Bank Keturns.

The Gazeite of Saturday brings us re- turns for April, which are much as might be expected from the general reports dur- ing the month and the course of eveuts out- \side. Circulation has gone on decreasing, the fall for the month being $1,131,000, but the whole of this decrease and $68,000 more also, is in Ontario and Quebec, where the decrease has been from $17,221,000 to $16,122,000 or $1,099,000. Government deposits show a decrease of $302,000, as was to be expected after the heavy increase in the twe preceding months. Private de- posits, payable on demand, have taken a slight turn, and show an increase of $226,- 000; but those payable at notice have con- tinued to decrease and fallen off $1,028,000. Here again it is noticeable that in Ontario and Quebec the latter item shews an in- crease of $843,000 and nearly all of the other, $205,000, is also shown in their banks, The amounts due to other banksin Canada have increased $286,- 000, probably from the increased ease of money and those due in the United King- dom, $461,000, doubtless from the rates at which money is going begging there, though it does seem strange that our bankers should increase their liabilities at a time when they can’t find employment for their own money. On the other side of the account we find a decrease of $294,000 in the amount due by Canadian banks, of $71,000 in that due from the United Kingdom and of $72,000 on that due by foreign countries. Discounts have continued to decre*se; loans on bank stock have fallen off $142,000, and notes and bills $1,677,000; but for the first time in several months we find a decrease in notes overdue and not specially secured, its extent being $341,000. It is thus evi- dent that the pressure on banks is diminish- ing on all sides; less is wanted here and they can get more help outside should they desire it, under which circumstances easy money seems tolerably certain.

Intercolonial Railway Changes.

—-

Acting on the recommendation of My. Schrieber, the Minister of Railways has made the following changes in the staff of the Intercolonial Railway at St. John :— ©. Tapley, formerly cashier and account- ant, becomes chief clerk at his old salary— $800; Thos. Mack, formerly freight agent at $1,000 year, becomes‘ billing clerk, with a salary of $500 ; J. J. Seely, formerly freight clerk, with $650 a year, becomes clerk at cash window, with $500 a year ; Watten Small, summary clerk at $600, be- comes billing clerk at $500; T. P. Wil- liams. delivery clerk, is reduced to $500 ; E. P. Shaw, delivery clerk, has been made checker at a salary of $500; J. W. Rusk is made sole receiving clerk at a salary of 1$500, and M. B. Vail, formerly receiving clerk, becomes delivery clerk at $500. The three last mentioned were formerly paid $600 a year. In the station, William Robertson, station-master, is continued at his old salary. Osborne Blois, ticket agent, becomes ticket clerk at $600—reduction of $200. These are the most important of the changes effected. Quite an amount of ex- citement prevailed in a circles to-day jin consequence.—St. John Tel.

THE ZULU CAMPAIGN. Porrsmourn, May 2%.

In addition to 2,500 troops under orders to embark, there are also eight companies of Marines and two of Marine Artillery, a total of 1,130 men, ordered to embark for Zululand early next week.

Sir Garnet Wolseley, with his staif, sails to-morrow for South Africa.

Simon Bay, May 15.

It is rumored that Catewayo burnt Royal Kraal at Hlurdi with the view of leaving the British no point to strike at and adopt- ing a system of bush warfare.

Sixty-five more cases of fever and dysen- tery occurred amongst the troops.

It is reported that Dabulmanzi, Cate- wayo’s brother, while attempting to join the British, was killed in an engagement with his brother's troops.

Colonel Crealock is ill.

THE DARIEN CANAL PROJECT. Paris, May 29.

The Canal Congress adopted Panama- Limon Bay route. Mr. Appleton, one of the American representatives, voted for the scheme, but MRear-Admiral Ammon, of United States navy abstained from voting. Congress then closed its labors,

THE RUSSIAN REIGN OF TERROR. Lonpon, May 29.

The Times publishes a letter from St. Petersburg, which says: ‘‘ The statements published abroad concerning the situation are exaggerated. Living under an exclu- sively military law here, is, perhaps, worse than in Bulgaria during actual war, but, although this state of things does not sit lightly on many, persons are still plenty who van find it in their hearts to enjoy themselves and make merry at the opening of the summer season. It is not the reign of terror, nor the state of siege; it is only the state of military law, where one half of the population is set to watch the other. The state of siege is a step farther, and we have not come to that yet.”

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. Paris, May 29.

In consequence of the refusal of the Chamber to declare ‘‘ urgency” for M. Clemenceau’s motion demanding the tem- porary release of Blanqui, M. Lockroy has abandoned his interpellation, by means of which the Radicals intended to attack the Government for the mode in which it ap- plied amnesty. The electofal committee has drawn up a report declaring Blangui inelligible.

La France says-it is probable that the discussion of the educational bills, or the most important thereof, will be postponed until next session.

The coninitiee on the technical questions in the Canal Congress has adopted the Panama-Aspinwall route without locks.

Execution of a Murderess.

Catherine Churchill was recently ex- ecuted in jail at Taunton, Somersetshire. She had been convicted for the murder of her husband at Chard, at the spring assizes at Taunton. The executioner was Morweod, who came down from London on requisition of the Sheriff. The execution was conducted with even more than the usual degree of privacy ; no one was present save the officers of the jail, the chaplain and executioner ; no reporters were per-

mitted to enter, and the officers of the jail

feven refused to give any information res- pecting the execution of the press, save that the woman had been hung, and her body buried with quicklime within the precints of the prison. A large crowd of persons had assembledj in front of the prison. At the moment of the execution the black flag was displayed above the roof.

Japanese Affairs.

Japan news received at San Francisco by steamer under date of Yokohama, April 23, state that the Japanese Government has repudiated the scheme for a convention in London to alter the scale of customs instead of revising treaties, and arrangements are now in progress for a cemplete revision. No important results are hoped for, how- ever, Japan having betrayed a fear to con- front European States boldly by appending a conditional clause to the United States treaty. The Chinese Envoy in Japan has been recalled on account of mismanagement at Loochov. The subject of anew local ad- ministration at Loochoo as a Japanese pre- fecture was accepted without remonstrance by the people. The Imperial residences of various cities are undergoing preparation for oceupation by General Grant.
