ONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS, CITY, Two o'CLocx. There is an active demand for discount accommo dation, but it is readily supplied by the banks and discount firms who have ample means at their disposal, and the arrangements for to-morrow, the 4th of the month, are not attended by the slightest degree of pressure or stringency. In many instances Provision has been made for some days past, and the a PPlicatiens at the last moment are proportionately reduced, but there is still a large supply of bills Which are negotiated on terms ranging from 6i per Cent. and upwards, according to quality and the Period they have to run. large amount of Australian gold—viz., about Cl4o,oo o—was sent into the Bank of England Yesterday. • The Forei gn E xc h anges yesterday afternoon ex hibited a slight decline in the rates on Paris and H amburg ; those on Vienna and Trieste, however, Were rather higher. Gold is now about 6 -10ths per cent. dearer in 4 ondou than in Paris, and 8 -10ths per cent. higher th an in Hamburg. The Oneida has arrived at Lisbon from the Brazils, with £24,636 in specie. The steamer Ceylon, which leaves to-morrow for India, China, &c., will take out £77,167 in silver and £14,449 in gold. Increased dullness was exhibited in the Liver- Pool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices tended Il Wnwards. The sales were about 5,000 bales. The advices from the manufacturing districts re- Port continued inactivity in most departments of trade, and a recovery is scarcely anticipated until 1 4 ° 1 1ey becomes easier, and an improvement is exhi bited in foreign politics. At the annual meeting of the governor and cora- Dany of copper miners in England, the balance aheet presented showed a balance against the cora- Pally of £1,490 15s. 9d. Some discussion ensued, 4 0 . 1 n which it appears that great hopes are enter ttned that at a future period the undertaking will leas, remunerative, although now working at a e as, in consequence of the depressed price of metals. Decreased depression has prevailed in the market for Public Securities to-day, Consols having .r eceded to 911 -1- for money, to 91-1 for the 18th 1110 ., and to 911 4 1 for May. The principle cause cfthis decline is the apprehension felt with regard t ° continental affairs, especially in reference to Austria and Italy. The speculators have been e ncouraged to effect sales on this account, notwith- L e ttuding the influx of gold into the Bank of Eng 'end, and the improved prospects of the money market. India Stock has receded to 220, ditto 5 per Cent. to 99 0 100; ditto 51 per Cent. Rupee raper has improved to 100 t, but Exchequer Bills are 12s. to 7s. dis. Business in the Foreign Market has been mode l'itely active, but prices show a downward tendency. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 734 to 74 ; ditto, 1858, 63 1 54. Mexican have receded to 24k 1 ; Sardinian to 82, and Spanish to ; Dutch 21 per Cent. are S=tn at 631 64, Brazilian 5 per Cents. have declined to 981 ex div. Considerable heaviness has prevailed in the Rail ly Share Market, and a further decline of about to per cent. has taken place in the value of 41 08 t of the principal British undertakings. Cale donians, Great Westerns, Lancashire and York shire, North Westerns, Midlands, and South Attaterns have receded 55.; North British, 10s.; 4t icl North Eastern Berwick, 15s. In the Foreign Market scarcely any business has °l en transacted, and prices are nominally a shade fitter. L i rhe Colonial Lines are also depressed, East 4 :dian having declined to 98 1 99 , and Great Indian eninsula to 941 95. For J o int Stock Banks and Miscellaneous shares th ere have been a moderate inquiry , and quotations have slightly improved, London and Westminster ,ng dealt in at 651 ; Oriental Bank at 481 49 ; 'Jnon of London, however, have declined to 231; 2lnada Land steady at 114 to 1141; and London v eueral Omnibus Company at 1.

