BOCVEBIE mWed the mend reeding of the Pellagra of Colleges Declaration Bill, the object of winch is to relieve graduates of colleges who were eligible for fel lowships from mating a declaration that they conformed to the liturgy of the church of Ragland, under the Aot of Uniformity. Mr. MEATS was prepared to assist to regulations which would exempt laymen us univeritties from all tests, but thought there would be some conflict between the present measure and the Tests Abolitfoo (Oxford) Bill, as the latter would practically replace the particular obligation which this bill sought to rectos* Mr. SELWYN said it was not intended to oppose the second reading, but he gave notice that it would be opposed ors going into committee. The Jamaica Governtsient Bill was read a third time and passed, after a short disunion. The PrIDONS Helena's Annuity Bill and Prince Alfred'.

The polling commenced at 8 o'clock yesterday mooting, and at the opeaingof the two booths a large num ber of voters assembled. At 9 o'clock Mr. Denman had polled 79, and Sir John Hay 61. By the early trains parties came from all parte of the country, and as the supporters of each candidate were pretty evenly balanced the excitement in the town was iMense. It was averred that several honest electors bad been droned the previous night—certainly some were nowhere to be found when sought after by the party to whom they were pledged. All the hands of Mr. Emory's silk factory had a holiday. At noon the numbers stood—Denman, 187 ; Hay, 153. To add to the excitement, large blue placards wereposted about the town, " Earl Russell and his cabinet have resigned." This, however, was considered to be a ruse of the camerae. tire party, and it was generally disbelieved. Sir John Hay received the telegram from the Exeter Oaxtfe. The excite ment was continued to the ohms of the poll. During the day Mr. Denman received the following telegram from the Hon. Mr. Brand, of the Treasury :—" No truth in the rumour ; no foandetion whatever for the article in to-day's Timer." At three o'clock the numbers were—Denman, 229 ; Hay, 184. Close of the poll—Denman (liberal), 232 ; Hay (coeservative), 186. Shortly after four the Mayor made the official declaration of the poll as follows : —Den man, 232 ; Hay, 186 ; majority for Denman, 46. Bir J. Bay moved, and Mr. Denman seconded a vote of thanks to the mayor. Several conservative' did not vote, !lading their came falling. SUNDERLAND. The contest between Mr. 13. Fenwick, the govern ment candidate, and Mr. Candlish, the advanced liberal, simply because it was one of personal prestige, was fought oat at Sunderland yesterday with great bitterness. Except cm the questious of the game laws and church endow. meats, there was very little (Macaw° in the political views of the respective candidates. The question involved was simply the conduct of the Whigs at the general election, on which occasion the advanced liberals al lege they betrayed their candidate, and broke up the liberal compact. And yesterday the strewth of each party was determined, as the conservatives as a party took no active part in the contest. The ipoWng oommenced at 8 o'clock, and throughout the day was very spirited. After 12 o'clock, Candlish continued to bold a majo rity. At the dose the numbers were :—Candlisb, 1,430 ; Fenwick, 1,296. The contest wu carried on through a 011638 of snow storms, but the interest never flagged. The number of votes is said to be se large as was ever polled in the borough. ASYLUM TOR IDIOTS. Last evening the anniversary festival of this institution was celebrated at the London Tavern, liishoca te-strest, under the presidency of Lord Dufferie, Mr. Alderman and Sheriff Alabama, Mr. Pim, M.P.. Mr. Leveson Gower, M.P., and many other gentlemen who have long been known for their advocacy of the claims of this very deserving charity. It appeared from a statement put forth on the occasion that there are now more than 430 inmates in the asylum, and everything that kindness and science could suggest is employed to ameliorate their position. All of them may be said to have shown a capability of improvement, and several of them have berm taught to work at a trade, so as to be partially able to mac tabi themselves. At each half-yearly election there are generally from 150 to 170 applicants, of whom the board can usually elect but 30. The asylum is now full, and the directors are anxious to enlarge it, in order that it may be capable of receiving 800 inmates. The list of sob scriptions announced amounted to 2,2001. PROVIDENT CLERKS' BENEVOLENT FUND.—The twenty-fifth annual meeting of the members and friends of this fond wee held last evening at the Londoa Tavern; Mr. J. A. Smith, M.P., in the chair. Thos accounts showed that the receipts for the year had been 2,8791. lla. 3d., while the expenditure had been 2,0271. 