At the Marylehone Police Court yesterd,l Christopher Locke, tobacconist, of 21, Seymour place, Bryanstone-square, was brought up on a warrant, granted by Colonel Edmond Yeamans Wilcett Henderson, Chief Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, charged with keeping and using his house as a betting house, and betting with persons resorting thereto ; John K eane , grocer, Charles Hall, potman, Winiam Rod wa y, carpenter, and John Trewen, omnibus conductor, were charged with being found on the same premises, supposed for the purpose of betting. Mr. E. Lewis, of Marlborough-street, defended the prisoners. Mr. Superintendent Draper said he had a war rant for the apprehension of Locke, and to search his house. About three o'clock that afternoon he entered the shop, and saw Locke behind the counter and the other defendants in front. As far as the defendants, with the exception of the prisoner Locke, was concerned, he had nothing to say. Locke took up a book from a shelf under the coun ter, and witness seized it from his hand. He found it contained some hundreds of entries regarding the late Grand National Steeplechase. He found a number of other books in reference to other races coming off, with the price of the " olds" affixed to the horses. Ile also found books dated so far back as 1863, on the backs of which were " Mr. C. Locke, commission agent." On searching the lace hundreds of race cards were found in the house. On the cards were the words " commis sions executed." Mr. D'Eyncourt said as it was late (the prisoners were not brought in till five o'clock) be should adjourn the case till to-morrow. lie allowed four prisoners to be at large on their own recognisance to appear again, but Locke was detainel in custody. OUTRAGE BY BETTING MEN.—George Townsend, commission agent, William Thomas, lodging-house keeper, and William Mackridge, jeweller, all well known as betting men, were charged with stealing from inside the shop, 5, Edgware-road, a box con taining about 55., the property of George Richard Glennie, the proprietor. They were also charged with committing a most violent and murderous as sault upon the said Richard Glennie. Mr. Wilding defended the prisoners Thomas and Mockridge, and Mr. Johnson defended Townsend. The prosecutor Glennie was in too dangerous a state to be in attendance. Mr. Cartwright Davis, who happened to be in Glennie's shop at the time, gave evidence of the assault. He stated that they entered the shop and demanded money from Glennie, who went out, got some change, and paid Thomas. All the prisoners immediately attacked Glennie, hitting hi m with their fists. 'they went behind the counter to him, knocked him down, and kicked him in the temple. Some of them tried to poke their umbrellas in Glennie's eyes. Witness was also assaulted. The prisoners took a money-box from the counter s and, having emptied it, threw the box at Glennie, In cross-examination, he stated that he was not in the habit of betting, that he was not mixed up with Glennie in betting transactions, but visited his shop to look at the papers. Dr. Kirby, the divisional surgeon, said he exa mined Glennie and found he had a very severe cut on the left temple. It was a deep cut to the bone. It bled a great deal. The wound might have been caused by a kick. It was a very serious wound, and he had an attack of congestion of the brain, and was in some danger. Mockridge had also a severe wound on his forehead. 'Eyncourt remanded the prisoners for a week. Her Majesty the Queen held the first Drawing Room of the season this day at Buckingham Palace. All the Ambassadors, Foreign Ministers, and Cabinet Minis ters were present. _ _ M. hector Berlioz, the composer, died yesterday. After a long illness, ho expired almost imperceptibly and w:thout suffering. Although he has been before the public for upwards of fel ty years, he was but 65 years of age. We regret to learn how delicate the health is of Elihu B. Washburne, of Illinois. For some days he h a d been confined to his bed seriously ii, but by tho latest accounts the symptoms were more favourable. There are few men in Congress who could less be spared. PRINCE OF WALESS THEATRE.—The perform ances at this theatre were last evening honoured by the presence of her Royal highness Princess Louise and his Royal Highness Prince Arthur. Iu attendance were Lady Caroline Barrington, Sir John Cowell, and Colonel Elphinstone. REVISED CODE. —The Revised Code of Regula tions of the Conintittoe of Council on Education has been issued for 1869.

'I he cOu! sti of exch,nge at lYew York on London for bilis t 60 days' sight was on the last date about 1 81 percept. At this rate there is no profit on the importation of gold from the United States. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 10, 1569. JOINT-STOCK BANKS. Closing Eu.inesz Share Neu, Paid.

