The following is the text of the memorial trans mitted to the Senate and Cortes of Spain, and to the Finance Minister, by the chairman of the Spa nish Certificate Committee : `.`. l Ve, the representatives of that portion of the sirerittsh public, claimants under the law of 1851, the impression to approach your honourable Chamber with the v.4...Pression of profound respect for your august e athly and for the Spanish nation, whom you re present. s " We have observed with satisfaction that his —"elley the Minister of Finance of Spain, in the 4tehiell t made by him on the introduction of the „ 'oget t o the Cortes on the 10th inst., has drawn e attention of your honourable Chamber to the 11ertance of authorising the Government to pro 'e to an adj us t men t o f th e c l a i m w hi c h we re - Pres ecl ent in accordance with the honour and interest 41 ‘` We beg res p ec tf u lly t o ex p ress t o y our honour -5 Chamber l a c , our conviction that an early and leßlactory settlement of this question will prove no 4 1e 84 ! t dvantageous to Spain than to the parties im ',lately interested therein.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on London 18:25. VI per 41 sterling! On Comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 I is. 10Id. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about the same price in Paris and London. !'he eourse of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about 109/ per cent. At this rate there is scarcely any profit on the importation of gold from the United states. PASSION-WEEK AND EASTER AT JERUSALEM.— A communication from Jerusalem states that the ceremo nies of the Latin, Greek, and Armenian. clergy in Passion week, as well as the Easter festival, passed off with order and tranquillity. The Florence correspondent of the Independence Beige, writing on the 21st, says : —" Garibaldi has just left Florence. He has gone to a country seat near Arezzo, and appears to be determined henceforth to concentrate all his attention and all his efforts upon the Roman question. His health is completely re -established." Wo are glad to observe that the Royal Horticul tural Socieiy, following the example set by the Interna tional Horticultural Exhibition of last year, announce that their great fete, commencing June 4, will remain open for five days, and we understand it is intended to admit the public on the Thursday and Friday for is. The policy of giving the reillion a chance of seeing such a grand ex hibition will doubtless prove successful. NEWSVENDORS' BENEVOLENT AND PROVIDENT INSTITUTION.—The annual meeting of the members of this institution took place last evening at the News Exchange, Black Horse-alley, Fleet -street. Mr. B. J. Wood, of the Weekly Dispatch, occupied the chair, and con gratulated the subscribers upon the steady progress which the institution was making. He was happy to say that one pensioner was to be elected during the evening from two candidates, one of whom had been engaged in the news trade upwards of 45 years, and the other 53 years. It was also gratifyin g to know that tho particular feature in the rules which enabled the committee to grant tempo rary relief had been carried out with satisfactory results, the unsuccessful candidates having in many instances received assistance almost equivalent to a pension. The ;secretary then read the 29th annual report of the committee. It announced an increase in the amount of the funds invested, which now reached the sum of .£2,530 The committee at the same time regretted that the annual• subscriptions were slightly under tho amount received last year. But there could be no doubt that renewed exertions were necessary to enable the committee to meet the claims pressing upon the funds of the institution. The balance sheet for the year ending March 31, 1867, showed that the receipts amounted to £341 9s. 10(1., and the expenditure to £309 6s. 3d., leaving a balance of £39 3s. 7d. The report and statement of accounts were received and adopted, and resolutions wore passed re-electing officers and returning thanks to them for their past exertions. The successful candidate for the pension was Robert Fielding, who re ceived 229 votes, 174 having been given for J. M`Ghee. VICTOR HUGO'S SHNSATIONALISM.—ViCIOr Hugo, indeed, may be called the creator of true romance, just as the French call him the creator of their romantic poetry. By those whose application of the word " sensational" is indiscriminate l►e has been thought to merit their favourite accusation. Perhaps they aro right; but if Victor Hugo is " sensational," so is Shakspere when he makes Macbeth murder Duncan ; so is Shelley when lie makes Beatrice conspire against her father's life ; so is Coleridge when lie makes Geraldine take Christabel in her arms; so is Goethe when he introduces Faust to the Devil ; so, in short, is every great man who has ever written, who has chosen subjects more sublime on which to expatiate than a com pany of spinsters drinking tea round a table. [AnvEßYlsEmErf.]—Holloway's Ointment and Pills.— The variable temperature of most climates is always preg nant with colds, catarrhs, tumours, and abscesses, and all scrofulous diseases and glandular affections usually become worse at each variation. Holloway's Ointment, diligently rubbed upon the skin as near to the affected part as possi ble, will be found the most safe and efficient means of im mediately subduing pain and finally eradicating the seeds of future mischief from the system. Whenever the malady is chronic, constitutional or dangerous, Holloway's Pills should be taken to quicken and increase the curative powers. Scurvy, skin diseases, and similar disorders dis appear before the cleansing and healing influence of Hol loway's remedies, which, for their successful employment, only require moderate time and f air attention.

