There continues to be some realizations of the Russian Guaranteed Stocks, and both Orel-Vitebsk and Nicolai are offered. Part of the rise in American shares noticed yesterday has been lost, con sequent upon a reaction at New York. The English Funds keep firm, being supported by the scarcity of stock, and the diminished activity of the money market. India Five per Cents. have further improved, but as regards English railways there is less tone upon speculative sales. Great Eastern have, however, recovered 1 per cent. upon a statement that the Marquis of Salisbury does not contemplate re signing his seat. The Discount illarlret continues to he only mode rately active as compared with last week, but as the rate for•the best short-dated paper is 2 per cent., the bulk of the business is taken to the Dank of England.

Mr. Eyre, late Governor of Jamaica, appeared before Mr. Vaughan to answer the summons issued a few days since, at the instance of Mr. J o h n Stuart Mill, M.P., and Mr. Peter A. Taylor, M.P., on the charge of misconduct in that capacity. Sir R. P. Collier and Mr. J. Horne Payne con ducted the case, and Mr. Rose defended Mr. Ey re, who occupied a seat at the solicitors' table. Mr. Vaughan said that before proceeding with the case he wished to call Sir R. P. Collier's attention to a technical objection. Mr. Rose hoped he might first be allowed to make an application for the adjournment of the case, as Mr. Eyre's counsel was unable to attend. Mr. Vaughan said that Mr. Eyre would not be prejudiced. If the objection could not be answered the summons would be dismissed. If Sir R. P. Collier could meet it to his satisfaction and could convince him that he ought to go on with the case, then he Ni ould take care that it should be adjourned for the attendance of counsel. The learned magis trate proceeded to explain the nature of the tech. nical objection, which was substantially that, though the statute under which these proceedings were taken provided that the depositions should be sent to the Court of Queen's Bench he had no power to commit the prisoner to that court, but only to Courts of Oyer and Terminer, i.e., in this instance the Central Criminal Court or Middlesex Sessions. Sir R. P. Collier contended at considerable length that the Court of Queen's Bench is a Court of Oyer and Terniiner, and then referred to autho rities in support of that view. Mr. Vaughan, however, held that it was not a Court of Oyer and Terminer for the purpose of this prosecution, and held that he had not jurisdiction. If Sir It. P. Collier still thought lie had, lie might apply to the Court of Queen's Bench for a man damus to compel him to go. At preseut he de clined to exercise jurisdiction, but should adjourn the case to give time for an application to the Lord Chief Justice. THE SALE 01, LIQUORS ON SUNDAY. The select committee appointed to consiier the provisions of Mr. J. A. Smith's bill met to day in room B; Sir J. Ferguson in the chair. 'The first witness examined was Sir R. Mayne, the Chief Commissioner pf Police. lie stated that be thought drunkenness was on the decrease, when the increase of population was taken into con sideration. He did not think that the altering the closing publichou ses on Sunday from 11 to O o would be any incon ven i ence to the humbler thl classes.the e u r vou o railway f If such a provisio n were to come into force refreshment rooms would have to be closed at the same hour, as their licence was pre cisely the same as that given the publican, and all persons arriving in town by excursion trains after that hour would be precluded from getting any kind of refreshment. The sittings of the committee will occupy some days• .._._, MARKETS—( This Day.) TALLOW. The market is quiet at 44s Gd spot, sam) June, 44s 9d last three months.

The returns from the country markets show a falling off in the supplies, and foreign in the principal instances con tinue to move upwards. tinder these circumstances the tone at Mark-lane is generally firm, although buyers still meet with some amount of reserve. English wheat in limited supply, and good dry samples fully as dear as on Monday. Foreign wheat, of which arrivals are moderate, meets a quiet sale at late rates. For Polish Odessa wheat on passage, 73s paid. Flour in moderato request at late rates for both English and foreign. Barley unaltered in value and in moderate request. Beans and peas unaltered. Oats move off steadily without variation from Monday's rates. Maize on the stand is dull. For future delivery firmer. COTTON. - - LrrzurooL, April 22.—Market quiet and unchangeable.

