POLICE-THIS DAY. BOW-STREET. George Martin was placed at the bar on remand charged with robbing his employer. Ellen Coglen said—l am now barmaid at the Savoy Palace, Savoy-street. I was formerly in the service of Mr. gall, a licensed victualler, the prosecutor in this case. Early in March last I gave the prisoner XI 145,, and directed him to go and pay it to the brewers for Mr. Hall He took the money, but I have never seen him since. Mr. Hall said the prisoner was in my employ for a few days. I engaged him because he told me he was very much distressed. I have ascertained that the bill for which he received the money from the last witness has never been paid._ Police-Commissioner Ackrill said, I took the prisoner into custody, and, on telling him the charge, he said he never Was in the employ of Mr. Hall, neither did he know him. Prisoner—l didn't say so. Do you know anything against me? Ackrill—l know you have been convicted before. Mr. Henry—You see the officer did not say anything about that until you asked him the question. I should like to hear a little more if anything is known about you. Aekrill—The prisoner has been tried and convicted at the Middlesex Sessions. He was sentenced to six months imprisonment. I know him to be the associate of the worst of thieves. Mr. Henry—What sort of character did you have with him, Mr. Hall? Prosecutor—Nom at all, sir. Mr. Henry—lt is a very dangerous practice engaging persons without making the slightest inquiry as to whether they are trustworthy or not. I shall send this case for trial. Prisoner—l wish to plead not guilty. Mr. Henry—You can do that at the Middlesex Sessions. Prisoner—Yes, I know that. The witnesses were then bound over to prosecute, and as the prisoner was leaving the dock he caught sight of his former employer, Hall, and said in a very emphatic manner " I'll give you a pill, old fellow, when I come out." MARLBOROUGH-STREET. BURGLARY AT MESSRS. BURTON'S IN OXFORD STRBET.--LISO WORTH OF PROPERTY STOLEN.—Ed ward Godwin, a grineral dealer, of Liverpool-street, Isling ton. green, was charged before Mr. K.nox with stealing at 39, Oxford-street on the 12th ult., a tea service and a large quantity of property of the value of £450, the property of Messrs. Burton, famishing ironmongers, &c. Mr. Wontner prosecuted ; and Mr. Lewis, jun., of Ely place, defended. It appears that a few days before the robbery took place, the prisoner took lodgings at a house in Newman-street, about six or seven doors of the prosecutor's (Messrs. Bur ton's) where he lodged seven or eight days. The day be fore he left the house a large new deal box was brought to it, and the following morning the prisoner 'on leaving with it, it appearing to be very weighty, he said he was going in the country for a few days, and asked that the room might be kept for him. The prisoner never returned, and on the discovery of the robbery a reward of £lOO was offered by the prosecutors for the apprehension of the burglars, and the matter placed in the hands of Sergeant Lambert, 12 E, who, from information he received, and with the assistance of police-constable John Cook, 198 S, succeeded in apprehending the prisoner at a public-house in the neighbourhood of Fitzroy-square at 10 last night, when he denied ever lodging in Newman -street at all, but on the servant of the house being sent for she immediately identified the prisoner from among a number of others. Sergeant Lambert produced a dark lantern, two jemmies, and two picklocks, which were left on the prosecutors' premises by the person or persons who had entered the store-room of the prosecutors. The prisoner was remanded. A BATCH or PICKPOCKETS. — George Johnson, William Fullbrook, and John Bangham were charged, by S ergean t Langley of the Detective Police, with attempting to pick pockets, and being in possession of a number of pocket hand kerchiefs. The sergeant proved seeing the prisoners attempt to pick two pockets, and then took them into custody, when, on searching them, he found five handkerchiefs on Johnson. On doing so, Johnson remarked, " It's a good many, but not when a chap's got a cold." Sergeant Langley said one handkerchief was marked " D. J.," and another " Sarah Webb." Johnson said they were all his own property. Mr. Knox—Perhaps you are related to the Webb family, The prisoners were all committee for three months each. WESTMINSTER. PICKPOCKETS AT THE EXHIBITION.