IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. ROUSE OF LORDS.-FRIDAY, Ju' 19. IN the ilouss of Limns yesterday, Lord &RAT roNn LE REIM:LIFE; at the request of the Earl of Derby, withdrew the motivn of which he had given notice, expressing the indignation of the house at the t•xeention of the Emperor Maximilian. The Marquis of TOWNSFILND moved the second rending of the Industrial S.rhoe:b Lill. but it was opposed by the Earl of Devon, and withdrawn. Sir J. Pores Charity Bill was read a sooond time. The Earl of DERBY stated, in reply to a ques tion, that the government had remonstrated with the Spanish government as to the mode in which the trial of the crew of the Tornado had been con ducted in the Spanish courts, and in consequence the trial had been declared null and void, and a new trial had been ordered. The Duke of AROYLL complained of the defects in .'ur international law, which allowed ships to be built for belligerent purposes, and to be sent out colourably under the British fag. Earl Rumitti. asked the Colonial secretary whe ther his attention had been called to remarks made by Mr. Purcell, a stipendiary magistrate in Jamaica, upon the charge of Chief Justice Cm:l.:burn on the caws of General Nelson. The observations of Mr. Purcell were abusive, and were highly indecorous on the part of a gentleman who was about to fill the office of judge. Lord Metvitts complained of the tone of Chief Juatice Cockburn's charge, which he said was both partial and unjust. The Duke of Bucatiscium said the government were of opinion that Mr. Purcell had displayed a want of decorum, and they had recommended the government of Jamaica to cancel his appoint ment. The Loan CHANCELLOR strongly censured the language which had been used by Mr. Purcell, which was quite sufficient to justify the govern ment in withholding from him the appointment of district judge for which he had been nomi nated ; anti said he deeply regretted the terms in which Lord Melville had referred to the charge of the Lord Chief Justice, which was a moat able ex position of the law. Lord CRANWORTH also defended Sir A. Cock burn, and remarked that if he had been guilty of the conduct imputed to him ho ought to be im peached at the bar of that house. The Earl of SHREWSBURY advised their lordships before forming a final judgment upon the case to read an answer which had been published to the charge of the Lord Chief Justice. The subject then dropped. The Merchant Shipping Bill and the Patriotic Fund Bill were read a third time and passed, and several other bills were forwarded a stage. Their lordships adjourned at a quarter past 7 o'cicck. HOUSE OF OOMMONS.—FRIDAY, JULY 19. IN the 110081 of COMMONS Mr. Cosec, in repiy to Mr. Samuda, who had inquired why the fleet did not leave its anchorage and perform the evolutions contemplated in the programme of the naval review, stated that the Admiralty were most anxious that the ships should have weighed anchor, but as this would have been attended with great risk in such weather and in so narrow a channel, they made a signal that this should not be done. The Commander-in-Chief and Captain Maitland entirely concurred in the propriety of this decision. On the order of the day for going into committee of supply, Colonel Simms called attention to the suspension of storm warnings, and moved that it is inexpe dient, in consequence of that suspension, to con tinue the present arrangement with that committee, which now costs the country 10,000/. a year. A great proportion of these predictions, he said, turned out to be correct, and they were greatly appreciated by fishermen. Mr. CAVE said the Royal Society considered that the data upon which these warnings were based were insufficient and unreliable. After some further discussion, in the course of which Mr. M. GIBSON and Mr. CsanweLt expressed a hope that so much of the prognostications withre gard to coming storms as could safely berelied upon sho-Ald continuo to be sent out, the motion was withdrawn. Mr. HIADLAY called attention to the papers concerning the destruction of the ship Mermaid by a shot from a Spanish fort, off the coast of Africa. The Mermaid, he said, was a trader, and she was quietly pursuing her voyage through the Straits of Gibraltar on the 16th of October, 1864. when she was fired at because she had no flag flying. She hoisted the Hag immediately, but she was fired at again by a &hotted gun, and was hit in the hull, and frofn the effect, of that &hot she sank, but not before a third shot was tired. He moved that, in the opinion of the house, tho demand on the Spanish government was just, and ought not to have been withdrawn. Lord Srsinav said the Spanish government rested their cue on the evidence of their own offi cers. In his opinion the case for compensation was just, but the Spanish government refused to admit that it was so, and denied that there was any in tention to destroy! the vessel. There were only two courses to pursue—to let the claim rest for a while or to enforce it. It could be enforced only in two ways, by breaking off diplomatic intercourse or by =King reprisals. The first was an inadequate re medy, it inflicted no injury. Then if they were to make reprisals, that would lead to