The 6tock Exchange is closed to-day, according to custom, in consequence of the shutting of the Transfer Offices at the Bank, for the purpose of striking the lair -yearly balances. The Bank return shows some indications of an in creasing demand for money, in a falling off in the reserve, combined with an increase in private securities, and a diminution in the private deposits. The cir culation is consequently higher. The bullion has slightly enlarged, and the reserve amounts to nearly eleven millions and a half. If this position is main tained, the rate of discount will not be charged, inas much as the reserve is moderately strong, and the securities stand at less than the recent average. The following are the principal changes since the Drevior return : Increase in Circulation - £203,936 Increase in Public Deposits Decrease in other Deposits No change in amount of Government Securities. Increase in other Securities Increase in Bullion Increase in Rest 3,991 Decrease in Reserve • • ••• •• 105 299 Billion in both Departments Reserve of Notes and Coin 11,481,781 Circulation, including Bank Post Bills 24,616,853 The following is the return of Paid Clearing for the Week ending Wednesday, April 29, as certified by ll'.

The demand for discount this morning is firm. at 2 per cent. The Stock Exchange being closed, there is no busi ness to report in stocks or shares. The following notification has been received from the Bank of England, dated Ist May, 1868 :—Notice is hereby given that in order to prepare the dividends due on the sth July, 1868, the balances of the several accounts in the following Funds will be struck on the night of Tuesday, the 2nd June, 1868, viz.:--f3 per Cent.

A small failure has taken place on the Stock Exchange. There were no bullion operations at the Bank yester (lV. The following is a review of the bullion market by Messrs. Mocatta and Goldsmid :—" The demand for silver for the East having for the present quite subsided, th e market has - become flat, and the price has fluctuated between 6( *1 and 600, at which rates purchases have been effected for the Continent. Mexican dollars remain at 590, but without much animation, and it is doubtful -whether the large amounts now on the way will realise this quotation. The shipments of gold expected to arrive shortly from and though lustr a li a and from the United States are very large. Thered but a very mod era t e d eman d f or exportat i on J 1 American eagles and some other descrip tions are purchased for transmission to France, 'utmost all the bar gold w hi c h i s rece i ve d i s t a k en to the B ank. ,, ,The Stock Exchange Committee have appointed of Wednesday May 6, a special settling day in the Scrip the Six per Cent.

BLACKWOOD. —" Historical Sketches of the Reign of George the Second—The Man of the World" is the subject of the first article met with. Chesterfield is the hero of the sketch, here described as the urbane and polished statesman, orator, and moralist,' but, above all, man of the world." The reader will be pleased to meet with this graphic account of a man so p;orninent in his generation. It is worthy of comment that in this paper Chester . - field's letters are not made the prominent theme of discussion ; these, it is said, are within everybody's reach, but they are not so wonderful, so unique, or so manifold as was the man. " Linda Tressel" is concluded very sadly, as might have been ex pected from the prior portions of the story, and the conduct of her cruel aunt may well serve as a warn ing to worldly-minded relatives who will inter fere to mar the prospects of others. This tale is ably de:3cribe,l, and some of the characters are well draWn. The adventures of the upfertunate heroine herself arc told in a simple and yet effective style that cannot fail to impress. " ilorse Flesh" is a paper t!iat wilt suit some readers ; it refers to the new mode practised by some of eating the n.eat hit'terto reeerved for dogs and starving garrisons. Some of the comments are curious and well-timed, aul at any rate the subject referred to has takes up so much time that these remarks are quite appropriate just now. " The Lucky Tom Griffin, his Love and his Leek," is the first part of a now story that is written in an animated style, and is likely to please the lovers of the humorous. " The Odes of Horace" is continued from the last num ber of this periodical, and in this part we find spe cimens of the metre in which it is proposed to translate the Odes. These will be most interesting, alike to the scholar and the reader of culti vated tastes, and form a brilliant addition to the contents of this number. Mr. Gladstone and the Irish Church figure prominently in the political article, and of course the right hon. gentle man does not come in for a large meed of applause. " Cornelius O'Dowd's" reflections are as quaint as usual. " Country Grammar School" is an article that is worthy of notice when the educational question is the order of the day, and some useful reforms are suggested in the way of extending progress. BELGRAVIA.