Another is now proposed by Mr. James Samuel, M.1.C.E., of Great George•street. It is to start from the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway at Penge station, and follow the course of the line for which an Act was obtained in 1866 by the Chatham and Dover and South-Eastern Companies (but since abandoned) for a distance of about 12 miles to the end of the Tatsfield Tunnel. Thence it pro ceeds to Oxtead, crossing the main line of the South-Eastern Railway a little beyond Godstone station. It then crosses the East Grinstead line about two miles to the west of East Grinstead, thence by West Heathley in a nearly direct line to the west corner of Chailey-common, crossing the Keymer Branch Railway near Chiltington, and the Lewes line near Falmer, running nearly parallel with the latter and terminating close to the Grand Parade of the North Steyne at Brighton. The length from Penge to Brighton i 3 451 miles, from Ludgate-hill to Brighton 52i miles, and from Vic toria station to Brighton 521 miles. The Brazilian Minister of Public Works, in the course of an interesting report on Brazilian Rail ways made to the General Assembly, suggests that the whole burthen of the guarantee of 7 per cent. ou their capitals should be assumed by the Impe rial Government, and that the 2 per cent. of the guaranteed interest of 7 per cent., which the Provinces are now liable to, but which the Itn perialGovernment, as a matter of account, p a y s to.the o companies, should be released to the Pro vinces, " the latter undertaking to employ its amount in the construction and maintenance of provincial roads that would feed the great arteries of communication." The Anglo-Austrian Bank have begun to carry out the financial operations undertaken by them for the Kasehan-Oderberger Railway. These com prise the issue of shares to the amount of 10 mil lions of florins, and of debentures to the arumnt of about 38 millions of florins. The price of the shares is 170 florins per share of 200 florins, or equivalent to 85 per cent., with a State guarantee of 6 per cent. in silver. Lord Clarendon has addressed a communication to Mr. Gerstenberg, chairman of the Committee of Venezuelan Bondholders, conveying a letter to Mr. Eastwick to the effect that that her Majesty's Chargé d'Affaires at Caracas will be instructed to afford him all the moral support and assistance be properly can render ; that application will be made to the Government of his Majesty the King of the Nether lands for a despatch to the Dutch Minister at Cara cas, and to the authorities at Curacao, requesting them to assist him as far as may be in their power, and that the Board of Admiralty will be requested to afford him such facilities by way of passage, but not of interference, as may be at their disposal. The shares of the Don Pedro Brazilian Mining Company suffered a serious fluctuation yesterday through an adverse report received from the mine. It sets forth that owing to a large accession of water heavy and expensive machinery will have to be employed, and consequently a marked decline in the value of the shares took place. Friday next, the 9th inst., is the last day on which applications can be received by the Metropo litan District Railway Company for the 7 per cent. new preference shares, specially reserved to the original shareholders of the company. One principle involved in the plans of Mr. Samuel consizts in the introduction of the system he has long advocated of improved light and fre quent trains, by which he believes a reduction of from 20 to 30 per cent. can be effected in the work ing charges. There would be no difficulty, however, in the adoption of this system by the existing Brighton Company. Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. have received the following remittances on account of New Grenada dividend :—From Baratiquilla, £522 ; Santa Marta, £l6O ; Cartagena, £l6O, making a total of £842. Owing to some unaccountable delay no remittance has been received from Bogota up to this time. BRITISH FUNDS—TWO O'CLOCK. (.10111311,31EXT FUNDS. 0 per Cent.

