TECHNICAL EDUCATION. A special meeting of the Birmingham Chember of Commerce was held yesterday afternoon ; Mr. o.thmier, ILP., in the chair. The circular Mated that " the email have received application from the government to terabit information on tile subject ; they therefo r e wish to obtain mesh fasts as will establish the need of technical edam- Muss and to suggest the kind of technical schools required. Facts are therefore requested bearing upon the quondam." There was • large attendance. Mr. Samuelson had pro mised to be present, but at the last moment gent a tele gram expressive of his inability to attend : Mr. Mundane. at Nottingham, was present. The Chairman, in opening the proceedings, explained that at the last meeting of the Associated Chambers of Commerce this subject had been discussed. That had led to an interview with Lord Ro bert Mentsgu. and the result was an_Mquiry on the part of the government as to what trades had been inim by the want of technical education, and what was the beet plan to adopt with the view to bring about a remedy of the evil. The great import since of the subject was beyond a doubt. In Birmingham their Medea were not only extensive but of a very varied character. They had had art schools, and the question DOW was about having science school,. They must show to the government that they could not a ff ord to wait ; that the time had come when the government must take the matter in hand completely. Mr. Mundell% then entered into a detailed account of his experiences of the educational sys tem, and more especially of technical education on the continent. lie referred to Mr. Samuelson's pamphlet, and expressed his opinion that if we lied much to fear from France, we had more from Germany ; heenter into statistics in reference to the educational system in ony, which he described as the beet in Europe; not a child ID that country maid possibly be taught less than what was called the " primary education" there. With respect to our manufacturing industry, he said that, in his opinion, we are not going back; we are moving on progreadvely, but that unfortunately other countries were progressing much faster than we are ; they are applying aannddscieuce in a way which we do not at present understand. One result was that at that very time, as he knew, silk was being sent from Nottingham and Leicester to be died black; that was because of our defective knowledge of chemistry; those were cases which must be met. The defective education or total absence of it amongst our people WY truly lamentable—there was a family of 15 in the district which Lord John Manners represented, not one of whom could either reed or write—not 10 per cent. of our anima population were fit to touch " technical education " many years must elapse before much could be done ; bat we must set about it at oboe. What the country wanted was as thorough a man in the education movement as Mr. Cobden was 111 free trade. Mr. Field, an American mer chant, and chairman of the Council of the Chamber of Commerce, expressed similar views. Thirty years ago, he mid, in every hardware store in America, one-third of the value were goods sent out from the Birmingham district ; now the value was not one-tenth ; English manufacturers did nut possess the faculty of adaptability as did those of America—they used our raw material and made up goods ' suitable to noxious markets—here the brain-power was waLting—that was only to bo got through the wheel — here the men set up their rules and raised difficulties with manufacturers which the educated men of other countries did not ; the educational screw was wanted from the bottom before we could go on to a bettereystem. Mr. John Lowe was for beginning at the foundation, and not attempting too much at once. In his opinion the working men have been made too much fuss of in late years, and they are immensely better paid than labour in other mum tries. Re wanted to see the "City Arabs" in a coulee of training instead of going for technical education at one great leap. Mr. W. C. Aitken admitted that much was required for the lower class, but forteohnical education we could not afford to wait. A discussion of a somewhat dis cursive character took place, which lasted nearly three lours, but scarcely a suggestion of a practical character was made. Mr. Wagner said that the foreign manufac turers availed themselves of our best models ; and Mr. Mundell* obsen•edi that amongst our artisans were to be found the best raw material in the world ; all that was needed was a proper education. Ultimately the discussion was adjourned until Friday next. THE EDUCATIONAL IhSTITUTE OP SCOTLAND AND THE EDUCATION QUESTION. The general oomnuttee of management of the Educational Institute of Scotland have issued a report on the Recommendations and Draft Bill of the Royal Com mission on Education in Scotland. To the report is ap pended the following " Summary of opinions on the report and draft of the bill ' ; TENURE or Or ries.