—"Dead Sea Fruit" is continued, and tells of Lucy's farewell to the stage, and other matters of interest. " Disagreeable People" is a brief sketch, that is original, at any rate, and the reader is recommended to try and like them, as so many must be met with in the world. The study of the class, wide and varied as it has been, leaves the writer at fault as to whether we can be disagreeable without knowing it. There is a good deal of truth in the sum ming-up of this sketch, that vanity and selfishness are at the bottom of it all, and that these disagree able people play after all a losing game in the world's history. " London Palaces" present us with Buckingham Palace, and Kensington Palace, which has been described in Sybil as the palace in a garden, where came the voice that told the maiden she must ascend her throne. "An Old Venetian Sketch" is a very pleasing one, and transports one iu fancy to the glorious city of St. Mark. " Cosmetics for the Hair" is a paper that is most appropriate at this moment, and all sensible people will heartily agree with the remarks here made, that it is a silly. ractice, and withal prejudi cial. Better remain as we are than have recourse to these stupid disfigurements. An instalment of " Charlotte'stlnheritance" is met with, and " Diana Gay" is likewise proceeded with. COLDUIIN'S UNITED SERVICE.—The number for May deals rather more in the imaginative ideal than fact, not that imagination is not highly interesting when founded on fact, however plausible it may sometimes appear. " Education of our Troops'' begins the number, and it considers the system in its working satisfactory on the whole. There is a greater variety of expert habits necessary in the effective soldier than in the exploits of the rough working labourer, for attention is ,the first duty of the soldier, which bec Aries with him a mechanical art in his first lesson, whether it be in book learning or in rifle shooting. In "A Gentleman Cadet" which follows tho artillery officer is s tid to require much the same education as the engiacer, for their duties are much akin. It is also considered that it would be an alsraut tge to have in struction given more by lecture than by learning by rote from a book, as the former makes a greater impression. This may be doubtful, bat as Dean Swift said— "To give a young man a good o lucation, Thu army is the very best school in the nation." " Naval Herois m " cou ld no t fi n d a more fitting exemplar than in the deeds of our gallant tars, as the " Captain of the Mizentop's Yarn" will here after attest. "Po r t smou th i n t h e Si xteen th Cen tury" would not rec ogn i se i ts f e ll ow i n the nine teenth.i As to " O ur C ava l ry R emoun t s ," it s rather amusing to be told that there is no two colonels in the service, however kind at heart or disposition, who will be found to agree on the bes t mode of breaking in young horses. If one is for warm stabling and gentle treatment, the Other considers such horsemanship as cod dling, while another thinks that instead of taking a month or two in teaching a young colt how to behave himself, ho would recom mend the Mexican-Indian fashion, who catch, saddle, and break their horses in in an afternoon I Cer tainly in the matter of education one ought not to be ashamed to learn a good thing from any quar ter. As to th e ar ti c l e on " B raz i l an d P aragua y we think the writer has been paying his court to the seat of empire at Rio de Janeiro, where all the victories are stereotyped exactly as they would wish them to turn out. But perhaps he may find out his mistak e b e f ore another revolution enlightens his judgment. We h ope t h e P araguayans may tr i ump h and prosp er , and that commericial freedom may ' extend all over South America for the benefit of the people, and the utter extinction of slavery. COLBURN'S NEW AIONTIILy MAGAZINE.—The new monthly opens with a discussion on a daily mail route to India, which it declares to be a perfectly feasible project by a variety of roads, only needing capital to question whichwillcfionnde u i d t e v s e b r y y sfttriol lnyedyisrcencsostendmienndtiliiiigs carry out the work s . Th ose who are interested in the artiel e , the Euphrates Valley route. The " Deepdale Mys tery" is brought to a conclusion, not before the time. The latter part of the story is as improbable as the first in a different way. Francis Jacox, as usual, contributes a discursive paper, enriched by a good many quotations; but he takes hi s cue this time from Crabbe. A visitor to Lower Canada gives us an account of his impressions of the country and of the Falls. There are several other articles of more or less merit, besides the continuation of two or three romances. Nicholas Michell, in an agreeable little poem, contrasts the rival charms of "Town and Country Beauties." BENTLEY.