The sum of £15,000 in sovereigns was withdrawn from the Bank on Saturday for Brazil. It is stated from Paris that the Spanish financial operation has been settled there. The establishment engaged take the balance of the old loan and the £ 1 0,000,000 of Treasury bonds, but the general con ditions have not yet transpired. The financial advices from Alexandria state that great dissatisfaction has been created by the report of the intention of the Viceroy to raise a new loan on the security of his personal estates. It is main tained by these writers that the money is really to be used for Government purposes, and that th€ n egotiation has been introduced in its present shape merely to evade the pledge that no fresh Govern- Inent borrowings should be attempted for five years fre ' nl the year 1868. Until the conditions of the con templated transaction shall have been made no positive opinion can be given as to the justice of these reclamations. From Paraguay the last accounts state that Lopez had fallen back further in the country, completely exh austed, and with scarcely any followers, no artil lerY, and no provisions. One of his sons had arrived In Buenos Ayres, and had been put to an English Boarding school. The Nene Freie l'resse of Vienna staf . es that the su bscriptions to the Turkish Railway Loan amount 4. 3 00,083 scrip out of the 750,000 offers d to the public, or about 40 per cent. of the total, lea.ving 14 9,917 not taken up. This, however, wi'l neither ! f leet nor curtail the construction of the works, as the promoters (the Societe Imperiale des Chemins de k:er de la Turquie d'Europe) had a'rea ly allotted the whole 750,000 scrip to a committee at the pricJ of 15 5 f. ; they have therefore secured their capital of 11 6,250,000 f., and are thus covered for the build ing expenses for some very considerable length of time. The steamer Tanjore took on Saturday £136,930 IA specie for the East. The particulars are as fol loWB:—Galle, gold, £590 ; Bombay, gold, £40,500; ditto, silver, £30,000 ; Madras, gold, £1,160 ; Cal cutta silver, £6OO ; Penang, silver, £lO,OlO ; Sin gapore silver, £14,959 ; and Shanghae, silver, £39,120.

Her husband said, " Yes, she is my wife," and the prisoner then gave her a violent blow under the ear, knocking her down, and while her husband was picking her up the prisoner gave him a blow under theear. They called police and gave the prisoner, who had been drinking and was a stranger to them, into custody.

WESTMINSTER. Florence Hastings was placed at the bar, charged with stealing a double opera glass, value £l5. Mrs. Annie Phillip., of 6, Pelham-street, lirompton, said that the_prisoner took apartments at her house a few days ago, and came in last Thursday.

She gave the prisoner into custody, because she knew she must have taken the glass, as no other person had access to it. Prisoner owed her £3 borrowed money, besides considerably more for a dress. The prisoner denied the charge, and said the glass must have been taken by a person who had called upon her. The magistrate remanded the case for inquiry into the statement of the prisoner. Out of thirty-nine prisoners for trial 'at the Wilts Assizes, at Devizes thirty are unable to read or write.

The capture of weapons at Tobercurry in Ireland was a very strange affair. It appears that a large cask was conveyed to the establishment of Mr. Robert Clark, a respectable shopkeeper in Tobercurry, from the railway station at Ballymate, by the ordinary carriers. Mr. Clark opened it, and was astonished to find it contained ten rifles, six swords, six bayonets, and six packages of ammunition containing ten rounds each. Ire at once communicated the matter to Mr. L'Estrange, who recommended him to inform the police. Ile did so, and the sub-inspectors came and seized the barrel with its contents.. It is supposed that this barrel was directed to Mr. Clark in order to cover suspicion, as any person could call for it at the railway station, and, paying the freight, get it. The real consignee not coining for it, the barrel was sent on in the usual way, and thus fell into the hands of the constabulary. THE NORWICH BRIBERY PROSECUTION, The trial of Mr. Edward Stracey, son of Sir Henry Stracey, was opened at the Norfolk Assizes on Thursday, and continued on the following day. On Friday the Attorney-General expressed his belief that there was no bribery or thought of bribery on the part of Sir Henry Stracey, and that in the city itself there was a strong desire among the majority of the voters to have the election conducted on fair and honest principles. He also added that he believed Mr. Edward Stracey himself did not contemplate bribery at the outset of the election. After the formal proofs had been given, Mr. Joseph Allen, a medical man, was called. He said: Between one and two o'clock on the afternoon of the election I was outside the Maid's Head Hotel. Mr. Edward Stracey came up in a cab ; I stopped it, and he got out. I told him I wanteed money for the election ; could he let me have some ? He said "No; " he dare not ; his father would not forgive him. He said perhaps it would not be wanted. Between two and half-past two I pressed Stracey to advance the money. Ultimately he said it should be £2OO, and I said I would do my share. The money was to be given to me. Mr. Stracey knew nothing about how it was to be distributed except generally that it was to be used for stirring up the I people. told him that there were many persons who wanted beer, that they were perfectly ready to vote for