Barclay, Curie, and Co. have launched an iron screw steamer of 2,500 tons register, named the Austrian, and in tended fur the Montreal Ocean Steamship Company's lin e of Transatlantic steamers. The Austrian is an exactly similar vessel to the Nestorian, constructed by the same firm for the same company at the close of last year. The Austrian will be propelled by a pair of direct-acting en.. gines of 350 horse power, which will be supplied by Messrs. Barclay, Curie, and Ucmpauy. It is expected that the Anerian will be placed on the mail service between Liverpool and Montreal at an early date. The Wemyss Bay Steamboat Company is about to build one if not two new steamers, to be ready for service at undeummer, 'and intended to accommodate an increasing passenger trade. Messrs. R. Napier and Son have launched from their Govan yard a screw of 15,000 tons, built for Messrs. Jar dine and Co., of London, and intended to be devoted to the Indian trade. The experiment of universal suffrage is at length to be tried in one American state. Both branches of the legislature of Kansas hare adopted amend►nents to the state constitution, granting the right to vote to all persons, male or female, white or black. This is the first success the agitators for female suffrage have yet achieved In Washington a negro has been made a clerk in the Treasury department. THE POOR-LAW MEDICAL O FFICERS.--Yesterday a large number of the metropolitan Poor-law medical officers met at the Freemasons' Tavern to consider the provisions of the Metropolitan Poor Bill. Dr. Rogers, of the Strand Union, presided, and there were present many gentlemen in terested in Poor-law questions as visitors, among whom were Dr. Carr, Mr. Ernest Hart, Rev. Mr. M'Gill, Dr. Goddard, Dr. Atstie, and Mr. J. C. Parkinson. Letters of apology were read from Mr. Thomas Hughes, M.P., Mr. Davenport Bromley, M.P., and others; and the hon. secretary, Dr. Dudfield, read a very able report upon the bill, which was generally approved, and it said, "No part of this statesman like scheme has excited more lively pleasure than the clauses which propose to put the treatment of the outdoor sick poor upon a proper footing. Efficient medical attendance, to gether with adequate relief, would keep many a family out of the workhouse, and so largely tend to diminish pau perism. For it is too true that the first plunge is all that is dreaded in this case as in many others; and the honest poor man who shrinks from the thought of entering the workhouse for the first time, after he has taken that fatal step is too prone ever after to regard the house as an easy resource in time of difficulty, and as a comfortable home, so pernicious is the loss of a proper sense of independence." The chairman moved the adoption of the report, and in doing so detailed the struggles the Poor Law medical of ficers had for a period extending over 11 years maintained against the guardians in the endeavour to maintain rights for themselves and the proper necessaries for the sick under• their charge,. Ho then referred to the establishment of the Association for assisting the Sick Poor in the London Workhouses, and dwelt upon the vast good which that as sociation, by the assistance of the press, had been able to accomplish in a very short time. He also referred to the labours of Dr. Anstie, Dr. Carr, and Mr. Ernest Hart, in visiting and reporting upon the London workhouse in firmaries, and said the value of those reports was to be soon in the great exposures whichhad followed as to the manage ment of those workhouses. He expressed himself as greatly pleased with Mr. Hardy's bill, but urged that there wore points which would have to be considered in committee. Dr. Welsh seconded the adoption of the report,which was carried unanimously. Dr. Dudfield then moved the following re solution :—" That this meeting is of opinion that Mr. Hardy's Metropolitan Poor Bill will effect considerable im provement in the medical care and treatment of the sick poor; and they recognise with great satisfaction that it embodies nearly all the recommendations suggested by this association." Mr. Eugene Goddard seconded the motion, which, with an addendum proposed by Dr. Fow ler, seconded by Dr. Carr, that all the charges of the in door sick poor should be defrayed out of the common fund, was carried unanimously. Resolutions were also carried that the bill should be watched and endeavours made to obtain life appointments for medical officers and for other purposes, and the proceedings closed in the usual manner. According to the Registrar's-General's report for 1866 we find that during last year the births in London were 107,992, while the 'deaths were only 80,129, the annual rate of mortality being 2.647 per cent., showing an average length of life of about 38 years. The usual weekly return shows 2,342 births and 1,337 deaths. Whooping cough appears to be prevalent. On Monday the steamer Africa arrived in Liver pool, and reported recent severe weather in the Atlantic. The American ship Resolute, on her out ward passage to New York, found the emigrant ship. Bavaria, from Havre to New York, dismasted and in great distress in lat. 39.30 N., long. 68.10 W., on Friday, January 25. The Resolute took 170 persons from the wreck and some bedding. Nu merous other shipping disasters are reported.

