IMPERIAL PARLIAMEN T. HOUSE OF LORDS.—'I , ., Day, A c.. 1 sT 12. 1N the HOUSE of Luxus yesterday, the royal assent was given by commission to a e..:mber of bills. On the order of the day for considering the Com mons' amendments to the Lords' amendments in the Representation of the People i The Earl of DERBY, in stating the views of the government in reference to them, said he should confine himself to the three principal amendments made by their lordships, to one of which the House of Commons had assented, while rejecting the other two. The amendment that in three-cornered constituencies every elector should have two votes only was assented to by the almost unanimous vote of tho House of Commons. He was not himself favourable to three-cornered constituencies ; they were a novelty at the time of the passing of the Reform► Act in 1832, and he doubted the de sirability of extending them in order to give effect to the principle of the re presentation of minorities. He reminded their lordships that of the counties now returning three members, there were only three—Bucks, Bells, and Oxfordshire—which returned three members who were all of the same political opinions. The noble earl then criticised severely the reasons assigned by the Commons for di ing with th.• amendments raising the leasehold said cupyhold qualification for counties from 5/. to 30/., and for striking out the clause enabling the electors to vote by means of voting papers. The amendments had, however, been carried by large majorities in a full house, and at this period of the session he did not flatter himself that if their lord ships were to insist upon their amendments there would be the slightest prospect of inducing the House of Commons to alter their view. And he had still loss reliance upon the result of a confer ence ,between the two houses, where the principal business was for the Lords to sit with their cocked hats on, and the Commons to stand before them. With regard to voting by voting papers he believed the principle was sound, and that they would ultimately see it carried into effect. As the Commons had introduced nothing objectionable into the bill, and had simply deprived the measure of an adjunct which he thought would have been valuable, he did not think it worth while for their lordships to insist on their amendments, and he moved a resolution to that effect. The Marquis of SALISBURY believed that at the last general election a considerable number of electors were prevented from recording their votes in consequence of the violence and intimidation which prevailed, and that the adoption of voting deference a to papers would pr e en a t p h such e peal state Lord teof things, but uti i n made to him he would not insist upon his amend :sent. Earl STANHOPR concurred in the advice which the Earl of Derby had given, but e.cprcased his deep regret at the course which He House of Commons had taken. The Earl of OLANCARTY thought the Earl of Derby and the Chancellor of the Exchequer were entitled to the highest credit for the manner in which they had paned the bill in the face of a powerful opposition. He believed the bill would be • boon to the country, and it had the advan tage of being based upon a legitimate and intelli gible principle. . . The Earl of HAIM/WHY assented to the motion. He regretted the rejection of the voting paper clause, but he congratulated their lordship; on the reception by the House of Commons of their pro position for the representation of minorities. He punted out, however, that the present position of the government—being, as they were, in a con siderable minority in the House of Commons—was a most unenviable one, and might, if carried too far, be productive of much inconvenience, if not absolute danger. Earl &imam. expressed his agreement with the course which the House of Commons had taken in reference to their lordships' amendments, and stated the strong objections which he personally entertained to the voting paper system. The Marquis of Wserregars complained of the violence and intimidation which characterise the Irish elections, which voting papers, he thought, would prevent. The motion was then agreed to. The Canongate Annuli; Tax (Edinburgh) Bill, the Poor-law Board, &c., Bill, the Banna of Matri mony Bill, the Guarantee of Government Officers Bill, and the Public Health (Scotland) Bill, were read a third time and passed. In reply to the Earl of CARNARVON, The Duke of Bucxmouse( stated that the Aus tralian colonies were of opinion that the present postal communication was not sufficient, and had made proposals for a more complete system, which were now under examination. Several bills were forwarded a stage, and the bowie adjourned at a quarter to 8 o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS. —MONDAY, Auousr 12. IN the HOUSE of Commerce, on the motion that the house fro into committee on the Indian bud get, Mr. AYRTON moved a series of resolutions , affirming that it is desirable that the Governor- General of India be empowered to conduct the business of each department of government in concert with one or more members of his council instead of the whole council ; that in order to en sure better attention to the affairs of trade and agriculture en additional member of council be ap pointed to superintend those affairs ; that the government of Bengal be placed on the same foot sng as that of Bombay ; that one nominated and one elected member of the council of the Secretary of State for India should cease to hold office in rotation at the end of each year ; that the exist ing practice of recording by resolution of this house certain financial facts relating to India be discontinued, and thatthe estimates for all expen diture in Europe of the Secretary of State for India be approved by the house before the same is in curred. These resolutions he enforced in a speech of some length, in which he pointed out the de fects of the present system. Mr. K I N NAIRD seconded, and said with regard to the famine in Orissa he did not think the govern ment at home were blameless, for there was a com pany in existence which had for its object the con struction of irrigation works in that district several years before the famine occurred, but they could not proceed with the works on account of the little enconragoineat given to them by the government. Sir S. Neerneors hoped the house would not be led into a generai discussion on the many subjects involved is these resolutions, but that they should proceed to the main business of the evenin, which was the Indian budget. With regard to the mem bers' of the council, the practice was already in ac cordance