' THE GOYERNMINT AND THE REFORM LEAGUE. • Tbe Na lof SHAFTESBURY--Seeing the noble earl, the Iran Lord of the Treasury in his plans, I take the Peel of asking him • question. There appears on various wile in the metropolis and in the park a very long and grandiose proolaraation signed " Edmund Bake, resident" I shall be glad to know titan the noble earl whether the *patents of that proclamation are correct, and eimither it contains • correct statement of what took rises between Mr. Beam and the Secretary of State! The Earl of DERBY—I am very much obliged to my noble friend for affording me an opportunity of disabusing 'oar lordships and the public with regard to the course sod steps taken and the communications which have taken plose between the council of the League and the govern ment within the last four-and-twenty hours. On the night before, after the discussion in the House of COM amova, the council of the Reform League am asaicated to my right hon, friend, the Secretary fir the Home Department, that they had heard with great satisfaction the statement made by him that light as to the Man in which be considered the law to be, sad the conciliatory tone in which he had spoken in the House of Commons, and stating that they were very noxious to have an opportunity of conferring with him net day if he would receive • small deputation. In con sequence of this, my right hon. friend received a depots lion horn the council of the leave at 2 o'clock yesterday, when they expressed their regret at the scenes which bad bad taken place in Hyde-park, and of course had their own view of the matter, attributing violence to the police, which it will not be necessary for me to enter into ; but they exprarad every desire to prevent a repetition of those outrages, and represented to my right hon. friend that if they were permitted to go into the park without any fear of being interfered with by the police or military, or concentration of force, they thought they might be able to persuade those people who were still lingering there, with more or less intention to do mischief, to retire. Some conversation took place, which I believe is correctly reported in the Tata of this morning, and if I only read the words of my ight hon. friend it would appear that nothing could be mom contrary or opposite to the statement in the placard than what actually took place. What my right hoc. friend did state was this :—" If you will aurae your friends that the government will give you every oppor tune:6y of trying the legal right and facilitating the deter mination of that right, and that they ask of you in the interim not to insist on that right until it is determined ism way or other, that in the meantime you will cram to your friends that the government wish to meet them in the fairest and harken manner, as to the opportunities they may have of discussing public genotions in places which are recognised ea places where fiss police would not be ordered to interfere = if you will do that I think I see the solution of th e present dif . In that case I will undertake to sa , that unless say mimesis( arise to night, unless any ' be onward, unless property be attacked—which it is my duty Is defend—there will be no demonstrations of either military or police." That is to say, that they might address their friends in the park for the purpose of in ducting them to withdraw, and, supposing it was their with to try the right, every facility should be given them far so doing, but upon the condition that in the interim no attempt should be made to midst Etthe aterciee of that right. That eonveloateon took between two and half-past two o'clock, and my right friend added that he acted upon his ownresponsibility and without communication with his colleagues. Between fair and five o'clock my right hon. friend informed me as to what had taken pLa, and I expressed some doubt whether the influence of the council of the league would be nafiloient to effect the objact they had in view, but that I was quite willing they should try • bet certainly nothing could be greater that; my astonishment when I found placards posted 'Ws the whole neighbourhood of the perk, intimating &wily the reverse of what my right bon. friend stated ; not an intimation that they would desist, but, on the con *ray, that by agreement with the government the council dee league proposed to hold a reform meeting in the pink at 6 o'clock en Monday evening nest My right hon. friend was just as much surprised as I waa. The fact is, that after the deputation left, Mr. Bealee and one or two friends returned, and asked my right bon. friend whether be would consent to • meeting in the park on Monday next. The answer of my right hon. friend was, that the question was one of far too great importance for him to answer singly that the application must be io writing, and on 'consulting hie colleagues an answer would be sent in writing. About half-past 5 o'clock my right bon. friend received from Mr. Bala • letter, of I have a copy. It states, "I am requested by the council of this league to most earnestly press upon you the advisability, and even urgent neneseity—as the most if total means of putting an end to the state of =s exasperation now existing in the public that you will offer no opposition to the amain proposed to be held by the league in Hyde-park, on Mouday afternoon nest, at 6 o'clock, spoil meeting to be held on the general subject of the olootive franchise and reform, and to be without prejudice la any way to the decision of the question in par- Emmet, or in a court of law, as to the abstract right of the people to meet for political discussion in that art soy other parka—the council of the league undertaking ea their part to do everything in their power to preserve the peace and prevent any act tending to disorder." To that letter no answer has ban returned, and yet within an boor of that letter being sent placards appeared intimating that the Secretary of State on the part of the government had :assented to the holding of the meeting on Monday. Ora of the members of the deputation was Mr. Collet, who subsequently came to the Home-office and repudiated he the strongest terms the proclamation of Mr. Beales. He perfectly understood Mr. Walpole to sanction their repairing to the park for the purpose of inducing the peo ple to retire, but as one of the deputation distinctly repo dated the absolute falsehood of the proclamation. (Hear, bear.) My right hon friend has thought it necessary to refer the question to his colleagues, and I hope your lord ships will approve of the answer hich has not yet been sent, but which has been determined on. Her Majesty's government have directed Mr. Walpole to acquaint the ssencil of the league that they have no disposition what over to interfere with meetings in any proper place, whe ther meetings for the purpose of discussing reform or any other political question ; but they feel it impos sible that they can give their sanction to the bolding of meetings for this purpose in any of fbe royal parks, although they are irate ready to afford rainy facility to try the right. But, in the meantime, it will be impossible for them to sanction that which they believe to be a violation of the law. If, however, it be their desire to bold an open-air meeting, no objection will be vaned to its being held at Primrose-hill, but in the = perks it cannot be auctioned. That is the rawer will be given, and I hope that the good wise of the leaders of this movement, after fairly considering all the consequences of their actions since last Mon day—the serious damage done, the alarm excited is the minds of quiet pawns, the injury done to property, end in some MOM to the anions and the impossibility of for the conduct of those not belonging to them, answering tsttollow in the train of these monster procasioas— I hope they will see that they are incurring a very serious end grave responsibility, if, after the warning given and the voluntary offer that they would be permitted to repair Is Primrose-Lill, they still persist in that which we think to be • violation of the law, and thus incur the responsi lity snob • realm course of proceeding. (Hew.) CONSECRATION OF CHURCHYARDS (No. 2) BILL. The house went into committee on the above bill, and the several clauses were agreed to with certain verbal eineadmenta NATIONAL GALLERY ENLARGEMENT BILL. On the motion of the Duke of BUCKINGHAM this bill was read a third time and passed. THE FOREIGN JURISDICTION ACT AMENDMENT BILL --- The LORD CHANCELLOR, in moving that ibis bill which was one of the late government's m be "Tad • second time, stated that ender the Fore ig n J n Act, her Majesty wee authorised to exercise any 'moor or jerisdiction which existed in countries out of her domi nions which had been ceded to or conquered by her, It was eonsidered expedient to confer the power of appellate lorlatiction upon the High Court of Bombay from Du mber and other places out of her dominions, but the late law diem wen d opinion that her Majesty had no such ow, and that it was aseeasery to appl to the imperial I ns mV s ea . in which be hilly and hence the The bill was read a seeded time. Tha house adjourned at 80 minutes to 7 o'clock. SOUSE OP COMMONS.—TatataDAT, JOLT 26. Se bow rocamod at six o'olook.