--JOhll Allen and Henry Eccleston, the latter of whom said he was a very respectable young man, who did not like to give his name were charged with picking pockets at the Exhibition. Charles Cole, 23 C, said that at 7 last evening he was at the corner of Cromwell-road when he saw the two prisoners, and knowing them as constant associates of thieves,watched them. Mr. Arnold—Do you mean to say you know this very respectable young man to be an associate of thieves? Witness —Yes, I do. Prisoner, Eccleaton—l have only been in London four days. Mr. Arnold—How long have you known him ? Witness—l saw him first four or five years ago. I have seen him several times of late, and recently with the other prisoner. Mr. Arnold—Go on with your statement. Witness—l saw Allen go in front of a lady, and Eccle ston close by her side, with his left hand down by the lady's side. Both soon left her for a little while, and went into the Brompton-road, but returned to her and stood as before. Eccleston with his right hand used a white handkerchief to wipe his face, while he used his left at the same time to pick the lady's 'pocket, and he drew his hand out with something in it. Eccleston then touched the other, and looking at me they were about to go away, when I endea voured to seize them both, but Eccleston ran away and threw something in the road. He was followed for some di s t a nce, and was then taken. There was 15s. 6d. loose in Allen's pocket. Two witnesses were called who had followed and secured Eccleston. He was seen to throw copper money away. The prisoners were remanded for a week. -, THANIES. DARING BURGLARY AND ROBBERY.—William Ellman and James Regan, well-known thieves, were brought up on remand, charged with burglary and robbery. Several houses of public ent er t a i nment in Shadwell, St. George's-in-the-East, and W app i ng, have b een b roken into and plundered in the course of the last six weeks. Among others the Town of Ramsgate public-house, Wap ping Old Stairs, was burglariously entered on the night of the 17th of July, and £7 worth of silver, three penny pieces, and some other moneys and an d p 2 r s o s p . e r 4 t d y . 8 t i n e I e o n l . d c T o p w p e e r p c oai r i si i os , f boots were also missing. An old pair of boots had been left in the cellar by one of the burglars, who no doubt exchanged them for a pair of the landlord's new and more valuable boots. An entrance was obtained into the Town of Rams gate by opening the cellar flap, descending into the cellar, and ',bursting open the cellar door with some considerable force. The burglars then walked up the cellar stairs into the bar, regaled themselves with the landlord's wine and liquors, and ransacked a cupboard under the counter, where the old copper coins were deposited. The three penny pieces were contained in a tin box, With the landlord's name (John Richards) inscribed thereon. The tills were taken down into the cellar. Fortunately there was nothing in them. On the morning of the 18th July two policemen, named Tirrell and Hackett, No. 163 and 176, M division, saw the prisoners in Union-street, South wark. They separated on seeing the constables, whose suspicions were aroused, and they approached them to take them into custody. Both fellows ran away. A pursuit an copper coin s was made, and they were overtaken and secured, but the courts Regan contrivedn notorio us to rio t umakes place--" his t escap e the e among d Mint . , Ellman was taken to the station - hous e, and the tin box containing the £7 worth of silver three-penn y piece s, stolen from the Town of Ramsgate were f ound in his pockets.

