From the manufacturing districts the reports in dicate but little change in the general condition of trade. There are still complaints that the manufac turers of Birmingham are rather slack, and that the fresh orders being given out are small. The im provement of the iron trade in the North of Eng land is well maintained : contracts for rails are Coming in more freely, principally on former ac counts, and generally the prospects on this branch of the trade are considered good. The spinners and manufacturers of Halifax are well off for orders, and in full work, but in other districts there is not as much activity. It is reported that the Agra Bank (Limited) is prepared, on behalf of the late Agra and Master man's Bank (Limited), to anticipate payment of its promissory notes for the final instalment falling due on the 16th July, 1868, under rebate of the same rate of interest which the notes carry.

(Mortgage) Loan, 73 PRINCE LOUIS OF HESSE DARMSTADT.---The public at Darmstadt (Hesse) is much occupied with a dif ference which has arisen between the Minister of War and Prince Louis on the subject of the military convention with Prussia ; and as the result of which the Prince has resigned his commission as general of division. The Grand Duke has declined to accept this resignation ; but the Prince, under pretext of illness, has ceased to perform the duty, which causes uneasiness among a portion of the population, who fear to see a Prussian general take the vacant post. NARROW ESCAPE OF A SHIP FROM SINKING.— Plymouth, Sunday.—The Conservator, screw steamer, arrived in Plymouth Sound on Saturday, from Odessa, with wheat, for orders. On Saturday night several feet of water were found in her hold. Assistance was imme diately procured from her Majesty's ships, and the water was pumped out to-day. The Conservator's bottom has been examined by divers, but no defect was found. It is believed a valve was accidentally left open.— Reuter's Telegram. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 13, 1868. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-TINS DAY. WESTMINSTER. INTOLERABLE NUISANCES AND NICE LEGAL DISTINCTIONS.—Thomas Brooker, a boy about four teen years of age, was charged with playing at pitch-and-toss to the annoyance of the inhabitants. A policeman proved that he saw the defendant playing at pitch-and-toss on Sunday afternoon in John-street, Marlborough-road, Chelsea. Mr. Arnold asked whether defendant had been complained of by any of the inhabitants? The policeman replied that there were six or seven other boys with the defendant at the time he was apprehended, and there were continual com plaints. Mr. Arnold inquired whether the defendant parti cularly had been complained of ? Inspector M'llugo, of the B Division, said that the tradesmen and inhabitants of Chelsea had so complained of the nuisance caused by the assem blages of boys pitching and tossing during the Sun day that he had been directed to apply himself to the abatement of the nuisance. Mr. Arnold said the boy was charged with play ing at a game to the annoyance of the inhabitants. The inspector said that several of the inhabitants, it would be seen, bad signed the sheet, which showed that they complained of the annoyance. A Mr. Cutler had signed the sheet in the present case. Mr. Arnold wished to know whether he was now in attendance. The Inspector said he was not, but he could be procured if the case was adjourned. Mr. Arnold did not adjourn the case, and, ob serving that he could not conduct it without evi dence of the annoyance, discharged the boy. THE RECENI GALE. BLAKENEY (Norfolk), April 9. The sloop Richard, of Goole, was observed on the West Sands, a short distance from this harbour, with a signal of distress flying, during a strong gale from the north-east, yesterday evening (reports Mr. Charles Temple). The Brightwell lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution at this place at once went out to her through a very heavy sea, and for tunately succeeded in rescuing the crew of three men. CRomErt (Norfolk), April 9. Daring a heavy gale from the NE. this morning the schooner Agenoria, of Lowestoft, was seen rid ing at anchor about four miles to the northward of this place (says Mr. W. G. Sandford). She had lost her foretopmast and sails, and was apparently in great distress. Soon afterwards she got under weigh and endeavoured to get round the Point, but being in ballast and in a disabled state she rapidly drove to leeward, and came ashore here. The Cromer lifeboat, belonging to the National Life boat Institution, thereupon promptly proceeded to her. The first time the boat was driven on shore again by the heavy seas, but she was again launched, and with much difficulty succeeded in getting along. side the vessel, and in rescuing the crew of four men, who were safely brought ashore. The life boat's crew behaved well in this service. PAKEFIELD, April 9. The Sisters lifeboat, in connection with the Life boat Institution, was launched last night to the brigantine Douglas, of Guernsey, which was in Pakefield