THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 28, 1866. -----L E usual. No doubt there wcr-2 some cases in which breaches of the law had takers plaoe, bat the government bad taken every step in its power to render all parties who had been recognised as having bacen part in the illegal processions amenable to the law, and orders had been given for their prosecution. THE RECENT DAMAGE TO HYDE-PARK. Mr. POWELL asked the Flist Commissioner of Works whether it was proposed to repair the ravages secr e tly committed in the parks of the metropolis by sums or to be voted from moneys arising from the taxes levied en the inhabitants of the United Kingdom, or whether the nwwary funds would be derived from the metropolis, which was the scene of the late devastations. Lord J. MANNERS said the drat thing to be done was to repair the damage. As to the source from which the money was to be obtained for tho purpose of such reps ration, that was a matter that would be taken inW the consideration of the government.

The Earl of SHAFTESBURY—My lords, perhaps you will allow me to weepy your attention for • few moments while I make • suggestion to the noble earl the First Lord of the Treasury, and that I may be strictly in order I will snake the motion that the house at its rising adjourn until Igenday next. It bad been my intention to give notice of an address to the crown, the effect of which I will now stab. It is in reference in some measure to the present erina, although it is an opinion and a project I have enter biked long anterior to the present time, and certainly long before this meeting in Hyde-perk took place. My inten tion was to have given notice, ' That in the event of the appeal to a court of law respecting the right of the people le meet in Hyde-park being decided in the negative, I should move an address to the crown to adopt such ma- Puree as would secure to the people one or more open or covered spaces for the purpose of political and other public dime:dom." I have long entertained this opinion, and had some notion of bringing it before your lordships acme time before these disturbances occurred in Hyde-park, and I think your lordships will see there is some justice in the proposition. Suppose, for the sake of argument, that the court of justice to which the appa l is made decides that the people have no right to meet in the park, the people might turn round and ray, "The constitution recognmes the right of the people to hold public meetings to express their opinions, lend to transact any business which they may think of ad vantage to the community ; but you shut us out from the parks, and we have no other places in which to assemble without being guilty of • breach of the peace." My lonia, it appears to me, therefore, we are only following the example of the gnat cities of antiquity if we provide some which the people shall have an undisputed right places in consider theiraffaire and the affairs of the commonwealth at large. It may be said that the people might go to Prim rose-hill Perfectly true, but they have not an undisputed right to Primrose - hill ' But lam perfectly certain, from what I have seen of the people, and from my long inter ments with them, that that which would satisfy them would be the provision of some place or places to which they would have an undisputed right to go without ap. psoig to any authority. I would take care that these plaosslahmld be under en sort of official control, or be in any way connected with the government. Our desire should be that—say the Metropolitan Board of Works, which has the power to levy a rate over the whole of the metropolis, should provide places where the people might meet and deliberate, and that when the people desired to meet, five or six householders should address the authorities, stating that they wished to bold meetings on such and such • day. It appears to me that really in this way we should not only do that which respects the constitutional rights of the people, but remove the possibility of future disturbances, such as have recently taken place in Hyde-perk. If my noble friend mould say it would be an inconvenient course that I should give due and formal notice of an address to the crown I will abide by hie advice ; but my noble friend will admit, I think, that this is ssubject of considerable im portance, and I therefore hope my noble friend, without pledging himself to any particular line of conduct, will say that the matter is of unportence, and shall be taken into his favoemble amsideration. The Earl of DERBY—My lords, I think my noble friend has exercised a wand discretion in the present state of the boom sod of the session in not giving formal notice of his intention to move an address pledging the government to take any particular steps. The Earl of SFIAFTESBURY—I said that it was con tingent on the appeal to the court of law being decided in the negative. The