THE BOMBARDMENT OF VALYAILLIBO.

In the view of the Tinges the official account of the bom-
bardment of Valparaiso given by the Duke of Somerset
and Mr. Layard relieves Admiral Denman from an impu.
tation inconsistent with his well-known character ; it
throws on the merchants themselves a large share of blame '
for neglecting repeated warnings to remove their goods
beyond the reach of danger, and it leaves no doubt as to
the direct responsibility of the Spanish government for
this great outrage against the usages of civilised warfare.
One cannot but pity the British admiral who was compelled
to witness this proceeding with his guns silent,not because
he wanted the old spirit of Nelson, but simply because he
understood his duty, and knew well that his (ma govern-
ment, unlike that of Spain, would never sanction the plea
that " national honour " involved a breach of it.
The Puri contends that an interference under such cir-
cumstances would not have been an interference between
the belligerents, but between one belligerent and neutral
British subjects unjustly subjected to violence. If the
view of the Duke of Somerset is to be accepted and to pre-
vail, the sooner we withdraw our ships from the seas and
hand them over to our meu of science for playthings the
better.

The Spanish cabinet, the Herald says, has paltered with
us in* double sense, and has sent out direct and positive in-
structions to its officers to do that which it had given us the
best reason to believe it would refrain from doing at all.
But it is to be feared our own name has not escaped
reproach, and unless Admiral Denman gives a satisfactory
reply to the charges which are brought against him, the
Herald will be compelled to conclude that the honour of
our flag has been somewhat compromised and the interests
of our countrymen needlessly sacrificed. For this, however,
the alternations of our foreign policy are much to blame,
and the Herald sadly fears that our own government is
reallymore responsible than the admiral for what has taken
place.

Among the emigrants at Birkenhead there is a
young woman, about 25 or 26 years of age (a German), who
can speak the English language. This young person, with-
out hesitation, offered her senioes not only to interpret,
but as a nurse, and in both these capacities she acted until
the appointment of a regular interpreter and a staff of
nurses. Her noble and disinterested services on behalf of
her suffering countrymen having become known in Birken-
head a number of benevolent persons raised a subscription,
and on Tuesday Dr. Robinson, the medical officer of
health, as their medium, presented her with about 101.,
and informed her that it was also intended to give her a gold
watch, bearing a suitable inscription, se a reward for her
exertions to alleviate the sufferings of her fellow•paaaengea

Cotirt of uossiniarr—msil was held this morn-
fpf at aadhalL
rams swiss spe eas 7111:19031 07 TEI cm.

The LORD Maxon announced that he had had the honour
of an interview with his Loyal Highness Prince Alfred,
since the last meeting of the court, and his royal high-
ness had received him most graciously and courteously, and
in reply to the invitation to attend and receive the free-
dom of the City, hehad been pleased to appoint Thursday
the 7th of June, at 1 o'clock, for that purpose. (Cheers•)
Mr. SAUNDIRB, the chairman of the City Lands Com-
mittee, moved that the oommunication be entered in the
journals of the court, and he at the same time moved that
the matter be referred to the City lands Committee for
them to put themselves in communication with the Lord
Mayor, in order to make the necessary arrangements for
the reception of his royal highness.
Mr. Triuscarr, who had a motion on the paper that his
royal highness should be invited to a dtjedner upon the occa-
sion of his visit to the City to receive the freedom, said
that after the motion of Mr. Saunders he should withdraw
his motion and leave the matter in the hands of the City
Lands Committee. . .

Mr. H. L. TAILOR said he should be glad to know what
was proposed to be done.
Mr. SAUSDIMS thought that it would be much better if
this subject was discussed with closed doors, and the public
were consequently excluded while the necessary arrange-
matte were being made.

