PARIS. WZDNESDAY EVENTNO.

The ferocious growlings of the disappointed
organs of the war party continue ; but 1 do not
think they deserve for the present the compliment
of an echo. M. Granier de Cassagnac, the most
truculent apostle of the doctrine of " natural
frontiers," records his opinion in the Pays that
what the Minister of Foreign Affairs speaks of as
a full, final, and friendly settlement of a grievance
of " fifty years' " standing, is no settlement at all,
and that the " general question " between France
and Prussia remains open. But after a torrent of
" big 'ords," he very wisely concludes that
the best thing now to be done is to
" rely upon the Emperor's wisdom." We shall
soon see in what direction this wisdom points ;
and we may be very sure that M. de Cassagnac,
after a few flashes in the pan to cover his retreat,
will leave off talking about the annexation of Bel-
gium and the left bank of the Rhine, if he learns
that the theme has ceased to be an agreeable one in
the highest quarter.
For the moment fashionable intelligence and the
doings of the kings and princes here on a holiday
is on the order of the day. This evening there is
a dinner of 80 covers at the Tuileries to which are
invited the King and Queen of the Belgians, the
Queen of Portugal, the Prince of Wales, Prince
Oscar of Sweden, and the Duke de Leuchtenburg.
Prince Napoleon has a sort of opposition grand
dinner at the Palais Royal.
M. Schneider has a grand dinner at his official
residence in the palace of the Corps Legislatif.
M. Drouyn de Lhuys gave a grand dinner yester-
day to the brother of the Tycoon of Japan and five
of his suite—the smallest number with which this
illustrious little personage consents to be attended,
the Duchess de Fernan Nunez, M. de Lichtenfeld
(the Dutch minister), and Baron and Baroness de
Seebach. At half-past 9 the young prince asked
leave to go away on the ground that he was very
sleepy. He habitually rises at 6in the morning.
_ . _ _

On Sunday Prime Oscar of Sweden dined with
Baron James Rothschild at the Chateau de Fer-
rieres, where Prince Metternich, Prince d'Hlnin,
the Duke and Duchess de Vallombrosa, the
Countess Prezdziejha, and the Countess de
Piadail-
lac were invited to meet him.
The latest announcement of the intended visit
to Paris of a crowned head is that of the Shah of
Persia, Naspo-ed-din, son of Mohammed Shah, to
whose throne he succeeded in 1848. He is ex-
pected in July.

The following proposed interpeUatiun was lodged
at the Corps Legislatif to-day :
We Jemand to interpellate the government touching
the ministerial decree which fixes the rate of payment for
exoneration from service in the army for this year, and to
inquire whether under the altered circumstances, the
figure of 3,ooUfr. may not be reduced.
E. PICAVD, J. FAVRE, CARNOT,
JULFS StMuN, E. PELLETAN, J.
MAGNIN, PICKON, LIMA.

This question, though one quite apropos to the
new situation, will doubtless be burked in the
bureaux, otherwise it must give rise to an inter-
esting debate.
A general meeting of the Social Science Associa-
tion was held at the Hotel de Ville, in Brussels, on
Sunday last, M. Vervoot, formerly President of
the Chamber of Representatives, in the chair.
Among the foreign delegates who took their seats
at the bureau was the venerable M. Van Lenuep,
the Dutch novelist, now 75 years of age. M. Cony-
reur, a writer in the Indipendence Beige, the secre-
tary-general of the association, read a report of
the steps taken with a view to fix upon a European
city in which to hold an international congress to
further the purposes of the association, and showed
how political reasons had prevented the choice of
either Geneva or Berne, Florence or Turin. Under
these circumstances the committee had received a
letter from M. Michel Chevalier, recommending
that the congress should be held in Paris, and an-
nouncing that the Prefect of Police had promised
to give the necessary authorisation. The com-
mittee, composed of MM. Michel Chevalier, Ch.
Dupin, and Perdonnet, which had been appointed
to organise conferences relative to the Universal
Exhibition, was charged to put itself in communica-
tion with the committee of the congress, and it
was held out that either the hall of the Senate or
the Corps Legislatif would be lent for the meeting.
The committee, therefore, being of opinion that
the congress could fulfil its civilising mission with

