The principal feature in the Bank return is the evidence it affords of a falling off in the demand for money. There is a considerable increase in the amount of private deposits, while the private securities show a slight decline ; and in consequence of this the cir culation is a little lower, and the unemployed reserve is enlarged. The influx of gold, which has been con spicuous during the week, has caused the stock to enlarge nearly half a million ; but much larger addi tions must be made before the maximum of a few months back is regained. The following are the principal changes since the preceding return : Decrease is Circulation Increase in Public Deposits Increase in other Deposits 259,912 No cliaug, in amount of Government Securities. Decreare in other Securities 25,763 Increase in Bullion Increase in Reserve Increase in Rest Bullion in both Departments.

Making allowance for this incident, the aggregate is more satisfactory than that of last week, and it is in excess of that in the corresponding week of last year. Foreign Railways are unaltered. Great Luxem burg is inquired for at 11 7-16 to 11 9-16 ; and Lombardo-Venetian, at 14i to 15k. Bank shares are quiet, and prices are without movement. Agra (A shares) are quoted at 10 to 10k; Alliance, 13 to 12 dis. ; Anglo-Austrian, 42 to 51- prem. ; Chartered Mercantile, 28 to 29 ; Con solidated, 4i to 41 ; London and County, 52 to 53 ; London and Westminster, 71 to 72 ; London Joint Stock, 35 t o 36 ; - Union of London, 35 to 36 Foreign Mining Shares are very quiet at yesterday's prices, St. John del Reys being marked at 18i to 19 •, Port Philip, 1i to 12 . ; Chontales, 1 to 2k, Credit Foncier shares are very quiet at 21 to 3 ; General Credit 21 to 2R ; and National Discount 101 to 114. in Miscellaneous Securities Hudson's Bay are steady, at 151 to 15k ; Anglo-American Telegraph, 23 1-16 to 23 3-16 ; Atlantic Telegraph Eight per Cent., 5 to 5/ ; Fore-street Warehouse, 2 to 1 die..

'are 109 to 111 ; Canadian, 104 to 105 ; Mauritius, 105 to 107 ; Queensland, 1071 to 1088 ; and Victorian, 113 to 114. The Railway Market is quiet. The changes, which are fractional only, have no definite meaning. Mid lands at 107 to 1074, are scarcely so good as at the unofficial close. Lancashire and Yorkshire are 1271 to 128 f ; South Eastern, 764 to 77 ; London and North Western, 115 to 1151 ; Great Northern, 102 to 103 ; ditto (A), 96i to 974 ; Great Eastern, 3 31 to 34f ; Great Western 534 to 54 ; Brighton, 52/ to 53f ; Sheffield, 42 to 43 ; Metropolitan, 112 to 112 i ; Caledonian, 75 to 754 ; and Chatham, 181 to 19f. Short dated commercial paper is being readily taken this morning at 1 to 1/ . per cent. Corn is very dull this morning, the change in the Weather being considerable; highly favourable to the Voung wheat. The English Funds are very firm, the condition of the money market encouraging investments. Consols are 93/ to 94; for delivery, and 93k to 93i ex div. for the 4th of June. New and Reduced are 93f to 93 1 ; Exchequer Bills, 5s to lOs prem.; India 5 per Cents, are 116 to 116 k ; and Rupee Paper (1872), 104 to 104 i. Bank Stock is 246 to 248.