war, and he did not think that in a war for such a cause they would be supported by the public opinion either of this country or of kurope. If, however, a number of these cases occurred, they would assume a different aspect. Mr. NEATE thought it would have been difficult to have given a more unsatisfactory answer, or ore which placed the country in a more undignified position. After some observations from Sir It. Peel, Mr. Egerton, and Mr. M. Gibson, the latter of whom said a treaty was concluded with Spain in 1865 that vessels should not in future be required to show their flags on passing Spanish forts, and that this kind of thing therefore could not occur again, the motion was withdrawn. Mr. 13. B. SHERIDAN complained of the manner in which the tickets had been distributed for the state entertainment to be given to the Sultan by the Indian government. He submitted that the two houses of parliament might to have been in vited, and moved for a list of the persons who had beeninvited. Mr. Fawearr protested against the cost of such entertainments being defrayed out of the taxes of India. Mr. CLAY opposed the motion. The house was cleared for a division, but the motion was negatived without. Mr. WIIALLIIY complained of the conduct of the Birmingham magistrates in reference to protestant lecturers ; and Mr. M'Evoy of the alleged unequal operation of the Prison Discipline Act ; and after some observations on the latter subject by Mr. Maguire, Mr. Dl'Laren, and Dr. Brady, The house went into committee of supply, and several votes were taken for the colonial, consular, and other foreign services. The Court of Appeal Chancery (Despatch of Bu siness) Bill passed through committee. The Railway and Joint Stock Companies Ac counts Bill was withdrawn. The Investment of Trust Funds Bill, the Dogs Reculation (Ireland) Act Amendment Bill, and the Master and Servant Bill were respectively read a third time and passed. The house adjourned at six o'clock. It ‘ri.WAT AND O.THIR BILLS BEFORE PARLIAIIZN?. —Yesterday very little business wee transacted before the mirliamentary committees upon railway and other private bills. In the House of Lords, in Lord Reileedale's com mittee there was only one bill, vim—that of the earner. vonshire Railway, which Wig passed through sad ordered by their lordships to be reported. In the House of Com mons yesterday there was only one bill, which was that of the (treat Eutern Railway (Finance) Re-committed Bill. The committee proceeded with the further consideration of the till, and having pared it through it was ordered to be reported. THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 20, 1867. glass. This reflected the uniforms, the ladies' gay dresses, the flowers, shrubs, and conservatories, in a highly effective manner. It is impossible to mention the names of all the distinguished visi tors, but we observed the Bishop of Lon don, Mrs. Tait, Mrs. Gladstone and two Misses Gladstone, Earl Harrowby, the Earl and Countess Granville, Mr. Beresford Hope, Lord Lyttelton, Mr. Otway, M.P., Mr. W. E. Forster, M.P., Sir Roderick Murchison, Dean and Lady Augustus Stanley, the Lord Mayor, and the late Lord Mayor. The Prince of Wales had promised to come, but after the reception pro per had been delayed for an hour, it was un derstood he had sent to say that he was prevented at the last moment. Although this did not mar the pleasure of the afternoon it created considerable disappointment, and nowhere more than along the route, where many had waited for bourn to see the novelty of royalty in Cam den or Kentish Town. Other members of the royal family, however, came, to be wel comed warmly wherever they were recognised, whether in the streets or on the grounds. The Duchess of Cambridge, Prince Teck, and the Princess Mary Adelaide, the Grand Duke and Duchess of Mecklenburg-Strelitr, and with them the Duke of Aosta and his new bride arrived early in private carriages. M. Van de Weyer and the Marquis d'Azeglio were likewise present. When it was apparent that the Prince of Wales was not coming, the Belgians who had been kept in line below were ordered to march, and they pro oeeded along one of the walks four abreast. They came with all the glory of band and drum, and at quick step. The royal and distinguished visitors stationed themselves in the balcony to see the march past, and Miss Coutts and one or two per sonal friends stood on the cottage steps to welcome her guests. Amongst the groups upon the lawn near were two of the Sultan's suite. The Chasseurs were first, the Garde Civique next, and the artillery next. The march was performed wider full sunshine, and the corps looked imposing and handsome. When the colonel of the Garde Civique passed the steps he deviated from the line and pre sented Mies Coutts with a huge bouquet brought from Ghent especially for her. The men doubled round a second walk that slanted across the lawn, and then marched to the dinner tents, where the burgomasters and officers without troops were already seated. A slight delay occurred in conse guenee of the desire of the Belgians not to com mence dinner until Miss Coutts had arrived at a small tent where the programme stated she would receive an address ; but as the non-appearance of