The Florence correspondent of the Independance Beige, writing on the 21st, says : —l! Garibaldi has just left Florence. He has gone to a country seat near Arezzo, and appears to be determined henceforth to concentrate all his attention and all his efforts upon the Roman question. His health is completely re -established." We are glad to observe that the Royal Horticul tural Socieiy, following the example set by the Interna tional Horticultural Exhibition of last year, announce that their great fete, commencing June 4, will remain open for five days, and we understand it is intended to admit the public on the Thursday and Friday fur is. The policy of giving the million a chance of seeing such a grand ex hibition will doubtless prove successful. NRWSVENDORS' BENEVOLENT AND PROVIDENT INSTITUTION.- - The annual meeting of the members of this institution took place last evening at the News Exchange, Black Horse-alley, Fleet-street. Mr. R. J. occupied the chair, and con- Wood, of the IFeckly Dispatch, gratulated the subscribers upon the steady progress which the institution was making. He was happy to say that ono pensioner was to be elected during the evening from two candidates, one or whom had been engaged in the news trade upwards of 45 years, and the other 50 years. It was also gratifying to know that the particular feature in the rules which enabled the committee to grant tempo rary relief bad been carried out with satisfactory results, the unsuccessful candidates having in many instances received assistance almost equivalent to a pension. The ;secretary then read the 29th annual report of the committee. It announced an increase in the amount of the funds invested, which now reached the sum of £2,530 The committee at the same time regretted that the annual• subscriptions were slightly under the amount received last year. But there could bo no doubt that renewed exertions were necessary to enable the committee to meet the claims pressing upon the funds of the institution. The balance sheet for the year ending March 31, 1867, showed that the receipts amounted to £341 9s. 10d., and the expenditure to £309 Gs. 3d., leaving a balance of £39 3s. 7d. The report and statement of accounts were received and adopted, and resolutions were passed re-electing officers and returning thanks to them for their past exertions. The successful candidate for the pension was Robert Fielding, who re ceived '229 votes, 174 having been given for J. M'Gheo. VICTOR HUGO'S SENSITIONALISII.—Victor Hugo, indeed, may be called the creator of true romance, just as the French call him the creator of their romantic poetry. By those whose application of the word " sensational" is indiscriminate he has boon thought to merit their favourite accusation. Perhaps they aro right; but if Victor lingo is "sensational," so is Shakspere when he makes Macbeth murder Duncan ; so is Shelley when he makes Beatrice conspire against her father's life ; so is Coleridge when lie makes Geraldine take Christabol in her arms; so is Goethe when he introduces Faust to the Devil ; so, in short, is every great man who has ever written, who has chosen subjects more sublime on which to expatiate than a com pany of spinsters drinking tea round a table. [ADVERIISEMENT.] —HOllOWay'S Ointment and Pills.— The variable temperature of most climates is always preg nant with colds, catarrhs, tu mours, and abscesses, and all scrofulous diseases and glandular affections usually become worse at each variation. Holloway's Ointment, diligently rubbed upon the skin as near to the affected part as possi ble, will be found the most sale and efficient means of im mediately subduing pain and finally eradicating the seeds of 'future mischief from the system. Whenever the malady is chronic, constitutional or dangerous, Holloway's Pills should be taken to quicken and increase the curative powers. Scurvy, skin diseases , and similar disorders dis appear before the cleansing and healing influence of Hol loway's remedies, which, fur their successful employment, only require moderate time and fair attention.

