At noon on Thursday a boiler explosion occurred at the sawmills of Mr. Amos Roe, Worcester Wharf, Birming ham, by which two men lost their lives. The boiler was of the kind known as Cornish. It was 20ft. long and 6ft. in diameter. Mr. Roe, the proprietor, and a'friend had just passed out of the boiler-room; when a noise resemb ling thunder was heard, and the gentlemen were buried in debris. On search being made the engineer (William Cowley), the foreman (Henry Alexander), and a boy, named George Cook, were found lying in different parts of the room. The former two, both dreadfully scalded, were removed to the Queen's Hospital, and they there expired in a short time. Cook was taken home. Mr. Roe and his friend escaped with slight bruises. Cowley and Alexander each leave a widow and family of four or five children. About fifty men have been thrown out of employment. The chimbey stack was shattered, the place took fire, and a large quantity of timber narrowly escaped destruction. The damage done to other property is con siderable. IHE DENHAM TRAGEDY. Jones's conduct in the prison has been just such as might have been expected, savage and brutal, injuring himself in mad fits of passion, and threatening others. The other day Daniel Love, the warder of Reading Gaol, told him he was sorry to see him in for such a crime, to which he replied, " Why should you be sorry ? I a'nt sorry ; they can't but swing me" jumping from the chair, and indicating the fall of tie drop. He is narrowly watched day and night. The disappointment was very great at Slough on Tuesday when it was found the prisoner would not leave Aylesbury. Crowds of persons entered the town from far distant places in the hope of seeing him. Many were satisfied on being told by the police that he was not there, but something like a hundred remained, threatening to break into the police court, if he were not brought out, and they had not all dispersed until six in the evening. The departure of Superintendent Dunham with his witnesses in the morning was thought a mere ruse, as it was stated that they had merely gone to Taplow, and would return with the prisoner. The police have not yet given up possession. of the house at Denham, which, we understand, the owner will shortly cause to be destroyed. GREAT FIRE NEAR LEIOESTER-SQUARE. The most extensive fire that has occurred in this part of the metropolis for a considerable time past happened at an early hour yesterday, and for hours caused intense excitement to prevail amongst some hundred families re siding in the immediate locality- The premises in which the fire originated belonged to Mr. J. W. Ward, a green grocer and fruiterer, carrying on business at No. 26, Little Pulteney-street. The discovery was made by a police-constable, who at once aroused the inmates, but such was the fury of the flames that the inmates had barely time to rush out of the building when the whole structure became encircled in flame, igniting at the same time the grocery and tea establishment of Mr. Hall, as well as the premises of Mr. W. Parr, bootmaker, No. 16, Great Crown-court, and also the house of Mr T. Sutton, jun., hardwareman, and one or two others. All this was the work of a few minutes, and before sufficient time had elapsed for the arriv a l of an engine the scene was terrible. The houses were broken open with axes, and many of the inmates, who were sound asleep, were fetched out of their beds. Many children were brought out in their night-clothes, and grown-up people, only half dressed, had to hasten for their lives. One house after the other caught fire, and at one time this mmensely-populated court was like a furnace of fire. After several hours of labour the conflagration was extin guished, but the damage is thus described officially by Captain Shaw :—" 26, Little Pulteney-street, J. Ward, greengrocer. A house of five rooms burned and fallen down. Insured in the General Fire-office. Mr. F. Wall, grocer, the first and second floors and contents nearly burned out and the roof off. Rest of house and contents severely damaged by fire and water, &c. No. 35, W. and J. E. Taylor, cheesemongers. Side front of premises severely damaged by fire, and contents by water. No. 37, ditto, A. A. Milliner. Building and contents damaged by Water, &c. No. 16, Great Crown-court—Mr. W. Karr, bootmaker, house and contents severely damaged by fire, water, &c. No. 15, ditto—Mr. T. Sutton, jun, hardware man, back windows burned out, the roof damaged by breakage, and rest of premises injured by water. No. 3, ditto, let out in tenements, back windows burned out and contents damaged by water, removal, &c." Whilst the above fire was raging another commenced in the premises of Mr. G. W. Dray, waste paper dealer, in Queen's Head-yard, Borough, High street. In the course of a few minutes the two upper warehouses, containing Borne tons weight of paper, were in flames, and the fire commenced attacking the boiler-house of Guy's Hospital. The flames were subdued, but not before Mr. Dray's pre mises were destroyed, and the premises belonging to the hospital much injured. THE MURDER OF A STEPMOTHER. Yesterday, at the Thames Police-court, William Red head, aged 18 years, was brought up on remand before Mr. Lushington, charged with the wilful murder of Sarah Redhead, his stepmother, at No. 80, Sidney-street, Step ney, on Monday afternoon last. