The report of the Bank of South Australis, to be submitted to the meeting of the 23rd of June, states as follows :—" The past year has afforded the oppor tunity of thoroughly testing the assets of the Bank, tilich have been satisfactorily proved to be in a sound state. This has been facilitated by the contraction of credit in Australia as in most other parts of the world. From th e d eprec i at i on, h owever , i n the values of land, stock, and produce, increased caution has been n eeessary in the conduct of the Bank's operations. Under th ese c i rc umstances, the court of directors are nanny to state that the year's accounts show an ab sence of loss from bad debts, and that considerable amounts have been recovered from debts formerly Written off as doubtful. The directors are con sequently able to announce that the balance to the credit of profit and loss warrants them in recommending a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum, free of income tax, a decision which has been arrived at after carefully reviewing the condition of each account, and the general position of the Bank. here ha Len car- ;lea to the reserved fund the su T m of £5,890, being 10 per cent. off the profits of the past year, in con formity with the clause of the new charter, autho ti3ing the Fund to be increased to £125,000 on the 'Present capital of the Dank."

Account, July 9 COURT OF ALjERMEAr. Yesterday the City magistrates held a meeting at Guildhall, the Lord Mayor presiding. Some rou tine business having been - transacted, Mr. Alderman Wilson called attention to the fact that on Satur day last Mr. Baron Pigott and a jury sitting at the Central Criminal Court were kept waiting forty minutes for want of an alderman to constitute a quorum. He reminded the Court that they had a standing order to the effect that whenever the busi ness of the Central Criminal Court should be sus pended or delayed through the absence of an Alder man the Sheriffs for the time being should report the fact in writing to the Court of Aldermen, and state the name of the Alderman whose absence had occasioned the suspension or delay. The circum stance of the delay in this case, he said, had been reported in the newspapers, and he asked why the Sheriffs had not complied with the bylaw of the Court. Mr. Alderman and Sheriff Stone explained in effect that there had been a prevailing impression that the Central Criminal Court last week would not sit longer than the Friday, and that two others of the courts had concluded their business on that day; that Sir James Duke and Sir Francis Moon, who were the senior Aldermen on the rota, did not attend on Saturday, it being the custom in such a state of things for the junior Alderman to be pre sent t.o constitute a court, who happened in this case to be Mr. Alderman Gibbons, who, believing the business would conclude on the Friday, at tended a funeral on the Saturday, omitting, he be lieved, to ask a brother alderman to take his place at the Central Criminal Court in the event of the sessions being continued into Saturday ; that in the emergency Mr. Alderman Causton having presented himself, the business proceeded, an d th a t Mr. Baron Pigott afterwards said he was perfectly satisfied with the explanation. Mr. Sheriff Stone added that it was a highly important occasion, for without the attendance of an al lerman the judge had no power to adjourn the Court, and the jury might have been discharged, in which event the case would have had to be tried over again. The Lord Mayor, as the t h h e a a t d thetbhuesiCnJeDlss s tsa fo ti r sfi satisfied fission,loli havesaid delayed n° minutes for want of an alderman, and that if the Under-Sheriff had taken due precautions in warn ing the aldermen on the rota such a circumstance would not have occurred. Mr. Alderman Gibbons said the Under-Sheriff was not at all to blame in the matter, for he had apprised him (Mr. Alderman Gibbons) by letter, that he would be wanted on Saturday, but, unfortunately, that letter did not reach him until Monday, he (Mr. Alderman Gib bons) iu the meantime having been called out of town to attend a funeral, and h • aving been under the impression that the business of the sessions would finish on the Friday evening. The delay was altogether accidental SO far as he was concerned, and he was extremely sorry that it should hive occurred. Mr. Alderman Wilson said the Un Sheriff ought to have apprised all the rest of the aldermen on the rota that they might be wanted on the Saturday. Sir James Duke said when one court only was sitting it was never expected that the se nior alderman on the rota should attend. lie should go from there to the Home Secretary and ask him to introduce a clause into some bill