My memory, not much exercised in turf matters,
played me false yesterday when I said that the
great Paris prize had never before been carried off
by an English horse. It was won the first year
(1863) by Ranger, who then beat the winner of the
French Derby. It stands thereforethat thisprize has
been twice won by French and twice by English
horses. The lady in the imperial tribune yesterday,
to whom the Emperor was observed to pay great at-
tention, was the Grand Duchess Maria of ltussia,
sister of the Czar, who arrived in Paris two days
ago, and is now staying with a considerable suite
at the Grand Hotel. The Emperor and Empress
have both paid visits to her there.
The boys wham I mentioned yesterday as being
companions of the Prince Imperial at the races
were sons of Dr. Conneau, General Fleury, and
the late General Espinasse.
A curious piece of news, published " under all
reserve," is that the forthcoming number of the
Revue Francaise will contain a review of the Em_
perces " Life of Ciesar " by Marshal Niel.
This will, perhaps, be a lift for the second
volume, which does not go off well. Plon ad-
vertises that he has yet a few subscriber's
copies (50fr.) on hand, and as an inducement to
the public to buy he states (what is a fact) that the
first volume is now at a premium, and fetches,
when a copy can be got, at least 100 fr. But then
the first volume contains Ingres' picture of Julius
Cesar.
The rise at the Bourse on Saturday, produced by
the announcement in the Mouiteur that a confer-
ence had been convoked, is almost effaced to-day.
The too hasty impression that the danger of war
was averted because a conference was likely to
meet is giving way. The soothing articles of the
Constitution/lei are counterbalanced by the way in
which the Pays and Patric talk about the facility
of putting 600,000 men in line, and the intention
the Emperor to make " an appeal to the patriotism"
of the Corps Legislatif, if the conference does not
turn out satisfactorily. The Debate says this
morning with much apropos of the Patric's ar-
ticle, headed pretentiously, "There will be no
war" :—" The upshot of this language is that
there will be no war unless there is one, and that
if there is one France will be mixed up in it from
the very first." The fall in Berlin to-day, not-
withstanding the news received there of the
great rise in Paris on Saturday, contributed to
affect this market. Rento fell 95c. fur
cash and Ifr. 271 e. for account, closing at 64fr. 90c.
and 64fr. 60c. Italian fell 2fr. 20c., closing at
41fr. 55c. Mobilier fell 20fr., Credit Foncier 25fr.,
the Northern Railway 15fr., and Lyons 12fr. 50c.

The Saxon Chambers were opened to-day by the
King in person. His Majesty, in the speech from
the throne, said :—" You have assembled around
me at a momentous period—at a period when the
complications in the relations of the two great
German Powers threaten Europe with a sanguinary
conflict. It could not be the duty of those German
States which are not concerned in the ques-
tions at issue to espouse the cause of
either of the antagonistic Powers. They were
only bound to direct their efforts towards
the preservation of the peace of Germany. To
attain this result is still the object of my exertions.
I have endeavoured, as far as lay in my power, and
in common with other German Confederate States,
to carry out this intention. For this purpose it
was indispensable for Saxony to make arrangements
in order to be able to place her available forces at
the disposal of the Confederation. Having been
menaced with military measures on account of
those preparations, I applied to the Diet in
a peaceful spirit for mediation, but at the
same time called my people to arms, in
order not to be surprised by an unforeseen
attack. Even a State of little power would be
dishonoured were it not to meet unjustifiable
threats with courageous resistance. I confidently
expect from the Estates their approval of those
steps, which admitted of no delay, and their
authorisation of financial measures called for
by the general state of things, and particularly
by the critical state of trade. I have not yet
abandoned my hopes of a peaceful solution, and
my efforts continue to be directed towards that
end. I shall be ready gladly to co-operate
in a Federal reform corresponding to the real
wants of Germany, and to be carried out with the
participation of the nation's representatives. This
task, to accomplish which I would shrink from no
sacrifices, would be the best security against the
return of such a deplorable state of things as exists
at the present time. Strong in the conviction that
I have given no provocation, but only steadfastly
stood forward for the rights of the German nation
and of my royal house, I await with confidence the
vicissitudes of fate, and trust to the Most High for
protection in the just cause."

