NnWEY MARKET OMMERCIA t AND ti+friN TWILYI O'CLOCK. The directors of the Bank of England at their /fleeting this day have made no change in their terms for discount. Notwithstanding the confi dence felt in the present Government the unsettled State of affairs naturally deters monetary and com mercial enterprise. At the Bank of England there were no gold ope rations of importance yesterday afternoon. The Hermann, from New York, has brought £45,000 in specie for England, and a small amount for Bremen. Biddings for £300,000 in bills on India took place Yesterday at the Bank of England. The minimum Price was fixed at ls. Hid. en Calcutta and Madras, and is. Hid. on Bombay. No tender of import ance was received at these prices. Mr. Thomas Gaskell, jun., an underwriter at Lloyd's, has forwarded circulars to his creditors . intimating his inability to meet his engagements, and stating that he has placed his affairs in the bands of Messrs. Brown, Son, and Hays, accoun tants. We understand that a contract was signed yester day by• Mr. Cyrus W. Field, acting on behalf of t he New York, Newfoundland, and L'ondon 'Tele graph Co., with the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Co. for a submarine cable between Placentia, Newfoundland, and Sydney (Nova Scotia). The line will be laid in the early part of the summer. Mr. Field, havingeffected this very satisfactory arrangement in the interests of Atlantic telegraphy will leave for New York in the Great Eastern on the 20th of March. From the inactivity which has characterised the Stock Exchange generally during the past week, the American market has not been exempt. The absence of business both on home and Continental account has caused quotations of United States Government Securities to sympathise entirely with prices received by telegraph from New York. Since our last the quotation for 5.20 Bonds has improved one-half per cent., closing 734 and 73i. The difference between this issue and that of 1865 is now about one and a half per cent. For railroad shares the demand has been very limited—lllinois Central are last quoted 7 7 to being a slight improvement, while Eries have declined to 364 to 361. It is stated that the London and Colonial Com pany (Limited) being in a state of difficulty it has been arranged to place it in liquidation, and Mr. Theodore B. Jones, the accountant, and Mr. J. Spong, the late manager, will carry out the arrange ment with the authority of the Court of Chancery. This company was established in 1859, and took over the business of Mr. Robert Tooth and other Parties connected with the Australian trade. The depreciation in Australian assets and the depression lo general trade will account for these embarrass- Ments. According to the" Joint-stock Companies' Directory" for 1867 the capital is 060,000, of Which £200,000 is paid up. The last dividend was declared at the rate of 12i per cent. per annum. rhslast week's Railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round figures as under :-- Oreat Western North Western south W es t ern trighton dl and ••• .outh Eastern ir C hlat Northers ',Jar 1867. 1866. ... 67,598 67,500 ...110,369 106,484 ... 22,217 22,141 ... 18,804 16,346 ... 51,531 41,433 ... 21,175 19.147 ... 36,597 33,438 i,) 4l calhire and Yorkshire... 43,597 41,070 No rth and Exeter... ••• ••• ••• 6,128 5,823 I , o rth East ern 70,141 66,472 ▪ 83 aohester Sheffield and Lincoln 20,591 19,627 G roat Eastern ... 82,229 31,560 Lo _ ••• ••• ci l l mon, Chatham, and Dover ... ••• 8,777 8,030 a sgow and South-Western ... .... 9707 10,100 .