Lewis, said was instructed in the case of the Queen v. Overend, Gurney, and others on the part of the prosecution, though not in his official character as one of the law officers of the Crown, to apply to their lordships to postpone the trial until the sitting after next term, on the ground that it was now impos sible to try it at these sittings. The Solicitor-General sai 1 he did not know if notice had been given to the defendant on this ap p!ization, but if the case commenced to-morrow, it could not be finished by Saturday night. The Attorney-General said he was informed that if the case should be postponed he would be in: strutted to conduct it. The Solicitor Gen( ral said that being the case he should not resist the application. Sir John Karslake, on behalf of Mr. Gordon, ex pressed a strong opinion that it would b impossible to try the case at thes y sittings. lli< client deeply regretted the postponement, and, in fact, ha l be n pressing the trial forward to get rid of the charges hanging over him. It was a matter of life and death to him. The Lord Chief-Justice said it was very lament able that the case should have to be postponed, and he was sorry that it could not be tried at these sit tings. The case was then postponed until December next on the above understanding. POLICE 11VTELL1GENCE.-71iis Day. WESTMINSTER. AN EXTRAORDINARY CASE UNDER THE MATRIMONIAL CAUSES ACT.-Mr. W. D. Smythe, solicitor, Rochester row, applied for a protection order for a very genteel looking young married woman. He said that the appli cant bad been married on the 22d of June, 1867, and lived with her hu.sband until February last, when ho suddenly deserted her after subjecting her to a great deal of usage. She had since then entirely supported herself by her own industry as a milliner and dressmaker, rind now applied to have her earnings and property she had ac quired by her industry protected. She had recently learned from her husband, who was now living in adul tery with another woman, and had been guilty of a shame ful act. He had redeemed his wife's jewellery, which had been pawned, and bad used it to decorate the person of his mistress. lie had, further than this, had the effrontery to proclaim his shame. He had written, "It miy be a satisfaction to you to know that I am well, and that 1 am doing well—so well that I have got all your things out of pawn. Your necklace and your ear-rings are now being worn by one who is not a pitiable cur." This was in the husband's Land writing, and addressed to a woman whom he had tepeatedly beaten, and then deserted. Inquiry into the character of the applicant was courted if the ma gistrate doomed necessary. The young woman was examined, and deposed to the truth of the above statemext. Mr. Dayman immediately granted the required order. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A Row AT A LOAN OrricE.—Oharlcs Scanes was charged before Mr. D'Eyncourt with wilfully breaking a pane of glass at the Commercial Loan Office, 84, Wells-street, Oxford-street. M• - . George Brodie, the secretary of the loan office, said that yesterday evening the defendant came to the office in reference to an application he had made for a loan, and for which he had paid 6s. 6d. for inquiries. He told defendant the surety proposed was not of sufficient stability, and he must have another name. The defendant then asked for his Gs. Gd. back. He told the defendant that he could not return the money, as it was for inquiries which bad been made, and the defendant then took up an inkstand from the counter and throw it through the window. To appease the defendant he gave him his Gs. Gd. back, and he then said that he would break all the windows ; and as he was very excited and appeared likely to carry out his threat he gave him into custody. The defendant said that he offered a gentleman as surety who was worth thousands, and also offered a bill of sale on his furniture, which had been seen. He paid 6s. 6d. for inquiries, although the inquiries were made within a mile of the office, and then his surety, as was the practice, was objected to, so that he might be charged another 6s. 6d. for inquiries respecting a second, and find ing that he had been swindled his temper got the better of him. Mr. Brodie said that he believed the surety proposed by the defendant was already on his books. The defendant said that when he went into the office there were seven men indulging in a pot of half-and half. In answer to Mr. D'Eyncourt the witness said they charged 20 per cent. for their money. They were obliged to be particular as to their sureties, as many of their cus tomers were very shifty. Mr. D'Eyncourt said that must be expected, as none but persons driven to the last extremity, would ever think of going to an office for a loan at 20 per cent. The defend ant would have to pay bs. for the damage, and a fine of ss. The defendant said he hoped the press would talc notice of the case for the protection of others.

