At Bow-street Police Court on Saturday Boulton and Park Were again placed before Mr. Flowers for further exami nation, and the court was as crowded as on all former occasions. Mr Poland prosecuted on the part of the Treasury. The prisoners were defended by Mr Bexley and Mr Straight. A gentleman on the part of the Society for the Suppression of Vice applied to the magistrate t : l5 ascertain whether some means could not be adopted to prevent the publication of further details in this very serious case. Mr Flowers said he had received certain communications !Le to the propriety of making the present a closed inquiry, but that sort of proceeding was very much disliked. He had no power over the newspapers, but he hoped the greatest discretion would be used in the reports they might think it necessary to publish. Mr Poland said he regretted he should be compelled to call a few mare witnesses, but their testimony was im portant. The first witness examined was Ann Empson, of 46, Davies-street, Berkeley-square, said let lodgings, and in Decembr, 1868, I let the drawing tooll:l floor to Lord Arthur Clinton. He remained there a fortnight, and Boulton came and had mutton chops and bitter beer at Lord Arthur's expense. (The witness here Pointed to Park as the man.) She had had reason to com- Plain. to Lord Arthur about his bringing a man dressed in Wooaan's clothes, as she found ho was using her latch-key, a pr , ceeding she declined to allow. She bad found a frilled Petticoat, paint, and powder in her room; but after she had Prohibited the prisoner coming she never found any more ferule clothes. Lord Arthur went away, and then sho S topped the boxes belonging to the prisoner for some rent t hat was due. Lord Arthur represented Park as hie cousin, and the night I saw them go out Park slept with Lord Arthur. Lord Arthur left his lodgings b ecause he did not pay his rent, and also because he did tot p ay — ten sovereigns he bad borrowed, of which Boulton hv d Part. I hurried the two out of my house, and stopped his lordship's clothes for the rent due ; amongst other things I found some of Boulton's shirts. I found a great many letters 444 papers in the rooms after they had gone away, all of ' W hich I gave to Superintendent Thompson. Boulton took a way the women's dresses. I.. The witness was very uncertain in her identification of the prisoner. I Cross_examined by Mr Besley—l have brought all Lord Arthur's unpaid bills with me; they amount to £2O lOs Bd, including the ten sovereigns lent. I did not see any of the t en sovereigns given to the prisoner. I have only Lord Arthur's word for it. I turned his lordship out of the 11 ,euee because I refused to let him remain any longer. cannot tell for certain which of the pri soners is the one whom I mean, there were so Painted up, and wore golden hair. The photograph now shown me is that of one of the persons who brought t he boxes to Lord Arthur's lodgings. BY Mr Flowers - Only one bed was used on the occasion When Boulton slept with Lord Arthur. I was surprised at t he circumstance, as 1 purchased a second bed for the Prisoner, and 1 believed him to be his lordship's cousin. The witness, on being pressed by Mr Straight, pointed to Park as the person her evidence referred to. Maria Duffin said—l live at 91, Shoe-lane. In July, 1868 , 1 was in the service of Mrs Peck, 36, Southampton- Street, Strand. I remained there until the latter end of Il evernber. I know Lord Arthur Clinton ; he lodged there during the time. 1 know both prisoners well. Boulton lived there the whole time with Lord Arthur, and with re sPect to Park ho used to come occasionally and remain two or three days at a time. 1 heard one of the prisoners call d Ernest Boulton, and the other Mr. Park. Lord Arthur and Boulton occupied one bed. There Was a small dressing-room leading out of Lord Arthur's room ; there was a bed in it, and Park occu- Pied it when he remained all night. There was no way to th e small room except through Lord Arthur's bedroom -Lord Clinton always spoke to Boulton more as a lady than a man. I have heard him call Boulton "my dear" and "my darling." I have accused Boulton of being a man, when he ' a ughed,and said he would show me his