IMPERIAL PART HOUSZ 07 LORD6.—MONDAT, Acta - wr 5. lx the Howls of LORDa yesterday, on the order et the day for going into committee on the Repre imitation of the People Bill, Earl RCBSELL called attention to the amendment which raised the lodger qualification from 10/. to ltd., the effect of which, he said, was to exclude the masa of the working cases in London from the franchise. He did not think their lordships con templated this result, and he, therefore, moved to Rescind this amendment by striking out "fifteen" sad substituting " ten " in the fourth clause. The Earl of DERBY was of opinion that the whole a the circumstances which had induced the House of Commons to 6x the qualification at 101. had not been clearly placed before their lordships, and they would do well to reconsider the question, and not insist on their amendment. Lord Haautmos, much as he disliked the bill as a whole, thought the time had arrived when they should endeavour to pass the bill without giving rise to angry discussion in the House of Commons, and he therefore hoped their lordships would assent to Earl Russell's proposal. Lord CAIHNS said he was in ignorance of the fact that there had already been a compromise in the House of Commons on the subject, or he should not have moved his amendment. The motion was then agreed to. Earl GRANVILLE moved to strike out the clause which enables graduates of the universities of Oxford and Cambridge to vote for the city of Oxford and town of Cambridge, saying the effect of retaining the clause would be to create ill-feeling between the graduates and the townsmen. Lord Callm' supported, and the Earl of Powis defended the clause. _ The Earl of DERBY said the number of stndents who would come on the register wo-lld be infinite aimal,•and no case bad been made out for excluding them. _ _ _ Lord CRANWORTH remarked that the general principle was clear that the universities should have no interest in the town elections. _ The motion wu negatived without s division. Lord STRATHEDEN moved an amendment on the sth clause, the effect of which w:►s to raise the county occupation franchise from a rateable value of 121. to a rental value of 20/ The Duke of hliaLsoitoutin thought it unwise for their lordships to disturb the arrangement which the House of Commons had come to on this subject. This motion was also negatived without a divi. aion, and the same fate befel another which was brought forrard by the Earl of liAliaownv to clause 17, the effect of which was to combine the repre sentation of Chelsea with that of Westminster and llarylebone, giving to the two latter boroughs three members each, his object being, as he stated, to extend the principle of the repristentation of minorities to the metropolis. The Marquis of SALISBURY moved a series of clauses to carry out his clause enabling the electors to vote by means of voting papers. Earl RussiLL said he entertained great objection to the system which would be introduced by the adoption of this principle. He could not help regarding it as the introduction of the ballot in another form. The Earl of DERBY was as strongly opposed to secret voting as any of their lordships, but provi sion was intended to be made in this case that the returning officer should during the hours of polling publicly open all voting papers transmitted to him, and read out the vote for the candidate therein named. The clauses were agreed to The Earl of DERBY said he should ask their lordship.' to read the bill a third time this day. The Railway Companies Bill and the Railway Companies (Scotland) Bill were read a third time and passed, aad several other bills having been advanced a stage, the house adjourned at a quarter to nine o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MONDAT, AUGUST 5. IN the HOUSE of COMMONS, Mr. NEWDLOATI gave notice of his intention on Friday to call atten tion to the circumstances attending the appoint ment of the committee on the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill, and to the report of that committee. Mr. GLADSTONE inquired what course the govern ment intended to adopt in reference to the amend ments made in the Representation of the People Bill in the Lords. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied that they had as yet no official information of what the other house had decided upon, and he presumed that the amendments would be printed, and that a day would then be fixed to consider them. On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the Ex camiusx it was ordered that the house meet at two o'clock this day. The Factory Acts Extension Bill was read a third time and passed. On the motion for going into committee of suPPIY, Mr. Sam.r called attention to the estimate for the maintenance of Greenwich Hospital,and mowed that the cost of management of the institution is too great, and ought to be reduced. The great object, he said, of the act of 1865, by which the number of pensioners residing in the hospital was reduced, was to decrease the cost of manage ment, but it was in fact increased. The establish ment charge was now 42,0001., of which the charge for management was 23,0001., which he submitted wax excessive, seeing that there are now only 370 men and 850 boys in the establishment. . . Mr. CORRY admitted that the establishment charges were too high, but said a committee had been appointed to consider the subject, and that he had no doubt the result of their report would be to reduce the cost. Mr. CHILDERS pointed out that the act of 1865, which was passed to reduce the number of inmates in the hospital, had been successful, inasmuch as out of the revenues a sum of 56,0001. a year is now appropriated to out-pensions, and he suggested that this might be further carried out, so as to leave in the hospital only the 160 men who kept their beds, and that even these men might be advantageously removed to Hasler Hospital. After some further discussion, in the course of which Colonel Sykes, Mr. Candlish, and Mr. Lid dell urged the claims of the merchant seamen who had paid "the Greenwich sixpence," the motion was withdrawn. One or two other subjects of minor importance luring been discussed, . . . Mr. J. B. Mitt called attention to the declaration of Paris of 1E356, so far as it relates to the right of seizing enemies' goods in neutral vessels. He submitted that by that declaration we had put away the natural weapon of a maritime people-- the right of making war on the commerce of our opponents ; that we had surrendered it without receiving