[SPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE HERALD BY CABLE, ] Lonpon, April 1, 1876, ‘The discussign in the House of Lords on the Royal * Titles bill has naturally not tended to easing the Popular mind on the subject. It is still the upper- most topic in the British Islands, the University boat race alone sharing public interest with it m London. As a consequence the air is full of ru- mors. THE OPPOSITION AT WORK. ‘Thg swinging round of the greater part of the re- spectable press, and the favor with which the ‘Strictures upon the proposed title of “Empress of India” has been received, have emboldened tue out- voted Parliamentary opposition to appeal to the country. This is being done by promoting meet- ‘ngs in the principal towns, : ‘THE ABSENT QUEEN, ‘The absence of Her Majesty from the country dur- ‘ng such @ popular ferment occasions some discon- tent. A ROYAL THREAT, i The Examiner of to-day declares confidently that the cause of Disraeli’s perseverance in pressing the bill through all its stages is the result of an intima- tion from Her Majesty the Queen to the effect that if the country refuses to comply with her wishes she ‘will consider the advisability of abdication. ANOTHER WILD RUMOR, On the other hand, the rumor has prevailed that ‘even ff the bill passes both Houses of Parliament the Queen will return it without the royal assent, and 80 prevent it from becoming a law. Such rumors ‘will convey to you the extent of the agitation and ‘the sensation it has become. THE Fact. + The truth is’ that the titie has long been contem- plated by the royal family, and I learn now (mid- night) that the royal assent will be given by com- mission when the bill has passed all its Pariiamen- tary stages, : ‘While Engiand and Scotland have shared the agitation Ireland has acted very differently. From the beginning the home rule members, in a com- pact body of over sixty, tave stood by the bill. * The mass of the Irish people regard the question of another title or two with indifference; but, as elemency is the usual concomitant of sach assump- tons of title, and as the-Fenlan prisoners are among those who might be expected to share it, the sup- port of the Irish was easily procured. Disraeli could not openly announce the bargain in terms, but he came as near doing so a8 a stage “aside” could render it, A FENIAN AMNESTY. At a private conference of the prominent home rule members of Parliament with the Right Hon- orable Mr. Cross, the Home Secretary, they were given tacitly to understand that in view of their support to the Royal Titles bill all the Fenian prisoners, including the military ones who’ have been condemned by court martial, will be released. O'Meagher Condon, it is thought, will be released in any event. THE AMNESTY AGITATION SUSPENDED. Before the conference a committee of Englishmen had been formed for the purpose of agitating for amnesty to the prisoners, but, in consequence of the above-mentioned private negotiations and under- + standing, further action on their part has been sus- pended. THE PRINCE OF WALES. ‘The feturn of the Prince of Wales to England is expected by the end of April. Some of the news- paper correspondents who accompanied Albert Ed., ward on his Indian tour are already here. ALDERMANIC SQUABBLES, The city magnates are preparing to give the Prince of Wales a grand reception, after some Bquabbling, which prevailed very much this week at Guildhall. ei WANTED, AN ALDERMANIC RING. During a police assault investigation at the Man- sion House, arising out of Her Majesty's visit to Whitechapel, two of the city Aldermen upheld the flignity of the civic bench by a wordy battle which tame very near to ending in a display of fisticufts. ' THE CZAR'S TOUR. ‘The rumors which have been circulated relative to the Czar Alexander's resignation “of power are dig- credited here. The fact is, His Majesty’s health is | failing and he needs repose from the cares of State. There is nothing unusual in his annual visit to the | palace of Yalta, in the Crimea, which the ‘English papers confused with a visit to the island of Malta. ‘THE EMPRESS OF AUSTRIA. Her Majesty the Empress Elizabeth of Austria leaves England to-morrow. DON CARLOS AMONG THE GREAT GUNS. Don Carlos has béen inspecting Woolwich Arsenal. He reviewed the troops atid complimented them on thelr appearance and drill, whereat England should rejoice. 4 LOVER OF ROYALTY LOCKED UP. Among other royalty gossip, I may mention that an elderly man presented himself at Windsor Castle, just before the Queen's departure, and stated that | he was the bridegroom of the Princess Beatrice. He was promptly arrested and incarcerated. LAWYER KENEALLY AS 4 RELIGIOUS REVIVALIST. Another scion of royalty, Mr. Kenealy, M.