the most complete independence in Paris, moved a
resolution that the meeting sh ,uld be held in that
metropolis. A warm debate followed, which lasted
for upwards of four hours. M. Lacroix, the Paris
publisher, M. Potvin, a Belgian author, and M.
Madier de Montjau, a member of the French Le-
gislative Assembly of 1848, opposed the motion.
The latter more especially protested against the
idea of making the Social Science Congress a sup-
plementary entertainment for visitors to the Paris
Exhibition, by the favour, and nnder the control,
of the Prefi.ct of rolice. As to the promises
and guarantees which M. Michel Chevalier took
upon himself to endorse, they were absolutely
nothing worth in a country where the most
eminent citizens were not tree to lexpreas their
opinions on political and social questions. The
choice of Paris was defended by two Frenchmen,
and by M. Genilier, a schoolmaster from Liege,
and M. Berardi, the editor of the Lidipendance
Beige. On a division the motion was negatived by
29 votes to 27. MM. Vervoot, Couvreur, and Be-
rardi, considering this vote as one of want of con-
fidence, immediately resigned itheir seats in the
committee.

The Bourse was calm, with very little change.
Bute fell sc. for cash, and 20c. for account, clue-
ing at 69fr. 15c. and 69fr. 35c. Credit Filmier fell
10fr., and Mobilier 2fr. 50c. Railways were from
to 2fr. higher.

The increase of atmospherical pressure over the British Isles
still continues this morning, and b greate4 in the south. The
winds in the west have veered to south ant south-west, but else-
where are chiefly north-easterly there has been but little
change in temperature. The weather has become clearer to the
west, but is generally overcast.

TUE NATIONAL PORTRAIT GALLRRY.—The total
number of visitors to this gallery, during the year 1866,
was 24,666, being an increase of 8,024 over the previous
year. Twenty.two portraits belonging to the gallery were
removed to South Kensington on the 21st of March last
It has been found necessary to have some of the most
valuable pictures fixed in airtight cases with strong plate
glass before them. The trustees have a special pleasure in
announcing one of the donations made to the gallery during
the year. They say in their report, issued this morning :
" The Queen, in gracious compliance with the application
which the trustees in a former year bad addressed to her
Majesty, has on the 3rd of April last presented to this
gallery a full length portrait of his Royal Highness the
Prince Consort. It is a repl lea by M. Winterhalter of the
last portrait which that eminent artist painted from life of
his royal highness, and it seem, to the trustees, both in
faithful likeness and in artistic excellence, to afford to the
public a worthy representation of the much-lamented
Prince. On the receipt of this most welcome donation,
the trustees have presumed to express to the Queen how
much of gratification and of interest would be afforded by
a corresponding portrait of her Majesty. In reply, they
have received the gracious assurance that the Queen is
disposed to accede to their wishes, and will present her
Majesty's own portrait to the gallery at a future time."

Mr. Dill wyn, to-morrow, will move an address
for a return of the names of all persons employed or en-
gaged by this country in connection with the Paris Exhi-
bition and the Exhibition catalogue, the part they have
taken in the work, the nature of their previous employ-
ments or professions, and the amount of remuneration paid
or to be paid them ; and a separate account of all monies
paid or to be paid for travelling, rent, lodgings, and all
other expenses.

Mr. Milner Gibson proposes, to-morrow week,
to call attention to the state of the law respecting the
securities which are required from the proprietors of news-
papers and certain other publications ; and to ask the
Attorney-General, in reference to the proceedines which
have recently been instituted against certain newspaper
proprietors for non-compliance with the security laws,
whether it is intended to enforce the sevarity system upon
all publications to which the security statutes apply.
Mr. Chichester Fortescue, on the 24th, will call
the attention of the Howie of Commons to the present
position of the Queen's University in Ireland.

A Danish gentleman, who a few years ago bought
a property and built a house near Olevano, where he
habitually resides, visited Rome a few days ego. He de-
scribes his position as critical, the brigands having cap-
tured his next neighbour, and cut off his ears on account
of his inability to pay the ransom they demanded. Mr.
Bl—, the Dane, however, is a determined man, and well
provided with firearms to defend himself in his castle,
wherein, moreover, he has deposited 2101 b. of gunpowder,
as he is resolved to blow up the house in case the brigands
should force their way in, rather than allow himself to be
taken.

