The sum of £434,331 13s. 4d. • represents at the exchange of Fs. 25 20c. per pound sterling, the equivalent of eleven years of the __ _ _ above Annuity from tile 1 , 13 November, 1869. Bearing 7 per cent. interest, payable in London half-yearly, on the Ist April and l a st October of each year.

Principal and Interest payable in London, at Messrs. C. Devaux and Co.'s, 62, King William-street, City. The Certificates, to be redeemed each half-year, are to be drawn by lot, in January and July of each year, in London, in the presence of a Notary Public, and one or more of the Trus tees (hereafter named), or their nominee. The numbers of the Certificates drawn will be advertised in two London newspapers. The first drawing is to take place in July, 1870.

The two quarterly instalments of 1-13 February and 1-13 May, 1870, required for this purpose, are in hand.

The hypothecation of the Revenues of the Salt Mines of the United Roumanian Principalities. _ The Revenue of the Salt Mines was Fs. 5,462,962 96c. as per Budget of 1868. The number of bridges specified by the Convention is nineteen. The Government has since, with the consent of the Concession naires, altered the lengsh and design of certain bridges, and increased the number to twenty-two. Of these, nineteen have been already opened for traffic, and the others are being pro ceeded with by Messrs. Brassey and Co. under contract with the Trustees. The term fixed for the completion of certain of the bridges having been exceeded under a previous contract, Messrs. Brassey and Co. have agreed to pay any penalty for this delay which the Government may be entitled to under the Convention. Subject to the provisions of the Convention and Cahier des Charges, the Concessionnaires are bound to do all' that may be necessary to maintain and keep in repair and open for traffic each bridge for ten years from the date of such bridge being tested and taken to by the Government. To provide for dig obligation during the remainder of the term, the Concessionaires will deposit eight hundred paid-up Certificates in the hands of the Trustees: Upon such deposit being made, any personal liability of the Concessionnaires for the performance of this obligation is to be deemed to be at an end. The Roumanian Iron Bridges Maintenance Company, Limited, have entered into a contract with the Trustees to maintain and keep in repair and open for traffic the said twenty-two Bridges, in accordance with the requirements of the Cahier des Charges. Under this Contract 600 of the Certificates to be retained by the Trustees are to be applied, with the interest thereon, com mencing on the Ist April, 1871, in payment to the Company of £4,000 half-yearly, and the remaining 200 Certificates are to be retained, with interest, from the same date, by way of guarantee for the due completion of the Contract. All these 800 Certificates will be included in the half-yearly drawings. The Concessiounnaires have authorised the Bank of Roumania to receive the said Annuity from the Roumanian Government, which the Bank has engaged to remit, when received, by drafts at three months' date at the exchange of 25fr. 20c. per pound sterling, to Messrs. C. Devaux and Co. for i account of the Trustees. A Trust Deed has been executed, dated the 6th June 1870, by which Messrs.

DEVAUX AND CO. ar e authorised to offer for public subscription the above Certifi cates at the price of £B6 for each Certificate of £l6O, payable by instalments as follows ; £5 on application ; £lO on allotment ; making £l5 for which Scrip will be given, £l5 on 15th July 1870 £l5 „ Ist August „ £2O „ Ist September„ £2l „ Ist October „ from which £3 Bs. 10d. (the amount of the October Interest Coupon, less income tax) will be deducted. £B6 On payment of each of these instalments, a receipt will be given on,the Scrip. Each Scrip will bear a number corresponding with the number of the Certificate for which it will be ultimately exchanged. After payment ,of the last instalment, the Scrip will be ex changed for fully paid-up Certificates, with Coupons attached. In default of due payment of the respective instalments, all previous payments will be liable to forfeiture. The instalments may be paid in advance under discount at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, and in such case £3 Bs. 10d. (the amount of the October Interest Coupon, less income tax), will be taken in par t payment. _ _ Taking into account the dates of payment of the instalments and the operation of the Sinking Fund, the average rate of interest exceeds 101 per eent, per annum. Should the nnniber of Certificates allotted be less than that applied for, the surplus of the amount paid on application will be applied towards the payment due on allotment, and any remaining balance will be returned forthwith. In the event of no allotment being made, the deposit will be at once returned in full. The Convention and Cahier des Charges and Trust Deed have been deposited at the Bank of England.

