THE NEW LOAN.

This morning at 10 the leading capitalists at-
tended at the Treasury to bid for the new loan,
and among those present were Baron Lionel and
Meyer Rothschild, Baron James Rothschild, of
Paris, Sir Isaac Lyon Goldsmid, Mr. T. A.
Hankey, Mr. James Capel, Mr. David Stern, Mr.
Laurence Cazenove, Mr. L. Cohen, Mr. B. B.
Williams, and others.
The Premier arrived shortly before the hour
appointed, and soon afterwards entered the Trea-
sury Chamber.
The Chancellor then stated the purpose for which
they were assembled, and after some observations
from Mr. Capel as to the footing upon which the
annuity was to be placed,
Baron Rothschild passed a letter to the Chan-
cellor containing the tender, and it appearing that
no other party offered, the communication was at
once read by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who
previously placed on the table the sealed letter con-
taining the minimum.

The letter, was as follows :
" London, 20th April, 1855.
"Sir,—ln conformity with the public notice issued by
the Treasury, we have the honour of submitting the fol-
lowing offer for the loan of sixteen miliions.

dient servants,

"N. M. ROTHSCHILDS, AND SONS.

"To the Chancellor of the Exchtvier."
The terms of the contract were then read, and
were in conformity with the proposals originally
submitted by the Government.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer said that, as
the terms were above his minimum, it would be
unnecessary to open his sealed letter, and the
tender was accepted.
The proceedin s then terminated.

VISIT OF THE EMPEROR

AND EMPRESS TO THE
CRYSTAL PALACE.
(THIS DAY.)

This morning, shortly after eleven o'clock, her Ma-
jesty and Prince Albert, and their illustrious guests, the
Emperor and Empress of the French, left Buckingham
Palace fur the Crystal Palace, at Norwood.

The royal party travelled in an open landau. The
Empress was seated beside the Queen; the Emperor and
Prince Albert occupied the seat opposite.
From the appearance of their Majesties this morning
they seemed to have suffered very little from the fatigues

of yesterday, and as they emerged from the Palace gates
into the park, the appearance of the crowd seemed to

add to the animated conversation that was going on
between her Majesty and the Empress.
On this occasion the Royal party were attired in the
ordinary costumes of private life.
The carriage conveying the illustrious party was fol-
lowed by sixteen other open carriages, containing the
Royal suite.
A. small party of Carabineers, not above twenty,
escorted the Royal cortege, which, as it drove through

ARMY BEFORK SEBASTOPuL COM-
MITTEE.-(THIS DA v.)

The Committee re-assembled this morning at the
usual hour.

Sir Charles Trevelyan was again recalled, and his exa-
mination was resumed by Lord Seymour. His evidence
wa', as befure, of a desultory character, and comprised
the reading of a number of official reports, and corre-
spondence of various kinds, relative to the Commissariat
Department. In reference to fuel, he stated that, when
it was known that the army would winter in the Crimea,
the Commissariat Department engaged to supply fuel,
and Commissary-General Filder took the necessary
measures for procuring a good supply from Con-
stantinople and other places. He also managed to
obtain a supply of charcoal, which was stored up
at Balaklava ; but it cauld not be conveyed thence
to the camp owing to the deficiencies in the
transport department. This latter defect, combined
with the bad state of the weather and the roads, pre-
vented the conveyance of hay and straw. He had been
informed that there was no want of either of these articles
at Balakla,va from the 21st to the 30th November. With
regard to the Spanish mules which were not brought over
to the East in December last, they were not detained
entirely on account of the defective transport service,
but because Commissary-General Filder had no pressing
necessity for them. The great difficuly, in his opinion,
connected with the army was the want of a commissariat
establishment at home, but he thought that the great
division and sub-division of duly in that department in
the field interfered with the discipline of the army. He
(witness) had the executive management of this depart-
ment at home, under the direction, however, of tl.e
Minister for War.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

BANKRUPTCY COURT.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Fonb!anque.)
IN RE TEALE AND SIUTII.

These bAnkropts were described as of Wimpole-street
and flol'and-street, Blacktriar,,, house decorators, &c.

An application was now made by the bankrupt Teale
for an adjournment, to enable him to go to Balaklava to
carry out an engagement he could enter into if be
could do so without subjecting himself to the censure of
this court. The accounts were not yet filed, the time
Ix doing so not having expired, but they were in a f,r-
ward state of preparation by Mr. Robertson, Moorgat-•
-treet ; the bankrupt therefore asked for leave to fair
the accounts and a long adjournment, so tint he
ou;:ht comply with the tegulations of the court
when he came up. The solicitor to the assig-
nees asked bankrupt whether he was going for the
benefit of his creditors ? If the application was granted
Ite ought to be laid under conditions to set aide some
portion of his profit fir the creditors ; then there could
he no objection.
_ _ _

His Honour said that if there was n.) other objection
the application might be granted. but he f:hould not at-
tach any conditions, and if the bankrupt was an honour-
ible man no doubt he would devote some portion of
any f•urplus to their benefit.
An adjournment for 12 months was then granted.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.)
IN RE LINFORRD AND CO.

These bankrupts were described as licensed victuallers,
at the Horns Tavern, Lawrence-lane, City, and to-day
wai appointed for consideration of their certificates.
The Solicitor to the assignees said they were desirous
of making certain inquiries before the case was gone
into, and therefore wished for an adjournment.
His Honour granted an adjournment for one week.