A Paris correspondent is afraid, if the truth
must be told, there is a little deception about the nation-
ality of some of the shows at the Paris Exhibition. Some
of the foreign restaurants—got up by Frenchmen—
have nothing really national about them but a few foreign
hired waiters, and one or two costumed women. The
kitchen in most instances is French ; the articles of food,
if foreign, bought in Peril. "When von go for your
thick café in the Tunisian house and bear the dismal
monotonous music of the East, you are told that the
natives are Jews of the coast, and not thoroughbred
Tunisians. A dreadful revelation was made to me this
morning. There is now open a Chinese house and theatre.
The Chinese seen on the stage have been picked up in the
streets of London, and the acrobats are Englishmen ! The
proprietor of an American drinking bar is a Frenchman,
and all the cocktails are liquid shams at the eatabl:sh.
meat I refer to, but the real thing may be h►d else-
where, with black gentlemen to wait on you."

The Freemasons of France are beginning to
address their " brothers of the mystic tie ^ of Germany.
All masons, the lodge called Perseverance, of Saumur,
says, are well aware that their first duty is to defend the
soil and the Bag of their country. But Germany and
France have no need to give proofs of their military
courage ; they should consolidate the fraternity of nations
and close the eza of conquests. There is now but one
serious conquest to make—that of liberty, of self-govern.
meat, and of the dignity of the great human family. The
lodge conjures its German brethren to join their efforts to
those of the French masons in the cause of peace.

AUDACIOTE ATTEMPT AT ROEBERY.—A young
man. of gentlemanly apprnnse, who refused to give any
I name and description of 'maelf, or to say where lie came
from, wee arraigned before the magistrates, at Richmond,
yesterday, on the following charge :—Mr. John Cockburn,
jeweller, of George-street, Richmond, was in his shop on
Saturday last, about noon, when the person in question,
who seems to be about 33 years of age, rode up to the
1 door on horseback. He alighted, and giving his rein to •
boy, came into the shop. He asked the jeweller to show
him some handsome rings, because he desired to purchase
one se a present for a friend. Mr. Cockburn produced •
tray, on which were 24 diamond rings, worth together
about 7001. After inspecting the jewellery fur • little
while the seeming purchaser suddenly snatched the tray
and rushed with it from the shop. He sprang upon his
hone and would have made off, but the jeweller pursued
and caught the bridle, whereupon the thief sprang from
hie saddle and lied. He some of the jewellery as
be ran toward the railway station, but the major portion
of the he put into his bat. He was pursued,
, and in due time was handed to the police. Yes-
;;;Nri.he remarked that the case against him was en clear
he had nothing to say whatever. He was committed for
trial.

LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND sou
RAILWAY.—(THIS DAY.)

The adjourned special meeting of shareholders
wee held at noon, in the International Hotel, Log,k,,,
bridge ; Colonel Baarraurr, M.P., in the chair.

The i:HAIRMAN, in opening the prom* logs, sald_Gt..
tlemen, I now have to declare the result of the poll on the
amendment to Sir Charles Jackson's reactance.
For the amendment there are 10,200 voter, red
against it 51,399—a majority of 41,199. (Cheers.) I
have therefore to declare, in the first inetante.
that the amendment Is lost. (Cheers.) I have then tonne
from the chair the resolution of Sir Chas. Jackson, bat be.
fore doing that I may venture to say that I earnestly hely
and trust that all angry feeling may now cease—(2w
bear)—that no time may be lost in adopting the
line of policy that will best conduce to the interest of the
proprietors. (Hear, bear.) I hope that this meeting may
psis off quietly and with good temper, and that all sex
differences may cease. What has been done has bete,
thought to be done for the best ; whether it was 90 en
not, time will show ; but this I may soy, that tamp most
anxious and earnest wish is for the welfare of the mm.
pany. (Hear, hear.) I now have to put the re.clut,ct of
Sir Chas. Jackson.

