IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. • - - Ix the House of Loans, yesterday, the LOSD OTIANCELLOR withdrew the Judgment Debtors' Bill, the Bankruptcy Bill, and the Bankruptcy Acts Repeal Bill, saying that it was impossible to pass them in time to enable the House of Commons ' to deal with them this session. The Regulation of Railways Bill passed through committee. The fifth clause, which provided that directors might be imprison ed for falsifying the account. M . & railway company, was, on the motion of the Mari,uis of Ssimltscv, amended by making Han offence' punishable by tine and imprisonment for the officers or auditors of a railway company to sign accomita which they knew to be faisitied. The Cspital Punishment within Prisons Bill was read a third time and pissed. Several other bills were advanced • stage, and the house adjourned at twenty-five minutes to eight o'clock. __.._ Is the House of CommoNs, Mr. Di:mow, re plying to Sir Andrew Agnew and Mr. Monereiff stated that he was anxious to bring about the earliest possible dissolution of the house, and with that view to bring the Scotch Reform Bill under oonsiderati , m as aeon as possible. It was requisite to take the Boundary Bill first on Thursday, and as there was an objection to the Scotch Reform Bill being placed second, he should put it down for the first open day. On the order of the day for going into committee of supply, Captain Mseelasosr drew attention to certain deficiencies said to exist in the iron-clad fleet, and Mr. St...WM% called attention to a parliamentary return relative to the designs for war-ships fur nished by private shipbuilding firms on an invita tion from the Admiralty, and to the course taken by the Admiralty in respect to them. He com plained that the private firms had been treated unfairly ; that some of the designs of the Con structor of the Navy had an extreme resemblance to some which had been sent in by private firms, and that Messrs. Laird, who had sent in the admit tedly best design fur a turret ship, did not receive the order for the ship, but got an order for a broad side ship. Mr. Catev said the designs were necessarily re ferred to the Controller of the Navy, and of course the Admiralty was in a great measure bound by his opinion. The reason why Messrs. Laird did not get the order for the turret ship was that they were already building another turret ship, the Csw taro. Besides, there was the greatest possible doubt of the fitness of turret ships for cruising purposes, and as they had so few iron-dads, he thought the wisest course was to postpone the building of the turret ship till they had some fur ther experience of both the Captain and the Monarch. The house then went into committee of supply, and Mr. CORRY proceeded to explain the naval esti mates, which he did at considerable length ; his statement occupying nearly three hours. He said the total amount of the estimates this year was 11,177,•.:901., as compared with 10,976,2531. last year—showing an increase of 201,0371. ; but this increase was apparent only, as 206,2921. would be repaid to the Exchequer, showing an actual de crease of 2,2.15/. But, on the other hand, some few items had been removed from the navy to the civil service estimates, and the general result was that there was an increase in the estimates for the naval service of the present year of 9,480/. over the amount voted last year. In preparing the esti mates the question rose as to whether any reduc tion should be made in the number of seamen for the year, and of course that depended on the ques tion of whether our foreign squadrons were to be maintained at their present strength. He re ferred to the various stations, stating the increase and decrease which had been resolved upon with regard to each, the general result being that there was a reduction of 13 ships out of 135, and of 2,768 men, and if it had not been fir the Abys sinian war the reduction would have been carried to 18 ships and 3,208 men. The total number of men voted last year, excluding boys and marines, was 37,063; and including boys and coast guard, 51,663. This year the total number was 50,800, being a reduction of 842 men ; but they had re duced the number of marines to the extent of 1,700 men, shelving a gross reduction of 2,542 men. But though there was this reduction in the num ber of men there was a net increase in the esti mates on vote lof 85,682/. The house had agreed to various proposals for the comfort of the men, and increase of expense was the inevitable result, and a portion of the increase was caused by the new regulations for the promotion of the officers in the marines. In vote No. 2, victuals, for clothing for seamen and marines, the amount asked this rear was 1,335,842/., being