—The commissioners propose to change the present life-tenure of office of parochial school master. into a. temporary one for all future national schoolmasters, and seriously to alter it for even present iinsnibents. Permanency of appointment is an eco nomic method of attracting the services of able men ; it strengthen, the teacher's hands in the discharge of duties always difficult and often delicate; and it con fers a as fain degree of independence and respectability upon the profession. Without it the electors of teachers would be less careful and painstaking in their appoint and there would be frequent change of teachers. The public interest would be must materially served by protecting the teacher from the dictation of local caprice or partisan feeling, and from summary and arbilisry dis missal. The Parochial Schools Act of Dail, if properly applied, provides sufficient securities for dismissal on account of iunnorulity and inefficiency. The great weight of the evidence laid before the commissioners is in favour of pertnanent appointments, with securi ties for deprivation for the causes stated above. The present tenure, therefore, ought not to be changed, but extended to all national schoolmasters. CoNSTITLTION OF GENERAL BOARIL—The General Board of Education, as proposed, would coutaiu no representa tion of schoolmasters, either directly or indirectly. A representation of professional interests and experience Inuid bring the general managing body into harmony with the teaching body, and solve or prevent many prac tical difficulties. From the analogy of the other profes sions this claim should be at once conceded. COMMIE Or COCNCII--In the proposed national system, besides the Scotch General Board, the Committee of Council on Education is also to have very large powers. In fact, the latter, the head of the de nominational s y stem in England, will be paratuount in a national system in Scotland. It is submitted that a properly constituted Scotch board, separate and independent, but thoroughly under the con trol of pirliament, a much more likely to understand and respect the peculiarities of the Scotch system of education —a system so highly prized, and confessedly so differant from that of England. SeitimotastEate INcousa.—The ince.„ftes proposed for teachers are altogether inadequate. a 1•11 all P . s ets for =As for Scottish education, a mininitn e salary ought to be fixed by parliament, and, conr.ctering the nature of the proposed school committees (the ratepayers), t h en is t h e greatest reason for this. The fixing of school fees, too, ought not to be left tut tsly in the hands of local ma nagers. More amyl., means should be provided for paying assistents. Tat ftErisro Cony.—The principle of payment for re tails, as embodied in the Revised Code, whilst essentially incapable of fair application, is unnecessary for Scotland, as is proved by the fact that without it in the Scotch schools many more scholars pass the examination of the vised Code than in the English ones. The evils which the Revised Code was devised to remedy have not yet been proved to exist iu Scotch schools, and the mess of evidence in the report is decidedly opposed to its application to Scotland. LOCAL SiTIOOL Consurrisa.—There ought to be a minimum property qualification for inembers of local school committees high enough to secure men of respecta hility and intelligence. coseee,t, at OF PAROCHIAL SCHOOLIL —No parochial school should be converted into a new national school without the teacher's ocassat. GRADAI lON or Senonts.—Gradation of schools should be carefully attended to, wherever practicable, on the grounds both of efficiency and economy. Comrvt.som EneCATION.—Some more or less modified form of compulsory education seems the necessary com plement of a complete national system of education. THZ ROYAL COMMISSION ON IRISH EDUCATION. —The royal commissioners have been appointed to inquire into the nature, character, and extent of the instruction afforded by the several institutions now existing in Ireland, and maintained in whole or in part from the public funds, by private individuals, or by voluntary societies, or subscribers, or religious orders, for the purpose of elementary or primary education, and especially to in quire into and report upon the constitution and practical working of the board of National Education in Ireland, and how far that board has fulfilled the objects for which it was eAablished, and the cronies or reasons why certain societies and patrons have been unwilling to place their schools in connection with its system ; also to inquire concerning that part of the said national system which relates to model schools, anti report how far the same is capable of any and what improvement • also to inquire and report as to the de fi ciency which is alleged to exist of trained teachers in the class of schools called non. vested, and how such deficiency, if such shall appear, vorq be best supplied ; and also how far the rules of the said National Board with regard to religious teaching weld with safety be modified so as to extend more widely the benefits of the system ; and further, whether any benefi cial change could be effected in reference to the salaries and mode of payment of teachers employed in national schools ; and Lady, whether any improvement can be effected in the constitution of the board with a view to a more satisfactory administration of its affairs.

