IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOU/ Oir LORDS.--Idomuy, ?Liam 5. Lord GRANVILLE announced that he should propose ea Thursday that the standing orders be suspended, to order that the Cattle Elope Bill night pan through all Its repealer* stages ea ties day. The LORD CHANCELLOR then moved the wooed reading of the Law of Evidence Act Amendment Bill, the main purpose of which be described to be to enable a husband or wife—parties to a suit in the Divorce Court — to give evidence where abiltury is alleged. As the object of all legal inquiries is the ariertaismeut of truth, the inneadroeut in the law whit* he proposed could nos be to. misted on the ground of justice. Lord CHRLYSIORD objected to the proposed altera tion as one that would inevitably lead to perjury, for although the bill was only permissive, yet, it parties abstained from giving evidence, the infereoce would always be against them, and thus a temptation to fel* swearing would be held out. He therefore moved that the seeood reading be deferred for six months. Lord TAUNTON also objected to the bill on simile/ grounds. • Upon • division the numbers wore found to be equal, and the LORD CHANCELLOR, following the usual practice, was compelled to declare his own motion to be negatived. Upon the motion of the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Divunr and Matrimonial Causes Bill was read a 'wood time. Their lordships adjourned at 25 minutes to 7 o'clock.

B. 00CHRANE t 3 put questions on Thursday next is the Presi bat of the Board or Trade on the subject of the excessive mortibty which had lately uo3arred on board ships conveying 0006116 CAPTAIN COLES. Mr. YERRAND to sok the Secretary of the Admiralty to- morrow what was the date of Captain Coles's reinstate ment, and whether the gallant °Meer received any oMaial intimation of his reappointment till after the adjourned debate on the navy estimates on Thursday last. (Laughter.) THE LOSS OF THE LONDON. Mr. BOBBY asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, is reference to the opinion expressed In the official report of the investigation into the lois of the Lon- don, that a great annual lou of life might be avoided if the damp-load line were permanently maiked on all Teasels, he would bring Is a bill requiring the deep -load lies to be per menently marked on all vessels carrying paseengere and merchandise. Mr. M. GIBSON said the matter had been under the orasideration of the board, but there would be insuperable difflmi ties in laying dews any vale applicable to all ships by which the government officers might permanently mark the deep.load line, and decide in fact how deeply a vessel might be lawfully laden. It was, therefore, not the intention of the government to bring in any bill oo the subject. EMPLOYMENT OF CHILDREN IN MINES. Kr. AICROYD *eked the Secretary of State for the Rome Department whether his attention had been called the miss of a girl. 12 years of age, crushed to death in a col liery near Wigan, sod to the evidence gives at the isquest ; sad whether the girl bad been employed contrary to the pebvicons of the dot for the Regulation of Employment in Mines _ Sir GREY sold that he had received a very fall report upon the ease from Mr. Hickson, the government inspector. In his opinion the girl had not been employed con trary to the provis'ons of the statute ; but the employment of a child of such tender years sae very reprebee a ble. If the hon. member would move for it, Mr. Hickson's report should be laid ovi the table. WRECKS ON THE COAST OF DURHAM'. Sir H. WILLIAMSON asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he was aware that IT vessels came ashore DMZ Whitburo, on the coast of Durham, between the w )ntbs of September and January last ; if his attention bad been called to a rumour of Nee lights having been exhibted neer Whitburn, and it there was any truth is thaL rumour. If in. whether the Board of Trade intended order ing any further ineeetigation than that abseil, instituted by the Trinity-house ; and, if there was no truth in the rumour, whether the Board of Trade intended inquiring into the circumstances under which those vessels came ashore, more especially as regards there that did so in oelm wee Cher and with as off-shore wind? Mr. GIBSON said the board was aware of the casualties In question, and had inquired into the rumoured exhibition et false lights. He dtd not, however, believe that that rumour was true, and did not think any further isivesitiba lion intuit necessar y . There seemed to have been notl"ng peculiar in the c ircumstances under which the vessels bad come ashore. The propriety of putting up an additional light on the comet of Durham was under con sideration. POOR DEBTORS. In answer to Mr. liantzr, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL meld that, on the 10th of December last, the Master of the Dolls had directed the neceestry steps to be taken for settling a scheme to sd atinieter the charitable finds formerly applicable to the relief of pour debtors in the Qaten's Bench Prison, now abolished. ___ THE JAMAICA INQUIRY. Mr. BRIGHT asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer If be would undertake, on behalf of the goverment, teat all despatches and all infermation received at the Admiralty and the War Department convected with the recent tram actions in Jamaica should be laid before the royal commission Row sitting in that island. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER had better perhaps state what had been dose, for ea the Hoye , . Com mission bad made coosiderable progress at the dr :41 of the last ailvices, it might be uncertain what effect any order that might now be made would have. Sir H. S.orkv, the chief commissioner, was also the commander-in-ctOef, and therefore the military superior of all the olece-s who had been concerned in petting down the outbreak. All the documents relating to them were therefore already at his command and is his possession. The deem of the navy bad reported to the Admiralty, and the Admiralty felt restrained from giving up the pi pus by the circumstance that the naval officers had made their reports in obedience to from their superiors, and had not been warned that Claw report' might be stied against them. The Ad miralty had, however, by a letter of the 6th of January, desired Adnurel Hope to afford all the intormation assistance that he could to Sir B. Storks in conducting the inquiry. Mr. BRIGHT thereupon gave notice that unless the despatches were produced either in that bowers in Jamaica be should brier ' forward a distinct motion for their priority, thou. Colon' S. KNOX widted to know why the same rule bad sot been acted upon towards the soldiers as had been fol lowed in the case of the sailors—why the latter should not be famed to criminate themselves, and the former should! The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the gallant gentleman had misunderstood hisstaaemest. The same tale had been acted upon in both COMM The naval officen ?sal reported to their superior+, and the military bad done the nine; but Sir H. Storks was the superior military officer, end his responsibility as the head of the commis sion would be affected by the knowledge which he had ob tained by means of the clt 'patches. THE CHITECH-RATE BILL. Mr. WALPOLE asked the hoe. member for Btoke-upon- Tient whether he intended to goon with his proposed reso- lution as an amendment to the second reading of the Church Batts Abolition Bill, or whether he would consent to poss. paw the consideration of that resolution no bl the house had determined the main question raised by the bill, namely, the absolute and unconditional abolition of church rates, without say substitute being provided for them. Mr. B. HOPE could not mint the *avail of his right boo. friend, cosmdering the posi.ion which the tight bon. gentlemen held iu that house, and considet log that he was tha eel, minister of the crown who had proposed from the treisury bench that particular compromise which he (Mr. Hope) recommended. He would, therefore, draw las motion, and allow a division to be taken on the main question. if the bill of the hon. member for Burt Bt. Edmunds (Mr. Hardcwitle) passed its recood reading he (Mr. Hope) would reserve his resolution till the motion foe going into committee, and if the bill were lost he would bring forward his resolution as a substantive memoir.. THE REFORM LULL. - - Mr. CRANFORD—I wish to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether hie bill for amending the repro seetat'un of the people will apply to the whole of the United Kingdom ; and if not, on what day the bill to amend the representation of the people in Scotland will be brought under the attention of the house? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—The bill which,eoeording to the notice I have given, I shall have the honour to ask leave to introduce on Monday next will apply only to England and Wale,. On that day I shell, I hope, be able to inform my hon. friend what is the course we propose to lake with respect to `Soothed and Ireland. Mr. HUNT-I beg also to ask a question with respect to the reeisionetheeleatoral statistics to which the righthon. gentleman referred the other evening. I wish to ask, for the information of the house, what is the nature of that revision to which those statistics have been enbmit'ed, sod whether the government bill will be finally settled before that revision is concluded 2 The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—The re vision of the setiaties must be interpreted