AUSTRIAN VESSELS IN BRITISH PORTS.—An order has come from Austria that vessels belonging to that State which have been detained in the Tyne and other north-east ports during the recent hostilities between Aus ttia and France may now proceed on their voyages unmo lested. At the outbreak of the Russian war the sale of vessels belonging to that country to English owners was considered a legal transfer. The French government would not recognise the sale of Austrianvessel s to our shipowners and they have been lying in our north-east ports, as sailors phrase it, "e a ti n g their heads off." Ph rase to the accident to the Royal Mail Com pany's new steamer Paramatta, it is expected that the nails due at Southampton on the Ist of August, from the West Indies, Mexico, &c., will be two or three days late in reaching this country. According to the last accounts re ceived of the p os ition of the Paramatta, some hope is still entertained that she may be got off. In case she should prove a complete wreck the loss to the company win• be about £lOO,OOO.

THAMES. A MOST ARTFUL ROBBERY BY A HYPOCRITICAL THIEF.—Mary Ann Sutton, a married woman, aged 31, and, up to the time of her apprehension, dwelling with her husband at No. 1, Mary-place, Bromley, was brought up, on remand, before Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing a poc ket containing 50s. from the person of a little girl nanied Rosa Soames. The girl on whom the robbery was committed is the daughter of a green-grocer in Crisp-street, Bromley, and is in the practice of attending upon her father's customers and receiving money. She was so engaged on Monday morning last, and deposited the money in a large pocket outside her dress. In the afternoon she went out with a baby, for the purpose of taking a walk, and she was then wearing a pocket which contained about 505., which she had received in her father's shop. Soon after wards she met with the prisoner, to whom she was well known, and was invited by her to her house to have a swing. The girl accepted the invitation, and went to the prisoner's house, where other children were playing, and got upon a swing suspended in the door-way of the house. The prisoner put her arm round the girl's waist while she was swinging, kissed the infant, and was very attentive to both. All the time this was going on the prisoner was cutting away the girl's pocket, and while she was in full swing the girl missed it from her person. The girl became alarmed, but the prisoner continued swing ing her for some time longer, and then told her to go home and take great care of the baby. The girl on reaching home communicated the loss of her pocket and money to her parents, and they immediately called in a police-con stable of the K division, named Hudson, No. 262, who re • paired to the house of the prisoner, who was from home. The constable and father waited her return, and when she came home they accused her of the robbery. She made the most solemn protestations of her innocence, and called upon her God to witness that she was guiltless of the robbery. While Mr. Soames was looking about the house, the con stable called his attention to a hole in the floor of the pas sage, which was in a very defective state, and observed that it was a capital place to conceal anything. Mr. Soames put his arm down the hole, and discovered his daughter's pocket under the floor, with 235. in it. The prisoner still protested her innocence, and said she was a religious woman, and walked in the ways of the Lord. She was searched, and 10s. was found upon her. It was also proved that she had paid 10s. 6d. to her landlady on the same day. In the morning, when. the landlady called, the pri soner concealed herself, because she had no money, but in the afternoon she waited upon her landlady, paid the rent due, and said that she had just received some money. In answer to Mr. Selfe, the girl said that she felt the pri soner taking her pocket off all the time she was on the swing. The prisoner, in a whining tone, said she was guilty, and that the Evil One tempted her to rob the girl. If the magistrate would forgive her, she would bring up her chil dren in the fear of the Lord. Mr. Selfe—You have set your children a very bad example, indeed. Hudson said the prisoner was the wife of a very re spectable man, employed on the Blackwall Railway, but that she had lately mixed with very bad company. Mr. Selfe—The prisoner has committed a very artful robbery, and I sentence her to be imprisoned for three calendar months, and kept to hard labour. THIS DAYS MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE.

There was a moderate inquiry for calves, at late quotations. Pigs were in im proved request, but milch cows ruled heavy. Per 81bs. to sink the offal. _ a. d. s. d. a. d. s. d.