The Ceylon has arrived from Alexandria with .£4,690 in specie, and the Baltimore, from New York. With £12,500. The steamers which 'eft New York yesterday for Europe bring £lOO,OOO in specie. No fewer than 149,000 hectolitres of grain were reported to have arrived at Marseilles on Monday last fro m the D.Limbian and Black Sea ports. These imports were pressed upon the market, which never theless remained comparatively steady. The Belgian province of Brabant has just emitted a loan of £170,000, in 44 per cent. obligations, being part of a loan originally brought out in 1864, 1 4 £240,000, with dividend from let July next. The Joan is redeemable by drawings in fifty years, and some alight advantages accrue to subscribers who pay in Advance. A special general meeting of the East London Rail way Company has been called for the 3rd of June to Consider a bill now pending in Parliament. The traffic receipts of the Bombay, Baroda, and *Central India Railway for the week ending March 2 8th, show an increase of £904, and the returns of the Madras Railway for the week ending March 21st an increase of £1,071, as compared with the corresponding periods of 1867. The traffic receipts of the Great Western Railway tor the past week show a decrease of £2,600 ; and the London and South Western an increase of £3,382. The traffic receipts of the Bahia and San Francisco 'Railway Company for the week ending 11th April, allow an increase of £294 as compared with the cor r,esponding week of 1867. The following is from Messrs. Layton and Co.'s Tea Circular :—" The tea market has been quiet during the past fortnight ; numerous arrivals have v taken place, and the demand from the country has :Zen generally less active ; importers have, however, !shown great firmness throughout and towards the close. "'ales of good common black and red leaf congou are r eported privately at a further slight advance in value. Foochow Fannings have met a go od inquiry at 11-id to ib; now -make kinds from Canton at lld to Hid per -.; medium qualities of congou continue difficult of le at quotations, and in fine to finest 'Moiling and 11 .aisows there is nothinr fresh to report." The peculiar advantages offered by the Great Britain Life Assurance Society afford a perfectly novel and equitable system of apportioning the profit s to those adopting one of the most prudent steps of modern times. That life assurance is largely availed of is a well-known fact, but that it is not carried on to that extent which it ought to be is unfortunately also most true. Doubtless the fear of default of payment has prevented many from taking out a policy, but by the system in force at th e " Great Britain Mutual " the directors have adopted one of the wisest courses ever taken by p a nY society. By means of a novel and per fectly equitable system of apportioning profits the bonuses may be applied first in extinguish 111g the premium, after a limited number of annual payments, and afterwards in making the a mount of the policy payable during the lifetime of th e assured. The result of such an arrangement is th at the assurer can either secure a " free" or paid up policy ; or secondly, a sum payable on his 1:1 1 attain 1, a given age, or earlier in the event of decease. Thi s System is peculiar to the " Great Britain," and 8 .13 4 i t removes the two great objections against the system of insurance, it ought to secure for the oge e that p re f erence an d cons id era ti on t o w hi c h its liberality so eminently entitles it. , BRITISH FUNDS—TWO O'CLOCK. t;OVERNMENT FUNDS. 3 Per Cent.

LITEurooL, May 22.—Sales probably 7,000 bales, Market toilet, and unchanged. The " QUEEN'S" GROUNDS iiAMSIERSIIITIL—The proprietor, Mr. Crux, intends throwing open the newly-enclosed grounds, New-road, Hammersmith, with great eclat, on Whit Monday. On the occasion there is to be a grand shooting match for a splendid gold cup, a num ber of beautiful silver trophies, and six fat lambs ; and after we are promised a first rate display of athletic sports. The now:ground is most delightfully situated, within easy distance of the metropolis ; in fact it might almost be said to be within it, co great are the facilities of reaching it. It affords—for pedestrian matches—a course which gives a straight run in of 170 yards, and the cir cular one is four laps 'to a mile. For cricket matches there is as much space as at any grounds in existence, not excepting " Lord's," and for shooting everything is precisely as the most fastidious could desire. In close proximity to the ground stands the hostelrie of the proprietor, "The Queen of England," quite a charming suburban retreat, where there is ample ac commodation for those annual gatherings of the employer and the employed that aro so frequent during the summer season. The North London and the Metropolitan rail ways run within five minutes' walk of the place, and those who dislike the puffing locomotive can reach the door by that almost universal conveyance, the omnibus. Altogether we know not of a more delightful sylvan spot that could ba visited with so little trouble and expense, and there cannot be a doubt that " The Queen's Grounds" will in a very short time become one of the most favourite resorts of the smoke-dried Londoner. WESTMINSTER JEWS FREE SCHOOL, GREEK STREET, Somo.—The anniversary of this progressing in stitution, conducted on similar principles to that of Bell lane, SpitaMolds, was held last evening at Willis's Rooms, St. James's, presided over by Mr. Alderman Salomons, M.P., president of the school ; supported by Dr. Ald.yr, Henry L. Keeling, Esq., vice-president ; Louis Joseph, Esq., treasurer ; E. Alex, Esq., chairman of the Jewish board of guarlians ; David Hyarn, Esq., Barnett Moyers, Esq. ; the Revs. A. L Green, M. B. Levy, John Chapman, David Joseph, &c. Odes in Hebrew and Eng lish were recited by two of the children with charming simplicity. The amount subscribed was about £lso—the Rothschild family being liberal contributors, and the amount was much less than former years, which may arise from the increased charitable claims upon the Jewish com munity, coupled with adverse circumstances that have been felt by many, in consequence of the protracted money crisis the past two years.