wedding ring, a keeper. (L aughter.) He said he was Lord Arthur's wife. I have s een him twice in gentleman's clothes. When he went ont W ith Park ho always dressed as a lady. Boulton's clothes Were kept in the wardrobe in the bedroom. I know a erson named Cumming; he used to come to the house, but in gen tlemen's clothes. I have seen him in woman's clothes. He visited Boulton. I know a person named Thomas; he has been to the house. I have seen him also go out dressed as a 1 "Y with Park and Boulton, all three being in women's clothes. While I was in Southampton-street Lord Arthur a nd Boulton left for a week to go to Scarborough. They both returned together. Boulton on that occasion was dressed in gentleman's clothes, but he took lady's clothes : 141 him. Boulton in the daytime usually wore a dressing "ril; he only appeared in full dress when he was going (3 .,.,Ut• The hairdresser used to come every morning to do 130 ulton's hair—(laughter)—and of a night also, if he was going to the theatre or evening party. I never saw Lord Arthur dressed as .a lady. I told my mother about what I had seen, and then I left the situation. % C ross-examined by Mr Besley—lt was mentioned when Boulton went to Scarborough he was going there to play t k he Wicals. She never saw ladies visit Lord Clinton, but "ad heard th at L a d y A rt h ur Cli n t on did on one occasion .i. never heard that any other lady came. Su perintendent Thompson said —1 know the witness Ann " 331 Pson. I discovered that she could give evidence in this ca se °II Wednesday last, and on Thursday I applied to her f or Some letters, which she gave me. I should say I received !bout 2,000 letters and papers. I have looked them over, but not carefully. The three now put into my hands form a Portion of those letters. Two of them, I find, bear the mono gram "F. W. P." One, addressed to Lord A. Clinton, is a l kTed "Fanny Winfred Park;" the other is signed "Fan," and the third " Fanny," one contained a. photograph of „„ ° . , lll ten. I also produce a letter, signed "Stella Clinton," - eTte r a s a"mber of letters of the same handwriting, some signed " Stella," others " Ernest Boulton." Most of the pear to have been sent through the post, and ad dressed to I. , avies-street. Cro ss - examined by Mr Besley—Since the inquiry the police have had about 50 communications from different Persons in connection with the case. 13 Y Mr Poland—l have had a great deal of information !fv ; en to „ me with respe . ct to this case, and I don't think half ," has been th oroug hly i nqu ir e d into yet. - I °Y Mr. Besley—l estimate the letters at 2,000, at a mere resguess.A lady's travelling trunk was found at Miss Emp -16, and in it the letters were found. They extended over 1 ; period o f fi ve years ; some o f the m were in _ ° „‘lgh draft ; some re l a t e d to d e bt s ; b u t they were l addressedto his Lordship at different places. Mr Derrell, of 15, Charing-cross, said —1 know Lo rd Arthur Clinton. The design for the monogram, Stella with a C arid a wreath, w hi c h h as b een p r oduced during the en -1 ' r Y was made for Lord Arthur, but thinking 1 should not get, • Paul for it, I . did not execute it. He also ordered cards for himself and Lady Arthur Cl i nton. Th e but cards, however were worked off and delivered, the plates returned. The'y were sent to Great ferre College-street, Westminster. The three letters re but t t , t . to bet ween h i s lordsh i p an d t h e pr i soners w e re read, e i.,, s _ u ,ey were of a f r i vo l ou s n a ture ; one, however, was Park „ "your affectionate sister-in-law, Fanny Winifred M r Poland said that would be the case for the prose• cation, earor the defence, Mr Besley called Dr. Clarke and Dr. veY to give evence on the part of the prisoners, the l ay s l' of which was co to contradict in every essential particu that given by Dr. Barwell and Dr. Paul on behalf of the prosecution. Mr Gibbins, examined by Mr Besley, said—l am 21 years ° B . ; a go, and a few years ago 1 was at school at 'lepton. tlkii 've e that I h ave fi n i shed my educat i on w i t h pr i vate t u t ors . a lllc - at 13 , Bruton-st ree t, Berkeley-square, where I have u e sell chambers for six months.

