It seems to be going on wry sat . sfaetorily. The Government securities are Without alteration in price, but in the Foreign market there has been a slight improvement in the prices of the principal continental securities, Spanish and Egyptian being mostly influenced.

There were no gold operations at the Bank yes terday. The Aracania, from the Pacific, has brought £47,280, and the Delhi, from Alexandria, £346,000. The steamer I'oonah takes out £lO,OOO in specie f or Bombay, of which £5OO is gold and the rest silver. Messrs. N. M. Rothschild and Sons announce that the Scrip is ready for delivery in exchange for the letters of allotment of the 5 per cent. Loan of the Imperial Government of Russia. It is announced that the half-yearly coupons due I st March next, and bonds drawn for redemption of the Danubian Principalities Loan of 1861, will be paid at the London agency of the Imperial Ottoman Bank. The Pheeaix Gas-Light and Coke Company have announced a reduction of 3d. per 1,000 feet on the gas supplied throughout the whole of their dis trict, making the third reduction since the passing of the Act in 1860. Advices from the Central American Republic of Costa Rica, via New York, allege that a Lon don firm have offered the Government a loan of £3 ,000,000, but that it was feared the Government would not accept it, "as they are doubtful about being able to meet the payments for the interest and stnortisation fund." The doubts of the Govern 'bent of Costa Rica would be fully shared by Eng lish investors. The Frankfort advices mention that American bonds have experienced a sudden rise of 2 per cent., in consequence of large purchases made there and at Berlin by parties connected with New York. lierne speculative stocks continue inanimate, not- Withstanding the political quietude and a plethora of money ; the weekly returns of the Austrian railways are unsatisfactory, compared with those of last year, when they were inflated by the huge ex- Port of corn. Austrian silver rentes are in fair demand at 58. The Italian 6 per Cent. Tobacco Loan has reached the high price of 90. The loan of the city of Madrid, 3 per cent., with premiums, has C onsiderably advanced, while Spanish Stock has become flat. Bills on London and Paris are in g o od request for payment of Russian and Ameri can mortgage Bonds. .Money is more abundant t han ever, a nd the reduction in the rate of the Frankfort Bank is therefore not likely to bring any Material increase of business, a similar plethora b eing reported from Berlin and Vienna. From Vienna the early issue of a Hungarian lottery l oan of 30,000,000f1., in tickets of 1001 each, is reported. The first annual general meeting of the Silk S upply Association was largely attended, represen tatives of the Foreign Office and Board of Trade being present, together with members from Mac clesfield, Manchester, New York, and other places. The proceedings of the association for the past year Were unanimously approved, and the committees were requested to continue their efforts to obtain increased silk supplies. The Public Securities Advance Company (Limited) has just been established, with a capi tal of £lO,OOO fully subscribed. It is mentioned that the object is to enable investors to extend their operations. A prospectus has been issued of the Cefn Consols Lead Mining Company (Limited), with a capital of £30,000, in shares of £5, to work a lead mine in the county of Denbigh, about three miles from St. Asaph. At the meeting of the Equity and Law Life As surance Society the new premiums for the past year were stated at £13,923, and the total assets at £736,615. At the meeting of the National, Life Assurance yesterday the premiums on new policies issued in 1869 were stated at £6,491. The directors of the Aluni and Ammonia Com pany (Limited) have paid an interim dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum. The annual report of the Sovereign Permanent Benefit Building Society states that the share in come of the past year was £5,811 9s. 6d., as corn- Pared with £3,553 14s. 4d. in 1868, and that the net profits yield the usual dividend of 6 per cent. The ni trkets for colonial produce remain steady, although without animation, being barely supplied Pending fresh arrivals.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SAVAGE ATTACK BY A BEGGAR.—John Rogers, a labourer, living at Deptford, was charged before Mr Knox with begging, and also with assaulting Worraker, Mendicity Society's officer, and police constable Read, 91 C. Worraker saw the prisoner going down different areas in Bolton-row, and afterwards accosting ladies and begging of them, and on telling him that he should take him into custody, he said he would not be taken by him, and then set to kicking and striking him—one of the blows having the effect of loosening one of Worraker's teeth. Read, 91 C, said the prisoner was very violent, and struck him, and they had to carry him to the station. Henry Barnes, the gaoler of the court, said that while in the prisoners' waiting room the prisoner, wbo was very violent, said that if he had a knife he would rip Worraker open, and on telling him that he should report what he had said to the magistrate, he said that •if he had a chance he would rip him up too. The prisoner, a tall, powerful-looking man, said, in a bullying tone, that it was all lies, and that he had begged of no one. Mr. Knox committed the prisoner for three months, with hard labour. The prisoner while being removed from the dock showed signs of resistance, but he was got to the cells without doing harm to any one. AN INCORRIGIBLE BEGGAR. John Osborne, alias Kelly, a sturdy beggar, was charged before Mr. Knox by Horsford, relief officer of the Mendi city Society, with begging. Horsford saw the prisoner accosting gentlemen and soliciting charity in a very insulting manner, and he then took him into custody. Hewitt, another officer of the society, said he had known the prisoner ten years as a notorious im postor, and he had been in custody 13 times, once receiving twelve month's' imprisonment as an incor rigible rogue. Mr. Knox said he'should send the prisoner to the sessions again as an incorrigible. WESTMINSTER. A SUSPICIOUS CHARACTER:IIOMM Chynes, before convicted, was charged with loitering in Onslow-square, supposed for the purpose of com mitting a felony. In consequence of the extensive robbery at Lord Napier's, as well as many other depredations in the locality of Onslow-square, the detective police have been at work, and last night the prisoner, who belongs to an expert school of thieves, was appre hended for loitering in the neighbourhood by Ser geant Campbell, of the detective force, and Fred. Koch, a constable of the B division. Inspector Pahner, of the detective force, identi fied the prisoner as a skeleton-key and attic win dow thief for 15 years.. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded him for a week.

