Nrw YORK, March 29th, 1866.
The supply of money continues in excess of the demand,
and the Stock Exchange is freely supplied at 5 per cent.
for loans returnable at call. There is more activity in the
discount market. First-class paper, 6} to 7} ; second-class,
Bto 9. During the week gold has advanced from 125 to
128 to 127} per cent. This upward tendency is partly at-
tributed to speculative influences, and partly to a natural
rebound, after the rapid decline, caused by large Govern-
ment sales of gold. The extreme prices during the pre-
sent year were :

There is an increasing weakness in the foreign ex-
change rates. There is no lack of bills on London and
Paris against current exports of cotton from this port, and
direct from the South, and foreign orders for export were
large by recent steamers. Best bills on London were done
at 107; other good bank credits, 1061. Importers are
buying to a fair but still inadequate, extent. An improv-
ing and steady business has been done in foreign dry
goods and general merchandise. Sales of Government
securities were larger to-day than usual, and at firm
prices. Large sales of 7-30 per Cents. have been made at
1001, and 5-20's at 1041 per cent. ; and the 1040 Years
5 per Cent. Stock has further advanced to 92 to 921 per
cent.
The Railway movement at tho Stock Exchange has
boon enlivened to-day by the ups and downs in Erie shares,
from 79 to 76 to 781 to 76 to 781 to 77 per cent., and all
these fluctuations in the course of a few hours. The ex-
treme fall from yesterday morning is equal to six per cent.
No explanation of the excitement is afforded on the Street,
beyond the general surmise that the great operators are
playing for a lower basis on which to inaugurate a fresh
upward movement, as they have repeatedly played before ;
or else that the impose is to break down the general
market, in sympathy with a prominent speculative stock
which they aro able to sell down. Tho last-named object
(if there be anything in the suspicion) has thus far failed
of its accomplishment, the changes in most of the other
railways since yesterday being unimportant, while on
some of them there is an actual advance.
At the Afternoon Boards the market for Governments
was firm, and the general Railway list steady ; Erie shares
selling up to 781 per cent, though soon after the adjourn-
ment falling again to 771 771 per cent. The sales of Rock
Island at the second regular board wore at 116 to 1161 per
cent; but on this stock there was a sudden fall later in the
afternoon to 112 to 111 per cent, ascribed to the rumoured
conclusion of the executive committee of the board of
direction to make no more than' the regular 5 per cent.
half-yearly dividend in April.

SUBSCRIPTIONS for the WIDOW and
CHILDREN of the late Captain R. 11. GRONOW,
formerly of the Grenadier Guards, and Author of " Recol-
lections and Anecdotes," " Celebrities of London and
Paris," &c. Captain Gronow, who lately died in Paris,
has left a widow and four young children, by his second
marriage utterly destitute, without means to defray his
funeral expenses, or even to purchase bread. Captain
Gronow was disinherited by his father,
.in favour of
his brother, a clergyman, and the small income which
he derived from the interest of a sum charged on the family
estate ceased with his life ; while the sums be received
from time to time for his " Recollections" were expended
in providing for the increasing expenses of his young
family. Under these distressing circumstances the friends
of Madame Gronow in Paris came to her aid, and they now
appeal to the liberality of her late husband's friends in
London, and also to the readers of his Reminiscences, for
contributions to enable her to maintain and educate her
children.

TEETH AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY.-
The fear of pain and dread of ope-attowinherent to all
deter very many to whom ARTIFICIAL TEETH are of
vital importance from availing themselves of the services of
a dentist. In a practice founded in 1830, and now ex ending
over greater part of the kingdom, an experience unequalled
has been obtained, enabling us to offer even the most sensi-
tive sufferer a system of dentistry perfect in its absolute
freedom from pain, a speciallte pertaining, only to our prac-
tice, and for which her Majesty has granted her royal letters
patent. This system embraces the non-interference with all
stumps, however decayed, the supporting instead of extrac-
tion of loose teeth mull they become firm and useful in mas-
tication, and the utter absence of all and every operation, so
that the most nervous person can be supplied without fear of
pain or inconvenience. These teeth are cheaper, more dur-
able, natural, and comfortable than any yet produced.
Consultation free. Teeth fkom Si, Sets from 5 to 25 gs.,
warranted.