We trust Mt he will be able to mitered his word—though, if be doss, it will be romedind entirely unpresselented in his weer as a min ister of the arms. The system which haw always prevailed seder his leadership of leaving the bri ms of the session to the last fortnight is productive of mischief in many ways. It prevents full &amnion by members of the measures by the government it prevents members from the views of their musk dents with reference to ministerial measures before voting upon them. It leads to such contagion as permits the passage of measures, not only in the bands of ministers, but in the bands of private mem bers, which would never be deliberately sanctioned by par liament. It leads to the dividing up of the day into two or three sittings far the purpose at rushing mamma through—a system which, besides its othersells, has the disadvantage of rendering the committees radically use less, by either preventing them meeting at all, or making it imporiblo for them to do their work peepsely In this time of hurry, confusion, and uproar, lib - gravest sub jects are decided without debate, without oonadeistion, and without the knowledge, perhaps, of more than • dozen or so of the members. It in literally impossible that members should, in the time at their disposal, comprehend and consider all the rordtions upon which they are required to decide within the last ten clays of the seam ; and we are sure that the statutes of the present year, when printed, will contain many important provisions which will be now and surprising to the most attentive members of parliament. We trust that Sir John'. mge porters will remember their indignation and his promises' when the house meets again, and demand an early pro duction of the ministerial measures. Among the questions deferred to next March are several of the very highest importance, and it will be outrageous if parliament dould only be al lowed a week or ten days for their consideration. There is nothing in the world, save ministerial ngligenoe to prevent the production of the Banking Bill, Militia Bill, tic., within the first week of the Much sitting, and we hope the government will be prepared. So great was the hurry at the close of the seseion brat week, that ministers were actually - obliged to postpone some of their measures for the organization of the departments—mea sures which were actually before parliament, and to which there was little opposition—until the next meeting. That was a tolerably humiliating confession of ministerial idle ness and indifference ; but it was hardly so bad as the failure to submit the estimates for a fiscal year which is very nearly half completed. There have been eases in which • vote of credit for three months was quite justifiable ; but we are sure that ministers will search a long time for • exec in wbloh an administration which had been in office for five months came down about the middle of the year to ask • vote of credit to cover nine months' credi t, the reby CIUMI of Commons granted the vote of and deprived itself of all con trol over the expenses of the dominion for the period which it covered. That vote gave over to ministers the exclusive control of the public expenditure to the extent of millions ; and the readiness with which parliament granted such authority to • set of public men, notori ous for their extravaganoe, is the very reverse of re. assuring. When parliament meets in March, the money will be spot, and spent just as ministers plesse,and no matter what the members of the House of Commons may think of it, the money will be irrecoverable. But the house will not be the less responsible, because there was no excuse for the abdication of the functions of parliament which the vote of credit involves- In every respect the finan cial part of the work of the session has been badly managed. The vote of credit was followed by • hastily prepared tariff, which is avowedly but a temporary affair — to be revised next March—though we have our suspicion that the revision will not prove very extensive. At the same time, the avowal that it is but a temporary affair will do as much mischief as though there was mad to m rct a thorough revision in the same session. The banking business his been left in a wretchedly unsatisfactory shape. Mr. King is still government banker, and till in • position to dictate to the govern ment, and to harass rival institutions. It is notorious that the feeling throughout the country and in the House of Commons is strongly in favour of depriving Mr. King of the dangerous powers which the government has so foolishly put into his hands. Yet, ministers have taken care not to bring the question before parliament, and to leave the house and the country completely in