a net increase of 94,2281., but 90,5001. of this was duo to other de partmona, and therefore for the purposes of com parison the increase was only 3,7281. In vote No. 11, for new works, buildings, machinery, and repairs, which was important in amount, but which did nut involve a question of policy, there was a decrease of 74,3511. On vote No. 6, for dockyards and naval yards at home and abroad, there was a decrease of 151,806/. the amount being 1,223,5621. this year as agains t 1,375,3681., but on vote No. 10, naval stores, for building and re pairing the fleet, steam machinery, and shipabuiltby oontract, there was an increase of 231,9411. He next came to what he described as the most important branch of naval expenditure, the building of ships of war. The ships that were being built, according to the programme of last year, were 37 unarmed ships and four armed ships in the dockyards ; and when he came into office there were three armour-clad ships and 14 unarmed ships which were being built under contract in private yards. The estimated cost of the four armour-clads was 915,5181., and of the 14 unarmoured ships, 210,8001. , making a total of 1,156,3001., but the contract price was somewhat less, and t herewas a surplus of 67,5001. on that head. Fourarmour-clads were launched duringthe year, and 25 unarmoured ships. In the ensuing year they proposed to build two corvettes at Deptford, and when they were finished it was not intended to lay down any more ships in that yard. It was also intended to build six new armour-clad ships, three in the dockyards,and three by contract. There was no doubt of the great superiority of turret ships for coast defence, and one of the new armour-clad would be a turret ship, which would be capable of going to sea but they did not intend her for a cruising ship. By the 31st October they hoped to have seven armour clad ships for cruising purposes. In conclusion, the right hon. gentleman referred to the general state of the navy, which he described to be moat satisfactory, the desertions being less than for merly, and the health cf the men very good. Mr. CHTLDLas criticised the statement in detail, and said the reduction in the ships and men on the foreign stations was in pursuance of recommenda tions from the opposition aide of the house. He approved of the intention to build more iron -clads, but he an stronglyon the increase in the wages to marines, arising from the circumstance that though the number of men was decreased the number of officers was. increased. He moved that the sum required for the wages of the marines be reduced by 60,000/. After some discussion the amendment was nega tived by 127 to 73. Colonel SYMIS condemned the policy of having the squadron on the south-east coast of Africa, and moved the reduction of the vote by 20,0001., but after some conversation the amendment was with drawn, and the vote, which was 3,036,6341., was agreed to. The house then resumed, and, the other orders having been gone through, adjourned at 1 o'clock.

M.C.C. AND GROUND V. ROYAL ARTlLLKRT.—Yesterday, at Lord's Ground, the eighty-first season of the Itarylebone Cricket Club was inaugurated by a match between the abovenamed elevens. The activity of the present executive has been further demonstrated during the recess by the erection of a spacious and commodious hotel on the site of the inconvenient and com fortless apology for a tavern which so long existed there. The ground, too, has received considerable attention, the practice wickets having been !skid, and improvement generally has been the order of the day. Play yesterday commenced at half-pant twelve. The Royal Artillery having won the tom, took first and were represented by Lieut.-Colonel Milman and Hamond, bowled at by the two new "ground men " Again' of Cambridge and Price of Nottingham. The wickets, which were pitched towards the north-east corner of the area, were in good playing order, though as a matter of course some what bard after tha long drought. Jigging began with an over of half-volleys to leg, which yielded three tuna, but Price, 'who delivered from the pavilion end, found out the colonel's middle stump in his third over. The innings culminated at 5.25 for 104 runs. Mr. Harvey Fel lows kept wicket in his old form. The M.C.C. fielded well. The young bowlers (Price especially) acquitted themselves very credi tably. After luncheon—viz., at three o'clock—Mews. Ellis and Dove, on behalf of the M.C.C., faced the bowling of Colonel Milman and Captain Campbell—the former at the pavilion end. The last wicket fell exactly at six o'clock, 156 being the total. At Sl6 the Royal Artillery sent in Captain Hammond and Sergeant Ledsham, Price and Jiggins again leading the at* ack. The first wicket (Captain