On Tuesday and Friday several hundred complainants were heard before Sheriff Veitch, at the instance of the employers, for warrants to eject the workmen from the houses occupied by them be longing to the different collieries. After considerable dis cussion, warrants of ejection were granted in nearly all the cases. SHARE MARKETS.---This day.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Day, COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Sittings in Banco, before the Lcrd Chief Baron, and Barons Martin, Bramwell, and Channel) COOPER V. WELLS. This case, it will be remembered, was an action brought by Miss Hooper, a governess, and the daughter of a tradesman .in the Borough, on the ground of unlawful dismissal. From the evidence of Mr. Wells, the defendant, a gentleman residing on Hampstead Heath, the defence set up was that plaintiff had been the authoress of certain scandalous letters which had been posted to herself and Mrs. Wells. It appeared that the plaintiff was about to leave the service, and in the November before she was going Mrs. Wells found some pieces of paper in her hand-writing, which induced her to prosecute inquiries, the result of which was that Miss Ilooper was dismissed on the spot. The Lord Chief Baron, before whom the case was tried, went through the whole of the documentary evidence in the case, and carefully read over to the Court the oral evidence of the plaintiff and his wit nesses, and the defendant and his witnesses. Mr. Sergeant Robinson (with him Mr. Joy) then com menced his argument against the rule nisi for a new trial. • At the conclusion of the argument of Sergeant Robinson, the Judges advised that they should allow the Court in Troyer to be withdrawn, the Court granting all the costs, but not the costs of the rule. if this was agreed to the letters should be destroyed. Sergeant Robinson and Serge ant O'Brien then retired to a private room and burnt them, and the matter ended. POLICE INTELLIGEME.—This Day. -+ MARLBOROUGH : STREET. ASSAULT ON A WIPE.--Stephen Carty, a tailor, was brought before Mr. Knox on a warrant by Price, one of tho warrant officers, charged with assaulting his wife, Caroline Carty. _ _ The complainant said that on Monday evening her husband, from whom she had been separated for four months, came to where she was residing and called her out. He wished her to come and live with him again, and as she declined to do so ho struck and kicked her. Mr. Knox asked the complainant whether sho had ever had her husband at the court before, and she said she had, and he was sent to prison for a month for illusing her. Price said that, on taking the defendant into custody, he said it was a trumped up affair. Frost, 168 .E, said he saw the complainant crying on Monday evening, and she said her husband had been ill using her. The defendant denied assaulting his wife. Mr. Knox said he only had the word of the complainant that her husband had assaulted her, and the word of the husband that he had not done so. He should require the defendant to find one surety in £2O to keep the peace for a month. STREET ROBBERY.—Thomas Condon, a young man, was charged with stealing the watch of Mr. George Rudder forth, appraiser, 36, Cleveland-street, Fitzroy-square. The prosecutor was passing along Fitzroy-street yester day, and in passing some men, the prisoner being ono of them, his watch was snatched from him, and a young man saw the prisoner throw something down an area, which afterwards was found to be the prosecutor's watch. Inspector Habford having stated that he believed the prisoner bad been convicted, _ . _ _ Mr. Knox remanded him, to ascertain whether that was so or not. WESTMINSTER. PICKING POCKETS IN A RAILWAY CARRIAGE.