THE DEFEAT OF THE GOVERNMENT. PUBLIC OPINION IN BIRMINGHAM. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) BIRMINGHAM, Tuasyst ArrzallooN. The committee of the Birmingham Liberal Asso ciation, at a large meeting held this day, has strongly recommended Ministers to dissolve rather than resign. The meeting adjourned to 8 o'clock, to consider the arrangements for a town meeting, and other measures to support the government. ART UNIONS. REPORT OF A PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEE. This morning was issued the report of a parlia mentary committee appointed to inquire into the operation of the Art Union Laws. The tendency of these unions, they state, has been to foster the love of chance and specu lation rather than to encourage high art, and the moral effect of some of them has been proved by the concurrent testimony of many witnesses to be very bad. The amount of assistance rendered to artists is very small indeed, and as Art Unions must adapt themselves to the taste of the uninstructed public, they cannot in the nature of things cultivate a truly good style of art.. The shilling Art Unions allow easily of frauds, and are the source of great evils. The committee consider that the administration of the Art Union laws should be placed under the charg e of the department of science and art of the Privy Council, and for the purpose of checking abuses they think the following regulations might with advantage be adopted : " An Art Union should be entitled to receive subscrip tions, make a distribution, or carry an any other opera tion, only while it has, as members of its committee of management, six or more persons whose names, addresses, and occupations shall have been approved by the Depart. ment of Science and Art, together with a cer tificate, under their own hands, of their intention to act as members of such committee, and who shall not have signified to the Department of Science and Art in writing under their own hands, their intention to cease to act as members of such committee. No distribution of articles of any kind, or allotment of money, as prizes in any Art Union, should be made, except in accordance with a report or scheme in writing or in print, drawn up with reference to the particular distribution or allotment, and signed by not less than six members of the committee of management ; such report or scheme being in accord ance with the regulations of the Art Union, and approved. Within three calendar months after each distribution or allotment by any Art Union there should be inserted in a general newspaper, published in, or in the neighbour. hood of the place where such distribution or allotment took place, a statement, specifying the following par ticulars:-1. Thenameof the Art Union. 2. The namesand addresses of all members of its committee of management at thetimeof such distribution or allotment. 3. The headoffioe. 4. The lowest amount of subscription. 5. The aggregate amount of all the receipts from subscriptions or donations. 6. The aggregate amount of money allotted and actually paid for objects distributed. 7. The name of each winner of a prize, with the number and description of the objects distributed to or selected by him, and the amount paid for each such object. And also the number and coat of any works of art distributed to all subscribers. 8. The amount paid, or to be paid, for the expenses of the Art Union out of the receipts included in the statement. 9. The amount of any surplus from such receipts, and the manner in which it is intended to be applied. And within one week after publication of such statement a copy of the newspaper in which it is contained should be sent to the department of science and art, with a letter referring thereto, and certifying the correctness of the particular s set forth in the statement ; such letter to be signed by not less than three members of the committee of management. In the case of any departure from or non-compliance with the order and regulations of an art union, which have been approved by the department of science and art, or the con ditions attached to the approval of that department, it should have authority to declare its approval to have become null as from a specified time ; and therefore the act for legislating art unions, 9 and 10 Viet. c. 48, should be deemed not to have ap plied to that association after the time so specified. Every person taking part in the management of an Art Union, who Phan authorise or permit any such departure or non-compliance, should be liable to a penalty, to be re coverable in a proceeding instituted under the direction of the Department of Science and Art. The returns above mentioned should be annually laid before both houses of parliament, and a precis of the same shall form part of the annual report from the Department of Science and Art." Last night Major Dickson gave notice that on Thursday he should ask the Secretary of State for War if it is the intention of her Majesty's govern meat, taking into consideration the disturbed state of the Continent, at once to increase the strength of the army and to embody a portion of the militia, so as to place the country in a position to maintain the national honour if unfortunately we should be compelled to assume a hostile attitude during the impending European struggle. _ _ . . The bill promoted jointly by the South-Eastern Railway Company and the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company for an independent lino to Brighton, affording access to all the city and west end termini in London of those two companies, and to the centre of Brighton, has passed through committee of the House of Commons. The bill has been in committee for four weeks, but it is understood that the case proved by the promoters if the bill for a second line was so complete as to cause the decision to be unanimous. The partial suspension of payment by the Stafford branch of the National Bank Association is an. Flounced. Deposits under 51. will be repaid in full at once, mid it is expected that larger depositors will eventually receive the full amount of their claims. The shareholders will sustain the whole loss. A letter appears in the Manchester Examiner of to-day from Mr. M. W. Moscrop, who was sentenced to twenty years' penal servitude at the winter assizes in that city fora criminal assault, and who, after an imprison ment of six months, has received an unconditional pardon. Although Mr. Moscrop's defence was not successful, some doubt of his guilt appears to have been entertained by the judge as well as by the jury, ten of whom signed the petition to the Queen for his release. i • 1 Our total receipts of wheat from Germany dur in; the first four months of the present year have been only 616,994 cw i., out of an aggregate of foreign importa tion of 7,183,408 cwt., being about 84 per cent. In the rune four months of last year, when our aggregate im- Portations from all parts were very small, the amount being only 2,572,521 cwt., Germany contributed nearly the sam e as in the present year, and her relative propos. lion of the whole was then about 22 per cent. In the int four months of 1864 the total of foreign receipts vas 7441,307 cwt., or nearly as large as this year, and the supply from Germany was then 2,150,954 cwt., nearly one-third of the whole.