tHamonds) fall with the score at 7, of which be made s, and Mr. Dully was easily caught after a ball or two. Mr. Griffith' joined Sergeant Ledaham, and the two played out time 15.30), the score denoting 13 runs for two wickets. The following the score :—Artillery, first innings, 104; second innings, la, two wicket' down. M.C.C., first innings, 150. The game will be resumed thls day at noon, when the splendid band of the Royal Artillery win again be in attendance. The St. John's Wood Railway lands passengers within 200 yards of Lord's Ground. Tar ABORIGINAL BLACI RLEVIIII. —A telegram was received in town yesterday to the effect that the Paramatta, in which the troupe had taken passage, bad arrived safely off Penzance, THE PROPOSED MEETING IN TRAFALGAR -SQUARE. —Last night a general meeting of the committee of the Working Men's Association was held at the Bell Inn, Old Bailey, to decide upon the resolutions and complete the arrangements for the great demonstration to take place in Trafalgar-square, on Wednesday evening next, Mr. Law rence in the chair. The secretary reported the proceedings taken by the sub-committee to carry out the meeting in accordance with the decision of the general meeting on Friday last. The proposed meeting had been advertised in the dail papers, the walls and hoardings had been ex tensively p , and handbills had been publicly dis tributed and sent to the officers of the various working class organisations. A special bill had been prepared for distribution at the St. James's-hall meeting, on Tuesday evening, and amongst the crowds who might be expected to assemble on Wednesday to wi:ness the proceedings connected with her Majesty's laying a the foundation stone of St. Thomas's Harm This bill was as follows:—" Men of London, don't fail in meeting in Trafalgar-square on Wednesday evening, May 13, to turn out the tones." To give the meeting a dis tinctive character, the large banner of the association would be placed in the square, but there would be no pro- cession or bands of music, it being considered the gravity of the crisis was in itself sufficient to bring the people together. The report was adopted, and the committee then proceeded to discuss the resolutions. There are to be three in number. The first resolution congratulates the House of Commons on its desire to do justice to Ireland, by the total removal of one of its monster grievances—an alien church establishment—end endorses the opinion ex pressedby Mr. Bright in the House of Commons on Thurs day evening last as to the unconstitutional conduct of the prime minister in retaining office in the face of such a very large adverse majority, and bringing in her Majesty's name to sustain him in such a course. The second resolution declare* it to be inexpedient to allow the present government to remain any longer in office, to exercise the patronage of office for six or nine months longer, and to have the opportunity of influencing or controlling the general election under the new Reform Act, and calls upon the liberal parlia mentary leaders to eject them from aloe by the means of a direct motion of want of confidence. The third resolution proposes the adoption of an address to her Majesty, preying her to accept the resignation of the present nunhetry, and to select a new government from the majority the House of Commons. The various speakers to the resolutions were then appointed, com prising leading members of the association of the Reform League, and of working clans organisations. To provide for the contingency of the proposed meeting being inter fered with by the government it was also resolved that all conflict with the authorities should be carefully avoided, and that the people should proses& to Hyde-park, where the meeting should be held, and a vote of than to the chairman ormoinded the proceedings.

After Term NW Prins &Wisp at Weetmineter.—(Before Mr. Justice Molise end Common Juries.) TOCKI/T t. Tome. This was an action to recover • sum of mosey, part of the Cup Stakes at Ascot. The defendant pleaded first, never indebted ; and soundly, that the mosey was paid. Mr. Begley wee counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Iderre weather and Mr. Smith for the defendant. The plainti ff , who resides near Thirsk, in York shire. is the owner of the rue-horse called Zenobia. la 1865 be entered into an arrangement with a Mr. Elliott, whereby the latter paid all the expenses of training and running the mare, the plaintiff receiving one-half the gross winnings. That arrange ment wee continued during the ruing season of 1866. In December, 1866 the plainti ff was introduced to the defendant, who is • farmer residing near Tunbridge, in Kent, when the defendant entered into a similar ent with him for 1867, and the mare was sent from ffr ' kehire to the defendant. She ran and won the Ascot Cup in Jane last, the stakes had been made up to 808/. 