With regard to the pending Telegraphs Bill, a correspondent suggests a point affecting the pro posed monopoly clauses which requires atte n ti on. Ihe owners of submarine cables must, it is con tended, have power to connect them with the Government system of telegraphs unless the Post- Ma ster -General will undertake to make the con nexion. In all probability a large number of sub rnarine telegraphs will touch our shores, " and if the Government had power to refuse to make the connexion or to dictate terms, great injury to the public might ensue."

Gardner, Oxheys, Preston, was held on Tuesday, when it appeared from the statement submitted that the liabilities are about £19,000, and the assets £10,000; but there is only about £2OO due to general creditors ; the rest is owing principally I "Y to the P res t on B an k rn d t h e assignees of Mtssrs. 4.4ive.„._ and Thorpe.

The court was densely crowded on the commence meat of the proceedings. At half-past twelve Mr. Gill appeared on behalf of Lord Carington, and applied for an adjournment under the charge of common assault. for which a true bill bad been found against his lordship by the grand jury at the Middlesex sessions had been decided upon. He stated at some length that his view of the law was that the action for libel ought to be postponed until the criminal case had been dealt with. Mr. Giffard, Q.C., opposed the application. Mr. Knox said neither charge had been proved against Lord Carington, and the charge of perjury must proceed. shall give the result in a later edition.] PARIS CORRESPONDENCE. WEDNESDAY. The papers continue to cannonade fiercely at the shut ng of the Corps L6gislatif ; but the strife will not last ong. It is excessively hot—a very serious bar to high politics. The deputies themselves see that there is nothing to be done, and they are accordingly leaving the capital, so that the fire of French rage must soon die out for m ant of fuel, though we must expect it to be rekindled in earnest whin the session opens again in October. The Moderate Liberals have held their meeting, the result of which I notified yesterday. They behaved with great forbearance, resolving not to put forth any manifesto, but - , persisting in the policy which gave birth to their demand for Ministerial responsi bility, to simply adjourn till Parliament meets again. The Extreme Left, too, has had its meeting, but has de cided upon nothing. Discord reigned in the camp. Thiers had one project, Pelletan another, Simon another, and Ferry a fourth. Between these schemes the deputies remained hopelessly at issue. M. Thiers wanted to lay a declara tion before the country, but his draft was rather of a mild tone, artfully couched to draw over some of the Mode rates. The " irreconcileablea " would, therefore, have nothing to do with it. These are beginning to be called to account by the revolutionary electors of Earis, Lyons, and Marseilles. They were sent to the Corps L4gislatif to destroy the Empire, and so far they have not made a step in that desirable direction. The Liberal papers are not disposed to be satisfied with anything just now, and, accordingly, they are complain. ing of the appointment of M. Rouher to the Presidency of the Senate. M. Rouher, argues the Temps, went out of office in consequence of the Emperor's reforms. The details of those reforms must be arranged by the Senate. Is it likely that the newly-elected President will shew himself very friendly to the programme of change which deprived him of power? M. Thiers seems to have fairly given up his Orleanist proclivities, and to have finally joined the ranks of the Extreme Left. No doubt he is still an Orleanist at heart, no doubt there are many Orleanists and Legitimists at heart, but they find the practical success of their principles beyond hope, and they are accordingly coalescing with other political sections. Thus the complexity of French parties has been consider. ably simplified since the last election. There are now only three worth taking into account. There is the Right, or the thick and thin supporters of the Empire; the Left Centre, or Moderate Liberals, including the many shades of politicians to be found amongst the 116 who rigned the demand for Ministerial responsibility ; and the Extreme Left, the hot and strong opponents of the Empire. This is the smallest of the three, but it presents by far the greatest array of talent. Thiers, Favre, and i3ambetta have no rivals in oratory. Such are French parties at present. There is, however, a fourth party, but as it embraces only one deputy, it need not be taken into much account. M. Raspail is a party by himself. He will not join the Left—they are so excessively mild ! He, there fore, carries on the war against despotism on his own account. Every day since the Chamber has been pro rogued has be thought it his duty to protest against that arbitrary act by visiting the empty benches. He sits for about ten minutes, glares fiercely at the deserted chair of the President, soliloquises a little, and then disappears. M. Raspail is the oldest member of the House. If the Emperor's Message 'come into effect, and the Chamber elect its own President, he, as the " father," will be called to the chair pro. tem. the Empress is thinking of setting up a "retreat" for workwomen. According to her Majesty's plan, poor women of every calling are to pay a monthly sum to the funds of the retreat. When they grow old they will be permitted to enter the home, where they will enjoy every moderate comfort, as well as perfect freedom. " The Empress," says the Liberte, " is favourable to the English system, which is averse to gratuitous benevolence, and which goes on the principle of everyone reaping that which he or she has sowed." The Sunday Closing Movement has given the to rather a curious action at the Tribunal of Commerce. The assistants of the ready-made clothes shops in Paris recently combined to obtain the closing of those establishments on Sundays, and for that purpose formed an association under the presidency of M. Doucet, director of the journal Lc Commerce. The majority of the masters acceded to the desire of their young men, and notices were inserted in that journal, as well as in the Pefnrme Francais, announcing that all the firms in that trade had agreed to discontinue business on Sundays. This statement was not, however, wholly true. Some of the shops still remained open, and the proprietor of one found his business seriously diminish in consequence of the notice that all were to be shut. An action was therefore brought to compel the_directors of these two papers to suppress the announcement. Judg ment has been given to this effect, and the defendants, moreover, are compelled to pay for the advertise/mot of tho verdict, ~~ THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 22, 1869. SH.IRE LIST.

