MADAME TUSSAUD'S. But for this celebrated exhibition Baker-street would be a t erra incognita to the large majority of the denizens of tile modern Babylon, and live only in the recollection of our provincial cousins through legends of the glories of the great cattle show in times gone past. But whilst Madame Tassaud continues her exhibition, and it now appears to have become a settled institution, Baker-street will now be a shrine of popular pilgrimage, for where else can we see the presentiments of so many that have been great and good (to say nothing of that peculiar chamber wherein the greatest villains' of the century are immortalised), in the habits in which they moved and had their being? Hera We have a right royal gallery from the time of the Conquest to the present day ; whilst the dresses and accessories aro always fresh and ever new, it being one of the secrets of the proprietors of this exhibition that whatever they touch ever fades. THE OXFORD AND C ANTERRURY HALLS shared with the theatres the public patronage of Easter Abn daY• At the Oxfo r d th e o p era ti c se l ec ti on s, conducted by Mr. Jonghma,ns, were much applauded, and the other branches of the entertainment met with the usual welcome. "Hodge Podge," the optical illusion which has been pro visionally constructed to mean a " stage play," is still per formed at the Canterbury Hall, shorn of the characteristics which marked it out for attack, but retaining all its Picturesqueness and scenic beauty. ALHAMBRA. The varied a tt rac ti ons o f t hi s now very p o p u l ar esta blishment. brought a l arge a s s em bl age w ithin the splendid budding which has been so brilliantly redecorated. The operatic, choregraphic, and gymnastic entertainments, which follow each other in such rapid succession, ap peared to afford unqualified satisfaction to the throng, and the c ombination of the creature comforts with the musical and miscellaneo us amusemen t s seeme d f ar f rom di s t as t e f u l to the majority. TIONEY MARKET COMMERCIAL UNTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. In the general discount market there is very little activity, the inquiry for money being small, and the s upply very abundant. The rates for the best bills continue at 3i 4 per cent. Onl y £3,000 in gold was taken .into the Bank yesterday. The dir ectors of th e C ommerc i a l B an k Corpora tion of India and th e E ast h ave, i n an ti c i pa ti on o f the meeting to be held on the 26th inst., declared a dividend for the six months ended the 31st of December at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum. Subjoined are extracts from the report of the directors of the Credit Foncier and Mobilier of England, issued last evening : "In handing to the shareholders a balance-sheet showing the position of the company's affairs, the directors have to opera tions, congratulate them.on th e resu lt s o f th e half-year's By the figures in the statement annexed it will be seenthat the great exertions made during the past half-year have not been without commensurate results, the balance of profit and loss account showing a net sum available, after p a ying all charges and expenses during the past half-year, of £ 3 94,024 16s. 4d. It will be seen, however, that in this large amount is included the sum of £40,000 received from the old Credit Mobilier and Credit Foncier Companies (beillg their reserve funds), and the sum of £160,296, the amount of premiums received on the issue of the new shares of this company, making together the sum of £200,996,1eav f0g, therefore, £123,728 16s. 4d. as the net sum earned by this company during the six months just elapsed. While Meeting the just expectations of the shareholders in the amount of the dividend which the directors recommend should be declaredat the ensuing meeting, they have promi nently borne in mind that there is no way so sure of main taining and augmenting the scale of profits as that of com manding publi c con fid ence, b y the formation of a large re serve fund ; they therefore have decided to appropriate £200,000 to that purpose. In fixing the dividend at is. per share on the £5, and ss. per share on the £2 10s. paid, equal to 20 per cent. per annum, the directors believe they have placed it at such a rate as may fairly be counted upon as a minimum dividend. They further have decided that in every half-year, when the profits will admit of a larger dis tribution, such increase should be made in the shape of a bonus, which, in the present instance, is fixed at the same amount as the dividend, thus making a distribution equal to 20 per cent. per annum on tho amount of capital paid up. To further show their groat desire to ensure the results of the minimum dividend of 20 per cent. per annum being always maintained, they have decided to form a fund, to be called the dividend reserve fund, such fund to be always kept at the amount necessary to pay one year's dividend of 20 per cent. per annum on the capital for the time being paid up. This Will require on the paid-up capital of £.500,000, viz., the sum of £lOO,OOO, towards which the directors have, out of the profits of the present half-year, carried the sum of £70,000, and they propose to complete the fund out of future earnings. The effect of this will be practically to Make our shares a minimum 20 per cent. stock, and the action of the fund will be as follows, viz.:—lf in any half- Year after the sum necessary for one year's dividend on the capital paid up is reached, the profits exceed 20 per cent.