1.. 7d., leaving a balance of 8521. 9s. Bd l The report stated that an election too, pla63 oa the 25th of May, when the following were elected:—Three :81 SOL each, seven widows to annuities of 201., and two widows to annuities of 151. each. Two annuitants had died daring the year, and one bad re-married, and the board now re eomwended that eight additional annuitants bs elected, viz., two clerk' and sit widows of clerks. The sum of 1761.3+. bad been distributed in gratuities daring the post year. The board intended to celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the fond by a public dinner, and Mr. Craw ford. M.P., had kindly consented to preside on the war Woo. The claims of the fund on the mercantile community were so strong that it was with the fullest confidence the hoard appealed for assigtanoe, which the constantly increasing shims on the fund had rendered necessary. KING% COLLIDE HOSPITAL—The annual court of the governors of this hospital was held yesterday in the board-room of the institution ' • the Rev. Mr. Jolt, the prin cipal, in the chair. The repo rt showed that the number of patients admitted into the hospital daring the past year had Peen 1,900, being as increase of 116 over those of the preceding year. The number of out-patients had been 35,792. During the year 168 women had been confined in the Nightnale Maternity Ward. and the anmber of mid wifery cases attended at the patients' own homes amounted to 773. The total receipts (excluding legacies above 1001. and a sum of 8001. borrowed from the bankers) amounted to 7,8341. 138. 3d., while the expenditure had beset 9,1451.195. CRYSTAL PALACE AND Solna LONDON Jrlseriolt Itaitiver.—Tho seventh half-yearly general meeting of this company was held at the Vietoria-station yesterday ; Sir C. P. Roney in the chair. The chairman moved the adoption of the report, the substance of which has already appeared ID oar columns. Mr. Sinclair asked if the line was now paying expenses? Sir Morton Pete said the line was origin ally projected to accommodate only the traffic of the Loa don, Chatham, sad Dover Railway, but it was thought proper . to make an arrangement with the South Pastern as giving much better access to the City. The traffic of the Great Northern, the Metropolitan, and probably the South Western Railways, would also be brought over the Crystal Palace line. These arrangement*, however, could not be carried out, nor the gnat on the line properly developed until the junction with the South Eastern was completed, but their ultimate future would be more secured than if the original proposal only bad been carried out. In sower to Mr. Sinclair, the chairman said the guinea meson tickets had not bee; disadvantageous to the company. Sir M. Peto thought it would be better for railways generally if they adopted a large-minded policy. If a man had a season ticket he would ',vocally be aocompanied by his wife and family. The report was then approved of. The retiring director s were re-elected, cod the proceeding' closed with a vote of thanks to the chairman. TVITENIIA3I AND HAMPSTEAD JUNCTION RAIL WAY.—The half-yearly meeting was held yesterday at the offices, 2, Westminster Chambers ; Captain Arrow in the chair. Mr. Roan, the secretary, read the report of the di rector', which stated that the wet weather during the win ter has materially retarded the works on the line, and will occasion some delay in the opening of the railway. The enormous increase in the value of land, especially in the neighbourhood of London, ban entailed upon the compose y • large and unlooksd for expenditure. To meet this addi tional outlay a bill is now before parliament to authorise an increase in the capital of the company. This hill also oon tains provisions enabling thy Midland and Great Eastern Railway Companies to subscribe two-thirds of such addi- I tional capital, and powers to those companies, either by lease or by pa:ohne, to acquire the entire undertaking of the company. These two oomnanies have already exercised the powers conferred upon them by the Tottenham and Hampstead Junction Railway Act, 1865, the Midland to the full extent of those powers, viz.. 1113,3001. ; and the Goat Eastern to the extent of 83,3001., leaving 20,0001. still to be subscribed. The report was adopted, and Mr. Outbid, acting director, and Mr. Morgan, acting auditor. were reelected. The meeting having been made sperrial, it was resolved—" That tbe &rectors be empowered to borrow on mortgage the following sums, or any part thereof, viz., the sum of 16,6001., pursuant to the act of 1863, and the sum of 33,3001., pursuant to the not of 1864."

