He mateeded that the great 1000•1114 Cl power poesesed by the Metropolitan Board of Works and the various local boards of the metropolis rendered it abso- lutely necemary . that the house should take up the ques tion, with the view of improving those bistitutiona, so ea to make them equal to the duties they bad to perform. The motion wise seconded by Mr. TITE, who =premed emildenosthat the Metropolitan Board of Works would or" out creditably , from the ioquiry Whatever the Malt might be, he trusted that it would lad to the estth lieloneat of a uniform rating throughout the metropolis. Lord R. hiONTAGC reminded the house that a similar inquiry, e. iry, instituted four years since, had turned out a An investigation of the que stions of direct and indirect taxation wee enough of itself to overwhelm any committee composed of ordinary men. Mr. CRAWFORD supported the motion.' Sir G. GREY assented to it on behalf of the government, ermeiderieg that certain points of the local management of ate Imetal L snek se the conflicting jurisdictions and Mawr formed sufficient grounds for inquiry. Mr. commented upon the circumstance that metropolitan improvements rarely benefited the poor, who, however, had to bear their portion of the taxation by which they were accomplished. The diammeloa was continued by Mr. Harvey Lewis, Lord Elobo, Mr. Looks, and others, and eventually leave was given to bring in the bill. TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION WITH INDIA. Mr. CRAWFORD moved for a select committee to Inquire into the practical working of the present miens of telegraphic sad postal communications between this country and the East Indies. The hon. gentleman (who said be himself paid 3,0001. • year for telegraphic, messages to Ladle) explained that ander the present system messages between London and India passed between no fewer than seven administration'', the result of which was the constant mearreace of the meat annoying and ludicrous mistakes. The principal impediment to the service arose in Turkey where the indifference, apathy, and ignoreace Cl the officials produced the most disatrous conesquenose to those who used the telegraph. As an illustration, he stated that during the civil war in America he had himself sent • message to India to this meet—" News to the 10th Marra in favour of holders," which was translated thou, " News to the 10th March savoury of soldiers." Proposals had been made to the Turkish verernmot to employ E:+llma in the service, but the fulmar of Frame and Ronda was at once excited, and no improvement whatever took place. In like manner It was only just to say that any suggestions for improve. meat which came from France were regarded with equal jealousy by Russia and Baena. With regard to the portal service the Peninsular and Oriental Company bad • mono poly, which, however, would expire in course of time, and when the India railway system was completed the whole Cl the portal service with India would pees through 3° I7r b . 4 IIORSFALL secouded the motion. He said he should have bema s :f his his hoe. friend h ad con fi ned the inquiry into the communication, without adding to le the postal and be very much feared that be bad. rondo the question too wide. He hoped that if his hoe. friend got his committee he would put practical men upon it—men who were capable of grappling with the Neat. su ffir C. BRIGHT said as he wee engaged in the °snail-no tion and laying of • portion of the line under emeidsration, perhaps the home would allow him to express hie disap pointment at the lama of the working of the line. The 'f n ur ter kl i a gi b o rri. the t, or ra: t her the Turk s s: paeim, were so litt i t arrived from Salads he found that the governor of /I:g li ded ova engaged in • miserable squabble with some tribal, the afford of which was that the working of the line was de layed • whole year. Except for the bad working en the Turkish portion of the line, me gee might be sent with the greatest possible regularity between England and Kiumnbee in three or four hours. Bat on arrival at Kurraohee, the distribution of massages to Bombay and Madras was performed in • wretchedly bad manner. He bad seen in Bombay gentlemen watts, seven days for • manage, and be lied bad ex ease of m n =l , mi=e o e , days in tranambrion from Bombay to IC of 500 miles. While the telegraph was worked In this wretched manner in India, it would be utterly impossible to extend telegraphic communication to Australia and China. Mr. MOFFATT supported the motion, and approved of including the abject of postal communication In the in quiries of the oommittee. Mr. CHILDERS said the goverstmat did not object to inquiry. He admitted that the present state of thins was not matistaotory, and if the committee entered upon the investigation with the understanding that the object wee simply and solely the oonvideration of the general queetioe sad the adoption of practical improvement, ho thought it would be a judicious measure, and he hoped the !equity would prove suomeeful. After • few words from the CHANCELLOR of the EX microns mid Mr. AYrros, the motion was agreed to. Leave was given to Mr. Ewan to bring in • bill to amend the Free Public Libraries Ad. The National Debt Reduction Bill, and the Savings' Banks and Post-dam Savings' Banks Bill were read a third time sad passed. The Cattle Diseases (Ireland) Bill was passed threegh easemittee, and the home adjourned at 9 o'clock. *parting intelligence. NOTTINGHAM SPRING JIMSTLIG.—TMADAY.