—There is a pleasant collection of mis cellaneous reading in this month's number. '• Prest wood Papers" is continued, and the seventh part discusses Monsieur Jourdain, " his mercantile pedigree, his unconscious facility in prosd, and his fencing bout with Nicole." Dean S.anley's his torical memorials of Westminster Abbey form the subject of a very interesting criticism. L3adoners will henceforward know better how to appreciate their venerable Abbey. TEMPLE BAR.—" Steven L'twrence, Yeoman," is brought to a conclusion, and this last portion of it is most interestingly told. The reader finds him self brought. face to face with active life awl real feeling, after the glare of gaiety and the hollowness of fashionable life. The scene in the kitchen, where Seven lay apparently dying, is most impressively described ; the presence which sets ceremony at naught was upon Ashert, " and the convention alities of the world laid aside." A new story is commenced, called " Kitty ;" it promises well, - and has some attractive characters. " The Story of Adeline" is a sad one, but it presents a warning to the giddy and perverse to abide by the counsels of those wiser than themselves. " Recollections of a Yroviucial Editor" are curious and are sure to attract attention. "Cuxiositiel Of Marriage Law and Ritual" contain some noticeable incidents connected with the subject. " Cousin Fanny, or a New Year's Gift," is a pleasing sketch. A Lost Name "is concluded, and is equal to its predecessor in vivid ness of style and vigour of description. "On Lake Nicaragua" is an agreeable description, that gives an account of that part of the country in a style sure to please, and - contains striking adven tures. " The Knight of lunishowen" is a lively paper, and the verses, " Westward, Ho !" are very charmingly written, and really well done for that style of thing. The contents of this number are varied, and present much to attract different classes of readers. MACMILLAN.—This number opens with a poem by the Laureate, respecting which the proprietors seem to be especially jealous. It is not in Mr. Tennyson's happiest vein, and will scarcely succeed in touching the general heart. More satisfac tory is the fresh instalment of Mr. Helps's " Realtnah," where the pleasant " Friends in Council' hold their old disput:!s and discus sions. Miss Joyce's " Chaplet of Pearls" proceeds with- unabated interest. Ttle poor young French bride has disappeared with her protectors, all seemingly involved in one of the terrible catas trophes incidental to civil war. Tae reader, how ever, cherishes a hope th it fortune may yet smile on Berenger and Eastacie. The author of "Julia Halifax, Gentleman," contributes a pleasant . paper on " A City at Play," and Thomas Wentworth Higginson of Newport gives us some details of the American lecture system. " Workmen on the Thames and Elsewhere " is the title of au essay which deserves serious attention, while there is no fear that the account of the Abyssinian Expedition, given by Mr. Markham, the geographer to the Expedition, and-secretary to the Royal Geographical Society, will want for readers. THE OAK. Part have here the, first part of a new and pleasant serial, which promises well for the future. It has several wall-kuo•va names, among its coatributors, and has had the good for tune to secure the graphic pencil of Gaorge Cruikshank as au illustrator. The old story of the philosopher and the acorn furnishes an appropriate frontispiece to the first number of " 'rho Oak." TIIE IRISH CHURCH. SPORTING IN fELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING. THURSDAY. THE ONE THOUSAND GUINEAS. About one quarter of the excitement and barely a tithe of the people who spread themselves over the heath on Tuesday characterised " the ladies', day" at Newmarket The field for the One Thousand promised to be small, as it generally is, but of a better quality than usual, though our "quality" has received such a rude shock lately one ought to be chary on giving an opinion on the subject. So much was said about the dust yesterday, and so much inconvenience felt from it, that a cart was procured to-day and the precincts of the stand wore watered. It was a simple tLing, but so conservative is Newmarket that we are not sure it was nut regarded as en innovation. Only eight cathe to the post for the One Thousand Guineas, and of cour::.e F.,rniosa was the favourite, though a good deal of money went on Lady Coventry. The race was won so easily that it needs little denription. Athena, Franchise, and Lady Covl , ntry made most of the running, and For mosa came out and WOO ill a cantor when Fordham dropped his hands. A much easier sir sir has scarcely been seen. Athena was second and Lady Coventry third. The remilt 'does nut throw much more light on the Derby than the race on Tuesday, as Formusl's victory was one over non-stayers. • A Sweepttalws of 100 sovs each, h ft, for three year old colts;.B3t tillb each ; the wivaor of the Two Thousand G.►iaeas S'a'tes 71b extra; It.M. ; 4 sn' , s.

