NATIONAL CHORAL SOCIETY• JULY MEETING.-WEDNEBDAT. ..---. - The performances of this society at Easter-hall, 'wider 'he direction of Mr. G. W. Martin, were last night brought to a close for this (the sixth) season. The pieces performed were Handel's celebrated Ads and Goistes, and Loch's equally celebrated mode in Macbeth. Both were admirable, and eminently successful. /he hall was crowled,l and the audience were enthusiastic in their applause. Mr. Martin has brought his choir to a high degree of excellence. Its numerical strength is sufficiently great for any purpose to which it can be applied. The sopranos, especially, have been mart happily chosen, and their young, fresh voices produce a body of tone as sweet, mellow, and grateful to the ear as .ny musical sounds we have ever heard. This is a m►tter of the utmost import ant*, for the sweetness thus infused into the whole body at choral sound more than makes up for any deficiencies in the precision acquired by training. Not that such defi ciencies exist to any great extent, but still they do exist, and Mr. Martin has it in his power to arrive at a still higher degree of precision, and that musical chiar'oentro which results from minute gradations of sound. A formidable days ruing, comprising no less than ten races, commenced at a quarter to one, and concluded at a quarter ta eve. The weather was anything hut favourable to the full appro. ration of some good sport, as rain descended several times in drenelgog showers, dciv ing the equestrians and pedestrians to such shelter as the plantation afforded. Speculation was very heavy, and carried on with peat spirit, but the results were cidelly in favour of the bookmakers. The attendance was eroeediugiy good, most of the aristocratic supporters of the turf being present, and although the weather was so unfavour able several ladles on horseback were on the mune, and braved the heavy rain with a fortitude that shows bow the ueakiir sex appreciate the sport. The following were the results of the MATCH: 100 son. h tt. Last half mile of New T.Y.C.

MIDDLE CLASS EDUCATION. A meeting of the committee appointed some time since to consider the subject of middle-dam education for the City of London, met yesterday at the Mansion-house, to receive the report of the sub-committee, which we published a day or two ago. THE SCULLERS' RACE BETWEEN THE ENGLISH AND AMERICAN CHAMPIONS. Alderman Reis , chairman of the committee, took the chair. At the opening of the meeting, letters explaining non attendance were read from the Bishop of London, Lord Lyttelton, and Mr. Baring, M.P. Mr. Tar, M.P., in moving the adoption of the report, said the committee had under consideration a clergyman of the church of England for head muter ; he was a most liberal and religious man, and would urry out the inten tions of the promoters without importing into the scheme anything o f which they would disapprove. Hearing that the Charterhouse was to be moved into the country, and the building sold, the committee tried, but unsuccessfully, to secure it for the central school. Mr. Alderman SALOMONS, M.P., seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. Mr. S. MORLEY said the object of those who started this project was, while in no senile disregarding the importance of religion, moat strictly to allow perfect liberty of con science. The Bishop of London for the time being had been appointed visitor of the corporation. If there could be a guarantee that the present bishop would live for ever, there would be no fear of interference, but u that WAS im possible, he wished the following resolution to be put on reword :—" That this meeting records its conviction that it is the intention of the originators of the miedle claim schools that in all arrangements the rights of conscience and liberty of opinion should be carefully maintained and preserved. ,, _ . Mr. GASSIIIi, in seconding this motion, pointed out the immense advantages to be derived from these schools by men with families in the position of clerks. He men tioned that in ten large establishments with 2,180 clerks, only 162 received 300/. a year and upwards. He expressed the hope that eventually middle class schools would be established all over London, Other resolutions were passed chiefly of • routine cha racter, relating to future management. A cordial vote of thanks was given to the Rev. W. Rogers, who was said to have been the originator of the scheme, and one of its chief supporters. Thanks were also voted to the chairman. The following names appear in the subscription lists as subscribers of I,oooi. each :—Baring Brothers T. Braaaey, Byass and Son, the Corporation of the City of London, F. W. Coeens and Co., Coutta and Co., W. Ellis, C. and H. Freshfield, Frith, Sands, and Co., Fruhling and Gcxchen, S. Gibbs and Sous, Glyn, Mills, Currie, and Co., C. J. Hambro and Sons, F.

