. i.,L__z L'.VION OP CHURCH AND STATE. Our etwond edition yesterday oontained a report of the resolution' adopted at the great meeting on the subject of the Irish church. held in St. Jamees-halL The report of the proceedings occupies upwards of a page of the morning journals. The resolutions were all agreed te, bet there was &persistent interrup.ion at intervals. Some who greeted the Bishop of (Word with dienorslant noises caste forcibly expelled from she hall. The Bishop of OXFORD said that the Aural altogether put aside the idea of endowing other creeds than that of the established church, and insisted that it was no ergn ment against the establishment that in a particular pro vince of our common country those who used its servioss happened to be in a minority. He contended, moreover, that there was no feeling against the English church in Ireland itself, and that the aaitatioo was stirred up by the emissaries of the Liberation Society. He concluded by implosing the audience to stand by their suffering sister. The Bishop of LONDON said none of them, he supposed, Were determined maintainers of the gem, quo in the church of Ireland. " And we simple men," said his lord ship, '' who are clergymen," were not able to fathom the motires and meaning of tnose who bad come forward with projects for its ilisesteblishment. Ile was sure the old constitutional wills party in the country was opposed to whit was called a free church. He had no fear that a diseetablishment would lead to the domination of the R•man catholic religion again, but it would throw the country into contusion, and m--.aerially affect the supre niacy cf the crown. T•he Archbishop of Yost. who wan received with cheers, said in the course of his speech —lt is said that we are to disestablish the church ; that there are so many opinions that the state must have done with all of them. and must ja di try to keep under whilst they are contending amoug themselves. llut how do you recmcile this with the present mode of government in this country ; with the fact that the Queen is in theory the fountain head of all government, and that. although parliament enacts the laws, it is the Queen who signs them and finally makes them I is/, that it is in the name of the Q•teen that all justice is ailministerni—it is by her that all honours ere bestowed You may say it in a republic, if you want to have your President tried!—(hear, hear) — but here we have s monarch governing in some spirit. In what spirit In the spirit which all our laws tell no is the spirit of religion—gratin Dei—(loud cheers) —.mil although you say the Queen niles in the Divine name, you s.y '' this is to go on in England ; but teat these is such an objection to it in Ireland that it must lie done away with there." As was.eloquently said by the light rev. prelate who spoke first, to have religion as a state element is more important to the state than to the church. and so it is. lint, on the other hand, it is also an injury to the reformed frith to disestablish the church in Ireland. (Cheers.) I have been told that the thing is settled. le There are so•ue people who look with great awe on a majority of the House of Commons. (laughter.) We are told we bad better not throw our grappling irons over the edge of a sinking ship lest we go down with it. Ido not shut my eyes to the state of the question. We shall not go down just yet. (Cheers.) But they meets us to go down, and if any of us had stayed away today, and left the Irish church to its fate they would hare meant it all the same— neither more nor less. (('heers.) I thank the meeting for the patience with which they have heard me (cheers). and I will conclude with another quotation fro:. that re teat {table book to which I has e already alluded.

So it should be now • to the English people. If there be no conscience, no form of religious disci ',lntent in well-ordered states, and if unity in the body be no law of the church, let us freely abandon the emir ent policy tinder which this hand has consoled 'tea her strei.,th,and sustained het happiness, awl earned a fame yet wider th in the dominions that are leached by every sea ; hut if the reverse of both these pro positions be trite. then lit us decline to purchase moral debility and death wrapped in their disguise and entitled peace; then• in tile sacred name of God, to the utmost and to latent of our power let U. 4 sturdily abide by the noble traditions of only fathers, and be faithful to posterity, even as antiquity ha; been faithful towards as.

Lions after ourselves, (Loud and long continued cheer io Le Dean of WRSTMINS‘TRR was constantly interrupted. The other speakers were the Etrl of Harrowhy, Lord Colchester, the Duke of Northumberland • Lord Chelms ford, and the Archbishop of Canterbury (the chairman). Lord Chelmsford said the established church was founded undo:' the policy of Divine Providence, and if the Irish church was overthrown the whole establishment would be levelled to the ground. The Archbishop of Canterbury e pre.sed a wish that a little more tolerance hastbeen towards some of th , speakers. , YAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS OF Esatixo.

