--- MONEY MARKET A ND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. TWELVE O'CLOCK. This being the last day of the quarter, the de mand for money has largely exceeded the Saturday average. The rates out of doors are almost, if not quite, equal to the minimum of the Bank of Eng land. At the Bank of England yesterday the gold operations consisted of an influx of £B,OOO, and an efflux of £4,000. The London Bank of Mexico and South America have issued a report to be presented at the meeting on the 9th April next. The amount of profit and loss, after deducting all charges, expenses, and re bate of interest, is £27,649, and with the transfer of £12,937 as provision for bad and doubtful debts, there remains an available balance of £14,712, from which the directors now recommend the pay ment of a dividend of 10s. per share, making, with the interim dividend already paid, 7f per cent. for the year. A summons has been issued in re Overend, Gurney, and Co., at the instance of Mr. Charles Oppenheim, asking that the liquidators may be directed to make a call of £lO per share on the shareholders of the company, pursuant to the reso lution passed at the meeting of the creditors, held at the London Tavern, on the 15th inst. We under stand this course has been taken by Mr. Charles Oppenheim in consequence of theliquidators having declined to make such a call. The traffic receipts on the East Indian Railway for the week ending 10th February, amounted to £60,162 against £44,052 in the corresponding week of the previous year. On the Ottoman Railway the receipts to the 3d November was £696, and in the corresponding week of the previous year they were £667. The number of miles open last year were 484, and this year 801. The specie movements during the past week have been on a rather extensive scale. The imports, which have been chiefly from Australia and the Continent, have amounted to about £545,514, in cluding £55,000 from Australia by the Giant's Causeway, £30,000 by the Winevera, £11,908 by the Sarah Grice, and £236,000 by the Great Bri tain. The Asia from New York has brought £2,016, and the Euxine from Alexandra, £3,121; besides which about £207,469, chiefly in silver, has been received from the Continent. The exports have been confined to remittances to the Continent chiefly in silver through private sources, and which are estimated to have amounted to about £202,188 Two O'CLOCK. According to Reuter's Telegram from Paris to day, the French Rentes were 69f. 15c. Flat. A preponderance of speculative sales has caused less firmness in the English Stock market. The decline, however, has only been to the extent of per cent. Consols for money being dealt in at 91 to 91i for both money and the 10th proximo. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 891 ; New 31 per Cents., 97 ; Exchequer Bills for March, 15s. prem. ; India Stock, 219 ; ditto 5 per Cents., 1094 110 ; ditto Enfaced 4 per Cents., 103 f ; ditto 51 per Cents., 1081 ; ditto Debentures, 103 f ; and ditto Bonds, 48s. to 495. prem.

MAR'S LEBONE VESTRY. EXTENSIVE DEFALCATIONS OF COLLECTORS. Yesterday ,an exciting scene took place in the Marylebone Vestry in consequen'e of the discovery that two of the collectors of the poor-rate hal em bezzled large sums of money collected by them on account of the poor-rate. The finance committee reported that upon examining the accounts of the B division collector, Mr. Marriner, they discovered a deficiency of £678 4s. ld. ; that upon examining the accounts of another collector, Mr. Tripp, they discovered a deficiency of £1,266 4s. 11d. They therefore recommended that the situations of Mr. Marriner and Mr. Trip be declared vacant; that they be prosecuted for embezzlement, and that their sureties be called upon to make good the amount deficient. They further recommended that, as the defalcations took place through Mr. Watts, the check clerk, neglecting to check the receipts, his situation be declared vacant. In conclusion, the committee stated that they had examined the ac counts of the other six collectors, and found them perfectly correct and paid up. Mr. BROWN, in moving the adoption of the recom mendation of the committee, expressed the great pain he felt in doing so, but said he was bound in duty to do it, and leave it to the vestry to decide whether they would admit any extenuating cir cumstances. Mr. CARR seconded the adoption of the report, and pointed out that if the checking had been pro perly performed by the clerk (Mr. Watts) the de falcations could not have occurred. The committee felt bound to recommend the prosecution of the defaulters, for if they let them go, as they had done others, they would not only be compounding felony, but would be encouraging crime. A lengthened and exciting debate then took place, several members of the board being anxious to allow Mr. Watts, the clerk, to resign, instead of dismissing him. It was urged that he had served the vestry 35 years, and that if he were dismissed he would be ruined. Several divisions took place with a view of bringing about the object mentioned, but without effect, the majority of the vestry being most deter mined in their resolution to punish with the greatest severity not only the defaulters but the officer whose negligence they maintained had contributed to the fraud. The proceedings at times assumed a stormy and exciting aspect, and efforts were made to adjourn the subject for a week, but the report of the committee was eventually adopted, and a special vestry appointed to confirm the proceedings. BRITISII MONEY ORDER OFFICE IN THE PARIS EXIIIBITION.—A British Money Order Office will be opened on the Ist April, in that portion of the Paris Exhibition which has been allotted to England and her colonies, and will be maintained there until the closing of the Exhibition The office will be situated in the Colon nade which surrounds the exterior of the Exhibition build ing,land will be found between the Exchange Office of Mr. John Arthur and the office of the British Commis sioners.

