For example, the addition to the private securities is insig nificant, while there has been rather a large increase in the private deposits. The reserve, too, shows a considerable accession of means arising from deposits. It follows from these conditions that up to the date of the return the inquiry for money which has advanced the terms in Lombard-street has, so far, failed to make any impression upon the Bank, and that it is prema ture to look for a very early advance in the rate of discount. The bullion continues to decline, but the total di m i nut i on is less than the aggregate of the withdrawals during the week. The following are the principal changes since the previous return : Decrease in Circulation Increase in Public Deposits Increase in other Deposits . . No change in amount of (iovernment Securities. Increase in other Securities Decrease in Bullion Increase in Rest 5,351 Ir increase in Reserve - Bullion in bath Departments ... 20,527,100 Reserve o f N otes and Coin 11,587,080 Circulation, including Bank Post Dills 24,412,917 The following is the return of Paid Clearing for the Week endi ng W ednesday, April 22, as certified by i 4 r.

At Mark-lane the attendance to-day was rather small, and tho trade quiet but steady as to prices. English wheat quite as dear, although purchased sparingly. Holders of foreign wheat rather inclined to ask more than take loss, but in what is doing quotations cannot be altered. Flour moved off in retail at full rates for both English and foreign.

BOW-STREET. A STRANGE PASSION FOR JE WELLE RY. —J °lt n Webster, described as a labourer, a dirty, ragged, and emaciated creature, overrun with vermin, was brought up on remand charged with being found in a vault under the Adelphi arches, supposed for the purpose of committing a fe'ony. Police-constable Jamieson, 30 F, stated that on Friday morning last, about one o'clock, when on duty in plain clothes, he found the prisoner sleeping on a step inside the vault, and asked him what he was doing there ? 11, could give no satisfactory account of himself, and witness took him into cus tody. On searching him at the station-house witness found on him 11 duplicates of pawnbrok ers' tickets for various articles of jewellery pledged in different parts of London, and also a bank note of a penny savings bank at llackney, giving credit for deposits to the amount of 305., acid three invoices for jewellery (gold rings and car rings), purchased of jewellers at Clerkenwell. Witness made inquiries, and found that the prisoner was known to the police as a tramp, and to the workhouse officials as a frequent sojourner in the casual ward, but was not known to have been convicted for any criminal offence. lie seemed to have a strange passion for jewellery, pnrchasing any articles that took his fancy, giving a deposit, and afterwards paying the balance by instalments. On completing the payments and receiving the article he would immediately leave the shop and pledge it for less than he had paid for it. Mr. Vaughan said that it seemed rather suspi cious for a person with no visible means of living to have money to spend on such a hobby. It looked as if he bad not come by it honestly ; still as there was no proof of a dishonest act, he must be discharged. ,~--, MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A DISORDERLY LICENSED VICTUALLER.---Mr. W. Walker, licensed victualler, of No. 235, High street, Borough, was charged before Mr. Knox with being drunk and behaving in a disorderly manner in Piccadilly. Charles Patch, 138 AR, said that about half past one that morning he was in Piccadilly, and saw the defendant standing on the footboard of a Hansom cab and pulling the reins, there being a fare in the cab at the time. The defendant was calling " Police," and said he wanted protection, at the same time showing him a shilling. The defendant, who was drunk, then backed the horse on to the pave ment and it fell, and he then took defendant into custody. John Page, a cabman in the employ of Mr. Moss, a cab proprietor, said that shortly after onv that morning the defendant got on to the footboard of his cab, seized the reins, and set to pulling them. He asked the females who were i❑ his cab whether the defendant belonged to them, and they said he did not, and they were anxious to get rid of him. The defendant then said that he wanted the pro tection of the police, and he (witness) told the police that he wanted protection. The defendant then threw the horse down on the pavement, and hurt its knees. The defendant said that he had ridden in the witness's cab to Leybourne's in Windmill -street, and that on getting out he gave the witness half-a crown, and the witness then returned him a shil ling and drove off, taking more than his fare, and he went after him and stopped him. The witness said that he never saw the defendant before he jumped on his footboard, and could not make out what he wanted. The horse would have to rest for two or three days. Mr Knox said it was quite clear to him that the defendant was drunk, and mistook one Hansom cabman for another, and thus got into his present scrape. The defendant would have to pay a fine of 20s. or 14 days for being drunk and disorderly, and pay 20s. or 14 days as compensation for the injury to the horse. S7A7E OF TRADE. BRADFORD, April 23.