On the Great Western there is an increase of £9B ; on the North- W estern of £3,885 ; on the South-Western of £76 ; on the Brighton of £2,458 ; on the Midland Of £3,098 ; on the South-Eastern of £2,028; on the Gr eat Northern of £3,159; on the Lancashire and Yo rkshire of £2,527 ; on the Bristol and Exeter of £305 ; on the North Eastern of £3,964; on the M anchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln of £964 ; on t ) 7e Great Eastern of £669 ; on the London, Chat ,fttn, and Dover of 047 ; on the Great Southern 1 1 11(1 Western of Ireland of £526 ; on the Metropo tan of £3l; on the Midland and Great Western o f Irel and of £257 ; and on the North British of £1 ,984. At a meeti n g held to-day of the East India Land Cr edit_ Company the report presented by the direc tors stated that the net profits of the company amo unted to £12,826 ls. 10d., making, with £2,118, ss. 3d. carried forward from last account, , 4 ,941 7s. ld. The shareholders will be prepared 4'...1 learn that, consequent on the severe crisis here a nd in the East, the realisation of certain assets °I • this company will be attended with loss; but, after a most careful estimate, the directors are glad to be able to assure the shareholders that such loss Will not exceed £22,000, against which they have the balance at credit of profit and loss of £14,944 7s. Id. above mentioned. After mature considera tion the directors have determined to postpone the division of profits for the present, and trust in their desire thus to strengthen the position of the e°ol Pany they will receive the concurrence of the Bn areholders. In submitting this report the direc tors have the satisfaction of informing the share holders that during the past ex ce p tional year this clll Pally has, without any sacrifice of its property, m et all engagements, and, by prudently narrowing all l iabilities, has entered upon no business that : 4 1 4 in any way render necessary a call upon the 11.44reholders. The reduction of liability on the : cal led capital continues to have the attention of 'l 3 °lll ' Board, and they hope in a short time to lay co ef° re you a scheme for the reconstruction of the rem ind In the meantime the directors would the the shareholders, that as the total debt of 1 5 2_ C ompany is limited to the payment of the de ntures and deposits as they fall due, amounting • less than one-third of the paid-up capital, the n liability is at present virtually nominal. Two O'CLOCK. „_ l4O particular change has taken place in the dis 'mint market since the adjournment of the Bank l'e nianism, trades' unions, and the inclement state of of th e Weather have added to the previous heaviness t he iln Stock Exchange markets.

Account 9oi DEBRETT'S PEERAGE AND BARONETAGE FOR 1867 are improvements (as usual) upon the best of their predecessors. And they are so after more than one whole century's existence. They are beautifully printed, as usual, and with an eye (as usual) to the utmost accuracy both of fact and of typo graphy. The heraldic emblazonments are de rived in every instance originally from Heralds' College in Doctors' Commons, but they have beyond that in the majority of instances received supple mentary revision under the hands of the chiefs of the families referred to in the various biographies. One im mense improvement peculiar to the present edition of De brett, this new issue of it for 1867, as compared even with the best of all its predecessors, the edition for 1866, is the addition of the Family Names of the Peers in their alphabetical order. The facilities thereby supplied for instant reference, almost, one is tempted to say, all but just perfected. Sup plemented again to each Peer's biography is the biography also of his immediate predecessor. There is a biographical notice too attached to the name of each member of the House of Convocation. Added to all which there is now included in this advanced and revised and all but perfected edition of Debrett's Peerage—what has thus, for the first time, been given in any peerage whatever—the addresses of the Sons and Daughters of Peers. Particular interest, again, is imparted to the second of the two volumes under notice, by its embracing within it memoirs of the new members of the House of Commons, as well as of the new additions to the roll of Baronets and Knights. As the handiest, cheapest, most correct, impartial, and independent of all the Guides to the Lords and Commons, as well as to all the Baronets and Knights of the United Kingdom, Debrett always secures, what it has for so many years eminently well deserved the welcome due to an old and trusty favourite, a ready and reliable remembrancer. . . ------ ------------- PENNY PART Music--What Next ?