with that which the hon. member recom mended, each member being charged with a sepa rate department. He admitted, however, that there were questions with regard to the council which deserved consideration. The question of re tirement of the members of the Council of the Secretary State would soon receive a solution, the members being allowed to retire on a pension after ten .yeareserviee, which had not yet expired. He did not think the house should vote the esti mates of the expenditure in this country on Indian account, but he admitted that the amounts ought to ho brought more under the direct supervision of the house, and he proposed to introduce certain alterations in them in order to effect that object. Mr. LAI roi was not disposed to deny that there were defects in our system of government in India, for the recent occurrences in Orissa were a proof of that, but on the whole that system had been a splendid success. Since the mutiny property in India had risen 25 per cent. in value, and wages bad risen in proportion, and the commerce of the country had reached • figure unparalleled in the history of that country. lie believed that we were only at the commencement of the era of improve ment in India. The railway system in that country ho looked upon as a great success. The govern ment of India he thought should be a persona guvernmetd. The discussion was continued by Mr. H. Sey mour, who contrasted our system with that of Russia, which he considered the better, sad which would be preferred by the people in India; by Lord Cranborne, who attributed many of the defects observable in the administration of India to the system of centralisation ; by Mr. J. S. Mill, who pointed out that the governors in India, when first seat from this country, were necessarily for a timedependent ontheir council ; and by Mr. J. B. Smith, who complained of the systematic re fusal of the government to give any assistance in promoting the growth of cotton in India. The resolutions were then withdrawn, the house went into committee, and Sir S. NORTHCOTE proceeded to make the annual statement of the finances of India. The actual ac counts they had received were for the year ended the 30th April, 1866, but it was not necessary for him to make a statement as to them, because the time was so long past that the interest of them had passed away. With regard to 1866-7 the receipts were estimated at 46,725,0001., and the expenditure at 46,800,0001. It was diffi cult to compare the actual results with those of the year preceding, because the year 1866-7 was curtailed of one month, with the object of bringing the Indian budget sooner before parlia ment. But the general result was unsatisfactory, because whereas they had estimated a deficit of 75,0001., the actual deficit was nearly 2,400,0001. This he attributed to a deficit of revenue from opium of 052,000/., of 40,0001. on the receipts front the Mint, and of 324,0001. from the failure of of the land aalesin Bombay, and to an increased pay ment in respect of railways to the amount of 400,000/. , land to an item of about 580,0001. for transports. It would be asked whether it was possible to reduce the expenditure, and he did not think it possible to bring about any great reduction. The guarantee on railways was gradually decreasing. The interest on the debt in the United Kingdom was 37 per cent. of the revenue • in India it was 11 per cent. The debt had increas ed since the mutiny, but not at so great a rate as the revenue. The expendi ture on public works in England was one per cent. on the revenue ; in India it was 12 per cent. There had been many serious difficulties about carrying on irrigation works, bat this matter was now put on a better footing both in Madras and Bombay, and also in Scinde and the North West Provinces, and there was no fear now that these works would lag. It had been determined to borrow 700,0001. to carry on irrigation works, and to advance 1,000,000/. to Bombay, to be repaid by the sales of land, and to k advance 520,0001. to Calcutta for the purpose of executing the waterworks for that city, and which would also be repaid. For these purposes it was proposed to borrow a little more than two millions. Excluding these items, the expenditure for the ensuing year was calculated at 47,340,0001., and the revenue at 46,283,0001., showing a deficiency 1,057,000/. To meet this Mr. Massey proposed to levy a license tax which he calculated would pro duce 500,0001., leaving a deficiency still to be provided of 557,0001., which he pro posed to transfer to the loan raised for the remodelling of barracks. The license tax was very unpopular, and application had been made to hint to veto it ; but he had declined to do so, though he did not approve of the incidence of the tax ; but he thought he saw in it a means by which local government might to some extent be carried on, and the general govern ment be to some extent de-centralised. With re gard to the income, it was estimated that there would be an increase of 200,0001. in the land re venue In regard to customs, a considerable change had taken place, there being now only 65 classes of articles which were charged, all others being admitted free of duty, and there were only nine articles on which an export duty was charged. These charges had caused a loss to the revenue of 140,0001., and to make this up an additional anna per maund had been charged on grain. It was not a heavy charge, but he regretted that it had been impoaed. The salt-tax was estimated to yield an increase of 500,0001., and stamps 500,0001. but the receipts for public works were estimated to fall short of those of last year by about 500,0001. The right hon, gentleman concluded by moving certain formal resolutions. Mr. Casa - roan expressed his strong disapproval of the imposition of export duties, and Mr. Lance condemned the license tax. The discussion was cootinued by Mr. M‘LsiteN and Mr. BAZLEY, after which the resolutions were agreed to. A message was received from the Lords stating that their lordships did not disagree with the Com mons' Amendments, with two exceptions ; and, on the motion of the CUANCZLLOR of the EXCHZQUZR, a resolution was agreed to declaring that the Com mons did not insist upon their own view in those particulars. was made in committee on the Conte,- gio P u r Ns s e s ases (Animals) Bill, and the other orders having been disposed of, the house adjourned at 5 minutes to 3 o'clock. CONdieWrION yr CHURCIIYARDB BILL.