I Netwell in "M eg ' s Diversion." I had ?f.ten seen B oulton act, but 1 was not formally introduced to !limo until the 6th of April. I will swear he was not at the boat-race. I had previously sent him a letter of invitation 10 Stay a , _ Week with me in London. Boulton wro t e me fromu axell's on Scotland accepting the invitation, and he arrived at n the 6th. A t the ball at liaxell's there were on l y oulton, Park, Thomas Cumming, Peel, and myself dressed in fem ale attire. Th ere were eight ladies present at the ball. Who I sent out the invitations for the ball there was ao concealment whatever. I told all my friends I should appear in women's attire, and that several of my friends w ould do the same. 1 introduced all the gentlemen in female attire as Mr Boulton, Mr Park, &c., &e , a nd paid the whole of the expenses of the week B ultcu was at Hay ell's, because he, with others ZS guest. I k ept all my theatrical wardrobe at 13, akefie ld - street, and with the exception of three or four all the dresses taken by fhe police belonged to me. During the whole of my acquaintance with Boulton and Park both have conducted themselves as gentlemen. I never saw either guilty of any impropriety. They would not have been acquaintances of mine if I had. I deny most indignantly that there was anything more than amusement intended by putting on women's clothes. Cross-examined by Mr. Poland—l and Cumming went to the boat race, dressed as women. We met Somerville and a gentleman named Woodhouse. Somerville is a tea or cotton broker, and carries on business at 130, Fenchurch street. Thomas, whose name has been mentioned, is v. gentleman of independent means, and resides a'. No. 74, Cadogan-place. The other gentlemen, Percival Peele, re sides at 74, Upper Berkeley-street. Lord Pelham Clinton was not at the ball. Mr. Flowers —Nor will he be there as a witness. Mr. Poland—l think not. Mr. Besley—l think it the duty of the Treasury either to put his lordship in the dock or the witness box. The prisoners were then remanded until to-day. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

The race for the Derby takes place on Wednesday next, and on Friday the Oaks Stakes will be contested for. The following are the probable starters and jockeys for the former : Macgregor, by Macaroni—Necklace J. Daley. Sunshine, by Thormanby—Sunbeam J. Snowden. Camel, by Thormanby—Eastem Princess Custance. Normanby, by Thormanby—Emily King o' Scots, by King Tom—Kathe rine Logie Parry. Kingcraft, by King Tom—Woodcraft T. French. Palmerston, by Brocket—Rita.. T. Chaloner.

Asterope, by Asteroil Madame Egientine Bright Weather, by Mildew—Easby Deacon. Cradle, by. Saunterer—Margery Daw Cannon. Fragrance, by Voltigeur—Sweetbriar J. Snowden.

Mahonia, by King Tom—Blooming Heather Maidment. Pandore, by Newminster—Caller Ou Custance. Pate, by Macaroni—Songstress Marsh or Wyatt. Performer, by Adventurer—Olga Cameron. Sunshine, by Stockwell—Sunbeam J. Daley. The prophets of the sporting papers do not in a single instance withhold their partizanship from the famous Macgregor, his gallops all the week and his triumph at Bath having fully entitled him to all the favour that can be given him. Bridg water is looked upon generally as a dark horse, owing chiefly perhaps to his near relationship to Savernake, who struggled so hard to take the victory from Lord Lyon in his famous race. The horse is said to have " broken down," or disappointed his friends, at the trials during the week, but as these statements are made in a vague manner, and not confirmed by positive instances of his alleged failures, suspicion about him is increased. Bell's Life . says everything points at present to Mac gregor carrying the entire confidence of Mr. Merry, and his recent public form is so undeniably good that we look in vain for anything likely to effect his overthrow. Our final vote on Wednesday_ will, so far as can at present be foreseen, be given to acgregor, and despite the very general opinion expressed in his disfavour, it will not sur prise us to see the now despised Kingcraft gain a place. Prophesying for the remainder of the Epsom races, this paper says the Stanley Stakes, a new and so far as entry goes highly successful two yeir old race will probably be won by Tullibardine. Grimston and Lady Sophia are as well handicapped as anything in the Bentinck Plate, and the pair are freely treated again in the Epsom Town Plate. In the new mile and a half race, the High Level Handi cap, to which the handsome amount of £2OO is added. Phcebus and Paganini are fairly handicapped, and one of the pair is pretty certain to be thereabouts at the finish. with reference to the Oaks Bell's Life says should Hester and - Sunshine come together the meeting between these crack daughters of Thormanby will alone be sufficient to lend a greater interest to the race than it has created for years past. Baron Rothschild may run a couple, Mahonia and an own sister to Tomato, which has been doing well of late, and the first named is pretty certain to run into a place. All the Epsom division are sanguine as to the success of Pate, a really clever and improved filly, whose class is, nevertheless, we take