TEETH and PAINLESS DENTISTRY.• -The
fear of pain and dread of operation inherent to all deter
very many to whom ARTIFICIAL TEETH are of vital impor-
tance from availing themselves of the services of a dentist In a
practice fiiunded in 1830, and now extending over greater part of
the kingdom, an experience unequalled has been obtained, en-
abling us to offer even the most sensitive sufferer a system of
dentistry perfect in its absolute freedom from pain, a specialite
pertaining only to our practice, and for which her Majesty has
granted her royal letters patent. The system embraces the non-
interference with all stumps, however decayed, the supporting
instead of extraction of loose teeth until they become Arm and
useful in mastication, and the utter absence of all and every
operation, so that the moat nervous person can be supplied with-
out fear of pain or inconvenience. These teeth are cheaper,
more durable, natural, and comfortable than any yet produced.
Consultation free. Teeth from Is., sets frogs five to 25 guineas,
warranted. For the efficacy, utility, and mitten of this system

The annual meeting of the proprietors was held
at noon, at the (Aloes, 42, Old Broad-street ; Sir Marro
FLRQUKAR, M.P., in the chair.
The retiring directors having been re-elected, and Mr.
H. R. Ferrer having been chosen to fill the vacancy caused
by the death of Mr. Oliver Ferrer, and Mr. Richard Hoare
to fill that caused by the resignation of Mr. James Ferrer,
The Swarraav read the report. It referred to the out-
break of rinderpeet as an unfavourable feature in
Ireland. Agriculture and commerce generally were,
it stated, in • satisfactory position, and the count 7
had recovered to • great extent from the poli-
tical causes of disturbance. The directors regretted
that the net profits were not equal to those of
the two previous years, owing partly to the lower rate of
interest which had been received by the bank, but chiefly
to the larger amount of interest paid on deposits.
The amount of net profits for the year was
104.3911. 15e, 6d., making the rest or amount of
pndivided profits, 2:12,96W. ; and the board would be enabled
to pay in July next the lame rate of dividend as hereto-
fore, making the dividend for the year 21. 10e. on each
100/. share, and M. on each 101. share, this being at the
rate of 20 per cent. per annum.
The CHLIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
congratulated the proprietors that, notwithstanding the
adverse circumstances of the times, the bank never had been
in a sounder or better position than it was at that
moment. The business of the past year was good,
and, though the net profits were not equal to
those of the two previous years, that arose almost
entirely from the payment of an increased rate of interest
on deposits. He was happy to say that that
tank had not suffered in the recent panic, and that the
directors did not anticipate any loss. He was happy to
say that a letter received that morning from the manager
at Belfast, contained the following words The rinder-
pest is not spreading ; no new case has been re ."
After some discussion the report was ado , and the
meeting terminated in the usual manner.

WORSHIP-STREET._

...... _
Thomas Cooper, 40, was charged with feloniously forging
and uttering a certain order for the payment of money,
with intent to defraud.

Mr. Beard's statement on the part of the prosecution
was this—DL Kauffman Greenbaum, • wholesale boot
and shoe manufacturer in Crown-street, Finsbury, had in
January last the prisoner and a man named Joseph
Wheeler in his employ—Cooper was a foreman and Wheeler
a clicker. In the earlT part of that month two cheques—
one for 291. 4s. (drawn in favour of Messrs. Somerville), and
the other for a lacier amount (payable to " Self ")—were
presented and paid by the authorities of the Islington
branch of the London and County Bank. They bore
different dates,‘„ were perfect in the signatures, although
forgeries—the name of the drawer, " Kauffman Green-
baum," being clearly the same handwriting on each. Pro-
secutor was at that time unable to attach guilt to anyone,
although he entertained some suspicion from the fact that
Messrs. Somerville were parties with whom he had trans-
actions, that a legitimate cheque drawn in their favour pre-
viously by himself and placed on a file when returned by
his bankers was missing, and also that two cheques (blank)
had been taken from his cheque-book, which occasionally
was left in an unlocked desk. While inquiry was
pending on this matter, he discovered that robberies
of boots and shoes and leather material had been
effected on his premises to the amount of be-
tween 709/. and SOO/. Miller and Blogg, detectives
of the G division of police, were entrusted with that
affair, and almost immediately recovered nearly the entire
of the property by taking the clicker, Joseph Wheeler,
into custody. He was committed from this court for trial
with others, and, on being found guilty, volunteered to
make disclosures respecting the forged cheques, in the
hope that his sentence might be in some measure lightened.
Under such circumstances judgment was held over, and he
made a statement that immediately placed the foreman
(Cooper) in custody. He (Mr. Beard) could, however,
only proceed against the prisoner with respect to the
cheque for 29/. 45., there not being sufficient evidence to
touch him as regarded the other.
Evidence was then given by Joseph Wheeler, the con-
victed man alluded to, and the prisoner was fully com-
mitted for trial.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Thomas Anderson, gentleman, of No. 21, High-street,
Charlton, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with ringing
bells and knocking at doors in Oxford-street without a
lawful excuse.
Police-constable Reilly, 115 E, proved seeing the defen-
dant ringing and knocking at several houses in Oxford-
street, at two o'clock yesterday morning, his excuse being,
when taken into custody, " that he waa looking for •
friend."
The defendant said be had been drinking.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said that knocking at persons' doors in the
middle of the night was a most mischievous practice, and
he should fine the defendant 10s., or seven days.