rendering it un necessary that an alderman should be present to constitute a court. Sir William R ose hoped that would be the expression of an individual opinion on the subject, since the circumstance had been purely exceptional, and there were paid commissioners of the Central Criminal Court who were as much under an obligation to be present to form a court as any of the aldermen. That very day the Court of Al derrten had waited 25 minutes for the Lord Mayor. lie did not say there had been any inconvenience in that, but it would be absurd for any one to as sign it as a reason for doing away with the Court of Aldermen. After a few words from Mr. Alder man Salmons, M.P., the subject was allowed to drop. On the motion of Mr. Alderman Lawrence, M.P., a vote of thanks to Colonel Fraser, the City Commissioner of Police, was passed for the-highly efficient manner in which the City police, under his direction, had performed the special duty of . protecting the gaol of Newgate and the Sessions house in the Old Bailey during the confine meat and trial of the prisoners charged with being con cerned in the Clerkenwell outrage. Mr. Sheriff Stone bore emphatic testimony, from his own per sonal knowledge, to the unwearied devotion of the police on the occasion, lasting over many months, to the effective arrangements made by the Commissioner (Colonel Fraser) for preserv ing the public peace on the execution of the convict Barrett, at which there was not a single accident, and to the admirable efficiency of the whole city police at this time. Sir William Rose said no one knew, except those connected with the city police ; what they had gone through during the alarm caused by the Fenian organisa tion, seeing that there was scarcely a public estab lishment or a great warehou3e in the city to which threatening letters had not been addressed, or which had not been menaced with Greek fire. A letter was read from the Home Secretary calling the attention of the Court to the fact that the new statute providing for the execution within prison walls of convicts for capital offences had re ceived the Royal assent, and asking for any sug gestion the Court might have to offer for carrying out the act, especially with reference to the seventh clause. On the motion of Mr. Alderman and Sheriff Stone the letter was referred to the Gaol Committee, and the Court adjourned. The Price . of Gold. The quotation of gold at Paris Is about at par, and t short exchange on London is Vd. 170. per £1 sterling. tin cimparing these rates with the English Mint price of E, Gs, 10id. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that .7,1c1 Is at tibJut the same price in Paris aad London. The course of exch ang e a t New York on London for bills at 60 days' tight was on the last date about 110 i per cent At this rate there is reamed/ any profit on tha importation of gold irons the United States. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 17, 1868. SHARE LIST. LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Das. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Right Hon. Sir J. P. Wilde). TICIIBORNE V. TICIIBORNE. In this long-pending case, which involves the succession to the Tichborne baronetcy and estates, and in which it will be remembered that the con tending parties are, the first a gentleman from Australia, who claims to be the eldest son of the late baronet, and the other is an infant, the son of the second son, and conse quently the nephew of the petitioner. A motion was this morning made by Mr. Coleridge for a commission to New South Wales and Chili. He said that the object of the commission would be for the purpose of obtaining witnesses, and re ceiving their evidence in Australia and South America. It could not, he apprehended, be ob jected to by the ptitioaer, inasmuch as it was only to supp)rt the testimony of a gentleman who had bean absent long from home, and who relied upon the3e witnesses as persons who could identify him. if it was found that what he had stated was true it would be ad vantageous to him, and if it was found otherwise his client would certainly be enlitled to the com mission. SJrgeaut Ballantine objected that the suit hal been long pending, that it was only owing to the death of his mother that the petitioner was enabled to come before that Court, and that through the life the petitioner had led in tropical regions, it was uncertain how long he would live, and therefore they wished the matter settled, and as there were many persons in England who could identify him it would bea waste of time to issue a commission. The learned Judge thought to have a commission would be necessary, and granted it accordingly, QUEEN'S BENCH. RISK ALLAH V. WHITERURST.-LIBEL.

