I 1 ,~ 1111 PERLiL PARLIAMENT. IN the HOTTRZ of Loins, the Earl of Ta.wais viLts brought up her Majesty's reply to the ad dress of their lordships on the attempt to assassi nate his Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh. The Earl of IrlAr.vcssou appealed to Lyveden, who had a notice on the paper respecting the recal of Governor Darling, the governor of Victoria, to defer his motion for a day or two, in consequence of the vote come to in the House of Commons on Thursday evening. Lord LTVEDLN consented to postpone the mo tion until Friday. The Earl of Lionrim.o, in postponing the se cond reading of the Friendly Societies Bill, said he wished to remove a misapprehension entertained by some petitioners against the bill, that it inter fered with their right to insure the lives of their children. It did not do that, but one of the c l aus es prevented strangers from insuring the lives of children under seven years of age. He had no objection to refer the bill to a select committee on the understanding that the inquiry was restricted to the clauses of the bill. He intended on a future occasion to move for a commission to inquire into the whole subject of insurances of this character by friendly societies and public companies. On the motion of the Earl of hlatsirserar the select committee on the Compulsory Church Rates Abolition Bill was nominated. The Oyster and Mussel Fisheries Bill and the Local Government Supplemental Bill were read a third time and plumed. Several other bills were advanced a stage, and the house adjourned at 6 o'clock.

METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORE S.—The usual meeting of the Metropolitan Board of Works was held yesterday at the office in Spring-gardens ; Sir John Tbwaites in the chair. The board-room was not opened until an hour and a half after the usual time, the mem bers of it being in committee considering the tender for contract No. 3 of the Thames northeru embankment. On the public being admitted, the Chairnian said the works on the southern embankment, from Westminster bridge to Lambeth Palace, were in such a condition as to be ready to be opened, and it was the intention of the committee that the barriers should to-day be thrown down, and the public be admitted—there was • hoarding the whole length. which would sufficiently protect the entire area, and that portion of the buildings for the St. Thomas's Hospital—but that on the 13th of May, when it was the intention of the Queen to lay tie first stone of the !hospital, the barriers should again be nut up, so as to avoid on that otcasion any pos sible inconvenience. The board was working most har moniously with the hospital anthorities, but still it bad al duty to discharge to the public to open the roadway as coon as possible. He had had a conversation with Mr. Tite, anal he was very anxious that the footpath should not be opened on the day of the Queen's visit. Mr. Bid good regretted that it was the intention of the board to open the footpath before the 13th of May, as they had had enough of the violence of the people on some public occasions. He moved that the footpath of the southern embankment be not opened till after the 13th of May. Lieutenant-Colonel Hogg, M.P., seconded the motion. Mr. Westerton moved as an amendment that the roadway be opened to-day, and that the barriers be re-erected on the 13th of May. Mr. Howe seconded the amendment. After a discusaion the amendment was declared to be carried, and there fore the footway will be opened to-day. On the business paper was the following notice, " To fur ther consider report of the Works and General Purposes Committee with reference to the proposal of the Metropo litan District Railway Company as to the construction of a solid embankment between the Temple and itlackfriars bridge ; to receive reply of the company to the proposition made by the board on Friday last, and to pass such orders on the subject as may be deemed advisable." It was stated that the board still adhered to the terms they hod pro posed, but deferred their final determination until Friday next, to enable the Railway Company to complete their arrangements. A report was brought up from the Fire Brigade Committee, the substance of which was the terms of au arrangement with the directors of the Cryatal Palace Company for the establishment of • fire station at the Palace, but as they were not considered by the board as sufficiently explicit, on the motion of Mi. Newton, the report was referred back to the committee for further eon kideastion. The board then adjourned. THE COLLIERY' STRIKE IN SOUTH LANCASHIRE. FRIDAY.