APPRAHRENSION OF THREE CRAB-
TISTS FOB ISSUING SEDITIOUS HAND-
BILLS.

This day, at half-past one, James Bligh, 5, Blucher's-
buildings, Greenwich, John Lodge, of 5, Little Mid-
dlesex-street, Kingsland, and Harris Evans,
of Robert-street, Sydney-street, Mile-end, were
charged before Mr. Alderman Wire, at the Man-
sion-house, with having during the Imperial pro-
gress through the City, distributed hand-bills
calculated to cause a breach of the public peace, the
-ame bills not having any printer's name attached.
Ernest Jones, the Chartist barrister, appeared for the
accused.

The defendant Bligh, a respectable-looking mechanic
was first placed at the bar.
City Police-constable 594 stated that yesterday
morning he was upon duty in Cheapside, when some
gentlemen called his attention to the defendant, who wa-
distributing of which they (the gentlemen) hell
-iome in their hands, and upon the witness goin.
towards Breail.street he saw the defendant, with a crowd
round him, giving away band-bills, of which the follow-
mg is a copy :
'ENGLAND'S DISGRACE.—THE REAL DAY OF HUMILIATION.
" LOUIS NAPOLEON,

"The murderer, the oath-breaker, the destroyer 01
the French and Italian Republics, who bribed tht
soldiers to massacre the peaceful citizens upon thi
Boulevards, exiled the best men of France, and pave,
his way to power with the corpses of unoffensive me, ,
women, and children, is coming to England. English
nien do your duty.
"The truth of these accusations is proved by the Times
Chronicle, and Advertiser of Dec. '5l, and Jan. '52."
Defendant had another man with him, who made hi,
• pe. He (witness) seized the defendant, who
it-
▪ endeavoured to get rid of the bills, but witness
prevented him, and, upon his being taken to the station•
and searched, a large bundle of other bills and print,
papers, all of an inflammatory and libellous character,
were found upon him. A great number of persons ban
the bills, and they all said it was a great shame.
After a few remarks from Mr. Ernest Jones, who said
he had been quite recently instructed, he agreed to the
suggestion of the alderman that the defendant should he
remanded for a week.
The bail put in was an artificizl flower maker, living
at Spitalfields, whose name and appearance bespoke him
to be an Italian.
The Alderman here said that he should adopt a similar
course with the other defendants'.

TEE RUMOURED ATTEMPT UPON THE
LIFE OF THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON.

The idle rumour, which unfortunately gained con-
siderable circulation yesterday evening, to the effect that
an attempt had been made upon the life of the Emperor
of the French, whilst on his way to Buckingham-palace,
after his visit to the Guildhall, turned out upon inquiry
to be entirely without foundation. The report originated
in a very simple and harmless circumstance. As the
royal carriage was passing under the triumphal arch on
Constitution-hill, a middle-aged person, apparently a
foreigner, stepped towards it, and endeavoure 1 to throw
a letter of some kind in at the window. As the nature of
the act was not understood at the moment, he was at
once seized and given into custody. He was conveyed
to the King-street police-station, where, after being de-
tained a short time, a messenger was despatched from
the palace, with an intimation that the document con-
tained nothing offensive, and that it was, consequently,
the Emperor's wish that the man should be discharged.
This considerate request was accordingly immediately
complied with. The individual in question, who is a
Frenchman, gave his name as John Pellet, and described
himself as a doctor of medicine.

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE EAST LANCASHIRE RAIL-
WAY.—About 9 o'clock on Tuesday evening a lahouriee
wen, named Peter Burke, attempted to cross the Ens,
Lancashire Railway, at the Bacup station, to take some
supper to one of the company's servants who was a fel•
low-ledger, and who was then engaged in shunting from(
.arriages which were attached to an engine by a tail
rape. It was quite dark, and Burke, being unable tr.
-ee the rope, became entangled with it in some way, we:-
thrown prostrate across the rails, and the engine imme
diately passed (Ater his legs. One limb was completely
amputated, and the other FO mangled that it was impos
,able to do anything to restore it. Several medical gen-
tlemen were sent for, and Dr. Harrison, the medica,
officer of the company, proceeded from Manchester, b)
9, special train, but they could render no assistance re
the unfortunate man, who died the following morning
Ele was a married man, and has left one child.
CREMORNE GARDENS. Notwithstanding the early
period of the season, the fete last night, in honour of the
visit of the Emperor and Empress, was most attractive
The principal novelty in the decorations was the Turco-
French Arch, which is now nearly completed. On one
side are the portraits of the Queen, the Emperor, and
the Sultan, surmounted by the -motto, "Union is
strength." On the other side are the arms of England,
France, and Turkey,, and the motto, " God protect the
right." The programme of the entertainments included
some excellent dancing on the tight rope by two children.
In the theatre the wonderful performance of the Russelli
family was warmly applauded. This was followed by
the new ballet. In the course of the evening the visi-
tors were amused with the performance of the dogs and
monkeys, and the entertainments concluded with a dis-
play of fireworks. The boys of the Duke of York's
School, accompanied by their band, were present, and
formed an additional attraction. The gardens were well
attended. On every side are to be seen preparations
making for the regular opening of the summer season,
which will take place on Whit Monday. On that day
the new Firework Temple, which is rapidly advancing
to completion, will be exhibited for the first time.