the Prince of Wales seemed to have disarranged a few secondary details, the repast was commenced at her request without the carrying out of this part of the proceedings. Of meat, drink, fruit, and champagne there was enough and to spare on the tables, to say nothing of the reserve which Mr. Gunter had in an adjoining tent. During the meal Miss Coutts walked through the tents, and was loudly cheered by the Belgians. It might be added that the small tent referred to was the one from which the Queen fired the first shot at Wimbledon. After dinner the royal visitors, with Lord Gran ville, Miss Coutts, and many members of the English reception committee, repaired to the centre tent. Earl Granville here fluently ad dressed the Belgians in French, welcoming them in the name of Miss Coutta to Holly lodge. The noble earl spoke in the highest terms of the hostess, who, he said, deserved the Order of Leopold and the Victoria Cross. During his sub sequent remarks he said England and Belgium had historic ties, and the two countries, although they differed, resembled each other ; they competed sometimes as conquerors, sometimes as vanquished ; in all that concerned commerce they were rivals in all the markets of the world ; they both loved industry, order, and peace ; they possessed in com mon a love of liberty and independence. These remarks were received with vociferous cheering, the Belgians having been throughout unable to express their delight at the graceful terms and cordial language which the noble speaker used. Loud cheers for Miss Coutts, for England, and for Lord Granville, followed. The Belgian com mandant, Colonel Gregoire, thanked Miss Coutts for her "splendid reception," which he said was another added to • list of magnificent entertain ments which they would never forget. The health of Miss Coutts was here drank. In a few words Prince Teck proposed " The Health of the King and Queen of the Belgians"—the toast being of course applauded to the echo. M. Mertens, one of the popular interpreters among the riflemen, made an earnest appeal for aid towards the funds of the Society for the Relief of Belgians in Distress in this country, and the appeal was so well timed that, at the suggestion of Major Andrimont the Belgians agreed each to give five out of the fifty francs he had deposited as a guarantee before leaving for this country. After half an hour's lounge the corps were marched off the ground, some to attend the concert at Islington, others to disperse at their pleasure. Some of the visitors wandered about the grounds, enjoying the charming nooks and shady walks, fragrant with rose, honeysuckle, lemon, pink, and other old-fashioned but always welcome garden favourites. Whoever had the mapping out of the flte arrangements deserves sincere thanks, and we believe Mr. W. H. Wills is the gentleman to whom those thanks are due. Everything passed off hap pily, and the march of the volunteers back to Cam den-town was a progress of jollity, the corps sing ing alternately • verse of our National Anthem and a stanza of the Brabanconne. There was as much cheering and excitement along the road as before. During the proceedings at Holly-lodge there was a musical entertainment, in which, under the direction of Mr. Wrighton, Mr. Fielding, Mr. Young, Mr. Wilbye Cooper, Mr. Montem Smith, Mr. F. Walker, and Mr. Chaplin Henry, with the choir of the Highgate Grammar-school, took part. The band of the Coldstream Guards, under Mr. F. Godfrey, and • police band played in the grounds. The following committee assisted Miss Coetta :—Lord Sandon, Sir Massey Lopes, Bart., M.P., Mr. John Abel Smith, M.P., Mr. Jervoise Smith, M.P., Honourable General Upton, Mr. Henry Wellesley, Mr. R. C. Antrobus, Mr. U. Kay Shuttleworth, Mr. W. H. Wills, Mr. J. Hassard, Rev. Dr. Dyne, Rev. C. B. Dalton, Mr. Elliot Grasett, Colonel Wilkinson, Mr. Otway, M. P., Mr. H. Wagner, Captain Thomson, Rev. F. R. Stooks, Mr. Lopes, &c. (in all twenty gentle men), and about fifty-six young gentlemen from the Cholmeley or Highgate School. By these the general company were arranged, and the route within the grounds kept. The twenty gen tlemen wore blue and white ribbons and the Belgian colours ; and the young gen tlemen from the Highgate School wore the Belgian colours, and a dark blue ribbon each. THE BELGIANS AT HOLLY LODGE. Unless the review at Wimbledon to-day turns out to be superlatively pleasant, the Belgian rifle men will mark yesterthsy with red letters when they record their visit to this country. They have haJ official receptions in civic hall mid tented field, but their crowning treat has been the private wel come of a lady whom all England delights to honour. Miss Burdett Coutta and her enviable retreat at Highgate will not easily be forgotten by our soon departing visitors ; and we ourselves have had another proof that her qualities as a hostess are no less powerful than her merits as a philanthropist. St. Swithin for one day forgot his mission ; and although once or twice he seemed to be struggling with his better nature, the threatened downpour was kept back, and the sun was allowed to smile away his gloom. The locality was also calculated to exercise a favourable influ ence upon the day; so was the time