CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
There was a partial expectation that the Bank of
England directors would, at their weekly court, this
toorning, have reduced the rate of discount to 4 per
cent. It is, however, very generally considered that
the measure has only been deferred for another
t‘veek, because money is much cheaper on the Con-
tinent, gold is flowing into the vaults of the Bank
here, and trade is very inactive. In the course of a
Short time the distribution of the Government divi-
dends will, undoubtedly, increase to a large extent
the floating capital of the discount market, and
,competition will be excited among brokers and
backers for the business brought forward.
The enquiry for accommodation to-day has not
been large, and the rates have remained at 4/ per
cent. for the best bills, with exceptional operations
at 48 per cent. •
The Bank of Belgium has reduced its rate of dis-
count to 3/ per cent.

ASHORT AMERICAN TRAMP in the FALL
of 1861. By the Editor of "Life in Normandy."

"The editor of the delightful volumes of 'Life in Nor-
mandy,' now tells of an American Tramp,' undertaken not
for the purpose of adding a thousand and first to the lone
series of smart sketches of American character, but 'to test
a glacial theory formed and matur,d in Switzerland, Scan-
dinavia, the British Isles, and Iceland.' The book looks to
be lull of pleasant jottiigs, interesting to the genus physical
geographer, species glacialist ; and the general reader, v e can
answer for it, if he expects a dull book, will be agreeably
surprised to find himse.l in the hands of a lively writer, IN ith
quick eyes and healthy brains, whose talk is both amusing
and invigorating." —Examiner.

LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE.

A special meeting of this company was held yes-1
terday at Manchester, to empower the directors to
raise certain sums of money not exceeding in the
whole £607,760. Mr. Geo. Wilson, the chairman,
moved a formal resolution to that effect, seconded
by Mr. Hargreaves, and explained that the directors
intended to issue the £607,000 of additional capital
in preference shares. The directors were desirous
at the present time not to burden the ordinary stock
with any additional charges beyond what it should
bear for the construction of works which might not
prove very remunerative for some years to come.
The trifling addition to the share capital of the com-
pany would be £5 for every £lOO of ordinary stock,
and it was therefore proposed to allot to holders of
ordinary stock £5 perference shares for every £lOO
of ordinary stock. The last issue made was for
£1,200,000 of preference stock, bearing 41 per cent.
interest. At the present time the directors were
disposed to add a little to the value of that stock,
and in five years from May next they proposed that
the 4f per cent. stock should be a permanent 5 per
cent. stock.
The motion was agreed to.

" A SUN PORTRAIT."

The Photographic Curiosity announced by us, 1
some time since, as in active preparation, is at
length, we are rejoiced to say, completed, and
completed, we will add, most successfully. The
difficult task of its production—by means of an
entirely new application of the wonderful art of
photography—has been delayed until now solely
by the uupropitious state of the weather, that is
to say, by the unusually lengthened continuance
of a murky and misty condition of the atmosphere.
One bright day, however, has at length put an
end to the difficulty—the result aimed at being
now completely and triumphantly accomplished.
An all but microscopic facsimile of the front page
of The Sun newspaper of MONDAY, the 2d of
January, 1865, has--in other words—been pro-
duced by this hitherto undreamt-of application of
the photographic art. It is hereby announced in
fact as ready for publication, on Monday, the 3d
of April, upon which day a copy of this Miniature
Photograph, entitled "A Sun Portrait,"
will be presented gratuitously to every purchaser of

The f..,ttit

panied by a Supplement reproducing the front

UNIVERSAL PRIVATE TELEGRAPH.

The ordinary general meeting of this company
was held yesterday at the offices, Adelaide-street,
Strand, Mr. Meller, in the chair.

The secretary read the report, which stated that
the gross receipt for rentals in 1862 were £2,499 ; in
1862, £5,421 ; and in 1864, £8,853. The applica-
tions for new lines were rapidly increasing. In
September the directors declared an interim dividend
at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, and they pro-
posed to declare a similar dividend on the present
occasion. The balance to the credit of revenue was
£4,212. Out of this the directors recommended a
dividend at the rate of £6 per cent. per annum, for
the half-year ending the 31st of December last, and
that £l,OOO be carried to a reserve fund, leaving a
balance of £892. The company's prospects among
the coal proprietors in Newcastle, South Wales,
and other mineral districts, were encouraging.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, congratulated the shareholders on the pro-
3pects they had before them. The directors were
giving more attention to the full development of the
lines they had already laid down than to the open-
ing up new ones. They had numerous applications
for laying down new lines, and as soon as they found
it expedient they would take possession of the dis-
trict.

