Mr. H. Moos in the chair. The following laa abstract of
the report of the directors :
" The cables continue in good workieg order, and act
with complete efficiency. The number of manages trans-
mitted has nearly tripled that for the half-year endieg in
December last, and is still increasing, whilst the ordinary
expenditure ie about the same. The shareholders were in-
formed by the last report that the directors were then
looking forward to secure a systematic tannernimion of tele-
graphic communication through the Italian kingdom. During
the past half-years considerable improvement m sueh trona-
-111611013 has been effected, and mermen am forwarded sad

and Cape Carbonara in Hardin* shall be in working order.
The usual payment of dividends (8 per cent. per annum) on

PRAYER ORDERRIT. BY THE BISHOP OF OXFORD

11! ItROARD TO THE AMERICAN WAB

Mr. H. tIsYYOQB asked the 8;;;Ziy Oflisto for
the Home Departmeet whether, having respect to the Act
of Uniformity, 13 and 14 Car. 2, clergymen in the diatom
of 'Oxford were bound $ obey the injunction of the Bishop
of Oxford which directs them toned the following notice at
the °optimise of the Nicene Creed :—" You are earnestly
desired to make your humble supplicatiom to Almighty
Ood, who is the author of peace, and lover of concord, that
Be will promote pawn among our brethren in Amnion. and
inspire their hearts with Christian Putty and fellowship."
And also to make "two short pauses," one in the mum of
Litany, and the other in the coarse of the payer for all
sorts and conditions of men.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that in the absence of
the Secretary of State for the Horne Department he wished
to say a few words on the subject. The question referred
to the Act of Uniformity, which contained two main pro,
visione—one deseribiog the nee of the Common Prayer Book,
end the other forbidding the use of any form or ceremony
other than what was prescribed in that book. There were
two questions involved in the hon. member's inquiry—via.,
whether the injunction of the Bishop of Oxford was any
violation of the Act of Uniformity, and, secondly, apposing
it were not, whether be had power to enforce it emu the
Glary in his diocese? The whole matter especially
concerned the bishop, on the one hand, and
the clergy of his diocese on the other, and was
not by any means one in which the government could
interfere. The bishop, in a letter addressed to the arch-
deacon. bad stated what his views on the subject were.
Re bad taken upon himself the respoesibility of his
own conduct, and it wu to be presumed he bad
not done so unadvisedly. Under those cumunstancea,
for the Rome BserfAary, it cornered to him that
speaking
re coeversient course, and the one most likely to end
in a proper decision of the question, was to leave the clergy
to adopt, upon their own responsibility, whatever enema
might benercesary for ascertaining what the law was on the
two points he had mentioned.
ADVRRTMENENTB UPON OMNIBUSES. .

Sir G. BOWYER, in the absence of Colonel Dame,
asked the Seeretiary of State for the Home Depertensot if
the Polies Cbminiesioner bed soy instructions to permit
smailinees white led been oonverted into advertising vans
to matinee to carry pesesingers, contrary to Mr. Fitsroy's
act for the prohibition of advertisina vans,
Mr. CLIVE, in the ahem* of the Home Secretary, mid
the act gave power to the police to interfere with a view to
mean light and ventilation in omnibuess, but they had no
power to prohibit the dimplay of advertisements on those
public conveyances. To prevent their being used for the
OMof advertising fresh legislation would be required,
legislation would be much opposed, se large incomes
were derived from this source by omniltue conipmissa

Grolivenor Discount Company for 60L, under which his
furniture had been taken ; wu still due to the corn-
pup. It was submitted that the bankrupt bad contracted
debts without probable meaty of paying them.
Mr. Sargnad, for the bankrupt, objected to anything
being set aside nut of the bankrupts future earnings, as no
redder appearedto complain. The principal creditor was the
it.,. Geo. Preston, of Lancashire, a friend of the bank-
rupt's family, who bad advanced him 100 f. A recent decision
of the Lord Chancellor bad ls id down as an inflexible principle
that the court bad no discretion under the 159th section, but
was limited to considering the offences there defined. In this
ease no such offence had been proved the court could not
therefore punish the bankrupt, as it would do by granting •
conditional discharge.

