It is believed that the most part arranged was of a speculative kind, and that the easiness of rates for money has enabled stock to be temporarily placed. The committee on the London, Chatham, and Dover Bill has been again adj ourne d t ill Tuesday There is reason to apprehend that although among the 17 firms of solicitors engaged in the affair something like a unanimous desire is now professed to secure a general arrangement, t his, as regards a few of the number, merely springs from a sense of the public odium likely to be incurred by any one who might openly appear to be actuated by professional greed.

A consignment of 10,500 tins of mutton, pre pared by the Melbourne Meat Preserving Com pany, arrived in the ship Red Jacket, from Mel bourne. A prospectus of a Dutch Railway Loan for Java has been issued in Amsterdam. The nominal amount is 11 ,000,0001, in bonds of 1,0001 or 500 d., bearing 4f per cent. interest, and the sub scription price is 95 per cent. The total is reim bursable at par in 35 years by annual drawings, and both interest and principal are guaranteed by the Dutch Government. The subscriptions are to be received to-morrow (Friday), Saturday, and Monday, in Amsterdam, Brussels, and Antwerp. A dividend of 28. in the pound is announced for the creditors of the National Provincial Marine In surance Company. It is stated that great surprise is felt in Prussian commercial circles at the postponement of the pro posed reduction in the rate of postage between Prussia and England. Prussia has not only esta blished a penny post for the whole of Germany and Austria, but recently concluded postal treaties with the United States, Italy, Sweden, and Holland, to which countries letters can now be forwarded at very moderate rates. The postage for letters from Prussia to England, however, still remains at the high rate of 6d. (or 5 groschen) the /oz., if sent via Ostend, an exception existing in favour of letters sent to England from towns in the Rhenish Prussian provinces, which letters, if directed via Calais, and weighing ioz., are only charged 3/ groschen (4d.) The anomaly is also complained of that a letter (}oz.) sent via Calais from Cologne to London costs 3/ groschen (about 4d.), while a letter of the same weight (ioz.) despatched from London via Calais to Cologne is charged in Eng land 6d. The Neue Freic Preis states that the conversion of the Austrian National Debt into the new Rentes i s proceeding with unexpected rapidity, and that it is calculated the total conversion will be completed within four months. The Govern ment estimate that after a given time they will duly pay the coupons of the new Rentes. The adjourned meeting of the Van Diemen's Lan d r Comp any is to be held on the 22d inst.

LAURENCE OLIPHANT. -- --w - wrAitesN:r" I Y ie o r r e k cocmorersespaocinudeeenr story t f be Sts from th e li tt l e village of Brocton, in the western part of thi s S tate, about a religious scholastic ot ,allt c h o ew m a a y n community' of 200 per6ons, among whom are Mr. Laurence Oliphant, until recently a member of the British Parliament for Stirling,' and his charming wife. The community in question owes 1,000 acres of " fine farming and grape-growing land,' near Lake Erie, and was established two years ago by Mr. T. L. Harris, formerly secre tary of th e U n i te d States Legation in Japan. He purchased several f arms, and put things in order, and then gathered together a colony of 25 families, ' who were agreed that the old apostolic plan was best, where the multitude mho believed were of one heart and of one soul, and had all things in com mon' —except their wives and children. In the Harris community, it is said, things are very lovely. The association is formed upon the principle of spiritual affinity, upon which principle communities exist in [-leaven ;' and the cultivation of the land is held subordinate to this idea,' so that more is thought of ' a holy life and conversation' than a well ploughed field or a carefully tended crop. Never theless, the main chance is looked after, and not only are ' former social distinctions merged into one common brotherhood, but every man takes his shovel and his hoe, his sickle and pruning hook, and works with a wi 11.' The result is that a' little para dise is springing up in their minds ;' and for this Eden Mr. Laurence Oliphant, until recently a member,' &c. has exchanged the best club in Lon don. It seems that during Mr. Harris's residence in Japan, Mr. Oliphant was also there as a secre tary to the British Legation ; and that the American diplomatist converted the Englishman, so that, when the community was established, he hastened to cast in his lot with it. He was, at the time, a member of the House ; and if the story from which I am quoting is entirely correct, ' his sudden departure and voluntary exile created a great sensation in England.' The bereaved con stituency of Stirling, it is added, were so unwilling to lose his services, that, even after he had taken up his abode in the community, he received letters from them, to the effect that ' he was still looked upon as their member;' but ' he quietly wrote out his resignation as English legislator, and for warded it to London.' Although ' all social dis tinctions' in the community are abolished, still it appears that some special honour is paid to the ex- English legislator,' since he is not only ' the cashier and business agent of the community,' but ' close by the bluff of the lake an elegant cottage has been erected for the residence of Mr. Oliphant and his family,' in which abode ' neat a n d everything is pl a i n , , be autiful, without affectation, and indi cates the controlling hand of the Christian English lady. Perhaps you do not care to know that in personal appearance and stature Mr. Oliphant is tall and slender, but withal of commanding figure, large forehead, and expressive blue eyes ;' but you cannot be wholly indifferent to the fact that Mrs, ' Oliphant is a very charming woman, fall o f grace and politeness, and that, dresses plainly but neatly.' like her h us b and, ' she COURSE OF EXCHANGE.