The report was adopted unanimously, including
the dividends therein recommended.

It was agreed to alter the articles of association
so as to enable the directors to make up the accounts
and declare dividends half yearly.
The retiring directors were re-elected, and a vote
of thanks to the chairman concluded the proceedings.

THE DEFENCES OF CANADA,

[RELTTER'S EXPRESS.]
QUEBEC,March 10.

The news that £50,000 has been recommended
to be voted by the Imperial Parliament for the
defences of Quebec has been very ill received here.
Mr. J. A. Macdonald stated in the house that
there must be a mistake in the figures, and that
£500,000 doubtless is intended.

Upon the Hon. Mr. Moore inquiring of the
Government if the fortifications recommended by
Colonel Jervois to be built at a cost of £1,343,000
were to be erected, and what proportion of the cost
would fall on Canada ?

Sir E. T. Tache replied that he hoped all neces-
sary fortifications would be built ; but, as the mat-
ter was now the subject of negotiation between the
Imperial Government and that of Canada, he could
not say how much Canada would be expected to
pay.

BREAKFAST BEVERAGE.—tioulanpathic practitioners,
and the medical profession generally, recommend cotta
as being the most healthf al of all beverages. When the doc-
trine of homoeopathy was first introduced into this country
there were to bo obt ,fined no preparations of cocoa either at-
tractive to the taste or acceptable to the stomach ; the nut
was either supplied in the crude state, or so unskilfully
manufactured as to obtain little notice. J. Epps, of London,
Homeeopathic Chemist, was induced in the year 1839 to turn
his attention to this subject, and at length succeeded, with
the assistance of elaborate machinery, in being the first
to produce an article pure in its composition, and so refined
by the perfect trituration it receives in the process it passes
thro.igh, as to be most acceptable to the delicate stomach.
For general use Epps's Cocoa is distinguished as an invigo-
rating, grateful breakfast beverage, possessing a most deli-
cious aroma. Dr. Llassal, in his work, "Food and its
Adulteratio..s," says —"Cocoa contains a great variety of im-
portant nutritive principles—every ingredieat necessary to
the growth and sustenance of the body." Again: "As a
nutritive, cocoa stands very much higher than either coffee
or tea." Directions—TWO teaspoonfuls of the powder in a
breakfast cup, filled up with boiling water or milk. Secured
in tin-lined ilb., lb., and 11b. labelled packets, and sold by
all grocers, confectioners, and chemists. - nvr.]

POOR LAWS

In reply to Mr. FERIIAND, —•
Mr. VILLIERS said it was quite true that serious
charges had been made against the master of the work-
house of the Wycombe Union, of undue severity towards
the boys, and still worse conduct towards the girls. An in-
quiry had been made into the matter, and tha master had
been called on to resign his appointment, which had been done.
With respect to the pzpsecution of the master that rested
with the guardians and not the Poor-law Board. If it was
decided to prosecute the man nothing had been done that
would prejudice such a proceeding. The Poor-law Board
had nothing to do with prosecutions, and they did not
propose to institute such a proceeding.
NEW ZEALAND
In reply to General PEEL, ,
The Marquis of HARTINGTON said tho despatch of
General Cameron, with respect to the propriety of remov-
ing from New Zealand any portion of the troops, would be
laid on the table with the other papers.
NORTH AMERICAN COLONIES.
Lord R. CECIL asked the Secretary of State for the Co-
lonies whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Go-
vernment to leave to the several North American colonies

full discretion whether they would or would not join in
the new scheme for a confederation ; or whether they in-
tended to ask Parliament to adopt any compulsory mea-
sure for enforcing it upon those who may be adverse to it.
Mr. CARD WELL said they had no other information
than that which had already been communicated to the
house.