THE EXTRADITION TREATY BILL. Dlr. IL TORRENB pve notice that upon the motion for the would reeding al the Extradition Treaty Bill he would move that it be read a mecond time that day three months. - - - THE LIONS POE THE NELSON COLUMN. Admiral WALCOTT asked the First Commissioner of Works as to the present towards completion of the four lions destined to perfect and ornament the base of the Nelson Column, and the probable time when this national testimony to the serviced' of that late great and heroic admiral may attain completion. Lord J. MANNERS replied that two of the bronze lions had been already eompleend ; • third was nearly ready ; and it was expected that before the end of the autumn the four lions would be established at the base of the Nelson column. THE COLLISION BETWEEN THE AMAZON AND THE OSPREY. Mr. SAMUDA. asked the President of the Board of Trade, in reference to the collision of the Amazon and Osprey, how ft was to be explained that the whole of the crew of the Osprey had been saved while the passengers committed to their charge, principall, women, had been last ; and if it should appear that this had resulted from an absence of all discipline on the part of the crew at the time of the accident, if he would consider the propriety of framing some legislative enactment with the view to avoid the scandal such occurrences justly caused. Mr. CAVE mid the collision took place at midnight, and not more than three to five minutes elapsed before the Osprey went down. When the master found the danger was so imminent he rushed into the cable, roused the pas , brought them on deck, and placed them in the i li=t, into which he went himself. Unluckily the gear of the davits was found to be out of order, andlefore the boat could be got clear the Osprey went down, taking with her the lifeboat end all on board. The master and his wife rose to the surfsce, and were picked up by the boats of the Amason ; the rest, including two of the master's own children and six women never were seen again. At the moment the ship was sinking the crew saved themselves by climbing over the prow of the Amazon, which was then over the quarter of the Osprey. By the 232nd se lien of the Yer chant Shipping Act of 1854 it was enacted that any master or seaman wee guilty of a misdemeanour who, by wilful neglect of his duty, omitted to do any lawful act for the preservation of his ship and those on board. Beyond this it was impossible to go. Pm • person to neglect his own safety to provide for that of others, and he was happy to say that this wm not an uncommon thing, both in the royal navy and the merchant service, was a matter that could not be enforced by • legal penalty ; it was what was technically called • duty of perfect obligation. The government did all they Gould to encourage the performance of acts of this kind, by granting rewards, the highest of which me the Albert medal, recently instituted by her Majesty. It a ppeared to the government that this was set • ease err reward or punishment. EXEIIFTION OF SUNDAY SCHOOLS FROM TAXES. Mr. HADFIELD, on behalf of Mr. Cheatham, asked the President of the Poor-law Board if he bad any intention to bring in a bill at the commencement of the nazi session to relieve schools set apart for religious instruction upon the Sunday from liabihty to pay parochial and other rates. Mr. G. HARDY replied that the question of exemptions from rating was one that had latterly attracted • good deal of attention, but he could not undertake to say that at the beginning of next session he should be prepared to bring in • bill on the subject. FURTHER SUSPENSION IN OF TH N E HABEAS CORPUS ACT IRELAD. Mr. OSBORNE asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland, if her Majesty's government intended to bring in • hill for the farther suspension of the habeas corpus in Ire Land, and if such were the case, whether they would take into consideration the convenience of Irish members by naming an early day for its introduction! Lard NAAS said it would be the duty of her Majesty's government to propose a bill for the further suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act in Ireland for a limited period. It was the wish of the government to introduce the bill at as early a period as wee consistent with the business of the house ; and the convenience of the Irish members on this subject would be consulted. (Hear, hear.) THE HYDE-PARK RIOTS. Mr. POWELL postponed until to-morrow the question of which be had given notice, namely, " whether it was proposed to repair the ravages recently committed in the of the metropolis by sums voted or to be voted rem moneys arming from the taxes levied on the inhabi tants of the United Kingdom, or whether the necessary funds would be derived from the reetrepolis, which was the mew of the late devastations." Mr. EDWARDS asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, in the present disturbed state of the metropolis, and a possibility of the recurrence of the disturbances that occurred last Monday and Tuesday, it would not be advisable to enlist special constables to assist the police to protect the parks, and also the private pet party of indivrduals, against the conduct of what are ca lled the " _of the metropolis. Mr. WALPOLE, who spoke in so low a tone that it was impossible to hear the greater part of his answer, was un derstood to say that a few days ago it was deemed advis able that a letter should be addressed to the