—The following statement respecting this bill, which stands for committee at this afternoon's sitting of the House of Com mons, has been issued :—The object of the bill is to facilitate thmenlargement of churchyards, by diminishing the legal formalities, and consequent expense, of oonsecra tion, • purpose to which dissenters do not object, pro vided that the bill is so amended as to prevent a great in justice being done to them. Under the modern burial acts it is obligatory on burial boards, unless the rate payers unanimously determine otherwise, to divide a burial ground " into consecrated and unconsecrated parts, in such proportions, and the unconsecrated part thereof shall be allotted in such manner, and in such portions, as may be sanctioned by one of her Majesty's principal Secretaries of State." In virtue of this enactment, dia meters have, in those places in which parochial cemeteries have been provided, secured the right of availing them selves of the services of their own ministers in the inter ment of the dead; and the practical working of the system has been most satisfactory. But, as the adoption of the burial acts is not compulsory, it frequently happens that those who object to the liberal spirit in which they are framed oppose the appoint ment of a burial board, and the establishment of a ceme tery, and, on the ground of economy, insist on the en largement of the existing churchyard ; and where those who adopt this course are in a majority, they have it in their power to defeat the intentions of the legislature b perpetuating the disability which exists in connexion with burials in consecrated churchyards. The adoption of the bill in its present shape will facilitate the action of those who aim at that object, since it will tend to promote the extension of churchyards at the expense of dissenters, in common with churchmen, without securing to the former the right which they possess in connexion with cemete teries provided ,under the burial acts. To meet this objection it is proposed to insert the following clause : " When any land is added to an existing church yard a portion of such land shall be allotted for burials otherwise than in accordance with the rites of the Church of England, and the amount and situation of such uncotuiecrated portion shall be deter . . mined b the vestry of the parish, subject to the approval of one o ther Majesty's principal Secretaries of State." By this provision the object of the promoters of the bill, so far as diminishing the expenses of consecration is con cerned, will be seemed ; whilo the additions made to churchyards will be placed on the same equitable footing as land appropriated for parochial cemeteries. It should be added, that it is the rural parishes which will be chiefly a ff ected by the bill, and that it is in those parishes that dissenters suffer most from refusals on the part of the clergy—sometimes legal and sometimes otherwise—to bury the dead in aocordanoe with the rites of the Church of England. The scandal arising from such refusals would be greatly diminished if, in unconsecrated ground added to churchyards, other ministers than those of that church were entitled to officiate. PRINTERS' ORPHAN ASYLUM. —At the second elec tion, held at Anderton's Hotel yesterday, two orphan chi!. dire were placed upon the funds of this young but excellent institution. The Printers' Orphan Asylum was established in December, 1814, with the object of provid ing maintenance and education for the children of deceased pnnters Frederick George Bailey, aged seven years, was elected with a majority of 235 votes, and Emma Caroline Hume, aged ten years, was placed upon the funds without election, in consequence of the forethought and provi dence of her father, who was an early subscriber to the institution. _ _ i 3 ITENT OFFICE MUSEUM, Sou KENNINGTON.— Number of Adams for the week ending August 10, 2,641 total number mime the opening of the Museum, free daily, (May 12, 1838), 1,168,149.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT.—CaornoN, Arrousr 12. (Before Mr. Baron Martin and Special Juries.) unpin r. URAVI.S.-TELi SAKI r. BLUNDERS. These were actions upon marine policies to recover from the underwriters ►t Lloyds the amount of various policies of insurance effected upon a vessel called the Lizzie. in the autumn of 1864. Mr. C. Pollock, Q.C., and Mr. Watkin Williams were for the plaintiff ; Sir G. Honymaa, Q.C., and Mr. Matthew were for the defendants. TimToPlaintiff in thl action I; a Spanish merchant in London' and Havannah, and the vessel in question sailed to South America and other places in the spring of 1t64. She was insured with different parties to :be ex tent of between 10,0001. and 12,0001., and was eventually abandoned on her voyage home to England. The freight and vessel were claimed for as a total loss. The claim was resisted almost entirely upon technical grounds, the defendants pleadinf that the vessel had not been properly described as a British ship, and that certain matters had been concealed from them, which would have induced them not to undertake the risk. The jury eventually returned a verdict for the plain tiff in both actions, but leave was given to the defendants to move the court upon the points of law involved in the inquiry. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—MAYCHESTER. Auo. 12. Nisz Paws Courr.—(Before Chief Justice Bovill.) Besucras 07 THE ASBIZIM This court was occupied up to about two o'clock in try ing the cause (by a special jury) of Faulkner v. Wylde and others, an action to recorc: the value of two horses which had been drowned in the river Mersey in consequence, as was alleged, of the negligence of the defeadante. Tho case was opened on Friday afternoon, Mr. James, Q.C., and Mr. Crompton conducting the ease for the plaintiff, and Mr. Temple, Q.C., and Mr. Holker for the defendants. It was alleged that plaintiff's horses were drawing • boat from Runcorn to Manchester, and in passing Hollins green they stumbled over a rope by which the defendants had moored • boat, and fell into the river. At two o'clock the jury retired, and had not given the verdict when our report left. Chief Justice Bovill said he would take any abort cause or causes that could be got through during the day, and the remainder (about 15 out of 79) must stand over as remaneta. At an earlier period of the mixes be had inti mated the possibility of sitting a portion of Tuesday, and of taking the remainder at Liverpool. He now found that it was necessary, both for the conduct of the assize busi ness at Liverpool and for the convenience of the bar, to go to Liverpool to-morrow morning. He did not say that he could not sit an hour or so in the morning to finish any case that might be urgent, and which was part tried to-day, but it would be un desirable to prolong his stay beyond that. He should have) to preside in the Crown Court at Liverpool, and he found there was a very heavy calendar there, containing no less than eight eases of murder. Then, with regard to taking the remaneta at Liverpool, and so pro l ong ing the arises inde fi nitely he felt there was an insu perable diffi culty, for one of the judges would be detain ed in London until be could go and relieve him. He saw nothing for it, therefore, but that these causes moat stand over till the next assizes. Caovat Couirr.