Sir John Lubbock, the honorary secretary of the Committee of London Bankers, has issued a pro. Posal in a short pamphlet to extend the system Pursued by her Majesty's Civil Service Commis sioners to candidates for commercial appointments. He suggests that bankers, merchants, and directors of public companies should agree to the organisa tion of a Board of Examiners, whose duty it would be to ascertain that the candidates for employment as clerks were within the required limits of age, and that they were not disqualified by physical defects or by want of character or of proper abili ties. It is understood that the arrangements which have been for some time in progress for still fur ther improving our telegraphic communication with India by means of a continuous submarine line be tween England and Egypt, entirely under English Control, are almost completed, and that the pro spectus of a company to be formed for this purpose will shortly be issued. It is intended to lay a cable from Falmouth to Gibraltar, and thence to Malta, to connect with the Anglo-Mediterranean Coln- Pany's system, thus completing the European sec tion of the proposed direct submarine line between England and Bombay ; so that Indian messages 'nay be transmitted by a route altogether indepen dent of the Continental wires. The scheme will be supported by a combination similar to that which brought out the British Indian Submarine Com pany some months ago ; and the directors will in elude representatives from the British Indian and the A.nglo-Mediterranean boards.

James Doulton, 38, who had pleaded guilty to the charge of manslaughter, was brought up to receive sentence at the Central Criminal Court to-day. The learned judge said there was no doubt that, although the prisoner was probably not aware of the diseased condition of the do *eased, he had by his brutal violdnce accelerated his death. Under these circumstances he should treat the case as one of violent assault, and he should sentence the prisoner to 18 months' hard latour. SENTENCE ON MAJOR TIATNES. Frederick Haynes, alias John Walter MUlpine, who yesterday pleaded guilty at the Central Criminal Court to a charge of bigamy, was this morning brought up for judgment. The Common Sergeant sentenced him to be kept in penal servitude for Bye years. THE HARROW MURDER. M. Justice Brett this morning passed sentence on Lewis Midson, 52, who was convicted yesterday of the manslaughter of his wife by shooting her. The learned Judge sentenced the prisoner to be kept in penal servi tude for five years. The prisoner burst into tears, and appeared quite overwhelmed at the sentence. TILE UXBRIDGE MURDER. William Murray was chaaged Ilith the wilful murder of Frederick Redrup. The prisoner and the deceased were both labouring men. On the 6th of July they were seen together in the town of Uxbridge, tho worse for liquor. The &ceased was found in the prisoner's house with his throat cut. When the prisoner was taken into custody, and his clothes were covered with blood, ho did not deny that it was ho who had committed the murder. The jury had not returned their verdict when we went to press. POLICE IN TELLIG ENCE.—This Day. THAMES. EMBEZZLEMENT BY A TRAVELLER.—Wiiiittrn Beddow, also called Baddel, of No. 4, Digguns-street, Clare Hall Estate, Stepney, was brought up on remand before Mr. Pa,get, charged wi:h:embezzling various sums of money he had received for and on account of Mr. Andrew Scott, o f No. 70, High-street, poplar, ironmonger, his master a . td employer. The prisoner, who pleaded guilty, had been for some time in the se► vice of kr. Scott as traveller, and it;;; his business to receive orders and money for tho same after they wore executed. He should have accounted for all moneys received immediately. He had not done so, and two sums of 195., the other of ls. only, were proved to have boon received by him, and those sums he had not accounted for, wiien he was taken into custody by Police constable Lamb, No. 42 K. He stated that the wants of a large family and his slender earnings caused him to appro priate his master's cash to his own uso. He is not mar- lied, and has no family. There were other chargos against him, but they wore not entered into. Mr. Paget said the prisoner had pleaded guilty, and there was no doubt of his guilt. The prisoner was leni ently dealt with. He sentenced him to four months' im prisonmeat and hard labour in the House of Correction. MARLBOROUGH- STREET. A SHAM CONSTABLE.—CharIes Wood, a carpenter, resid ing in Manor-street, Edgware-road, was charged before Mr. Knot with wantonly and falsely representing himself to be a constable, and thereby attempting to obtain lc from a person in Hyde-park. On the case being called on, there was no prosecutor in attendance, and Mr. Knox asked the constable (Poll, 462 A) whether he knew anything of the case ? The constable said the prisoner was given in charge last night by a gentleman, who said that, while sitting on a seat in Hyde-park with a female, the prisoner came up and said that he was a constable, and sent to the park to prevent gentlemen and females sitting th.pre, at the same time demanding a shilling of him. At the station the pri soner said he was very sorry and hop3d the gentleman wouldnot press the charge, and that what he had done he had done as a more joke. Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner, and ordered the con stable to try and get the gentlemen to attend. ASSAULT AND ROBBERY.—Thomas Jones, a thick-set, powerful-looking fellow, described as a seaman, was charged before Mr. Knox with assaulting and robbing William Mallard, a compositor, residing in Sherwood street, Golden-square. The prosecutor, a young man, was seeing a friend home this morning, when the prisoner assaulted him, knocked him down, and stole his watch, of the value of £3. The prisoner then ran away, but was stopped by Police-con stable Hamilton, 56 C, and taken into custody. Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner, who is well known to the police. WESTMINSTER. STEALING A LOVE LETTER.--AN ODD APPEAL.--A very respectable-looking woman, accosting the magistrate this morning, said, "I want your advice. Can a master re fuse to pay a young woman of 17, who has been with hint nearly 12 months as his domestic servant, her wages of £6 par year?" Mr. Ingham—Not if she is entitled to wages. What reason does ho assign for not paying ? Applicant—At first he said he had kept her as a matter of charity, but he had paid her nine months' wages. 13J-- sides, I've another complaint. is he justified in keeping a letter addressed to her ? Mr. Ingham—ls there any value in the letter ? Applicant—Value, yes, to her, of course. It's a love letter. It came from her sweetheart. Mr. Ingham—l see. lie has no right to keep hor letter. Applicant—Can he refuse to give up her letter or pay her wages on the ground that she has robbed him. Mr. Ingham --What does he say she has stolen ? Applicant—Two cigars. Mr. Ingham•—Does she smoke ? Applicant —No ; and I don't believe she took them. Mr. Ingham-11 the master could prove her guilty of theft he could discharge her without a moment's notice, and must pay her up to the hour. Applicant She discharged herself. We consider sh was only a servant day by day. Mr. Ingham—Yours seems a complicated case. You must go t 9 tin county court.. I =I help you.

The case of " Sykes v. Sykes and Smith" was heard on Wednesdayin the Divorce Court--a husband'spetition for a lissolution of marriage on the ground of his wife's sdultery with Major General Michael William Smith. rho case, as stated for the petitioner, set forth that he married the respondent in December 1856, at rslarylebone, and in 1864 they went to India. The peti tioner was there appointed aide-de-camp to the co., espondcnt, General Smith, was a married man, end the petitioner and respondent resided in hit house. In the summer of 1367 the petitioner came to England for the benefit of his health, and the co-respon lent appeared to have come to England at the same time. Some time after their arrival the petitioner was removel to his father's lodgings in consequence of ill health ; but owing to insutlicieney of room in the how, the respondent did tot accompany him. There seemed subsequently to have been some altercation about the respondent's conduct with General Smith, and the petitioner wrote a letter to the General, returning a bracelet that he had given to Mrs. Sykes. In the autumn of 1867 the co-respondent took apartments at Bayswater under the name of "Jones," and stated that he expected his wife, " Mrs. Jones." It was alleged by the petitioner that the respondent assumed that character, end in December of the same year the co- respondent took rooms in Northumberland-street. The defence was that the petitioner was also guilty of adultery, and a private detective detailed how he had watched the petitioner and followed him into a house with a Mr. Pearce. But the case set up by the co-reele•n dent was not convincing, and the jury found for the peti tioner on all the issues, and against the respondent as far as regards Captain Sykes's adultery.

Gurney and others," came before the Lord Chancellor on Wednesday. The bill was filed by the company, now in course of being wound up under the supervision of the court, who sought to make Henry Thomas Gurney, John Henry Gurney, Robert Birkbeck, Henry Ford Barclay, Henry George Girdon, and William Rennie, the directors of the company, and the executors of Thomas Augustus Gibb, a deceased director, liable for the consequences of having purchased the business of the firm of Overend and Gurney. The allegations in the bill were in effect that the directors, knowing the insolvent state of the old firm, entered into the contract for the purchase of the business, which had resulted in considerable loss, that they did so withcut consulting a general meeting of the company, and that no security other than personal security was taken in respect of the private estates of the partners. There was no allegation of fraud or personal misconduct. The executors of Mr. Gibb demurred that the bill was wholly unnecessary ; but the Vice-Chancellor being of opinion that the bill, charging as it did a breach of duty, required to be answered, overruled the demurrer. Sir Roundell Palmer, Q.C. (with whom was Mr. Glasse, Q.C., and Mr. Jackson) now addressed the Lord Chancellor in support of the appeal against the deci sion of Vice-Chancellor Maims. After commenting at great length on the terms of the bill, he observed that this was nothing but a case of alleged negligence of an agent. But it was not even alleged that the agent had disobeyed his actual instructions, and it was left to be inferred that he exceeded his duty. Admitting for a moment that there had been neglect of duty, an action of this nature could not be against an executor. The pro spectus could have nothing to do with the matter, because it simply announced that the contract had been made for which power had been given before the prospectus was issued. The company was formed for the very purpose of taking this business, the directors being authorised to acquire it ; so that the allegation that they should not have done so without calling a general meeting was opposed to the express terms of the articles of association. It was said that the directors ought to have taken particular securities on their estates, but by the very authority given them by the company they were not to judge how far they would benefit the concern by seeking to lock up the private estates. They would be quite justified in not doing so if they believed that they