—is actually just now being issued from the Press in Weekly Numbers, under the title of " Davidson's Choral Cyclopaadia." What we have yet seen of the Serial is ad mirably well done—the music being arranged throughout by James Brabham, and the words taken either directly from Holy Writ or from such writers as Dr. Watts and Sir John Bowring. As a Collection of Part Music for Singing- Classes, Schools, Families, and Congregations, it cannot possibly prove otherwise than most acceptable. PRIVATE THEATRICALS.—Last night the " Tyro Thespians" gave a performance at their very prettily arranged theatre in Southampton-row. The piece se lected was the excellent burlesque of "Kenilworth," which was given with a dash and spirit that elicited the greatest applause. The part of the Earl of Leicester was capitally sustained by Miss F. Price, the Duke of Sussex found a very captivating representative in Miss Stanyon, and Sir Walter Raleigh was smartly hit off by Miss B. Price. Queen Bess, by Mr. A. Spilling, was a capital bit of burlesque acting, and Miss Coleman, as Amy Robsart, was excellent and telling. Miss Gibbs, as Janet, gave her part with effect; Mr. T. Price, as Tresillian, acted with his usual ability, and Wayland_Smith and Varney were each well sustained by Mr. Stanyon and Mr. B. Hall. From first to last the piece went off with the greatest éclat, and at the fall of the cur tain the applause of a very large audience was enthusias tic. The dresses were superb. riArce, - Great Eastern, E. Anglian, B stock 6 per cent. pt , 1031 North Staffordshire, 21 I,IN ES LEASED 6►T FIXED RENTALb Mid.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—(THis DAY.) , Their lordships met to-day, at half-past eleven o'clock, having been summoned on the second reading of THOMSON'S DIVORCE BILL. Sir G. Honeyman, with whom was Mr. Hannen, opened the case. From the learned counsel's statement it ap peared this bill was brought before their lordships at the instance of Colonel Thomson, of the 54th Regiment of Infantry, for a divorce from his wife, by reason of her adultery with Colonel Bush, also an officer in the British army. In 1852 the petitioner was stationed with his regi ment at Quebec, and became acquainted with his wife, who was the daughter of Admiral Boxer, then in command at Quebec, and th('y were married early in that year . They lived happily together until 1862. In 1857, Colonel Thomson and his wife came to England, and afterwards went to India, where the mutiny had broken out. Colonel Thomson was ordered to assist the other British troops, and left his wife with the wife of a brother officer. On the suppression of the mutiny he joined his wife, but she was obliged to go to the hills at Massouri for the benefit of her health. Colonel Thomson left her with Colonel and Mrs. Herbert, and went to take command of his regiment in another part of India, Colonel Herbert, who was the commanding officer, being absent on leave. He received shortly after he left a telegram from Colonel Herbert desiring him,to come to Massouri imme diately, and, on arriving there, he found that his wife had eloped with• Colonel Bush. That gentleman and Mrs. Thomson left India, and on their arrival in this country took lodgings at Dover, where they lived as man and wife. The Lord Chancellor asked why the case had not been brought before the Divorce Court instead of their lordships' house ? Sir J. Honeyman said that the difficulty in proceeding in that court was the decision given by the judge ordinary in the case of Mrs. Yelverton. That learned judge had said that the court had no jurisdiction un less the parties to a suit were domiciled in England. Col. Thomson had also failed in obtaining redress from the Supreme Court in India, the learned judge of which con sidered that it was a case out of his jurisdiction. He had, however, brought an action for crim. con., and was awarded £lO,OOO damages, and he had obtainbd in this country a a divorce a mensa et t.horo, so that he was quite in a posi tion to apply to the House of Lords for a full divorce. The necessary evidence was given, after which the bill was read a second time. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Right Hon. Sir J. P. Wilde, and a Special Jury.) THE EXTRAORDINARY DIVORCE CASE-WOOD T. WOOD AND STANGER. The further hearing of this extraordinary case was re sumed this morning. The evidence tendered on behalf of the petitioner after we went to press last night consisted entirely of confirma tory proof by the domestic servants as to Mr. Stanger's visits, the only addition being a female witness, named Frill, who was not called on the last occasion, and who also stated that the visits of Dr. Stanger were constant and notorious. The same counsel appeared as yesterday. Ann Loon, a new witness, examined by Dr. Spinks, stated that she was a general servant at Mr. Wood's. For three months during that time Dr. Stanger came most days. Witness often let him in. He