Secretary of the Defence Association of the Cavour Canal Septen nial Bondholders The Committee of the Stock Exchange acceded to . the application of the Defence Afisocial of the Cavour Canal Septennial Bond holders for a postponement of the quotation of the Tobacco Loan. This significant act on the part of the Committee was adopted to give weight to their n egotiations with the Government for a satisfactory adjustment of their claims upon it. To those Cl aims, as the bondholders are this day apprised by telegraph the Government has actually assented. The decision of the Stock Exchange has thereforg had its effect." The following telegram has been received from Gen. Abbott, the agent of the Delhi Railway, to the chairman " Manila, Nov. 17. " Viceroy formally opened line Meerut to Urn balla on 14th with great éclat. Agent escorted Viceroy from Umballa to Ghazeeahud on IGth. All It appears that an application made to the Chief Clerk of the Master of the Rolls, by the official liquidators of the late Birmingham Banking Com pany, for leave to pay the final dividend of 3s. in th 3 pound, was granted. The amount realised from the last £lO call was £249,000, and, after Payment of the dividend and the collection of the remaining assets, it is estimated that a conside rable amount will be returned to the contributo ries. Plans have been submitted to the City Corpora ti▪ on fur connecting Billingsgate Market with the existing and projected railways around London. The proposals include an extension of the Metro politan District Bailway, along the foreshore of the river to Billingsgate, and from thence to 'rower- Lill to join the Metropolitan (Eastern Extension). A road along the new line of embankment from A delaide-place to Billingsgate, and a continua .l▪ 0/1 of the low level sewer by the same route, instead of inland, as now proposed, form part of the plan ; and it is intended to apply to Parlia luent next session, the usual deposits being made this month. Yesterday Sir Charles Jackson and Major I‘l'Leed Innes, the Commissioners appointed by the (3.overnment to inquire into the causes which led to th e gigantic failure of the Bank of Bombay, re sumed the inquiry at the India Office, Downing street. The first witness called was a Mr. Fleming, WllO gave evidence as to a loan from the bank. 'lr. Donald Robertson had held several appoint toents at the Bank of Bombay, being deputy secre tary and officiating secretary. It appeared that loans had been made on the security of one name. The result of the inquiry, which will last some days longer, when concluded will be reported to the Go vernment. The statement that the costs of the liquidation of the Bombay and Mediterranean Bank have amounted to £10,400 is not correct. This sum (the total disbursement by the liquidators) includes £ 2 ,786 remuneration and compensation to late officers of the bank in lieu of notice, &c , besides solicitors' lien, rates, taxes, interest on mortgage of Clement's-lane premises, and many other sums Which cannot be designated as costs of the liquida tion. The New York. Evening Post of the 9th instant denounce in unequivocal terms the managers of the Erie Railway Company, and states that their conduct " appears clearly to constitute a conspiracy to defraud." It compares their proceedings with 'lose of certain previous operators by whom large Undertakings have been ruined, and suggests an a ppeal to the criminal courts, while apart from any Points that could technically be established, it calls u pon the public opinion for some adequate mani festation on the subject. According to the latest a dviees, the share capital, which stood at 1317,000,000 at the end of 1867, has been in creased by surreptitious issues to $60,000,000, a n d e re seems to be no pow er on th e par t o f th e ‘nru ined investors to obtain information, or to inter pose any real check to the process. Report alleges that none of these issues were for any requirements of the line, but that the whole were made simply to heat down prices in the face of other speculators, nn were buying for a rise, and also to obtain con trol o f the property.