THE SAFFRON-HILL MURDER.

In reply to Mr. ROEBUCK,
Sir G. GREY said it had been decided to try Pelizzoni
for the minor offence of stabbing. He would then have the
opportunity of having Mogul examined, and he hoped such
a course would lead to a satisfactory result.

STATE OF TRADE.

CARDIFF, March 21.—There is an average export de-
mand for steam coal and a good number of vessels are taking
in cargoes. The inquiry from the French markets continuo
moderately active, and there is also a large quantity going
to Denmark and Spain. The demand from the Italian•
markets has fallen off a little of late, but it is expected that
it will again revive before long. As the year advancea
Russia is expected to be a considerable buyer. The deve-
lopment of the coal trade to the metropolitan markets in
steadily progressing. The house coal collieries are irt
pretty regular employ, and sales are effected without much
difficulty at the current prices. The latest advices from the
United States gave a gloomy account of the iron,trade, and
there is no prospect of an improvement in the demand from
that country. The home market evinces considerable
buoyancy, and quotations for finished iron are firmer, owing
to the Staffordshire lock-out. There are fears that the action
of the various Trades Unions in giving support to the Me
i!
will cause an extension of the lock-out to Shropshire 9°'
South Wales.
LEICESTER, 22d.—There has been about an average
amount of business doing in most classes of hosiery goo°-
during the past few days, and business generally in a satia
factory state. In the country districts trade is rather
quiet. Yarns are selling at late quotations, and spinners
are working to order. The wool market is flat, and You
little business is doing in material.
NOTTINGHAM, 22d.—There is no improvementlin the We
trade. Business in most branches remains dull. In cotton
goods there is very little doing ; indeed, less than for S
considerable time past. The foreign trade continues Viet:
and the unseasonable weather checks the goods usually
in
demand at this time of the year for the home market. There
is rather more doing in silk Mechlins. In black lace there
is no improvement, and there is but little doing in narr°W.
edgings. Only a few buyers have been in the market W.
week. The hosiery trade is without much change. 13eusl;
ness in both the home and foreign departments is rat'e
quiet. Yarns are unchanged in value.

UNIVERSAL PRIVATE TELEGRAPH•

The ordinary general meeting of this company
was held yesterday at the offices, Adelaide-street,
Strand, Mr. Meller, in the chair. _ _

The secretary read the report, which stated that
the gross receipt for rentals in 1862 were £2,499 ; in
1862, £5,421 ; and in 1864, £8,853. The applica-
tions for new lines were rapidly increasing. In
September the directors declared an interim dividend
at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, and they pro-
posed to declare a similar dividend on the present
occasion. The balance to the credit of revenue was
£4,212. Out of this the directors recommended a
dividend at the rate of £6 per cent. per annum, for
the half-year ending the 31st of December last, and
that £l,OOO be carried to a reserve fund, leaving a
balance of £892. The company's prospects among
the coal proprietors in Newcastle, South Wales,
and other mineral districts, were encouraging.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, congratulated the. shareholders on the pro-
Teets they had before them. The directors were
giving more attention to the full development of the
lines they had already laid down than to the open-
ing up new ones. They had numerous applications
for laying down new lines, and as soon as they found
it expedient they would take possession of the dis-
trict.

• The report was adopted unanimously, including
the dividends therein recommended.

It was agreed to alter the articles of association
so as to enable the directors to make up the accounts
and declare dividends half yearly.
The retiring directors were re-elected, and a vote
of thanks to the chairman concluded the proceedings.

The North German Lloyd's steamship New York,
from New York, on the 11th inst., has arrived.
She brings 142 passengers from Bremen and
Southampton, 41 bags of mails, and $25,000 in
specie for Bremen. On the first six days the New
York experienced strong northerly gales, and after-
wards heavy easterly winds.
She spoke the Bremen steamer Hansa on the
12th, 250 miles from Sandy Hook. Her news has
been fully anticipated by the Moravian via Green-
castle, which brought intelligence from New York
to the morning of the 12th inst.
The North German Lloyd steamer New York,

RUSSIA.

ST. PETERSBURG, MARCH 23.

