Statuette, " The Dancing Girl SPAIN The Madrid journals of the 21st contain no news of importance. The Diario states that some sur prise had been caused on the Stock Exchange by a sudden rise of 4 per cent. in what are called the Committee Bonds, which had been considered, to use its own expression, " definitively dead," and it requests that information as to what it is in tended to do with respect to them may be given, so as not to lead speculators into error. The same journal announces the appointment of M. Augustin Munoz, Count do San Augustin, as member of a commission at London, with a salary of 24,000 reals (6,000 f.) General Aupick, the French Ambas sador, had left Madrid, and the first secretary of the Embassy was to carry on the business until the arri val of M. Turgot, who was expected at the end of the month. A letter says :—" Most of the capitalists have hastened to renew their credits to the government. The Bank of San Fernando has ad vanced to the Minister of Finance the sum of 10,000,000 reals, which he required to complete the payments of the month. Notwithstanding the avowed intention of the Ministry to adopt a policy of conciliation, a certain number of members of the Opposition seem disposed to refuse it their co-ope ration. Cabinet councils are frequently held. A question, which seems to occupy the Ministers more than any other, is relative to the concessions of railways of which the works have not been com menced. General Concha and some members of the Opposition seem principally opposed to the conces sion of the Northern line." The ceremony of the baptism of the infant child of Prince Henry of Bourbon, brother of the Bing of Spain, took place on the 22d with great pomp in the church of St. Sernin at Toulouse. On leaving the church handfuls of small silver coin were thrown amongst the crowd. The Espana states that the number of passengers on the railway from Madrid to Araujuez during the first three months of the present year has been 52,274, and the quantity of goods conveyed 12,164 tons. In the corresponding period of the precedinu year, the passengers were 63,785, and the goods 8,190. The falling off in the passengers is attri buted to the backwardness of the spring. was received by the Sultan, to whom he presented an autograph letter of Queen Victoria and made a speech, in which he pointed out to his Majesty the perilous position of the Ottoman Empire.

( From the Votes and Proceedings of the House of Commons.) EDUCATION (IRELAND). Motion made and question proposed—" That a select committee be appointed to inquire into the working of the national system of education in Ireland, with the view of ascertaining how far the instructions contained in Mr. Secretary Stanley's letter of 1830 have been followed or departed from by the commissioners, or in the practical operation of the system ; and whether and to what extent a united or combined education has been attained under the national system ; and also to inquire whether, by any further extension or modification of the rules framed by the commissioners or otherwise, the conscientious objections which many of the people o l f Ireland entertain to the sys tem as at present carried into operation might be reason ably obviated, so as to enable them to partake of the public grant, and render the system more comprehensive and national."

Three men were endeavouring to raise an oaken frame and bracket intended to receive the clock which it is intended to place in the tower now occupying the site of the old church, when the rope broke, and the frame, weighing 12 cwt. struck one man on the head, shattered his skull, and severely injured another. A double purchase of 2i-inch rope was in use on the occasion, but there was no leading block for the tackle fall. A coroner's inquest will investigate the cause of this calamity. SUSPECTED POISONING NEAR EDINBURGH.—On Satur day the police received information that a man named Thomas Neil, about 40 years of age, residing in Gifford park, had died from the effects of a quantity of laudanum administered to him by his wife. It appeared on in quiry- that the deceased was much addicted to drinking, and having come in drunk on the evening in question, he expressed a wish to go out with his wife, whereupon, in order to keep him quiet, and enable' her to get to the theatre, she sent out fo r a gill of whisky, and gave it to him mixed with a considerable quantity of the drug. She states, that on return home, about eleven o'clock, she found him, as she imagined, fast asleep in bed, and did not discover that he was dead till next morning, 'when all her attempts to awaken him proved fruitless. In these circumstances, the woman has been taken into custody, and the case Edinbu)vh , N g m. is undergoin i n vestigation by the proper autherities.— e .71 5 5110 69 121 59 i FOREIGN. 10 3 autwerp&Rotterdam 4d' 5 3 P.olgianEastn.