—The trial of the three young men charged with riot atWhelley on the 20th inst., wan brought to a close late last evening, in the Quarter Sessions Court s before the recorder, Mr. J. Cstterall. On the morning of the day named, the house of a knobetiok named Rowe, in Whelley, near the Lindsay pit, was attacked by en armed mob, who committed grievoua damage. The three prisoners were identified as haying taken part in the disturbance by several witnesses, and were found "Guilty," and sentenced to penal servitude for five years. Yesterday afternoon a demonstration was made at Rindley by the turn-outs, who paraded the streets, accompanied by a party of musician.. The military were sent for by Inspector Peters, and soldiers were forwarded from Plate-bridge. There was a conflict between the turn•outs and the special constables on duty in the neighbourhood, and two men were taken into custody. One was brought before the oounty magistrates at Wigan this morning, and remanded till Tuesday next on the charge of riot. For some days past Skelmeredele has been in an excited state, for from :".00 to 1,000 colliers, armed with heavy bludgeons, have patrolled the lanes at the hour when the colliers com mence work. These men are said to come from Wigan and St. Helens, and there is no doubt that they were success- ful in intimidating the knobsticks. Lord Skelmersdale's troop of the Lancashire Hussars were called out, and on Wednesday evening they were drawn up, in command of Sergeant-Major Nunnerly, in front of the Railway Hotel, where the magistrates were in consultation. The Yeomanry remained on duty all night, special constables were sworn in, and yesterday morning the men at Lord Skehnersdale's collieries and at the pita of the Crow, Orchard, and White Moss Coal Companies were able to mums work. A special and very numerously-attended meet ing of the Court of Common Council was held at the Guildhall yesterday afternoon for the purpose of agreeing to an address to be presented to her Majesty the Queen, exproesing the horror and indignation felt by the court at the recent attempt upon the life of Ina Royal Highness the Luke of Edinburgh, and congratulating her Majesty, with the most sincere and heartfelt feelings, upon his pro vidential Neaps from mortal injury. " I am much gratified in being able to testify to the eftlesey of your Vegetable Pain Killer. For the last twelve months I have suffered the greatest agony from neuralgia, which deprived me of all energy in the pursuit of my usual avocation. Accidentally meeting your agent, I procured a bottl e o f y our me di c i ne , f r om which I derived the great benefit and instantaneous relief ; and I have no hesitation in recommending it to all suffering from this 'disease of the day.'--Joain KELLY, Dublin, Oct. 21, 1867.

I was served on the 16th of January with a coop 7 of a writ dated the 3rd of January. On the 211th I mined a latter, stating that the directors would pay 151. for the damage, and on the 30th I received • letter from Mr. Ricketts, stating that that sum could not be accepted. On the 25th of February the direc tors filled up • cheque far 4111. 4s. 104. for the damage and the oosts and I bold the receipt . The cheque through our bankers in the usual course. On the passed March I received • letter from Mr. Ricketts on behalf of a man mimed Bray, the cabman. I instituted inquiry. The defendant said that the hone that I saw was the mum that was in • cab and injured in Southwark-street, and which had to be killed afterwards through the injuries sustained. Mr. Barker remanded the ease, and the &deadest was bound over in his own recogniunces in the sum of 401. to appear. GREENW ICH. Charles Arthur Maar-ell: of 29, London-street, Green wich, appeared to a summons under the Bsilee and Trus tees Act, charging him with fraudulently making away with certainarticleo of household furniture, assigned by him to Mr. John Bangbam, of 34, Southampton-buildings, Chancery lane, on advancement of a loan of 301. Mr. Maynard appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Besley for the