Mr. CONHIGHAM (one of the directors), before the resole.
tion was put, expressed a wish to explain the reasons which
had induced him to write to the newspaper rumours*
his determination to resign his seat on the board, H.
was sorry that Mr. Schuster and Mr. Laurie, the fernier
of whom was mainly responsible for tho present poeitios
af
the company, and the latter responsible in a farlq
degree, were not present to defend their policy. He eat
sorry to be obliged, while speaking in his own behalf, u
cast censure upon others, but he should state 44
all along he differed from the policy of tie
two gentlemen referred to, and that he 1.4
endeavoured to avoid litigation with Mr. Mackenzie, rag
to bring about an understanding between that gentlecas
and the board. It seemed to him that the past policy
the company stood self.conderuned, and Mr. Schui.ter, by
not corning to defend himself, had allowed judgment te
go by default. It was due to Mr. Laurie to state that
when lie took the chair he inherited enormous diffieultus.
lie (Mr. Uoningham) believed that the paying of 6 ',orals,
was not a judicious course, and that it was one of Ma
many elements of the misfortune that had befallen then.
He reminded Sir Chas. Jackson that Mr. Laurie sad the
Union Bank possessed enormous power, and that they hag
700,0001. of the securities of the company, so that even aa
selfish principles alone, it was the interest of the shoo
holders to treat them in •oonciliatory spirit. Referring**s
to his opposition to the policy of Mr. Schuster, he sod the
system of paying dividends which they could not pay, sad
going into debt with the banks, had been the milkose
whico had hung round their necks. He asserted that tie
depreciation of the value of their property was not °rip.
nated by the policy of the directors, but with the Map
of policy in parliament.
The resolution of Sir Charles Jackson was then put sul
carried unanimously.
Sir CHAS. JACKSON, who wed received with cheers, It.
joined that the directors had adopted a dignified cane,
and not demanded a further polL He felt that any fin.
they promulgation of the contest would only lead to seek
exasperation. Having now attained the object which is
had sought, namely, a full and thorough investigatica islt
the affairs of this company, he thought he might alms
them that their sole object would be the protection
improvement of the shareholders' property. (Cheers.) fie
had received several communications suggesting the advir
bility of at addition to the committee. He and his colleague
would take the matter into consideration, and they laf
already availed themselves of the services of Mr. It,
Horn, who, he hoped, would be on the board.
The meeting was then adjourned.
The Whsrncliffe meeting which was submit
was only of a formal character. The throe obi
bills had been withdrawn, and the bill in its
form received the sanction of the committee of

lion and the entire body of shareholders.

SOUTH EASTSLN RAILWAY.-(THIS DAY.)

A special general meeting was held at now d
the London-badge station, Mr. WATK IN, KY., in the
chair, for the purpose, if thought fit, of authorising tas
directors to exercise their powers with respect to tit
creation and issue of new shares or stock and debentiar
stock in lieu of debentures and borrowing on mortgage.
The CHAIM AN said the act which they we:trirce
of putting into operation passed during the priest re
aion. It consolidated the .18 existing acts of the comply
and placed under one view the entire capital scores el
the undertaking as it now stood. The result was tan
upon an expenditure of 15,831,000 f. they had a our*
over all their liabilities of 1,927 000 f. The directorspropted
to restrict the present expenditure to 98,0001., but user
the bill they had power to raise 782,50 W., and althoosk
it was proposed to take authority to exercise this ps.
vision in the act it was not intended to raise this ad&
tional capital, having reference, as it had, to the Keane
line, a portion of which it Would be necessary to go is
parliament to take power to abandon.
A series of resolutions authorising the exercise of the
power contained in the act of this session sere the
agreed to.
The CHAIRMAN then entered into an explanation of tie
preliminary agreement for a fusion with the Wan
Company. This agreement he explained was fused a I
principle known as that which applied to the Soil
Eastern Railway. It would be virtually an annual vile
thin of the net profits of the two undertakings, but w
capital responsibility whatever would be undertake&
Each oompany would have to deal with its oe
capital, and when the net amount of profit Isi
been ascertained each company would have to distribute g
among its own shareholders. There were points is tia
agreement yet open to settbament, but before it caddis
thoroughly carried out it would be necessary to obtain tai
sanction of the shareholders and to go to parlisroni
either in the present or the next session for a special act. The
matter was still under discussion of the two board+. of
he therefore proposed that the meeting should stand si•
journed for a mouth, when he would be prepared *
enter more fully into details.
A vote of thanks woe then given to the chairman, sal
the meeting stood adjourned for a month.