The Times reminds us that when the Report of the Trades Union Commission was presented, a case of great importance in its bearing on the existing law - was still pending in the Court of Queen's Bench. Reference is made to this case—" Farrar v. Close—in the 78th sec tion of the report, as well as in the expository memoran dum drawn up by Sir William Erle, and it was hoped that its adjudication would sit least clear up one doubtful point affecting the legal status of trades unions. On Saturday last judgment was at last given, but we regret to say that it leaves the matter in the same uncertainty as before. The consequence is that the appeal is dismissed, and the decision of the justices of Bradford, which has been challenged, remains valid in law. As this decision was unfavourable to one of the most influential trades unions in Great Britain, the Amalgamated Society of Carpenters and Joiners, and it prejudices in some degree the security of all trades union funds, we may be sure that it will greatly strengthen the demand for remedial legislation. The judges, of course, had nothing to do with policy, and differed not so much upon the general doctrine of law as on the application of a recent precedent. The Legislature, on the other hand, will have to deal with p;ineiplep, and, if necessary, to reverse not only precedents, but even general doctrines of law. Whatever may be the immediate effect of this case, it must inevitably pave the way for a settlement of the law. Whither trades unions have done more harm or good on the whole, and whether they do not raise one part of the labouring class at the expense of another, may admit of much argument. What no one now questions is that combination is among the rights of labour, and most thoughtful men perceive that, after all, the rights of laborr are bound up with the rights of property. The Standard says that Mr. Lowe has not been content to sit quietly down under the laconic, but on that ac-...0un, all the more telling, rebuke addressed to him by Mr. Disraeli, at the Trinity House, for the lamentable want of taste and tact displayed by him at its recent grand banquet. It is one of the misfortunes of ill-breeding, that the people who are offenders on that score can never be brought to see that they have committed any breach of it. Could they perceive their natural bad manners doubtless they would correct them. The man who absorbs the whole talk at a dinner-table fancies that ho is amusing, and anything rather than ; whilst he who slaps you on the back, or drops your title of courtesy on a short acquaintance, little sus pects that he is being objectionably familiar. His object, of course, is to be friendly. The Prince of Wales felt no difficulty in knowing what to say, and made two capital speeches. Mr. Disraeli also, knew what to say and how properly to say it, though what he had to say was not very pleasant. Mr. Lowe and Mr. Bright come in a different category, and between the one who did not know what to say, and the other who did not know what not to say, the genius of good manners would be at a loss to decide how to award the palm. Mr. Bright, how ever, was the more harmless of the two. Mr. Lowe's behaviour was simply outrageous, and we cannot but be well pleased that Mr. Disraeli was present to administer the required correction. Mr. Lowe may rest assured that the slips in taste and tact publicly committed on Saturday cannot be set right by bluster anonymously indulged in on Monday. The public will approve the golden rule—no new one—recalled by Mr. Disraeli, and will much desire, if it cannot insist, that if good feeling should have been annihilated by recent political events, some effort should be made to preserve to us the boon of good manners. When they fail the only remedy is casti gation. Mr. Lowe would have done more wisely to have taken his quietly, and resolved to try to offend n 1 more. The Post observes that the Irish papers which an always exceptionally interesting in the first weeks of July, tells us that the crimson flag is flying from most of the steeples in the North of Ireland ; the " loyalists of Ulster" have been engaged in a fatal affray with the police ; and Roman Catholics have given expression to their feelings by firing Yolleys of musketry and burning the effigy of Mr. Johnston. This is only a sketch, or a sort of telegraphic summary, which anybody who knows Ireland and the Irish can fill up ; but it suggests the hollowness of mere rhetorical professions of peace and good will, and carries doubt far away into the immediate future, We cannot but ask ourselves what these demands for justice, which are dinned into ears from opposite platforms, really signify. Before all, says Mr. Johnston, let us have "com plete political and civil freedom." Give us, says Cardinal Cullen, " Catho'ic education for Catholics." And, if they agree in Lothing else, Mr. Johnston and the Cardinal agree in the definition of their requirements. They ela moor for justice. Good sense, however, might teach them that their notions of justice are one thing and justice for Ireland