Everything learnt just now from the Fast tends to illustrate more and more clearly the ferocious and domineering antagonism of the CZAR to the Supreme Government of Constantinople. It was evidently conjectured at first by the AUTOCRAT, that his ambitioUs views in regard . to Turkey might be readily accomplished under the trick on i mask of a secret treaty, empowering him thence forth to appoint all the Greek patriarchs without exception, and entrusting him with the uncondi tional protectorate of the Russo-Greek Church throughout the dominions of the Sultan ABD-UL MEDJID. It was conjectured, we say, at the out set of these sinister negotiations, that all this might be conveniently contrived by a treaty, to be drawn up and arranged between the Divan and the Court of St- Petersburgh, without the intervention, without even the cognisance, of the rest of the great Powers of Christendom. It was the political day-dream of the AUTOCRAT. It was scarcely conjured up, however, before it was utterly and irretrievably dissipated. Simul taneously there arrived at the Sublime Porte the French and English Ambassadors. Under the scrutinising watchfulness of those two astute and experienced diplomatists, the completion of this project of a secret treaty was at once rendered impracticable. The question of the Holy Places, moreover, was forthwith openly brought forward and discussed by one of them meaning, of course, by the Envoy of that State which is tech nically known throughout the European Conti nent as the Eldest Daughter of Catholicism. It became the principal subject of argument and con sideration for a prolonged interval, until, through the moderation evinced by all parties con cerned, and thanks to the magnanimous con cessions made by the Divan as the organ or mouthpiece of the Sultan ABD-UL-MEDJID, it was ultimately arranged to general satisfaction. Thereupon, on the sth ultimo, the original de sign cherished by Russia—the design in attempt ing to compass which the Government of St. Petersburgh had previously been baulked by an unexpected and irritating disappointment —was revived.. It was renewed or resuscitated, appear ing this' time, not under the guise of a secret treaty, but through the more insinuating aspect of a bilateral contract in the shape of a " Sened" or Convention. ;How. this endeavour also failed, the world knows well enough from re cent and sufficiently startling occurrences. Find-. ing it impracticable to accomplish the purposes of his imperial master, firstly through a Secret Treaty, and secondly through a " Sened " or Convention—Prince MENSCHIKOFF, on the eve of his departure, strove to extort the coveted con cession of the Protectorate from the Divan, under the modified appearance of a simple—Note. ' Failing even in that, likewise, • he .hurriedly i quitted Constantinop,e, as already narrated, and proceeded with all pogsible rapidity on his road to-St. Petersburgh. Since then it appears that a fourth endeavour has been adventured upon by the Czar NICIIOLAS, with a view to elicit from the Sublime Porte th e desired authority of the Greek Protectorate. This endeavour is sim ply the transmission of what may at length be termed with perfect accuracy, an ultimatum_a. final and peremptory demand conveyed b y a " feldjager," or messenger to the Councils of the Turkish Government. Supposing this ulti matum be refused by the Divan as it had already refused the Note, as it had refused the " s om a , ' or Convention, and as it had. previously and ori ginally refused the Secret Treaty7---the AUTOCRAT does not for an instant strive to conceal his inten tion of summarily marching his forces, beyond the Russian frontiers, and taking instant possession of the Danubian principalities. Supposing the Divan refuses the ultimatum ! Why, of that, surely, by this time, there can scarcely be any doubt whatever. For, is not RESCHID PACHA formally installed as Foreign Minister in the Suir TAN's Councils at Constantinople ? And are not the resolute and patriotic sentiments of that Statesman sustained, directly and energetically sustained, by the French and English Govern ments through their respective Ambassadors ? Has not tho Note been refused—has not the Con vention—has not the Secret Treaty—and shall the Divan now be " frightened from its pro priety" by the tocsin of a tautological or itterated ultimatum ? Have not all the wiles and all the blusterings of Prince MENSCHIKOFF proved of no avail in winning that golden apple of discord—the Protectorate ? And shall the task which proved too much for the diplo matist, be performed so readily by the messenger ? Can the " feldjager" triumph where the Plenipo tentiary was beaten, and beaten, too, most igno miniously ? Conjectures like these are nothing less than preposterous. Turkey will not now, at the eleventh hour, find her rulers forsaking the path at once of honour, of prudence, and of patriotism, now that RESCHID PACHA has resumed office as Foreign Administrator, and now that the Divan is openly upheld in its resistance to the lawless demands of the CZAR by the Am bassadors from the French and English Govern ments. _ _ Satisfied, therefore, as to the future--calculat ing the probabilities of that future simply by the light of recent experience—we may rest confident, we conceive, at this critical juncture, that the Sublime Porte will resolutely resist the last as it had already resisted three other aggressive efforts on *the part of the AUTOCRAT. The " feldjager" will be summarily sent to the right about, as had been previously done with regard to a rather more important personage—Prince MEN SCHIKOFF. Consequently, if we are to credit the threats of the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh, the Russian armies may be expected within a brief intervals to advance audaciously to the occupation of the Danubian principalities. What will be the result ? That, too, is obviously enough, easily cal culable. The united fleets of France and England would immediately afterwards appear not merely near the entrance, but far advanced up the channel, of the Dardanelles. The duplicity of the CZAR, his unprincipled ambition, his insolent braggadocios, would all be repaid sevenfold, would at once receive their richly-deserved punishment, by dis covering 'to his dismayed judgment that he had allowed his passion for once to super sede his prudence and to plunge him thought lessly into war, single-handed, against the banded armaments of Christendom. So have events transpired with reference to the dark, and daring, and tortuous policy of the AUTO CRAT. AS SALLUST wrote of POMPEY, SO might we now declare of the Emperor NICHOLAS, that—in all these transactions —he has acted ore probo, animo invereeundo. Hitherto his dis honesty has resulted solely in disgrace—persisted in it can only be productive of defeat and disaster. • The discussion on the India Bill will this even ing be resumed in the House of Commons, and everything indicates that Sir CHARLES WOOD'S project will not go down quite so easily as the Right Honourable Baronet had anticipated. Hon ourable Gentlemen are beginning to feel a slight sensation of shame at the subservience already ex hibited on the Income Tax Bill, and to doubt the efficiency and power of a Government that could sanction a scheme, in every respect so un statesman-like and impolitic, as that which has just been brought forward by the Ministerial Marplot. The flagrant job thus attempted to be perpetrated has excited the strongest disgust and indignation throughout the entire country. The public journals of almost every shade and variety of political opinion have exhibited an almost un paralleled unanimity in denouncing a measure so palpably inadequate to the exigencies of the case, and affording such painful evidence of Ministerial imbecility, and of contemptuous in difference to the voice of public opinion. The reckless haste—the unflinching determination to legislate permanently, even with defective infor mation, on a question so deeply affecting the wel fare and prosperity of one hundred and fifty millions of human beings who owe allegiance to Queen VICTORIA, and that without affording the parties •chiefly interested an opportunity of sub stantiating the grave complaints, the serious grievances which they have already so temperately submitted for the consideration of the Imperial Parliament—has been powerfully contrasted with the deplorable instances of procrastination exhi bited by the same Minister who, unless under very peculiar circumstances, has never been known to grapple with a subject which he could, by any possibility, succeed in evading or shirking. This remarkable deviation from his ordinary course has led to something more than a suspicion as to his objects on the occasion. It is thought that it is not altogether the supposition that " delay would be a source of weakness and danger"—or that, if the people of India began to suspect that " the rule in that country was uncertain and tottering, and that Parliament had not made up its mind how India was to be governed, they might begin to suspect that the existing authori ties might be set at nought," that has led to this - extraordinary promptitude, but rather the notion that the people of England, whose atten tion has at length been excited, may begin to discern the evils of a divided Government, and inquire rather too curiously as to the claims of the Proprietors of 6,000,000/. of East India Stock, whose dividends are amply secured at therather ex travagant rate of 10i per cent. per annum until their Capital stock be redeemed by the payment of 2001. sterling for every 1001. originally invested (and which sum, we believe, to be not even forthcoming or traceable at this moment) to any interference with the destinies of the Eastern Empire, or the distribution of the enormous patronage appertaining thereto. That is the real 'danger—that is the evil to be averted at any cost—and for that purpose Sir CHARLES WOOD is willing to abandon his usual habits, and for once to exhibit an almost unprecedented amount of activity and energy in the dispatch of business. But, as to this " patronage," which has been converted into a species of " bugbear," where- With "to frighten the Isle from its propriety," bouldit not be disposed