The London and North-Western, and the Lanca shire and Yorkshire R lilway Companies seem to be once more drifting into a war; and some of the later passengers who arrived at the Victoria-sta tion, Manchester, on Tuesday night,were witnesses of a somewhat extraordinary scene. Shortly before 12 o'clock on that evening, the employes of the London and North-Western Company effected on entrance into the eastern end of the station belong ing to the other company, and removed some of the clerks on duzy, books, presses, tickets, and other Property to the end of the station eccupied by their own company. They also forcibly ejected the clerks of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company from the west end of the station, removing at the same time their books, presses, tickets, and other plant upon trucks to the eastern end. To under stand the proceeding, it is necessary to explain that the Victoria station was originally built by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company, who afterwards sold one-half of it to the London and North-Western Company. This was at the period when the London and North-Western had a line to Liverpool only from that part of the town, and the Lancashire and Yorkshire had a line thence to Nor manton, Leeds, &c. At a subsequent period the former company acquired a rival line into York shire, the latter a rival line to Liverpool. The schemes of both companies have otherwise been much extended to the east and west. The result was that the station accommodation, which was at first ample, became insufficient, and the public were much inconvenienced. To remedy this evil as much as possible without extending the station (it being difficult to obtain suitable land), the two companies came to an arrangement which tended considerably to economise the space they occupied. By this arrangement also each company had offices and booking clerks on the premises of the other, so that all the traffic of the west, belonging to either company, could be booked at the western end of the station, tho same rule also applying at the eastern end. By the proceedings above described this arrangement has been broken up, and the immediate inconvenience of the change will un doubtedly be felt by the public. The following notice, which has been issued by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company since Tuesday, will show how extensive was the traffic which has been thus summarily disturbed:—"Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway. Special notice. The public are respect fully informed that on and after this day (July 30) passengers travelling by the above railway to the following places will be booked at the Leeds and Yorkshire end of Victoria-station, where every attention will be paid to the comfort of the passen gers—viz., to Liverpool, Bolton, Wigan, Waterloo, Southport, Preston, Lancaster, and all parts of the west ; Fleetwood, Lytham, Blackpool, Belfast, and all parts of the North of Ireland ; Leeds, Dews bury, Hull, Bradford, Halifax, 'Wakefield, Hand gate, Huddersfield, York, and all parts of the North of England. By order." With the whole of the facts connected with this unfortunate diffe rence between the companies we are not acquainted; but we understand it has arisen out of the parlia mentary proceedings of the Lancashire and York shire Company, who have recently obtained powers to make a new and supplemental line from their station in Salford to the Victoria-station. By these means they procure to themselves an independent entrance into Manchester, and will no longer have to pay the heavy tolls to which they were subjected over the London and North Western (Liverpool) line. This line, which was much needed for the convenience of the public owing to the frequent and long detention of trains on the present one, we believe they are taking active steps to construct, having bought the houses and land, and given the usual legal notices to the tenants. The traffic of the two companies had long outgrown the accom modation afforded by a single line, but it is said that the London and North Western Company have been for some time past using all their in fluence to induce the Lancashire and York shire to postpone or abandon it. CRYSTAL PALACE ART UNION. The fourth annual prize drawing was held yes terday at the palace. Dr. Read in the chair. The Secretary, Mr. Wilkinson, read the report. The following are the principal portions : The council say, in making their report at the close of its fourth season, they " have much plea sure in announcing its continued success. Whilst during the past year the society has inevitably shared the depression whieh has so generally affected institutions of a kindred nature, still, as regards the satisfaction given to subscribers in the series of presentation works placed at their choice, it has ;maintained the highly-favourable position which upon its foundation was so promptly se cured. The object of the council has been, not only to issue works which in their class should present an artistic merit beyond what bad resulted from merely commercial sources, but, by direct influence on their preparatory adaptaticn, be enabled to give to every subscriber (independent of the chance in the prize distribution) the right of personal selec tion from a series of works the commercial value of which should be of the lull amount of :the sub scription paid. The chief and probably the only obstacle to a great increase has been the difficulty of furnishing the required copies of the works with sufficient promptitude. This difficulty will be immediately apparent when it is considered that upwards of 50 different works were included in the pro spectus of the past season. Every exertion is made to facilitate the preparation of the copies required, but the time necessarily involved in their production frequently precludes the possi bility of their immediate presentation. The popularity of many of the presentation works still continues, and foremost amongst these are the busts of " Ophelia" and "Miranda," by W. Calder Marshall, R.A. ; " The Bride," by R. Monti ; the " Cherub Bracket," by David Roberts, R.A. ; " The Hours," and Arabesque Vases. So uniformly marked has been the public preference for the Cera mic portion of the presentation works that it is in contemplation to direct future operations more im• mediately within the range of that class of art pro ducts, and thus further assist in the development of its capabilities. In furtherance of this object im portant works are in progress, which will shortly result in the issue of a prospectus for the ensuing Beason more than usually attractive. In conclusion, the council assure the subscribers that their best exertions shall be continued to secure them all the advantages which are such prominent and peculiar features of the society's operations. The report of the council having been adopted and thanks voted to the council, the secretary read the report of the scrutineers, and the drawing for prizes commenced. The principal 'prize, a very choice Blen de Roi Vase, by Minton, fell to an Australian subscriber. Original Works, by Foley and Monti, Were gained by T. Brewer, Esq., City of London School ; R . s . Johnson, Esq., Homerton; D. Faulkner, Esq., Ban bury ; J. Penton, Esq., Stockton-on-'F ees ; r. F . Dillon Croker, Esq., Stroud ; and A. Douglas, Esq. Edinburgh. The thanks of the meeting were then given to Miss Ogilvy and Master Webb for their kind ser vices at the prize wheels, and to the chairman, and the proceedings closed.

