With respect to the new Egyptian Loan about to be introduced on the security of the private estates of the Viceroy, it is suggested that defensive trdns a'tiens should be taken on behalf of the subscribers to the last loan, which was raised on the condition that there should be no new one for five years. But t he case- is a perilexing one. The Viceroy bound h imself not to make a new '° Government" loan, and i t ie now urged by the promoters of the present opera tion that it is not governmental, but personal, and , th at in his private capacity every potentate has an independent right to pledge his family possessions. To this there is the rejoinder that the Viceroy being vir tually a despot, it is idle to attempt to draw distinc tions between his individual and sovereign position. T hat assumption, however, is not capable of positive Proof, and it ma y, -th ere f ore , be doubted whether ' il l Highness is not w:thiu the letbr of legal pro priety in Ys present course. If the loan can be objected to as an actual infraction of the limit of the Viceroy's powers or obligations, it would be for the Sulta n to protest against it, and although it was at °ne time expected that this protest would be made, it is now currently reported that such will not be the e ase. Whether this is a decision arrived at after a careful review of the matter, or whether it results from other influences to which politicians at Con stantinople are supposed to be susceptible, the fact Will be equally adverse to the success of any opposi tion that might be attempted here. It is notified by the Union Bank of Australia that they are prepared to pay, on and after the 2d prox., the principal and interest due the Ist May on loans of .the City of -Melbourne, Victoria. The liquidators of the Bank of Turkey have issued t heir' final report on the winding up. They announce further return of Bs. per share, after which distri bution a balance of £7OO will remain to provide for the charges of the liquidation. The whole amount returned to the shareholders will be £3 Bs, out of £5 Paid. The report of the Great Northern Telegraph Com pany, presented at the meeting held at Copenhagen, s tates that the net receipts since the formation, on the Ist of June last, have amounted to £14,519 188. 6(1 . A dividend of 6s. 6d. per share was declared, the sum of £1,451 19s. 10d. was carried to reserve, and a balance of £67 18s. Bd. carried forward to new account. A message dated Calc - atta, Saturday, half-past 12 boon, was received by the Indo-European Company this morning at half-past ten o'ciock,thus beating time by two hours. The New York advices mention the failure of Jenkins, Vail, and Peabody ; Haviland, Lindsay, a nd Co. ; and J. W. Prentice and Co. The first two firms were importers of manufactured goods ; the last, wholesale hatters. The liabilities of each house appear to range from about £50,000 to £15 0,000, and the difficulties are attributed to the fall in the gold premium.

Albert Gibson, picture frame maker, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with attempting to p'ck the pocket of Ellen Gray, a servant, at Camden New road, Kensington, while on the platform of the Portland-road station of the Metropolitan Railway. The I,rosecutrix said she was about entering a car riage at the Portland-road station last night when she felt a pull at her dress, and thought it was done by her sister, but on turning round she saw the prisoner in the hands of an inspector, who said he had seen the prisoner's band in her pocket. Albert Morgan, station inspector, said that seeing the pri soner on the platform, and knowing he was regularly " working " the line, he watched him, and saw him put his hand into the prosecutrix's pocket, and he then took him into custody. It having been proved that he was an old hand he was sent to prison for three months with hard labour. Dan..bian Principalities, 7 per.

