BOURSE, June 16.--It would be difficult to ac-
count for the utter stagnation which continues to
prevail in the various markets for stocks and

taken place at 66f. 621 c. Mexican Loan (Old)

WEST RIDECG OF YORKSHIRE.

The Central Conservative Committee held a meet-
ing at Wakefield yesterday to decide who shall be
the candidates in the Conservative interest for the
southern division of the Riding at the ensuing elec-
tion. The Right Hon. J. S. Wortley, having on
the score of ill health felt it necessary to decline to
enter on a contest, it was determined to request Mr.
Walter Spencer Stanhope and Mr. Christopher
Beckett Denison to become candidates, and their
acceptance of the invitation was communicated to
the meeting. Nothing has yet been made public as
to the Liberal party, but it is expected that Sir J.
W. Ramsden, who is at present one of the represen-
tatives for the %Vest Riding, will offer himself for
the southern division, and that the Liberals will
bring forward another gentleman as his colleague.

Sir J. S. Stucley has -issued an address to the
electors of this borough, announcing his intention to
become a candidate at the next election. Mr.
Howell Gwynn, of Dyffryn-house, Neath, has.also
issued an address. Both gentlemen profess Con-
servative principles, the former having the ad-
vantage of residing in the neighbourhood. On the
Liberal side Col. Davie, the present member, will
solicit re-election ; but there appears to be a split
in the Liberal party in consequence of some mem-
bers wishing to have another candidate, and pre-
ferring Mr. Lloyd, who contested the borough with
Mr. Bremridge not long ago.
London, England, 1865-06-17

PERTH.

The Hon. Arthur Kinnaird has issued the follow-
ing address :
" The very long period during which I havo had honour
of being your representative has served to make you fully
acquainted with my political opinions. These opinions, I
am happy to feel, are generally in unison with your own,
and have on several occasions been marked with your ap-
probation ; and during the period that has elapsed since you
first returned me toraxliament experience has only confirmed
my original convictions, that a wide basis of representation
is the best securityfor the liberties of the country, and that a
policy of progress is the only one adapted to the increasing
intelligence of the people. I think it unnecessary, on the
present occasion, to enter into any lengthened statement of
my views, but I may be permitted to express the gratifica-

tion with which I have given a very general support to
her Majesty's Ministers during the present Parliament. I
claim to exercise my own judgment and to act indepen-
dently ; but and Government which maintains peace on
the one hand, while it upholds the just influence of the
country on the other, and, while amply providing for the
defences of the empire, is able, by wise management of the
national resources, to remit taxation to the extent of
several millions, is deserving of support—and this, it will
be admitted, Lord Palmerston's Government has done.
Again, the course that the Government has pursued in
reference to the unhappy war in America has also had
my general concurrence, and the neutrality which
has been maintained has preserved to us the blessing
of unbroken peace. The growing prosperity of the coun-
try is matter for much thankfulness, and that prosperity I
believe to be mainly Owing to the action of those wise and
liberal measures initiated by the party now in office. I

thank you for the confidence that you have for so many
years reposed in me ; and should you again return me to
Parliament as your representative, you may rely on my
continued and most careful attention to the interests of
your city."

SHEFFIELD.

A candidate to oppose Mr. Roebuck has appeared
in the person of Mr. John Webb Probyn, and on
Wednesday night he addressed a meeting of electors
and non-electors. Mr. Probyn is supported by Mr.
Isaac Ironside, who has attained to a local noto-
riety as the chairman of the Sheffield Foreign Affairs
Committee, and by his denunciations of Garibaldi
and laudations of King Bomba. The other persons
who took a prominent part were mostly from the
ranks of the teetotallers and the advocates of the
Permissive Bill. Mr. Probyn said there was a deep-
seated dissatisfaction among the Liberal party with
the conduct of Mr. Roebuck, and it was in conse-
quence of that feeling he had ventured to take the
advice of some friends in London and come before
the constituency. He would support the bills
brought in by Mr. Locke King and Mr. Baines, and
suffrage, vote by wouldbal-
lo,
redistribution also supp or t
ofa lodging
seats,
abolition of church-
rates, tenderness towards the native races in our
colonies, non-intervention in the domestic affairs of
other countries, &c. The meeting, which consisted
of about 200 persons, pledged itself to support Mr.
Probyn. The candidate declared himself opposed
to abstinence by compulsion, but in favour of local
self-government, by means of town-councils, in re-
gard to the licensing system. It was resolved to
call upon the electors to sign a requisition to Mr.
Probyn, and upon the Mayor to convene a public
meeting to hear an address from him.

