JUDAH PHILIP BENJAMlN.—Yesterday even ing the Benchers of the Hon. Society of Lincoln's-inn called to the bar no less than 29 candidates for forensic honours. Amongst these was Mr. Judah Philip Benjamin, of the late Confederate States, so-called, of America. A number of the members of the English bar regard the circum stances connected with the call of Mr. Benjamin with feelings of the strongest disapprobation. Mr. Ben jamin has had nearly the whole of his terms remitted by the benchers of the inn, and is by his unseasonable call, although a norus home in the profession, made to lead, as it le expressed —that is to enjoy pre-audience over distinguished members of our universities, who have been keeping their terms for years. Why this has been done the public must be left to judge. What peculiar claim Mr. Benjamin can have upon the benchers of Lincoln's-inn it would be difficult to ascertain. Mr. Judah P. Benjamin was published us a barrister in the usual form by Sr Edward Ryan, and the presence of the gentleman who was so lately in rebellion against the lawful government of the United States ex cited a good deal of emotion and curiosity. Vice-Chan cellor Sir W. Page Wood was present at the ceremony. After his call, Mr. Benjamin dined at the students' table, and at the close of the dinner—the new-made barristers being called up by name to the bar table in order to take dessert in the private room of the benchers—upon the name of Mr. Benjamin being called there was considerable applause, not, however, untangled with very distinct hisses. It is a somewhat singular cir cumstance that immediately preceding Mr. Benjamin was a dark-skinned gentleman from the East Indies, who will be the late Confederate's senior. Some of the applause was intended for this gentleman. Mr. Benjamin is a short, thick-set man, verging towards middle age. The oath of supremacy and abjuration was taken by him with the ut most nonchalance.—Star. SACRILEGE. —St. Paul's Church, Westminster road, Southwark, was broken into on Tuesday evening last, and various articles of furniture, surplices, Communion cloths, Communion plate, &c., stolen. The thieves effected an entrance through one of the larger windows, and made their escape before their doings were discovered. The im plements with which they opened one of Mordan's large patent safes were left in the vestry, and it is supposed from what the thieves accomplished that they must have been in the church for some hours. TRIAL TRIP OF A Nsw AERIAL MACHINE. —The trial trig of a new aerial machine tout place in New York on the tith ult. This machine which is the invention of Dr. Solomon Andrews, differsin many respects from an ordinary balloon. Instead of being pear-shaped it more resembles a long lemon terminating in a sharp point at either end. This floats horizontally in the air, and by means of a strong netting passing over the whole bag, supports the car, shaped like a. cradle, of wicker-work, about 8 feet in length by 2in width. A strong leather strap passing along the top awl bottom of the balloon, and drawn together by cords, forms a deep groove in the upper and under aides. The principle of its operation is that owing to its peculiar form it will move much more easily in the direction of its length than in any other, and con sequently when it is rising through the air or sinking toward the earth, if one of its points be turned partially in the direction in which it is going, the balloon will glide off in the direction in which it is pointed, and thus by alternately rising and sinking in slanting directions, the machine is propelled ahead. The balloon in which Dr. length, undertook his trip is about 86 feet in extreme and 42 feet in ffiaineter in the middle. It con tains, when fully inflated, about 60,000 cubic feet of gas, and is estimated to be able to sustai n a burden of 1,800 pounds. The New York Tribune gives the following account of the trip, from one of the gentlemen who ac companied Dr. Andrews :—"At firststarting, as was appre hended, the ropes by which the rudder is managed became entangled, and the vessel drifted some distance before she could be controlled. When the ropes became clear, it was found that she could be readily managed and turned in any direction, but owing to inability to give the machine as much inclination as was needed, they were unable to make headway against the wind which had by this time become quite fresh. The utmost they could do was to hold themselves from going with the wind, but not to travel against it. Under these circumstances, it was not judged advisableto go veryfar away, and after cruising about for a while, the voyagers finally landed near the village of Astoria, LI. The people of Aatoria rendered them every assistance to secure and pack the balloon and they all reached New York late in the evening, highly pleased with their trip. Dr. Andrews and his companions are all satisfied that by making Dome trifling alterations in the rigging of the apparatus, they will be able to make headway against any ordinary breeze, and they are all sanguine as to the final success of their plan. As soon as the requisite alterations are completed, another trial will be made." The number of states engaged in mining iron is ten, viz.: Pennsylvania, Michigan, New Jer sey, New York, Missouri, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maryland, New Hampshire, and Ohio. Their rank, in the amount produced, is in the order named. New Hampshire and New Jersey raise mainly the magnetic ores ; New York, the magnetic and hematites ; Connecticut hematites; Pennsylvania and Ohio raise the argilaceous ores of the coal measures, and Missouri and Michigan raise the com pact red and black oxides.—Ned York Herald. manager• The liabilities amount to close upon nineteen mil lions sterling, according to the last official statement published in the Gazette last month, and which we reproduce below : LTABILrrMi.