THE FORTHCOMING TRINITY TERM.—Yesterday
the lists of pending rules for Trinity Term which com-
mences on Tuesday next, were exhibited. There is a re-
markable number of applications for new trials in the
three courts. In the Queen's Bench, of new trials there
are 2 for judgment and 53 for argument, some of which
arose out of the late circuit. There are 3 rules in the
special paper for judgment and 45 for argument, besides
which there are 13 enlarged rules. In the Common Pleas
there are 2 delayed rules and 33 rules for new trials. Of
demurrers 30 are already entered. Five matters are in the
list for judgment. In the Exchequer there are 7 rules in
the special paper, and of new trials 3 for judgment and 28
for argument. On the 31st instant the learned judges will
assemble in the Exchequer Court to choose their circuits,
and the senior judges will have the first choice. Mr. Jus-
tice Lush, according to " time immemorial." usage, will, as
the last made judge, be the vacation judge in town during
the long vacation. The Lord Chancellor will not receive
the judges, and the courts will commence business at ten
o'clock on Whit Tnesdm.

Among Haydn's older orchestral work the symphony
letter R is one of the most delightful for listening to it;
we see how much the greatest modern masters, even
the Beethoven, Spohrs, and Mendelsaohne, are indebted
to him for their freshest and brightest ideas. The band
played it as if they loved it, and the audience welcomed
it as one of their oldest acquaintances and greatest
favourites. Beethoven's eighth symphony is chiefly re-
markable for its allegretto scheruindo, one of the most
lovely little movements that ever flowed from the imagi-
nation of the mighty master. The two overtures, master-
pieces of Mendelssohn and Weber, were probably never
before played with greater effect.
Herr Auer, the young violinist who made his first ap-
pearance at the Philharmonic concerts, is a native of Hun-
pry, and only one-and-twenty. He was a pupil of Joachim],
whom be is following closely on the road to the summit of
' fame. His resemblance to Joachim in all the qualities
that constitute a consummate artist is most remarkable,
and were it not that ho falls short of that incomparable
performer
in fulness and richness of tone, it would be
difficult to point out any particular in which he is Joachim's
inferior. Taking his youth into consideration, he
certainly promises to equal any violinist that has
ever appeared. The concerto that he played is
one of Spohr's finest, and his performance was applauded
with the utmost enthusiasm. Mr. Rowland's solo on the
contrabasso was worthy of his reputaticn as one of the
greatest masters of his gigantic and most arduous instru-
ment. Mr. Santley had great and deserved success in
both his performances. His scene from Hummers Ma-
add( de Guise, in addition to its great intrinsic merit,
had the advantage of being almost unknown, for the above
opera, though a work of great beauty, has long since
fallen into oblivion. Madame Wippern, too, was entirely
successful. This lady is a favourite wherever she appears,
for she is in all respects an accomplished and delightful
singer.
At the next concert, on the 28th instant, Madame
Arabella Goddsud and Mdlle. Titiens are to appear.

TO TIM ZDITOE OP TRI EXPIZBB.

SIB,—All is quiet and calm again on the famed
Rpm= Downs, the victory of Lord Lyon being so generally
expected that the enthusiasm it created was soon over ;
but there is yet another great event to be decided
before the revels are brought to a conclusion,
and deferring all comments upon the Derby
and other matters tbat may require reviewing until Mon-
day next I shall endeavour to show your readers how
things 'tend as regard the Oaks. That it is a very open
race is everywhere admitted, the fillies being so moderate
this year, compared with the colts, that the idea is " any-
thing may win." However, if the favourites are not
clippers, the outsiders, so far as they can be judged from
their doings in public, are very moderate indeed ; and I
do not doubt that the talent will bit the mark in two or
three attempts when the competitors are paraded in front
of the Stand, as there are few signs of a second Regalia

MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

Owx o'CLocx.