,41111 r. THY. GANLIGHT AND CONIC CONTANT.
This 1111.< an action by Fannie Smith to recover MOW.
for the loss of her property, which she alleged had been
destroyed in consequence of the negligence of the de-
feedast.' servants. She kept a restaurant at Saville-house,
icrAeraquare. which was burnt down on the .tth Feb.
owing to an explosion of gam, caused, as she said, by
the workmen in the employ of the defendants, who had
loin sent to take down a meter, not closing the orifice of
a pipe communeating with the rain. The defendants, on
the other hand. said that the pipe was closed with a bung,
which they contended was the proper mode, and that
it must have been taken out by a person named
Bloom, who kept a billiard mom on the same
premises. or his servants, with a view to obtain
a -apply of gar surreptitiously. To this the plaintiff re-
plied that, even supposing they had used a bung, that was
an improper and unsafe way of stopping gaspipe, and that
they ought to hove employed an iron cep. The defendants
pleaded not guilty ; and also that the plaintiff was
not the occupier of any part of Saville-house.
it was agreed between the parties that the
jury should only determine the question of liability, and
that the amount of damages should he settled by arbitra-
tion. There have been already two trials in this court at
the suit of another occupier of Saville-house, named Ward,
ariling out of precisely the same circumstances, and the
court above had poistpuned giving judgment upon an ap-
plication for a second new trial until this case had been
mad.

The magistrate uked if persons were in the habit of
selling tickets at the same place.
Witness replied that occasionally they would do so, hut
so soon as the company's officers saw them they were
removed. _ _ _ _

In this case a petition had been presented on the part
d the Canadian Loan and Investment Company (Limited)

valuable property in Canada which had been mortgaged to
them in November, 1863, so security for advances made by
them to Mean. Gladstone to the amount of 20,000/. with
interest at the rate of 6 per cent. The bankrupt,
it will be remembered, carried on a very extensive
business as merchants in White lion-street, Cornhill, and
the failure which took place in November, 1864, excited
considerable attention in consequence of the general belief
which existed in the stability of the hem. Mr. John Glad.'
stone obtained his order of discharge about a year since,

LORD'S GROUND.-(TRIS DAY.)

MARYLEBONE CLUB AND GROUND v. KNICKER-
BOCKERS (ARMY CLUB).
The present week is a busy one with the Mary-
lebone Club, this being their third match. The tint eleven
commenced their annual contest yesterday at Fumer's
Ground, Cambridge, against the University, and simulta-
neously, on the old ground at Lord's, another team tried
conclusions with the Knickerbockers (Army Club). The
weather was cold as ever, with the addition of
rain which began to fall soon after the play com-
menced,, which was at half-past 12. The Knicker-
bockers won the toss, and sent in Captain Ricardo
and Mr. Boatmen to face the bowling of A. Shaw
and Nixon (the ground men). The former was caught off
Shaw in the first over, and wu succeeded by 111 r. Faphin•
stone, who was bowled with the score at 3. Captain New-
man came next, and his partner, Mr. Boocawan, wu
bowled by Nixon when the noire was at 14.
At 1 o'clock the score stood thus :

SAD OCC ITRRENCE. —On Sunday night last Mr.
M'Queen and his wife, a young couple, recently married,
the former gardener and the latter laundress to Dr. Choi-
&Kett, surgeon and phydoian of Chertaey, retired to rest
at 10 o'clock. They occupied a cottage on the grounds,
and as Mrs. M'Queen had been only confined four weeks
back and was still indisposed, the husband slept on the
lauding, leaving his wife to occupy the bedroom. On
rising in the morning, shortly after G o'clock, he was
alarmed at finding the room tenantless. In a distracted
state he searched the house and grounds, and after
some time was horrified at discovering the life-
less bodies of his wife and infant child in the
lake intersecting the grounds. There seems every proba-
bility bat the poor woman noiselessly rose in the night,
went downstairs, proceeded to the lake, and after getting
over a somewhat high railing protecting the water, de-
liberately, with the infant clasped to her breast, plunged
into the stream. An inquest was held on Wednesday,
before Mr. Woods, the coroner for the county, and from
the evidence adduced, it appeared that no cause could be
assigned for the lamentable act, the parties having lived
together on the most affectionate terms. After a careful
inquiry, the jury, guided by a negative medical testimony,
returned a verdict of " Found drowned."