A fearful colliery accident took place near Bath gate, Edinburgh, on Saturday morning, by which seven lives were sacrificed. At about half-past 11 o'clock it was discovered that the up-cast shaft of Starlaw Shale pit was on fire. There were then fifty-six men in the pit, and before they were as sembled at the bottom of the down-cast shaft, the framework at the mouth of the pit was all on fire, and the woodwork of the down-cast. shaft was becoming ignited. With- in leFs than ten miuutes forty-nine out of the fifty-six men ha.l been brought up. When at last it was found that no more could be got to the surface, attempts were made to extinguish the fire. After gr, atlabour this was accomplished, and a search made in the pit for the missing men. They were found lying about in different directions on thdr faces; death was caused by want of air, the flames in the shaf,s having actually exhausted the air in the pit. Six out of the seven dead men were married, and five of them leave large families. ACCIDENT TO A MAIL TRAIN. The mail train from the north to London, on the Lancaster and Carlisle section of the North-Western Railway, met with a very serious accident yesterday morning, at Greyrigg Bank, six miles north of Oxen holme, in Cumberland. At about half-past one, whilst travelling at the rate of nearly fifty miles an hour, all the carriages suddenly left the rails, ploughing up the ground, and creating the most alarming confusion. Some of the carriages were seriously damaged. The engine, and a guard's van immediately behind it, kept upon the rail. The driver stopped the engine immediately, and afterwards, to prevent a collision, steamed to Oxenholme, giving instructions for all the trains going north to be stopped there. Whilst this was being done a messenger was des patched northwards to keep back all the trains proceeding south. On looking through the car riages at the scene of the accident, it was found that "several passengers had been seriously injured. They were conveyed to Oxenholme, temporarily attended to by a surgeon there, and thence sent on to Kendal. Some new rails are being laid where the accident happened, and it is supposed that the packing of some of the sleepers had become loose and caused them to give way. The mail was delayed between three and four hours. INCENDIARY FIRES. This (Monday) morning Captain Shaw reported two fires as having been caused by incendiarie One was in an unfinished house belonging to a builder named J. Lond, Situate at 130, Grant-road, Plough-lane, Battersea. The flames were not ex• tinguished until the building was burnt out, and the roof off. The second wilful fire was on the estate of Mr. T. Tapley, a farmer, known as Langley Farm, South End, Lewisham. When discovered the fire had obtained possession of a rick of wheat, and from the fact that the four sides were on fire at one time it was quite clear that some evil disposed persons set fire to the wheat. The en gines and London Salvage Corps very promptly attended, but the fire was not conquered until the rick was nearly destroyed. The property was unin sured. Twelve other fires were also reported as having occurred since six o'clock on Saturday morn ing up to six o'clock this (Monday) morning. One was at Messrs. Daveys, lamp black factory, Marsh gate-lane, Stratord, by which the " Black House" was burned out, and the roof of an adjoining build ing burned. A fire that destroyed a part of the premises of Mr. Byron, 5, St. John's-street, White chapel, also took place, and another destroyed the flour stores of Mr. Wenzell, a baker, in Bow Com mon lane. A large fire also took place in the oil and grease factory of Messrs. Barrett and Co., Meeson's wharf, Stratford, which was destroyed. Air. Barry has pubilshed a letter in reference to the demand made by the Office of Works, in which he states that he hall offered to furnish Mr. Ayrton with those drawings which he has himself prepared for works at the Houses of Parliament. This (observes the Architect) does not touch the question as to the bulk of the drawings in Mr. Barry's possession, which are those prepared by the late Sir Charles Barry. DISASTER IN VIENNA.—A serious accident has occurred in Vienna, in the street Maximilian. Some scaffolding, fell down and killed, it is said, nine persons, seriously wounding seven others, and slightly injuring many more. The Emperor himself went t o th e scene o f the disaster, and gays . %,:roctions for the relief of the sufferers.