A Wharncliffe meeting in reference to the bill which the company have before Parliament was held on Tuesday at the offices in the Broad Sanctuary, Westminster, Mr. Wil kinson in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said that before formally moving the adoption of the bill about to be submitted to them, ho would offer a few remarks on the present position of the company. Since their meeting in Februarylast an important arrange ment had been made with the Corporation of Londen, who had bound themselves to take up the company's shares to an extent representing £200,000 for the purpose of carry ing out the undertaking. That subscription had brought the affairs of the company within so manageable a com pass that the directors had resolved to withdraw the Abandonment Bill and proceed with the works at the earliest possible moment. They had heard from unquestionable authority, that contractors of high standing would be will ing to take up the remaining shares to an amount that would place the entire execution of the line within the estimates, beyond any doubt whatever. The bill before them contained clauses for enabling the company to carry their line clear of the prison, to get rid of the Post-office terminus, and to finish the works at the bottom of Holborn-hill, near Far ringdon-street. Another clause sought for further time in order to complete the railway. The only burden imposed upon them was the deposit of an additional £5,500, although they had in the Court of Chancery a sum equal to more than 10 per cent. of the required capital. There were further clauses empowering the company to reduce their share capi tal to £850,000, and repealing the power of the Great North ern Company to take sharee in the company. It would be recollected that the Great Northern obtained powers to sub scribe £125,000 towards the construction of the railway, but the other day they insisted upon that power being re pealed, and of course, as it was permissive only, the direc tors of the Metropolitan could not object ; but why such a step should be taken by the Great Northern he could not understand. He begged to state that the agreement of the Corporation of London for the subscription o £200,000 was completed, and that he held it in his hand. (Cheers.) As they were now free from all contractors, there was little doubt that the company would be able to make such terms in respect of the taking up of the unissued shares as would be satisfactory to the proprietors. He then moved the adoption of the bill. The motion having been seconded, Mr. JAMES BURCHELL, the company's solicitor, read the marginial notes, after which the resolution was carried unanimously. Mr. CHARLES PEARSON congratulated the shareholders and directors on the position which the company now occu pied. He could assure the meeting that the warmest feeling prevailed amongst the Corporation of London in reference to the success of this great public improvement, which, indeed, was strongly manifested by the subscription which they had made. contrary to their almost universal practice, and in opposition to several influential members, as regarded such an application of the corporation funds. Nothing but a deep sense of the great public usefulness of the railway could, he believed, have induced them to listen for a single moment to such an application from any individual ; but, considering the advantages which its construction would confer upon large masses of the population, and seeinfr, that the works could not be carried out without their assistance, they had, for the first time during 60 years, departed, as he had said, from their usual practice, and subscribed the amount men tioned. Subordinate arrangements had been entered into by him and ratified by the board of the Metropolitan Com-• pany, the result of which would be to afford very great ac commodation to the industrial portion of the population of the City, and at the same time yield no inconsiderate profit to the company. (Hear.) After bearing testimony to the great zeal, ability, and vigilance which had been shown by the directors in promoting the interests of the undertaking, he moved a cordial vote of thanks to the board for the man ner in which they had discharged their duties during the past year. The motion was carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN, in returning thanks, said they had met with the greatest possible kindness from the Great Western board, and that nothing could exceed the cordiality with which the two companies were working together for the purpose of carrying out the project to a successful issue. TIIE EXTENSIVE WARLIKE PREPA RATIONS MAKING .13-1 7 FRANCE. (From the Paris Correspondent of the Herald.) From a report of the proceedings in Parliament in the Homing Post of Saturday—no other London daily paper having been received—l perceive that Lord John Russell, in answer to a question from Lord W. Graham, respecting naval