—Though cotton is again up, the wool market continues very quiet. During the past few weeks an immense business has been done in wool, and most spinners have supplied their wants for some time to come. The transactions to-day are consequently very restricted. The quo tations, especially of all good wools, are generally extremely firm, though there are some holders who are rather better to deal with. There continues to be a good business done in worsted yarns. Twofold yarns, for which there has of late been an extraor dinary demand, are actually dearer to-day, but the quotations frequently are intended to be prohibi tors in consequence of spinners being fully em ployed for some time to conic. There is rather more doing in small lots in single yarns, the ex treme quotations having slightly fallen. Lustre yarns, 40's single for home, and carded yarns, con tinue in steady request. MANCHESTER, April 23.—This market has been very firm to-day, and buyers have shown rather more d'sposition to do business. They are not yet quite prepared to give the prices asked by pro ducers, but some transactions have occurred at last week's full rates, , and, altogether, a more confident and cheerful tone has prevailed. Inquiries have been numerous, and the margin between buyer and seller is so trifling that there is a probability of a fair business being done shortly. LIVERPOOL CorroN MARKET, Thursday.—A further improvement has taken place in our mar ket to-day, a large business being done at about per lb. advance since yesterday. Arrival busi ness is also very animated and about 11. dearer. Compared with last week, prices for American and Egyptian are about F. and in Brazil nearly 1. ; other descriptions being unchanged.

The inquiries for iron aro few, and the competition is severe. The list of orders has not lengthened to any appreciable extent in the past fortnight, and finished iron may now be bought in. South Staffordshire at lower rates than have been known at any time in the past three years. To day one of the Great Wolverhampton establish ments, the Chillington Company, began in part, and last night some few of Earl Dudley's men re sumed at the Round Oak Works. The men have now resumed in whole or in part at the works of the leading houses in the South Staffordshire trade, and the strike is therefore regarded as virtually over. Nevertheless sales are impeded as long as the majority remain out. Hardwares, in some few branches, are unfavourably affected by the strike, and, generally, trade is quiet. Copper and brass goods are firm, with an upward tendency. LEICESTER, Thursday.—There is a marked falling off in the demand for wool at present as compared with two or three weeks since. There is a disincli nation on all sides to enter into arrangements beyond what immediate necessities call for. Prices have further declined, average lots of half-wethers and half-hogs not being worth to-day more than 40s. per ton. The hosiery trade has a satisfactory aspect. Several large buyers have been in the market this week, and have placed some fair orders for the winter trade. Spring goods are also in request, although the present prices somewhat check the demand. The inquiries for elastic webbiugs have not been numerous, but manufacturers report that they are still able to run their machinery full time without materially increasing their stocks. Gus setiugs for the home market are the chief articles just now in request. TIIE fiu.sir Is A .11 ERICA. - It is now about 17 years since a little Irishman from Roscommon, named James Cuffe, settled in the Island (\Voolfe Island, in the St. Lawrence). Low-sized, but broad-shouldered, well knit and vigorous as a " four year old," Jimmy Cuffe, like thousands of his race in America, possessed only that species of capital which may be easily carried across ocean and over mountain—which rust cannot consume nor moth devour, but which, although the wonder-worker of civilization, is often blindly despised by those who will alone believe in bullion or bank notes ; —it consisted of his strong pair of arms and his brave heart. Literally, he had not a penny in his pocket ; nor indeed—at that time at least--could ho " take a shine" out of his reading and writing. Bnt so resolutely did the little Con naught man—in whose composition, it may be re marked, there was not the faintest suspicion of the Anglo-Saxon—labour at his calling, " morning and night, early and late," that he rapidly became a thriving man ; and Jimmy Cuffe is now the pro.. prietor iu fee-simple of 800 acres of rich land, which it would be difficult to match in Roscommon; with a fine house, a stable full of good horses, spacious barns, cattle and stock of every kind—in a word, everything that the heart of any rational Irishman could desire. Ile drives his family to church in a spring waggon, drawn by a pair of good horses, " as grand as the Lord Mayor of London, or as any real gentleman in the ould country." I hap pened to be in Kingston the day Jimmy Cuffe cane in to take up the bill on which he had raised the purchase-money for his latest acquisition of 200 