it, inferior to that of the three cracks. For the suc cess of one of these we look rather confidently, and either Hester or Mabonia will be our final selection for the chief fillies' race of the year. - - The Field says it is possible that Sunshine may not run in the Derby, as it may be considered wise to reserve the mare specially for the fillies' race. Camel, Normanby, and King o' Scots are the Bedford Lodge trio. Camel— consideringhis best performances are winning the Eglinton Stakes and Nursery Plate at Doncaster, after being five times defeated in all kinds of company—occupies a false position in the list of quotations. He is a coarse horse, destitute of that fine quality generally seen in high-class animals, and, in our opinion, Camel will, so far as winning the Derby is concerned, prove an impostor as his stable companion, King.o' Scots, did in the Guineas. Normanby is a good, sound horse, and the best place investment in the race, as he is fitter to run now than when he got second to Macgregor in the Two Thousand Guineas. King o' Scots, though he has never won during his racing career, still finds backers, who must have more money than brains, as this son of King Tom, after failing in minor events is scarcely likely to win the Derby. Kingcraft ran fast in the Two Thousand race to the Bushes, at which point he was done with, and we cannot see how he is to reverse positions with Macgregor and Normanby, though Lord Falmouth's handsome colt is sure to beat all such second-raters as King o' Scots. Macgregor, Sunshine, Normanby, and Kingcraft, are the best public horses engaged in the Derby; that Mr. Merry will win the blue riband of the turf this year, however, S we have no doubt, as either Macgregor or unshine is good enough to beat the horses that will oppose them. Our confidence is in Macgregor, and Belladrum will, we trust, be avenged by the victory of the gallant son of Macaroni and Necklace. The Field gives its plumper to Sunshine for the Oaks. " Harkaway " in Land and Water is of opinion that in the Derby struggle Macgregor and Bridgwater will finish first and second. As for the Oaks, he will not desert Hester, who carried him home with flying colours for the One Thousand. Mahonia, he beheves, will be her most troublesome opponent. The Sporting Life expects Macgregor to win the Derby " easily " and will hope to see Normanby and Kingcraft fight out the battle for second and third places. In the opinion of " Augur," who writes for this journal, there is no prospect of anything compelling Macgregor to succumb, unless it be some animal whose pretensions there have been no public opportunities for guaging. For the Oaks there is no horse to beat Hester and Sunshine, between whom he fancies an interesting race may be expected. Pate may be enabled to secure a place. The prophet of the Sportsman thinks that the first three animals in the Derby will be Macgregor, Prince of Wales, and Camel. Hester, he is confident, will be the winner of the Oaks. Bridgwater was scratched on Saturday. " Touchstone," in the Era, says :—" Mr. Merry was not afraid to pull out Macgregor at Bath, and if he did so to ascertain whether the colt could stay 0.1 not, he may be thoroughly satisfied on the point, as the Guineas hero had scarcely turned a hair when he went by the winning-post at the end of his mile and a half journey. His last performance was almost as impressive as his first, and hehas only to keep well to be the warmest Derby favourite at the post that we have had for years." He anticipates that Normanby will be second, and Camel third. " Censor," in the Sporting Gazette, will not desert Mac gregor for the great race, and thinks that Normanby may be placed. Much difference of opinion exists as to the manner in which the Derby of 1870 will be patronised by the public. The Sporting Life thinks that nothing is wanting but a continuance of the present superb weather to ensure one of the largest attendances ever known. Bell's Life, on the other hand, ventures to predict that from one cause or other next Wednesday will be the dullest Derby day that journalists have had to chronicle for years. YACHTING. THE SAPPHO AND CAMBRIA. We, Bell's Life, understand that Mr. Ashbury has declined to accept Mr. Douglas's challenge to sail two matches sixty miles to windward and back, the Cambria to receive time allowance in the first race according to Thames measurement, and in the second according to New York Yacht Club measurement ; but we hear on good authority , that on his arrival in New York the owner of the Cambria will enter her for all club and sweepstake races, and in all likelihood will entertain Mr. Douglas's proposal for one or more races, twenty miles to windward and back, subject to an equitable time allowance.

A correspondent of the Manchester Guardian vouches for the authenticity of the following aaecdote of Mr. Mark Lemon :—At the after dinner following a meeting of directors of a (at that time) not very flourish- ing concern, Mr. Lemon was in the chair. There were present a gentleman named Peel, three or four others, and myself. One of the party said "Come, Mr. Chairman, let us have some punch 1" Mr. Lemon said, "Ah ! don't know.