The Bombay papers emphatically affirm that the Duke of Argyll has ordered the agency of the Bank of Bengal to be removed from this Presidency. SPAIN. MADRID, April 15 (Evening.) In to-day's sitting of the Cortes, Senor Balaguer asked the Government whether it were true that France had taken the Carlist movement under her protection. General Prim replied in the negative, adding that the movement would certainly be suppressed. The debate on the Constitution was then re sumed. An amendment of Senor Orense to the preliminary article of the Constitution, prejudging the question of the form of Government, was re jected. The first Article was agreed to after re placing the word " monarchy " by the word " nation." The Directive Committee of the ma jority has resolved to postpone the decision on the question of the form of Government until a more opportune time. ITALY. FLORENCE, April 15.

Up to yester day the total length manufactured was 3,033 nauti cal miles—namely, 2,314 miles of the section in tended to be laid between Brest and St. Pierre, and 716 miles of the section between St. Pierre and the United States. only 474 miles of the former sec tion and 57 of the latter remain to be completed. The whole length of the core for both sections has been finished to-day at the Gutta Percha Works. The Great Eastern has taken on board 1,150 miles of the first section, and the steamer Scanderia 450 miles of the second section. STATE OF 71L1DE. MANCHESTER, ihursday, April 15.—N0 increase of demand has occurred to-day, and buyers have made but few inquiries. Prices, however, continue pretty steady on the whole, although the advance asked in the beginning of the week is seldom pro curable, and in order to do business sellers have bden obliged to modify their extreme quotations. The sale made auring the week so far appear to be about equal to the production. BIRMINGHAM, Thursday. —The business through out the week has been of little moment in any de partment of the iron trade of this district. Finished iron is difficult to sell in other than very small lots ; and the recent suspensions in the cotton and wool len districts are exercising an unfavourable influ ence. Iron required to make repairs is in fair request, but there is very little new work calling for supplies. BRADFORD, Thursday.—There is a more cheerful feeling pervading the market this morning. The brighter weather and the absence of rumours of failures tend to reassure and to create general con fidence. The business doing, however, has nat im proved in any appreciable extent. In some instances there is perhaps rather more disposition to buy, and some slight transactions have been the result. All good lustre wools still command full rates, and half-bred and south-down wools have suf fered no abatement in price. Stocks are small, and there is an impression that the next clip will generally be lighter and inferior in quality as compared with the last; and this tends to give firmness to quotations. Ths worsted yarn trade still continues in a languid condition. The result of the Leipsic fair, so far, does not afford any promise of an impetus being given to the de mand for worsted yarns. Export merchants buy very sparingly, and all classes of spinners find it difficult to obtain orders. Stocks are accumula ting, and almost anything required may be had from stock. If anything, there is rather more in quiry for lustre yarns on home account, and more disposition to do business. Prices are generally very firm ; instances of concession are rare, and when that is the case, it is extremely slight. In pieces the fine weather has tended in some measure to accelerate business in the home warehouse. Stocks of light fabrics are be ing slightly reduced, and merchants are more disposed to place orders for autumn, though operations are far from being general. Rather more business has also been done for France and Germany. The trades for America and the East continue almost as languid as ever. Prices are nominally without change, though a slight conces sion may be obtained in some instances. LEICESTER, Thursday. —The wool market is still very quiet. Buyers having some time since laid in moderate stocks are, in the absence of any feature likely to change to change the aspect of the mar ket, quietly waiting before they commit themselves to further engagements. Yesterday Major-Gen. Lysol's, C. 8., inspected the 2d battalion 6th Regiment on the regimental parade, at Aldershot. The battalion, which was under the command of Colonel Elkington, dis played great steadiness under arms, and acquitted himself to the entire satisfaction of the Major- General.

