Mr. Newdegate, said no direction was given by the Home Government to the Go vernment iu the colony to suppress any of the evidence taken at the trial of O'Farrell ; and with respect to the re port and evidence he did not think it would be advisable to put the country to the expense of printing the volumi nous matter. Mr. MAGUIRE said he hoped it would be borne in mind that the act of O'Farrell was an isolated one, and that he was quite unconnected with any body of persons, that in fact his crime was the result of delirium tremens, or in fact he might say of a lunatic. It was just that-this fast should be clearly made known. (Hear, hear.) THE RIOTS IN DERRY. Mr. C. FORTESCUE said the Government were giving this matter their most serious consideration. He could not that evening state any of their proceAings, as the report of the inquest had nut yet been received. THE N's HITSUNTIDE HOLIDAYS. Mr. GLADSTONE, in reply to Col. French, said the adjournment of the Louse for the holidays would in a great measure depend upon the progress of the committee on the Irish Church Bill; and, judg ing from what had all eady been done, he thought it might be possible that the committee would close with the week. He should, if that were so, take the report of it on the Thursday following, and then move that the house at its rising should adjourn juntil the Monday week. THE IRISH CHURCH. The house then went into committee on the bill, Clause 80, which made enactments with respect to mixed endowments, was agreed to; as was clause 31, which defined the limitation of the right to purchase fee simple, in consideration of perpetual rent. Clause 32 was next proposed, it dealt with the sale of the rent charge to the owners of land, and enacted that the commissioners might sell any rent charge in lieu of tithes vested iu them under the act to tho owners of land, charged herewith in consideration of a sum equal to twenty-two and a half times the amount of such rent charge. Mr. FAWCETT moved that the clause be struck out. Tho proposition was negatived without a division. Clause 37, which provides compensation for p;o7essors in the College of Belfast, was also negatived without a division. Clause 38, enabling the commissioners to commute the annuities of NoacJnformist ministers and professors at Belfast, was agreed to. The house then resumed, and the orders of the day hav ing been disposed of, afterwards adjourned. COURSE OF EXCHANGE.

She showed a light, and iinmediate:y the Caister beachmen went off to her in the Boys' lifeboat of the Naiioull Life boat Institution. The boat behaved well, and her crow had some dangerous work with her to get to the ship amidst the breakers. On. of them was severely bruised by an oar being driven against him. The vessel is between 700 and 800 tons, and lies dry at low water. The master - lost his course, and got bewildered, not knowing -where he was, and ran the ship ashore in his bewilderment. This lifeboat was some time since generously presented to the institution by the subscribers to Routledge,s Magazine for ,` Boys. 501 7O THIRD EDITIOA NOTICE.