Lord Campbell's biographiesof two of his most eminent legal contemporaries have called forth a good many, criti cisms and censures. A fourth Lord Chancellor has now appeared upon the scene, in the person of Lord St. Leonards, who has just published a pamphlet bearing the formidable. title of " Misrepresentations in Campbell's Lives of Lyndhurst and Brougham, corrected by St. Leonards," and the misrepresentations of which the noble lord so indignantly complains include or affect himself. The first complaint is, that Lord Campbell declares Lord Lyndhurst took Lord Derby's first Government under his special protection, " including Sugden, the new Chancellor, hitherto an object of his special aversion." This is certainlynot complimentary, neither is the language in which Lord Campbell escribes Lord Lyndhurst's panegyric of "This Functionary" as he styles the " Pro tectionist Chancellor," Lord St. Leonards. Lord St. Leonards, like other politicians, objects to the stigma of " Protectionist " being specially attached to his Dame now that Protection has gone hopelessly out of fashion, and he resents even the apparent praise accorded to him, declaring that it reminds him of the phrase " H hurts me most who lavishly commends." One passage of this panegyric does not at present apply very well to any of the legal dignitaries concerned. Lord Campbell quotes from Lord Lyndhurst's zealous approval of the former "object of his special aversion," that Lord St. Leonard, was "distinguished by his placid temper and his mild and gentlemanly manners." Another serious ground of offence to " that very petulant, though very learned and able counsel, Sir Edward Sugden, now Lord St. Leonard's," is the account of a celebrated passage at arms between Lord Brougham and himself. Lard Brougham had the inconvenient habit of conduct ing his correspondence while counsel were pleuding at the bar. Sir Edward Sugden resented this, and at once stopped speaking. Lord Campbell, in his version of the story, says that " Sir Edward sat down in a huff,"which Sir Edward indignantly denies. He also declares * the "laughter and applause " mentioned by the biographer as directed against himself to be wholly untrue. " There could not," he says, " have been such a demonstration," and yet we do hear of such demonstrations occasionally, even in these days. Further subjects of complaint arise, including a statement which Lord St. Leonardo does not scruple to denounce as" a malignantfalsehood." This refers to the assertion that he was eager, for personal reasons, to expose the inexperience of Lord Brougham as Chancellor. Lord St. Leonards recounts how the Whig and Tory Chancellors, long opponents, if not real enemies, shook bands, and he " looks with displeasure " on Campbell's life of Brougham. He tells us that when Lord Brougham heard of his refusal to hold the Great Seal a second time be urged him with tears in his eyes to retract that refusal. He gives several of Brougham's letters to him at length to shew that the rumoured dislike was unfounded. On another ground Lord St. Leonards finds cause for die. pleasure. Lord Campbell treats the bills of the Real Pro perty Commission as his own, while Lord St. Leonards declares that one of the commissioners told him at the I time that " Campbell had no more to do with it than his footman." Lord St. Leonards does not measure his language, for he unhesitatingly denounces another passage as "an atrocious libel." He cannot, he says, find a cause for Lord Campbell's attacks upon Mini unless the biographer was incensed by his opposition to him in the Lords ou the relations of law and equity. He ends by declaring his admiration for Lyndhurst and Brougham, whose lives " remain to be written." A mutual friend once said that Lord Campbell had "added a new terror to death " by his biographies, and Lord St. Leonards adds to this remark his own discovery that he has added also a new terror to life, since no man can here after be secure that he will not be misrepresented in his ELECTION PETITIONS. .0- --- Second thoughts are producing withdrawals. Two more, petitions are to be taken off the files—Thirsk and Christ church—which were lately appointed for hearing. The Blackburn election petition will be taken by Mr. Justice Willes on Friday. The particulars furnished to the solicitors for the respondents allege that eighteen persons were bribed to vote for the sitting members. Five voters, it is said, were corrtrptly treated. The names of 128 voters are given, who, it is averred, were unduly influenced. It is further alleged that upwards of 300 hands were dis charged for the purposes of intimidation at several mills. In addition to the foregoinz. it is alleged by the petitioners that 187 voters were bribed by being employed as canvassers, but whose names are not yet known to the petitioners. The counsel for the prisoners are Mr Seymour, Q.C., Mr. 11. James, Mr. Biron, and Mr. Marriott ; Mr. Serjeant Ballautine, and Mr. J. E. Gorst trill represent the sitting members. At Southampton the petitioner is Mr. Alfred Peglcr, who alleges that the sitting members