The Lord Mayor of Dublin, accompanied by Alderman 31`Swiney, J.P., and Sir John Gray, M.P., representa tive of the North City Ward, with the Town Clerk and the officers of state, including the sword bearer, mace bearer, marshal, and chief constable, proceeded in state to the Ifouse of Commons on Tuesday to present a petition at the bar of the house in favour of the Govern. ment Church Bill, and against the mutilation by the Lords. The Lord Mayor was accommodated by the private Secretary of th e Sp ea k er w i t h the use of his own private room, and immediately after prayers proceeded to the bar and presented the petition, which the Clerk of the House read at the table. The I.Ord Mayor, his State officers, and the other members of the council soon after wards assembled in the Speaker's Library, for the occa hion of presenting an address to the Premier. At four o'clock Mr. Gladstone, who was accompanied by Mr. G. C. Glyn, M.P., and Sir John Gray, M.P., having presented the Lord Mayor, Alderman M'Swiney, and the Town Clerk, the Lord Mayor stated that he arrived in London that morning in accordance with the instructions of the corporation of the metropolitan city of Ireland, to present a petition to the House of Commons, praying the House to pass the Irish Church Bill in an unmutilated form. He had performed that duty, and would shortly take steps to have a similar petition presented to the House of Lords. lie and the municipal representatives who accompanied him desired to complete their mission by tendering their homage to him . personally as the foremost champion of religious equality, and the head of that Government which so consistently supported the principles of religious liberty. Mr. GLADSTONE said : My Lord Mayor, I cordially wel come you to London. This is but one, yet a most dis tinguished and honourable one, of many addresses and expressions of support we have received. Indeed, we desire no credit for the firmness we have shewn for the country at large. The great nation, made up of the 'three kingdoms of England, Ireland, and Scotland, has definitely pronounced its opinion. The members of the House of Commons, as you well observe in your address, have with unexampled loyalty and devotion given us their confidence and sup port. We therefore could not, and I may add, we dare not, deviate from the principle so emphatically pronounced by the country and endorsed by the representatives of the people chosen last autumn at the general election. We will adhere to the same policy we have heretofore adopted. We believe the well being of the country and the peace of Ireland depend upon this being effectually carried out, and I can assure you that as we have done hitherto so we will do in the future. We will persevere to the end. No words that I can add can more strongly indicate our fixedness of purpose. OIODINA.ItY dliaxiES AliD STOCKS.

Idle eveninz together . and saw the apparition of a be!oved friend clad in beauti• ful drapery pass through the room, and the spirit recognised them. Ilsiu Friswell declared that he had witnessed on one oec:ision that which appeared to be diabolic possession of several persons in a room ; that he by abjuration causer! the Ill.n& phenomena to censer that he had seen other phenomena not of that character. In answer to a question, gave you seen mesmeric will-power exercised without any innt•cation ? be stated he had not any such experierce. I 1 is answer amused several persons present who Lad seer memerie pheLornena in many phases. Mr. J. S. L'erghei►n stated that he was accustomed tc the phenomena arising in mesmerism and biology, and that persons unacquainted with them should not impe. riously denounce Fp iri tualistic phenomena as diabolic till they had made themselves practically acquainted with the unseen powers of their natural life ; that he had seen spiritual phenomena, and that he in one instance had seen a shoeblack close to his otlice "possessed ;" that he put the crowd back quietly, took the boy's hand, and firmly requested (mentally) that the spirit leave. At once it did so, and the boy was at once restored to his right mind. The Countess of Pomare stated it was not fair and not consonant with the character of the Deity, that all spiritual beings not Trinitarians should be considered diabolical, or that His ministering spirits should be of the same grade. A young lady in Maine poisoned herself recently, And the coroner's jury found a verdict that she came to her death "by having taken a dose of arsenic for the purpose of beautifying her complexion." ABSENT.