General Post-office, March 27, 1867. HOUSES FOR THU LABOURING POOR.—MT. Ayrton having charged the Corporation of London with obstruc tions to this bill, a notice of motion has been given for a "return of the number of houses or dwellings for the labouring poor erected or adapted by the Corporation of London in the last ten years ; the amount laid out in re spect of the same ; and the returns in the way of revenue up to the date of making the return." It will be shown by this return that, so far from obstructing measures of the kind, the Corporation has already provided three blocks of buildings of this nature without waiting for the intervention of Parliament. It is well known that Mr. Alderman Wsterlow has for some years past laboured in this direction on his own account, and also In connection with a society commenced by him. How " STONEWALL" JACKSON GOT HIS FAMOUS SURNAME.—The following is Mr. Cooke's account of the charge from which the General derived it. At this point the Federals had nearly succeeded in driving back their foes, and taking possession of a plateau which would have given them the command of the field :—" Such was the condition of things when the glitter of bayonets caught the eyes of Bee, beyond the Henry-House Hill, and a courier brought word that reinforcements were coming at last. Bee galloped in the direction of the fresh troops ; they were the First Brigade, under Jackson. As he pressed on rapidly the disordered troops of Bee and Evans swept by towards the rear, but the First Brigade continued to advance. All at once Bee appeared, approaching at full gallop, and he and Jackson were soon face to face. The latter was cool and composed ; Bee, covered with dust and sweat with his drawn sword in his hand, his horse foaming. In the bitter despair of his heart he could only groan out, General, they aro beating us back !" The faco of Jackson betrayed no correspond ing emotion. Ho had his ' war look' on, but that was never a look of excitement. His eye glittered, and in the curt tone habitual with him, he said, coolly, Sir, we will give them the bayonet.' These words seemed to act upon Bee like the sound of a clarion. He galloped back to his men, and, pointing with his sword to Jackson, shouted, Look! there is Jackson standing like a stone wall! Lot us determine to die hero or conquer !' His command was partially rallied ; the detachment took their position on the right, and Jackson's line swept steadily on towards the plateau." This movement turned the tide, ob serves a critic in the Spectator. The Federals from that day forth wero possessed with an almost superstitious belief in the invincibility of " Stonewall's" Brigade. The battle of Bull Run was a disastrous rout of the North, and it is said that as Jackson rode with Beauregard after the fight and gazed on the retreating masses, he asked passionately, "Give me ten thousand men, and I will be in Washington to-night l" It was the fiery Maharbal at Canino urging irresolute Hannibal, " Victor in Capitolio epulaberis.." BUCOLIC WISDOM.—The other day in a western county an excellent clergyman had all his farmers to dinner, wishing to ascertain their views on the edu cation of agricultural labourers. Many of the farmers were much above the average British farmers, men of some feel ing, and oven education. The clergyman asked them, " Well, now, ought the children of your labourers to go to school ; and if so, what do you think they ought to learn?" The farmers all thought the children ought to go to school; they "saw no harm in that." "Should they learn read ing?" "Yes, reading, but not more than is necessary to read their Bibles"—thus much iu compliment to the clergy man, " not more," in order that the school might bo cheap, and not bear heavily on their pockets. "Well—and writing ?" "Well, yes, enough writing to sign their names"—not enough just to open any other field of labour to them. " Well—and arithmetic ?" Empha tically "No" from all the famers ; "No use at all in arith metic." Arithmetic might throw au unpleasant light on the rate of wages ; and, besides, it is a wonderful sharpener of childish faculties.