defence. The evidence taken disclosed a rather singular state of circumstances. In November last the defendant applied to the prosecutor for a loan of 301. The prosecutor, thinking him young and under age, questioned him, when he stated to him that he was between 24 and 25 years of age, and was about being married. The prosecutor refused to advance him the money upon his own security, and the defendant then introduced a man, supposed to be his intended father-in-law, as joint security, an assignment being also executed by him upon certain articles of furniture which he bad at a house situate at 14, Amersham-grove, Amer sham-vale, New-crosa, Deptford. An inventory was taken of these goods, and signed by the defendant, upon which the money was advanced, the condition being that the money (after payment of execution of deed, &c.) was to be rep•id by equal monthly instalments of 31. The first monthly instalment was paid, but upon the second pay ment becoming due an extension of tune for a few days was granted. This payment was not made ; and on inqui ries being made subsequently it was ascertained that on the 25th of January of the present year (two days before the second instalment became due) the defendant obtained a loan of 91. se. upon certain of the articles duly Assigned to the prosecutor from Mr. King, an auctioneer at Dept ford, the defendant signing a conditional sereement, that if the goods were not redeemed by a given date they were to be sold by auction and forfeited. The goods were not redeemed, and they were sold accordingly, realising 91. Be. It was also proved that shortly prior to obtaining the loan of the prosecutor the goods, of which those sold formed a part, had been obtained of a furniture dealer at Deptford, 151. being only paid off an account of 421. odd by the defendant, who had removed from Deptford to Greenwich. Mr. Beaky crom-examined the prosecutor and witnesses, but their statements remained unoontradicted. He then took a technically legal objection to the present proceed ings under a criminal act of parliament, by producing the cepy of the baptismal certificate of the defendant, showing he was under age at the time of executing the assignment, and citing Addison upon " Contracts by Minors " in sup port of his objection. Mr. Maynard said the document produced was no legal evidence, and as a technical objection had been taken he should require strict proof of the fact, the defendant having, in that case, rendered himself liable to be pro ceeded against for obtaining money under false representa tions that he was of age at the time. Mr.. Maude raid there was a point reserved in the remarks of Mr. Maynard, and the summons was adjourned. IPROM LAST NIGHTS GAZETTS.

The concluding day's sport of the Mk Spetog Meeting was but of a poor character, more partimdarly ea the elikf sweat requited In a walk over. We regar to the Newmarket for which it was expected that The Rod and Bane Gown= light their battle o'er merlin ; but Mr Joseph Hawley's horse declined the contest, as he did, alao, the overnight match with N. Ronan at a di ff erence of 101 b. The forfeiture of Hermit to The Palmer, in their match across the get, also took from the prestige of the concluding day. The weather was exceedingly flue, but the attendance was short of the previous days. Old Vespuian showed in rare fora by wisinim a Handicap Plate over theAn,aster M lie, Firing weight away to all the me nners, excepting The Palmer,d very sadly. ton had no digi tally In disposing of Mercury in their match, and King Victor won a H radios)) Plate over the T.

Cyclamen was made a warm favourite for the Two-Veer Old Plate, but he would hardly have woe, had Madboy nut changed his lam , but in the last stride. Claymore, a stable-oompanton of the preMous whiner, landed the odds Wad on him for the All-aged Selling Bweepatakee over the T.Y.C. Considerable disappointment was evinced when it was gives oat that The Karl would walk over for the New market stakes, Blue flown, who it was sulticiated would anta pinke him. dividing the forfeit, while Redif I rue saved his stake. The match between Blue Gown and St. Konen was off by consent, and The Hermit having paid forfeit to The Palmer, the proceedings concluded with the match between Aduritola iuol Pun. the latter winning very easily the Admirers fifteenth succeeeive match.