ROYAL SOCIETY OF ?IItAICIINS OF GE.EAT BM SAIN.—At the monthly meeting of governors and court of assistant. of this society this week, Mr. J. T.Wilby in the chair, Mr. Anderson. the honorary treasurer, moved a result:Son to the effect that a loyal and dutiful address be presented to her most gracious Majesty, the ratronees of the society. expressive of the horror with which the news of the attempted assassination of his Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh has been received, and a committee was formed for carrying out the same. The court then proceeded to grant the necessary sums to the claimants for the present rucoth. and make arrangements for the performance of the Mogul!, at St. James's-hall to-morrow. THE PATENT OFFICE. MI*SEI'M AND LIBRARY.- ID furtherance of ono of the objects of the Public Mu seums and Free Libraries Association. namely, the im provement of existing scientific. industrial, and literary collections, the attentiou of parliament is about being called to the present condition of the Free Library and Museum of the Commissioners of Patents for Inventions. These institutions are crowded to repletion, and besides are separated by the distance of three miles from Chan. eery-lane to South Kensington. Repeated reports and memorials from 1848 till 1A44 produced little effect. In the latter year a parliamentary select committee stated that the place where specifications and drawings were examined was little better than a dark passage, in which there was barely standing room ; and the books of the library were stowed away in a number of small zooms, or rather closet., some oa floors, some on tables, some in passages, and some on shelves, while the store-rooms were so overloaded that ' the floors had already sunk, and the surveyor of the Board of Works refused to allow them to be loaded any more, lest they should break down. New rooms were then built, but the space these afforded was sufficient only for the lihruy as it stood ; and consequently they are already filled, while the library grows every day.. The museum of machines and models is in even a worse con dition, in a shed at South Kensington. The Patent office, it should be recollected, yields to the treasury a surplus sum annually which for 1866-7 was upwards of 41,D01. . _ - The execution of the Fenian Barrett having been fixed for Tuesday, the 12th Mat. (the day on which the convict Robert Smith has been doomed to undergo the last penalty of the law), Calcraft, who had been engaged to come to Dumfries, has (says the Dumfries Courier)in tiurmted to the town-clerk that it will not be possible for him to attend. The town-clerk has since secured the services of Askern the York executioner, wh o d eman d s the same fee as Calcraft for a cast of his ghastly office— twenty_iguiness. A WOMAN BURNT TO DEATH.—On Monday an elderly woman named Bennett, residing at Southaes, was burnt to death. She retired to rest early in the evenlng, leaving a candle burning on her bedroom table. A lady went upstairs some time afterwards and found Mrs. Ben nett enveloped in Owes, her feet resting on the landing and the upper part of her body In the bedroom which was on fire. The fire was easily extinguished, and the unfor tunate woman removed to the hospital, where she died in great agony. It is believed she got out of bed and met Are to her night dress imeidentally.