Se Naaman eens SY ORE Es from the Edwards, Kings of Engiand, proposes to hold religious services on the heavenly basis of the Sermon on the Mount, and for the benefit of his health to make a lecturing tour in the United States. CAMERON COMIXG. Léeutenant Cameron, the African explorer, is ex- | pectell to arrive at Liverpoo! from Egypt to-morrow. | ‘The members of the Royal Geographical Society will receive him on Tuesday night. He will doubtless have an enthusiastic reception from the scientists and the people. PREPARING FOR THE PLAGUE. ‘The alarmist newspapers are preparing a triumph- ans procession for the reception of the plague, which, they say, will pass from Bagdad to the Le- vant, and thence through Enrope to England. LOOKING TO TRE WATER SUPPLY. In consequence of this prediction of the press, ‘London is horror struck at revelations which have been made relative to the condition of the water supply. THE UNIVERSIVIES’ BOAT RACE. ‘The coming boat race between the Oxford and Cambridge universities’ crews engrossea metro- politan attention, The Cambridge crew have picked up wonderfully since they arrived. PROVESSIONAL OPLNION, The Thames watermen enthusiastically praise their style and swing. Both crews are im perfect training. 4 GRAND STRUGGLE. ‘The probability is that the present will be one of the closest races which has ever been rowed on the Thames. HAMMERSMITH BRIDGE UNSAFE. ‘The authorities will close Hammersmith Bridge to the public on the 8th inst., the day of the inter-unl- versity boat race, deeming It unsafe. ‘THE CANTABS. Bel’s Life, speaking of the race, says:—“If the Cantabs (the Cambridge crew) can stay they should win, if style is any criterion of merit.” THE BETTING. ‘The betting on Thursday was slightly in favor ,of Cambridge, Jt is now about even. : THE INTERNATIONAL RACK. Referring to the ternational regatta to take place at Philadelphia, Bell’s Lie remarks:—“We have no knowledge of any English racing yacht likely to participate in the international regatta at Phila- delphia from June 22 to June 26. Several cruising craft, we believe, are going across to the Centennial. The schooner Helen, of 283 tons, has already left Cowes for Philadeiphia.” ‘ DANCING AND S0NG. London tociety, already weary of spelling bees, bas adopted a mew amusement. This is found in dancing quadrilles without the accompaniment of instrumental music—the dancers themselves sing- ing their own dance music. This consists, gener- ally, of simple nursery rhymes; for instance, “Little- Bo-Peep,” “Old Mother Hubbard” and other old-fash- foned tunes. ARISTOCRATIC PATRONAGE. ‘There was @ dance on this principle at the town residence of the Spéaker of the House of Commons, Right Honorable Mr. Brand, on Wednesday. It proved a highly successful novelty. VINANCIAL. ‘The market was quiet until the middle of the week, when extensive bear operations produced thetr effect both in London and Paris. For the mo- ment “rings” were triumphant. Turkish sixes fell heavily on the announcement of the postponement of April dividends, A/fiancial paper, in comment- ing on this fact, vanishes the last shred oe recover from the blow.” 4 GREAT Loss. Accomparison of the prices of Turkish, Egyptian and Peruvian securities with those of last year shows that there has been @ depreciation in value equal to £91,000,000. ANOTHER SURPRISE. Disraeli has prepared another surprise for the country. It was announced at two o'clock this morning, through Sir Stafford Northcote, that the Khedive had sanctioned the publication of the report of Mr. Cave, the Engilsh Commis- sioner; but Saturday being an off day the publicity is necessarily delayed, and thus the stock | speculators must wait. In London and Paris the exchanges have been much excited. In London Egyptian securities rose sharply. Operators in Paris followed suit, although .the bears have been fighting vigorously. A FAVORABLE OUTLOOK. It ,is rumored that the report fully con- firms Sir Stafford Northcote’s statement made on the 14th of February, and further shows that the financial situation of Egypt cannot be considered desperate, inasmuch as the books of the Khedive de monstrate that the receipts of the country are more than sufficient to pay the intereston the debt and sinking fubd. For the floating debt, amounting w about £14,000,000, provision can be made by raising taxes and increasing the income from the ports of Alexandria and Ismailia, THE BAD JUDGMENT OF THE KHEDIVE. ' Itis rumored that the report fully’ censures the expenditure that has been made on unproductive rajlroads and large industrial establishments, Many Of the latter, particularly the cotton and sugar works of the Khedive, are believed tu have been worked at @ loss. } THE GUANO QUESTION. “It is reported that the Société Générale has con- | cluded ag arrangement with the Peruvian govern- ment with reference to the guano contract, Conse- quently Peruvian securities have advanced to 29. LIKE A KOCK IN THE OCEAN. In the midst of ail this turmoil and excitement, American government bonds and railway securities have stood as firmly as @ rock in a stormy ocean. The former even continue their upward course. | ‘The latter suffered from a slight reactionary decline, | but generally remained steady amid the crash of | falling stocks. It is a noticeable fact that the ap- preciation of their value 1s daily spreading. | NO BRITISH RIFLE TEAM FOR AMERICA—EMMA MINE PAPERS TO BE FORWARDED TO WASH- INGTON—THE IRON TRADB EXCEEDINGLY DULL—'CHANGE IMPROVING IN TONE.