There were also 13 submip tions of 500/. each, and 35 of 100 guineas. RAILWAY ACCIDENT. —On Monday morning a serious accident occurred to the Cambridge portion of the train which left King's-cross at 9.30. The rails are in a very bad condition on the branch line which leads from Hitcbin to Cambridge, and the late heavy rains contri buted in all probability further to weaken their supports. The train was a small one, consisting of three passenger carriages and a break van, in which a number of railway workmen were being con veyed. The engine and tender were in one. The precise circumstances of the occurrence, there is little chanoe of fully knowing excepting by inference, since both engine. driver and stoker were killed on the spot. The break van was overturned on the line, and the poor workmen, some of them severely injured, and all terribly bruised and shaken, bad to be lifted out through the open side which happened to lie uppermost. It was probably to the over turning of the break van, together with the vigorous appli cation of the break in the last carriage by the guard, that the passengers owed their safety, since all the carriages were off the rails, and must in another second or two have been thrown down into the field below had not the engine broken as it did completely away. It is said to have made what seemed like a desperate upward leap, throwing up an immense cloud of dust, but when the train finally stopped the engine was seen standing in the field, and turned completely round, though still upright, at a consi derable distance behind. It was at about two miles this side of the Royston station that the accident occurred, and to that place the passengers walked in order to find the means of continuing their journey. Some ladies and gentlemen of the neighbourhood who happened to be riding near rendered material service to the sufferers, but it was some time before all the needed assistance could be pro- cured. Even a telegram could not be sent until the pas sengers reached Cambridge, the wires being all down. The rails, which had been frightfully torn up, were restored by the evening, though the engine was still to be seen stand ing in the field. REFORM DEMONSTRATION AT BIRMINGHAM. BIRMINGHANI, WEDNESDAY NIGHT.— A great open air meeting of the working men of this town was held this evening for the purpose of protesting against handing over the government of the country to the tories. The meeting was held in a large open space at the rear of the Town-hall. and there could not have been less than 10,000 persons present. These were all well dressed and well-behaved members of the artisan class ; the speeches delivered were temperate in their tone, and the sentiments enunciated were en thusiastically received. The following resolution was enthusiastically carried :—" We, the working men of Bir mingham, in public meeting assembled, desire to express our indignation at the base and treacherous manner in which the people of England have been betrayed, first by the ungenerous obstruction of the tories, and secondly by the treacherous desertion of their cause by the Adulls. mites; and hereby express regret that her Majesty did not dissolve the present unworthy parliament, and appeal to her people whether they require reform or not." The meeting was well ordered to the close. WESTMINSTER LIBERAL REGISTRATION SOCIETY. —An adjourned general meeting of this society was held at Caldwell's Rooms, Dean-street, Sobo, last evening, in order to take measures to extend the operations of the society. Mr. W. line occupied the chair. Dr. Brewer addressed the meeting on the necessity of union amongst reformers. Mr. J. Prout moved a resolution declaring the objects of the society, which were to promote the ascendancy of liberal political principles in Westminster, to exercise a supervision of the parliamentary register, to recommend candidates to the constituency, and to assist in re turning liberal members to serve in parliament. Major Lynn seconded, and urged on the meeting the necessity of organisation and attention to the registration. By these nieans'they would obtain such a majority for the liberal candidates that no tory would venture to solicit their suffrages. Mr. Beale enforced the necessity of paying more attention to the registration. The conservatives were doing this, and hoped thereby, and by the supineness of the liberals, to bring in a conservative candidate at the next election. The resolution was agreed to, as were others, that a general committee should be appointed by the different parishes in the proportion of one to ever) , 150 electors, and that a chairman, a vice-chairman, a paid secretary, and other officers, be elected annually. ROYAL BOTANIC SOCIETY OF LONDON.—Yester day this society brought their series of floral fetes to a close for this season by holding the third grand show in their pleasant and well-arranged gardens, which are now in particularly good condition. The exhibition was visited by a crowd of fashionable persons, and the bands of the Ist and 2nd Life Guards were in attendance. The show was pretty, and if not quite so attractive as the spring fetes, was interesting notwithstanding. The fuschias, pelargoniums, (orchids, and roses vied with each other for pre-eminence, and arranged in the large marquee on grassy mounds, were well set off by the more sober tinted Cape heaths, and collections of stove and green house plants, which contained many fine specimens. The cultivation of garden geraniums, of which there were many very fine specimens, has been brought to a very high pitch. The collection of variegated or horseshoe varieties was a numerous one. The fruit exhibited was in excellent condition, and abundant. ROYAL COLLEGE OF SPRGEONS. The annual election of Fellows into the Council of the College takes place this day, and is exciting considerable attention amongst the members of the profession. The retiring coun cillors are Messrs. James Luke and John Hilton, the latter gentleman being one of the vice-presidents of the college; they are opposed by Mr. Erasmus Wilson and Mr. Charles Hawkins—the latter gentleman is one of the Government Inspectors of Anatomy. Fellows from distant provincial towns have already arrived in London to take part in the proceedings. ST. MARY'S HOSPITAL.