COOPER V. WELLS. TRAINING QUART.ERS. This case, it will be remembered, was an action brought by Miss Hooper, a governess, and the daughter of a tradesman in the Borough, on the ground of unlawful dismissal. From the evidence of Mr. Wells, the defendant, a gentleman residing on Hampstead Heath, the defence set up was that plaintiff had been the authoress of certain ,candalous letters which had been posted to herself and Mrs. Wells. It appeared that the plaintiff was about to leave the service, and in the November before she was going Mrs. Wells found some pieces of paper in her hand-writing, which induced her to prosecute inquiries, the result of which was that Miss Hooper was dismissed on the spot. The Lord Chief Baron, before whom the case was tried, went through the whole of the documentary evidence in the case, and carefully read over to the Court the oral evidence of the plaintiff and his wit nesses, and the defendant and his witnesses. Mr. Sergeant Robinson (with him Mr. Joy) then com menced his argument against the rule nisi for a new trial. At the conclusion of the argument of Sergeant Robinson, the Judges advised that they should allow the Court in Troyer to be withdrawn, the Court granting all the costs, but not the costs of the rule. if this was agreed to the letters should be destroyed. Sergeant Robinson and Sergelnt O'Brien then retired to a private room and burnt them, and the matter ended. POLICE INEELLIGEPTOB.—fhis Day. ----~ - 11A.RLI3OROUGII-STREET. ASSAULT ON A WlFE.—Stephen Carty, 13- tailor, was brought before Mr. Knox on a warrant by Pric'e, one of the warrant officers, charged with assaulting 'his wife, Caroline Carty.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. - o-- SALE OF THE RAWOLIFFE YEAIZLINGS Twenty yearlings from the Itawcliffe Stud were offered for sale on Monday by Mr. Edmund Tattersall at Albert Gate, and of these eighteen wore disposed of, two only re maining unsold, which were a colt by Voltigaur out of Mary, and a filly by Young Melbourne out of Thistle. There were four Newminsters, four Clarets, and the same number of Young Melbournes ; Voltigeur, Leamington, Jordan, Citadel, Carnival, Blair Athol, and Brother of Bird on the Wing claiming parentage to the others. Owing to the severe weather that has prevailed in Yorkshire, these yearlings were not so forward as youngsters bred in the South, but they were healthy and unencumbered with flesh, the state in which a trainer prefers to get them. Without ex ception, they were as sound a lot as we ever inspected, their hocks and joints being well formed and free from disease. The eighteen lots disposed.of realised 2,650 guineas, being an average of nearly 143 guineas each, a price which can hardly be considered remunerati re, when the great expense attending the rearing of blood stock are considered. The recent resolution promulgated by Messrs. Tattersall, that all animals should be paid for before being removed, may in some instances have prevented more liberal prices being given ; but in the and it is likely to prove advantageous to all parties. Considering that it was the Monday after the Derby, the attendance was not so large as usual, and many of the principal Turfites were absent, being probably en gaged with more important business in the rooms adjoin ing. The Voltigeurs figured.rather ingloriously, the only one sold being the filly out of Kildonan's dam, which is very moderate, and brought her full value. The filly by Jordan out of Emeute, a useful wear-and-tear sort of ani mal, and certain to race, also went cheap to Mr. Saxon. The Young Melbourn es were next put up, but were not much ad mired,being deficient in quality. The first of them, a filly out of Thistle, was not sold,. there being no bidder for her, and the other three were taken by Mr. B. E. Dunbar (owner of Tormentor) at low prices. The colt out of Pauline brought the most money, and will prove the best of the three. Prince Soltykoff obtained one of the most useful colts of the entire lot for the small sum of 50 guineas. Ho is by Citadel out of a mare by Jordan, and although low in con dition has fine girth and good back, with extraordinary well set hocks. The Carnival colt met with an accident on the day previous to the sale, and was iu consequence stiff in his quarters. Ile is small, but well topped and compact. The colt by Brother . to Bird on the Wing was, in our opinion, the cheapest animal sold. Mr. Oldacre, after some little competition with Priuco Solty koff, obtainedhim for 70 guineas, and afterwards transferred him for a consideration toMr. It. Porter. The Blair Athol colt is large and powerful, but his action is not good. The Newminsters were put up next, and consisted of two colts and two fillies, which produced in t he aggregate 1,160 gs. The "gem" of the sale was the filly by Newininster ou t of Dutchman's Daughter, a remark abl y woll- g rown, racing like animal, with splendid legs and sound joints. After some spirited bidding between Mr. Angell aed Mr. Holmes, the latter gentleman obtained her for 560 guineas, at which price she was decidedly cheap. The recent success of Hermit should have stimulated bidders to give better prices for the stock of Newtninster, as the old horse cannot -pos sibly last many years longer. The filly by Claret out of Queen Bee, although rather small, is compact and•well shaped, with good legs and foot ; but she owed her price more to the reputation of her half-sisters, Cerintha and Cellina, than to her own excellence. ' The colt by Claret out of Sphynx. (dam of Beeswing, winner of the Chester Cup) is large and well topped, but leggy. He was examined carefully by Squire Ileathcote, who, however, did not ap pear to fancy him, and in consequence Mr. G. Angell ob tained him, but gave quite enough for him. The list of prices and purchases is appended; which shows an average of upwards of 9 guineas : Bay filly by Voltigeur out of Shamrock (dam of Kul donan) (Mr. Holmes) 40 Brown filly by Leamington out of Annie Laurin (Captain Walker) 30 Bay filly by Jordan ont of Etneute (the dam of Schiedam) (Mr. Saxon) 65 Brown filly by Young Melbourne out of Jewess (dam of Birague) (Mr. B.