of in a manner more equitable, and more beneficial to the community than by vesting it in the fortunate owners Pf 6,000,0001. of At i lick, who are at the same time receiving -:4literest after the rate 9f 10i per cent. per annum on their original investments. It must be recollected that the "'patronage" in question has been materially diminished—that the Directors are to be relieved of the civil, the medical, and the scientific am pointments—and that all which they are to be permitted to retain is the military patronage, the distribution of the cavalry and infantry commis sions in the Indian - Army. Now why should, not this patronage be transferred to the Horse Guards, where it would certainly be exercised with less favouritism than by an irresponsible body of per sons ? Anxious for their immediate relatives and j friendi, and for those of their high-minded sup- t porters, who, although they would scorn a pecu niary bribe, would have no objection to a perma nent provision for an interesting protegee. It is . . notorious that it is farmore difficult to obtain acorn- mission in the Indian army than in her MAJESTY'S service. This latter may tle obtained without any extraordinary influence, the former not with out the greatest exertion, and fir:rough the favour of an individual Director. A hanci.some allowance must be made to a QUEEN'S Officer, to enable him to maintain his position in the Regiment, and (unless under very peculiar circumstances) every additional step must be purchased at a heavy price ; but the Company's Officer, the moment his outfit has been procured, and his passage to India arranged ; is permanently dis posed of, and with ordinary prudence on his part his parents need be under no apprehension of fur ther demands on his account. His promotion is ob tained either by seniority or nlerit, and he will not be exposed to the mortification of seeing persons promoted over his head, without any superiority except that appertaining to a plethoric purse. It is not too much to say that 1,000/. (a higher sum has been paid) would be as freely given for the original appointment as 4601. for a commission in a marching regiment. By this means 265,000/. per annum would be obtained for public purposes, or the patronage might, to a considerable extent, be bestowed as the acceptable and well-deserved rewards of meritorious exertions in any branch of the public service. Opinion—the general feeling of propriety—would prevent any improper exercise of that power, but there would be no such efficient check if it were left in the hands of private indi viduals. We trust that Honourable Gentlemen will consider these matters before they finally dis-, pose of the question which has excited so deep an interest in the public mind.

THE DUKE OF GENOA.—After having dined with the Earl and Countess of Clarendon on Tuesday night, his Royal Highness the Duke of Genoa honoured the Countess Walewska's reception with his presence at the residence of the French Embassy in Grosvenor-square. His Royal Highneas remained the guest of the Countess until after midnight. Yesterday morning his Royal Highness paid a visit to the Bank of England for the purpose of inspecting that national establishment. His Royal Highness was received on his arrival by Mr. Hu bbard, the governor, and Mr. Heath, one of the directors and Sardinian consul, and conducted through the vari ous offices attached to the building. Last evening his Royal Highness left town for Windsor Castle on a visit to her Majesty and the Prince Consort. . TEE DUKE OR GENOA. The Duke of Genoa is about to leave England, on his way back to Dresden, the marriage of his brother-in-law being fixed for the 18th inst. His Royal Highness will leave London on Saturday next. The ancient bonds of friendship that have always existed between the Houses of Savoy and Brunswick, combined with the sympathies awakened in the British public by the noble and strenuous efforts of Piedmont to consolidate constitu tional liberties, have secured to the gallant prince the most cordial receptioe in London. A few words will be sufficient to illustrate his Royal Highness's career. a The duke was placed at the head of the Sardinian artillery, as commander-in-chief, at the age of 24. In the campaigns of 1848-49, he commanded in chief a division of the army, in which capacity he gave (on the 24th of July, 1848, at Sommacampagna, and the day after at Custoza) numerous proofs of that brilliant courage which is among the hereditary vir tues of his race. At the battle of Novara, the Duke of Genoa had three horses killed and two wounded under him, and was the last to leave the field of battle, after having been compelled to alight and fight as simple fantassin at the head of the 3d regiment of in fantry. We must not omit to state that he directed the siege of Peschiera, and that at the beginning of the campaign a bullet grazed the collar of his tunic. The brilliant qualities of this young prince —the unaffected simplicity of his habits, and his modesty, equal to his courage—secured the enthusiastic reception which met him everywhere on the continent, and which we are glad to state so cordially greeted him on his arrival in England. such men as the Duke of Genoa and Massimo d'Aze glio are great blessings to their country ; and well. may Piedmont be proud of them, as they not only govern and defend it in case of need, but strengthen its position, by showing to other countries what talent and honesty can do, and thus assuring their sympathies to ono of the most loyal and brave of Kings, Victor Emmanuel, and his able councillors, Cavour, Dabormida, &c. EXCHEQUER BlLLS.