could fulfil the undertakings they entered into; and there was no allegation that the directors knew at the time that the company must sustain a loss. It might be that they judged unwisely in taking the business at such a time, but there was nothing to shew that they did not act in perfect good faith. Could it be supposed that the 0 verend and Gurney directors would have embarked their fortunes and their reputations in this con cern if they knew it would be a loss? The allegations, he contended, were flituFy and luizy, and did not even pre sent all the elements necessary to shew a case of negli gence. The whole proceeding was an abuse of the power of :the officer winding up the affairs of the company. If the bill were allowed to lie, the whole amount in (111C3- tion could be recovered from the same estate tw ice. The company might sue as an aggregate, and every individual might sue for his own personal loss, and all these suits might go on together. Cottham, Q. 0., in reply, said that this bill was fi:ed I y the official liquidator, in pursuance of his duty to the m hole of the shareholders. It was put on the other side that this was simply an action for damages against directors, who, although called trustees, were no more than agents, and an., the proper tribunal before which it should be brought was one of law and not of equity. Lot this was net exactly the nature of the case. The bill all( ged that £1,5C0,000 had gone out of the coffers of the company to meet the liabilities of the firm, and this having occurred in consequence of the breach of duty committed by the directors it► making this contract, the bill sought to make them liable to return that amount and make good the loss so incurred. The directors were liable as trustees, not only for the funds actually in their possession, but for those funds over which they, in virtue of their position as directors, would have control. The plaintiff's case was that it was a breach of duty on the part of the directors to purchase this business at all, or at any rate upon such terms as were actually given. The learned counsel went on to argue that, notwithstanding the contention of Sir Roundell Palmer, the prospectus told against the directors. The Lord Chancellor asked if he was judicially to assume that a business of such credit as this had been could not recover its balance at the time cf the formation of the company and become profitable. The plaintiffs did not say there was fraud ; what then was he to conjecture except that these gentlemen thought the business was good? He did not know that he was even to assume that the business was not pro fitable. There must have been improper expenditure amongst the partners themselves, or many other circum stances, to ac•:ount for the position of the company. Mr. Cottham said they did not charge fraud, to have done so would have prevented a demurrer, and the case could not have come before the court. The case was adjourned till next Wednesday. The Guardian congratulates the subscribers to the Keble College on the appointment of Mr. Edward Stuart Talbot as principal. Mr. Talbot is a double first. ONE VIEW OF THE DIVISIONS IN THE CHURCH. — The Dean of Ripon, better known as Dr. McNcile, drew a sad picture the other day of the antagonistic elements which war within the bosom of the Church. Neverthe less, added the Dean, with all her difficulties, " with her half-Popish doctors at Oxford, and more than half-infidel doctors at Natal, the Church has been blessed by God with a measure of success unparalleled in the history of the world." THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION IN GALWAY.— Captain Lambert is not yet pronounced out of danger. At Galway Assizes, on Wednesday, the Chief Justice asked if the trial of Barrett could be proceeded with, but it was stated that the wound in Captain Lambert's side was so serious that he could not safely attend to prosecute. The trial was, therefore, postponed. MYSTERIOUS ROBBERY OF £9OO AT A NOTTING- 11A31 lIOTEL.—An extraordinary robbery of £9OO has taken place at the Lion Hotel, Climber-street, Notting ham. It appears that a betting-man named Briggs had been staying at the hotel during the races, and on Tues day retired to his bedroom with a large sum of money. On the following morning the boots saw Mr. Briggs's door open, and about an hour afterwards an alarm was raised that the room had been broken into by some one who had stolen £9OO in bank notes. No trace of the missing property bas been discovered. A curious feature of the case is that in another of Mr. Briggs's pockets were £BO in gold and a considerable quantity of bank notes, which were left untouched. His geld watch was also left behind. ASSAULTING A NOBLEMAN.—At the Hampstead Police-court, on Wednesday, Richard Tippett, toll-collector at Shootup-hill-gate, Edgw•arc-road, was summoned for having assaulted Viscount Stormont (eldest son of the Farl of /.lansfield) ; and furthe. - , for having taken a larger amount of toll on a horse than he was entitled to. On the 3rd instant Lord Stormont came on horseback to the tollbar, and seeing no one at the receipt of custom rode slowly through. When his lordship was about ten yards through the bar the defendant made his appearance and told Lord Stormont that he ought to have waited fo a few econds. In order that the penny toll upon the horse might be taken his lordship gave the defendant a shilling, and received twopence in exchange. This he declined to take, and on pressing the defendant for the right change, the latter produced a knife and threatened to stick the horse. The bench inflicted a fine of 2s. 6d. e pAault a4cl on 024 of sad the costa, both on the charg juktaltak2ll... 105 107 91# 101 97 140 10J 111 70 74 IhIPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF COMMONS.-YESTERDAY.