The plaintiffs were peueringere in an excursion train which stopped at the My! elation. The carriage they occupied went beyond the platform, and after the mal e plaintiff had alighted be audeted his wife in getting est, bat in eoneeeuenee of the distance of the step from the ground she slipped, and injured herself. At the trial be/ore Mr. Justice Beating at Shrewsbury, the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, with substantial damages. Mr. Huddiesten, Q.C., and Mr. J. 0. °riffles now showed pause against a rills which had been obtained to enter a verdict for the defendant., or • nonsuit, or for new trial. They contended that there was no proof of negligence on the part of the defendaqta ; and that if there was the contributory neeligeboe Sy the plaintiffs exonerated the company from liability. Mr. J. Powell, Q.O , baviag been heard on the other able, Barons Pigott, Bramwell, and Martin were of opinion that the plaintiffs had failed to prove negligence by the company. The Lord Chief Baron, differing from his learned brethren, said a railway company was legally bound to supply reasonably sufficient aocorcunodation for tra vellers to alight, and it was entirely • question for the jury in this ease to say whether such accommodation had been provided. A railway company had no rightto expose a passenger to the choice of one of two alternatives—either to get out in s place of danger, or remain in the caning. and go beyond his destination. Here the carriage bad stopped beyond the station, where there was no ac commodation for a female to alight, and the jury, who bad beard the evidence on the point, had found that there was negligence on the part of the company. He therefore thought their verdict should not be disturbed, but as his learned brethren entertained a different opinion, the rule to enter a nonsuit would be made absolute. Rule absolute accordingly. Sittings at Nisi Prine.—(Before Baron Channel' and • Common Jury.) WICK HAM V. KERNOT. This was an action against an attorney for negliff a n n ot ao. Mr. Field, Q.C., Mr. Burnard, and Mr. W. G. appeared for the plaintiff • Mr. Huddleston, Q.C., and Mr. Inderwick for the defendant. The plaintiff kept the Salutation Tavern, in Tavistock street, Covent-garden, and in June, 1863, the defendant, a solicitor, whom he bad previously known, came to Lim and said two of his clients, Green and Stansby, estate agents and auctioneers in the Poultry, wanted a loan of 4001. upon the security of the lease of • house in Boyle street, Saville-row. Upon the defendant giving him an assurance that the security was sufficient, he advanced the money, receiving in return the lases and a mortgage, and four promissory notes for 100/. each, payable at six. twelve, eighteen, and twenty-four months, from the borrowers. The leans was for 21 years from I June, 1863, at a rent of 1401., and it was repro. seated that the house was sublet to different tenants at a total sum of 22 8 / 4 which, after deducting the rent and the usual outgoings, left a surplus of 601. a year. The interest upon the loan was to be at the rate of 74 per cent. Some of the bills were renewed ; 1001. of the prin cipal was repaid and a portion of the interest received, but ultimately Messrs. Green and Stansby failed, and the mortgage could not be realised, as the plaintiff hail been led to suppose. The defence was, that it was no part of the duty of the defendant, as solicitor, to act as surveyor and ascertain the value of the property ; that all he was called upon to do was to tee that the title was good, and the mortgage legally drawn up ; that the plaintiff was requested before he advanced the money, to look at the house, of the value of which he was as good a judge as the defendant; and that if he neglected to take that precaution, he ought to submit to the conse quences. It was further said that Messrs. Green and Stattsby were very respectable people, said believed by the defendant in 1863 to be in a perfectly solvent state ; end that the defendant told the plaintiff that he thought he might safely advance the money, but gave no undertaking that the security was adequate in point of amount. Baron Channel], in summing up, said the question was whether the defendant made a bargain with the plaintiff, not merely to ascertain the goodness of the title and the legality of the mortgage, but to investigate the security as to its sufficiency in value for the loan. The jury, after considering the matter for a few minutes in the box, said they found a verdict for the plaintiff— damages, 30b/. In reply to the learned judge, they said they believed the defendant undertook to see to the value of the security. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. MAY 1. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) PATTYNDEN (cLINK) r. PATTI:AMEN AND HEILZVELD. Mr. Staveley Hill, Q.C., and Mr. Searle for the peti tioner. . _ - The petitioner in this case was the Rev. G. K Pattenden, the head master of the grammar school at Boston. In 1844 his sister died at a school where an assistant govern ess, Miss 'Waldron, showed her great attention during her illness. In that year he became attached to this young lady, and eventually, in 1846, he married her. At that time be was 21, and his wife 20. Mr. Pattenden afterwards took holy orders and occupied situations in various schools till at last he obtained the principal ship of that at Boston. Ten children were the fruit of the marriage. Some years ago he had staying with him two pupils named Kent, with one of whom, as he grew up, Mrs. Pattenden contracted • remarkable intimacy. Mr. Pattenden remonstrated with her, but she satisfied him that her conversation with Kent was of • religious character. In 1858, however, Kent died of consumption, and on his death-bed he wrote a letter to the petitioner excusing himself for the great error he had committed in alienating the respondent's affections from him. After that the parties were reconciled, and matters went on till 1864, when two persons named Dann came to the school as teachers. It was alleged that the respondent had become undulyattaohed to one of them. In January, 1865, the co-respondent, -rho was commonly called Charles Louis George Hotach, but whose real name was George Herzfeld, came to the school as a teacher of drawing and modern languages. About this time one of the children named Gertrude, aged 16, was taken ill. Herzfeld professed to have some knowledge of medicine, and saw the child a good deal. A considerable Intimacy thus sprang up be tween them. Herzfeld began at last to develop a great deal of arrogance to the servants ; and in the November following the petitioner dismissed him. herufeld went away, and at last obtained a situation at the school of the Rev. J. Ingle, at Exeter, which he kept for some short time. After he left, a letter arrived on which Bd. postage had to be paid. Mr. Ingle, thinking it important, kept it for sometime, and being unable to find where HerrJeld was, be at last opened it. It proved to be • very warm ',LAI' from the respondent to Herzfeld. It was communicated to the petitioner, who separated himself from the re spondent, and began the suit. Mr. Hill stated that he had obtained an attachment against the respondent for circu lating a series of foul libels against her husband, but as she was in ill-health the writ had The respondent (who did not appear) had sent these docu ments to the Queen's Proctor, and the learned counsel pro fessed himself anxious on ate part of the petitioner for any inquiry that it might be thought desirable to institute in the public interest. In support of the petitioner's case servants were called who proved that they had noticed considerable inti macy between the respondents. While the child Gertrude was ill one of them had seen them lying on a bed together; but the respondent said they were only resting themselves. On another occasion, however, Mrs. Pattenden had gone to waist, as she said, the servants in their preparations for a public lunch that was to be given on the speech day ; but, instead of helping them, she bad spent a couple of hours with the co-respond ' ent in his bedroom. Letters of • penitent character, which had been received from the respondent by the petitioner, were eke put in. ' Sir J. Wilde said be was quite satisfied ; and added that the wife's letters seemed to show that she bad no sort of charge whatever to make . against her husband. There must, therefore, bee decree nuu, with costs. - THE POLICE COURT& Mr. Charles Cate, outnlbus .air cab proprietor, of Henry-street, Gray's-inn-road, was summoned before Mr. Barker to answer the following complaint : That you did unlawfully obtain of and from the Hop and Malt Fachanyi and Warehoese Company (Limited), by means of certain false and fraudulent pretences, the sum of 351., with intent to defraud, eortrary to the statute. Mr. Lewis appeared for the complainant, and Mr. Taylor for the defendant. _ MURDER BY A SOLDIER. A shocking occurrence took place at Horfield Barracks, near Bristol, on Thursday evening, a sergeant of the 3rd Buffs having in the most sudden and unac countable manner killed a private of the same regiment by first inflicting two severe bayonet wounds, and then shooting him through the body. The deceased was Private Robert Synan, and his murderer was Sergeant John Haskell. The particulars of the sad affair, so far as they can be ascertained, for no ose saw the act com mitted, are as follows :—Between eight and nine o'clock on the evening of Thursday, a considerable &mown of alarm was created throughout the bar racks by the reports of five distinct discharge. of a rifle. The officers and non-commissioned officers ran from their quarters, and proceeded in the direction from whence the sound proceeded. Colonel Pearson, the commanding officer, Colour-Sergeant Howarth, and Sergeant Jenner were amongst those who proceeded to wards the sergeants' mess-room. Near the entrance they saw the deceased lying upon the ground upon his face. Sergeant Howarth lifted the body up, and observed that life was extinct. Colonel Pearson afterwards held deceased, and sent immediately for the surgeon, whilst Sergeants Jenner and Howarth went into the mess-room. They found Sergeant Blaskell standing behind the door, with his rifle in his hand, and having his sword