The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 84, 8 ' Bight is 1051 to 106 for first-class bills. Although this I nter the exchange to be against England, the high rate of 4 , 14 el i st In both countries, and the loss of time before the "übtfaireceived back from the Amerit'an Mints, render it aeli c p... if any profit can be made at the present rates by '"fi* gold to the United States.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. The court reopened to-day, and Mr. Commissioner Fon blanque was the sitting commissioner, but there were a few unimportant cases. IN RE BRIDGER. This bankrupt was described as of Hazlemere, Surrey, and Siphook, Hants, coal merchant, and came up for his certificate. The accounts, by Mr. O. Butler, King-street, Cheapside, show debts to creditors, £1,988 ; assets, £1,221. There was no opposition. and the bankrupt was awarded a certificate of the second class. POLICE iNTBLLIG.ENCE.—( This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBERY AT A JEWELLER'S BY AN APPRENTICE. — Edward Maine, an apprentice to Mr. Baylis, jeweller, of 9, Upper Rupert-street, was charged before Mr. Mansfield with stealing three gold rings, a gold chain, &c., of the value of about £l5, and also the sum of £1 18s., from his master. The prisoner was taken into custody this morn ing at his lodgings, 3, Henry-street, Pentonville, by Ser geant Joy, 9 C, having absconded from his employ on Sun day, March 3. It appears that after absconding two duplicates relating to the property and two rings were sent back to the prose cutor by the prisoner, but not the money. He had not been seen again since the 3d of March by the prosecutor till he saw him in custody at Vine-street, notice having been given to the police. The prisoner during the time he has been in Mr. Baylis's employ has exhibited a very un satisfactory feeling, so much so that he had on one occasion been brought before the magistrate at this court. Some evidence having been given, Sergeant Joy asked for a remand, as the pawnbrokers with whom some of the property had been pledged were not in attendance. Mr. Mansfield remanded the prisoner. THAMES. JUVANILE DELINQUENCY.—Three boys named bolm Wesley, Alfred Stite, and Edward Holds worth, the youngest 11, the eldest 15 years of age, were brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with stealing two sovereigns, and 20s. worth of silver, the monies of John Wesley, the elder, a fish salesman, of No. 2, York-street, Commercial-road, east. Tie prosecutor and his wife, a very industrious and thrifty couple, keep a small shop in York-street, and a stall at the Commercial-road end of the street. They have lately suffered a bereavement by the death of one of their children, which is not yet buried. On Wednesday morning last Mrs. Wesley missed two sovereigns from a drawer in her shop. She suspeoted her son John who had often plundered his parents at the instigation of Holds worth and Stite . On Good Friday they went into the country and spent 12s. 6d. of the stolen money in what Mrs. Wesley described as " donkey racing, horse racing, and cock shy ing. On Sunday morning Mrs. Wesley missed 20s. worth of silver, which she had reserved for the purpose of buying mourning. Last night the police were called to arrest the three boys, and they all confessed to the robbery—Wesley stole the gold on Wednesday, gave it to Starts to take care of until the - following day, and then invested a portion of the money in the purchase of a new suit of clothes for Holdsworth, who was previously in a very miserable con dition. It was proved that Sti to and Holdsworth had been in the practice of receiving wine, provis one, money, and other things from Wesley, and that they had instigated him to rob his parents. Mr. Woolrych sentenced Stite to two months' hard labour, and the others to fourteen days' imprisonment and three years detention in a Reformatory School. FROM THE GAZETTE OF LAST NIGHT.