In reply to Dr. BREWER, Mr. GOSCUEN said he had received official informa tion of the suspension of tbo official named. The reasons given were that he had made certain allegations to the effect that some patients had been discharged from the in firmary before they were cured. REAL ESTATE INTESTACY BILL. Mr. LOCKE KING moved the second reading of this bill ; the object was to piovide that a person dying intestate owning lauded property it should be divid, d amongst the children in the same manner as personal property. Mr. BEIiESFORD TOPE opposed the motion, and moved that the bill be read a second time that day three months. The house divided, when there appeared— For the second reading Against it Majority The bill was then read a second time and ordered to bo committed on Wednesday next. The orders of the day for the committees of tbo Libel Bill and the Sea Fisheries Act (1868) Extension Bid were read and discharged. COUNTY CORONERS' BILL. Tha huuso thou wont into committee ou this bill. On the first clause being proposed, Mr. FIELDEN moved an amendment the effect of which was to make the parliamentary list, of voters as tLat by which the coroner should be elected instead of the f rechalers only. The amendment was agreed to. The Chairman then reported progress. The consideration of the Sunday Trading Bill and the Marriage with a Deceased Wife's Sister Bill were again postponed. THE IRISH CHURCH. Sir J. PARING TON asked what course it was in tended to pursue with respect to the Lords' amendments to this bill. Mr. GLADSTONE said it would be most desirable that the consideration should be proceeded with continuously; and as it was not likely that the matter would conclude to-morrow, be would agree to . the suggestion of the hon. baronet and take it up again at four o'clock on Friday, the house not meeting on that day uutil a quarter before four. The house then adjourned. SERIOUS R 1075 IN ULSTER. BELFAST, Wednesday. There was rioting in Belfast in different districts from eight o'clock last night till three this morn ing. Tremendous mobs assembled in the streets, and a great deal of glass was broken. Conway -street and Malvern-street Catholic schools were smashed ; the furniture was carried out of the former. Mr. Orme, the resident magistrate, read the Riot Act. Several policemen were severely cut about ; thirty five men have been arrested. This afternoon all is quiet. Riots are reported at Lurgan, and in Newry three persons are understood to have been shot. THE ENGLISH JOIN!-STOCK BANK. SENTENCE ON THE MANAGER. Mr. Samuel Greenway Finney, the general ma nager of the above bank, surrendered to his bail at the Central Criminal Court yesterday, and pleaded guilty to an indictment which charged him with unlawfully and fraudulently taking and ap propriating to his own use a sum of £666 13s. 4d. belonging to a public company, of which he was an officer. The Recorder sentenced him to twelve months' imprisonment. THE MARYLEBONE CLUB. -- ~. The Marylebone Police-court was crowded this morning to hear the decision of Mr. Mansfield in reference to the legitimacy of the Marylebone Club, as for purposes of betting. Mr. Thomas Russell and Mr. Lawrence Emma nuel surrendered on their summonses. The first, against Russell, for occupying a covered yard at the rear of 22, Henrietta-street, Manchester-square, for the purpose of betting; and Emmanuel, for being the owner and occapier of such place. Mr. Mansfield gave his decision in the matter, and, in doing so, said he was bound to go upon the strict later of the Act of Parliament, which brought this club withi❑ its meaning as a gaining house. II is own opinion, however, was that it was a club and not a place where any one could obtain admission by pay at the door. Here a member is proposed and 14iya his yearly suLscrip tion, and so constitutes hinas;!lf a member. Still he (the magistrate) must go by the act of Parliament. He lined each defendant £5O, and £5 costs. Mr. Sergeant Sleigh and Mr. Scarth gave notice of appeal. COURSE OF EXCHANGE.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and tse short exchange on London is 251. per £1 sterling On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of i;s. 1014 per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold at the above price is dearer In London than in Paris. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight was on the 10th inst. about .09i per cent. At this rate there is no profit on the importation of gold from the United States. A CAPITAL IRISH DITTY.—" The Wake of Tim O'Hara" appears in the current number of All the Year Round, a chaunt worthy of having been written by William Alingham, the best song-Writer and popular ballad monger now living in I) eland. The London correspondent of the Tribune asked Mr. Stevens what the circulation wai of his pamphlet containing Mr. Sumner's speech :—" The country press had 135 copies, the London press 20, and 310 were sold. In all, there have been circulated just five less than 500 copies. Of leading articles which put into Mr. Sumner's mouth what ho never dreamed of saying, there have been who knows how many millions of copies distributed ?"