fixed for the fte. What with the Alhambra and Leicester square in the' west, and Gravesend and Guildhall in the east, a visit to the north-west presented itself to the Belgians in the light of an exploring expedition ; and what period could be more grate ful for a quiet tramp away from town into the gentle surroundings of country than the day succeed ing the revels of the Agricultural-hall, which we are assured on the authority of most faithful chroniclers were kept up till daylight did appear ? Kentish-town is not generally favoured with a due share of the gaieties and excitements of the metro polis, and Highgate-road unfortunately is more familiar with processions of sadness than of joy. The irhabitanta hailed yesterday, therefore, as a break in the monotony, and morning beheld them trying to follow the lead of more pretentious dis tricts in that work of street decoration which has been the Londoner's dream during the past fortnight. And we may, without fear of contradiction, say that when the Belgians declare Mies Coutts's flite to be the chief of the whole series, they will also have to acknowledge in the same breath, that, taking the whole route from the Albany Barracks to Holly Lodge, Camden-town bore off the palm in the earnestness and thorough ness of its out-door demonstrations. From the York and Albany to the Redcap, from the Redcap to the end of Kentish-town-road, and thence to the end, there was no gap in the smart adorning, of houses and shops. In Park-street especially the flags were noticeable ; at one point a power ful Oddfellows', or some other friendly society, having turned out of their jealously guarded resting places the painted silk banners for which they are famous. Belgian flags, English flags, American flags, and even Turkish flags, mingled with the miscellaneous bunting of no nation at all, and in such profusion that a stranger might have been pardoned for fancying he had dropped down into a seaport town by mistake. Perhaps it was the friendly sun, or perhaps the favouring breeze, but certainly from some cause the fluttering properties of the inhabitants of the locality shook out their folds more jauntingly, and told their meaning more plainly and cheerfully than the majority of the decorations we have lately been in the habit of seeing. The Belgians mustered in Albany-street bar racks, somewhat irregularly, soon after noon, and if fine fellows like the cavalry who inhabit those quarters are capable of being jealous, they had abundant cause to exercise that quaint human attribute. When the Guards parade on common days, albeit there are horses to look at as well as men, their most numerous admirers are nursemaids and boys; but yesterday the barrack gates were besieged, and Regent's-park, the idlers' fa vourite lounging place, was empty. The muster included the usual evolutions—drum-rolls, trumpet calls, short marches, falling into line and out again, and facing all ways without any apparent object. By about two o'clock the order was given to start, and led by their band, which had fre quently played the two national anthems, they set out on their march, with about two hundred of the North Middlesex Volunteers acting as pioneers. Perpetual cheers and waving of white handkerchiefs by rich and poor com menced as soon as the advance had cleared the corner of Albany-street, and did not cease until the houses became more scanty at Highgate. At the junction of the four roads at the Redcap the crowds were packed in thousands, and several waggons and carts were placed in convenient spots for the accommodation of those who felt inclined to pay for so slight a rise in the world. The corps swung along into Kentish-town road, as if fully aware that they had at length an opportunity of letting us see how shining their plumes and ac coutrements could be if weather gave them a reasonable chance. With all the crowd, however, and with the aid of a minimum quantitiof police, the traffic did not seem in the least obstructed. Kentish-town road shut up most of its shops, and revealed the owners with a holiday gathering of friends stationed at the windows and on the balconies and pavements, nerv ous with expectation and voluble with praise. The young ladies " made signs" to the riflemen with hand and countenance in a manner that might have been dangerous with more im pressionable youths, while the elders, instead of frowning down such proceedings, looked on as if the rites of hospitality were being most religiously observed. Even in Highgate, with its dozens of genteel boarding schools, there was no abatement of this free feminine bearing. The estimable heads of the establishments had embellished their house fronts regardless of trouble, and two or three awed the ignorant by exhibiting pretty devices with real French mottoes upon them. Half holiday reigned supreme evidently, for blooming damsels also appeared upon the scene with gleeful faces. Further on, when all signs of trade had been left behind, save at an occasional inn, the households did not withhold their pre. sence, but came out, masters, mistresses, and ser vants, amongst the shrubs and flowers, to remain until the rear guard had disappeared. The hour's march wss, therefore, in spite of Highgate