Eardley, Bart., president of the Evangelical Alliance, in reference to the proposed presentation to him of a copy of Baxter's Polyglot Bible by the Alliance, whose wish is also to dis tribute the New Testament among the soldiers of Italy. The following translation has been sent to a gentleman in Nottingham by one of the London secretaries :—' Ense et Calamo (By the sword and the pen), Caprera, Feb. 17, 1861. Sir,—l am very grateful for all that the Christians of Eng land have done for the welfare of man and the rights of nations. The Evangelical Alliance, over which you pre side, is a good work. I shall receive with pleasure, by post, the offer which you have made me of a Bible in many tongues, and I do not consent that a deputation of members of your society should put themselves to inconvenience for the purpose. The great majority of the people among us, if not Protestant in name, are very Protestant in fact, as is proved by the indifference—nay, even the contempt—with which they receive the anathemas of the Papacy, and the public ridicule which the miracles excite. Be persuaded, sir, that the Italian people are much less Popish than has been said. As for me, be good enough to believe me the irreconcileable enemy of hypocrisy and of all despotism,and at the same your affectionate a. GAaIBALDI, " TZE SWEARING IN OF THE NEW LORD IF.ARDEN. At a meeting of the Dover Town Council the other day, some discussion took place with reference to the swearing in of Lord Palmerston as Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports. The TOWN CLERK said that all Lord Wardens in former days used to be sworn somewhere in the neigh boarho od of Hythe, but for the l as t t wo or th ree cen turiesit had been customary for those who were appointed to this office to be sworn in at a place bearing the euphonious title of " The Devil's Drop." That place was where the Drop Redoubt now stands on the summit of the Western Heights, and there was once on the spot an old Roman pharos similar to that which now occupies a pro minent position within the precincts of the castle. It seemed to have fallen into a state of dilapida tion. He had in his possession a plate of the Devil's Drop in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, showing what was its condition in those days; and he had been credibly informed that, when the Drop Redoubt was in course of construc tion, the labourers, not knowing what to do with this mass of concrete materials, buried it in some of the embankments which were then being formed. Probably some members of the council might have seen the picture or plate of the pro cession that was formed when the Duke of Dorset was sworn in in 1780, or thereabouts. The painting hung up in the large hall at the then Duke of Dorset's mansion of "mole, near Sevenoaks. The artist had portrayed the proces sion in the act of going up Castle-hill, after the duke had been sworn in, and a very imposing cavalcade, and a great deal of fuss and show, were circumstances indicating that the event was then regarded as one of great importance. Perhaps the council would feel it expedient to revive the old custom. They might not feel it necessary that they should appear in scarlet robes and cocked hats —(laughter)--(The Mayor—And mounted) but they might deem it desirable to take advantage of the present opportunity to invite the general so-operation of the Cinque Ports, with the view of giving an air of solemnity to the inauguration ceremony. Alderman ASTLEY—Do you recollect where the Duke of Wellington's appointment as Lord Warden was inaugurated ? The TowN CLERK—I am not quite certain; but I have an idea that it was at the Admiralty. Alderman AsTLEv—lt is clear Lord Dalhousie was not appointed at the Devil's Drop. (Laughter.) Mr. TERRY said the Dover Harbour Commis sioners would hold a meeting at Dover in the course of a month, and that it was expected Lord Palmerston would be there to take part in the busi ness. (A laugh.) If so, he thought that would be a very favourable occasion for celebrating his lord ship's appointment. THE SHIP JUNIATA. Yesterday the Board of Trade received from the receiver of wreck the sworn deposition of the only surviving officer, Mr. Louis Scott, of the unfortunate ship Juniata, 834 tons, which was in collision with the American ship Joseph Fish, on the morning of the 15th ult., in the St. George's Channel, and im mediately foundered, her captain, chief officer, and ten of her crew meeting with a watery grave. Mr. Scott's statement is as follows :—" The Juniata sailed from Liverpool to Baltimore on the 13th ult., with a crew of 24 hands, and one passenger; her cargo consisting of salt and iron. All went on well until the 15th, at midnight, a heavy squall came on from the N.W., the Tusker light bearing about 12 miles. The watch was under his charge, and it was ordered to stand by the fore and main halliards. At that time he observed a ship's red light on the lee beam, and he called out to the man at the wheel to keep the ship close. Captain Wilson, the master, who was on deck, asked him what the light was on the lee bow, for there were two. He replied that the light on the beam