NOTTINGHAM ELECTION COMMTTTF.E. Kr. ADAIR brought up a report from the Nottingham Bleotion Committee, stating that it appeared from the evident* adduced before them on the 2nd of April inst. that James Pringle, having been duly summoned by the Speaker's warrant, had disobeyed that warrant, and bad not appe trod before the committee. He accordingly moved that James Pringle, having disobeyed such warrant and not having appeared before the committee, had been guilty of contempt and a breach of the privileges of the house. Mr. WATKIN wished to know whether that was the sena course taken in such cases. Two witnesses bad been duly summoned, and bad not appeared before the Great Yarmouth Election Committee, and no step had been taken with respect to them. Mr. H ADFIELD thought it was desirable that some prompt power should be giren to the chairman of an election committee to issue a warrant for the apprehen sion of witnesses who disobeyed the Speaker's warran;:. A party who would bribe au elector was quite competent to bribe him not to appear before the committee. The DEPUTY-SPEAKER said the motion was perfectly regular and in order. In the case of the Great Yarmouth election petition he believed no report was made to the house on the subject. The motion was then agreed to. II Mr. ADAIR then moved that Jas. Pringle, having been guilty of contempt and a breach of the privileges of the house, should, for the said offence, be taken into the cus tody of the Serjeant-at-Arms, and that Mr. Deputy Speaker do issue his warrant accordingly. This motion was also agreed to. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were considered and ordered to be read a third tune :—Bromsgrove and Droitwich Water Bill ; North Eastern Railway (Durham New Lines, &c.) Bill ; North Eastern Railway (Yorkshire New Lines, &c.) Bill ; letlnchester Improvement Bill, and Thames Tunnel Company Bill. ELECTION COMMITTEES. Mr. WALPOLE brought up the report of the committee of selection, which stated that the conunittee had ap pointed Wednesday, the 25th of April, for selecting the committees to try the petitions presented against the re turns of members for Cheltenham, Lichfield, Linooln, and Banbury ; and Thursday, the 26th of April, for Barn staple, Harwich, and Dover ; and Tuesday, the lit of May, for Hereford, Wareham, Carlow, and Drogheda ; and Wed nesday, the 2nd of May, for Devonport, Galway, and Tiver ton. THE REFORM BILL. Mr. D. GRIFFITH gave notice that he would not move his amendment in reference to the Reform Bill on the secowl reading, but bring it forward at a later stage of the proct THE ENCLGSURE IN LEICESTER-SQUARE. Mr. W. LESLIE asked the First Commissioner of Works whether there was any intention of causing the en closure in Leicester-square to be turned into a garden or ornamental ground, under the provisions of the Gardens in Towns Protection Act, 1363, and also whether the eques trian statue in the centre of the square was one of the public statues committed to his care under another act of parliament. Mr. COVTPER said the act of 1863 imposed no duties upon hinirelf, or upon the office which he held; and all re garded Leicester-square, the improvement of it devolved upon the Metropolitan Board of Works, who were to exe cute the provisions of the act of 1863. He had no control over that hoard, and wall not responsible for their proceed ings. He was happy to be able to furnish his hon. friend with the information which he possessed, and he could state that the Metropolitan Board had put up notice in the square in accordance with the provisions of the act, and that had been followed by legal proceedings being instituted against the board by a gentleman who claimed the soil in the enclosure of the square, and probably the question would be decided shortly. As regarded the statue, which had only one arm and one leg, it was not under his jurisdiction ; it was private property, and the person to whom it belonged had not taken that decent care of it which he ought to have done. TENANT RIGHT IN IRELAND. Mr. O'BEIRNE asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether he would fix a day for the introduction of the Bill for the Improvement of the Law of Landlord and Tenant in Ireland : Mr. C. FORTESCUE said he was not able to fix a day, but be was prepared on the part of the government to say that he would ask leave to introduce a bill on a very early day after the second reading of the Reform BilL (Laughter and "Hear, bear.") THE AGGREGATE INCOME OF THE WORKING MEN. Mr. B. STANHOPE asked the Chancellor of the Ex- che.itter what information existed as to the amount of the aggregate income of the working men of this country, and on what basis that amount had been calculated. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—I am not aware of anything in the nature of information, or which am be properly called information, upon this sub ject of the aggregate income of the working classes of this eountiy. It is a matter which at various times has been made the subject of interesting inquiries by statisticians, and there are certain materials upon which such inquiries may be lased, particularly the enumeration in the census of the different chows of labourers, and upon the know ledge of the numbers of those different chases, and upon the knowledge of the wages which they usually receive computatimus may ►e made ; but they are mere computa tions, am( ought not to be considered as in the nature of infor mation. I could nut propound, and I have neverpropounded, anything of the sort as information. I have recently given an opinion upon the subject—(hear, hear)—and, mdeed, for financial purposes I have looked into the cir cumstances on former occasions ; I did not give more than an opition, hut it was a very moderate conjecture, which I should be able to maintain against all opponents ; I can not claim for it, however. any higher rank than that of an opinion. (Hear, hear.) CATTLE PLAGUE-COMPENSATION. Lord R. MONTAGU asked the Under Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, in fulfilment of the promise given by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, any measure laid been prepared to give compensation to those persons whose cattle had been killed, under the orders of the Privy Council, previous to the passing of the act of this session ; and, if so, when that measure would be intro duced. Sir 0. GREY said the question referred to the cattle which were slaughtered three months before the passing of the recent act. The matter Wit., still under the considera tion of the government as to what inquiries really should be made. so that the government might know what cattle were killed in consequence of the disease, and their proper value, and other facts, and in further answer to the noble lord, the right hon. baronet stated that the questions to be answered had nut yet been issued, but no time would be lost in making all the inquiries which might be necessary. THE CONVEYANCE OF CATTLE FROM SCOTLAND. Mr. H. BAILLIE asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether it woe the intention of the government to maintain the prohibition of the conveyance of cattle by railway after the 15th April ; and, if so, whether the northern counties of Scotland, where the plague did not exist, might be allowed to send cattle to the south by railway so long as they remained free from disesee. Sir G. GREY said he stated the other day that it was not intended to continue after the 15th April the system of absolute prohibition of removal by railway, but to sub stitute for that system one of granting lioesses under which cattle from certain districts might be removed. THE ESTABLISHED CHURCH, IRELAND. Sir J. GRAY moved that the position of the established church in Ireland is a just cause of dissatisfaction to the people of that country, and urgently demands the conside ration of parliament. He observed in the first instance that, though there were other and collateral questions in volve 1, the main broad principle which he sought to assert wan that of religious liberty and equality ; and however the establishment of that principle might be delayed, its ad vocate+ were resolved to persist in their efforts until it pre vailed in its integrity over the whole of the United King dom. He contended that the church in Ireland had failed in all the purposes for which it was introduced, afters costly experiment of 300 years ; and the question must on con sideration arise whether that experiment was to be con tinued any longer. He pointed out that out of a popula tion of 3,03,564 the members of the established church were 693,357, as compared with 5,105,207 nonconformists, of whom 4,305,263 were catholics. In the province of Ulster, which was founded in protestantiam, the propor tion of church of England inhabitants was 28.42 to non conformists, including catholics, 79.38, the catholics being at the rate of 2j to lof the church population. In Leinster, the church of England was 11.89 to 88.11 nonconformists ; while in Minister and Connaught the proportions were MO to 94.90, and 4.15 to 95.85. The catholics in Meter were 50.44 to 20.42 church of England ; in Leinster, 86.57 to 11.89; in Munster, 94.21 to 5.10; and in Connaught, 94.85 to 4.45. In the dioceses of Armagh, Down, Dublin, and Derry, the church average was 19.3 to 80.7 nonconformists, while in the other eight dioceses the average was 5.495 to 94.505 ; the catholiai be 92.513 per cent. He then drew a politico-historical plAure of the Irab church in earlier times, such as those of Spencer, Sir John Davies, Bishop Bramhall in 1633, Mosheim, the ecclesiastical historian, &c., showing its low ' ; THE religious comli:ion, and its almost neoessmy con nexion with the penal laws enacted against Roman catholic*. Turning to the subject of the present revenues of