LANDLORD AND TIINANT (IRILAND.)-Mr. MAotnsis to ask the Attorsey-General for Ireland, on Thursday neat, whether it in his intention to introduce &bill to improve the law of landlord and tenant in Ireland THE LONDON GAS BILLL—Mr. CRAWFORD to move. on Monday next, that all the bills relating to the supply of gee in the metropolis be referred to the select committee already appointed to consider the measure of the Cor poration. Tax Uwe liensliorror Coon.—Mr. ?ERRAND to ask the Attorney-Gleneral, on Thursday next, whether he has seen any grenade for changing his opinion expremed in this house on the 27th of June last that Mr. Patrick Robert Welch should be suspended from the discharge of his duties as Registrar in the Leeds Bankruptcy Omit pending his criminal prosecution for corrupt bathes in obtaining, or attempting to obtain, • j • appriatment? If so, whether he will be go obligieg as to state them to the house. Also. whether Liter the evidence taken before the select oommittee in the Leech Bankruptcy Court be is of opinion that Mr. John Miller is • ill and proper person to discharge the very responsible duties of Chief Registrar oi the Court of Bankruptcy ? THE THAMES. Mr. BATHURST asked the President of the Board of Trade whether be intended to introduce a bill on the sub ject of the Thames navigation, as recommended by the select committee. Whether he was aware that the Thames and Severn Railway Bill sought power to convey the water pumped from the Tbte head sprinp by a culvert into the water-shad of the Severn ; and whether it should be left entirely to local proprietors to resist such proposals? Mr. X. GIBSON said it was the intention of the govern ment to bring in a bill on the subject of the navigation of the Thames. The other question was a matter that might be very well disposed of by • select committee, and ►he Board of Trade, therefore, would not 'stations. IRISH FISHERIES. Mr. BLAKE asked the Attorney-General for Ireland, whether be intended movies for leave to introduce a bill to give effect to the recommendation of the special oommis simian for Irish fisheries, sa contained in their report for 1865 Mr. LAWSON hoped to be able to do so. THE CATTLE PLAQUE BILL. Mr. HUNT wished to pet a question to the Home See retary respecting a measure shish had gone up to the other house, the Cattle Plague Bill. (Laughter.) Hots. gentle men might think the subject an amusing one ; but it ap t* him to be very serious. He undentood that the ap peared was likely to be returned to-night with certain amend ments, and inasmuch as the courts of quarter-session were waiting to see the act before making new order., it would be very desirable that the bill should be disposed of at onto. He wished to know, therefore, whether the right hon. baronet would undertake that the Lords' amendments should be considered to-morrow Sir G. GREY understood that the bill had been referred to a select committee of their lordships, and that notices of many amendments had been given. It would be quite im possible, therefore, to may in what state the bill would come dowo, and it was due both to the house and to the country that they should have en opportunity of consider ing the mowers In its altered form. (Hear, hear.) In answer to Mr. CHAMBERS, Mr. T. G. BARING said that the chairman of the Metropolitan Board of Works bad brought to his notice the refund of the magistrates in the coun ties surrounding London to allow manure to be re moved from the metropolis ; and had represented that great inconvenience to the public health might arise If that prohibition were long maintained. The Home eke bad communicated with the magistrates of one of the counties concerned, with a view if possible to induce them to make arrangements under which manure might be sent into the country without fear of spreading the cattle disease. When the Cattle Plague Bill came beck, the horse would have an opportunity of introducing into it such pro visions on the subject as it might think At. (Hear.) Mr. O'REILLY asked the Secretary of State for War whether the horns, of cavalry regiments lately sent to Ire land had not accompanied them ; and if so. whether that was not In violation of the orders in council for the preven tion of the introduction of the cattle plague into the latter country. The Bangui' of HARTINOTON said the regiments bad taken their horses with them, bat that had been no viola tion of any order in council, for those orders referred to cattle and not to horses. THE EASTER RECESS. In answer to Colonel W. PATTEN. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER raid the go vernment would propose the adjournment of the house on Friday, the 23rd inst. ; and, in aeoordanes with what was now the usual practice, it would re-assemble on the Monday fortnight following. PARLIAMENTARY OATHS BILL. Sir G. GREY having moved the second reading, Mr. NEWDEGATE presented onsiderably more than a huadred petition. from churchmen and protestant dia sante?' ■gaicst the bill. Mr. DISRAELI, while admitting that there was in the oath now taken at the table something obsolete sod in vidious towards the Roman catholic members of the house, still could not give his assent to the bald form which the government proposed to substitute for the existing oath. He was favourable to the principle of • uniform oath of allegiance, but he wished to see it accompanied by the materials and fundamental characteristics which, in his opinion, theh an obligation ought to posses,. The oath ought, he thought, to bind the person taking it not only in personal allegiance to her Majesty, bat also to her heirs and successor*, as limited by the Act of Settlement. It ought also to et:knowledge the supre macy of the crown in all the courts of law in the country. He would not oppose the second reading of the bill, as he pas in favour of • uniform oatb, but he would place on the table, for the consideration of the committee, a form which he believed would meet the objections he had raised, and which he was persuaded no Roman catholic member of the hones would hesitate to take. Mr. BRIGHT asked to be permitted to mike a remark in regard to the words of the oath. The words were that there should be a uniform oath. There was a small number of gentlemen in the house who were required to affirm, sod io the affirmation be and some others made the word " defeod" was not inserted. He wished to know whether that word in the oath implied that they wen expected actually to take up arms. (Laughter.) He did not want to enter into the general question, but he hoped that boo, members in the position in which be was placed would be left in that position, and would continue to be admitted on the same footing as before. He merely mentioned the point to draw the attention of the goveromentto it in order that the requisite alteration might be made in the form of affirmation. _ Sir G. ORE? had listened to a ooesiastable portion of Mr. Disraeli's speech with much satisfaction, because it showed the great advance that had been made amongst the opposition since the debate which took place on this subject last year. He dissented from the tight hon. gen tleman, however, when he said that the existing oath contained no real or practical grievance, and reminded him that the words of the proposed oath were identically the same as those which were now subscribed to by every member of the house. The protestant succession, moreover, did not rest on the retention of the words in the oath. It depended upon the hot of Settlement, by virtue of which any sovereign who ceased to be • protestant was thereby deprived of the crown. Consequently the words suggested by the right hon. gentleman were altogether unnecessary ; but if be would lay upon the table the form of oath which be pro- posed to suggest in committee, the government would cow eider it in a fair sad outdid spirit, with an earnest desire to accomplish the object they all had in view—namely, the establishment of a uniform oath which would admit of members coming to the table without ranging themselves in different parties according to their religious opinions, and feeling that they could deal with the various subjects that came before them in their legislative capacity free and unfettered by sectarian influence'. air H. CAIRNS said he rejoiced that • uniform oath was about to be established. That was is fact the proposition for which he hid contended last year, sad it was entirely wrong to say that he or those around him had °bagged their minds since the subject was last before the house. Yr. NEWDEQATE said that the effect of the bill, if it became law, would be to destroy the distinctively pro testant character of parliament, while at the saw time the sovereign would continue bound to uphold the principles of the Reformation. He objected to the whole principle of this bill. (" Hear, hear," from Mr. Roebuck.) He bad h a d the misfortune to differ from the hon. and learned member for Sheffield in days past, when the hon. and learned gen tleman supported other extreme measures. (Hear, bear.) Hitherto every member who was returned to that house had to declare the religion to which he belonged, and if he t Fr') Tr T THE FR IDAY EVENING, MAROS 9, did erne in oldli) not twice t • deceive ins tit te be thet declaration wou ld this bill be dupweel with. Further, the House of Lords would ones 60 have any von; to prevent a Jew being made a member of t h eir hose--• Jewish put with right el eneoestion ; therefore this bill would make a germ change in the law as it affected the House of Londe than as it regarded the Huse of Controona. It wee to prevent this great change that so many petitions bad been prenatal to that hone. He begged to move that the bill be read a sound time that day BIZ menthe. (Hear, bear.) Kr. WHALLEY rase to speak, but wee met with load cries of "Divide." He said hue not his intention to take any part in the discussion in so far as it involved the oath of 1829, because he considered that that was a question beyond the jurisdiction of the house, and which they could not take cognizance of. It wee now a