any compensation; and that unless we by resuming this natural and indispensable weapon placed ourselves on a level with continental nations we should continue to be bur dened with the additions which had been made to our naval and military establishments, and in spite of them should be constantly kept in a state of alarm. The step we had taken, however, in joining in this declaration was not irretrievable ; it was not a treaty, and we were at liberty to with draw from it. He maintained that it was for the general interest of humanity that every country should tight with its own weapon, and that it was absurd to suppose that we should be at war with another nation, and that our merchants should at the same time be carrying on a roaring trade with it. If we were to withdraw front the declaration it should be in time of peace, and on ample notice to the other Powers concerned, for he should feel humiliated as an Englishman if we were to with draw from it only on war breaking out. Mr. Noitwoon contended that the principle of the declaration of Paris ought to be carried fur ther, and be extended to all private property nut contraband of war, whether in neutral bottoms or not. _ . Lord STARLET said he could not enter into the question of what might be done in a moment of extreme danger, when the existence of the nation wail in danger. ICo one could deny that this en gagement had materially altered our position both THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENT I NG, AUGUST 6, 1867. as to neutrals and belligerents. But there were some counter considerations which we were bound to bear in mind, and one was that by exercising the power of seizing enemies' goods on neutral ships we necessarily annoyed the neutrals, and ran the risk of converting them into enemies. It was not possible to deny that we had bound ourselves by this compact to all the maritime powers except Spain and the United States, and it was observed and acted upon in the Italian war and in the war which took place between Prussia and Denmark. In the war of last year between the Prussians and the Austrians the question did not arise. In all these cases we had been neutral, and had been guided by the principle of the declaration being carried out, and it would hardly be fair for us to accept the benefit of it when we were at peace and not be bound by it when we were at war. It must also be borne in mind that those who had adhered to the declaration had abandoned the right of privateering, and we had to con sider whether by. repudiating the declaration we should not be reviving the right of privateering, by which we might be great losers. He did not wish to argue it, however, as a matter of ad vantage, but as a matter of good faith. We had given a pledge to the other powers who signed it, and it would not be right for us to turn sharply round and say we would not be bound by it. At any rate we could not free ourselves from the obli gation without long notice. Sir R. PALMER agreed with Mr. Mill, that when we were at war we ought to be at war in earnest., and that the notion of a national war and a mer cantile peace was absurd ; and he agreed with Lord Stanley as to the importance of observing engage ments of this kind. Mr. Lawn:HERE hoped the Foreign Secretary would uphold the policy of the late government in this matter. After a few observations from Mr. D. GRIFFITH the subject dropped ; and Mr. WHALLEY having made some observations with a view of showing the connection between Roman catholicism and discontent in Ireland the house went into committee of supply, and the vote for the maintenance of Greenwich Hospital and schools was agreed to after a discussion, in which many of the complaints to which utterance was given in the early part of the evening as to the extravagant cost of the establishment were re iterated. Lord Naas, in proposing that 340,7001. be voted for national education in Ireland, stated that there had been au increase of 81 schools during the year, and an increase of 1 per cent. of the children on the rolls, and that the total number of children attending the schools was 983,000. The Roman catholic bishops had addressed a letter to the coin miasisners proposing certain rules to be carried out with regard to the model schools, and that Roman catholic chaplains should be appointed to them. The commissioners agreed to this plan, and requested the government to propose an increase of 19,0001. in the estimates to carry it out, but the government found that there was much opposition to the plan, that the presbyterians all opposed it, and that with regard to the board itself, out of 12 whose opinions were known seven were in favour of it and five against it. Under these circumstances the government declined to propose the amount necessary to carry out the plan. It was the intention of the govern ment to make another effort to terminate the dif ferences which existed in Ireland on this subject, and with that view they intended to issue a royal commission to inquire into the whole system of primary instruction in Ireland. He also thought it would be well to consider whether some altera tion might not be made in the composition of the board. After some discussion, in the course of which Mr. C. Fortescue remarked that the government was already in possession of sufficient information to legislee without appointing a commission, Mr. Lefroy insisted on the necessity of religious edu cation, and Mr. B. Osborne complained that the education given was not commensurate with the cost, The vote was postponed. Some other business was disposed of, and the house adjourned at 20 minutes past 2 o'clock. iiabal anis iffilitarg. PO1:TS110/"TH, AI;GOST 5.

NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Kraccassna, Auo. L. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Indies Montagu Smith.) James Clegg, 18, was charged on two indictments, one for attempting to murder 11 int= Reece, a warder at the the New Bailey prison ' Salford, and the other was for stabling with intent to do grievous bodily harm. Mr. Lereeche was for the prosecution ; the prisoner was undefended. The prisoner was sentenced at the spring maims to twelve months' hard labour for a robbery with violence. He was undergoing his imprisonment on the 3th April, and was working on the tread-wheel. About three o'clock he got off the tread-wheel, and went to sit down, which was against the ruler unless his turn at the wheel had been up. This not being the cam Reece, who had charge of the wheel, ordered him to stan di up. He drew a knife out of his pocket, which he had been allowed to cut the ends off mats made in the prison, and ran at Reece and stabbed him twice under the left ear, and once under the eye. One wound was half an inch deep and near the carotid artery, and the blade had penetrated to the bone under the eye. He had told a fellow-prisoner that he was angering from rhea matism, and could not stand the mill, and if the governor persisted in putting him to it, he would stab him. The surgeon of the prison described the wounds, and said they were not dangerous, bat had been near to dangerous parts of the head. The pr;soner told the court that he had been a great sufferer h rheumatism, and bad complained to the surgeon, who refused him an order not to go on the wheel. He said the prosecutor, Reece, was unfeeling, and had told him he was taking measure of him for his coffin, as he had previously done for another prisoner le at the wheel, who soon afterwards required it. denied this. The prisoner elicited from a fellow prisorer, called to prove the sicault, and who had often been on the wheel with him, that he had often heard the prisoner crying while undergoing his task on the wheel. The jury acquitted him of the intention to murder, but found him guilty urder the second indictment. The Judge thought the prisoner's conduct was more attributable to dislike of restraint than to illness, and sentenced him to seven years' penal servitude. JoAp Mackie, 33, was charged with having attempted to murder his wife, at Bolton, on the sth Aprll. Mr. Blair prosecuted, and Mr. Richardson defended. The proirecutrie, Mary Ann Maekie, said she was between 24 and 25 years old,. and had been married to him five years. Some seven or eight months ago she ceased to live with him, and took one of the two children with her to her mother's. The other child had been taken charge of by the prisoner's mother. She bad since then supported herself by workibg at a cotton-mill She left him because of ill-treatment, and threats that be would take her life. On the sth April, at neon, she was pearling a public-house kept by John Moores, in olton, when she beard her name called. On looking round she saw the prisoner standing at the door, and he beckoned to her. She went to him, and he took her into the bar parlour, and asked her to have I some porter. She declined, and invited him to go home to dinner with her, but he refused. She then tasted • glass of porter with him. While sitting near him he suddmly slipped one hand behind her and caught hold of her left arm, and held it while with his other band he drew a sharp instrument across her throat several times. She fell on the floor, bleeding. A surgeon proved that there were three cuts on the throat. Verdict, Guilty. Sentence, twelve years' penal servitude. Toni, Anoint? 5. Piuus Counr.—(Before Mr. Justice Lush.) •IBBIBON P. GROOM.-BREACH OF PROMIBZ OF MARRIAGE. Mr. Manisty, Q.C., and Mr. P. Thompson were for the laintiff ; Mr. Cave and Mr. Mellor appeared for the de. pendant_ The plaintiff in this action was Mils Jane Gibbison, who brought her action to recover compensation in damages from the defendant for a breach of promise of marriage on his part. The plaintiff was a young woman, 22 years of age, and the daughter of the late Mr. Gibbison, who died in August, 1865. He was a woollen draper at Retford, and also kept an inn at the same town. The defendant, Mr. Wm. Williamson Groom, was a young man, • little older than the plaintiff, and was the son of an extensive tradesman in Bond-street, London, and carried on the business of • japan manufacturer. The defendant was sent by his father to Retford to serve his apprentice ship, when he became acquainted with the plaintiff, and paid his addresses to her. After they had kept com pare together for • short time the defendant, on the sth of blay, 1865, wrote • letter to the plaintiff's father, stating to him that he bed no doubt noticed during the previous few months that he (the defendant) had frequently kept company with his daughter, and that she was his fre quent companion in his walks. They had enjoyed each other's society very much, but there was &drawback to it, inasmuch as they had not his sanction. He assured Mr. Gibbison that he loved his daughter truly, and be be lieved that his love was returned by her. His was not a love at first sight, or a mere flirtation, and they could not love each other more than they did. Mr. and Mrs. Gibbison gave their mount to the intended marriage, and the courtship between the two young people pro ceeded. A large number of letters were written by the defendant to the plaintiff, the earliest epistle referred to during the trial being dated Jan. 15, 1865, in which he ad dressed her as his dearest love. At that time the plaintiff was staying at Not ton, near Melton, with Mr. Wise, who married her sister, and the letter was addressed to her at that place. The defendant assured the plaintiff that he longed to see her, and said that her carte de visite was almost worn out in his pocket, and that her looks required no improvement. He had never before truly loved a girl, and she would find his heart warm towards her. In July, 1865, he addressed another letter to her, calling her his dearest pet, and hoping soon to receive from her • dozen kisses. On the 6th of November, 1865, in • letter addressed to the plaintiff, the defendant termed her his deareetJenny,andstated that the first letter he had written to her was on the 7th November, 1864, just twelve months previously, and he hoped that they would know each other for many years, adding, " I would I were • bird that I could fly to thee." (Laughter.) In • letter on the 4th of January, 1866, the defendant again addressed the plaintiff as his dearest pet, saying that earrings could not improve her, as she wee handsome without them, and on the 30th of the same month he told her that the more be looked at her carte de visite the more be liked her, and stated that his father had recently been put to 3,000/. ex pense in connection with his business. On St. Valentine's Eve he sent her a letter in which he said that he loved her meet sincerely, and that be believed she loved him in return. He said that valentines were useless pieces of paper, not fit for people that were engaged to each other, sad went on to say that from her lips he could hear words fit for angel's food. On the sth of June he wrote ' to her wishing her many happy returns of her birthday, trusting that not a lung tune would elapse before