—Mary Jones, a woman about 30 years of age, decently dressed, was finally examined, charged with attempting to pick pockets. It appeared from the evidence on the last occasion that the prisoner and a companion got into a first-class carriage from Victoria to Clapham with third-class tickets. There also travelled in that carriage Mrs. Harriet M'Gregor, of Lavender-villas. Whitmore, the guard, went to look after the tickets, and finding the prisoner and friend had third clasi tickets requested them to kayo the carriage. They did so, and the prosecutrix, who had £2 10s. in her pocket, felt the prisoner's hand there ; and the guard also saw the hand in her pocket as far as the wrist, and took her into custody. Mrs. M'Gregor lost nothing. It was now stated that the prosecutrix was not in attendance, and a ticket-of-leave-man told the officer she had been "squared. , ' Mr. W. D. Smyth, solicitor, of Rochester-row, appeared fur the accused, and said the laxly had gone to Russia, and was now probably in St. Petersburg, whither she had in formed the Magistrato she was going. Nithing was missed, and there was nothing against the prisoner pre vious. Us begged that she might be dealt with not as a felon, but for the misdemeanour under the Vagrant Act. Mr. Belfo told prisoner sho was no doubt an adept at the business, and sentenced her to three months' hard labour as a rogue and vagabond. THAMES. John Grady, of Wellington Barracks, a soldier, charged Roger Sweeney with robbing him•of a China medal, at a coffee-house at the corner of Spectacle-alley, NV hitechapel. The evidence proved that the prosecutor and the prisoner met together in Whitechapel, at an early hour that morn ing, and the latter said that he had been a soldier in the but had left on a pens i on . Il e h a d some 10th Regiment, coffee at a stall in the street, and they there adjourned to the coffee-house and had more coffee and rum iu it. After some time the prosecutor fell asleep, but ho was awakened,by abutcher named Wright, who saw the prisoner leaning over the prosecutor's breast, and passing it to and fro as if he were cutting the ribbon. Wright ran after the prisoner, caught him, and the medal was found upon him, when he said he took care of the medal at the request of the prosecutor. The prosecutor denied this, and Mr. Partridge remanded the prisoner till Saturday next. MARKETS...This day. --.►- MARK-LANE. There was a very poor show of English wheat on offer here to-day, coastwise and by railway. The demands for all inactive ; nevertheless, factors were firm in their demands, at prices about equal to Monday. We were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied with foreign wheat. Good and fine parccl.3 were taken off slowly at full quotations; but low and damp parcels were quite neglected. The transactions in floating cargoes of grain were very moderate, at late rates. The small quantity of barley on the stands moved off steadily, at full quotations. Malt was a dull inquiry, but not cheaper. The supply was tolerably good. Oats supported previous rates, with a fair demand. Beans and peas wore firm, but flour was a slow in quiry. BIETP ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

COURTS OF PROBATE.—The compensation annui ties payable to proctors and other of f icers of the abolished ecclesiastical and prerogative courts decreased by deaths to the extent of £2,077 inAhe year 1866. The cost of main taining courts of probate in England and Ireland amounted to £112,232 in that year, and the fees received having but these c re o a n c l p h e e n d sa t i l o 4A 08fi; amountinglef t a stuorxpl37,s74l3,xt2u7r,nBosdi ; the surplus into a deficit of £71,689 to be paid out of the public purse.