Road, and which had exhibited distress signals during a very strong gale from the NE., and in a heavy sea (states Capt. Preston, R.N.), On arriving alongside the vessel, the lifeboat men found that she had sprung a leak, and thinking she was in a sinking state, the water having gained on the pumps, part of the crew were taken out into the lifeboat, but were subsequently returned to the ship. With the help of the lifeboat men and a steamtug the vessel was then freed from water, and was towed into Lowestoft Harbour. She was on a voyage from Shields to St. Vaast, with a cargo of coals. MOELFRE (Anglesey), April 9. The smack Cymro, of Cmlwych, bound from Con way to Red Wharf, near this place, in ballast, was riding in the bay in a dangerous position yesterday (states the Rev. Evan Jones), and ultimately ex hibited signals of distress. It was blowing very hard from the east at the time. The London Sun day School lifeboat, belonging to the National Life boat Institution, was at once launched, and happily succeeded in bringing the smack's crew of two men safely ashore. Within an hour of landing the crew the vessel parted from her anchors, came on the rocks, and soon went to pieces. WHITHERNSEA (near Hull), April 8. R. Champney, jun., Esq., states that early yes terday morning three of the fishing boats went out to sea, but made for the land again before twelve o'clock. There was a heavy roll of the sea, with a sweeping tide and broken surf at the time, but little wind. It not being safe for the boats to come through the surf, the two fishing boats, which were then in sight, were warned off, and the Pelican life boat, of the National Lifeboat Institution, was at once launched, and the men safely brought ashore. The third boat went farther south to a yawl off Ilolmpton, and her crew are safe. PORTUGAL. LISBNO, April 3. This afternoon, at one o'clock, his Majesty re ceived in public audience, at the Palace of Ajuda, Sir Charles Murray, recently appointed Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of her Britannic Majesty to the Court of Portugal, and afterwards the Marquis Oldoini, Envoy Extraordi nary and Minister Plenipotentiary of his Majesty the King of Italy. The Ministers of State and high officials were present. Sir Charles Murray, in placing his credentials in the hands of his Majesty, said : " I have the honour to present to your Majesty the letters by which the Queen, my august Sove reign, accredits me to you, and I am happy to avail myself of this opportunity to offer to your Majesty the assurances of the constant friendship of the Queen, and the expression of her sincere good wishes for the happiness of your Majesty and your family and for the prosperity of your kingdom. I hope, sire, my respectful endeavours will render me worthy of the august goodwill of your Majesty, wherein I shall find a powerful encouragement to carry out the object of my mission, which is to main tain the relations of friendship and mutual interests which King have repliedso between Portug a l an d G rea t Britain." The " Sir,—l highly appreciate the reiterated proofs I receive of the sen ti ments o f goodwill with which your gracious Sovereign the Queen is animated to wards me and all that concerns me. Anxious to respond to them, it gives me pleasure to assure you that all my efforts will tend to maintain unchanged the bonds of friendship and harmony which so hap pily exist between the two Crowns, and that my wishes will constantly be for the happiness of her Britannic Majesty, and for the prosperity of the noble nation whose destinies are entrusted to her. It is therefore with lively satisfaction that I receive the letters by whi c h t h e Q ueen accredits you as her representative at my Court. The selection w hi ch it has pleased her M a j es t y t o make of a person so recommendable by the qualities which distinguish burn, and his devotion to the service of his august Sovereign, cannot be otherwise than agreeable to me and guarantee to him my best wishes." The Marquis Oldoini, in presenting his credentials, addressed his Majesty as follows :-- "The K i ng , my august Sovereign, has deigned to accredit me as his Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to your Majesty, and to intrust to me the honourable mission of representing Italy in Portugal, a mission to me doubly pleasant, as, in addition to diplomacy, it is a family mission. The close bonds of relationship and of friendship which have so long connected the dynasty of Savoy with that of Braganza, now strengthened by the august tie which conn ects your Majesty with a princess of Italy, impose upon me a high duty, and I have been especi a lly ordered to express to your Majesty the sincere and cordial good wishes of the King my master. The common origin of the two peoples, and the similarity of their insti tutions, render it an easy task for me to foster the interests of the two countries, and to maintain be- tween the two Crowns and the two Governments that intimacy of relations which already exists, founded upon so solid and durable a basis.