Rise, a merry and triumphant one. Holly Lodge is generally spoken of as a cottage, and such it is in the beat sense of the word—quiet, cosy, and in the midst of grounds that the most scrupulous law-obeyer could hardly fail to covet. " Not wholly in the busyworld"—for, in truth, the hourrnay here occasionallybe read from the clock of St. Stephen's--it is nevertheless sufficiently removed from it to enable one to hear the distant din with out feeling the crowd. It is just such a place as such a lady as the hostess might be expected to live in. The neatly trimmed walks and level lawns were yesterday trodden by over 2,000 armed men, but without interfering with the peaceful character of the place, and we very much doubt whether a shillings worth of damage was done within the long enclosure of palings. At the end of the descending grounds the encampment was tired—one large tent to seat 1,200 men, and two smaller ones to seat 600 each, besides minor marquees for commissariat purposes. Away to the right there is an eminence known to this day as Traitor's Hill, because the com panions of Guy Fa ux were said to have waited there to aid in his escape when he had finished the little project he had in hand in Westminster on a certain 6th of November. On the spot where those conspirators waited and watched centuries ago we stood yesterday to witness the movements of the holiday folks who came to meet the Belgians, and a pretty sight it was, as all who saw it acknowledged —Belgian riflemen and English volunteers mingling together amidst " the tall ancestral trees" of one of those " free fair homes " which they wore raised to defend. It was an " at home" yesterday at Holly-lodge. The Belgians reached the grounds and entered them at the lower end shortly after 3 o'clock, but for an hour before carriages had been rolling along the approaches, bearing fashionable visitors to Miss Coutts. Nearly a thousand were invited, in addition to the riflemen. The visitors who came to the lawn party arrived at the higher entrance, and were kindly welcomed by the hostess. A guard of honour of the Tottenham, Hampstead, and Hornsey rifles were drawn up in the main walk, and at the end of the walk, crossing it at right angles, there stood a large rustic bower, the entire beck of which had been plated with mirror- THE AGRICULTURAL HALL. Last night a concert was given at the Agricul tural-hall, professedly in honour of the Begian visitors, comparatively few of whom, however, were observable among the large audience, which nearly filled the vast building. The performances, which were to have com menced at eight o'clock, did not begin until more than half an hour later, owing to some delay in the internal arrangements of the hall ; the pressure outside some of the entrances being con siderable from the throngs accumulated before the doors were opened. The interior of the hall presented the same aspect as at the ball of the previous night—the illuminations and decorations of Messrs. Refries being re tained from that occasion. The concert was divided into two parts—the first commencing with Weber's " Jubilee" overture, the second with that to Auber's Diarolo, played by a full orchestra selected from the bands of Her Majesty's Theatre, the Philharmonic Society, fcc. The special feature of the programme was a new choral hymn, "A Volunteer Greeting," composed for the occa sion by Mr. Benedict to the following words by Mr. H. B. Feral° : 'Reath the Rig of freedom we rally ! Come from the anvil, come from the loom. From city's heart, from bill and valley, Conte ! for you all In our ranks thero's room. Peasant and peer, and high and low, From dyke and Alp, and from Rhenish Aare Come and lolls in our anthem holy ; War oa war-1111 1t be so mote r Are the nations In apathy lying! And are the war. worn people all dumb? 310, like a trumpet-blast replying, Thunders the yoke " We come, we come !" Hall! brothers be our ensigns blended. Hand struck In hand with a friendly blow, That is ltoglish noon comprehended, Heart to heart—hand-In-hand we'll go ' 'fill no lousier the world shall be glouning With the Ileme light and splendour of war, Till o'er the nations gently (warning, Peace riseth like a herald star ! Brothers! In arms and souls united, Wort we and Walt, till on ev'ry shore Justice triumph—till wrong be righted. Till the earth study war no more' Mr. Benedict's music is a bold and vigorous piece of choral writing, with a clearly defined melody in the style of a national song (" volkslied "), and in March tem 0 ; with effective orchestral accompaniment. Its performance (conducted by the composer) elicit-d loud and long applause, the last verse being repeated. The programme in:hided various vocal solos by Madame Ruderadorff, Mdlle. Liebhart, Madame Sainton Dolby, Miss L. Pyne, Miss Julia Derby, Mr. Sims Reeves, Mr. Cummings, Mr. Weiss, and Mr. Lewis Thomas. Mr. Reeves sang with great effect the Romance " M'appari," from Flotow's Marfa, the Irish ballad Norah, the Pride of Kil dare, and the great war song from Judas Maccaleus, "Sound an alarm," each of which was received with enthusiastic applause ; an encore of the ballad being responded to by "My Pretty Jane. " The encores in other instances were too numerous to specify. Besides vocal solos there were several choral pieces by the chorus of Mr. G. W. Martin's National Choral Society, including the National Anthem, the Belgian National Hymn, Mr. Martin's own " Volunteer's Choral March," &c. There were also instrumental solos, conspicuous among which was Madame Arabella Goddard's brilliant pianoforte playing in Thalberg's Fantasia on " The last Rose of Summer." Other solos were given by Herr Nagy on a diminutive instrument, the " Schisms" of the Hungarian Shepherds, a small pipe made from cane, pierced with five holes—by Mons. Pique, on the violoncello ; and Mr. Levy, on the cornet. Between the parts of the concert the prismatic fountains were ex hibited cs on the occasion of the ball. *purling 'intelligence. STAMFORD RACEB.