A parade of the household troops, together with about 400 militia, was held at the Horse Guards. Amongst those who assembled in honour of the occasion were the Prince of Wales, the King of Holland, and Prince Teck. The Princess of Wale§ viewed the parade from the balcony at Dover House. The national standard was hoisted at all the Govern ment establishments, and salvos of artillery fired. In the evening the clubs, the residences of the nobility and gentry, and the shops of the tradesmen at the West-end were brilliantly illuminated.

There is a rumour that the Portuguese Minister Ribiero has been asked by his Go vernment to retain his post. The Bourse closed at 74f. 17c. SPAIN. MADRID, May 28. News from Lisbon reports a demonstration in favour of Iberian unity, but it is attributed to political man ceuvring. The ltnparcial denies the statement that Prim will make the proposal to grant the Regent Royal prerogatives a party question. Senor Morel has presented to the Cortes a bill abolish ish Slavery in the Spanish colonies in the case of slave children and aged slaves, as well as to the slaves of the Cuban rebels. The slave not comprised sn this bill will be the subject of another measure. The bill was well re ceived. Marshal Prim has summoned all absent members of the Cortes to the capital. Senor Rios denied all knowledge of the statement that the Biseop of Asuea had refused absolution to dying per sons who had purchased church estates. PORTUGAL. LISBON, May 29. The Minister of the Interior opposes the assembly of the Cortes. - . The reports of popular demonstrations against Iberian unity are unfounded. Count Alte has been appointed Portuguese Minister at Madrid. The following appeared in our Special Edition of Sahli& day evening:— THE FENIAN RAID. OFFICIAL TELEGRAMS. The following telegrams have been reeeived at the Colo. nial Office this day : From Sir J. Young. May 27, 5 p.m. Fenians still in large numbers at St. Albans, and other points along the border. They seem much disorganized but threaten another attack on the direction of Pigeon Hill. They crossed the border at Trout River opposite Huntingdon, and after some skirmishing this morning were driven back. No casualties on our side. One prisoner cap tured from the enemy, and ten wounded. United States troops seem to be scarcely in adequate force to check the movements of the Fenians except at Ogdenburgh. From Sir J. Young. 5.20 p.ra. Just reported from Hynchinbrooke that Fenians are en their way back to Malone. U. S. Marshal now seizhag., Arws• From Sir J. Young. 8 P.S. From General Lindsay. Sixty-ninth Regulars and Militia drove Fenie.ns across the border at Holbrooke, near Huntingdon, this morning. No loss to the former ; some wounded of the latter. All quiet on Missinquoi frontier. 'United States troops should have been at Malone before this. United States troops are at Malone, but not in sufficient numbers. (CENTRAL PRESS TELEGRAM.) (By Atlantic Cable.) NEW YORK, May 28. The defeat of the Fenian at Trout River is fully con firmed. The raiders were scared and ran at the first fire. Some of them were taken prisoners ; all the rest hastily crossed. Not a single Canadian is reported even hurt. The United States Government has arrested several Fenian officers. The insurgents have lost confidence in their leaders, and those on the border are entirely, demoralised. The Dominion troops are being hurried to the frontier, It is reported that a Fenian gathering is taking counsel at Detroit. Colonel Donelly is said to be dead It is stated that some of the Fenian prisoners are to be hanged to morrow. General Meade is at St. Albans. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) WASHINGTON, May 27. The House of Representatives referred to the President to-day petitions from the Fenians, Nagle and Warren, British prisoners, who asked for the interference of the Government of the United States in their behalf. The House requested the President to take such action as international law and the facts of the case shall justify. WASHINGTON, May 28. The House of Representatives have given the seat for the fourth district of South Carolina to Mr. Wallace, the Radical contestant. The Radicals have elected Mr. Cahoon Mityor o : Richmond. TORONTO, May 28, The Fenians engaged in the Trout River Raid are now a disorganised rabble in the neighbourhood of Ma lone. General Meade, with 300 United States infantry, has arrived at Malone. The orders from Washington to seize the Fenian arms and stores and to arrest the leaders are being executed. It is reported that Spear further eastward attempted to reorganise the Fenians and to renew the raid at Pigeon Hill. No casualties have occurred among the Canadians. The Trout River Fenians lost one killed and several wounded. A few were taken prisoners. FRANCE. PARIS, May 28, The deputies who met at M. Picard's house on Wednes day have published a note in the Siecle affirming the unanimous resolution to take part in the deliberations existing between them on questions of principle. The deputies take their stand upon the national sovereignty, and a desire for the triumph of Democratic principles by