as alevision of the prose only. Sabstantiallythe statistics have been very warty completed for some short time; but in particular ewes there are answers which we are expecting. However, they may be so slight that it may not be worth while to incur further delay, and I thiek I can venture to assure the Loom that the tables will be circulated is full not later than Saturday morning. (Cheers.) THE DEVONPORT ELECTION. On the motion that the Speaker to leave the chair, In ordsr that the house might go into committee of supply. Lord C. PAGET explained that be had beers in ewer the other evening is stating that the telegram to the dockyard authorities at Devouport, directing facilities to be given for serving dockyard men with fipsker's warrants, bad been sent by the orders of the Duke of Somerset. Though the duke subsequently approved the telegram, he was not aware of its being sent until some days after. Mr. HORSMAN read a letter from Mr. Phino, explaining that he had nothing to do with the petition, and did not concur in the prayer for the seat. Sir J. PAKINGTON pressed for a further inquiry into this impropertraesection by means of a select committee. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER gave some further explanations for the purpose of shawls( that the Admiralty Sad not been guilty of any error, and he pro mised in a day or two to lay before the house she explana tions which had been asked for from the dockyard autho rities. In answer to • question from Mr. ROZBOCII, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that the service of the Speaker's warrants at the residences of the men would not be auffieient. The subject dropped after a few words from Mr. HUNT and Mr. B. 00CNIANZ. THE SECRETARY FOR WAR'S PATENT. In answer to asperities from Captain VIVIAN, The Marquis of HARTINGTON stated that a docameal had been drawn up by Sir G. C. Lewis de fi ning the respec tive functions of the Semetary for vra and the Comman der-in-Chief, which was signed by the Qum', sod skill re medied in form, and he promised to lay a copy on the table if at were moved for. THE DANUBIAN PRINCIPALMFS. Hr. D. GRIFFITH put some4i i citui in reference to recent sweats in the Danubian dies. bet The CHANCELLOR of the CHEQUER, on the ground that • conference of the great powers was about to meet on the subject, declined to sity more than that the object of that conference would be to carry out the treaty of 1856. THE ARMY ESTIMATES. In committee of supply, The Marquis of HAIITTNGTON mond the truly esti mates, and stated that they showed redivide. of 263,4471. over those of last year, sod amounted on the whole to 14,095,001. ; being a oostinuation, however oomparatively small, of rededicate in successive years, white had mashed in the aggregate to above two millions, There had been an increase of 71,0331. for the commissariat, owing to the price of revisions; 56,2001. for the militia, 13,103 for the volunteers, sad 30,8001. in the item of works, sad yet then had been a general diminution of a quarter of • millitm ; besides which an antici pated reduction by the withdrawal of Imps from New Zealand bad not yes taken place. There was to be • diminution of British troops in India, namely, 65,287 men as against 71.014. The number of moo pro posed for the present year was 142,477, there being no change in the number of the artillery, cavalry, or guard., but two companies in certain battalions of the infantry would he reduced, making a decrease of 4,360. The sow blishment of infantry would be 39 battalloce in the eolo nice, 50 in India. and 50 at home. The officers who would be placed on half-pay would be provided for by 60 unat tached lientenanteoloaeloies and majorities, and the re taining of the remainder as supernumeraries until they are absorbed in their regiments by filling up vacancies. Is refe rence to the obvious falling off of reeruitieg in the army it had not be considered desirable to hike any steps to hold out further inducements to met to Wed notil after inquiry by a royal commission, which would be appointed. rd which would deal also with the subject of limited enlistment. He stated that the militia would be called out in the usual way, and would this year be eatitled to sew clothing, which Recounted for the ligrillie; and that for the volunteers was caused by the increase in men claiming the bounty for efficiency, while the whole fore, numbered 178,000 this as against 170,0C3 last year. Is regard to the manufacturing department, there was little change in the amount of charge; as related to the question of ordnance, which it involved, it had appeared that the system of both Armstrong and Whit worth were valuable both as regards heavy metal, rifling, and strength ; the di ffi culty as to the Whitworth system being that sufficient