The well-known banker, Mr. Samuel Scott, of C avendish-square, died at Nice, after an illness which had incapacitated him from attending to business for upwards of three years. It is under atnod that he leaves the banking-house, with its entire interest, to his nephew and partner, Mr. Edward H. Scott, and that he has also consider ably augmented the provision made by his father, the late Sir Samuel Scott, for the security of his customers.

'They are stated to have been made by a Russian engineer, R ho was prospecting in consequence of baying ob tained epccinicns from the Indians. On account of t he climate, however, the mines can only be worked five months in the year, and the hard and uninvit ing character of the country is considered likely to Preclude any very general attempts for their deve lopment.

DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT.—CoEneIeuS Baron and Michael Coyle, two young meu, wero charge on a warrant with seriously threatening William Howard, of 8, Great Peter street. Complainant said I had these two men and another here a short time ago for assaulting ins. They were com mitted for 14 days and their companion for a month. On Monday, after the two defendants came out of pri_on, they came in front of my door and threatened me. Baron, lifting up one of his feet, said, "This is the boot I did it with before, and this is the boot I will do it with again." Ile was alluding to having kicked me before. lie then told mu he would kick my bra , ,us out. Coyle add he would wait for pot . I was much injured by these men before, and in cOpequence I am fast losing the sight of an eye. I have sit children to maintain, and I wish to live in peace and quietness. Dufennunts said that the complainant and his wife jeered them. Mr. Arnold said ho could not allow the complainant to be annoyed in this way, and defendants must find bail. THAMES. TILL TERROR OF TILE DISTRICT. AN lIABITUAL CRIMI NAL. Ilary Alexander, the wife of a coal porter, was brought before Mr. Benson charged with violently assault ing and wounding Louis Phillips Chabbert, a Frenchman, of 3, Neaten-street, Commercial-road. Mr. Charles Y oung, solicitor, conducted the prosecution, and said the prisoner was the most violent woman in the district, and had been under arrest twenty times at least for assaults and outrages, and was what might be called an habitual criminal, who ought to be put under re straint. She and her husband lodged fur a short time in the house of a Frenchman and his wife, and her habits and gum rehonie disposition were such that the com plainant NYLIS:OJLI obliged to give her warning to qu.t the premises, f,,r which act she had since cherished the greatest animosity. She had frequently annoyed and threatened the cowl lainant and his wife, an Englishwoman, and put them to great inconvenience and loos. Last night eh* looked at the door, and accused the complainant of kill ing hercat and eating it. She remained in the street bawling, shouting,and swearing for two hours, causing a large crowd to assemble and blocking up the street. The prisoner at intervals delivered some thundering rat tat, tate, at the knocker. At last the complainant's wife ope .ed the street door and told her to leave. The prisoner would not and flourished an umbrella in the prosecutor's face. Mrs. Chabbert pushed the prisoner with her hand, and the prisoner thou procured a stick from a boy and said, " will give it to the Frenchman." She struck him a tre mendous blow on the head with tho stick, and infl:cted a serious wound. He was stunned and lost a large quail• tity of blood. lie was carried to the hospital, where his wound was dressed. She was sentenced to two months' imprisonment. COURSE OF EXCHANGE.

Correspondents at Dover telegraph that the mails and passengers arriving there at nine this morning were delayed until noon. The bar at Calais was impassable, and would continue so till this afternoon. It was raining heavily when our telegram was despatched, and the wind was rising. The boat was crowded. The report from the Meteorological Department states that tempera• ture has changed very irregularly, and is highest in the south-west. The winds have freshened generally. In these islands they are easterly (blowing a gale at Holyhead); but over Prance west and south-west breezes are reported. Rain has been general except in the extreme north, and still continues in the south, where it has been very heavy. The sky is overcast generally. The sea is moderate. THE PEERS AND THE IRISH CHURCH BILL. A step of considerable gravity has, ac cording to fiust. worthy information which we hav l e ords rece ived, h been decided . a o r n e b w y it a h c t e h rt e a ct in p s p e o c s t i i t o io n noi f n noble e l m e matter ,ofwthoseirs.yhmrthies Bill. At a private meeting of Conservative peers, Friday last, not, indeed, at the residence of but the house of an earl whose name is scarcely er lesserobfy; svonym for Tory championship, it was agreed that in view of the insignificant modifications which Mr. Gladstone's measure is apparently destined to re ceive in the House of Commons, as well as of the Llgc Derby, d r o e n h intentions of the Ministry, so far as they have been elicited in the recent debate in the House of Lords on the subject of land tenure, it will be advisable to move, when the Irish Church Bill is presented to the Upper House, that all consideration of it should be postponed till a complete scheme of their reforms affecting Ireland has been elicited from the Ministry, and " that the Lords, as a body, deprecate the piecemeal legislation, the hole-and-corner policy which the Premier has adopted." It is stated that Lord Westbury is the creative and originating spirit of this determination, and that his lord ship will most probably be selected as the propounder of the motion.

