IRISH DRAY ON _THE IRISH CHURCH LSTION AND THE GOVICILWILVT .POLICY. he Dean of li/lphin has published in the' Times reply to a letter from the secretaries of the Dublin '..tent Defence Association soliciting his aid and co itien in support of the Irish church. After expressing :.7,ret that he cannot units with the association in • .7 offorts to prevent the clisestablistment of the Irish t-: -11 of the united church, remarking at the time incidentally that he does not altogether : - ve that measure, he proceeds to say "I am of opinion ..: :he state has the right, as it certainly has the power, • ding with church property so far as it is national-- where it has not been the gift of individuals. I • . at willing to admit that the act of union, as firmly 7' act of parliament can, unites for ever the Irish with English branch of the united church ; but I do not LI that any act of parliament can bind posterity.

Mr. Commisoierter Holroyd, in the absence of opposi tion from any creditor, granted the desired order. 1/f an 00ADEN. This was also an application for release by do bark rapt, who was a builder in &Tea Sisters-road, .111sitoway. He was opposed by the detaining creditor, pa the groped that after helisd made an offer of oempssitisa he had got rid of the whole of his property by bat of sale ; and it was also complained that lie had surreptitiously removed 401. worth of timber from his premises, The detaining creditor asked the the matter should be adjourned until after the meeting for choice of assignees. On behalf of the bankrupt it was said that he had bees advised to do a deed - upon a promise of assistance by the mortgagees, but afterwards found they would not aid him in any way. It was true that In • moment of thoughtleamees be had removed property, bat he had since returned it, and bad acknowledged his error. His Honour said it was quite impossibki, under the cir cumstances, even upon the bankrupt's own statement, to grant the order for release.

Mr. Webster opposed in this case for the detaining creditor, and Mr. IL J. Dobie supported. It appeared that the bankrupt carried on business at Provident*. New Kent-road, and the complaint of the oppos creditor was that be had obtained credit upon a statement ? which proved to be untrue, that he was in partnership with • man of capital named Car penter. The jury upon the trial of • cause in which the defendant denied his responsibility stopped the case, giving a verdict in the plaintid's , favour, and the ju would have granted a prosecution but for certain di a l! culties which he mid stood in the way. Mr. Dobie said that Carpenter, while promising to bring in capital, bad failed to do so, but had succeeded in obtaining possession of . the whole of the assets of the estate. Mr. COMMinioner Holroyd said the bankrupt in his examination before the registrar stated that he c►lled the man Carpenter bin partner, and that he never acted in that character. Having regard to all the facts, the court could not interfere. Application refused.