—FIIIDay. Prior to the commencement of the racing to-day Meagre Tattersall disposed c.l the brood mares of the late Marquis s Exeter at the Wothope paddocks. The shots, of the lots, twenty-six In number, were sold, but one or two were par chased for the present Lord of Burghley. Among others was Pocahontas, the dam of Stockwell, King Tom. and Ratapton, who was bought In for ten guineas. She is thirty years of age. Knight of St. Patrick was also bought in for L 1,150. There was • numerous attendance of breeders and trainers. In oonsequence of there being a probability of the sale not con cluding before one o'clock racing was not Axed to commence until half-past one o'clock, at which hour Frtpounier walked over for the Eighth Wothope Biennial Stakes. The atten dance to-day was quite as numerous as on the preceding day, bat the weather was not go favourable. The majority of the racing vbitors were not able to get away by the a 25 express train, so late was the order °trawling fixed, and • " special" had to be ran one hour after the last race was run. The Duke of Newcastle and the partisans of the stable woe • large stake by the victory of Bismarck in the Clifeden Cup, the Duke himself accepting three monkeys from Mr. Steel. The Marquis of Hastings also took 1,000 to 400. The bookmakers were likewise heavy losers over the Stamford Cup, as Lecturer was backed for a lot of money. Independent of having three commissioners in the market the Marquis laid 1,300 to Sea on his horse. The Scum handicap produced • close and exciting race, the result being a dyad-heat between Ganymede and Young Lord, whilst the favourite, Paetaioon, was only beaten • bead from the pair. The other races call for no especial comment. THE EROOND YEAR 0?

Then there was • lull, the bowl ing got steadier, and several maiden' followed. When 40 were telegraphed. Hewitt, the left.handed Middlesex howler went on, in place of Mantle, and with the last ball of his first over he bowled down Humphrey's leg stomp ; 3 for 41. Mr. Noble made • fine oft drive fm 4, oft Mr. H. D. Walker, and the following ball be hit straight into the hands of Mr. Jupp at cover point. Mr. Noble's 22 included one five, one fonr, one three, end three twos-4 for 45. Mortlock was now faced by Feeley, the former before he had scored being splendidly caught by Mantle (applause) 5 for 46 -leggin in Mr. Collyer. and Immediately after the Surrey wicket keeper was caught at slip by Hewitt, In hitting to I,g-03 for 49. A good off drive for four was Stephenson's first Item ; be then " cracked " Hewitt away to leg for guar, which caused him to retire to favour of Mantle, but his first ball 11. 11. drove to long on for four, and the score kept creeping up till as on the tablet. Mr. D. Walker's bowling, and the litrese d x Belding generally, were of a high clam. At 8,3 Hewitt received a comWmion to go on at Mr. Walker's end and then Mr. Collyer put one of Howitt's up, which Mr. Jupp, the long stop, nearly made a catch of. Stephenson got a hearty cheer for the " hit of the match, a splendid square leg lunge for six off Mantle. In Howltes next over one popped up, and 0. Hearne (who gave the wicket • wide berth) caught Stephenson several yards in the rear. Stephenson's 16 were put together In his beat form, and that is no mean praise, and included one six, four fours, a two, de. Exactly 50 had been added to the score by this pair of bats, out of which H. H. had contributed 38 by one six, four fours, and a two, rte.-7 for W. Newell joined Mr. Collyer, who made a late cut for 3, and batted is excellent form ; when the total was fabled to 108, Sewell was caught by Mr. Brune at told-off, making way for Street, A very smart bit of Belding by Mr. Cator very nearly despatched him at once; after making two, he was clean bowled by Mantle-9 for 110. The surrey team was wound up by Bouthetton and then Mr. R. D. Walker had another try at his old wicket, and with the last ball of the second over he bowled and caught Mr. Colber. who went in filth wicket down, and played another good innings of 22, including two threes and three twos. The Innings closed at 1.35, the total being 116, or 25 to the had. The Middlesex bowling was as follows i—Mr. It. D. Walker, 36 overt, 20 maidens, for 37 runs and 4 wickets Mantle, 37 ovals. 