The St. Petersburg Journal of the 17th states that a fresh condition has been imposed on Russian subjects who desire to travel to foreign countries, namely, that they must not owe money to the Im perial Bank. The reason of this arrangement is that of late the Imperial Bank has become prin cipal mortgage-creditor of all Russia. The Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort announces from Moscow that the cholera has broken out in that city. The hospitals have been. placed at the disposal of the patients in eight districts. The number of persons attacked had not been ascer tained. The cholera continued at St. Petersburg. On the 14th there were 35 new cases-20 deaths and 13 cures. ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB.

Three great boat-races amongst gentlemen amateurs of position in society, and celebrity in the art of rowing, took place yesterday, and attracted a great assemblage of spectators. The first on the list was between Mr. Oswald Diver, of Great Yarmouth, and Mr. H. Playford, for a silver cup ; distance, from Putney t© Mortlake. The various boats accompanying the race having taken their stations, the gentlemen started at a beautiful pace. After the first two or three strokes, Mr. Diver began to take the lead, and off Messrs. Searle's had drawn him self more than his own length clear. Mr. Playford rowed very gallantly throughout, but never could change the fortune of the day, and eventually resigned near the conclusion of the stipulated distance. Immediately after this start, Mr. J. Payne and Mr. Kippinghall came to their stations at Putney-bridge, to row the same distance as the previous pair, for a similar prize. Mr. Payne took the lead, and although, as before, the opponent tried his utmost to work out of the "stern sheets," he was unable, and Mr. Payne won by two hundred yards. Messrs. Knight and Price were the competitors in the third race, the former being the Norwich champion, and the latter a celebrated London amateur. The course in this race was the same as the others, but reversed, the men rowing down from opposite the Ship at Mortlake. It was one of the greatest races ever witnessed but was undecided, owing to a foul occurring when within sight of the goal. Price had a fine lead at the go off, which he cultivated into four lengths at one part of the distance, but the beautiful lasting, not to say improving, qualities of Mr. Knight, brought them scull and scull at last, when a barge being in their course a foul occurred ; to determine which under its peculiar circumstances is a matter of considerable difficulty, owing to the gentlemen being so pressed and surrounded by boats. The umpire has reserved his decision. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian of this day.) MANCHESTER, APRIL 2G.—Not quite so favourable an account of business in Liverpool appears to have lessened the activity of the New York cotton market, but without affecting prices ; while a decline in the ex cess of receipts to 360,000 has somewhat strengthened the southern markets . , which are quoted ic. higher. But there is no return of confidence in cotton, either in Liverpool or Manchester. The settled opinion of con sumers seems to be, that their safety lies in buying only from hand to mouth ; hence the limited amount of busi , ness in the article, and the failure of every attempt to obtain the least advance of price. This caution in regard to the raw material is naturally extended to yarns and. goods. No parties are disposed to buy largely ; and, therefore, our market is inanimate, and the amount of business inconsiderable in yarns, and but moderate in goods • though there is rather more inquiry to-day for clothsi of the lighter fabrics, such as jacconets, ina,dapollams, printers, and some kinds of shirtings. Relatively, there has been less done in yarn than in clot. As regards the prices of yarns, there is now, in the medium and lower counts, so small a margin between the cost and the rates latterly demanded, as to have produced, during the last two or three weeks, a do'gged sort of firmness, upon which buyers can make no impression. The general characteristic is, therefore, that of marked steadiness. If any articles are to be excepted from this statement, they are some of the medium counts of warps, in which, however, there is no quotable change. In goods, there is fully as decided a firmness as in yarns. RoesnALE, April 25.—The flannel market still con tinues good, notwithstanding it is that time of tne year when it is usually fiat. The manufacturers have ob tained an advance upon their goods to meet the price of the raw material. The price of wool is still on the advance, and some sorts are becoming very s carce, more especially broke wool and noils. HALIFAX, April 23.—There were more persons in our piece hall to-day than for some weeks past, but we can not learn that much business has been transacted in any description of worsted good 4. The merchants are shy of giving out orders for yarn, at the rates asked by the spinners ; but where orders are given out, those rates are submitted to. There is not much doing in wool, and no change in the quotations. DUNDALK AND ENNISKILLEN RAILWAY. --It affords us much pleasure to be enabled to inform our readers more especially the commercial public, that the directors of this company have finally closed upon the terms for constructing the completion of the line from Castle blayney to Enniskillen.