RANELAGLI YACHT CLUB. £2, 650 The above club opened its season on Tueslay with a match amongst the second-class yachts for two prizes, re spectively of the value of £lO and £3. The competing craft were as follows: Yachts. Tons. Owners. Erolite Dagmar ... 5 Novice There was a time allowance of a minute per ton. The course was front Erith to the Chapman Head and back, and the yachts were started at a quarter to twelve in a very stiff wind from S.S.W., which obliged them all to have roof down, the Dagmar, indeed, sailing throughout the day with two in her mainsail. It was what was ordinarily termed a " soldier's breeze." The Novice, front her size, was first in trim and under way, followed by the Dagmar. The Zeolite then tried to weather the Novice, but the latter lulling, she bore up to leaward. The Novice only hold her lead into Long Reach, where the Zeolite passed her, and ever after this maintained the lead ; nor was there anything else worthy of record throughout the match, the superior tonnage of the Zeolite rendering her success, barring accident, a matter almost of certainty. The Zeolite. turned at the Chapman GI minutes in advance of the Novice, and beat. her after a little running to windward in the Hope by about five minutes. The Dagmar kept tolerably close to the second boat, and all were very well sai led. The Fairy steamer accompanied the race with a very respectable company on board. The weather was some w•hat uninviting in the morning, or the visitors would pro bably have been more numerous. TIMID EDITION. SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLocK. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE —This Day.

PICKING POCKETS IN A RAILWAY CARRIAGE.—Mary Jones, a woman about 30 years of ago, decently dressed, was finally examined, charged with attempting to pick pockets. It appeared from the evidence on the last occasion that the prisoner and a companion got into a first-class carriage from Victoria to Clapham with third-class tickets. There also travelled in that carriage Mrs. Harriet M'Ciregor, of Lavender-villas. Whitmore, the guard, went to look after the tickets, and finding the prisoner and fyiend had third class tickets requested them th leave the carriage. They did so, and the prosecutrix, who had £2 108. in her pocket, felt the prisoner's hand there ; and the guard also saw the hand in her pocket as far as the wrist, and took her into custody. Mrs. M‘Grogor lost nothing. It WAS now stated that the prosecutrix was not in attendance, anzl ticket-of-leave-man tol i the officer she had been "squared." Mr. W. D. Smyth, solicitor, of Rochester-row, appeared for the accused, and said the lady had gone to Russia, and was now probably in St. Petersburg, whither she had in formed the Magistrate she was going. Nothing was missed, and there 'was . nothing against the prisoner -pre vious. lie bogged that she might be dealt with not as a felon, but for the misdemeanour nutter the Vagrant Act. Mr. Selfo told prisoner she was no doubt an adept at the business, and sentenced her to three mouths' hard labour as a rogue and vagabond. THAMES. John Grady, of Wellington Barracks, a soldier, charged Roger Sweeney with robbing him of a China medal, at a coffee-hOuse at the corner of Spectacle-alley, NI" hitechapel. The cyidence proved that the prosecutor and the prisoner mtogether in Whitechapel, at an early hour that morn ing,°t and the latter said that he bad been a soldier in the 10th Regiment, but had left on a pension. He had some coffee at a stall in the street, and they there adjourned to the coffee-house and had more coffee and rum in it. lfter some time the prosecutor fell asleep, but ho was awakened,by a butcher named Wright, who saw the prisoner leaning over the prosecutor's breast, and passing it to and fro as if he were cutting the ribbon. Wright ran after the prisoner, caught him, and the medal was found upon him, when he said he took care of the medal at the request of the prosecutor. The prosecutor denied this, and lir. Partridge remanded the prisoner till Saturday next. MARKETS.--This day. ----4,- MARK-LANE. There was a very poor show of English wheat on offer here to-day, coastwise and by railway. The demands for all inactive ; nevertheless, facters were litre iu their demands, at prices about equal to Monday. We were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied with foreign wheat. Good and fine parcels were taken off slowly at full quotations ; but low and damp parcels were quite .neglected. The transactions in floating cargoes of grain were very moderate, at late rates. " • ' The small quantity of barley on the stands moved off steadily, at full quotations. Malt was a dull inquiry, but not cheaper. The supply was tolerably good. Oats supported previous rates, with a fair demand, Beans and peas were firm, but flour was a slow in- quirt'. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat.. Barley. Malt. Oath. Flour.