She had for some timebeen acquainted with the co-respondent, who is an officer in the Royal Horse Guards (Blue.) The ac quaintanceship ripened into intimacy. Mr. \Vestcar con stantly visited them when they came to London; tl,epeti tioner frequently dined with him at his mess, and the intercourse was also continued.in the country, Mr. Westcar's house, Heron Park, being within a few miles of Broad Park. On the:occasion of a return visit by Mr. and Mrs. Max well to the co-respondent circumstances occurred which occasioned the petitioner to return home alone in the most distracted state; of mind, and after that Mrs. Maxwell re mained at Heron Park, and when she sent for her ward robe and jdwels they were forwarded to her from Broad Oak. The evidence adduced by the petitioner were certain attendants of the Grosvenor Hotel and others. The Queen's Advocate, for the respondent, said he had but very few words to address to them. His client, more than any other parson in this instance, felt the hardship of the law in not being able to state to the jury her version of the matter. His client had pleaded denial of adultery ; but, after the witnesses that had been examined, he was bound to say that the denial bad not bawl supported. His duty as an advocate prevented him from struggling against the evidence, but ho could not refrain from saying that the conduct of Capt. Maxwell, is permitting his wife's visits, whom ho had married at the age of 19, and who was now only 23, was highly reprehensible. Ho could not deny the adultery, but the law would not allow him to say what the circumstances were that palliated the offence. Sergeant Ballantine, for the co-respondent, commented upon the carelessness of the petitioner permitting his wife, a young creature of 23, iu visiting a gentleman but two or three years older than herself, and between whom there had been, according to the address of the 1 earned counsel for the petitioner, " slight shocks of love." The jury, without leaving the box, found that the adul tery charged had been committed, and assessed the damages at £lO,OOO. ATAROWboff ses667. w er W e s t vs, Frjday.

The Defence of Due syads and ArsenalF. Yesterday morning the War-office sent forth 'a report of Lieut.-Colonel Jervois, Deputy Director of Fortifications, with reference to the progress made in the construction of the fortifications for the de fence of the dockyards and naval arsenals, &c., of the United Kingdom. The document includes a short notice with reference to the object and nature of each work included in the schedule of the fortifi cation Act of 1865, the expenditure or liabilities in curred thereon, and the probable suns for which it can be completed. With regard to the Horse Sand and No Mau's Forts, designed for thetlefence of the anchorage of Spithead, and of the eastern approach both to Spithead and the waters of the Solent be tween the Isle of Wight and the mainland, and also to protect Portsmouth Dockyard from distant bom bardment from the eastward, it is stated that the construction of the casements will be such as to ren der their stability independent of a breach in the basement wall, should one be effected. Their in terior will consist of a wall of iron lsin. thick, and they will be capable of receiving guns of about 18 tons in weight. The part of the work immediately behind the gun casemates is designed in such a man ner that four revolving iron turrets, each to contain two of the most powerful guns wl.ich can be worked, may be placed on the top. The centre of the turrets will be 54ft. from the exterior line of the work. The total number of guns for which space will be found in each of these forts will be 55 in casemates, besides eight in turrets, and 20 guns in each fort can be concentrated on one point. The works at Hyde Sand and Spit Bank, and that at Gilkicker on the inner line of sea defences, bear upon the anchorage in the event of an enemy passing the above referred to works. At Puckpool, on the shore of the Isle of Wight, is a mortar battery bear ing on the anchorage, and the fort at St. Helen's commands the anchorage there, and in conjunction with the other works the adjacent shore of the Isle of Wight. The total estimated cost of the Spithead and sea defences of the outer line, as detailed in the schedule of 1865, is £917,000, and excepting the turrets, the works, if of a granite con struction with iron shields at the embrasures, may be completed