EXAMINATION OF .axgr. ' . i5140444 'AVD E MI3E riftit _-.-0) NEWPORT, ISLE OF WIGHT,e4 3 , 9 , ,--: vox , and other magistrates of this borift& —% A * iert., engaged nearly the whole of yesterday, at the To t n-hall, investi gating a series of charges, 'forgery, embezzlement, and other frauds, against Mr. William Wheeler Yelf, actuary of the Isle of Wight Savings Bank, whose defalcations amount to the large sum of 8,2761., the deposits exceed ing 60,0001. The prisoner was generally much respected on the island ; for many years he was the distributor of stamps, had a large printing establishment, and was a Wesleyan preacher. As may be imagined the suspen sion of the hank has produced much sensation, and the Town-hall was crowded by the depositors to hear the proceedings. Mr. Eldridge appeared to prosecute, and Mr. Bick ingsall attended for the accused, who seemed to feel his situation most keenly. In consequence of his delicate state of health he was allowed a ch a i r . _ _ Mr. Eldridge, in opening the case, expressed his regret at being placed in the distressing position of being obliged to bring charges of so serious a character against the prisoner, who had held an important office in the society, and enjoyed the confidence of the directors and trustees; and although he (Mr. E.) would avoid everything vindictive, be must say that the cases were marked with an enormity which removed them from the general class of offences. This was not a case where, under powerful temptation, a man had fallen into the commis sion of crime, but it was carried on for a great number of years„ and even the sacred name of religion had been prostituted to enable him the better to carry on a system of forgery and embezzlement. Mr. E. then explained the system pursued at the Isle of Wight Savings Bank, and the way cheques were signed and handed to the prisoner for parties who might appear to have given notice for withdrawing some of their deposits. The first case of forgery he should go into was a cheque which had been drawn in favour of George Vine, when no such person had an iccount at the bank. It was drawn as though Vine belonged to the Ryde district, and on examining the Ryde cheque-book, it was found that a cheque had been cut out between the counterfoils of the trustees of widow Towles and Martha Damp, the amount for which it was drawn being 761. 12s. 2d. The name was altogether fi w c i t t int witnesses o s s u e s s ; w there v o w u a l d s e n s o t a bl such ish p a e e r s l e o a n r , e a a n s d e h of e f w o o r g u e l d r y e . a ll Mr. George Kirkpatrick deposed, that he was one of the trustees of the Isle of Wight Savings Bank, and the prisoner had been act uary of the bank for many years. On the morning of the 16th instant he received the following letter from the prisoner, in which he acknow ledged the defalcations. The letter was read : " Saturday Morning, April 16, 1853. Sir,—An unsupportable and daily-increasing weight of anguish compels me at length to reveal a secret that has destroyed my health, and is, I feel, cutting short my days. " For years the fallacious hope of being able, by some means, to retrieve my character and repair the wrong, in duced me, in spite of my better judgment, to maintain a guilty silence, which I dare no longer continue. " The awful fact is, that the unbounded confidence placed in me was, many years ago, in a moment of sudden and great pecuniary embarrassment, abused, and the boundaries of truth and honesty once broken through, I was miserably led step by step in the downward path to ruin. I now feel that the only thing I can do is, by a disclosure, to prevent the evil spreading further, and beg of you and the other trustees at once to take possession of all I have on behalf of the sufferers ; and I do voluntarily place myself in the hands of the trustees, to receive that punishment which I deserve, as the only means I have left to prove my sincere repentance of the crimes I have committed. It will be the UTOWneCe.isary for prompt and imme diate action, as I fear hourly a distraint from the Crown, which your possession may prevent. " Before you receive this I shall have broken the terrible secret to my unfortunate and innocent wife and son, and. may God support them under the awful trial ; and I sin cerely hope they will