A council meeting of the members of the Central Chamber of Agriculture was held at the Salisbury lintel, Fleet-street, on Tuesday, Mr. Read, M.P., in the chair. I'he meeting was largely attended. The chief question before the council was the considera tion of the best substitute for the malt tax. This was brought before them in the shape of a resolution declaring the opinion of the meeting "that, until the amount of malt duty can be spared from the revenue, considerable benefit would ensue from repealing the tax on malt and obtaining an equivalent in the least objectionable manner upon beer." A short discussion took place upon the motion, the chairman saying that if the tax were put from malt to beer, there would soon be an agitation of the labouring classes for its ultimate repeal. The resolution was carried by a large majority. The next subject was that of Local Taxation, but no definite action was taken. The following resolution was afterwards - passed :—" That while approving the principle of elective valuation boards, and of a uniform table of deductions from gross value for obtaining a common basis of rateable value, this Chamber is of opinion that the operation of the bill should be limited to local taxation, that the clauses giving powers to the surveyors of taxes are objectionable, that the final court of appeal should be, not the County Court, but the Valuation Board, and that actual rent should not be fixed by the Act as the minimum of gross valuv." aAILWAYS—PREFERENCE 511A.105.6 AND MOILS. et Bristol and Exeter 4 p.cent. 100 86 86 at Caledonian Qrs., No. 2 lOO at Do.

Mr. Thompson, a magistrate, deposed. that Constables Byrne and M'Cutcheon were each two, and Patterson M'Laughlin, Potters, Price, O'Reilly, Reid, and Hanran were each one round of ammunition short when examined on Wednesday night. The mounted man, O'Donnell, carrying a revolver, was one round short, and the two disabled men, Sorrogan and Kilcawley, were one short. The solicitor applied to have them placed under arrest, to prevent " maintaining" evidence, which was granted. Watson deposed that stones were thrown from the Protestant side to Butcher's-gate, and saw a man like a policeman with his arm extended as though firing a pistol. He thought the constabulary caused the panic. Martin, an apprentice boy, deposed that the people did not wound the police ; he was himself on Butcher's-gate an hour. Ferguson, governor of the apprentice boys, deposed that he has been armed with a revolver since the day of the last election ; his life had been threatened frequently ; he was out on Wednesday night, and asked the boys to leave Butcher's-gate. The boys complained that they were not armed well enough ; they did not think there would have been occasion for arms that night. Hancock, who was wounded in the hand, deposed that Moncrieff fell beside him ; he found slugs in his own coat on Sunday morning. Mr. Glover, solicitor, appiled to have Murphy's deposition given in evidence, but the resident magistrates declined for the present, as Murphy is not expected to recover. The jury found that the deceased came to their death from the bullets of the constabulary, and expressed an opinion that the authori ties were to blame for not exercising proper precaution for the preservation of the peace. They believed the police received provocation, but not such as to justify them in firing without giving warning, The Earl of Clarendon has authorised the denial of tho statement that Cunt 1 Swinhoe has been. recalled on account of his proceedings in Formosa.

SCALDED TO DEATH. —A man was scalded to death a few days back in a manufactory of perfumery at Montreul, near Paris. The deceased was standing on a plank across a vat of boiling lees for the purpose of taking out a portion of the liquid with a large iron ladle ; some of the soapy composition had, however, been spilt under his feet, and cause him to slip and fall in. Although he was taken out immediately he was already dead. and frightfully disfigured.