The *7 returned a verdict of Guilty, and sentence wu deferred. Thomas Predevirk Holland*, 38, carpenter. was oharged with feloniotudy attempting to drown his daughter, Susan Holland/. I Mr. /Wadley conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Lilley appeared on behalf of the prisoner. Thomas Edgeley, publican, Drury-lane, deposed that on the 14th April lo saw the prisoner walking along the bank of the Thames near Southwark-bridge, sod heard the child, who was about twoyards behind, soy, " I won't," or " Don t, father." The prooner said, " Come on," and then took the girl in his arms, and, walking up to his knees in the water, threw her in, and she was rescued from her perilous condition by witoeas and others. In crow•e:amination the witness said the prisoner did not seem as if be meant to drown the child, but simply to frighten her. He was intoaic►ted, and appeared as if soddened with drink, and witness could not say whether he slipped or fell. . . . Tho trix, an intelligent little girl, eight years of age, d that on the day in question she went for • walk with her father, who was always very kind to her, and they went down to the aide of the river together. He car ried her in his arms down the step of the bridge, and dropped bee into the water. Some men name and to ok her oat, and she remembered nothing more. In orom-examin•tion she said that when her father carried her down the steps he slipped, and else dropped from his ems. He did not threaten to drown her. At this stage the learned jude stopped the ease, re marking that with such evidence they could not go any further. The jury accordingly returned a radii of Not Utility, and the priaotter was discharged. (Before Mr. Justice Willem.) In the cue of Peter Morgan, alias Peter Molten, 31, de embed ea a carpenter, charged with feloniously inducing certain soldiers belonging to the Queen's Army to desert from their allegiance with the intent to dethrone her Ma jesty, and depose her from her royal style awl title of Queen of the United Kingdom of Groat Britain and Ire. buni. 16. Justice Willem summed up the cue to the jury briefly. He explained to them the nature of the charge that was made against the prisoner, and said that before they would be justified in convicting him they must in the first place be satisfied that the prisoner wan a member of the Fenian conspiracy, the object of which was to create a revolution in Ireland, and overthrow the Queen's power in that country ; and secondly, that he had endeavoured to carry out that object by inciting these soldiers to forfeit their all!gisnee, and desert from their regiment, and assist in carrying out the rebellion that was projected. The learned judge then proceeded to call their attention to all the material points in the evident*, and concluded by leaving the came in their hands. The jury, after a few minutes' deliberation, returned a verdict of Guilty. The usual liestion having been pet to the prisoner if he had anything to say why judgment should not be passed upon him, Morgan said— My lord and gentlemen, I am a man very little accustomed to making speeches, as I have bad to earn my bread by the sweat of my brow, but if you will allow me I will offer some remarks on the evidence. Justice Willes—lt is too late for you to do so. The question is whether you have anything to say why judg ment should not be passed upon you. The prisoner (after • short pause)—Well, in the first place. my lord and gentlemen, the witness Farrell— Justice Wines linterruptingi—l cannot allow you to make remarks upon the evidence at this stage. The evi dent* has been heard and considered, and painful atten tion hasbeen paid to itbyeverybodyin court,includingyour learned counsel, who has commented upon it most ably, and it is too late for you to make remarks upon it now. The p risoner — l consider, as a man charged with a se rious cr ime, that it is the nly way I could prove that I am not guilty. Justice Willes—lt is quite in vain. I have sat so long on the bench, and have heard men declare they were not guilty, in spite of evidence which, as in this case, was most conclusive, that it would not have the slightest effect upon me although you were to protest your inno- Genes. If you have anything to say to induce the court to pass a milder sentence upon you than it is proposed to do, or if you have anything to move in arrest of judg meat, it will be the duty of the court, and it will be my pleasure, to hear that urged ; but it is not the duty of the court to listen to remarks on the witnesses. The prisoner —Then, my lord and gentlemen, w'uld you permit me to ask • question an an Irishman, and for the information of my countrymen! Are we to understand that when once the British government effects the exter mination of an Irishman from his native land— Justice Willes (interrupting)— How can you go on' lam surprised at you. lam surprised at • man coming from • country where, however flighty some of them may be, the people are about as hard-beaded and sagacious as are to be found in any part of the world—l am surprised to hear you talk such nonsense. You must forgive me, you really must. The only object of the British govern ment is this, that when changes are to be made in the government of any part of the British dominions, such changes are to be made by peaceful and constit utional means, and not by force of arms. The prisoner—l was not going to allude to the force of arms. He then went on to say that at the time it was said he was at Aldershot he was at his work at Pudding-lane, and that he never was at Aldershot in his life, nor told any man he was there. He also denied having ever paid for any of the men's railway tickets, and said there had been no evidence to prove that he ever took or administered an illegal oath, and this being so, he asked on what evidence he was found guilty. Justice Willes (addressing the prisoner) said be had been convicted upon perfectly clear evidence