her name would be changed, and that the first wish he had upon earth was to prove the sincerity of his love. His father, mother, and sister became acquainted with his intended union with the plaintiff, and on the 2nd of September, 1866, he wrote to the plaintiff informing her that the mete& was approved of, but that the governor (meaning his father) " did not take very kindly to the new idea," but that time would work great wonders in this respect, and that his father wished to see his daughter-in-law. The defendant after this sent the plaintiff a gold locket with chain, containing their miniature portraits ; and at the latter end of September, 1866, the defendant's mother wrote to the plaintiff, showing that her son confided her secrets to her, and informing her that the defendant had his father's consent. Marriage was an important step to take, and her heart went affectionately towards the plaintiff, whom she looked upon as one of themselves. No doubt the union would make them both as happy as possible, and her best blessing was upon them. On the 3rd of September the defendant wrote to the plaintiff, saying that his father wished to see her carte de visite, and he was glad to state that" the governor had taken to the new idea," and that there was a bright future before them. On the 16th of the same month the defendant wrote to the plaintiff's mother, calling her his future mother-in-law, and that he bad the sanction of his father to the matriage. The next letter alluded to in the course of the case was dated the 12th of December last, in which the defendant expressed his affec tion for plaintiff in the same terms as he had to often done previously ; but on the 15th of December, only three days afterwards, the defendant changed his tone. On that day he addressed the plaintiff as his dearest Jenny, and then spoke of the bad weather, hoping that there would be a seasonable Christmas. He next refer red to three dreadful colliery explosions, remarking that it would be a sad Christmas far the poor colliers' wive, and families, spoke of the cattle plague, and the losses the farmers had sus tained, and concluded, " Believe me, yours affectionately, W. W. Groom." Within • week after this, on the 20th of December, 1866, the defendant wrote to the plaintiff stating that he had asked his father to be absent at Christ mu, but that he had met with • flat refusal and an ex pression of entire disapproval of the • e engagement. His father also declined to furnish him with means to en able him to maintain • wile, and the plaintiff knew full well that he had not • shilling to bless himself with. It therefore would not do for him to marry with such hopeless prospects. He bad nothing to support • wife, his father would not help him at all, and he could not help himself. The reason why the marriage contract was broken by the defendant, was that his father wished him to marry • woman in a better position in life than the plaintiff. Mr. Wise, of Melton, who married the plaintiff's sister, was called, and he stated that the plaintiff was staying with him in August, 1866, and that the defendant came to Molten to see her, and he told him. that he intended to marry the plaintiff. The defendant informed him that his father was an extensive tin and japan manufacturer in Bond-street. London, and employed 200 men, and four travellers, the latter of whom had from 200/. to 300/. per year each as salary. The plaintiff was staying at his house when the letter of the 20th December last arrived. She was taken suddenly ill, and remained indisposed until she de=a month afterwards. xamined—The defendant never told him that he was dependent upon his father. The mother of the plaintiff stated that her daughter came home in January last, when she was ill and de pressed. A doctor was consulted, and he found the plaintiff labouring under nervous debility. He said to her (witness) that he " could not minister to a mind diseased." The plaintiff was now a little better, but she t was still in very low spirits. Kr. Cave, in addressing the jury for the defendant, said that his client was a mere apprentice boy and, not having sufficient to do in his business at •small place likekietford, he spent his leisure time in sweethearting the plaintiff. Because a foolish boy had rashly promised marriage to a young girl, was the defendant's father to be called woe! to pay heavy damages for a matter with which he had nothiag to do. He contended that the plaintiff had es- caped from the consequences of an ill-judged and un happy marriage which would have led to nothing but misery, and the learned counsel submitted chat very small damages would meet the justice of the case. The learned judge, in summing up, mid it was clear that a promise of marriage bad been made, and it was clear that it had been broken. It therefore remained with the jury to say what amount of damages would fairly compensate the plaintiff for the injury she had sustained, so far as money could eompensate her for the position she had lost in life, and for the mortification she had experienced. The jury consulted together for a few momenta, and then found for the plaintiff, damags 7501. OXFORD ClRClllT.—Seßzwasusy, Auo. 5. czoint Courr.—(Before Mr. Julio, Mellor.) Richard Yates, an elderly mane( respectable appearanoe, surrendered on bail, charged with the manslaughtera three men at the Old Park Company's Colliery, near Shiffnal. Mr. Bo hey appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Motteram for the defence. On the 17th of May a band of eight men were descend ing the shaft of the Orange Pita, one of a number belong ing to the Old Park Colliery, of which the prisoner was engineer, when the chain broke, precipitating the men to the bottom of the pit, three of them being killed on the spot. From the evidence of Mr. Wynne, the government inspector of mines for the district, it appeared that the immediate cause of the accident was the fracture of the brass in which the journal of the fly wheel worked, and it was shown that this brass had been per mitted to wear away from an original thickness of three quarters of an inch to that of one-sixteenth of an inch, at which stage it broke. It was alleged by the prosecution that it was the duty of the prisoner to have known of and renewed this old brass ; but it was proved that he was dependent for information as to the condition of the several engines upon the engine-men's reports, and no report had been made to him with respect to the engine to which the accident