LOADON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER RAILWAY. The 26th half-yearly meeting wee held yesterday at the Grosvenor Hotel ; Lord Swims in the chair. The report of the directors, which has already appeared in our was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving its adoption, remarked that it must be considered satisfactory. It showed that the traffic; was coesiderably increasing. The number of passengers carried daring the past half-year was 5,123.000, or 759,374 more than in the corresponding period of 1864. In a short dins they would hays their. own independent stations at Ludgate and Victoria, so that their traffic would not be impeded as at present by the traffic of other companies. The report of air 0. Fos, the engineer, informed them that the bridge would be completed and the works ready to re ceive the traffic at Victoria on the lab of June, and the works or. the Metropolitan Bitension would, he believed, be finished and ready for baffle in March. As they were informed in the report, there was a project before parlia ment for making a line from the London, Chatham, and Dover, at Beckenham, to Lewes and Brighton, which. if car ried out, mast necessarily bring a large amount of addi tional traffic both upon their main line and the Metropolitan Extension. (Hear, hear.) Lord HAMS seconded the motion. After some remarks from various shareholders, Mr. FOR3IIB, in answer to several question., said that arrangements' were now being made for the coal and goods traffic from the Great Northern, and en the pre vious day for the first time they parsed goods from the Great Northern on to their line, the first train, enrioesly enough, being composed in part of six or seven tracks of goods consigned to the South Eastern Company, at Beckenham. (Hear, hear.) He had that moment received a telegram from Colonel Zelland, stating that be had inspected and passed the additional line laid down between Loughborough.roed and the Elephant and Castle, which was the first step towards the completion of the works necessary to develop the traffic. They most not expect too mach this half-year. It would be, be imagined, not before the beginning of the second half-year qt: the Trucks were completed that they could 0 . 24,Ws to realise the reratt! leticl?Stioch Sir MORTON Pero stated that the works for widening the line could only be commenced in November, consequently they bad not made very great progress. The Victoria-bridge would be finished within 14 months from the WM menennat, and when all these works were dons, they would be able to run trains at three or five minutes inter vals, Instead of ea now at 25 minutes intervals. Mr. Reararnoe expressed himself satisfied with Mr. Foebes'explanatioos, and after some further discussion, the report mse unanhnously adopted, the retiring directors and auditors were re-elected, and a vote of thanks to the chairman, and directors coaelnded the proceedings.

His Roeki, misses, in °poising the woosedinge. observed that as the object of this meeting was not to enable gentle men to make long speeches, but to discuss questions of practical utility, and to make such arrangements for the next gathering on the field as might seem desirable, he would not detain them by any lengthy remarks. He must, however, briefly explain to them that, taking all things into consideration, the condition and prospects of the asso ciation had not deteriorated since their last meeting. At the same time, it was but right that he should state freshly that the last Wimbledon meeting, though suaceathul, was not so propitious in a pecuniary point of view as in the pre ceding year. But there were two good reasons for this state of things. In the year 1864 the weather was everything that could be wished ;in the year 1855 it was not so. The seeoed reason was that in the latter year a general election was proceeding at the seine time es the meeting at Wimble don, and the consequence was that many persons were taken away from the field who felt an interest in the subject, but who had more important matters to attend to than la com petition in rifle shooting. It would therefore be seen that there were good grounds for saying that the comparative pecuniary failure of the meeting M 1865 was not because the interest in the art of rifle-shooting had depressed, but because there were opposing circumstances which naturally produced • less satisfactory result. But still the result was decidedly satisfactory. As regarded their finances he was happy to say that their funded property amounted to 7,6621., and there was every pros pact that the association would continue to flourish as it was flourishing at the present moment. He wee glad to find that it was intended to adopt a prize open to all Gemara, but more especially to members of the Belgian Rifle Aso:dation, because