The directors further have decided to dis charge the whole of the amount of the preliminary expenses incurred by thi s company, viz. :—£7,183 16s. 9d. ; they also b uiltl k it well t o Write off the item standing to the debit of 1111d Mg, office furniture, and fittings account, £8,457 7 7 4 8. . 3 d., and there w ill st ill remain a sum of £34,600 10s. t o be carried forward to the next half-year's profits." The following circular has been issued this afternoon : " London and Brazilian Bank (Limited), " 2, Old Broad-st ree t, E.G. 4 , Sir,---The directors have much sati s f ac tio n i n i n f orm i ng their s hareholders that they have, subject to their approval, co ncluded a provisional arrangement with Messrs. Maua and c o., for an amalgamation of the large and important busi ness, including theprivilege of issue of bank notes at Mont e V ideo River Plate, with the business hitherto carried on by this bank. "The amalgamation will be effected by moans of the in corporation of a new joint-stock bank, with limited liability, havin g a nominal capital of £5,000,000 sterling, in 250,000 shares of £2O each, one half of w hi c h i s to b e paid up. Of the 250 , 000 shares, 150,000, with £lO per share paid up, will be allotted to Messrs. Maua and Co., in exchange for cash or approved securities to that amount, and the remaining 100,000 shares will be placed at the disposal of this bank. " Tho proposed amalgamation will take effect as from the let January, 1866, after which date neither of the two banks will carry on business on their ovrn account. " The management of the new bank will be constituted by the present board of directors of the London and Brazi lian Bank, joined by the Baron de Maua, the senior partner in the firm of Messrs. Maua and Co. _" The directors propose to call together their share holders at an early date for the purpose of considering the mode of raising the amount of capital which will form the contribution of this bank to the amalgamated undertaking.

The Moniteur gives the following report of the discussion raised in the French Chambers by M. Pelletan, who moved an amendment on the address, expressing sympathy with the United States : M. EUGENE PELLETAN—In the present stage of the de bate I should be very cruel to the assembly, and still more cruel to myself, if I were to make a speech in extremis on the death-bed (as I fear it will be) of our last amend ment. (Laughter.) The speech from the throne passed over America in silence ; your draft address maintains the same reserve ; the yellow book itself contains on this subject nothing but a pure white page. Now, it seemed to us that the American question was one of sufficient importance to be treated of otherwise than by reticence. However, there is now no occasion for discussion, because while I am speaking to you the news arrives that the victorious swords of Grant and Sherman have settled the question. Richmond is taken. (Interruption.) A Voice—So much the worse. M. Pelletan—The pro-slavery rebellion is crushed, and the American Republic is restored in all its majestic unity. (Further interruption.) President Schneider—Gentlemen, by your interruptions you only lengthen the speech. M. Pellatan—Do not murmur so loud, I conjure you they may hear us on the other side of the Atlantic. (Ex clamations and noise.) Several Voices—Make an end of it. M. Pelletan—For the last four years North America has borne the burden of the most terrible civil war that over ravaged a nation, and during the whole course of this cruel trial she never for a single instant entertained the idea of suspending liberty. (Ah, ah.) She never dreamed of in voking the principle of public safety, or opening that door through which all political crimes make their way. But more ; it has renewed its executive power under, we may almost say, the fire of the enemy, and that without violence and without disturbance—(interruption)--and it has done this so orderly and calmly that this page of American his tory is the page of honour of the 19th century. (Confused and increasing noise.) M. Pelletan—President Lincoln—(Cries of " Divide, divide.") Other Voices—Ffear the speaker. M. Pelletan—President Lincoln felt that he held the fate of the New World in his hands, and he lifted up his heart to the height of its destiny ; he has abolished slavery —(redoubled cries of " Divide")--and he has restored the glorious American republic. ("Divide, divide" —confused and tumultuous noise.) A Member—Enforce silence, Mr. President. President Schneider—Let the speaker try to get a hearing. Gamier Pages—lf people would only listen, the speech would have been done by this time. Several Voices—Divide ! M. Schneider—l cannot deprive M. Pelletan of his right to go on. It is for the Chamber to listen—(exclamations) —but, at the same time, it is for him to speak in such a way as to induce his auditors to hear him. M. Pelletan—The President asks a miracle of me which lam not able to work. It did appear to mo, that wherever in the world anything great and noble was done, France was present and an approving party; and I would that my voice this day could be heard on the other side of the Atlantic with an address of congratulation to the Presi dent of the United States.