pert, as the Act of Settlement was, of the fundamental constitution of the country. (Cries of "Divide" and "Oh, ob.") The pruent ' moment was peculiarly inauspicious for such concessions as they were now called upon to make. He believed it could be shown that Feninum wee the offspring of Eomsa catholicism. (Question.) He submitted that that was the question. (Cries of " Sing.") The SPEAKER—I hear some env:mins that are not pulianantary Mr. WRA FIEF rammed—He thanked the Speaker for calling attention to that. He would remind the home that the first occasion on which that unparliamentary expres sion wee need it was raised in a manner which rendered it impossible for him to make himself heard. The first occasion on which that invocation—(laughter)—was made was in 1862. He had then denoncoed the spirit of Fenianiint which wee taking root, se shown by the proceedings in Dublin, emanating from indents from Maynooth, on the occasion of the marriage of the Prince of Wales. That spirit we. faltered by Archbishop Hughes, and had since been developing Jima, and wan still fostered an an essential part of their duty by the R 0131612 catholic priesthood of Ireland. (Interruption.) It was manifested in 1798 and in 1642, according to the regular prescribed programme of rebellion and conspiracy. He thought they ought to bari tes,' before they unsettled the foundation of the act of 1829. If the bill paned a second reading he should move that it be referred to a select committee. Mr. T. CHAMBERS, who spoke amid loud cries of " divide." said he agreed with everything that bad fallen from the right boo. gentleman opposite with reference to this subject. He also concurred in many of the &nervations of the ken. member for North Warwickshire ; and if this were a bill merely for altering the Roman oatbolic oath. he would go into the same lobby with that boo. member. But that was sot the question. The question was, whether it was desirable to have one uniform oath to be taken by all the members of the howls. He thought it was desirable if a satisfactory form of oath could be framed that they should all Dome under one obligation to the throne and the maled iction, and he should therefore give his vote in favour of the seoood reeding of this bill. The house then divided— For the second reading Against it -293 (Laughter.) Mr. WHALLEY hal given urges of a motion to refer the bill to a select committee, but after what had just taken plane, he need not trouble the hones to divide nein. Tne bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Thursday next. *partial intelligence. LIVWOOL .9?R1170.

COURT OF BANKRUPTOY.—MAzou 8. (Wore Mr. Oommisioser Haisoyd.) Ell ZS MULLES WINDOM In this cue, after our report left yesterday, His Honour said that the opposition rested on two grounds—unjustifiable extravagance is living, and con tracting debts without ?smash e or probable ezpootetion of being able to pay them. In considering the latter point it was necessary to bear in mind wbst was meant by reasonable or probable expectation. It did not mean that a man who had expectations of property coming to him at any distant period would be just - Wed in incurring debts upon that expectance. It must mean that he had an expectation of being able to pay them within the time in which such debts would ordi narily be discharged—or, at all events, not moth exceeding the ordinary paned. He had no right to ask the creditors to wait for the realisation of his property at a distant period. Such an answer would be still more objectionable on the part of a man who hid absolutely denuded himself of control over the whole of his property, by making an assignment for the benefit of creditors, and went on con trasting fresh debts before be knew what his would realise. Haying only 5001. a year wigertze ...id reckon upon, the bankrupt bad spent 2,0001. • year- and the court could not hold that sash an expenditure was justifiable. Having regard to the thee which the eau had been before the court, and the other circumstances' which had been urged in the bankrupt's favour, the court could coat to no other conclusion th an that the bankrupt had brought himself within the 159th section of the act, and the or de r must be suspended for six months from the present time, with protection. (Before Hr. Commissioner Gonlbare). The bankrupt was a air7to;;;l : 3t. Swithin'alane. This woe the sitting for examination and diechergy but the ae °manta had not been filed. The lialnlitiee are mid to to 27,0001. lir. Berwick tendered a proof for 8001. on behalf of Sir Charles Fox, but it. ooneklaration was adjourned till the next sitting. THE OMR OF MR. FERGUSON. Mr. H. SHERIDAN ogled attention to a recent case in which a geothiman, returning et night from a professional eat, was violently attacked by a policeman in die guise a public highway, and moved for copies of the entry on the charge-sheet of the polies district under which Hr. Fergwon was looked up Ina police cell on the night be was smutted, and for other documents connected with the ease. Sir