of having en deavoured to swell the ranks of rebellion in Ireland by troops drawn from her Majesty's army. He bad taken advantage of the lightheartedness of his countrymen whose names had been mentioned in the evidence, and they, more through love of drink and fighting, he believed, than out of an treasonable feeling in their minds, bad been in ' duced by him to leave the ranks they had sworn to serve in with the object of going over to Ireland, where, but for the intervention of Providence, bloodshed and rapine ' , add have covered • great part of that portion of the united Kingdom upon the occasion of the unfortunate outbreak out of which so much suffering and misery had come to innocent people by the amount of suspicion and uncertainty of a ff airs which had spread, and prevented the efforts that otherwise might have been made to do some real good for Ireland. It was almost impossible to believe that persons would be so demented as to believe that they really could succeed in an exploit so wild. Any thing more wicked never entered men's minds, and nothing but the excitable character of the young fellows whom he induced to desert could have imparted the hope that it would be suocesistul even for one moment. As it turned out, it no sooner came to a head than it was crushed by the strength of the government and by the right feeling of people who had a real interest in the good of the country ; and now people were able to look with something more of calmness upon that which, when the first news of the outbreak come over, seemed as if about to lead to an 11Z110.1111, of misery and murder which it was horrible to contemplate. But although they could now look upon these matters matte with • calm judg ment, that was no reason why they should not 100 upon so grave • crime as that of which he (the prisoner) had been convicted is one of the most serious magnitude, and viewing it in that light, the sentence of the court upon him was that he be kept in penal servitude for ten years. The prisoner was then removed from the dock. (Before the Recorder.) John Hamilton, a well-dressed man, 34 years of age, was indicted for feloniously forging and uttering an order for the payment of 2001., with intent to defraud. Mr. Poland and Mr. Warner Sleigh conducted the prose. cation ; and Mr. iSerjeant Ballantine and Mr. Metcalfe were counsel for the defence. The circumstances of this ease were of a very peculiar nature. The prosecutor was a Turk, named named Ali Snarl, a newspaper editor and proprietor ; and it appeared from the evidence he gave, that on the 7th April be left Charing-cross Station for the continent by the 7.30 a. m. train, and that the prisoner same into the same carriage and entered into conversation with him. Al the next station three other gentlemen came in, and loon alter the tide started COI of them produced some bank notes, gold, and playing Garde, and entered into conversation with the t , who shortly afterwards went and sat opposite lea, a nd they then began to play. Prisoner bent the cor ner of a card and said to prosecutor , " You see what I have dons ; I have marked the winning card," and asked him to join him in laying some money, and that they would win. Some games were played, the prisoner sometimes laying 1,000 and sometimes 500 francs against the other 111•0 , who lost, or pretended to lose, th e s .

Hiving returned to London he pointed out the primmer to • detective at Cannon-streot Meilen on the 14th April and he was then apprehended. For the defence several independent witnesses were celled, who deposed that the prosecutor tore the cheque out of a book and gave it to the prisoner, and that they both went over to Calais in the same steamboat apparently em very friendly terms. The Recorder thought the awe could not go any further, and the jury ng returned a verdict of Not Guilty, the prisoner was discharged. LATEST NOTES ON THE CHESTER MEETING. TO_THZ FIRTOI OY PU EXPIMIL the gruel certainlies of the year has tame off, and the Chester Cup has brought forth as hot a new favourite for the Derby In Patel Jones as the City and Siburban did in Speculum. It is more on account of his aatatordinary t evate trial, however, than his victory on the Rhoodee t the Empower has moms to so shoat a pries, for to beat Goodwood • length at 301 b. —no matter how eselly—is not such a Derby trial as the exmosesion of "lumps" of weight to Mariner on the quiet. It certainly appears that we am to have a envious real for the Blue Biband this year, and what with the prevailing hardness of the training grounds, and the me. talks influences, then may be worse speculations on the carpet than backing the Chester Cop winner, who has shown by his performance on the Rhoadss that he is not seedy cracked op. It is scarcely likely that ho will go to York for the Great Noeihern,with 7st 21b on his beck, and large fortunes dependent on his keeping well for the Derby: besides, he has two very good horses to best beyond Beauty 'with the worst of the weights) in Blinkhoolie and Weetwick, so that it would scarcely be " judicious" to pull him out again. He is not likely to contest any of the minor events still to come off at Chester, on none of which has the Cup race thrown any strong light, though I fancy there is a winner or two among the misplaced lot. The feature of Friday is supposed to be the Stewards' Cup, albeit Knight of the Garter must spoil this, with only half a dozen pounds extra to carry for his many great performances, for there is only Dolby to trouble him in the least. The Cheshire Handi cap is dependent on Thursday's results, unless Caithness should be wanted ; and something may turn up to oppose The Clown and Pd,-veyor for the City Plate, good things as they look now. Rut the best of Lord Westmorland's (will it be Icicle?) and Curfew Bell must take some bowling over in the Combermere Plate, whilst Perfume is not a bad idea in connection with the Badminton.—l am, he., METEOR.