Being in the French language they presented very little interest. POLICE lIV TELL 1G P.N r CE.-TIIIS DAY. MA.RLBOROUGII-STREE STEALING Boors. — henry Charles Watson, a porter, in the employ of Mr. Barber, waste paper dealer, of Onslow-street, Farringdon-road, was charged before Mr.. Arnold with stealing eight books, the property of Messrs. Chapman and Ball, booksellers, of No. 193, Piccadilly. Charles Butcher, a plain clothes officer of the C division, said that in consequence of information he received he ,went yesterday to the shop of a Mr. Jones, in Leather-lane, and asked him if he had purchased any books off the prisoner, and he readily admitted that he had, and he then went to the prisoner and asked him if lie had sold any books to Mr. Jones, and he several times denied doing so. He took the prisoner to Mr. Jones, who at once identified him as the person he ha I bought the books off. He then took the prisoner into custody, and when he was at the station he a linitted selling the books to Mr. Jones, and said they came from Messrs. Chapman and Hall's, of No. 193, Picca dilly. The books were produced, and consisted of some volumes of the works of Mr. Charles Dickens, and the first volume of " The Holy Land." Mr. Wm. Somerville Orr, managing clerk of the firm as the n and Hall, identified th e books Messrs. property Chapm o a f the firm, and stated that of at the time they were taken the volume of the Holy Land" was not published. The prisoner was porter in the employ of a wholesale dealer in waste paper, and was employed by him in removing waste paper from their establishment. Mr. Charles Win Jones, bookseller, of Leather lane, proved buying the books off the prisoner, whom he had known for some years. pleaded guilty, a good character. l‘ r . Mr. Barber, wholesale stati oner, gave t h e priso ner, who rnold said it was an extraordinary thing thaterr . Arnold with a good character should have yielded to such a temptation as he appeared to have done. The prisoner would be committed for four months with hard labour. WESTMINSTER. BRUTAL ASSAULT UPON A WIFE.—Nora Bryan Medway-street, Westminster, was charged with violzntly assaulting hi s wife, Sarah Bryan. The complainant, who appeared to be in great pain, her head being bandaged up, deposed that on the previous evening her husband came home, and without any provocation caught hold of her by her hair, knocked her down, and inflicted a fearful kick over her eye, threatening to murder her. A police inspector said he had seen the medical gentleman who had attended the complainant, and he was of opinion that her left eye was completely destroyed. Mr. Mansfield remanded the prisoner for a week. ANOTHER R UFFIA.N.--MiChael Joseph Eck, tailor, of George-stre e t, Ch elsea, was charge d w i t h vio— lently assaultin g hi s wife, Sarah Eck, by striking her on the he a d w i th a saucepan. Police-const a bl e, 56 B, said he appre h en d e d the prisoner on th e previous evening, and took him to the infirmary, where the woman had been taken. She gave him into custody, but so severe were the injuries recei ve d t h at she would be unable to attend for a few day s .

Benson, charged with attempting to commit suicide in the river Thames. The case of the Englishmen, Mitchell, was the most recent.

He fell in the water, and Lee jumped in after him and saved hire. The prisoner jumped into the water again, and Lee again saved him and handed him over to the care of the police. He was inebriated at the time. He stated that he went down to Greenwich by the steamboat on Monday afternoon, and he did not know how he reached the opposite shore in Poplar on Tuesday morning. Lee—lt was opposite Greenwich where he threw himself into the water. He made three or four at tempts to drown himself. The prisoner expressed contrition for what ha had done, and as the few hours' incarceration in the Middlesex House of Detention, and the ride to and from that famed prison, appeared to have arrested his propensity to drown himself he was discharged. Mr. Cofford, who cla T im he ed e' t l o se be of nearlythe h threetcmsacno years of age, was next—On the night of the 10th in s t an t h e p l unge d S co, re into the NV est India Dock at Poplar. He was saved by James Pike, a police-sergeant, No. 41 K. The Prisoner said it was a guilty conscience that caused him to make the attempt on his life. Two re spectable men, arried to the prisoner's daughters, said that Mr. Cofford had been robbed by several persons lately, and that on the day before he attempted to drown himself he took bills out to the amount of £4O or £5O, and nothing was found upon him. Mr. Benson said he had heard a favourable ac count of the prisoner from the chaplain of the house of Detention, and he would a ll ow t h e pri soner to be discharged and go hom e w i t h t h e hus bandsruensfpoerct respectable his unfortunate m f daughters,father-in-law. earn. : an -tlo take gre a t i nterest i n their a who appe are d t o b e very w We underdtand that the .crown and state dresses of King Theodore, which were brought from Abys sinia by Colonel Milward, have been temporarily deposited at the India Office.