the Irish church he showed that the income of the Irish church was over 700,000/. a year. The total number of benefices in Ireland was 1,510, while there were 199 parishes in which there was no member of the church ex istent, but which did contain tki,ol7 Roman catholics. Of the 1,510 benefices, 615 gave an average of church popula tion of 23 in each. while the revenue was 257,2071., or 31F. for each family of five protestant. In 229 benefices the revenue was 83,0711., or 139 f. 12s. per family. In 114 benefices the revenue was 36,35.5 t., the church population 570, or 178/. per family. On these lacta he urged that there was a case for the consideration of the Irish church by parliament. Colonel GREVILLE seconded the motion, urging the removal of a cause of disaffection and grievance in Ireland. Mr. C. FORTESCUE, on the part of the government, declined to accept the motion, unless with a clear view to, and intention of action in the matter, although he himself personally was in full sympathy with its object; and he did not oppose it on any ground of permanent policy. He was of opinion that in due time the Irish church should make up it mind to part with some of its endow ments, by which means the state would obtain • fund which would be applicable to the unendowed church of the majori B. Mr. R. P. DAWSON opposed, and Mr. P. URQUHART sup ported the motion. The O'DONOGHUE observed that it was evident that the government did not propose immediately or prospec tively to deal with the question of the Irish church ; and proceeded to arve that the endowments of the Irish esta blished church had been diverted into that church from their °rig:nal destination, and were not appropriated to the religious purposes of the majority of the people ; so that as an establishment it presented an anomaly and an injustice unperalleled and unknown in the world. Mr. WHITESIDE contrasted the manliness of the avowal of the O'Donoghue, that the property of the esta blished church in Ireland was national property in the widest sense of the term, with the paltry policy enun ciated by the minister who had spoken on the part of the government, which counselled agitation for the desti uc tion of the Irish church while it repudiated the responsi bility of official action. He denied that Ireland, as a nation, was Roman catholic, however the majority of the peasantry might belong to that faith ; and in reference to the motion he offered no compromise, but would meet it with the most distinct and unwavering opposition, believing, as he did, that it was a revolutionary movement on the part of the National Associa tion, the object of which was the separation of Ire land from the United Kingdom. He urged that the church was intimately connected with the property and institutions of Ireland, and an attack on that establishment should be resisted as an assault on the property and religion of that country. He also elabo rately argued that it was a compact entered into by the Roman catholics at the time of emancipation that the church establishment was not to be assailed. After observations from Sir H. HOARE in support of the resolution, The debate was adjourned until Thursday. Mr. AYRTON obtained leave to bring in a bill to appropriate a 1,01.10 n of the income from the Finsbury estate of the suppressed stall of Finsbury for the relief of the spiritual destitution of the metropolis. BOROUGH BOUNDARIES AND REDISTRIBUTION OF SEATS. Mr. OLIPHANT, in withdrawing his motion for statis tical information, said that since he had placed his motion on the paper the attitude of the government had changed, and changed for she better. (" Hear, hear," and " Oh, oh.") They were now determined to stand or fall by a measure of reform which included a redidribution of seats ; and as they could not carry it out without the informa tion which it had been his object to acquire, his motion became unnecessary. To put himself in order, he begged to move the adjournment of the house. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER wished to put the hon. member right in one respect. There had not been any change in the position of the government, although there might have been in the view of the hon. member. (" Hear, hear," and laughter.) He (Mr. Oli phant) had expressed his satisfaction that the government regarded the question to which the motion referred, namely, the representation of the people as including the matter of the redistribution of seats. But it never was the intention of the government that it should not. The only point which the government reserved to themselves was as to the time when the redistribution should be pro )osed—(" hear, hear," and "oh.") —but as to the principle involved there never had been any doubt in their mind, and there was no alteration in their intention. (Hear, hear.) The motion was then withdrawn. The other business was disposed of and the house ad journed at half-past 1. elniberdity Intelligente. CAMBRIDGE, APRIL 10.