The feature of the crossing at,, decidedly the advance ment of Dailsy, who was supported for about 9400 at 12 to 1. and Anhaequentlj 1000 to 100 wan lalsi, with the proviso of a start for the money. Then 10 fifties were laid twice, followed up by ten "ponies," and the last oiler was 100 to IS, which was taken once or twice. The Linseed., Paul Jones, maintained his position at the head of the poll with consisiensble firmness, but hie style of galloping over the course In the evening dill not seem to have pleased the " talent," as 9 to 4 was obtaissablo without sliM• , (sully, and after those odds but been taken several times, 1000 to ' 400 was laid, that being the Mat bet looked in favour of "the Buccaneer." Itennty was comparatively Orm. and at one period of the ever ine touched it to 1, lest a point more Wa3 offered &gal list Mr. %Vocal's mare at the finish. The owner of Straollsroke supported his horse to win a g-od stake, offering, at an early period of the evening, to take 10000 to 1000, but that amount wan not forthcoming in one bet • although he wan offered 10 pontes in vise hand. Between Beauty and Strad. broke there wan come rather ne•esational tn sod betting, an even thousand being laid In one hand that the Newmarket Turnery victress defeated stradbroke—one of tie pair, however, to win, or the lad to he off. This wager eas supplemented by another of x " monkey" even that Beauty beat strati robe the best of one, two, three. Abergelslie and Iltacken were comparatively firm at their respective prices. 20 to I wan accepted several times about Treasure naive, whose owner expressed his willing ness to take 21 000 t t 1.00) in one bet, lint none of his brother pro fs...dorsals seemed inclined W la) to 6,, IoW/Cll money, and the horse wan not backed for .t great steal The other features w. re in essitnertion with Seville, a n d Toni Dawson's lot. Lord IVestm:si land's mare received the support of her noble owner, • ss ho WAS at first offered 30 ponies : lot on Isis asking for 1000 to ast he was immediately acrommostated, one book , aker laying Isui lordship 00 to 150. A young nobleman, said to he the latnt tide owner of Seville, backed the latter for a stainer amount, but there was a great dispositson to lay against the mare, and plenty of 1000 to 30's were procurable to the clone a the rooms. With respect to the M id. dleharn lot there was an esinent disposition to hock Minster Bell, whose closing price was 00 to 1, but she was backed in con. jsuiction with her *table companion The Priest at 1000 to 70. Some badinage about •'althnesi s clierwe resulted in some "tall betting in respect of the despised IlsTklitimpton tepresentative, against whom 31r Stephenson betted :490 to, 150, stipulating that Cannon should tide the son of Stockwell. Orey stocking was in fair demand, and after 100 to 50 had been hooked In her favour, 20 to I was. laid several times to* lot of money. The extreme olds of 100 to 1 were offered uninst the somewhile favourite Vitidis, but found no takers. Had those odds been forthcoming against Knight of the Carter he would have been hacked, but nn'y for a limited amount. The Derby betting wan limited Ins a couple of tram:actions. Lady Elba. beth wan Mended upon, 1000 to SOO being laid atter 210 to no had been taken. Paul Jones was backed once, 210 to 100 being booked *toed the Chester Cup favourite. Fart> this morning there were indications of a great day, and that the Cheater Cup has lost but little of ita fernier prestige as a rave possessing special attractions for the people was apparent from the immense crowds who assembled in the ancient city at a very early h air. epeeist trains were ion on both the Great Western awl the Lnndsai and North Western Railways from the metropolis, and these "Cup Day excursions." as they were called, brought dots is immense crowde • and well they might, considering that only 12A. eel was charged for the double journey. If the Lam don trains brought their hundreds, however, thousands came by those which were rain at cheap rates from the West Biding of Yorkshire, Lancashire, the Potteriea, and the Black country. The scene sit the station was something immense. and that the people of cheater deemed the crowd alone no mean sight was evident from the manner in which they packed the walls at points; ' where views of the moving panorama is ere to be btained. From an early hour in the morning until the masses had taken up their I positions on the Rhoodee. the streets were si u te impassable, and the ancient " rows" were blocked. The morning vinous of the ('up competitors were