SKETCHES IN PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS, FRIDAY. The Whitsun hodidays came to an end, so far as the Government were concerned, at four o'clock yesterday after noon, but certainly not so far as regards a large number of M.P.'s. Rumour said that the Ministry intended to resist Mr.. Crawford's motion, and that Mr. Glyn had been using his whip in order to bring up unwilling Minis terialists from the country. If rumour was true the crack of Mr. Glen's whip could not have been suffi ciently loud, for the house was very thin when Mr. Crawford began to speak. This took place early, shortly after Lord Mahon had taken his seat, for the catechising was short. At that time the benches below the right hand gangway which have hitherto been more crowded throughout the session than any other part of the House except the Treasury bench, were almost empty. Before the recess they were filled night after night by gentlemen who spoke with the richest of brogue, and with that little party of Secularists who believe that they are the England of the future, and that it rests with them to say how the kingdom is to be educated. Last night the Secularists had the block of benches pretty nearly to themselves. The Irish members, wearied out by their labours in helping or hindering the Land Bill, denouncing with only half a heart the Coercion Bill, and opposing with might and main until three in the morning Mr. Newdegate's admission into nunneries, were all away: Sturdy Sir John Gray, long-leggy, laud« voiced Mr. Synan, aristocratic-looking Mr. Maguire, plebeian-looking Mr. M`Carthy Downing, natty Mr. Bryan, and all the rest of the Hibernians who used to sit knee to knee, except (which was very often) when they were standing to orate—all these were absent, taking a well-earned holiday in the groves of Blarney or on the shores of Killarney. Per contra Mr. Disraeli was back in his place, blithe as though there were no Blackwood ; debonnair as though there were no " wild man" —smiling, in fact, in spite of the Anglo-American Pro fessor'g blow, just as Tom Sayers smiled after the blow of the Hiberno-American pugilist.. The Treasury bench was marvellously thin. Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Lowe were for some time the only. occupants. To them came from time to time Mr. Glyn, bearing news from the lobbies, and I fancy not altogether encouraging news, for the two chiefs of the Treasury talked vigorously together, seemingly unmindful of the speeches that were being made all around them, yet doubtless fully alive to the fact that a little revolt was going on, and that it would be dangerous to try too far the allegiance even of those who had not joined the movement. Mr. Crawford, the member for the City, was the ring leader. A weighty man is he in every sense of the word, and one whose remonstrances are not to be treated with contempt. He delivered a half-hour's speech, business like enough, but dry for the most part. Once or twice he made a good point, as when dwelling on the fact that the refiners had paid the duty on their sugar in, advance, he said that their case deserved the special consideration of a Chancellor who was living upon taxes paid in advance. It was significant of the small love that Mr. Lowe inspires among the Liberals that one member after another, who_ opposed the Budget proposal at issue, rose from the Liberal benches. Mr. Crawford, for instance, sat on the row immediately behind the Treasury bench. He was followed by Mr. Rathbone, the minority Liberal member for Liverpool ; and Mr. Rathbone by two of the members for Glasgow. Alderman Lusk attempted to defend the Chancellor ; but he was effectu ally put down by Mr. Samuel Morley, who in behalf of his constituents, the sugar men of Bristol, said amid general cheering that it was a pity that a budget which had been received with general satisfaction by the nation should inflict hardship on any class. He was followed on the same side by Mr. Magniac, M.P. for St. Ives, who spoke fluently and with an evident acquaint ance with his subject, and by Mr. Grieve, of Greenock, who, like the members for Glasgow, spoke in behalf of the Clyde sugar maret. All these were Ministerialists. Mr. Graves was the first Oppositionist, and he spoke with vehemence and even eloquence, so far as was possible with such a theme. Then there were loud cries of "Lowe !" and after a little coyness on his part, he got up and made a half-hour speech. He pointed out a. technical objection to Mr. Crawford's resolution at the outset, and then proceeded to deal with the points raised by the various representa tives of the saccharine interest. I am not going to reproduce his speech for it was dry and sleep-compelling ; but, so far al I could understand it in the intervals of successive