—Spectator. FISH IN THE AMAZON.—Professor Agassiz, who has lately been engaged in examining the fish of the river Amazon, states that he has not found one fish in common with those in any other fresh-water basin ; that different parts of the Amazon have fishes peculiar to them selves; and as an instance of the teeming variety of the Amazon, he adds, that a pool of only a few hundred square yards showed 200 different kinds of fish, which is as many as the entire Mississippi can boast. In the Amazon itself 2,000 different kinds exist, a great propor tion of which are must excellent eating. Several aro extremely curious, one especially, which has the power of walking or creeping ou dry land, and of worming its way up the trunks of trees. Nine or ten lives have been lost by the recent floods in the county of Wicklow. At a place called Aski nagap, a held named Mullhall, with his wife and four children, were found overwhelmed with snow in their cabin, lying dead in their beds, as if they were asleep. In another place a woman was carried away several hundred yards by a torrent, while her infant was found floating in its cot on a distant stream. A FRENCH COURT NEWSMAN.--" We learn : " says the Figaro, " that our collaborator, Adrien Marx, has been attached to the cabinet of the Duke do Bassauo, Grand Chamberlain, to fill the post of court newsman, not permanently occupied. All persons who have had the honour of being received at the English Court or who assiduously read the English papers, have been struck by the utility of the post in question, where a writer is charged to communicate to the journals an authentic re lation of official fetes and ceremonies, as well as of journeys accomplished by members of the reigning family. The idea has now been adopted of also confidinglamission of the kind to a journalist at Paris." ETON COLLEGE.—The School closes on Friday, the 12th of April, for the Easter vacation. The Lower Boys will return to the College on Wednesday, the Bth of May, the fifth and sixth forms arriving on the two suc ceeding days. The Newcastle Scholarship Examination is fixed for Saturday, the 6th of April. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. - ---+ VICTORIA BE ["PING.-TATS DAY. There was a large attendance and business was active for the forthcoming week's events. For the Northampton shire Stakes the feature was the support of John Davis, and his ultimate retirement in favour of his stable com panion Lecturer; the latter was in immense force, being backed down to 9to 2 taken kindly. The demonstration in favour of the Danebury horse completely paralysed speculation in reference to other animals. As will be seen, 100 to 6 was offered bar one. Some speculation took place on the Spencer Plate, as below : NORTHAMPTONSHIRE STAKES. 9 to 2 agst Lecturer (taken freely) 100 to 6 agst Rama (taken and offered) 20 to 1 agst Dunsany (taken) 20 to 1 agst Endsleigh (taken and offered) 20 to 1 agst Salpinctes (taken) 20 to 1 agst The Miner (taken) 20 to 1 agst Gilead (taken) 20 to 1 agst Miss Harriette (taken) 20 to 1 agst John Davis (taken and offered) 40 to 1 agst Apsley (taken to £100) 500 to 30 agst Regalia and Sealskin (taken) 800 to 100 agst Mr. Brayley's lot (offered) DERBY. 8 to 1 agst The Rake (wanted) 10 to 1 agst Hermit (offered) 11 to 1 agst Plaudit (offered—take 12 to 1) TWO THOUSAND. 400 to 200 agst Plaudit with a run (taken) EARL *FENCER'S PLATE. 100 to 6 agst Salliet (taken) 100 to 6 agst Hunsttnan (taken) 100 to 6 agst Lion (taken) 20 to 1 agst King Vfctor (taken) 20 to 1 agst Batthyany (taken) 20 to 1 agst Chapel Royal (taken) 20 to 1 agst Vespasian (taken) 20 to 1 agst Icicle (taken) 20 to 1 agst Sycee (taken).