the dark an to the policy of the government on this most im• portant question. There is not even any assuranoe that ministers will be readyto deal with the subjectnext March. And no one who knows anything of the mischief which has resulted from Mr. King's conduct as government banker can fail to understand the evil of allowing such an unsatisfactorystate of slain to continue indefinitely. The manner in which thelrateroolonial Railway basbeen dm poddofisin the hut degreediscreditable. The building of the road and the selection of the route has ,been left entirely to the discretion of ministers. Without an attempt to ascertain whether or not the road could not be given to a company on advantageous terms—es there was every reason to suppose could easily have been done—this great work is entirely given over to the manipulation of a com bination of reckless politioians, who have rendered them selves and their country notorious by their jobbery and ex travagance in connexion with former public works. Tho decision of the House of Commons to leave everything connected with the Intercolonial Railway to be settled by the government opens the door to the grommet abuses, and prepares the way for the waste of millions of money. We can only express our amazement at the large majority by which the house consented thus to disfranchise itself." CAPTAIN MAINE REID ON 'ENGLISH FEELING TowABDS AMERICA. —The li r ew York Times of the 22nd says ;--Captaiff Striae Reid has recently returned from t ,s twenty years' sojourn in England. The first in timation that we bad of his presence was a repo rt, of mys terious origin. that he was about to give a series of read ings from his own works. The base insinuation, however, was repudiated, with an amount of explosive violent» which showed that the leader of the forlorn hope at Cha pultepeo was in no mood to be trilled with. He was not as Dickens was ; he had not come to America " to make an exhibition of himself." But a man can make an exhibi tion of himself in more ways than one ; and Cap tain Reid has accomplished the feat most successfully in • letter to the Waahnioton Chronicle, dated from Newport, December 3. He sets that amiable divine, Newman Hall, on his legs for a few minutes, and then promptly knocks him down again, in order to proceed to his main object, the moral ann ihila tion of England. He comes down upon England like the hammer of Thor. The torrid rush of his invective ought to suffocate the " middle class" of England like the blast of a simoom. The aristo cracy ought to quail before his scathing exposure of their fiendish malignity. Let us take a brief glance at England, according to Captain Reid. Newman H.aß bad raid that, notwithstanding the apparent attitude of government, the "great heart" of the English people was with the North during the great struggle. Captain Mayne Raid takes the npportunity to contradict this statement, Mid, further, gives his own views on the subject. Fusty , be tells us that the British government " instigated " the outfit of the Alabama. "Why the English government pursued this course was well known to me, as well as to others who have taken the trouble to make themselves acquainted with the sinister workings of Europe= diplo macy." The expenditure for " semi-emancipation "of the blacks in the West Indies " was regretted ell over England, and a proposal to deprive him of the tensed freedom thus obtained would sot have beau an grier, even in the atmosphere of Barter Hall." certain," Captain Reid can say that the son of Wilberforce (the Bishop of Oxford ?) would not have protested. This will startle people in Eng/aad , we fancy. But now comes the real attitude of the English satin se thus depicted by Captain Reid : " England's led sympathy for the South was worse than even ; it was the most wanton of wickedness. It boasted for its base an element of generosity, a leaning to the weaker side. All pretence. Its motive was neither manhood nor humanity. Had the South been stronger than you it would have taken your side, and backed you will Sumter. and Alabama Sumter. Its sole purpose was to mani pulate you both like • main of cocks, mere mutual strife till both lay bleeding in the Then would both have been at England's feet, and Eerope's too, to be reconstructed according to the ideas of despotism." Much the same motives, says Captain itur = actuated " that eougloaseration of ferocity and flan keymm," the middle classes. The " lower olemes," be admits, made such slight manifestations of sympathy as they could, " from the humble platform of sion." We doubt if Captain Reid's revelations will much of the bad effect on the relations between the two countries white, we are eery to say, they are clearly inteadel to lave.