quantities of the steel required were not easily obtained, while Armstrong's was found to be adequately strong for all purposes of actual envies. In the navy prefers)°, wee given to Whit worth, sod is the army to Armstrong. A number of large guns on Whitworth's plan were beiog constructed for movies is the may. There had been constructed of large guns-30 of wise and twelve tons, 27 of seven toes, sod 229 of ale and • half tons, while • large addi tional number death were nearly ready, some of them being of 22 tons, and some of 18 toes. Wit t regard to moan arms and supplying the army with breech-loading rides, none of the pleas of converge') had been accepted, and no contract had been made, but Schneider's system promised to be one which might be adopted. Alluding to the asses of Fenian : ism in the army in Ireland, be stated that they were most probably those of men who had enlisted for the purpose of , eedeavouring to corrupt the men ; there had never for a moment been any serious doubt of the loyalty of the soldiery. The matter would be, however, isveratigated carefully. He concluded by moving a vote of 142,477 men for the service of the correct year. General PEEL, after criticising some arithmetic-! • blunders in the est , mater, expressed h s gratification at the announcement of a royal eocamisaion co recruit ' ing, and hoped that the house would undertake the inquiry into the management of the Army Reserve Fund. He discussed the plan for reductioo, condemn ing the dismissal of • single drilled soldier from the army at the present moment, sad wanted the ' committee that in the present unsettled state of our &nise i manta no great reduction was possible. He also coedemned the excessive expenditure in the administrative depart • meats, pointing particularly to the large amount for pen lions and Toth inf allowances. A long discussion followed, in which the militaty mem ' bers of the bona* took the leading part, the subjects de • bated including, inter alia, the improvement of small arms, musketry teeining, fortifications, military education, the ' reserve fund, promotions, War-office clerkships, sad the marriage of soldiers. Eventually the vote of 138,117 men for the British army was agreed to, as was also the next vote of 178 men belonging to the native Indian army em ployed in Labium. On the vote of 5,362,5001. for the general staff and reel ' mental pay, • discussion was raised on the expediency of maintaining the Hythe and Fleetwood Schools of Musketry on the present system, by Sir 0. Rome & who moved the omission of 10,G,:31. from the expenses of those establish ments. Ultimately the Marquis of Hartington heeling • promised to institute an inquiry into the system of teach ing, the amendment was withdrawn and the vote agreed to, after a motion to report progress had been negatived by 55 to 4& The Princess Helena's Annuity Bill was read a third time and passed. The Prince Alfred's Annuity BM was committed pro • former__ The Marine Mutiny Bill was read a seeond time. The Peecione Bill passed through oommittee. The remaining business was disposed of, and the House adjourned at 20 climates to 1 o'clock. Tait INTERNATIONAL HORTICULTIIIIAL EXHIBI nom—We understand that the prospects of the Grand International Horticirdraral Exhibition and Botanical Con gress, to be held at South Kensiegtoe is May next, are moat aneoureging. The ground to be occupiet zl,i bythe show, which is a portion of the site of the '62 . bition, is already under preparation for the erection of the monster tent, and according to the plans which have been adopted, the interior arrangements will be made most effective. The complimentary banquet to the learned foreigoers who are invited to take part in the proceedings, or to attend aide's- , ✓ates from foreign governments, and which, thanks to the pity cot ?oration, is to he held is the Guildhall, is drawing in as subscribers to the fond many who are anxious to do homage to the distinguished visitors who will honour the occasion with their presence. Whilst the Botanical Out grew which is to be under the presidency of K. de Candelle, is assuming from day to day a more prac.ioal shape; several eminent botanists both at home and abroad have already joined in working it oat to a successful The meetings of the congress are to be held in the Raphael Cartoon-room at South Keesiagtoe, by per mission of the Committee of Council on Education. This great horticultural movement, it should be remembered, is wholly of au independent character, aid it must be a source of great gratification to the friends of ecientifio horticulture in this country that it has attracted so large an amount of voluntary pecuniary support, without which, indeed, ft could not have been attempted. The expertise, however, will be heavy in proportion