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, appeared for the prisoner. lie was instructed to defend the youth by Captain Munro, of the 7th Tower Hamlets Volunteers. A gentleman repre senting the firm by whom the prisoner was employed was also present, and manifested great interest on his behalf. Mr. Robert Edward Swyer, surgeon, of the Mile-end road, said he had made a post-mortem examinatfon of the body of the deceased. A bullet had fractured the tenth rib, passed through the body, and lacerated the heart in its passage, causing immediate death. From the position of the wound he believed the deceased was coming down Stairs, and as she turned the curve of the stairs she was shot. The prisoner must have come out of his room and fired at the deceased. Mary Ann Morris, the wife of James Morris, labourer, and living in the house where the murder was committed, said she was on the landing on the top of the first-floor stairs when the shot was fired. The deceased was walk ing down stairs, and had nearly reached the bottom, when she was shot. The deceased had just left the room in Which the witness lived, and followed her out of the room. Directly afterwards she heard the report of a gun, and Smoke ascended the staircase and deceased fell. The Prisoner was standing up in his room close to the door when she saw him. Mr. Philip Norris Page, sergeant in the 7th Tower Hamlets Rifles, said the prisoner was a member of that WrePlllivuedrevdastopiiymtisZgraotunthdes roafngaelloncaSrtartiudrdaesy prisoner fired 20 of them at the range, and had 10 rounds left. The prisoner returned eight of them, and fired two for himself at practice. Mr. Edward Worels, superintendent of the K division of police, said that, after reading the charge to the pri soner at the station-house on Monday afternoon last, he asked him if he had any answer to make, and his reply was, " All that I can say is that my stepmother has been v ery unkind to me and my sister. That is all I have to say. , Annie Brighton, in addition to her former evidence, said th a t w h en s h e s t e pp e d ove r the body of the deceased after leaving her room, the feet were towards the stairs and the head towards the street door, and she believed the deceased fell off the last step. Mr. Worels—That completes the case for the prosecu tion. Mr. Charles Young.—l am entrusted with the defence of this most unfortunate lad. lam aware that your wor- BhiP has no alternative but to commit him for trial on the grave charge of murder. I have numerous witnesses to speak to the mild and inoffensive character of the pri soner, and his uniform good conduct in all the relations of life, but I will not call them here. His employers have also sent their representative to this court to speak to his fidelity, honesty, and attention during the three Fears he was in their service. The prisoner will reserve ms defence. Mr. Lushington com witted the prisoner for trial. MADAME SAINTON-DOLBY.—On Monday next Mada me Sainton-Dolby, who for so many years has Charmed the lovers of music by her pure and beautiful style of singing, will take her farewell of the public at a concert in St. James's Hall. CRYSTAL PALACE.—The summer concert this afternoon will be supported by the following artists : Madame Lemmens-Sherrington, Mdlle. Louisa Cari, Draseil, Mr. Sims Reeves, Signor Urio, Herr ,o,tockha usen , and (solo pianoforte) Chevalier Antonie de -K-ontski. This is the last day of the exhibition of roses. The gardens of Rockhills will be open for promenade. TriE FLOWER SERMON.—The flower sermon will, t his l .. year, be p rea ched, at St. Katharine Cree, Leaden nall-street, as St. James's Church, is closed for the pre sent. This quaintly interesting service will commence at seven o'clock, on Whit-Tuesday evening, and the sermon will, as usual be preached by the Rev. Dr. Whittemore, r ector of St. James's. The young persons attending this special service carry bouquets, and the sermon is on some oral text. There is something both touching and encou- I ; a glng in the site of an old City church crowded to over blooming th these young laeople, whose eager and ountenances are a flower-sermon in themselves. - -City p re ,. of NEW LIFE SAVING ANCHOR.