SUDDEN ILLNESS OF SIR MINTO FARQUHAR,
M.P.—lt is with sincere regret that we record the serious
and sudden illness of Sir Minto Farquhar, one of the mem-
bers for the borough of Hertford. The hon. baronet occu-
pied his usual seat in the House of Commons during the
early part of the sitting last evening, and was apparently
in good health, but quitting the house about six o'clock
for the purpose of visiting the library, on passing through
the lobby he fell down in a fit. Colonel Taylor and two or
three other members who witnessed the occurrence at
once raised hint, and carried him to Mr. Brand's private
room, where the advice and attention of Mr. Clement,
M.P. for Shrewsbury, and Dr. Brady, M.P. for Leitrim,
were at once afforded, and the necessary restoratives ap-
plied. These were so successful that at the expiration of
about three hours the hon. baronet was permitted to be
removed to his residence in Berkeley-street.—Herald.
Rust OVER IN THE STREETS.—Yesterday after-
noon Mr. St. ('lair lledfonl held an adjourned inquiry
touching the death of Sarah Dmyson, a lady who was
thrown down by a brougham in Chester-square. From the
evidence brought forward at the first inquiry it appeared
that deceased, who was deaf, was violently thrown down
by coining in contact with a brougham on Saturday
fortnight. A lady who was in the carriage was stated to
have acted in an unfeeling manner by refusing to allow the
injured person to be taken intothe same brougham with her-
self and by walking away from the scene of the accident
without giving her name and address. The driver of the
brougham conveyed the injured lady to her own home
in Ebury-street, where she lingered till the following
Thursday, and then died. Neither the driver nor the lady
in the brougham called to see the injured lady, and the jury
at the last inquiry wished the case adjourned in order
to enable the police to discover if possible the driver of the
brougham. The police, after great difficulty, accomplished
the object, and brought forward yesterday both the lady
and the driver. The lady, having been sworn, demurred
to give her name and address, as she considered it irrele-
vant to the inquiry—at least, so she was " advised."
The coroner said he should advise her to give all the
Lecessary particulars. In the event of his having to bind
her over to give evidence at the Old Bailey, he should
require both her name and address. The lady, after some
hesitation, then gave the following particulars :—She
said her name was Sophia Stavely, and she was the wife
of John Stavely, gentleman, Grosvenor Hotel. On
Saturday fortnight she was being driven in a brougham,
not her own, in Chester-square, and observed the coach-
man pull up. She noticed a crowd of persons around a poor
woman on the steps, and they all stared at her so fiercely
and rudely, that She got quite alarmed. A gentleman who
was, she thought, a surgeon, told her not to be alarmed,
as the poor woman was more frightened than hurt. She
was then asked if the woman should come with her into
the brougham, and witness said the woman might go
in, but she would in that case walk home. She told the
driver that when he had driven the woman home he was
to come to her at the Grosvenor Hotel. Witness was
quite confused. She (lid not show any want of feeling,
nor did she refuse to allow the woman to be taken into
the brougham after being knocked down by it, but she
" really did not know it was usual for ladies to leave
their carriages in such a case." The coroner said that in
such a case the highest lady in the land would willingly
give up her carriage, a remark which elicited 'Hear,
hear,' from several jurymen. The witness went on to
say that she did not call upon the lady who was knocked
down because she did not believe she was seriously hurt.
John William Selling said he was a coachman, and lived at
64, New-road. He was in the employ of Mr. Bramley, a
jobmaster, of Cadogan-mews. He saw a lady step off from
the curb on the day referred to, and he called upon her two
or three times to go back. He did not know whether she
heard hint or not. She seemed to run to the bone, instead
of going back. Would not say whether the horse'sshoulder
or the shaft knocked her down. He immediately pulled
his horse up on his haunches, and the wheels did not go
over the lady. She was then taken into hie brougham, the
lady inside saying she had no objection, but would walk
home. He drove the wen ion who was injured to her own
home, and then he went to the Grosvenor Hotel to see the
other lady. He admitted that he made no inquiries after-
wards as to what became of the lady injured, because he
did not think she was much hurt. The jury returned a
verdict of " Accidental death."—Times.