After term Nisi Prins aiding' at Westminster.—(Before the Lord Chief Justice and Special Juries.) HAWKE.% V. YOUNG. . . . . This was an action for libel. The defendant pleaded not guily. Mr t . Karslake, Q.C., Mr. J. A. Russell, and Mr. C. Grove were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., and Mr. Matthew were counsel for the defendant. .. . The plaintiff is an attorney in Lincoln's-inn-fields, and the defendant is a clergyman in Oxfordshire. The plaintiff had been appointed solicitor to the trustees of a settlement in which the defendant was interested, and it necessarily involved their acting for him in some of his private affairs. Afterwards Messrs. Birch and Ingram were appointed solicitors to the trustees, and the libel complained of was contained in a letter written by the defendant to them. Before the learned counsel had concluded his opening statement, The Lord Chief Justice asked whether the parties could not satisfactorily come to terms. Mr. Coleridge said he had felt all along that the defen dant had acted improperly, and he had advised him to retract and apologise, and that he was then ready to do. The apology was accordingly accepted, with a verdict for the plaintiff for 405., which in libel cases carries emits. KETTLE W. YOUNG. This was also an action for libel, arising out of the same circumstances, the plaintiff in this case being one of the trustees, and whose conduct had been libelled by the de fendant in the same letter as that complained of by Mr. Hawke' in the above case. An apology was also accepted, with a verdict for the plaintiff for 40s. In the third case a verdict was taken by consent, and in the last case in the day's list two special jurymen only appearing, and neither party prayed a tales, the record was withdrawn, and the matters in dispute referred to Mr. Geo. Denman, Q.C. Tilt SPECIAL JURY SYSTEM. Several special jurymen called his lordship's attention to thefact that many of them had been served with three or four summonses on the same day, and said it might be an erroneous impression, but there was a belief that gentle men were served with so many summonses at the same time by the summoning officers, in the hope that they would be feed. The Lord Chief Justice said he was aware that that im pression was gaining ground, but he was told that could not be the case, because the special juries were struck by the attorneys on both sides in the Under Sheriff's office, and the summoning . officers had only to serve the sum monses which were given to them. The system was a very bad one, and should be altered. A juryman said he was only summoned on Saturday night at 8 o'clock for Monday. The Lord Chief Justice said that was now becoming the practice. In three cases out of four the special juries were summoned at the latest possible hoar. He wished the members of the bar who were also members of the legisla ture would consider the matter, and devise a remedy. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. - - - Sittings at Nisi Prius in Middlesex.—(Before Lord Chief Justice Erie anti a Special Jury.) HANKINS AND OTHERS V. WEST. The plaintiffs in this case were iron founders, in business at Liverpool and in London ; and the defendant, Lieut.- Colonel West, was the owner of the Surrey Theatre. Soon after the theatre was burnt in Feb., 186.3, steps were taken to rebuild it, and Mr. Ellis was employed as architect. Orders were given by him for iron work which was supplied by the plaintiffs to the amount of 2,6881. 13s. Of this sum 1,5001. has been paid, and the present action was to recover the balance. Mr. G. Denman, Q.C., and Mr. Hutton appeared for the and Mr. Prentice for the defendant. In the course of the case some discussion took place between the learned counsel, in the course of which it was stated that one of the principal questions was whether Mr. Ellis had authority to order the goods upon the credit of Colonel %Vest. In addition to this there was also a ques tion of amount. Under those circumstances an arrangement was come to that the whole matter should be referred to arbitration. THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) CLERKNIVELL. A SKITTLE SHARPER CHARGED WITH STEALING 3151. Jahn Hard man Fawley, aged 5.1, who described himself as a jeweller, residing at 51, Rookham-street, New North road, was charged before Mr. D'Eyncourt with being con cerned with others not in custody in stealing 315 f., the property of Mr. Silver Sylvester, farmer, of Kittleow, Norfolk, and of Colney Hatch. Mr. Ricketts, solicitor, defended. From the evidence of police-sergeant Evans, 22 G, and police-constable Short, 77 G, two altive officers, it appeared that the prisoner was a well-known skittle sharper, not only in London, but at Liverpool and Dublin. The prosecutor was passing through the City, when he was met by the prisoner, and after some conversation, he was in duced to enter a tavern, and have something to drink. Whilst there a man came in, and said lie had had a lut a money left him, remarked that he was a very strong man, and made a bet with the prisoner