—Robert &Anson used to sit at his Open window on the ground floor, as deep in geometry as a Robert Simson ought to be. There he would be accosted by a beggar ; he would rouse himself, hear a few worde of the story, snake his donation, and dive. Some wags one day stopped a mendicant on his way to the window with, " Now, do as we tell you, and you will get some. thing from that gentleman and a shilling from us besides. He will ask you who you are, and you will say, " Robert Simson, son of John Simson, of Kirtonbill." The man did as he was told. Sims on gave him a coin, and dropped off. He soon roused himself, and said, "Robert Simeon ! son of John Simson, of Kirtonhill ! why that is myself ! That man must be an impostor !" CHAMPAGNE BETS.—At the City of London Court, before Mr. R. M. Kerr, an action ("Laybourne v. Trotman") was brought, on Wednesday, to recover a wine bill, and plaintiff deposed that the goods charged for had been delivered to the defendant. Defendant stated that he did not order the wine for which he was charged. The fact was, the plaintiff carried on busi ness as a publican, and a good deal of betting went on in his house. On one occasion there was a billiard match, and defendant betted half a dozen of champagne, which he lost. He never ordered the wine, but it was sent into the room, and consumed by the company. Plaintiff : You had two dozen of claret. Defendant : That you sent sue in return for a picture I gave you. —His Honour : You hear what he says as to the champange Plaintiff : Yes. It is quite true there was a billiard match, and betting was going on. Defendant bet half a dozen of champagne, and as he lost he bad to pay.—Defendant : You say this was for goods ordered, but I never ordered any. There has been gambling in the house.—His Honour: You appear to have been as bad as he was. Defendant: Yes, I am sorry to say so ; but you must remember this was two years and a half ago. I never ordered the claret.— His Honour said there was a flat contradiction as to the claret, and plaintiff could not recover for the champagne, —Verdict for defendant. ANOTHER RIFLE FOR OUR ARMY.-NOtiVith. Landing that the Secretary of State for War stated a short time since that the Henry-Martini rifle would alone be tried at present by the army, it is stated to be the intention of the War Department to have the " Sharp " American rifle put to a test. In the American civil war the " Sharp" was the favourite arm with the men of the Northern army. It has been recently altered and improved. The arrangement for actuating the breech-block is said to be exceedingly simple. The hammer falls upon a sliding bolt contained in the breech-block, which shifts up and down with it, as the breech is open or closed. The bolt, however, is pre vented from coming in contact with the end of a cartridge by a ridge which runs along the head of the breech, and which falls into a slot only when the block is thrown quite home. It is thus impossible to discharge the rifle until it is closed and the cartridge covered by the breech-block. The extractor is a lever, which forcibly ejects the cartridge. It was found that although more than 300,000 shots had been fired with this rifle in the course of official inspection at Washington, no casualty occurred. In facility for rapid firing, the " Sharp "is saict.to ezokett)aer tb9_aqccile•gun, tke gAidtr, or th0:1 At the last meeting of the Spiritualist Committee of the Dialectical Society, M. Chevalier narrated many instances of phenomena produced on his merely placing his finger on a tripod table ; that mental questions put by others had been often correctly answered ; that sometimes evil spirits bad come, and by adjuring them in name of the " Father, Son, and Holy Ghost," the phenomena had ceased. Mr. T. Percival stated that for many years prior to Spiritualism in its present phase being mentioned he 'WAr subject to supernatui al influences ; that once, anxious to decide n hether he should enter as a student at Cambridge, Oxford, or Dublin, he bad a vision. He saw a collegiate room. In it were himself and a person peculiarly robed. Certain incidents took place, and the visitor vanished. He decided on going to Oxford, when he was puzzled as to the Thirty-nine Articles. A friend with whom he con• versed invited him to his chambers. He went, and found he was in the room he had seen in his vision, his friend dressed in the same manner, and all the incidents occurred as foreseen. Another incident was narrated as to three persons seen in vision during a journey, which was Yeri• fled in a few hours. Mr. Percival considered the visions were given to satisfy his mind that he was in the right path, he having prayerfully asked guidance.