REFORM MEETING IN LEEDS.—Yesterday even
ing a meeting of the local branch of the National Reform
Union was held in Leeds, Alderman Luccock in the chair.
There was a large attendance, and the proceedings through-
out were of a most enthusiastic character. The first reso-
lution, moved by the Rev. T. R. Elliott, was to the effect
that tbo meeting expressed its thanks to Mr.
Gladstone for the able manner in which he hail
conducted the Franchise Bill thus far through
the House of Commons, and to Mr. Heinen and
other members who had voted for the second reading of
the bill. Councillor Kirk seconded the resolution, and
said he also thought that Mr. Gladstone should be thanked
for his efforts on behalf of the two bills. The resolution
was enthusiastically carried. Alderman Carter next pro-
posed " That although the Franchise Bill now before
parliament did not fully meet the just claims of the
working classes, yet in the opinion of this meeting it
would be better to appeal to the country than accept
such a compromise as would involve an increased rental
qualification either in boroughs or counties, or to give place
to those whose policy would be to obstruct every measure
calculated to prcmote the welfare of the people." Mr. J.
Lupton seconded the resolution, which was also unani-
mously approved. Alderman Tatham next moved a reso-
lution approving generally of the redistribution of seats,
but also stating the opinion of the meeting that several
large centres of industry had not been acknowledged in the
Redistribution Bill. Mr. G. 0. Bingley seconded the mo-
tion. which was carried. A memorial to the house em-
bodying the resolutions concluded the proceedings.
THE CHINA Missies.—His Excellency Pin-Ta-
Tin and suite, accompanied by Major Brine, 11E, Mr. E.
Bourne, secretary, and M. Ile Champs, interpreter, yester-
day visited the Tower and the General Post-office, having
been previously at Mr. Nadal's fountain manufactory,
Newman-street. To-day the mission will visit the several
ambassadors of the powers which have treated with China.
THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE METROPO-
LtTAN RAILWAY.—Yesterday Dr. Lankeater resumed an
adjourned inquiry respecting the death of Thomas Win-
stone, • platelayer, who was killed in the tunnel of the
Metropolitan Railway between Furringdon-street and
king's-cross. Three other men were injured at the same
time. The accident happened to the men while they
were lying down in the " six-feet way "to avoid two
broad gauge trains which were passing each other. At the
first inquiry it was stated that the " six-feet way " ex-
tended a bone .fide distance of six feet from rail to rail ;
that when two broad-gauge carriages were abreast there
was a clear space of two feet between them ; that if the
men laid down there was the clear space of six feet from
wheel to wheel, and that " man-holes " were provided at
sufficiently frequent intervals into which the men
could retire for safety whilst the trains were passing.
The jury were not satisfied with the statements as to the
possibility of deceased having been able to preserve his
life, and resolved to make a personal inspection of the line.
Yesterday they met at the King's-cross station, and whilst
two broad-gauge trains were in the station.walked between
them in the six-feet way, and measured the distance be-
tween the carriages. They also proceeded into the tunnel
to the scene of the accident, which was about half-way
between King's-cross and Farringdon-street. Here they
found that the six-feet way was narrower than in the sta-
tion, being several inches less than the standard six feet.
Upon the jury re-assembling at the Royal Free Hospital,
and after a long sitting, they returned a verdict of " Acci-
dental death," coupled with the follovring resolution: " The
jury recommend that the railway company employ efficient
and experienced workmen as platelayers, and strongly re-
commend an increase of the number of man-holes, and also
recommend that all such work as platelaying should cease
at the time the first train runs in the morning."

DEAN CLOSE AND POPULAR PLEASURES. Ac-
cording to annual custom Dean Close, in preaching his last
sermon in Carlisle Cathedral on Sunday afternoon, previous
to his departure for a holiday of three months, took occa-
sion to refer to the evils of the race-course, but did so
more briefly than is his wont. "We protest against such
ungodly pleasures as the race-course,' he said, " because
of their gambling and because of the many offences it oc-
casions. We condemn the theatres because we believe they
are productive of vice, of seduction, and profligacy of
various kinds. We protest against those lamentable
things which have just passed over us—those lamentable
hirings—because we are quite sure they are the chief cau,'e
of the wickedness of the county in which we live. We
protest against these things, but men won't listen to us,
and will fad ingenious arguments in favour of them.
I' What is the harm of this ?' they will will say : ' What is
the harm of that?' because they love them and are
determined to have them. Their hearts are in
them, and as long as their hearts are in the race-
course, the theatre and the ball-room, the pleasures of
the world, they will justify them, or, at all events, they
will continue to enjoy them." In the course of lithe same
formseron, in urging the claims of some local charity schools
support, the dean said, " When I was a boy education
was a matter of terror. It was a matter of 'Do this and
live, transgress and die.' The rod was the chief monitor,
the chief expositor. Now everything is changed throughout
the whole system of education bothof thericher and poorer
classes. Where it is understood—and it is more and more
understood every day— it is a spirit of love. We deal with
our dear children es intelligent persons—asbeings in whom
God has put a heart,andwe have learned that the strongest
ties are those of the affections. This is shown even in the
secular education of the present day. Our secular educa-
tion is imparted in a kind, attractive, intelligent manner :
and the children of the present day ought to know what
wonderful blessings are given to them in planting them in
such times as these."
THE STOPPAGE OF THE CONSOLIDATED BANK.—
NORWICH, MAT .—The intelligence of the stoppage of the
Consolidated Bank has produced a profuund sensation in
this city, as the establishment had a branch here. The
branch was opened in 1864, and was placed under the
management of Mr. B. Wilkinson, formerly in the bank-
ing house of Messrs. Gurney and Co., of Norwich. Under
the management of Mr. Wilkinson the branch was con-
sidered to be making good progress ; and towards the close
of last year business had been prosecuted with increased
advantage in handsome new premises erected at • cost of
about 3,000/. The establishment was closed to-day, a
I notice being posted repeating in substance the statements
made in the directors' circular published in the morning
papers of to-day.