(Before the Deputy-Recorder.) Joseph Henry Carter, 25, servant, pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with feloniously forging and uttering an order for the payment of DR. 195., with intent to defraud Mr. Sterling, a gentleman residing at the west end of the town, his master and employer. The prosecutor recommended the prisoner to the merciful consideration of the court. The Deputy Recorder adopted the recommendation, and sentenced the prisoner to six months' hard labour in the House of Correction. Charles Bewley, 20, labourer, was indicted for stealing a box containing silver plate and other articles, to the value of 701., the property of Richard Albeit Bailey, and Edward Morgan, 18, mason, and Willian Bull, a respectable look ing man, described as being a general dealer were indicted for receiving the said property, well knowing it to have been stolen. Mr. Metcalfe conducted the prosecution; Mr. Coleridge defended Beasley and Morgan, and Mr. Ribton appeared for the prisoner Bull. The case occupied the attention of the court for a con siderable time, but the facts may be thus narrated. It appeared from the evidence adduced that the prosecutor, Major-General Bailey, was about to remove from Lad broke-terrace, to No. 3, Lansdowne-terrace, Bayswater, on the 9th March last, and for that purpose there had been employed a person named Dagworthy to remove his goods. To assist him in this task, Dagworthy employed the pri soner Beasley, and on the day mentioned the removal of the goods took place, Beasley taking the active part in the removal. The box mentioned in the indictment, which was really a plate chest containing silver plate and other valuables to the amount of between 70/. and SOL, was packed by Mn.s Bailey herself, and she saw it conveyed to the first van load by the prisoner Beasley. The van so laden arrived at the new residence at lanadowne-terrace, and the other boxes were delivered there about two o'clock on the same afternoon, but the plate chest was discovered to be missing on the following Sunday, the 11th of March, but under the steps of the area there was found the canvas covering of the chest, carefully wrapped up. The next that was heard of the chest was that it was seen by Beasley's landlady in his bedroom. She also proved that about 3 o'clock on the same afternoon she heard a scuffling upstairs in Beasley's room, and saw Morgan descending the staircase with a bag over his shoulder, and on seeing her he turned to Beasley, who was locking his room door, and said, " All right ; these are old boots and shoes,which my old man will make into new ones." The theory of the prosecution was that this expres sion was made to distract the attention of the landlady from the " clatter" she had heard up-stairs ; but after Beasley and Morgan had left, she, by the advice of • female lodger, inspected Beasley's room, and in the bed she saw the plate chest in question now produced, and the removal of which from her house she refused until Beasley had paid her the amount of rent owing to her. This Beasley did, and Morgan was seen to carry away the chest, which was found under a railway arch at Notting-hill divested of its valuable contents, with the exception of two silver spoons, which were identified by the presecutrix. To fix the complicity of the prisoner Bull in the transaction the evidenoe rested upon that of a lad named Berry, who swore that he went with Morgan to Bull's house after Beasley was in custody, and when Morgan said he had seen Beasley, who was locked up on remand for stealing the plate, he asked 801 l to help them to get a solicitor to defend him. On this the pn soner Bull replied that "he had paid more money for the stuff than it was worth, for it was not like the Cornhill stuff which could be put into the metal pot, but this could not.' l Morgan then said if you do not get a solicitor for Beasley I will round upon you, and so will the landlady, who saw the box taken away. On thin Bull said he would stand a sovereign to get Beasley • counsel at his trial, and he threw down two shillings, which, he remarked, would get Beasley, who was locked up, something to eat. In cross-examination the wi tness Berry admitted with some reluctance that he had been convicted of felony seven years ago, and whipped, and had frequently since been locked up for the camoroffences of gambling and drunken. ness. The learned counsel for the defence addressed the jury on behalf of their respective clients, and The Deputy-Recorder summed up the evidence with his usual clearness. _ The jury, after a brief consultation, returned a verdict of Gudty against Beasley and Moorrggaan, but acquitted the prisoner Bull, who was at once disc harged. The Deputy-Recorder sentenced Beasley and Morgan to twelve months' imprisonment in the House of Correction. Alfred Martin, 38 was indicted for stealing