Mr. Humphreys followed her, and intimated to her that she had taken some pork chops and concealed thorn undcr her dress. " Oh dear, no," said the widow. "Oh dour, yes," replied Mr. Humphreys, who relieved her of the chops, and at the same time took from her a largo hand of pork, which she had stolen from the shop of a neighbouring butcher, who received it and took it home. The widow said she was a poor lone woman, anl could not make out what induced her to remove the pork chops; she was ♦ery sorry, indeed, very sorry ; it was quite a mistake. The Magistrate—You are very fond of pork, Margaret Butterworth. You steal a large hand of pork from one shop and pork chops from another—two mistakes in a few minutes —and you had more than 7s. about you. This is not a case of distress. A police-eonstable—Three shillings and a penny was a he money she had. The Magistrato —On the police-skeet it is written, money found on the prisoner Gs. 6,1. in silver and 9!d. it copper. This is another mistake to which you will call the inspector's attention. As for you, Margaret Butter worth, for the mistakes you have committed, you must undergo the discipline of the House of Correction at West minster for two mouths, there to be kept to hard labour.

DEEP SEA HERRING FISHING BUSSES.--Dutch fishermen have been long known to excel all other fisher men for capturing, gutting, bleeding, and curing herring on board of their vessels, called busses, at sea. The further north that herrings are taught when on their passage from the Arotic regions to our shores to deposit their spawn, the fatter, firmer, and richer the fish are in quality. The Dutch fishermen, being aware of that fact, fit out large decked busses and equip them with fishermen, fishcurers, coopers, barrel staves, and salt for curing fish. They proceed to Shetland in the month of June, and there they meet with the large shoals of herring that arrive every autumn at our shores from the North Seas. The first im portations into the continental markets of these herrings, caught and cured ou board of Dutch busses at sea, fetch not unfrequeutly ,L 2 E per barrel. The Dutch eat this de scription of cured herrings raw as a luxury. Mr. 11. Dempster, of deep-sea fishing notoriety, has been em ployed latto, ly interesting the Government wits► the true importance of the deep-sea herring-fishing question, with the view that they will take the :natter up and recommend to the country the building and equiping deep-sea herring fishing busses, to prosecute that fishing upon principles similar to the Dutch.

SMOKING IN RAIL WAY CARRIAGES. On the further consideration of the Metropolitan Rail way Bill, Mr. SHERIDAN moved the inssrtion of the following clause :—" Notwithstanding any provision in the Regula tion of Railways Act, 1868, the company shall provide smoking carriages for each class of passenger travelling by the said railway." A discussion arose, in which it was said that of all rail ways the Metropolitan was the one on which smoking ought to be allowed. The sulphureous effluvia encoun tered at the Gower -street and Baker-street stations was most offensive, and the smoking would greatly counteract the choking and stifling atmosphere that was so loudly complained of. Railway directors always objected to smoking, and they cared little about the general con venience although they always paraded their endeavours to consult it. Tho accommodation for smoking was offered by all other railways but the Metropolitan, and it was the opinion of a great many members that such faci lities should be given by the directors of that railway. The house divided, when thep appeared— For the clause Against it Majority in favour of the clause —8 THE NEW LAW COURTS. 175 167 Sir R. PALMER gave notice that ho should move an amendment to the motion of the hon. member for Galway, to the effect that it was desirable that the new law courts should be proceeded with as quickly as possible upon the site set out in the bill (Carey-street) authorising their erection. OBSTRUCTION IN THE THAMES. Mr. BRIGHT, in reply to Mr. G. Gregory, said the pilings in the river near Charing-cross and Westminster bridges were a portion of the works of the Whitehall and Waterloo railway, which had received an extension of time for the execution of its works until the year 1870. No person, therefore, had power to interfe r e with those obstructions until the July of next year, when doubtless some action would be taken either by the Board ofiTrade or Conservators of the river. THE NATIONAL GALLERY. Mr. LAYARD, in reply to Dr. Brewer, said the Ns tional Gallery would be re-opensd to the public on Mon day week. INCLOSURES. Mr. BRUCE said he was unable to ;lay upon the table the terms which the Commissioners of Woods and Forests exact from the commoner! in all enclosures where the Crown is lord of manor, because the terms varied very considerably according to the particulars of eacti case. POOR RATES. Sir G. JENKINSON asked the Frst Lord of the Trea sury whether he would undertake to legislate at once on the subject of local taxation so that a remedy might be provided for the unequal mode of levying poor rates. Mr. GLADSTONE said it was not then in his power to legislate at once on the subject referred to by the hon. member. Mr. NEWDEGATE said ho begged to remind the Prime Minister that there were other things besides the Irish Church question that the people of England thought required consideration. Ife believed that although the honourable inzbiLs ht i , t i t s i e n t g he o y n the h e i s l ( f u ini r s . t N er o i w al de b g e a n t c e h ,B 7 he majority of the people of England— shiad,3l (oh, oh, and nughter)--and that they had arig h ttohave other matters of importntice has des t he Irish Church dis cussed in that house, and, according to his opinion, the one submitted by the bun. baronet was one that called for im mediate attention just as much as the motioarNovuhgiicht the P r ime Minister seemed bent upon hurryi ng Par liament.