—At a special meeting of the board of governors of the above institution, on the 3rd inst., Earl Manvers in the chair, Mr. H. Haynes Walton, F.R.C.S., was unanimously elected one of the senior sur geons of the hospital, in the vacancy occasioned by the decease of Mr. Alexander Ure. The friends of this charity will be glad to learn that the new wing, the foundation stone of which was laid in the spring of last year by H.R.H. the Prince of Wales, is rapidly progressing, and will be opened in October next. LOCAL Ar"rs OF PARLIAMENT.—The number of local acts passed in the session up to the present time is 162, out of 636 petitions lodged at the Private Bill-office. The antagonisms of scullery of this country and those of other land. has ever been regarded with much interest in a national point of view. On the 16th of June, 1863, Richard Augustus Willoughby Green, the Austra lian, essayed his prowess over the English metropolitan aquatic course against Robert Chambers, of Newcastle-on- Tyne, and was defeated, and the latter in his turn suc cumbed to Henry Kelley last year, who consequently be came champion of the Thames. At the close of last season a new candidate, one from the far west, was put in nomination to dispute the aquatic superiority with Kelley, in the person ofJames Hammill,of Pitteburgh,Pennsylvama, champion of America, and after some correspondence two matches were agreed upon between them, the first being fixed for yesterday, from the High-level Bridge en the Tyne to Leamington point, for Z.O/. 'aide, and the second for the following day, half the course out, with a turn, for the same amount of money. The first of these was duly contested yesterday morning, but a more hollow affair it would be dimcult to conceive. do strongly had the men been at variance respecting the time at which the race should come off, owing to an omission in the articles, that it was at one time thought doubtful whether there would bee race at all, but the presence of the backers and friends on Tuesday evening at a meeting at the Newcattk Daily Climnicle office resulted in the agreement that yesterday's race should be rowed at 7.30 a.m. and to-day's at 8.30, and at the stipulated time both were at their places. Hammill appeared to be, as repreierted during his recent sojourn for training purposes in the north, very strong and thickset, with great muscular power ; he is 5 feet 7 inches in height, weighs 11 stone 2 lbs., and is 27 years of age. Henry Kelley is 5 feet 9 inches, weighs 10 stone 7 lbs., and is 36 years of age. Kelley had for the last few days trained at the Dun Cow, Dunston, under Drewitt, and rowed in • very fine boat, by Jewett of that place. Hammill trained at Mr. Brown's,Blenheim-house,with John Hammill and James Laughlin, accompanied by a few Americana. Betting was 6 to 4 on Kelley. Both men looked very confident as they sat in their boats ready for the start in the presence of such a multitude as has rarely been seen at a boat race. The start took place at 7.50, and Kelley immediately led by half-a-length, but so rapidly did the American ply his sculls that he became level at Davidson's mill. Kelley went away again almost immedi ately and became clear at the Skinner-burn. The di ff erence in the respective styles of rowing was very marked and peculiar. Kelley was rowing the long steady pull of 38 or 40 strokes per minute—highly effective by his finished superiority of action ; while his opponent, who used shorter sculls in board, not over-lapping asKelley'a did, was taking short, sharp, round, and rapid strokes to the number, it is said, at one time of nearly sixty per minute. The lasting style of the Londoner was unmistakeably manifest, and aithough the American exerted all his energies the fortune of the day was against him. At the end of • mile Kelley was eight lengths ahead, at the Meadows-house he had increased the lead to twenty lengths, at half the way to 300 yards, and he won by more than • quarter of a mile. Colonel Hawke, was referee. DEVoNPORT ELEcrioar.—The General Committee of Elections, consisting of the Right Hon. S. Walpole, Mr. Leveson Gower, Mr. Whitbread Mr. Clay, Mr. Ward Hunt, and Mr. Corry, met yesterd ay afternoon for the purpose of appointing a select committee to inquire into the Devonport election petition against the return of Mr. M. Chambers and Lord Eliot. The following were ap pointed as the select committee :—Lord John Browne (chairman), the Hon. F. Calthorpe Lord Henry Lennox, Sir Henry Rawlineon, and Mr. Charles Schreiber. THE PROPOSED REFORM MEETING IN THE CITY. —A deputation from the Working Men's Association, con sisting of Mr. G. Potter, Mr. Brookes, and Mr. Hartwell, yesterday waited upon the Lord Mayor, for the purpose of asking hug consent to allow the use of the Guildhall for a public meeting of the working men of the City to ex press their opinions upon the subject of reform. Mr. Potter, who was the spokesman, said that it was desired to have an opportunity to hold the meeting in the even ing, and the idea that was originally entertained to hold the meeting in the Guildhall-yard or in front of the Royal Ex change had been abandoned. The Lord Mayor said that the matter would require some consideration as, in the first place, he did not know whether he had the power to grant the application. He would consider the matter, but, at the same time, he could not help expressing his satisfac tion that the idea of holding the meeting in front of the Royal Exchange had been abandoned. LONDON SOCIETY or Comroarrons.