LONDON AND BRIGHTON. A special meeting of the proprietors of this com pany was held yesterday at the International Hotel, London-bridge, under the presidency of Mr. S. Laing, M.P., for the purpose of submitting . to the proprietors certain bills now pending before Par. liament. Mr. Rose, the company's solicitor, stated that the first bill for their consideration was in tituled. " A Bill to authorise the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway Company to abandon certain works, and for other pur poses " (and one of which purposes was to confirm an agreement entered into for reference to arbi tration of the matters iu difference between the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway Com pany and the Surrey and Sussex Junction Railway Company, and divers persons partici to the pend ing suit in Chancery.) Mr. Rose having explained the heath of the variou's clauses of the bill, The CHAIRMAN moved a formal resolution ap proving of the bill. One of its clauses was for em powering an increase of fares. lie did not sup pose that the shareholders would object to that if Parliament would sanction it. At the same time he wished to state that it was not proposed to charge extravagant rates, but simply to place them selves in the position of being enabled to charge moderate rates when compared with other com panies. With regard to the clauses empowering the company to raise additional capital, not exceeding £1,000,000, the proprietors were aware that at the date of the last meeting the out standing liabilities of the company amounted to £BOO,OOO. Since that time they had been reduced by some £90,000, leaving in round numbers up wards of £700,000 to be provided for. Of course, in winding up an affair of the nature of the Surrey and Sussex very much depended on the amount of compensation to landowners and others, and there fore it was necessary on taking powers to leave a mar gin, but it wastot the intention of the directors to ex pend more than was absolutely necessary ; but they wished the Matter settled, and he thought that their best thanks were due to the Duke of Richmond for having consented to act as arbitrator. lle hoped that they would be enabled to wind up the claims by the next meeting, and the proprietors might feel assured that in any case the total expenses would be much less than if litigation had been adopted. Mr. LEVY, the deputy-chairman, seconded the motion, which was agreed to. The agreement entered into between the London and South-Western Railway Company and the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway Com pany, dated the 30th April, 1868, confirming and modifying certain previous agreements between those companies, respectively called the " Ports mouth agreement," the " Epsom and Leatherhead Agreement," and the Wimbledon and Croydon Agreement," was duly confirmed. The meeting was then adjourned. SHARE LIST. ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS. ihsre , Railways. • I 1371171% anu Exeter .... Ualedonian .—... U,unbrtau ' rk and Bandon...—.