magistrates, and the different vestries in the neighbourhood of the parks, recommending them to call on all well-disposed persons to assist the police in quelling disturbances. He hoped trom what had since occurred, and from what he had beard, that there would be no necessity for putting such measures into active operation. At any rate they would not be resorted to until imperatively called for. DANISH SCHLESWIG. Mr. D. GRIFFITH asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he knew what portion of the country was intended to be included in the term " Danish Schleswig " which it was proposed that Prussia should cede to Denmark. Lord STANLEY said he understood that there was a proposal that some part of Schleswig should be ceded hack again to Denmark, but be was not able to say precisely what portion of theSchleawig territory was included in that proposal. THE PRUSSIAN LEVIES ON FRANK-FORT. Mr. OTWAY asked whether any application had been made to her Majesty's government to arbitrate in this matter, and if so, whether the government had committed themselves to such arbitration. Lord STANLEY—No, sir ,• there has been no demand for such arbitration, and so long as the ques tion is one between the German population and the German government we have no loci's aunts. (Hear, hear.) Various representations have bee made about it, and I may state that it has been reported to us that threats have been used by the officers in co e mend of the Prussian army in Frankfort of a very violent character. One of those threats was, that in the evert of the payment just referred to not being made, they would bombard the town ; but I am bound to say that the Prussian government strongly disclaim any such threats having been used on their part. It does appear from what we have heard that some language of that kind was really used ; but I hope tie house take the denial of the Prussian government as indicative of the fact that such language was not used with the sanction of the higher authorities. The sole interference on our part has been that we asked what protection would be afforded to British residents in 01190 of any strong measures being taken against the town. I have seta telegram to that effect to the Prussian autho- rities, and I may state that the assurances I have received on that heed are satisfactory. In point of fact, the Prus sian government distinctly deny ever having sanctioned or used any threat of bombarding the town. THE COMPULSORY CHURCH RATE ABOLITION Mr. J. MORE asked the hon. member for the city of Ox ford whether it was his intention to divide the house on the moond reading of the Compulsory Church Rate Aboli tion Bill! Mr. HEATS replied that it was his intention to divide the house on the question. THE HYDE-PARK DISTURBANCES AND THE GOVERNMENT. lir. B. OSBORNE—As great uncertainty and anxiety exist in the public mind in regard to the meeting which has been extensively placarded as being about to take place on Monday in Hyde-park, I wish to oak the right hon. gentle man the Home Secretary the precise state of the cue as to his relations with the Reform League—flavibfrli — swd further, if he has granted permission for a meeting to take place in the park ; and if he will state, in order to calm the anxiety of the public mind, what precautions he has taken for the preservation of the public peace. (Hear.) Mr. WALPOLE—My relations with regard to the Reform I I Laws an simply the relations of Secretary of State re ssivieg a deputation from that body with reference to the painful circumstances which have recently happened In the metropolis. That is en answer to the hon. gentle men's first question. With regard to the second question, s vary natural question, as to whether any meeting is to tab place in Hyde-park on Monday next, I have to state, and I think I can show, that a miseonceptics of a most extraordinary kind exists on the part of the promoters of that niseting. (gear, bear.) There are persons in this beam end out of the house aadothers present at the inter view whisk I had with a deputation from the Reform League, who know exactly what took piece. Babstan tially aetatement made in whatis called the leading journal 1/1.1•14. Whig teak plats ces that oesedries was this eiou a . in Hyde-park was the alleged right, or claim to • tight, of admittance to that park for • public meeting, her Majesty's government would give every facility in their power for obtaining a legal decision on that question ; and that in the interval nothing should be done in the assertion of, or any attempt made to assert, that right on the one hand, and on the other handthat nothingshouldbe done to interfere with the determination of the question. It was then stated at the meeting that one of the great causes of irritation at that moment was what was called the demonstration of large bodies of pollee, and an intimation was made to me that if those large bodies of petit* were withdrawn, the irrita tion would cease, and the disturbances too. My answer was that there was no desire on the part of her Majesty's government to make any unnecessary demonstration either of the police or of the mili tary force, and if the gentlemen who addressed me, and who expressed their willingness, on the re moval of the large body of police then in the park, to go to the park and use their best endevours to induce the people to retire peaceably, would do so, I undertook, on the one hand, to remove th ose large bodies of police, reserving