fear about that sum. An additional £254,000 will, however, be required to make the works of an iron-plated construction. The ex penditure up to 314 t December last was £267,207 ; • the liabilities, inclusive of the sum already ex pended, are £410,000. The estimate in 1865 for the inner sea defences, consisting of Gilkicker Battery, Southsea Batteries, and Lumps and East- Ley Batteries, was £105,000, and, excepting the iron shields and works connected therewith, £llB,OOO will probably suffice. The cost of the latter is estimated at £60,000. The total estimate for the defences of the Needles Passage, consisting of Hurst Castle and Batteries, Cliff-end Batteries, Needles Batteries, and Hatherwood and IVarden Point Batteries, was in 1865 £lBB,OOO. £200,000 will suffice to meet all payments included in the works. The iron shields will cost about £61,000 extra, and a further sum of £40,000 will be required if turrets are added. The estimates for the land defences are not likely, it appears, to be much exceeded. As regards Plymouth, the outer line of sea de fences consists of the works at Staddon Point, Picklecombe, and behind the breakwater, bearing respectively on the passages at either end of the breakwater, defending the anchorage in the Sound, and protecting the dockyard from bombardment from seaward. The total estimated cost was £298,000, and it is expected that this sum will be sufficient, except that the iron shields will cost £64,000 additional, and a further sum of £20,000 will be required if turrets are added on the Breakwater Fort. The inner line of sea defences at Plymouth, including Drake's Island Batteries and Mount Edgcumbe Battery, will, with the exception of £29,000 for iron shields, be completed for about the sum of £47,000. The land defences at Ply mouth will, it is expected, be completed within the estimates. The report includes similar statements with re gard to the defences of Pembroke, Milford Haven, and Portland. The new works for the defence of the Thames are about three miles below Gravesend, at Coalhouse Point, on the left bank of the river ; and Shornmead and Cliffe Creek, on the right bank. The expendi ture upon these defences up to Dec. 31 last was £140,000, the liabilities, £143,000. The estimate for the Medway works was £329,000, but it is not probable that they will be completed for less than £395,000. The cost of iron shields will be about £BO,OOO ; and if turrets are hereafter added on Garrison Point Fort and at Cheney and Queen borough Towers, a further sum of £40,000 will have to be provided in future estimates. No money has yet been voted for the Chatham eastern defence, the estimate for which is £500,000. The works at Dover recommended by the Defence Commission are approaching completion. The es timate for them was £278,000, and they will pro bably be completed for £285,000. The works for the defence of Cork Harbour and the naval establishment at Haulbowliue were esti mated to cost £159,000 ; and, provided convict la our be not withdrawn or diminished in strength, they will, irrespective of £30,000 for iron shields, be completed for that sum. _ _ _ A sum of 1150,000 was included in the schedule of 1861, and in previous acts, for the " purchase of a site for a central arsenal." The proposal was to acquire a tract of land for this purpose at Cannock Chase, but the purchase has not been effected, and it is suggested that the item may be omitted from future schedules. The e.timate in 1865 for land:3 was £1,080,000, and it is expected that all expenses under this head will be defrayed for £1,115,000. EMBEZZLEMENT ItF TIIE CHIEF ACCOUNTANT OF TILE NOTTING AM WATERWORKS COMPANV.-At the Not tingham Police-court on Thursday, Mr. Thos. Palethorpe, chief accountant to the Nottingham Waterworks Com pany, was charged before the sitting Magistrates with having embezzled £32 12s. 9d. belonging to his employers. The prisoner, it was alleged, had embezzled other monies, but this was the only charge entered into. Mr. S. Robin son (in the employ of the company) stated that the defen dant had been the chief accountant of the Waterworks Company. Witness had examined the'ai:c6unts, and had discovered the above • defalcation. Date&lye Longford apprehended the prisoner on the previous evening, and having read the warrant over to him, ho replied, " Is that an ?" Defalcations to the amount of £l2ll have b9en die.* covered. The bench remanded the case until to-day.

