The LORD CDANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. CHURCH RATES. Numerous petitions were presented in favour of the abolition of church rates, and also against their abolition without an equivalent. The Earl of DERBY presented petitions in favonr of the abolition of church-rates, but stated he dissented from their prayer; and be gave noticethat be should to-morrow, on the motion for the second reading of the Church-rate Abolition Bill, move as an amendment that the bill be read a third t:nae that day three months. (Hear ) MARRIAGE WITH A DECEASED WIFE'S SISTER. The Earl of DARTMOUTH presented a petition from Houghton, in Staffordshire, against legalising mar riage with a deceased wife's THE JEW BILL. The Earl of DARTMOUTH presented a petition, also from the above place, against the admission of Jews to Parliament. VICTORIA STATION AND PIMLICO RAILWAY BILL. The deba►e on the Earl of Donoughmore'e motion, that the First Commissioner xf Public Works have leave to appear by counsel against the bill before the select cornmitee on the said bill, was resumed by The LORD CHANCELLOR, who said that since their lordships last meeting be had looked into the question, and had came to the conclusion that there was ro necessity for obtaining th e oneae , st, of the Crown to the further progress of this bill. The Chiet Commissioner of Works stood, in ►eference to this case, in the place of the Crown, as the protector of the public, and be was perfectly justified, under a change of ciroums ances (after having given his consent to the scheme), to interpose for the benefit of the public. His course was to present a petition to be heard by counsel before * the committee, and as by the standing orders be was now prevented from doing so, he (toe Lord Chancellor) moved the suspension of the standing order that the First Commissioner might be able to appear by counsel before the committee, and be heard up)n the bill. Llrd CRANWORTH said the circumstance of a change of Government, and a change of Commissioner in consequence, was not a sufficient reason for their lordships agreeing to toe motion. The circumstances of the case were the same now as they were eight months ago, when the late commis loner gave his assent to the plan, and their lordships ought not to make a change of Government a precedent for reopening a ques tion that had long been settled. Lord STANLEY of ALDER LEY read a letter from Sir B. Hall, in reply to statements made by noble lords on a former occasion, stating that he had not seen the bill and plans before he gave his assent to the bill. Sir B. Ha/l, in his letter, lienied that sta'ement. The Earl of MALMESBURY, in explanation, Paid he had seen a letter from Sir B. Hal', in which he stand be had not seen the plans before he gavo his assent to the bill. Atter some further conversation the motion was with drawn, Lord DONOUGEMORE giving notice that he should to-morrow move the suspension of the standing order above referred to. THE OATHS BILL. Lord DERBY said betore his noble friend (Lord Tlndhurst) moved the second reading of the Oaths Substitute Bill, he (Lord Derby) wished to make a statement to their lordships. (Hear, and cheers.) After referring to the state of the three bills - before Par hament in reference to this question, he said that, being disposed to view with every degree of favour the sug gestions that had been brought forward by his noble and gallant frieoil (Lord Lucan), and his noble and learned friend (Lord Lyndhurst), he thought it would be pre ferable for their lordships to send down to the other house the proposition of his noble and garant friend rather than the bill of the noble and learned lord. He thought that the most preferable plan, as it woud allow. the Houses of Parliament to eeal with exceptional eases as they arose. In sug gesting that course he begged it to •be understood that be had not_altereid his views with reference to the policy and expediency of their admitting Jews to Parliamer.t ; but having a:;xiouely and carefully considered this question, he bad come to the conclusion that the proposition of hie noble and gallant friend vial the only possible solution of thi4 great difficulty, after an agitation of about ten years, hitherto without success. Such a course, if ed.jpted, be thought, would maintain the dignity of their lordsliiiss' ionse end avoid a collision with the other house, how ever much be regretted them taking a course that would prevent them maintaining inviolate the Christian cha racter of the legislation for which their I , rdships bad hitherto contended. (dear, hear.) It appeared to him there would be less practical inconvenience arise from their giving a limited consent to the views of the House of Commons than in persisting in an opposition which past experience bad proved could not be carried on be tween the two brrs.s aftr a certain limited period. Lord LYNDHURST expressed his surprise at the course now proposed by the noble lord at the heal of her lisje.ty'a Governroent, after what took place on a former occasion in that house. He (Lord Lyndhurst) bad no personal vanity to gratify in undertaking to legislate on this subject, his oily de-ire being to effec tually settle tbis long agitzted stAject. He had no objection to the principle of his noble and gallant friend's bill, but he oljeetcd to some of its details. Be should postpone the second reading of his bill, until after he had seen the r esu l t of his noble and gallant friend's (Lord Lucan) bill. (LEFT SITTING HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(This Day.) The SPEAKER took the chair a t 12 o'clock. The New General Post-cffice (Edinburgh) Bill was read a third time and paned. UNIVERSITY (SCOTLAND) BILL. The bout° then went into committee on this bill. r On clause 13 being meved, which proposed to deprive the town councils of their rights of patronage, and in wbicb clause an amendment had been suggested when the house was, on a former occasion, in committee on the bill, Mr. E. ELLICE thought the arguments failed with rePpeet to Edinburgh. He suggested an amendment aving them the patronage, but controlling the exercise of it for the protection of the public. Mr. BLACK and Col. SYKES opplsod the amendment. Mr. DUNLOP said the amendment would have a larger scope tharawas intended, and he therefore must ()pose it. - The LORD ADVOCATE took a similar view. He thought it would aff3at the rights of private foundation where the right of nomination had been vested in town rntmcils. After some further discussion, the amendment was viithdrawn. Sir W. DUNBAT, moved a proviso, to the effect that the patronage hitherto excroiged by the town council of Edinburgh should be transferred to seven curators, bur In be named by the town council and three by the University. Court ; the tqrrn of office to c be four years. Mr. COWAN opposed the amendment; but if it was proposed as a compromise be should not stand in the way. _ The clause was then agreed to, with Sir W. Dunbar's ardilition, which was as follows :—"And the right of rominatiou or preentationto al professor s hi ps in t h o University of .Edinburgh , in times past and presently exercised by the Town Council of Edinburgh, or by one or more of the members theref‘f, shall be transferred to, and in all time criminiz he exercised by, seven curator,. t) be nominated as folf0;:s : within two months from and after the date . it whin!, this Act shalt some into opera.