A DRUNKEN PotriveitArt ON THE EDINBURGH AND
GLeetiow Itatiwar.—Another terrible catastrophe on the
Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway has just been avoided by
a marrow chance. A yointsman at the Polmont station was,
on the afternooa of k ridgy last, found drunk and incapable
at his post at the junction. The discovery was made the
station-muter, who was somewhat surprised that the signals
were not arranged for the train coming from Edinburgh for
Glasgow and the north shortly before five o'clock p.m. On
proceeding to the junction be found the pointaman unable
to look after himself, far leas to manage the signals. The
Matins-roaster immediately got 'instance in time to prevent
a catastrophe. The offender (John Sinclair), who has been
for many years in the service of the company, war yesteS
brought before Alexander Macfarlane, Esq., of Thorn
J .P., and sentenced to two months' imprisonment with
labour. He is now in Stirling pol.

strenuous exertions are being made in all the northern towns
to gather warm clothing to send off to them.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

PRUSSIA.

The King has just give!: the following reply to
an address presented to hint by a deputation from
Letzlingen
I am happy to see around me men of all ranks who par
ticipate in my views. We live in difficult times. People
will not place confidence in my words ; they seek to cause
my intentions to be suspected among the populations
of the town and country ; they forget nothing in
order thus to mislead public opinion. I shall be
faithful to my word, I shall maintain the constitution, but
not in the sense that those wish to give it, who attack the
throne and the crown, seeking to weaken the royal
power which I hold from God. Last year I took
the crown from the altar. I received it from
God with humility—l wish to wear it with
humility, but I am not willing that the royal
power should suffer from the attacks of its adver-
saries. I believed the oreanisation of the army to be
necessary in order to render less heavy the charges of the
country in critical moments, and, further, to equalise the
obligation of military service in time of peace. It is desired
to reduce the army, but the country has need of it against
external enemies, and against others from whatever quarter
they may come.

BELCIIIIM.

Correspondence from Brussels gives an account
of an interview at Laeken between the King of the
Belgians and the municipal council of Antwerp, who
had come as a deputation to express the views of the
inhabitants on the subject of the fortifications. In
his reply the King traced the origin of the question,
the necessity imposed on Belgium of securing its
better defence, and the care which had been taken
to render the military services as little burden-
some as possible. He did not omit the argument
by which military expenses are everywhere justified
and especially in England. "The grand object of '
national policy," said his Majesty, "ought to be
to maintain the neutrality of the country ; but this
policy will only obtain the confidence of all our
neighbours, when it shall give them the conviction
that the country is really strong and in a position
to fulfil the obligations which are imposed on it by
its political existence."
After this speech the King withdrew without
making any further remark. The remarks and the
manner of the King have produced some emotion in
Belgium. The municipal council of Antwerp
assembled, and after a very stormy sitting, twenty-
one of the thirty members of which the council
is composed gave in their resignation. The bur-
gomaster and aldermen continue at their post, but
their conduct has not satisfied everybody. At the
moment when the burgomaster left the Hotel de
Ville, he was received with noisy manifestations.
The commission of the military services has an-
nounced, byplacards, the earlyholding of a meeting,
without mentioning the day. The Indipenciance
Beige informs us that the ex-councillors protested
against the violence of which the burgomaster has
been the object.

THE CITY BANII,dIANCHASTER.

Jonah Andrew, late manager of the Manchester
City !Utile. wee brought up at the City Police-court yester-
day, in order that some tonnal evidence might be taken to
complete the case upon which ho wee committed at the last
examination.

Mr. Cohbett asked what bail would be allowed.
Mr. Rees said that this question was considered by the
magistrates on Thuraday last. Cour.idering that the offence
was one of great and serious importanee to the whole mer-
cantile community, they had decided that the prisoner must
find two sureties in 3001. each, and enter into his own recog-
nisance in GOO/.
The prisoner was then removed.

THE REV. MIL MACHAVOHT.—Dr. M'Neill has
written to the Liverpool Poet to correct a statement
attributed to him by that journal, to the effect that Mr.
Macnaught wu seeking readmission to the church. Dr.
M'Neill says :.-••• What I said was, that I had great
pleuure in hearing from a friend (whom I named), who
told me without reserve and authorised me to repeat. that
Mr. Maccsaught's father had announced an entire change
in his son's opinions. Concerning any steps conse-
quent on that change which Mr. 31 acnsught has taken,
or intends to take, I said nothing, because I knew
nothing."