For theefficaoy, utility, and mosso of this system, vide

MUNIFICENT GIFT.—The nieces of the late Ad-
miral Meynell, M.P. for Lisburn, have presented to the
National Lifeboat Institution the munificent sum of .£5OO
to defray the cost of a lifeboat. The boat, which is 32
feet long, and is named the Admiral Meynell, had its har-
bour trial yesterday, in the Regent's Canal Dock, Lime-
house. It is to be stationed at Ballywalter, county Down,
and will leave for Belfast by steamer to-morrow morning,
the Belfast Steam Shipping Company having kindly pro-
mised it a free conveyance.
[ADVERTISEMSNT. I—Holloway's Pills for Indigestion,
Stomach, and Liver Complaints.—Persons suffering front
any derangement of the liver, stomach, or the organs of
digestion should have recourse to Holloway's pills, as there
is no medicine that acts on these particular complaints
with such certain success. They strengthen the tone of
the stomach, increase the appetite, purify the blood, and
correct depraved secretions. In bowel complaints they re-
move their primary cause, and soon restore the patient to
sound health. Nervous or sick headaches, and depression
of spirits, may be speedily relieved by a course of these
pills. They are composed of rare balsams, without the ad-
mixture of a grain of mercury, or any noxious substance/
and are as safe as they are efficacious.

EXTRAORDINARY CIIARGE OF ROBBERY.—Maria Parnell
a young married woman with an infant in her arms, was
placed at the bar charged with stealing a great quantity of
wearing apparel.
The prosecutrix, who described herself as Frances
Stevenson, said that the prisoner lived in her service in
June, 1861, for six weeks, and suddenly left one morning
without a word of notice, taking with her some dresses
shawls, petticoats, &c. She never
_heard anything of her
afterwards, and met her last night, when she gave her
into custody.

Mr. Smyth, for prisoner, cross-examined prosecutrix,
who again and again swore positively that she was sure
she was her former servant, and iu this respect she was
confirmed by a girl who also lived in her house.
Mr. Smyth further cross-examined the prosecutrix, who
admitted that she had once beforo charged a gentleman at
this °mixt with robbing hor of a watch, but he was ac-
quitted on the ground of mistaken identity. She was then
" gay," but had since married.
Mr. Smythe said ho would show, if time were given,
that prisoner was in the service of another family at the
time she was charged with living with Mrs. Stevenson.
She was a respectable married woman, and her last em-
ployer was present to speak to her character.
A gentleman gave her the highest character, and ex-
pressed his willingness to bail her.
Mr. Arnold accepted him for her appearance next week.

THREE MEN KILLED IN A PIT SHAFT.--On
Thursday morning at Benhar, adjoining Harthill,
in the parish of Whitburn, three men named William Pate,
John and James Hare (brothers), and Robert Hare, their
uncle, were engaged in clearing out the shank and level of
a pit in order to get rid of an accumulation of water. They
got on to the cage to descend the pit, when tho chain
snapped near the pulley on the top of the pit-head frame,
and the four unfortunate men were precipitated down the
pit a depth of 20 fathoms. William Pate was killed in-
stantaneously ; Robert Hare died about an hour after the
occurrence; and John and James Hare were found to be'
very seriously hurt. The dead bodies of the two men were
conveyed home in carts, and the two injured were conveyed
home on stretchers. John Hare, who had to undergo am-
putation of one of his legs, died the same night in about
three hours after the operation. The men were all married,
and have left families.

GREAT WESTERN.

The adjourned Wharncliffe meeting of this com-
pany was held yesterday at the Paddington station;
Mr. Gooch, M.P., in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN said the only business left was
the consideration of a bill for the amalgamation
of the Vale of Neath Railway Company with the
Great Western Railway Company. This bill had
been fully discussed last year. He had merely to
move a resolution approving it.

Mr. LANCASTER wished to know if it affected the
Great Western Company.
Mr. YOUNG (the solicitor) said the clauses pro-
vided for the amalgamation of the Vale of Neath
Company with the Great Western. The priority of
preference dividend of the Vale of Neath Com-
pany was protected, and the capital of that com-
pany was to be kept distinct from the capital of the
Great Western Company. The bill also provided
for the appropriation of the surplus lands of the
Vale of Neath.