The start was delayed some time in consequence of Ben- voglio repeatedly breaking away, and running to the brow of the hill before he could be stopped. At last an opportunity offering Mr. M‘George despatched them on their journey to au admirable start, the 21 runners getting away nearly abreast, and ran so to the brow of the hill, when they separated, and the running was then taken up by Pero, in company with Peggy, Rampart, Lsdy Blanche filly, and Jasper, in the centre of the course, Lucifer and Marmite, on opposite sides, being their immediate fol lowers. These positions were retained over Bushes-hill, but half-way down the two leaders disappeared from the front, and Jasper, with Montbar, held a slight lead into the Abingdon mile bottom, when they in turn gave way, and Lucifer, full of running, came out in company with Marmite, but the latter dying away half-way in the rails left Luciter to canter home the winner by fiv e lengths; a bad third. Montbar was fourth, Furious fifth, Rampart sixth, Jasper seventh, and Angus next. Th e last lot were Bonvoglio, Ines, Romping Girl, and Gloiro de Dijon.

Wile on the left of these wore seen the colours of Lady Hig - hthorn, Virtue, and Sister to Ascham, with Mysotis in the rear. No material alteration iu these positions was observable until they entered the dip, when Franchise gave way. Fordham at the same time unproved his position by drawing up to the girths of Mr. Padwick's filly, the pair running in company half-way in the cords. Hero the leader and Lady Coventry gave unmistakable evidence of tiring, when Fordhatu brought up the favourite, who had them beaten in the next half dozen strides, and cantered home the winner by throc lengths. A similar distance separated the second and third. Lady Highthorn was an indifferent fourth, a head in advance of Virtue; Franchise was sixth, Sister to Ascham, seventh, and Mysotis last, widely separated.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-THIS DAY. MIRLBOROUGH-STREET. EXTRAORDINARY CAsE.—Thomas Burnham, de scribed as a Wood-Cutler, of the Sussex hotel, Bouverie-street, Fleet-street, was charged befo re Mr. Knox with being concerned with another man, not in custody, iu stealing from the person of Mr. Robert Southwell Greene Nugent, of No. 5, Sussex-place, York-road, Lambeth, 20s. iu silver. Mr. E. Lewis, of Great Marlborough - street, ap peared for tha prosecution, and in opening the case said that if his instructions were correct, the rob bery with which the prisoner was charged was one of the most daring ever committed—the other man not in custody having seized the prosecutor's arms and held hint while the prisoner took 20s. in silver from his trousers pocket, at seven o'clock, in Windmill-street. The Prosecutor —Yesterday evening about seven o'clock I went into the Catherine Wheel public house, iu Windmill-street, and ou my coming out of the house a man seized my arms while the priso ner took a pound's worth of silver from my trowsers pocket and also my purse, but I to )1t my purse from him. They then made away, but I afterwards saw the prisoner and gave him into custody, . _ _ Tile Prisoner —Haw you not soca in,: More? Prosecator--'i;o. The Prisoner—Ara you not a " welcher," and one of those who " pick tip" persons and never " part" (pay)? • Prosecutor--No. I was not quarrelling about a bet with a person, and refusing to pay. Frederick Buckingham, 149 A It —Abou t a quar ter to 9 the prisoner was given into iny custody at the Catherine Wheel, a house which is frequect:d by welchers. The prisoner said, " Where is the other man gone to?" and then toll me he knew nothing of the affair. The Prisoner --I was all day drunk, but I believe the affair arose out of a bet. The prosecutor I know intimately, and he is telling a parcel of lies. The prisoner gas dipxharged. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. S.lll,—Well, the apposition are determined to go on wasting the time and energies of this exhausted and dying Parliament. Not oue particle of wit or wisdom will they learn or be taught. But now another most important question forces itself upon our notice, and that is, chi ()ono, what is the use of their Irish Church motion during the present ses sion and by this existing Parliament ? Can it be possible that Lord Russell and Mr. Gladstone are so ignorant of the history of their country as not to know that there are, and always have been, such periods as exceptional sessions, i.e., sessions when it was utterly impossible to bring forward any really great and important measures of reform and pro gress. What progress did Catholic Emancipation or Parliamentary Reform make during that old, long French war, from 1793 to the ever-memorable and decisive battle of Waterloo in 1815, a period of well nigh a quarter of a century ? But it was n9t on this account that those two great and important measures were not deemed necessary and essential. It was simply because the nation was by far too much engaged in the great wur then raging to give proper attention to them. As I remarked in my last letter to you a month ago there is a time for all things, and the present is about the very worst time that could by any possibility have been selected for the discussion of the Irish Protestant Church. The great Lord Chesterfield lays it down that a favour may be conferred in such a manner that it will amount to the grossest insult that can possibly be offered. And all Roman Catholics who possess any memory of the behaviour of the Whigs towards their own body during the last 20, 30, or 40 years, cannot possibly arrive at any other conclusion than that the present conduct of the Whigs in bringing forward the question of the endowment or diien dowment of the Irish Protestant Church is at once a direct insult to their entire body. Why, in the name of common sense, did they never bring for ward the question during the 30 years they were in power fur they have been at least in office during fully those above -named number of years during the present century since their first accession to ohlice in November, 183 j, after their long residence on the Opposition benches. 1:full well remember, 17 years ago, in 1851, the year of our ever-memorable Great Exhibition, when the whole Roman Catholic body, both in England and Ireland, were foaming, and justly foaming, with indignation at Lord Rus sell's insolent Durham Letter of the previous (November, 18.30). I say I perfectly wellremem ber hearing a Roman Catholic priest, a personal acquaintance of mi ne , ca ll L or d John Russell, as he then was, a politi ca l t i nker, b ecause , thi s a f orest id priest said, h e s i mp l y made us . z of Catholicism to suit his own politi ca l ends. N ow, I b eg l eave to as k, would Lord Ru sse ll , or any o f hi s po li t i ca l f r i en d s , have dared to bring forward such a question as is now exciting such a discussion in 1850 or 1851 ? No ; he would no more have thought of doing such a thing than of driving a coach and six over the moon. The country would have been up in arms in a moment, so great and strong was the Protestant feeling at that time, brought on in a great measure by Lord Russell's violent Durham letter. It suited the Whigs at that time to toady to the ultra-Pro testants. Now, however, as the fashion of this hiiaiil'mylialt.twheteiyhlyNle first profitable op world passeth away, and all the angry ultra-Pro testant feelings of 1850, 1851, and 1852 havepassed away, and are consigned to the tomb of all the Capulets, Lord Russell finds it very convenient to return to all his of 1 Catholic sympathies of the days of his youth. It is a good thing there are people in the world with good memories in order to remind their Roman Catholic fellow-subjects what has been the conduct of Lord Russell towards them during the last 30 years—how he betrayed them at the first profitable opportunity, and as on the principle that what man has done once there is a fair pro')ability he will do again, solar and lunar cycles, the rising and setting of the as our doings come round like the sun, the new and full moons, the full and low tides, figures in circulating decimals, or any of those cer tain and immutable laws which an all-wise Creator has laid down for the everlasting benefit of his creature man, I entreat Roman Catholics of Great Britain to put not their trust in Whigs or IVhiggery, for there is no health, strength, or confidence to be are, as the old song in 1868, as in Now, in of the Ca tholics, to the side of t p l says,hB la o2 c ic, d stn:h l a n ee nryaedlnlyvyda doubtless fooling, of bt t to e sag t : ge t tta . t therefore, let me earnestly en pulotrrtaufirtyot.estAat;taisina: treat the Catholics not to let the serpent sting them twice.

