YORK-SATURDAY.

derate at the prices of the week previous. Nothing doing
in malting barley ; grinding steady at late prices. Oats
good demand, and the show being limited, late rates wore

36 stone. Barley, for malting, 30s to 32s per qr ; grinding,

rate, and sales took place steadily at unaltered rates. The
show of barley was equal to the demand, and prices were
unchanged. Oats in demand, and prices rather higher.

white, 43s to 48s ; new red, 38s to 42s per 36 stone. Bar-

can boast much, and even he, be it is said, will not
long continue his exertions in the foremost place to
defend his colleagues and make up for their many
deficiencies of divers sorts.
Sir B. BRIDGES very properly censured the course
pursued by the Government with respect to Den-
mark In this, as in many other things, Ministers
have gained by the time that has elapsed since the
occurrences took place. Had the dissolution
happened last year they would have come in for
several sharp hits, and heard some home truths
more profitable than pleasant. Sir B. BRIDGES, in
criticising the members of the Government, de-
clared with truth that Lord PAL3IERSTON " had a
rum team to drive." The noble lord was famed, he
said, for supporting his friends, right or wrong, but
the pursuance of this plan, as the hon. baronet said,
often led him into a defence of jobbery, and " had
lately pressed upon a noble and learned lord to
retain an office which he had much better have
given up." In common with almost all the candi-
dates of both parties, Sir B. BRIDGES is in favour
of an extension of the franchise. The Liberals
have waited so long that they have lost this grand
card, which they once fondly hoped they could
keep exclusively to themselves, and the utmost that
they can do is to vary the theme, and make some
alterations for themselves. Sir E. DERING did not
say much that requires particular attention, some of
his friends or supporters had gone beyond him, and
he had seen a placard which said, " Vote for DERING
and Universal Suffrage." Now, he stated, this was
incorrect, because he did no: advocate universal
suffrage or anything approaching to it. It really
comes to very much the same thing in the end which
party is returned so far as Reform is concerned,
because there is nearly a unanimity of opinion on
most points ; but, of course, it suits the purpose of
some to make the most capital they can out of the
affair, and announce themselves as the only true
disciples of progress. The community should judge
for themselves, and not be deceived by fortuitous
circumstances and flattering appearances.

(Mr. Registrar Murray.)
IN RE J. PRIME-AN ENGINEER IN THE ROYAL NAVY.
This bankrupt was described as an engineer on board
one of her Majesty's men-of-war now stationed at Sheer-
ness, and to-day was appointed for proof of debts. The
claims already filed amount to £250, and the bankrupt
ascribes his failure to the insufficiency of his pay to main-
tain himself and his family.

LIGHT INFANTRY.
This bankrupt was described as a captain on half-pay,
of 67, Wood-street, and to-day was appointed for the proof

income.

The Late lefarylebone Election.

TO TIIE EDITOR OF TIIE SUN.
regret that the letter that was sent to you
concerning the Marylebone election had not my
name attached. I also regret that the party I en-
trusted to copy the original should have made so

to give the original to another person. Sir, I trust

trust you will allow me a short space in your
columns in order that I may put myself right before the
electors of Marylebono and the public at largo in regard
to the late election. The reason I did not go to the poll
was, that a few potty tradesmen electors in the borough
volunteered to perform a duty which,
from their timid-
Noss or want of abilities, they failed to perform when
the proper time had arrived, namely, to propose and second
me at the nomination ; leaving me at the last moment no

SUDDEN DEATH FROM EXCITEMENT.—About half-
past two o'clock on Tuesday afternoon a gentleman
fell dead on the platform of the Scarborough railway eta,
tion. Ho was a visitor at Scarborough, and was about to
enter the express to proceed to London, in order to poll
there on Wednesday. Deceased during the morning had
attended the nomination at Scarborough, and had applauded
Mr. Cayley's speech so highly that he had become ex-
tremely excited, and had hurried lo the train. His name
is believed to be Jarrett. Another gentleman, who saw
deceased's death, had a lit on the platform, but recovered,

MARYPORT LIFEBOAT.—OII Thursday a grand
demonstration took place on the occasion of the launch of
the now lifeboat just sent there by the National Lifeboat
Institution. Some thousands of people from the town and
the surrounding district witnessed the interesting proces-
sion. The cost of the station, amounting to X 5.50, was
munificently defrayed by Henry Nizson, of Manchester.
Although living far inland, Mr. Nixson will thus be
directly, by his lifeboat, assisting in the groat and national
work of saving the liyos of shipwrecked sailors.

NEW ZEALAND.

From New Zealand the latest intelligence is that
there has been a split between the Governor and
General Cameron, and it is said that the former has
declared that one or other of them will have to go
home. A proclamation has been issued announcing
that the Bari Marire fanaticism will be suppressed
by force of arms, if necessary. The new supersti-
tion, however, appears to be spreading daily. The
supposed murderer of the Rev. Mr. Volkner, one
Rereopa, hes been arrested at Opotiki. General
Cameron has returned to Auckland, and a memo-
randum has been drawn up by the Government
proposing that in the event of the imperial forces
being withdrawn, military operations will be con-
ducted by a force of 1,500 men.