2a. nett. The total amount of the stakes was paid over to the defendant, but he bed not paid the plaintiff his half. The mare was returned to the plaintiff the third week in January, and she was still in his possession. The defendant wrote to plaintiff that he had received the Makes, and held them under sufferance. The plaintiff, in hie cross-examination, deposed that • person named Arkhill claimed the mare, and intended to prevent her running. There were cross actions between Mott and Arkhill shoat the mare. He signed • docu ment at defendant's suggestion, stating that he had dis posed of the mare upon certain conditions to the defen dant. That was to enable the defendant to run her without Arkhill's interference. Elliott is a trainer at Richmond in Yorkshire. The mare came home to him in December 1866. He first saw the defendant at Elliott's. The mare had been given up to him before then. He heard that Arkhill had something to do with the mare when she wan at Elliott's. He did not know that Arkhill had the mare I from Elliott on the same term, as plaintiff let her to Elliott. He believed there was a dispute about the time between Arkhill and Elliott as to the training ex penses of the mare. Mr. Elliott was the only person during 1866 who could wretch the mare ; be knew nothing of Arkhill's arrangements with Elliott. The mare was 1 now in Yorkshire. The defence was that the mare wu let to Elliott for her racing career, not for any definite period, and that having assigned his right in her to Arkhill he had no power over her and could not have returned her to the plaintiff. Arkhill was the person who was entitled to the stakes. After defendant bad the mare delivered at his training stables Arkhill claimed her, and defendant informed plaintiff of it. He entered the mare for the Ascot Stakes, and she wen. He met Arkbill on the day he wu going to Weatherby's for the Stakes. Arkhill said he was going to stop the payment of the stakes, and in consequence of what he said he went to Weatherby's and got the stakes, and a day or two after he paid half over to Arkblll, who gave him a verbal guarantee. Mr. Arkhill was called to prove that Elliott assigned the mare to him for her racing career, which meant as long as a horse could stand training. Mr. Bailey objected that Elliott could not aturigu more than the interest he took in the mare from plaintiff's letting to him. Mr. Merryweather contended that the letting to Elliott by the plaintiff was for the mare's racing career. Mr. Arkhill said Zenobia was left with Elliott to train. He had no idea that Elliott had parted with the mare. He demanded her back, and bad sines brought an action against him. He claimed her from the defendant, and told him by letter that he would stop her racing. At the conclusion of the defendant's case a verdict was entered for the plaintiff for the amount in the declaration, subject to the opinion of the court above. BAIL 00IIRT.-MAY 10. Sittings at Nisi Prius.—(Before Mr. Justice Hannan and a Common Jury.) PARSONS V. PARSONS. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, Miss Matilda Parsons, against the defendant, who was her great uncle, residing at Darlington, to recover the sum of 311. 15a. for services rendered to the defendant as an ainecuensis and companion. There was also a count for slander. The defendant pleaded several pleas, denying his liability. Mr. Ditty Seymour, Q.C., and Mr. Steel were counsel for the p tiff ; Mr. Serjeant Robinson and Mr. Besley for the defendant. It appeared that the defendant, who was an old gentle man 76 years of age, required in January, 1866, some one to be in constant attendance upon him, and to act as his ancanuthais, and engaged the defendant for that purpose, and in return for which services she was to receive her board and lodging and 251. a year pocket money, and to be treated ashis daughter. She accordingly went toDarlington and stayed there for a considerable tame performing those duties till her health began to fail her, and she found she could not accompany him in the phaeton in all weathers, and told him so, whereupon he gave her a formal month's notice to leave, and before that time ex pired peremptorily expelled her from his service, and accused her, before his housekeeper, of being dishonest. At the conclusion of the plaintiff's case Mr. Digby Seymour and Mr. Serjeant Robinson adjourned into the learned judge's room and came to an arrangement that a verdict should be entered for the plaintiff, damages 501., and a full retractation of any expressions of the defendant that the plaintiff might have thought conveyed an impu• tation of