The Rev. Mr. O'Callaghan who is attached to the Roman catholic chapel in Dlikeestreet, Lineoln's•inn fields, preached a sermon on Christmas-day warning his congregation against the evils of Fenianism, and de nouncing the Clerkenwell outrage. Since then the rev. gentleman has received several letters threatening his life if he repeats " the offence," and warning him that, if he does not wish to have his chapel end house burnt, he will keep silence for the future on the subject of Poniards. On Friday night, as a man named Edward Wil kinson was posting a letter at the General Post-office, Mid dlesborough, he observed something burning at his feet, which he picked up, and found it to have the appearance of powder cartridges. He flung them down, trampled out the fire, and took them into the post-office. The post master sent for the police, when the material that had been burning was found to consist of three Arm paper tubes, four or five inches long, rammed hard down with powder, a fusee being attached to each, and all tied hard together.' As letters of warning had been sent to the superintendent of police and to the postmaster, some time ago, stating that an attempt to blow up the post-office was to be made, it is considered that the party who had laid down the burning rockets at the foot of the letter box, had intended to slip them into the box as be posed, but hid not stopped to do it for fear of dete ction, and had thus—owing probably to the person spoken of umincup at the time—thrown them peat the hole in the box. Had the rockets been pitched into the box, not only would the letters in it have been destvoyed, but the box would have been blown to pieces, and the clerks in the office probably injured, if not killed, by the effects of the explosion. The police have got certain information which they are making use of to trace the perpetrators of this dastardly outrage. —Northern Daily Pena At the Birmingham Quarter Sessions, yesterday, the Recorder (Mr. Arthur Roberts Adana) made the fol. lowing observa tions in the course of his charge to the gaud jury :—" I am happy to be able to conpatulate you that in this large and populous borough there has been no overt act of that treasonable conspiracy known as Fenisnion ; and although there can be no doubt that there are some who sympathise more or limn* the views enter tained by the leaders of that conspiracy, yet their *flints have met with so little sympathy with their fellow townsmen that they have abstained from all acts of open violence. I do not believe it is necessary here to expose any determination to uphold the laws under which we all thrive, or express our determination to resist to the utmost • band of conspira tors who, by rejecting ell ordinary and legal mode. of obtaining redress from wrongs, either supposed or real, have resorted to acts of violence to compel • dismember ment of the government of these ; far whatever may be our di ff erences, either political or religious, yet there is one point on which the great majority im agreed, namely, that the three geographical divisions of this em pire must, for their common welfare, remain for ever united. Outrages like those committed at Manchester, or at the Middlesex House of Correction, have raised in the minds of many such a storm of indignation against ell proms of Irish extraction that I dread lest the feeling I skald degenerate into • war of races and creeds, the results of which could not fail to be over y detrimental to the interests of liberty all I the world ; and I would warn you that it would be most unjust to treat all our fellowoubjeets 1 who have come from Ireland se disaffected, or to consider I that all who profess the Roman catholic religion are en.

I trust, therefore, that the large Irish population which lives amonpt you may still be recognised as loyal subjects, and that you will join with me in the sentiments that I have here expressed." At the Liverpool quarter sessions ye.terday, the Recorder, Mr. J. B.