—A general meeting of the compositors of London and its vicinity was held in St. Martin's Hall last evening, to take into conside ration a report of a special committee appointed to confer with the employers in reference to the rate of wages. Mr. C. T. Henley filled the chair. Mr. Self, the secretary, read the report, which was of an elaborate character, and in which the following propositions were put forward :—" 1. That a rise of id. per 1,000 on all descriptions of work (exclusive of newspapers), and of id. per 1,000 on reprints, be paid. [The following to be the definition of reprints : works reprinted, free from alterations or interlinea tions, save a remodelling of punctuation or or thography, which shall be done, if at all, be fore giving out of copy to compositor.l 2. That the minimum rate for establishment hands shall be 33e. per week of not more than 5S hours. 3. That over time be paid for at the rate of 3d. extra per hour after 8 o'clock in the evening, till 8 o'clock in the morning ; but that no charge be ma of less than Is. extra between the hours of 10 p.m. and 6 Lin. 4. That Sunday-work be paid for at the rate of 6d. per hour extra, but that in no case shall the compositor receive less than 23. lid. extra. 5. That no deduction he made for pieced leads in measures of less than 26 C7llB wide. 6. That id. per 1,000 extra be paid on all founts for every en below 12 erns of their own bodies in thickness. 7. That correc tions be paid for at the rate of Val. per hour." A committee of the masters refused to accede to the first and last propositions, and expressed their willingness to adopt the others, with certain modifications' suggested by them. Mr. Lee moved a resolution in favour of the ac ceptance and confirmation of propositions 2,3, 4,5, and 6, as modified. Mr. Sharp moved an amendment to the effect, that the meeting being of opinion that the me morial to the masters was based on equity and justice, de clined to accept the modifications proposed, and expressed its determination to uphold the memorial in its entirety. The amendment was carried by a large majority. Mr. White moved that the report of the special committee with the masters' propositions be circulated among the trade, and a ballot taken thereon. The motion was carried. ANNIVERSARY OF AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE.— The " fourth of July" was signalised in Liverpool yes terday by a fine display of flags from the truck to stem and taffrail on board the American ships in port. The fleet of the Cunard, Inman, and Montreal and Quebec, and Na tional Steam Companies also joined in similar demonstra tions. The office of Mr. Dudley, the l'nited States con sul, was gay with bunting, both English and American, and the leading American merchants also bad their offices decorated. The 84th anniversary of American indepen dence was celebrated in the evening by CI banquet at the Washington hotel, which was attended by the principal Americans at present in Liverpool. RAILWAY RILLS BEFORE PARLIAMENT.—Yester day, in House of Lords committees (before Lord Redesdale) the Upavon and Andover Railway was thrown out, and the following were adjourned:—The Lynn and Sutton Bridge, Spalding and Bourne, and Norwich and Spalding Railway Companies; the East London Eastern Extension Railway; and the Llantrissant and Taff Vale Junction Railway. In the Painted Chamber the opposition to the Cheshire Lines Bill was withdrawn; and the Mold and Denbigh Junction Railway (Branches, 5:c.). the Chester and West Cheshire Junction Railway, and the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway (Central Station and Lines), Bills were adjourned. In the House of Commons yesterday, in Group 20, the bill of the Ryde Station and Railway undertaking was further proceeded with, and adjourned. The Dublin merchants, members of the local Chamber of Commerce, adopted a report on Tuesday de claring it necessary to make a united effort fur a calm inquiry by competent authority into " the laws which regulate the finances of the kingdom." The great body of the trading public, the victims of panic resulting from no mercantile improvidence, are (they say) entitled to "claim a careful reconsideration of a system of legislation, which, however applicable to the period of its inception, may be found unsuited to the increased and increasing commerce of the present day." They also object to the proposal to change the Irish bankruptcy law in agreement with the bill lately introduced to alter the English practice and pro cedure. They contend that the hill Act has in the main worked well, and that it " would be injudicious to court any mere experiment on mercantile interests." Thirteen persons have been poisoned at New tonards, near Belfast, by eating unwholesome veal, and two have died. The stomachs of the latter will undergo chemical analysis, and in the meantime the coroner's inquest stands adjourned. Five families have been affected in all.

