DISGRACEFUL CONDlXT.—Corneleus Baron and Michael Coyle, two young men, were charge en a warrant with seriously threatening William Howard, of 8, Great Peter street. Compla . naut said - I had these two men and another here a short time ago for assaulting me. They were com mitted for 11 days and their companion for a month. On Monday, after the two &feud:tuts came out of prize'', 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 du it with again." Ho was alluding to having kicked me before. He then told me he would kick my brains out. Coyle said he would wait for rue. I was much injured by these men before, and in consequence I am fast losing the sight of an eye. I have six children to maintain, and I wi.,l to live in peace and quietness. Defendants said that the complainant and his wife jeered them. Mr. Arnold said he could not allow the complainant to be annoyed iu this way, and defendants must find bail. THAMES. TILL TERROR OF TILE DISTItICT.— AN HABITUAL CRIMI NAL.— Mary Alexander, the wife of a coal porter, was brought before Mr. Benson charged with violently assault ing and wounding Louis Phillipe Uhabbert, a Frenchman, of 3, Beaten-street, Commercial-road. . , Mr. Charles 1 (mug, seamier, conducted the prosecution, and said the prisoner was the most violent woman in the district., and had b' en under arrest twenty times at least for assaults and outrages, and was what might be called au habitual criminal, who ought to be put under re straint. She and her husband lodged fur a short time in the Louse of a Frenchman and his wife, and her ha Li is and quarrelsome disposition were such that the com plain:Alt was to m oLliged to give her warning to qu.t the premises, f..r which act she had since cherished the greatest animosiy. She had fr( queutly annoyed and threatened the cowl lainant and his wife, an Englishwoman, and put theta to great inconvenience and loss. Last night she looked ut the door, - and accused the complainant of kill ing hercat and eating it. She remained in the street bawling, shoutiug,and swearing for two hours, causing a large crowd to assemble and blocking up the street. The prisoner at intervals delivered souse thundering rat tat, tats, at the knocker. .At last the complainant's wifo opened 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, " I will give it to the Frenchman." She struck him a tre mendous blow on the head with the stick, and indicted a serious wound. He was stunned and lost a large quan tity of blood.

A. most remarkable change in the weather has set in since yesterday. Correspondents at Dover telegraph that the mails and passengers arriving there at nine this morning ware 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 tcmpora tun 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 France west and south-west breezes aro reported. Rain has been gene ra l except i n the extreme north, and still continues in the sou th , where it has been very heavy. The sky is overcast generally. Tho sea is moderate. THE PEERS AND THE IRISH CHURCH BILL. A step of considerable gravity has, according to trust by t a h c t e h r t e a ct i n p s p e o c s t i i t o i 1 0 1 n o i f n n t noble a l o t t e r r d e r s c , o e f w i v t h e h d o e s , worthy information whi c h we have been decided elrsympathies a on re Bill. At a private meeting of C onservat i ve peers, held on y Friday last, not, indeed, at the residence o f L or d D er b y, but the house of an earl whose name is scarc e ly l ess o f; svonym for Tory championship, it was agr ee d th a t 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 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 Tipper 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 mo otion.

A council meeting of the members of the Central Chamber of Agriculture was held at the Salisbury Hotel, Fleet-street, on Tuesday, Mr. Read, in the chair. The 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 luty 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 theoperation 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 value."

The inquest held on the men killed in the Derry riots has just terminated. 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 Moneriell 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, bilt 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 tLo statement that Cencul Swiehoo has been recalled on Account of Lis proceedings in . Formosa. Consul Sninhoo has not Wen recalled. The Great WeEtern Railway Company recently complet( d. the conver,ion of the whole of the northern divi sion of its ( xtensive s 3 stem to the narrow gauge. During the past mouth tho goods traffic increased to the extent of £12,600 as compared with April, 1868—a result materially attributable to the uuiforn ity of gauge. The Eight,llev. Dr. J. F. Turner, who has recently been consecrated Bishop of Grafton and Artnidale, as sue - cessor to Dr. Sawyer, who was drowned, will preach his farewell sermons at the Church of St. Lawrence Jewry, on Sunday next, and will immediately afterwards proceed to his distant diocese. The Church Congress will hold (as has already been announced) their annual conference this year in Liverpool. The programme in a rough state has been issued. The meetings are fixed to take place early in October, and they will extend over several da) a. Among the distinguished persons already announced to read papers on interesting subjects are the Archdeacon of Chester, Bev. Dr. Blakeney, Mr. Raikes, M.P , the Deans of Chester and It pen, &c. It is expected that about four thousand clergy and laity will attend the conference. SCALDED TO DEATH.—A roan was scalded to death a few days I,a,k in a manufactory of perfumery at Montreu 1, near Paris. The deceased was standing ou 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 HEALTII—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 1,283 deaths. The latter were less by in 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 diarrhoea, 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 Cradley, 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 churcbyard. Last week a Mrs. Walker died, and her funeral was appointed to take place on Sunday. On the arrival of the mourners at the churchward, 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 broko 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 tho pave was being filled, the sexton's son declared that if ho had been present ho 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 the rescue, but was 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 baying 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, hast,ned forward, but only found in the interior of the wood traces of the recent departure of the party of which they 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 an.l 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 rear, 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 19Truer masters. I LYIPERIAL PARL I A 1,1E14 HOUSE OF COMMONS.—Tins DAY. The SPEAKER took the chair shortly after 12 o'clock. THE MAYOR OF CORK. Mr. GLADSTONE moved that the orders of the day be postponed till after the notize of motion for leave to bring in O'Sullivan's Disability 13i11. Mr. BAG WELL asked what time the Prime Minister would give the house to consider the grave constitutional question involved in the matter ? Mr. GLADSTONE said the bill 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 house, by to. morrow (Thursday) morning.. Ile thought that by Tuesday next -it might be convenient to have a morning sitting for the purpose —they would be 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 fit. Mr. BAGWELL—I am perfectly satisfied. The motion having been agreed to, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL . for 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 menced to sit in the Police-court of the City cf Cork. Almost ',from the first day be sat 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 stela 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 had had those expressions under its con sideration, but the only way of proceeding against the Mayor of Cork was by way of indictment for n.isde 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 twoieleased Feniau 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 ho did not think any comment on the language was necessary. (Hoar, 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 he 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 bad given in a local newspaper whit he called an 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 mus, 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 resolved, therefore, to bring in a till dealing specially with his case. (LEFT SIFTING.) NAVAL AND 311LITAY LVIELLIGENCE 40. The half-yearly inspections have commenced at Aldetshotr, 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 inspeci:!g 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 cxneise in review order. It was then exercised in battalion movements by Captains Chapman and Scut*, and in light infantry unve meuts 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 half-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 fast two o'clock the b Ittalion 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 respoet satisfactory. The movement of a company of the 2d Battalion 3d Buffs from Devonport to Ald.ershott 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, 1850.