Sir John Pakington, the First Lord of the Ad miralty, attended the annual soiree of the Mechanics' In stitute, at Droitwich, on Friday evening. After some general references to educational matters, Sir John, in the course of .a long address, spoke of Fenianisin. He thought that an additional reason might be found for the union of all classes in this country against the weeping existing, which, he was sorry to say, none of them could does their eyes to. It was • most painful subject, and one on which he would not wish to dwell. The existence of the oonspiracy,and the manner in which it was con ducted strongly impressed their minds with the feeling that it was.more necessary than ever to endeavour to band together those who were loyally attached to the con stitution under which they lived. That conspiracy was marked by deeds of the latest wickedness—of un qualified wickedness—which made one shudder to think of, and, by the unscrupulous recklessness of men who had no legitimate object to promote, in the de struction of life end property, and in the utter thawed of these feelings which should animate the inhabitants of • civilised and Christian country. It was impossible to note the existence of such • conspiracy without feeling deeply—and he trusted he was speaking the sentiments of every loyal man in the country—that it ought to stimu late them to consider gravely all those points in which the position of their humbler fellow-countrymen could be made such as they would wish it to be. He confessed he had been glad to mark the strong feeling of indignation and disgust which he believed was now growing in every direction in the public mind at the efforts of these mis guided and unscrupulous men. So wonderfully were events arranged by Providence, that good often came out ' of evil. They were sometimes led to think that out of this conspiracy—dark as it was in many of its character ' iatice—there might arise some matter for con He thought it might teach them that they cuigri a , t l ia t= who were really loyal—and by that he meant not only loyal to the monarch who reigned over them, but loyal also to the liberties they enjoyed and the institutions under which they fiod—to cling more fondly to those liberties and institutions . Every one of them should do their duty as individual citizens to drive from amongst them every man who disturbed the harmony of hitherto happy England. He thought the present state of affairs should teach them, among other things, not to be too bitter in their party differences and divisions. But these sank into insignificance when compared with the efforts of those who endeavoured to in troduce anarchy, and deprive us of the blessings which, as Englishmen, we enjoyed. Above all, the in our midst should teach us that the liberties we enjo y and the institutions under which we had so long, so greatly tiourished were only adapted to a highly-civilised. orderly, well-conducted, law-obeying, and God-loving people—that if we were to have introduced amongst ma these conspira cies, these factious and wicked outrages, the result would probably be to abridge our liberties and interfere with the privileges whit:lh it had been the boast of England to enjoy. They might depend upon it that the free institu tions and great liberty of England could not be co-existent with • divided and a distracted people. We must be har monious amongst ourselves, obey laws, and drive these conspiracies from amongst us if we wished to preserve our liberty and happiness. On the part of the government he thought he might venture to say for his collatives what he had no hesitation in saying for himself, that it was their full intention, anxious wish, and • belief, that they might stamp out this conspiracy wicked combination by the aid of th e power which the Jew at present owe them. That was their hope and the principle on which thez a h r a na d hitherto acted. He might serteudy say for his co ern, as he said far himself, that they felt it to be their duty to reactive order and tranquillity in the country, and to root out whatever tended to destroy it. They would not shrink from using whatever miens were in their power to effect this object, which was of such paramount Importance, and he telt Navies that in carrying out these endeavours they would have the cordial support of all picnic and all dance of loyal people.

Mr. F. H. Lewes, who appeared for the prosecution, in formed the court that the promontory earned on badmen as merchants in the City of London, and the prisoner bad been in their service for about three years and a half. They had been induced to take the prisoner into their ser vice by the false reprerentstlona of • person of apparent respectability, • tradesman at Chelsea, and were, or course, entirely ignorant of the fact that he had previously un dergone a matinee at penal servitude. The total 'meant of the defalcations of the ',droner was between 3001. and. 4001., and that km had been sustained solely in cones. =al i t the gross frau d tt i te that . had haracter !. t e:li e raised upon The Recorder seelonced the prisoner to be kept in penal servitude for seven years. Henry King, • ;atable-looking young man ? wow charged with felonio usly stabbing Joseph King, with