CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The business transacted on the Stock Exchange to-day was an improvement on that of yesterday. Consols are steady at the quotations, and in the for eign market Turkish continues to advance. In railways seine purchases have been made in North Westerns and Brightons, but in Telegraph shares the transactions have been very limited, and that at lower prices. In Americans there is no change of moment, and in miscellaneous and banking shares the prices remain almost the same as those of yesterday. There is ratht. r an active demand for discount, but nothing is to be bad below the official rate. The corn market opened firm to-day, and Mon tiara currencies were maintained.

SII/111IS LIST. SPIRIT OF THE PRESS. THE PLEBISCITE. RAILWAYS-LORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS The Times remarks that the French Senators have gone through their work preparatory to the plaiscite. They have accepted the draught of the revised Imperial Con stitaticn, and this will now be submitted to the approval of the people. The announcement of the plebiscite is hourly expected. It will be made through a proclama tion of the. Sovereign and a manifesto of the Ministers. M. 011ivier and those of his colleag - ues who are still in. his Cabinet, though they did not suggest this experiment, look upon it now as a " proper means to obliterate the Coup d'Etat ; a fitting act by which to abolish absolutism and inaugurate a new regime." There is every appearance of France acquiescing in the good pleasure of her Imperial Master. The " disgust and apprehension ''' with which, as we are told, the Emperor's resolution had impressed every upright and rational mind are rapidly abating. Constitutional politicians seem dis posed to look upon the ordeal through which the country will be made to pass as the alternative between " liberty and revolution," and the discord which is already, as usual, spreading among the ranks of the extreme parties leaves no doubt that the choice lies at least between order and hopeless confusion. The French Emperor has made a correct estimate of popular instincts. He is sure of a large majority, of course, or he would hardly run a gratuitous risk. But it would still be open to his oppo nents to qualify his triumph by a.considerable number of negative votes, or by a well-concerted abstention. It is evident, however, that the Liberal party are unable to agree on any plausible plan of operations. Mutual mis trust, ill-will, and intolerance are everywhere breaking out in their_ ranks. In no country is it possible to save a people against themselves. If the result of the forth coming experiment turns out to be that the French nation is of one mind with its ruler—that its choice is for an "Imperialism tempered by Plebiscites," what grounds will the world have to arrive at a different concluskon ? THE ENGLISH CHURCH IN WALES. The Standard says we are met with the complaint that the Church in. Wales is the Church of a minority. The best answer to this is to ask who are the majority. No single sect is in a position to take up this ground. It is true that, taking the entire population, the Church is in a minority, but it is equally true that no one of the sur rounding communions has a right to dispute her title to the position which she enjoys. No doubt the Dissenters constitute a majority; but they are not a homogeneous body. Their majority is made up of scores of rival sects, each with its separate grudge against the other, and incapable of united action, save when it is a question of damaging the State Church. It is the old story of the "fortuitous concourse of discordant atoms." We hold, with the Quarterly, that the Legislature cannot deal with the case of the Church in Wales apart from that of the English Establishment. The question must be treated as a whole. If we are to follow the precedent which the member for Denbigh seeks to establish we shall have the time of Par liament occupied with provincial or parochial legislation. The House of Commons will be asked to disestablish the Church in Lancashire, or in the Isle of Dogs, or in St. James's, Piccadilly, and we shall be presented with the anomalous spectacle of a Church estab lished and endowed in one parish, and disestab lished and disendowed in that adjoining it. It is, no doubt, a difficult and perilous opera tion to attack an institution so powerful, so rich, so influ ential, and so triply guarded in its hold upon the affec tions of the nation as is the Church of England but if this is the work to which Mr. Gladstone and the Liberal party have devoted themselves, they must set about it openly and in the light of day. The system of strategy which feels about for weak points, and directs its advance by covered ways, will not find favour with the House of Commons or the country. Whatever may be the inten tions of the Welsh Radicals, Mr. Gladstone cannot sup port their tactics without revealing himself as the de clared enemy of the Church of England as by law estab lished. We incline to the opinion that the right honour able gentleman will not see his way thus far, at least dux ing the present session. BANK OF ENGLAND RETURNS.