The Oxonians rose betimes this morning and went out for a stroll before breakfast. At a quarter past 11 they repaired to the London Rowing Club Boat-house, and having launched their eight, got into her, and rowed all tho way up to Mortlake against the tide, returning down with it after a short interval. There was a great deal of labour going up, owing to the wind being dead on their bows, and squally, but they obviously require much exercise. Tho great flooding to the west which, since 1852, has never been so great as during the last fort night at Oxford, has prevented the crew going anything like the distance. Truly, they tried again and again, but were obliged to turn back, as it was impossible to tell which was the stream. The crew were "coached" and steered by Mr. Tottenham this morning, and went off very slowly and evenly, rowing with great pains and well together. They proceeded up at the rata of 30 strokes per minute, their oars being well pulled through the water. Tho pace was of course increased on the re turn with the wind and tide. The Cambridge crew will go out, it is expected, at about half-past four this after noon. Butting is 7t04 on Oxford. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. (This Day.) Market opens without change. Sales probably 8,000 or 10,000 bales. TIIE NATIONAL SUNDAY LEAGUE. —lt appears that with regard to the question of the legal right of the national Sunday League to hold what they termed " Ser ♦ices" on the Sunday Evenings at St. Martin's Hall, is to be discussed before the highest legal tribunals of the country. Mr. Baxter, the head of the "Lord's Day Ob servance Society," has issued a writ of summons returnable to the Court of Queen's Bench, and which has been served upon Mr. J. B. Langley, and to which an appearance has been entered. TIIF, GOVERNMENT REEORM BILL.—A meeting of the Westminster branch of the Reform League took place last night at the Great Hall, Broadway, Westminster, "to protest against and denounce the paltry measure of Reform as proposed by the present Government." In the absence of Mr. Reales, Colonel Dickson took the chair, and in opening the proceed_ ings said the men of Westminster, after returning such a man as Mill, were not likely to fail in sup porting a proper measure of Reform. The Government having thrown the onus of carrying the Reform Bill on the House of Commons, it now mainly depended upon the Liberal members whether a good bill should or should not be carried. He was sorry to say the Liberal members were not acting quite in the way that they should. The ques tion of Reform was now in the hands of the people, and, if they did not cease from their agitation, a measure would be carried. Any bill would be bad which did not contain a lodger franchise, with a less qualification than £lO. The two years' residence was too long for working mon, who had to move about frequently to follow their work. Tho dual voting would have to be given up, and so would voting papers, and such fancy franchises as the savings banks franchise. The latter franchise would be peculiarly open to the defect of allowing the creation of faggot votes. Rich mon would create large numbers of voters, by invest ing money in the savings banks for their servants and dependents. Introducing Mr. Copus and Mr. Smith to the meeting, the following resolution was duly proposed, seconded, and unanimously carried :—"Resolved, that this meeting, having seriously considered the propositions of the present Government on the question of reform, do positively denounce and ignore them, inasmuch as they do not afford any possibility of the thousands of intelligent mechanics of the metropolis and other large towns be coming enfranchised ; and therefore they would earnestly entreat the Liberal members of Parliament to give their strenuous opposition to any measure that does not dispense with dual voting, and does not establish a comprehensive lodger franchise." Mr. Mantel, who supported this reso lution, took a melancholy view of the prospects of a sa tisfactory settlement of reform, on account of the want of determination in the people and the want of moral principle in the Legislature. Members of Parliament were very fond just now in establishing some test of fitness before admitting working mon to the franchise; if a similar test of political capacity was required of members before being admitted to the House of Commons, out of the 656 certainly not more than the odd 56 would remain to vote. Several other speakers addressed the meeting before the proceedings were brought to a close. THE D. J. DRAPER LIFEBOAT.--It will probably be remembered that amongst those who unhappily perished in the steamship London, in the Bay of Biscay last year, was the Rev. D. J. Draper, who with his wife was returning to Australia. In that colony ho had been for many years a zealous minister of the Wesleyan Metho dists. The Wesleyans in different parts of the kingdom, wishing to perpetuate his memory in his native county of Cornwall, have lately subscribed, through the Methodist Recorder, upwards of £7OO to establish there a lifeboat station. That amount has been given to the National Lifeboat Institution, which is now engaged in forming a lifeboat establishment on the Cornish coast accordingly and Mullion Cove, near the Lizard, has been selected for it. An inscription, carved on stone, will be placed over the doorway of the lifeboat house, recording fully all the circumstances of the case. It should be mentioned that the Rer. Luke Wiseman and Mr. Thomas Smith have been indefatigable in their exertions in collecting the Draper lifeboat fund. It should also be stated that the friends of the distinguished tragedian, G. V. Brooke, who also unfortunately went down in the London, have raised a considerable sum through J. W. Anson, Esq., J.L. Toole, Esq., and other friends, to perpetuate his memory precisely in the same way. BOW-STREET. AN EXEMPLARY OFFICIAL.