THE PUBLIC HEALTH.—Last week the rate of mortality in London was 21 per 1,000, while in thirteen other large towns of the United Kingdom it was 24. Birmingham is again the healthiest, and Glasgow the most unhealthy, town upon the list. In the metropolis there were 2,165 births and 1,288 deaths. The latter were less by 171 than the estimated number. The deaths from zymotic diseases were 265, the corrected average number being 317. Eight deaths from small-pox, 20 from measles, 42 from scarlet fever, 4 from diphtheria, 81 from whoop ing -cough, 19 from typhus fever, 21 from enteric fever, 7 from simple continued fever, and 10 from diarrhcea, were registered. Six persons were killed by horses or vehicles in the streets. The mean temperature during the week was 51 . 9, or 3•3 above the average. Between the highest day and lowest night temperature there was a range of more than 35 degrees. A disgraceful scene occurred in the village church yard at Cradloy, near Birmingham, on Sunday. For some time great misunderstanding has been caused by the sexton (Mr. Charlton) demanding the burial fees before the corpse is borne to the churchyard. Last week a Mrs. Walker died, and her funeral was appointed to take place on Sunday. On the arrival of the mourners at the churchyard, Mr. Charlton demanded the usual fees, which were refused. He closed the gates of the yard, but these were forced open by a large mob, numbering altogether about 5,000 persons. This • greatly incensed the sexton, and as the corpse was car ried up the steps to enter the church, Mr. Charlton kicked at the coffin and broke two of the handles off. A clergy man, who was performing divine service in the church at the time, kindly buried the corpse, after which another scene occurred. As the grave was being filled, the sexton's son declared that if he had been present he would not have allowed this to have been done. He then made a movement as if to eject the corpse out of the grave, but was himself seized by the infuriated mob and thrown into it, and many of the roughs who had secured spades, shovelled the dirt on to him vigorously. Mr. Charlton then rushed to tho rescue, but wee at once collared and thrown into the grave with his son. The roughs then began to shove the dirt on to both, when a policeman made his appearance and charged the mob, who, giving way, Charlton and his son rose from the grave and made good their retreat. The event has caused the most intense excitement in the place, and pro ceedings before the magistrates will shortly be taken. AN INTELLIGENT DOG.- An Italian journal re lates a curious instance of canine intelligence which occurred during some late operations against the brigands in the province of Naples. A detachment of cavalry having arrived about daybreak at a small wood in which they had reason to believe that, a number of bandits were concealed, observed a little dog, which had been evidently placed on the watch, rise up and bark furiously, at the same time running about in all directions. The soldiers, perceiving that the animal was giving the alarm, hastened forward, but only found in the interior of the wood traces of the recent departure of the party of which tbey were in search. The officer in command, vexed at missing an important capture, drew his pistol and fired at the four footed sentinel, which, with a howl, rolled over on its back and lay completely motionless. The squadron con tinued its march, but a quarter of an hour later, one of the men, happening to turn round, observed the same dog they had just before left for dead on the ground dodging about behind the trees in their 4-ear, as if to watch them. The animal was captured and found not to have had a hair touched by the shot fired at it ; it had evidently feigned death in order to be able to continue its functions of vedette. The prisoner's life was not only preserved, but the captive was admitted into the regiment, and will be taught to render service in discovering the haunts of its forn2§; masters. - - THE RAILWAYS (EXTENSION OF TIME) :T, 1608. • riE NE .X.TH and BRECON RAILWAY COMPANY, 1, Wes.liunster Chan.bers, Victoria-street, London, S.W., 3uth April, 1869.

The half-yearly inspections have commenced at Aldershott, but, owing to the constant fall of rain yesterday, they were discontinued. On Monday Major-General Carey, C. 8., inspected the 2d Battalion of the sth Northumberland Fusiliers, which, under the command of Colonel Kirkland, formed up on the green in front of club house at ten o'clock. Shortly after the forma tion, the inspecting General, accompanied by his Staff, arrived on the ground, and was received with the general salute. He then inspected the ranks and saw the battalion march past in open column of companies and grand divisions, in quick time and in quarter distance column, with arms at the trail. Line having been reformed, Major Car den was called to the front, and put the battalion through the manuel and platoon exercise, and Lieutenant and Adjutant Hackett put it through the bayonet exercise in review order. It was then exercised in battalion movements by Captains Chapman and Scott, and in light infantry move ments by Colonel Bartlett. On Colonel Kirkland resuming the command, the battalion formed square, and the Major-General addressed the men in complimentary terms. The battalion returned to head-quarters at hdf-past twelve o'clock, and the General then proceeded to visit the hospital, canteen, and other departments. At the dinner hour he inspected the rooms and kits, and at half past two o'clock the battalion in shell dress, arms, and accoutrements, testing the subaltern officers at company drill, &c. He next inspected the books, and, lastly, saw the officers at sword drill. The in spection was in every respect satisfactory. rho movement of a company of the 2d Battalion 3d Buffs fror4 Devonport to Aldershott has been postponed. The Secretary of State for War has sanctioned the issue or repayment of ammunition for shooting matches, on the scale laid down in the Horse Guards Circular of the 3d of May, 1856. Her Majesty's troopship Orontes, Capt. Phelps, embarked troops at Portsmouth yesterday after noon, and was under orders to sail in the evening for Gibraltar, St. Vincent's, St. Helena, the Cape of Good Hope, Algoa Bay, and Natal, on a round of troop relief service. Admiral Milne hoisted his flag yesterday morn ing on board the Revenge in Plymouth Sound. Two Prussian ships of war have arrived at Ply mouth. The sailing frigate Niobe, 22, Commander Berger, from Havannah April 7, for Kiel, came in on Monday evening. She is under quarantine. The Endymion, 21, screw, unarmoured wooden frigate, 21 guns, 500-horse power, Chaptain Charles Wake, which arrived at Spithead on Saturday, from Lisbon, has gone into Portsmouth harbour, to be docked, &c., preparatory to joining the flying squadron. The Devastation, one of the turret ships ordered to be built, and referred to by Mr. Childers in his exposition of the Navy Estimates, will be con structed in Nc. 7 dock of Portsmouth yard, where half of her midship section has been temporarily set up in wooden batten frames. The side armour will project from the ship's hull proper, from a depth of six feet below the water line to deck level, some what on the principle adopted in the American navy for turret vessels. The Devastation will be commenced immediately. No. 7 dock is vacated by the Royal yacht Victoria and Albert, now being rebuilt there, whose date of completion is fixed for the end of the present month. ANOTHER ROBBERY OF ARMS AT CORK.