PORTSMOUTH, Monday Afternoon. The town crowded to excess. All up to the-pre sent gone on well. The corps arrived in good order. Weather all that can be desired. The re view just commenced—promises to be a great success. The greatest enthusiasm is prevalent throughout the town. ARRIVAL OF THE RIFLE CORPS AT WATERLOO TERMINUS. Long before four o'clock the various main tho roughfares leading to the Waterloo-road terminus of the London and South-Western Railway pre sented scenes of great bustle and animation, owing to the large number of persons who had left the arms of Morpheus for the purpose of witnessing the marching past of the Volunteers to that station. The whole of the houses in which refreshments could be obtained, including public-houses, coffee shops, ham and beef shops, and even cigar dealers and to bacconists, were thrown open to the public some hours earlier than usual, and, judging from the crowded state of the different establishments, it is but reasonable to suppose that our metropolitan caterers did a considerable amount of profitable business. The first corps that marched to the station was the Surrey Artillery, the band playing along the Kennington and London roads a variety of lively airs. The martial music had the effect of arousing those who had not received any intimation of the proceedings, and nearly every window was opened, and the half-dressed occupants made their appear ance and cheered lustily the band as it passed along. At a given signal an order was given that the band was to cease playing, and the whole of the rank and file marched through the entrance of the station and took up their position on the platform. O wing to the admirable arrangements made by the L divi sion of police under Inspector Heath and officers of the company no inconvenience was experienced by the men in getting into the carriages assigned them. The Scottish volunteers with their band and bagpipes playing excited considerable attraction, and they were loudly applauded along the route. The dif ferent other brigades followed in rapid succession, and only a few minutes sufficed to allow each man to take his seat in the carriages allotted to him. By five o'clock nearly the whole of the corps had taken farewell of London for the day, and they were steaming down the line for Portsmouth. 0 wing to the admirable arrangements made at the terminus not a single accident took place. LONDON BRIDGE. The same excellent arrangements were made by the directors of the Brighton and South Coast Rail way Company. The interest at this terminus ap peared if anything greater than at Waterloo. Each corps' band played until they arrived within a short distance of the station, and as the troops passed along they were vociferously cheered. As is always the case on similar occasions, many of the Volun teers were too late to march with the regiment, and they contented themselves by running to the sta tions, so as to catch the trains set apart for the members of their corps. MARKETS—(This Day.) MARLBORO UGH-STREET. A SOLICITOR CHARGED WITH ASSAULTS AND WILFUL DAMAGE.-Mr. Edward Frampton, solici tor, staying at Bentolini's Hotel, St. Martin's street, was charged before Mr. Mansfield with being drunk, and assaulting James Wright, the beadle of Burlington-arcade, and William Holden, 58 C ; and he was further charged with breaking six panes of glass, value 5.?., in the cell at the Vine street police-station. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, appeared for the defence. John Wright, the beadle of Burlington Arcade, said—On Satarday afternoon between five and six o'clock I saw the prisoner in the Burlington Arcade, and as he was drunk I spoke to him in a quiet manner, telling him that persons in a s ate of in toxication were not allowed in the place. Upon which the prisoner made no more to do but up with his fist and struck me a blow on the nose, making it bleed. I attempted to put him out of the Arcade, when he struck me several times about the face. After that a constable came up, and the prisoner assaulted him also, and behaved in a very rough manner, and they had some trouble in getting him to the station. By Mr. Lewis—The prisoner did not hit me very hard. They were not such blows as a sober man would give, and he did not suppose if the pri soner had been sober he would have done it. The prisoner did not ask to be allowed to go up the Arcade. I did not push the prisoner before he struck me. The prisoner could have either turned back or gone forward. All I wanted was to get him out of the Arcade. Police-constable William Holden, 58 C.