came generally in the evening. He came when Mr. Wood was out. He would stay an hour or 50. They were in the dining-room together alone. Witness had knocked at the door and found it locked frequently. She would stay a few minutes until the" door was opened, and then it was so generally by Mr. Stanger. Witness had gone into the room when they were together, and she had seen Mrs. Wood on Mr. Stanger's knee. He was sitting on the couch. She had seen Mrs. Wood sitting at his feet. He was not doing anything to her eyes. Ho did so on one occa sion. Witness remembered Dr. Stanger calling one morning when she was in her dressing-room. She spoke to him from upstairs, and he ran upstairs to her. He stayed a quarter of an hour. She was not ill, and was dressed. Mrs. Wood had talked of Dr. Stanger giving her money, and so that she could get money without asking her husband. She was in the habit of indulging in drink, and was then very free in her con versation. Witness did not remember anything particular that she said. Cross-examined by Dr. Wambey—Mrs. Wood gave wit ness notice. She stayed out later than she ought, and Mrs. Wood would not listen to what she had to say. It was 11 or 12 o'clock. She said she would not have such goings on in her house. Witness went in and saw Mrs. Wood sitting on Dr. Stanger's knee as coolly as possible. Wit ness's memory had been a little "tickled" since she read the account of this trial in the papers. By the Judge—Witness did not know any more about Mrs. Wood's diseases than what that lady had told her herself. On one occasion she told witness that Dr. Stanger had operated on her for a tumour in the womb, and that Mrs. Brownsword was present. Francis Burroughes (examined by Mr. Sergeant Tindal Atkinson) stated that ho knew Mrs. Wood and Dr. Stanger well. Witness recollected Michaelmas, 1865, when he saw Mrs. Wood and Dr. Stanger in the cemetery. The doctor came in from the Shakspere entrance. Witness was filling in a grave. Thomas Spencer came to assist him. (The case was proceeding when we went to press.) MARKETS.--This day. METROPOLITAN CATTLE. To-day's market was but moderately supplied with beasts. The best breeds moved off steadily at Monday's prices ; otherwise the demand was heavy at barely late rates. The top figure was 58 2d per 81bs. The sale for sheep was very inactive on former terms. The best Downs and half-breds were sold at 6s to 6s 2d per 81bs. Lambs were firm at from 7s to 8s per 81bs. The few calves in the market found buyers at full prices, viz., from 5s to 6s per Blbs.

CHARLES NAMEURT'S READINGS AT THE MARYLEBONE INSTITUTION.—A press of Parliamentary and other matter has hitherto prevented our noticing, at the length to which they were entitled, the above gentleman's readings on the evening of the 25th March—of which readings, it is true, brief mention was, nevertheless, made in The Sum of the Wednesday following. We are !almost tempted, by the way, to call these Readings at once " Recitations," for so well acquainted was Mr. Nameurt with the two subjects he had chosen, that there was little necessity for his having recourse to the book before him. This we have always thought (as in Mr. Dickens's in stance, for example) an advanced step towards success in reading to an audience. "The Gathering of the Glans," from Scott's "Lady of the Lake," and the concluding scenes from the " Bride of Lammermoor," wore the subjects chosen for this occasion, and the stirring and animated action of the first, and the dramatic and deeply interesting events of the second, were most effectively given —though equal talent was exhibited in the deliverance of those very opposito delineations of human passion or feeling. The scenes from the "Bride of Lammermoor" a p pea l e d more powerfully to ourselves, it is true—though this may, perhaps, have been owing to individual taste, the subject suiting us better. It appeared to us that there was an originality or peculiarity in those readings w e hadi ra not lly They seemed to us to be teemanations of a gentle itingnoticed.s manly and an educated man, who fully appreciated his l hitherto to '`fine her road "—the T author. And this occurred to us so forcibly as to give rise to the wish that au original tale might be written for Mr. Nameurt. We believe it would be the best advertisement the author could have. We shall hope to hear more of Mr. Nameurt. COMPLIMENT TO A COMPOSER.—A very gratifying incident occurred at the last festival of the Ancient Britons. After the very popular song, "God bless the Prince of Wales," had been sung, Mr. Brindley Richards, the com poser, had the honour of an introduction to his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, who presided over the fes tivities, and received from his Royal Highness a most flat tering and gratifying recognition of his talent as a com poser.