Sherman won't be Trotted Out.

General Sherman arrived in New York on the Ist
of June, and took up his temporary residence in
Twenty-third-street, where a great number of per-
sons called on him. Amongst the number was a
Herald reporter, to whom he remarked that his visit
to New York was simply of a private nature. He
wished to see a few personal friends, and expressed
the hope that his movements would receive as little
publicity as possible. As to the length of his stay
in New York, he could not give any decided
answer. In the afternoon he rode out to the
Central-park, ,and was recognised by some
who cheered him as he passed. Shortly before
nightfall the General appeared on the balcony
of the house, after returning from his ride, and
stood there for some time enjoying the refreshing
breeze then blowing. Few passers by were aware
of the fact, but two hours later knots of persons
congregated on the side walk and watched carefully,
in order, if possible, to catch a glimpse of one whom
they had learned to honour. But the bird had
flown for the time being. He had gone to Niblo's
Garden in company with General Van Vleit and
Mr. Scott, jun. At the garden he was shown to a
stage box, fronting the audience. On entering he
was immediately recognised, and cheer upon cheer
was sent up in his honour. Renewed calls were
made upon him for a speech, but without effect.
He merely bowed his acknowledgments. After
about an hour's stay he retired, and then a grand
rush was made by all contiguous to the box, in order
to shake the hand of the popular commander.
With great effort a passage was made for him, and
he at length made his escape through a back entrance
to the Metropolitan Hotel, where he remained for
some time, and then returned home. At 12 o'clock
General Sherman reached Mr. Scott's house in
Twenty-third street. He walked the entire way
coming from and going to Niblo's Gardens. A
crowd had lingered around the house the entire even-
ing, and swelled to somewhat respectable numbers
at 12 o'clock. When the General came up he was
immediately surrounded. He ascended the stoop,
however, and, taking off his hat, said :—" Boys, I
am not going to make any speech in New York, so
you need not wait here. I am much obliged to you
for coming to see me. Good night." A Voice—
"We want to look at you, General. General Sher-
man—" You will see me in broad daylight to-mor-
row, riding down Broadway." A Voice—" Come
down, and let us shake your hand." The General
then descended and went through a severe ordeal of
hand shaking. Voice—" General, we are your
army." General Sherman—" Oh, I have an army
of 100,000 men, the best I ever saw." Three
cheers were then given for the General, when he
entered the house, and the crowd dispersed.

LEEDS BANKING COMPANY.—The payment of the
first dividend of Bs. in the pound, under the winding
up of the affairs of this company, was commenced yesterday
at 11 o'clock in the forenoon, from which hour to the time
of closing in the afternoon the bank premises were crowded
with creditors. Excellent arrangements had been made
by Mr. Turquand, the official liquidator, to prevent over-
crowding or confusion, each creditor having had a circular
sent to him informing him the time, between certain hours,
yesterday or to day he might receive the dividend.. Those
persons who may not attend at the specified time will be
paid at the usual hours-- i. e., from 10 to 3 daily, on and

final examination may be taken before the magistrates of

Sir Thomas Henry then directed Inspector Williamson
to take charge of the prisoner and convey her that night
to the Wiltshire gaol.

On hearing the magistrate's decision the prisoner heaved
a sigh and fell back in her chair, as if greatly relieved
at the termination of this part of the proceedings. She was
then led into an adjoining room, and having solicited a
glass of water, with which she was supplied, a cab was
drawn up to the door of the private entrance of the Court,
into which she stepped, and, in company with Inspector
Williamson, drove off to the railway station en route
to Wiltshire.

The examination took place in the magistrate's private

room.

Yesterday, at 3 p.m., a stranger presented him-

with the Secretary of Legation. Almost immedi-

received five stabs from a dagger. The murderer
fled, but was stopped, when he wounded two other
persons before he was arrested.
The Secretary is reported to be dead.
In consequence of the death of the Czarewitch

of John West, late a labourer at Fenning's-wharf, who
came by his death in a terrible manner. Daniel Crummings
stated that he was employed at Fenning's-wharf, and that
on Friday last deceased came to him and asked if a "drop"
could be got out of some casks which they both supposed
contained brandy or wine. They both had a "suck at the
monkey," as it was called, and while the witness was some-
What burnt in the inside by what he took, the other man
died in a few hours. Mr. Arkless, the Customhouse gauger,
said the spirit in the cask sucked by deceased was pure Ham-
burgh spirit 66.8 over proof, and was, in fact, "liquid
fire." It was shown by the evidence of Mr. Lacey, a sur-
geon, that death was caused by the collapse arising after
taking an acrid poison, and a verdict to this effect was re-
turned.