The CHAIRMAN said the agreement was that the
Vale of Neath Company should have 5.26 per cent.
of the net receipts of the amalgamated companies.
It was agreed that the Vale of Neath was not to
receive less than £85,000 per annum.
A resolution approving the bill was then unani-
mously carried, and a vote of thanks to the chair-
man concluded the proceedings.

A LONDON MOB,

W. D. B. writes to the Times as follows :—As it
is possible that some journals which affect to repre-
sent public opinion may allude to a scene which oc-
curred to-day as a proof of the real feeling of the
working men of the metropolis on the question of
Reform, I beg permission to describe what that
scene really was, and of what ingredients its prin-
cipal actors were composed. •
Returr.ing quiet ly from' the House through the
Green Park, ruminating over the scanty intelligence
which had been furnished me by Mr. Gladstone, I
suddenly heard yells proceeding from some dis-
tance behind me, which, as I paused to listen, gave
notice, by their increasing dissonance, of their rapid
approach.
A divergence of a hundred yards or so brought me
in view of three gentlemen walking abreast, pursued
by about 20 men and twice as many boys and
girls, who were engaged in serenading them with
the music that first attracted my attention.
My first impression was that Mr. Villiers was
being escorted home by pauper lunatics, who were
adopting this mode of congratulating him on his
admirable management of metropolitan workhouse
infirmaries ; but a nearer inspection showed me that
this was a grand reform demonstration, and that the
working-man was expressing his disapprobation of
the opposition to the Government Reform Bill in
general and of the conduct of Mr. Lowe in parbi-
cular.

Seeing him but slenderly attended, and judging
from the appearance of his followers that something
more than insult might be intended, I joined his
small bodyguard and walked with him to the steps
of the Duke of York's column, where he got into
a carriage and drove away. During .the walk I
took especial notice of the very
few grown men who
contributed a ;very inadequate base to the shrill
treble of the boy-and-girl majority of serenaders.
know something of the real working man of
tOndon, and I can safely assert that not more than
:two or three of the little mob bore the least resem-
Wince to the class intended to be represented. The
1 •
great majority were of that stamp whose proximity
leads a man instinctively to button up his coat and
feel for his watch. Two or three were indisputably
drunk, and of these ono, a young fellow, about as
ill-favoured an example of a non-elector as I have
yet come across, lurched past me twice, and on each
occasion endeavoured to articulate some dangerous
doctrines, the syllables of which, however, like the
Reform Bill itself, became f used in committee in
his mouth, and never either redistributed or repro-
duced themselves in an intelligible shape.
Are we to expect, Sir, much more of this ? Is
this the true expression of " popular opinion ?"

I see that great meetings are being held express-
ing firm confidence in the Government, and an
earnest desire for the dissolution of Parliament.
May I ask of what materials these meetings are
cowposed ?

The Empress and the Prince Imperial, accoin"

visited the Bank of France on Saturday. Her
Majesty, attended by M. Rouland, the governor,
minutely inspected the whole establishment, calling
the attention of the Prince to all which could lute"
rest him or excite his curiosity. After a long e3c3;
mination her Majesty returned to the apartment
the governor, and, addressing Count Fillet: dl
and M. Mallet, two of the regents, presented ill the
Emperor's name to the former the cross of Officer it;
the Legion of Honour, and to the latter that

effected a large amount of good, and is destined to do sitla
more, when once a complete system of protection is carreu
out. The fish this year have been, as a rule, rather sla3tc;
although numerous in some localities, and, accordiub
u a
the opinion of experienced pisciculturists, large sal
will not be numerous in streams that have been neglee.t.etu
for years past for another two or three seasons. In So'.` g
Wales considerable difficulty is experienced in prov"lt,Tio
poisonous refuse from being thrown into the rivers. )-1::a
refuse is from the tin plate, chemical, silver, lead, auou
other works, which, up to the enactment of the SulTeir
Fishery Act, were allowed, without hindrance, 0 run

report that through the energetic action of the cons'