The SPEAKER t ook the chair shortly after 12 o'clock. THE MAYOR OF CORK, Mr. GLADSTONE moved that the ()1...1:As of the chy be postFoned till after the noti,, of motion iot leave to bring iu O'7ullivan'6 D.sabllit - Bill. Mr. BAG WELL asked what time the Prime Minister would give the house to consider the grave constitutional question involved in the mat ter ? Mr. GLADSTONE said the Lill would be sent to the Mayor of Cork by the evening's post. It would, there fore, be in his hands, as well as in the bands of members of the Louse, by to- morrow (Thursday) morning. He thought that by Tuesday next -it might be convenient to have a morning sitting for the purpose—they would Le able to propose the second reading of the bill. It would then be time enough for the Mayor of Cork to pray to be heard by counsel, if he thought lit. Mr. BAGWELL—I are perfectly satisfied. The motion having been agreed to, The ATTORNEY-GENERA L fo: IRELAND moved for leave to bring in a bill for removing the Mayor of Cork from his office. In a lengthened review of the conduct of the Mayor of Cork the learned gentleman said that he entered upon his duties at the be ginning of the present year, and soon after com mencel to sit in the Police-court of the City cf Cork. Almost ;from the first day he eat upon the bench his conduct seemed to have been systematically de voted to lowering the administration of the law, and bringing it into contempt, whilst abusing and insulting the borough magistrates. The expressions he constantly made use of were such as "I am here by the will of the people ;" "My opinion on this bench is as good as that of the biggest orator in the country ;" " I should like to see Cork without a single policeman in it ;" " I should like to see all the magistrates suspended." The Government bad had those expressions under its con sideration, but the only way of proceeding against the Mayor of Cork was by way of indictment for misde meanour, and that would have been a very protracted process. On the 27th of April, however, the mayor, who was the chief magistrate of that city, charged with the preservation of its peace, and with holding up to every man in the city, an example of law and order, presided over a banquet in honour of two i eleased Fenian prisoners, and made use of language which had been received with horror all over the country. Having read the words used by the mayor on the occasion the learned gentleman said he did not think any comment on the language was necessary. (Hear, hear.) It was, however, language uttered by the Mayor of Cork, who was entrusted with the administration of the law, and it became therefore essential that ho should no longer preside in the police office of Cork as a person fitted to administer the law. It was right to state that the Mayor of Cork had given in a local newspaper what he called au explanation of his language ; but the explanation would, he thought, be con sidered by all reasonable men no explanation whatever. (Cheers.) The idea that the wretched criminal who fired at the young prince in Australia ceuld be animated by noble motives muse be abhorrent to every honourable man. The Government felt no hesitation in taking an excep tional course with regard to the Mayor of Cork, and they 1 resolved, therefore, to bring iu a Lill dealing special]) wish • _ 11;s case. Mr. Bagwell, Mr. Bouverie, and Mr. Nowdegate thought it was unwise to make tha subject one so important as to call for special legislation. Mr. MAGUIRE could not give his consent to the pro position of the Government. Ho felt quite certain the mayor of Cork never meant to advocate assitSsina.:ion, Mr. WALPOLE thought it much bettor to wait for further information before they hastily brought in a, bill which might prove a very grave precedent. Mr. DISRAELI said as the Government had thou;lit it wise to release the Fenians, he supposed the Mayor of Cork thought ho was perfectly justified in malziug speeches in their honour. lie could not give his approval of ,the course the Government had thought it their duty to adopt, and, after many years' expezietc the Government measure was the first case he had over known of a bill of pains and penalties brought in for the utterance of mere words, apart from acts. He regretttd that the bill had not been introduced into the House of Peers, in which the regular form of trial could have been gone through and the evidence substantiated upon oath, and when the bill came down to them they would have the measure in proper form. Mr. GLADSTONE defended the course pursued by the Attorney-General for Ireland, because it was strongly supported by the precedents that existed on the point. He thought that the course the Government had adopted was out) most consistent with justice, as the Mayor of Cork being a Commoner, had