GLADSTONE'S BIM, The Saturday Review declares that Irish Land Bill will have consequences that will operate widely beyond the shores of Ireland. It is based on novel principles that must pro duce their effect on the minds and fortunes of Englishmen. It is a marked symptom of a great change that i 3 going on, and which it wiil necessarily augment, in the opinions .of many imptirtant of Englishmen. The.ie remoter ents , viences of the Irish Land Bill are well worth con isdering. Not that a perception of them need stand in the way of the measure, or that we are called on to pro ii.)unce them bad or good: At present it ,is sufficient to r , cognise what they are, and to see in what direction this 1)111 is carrying English society. It is obvious that the • pssition of English landlords will rapidly become like that of Irish landlords. The landlord will be a capitalist, with an investment yielding him a small but Acreasing return in the shape of rent. The tenant viii be the practical manager of the estate, holding for a long term enough to make his management a rewx;nably good speculation. The labo urer w ill b e s et t l e d on the estate, with a plot of his own, to which he can if he pleases :;'ive an increasing value that he can call his eva. Landlords may, as Mr. Gladstone points out, have a most useful and happy existence under such a state of timings, but their position will be different from that Atieli it is now. There is a keen-pleasure in domineering, and ;English law and custom have in old days enabled the landlord to enjoy this pleasure to a large degree. Already, under a number of combining influences, the enjoyment of this pleasure has become rarer, and the Irish Land will only mark in a significant manner that the era of irresponsible landlordism, with its 'evil and its good—and the English landlords. have largely exercised their power for good--is drawing 'to a close. The new order of things will, we trust, be better than the old ; but it is impossible to be blind to the fact that the passing of the Irish Land Bill will proclaim that a new order has begun. .

The Spectator remarks that Lord Derby has had the firmness— a firmness which has already elicited many sarcastic comments,—to insist on being himself, in pre ference to _ " Heading his party with a sense 0' bein' tip-joint in the tail on't," --which •would, we take it, have been exactly Lord Derby's position had he acceded to the request of the party meeting of last week,— in other words, waived his own really intermediate position between the two parties in order to take the post of nominal leader to a body of • Peers. whom he could only have led by con senting to follow. . Wipt would it have meant had Lord Derby accepted the request made to him, except that as responsible leader of the Tory Lords, he consented to pursue for years to come the very same policy of tacit acquiescence in the necessities Of party organisation which has brought upon hiM, quite naturally, during the last few years; so many severe nritiaisms— years during which he sat tamely under Mr. Disraeli, moving one day a party amendment in a speech in which he involuntarily betrayed how much less he agreed with the party he was trying to serve than he did with the party he was trying to check—making grand but vain promises another day, that the Conservatives would never consent to household suffrage pure and simple, or to any merely democratic Reform Bill—and soin fact continually making himself the tool of a policy with which he could not agree, and scarcely disguised the fact that h e dis agreed ? He seems to us to have shewn his usual clear -ood sense, and not to have shown even a modicum of hesitation—it would never even have occurred to us to think Lord Stanley's frigid and neutral good sense indica tive of a hesitating character, in the decision he has come to, and the frankness with which ho has avowed his reason for it. THE REVISION OF THE BIBLE. The John Bull says that the recent edition of the New Testament, published by Baron Tauchnitz, and edited by Dr. Tischendorf, has opened the eyes of English laymen to a fact very well known to, though not always con fessed by, the clergy—the fact that our received version contains many MistranslationS, many additions, and some . omissions. It would be disingenuous to say that either class of faults is unimportant. In the first place, nothing can be unimportant which affects such a book as the Bible, and in the next place, the errors themselves impor tant. Probably, as the Bishops ofnTinchester and Glou cester and Bristol observed, the popular impression as to the nature of these errors is exaggerated. At the same time it cannot be denied that the Sinaitic manuscript has considerably increased the necessity for a revised version. This very fact will, with some persons, weigh the other way. In proportion as they find that some of their cherished texts—texts which they haye freely used to support a doctrine or to con found a heretic--are not to be found in the best manuscripts, will they oppose the revision that would deprive them of their props and weapons. Not so will a sincere lover of truth, a reverent lover of God's Word, act. We rejoice to see that men so free from love of inno vation as Bishops Wilberforce and Ellicott have declared for a revised version with a boldness that Archbishop Thomson may envy, if he cannot imitate. We rejoice, too, at the announcement which this discussion in Convocation has elicited--that the long-promised., too-long-delayed " Speaker's Commentary" will shortly be published. We hope, with some degree of confidence, that this volume will both hasten and facilitate the high and noble task to winch the present generation has just been called by twe of the most trusted Fathers of the English Church. MR. CAVE'S BILL ON LIFE ASSURANCE. The Economist, in discussing Mr. Cave's Bill on Life Assurance, thinks all will agree that the State ought not, to turn insurer unless it is absolutely necessary, and un less there is no other remedy. But we contend there is another, and that what we have often proposed would be effectual. What is wanted is not to hamper all compa nies, but to weed out all suspicious companies. The Albert was for a long time in disrepute, and ought long before the failure to have been required to suspend, 'What we propose is an optional audit by suspicious policy-holders ; let any thirty. of them have power to ask the b oar d of Trade to examine the office ' -make the Costs depend on the event ; if the business of the company is certified to be well conducted, let the petitioners bear the costs ; and if the affairs are ill managed, let the company bear them. Bad insurance offices would fear this more that the publication of returns, which may be wrong or right. Perhaps they would fear it more than the competition of Government, for the people who wish to insure cheap (and these are the best customers of bad offices) would not pay dear rates to Government. And without imposing any thing on trade, without impairing the liberty of contract, it would do what it wished—it would weed the trade ;it would kill out the bad offices, and leave standing the good ones.

A disorderly meeting of the mortgagees and debenture holders of this company was held - at the Victoria station on Friday. Mr. JOHN DIXON, who presided, entered into a lengthy justification of the part he had taken in issuing the special report of the three mortgage directors, to which the chairman of the meeting on the previous day had re ferred ; and he repeated the statement that the state of the company's management required looking into and a new system adopted. The report was intended to be issued at the same time as the board report had appeared before, through their not knowing the precise time ; and it was not issued to prejudice the shareholders by antici pation. _ . _ Mr. Moat ITT of the CrMit Foncier) attempted to answer some reflections made by the chairman, but it was not till after considerable uproar had ensued that he was allowed to speak. Mr. PPICE, Q.C., then moved the adjournment of the meeting until after they had received the decision of the arbitrators who had the company's affairs in hand. An amendment was proposed adopting the report, and expressing strong disapprobation of the course pursued by the mortgage directors in circulating the special report. andwant of confidence in them. The amendment on being put was declared to'be lost anal the mover demanded a poll, which gave rise to the utmost confusion of considerable duration. At's'length, however, the poll was agreed to, and it occupied over an hour. The result was found to be a majority of 8,309 for the amendment, which was accordingly carried. The remainder of the business, which was chiefly of a formal nature, was then disposed of. THE GOVERNMENT EDUCATION BILL. FRIDAY. The Executive Committee of the Welsh Educational Alliance which was appointed to report on the Government Education Bill, have met and passed resolutions, the main points of which are as follows. The committee protests against the measure being carried into law chiefly on the follow ing grounds :—That it does not extend the blessing of free education to all children alike, and that it will em ploy the funds of the State for the direct teaching of reli gion in schools. They consider the Conscience Clause wholly indefensible in principle and impossible in practice. That it will establish a system of concurrent endowment as objectionable in its nature, as that condemned last session by the whole nation with regard to the churches in Ireland. Objection is made to the delegation of the con trol and management to three persons without restriction; and the impossibility to maintain for anylength of time the present undenominational sytem in Ireland, thus necessi tating the handing over of the education of the Irish people to the Roman Catholic priesthood. Exception is taken to the election of school boards by Town Councils and vestries, instead of by the direct vote of the ratepayers, and to the fact that there is no provision for anything higher than elementary education, thus virtually excluding the children of the middle classes from the benefits of a national measure. The committee consider that the Government measure will render every school district a scene of religious strife. That under it, by the employment of schools for the purpose of religious worship, funds which have been expressly raised for the purposes of elementary education may be diverted in their application so as to afford the means of encou raging a most unjustifiable system of church extension, Finally, they co n t en d th a t th e Bill i s incomplete, inas much as all the m i nu t es o f the Committee of Council on Education to which it refers should be incorporated with it. An extensive system of smuggling through the mails has been discovered in Chicago, Books, laces, furs, Ste., of European manufacture, were sant through in news paper wrappers, with the necessary stamps according to weight.