MAY-DAY IN YORICSIIIILE.—Last week the heat
was so intense in the North sad Rest Ridings that
rstions for sheep clipping were common, and some ITC
nate annuals were actually shorn. The weather was only
a foretaste of summer, and this week the cold is extreme.
On Monday the custom of May-day breaking of pastures
was observed, but the cattle were so starved they refused
to grade, and in most cases they were taken in at night,
and are yet in their winter sheds. Grass has run off sur-
prisingly during the last few days of cold east winds.

- A kETZOROLOGICAL CLOCK. —Father Seechi, tho
celebrated Roman astronomer and natural philosopher,
whose researches we have so often had occasion to men.
tion, it now in Paris, and passes the greater part of the
day at the Great Exhibition, where a curious clock of his
invention is to be seen, which automatically marks down,
on a long strip of paper that is unrolled at one end and
rolled up at the other, the hour, the direction and in-
tensity of the wind, the quantity of rain that has fallen
within a given time, the height of the barometer, and the
hygrometric state of the atmosphere. All this work is
effected by half a dozen pencils constantly in motion,
and which perform their task with unerring fidolity.—

MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

ONE O'CLOCK.

The dealings in public securities to-clay an '
not very numerous, but the markets are firm. The
unseasonable weather tends to check transactions,
but it is satisfactory to notice that they consist
chiefly of purchases, encouraged by a belief that
the relations of the great Continental powers will
remain upon a friendly footing for some time to
come, and that the course of the money mar-
ket during the next few months, with a steady
influx of gold to the Bank, will be favourable. Con-
sols are unaltered for money, but exhibit a trifling
improvement for the account. British railway
stocks are in demand at an almost general improve-
ment, owing chiefly to a hope that to-day's meeting
of the Brighton Company will lead to beneficial
results as regards the future working of that line•
Some of the foreign bonds are better, but Italian of
1861 have experienced a slight relapse, the recent
great rise having induced speculative sales, to realise
profits.

The di,oount market is freely supplied with
money, but the demand is rather good. Neverthe-
less, choice bills are still taken at 4 per cent.
below the Bank minimum. The rate for short
loans in the Stock Exchange is 2 per cent.
Consols are now quoted 92L to I, with div.,
for money, and 90 3-16 to ;, ex div., for the
account (Juno 6); and the Three per Ceuta.
Redused and New Three per Centa., 901 to g.
The Indian Five per Cent. is firm, with an up-
ward tendency. The present quotation is 1111 to
112.

Turkish Bonds of 1865 and Mexican are inquired
for, and have advanced and I per cent. respectively,
but Italian of 1861 are lower. Turkish Bonds of
1865 are quoted 31i to 32 ; Greek, 13S to 141 ; Spa-
nish Pauly', 221 to ; ditto Certificates, 14! to ;
Italian of 1861, 51} to I ; Mexican, 17 to 1.

American securities awl Atlantic Cable shares
are without change of importance. The 5-20
Bonds are quoted 7211 to 1 ; Erie Railway shares,
421 to II ; Illinois Central, 76i to 2 ; Anglo-
American Telegraph, lBf to b ; and Atlantic Tele-
graph Eight per Cent. Preference, 4i to 2.
As regards bank shares, Imperial Ottoman are
again fractionally higher, at I/ die., but
Union of London have declined 105., viz., to 38
to 39.

Financial and miscellaneous shares are steady.
International Financial are quoted 2a to ;
London Financial, 231 to 221 dis. ; General Credit,
2 5-16 to 3-16 dis. ; Credit Foncier, 6 to 1 dis. ;
National Discount, 61 to 71 prem. ; and Hudson's
Bay, 161 to 1.

A petition for the winding up of the Gellivar
Company (Limited) is to be heard before Vice-
Chancellor Hahne on tho 31st inst.

The third annual meeting of the City of London
Real Property Company (Limited) will be held on
the 3rd of June, when a dividend will be recom-
mended.

The annual meeting of the Trust and Loan Com-
pany of Upper Canada is convened for the 31st
inst., for the purpose of declaring a dividend.