dishonesty. COURT OF RXCHEQUER. —MAY 10. Sittings at Nisi Prins. —(Botore Baron Martin and a Special Jury.) THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. STEVENS._ This was an information against the defendant, a law stationer in Bell-yard, Fleet-street, to recover two penalties of 501. each for not assesing himself to the income tax in the years 1865 and 1866. The matter arose out of an inquiry which took place into the defendant's claim for compensation in consequence of his premises being re quired for the new law courts. The Solicitor-General, Mr. J. Locke, Q.C., and Mr. Crompton Hutton appeared for the Crown, and Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr. R. G. Williams for the defen dant. When the jury bad entered the box an arrangement was made under which two gentlemen who bad been engaged in the compensation cue were to examine the defendant's books, and in the event of it being found that the com missioners of income-tax had under-assessed him he wu to pay the difference. Mr. Hawkins said the defendant wu anxious that it should be understood that the proceeding against him was not for having nude a false return, but for not having slammed himself to the income-tax. A verdict for the crown, with a nominal min of 1001., was then entered, it being intim►ted that the penalties would not be enforced. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.-MAY 10. (Before Mr. Acting-Commissioner Haslitt.) IN NC HEBRAIC VINOOL MURPHYITE RIOTS AT ASH TON. On Sunday the borough of Ashton-under-Lyne was the scene of great rioting and disturbance, arising out of the spirit engendered between the English pro. testants and Irish Romanist' by the lectures of the well kLiwn Mr. Murphy. A junction of proemial's from Dakinfield, Stalybridge, and Ashton having been formed, two of the principal Irish quarters of Ashton were attacked, and a good deal of furniture was destroyed in the houses of the residents. As may be supposed, all this was not accomplished without sonic severe fighting, in which many people were badly hurt. In the evening' St. Omer's catholic chapel and school were attacked by the mob, and much damage done. After that St. Mary's catholic chapel and school were attacked. The bell was sounded to give notice of the approach of the attacking party and a considerable force of Irish Romanist, rallied to defend the buildings. These were ultimately overpowered, and a good deal of injury was sustained, the fittings and windows being destroyed. Some shots were fired, and one person is said to have been wounded, but no lives were lost. The magistrates were assembled, and the borough and county police were reinforced as soon am possible by special constables, but it was not till a late hour that order was restored. Many arrests were made, and the prisoners were taken before the magistrates yesterday, but only to be remanded while evidence could be obtained against the principal offenders. A notice was posted on the walls yes terday, under the authority of the mayor and magistrates, stating that the Riot Act had been read, and warning the inhabitants of the consequences that might follow any renewal of the disturbances. THE CONVICT BARRETT. Wo learn from the North British Mail that a meeting of the sympathisers with the condemned man was held on Saturday evening at Glasgow, the convener and chief speaker beings person named M'Corry, who declared amid ' great applause," that " if there be justice and truth in heaven or on earth, Michael Barrett will be a free man ;" and added, amid even " greater applause," that " if this execution be carried out, he would impeach Mr. Gathorne Hardy with wilful murder so long as he lived !" It was resolved to forward a petition to the Home Secretary "praying for a respite to Michael Barrett till farther inquiry be made." The following letter from Barrett, dated the " Condemned Cell, Newgate," on the 6th instant, was read by Mr. M'Corry " Mr. P. M'Corry.—Dear Sir,—l am afraid that before this you will have thought me the most ungrateful area. tore in existence in not having written to you sooner ; yet I can assure you that such is not the case. Indeed, there is nothing but the attention which it was necessary for me to give to the instructions of my spiritual director that could have so long prevented me from doing so. I may just say that it is utterly impossible for me to tidiest my scattered thoughts sufficiently to convey to you any idea of my unbounded thankfulness and gratitude towards you for all that you have done for me since first it pleased God to bring these troubles upon me, knowing me to be innocent of the crime for which I am Galled upon to suffer, and no other object in view than to indicate that innocence, and render an act of