THE LONDON DEBT COLLECTING COMPANY-IMPORTANT DECISION-BROOKS V. THOMAS. This was an action to recover a sum of money from de fendant, who is proprietor of one of those societies which are springing up in London every day under somewhat singular circumstances. Plaintiff—l am a subscriber to the defendant's society. 100 1011 a 2 i The Court—What society is it ? Plaintiff—A debt collecting society. I pay 30s. per an num, and here is my card of membership. The Court read the card, and found that for 30s. per annum members were entitled to " legal advice and assist ance" for nothing—(laughter)—and inquired if there were any lawyers attached to the institution. (Renewed laughter.) Defendant said there were two. A Voice—Ah, but one of those says his name has been used without his authority. He says he will have nothing to do with the society, as it is a bad lot. (Roars of laughter.) The Court—Well, how is the present sum made out ? Plaintiff—A person of the name of Higinbotham owed me some money, and I put it into the hands of the defen dant to recover. A clerk in his service, named Foney, re ceived it, and I cannot get it from defendant. Mr. Buchanan (for defendant)—That is just it. We say . the clerk (as he i s ca ll e d) was no t i n our em pl o y. He was not authorised to receive money, and he purloined the documents which enabled him to get the money now sued for. The Court—To have obtained information of the debt he must have been in your office. Defendant—Yes, he came in, and I allowed him to stay a '.short time, but he was expressly forbidden to receive money. The Court—What on earth business can a clerk have in a debt collecting society except to collect debts ? Mr. Buchanan—He was in the office, it is true, but are we to suffer because he took our papers ? The Court did not think that the person who had paid the money ought to suffer. A great deal was promised in a card, and for 30s. per annum money was to be collected, and legal advice or assistance given. A person of the name of Stubbs had stated that he was making £36,000 a-year out of a like business, and if societies of this nature pro mised so much they must be careful. In this case the debt had been placed in defendant's hands, and he was instructed to collect it. A person gets possession of the papers in Lis office and obtains the money, Clearly defen danti wa liable and must pay forthwith. D e feo ant—Will you give me time ? The C urt—What I rho London Debt Collecting Society ask for time ? (Laughter.) Oh I no ; you must pay at once. You are rich. You must pay it down. (Great laughter, during which the parties retired.) POLICE INT.ELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) _.,___ SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. THE GREAT WATERLO ') COURSING MEETING. THURSDAY.

PEDESTRIANISM. BROMPTON. MATCH BETWEEN WILLIAM SPOONER (OP TURNHAM GREEN) AND MILES FOR £lOO AND THE CHAMPIONSHIP. —Spooner, for years past, has been well known to the me tropolitan patrons of pedestrianism as having in years by past contested with and defeated the best men brought against him. In these struggles Spooner gave unmistake able proof of extraordinary speed, though at the same time it must be stated great fault was found with his style ; and even at an early period of his career, there were not want• ing those who were of opinion, when he made these amaz ing spurts for which he has rendered himself famous, that he entirely broke the rule of fair heel and toe. While, then, admitting the unrivalled capabilities of the champion, the faultiness of his style has been freely and at times severely commented on, nor was the present match an exception to the general rule. Although Miles has not long been known to fame, yet he has exhibited in his few matches such a turn of speed, combine I with such excellent style and ac tion, that it was confidently predicted he must soon stand A 1 on the list. Miles is not more than 21, being more than 10 years younger than Spooner. Although the weather was so unpropitious, there could not have been less than from 2,000 to 3,000 spectators assembled within the pre cincts of Mr. J. Roberts's ground, and among those present we noticed tho leading sporting notables of the day. To complete the 14 miles, the pedestrians had to make the cir cuit of the course 66 times. The office of referee was filled by Owen Swift, who, on being solicited by the backers of the men, very kindly took upon himself to discharge the anything but pleasant duty. Charles Westhall, of pedes trian renown (one of Spooner's opponents), was umpire for Miles, while a well-known sporting celebrity acted on the part of the champion. The betting was 7 to 4 on Miles, and there was a good deal of money invested. At a few minutes after the specified time (three o'clock) the pedestrians, in the pelting pitiless rain, came on the ground ; Spooner being waited on by Jobn Smith (the Regent-street Pet), and Myers, of Newcastle; while J. Eldridge, as pace-regu lator and counsel for Miles, discharged his duties in an effi cient and zealous manner. Miles looked the perfection of condition; his skin glowed with the tinge of health, while the muscles on his well. knit though youthful frame were prominently developed. We heard the