For the two months the respective values are £26,593,667 in 1863 ; £27,232,914 in 1867 ; and £29,470,811 in 1866. The imports are only given for the month of January, and they were to the value of .£9,477,083 in 1868; £10,063,066 in 1867 ; and £10,394,443 in 1666.

The committee of administration of the Atlantic and Gre,,''.7 - Western Railway have received by this Morning's mail the opinions taken in America on the question of the relative priority of the Certificates of Debenture and the Consolidated Bonds. The autho rities consulted were the three leading lawyers of the states of New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, viz., O'Conor, Judge Black (late Attorney-General, United States), and Judge Ranney, and their several Opinions affirm most decidedly the view originally taken by the committee, that the Certificates of Deben ture create no lien upon the property ; and that, eXcept so far as these are secured by the Divisional bonds deposited at the Bank of England, the Conso lidated Bonds have priority over them. A full state ment will subsequently be made to all classes of cre ditors. The dividend of the Great Western Railway Com pany of Canada for the half-year ending with the 31st of January is announced at the rate of 4i per cent. per annum, leaving £3,000 for renewal of ferry steamers, and £2,725 6s 5d to be carried forward. Alter payment of all preference and guaranteed interest the net balance of the Great -Luxemburg railway Company for the six months ending for the Pest half year amounts to £21,032 13s Bd, out of 'which a dividend is declared of 3s Gd per share. This will allow of £1,048 12s ld being repaid to the Belgian Government, and of £2,484 is 7d being carried forward. The culls due in April, as far as the particulars have transpired, amount to £660,510.

Account, March The Earl of Enniskillen, who had been so seriously ill that his life was despaired of, is now better, and it is hoped will soon be restored to good health. THE KEBLE COLLEGE.--It iS arranged that the . first stone of the Keble College, Oxford, shall be laid on the 25th proximo by the Archbishop of Canterbury. The execution of John Mapp, who has been sentenced to death at Shrewsbury for the murder of the girl Catherine Lewis, will take place on the 9th of April. Mr. Corry will bring forward the navy estimates immediately after Easter. No inconvenience will be Nuffered by the public service from this delay, as a sum of two millions has already been taken on account. The return of the registrar of births, marriages, and deaths shows that the number of emigrants who left the various posts in Ireland for the three months ending the 31st Decemuer sast was 1.5, - zzy, being 333 in excess of the number for the corresponding quarter of 186 G. Mr. Johnson has found sympathy in a quarter where he could not have expected it. "The treatment of Mr. Johnston," says the Iriennan, "is simply atrocious." It adds that " he is suffering because it is inconvenient to our English masters that Orange processions should now take place." BURIED ALIVE.—A man named William Godfrey was buried alive on Saturday evening in the ruins of a house in Bucklershury. He was engaged with other men in removing the buildings which stand on the site of the new street which is to go from the Thames embankment to the Mansion House. NEW THEA.TRES IN LONDON.—TiIe letters which appeared some few months since advocating the erection of e new theatre in the western portion of London appear to have borne fruit, for we learn that Brompton has been selected as the site of a new house. Further steps have also been taken towards the erection of places of entertain- ment in Leicester•square, already indicated as being amongst theatrical projects. Mr. Tufton, the Liberal candidate for East Rent, has issued an address to the electors, in which he says : "My opponents are industriously circulating a report that lam a Roman Catholic. This is entirely false. M 3 father and I are, and always have been, members of the Protestant Church of England. I trust to your sense of fair play not to allow such unfounded reports to prejudice you against my candidature." As the time approaches for the decisive struggle on the Irish Church, every little occurrence which by any possi. bility can be supposed to give an indication as to the issue of the contest is eagerly seized upon. The tone of the Ministerial papers seems to be almost as changeful as the temperature of this fickle climate, for confidence and dis. trust appear to have succeeded each other almost with the rapidity of the ebb and flow of the tide. Now they are jubilant, then they are crestfallen; to-day they are sure of victory, to-morrow they speculate on the conse quences of defeat. The latest phase of the Standard's argument is just this : — Supposing that the House arrives at the conclusion that the Irish Church must be re duced to the level of the sects in the first instance, and plundered of her revenues in the second, the mischief does not end here. The Irish Church, stripped and starving, will be the model upon which all other established and endowed Churches must be fashioned. The Estee blished Churches of England and Scotland are worth plundering, and why are they to escape the doom of their Irish sister? It is only a question of numbers, and the moment the census returns shew that the