preparations in France, stated that he "had applied for information to her Majesty's consul at Brest, who was at present in Paris, and he said he was confident that there were no extraordinary preparations going on ; and that being the case, and there being no extraordinary pre parations, he certainly had not thought it worth while to demand explanations from the French Government." Supposing the report to be correct , two things strike one in this answer. How can her Majesty's' consul, who is at upwards of 200 miles from his post know what is going on at Brest, and by what stretch of logic is the statement of that functionary tc be taken as a fact ? Though I have not been at Brest I happen to know that the greatest activit y prevails all along the coast, not at Brest alone, but from Toulon in the South to Dunkirk in the North. The Channel coast, in particular, is being fortified in an extraordinary manner. From Cher bourg to Dunkirk earth batteries are being constructed at every 3,000 yards. Th e g uns are lying close to th.) ban quette, muzzle to muzzle, and the works are so advanced in many places that nothing remains to be done save to cut embrasures and mount the guns, which are all h eav y 16 pounders, of the ol d calibre. These batteries are so skilfully constructed that they cannot be seen from the sea ; in quiet nooks in the cliff you suddenly see a moun d cove red with turf, and behind it naatly constructed plat forms, with guns lying close by. I don't know whether her Majesty's presen t advisers will consider this fact as .sufficiently important to ask explanations of the French Government. I can vouch for the accuracy of wh a t I state, and I must add, in conclusion, that if her Majesty's consuls at the seaport towns along the coast made a little more use of their eyes, her. Majesty's Government would have long since been Wormed of what is going on. NEWSVENDORS' ANNUAL DlNNER.—Yesterday the dinner annually provided by the proprietors of the me tropolitan newspaper ptess for newsvendors and their ser vants took place at Highbury Barn Tavern, under the superintendence of Messrs. Alley, Brown, Spilling, and the stewards. Shortly after two o'clock the boys, numbering upwards of 300, sat down to a plentiful and sumptuous din ner, after which they withdrew to the extensive pleasure grounds, and enjoyed themselves in various pastimes. At six o'clock a sumptuous dinner was sat down to by the men, their wives and families, to the number of nearly 400. After the cloth was removed, " The Health of her Maje st y and the Royal Family," " The Proprietors of the Metropolitan Newspapers," " The Press," and other loyal and patriotic toasts were severally drunk and heartily responded to. The company then proceeded to the ball-room, where an excel lent quadrille band was in attendance, and dancing con • tinned in a spirited manner until a late hour, when the com pany separated, evidently gratified with the day's enjoy ment The Lords' Commissioners were the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Argyll, and Lord Monteagle. Their lordships adjourned during pleasure. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. PRIVATE BILLS. The Central Wales Railway Bill wi.s read a second time ; the Pneumatic Despatch Company, the Merthyr, Tredepr, and Abergavenny Railway bills were read a third time and passed. • COURT OF CHANCERY. . . - - - Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition complaining of the delay arising in the Court of Chancery. This peti tionwas in favourof appointing additional judges, but he did not agree in that prayer. PRIVATE BILLS. Lord RE DE SDALE moved that no private bills brought from the House of Commons shall be read a second time after Tuesday, the 2d of August.—Agreed to. DIVORCE COURT BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the second read ing of this bill, which proposed that all the puisne judges should become members of the court and take it in turns to sit with the Judge Ordinary, and form what was termed full courts more frequently, by which means, he trusted, the arrears of business would be expeditiously dis posed of. The bill further proposed that when the learned judge thought proper the court might sit with closed doors, as some of the cases that were heard there were totally unfit for the public, and could only tend to demoralisation. Another provision was that, where necessary, the assistance of the Attorney-General should be called in, and thus exer cise some control in certain cases. Lord BROUGHAM supported the bill. Lord CHELMSFORD was opposed to the bill. He thought a separate number of new judges should be appointed, as the time of the judges of the superior courts was already fully occupied. [LEFT SPEAKING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS—(Tms EVENING.) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendments to the Witney Railway (No. 2) Bill were considered and agreed to.