occurred. . . . . Without waitin g to he•r consume] the jury stated that they were of opinion that there was no evidence to support • charge of manslaughter agaisurt the prisoner, and he was accordingly discharged. NISI PRIUB COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice Shee.) PLETCHER V. THZ GREAT WEOTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. This was an action to recover 1,5001. damages alleged to have been sustained through the negligence of the defen dents, whereby the plaintiff's husband had been killed. The deceased was at the time of his death an engineer employed at the Old Park Colliery, near Dawley, Shrop shire. His inoome averaged 3/. a week, in addition to which be had a house rent free and other perquisite'. Oa the 7th May he was returning home after seeing a friend off by rail, and in passing along a road over a bridge built by the defendants across their line, between Oakengates and Dawley, be fell over the wall, and on the following morning was found lying dead on the line. Evidence was adduced showing that the road in Question was a publics highway, and had been so used ever since the bridge was built. When originally made, the parapet wall of the bridge had been four feet high, but subse quently, by alterations made in the level of the road, this had been reduced to 17 inches, in which condition it was permitted to remain by the defendants. The points of defence relied upon were—firstly, that the road was not a public highway ; secondly, that it was not proved that the plaintiff's husband had lost his life by falling over the bridge ; and thirdly, that with the know ledge that the road was a dangerous one, it bad not been shown on the plaintiff's behalf that her husband had observed due precaution in passing over it. His lordship summed up at great length, and The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—damages, 2001. AGRICULTURAL PROSPECTS. (From the Mark-lane Exprem) The week opened with a breezy morning, with a very slight shower about noon, and fine clouds flying throughout the day ; but no more rain fell. Monday was a favourable day, sunny at times, wind N.W., thermonae ter at mid-day 63 degiees, barometer 30.10 inches. Tues day was &dull overcast day, with little sun, but no rain. Our advices on that day were as follows :—From West Riding of Yorkshire : " We have had dry weather, on the whole, for a week, though cloudy and often cold. The crops have improved in appearance, but progress slowly, and barley still looks twisted about: but wheat is better, as we ll coats . Turnips sad potatoes look healthy and flourishing, and would now stand dry weather for a time. A good deal of the late grass is being cut and making into bay, having been delayed by the rainy weather." From the East Riding:— " The weather still keeps unsettled— one day fine and another day rain; and, on the whole, unfavourable for the growing crops. Harvest is likely to be late in conse quence. The wheat crop is not so well spoken of, and from all accounts will prove below the average, unless the weather should take up, any even then the prospects of an abundant harvest are not so clear as the accounts pub ' lished by the press of late would lead the public in general to infer ; from the statements that reach us, and personal observation, we come to the conclusion that the wheat crops will prove deceptive, and, on the whole, abort of an average." From the northern part of Suffolk : " The sun less weather of the past day or two has not forwarded our crops much for harvest. They are twisted and much laid by the late rains." From Norfolk : "We have had more settled weather since last week. The wheat crops have improved, and barley is more favourably spoken of. Mangolds and turnips are doing well" Wednesday morn ing was foggy, thick, and blighting, but with no rain wind from the south•east. From the west coaa. of Scotland : " The weather has been fine sines Friday last.' From the east coast: " The weather has improved, but the nights are cold, and our crops progress slowly." From Surrey it was remarked : " Since my advioes of last week the crops have progressed quite as fast as I expected, notwithstanding the cold nights with north-east winds and frosts in the early mornings. The sth of August will com mence the harvest month here ; some early pieces have been cut, and a good manypess carried, and some samples are likely to appear at Guildford market on Saturday, for sale from several farmers near that town. The Hampshire farmers are not so satisfied with their wheat crops as ours are in this, the best part of Surrey. The Sussex farmers speak more favourably of things ; and if the weather should be favourable for them, they expect a good crop of wheat ; but I am sure the yield will be very various in all the districts that I have heard from." The-sday was a gloomy and, for the season, a cold day, with crops ripening slowly. Our advice. from Warwickthire were : " Although the weather during the week has continued fine, it has been dull with cold nights ; so that the corn crops make very slow progress, and the btu emit will be ten or fourteen days later than usual." From Suffolk : " Although the fine rein we had here on Friday last has in some places twisted our wheat and lodged a chance heavy piece of barley, yet, on the whole, we are improved; but we now greatly need a bright, sunny, warm atmos phere to ripen off and polish our grain. The weather con. tinuts cool and sunless, and our harvest will be later than expected—probably not general before the 19th rof August." From another part of the same county, inland : "As far as we can judge at pre- L sent all our crops are improved, especially barley and ' roots. Harvest work has only begun in one or two isolated cases, and wheat cutting will not be general for two or three weeks." Friday proved a dull, cold day for the season. Our advice, were as follows :—From Surrey : " The weather continues very cold for the time of year, the wind keeping to the N. and N.Y..; this will have the effect of prolonging the harvest and help to produce a pro- tracted one, and such I have thought for a long time must be the case from the circumstance of the season commenta ing from the early spring." From Essex, n7iiriOnr hood of Maldon : "Thu weather this week has been finer, but dull, sunless, and cold. The growing crops ripen slowly, and it will yet be ten days to • fortnight before wheat cutting is general." From Devonshire, neighbourhood of Exeter : " Harvest has commenced, and if the weather