—(Tumultuous exclamations of dissent.) I cannot struggle against your determination not to hear me, and I shall sit down. On a division, M. Pelletan found his amendment supported by 24 votes.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET , EASTER MONDAY.—Several persons were brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt this morning charged with being drunk and disorderly, &c. Where the offence charged was only that of being drunk, the magistrate discharged the persons, but in the other.cases imposed light fines, taking into conside ration that it was holiday time. One man, named Edward M'Sweeney, in addition to being charged with being drunk and disorderly, was also charged with wilfully breaking two alabaster vases, of the value of £2, and other articles, at the Queen's Head, Little Pulteney-street, the property of Mrs. Harriet Scott, the landlady. It appeared that M'Sweeney went into the house while in a state of intoxi cation, interfered with the customers, and at last got fight ing with ono of the customers for the love of the thing, but while fighting broke the vases, &c.—The prisoner said he had taken " the dhrops," and that the damage was done in a fight.—Mr. Tyrwhitt ordered him to pay the damage, and fined him £l, or a month in default. A MISTRESS CHARGED WITH ASSAULTING HER SERVANT. —Augusta Martin, who described herself as the keeper of a "lodging house," at No. 12, Hampstead-street, Fitzroy square, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting Ann Purcell, a young woman, her servant. Mr. E. Dillon Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared for the prisoner. The prosecutrix said she lived as servant with the pri soner, who kept a " gaming-house " at No. 12, Hampstead street. Yesterday evening she wanted to leave, having given the.prisoner notice, when she refused to let her do so, and flew at her, tore her hair out, bit both her hands, and then blackened her eye. There were three or four persons attacking her at one time, including the gentleman who visited the prisoner. She became insensible, and when she recovered found herself locked in the back kitchen• She afterwards gave the prisoner into custody. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the young woman said the house was a brothel. In reply to Mr. Lewis, the prosecutrix said her sister and brother called for her yesterday, and she could not get out of the house. She was not intoxicated yesterday, although she had a little gin. The prisoner sold bottled ale, spirits, &c., as she kept a public-house in King-street, Regent street. She knew Amy Stanley, one of the "lady" lodgers. She told the constable the prisoner had assaulted her. I refused to let her have her things. Henry Green, a young man, proved hearing cries of "murder" from No. 12, and carrying the prosecutor in an exhausted condition out of the house, having seen the prisoner and three or four others pulling her about. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the witness said the parties in the house appeared to be preventing the prosecutrix leaving. He thought the prosecutrix was sober. Margaret Purcell, prosecutrix's sister, said she saw her sister covered with blood, and she saw somebody had struck her. Her sister was then lying in the back kitchen. Afterwards, on getting into the passage, three of them seized her sister, and the prisoner had her hand in her sister's hair, and in getting her away, she (witness) had her clothes torn. In answer to Mr. Lewis, the witness said that she could not say whether her sister had been drinking or not, but she was very excited. Stephen Lock, 43 E, proved being called to the house and taking the prisoner into custody, the prosecutrix showing him marks on her arms, where she said her mistress had bitten her. The prosecutrix had been drinking, but was not drunk. Mr. Lewis addressed the magistrate on the prisoner's behalf, and said that he could not deny that an assault had been committed, but not to the extent the prosecutrix, —who, he was instructed, was intoxicated and attacked her mistress—had stated. Amy Stanley was then called, and she said that the pro. secutrix attacked Mrs. Martin first. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he had no doubt there was a grand shindy, and that the prosecutrix received her injuries at her mistress's hands. There had been a great deal of vio lenco and cruel indifference, just such as ono might expect from the landlady of such a house.