The second morning service will begin at half-past 11 o'clock, ending at 1 o'clock.—J• WILSON FATTEN, Chan cellor." Vast crowds flock to the chapel, both at the Sunday morning and evening services, and many hun dreds of persons are disappointed in their hope of obtain ing admission. It is always found necessary to close the outer gates immediately atter the commencement of 'or vice. _ _ _ - . 1A D VERTISEMENT.] -- Holloway's Pills. Confidential Advice.—To all who suffer from bilious headaches, dis ordered stomachs, biliousness, or flatulency, these pills aro strongly recommended as the safest, best, and quickest mode of obtaining ease without weakening or irritating the nervous system. Holloway's pills aro especially useful in clearing away any excess of bile, which usually produces fever, unless remedial measures are adopted without delay. In asthma, bronchitis, and congestion of the lungs they may be relied upon for removing all danger; and, by purifying and regulating the circulation, they eventually prevent relapses. By rousing the liver to a lair secretion of bile, and quickly carrying it from the system, these pills ward off low spirits, listlessness, and those distressing feelings oft called " aorvous."

Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared for the prosecution, and called Thomas Carter, who said—Last night, about 20 minutes past eleven, there being about 3,000 per sons in the Alhambra Palace, the prisoner, who was drunk, caused a great disturbance, and made use of very bad language. After a great deal of trouble the prisoner was ejected. The prisoner seized my face in a very ardent manner, and thrust his finger into my eye evidmtly with the intention of gouging it. Shortly afterwards the prisoner forced his way in again, and struck his eye against the door in doing so. Ile had been to the Alhambra on the previous night, and he was then ejected, an I would not have been ad►uitted last night, but he disguised himself by wearing a pair of spectacles. Thomas Mullett said—About 20 minutes past 11 last night the prisoner was brought down from the balcony, and I assisted in putting him out. He afterwards forced his way in again, and kicked me, kicking a piece off my leg the size of half-a crown, and he also bit me through the finger. The prisoner, in forcing his way in, injured his eye. Mr. Tyrrwhitt--Was the prisoner drunk ? Witness—He was more like a madman. Seth Pitcroft, also a constable at the Alhambra, said—Last night I was in the balcony, and the pri soner, who was drunk, and had a bottle of cham pagne in his hand, made use of very bad language, and created a fresh disturbance. I cautioned him three or four times, and told him that I was a con stable, and that he must keep quiet or he would be put out, upon which he said that he had a knife, and if any onejtouched him ho would rip them up. Having got assistance the prisoner was removed, but not before he had done a good deal of mis chief. Mr. Lewis—He said he came to the place for a lark, and would have it ? Witness—lie did. Mr. Lewis—A nice place for a lark, there being 3,000 persons present. Witness—l told him that I could not show him the same forbearance I had the previous night as the audience was upset, and some of them standing on the tables and calling out, " Turn him out," and the performances were stopped, and a number of glasses broken. The Prisoner—You annoyed me by following me about. Witness—Yes, .because you would not behave yourself. Mr. Reeves, the general-superintendent of the Alhambra, saidthe prisoner was admitted contrary to our orders last night, but it appears that he was not known again, as he wore spectacles. I heard the prisoner making a disturbance, and told him that he would have to be ejected unless he desisted, and as he refused to do so he was put out. I told my officials not to use any more violence in ejecting him than was necessary, and they did not. He was very violent, and it took half an hour to get him out, and the police had a great deal of trouble in taking him away after he was oat s id e o f th e building. _ _ _ The Prisoner—lf I had been asked to go I w o u ld have done so, but I was annoyed, and being roughly handled 1 lost my temper. Mr. Tyrwhitt-Such conduct as the prisoner had been guilty of was most mischievous, especially in , a place like the Alhambra, with 3,000 persons pre sent, and it was impossible to pass it over lightly. The prisoner had got his eye injured, and he (Mr. Tyrwhitt) considered it served him right, as his conduct had been very cowardly in trying to gouge out one constable's eye and biting another. He should commit the prisoner for a month for the first assault and 14 days for the second. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. LEWES SPRING MEETING. TUESDAY. Half a gale of wind was scarcely conducive to the com fort at Lewes yesterday, the thoroughly exposed situation of the course on the Surrey downs placing -the visitors quite at the mercy of the elements. Otherwise the weather was pleasant enough, and had the inconvenience occasioned by the roughness of the day only extended to the specta tors, the blow would have been after all enjoyable. Un fortunately, the wind had a perverse effect on the horses, rendering them rather fractious, and so causing time to be lost at the post. The attendance was large, and the first day of the meeting a decided success, while the balance between the backers and layers must have boon pretty even. The ground was in capital order, and large fields. contended for some of the events. There were eighteen starters for the first race—the Town Plato—and the re sult was a turn for the fielders, as the winner, the home-trained FesCval, was a rank outsider. The Welter Cup was won by the favourite, Purveyor, who cut down his ten opponents with the utmost ease- The Two Year Old Pkte furnished a warm favourite in the Duke of Hamilton's Hymen, but the good thin; was upset, and the race wou by Mr. Pad wick's Soflinka, against whom as much as sto 1 was laid. The backers, however, were recompensed by the results of the two fol lowing races, each of which led to favourites, in Rouque tiere and Second Hand. - Only a few bets were laid on the Chester Cup in the course of th 3 day.