whisper, as the men came on the ground, that Spooner had been amiss ; but, whatever truth there might have been in the assertion, he certainly did not bear the appearance of one who had been in any way indisposed; on the contrary, the champion, like his opponent, gave unmistakeable evidence of condition. The pedestrians haying agreed to walk to the right hand of the course, and taken up their allotted positions at the mark, the signal " Go" was given, when on the instant a hundred different watches were set moving to take the time. No sooner had the start been effected than Spooner went bound ing along with the lead. As he warmed to the pace, and got the system into full play, there was that slight forward in clination of the head and body peculiar to him, while his arms and shoulders worked like a couple of steam rammers. Miles, on the contrary, held himself perfectly upright, and the firm stride and graceful carriage of this pedestrian was much admired, and became perhaps more striking to the spectators, as it in all respects totally differed from his op ponent. Throughout the first, second, third, and fourth lap there was not the least variation in position, Spooner still held the lead; and on the finish of the last of the above laps, which completed the first mile, he headed his man by about three yards, doing the mile in 7 minutes 20 seconds. While performing the second mile there was a fine display of pace; still the match presented no feature of varied interest that calls for special comment. In this manner they finished the second mile, which was accomplished in 15 minutes 48 seconds. The competitors had yet a long journey before them, and the match progressed in the most spirited ,manner until the 12th lap, which would be the finish of the third mile. Now, as the men reached the top bend of the course, and came into the straight, the pace became really astonish ing ; and although Miles so decreased the gap as to get nearly shoulder to shoulder with his man, yet he could not pass him. The three miles were accomplished in 23 minutes 45 seconds, and as they entered upon the 13th lap (the first of the fourth mile) Spooner laid himself down to his work in such a manner that he soon left a rather formidable in terval between himself and his rival—though, as Miles fol lowed, he smiled in a confident manner, as much as to assure his friends, by whom he was vociferously cheered, he was " all right." The match was still splendidly con tested, and on the termination of the• fourth mile (31 minutes 63 seconds) the Champion headed his opponent by something like five yards. In the 17th lap (the first of the fifth mile) Spooner, as they went down the side opposite the railings, made a tremendous spurt, when the referee, for the purpose of watching Spooper's action more minutely, left his stand in the middle of the course, and got close to him ; although he did not then give any " caution," more than we believe telling him to be careful. On the finish of the fifth mile (40 minutes 27 seconds) Spooner was net more than four yards a head, a proof this portion of the dis tance had, despite the heavy rain, been admirably contested. On the termination of the seventh mile (half the distance) Spooner was not more than three yards a head ; so that, though in the rear, Miles had not allowed his opponent to get far away from him ; and so well was he walking, that his friends were full of confidence as to the result. The seven miles were done in 57 minutes two seconds. Spooner now began gradually to widen the gap between them, and on the finish of the eighth mile was leading by fully 40 yards. This advantage he continued to improve on, being, at the finish of the 40th lap, this completing the tenth mile (1 hour 21 minutes four seconds), at least 140 yards a-head. In the spurts Spooner made in the eighth and ninth mile, there had been considerable disappro bation expressed at the manner in which he " put it on," and, as ho passed the stand, he was repeatedly greeted with cries of "walk fair." The referee throughout paid tho strictest attention to the progress of the match, and discharged his duty with that fairness and im partiality characteristic of the man. From the tenth mile the match may be said to have been virtually over ; for, although Miles still continued the struggle, it was apparent he had not the least chance. Eleven miles were done in 1 hour 29 minutes 4.5 seconds ; twelve in 1 hour 39 minutes 29 seconds ; thirteen in 1 hour 46 minutes 24 seconds ; and the entire distance (14 miles) in 1 hour 57 minutes 461 se conds. Miles, when Spooner reached the goal amidst voci ferous cheering, was exactly 150 yards in the rear. DESPERATE ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE BY A FO RElGNER.—Yesterday morning the police authorities of Somers-town received information of a most desperate at tempt of a foreigner of the name of Sebeart, a teacher of languages, residing at 172, Euston-road, to commit suicide. It appeared that the unfortunate man took a razor and cut his stomach across. So deep was the cut that the bowels protruded. As soon as possible the poor fellow was taken to the University College Hospital, where he now reauws) no hopes being entertained of his recovery.