—DanieI MGM, in the ser vice of the South-Eastern Railway Co., as a porter in the Continental department, was brought up in custody of Inspector Parker, of the South-Eastern Railway police, charged with being drunk while in his employ at the terminus, Charing-cross. The prisoner had been sent from the Cannon-street station, as special messenger, to convey to the Char ing-cross terminus a valuable parcel, to be for warded to the continent. Having missed the train by which ho ought to have come he walked to Charing-cross. Arriving upon the platform, he loitered until the train started, attempted to enter a car riage while the train was in motion, lost his footing, and fell to the ground. He got up and was making a second attempt to get into a carriage, when he was pulled back by Mr. Parker, who was alarmed lest he should incur some injury, more especially as he was drunk. He was then ordered to go to the superintendent's office. He at first refused to do so, but after some littlo persuasion was in duced to do so. Mr. Richardson ordered him into custody. The prisoner admitted that he was drunk, but said he was so before ho started from Cannon-street. lie had no doubt they had found it out, for when he arrived at Charing-cross ho found the officers in wait for him, and the parcel was taken from him. _ Mr. Richardson said he was instructed to press the charge, as this was the second time the prisoner had been accused of drunkenness. The case was the more serious, as the prisoner was aware that the contents of the parcel —articles to be forwarded to the Paris Exhibition—were of great value. The prisoner said that in any case he should be dis missed from his situation. Mr. Richardson said there was no doubt of it, and pointed out a clause to that effect in the company's bye-laws. Mr. Flowers said that culpable as the prisoner's conduct was he could not but think the dismissal from his employ ment sufficient punishment. The prisoner might therefore be discharged. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. DARING ROBBERY AT A JEWELLER'S. —A man who re fused his name and address was charged before Mr. Knox with stealing a silver watch of the value of £7, the pro perty of Mr. Charles Burdett Cooke, jeweller, No. 72, Oxford-street. Mr. Charles Cooke, the prosecutor's son, said that about eight o'clock the previous evening the prisoner came into his father's shop and asked to see some watches. He showed the prisoner some and, he said he would call again the next day. Being anxious to do business he showed the prisoner another watch of the value of £7, and he snatched it out of his hand and ran out of the shop. He went after the prisoner and brought him back, when the prisoner took the watch out of his pocket and in a passion threw it against the wall. He then sent for a constable and gave the prisoner into custody. Police-constable Malcolm Hunter, 338 A, said that he was called to the prosecutor's shop, and took the prisoner into custody, and on searching him at the station he found in his possession a shilling, a comb, and a large piece of granite. The prisoner did not deny the charge, but re fused his name and address. He had seen the prisoner, in company of two other men, about the Strand and Regent street lately. The prisoner said the constable had never seen him in Regent-street, or anywhere else, with any one. Mr. Knox said ho would like the prisoner to be well looked at by the police, as he believed ho had been at the court before. Inspector Hubbard, E division, said that should be done Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner. LAMBETH. A DANGEROUS WOMAN.—Mr. Bosley, of No. 3, Cross street, Newington, charged a young woman named Ann Beasley, a female of easy virtue, with the following violent outrage upon the complainant. The evidence went to show that about 12 o'clock last night the prisoner entered a pie-shop in which the prosecutor was serving, and called for a kidney pie. She entered one of the " dress boxes," and the female attended upon her with the pie as ordered' and was also furnished with a highly polished knife. Everything appeared to have been done for the comfort of the defendant, and she commenced eating the savoury trifle, but she suddenly changed her mind, called to the complainant, and said she was not at all satisfied with the pie, and she wished it changed for another. The complainant said, as she had partially eaten the pie, he could not think of changing it, when defendant flew into a violent passion, swore that if he did not change the pie she would servo him out, and at the same moment laid hold of a plate and threw it at complainant. Before any one could lay hold of her to stop her violence she threw another plate at his head, and finally a third one. This was of large size, and it struck him on the bridge of the nasal organ, cutting it open. The prisoner then rushed into the street and fell down. Prisoner—l did not fall down, but was pushed down by the prosecutor. The Magistrate—But why did you throw the plates at this man ? Defendant—l was aggravated, for I ordered a kidney pie, and he sent me a beef ono instead. I did not like it, and I therefore insisted upon his changing it, and when he would not do so I have no doubt that I did only what I ought to have done by throwing the plates at him. The Magistrate—Very wrong on your part ; you ought to know how to keep your temper. Police-constable 114 P said that be was called to a dis turbance in front of the fish shop, and the prisoner was exceedingly violent and was using filthy language. The Magistrate—Do you know her? The officer said that she was in the habit of walking the streets near the Elephant and Castle and was a trouble some customer. The Magistrate fined her 30s. or: imprisonment. The fine not being paid the defendant was sent to prison. THAMES. HORSE AND CART ROBBERY.