This meeting will certainly bear comparison with 111.° 3 t of the gatherings, metropolitan or suburban, not only 20 point of attendance, but in the quality of the sport pro vided. To-day the weather was highly favourable, and though in some cases the course was hard going, it was not so bad as might have been expected from the recent flry weather. The ring was very well filled by specula tors, but there seemed a falling off of the outside public, although the lengthy programme issued certainly afforded abundant sport, there being no fewer than nine items on the card for decision. A Handicap Plate of 40 sovs brought out four runners, and Traviata was 83t down as a cer tainty for the event, long olds being very freely laid on her; but her chance was upset by the despised Weather Isle, to the chagrin of the " talent." Backers were, how ever, successful in their next venture, by landing with a filly by Thormanby ; but they were again wofully out in the Eton Handicap, for which Python was highly fancied and finished nearly last, while the race was won by Lic tor, who started at 10 to 1. After the racing Stakes had been disposed of, a severe blow was given to backers in the Thames Plate, as the chosen one, Bslphegor, turned tail on the starter's flag being lowered, and took no part in the race. Electricity, as at Croydon, easily disposed of her opponents in a T cvo-Year-011 Plate ; and a filly out of Lady Lotty beat from curl to end one, of the Chaplin- Machell stable fillies—Problem —who had been greatly fancied notwithstanding the weight, which palpably told upon her within the distanc,3. The French colt, Masani elle, the winner of the New Two-Year-Old Stakes at Ep som, had no trouble in disposing of Hop Girl in the Royal Stakes; and the proceedings were concluded with the Rays Handicap, in which Mr. Barber's filly Alicia, who had previously run a good second, boat her field cleverly. Appended is a return of the sport : Handicap Plate of 40 sovs. for all ages; winners extra ; entrance 2 sovs. About five furlongs straight. Mr G.

There will be five arches. Two arches on the south side are in a very forward state, being arched over with iron girders formed of plates of wrought iron bolted together. The piers are built with bricks interlaid with thin strips of wrought iron, and facad outside with large blocks of granite. The foundations of all the piers being now laid, the work will proceed rapidly. After sinking in the river hollow iron caissons, very deep and extensive excavations were found necessary before the foundations could be laid. The piers are founded on iinnunso beds of solid concrete. ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS. ihare. Railways. Paid.!

St. Albans — 1 ' Ealing Kingsbury 8 I RECREATION FOR THE MILLION.—A correspon dent writes to us:--There are appeals in the papers for aid to take out for a day such of the poor of our city as "have not seen a field for years." If distance prevents it, the longest day this year will fall on a Sunday (21st inst.), and an early start then would give them the whole coun try by sun-rise. The Coronation Day will also fall on a Sunday (28th inst.); many like to observe it, and observe it well they might by enjoyment of the country. And if they wish to attend church or chapel on the way there is always a kindly welcome in the country. This want of recreation has a very depressing influence, and injures many a social movement in town, many seeming dead to everything but drink through it. MILITIA.—On the day of inspection of the militia in England in 1867 there were present 1,625 offi cers, 2,986 non commissioned officers, and 54,225 privates. There were absent with leave 228 officers, 17 non-com- ;ssionecl officers, and 1,195 privates ; and absent without cave it officers, 3 non-commissioned officers, and 3,518 privates. In Scotland there were present 234 officers, 4 29 non-commissioned officers, and 8,232 privates; and there were absent with leave 35 officers and 120 privates, and without leave 2 officers, 1 non-commissioned officer, and 441 privates. Tho militia in Ireland was not trained in 1867. The establishment of the militia for the United Kingdom is returned as comprising 124,622 privates, but : 26,202 were wanting to complete. -The largeness of this last number is chiefly caused by the reduction made in 1864 in the effective strength of all regiments whose establish ments, exceed 600 privates.