The somewhat more favourable tendency of the
money market, and the announcement in a
contemporary that Prussia and Italy have ac-
cepted a proposal for a conference put forward
by France, have imparted firmness to some securi-
ties in the StockrExchange. The funds exhibit a
fresh rise of to I per cent., further
considerable bond fide purchases having been
effected on account of the public. As
regards foreign stocks, the principal feature is an ,
important advance in Italian of 1861. British
railways are likewise better in a few cases, but
financial and discount shares remain dull, at
yesterday's fall, with the exception of Cridit
Foncier and fhlobilier, which have experienced a
further improvement of 17s. 6d.
The tendency of the discount market is rather
better to-day, and the supply of money seeking
employment has increased. The rate for the best
short dated paper, however, is 11 per cent., or 1
per cent. above the minimum at the Bank of
England.

The directors of the Bank of England have not
made any change to-day in their minimum rate of
discount.

Consols are now quoted 86i to 81, with div., for

CLERKENWELL.

George Turner, a savage, determined.looizing lad, about
17 years of age, was charged before Mr. Barker with being
concerned with another boy not in custody with stealing
handkerchiefs.
It appeared from the evidence that a young married lady
in a very delicate and bad state of health, named Stewart,
was at present staying as a visitor at the house of Mr.
George William Brown, a gentleman connected with the
press, at 175, Ball's Pond-road. About half-past four in the
afternoon of the previous day her attention was attracted
to a couple of boys who were loitering about the lane at the
back of the house. The prisoner got over into Mr. Brown's
garden, and then over the wall into the next garden, that
of the Perseverance Tavern. Mrs. Stewart at once went
down the lane, and threw some stones on the zinc covering
of the skittle ground in order that an alarm might be
given. The prisoner was coming over the wall when Mrs.
Stewart seized him. He struggled violently, and threatened
to give her something, hit her several times and sprained
her wrist and foot, and succeeded in breaking away. Mrs.
Stewart followed him down the lane into the main road,
where he was stopped and given into custody. Two hand-
kerchiefs belonging to the proprietor of the Perseverance
Tavern were found upon him. At the station-house the
prisoner behaved in a most violent manner, so much so
that the police were compelled to bring him down to the
court handcuffed. There having been numerous robberies
' of clothes in this neighbourhood, the inhabitants were
more vigilant than usual, and this was the case in the
house of Mr. Brown, who within the last few weeks has
lost linen to the extent of 51.

Mr. Marker remarked that it was a most courageous
act for Mrs. Stewart to arrest the prisoner. He should
remand him in order to prove a former conviction.
The prisoner was then removed.

6s. 10d., the moneys of his employer.
W. H. Baker, the manager for Mrs. Scholes, of White-
horse-yard, Cripplegate, said—On Monday the prisoner,
who had been five years in her service, took out about
forty parcels to deliver, on some of which he was to re.
calve money amounting to 10s. 4d. It was his duty to
hand that sum over to Mr. Baster, with whom Yrs.
&holes coutraoted,on the Tuesday morning, about lOo'clock.
On Monday afternoon one of Mr. Barter's clerks, seeing
the prisoner was inclined to go on the " fly," asked him
what money he bad to Five him and he then paid over
3e. 6d. The next morning he did not come to work, and
about 11 o'clock witness went to look for him and found
him asleep in bed. He then gave him into custody.
Alderman Mechi said there did not appear to be any
ground for giving the prisoner into custody. No doubt
the prisoner had got drunk on Monday and had not got
over it on Tuesday morning. Had he any money on him
when taken into custody ?
Hills, 150, said he found on him lls. 11 id.
Alderman Mechi asked Baker what the prisoner said to
him when he saw him on Tuesday morning.
Baker replied he milked him whether he had any money
belonging to Mr. Baiter, and he said he had. Witness
then gave him into custody.
Alderman Mechi said there was nothing to show that
the prisoner intended to defraud Mr. Beater or Mrs.
&holes. The fact was he got drunk over night, and did
not come to work in the morning. When spoken to he
acknowledged that he had money to hand over, and he had
in his pocket more than sufficient to pay what was re-
quired of him. He (the worthy magistrate) thought it
was a very improper charge under the circumstances, and,
turning to the prisoner, said, " You are discharged with-
out a taint upon your character, except that of getting
drunk."
Baker said he had given him into custody because they
had been so robbed by their carmen lately.
Alderman Meal observed that the prisoner had not
robbed them, and after five years' service they aught to
have hesitated before they gave him into custody on so
serious a charge.