A MYSTERY.—A pale-faced young man, about 22 or 23 years of age, who is supposed to have escaped from a lunatic asylum, was brought before Mr. Selfe charged with loitering about a public thoroughfare and not being able to give any account of himself. Rhiber, a police-constable, No 312 K, at the re quest of the magistrate, asked the prisoner his name and address in the German language. The prisoner made no answer. Tho question was re peated several times with no better success. Mr. Safe—Let me have what case there is against the prisoner. George Goldsmith, a police constable No. 492 K, said that at an early hour this morning he saw the prisoner sitting on a door stop, and asked him why he was there, and if he had any house to go to. The prisoner muttered a few words in Ger man, and at the same time made a spring upon him with a clasp knife, and attempted to stab him. He evaded the blow, and after a long struggle with the prisoner succeeded in taking him into custody. The interpreter translated the evidence, and the prisoner, who understood all he said, nodded assent, and signified that be understood all that was said to him, but he declined to say a word. Mr. Selfe—Tell him I must lock him up if he does not give some account of himself. The prisoner obstinately persisted in not speak ing a word, and after various attempts to compel him to open his mouth, Mr. Selfe remanded him until Friday. A LOAFER.—James Johnstone, an Irishman, who has lost his right arm, was brought before Mr. Sells charged with being in Cabb-street, White chapel, this morning for the purpose of committing a felony. A German, well-dressed, and with large beard and moustache, said the prisoner came alongside of him this morning and asked him for some money, at the same time feeling if there was any money upon him. He had no pocket on his right side, and the prisoner kept alongside of him for some time. He called a police-constable and gave the prisoner into custody. A police-constable said the prisoner was a regu lar loafer, and had been hanging about Caple street and Ratcliff-highway for some time, and preying upon sailors and drunken persons. Mr. Selfe said the prisoner was compelled to hang on to the left side of the prosecutor because he had only got one arm, the right one. It happened for tunately there was no pocket on the left side of the prosecutor and the prisoner could not get at the right band pocket. Ile sentenced the prisoner to one month's imprisonment and hard labour. Major W. F. J. Rudd, 2d battalion of the lst Royals, at Chatham, has been placed under orders to embark for India, to join the service companies of his regiment in Bombay. A telegram has been received announcing the departure of her Majesty's troopship Jumna from Bombay on the 16th inst. Her troop will be brought from Alexandria to Portsmouth in the Serapis. BIRMINGHAM CATTLE AND POULTRY SHOW.—This ;rent annual exhibition will open next week, commencing on Monday; private exhibition on Saturday. The entries are larger than on any previous occasion, exceeding those of last year (the largest at that time) by over 200. Of (tattle there are 173 entries against 122 last year ; of sheep, 100 against 82 last year; of roots, 174 against 76, not withstanding the unfavourableness of the season for roots ; of corn, 42 against 45 last year ; of poultry, 2,312 pens against 2,017 last last year ; but in pigeons there is a fall ing off, the entries numbering 445 against 565 last year. The only falling off in live stock is in the entries for pigs. of which there are only 47 entries against 81 last year• The total is 3,293 entries this year against 3,078 in 1867, The arrangements for the exhibition are very nearly com pleted. There is also a dog show in the same week, for which there are 806 entries.

PARIS, MONDAY, November 23. The accident to the Prince of Wales produced the.most alarming rumours in the city of canards, but it turned out to be a very small fact. The Prince's horse was knocked down, and of course the rider went with it, but,he sus tained the smallest amount of damage that could possibly result from such a fall. The accident did not hurt the hunter, and it decidedly benefiteci: the game, for the stag got clear off. The next day the Prim: , was able to attend a grand battne, on which occasion eight guns managed to destroy some 2,000 head of game. Life at Compiegne must be hard work. What with the " sport " that can be found in this wholesale butchery, grand dinners, endless dancing, and the like, the autumn retreat of the French Court presents a toujoers perdrix bill of fare which must soon become intolerable. It i. , well that the guests are arranged in series, and that th, Court existence of each series is brief, otherwise the ter ment of amusement would become a dire reality. The sojourn of their 'loyal llighneeses, therefore, presents very little of interest. I may mention that the Princess of Wales enjoyed the pleasure of dancing with General von Moltke, and that, next to the Prince of Wales, Marshal Bazaine is the most enthu elastic dancer at Compiegne ! The result of the legal proceedings against the Jude pendant du Centre is the event of the day. There is but this one great piece of news, and it is to be found every where. There can be no doubt that the Government have ,here received a most serious check, and have fallen into as awkward a dilemma as can evell,befall a Government which can - always resort to arbitrary measures to escape from a difficult position. The Indtpendant was cited, like the 2aris journals, for its participation in the Baudin affair but though the accusation against it was precisely th, same as in the case of the journals which have been condemned, and though the Government put forth all its power to procure a conviction, the court, to the astonish ment of everybody, acquitted the incriminated paper, after two hours' deliberation. This one acquittal will in jure the Government more than all the numerous con demnations can benefit it It is an unfortunate termina tion to an unfortunate affair. The contradictory policy of the Emperor's Ministry has not shewn to very great advantage throughout this affair; Lott this final issue, this . condemnation And acquittal of different journals for the; same offence, is an unexpectedly unfavourable termination, Nor is this all. Full reports of the proceedings against the various journals are to be published in the ford of a pamphlet. ,Of course the interference of the law will be called in here, but this will only give the pamphlet a wider circulation and greater popularity. And truly the speeches of some of the counsel for the defence are not such as the Govern ment would like to see scattered broadcast throughout France. The Baudin subscription has produced £1,200. There is a vacancy in the Senate. Baron de Chassiom is dead. 20 2L 29 30k H 12 37 971 I 1 4 / 1 . 