witnesaed by large crowds, and the mnrning isting extremely fine and mild, the scene on the amphitheatre was very animated. Nearly the whole of the horses engaged to stay were out and among them the unprecedented favourite. Pali .loncn, whose style of goint &carer!) , gave more sati..factiou than on the previous evening. At the rooms there was but little doing. Minster Kell advanced to 7! to 1, which adds were booked by a well knoe n backer of homes to ErA. The favourite and Dolby a ere him. at.d Thalia received some support at 25 to , 1, a bet of 250 to 10 being booked is favour of Lord IVestruor lansi's mare. The:inn:dance on the course was the largest ever known. every available point on the wall being occupied, whilst the vicinage of the rails on either side was packed from the workhouse turn which in that beyond the stand• to the . I;rosvear.r bridge turn. The Midge itself was crowded, indeed, ' ery spat from which a view of the great race could be obtained hail an occupant. The ring and grand stand were crowded to excess., and as only a couple .s 1 races were final to take place before the Cup people early tank their places on the stand. The weather was beantlfelly One in fact, we cannot roll to mind a Chester Cup slay when the weather was more favour aisle to the sport. Seamew walked over tor the City Members' Plate, and the Produce Stakes having been decided In favour of itadsworth the jockeys proceeded to weigh for the Cheater Cup. R. Challoner was the first to weigh, which he did for War, Patter. Parry, Covey, and the others, following Its quick ogees- Mon, Paul Jones being one of the last to weigh. The race to so fully deseribed het.-a that it is unnecessary to go at length into it here !mince it to say that Paul .dunes carried eat to the full all that his owner and friends had maenad in his favour.

The numbers of the seventeen competitors were telegraphed at three o'clock; precis:4y twenty minutes before the time appointed for the ram, hut a few seconds before the numbers were hoisted several of the hones had made their appearance on the course. It la somewhat singular that Paul Jones, who was one of the last to weigh out, should be the first to appear on the course. Balchin was at his head, and led him about for • minute or two. Abergeldie, Grey Stocking, Strathcenan, Dolby, Goodwood, and Beauty were the neat to appear, and all the others excepting the lUddleham pale Priest and Minister Bell, were anon out. The latter pair did not show till Idler the others had taken their preliminary canters, and them they went to the past to the their horses. The Clown, who was rather fractious, showed way in the canters, Dalby, Grey Stocking. Caithness, Seville, Beauty, Goodwood, Strathconaa, War. Bracken, Stradbroke, Abergeldie, Paul Jones, Treasure Tmve, and Thalia following Mr. barber's representative In the order earned. They reached the post at least eight minutes bete: e the time appointed for the start, and owing to the restiveness of The Clown, Beauty, and Minster Bell, there was a break away, in which Clown ran to the distancopost, from which Palmer led him to the starting poet, with was between the Grosvenor bridge and the turn into the straight. As soon as the old horse had j oined ‘ the other competitors. who were in excellent order, Mr . CCeorre lowered his flog, and the lot were despatched on their eventful journey to an excellent start. Muster Bell was the quickest on her legs, out Hudson pulled her back as soon as • stride or so tad been taken, and the Clown, served by his light weight, rushed to the front, having a position next the rails, and holding • clear lead of Goodwood, Grey Stocking, beauty, Paul Jones, and Thalia, this lot comprising the leading division till reaching the stand, on nam ing which The Clown still held a lead of fully three lengths of Goodwood and Thilla, La close attendance on the latter pair being OM Stocking, Moiler Bell, and Treasure Trove, the well packed rack beteg headed by Beauty and Paul Jones, the rear ward lot consisting of Seville, Dul4, Caithness, and Abergeldie, the last of all, and apparently outpaced even thus early in the streak, was Stradbroke, whom Cradock had to ride Imme diate ly afterwards to take and keep a place among the competi tors. After rounding the turn passing the Stand, Jeffery took Paul Junes to the girths of The Clown, who was leading the field at a cracking pace. The favourite at this point had for his Immediate attendants Thetis, Treasure Trove, Minsterßell, and Goodwned. the latter pair having advanced from the rack, and were now in front of the Priest.