continue dry it will soon be general. Up to this time, I see nothing to alter my opinion, that wheat, beans, and oats will be good crops. Barley continues to promise the worst," From the Week Hiding of Yorkshire:—" Since Tuesday the weather has been cool and dry, but on the whole favourable to the fill ing of the ears of corn ; but the progress towards ripening is slow, of course, and every day is of importance in that respect. Turnips and potatoes continue to look well ; but there are complaints about the latter being diseased in places when got up." On Saturday the temperature was somewhat higher; wind N.W., with more sun, and where cutting had commenced in the earlier districts, on patches of wheat, oats, and peas, the work would go on favour ably, and we only want a continuance of dryaunnyweather to make a good beginning. THE CA.NTIZBURT WEEK. CANTERBURY, Anoint 6. The cricket season commenced here to-day with beautiful weather In the St. Lawreace Ground, which is about • mile from the city, • portion of which, about eight acres in extent, is enclosed, and entirely surrounded witb can vas erections. The programme this year consists as usual of • series of three matches, which the autbonties calcu late, by beginning early and playing lab, to be enabled to get through daring the week, provided no serious interrup tion is occasioned by the weather. No particular time is allotted to the matches, but they follow each other es quickly as may be. This year all three are first-class matches, and they Include • very large proportion of the leading ama teur and professional talent of the south of England, together with halt a dozen anneal northern players. The weather early this morning was charming in the extreme, • night, clear, cloudless sky, and a pleasant westerly breeze blow. leg. The North having won the toss, sent In es their represents- Lives Grundy and Summers to the respective wickets, which were In splendid condition. The South bowler were Mr. Lips comb at the north wicket. and Bennett at the reverse, and the former with the flint ball of his first over bowled Grundy's middle stump before • run was made. Mr. Wilkinson followed, and made the And runs traim the bat n a two to shot t let, and the second was so short that he ought to have been run out, but escaped. In Mr. Lipscomb's fourth over, Summers was caught by Windier, making the second wicket for five runs. Alfred Shaw came in, and he also bad a narrow escape of running out before he had scored, and after making two ideates he was finely stumped by the South wicket keeper off Bennett-3 for 14. Mr. R. A. Mitcnell took the balance of the over, and drove Bennett for • single to long-on. Mr. Wilkinson made a late cut for four off Mr. Lipscomb, and 10 were posted. Mr. Mitchell evoked by • splendid hit to l e rr Bennett, into the reporters' tent, • general cheer &pare : his form was of the old calibre. He next sent the fast bowler Into the refreshment bar at square leg for three. Thesame over settled Mr. Wilkinson, whose leg stump was canted away by Mr. Itiosoonib. His sixteen included a four and four twos-3 for 114. The Rey. Mr. M'Connicli now became associated with Mr. Mitchell, and the long reach and great power of these two gentlemen were exemplified in a striking manner, runs being put on rapidly, and both fast end slow bowling being pretty equally psh, the slows getting rather the wont of It. Mr. ll'Oormick now Isprung" the handle of his hat, and while he was gone to the . Z. tent to obtain another, Windier, In defiance of law 14. W , the infraction of which we have In common with our engem porarles recently repeatedly called attention, bad • "trial ball" preliminary to taking up the bowling at Bennett's end. With the soon at 44 Mr. Mitchell cut Mr. Lipscomb vary finely for four, and In Willsher's next over he also cut him to the "settling booth" for three. Mr. M•Cormick was, hi Mr. lipecomb's next over, well caught at the wicket, after making nine hy two twos and singles—four for 62. The next Amer, Mr. V. M Walker, made a good beginning by driving Mr. Lipscomb all alone the ground for four which elicited a cheer. An overthrow now added three to the score. Mr. Y. E. Walker played one of Mr. , Llpecomb's through the slips for three, and Mr. Mitchell twice cut him for two. Mr. V. E. Welker made one of his own drives all along the ground for three to loon off. Mr. Lipscomb now had the satisfaction of obtaining the " Leviathan's" wicket with • "shooter," after be had obtained by • brilliant display of bat ting 68, by three fours, five threes, six twos, dec.: he went to the wicket with the score at 14, and out with It at 166. Mr. Mitchell was cheered loudly. Mr. V. K Walker made& good on drive fo three off Mr. Lipscomb. and then was badly missed by Wlllsher. Mr. G r ace, who by • grea t effort snoceeded i Rose made • single,d then wu beautiful n ly caught by reaching • ball with the right hand very low down—nine for 169. Wootton was last in, and after marking • unit, he got Ids leg In Mr. Upscomlis way. Mr. V. K Walker carried out his bat, for a remarkably good innings (barring one chance) of 54, including one five (four for the over throw. fours, two fou. six threes, and two twos. The innings closed at 4.25, , the total being 100. The South bowling in this innings was an under:—Lipscomb, 41 oven, 12 maidens for be runs and Me wickets: Bennett, 16 oven, five maidens, for 24 runs and one wicket ; Willsher, 25 oven, 14 maidens, for 45 runs and four lekets Orifilth, 11 oven, two maidens, for 22 rune The South began their innings at 4.55 with Dr. Grace and Payne. Wootton started the bowling, and his first over was punished to the extent of seven—Mr. Grace making an on-drive for two, • leg hit fielded by Shaw, and Payne • snick for four. Grundy dell vend from the other wicket. Payne was unfortunately placed hors de combat temporarily by • ball of Wootton's catching him full on the cheek, and driving In the molar bone. Humphrey took bis place, and began with a good off-drive forthree, then be got • flukey two In the slips, both off Wootton. Mr. Grace was then leiwled by Wootton after making six—one for 14. itipp Joined Humphrey, who was in his finest hitting form. He got • three and four (off and on drives , off Wootton. In Grundy's next over he cut bum finely for four—fagsplause'--and Mien drove Wootton for three twice. The Notts left-hander retaliated by bowling June's off stump—two for 40. Gaffith was next In, and opened his ac. count with a single, then made two by • "snick," and a three into the booth, all off Wootton. Humphrey got Wootton to square leg for four. At 61 Alfred Shaw relieved Grundy, but Humphrey cut him well for four, and in his next over he made • very fine drive for four to long off. Griffith made an on drive for three, and Humphrey cut Rum finely for three, and his I ist effort was • fine on drive for four off Wootton, and then he was caught by Summers In the slip.