—AIfred Hall, aged 57, was brought up on remand, charged with stealing a horse and cart, a hogshead of sugar, and five bags of sugar. This was one of the numerous horse and cart robberies which have been lately committed in the neighbourhood of the docks, in Southwark, and in other places, and which have fortunately received a check by the apprehension of two notorious receivers —Hill, a baker, Bethnal-green, and M'Croe, a coal dealer, Whitechapel, on whose premises 50 cases of gin, valued at £BO, were found concealed by Dun away and Eldridge of the H division. The 50 cases of gin were taken out of a cart belonging to Mr. Day, a car man. Tho horse and cart were left unattended for a short time by Mr. Day's servant, and in his absence were driven away. The horse and cart were found in a distant suburb the same night by the police. The 50 cases of gin were gone, and were afterwards found by Dunaway and Eldridge in the houses of the two receivers. A large quantity of other valuable property stolen from carts was found in the dwelling and business premises of Hill, and a portion has been identified. Ia the case of the prisoner Hill it appeared he induced a carman named Edward Jones to leave his horse and van, a hogshead of sugar, and five bags of sugar in Leman-street, White chapel, and said he wanted him to fetch a parcel. Jones was taken to a public-house, and while he was in conver sation with the prisoner his horse and van were driven away. They were found the same evening iu Christian street, near the prisoner's own dwelling. Five bags of sugar only were missing ; the hogshead of sugar was too ponderous and heavy for the thieves to dispose of easily. Police-sergeant Dunaway, 11 H, requested another re mand of the prisoner Hall, who had been just identified as having been concerned in another horse and cart robbery, and stealing 50 cases of gin. Two receivers named Hill and M'Cree were in custody, and remanded until Wednes day next. Mr. Partridge said ho should cot tainly remand Hall again until Wednesday next, and he was very glad that some check was being put on the audacious horse and cart rob beries in London. A fow days since he presided at the Southwark Police-court, and a very bad case of the kind was brought beforo him. A horso and cart, and property to the amount of £l5O had boon stolen. He remanded the prisoner until Wednesday next. SAVAGE ASSAULT BY A WAGGONER.—Goorgo Pelyost, aged 34, of 25, Ellen-street, Back Church-lane, St. George in-the-East, was brought before Mr. Partridge charged with violently assaulting Henry Old, of East Perry-road, Poplar. • The complainant, a little man, and labouring under ill health, is one of the toll collectors on the Commercial-road trust, and is a very civil and obliging man. He was sta tioned at the Pciplar turnpike yesterday, and the prisoner passed through with his waggon and horses on his way to the West India Dock. His waggon and load were weighed on the weigh bridge, and he paid the proper toll and passed on. Soon afterwards the prisoner sent a boy to the toll collector for another ticket, and it was repre sented he had lost the ono he received from Old. The boy was informed that another ticket could not be given, but that the toll would not be charged a second time. The prisoner soon afterwards returned to the toll-house, smarting with rage, and struck him a severe blow with his fist under the jaw, and said "I should like to smash your face in." Ho attempted to hit him again, and was prevented by William Gill, another collector, with whom he had a severe struggle, and upon whom he attempted to commit other assaults. He was then secured. Mr. William Giles, surgeon, said the complainant had been labouring under an affection of the heart for several yearn, and the blow had injured him very severely. Ile could not articulate for two hours after ho received the blow, and was unable to masticate his food. Tho prisoner said ho was very sorry, ho had a drop too much. He was willing to make compensation. Mr. Partridge said the prisoner had committed a das tardly and unprovoked assault, and fined him 405., in de ault a month's imprisonment.

(Signed) RoULAND• IRELAND. DUBLIN, March 29. There is such a calm now after the Fenian storm that even the occasional arrests of persons involved in the late movement excite little or no interest beyond the localities in which they occur. The Fenians have always shown so much prudence in their collisions with the constabulary that there are no cases of desperate resistance to enliven the re cords or give the captors a chance of more rapid promotion. We hear sometimes of " clever arrests ;', but this is when a dwelling is so well surrounded by the police while the person wanted is asleep that he finds escape impossible when he awakes, or when an elaborate disguise in costume proves unavailable. A case of the latter kind has just occurred at Kil teely, in the county of Limerick, where a man named Michael Grogan, who led the party which took possession of the empty constabulary station, was taken in the disguise of a priest or a monk, about to depart for France or America. He was so admirably made up that the reportsayshe would have deceived " the most experienced London detective"—a com parison probably suggested by an Irish brother of the same craft. Grogan had a good deal of money in his possession. Three other prisoners were brought into Limerick yesterday from Kilmallock by Head-constable Adams, who so gallantly repulsed the Fenians in that town. Their names are Haw thorn, Riordan, and Hogan. The Limerick magis trates have discharged 28 of those who were lodged in the county gaol on the charge of treason-felony, but