BRUTAL AND UNPROVOKED ASSAULT.—Patrick Lynch, a big Irishman, was charged with the following brutal and unprovoked assault : Timothy Sullivan, an Irishman, who hawks fruit about the street, said that on the previous evening he was in Sloane-street, Chelsea, with his barrow, when the prisoner and two other Irishmen came along. Prisoner stopped in front of him, and using very bad language called him a Methodist and a parson. In order to get rid of prisoner he went round his barrow, but prisoner followed him up, and repeatedly struck him. He ran away, followed by prisoner, who caught him twice and brutally used him, cut ting both his ears and lips, and blackening his eye. He was quite sober, and gave no provocation whatever. A witness was called who corroborated this statement in every particular, and described prisoner's conduct as most cowardly. Prisoner denied the charge, and said he never struck the man at all ; that the prosecutor came and abused him and followed him round the street, and finally threw a large stone at him, which he had when taken into custody. It was proved that prisoner picked up the stone to throw at somebody, and was in the act of doing so when given into custody. Two witnesses gave a similar account to prisoner of the transaction, and said that he did not strike prosecutor, but that they took him away to prevent his doing so. Both, however, said that blood was flowing from prosecutor's mouth and ears, but thought that lie might have caused it himself. He was fined 20s. or 14 days. THAMES. Pumous DRIVING IN THE Bow ROAD.—Heinrich Brain mar or Brawnier, aged 29, a native of Holstein, and dwell ing at No. 64, St. George-street, better known as Rateliff Highway, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with being drunk and furiously driving, to the denger of pas sengers in the Bow -road. James Clark, a police-constable, No. 199 K, said in con sequence of the continued furious and reckless driving of persons in charge of horses and vehicles in the Bow-road, and the numerous accidents that had taken place, he was stationed in the road on horseback. There were two other mounted constables in the road. The prisoner was driving a pony and cart. The horse was galloping, and the pri soner, who was drunk, was whipping it. The conduct of the prisoner endangered the lives of foot passengers, and there was also danger of collisions with other vehicles. The prisoner was trying to pass another cart—in fact he was racing. Mr. Paget—ln a public road ? Witness—Yes, sir, the furious driving on that road is fearful. I have been put out on special duty there. Inspector Griffin, of the K division, confirmed the state ment of the constable as to the state of the Mile-end and .Bow-road. Furious driving was very prevalent, and many persons had been killed. A green grocer, named Stone, while drunk, run down an old man in the Mile-end-road, and killed him on the spot. A man named Wm. Amos, cowkeeper, of No. 2, Oxford-terrace, Cubitt-town, Poplar, killed a child named Keenan; while driving furiously and recklessly close to Bow Church, on Friday last, and was now under remand by Mr. Partridge, who heard the case. A class of rough tradesmen, who were regardless of the lives and limbs of people, drove recklessly. Everybody tried to pass everybody, and the danger was very great. Mr. Paget asked at what pace the prisoner was driving his pony and cart ? Clark-12 knots an hour, sir. The prisoner said he only went as fast as the cart before him and the cart behind him, and he did not drive furiously. He called two foreigners, who said they did not know why the police locked up the prisoner. Mr. Paget said that public attention had been called to furious and careless driving in the streets, and the number of persons who had been killed or maimed in the streets of the metropolis. The prisoner was intoxicated, and ought not to have been driving at all. It was a bad case, and he should inflict the full penalty of 40s. for furious driving. The fine was paid.