CONSOLIDATED BANK.

i
)

In commenting last Thursday evening upon the
arrangement made between the Consolidated Bank
and the Bank of London, we drew attention to the
probability that bill-holders of the latter establiah-
ment would quickly put it to a legal test, and an in-
junction has been obtained from the Court of Chan-
cery on behalf of this class of creditors, restraining'
the Consolidated Bank from parting with any securi-
ties of the Bank of London, pending the decision of
the Court upon the arguments to be laid before it,
which is expected to be given on Thursday
next. It was at once seen that this pro-
ceeding made the position of the Conso-
lidated Bank untenable, as it could not, under
such circumstances, continue to pay off the deposi-
tors of the Bank of London. A prompt deciaion
was necessary, as notice, expiring to-day (Tues-
day), had been given of the intended withdrawal of
a very large amount of Bank of London deposits.
This draught the Consolidated Bank directors were
unwilling to take the responsibility of facing, and
hence their decision to stop. The Consolidated
Bank, in fact, had undertaken more than it had
courage or power to perform. The arrangement
with the Bank of London would probably
never have been entered into at all had
not the directors of the Consolidated Bank

felt that, from the nature of its engagements, a
stoppage by the Bank of London would prove the
signal for an immediate run upon themselves.
The kind of personal conflict which has arisen
between the two boards is to be regretted, but has
little bearing upon the general question. Any dis-
crepancy that may have arisen in connection with
the statements as to the securities of the Bank of
London is to be explained probably by the hasty
way in which the agreement was originally come
to. Apart from this the Bank of London had of
course given the Consolidated Bank a distinct
guarantee, covering all securities and liabilities,
ultimate recourse being had to the unlimited
liability of the Bank of London shareholders. As
regards thepersonal part of the matter, the follow-
ing letter has been sent to us by the solicitors of.
the Bank of London :