experience that merciful consideration and pity from your hands, and the hands of the trustees, which I dare not hope for, and do not deserve. " I am, Sir, your unfaithful; but truly penitent servant, • " fir. W. Ir." Witness afterwards saw the prisoner, who explained the manner in which the frauds were committed. He said it was by getting false cheques signed by the trustees, and by abstracting the cash that ought to have been taken to the bank afterwards altering figures, and falsi fying the accounts. He s t a t e d th at t h e sum deficient was 8,2761., that it commenced in 1839, and continued until 1849. Prisoner bad since placed in witness's hands a paper, which he said was a true statement of the abstractions. It was as follows :—ln 1839, 210/. ; 1840, 630/. ; 1841, 735/. ; 1842, 1791..; 1843, 4501. ; 1844, 130/. ; 1845, 5581. ; 1846, 501. ; 1847, 7601. ; 1848 and '1849, 1901. There was neither promise nor threat used in his making the statement. Mr. Kirkpatrick then deposed that the notice produced purported to be the claim of George Vine, of Ryde. It was in the custody of the prisoner. The account should appear in the Ryde books. The numbers appropriated to that town were from 5,000 to 7,000. Notices from Ryde were sent by the secretary of that branch every week, and laid on the table with the cheque-book. It was the prisoner's duty to prepare the cheques which were signed by the acting director. The prisoner re ceived the notices from Ryde. The filling up of the blank in the cheque produced was in his handwriting. The cheque was drawn to pay 761. 12s. 2d. Had examinedtbe index of the Ryde ledger, and could not find the name of George Vine. In the book of counterfoils of the Ryde cheque-book, produced between those of the trustees of the widow Towles and Martha Damp, one had been cut out. Had looked through the coun terfoilS, and there was not one for the cheque drawn in the name of Vine. He produced the Newport ledger, and showed that under an old number, 4,633, 17th August, 1846, was the name of George Vine, labourer, Newchurch. The account was in the handwriting of the prisoner. Mr. Mollett, manager of the National and Provincial Bank, Newport, and treasurer of the Isle of Wight Savings Bank, produced a cheque for 761. I2s. 2d. ; it was signed W. W. Yelf, actuary, and Joseph Maude, director. The blank was filled up in the prisoner's hand writing. He was in the habit of paying into the Na tional and Provincial Bank the money received at the Savings Bank. 'On the 9th of July, 1849, he paid in the cheque produced, with coin, to the credit of the di rectors ; he produced the slip with the items, they amounted to 2551. No cheque was cancelled by the late Mr. James Cowdery. The money and cheque, tied in a bag, were in the custody of the prisoner. Mr. Eldridge then proceeded with another case, which occurred on the same day, the 9th of July, 1849, in which by changing a 5 into a 3, a fraud of 201. had been effected. It appeared a Hyde remittance of 531. 7s. bad been altered to 331. 75., which was clearly proved in evidence. The next case gone into was another of forgery in the name of Robert Lock, for 741. 4s. 2d., which *as esta blished. The evidence of the Rev. Joseph Maude, who signed,the cheques as one of the directors, being neces sary, and that gentleman being daily expected from Wales, the further examination of the prisoner was ad journed for a few days, in order that the above case might be completed. Mr. Eldridge remarked that he had one more charge to bring forward, and if in the examination then going on, anything material amongst the many • instances should strike attention, he would submit them to the court. The prisoner was then removed. It is anticipated that little of Yelf's estate will be al lowed to go against the loss sustained by the depositors. A. distraint for 1,500/. has been put in by the Crown for arrears in the prisoner's stamp actount, and it appears that an execution was previously in. The trustees and directors of the bank have requested the depositors to leave their pass-hooks for examination by the London accountant, who is now engaged investi gating the . affair. SAMARITAN FREE HOSPITAL FOR WOMEN AND CHILDREN.—The annual dinner in aid of the funds of this excellent institution will take place at the London Tavern, on Saturday.