As the weather was so wintry this morning very few horses were out, and those that appeared patronised the roads or the straw beds. The Rake, D'Estournel, Knight of the Garter, the Hermit, Julius, Dragon, Hippie, and Opoponax were all trotting and cantering. Nothing galloped. RICHMOND. The frost is so severe, and the snow falling so heavily, that training operations are suspended for a time. Plaudit, however, continues quite well ; as also do the Oaks mares and Newland. FINDON. William Goater has been driven, by a renewal of wintry weather, to the covered side with his team, where Thalia, Rama, and the rest of the early engaged ones, are trotting and cantering freely. At Stockbridge, Mallon, Ilsley, Lambourne, Middleham, Lewes, and other districts, training has been stopped, the fall of snow keeping the horses in-doors. THE FENIAN INSURRECTION DESPERATE FIGHTING. DUBLIN, Thursday, 11.50, a . m . . ._ Last night a troop of the Scots Greys and a party of constabulary surprised a body of Fenians in the Dublin mountains beyond Tallagh. They fled, leaving a great quantity of arms and ammunition behind them. A telegram from Cork states that shortly after two o'clock on Wednesday morning a large body of insurgents attacked the police barracks at Middleton and were repulsed. They then pro ceeded to Castlemartyr, and on their way fell in with a patrol of four policemen. The constable in charge was shot dead, another was wounded severely in the knee, and the other two were compelled to accompany the insurgents on their marcb.j They ultimately escaped from their captors, and returned to their bar racks. On reaching Castlemartyr, the Fenians attacked the police barracks, but were re pulsed, leaving their leader dead on the field. This party appears to have marched towards Mallow—burning several farm home steads ou their way. The police -station at Burnfort, between Blarney and Mallow, was sacked and burnt. A despatch from Kilmallock reports that on Wednesday morning, at six o'clock, the police barracks at Kilmallock was attacked by 200 Fenians, armed with guns and pikes. There were 15 policemen in the barracks. After a fight kept up for four hours, a reinfore ment arrived to the aid of the police, who then sallied out and put their assailants to flight. Two Fenians were shot dead in the town, and Mr. Bourne, manager of the Union Bank, was shot by the insurgents. The police captured fourteen of the latter, forty pikes, and a number of guns. None of the police were injured. A police barrack at Aherloe was ransacked by the insurgents, and a railway broken between Mallow and Cork. It is reported that the police barrack at Ardmore, near Mallow, was attacked and burned. DUBLIN, Thursday Afternoon. The reports from the provinces represent all tranquil, except in the county of Cork, where several additional outrages were perpetrated on the police and farmers. The total number of prisoners taken is 240. Two more of the wounded have died. Inquests are being held to-day. Railway and telegraph communication with the South is restored. CORK, Thursday. Telegraph communication is still interrupted. The railway track is repaired. The day mail was delayed four hours. The Feniaus are still on the hilts, numbering thousands. The Union Bank manager was shot at The second edition of the 21/ovning Poet contains the folloiving : DUBLIN, THURSDAY MORNING. —Several of the insurgents are dead in Dublin hospitals, and troops are being sent to the South of Ireland, but all is quiet in the West. Many thousand persons left Cork to j tin the Fenians, and 81 men were mis sing yesterday morning from one establishment. Most of the prisoners captured at Drogheda had arms and accoutrements manufactured by a Lon don establishment. A policeman carrying dis patches was wounded at Leixlipe, near Dublin. Yesterday bodies of rebels were seen in different parts of Tipperary, and others arc believed to be in the Wicklow mountains. The constabulary have behaved with great gallantry all through the coun try, and the police of this district deserve great praise. The Great Southern Railway is still broken below Mallow ; a train thrown off yesterday. but no one was hurt. The insurgents are evidently headed by Yankee-Irish, one of whom shot with his own hand on Tuesday a follower for disobedience of orders. The preparations in this city are ample for any emergency. Artillery in all the barracks have to work. Guards and pickets are to carry 201 b. of ball car tridge extra. The weather is very severe in Dub lin ; in the neighbourhood there has been severe falls of sleet. Lord Powerscourt's seat, in Wick low, at his urgent request, has been garrisoned. All the rebels are found to fire Minie rifle bullets. Among the persons captured at Tallagh was a messenger of Sir Thomas Larcom, Uuder Secretary for Ireland. It has been ascertained that from the commercial houses on the north side of Dublin 105 young men are missing, some of these men holding high posi tions in their respective houses. All the missing parties were assiduously attentive up to an advanced hour in the evening. lock while defending ,the bank against the rebels, Three of whom were shot by a sub-inspector of police. There is a report that a party of the Rifle Bri gade came up with the Fenians 16 miles off, near Mallow, several of whom were shot, and some made prisoners. The day mail was sent to Dublin by a war steamer. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS—THIS EVENING. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on tho woolsack at five o'clock. PETITION. Lord LIFFORD presented a petition from the county o: Callow against the sale of spirituous liquors on Sunday. THE FENIAN INSURRECTION. Lord DERBY stated that as great anxiety must neces sarily be felt with regard to the state of Ireland at this time, that he would read to them a telegram which Lad been received at 11.45 that morning, to the eff ‘ct that a large number of arms had been taken—that an attack had been made by the insurgents, in which 13 prisoners had been made, three were wounded, some killed. Dublin, Cork, Limerick, and Waterford were quiet, and the bodies of insurgents were rapidly dispersing. He (the noble earl) had also called at the Homo Office, and had found that a telegram had been received at 3.45, which stated that the insurgents were rapidly dispersing and abandoning their arms, and that they were being actively pursued in every direction. He might add that it was stated that in consequence of the measures that had been promptly taken that no fresh reinforcements would bo required in Ireland. (Hear, hear.) rLEFT SITTING.I HOUSE OF COMMONS.-THIS EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. NEW WRIT. A new writ was ordered to issue for North Salop in the room of Lord Brownlow, called to the house of peers. THE MILITIA BALLOT. Lord ELCHbsTiiciTC;gOlng into committee on supple mental estimates he should move an amendment to the effect that it was advisable that the militia ballot shonld be put in operation against persons of the ages of 20 and 21, with the liberty of procuring substitutes, exceptions being made of all those in the volunteer force. THE DUTY ON SALT. Mr. TOLLEMACHE asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether any reason had been assigned by the French Government for the delay that had taken place in making arrangements for the admission of English manufactured salt into France, which subject had been under negotiation during the last six years ? Lord STANLEY said he had inquired into the subject, and found that the French Government had appointed a commitree to inquire into the subject. When that was done the report would have to be submitted to the Board of Agriculture. He had written to France for infor mation concerning that report, but he had not yet received any reply. Directly he did so he would at otce commu nicate it to the house. PLANTAGENET KINGS. Mr. 0. STANLEY asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if any recent communications had taken place between the English and French Governments as to the removal of the statues of the Plantagenet Kings Henry 11. and Richard Coeur de Li on of England, Eleanor of Guienne and Isabel of Angouleme, from the Chapel of Fontevrault, Anjou, to this country; and if the statues were properly taken care of in the chapel of Fontevrault ? Lord STANLEY said no official communication had passed between the French and English Governments on the subject. Last year he heard that attention had been called to the statues, and a wish expressed that they should be removed to this country. Be did not think it consistent with the dignity of this country to ask for the gift of those statues, but the matter coming to the knowledge of the Emperor Napoleon, with that courtesy which he has in variably shown to matters in connection with this country, his Majesty wrote a letter to the Queen offering those statues as a gift. That offer was accepted, and he supposed they would be removed to this country accordingly. As to the other matter he had no official information, but he believed the statues had been seen in 1863 lying in the vault of a building said to be a convict prison. Beyond that he had no other informa tion. CHOLERA CONTAGION. In reply to Sir J. JE}VOISE, Mr. CORRY said the discovery was not the result of the investigation of any single person, but was the result of a scientific investigation. With respect to the report he did not think it would have been possible to present it any earlier than last year. RUSSIA IN THE EAST. In reply to Mr. LATARD, Lord STANLEY said with regard to the latter part of the right hon. gentleman's question no despatches had been received. With respect to the other despatches alluded to in the early part of his question, ho might say he had seen somo of them, but they had been shown to him confidentially. Had the despatches been received ho thought that in the present state of