As the season of navigation draws towards the
close, the shipments of produce become more active. During
the past week there has been shipped from this city of flour
and grain equal to 2,308,440 bushels, of which fully one-
half was corn. The receipts of produce during the week
were 1040 liberal, amounting is flour and grain to 2,099,580
bushels ; and ) et the receipts of wheat are light as compared
with the receipta in the correspondiog week in 1861—show-

CLFAKEN WELL.

Patrick Cochran, a low , pow erfulfilmult fellow, who de-
scribed himself as a costermonger, but who is well known
to the police ea a thief, was charged with stealing from the
person of John Perry the sum of 21. 10s. at Islington.
Mr. Wakeling appeared for the prisoner.
From the evidence it appeared that the prosecutor had
been drinking rather freely, and the previau afternoon he
west into a public-house, and was then seen by the pri-
soner to change some money. A short time afterwards the
prisoner caught hold of the prosecutor, pinned him against
the wall, and thrusting his bands into the prosecutor's
pocket, stole 21. 10s. in gold. With this he made off, and
would have mad* his escape bad it not been for police ser-
geant Richard White, 14 N, who seeing him running, and
knowing that he was a thief, stopped him, and immediately
afterwards he was given in custody. On the road where
the prisoner been running two sovereigns were found
by the polies.
The prisoner said he supposed he should get transported
for this, but he was as innocent as • new-born babe.
The police stated that the prisoner had twine before been
convicted of felony and robbery from the person.

FATAL ACCIDENT IN THE LONDON DOCKS.

An inquiry was held at the Wellington Tavern,
Cannon-street-road, St. George's-in the-East, late last night,
by Mr. IL Ream Waithew, the deputy coroner, respecting
the death of John Ducan, ged 20 years, who lost his life
under the following circumstances :
Mr. George Caps said that last Satunlity evening deceased
was passing from the ship Glendower, lying in the London
Docks, along a stage 80ft. in length and only Tlin. in width,
when he slipped and fell off into the water, his head
striking the mooring irons with terrible force ID the descent.
He was got out of the water in a few minutes dead.
Heury Enston said that the long stage wan much too
perpendicular, and there was no hand-mil ;if there had
been, the accident would never have occurred.
It was stated that similar accidents were of frequent co-
mmence.

Dr. Beth Smith mid that the deceased's skull was fear-
fully injured by the fall, but that the immediate cause of
depth Md. drowning.
The jury returned a verdict— " That deceased lost his life
accidentally in the London locks; and the jurors recom-
mend that the Landon Dock Company should io future
muse head rails or other protection to be affixed to Stages
to prevent the recurrence of such accidents."

SHOCKING HURD= NEAR PRESTON.

A diabolical murder has just been perpetrated at
Ribclieeter, a small village a few miles from Preston. TM
victim of the outrage is an old woman, 80 of age,
named Ann Walne. She was a widow and kept a beer.
house called the Joiners Arms in Fleet•streetdane, Rib.
cheater. Ordinarily she resided by herself. Beyond keep-
' ing the beerhouse she was the owner of a few cows, which
were attended b► a labouring man in the neighbourhood.
The impression in the locality was that the old woman had
a good sum of money. She was of careful habits, did a very
fair trade, and although four score years of age, managed
to serve to the bar and superintend her affairs with re-
markable facility. On Monday night she shut up the house
and retired to bed in good health. At 7 o'clock yesterday
morning the cowkeeper came to the place, and aa usual
knocked at the front door in order to get some cans, &c.,
out of the house. He knocked for some time, longer than
usual, but no one came to the door. He then went to the
back door and knocked there. Still there was no response
from within, and he began to suspect that there was some-
thing wrong. His idea was that the old woman was dead.
On looking on one side he found that one of the back
windows was open. This circumstance alarmed him, and
be went for one or two of the neighbours. On
returning, the door was broken open, and the
whole party proceeded upstairs, where they found Mrs.
Wallas in bed, with her hands tied to the higher bed posts,
and two shawls over her tam On removing the shawls
they saw that she wee quite dead. Her face was black, her
eyes were swollen up, and the blood was oozing from both
her ears. She had evidently been suffocated—first tied
down, and then gagged with the shawls and smothered.
The news speedily spread throughout the neighbourhood,
and one or two policemen were quickly on the spot. There
is no direct clue to anyone es to the commission of the mur-
der, but it is supposed that the guilty parties reside in or
about Ribchester, that they knew the circumstances of the
old woman, and that their object was money. It is not
known yet what, or whether anything at all, buboes stolen.
The village is greatly excited, and the police are busy
making an investigation into the subject.
