The Senate has to-day passed a bill authorising
the issue of bonds redeemable in coin after twenty,
thirty,. or forty years, and bearing 5,4 i, and 4 per
cent. interest respectively, also payable in coin,
and exempt from all taxation whatsoever

used exclusively for the redemption at par, at the
option of the holder, of any of the present interest-
bearing debta of the United States, except Five
per Cent. Bonds and Three per Cent. Certificates.
Bonds may be issued to an amount suffi-
cient in the aggregate to oover all the
principal of all outstanding obligations ; but
the amount redeemable in twenty years is not
to exceed one-third of the whole issue. The bill
further provides for the reduction of the debt by
the appropriation of a sum which, including the
in of the public debt and the maturing
funded debt, shall amount to 135,000,000 dols.
annually. Finally the bill enacts that any cos-
tracts hereafter made, specifically payable in
coin, shall be legal and valid, and may be enforced
according to its terms, anything in the several acts
relating to United States notes to the contrary
notwithstanding,

2713 BLBCTILIC TRLEGICAPHS BILL.

The select committee of the Rouse of Commons
on this bill met again yesterday; the Chancellor of the
Exchequer in the chair. It was announced that • sub-
stantial agreement as to the points disputed on Wednes-
day between the promoters of the bill and the North Bri-
tish Railway Company had been arrived at. On the part
of the telegraph companies, Mr. Coates brought forward
again the question of compensation to those employes of
the companies who should not be retained in the mercies, of
the government; and Mr. Baxter followed, with the design
of inducing the committee to recognise • five years' service
as equivalent, so far as it iusumed to be a guarantee of
once of engagement, to the phrase "yearly salary."
Witinllnyearly salary " stipulation, if strictly understood
and acted on, would provide only for a single official in
the entire telegraph service. The generality of the em-
ployes of the companies, even those receiving salaries of
from 3001. to 2,0 M., were paid by monthly or quarterly
instalments. The Chancellor of the Exchequer re
the putinenoe of this explanation ; and suggestedMira
compromise should brimmed to, which would accept a
five years' service at a yearly salary, or a seven years' ser-
vice alone, as a sufficient guarantee of the permanence of
the eat of the person by whom the ogles was
held. With reference to the clause which attempted to
embody that "point of instruction" of the committee that
referred to the secrecy and security of telegraphic 11208-
taps, the chairman suggested expressions the- effect of
which would be to give the Postmaster-General the
power of making regulations in conformity with the spirit
of the clause. Xr. Darby appeared as counsel for Bonetli's
claims; but after some discussion it was determined he
bad no locus standi, as his client had failed to petition
along with the other companies, who wished to be
represented before the committee. Mr. Sargood, how-
ever, undertook to secure M. Bonelli's claims • hearing
before the arbitrators. The committee then proceeded to
the scheduling, with less or more of opposition or expla-
nation, of agreements between the Postmaster-General
and the following companies:—The Great Western, the
South Western, the London, Chatham, and Dover, the
South Eastern, the North Eastern, the Bristol and Exeter,
the North British, and the Caledonian Railway Compa-
nies; and between the following telegraph companies:—
The Submarine, Reuter's, the Atlantic and Angto-Ameri-
eas, and the Universal Private Telegraph Company
(Limited). With this, to the manifest relief of everybody
concerned, the committee concluded its sittings, which
had been unexpectedly protracted from day to day. It
may be mentioned that the promoters of the bill propose
that the arbitrators—to whom, in the many transactions to
be taken into their consideration, so much is entrusted—
should be appointed by the justices of her Majesty's
Court of Common Pleas.

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MARK-LANB.-(THIS DAY.)
Coastwise, as well as by rail, the arrivals of home-
grown wheat were on a very limited scale, yet the de-
mand for both red and white samples ruled heavy at the
late decline.

Foreign Wheat, the show of which was good, was dull
of sale, at Mondays reduction in price.
Floating cargoes of wheat moved off slowly, on rather
easier terms. The value of maims and barley afloat was
somewhat higher.
The show of foreign barley was moderate, of English
trifling. On the whole the trade ruled firm, at full
pnces.
Malt moved off slowly, aitnrc7i2 pekes.
The market was heavily on with oats, chiefly
foreign produce. Inferior were drooping in value,
but good sound corn was steady in price.
Beans were firm, at full prices.
Peas found buyers, at fully latieratea.
Flour was dull, and foreign parcels were drooping in
Prim.
Linseed was steady, but rapeased and most agricultural
seeds were inactive. Cakes were very firm.