The SPEAKER took the Chair at 4 o'clock. THE IRISH CHURCH. Mr. G. HARDY gave notice that on the second reading of the Irish Church Suspensory Bill he should mo ye that it be read a second time that day six months. (Llemr, hear, and cheers from the Ministerial side of the house.)' THE SCOTCH REFORM BILL. Mr. DISRAELI said a decision had been come to The other evening by the house, on the proposition of tho hon. member for Montrose, which had rendered it neceass ry that the Government should consider the position in which such a decision had placed them. When the Government had determined not to uphold that proposal they had not received much sup port. On Monday night two important decisions :tad been arrived at, which affected the subject of the distribu tion of seats, and were opposed to the proposition of the Go vernment. Her Majesty's Ministers had no desire to treat Scotland in any niggardly spirit, but the house in coming to its second decision affirmed principles of a very dif ferent charact,r. The motion of the hon. member for Kilmarnock, if adopted, would establish household suf frage without any qualification in a country where householders did not hold houses. (Hear, hear.) He thought that the decision of the committee ou that occa sion was arrived at under a feeling of misapprehension, as after the motion cf the hon. member for Mon trose it war thought that the house would report. progress. But, iu his opinion, the house proceeded and arrived at a precipitate conclusion, and that with but a very limited attendance of members. The course he pro posed, under the circumstances, to pursue on Monday next was to induce the committee to reconsider the decision it had arrived at somewhat hastily. (Hear.) He did not propose to ask the house to restore the two clauses which had been disapproved of, but what the Government pro posed was to move the insertion of words in the bill to pro vide that no eleetor for any of the burghs of Scotland should be entitled to vote who was not rated to the poor and paid his rates. (Hear, hear.) Such a proposal if agreed to would not infringe the English principle. (Hear, hear.) It might be said that the Government by taking such a course was proposing new principles to the people of Scotland, but in reply to that he had only to say that such was not the case, as they were using the language of the act relating to the mode of voting as re spected the poor law in that country. Such a course he thought would vindicate the principles of the English bill and enable them to carry the Scotch Reform Bill ; to a happy conclusion, and that within a very few days. (Rear, hear.) Mr. P. WYNDHAM odd it was the opinion amongst several of those who sat around him that Government under all the circumstances would have resigned ; but not having done so it seemed to be the desire of her Ma jesty's Government to adhere to a course which would draw down upon them the contempt of every right-thinking man, and which would render Parliamentary proceedings in a short time almost contemptible. It was said that the Opposition did not treat them with forbearance and misrepresented their views, but the fact was that the Government decu pied the not enviable position of place without power (hear,hear)—which he thought was not enough to satisfy a noble ambition. (Hear, hear.) They put forward principles one day which they withdrew the next. (Hear.) There was a limit to forbearance—(hear, hear)—and he had to tell the right hon. gentleman that there were many who would not cons ent to be any longer dragged through the mud—(hear, hear)—let the position of the Ministry be what it may. (Hear, hear.) Mr. BRIGHT thought that if as appeal to forbearance was made to them by the right hon. gentleman on the subject of the Scotch Reform Bill, be ought to be quite ready to make the same concessions to them on the sub ject of the Irish Church. If the right hon. gentleman de sired smooth water, lot him not himself disturb the pool. (Haar, hear.) Mr. BOUVERIE denied that the division on Friday night was the result of any sudden or hasty impulse. On the contrary, it was the result of a long and careful deli beration of the members for Scotland. (Hear, hear.) He thought the course of the Government was degrading to the Crown, disgraceful to the Ministry, and destructive to the privileges of the House of Commons. Ho thought that the policy of her Majesty's Ministers was one he could designate by no other term that of legerdemain. (Hear, hear.) Mr. J. HARDY hoped, after what had taken place, the Scotch bill would be either thrown out or withdrawn. Mr. HIBBERT thought that, whatever alteration was made, a proposal ought to be introduced into the bill that those who sought to be exempted from the rates should not be placed upon the register. Sir R. KNIGLLTLEY said he was induced to tolerate the present state of things only by the desire to put a stop to the present disturbing state of things. He had a great desire tspa see the Scotch ant! Irish R,forin Bills passed, and if the Scotch members really desired to pass their Reform Bill, he did not see how it could be accelerated by turning out the present Ministry. (Hear, .hear.) Ile had no desire to maintain the present Government in power for a di) , longer than was necessary. (Hear, hear.) Pass the Scotch and Irish Reform Bills, and then turn the Go vernment out the next day if they