the whole question it would not be for the public service to have them made public. THE FENIAN OUTBREAK. Mr. C. FORTESCUE asked the right hon. gentleman the Secretary for the Home Department whether he could give the house any further information relative to the un fortunate state of aiTairs in Ireland, in addition to that mentioned in the house yesterday by the Secretary for Ireland. Mr. WALPOLE said some additional telegrams had been received to-day, but they merely gave some more details relative to the information already made known, and therefore they were not of any particular importance. (Hear, hear.) There was no further information in the possession of the Government than that which already had been published in the newspapers, in some of which he regretted to say the facts had been very highly coloured. The latest telegram that had been received was as follows : " 11.40 a.m., Thursday. Railway open to Cork. Thir teen prisoners brought from Limerick and Kilmalioch. Three persons shot. No event of importance reported to day. Dublin, Cork, Limerick, and Waterford all quiet." (Hear, hear.) f M s A n T p p E I yS,. and estimates. He T G e l n e e h r S a o U l u PEEsPePtLh said it was of public imortance that a vote for to num nt committeelolnßyMeYth e E a S r l : n o I y L eYn. i iw o s eT e nrEt t o Ei n crease in the amount to be voted of no less a sum than ber of men should be at once taken. There was an in- Th e excess had been brought about by £412,000, although t he number of men was less than last year. circumstances over which there was no control, but DO part of it was occasioned by makin g p rovision for the relief of regiments serving abroad in India, more especially. The recruiting for the army would also account for a portion of the increase, because next year no less than 21,300 men who entered for ten years would be come entitled to their discharge. The estimated number of men entitled to their discharge by right, taken with these arising from sickness, would on the whole amount to no less than 32,600 men. He did not suppose that it was at all likely that the whole body of men comprised in this number would retire from the army, as it was more than likely a great number of them would re-enlist, still it was but right that the number of men who could retire should be known. The hon. and gallant gentleman then proceeded to detail the purposes of the first seven votes ho proposed to take, and stated that ho felt it impossible to maintain the efficiency of the army at a sum less than set down iu the estimates. The gallant general next dealt with the sum proposed to be taken for the Royal Gun Factory, the number of rifled guns required being estimated at 426. Ho thought it was desirable that the whole army should be furnished with breech-loaders; and with respect to the recommendations of the report of the Royal Commission on recruiting, he said he approved of the establishment for general service in preferance to enlisting for particular regiments, hecauso by that means young recruits would not be so quickly despatched to foreign stations, care being taken Vied recruits should be attached to return regiments rather than those immediately going on foreign service. He also approved of the recommendation of increasing the pay of the soldier 2d. per day, in preference to increasing his rations. (LEFT SPEAKING.) BANK OF FRANCE. PARIS, March 1.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SERIOUS ASSAULT.—John Angus, a lad living in Smith's-court, Windmill-street, Haymarket, was charged before Mr. Knox with the following assault on Mr. Ban dell Payne, bricklayer, of No. 2, Queen's-head-court, Windmill-street. Mr. Payne (whose head was bandaged) said that - on Tuesday night last he was much annoyed by a number of boys jumping and dancing on a cellar flap. He went out and requested them to go away, but they refused. He insisted on them going away, and on attempting to get one of them out of the court he attempted to kick him, and he then pushed the boy. While doing so the pri soner came up and struck him with something he had in his hand, two violent blows on the head. Ho was smothered with blood, and had to go to a medical man and have his wounds dressed. The prisoner asked the prosecutor whether at the time he struck him he was not engaged in knocking his (priso ner's) brother about. Tho prose, utor said he was not. The prisoner had a slltrp instrument in his hand. thspector Harrison said there had been daily complaints from the inhabitants of the nuisance they suffered from the boss in the court. The prosecutor handed Mr. Knox a certificate, signed by Mr. Harris, surgeon, of Windmill-street, to the effect that the prosecutor had received two incised wounds of the temple and face, and that the injuries might have been in- , s tau tly fatal. The prosecutor's son proVed seeing the prisoner strike his father, the prisoner at the same time saying, " Take that, you --.” The prisoner