—(Before Mr. Justice M. Smith.) CONSPIRACT TO DIC7IIAUD. James Smethurst, 38, Robert Fletcher, 46, Thomas Cross awaits, 29, and John Croasthwaite, 33, were indicted for unlawfully and wickedly conspiring, combining, and con federating together by divers false pretences and subtle devices, falsely and frandently to obtain 5001.-worth of yarn, the property of Henry Roberts and others. Mr. Higgin, Mr. Hopwood, and Mr. Edwards were for the pro- secution. Mr. Jones defended James Croasthwaite, Mr. Costing ham defended Smethurst, and the other two prisoners were undefended. _ The evidence went to show that the prisoners opened a place of business in Ridgefield, Manchester, and then pro eeeded to hire three separate cotton mills from different owners, with the alleged purpose of manufacturing cloth. After this they had gone to yarn agents, and made bar- gains with them after the custom of the trade, to the effect that if such agents would sup ply them with twist they (the prisoners) would give them all the cloth made from it to sell, so as to cover all liability. In one case, however, where yarn value 3301., was supplied they only retuned 301. worth of cloth, and it was afterwards found. they bad gone to a bill discounter and obtained advances on the yarn im mediately it had been supplied to them, the discounter selling the goods and paying them the balance, less the charge for discount and commission. Altogether they bad obtained six skips of yarn and two barrels of oil, and sold them in this way, value 5001.. besides failing to pay the rent of the cotton mills. The case was not over when our report left. THE POLICE COURT& Yesterday Mr. Partridge presided for the last time at this court; and in the evening, on the close of the budneu, an address was presented to him by Mr. Charles Young, on the part of the solicitors attending the court. Mr. Partridge, in reply, said, "114 r. Young and gentle men, this kind expression of feeling towards me has taken me quite by surprise, ani is very gratifying indeed. I have received universal kindness and consideration from all classes having business at this court. I have become much attached to the Thames police-court, and have been transferred to the Southwark police-court at my own re- Treat, bemuse the business there is generally very much like what it is here, with this exception, that it is much lighter. I found the continued strain on my attention, and the heavy nature of the business here, was detrimental to my health, and was more than I could bear. That alone induced me to seek a change. I have to notice with much gratification the good feeling of my learned colleague, Mr. Paget, with whom I have always been on the most friendly terms, and introducing you to my successor Mr. Benson, from what I know of him when we were on circuit together, I am sure he is all that can be desired. In the administration of the law I always endea voured to act on the grand old principle of tempering jus. tics with mercy. I have not forgotten the maxim I learnt at school, ' primo tom us; and have endeavoured to act on that principle, and to make a distinction between an o ff ender charged for the Curet time and the hardened and habitual criminal. I have to return my best thanks to the solicitors who have practised before me. My rela tions with them, and without compromising our independ ence in the slightest degree, have always been of the mod friendly character. A more able and intelligent body of practitioners than those I see before me are not to be found at any other police-court in the me tropolis. I have also to thank the clerks and officers of the court for their able cooperation ; bat I wish to notice more especially the valuable services of Mr. Livingstone, the chief usher, not only for his advice and assistance in points of practice and precedency and the general administration of business, but for the important aid he has afforded in the distribution of the poor-box fund. I have only now to take leave of you, gentlemen. and to thank you most sincerely for your kindness. I will not say good-bye, because I shall have occasionally, no doubt, to exchange duties with other magistrates. I shall always have a very pleasant recollection of the happy days I have spent among you in this court. In the new duties I have undertaken I shall carry with me your good wishes, and I beg leave most heartily to reciprocate your kindness." NEW RROULATION AT THE JUDORS . CHAMBERS.— Yesterday, on the commencement of the " long vacation," • new regulation was made as to the attendance of judges. Mr. Baron Bramwell disposed of • number of summonses, and will sit today (Tuesday). There will be no judge in attendance till Friday, and after that day no judge will be /resent till Tuesday, the 20th inst. THE CHIEF CLERICS IN CHANCERY.—To-day (Tuesday) Mr. Edwards, the chief clerk t o Vice-Chan cellor Malin, will take the summonses of the several courts of Chancery for the vacation judge ; and, according to the present arrangement, will attend on Tuesday and Friday in each week, until relieved by Mr. Buckley, the other chief clerk of Vice.Chanoellor Medina. EXTRAORDINARY OUTRAGE.—An atrocious crime was committed at Helper, Derbyshire, on Sunday morn. ing, by a young milkman named Spendlove. In th e course of his usual business he called at the house of the Rev. Mr. Lloyd, unitarian minister, and delivered the milk on the slab in the entrance-hall, Mrs. Tittertoa, aged 60, the housekeeper, being present. As soon as h e ba d emptied the milk into the basin he began to fumble in his side pockets. She asked him what he was doing. He made her no answer, but a moment afterwards drew a pistol from under his waist coat, took aim at the old lady, and fired. She fell on to the floor of the entrance-hall, the shot having penetrated through her stays into her left breast and left arm. As the family were from home at the time there was no one on the spot to raise an alarm. Spendlove I coolly went out of the house and walked across the street to the 'evidence of Mr. Brown, tailor and draper, where he delivered Nome milk in the passage and then hid the pistol under the door mat. He then went down King-street at a rapid pace, but afterwards returned to Mr. Brown's, removed the pistol from under the door mat, and again set off. He has not been seen mince. Some persons entered the house and found Mrs. Tit tenon lying in the entrance hall, bleeding from the wounds, and Mr. Johnston, surgeon, extracted the shot from her arm. He doss not anticipate any fatal results from the wounds, but the shook to the old lady's system is so great that she lies in • precarious state. Spendlove, after the outrage, took the road to Derby, and although the police were quickly on his track, up to noon yesterday he had not been takes. Not the slightest reason can be assigned for the perpetration of this foul outrage beyond the fact that for a year or two Spendlove has devoted his leisure hours to readinF " The Life of Dick Turpia," " Jack Sheppard," &c. He is 18 years old. - IHSTROPOLTAN Fail HOSPITAL, DSTONISIII/Z.