ITALY. A telegraphic dispatch from Turin, dated Mon day, says :—" In the Chamber of Deputies yester day, M. Brofferio put some questions to the Minis try on the subject of the seizure of journals lately made at Genoa. The Ministers of Justice and the Interior replied, and maintained the legality and the opportunity of the measures which had been adopted. The Chamber passed to the order of the day pure and simple." The Piedmontese Gazette. of the 23dthas the fol lowing article in its first column : " The Milan Gazette of the 20th quotes au article from the Sentinella Cattolica of Nice, of the 13th, respecting a pretended stay of Garibaldi at Nice, and imaginary connivance at it on the part of the authorities whose duty it is to provide for the safety of the State. Before the said article was repeated by the Milan Gazette, the Go vernment of the King had considered it its duty to in quire who was the author of it, and having learnt his name, to invite him to declare what proofs or what cir cumstances he had in support of his allegations • upon which he confessed that his statement was solely founded upon vague rumours, the origin of which he could not even point out. One fact alone alleged iu that article is true, substantially at least. A British schooner did in deed pass a few days in the port of Nice, and when she got under weigh she fired off five guns at about a mile's distance from the port, for the purpose of saluting a joyous company who were at supper, and with whom the captain of the schooner had passed the evening. The schooner belongs to one of the members of the British Yacht Club." The Giornale 'di Boma of the 19th contains a notice from the Peruvian Legation at Rome, an nouncing that orders have been received to have an equestrian statue of General Bolivar executed for that government, besides twelve statues more, and inviting artists to address themselves to the Embassy for further particulars. A letter from Naples, dated March 24, stating that news had been received there of a soldier having been murdered at Palermo, and that to the dagger with which he had been stabbed was at tached a paper with the words, " Vengeance of Mazzini," that a great number of arrests had been made, that five persons had been immediately shot, and that General Filangieri, the Governor of Palermo, had published proclamations announcing severe measures for the repression of any attempt at insurrection, which was published rather more than three weeks ago in one of the Paris journals. The Constitutionnel now publishes a letter from Pa lermo, dated the 15th, and signed Caldareira, in which the writer asserts that the murder spoken of was never perpetrated, and that no proclamations of the nature alluded to had been published. All that was true in the letter of the 3d, says M. Caldareira, was the fact that arrests had been made of some conspirators against the Government. Four of them were condemned to death for having concealed arms, but the king almost immediately granted their pardon. GERMANY. A letter from Fribourg of the 23d says —" Per• rier has been brought before the court-martial. He wore a blouse and spectacles. On the table had been placed a pistol with seven barrels, the carbine, the sabre, and the cartouch box which belonged to him. He appeared quite unconcerned : the wound which he received on the head is very slight. Ma jor Gerbex saved his life by warding off a thrust of a bayonet which was directed against him. The Public Prosecutor demanded the application of the punishment of 30 years in irons. The civic guard unanimously demanded that he should be con demned to death. The court adopted the applica tion of the Public Prosecutor, and has thereby caused great excitement among the civic guard, as they say that in a few months he will have obtained his pardon, and will make a fresh attempt at revolt. Col. Perrier has not given any information as to who were his accomplices. He pretended in his defence that he had no int e nti on of shedding blood. Never theless it was he who distributed the powder, and he was himself fully armed. The fanatical cure of Torny and Louis Week h ave b een arrested.

It has already been stated that the Second Chamber of Prussia has rejected by 147 votes to 139 the authorisation demanded by the Government to prohibit without a previous judicial decision, the introduction into Prussia of foreign publications. Before this vote was come to, the Chamber admitted an amendment presented by the Catholic fraction, declaring that the authorisation, if granted, should only apply to works published out of Germany. The ministers were called on to declare, if after this de cision, they would withdraw the bill they had pre sented, but they declined_ to reply. Being pressed, however, they eventually declared that if the prin cipal article were rejected, the Government would