Roman Catholics and Dissenters are in excess of the Establishmentarians, the precedent of Ireland will be quoted with unanswerable logic, and the cry will be Deienda est Tho Herald, which for several successive days last week distinctly threatened a dissolution should the Government be defeated, does so no longer. According to our contem porary the Irish Church cannot be abolished except by an Act of Parliament, which nobody supposes there is the slightest chance of passing this session or the next, and the Government, as a matter of course, will not advise the Sovereign to accept an address from a House of Commons which has placed upon record its own incompetence to speak in the name of the nation as a guide to her action. The House may pass Mr. Gladstone's resolutions, but the Government will regard the Irish Church as no more affected by them than it was by the resolutions passed against the same Establishment thirty years ago. It will not suspend the exercise of Royal patronage ; the livings and the higher dignities will be duly filled up as vacancies occur; and the Reformed Parliament will not find itself preju diced iu its conclnsions upon thiz question in the slightest degree by any vote which the " hungry hunters after place " may snatch. It must, he confessed that this language is scarcely con. eitAent with the following paragraph, to which prominence is given in another part of the same paper :—" The return to town of her Majesty at this moment is opportune, as it will considerably facilitate matters should an appeal to the country be deemed necessary." At the same time, very few outside the Herald office believe in the possibility of a diss“lution. The Times thinks Mr. Disraeli may, in accordance with the practice of the Co:;s!,itution, deny that the present House of Commons expresses the opinion of the country, and may claim to retain his present position until the issue can be submitted to the new constituencies. What is important is that the House of Commons should give an earnest of the legislation of the future, and offer a pledge to the Irish people by declaring at once the neces• sity of abating the Irish Church Establishment ; nor can any member refuse to join in it, whatever pretence oz explanation he may suggest, without being convicted of indifference to wrong, and of upreadinem tct 4014 in MeTtinz it..

(Before Mr. Registrar Brougham). IN RE 11. J. BYRON, THE THEATRICAL MANAGER AND This bankrupt was described as of 27, Doughty street, London, and of Liverpool, and he is a well known dramatic author and burlesque writer, having recently taken three theatres at Liverpool, the failure having arisen through his carrying on those establishments. The total liabilities are about £5,000. The bankrupt was adjudicated upon his own petition cn the 4th March. Messrs. Lawrence, Plews, and Bowyer were attorneys to the plaintiffs, and some debts were proved, but no creditor was willing to accept the responsibilities of trade asaignee, and *o the choice stood over till May 4th instant. POLICE 1 1V17SLLTGENCE.-THIS DAY. A SCENE II COURT.—Elizabeth Keefe, a young woman, was charged before Mr.Tyrwhitt with being drunk and disorderly. Sergeant Sarah, 1 C, said that on the previous evening the prisoner took her mother (au inmate of St. James's workhouse, and who had been on a visit to her) back to the workhouse in a cab. On the mother getting out of the cab she fell on the pave ment helplessly drunk, upon which the prisoner set to abusing hef in violent terms because she would not get up and go into the workhouse. Having taken the mother into the workhouse, she returned to the street, when the prisoner set to abusing him in such a manner that he was obliged to take her into custody. The prisoner here took off her boot, and threw it with great violence at the sergeant, but it fortu nately missed him. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked .the prisoner whether she was marri ed. The prisoner said she was not. Alr. Tyrwhitt—What a fortunate chance it will be for the man who should ever be blessed with you. You are a violent woman, and ,will have to pay 20s. or 14 days. The prisoner said she would serve seven years for he sergeant. ROBBING A CONSTABLE'S Winow.--John Hen ning, a surly-looking lad, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with picking the pocket of Mrs. Char lotte Simmonda, the widow of a constable of the E division, of a purse containing money. The prosecutor, who has only lost her husband a few weeks, was walking from one door of the chapel in Marshall-street to another last night when she felt the prisoner's hand leaving her pocket, and she then missed her purse containing Bs. She gave an alarm, and the prisoner was stopped and taken to the station, and subsequently the purse was found down an area on which the prisoner was standing when taken into custody. Thomas Geley, a lad, proved seeing the prisoner drop something down the area. The prisoner said the last witness was a liar, and 15f that he would give him a smack i n th e e y e . Nest, 54 C, proved taking the prisoner into custody, and afterwards finding the purse down an 103 21 area. Gordon, ,13 C, said there were convictions against the prisoner, and he could not have left prison more &han two or three days for stealing a watch. The prisoner told the constable not to tell lies. Gordon said