intent to do him grievous bodily harm. The circumstances of tbis case were of a very painful nature. It appeared that on the night of the 18th Deosm ber the prisoner, who lived with his father at Richmond , returned home 'drunk and a quarrel took pines between him and his brother, in the course of which the latter was stabbed in the nook with • large knife which bad been picked up by the risoner. The father and brother of the prisoner appeared in court to depose to the facts of the can, and they expremad a hope that his lordship would deal with the ease as leniently as possible. After a brief deliberation, the jury returned a verdict finding the prisoner Ginley of unlawfully wounding, and recommended him to mercy. The Rooorder sentenced the prisoner to six months' im prisonment, remarking that any further punishment would only be adding pain to the feelings of his father and brother. He hoped that this would be • lesson to him never again to Lice drink. (Before the Common Serjeant.) Beheard herd, 41, a respectable looking man, described as a builder, was indicted for having In his possession a quantity of counterfeit coin with intent to utter the same. Mr. Crawfurd and Mr. Straight conducted the prosecu tion on behalf of the Mint authorities. This caws was one of rather a peculiar nature. The prisoner appeared to have become acquainted with a person named Reid, a beer-shop keeper at Peckham, who was the principal witness for the prosecution. According to his statement, the prisoner represented to him that he was in a position to procure counterfeit coin to any amount, and he said something about a thousand pounds' worth for a thousand shillings, and that the witness might make a very good thing of it. The witness very properly seemed to have communicated with the late Inspector Brennan, who had the management of such cases on behalf of the Mint, and he subsequently acted under his directions. The prisoner on several occasions appeared to have shown the witness several counterfeit half-crowns and shillings, and asked him to circulate them, but he refused to do so. Upon one occasion the prisoner undertook to procure • quantity of base coin for the witness, and took him to the neighbourhood of Spitalfields, where be left him in a public-house for half an hour. On returning, he said he could not get the coin, because the " deliveries" only took place at certain hours in the day. The witness was crosaexamined by the prisoner, but his evidence was not at all shaken, and some other evidence was adduced to corroborate his testimony. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and it was stated he had been known for some months to have been connected with utterers of bees coin. TheCouimon-Serjeant sentenced him to eighteen months' Lai labour. Thomas Phillips, 20, labourer, wss indicted for • robbery with violence on Joseph Budfield. Mr. Douglas conducted the prosecution, and the prisoner was undefended. I It appeared that on the 13th of December, the prottecu ter, who had then only recently recovered from an illness, Ives walking along Weston-street, in the neighbourhood el Pentouville, at twelve at night, when he was attacked by five or six men, and struck to the ground by a violent blow on the face. He got up and seised hold of one of the men, but was again knocked down and dragged about the ground, and its. Bd. was stolen from his trousers' pockets. Some further struggling took place, in the course of which he was struck by the prisoner, who wee the only one of the gang who was captured. The rimer was positively identified by the prosecutor, who dated that he was still suffering from the injuries which I Whom inflicted upon him. Some corroborative evidence having been given the jury returned a verdict of Guilty. The Common-Serjeaut said that if any of the men had used a weapon of any saki should certainly have passed a sentence of penal sede. As it was, the elms was • very serious one and the sentenc e of the court was that the prisoner be imprisoned for fifteen months and receive twenty strokes with the cat. THE POLICE COURT& THAMES. William Seallioit,pilot and mariner, aged 44 years, re siding at No. 9, Itschard-streM, Limehouse, was brought before Mr. Benson, charged with maliciously and wilfully breaking the iron plate or lid of • water meter and box in White-horse-street, Radcliff. Mr. John Conninghani, an officer of the Stepney Union, and also beadle of Batcliff, stated that on Saturday night, at half-pest 10 o'clock, be heard a loud hammering on the iron plate of the water meter in front of his house, and upon going out saw the prisoner with a large a nd heavy hammer breaking up the iron plate , which he ba d already divided into six or seven pieces. The prisoner immediately ran heck with the hammer to the person of whom he bor rowed it, and he took him into custodyHe understood the amount of damage done was 3/. Mr. Bailin, a sanitary inspector in the service of the Board of Works of the Limeliouse district, said the iron plat, of which be produced • specimen, wou l d cost 45e. to replace it, end that it had - been necessary to station watchmen at the spot day and night to prevent accidents to life and limb. A new Otte and kerhole would be laid