John Moriarty, 22, porter, was indicted for stealing a silver watch, value 71.7 c, the property of Alexander Thwaltes, from his person. Mr. Platt conducted the prosecution ; and Mr. Montagu Williams defended the prisoner. Alexander Thvraites said be lived at 31, Arundel-street, Strand, and was pausing through Endell-stmt from New Oxford-street, about half-put one o'clock on the after noon of the 21st July. Just as he pared the corner of • street on the right-band side, a young man made a sudden dash at his watch-guard and watch. He succeeded in get tin the watch and a portion of the guard, with which he made OF. He pursued him, calling ' Stop thief." Many persons were there, but none of them attempted to stop li"n. He escaped, and he (witness) gave information at the police station. Mr. Henry Herbert said he was a dealer in glass, and carried on boldness at No. 6, Lichfield-street, Bt. Martin's lane. On the 21st July, at the time stated, he was walk ing down Endell-street, and saw the prosecutor on the opposite side of the way, and the prisoner maks • sudden attack upon him, and immediately after he distinctly saw • watch in the prisoner's hand, who crossed the road with it, and ran up Short's-gardens. He (witness) and the pro- secutor pursued him into Drury-lane, where he got away. He saw him the next day at the police-station, and picked him out from amongst 14 other men. Whilst running through Short'agardens he heard soma of the men present say, " Trip the old up," meaning the prosecutor. For the defence an alibi was set up. Robert Willis said be was a printer, employed on the Daily Telegraph newsmen He was with the prisoner on the Sunday morning in question from half-past 11 till five zninues to 1, when he, the prisoner, Fitzgibbon, Ma bony, and another young man, went into Wilson's public house, in Drury-lane, where they had five pots of beer and some cyder, and stopped till five minutes to 2 o'clock, when they all left together. Garrett Fitzgibbon confirmed this evidence ; he lodged with the prisoner, and worked with the first witness. Both witnesses gave their evidence in • very excited manner, Fitzgibbon averring to the truth of what he stated "on los dying oath." A witness named George Mabony was also called,with another young man,who wa said to be with them at time. James Williamson said he resided at 18, Short's-gardens, and saw the prosecutor pursuing a young man, wh o was not the prisoner. He heard the cry of "Stop thief," but did not attempt to stop him. He was a porter, the same as the prisoner, and worked in Covent-garden market up till 9 o'clock in the morning, when he was in the habit of going out and selling flowers. The jury, after some consideration, said they gave the prisoner the benefit of a doubt as to his identity, and Acquitted him. Mr. Serieant Dowling—Bring those witnesses forward. The witnesses were brought forward, and the judge ad dressing Williamson, said he bad no doubt but that he was the man who called out, " Trip the old —up," and as for the others, he believed that, with the prisoner, they all belonged to one gang. Police-sergeant Kerley and Police-constable Hines both gave the prisoner • very bad character, and said he was the constant associate of thieves. On the gaoler asking if he should cUscharge the prisoner, the judge said, " No. Mr. Montagu Williams urged that, u the man had been acquitted, the judge had no power to detain him. The judge said be should, acting on his own discretion, not discharge him until the grand jury were discharged. After considerable discussion on the subject, the pri soner was eventually discharged on the rising of the court. (Before Mr. Peyne.) Henry Johnson, 18, alias Candle; ' w;is indicted for steal ing a watch, value 201. the property of Mr. Stanley Dent, a wine merchant, from his person. In this case the prosecutor, on the night of the 9th of July, was waiting for hie carriage to come up to the door of Her Majesty's Theatre when the prisoner snatched his watch and ran off with it. He did what is called the " double "—he first ran one way and then another—into the arms of • police constable, who asked him what he was running for, and be said he did not know. The pro secutor's watch was picked up and given to the constable, who took the prisoner into custody. The jury foiind the prisoner thrifty. Mr. John Shore, a detective of of Scotland-yard, proved several ounvictions against the prisoner; one being for picking the pocket of Mr. Clay, M.P., while in the lobby of the House of Commons, when he was sen tenced to 18 months' imprisonment with hard labour. The Judge said the court well determined to put a stop to these street outrages. Sentence—seven years' penal servitude. PRESIDENT SALNAVE or HAYTl.—GellOral Turin Secure, the new President of Hayti, is a man of whose former history but little is known. The first that was heard of him in this country was his alleged participation, in July, 1864, in an attempt to assassinate one of President Geffrard's ministers. lie was condemned to death by a court-martial, but escaped to San Domingo. In May, 1865, he placed himself at the head of an insurrectionary movement in the northern part of the republic. On the sth of May be organised a provisional government, and on the next day he took possession of Cape Haytien. The insurrection was unsuccessful. The insurgents, at the be ginning of June, were shut up in Cape Haytien, where Salnave maintained himself until November, when a die culty which he had with the English consul led to the bombardment of Cape Haytien by English vessels. When his position became hopeless, &hums took refuge on board of the American steamer De Soto, which conveyed him to the Dominican port of Monte Christi. After the success of the insurrection in the earlier part of the present year, public opinion seemed to be unanimous in designating Salnave as the ablest man for the presidency. He accord ingly assumed the government as provisional president, and, as our latest despatches from Hayti indicate, hat just been elected president by a unanimous vote.