1 0; le ld pr all 16 17 Another man of mark has been placed upon the sick list. This is Serrano, who has been severely attacked by fever. His health, which has caused great anxiety through Spain, is now improving. There is tftlk of subscribing for a magnificent mauso• leum for Rossini. Contributions will be chiefly sought Amongst artistes of all grades—literary men and the like. It is not stated whether the Government will find in this subscription a fresh condemnation of the coup d'etat. The Lanterne is still eagerly sought after. The dis covertof numerous copies in some busts of the Emperor has greatly sharpened the vigilance of the police, who pry into every thing. They cut open some meat pies the other day in the expectation of finding Lantern es, but were dis- appointed. The unhappy owner of these edibles is not likely to get any redress. A law which forbade the carrying of firearms in Corsica was repealed last session. This alteration does not appear to hive produced any very reassuring effects. Assaults, cutting and wounding, and murder have greatly increased. Of twenty-nine charges to come before the assizes, thirteen are for murder, and two cases of manslaughter. An ingenious provincial has much occupied himself of tate with experiments on milk. He finds that the milk first drawn from the cow is much poorer than that which Is obtained when the supply is well-nigh exhausted. He has demonstrated this great fact by filling several small cans with milk from one animal. That drawn last con tained by far the richest cream and the greatest amount of it.

A large and rapid increase in barometrical pressure has taken place on all coasts, except in the S. of France the change has ex ceeded Olin. at several of our stations, and the motion during the night has been greatest on our E. coast. Readings are remarkably uniform, the greatest difference reported being only o . 2in. Tempera ture is much lower everywhere : at Nairn the change has been 13de, In these islands the winds yesterday were generally moderate frog the N.W. A heavy S.E. gale prevailed in the Gulf of Lyons, where still continues : at all other stations the winds are light and varlablt The weather is fine in places, but cloudy in the south, with fog on the Channel coast. The gale on the S. o France has been accom panied by heavy rain. THE AMERICAN FIVE-TWENTY BONDS It has been stated that a majority of the members of the new Congress would be in favour of redeeming the Five-Twenty Bonds with irredeemable paper. A gentle. man, who is intimately acquainted with the opinions of American politicians, and who is one of the largest contributors in the United States to the income tax, writes as follows :—" The allegation that the next Congress will contain a majority of members whc will be in favour of ' redeeming ' the Five-Twent Bonds with irredeemable paper, is such arrant non sense, that it seems to me the story must have had it origin among stockjobbers. At the time the lette, was written, gold was steadily declining in New York in token of the belief among business men that the Republicans would be successful in Penn. sylvania, Ohio, and Indiana, as they were. I presume you have scrutinised the declared principles of the two parties, so as to know that the Republicans are not in favour of paying bonds in `greenbacks,' or of any policy which looks to a lessening of the public credit. My own opinion is that if the Democrats were successful they would not carry out the policy of paying bonds in greenbacks. They would manage toavoid it in some way. lam surprised that the London money market should be so imperfectly advised of the condition of things here." The chapter authorities of Chester will lay thn foundation stone of the restored Cathedral to morrow. The confidential clerk of Messrs. W. IL Hornby and Co., Blackburn, states that the facts of the alleged abuses of the mill have Leen much distorted. "It b true that some of the men refused to work if two Radicals were not:discharged. I refused to comply with the request, and crdered the engine to be stopped till eight o'clobk. Work was resumed after breakfast, and any person who did not return acted entirely voluntarily. There was not the slightest violence used, and the places of the very few per sons who did not return aro still open to them. The most perfect freedom is given to our workpcople of whatever shade of politics. Some surprise has been expressed that Lora Hastings' remains should have been interred at Kensal green, instead of in his ancestral vault at Donington but the choice of the former place was nmde, we believe, from the Marchioness's rooted aversion to ever seeing Doning ton again. As regards the disposition of the late Marquis's property, we believe it is as follows :—Lady Hastings \ has a marriage settlement of £2,000 a year, charged on the Rowdier' estate. All the remainder of the property, which includes the collieries (which are very slightly encumbered), the house in Grosvenor-square, Craven Lodge, the furniture, plate, books; pictures, horses, carriages, and farming stock are to be sold, and the proceeds to go to the Marchioness for her life, or unless she marries again, when they revert to his Lordship's sister Lady Constance Mardian; and to her children. The Mar chioness's jewellery is bequeathed to herself. and the wil contains no legacies to any one. 14 - 1, re j _ . SUN OFFICE, 7 O'CLOCK. NOTICE.