They als) knew that there was no co hesion in the great body of the Liberal party, which was consequently powerless to oppose effectively, even if there was a wish to do so. " I stated that I had strong objections to the bill of the late Government for this, among other reasons —that it was based on no sound principle, and so could effect no settlement. For the same reason I objected to the proposed scheme of the present Go vernment, and I remarked that if I accepted it I should be acknowledging that all I and my friends had done last year was wrong ; and, judging from the feeling of the present meeting, I expressed my opinion that such scheme was doomed. " While I approved Mr. Gladstone's motion con demnatory of the resolutions before the house, I ex pressed a hope that the Government would embody their scheme in the form of resolutions rather than directly in a bill, because such a course would afford a better opportunity to the house to come to au agreement as to th 3 principles on which to found a bill. "After paying my humble tribute to the dignity and moderation both of the views and the language of Mr. Gladstone in dealing with the measure of his opponents, and which tended to reunite the Liberal party, I assured him of the cordial support of those with whom I acted last rar to bring this great ques tion to a satisfactory issue, but on the express con ditions that such issue should rroceed on sound con stitutional principles, giving to each class afull equal share of representation, aud, above all, giving pre ponderance to none. I added, that we who last year found it necessary to separate from our friends did not consider ourselv, s, in the ordinary sense, a party ; that our difference with the Liberal party was only on the question of Reform, aud I sincerely hoped that difference might be of no long con tinuance." POLICE IN rELLIGEKCE.—This Day. ILUILBOROUG fl-STREET. COWARDLY ASSAULT. —J. W. Waters, cab-driver, was charged with assaulting Louisa Smith, a young woman. The complain‘nt (an " unfortunate") said that early this morning she was iu Little Windmill-street, and because she declined the prisuner's company, he knocked her down, and ran away, leaving her lying blooding on the pave ment. Sho said the prisoner was quite a stranger to her. W. Wallis, 83 C, said that, hearing a cry ofTh Police !" ho wont to Little Windmill-street, and saw the prisoner strike the complainant twice, and then run away as fast as he could. He went after the prisoner and took him into custody. In answer to the prisoner, the constable stated that the prisoner did not stop when he called to him. The constable, in reply to Mr. Arnold, said that both the complainant and the prisoner were sober. The blows given by the prisoner were very severe ones. The prisoner said that he had given the complainant some money, and she refused to give it him back. Mr. Arnold said that whatever might have taken place between, the prisoner was not justified in assaulting the complainant. Women of the complainant's class were en titled by law to as much protection as any one else. He should commit the prisoner for 14 days with hard labour. WESTMINSTER. COWARDLY ASSAULT • trON WOMEN.—Richard Law rence, a young man, was brought up in custody, charged with assaulting two young women without the least pro vocation. Alice Smith, a smart looking-girl, said she had been on terms of intimacy with the defendant, but having refused to continue it, had not been with hint or spoken to him fora fortnight. She was at the Duke of York Tavern with a friend last night, when..he attempted to engage her in conversation, but she declined and made no reply to him. Subsequently she was going home with her friend when be came up, gars her two or titres blows on the face and knocked her down. Her friend came to har assistance, and then ho also ill-used her. Defendant said ho had taken a little drink, and com plainant very much provoked him by her conduct. A young woman, who had accompanied Alice Smith, said that they wore quietly wending their way towards their homes when defendant came up and, without any provocation, knocked complainant down. 