The "S iilor" is in one of the eldest of Empires, ccntaiuing 200,000,000 of people, eager to do himloaour, while the " Sol dier" is in a comparatively new and sparsely people 1 country. But more still is due to the fact that in India, Princes are at a premium, in America at a discount. The commander of the Galatea has so far enjoyed a charming cruise, tatting a freer start from the Antipodes where he 113,41 been so nearly as sassinated. He rubbed noses with the Maories ; his proceedings i n Honolulu were something also well re moved from the common. What the dance was spoken of by the American papers, we do not know, and do not much care to inquire, but the circumstance was recorded that the husbands were left out as if it were too improper for them, and only their wives in vited. A new scene opened to him in Japan--that strangest of all lands. At Peking he received the cold shoulder" by way of another novelty, and, after passing through Hongkong, he met with one of the grandest receptions in India ever given to one not a crowned head. The natives have gone out of their way to do him honour; under the impression that he is a man in authority. Rajahs and Nawabs swarm along his path ; the streets and roads are lined with Bindoos and Mussulmen, who bow down to the .ground as he passes. Outside the shops the owners display their most valued wares. From a ride after a wild boar through the grass jungles near Moorshedebad, the city captured by CLIVE after the battle of Plassy, to a triumphal entry into Be nares, the sacred city of the Hiudoos, his progress has been a fete. While riding through the long . grass after wild boars the Prince got two falls. The ground is Uneven, and the cover often high enough to envelope both horse and man. It is not easy to get the pigs out, 'but a long line is formed of . beaters, and all sorts of game are gradually driven to the edge, when away break the, old boars, deer, and other animals, as hard as they can for the next cover. The Maharajah of GWALIOR (Scrstnsau) had been at Bewares before the art ival of his Royal High ness, and bad presented to the Brahmins his gift as a pilgrim, consisting of silver equalling his own weight. As SCINDIAII turns 14 stone, unless he did " a deal" of fasting before he went into the scale, the Brahmins must have made a nice haul. Knowing what the do nation was to be, doubtless these cunning priests took care that the MAHARAJAH should not be stinted in ghee. What the Duke of EDINBURGH gave has not transpired, as the bill has yet to be presented to Parliament, but if he acted on the same scale as the Maharatta chief the whole sum hitherto voted must have gone into the coffers of the Brahmins. Among the amusements mentioned is the Nautch dance, which has a singular fascination for the na tives, though the most uninteresting of all per formances to the European or American. '1 he Duke of EDINBURGH halted at Agra, where he had an opportunity of seeing the grandest tomb on earth —the Taj —a marble structure from foundation to pinnacle, rising from the banks of the Juana, and surrounded by a garden in native taste. The Le..uty of its prorortions, the fine nature of its material, the rich, elegant, and artistic cars ing and inlay ing wilier mark all the' interior, have long been the wonder and admiration of travellers as well as the pride of its Mussulmen builders. The Prince passed through Delhi (before the mutiny a city of singular beauty), and went on to Lahore, the ca pital of the Punjaub. Ile will visit Madras and then Ceylon, where his pig-stieking will give place to elephant hunting. However we in our superior wisdom may smile contemptuously at the enthu siasm displayed in India, people have to be governed in their own way, not in ours, and there is a genuine State-craft in sending the Prince as a puppet for the natives to play with. The Em press of INDIA-to them represents a potent influence, a god-like power, all the greater because they know little of it, who speaks a word, and cities are built . or cities are depopulated . ; and in her son they see her representative,,who comes to acquaint himself will. their wants and, wishes, and to work great benefits to them wh- n he re-enters the presence of their EMPRESS. • The Governor-General has made the most of the occasion, spending his own and the State's money with a lavish hand, not only to do honour to the Prince, but to the Rajahs and Na wabs who travelled to Calcutta to receive him. His predecessor, able as Lord LAWRENCE is, would have been wholly unqualified for such work, viewing it with contempt ; yet the work is, in truth, more im portant than many a well-cansidered and wise mea sure. The Rajahs and Nawabs, the nobles and re tainers go home like children who have been to a pan tomime or some interesting show where they have been well-entertained. They have