that he could throw a weight a very long distance. After some conversation the prosecutor was induced to go to the Mortimer Arms pub lic-house, Mortimer-road, Kingslauld, to see fair, and when there, instead of throwing a weight, skittle playing was introduced and betting begun. The prosecutor went to the City in a cab, accompanied by the prisoner, and changed a cheque fur 3151., returned to the above public-house, and there had the whole of his money taken from him, the prisoner and his companions decamping. This took place more than 12 months since, and the prisoner has been out of the way until he was ap prehended at a brothel at Bookham-street, Holton. When taken he denied any knowledge of the transaction, and said the prosecutor must be mistaken. The prosecutor did not attend to-day, and it was stated that he had received a portion of his money back. Mr. D'Eyncourt discharged the prisoner, and told him that if he was brought here again on a similar charge he would certainly send him for trial. DEATH OF SIR W. M. T. FARQUHAR, BART. We regret to announce the death of Sir Walter Minto Townsend Farquhar, Bart., M.P. for Hertford, which occurred yesterday afternoon, at the family residence in Berkeley-street, Berkeley-square. It will be remembered that Sir Walter was taken with sudden illness in the House of Commons, about a fortnight ago. as it was sup posed at the time from congestion of the brain. The hon. baronet was a conservative in politics. SHOCKING SUICIDE OF A LADY AT GREENWICH. —Mr. C. J. Cartter, coroner, held an inquiry yesterday afternoon, at the Greenwich Union, into the circumstances attending the death of Mrs. Frances Henderson, aged 52, a lady of independent property, of 2V, Vauxhall-bridge road, Pimlico, who was found dead, with her throat cut. It appeared that the deceased left home on the morning of Saturday, the 9th inst., for the purpose of calling upon various tradesmen, and ordering goods for the house, but she was never seen after that time. A. few evenings since Miss Wheeler, a young lady, resident at Greenwich, was walking through her father's grounds, known as " The Woodlands," and in a secluded spot her attention was attracted to a frog, and on looking down and along the , she saw what she took to be the body of a Ole, the face only being just visible. Having called assistance, a man went to the spot, and there found the deceased sitting on sloping ground, with her feet ' against a tree to prevent her from slipping, and with her throat cut, the windpipe being completely severed. In her right hand the deceased groped tightly a pocket-knife, with which the injury had been inflicted, and in her pos session were also found four phials,which had all contained laudanum, and a tumbler, perfectly clean and dry. Mr. Cogan, surgeon, who was brought to the deceased, gave it as his opinion that life had been extinct four or five days. To have reached the spot the deceased had to crow a field and get over a fence ; and before committing suicide she took off her bonnet and lace shawl, and placed a handker chief in her lap. The handkerchief was found to be filled with blood, while the upper portion of the dress was very slightly soiled. No trace of poison was found in the body, though deceased had purchased laudanum at three druggists' shops at Greenwich. Evidence was given to show that she had exhibited a strangeness of manner of late, and her medical attendant added that the knife found in the hand of the deceased was one she prized as the only thing she had ever found. The jury returned • verdict That the deceased committed suicide while labouring under temporary derangement." A CABINET IN DANGER.—A letter from Madri d , In the Indepeudance Bibs, speaks of a plot to which the ministers of the Queen of Spain had nearly fallen victims. They had been to Aran)uez to be present at a council, and were to return to Madrid towards midnight. After the last train from Alioant had passed, at half-past 10, the guard posted not far from the river Jarama perceived some per sons loitering near the line. Suspecting something wrong, after a short delay he repaired to the spot and found the rails encumbered in • manner calculated to produce an socident of the most disastrous nature. At a certain point of the line overlooking the river, just where there was a sudden turn, a large block of unwrought iron had been placed on the left hand rail, and another of less height on the right, both at an acute angle, so that a train coming on at speed would run a great chance of being tilted over into the river. The obstacles were of course immediately removed, and the ministers passed in safety and knew nothing of the danger they had escaped till they were informed of it by the directors of the railway. An inquiry has been instituted. A Sea monster has been caught in Bateman's Bay It resembles • huge turtle, having four large flippers. It is covered with • bony shield extending from one ex tremity to the other, bread and bard at the anterior part, and graduating with softer consistency to • point at the posterior end.