a quantity of fish, the property of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company, in the course of its tranidt to Billings' gate-market. Mr. Poland appeared for the company. The facts were these. The prisoner was a carman in the employ of the company, and had had to convey fish from the Blackfriars-road Station to the different salesmen in Billingsgate-market. On the morning in question he was despatched at an early hour with a vanload of fish as usual, with a boy named McCarthy as vanguard. In oonsequence of suspicions entertained by Inspector Tyrrell, at the head of the van and police department at the Blackfriars-road Station, that vigilant officer obtained the assistance of Mr. Thorogood, one of the active officers of the Great Northern Railway Company in Billingsgate, and by the evidence of that officer and the boy, the prisoner was given into custody. The prisoner, who made an ingenious defence, was con victed, and _ _ _ The Deputy-Recorder sentenced him to be imprisoned for nine months in the Howe of Correction. The grand jury in the course of the day ignored the in dictment preferred against Daniel Elmore for the murder of his wife, but returned a true bill for manslaughter. The grand jury also returned true bills against Edward James Lindsay, the City merchant, charged with forgery and fraud. The Second Court, before Mr. Commissioner Kerr, was occupied with the trial of Mint prosecutions, which were wholly destitute of interest. THE POLICE COURT& GUILDHALL John Eagle, the driver of one of the London General Omnibus Company's Ringsland omnibuses, and William Priestly, the driver of one of Tilling's omnibuses from Hackney-road to Camberwell-gate, were summoned before Alderman Waterlow for wanton driving, at a quarter past 11 o'clock on Tuesday night, the 27th of March last. Mr. Thomas Beard appeared for Eagle, and Mr. Wontner, junior, for Priestly. William Ruck, police constable, 818, said that about a quarter past 11 o'clock on the evening of the 27th of March he came out of White Hart-court, Gracechurch-street, and saw the two defendantsdriving theiromnibuses at afurious rate put him. They were going like a pair of steam engine-4 at the rate of fourteen miles an hour, and all four horses were galloping. When they came near IFtennett's-place, Eagles omnibus caught the end of Priestly's, and forced the horses and front wheels of that vehicle on to the pavement, and sent the pole into the shop-front of Messrs. Parkinson and Bout's, chronometer makers. The result was that it smashed the shutters and shop-front, did a great deal of damage to the goods in the shop, and when the pole was drawn out of the window the shutters came tumbling about the horses and on the pavement. Witness had to keep guard over the shop all night to protect the property which hail thus been exposed. Eagle blamed Priestly, and Priestly blamed Eagle for the collision. There had been a little rain. but the stones were not very slippery. This witness was cross-examined at great length by Mr. Beard and Mr. Wontner, during which he showed that he was not very clear as to how the collision occurred, but the main fact that it did take place was admitted on all hands. Robt. Trail, carman to Mr. Smith, of Dover-street, Pic cadilly, said he saw the collision take place, and when the two vehicles were locked together he rushed to the bead of Eagle's horses and called out to him, "Why don't you stop! You see you have got hold of the other man." He was then dragging Tilling's omnibus along. He would not stop, but whipped his horses up as fast as ever he could, and the effect of that was to drive the pole of Tilling's omnibus through the window. When he had done so, witness said, "Now you have done it you will have some thing to pay for," and he replied, "Mind your own business ; you know nothing at all about it." In cross-examination by Mr. Beard, he said there was no pretence for saying they were going 14 miles an hour. Priestly was going about four or five, and Eagle about seven or eight miles an hour. . . Two other witnesses who bad been passengers on Priestly 's omnibus said they overtook Eagle's shoat Shoreditch station, and they passed each other on the way up to Conthill. There they both stopped, Priestly being first. He went on and took up a passenger at Fenchurch street, and had just started on again, when Eagle came up, tried to pass them, and came into collision with them. He then whipp ed his horses, dragged the other omnibus some yards, and eventually thrust the pole of it through the shop window. Eagle was not going more than six or seven miles an hour. Alderman Waterlow said—l have given the best attention I could to this case, because it is a very serious one one that was fraught with great danger to the public. If it had happened when there were more people about, the consequences might have been fatal to some of them. I feel very strongly that