Nook, 43, described as a painter, was brought up on remand before the Lord Mayor charged with bur glariously entering the office of Keens. Bremner tobacco brokers, carrying on business in Billiter-square, by means of a ladder, with intent to steal. Mr. Lewis appeared for the prosecution. The prisoner - had for some time been employed by the housekeeper to clean the windows of the prosecutors' offices, and it appeared that he had been accustomed to do so from the inside of the premises. Latterly he used a ladder, and under the pretenoe of cleaning the windows on the first floor, he entered the office and stole large quantities of tobacco at an early hour in the morning. Since the beginning of July about 621bs. weight of cigars, value 13s. or 16s . per pound, had been missed. Smart, a detective officer, instructed the housekeeper to mark the door in such a manner that he would know if it were opened during the night. In consequence of those marks remaining intact suspicion was directed to the prisoner, and he was eventually taken into custody. Sines the last examination Smart had searched the prisoner's house and found a number of Messrs. Bremner's sample cigar boxes broken up into small p • eces , evidently with the view of being used as firewood. The prisoner was again remanded. ALLEOND WATCH IPABBART AT THE IIETIOPOLTTLN 11.4XLIVAT, David Bassets, a respectably-dressed man, was charged with attempting to steal a watch and chain from the per son of Daniel' Gibson, at the Farnngdon-road station of the Metropolitan Railway. Mr. Ric/Letts, solicitor, defended. The evidence for the prosecution showed that the prose cutor was entering a carnage, when the prisoner pushed against him and tried to steal his watch, the prosecutor swearmg that his watch was lifted fromhis pocket. A cry of " . polics" was raised, and the prisoner ran and got into camsge eight or ten from that in which the prosecutor was. When the train stopped at Hing's-croes the prisoner was apprehended, and when told the charge be said he was a respectable man, and that prosecutor had better be careful what he was about _ _ _ Ricketts mid this was a case of mistaken identity, and called witnesses who bore out the defence, and also witneesee who gave the prisoner the best of characters. Mr. Cooke said the case was one which he could no decide and committed the primmer to the Middlesex &Nan for trial, but consented to take bail, two sureties in the sum of 40/. each. SOUTHWARK. _ A BARMAN aoaanea Me MAME& afore, Fry, IS, a barman in the service of Mr. Wallis, landlord of the London Bridge Tavern, Wellington-street, London-bridge, was charged with steeling two half crolnia, two florins, and one shilling. From the evidence of the manager of the house, Mr. William Lakin, it appeared that prisoner had been en gaged as barman there for about two months, during which time about It. a day was missed. In order to de tect the thief, and put an end to this system of robbery, some money was marked and given to a man named Holmes to pain over the counter. It was paid to the prisoner, who at the time was cleaning down the counter, using a pail with water. Hohnes saw him very cleverly drop something into the pail, and on Mr. Lakin going to it he discovered two of the marked half-crowns and a shilling. The prisoner's box was then searched, and there were found in it two florins marked, and 24 is. 10d. in silver. The prisoner, on being charged with the robbery, made no reply. Fohee-constable Sawyer, 170 lit proved marking the money . produced amongst other pieced; and said that on his asking the prisoner how he accounted for the poses.- sion of it, the latter replied that he did not know. The prisonernow pleaderl'onilty, whereon the magistrate said that it was a very serious robbery, and also one in which the prisoner had shown himself very artful. He should not deal with the case, but send it for trial at the 60V41021/1. fie prisoner was then fully committed. OREENWICIi. Prifratillarr d 1 WW2. Theme. Owen, • law writer, residing at 11, Adoloo. street, Deptford, who had been apprehended on a warrant, was charged before Mr. Matt& with assaulting and threatening the life of his wife, Sarah Owen. The accused Was charged some time ago with leaving hie wife and children in a state of complete destitution, although he earned, during the parliamentary session, four or Ave guineas a week, and also with assaulting his wife. In excuse for the former, he urged that he was out of employment, and it was arranged that an adjournment of the case should take place, and ultimately the warrant which had been i,ened was ordered to stand over for a month. On Wednesday last the wife again attended the court, and said that after his return home ow the previous Monday night, she having been before the magistrate the same day, the defendant had assaulted her in her bed, had eaten some bread and treacle which was the only food she had for the children, and on the following day when she attempted to prevent him eating come porridge, which she had purchased a pennyworth of oatmeal to make, he had chopped at her band with a knife, and threatened that "he would swing for her." Upon this another warrant was issued, which the police had great difficulty in executing. The wife having deposed to the above facts, and also said that when residing in London she was frequently turned into the streets by the defendant, at night fame, in her night-drees, The defendant said he had struck the knife on the table, but not with the intention of cutting his wife's hand, and that be was exasperated at her brmgiug him before the court. --- - Mr. Maude said the defendant appeared to have grown quite callous as to his wife and family. He was a man of education and ability, and, if be chose, could earn a re spectable living. He (Mr. Maude) had endeavoured to bring about a better state of feeling, and, however painful it might be, he Inuit now order a commitment to prison for two months with hard labour. The wife and family moat be looked to by the parish authorities. The prisoner was removed to undergo his sentence. Two EL'MAN SKELETONS FOUND.—A curious discovery was made in the town of Norton, East Riding, on Saturday. In digging foundations for furnace. for a new malt kiln for Mews. Russell and Sons, the brewers, the workmen, after digging through nearly four feet of black soil, came to the red sand, in which they found two skeletons doubled up into the shortest possible awe. One was that of an old person who had become toothless before death. The body lay on the right side, with the head to the east. The grave was only 3ft. tin. by Ift. 3in. The other skeleton lay on the left side, with the head to the south, in loose sand. The skeletons were about eight feet apart, and at right angles to' each other. Nothing was found with them.