PETER'S, PIMLICO. —On Saturday, Juno 13th, the R3v. F. K. Harford, of Westminster, celebrated the marriage of his friend Capt. Henry Carlton Arymar, with Sarah Rosalie, widow of tho late Walter Stanbrough, Esq. The bride was given away by Mr. Gustave Dore, also a friend of the bridegroom, who enjoys the reputation abroad of a keen amateur of li era ture and fine art. Another address from the Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland, prepared at its half-yearly meeting, boasts of the large number of the nobility and gentry, and " resolute young men," who havo lately joined the ranks of the institution, and of the "noble exhibition of Protestant life and. union" witnessed in many parts of the em pire. The address complaini of the injustice with which the Orange Society has been treated. by successive Government=, and the "perversion. of the laws to the manifest injury of Protestants alone." Tile Revolution, the America' organ of Woman's Rights, notes the fact that the Congregational Church of Harlem, Rev. S. Bourne, pastor, on the report of the committee appointed a year ago, have recently so amended the . standing rule of that church that women are now eligible as officers. The vote was unexpectey larsr3. it. required a two-thirds vote, but it Was four to one. The women of that congregation may now be pastor, deacons, trustees, as well as devout members. During last year over half a million of money.— £540,884 was transmitted to Ireland from America by emigrants to their friends-2202,911 of the sum being in the form of prepaid passage orders. The Austrian Emperor, desirous of remunerating the barristers who undertook the perilous duty of defending his brother Maximilian, offered each of these gentlemen a large sum of money, which they steadily refused. The Emperor has, therefore, sent to each a magnificent • service of plate of the value of 50,000 florins ; and to the priest who ac companied the captive to the place of execution a jewelled cross of equal value. A letter from Warsaw, in the Posen Journal, says : —" The sudden disappearance of M. Kletchewsky, editor of the Sunday Courier, with his family, Las caused some sensation here. The cause of his flight is singular. He had married a Russian lady belong ing to the Greek Orthodox Church, and the religious ceremony was performed according to the Catholic rite. By the legislation of Russia such marriages should be solemnised at the Greek Church, under the penalty of banishment to Siberia. The police having heard of the affair opened an inquiry, and M. Kletchewsky, fearing the consequences of his infraction of the law, left the country with his household." A NEW SENSATION.—DESCENDING NIAGARA FALLS IN AN INDIA-RUBBER BOAT—Charlespckford, of this city, the sixty-hour skater, has conceived the idea of making the perilous passage over the Falls of Niagara in an India-rubber life-boat of peculiar construction. A few somesuggested E a s i t t e s r e n l f gteonhtliesmnei min,. nd, and Nvas communicatingupon weeks ago the idea it to pro posed by them that a purse of $ 30,000 b e r aised to induce him to make the undertaking. Il e accordingly perfected his scheme, and the contract for building the boat has been let to the Goodyear Rubber Company for $l,OOO. The boat will be an oblong, with a mean diameter of eight feet, six inches thick at the top and sides, and three feet thick at the bottom. A shaft of the same material will extend from side to side in the centre, on which will be swung on a pivot a seat, to which the adventurous occu pant will be fastened'. OiOening'at the top will be an aper ture sufficiently largo for him to get inside, after which it will be filled with air and closed up. It is calculated that -sufficient air can be retained to sustain life about twenty minutes. A smallcablo will be attached to the ball, by which it will be towed after the descant shall have been made, for which purpose parties will be stationed below' the falls. The model of this novel craft is now in WS city, and there is no doubt that the attempt to carry this startling project into execution will be made during the present season. Should he succeed, Mr. SidwY Doty, of Pontiac, will also undertake the cane feat,—.Detroit (Mich) Free Prem. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(This DAT.) The SPEAKER took the chair at I'2 o'clock. THE CASE OF MR. M'MAHON. In answer to Mr. REARDEN, Mr. A 9DERLEY said there was no truth in the report that the Rov. Mr. Al'Malion, now confined in a canadian prison, had been flogged for the offence of receiving copies of a newspaper which had been forwarded to him. TURNPIKE TRUSTS BILL. Mr. KNATOUBULL HUGESSEN; in moving the second reading of this bill, said that on a previous occasion he had fully explained the details of the measure, and had hoped therefore not now to trouble the house with a lengthy statement. There were, however, difficulties thrown in the way of passing the bill. Petitions had been presented against it as adding to the local taxation. Many thought the burden rhould be laid upon the general taxation of the country ; whilst others again urged that the present method worked well. The hon. mem ber appealed to official documents, to show that the expenses of collection, &:!., a.nouuted to 30 per cont. on the turnpike revenues. Under this new bill powers were conferred on the ratepayers which, had hitLerto rested on an irresponsible body of pet &pas. By the termination of two trusts last year the exp Poses of nearly 670 miles of road were thrown upon the n tea of the parishes, and he could cite many instances to show the unequal bearing of the present system. As to the objection that the debt should be defrayed out of the Consolidated Fund, he did not think it was founded on justice. The bondholders could not have a permanent claim on the tolls. They lend their money on a contract, well knowing that the contract was terminable at any time. Tho present system caused a double set of expenses in the same district, and it was to the interest of the officers to keep the tolls still in debt. Then, again, the representa tives of the agriculturists said that the capitalist and the bondholder would escape payment under the bill. The hon. member then showed how many anomalies would be removed if a district rate were adopted as he proposed. Replying to the obj .ction that the bill gave tao much power to the Home Secretary.