Mr. Reed applied again to the Chief Judge this morning to postpone the proceedings in respect of two creditors' petitions until the first meeting takes place under Sir Roger Tichborue's own petition. An affidavit of the applicant was read, setting out the proceeding now ripe for trial, to endeavour to recover estates of the value of more than £20,000 per annum, that several thousands had been already expended upon commis ions sent abroad to procure evidence, and other means to forward proceedings. A satisfactory arrangement would be offered to the creditors, and the disadvan tip of the title to the estates vesting in a trustee would be avoided by an interim injunction being granted. His lordship said he was disposed to allow the matter to stand over until Monday next, so as to enable other parties to appear, if a satisfactory affidavit of the facts stated should be presented. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-('PHIS DAY). MARLBOROUGH-STREET. George Deal, potman to Mr. George Vim. Mat thews, licensed victualler, of No. 27, Silver-street, Golden-square, was charged before Mr. Knox with robbing his employer. The prosecutor, suspecting hewas being robbed, marked some money, and placed them in a wine glass ; but on going to the glass again, he there found a shilling which he had not so placed. He marked the coin, and then returned it. On going to the glass again the shilling had disap peared. It was afterwards found by the police in the prisoner's possession, together with five or six sove reigns. The prisoner, who said the money, marked shilling and all, was his own, was committed for trial. WESTMINSTER. THE EFFECTS OF BAD TEMPER.--Mary Smith, aged 40, described as of 57, Bessborough-place, Pimlico, was placed at the bar charged with attempt ing to commit suicide. The prisoner was seen by the police loitering about Lambeth bridge, and when spoken to she said she intended to commit suicide. The husband said the prisoner's temper caused him the greatest uneasiness. He had had no quarrel with her, but she had quarrelled with a female friend, and hence her declaration to destroy herself. The magis trate discharged the woman, and told her not to give way to her bad temper for the future. THAMES. John Sales, aged 30, a labourer, was brought berore Mr. Paget, charged with stealing Whs. of whole pepper from a warehouse in the St._Katherine Dock. The gatekeeper stopped the prisoner as he was leaving the dock, and discovered 111bs. of pepper closely picked in front of his person. The prisoner said that he brought it from a ship in the duck, and afterwards slid he tooklit from a warehous3 Mr. Muniford, superintendent of the London and S'. Katherine's Duck Company's own police, slid the prisoner had b. en at work in the dock eighteen months and nothing was known against him before. ( The prisoner, in defence, said he was very sorry for what he had done. He was sent to prison for two months and haul labour. Closing Business Paid. Name. Quotations. dono.

The Standard thinks that the facts brought to light at the last sitting of the managing committee of the British and Colonial Emigration Fund are sufficient to shew that emigration is taking firm hold of the working classes. Here we find the emigrants themselves contributing to wards the cost of their passage. 'Shipload after shipload is going out, and one vessel alone will take 560 from the Thames next week. Berths are engaged in the various ships up to a total of 1,800 statute adults, which may be reckoned as equal to about 2,400 souls. The emigrants themselves will contribute something like 25,500, and Mr. Goschen's splendid gift will soon be ab sorbed. While the Thames is sending forte its crowds, there is a report of an enormous increase in the emigration from the Mersey both to Canada and the United States. We shall very soon be told that the movement has gone far enough, and may be left to take care of itself. But those who know best the state of the working classes will be as little influenced by such an argument as they have hitherto been by the posi tive statement. that the destitute poor would not emigrate, or, if they did, the exploit would end in failure. Emigra tion is a fact and a success. We may regret the necessity for such a movement ; but as the necessity exists, the remedy may not be rejected. It is also extremely pos sible that those who are thus helped to go will afterwards help others to follow them. MR. MOORE, THE MEMBER rOR MAYO. The Daily Nev.. 3 declares that the death of Mr. George Henry Moore, the member for Mayo, will occasion very general regret. His ab sence f rom P ar li amen t w ill b e de pl,:r.3d on both sides, and by men of every shade of politi cal opinion. Mr. Moore was one of the few men who helped to give individuality to a House of Commons sin gularly lacking politicians and debaters of note save for s ome three or f our men s i tt i ng e i ther on the Trea sury Bench or immediately in front of it. The present . Parliament is a h ouse o f respecta bi l i t i es, containing. few persons, it is true, who sink below a fair average of ability, but still fewer who rise above it. Mr. Moore had, to some extent, a representative and even a historic character. He may be described with sub stantial truth as the last of the Irish Nationalists. We make no account of the newspaper traders in what Is called nationalism, of the Fenian promoters of social dis order, of the passing aberrations of excited Orangemen, or the electioneering tactics of Tory candidates.. Mr. Moore was the only public man of social standing, of personal respectability, and of a certain degree of eminence, who advocated what are vaguely called National principles, which we suppose t o i nvo l ve i n th e i r very mildest and most loyal form the legislative independence of Ireland. The National movement, in the sense in which it aimed at legislative independence, lost its lost representative in Mr. Moore. He was a respectable historic sentimentalist, far more English than Irish, save for a certain fire-eating temperament, in disposition, training pursuits, and taste s ; an Oxford man, a good classical scholar; and a sportsman who had taken up with Irish Nationality as other gentleman of means and leisure take up, as a resource, with Church architecture and ritual. It is a pity that his energies and talents