A cruel caw of wife poisoning has just been tried at the Court of Assizes of the Seine. The accused, named Ringard, a telegraphic clerk at Boulogne, near Paris, was married in 1864 to his cousin, Marie Jaunet, who has since borne him seven children. He, however, very soon commenced a course of neglect and ill-treat ment, and as early as 1866 pursued with his mei duities his sister-in-law, at the same time express ing to her the satisfaction he should feel e death of his wife. The primmer had the reputation of being a bed husband and a bad Lather ; &sof his children have died, and the disease of the last at these I. attributed to want of proper treatment. The wife bore for a long time with patience the Blume and infidelity of her husband, but in 1866 she was forced to fiy for refuge to her . patents, and was about to take steps to wooers a judicial separation, when her husband induced her to return to her home. His conduct did not, however, im prove ; he formed • connexion with. a dew, a young woman of light character. He fr eq uently threatened to poison his Wl* and coos before soddavoared to emery oat his threat. The wife was in such coasted -fear that she had secretly written a letter in pencil to her sister, to ask the latter to take charge of her children should she die tm fairly. On the 23rd of May last Wine. Ruigard and her son, aged five, were soddenly seized with violent pains in the stomach, accompaaied by every symptom of poison ing. The child was shortly ieved by vomiting, and ultimately recovered, but the mother gradually became worse and expired the same afternoon. The hus band manifested the utmost indifference, and did not even go to see her when told that she was dying. A post mortem analysis of the contents of the stomach showed the presence of I considerable quantity of cyanide of potassium, is tonics] substance used in photography, which art Ringard practiced at his leisure Dour, Do WO poison was also found in some liquorice water which the mother was accustomed to drink, and of which she had partaken, with the child, that morning. On one occasion Ringard had said to his own son, "We will poison mother and put her in a hole, and then send for another mamma who will be better than she." The evidence, however, showed that she was a woman of kind and gentle disposition, and by her needlework aided considerably in supporting the expenses of the household. The defence made was that the woman, being unhappy with her husband, had com mitted suicide, but this hypothesis was not admitted by the jury, who gave a verdict of guilty, but with extenuat ing circumstances. The prisoner was sentenced to hard labour for life.—Galigment. TIIE EARL OF RODEN.—Much anxiety (gays the Dublin Evening Mail) is felt in behalf of the Earl of Roden. His physician, Dr. Maconchy, has been travel ling on the Continent, but has been telegraphed for. Great gloom prevails around Tollymore Park, - the gates whkh are closed against all visitors. His son, Colonel the Hon. Strange Jocelyn, has arrived. A slight change for the better was announced on Saturday. The liberals at Bolton achieved a great municipal victory yesterday. Their candidate was returned by 651 against 627, although the Same ward last year elected two conservatives hy a majority of 300. 00MMENCIMENT OF PARTRIDGE SHOOTING.— ('ram DST.)—This morning the season for partridge shooting commenced.

THE CAbMts's Sninre.—(This DST.)-71id effect of the order *mad by the directors of various railway companies—viz., that privileged cabs, no matter to what station they belong, may ply for hire at any metropolitan railway terminus—has been to increase the supply of cabs at all the stations. At 2 o'clock this morning all the non-privileged cabs in the streets were taken home, but long before the pre reribed hour for commencing business-11 o'clock— numbers of the IMMO clam of cab were plying for hire in the ttreets.

THE SNIDER.—The Reeieks ifilitar, of Lisbon, contends that the perfecting of fire arm; far from increasing the mortality in battles, has, on the contra' y, diminished it, and alleges the following in stances:—' At Andreas the French lad 14 per cant. and the Austrians and Prusians respectively 14 and 30 per cent. of their soldiers. At Moscow the French loss was 37, while the Russian loss was 44 par cant. At Wagrant the casualties were, among the French, 13, and amongst the Austrians, 14 per cent. At Bautzen the French lost 13, the Russians and Prussians 14 per cent. At Waterloo the losses of the Allies were 31 and of the French 38 per cent. Then coma the contrast. At Magenta the French lost but 7 per cent. of their troops, and the Austrian per oentage did not exceed 8, while at tiolferino the losses of the combatants ware 10 and 8 per cent. According to the report of General Bosencrana, which caused some surprise at the time it was published. 20,000 discharges of cannon put only 728 men hors de combat, and out of 2,000,000 musket shots no more than 13,330 took effect. It thus took 27 balls and 150 bullets to disable each soldier.