Earl of DERBY—At all events, I think this is a question which it would be very inconvenient to dia dems in the shape of • formal motion ; hat I un derstand my noble friend to propose to give notice for next session. My noble friend must excuse my discussing so hypothetical a question as that, more especially looking to the difficulty of carrying out the project. But Ido not think it at all unreasonable that a wish should be expressed on the part of the people to have some open spews within • reasonable distance of the metropolis where they may have the undisputed right to hold meetings. I think it is not only not unreason able, but on the contrary, desirable, and the attent'on of the government shall be given to the subject daring the recess. If I can see my way to introduce any such mea sure in the event of its being held the:: the public have no undisputed right to enter the park, that question will deserve the oonsideration of the government, and as far as I am concerned, I shall be ready to give the project the most favourable consideration in my power. At present my noble friend will hardly expect me to say more —( hear , hear)—except that the princip'e is well worth considering, and that it does form • reieonable ground on the part of the people to have such open spaces, that they have no such open Lances without asking per mission for them. With respect to Primrose-hill. my noble friends quite aware that permission has been granted on the present occasion for its use, and no doubt on similar occasions similar permission will be given, but that rests not upon right but upon permission. The Earl of SHTESBURY—I am entirely satisfied with the answer of my noble friend. Lord REDESDALE—I think that Hyde-park is not • desirable place for these meetings, sad I think this is the general opinion. Perhaps I may call attention to • fact to An open air meeting, upon the Reform question show that this is no party feeling arising out of any tem- and the conduct of the government, is to take place in occurrence.

In this case the plaintiffs filed their bill for the specific performance of an agreement. The company weed, on the 23rd of May, 1862, to purchase from the plaintiffs an estate of 60 acres of land near Battersea, for 32,000/., of which sum • portion was to be paid immediately, and the remainder, 21,4641., on the 11th of October, 1865. The first payment was made, and the company entered upon on, and had erected upon the ground engine. E rt.= stores, and other buildings but when the day arrived for the payment of the balance of the purchase money, not only was it not paid, but the company tossed paying the agreed interest of 5 per cent. Mr. Glare now applied that the money might be paid into court, or that the defendants might be compelled to give up possession of the property. Knowing that the company was not in a flourishing position, he did not wish to Kam harshly upon them, and would be willing to give further time for the payment of the principal if they at once paid the interest. Mr. Kekewick, for the company, said their metropolitan line was in possession of receivers appointed by Vice- Chancellor Stuart, and they could not therefore pay in terest on this money except under direction of the court. He believed that there would be no difficulty in obtaining such an order in the course of a day or two, and the com pany in the terms of an arrangement which had been under negotiation between the parties would consent, if the pay ment of principle was postponed till the 11th of October, 1867, to increase the rate of interest to 6 per cent. The receipts of the line were 12,000/. a week, not above one half of which was required for working expenses, so that there could be no difficulty in paying the interest to the vendor. Mr. Glasse mentioned that the receivers appointed by Vice-Chancellor Stuart were the existing manager and se cretary of the company. The Vice-Chancellor felt some difficulty in melting an order, seeing that the whole of the line, including, as he presumed, the premises in question, was in possession of receivers appointed by Vice-ChancellorStuart, but he would take time to consider his decision. AUSTRIAN AND PRUSSIAN ARMIES. Mr. OLIPHANT asked the noble lord the Secretary for Foreign Affairs whether he was informed that there had been a prolongation of the armistice betweenjrustrian and Prussian armies, and whether he could s e gene ral purport of the preliminaries that were to have been signed. Lord STANLEY said he understood that an extension of the armistice had taken place, but he was unable to say what the preliminaries wars. COURT OF BANKRUFTCY.