many of our countrymen were very warmly received in Belgium last year, and it would show a want of good feeling co their pad if they did not do what they could to reciprocate that welcome. This allusion to the Belgian association reminded him that it had been thought that foreign rifle societies should be com pared with the English society. Now it should be borne is mind that the foreign escalations bad not only the moral support of the State, as our own doubtless m e= but also the pecun ia ry dipped, which the association had not. He thought it was de sirable that in our country such • society should be self-supporting, and he did not think it neces sary that they should receive from government more than the moral support at present accorded to them. He was happy to see that they fhad received another donation from Sir William Martin, who had already mesa nearly 4001. to the association; and it was intended that • " Martin Prize " should be shot for at the next meeting by the marksmen of the United Kingdom. As regarded the place of meeting this year, be might announce that it would be the same locality as was chosen last year ; and he might take this opportunity of observing that if there were corps who would wish the day of inspection to be combined with the review day, every facility would be afforded them for that purpose ; bat he did hope that the various corps would arrive on the field in good time, as it was most essential that their meeting • should be useful to the volunteers, ea well as attractive to the public. It was impossible that such • result as was de sirable should accrue from the mooting if the corps did not appear in good time ; for it would be recollected that on the last occasion the marching wt did not take place until it was nearly dark, a fact which was, of course, disadvantageous to the association. Hs was sorry to learn that they were to lass the services of Cap tain Page as the general manager at Wimbledon, but it was satisfactory to know that he was to be succeeded by Cap tain Cretin, Adjutant of the Liverpool Rifle Brigade. He bad been given to understand that there was an intention to move an amendment to some of the names to be pro posed as members of the council. If such should be the case he trusted that any question that might arias would be discussed fairly and dispeasioeately, and to the general advantage of the saeociation as anything that might tend to lessen the harmony which had always existed amongst them would be greatly detrimental to their interests. It was most desirable that they should keep up that good feeling which bad happily prevailed in their association from the period of its formation, and which had always distinguished the proceedings at these animal meetings. (Hear, hear.) The adoption of the repent of the council having been I formally moved and seceded. A long dissuades took place, in the course of which much time was occupied with the expression of various opinions upon points of technical detail. Amongst other things brought forward wu an objection raised by Mr. bier deer, that the expenses were too large in proportion to the receipts. Out of 15,0001, received last year they had spent 8,0001., and he thought that in future the sepses°s of the Wimbledon meeting ought to be cur tailed. The noblemen and gentlemen who addressed the meeting included Mr. Templer, Colonel Hattori, Lord Cowper, Captain M'Gregor, Lord Bury, lee., the last meationed member of the association drawing attention to a statement which ared in the report of the council regarding a correspondence between them and the Birming ham Small Arms Company. This year, in giving the cus tomary notice to gunmakers, • reprint from • cancelled copy of last year's rules was accidentally issued. In this reprint the oondidon was unintentionally omitted that of the 60 rifles required to be furnished by the successful competitor, 30 only would be purchased. The omission was not discovered until the return of the conditions by the then intending competitors, with an intimation of their ais• cepteas of them. The condition referred to had always been in force from the first institution of the annual rifle trial in 1860, and the secretary immediately wrote to the throe competitors who had entered, via, Mr. Rigby, Mr. Henry, and the Birming ham Small Arms Company, pointing out the mistake, enclosing • correct copy of the rale, i ssued last year, and as this year intended to be boned: as and requesting them to signify their acquiescence in it. Mr. Rigby and Mr. Henry did this without a moment's hesitation. The Birmingham Small Arms Company declined to do so, and held the council to the copy of the rules which had been accidentally sent them. The possible loss to the association and to the prize list from this transaction may amount to no less • sum than 6001., and the council expressed their regret that an oversight in the office should have placed the association in this position. This revelation respecting the conduct of the Small Arms Company Lord Bury characterised ea exhibiting a mode of proceeding which deserved the reprehension of those who considered the volunteer movement from a pa triotic point of view. Ultimately the report was adopted, and afterwards, on the motion of Lord la.asovica, the vice-presidents were re elected, with thanks. Other routine business, including the re-election of mem bers of council, was successively gone through, and the meeting separated with • cordial vote of thanks to the chairman. &mu Allow° Colones Mrithots.