The depressed state of business in Mincing Lane has been farther increased by the cessation of the export G@emana usually experienced in the spring, and the cur rent low quotations fill to excite any speculative teel- tng athome, An accumulation of stocks bas therefore occurred, and the markets generally remain inactive.

HERALD BUREAU, No. 61 AVENUE DE L'OPERA, Panis, April 1, 1876. ‘The alliance between Gambetta and Thiers, secur- ing as it does the homogeneity of the republican mujority in the French Parliament, is a source o sincere pleasure to the friends of moderate progress here. It is, however, a great trouble to the reac- tonaries of all kinds. Hence it ts gratifying to state that these two leaders, who control the majority, are friendly, the Bonapartist rumors to the contrary notwithstanding, the wish with them being father to the thought. QUEEN VICTORIA'S JOURNEY.

Livarvoo, April 1, 1876, The cottom market was very steady until the last half of the week, since which time prices for Ameri- can descriptions have been somewhat lower. Though Surats are unchanged, some classes of Egyptian are higher. There has been only a moderate inquiry for Brazilian, and prices ave in favor of buyers, excepting Maranham, which is id. bigher. The trade demand has been smaller than for the previous weeks of Mareb. Speculators have also taken less, but exporters have continued to fi . Holders have shown more inclination to meet the views of buyers, pecially on Thureday and Friday. They are, how- ever, not disposed to press sales, sceming tu have con- tidence in present values.

AUDIENCE. ‘The audience was very brilliant, representing the Yeaders of Parisian society, including almost all people prominent in fashionable circles, the most noted artista, musicians, authors and jour- nalists, MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC NOTES.

Novelty is the ambition of all their mane- gers, who wish to give as many pieces as possible on one night, whilo the regular theatres endeavor t6 run single piece for as many nights as they can. Booth's Theatre will be closed this week to allow complete rebearsals ot ‘Heury V.,” which will be pro- juced on the 10th of April, with George Kignold, C, A.

It is generally poor and cold, and con- tnually suggestive of plagiarisms. THE MISE KN SCENE.