there are 93 remaining to be disposed of. At Mill-street, in the county of Cork, a resident of the town has become an informer, and it is pro bably to his evidence Capt. Leader referred when he asked for a postponment of the case of those charged with attacking his house. In consequence of this information four of those who were let out on bail on Tuesday have been re-arrested and committed for trial at the Commission. Nine others have been committed from the same place, charged with an attack on the Mill-street Police-station, as well as upon Mount Leader-house. They all belong to that neighbourhood. Other arrests have been made at Killavullen, Kanturk, and . Mallow. In the last place a cattle dealer was taken into custody on his way to a fair, in conse quence of some treasonable sentiments he uttered while getting refreshments. He was released after a few hours, but too late to do his business at the fair. IMPORTANT CAUTION.—The nnprezedented success of Rowlands' Macassar Oli during the last half century in pro moting the growth, restoring, and beautifying the human hair, has caused imitators to spring up in every possible variety ; some so far copy the label as frequently to de:eive the unwary; some offer to dispose of the recipe of A Macas sar Oil (omitting Rowlands' name), with other recipes of a similar character for a few postage stsmps, whilst others profess to manufacture the real (?) article at a considerably reduced puke, it the public will only purchase it. Indeed, the name of these wretched purloiners from cheap and trashy receipt books is " Legion," and calls for more than usual care on the part of the purchasers in their selection of articles for the toilet. Messrs. Rowlands have complaints repeatedly from parties who have materially suffered from the use of these trashy compounds ; and to frustrate to some extent such impositions purchasers should see that Ridw - lands' name is on the wrapper of each bottle. CROCODILES IN CALIFORNIA.—At the meeting of the Academy of National Sciences on the 19th Novem ber, Professor Blake exhibited about 20 fossil vertebrra of what he believes to have been a great marine saurian, or crocodile. Those bones are each about four inches long and three in diameter, and, together with teeth of sharks and other remains, were found in Tulare Valley, 1,500 feetiabove the ocean.—Alta Californian. THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, 6 o'CLocK. DENMARK. COPENHAGEN, March 29.—The King of Den mark will not go to Paris as reported. His Majesty is to return here as soon as possible. Prince John leaves on Sunday for Greece. The King of the ilellenes is to go first to St. Petersburg to marry the Princess Olga, daughter of the Grand Duke Constantine. his Majesty will arrive here in the month of May. 'I.. as. The Engine-Driver& -----~ -- Thursday, the strike being at an end, and the whole of the engine -drivers and firemen, together nearly 400 in number, having returned to wollz, the passenger traffic of the London, Brighton, and South-Coast Railway Company was resumed as well on the main lines as on the subsidiary ones, and the excitement consequent up on the dispute in the early part of the week had died away. The leaders in the movement, being better employed, held no meet ing at the Green Man, in Tooley-street, their head quarters, and the authorities, at the London Bridge terminus, were relieved from the embarrassment they had experienced on the two previous days. The men are much pleased with the result, and have gone to work with a will. They have not quite at tained all they wanted, but the directors having generously conceded nearly all they asked, and having besides met them half-way in the only re maining point of difference—that of promotion— both parties are satisfied, and the pride of neither has been offended. All or most of the trains to and from London and Brighton, as well as those on all the coast lines and branches between Portsmouth, Hastings, Horsham, Guildford, and Tunbridge-wells have been running since Wednesday, and yesterday the ordinary trains were resumed over the whole suburban system between London-bridge, Victoria, Crystal Palace, Croydon, Epsom, Leatherhead, and Dorking, and on the South London line. Some misapprehension appears to exist outside as to the actual time the drivers are ordinarily upon their engines from day to day. During the dispute it was said, and rightly said, that 10 hours a day was surely sufficient for a man to be so engaged, and especially in winter, having regard both to the safety of travellers and his own needful rest and re creation. The directors complain that this part of the case has been misunderstood by the public, and in consequence invested with an appearance of hardship which does not really exist, or only to a limited extent. In proof of that they cite the case of the driver of an express train on the main line. He leaves Brighton in the morning for London, where he rests some hours, and on leaving his engine in the evening on his return to Brighton be may not have been more than four or five hours on ac tual duty during the day. That, however, is an exceptional case, and occasionally the interval of rest is abridged by his having to take a goods train from the London-bridge station to New-cross and back. Another driver will go first from Brighton to Hastings iu the morning, thence to London, and then from London to Brighton. That is considered a long day, but a longer day still is where a man drives an engine from 13righton to Portsmouth, thence to London, returning to Brighton in the evening. That the managers say is the longest day's work they have, and even in that case the man is not more than about seven hours upon his engine. He has, however, in addition, to be at the station half an hour before the train starts