Prussia has informed the neutral Powers that the Austrian declaration at the Federal Diet, an nouncing the convocation of the Holstein Estates, menaces her right of sovereignty in the Duchies. Against this step on the part of Austria she will immediately take peaceful action, but declares, as a co-sovereign, the convocation of the Holstein Estates and all one-sided action of the Holstein government to be invalid so long as Austria doe. not withdraw her declaration at the Diet, which constituted a violation of the Gastein convention.

The first of the Fenian invaders who made or attempted no concealment of his objects, was captured to-day upon the arrival of the tender from the City of New York, when that vessel approached the harbour on her homeward voyage. One of the passengers, Richard Quin, who is a shoemaker when not employed in military all airs, requested the captain to steam directly into Queenstown, as Le had particular business there. The captain objected, as he had to go on to Liverpool, and suggested that the tender might answer as welL Quin at first was disposed todissent from thin view, but when the tender came alongside he announced himself satisfied. As soon as she was fast by the vessel he jumped on board her, and pullingout,theatncally, a Fenian flag, waved it over his head and completed the tableau by brandishing a pistol. A single detective, however, who was on board, came forward and arrested him. The valiant Fenian made no attempt whatever at resistance, but as soon as he saw the policeman approaching him he flung the pistol over the side. When the tender landed he was searched, and there were found upon him, besides the pretty piece of silk he had been flourishing, a dagger and a revolver. His banner was about a yard long by two feet wide, of green silk, with a white cross, around which was a circle, half of which was composed of shamrocks, and the other half was made up with the inscription, " In hoc signo Ands." (uin was committed to Bridewell at Queenstown, and will be examined to-morrow. BRUTAL M URDER. —Yesterday a man named John Banks, a labourer at a tanyard, was brought before the magistrates at the Preston Police-court, charged with mur dering Ann Gilligan, a woman with whom Le had been living for some time. The deposition of the deceased was taken on Tuesday afternoon, at the workhouse. She said that on Monday she and Banks had been in a publichouse, and were coming home together, when ho said he had lost some money, knocked her down two or three times, seized her by the hair, dragged her up stairs, and threw her down to the bottom. While she lay moaning he jumped on her, kicked her, and struck her on the face. She had not done anything to him. Neither of them were sober. She had been in great pain ever since the occurrence took place, and felt herself getting worse. She did not think she should recover. Ann Lavrrenson, of No. 8, Turk's Head-yard, said that the pri soner and the deceased had lodged with her since the 21ith of May. Between 12 and 1 o'clock on Tuesday morning she heard the deceased scream out, " Annie !" Wit ness was in bed at the time, got up, went downstairs, and saw the prisoner attack the deceased in the manner described in the declaration. She then said, " For God's sake, Jack, let her alone ; are you going to murder her"' Ho said, " Yes, by God, I will, if she does not do different ; she has taken 3e. out of my pocket." The deceased replied that she had not. He then let her alone. About 5 o'clock in the morning the deceased got out of bed and put her head upon a box in the room, and moaned very much. The prisoner went and kicked her on the breast, and she fell with her head on the fire-grate. She was removed to the workhouse and died there. The prisoner said he did not murder the deceased ; she was drunk, and he was trying to carry her upstairs, when she slipped out of his arms and fell down the stairs. She had been drinking all day. The landlord of the Ship Inn had brought a barrel of ale into the house. The case was remanded until Friday. FATAL THUNDERsTosm.—On Monday this town and neighbourhood were visited by a storm of considerable severity and unusual duration. While it lasted a poor woman named Matilda Trudgett, 70 years of age, the wife of Edward Trudgett, • bedridden man of 78, was killed by lightning in the village of Troston. It appears that at about • quarter past 9 deceased was walking at the foot of her husband's bed, when she was struck dead in a moment, never moving afterwards. The electric fluid passed down the chimney of the cottage, knocking a hole in the ceiling. On examining the body of the deceased a slight bruise was found just above the breast-bone, and a little kerchief round the neck and her clothes smelt strong. An inquest was held the same day before G. A. Partridge, Esq., coroner, when a verdict of " Killed by lightning " was returned. At Holbrook, a wheat stack of 100 coorobs on the farm of Mr. W. Cornell, was struck by lightning, and before the flames could be extinguished the whole of the wheat was rendered unfit for human food. At Attle borough Mr. Wm. Muskett had a fat cow struck dead in the yard, one of his men *..'s knocked down, and • young woman at work in the turnip shed was much hurt ; part of the building was also considerably injured. Several other disasters also occurred at the same time—a donkey was struck dead, the telegraph wires melted, &c. At Rush ford, two cottages, the property of Sir Robert J. Buxton, Bart., were struck by the electric fluid and burnt to the ground.—bury and Norwich Post. The endeavours of the Grand Duke to effect a peaceful arrangement of the Auatro-Prussian dif ferences have failed. HOLSTEIN. ALTONA, JUNE 6, EVENING: A public meeting, which had been convoked by bills posted up with the consent of the authorities, was held here to-day ; 3,000 persons were present. Resolutions were unanimously adopted thanking Austria for her declaration in the Federal Diet, and expressing the desire of the inhabitants to emerge from the passive position thrust upon them, as well as their determination to uphold their right of disposing of their own destinies by forming the duchies into a separate German State, under the sovereignty of the Prince of Augusten burg. KIEL, JUNE 6, Evr.rm. The Prussian answer to the order of the Austrian government for the convocation of the Holstein Estates is expected here to-morrow. It is said that Prussia will enforce the right of co-dominion in the Duchy, which she possessed previous to the conclusion of the Gastein convention. The Prussian troops are already on the march to take possession of the Holstein garrisons unoccupied by Austrian troops. THE TURKISH MINISTRY. CONSTANTINOPLE, Jutra 5.