said he had no knife in his hand. Luke Jeffrey, 49 0, said that on taking the prisoner into custody last night he said, "Would you not have done the same thing if a man was knocking your brother about ?" The prisoner said that he saw the prosocutcr knocking his brother about, and he struck him to make him leave off. Thomas Angus, brother of the prisoner, said that the prosecutor knocked him about a good deal. Mr. Knox said he had no doubt the prisoner interfered on behalf of his brother, and if he had only struck the pro secutor with his fist there would have been little in the matter. The question was whether the prisoner used any instrument, and the medical certificate stated that the pro secutor had received two incised wounds, which might have been instantly fatal. The prisoner was not justified in using any instrument, and he might have been standing in the dock on another charge. He would remand the prisoner for a week, and the doctor could then attend. ITEXATIOT:S PROCEEDINGS AGAINST CAB PROBRIETORS. Mr. Robert Norris, cab proprietor, of Black Itorse-yard, Carburton-street, appeared yesterday to answer a summons for having a cab unfit for public use. Hackney Carriage Attendant Jones stated that he found ,he hinges of the cab door a little loose, and the bottom of litr door broken. The Defendant stated that he was not aware there was anything the matter with the cab, he never having received notice from the authorities of the fact, which he was en titled to under the Act of Parliament. He considered the prisoner's case of a most frivolous nature. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he quite agreed with the defendant that the complaint was a trivial one. The defendant was certainly entitled to notice, and he should therefore dismiss► the summons. Several other summonses were dismissed for a similar reason. THAMES. A GERMAN THIEF.—CarI Frederick, a German carpen ter, about forty years of age, was brought before Mr. Par tridge, charged with stealing a bed, 10 pairs of stockings, 24 linen chemises, six knife cloths, and other property, from the house of his brother, Augusto Frederick, Grove street, St. George-in-the East. It appeared, from the evidence of Wilhelmina Frede rick, the prosecutor's wife, that her brother-in-law had been in the practice of assisting there. Three weeks ago the bed was safe on the bedstead; the other things were in a box. After she had missed the property she saw the prisoner several times, and he promised to return the pro perty he had taken away. John Bowmo.nn, a German shoemaker, said he purchased three pawntickets of the prisoner relating to a timepiece, three canvas bags, and a shirt. Henry Hayward, assistant to Mr. Fuller, a pawnbroker, said the prisoner pawned two beds and four pillows for £3, and that the prosecutrix was with him when he pawned them. Mr. Partridge asked the prosecutrix if she had lost two beds. Mrs. Frederick said she lost two beds, two pillows, and two bolsters, worth .£lO. _ _ Hayward said the prisoner redeemed the bed, pillows, and bolsters by means of a false declaration made before a magistrate atter he had sold the duplicate. The prisoner said his sister-in-law allowed him to pawn the beds, bolsters, and pillows, and lent him the money he raised upon the property. The prosecutrix admitted this to be true, and said the prisoner gave her the ticket, and then made a declaration that he had lost, and went with another person and re deemed the property. Mr. Partridge—lt was stated a little while ago that he had sold the ticket. There is nodoubt he made a false decla ration, and there is no doubt his sister-in-law allowed him to take some if not the whole of the property. The pri soner is discharged; uo jury would convict on this evi dence. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. (By Telegraph.) G RATE 112 ND, Thursday Morning.

EVANS I S.—Duriug the early portion of the century the place was held in high repute as a dinner and coffee-room. It acquired the name of the "Star" from the number of men. of rank by whom it wag frequented. It has been said that previous to the forma—. tion of clubs it was no unusual circumstance for nine dukes to cline there in a day. The present hall, to which the cafe department forms a species of vestibule, was built on a plot of ground at the rear of the Covent Garden Hotel. It was erected at a time when the improved quality of the performances attracted more visitors than could well be accommodated in the music room. The garden, which during the last stage of its existence de generated into a receptacle for stunted and sooty shrubs, was famed for having been the property of the well-known Sir Kenelm Digby (1662). At a later period it contained a cottage in which the Kembles occasionally resided when in the full tide of their popularity :t the neighbouring theatre. According to tradition it was iu this cottage that their talented daughter, Miss Fanny Kemblo, was born.— Once a Week.