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY AT NEW BUILDINGS.— George Osborne, a journeyman carpenter, was charged with unlawfully possessing some lead pipe and fittings. Police-constable Albert Wright said that last evening he saw prisoner go into Mr Barlogs, a s cond-hand shop, in Brittain-street, Chelsea, and offer the pipe and tap now produced for sale. When questioned he said he did not know how he came by it ; he was drunk. George Baker, foreman to :Nlr. Cos, a builder, said that there had been two great robberies at some new buildings in Oakley-street, Chelsea, since the 6th inst. The Pipe now produced was a part of the second robbery, li e produced a piece of the metal left on the premises from which it had been wrenched. Sergeant Airs, of the T division, said that there had been two tons of metal carried off on the first of these two robberies, and 2 cwt. on the second. Mr. Arnold asked prisoner to account for the possession of the metal. Prisoner—l was so drunk that I don't know anything about it. Constable—He wa s no t s o drunk as that, your worship. Mr. Arnold (to prisoner)—You were not so drunk but you took the property to the usual place for such sales. Had you taken it to a tailor's I might have believed you did not know what you were about. You are remanded until Tuesday. THAMES. ROBBERY IN A DOMINICAN CONVENT SCHOOL.— John Welch, an Irish labourer, was brought up on remand before Mr. Benson charged with stealing £2O in Bank of England notes, the property of Mr. Joseph Connor. The prosecutor is the superintendent of works of the establishment belonging to Roman Catholics, and called the Dominican Sisters, in Bow. On Friday, the 3d of the present month, he missed from his pocket-book a £lO and two £5 notes. The prisoner and his wife were in charge of the works of the Dominican Sisters. Mr. Connor spoke to prisoner and made him acquainted with his loss. The prisoner said he knew nothing of . the notes, and S had never seen them. Mr. Connor's coat had been hanging up in a stable attached to the convent of the Dominican Sisters, and in a school to which the prisoner had access, and he suspected him. Mr. Conner's suspicion s were con firmed when the prisoner, who held a very good situation, and who had been treated very kindly, left his situation abruptly on the 4th, the day the prosecutor mentioned his loss, and, on being asked the reason, said the work was too hard, and too much was put upon him. The pri soner subsequently changed the £lO note, which was stolen from Mr. Connor's pocket book at the shop of Mr. Gunbridge, outfitter in Ratcliffe-highway. When the note was changed for him he gave the name of Macdonald, which was indorsed on the note. He was taken into cus tody with the change (£9 15s and some halfpence) directly after he had left Mr. Gunbridge's shop. He was asked by an inspector where he had ob tained the note, and he replied that he worked for it. A singular piece of evidence was given that the prisoner had had concealed a new cap under some steps in the Shadwell basin of the London Dock, where it was found by Richard Martin, No. 489 K, who took him into custody. lie was asked why he concealed the new cap, to which he made no answer. Ile told Martin that he found the £lO note. A. £5 note, one of those stolen, had since been paid into the Bank of England. It could not be traced back to the prisoner. The third note is still missing. The prisoner in defence said he found the three bank notes in the school of the Dominican Sisters. lie refused to give any account of the two £5 notes. He repeatedly declared he was not guilty of stealing the money. Mr. Benson committed the prisoner for trial. THE TEA DUTY IS REDUCED —lfornitnan's Pare Tea is sold Bd. per pound Cheaper.

