SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Sergeant Wheeler.) HARD SWEARING BY POLICE-CONSTABLES, AND IMPRES SIVE REMARKS BY THE JUDGE.-ISENBERG V. DOLDY. This was an action to recover for a watch and guard. On the part of the plaintiff three witnesses swore that the pro perty was sold to the defendant, who is a metropolitan police constable, and these witnesses detailed to the court minute facts in connection with the transaction. Defendant swore that the watch was sold to his brother, who had paid 10s., and only declined to pay the balance because the 'plaintiff refused to alter the watch. Plaintiff—You paid the 10s. and received the watch, and called three or four times about it. Defendant—My brother paid the 10s. and received the watch, and I have only been in your place once in my life. After hearing the brother, his honour (Mr. Wheeler) said, " I find for plaintiff." Defendant—l have a wife and four children ; will you grant me time ? His Honour (most impressively)—l regret to find that such instances of hard swearing as I have witnessed from police-constables should exist. It was only the other day, in this very court, that a police-constable committed gross and deliberate perjury, and I was obliged to caution— ay, threaten to commit—him before I could bring him to a sense of the obligations of an oath. lam not satisfied to day with defendant's case; and I tremble to think that ,the liberties of the inhabitants of this great metropolis should, perhaps, be intrusted to men who so loosely weigh the ob ligations imposed by the oath. It is painful to be compelled to make these observations, but the oath is solemn and serious upon all men, but particularly so to police-officers, who have in their hands the lives and liberties of the sub jects of this land. (A loud burst of applause followed these remarks, but it was speedily repressed by direction of his Honour.) POLICE---THIS D.Y. MARLBOROUGH•STREET, THIS DAY, A WIFE BEATING RUFFIAN COMMITTED FOR THE FULL TERM.—Thomas Coles, a carpenter, of 14, Newport court, was charged with the following ruffianly assault on his wife, Marttia Coles, the prisoner being brought up on 81 a remand. Mrs. Coles, a respectable looking woman, said on Tues day evening her husband came home and complained be - cause his supper was not ready, the reason being that she had been washing all day. He then knocked her down twice, and a person interfered, and as soon ai she left the prisoner again knocked her down, and then kicked her in the breast. The landlady cf the house said, hearing screams of " murder," bhe went upstairs, and saw Mrs. Coles rising, with her eye much inflamed. She told the prisoner it was cruel of him, as his wife had been washing all day. After she had left the room a short time she heard screams again, and a heavy fall overhead, and on again going upstairs she saw the prisoner kick his wife in the back. She called him a brute, and he then struck her (witness) in the face. She did not think the prisoner was sober. She kept up all night, and prisoner's son said that his father had threat ened to kill him if he did not keep quiet. Gordon, 336 A, said he bad long known Mrs. Coles as a respectable woman, and the prisoner was constantly M using her. and the prisoner had George Hatchard Welsh, office - keeper, said he had assault s on his wife, who, been known charged the i) being a respectable woman, had been several times assisted a s r e t v i eesr several frr t e m i g e s h tf for r e ars, by the court. He also believed the prisoner had beeen corn mitted at the Lambeth Police-court for the same offence. The prisoner, in a rambling defence, said the female was not his wife ; as she had a husband alive when he married her. Mr. Knox said a glance at the prisoner would tell any one what he was. He believed all he had said in his de fence was a tissue of lies, The only thing ho could do for the woman was to get her free from the prisoner for six months' with hard labour. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE THROUGH I NTEMPERANCE.— Rebecca Kinghorn, of 1, Cross-street, need.ewoman, was charged before Mr. Knox with attempting to commit sui tide. The defendant had been drinking for some days, and while labouring under its effects took a quantity of laudanum. Information was given of the fact by a young woman named Eliza Rolysh, and Mr. M'Oscar, of Tyler-street, was sent for and the defendant afterwards taken to the Middlesex Hospital. The defendant said she had been very much upset, and asked to be allowed to go away. Mr. Knox said he did not consider himself justified in letting her go after sh 9 had attempted to take her life, which was as bad as taking that of another person. He should send her to the House of Detention, where she would be under the care of the chaplain (Mr Jephson), who would say to her that which he (Mr. Knox) hoped would have an impression on her and would be useful to her for the future COLONIAL GOVERN MENT SECURITIES. 1877-82 Can.