CABLE TESTING.—The strain to which the navy
cables are subjected varies from four tons to 91
tons, according to the thickness of the iron which forms
the links. Some of the machines are now so powerful that
they could test to nearly twice the strain deemed necessary
for any of the Government cables. It is found that one-
fourth of the cables ordered by the Admiralty prove defec-
tive under the test ; which comprises the tension-strain of
each section separately, and the minute examination of
every link, stay-pin, shackle, swivel, and staple. The
cable is not rejected, but the maker replaces the de-
fective piece by another ; or else it is done at the dockyard,
and he is charged the cost. Down to the present time,
chain-cables belonging to the royal navy have been in
better repute than those in the merchant-service, owing to
the more scrupulous testing. An underwriter, or ship-in-
surer, will grant better terms if a. ship's cable have borne
the Admiraltytest than if only the commercial test is ap-
plied. At Liverpool and elsewhere, testing-machines are
kept, where commercial cables are tested, registered, and
stamped for a certain fee, and a certificate given with each
tested cable. But then there is, if not rascality, at least
recklessness in some of the shipping people; for it is
known that cables which have failed under the Liverpool
test have been sold at a low price to such shipowners as do
not scruple to risk life if they can save a little money by it.
The superb chain-cables supplied to the Great Eastern by
Messrs. Brown and Lenox bore a test such as has never
been used for any others; the stoutest of them were tested
up to 148 tons, and resisted a breaking strain up to 172
tons: as much as £24 per ton was paid for these cables.—,

HER

MAJESTY'S BIRTHDAY.

Yesterday being the birthday of her Majesty, the
customary signs of rejoicing were visible all over
London, flags being displayed from all the Govern-
ment and municipal buildings, and a large number
of private places of business and residences, as well
as from the ships in the river. Salutes were fired
in the parks and from the Tower, the Royal Arsenal,
Wooli,vich, Tilbury Fort, &c. ; and at an early hour
the bells of the various churches rang out a merry
peal.

A general inspection and review of the veterans
of Greenwich Hospital took place in the grand
square of the hospital. The Governor and Master,
Admiral Sir James Alexander Gordon, G.C.8., Sir
Stephen Lushington, K.C.8., lieutenant governor,
and many other distinguished naval officers, with
their ladies, were present. Afterwards the veterans
were marched to the dining-hall, where they were
regaled with roast beef and plum-pudding, with a
liberal.'allowance of ale, to drink the health of her
Majesty, which was done with all due honours.
The Household Troops and the Royal Horse
Guards were inspected by their Royal Highnesses
the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Cambridge,
attended by a numerous staff. The men looked
remarkably well in their new uniforms. The in-
spection was minute and satisfactory. The artillery
and infantry divisions of the Honourable Artillery
Company paraded in the afternoon at the company's
ground, City-road, and fired a salute in honour of
her Majesty's birthday.
At Windsor there were the usual loyal manifes-
tations in honour of the birthday of her Majesty.
Merry peals rung out from the bells of the Tower of
Julius Caesar and the parish church of St. John,
while the shops and houses were decorated with
flags and banners. A Royal salute of 21 guns was
fired, and repeated in the course of the day, from
Fort Belvedere and the Royal Adelaide frigate, at
Virginia Water. In the evening the corporation
met at a grand banquet at the White Hart Hotel,
at which the Mayor presided. A fine haunch of
venison, the gift of her Majesty the Queen, for-
warded from Bushy Park, graced the table.
In the evening the theatres, clubs, official resi-
dences, houses of the Court tradesmen, &c., were
illuminated, and at the houses of several of the
nobility, Ministers of State, &c., banquets were
given, of which a more detailed report will be found
below.

time-piece, writing-desk, and table-cloth.
Henry Woodruff, servant to Mr. George Lane Fox, of
No. 43, Grosvenor-street, said—Last night, at 10 minutes
to 12 o'clock, I had occasion to go into the front hall, and
on looking out of the door I saw the prisoner coming up

the area steps. Directly the prisoner saw me he put down
a bundle, containing the property produced. I asked him
his business down tho area, and he said that he had
dropped a sixpence down, and had gone down to looklor
it. I asked him what he had got in the bundle, but
he made no reply. The prisoner then got over
the area-gate.. I held him till a constable came, and then
gave him into. custody. •
Louisa 'Essington, housekeeper to Mr. George Lane Fox
—The articles produced—a timepiece, desk, and table-
cover—are my property, and were taken from the house-
keeper's room. I believe the window was shut.

John Atkinson, the page—l shut the window at 8 o clock,
but could not say whether it was bolted.

In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the first witness said the area
gate was locked and the window found open.