(Continued from our First Edition of last Evening) In answer to Mr. Straight, the witness said she first saw Barrett about two months before the ex plosion. Had never spoken to him. When at Pulteney-court he always had a carpet bag with him. To the Court—Mrs. Martin was now in prison, having threatened her life. The carman Purchase was here shown the staves of the barrel found after the explosion. They were longer than those of the barrels in which the powder he took to Pulteney-court was stored. Thomas Kernsley identified Barrett as having been at Mrs. Martin's house. Saw him there on the Sunday before the explosion, just as the shop was being opened. Had recognised him at Millbank, although his whiskers were removed. To the Attorney-G,!neral—Had taken special notice of the prisoner because he had a carious way of looking about him. Mary Ann Page, living in the house opposite to Mrs. Martin's, had seen the two prisoners she now pointed out (William Desmond and English) at No. 8, Pulteney-court. By Mr. Warner Sleigh—Had only seen William Desmond there two or three times. Could not say how long before the explosion. Hai not been able to identify William Desniond at ➢lillbank. By Mr. Keogh—Had not had any personal knowledge of English. Did not know that he was ktme. 'Theresa Depois, living at No. 1, Pulteney-court, had seen William Desmond, O'Keefe, and English at Mrs. Martin's or in the neighbourhood on several occasions. By Mr. Warner Sleigh—Did not recognise Wm. Desmond the day she went to Milbank. Elizabeth Batters had seen Desmond and English. at Mrs. Martin's. Ann Stringfell said she had seen Barrett in the neighbourhood of Clerkenwell several times, the last time teu days before the explosion. Janet Crawford stated that on the day of the explosion she saw Barrett come from William Des mond's house. Sarah Smithers, of the " Bells," Corporation lane, remembered some men coming for refresh ment on the day before the explosion, and believed English was one of them. James Strutten deposed that the day before the explosion he saw two men wheeling a barrel to the prison, and believed Timothy Desmond was one. Richard Wells had seen the barrel a foot from the prison wall. Two men were standing by, and there was a true a fe w yards from the barrel. The men left the spot and passed witness. One of them looked round and laughed. This to the best of his belief was O'Keefe, who, when first seen, was leaning over the barrel. By Mr. Montague Williams—lt was only to the best of his belief that he would say the man was O'Keefe. The Court then adjourned. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE—This Day. PLYMOUTH, Wednesday Morning.

Mr. MONSELL moved the second reading of this bill the object of which was to remove certain restrictions which at present existed in Ireland. By the law as it at present stood a Roman Catholic priest or Dissenting clergyman was prevented from performing the rites of burial in parochial churchyards without the consent of the incumbent, and it was to do away with this practice that the bill was introduced. Mr. NEWDEGATE moved that the bill be read a second time that day six months, as it was but another step to be given to Roman Catholics to the detriment of the members of the Church of England. It was a measure in his opinion which was brought forward in the hop.) that the present state of Ireland would prevent the hous3 re fusing its assent on the ground that if it did so it might lead to disturbance. Mr. O'BEIRNf supported the second reading of the bi:l. Mr. BRUCE said the bill, although supported by Roman Catholics, it was not pressed forward by them, but by the Protestant Dissenters. Ile hoped the bill would receive the sanction of the lions••. I LEFT SITTING.] IIOUSE OF COMAIONS—LAsr EVENING, A new writ was ordered to issue for Grantham in the room of Mr. Welby. MARRIED WOMEN'S PROPERTY. Mr. LEFEVRE moved for leave to bring in a bill to amend the law with respect to the property of marrie women. According to the law as it at presen► stood on marriage the whole of the property of the wife reverted to the husband, with the exception of real pro perty, which, however, he could not dispose of without her consent. With respect to leasehold and personal property it was entirely at his disposal, and in the event of his turning out a spendthrift, there was nothing to prevent him squandering the whole of it. Even wages that the wife might earn by the exer cise of professional ability were at his disposal, and even deposits a married woman might make in a savings bank were paid over on the demand of the husband. The Court of Chancery had certain powers on the subject, but circumstances had occurred even there which showed some alteration of the law was required, and, as a proof of this, he would mention two cases which had occurred not a very long time ago. A husband be came bankrupt, and . some time after this a sum of £l,OOO became payable to his wife, but Lord St. Leonards only al lowed her to take £6CO, the other £4OO he directed should be paid to her husband's creditors ; and, in the other case, the wife