SEARCH FOR WILLS.-4:1 the year 1866 no less than 37,643 wills were searched for, and examined if found at Doctors'-commons. The fees, Is. for each will, amounted to £1,882 3s. THE NORFOLK MURDER.--The proceedings in the case of Hubbard Lingley, charged with the murder of his uncle, Benjamin Black, woodreeve on the estate of Sir Hanson Berney, Bart., at Finchatn and Barton Bendish, Norfolk, wore not brought to a close until late on Monday night. They resulted in the commitment of the prisoner for trial. A great mass of evidence. was adduced, but as an outline of the facts has already been given, it is unneces sary to repeat them. On the conclusion of the inquiry the prisoner was removed to Norwich Castle, there to await his trial at the ensuing Norfolk Assizes. We are informed that the solicitors of the Jamaica Committee have abandoned the action brought by thorn against Mr. Eyre in the Court of Exchequer, for false imprisonment, and have issued a writ for the same cause of action in the Overt of Queen's Bench. MIDDLELIAM. Windham is being specially prepared for the Northumberland Plate, and is going first-class again.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. - SALE OF TIIE RAWCLIFFE YEARLINGS. Twenty yearlings from the Rawcliffe Stud were offered for sale on Monday by Mr. Edmund Tattersall at Albert, Gate, and of those eighteen were disposed of, two only re maining unsold, which were a colt by Voltigeur out of Mary, and a filly by Young Melbourne out of Thistle. There were four Newminstere, four Clarets, and the same ' number of Yming Melbournes ; .Voltigeur, Leamington, Jordan, Citadel, Carnival, Blair Athol, and Brother of Bird on the Wing claiming parentage to the others. Owing to I the severe weather that has prevailed in Yorkshire, these yearlings were not so forward as youngsters bred in the South, but they were healthy and unencumbered with flesh, the state in which a trainer prefers to get thorn. Without ex ception, they were as sound a lot as we over inspected, their hocks and joints being well formed and free from disease. The eighteen lots disposed of realised 2,650 guineas, being an average of nearly 148 guineas each, a price which can hardly be considered remuuerati re, when the great expense attending the roaring of blood stock aro considered. The recent resolution promulgated by Messrs. Tattersall, that all animals should be paid for before being removed, may in some instances have prevented more liberal prices being given ; but in the end it is likely to prove advantageous to all parties. Considering that it was the Monday after the Derby, the attendance was not so large as usual, and many of the principal Turfites were absent, being probably en gaged with more important business in the roonwadjoin ing. The Voltigeurs figured rather ingloriously, the only one sold being the filly out of Kildouan's dam, which is very moderate, and brought her full value. The filly by Jordan out of Emeute, a useful wear -and-tear sort of ani mal, and certain to race, also went cheap to Mr. Saxon. Tho Young Melbournes were next put up, but were not much ad mired,being deficient in quality. Tho first of them, a filly out of Thistle, was not sold, _there being no bidder for her, and the other three were taken by Mr. B. E. Dunbar (owner of Tormentor) at low prices. The colt out of Pauline brought the most money, and will prove the best of the three. Prince Soltykoff obtained ono of the most useful colts of the entire lot for the small sum of 50 guineas. Ile is by Citadel out of a mare by Jordan, and although low in con dition has fine girth and good back, with extraordinary well set hocks. The Carnival colt mot with an accident on tho day previous to the sale, and was in consequence stiff in his quarters. He is small; but well topped and compact. The colt by Brother to Bird on the Wing was, in our opinion, the cheapest animal sold. Mr. Oldacre, after some little competition with Prince Solty koff, obtained him for 70 guineas, and afterwards transferred him for a consideration toMr. 11. Porter. The Blair Athol colt is large and powerful, but his action is not good. The Newmiusters were put up next, and consisted of two colts and two fillies, which produced in the aggregate 1,160 gs. The "gem" of the sale was the filly by Newminster out t of Dutchman's Daughter, a remarkably well - grown, racing like animal, with splendid legs and sound joints. After some spirited bidding between Mr. Angell and Mr. Holmes, the latter gentleman obtained her for 560 guineas, at which price she was decidedly cheap. The recent success of Hermit should have stimulated bidders to give better prices for the stock of Newminster, as the old horse cannot pos sibly last many years longer. The filly by Claret out of Queen Bee, although rather small, is compact and well shaped, with good legs and feet ; but she owed her price more to the reputation of her half-sisters, Cerintha and Collins, than to her own excellence. The colt by Claret out of Sphynx (dam of Beeswing, winner of the Chester Cup) is large and well topped, but leggy. He was elemined carefully by Squire Ileatlicote„ who, however, did not ap pear to fancy him, and in consequence Mr. G. Angell ob tained him, but gave quite enough for him. The list of prices and purchases is appended; which shows an average of upwards of 9 guineas : Bay filly by Voltigeur out of Shamrock (dam of Kil donan) (Mr. Holmes) 40 Brown filly by Leamington out of Annie Laurie (Captain Walker) 30 Bay filly by Jordan out of Erneute (the dam of Schiedam) (Mr. Saxon) 65 Brown filly by Young Melbourne out of Jewess (darn of Birague) (Mr. B.