universal suffrage. A railway accident is reported to have taken place yes terday near the tunnel of St. Benoit. The locomotive and six carriages ran off the rails, were precipitated down a high embankment, and broken to pieces. Two persons were killed, and several others very seriously hurt. SPAIN. MADRID, May 27, Evening. It is rumoured that Marshal Prim will tender his re signation should the Cortes refuse to confer Royal attri butes upon the Regent. It is believed that the position the Cortes' have taken in this matter may undergo some change yet, and according to rumour they will attempt to elect a sovereign merely to prove that no candidate whatever has any chance of obtaining a majority. ITALY. FLORENCE, May 27, Evening. In to-day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies the revenue estimates were adopted by 216 against 53 votes without discussion. Signor Sella, in presenting the estimates for 1871, said, assuming that the estimates of the Governmeneas modified by the Financial Committee would be adopted, the bud get for 1871 shows a surplus of 2,700,000 lire. Comparing the estimates with those of the current year, which were laid before the House in March last, a reduction of 13,000,000 lire would be shown in the expenditure of the Ministry of War, and a total reduction of 22 millions of lire under the head of " Administrative expenses." On the other hand, there was an increase of fifteen millions of lire in the irreducible expenditure and of 36 millions in the Department of Public Works. The Minister observed that these expenses would be re duced by 20 millions, should the Government succeed in transferring to a private company the construction of the Calabrian railway system. The ordinary revenue shows an augmentation of 80 millions of lire, chiefly owing to an increase of taxes, and the extraordinary receipts an in crease of 122 ;pillions, of which 106 millions are obtained by the issue of Rentes to provide for the cost of construct ng the Calabrian Railway, in _case no concession should be granted. Replying to the arguments of the Opposition, Signor Sella defended the Government Financial Bills respecting the army, and urged the necessity of restoring the finance to a sound condition. In conclusion he said, "If our opponents think they are able to re-establish the finances without resorting to the retrenchments proposed by us, then we would willingly yield them our places. But we could not remain in office should these measuers not be adopted." After a few remarks from various deputies the general debate was closed, a motion to that effect being voted by calling over the names of the members, 165 voted for and 107 against it. (CENTRAL PRESS TELEGRAMS.) THE PROPOSED DISENFRANCHISEMENT OF SLIGO. The inhabitanis of Sligo are preparing themselves to offer every opposition to the bill for the disenfranchise ment of that borough. Colonel French in the House of Commons, aided by Mr. Vance, will lead the opposition. The petition against the proposal will be l presented, signed by large numbers, on Tuesday night. THE TIPPERARY ELECTION PETITION. Some witnesses examined at Nenagh on Saturday, deposed that aft e r voting they got 10s, each from Mr. Heron's canvassers, their expenses going to booths having ' been previously paid. A man named Garrett Stack stated that he was offered ten pounds to vote for Mr. Heron, and his son the same amount to personate the father. One voter was proved to have been paid twenty-five shillings for bringing another two miles to a Railway-station. The Rev. Father Hayes was also stated to have offered money. Several Catholic priests inculpated in Mr. Pur cell's opening statement, but not called as witnesses by the petitioners, came forward on their own account to protest against the charges made, and challenged investi gation. The judge expressed a strong opinion several times during the progress of the case upon the reckless manner in which the petitioners had made charges, which afterwards were not attempted to be substantiated. Mr. Sergeant Armstrong reminded the Court that after the withdrawal of charges against a number of clergymen on Friday evening four cases remained which the petitioners undertook to prove. Mr. Purcell, in re plying to the Court, said witnesses in these cases were not in court, and Mr. Baron Hughes re peated his censure of the petitioners' conduct. Mr. Purcell then withdrew the charges, as he had no evidence to support them, and Mr. Baron Hughes said it was most unfortunate they should have been made. The Rev. Mr. Hayes being examined on the question of agency, the Court reminded Mr. Purcell that the witness was charged with attempting to bribe a voter named Payne, and inti mated that he ought to be examined on the point. Mr. Purcell declined to examine him, and the Court allowed Mr. Hayes to make a statement denying the charge, Laffern contradicted the evidence of Gleeson as to his having offered Gleeson money for his vote. Several witnesses were called to prove treatment and ille gal payment to voters, and petitioners' case was closed. The respondent's witnesses were then examined to rebut the charges of