was a ship's light, and the other was the Tuskar. Captain Wilson then asked,:" Will the ship go clear ?" He replied she would by keeping her close. Captain Wilson then jumped up into the lee rigging and immediately cried out, " She will not go clear," and ordered the helm to be put hard up. The Juniata paid off about three points, when the strange ship, which proved to be the American ship Joseph Fish, 900 tons, Capt. Young, also outward bound, from Liverpool for Key West, came stem on to the Juniata, striking her between the cathead and the fore rigging, and in less than three minutes afterwards she went down. Capt. Wilson ordered all hands to clear away the boats, which was done. He and 11 of the crew got into one boat, and the chief officer and 11 hands into the other. Captain Wilson never left his ship, He was left alone on board, and frequently hailed the Joseph Fish to heave to, and to send assistance. She did heave to after some time, but sent no boats. When he got alongside the Joseph Fish the Juniata had disappeared, as also the other boat. When he got on board the Joseph Fish he begged the master to render assistance, but he at first refused, but afterwards sent two of his men into the boat alongside. They did not, however, suc ceed in rescuing any of his unhappy comrades." THE CONSCIENCE OF A CHIMNEY STEEP. At the vestry meeting at St. Paul's, Knights bridge, held yesterday, for the election of church wardens, Groves, a chimney sweep, claimed the right to speak ; he said he had resided for 30 years within the parish, and had had the privilege of hearing the Rev. Mr. Ashdall, a kind and consi derate man, preach the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. When the late Bishop of London conse crated St. Bnrnabas church he went down to see it, thinking it was to he done upon Protestant prin ciples—(hear, hear) —but the ceremony was one with which he did not et all hold. Standing by his Protestant prineiples he had accordingly left the church—(cheers) —but Mr. Trower, of Victoria street, a barrister-at-law they called him, came down to him and sought to show him that he was in error. I said, he continued, show me where I am in error.' He said, Have you a Prayer-book ?' and I said Yes.' He then took my Prayer-book and I took his—(laughter)—but on looking over it I found his had not the Articles. Look here,' said I, yours has not got the Articles.' Oh,' says he, mine is the Oxferd edition.' Then,' said I, ' mine is the Cambridge.' (Loud laughter.) If,' said I, you are a Protestant, there can be no difference between us, for I am a Protestant •, but if you show me I am in error I will acknowledge my fault. What more could any man do ?' (Great laughter.) ' Are you back in your rent, Groves ?' said he. Yes,' said I, am I owe £lo.' He then said, 'lf you wish to hold with us we will pay your rent for you.' Do you see that shelf ?' said I; ' I would sooner nail up a penny loaf there and nibble it off bit by bit than sell my conscience.' (Loud cheers.) Oh,' said he then, I take my church from tradition.' Do you ?' said I ; then it is you who are in error, and not I.' After that the great God who is above took me to Mr. Westerton, and in him I found a father and a friend. I have nine in family to feed with this one pair of hands, but Mr. Westerton came down with me and paid my rent for me, as a man—(hear, hear, and laughter)—and I now come forward to help him for the benefit of the Protestant Church of England. (Hear.) THE NEW LORD LIEUTENANT OF CARMARTHEN SHIXE.—The lord lieutenantcy of Carmarthenshire, which has been vacant since the death of the Earl of Cawdor, in the middle of November last, has at length been conferred upon his son and successor. The Earl of Cawdor, heretofore known as Viscount Emlyn, was born June 11,'1817, was educated at Eton School, and graduated at Christ Church, Oxford, 8.A., 1838, M.A., 1840. He was for some time precis writer to the Earl of Aberdeen, Secretary for Foreign Affairs under Sir R. Peel's Government. ODD FELLOWSHIP.—Last night the sixteenth anniversary dinner of the Loyal Belgrave Lodge (No. 3965) of Odd Fellows was celebrated at St. James's Hall,—ll. B. Sheridan, Esq., M.P., in the chair. The usual loyal toasts were given and responded to with the utmost enthusiasm, and in proposing the toast of the evening, " Success to the Belgrave Lodge," the Chairman delivered a very excellent address on the benefits of the order. The health of the Chairman was proposed and received with great enthu siasm ; and in acknowledging the compliment, Mr. Sheridan remarked that he had seldom passed a more pleasant even ing than in presiding over the Belgravians at their six teenth anniversary. RAILWAYS IN ALGERIA.