—A renewed series p, e xperiments with the " Rogers' projectile anchor for t'it,e-preservig purposes" were made at Portsmouth, under ,ua official superintendence of Capt. H. Boys, commanding ner Majesty's gunnery ship Excellent, which were attended With very satisfactory results as to the efficiency of the in vention and m o d e o f application. An eight-inch ordinary service mortar was 'used, and in the first experiment made a Iprojectile anchor, weighing 1281 b., fitted with an expansive v .I,K and carrying a rove one-inch line, was thrown 156 line charge of Boz. of powder. By means of the tore line a three-and-a-half-inch hawser was passed at a continuous rope, the holding powers of the anchor an swering the test bus applied very satisfactorily In the see "d experiment, an anchor of 1281 b in weight was propelled in the o f t , e water, by a pow d er c h arg e of 8 oz., a an elevation th e ue mortar of 38 d egrees, t o a di s t anc e of 152 yards from I shore. By th e a id o f t h e w hi p -li ne a th re e-and-a-quar- Xinch hawser was rove through the anchor block, and a s launch, with ten men on board as the crow, but not assisting in the haulin g , was h au l e d ou t t o o ver the spot where he anchor held, and without tripping the anchor. . third experiment consisted in throwing a cone and is _c ) ,ek weighing 401 b. a distance of 163 yards, the charge, as B';r r e, being Boz. of powder, and the elevation of the mortar , o g., a rove line being attached to the cone block. In t hrown I urth experiment a cone and block weighing 841 b. was lur n own 196 yards with Boz. of powder, and in the fifth and p_cluding experiment the same cone and block was thrown rude by a powder charge of 12 oz. In all the experi --Lents an inch rope was used as a whip line. POLICE INTELLIGENCE -YESTERDAY. ESTERDAY. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. A GOLD BRACELET " FOUND."—Henry Hawkins, a shoemaker, of John-street, Lambeth, was charged before Mr. Knox, at the Marlborough-street Police-court, with stealing a gold bracelet, the property of some person un known. A few days ago the prisoner went into the shop of Mr. Scrivener, watchmaker and jeweller, of Princes street, Story's-gate, and asked Mr. Scrivener whether a bracelet he produced was gold. Mr. Scrivener told him it was, and the prisoner then offered it for sale, and, in answer to some question put to him, accounted for its pos session by stating that he had picked it up in a cab in the Haymarket. Mr. Scrivener told the prisoner that he should detain the bracelet, take his address, and give information to the police, and did so. On the 28th of May Sergeant Mullord, a detective of the L division, received information from Mr, Scrivener respecting the bracelet, and on going to the prisoner yesterday and ask ing him to account for his possession of it he said that he was in the habit of minding cabs at a fish-shop in Whit combe-stree, and seeing the bracelet lying at the bottom of a hansom cab he picked it up, put it into his pocket, said nothing to the driver, and afterwards offered it for . sale. The prisoner was remanded, and the bracelet (a gold Belcher chain pattern, with gold heart containing hair attached) remains in the hands of the sergeant. RUFFIANLY ASSAULT.—John Ford, a low-looking fel low, was charged at the Westminster Police Court with the following acts of ruffianism. Emily Green, a respect able-looking girl, said that she and three others were standing last night in Lombard-street, Chelsea, when the accused came up and addressed them in the most revolt ing and disgusting language. They told him that they did not wish to say anything to him, and desired him to go away. He repeated his filth, and suddenly knocked complainant down with a violent blow on the face, and then rushing upon a second girl also assaulted her. He ran off akd was pursued and captured. The defendant said the women first interfered with him. A respectable resident deposed that every word of his statement was untrue, and that the young women were shamefully treated. Mr. Self. committed him for three months with , hard labour. (BY ELWIBIC TRI4EG.R4PH.) FRANCE. PARIS, June a. M. Chevaudier de Valdrome, Minister of the Interior, said in the Chamber of Deputies, in reply to M. Cochery, that public meetings during the Conseils Genera= elec tions were illegal, and the Government must maintain the law. M. Bethmont's motion permitting meetings during the electoral period will be discussed to-morrow. M. de Valdrome also said the Gardes Champetres would not be allowed to distribute voting papers. The Committee of the Corps Legislatif reco.mmends the the free admission of foreign newspapers into France, and that they should only be intercepted when attacking the empire. The departure of the Toulon squadron for Portugal is contradicted. The Duke of Magenta, it is said, has resigned his office MS governor-general of Algeria, and only retains it pro tern.