treating and illegal payments. They stated that the only money disbursed was for the conveyance of voters to the poll, and for the payment of mobs organised to protect Mr. Heron's supporters. Fathers Hayes and Ryan denied having threatened from the altar to excom municate Mr. Kickham's supporters. They acknowledged having warned their congregations against being deluded by Fenian emissaries, having read the Pope's bull against ► Fenian, and stated that those who supported Kickham would seem to be supporting Fenianism. Mr. Sergeant Armstrong summed up for the respondent. The Court having heard a reply, the proceedings were adjourned. Judgment will probably be given on Monday. SPIRIT OF THE PRESS. AFFAIRS IN PORTUGAL. The Times remarks that Marshal Saldanha has been contemplating a breach of the peace ever since he aban doned his diplomatic post in Paris, without leave or notice, sis months ago. This is what they call politics in the Iberian Peninsula. Bullying a King and slaughtering the King's Guards will be accounted heroism in Salda,nha, if he can but insure success to the end. Already, indeed, the Court, the Parliament, and the whole country seem to acquiesce in his easy victory. As it is, the King and his late Ministry have only themselves to thank—their own leniency and improvidence—if Portugal once more finds itself under the Government of the sword. Such seems for ever to be the fate of those unhappy countries. It matters little whether it be Bourbon, or Braganza, or any other dynasty that is called to the throne. The sabre is the only sceptre south of the Pyrenees—a sceptre all-power ful even when the arm that wields it trembles with age, and its achievements date so far back in the past as to be almost a myth to the living gene.ation. THE WITHDRAWAL OF STRANGERS. The Standard says that the particular privilege of the House of Commons which entitles any individual member to claim the withdrawal of strangers is very properly to become a question for discussion. Mr. Glad stone has announced that the Government have entered upon the study of the question, and he has promised to give us the result of their deliberations, either on Monday at Tuesday next, when Mr. Hen ley's motion is to be brought forward. If it is right that the power of excluding strangers should still remain with the House, there can be no reason why this should not be done by a vote of the majority rather than by the option of a single member. All that is necessary for the due protection of freedom of debate would be provided by this means, which would be in accord ance with the general system by which the House secures its own order and government. In any case it is unnecessary tnat the reporters should be included in the category of strangers, for it is absurd to pretend that the mere publication of the speeches can, in any circumstance, be an interference with the liberty of debate. The publi cation of the reports is, in fact, an extension of and a security for the liberty of discussion. THE FENIANB IN CANADA. The Telegraph declares that the Fenians have bungled their wicked bushiess. Of necessity they could not gather on the frontier in large masses, prepared for a powerful dash on some important point of the hostile territory ; they could only muster men and material by instalments ; and, since the authorities on both sides were prepared for any enterprise, the invaders lost all the advantage of the first rush. Hang ing about in an incoherent fashion, at a number of points along the border, they have presented an attenuated, and by no means formidable, line of attack ; and, wherever our troops or the colonial militia have encountered them, a heartless fight and a shamefulflight have been the result. We may now be assured that the insane proceedings of the Fenians will be limited to the merest verge of our dominion, and that the incendiary fire of revolt will there be speedily " stamped out " by the resolute action of the colonial authorities and the energetic good faith of the American Government in vindicating its neutrality. THE KIRWEE PRIZE MONEY. It WaS of course natural, says the Post, that the force which captured Kirwee should desire to obtain the extra quarter of a million sterling represented by debts due to the chiefs they had captured. But the Treasury — the proper and only advisers of the Crown on such subjects—seeing that the troops were in no way entitled to the money, and that they had been without it exceptionally fortunate, were completely justi fied in refusing peremptorily to entertain the claim. It is to be hoped that the decisive majority of 108 against 67 will have laid this t r oublesome question of the Kirwee prize-money at rest for ever. THE HALFPBNNY .POSTAGE. The Daily News thinks that the extension of the half penny postage will be an important improvement. The postage cards will involve nothing but writing the messag on one side and the address on the other, and if the Post office is quick and punctual in their collection and delivery, they are sure to come into very extensive use. The only inconvenience about them will be, that the message must necessarily be an open