SALT.—The export of salt from the United King-
dom in the two months ending Feb. 28 this year amounted
to 37,701 tons, as compared with 58,231 tons in 1864, and
54,728 tons in 1863 (corresponding periods.) The exports
to Russia were 233 tons against 365 tons in the correspond-
ing period of 1864; to the United States, 8,578 tons against
11,547 tons; to British America, 2,449 tons against 1,222
tons; to British India, 10,144 tons against 23,284 tons;
and to other countries, 16,295 tons against 21,813 tons.
There was thus a decrease this year in the exports in all
directions. The declared value of the salt exported to
Feb. 28 this year was £18,308 against £26,508 in 1864, and
£26,061 in 1863 (corresponding periods.)
THE LATE ACCIDENT TO MR. HENRY HOARE.—
We are glad to learn that Mr. B.enry Hoare (the well-known
banker), who recently met with a serious injury, while
travelling on the Great Eastern Railway, is making a fav-
ourable recovery. The immediate result of the accident
Was a concussion of the brain, attended with very grave
symptoms ; but we aro happy to say, on the authority of
his medical attendants, that Mr. Hoare has now so far re-
covered as to be able to move about again. After such a
severe shock to the system, however, it is not considered
advisable that Mr. Hoare should engage in his ordinary
occupations for some time.—Sussex Advertiser.
MR. J. W. ANSON'S BENEFIT.—The annual
benefit of Mr. J. W. Anson, treasurer of the Adelphi
Theatre, has been fixed for Wednesday, the 3rd of May,
and following evening. The claims of Mr. Anson upon
the public and the profession renders it a wise arrangement
to set aside two evenings for the occasion, because the
Adelphi Theatre on one particular night would certainly
be quite inadequate to accommodate the immense circle of
friends he has secured by his urbanity and attention. Mr.
Allsol2 has our best wishes for a double bumper,

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

HOUSE OF COALMONS--Tms EVENING.
The SPEAKER took the chair at the usual hour.
THE WATERWORKS BILL.
Mr. ROEBUCK gave notice that, on the second reading
of this bill, ho should move that it be referred to a select
committee.

EXHIBITION OF REFORMATORY CHILDREN.
Mr. T. MILLER asked the Secretary for the Home De-
partment whether his attention had been called to a pro-
posed exhibition of Reformatory children to be held at the
Agricultural Hall, Islington, on the 25th of May next, and
whether it met with his sanction and approbation ?
Sir G. GREY said his attention had not been directed
to the matter until the hon. member placed his question on
the paper. That morning he received by post a printed
paper, which stated that it was to be an exhibition
of the products of industrial schools, and it stated
further, that a thousand of these children would attend
and perform pieces of music on successive days. He
agreed with what he understood to be the feeling
of the hon. member, that it was highlyfiinexpedient
that children should be exhibited in the way proposed.
He had addressed a letter to Mr. Turner, one of thein-
spectors, who said that no children from the reformatory
schools would be allowed to attend, and that only the chil-
dren of industrial schools were contemplated by the pro-
moters of the movement.
Mr. MILLER—From the Middlesex Industrial Schools.
Sir G. GREY said they wero not reformatory schools
under the control of the Government.