A REAL CAB Heusi.—John Joseph Elliott, a cab arivPr, of No. 9., Crown-ervinf, I,Vontworih etrcct, While chapel, was brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with working a horse in the cab No. 951, which was not in a fit state to be worked. The case was proved by police. sergeant Dillon, No. 19 K who saw the defendant's horse and cab in 13Th-street, Shad well. It was quite worn out, had a tore back, and was sore all over. Mr. Cotton, of Worship. street, was the owner of the horse. The Sergeant said the horse was a very small one, but at one time it did a good deal of work. The defendant, in reply to the charge, said—lt is a real cab horse, your honour. I was not aware it was so bad as it is. Mr. IVoolrych went into the station-house yard adjoin ing the court, and on his return said that ,the animal was a fair specimen indeed of a real cab horse, and ought not to be worked at all in its present state. He doubted very much whether it ought ever to be worked again. The knacker's yard was the best place for it. He fined the pri soner 305., which he said the owner of the horse ought to TOBACCO SSIUGGLING,—George Short and Samuel Pit man were brought before Mr. Woolyrch, charged with smuggling tobacco. Short is a labourer, and Pitman a fireman, belonging to the General Steam Navigation Cornpany'ssbip Leo, trading between Rotterdam and London.

MARK-LANE. There was a very moderate show of samples of English wheat on sale here, to-day, the greater portion of which was taken off, at quite Monday's incline in the quotations. With foreign wheat the market was well supplied. In all descripticns sales progress slowly, and prices were with difficulty supported. Floating cargoes of grain changed hands to a moderate extent, on rather easier terms. The supply of foreign barley was large—of English very moderate. All kinds sold heavily, and the currencies had a drooping tendency. The malt trade was inactive, yet no change took place in prices. For oats there was a fair demand, and all superior samples were firm in values, whilst medium and inferior parcels were without quotable alteration. Beans and peas met a heavy market, at barely late rates. The supply 3n offer, however, was small. All kinds of flour were a slow sale, and, where sales were pressed, prices ruled tbe turn lower.

The report of the amendments in this bill were brought up. ELECTRIC TELEGRAPHS. Lord REDESDALE presented a petition from certain landowners, road trustees, and others, complaining of the injury done to their property by the erecting of electric telegraphs thereon. The petitioners prayed that some general legislation might take place, and that compensation might be awarded were it was proved injury had been done. He the ught the subject of the petition well worthy of the deepest consideration, as the longer the question of the right to erect these telegraphs was delayed the more difficult it would be to provide a remedy. Lord HATHERTON supported the prayer of the peti tions: Lord STANLEY of ALDEELEY said that in the first instance these elect' ie telegraph companies had been content to erect these telegraphs along lines of railways and canals, giving to railway companies the right to use one wire for the privilege, and, in the case of the canals, entering into some sort of agreement for the privilege; but lately a great deal of injury has been done to private property by the erec tion of telegraphs thereon. The fact was, very extensive powers had been given in private bills, going in some in stances the length of allowing parties to enter private property without even the consent of the owners. He thought it was desirable that some general measure ought to be intro due( d with a view of laying down some general principle for the government of these companies. [LEFT SPEAKING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS—THIS EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS.