An extraordinary case (Benzing r. Moore and Carr) was tried before Chief Baron Kelly, on Saturday, at Chester. The action was nominally for libel, but the evidence revealed various grievances , the chief being an unpleasant hoax upon the plaintiff, who is a German, by some fellow students at St. Aidan's Theological College, Birkenhead. The defendant Moore is • solicitor and part proprietor of the Birkenhead Tints and the co-defendant CUT was a fellow student of the plaintiff's at St. Aiden's, who bad contributed the article complained of. Last year Mr. Benzins entered as • student in St. Aidan's College, and about the same period the Birkenhead Tina was started. A party of the college students, including Mr. Carr, were believed to be connected with the paper, and wit h this party the plaintiff came to be on unfriendly terms. In November he left the college and advertised in a Liverpool paper for a situation u tutor, receiving in reply a long letter purporting to come from a gentleman in Somersetshire, offering brim an eligible situation. The plaintiff went down and found that the letter was a hoax. On his return to Birkenhead an article describing the trick by which he had been victimised appeared in a Liverpool paper, and it was in answer to it that the libel complained of appeared . One of the passages constituting the alleged libel ran— •We are enabled to state that during his (the plaintiff's) residence in St. Aidan's, and subsequently thereto, be pursued a course of action which may be in accordance with the training of a German university, bat which is repugnant to all the accepted opinions about an English college. He has acted as a busybody, spy, and tattler, and has written letters all over the country inquiring as to the antecedents of his fellow - students . ' In another place the article stated, "He (the plaintiff) has sneaked about the collep, poison ing the minds of the students, and traducing DDrr Be. ' ylee to them, until at last he has been ordered not to come near the place except in the company of some responsible person. The last tune he visited the college lie called Dr. Baylee a liar, and conducted himself in such a violent manner that he was forcibly ejected from the hall by the porter." In another part of the article it was stated that when the plaintiff arrived in Somersetshire and disco , vered the hoax, "he had, according to his own account, but 41d. in his pocket. He was looked upon with suspi cion, and was ultimately accommodated at the paha* station, when the police showed him great attention during hie stay." , The plainti ff was examined and orcee-examined at eon siderable length, during which he said—l am • member of the University of Berlin where I have studied theology, and assisted the principa l in the preparation of • work on the " History of Protestantism." In September last I entered St. Aidan's College, Birkenhead, as • divinity student, with the intention of becoming a clergyman of the church of England. Whilst at St. Aldan's, I remember the Birkenhead Times being started. I know that some of the students at the college were contributors to that news paper ; and in consequence of the style of articles in which the paper indulged • petition was got up at the college to the printer of it, which I composed. The petition was sent to Dr. Bayles for approval, but he stopped it. Considerable ill-feeling existed be tween the authors of this petition and the students who were contributors to and proprietors of the paper. There were also differences between the two parties as to their church views. I left St. Aidan's last November because I disapproved of those articles contained in the Birkenhead Time", which I knew to emanate from the college. I thought the students ought to disown the paper, and when Dr. Baylee stopped the petition I determined to leave the college. Upon leaving I inserted an advertisement in one of the Liverpool newspapers applying for a situation as tutor, and amongst other answers received • letter offering a situation at Minehead, in Somersetshire. I went to Minehead, and found that the letter was • hoax. Hav in g run short of money I was obliged to stay there until I could write for some to my friends. Whilst at Minehead I made friends with the superintendent of polioe,andatayed at his house. I showed the letter I had received to the super intendent, and endeavoured to discover the authorship. The students in the college need to turn to the east and bend their knees when they entered the chapel. One of them I have seen use holy water in his room, and the de fendant Carr used to cross his hands and face. I remember when I cane back fremSomersetahire after thehou telling Dr. Bayles that I had heard there were students in his college who had been expelled from Richmond and Dida bury Wesleyan colleges. For the defence it was said the article complained of was justified by the plaintiff's conduct ; that Mr. Benzing had accused Dr. Bayles of falsehood; that he had brought va rious offensive charges against his fellow-students, and that he had acted generally as a busybody. A man named Mulholland, formerly porter at the col lege, speaking of an occasion when the plaintiff came to see Dr. Baylee, the principal, respecting the hoax, said—" As he was coming out I heard the plaintiff accuse the doctor of some falsehoods, whereupon the doctor told me to put him out. Plaintiff went to the door, but appeared to alter his mind, and was attempting to turn back, when I told him I wouldnot allow him. Thereupon plaintiff made a motion as if to strike me, upon which I caught him by the collar, put him out, and kicked him as he went." It. cross-examination this witness admitted that he had since been discharged from the college without a character.