COURTS OF PROBATE.--The compensation annui ties payable to proctors and other officers of the abolished ecclesiastical and prerogative courts decreased by deaths to the extent of ..Ci,077 in the year 1866. The cost of main taining courts of probate in England and Ireland amounted to £112,232 in that year, and, the fees received having reached £140,086, left a surplus of £!7,851; but these compensations, amounting to £39,543, turned the surplus into a deficit of .C 1,689 to be Paid out of the public purse. The fees charged in the Divorce Court appear to have amounted to no more than £2,596. -------- SEARCII FOR WILLS.—In the year 1866 no less than 37,643 wills were search e d for, awl examined if found atD.co4BctBo2rs;-s.commons.

They resulted in the commitment of the prisoner for trial. A great mass of evidence was adduced, but as au outline of the facts has already been given, it is unneces sary to repeat them. On the conclusion of tte inquiry the prisoner was removed to Norwich Castle, there to await his trial at the ensuing Norfolk Assizes.

The capital raised was £30,000,' 60 that there was a deficiency of more than £lOO,OOO. Th e company had power to issue £378,000 additional preference shares, but in the state of the money market these shares could not be issued. The company had also further powers to raise money by loans, which it had not yet exercised, to the extent of £7.5,0J0. The proposition of this bill was to cancel the power to issue the £378,000 ❑uissued preference shares, and to take power to issue .C 330,000 pro-preference shares. The proposition was of so novel a nature, that he had thought it prop3r.to bring the matter before the house. Mr. HADFIELD gave notice that to-morrow ho would move for a committee of inquiry into the general questi.en. Mr. BOUVERI thought the hon. me:uWr for Sheffield should make this a distinct motion, and not as an amend ment to the third reading of this particular bill. Mr. SAMUELSON and Colonel W. PATTEN said it would create great distrust on the part of shareholders in railways if now stock was in this manner - to obtain a pre-preference, and thought the subject should be inquired into. • The bill was then ordered to b 3 read a third time. The North British Railway (Carlisle Deviation) Bill was also considered, and ordered to ba read a third time. The Ahstillery Gas and Water Bill and the Great Eastern, Railway Finance Bill were read a second time. GREAT YARMOUTE AND LANCASTER. Mr. BAXTER gave !laic() of his intoution to move that these boroughs should only be deprived of one member each.

Major S. KNOX said his objectin moving that the house b 3 counted was because an obnoxious measure—the Eccle siastical Titles Bill—was coming on, and specially for this purpose. Mr. BOUVERIE thought the new practice was liable to gross abuse.. He remarked that the Speaker was scarcely is the chair when the motion for the count was made, and that the hon. member for Armagh was at the door keeping members out. It was matter for consideration whether some rider should not be added to the motion made on Monday by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, so as to pre serve the rights of private members. Sir IL ED WARDS hoped the remarks of the member for Roscommon would be listened to, and that such a case would not occur again this session. Last night the leaders of the Opposition were conspicuous by their absence. Mr. VANCE said he approved of the count out last night, because he thought the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill was of too much importance to bo considered in a small House. lie was much delighted under the circumstances that the House was counted out. Mr. G. HARDY sail, with respect to last night, the Government did their best to get a House. Ile did not think there would have been any difficulty in doing so, but he believed the count out depended more on those who had come down than on those who had not. It was his earnest desire that the rights of private members should be maintained, and he trusted and believed that no more counts out would take place. Mr. N EWDEGA.TE complained of the studious absence of members of the House belonging to the Established Church when matters like the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill were under consideration. The motion for adjournment was then withdrawn, and the subject dropped. UNIFORMITY ACT AMENDMENT BILL. Mr. FAWCETT moved the second reading of this bill, the object of which is to allow the colleges of Oxford and Cambridge to admit to fellowships Perseus who are net members of the Established Church. It might be inquired, who asked for this bill ? Iu reply ha would remark that it was a numerous body of iel'ows of the colleges of bo',h Universities. It