the prisoner had also been twice before at that court. The prisoner asked that the matter might be settled at once? Mr. Tyrwhitt said that he could not deal with the case. The prisoner asked to have one more chance, but Mr. Tyrwhitt committed him for trial. SPOR7ING NOTES. The Northampton Meeting will take place on Tuesday next, and the Stand Plate looks like going to MANTON, as it is not likely that Vespasian, Mr. Pitt, Orion, Goojerat, or several of the other better class animals engaged will put in an appearance. The acceptances for the Delapre Han dicap will not be declared until to-night, and meanwhile it is a matter of guess to select anything, but ZISCA ought to give a good account of herself, and to her or EAU DE VIE I shall leave the race. Some twenty runners will probably face the starter's fig for the Great Northamptonshire Stakes, and I shall only comment on those animals which are at all likely to be heard of or distinguish themselves in the race. There can be no question if Squire Heath cote's mare conies fit and well to the post she will take an extraordinary amount of beating, still I cannot stand her at the weight. The Findon lot consist of Romping Girl, Thalia, Proserpine, Sister to Vedette, and Demon. The Goddess of Comedy, after her unsatisfactory exhibitions at Epsom, will nut, I fear, emerge from the clouds and win on the present occasion, and I have a very indifferent opinion of Proserpine and Sister to Vedette's merits ; con sequently, if Lord Westmorland is to get back the money he invested on his ja ly man! last week, it must be by the aid of humping Girl or Demon. Both of them will stay over the course, and the first-named mare, who is nicely weighted, is likely to be very troublesome to the winner. Christmas Carol will, to my notion, find the distance too far for him. Tormentor will have been made a few pounds better than when she ran second at Warwick, and ought at least to obtain a situation. I think it is any odds on her beating Ack worth, although the latter will prove good enough to win a handicap before the year is out. Wolsey has been heavily backed, but I cannot believe in his pre tensions to attract the judge's notice over this long and and difficult course. He may win, but surely the St. Liz Handicap, over a shorter course, will suit him much better. Lucifer, who is said to be very fit and well, should not be overlooked, as ho is " turned loose," and will stay every yard of the way ; indeed, ho possesses an outside chance second to none in the race. Ido not believe in Ailesbury, Feodor, Roquefort, Stephen Langton, Jezabel, or Nine Elms for one reason or other, which it is not necessary to recapitulate. Lord Hastings has been supported by Fobert's stable for "heaps of money," and has always been remarkably firm in the market since the betting commenced. The form he displayed last year would not be good enough to win a race of this de scription, but it is not a fair test, as 1 am persuaded he never was made thoroughly fit, besides he has most as suredly made great improvement since that time, and under the impression that he and Fervacques are one and the same animal, I consider this event is almost reduced to a certainty. The latter, at any rate, could not be beat, if he were in with 7st. It looks any odds on Blueskin and Kettleholder beating the other three-year-olds. Mr. Saville's horse is almost as well in with his penalty as when he won the Metropolitan, and will take an immense amount of beating; still I doubt his being quite good enough to win. I mention Kettleholder because he is sure to improve on the form he displayed for the City and Suburban one of those fine days, and should not be lost sight of whenever he rues. There may be several other competitors, but I see nothing to interfere with the chances of Romping Girl, Lucifer, Lord Hastings, and Blue skin. Of these I have the greatest faith in Louis HASTINGS, who will, I think, have no difficulty in winning, and my recommendation is LUCIFER and LEAP YEAR for situations. The Sweepstakes of 10 sous each, for 2-year-olds, will go to HILDA, and the Whittlebury Stakes will certainly be wan by LADY COVENTRY, if she runs. The previous day's running will materially affect the chances of several of those horses which are engaged for the St. Liz Handicap. At present I prefer the chances of Wolsey, Python or Kettleholder, Lady Coventry, Grey Stocking, Ligurian, and Cotytto, and whichever represents Godding's stable, PYTHON or KETTLEHOLDER will be about winning. Of the forty-six nominations left in for the Earl Spencer's Plate my preference is for Mr. Pitt, Vespasian, Orion, Moonbeam, Zisca, Alruna, Sycee, and Laird of Scotland. Most horses run better over one course than another, and as the two first named animals have previously travelled successfully over this very course, I think it feasible to suppose, especially as they are both leniently weighted, they may do so again and I shall, therefore, leave the race between SYCEE and MR. PITT. At the same time I expect to see LAIRD OF SCOTLAND run into a place. My fancy for the Sulby Handicap is the FILLY BY VEDETTE OUT OF CAPUCINE. If CURIEUSE is brought out for the Althorp Park Stakes I shall stand nothing else, but I expect to see Mr. Merry's Sunflower filly run better over this course than she did at Epsom, as the distance now is a quarter of a mile less.