The prosecutrix lived at No. 141, High-street, Shadwell,
and the prisoner was her domestic servant, and on the
morning of the 23rd of April a large quantity of wearing
apparel was missing from the house, and as one of the
windows in the upper part of the house was found open,
the prisoner told her mistress that the hones' had been
entered by some one getting over the roof of the adjoin-
ing house, and no doubt that was how the thieves had
got the property away. It was proved that the whole
story was a fabrication.

at a private meeting, held yesterday, of some of the
shareholders and depositors of Overend, Gurley,
and Co., (Limited) : There has been a private
meeting of some of the shareholders and depositors

statement was given of the returns and profits of
this concern, according to which they amounted to
nearly 230,tiv0/. per annum. It was also men-
tioned that the present disastrous position was the
result of old difficulties, and did not arise from
recent transactions. A general wish was expressed

terested, to make arrangements to secure the good-
will of so valuable a business. A public meeting
has accordingly been convened by this firm for

improved residences for the working classes, were some-
what freely and earnestly discussed, and several of the

THE GUI.I QUESTION.

The Tines starts the question whether it is better, on
the whole, to attach breech-pieces to the barrels of
our Enfield rifles, or to imitate the example of the
French Emperor by adopting an entirely new weapon.
Captain Walker, of the 79th Highlanders, points out
several serious objections to conversion, while, on the
other hand, General Peel is in its favour. This is
simply a question of fact, and it is one which admits
of being settled by decisive tests. But for the purpose
of ascertaining the truth the weapons concerned should be
placed in the hands of untrained men. However, unless
the Snider principle can be so modified as to admit of
self-igniting cartridges, the Times does not hesitate to de-
precate this introduction. No breech-loader is worth
adopting, or even examining, which requires to be capped
before each discharge.

ETON AND HARROW CRICKET MATCH.
(THIS DAY.)

This popular public school match commenced
this morning at Lord's Ground. The weather was
exceedingly fine, and the number of spectators
wee quite up to the average on similar occa-
sions. In carriages of every description ladies dressed
in every mode of fashion and in the brightest of colours
watched the progress of the game. Later in the afternoon
fresh numbers arrived, and their Royal Highnesses the
Prince and Princess of Wales were expected to arrive at
the ground at about half-past 2.
Precisely at 11 o'clock play was called, and the Harrow
boys began their first innings, H. H. Montgomery, Esq.,
and C. T. Smith, Req., being first at the wicket. The
former gained 12 runs, and the latter 15. As the game
progressed the interest appeared to increase; and when our
report left at a quarter to 1 the Harrotians had already
71 runs down to them.

The Meager de Midi oontaine the following
from Toulon, dated in the evening of July 9 :
The armour-plated squadron has just anchored in the
roadstead, coming from the HyCres Islands. The address
of the despatch ordering this movement was in the hand.
writing of the Minister of Marine himself. A later de-
spatch has come ordering a maritime levy throughout the
entire sth maritime arrondissement ; the stoppage of the
disarmament of the small vessels of the flotilla, and the
immediate armament of four steam-vessels of the reserve.

HUNGARIAN SYMPATHY FOR AUSTRIA.

A letter from reeth, dated the ith, in the Luk-
pcwhiure BeIT.. says :

Yesterday the call for the annual contingent was posted
up at this place. The proportion furnished by Hungary is
25,000 out of a total of $.5,000 for the entire monarchy.
The volunteer cavalry corps, which was to have been raised
by MM. Czir.sky, Apponyi, and the brothers Ssechenyi, is
no longer talked of. Prince Bathyani has subscribed a
hundred thousand florins towards the expense, but soldiers
do not present themselves, and the Magyar legion will be
difficult to form in favour of the Austrian cause. The im-
pression produced by the catastrophe of Sadowa has been
very great, but to the advantage of Austria, whose hard
case excites pity. The cause of this is the antipathy en-
tertained against the Prussians, the reason for which is not
very clear. On the other hand the cession of Venetia has
caused a lively sensation of joy. Eperies, Arad, and some
other Hungarian towns, have lately sent addresses of
loyalty to the Emperor.