Two LOVERS DROWNED.—On Saturday evening, a melancholy accident occurred in the Clyde, opposite White's Chemical Works, Itutherglen, which resulted in the death of two persons, named Janet Murray, twenty. one years of age, and Thomas M'lntyre, twenty-two years of age. It appears that M'lntyre and Murray, who were employed in Dick's Gutta Perch& Works, had been courting for several years. On Saturday evening, M'lntyre hired a boat at the Humane Society House, and, in company with the young woman, Murray,pu slowly up the river. On approaching White's Chemical Works, a man named Simpson, who was in the south side of the river called to M'lntyre to 1 : 11 :11 his boat towards him, as his lishiu-line had got entangled with something, and he co d not get it extricated; and M'lntyre did so. At the spot where Simpson was fishing the river-bank is seed with stone, and near the surface of the water donee project at several places. After M'lntyre pulled his boat to the side, Simpson, who wore clogs, descended from the quay to one of the projecting atones for the of sedating in getting his line sorted. Unfor tunatel y, however, his feet slipped off the stone, and he was precipitated into the water, which at the spot in question is fully four teen feet deep, and disappeared. On owning to the sur face, he made a desperath clutch at the side of the boat, in oonsequence of which the tiny craft capsized, and the throe persons were left struggling in the nver. They all succeeded in catching hold of the boat ; but, unhappily, while Simpson was in the act of getting • better hol I, the bout wive a lurch, and M'lntyre and his sweetheart sank. The young woman never reappeared. M'lntyre rise to the surface, but as there wee no help at hand, he, too, sank to the bottom. The bodies were recovered in about an hour afterwards. 1868. 11,0711 Y gfiriatlE—(T7/18 DIE) 4 . ; ... .. , . ....„ 7:76.77651,0124011G•1 The stock Markellic. rasa* aditawßOT bail: spf Ptioes in Pi a* ogiiii a* iopilliistli co. 401( .1 4 : 6 i, ing lertaday. .

THE NEW LAW ON IMPROVED DWELLIIIOB 'OR ran Woarnio-Cr-sesia.—The last act of parliament in the late session was an important meuure. pared ob ject was to provide better dwellings for artisans and labourers by improving or taking down places occupied by working men and their families which in the preamble were described as " unfit for human habitation." Nu merous public improvements are being effected ; and in the neighbourhood where they are being executed wretched homes for the working men present themselves. Prtmiees can now be represented by four or more house holders, and officers of health are to report, and, when required, the owners are to improve the dwellings, or to demolish the same. When expense* aro incurred a charge is to be given on the property in the shape of a mortgage and an annuals= to be paid. When • local authority executes the works, money maybe borrowed of the Public Loan Commissioner and others, and a "charg ing order " made on the property. The text of the new law is to make provision for taking down or improving dwellings occupied by working men and their families which are unfit for human habitation, and for the build ing and maintaining abetter dwellings. In 41 sections and several schedules the teat is worked oat. ....

Wilson narrates circumstantially the of emend burglaries, the blows he ph to policemen with a life preserver, hie intention to shoot' any one who interfered with him, and the manner in which the proceeds of the burglaries were taken to London. The following is the account of one of the burglaries in which Wilson was implicated :—" On Monday sight, Nov. 6, 1866, I and • friend (not Geary) *eat to a jeweller's shop in the &siesta-street, 3e. Gloemestar (Mr. Neininger's). We got over two or three high walls at the back, and tried to break into the house, but were dis. turbed. A policeman had found IA and he followed us down a lane into the market. We turned to our left, and he ran up to us and tried to stop us. I heard afterwards the policeman's name was Tuck. We both had our life-preservers in our hands, and both struck at kit at the tams time. My friend struck him and kaosited him silly, but I misse d him. We then turned and made hack for the railway station. Before we got there we beard a bores coming very fast I took out my pistol and into nded to shoot the hone, but we had just time to jump over a spiked gate before you (Mr. Griffin) rode up. Had you been sooner, and attempted to Mika us, I should have shot you. We ran across the line, got over into some leMa, remained quiet foe sense time, and then made off for Letibury. We robbed ajr welter's shop there the same week, and then left the neighbourhood. Chary was at this time doing penal ser vitude." I