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.---This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
SERIOUSLY INJURING A BOY.—Eliza Narsh, a German
laundress, carrying on business at No. 87, Charlotto-street,
Fitzroy-square, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with
violently assaulting a boy named 'William Carr, residing
at No. 8, Bennett-street, Fitzroy-square.
The complainant, whose head was enveloped in a ban-
dage, said, a little after 10 o'clock last night some niggers
were singing and playing outside a public-house, when a
boy ran into the prisoner's shop and called her a name.
The prisoner then camo to the door with a can of water
and lung it into the street, and it struck him on the head
cutting it very badly. I was afterwards taken to Dr.
Saul's in Charlotte-stroot, and had the wound attended to.
The prisoner (through Mr. Albert)—Was it not done
accidentally ?
The bay - She threw the can at anybody.
Mr. Tyrwhitt (to the boy)—ls all the blood I seegabout
you from the wound?
The boy—Yes, sir, I lost a deal of blood.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—Had you been in the shop ?
_ .

The boy—No, sir.
Police-constable Thomas Boyce, 55 o—Last night I saw
the'aboy coming out of the doctor's, bleeding so profusely
that I could scarcely see his face. The boy told me that
the prisoner had struck him in the head with a can, and I
took her into custody, when she denied all knowledge of it.
The can—a half-gallon one—was smashed by one of the
boys about the .street. The wound the boy had received
was about two inches in length, and it had to bo sewn up.
Mr. Tyrwhitt —lt will be my duty to remand the pri-
soner to see how the boy gets on, because especially in
this hot weather there is danger of erysipelas setting in.
It was a most improper thing to throw such a can into
the street.

THAMES.

LOVERS' QUARRELS. —ATTEMPTED SUlClDE.—Matilda
Naylor, a very pretty fair-haired girl, with great simplicity
of manners, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with
attempting to commit suicide in the water of the Regent's
Canal, at Limehouse.
A police-constable of the K division stated that ho was on
duty at the top of Salmon's-lane last night, and heard that
a female had plunged into the canal from the bridge. He
found the prisoner on the bank. She had just been taken
out of the water, and was nearly insensible. She said she
had been quarrelling with her youi4l; man, and that he caused
her to make the rash attempt on her life.
Mr. Paget asked tho prisoner if she had anything to say,
and she replied in a simple and artless manner, "1 quarrelled
with the young man I have been keeping company with."
Mr. Paget —And that caused you to commit this wicked
act ?

The prisoner—Yes, sir.
John Wallace, a youth, said ho had been keeping com-
pany with the prisoner for three months. Ho left her at
the corner of the Dog-row, Mile-end, last night, at a quar-
ter past 10 o'clock. They had some words, and she would
not let him see her home, and said she would go home by
herself.
The mother of the prisoner was desired to enter the
witness-box, and she said—l know nothing about it at all.
My daughter left home yesterday afternoon very com-
fortably at half-past two o'clock.
Mr. Paget remanded the prisoner for a week to the
Clerkenwell House of Detention, where she will have the
benefit of the spiritual advice and consolation of the worthy
chaplain. Mr. Paget, at the same time, directed the mother
of the girl to attend the court when the daughter was again
brought up.
The Mother—Please, sir, can I see my poor daughter ;
lot me see her.
Mr. Paget—You can see her; speak to the gaoler.
The prisoner was removed from the court crying for her
mother, with whom Roche, the gaoler, soon arranged an
interview.
THE MURDER IN ROSEMARY-LANE.—Lispector Dandy
applied to Mr. Paget for summonses in the case of Patrick
Harrington, who stabbed his son-in-law on Sunday night.
We stated yesterday that it was intended to commit the
prisoner for trial, but owing to the prisoner's strong asseve-
rations of innocence, it was deemed necessary that addi-
tional confirmatory evidence should be given to the state-
ments of Cornelius Leary and his son Daniel, who swore
that the prisoner struck Peter Mann, his son-in-law,
on the right breast, that the deceased reeled, called out "Old
man you have stabbed me," that the blood gushed from a
wound on the breast, and that the young man turned over
and died immediately.
Inspector Dandy said that several others would confirm
the testimony of the Leary', and that there was no dis-
position on the part of any of the Irish who saw the fatal
blow struck to screen the prisoner.
Mr. Paget granted the summonses, and they were made
out by Mr. Nairn, the second clerk, and entrusted to
Howland, No. 80 11., one of the summoning officers of the
court to execute. The atrocious murderhas created a great
feeling of indignation in the locality where it took place.