--On going to the lower part of the Arcade on Saturday evening I saw the prisoner in a fighting attitude, and the beadle, whose nose was bleeding, gave him into custody for assaulting him. I took hold of the prisoner by the arm and told him that he must go to the police-station, and directly I did so he struck me several times on the forehead, and also on the body, and became very violent. With assistance I got him to the station, but on the way he struck me several times. By Mr. Lewis—l have a mark on my forehead, and had I not got close to the prisoner I should have been hurt more. Mr. Lasana, architect, of Shrublaud-road, Dal stop, who was passing at the time, proved seeing the prisoner strike the beadle and the constable. By Mr. Lewis —The beadle, before trying to eject the prisoner, said " I am not going to have you in here drunk." The prisoner struck about like a drunken man. When the constable walked up to the prisoner the latter was walking quietly and straight. Inspector Bason—The prisoner was brought to the station on Saturday evening for assaulting the beadle of the Arcade and the constable. He was very violent, and some persons came to the station and complained of being assaulted by him, but did not press the charges. While in the cell he took off his boot and smashed six panes of glass of the value of ss. Mr. Lewis addressed the magistrate on behalf of the prisoner, stating that he had come from Bath on Saturday, and had gone into the City to meet some friends, with whom he took more than was good for him, and that afterwards he went into the Arcade, and what with the pushing about he got and the knocking which he gave to the others, he became much worse, hence the unfortunate position he was then in. Mr. Mansfield fined the prisoner 40s. for each assault, and orderel him to pay the damage and a fine of Is.--in all £,4 6s. THAMES. STEALING A GOLD WATCH AT A RAILWAY STATION.-At 12 o'clock this day an important in quiry was commenced respecting the guilt or inno cence of Mr. Hiarn M•Cue, aged 22 years, who has hitherto maintained a very goad character. He is a clerk in the service of Mr. Crane, a tea merchant, of Love-lane, City. On the 4th instant the 11ev. John Joseph Halcomb, of the Charter House, was on the way to the University boat race in a third-class carriage on the underground railway. The carriage was very much crowded. He looked for his watch while on the way to Hammer smith and found it had been stolen. The gold chain was still attached to his waistcoat. On Saturday night the prisoner was shown to the prosecutor among 11 or 12 others. He believed he was very much like a man in the railway carriage when he missed his watch, and he was now directed to look at him, and in answer to a question by Mr. Benson, said that if he was asked to select the man who was alongside of him when he missed his watch he should select the prisoner if 20 others were present, but he would not swear to him. The watch was valued at £2O. He had it in his possession 21 years. Micah Harvey, 276 .A.„R, a police sergeant, said he took the prisoner into custody at the shop of Mr. Spiegelhalter, a watch and clock maker, Mount place, Whitechapel-road. The prisoner's wife took it to the shop, and wanted a new bow to be made and attached to it on Thursday last. The prisoner said he bought the watch of a man in the Red Lion, Whitechapel, on Saturday, the 4th of the present month. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor for the prisoner, said he was a respectable man, of great integrity, and that he had told the truth about the manner he became possessed of the watch, for which he gave £2 17s. 6d. Mr. Stephen Crane, wholevle grocer and tea merchant, No. 7, Love-laue, Eastcheap, said the prisoner was in the warehouse attending to his usual duties at half-past nine o'clock on the morn ing of the 4th of the present mouth. Mr. Charles Young—What was his time to be in the warehouse ? Mr. Crane—At nine o'clock. Mr. Charles oung—The watch was stolen soon after half-past 9 o'clock, and the prisoner was then in his master's warehouse. Mr. Crane.—lhe prisoner has been in my ser vice three years. After a lengthened investigation Mr. Benson fined the prisoner 20s. for the unlawful possession of the watch, and it was delivered to the owner. GENERAL POST-OFFICE. — The estimates in 1866 and 1867 included votes amounting to 0£314,000 for the purchase of a site for additional offices in St. Martin's-le- Grand. The estimates now before the House of Commons propose a further vote of £20,000, part of an estimated cost of £150,000 for the erection of the proposed new offices. CORN.