astounding stories to tell, which lose nothing in the telling, and from mouth to mouth these are re- echoed allover the land. Hundreds of thousands who have never seen an Eng lish face are impressed with the power and grandeur of the people who can build such cities, as Cal cutta, who can make such extraordinary works as the railroads there terminating, and who can subdue the seas by such mighty structures as the Galatea. These are seen, felt, and fully appreciated when the Viceroy supplements them by a gracious man ner and a regal hospitality ; and the greatness of the raj spreads and bears fruit, whereas the wise measure would be misunderstood or incomprehen sible, and might produce a return only to benefit the next generation, who knew not whence the good was derived. THE ARREST OP DON CARLOS. The arrest of Don Carlos, which was in reality only nominal, has occasioned some excitement. A serious Carlist rising has been threatened in Spain for some little time past and the French G overnmen t , on learning that D on Carlos was at Lyons, naturally con cluded that h e was en route for Spain to head the move ment. Accordingly a French officer waited upon the Prince at Lyons, and reminded him that he was only authorised to reside in the northern districts of France, and that he must take his choice between abiding by that condition or leaving France altogether. Don Carlos, on hearing the alternative, decided to return to Geneva, whence ho had come. It is therefore evident that the so-called ar rest was not of very long duration. It hag been suggestedin some quarters that Don 'Carlos had a rendezvous at Lyons with General Cabrera, but the Gazette de France maintain§ that the latter isill in London. It is also denied that Carlos went to Lyons to meet the Duke of Moclenaoyilo was to give him a large sum of money. This explan#lon of his journey was current in Spain itself. Thz; Gazette de France, which does not say what were Pin Carlos's real intentions, deelahs it' to be untrue t wat he was going to Spain, so that the question remalh to be solved by the curious. We may add that the olaimant to the Spanish crown thought it desirablq to have his p ass p or t made out in , the name of the Marquess d'Alcantara. His partisans do not appear to have relaxed their efforts in his cause. The Liberte publishes news from the north west and south-west frontiers of Spain, announcing a double mov e m en t o f the Carlists on the French and Portuguese confines. This intelligence is confirmed by the Epoca of Madrid, which states that the Spanish Government has adopted precautionary measures along the Portuguese frontier, on account of the presence of the Miguelists in Mogador. tiLENFIELD BTARCH. - 111 Vice-chancellor Malins Court a motion has been hoard on behalf of William Wotherspoon, of Cheapside, Paisley, and Glasgow, and on behalf of Alexander Abercombie and Co., starch manu facturers, trading under the style of Wotherspoon and Co., for an injunction to restrain Currie and Co., of Paisley, from using the word " Glen field " on their packets of starch. Mr. Wotherspoon claims to be the originator of " Glenfield starch," which he has manufactured for twenty-three years, taking the name from some fields near Paisley, where h; , ; works were formerly situated, The defendant, who has his manu factory there, claims the right to use the name. The court granted the injunction. ALLEGED FRAUD BY A MERCHANT.—Mr. Robert James Brown, a merchant of Cornhill, has been charged at the Mansion House with obtaining two bills of exchange, amounting to £1,500, from a shipbuilding firm at Glasgow by false pretences. The prisoner, it was stated, represented himself to be the agent of a firm who wanted several screw steamers, for one of which he gave immediate order. Captain Plower, a man of large fortune, would he said,-give his acceptances for half the price of the steamer, pending its construction, and he stipulated that he himself should receive acceptances for his commission, which was a o , ?reed to, The steame r when finished was left o n the maker's hands, Captain Flower, who turned out to be Penniitiu, never paid his acceptances, and the firm who ordered the vessel resolved itself into a teacher of languages. After some evidence in support of the pr,se cution had been given, the prisoner was remanded, bail being refused, At Newcastle•on-Tyne last Tuesday Win. Oxley. of t`_•o bark Fl-twortb, was presented with a valuable gold watch from the President of the United States as a reward for rescuing the crew of the whaling schooner Susan, N, Smith, of Boston, capsized iu a hurricanoens re lated iu the report of Consul-General Morse. Mr. Jonas, the Americm Consul, observed on the occasion that the Union Jack floated over no nobler heal than Captain Oxley's, and may ho never meet an enemy in the Stars and Stripes.