Sir H. Stracey, and that if they had a little beer Sir H. Stracey would float in. On cross-examination, this witness said that it was most studiously con cealed from Mr. Stracey that the mouey was to be spent in bribery, for which witness intended it in his . own mind. Mr. Webster, the landlord of the Maid's Head, said that Mr. Stracey asked him on the afternoon of the election to lend him £2OO, Witness drew a cheque for that amount, and went to the bank where he obtained the money in half-sovereigns. He did not know for what the money was wanted, and the clerk at the bank asked him if he would take it in that way. He took the money to Mr. Allen's house, and gave it to his wife. Mrs. Joseph Allen deposed to receiving the money from Mr. Webster and giving it to Mr. Howse Allen, and Mr. Howse Allen explained how he distributed the coin among bribery agents, and how he gave some small bribes himself. On Saturday morning evidence was given as to the distri bution of the sums entrusted for bribery purposes by Mr. Howse Allen to Bann, Hulme, and others. Mr. Staveley Hill intimated that he should not attempt to deny that the money was spent in bribery, but he should contend that that was done without the knowledge of Mr. Stracey. The Attorney-General replied. The Judge summed up, and the jury acquitted the prisoner. Great excitement was caused by the verdict. It was received with applause in Court, and there is, says our correspondent, great cheering throughout the city. The prosecutions relating to the bribery at the municipal elections were continued in the Crown Court by Mr. Justice Blackburn. The defendant prosecuted on Satur day is Mr. Hardiment. Several witnesses proved seeing small sums of money given by him to voters. The judge summed up, and the jury found the prisoner guilty. The trial of Mr. Joseph Stanley, solictor, for bribery at at the last municipal election was opened. Several wit nesses were examined. and the court adjourned. THE LOSS OF THE GOLDEN CITY. Particulars have been received of the loss of the steam ship Golden City, which was wrecked at Cape Lazaro, on the coast of Lower California, whilst on a voyage from San Francisco to Panama. The vessel, which was of 2,600 tons burthen, had on board at the time she started about 360 passengers, with treasure of the value of £lBO,OOO consigned to bankers in England, France, and New York, The steamer struck about seven o'clock in the morning, a dense fog prevailing at the time. The captain and officers rushed at once into their cabins and quickly returned to deck armed. There was great consternation among the crew and passengers, and the orders of the officers were for a time confused and contradictory. The first officer called out to " Man the Lifeboats," and in a few seconds he added, " The first man who touches them will be shot." The steerage passengers at once armed themselves with life-preservers, but those in the cabins and saloons were less excitable. After a while the captain appeased all excitement, and the passengers obeying his orders and instructions, the boats were safely lowered, and they commenced taking off the people as expeditiously as possible. The fog had by this time cleared away, and it was then seen that the steamer had run ashore on a sandbank within three hundred yards of the coast. In a few hours all the passengers and crew were safely landed. Efforts were then made to save the treasure, and by four o'clock in the afternoon the whole of the specie— sBoo,ooo—was saved. Canvas for tents was also sent ashore, and tent enclosures were erected on the sands for the accommodation of the ladies. The shipwrecked people suffered great privations for three nights and days, the want of fresh water being intensely felt. At length the Colorado hove in sight, and was soon off the wreck, which by that time had broken into three sections. The captain of the Colorado, seeing it was impossible to take off the shipwrecked people, owing to the tremendous surf that swept that part of the coast, signalled his intention of proceeding twenty-five miles down the coast to a sheltered bay where the passengers could embark in safety. To reach that spot, however, the unfortunate creatures, who numbered 400, had to pass over a rocky, sandy country, and suffered greatly. Some lost their way, and are supposed to have perished from exhaustion. At length the bay was reached, and most of the crew and passengers were con • veyed on board the Colorado after a time in safety. The Golden City and her cargo were estimated at £200,000. The treasure was left behind buried in the sands. Since the time referred to a steamer has been despatchedby tha underwriters to the spot, and the specie has been re covered and transmitted to the bankers to whom it had been consig.ned. A correspondent of the .1712:€171eSS courier states that the p re centor of a Free Church has been sus p ended from his office for three months, for dancing a reel at his sDn's wedding. Prince Arthur is expected to return to England from Canada in August next. He will then take up his residence at the Ranger's house, Greenwich-Park, and will prebably rejoin the Royal Artillery at Woolwich. The name of Mr. Candlish is mentioned as a probable successor to Mr. Baxter, the Financial Secretary to the Admiralty, should that fficial vacate his post to occupy a similar one at the Admiralty. A despatch of the Secretary of State has been published in India approving of the reductions ordered loPy the Government of India in the ordinary grant of public works.