The Lords' amendments to this bill were considered and agreed to. • THIRD READINGS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : —Dalkey Township, Rochester .Oyster Fishery, Wilford Bridge, Wrexham, _Mold, and Connell's Quay Railway Liverpool Improvement. GREAT NORTH OF SCOTLAND RAILWAY BILL. On consideration of this bill, Mr. DODSON called attention to its provisions, and stated that the capital of the railway was £1,530,000, and its liabilities £168,000. The capital raised was £830,000, E 0 that there was a deficiency of more than £400,000. The company hadpower to issue £378,000 additional preference shares, but in the state of the money market these shares could not be issued. The company had also further powers to raise money by loan; which it had not yet exercised,to the extent apf £75,000. The proposition of this bill was to cancel the power to issue the £378,000 unissued preference shares, and to take power to issue £330,000 pre-preference shares. The proposition was of so novel a nature, that ho had thought it prop3r to bring the matter before the house. Mr. HADFIELD gave notice that to-morrow he would move for a committee of inquiry into the general question. Mr. BOUVERIE thought the hon. member for Sheffield should make this a distinct motion, and not as an amend ment to the third reading of this particular hill. Mr. SAMUELSON and Colonel W. PATTEN said it would create great distrust on the part of shareholders in railways if new stock was in this manner to obtain a pre-preference, and thought the subject should be inquired, into. The bill was then ordered to be read a third time. The North British Railway (Carlisle Deviation) Bill wa s also considered, and ordered to ba read a third time. The Ahatillery Gas and Water Bill and the Great Eastern, Railway Finance Bill were road a second time. GREAT YA.RMOUTII AND LANCASTER. Mr. BAXTER gave notice of his intention to move that these boroughs should only be deprived of one member each. LAST NIGHT'S COUNT-OUT. Colonel FRENCH called attention to the count-out last night, and remarkel that no business was being transacted when the motion to count was made. He wished to know what would be done to provide against a recurrence of the circumstance. In order that the matter might be discussed he moved the adjournment of the House. Major S. KNOX said his object in moving th it the house be counted was because an obnoxious measure—the Eccle siastical Titles Bill—was coming on, and he came down specially for this purpose. Mr. BOUVERIE thought the now practice was liable to gross abuse. He remarked that the Speaker was scarcely in the chair when the motion for the count was made, and that the hon. member for Armagh was at the door keeping members out. It was matter for consideration whether some rider should not be added to the motion made on Monday by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, so as to pre serve the rights of private members. Sir H. ED WARDS hoped the remarks of the member for Roscommon Would be listened to, and that such a case would not occur again thib session. Last night the leaders of the Opposition were conspicuous by their absence. Mr. VANCE said he approved of the count out last night, because he thought the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill was of too much importance to be considered in a small House. He was much delighted under the circumstances that the House was counted out. Mr. G. HARDY said, with respect to last night, the Government did their best to got a House. He did not think there would have been any difficulty in doing so, but he believed the count out depended more on those who had come down than on those who had not. It was his earnest desire that the rights of private members should be maintained, and ho trusted and believed that no more counts out would tAke place. _ Mr. NEWDEGATE complained of the studious absene3 of members of the House belonging to the Established Church when matters like the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill were under consideration. The motion for adjournment was then withdrawn, and the subject dropped. UNIFORMITY ACT AMENDMENT BILL. Mr. FAWCETT moved the second reading of this bill, the object of which is to allow the colleges of Oxford and Cambridge to admit to fellowships persons who are not members of the Established Church. It might be inquired, who asked for this bill ? Iu reply he would remark that it was a numerous body of terows of the colleges of both Universities. It was true that the majority was against them, but he wished to make the Universities national institutions. It was time the barriers that at present kept the prizs of the Universities entirely for the members of the Church of England should los removed. lie felt that in the event of this reasonable proposition being refused it would become the duty of those who supported his