THE FATHER AND DAUGHTER.—" As YOU SOW TOV )LUST REAP."—Rosetta Griffiths, a girl not quite 17 years of age, a mere child in appearance, was brought up on re mand before Mr. Woolrych, charged with stealing £2O in money, 18 blankets, a silk dress, and various other articles, the property of her father, James Griffiths, a marine-store . and metal dealer, of No. 4, High -street, Poplar, who for some time associated the calling of a pawnbroker with his other business. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, conducted the prosecution, and said it was not intended to go into the case of stealing the money. The prisoner had robbed her mother of £2O while the latter was in bed, soon after giving birth to her last child. It was not the wish of the parents of the girl that she should be severely punished. They wished her to be removed for a time beyond the reach of bad corn panions. The prosecutor, Griffiths, is well known at this could. A continual watch has been kept on his shop by the police of the K division for many years, a peat number of thieves with stolen goods and property unlawfully possessed, have been taken in and near his shop, and Griffiths has been twice in custody, and brought to this court, but escaped conviction or committal. He is the father of 11 children. The prisoner plundered her parents to a large extent. She took £2O from her mother and gave it to her " young man," a fellow of bad character, with whom she had cohabited. On being given into custody she said she was married, and that her name was IVesthorpe. Her father said he would forgive her if she was married. It was proved she was not married. Her robberies extended over a long period, and she had employed a woman named Mary Ann Thompson to pawn a great portion of the stolen pro perty, and sold three duplicates relating to a counterpane and two blankets after they were pawned to a married man named Mary Ann Martin. Another married woman named Eliza Smith, the wife of He❑ry Smith, of 13, James-place, High-street, Poplar, had pawned a tablecloth for Gs., redeemed it, and pawned it a second time for the prisoner. Abbott, a police-constable, No. 322 K, re ceived a great many pawn tickets from the prisoner and from the woman Smith. The property to which they related, including 11 blankets (18 were missing), a silk dress, 13 sheets, counterpane, 7 towels, 4 table-cloths, and other property, were produced by three pawnbrokers' assis tants. The various "bundles," as they were opened, were identified by Mr. and Mrs. Griffiths. Tho prisoner's father said that his daughter used to stop out one and two nights per week. Her excuse was, she was a mat ried woman. The prisoner, who has lately miscarried and is in a weakly condition, said she had nothing at all to say. Mr. Wnolrych said this was a very melancholy case, indeed. The prisoner, actuated by vicious and unhappy connexions, had robbed her parents to an enormous extent. He sentenced her to be imprisoned for two mcnths and kept to hard labour for unlawfully disposing of her father's property. TILIS DAY'S MARKETS.

There was rather an active inquiry for lambs, at from 7s 4d to 7s 8d per 81bs. We had a slow sale for calves, at about previous rates. Pigs and mulch cows moved off heavily, at barely stationary prices. Per 81b. to sink the offal. s. d. s. d. , s. d. a. d.