bayonet fixed. Jenney seized his rifle and took it from him, whilst Howarth collared the prisoner, and they struggled together, and fell, but the prisoner was at once secured and placed under arrest. The rifle was subsequently examined, and found to be still loaded and cooked. The most remarkable circumstance is, that no one saw the act committed, for the prisoner, being armed with a breech-loader, was enabled to fire five rounds and load again before he was arrested. It is con jectured that the prisoner in a sudden fit of frenzy fired wildly about the barrack square, and that the deceased rushed upon him to prevent him, when the pri soner attacked him, stabbing him with his sword bayonet in the forehead, again in the right side, and then shooting him through the body. A bullet passed through the door of the sergeants' mess room, and lodged in the floor of the apartment, but whether it was the bullet whh which the deceased was shot, or that of one of the previous charges of the rifle, is unknown. The prisoner bears a good character in the re giment—indeed the fact of his being a sergeant is an in dication of that, and since the arrival of the regiment he had, an being • trustworthy man, discharged the duties of letter.carrier, and had on Thursday been twice to the Bristol poet-office, a distance of three miles, and had but • short time previously to this tragic *pennons* returned from has second journey. He had, however, after his return, quarrelled with his wife, and, in a paroxysm of rage, broken up the whole of the furniture of his room. The wife appealed to the sergeant major, and he told her that if he came down to lam he could do no other than confine him. She said she did not wish that, and the prisoner shortly lifter went to the mess room. He has a family of two children, and his wife is daily expected to be confined. The prisoner has been handed over to the civil authorities, and the coroner has been communicated with. SHOCKING MURDER OF A STATION-MASTER AT DOVER. A deliberate murder was committed yesterday morning at the Priory Station, on the down line on the Folkestone road in connexion with the London, Chat ham, and Dover Railway. It seems that the perpetrator of the deed—a young man named Wells, engaged in the company's service as carriage clenner—had for some time conducted himself fa a proof of the officials ; and on Thursday he was caught in the set of firing a gun near the station. The resident statien-master at the Priory, Mr. Jam.. Walsh, reproved him for so doing, and suggested that such a proceeding could not peas without being represented to the authorities. Accordingly the eircum stance was laid before Mr. Cox, the chief station-master at Dover, who arrived at the Priory shortly before 11 yesterday morning. On his arrival there Mr. Oex seated himself at the desk in Mr. Walsh's office, whilst tke latter was leaning over him dictating the subject of the complaint against the prisoner. Wells entered imme diately afterwards. and aiming a gun at Walsh, shot him deliberatly in the head, killing him on the spot. That the act was premeditated is assumed by the fact of the prisoner being seen shortly before without the gun, which is supposed to have been earned in • carriage near the station. A search for Wells was at once made, and the police in the service of the company discovered him seated in an adjoining shed. The lifeless body of the unfortunate roan was removed to his dwelling, and the prisoner, whe will be brought before the magistrate this morning, was safely lodged in the police station. The inquest is to be held this afternoon. The murdered man is married, and leaves • wife and family to mourn his loss. The murderer, whose father is • flab salesman, and resident at Dover, is respeetably connected. Mr. H. R. Duke said—l am secretary to the above coma pang, and was so on the 4th of December last. About half-past Ave o'clock on that day I saw a cab, driven by a man named Bracy, nest the company's warehouse. There was a mound of earth at the corner of Southwark street, Borough, just outside my office. The cab went over the mound and was upset. I said, " Pull np to the light, and let us see if there is any injury done.* The cabman pulled up to thepublic-bane, and I said, "What damage is done!"

As iMPULENT Salain.x.—A wan tamed Payne Juts been making a good living for some time past by be velling through the towns of the midland district in the character of an inspector of weights and measures. the business was so profitable that he was enabled to employ an assistant named Shaw, to whom he paid regular wages, and who has just been committed for trial by the Weapon bury magistrates upon a charge of obtaining money by false pretences. Payne used to go to all the small provi sion shops that lay in his route, and introducing himself as an inspector, demanded to be shown the wales in use. After a careful examination he would direct Shaw, who meanwhile stood in the background with a basket of tools over his shoulder, to file a little off one or other of the scales, and for this service he demanded a fee, varying from three to six shillings, according to the idyls of the shop.