On the removal of the cloth the loving-cup was passed round the board, and then the LORD MAYOR gave in succession " The Queen," "The Prince and Princess of Wales, with the rest of the Royal Family," and " The Army and Navy and the Volunteers." General Sir FREDERICK SMITH responding to the toast of the Army and_ the Volunteers, said at no time had he known the British army in a more efficient state than at present, and he spoke from long experience of it. It was not, he said, an army of aggression, but of defence, and it would be at all times willing and able to perform its duties. The Army was in the highest state of efficiency in all its departments, and whether it was called on to defend our interests at home or abroad the country might rely on its being equal to the work. Adverting to the Volunteer movement, he said he felt confident from the first that it would be a great success, and the events of that day at Brighton he had no doubt would afford additional proof of the general effi ciency of the force. It now consisted of 150,000 men, and he for one, as an old officer, should be as much at home with the Volunteers as with the regular army. They were men of more intelligence than ordinary soldiers, and having besides, in the majority of cases, property, wives, and families to protect, more efficient service was expected from them. Some years ago it became often a question whether we should be attacked by a foreign Power, but that question was settled at once and for all by the establishment of the Volunteer force. If our colonies should be attacked he felt confident we should be in a position to defend them, and while Canada remained loyal it would be a great disgrace to this country if it were to neglect to defend them. Admiral Sir FREDERICK NICOLSON, speaking for the Navy, said its chief duty was to protect the com merce of the country. However much opinionsmight differ as to the number of ships we ought to have, or as to whether there were certain dependencies of this country that ought to be retained, or certain colonies that ought to be defended, we were all united in thinking that it was of great advantage to the country that its commerce should be ex tended, and that it was the paramount duty of the Navy to defend that commerce wherever it might be. The LORD MAYOR next proposed the " Health of the Bishop of Carlisle," as the preacher of the Spital sermon of that,. day, taking occasion to speak of him as a laborious parish priest before he was raised to the dignity of the episcopate, and as an ornament of the Church to which he belonged. The Right Rev. PRELATE, in acknowledging the compliment, dwelt upon the advantages likely to arise from the Bishop of London having thrown open the dome area of St. Paul's Cathedral for Divine service on Sunday e v e n i ngs , an d thereby in a sense revived the services which, in ancient times, were accustomed to take place at Paul's Cross. Sir G. BOWYER, M.P., speaking to the toast of " The House of Commons," which had been given from the chair, said, speaking in that hall, devoted to hospitality, he could not forget that the constitu tion of the city of London was more ancient than that of Parliament. That constitution presented to the world the illustrious example of those municipal liberties which had been in all history the germ of political liberty, and without which our political liberty would indetd be insecure. He could safely say that if ever and whenever the privileges or the constitution of the city of London should be attacked in any way in the Home of Commons, whether by a powerful Government or the chief of a party, that house would be always ready to maintain its liberties and protect its privileges with no less zeal than it would to maintain the privileges of Parliamentitself. "The Health of the Lord Mayor" was next given by the Bishop of CARLISLE, who in doing so dwelt upon the services which his lordship had rendered during many years of his life before he was elected to the civic chair in promoting education, home mis sions, and the objects of the Pastoral Aid Society. The LORD MAYOR next gave in succession, "The City Magistrates," connecting with the toast the name of Mr. Alderman Sidney, M.P. ; Th e Sheriffs of London," for whom Mr. Sheriff Beslcy answered ; and " The Presidents of the Loyal Hos pitals," for whom Mr. Gilpin, the Treasurer of Christ's Hospital, responded. The company next drank to the health of the Lady Mayoress, which was proposed by Alderman Sir R. Carden, and with that the company separated about half-past ten o'clock: A selection of vocal music was sung at intervals by Madame Weiss,- Miss Julia Elton, and Mr. W. H. Weiss, under the direction of Mr. J. L. Hatton; and the band of the Coldstream Guards played a number of choice airs during dinner. THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLocK.