were jointly and severally, as well by themselves as by other persons acting on their behalf, guilty of bribery, treating, and undue influence before, during, and after the election, that certain polling booths were closed before the hour appointed, that votes were refused during the hours ap pointed for taking the poll, and that the poll was closed before the hour appointed by law. Personation is also 'alleged, and the petitioner clainasthat Mr. George Moffatt., over whom Mr. Hoare had a majority of seventeen only was duly elected, and ought to have been returned. The two petitions in which the opening statement has been made are Beverley and Hereford. At Hereford, Mr. Price is the leading counsel for the petitioners. In open ing the case, he said, the candidates at the last election were Mr. Clive, who had for some time represented the city; Mr. Wyllie, a comparative stranger ; Mr. Baggallay, afterwards appointed her Majesty's Solicitor-General ; and Major Arbuthnot. Mr. Clive and Mr. Wyllie had coalesced, and so also had Mr. Baggallay and Major Arbuthnot. The petitioners did not claim the seat. They alleged grounds of bribery by the candidates and their agents ; treating by agents ; use of undue influence by agents ; and a question also arose as to the qualification of Mr. Wyllie. With that, however, he would not then trouble his lordship.—Justice Blackburn said the question would not arise until the result of the petition was ascer tained.—Mr. Serjeant Parry said it was partly a question of law and partly of fact. Perhaps his lordship would decide the question of fact.—His ,ordship said at any rate it warld have to be considered afterwards. Mr. Disraeli's bill has not altogetner done away with the select committee of the House of Commons. Sir Sidney Waterlow, being a member of a firm holding Government contract, is petitioned against, on the groune bat a Government contractor cannot be an M.P Instead of the matter being investigated by a judge, the House has appointed a select committee to go into the matter. The committee consists of the following mem• hers ;—Mr. T. Chambers, Mr. Henley, Mr. Gathorne Hardy, the Lord Advocate, Mr. Headlam, Mr. Brand, and Mr, Pemberton. On Tuesday the committee met for the first time. Mr. T. Chambers having been chosen chair man, the agents veers called in. The agent for the petitioner. is Mr. Graham; for Sir S. Waterlow, Mr. Wyatt. Mr. Graham applied for the production of certain docu ments which might be of use to the committee—the tender by Messrs. Waterlow and Son to the Stationery Office, and the letter accepting that tender from the Controller, the letters asking to be released from the contract, and the acceptance of that release. The tender was in pos session of the Stationery Office. The other documents were in the possession of Messrs. Waterlow, and it was desirable that they should be produced by him.—The Chair man observed that no doubt Sir Sydney Waterlow would be prepared to kroduce the document required.—Mr. G. Hardy said he believed the petitioners applied to be heard by counsel.—Mr. Graham said that was SD, and inquired if he was to understand that the committee would order the production of the documents for which he had asked. — The Chairman replied in the affirmative, and announced that the committee would meet again on Monday next, and that they would only hear one counsel on each side. PoMPS AND VANITIES. —The mayor of a country town was questioning the boys at a ragged school, and he asked them what were the pomps and vanities of this wicked world. He asked them one by one, but they could not tell him. At last a little boy near the bottom said, " I know, Sir. The mayor and corporation going to church, Sir." THE RIGHT OF PUBLIC MEETING IN FRANCE.— A public meeting was held on Saturday night last in the Salle de la ThSvolution, Boulevard Rochechouart, Paris. The subject announced for discussion was the scarcity of employment, but the speakers wandered so much into the domain of secialiBm that the commissary of police dis solved the assembly. The persons present at once made a protest. ATTEMPTED RESCUE OF A PRISONER AT THE MIDDLE,Ex SE,:sioNs.— On Monday, as the prisoners were being removed from the Sessions Ifouse to the prison van, for transit to the House of Correction, a man named Richard Ilazel forced his way through the line made by the police, for the purpose cf rescuing a man named John Smith, who had been convicted of embezzling moneys belonging to his master. A fierce struggle ensued between him and the police, during which he violently assaulted Sergeant Trawin, 3 G Reserve, and another constable. The gates which close round the back of the van were made secure and the prisoners taken away. Hazel was conveyed to the Cilerkenwil Police-court, where he was charged with assaulting the police while in the execution of their duty, and fined 405., or, in default, to be inipri• • 4(4141 for one ,tzre itallwayb, at Mato: and Exeter ...... 100 77 72 at Ca:cayman ..... 103 77 771 771 7 8 tar LA .. 23 Corn a - ull all 21 Dublin & ilellsat J 10 77 78 et Dun„rertli,& AD.J one.