The Dublin .Eoress mentions a rumour that Mrs. Howard intends shortly to bring an action of ejectment against one of the tenants on t Wicklow estate in order to bring her claims before ac ommon law court in Ireland. It is now gener ally understood at Oxford that the installation of the Marquis of Salisbury as Chancellor of the 'University will take place at the encEenia, or com memoration of founders and benefactors, which falls this year on Wednesday, June 22. A petition, prepared by the Duke of Norfolk, Sir Charles blifford. and Mr. Landale, will be laid before every Roman Catholic in Great Britain for signature, praying the House of Commons not to consent to Mr. Newdegate's Committee on Conventual Institutions. The Committee on the New Refreshment-rooms of Westminster Palace will meet on Wednesday next, and will then adopt the Board of Works' plans, which are to cost £4,500, against £24,000, the estimate of the late architect. The old dinner-room of the House of Commons will become the new tea-room. The Sheffield Daily Telegraph says that through the mediation of Mr. Alfred Davy, a settlement of the Thorncliffe dispute may now be fairly expected. Messrs. Newton, Chambers, and Co. appear to have e V Ile ti t e ri o Sme what more graciously to him than they did t Wh a rncliffe or the Mayor of Sheffiel Lord The political situation in Austria is very critical. A telegram in the Standard says the Minister, President Hasner, has gone to Buda to obtain the Emperor's con sent to the dissolution of the Gallician Diet. The resig nation of the whole Cisleithan Ministry depends on the Erulieror's decision. The Leeds Mercury records another literal offer from a member of the Crossley family. Mr. John Crossley has announced that he is willing to pay the entire cost of the sojourn of twenty convalescent patients yearly, at Southport, Buxton, or other places recommended by the medical staff of the Halifax Infirmary. The Miners employed at Norwood Colliery have resolved by a small majority to strike.

We learn by telegram from Vienna that the committee on the Galician resolution, which has occasioned so much excitement in the Reichsrath, has adopted the provi sionary electoral law submitted for its preliminary con sideration. The New Free Press of Vienna, of April 1, states that the Cabinet, having held a council on the . sudden with drawal of the Polish deputies from the Reichsrath (since followed by the retreat of the Istrians, Slovenes, and Bakovians) have decided to request the Emperor to dis &Ave those Diets whose members have left the Reichsrath. If the Emperor does not consent to adopt this course the ministers will resign their office. TIIE STRIKE AT CREUSOT. Affairs do not appear to be improving at Crensot. On the afternoon of March 31 the chief engineer said he had received a letter from some of the men, which he sup posed expressed their views, and that he was ready to dis cuss matters with them. A number of miners having assembled, M. Bianzat, the chief engineer, explained that no reduction had been made or was contemplated in their wages, that it was not intended to deprive them of their firing, and that their wages were higher than those of the men employed in the neighbouring mines. Some of the men replied that their wages were too low and that they insisted on an increase, but M. Bianzat said that no such increase was possible, owing to the state of trade. M. Schneider, therefore, requested the malcontents to arrange their accounts, and decided in favour of fresh workmen. The Paris Journal states that considerable bodies of men threatened to release the prisoners at Autun. It is said that M. Schneider has secured a perma nent garrison of 1,000 men for his mines. The men on strike who occupy houses belonging to the company have received notice to quit immediately. The strike is the more inopportune as M. Schneider has just received an order for 136 locomotives, of which 116 are intended for the new Russian railways. LA CLAQUE. Everybody has heard of la claque, the French institu tion for securing the systematic applause of every theatri cal piece, good or bad. The claqueur is a gentlemen who for a pecuniary consideration, takes his seat in the pit, and claps his hands at everything and everybody he sees on the stage, from seven o'clock in the evening till midnight inclusively. If any individual among the paying portion of the public appears dissatisfied with the performance, and so far forgets him self as to hiss, it is the honourable mission of the claqueur to bawl, " Turn him out ? " " Hit him on the head ! ' and other amenities; and if there be any song or tirade which seems particularly to jar on the nerves of the audience so as to excite shouts of Oh ! " and acute indi cations of suffering, the claqueurs never miss the oppor tunity of energetically