view of the question to take steps to attain their object in a more direct and effectual manner. The measure was mujerats, simple, and permissive, as the provisions of the measure could not come into force while the majority of any college had decided to put the act into operation. Mr. I‘IOIO.IISON seconded the motion. Mr. SELWYN disapproved of the motion, and there fore he moved that the bill bi read a second time that day six months, because he feared that the actual result of the bill would not only admit those which were at present ex cluded, but enable those who professA no religion at all to claim a portion of the university emoluments. Mr. GORS seconded the anietdnieut. Mr. P. URQUHART supported, and Sir W. HEATHCOTE opposed, the till. _ _ • - Sergeant CLIZELEE supported the bill, and said that the fact of none of tto heads of the colleges having peti tioned the house in its favour was a circumstance favour able towards the bill, because no body, however corrupt, was in favour of reforming itself. Mr. GLADSTONE said the attempt to maintain the present state of things was desirable in the interest neither of the colleges themselves or of those not in conformity with the Church of England. The attainment of a fellowship was a crowning act of a university career, but then came the question whether the clergy were to be educated without reference to religious opinions. The right lion. gentleman then proceeded to argue against the bill now under the consideration of the house as a measure which did not deal with the matter in broad manner, and concluded by saying ho felt he could not give his vote in its favour. Mr. B. IlurE opposed, and Mr. CARDWELL supported the bill. The latter hon. gentleman proceeded at some length to criticise the speeches that had been made by the hon. and learned member who moved the amendment, and with respect to the bill not affecting Roman Catholics, he thought if they read the bill a second time they could remedy that in committtee. Mr. G. 'LARDY thought the bill a very bad one, and as it was a step in the wrong direction ho hoped the house would reject it by a large majority. Mr. BOUVERIE would cordially give his vote in favour of the second reading. The house divided, when there appearel— For the second reading Against it Majority for the bill —4l The other orders of the day were then di, , posed of, and the house adjourned. Professor Harrison and his Pupils. This afternoon, Professor Harrison, of the Sheri dan Knowles public- house, Brydges-street, facing Drury-lane Theatre, appeared at Bow-street before Mr. Flowers, to answer a summons served on him by Mr. Buck, the warrant officer of this court, for murderous assaults on James Rainey and William Jolly, in his tap-room, on Monday night. Both the complainants appeared in court with their heads covered with bandages ; and from their evidence it appeared they were drinking in the tap-room, when some angry words having ensued, the defendant took up a pint pot, and inflicted such serious in juries on the plaintiffs that they had both to be taken to King's College Hospital to have their wounds dressed. Evidence to the above effect having been given, the magistrate remanded the prisoner till Saturday, for the production of a medical certificate. Bail was accepted, himself in £lO.O and two sure ties of £5O each. The requisite bail having been tendered and accepted the prisoner was liberated. BELGIAN COAL.—Notwitbstanding the great in crease the greater qua ntities of Eaglish coal import e d b y the none), they . have also hid to appaal to B e l g i um for cr ease in the indigenous co J p roduction of France, A ; i larger and larger coal supplies. Thus in 1,;61 Prance reCO.Vt3 , - .- 3 ,130 1 1 '•45 tons of Belgium coal ; in 1865 , 3,3:,0,782 tons; and in 1865, 3,785,711 tons. The quantity of coke imported into France from Belgium in 1864 was 414,707 tons; in 1865, 474,517 toes; and in 1866, 512,591 tons. The total imports of Belgium coal and coke into- France were accordingly—in 1861, 2,594,892 tons ;in 1865, 3,823,299 tons ; and in 1866,4,298,305 tons. Considerable as were the imports of English coal into France, they were thus out-distanced altogether by the supplies received from B e lgi um . Th e deliveries of coal from the Zollverein to Bel g i um experienced a great expansion last year, the total b e i ng 2 2,086 tons as compared with 1,338 tons in 1865, and 1,031 tons in 1864. The Zoliveroin also sent to Belgium last year 3,080 tons of coke, making the total deliveries of coal and coke 23,166 tons. It may be interesting to add that while France imported 3,785,711 tons of Belgian c - al last year, the corresponding imports in 1856 were 3,055,086 tons; in 1816, 1,850,206 tong; la 1836, 272,065 Wu. 715,871 t ons; i n 1826, 410,611 ; and i n 1818, 20 at at 100 :Oh 10 100 I st 100 too 10 too no , SSE 100 too 100 all 100 100 6 BH 10.21 ,