The following bills were read a second time :—Burton upon•Trent Railways, Cardiff Borough and Llandaff and Canton Markets, Edinburgh Roads and Streets, Liverpool Corporation Water, Metropolis Gas, and Nottingham Water SAINT GILES-IN-THE-FIELDS DISUSED BURIAL GROUND BILL. On the motion for the second reading of this bill, Mr. H. LEWIS moved as an amendment that it be read a second time that day six months. He contended that the bill would interfere most unjustly with the vested interests of those persons who had purchased the right of burial in the ground in question, and would hurt the reli gious feelings of persons who had relatives interred in it. The promoters of the bill had ample notice of the present amendment to the motion, and yet they had not intro duced any alteration in the bill to meet the objections that were entertained. The effect of the bill would be to benefit the rector of St. Giles's-in-the-Fields at the expense of the parishioners, and he called on the house not to allow it to proceed further. Mr. COX seconded the amendment. Mr. MASSEY said that the hon. member was quite in error in respect to the bill, which contained an express pro vision prohibiting the rector from interfering with the old burial ground, except to keep it in repair. The bill related only to the unconsecrated portion of the ground, so far as the rectory of the parish was concerned. About six years ago a private act of Parliament was passed, which enabled the trustees of the parish to purchase ground for burial purposes, and they were empowered to appro priate any portion of land not required for such an object to building purposes. By that act certain rights were also reserved to tho parish of St. Pancras, and compensation was given to persons possessing private claims on the burial ground, which was provided for by the present bill. In fact, the only question to be considered was what was to be done with the unconsecrated ground. Clergymen had sustained much injustice by not receiving any compensation for the loss of burial fees, which they bore in dignified silence, although in some cases they were in a state of actual penury. The effect of the bill would be to give an income ( £2OO a year to the rec tor of the parish, which would be i luced by £5O a year by his having to keep the burial ground in repair, and he would also have other obligations imposed on him under the pro ' visions o! the bill. Lord FERMOY untended that the rector of St. Giles' had no ground of complaint as he had not entered on his living until 1857, and then took it subject to its liabilities. He denied that there was any clause in the bill to compel the rector to keep the burial ground in repair. He might sweep awa y the graves altogether, or sell the ground pro vided he surrounded it with a wall. He supported the amendment and appealed to Irish members, many of whose countrymen were interred in St. Giles'-in-the-Fields, to oppose the bill. Mr. DEEDES supported the bill. After a few words from Mr. Cox against and from Mr. Kinnaird in favour of the bill, the house divided— For the second reading A ga inst it Majority in favour of the second reading —lO3 ADMIRALTY AND WAR OFFICE. Sir S. NORTHCO l'E moved an addreQs for a return of the number of temporary, copying, or extra clerks employed in any of the Departments of the Admiralty or in the War Office, and of the sums paid for their services in each of the last five years ; showing also any sums that may have been paid by those offices for copying or other work done out of the office and paid for by the job. Works and Buildings, and the Office of Woods, in reference to the report of the Thames Embankment Commissioners, and any bill to be founded or introduced on such report ? Mr. COWPER said that he was not prepared to produce the correspondence, which was departmental and referred to a bill not before the house. He did not think it would be worth the cost of printing the same, for the printing of the house already amounted to £24,000 a-year. COURTS IN IRELAND. In reply to Mr. SCULLY, Sir G. GREY said that there had been no official com munication on the subject. The Lord Chancellor of Ire land had expressed bis willingness to sit on the commis sion, but it was thought that it would be better to follow the course pursued in England, and exclude the Lord Chancellor of Ireland from that commission. TAXING OFFICERS IN IRELAND. In reply to Mr. SCULLY, - Sir R. PEEL said it was the intention to retain for the present a permanent Taxing Officer, but in the event of a future vacancy to inquire into the subject. BASTARDY IN IRELAND. Sir F. HEYGAIE asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether he intended to introduce a bill this session upon the subject of bastardy in Ireland. Sir R. PEEL said it was intended to bring is a bill to assimilate the law on the subject in Ireland to,that of England. ' WAYS AND MEANS. On the