—The railway works commenced between Algiers and Blidah have been tempo. , rarily suspended. Tho company promoting the construction of railway lines in Algeria endeavoured to raise a capital •f £2,200,000 in 110,000 shares, the State guaranteeing an interest of 5 per cent. Having obtained this guarantee, the company proceeded to treat with Sir Moreton Peto for the eonstiuction of the lines comprised in the concession, Sir Morton engaging to take the shares not subscribed for. Of the 110,000 shares offered to the public it appears that only 45,000 have been taken, and the further inquiries made in duce the conclusion that the proposed capital of £2,200,000 will not be sufficient to meet the engagements undertaken by the company. Sir Morton Peto also denies that his pro mise to take up the unsubscribed-for shares could possibly apply to such a proportion as the 65,000 remaining dispos able. In this critical state of the company's affairs a con ference has been held, at which the Emperor Napoleon him self presided ; and it has been determined to submit to the Corps Logislatif a measure modifying and completing the conditions of the original concession. Some more ad van. tageous stipulations will be accorded to the company, who will, it is stated, be authorised to realise an issue of obliga tions guaranteed Ly the State. 409 111 '2Ol 204 I 61 63 112 117 87 90 51 51 - P If /f.l 1 12 13 2 r • 24 23 131 7 71 7; 19 20 87; 38; 8 0 34 37i 55 57 4} nd 5! 6 8 '4 11 11: 1; 1 d 20121 6 62 92 92 21 22 MEMOIRS OF THE MARQUIS DE POMPONNE. A letter from Paris says :—The memoirs of the Marquis de Pomponne, Minister of Foreign Affairs under Louis XIV., have been lately published in Paris. They were written by himself, and are given to the world from an unpublished manuscript in the library of the Legislative Corps. They are put in order and furnished with an introduction by M. J. Madival. The Marquis de Pomponne, a man of much ability, had successively filled the offices of Intendant of the Royal Armies at Naples and in Catalonia. He was Ambassador in Sweden and in Holland, and was Minister of Foreign Affairs from 1671 to 1679. He was driven into retirement by the influence of Colbert and Louvois, but was re instated in his post some years later, and retained it until hi 3 death in 1699. He was nephew of the celebrated Jansenist, Antoine Arnauld, and took a considerable part in the affairs of Rome. After the first audience which Portland had with Louis XIV. at Versailles, Pomponne was associated with Torcy in the difficult task of sounding the English Envoy on William's intentions respecting the Spanish succession. In looking over the volume one cannot help being struck by the analogy which appears between the principal questions treated in it and those which now occupy, and have for some time occupied, pub lic attention. For instance, we find Switzerland protesting in 1793 against the conquest of Franche Comte,effected by Spain during a winter of uncommon severity, and the Catholic cantons, not content with pro testing, but taking up arms in favour of Spain. The rapid successes of Louis XIV. disconcerted these hostile projects, and material opposition was silenced by commercial concessions. The conduct of the Helvetic Confederation was somewhat simi. lar during the recent annexation of Savoy. As Savoy is mentioned, I may observe that in 1860 the royal house of that name was com pletely bound over to the Court of Versailles, which commanded it on the two slopes of the Alps—on one side by Dauphine, and on the other' by Pignerol ; and the Dukes of Savoy acted as the vanguard of France, and watched from Turin the mane3uvres of Austria in Italy. On the Danube Louis XIV. openly supported the periodical insurrections of Hungary against the Emperor. His relations were frequent and close with the malcontents, and in 1677 he sent them a small army recruited in Poland, and commanded by a French general and French officers. These troops, mustering from 7,000 to 8,000 men, joined the insurgents, beat the imperialists, advanced their standards to the walls of Vienna, and effected a useful diversion during the invasion of the Low Countries. The diplomatic complications existing in our day in Europe are numerous. It may be that the Emperor Napoleon 111. seeks rather to diminish than to extend them ; it may be that his intentions are good, and that he has no wish to urge the Magyars to open revolt ; but it is impossible not to see that the old policy of France may be revived with a chance of success, and that in the event of a general conflagration in Europe that policy would have a formidable auxiliary in Hungary. Not for a day during his long wars did Louis XIV. lose sight of the Rhine, which he undertook to make the frontier of his States. He desired to solve in his favour the problem of natural frontiers, and to satisfy the traditional tendency of France to claim the inheritance of old Gaul. In his chapter on England the Marquis de Pomponne describes by what caresses, by what courtesies, and by what sacrifices the great King sought to lull the vigilance of England, which was the great, the only obstacle to his designs. Such a project may have slight analogy with what passes now, inasmuch as the creation of the kingdom of Belgium gives to France security for the northern frontier ; but this part of Pomponne's memoirs is not the less interesting. Finally, the chapter on Denmark relates the origin of the complicated and almost inexplicable question of the Dano-German duchies ; and those on Rome, Bavaria, Poland, &c., also possess much historical interest. How annexations used