—Exchequer bills are in great de mand, all those dated June being out of the market for repayment or renewal, and the quotation is 6s. to 10s. premium. The influence of the Exchequer-bill repay ments causes money to be very easy in the Stock-ex change. It also continues abundant out of doors, the general rate being 31 per cent, on the best paper. GRAND JUNCTION CANAL COMPANY.—At the meet ing of the Grand Junction Canal Company, held on Tuesday, the report was adopted, and a dividend de clared of 21. per share, free of income tax. NAMUR AND LIEGE RAILWAY COMPANY.—At a meet ing of the Namur and Liege Railway Company, a satis factory report, on the whole, from the directors was received and adopted. The net receipts for the past year amounted to 30,0001., but are expected to increase to 80,0001. during the present year. THREE SUSPECTED SUlClDES.—Yesterday information was forwarded to the respective coroners on the following suppoced suicides. On Tuesday morning last the body of a female was dis Covered in the river Lea, near the Copper .Mills, Walthamstow. The deceased is about 35 years of age, 5 feet 2 inches in height, and was attired in a, black Orleans dress, blue apron, dark shawl, and laced hoots. On the right arm of the deceased was the letter 5.,. marked in ink. The body lies at the en gine house at Walthamstow, to await the coroner's in vestigation. The body of anotherfemale was found floating in the river Thames, off Old Gravel-lane, Wapping. The deceased appears to be about 20 years of age, 5 feet 2 inches in height, and was dressed in an old cotton gown and lace up boots, but had neither cap or bonnet. It is somewhat singular that on the deceased's right arm the letters C. N. are marked in ink, in a similar manner to the one above-mentioned.—The body of a man was discovered floating off the Arsenal, at Woolwich. The deceased is about 50 years of age, 5 feet 6 inches in height, and was attired in a black silk vest, striped cloth trousers', Wellington boots, blue stockings, blue striped shirt, but 3io coat on. The body was conveyed to the dead-house pt Woolwich ; where it awaits a coroner's in quest. r - 7 !r, ,, r r yi INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 10,000 bales, of which 3,000 American were taken for export and on speculation. The market was more active, but prices remained un altered. The sales comprised 8,000 American, 210 Pernam and Maranham, at 6id. to 7d.; 300 Bahia at Sid. to cid, 300 Egyptian, at 61d. to Is. 14d., 1,200 Surat, at 3id. to 41d. and 80 Sea Island at Is. 9d. to 2s. per lb. Railway shares were very inactive at rather lower prices. This being the Grand Day at Ascot, there are no public sales of colonial produce. The following remarks upon the alteration in the intentions of the Chancellor of the 'Exchequer re specting the duty upon raisins, have been fur nished. by Messrs. Witherby and Hanson : c , The proposed reduction of the duty to 10 per cent., after having been four weeks before the public, was suddenly rescinded by the Chancellor of the Ex chequer on the 16th of May. He, it is well known, passed by othet, items of a more popular character, and selected I.aisins for, reduction, as being an article of food ; .but he became subse quently and naturally alarmed at the reports of a short crop in Turkey. His final decision seems to have been influenced by the following facts, viz. : that th ere is at'this moment in th e United Kingdom about 16,000 tons of currants and raisin; whilst the annual con sumption has never exceeded 30,000 tons ; that the reduction will certainly call forth to this market certain low descriptions, the duty on which has hitherto been pro hibitory ; that the cheapness of flour has of late years greatly promoted the use of fruit as an economical article on:lid—that the measure, if carried out, would therefore be especially beneficial to the poorer classes of society ; and, moreever, that supplies of all kinds which would otherwise, in all probability, be taken next season to the continent of Europe, to America, and other coun tries,—would, it the duty were reduced, be brought to England. As to currants, it is confidently believed that when the article will have been restored to its former ratio of production, Government will feel itself indirectly pledged to a corresponding reduction of duty, which, however expedient in the abstract, is at present impracticable from financial considerations." The condition of the Money Market is so much dependent upon the state of foreign politics, that any estimate which omits the latter is necessarily. imperfect. There are, at this moment, many rea sons for the