WHEAT I BARLEY OATS I RYE I BEANS PEAS 43e Od 31s ld 25s 10d 33s 101 42s 3d 41s 3' THE SUN. LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 1, 1858. Gordon, Earl of Aberdeen ; the Right Hon. William Dari.d Murray, Earl of Mansfield ; the Right Hon. D ancan Mc Neill, Lord Justice General and Lord .t'resident of the Court of Session ; Sir William Gibson Craig, of Riccarton, Bart. ; John Inglis, Esq., Lord Advocate for Scotland ; James Craufurd, E,q., one of the Senators of the College of Justice ; William Stirling, Esq., of Keir ; James Moncreiff, Esq. ; Alexander Hastie, Esq. The names were agreed to and the clause was ordered to be added to the bill. Mr. ELLICE, sen,, remarked upon the extensive powers given to the commissioners, powers which the Home Secretary 'would hesitate to give any body of men in England._ Mr. WAL:'OI4E raid it was intended to insert in the bill a clar. de requiring the commissioners to lay before Parlinent their res)lutions 15 days before they Were P". in force. Mr. GLADSTONE said what he whiled to see was the Scotch degrees brought up to those of England which he did not think could be done while Scotland main tained four Univereitics. The greatest good in his opinion would be effected if the four Universities were consolidated into one all the colleges arranging themselves under it as a central body. He did not think any loss by doing so would be occasioned, but, on the contrary, a positive advantage would be gained. What he was most anxious for was, that powere should he given to the commissioners to inquire into the possi bility of consolidating the four universities into one. This would involve upon the commissioners the duty of inquiring and reporting the result to the Crown, and if it was found that the feeling was in favour of such a proceeding, means could be taken ultimately to carry out the object, the effect of whioh would be to elevate the higher branches of education in that country. He therefore moved an addition to the clause, to the effect that the powers he had mentioned should bs given to the commissioners, and that in the event of her Majesty granting a charter to the central university, the four existing bodies might be authorised t 3 surrender their powers of granting degrees to the new university. (Hear.) The LORD-ADVOCATE trusted the addition pro posed by the right hon. gentleman would not be pressed at the present moment. He suggested that it might be proposed upon Coe bringing up of the report. After a short discussion, the words proposed were withdrawn, on the understanding that they should be brought forward on the bringing up of the report. The clause, with a few other verbal amendments, was then agreed to. Clauses 15 to 18 inclusive were agreed to. On clauso 19 (previous clauses having provided for grants of money by Parliament), Mr. BAXTER moved the addition of the following proviso :—" That it shall not be lawful for the Commis sioners to app!y any portion of such moneys for the en dowment of pr.fesr.orships in theology." lie spoke, he said, on behalf a two-thirds of dm people of Scotland who were dissentients from the 14: tablished Church. Mr. DALGLISH sec irded the pr iviio. The LORD ADVOCATE objected to the proviso, which would abolish the faculty of theology altogether, a faculty which was the most distinguishing feature in the universities of England and Ireland. Sir J. TRELAWNEY thought that if the Parlia. mentary grants were to be applied to theology an acri monious spirit would be raised whenever those votes came under consideration. He thought it would be very advisable altogether to avoid questions connected with particular theological views in that house. The committee divided. The numbers were— For the proviso Against it Majority —8 The proviso was therefore negatived. On the question that clause 19 sta.cd part of the bill, the committee divided, when the numbers were— For the clause Against it 76 Majority -49 The clause was added to the hill. Mr. BAXTER gave notice that on brinc,dng up the report he should again take the sense of the house on the application of public money to theological purposes. He regretted the division that had just taken place, be cause it raised a false isms. The remaining clauses were agreed to, and the bill was reported to the house ; several members, however, giving notice that they st.ould move new deuces on bringing up the report. The sitting was then suspended. The house resumed at six o'clod-, and was {LEFT SITTING THE SIX WEEKS' AVERAGES.