Lord Clarence Paget, C. 8.), and the iron-clad ships Royal Oak, 35, and Resistance, 16, left Malta harbour on Mon. day morning for Pates, and are expected to be away for the greater part of, if not all, the rummer. Communica tion with the admiral will be maintained by the gunboats Assurance and Wisexd, now in port. The Wizard will leave with a mail for Patras, after the ar rival of the Marseilles mail due on the 30th in stant. Previous to his departure for Greece his lordship look a ran over to Sicily in the Psyche, for the purpose, it Ir reported, of consulting with Captain Shortland on the navigation of the Adriatic, the charts at present in use being very defective. The admiral called in at Syracuse and Catania, but did not display his flag, or personally land at those places, not wishing to give rise to any erro neous impressions. The King of Italy's proclamation declaring war against Austria was posted on all the walls of the town. The rews did not, however, seem to cause that excitement which so important an event might have been expected to call forth. On returning to Malta, the Commander-in-Chief, without loss of time, despatched the Psyche to communi cate with the Italian Admiral Perasno, who holds a high reputation for courage and humanity, to request his good offices regarding British life and property in his opera tions in the Adriatic, and steps, we understand, were also taken to insure a British ve,sel being present during any such operations. It is reported that the screw cor vette Enterprise, Commander Rowley, which was at Corfu by the last accounts, has been told off for this important and delicate mission. Her Majesty's screw frigate Are thusa, 35, Captain Macdonald, will leave ?delta for Athens on the Ist July, to relieve the Gibraltar, 81, Captain R. Coote, and order her to Malta. The Arethusa will take a mail for Greece." SYMPATHY WITH ITALY--On Tuesday night a meeting of " members of committee, delegates appointed by workshops and districts, and &hers friendly to the Italian cause, wbo stood prepared two years ago, in unison with the Lord Provost's committee, to welcome General Garibaldi," was held in the Bell Hotel, Glasgow, "to vote on some money in hand, and how beet to express sympathy for the brave Italians nowleontending against Papal and Austrian tyranny." Mr. James Moir was called to the chair, and said he sincerely wished success to the Italian cause, and wished to see them a free people in possession of Rome, the capital of their own country. Mr. John M'Adam then read two letters which had been re ceived from M. Mazzini, the first addressed to the chair man of the working men's committee, and the second to himself. In the former of these M. Mazzini says—" Your action is timely. Now more than ever, after an unfavour able incident in our emancipation war, sympathy, encour agement, and help from a great, free, self-denying nation will strengthen our people in the determination of con quering through purely national forces, and avoiding any premeditated interference equally dangerous for Italy and for Europe ; and now more than ever, on the eve of a tory cabinet assuming the ruling !of the country, an expression of public opinion, declaring that Great Britain will never allow the men who undertake to represent her to side by the oppressor against a people fighting for independence and right, will prove supremely important." In the other N. Mazzini says :—" You must not expect the usual amount of activity from a poor exhausted man, who is visited almost every day by cramps,and has with Italy work enough to wear out two young, robust, healthy men. The fret failure is the fault of La Marniora and the King—both soldiers and generals have behaved admirably. We shall go on and end by conquering, My only terror is of French interference, which would be degrading, and endeavouring to snatch Sardinia from us, and promote &federative system instead of union. It is important that true friends should tell ns in their speeches, We shall help you as far as we can if you fight your own battles alone.' Of course any help ought to go to Garibaldi alone and the volunteers. They are forsaken by the government, and helped mainly by committees and the people. There is here an Italian committee. HOE, my colleague in the Roman triumvirate, is a member, with whom you ought to put yourselves in contact through me, if possible, in the first instance. We have been sending already money for rifles, red flannel shirts, and the wounded. Garibaldi is preparing, but he can scarcely act before the army is ready again, which requires a few days." Mr. bl'Ailain said they were not expected to provide either money or arms, but the small amount of money on hand, be thought, should be disposed of to the beat advantage. Mr. John Weidman moved :—" That this meeting of the Glasgow friends of Italy approves of the present action of the Italian people seizing this opportunity of employing an honourable means to obtain national unity, and to free themselves from Papal and Austrian supre macy. That a committee be appointed, with power to ado to their number, to co-operate with the friends of continental freedom in London and other places, to give renewed expression to our sympathies for General Gari baldi in his peculiar circumstances, and to prepare medical aid to his sick and wounded volunteers. That while we express our regret at the great loss sustained by the Italian people in this crisis through the resignation of Kin Russell, the Right Hon. W. Gladstone, and other friends of European liberty in our government, we feel confident that no succeedingadministration willattempt to implicate our country in any wars with which we have nothing in connexion, unless in our sympathy for the suffering temple. and our admiration for the brave men contending for civil and religious liberty." The resolutions were unanimously agreed to. FIRE AT WHITECHAPRL.—At an early hour last evening a fire broke out on the premises of Messrs. Hall, Day, and Co., wholesale drapers, situate on the north side of Whitechapel, opposite the London Hospital. The establishment comprised eight houses—three in the main road, Nos. 106, 107, and 108, and Nos. I, 2,3, 4, and 5 in Thomas-street ; the whole of the lower floors being thrown into one, forming a show room of 160 feet in depth. Upwards of 60 young women were on the premises at the time, the shops were full of customers, when an alarm was raised in the street that smoke was coming up the grating from the cellars beneath the shop. These, it ap pears, were filled with boxes and old lumber ; there were no lights permitted to be taken into the place, and of how the tire could have originated there the firm have no knowledge whatever. Immediate efforts were adopted to get at the seat of danger, but the smoke increased so rapidly that all the people in the shops were forced to make a speedy retreat into the street. Soon afterwards the flames broke through the flooring, fired the show-room from end to end, and on account of the character of the stock and a brisk wind that was blowing at the tune, it was not long before the whole of the eight houses forming the premises were enve loped in flames. The steam force of the Metropolitan Fire Brigade were soon in attendance, and most of the engines having steam up, there was no delay in getting them into immediate play. Captain Shaw superintended the operations, and in about an hour the brigade suc ceeded in stopping the ravages of the fire. It had, how ever, nearly consumed the whole of the premises. The London Salvage Corps contrived to save a few hundred pounds worth of the stock at the early stage of the fire, but with this exception the stock was destroyed. None of the numerous emplosMs saved anything belonging to them except what they stood up in, all having lost their clothes, and what property they possessed. The total loss must be heavy. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT. —A MAN BOILED ALIVE. Yesterday (Wednesday) an accident occurred at Chester field of a peculiarly horrible nature, by which a respectable young man was hurried into eternity without a minute's notice. The deceased man, whose name was Robert Bon sai, was engaged at the Scarsdale Brewery, Chesterfield, and had the care of the boiling beer in the vats. He was subject to fits, and it is supposed he was seized with one whilst sitting on the alp of the vat, and fell into the scalding fluid. No one saw him fall in, but be was found almost directly after he bad been missed in the vat. He was quite dead, the flesh being boiled off his bones, and his body presenting a shocking spectacle.