justice to a fellow-creature. I do, most acutely, feel for the terrible and unbearable humiliation which the verdict of the jury (in the eyes of some) is cal culated to bring upon you and those other poor men who also endeavoured to have justice done me, without either fear of punishment or hope of reward. What a strange and striking contrast to the paid witnesses of the crown, with the gold of government jingling in their pockets, and their gilded bribe dangling before their eyes, ready to be grasped the moment they had secured my conviction. I am wholly at a lose to know by what means the jury came to the decision they did, the only evidence upon which the Attorney-General dared ask them for • ver dic t being that of the terrible man Mullany and the two people who were in the habit, they said, of seeing me at his place ; yet, in every other particular, they not only contradicted Mul len'', but they contradict each other also. lam certain there are other juries who will return a different verdict ; yet, however that may be, it is almost impossible for human nature to bear up under such an indignity. If there was one thing more than another required at the hands of their masters to complete the degr ad ation of the Irish race, it is now added. Well may they cry with the Psalmist of old, How long, 0 Lord, how long!' I can no longer allow myself to dwell upon this subject, lest my feelings should so far master me as to draw me into expressions that I have no desire to indulge in. God for bid that I should insinuate that the jury (however strange their conduct may seem) did not act in accordance with the dictates of their conscience ; but, even if we allow such to be the case, it only aggravates instead of lessening the degradation. To all my old comrades I send my most sincere love, and trust that they will not grieve for my un timely end. For my part, I am entirely resigned to the will of God. It is He who gives, and He who ham a right to take, wherever and however it may please Him. As I hope myself to be forgiven, I forgive every one who has injured me, and trust that my friends will entertain no ill-feeling towards any one on my account. This being the only letter I shall write to you before entering into eter nity, permit to say that I am your most grateful and truly sincere friend, ' M. Beinterr." MASISLAUGHTXII AT LIViRPOOL.— Yesterday the Liverpool coroner held an inquest on the body of • married woman named Winifred Brown. On the 4th instant she was perdu( along Silre:ter-street. At the time • carter named William Halewood, who was drunk, wee ill-treat ing two horses attached to a lowry of which he was in charge, by beating the animals about the head with a large piece of wood. This caused them to bolt from the road upon the foot walk. The leading horse came in contact ' with the deceased, who was knocked down, trampled upon, and received injuries that resulted in her death on Satur day. She had a child in her arms at the time the oxi dant occurred, and, strange to say, though it with her rolled beneath the horses' hoofs, it escaped uninjured. The jury returned a verdict of " Manslaughter" against Hale wood, who was committed for trial. CT LlVlAPOOL.—Yesterday (Mon day) the Liverpool coroner held an inroad on the body of a young man named Arthur Brook, who was a cooper in the employ of Messrs. Allison and Mayor, brewers, and who was mortally stabbed by Edward Bailey, butcher, 26 or 27 years of age. About 2 o'clock on Friday night last, • man named Richard Cropper met Balley.in Bevington- ' hill, and the latter said to Cropper, " I suppose you are one of them that's wine to kill the papists." Cropper re plied, " Nay, lad, for I am cad myself." Taking off his coat, Bailey made use of threatening language. Brook, with . other men who were employed with Cropper, hearing of this left an adjacent publiclense for the pur pose of Wong his part. Finding Bailey standing in front of Cropper in a fighting attitude, Brock went between them, a scuffle ensued, and Bailey, drawing • knife, GUILDHALL. stabbed Brock in the region of the heart, inflicting • wound Mr. Reed, an officer of the Provincial Union Asenrerioe of which the unfortunate fellow died.