nods it seemed that the Chancellor, having had an unfavourable report from Mr. Glyn, was really conceding nearly all that Mr. Crawford and his sugary friends wished. But he was very severe, and spoke with Spartan rigidity and sternness about the grievous financial immorality of confounding refiners and dealers, and treating the second on the same principle as the first. _ When the Chancellor sat down, up rose that vir pietate gravis, Mr. Thomas Baring, who though M.P. for the tiny borough of Huntingdon, really represents the City, and has all the influence in the House that he could have if he. had been sent there by the votes of ten thousand elec tors. Mr. Baring was eloquently severe against the Chancellor, and talked much about the sin of treating classes unequally. It was nonsense for Mr. Lowe to say, as he had said, that hon. members wished him to tell all the world before-hand what fiscal changes he pro posed to make. They did not want to be in his confidence, but they did want to have confidence in him and in every financial Minister—confidence that whatever changes were made, justice would be done. There was great cheering as the great man spoke. He was followed by Mr. Stephen Cave, who has a personal interest in sugar, I beheve, and who was the only member of the late Government to take part in the debate. When Mr. Macfie got up, the House began to get impatient, and to call for a division, for it was close upon seven o'clock. But the end was not yet. There were Mr. Crosse, and Mr. Orr-Ewing, and others to be heard, and just about seven o'clock Mr. Gladstone rose. He, like his colleague, was great, grand indeed, upon the necessity of maintaining the distinction between the dealer and the refiner, a distinction which itself seemed very much like over-refining ; especially as the cloud of words which followed was evidently intended to conceal the Ministerial retreat. Mr. Crawford's resolu tions were three in number. Two of them Mr. Gladstone yielded absolutely, the third par tially, but these in language that reminded one of Falstaff's " not upon compulsion, Hal ;" he yielded it, with a reservation as regarded his principles— that is to say he could not in theory treat the dealers in the same way as the refiners ; but he would con sider each individual case, even among the dealers, upon its own merits. Mr. Bouverie then interposed, and advised Mr:Crawford to rest satisfied with what the Chancellor and the I'remierhad said ; when, amid cries of " Crawford," the member for the City rose, and expressed his willingness to witljdraw his resolutions if—and then followed an attempt to explain Mr. Gladstone's explanations, which no one could understand. As the rules of the House forbade Mr. Lowe and Mr. Gladstone to speak again, Mr. Cardwell, who', as the very impersonation of sweetness, should have been especially qualified to speak on the subject, was put up by his colleagues. He clearly did not understand the subject, and had to be prompted by Mr. Gladstone. But the end of it was that Mr. Samuel Morley, who repre sented the dealers, graciously nodded his satisfaction, and Mr.; Crawford withdrew his resolutions, and members passed out of the House to a half-past seven o'clock dinner. The sitting lasted for six hours after this. Several notable incidents occurred. The most unusual was a speech from the gentleman, who on the discus a non Nand° principle, is called the Speaker. The House was in committee, was under the presidency of Mr. Dodson, that' is, therefore, Mr. Denison had the full right to speak ; not but what he has a legal right to speak on all occasions for or against a measure, but etiquette forbids. On this occasion he came forward, arrayed in full canonicals, to the front table, and amid the cheers of the House spoke in favour of Mr. Gregory's proposal to exempt farmers' horses from the 'duty which Mr. Lowe proposed to levy on them in casetthey were employed to draw materials for repairing the highways. Mr. Gregory, I should state, belongs to the eminent legal firm of Gregory and Rowcliffe, and he has taken a certain standing in the House during the session and a half he has been a member of it. In fact, he is a very welcome recruit to the country party. On this occasion he led them to victory. After the sugar discussion had been got rid of, mem bers no longer thought it neeessary to remain in the House, and a large number of them left. The conse quence was that, when Mr. Gregory's motion was put, less than 100 members took part in the division, and Mr. Glyn and his supporters had the mortification of finding themselves •hi a minority of 4 ; the Speaker both speaking and voting against them. This was the first Ministerial defeat of the session and was received with as much cheering and laughter as fifty