had not more useful and innocent direction ; but regret for his sudden death absorbs all other considerations, THE PRINCE OP WALES. The Telegraph observes that not less, but more—far more—than ordinary subjects of the Queen is the Prince of Wales bound to answer the national code, socially as well as legally. lie owes the tribute of a high personal responsibility, a perfect loyalty, a sacred and severe 'obe dience to those laws, social and moral, by the sustaining strength of which stands the Throne of England, and under which the kingdom is held together in " peace and happiness, truth and justice, religion and piety." But assuredly the nation to which the Prince of Wales owes all this suit and service owes something very definite to him he return. if he cannot break the law without dis paraging the sceptre and damaging the Throne, the people in turn cannot allow idlers to drag his name through the mud of scandal without soiling the hon our o f England itself iilong with his. There is no man who is not also bound to remember the " fierceness of the light " which beats upon the life of this young Prince. He is placed too high not to be a natural mark for slander. The temptation to assail his honour is offered to every low and envious heart which hungers for " sensational " scandals. These hard conditions besetting the exalted life of his Royal High ness must be borne in mind by all generous and faithful persons ; and if an odious allegation passes in hearsay through the land, the truly pure and honest among the community will scout such cruel chatter. The respectable journal which happens to have been called to account might not untruthfully plead, that it had but put forth publicly and definitely a whispered story which was already in circulation ; and the managers offered to meet the appeal for justice by a contradiction and apology. The apology was declined, and the judges of the Queen's Bench were summoned to attest the denial. We do not improperly anticii ate the result when we demand fair play and honest conduct towards a young man whose princely rank ought not to make us forget that he has a domestic peace to lose and a human i nuendoe s. heart on t o b a e c h h a f eunder t h e e f s e e f n a l e s ewahned has shame lessan Englishman's claim to fair play, as well as a Prince'sright to respect, with the shadow of the Crown upon his brow to enforce the appeal, we call for that consideration which society owes in return for the services which It exacts. COUNTY RATING. The Pall Mall Gazette thinks that the county rating is unquestionably a remarkable exception to the general rale of our Constitution with respect to taxation. In all other instances taxes cannot be levied without the consent of the taxpayers, given either in person or by their represen tatives. This rule is observed, not only in relation to the general taxes of the country, but likewise in relation to borough rates, town rates, and even parochial rates. But it is, andlor no obvious reason, disregarded in relation to county rates and countyrates only. Mr. Knatchbull-Hugessen's bill was clearly insufficient. If we are to have county finan cial boards, they ought to be wholly elected by the rate payers, like town councils or loc al boar d s under the Local G o vernment Act. If they were, there is no chance whatever that the landlord interest would not be fairly represented in them. The farmers are not a revolutionary class, and the squirearchy have little to fear from their democratic hostility. Village Hampdens are as rare as bustards. We should be glad that the House of Commons should express a deliberate opinion en the subject. It may be questioned, how ever, whether legislation upon it would nit be as yet premature, even if it were yossible that legislation co-hld take place upon it this session. The state of local taxation in all its aspects must shortly engage the atten tion of Parliament, and it is not improbable that the inci dence of county rates may be a good deal changed. It would therefore be wiser to wait a little longer for a undisturbedrc e o a n l v y i n ced sound of rather this, l as tfihtnal than itto unsettlewould measure. be betterA them At al by tyo events a leave tem porizinge ma t ters feel and ineffectual measure. THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES. The Post says that the United States Supreme Court has pismissed the appeal from its former decision that the Legal Tender Act should not be valid in cases of con tract made before the passing of that Act. This judg mlnt, we need hardly say, possesses very great general and political interest. It is of direct importance to every one who holds securities issued by any of the States, or by railway and other corporations in the States, prior to February 25 , 1862. The weight o f legal authority in the United States is probably on the side or the total un constitutionality of the Legal Tender Act ; at the best, it was a " war measure," to bs legally enforced only under the pressure of military necessity an d illegal as soon as this pressure was removed. But the decision which the Supreme Court has just given, taken in connection with the decision it gave some months ago, and has now affirmed, is, as we have said, to the effect that contracts made for gold, after the passing oi the Act, must be paid in gold; en d th a t contracts made before the passing of the Act, whether specifically for pay ment in gold or not, must be paid in gold. Thus nothing is left in doubt but those contracts, not specifically for gold, made after the passing of the Act. It must ba con fessed that the makers o f those contracts, if they negle c t e d to stipulate for gold, must have contemplated payment in legal tender paper ; and that they have, in equity, no reason to demand payment in coin. TYPHUS IN IVIIITEITAVEN.---The 'War Office bas, we understand, countermanded the order for the assem bling of the militia in the town of Whitehaven, in conse quence of the prevalence of typhus fever in that town. Dr, BBuchanan, one of the Privy Council officers, is now pro cutingan inquiry with reference to the outbreak.—Britig Medical Journal. All explozioli cf gunpowder took place on Thurs day at Newcastle-under-Lyme. The explosion occurred in a powder warehouse belonging to Mr. Baildon, an iron monger. The warehouse is in ruins.