thought fit. Mr. RENDALL denied that the decision taken by the member for Kilmarnock was the result of a d -.liberate conclusion. It was, ho contended, altogether a catch veto. (11-ar, hear.) Sir G. BOWYER condemned the conduct of the hon. member for Kilmarnock as derogat,ry to the dignity of Parliament. Ho thought that the proper course to pursue was not to go on bandy ing charges, which if persevered in could not but disgrace the house, and also the honour of the country. He could not see, although it had been ruled as being within the privileges of the honourable member for Montrose, the justice of a proposal which endeavoured to benefit the representation of Scotland at the expense of that of England. He thought the right honourable gentleman had only done his duty by asking the house to reconsider the determination that had been arrived at the other evening. He considered the last division a chance division, and therefore he felt much satisfaction that the subject was to be again submitted to the decision of Parliament. Colonel L. LINDSAY also strongly condemned the im putation of mean and paltry motives to the Government, who ho believed were acting under great difficulties, and at great personal sacrifices. He repudiated all sympathy with the speech of Mr. Wyndham, whom(luoting a passage from the Spectator) he compared to the "raw dug who might yelp his heart out without any notice being taken of him," and urged the Government nut to give way until they had passed the Reform Bills. After some remarks from Sir 11. VERNEY, who taunted the Ministerialists with having supported measures which they believed to be disastrous, Mr. 11A.RDY retorted that if those who had indulged in offensive imputations against the Government really be lieved them, they were grossly neglecting their duty by not taking immediate steps to put an end to so discredit able a state of things. "For a decision of the house on that point," Mr. Hardy said, provoking loud cheering, "I long, and if 1 am called on to vindicate my personal or political honour I shall not be wanting." The Government were quite prepared to meet any charges brought against them in a shape which permitted a reply, and with groat warmth he defied any one to allege that in his public GA2- duct ho had acted dishonourably. He confirmed Mr. Disraeli's statement that the vote on Monday was a sur prise. Mr. OSBORNE thought that the amusing process of " baiting a Minister" might be carried too far, and he held that those who talked so loudly of the honour of Parlia ment, instead of raising these miserable discussions, should put their charges into a definite shape. He had no sym- path' , with the Government, but if he thought as Mr. Bouverie did of their motives he would lose no time in moving a want of confidence; and Irastead of interrupting public business Mr. Bouverie ought to do this or to sup port Mr. Sergeant Armstrong's motion. But he hoped no vote of want of confidence would be moved, for the sensible course was to pass the Scotch and Irish Bills, and to get rid with all speed of this miserable Parliament. Mr. MONCREIFF brought this animated conversation to a close by inquiring whether the Government would state what other alterations they proposed to make in the Scotch Bill, but he received no answer. Replying to a question from Mr. GRAPES, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he meant to go on with the Electric Telegraphs Bill, and suggested a morning sitting. Mr. M'EVOY asked whether, in the event of Parliament being dissolved, and an appeal made to the present con stituencies, he would in the new Parliament propose the disestablishment of the Irish Church, to which Mr. Glad stone, protesting somewhat against the nature of the ques tion, replied that under any cireumstances Le intended to adopt every legitimate measure to forward the great object which he had taken in hand. The house went into committee on the Election Petitions and Corrupt Practices at Elections Bill, and much time was taken up by a discussion (on a motion by Mr. Den man to report progress), which turned entirely on the principle of the bill. At half-past ten Mr. Disraeli offered to consent to report progress, stating, in answer to a ques tion from Mr. Denman, :that the GoVernment desired to pass the bill in its entirety ; but so strong a feeling was expressed in favour of going on at once that Mr. Denman withdrew his motion, and the house went on with the clauses. On clause 5, Mr. Mill proposed an amendment, the effect of which was to give the tribunal power to in- quire, not only iuto contested election , , but all cases where corrupt practices aro alleged to have prevailed. On a division it was rejected by 219 to 74. At this point the further progress of the committee was suspended. The Reformatory Schools (Ireland) Bill was passed through committee. Some other bills advanced a stage, and the house ad journed at a pallor past ono o'dock. 271 E TOX-HUN7ER. As to physical abilities, a strong constitution is needful to enable any man to undergo the hardships of hunting a pack of foxhounds. Setting aside the wear and tear of every-day life during the season, through all kinds of weather, casualties still occar, even to the best rider—falls, knockings about, hard perhaps a broken collar-b one or r ib s , w hi c h blows, perha will prove of what stamina the corporeal is com posed. To