G. GREY deprecated the diametrical of • ow which et that moment WM under judicial Investigation, and de fended the conduct of Mr. Vida, the magistrate, who had committed Mr. Ferguson upon what was supposed to be the dying declaration of the pelieemaa. He denied, how ever, that Mr. Sheridan bad men a correct version of the affair, as he was informed that the detective had pro deigned himself to be • policeman, end had exhibited his staff as the emblem of his authority. He had no objection to give • ropy of the ohmage sheet, and also of the intim !ions to detectives, but not the other returns moved for. SUPPLY. The house then went into committee of supply, and re sumed the consideration of the army estimates. The following votes were agreed to:-1,134,0001. for commissariat establishment services and movement of troops, 603,3001.•f0r barrack establishments, 41,100/. for divine services, 22,0001. for martial law, 246,5001, for hos pital establishments, 842,6001. for disembodied militia, 85,2001. for yeomanry cavalry, 348,1001. for volunteers, end 45.0001. for °owned pensioners. Various subjoins counseled with those votes were dismissed, and a souse tiou was thrown out by Sir C. Russell that the labour of soldiers in military prisons should be utilised as in France, where the system had been found to a:induce to the moral and physical advantage of the prisosera. The Marquis of thirdngton admitted that the suggestion was worthy of caudderatios. The vote for commissariat minima elicited a general opinion that the uniforms and necessaries maaufactured by government were far superior to those formerly supplied by connectors. In the course of the discussion Lord Elaho stated, on the authority of the volunteer railway staff, that with their present facilities they could undertake within 30 hours to oonceutrate at any point within a certain distance of the metropolis a force of 150,000 infantry, 60,000 cavalry, up wards of 100 guns, sad 80,000 navvies to throw up en trenchments. The vote of 955,3004 for manufacturing eatablishments was also agreed to. The house having gone Into committee on the Marine Mutiny RIM Mr. TAYLOR moved the omfuion of the clause relating to flogging. The motion was resisted by Lord C. PAGET, who stated that the morale of the navy was rapidly imoroviag, and that the number of cues of corporal panishment wee year by year diminishing. Upon a division the °lame was comenned by 71 to 22. A division was also taken upon the " branding clause," which resulted in the clause being agreed to by 52 to 21. The bill was than passed through mananittaa. The other bunnies on the paper was also disposed of,and the house adjourned at ten minute' pest 1 o'clock.

AUGMENTATION OF ENDOWMENTS. —At the monthly meeting of the council of the National Association for Freedom of Vv alibi°, held at the central offirms, Ridgefield, yesterday, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted:—" That the endowment of a church chiefly eon cents those interested in possession and reversion in the advowson or income of the living. That the National Church Fund, administered by the Ecclesiastical Commis sioners, is held by them upon trust to secure by its appli. cation direct benefit to the parishioners at large ; that is, to the operative and other poorer &asses conetitutiog (espe cially in large towns) nine-tenths of the population. That the attention of the commissioners and of the members of both houses of parliement be respectfully called to the omission hitherto in greeting money for endowments, to secure the concomitant provision for the perishiosers' benefit expressly designed by the Manchester Rectory Di vision Act, and impliedly required by the several statutes under which the commissioners exercise their present power.." RAILWAY AND OTHER BILLS IN PAELLANRNT. Yesterday there were two groups of railway bills before the Hostas of Commons oocomittees. In group 2it was arranged that the consideration of the Maidstone and Ash ford Railway Bill ebould stand over for the present. Mr. Calvert, Q.O. (with whom was Mr. Cripps), opened the pro moters' case of the Hadlow Railway, after which evidence was taken until the rising of the committee. Mr. Bodwell, Q.C., and Mr. Salisbury. represented the opponents to the bill. Io group 4 there was ea opposition to the Mid-Hants Railway Bill, which 000sequently passed. The next bill in this group was that of the Bridgwater and Taunter' Camel and Bristol and Exeter Railway, but owing to the absent, of some of the parties the consideration of it was adjourned until Thursday next. The examiners of standing order proofs did not sit yeeterday. The following estimate founded upon the last Uni.ed States meson has been made of the probable amount which it costa the individual members of the different churches in this country to sustain them :—A baptist or methodist, S dole. 40e.; a presbyteries, 7 dole.; a congre gationalist, 10 dole.; a Roman catholic, 14 dole.; an enlace- Pallas, 18 dole.; a reformed Dutch, 22 dole.; a unitarian, 23 dole,—elmerican paper.