—JuLY 27. (Before Mr. Commis' 'ion& Holroyd.) IN NZ LORD NINNY LOFTUS._ _ The bankrupt in this case was tlncribed as Henry Yorke Ashley Loftus, commonly called Lard Henry Loftus, formerly of Damer-street, Dublin, then of Jermymstreet, afterwards of Charles-street, St. James's square, and since of hiotrombmstreet. The adjudication was made on the bankrupt's own petition on the 4th June last. He thus describes the cause of his failure :—" In consequence of the Fenian disturbances in Ireland, toge ther with the money panic, I have been unable to obtain the purchase-money from a company formed and registered for t h e purchase and working of my interest ins valuable slate quarry in Ireland, which I had arranged to sell to them, and the expenses attending thereon." This was the sitting for examination and discharge. The unsecured debts are stated at 4,1441. (chiefly due to tradespeople and for money lent) ; owing to wound trail. tors, 3,0001. ; liabilities, 5001.; property given up, 10,0001., consisting of the slate quarry above referred to, at Bantry Bay. An adjournment was taken by consent for additional accounts. Hasse. Dubois and Newatead are the account ants engaged on behalf of the bankrupt. (Before Mr. Registrar Spring Rice.) IN /11 ISAAC LARDENSOWN. The bankrupt, a general merchant, of Redernes-street, suspended payment on the 3rd of March last, and his affairs have been under liquidation to the present time, but not being able to carry out his engagements to his creditors, he became bankrupt on a creditor's petition. From the statement of affairs, prepared b 7 Messrs. Harts Brothers and Co., it appears that his liabilities amount to 23,2891. Os. 7d. The assets, °enlisting principally of con signments to New York and Sydney, are estimated at about 8,0001. This was the first sitting, and Mr. Morley, warehouseman, Wood-street, was chosen assignee ; and Mesas. Honey and Humphrys were appointed managers. wes to the spot. They sent for kr. Wilson, the surgeon, who found the body stiff ' and cold, the boy havinf been dead some time. His clothes were torn, especially the seat of his trousers ; his face swollen ; on different parts of the body these were severe eon twee= ; and blood was oosrUg from his left eye. The body was taken to the camp, and a post-mortem ex amination was made by Mr. Mole and Mr. Wilson, who were eatided that the wounds found on the child were such as could not have been caused by • fall or by any accident ; that the injuries could only have been produced by a blunt instrument ; and that not • single blow, but • constant repetition of them had caused the de ath. At the time the body was found search was made near the spot, and • few yards distant there were appearances of a struggle having taken place, and • stick lying on the pound. The prisoner was con ' fined in a cell at Plymouth, where be elf: l es / led his desire to make • statement ; and, notwithstan • that he was dissuaded against doing so by Sergeant Hic ,be made the statement which was taken down in writing at the time, and wee signed by the prisoner in the presence of Sergeant Hicks and two policemen. In this statement the prisoner said on Saturday evening he was going down to bathe with the boy ; that he went &crow the firing ground, and down the slope towards the beach. He bad been told there was a rabbit at that place, and be took up • stone in his hand about Eilbs. After they bad gone down the slope about 20yards, and the boy was 10 yards ahead of him, a rabbit jumpe d up, and he flung the stone at it and accidently hit the boy, who was knocked 30 yards down the hill. He went up to him and lifted him up, but the boy told him to lay him down ; and he brought him down over the hill. He staid with him until three o'clock, when the lad died. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. The Judge, in passim sentence of death, attributed the crime to a beutial passion on the part of the prisoner. EMIGRANT SHIPS. The C'OONOB DON directed attention to the treat ment of emigrants on board the steamers plying between livetpool and New York, and to the great prevalence of cholera during the last three months on board many of those vessels. Mr. ADDERLEY remarked that the emirants who had suffered from cholera on board ships clearing out of the port of Liverpool, were for the moat part from Holland and Germany, and in all probability predisposed to the malady which had subsequently attacked them. As far as he was aware, the provisions of the Passenger Act had been complied with. Mr. MAGUIRE said that, on the contrary, the provi• stone of the act was notoriously evaded, and mentioned Mews. Wigram's ship the London as having been allowed to go to sea without proper inspec t ion. Mr. GRAVES observed that Liverpool shipowners were perfectly willing that the provision made by Omni for the health and comfort of emigrants should be submitted to the most searching investigation. The Railway (Ireland) Temporary Advance Bill was through committee, after explanation of its opera- Ca le a d nd a careful consideration of its clauses. The Landed Estates Court (Ireland) Bill also passed through committee. Other bills went through a similar stage.