John Smith, described as an engineer, and the landlord of the Black Horse, a house of public enter= ment, in Catherine-street, Bromley, was brought before Mr. Lushington, charged with assaulting George Church, of No. 60, St. Leonard-road, Bromley. It appeared that the prisoner is in the service of a steam-tug company, and was quarrelling with his wife, and said in the hearing of the complain. ant, "If I was to murder her, they would hang me," on which Clarke observed, " And serve you right, too ;" on which the prisoner struck him a heavy blow with his fist, and knocked him down. The prisoner then brutally kicked the complainant on the mouth while he was on the ground, and dislodged two of his teeth. The Prisoner—l was the worse for drink, sir. Mr. Lushington—And committed this cowardly assault. You courted an observation from the com plaivant, and then knocked him down, and deprived him of two teeth. You are quite unfit to keep a public-house. I sentence you to six weeks' imprison ment and hard labour. The Prisoner—Will you take a fine, sir ? I can pay a fine. Mr. Lushington I daresay you can ; I will take no fine. Six weeks' hard labour. THE IRISH NATIONAL PRESS. The Irish national press exhibits undiminished wrath at the Ministerial determination to maintain law and order across St. George's ChanneL The Irishman of Fri day prints two of its articles in mourning for the passing of the Peace Preservation Bill, which it calls the death warrant of liberty of speech in Ireland. It sums up its spinions on the subject by a single line, emphatically an nouncing " There is no liberty of the Press in Ireland." The proprietor of the Irishman has personal as well as public ground for discontent, as he has received a notice from Mr. Heron, M.P., calling on him to produce his books in court as one of the securities in the Tipperary petition. This is merely a matter of form to prove his position, but the proprietor denouncesit as inquisitive. Thelrishmanfinas a social grievance in an advertisement for a coachman. Mr. Warburton, who was fired at in Queen's County, advertises for several servants, whom he, not unnaturally, wishes to be Protestants and Eng lishmen. Such a stipulation, says the Irishman, does more to exasperate the peasants to crime than the journals which endeavour to repress such bad courses. The Irishman, in another place gives this encouragement for the future. "Had the Establishment remained domi neering over the country, Catholics would not have made a stand against clerical despotism. One despotism thus engenders another. After the Land Act, other things will be possible—yet undreamt of.' Priests are quite out of favour with the irate Irishman. The tyrant majority' of the Longford clergy not only rigidly suppressed the citizen rights of Longford priests, but they took sure measures to destroy the citizen rights of any other priest who should dare to visit Longford. Any lay citizen might enter that county and take what part it seemed good to him—might support Greville, or speak for Martin. In doilyg so, he exercised his free rights as a citizen, and none could gainsay it. Not even the police, under the coercion rule, could order him 'out of the country. But how different has it Men with respect to priests ! The Rev. Mr. Mullin, in the exercise of his free rights as a citizen, went to Longford to support Mastin. In the twinkling of an eye there was a tele gram to his superior in his own diocese, and a message back, ordering him to leave Longford within six hours.' AVII2re was the respect for that priest's ' rights as a citizen ?' If he did not leave he was to be ' sus pended '—orae of the most severe sentences that can be issued against a priest. Thus, for the exercise of his free rights as a citizen he was to have a severe spiri tual punishment—to be forbidden for an indefinite period to celebrate mass before his parishioners." The Flag of Ireland denounces the Longford priests even more bitterly. It says " Every tittle of evidence given by the priests themselves only confirms the disgraceful story ,of the intimidation and undue influence which the earlier evidence on the petition revealed. Priest after priest has been called to the witness table, and each one of them has sworn that he received money, with which he supplied drink to his parishioners, organised violent mobs, and generally acted as electioneering agent to the English guardsman. Those self-denying clergyme n received £3,500 over and above the admitted expenses. What did they do with it ? They are morally responsible for the sin, the drunkenness, the violence, the blood, and the hatred . which dis g raced Longford. 'Longford proclaims that it is time the Pope sent in a rescript to prevent the demoralisation of the people and the desecration of the sanctuaryby electioneer ing priests for the purpose of the English party in Ire land.