LBONARDie ARBITRATION BILL AND THE LONDON TRADER—An adjourned delegate meeting of the Loudon trades, to consider the provisions of the above bill, was held last night at the Bell Inn, Old Bailey ; Mr. Dauber, engineer, in the chair. The merstary reported that the deputation appointed at the last misting to obtain an interview with Lord St. Lsonards, had been enable to effect their object, owing to the ilium of the noble lord. A long discussion then took plat* upon the bill sad its yerious clauses, and ultimately a resolution warn adopted approving of the bill in its principle, but reserving the right to object to some of its provisions as unworkable, and also expressing the opinion that it would be desirable that the new law relating to contracts between masters and workmen, now under the consideration of a select committee of the House of Commons, should be embodied in the bilL Tai BUILDING OPERATIVES' STRIKE AT WOOL WICIL—Laat night at 8 o'clock a crowded public meeting of operatives belonging to various branches of the building trade at Woolwich, Charlton, and Plumstead, who have left work in consequence of the refusal of the masters to yield the request for a half-holiday on Saturdays, was held at the Lord Rag lan Hall, Woolwich, to receive a In put from the committee as to the progress of the move ment. The chair was occupied by Mr. Johnson ; and it was stated that the large majority of the masters were still determined not to ac ced e to the terms of the memorial for warded by the workmen for the cessation of work at 1 &cloak on Saturdays, although in some CANS the masters had yielded the point. Mr. Davis, secretary of the conned of London painters, end others, then addressed the meeting, and resolutions were adopted pledging the workmen pre seat to adhere to the terms of the memorial, and to con tinue the strike until theme were gusted by the master builders' committee. The number of man who have left their employment is upwards of 600, and several important works are in consequence suspended. OUTBREAK OF RINDREPENT IN SHEEP IN SCOT LAND.—Very soon after the outbreak of the cattle plague, or rinderpeet, a disease which was commonly supposed to baking peculiarly to the bowies rice, it was found that sheep also were suooptible to the malady. The &cit.:nesters of Norfolk were the first to detect in sheep symptoms that they supposed to be analogous to those in cattle labour ing under rinderpest ; and Professor Simonds, after having examined the animals, confirmed the views of their owners. The judgment of the professor was, how ever, disputed by praotical men ; and the experiment of the hissers. Swan and Sons, who sent down ten sheep to the Sanitarium in Edinburgh, to be planed in close con tact with sows I. the worst stage of the disease for a period of 21 days (the sheep coming out monthlies), ap peared to satisfy the public that the " woolly people" were not liable to the disease. The further test of placing the sheep which had been brought out of a pestilential house beside healthy cattle, without then conveying the infection to the beasts, seemed also to prove that they could not carry I contagion. But within the last day or two rumours have been abroad to the effect that rinderpest bas actually seised upon flocks in Scotland, and the evideue of scientific men in Edinburgh bears out the opinions which Professor Simonds first enunciated. Professor Strsngeways has examined one flock in Fife, composed of twenty-seven ewes. Before the professor was sent for, six had died. He found eleven ill, and, from a post-mortem examination he made, be has no hesitation in coming to the conclusion that the animals were affected with Underpaid. In another flock of about 130, also in Fife, where several deaths bad occurred, he discovered signs of " the plague ;" and, from portions of sheep sent into the Veterinary Col- lege for analysis, from the neighbourhood of Kirkcaldy, the same appearances were observed. A south country farmer, who has at present from 1,000 to 1,200 sheep feed- tug in Forfarshire, was recently apprised of various and mysterious deaths taking place in his flock. He at once ordered two heeds to be sent to Professor Dick, who thought they exhibited signs of " tattle plague ;" but he declined to give his opinion until be had ' seen the entrails, which, on being sent, showed all ' the marked characteristics of the plague. These sheep are, we understand, dying at the rate of nine or ten a day. Men who have been long accustomed to the management of sheep, and who have watched them daily, do not hold the views of the veterinarians. They cling to the opinion that the symptoms described may arise from the nature of the food and the manner of feeding ; and they hold that the number of deaths recorded is not in excess of that which has occurred on many previous occasions. We understand that it is the intention of severs! gentlemen having long practical acquaintance with sheep to visit For terabit.° to-morrow, in order that they may ascertain, from personal inspection, whether the mortality is oeoesioaed by rinderpest or not.—Scotsman. Tat CHOLERA CONFEELICE AT CONETANTLYOFLE. —The second meeting of this conference wee held on Thurs day last, when considerable discussion took place on the proposal of the French delegates to suspend communication by sea between Egypt and the shores of the Ileelje: in the event of another epidemic outbreak during the sittings of the conference. The Porte, it now appears, is not disposed to accede to this suggestion, and by several of the other delegates it has also been regarded as an nodue anticipa i Coo by one of the governments represented of the general I judgment of the conference, and is opposed accordingly. I On Monday the conference Alain met, wnen the report of the committee named to consider the proposal in its details was received and somewhat warmly discussed. No result, however, was arrived at, and the debate, as it may be called, was adjourned till yesterday, when both advocates and opponents of the suggestion made some good speaking in favour of and against its adoption. The sitting, however, broke op without say result, to be resumed to-morrow, when it is to be hoped a decision will be come to, sod the proper business of the conference be proceeded with with further loss of tins.—Levant Herald, Feb. 28. SUICIDE OF AN ANTROLOGIA.—On Thursday evening, Ahmed Effendi, wood astrologer to the palace, committed suicide at his house at Swath -hani, neer the Sheikh-wade mosque, by cutting his throat and disembowel ling himself. The Mende Haoadis takes credit to itself for having driven the unfortunate seer to this "happy delivery " by some stinging articles which recently appeared in It. columns exposing the folly of his pretended art.