then to be brought about may be seen in the chapter on Mantua respecting th• Count Mathioli, whose romantic career excited so much curiosity in the 17th century. Mathioli, who expiated in the dungeons of Pignerol the crime of having outwitted Louis XIV., and who passed among his contemporaries for the Man with the Iron Mask, had been secretly conducted to Ver sailles and presented to Louis at midnight, in the corridor leading to the apartment of Madame de Montespan. Mathioli announced himself as autho rised by the Duke of Mantua to negotiate the cession of the fortress of.Casale, and a treaty to that effect was actually signed by the pretended envoy. The Duke, the moment he heard of the fact, promptly denounced Mathioli as an impostor. Louis XIV. persisted, however, in considering his mission as in due and proper form, and at once took possession of the fortress. The details of this singular adventure, which ended so unfortunately for the negotiator, are curious. THE ZOSsUTH NOTES CASE. Yesterday afternoon a small but influentially attended meeting was held in the Committee room of the Free Trade HAII, Manchester —Mr. George Wilson in the chair—for the purpose of co-operating with the gentlemen in London who are raising a subscription to defray M. Kossuth's expenses in the case of " The Emperor of Austria v. Kossuth," now in course of trial before the English Court of Chancery. The CHAIRMAN gave a history of the printing of the notes and the application for an injunction to the Court of Chancery, and said the object of the subscription was merely to hold M. Kossuth free from legal expenses in the trial. Nobody alleged that the case was anything but a civil one; there was nothing criminal in it; but then it must be remembered that the Austrian Govern ment was powerful, and might crush an individual if it had the chance. The commitee in London did not offer any opinion upon the case, but merely wished that Louis Kossuth might be able to stand upon the defensive, and that an expression of opi nion should be given in this country that Kossuth was not to be destroyed by the pecuniary power in the hands of the Austrian Government. (Hear, hear.) It was possible the action might be given up ; for if the Emperor of Austria had to disprove the affidavit of Kossuth, he would be compelled to prove his title to the empire of Hungary, which he (Mr. Wilson) believed he could not do. Mr. BAZLEY, M.P., proposed— " That this meeting highly approves of the proceedings taken by the Kossuth Defence Fund Committee in London, and hereby promises to co-operate with that body in their endeavour to secure a full and fair hearing of the case, without pre-judging the question between the parties concerned:' He was quite sure an appeal would not be made in vain to the citizens of Manchester whenever per sonal liberty was concerned. He believed that in the British Courts, justice would be done to Kos suth, and that he would be acquitted of any desire to put himself in a false position. Seeing the suc cess that Kossuth might anticipate, he would not blame him for pre-arranging matters which he knew would be a necessity if success rewarded his efforts. (Hear, hear.) Mr. R. N. PHILIPS seconded the motion, cordially agreeing with the remarks of the previous speakers. The motion was carried unanimously. . _ Councillor RIDER moved that a committee be formed to co-operate with the committee in London. Mr. W. T. BLACKLOCK seconded the motion ; and remarked that the question was not so much a political one, as one which interested every English man—the question of the liberty, not only of the subj.ict in this country, but of the stranger who might come amongst us. (Hear, hear.) He be lieved there was scarcely a man in Manchester who would not be desirous of seeing that justice was done to the man whose name had called them toge• ther. (Hear, hear.) The motio❑ was carried; and a vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the proceedings. THIS DAPS MARKETS. :I CORN EXCHANGE. The supply of English wheat on sale in to-day's market was very small, and without improvement in quality. Fine and dry parcels met a free sale at extreme rates, otherwise the trade ruled heavy at about Monday's currency. The show of foreign wheat was large, and the business doing was mostly in retail at full prices. Floating cargoes of grain were firm in value, although the demand for them was by no means active. Fine barley maintained its value, but all other kinds were dull in the extreme. . . Malt changed hands to a limited extent at late rates. The oat trade was heavy, and prices had a drooping ten. dency. Beans were in moderate request at full currencies. Peas, however, moved off slowly on f ormer terms. Flour met a fair sale at previous quotations. ARRIVALS THJS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