'Witness assisted to prevent any further assault, when the defendant struck her and afterwards kicked her. She thought it a great shame, as she was a perfect stranger to him. Defendant said he could not have meant to assault her, and it was in consequence of the drink he had taken. Mr. Selfe said he had committed a very cowardly attack upon the young woman, for which ho should commit him fora month to the H ouse of Correction. THAMES. ROBBING A SAlLOR.—Michael Crawley, aged 18, James Donovan, 15, and John Mahou t 15, wore charged with stealing two sovereigns, and 4s. or 55., in silver from the person of James Robinson, a mariner, stopping at the Sailors Home, in Well -street. Tho prosecutor wont out yesterday in quest of adven tures with about £5 in gold and silver in his pockets, and his cruise turned out very unfortunate. He was staggering along Cable-street, Whitechapol, when he was beset by a number of young ruffians who struck him, knocked his hat off, and tripped him up. The gang then rifled his pockets, and although he caught one boy's hand he was too help less to hold him. Tho sailor'smoney was dragged from his pocket, and there was a general scramble for it. This scene occurred in broad daylight, and no one interfered on behalf of the helpless sailor. The boys ran away with their Foster, No./207 H, to the White Hart public-house, Rupert and they were traced by Floyd, 199, and square, booty Nv h , itechapel. There were six boys there, but only three of them could be identified. John Caison, of No. 94, Lucas-street, St. George-in-the- East, stated that he saw the boys about the sailor. They beat him and tripped him up, and he saw them pitching up money. The prisoners were three of the gang. He saw each of them pick up something, and then run away. Floyd and Foster said 2s. 4d. was taken from Donovan, .ss. Bd. from Mahoney, and 2s. from Crawley. They were all persons of bad character. Tho prisoner; in defence, said that other b .ys in the public-house had more money than was found on them. Foster said that three boys were released because they were respectable, and could not be identified. They were searched, and 7s. Bd. was found on one of the other boys, aid on a second, and nothing on the third. The prisoners, whose garments would not produce ss. at a rag shop, said their mothers gave them the silver and halfpence found on them. The prisoners were committed for trial. APOTHECARIES'-11ALL.—The following are the names of the gentlemen who passed their examination in the science and practice of medicine, and received certifi cates to practise, on Thursday, Feb. 28, 1867 : —Henry Franklin Parsons (St. Mary's Hospital), Frome, Somerset shire ; Anthony Herbert Martin (University College Hos pital), Evesham, Worcestershire; Charles Dorrington B a tt (St. Bartholomew's Hospital), Witney, Oxon:; John S a n- Thomas Abraha m J ern i ngham Cooksedge de t•son i cs Wyman re (St. Bartholomew' s H osp i ta l) , Al coster, Warn h i; (St. George's), Kensington Dispensary ; and Herbert Ridley (Newcastle Medical School), Hood-street, New castle-on-Tyne. TllE GREAT BULLION ROBBERY.--Some clue to the secret of this bold and skilful piece of nefarious enter prise has been found, and it is not unlikely that we shall soon hear of an arrest or two in connection with the affair. The chief mate of the Waterloo, whose name is William Richardson, not Robinson, as stated in the earlier reports, was again interrogated yesterday by tho directors of the General Steam Navigation Company, at their offices in Lombard-street ; and ho then disclosed his reasons for suspecting a lighterman as having borne a hand in the robbery. It appears that only two men belonging to the Waterloo were detained when the vessel left the pool on Wednesday morning. These were the chief mate, already mentioned, and the Dutch sailor who kept watch, or was supposed to keep watch, during Tuesday night, on dock. The surnamo of " Walsh"—not very often met with in Holland—was stated to be that of the seatnan in question, whose true names, proper and common, are thus written, Lauronse Olyehooke. It is scarcely questioned that this man, assuming him to be clear of the plot, must hive slept during the night ; though we are now informed, on the authority of the chief mate, that throe Customhouse officers were also on deck throughout the hours in which the daring scheme of plunder was so successfully accomplished. The missing barge was found early yesterday morning above bridge. Beyond the mere circumstance 'of the booty's having weighed more than two or 'even three men could well have managed to remove, there are appearances which induce the belief that a party of at least six in num ber was engaged in the felonious operations. 