had been deserted by her husband, and it became known that ho was living with an other female, but all hope of his returning to his wife had gone before the property, £6,000, d'scended to the wife as next of kin. In this case the judge of the Court of Chancery directed the husband to be paid one third of the amount, so that the deserted wife lost £2,000, which was doubtless spent in the most reckless manner by her husband. By the bill he asked leave to introduce he proposed to change the common law. In all future marriages the property belonging to a woman before she became a wife he proposed should remain her property in all cases of existing marriage. The bill enacted that all money earned as wages should be paid to the wife and not to the husband, but a power would be contained in the bill by which a married woman could be sued just as a single woman. He did not doubt but that his bill would encounter some opposition, because it might be considered an invasion on the cere monyof marriage, but he hoped the subject would be calmly discussed, and when that had been done he felt that the justice of his proposal was so great that he confidently ex pected the bill would receive the sanction of Parliament. Mr. S. MILL seconded the motion, and leave was afterwards given to bring in the bill. VOTING SUPPLIES. Mr. AYRTON called attention to the manner at present adopted of putting the question to the house while in committee of supply, and concluded by proposing that, instead of the present practice, when it had been proposed to omit or reduce items in a vote, the question should be afterwards put upon the original vote, or upon the reduced vote as the case might be, unless an amendment be moved for a reduction of the whole vote. He contended that, by the course he pro posed, the same question would not, and could not, be dis cussed twice over. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said ho hoped the hon. gentleman would not press the matter to a decision at that moment. With respect to the right of any member wishing to reduce any vote that might be pro posed, it was most desirable that that privilege should be within the power of every member, and as the difficulty had only been started last evening, some further time should be allowed for a full consideration of the matter before any direct alteration was decided upon by the house. Mr. CHILDERS said from what had taken place in the house last evening it was absolutely necessary that some change in the practice of the house should take place. The resolution was postponed. CAPITAL PUNIS LIM ENTs WITHIN PRISONS BILL. Oa the motion for going into committee upon this bill, Mr. G:LPIN moved as an amendment that, in the opin ion of this house, it is expcidient, iasteal of carrying out the punishment of death within prisons, that capital punishment should be abolish° '. Mr. GlililiOß Y argued, against the resolution, that tho extreme punishment Iris necessary to restrain the violent and dangerous classes from desperate crimes, and, above all, for the preservation of convict discipline. The resolution was supported by Mr. NEATE, and opposed by Mr. MILL, who was of opinion that in cases of aggra vated murder, where the circumstances admitted of no pal liation, and where the act was not an exception, but the natural result of a man's course of life, solemnly to blot him out of the category of human beings, was the most impressive punishment to which society could resort. It was the least cruel mode of deterring from murder, and was far more merciful than imprisonment for life. To tLe argument that the punishment had been a practical failure he replied that no one could tell how many people it had prevented from becoming murderers, and it was by its effect on the beginnings of crime, and not on the crimi nal classes, that its deterrent power should be tested. When it was inflicted for a number of minor offences it naturally became a brutuag fulmen, and if judges, juries, and Homo Secretaries grew averse from inflict ing it in cases of murder, then it should be abolished But this result could only be accomplished by an ener vation of the public mind for effeminacy, he urged it would be to be more shocked at taking away a man's life than at depriving him of all that rendered life worth liv ing for. In an elaborate and weighty argument he insisted that loss of life was not the greatest ill that could befall a man, and that capital punishment combined the greatest deterrent effect with the least amount of human suffering. The irretrievable character of the punishuaetft, he lointed out, was an additional security for the careful discharge of their duties by judges and juries. On a division the resolution was negatived by 127 to 23. The bill was then discussed in committee, and the clauses were agreed to without any substantial alteration. The Religious Buildings (Sites) and the Artisans' and Labourers' D wellings Bills passed through committee. Several other bills were for warded a stage, and the house adjourned at 25 minutes to 12 o'clock. LuNDON GAZETTE-LAST EVENING. ADMIRALTY, APRIL 18.