O UR , Nyw TRAMIDAYS.—The opposition between the tramways and the omnibuses may now be said to have fairly commenced in the suburbs of the metropolis, although it is difficult for the habitué of London to determine exactly where London, strictly speaking, may be said to terminate and the suburbs begin. It would probably equally puzzle the Board of Works to solve the same problem. After an amount of trouble, and in the face of difficulties that would have disheartened any less energetic individuals, the promoters of metr o p olitan tramways have carried their point. Being well aware from past experience that the fo r bearance and permission of vestries and local cor porate authorities is a very broken reed to trust to, they were resolved to be in future independent, within certain well-defined limits, of all such treacherons contingencies. Accordingly, they went the right way to work, and obtained an Act of Parliament to legalise their ulterior proceedings. Had this wise method of commencing a novel project been resorted to in the first instance, it is more than probable that long ere the present time we should have had abundance of tramways in and about London. At any rate better late than never, andlow that the scheme is properly organised and actually caffied out, so far as the construction of the road is concerned, the practical test will soon determine its value, will soon pro nounce whether tramways are to be an " institution " in our metropolis or are merely to flourish for a while, only to be consign ed in the end to unremembered oblivion. W e do not lay c laim to the thankless province of the properly or soo thsayer, bu t we venture to p redi ct that , if conducted, tramways ought cortainly to become a perma nent medium of intercommunication among us.—The Mechanics' liragaZine. .UATAL TRADE DISPUTE IN BouturA.—A. collision has ta k en place between the Imperial troops in Austria and a body o f workmen on strike. Th e other day the artisans of several manufactories at Reichemb e we re 011 s t r ike, went to Swarow to induc e the artisans of sof t ha t town to desist from their employment in a similar manner. They found the principal manufct cccupied b y troops, and a conflict ensued. The soldiers upon t h e crowd, and five men were killed on the spot,. while 25 or were wounded. One skilled, .soldier was and ano ther wounded. Great agitation prevails throughout t h e northern part of Bohemia, and all the manufactories of Swarow have been closed, while reinforcements of t r oops are being sent from Prague.

The trade of Limerick has greatly fallen off lately. For a great number of years a steamer has left it for London every week, whereas th e l as t s t eamer th a t l e ft Limerick this year did so on the 7th February, and the next will not leave before the 10th April. A man was buried alive in a limo kiln near Dorchester yesterday. The deceased, Robert Leach, was in the employ of Mr. Job Lew es , a li me burner. While at work a large quantity of chalk fell upon him, and he was suffocated.

SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLocK. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS—Tins DAY. The speaker took the chair at a quarter before tom o'clock. The attendance at prayers at the commencement of the proceedings to-day was very great, but immediately the Speaker's chaplain had concluded the service the greater part of the members quitted the House, but left their cards in the small frame at the back of the seat they had occupied, signifying that the place was taken. The. Speaker's and strangers' gallery was completely filled, and in the gallery appropriated to the House of Peers were the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Derby, Viscount Ebury, Chief Justice Whiteside, Lord Lawrence, Lord Lyveden, ;aid the Duke of Richmond. THIRD READING. The Blackburn Corporation Improvement Bill and the Hebden Bridge Gas Bill. METROPOLITAN DISTRICT RAILWAY BILL. On the motion that this bill be further considered; Mr. CRAWFORD moved that the further con.sidera tion of this bill be deferred until the 26th of April, and that in the meantime the evidence taken before the select committee be printed and circulated. The hon. gentleman then stated the circumstances that had led him, on the part of the corporation of London, the merchants and traders therein, and the Metropolitan Board of Works, to oppose the proposition of the direc tors of this railway to make a great station in Queen Victoria-street, which, he said, would be a direct act of vandalism. He contended that the carrying in effect of the proposition he had mentioned could not be termed a public improvement, but, on the contrary, it would be a very great public inconvenience. The point at which it was proposed to disgorge the traffic was already the most crowded portion of the City, and the adding t. the immense traffic that of a large number of railway pas sengers would produce an amount of confusion that it wa almost impossible to conceive. He denied that the sub way would at all tend to remedy the anticipated evil, ani therefore he hoped the House would agree to the proposi t!on he had made. Mr. CROSS, the chairman of the select committee to which the