another. Rightly or wrongly, it has come to this. There were, and not long ago, two ways to the end— two ways in which justice could have been brought home to Ireland. As it is, Protestants and Roman Catholics must make up their minds to Lake the voluntary system for better for worse, and we would Bill/Mit to them, not as deprecating demonstrations wl.ich the Government is competent to deal with, nor as apprehending any serious disturbance of the peace, but on the broad ground of equity and expediency, that it were well that this which must be done were done quickly and (inletly. The Daily irews r( masks that in his preface to his new volume Mr. Ruskin has an eloquent I•assege on what we may compendiously describe as the vulgarisation of the Alps, in these latter days of railways, telegraphs, and excursionists. Is it of tourists or of athletic sportsnie•n that Mr. Ituskin is comp'aining ? It seems not ; but rather of the houses and hotels, the villas and chalets, and chimneys, and railway passenger trains. Well, it is too true, that no work of man's hands can quite escape vulgarity ; only the inviolate solitudes of nature can be called the " presence-chamber of God." Nevertheless, hu manity also is divine, and the human race, at least, has a right to plead in its defence when it is accused of vulgaris ing Swiss valleys or Egyptian deserts—it font vivre. To a traveller who visited Egypt thirty-five years ago, the present state of that ancient country, with its steamboats up the Nile, and its British excursionists smoking "short clays" upon the Pyramids, is not an inspiring spectacle. What Spanish traveller has not regretted the Benedictine Monks in the Alhambra? What Italian traveller has not bestowed a sigh upon the Carmelite Fathers of the Ca- Maldoli? Yet who will pretend that on the whole humanity, whether In Egypt, in Spain, or in Italy, has not been the gainer by the steam boats and the tourists and the dispersion of the picturesque monks, or that the Swiss people are the worse (except in simplicity of cha racter, perhaps) for the popularisation and the cheapening of their mountains ? The plain truth is that the mattrial interests of mankind cannot afford to be arrested by the sentimental fastidiousness of a few delicate shrinking virtuos;, and it may be (we whisper the doubt with all possible sympathy and resp(d) that Mr. Ruskin in his latest lamentation has unconsc:ously exemplified that "pathetic fallacy" which he once so admirably defined and condemned. Tho Telegraph refers to the close of Dr. Binney's ministry on Stinday last, and says that after forty years of preaching he retires to seek the repose he has earned so well ; and in all parts of the world to which the English trading class has wandered in search of fortune, many settlers will receive the news brought out by the mails that leave England during the present week as an incident that personally affects them. The position held by Dr. Binney is that occupied upon a smaller scale by thousands of Nonconformist ministers iu our English towns. The record of their labours is found in the congregations that they collect around them, in the lives of the men and women whom they endeavour to rear in the doctrines and practice of their peculiar faith. The narrow isolation, the reluctance to admit the possibility of godliness beyond the bounds of their own communion, which used to distinguish the Dissenting world, have given place of recent years to larger and more catholic views of life ; and Dr. Binney has taken an active part in promoting this growth of charity towards others. Still, by the very reason of their being, the Dissenting sects remain organisations apart from the mass of the community. They would cease to be Dissenting sects if their doctrines, their divines, and their ministrations ever obtained the same pre-eminence that is given to the affairs of the National Church. It could not be otherwise; it is not desirable that it should Pe otherwise. Yet, from time to time, when a minister of Dr. Binney's stamp ceases from his labours, it is well that the public mind should be turned to the great work which has been done, and is still prosecuted, by those teachers of the common faith who "dwell among their own people." The Star declares that there is one very lamentable and very unmistakable error into which excursionists among the humbler folk in this country unhappily fall. What it is we need hardly say. We do not say that it is universal or even general ; but it is far too preva lent. It is a poor heart that never rejoices, and a modest conviviality may heighten the appreciation of a day's amusement and adventure. But it is a reproach against the working class, and still more so against . the lower middle classes, that they will not on these occasions rely sufficiently upon the healthy inspiration of pure air and interesting or picturesque sights. They are too prone to seek a fictitious and artificial excitement, which may lead to mischief, and is almost certain to end in physical lain and moral remorse. If any comfort could be got by remembering