The SPEAKER; said it was necessary that the hon. member t,hould give notices of his intention to do so. Mr. MILBANK sail be wished to put the question pn a po . nt of order awl privilege. The SPEAR Eli informed the bon. rwmber that it was neither a point of order nor a point of privilege, and such a question as that of the Lou. member could not with pro iety be addressed to him. The hon. member ought to be aware that this house is not supposed to be cognizant of anything that passed iu the course of any debate which took place in another place, but quite the ceutrary, HYPOTHEC ABOLITION (SCOTLAND) BILL. The adjourned debate on this bill was resumed. After a rather miscellaneous discussion, the house divided, when there appeared— For the second reading --- -- Against - Majority —36 The bill was then read a second time. SPECIAL AND COMMON JURIES BILL. Lord ENFIELD moved the second reading of this bill. He said he felt it would be impossible to carry the bill during the present session, but he wished just to make known what woro the recommendations of the commis sion that had sat upon the subject. They were of opinion that the qualification for common jurors in civil cases, in places of 20,000 inhabitants, should bo a house rated at £6O per annum, and in other places £3O. For special jurors the rating should be £lOO and £6O, and that the common juror should receive payment at the rate of 10s. a day, and special jurors 20s. Mr. GRAVES hoped that the bill would not be pressed. as there was no chance of its becoming law during the present session. Ile complained that common councilmen volunteer officers, and others were not exempted from ser vice on juries. After a short discussion, in which Mr. Young, Mr. G Gregory, Mr. Lusk, and Mr. Hillhouse took part, The SOLICITOR-GENERAL admitted the existence of many grievances in connection with the present jury laws. Common jurors were generally men who could least afford to give up their time, and it was a great hardship they should be treated differently from special jurors. An HON. MEMBER hoped the interests of jurors in cri minal cases would not be overlooked. (Hear, hoar.) Mr. HENLEY thought the bill ought to be in the bands of the Government, as it was too extensive to be carried out with success by a private member. The bill was t Lln read a second time, and the commit- T ontb. tee fixed for that day ADULTEnATIOIT OF FOOD BILL. The order of the day for the eccond reading of this bill was read and discharged. MARRIED WOMEN'S PROPERTY BILL.

HORRIBLE DEGRADATION OF A WIFE.—A very genteel ooking well-grown young woman, apparently about 25 years of age, came to the Court this morning, and, address ing Mr. Arnold, the presiding m tgistrate, said " Am I bound, sir, to support my husband by prostitution ? Mr. Arnold—Certainly not. Applicant —1 am a married woman, azid I havo boa compelled to keep my husband in that way for some Mr. Arnold—What is your husband ? Applicant--A cuac!nnan ; but ho won't work, and c-)m -pels me to the shocking course of life I have spoken of to maintain him. Mr. Arnold—Had you followed this sort of life before you were married? Applicant—No, sir; I was a prudent respectable gill, and he married me from my home. Mr. Arnold—When wore you married to him ? Applicant—The 11th of last February. The threats my husband uses towards me are very serious, because I will not pursue this infamous course of life. Mr. Arnold—What noes he say ? Applicant—That my life shall be short when he catches hold of me. Mr. Arnold—You have left him then ? Applicant—Yes ; I refused to do what he wished, and left him. Mr. Arnold—Has he ever assaulted you? Applicant—He has frequently knocked me about. Mr. Arnold—Do you go in fear of him ? Applicant— Ido; I am afraid of him. I dread to go out in case he should waylay and injure me. Mr. Arnold directed the cowp:ainant to be sworn, and ssued the process of the court with a view to the young woman's protection. torious burglars and thieves, named Henry Sullivan, aged 24 years, William Reynolds, 27, and William Gibbs, 26, were brought before Mr. Paget, charged with burglarously breaking and entering the residence of Mr. Charles Hope Bancombe, physician and surgeon, of No. 4, York-place, Bow-road, and stealing therefrom a microscope in cane, value -£:10, a cap, a silver toast rack, four silver spoons, a scarf, two table spoons (silver), two table covers, a pair of boots, a coat, and some other property, value in all about £lOO. There were several other charges against the prisoners, who lately took a house in the vicinity of Dr. Bancomo's residence and surgery, and since then a great many gentlemen's resi dences, including Pr. Bancombe's residence, was entered by violence a few nights since and the property above mentioned stolen. A largo portion of the plunder, in cluding the microscope and case, was found in the dwelling occupied by the prisoners. A cap, ithntified by Dr. Rancombe's nephew, was found in the same place. Samuel Marsden, police sergeant 13 K, found a largo quantity of linen stolen from another house and house breaking implements, were found in a house, 4, Went worth-road, occupied by the prisoners. A man named Henry Buonaparte Anderson, of No. 51, Went worth - road, had often observed the prisoners and a female confederate. He had seen Gibbs go in and out of the house within the last fortnight. Inspector Kerressey believed he had fallen upon a gang of burglars, who had committed extensive depredations. The house taken by the prisoners in the Wentworth road, was only 50 yards from Dr. Bancombe's surgery. When Reynolds was brought to the statioa-house, he said, "So help —I had nothing to do with Dr. Bancombe's affair; the other fellow just gone was the man who did it.' Sullivan Laid to Reynolds "Did you say that ; you did it yourself ; ob, Sou liar." Reynolds hire asked the inspector—" Did 1 not call Sullivan a demon ?" Kerressey - You might have done so.