On lgonday morning the wind had got round to the Nai.K, sad the temperature was 20 dap. lower ,• the thermouteter being 58 , the hero mete 30.10 inches. 'This would be Wier for the wheat crop. Our advice' received on that dayfrout Ocimersetahire stated: "We have had beautiful weather the lost four days. All speak well of the crop.. I think some of thou look too luxuriant, and must go down if we get wet weather in July." From Lincolnshire "Wheats in some parte look thin ; oats do not grow well." From Essex: "Reports of the growing crops still very favourable ; weather all that could be desired." On Tuesday the temperature was again lower, the thermometer down to 55 dogs., and wind blowing coolly from the N.R. Our advice from Suffolk stated: "The growing wheat crops look well and promising, end should the weather continue auspicious they will go on favourably. Spring crops are generally doing well." From Lancaster "We have experienced slightly changeable, but, upon the whole, semenable weather. All cereals show a healthy appear- ' eves In the ground ; but in our immediate vicinity we hear rioassional complaint, of the wireworus doing much damage to the wheat plant." From Northumberland our advice. rim thus " The weather has for the most part of late been fine, but cold since Saturday. Wind variable ; to-day east." From the East Riding of Yorkshire our amounts venom follow: " Weather continues remarkably fine for the season, being hot and forcing, more like Juno than the beginning of May. The growing crops look remarkably well, almost without exception, and prospects for the future are so far very en • g ; we are thus particular about weather as at present high rates it appears the barometer' of the trade, and although many changai may take place before the coming harvest is secured, it can- nos be denied but the future course of prices depends almost solely oa weather; as for supplies at present currency they are sure to be found." Wednesday was a fin* dry day and sunny at times, but the past nights had been cold ; wind still from the north east. From the west coast of Scotland it was stated :—" The weather has been frosty by night and warm by day." Thursday was a fine dry day, with a higher temperature. From Suffolk it was stated : —The weather during the past week has been fine and dry, with cold north-easterly winds, which have slightly checked the growing barleys." From the same county, near the coast :—" We continue to have dry weather, with cold nights ; but the glees is falling, and we may get some genial showers, with a warmer temperature, which will be highly beneficial" Friday was a fi ne dry day, with more sun, and again a higher temperature ; but the night ap peared to threaten a change, being cloudy, with an un settled appearance. Our advices from the West Riding of Yorkshire stated :—" We have had fine bright weather since my last, and the air rather more genial to-day, though the wind is still from the eastward. Farmers are now busy with their turnip and fallow land, and many of them with nothing left to sell." From Lincolnshire our amounts ran thus :—" Wheat grows promisingly, and decidedly forward ; but barley in many instances has suffered from the high winds and sharp frosty nights ; and in the fen districts the oats are looking indifferently, but, aa is always the case, east winds and sharp frosts are not favourable for peaty soils. Rain would now be beneficial to the growing mope, and do no harm to the turnip-land, which is getting in a forward state. Wheat markets are dull, but the amount in farmer's bands is wonderfully small." On Saturday morning the wind had got round to the S.W., after some nice genial min in the past night. The day, however, held up, with the thermo meter at 6.5 deg.. in the afternoon ; but the barometer was down to 29.80 inches, indicating a further fall of moisture. The accounts are thus cheering, and the various advice, of favourable prospects have evidently had the usual e ff ect on the minds of the buyers ; for no one will purchase beyond what is wanted for immediate use, and should anything of en untoward turn take place in the harvest prospects, all will be immediate and anxious buyers, rushing to supply themselves as speedily as pos sible. —Mark-lane Express. PEERAGES AND BARONETCHSE.—A return has been published of the peerages and baronetcies which have been created or conferred from the commencement of the session of 1852 to the present time, and stating also the names of the prime ministers in office when those honours were granted. From this return we find that in 1852, during the administration of the Earl of Derby, three peerages and three baronetcies were created ; m 1863-4, during the government of Lord Aberdeen, the honours conferred were confined to two baronetcies. In the following administration, that of Lord Parnassian, which began in 1865 and ended in 1858, there was a con siderable accession to the upper ranks, consisting of twelve peers snd eleven baronets. Lord Derby, who succeeded Lord' Palmerston in the latter year, and remained in office till the year following also swelled the list during that short term by the addition of eleven peers and thirteen baronets. Lord Palmerston returned to office in 18.59, and retained the premiership until 1864, daring which period fifteen