down on Tuesday, and there would be three nights and two days watching to be paid for. The prisoner, in defence, said he had lived for many years, in the district, end was • respectible man. Re must oomplain of the smoothness of the iron pletes laid down by the engineer of the Liinehouse Board of Works. The one be broke up was so smooth and slippery that when he stepped upon it on Saturday night on his way home be was thrown heavily, and his head, back and arms were in jured. While smarting with pain be borrowed • sledge hammer and broke up the plate. He was very sorry for what he had done, and he hoped in awarding punishment the magistrate would consider the great provocation he received. Mr. Benson—From whom! The Prisoner—From the plats and its smoothness. Mr. Benson—That don't justify you in destroying pro perty. Supposing I had run spinet • lamp post, would that justify rue in knocking it down ? What are you? The Prisoner—A gasman. Igo to Cardiff and other places with ships. Mr. Benson risoner was • very foolish man, who ought to said the remeesn pt the smoothness of the plates to the Board of Weals, and not break them up. He tined him ls., and he most pay 45e. in addition for • new plate. The primmer ought to consider himself fortanst• he was not called upon to pay other expeusm. The money was immediately paid. A respeolablorlooking young man who gave the name of Robert Sleeve was planed in the dock charged with being on the premises of the Imperial Gas Works, Fulham, sup posed for an unlawful purpose. Joseph Fbld said he WU &watchmen at the Imperial Gas Works. On Saturday evening, at a quarter before six o'clock, he saw the pew seer passing between two pecutetere, inside the premise, which are enclosed by • wall and gates. He asked him where he was sing, when he answered that he wanted to find his way out. Witness then asked hint which way he had entered, when be replied that he did not know. He then took the prisoner to the °Moe,G w e he orreg* he 1118 detained. Mr. John Friskin assistant clerk at the works. said that lately It bad be en found necessary to place • number of watchmen about the premises and the last wit ness was one of them. He sopped the rinser, and according to his instructions be broug ht him to the :Ace. The prisoner was questioned, and at first said that he had • purport for begags.trgentisee, but it was best known tobimeelf, and that he went there for • lodging.

Very little wool has been sold, and pnces bare become less steady. Under a general conviction that the present rates of wool cannot be maintained there is no disposition to purchase beyond absolute wants. There has in worsted yarns beenaome more inquiry on the part of export merchants, brt the prices offered have been so much bellow spinners' quotations that no business bu resulted from it. The quietness previously noticed in the piece trade continues without any altetation. Home and Ame rican merchants buy very sparingly, mild the foreign houses do not operate to any extent. Heavy goods have of bite met with an improved demand, and the prices of this 1 clue of goods are slightly firmer.

THE MANCHESTER ROYAL EXCHANGE.— The Manchesteeßtchange is undergoing great alterations, with a view to very considerable enlargement. There are near upon 7,000 eubscribers that so rapidly has the number in creased of late years diat the building has income utteily inadelnate (though one of the largest in Europe of the de scription) to aocommodate the trading community anon. bling there to do business. At least the crowds assembling there on Tuesdays and Fridays (the principal market things ave been subjected to much diecomfort. Whilst were in this state, and the subscribers were subject to the dust and annoyance which is inseparable to pulling down old and rising up new masonry, the proprietors undertook to mire the subscriptions of country spinners and manufacturers from two to three guineas &year. These people only use the exchange on two drys a week, while town subscribers) who have the use of it every day, pay only three guineas. The country subscribers considering that this was an injustice have many of then seceded end taken as a new exchange the large room of the Free Trade Hal, and the first meeting there on Friday 'sat was so numerous as to give hopes to the committee of manage ment of a successful severance of the members of the cot ton trade from the heterogeneous mass who crowded the ' older institution, and which numbers gentlemen connected with machinery and the iron trade, builders, timber merchants, and men In the linen, silk, worsted, and many other trades. The secession did not take place till negotiations with the proprietors of the old exchange to compromise difficulties had failed ; but yesterday these gentlemenve way, and a notice, dated from " the Mae. ter's o ffi ce "was issued, stating that the directors had decided to postpone the advance of subscriptions, and hoped in March next to be able to place the now occupied as at Stock Exchange at the service of tom scribers. It remains to be seen whether this concession, though late, may not have the effect of healing these un fortunate difference between the proprietors and so large a body of subscribers to the exchange.