to the magnitude of the under taking, and we learn officially that farther aid is necessary to secure that the combined exhibition and congress be oar raid out in a spirited manner, which is highly desirable, having regard to their international character. COBDEN MEMORIAL—A meeting of subscribers to the Cobden memorial at Manchester was held yesterday afternoon, Mr. Malcolm Roes presiding, to decide upon the appropriation of a balance of the fund after defraying the cost of a statue, 2,50 W., by Mr. Marshall Wood. The total subscription is 4,42 W. It was resolved, on the unanimous reoommendstion of the executive committee, to devote a sum of sot lees than 1,250!. to the endowment of the chair of Political Economy at Owee'e College, Manchester, on condition that its professor deliver each session a course of weekly evening lectures, to which any of the public primary school teachers or pupil teachers engaged in Manchester or Salford shell have free admission. The remainder of the food would be invested as a prise -fend for these teacher students. It was explained that the object le to seamy a more general diffosioa of knowledge of political economy amen; the people by first of all promoting its acquirement by the primary school teachers. 01,ERKZNVali ORICHOVO AND THE „ POOR. , . The peat-houses of Clerkenwell are as revolt ingly unfit for sleeping-places as when we com mented on them last. On Sunday evening forty men and women were crammed into wards with nominal accommodation for thirty, and, having been locked up in the dark, were left to scramble or fight for room as they thought fit. At 9.30 p.m. the pad lock wan, at our request, removed from the door of the ward for males, on the western side of the yard, and, after borrowing a workhouse lantern from a pauper attendant, we walked to its extreme end. It was but a few paces, yot we are unable to fully describe the scene, from physical inability to remain in the foul effluvia we met. The instant the door opened a chorus of complaints was offered up by the occupants of the bunks, who were lying perfectly naked upon straw mattresses, with a single rug over them. A division between each sleeping-place has been put up, as advised by Mr. Farnall ; but these divisions are made to aggravate the very evils they were designed to prevent. In many of the narrow spaces partitioned off for one person, there were, on Sunday, two naked men lying, their bodies in such close contact as to look like one many-legged double-headed mon strosity rather than two human beings. When asked why they took off their shirts, the reply was the same as at our previous visit : "It's impossible to keep them on for—(insects)." No shirt or substi tute for shirt is provided by the workhouse, no bath is given, and no work enforced. Two stupid looking dazed youths had not succeeded in forcing themselves into one of the already occupied bunks, or in finding room to lie down, and were now sitting patiently in the dark, at the feet of their more fortunate brethren. They neither looked at the faces of those coming in, nor spoke, nor moved, but followed the lantern with hungry eyes, as if its light conveyed some dim sense of warmth and comfort. Meanwhile, those in bed clamoured loudly on the insufficiency of straw in their mattresses ; the impossibility of sleeping two in a bed; the cold, the insects, and the thinness of the rugs. Accepting an invitation to see "the sort o' thing a poor man had to lie on who would have to look for work to-morrow," we passed to the far end of the closet. It was impossible to stay there. No one had complained of the smell, but the foul, acrid stench of human bodies and human breath was so overpowering that it was with some difficulty we struggled against nausea and dizziness, and made for the door. This was re. locked, while the people within growled and shouted, and finally kicked at it, and were left to wallow in the darkness and their filth, like so many obscene animals who were disgusting to others and hateful to themselves. Crossing the narrow yard and descending a few steps, we are at the door of the cellar where the remaining male tramps are lying. This unlocked and opened, the first object the light from the lan tern falls on is the figure of a perfectly naked man, who has just succeeded in opening the cellar window. This forlorn being goes back to his lair, and, wrapping his rug round him, cowers down in corner, in a manner horribly suggestive of a wild beast. " We're bein' poisoned," "We can't breathe for the bad smell," "Turn out the man with the sore leg," " Here's another one here with fever," were shouted out; and it was found that the window had been opened and the disturbance made because the dreadfully noisome condition of one casual made his present* dangerously offensive