THE MARQUIIITOWNSHEND .AND THE BT. - P4NCR49 WORKHOUSE. -*-- Yesterday the Marquis Townehend attended before Mr. Barker, the sitting magistrate at the Olerkenwell pollee-court, with two dirty-looking young womeo, and mid he wished for summonses against Mr. Jame', an of the relieving overseen of the parish of St. Pawnee, for peen:g in to relieve one of the young women, and for an assault summons against the pauper porter for 'assailing the other. His lordship proceeded to state that the conduct of Mr. James was very bed, in feet inhuman, and ought to be visited with punishment. He had reposed to admit one of the young women into the workhouse when she applied to him, and had treated her with the greatest disrespect. in the other case the workhouse porter had pushed the girl roughly about. Mr. James, the relieving cvereeer, said, in answer to the charge against him, that the young woman, whose name was Dawes, and who belonged to the parish, came to him that monde( and asked for admission direct to the work house. Ste had before been admitted so the oakum shed. The usual plan was to send young women there who wars able to work. He sated her if she wished to see the wadi ! cal officer, and she said " No," and added, " Oh, very well, then you woe's admit me." She looked at him with a very defiant air, and then went away. Before she west away he again offered her the oakum shed. Mr. Barker—As a rule, do you refuse to admit persons applying to the workhouse! Mr. James—No, it depends on circumstances. If a person were till she would be sent before the medical officer, and if Rowell she would be admitted at once. All young persons, if well, would be sent to the °skim shed, where they could earn a shilling or more a day. The shed was covered in. The young woman who oomplaioed of the assault, said she did not wish to hurt aoyoee, end she should not bare complained had it not been for the marquis speaking to I her. She had slept in Playhouse-yard-refuge on the pre vious night (Monday), sod to get to St. Nacres Workhouse that morning she had to per through several other parishes. She was sure that she did not complain of the porter until otter she was spoken to by the marquis. The other young women said that she bad slept in the St. Plumes usual-ward on Saturday night. That morning by the advice of the Marquis Townsbeod she went to the Ste Pongees Workhouse sod saw Mr. James, the relieving overseer. Sbe tubed Mr. James to admit her to the work s house, and he said he could not think of doing such • Mr. James sold that eke could go to the oakum. wsrd and she would earn a shilling or more • day. She wished to go into the house to stay, but she did not com plain begone. she was not taken into the boos.. She bad been in the atom-ward of St. Pancru and had not before ! complained of Mr. James, nor did she complain now. What she did she did by the advice of the Marquis Townshend. She did not refuse to go so the oakum-ward. She bad worked there before and knew that the young women could earn 6s. par week. She did net want to get =you, into a I bother._ - --- --- Mr. Barker greeted the ammo= for the emu% but re fund the apphoatioe for the other.

