A sum of £36,000 in bar gold has been taken from the Bank for shipment to the Continent. The Marpesia, from Melbourne, has brought £20,996 . The Royal Mail steamer Shannon is announced vith West Indian mails, bringing also specie to the value of £249,765. From the Board of Trade returns it appears that the total revenue from Customs duties last year, a fter deducting drawbacks and allowances, amounted to £22,411,783, against £22,434,755 in 1 867, and £21,741,538 in 1866. The principal receipts in 1866 were—From corn, £864,097 ; Spirits, £4,333,371 ; sugar, unrefined, £5,185,072 ; tea, £2,672,980 ; tobacco, £6,578,749 ; and wine, £1 5 9 1 199 2 , . The Master of the Rolls has sanctioned the I ay cf a third dividend of 12s. in the pound to the creditors of the Breech-loading Armoury Company (Limited) —making with previous distributions 15 s. 4d. The Metropolitan Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of £2,710 over last year. At the meeting of the London General Omnibus Company (Limited) a dividend was declared at the rate o f 5 per cent per annum, free of income tax. At the meeting of the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company (Limited) the directors' report, which announced . a total payment for the rear of 10 per cent., was adopted. The annual general meeting of the North British and Mercantile Insurance Company was held at Edinburgh. A dividend and bonus, together 20s. Per share, or 16 per cent. on the paid up capital stock, was declared. The state of trade at Manchester is thus described by Messrs. Ward, Armitage, and Co., by telegram : We have a very flat market with receding prices, but few offers making, except to low to re sult in business." The arrangements for the introduction of the Turkish loan of the SJciete Generals has been com pleted with lessdelayithan. had been anticipated ; the prospectus is therefore expected to be published on Thursday. The amount will be £2,480,000 sterling in 6 per cent. bonds, at 83 (or, reckoning allowances, about 80), redeemable at par in certain Proportions in 1872 and 1873, annual revenues of large amount being specially assigned as security. At the proposed price, taking into account the periods for repayment, the bonds will give a return of 121 per cent. per annum. The subscription will be effected in London, Paris, Constantinople, and Amsterdam. The advices from Frankfort state that the resolu tion of the American Congress with regard to the redemption of the 5-20 bonds in gold has created great excitement, and been followed by a rise of nearly 4 per cent. in the course of a few days, although large amounts were thrown on the market from London and New York. Heavy buying orders poured in by telegraph from Southern Germany and Vienna, so that the aggregate transactions reached an immense amount. Indeed, all kinds of Ameri can stock, 1865, and 10-40 bonds, and even Pacific Central Railway mortgage bonds, were taken at r ising prices to any amount offered. The rage for speculation on the Vienna Bourse becomes more serious every week. The new banks start with the most extravagant projects—such as a n Austrian-Indian trading company, steamers on the Danube, tenders for army equipments, enlarg ing the Vienna streets, and a number of other things quite foreign to regular banking business ; still all new issues command a premium, and so long as this is the case every class of society will be drawn Into the vortex.

Louisa Blanch, the wife of a person in a respectable position at the East-end of the town, wh o ha been admitted to bail, and Amelia Prosser, were charged with the manslaughter of Jane Glover. It will be remembered that the prisonors, the latter of whom was servant to the other, were walking together at Mile End, when the deceased passed them and made some observations which gave offence to the prisoner Blanche, and after some altercation an attack was made upon the deceased by both the prisoners, and she was knocked down and received injuries upon the head from which she died shortly afterwards. The pri soner Blanch was admitted to bail, but she did not sur render in discharge of her recognisances. The recogni sauces of the prisoner Blanch were then ordered to be estreated, and a warrant was issued for her apprehension. THE CODERICH DIVORCE CASE. —TRIAL FOR PERJURY. Caroline Cottee, a middle-aged woman, surrendered to take her trial on an indictment charging her with havin g committed wilful and corrupt perjury in the Divorce Court. The present proceedings were now brought with the view of showing by the evidence of Mr. Goderich and Mrs. Taylor that the statements of Cottee in the Divorce Court were an entire fabrication. The case is still proceeding. POLICE IIVTELLIGENCE-77as Day. -- f THAMES. DRUNKEN CAB DRIVERS. —WiIIiam Elderfield, aged 32 years, was brought before Mr. Benson charged with being drunk during his employment as a cab driver. Thomas Geater, police-constable No. 31 11, said the pri soner was driving a horse and cab, or rather the horse was proceeding along the