George Callaghan, aged 40, tailor, and George Clarke, aged 23, collier, were arraigned for assaulting, on the 16th October, 1865, lemuel Walker Oox, putting him in bodily tear end danger of his life, sad violently stealing from in Ids person 30/. 3e. money, a silver watch, a penknife, sad other article*, his property, at Oladdeaden. Mr. Fitzjames Stephen and Mr. Bradshaw prosecuted ; the primers were net defended. Mr. Stephen opened the ame, saying that this was a garotte robbery attended with considerable violence, and Mr. Oox, the prosecutor, was the brother of the late mayor and the present member for this borough. The learned mussel then detailed the facts of the ease, and called the prosecutor, Samuel Walker Cox, who said—l live at Spoadon, and my place of business is is Derby. On Monday, the 16th October, 1865, I received 501. from my dark—two Bank of England notes, two of the Derby and Derbyshire Bank, and 101. in gold. I left Derby about ten minutes to eight o'clock. I had • small umbrella with me, and when I got to the toll-bar I heard footsteps behind ma. I hurried tato the toll-bar, and I heard footstep whilst I wen in the toll-bar, pawing on the other side. I came out in about five minutes, and walked on until I came to the comer of the plantation beyond Chaddeaden. The foot road for about thirty yards is higher than the road. I heard footsteps behind me, and on looking round saw two men coming along the centre of the road, one behind the other, and I looked straight at them, the first man was light, smooth (need, the second man had more hair round his face, and a peculiar look about the eyes. I can Berm positively to the prisoners being the men. I have no doubt whatever about them. Clarke palmed me closely, and I suspected some mischief, and 1 looked steadily at Callaghan who pushed against me, end he had only got just level with me when I wee caught round the neck by his right arm ; I could only call out twice • Callaghan then flung me round, and the other man tried to strike me t but I kept him off for a short time, but he punched me in the belly I struggled for about four or five minutes, when I became insensible. The next thing I can recollect was being kicked on the boot by another party. I found that I had been robbed, and mimed 301. out of one pocket, several shillinp, three keys, a silver watch, a penknife, and four pimps of paper oat of my breast pocket. I next saw the men on that day fortnight. I was desired to go to Mr. Whit ton's o ffi ce to identify them, and I was shown eight or ten min, and I pisked the prisoners out. I knew them atm but hesitated for an iastaat as to Clarke, because he had had part of his whiskers out off. I proclaim three notes-- two De-by and Derbyshire Beak notes, sad one Beak of England. I received them from Mr. Chester. They ere similar to those lost. Hound that I was • good deal hurt next day, and felt pain for some weeks. After a long trial both prisoners were found Guilty. Callaghan was sentenced to 15, and Clarke to 12 years' penal servitude. OXFORD ClROUlT.—Woaczorms, MAzcs & (Before sir B. Smith.) RIM= V. (MAT WIWI= RAILWAY COI PAST.-141LWAY ACCIDENT COMPENSATION. This was an action broughtby Mr. Rarell, s farmer of Redmarley and Panntley, Gloucestershire, against the Great Western Railway Company, to recover damages for iojuries sustained by him while travelling in a train of the Midland Company on the defendants' line, between Wor cester and Tewkesbury. Mr. Powell, Q. 0., Mr. Matthews, and Mr. Dowdeswell, were counsel for the plaintiff ; and Mr. James for the rail way company. On the 4th of November, 1864, the plaintiff took a ticket at Tewkesbury for Birmingham and returned the same evening. The Midland tram passes over a portion of the Great Western lice between Worcester and Norton, and as the train approached the junction at the latter place it came in collision with a Great Western goods train, which was being shunted there. The engine of the Midla nd train was shattered, and the train came to a dead stop, but was not thrown off the mils. The passengers, however, were mach brained sad shaken. . . . . The plaintiff, who appeared very weak and ill, stated that be was travelling in a second-class carriage at the time, but remembered nothing of the accident. He went on by a subsequent train to Tewkesbury, but how he got from Tewkesbury to hie home, nine miles, he (maid not remem ber. He had been ill ever since. He could not sleep well, and had bad dreams. He had lost the sight of coo eye, and the hearing of one ear was partly gone. He could not tore his head without pain, nor walk without a stick. His right leg, side, and hand were cold; his memory was im paired, and he ad been unable to do any business since the accident. the • ^ Whil e e witness was being examined the jury appealed to the court to spare them the pain of a prolonged exa mination, and accordingly the witness wee led out at court. Mrs. Rummell gave corroborative evaence, and other wit nesses having been examined to show what was'ihe plain tiff's income at the time of the accident, the medical evidence was given. Mr. Yorke, who attended him from the commencement, considered the spine was affected, that there bad been a severe shock to the nervous systsm, and that he was suf fering from partial paralysis. He did not think he would ever perfectly recover. Mr. H. D. Carden, surgeon, gave similar evidence. He looked upon hia recovery now as mere hopeless than at first. air Charles Hosting', IL D. and D.C.L., had practised's a physician for half a century at Worcester, corroborated Mr. Carden's evidence. He observed in the patient double vision which indicated severe injury at the bans of the brain. Looking at the time that had elapsed without any improvement in his case be oonld see no probability of his permanent improvement. Them physicians' bills together were 240 guineas. Professor Ericsson gave similar testimony, Mr. James made a powerful address for the company, aed the jury were locked up when the last train left.