acres. It was rather a large sum, but the produce of his harvest enabled him to do so without embar rassinent. And Jimmy's sharp grey eye glistened as he told how he had got along, and succeeded not only in " making a man of himself, thank God," but—what pleased him quite as much—in buying out the old settlers—a class rather inclined to think little of what Jimmy Cuffes can do. When describing how several of the wealthiest of the modern emigrants succeeded in life, some one who knew the city well would say, " Such a man first worked as a labourer ; I remember this man in a sawmill ; that man commenced as a lumberman ; one was a gardener, another a porter, another a pedlar ; and now such a man is worth £2,000; such a man, £5,000 ; such a man, £lO,OOO ; such a man, £20,000; such a man, £50,000; but, sir, all made by honesty, energy, and good conduct." This is literally the history—the noble history—of many a man in St. John, who is a credit to the country of his adoption, and an honour to the land of his nativity.--J. F. Maguire, M. P. The usual monthly meeting of the English Church Union was held at the Freemasons' Hall on Tues day, the Rev. M. W. Mayow in the chair. After the usual routine, which included the election of 113 now members and the nomination of 89 new candidates, the chairman read a brief valedictory address from the ex-president Mr. Colin Lindsay, who has retired on account of ill health. The hon. gentleman, after dwelling with some emphasis on the two great perils which he conceived threatened the Church of England—namely, the toleration of scepticism by her authorities, and the proposal to abo lish or seriously modify her ritual law; and after bequeath ing to the society as its motto that which had formed the theme of his inaugural address, "Union and unity—union as a compact body, and unity as united in principle and action "—concluded by speaking in the most cordial terms of his successor, the Hon. Charles Lindsay Wood, son of Lord Halifax. He said he thought the council could not have selected a bettor man, and ho hoped he would receive the cordial support and co-operation of the members. A note from Mr. Wood, who was accidentally prevented from being present, was then road, accepting the office, a.id Mr. 11. E. Pellew proceeded to move the following re solution :—" That the English Church Union hereby ex press their great regret at the cause which compels their late president, the Hon. Colin Lindsay, to resign th.) post so long and so efficiently filled by him; and in offering this public testimony of their appreciation of his services, they hope that his life may long bo preserved and his valuable labours continued to the glory of God and the defence of tho doctrine and liberties of the Church of Ellgr laud." (Cheers.) Mr. Pellew mentioned that eight years ago, when Mr. Lindsay became president of the English Church Union, it numbered but 200 members, whereas it had now 9,500 members, 800 associates, and 1,500 women associates, making a total of 6,800 unionists. The motion was seconded by the Earl , of Limerick, and carried unani mously. SHARE LIST. ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS. Railways fltrivroi arid - Exeter .... ICaledonian .. Cambrian Cork and Bandon...—.

"BACCHANALIAN REPHISALS."—A well-dressed young woman, giving the name of Mary Ann 'For ness, was charged with stealing a quartern measure from the Zetland Arms Tavern, Brompton-road. Francis North, the master, said he was shutting the house up at a quarter-past eleven last night, when he saw the prisoner and another woman drinking at the bar. Shortly after this the proprietor said he had lost a measure, and told witness to go after the prisoner and her friend, which he did. Ile overtook them about a hundred yards from the house, and asked for the measure, which after some excuse she took out of her pocket. Mr. Arnold—Was she drunk or sober ? Witness—She appeared to be drunk, but she did not get drunk in our h ouse. Police-constabl e D an i el Pegg, 37 B, said he took the prisoner into cus t o d y for steal i ng t h e measure. She was drunk. Mr. Arnold—What did she say ? Policeman—She told me she took it because she didn't have proper measure. Mr. Arnold—That was a very improper measure. Prisoner—l did not have proper measure. I called for a quartern of gin, and paid 53. for it, and it only went a glass and a half instead of two glasses. I complained, but they paid no at tention, so I thought I'd take the measure. It was no use to me, and I shouldn't have taken it, I dare say, if I had been sober. She was remanded till Tuesday. THAMES. A DESTRUCTIVE YOUNG SCO UNDREL .