THE MOTION OF ADJOURNMENT.

" Tire present jaded state of the House "—to
quote Mr. DisaArds—did not prevent it " embark-
" ing last night in the barren and distressing prat-
" tices " against which it was warned by the
same authority. From half-past one to three
o'clock this morning was spent in wrangling
over the question of adjournment. The foreign
cattle were almost lost sight of in the irritable
anxiety to carry their temporary point,
which each party displayed. Before this passage
of arms, Mr. GLADSTONE had emphatically warned
the House that the longer the discussion on the
bill was protracted " the more it would assume
" the invidious, not to say odious aspect of a
" battle of class interests ;" and Mr. HE TLEY had
spoken, as only Mr. HENLEY can, upon the delu-
sions shared by Mr. AYRTON and the Whitechapel
butchers. The proceedings of the House, a few
minutes later, more than justified Mr. GLADSTONE'S
prophecy. It was astonishing to note the persistency
with which the motion of adjournment was per-
sisted in, and the different phrases of personal op-
position employed for and against. Men were
worn out with fatigue at one moment, and osten-
tatiously fresh and vigorous at another. Mr.
AYRTON, with suspicious blandness, first suggested
that the house should adjourn to save a long series
of divisions. The instant the suggestion was
negatived, Mr. Cow Eli again formally
moved adjournment, on the ground "of the
" House having had quite enough for one sitting,"
but directly Major Jzavis threatened staying till
4 o'clock this afternoon, the challenge was
accepted, and Mr. Cowrar avowed his readiness
for minialar self-sacrifice. Mr. TAYLOR and
Mr. LABOIICHERE divided the House again
soon after this, and then Lord Eizno's plea
of consideration for the SPEAKER was
allowed to prevail. That hapless gentleman
had been sitting in the House fourteen hours and
a half, and gallantly begged the members present
to consider the dignity of Parliament rather than
the convenience of its Chairman—perhaps a
polite way of expressing the same wish.
Lord ROBERT MONTAGU'S complaints in the
early part of the evening of the " delays and
" dodges " of which the opposition to his bill was
composed was properly rebuked, but the " middle-
" men," whose tools the farmers are, and the other
class interests affected by the bill, may rest satis-
fied that it is causing more acrimony, tedium, and
annoyance than any other measure of the session.
The SPEAKER, who, it should be remembered, is
within two years of three score and ten, was tasked
yesterday beyond mortal endurance. His weary
agonies recall the martyrdom of ST. SIMON
SiTurse.

FEARFUL FALL OF AN ACROBAT.

A man of colour, styling himself " the Great
African Blondin," has been amusing the people at Be-
verley this week bwalking upon a rope at an altitude of
60 feet. On Wednesday night, the performer made his
appearance as usual, and, having. addressed the people
below, he commenced his perilous journey amidst
much cheering. He had only traversed half the length
of the narrow road, however, before the rope gave
a sudden " snap," and the hapless performer the
next instant (with the balancing pole in his
bands) was seen falling from his giddy height to the
ground. The cries and shouts of the people present
were disng, and the field in which the poor fellow
fell was immediately invaded by the people assembled,
anxious to render him any assistance. The performer lay
upon the ground, face downwards, with the balancing
pole under him, apparently lifeless ; but on the arrival of
medical men it was found that he still lived. A cab was
procured, in which he was conveyed to his lodgings, in
Walkergate, and on further examination it was found
that he had broken one of hie arms and wrists. He lies in
a very precarious state.

We read in the Manchester Guardian: —" If Theo-
dore's son has anything of his father's temper in him, we
fear our good-natured countrymen are doing their best to
make him miserable for life. The poor boy, so far as
can be made out at present, has no very august future
before him, and it is rather a pity that just as he is
beginning to understand what is taking place around
him, he should be taught to ezpeat homage and
marks of distinction such as are usually accorded to
members of our own royal family. A telegram inform
us, for instance, that he visited'—which means, we
suppose, that he was taken to see—Mount Edgecumbe,
near Plymouth, on Wednesday. The local ►olunteers
were assembled under arms' in the park ; they received
the lad with a salute, and were afterwards `inspected'
by him with much interest.' All this is, no doubt, well
meant, but it is very absurd, and, so fax as the boy is con-
cerned, scarcely kind."

COLONIAL BRAIN FEVER.