demanding an " encore," in the hope, no doubt, that a second hearing of the piece may enable the malcontents to perceive its beauties. The Pall Mall Gazette rives some interesting details of this noble institu tion. Up to 1820 it was usual for theatrical managers to covenant with a chef de claque (or leader of the claque orchestra), and give him so much a year, on the understanding that he should bring five-and-thirty or forty claqueurs to the house every night, One day, how ever, it was discovered that this arrangement was not at all a paying one. The only man who thrived under it was the chef de claque, who generally made his fortune at the end of a few years, and retired rich; while his ex-employer, the manager, too often ended his career in the bankruptcy court. The chef de claquehad several ways of making money out of his contract. Besides his fixed salary from the ma nager he received so much a year from most of the actors and actresses, especially from those who had not much talent • and, in addition to this, he frequently sold at high rate the forty seats which he received gratis. Nowadays all this is changed. Instead of the manager paying the chef de claque, it is the latter functionary who pays the manager. Three or four years ago, when a cabal was organised by the Quartier Latin against ti-e " Henriette, Marechal " of the Brothers Goncourt, the chef de claque of the Thatre Francais brought, on the second and third nights of the performance, five hundred claqueurs to the rescue. The uproar within the theatre was terrific ; the claqueurs raved and the students shrieked, but in the end it was the stu dents who got the best of it. They had stronger lungs than the mercenaries, and after the third performance the piece was withdrawn. It is very curious to see a chef de claque in the act of recruiting his troupe. Within a few doors of every French theatre is a café where the chief claqueur establishes his head-quarters. Towards five or six o'clock he puts in an appearance, and is im mediately mobbed by the forty or fifty persons who are anxious to be enrolled for that evening. As a rule, the first thing the chef de claque looks at is the dress of the candidates. He accepts no blouses and no slovens. If he sees a man well arrayed, hearty-looking and florid of countenance, endowed with good broad shoulders and fine big hands, he generally enlists him at once. The terms of admission to the claque vary. Sometimes (especially in summer) if there is a dull piece being performed it is diffi cult to find claqueurs, and the chef presses every one he can get, accepting eight sous, six sous, and even as little as four sous from each of his troupe. Should the piece be so hopelessly dull or the weather so hot that no one will volunteer to pay even twopence, the chef must then have recourse to what ragamuffins he can find, and pay his troupe instead of being paid by them. When there is a popular piece, however, the chef de claque some times has several hundred candidates to choose from, and on such occasions he can make his own terms. On the nights of a first performance of Angier, Sardou, or Alexandre Dumas fill, the seat in the claque fetch five or ten francs apiece. If a row is expected, as at the revival of " Ernani" three years ago, and that of " Lucrbce Borgia," last January, the places fetch quite fancy prices. In addition to the income he derives from selling seats at a profit, the contractor of the claque still makes a fine bonus by levying a tribute upon the actors and actresses. It is always easy for a spectator to guess which of the performers pays the claque and which does not. No matter how slight may be the part which an actor or actress has to play, he or she is sure to be warmly applauded if the chef de claque has been well paid. For a (Mutant to refuse payment would be folly almost amounting to artistic suicide. Some of the more popular dramatists, Alexandre Dumas among them, have, at different times, endeavoured to abolish the claque, at least so far as their own works were concerned,. but the attempt has always failed. As in the days of Napoleon I. and under the Restoration, so now, the claque is in too good odour with the police to be easily superseded. A VERY STRANGE STORY. Boston, (Massachusetts) has a sensation story. Recently, in a town hard by, a public ball was given. The daughter of a couple who keep a boarding-house set her heart on going, and in company with one of the boarders, who is designated " J." The girl's parents objected to her going to the ball, especially in company with , J.," but she said that she was determined to go, and that if she could not go with " J." she would " accept the company of the devil should he offer to attend her." On the night of the ball she slipped out of the house in proper trim except that she had to buy boots