you (Eagle) were guilty of furious driving in the worst sense of the word, because when the collision took place you whipped your horses, and made it worse than it was before. It is clear to my mind that you were going at an unwarrantable pace. I find by your license that yon were fi ned very recently for driving to the common danger, and a fine appears to do you no The sentence upon you is that you be imprisoned or 14 days with hard labour, and that your license be taken away from you. I feel that I should not be pro tecting the public as I ought if I did not act as I now do. Priestly is disc h Mr.. Beard sairt e e l had been taken by surprise by the evidence given by the witnesses for Prieetly, and as he had evidence to bring in favour of Eagle he asked that the sentence might be made 32 days, so as to cambia him to _ _ Alderman Waterlow granted the application, at the same time Temintifmg the defendant that if the conviction were affirmed, he would then have to serve 32 days instemi of 14. Sureties were then put in to prosecute the appeaL EVENING, APRIL 11, 1866. MARYLEBONE. Two eanstables of theS division of the metropolitan police, named Richard Wildey, No. 153, and Thomas Dor rington, 93, were summoned to appear before Mr. Knox, on the charge of assaulting William Davis, a clerk at the Camden Railway station. In returning home from his work late at night on the Bth ult. the complainant stopped " deeply in thought." This attracted the attention of a constable, who questioned him as to his object in thus acting at that hour and in a lonely /Tot. Some altercation then arose the other constable taking part in it, and it was in the midst of this that the assault, a push, was said to have been committed. After hearing the evidence on both sides, Mr. Knox inquired how long the defendants had been in the force, and what had been their conduct Mr. Litton (superintendent)—About five years, and their conduct good. Mr. Knox (to defendant)—The constable was right in questioning you, and you wrong in taking it for an insult and fencing the question. Why not answer as an honest man—not, by the way, that I wish for one moment you to imagine I cast any aspersion upon your honesty—and say who you were ? If a constable were to stop me at such an unseasonable hour, and want to know who I was, I should at once give him my card. I think persons being met under such suspicious circumstances as you were are bound to answer. As to your account of the matter, you must have been dreaming a dream. I not only now dismiss the charge, but say that the officers were doing nothing but their duty. *parting Intent-10nm CHELMSFORD SPRING MEETING.—TuEsnAY. Despite the counter attractions of the steeplechase meeting at Crewkerne there was a good attendance yesterday on Cialleywood common, and the weather being particularly favourable the open. Mg day's proceedings passed off most agreeably.

MIDNIGHT MEETING MOVEMENT.—The sixth annual meeting of the friends and supporters of this move ment was held last night in Freemasons' Hall, Great Queen-street, Lincoln's-inn-fields, Mr. Robert Baxter occu pying the chair. The report of the committee, which was read by Mr. Stabb, the honorary secretary, stated that the operations of the society during the past year had been the most successful since the undertaking of its work of recla mation. Twenty-six meetings had taken place in various parts of the metropolis, and no less than 300 unfortu nates were directly induced to abandon their im moral course of life at the very time of hold ing the midnight gatherings. Others through the effect produced on their minds, had afterwards sought shelter in various charitable homes without applying to the society, and the total number rescued was estimated at about one thousand, whose reformation there was every reason to believe was sincere, and would no doubt be per manent. The movement had also made considerable pro gress in the provinces, and it was now generally recognised as being both useful in its action and philosophical in principle. Unhappily, evidences of its necessity were everywhere to be found, not only in the streets and various places of public amusement, such as public-houses, casinos, and concert-rooms, but in many pretentious Belgravisn dwellings, withinwhich district it had been stated that there were no less than 400 houses of ill fame. The society, therefore, made an earnest appeal for Christian benevolence and support in its efforts to diminish the wide-spread sore of the social evil. Its in come for the past year had amounted to 1,260(., and the whole had been absorbed by carrying out its plan of reformation. The meeting, which included many ladies, was very numerously attended. — 63otrit KENBINGTON Ditreatrw—During Easter week ending April 7, the visitors have been as follows (open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., free during the week.) : Total, 30,000.