Figh-street, Whitechapel, by In stinct, and was not driven at all, for the prisoner, who wore the badge No. 11,322, was lying on the box dead drunk, and quite unconscious of what he was doing and whether he was running over any one or not. He took the prisoner into custody and the horse and cab to the green yard. The prisoner, in his defence, said that he had some drink given him in the City, and that his horse was sober, and took care of him and his cab. Mr. Benson ou might have run over some one. Nothing is more dangerous than for cabmen to get drunk while driving. It has been the cause of many of those deplorable occurrences in the public streets. You are fined 20s„ and in default of payment 11 days' im prisonment. Edward Ward, another cab driver, was charged with a similar offence, and ho pleaded that he had been afflicted with a fever, and that a little drink soon got over him. Mr. Benson —You had a good deal of drink, and was quite unable to manage your horse and cab, and it ap pears that you were committed to prison by Mr. Vaughan at the Bow-street Polic3-court for 14 days. That was only a month ago, and here you are again for a similar offence. You will again go to prison for 14 days. The prisoner—lt was the fever did it —pray don't send me to prison. Mr. Benson— I should be paying no respect to Mr. Vaughan's decision, if I did not send you to 14 days' im prisonment and hard labour. BRITISH FUNISN-CLOSING PRICES. • UOVER.NMENT FUNDS. * Der Cent.

CAUTION TO FARMERS. - Charles Smith, described as a butcher, of Lisrnore-circus, Haverstock-hill, and formerly of No. 22, Oxford-market, charged with stealing from Mr. James Lloyd, of No. 3, Portman-market, eggs, butter, and a quantity of goods by means of a false cheque, was again brought up. Mr. Harper, from the office of Mr. Froggatt, appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Francis Morris, of Leicester square, for the defence. Mr. Harper said he held in his hand letters from several per,ous who had been duped by the prisoner, but as they lived a long way off they did not wish to undergo any 'Luther loss, and declined to attend to prosecute. The prisoner had for years been in the habit of obtaining goods from farmers in different parts of the country, and paying for them with cheques which were not paid, and the goods were sent from his place in Oxford-market as soon as re ceived by the prisoner. The prisoner reserved his defence, and was committed for trial. Mr. Morris asked that the case might. be sent to the Central Criminal Court, but Mr. Harper objected. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he saw no reason why the case should not be tried at the sessions, without the prisoner bad a fear of seeing Sir Win. Bodkin. (Laughter.) Mr. Morris said ho did not think that was the case. The case was then ordered to be sent to the sessions. TETE SUN, LONIJON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, mAncri 3, 169.

LFROII OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, TUESDAY, Afirch 2. Lamartine and the late President of the Senate, says en Imperial decree, are to be interred at the expense of the State. It is strange that such men as the poet and historian should be taken care of only after they are dead. They are allowed to pine in a garret during life, but they become heroes directly the grave opens for them. The death of the central figure of the Revolution of 1848 has produced as much regret as anything of the kind does in Paris. It can hardly be said that the nation has sus tained a great loss, for, as M. de Girardin observes, Lamar tine has only "ceased to survive himself," but everybody is of one mind as to the place he will occupy in history.. His life and character have had an enormous influence on the destiny of his country. But for him indeed the last revolution would have been little different from the first. The Journal des Debats, in au eloquent article, mentions two facts, which are creditable both to the Emperor and the deceased poet. The Emperor, aware of M. Lamartiue's impoverished condition, offered him the Presidency of the Senate, now vacant by M. Troplong's death. The emoluments of the office, although far from inconside rable, would have been doubled, in order that he might rid himself of his embarrassments. But he declined the appointment, and then an uncondi tional offer was made to free him from his debts. This he also declined. His self-denial was honourable in each case, and the dignity of his declining years will add not a little to his lasting fame. Whilst M. Troplong was living I forbore to mention the speculations as to his successor. M. Baroche is most spoken of, and, I should think, is a very probable selection. M. Emile 011ivier's book, " Le 19 Jauiver," is, pending the cessation of the Haussmann debate, one of the prin cipal topics of talk. It is an apology, a narrative, or a review of the deputy's own doings, and is a generally egotistical production. Lovers of plain mathematical problems will find an interesting task in counting the number of times