20 maidens, for 45 runs end 4 wickets Hewitt. B 3 oven. 12 maidens, for 30 runs and Y wickets. The fall of the wickets was as under : One for 0, two for 10, three for 41, four for 45, live far 46, six for 40, seven for 99, eight for 10s, nine for 110, and ten for 110. In due course Middlesex again entrusted Messrs. Wilkinson and G. H. Japp with the custody of the wickets, Southertoo and Griffith leading the attack. The slows of Soothed.* were evi dently distasteful to Mr. Wilkinson, and Oftelth was in capital form. At the end of a quarter of an hour the latter gave way to Street, and two avers later Mr. Jupy drove Southerton just wide et the wicket, and the ball Doanded Over the fence Into the Great Northern Railway cutting, for which form booked, and it took some time to end the Data. At II Sewell went on vice Souther. ton : a shooter from Sewell bowled Mr. Wllkinson's leg stump out of the ground, after playing a very careful Innings--one for 30. George Hearne succeeded to the vacancy, and after making 4 through the slips he was driven on to Ws wicket by Sewell— ! for 34. Mr. It. D. Walker Joined Mr. Jvp, who got a well merited cheer for a sweet cut to the fence ter 4. At 48 Sewell changed ends, and floutherton resumed his former wicket. and in the hater's drat over Mr. K. D. weal stumped after making 8— three for 49. Tom Hearne now joined Mr. Jupp, and hopes were entertained that be would " stay," as he drove Sewell very finely to the off for 4. (Cheers.) Then he made a rare forward drive for a off Southerton, which nearly cut Mr. Jupp off his legs, he made two more, mid then hit one beck to Sewall (very warm , , which the Runny bowler secured amidst cheers-3 for 60. Mr. I. D. Walker, who followed, evidently was not at home with Souther ton's "curly" ones—lndeed, there was no one in the Middlesex eleven who could "play" him half so well as Mr. Jupp, whose general defence and back play especially were excellent. Mr. I. D. Walker tried a "fancy bit," helping Southerton on. The score was augmented to 90 when Sewell gays way to Griffith. and then it was that Mr. Jupp gave his first fair chance—a catch at the wicket, which was availed of. It was 10 minutes to when Mr. Jupp went out, so that he had been at the wickets fi hours, obtaining his 47 by one five, three fours, two threes, and three twos, all well got, and proving indisputably that be pos sesses all the elements of a first-clam cricketer, and there can be no doubt he will prove a great &Notation to his county. The brothers I. D. and V. E.t Maker now did good service, as they always do to their side, and at 106 Soutberton once more went on, and by steady and good play the score got up to 190, when Sewell went on, and got Mr. J. D.'s wicket with the very first ball. Mr. Catorilet go at one of Southerton's, which bowled him clean, and Mantle joined Mr. V. E. Walker. He soon got Into double tigurea, and then was stumped off Southerton. Mr. Bruce was caught at the wicket, and it being within a few minutes of " time,' the stumps were drawn—Middlesex having lost nine wickets for 148 runs— Howett having to go in. Play will be resumed this morning at 11.50. (Gfivertnnien) Y. NOlTllolllllllLiND.—Thismatch was finished yesterday at Lonl's Ground.

The charge sheets p;eeenteaeithisieliee-court - Testerds. from the city divisions of police exhibited the activity witff which the professional pickpockets bad practised their occupation on the occasion of the transit through the City of his Imperial Highness the Sultan to Guildhall for the civic entertainment on the previous evening. The list sub mitted to the adjudication of the presiding magistrate, Alderman Sir It. W. Carden, comprised no leas than J 7 eases, the principal actors in which had been secured under the excellent arrangements made by Mr. Inspector Hamilton, of the Cit detective force, which were fully carried out by his en te, but mast active officers. The cases themselves presented no features of novelty, inasmuch as for the most part the o ff enders were captured in the commission of the acts imputed to them, and they were visited with sentences varying from one month to three months' imprisonment with nerd labour in the House of Correction. Three cases, however, of old offenders, were remanded, with a view to the formal proof of their antecedeots. Alderman Sir R. W. Carden, at the close of the pro tracted proceedings of the day, took occasion to remark that the cases which had been brought before him were • specimen of the depredations committed on the public on the occasion of that which he might call a public festivity, but how many more who had escaped detection it was im possible tory ; as ft was he must say that the greatest credit was due Loth' police for their mid, activity, and judgment. THAMES. Mr. David Erlicartkof Royal Mint-street, better known as Rosemary-lane, Whiteohapel, came before Mr. Paget, with his wife, Mary Ann Edwards, to complain of the conduct of a police-constable named John /time, of the If division, for assaulting Mrs. Edwards. Mr. Edwards was before the magistrate on a former day and made a long statement. He was directed to attend again and bring his wife with him. Their united statements may be thus summed up. A few weeks since Mr. Edwards was return ing from a club, of which he is secretary, with his wife and another married couple. They were parting, and saying "good night" to each other at the