THE FEUALE BARMAN.—.EXTRAORDINARY CASE. Mary Walker, aged 38 years, who was in male attire, was brought before Mr. Benson charged with placing herself in a public thoroughfare called Cable-street, Whitechapel, fur the purpose of ask ing and collecting alms. The prisoner has figured at several police courts and other places as the female barman. She once paid her addresses to a young woman to whom she promised marriage, and was ultimately committed to prison fora month for robbing her master, a licensed victualler, when she officiated as barman. her adventures in male garb, as John Walker and John Turner, have been very extraordinary. She was once a stoker on the Cunard line of steamers be tween this country and America, and her sex was not discovered. She obtained a situation as porter on the Great Western Railway by means of forged certificates and letters, and there is at the pre sent time a warrant for her apprehension at the suit of the railway company, but it was stated this morning that the company would not prosecute. On Saturday night the prisoner was singi ng i n a dark part of Cable-street. Connor, a police-con stable, No. 35 11, suspected that the prisoner was a woman, and took her into custody, not for assuming male attire, but for soliciting alms. In answer to Mr. Benson, the constable said the ballad which the prisoner was singing was about a soldier, love, and war, Mr. Benson asked if the Great Western Railway Company intended to prosecute. Inspector Holloway, of the H division, said the prisoner requited medical treatment. She had been examined by a surgeon, who said she was very much out of health. Mr. Benson questioned the prisoner. He asked her why she degraded herself and her sex by assum ing male attire, to which she replied that seven years ago she left her native village in Bedfordshire and indulged in the foolish freak of changing her clothes. The desire to act the part of a man and to adopt the garb and condition of the sterner sex grew into a passion. She IN ent on board ship as a sailor, and her sex was discovered by her ship mates. She would uot, however, be disappointed of her taking for the sea, and her desire of seeing foreign lands, and was engaged in a Cunard steamer, and afterwards as a barman. Mr. Benson—Why not obtain a situation suit. able to your sex ? The prisoner —Who will employ me as a female servant ? Connor—She was once in the Elizabeth Fry Refuge at Hackney. The Prisoner said she left the Fry Refuge because she was worse fed there than in prison, and the other inmates made her uncomfortable. Mr. Benson—What makes you affect a condition and garb that don't belong to your sex ? The Prisoner—l don't know, indeed. Mr. Benson—Have you any friends? The Prisoner—Yes, sir; if they can be so called. They have all repudiated me. Mr. Benson—Have you been used to hard work ? The Prisoner—Yes : at the Great Western Rail way I worked very hard indeed. I hope you will not send me to the Elizabeth Fry Refuge—l fared very badly there. Mr. Benson condemned the conduct of the pri soner in degrading herself as she had done. She had not the vigour or the strength of a man, and DOW was in a lamentable condition for want of proper food and exposure. He remanded her to the House of Detention for a week, and she would be attended to is a proper manner. SHEEP AND .LAmus.—From a return just pre sented to Parliament it appears that nearly all the sheep and lambs imported into this country come from Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, and Holland. In records compiled for the year 1864 it is stated that 7,407 sheep were imported from Belgium, 30,633 from Denmark, 1,264 from France, 189,371 from Germany, and 247,609 from Holland. The total number of lambs imported during the same year was 17,896-6,102 of which came from Denmark 11,537 from Holland, and the rest from other countries' The largest imports of sheep occurred in the month of December, and of lambs in August, none of the latter being imported in January and February, and only 1,107 of the former during the first month of the year.

CORN. The general tendency of the trade is to increased firm ness and advanced prices. From the country markets reports speak of a better de mand, and prices in some cases is higher for wheats. From the shipping ports of the Continent, the advices are that sellers are willing to meet exporters at the full terms of last Wenesday's floating market here. The number of wheat cargoes now off the coast for dis posal is 24, and holders are very firm. At Mark-lane this morning there was a fair attendance, and an improved inquiry prevailed, :the general tendency of.prioes being againt buyers. • English wheat was in short supply, and cleared off at is per quart, , r advanc3 on the rates of this day week. There were some fresh receipts of foreign wheat, which, with the samples left over from previous markets, make a fair supply.