even to the obtuse senses of the poor wretches round. He was an old feeble creature, who had gone to bed in his clothes, and who promptly turned up his tempers when asked what he suffered from. A foul and dirty bandage, saturated with matter and discoloured with blood, concealed his sore, the rank, putrescent smell of which filled the atmosphere of the ward. Bad as the stench of the first sleeping-place was, it became insig nificant when contrasted with this • while the closely packed naked fi gures, the squa lid room, and the darkness, made up an aggregate of disgusting horrors exceeding anything yet revealed of any other workhouse in England. The man with the bad leg eagerly availed himself of an offer—only made through the accident of our visit—to be taken into the house, and was removed to the re ceiving ward. Shake-downs were ordered for the twos lads • the casual accused of fever denied the charge, a nd so was again locked up with the rest, who were left to squabble for room, to swear, to recriminate, and to inhale the shockingly: poisonous air until the morning. PRINTER& PENSION SOCHI/T.—The annual meet ing of the subscribers of this society as well as the election of tan persons to its benefits took place yesterday afterooon at the London Tavern ' • Mr. C. Heed, F.&A., in the chair. The report, which was read by the secretary (Mr. Hodson). stated that with the view of concentrating the effort, of the existing trade charities, the society had agreed to au amalgamation with the almshouse Society, and it was be lieved that tide change in the constitution of the charity would immeasurably add to its benefit.. The anniversary festival held last July ender the presidency of the Right Hon. W. E Gladstone, Chancellor of the Exchequer, was attended with great success, and the funds of the corpora -1 tion were increased 4281. by the event. The arsenalsub ' soriptions of the past year had amounted to 6421.1.. Bd., and the life subscriptions to 4901. 18s. The amount of the funded property of the corporation was 11,7561. 12s. 2d. During the year, evidence of the thankful spirit with which the beciefits of the charity were received, was found in the fact that the relatives of pensioners had written to the com mittee gratefully acknowledging the usefulness of the society's operations. A feeling of regret bad been expreesed that there was no means for giving temporary relief to she disappointment of unsuoceedul candidates at elections, and in order to meet the desire that 110100 provision should be made for those persons, a private subscription was set on foot sod a donation of D. bad been given to each aosuccens ful candidate on last year's list. The chairman moved the adoption of the report, and expressed his satisfaction at the satisfactory results which had attended the labours of the society. He announced that this year's festival of the charity would take place on the 6th of April. Ten pen sioners were elected, being two in addition to the usual number. _ ROYAL INSTITUTION Or GREATBRITACR.—At the general monthly meeting yesterday, Sir Hairy Baked, Bart., M.D., D.C.L.

Jiluotc. __...__ PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY. The first concert of the Philharmonic Society's My-fourth swan took place last 'venlig at the Hanover some-room& It consisted of Hobart Schumann's celebrated eaatata, Paradise and the Peri, now ,performed for the second time is this oouatry. It will be remembered that it was produced by the Philharmonic) Society tea years ego . It formed the Lat concert of the mason of 1866, wham the priocipal soma° part was smog by Madam Otto Geldschmidt (Jenny Lied), at whose suggestion, vs believe, it was brought forward. We may remind our readers that the words of this cantata are • German version of the well-known episode in Thomas Moors's Lalla Bookir, re-translated into English by Mr. Bartholomew, who, with great skill and judgment, con trived to adhere very closely to Moore's own words. The piece was got up with great care, and admirably performed under the able direction of Professor fiterndale Bennett ; bat the result was in some measure • disappointment, and the reception of the work was not such as to encourage its repetition. Bet Schumann has, since that thee, become better keown and more justly appreciated by the English public ; and the directors of the Philharmonic Society felt the time had come when a more favourable reception of Gine of his greatest works might be reasonably expected, and in thinking so they have judged rightly. The performance in all respects was excellent. The prin cipal singers were Madame Parepa, Miss Rebirth)* Hen derson, Miss Emily Pitt, Mr. Cummings, Mrs. Whiffet), and Mr. Lewis Thorned. The chorus wis strong; and complete ; very great care was bestowed upon the