corner of Leman-street and Rosemary-lane, when a policeman came up and looked at them. One of the party, • German, and member of the club, facetiously said, " I think you had better lock up one of the ladies." The policeman immediately said, lf you don't get oat of this I will lock you all up, for you are nothing but a lot of street-walkers." Mr. Edwards said, " I beg your pardon, we are respectable tradesmen." The police-constable said, " I don't care if you are a thousand times respectable tradesmen." One of the party said, "He pays for your coat to protect us." The policeman made use of some more bad language and abuse. They threatened to report the constable to the inspector at the station-house. The whole party proceeded towards the station-house in Leman. street, and upon reaching the door Mr. Edwards looked behind him to see if his wife was following. At that moment the policeman Kiron rushed upon Mrs. Edwards and took her into custody. She asked him what he meant, and he forced her arms behind her, dragged her shawl off, and hurt very much. Another policeman was then called to assist Kiron in taking her into the station-house, and she was placed in the dock. Inspector Dendy asked what was the charge against her, to which he replied, "For walking the streets." Inspec tor Deady said it was no offence to walk the streets, and that Mrs. Edwards could not be locked up for that. The inspector discharged Mrs. Edwards, and reprimanded the policeman for hie officiousness. Mr. Paget said the transaction took place on the Bth of June, and inquired the cause of the delay in making this application. Mr. Edwards said he bad now to relate the most extra ordinary part of thelaffair.l He wrote to the Commissioners of Police at Scotland-lard on the 11th of June, and received • reply that due inquiries would be made. He waited another month without receiving any further information from the commissioners. He wrote again, and was re ferred to the magistrate. Inspector Dearly put in copies of the correspondence between Mr. Edwards, gas fitter and plumber, of No. 110, Royal Mint-street, and the commissioners, the report of Mr. White, the superintendent of the H division, who had acted very impartially in the matter, and the state ment of the accused covetable Mr. Deady said the transaction which took place in the station-house was correctly described by the applicants. The constable com plained of was young and inexperienced. The commis sioners and the superintendent (Mr. White) had made full inquiries into the we, and the constable had been repri manded and fined for breach of duty. Mr. Paget granted a summons against the constable for assaulting Mrs. Edwards. SUSPICIOUS DEATH AT DERBY.—Yesterday Con siderable excitement was occasioned in the neighbourhood of the Derby railway station and in the town generally by the death of an elderly lady, widow of the late Dlr. Footitt, solicitor, of Derby, which had taken icilace under suspicious circumstances which lead to the conviction that acruel and most cold - blo oded murder has been perpetrated. The de ceased, who resided in a terrace of houses opposite the rail way station, was left in the house alone on Thursday after noon, being then, to all appearance, in her usual health and spirits, but between 4 and 5 o'clock the same after noon' • female friend, who had been invited to take tea with ber, arrived at the house and knocked at the front door, but no one answering, she proceeded to the back door, which she found open. She therefore entered the house and found Mrs. Footitt lying upon the sofa in a state of unconsciousness, • large clot of blood being on the top of her head and more blood on the sofa. Assistance was at once procured, and • surgeon was sent tsar, but she remained unconscious during the whole of the night, and died about nine o'clock yesterday morning, never having been able to ' recognise any of her children or friends in the least. It is the opinion of the surgeon that she bad been suit deftly struck upon the head by some heavy instrument similar to • hammer, and had at once fallen upon the sofa, from which she had never stirred. There were no marks of blood, or any signs of disorder in any part of the house. The present conjecture is that some strolling vagabond had owns to the rear of the house, and, noticing her lonely position, had espied some articles of silver which stood upon • sideboard, and sought by force to obtain them, but had met with some resistance from the deceased, when he deal her the blow which resulted in her death. Nothing, however, is missed. THE RECENT FATAL AFFRAY AT BIRMINGHAM.— An inquest was held on Thursday night on the body of Michael McNolly, who was shot by one Morris Roberta in a gin-shop in Dale-end, Birmingham, on Tuesday night. The circumstances have already been described. After a long inquiry the jury returned a verdict of "Just table homicide." Yesterday Roberts was broughtup before the borough magistrates, and after some evidence had been adduced he was remanded for a week. The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council sat yesterday at the Council Chamber, Whitehall, to hear Indian appeals. The lonic present were Lord Romilly, Sir J. W. Colvile ' Sir IL V.