(Signed) Ro ULAND. The question whether or not Christ Hospital shall be removed into the country is to be decided at a meeting of the Governors on Tuesday next. Yesterday, at the sitting of the synod of the Eng lish Presb3 tartan Church, the subject of instrumental music in churches was ccnsidered, and the decision arrived at was to leave the matter in the hands of congregations to do as they thought fit. An order has been received at Chatham Dockyard fixing the date for floating the Sultan, 12, armour-plated ship, on the 17th of May. The inquests on the bodies of the two men killed by the falling in of a well at Ampthill, Bedfordshire, have been concluded, and a verdict of "Accidental Death" returned. he foreman of the jury addressed the superintendent of the work, and told him that proper care had evidently not been exercised. The jury hoped, however, that he would be more careful in future. PERRY'S MEAT PRESERVATIVE.—Amongst the many discoveries in articles of domestic utility, none, per haps, will be more valued than Perry's Fresh Meat Preser vative, as by its means meat, fish, poultry, game, or any other animal substance may be kept sound in any climate for an indefinite length of time. As the warm weather ad -vances the great benefit of such a preservative will be at once conceded, more especially by those whose business compels them to have large supplies of meat ready to hand. How much valuable food has been lost for the want of such an article as Perry's Preservative we cannot undertake to say, but one thing is certain, and that is, by its use the largest consumer will be enabled for the future, after having applied it, to hang his tempting joints in the most prominent positions throughout the summer, without the slightest de triment either to their look or sweetness. To the thrifty housewife the preservative will be highly valuable, as she will be also in a position in the summer to prevent her carefully-selected joint " turning in the night." The pre servative is a clear liquid, the articles desired to be pre. served have but to be immersed in it, then hung up in the ordinary manner, and for the next twelve months or more they will be found to have retained, uninjured, all their juicy flavour and nutritive qualities. The so l u ti on, which can be obtained at 66, St. John-street, Smithfield, is very chea p, and as for its efficiency some legs of mu' ton and sibs of beef were exhibited a short time ago that bad been hanging over five months, and they looked as fi ne an d as fresh as if but just cut from the carcass. The very extensive Distillery now being erected at Belfast, with all recent improvements for the manufacture of Irish whisky, by 'Stems.

HIGH BREEDING.—We pointed out some time since that much of the success on the Turf, both of Sir Joseph Hawley and Mr. Merr7, might be ascribed to their de votion to high breeding, As doubts are often thrown upon the advantages of winning blood, it may be interesting both to Darwinians and the general public to take a glance at the breeding results exemplified in the forthcoming, Derby. , Of the 254 nominations 80 are sons of undeniable racing "cracks cracks "—winners, that is to say, of the Two Thonsan,d Guineas, Derby, or St. Leger ; are of less celebrated but still distinguished parentage ; and 97 are decided commoners in point of birth. It will be seen that each class contributes about one-third to the total—the mob having a slight preponderance in point of numbers. Next we turn to the price current and analyse the breeding of the eighteen animals, who, accord ing to the list we have selected, are supposed to have a fair chance of carrying off the blue iiband-40 to 1 being the odds at which we draw the line. There are ten of the Ist class, six of the 2nd, and two of the 3rd. Nor do we ima gine that the two representatives of the democracy— Stanley and Palinevston—would be considered specially formidable. The Tim Whiffiers of the Turf are very rare; as a rule, winners are the sires of winners ; but a few conspicuous instances of failure on thcyart of high bred animals are apt to have more weight with the publis than the gen.yal rule, In this, as in other matters, the force of the " negative instance," as Bacon remarked, is Out of I:roPortiou to its value."—Globe.