peerages and nine barenstaies were created. The year 1865 appears to have been a blank so fares regards the royal conferment of dignities ; but this interregnum seems to have been amply compensated for in the two following years, for, during a part of 1866, while Earl Russell was in office, eleven peerages and twelve baronetcies were con ferred by the crown ; and during Earl Derby's administra tion, which began the same year and ended towards the close of 1867, the titled ranks were further increased by the addition of twelve peers and twelve baronets. Dur ing the government of Ilr. Disraeli no new honours have been granted but it has remained for the present premier to complete the last four patents granted by Lord Derby. Summing up this return it appears that since 1852, sixty-four peerages and sixty-two baronetcies have been conferred by the Queen on the recommendation of her responsible advisers ; and of these, thirty-eight peerages and thirty-four baronetcies were granted during liberal, and twenty-six peerages and twenty-eight baronetcies during conservative, administrations. Daring the period, however, over which these returns extend, the conservative government was only in office fire years, whereas the liberals held the administration for thirteen. HOSPITAL FOR SICK CHlLDREN.—Yesterday the sixteenth annual meeting of governors was held at the hospital, in Great Ormond-street, W.C., the Hon. A. Kin naird, M.P., in the chair. The report states that the ac commodation of the existing premises is limited to 75 beds, and that in-patients were received last year from 17 counties besides London, although owing to repairs, the number was not so large as in 1866. The out-patients of the year numbered 12,574, or 1,038 more than in 1866. The receipts from donations and subscriptions amounted to 6,153/., and the ordinary expenditure to 4,9001. Legacies amounting to 8191. were also received, and the total income from all sources had enabled the committee to add2,oool. odd to the invested funds, which now amount to 15,0001. They intend to take steps shortly to extend the benefits of the institution to a larger number of children by the formation of a country branch within easy reach of London by the purchase of adjoining pre ' Male, which can be made available for the hospital staff, and the ultimate erection of • new building, with all modern improvements of arrangement and ventilation. Her Majesty and the royal family continue to take a warm interest in the snocess of the hospital, and the Princess of Wales and the Princess Christian have permitted their names to be added to the list of vice-presidents. The report and accounts were unanimously weed and votes of thanks awarded to the executive and medical staff, as as wages to the chairman for presiding. BRITISH ORPHAN ASYLUM.—Last night the forty-second anniversay festival of this charity was cele brated at the City . Terminus Hotel, Cannon-street ; the Bishop of Ripon in the chair. There was • large at tendance. including many ladies. There is ample accommodation for about 220 children, while the number now within the home is 175, 108 boys and 67 girls, who are the eons and daughters of clergymen, naval and mili tary officers, solicitor', merchants, and traders of the b* heat respectability. The annual income at present is only about 2,2001. from subscriptions, and 5001. from in terest on the small invested capital, while the expenditure is unavoidably equal to about 6,0001. per annum. Increased liberality is therefore needed, and the right rev. bishop, in advocating the claimed the asylum on public sympathy, made an appeal to those who are in affluence for increased annual support to enable the directors to maintain this most useful national institution. During the evening • subscription of over 1,0001. was announced. ANOTHER LADY AT APOTHECARIES . -HALL.—MPL Isabel Thorne, of 18, Charles-street, Groevenor-square, /resented herself for the anent aria examination at hall, in company with 66 ger.tlemen. Out on! . 6 c r iel eandidates 47 passed. Mrs. Thorne came out among the first six, and her papers were se excellent that the usual rare wee examination was dimpensed with. Last May Mrs. Thorne finished the curriculum at the Ladies' Medical College, in Fitzroy-square, by carrying off double first honours in the medical and obstetrical *lasses. She has since been practising with marked success as an acooseketue and will continue to do so. Two prisoners who were awaiting their trial in Carlisle gaol escaped on Sundey morning by means of a ladder and rope. One of the two, however, fell and hurt himself, so that he was soon taken and the other after making his way woes the river Eden, waa captured in about three boars. Tux ROYAL HOSPITAL FOR DMUS'S!!