CORPORATION OF LONDON REFORM BILL. Mr. EDWIN JAMES gave notice that on the second reading of this bill he would move that any bill which did not emody the recommendation of the commission of 1854 would be an incomplete measure. TRINIDAD MORTALITY Sir DE L. EVANS moved an address for copy of con tinuation of the correspondence concerning the mortality and sickness of the 41st Regiment at Trinidad, And con cerning the unhealthy location of the barracks in that co lony, dated War-office, the 7th day of April, 1859.-or dered. NEW GOVERNMENT OFFICES, Lord ELCIIO moved for copies of the official letters by which Mr. Scott was appointed the architect of theproposed new Foreign and Indian Offices.—Ordered. SMITHFIELD MARKET. Mr. K. SEYMER asked the Secretary of State for tho Home Department whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to adopt so much of the site of Smithfield market as reverts to the Crown for the enjoy • anent and recreation of the public. Sir G. C. LEWIS said that he had seen the correspon dence which had taken place between Government and the city in reference to the subject, and the latter was ready to meet the Government in carrying out the object alluded to by the hon. member. FEEGEE ISLANDS. A motion of Mr. ADDERLEY, for a copy of any cor respondence which may have passed on the subject of the assumption by her Majesty of the sovereignty of the Feegee Islands, was agreed to. AP SLEY HOUSE. In reply to Mr. BRADY, Sir G. C. LE WIS read a report from the Chief Commis sioner of Police, to the effect that the regulations rela tive to cabs taking up and letting down passengers oppo site the rails of Apsley House had been relaxed. It was necessary that the greatest care should be taken to prevent obstructions at that portion of the thoroughfare in question. THE CHANNEL FLEET.—We hear that a spirit ; of insubordination has manifested itself among the , ships at Portland, more particularly on board the Hero, 91, screw, Captain George H. S e ymo ur . , Upwards of 300 o f the crew, in a mutinous manner, declared that if they were not granted ~shore leave,. they would take it. Now, while condemning such unjustifiable conduct, there seems some want of dis cretion in keeping ships within sight of shore and not granting them necessary leave. Keep ships moving and Jack's contented, but when ccntinually at anchor in the same place, the ship becomes a prison, and helve the cause of discontent. The Edgar, 91, screw, flag of Rear-Admiral John E. Erskine, commanded by Captain James E. Baton, arrived at Spithead yesterday morning from Sheerness. She saluted the Port Admiral, IV, Bowles, C. 8., with 17 guns, which was acknow ledged by the flag ship Victory in returning 11 guns to the Edgar. ADMIRALTY VISIT TO PORTSMOUTH.—Yester day Rear Admiral the Hon. F. Pelham, C. 8., and Captain C. Frederick arrived at the dockyard and , paid a visit to the Duke of Wellington, 131, screw, and Colossus, 81, screw. Their lordships afterwards. proceeded to Haslar to witness the lowering of a screw gun boat from the slip way into the creek. They were to dine with the commander-in-chief at the official residence in the dockyard. Others of the board are expected. The Black Eagle, Master Commander J. E. Petley, is in attendance at Ports mouth. It is believed that a visit will be paid to the Channel fleet at Portland. The Himalaya, troop ship, Commander Seccombe, arrived at Devonport on Monday, from Gravesend, with the 10th Regiment of Foot, returned from India. The gallant fellows are quartered in the citadel. The Topaze, 51, screw, Hon. Captain Spencer, was inspected at Devonport on Tuesday. THE MILITIA. The First Warwickshire Militia, under the com mand of Lieut.-Colonel Commandant J. M. Boult bee, have received orders to assemble at Warwick, on 20th September for the usual three weeks' train ing. The West Kent Light Infantry Militia, after having completed its 21 days' drill, was disbanded on Tuesday afternoon. During the time of drill the regiment was inspected by the lord-lieutenant of the county, Viscount Sydney, who complimented the officers and men on the efficient manner in which they had conducted themselves as well as on the excellent conduct of the men. CITADEL DEFENCES. The fortifications of the citadel of Dover are about to be enlarged, and the estimated cost of the works is £150,000. The walls round the ramparts inside and outside will be raised many feet, the ditches will be considerably lowered, while on the sea front will be erected a large bastion for officers' quarters, on the top of which will be a very strong battery, heavily mounted, with first class ordnance. In the centre of the citadel will be a signal tower, while lower and over the reservoir will be all the necessary building required for such a place, be tween which and the guns facing outwards will be a covered way to proteet the military passing to and fro. The improvements will extend from the .Citadel to the drop, at which places and at the head of the Military-road will be constructed new drawbridges of great strength.—South Eastern Gazette. EMIGRATION. Mr. ADDERLEY moved for returns of the total number of persons who had emigrated through the agency of the Emigration Commissioners during the last twelve months of which the reports were complete, and the names of the colonies to which they had gone. And, of the total cost of their emigration, including that of the agency of Emigration Officers and of the Board, and what portions of that cost had been provided by colonies, and how much each colony contributed ; and whether the Commissioners had any other duties besides those con nected with tho superintendence of emigration ; and, if so, of what description.