to myself, however, the fullest power of calling out either them or the military force in case of damage to person or property, or in the event of danger to the public peace, and on the other hand, those gentlemen undertook to do their best to stop the disturbances, the unhappy and fatal disturbances, which have taken place in the last three days. Sir, I think I should have neglected my duty if I had not availed myself of such an opportunity of bringing these unfortunate matters to what, I hope, will be • satisfactory conclusion. After that interview was over two or three of tie members of the depu ithion came into the room and asked the question whether Iv Ilaiesty's government would allow a meeting on tie question of reform to take place in Hyde-park on Monday next. I replied distinctly that such an application as that must be made to me in wr iting ; and that in writing they should receive their reply after I had submitted their application to my colleagues. It is elated in the which was afterwards posted in difforen: parts of the metropolis that the meeting should take place on Monday next by arrangement with the Secretary of State. Now, I have not wished to use any language which might provoke any irritationon these unhappy matters, and I willnot use that language nos, but I do say that a more extraordinary misooncepthon could not possibly have arisen. (Hear, hear.) The le:ter of appliain, which was written to me by a Mr. Edmund Beale*, was actually not in my hands till near 6 o'clock yesterday evening, and the placards announcing that that meeting was to be held must have been printed at that time. I suppose the house would not care to hear the letter. (Cries of " Read.") It is dated 25th July, and I received it between 5 and 6 o'clock in the afternoon. It is as follows :—' Sir,—l am requested by the council of this League to most earnestly press upon you the advisability and even the urgent necessity, as the most effecinal means of pitting an end to the state of dangerous exasperation now existing in the public mind, that you will offer no opposition to the meeting proposed to be held by the League in Rile- e park such on Monday afternoon next at 6 o'clock, mee to be held on the general subject of the elective fame and reform, and to be, without prejudice in any way to the decision of the question hi parliament, or in a court of law, as to the abstract right of the people to meet for poli tical discussion in that or any otter park, the of the League undertaking on their part to do everything in their power to preserve the peace—(a laugh)—and to prevent any act tending to riot or disorder.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, Edmond Reales." That letter shows as distinctly as words can show—inde pendent of the affirmation which I have already made— that the application, which was to be made to me in writ ing, .was then received, and that the answer which was to be given by me in writing had not been given at all, and could not have been given, for I had bad no opportunity of consulting my colleagues I alight appeal to the witnesses who were present. (Cries of " No, no.") I thank the house for that expression. In justice to • most able mem ber of the League, whose writings are known to many members of this house, I must say that, infinitely to his credit, he voluntarily came to my office this day to make a statement on the matter. He could not me me, for I was so much engaged that I could not see him, but he saw my private secretary, who immediately afterwards told me what be said, and I said it was so important that I desired him immediately to write it down. He did so, and I believe that what I am about to read to the house is oorrect. It is to the effect that, " Mr. Holyoake said he had come to repudiate in the strongest terms Mr. Braless proclamation, and that he perfectly understood Mr. Walpole to decline to sanction any meeting in the park, and to ask that any application for that should be made in writing, and that he spoke to many liberal members, and also to Mr. Beales, when that proclamation was being made." I have only to add that I regret this unfortunate misconception, however it occurred, and I hear that Mr. Reales regrets it also. To complete the statement I think it right that I should now give the answer I sent him this afternoon :—" Sir —I have laid your letter of the 2 5 th July before my colleagues, and I beg to state that, pend , ng the judicial decision, every facility for obtaining which will be afforded by the government, as to the legal right of the people to hold meehngs in the royal parks, no per mission for such meetings can be given. In the event of i.e being desired to hold any open-atr meeting on the sub. ject of reform, no objection will be made on the part of her MMajesty's government to such meeting being held on Prim rose-hill." The only other observation I have to make is this, that after what has occurred I really do trust that those who desire to promote these meetings, with a view of set tling this question, will notthink it necessary toaasert that right by means like those which were had recourse to on Monday. I further hope that on whatever side of the house gentlemen may sit they will aid us in the mainte nance of those rights and privileges which her Majesty's government believe belong to the crown. (Cheers.) Mr. J. S. MILL—My object in rising is to make a state ment which I believe will be satisfactory to the