bringing up of the report of ways and means, The CHA N CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in reply to Sir H. WILLOUGHBY, said he did not propose to make any financial statement until the close of the financial year which would be in about six weeks. MAYNOOTII. Mr. WHALLEY asked for a return of the number of persons who had completed their education at the Royal College of Maynooth (Ireland) from the year 1845 to the year 1861 inclusive ; specifying their names, and, so far as was known to the authorities of the college, their destine- Lion on leaving the college, the position they now occupied by them, in the Roman Catholic Church, and the place of their ministry ; also stating whether any, and, if any, which of the three Roman Catholic archbishops and the 24 bishops whose, I names have appeared in the newspapers attached to a pastoral letter, dated Dublin, Feast of St. Mark, 1861, annexing to their signatures certain territorial titles, wen educated at Maynouth College, or are now officially con nected therewith as visitors, trustees, or otherwise.—The return was ordered. THE REVISED CODE. Mr. WALPOLE gave notice that he would bring for ward the subjeet of the appropriation of the money granted by the house for educational purposes, and move certainre solutions in reference thereto. BRIIISII COLUMBIA. Mr. CAIRD asked the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, whether he could confirm the reports which had recently appeared regarding gold discoveries in British Co lumbia, and if he would lay upon the table any information regarding that colony and its gold fields : Whether it was the intention of Government to establish a regular postal communication with British Columbia : And that any re cent information regarding the Australian gold fields be laid upon the table. Mr. C. FORTESCUE said that his right hon. friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer would answer the second question. With regard to the first question, very interest ing communications which had been received th e e Government, would be laid on the ta ble. The Governo of British Columbia had reported most favourablyea as to the gold-fields in that colo n y , but the great difficulty to bo contended with wee the want of communi cation with the gold fields. However the governor was re ob applying all the money he could spa towards that • ject. With respect to Australia the official reports re ceived, which would be laid on the tabh . 3, represented that the yield of gold would in all probability not . only be as prolific but as permanent a ofthat EX CH E QUER oth er mineral. The CHANCELLOR the .. said, as ground n n F d rhanad regarded postal communication with British . Columbia, h e to a communicat.ion 'with supposed it referred else°. Ire did not think that any satisfactory b een made out for calling on the people of this country to p a y for such a communication, but ho was g l a d t o l earn that a firm in the colony had adopted means for establish ing suck communication. SALARIES, PENSIONS, Ecc. Mr. WHITE asked the Secretary to the Treasury, when the return relating to salartes, pensions &c. agreed to by th e house on t he Ist of March last, would be laid upon the table. Mr. F. PEEL said there had been some unavoidable delay in p rocurin g all the returns, he hoped they would b e ready by the middle of next but month. THAMES EMBANKMENT COMMISSION. Mr. KINNAIRD asked the First Commissioner of Works if he would lay upon the table of the house a copy of an correspondence between the Treasury, the Office of THE NAVY. In order to provide increased facilities at Chatham Dockyard for constructing the iron and iron-plated vessels now building, as well as those intended to be built, at that naval establishment, the Lords of the Admiralty have decided on expending a consi derable sum during the present year in the im provement an d enlargement of the dockyard, in addition to the large sum voted last year for the formation of new docks and basins, and the erec tion of an additional factory and other buildings. The principal works in connection with the en largement of the dockyard will be executed by convicts. The second dock, in which the iron steamer Achilles, 50, is under construction, will be improved at a cost of about £3,500, which sum will be expended in the construction of a new caisson at the entrance, £l,OOO having already been voted for this purpose. It is also intended to enlarge the workships used by the mechanics and artisans em ployed on the Achilles, at an estimated cost of about £l,OOO. Their lordships have also given directions for the enlargement of the millwrights' yard and premises so as to admit of a greater number of hands being employed in connection with that de partment, should their services be suddenly re quired. The erection of a large workshop on the space adjoining the slip on which the Royal Oak is