Basil Cane, the special commis sioner of the Poor-law Board, resumed and concluded the inquiry as to the management of the sick and infirm poor in the Strand Union Workhouse, Cleveland street, Tottenham-court-roed, on charges brought before the Poor-law Board by the late bead nurse of this and other workhouses. The case was watched on behalf of the committee of the Association for the Improvement of London Workhouse Infirmaries by Mr. Ernest Hart, Dr. Anstie, and Mr. J. C. Parkinson. Dr. Joseph Rogers was examined at great length. He repeated and , confirmedtthe statements made by the nurse at the last in- I quiry, and spoke to the obstacles which he had to en- I counter at the hands of some of the former guardians. , A document, signed by Mr. Story and Mr. Hedgoock, as guardians of the Strand Union, was handed to Mr. Cane, with a request that it be laid before the Poor-law Board. It expressed concurrence in all the chief grounds of complaint against the condition and management of the Strand Union. A vote of thanks to the commissioner, in which all concurred, concluded the proceedings, which had lasted for nearly eight hours. CRYSTAL PALACE.—ONE SHILLING DAY.—WED NEEDAY.

The afternoon, although some what threatening at times, was free from rain, and the visi tors were consequently enabled to enjoy the beauty of the grounds, which may be now mid to he in their prime. The show of flowers took place in the large marquee, endwise an excellent one, and the brightness of the colours on entering was almost dazzling. The Princess II elena, attended by Lady Barrington and General Gray, and also the Duchess of Cambridge, honoured the gardens by an early visit, and among the company we noticed the Bishop of Winchester, the Brazilian, Swedish, French , Austrian, Spanish, and American ambassador. The bands of the First and Second Life Guards performed during the afternoon. NATIONAL SOCI ETY. —The annual general meeting of this society, which has been established for the purpose of promoting the education of the poor in the principles of the established church, was held yesterday at Al illia's rooms, the Archbishop of Canterbury presiding. Amongst those present were the Bishop of Lichfield, Lord Cran borne, M.P. Lord Nelson, Lord Lyttelton, Sir Thomas Phalli s , Archdeacon Sinclair, Archdeacon Denison, Rev. Dr. Miller, Rev. J. K Kemp, Mr. J. 1w Gorst, M.P. ? &c. The report, which was read by the Rev. William Wright, in the absence through illness of the secretary (the Rev. Alexander Wilson), stated that the income of the society from subscriptions, donations, and church collections, had increased during the past year. The number of schools to which aid had been given was 151 ; the amount voted was 6,6T.M.; and the accommodation provided was for 21,377 chil dren. In aildition tothe grants towards building, the commit tee hail voted assistance in twenty-one cases towards fitting up and furnishing rooms to be used eitlieras day or evening schools. The report then referred to the " conscience clause" and its application to education, and stated that the committee objected to the condition imposed by it. No such provision was poetically required for the protec tion of nonconformists, inasmuch u. nonconformist parents and guardians scarcely evsr objected to the religious in struction given in national schools, and when they did, the clergy and school managers almost invariably con sented to some arrangement by which the objection was removed. Resolutions in furtherance of the objects of the society were imposed by Lord Cranborne, Lord Nelson, Lord Lyttelton, and ethers. FrEtn-LANE RAOGED SCHOOLS AND REFUGE.-- The Earl of Shaftesbury presided over a public meeting of the friends of this charity, held last evening, in me street, Fsrringdon-road. to celebrate the opening of the new premises of the institution, which have been erected instead of the old building in West-street, Holborn-hill, which is required for the purposes of the Holborn lai provements. The erection of the new building has in volved an expenditure of 18,'.)(0., 15,0004. of which has already been subscribed. It appeared by the report that, in addition to the ordinary beneins of the charity, efforts are being made by the committee to provide a library and reading room for lads at work, a training home for domes tic servants, and a place of worship in which the homeless poor of London may find a service especially adapted for their miserable circumstances, and where they would be provided with bread and water, to prevent their famishing in the streets. Resolutions in furtherance of the objects of the charity, and appealing for increased funds, ware proposed and spoken to by Mr. Banbury, M.P., Mr. See. jeant Payne, and several clergymen and gentlemen. A vote of thanks was moved to the noble chairman, who in re sponding to the compliment g ave ex p ression to his attach ment for the charity and the rigged schools *enerally. He said that at present twenty-five thousand children received education and care in the ragged schools of the metropolis, but there were upwards of thirty thousand others of the same class and of the same character who were totally unprovided for. He hoped the charity would increase in usefulness, and that it would not depart from the princi ple upon which it was founded.