ESTCOURT gave notice that he would make a motion to the eilect that steps should be adopted to settle the disputed question of church rates. (Hear, hear, and laughter). SUPPORT OF PAUPER LUNATICS IN DUBLIN, Sir E. GROGAN asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if he received a statement from the Lord Mayor and Muni cipal Council of Dublin, on Sept. 29, 1861, praying that the citizens of Dublin might be relieved from the support of lunatics not belonging to the Dublin district, and that addi tional governors for the Richmond Lunatic As lum might be selected from the Municipal Couneil. Sir R. PEEL said that he had received some communi cation ou the subject iu question, but he did not consider that there were any circumstances in the case of Dublin district that required such exceptional regulations as those suggested by the hon. member. MR. JUSTICE BOOTHBY. Mr, CHILDERS asked the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies what action her Majesty's Government have taken in regard to the petitions from both houses of Parlia ment in South Australia, praying her Majesty to remove Mr. Justice Boothby from tho bench of South Australia ; and 'whether there would be any objection to produce the correspondence between Go vernor M'Donnell and the Duke of Newcastle, on the sub ject of those petitions. Mr. C. FORTESCUE said that his noble friend at the head of the foreign department had received papers on the subject, and that a selection of these documents would be made and presented to the house. DISTRESS IN IRELAND, Mr. MAGUIRE drew the attention of the house to the distress prevailing in the south-west of Ireland. He said that cases of the most harrowing description °centred in the district to which he referred. (The hon. member then cited several cases of distress in Skibbereen and other parts of the south-west of Ireland, and inferred from them a general statement as to the destitution of the district in question. Sir R. PEEL said that the Government had adopted all the means their power to ascertain the actual state of the south-west of Ire and, and from the result of that in quiry they were satisfied that the statements of the hon. member (Mr. Maguire) were very much exaggerated. There was much exaggeration in reference to Irish matters. He thought the house should place more reliance on the information obtained by Government than any obtained by agents for newspapArs, upon which the hon. member (Mr. Maguire) relied in the statement he had made to the house. He repeated that he much regretted the distress that pre vailed in the south-west of Ireland. but he was happy to inform the house that in that part of Ireland the green and cereal crop was iu a very prosperous condition. H e did not deny that distress existed in Ireland, but ho con tended that, contra stin g the state of the countr y somay ea rs ago with its p resent state that t here vas an i m provement. He s tron g l y de p refiate d placing implicit re li an ce on the reports t o Irish news papers as to the condi.' tion of Ireland, as the y were g enerall y too highly coloured and founded on inaccurate information. PUNISHMENT IN CASES OF PERSONAL VIOLENCE. Sir AL PETO called the attention of the house to this s ubject. He said that the puni s h ments inflicted by magis trates for this class of offences were most capricious. In some cases they were deservedly severe, and in others they were strangely light. Looking at the importance of the subject he thought it was a matter that should be taken up by the Government. S i r G. GREY said that the law necessarily placed con siderable discretion in the hands of the magistrates, and did not think thAt ih referehoe to the general question ~_ finvolved, th a t i t was necessary to go into the particular cases cited by the hon. baronet (Sir M. Peto). EXPENDITURE ON NATIONAL DEFENCES. Sir R. CLIFTON drew the attention of the house to the immense expeu4;ture for national defences in time of peace, and moved •or papers respecting the armaments of France. Lord PALMERSTON said that no thinking person would for a moment suppose that, in the present state of the continent of Europe, this country should be deficient in military and naval preparations. [LEFT SPEARIN G .1 I HOUSE OF COMMONS —YESTERDAY. EDUCATION IN IRELAND. The O'CONNOR DON drew the attention of the house to this subject, and said that although unanimity did not exist iu Ireland in reference to this matter, still it was oc cupying a considerable portion of public attention in that country. Ho then adverted to tho great objection in Ireland to the system of national education, namely, the disseverance of religious and secular instruction in public schools. The hon. member next alluded to the gene ral piinciple of Government interference in national educa tion, and he contended that such interference should be limited merely to assisting and not originating any compre hensive scheme of education, except under very exceptional circumstances. Sir R PE EL observed that this questi , n had been often debated in that house without any other effect than to con firm the principle and policy adopted in Ireland, and it was impossible to contend that the sy tem of teaching had not succeeded. He referred to returns showing the satisfac tory results of the national system, and, with respect to the