The only candidate was the Hon. George William Barrington, private secretary to the Earl of Derby, who ap peared with the support of Sir. E. Kerrison. The election took place at the Town-hall, and the mayor, Mr. S. Peck, presided as returning officer . Major Mitchell proposed, and Mr. H. Wells sec:aided, the Hon. G. W. Barrington, and no other candidate keine nominated be was de clared elected. Mr. Barrington then addressed the electors, stating that he was a conservative from conviction not from the accident of birth, he having as many relations on one side as on the other. The days of the retrograde policy of the old Uric., were past, and the conservative was as much the friend of progress and of the working man as the liberal. When the late government resigned because they were beaten on a point of detail, everyone was astonished that they resigned. The conservatives had no notion of taking offios ; they were numerically in a minority, but as an homogeneous body they were stronger than any other party in the House of Commons. They numbered some 290 good men and true, who would stick to their flag, whilst the liberal party was divided, and no government stronger than the present could be formed. When another reform bill was brought forward, ha cared not by what government, he would give it his best consi deration, but the claims of the counties to further repre sentation must be recognised fora reform bill to be satis factory. Tee returns obtained by the late government showed that the working men were represented in boroughs to the tune of a fourth of the constituencies. He did not say that that was sufficient, and would be glad to see the intelligent and thrifty working man admitted to the Mut chile, but he objected to. any arbitrary figure being fixed, and to universal suffrage. He was in Hyde-park on Mon day night, and after the disorder was over spoke to some knots of intelligent mechanics, who he was glad to find deplored as much as he did the excesses of the rabble. I He was for non-intervention in foreign politics, and ex pressed himself strong' in favour of the abolition of the malt tax. The closed with a vote of thanks to the Mayor. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT. —biamsrowE, JULY V. (Before Mr. Baron Channell.) Ashley Bertrand, alias Ashley Nabokoff, alias Count Sobieski, and who has also gone by several other aliases, was charged with stealing a gold cross, the property of Thomas White. He was also charged with stealing a gold watch, the property of Esther Carpenter ; and there was a third indictment against him for stealing property from the Globe Hotel at Chatham. Mr. Barrow and Mr. F. J. Smith conducted the prose cution. The prisoner, who is a Pole, claimed his right to be tried by a jury partly composed of foreigners, and he also applied to the court to assign him a counsel to defend him. The learned judge observed that it was not usual for the court to assign counsel to prisoners in such cases, but as the prisoner was a foreigner probably some gentle. man at the bar would watch the case on his behalf; and upon this suggestion Mr. Poland consented to do so. The career of the prisoner appeared to have been a most extraordinary one, and the facts disclosed in the course of the inquiry left no doubt that he was a most accomplished swindler. The jury . having returned a verdict of Guilty, three pre vious convictions for felony were formally proved against the prisoner, under which he appeared to have been sen tenced to different periods of imprisonment and hard labour. _ _ _ The prisoner was shortly afterwards brought np for judgment, and Baron Channell, addressing him, said that it appeared to him that he was a very dangerous person, and - had evidently for • very long period been pursuing • course of crime. He therefore felt it to be his duty with a view to protect the public from persons of his class, to sentence him to be kept in penal servitude for seven years. THE POLICE COURTS► MANSION-HOUSE. Mr. George Holding, of the firm of Livingstone, Holding, and Briggs, of Great St. Helen's, City, merchants, attended before Alderman Sir James Duke, Bart., to answer a sum mons issued against the firm at the instance of Mr. William Sowerby, a master mariner, to recover the sum of 171. ls. for wages alleged to be due to him by the defendants. Mr. M'Niven, barrister-at-law, appeared on the part of the complainant to support the summons, and stated that the cue was one of some peculiarity. His client was a master mariner holding a certificate of competency, and on May last bad been appointed captain of a ship named Le Duo de Brunswick by the then owner, Mr. Thomas Hazel tine, by a letter signed by that gentleman, now produced, and stamped as an agreement, under which the com plainant was to receive 151. per mouth as wages. The complainant went en board the ship and did duty there for twenty-seven days, when it seemed a change in the ownership took place, and the present defendants became the purchasers and appointed a captain of their own selection, and the ship proceeded to sea on her voyage. His client, therefore, now claimed 13/. 