building, the works connected with which have already been commenced by Messrs. Foord and Sons, the contractors, will involve an outlay of up wards of £3,000, including the machinery required in armour-plating the wooden ships. Directions have also been given for erecting additional quar ters for the metropolitan force employed in the dock yard, at an estimated cost of £3,000. The total sum which it is intended to expend during the present year in the improvement of Chatham Dockyard, exclusive of the large amount voted for that pur pose, is nearly £50,000. A considerable addi tion is to be made to the number of mechanics employed on the Acbilles, provision having been made for employing 1,051 hands on that vessel during the present year, in order that she may be completed in the shortest possible time. The sum taken in the esti mates for wages for the hired workmen engaged on the iron ships this year is £74,310. Provision has also been made for the entry of hired artificers and labourers at Chatham and the other dockyards for a period of four months, to be employed exclusively on the repair of ships, the sum required for this purpose being £30,000. In addition to the present dock accommodation it is intended to construct five new docks at Chatham, three of which will be of 500 ft in length, and two of 400 ft, and each capable of receiving the largest vessels in the service. Three large basins, communicating with each other, are also intended to be formed at the eastern end of the existing yard, the largest of which will have an area w ith a length of 2 , 000 ft and width of 0 rema ining basins covering 22 acres 70 of f t 3 0 the acres , r t e two 0 and 7 acres respectively. The depth of water in each basin will be 30ft at neap tides. By far the most important part of the intended improvements, however, will be the embankment of the river to prevent the filling up of the existing channel way. This will be accomplished by convict labour, the estimated cost of the work already contemplated being £85,000, which includes the cost of the coffer dams for executing the work within free from water. The river from the locks at the entrance to the basins, towards Sheerness, will be deepened to form a channel 800 ft wide and 27ft deep at half-tides, which will give 31ft at neaps and 35ft at spring tides. The sum to be expended in deepening the river, according to the plan already decided upon, is £45,000. As so on as the whole of the alter ations beennow in carried progress,nto well as those effect, ect, Chatham decandided p upon m h e a n y t e s dockyard will be the most commodious of our naval establishments, while its protection from hostile attacks will be amply secured by the powerful bat teries and fortifications now being erected in its vicinity. The Royal Alfred, under course of conversion from a laid-down 90 gun ship, to a 50 gun iron plated frigate at Portsmouth, on Tuesday had her outer sternpost placed in position. A large num ber of hands are employed upon this ship, and her stern frame is being completed, now that the authorities have decided upon the form of screw well with which to fit the ship. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Lieut. F. S. Clayton to the Esp Dir ; Peter Butler, promoted to engineer super numerary in the Cumberland ; and W. W. Webber, confirmed as Ist class assist.-engineer in the Shannon. MELANCHOLY FATE OF " STEEPLE JAcii7."-- A daring Sheffield man, who from his feats in a ffixing lightning conductors to high steeples , and in reiairing factory chimneys, had earned for himself the title of " Steeple Jack," met with a s hocking death yesterday morning. His real name is Charles Faulkner . Mr. Hair sworth, ironfounder, is t he contractor for iron h work for a large cotton factory in course of erection, f or Mr. Edwin Learoyd, at Manchester, a nd the deceased was employed at the place. Ab out eight o'clock h e was engaged on the third story of the ani.lnished building, an d while walking on a narrow p lank, h is foot slipped, and he fell a distance of about 40 feet. His head came in contact with one of the iron beams of . the basement story, which drove i n the skull, and caused immediate death. GLOUCESTER CITY WRIT. Mr. H. BERKELEY, in a very humorous speech, moved the following, and contended that Gloucester had been dealt hardly with, considering the stolid indifference displayed by the house to other boroughs equally corrupt ,4 That Mr. Speaker do issue his warrant to the Clerk of tho . Crown to make out a new writ for the electing of two citi zens to serve in this present Parliament for the city of Gloucester, in the room of Philip Wm. Price and Chas. J. Monk, esquires, whose election has been determined to be void." . _ Sir G. GREY said it was not the intention of Govern ment to oppose the issue of a writ for Gloucester, nor that which was to be moved that evening for the borough of Wakefield.