CHARTEEHoI - SE SCHOOL V. GENTLEMEN OF THE CIVIL SERVICE.- - Tie match was played yesterilay at the Charterhouse, and excited considerable interest. The day was unfavourable, and the game was frequently temporarily interrupted by the hem y showers, which rendered the ground somewhat heavy. The Civil Service took the first innings. and sent to the wickets Messrs. T. Galli and W. Chaplin, to the bowling of llessra. A. S. Marnmatt and Muir-Mackenzie. The former gentleman did not make a very long stand, however, being cleverly caught by Mr. Walker; and the latter was bowled by Mr. Mai:matt for ft. The only double figures gained were 11 by the Hon. E. P, Theaigcr, and 27 by Mr. G. W. Smyth, the innings finishing for a total of 67. tin the part of the Charterhouse, Messrs. Muir- Mackenzieand 11. Murray-Mackenzie commenced to the bowling Mes An. Patey and Morgan. Few runs, however. were obtained until Mr. R. W. Masan appeared, and he obtained 17 in every clever manner, and Mr. C. P. Scott followed suit with N. when he was well caught by the Hon. E. P. Thesiger, who officiated as wicket keeper. The fielding on the fart it the Civil Service was lot su opal, perhaps, as It might have been ; but allowance should be made for the heavy nature of the ground. The first innings of the Charterhouse closed for 90. The gentlemen of the Civil Ser vice went In for their second innings, but when the stumps were drawn, at 7 o'clock, they had only succeeded in getting 95 runs for the loss of six wickets, and consequently, this being only a one-day match. the tharterhnuse won on the first innings by 23 runs. The score stood as follows :—Civil Service, first tunings, 07 , second innings, six wickets down, 35. Charterhouse, first Innings, 90. SUICTDE OF A Brrrisa MAN.—Yesterday evening an inquiry was held at the Strand Union by Mr. St. Clair Bedford, relative to the suicide of Mr. John McSparren, Red 55 years. The deceased, it appeared, was a native of Killarney, and be came over to London some years ago in consequence of a quarrel with his family. After pursuing various avocations he became a bookmaker and betting man. He lived at 36, Arbour-square, Commercial-road, but on Sunday he took a bed at a coffee-house in Welling ton-street, Covent-garden. As he did not make bis ap pearance on Monday morning, Police-constable Thompson, 52 F, was called in, and that officer found him lying on the bed, partly dres sed, with a penknife, both blades of which were open, grasped in his right hand. He was quite dead, and a severe wound in the throat showed that be had committed suicide. Dr. Harvey said that the deceased had divided the jugular vein and other vessels, causing almost immediate death. Several witnesses deposed to various acts of eccentricity on the part of the deceased, but none could assign a cause for his suicide. He was pos sessed of considerable property, but was said to have lost largely on the turf recently, and it was also stated that he had been expelled not long since from a club. The jury returned a verdict of temporary insanity. .. 1 .. ab) ifitteilignue. EQUITY COURTS.—Jinx 4. (Before the Lords Justices.) MUTT V. JllOll2. This cue was now put in the paper in order that the order might be formally made. By an order of the Divorce Court the life-income given to the wife by settlement was ordered to be paid to the husband after the divorce, and the husband now applied for an order that the Accountant- General should pay the dividends on a sum of money in court to the husband. The wife bad been served but did not appear . The Master of the Rolls had refund to make the order. Mr. Langley in support of the application.