Oppositionists could raise. Mr. Gladstone did not likethis, and he assumed almost a menacing tone when he said that Government must reconsider their position with regard to this duty. The Opposition were not frightened by the menace, but laughed again. We are not going to have a, Ministerial crisis just yet. There is no need to bring the Queen back from Scotland, as happened this time four years. This was incident No. 2. Incident No. 3 was a speech from Mr. Disraeli, as if to disprove the very ominous rumours which have been spread during the last few hours that he is dying of the disease which killed Cardinal Wiseman. No. 4 was a burst of wrath from two members of the House militant—Colonel North and bald-headed Colonel Stuart Knox—who were very angry with the bearded Mr. Ander son because he wished to reduce the pay of staff officers. Colonel North accused the member for Glasgow of the London—W. TWEEDIE, 337. Strand. QTRUGGLES OF A VILLAGE LAD, THE. ► Spewing that nothing is difficult when you try.

Giving a full description of the perfect insect. from nature ; also a description of the Caterpillar, Chrysalis, Food Plant, Time of Appearance, and Localities where found. Each moth is drawn from nature by George 'Willis, and engraved in his best , style by John Kerchner. The figures are life-size of every species ; and if varieties require it, three, four, five, and even six figures are given. The work is complete in thirty-one monthly numbers, at 6d. each. The work is also'issued in quarterly parts, in covers, at Is. 6d. each part. Fart X. now ready, price 2s, Back numbers reprinted, and may be had. "We congratulate British entomologists on the completion and publication of this magnificent work."—Field. Both to the beginner and the proficient in that study thi s wor k will be invaluable."—Daily Telegraph. " It is illustrated with life-size figures from nature of each species, and of the more striking varieties, and it possesses great advantages over all similar works, inasmuch as the caterpillar of each moth, with his habits and season, is described. This, to collectors, will be an immense boon, and by its means they will be enabled to obtain many rare specimens."—Standard. "The completion of Mr. Newman' work on the British Moths is a benefit to entomologists of all classes. It is at once a text-book by a high authority, most valuable for reference, and a handsome, taste fnlly got-up volume, which will be an ornament to any library or drawing-room table. It embodies the results of many years' earnest and intelligent work by one whose reputation as an ento mologist deservedly stands high. . . . We notice also with satisfaction that Mr. Newman's descriptions, whilst thoroughly scientific and minute, are given in plain and unaffected English. With the help of these and the very excellent woodcuts, even a• very young collector may with ease identify any moth he may cap ture. The figures are so well drawn that there is no need of colour to render them life-like. . . . . We unhesitatingly commend this volume to our readers. We regard it as very useful addition to our library." Land and Waler, Oct. 9. London—W. TWEEDIE. 337. Strand. W.O. PRICE. STAMPED, grossest ignorance. Colonel Knox called him jackal to the Government. Mr. Dodson did not interfere, and Mr. Anderson did not say thatle would sooner be a jackal than a jackass. Sir Henry Hoare's proposal to omit the vote of £8,900 for yeomanry cavalry led to a long and somewhat acrimonious debate, none the less vehement qr the absence of that doughty generalissimo of farmers, Sir Henry Edwards, unseated for bribery. Sir Henry Hoare got small support ; only the very advanced Radicals voted with him ; but, marvellous to relate, Mr. Anson (who for some reaso n or oth e r b a s dropped his military title,-though -well earned on the battle-field, as his Victoria Cross testifies), was Sir Henry's fellow-teller. This is not the line which this distinguished Adullamite usually takes, and lie must have felt rather funny when he saw the company that he had got into. SINGULAR JEWE LLERY ROBBERY Considerable uneasiness has during the past week or so been caused among -the officials -at the Carlisle Railway Station, by the mysterious disappearance of two boxes of jewellery in course of transit from Bir mingham to Mr. Fritschler, jeweller, Carlisle, per the London and North-Western Railway. One of the boxes contained two valuable gold watches, and the other fourteen gold rings. They came on different days, and all that could be ascertained concerning them was that they had arrived all right at Carlisle ; that the way bills reached the parcel office in due course ; and that the boxes must have been stolen in course of removal from the railway van to the parcels office. Three of the missing rings were