be always with his hounds, he must be a first-rate horseman ; not a bold, reckless rider ; and, as to weight, we think 12st. or 13st. in the saddle quite as likely to hold his own as one under. Big light weights and light made a horses stiff more thanoften l e thoseobstruct .country o of the contrary calibre or stamp. A little horse, to be always taking high leaps, which he must do to ge t c l ear o f s t rong blackthorn or other thick hedges, will soon have the " puff " taken out of him. In short, he is always in difficulties from violent exertion ; whilst the heavy we i g hts work th e i r way th roug h a ll opposition with comparative ease. Light weights are also more inclined to take liberties with their horses than men of more robust frame, who know they must husband their resources as much as possi ble. We have had both heavy and light men as whippers-in, and always found the former could beat the latter on the same horses over an enclosed country. By heavy weights, we do not mean a lump of so much human flesh, but a muscular frame, stripped of all superfluities, without an ounce of flesh to spare—th a t i s a powerful man in the saddle —elastic, wiry, a n d a gile, one who can assist the animal he is b estr i ding i n diffi c ultie s , an d h o ld him together wh en requ i s it e . More than on ce or twice we have heard the idea ridiculed that the rider can assist or lift his horse, and it is true that we have very often seen the horse exercising supreme superiority over his master, carrying him where he likes, and doing just as it pleases him ; but in these cases the rider has been over matched, without sufficient muscular power to regu late his horse's action ; a little man mounted on a 15-stone hunter always reminding one of a tomtit on a leg of beef. Having alluded to the physical, we must now treat of the mental power and other q ualifications necessary to constitute a perfect mas ter of the science. Perhaps it may be considered that the power of mind ought to take precedence of that But of body,were a and in human life intellect ranks fi huntsman the cleverest man in the world and a bad rider, unable to keep with his hounds, all the other talents he might possess would be of little avail. It is required of stewards that they undoubtedlyieae establishment N ahu ntsman or h ereinu ful, ch be other faith heal aservant is entrusted to them is of the utmost impor tance. Sober he must be, or his business would be n eglected, and no amount of intelligence can com pensate for that worst of all vices—drunkenness-- the root from which spring so many evils. In the present generation this vice is less prevalent amongst men of tolerable education, occupying trustworthy situations, than formerly. Hard drinking in any respectable class of society may be said to belong to the past, and swearing also. In our younger days we have often seen men, ranking as gentle men, as well as huntsmen and whippers-in, who in dulged freely in potations before taking the field, and then, as it is called, " riding like the devil ;" and, being clever men, these vices in the latter were tolerated. There is one other indispensable quality besides honesty and sobriety of which a huntsman to foxhounds ought to be possessed— good temper. " Hie nioderatur equos qui non moderabitur iras" is as true now as in the days of old Horace. Many can control their horses who give loose reins to their own passions ; irrespec tive of the unpleasantry which will arise between master and man, where the greatest cordiality should exist, when the latter is blest with an infirmity of temper, it is notorious that the well-being of the pack depends in a great measure upon a quiet, kindly disposition, combined with patience and forbearance. Animals generally, dogs particularly, will not attach themselves to men of harsh, violent tempers ; they judge us as we judge them and our fellow-beings, by that most unerring index of the spirit breathing within—the eye. With what reluctance have we witnessed pointers and setters following and obeying a sulky, ill-conditioned brute of a keeper, who, upon resist ance or misunderstanding his orders, would nearly flay them alive ; an d although huntsmen, by the rules and nature of their office are not permitted to flog their hounds, and cannot positively be accused of showing bad temper in the field, we can tell by the manner of their dependants towards them the characters of the men without examining their physiognomy._The Science of Fox hunting. By Scrutator. TIIE DUKE, OF EDINBUROIT.—The Lancet con tains a deScription, illustrated with sketches, of the bullet with which the Duke of Edinburgh was wounded. The missile appears to have been ono of those ordinarily used with a.revolver. It is small, and of conical form, and, when extracted, was flattened and otherwise altered t in shape at ono extremity. This was, no d o ubt, ca use d by ball having impinged obliquely upo n the ninth r ib o f the right side of the spine, by which it happily became deflected, and, instead of passing through the body, pur sued a course forwards to the position from which it was extracted. The medical officer who forwarded the sketch of the bullet added that no bad consequences had resulted iroll4 the injury which 04 rib mug ha w ougaijavd, COLONIAL GO TEIINMENT !British Columbia, 6 per cent., De 0.31, 1872 100 Can.Gov.6 p.c.Ja.&July 1877-84 Do. 6p. o.