PARIS ) 'Tune 3% SUCKING THE MONKEY—ASSAULT ON A DOCK CON STABLE.—CharIes Welpdale, a dock labourer, was charged at the Thames Police-court with an offence called "suck ing the monkey," and assaulting Watson Howard, a con stable in the employ of the London and St. Katherine Dock Company. The constable detected the prisoner in the act of drinking sherry out of a cask by means of a tube he had inserted in the bung-hole. The constable seized him and took the tube (a glass one) from him. The pri soner immediately struck him a heavy blow on the right cheek and felled him to the ground. The prisoner was sentenced to pay a fine of 20s. or be imprisoned 14 days for drinking the wine, and one month for the assault on the constable. The High Court of Justice has assembled. According to the Gazette des Tribunaux the arrest of sixty-four of the persons accused of conspiracy will be confirmed, and ten discharged. It is stated that the cost of the new Roman Catholic chapel which the Duke of Norfolk is erecting at Arundel will be about £50,000.

BRIGANDAGE IN ITALY.—Letters from Calabria state that no further apprehensions of an increase of brigandage are entertained. In consequence of the dis persion of the Filadelfia band all engaged in that move ment have returned to their homes. A remnant of the band of Nathan, consisting of ten persons, is wandering about in the mountains between the provinces of Como and Londrio, and is being pursued by the troops. Several garrisons on the frontiers have been strengthened. The Swiss gendarmes are echeloned in sight of the Swiss frontier. A band, numbering sixty persons, com prising several students, has appeared north of the Lake of Como. A NEW ANODYNE.—It is announced by several journals that Dr. Oscar Liebreich, to whom we owe Protagon and the now well-known Chloral, has dis covered a new anodyne to which the name of Chloride of Athylide (Aeth,ylidenchlorid) has been given. This sub stance, which has been repeatedly applied with perfect success in the clinical hospital of Dr. Langenbeck, is said to be more rapid and agreeable in its effects than chloro form. The chief merit, however, claimed for it is, that it may be administered without interfering with the free and natural breathing of the patient, an advantage which it possesses over most other anaesthetics. As the effect of the new body is stated to be very transient, the dose must be repeated in a lengthened operation.—North German Coreespondent. ANGLO-GERMAN OPHTHALMIC DISPENSARY.—The second private subscription ball in aid of the funds of this excellent society will take place in St. James's Hall, on Wednesday, the 15th inst.. The list of Lady Patronesses is long and influential, and amongst the names of stewards will be found those of several gentlemen of standing and position. The first ball given for a similar object was so eminently successful that it has been determined to orga nise a second one, and from the energy with which the friends of the institution are working, and the deserving character of the charity, it is to be hoped the second ball will result in more than ordinary success. Those wishing for further information have only to apply to 15, Old Cavendish-street, where the secretary will be happy to give the fullest information respecting either the ball or the dispensary. THE DERBY A FUNERAL.—Foreigners who happen to be in London during the " Derby week " probably from some odd notions about the scenes of " the road and the race." Very odd, for instance, was the notion which two South Anierican lads, newly arrived in Clapham a few days before the race, got into their heads from seeing the road." It so happened that the old grandmother in the family into which they were to be received had died a few days before their coming. It was found out afterwards that they wrote home to their friends telling them how the old lady had died, and how her funeral had taken place on the following Wednesday, a more splendid funeral than they had ever heard of, people going all the morning and coming back all night. We have been told often enough that we amuse ourselves very sadly, and here is another testimony of the truth of the saying.—Pall Mall Gazette. MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE OF A YOUNG LADY. —Teignmouth (Devon) with all the neighbourhood, was on Thursday in a state of great excitement in consequence of the strange disappearance of Miss Shaw, eldest daughter of Mr. J. Shaw, Berne-park. The young lady, who is not quite 13 years of age, left school at five p.m. on Wednes day evening, but at ten p.m. had not reached home. Her father, being alarmed, went to the school to inquire the reason of her absence, when he found that she had left at the time above stated, and had been sent by the school mistres going in the direction of Bitta-street. She was afterwards seen by a man named Gill to pass through Bishopsteignton. She was further supposed to have been seen riding in a waggon towards Chudleigh. The father and several friends had been engaged in searching for her the whole day, but up to ten o'clock on Thursday night Mrs. Shaw had received no information as to her where abouts.