Pawl Raiy, 52, a gentlemanly-looking person, de scribed as a &ambreker, of Redruth, Cornwall, was in dicted for unlawfully obtaining two bills of exchange for 5001. each, about 17 01, in cash, and other securities, from Major Thomas Roes. by means of false and fraudulent pretences he alleging that be bad the le ase o f th e Wheel Emily Silver Mines in Cornwall, whereas no lease had been grunted by the freeholder. Mr. Sleigh (specially retained), with Mr. Oppenbeim sad Mr. Bradford, appeared for the prosecution; and Mr. Daley (specially retained), with Mr. E. G. Clarke, for the prisoner. The prosecutor was a retired major in the Remy. residing on his property, Killmarnoch Lodge, South Nora .sod. In the early part of the year be desired to invest som money in mining shares, and in March the prisoner pot hie. self in oomniunication with him representing that he vets the I purser of the Wheal Emily Silver Mines in the parish of Callington, in Cornwell. About the end of the month, the prosecutor, believing the prisoner to be a gentleman. I invited him and his wife to spend a day or two at his house as his guests, and be was induced to purchase 215 shares of the prisoner, for wbich be gave him 70/ : cash, and • bill of exchange for the remainder. The prisoner said that he was offered the lease, and if he bad 1001. more he oould secure it for his own advantage and these who ad vanced him money. Believing his awry to be correct he gave him another cheque for 1001. On the morning of the Ist of April, while he was • guest of the prosecutor, he tapped his breast-pocket, and said," Thank God, my mind is easy now , as I have got the lease here all right." He then advised him to take 1,000 share', telling Major Russ that if he did eo he should be able to keep the public out of such a good thing. Alin Lloyd, a lady visitor, who bad also been induced to purchase Alerts of the prisoner, was in the room at the time, and be told her he had the lease, said offered to show it her, but she declined to look at it. The prosecutor, putting faith in the prisoner's statement, and believing that be had the leaps of the mine in his pocket, consented to purchase 1,000 more shares at 11. each, when the prisoner filled op two bills of exchange for 5001. each, which the prosecutor accepted and returned to him. The prisoner then left him, and for warded him transfers of the shared from Thomas Evans to Thomas nogg, and a cost-book was produced for his signa ture. Shortly after that, from inquiries that were made, he ascertained Mr. Lang ford, the freeholder of the mine, had not granted a lease of the property to the prisoner or any other person, consequently lie had been defrauded of his money and the hills of exchange. During the time the inquiries were pending the prisoner had the impu dence to forward to the prosecutor another billet exchange for 4001. for his acceptance. Other evidence having been given, Mr. Daley addrennod the jury at some length for the prisoner, contending that he had never said he had the lease, but was in litigation respecting it in the Court of Chancery. The jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of Guilty. --- . - It was then proved that the prisoner had been tried and sentenced to 12 months' hard labour at York for a .similar offence, when The learned Chairman sentenced him to five years' penal servitude. THE CONVICT MICHAEL BARRETT.. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Gathorne Hardy re ceived at the Home-office a deputation which presented a memorial praying that a respite should be granted in order that an inquiry should take place into the soundness of the evidence advanced on the part of Michael Barrett at his recent trial, as also into the conclnsivenesa of that offered on the part of the orown. Mr. Bright, M.P., The ()Donoghue, M.P., Mr. Baker Greene, the counsel for the prisoner, and Messrs Lewis and Breton, his solicitors, were present. Ths; Hour Ssceirmir stated that he had already recognised the necessity of such an inquiry, and had taken steps to secure one. He had also applied for the Chief Justice's notes of the trial, and assured the deputation that the matter would receive his most serious consideratkn. Tics MURDER OF A STATION-MASTER AT DOVER.