the pronoun " I" occurs in this volume. It must be excessive. The Duke and Duchess d'Aumale, says the Libero, are about to leave England. They purpose taking up their residence in Sicily, where they have a very large property. A curious story, aprorcs of the late riots, comes from the island of R6unioh. A journal entitled the Cri d'Alarme, devoted to exciting the colonists, had given much trouble to the authorities who were unable to suppress it. They could seize the copies, but could not stop the issue, for all their efforts to discover the printing-office failed. At length the police got exceptional powers to search the house of a young mulatto lawyer, whence it was suspected the paper issued. The house was searched, but nothing found. At last the cellar was dug up, andthen, and deeply buried beneath the surface, were found a printing press, and a large quantity of type. The mulatto protested his inno cence, declaring that the printing material had been there since the time of the English occupation ; but, unfortu nately for this theory, a little further search disclosed a form containing the type of the last obnoxious issue. Nantes is a prey to a horde of Thugs. These miscreants practise a form of garotting by sending a woman to accost travellers in secluded streets, and whilst the passenger is vainly endeavouring to get away from this decoy, two or three men fall upon him and pass a noose round his neck. In that position be is helpless ; he cannot struggle without running the risk of being strangled. Ire is then plundered. One of this troop has been arrested, but this check has in no way intimidated the rest. St. Nicholas is one of the greatest of saints. The popular tradition is that young ladies whose progress on the difficult and narrow way that leadeth to matrimony is not reassuring may be materially aided by the good offices of this benign saint. his virtue in this direction has been put to a most triumphant test during the last few days. A young brunette in one of the communes of Man treuil—a charming girl, with sparkling eyes an minois CllllO . Oll la—had found that the bean who was to guidd her future career was tardy in making his appeararce. Hearing of the St. Nicholas tradition, she procured a very decent statue of the lover-making saint, and set it up in her chamber. But the graven image did not prove effi cacious ; she invoked it daily, but the desired suitor, who was to be the chrysalis of a husband, did not come. One gloomy day the saint fell into complete disfavour, and in a fit of rage the brunette threw the plaster cast out of the window. Raymond, a sprightly youth of 20, was passing by, and was just in the nick of time to receive the disgraced saint upon his head. The weight was not great, and the head of Raymond was thick, but still he was rendered uncomfortable by the visitation. He took the number of the house, and soon the luckless brunette was summoned before a justice of the peace. But when Raymond beheld the defendant, he very speedil3 reflected that it would be decidedly ungallant to exact reparation from the lady ; he therefore withdrew his plaint, and the two returned to the village together. "What conversation they had on the route nobod3 knows, but it is certain this one interview was not the last.

IMPERIAL PARLIA MENT HOUSE OF COMMONS.—Tats DAY. The SI'EAKEIt took the chair at 12 o clock. The Baysw:kter Market and Baths Bill was withdrawn. Ou the motion for the second reading of the Metropoli tan Street Tramways Bin ; Mr. PEASE moved that the bill be read a second time this day six months. He did not think that the laying down of street tramways would be a benefit to the work ing class::s, and he stated that ha offered opposition to the bill entirely upon public grounds. Trials of the tram ways had been made in Victoria-street, the Bayswater road, and Westminster Bridge-road, and they were proved to be unsuited to the traffic of London. 1 I The motion was seconded by Mr. LOCK. Captain R. GROSVENOR said that that public nuisance George Francis Train—(laughter) —had rendered public tramways in London obnoxious, because he had laid down tramways i❑ such a manner that they did considerable damage to NeLicles that had to piss over them. The plan now proposed would not t.ffer any obstruction to vehicles Passing over the rails. Mr. LOCKE said the rails would monopolise a large pottion of the road, and :n sonic parts of the narrow streets it would ho found that these trams would be a great im pediment to the traffic. Mr. LAIRD said in Birkenhead there vas no complaint of damage being done to carriages passing over the rails and along the Liverpool docks a tram had been found of considerable importance, and bad not been the cause of anj inconvenience. After some further remarks a division took place, when there were— For the second reading Against Majority —l3l THE EASTER ADJOURNMENT. Mr. AYRTON gave notice that at the rising of the House on the 23d instant, the First Lord of the Trea sury would move that the House do adjourn until the Ist of