JAMES E LYON'S COUNTER STATEMENT AND CROSS-EXAMINATION—HE LIVES BY BORROW- ING MONEY, AND FORGOT, UNDER OATH, THAT HE WAS AN OWNER*IN THE EMMA MINE. Wasusxerox, April 1, 1876. Hiram A, Johuson, counset for James K. Lyon, read to the Committeo on Foreign Affuirs.to-day 9 statement in behalf of his client, as follows GxNTLEMKN—When the ex-Minister to England ap- peared before Your committoc, on the morning of the 28th ult, ho obtained permission to read a statement, which be iniormed the committee he desired should precede the testimony that he was then about to pre- sent explanatory of is connection with the Emma Si:- ver Mining Company (limited), of London. As this Statement was presented for the obvious purpose of assailing the character of Mr. Johnson and myself, and as he evidently intended to secure for it a wide ublication in the principal news| of the United States, as followed through ti agent of the Associated Presa, he then being present in the room of the committee, I beg to sub- mit the following statemont, viz :—That Geueral Rob- ort © Schenck, before and at the time of presenting hie gaid statement, as he bas since been compelled to state to this committee, had no personal knowledge whatever on which to base the statement, and tha theretore, the charges therein contained that Mr, Juli son and myself were men of infamous character and unworthy of credit under oath were wantonly made and utterly unbecoming a man who had occupied high positions Of trust and honor und the confidence of his country. Inese statements bave been further charac- terized by the reading ot a letter to the committee by General Schenck in the progress of his testimony, writ- ten to him, as he says, by aman in London whom he did not know and of whom ho has no knowledge what ever, In which Lam charged with having absconded from Engiand, which lotier was also published throughout the country, General Schenck having personally placed the same in the hands of the Associated Press trom the chair of the witness, which he then occupied in the presentation of his evidence. 1 pronounce all the statements above recited fulse and untrue, and I chal- lenge General Schenck and his associate venders of the Emma tnine to produce testimony betore this commit- tee that shal! in the slightest degree militate against the creditability of Mr. Johnson or imyself, or such as shall in any sense tend to excuse his connection with the sale of the Kmma mine in London.

Ho was asked the question, ‘In the sworn examina- tion given betore a New York judge as to your means when you were examined in regard to an execution, what did you say regarding your means to pay your hotel bill?” The witness replica that he could not recollect, bat the paper would show; he left this coun- try in the fall of 18T1 and returned in October, 1874; he left unsatisfied judgments to the amount of $53,000, which bave not yet been satisiied; he leit England in 1874, but did not know whether he went to Parw then or not.

This is the Metropolitan Bank doing business in Montreal and Quebec. It has beet known for some time that the affairs of this bank ba¢ been so loosely managed that grave doubts had arises tn the minds of the shareholders concerning the soundness of the matitution. This caused the quasi stockholders to demand from the directors a true statement of the position of the bank. From this Statement s¢ appears that there i8 @ defeit of $199,986 over and above assets, a0 that if the bank wero to liquidate at once it would show this loss, with a paid up capital of only $05,400, It ts, indeed, surprising that the directors, Composed of some of the leading men of Montreal, should allow the bank to go down without an effort to Sustain it, now that business is reviving It is hoped that the Metropolitan, if it can keep te doors open, will pursue a more conservative course, No divider should be paid this year. The followin; a statement of its affairs, ‘Total abilities of the bank amounted to Due to government.

Considerable uneasiness has for some time prevailed ‘among the journeymen carponters of the city on ace count of the presumod intention of tho masters to re- duce the wages of the men and increase the hours of labor. Several of the masters, in all about twenty, have already reduced the men’s wages fifty cents per day and made the day’s work on Saturday nine instead of eight hours, as formerly. Many of the men have retused to work upou these terms, and one firm has, in consequence, discharged all its hands. Many other firms’ have lost a num ber of their workmen for the same reuson, | Hewatp reporter yesterday had a conversation with the heads of the Octagon Lodge in reierence to the present difliculty aud the immediate prospects of the men, The above organization ix known as one of imost respectable trade associations in th Alter having stated the action of tho bosees, as g! above, the Octagon men said that the course already pur- sued by them, and which they further cont was one which had lor 18 object « pgrely at Taugement between masters and nen. y hated strikes, aud intended, if possible, to avoid one, But the improssion was general and well founded among them that the action of those bosses who had already tried to make their men accept the new terms was sim- ply a “feeler’’ put out by them on behalf of the whole vody of master carpenters of thecity, They bad, there- tore, concluded thatas the general enforcement of these terms would lead to a strike it was much better to take time by the forelock and settle the matter, for the next year at least, by an amicable arrangement, The main points of the men’s case, as put by their represonta- tives are, that a large proportion of the carpen. ters are’ married men with families; tnat $9 per day is as small 6 sum as any tan, hatly with a family, can live oon with any degree of common decency ; that the daily average damage te tools 1s about twenty cents; that they are any day lable to be sent to work at any point between Harlem and the Battery, and that no cur lure is allowed, They strongly disclaim any idea but that of asking for su ficrent pay to live upon with decency.