whole of the house. I ham just had an interview with Mr. Realm and several leading members of the Reform League, in cluding the whole of those who were present at what may be called the second interview with the Home Secretary, and to which he has referred, and I have full authority from them to say that so far as they are concerned there has been no council of the League held, and they are not in a position to speak for the League. (Laughter.) Do bon. members suppose that the members of the Reform League do not mean what they say! I tell them that they do. What I have to sty ia thm : that these gentlemen them-elves regret extremely that the misunderstanding el ould have occurred with regard to the communication made to them by the right hon. gentleman. They are certain that the misunderstanding is in no way imputable to him. Their interview with him left on them • most favourable impression of his character, and disposition, and feelings— (cheers)—and there is nothing which they would more re tire: than to say anything in the slightes t derive o ff ensive to him. This beim; the case, it is unnecessary to enter into the circumstances, though I might state some which n fight account for the misunderstanding. The very same otives which induced them to exert themselves to pre vent last night whet they firmly believrd would have te sull.ed in bloodshed besides other borrors—these name motives preclude them from taking any advantage of or acting on what is now shown to be a mis conception. Whether they will accept the offer of Primrose hill, or consider that at present it is better to abstain from say weeting altogether, I am not authorised to state, and perhaps they do not themselves feel autho rised to give • decision on that offer without consulting the council of the Reform League ; but so far as the influ ence of those gentlemen goes nothing will be done that can possibly cause any dange- to the public pesos. (Cheers.) The subject then dropped. THE HELSTON ELECTION PETITION. - - - On the adjourned debate on consideration of the report from the Holston election committee, Mr. LOWE moved that the order be discharged. Mite a discussion, the resolution (which was, that by the law of parliament, in the event of equal votes being polkd by two or more candidates, it was the duty of the returning officer in England to return all inch candidates) was, on a divison, negatived by 135 to 6. THE RAILWAYS. Oa going into committee of supply, Xajor JERVIS moved for a commission to inquire into tlre condition of the railways of this country as regards tl•sir ability to fulfil their engagements to the public, having due regard to all parties concerned. The subject having been considered by several members, Sir S. NORTHOOTE said that no good purpose could be served by the issue of the commission proposed, evecially as there was already sitting a communion to inquire into the whole question of railways. The motion was withdrawn. SUPPLY. In committee of supply, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved a supplementary estimate of 4,9701., for a supply of gun metal for the Prince CO6BOll Memorial ; and stated that it was only a carrying out of an undertaking made by the late Lord Palmerston, which was agreed to. Mr. LOWE moved the balance of the estimate of 102,744/. for the British Museum, which showed an in crease over that of last year-98,164/. He stated that many valuable additions had been made to the collection by purchase and donation; but the evil of want of epee* not only was not abated, but greatly incensed. The votes were agreed to, as were the votes to complete the estimates for the South K ensington Museum, Irish Education, the 17Liversity e to i tn i t don, Scottish Universities, Queen's University, and Queen's Colleges (Ireland) ; Royal Irish Axdoray ; National Gallery (Ireland) ; College of Belfast ; National Gallery ; National Portrait Gallery ; Civil Service Defi ciencies ; Monument to Viscount Palmerston ; for turret ships ; and for medical officers of the navy. The whole of the Minds' were thew gone through. The ether basics wee disposed of, ask the house ad jemmied aim* after 2 o'clook. This most imprening meeting alunresneed yesterday, and the great SWAM wish which it was attended gives promise of its becoming one of the meat Important gatherings of the home circuit. The neentive have spared wither trouble nor expense to make the& meeting worthy of the increasing patronage it has of late years received, and with • capital course a convenient distance from Landon, their praiseworthy efforts, we feel sure, will not be thrown away. The attendance wee very large, far beyond Ind year, in tact the most sanguine supporters of the meeting were astonished at the crowded state of the ring and stand, the latter, one of the prettiest and best ap pointed in EasSend, being absolutely too small for the large number of visitors, while a number of frublousble carriages stationed oppoatte the stand teetined to the popularity of the meeting with the gentry of the neighbourhood. The course wee very hard, but this objection able feature was somewhat obviated by capital herbage. The rain however that threatened during the latter part of the afternoon would have been mod welcome to owners and trainers. As will be seen, the sport wee excellent, and the fields numerous throughout the day, affording • marked contrast to the paltry contests at many of UM se-called important meetings of the season.