—Ordered. ARMY SURGEONS. - - - Mr. PATRICK O'BRIEN moved an address for return of the names of the successful candidates at the competitive examination held for the appointment of assistant surgeons in the Queen's and East Indian aru'ies since the year 1855 inclusive ; also the names of the examiners, the place or school of medical education of each candidate, success ful or unsuccessful.—Ordered. ELECTION COMMITTEES. Loid ELCHO, on the motion for going into committee of ways and means, drew attention to this subject and expressed his conviction that it would be most de sirable to postpone these committees until next session. He concluded by giving notice that he would bring forward the subject to-morrow. CORPORATION OF LONDON REFORM BILL. Sir J. SHELLEY again appealed to the Home Secretary not to press forward this bill during the present session, or at all events to postpone it for one month. Sir G. C. LEWIS said that he had no desire to press forward the measure, and he would postpone it until next session if the house wished him to do so. It should be remembered that the bill issued from the commis sion after a most careful investigation, and he could not see what benefit would result from the course advocated by the hQn. bart. With regard to the postponement for a month, that would be useless, because that would inevitably lead to it being put off till next session. FINANCIAL POLICY OF THE LATE GOVERN MENT. Mr. DISRAELI said that he had no complaint to make of the manner in which the right hon. gentleman the Chan cellor of the Exchequer had mentioned the fiscal policy of the late Government. When that Government took office the country was only just emerging from a state of the greatest financial depression of their time, and with that depression they had to encounter. In the early part of 1858 their was a deficit of about £4,000,000,' but notwithstanding it was not deemed advisable to increase taxation, and they adopted other means to meet the deficiency. They also carried out the promise which had been made as to the income tax, and reduced it from sd. to 3d. in the pound. In adopting that course they wero acting in the moat constitutional manner and had the approbation of the country. With re ference to some errors in his estimates it could not be expected that he could have been strictly accurate considering the alterations that occasionally occurred in the sources of revenue and the objects of expenditure. Having vindicated the financial policy of the late Govern ment, the right hon. gentleman next adverted to the by direct scheme of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. raise money The proposition to object, but with re taxation, instead of by loan, had his full approval, The Chancellor of the Exchequer propounded tthweopuhmheotheeortee7toto wrhiaioshe he e th d e id n s o u t m ob s i necessary for th a t , thave realised i a larger in d . to malt, re gard to the third resolution, relatinm ealmg with ine T in n e side h r e ed migh th t t h h e at so e u erte rce in o l f y sum thai £700,000, which he estimated. so near the year 1860 the right honourable e regretted that compelled to increase the income-tax, gentleman was was aware that he was I obliged to though he that step.

HOME CIRCUIT.—CHELMSFORD, July 20. (Before Mr. Justice Crowder.) Chas. Joyce, a boy only 10 years old, was charged with feloniously setting fire to a stack of wheat. Mr. Worsley prosecuted. It appeared that the prisoner had been in the service of a farmer named Willis, at Hutton, near Romford, for two years, and he had misbehaved himself upon several occasions. The fire took place on the 26th of May, and it appealed that a day or two before, the prosecutor had flogged the prisoner for some gross misconduct, and took him home to his father, who, according to the evidence, thrashed him a second time, and he became very excited and angry. The prosecutor went to Romford matket on the day mentioned, and very soon after he was gone a wheat rick was found to be in flames. The pri soner ran away and was taken into custody con cealed in a ditch, and, upon his being questioned, he admitted that he had set fire to the rick with a lucifer match. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty. Mr. Justice Crowder sentenced the prisoner to be confined for one month in the county gaol, and, at the expiration of that period, to be sent to a re formatory for five years. OXFORD CIRCUIT.--WORCESTER, July 20. (Before Mr. Justice Byles.) Ann Holyhead was indicted for the wilful mur der of her infant at Great Malvern. On the 3d of March last the body of a newly born infant was discovered in a wheat field near Malvern. It had a piece of string tied round the neck, but the surgeon who had examined the body stated that he could not positively say that the child had been born alive. The prisoner had been suspected of having a child, but there was no evi dence to convict her of a charge of murder, and, accordingly, she was acquitted. Hannah Foster was charged with the wilful murder of her son at Oldbury, on the Bth of May last. The case was fully reported in the papers at the time. The murder was c ommitted by the prisoner, she being at the time of unsound mind. Evidence was accordingly taken now upon that point before the prisoner was arraigned. The surgeon to the Worcester gaol, where . she had been imprisoned since her commitment, two months ago, deposed that she was decidedly incom petent to plead to the indictment. The jury accordingly found that she was of un sound mind, and the was ordered to be kept in con finement during her Majesty's pleasure.