rehearsals, and a decided success was the result. The mask was listened to throegbout with earnest attention ; and the passages most remarkable for beauty, pathos, poetical imagination, and descriptive effect, wine applauded with great yet discriminating warmth. Several ASOTCO2UX, particularly the charming tenor solo and quartet in the wood part, "The Peri weeps," was encored with enthusiasm. Madame Parepa's whole performance at the part of the Peri wee a superb display of vocal power, and et the same time full of delicacy, tenderness, and feeling; sad all the other performers did justice to the beauties of the work and keener to themselves. W. by no means my that all parts of the week were equally happy or equally appreciated by the audience. Schumann appears to have defects, width still stand in the way of his gnome, in this country at lout. He is elaborate to a fault, and is apt to bury beautiful thoughts under • Iced of oompliested harmony mid redundant instrumentation ; so that his music fatigues IMO than it delights the ear. But it is found by experience that faults of this kind are more apparent than real ; that seeming obscurity, heaviness, and harshness often disappear as acquaintance. This, we are convinced, is the case with Robert Schumann's music; the oftener it is heard the more it will please ; and, therefore, we trust that the Philhar monic Society will soon give us another opportunity of hearing Paradise end the Peri. The next concert, on the 19th instant, is singularly at tractive. Joachim and Clara Schumann p'ay conoertoe ; Miss Louisa Pyne is the singer ; and the programme in eludes Mendelsiohn's Italian Symphony, a quartet of Haydn, and the overture to Massoiello. Drama.

Bd. be paid for a day's work, such day's work to be • tide up and tide down, with the mooring of the barge, all work beyond that to be paid for extra, as overtime." Another rule stated that all disputes be re fined to a board of arbitrators, to consist of an equal num ber of masters and men. 'tire rules underwent mender able discussion, and were ultimately adopted with mine verbal alterations. Several speeches were then made in fa • your of the reduction of the boon of labour, and especially as to the necessity of doing away with Sunday work, both of which it was maintained could be accomplished if the men would rally round the society now estabbibed. The oece‘aPy of making an application to parliament for an amendment of the Waterman and Ligatermen's Act was also strongly advocated.

Justin Shea) FILL V. anima.—Llß= Mr. I)igby Seymour, Q. 0.. and Mr. Fit:lames Stephen for the plaintiff ; sad Mr. fierjeuit Hayes and Mr. Field for the defendant. Mr. B. Seymour, in opening the case, remarked that the libel complained of was singular in many respect. on ac count of its character and the relation formerly subeistieg between the plaintiff and defeadast ; the circumstances under which the libel was spoken and subsequently printed. At the time the libel was spoken the defendant was the vicar of Cabbington, sear Warwick, and the plaintiff, a far mer, was one of his parishioners, and held his glebe farm. The defendant entered his living is 1855, and °optioned the duties until last year, when he resigned. Ia 1860 the plaintiff did not pay his rent punctually, and • rumour to that effect was circulated in the village, and plaintiff woe told by the vicar that it must have arisen with his butler. The defendant thee directed plaintiff's attention to a to affecting the chancier of • married woman living is a cottage on the glebe, farm, and told him he ought to in quire into the matter, which the plaintiff refused to do. At another interview, the defendant demanded an apology from the plaintiff for " coutradicing his vicar," which was refused, and the plaintiff received notice to quit the farm. The libel wee uttered from the pulpit by the defendant on the 24th Sept., 1865, and was as follows :—" But some men will say—some of the many strangers now present wOl ask, is there not a cause for all this opposition! I have not come into collision with • angle men is the parish on any subject of business save a fanner tense at the glebe farm, with whom I bad sever an implement word, aid for whose convenience I had 'pest • large sem et mosey, and to whom, ea his landlord, I had sever refused a favour until he insulted me. This rasa told me in my own house, without any provoostioa es my part, that he per posely did sot stop, but rather sneoursged the els of adul tery under the roof of my own cottage, beanie lee buoy that by so doing he should annoy me. These are his ova woods. 'gave him eves7opportnnityof riszactiaginich words, but as be refused to do ss, and persisted is' his iniquitous work, I tuned him out of the farm. 