A most alarming accident occurred on Saturday night on the Fleetwood, Preston, and West Riding Junc tion Railway—a small line recently purchased by the Lan cashire and Yorkshire and London and North Western Railway Companies. At about half-past eight at night an excursion train left Longridge for neaten, consisting of about 15 camages , filled with passengers. At Grimsargh the train was stained a considerable time, and on leaving the station, another passenger train, which had left Long- ridge about 17 minutes later, was noticed, perhaps, 100 yards in the rear. The excursion train, however, got away, and in due time arrived at the next station—rul wood—where the tickets had to be collected. Whilst this was being done, the second train, which had also to stop at Fulwood, came up. The engine drawing it was coming tender first, there being no turn-table at Longridge. Either the signal was notgiven at Fulwood, or no notice was taken of it, for the second train came up at the rate of about eight miles an hour, and dashed into the rear of the first. A great crash ensued, and a fearful scene took place. People were shouting, screaming, and moaning, and the comparative darkness prevailing, coupled with the fact that in some of the carriages there were no lights, mad* matters worse. Four or five of the end carriages of the first train were smashed ; one of them was nearly broken to pieces, one had the top smashed o ff , and the others were more or lass damaged. The passengers in the carriages were jammed together in painful confusion. Several per sons were knocked senseless, and many had to be lifted helpless out of the carriages. Numbers of the passengers were violently driven against each other, the result being out foreheads, swollen faces, and loose teeth. Immediately after the accident, the engine of the first train ran down to Preston for medical aid, and in a abort time Dr. Marshall arrived. Mr. Howitt, surgeon, afterwards rendered assistance, and other medical gentle men were at a subsequent period called in to some of the sufferers. Some most fearful reports reached Preston as to the accident, and much excitement prevailed amongst those who had heard exaggerated news. The real state of the case was, however, serious enough. The safferers most hurt were removed home in cabs. Between forty and fifty case* of injury have already come to the knowledge of the doctors ; and it is certain there are others not yet published. None of the persons hurt have had any bones broken. Nearly all of the injured are factory operatives who had been to • gala at Longridge. It was half-past four on Sunday morning before the line was cleared, and all the ngers removed. It is stated that there was no " tail ht" to the train which wee run into, and that it was de. • at Longridge, after some discussion amongst certain railway officials, to do without one, their impression, no doubt, being that the evening was light enough without it. A singular fatality occurred indirectly through the accident above detailed. A woman named Stopford, living in St. Paul's-square, Preston, hearing of the acci dent, and knowing that her daughter had gone to Longridge, became alarmed as to her safety. She made inquiries, and learned that she was not hurt ; but the ex citement was so great that the poor woman died on Sunday. NARROW ESCAPE OF LORD CAIRNS. —On Friday, Lord Cairns and family left Murthly Castle in a carriage and pair, accompanied by Mrs. Graham, wife of Mr. Gra ham, M.P. for Glasgow, for the purpose of enjoying a pic nic in the grounds of Stobhall. On reaching the entrance gate one of the horses took fright, shied, and brought the carriage into such violent contact with one of the gate that the carriage-pole broke, and the horses again dashed against one of the gate-poets. The coachman and one of the song of Lord Cairns, a youth about seven years. who had been seated beside the coachman, were forcibly thrown to the ground, where they lay insensible. Meanwhile, the horses, with the shattered vehicle and its frightened inmates, went off at a furious rate along the avenue. The avenue takes an abrupt turn, and Lord Cairns knew that unless this turn was taken the carriage would be dashed over a precipice of considerable height. He therefore with great presence of mind, and at considerable danger to himself, crept to the front of the carriage, and with the aid of hie umbrella got hold of the reins, and controlled the horses so far that the turn was taken with safety. The animals rushed on past Stobhall House and stables, and were rapidly nearing another precipice, when his lordship by a great effort succeeded in drawing them into a hedge, where the carriage . upset. Happily none of the party were seriously injured, although, of course, the ladies were much alarmed. The son of Lord Cairns has escaped serious injury; but he was much frightened, and his nervous system received • severe shock. The carriage was much damaged, and one of the horses so badly cut in the neck that it is not expected to survive.

(From the Chronicle.) Turkestan, the name generally used to designate the plateau of Central Asia between the Kirghiz hordes, Siberia, China, India, and Persia, is a geographical idea or somewhat vague extent. Eastern Turkestan bees itself in the least known regions of the Chinese empire, while the general character of Western Turkestan is determined by two considerable rivers, the Syr-Ditria (Jaxartes) and the Syr-Amoo (Oxus), which, swollen by a number of streams from the mountains of China, bring their waters by • north- I westernly curve into the Sea of Aral. To the south of the Kirghiz hordes lie the three countries of Bokbars, Khios, and Khokand. against which Russia commenced her ad vance. These countries about cover the geographical ides of Western Turkestan. Bothers, with its ancient capita. Samarkand, forms the centre of communication between the peoples of Turkestan and their neighbours. In the bazaar of Samarkand a motley group of Chinese, Persians, Armenians, Tartan, and Kirghiz Cossacks expose their stores of cotton and silk for sale, while the dty of Rokhara is not only the residence of the Khan, but also the Mecca of the sect of Islam in Central Asia, resorted to every year by thousands of faithful pilgrims. To the south-west of Bukhara, along the Amoo-Daria, lies the far more fruitful and prosperous country of the Khan of Khiva. Russia hadfor more than a century aid lonpng looks in this direction, and had again and again tried to pin • supremacy over the Khan by commercial or diplo matic