found where the thief had indiscriminately thrown them, and a reward was offered by the police for information concerning the remainder. The officials were quite - at - a loss whom to suspect, and no clue as to the thief was obtained until a lad, about thirteen years of age, a message boy in the Station Telegraph Office, named Norval, confessed, on being interrogated, that he was the pilferer of both boxes. It appears that he had stolen the boxes containing the watches first, and that after abstract ing one watch had burned the box. He, however, per sists in saying that there was only one watch in the box, so the presumption is that he must have burned the other watch along with the box. He had broken the glass of the watch he appropriated ; had then taken it to a watchmaker and paid a shilling for having it regulated and a new glass put into it. Afterwards he hid it on the railway bridge at the end of the station. As to the rings, the young thief had appropriated one which fitted his finger, and then thrown the other thirteen away. Eleven of them are still unrecovered, as well as one gold watch. Other felonious acts have been traced to the boy, who has been at times sent from the station to the Central Post Office, with telegrams and the money to pay for them. Instead of taking the messages, he has destroyed them and ap propriated the money. He is now in the custody of the police.—North British Mail. OUTRAGES IN IRELAND. The Special Commission for the county of Meath was opened on Thursday, at Trim, by Chief Justice Monahan and Mr. Justice Fitzgerald. After the commission had been read, and a Grand Jury empanelled, Chief Justice Monahan delivered a brief charge. He expressed regret at the existence of the state of things which had rendered the attendance of the Grand Jury necessary at that un usual period of the year, but observed that it had always been not only the right but the duty of the Lord-Lieu tenant to issue a Special Commission, and thus antici pate the ordinary assizes, wherever, from the nature of the offences committed, it seemed advisable that the per petrators should be brought to immediate justice. He re ferred to the observations which he made at the last assizes upon the number of serious offences committed in the county, and remarked that since then no murder had been committed, and so far it was a matter of congratulation ; but, on the other hand, considering the short interval which had since elapsed, he regretted to be obliged to say that the county still continued in a very unsatisfactory state. He found from the report of the constabularly that in that interval there had been as many as seven malicious burnings, three cases of robbery of arms, five cases of attacking dwelling-houses and endeavouring by intimidation to force persons to act in a particular way, and there had been sixteen threatening letters. There had also been three cases of firing at persons with intent to murder or inflict some grievous bodily harm. In two of those cases no clue had been discovered to the perpe trators of the offence, but in the remaining one bills would be sent before them against the prisoners, Edward Gearty and John Brady, who were charged with firing at Mr. John Radcliffe, a gentleman of great respectability, a magistrate of the county, who always resided among them, and who during his long life had earned and main tained the good-will of all his acquaintances andneighbours, including those of the humbler classes. This character, how ever, was not sufficient to protect him from the very serious attem which was made on his life on the 25th of April last. His Lordship, having narrated the facts, which are familiar to the public, observed that the motive for the crime alleged on the part of the Crown was that Mr. Radcliffe was one of the magistrates who convicted and sentenced Gearty's brother for some offence, and that Gearty determined to have revenge. Hence the Lord- L'eutenant had issued the Special Commission in order that the guilt or the innocence of the accused might be ascertained with as little delay as possible. The grand jury, at the conclusion of the charge, retired, and in a short time returned into court with a true bill against the prisoners for attempting and conspiring to murder. The Attorney-General stated that no other bills would be sent up. The prisoners were then put forward and arraigned in the usual form. Brady is described as a young man, about twenty years of age and more youthful appearance, with rather well-formed features, but an ex pression of great determination. The other prisoner, who is a butcher, is a short, thick-set man, about ten or twelve years older. They pleaded not guilty, and their counsel applied for a postponement • but the Attorney- General opposed the application on the