for the occasion ; and having procured these she was returning to put them on, when she met " J," as she supposed, and he persuaded her to g o with him to the ball at once, and change her boots in the ladies' dressing-room. "J." was her partner in the first dance, but disappeared until supper time, then suddenly presenting h i mself, with rather frivolous ex cuses for his absence, invited her down to the supper room . Offended' by his neglect, she said she would return home at once, and he attended her thither. Very little was said by either party until they bad nearly reached the house, when J. ' informing his companion that he was not going in ; and, presenting her with a beautiful pearl - handled pen knife, and asking her when she used it to think of him, he suddenly left her. The girl, on telling her mother all that had passed, was astounded at learning that " J." had not been out of the house since early nightfall, and went to bed before the hour at which the ball began. The girl refuSed to believe it, but after some discussion her mother took her to " J.'s " room, and there he was seen calmly and profoundly sleeping. Nothing more could be said, and the daughter retired for the night. A strange sound shortly afterwards brought the mother to the girl's chamber, and she was found with her throat cut with the penknife given to her by her companion at the ball. She lingered until noon and then died, declaring that, remembering what she had said in her determination to go to the dance, she used the knife because she was overwhelmed by horrible suspicions as to who it was that, personating J.," be came her partner. The Boston Post declares that these statements are all strictly true, and can be vouched for by the very best authority.l The French are a cheerful race, and find a joke in things where no other people would think of looking for one. A short time since a steamboat explosion on the Lower Mississippi blew a Frenchman's better-half into the bushes and another world, whereupon the bereaved husband exclaimed—" Farewell, my much e-steamed wife ?" THE FRENCH BISHOPS AND THE COUNCIL.—The Liberte contradicts the report that has been circulated respecting the withdrawal of the French Bishops from the Council, on the plea of urgent business. No bishop, is allowed to leave Rome without a special authorisation from the committee appointed to settle the matter. Mgrs. Darbory and Dupanloup are expected to visit their dioceses for Easter, but they will return to Rome afterwards. The Pope has resolved to postpone any appointment of cardinals until after the discussion of the dogma of infallibility in order that it may not appear as if these nomina tions were intended to convert the Opposition party. It seems certain that Mgr. Darboy will be included in the ranks of the new Cardinals, his prudent and reserved conduct having been the theme of general admiration ; and the honour willl be shared also by Mgr. Chigi, the Papal Nuncio at Paris. CORRUPTION IN AMERICA.—SCerideIOIIS RS was the manner in which the American House of Representatives allowed Mr. Whittemore, one of the members from South Carolina, to escape expulsion after being con victed of selling cadetships, still more so is its decision in the case of Mr. R. R. Rutter, of Tennessee, found guilty of the same offence. The committee which examined the charge was equally divided as to whether it should recommend expulsion or a simple vote of censure. All parties were agreed that Mr. Rutter had illegally re ceived payment for an appointment ; but it was urged by the one side, in mitigation of punishment, that he had n ot applied the money so received to his own use, but had spent it for eleationeering purposes in the interest of his party. Two reports accordingly were presented to the House, and a vote was taken upon them on March 17. The motion for expulsion was first made, but, failing to receive the support of two-thirds of the members present, it was lost, and the vote of censure was agreed to. The result is that Mr. Rutter, though convicted of corruption, is declared worthy to retain his seat in On QOIlaTeNl of the Taittd htMofrierlM ciacOc. THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLocK.

The Oxford crew went at racing pace, about 39 strokes per minute, and on the way home against the last of the flood were eased several times, and ex hibited better form than ever ; the same too must be said of their opponent 9, who rowed more leisurely at about 36, their trainer evidently thinking they were in capital trim without more hard work. Cambridge partisans are very sanguine, and are picking up all the 6 to 4 bets they can get hold of. There will be no hard work to morrow, being the day prior to the race. Betting 6 to 4 and 11 to 8 on Oxford, taken freely. AUSTRIA. (REUTER'S TELEGRAM.) VIENNA, April 4.