Mr. Lewis, see., of Ely-place, who conducted the prose cation, Mid that from • number of cases he should only select stew for prosecution. In four mese it would be shown that the prisoner had charged to members of the government sum* varying from 21s. to 28a. 6d. for 'Damages for which the proper charge wee 3a. each. In these caeca the prisoner was charged with obtaining by false returnees the aims in excess of the proper charge. There were also two charges of embszelemeM. Os the lith and 14th of Dezember led Mr. Harslet, the librarian sad keeper of the papers at the Foreign-office, bad sent telegraphic messages to Yr. Hamilton, the British consul it Boulogne, on private business in so way con nected with the office. Mr. Harslet of coons peal the charges for these messages (2a. 6d. each) at the lime. The prisoner, however, had pocketed the mosey, sad marked the messages as to be debited to the Foreign-Aka Is the ordinary routine of the oilloe the amounts were examined and the fraud was discovered. . . . . Evidence in proof of these feat was tendered, and after carefully examinieg the aceounts, Sir Thomas Henry observed that it was evident the ac counts in the Foreign-offloe were very closely looked after. No doubt it would now be s matter for consideration in other branches whether they should not adept a system which bad bees found effective in that one department. The prisoner was committed for trial on both charges. THE HOMELESS POOR ACT.--00NPERJFECE OP METROPOLITAN GUARDIANS. Yesterday s large meeting of the Metropolitan Beards of Guardians and others was held at St. James's Hall, to mender the provisions of the Homeless Poor Act. Amongst those present were Mr. J. Stuart Mill, M.P., Oaptain Grosvenor, M.P., Colonel Hogg, M.P., Sir James Hamilton, de Dr. BREWER, Churchwarden of St. George's, Hanover spars, oseupied the chair, and in a speech of 40 minutes' duration brought the subject before the meeting. They, he said, as guardians, did not profiled to be either law makers or law menders, they were simply administrators of the laws, sadeollectors d the rates for the relief of the destitute. Set that befog the case, there arose the question —care :g e rerely to administer wider cue act, or were they to the nature of their duty and the extent of their power from all the statutes which had from time to time emanated from parliament or the Poor-law Commissimers? And it also was of great oonsequeucs to consider how far the Hounslow; Poor Aot abrogates other acts pissed:r e :to , Poor-law Commissioners, with respeot to impostors. pewiligetes, pickposkets. and small rallerses, commonly called sneaks," but who by some alight cheap of terms had been called mewls. He believed they had to act according to the combined mewing of all the acts on the subject, and not merely on the Homeless Poor Act, for it wee wall known that one act did not expunge the provisions of another previously mined, unless there was a special clause stating ' all previous legislation on this subject notwith standing to the contrary.' There was nothing of that sort in the Homeless Poor Act, sad therefore it would have to be taken with others. He believed that vagrancy was one of the most fruitful causes of crime, and hitherto govern ment bad so viewed it, and had held Ain cheek. He would quote to them the words of the late commissioner, Mr. Charles Boller, who laid down the four following pro positions :—" L That the system of late years advocated in the relief of the osanal poor has been the principal cause of ✓oy. 2ndiy. That • regular provision of food and lodging for everyone who choices to demand them at any place tempts those to vagrancy who would not otherwise have adopted that inclination. Srdly. That • disorindm. than and a steady refusal to aid them not ascertained to be destitute are the remedies. And 4thly. Thai to repel an impostor Is as much the duty of the administrators of relief as to relieve the destitute.' The speaker pomaded to quote largely from the various expressions of opinion on the pert of the Poor-law Board, and endeavoured to show therefrom that it had always up to the present time enforced upon guardians the necessity of withholding relief from those not ascertained to be de serving poor. The class at present relieved under the Homeless Poor Act wen, he said, mostly thieves, ninety five out of every hundred net being casuals in any sense of the word. Ha concluded by advocating the estthlislinalet of casual wards at police stations, which he said would have the effect of giving the police their own. Major Lrox, of St. Worm's, Hanover-square, referred to the proem:ll2p at a meeting on the 'abject of the sick poor, held on Saturday. He was