Police-constable Edwat d Rowlett, 145 C—At 12 last
night the prisoner was given into my custody by the th st
witness. I found a bundle in the area. I took the prisoner
into the house, and on opening the bundle I found it to
contain the articles produced. I found that the prisoner
had got over the area gate and opened the housekeeper's
room window from the outside.

The prisoner—l have no questions to ask the witnesses,
Mr. Tyrwhitt—Did the prisoner give any address ?

Witness—lie refused it.

Prisoner—l wish you would settle tho matter at once.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—l shall do no such thing. It is a
burglary.

Inspector Bowles, who watched the case, asked for a
remand, the prisoner being known to the police, and there
having been other cases of a similar kind of late.
Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner.

FRANCE.

BOURSE, May 24.—A somewhat better feeling
has pervaded the market to-day, and the principal
Securities have been held firmly at yesterday's clos-
ing quotations. This situation, however, may pro-
bably be attributed to the desire of holders of Stock
to maintain their position pending the forthcoming
liquidation rather than to any healthy disposition
on the part of speculators to effect important trans-
actions. The Stock of the New Mexican Loan,
although not yet officially quoted, continues to be
dealt in outside the Bourse ; but the apprehensions
caused by the recent intelligence have far from sub-
sided, transactions having taken place at a discount
of 15fr. on the price of its emission. The market

HORRIBLE WIFE MURDER.—John Clarke, a pit-
man, at Leadgate, between Durham and Newcastle,
was committed by the coroner on Saturday on a charge
of murdering his wife. Ho is a native of the county of
Wexford, Ireland, and came to reside at Leadgate a short
time ago. On Saturday evening week his wife went to
seek him at a public-house. She met him in the street,
when it would appear some angry words passed between
them. The husband then commenced a violent assault on
his wife, knocked her down and kicked her repeatedly. She
managed to get home, whether she was followed by her
husband. Angry words were again exchanged, and the
husband took up the poker, and, after using threatening
language, throw it at his wife. It entered the left cheek,
knocked out four teeth, penetrated under the tongue to the
root in a diagonal direction, and fixed itself in the throat.
On Wednesday last dangerous symptoms manifested them-
selves, and on Friday afternoon she died. The husband,
when apprehended and charged with the wilful murder of
his wife, replied, "I did it; I did it with that" (pointing to
the poker).

BUFFALO AND LAKE HURON.

The report of the directors states that the railway in
Canada had been worked by the Grand Trunk Company for
five months ending December last. The next accounts
would, therefore, be made up to June 30 for six months.
The division of net revenue was £7,241 for the five months,
or at the rate of £8,689 for the half-year, in comparison with
the corresponding period for 1863 of £8,668, and for the
last half-year of a debit of £6,708. The rate of exchange
between Canada and the United States fluctuated consider-
ably during the past half-year, and the price of gold varied
from 190 to 240, thus making the loss arising from dis-
count on American currency £78,413 on the united sys-
tem of the Grand Trunk and Buffalo and Lake Huron
Railways. A very heavy charge of £81,540 had also been
made for renewals. Assuming £lOO,OOO a year sufficient
to cover ordinary renewals of way, the charge against
the present half-year showed an excess of £31,540
expended by the Grand Trunk Company, of which
the Buffalo Company's proportion would amount to over
£4,000. Adding to this sum the loss on currency borne by
the company, say £lO,OOO, the net earnings of the Company
would have been equal to an income of £22,689 for the
half-year. Considering the very favourable alteration in
the rate of the American exchange, it was thought the net
earnings henceforth ought to present a very satisfactory
contrast to the accounts now furnished. In consequence
of the interruption in the Parliamentary Session in Canada
suspending for this season the ratification of the agreement
with the Grand Trunk, the company's existing administra-
tion must be continued. The amount of coupons repre-
senting back interest sent in for capitalisation under the
arrangement with the bondholders amounted to £48,830.
A deed of trust had been entered into for the deposit of the
coupons with Messrs. Rawson, Holland, Hyde, and Moxon
London, England, 1865-05-25

LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE.

A meeting of this company was held at Manchester yes-
terday, in compliance with the standing orders of the House
of Lords, for the purpose of considering a bill now before
Parliament.

Mr. GEORGE WILSON, the deputy chairman, presided,
and moved:—

" That the bill conferring powers on the Lancashire and
Yorkshire Railway Company for the construction of branch
railways and works, and the acquisition of railways, and
for other purpoges, be approved, subject to such alterations
as the directors might consider desirable, and as the Legis-
lature sanction or require."
Mr. DUGDALB, director, seconded the motion.

The CITATIOLLN observed that the whole of the exten-
sion sought for by the company this session would only
increase the capital account by about £160,000.
The motion was agreed to unanimously.

The CHAIRMAN said that the bill for the construction of
new railways near Bradford, with a branch to Thornton,
in connection with the Great Northern Company, had been
withdrawn, and they should probably apply for another
bill to meet the wishes of the neighbourhood next year.
The meeting then separated.