Queen's Colleges (the main point of the O'Conor Don's attack), which it was said had not met the object for which they were established in 1845, he insisted that they had, on the contrary, been pre-eminently successful, and had answered the purpose of those who had founded them. Sir Robert entered into copious details to establish his position, and, in conclusion, expressed regret that some of the Ro man Catho'ic prelates should have condemned the system of mixed education and stigmatised the Queen's Colleges, striving to narrow the basis of secular instruction. Ho hoped that the Government and the Legislature would scrupulously maintain that system of combined secular edu ation from the influence of which such beneficial results had flowed, which had led, year by year, to the moral improvement and social advantage of the people of Ireland, Mr. MAGUIRE replied to Sir. R. Peel, and controverted some of his statements, denouncing the national system of mixed education as, in many parts of Ireland, a monstrous sham. The whole thing had tailed, he said, in every pro vince but one, and there the system did not produce the beneficial results which it had the credit of producing, All that was asked in Ireland was a national syAern under which each religious body should have the training of its own children. The discussion was continued by Mr. P. Urquhart, Mr. Lefroy, Mr. M'Mahon, Mr. Hadfield, Mr. Macdonogh, and Major O'Reilly. Mr. WHITESIDE animadverted upon the intempe rance of language in which some of the speakers had in indulged, and upon the attacks made upon the Established Church, contrasting these aberrations from the question with the temper, ability, and moderation with which it had been argued by the O'Conor Don. He disputed some of the remarks made by Sir Robert Peel with reference to the University of Dublin, which ought not, he said, to have been dragged into this discussion. With respect to the charter sought for the Roman Catholic university, ho remarked that it was not explained how the charter was to be drawn, where the authority was to be lodged, and whether the Crown was to be excluded from all control over it. Mr. MONSELL insisted that there existed iu Ireland a restriction upon Roman Catholics desiring that their chil dren should have religious instruction without being de barred the means of obtaining academical degrees, which should be opened to all without the sacrifice of conscientious convictions. Mr. HENNESSY called attention to the letter recently laid upon the table respecting the foundation of additional scholarships in the second year's course of the faculty of arts in the Qaeen's colleges, and to the official returns on the subject. Lord PALMERSTON, interposing, expressed a hope that, considering the lateness of the hour (half-past 11), and that there was other business before the house, gentle men who desired to speak further upon the subject would defer their speeches till another opportunity. The discussion was, however, resumed by Mr. O'FER RALL, who charged the Government with a breach of faith in the matter of national education in Ireland. The motion for going into a committee of supply was withdrawn. The report of the committee of supply having been brought up, Mr. AYRTON, on the vote for the harbour at Alderney, said he hid satisfied himself that the works could not be completed for the sum estimated by the Government, and insisted that it was absolutely necessary to have some dis tinct information as to the character at.d nature of the works, and as to the sum required for their completion. He moved for a eel , et committee to inquire into the amount for which the harbour and fortifications at Alderney will be completed. This amendment was seconded by Mr. BEN TINCK , who wished to know what, in the event of a lea!: with France, would be the cffe't of the works—the harbour and the for tifications —beneficial or otherwise, supposing the works were finished, lie believed they would be not only useless, but detrimental to the country. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY asked to what extent the Go vernment had been committed in these works. Mr. PEEL said the plan had been laid before the house, and he believed the works would be completed for the sum estimated by the Government, £1,300,000. He saw no ad vantage in the appointment of a select committee. After a short discussion, in which Mr. Monsen, Mr. Liddell, Lord C, Paget, Colonel Knox, and Mr. Baxter took part, Lord PALMERSTON said the Government only asked the house to enable them to complete a work which they believed would be of great national advantage. In reply to Mr. Bentinck he observed that he had already stated that the harbour would bo of the utmost importance, in the event of war, with reference to the Channel. Sir M. PETO pledged his professional reputation that the harbour, as now proposed to be made, would be per fectly useless. Sir H. VERNEY defended the vote. Upon a division, the amendment was negatived by 174 to 118, and the vote was agreed to. The Unlawful Oaths (Ireland) Act Continuance Bill was read a second time. Several bills were forwarded a stage. Sir G. LEWIS obtained leave to bring in a bill for amending the Rifle Volunteer Grounds Act (1860). The house adjourned at 1 o'clock. LONDON GAZETTE.—(27as Evening.) BALMORAL, MAY 21, 1862.