THE good people of New South Wales have
adopted strange means for allowing their detestation
of O'FARRELL and his crime. Because the Duke of
EDINBURGH has beenshot at by a half-crazy man they
have passed a measure for "the suppression of tree-
" son and sedition" of a character and in a way, we
are happy to believe, without precedent in a con-
stitutional state. By an adroit suspension of the
Standing Orders, this enactment was hurried
through all its stages, and became law in a few
hours. Read for the first, second, and third time
in the Lower House, and afterwards in the
Upper House the same evening, it received the
Royal assent the following morning, so that
the colonists had the satisfaction of abdicating
their liberties before they had time to
cool. A correspondent of the Spectator
gives extracts from this measure, from which we
find that " under Clause 2of the Act, any one
" proposing a peaceful and friendly separation of
" these colonies from the British Crown is guilty
" of felony, and is liable to penal servitude for
" life, or any term nut less than seven years.
" Clause 9 provides that, If any person shall use
" any language disrespectful to her MiJaerr, or
" shall factiously avow a determination to refuse
" to join iu any loyal toast or demonstration in
" ' honour of her MAJ MITT . . . such person
" shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanour,
" and may thereupon be apprehended by any
" constable or any other person without warrant
" for the purpose, and on conviction shall be
" imprisoned with or without hard labour
" for any period not exceeding two years.'
" Under Clause 10, If any person shall write or
" publish words disrespectful to Her MAJESTY
4t
he shall be, upon conviction, impri-
" soned with or without hard labour for any term
" not exceeding three years f and it has been
" officially pointed out by the Arrosinx-Gliniza,
" that all publication of sedition matter, whether
"there be any seditious intention or not, will be
" followed by prosecution under the Act ; so that
"any newspaper proprietor who may publish

The decrease of barometrical presiiire in the north which was
noticed on Saturday continued until that evening, but on Sunday
the readings were again about the same as on the previous
wonting. Since then presents In Scotland has scarcely changed,
but an increase of about one-tenth is reported from the
south coast of England Ude morning. Temperatures have
generally remained steady : they are high at the continental
stations. Strong southerly and south-easterly winds—at-
taining the force of a gals on the southern and western coasts
—have prevailed since Saturday and this morning a southerly
gale is still reported from the south of Ireland, though elsewhere
the wind baa moderated. The weather appears very unsettled_

MORTALITY IN THE Msßearms MARINE.—This
morning a return was published showing the number, ages,
ratings, and causes of death of seamen reported by masters
of 'vessels to the Board of Trade as having died in the Bri-
tish merchant service during the year 1867. The return
contains some of the case' of deaths in British colonial
ships. It contains also many, if not most, of the owes of
men who died abroad after their discharge, sick hom Bri-
tish ships, but not the oases of men who died under similar
circumstances in the United Kingdom. The total number
of deaths reported was 5,283. Of these 1,808 were sari.
hatable to shipwreck, 1,380 to other accidents, and 739 to
fever of various kinds.

We read in the New York Time:—" After the
announcement of our Richmond correspondent about
Gen. Robert E. Lee's appearance in that city dressed in
' a very plain suit of black broadcloth,' there can be no
longer any doubt of his being at heart again an American.
All over the world the American is known by
his black broadcloth clothe, and in Washing-
ton, where are gathered the most numerous
assemblage of national representatives, one gets the im-
pression of a perpetual funeral. Both gray and blue have
largely disappeared, again from the streets and public
places of our cities, while " buttons" are as rare as they
once were plentifuL Black clothes are rather a doleful
sign of unity, to be Imre, but we must take what we sea
get in that hue now-a-day.."

HER MAJESTY'S OPERA.

mances of the past week at this house. Oa Thursday
night Mane. Kellam" appeared se Amiss, in La Samoan-
Dula ; and, if we cannot oonsider it as one of her beet per-
formances, it has yet many and high vocal merits., and
was received throughout with deserved favour.
On Saturday night Mdlle. Christine Nilsson achieved
• fresh triumph by her performance (for the first time
here) as Lucia in Lucia di Lammermoor. Ssarcely
in
any previous instance Lave this artist's gime of
manner, exquisite voice, and finished style been
more admirably or mole enooessfully displayed
than on this occasion. The excellence of Mr. Bentley's
singing as Enrico requires no fresh comment, the out
being efficiently completed by Signor Foli's performance
as Raimondo, and that of other characters by Mdlle.