—At the East Caradon and Marks Valley Nines, on Monday, three pitches at each mine were ref used by the men, and Cherie" offered not being increased, the whole of the men at both mines turned out on strike and have not resumed work. At Drake Walla Mine, on Saturday, work having been re fused to men connected with the newly formed society, the men in a body refused to work, and having caught one of their number who bad expressed his willing ness to go below, rode him on a rail through Gunnislake. For this legal proceedings will be taken. The managers of the whole of the mines in the Taviateck district and some in the Liskeard district have signed a resolution, not to employ men belonging to the society. The move ment on either side is becoming a very important and formidable one ; but we defer further statements and coin. meats until we have had opportunities of ascertaining to which side, if not to both, justice belengs— Western Meriting News. THE Frssimr Movithrserr.—The Irish papers con tinue to report arrests throughout the country of persona oc suspicion of being concerned in the Fenian movement. Toesday's Dublin Gristle offers 100/. reward for such information as will lead to the arrest of Geary, who fired on the head-000etable in Newcastle. The Gazette also contain proolamatione calling in ems and ammunition in the places proclaimed on the 23rd. These Mande Belfast and Galway and the citinties Westmeath, Down, Longford, and King's and Queen's Counties. A soldier of the 21th, who deserted with severs! rounds of ammunition from his poet, on guard at the Royal barracks a month mince, was arrested on Tues day. Mr. Justine Fitzgerald, in charging the grand jury at the opening of the Letitia assizes on Tuesday, congratulated them on the satisfactory state of the county, and expressed his pleasure at the readiness with which the gentlemen on the grand jury and on the loag panel came forward to per form their publics duty on the present occasion, observing that it was a wholesome sign, for, although the county was to • large extent free from Fenianiam, yet we lived in a time when it was incumbent on country gentlemen to show a determination sot akin to perform their duties, but to lend their aid to the executive in arresting the program of disorder. At the Fermanagh anion on Tuesday, a men named William Blake was convicted of ribboniam, and sen tenced to five years' peas! servitude.

'COURT OF COMMON.PLEA.S.—Fra..2B. EiTtgngs at Nisi Prins in London.—(Before Lord Chief Judos Erie and a Ooinnion Jam) FELTON V. SEAN._ This was action to recover damages for slander, and also for an assault. Mr. T. Salter and Mr. Thomas appeared for the plaintiff ; and Ma M. Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Murphy for the de fendant. The plaintiff was the proprietor of the Thicket Tavern, Anerley, and on the afternoon of the 9th September last he went into the °Moe of the enwintendent in the South Eastern station, at London-bri, and asked if there were any letterefor him, and if his monthly time-bill was ready. Mr. Cavely, the chief clerk, addressed the plaintiff by name, and upon the defendant hearing the name, he said, " Yon are Mr. Felton ; you are a thief, a swindler, and a rogue." The plaintilLeid he did not know kim. The de fondant repeated the words, sad also took out his purse, shook it in hie face, and said that if he wanted any money he could take it out of that. The plaintiff replied, that if he owed any money, and were told what it was, be would pay, and added, that if the action with the purse were re tasted, he would knock the purse out of the defendant's band. ft waallrepeated, and the puree touched his face, whereupon the plaintiff drew back and kicked ft out of the defendant's hand. The plaintiff said he would have no disturbanoe in the office. and turned to go down four iron stops leading from the office, when the defendant rushed at him, struck him, and he fell down the steps . He was cut and bruised by the fall, and was picked up insensible. He was stood up, and whilst he was leaning in this state the defendant struck him again. The plaintiff was