— Western Morning News. A NEW AND IMPORTANT FOOD DISCOVERED 114)R CHILDREN AND INVALlDS.—Especially deserving more than a passing notice is " The entire wheat flour." Nothing hitherto produced has combined all the necessary qualities for nourishing and sustaining the whole fabric of the human body. It is especially to be remembered that during its infancy there is additional work to•be done in the formation of the various organic substances neces sary for the building up of a healthy structure. It is not enough to supply that which is necessary for one portion of the body only, all parts must be duly cared for ; there must be flesh-forming materials to repair the waste of the muscles and provide for their increase that which sustains genial warmth and provides for the formation of bone so rapid used in early life. These essential requisites are not found in arrowroot and the various starchy foods generally used, hence the desideratum of a food combining all that is necessary for the supply of the total demands of the body. For invalids it is invaluable. As a prepara tion for children it is important in the extreme, affording as it does all the component parts of a perfect food, easily digestible, more productive of a generally healthy frame than any other diet. All persons desirous of testing this invaluable discovery of the entire wheat flour, prepared by Orlando Jones and Co., can do so not as a mere ex periment, but with a certainty of success.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. THE OAKS DAY, 1870. The sky was yesterday even more clouded than on the Derby Day, and a fall of rain appeared imminent, almost at any moment. The weather, kept up, however, and the famous race was run a few minutes after three without any unpleasantness whatever. Londoners too clearly saw at noon that the marked falling-off in interest with which a com bination of causes afflicted this year's Derby would be no less observable at Epsom for the Oaks. ' The attendance on the course if it was not numerous was brilliant, the ladies having come down in open barouches, and on drags in large numbers. The appearance of the dresses in the grand stand truly gave one at the off side of the course the idea of shelving banks of flowers, while the numberless parasols rendered the carriages, posted everywhere around, scarcely less remarkable. The heat of the day was very exhausting, and the ladies deserve all praise for patronising the " maid's day "as they did. The small field that came to the starting-post caused much disappointment, and a considerable alteration in the betting. The following horses were ex- Tcted to take part in the running :—Hester ustance), Sunshine (Snowden), Pate (Marsh), amos (Fordham), Gertrude (T. F renc h), B r i g ht Weather (Hibbert). The latest betting in town was as follows :-11 to 8 on Hester, 7 to 2 against Sunshine (taken), Bto 2 against Pate (taken), 100 to 8 against Gamos (taken), 20 to 1 against Gertrude (taken). After the preliminary canter, however, Sunshine and Pâté gained much favour. Hester still, however, was looked upon as the queen of the fillies. The Epsom Two-yr-old Plate of 200 Borg.

Without much difficulty a good start was effected at the first attempt, and the usual cries, " They're off" was heard on all sides. They all ran together for a short distance, when Patd showed in advance and ultimately she began cutting out the race, bnt the whole lot were well together.

' Pate then improved her position, but Fordiam seemed to husband the strength of Gamos for one of those rushes which 'have proved so successful to hip. Matters want on without much change, either one , vay or the other, until within one hundred yard of the judge's post, when, with the help of whipcord and a strong jerk Fordham shot Gamos ti the front of Sunshine, and amidst the most deps,:ning plaudits landed his mare the winner, thus making up for his failure on the Derby Day. Pate was third, but the bowling over of the favourite was a great surprise ana disappointment to many. Gamos's chance was not looked upon as a very rosy one, as much as 10 or 12- to 1 could have been had about her at the start. Time as taken by Benson's Chronograph ; —Duration of race, 2 min. 46 sec.