— Yesterday afternoon Thomas Wells, railway porter, was placed at the bar in the Town-hall, Dover, before Mr. Churobward, the mayor, and a full bench of magistrates, charged under remand with the wilful murder of Mr. Edward Adolphus Walsh, the superintendent of the Priory station of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway, by shooting him through the bead on Friday last. Mr. Cleather, solicitor to the railwey company, prosecuted, and Mr. Minter defended the prisoner. Mr. Squire Martin, superintendent of the eastern division of the railway, and several other officials were present. The principal wit nesses in the case were examined on Saturday last, and the proceedings to-day were principally of a formal cha racter. The prisoner was fully committed to the county gaol on the charge of wilful murder. The funeral of the murdered man will take piece at Drompton Cemetery at a quarter to 11 to-morrow. The deceased was a man of supe rior education and connexions, having been educated at Westminster School, the late Duke of Kent and the late Duke of Cambridge standing sponsors for him at his baptism. ARREST IN DUBLIN.-At an early hour on Tuesday morning, on the arrival of the Liverpool steamer at the North-wall, Dublin, it was boarded by two officers of the detective force, who made a rigid search amongst the passeogen, and eventually arrested a mill tary•looking young man, who bad apparently spent some time in America. The prisoner, who gave his name as Michael Gorman, was searched, but at firat there was nothing of a auspicious charac ter discovered with him, and he was not armed. The officers brought him to the Lower Castle Yard, to await examination before the Chief Commissioner of Police, Colonel Lake. Whilst in detention the police officers made a rigorous search of the prisoner's garments, and, it is stated, discovered, sewed up between the linings of his clothes, a variety of documents. Re was subsequently brought up before Colonel Lake and privately examined, the result of which was that he was sent on remand to Richmond Bridewell. The prisoner is a young man of good address and gentlemanlike manner..—Freeman's Journal. THE MIDNIGHT MEETING MOVEMENT.—The friends of this movement have established and opened a printing office and home (48, Langbam-street, W.) to pro vide suitable permanent and remunerative employment for the better educated class of fallen women, who have not been used to household work or the labour of the sempstress. To those who may be deemed suitable objects for admittance, it is intended to teach music printing (as well as general printing), as a previous acquaintance with music will prealiarl adapt them for the speedy acquire ment of the art. For this branch of labour there is a continuous and increasing demand. After the first year, with perseverance and industry, worcen can earn from 20s. to Ms. weekly; and after deducting 14a. per week for board, lodging, and washing, the balance is paid to—or accumu lates for the permanent benefit of—the earner. From the day of a woman's admission until such time as she is able to earn the weekly sum of 145., the whole expense of her tuition, board, lodging, and washing, is defrayed out of the annual subscriptions. After the second year, as proficiency and speed are attained, still larger wages might be calculated upon. All the subecrip. tions and donationetreoeived have been spent in buying printing materials and in fitting up the home. The com mittee are sorry to say that they have to ream many ap plicants, simply because they have not su ffi cient printing materials at their command with which to employ them, though they have sufficient home accommodation for then'. To raise the money necessary for increasing their stock of type and buying another press the present ap peal is made to the Christian public to aid by patronage and contributions in .this new field of labour. ni M visitors of the institution are Mr. J. Stabb, hon. secretary of the Midnight Meeting Movement, Colonel Sandwith, and Mrs. Anne Vernon Harcourt. Tisasxsorriso SERVICE.S.—In the absence of any intimation that the government propose to appoint a day of thanksgiving for recent national mercies, the Hon. and Rev. R. lAddeU, of Bt.