a right to be judged by his p eers . the Commons and not the House of Lords. With respect to the attack that had been made ho was quite prepared to defend the course, and also to show that it was desirable in this happily isolated ease to bring in a bill to have the executive officers of municipalities elected by their fellow countrymen under the control of the Government. He did not complain sa much of the course taken by the right hen. gentleman opposite, but he did cwmplaiu that in his desire to attack the Government he had outrun the judi cial impartiality he had himself earnestly urged. lie did not think there was the slightest fault to be fcund with the Attorney-General fir Ireland, at.d he was certa;n that no person had ever 110(1 the office who was better able to advise the Govert.ment iu cases of difficulty than Ow right hon. gentleman who now held the office. Nu d Jubt it would ha desirable to have the evidence substantiated ou oath, but there were many precedents of b:118 of pains and penalties being first introduced into the House of • Commons, and on that assertion ho was strengthened not only by precedent but by principle. By the course pro posed a man elected to a high municipal office would be called upon to appear at the bar of the House of Com mons. (Loud cheers.) A legal discussion on points of procedure arose, in which Dr. Bull, Mr. Henley, and Sir S. Northcote, urged that the case should be first hoard in tho House of Lords, as the regular tribunal, whilst the Solicitor-General urged that equal justice could bo done by the course propose(' by the Government. Mr. MURPHY, from his knowledge of the Mayor of Cork, and from letters and other information he had re ceived, said ho was sure the Mayor had no intention of endorsing or propagating in any way the horrible crime of assassination, and that he (the Mayor) had not the most remote idea of the effect of his words. _ _ Colonel KNOX said the cause of the state of things in Ireland was not local, but might be sought elsewhere— they might be Gladstone or they might ba Bright. (" Oh, oh,' and laughter.) Mr. BEIZESFORD HOPE said the independent Con servatives had not the slightest sympathy with the Irish policy of the Government, which had at last come for ward with a direct and manly proposal. They would not look to technicalities or musty precedents, but they would do all they could to strengthen the hands of the Execu tive officers of the Crown for Ireland in rebuking sedi tious language, but he hoped that it would ba understoo I hattheiudependeut Conservatives would support no leader in tampering with treason for the sake of party triumph, which might end as disastrously as certain other party triumphs. Lord JOHN MANNERS said it was not a case of party triumph at all, but a question of the personal liLerty s. f Englishmen, and the regular administration of justice. Mr. HARDY warmly denounced the conduct of the Mayor of Cork, and gave the Government credit for hav ing at last acted with decision. After a few remarks from Mr. Johnston, Mr. Syno and Mr. Esnionde, ' The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for Ireland, in reply, pointed out that before the bill could become law it would have to pass both houses, and that as each would insist upon its own procedure if it thought necessary, there was no practical difference whether it was brought in in that house or in the House of Peers. Leave was then given to bring in the bill, which hal-- ing been done, it was read a first time. On the motion of the Attorney-General for Ireland, it was resolved that a copy of the bill and the order for its second reading bo served upon Daniel O'Sullivan, Mayor of Cork, and that the Attorney-General for Ireland be ordered to adduce evidence in support of the said bill on the second reading thereof. HYPOTLIEC ABOLITION (SCOTLAND) BILL. Mr. CARNEGIE moved the second reading of this Lord ELCIIO, as an amendment, moved that pending the consideration of the whole question of the law of hypothec as at present existing in Seotland and other countries, further consideration of the bill he delayed. Mr. CAMERON was addressing the house at a quarter to six, when the debate was stopped in accordance with the standing orders. The house shortly afterwards adjourned.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY. —At the Surrey Sessions, yesterday, Bridget Slater, 21, was indicted for stealing a silver watch from the person of William Brown, iu the Old Kent-road. The prosecutor accidentally met the prisoner in a pubic-house, and she followed hint into the street. Ile was then foolish enough to show her the watch, which she snatched from his band, and rau off. She was found guilty, and, a previous conviction having been proved, was sentenced to seven years' penal servitude.