A court-martial aasembled on board her Ma jesty's ship Victory to-day, under the presidency of Cv tain E. Tatham, to try Lieutenant M. R. IL Griffith, second lieutenant of her Majesty's ship Gladiator, on the following chargea : 1. For having, on or about the 10th of June, been guilty of an set to the prejudice of good order and discipline. 2. For behaving disrespectfully to Cap tain Apra, of the Gladiator, on being spoken to by him on the nibject referred to in the first charge. 3. For having on several days named been guilty of further acts to the prejudice of good order and discipline. The simple facts of the case appear to be them : When the Gladiator was off the island of Heligoland, Captain Aplin sent • boat ashore with an orderly who was the bearer of a letter addreieed to somebodz on the island, with directions for the orderly to await an answer and return with it in the boat Soon afterwards Lieutenant Griffith and other officers who were ashore on leave, returned to the ship in the same boat, and on the captain inquiring for the orderly, he was told that be was left ashore, and that the boat had been ordered to return for him. On being spoken to by Captain Aplin, Lieutenant Gri ffi th said he did not think he was in the wrong ; that he bad waited for the orderly twenty minutes or more, and for anything he (the prisoner) knew, he might be in a pot-shop. The pri soner added that Captain Aplin had shown a want of re spect to the officers in expecting them to wait for an orderly, and that it was the officers' boat, to the use of which they were entitled. Captain Aplin called the officer of the watch, and requested Lieutenant Griffith to repeat these observations, but he refused to do so. The commander then gave directions for the daily routine of the ship to be carried out under his (the coin mender's) directions, leaving Mr. Griffith to perform only the duties df his own watch, the first lieutenant being then ashore on sick leave. The prisoner objected on the ground that this order was unmerited, and was clograding to him self in the eyes of the officer% and crew, and this statement ho repeated in • hatter "on service." Subsequent letters were written, and the result was that Lieutenant Griffith was placed under arrest. The defence was that the order given to the aloer in charge of the host did not woolly , URA he was to wait teethe orderly ; that Captain Aplis had used very offensive exprmnona to the prisoner, and that the latter had not used the language imputed to him ; and that as to the chair of writing letters " on service," this was the only way in which an akar could obtain redress . The court found the first charge partly proved, inasmuch ; - as the prisoner did take the host, but bad no intention fit t the time of doing an sot to the prejudice of good order arid 'discipline. The esoond sad third charges were found to be proved, midst» was senteneed to lees two years i-of his the. as a sad*? bsdismissed the 'hip. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD CIRCUIT. -St _TAJTORD, JULY 26. CaowN Couirr.—(Before Mr. Justice Shea.) 111:4 corn:saw. W®l& John Cooper, 45, labourer, was indicted for the wilful murderofpim Buckley, on the 22th of April, 1266, at Coenhall. Mr. Motteram prosecuted ; Mr. Harrington defended. Briefly, the facts of the case are, that on the day named the prisoner, as was his custom, went to the house of the deceased, who was an aged woman, to eat his dinner. In the afternoon of the same day Mrs. Buckley was found deed, with her neck frightfully hacked. The prisoner did not return to his work after dieter, but wae seen, with • billhook in his hand, to go in the direction of his home, muttering as he went, and looking very strange. When he got to his house, he said to his wife in the hearing of another woman, " Mother, I have done that which will bang me, the police are after me now." His clothes were smeared with blood in several plena. Since he has been in custody the conduct of the prisoner has been very strange, and his lordship directed that several witness should be called to show whether or not he was of sound mind. Their evidence was to the effect that Cooper's conduct was more that of • child of 5 years of age than of • man, and the chief turnkey at the gaol related several instances in which, during his confinement, the prisoner had acted in a very singular meaner. The learned judge put it to the jury whether they considered the prisoner sane or not. After a few minutes' deliberation the jury returned • verdict that they considered the pruaaer insane. His lordship therefore directed Cooper to be confined during her Majesty's pleasure. WESTERN CIRCIETIT.—Eurrza, JULY 26. (Bofors Ir. Justice Biles.) CAPROF o. DZIMING.