The SPEAKER did not take the chair until 20 minutes past 12 o'clock, in consequence of 40 members not having been present before. THE NIGHT POACHING PREVENTION BILL. Mr. HADFIELD presented a petition against the bill, UNION RELIEF AID BILL. On the motion of Sir G, GREY, the house went into committee pro forme, for the purpose of considering the amendment which had been previously agreed to, and resumed. On the motion that the bill as amended should be consi dered, Mr. HADFIELD, in the absence of Mr. Osborne, moved the addition of the following clause That no person shall Jose his vote for a member of Parliament, or a muni cipal officer for any city or borough in the said counties or other places by reason of his receiving parochial relief or other alms during the continuance of this Act." Sir J. SHELLEY supported this clause, and contended that the conduct of the operatives in Lancashire showed how well fitted this class were for the exercise of their rights of citizenship; and he appealed to the right hon. gentleman (Mr. Villiers), who was so consistent a Liberal, not to press the cbjectionable measure of the bill. Sir G. GREY said that the object of the bill was not to increase the number of persons receiving relief, but to extend the means of giving relief; and he contended that the measure would not have the effect which was supposed by the supporters of this clause. Mr. COBDEN hoped the clause would not be pressed to a division, and he thought the subject should be left to the consideration of the Parliament in the spring. He thought it would be a gracious act towards the men in the North of England, who were a manly race, if Parliament at the next session took the matter up, and he did not apprehend that any practical injustice would be inflicted under the provisions of the bill for the next seven months. Mr. HADFIELD withdrew the clause. Mr. LYGON then moved the following clause :—" The chairman and vice-chairman of the board of guardians of any union, parish, township, or incorporation, any part whereof is called upon to contribute in aid to anothea union, parish, township, or incorporation shall be entitled to take part in the proceedings of the board of guardians administering the relief so contributed, and to vote there upon, in like manner as if they were guardians of the poor within the union, parish, township, or incorporation re ceiving the contribution in aid." Mr. l• - ILLIERS suggested an amendment modifying the clause. Alter some remarks from ➢lr. Hibbert, Mr. Henley, and other hon. members, the clause, as amended, was agreed to, and added to the bill. sir G. GREY said he hoped the house would allow the bill to be road a third time now, in order that it might be sent to the Upper House this evening, instead of standing over until the afternoon sitting. Mr. HENLEY advocated that course under the excep tional circumstances relating to the bill. Sir J. SHELLEY complained of the lateness of the period when the bill was introduced. Mr. VILLIERS said that originally the boards of guar dians wished to have the subject entirely in their own hands, and it was not until the excepttonal state of the manufacturing districts had arisen that Government felt called on to bring the subject before the house. After a few words from Mr. S. Fitzgerald, Sir G. Grey, Mr, Lygon, and Mr. D. Griffith, The bill was read a third time and passed. COUNTY SURVEYORS (IRELAND) BILL. The Lords' amendments to this bill were agreed to, and the bill was ordered for third reading. HIGHLAND ROADS AND BRIDGES BILL. The Lords' amendments to this bill was also agreed to, and the bill was ordered for third reading. CONFIRMATION OF SALES, &c. BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. The sitting was suspended at a quarter past one until six o'clock. HOUSE OF LORDS.—YESTERDAY. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at 5 o'clock. THE MARRIAGE LAWS, The LORD CHANCELLOR presetted petitions from Yorkshire, praying for the legalisation of the marriage with a deceased wife's sister.

DRAINAGE (IRELAND) WILL. On the motion that this bill be read a second time, The Earl of LITCAN appealed to the noble marquis (Bath) who bad charge of this bill not to press the second reading. It was a measure of considerable Impel tance to Ireland, :Ind embraced no less than 87 clauses, and had taken the other house a considerable time in its discussion. He did not think there was time during the present session to give the bill that consideration it deserved. The Marquis of BATH said he had undertaken the care of the bill on the understanding that it was one to which there would be no opposition. He agreed with the noble earl that in the event of its requiring amendments there was not time at the present period of session to give those amendments due consideration. The order of the day for the second reading was then discharged. SECOND READING. The Appropriation (Consolidated Fund) and the Court of Common Pleas, &c., Bills were read a second time.