'The Lard e be tweet him and me.' That same wicked, yisg farmer, aided by a neighbouring one, as I am informed, is striving to empty Cubbington Church at this vary moment, by helping to put falsehoods into the Leamington newspapers against me. `The Lord judge between him sad me.' * The de fendant bad printed and circulated the sermon containing the libel, and had to-day pleaded "not guilty, and a justifi cation," the latter plea being in the declaration stated to be that plaintiff had told him "he purposely did not stop, but rather encouraged the sin of adultery, because he knew by DO doing be should annoy the defendant.' The plaintiff corroborated the entrain, of the leaned eousesl. Sedan. Hayes, on the part of the defendant, coat robed that the defendant was justified in saying what he dide lad that as the plaintiff had published various letters in • lewd newspaper, athenteg the character of the defendsut and his wife, he weld only be actuated by vindictive f= in the present action. He admitted that the nv. man bad spoken more warmly than he himself sea maks moments approved. The defendant and several witoesaes were called, who con tradicted the statement of the plaintiff in various parties less. The jury returned • verdict for the plaintiff, with as. farthiag demagog. The case lasted the whole day, sad excited considerable interest. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. Morris Balser, 22, commisaion amt., a German, was is dieted ors four iodistreents far stea. jewellery, amount tog in the aggregate to about 5001. Mr. F. B. Lewis (instructed by Lewis and Lewis) pro. scented ; the prisooer, who pleaded guilty to all the manta, was undefended. Mr. F. H. Lewis said these eaveral indictments were preferred against the prisms: for stealing this large quan tity of jewellery, and which be had obtained from the pro. locators under the protean that he had an opportunity of selling them. The prisoner was know!: to the prosecutors, but it appeared that he had contrasted habits of extrava gance, and they had led him to the oommission of these offeoces. He (Mr. Lewis) wished to call the attsatiou of the court to the conduct of the pawnbrokers in this ease, for it seemed that property to the amount of several hun dreds of pounds had been almost given away amongst the family of Atteeboreogb. They bad received the property on deposit notes at 15 per amt., with power at sale over the same in one or two months, so that under sods a system the property might have altogether passed away and saver been recovered. No inquiry was made as to the prisoner, who was a perfect stranger to them, and if es y gessoes onFht to be indicted, this was the uses, for they bd given this man every facility for disposing of stoles property. As the prisoner, however, had given every miasma in re covering the stolen property, the prosecutors recommended him to mercy. The Assistant-Judge—lt is not the duty of this court to originate prosecutions, but I think it would be well for theme jewellers to coo lder whether they ought sot for their own protection to indict some of them pawnbrokers for receiving stolen property. I shall allow the pawn brokers no expenses, and all the property must be given up to downier,. I observe, too, that all the principals of these shops are absent, and by not coming forward to state that what has been don* by their shaman had been done without doe cautious, or to give any explanation of their conduct, it leads me to suppose that they rather desire to encourage such practices. With respect to you (the pri soner) we have taken into consideration that you base bees the means of the property you dishonestly obtained Wag restored, and the court will deal leniently with you by sen tencing you to 12 months' imprisoomeot and hard labour. THE POLICE COURT& YAB.LBOBOUGH-81'REET. Mr. Bober!

He followed the fellow, and while doing so the covetable came up and told him that he had left his horse without any one to take care of it. As for saying he was drank, that was not the came, as he did not drink. He only took port and sherry. He felt sure if some one had not played a trick with h s horse that it would stand quiet for six bourn at a time. Mr. icrerbitt said he doubted what the defendant said ve7 muck, as he did not drive horses of the kind he de. sontad. He believed what the constable bad said, sad should fine the defendant 20a.

I asked him what he did there, and he made no answer. I told him he must come with me, and he did so quietly. and I gave him into custody. I returned to the drawing-room, and fonod a great many articles re moved from their proper places. I also found that a palm of glass bad been removed fr. m !Eat window,which enabled any one from the outside to push back the catch of the win dow, and force away a bar that wept across, and which 1 found pulled down.