1 - btut tiledoniar ~.rueif.e.rg;t • 4 ' ... -1411 ) 4 1 a , Isrtr:TT • 1 0 bililtiPjf. ;, kw+, • (010 P ciiii & ..' :.gittoo, • 0 — ll Y u&Fent r .lii . •,a 4 1 01 • til,drtskolit i• i 0101 eiki,wipsElot • oat I .4x.. , I. p t. o. 21 1 p oio I .peovisior uoto n„p.r l4 9 j . 4., .k. ..g.4- ~ • V 0 10( ` .eh of sc.:ottani!. 010( „ell tinttp trui .1 ,AO a, S.M trekend..•l JO' s t .te fic o mv.i il 0101 st a , p,' : :Ilitki ' . , 010( at ' N" . 41 0 . 4010( it - '•1 '..t l - rtfilA ' cici r st. top' 4' . i ii r „, :au., Ku • 010 i lit s I D.Ri •„, yy ale!' , . 0 1;,1 i it " . u Vticke iAirYi 1, 11 r( et 4 . ntla liliTetlia'ckwal 10 " et '; Len., Brig - h., Ar'S'Obas . lbo et - on., Chat.; 'and DaVe 100 st Do. 3.letrop.

Brampton : Cumberland Mr. Warwick _ OCTOBER. Ancaster and Willoughby, Lincolnshire Mr. Spa ford AGRICULTURAL PROEPIIC ES. After some heavy rain, last week opened with a fair day, although the atmosphere was thick. Mon day was foggy, but no rain felr ; wind, N. to N.E. ; t hermoineter, 45 deg. ; barometer, 30.40 inches. Ploughing on the light laud soil was proceeded with, and preparations made for planting beans, which will soon go on extensively, weather permitting. The sorts most preferred are Harrow Ticks, some growers liking the Mazagans, which are grown chiefly in Essex, and to a fair extent in Kent, while other counties prefer a heavier quality. The growth of the small Pigeon or Heligoland has fallen off, and these have been comparatively scarce during the past season. The commencement of importing Egyptians again has caused these to recede in value a few shillings per quarter, otherwise good rates would have been maintained. There is a nice choice now of seed samples, and prices are moderate, so that farmers who have to purchase will be some what favoured both iu price and quality. As regards peas, the best sorts of hog qualities have sold more readily than white boiled de scriptions, maples particularly, and these are rather scarce and dear, but will most probably pay best in another . season, from the stocks being so closely worked up. A larger breadth of blues was grown last year than usual, running too much on the small qualities, and these have not commandcd good rates; whilst the large imperial blues have realised com paratively high prices, from the northern demand taking up so many, and they are still saleable for Scotland at good figures ; and these we strongly recommend. Tuesday was a thick foggy day, but with at times a little sun ; wind E. to S.E., ther mometer 48 deg., barometer 30.40 inches. Although there has not been much r .ia o: late, yet the laud does not dry nicely, and heavy soils can scarcely be got on to, but the light chalky lands work well, and on these farmers are getting on better, and they only await drying winds to proceed elsewhere. The wheat trade looks pretty healthy where it has escaped the slugs, but occasionally there are complaints on wet and retentive lands. Wednesday was a nice and cheering day for the country, occasionally sunny. Wind south-west to west ; thermometer, 50 deg., barometer, 30.40 inches. Remarkably fine weather this for the month of February, which is occasion ally so wintry and wet. The farmers, busily occu pied everywhere, are making steady progress with their field work under more favourable circumstances than of late. Barley samples for seed are now com manding attention. Some farmers are about to sow the discoloured parcels, as these are pretty sound, scarcely a grown sample to be found in thorn ; but the choicest qualities, such as Hudson's Golden Melon, aro yet sought after by other growers, and these will probably