in the morning, and ou Lis returning in the evening he is supposed to be occupied another half hour in seeing that his engine is all right before he goes home. During the summer season, when the passenger traffic is brisk, a driver performs the distance from Brighton to London and back, twice in a day, but in that case he is paid for overtime. These are matters on which the directors and superintendents desire to be set right with the public. Again, they say it is unjust to the highly-skilled men, and to the public, as respects the greater safety of railway travelling, to claim that all engine-drivers shall receive a uni form rate of pay, without distinction. They con tend that an engine-driver requires training just as much as a man. put to any other trade, or perhaps more. In the South of England drivers have usually been agricultural labourers, and are first put to clean engines, then to act as firemen, after wards as engine -drivers, first of ballast-trains, until they have acquired a sufficient amount of experience to justify their being intrusted with the driving of passenger trains. The men, on the other hand, say that after a certain time a man is, or ought to be, a properly-qualified driver, and being so that he ought to depend upon his superintendent or fore man promoting him. One reply of superintendents and managers to that is, that there are many men good drivers, but whom they would never hink of trusting with the charge of an express train, from want of nerve. However that may be, the whole secret of the recent strike— and it may be well for those whom it concerns to remember it—is said to have been the tardy and procrasti nating spirit shown by the foremen as a body for years past in recognising the claims of drivers to promotion, and, consequently, to the higher rate of pay. That, again, is said to have resulted from the pressure put upon the directors at meet ings of the shareholders to economise expenditure, and again by the directors upon those below them. It was the feeling of hope deferred, consequent upon this pressure and upon the neglect or delay of foremen in recognising merit in those below them, that culminated in the recent rupture, which has caused the company considerable loss and the public more or less inconvenience. CONVICTION OF AN ENGLISH PICKPOCKET AT PARIS.—John Mot, an Englishman, has just been tried in the Court of Correctional Police for attempting to pick the pocket of a lady at the Western Railway Station, Paris. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to two years' imprisonment and five years' police surveillance. It will be a source of great regret to our profes sional readers when we inform them that Vice-Admiral Sir Alexander Milne has for the last fortnight been suf fering from a very painful if not serious illness. Tho gal lant officer is, however, we are glad to say, convalescent, and will return on Monday to his official residence from Brighton, to which place ho had been ordered for change by his medical advisers. Army and Navy Gazette. Dr. LUSHINTGON.—Mr. Rothery, the registrar, who disposed of a number of motions at the Admiralty Chamber yesterday, stated that Dr. Lushington would hear any pressing matter at his private residence, and it was expected he would be able to take his seat in the Admiralty Court at Easter Term. THE REFORM BlLL—This bill having passed the second reading, it will be moulded in committee to the views of the majority of the Commons. When thus revised, perhaps recast, the Government will consider whether it is a measure in accordance with the constitu tional principle of representation of all classes and interests, and not of a mere numerical majority. If it be such as they can conscientiously approve, they will accept it and it will become law before the close of the session. If, on the other hand, it should be found to be unsafe, and to en danger civil, religious, and commercial liberty, they will at once dissolve and put it to the country to determine if it desires a pure Democracy. The country will then have its own fate is its own hands, and by that verdict all parties must abide—be it for evil or for good.—Law Times. DUNCE, one opposed to learning ; one slow at learning, &c.

A telegraphic despatch announces that a terrible fire has burnt down a whole quarter of Constantinople. The dockyards of the Golden Horn are entirely reduced to ashes. The loss is estimated at not less than half a million sterling. It is said that the same question will arise in the trial of John H. Surratt as in that of Frank Knapp for the murder of White in Salem, more than thirty years ago, and upon which Webster made his immortal argument. By the old Maryland law, existing now in the District of Columbia—as in Massachusetts, when Knapp was tried, but since altered by statute hero—an accessory cannot be convicted till after his principal has been. As Booth has never been convicted, Surratt cannot be convicted as accessory to the murder, and can only be convicted as principal by proving him pro sent, or so near as to be able to render assistance, if needed. It was the general opinion of the bar of Massa chusetts at the time that Webster's wonderful argument not the law, hung Knapp. How near to the scene of the murder of Lincoln the evidence will bring Surratt, remains for the trial. If, as is generally understood, he was no nearer than New York, it is difficult to see how he can be convicted of the capital offence ; and if not of that, then, under the peculiar statute in question, he can be convicted of nothing. rADVEILTISEMENT.]-. olloway's Ointment.—Throat Af fections.—All the varieties of these distressing complaints may be readily and effectively treated by rubbing this Ointment twice a day upon the neck and chest, and sup porting the strength . by suitable nourishment.