HARE ON THE RACECOURSE,—Just before the horses were started for the Derby race a hare which had been roused from among the furzes on the Downs entered the course at Tattenhana Corner, and made down towards the Grand Stand ; but the shoutings of the bystanders, and the efforts of many of them to capture pussy caused her to beat a retreat, much alarmed at her un welcome rec option. THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA AND THE KING OF PRUSSIA.—The official press of Berlin have stated that the visit of the King of Prussia to Ems is only an act of courtesy, but other interpretations have been put upon it. It is said that the Russian Government regards with a jealous eye the fortifications which Prussia has built in the Island of Alsen and on the coasts of the Baltic. Prince Gortschakoff did not conceal from Count Bismarck the annoyance which his Government experienced at the prospect of Prussia attaining the command of the Baltic, to which Russia would wish t o h ave a f ree access . A s the Vice- Chancellor of the Czar has not followed up his observa tions with any definite policy, King William has made many friendly protestations to the Emperor, doubtless in the hope of preventing any more energetic remonstrances on the part of Russia. The London correspondent of a Manchester paper says : "We adjourned, I need not now be ashamed to say, to go to the Derby. Mr. Gladstone's presence on the Downs on Wednesday sets us all at ease on that point. I am told by a friend who was on the Grand Stand that the presence of the right hon , gentleman excited the greatestinterest and curiosity among the kabitias. With great prudence he had placed himself in the charge of Lord Granville, who is, I need not say, as much at home on the racecourse as he is everywhere else, and who piloted his chief through the crowd with the most assiduous and amazing care." FREE AND OPEN OHURCH.—At a meeting of the London Free and Open Church Association, the treasurer reported that, at a meeting which he attended on the 12th ult., for promoting a new church in the parish of Hoxton, he had proposed a resolution expressing the sense of the meeting that all the seats should be free and unappro priated, which resolution was carried unanimously. Also that the neW rector of an important rural parish in the London diocese had abolished the pew-rents which had been illegally collected in a chapel of ease in the parish, and was taking steps to make the chapel free from appro priation of seats. rA.,......E.. - J—Holloway's Ointment and Pills.— Diseases and casualties incidental to youth May be safely treated by the use of these excellent medicaments, accord ing to the printed directions f lded round each box and pot.

Yesterday afternoon the Bishop of Winchester p re . sided over an influential meeting held at th e B e ll e-vue Assembly Rooms, Bournemouth, in support o f th e Na tional Society for Promoting the Education of th e P oor in the Principles of the Church of England. The right rev. chairman delivered a lengthy and eloquent address, in which he expressed his entire approval of the society, and commended it to public support as an agency that should be kept in vigour as well as in vitality. Proceed ing to speak of the general question of education, the Bishop said it was his conviction that the conscience clause, properly managed and arranged, was the was a people best thing that could be adopted, at the pr esen t time. He admitted, amid loud che ers, his co nviction that the people of England would not endure what professed to b e a purely secular system of education. He thought secular given contradiction to them m i n b terms rms God. among It as Possible who educationhahad t h w e a s a Bible to lead by secularities , to quicken the intellect, as well as to form externally respectable habits. We were so divided upon religious matters that there was a risk through divisions of playing into the hands of secu larists. He for one, therefore, was especially anxious to see perfect freedom to all denominations of Christians, to introduce into schools which should yet have the assist ance of the nation distinct religious teaching. He thought the plan proposed by Mr. Forster admirably adapted to meet the difficuity, and he wished to strengthen the hands of the Government in maintaining in the main their pre sent measure. THE NEW BRIDGE ACROSS THE CLYDE. Yesterday the Earl of Dalhousie, as Grand Master Mason of Scotland, laid the foundation-stone of the new bridge across the Clyde at Hutchesontown, Glasgow, to be called the Albert-bridge, in honour of the late Prince Consort. Several thousand brethren belonging to the Masonic Lodges in different parts of the east and west of Scotland, the sheriffs of the city, the Lord Provost, magistrates and town-council, members of the Merchants' Trades' House, Chamber of Commerce, and of other bodies took part in the procession. It mustered in the cathedral and marched through the principal streets to the site of the new bridge. The number of spectators was estimated at 100,000. The Earl of Dalhousie was pre sented with the freedom of the city and was afterwards entertained to a banquet in the corporation galleries. The bridge, which is to be the handsomest In Scotland, will be finished in October. THE CHARGES AGAINST THE MASTER OF BRISTOL WORKHOUSE. At a meeting of the Bristol Guardians, to-day, a letter was read from the Poor-law Board, stating that, on con• sidering the evidence adduced at Mr. Longley's recent investigation into the serious charges against Mr. Groe torex, master of the Bristol Workhouse, they had no alternative but to ask Mr. Groetorex to resign his appointment.