The arbitrators appointed under the Crown Lands Act of 1866, Mr. W. M. James and Mr. Pickering, two of her I\Jajesty's counsel, have awarded £496,000 as compensation to be paid to the laud revenue of the Crown for the transfer of the Board of Trade, for the benefit of the public, of the Crown's rights in the foreshore of the sea and of navigable tidal rivers. This sum is to be paid partly by charging upon the Consolidated Fund some four or five hundred pensions and annui ties which are probably out of the land revenue. Most of the pensions are very small. The majority of them were granted to churchmen by pension deeds of King Charles If. The Archbishop of York has three pensions of £2 16s. 81, £1 45., and £l2 12s. 2d. The Dean and Chapter of York have also three-21 10s., 16s. Bs., and £l4 17s. Bd. ; and the Dean has one of £1 to himself. The choristers of York Cathedral have also £1 a year among them. The Bishop of Winchester has 10s. for each triennial visitation. The grants to the Bishops of Carlisle, Chester, Durham, Lincoln, and Wor cester are larger; and the Welsh bishops have small grants from £3 to £l5. Several deans and chapers are on the list—Sarum Chester, Gloucester, Lincoln, Oxford, Lichfield, Here ford—the last for only 18s. 4d. A host of vicars and curates have grants of pensions rang from less than £1 lip to £lOO. The key-bearer of Hereford Cathedral has his grant of 16s. Bd. a year for ever. Masters of grammer-schools come in for their share of these grants, Oxford professors, the poor of various parishes, the owner of Cheshunt-park, one or two lords of manors; and, under a modern Act of Parliament, the Master of the Hawks has his £1,300 a year. Ireland gets but one of all the pen sions, and that is for a constable—the constable of the fort of Hillsborough. The grants to Scotland are chiefly for University professors, but one or two ministers are on the list, the minister of Dun keld receiving the price of 43 bushels of meal and a like quantity of barley under a grant from K i ng George IV. The gross amount of these pensions is £7,946 a year, or £7,210 net. They will materi ally lengthen the already long annual list of pen sions charged on the Consolidated Fund. IIE ROUTE TO TIIE PACIFIC.-1 recent traveller over the Central and Union Pacific Railroads gives an in teresting account of th e con di t i on of those important highways. It may b e ment i oned, however, first, that the journey from San Francisco to Omaha was accomplished by him in eight days, as follows :—From Green River, 815 miles west of Omaha, in 48 hours; from Salt Lake City in four days; from Wadsworth, the terminus of the Central Pacific in six and a half days, and from San Fran cisco, in eight days, as above stated, and giving four and a half days of stage travel between Wadsworth and Green River. Ilad the traveller continued his jour• ney to the eastward he would have traversed the distance from ocean to ocean in twelve days. The Central Pacific Railroad is graded within 250 miles of Salt Lako. The track is laid to Reese Rivor, and the road, it is asserted, will be operated to that point 380 miles east of Sacra mento and 270 miles west of Salt Lake before winter. Ten thousand men are pushing the work with the greatest energy, and a deficiency in the supply of rails will alone interfere with the completion of the road to Salt Lake City early in the spring. Early in November stage connections will be made at tho crossing of the llumb oldt-95 miles east of Wadsworth, the present ter minus. The company's work on the snow sheds through the Sierras and down the Truckee is nearly complete. The Union Pacific Railroad is graded through Weber and Echo canons, and very shortly the road bed will bo com pleted to Boar River, 50 miles east of Salt Lake, and it is believed the rails will be laid as far as Boar River before severe winter weather sets in. Green River, 815 miles west of Omaha, is the present passenger terminus, and Bryan will, it is alleged, b 3 the permanent terminus for the winter. The contractors aro endeavouring to lay an average of five miles of track daily before the work is sus pended for the season.—POlic Ledger. FATAL FIGHT IN LIVERPOOL.—On Saturday night two labouring men, named John Irvine and Wm. Graham, fought in Lark-lane, Liverpool. Graham in sisted on fighting, and in the struggle was knocked down, falling on his head. Soon afterwards he became insen sible, and died Ow following morning. Irvine is in cus tody.