HALF-PILBT THREE O'CLOCK.
Consols are steady, at 921 to k, with div., for
money, and 941 to ex div., for the account.
No bullion operations have occurred at the Bank.
At Paris this morning the Three per Cent. Rentes
opened at 69.25, showing a decline of per cent.

rir.antity passed, 141 chests, a which 1,464 have beat
sold, 1,246 were withdrawn, and 441 bcusht in.

WY.UNIDAT Evansa.

No transactions in bullion were reported at the
Bank yesterday. The operations since the d►te of
the last return have comprised the influx of
20,0001. from abroad, and the withdrawal of
60,0001.

The biddings for government bills on India took
place yesterday at the Bank of England. The
amounts allotted were :—To Calcutta, 18,75,000 rs. ;
to Madras, 35,000 rs. ; and to Bombay, 800,000 ra.
The minimum price was fixed as before, viz., at
Is. 1114. on all the presidencies. Tenders on I-
cutta and Madras at and above the minimum will
receive in full ; those on Bombay at the minimum
about 34 per cent , and those above in full. These
results show no material alteration, as compared
with those noticed on the last occasion.

The ship Callirhoe, from Bombay, with upwards
of 5,000 bales of cotton on board, has reached
Liverpool, after a passage of no less than 157 days.
At Lloyd's 50 guineas premium have been recently
paid to effect fresh insurances upon this vessel.
The London and North Western Railway traffic
return shows this week a decrease of 2,6231. com-
pared with the corresponding period of 1866, and
the Midland an increase of 3,3511.
With reference to the Bank of London, Mr.
Coleman, the official liquidator, has just ob-
tained the sanction of the Court of Chancery to de-
clare a further dividend of 2s. 6d. in the pound to
the creditors. This, together with the dividends
already paid, will make a total of 14s. 6d. in the
pound within a twelvemonth of the suspension of
the bank.

The fourth ordinary general meeting of the
English Bank of Rio de Janeiro(Limited) will be
held on the 29th inst.
Accompanying the notice of a call of 51. on the
shares of the City Offices Company (Limited), al-
ready referred to, the annexed circular has been
sent to the shareholders :

I am instructed by the directors to inform you that they
hare need their best exertions to obtain a loan to pay off
the outstanding liabilities on the Lombard-street property,
as promised at the last general meeting ; but, having been
unable to effect thie object upon reasonable terms, they
are reluctantly compelled to make the call of which I en-
close a notice.

-----
Creditors of the Estates Investment Company
(Limited) are required to send the particulars of
their claims to Mr. S. L. Price, of Gresham-street,
the official liquidator, by the 11th June, the 25th
of that month having been appointed for adjudi-
cating upon them.
The subjoined, on the market for American secu-
rities, is from Messrs. Satterthwaite and Co. :
There have been some considerable operations in the
London market for American securities during the past
week, the amicable adjustment at the London conference
of all difficulties on the Luxemburg question having
created renewed confident*, and induced parties who bad
previously sold in anticipation of war to repurchase their
stock. United States 5-20's by the latest quotation, 72$
to I. show an improvement since our last of more than 1
per cent. The price of these securities here is now, taking
exchange into account, almost identical with that on the
New York market. Illinois and Brie shares have reco-
vered the fall reported in our last, and close respectively
at 76 to i, arid 42 to j, with • firm aspect. Virginia Six per
Cent. Beads at 45 to 46 show an advance of 2 per cent., in
sympathy with the improvement reported from New York.
Atlantic and Great Western First Mortgage Bonds of both
sections have been more freely offered, and no buyers
coming forward, they are nominally 5 per Gent. lower.
The Consolidated Bonds are steady at 21 to 22, u well as

The subjoined on the bullion market is from the
circular of Messrs. Sharps and Wilkins :
Both the demand and supply of bar silver during the
fortnight has been on an extremely limited scale. The
demand lots slackened, principally on Recount of the con-
tinued rise in the continental exchanges which.hits occurred
since the probability of the maintenance of peace has be-
come more enured. The quotation remain* nominally
sa. old. per ounce standard, though itis doubtful whether
sales of importance could be effected at this rate. The
disturbed state of the country has probably prevented the
receipt of any quantity of dollars from Mexico, and the
prim hes been tolerably well supported at es. Did. per
ounce. Considerable shipments of gold are on the way
from America and Aus.ralia, which in the present state of
the French exchange will, it is expected, be sold to the
Bank of England.