The stakes agreed for We £2OO a side, and Thursday, July 14, is named as the day for the race. It is to be hoped in the interests of young watermen who aspire to high position in their calling that nothing will arise to disturb the even tenour of the match, and that the objectionable legal proceed ings which were caused by their last meeting will not as before sow distrust among the ranks of Thames watermen, and bring into derision a sport that ought to be without blemish. Kelley has done so well of late in his match with Bright on the Tyne, and in his forfeit which Renforth gave him, that he will want but a steady amount of work to be once more fit. We would rather see the race take place under the laws of the Thames Regatta, which the Northerners have adopted for their international race with the New Brunswickers in September, but one of the most stringent conditions of the Thames Regatta laws has been adopted as regards the jurisdiction of the umpire, so that a fair race is in view.

MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT, FRIDAY.—The tameness of tone that we noticed no Tuesday still prevails, but there is rather more steadiness in prices, which is partly owing to more cheerful advices from Liverpool yesterday, and also in conse quence of rather more inquiries n the part of buyers here ; but these have not yet led to any appreciable increase of business. The most Loticeable feature of our market is the great steadiness of prices compared with the limited daily operations. This steadiness is due to the engage ments still held by producers, coupled with the absence of stocks, and also to the comparatively strong position of cotton, notwithstanding the large stocks now held there. Yarns for the home trade and export are very steady in price to-day, and shew no decline on those paid on Tuesday. The demand for India has been small, and for China still less. For the Conti nent little has been done of late, but there are signs of more doing at an surly date. For home trade qualities the full prices of Tuesaffir 4, asked, and paid for when the wants of buyers are pressing, In Math the transactions have been of a general char acter, and In no instance large. Offers for India are still making notwithstanding the unfavourable telegrams received from thence. For other foreign markets there is little doing. The home trade operations continue quite insignificant. MINING SHARE LIST.-JUNE 3. Messrs. WATSON BROTHERS. Mining Offices, 1, St. Michael's Alley, Cornhill, London.

About £121,000 of the above has been sent into the Bank, and further amounts will follow, as acme large shipments are expected from America, and there is but a small demand for export. Silver—The Seine brings about £73,000 from the West Indies, and the Hansa and Donan £32,000 from New York. At present prices there is no demand for India, but the rate has slightly declined in consequence of the Dutch Exchanges having fallen, and we quote the price at 60ad. per oz. standard. The Seine has brought about £213,000 in Mexican dollars from the West Indies, and a further amount is expected by the French steamer at St. NazAire.

The steamers which left New York for Europe yester day took out £BO,OOO in specie. The new Peruvian loan is expected to be introduced here immediately. The report of the Malta mad Mediterranean Gas Com pany, to be presented on the 7th inst., recommends a dividend at the rate of 4 per cm* on the ordinary shares ; that £3OO be added to the Reserve Fund, and that £386 be paid off preliminary and other expenses. At a meeting of the London Chartered Bank of Aus tralia, it was shewn that there was an available balance of £56,612. Of this sum it was determined to appropriate £40,000 in payment of a dividend at the rate of 8 per cent per annum, and £10,0.00 in payment of a bonus of one per cent., absorbing together £50,000, and to carry forward a balance of £6,612.