surprised that • pose of the realm had been found to countenance the proceedings. He believed that the malty poor were grossly injured by the Homeless Poor Act, ad be referred to statistim showing that whore casuals were sent to lodgings (from his parish) after the ordinary ward/ were full, they scarcely ever returned for their breakfasts in the morning except on Sundays, when there was no work to do. So that they might have something before them he would move:— " That in the opinion of this meeting no legislative measure for the management of the Homeless poor will be satisfactory or efficient which does not contain two conditions—viz., classification and strict and careful supervision." Dr. Br or.s.e seconded the motion. Mr. TALVINZIL thought they might either ask government to withdraw and annul the Homeless Poor Act, or at least to modify it. Mr. BLarcwroan, of Fulham, did not think it possible to classify emu& He referred to the statements that had been made about the disgraceful condition of the Clerken well wart* and begged of anybody present to refute those statements if untrue. Mr. Boa; of Lambeth, having declaimed against sessa tonal writers on the subject, Colonel Haw, M.P., supported the chairman, and said it was a great pity Mr. Farnal/ had not accepted the Invi tation to be present at that meeting.y He thought that the Homeless Poor Act, instead of dicrcaairy, bad increased pauperism. Captain Gitoesvmeolt, M.P., said he was there because be sympathised with the poor, and also to show his sym pathy with those who devoted their time despite the ob loquy thrown upon them in attending to the interests of the poor. He entirely concurred with the wisdom of the meet ing, and would support a repeal or alteration of the Home less Poor Act. Mr. Bonthron, of St. James's ; Mr. Englefield, of St. George, Hanover-square; Mr. Madding, of W hiteohapel, sad others, baring spoken in terms strongly condemnatory of the Hounder Poor Act, Major Lyon withdrew his original motion, and moved Instead, mat in the opinion of this meeting the Emmeline Poor Act does not act practical) well, and that it would be &nimble to have the act repeale d, and a more comprehensive legislation introdnoed during the present session of parliament by the Poor-law Board. Mr. BLATCHPOID seconded the resolution, which was carried. A document which had been privately circulated con taining statements by Mr. Farnall of a damaging character against the guardian', was referred to in very severe terms by several speakers.

WOOL AND WOBEITED..--BRADIORD, Masai B.—Tbe Bristol wool fair opened yesterday, and it is reported there wee a COOsiderable attendance of buyers, very little wool shown, and better prices demanded. In this marhet there is • steady business doing in wool. The weight of wool changinghands is notlarge. Them is somethingdoingiaionall lots and picked sorts, such as lustre, and in South Downs, and in Herefordshire and Shropshire matchings. For such sorts as are in demand prices have a hardening tendency, and tbeprices of other sorts are very firm. There is • better feel ing in the worsted yarn branch. The advices from abroad are decidedly more favourable for yarns for that quarter. The foreign haulm have, however, now covered their require ments for super 30's, and other sorts usually required for the continental markets, and are not disposed at present to give fresh orders. Prices Sr. general, firm, though, not withstanding the stooks of mime of the larger spinners. who are firmer in their demands, have recently been moved off, them are still docks in the hands of smaller spinners, who, ft is said, would not be indisposed to yield • slight concession. Oarded yarns, for some time neglected, were is somewhat better demand. The home trade continues steady. Oenappee, exept for picked numbed, Sr. quiet Thera le little or no change to report in the piece branch. The American houses are almost entirely out of the market. The foreign trade is still of • very had-to-month cha racter. Some feworders for future delivery have been placed by the home trade, bat them are ementional mesa The home merchants generally are coly trying to escort stocks, I or anything cheap that may fall in their way. The plain makers generally continue well employed; fancy mans are Not so favourably situated.Tbe bulk of the orders which are in bud are being fast executed ; and as the present is what is called "between the seasona," manufacturers will require some fresh orders to keep their machinery running for a few months until the demand for the autumn sets in. I The hardening tendency of cotton, and the firmer peke of wool, have • marked innuendo in causing firmness in the quotations for pima.