Joke Banks, aged 34, a labourer, described as a man of no education, was indicted for the wilful murder of Ann Gilligan, at Preston , on the sth June last. Mr. liiggin and Mr. Garet proeecuted and Mr. Kay and Mr. Torr defended the prisoner. The particulars of the case were as follow :—The prisoner and the woman Gilligan had lived together as man and wife for twelve months, in a hones in Turk's Head-yard, Preston. About half-Past 10 o'clock on the evening of the 4th June the prisoner and Gilligan were drinking together at the Arkwright Arms, a publio-house in Btonegate, when • quarrel arose between them respecting some money, which he alleged she ZT eci taken out of his pocket, and he knocked her down and kicked her in the ribs several times. They left the public-house both of them in • state of intoxication, and went in the direction of Turk's Head-yard, where they resided, and on the road he knocked her down, and while she was on the ground kicked her several times in the ribs and stomach, and while she was still on the ground be jumped upon her. A little before twelve o'clock they arrived outside the house, where a woman named IAWTOI2IIOII who lived in the house, was wowed by a female callin g out, as if in agony, " Hannah." Bhe went out, and found Banks kicking the woman Gilligan, who was lying on the ground. He after wards dragged her into the house, threw her down at the foot of the stairs, then took • mallet and struck her on the head several times, inflicting one or mom wounds. He then took her by the hair of the head and dragged her up into the room above, jumped upon her, then took her up and threw her violently from the top of the stairs to the bottom. Again h e dra gg e d her up-stairs, and again he jumped upon her. She crept into bed, end, after some time, the prisoner followed her. About five o'clock in the morning she got out of bed, and was found leaning against a box, moaning heavily. Her moans awoke the prisoner, who got out of bed and kicked her in the stomach several times. He then left her, and about eight o'clock she was found bleeding from a wound in the head. A doctor was sent for, and under his direc tion she was removed to the workhouse, where she died the same evening. A post-mortem examination was made, and it was found that • rupture of the bowels, the result of the prisoner's violence, was the cause of death. The jury found • verdict of Guilty, and the prisoner was :Unwed to death. ..- MARKET/ TALLOW.—Tninasnix Eviamm.—The Tani* was quiet at the followingpriete :--epot, 4414 ; o s itt December. Vi. 34.

Yesterday, at the West Riding Court, at Bradford, Mr. J. Collins, veteri nary inspector in the East Marley division, reported that since the 13th inrt., the day on which they were bought, Mr. Wm. Milner, of Calverley, had lost no fewer than 13 pigs by disease, three of them having been destroyed by his order. He (Mr. Collins) had, with Mr. Carter, made a post-mortem extunination of two of the pigs. The symp toms when the animals were living were in many respects similar to those of cattle plague. He found the mucous membranes of the stomach, bowels, and bladder very much diseased. Purging came in two or three days before death ; the , eye was sunk ; the gait was staggering; there was discolouration of the cuticle, with eruptions on the skin. The disease, no doubt, was an infectious fever, and he deemed it proper to call the attention of the magistrates to the circumstance. As the ofEoer was unable to swear the disease of the pigs was cattle plague, the bench said they w ere unable to give him any advice.
