1966 , which is 20 above the average . A meeting of the general committee of the Albert memorial fund was held on Tuesday , at the Mansion House , hte Lord Mayor presided . The sub-committee reported that the contributions received and promised amounted to £ 31 , 779 The Great Eastern has left her moorings , at Milford , and proceeded up the Haven to Nanland ; where she has been placed on the " gridiron , " for repairs . The Metropolitan Board of
Works have adopted a report made by then- committee , to the effect that the board had no funds at their disposal to make the road across Hyde Park , though they would be willing to do so if the Government will find the money . It is probable the Government will reply that if they are to find the money they may as well find the work too , In the Court of Queen's Bench , on Saturday , a question of some interest to those who navigate the Thames was brought up .
By act of Parliament it is required that all vessels above the capacity of 50 tons should have constantly on board two properly qualified and skilful persons to navigate them . In June last the appellant , who was himself a qualified pilot , was convicted for having on board to assist him a person not qualified to navigate his barge . An appeal was taken , and it was held that there might have been a person qualified though he was not assisting ; and on this technical objection the conviction
was quashed . Mrs . Issot , who was shot by her husband , at Rochdale , some time ago—from motives of jealousy , it is supposed—died on Satin-clay . Isott has been committed for trial for murder . A man named Allford , has also been committed for trial at Bilston , for attempting—in a fit . of jealousy , it is believed—to take the life of a woman with whom he lived .
A fearful crime was committed at Derby , on Thursday night , A man , named Thorley , deliberately murdered a young woman who had rejected his addresses . A case of some interest has been heard in the Court of Exchequer . Mr . Mayall , the wellknown photographer , lent Mr . Tallis , late of the Illustrated News of the World , about 200 photographs of eminent persons for engraving , to enhance the sale of the paper , on this condition , among others , that the originals should be returned .
Mr . Tallis became bankrupt , ancl his assignees sold the photographs to a Mr . Higley , who republished some of them in a reduced form . Mr . Mayall , now brought his action to recover his property ; and as the Lord Chief Baron held that his right of ownership was clear , the jury awarded him damages accordingly . The adjourned inquest on the bodies of the poor fellows who lost then- lives by the fall of two house in Hackney , was held on Tuesday . A surveyor , an architect , and other
witnesses with practical knowledge , were examined . The jury returned a special verdict , which , after stating the cause of the accident , concludes thus : — " AVe do jfurther say that tbe causes of such accident were occasioned by the materials used in such building being of an inferior quality , by the incompleteness of the roof , by undue haste in their construction , and by the want of a more efficient supervision . " FOEEIGN INTELLIGENCE . —An imperial decree , published in the Moniteur , fixes at 6 f . 40 c . per cent , the sonlte , or " difference , " which is to be paid by the holders of the Four and a Half per Cents for the conversion of their stock into three per Cents . If the operation be
suceessra * , the French Treasury will consequently receive a sum of about £ 8 , 000 , 000 , which will be paid in six quarterly instalments , the first payable in July next , and the last in October , 1863 . The address in reply to the Emperor Napoleon ' s speech , which the French Senate is about to discuss and to adopt , declares that , although the civil war in America lias caused disturbance to French trade , and consequent suffering to French operatives , the Senate agrees with the Emperor in thinking " that the friendly relations between France and the United States made a policy of neutralitincumbent on France
y regarding that deplorable quarrel , and that the struggle would be all the shorter if not complicated by foreign interference . " The Moniteur publishes despatches from Admiral Bonard , giving details of the taking of Bienhoa , which the Annamites energetically defended . The result of this last operation , it is considered , will assure to the French and Spaniards the possession of an uncontested base for operations in Cochin China . Many circumstances have lately testified to the progress that Liberal opinion is making in Portugal .
The reactionary and repressive party , however , is far from extinguished , and on Monday a proposition was made in the Upper House to re-establish the censorship of books and other publications . The retrogressive measure was hotly contested , and was rejected by a maiority of 36 against 32 votes . According to a semi-official Dresden journal , the Austrian government lias resolved that there shall be a revision of the concordat which has disgusted so many of its subjects ; and the Pope , who is far more complaisant to the Emperor Francis Joseph than he is to any other of the Sovereigns whom he reckons among his spiritual children , is alleged to have" most readily expressed his acquiescence in the proposal .