MONTAGUE moved the second reading of the Contagious Diseases (Animals) Bill. He stated that since the bill had been intoduced the Government had brought iu a bill of their own. He had no wish to put his bill in opposition to that of the Government, and Le did not think they would come into antagonism, because they were totally distinct and separate mea sures, and did not trench upon the same ground. He had suggested to the Government that the two bills should be read a second time, and referred to the same committee, but the Government were anxious before assenting to such a proposition that the subject should undergo full discussion in the House. He denied that he had introduced the bill in the interest of the cattle breeders of this country, but on the contrary the question at issue was one that vitally affected all classes. At the same time the agricultural interest, from its extent and importance, de served full consideration. From the late return it appeared that there were 431 million acres in the country either under cultivation or baring stock . , which at £4 per acre —a very low average for the capital employed in agricul ture-gave a total of £183,000,000 employed in agricul ture. He contended that any bill which dealt na-rely with the movement of cattle in England, without giving security and making ragulations to pre vent the access of a new disease, would be one sided, and ought not to be adopted. The on'y way to guard against contagion was to prevent contact between foreign and Eng'ish cattle. If that were done, the trade in foreign cattle might spread to any extent, and there would be no danger to the cattle of this country. The bill pro posed that at all ports where foreign cattle were landed markets should be established, that the cattle should b. slaughtered as soon as landed, and should only be ftllowati to go inland as dead meat. All the eb)ections which had been raised against this scheme might be summed up under one head, namely, that if separate markets were estab lished the price of meat would be artificially raised. If that were really so ho admitted that it would be a fatal oojection, but he disputed the accuracy of the asser tion. During the cattle plague separate markets were established, on the 11th October, 1867, at Liverpool, Mau chaster, Birmingham, Southampton, and in the metropolis. In 1863 the highes price of meat in Liverpool was lid per lb, and the lowest sd. Moat then rose throughout the coun try, and was at its highest in the beginning of 1866, when it began to fall again. The present bill would, he be lieved, have the effect of getting rid of the middleman and his profits, by making thelwholesale prices hi3her and the retail prices lower. Mr. HEAD LAM opposed the bil!, and moved its ro j ection. After a long debate the house divided, when there appeareJ— For the bill Against it 253 Majority against the bill UNIVEIZSITY TESTS BILL The SOLICITOR-GENERAL moved the second read ing of this bill, the object of which was to remove cer tain religioug tests required to be taken prior to the ca,udidate becoming qualified to take up degrees in the great univere.ities. The hon. and learned gentleman s .id the bill was identically to the same effect as that he intro duced last year. Mr. MOIVIIRAY opposed tke motion, and moved that the bill be read a second time that day six months. He said those on his sido of the house were quita ready to ac cept the Cambridge compromise, but they were not posed to go a step further. Sir R. PALMER moved the adjournment of the debate. The motion was agreed to, and the resumption of the debate was fixed for to-morrow, the bon. and learned gentleman undertaking not to bring it on after half-past ton o'clock. The house shortly afterwards adjourned. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. WESTMINSTER. A DISGRACEFUL RUFFIAN.—WiIIiam Phillips, aged 16, was charged with wilfully damaging his mother's pro perty. The mother, a poor widow, said—l can do nothing with this boy, and he has ruined me. He has broken every thing in my place this morning, and he has struck me be fore this. Defendant —Yes ; she's always a saying this sort of thing. I come home from a hard day's work, ask for a cup of tea perhaps, when she goes to come at me I up's with a chair to prevent it, she runs into it and hurts herself, and then says I did it. Mr. Mansfield—ls there any body here who knew any.. thing about the case? The landlady of the mother's house—l know this chap he is the very terror of the neighbourhood, and ill uses hi 9 mother shamefully. Inspector Varnals—He won't work ; there's no doubt about that. He has been for a long while lurking about the streets with the very worst description of characters, and is a very violent fellow. Mr. Mansfield—Has he ever been charged with ill-using his mother ? inspector Varnals—He has been charged three or four times, but his mother has not liked to appear against him, and he has been let off. Ho had a warrant against him only a short time ago. Mr. Mansfield—l shall commit hint for two months to hard labour in the House of Correction. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CAUTION TO LICENSED VICTUALLERS. - Mr. 'Charles Tucker, of the Union Tavern, No. 13, Great Portland street, appeared before Mr. Tyrwhitt, to answer the com plaint of the police of opening his house between the hours of one and four in the morning. He was tined 28s. and costs. THAMES. A PUBLIC-HOUSE THlEF.—James Downey, a labourer, aged 27 years, of Sophia-street, Poplar, was brought be fore Mr. Benson, charged with stealing three pinafores, a child's shirt, a handkerchief, a pillow case, and a towel from inside the London Hospital public-house, in White chapel-road, and remanded for a week. OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE BOAT RACE. PUTNEY, 1.30 The Oxonians went out for a trial this morning, and a rumour that a scratch crew of old 'Varsity oars would accompany them part of the distance, attracted a large number of persons to Putney ; they were, however, disappointed, as some of the scratch men did not show up, and consequently the crew rowed over the entire course. They paddled below the old bridge and turned, slatting for the Aqueduct at thirty six strokes per minute on a bad tide, with the wind dead aft. The motion of the boat was even, but the work rough ; the lift, however, was very fine, and the work evidently it from the legs. They went under Hammersmith-bridge at 36 strokes very faq, and in Conley Reach met with many impediments from the navigating craft, so that the steera L e was d;facult, and tho coxswain had to take a very erratic course. They came under Barnes' Wharf at 35, and flt.ished at 39 strokes, in 22 min. 30 sec. Turning they paddled to the White Hart, and rosted. 111.11tKE7 S-7 lIIS DAY. MARK LANE.