—Patrick Cronin, an Irish boy, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with damaging a drinking foun tain in Whitechapel. The prisoner and several other young ruffians were amusing themselves by dashing water from the fountain near the railway viaduct, at the top of Leman-street, over each other, and then threw the water over passers b y. S ome o f th e urchins were sou n dl y thrashed by two sailors who were passi ng j and they were not pitied by those w h o w it nesse d this just punishment. The prisoner then broke the chain which held the drinking cup to the fountain, and threw the cup away. The prisoner was immediately taken into custody. The fountain was under the care of the Board of Works for the Whitechapel district, and their clerk, Mr. Alfred Turner, solici tor, took particular care of this fountain, which was situated in a populous district, close to the Sailors' Home in Well-street, and near to several great factories and sugar refineries. An officer of the Whitechap e l Board of Works said the fountain, which was of great service to the public, had been more than once damaged, and that on the 23d of February last the prisoner was con victed by Mr. Benson for damaging the same foun s imprisonment and tai hard l a a n h d h u s r e . ntenced to 21 day Mr. Paget said it was extraordinary that people did not take care and preserve drinking fountains, which were of such immense advantage to the public, and particularly to the poor. Any one who damaged a drinking fountain must be very wicked and badly disposed. .1 he prisoner was a perverse and mischievous boy, who had been already com mitted again for sentenced2l day him t o 2 days , r damagingldays' the fountain, and h and . hard labour. The prisoner was 17 years of age, and quite old enough to know he was doing wrong. UNIVERSITY OF EDINBIJIIGH.—A meeting of the General Council of this University was hold on Tuesday ; Professor Christison in the chair. It was agreed to record an expression of the great loss sustained by the University in the death of Sir David Brewster. It was also resolved to petition both houses of Parliament in favour of granting at least two members to the Universities of Scotland. At a meeting of the Town Council of Edinburgh, also held on Tuesday, the Lord Provost stated, with reference to the Principalship of the University, that the persons who had been spoken of and suggested for the office of Principal were Sir Alexander Grant, Bombay ; Sir James Y. Simp son and Dr. Christison, Edinburgh ; Mr. George Dawson, Principal of the Macgill College, Alontreal ; and Principal Tulloch, of St. Andrew's. Iris lordship stated that the Curators bad already hold three meetings on the subject, and were likely to hold other two. At a meeting to be held on the 71 h of May the (lay for the election of Pi in cipal would be fixed. The election for the Professorship of Moral Philosophy had been appointed for the lath of June.

The Earl of UALUESBURY replied that ho could not answer the question himself, but would inquire of his friend at the head of t Ito Admiralty. THE ABOLITION OF CHURCH RATES. _ . _ Earl RUSSELL s:tid that he - 1 - ;:tdZZat7doill7t; about the propiie:y of rt•foiring this bill to a select committee, buc, after having considered 'he matter attentively, he had come to the conclusion that ho th3uld consent to such a committee. _ BANKRUPTCY REPEAL BILLS, The LORD OtIANOELLOIi --- si7idiTh; since he introduced these bills ho had received several communications which induced him to make some amendments to these bills; therefore he thought it would be best to go now through committee with these bills pro forma, end then to explain the amendments on the report being brought up. lie proposed, therefore, to go into these details on Monday week next. Lord ROMILLY stigmatised some of the clauses of this bill, as containing the most arbitrary and unjust enac - ments, and such that perfectly inuoc..nt persons might suffer from. After some argument on the part of Lord CRANWORTH and the LORD CHANCELLOR, which was purely technical, the bills were conunitt-d and passed. THE PROM [SS ORY OAT [IS BILL. This bill was committed and passed. OYSTER AND MUSSEL FISHERIES BILL. The Earl of MALMESBURY moved the second read lug of this bill, and it passed. THE PUBLIC PETITION BILL. The following select committee on this bill was ap pointed :—Marquis of 13 . 4 h, Dui of Devon. &c. STAFFORDSHIRE COLLIERS. The Earl of LICHFIELD asked whether a number of Staffordshire colliers had left employment in the coal pits of Lancashire in consequence of the magistrates and police having declined through inability to protect them from violence and personal inqnry. The Earl of MALMESBURY said that be believed that that was the state of things, and he was sorry for it. There had been a deputation to Mr. Gathorno Hardy of the coal owners in Lancashire that morn ing, and he had inquired of the chief constable, and had been informed that his force was not sufficient to protect these men Mr. II;►nly hail also telegraphed to the Mayor and others, and found that they had not force enough, He then made application to the Horse Guards, and a troop of cavalry and 300 infantry had been sent to the spot. This, it was hoped, would bo a sufficient force. The house then adjourned. ROUSE OF COMMONS—This EVENING The SrEAKER took th© Chair at 4 o'clock. MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS. Mr. S. MILL gave notice that on the 6th M ay h e s h ould move for leave to bring in a bill to establish municipal corporations in the metropolis, 'ted also for a bill for the creation of a corporation of London. THE WEST INDIA MAILS. In reply to Mr. GRAVES, Mr. S. BOJTH said it was not the intention of the Go vernment to invite competition for the conveyance