RIOT AT THE ROCHDALE ELECTlON.—Yesterday two Irishmen, named Patrick Roy and Richard Moran, were brought up at the Rochdale Police-court, charged with rioting, with about 150 other persons, and assaulting Superintendent Pickering, of the county consta bulary; Inspector Richmond, of Manchester ; and Inspector Bent of Prestwich. Chief Constable Sylvester said that on Saturday morning, between twelve and one o'clock, information was received at the police-office that there was a riot in John-street. Superintendent Pickering, ac companied by Inspectors Richmond and Bent, went to the scene and found there a mob of about 150 persons ; and they were about to break open the door of the Tal bot Inn, which was one of Mr. Potter's committee-rooms. Mr. Pickering remonstrated with them, and requested them to desist. Hoy struck Mr. Pickering over the head with a large stick, which stunned him for a few minutes ; but on recovering he wrested a staff from a per son who was beating him, and defended himself from the attack of the crowd. The prisoners also assaulted In spectors Richmond and Bent. The chief constable, at this stage, laid on the table a formidable life preserver, a very large poker, and a couple of blackthorn shillelahs, Which had been taken from the prisoners and other persons not yet in custody. Mr. Pickering was unable to attend the court, and is suffering severely from the ill-treatment he received. The prisoners were remanded. A case just heard before the French Imperial Court of Rouen disclosed some curious details as to how the oyster trade at Fecamp is carried on. The owners of oyster boats ther e f orm a community for the sale of and each y ear, i n the month of August, the of the coming s eason, w hi c h l as t s f rom t h e Ist p th ro o d y u i ce eld, of September to the 30th of April is put up to auction. In August last a merchant at Fecamp named Martin purchased the whole at 24f. the 1,000 (by usage consisting of 1,200) during the month of September, and 26fr. for the rest of the season. Martin in his turn engaged to supply a merchant at Dunkirk named Lieven with 150,000 oysters in September at 391 r. the 1,000, arid for the remainder of the season as many as Lieven pleased at 32fr. the 1,000, engaging to load them on board boats for Dunkirk, after having kept them in a park for a week. A lot of 172,000 were sent off, but they arrived in bad con dition, anctLieven having suffered a loss of 5,000 fr., did not order any more during the winter months. As, how ever, the oysters which were purchased by contract in August at 32fr. the 1,000 were in March worth 50fr., Lieven, on the 25th March, gave notice that he would take the whole produce from that time until the end of the sea son. Considering that the oysters had before suffered from remaining in the park, and from being heated in the hold of the boats by which they were carried to Dunkirk, he in formed Martin that he would for the future take possession of the fish on the quay at Fecamp. The latter, however, wished to avoid fulfilling the contract, and refused to de liver the fish as required, on the pretext that they were only to bo delivered on board bo ats for Dunkirk, and after remaining a week in park. T he affair was brought before the Tribunal of Commerce at Fecamp, when Martin was condemned to deliver all the fis h to Lieven, at the ordinary landing place, under a penalty of 15f r . per t h ousan d . Martin appealed to the Imperial Court of Rouen against that judgment, but the first decision was confirmed, and the penalty raised to 201 r, 100 {lOO 2 100 100 100 100 10J 100 100 120 100 100 10 100 100 EE M 2.1.0 2.14.6 3.4.0 2.7.0 2.13.6 9.10.6 60t all 1.1.0 7.8.3 8.13 4.18.( 94 4.3.0 21i 3 321 3.10.6 2.8.0 7.1.6 10.6.7