afterwards told that he had struck the defendant, but he had no recol lection of it. His bruises were dressed by a doctor the same evening, and a few days afterwards the plaintiff was directed to wear a truss, and be had worn it ever since• The medical evidence was that the plaiatiff had two or three scalp wounds which had been bleeding, and • severe contused wound over the eye. Upon examination it was found that there had been conensnon of the retina ; and it was believed that the Off • was now not so good • one as the other. The rapture was probably caused by the assault, and the plaintiff would most likely have to wear • trues as long as he lived. Mr. hL Chambers contended that even if the rupture were thought to have been canoed by the assault, it could not be recovered for upon this declaration. He also said that only one ainealt was declared upon, whereas two were proved, and therefore the plaintiff must elect which he would proceed on. The lord Chief Justice said that the points could, if issoesary, be raised hereafter, but the matter mast go to the jury. The defendant's else was that the dispute moos out of an affair relating to a Derby sweep, in which the defendant bad paid sa. for a share. In consequence of sonie blunder in the drawing the ss. was returned, but it cost thedefen• dent 2e. 6d. for • messenger to fetch it. That on the occasion the plaintiff himself was insulting and violent in his behaviour and language, and when be licked the rues from the defendant's hand a sovereign rolled from it down the steps. The defendant followed to pick up the coin, when the plaintiff seised hold et him, and a struggle ensued, and they fell together. The jury, after hearing evidence on both ides, found far the plaintiff—damages 401. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. 2& (Before the Judge Ordinary.) =UMW N. BII.GLw, PAW, AND OTHILIIB (PART KRAIIa Bir J. Wilde said that after having examined several hundred specimens of the countess's handwriting, be was satisfied that she was in the habit of writing very differently at different times. Since the legislature had allowed the jury to judge of specimens of handwriting, evidence on this subject, except perhaps that of experts, was not very ma teriel. He might, however, point out that the "g" in the words " or deed of gift," at the top of the will, was unlike any other he had been able to fi nd. Mr. Edward Dove, a cashier of the London Joint Stock Bank, where the countess kept an account, wee of opinion that the eignature was not the countess's. Would not have paid without inquiry a cheque signed like the will, or like two of the notes puced. Mr. R. Gurney Barclay, the manager of the bank, also agreed that he should not have paid mosey on such a sig nature. The words "or deed of gift" were more like the countess's handwriting. Cron-eanmined—lt was very like it. Had doubted sig natures which had proved to be genuine. Would not have paid a cheque on the signature of one of the notes produced, but would upon that of the other. The doubt ful signatures were more laboured than the comities's °anal style. The bank's standard of handwriting was their signature book, and it was no discredit on the cheque of a customer to be sent back. Re-examined—Should say that the words "or deed of gift " were not in the conalossa's hand. Mr. William Merton, of the Admiralty, was also called, and gave similar evide nce. Mr. Chabot, an expert, said he had been employed by Mr. Jenning, defendant's proctor, to examine the will, and he thought that the signature was not genuine. Was con vinced that the signature of "E. Elimmoilds," the second attesting witness, bad been written by the same hand as had copied the body of the will. The dot of the "i " was not a mere dot, but a small lozenge or square, with a little ' tail. It occurred also in the body of the will, and indi cated the peculiar touch and feeling of the writer. In fact, he had never seen a dot like it before. There were other circumstances which had brought him to the rme conclu sion. The husband of the attesting witness Simmonds, her son, and daughter were examined, and they expressed a strong opinion that the alleged signature was not really hers. Three letters written by her were produced for comparison. Mr. Chabot, recalled, confirmed their view of the matter, and said that, with no materials for forming a judgment be hond what were furnished b y . the will itself, he should ma esitetingly pronoun° e the;ingnature of Simmonds to be • forgery. Mr. Chabot was very severely cross-examiried„ but he held to the opinions he had given. Mr. O'Malley then summed up the car for the plaintiff, and pointed out that if the testatrix had evergiven Mrs. Obese a post-obit bond for 5001., as recited in the will, it would hare been produced, whereas he had called for it in vain. _ _ .