titude, who caught their inspiration from the discon-
tented Red Republicans and Socialists of Germany
and France, as well as from the anti-Anglic an Irish
who swarmed into America at every tid ), and con-
tinually leavened the mind of the No:th by their
European notions. Having no idea .4 the constitu-
tion on which the great fabric of American liberty
rested, these immigrants gradually accustomed the
Northern mind to receive with favour and encou-
ragement the really un-American idea of a great and
indivisible nationality to extend over the whole con-
tinent. As there was a British nation, and a French
nation, why should there not be an American nation,
greater than either, to overcome the world by its
superior power, and gather to its bosom the halt,
the lame, the blind, the starving of all other coun-
tries, and convert them into free citizens of a coun-
try where every man has a vote, where there are no
kings and lords, and where the only true king is the
working man, who can command what wages he
pleases, or buy a farm for the merest trifle if so dis-
posed ? To achieve this object—to centralise the
power so as to make the Union feared abroad—the
North, using slavery as a convenient cry, fought the
battle of revolution against the South, and won it.
Pending the reconstruction of the Union the two
systems and the two schools of ideas must struggle
for the ascendancy. If centralisation gain the mas-
tery, and a foreign war be deliberately provoked by
both parties, with a view of cementing the restored
alliance of North and South, American liberty is likely
to become as much a thing of thepast as the Southern
Confederacy or the British Heptarchy. If, however,
the cardinal doctrine of " State Rights," disembar-
rassed for ever of the disturbing influence of slavery,
recommends itself to the councils of the people, there
will yet be a noble chance in the great and fertile
regions that lie between the Rocky Mountains and
the Atlantic Ocean for the perpetuation of a repub-
lican form of government. Foreign wars, which,
at this moment, when the great civil war cannot
fairly be considered so wholly at an end as to be
beyond the possibility of revival, and the creation of
a Poland or a Venetia in the cotton States, will but
render this the moment of victory the moment of
greatest peril to the stability of the Commonwealth.

made ?

Mr. Douglas—Quite so. So far from any inducement,
I may say that, to the best of my belief, the confession she
has made has been entirely of her own free will. It first
came to my knowledge about a fortnight ago, and it was
entirely her own proposition. Sho wished to confess and
give herself up. It was at her own proposition that we
came to London to enable her to surrender herself to the
law. She stated to me that she, alone and unaided, on the
night of the 29th of June, 1860, murdered, at Road
Hill House, Wiltshire, one Francis Saville Kent.
I never said anything to the prisoner to persuade her from
confessing. She did everything of her own free will. I
have been perfectly passive in the matter, feeling that she
was doing the right thing. It is certainly her own free
act. She thought of it herself, without any suggestions.

This was all the evidence offered on this occasion.

Sir Thomas Henry then cautioned the prisoner in the
usual manner, and told her that whatever she said would
be taken down in writing and used against her at her
trial.

Constance Kent, in replying, said, I wish it to be heard
that I have done all of my own free will. I have been
actuated by no persuasion. The piece of paper I now de-
liver is in my own handwriting.

Tho paper was read by Mr. Burnaby, the chief clerk, and
was as follows :

"I, Constance Emile Kent, alone and unaided, on the
night of the 29th of June, 1860, murdered, at Road-hill
House, Wiltshire, one Francis, Saville Kent. Before the
deed was done no one knew my intention, nor after of my
guilt." ,

Sir Thomas Henry—Did any one assist you ?
Prisoner—No. None assisted me in the crime.
Sir Thomas Henry—Or assist you afterwards?
Prisoner—Nobody assisted me in the evasion of my dis-

FRANCE,

ASSASSINATION OF THE SECRETARY OF

THE RUSSIAN LEGATION.
PARIS, APRIL 25.

Yesterday, at 3 p.m., a stranger presented him-
self at the Russian Embassy, demanding to speak
with the Secretary of Legation. Almost immedi-
ately after his entrance a noise was heard, and the
Secretary was found covered with blood, having
received five stabs from a dagger. The murderer
fled, but was stopped, when he wounded two other
persons before he was arrested.
The Secretary is reported to be dead.
In consequence of the death of the Czarewitch
the Emperor of the French will go into mourning
for nine days.

NICE, APRIL 25,

The body of the Czarewitch will be removed on
Wednesday next to the Russian church, and will
be embarked on Friday upon a Russian vessel for
conveyance to Cronstadt. Funeral honours will be
rendered to the deceased Prince by the French
authorities.

The Russian Imperial family will leave Nice for
Germany on Saturday next.
It is asserted that the squadron which is to accom-

THE ROAD MURDER.

CONFESSION OF THE MURDERESS

This. Day.

--
BOW-STREET POLICE COURT.

The great mystery which has surrounded this dreadful
murder ever since its perpetration in 1860 has at length
been dispelled by the confession of the murderess, who
proves to be no other than Miss Constance Emile Kent,
half-sister of the murdered child.

At four o'clock this afternoon, Miss Constance Emile
Kent was placed before Sir Thomas Henry, the chief
magistrate, charged, on her own confession, with the wil-
ful murder of Francis Saville Kent. She was attired
entirely in black, and wore such a thickly-worked veil
that her features were nearly entirely concealed. She
made the confession at Brighton, and without resorting to

the police authorities in that town she decided at once on
proceeding to London, and there undergoing the 'first ex-
amination. She was accompanied to town by the Rev.