The first of the six meetings which are held at New market during the year will commence to-day, but, un fortunately, not under such flattering auspices as those which inaugurated the Craven Meeting of 1867. The most attractive day's racing will be on Tuesday, when, besides the Newmarket Handicap, the Teeth New market Biennial Stakes, the Sale and Beacon Stakes will also be brought to issue. There is nothing in my opinion likely to oppose THE PARSON and CouwrmANTLE for the Sweepstakes of 100 sovs each, with the least chance of success, and I give a slight preference to Lord Falmouth's colt. The most likely competitors for the Tenth Bien nial Stakes are St. Ronan, the Earl, Blue Gown, the Par son, Suffolk, and Europa. My opinion has always been that St. Ronan would grow into a really first-class three year-old, but it is rather early in the season for him. The Earl will take a great deal of beating for this event. Blue Gown may run, but recent market operations do not say much for his chance. I think THE EARL is certain to turn out the winner. Suffolk is too uncer tain to take my fancy. Europa was a first-class filly last year, but as I do not know what condition she may be in since Sir Reginald Graham purchased her at the Duke of Beaufort's sale it is out of my power to recommend her. From a careful examination of the weights of the dif ferent animals engaged in the Newmarket Handicap, I feel convinced the winner is likely to be produced from a elect few, viz., Colt by Toxophilite out of Miss Sarah, Flying Sew], Cauthleen, Blueskin, Beauclerk, filly by Malcolm out of Mancsuvre, Demonstration, and Nyanza. The colt by Toxophilite, who is honoured with topweight, is by no means out of the race ; indeed, presuming Flying Scud is au absentee, I shall not be at all surprised to see him Cie absolute winner ; but, should the Duke of New castle run his horse, I should certainly give him the pre ference. Cauthleen has disappointed the stable several times already this season, and I expect to see her per form more respectably later on in the season. There is no doubt the Metropolitan winner is a fair class animal, still be can have no chance of beating the Manoauvre filly (who ran second to him at Espom), on this occasion, the difference in weight (151b5.) being so much against him. Beauclerk has not too much weight ,o complain of, and ought to finish amongst tho firs three. Demonstration will stay every yard of the way. Nyanza, too, if she starts, will improve on her City and Suburban running, where sho was nearly last off, and looked at tho finish as much like staying as anything in the race. My final vote must be in favour of THE MANCEUVRE FILLY and BEAUCLERK. The Sale Stakes ought to turn out a certainty for PYRENEES, Whilst NYANZA. should be able to defeat hor opponents in the Sweepstakes of 100 sovs. each, and FLOWER GIRL will make short work with her opponents for the Beacon Stakes. On Wednesday, I fancy ARTESIAN for The Selling Sweepstakes of 25 sovs. each, Criterion Course. The Sweepstakes of 25 sovs. each—last-half of R.M.—will be s match between BnoTHEn TO POLE-AXE and LURE, and I prefer the Baron's colt. There aro only seven sub scribers to the Column Stakes, and it is a difficult matter to choose between such an indifferent lot; MAESLLWCH, however, must represent my interest. The Sweepstakes of 50 sovs. each, T.Y.C., will most likely be a walk over for PEARL FEATHER, and a similar Sweepstakes for fillies should go to PYRENEES. The majority of Thursday's events are easily foretold, as LADY COVENTRY is sure to beat Lictor for the Sweep stakes of 50 sovs. each, R. M. ; QUEEN OF BEAUTY will win the Asko Produce Stakes; lIELVELLYN, a Sweepstakes of 100 sovs. each, D. M. ; The EARL, a Sweepstakes of 100 sovs. each, D. M. ; and HELVELLYN may also win a second Sweepstakes of 100 sovs each, D. Af., as they are a bad lot engaged. SISTER TO HERMIT should give a good account of herself for the Abingdon Stakes, and FRIPON NIER for the Claret Stakes. The winner of the Ninth Newmarket Biennial Stakes is easily selected if he starts, although probably Vauban, The Hermit (71b extra), Wroughton, and several others may run. I have not the slightest hesitation in awarding this rich prize to the best four year old in England, and that will turn out to be JULIUS. There are only three races to notice for Friday, and of these Lord Stamford's selected, HELVELLYN or CHARN WOOD, ought to win the Bennington Stakes ; PACE, the Sweepstakes of 100 sous each ; and JuLius or VAUBAN the Port Stakes.