PAUL'S OA T NEAR The greatest possible e—x----eitetnent prevailed last night in the vicinity of St. Paul's Cathedral, owing to an awful tragedy having been enacted in the premises belonging to Mr. Vyse, milliner, carrying on business at 31, Ludgate -street. The circumstances connected with this distressing event are of a most painful character, and during the confusion which necessarily ensued the following particulars obtained from official sources. Mr. Oxley, the ward beadle of Farringdon, Within, and of course summoning officer to M.r. Sergeant Payne, the coroner for the city of Loudon and borough of Southwark,was suddenly summonedto attend at th e h ou se of Mr. Vyse, as hi s services would be required by the Coroner. He at once proceeded to the house of Mr. Vyse, situated as above stated, when a scene that can with gifficulty be des2ribed presented itself. Two children, aged respectively 5 and 7 years, were found perfectly dead, and Mrs. Vyse had her throat cut in a most frightful manner, and blood was flowing copiously from an extensive wound in the throat of the un happy woman. The discovery was made in the following manner —About 10 minutes before 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon Mrs. Vyse called the servant to go to Messrs. Keating's, chemists, in St. Paul's -church yard, for some packets of powders. It would appear from what the servant stated that she had bees sent for some of the same sort of powders in ti morning, which she stated was for the purpose of poisoning rats. Whether she obtained the second package of powders or not is, owing to the great confusion which prevailed, not precisely known but one thing is quite certain, that after returning from Mr. Keating's, and being in the house a few minutes, she went to her mistress's door and found it fastened. She knocked at it, and being unable to obtain an entrance she went for assistance, and the door was forced, when upon entering the room the unfortunate female was found by her sister, who was living in the house, in a pool of blood, and her throat cut in the manner previously described. She was then alive, and said to her sister, " Go into the next room, and you will see something ; but it is no use, as the two children will be found to be dead." She, however, said nothing beyond the remark that the children had :been poisoned by her, to lead to the inference that she had committed the dreadful deed. The sister did as requested, when, upon entering the room, she found the poor children in bed, the countenance of each not much distorted ; in fact they might be said to exhibit almost a placid appearance. Medical attendance was procured from St. Bartho lomew's Hospital, and also from Mr. Keating's, but it was found that the unhappy mother had inflicted such a frightful gash in the throat, the blood flaying flowed in such a stream as to nearly fill a basin, that that it was considered unsafe to remove her to the hospital, and she still remains at her own house under the surveillance of the police, but there is nu doubt that, by the time this report appears before the public, the unfortunate creature will be no mores. The came for the mother having made such fearful onslaught on her children is not precisely known, but it is said that some time back one of her children died, and since that period she had been noticed, although doing a large and profitable busi ness, to be in an exceedingly low and desponding state. Mr. Oxley has forwarded information to Mr. Sergeant Payne, the coroner, in order that an inquest may be held upon the two children ; but it is ques tionable whether the inquiry will take place until the ultimate condition of the mother is clearly ascertained. LATEST PARTICULARS. At a late hour this afternoon the unhappy woman was still alive, notwithstanding the serious nature of her injuries, and it is the opinion of the medical gentlemen that there are chances of her ultimate recovering. The City Coroner has ordered an immediate post mortem examination of the two children, in order that the inquest may be held with as little delay as possible. is being carried on in the u s u T a h l e m b a u n si n n e e r s , s of the shop and with the exception of the blinda being down in the second and top floors nothing a ll ., pears to have occurred out of the ordinary way. held this day, lN Crt a ir 'nE PLEG F A I T RE .

SIIICIDE.—This morning, about a quarter past eleven o'clock, a woman, named Anne Gedlin, residing on the third floor of the house No. 11, Whitehart-street, Drury lane, committed suicide by taking poison. She was nursing her baby at the time, The husband was in the room, and on looking in the direction in which she sat, found her life less, sad the dregs of the poison remaining in a vessel on the table. He immediately gave the alarm, and hastened to the hospital with the baby, thinking it was also poisoned ; but such was not the case. An inquest will be held on the body to-morrow. FATAL COLLISION AT SEA.—Yesterday the Gene ral Steam Navigation Company's screw steamer Boreas arrived in the river from Hull, and reports having been in collision on the outward voyage with the collier brig Eastern Nab, Capt. Hutchinson, master, which sank in 14 fathoms, the captain's wife and three of the crew going down with the vessel. The unfortunate occurrence took place on Fri day night, in the Cockle-gat, near Yarmouth.