10s. for his twenty-seven days' services on baud the ship, and 31. lls. in lieu of board, making a total of 171. la. Now, under the Merchant Shipping Act, be (Mr. M'Niven) contended the new owners were bound to diachsge the ship from all its liabilities, and the statute provided that seamen's wages should have priority and precedence of all other claims with the exception of salvage, and that position bad been maintained by a decirion of Dr. Luhington in the Court of Admiralty, and under these circumstances he submitted that his client, the complainant, was entitled to an order of the presiding magistrate for the amount claimed. The complainant was than called, and producing the letter or agreement with the late owner, Hazeltine, de posed that he had attended on board the ship for 27 days, discharging all the n duties while the vessel, which had a full cargo, war lying in the West India Decks. Mr. Holding (the defendant in attendance) denied all knowledge of the complainant, who has never been seen on board the vessel even by the ship's husband, who was daily in attendance, and therefore the complainant could not have rendered any services for which he was entitled to remuneration at the bands of the defendants. The circumstances were these :—The late owner, Hazeltine, has mortgaged the ship which was laden with freight sup plied by his (Mr. Holding's) firm, and other firms, and when reedy for the voyage the mortgagee refused to allow her to go to sea, and hence he and his partners bad been compelled to purchase the ship and discharge the mortgage, or she might have been detained for weeks or months, to the serious loss of his firm. They had never made any contract with the complainant, and hence they were in no way liable to him. He had not signed articles, and therefore he did not come within the category pre scribed by the Merchant Shipping Act. After a protracted discussion, in which Mr. M'Neven, the defendant, Mr. Holding, and the complainant, took part, Alderman Sir James Duke remarked that the set of parliament clearly gave justices (jurisdiction in oases where service, had been performed. In this instance, however, the complainant has failed to prove any service rendered by him to the defendants, and that being so, the summons must be dismissed. WESTMINSTER. A gentleman residing iaciieneighbourhood of Warwick square, Pimlico, presented himself, just before the rising of the court, to be sworn in as • special constable. Before resorting to this measure ' and to gave • magistrate due power, it is necessary that • credible witness should de pose upon oath before him, " that tumults and riots have lately taken place, and may reasonably be apprehended to take place again, and that the magistrate being of opinion that the ordinary officers appointed for preserving the peace in the said district are not sufficient for the preser vation of the pe ace and for the protection of the inhabi tants and security of property, shall," &c. Mr. Arnold observed that applicant was the first who had presented himself to be sworn in, and pointed out that the necessary information on oath had not been made before him. _ _ _ Apphoant said that after the rather disgraceful exhi bitions that had lately taken place, he thought it incum bent upon him to come forward and proffer his individual services for the preservation of the peace. Mr. Arnold requested him to leave his card, and said he should be communicated with. He, however, saw by the newspapers that Kr. Walpole had said on Thursday night that he did not think it would br necessary to swear in special constables. THE CATTLE PLAGUE. OFFICIAL Rrruitx.

Upon the resumption of the proceedings at the inquiry yestenlay several witnesses were examined.

They found no accumu• lations or trace of accumulations of combustibles, he. An apprentice named Till said that the business had been brisk latterly, but not extra brisk . There was a good deal of stook on the premise.. Mr. Joggles Aida that three months ego be noticed the shop floor to be very warm over a basement gas jet, and he ordered that the jet is question should be always extin• guiehed when not absolutely required. The Coroner having left it to the jury to say whether they would again adjourn or deal with the case as it stood, The jury returned a verdiet, " That the deceased war burnt to death through a certain house taking fire, buthow the said fire originated there is no evidence to show."