was true that the majority was ,t; trust them, but he wished to make the Universities national institutions. It was time the barriers that at present kept the pr:z of the Universities entirely fir the triAnbers of the Church of Eeigl.,nd should be removed. Ile felt that in the event of this reasonable proposition being refused it would become the duty of thee) who supporteil his view of the question to take steps to attain their object in t% more direct and cifcctu inviner. The measure was molerate, simplo, and p rmissice, as the provisions of the ine.untro could not COlll3 into force while the majorit; of-any college had decided to put the act into operation. Mr. MORRISON seconded the 'notion. Mr. SELAVY.N . disapproved of the motion, and there fore ho moved that the bill be read a sewed time that day six months, because he feared that the actual result of the bill would nut only admit those which were at present ex cluded, but enable those who professed no religion at all to claim a portion of the university emolumeute. Mr. GORST seconded the amendment. Mr. P. UnurlianT supported, and Sir W. HEATHEOTE opposed, the Sergeant GAZELEE supported the bill, and said that the fact of none of the heads of the colleges having peti tioned the house in its favour was a circumstance favour able towards the bill, because no body, however corrupt, was in favour of reforming itself. Mr. GLADSTONE said the attempt to maintain the present state of things was desirable in the interest neither of the colleges themselves or of those not in conformity with the Church of England. The attainment of a fellowship was a crowning act of a university career, but then came the question whether the clergy were to be educated without reference to religious opinions. The right hon. gentleman then proceeded to a rgue against th e bill now under the consideration of the house as a measure which did not deal with the matter in broad manner, and concluded by saying ho felt he could not give his vote in its favour. Mr. B. Hore opposed, and Mr. CARDWELL supported the bill. The latter hon. gentleman proceeded at some length to criticise the speeches that had been made by the hon. and learned member who moved the amendment, and with respect to the bill not affecting Roman Catholics, he thought if they read the bill a second time they could remedy that in connittiee. Mr. G. HARDY thought the bill a very bad one, and as it was a step in the wrong direction he hoped the house would reject it by a large majority. Mr. BOUVERIE would cordially give his vote in favour of the Aecond reading. The house divided, when there appeared — For the second reading .... 200 Against it Majority for the bill The other orders of the day were thou disposed of, and the house adjourned. Professor Harrison and his Pupils. This afternoon, Profess; Harrison, of the Sheri dan Knowles public. house, Brydges-street, facing Drury-lane Theatre, appeared at Bow-street before Mr. Flowers, to answer a summons served on him by Mr. - Buck, the warrant officer of this court, for murderous assaults on James Rainey and William Jolly, in his tap-room, on Monday night. Both the complainants appeared in court with their heads covered with bandages ; and from their evidence it appeared they were drinking in the tap-room, when ' some angry words having ensued, the defendant took up a pint pot, and inflicted such serious in juries on the pliintiffs that they had both to be taken to King's Ctillege Hospital to have their wounls dressed. Evidence to the above effect having been given, the magistrate remanded the prisoner till Saturday, for the production of a medical certificate. Bail was accepted, himself in £lOO and two sure ties of £5O each. The requisite bail having d en tendered and ac ce p ted the. pris ln er was liberate. th e indigenous cal production in creasein ti e s of Els.lish coal imported by th e an d the greater ginititino hid to appali i to Belgium for they have • BELGIAN CGAL.—NotwitlrtandillgtheofgrFeratthc , Fl e ucb, l arge r a nd larger , coal supplies.

Considerable as were the imports of English coal into France, they wore thus out-distanced altogether by the supplies received from Belgium. The deliveries of coal from the Zollverein to Belgium experienced a groat expansion last year, the total being 22,086 tons as compared with 1,338 tons in 1865, and 1,031 tons in 1864. The Zollvercin also sent to Belgium last year 3,080 tons of coke, making the total deliveries of coal and coke 23,166 tons. It may be interesting to add that while Franco imported 3,783,711 tons of Belgian cal last year, the corresponding imports iu 1856 were 3,035,056 tons ; in 1846, 1,350,206 tons ; in 1836, 715,871 t ons; 272,005 tone. —in 1826, 410, 6 11; and in 18:6, I