WOOD AND STANGER. Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., Mr. Serjeant Tindal Atkinson, and Dr. Spinks for the petitioner ; Mr. Serjeant O'Brien, Mr. Gar di, and Mr. Wills for the respondent ; the Queen's Advocate and Mr. Searle for the co-respondent. Mr. Henry Walter Wood, an architect and surveyor at Nottingham, sued for a divorce from his wife, Frances Mary Wood, on account of her adultery with Mr. George Raton Stanger, a medical man, and deacon of an indepen dent congregation in the same town ; from whom he claimed 5,000 i. as damages. The respondents simply pleaded a denial. The parties were married in May, 1857, at which time the petitioner was about 30 years of age, and the respondent, then a Miss Crofts, the daughter of a lace manufacturer, was about 10 years younger. There were three children, and the parties lived very happily together, but not ever afterwards ; for soon after her first confinement the re-' spondent took to drinking, and there were disputes both as to the management of the children and a habit she had of going to the Roman catholic church, Mr. Wood beingt c m i self a unitarian. There was, however, no serious broach for many years ; but in 1863, Mrs. Wood being on a visit to her brother-in-law, Mr. Arthur Wood, who with his wife had • theatrical nt at Devonport, left a letter behind her which fe into her hue band's hands. It was signed " George," and was in the the co-respondent's handwriting. It was of • decidedly amatory character, but Mrs. Arthur Wood did not think fit to communicate it to the petitioner. The relations with the parties did not improve. Mr. Wood grew dis satisfied with the visits of Mr. Stanger, who was an inti mate friend of the family, and wan also its medical at tendant, and forbade him the house. Soon after this (in 1865) Mrs. Wood left her home, alleging that her husband's language was ?sinful to her, and at this juncture Mrs. A. Wood communicated tohim the letterreferred to. This led to his institution of the snit. The co-respondent, who is about 50 years of age, is a married man with a large family. Evidence of acts of some familiarity was given by the servant, of the petitioner and by the sextons of the General Cemetery at Nottingham. At the conclusion of the husband's case the court ad journed. MIDDLESEX SESSION& (Before Mr. Payne.) John Dixon, 49, a determined-looking fellow, described as a carpenter, was indicted for stealing two saws and other articles, the property of Charles Gregory. Mr. R. Cornet' Grain prosecuted ; Mr. Richard Harris defended the prisoner. This was an extraordinary ease, as will be seen by the details. The facts as regard the indictment laid against the pri soner were short and simple. The prisoner was seen coming out of • workshop, in Shadwell-road, by a man named Henry Martin, and thinking his manner suspicious, he went into the workshop and found two saws and some planes tied up ready to be taken away. The prisoner then started, and ran away. The prosecutor identified the property, and said it was quite safe in the workshop some short time before. John Thompson, 307 If, hearing a cry of " Stop Thief," and seeing the prisoner running, stopped him, and he was given into custody. Mr. Richard Harris addressed the court with ability for the prisoner. Mr. Payne summed up the evidence, and the jury found the prisoner Guilty. Mr. Hodgkinson (the clerk) then read another indict ment charging the prisoner with having beet previously convicted, to wh;ch he pleaded guilty. Mr. George Lockyer, late sessions warder of the House of Correction, said he had known the prisoner for a great number of years. He was tried in January, 1848, in the name of Thomas James, for stealing tools, and sentenced to three months. He was tried in 1851, in the name of John Smith, and sentenced to nine months' imprisonment. He was again tried at the Middlesex Sessions in 1854 and sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment, and whilst he was serving that term of imprisonment his conduct was so bad in prison that he was taken before the magistrates and by their order flogged. lie was again tried in this court on the 10th De cember, 1855, and sentenced to four years' penal servitude, and when he came out on a ticket-of-leave he was again taken into custody and sentenced to one month's im prisonment for being at a place with intent to steal. Soon after that he (Lockyer) happened to be at the Old Bailey, and seeing the prisoner talking to a barrister's clerk, he inquired what he was doing, and learnt that he was a prosecutor in a case of an attempted garotte rob bery. When the case came on the prisoner got into the box and gave a false name, and charged two respectable men with having attempted to garotte him and his friend. Mr. Ribton, who appeared for the prisoners, cross-exa mined him, and he admitted that his right name was James, and that he had been several times convicted. His brother then came up, and swore that he was his friend, and that they were respectable people, and, as they were passing quietly along, the two men in the dock came up and knocked Lim down. He was cross examined by Mr. Ribton, and admitted that he was an old thief, and had been several times in prison, and went by the name of " Humby." At this stage of the case the learned counsel who appeared on that occasion to prosecute the two men threw up his brief, and the pri soners were immediately discharged. It was believed by everyone in court that the prisoner and his brother had first attacked these two young men, who were respectable carpenters, but finding they were too strong for them they invented this charge to protect themselves, and in the most barefaced manner gave them into custody. This happened at the time the garotte robberies were of such frequent occurrence. Soon after this the prisoner was tried at the Old Bailey for committing a burglary and stealing tools. The Recorder, before whom he was tried, sentenced him to seven years' penal servitude, but finding that the former convictions had not been put in the indictment, regretted that he should have to reduce the sentence to two