ground that ample notice had been given. Mr. Radcliffe deposed that he was returning about two o'clock from the workhouse of Kells, and was riding on a pony. When he came to a place called Ballintubber-lane he saw a man on the road before him, who, he thought, was waiting to speak to him. That man was the prisoner Brady, who seized his bridle, but said nothing. Another man, whom he identified as the second prisoner, Gearty, then stepped from the lane, and saying, " You are the man I want," fired a pistol at him. He knew him at the time perfectly. The pistol was a longish, old fashioned one, with brass mounting. His hat was pierced by the bullets. After the shot the two men ran up the lane, and he turned back at once to Kells, and gave information to the police. He saw the prisoners an hour afterwards in the police barrack yard, and recognised them immediately. In February last, James Gearty, brother of the prisoner, was convicted of having a stolen sheepskin in his possession and sentenced to three months' imprisonment. There was an appeal against the decision of the Bench, and the witness was called upon to say whether the law entitling Gearty to account for the posses sion of the skin had been explained to him. He replied that it had been explained, and the assistant barrister con firmed the sentence. He was cross-examined as to his cer tainty of identification, but positively adhered to his evi dence that he knew the two men perfectly, and could not be mistaken. A constable proved the arrest of the pri soners, and finding the pistol near Ballintubber-lane, and on the grass beside it a butcher's knife. A wit ness named Lawrence Smith, a butcher, deposed to a conversation with the prisoner Gearty, in which the latter complained of Mr. Radcliffe's decision, and said it would be well to blow the head off him. He was cross-examined with a view of showing that he had a quarrel with the prisoner. He said he was forced to tell what he knew to the police, who arrested him for being drunk. Thomas Keernan, another butcher, de posed that he had got a pistol from Gearty to keep for him, and that on the morning of the outrage the prisoner got it from him and sent a person to buy powder. He saw Gearty put a cap on it. When asked to whom he was going to give the pistol the prisoner said, "'You are not the man to know." The witness, on cross-examination, stated that he was advised by the clergy to tell the truth. Subsequently, a statement by Brady was read confessing the crime, and adding that he was engaged by Gearty to watch on the Kells-road, but that he did not know the purpose. Gearty held a pistol to his head and swore him as a son of " Rory of the Hills" to come. Geary com pelled him to catch the bridle of Mr. Radcliffe's horse while he fired the shot. No witnesses were called for the prisoners. The jury, after deliberating half an hour, found both prisoners guilty of shooting with intent to murder. Gearty was sentenced to penal servitude for life and Brady to ten years. FRANCE AND ROME. The French papers publish the following communica tion from Rome :—" The statement is perfectly correct that a despatch has been sent by M. Emile• 011ivier, ad interim Minister of Foreign Affairs, to the Marquis de Bonneville, French Ambassador to the Pope, but the contents of it have been inexactly given by the Augsburg Gazette. The document is dated at the beginning of May, and is not at all in opposition with the views previously expressed by Count Daru ; it refers to the efforts made by the preceding Minister to prevent difficulties arising, and expressing the profound regret that the attempt had not been successful. It goes on to state that henceforth all controversy must be considered as closed, and that the representative of France has no further step to take with regard to the Pontifical Govern ment. Contrary to what has been announced, M. 011i vier's despatch contains nothing about the separation of Church and State, nor as to the recall of the troops from Rome. Since receiving those instructions the Marquis has not made any communication to the Court of the Vatican ; but in his conversations with the French prelates he has not concealed the fact that if, as representing a Government which has no State religion, he abstains from all intervention in the affairs of the Council, he is perfectly convinced that the bishops should make every exertion to defend the ideas which respond to those of their Government, so as not to allow themselves to be absorbed by the majority and to ensure, as far as lies in their power, the triumph of their opinion, by obtaining some modifications in the details of the " Schema." The fact is believed here that the Duke de Gramont, since his appointment to office, has also Sent certain instructions to the.Morquis."