TO THE EDITOR OP SRL LOW&
Sir,—The letter of the directors of the Consolidated
Bank, published this morning, contains in its second para-
graph a statement which requires immediate explanation
on the part of the directors of the Bank of London.
It is undoubtedly true that errers to an extent involving
the surplus of the assets taken over by the Consolidated
Bank beyond the liabilities taken by them have been dis-
covered. It is equally tree, and it was admitted yester-
day by the directors of the Consolidated Bank, at a meeting
with the directors of the Bank of London, that such errors
arose in the hurry of negotiation, and were perfectly unin-
tentional, the correct data to arrive at the results being
before both parties when the error was made, and it is to be
observed also that the agreement between the Consolidated
Bank and the Bank of London contained a clause on the
part of the latter guaranteeing the loans, bills, and secu-
rities as follows : The Bank of London to guarantee
to the Consolidated Bank the due payment of all loans,
bills, and securities handed over."
An impression seems to prevail that the Bank of London
have handed over to the Consolidated Bank all their assets.
It is desirable that the correct state of affairs should be
known, which is, that assets amounting to two millions or
' thereabouts have been handed over to the Consolidated
Bank to meet the current and deposit accounts of equal
amount, and that assets to the extent of nearly one million
. remain in the hands of the provisional liquidator of the
Bank of London to meet the acceptances and other
liabilities not taken over by the Consolidated flank, be-
sides a large amount of short hills held for the account of
foreign customers, on whose behalf the Bank of London
had given their acceptances. We are instructed by the
directors of the Bank of London to request that you will
give publicity to this letter.—We are, &c.,
I'AINE and LAYTON.
I' 47, Gresham-house, London, May N.
Following yesterday's announcement, Mr. W.
C. Boors, manager of the Consolidated Bank,
and Mr. John Ball, the accountant, have been
appointed by the Court of Chancery provisional
official liquidators of that bank, with a view to the
protection of the assets in the common interests.
The Consolidated Bank was originally the Bank of
Manchester (Limited), and took up the businesses
of Messrs. Heywood, Kennard, and Co. and
Messrs. Hankey and Co., both influential and old-
established London firms. The authorised capital
of the bank is 2,000,0001., the subscribed capital
1,500,0001., and the paid-up capital 600,000/., there
being 150,000 shares of 101. each, with 41. paid.
A meeting of directors of the Consolidated Bank
will be held to-day to discuss the present posi-
tion of affairs. A rumour was circulated yesterday
afternoon that the bank contemplates resuming,
but it was unfounded. The Consolidated Bank has
an establishment in Fenchurch street and another
in Threadneedle-street (the premises lately occu-
pied by the Bank of London), in addition to a
branch at Manchester, and another at Norwich.
At the meeting of the shareholders held on the
25th of January last the net profits for the half-
year were stated at 61,138!., and a dividend and
bonus equal together to 171, per cent. per annum
were declared. The reserve fund was then in-
creased to 81,8081., and the proprietary was de-
scribed by the chairman as most influential.
The balance-sheet, made up to the 31st
of December, showed the amount due by
the bank upon current, deposit, and other
accounts to be 3,037,4351., while the acceptances
were stated at 780,563/. As regards the assets,
the investments in New Three per Cents. and
Three per Cents. Reduced then reached 117,036/. ;
the cash in the bank, at the Bank of England, and
at call, 718,110/. ; and the bills discounted, loans,
and other securities, 3,695,2491. Subjoined is a
list of the directors :—Mr. John Pemberton Hey-
wood, London and Liverpool, chairman ; Mr.
James Aspinall Turner, Manchester, deputy-chair-
man ; Mr. James A. Bannerman, Manchester ; Mr.
Matthew Curtis, Manchester ; Mr. Thomas Fair-
bairn, London ; Mr. Alexander S. Fliilay, M.P.,

DEATH IN THE PULPIT.—On Sunday, during the
morning service at the parish church of Maker, four miles
from Plymouth, great consternation was caused among the
congregation by a most melancholy incident. In the
absense of the Rev. E. Trelawny, the vicar, whose health
has for a long while precluded him from duty, the whole
of the service devolved upon the curate, the Itev. Samuel
Whiddon, who having gone through the ordinary morning
prayers, was engaged in a discourse founded on Paul's
words in the first epistle to the Oerinthians xiii., 12, "Now
I know in part, but then shall I know, even as also I am
known." The sermon was delivered by the rev. gentleman
I with even more than his wonted animation ; but having
spoken a sentence, in which he marked with appropriate
and special emphasis the concluding word " overthrown,"
he suddenly ceased to speak, and fell hock heavily against
the pulpit door. Being a heavy man the door burst open,
and Mr. Whiddon fell against the banisters. breaking
them away, and alighting upon a small platform. The
congregation, which was unusually numerous, rose ea
masse, and many rushed to the assistance of their pastor.
Among those who did so was Mr. Little, surgeon, of
Anderton, who at once pronounced the rev. gentleman to
he dead. Mr. Whiddon was chaplain of St. Germans
union Workhouse, and curate of Torpoint, hut having
suffered from ill-health for some months past, had con-
templated making some arrangement by which he might
he relieved of the afternoon service at the latter place.
lie first attributed his illness to indigestion, and endea-
voured to obtain relief by taking much walking exercise.
While so engaged he one day met Mr. Worth, surgeon, of
Millbrook, to whom be mentioned the circumstance. Kr.
Worth sounded him, and informed him that he was suffer-
ing, not from indigestion, but from knee! itllll of the heart,
on which active exercise might have a very injurious
effect, and induced Mr. Whiddon to vide home. From
that time Mr. Whiddon has hecn cola cir,us that sudden
death would one day probably overtake Lim, and has fre-
quently made mention of his state. The deceased was
well known and much respected in the tieighbom hood ; he
was the son of the late Mrs. Whiddon, formerly landlady
of the Royal Hotel, Plymouth. He was about fifty-six.
years of age, and had two sons in the naval service, and
two manied daughters.— Waken Morning Rms.