of mails to the West Indies. THE BANK OF BOMBAY. In reply to Lord WILLIAM HAY, Sir S. NORTHCOTE said it was not thought desirable to make special provisions with respect to the inquiry into the matters connected with the failure of the Bank. He had received a telegram from the Governor-General stat. ing that he had given powers to the Commission to compel the attendance of witnesses, &c. ; and he had also asked him (Sir S. Northcote) to appoint a member of the Commis sion, and ho accordingly nominated Sir C. Jackson. He had reason to believe the whole matter would be thoroughly investigated. Mr. J. PEEL asked whether the Act of 1863, which it was said had led to the mismanagement and failure of the Bauk of Bombay, was not submitted to and approved by the Secretary of State for India before it was passed by the Council of Bombay? Sir S. NORTHCOTE replied that it was not. THE DISTURBANCES IN WIGAN. In reply to Major ANSON (in the absence of Lord Elcho), Sir J. FERGUSON said it was quite true that disturb ances existed in Wigan, but he could not stale the extent the acts of violence had proceeded to. Telegraph commu nication had taken place between the Home-office and the magistrates as to whether filly had sufficient force at their command to compel submission to the law, but receiving an unsatisfactory answer troops had been at once de spatched to Wigan. THE DISTURBANCES IN CRETE. Ou the motion for going into Committee of Supply, Mr. MONK called the attention of the house to the cor respondence respecting the disturbances in Crete, pre sented to Parliament by command of her Majesty in November, 1867. _ _ _ Sir F. GOLDS MID condemned the conduct of Greece with respect to the insurrectionary movement in Crete, es, instead of remaining neutral as she ought, kept up the flame by surreptitiously supplying anus and other means for continuing the struggle against Turkey. Had this not been the case, tranquillity would long ago have been restored. It appeared to be the desire both in Crete and Servia to drive the Jews away, and make them vagrants, and then to punish them for being that which they had been made. (LEFT SPEAKING.)

Mr. Baker Greene, having noticed that the Lord Chief Justice had yesterday stated that Vaughan was not proved to have been an accomplice, his lordship observed that ho should tell the jury that Vaughan's testimony must be receivedjwith quite as much distrust as if he were actually shown to have been an accomplice. At the close of the learned counsel's address, witnesses were called to prove that at the time of the explosion Barrett was actually in Glasgow. Michael McNaughty, a shoemaker, living in Glasgow, had seen Barrett three times in his own house. The first time was on the 12th of December, when he came with another man to have a pair of boots soled. His name was not mentioned. The next evening ho came for the boots, and as they were not ready, came again on the Saturday, and as the boots were still unt)uch.d, there was seine altercation. Barrett cooled down a bit, and two persons witness knew coming in, he asked th .m to sit down and mend the boots. They agreed to this, and Barrett sent out for an evening paper and read to them the account of the Clerkenwell explosion. Barrett remained till the boots were finishod.EThe man who introduced Barrett to witness was, ho believed, gone to America. To the best of his belief Barrett at that time had two or three days board on him. In answer to the Attorney-Goncral, the vritneas said he worked at home for shops, and did any jobs he could get. Had lived in Glasgow fifteen year.'. In f u rth er cross-exa nination the witness stated tha up a ow about when Captain WAN called ho did not tell him that no man bad called at his h ouse and kicked an his beetq, and sent ont fur a papd read r about `lLauus read a letter the Clerkenwell exploolou. AL (put in) written by Barrett to himself, under care of a Mr. Hughes. The letter was dated from :Milbank prison, Jan. 4, 1868, and told the person to whom it was addressed to go to the witness and soo if he recollected the circuit).- stances he had detailed. To the Court--,The alcount Barrett read from the paper was simply that of the explosion. Was paid for the boots by Mullin, the man who introduced Barrett. The men said after the account was read the explosion was a horrid thing; the man who read the paper said it wasa ridiculous thing, the witness explained to mean terrifying. The Lord Chief Justice cautioned the witness not to hold any intercourse with the other witnesses from Glasgow. The Court then adjourned. The trial will not be con cluded before Monday. A Juryman asked if it could be arrang) I that the jury might see their friends on strictly private business, with out the officer of the Court being present. The Lord Chief Justice said the diffioulty was that the bailiff of the court was sworn not to let the jury speak to any one on the matter of the trial, and he could not keep his oath if they had any interviews at which he was not present. The court had no jurisdiction to alter the state of the law. S PORTING INTELLIGENCE—This Day. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) CROYDON RACES-THIS DAY. INNKEEPERS' PLATE.