bill had been referred, said that many of the statements that had been made to the House had not come under the consideration of the commission. He thought thefrcourse taken by the hon. member an exceed ingly inconvenient course, in raising the question at that, time and in that House, the more so as it was certain the bill, before it became law, would have to go before the Committee of the House of. Lords, where all the evidence of the Corporation and other persons could laL. heard. He denied that there would be any station Queen Victoria-street, but said that the entry and egress to and from the railway, would be in the houses at the corner of Bucklerebury. Nothing like the station as stated by the hon. member, would be visible,. in the new street, and therefore this great act of vandalism, of which the hon. member complained, would not be committed. Mr. DODSON appealed to the hon. member not to perse vere with his motion, as if the bill was considered that day it could not be read a third time until after after Easter There would, therefore, be ample time to have the evidence printed, and then he would also be in a position on the motion for the third reading to move the rejection of the bill if he felt it his duty to do so. After a few words from Mr. Beresford Hope and Lord Elcho, Mr. CRAUFORD adopted the suggestion of Mr. Dodson on the understanding that on the motion for the third reading he could move the re-committal of the bill. The motion was then withdrawn. NEW MEMBERS, Mr. KENNEwAv took the oath and his seat for East Devon. The hon. gentlemen was introduced by Mr. Kekewich and Mr. Scourfield. THE SEA QUEEN, Mr. Alderman LAWRENCE asked the Secretary to the Board of Trade whether any inquiry had taken place by the Board of Trade respecting the loss of the Sea Queen off Yarmouth on the 13th of February last, when the captain, officers, and a crew of twenty-four hands all perished. The, ship left Shields laden with coalA and bound for Malaga, her registered tonnage being 677 tons, and actual tonnage 903-tons ; but it is believed that she left Shields with more than 1,110 tons. Mr. LEFEVRE said in consequence of the communication, he had received from the hon. gentlemen he had ordered an inquiry to be made. DEPTFORD DOCKYARD, Sir JoMN HAY asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether the Mr. Austin whom he had stated to have pur• chased a portion of Deptford Dockyard for £1,500 was the same Mr. Austin whose name appears as security for the contractor for the extension works at Chatham dockyard ; and, whether the purchase money has been paid, and if he could state to what industrial purposes Deptford yard has been applied by Mr. Austin to afford employment at Deptford. Mr. CErtmEns said he could not see the precise object of the question, but he might say that Mr. Austin was the same person who had been accepted as surety for another person four years ago. The purchase-money had not been paid, but the'ag,reementhad. been signed, but not the final contract. He did not think he should be justified in asking to what purpose the property had been turned. FACTORIES. Mr• BAINES asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether he had received a memorial from the Associated Chambers of Commerce, requesting him to collect and print, for the information of Parliament and the country, returns of factories and workshops, with the numbers and classes of workmen and children employed, the principal machines, &c., more full and complete than those heretofore made to this house, and to cause them to be printed yearly instead of occasionally as heretofore, And whether it was his intention to comply with the request of the memorialists. Mr. BRUCE said he had received the memorial, and in tended to comply with its request. The information that would be obtained would be printed. FREE LIBRARIES. Mr. BAINES asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when the return of free libraries established under Act of Parliament, for which an address was vote) by this House during the last Session, may be expected to be printed and circulated among the members. Mr. BRUCE said the paper was laid on the table last Thursday, and would be distributed in the usual course. HABITUAL CRIMINALS. Mr. HUNT asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether the police authorities of any district had any means of ascertaining the number of persons in their district who were sub• j ect to supervision under the provisions of " The Habitual Criminals Act, 1869," or of identifying such persons; and if not, whether it was his intention to provide some remedy for this omission in the Act. Mr. BRUCE said a form of return was issued to the police containing a full description of the persons discharged from prison ; but as there were certain omissions in the Habitual Criminals Act, these could be remedied when the amendment of the bill was under consideration. THE BUDGET. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER then rose to make his financial statement, at a quarter to six. The right hon . gentleman, at the commencement of his remarks, stated that the amount of the revenue for the year 1869-70 was £72,850,000. (LEFT SPEARING.)