years' hard labour, which he did. It was in consequence of that that instructions were given to the prison officers to visit other prisons, so that justice might be done. The prisoner was an idle, lazy fellow, both in and out of prison. The Prisoner—l Dope, my lord, you will give me another chance. The Deputy Assistant Judge—Oh, no. As long as I see a chance of combining the reformation of the prisoner with public justice 1 endeavour to deal as mercifully as I can with people who come before me ; but when I find such a person as you, I think it my duty to relieve the public of your presence for a long time. You bear a very bad character, you have bad all sortsof imprisonments,and four years' penal servitude, and are a lazy, idle fellow. The sentence of the court Upon you is,that you be kept in penal servitude for ten years. THE POLICE COURTS. MARYLEBONE. Police-constable Nathaniel Francis, 189 S, was charged on a summons with unlawfully assaulting Charles Such. This case has arisen out of one already fully reported, wherein a constable, named Nesbit, was sentenced to two months' hard labour for assaulting the present complainant. The man Nesbit and another constable, named Jones, were included in the above indictment; but since the summonses were issued Jones has decamped, and conse quently Francis wax the only man left to answer the pre sent charge. Mr. Bury Hutchinson, solicitor, appeared for the de fendant. The evidence given in support of the summons went to show that on the morning of Sunday, the 10th June, at ten minutes past 12 o'clock, the complainant, who had just come out of the beer-house, the Prince of Wales, William street, Hampatelul-road t met the defendant, who was not then in uniform. The defendant pushed him rudely on one side, and on complainant asking him why he had done so the defendant struck him in the mouth and knocked him down. . On the other hand several witnesses were called, who proved that defendant had not assaulted the complainant in any way whatever. Mr. Mansfield discharged the summons. Inspector Nicks, of the S division, who attended to watch the case on behalf of the Commissioners of Police, addressed the bench with reference to certain remarks the magistrate had made on a former °cession, and where ho imputed blame to the Commissioners of Police for retaining Nesbit, Jones, and Francis in their service after the remarks be had passed on them on the pre vious examination, which took place on the 27th ultimo. The inspector said the commissioners were entirely blame less, fur in the first place the magistrate had not marked on the charge-sheet any complaint he had to make against any of the constables ; secondly, when Such complained at Scotland-yard of the treatment he had received he was immediately requested by the commissioners to take the case before a magistrate, and that the constables should attend to answer the charge, and that Such delayed for nearly a fortnight applying for the summonses ,• and that, lastly, if the summonses had been promptly applied for the men would there and then have appeared, and not have troubled the bench any further in the matter. Mr. Mansfield said that in the case brought before him that day there was almost a balance of testimony ; but the weight of evidence was in favour of defendant, who had brought independent witnesses who proved that he could not have committed the await imputed to him. THANES. George Ligon, formerly& waterman and latterly einky in the conveyance of paupers from England to was brought before Mr. Paget en remand, charged ~71 going on board • ekes-vessel at the South Devoe sk i d near St. Katharine's wharf, before she was properly and without the consent of the captain and cakes. was also charged with assaulting George Benno, is insror of the Thames Police, in the emeetist;el du . Collingwood, •steamer trading between le e k and North Shield., was coming into the South D e* wharf on Monday last, when the prisoner case s board before she was moored, and annoyed and Ingo* the passengers with his importunities. Captain lean e; Green, the master, y ordered him to lea s * 4 ship, which he ref to do and he put the antis** the master and Mr. Robert Davidson, the second dim * defiance. Inspector Bennett, who was on board wit{ warrant and looking out for another person took the soner into custody. He was removing him from the when the prisoner threw him with great viols:me free bulwarks to the deck. The bulwarks are four feet het The inspector was much hurt. The prisoner then Ns ducted himself with so much violence that it w as i s m necessary to put him in irons. The cam was fully made out against the prisoner, 4, endeavoured to make it appear that he went on board the Collizigwood on legitimate business, but the nights* said, to prevent disorder, confusion, and robberies on teed ships on their arrival in port, it was very wisely emeisi that no person should be permitted to go on board s e vessel without the consent of the captain and officers sad the vessel was safely moored, and even then the autheeity of the master and officers did not meas. The tweeter believed the object of the prisoner I going on board the Collingwood was robbery, and Rothe, the gaoler of the court, said the pawner was convicted years ago for stealing speller and sentenced to six mantis imprisonment and hard labour, and that linos then be be been engaged in removing Irish paupers from London* Ireland, and left one party at Dublin instead of Cork, for which he was sentenced to three months' impriaonmst and bard labour on the other aide of St. George s Channel The prisoner had brought disgrace on the administrates 1 of the poor laws by his hese conduct Mr. Paget said that some inquiry ought to be made rt. spatting the matter spoken to by Roche, and hew such s man as the prisoner came to be employed in the removal ef paupers from Roland to Ireland. The disclosure br come upon him surprise. Re should convict the pi. sorer for the salsa on the inspector, which was dm* made out, and sentence him to be imprisoned fee the months and kept to hard labour. ROBERTSON v. ROBERTSON AND SOTHERN.