The city of Pisa was, it appears, the scene of a violent riot on the 24th ult. The fact that the Italian Evangelical community is there rapidly increasing on the one hand, and the intrigues of the priests ever since the arrest of Cardinal Corsi (the Archbishop of Pisa) on the other, have contributed to create a state of exasperation amongst the lower orders of the people, and this has been artfully turned to account by the grand-ducal andd, papal emissaries. The circumstances which gave rise to the disturbance are thus narrated iu the ilonitore Toscana On the morning of last Sunday, the 24th of March, a deplorable act of violence disturbed the public tranquillity in the city of Pisa. A certain Lorenzo Poggi, an artisan belonging to the suburb of Porta a Mare, was going in a carriage with a male child, born two days previously, to the church of the Evangelical Christians in order to have the child there baptised according to the rites of the Wal densian worship. No sooner was the carriage on the middle of the bridge of Porta a Mare than it was suddenly surrounded by a number of persons, and whilst some of them seized the reins of the horse, shouting "To the cath e d ra l! t o th e cathedral !" and ad dressed menaces to the father and the other persons who were with him, the carriage was violently driven in that direction. The baby was brought into the church of San John, and baptised accord ing to the rites of the Catholic Church. The mob collected on the square of the cathedral, then took the direction of the Waldensian church, where the Evangelical Christians are wont to as semble on their holy days, and evinced the intention of committing acts of violence. Various persons were assembled at the moment when the crowd burst upon them, and attempted to make their way into the church, of which the gate had been already closed and barricaded by those within. Then the church itself was visited by a shower of stones which broke the windows. The ordinary police force, though always ready and present where the tumult and the danger were at their height, did not suffice to stop these serious excesses. The inter vention of the National Guards, therefore, became necessary, and these were no sooner summoned than they hastened in great numbers to the scene of the disorder, displaying a zeal and an enthusiasm highly honourable to them. The words of the prefect, who, distinguished by the insignia of his office, hastened to the crowd, and the display of public force contributed efficaciously to disperse the mob of ill-advised persons, and to re-establish order and tranquillity. The police meanwhile are proceeding in their researches in order that justice may be fully exercised. While we deplore such blameworthy acts of intolerance and of violence, we are pleased to learn that the political authorities, the police force, and the Na tional Guards have vied with one another in zeal and in activity on this occasion, all, without dis tinction, performing their duty. TILE PROPOSED COMPROMISE WITEI THE WESTERN BANK DIREC2'OI?S. The public are generally aware already of the terms of the proposed compromise between the liquidators and the directors of the Western Bank. That proposal is, that on payment of the sum of £200,000, the shareholders will abandon their im pending prosecution, and the postponement of the action set down for trial this week is but one indi cation of the general expectation that this sugges tion of the liquidators will be approved by the shareholders. The latter have suffered enough already by the disaster which overtook them, and are becoming less and less disposed to sacrifice their own interests still further for the gratification of their natural feelings of resentment against the directors, or even for the sake of what many con sider to be the interests of public justice. The division of £200,000 among the solvent shareholders would yield about £l4 a share, which added to the £36 or so of assets yet expected to be realised and distributed, would make in round numbers a return of £5O upon each share. Taking the original value of the shares at £75, and the calls at £125, there is a loss of £2OO on each share, which would be reduced to £l5O, if the proposed compromise is entered into. Of course these figures may be somewhat altered when the question comes to be considered how far those who purchased shares immediately before the failure of the bank are entitled to a preference. But the above may be taken as an approximation to the general result of the proposed arrangement. The issue, we hope, may turn out to be even more favourable. The Messrs. Baird are not parties to the proposed arrangement; but though we do not speak by authority we believe it has been too hastily assumed that they are resolutely opposed to a compromise. The Messrs. Baird hold among them the large num ber of upwards of 1,500 shares, and if some amicable arrangement could be made by which these gentle men should also have a part in the compromise, it ought to enhance the satisfaction with which the prospect of a peaceful settlement of this harassing business is now generally regarded by the share holders, and the more moderate section of the com munity. It is for the shareholders themselves, however, to dete rm i ne w h ether even the compro mme already arrange d w i ll be agreed to, and a meeting is to be immediately convened' to consider the question in connection with a report which is to be drawn up by the liquidators.—F.dinburgh Daily Review.