UNION RELIEF AID BILL. The bo o° went into committee of pro gress on this bill. /,.. vIL LIERS said that in conformity m ith the wish of the Vase, as expressed, he had prepared a clause to enable Pci°r_l aw gu ardians to raise money to meet a ny excess of expen dit u re with the consent of the poor-law board, which were to be charged to the comm on fund. After a few words from Sir H. WILLOUGHBY, Mr. PULLER said ho would vote for the clause, but at the same time he did not consider it went far enough. Colonel PATTEN thought that the limit of tike muoi ukt which the guardians were entitled to borrow should be re duced from ss. to 4s. in the pound. Sir IL WILLOUGHBY contended that the clause was so framed as to bo entirely inoperative. In reply to Mr. Baasow, Mr. VILLIERS defended the clause, which he asserted was suited to the existing state of circumstances, and that five shillings should be the limit. He had received infor mation that morning to the effect that at Oldham if the mills were stopped two-thirds of the ratepayers would cease to pay rates. However, he did not object that the limit of the amount for which powers of borrowing were conferred should be reduced to four Mr. GIL PIN defended the clause. Mr. DI RAELI said that hon. members were caned on to consent to the proposition before them without having had time to consider it, and he trusted the noble lord at the head of the Government would postpone the further stage of the bill until Monday. Some further discussion ensued, in the course of which it was contended that the borrowing powers should be still further reduced to 3s. in the pound. Mr. AYRTON said in theory he was in favour of ex tending the area of rating, but at the same time he objected to any sudden alteration in the law. Sir G. GREY drew the attention of the house to the fact that the question before the house was whether the cause should be read a second time, which he thought might be agreed to, and then they could be discuss it if it were thought desirable to do so in committee. Mr. COBDEN thought that the house was not in a position to read the bill a second time. He considered that the parties interested in borrowing should be allowed to deal with their own property in relieving the poor in their immediate districts. He believed these bodies would attend to their own interests until Parliament met, and he ob jected to any limit being imposed on the amount to be raised by unions for the relief of the poor. He drew the attention of the house to the fact that the Government had considerably altered the original bill which they had in troduced. Sir G. LEWIS contended that when the alternative was given to guardians to raise money on their own pro perty or to borrow from their neighbours, they would pre fer the latter. THAMES EMBANKMENT BILL. On the Lords' amendments to the Thames Embankment Bill, Sir J. SHELLEY, in moving to disagree with one of the amendments, protested nod: Ist the way in which the bill had been brought forward—ummencing, he said, and ending in a job—and pronounced the proposed street a po sitive mistake. Mr. COWPER said the views of Sir 3. Shelley with reference to the scheme were not sanctioned by public opinion. As to a job, the opposition to the bill did begin in a job, and it ended in the discomfiture of the opponents of one of the most succe,sful attempts to put down jobs. Mr. AYRTON exposed what he termed the absurdities and extrayagancies of the bill. The amendment was agreed to. Another amendment, opposed by Sir J. Shelley and Mr. Ayrton, and defended by Mr. Cowper and the Solicitor- General, was likewise agreed to. The Confirmation of Sales, Bill passed through com mittee. The Lords' amendments of the Metropolis Local Manage ment Acts Amendment Bill were agreed to. Their Lordships' amendments to the Commons' amend ments to those of the Lords' of the Juries Bill were con sidered. Mr. CRAUFITRD moved that the house do insist upon one of its amendments. Upon a division, the motion was negatived by 45 to 12. Sir G. BOWYER obtained leave to bring in a bill to amend the law regarding the jurisdiction and authority ex ercised by the Benchers of the four Inns of Court in Eng land in certain cases. The house adjourned at 5 minutes to 8 o'clock. MARKETS -THIS DAY. MARK LANE. Vety little English wheat was on sale here to-day, yet the demand for all qualities ruled heavy at barely previous rates.