George Bozoll, 31, demeibed as a clerk, pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with stealing a post letter coe- Wining a bank bill for 1864 He was also charged with forging an endorsement to the bill that had been stolen. The fasts of this ewe will be fresh in the recollection of the public. The prisoner was a oonstelle stationed at Usk, in Monmouthshire, and it was pert of his duty to go to the post-office at that place to receive the letters for the patios. A letter had been sent to a solicitor at Uskorhich emlosed the bank bill in question, and the prisoner con trived to obtain possiesion of this letter, and to abstract the bill, and the letter was then sent to its destination. The prisoner subsequently proceeded to London, where be obtained cash for the bill, and he appeared to have opened an /MOW , at a bank in Arundel, in Sussex, with part.of the proceeds. There were two other charges against the primmer of stealing letters containing valuable property under similar circumstances. _ . . . The leputyiuoorder, after having commented upon the serious nature d the offences committed by the pri soner, and observing that they were very much aggravated ' by the fact of his being • policeman, whose duty it was to prevent the commission of crime, and to protect the public from depredations of this description, sentenced him to be kept in penal servitude for seven years. Willies Henry Laurence 2`reen, 28, described as • clerk, pleaded guilty to a charge of uttering a forged cheque ter 1501. purporting to be signed by Dr. Temple, the head muter of Rugby school. Upon the application of Mr. Cooper, who appeared for the prisoner, judgment was respited to the next union. John Loosanore, 29, pleaded guilty to • charge of stealing • bill of exchange for 2,5001., the property of I Messrs. Delay and Isnard, merchants, carrying on bold ness in Grauchurch-street. Mr. Daly, who with Mr. Streigbt was instructed to prosecute, recommended the prisoner to mercy under the instructions of the prosecutors. He was sentenced to 18 months' bard labour. Yolnl3;;;iieeltes,; person of gentlemanly , surrendered to take his trial upon the clams of stealing a bill of exchange for 301., the property of Oforlas Batty. Mr. Metcalfe prosecuted ; Mr. Bibton and Mr. Bailey appeared for the defence. The facts of this ease have appeared very recently in the polies reports. The prisoner was an attorney, and he had bad some business transactions with the prosecutor, who upon one oocasias gave him a bill for 301. to gekliactiunted for him, and as he alleged, the prisoner appropriated this bill to his own use, and he was unable to obtain the pro ceeds. it appeared,lhowever, that the prisoner himself was the drawer of the bill, and that he had endorsed it, and there was a good deal of complication in connexion with the transaction. — Thesapitillecorder held that there was no evide•ce to ito to the jury in support of the charge of felony, and the jury therefore, under his lordship's direction, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. James Moor,lB, • respectable-looking lad, was charged with uttering a cheque for 2001., with intent to defraud the Union Bank of London. He was found Guilty, and sentenced to twelve months hard labour. THE SATURDAY HALF-HOLIDAY MOVEMENT.—A densely crowded meeting of the operative ocachnisliers of London was held in St. Martin's-hall last evening, to pro mote the Saturday half-holiday movement among the members of the trade. The Earl of Shaftesbury presided. Mr. Swank., Secretary to the London Ooachmakere' Society, read a statement, from which it appeared that the tea societies connect.l with the trade in London, memo rialised the employers to the number of 270 in favour of the movement. Of the latter, 13 approved of giving the half-holiday, 5 disapproved, end 3 were willing to Kroll to it if the other employers adopted it. From 249 employers no reply had been received. Many of the leading firms had, however, acceded to the wishes of their men. The noble chairman said he entered heart and soul into the feelings of the meeting. The question of the half-holiday was beyond all dispute, because all the moral, physical, intelleetual, and epiritiud advantages ocaneeted with it were not to be called in question. Why should not the operative ooachmakers be admitted to the enjoyment of the Saturday half-holiday? He thought when they mentioned 4 o'clock that their roguet was exceedingly modest, because he felt their work should terminate about two o'clock. The hours given for recreation would not be abused, and be felt certain the employers would not refuse the boon that was sated. Mr. Ahem moved, Mr. Walker seconded, and it was agreed` " That this meeting views with satisfaction the growing adoption of the Saturday half-holiday in the manufacturing and other establishments in London, es an illudration of he compatibility for busbies., end tending to improve the good feeling of the men towards the meters." Mr. Reevey moved a resolution to the effect that the men in each shop in London should memorialise their respective meaters to dose their establishments at 4 o'clock oa Saturday next, the 3rd of Mamh, and that the delegates report to the tooled.. the result on the following Monday, to enable them to set so se to realise their expectations. Mr. Court seconded the resolution, which passed. Other speakers addressed the meeting, o and a vote of thanks to the chairman closed the ay.