This week being Passion Week, there will be no racing, but in Easter week business will be resumed at New market with the Craven Meeting. Bell's Life says that none of the sires was " great" last week, as the winners were divided amongst a great num ber of them. Tim Whiffler deserves the place of honour, since his Midsummer won the North amptonshire at a wei g ht that has never yet been carried victoriously by a moderate horse over that severs course. Hermione's stud career is as yet only in its infancy. She began by foaling M`Leod to Lord of the Isles, and followed him up with Midsummer. In '.33 she had an own brother to the latter, and was again put to Tim Whiffler, but as yet nothing is known respect ing the character of the produce. Atherstone's name does not come under notice very frequently, a circumstance that is to be _ wondered at, for - he was au undeniably good horse, with sweet action, and his pedigree will bear the closest inspection. Bosworth will bring him prominently bAore the notice of breeders again, for it is an almost un paralleled thing for a horse to win the Earl Spencer's Plate—a most coveted race—two years in succession, and each time in a canter. Wild Dayrell claims a good colt in Idus, the conquerer of Miss Dayrell for the St. Liz. He is a son of Freight, a mare with an old-fashioned and unusual pedigree, she being a daughter of John o' Gaunt and Commerce, by Liverpool out of Cardinal Cape, by Sultan. The Sporting Life says :—" Alec Taylor's stable has thus far displayed excellent form with Claudius and Bos worth, and the Fyfield trainer is likely to have something destined to see a short price for both the Two Thou sand and the Derby. Bridgwater was one of the best animals they ever trained in that district, had the brother to St. Albans kept sound and well, and it will be a great pity if a colt of such symmetery, breeding, and promise should be prevented from entering the lists on the Derby Day. Like his two illustrious brothers, he seems to be affected with chronic lameness. The field for the Guineas threatens to be of a very limited description, and not more than the subjoined can be expected at the post : HORSE. SrnE. DAM. JOCKEY. 1 Kingcraft ....

The Pall Mall Gazette understands that Colonel Adye, R.A., who has been appointed to the charge of the com bined Store Division of Control and the Department of Director-General of Ordnance, vacant by the retirement of General Lefroy, will be designated " Director of Artillery and Stores," and will receive the rank of Brigadier General." Sir William Power is, we believe, to be at the head of the other De partment of Control, with the title of " Director of 'Transport and Supply.' Both departments will be under the command of the Clerk of the Ordnance or Controller in Chief. General Collingwood Dickson, V.C., R.A., will be Inspector General of Artillery—an appointment which can hardly fail to meet with general approval. General Gambier is likely to continue for the present at the Horse Guards as Deputy Adjutant General of the Royal Artillery—or, as we suppose he will be called, Chief of the Artillery Staff." Thomas D. Uarr was executed in the county gaol at St. Clairsville, Ohio, on March 24, for the murder of Louisa C. Fox, near St. Clairsville, in January 1869. Carr acknowledges having perpetrated fourteen cold• blooded murders, and made five unsuccessful attempts to take life before the killing of Miss Fox. A. NEW SrN.—At a temperance meeting in Buf falo, a few nights ago, a lady declared it her firm belief that it was a grave sin for parents to allow their young children to use condiments, and inveighed against the long category of sin and crime which may be traced back to the immoderate use of mustard.—Ncw York Times, March 23.

He purchased the carcase of a cow that had died of inflammation of the lungs from a neighbouring farmer, who cautioned him only to sell it for dog's meat. However, he sent two pieces of the meat to London for sale. The defendant, who had been previou s ly conv i c t e d o f a similar offence, was sentenced to three months imprisonment with hard labour, without the option of a fine. WHAT ARE SAUSAGES MADE Or ?—A sausage maker at Kilburn has been sentenced to pay a fine of £lO, and £3lss. costs, for having on his premises a quantity of putrid meat, intended for sausage making. THE CONSPIRACY TO DEFRAUD AT LEEDS.—The charge against James Warburton for conspiring, with his brother Joseph and another person, to defraud Mr. S. C. Lister of nearly £15,000, has Been further investigated before Mr. Bruce, the Leeds stipendiary, and after a long inquiry, the prisoner was committed for trial at the next assizes. He was admitted to bail. A SELF-ACCUSATION.—A man named Oxley has been charged at Worship-street with setting fire to his ,own dwelling-house, persons being therein at the time. He charged himself with the offence, but when brought before the magistrate, declared. The fire was an accident, and his confession was false- He had been drinking hard, and had had a few w'rds at home. TheTrigoner was reumuded.