POPULATION OF CHICAGO.—In the last report of the Superintendent of the Chicago Public Schools a table is given showing the right of the pupils, which exhibits quite a different distribution of nationalities from any of the eastern cities, and therefore may be worth noticing. Tho total population of Chicago in October, 1866, was 200,418 ; the number of children between six and twenty one was 53,100, and of enrolled pupils 27,260. Of the let ter, next to those born in the city itself, the largest number were from New York, namely, 2,912, and this .preponder ance seems to have existed for several years, amounting to 3,045 in 1860, and 4,460 in 186 L Tuo total number from New England in 1866, was only 1,321, of which Massachu setts claims one-half. From the four Middle States the total number was 3,554, and the Western States, excluding Illinois, have about 4,000. Of those _of foreign birth the la• gest numbers aro from Germany, England ranking second, Canada third, and Ireland fourth. Since 1830 the number of foreign births has diminished, excepting Canadians, who have doubled in that time. Of other nations the Norwegians stand fifth i n number,Bohemians and Scots next, Swedes, Danes, Dutch, Welsh, and French follow in order. It is singular that there are so many Bohemians; they are scarcely to be found in New York, but it is probable they emigrate in a colony. P roport i on of natives is iu Europe, esofnN°erhtli;rrollateri especially of Norway an d Sweden, Illinois than in any other State, excepting Wisconsin and Michigan.

The SolieitJr-Gcneral having replied on the whole case, His Lordship, in his remarks to the jury, con. tended that the existence of the Fenian conspiracy, and the prisoner's connection with it, bad been clearly established by the evidence that had been adduced during the trial. Not a word of the learned Solicitor-General's ad dress was lost by Burke, who occasionally started from his seat to jot down a note or two on the memorandum paper place," on the ledge of the dock before him. During a portion of the speec'i he leant, over the rail with his head resting on one hand and gazed intently at they learned counsel, smiling scornfully at s.nne of the more pointed re ferences made to himself. jury retired to consider the verdict at ten minutes past live, and returned into court after an absence of twenty minutes. They found both Burke and Shaw guilty. Burke, Nviteuasked if he had anything to say why sentence should not pass, expressed his gratitude for the kindness he had received in prison from all the officials, and stated that he was not surprised at the conclusion arrived at. No twelve sensible men could have come to any other issue. lie was commenting on the course taken by the prosecution, when he was interrupted by Mr. Baron Bramwell, who said he could only be allowed to speak in arrest of judgment, or in mitigation of punishment. Ile denied that lie was au Irishman. lie owed no allegiance to her Majesty beyond respecr,, and that he had never refused to any of her sex. The prisoner was about to impugn, the justice of the learned judge, when Mr. Baron Bramwell again sternly interposed and sentenced Burke to fifteen years' penal servitude, and Shaw to seven years. Shaw was removed from the dock, saying he knew when he • came from Ireland ho should not have justice done him, and also said, "I could do it and 2u years more for " Old Ireland."