conchision that 'cash will be, for a while at least, more plentiful. On this day the, dissentient holders of Exchequer Bills receive their money back from Government, the total exceeding three Millions sterling. As long as there is any uncertainty • involved in the Turkish question, the bankers and others may be expected to keep their assets idle, rather than place them in securities that may suddenly fall. Upon " call," or in the discount of short dated bills, they may not object to employ some of their surpluses, and judging by the activity of trade in gene ral there will be a good opportunity for this. There are parties who prognosticate a very heavy " fourth" next month, and most likely there will be, but if it goes off as well as the " fourth" of this month has done ; the bills noted being unusually few, there will be every motive for congratulation. The speculators in iron are pointed at as having large engagements, but the market being firmer, may assist them. English Stocks are flatter, and although there is not much doing the foreign intelligence has beams° far unfavourably interpreted as to check purchases, and rather dispose parties to sell. Consols have been 98i for the opening. Exchequr Bills are dull At 6s. premium. The New Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents. have been 1011 to and tie Three per Cents. 99! to 1, with moderate purchases. Bank Stock has been steady at 229. East India Bonds have been 295. to 325. premium. In the Foreign Market there is, by sympathy with Consols, a partial reaction. Mexican bonds have been at 27i and since up again to 27 ft Peruvian 4 per Cents. are 85 to 86. Brazilian 41 per Cents. have realised 99. Spanish Deferred Bonds have been at 23i. Venezuela have a fair sale at 39 to 1 1 . Russian 5 per Cents. are main tained at 119, and the 41 per Cents. at 103 to French 4i per Cents. are 100 k, with the exchange at 25 10. There has been a transaction in Australian Bonds at 85/. Dutch 21 per Cents. are 65 to 1. The Railway Share Market has been depressed, owing to the decline in the stocks. Caledonian have receded 10s. to 11., and Great Northern, Lan cashire and Yorkshir e , South-We s t ern , Midl an d , and York and North fidland, have all similarly given way. The French lines are very dull, and, in fact, merely nominal. Upper India Scrip has risen to i• I prem.

ROYAL ORTHOP/EDIC HOSPITAL. The thirteenth annual festival of this institution was celebrated yes terday at the London Tavern ; the Earl of Shaftesbury, president of the charity, was in the chair, and about two hundred of the supporters of the institution sat down to an excellent dinner. The usual loyal toasts having been given, the noble chairman, whose speech was imperfectly heard, in proposing "Prosperity to the Royal Orthopmdic Hospital," stated that the utility of the institution was shown by the amount of benefit it had conferred on a class of persons suffering from peculiar maladies, viz., diseases of the foot and the spine, which every one acquainted with the metropolis knew to exist in a very considerable degree. Referring to the pro ceedings of the last year, he found that the total numbr of in and out-patients admitted was 1,538 ; making the entire number relieved since the foundation of the charity 13,541 ; the increased number of patients during the past year being 105. The majority of applicant s for relief were from persons of adult age, who were pre vented by affections of the foot or spine from obtaining a livelihood ; and also from youths who, from the same cause, were unable to acquire a trade ; but from inadequacy of funds, only a comparatively small number could be relieved. It was (his lordship said) much to be regretted that the receipts of the cha rity from the usual sources for the year fell short of the expenditure by 364/. He was happy, however, to announce that the hospital had received a legacy of 5001., a bequeA from the late Mr. Alexander Mac kenzie, a governor of the charity. The contributions towards the building fund during the year amounted to 4301. 135., including a grant from the Common Council of 100 guineas, and of that amount 3201. had been paid ; and the whole amount subscribed since the opening of the building fund was 1 , 8691 . Af ter some further de tails, the chairman concluded by an energetic appeal on behalf of the hospital, as well on the ground of the peculiar nature of the diseases therein, as on account of the great good it had been instrumental in dispensing to a class of patients for whose relief no similar institution existed in the metropolis. The healths of the medical and other officers of the institution were subsequently given and acknowledged, and a liberal list of subscrip tions was announced in the course of the evening. INDIODIENTS FOR PERJURY.—A return to the House of L'ords has just been printed, showing that in 1849 there were 52 commitments in England and Wales for perjury ;57 in I'Bso ; and 116 in 1851. In 1849 the convictions were 18 ; in 1850, 21; and in 1851 the num was 29. These convictions were for perjury, and sub ornafon of perjury, Viiteb Ntittion ASCOT RACES. (THIS DAY.)