—New York Trthune, July 20. DISPENSARY FOE Sax DISEASES 56, GREAT MARLBOZODGIDIFFREIT, REGENT -STREET, W.—Two hun dred and twenty-one patients were relieved at this dis peassry dozing the work ending August 3. ISLE Ol► WIGHT RAILWAY. The ordinary half-yearly meeting was held yes torday, at the offices of the company, in Great Geor ge . street, Westminster ; Mr. JAMES 8111/.8011 in the ch a i r . The report states that the number of passengers carried during the half-year ending 30 th of June last bad been 139,300 as against 101,023 in the corresponding rlmod of 1866. The receipts for the last half-year from all amuses had been 6,952!. 14s. 3d. as against 4,331!. 6s. ld., aliowm g an increase in the receipts smoe the opening of the lasi four miles, and the completion of the line to Ventnor, of more than 62 per cent. over the corresponding half-year of 1866. As the most important part of the summer traffic if not included in the year to 30th June, it may b e expected that the total receipts of the year willi Mow an increase of 70 per cent, since the completion of the line as estimated is the report to the proprietors of February bus. The working expellees of the past half-year have bees 3,6701. 6s. 241., or 53 per cent. upon the receipts, and, in cluding rent cheeps, government duty, and rates and taxes, 4,1851. 2s. 31, showing a net profit on the half. year's working of 2,7671. 12s. This amount has been for the present necessarily appropriated, as in last half-year, in meeting pressing liabilities on capital account. With respect to the remaining claims on the company on capita account, the directors have made proposals to th e several claimants to take payment in preferenee and debenture stock of the company, and they are happy to to state that some of the creditors heveal p r o e s t/ consented accept payment in the manner pm The directors have agreed to set aside out of the weekly traffic receipts a sum sufficient to meet the payment of in terest on all the debentures as it becomes due, and the directors trust that by this means the credit of the tom. may 's debentures will be placed on a satisfactory MM. The new capital which the company will be authorised to heue pursuant to the eat for additional capital, of the presort session, will when created and issued be more than sufficient to defray the existing liabilities of the compee r on capital account, and, if the arrangements which a re now in progress with the company's creditors be carried into effect, there will remain sufficient for the completion of the proposed increased station accommodation, and to meet any other ordinary contingencies on capital account which may arise. On the motion for affixing the seal to the register of shares, an abjection was Wm by Mr. Webster in rega r d to the shares held by the Warrant Finance Company and the City Bank ; in reply to which Mr. Beattie, director, stated that those companies were not now on the register, and could not vote ; but it was explained that the shares held would appear in the names of the directors of those eompanies, and being preference shares Mr. Webster held could not give voting power. Mr. Webster then objected to the register being signed, and submitted a resolution to that effect, and for appointing a committee to examine it ; but which, acting upon the advice of the solicitor of the company, the chairman declined to put, on the ground that the register of shareholders was an official document, and was the evidence of its owi! acaoicy- . - A long discussion ensued, Mr. Webster urging the im portanoe of the question on the ground that 751. only having been paid on the shares held by the Warrant Finance Company, it became a question who was to be liable for the remaining 25/. To this it was answered that all the shares stood in the book as fully paid up, and had been issued as such to the contractor, who had parted with them to the Warrant Finance Company or the City Bank at what price he pleased. Certain shares which bad been objected to as fictitious did not appear on the register at all. In the end Mr. Wehater's amendment, which in. eluded the appointment of a committee to examine the register, was not put, and it was resolved that the seal should be affixed to the register. The motion for adopting the report was then proposed by the CHAIRMAN, and seconded by Mr. lixsTrix. Mr. BEZSTON contended that it was preposterous for CH, taro of the directors to demand and accept 2,0001. in pre. ferenoe shame for liabilities Incurred by them with the Cit t U f a i nk, seeing that the ordinary shareholders received DO . Mr. (ATM explained that the directors in question had paid out of their own pockets 28,280 f. for preference and ordinary stock at par, en order to redeem certain secs titles in the hands of the City Bank, and so keep the con. parry out of Chancery, and the payment referred to was to reimburse them is some measure for the responsibility and loss so incurred. Mr. DANCE, who went into a complicated statement of figures to show that instead of the liabilities being 111,8621. 2a. 2d., the total liabilities on capital amounted to 332,0001., moved an amendment, that the accounts be referred back to the directors, with instructions to prepare an account in accordance with the Railway Companies Act. Mr. BRAVO, a director, stated that the total capital as. thawed by the original act was 252,0001. The additional sot gave powers to raise 50.000/. more, with about 14,000/. borrowing powers, which would be ample to pay all are diton, leaving a surplus for other works necessary. The entire capital was therefore somewhere about 316,0001. or 318,000/. The amendment, not being seconded, fell to the ground, and the motion adopting the report was carried. The meeting was then made special, and resolutions were taken authorising the director's to raise the addi tional capital under the act of 1867, wholly or partly by ordinary or preference shares, as the shareholders might determine. _ . . On a resolution relieving the director, who had paid the 28,280/. from all further liability, and awarding them 2,0001. in preference shares, it was stated by Mr. BENITUS In answer to an objection from Kr. Beeston, that the director, who had paid the money would have to take their chance with the preference and ordinary stock they had taken for it—the 2,0001. being paid to compensate them for any low—the relief being ae to further liability on account of notes of hand given to the bank on behalf of the company, amounting in all to 55000/. The usual vote of thanks concluded the business. MARKETS.