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME ClRClllT.—Hassross, Frs. 28. The oomodesion of assizes for the county of Rertfo was opened yesterday ia this town by the Lord Ohief Bares. There are a lugs number of persons for trial, but most of the offeuces charged are of a very trivial character, sad such as would under ordinary drcumernor have been disposed of at the quarter serious. As, however, the jos. tices have not thought fit to bold an adjourned session for that purpose, they will have to be tried at these assizes. The ruse list will not be published until this (Thiusday) morning, and it is enured that the court business will not begin until 12 o'clock. OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Rraprifo, Fn. 28. (Before Baron Pigott.) Jo& Morris, dies &waders. alias Dwyer, aged 49, me indicted for feloniously and without lawful excuse Nag at Wee (before the expiration of his sentence of 20 years' transportation) within the United Kingdom of Greet Bri tain and Ireland, viz., at Reading, on the 28th of June last Mr. R. Hariogton was counsel for the prosecution. and Mr. Peter appeared foe the prisoner. From the evidence it appesred that the prisoner was tried at the Bedford Lint Assizes, in 1854, in the name of Saunders, oa the charge of having committed a bar. glary at Leighton Burned, and stolen 100 watches, chains, and keys, .M 0 knives and forks, and other property. He was convicted, end sentenced to transportation for 20 years. He was removed from Bedford Gaol to Milbank, and sent from there to Norfolk Island to undergo his punishment. In the month of June last the prisoner and two others were apprehended in Reading for housebreak ing, and all of them were convicted at a sessions mhos quently held for the borough. At that time he was sus pected of being a returned convict, and inquiries were in stituted by direction of the Treasury. Mr. Roberts, the governor of Bedford Gaol was sent to heading to see all the prisoners, with the view of ascertaining whether he could recognise either of them as being a man who was sentenced to transportation in 1854. Mr. Roberts proceeded from cell to cell, end when he saw the prisoner he identified him as the man who was tried at Bedford twelve yesn ago for burglary. He asked him hie ;= and the reply was " Williams." When Mr. Roberts in how long that had been the case the prisoner said ' some time." Mr. Roberta afterwards remarked that he was going to swear at the snipes that he was the John Saunders convicted of burglary in 1854. and then advanced towards him to unfasten his shirt to see certain peculiar masks on his breast. The prisoner evidenVy convinced that there was no mistake with reaped to him, said, "It's all right I know you, and the officer too." Hs added that he received a pardon from the governor of the island, and that in coming home the ship was lost, and his papers were conse quently lost. In Memo, Mr. Pater stated that it was known that there was a system of ticket-of-leave, and there could have been no difficulty in the Treasury showing that the hadnot received such a ticket. Be was instructed fO i rey rthat the prisoner was transported to Australia ; whilst there he received a pardon from the governor, which fact was communicated to the authorities in this country. After receiving_ the pardon he left the colony and went to Singapore. He next took ship with • view to ristate Gape of Good Hope, but the captain put in at St. and his papers were lost. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and Baron Pigott sentenced him to twelve months' imprisonment, and them to penal servitude for the term of his natural life. The prisoner observed that the Home-office well knew that be received a pardon, and he expected that a clerk would have been present to have proved it. The learned Judge said if it were so, them was no doubt *Sift would be done to him. (Before Mr. Julio. Smith.) Masse Wades Bernherd Kirchhoff, a Prussian, aged 37, was brought up for arraignment on the charge of having attempted to discharge • loaded revolver with intent to kill and murder Superintendent Purchase, of the Reading police fame, on the 28th of December last. At the time of the prisoner being taken into custody be was considered to be of unsound mind. When brought into wart he behaved in • annoy way, and would not take off his hat. Mr. Maurice, surgeon, and Mr. Ferry, governor of Reading gad, were examined as to the prisocer's sanity, and they both expressed their opinion that he was deranged in mind, sad was not capable of knowing what was going on. Mr. Justice Smith thereupon directed him to be detained until her Maiass te plessure should be known respecting him. His lords hip informed the jury he bad received • coin neunication from Prussian embassy that inquiries bad been made in Prude respecting the prisoner, and it had been ascertained that he had been in a mad-house there. The prisoner, on leaving the dock, ran down the steps, and sat up a maniacal laugh. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (Before Baron Bramwell.) Jame* Lifers, 23, Thomas Corr, 23, Thomas Dickson, 32, Charles Topper, 23 , Philip P illage, 21 , and Joseph Matthews, 24, a Bosnian'. all of whom were described as sailors, were charged with feloniously and p i r otian tioalil making a revolt on beard a BriMsh ship called the By another count in the indictment the prisoners were charged with attempting to commit the same offence. Mr. Poland and Mr. Beasley conducted the prosecution Mr. Ribton and Mr. Beaky defended Liffen, Carr, and Matthews, and the other prisoners were undefended. The circumstances of this case have been so frequently given in the polies report*, and the inquiry has taken else° so recently, that it will be unnecessary to give the evidence of the witnesses in detail The change was fully made out, but it was also proved that the conduct of the captain had been very bad ; and some of the witnesses said they would rather die than mil with him again. Baron Bramwell then addressed the jury, and said he was bound to tell them that, in his opinion, the prisoners bad committed an Illegal act in taking 'possession of the vessel, and that although they had undoubtedly received a good deal of provocation, it was not of a character to exonerate them ; there was, however, a difference in some of their cases, and two or them, Matthews and Tupper, appeared to have really had very little hand in the affair. The jury almost immediately returned a verdict of Not Guilty as regarded those two prisoners, and found the other four Guilty, but recommended them to mercy, and at the same time expressed their opinion that the conduct of the captain had been very bad to them. Baron Bramwell, addressing the prisoners, who had been convicted, said that the jury could not do otherwise than find themsuilty, because the evidence had clearly brought them within the scope of the act of parliament as having been guilty of a revolt on board this ship. Their offence, however, was about as hemlines one as could be imagined. for they had not attempted to commit any violence and plunder the ship, and their only object appeared to be to escape from the violence with which they were threatened, and they seemed to have acted as they considered in self defence. If they were not to be punished at all, ft might be thought that they bad not committed any offence, and, therefore, he felt called upon to inflict some punishment upon them, but taking into consideration that they had already been sixteen weeks in prison, the sentence upon Liffen, Carr, and Dickson would be that they be km. prisoned for one week, and with regard to Pillage, be should order him to be discharged upon his entering into his own recognisance in the sum of 51. to appear and re ceive judgment if he should be called upon. When the sentence was pronounced there was a burst of applause from the persons in the murk (Before the Deputy Recorder.) John Permeman, 33, surgeon, was indicted for feloni ously endeavouring to obtain a large sum of money, to wit, 1751., by means of a forged transfer of shares in the Hesenbeagle Minis. in the county of Cornwsl', ant with utheriog the aid transfer, wall knowing the same to be forged. The prisoner was given in charge to the jury oa this indictment. Mr. Metcalfe and Mr. Daly (instructed by Mr. Wontner, sm.) appeared for the prosecution ; and Mr. Serjeant Bel kntioe (specially retained) and Mr. F. H. Lewis (instructed by Messes. Lewis, of Ely-place) defended the prisoner. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty. The prisoner, who had maintained great self-possession during the whole of the protracted proceedings, on hearing the verdict burst into tears, and was painfully affected. The Deputy-Recorder, in passing sentence, observed that be bad no desire to aggravate the painful position in which the prisoner stood by any okervatimus. the more so as it was a most painful task to him (the Deputy-Recorder) to have to pus sentence on a meson of the prisoner's previous character and position. That character and position was, however, an aggravation of the offence of which he bad been found guilty, and the sentence was that he be kept in penal servitude for seven years. There were three other indictment against the prisoner for actually obtaining £Ol5l. by similar forged Menders. THE SHOOTING CASE AT PADDINGTON.-At the Mary lebone Police-court yesterday Joseph Ward, a boat. man on the Regent'scanid, wee brought up for re-email. nation os the *barge of shooting a lad named Liffey, on the Lock-bridge, Harrlw-road. It may be remembered that the prisoner was having a quarrel with his wife in the boat, and the none attracted the attention of some persons who were going over the bridge. This seemed to enrage the prisoner the more, and he went into his eablo, from which be fetched arm and fired, the shot taking effect upon the face of the lad. His fans was completely riddled with shot ; one eye was lying on his cheek and had to be re moved. Him eight is completely goes, sad he Is in s very precarious state.