After remaining in deliberation with closed doors for about a quarter of an hour the parties were admitted, when The Chairman (Mr. Miles) said, the committee have come to the conclusion that Sir John Forster Fitzgerald and Cornelius O'Brien, Esqrs., were not duly elected knights of the shire to serve in the present Parliament for the county of. Clare, and that the last election was a void election. The chairman further intimated that the committee were prepared to go into the case of bribery against the sitting members, as well as the recriminatory bribery. On the application of counsel for the petitioners the committee adjourned for an hour. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY-(THIS DAY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.) IN RE LAING.-THE WEST INDIA FAILURES. To-day was appointed for choice of assignees in the case of this bankrupt, who was described as a master mariner and merchant in the West India Trade, in Lon don and Dominica. The bankruptcy is attributed to the failure of several other firms in the same trade. From the preliminary statement prepared by Messrs. Robinson and Knowles, Basinghall-street, who are also engaged in winding-up the accounts of other firms similarly situated, it appears that the private debts do not exceed 2,0001., which the assets will considerably exceed, but the amount of the liabilities cannot at present be ascertained, as there are three other firms declared bankrupt. The choice was adjourned by consent. 10 SHERIFF'S COURT-(THIS DAY.) I 26i (Before R. Gurney, Esq., and a Jury.) IMPORTANT QTJESTION AS TO THE LIABILITY OF PARTNERS - PAINE AND ANOTHER V. MAG RATH. ---- The plaintiffs in this action are solicitors, and defend ant is a statuary. The action was brought to recover the sum of 171., the amount of a bill of costs. The defendant pleaded a set off to the full amount. Mr. Sleigh, as counsel, said that the pleadings were wrong as to amount, for the set off ought to be for 121. 10s. only ; he must, therefore, submit to a verdict against him for the difference, and he would not dispute the fairness of the plaintiff's demand. The real ques tion would turn on a point as to whether the defendant could maintain his plea of set off. Mr. Locke then stated the case :—Messrs. Paine and Hatherley were in partnership, and the professional busi ness transacted for the defendant had been performed by Mr. Hatherley, on the part of the firm. Mr. Hatherley then gave an order for some work to be done at his pri vate house. Defendant did the work, for which he now claimed the set off. The learned counsel submitted that work done for one partner could not set off against a debt due to the partnership. Mr. Sleigh adnaittted that such was the law as apply ing to cases generally, but when the partners in a firm allowed one partner to hold himself out as the sole re presentative, they were liable for his acts. In this case, although the firm was Paine and Hatherley, yet the de fendant had never seen Mr. Paine, nor did Mr. Paine know him ; the whole business had been conducted by Mr. Hatherley. Mr. Sleigh quoted the case of Gordon v. Ellis, 2, C.B. (Roscoe), in support of his argument. Defendant was examined, and admitted that he thought there was a partner, although he h a d never seen hi m. The Learn e d Judge said that put an end to the case. If defendant believed there was a partner, he could not set off the claim he had against one partner, who, how ever, had his remedy. The jury, therefore, under direction of the Judge, gave a verdict for the full amount claimed. SOUTHWARK.—(THIS DAY.) BRUTAL ASSAULT ON A WIFE BY HER HUSBAND.