negotiations. For 'Chive commands the high road to Persia and Afghanistan, which it is absolutely necessary to bold in order to secure a firm footing in Central Asia. Aftir the faders. however of Bekovitch's expedition against Khios., in the reign o Peter 1., Russia bad aban doned any warlike demonstration against a country pro tected by the deserts of the Kinghis hordes ; and it was only when these hordes themselves, encouraged by the im punity with which the Khivans attacked and plundered Russian caravans, began to refuse obedience to the Czar, whose tributaries they were, that it was considered ne cessary to set a terrible example. In 1839 the celebrated winter campaign of General Perovaki, Governor of Eastern Siberia, was organised, being intended at the same tiiiiesa a demonstration against Lord Altaic . land's expedition against Afghanistan. Before It had even reached the borders of Khiva, Perovski's army was destroyed by the severe weather of the steppes, and Pe rovski himself barely escaped to lead the remains of his expedition back to Orenburg. But even this did not turn the policy of Russia from its purpose.. While Perovski was drawing lines of wells across the K irghiz steppes, and protecting each one of them with a fort, to serve at the same time as a mrgazine, appnntly peaceable exploring parties under Nikiforov, Blanmberg, Daailevski, and others were roaming over the southern shores of the Sea of Aral, and the regions of the Lyr-Daria and Amoo-Dacia ; and Welikanov the son of • Kirghiz prince, forced his way into the hitherto unknown country of Chinese Tar tary, as far as Ksechger, its capital, • town of the same importance for the commerce of Control Asia as Kiachta is for Siberia, or Shanghai for Eastern China. These geographical expeditions, as they were called, seemed undertaken only in the cause of science ; but the peaceful savants were always accompanied by officers, who explored and surveyed the ground, and the results of whose labours were carefully compared, revised, and connected by staff officers at Orenburg. An accurate sketch of the country which it was proposed to annex was thus obtained. Meanwhile the wells and forts along the Kirghiz roads be came more and more numerous ; a small fleet ap ..tred on the Sea of Are' ; and the islanns which were discovered in it were occupied by Russian colonists. Soon after the year 1850 these preparations were completed, end Perovski was invested with unlimited powers, 22 Go vernor-General of Orenburg and Samara. Of the three Khanates mentioned as included in Western Turkestan, that of Khokand had always stood in the most peaceable relationship to its Russian neighbours. Khokand lies to the north of Bokhara, to the south of the Kirghiz hordes, and west of Chinese Tartary. It is traversed by the Syr- Darla, and its high state of cultivation, its prosperous cities of Taschkend, Khokand, and Khemkand, which transact the business of Khiva and Orenburg, as well as the less warlike disposition of its inhabitants, have made it wealthy, but at the same time an object of envy to its neighbours. It had often had to defend itself against the attacks of marauders from Bokhars, Khiva, and Tartary, and now its vicinity to Russia was to complete its ruin. The staff at Orenburg knew most about Khokand, because they had had opportunities of exploring it at leisure, in every direction. An excellent pretext for opening the expedition which had been got ready against the Manatee of Turkestan offered itself to General Perovski. In the year 1852 the Kirghizes, at the mouth of the Syr-Darla, complained to the commandante of the nearest Russian forts that their agricultural families were oppressed and their caravans exorbitantly taxed by the IJsbetka of Khokand. While the people of Khokand, having heard reports of Russia's warlike preparations, were allying themselves with the people of Khiva to avert the threatened danger, Perovski started from Orenburg in the spring of 1853. This time his army crossed the steppes rapidly and safely ; and Aralsk, on the Sea of Aral, was made the basis of opera tions, which in August resulted in the fall of the Kho. kand fortress of Ak Meedjid after a brave rundown. A pause was now made, while the country between Aralak and Ak Meadjid, • distance of about 20 or 25 geogranhical mile*, was securely o c cupied by Ruins. Ak Mesdjsd be came Fort Perovski and the Syr.Haria, from its mouth up to this point, beCame the southern frontier of Russia, whose territory was thus pushed as far as 45 deg. N. lat. It must at least be admitted that the Russians pursued their vast schemes with extraordinary tenacity. No reveries could make them depart a single step from the way . they had marked out for themselves. It wu in vain that the people of Khokand at tacked Fort Perovski in the following winter, and that, when beaten beck from here, they roused large numbers of the Kirghiz Hordes in the rear of the Russians, to make common cause for the freedom of Turan. Relying upon the strategic unit of their plans, the Russians allowed the rising of the Kirghiz Hordes, among whose leaders the Emir Ist Kutebar was conspicuous, to assume such large proportions, that the caravan roads became impracticable, the Russian transports were cut off, and many of the desert fortresses were destroyed. The fleet on the Sea of Aral carried provisions from the Russian colonist' upon its islands up the Syr-Daria as far as Fort Perovski, which still remained the basis of opera tions. In 1854 the operations were directed with all possible vigour against Khiva. A battle was unnecessary. When the Khan of Khiva saw the Russian army of 17,000 men advancing under the command of Perovski, he eon. eluded • treaty of submission, in which be recognised the "Almighty , Crar" as his lord and master, and acknow ledged his ' perpetual right to make peace or war, to legislate over life and death, and to regulate the commer cial highways and commercial tariffs.. Thus Khiva, th e immediate neighbour of Persia and Afghanistan, became completely dependent upon Russia, and the Khan in point of fact became • Russian governor, under the special con. trol of a consul resident at his court. Meanwhile, the important highways between Khokand and Kulia, and between Kasagar and Semipalatinsk, had been placed completely in the power of Russia by the erection of Fort Wernoye, and by the transplantation of several thousand colonists from Oreuburg. Kbokand could thus be left to herself, especially as the Khan of Bokhara was endeavouring to take advantage of her being engaged in • perpetual struggle against the advance of Russia, for the purpose of extending his