that this proneness is nut peculiar to the poor in their holidays, we may take it. The scene after lunch on Epsom Downs slims that being well off is no guarantee for being capable of rational enjoyment. And the very poor among us have excuses. They are not taught. They lack that tradition of sobriety and self restraint which would be so powerful if we could only by any means once get it implanted. They toil to exoess. And in our great towns they are obliged to live in swelter ing courts and overcrowded streets. Thus you have every physical condition making self-restraint difficult, and you have no moral conditions working to make it easy. All this has very often been said before ; and, alas, it will be said very often again. It is a grievous thing that one cannot even think of the merry-making of our hard-worked people without remembering by how thin a layer of civilisation we are separated from the prof9mid 4trata of butAtim IMI EItIAL EARLIAMENT .11017 SE OF LORDS.—LAsT EVENING. The La. CD CHANCELLOR took his seat on. the woolsack at five o'cic ek. On the motion of the Earl of DEVON the Companies A c t o f 1863 was read a second time. BEERHOUSE BILL. On the .'notion for the third reading of this bill, Lord KJ ITNALIM said ho had an amendment to move, the effect of - which was to prevent tho sale of whisky in bottles labell ad as ale iu Scotland. The spirit so bottled was not sold ry respectable persons, but by persons known as shebeeners. The Earl of AIRLIE thought it was not at all feces. rary at this Mage of the bill to endanger its passing by in. troduciug e. clause of the nature proposed. Earl KIRBERLEY thought it very incumbent to intro duce a clause in the bill which wont' be in effect extend ing the mlasare to Scotland o't the thirl reading. After some further discussion the clAuse was withdrawn, and en arnondaent, suggested by the Marquis of Salis bury, was agreed to, and the bill was read a third time. RUING IN ROTTEN . ROW. The Earl of W. NOMLS EA asked the Government if anything was cox, (emplated by them to prevent furious riolng in Hyde Paik, to the great danger of thosi fre quenting the ride. A case had recently occurred that certai: ly called for something being dune in the matter. Earl GRA N VILLE said it was certainly most &Arable that the :Ale - y of the people should not bo perilled by the furious ridinE of some of the frequenters of Rotten-row. He would cork. , ult his right hon. co:league the Home Secretary on the :Ad ject, hut• with respect to the matter referred to, be was afraid it would turn out that there were two sides of the question. IRISH CHURCH DILL. Their lordships then went into committee on this bill. Lord LIFFORD moved the insertion of a new clause, but Earl Granville said it was at variance with that which had been done on a former evening with respect to the Regium Donum. A discussion then ensued on the proposed new clause, the effect of which was to give manses to the Presby- terians. The clause, after a few words from the Earl of KIM BERLEY, was withdrawn. Upon clause 29, which provid's that where any real or personal property, becoming vested in the Commissioners by virtue of the act, was the produce of moneys given by private persons out of their own resources since 1660, the Commissioners should, on the application of the represen tive body of the Church, vest such property in the Church body; but that where no application was made, then the property should be vested in the representatives of the person by whom the endowment was given. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY moved as an amend ment that the date, instead of being 1660, should be "the seconi year of the reign of Queen Elizabeth." Their lordships then divided, when the numbers were For the amendment lO5 Against it Dlnjority -50 The amendment was accordingly carried, and the clause as amended was agreed to. Clauses 30, 31, and 32 were sgreei to without com ment. Upon clause 33, The Earl of LIMERICK moved the addition of the words, "less such stun in the pound as such owner shall be ascertained by the Commissioners to have been, on an average of five 3 ears preceding the passing of this act, entitled to deduct for poor rates."

Mr. GL ADSTONE, in reply to Mr. M•Evo}, said the Government were favourable to the bill the hon. member had introduced, but it would bo better to postpone legis lation until after the passing of the Irish Church Bill, if that measure should become law, the more so as the subject was one neither urgent or imperative. PUBLIC STATUES. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was quite true ho bad said that it was not the rule for Parlia ment to erect statues to private persons. Government erected statues to Nelson and Sir John Franklin, and these, putting aside Kings - (laughter) —were all the instances in which such a step had been taken. The statues to those British worthics that hid been erected had been brought about by private subscription, and that being the c Si he could not see that Faraday, however eminent, afforded any reason f. it departing from the rule.