turn out the best and most re munerating by another season. A prime article is worth a good price, and there has been no fault found in the rates obtained for this throughout the season. The deliveries have materially fallen off, and all suitable qualities will realise full prices during the seed time ; and afterwards not much of any sort will be left, so that the maltsters who continue at work must pay a good price to secure a little of prime quality to finish off with. Thursday was a thick but favourable day, and work would proceed steadily. From Warwickshire our advices stated The weather during the week has been mostly fine and mild, with occasional showers, and farmers are now engaged upon the land, although this is at present in a very unfit state for working." Friday morning was doubtful, some slight rain having fallen ; but it held up afterwards, and but little more fell during the remainder of the day. Saturday was a remark ably fine day, sunny and dry ; and a good deal of field-work would be accomplished. The past week, on the whole, has been the finest of the season ; and if favourable weather continue farmers may soon bring up the arrears of their work, and put matters in good order. A drawba ck to thepresenotf foreign "Agri cultural Prospects" is the immense arrival wheat on the coast, b e ing a portion of the large fleet so long looked for. When this has been sold and dispersed throughout the United Kingdom a cheering hope may spring up again. Meantime the farmer will not push his remnant and small stock to market in the face of this superabundance of foreign produce.—Mark Lane Express. IMPORTANT ARREST IN IRELAND.—DUBLIN, F RIDA L— A man, who is thought to be O'Connor, the leader of the Fenians in their late raid in Kerry, was ar rested last night at Athlone, on the arrival of the train from Galway. 110 is still in custody, and exactly answers tho description of O'Connor. : . ,Three prizes of £5OO, £2OO, and £1()0 respec tively, have been offered by the association of col liery proprietors of South Lancashire and Cheshire to the inventors of the best machines for coal cutting. The machines are to be supplied not later than November 1, when they will be practically tested in the collieries before a committee appointed for the purpose. Correct steering and sailing rules are of the first importance to commercial nations. Numerous wrecks have recently occurred, which lead to the supposition that the rules are defective, or that they are neglected or ignored. Sir John Pakington ex pressed a few . nights ago in the House of Commons his intention c.tf conferring with the Board of Trade and the Trinity House, iu order to ascertain whether the rules could. not be made more simple and effec tual, especially with regard to the exhibition of • ID ED • r ys THIRIX44in'a , O'CLOCK. riii&sm(NgicE, TRIESTE, MarclTHEl—DEVltteliall steamer has .rived with accounts- flom.-Coustatititiople of the 3d iihAES:II4 Rlttreh df—tne2llhva Discord was , ?nzraie* twitingeebnatif tfrgmiConelliQ reo•gaDiStl- • cfailfultlieatialeeßaficasyotathd)ettUhvetiv..l3- eon- ; trpeda.diigrgriapguttlititimeirgentsh L, I iwen ordered FtErenxfh thouGifeekuneray volittiteers utainupdgorEctrin 4bantiktibatiflltrinEat ut I,l,Lrty t t io n i_tpoi r aritildthClintaufwatniters.

The near t.pproach of tholiverpool Grand National week was indicated to- day by the muster at the clubs, where speculation was remarkably brisk on the coming "Derby" of the chase, leading to s!trne most note= worthy movements in connection with several animals engaged. Shake:pearo was very firm at his quoted price, a nd was supported to win some thousands, which had a depressing effect on his stable companion Dermot Asthore, who at 20 to 1 was friendless. The feature of the hour was the rush to get on Fan, and an almost similar demonstration in favour of King Arthur, each of whom were supported down to 100 to 8, at which price Cortolvin was in demand, ha being backed "in ono hand" to win £1,500 at that price. Lord Coventry's lot were in some demand, but Mr. Studd's lot appeared under a cloud. Surney, after all sorts of prices had been laid was clean knocked out to 100 to 1.