— Charles Bowie, a tall officially-looking fellow, was;brought before Mr. A'Beckett, charged with committing a vio lent assault on Mary Ann Bowie, his wife. The complainant, a ruffian-looking female, stated that on the previous night her husband came home the worse for liquor and called for his supper. She placed it be fore him, and because it was a little cold he flung it at her and broke all the plates and dishes. It was very late and she had retired to rest, consequently the fire had got low, but he was not contented with her expla nation, so he jumped up and treated her in such a brutal manner that the neighbours came to her asssistance, and called in a constable when she reluctantly gave him into -custody. The wife here exhibited several bruises on her face and arms, and prayed the magistrate not to deal harshly with her husband. The latter in a most sullen manner, said that he was drunk, and he supposed he did it because his supper was cold. The constable said, when he was called in the prisoner seemed quite mad, and it was with con siderable difficulty that he could prevent him from using further violence to his wife. On his way to the station house he was extremely violent. Mr. A'Beckett remarked that he was a brutal fellow, and under all the circumstances, he should fine him 3/., or two months' imprisonment. The fine was not forthcoming, and the fellow was committed. THE DUBLIN EXHIBITION. 110 St. The reduced rate of p r i ces h av i ng b ecome more gene- St. rally known, the building on Tuesday presented a busier St. and more crowded appearance than on the previous day, 20 many who had been deterred from going on Monday St. through fear of a crush, or who had remained away for other reasons, having avail e d themselv.Qs of the oppo r - 15 tunity thus afforded them of witnessing the many won- 8 derful objects contained in the Industrial Temple, at the 10 low rate of is. admittance. The Great Hall especially 10 presented a thronged appearance, and the galleries as- ig sumed a more lively a s p ec t than has been presented by 10 them at almost any period since the opening day. The Lae number of visitors was 7,783, upwards of 2,000 more than attended on Monday ; while the receipts, including St. those derived from the sale of season tickets, amounted 20 to a very respectable sum. 5 The crisis of the Turkish question has caused an advance in the rate for war risks at Lloyd's on vessels to the Black Sea to 30s. and upwards, the rate a fortnight ago having been about 10s. As regards vessels to St. Petersburgh, some goods by the steamer just starting have been insured from capture fot an extra 55., but for sailing ships, which would arrive later, and whose gene ral movements afford less means of security, the charge would have been much heavier, although not so high as in the case of those t o th e Black Sea. MEXICAN AND SOUTH AMERICAN COMPANY.—The annual general meeting of this company was held yester day at the London Tavern ; Mr. J. D. Powles in the chair. The report stated that the mines were productive, and promised well for the future. The net profit on the workings was 30,672/. 10s. 5d., out of which the direc tors made a dividend of 7s. 6d. per share, and appropri ated 7001. to the reserve fund. The price of copper was good, owing to the great scarcity of the supply. An attempt was made to induce the directors to declare a dividend of 10s., but it was eventually withdrawn, and the report was adopted. NEW YORK MONEY MARKET.—The arrival of the Baltic from New York, with 120,000/. in specie, with the 55,000/. brought by the Cambria on Monday, realises the anticipations entertained with regard to an improved rate of exchange. In other respects the advices continue without much importance. The tendency of the stock market, however, was towards improvement, and money was more abundant. Crystal Palace shares had been an exception, the quotation having receded from 140 to 112, but there had been a partial reaction, and the last quotation was 121. - SUPERVISION BY THE POOR-LAW BOARD OF THE PRO CEEDINGS OF GUARDIANS OF THE POOR. —In order that the Poor-law Board may be made fully acquainted with the proceedings of the boards of guardians of the poor under their power, they have issued orders to the several clerks of the guardians, requiring them to fill up a form every week, and transmit to the inspectors of the poor, which, besides other information, is to contain a "Copy of any special minute or notice of motion at the meeting of the board, and of any special entry on the Visiting Committee's book." The order is to be carriedinto effect from and after Midsummer day. A strong feeling has been generally expressed by thq metropolitan guardians of the poor against this inquisitorial order. 20 20 20 20 10 20 10 20 1T4 , M4 SHARE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) BRITISH RAILWAYS.