own borders. At the same time • party of Khokand Usbeks, who bad been driven from their homes by the Russian conquests on the right bank of the Syr-Daria, threw themselves into Chinese Tartary, in order to get possession of the most important commercial points. In this they succeeded, and, in all probability, the are to this day in possession. These events o during the Outman war, and, simul taneously, Khokand was exposed to the dangers of a civil war excited by various pretenders to the Khanate. With out this additional circumstance Khokand would hardly hare been brought so soon to the brink of destruction. For with Bokhara peace had been restored, and even the armies of the various pretenders were willing to co operate against the assaults of Russia, and generally did so with success. The Crimean war, too, prevented Perovski's army from being supported, and as the Rus sians had to expect that England would make a hostile demonstration from India against their occupation of the right batik of the Syr-Daria, they were forced to confine themselves to taking care of what they already held. Then it happened that Kudayar, the most formidable to Russia of all the preten den, was deposed by an Enuute among his followers after an unsuccessful attack upon Fort Perovski, and applied for aid to Mar:afar, Khan of Bokhara, who ac cepted the invitation with all the more readiness because he bad been for some time looking out for an opportunity to turn the difficulties in Khokand to his own account. Ina very short time all the towns of Khokand were in his hands ; Kudajar had to be satiafied with a small pro perty ; and a boy, who bad not yet reached his majority, was made Khan of Kbokand, under the protectorate of )(nastier. The Russians, with great skill took advantage of this moment to excite the people of Khiva against Bandar ; and, while a trilling war between Khiva and Bokhara was engaging his attention, one after another of the forts on the line between Perovski and Viernoye fell into the hands of Ramie. General Perovski had thus, after 20 years' activity, secured for Rorie an impregnable position in Western Turkestan. Worn out by his Herculean labours, he now entrusted the secret of his plans, and the means of carry ing them out, to his successor Katinin, while General I Tobernsiev was charged with the conduct of milit ar y operations. But it was not till 1863 that any offensive movement up the Syr-Dacia was undertaken from Fort Pe rovski. Khemkand, Turkestan, and the rich lands of Khokand were soon in the hands of the Russians, and the supremacy of Bokhara over Khokand was questioned. By proclaiming themselves to the people of Khokand as their liberators from the yoke of Bokhara, the Russians managed to draw a portion of the population directly over to their side. Muusfer's heroic operations succeeded so far as to throw back westwards an advanced division of the Russians, and thus to plus in his hands, not only the forti fied town of Cbooyend, but also Taachkend, the most im portant basis of the Russians in the Khokand districts of the Syr-Daria. But in May 111814 the Khokand com mander, Alim-Kul, was driven back as far as Thechkend, after being defeated by General Tcliernaiev. In Tuck kend Mos:afar commanded in pww , but in vain. Whether in cosooquaire of treaslesy or owing to the strategic superiority of the it s, is Jape tLep possession of the town, and Mausdar Mil forced telei : al towards the borders of Bokbara. like Khios, now ceased to b e an indepeud,,,t state.Kkand o , tbeboy Khsa was em u e d b y t h e repot awhas the empire, sillm-Kul, in the eastern part of the «num, the inhabitants of Tsachkend be came reconc i led to supremacy of Russia. The example of the capital iaf c enced the surrounding country, and before longTcherw, was able to report to St. Petersburg that the town Lt.l province of Tsachkend bad demanded complete incorpott. lion into the empire of Russia. The deputation from lilw kand which appeared in Moscow and St. Petersburg, i n spring of the present year, to do homage to the Czar, it still( resit in remembrance. Mtuzafar of Bokhata had been able to retain the r e m, part of his wannest* in Kbokend, even after the fidl Tasehkend, because it was not for the moment the °bi te; of the Russians to extend themselves farther, but rath, t to secure their new possessions. Been in the u , tumn of 180 Tolternsaev sent anibasaadon with sp. patently favourable proposals to Bothers ; but M azza , far, who bad assumed th e title of " Ruler of the Faith. ful," had succeeded, in the meantime, in giving a eah. glens character to the war against Russia, and had this gathered together under his stszsdard a great etude of the Khokami Umbels', and several Kirghu Emirs, 11, therefore ordered the Russian diplomatists to be arrestol, and conveyed to Samarkand, where he had fixed ha residenoe. This imprudent violation of the prietk,,, of sa embassy which are reepected even by eastern Wu. battens, did not remain unavenged. Without any ftutt,, declaration of war, the Russians sent an expedition January, 1866, againstMusaafar, whose troops a n d a ll: not pmared for an attack, were in May disastrously deleted and mattered. But the Russians, unable to trust the prepllie of Kkokand, took care not to t e ak,. further esatward. They contented themselves with esta blishing a frontier fortress between Kkokand Ist Bokhars ; and, as Mursafar had not yet mimed ilea embassy, Kbodiend was taken by storm. Maude was now ready to release his prisoners, but it mass too late. The operations of the Bastian army tinned to be directed uninterruptedly town& Bokhara ; and in the early pert of last Minn the frontier of that country was emend. Maui. far's conquests in Yhokand had moon to be entirely slim. dosed ; one feet in Bokhars fell after =oilier, and eve Samorksad was seriously threatened. Under these . ounsatanoseMussafar sent the Emir of Bukha ra to Or: burg in June to conclude peace upon any coaditioaa governor-general was prudent, at least no far as cse gathered from the Russian reports ; and peace was es .. eluded upon the principle of Uri poffideris. The Rasmus had pushed their advanced guard to within ten geo gr . phical miles of Samarkand, while the army of Bol th i t :, after the loss of its fortified camp, bad become completely disorganized. This temporary peace cannot keep keel out of Western Turkestan. Indeed, there is so myth confidence upon this point in St. Petersburg, that a " General Government of Turkestan " has been mule , At of the three Khanates, and has been entrusted to Cetera Kauffmaisn, notorious for his reign of terror in the lemem provinces of Russia.