April. THE SUNDAY TRADING BILL. Mr. T. HUGHES moved the second reading of this bill. and, in doing so, said the bill was similar, with the excep tion of very minor details, to that of last year. He knew that the Government were of opinion that it was time to legislate upon the subject, and he proposed that it should be referred to a select committee. Mr P. TAYLOR moved that the bill be read a second time that day six mom hs. W.O. I Dr. BRADY seconded the amendment. Mr. AYRTON expressed a hope that the house would agree to the bill being read a second time. Mr. P. TAYLOR withdrew his amendment, and the bill was read a second time. Mr. FAWCETT moved the second reading of the Elec- Cos Expenses Bill, and explained its objects, Mr. BAINES seconded the motion, and said he was anxious to s3e working men in the house, but it was im possible that could be done unless the expenses of a con tested election wore reduced. Col. BARTTELO'P strongly objected to the bill. Mr. P. 11. MUNTZ supported the bill. Colonel GILPIN did not believe the working classes would be benefited in the slightest degree by the passing of this act. Mr. J. WALTER, while b,lieving that the bill would not make more easy the return of working men to the house, did not think that the expense Lid upon the rat , s for the legal expenses of elections woultlbr , , , ak the badi of that most enduring animal—the Britiah ratepayer. Mr. FLA YER moved that the bill be read a becoud tune that day six months. Mr. W. *WILLIAMS also opposed the MP. Mr. AYRTON thought the house might with propri, ty allow the house to pass this stage, so that it might be re ferred with any other to the committee. The bill was then read a second time. On the motion of Colonel FEENCII, a select committte was appointed to inquire into the management and cost of the lunatic asylums in Ireland. Mr. BAZI.EY obtained leave to bring in a bill to amend the Lands' Clauses Conolidation Act, so fai as relates to the settlement of the costs of arbitration. Mr. S. CAVE obtained leave to bring in a bill to amend the law relating to life assurance companies. The house then adjourned at half past five o'clock. In c)nsequence of the abolition of the office of the Storekeeper-General of the Navy as a separate department, the Secretary of the Admiralty directs that tenders for articles, formerly sent to that de partment at Somerset-house, be in future addressed to the Controller of the Navy, Admiralty, White hall. THE BERMONDSEY MUTILATION CASE.—(This Day.)—Ellen Cook, the woman who was charged a Southwark Police-court on Munklay last with mutilating her husband, was taken to the hospital this morning, in order tha the man's depositions might he taken in her presence. The meeting of the Royal Horticultural Society held yesterday, was, as usual, extremely rich in orchids ; the Duke of Edinburgh rose was certainly the gem of the meeting, while, on a smaller scal.), a group of different species of primula, and a collection of spring flowers at tracted much interest. Mr. CHARLES DICKENS.—The banquet to be given to Mr. Dickens at Liverpool on the occasion of his final readings in that town has been fixed for the 10th of April next. It will be given in St. George's Hall, and the Mayor of Liverpool (Mr. A. Dover) will preside. Mr. Clarke Aspinall, solicitor (borough coroner) is honorary secretary to the banquet committee.

ACCIDENT TO LORD LEIGH.—Lord Leigh, the Lord Lieutenant of Warwickehire, met with an accident on Friday while out with the North Warwickshire hounds, and sustained a sl;glit coucus.,ion of the brain. On Satur day morning his lordship was much better, and, though advised to keep his room for a short time, there is reason to believe he will be perfectly restored to health in a few days. _ _ The Springfield Republican says :—Alvin Adams, the ex-express man of Boston, has just paid Bierstadt in Paris $20,000 in gold for one of his latest and largest paintings. A member of Congress has indiscreetly pub lished a letter from General Halo, Minister to Madrid, showing, in very forcible language, the terms upon which he stands with the Secretary of Legation, Mr. Bliss. Those named Bliss, suggestive of unutterable happiness, have at least in twolegations of the United:States caused unutterable woe. In fact, so pugnacious is.the family that they seem to find their greatest bliss in fighting. We are unable to form any opinion as yet upon the conduct of Mr. Bliss of Mr. Washburn's Legation, nor would it be right to form an opinion of Mr. Bliss of Gen. Hale's Legation, as the story of the life he led his chief comes from that chief, and was not intended, perhaps, for the public eye. General Hale's life in Madrid has been a series of indigni ties and outrages inflicted on him by his secretary, backed by Seward, whose "duplicity, brutality, and baseness" have been most marked. Nor is that all - the Secretary of State is a confederate of Bliss, and has sacrifices his country for interests in Spanish contracts. As a _specimen of Mr. Bliss' manners, this instance is given.