The half-yearly meeting of proprietors was held cc at 1 o'clock, at the London Tavern ; Mr. T. N. FaitQuiLia at in the chair. la The report, which was published some time ago, having 10 been taken as read, 10 The CHAIRMAN moved its adoption. He observed that 10 the report and accounts showed that the working this 1C year was so far satisfactory. The expenses had during 1 the winter half-year generally exceeded the receipts, but si the difference had been gradually disappearing, and in the 2j last half-year the result was better than it had ever been si before. There was no reason to doubt that the next meet- 91 big would show a satisfactory dividend. As regarded the al Rockhills property, he might observe that the late Sir t Joseph Paxton resided there up to the end of his life, having the use of the house rent free ; and that was a great advantage to the company as the deceased maintained a constant oversight of the grounds. The state of things . was, however, now changed. He then entered into a statement the effect of which was that 2,5001. had been paid to Sir Joseph Paxton's representatives for building expenses in curred by him at Rockhills ; and that 500/. had been paid for some further items of outlay, the result being that the company were now the sole owners of the property. Since Sir Joseph Paxton's death the house hail been occupied by the general manager, an arrangement which hail proved advantageous to the company, and a resolution had been passed by the board that a house should bo occupied permanently by the general manager. Mr. 11 Bowley's health required that he should reside on the spot. Plans had been drawn up for the erection of a new f, building as a residence for the general manager, at a cost of 3,5001., the late residence of Sir Joseph Paxton being retained as a place of exhibition, in which light it had, with the grounds attached td it, already proved a great attraction to visitors. Mr. 130.uxus thought that Mr. Howley should continue to occupy the residence of the late Sir Joseph Paxton. He objected on principle to the company's providing an official residence for the manager. In reply to a question, The CHAIRMAN stated that the arrangement made for the remuneration of Mr. Bowley, the general manager, was that he should receive a fixed salary of 900/. per annum and '2 per cent. on thedividend, and the result was that he had received on the average 1,3.10/, a year. After some discussion the report was adopted. SOUTH AUSTRALIAN RAAKINO COMPANY. (THIS DAY.) This afternoon the annual meeting of the above company was held at 54, Old Broad-street ; Mr. J. B. WHITE in the chair. The report stated that during theyast year the bank has transacted an increased business. hew branches have been established at Victor Harbour and Mount Pleasant, the former having agencies at Port Elliot and Goolwa. These have been found necessary either to meet the increasing demands of trade or to protect the operations of the bank elsewhere conducted, and the branch esta blishments in general show remunerative results. The com mittee recommend a dividend of 10 per cent. per annum free of income tax, payable as heretofore, on the 15th July and 15th January next. The report was adopted. MINES.-(THIS DAY.)

British railways and foreign bonds have also given way in several cases. The chief movements in the latter are is Turkish of 1862 and Italian of 1861. American securities and banking and financial shares are inactive, but London Financial exhibit a recovery of 10e. The arrivals of gold from New York continue upon a large scale, the Aleppo having brought 382,0001. It is hoped that the influx from various quarters will be quite sufficient to meet the present active demand for bullion for exportation to the Continent. The demand for money to-day is moderate, and the supply good. The rate for choice bills is 9} per cent. Console are now quoted 84 to ex div., for money, and 86i t.) ; for the account (July 10).

About 50,000(. in bar gold was sent into the Bank yostonlay, in addition to 20,000 sovereigns from the Medit• rranean.

The supply here is limited. Mexican dollars are unchanged, at ss. oga. Owing to the coat iieucemen of war on the Con tinent, the transactions in wax risks at Lloyd's have been upon an increased scale during the last few days.