The Deutsche Petersburger Zeitung, in an article
replying to one recently published by the Moscow
Gazette, says :—" Neither the honour nor the inte-
rest of Russia are engaged in the question of the
Duchies. The demands of the Moscow Gazette that
Russia should assume a more decided attitude are
not based upon reasonable grounds, since threats,
without an intention of going to war, are futile.
We are convinced that the conciliatory steps taken
by Russia with the German Powers will be attended
with success."

The Journal de St. Petersbourg of to-day publishes
a circular addressed by Prince Gortschakoff to the
representatives of Russia abroad, in reference to the
Russian acquisitions of territory in Central Asia.
He points out the necessity for these acquititions,
and states that Russia does not seek any territorial
aggrandisement which might lead to complications
whereby her interior progress would be arrested.

THAMES.

ALLEGED OUTRAGE IN— A STATION-HOUSE.—A young
man, who was fined ss. yesterday for being drunk and in-
capable of taking care of himself, made an application to
Mr. Paget for a summons against a police-constable, named
Read, 66 H, for striking him in the station-house of the H
division in Leman-street, Whitechapel.
The applicant stated that a constable took him into cus-
tody on Monday night, and was very kind and civil to him,
but while he was in the dock at the station-house, and the
charge was being taken, 66 H told him to turn round, and
then struck him a violent blow with his clenched fist on
the eye, and blackened it. This outrage was quite unpro-
voked. He had not offended the constable in any way.

Mr. Paget questioned the applicant very particularly and
at some length, and he adhered to his statement, on which
the magistrate said that he would grant a summons in the
usual way. At the same time he wished to have all per-
sons, including the inspector, who were in the station-
house at the time in attendance' when the case was hoard.
It was requisite that he should have all the information
that could be given.

. •-•
Burnett, a police-constable,, No. 158 H, said that the
matter had been reported to the Commissioners of Police,
and he believed that an investigation was now pending.
Mr. Paget said he had nothing to do with that. The
applicant complained of an assault, and he was entitled to
a summons. It mattered not whether the individual com-
plained of was a police officer or any other person.
The applicant wished to address the magistrate again,
but Mr. Paget said he could hear no more at present.

MARKETS—This Day.

MARK LANE.

The arrivals of English wheat, fresh up to our market, to-
day, were very moderate. The condition of the produce
being tolerably good, the demand both for red and white
produce ruled steady, at quite Monday's currency.
The market was fairly supplied with foreign wheat. The
trade for nearly all qualities was very quiet, and the total
amount of business transacted was small, at late rates.
Floating cargoes of grain move off slowly, at previous
quotations.
The supply of barley on sale was but moderate. Good
and fine malting produce moved off freely, at extreme rates ;
and other descriptions ruled firm in price.
Malt changed hands to a moderate extent~ at full prices.
The supply of oats on sale was tolerably large. Selected
parcels were firm in price ; otherwise, the oat trade was
dull, at fully Monday's decline in the quotations.
Beans were dull, at about previous rates.
Peas met a slow sale, on former terms.
The flour trade was steady, at full currencies.

SOOT PIRATES.—A VALUABLE COMMODITY.—Edward
Hicks, a sweep, was charged with stealing a sack of soot,
the property of Mr. John Brown, 1, Goldsmith-place, Kil-
burn, master chimney sweep.
It appeared from the evidence that the prosecutor is in a
very large way of business, having the contracts for the
principal West-end mansions, as also for the houses in
most of the squares. It is the practice of his men, when
they get a sack full of soot, to deposit it at a certain fixed
spot, for Mr. Brown to fetch it away in his cart.
This morning, at an early hour, one of the men
deposited a sack of soot in Clarendon-terrace and then left
it. Shortly afterwards the prisoner was seen to empty the
soot from the prosecutor's sack into one of his own. Mr.
Brown came up just as he was making off. He gave him
into custody. - The value of the soot was is. 6d., and just
now it was a very valuable commodity. During the-past
three months ho had •lost between 20 and 30 sacks, and
parties like the prisoner go about stealing the sacks and
soot. Prisoner had been in his employ, but ho was com-
pelled to discharge him for dishonesty.
Mr. Mansfield sentenced the prisoner to one month's hard
labour in the House of Correction.