one ; but of the scores of messages a head of a family has to send very few need an envelope, and when they do so a sheet of paper and a penny stamp will be used as at present. We are glad to record this promise of further accommodation as a proof of the desire of the de partment to consult and serve the convenience of the public. ANOTHER FIRE IN CANADA. Intelligence from New York on the 28th states that a fire is raging in the Saguenay Forests, Canada, by which many persons have already lost their lives. Three hundred families are left destitute by it. One of Disraeli.'s admirers, in speaking about him to John Bright, said, " You ought to give him credit for what he has accomplished, as he is a self-made man." " I know he is," retorted Mr. Bright, " and he adores his maker."—Court Jou/matt MONETARY REP ORA S-SATURDAY With the exception of a strong market for English railways, the Stock Exchange to-day has been very quiet. For foreign secnrities the demand • has" been • only to a moderate extent, and English Government Securities have been in limited request. Consols have been dull; and easier at 941, 941, for delivery, and the .Ist of June, and 94i to 94i for July. Reduced and New Three per cents., 92k, 92g. Bank stock has marked 234, 236. Exchequer Bills par to ss. prem. India Five per cents. have been done at 114 to 1141, and India Bonds at 20s. to 255. prem. For English railway stocks, there has been a healthy inquiry. All discriptions have been in request, and a general advance has been sustained. Caledonian has risen ; Great-Northern A, ; Lancashire and York shire. 1; London and North-Western, i; Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, ; Midland, ; North- Eastern, ; and South-Eastern, For Indian Railway Stocks there has been a moderate inquiry, at steady currencies. Canadian shares have been quiet, and the demand for foreign has been inactive. The market for foreign bonds has been devoid of any important feature. Italian (1861) have been firm, and per cent. better, but Egyptian • and Spanish have fallen and Peruvian (1865) per cent. In American securities the transactions have been on a limited scale. The Five-Twenty and Ten-Forty Bonds have maintained previous quotations, and. Atlantic and Great Western Consolidated Mortgage Bonds have been ts better. For Bank shares the market has been firm. Anglo- Egyptian and Imperial Ottoman have risen and London of Mexico and South America, A. Telegraph shares have been. depressed, and a fall of has taken place in Anglo-Mediterranean, British Indian, Submarine, and French cables. Miscellaneous securities have been dealt in quietly. Berlin Waterworks have fallen I; Scottish Australian in vestment 2, and Telegraph Construction it, but Hooper's have been better. The bonds of the Roumanian State Railway Loan are quoted at to 11 prem. The tone of the money market has continued quiet. There has been a fair supply of capital, and the demand for accommodation has not been active. Three months' paper has been taken at 21 to 3 per cent. The Hammonia, from New York has brought £20,940 in specie. Paris advices state that the Italian Minister of Finance has obtained from Messrs. Stirn and the Banque de Paris a promise of an advance, and that an agent has been sent to Florence to settle the details of the negotiation. The amount of the loan is between £2,400,000 and £3,200,000. Notwithstanding the protest of the Porte, the new Egyptian Loan has received an official quotation on the Paris Bourse. Very few bona fide transactions, however, have taken place in it, and it is still at a discount. The Board of Trade tables, just issued for the month of April, bear favourable testimony to the extension of trade, the exports shewing an increase of over 21,700,000 compared with the corresponding period last year the enhancement being most marked in the shipments of cotton manufac tures and railway iron. The exports during the month have begn £17,335,470, against £15,624,475 in 1869, and £14,575,152 in 1868. During the four months the total shipments have been £63,014,244, against £58,428,080 last year, and £55,998,068 in 1868. The imports in March were valued at £19,753,658, against £19,442,415 in 1869, and £21,463,367 in the previous year, In the three months they shewed a total of ' £48,943,989, against £49,090,619 in 1869, and £46,446,999 in the previous year.

The demand for autumn and winter goods is slightly more active than last week, and for China and the East some moderate orders are in the course of execution. There has been a somewhat limited attendance of buyers in the home trade this week ; they have bought very cautiously, and more in the way of sample parcels than any class of goods in great bulk. To.day's markets in .the cloth halls have been moderate, both as to the attendandance of buyers and the amount of busi ness done, The reports from the country manufacturers were rather more satisfactory, shewing a little better demand for the fall trade. The felted cloth trade is shewing signs of improve_ ment, the largest firm in the town being better employed than for some time past. There is no change in the flax or iron trades..