FIRE IN VIE CALTON JAIL, EDINELJEGII.—.A~ fire of a rather alarming character broke out early yesterday morning in a block of buildings at the jail, constituting the washing-house and the matron's apartments, sea, and separated from the main- erection by a court-yard, The fire was first discovered about four o'clock by the night - watchman, who perceived smoke issuing from the crevices of one of the windows. He gave the alarm, and a messenger despatched immediately to the fire-office re turned with an engine, which commenced to play upon the buildings. The fire, which had originated in the matron s kitchen situated above the washing-house, burned the flooring and reached the long-room under neath, where about 12 wooden compartments for wash ing were ranged. These were consumed almost before the arrival of the engine. The flames swept with great violence up a lofty wooden ventilator or cbimney con structed to cool the hewer, completely demnl:shing it, and in a short space of time the washing-house and ceil ing were completely charred. On an alarm being given the attention of the cfficers of the ieetmaedhliisahtneilyenatbtrovaes directed to the female debtors' room, m the house, and occupied by a woman who had been con , fined there sometime. They eueoeeded in rescuing her without injury. Fortunately there was an abundant supply of water at band, and by dint of hard exertion the brigade succeeeded in mastering the flames soo n after five o'clock. The amount of damage done will not, we learn, exceed 1501. The origin of the fire is unknown.--Scotsman. 1?,41L TO TLIE HIGHLANDS. — It is with no ordinary sa tisfaction that we announce the completion cf the rail way from Nairn jto Keith,. thus establishing through communication by railway from Inverness to London.

The following is the report of the select commit tee appointed to inquire into the causes of acci; dents on railways, and into the possibility of removing any such causes by further legislation:— " That your committee has heard much evidence upon the subject matter of inquiry brought before it ; that the evidence has been chiefly given by offi cers of the Board of Trade, by eminent engineers, and by directors and otheri officials of railway companies ; that it appears to your committee from that evidence, that the causes of accidents on railways may be classified under the three following heads :—lnattention of servants, de fective material (either in the works or rolling stock), excessive speed ; that it appears to your committee that the strict personal supervision which alone can check the carelessness of the men employed on the lines, and detect the insufficiency of the material used on them, can best be obtained by the attention of the companies themselves, and that the very serious losses they incur by any acci dent ought to render it sufficiently their interest to pay minute attention to these points ; but cases having occurred when these questions have been neglected by railway companies, your committee is of opinion that the Board of Trade should be in ' vested with the fullest powers to investigate and report to Parliament upon any accidents which may occur on railways; that your committee is of opinion that a rate of speed considerably in excess of what is considered safe, in the opinionof the great majority of the witnesses examined, is sometimes attained on many of the lines ; that the evi dence taken further tends to show that such ex cesAve speed ha,s arisen, not so much from the speed required as advertised by the railway time tables, as from the want of strict punctuality in the time of the departure and arrival of trains from e tch station, which leads to an excess of speed fur the purpose of endeavouring to make up time IoA. That your committee, impressed with the many difficulties and complications connected with this part of the subject, and also with the inex pediency of relieving railway companies from the responsibility which now devolves on them, is not prepared to recommend any direct legisla tive interference by the house upon the question of the extreme speed at which railway trains may be permitted to travel. But your committee is of opinion that the perfect regularity in the time of the departure from and arrival at each station by the trains, which would appear to be a material element of safety in railway travelling, may be attained by legislative interferenc-, to the ex tent of enacting that, except under exceptional circumstances, the public should have some means of obtaining prompt and cheap re dress in the recovery of penalties in every case of want of punctuality in the departure and arrival of trains at every station, thereby rendering it imperative upon railway companies not to adver tise a rate of travelling which they cannot always maintain with undeviating punctuality ; that your committee is of opinion that it should be made imperative on railway companies to advertise a sufficient time beforehand the exact hour of de parture and arrival of trains at each station ; that your =mails - tee is also of opinion that it should be imperative on every railway company to esta blish a means of communication between guards and engine-drivers ; that your committee has received much evidence with reference to the advisability of enforcing a system of telegraphic communication, and the utility of enacting that trains should not be despatched without having ascertained by such communication that the line was c'ear ; that youT committee is not prepared to define the distance at which such tele graphic stations should be placed, but it is of opinion that a recourse to this system would be a most effective means for the prevention of railway accidents, the largest proportion of which arise from collisions ; that, with respect to clay and night signals, breaks, and other precautions. your committee is of opinion, from the evidence which it has heard, that such details are better left to the management of the railway boards ; that your committee is therefore of opinion that it is incumbent on the Board of Trade to apply to Parliament for such further powers as may enable that department to -carry out the above recommendations, which, in the opinion of your committee, would tend greatly to diminish the number of ralway accidents." The report is dated June 25. CRYSTAL .1" iL 1 C.E 01)MPA NY. [The follower; . appeared iu part of olzr improssi: n of yes terday :]— The sixth ordinary general meeting of the shareholders of this company was held this day, at the Bridge House Hotel, Southwark. T. N. Farquhar, Esq., occupied the chair. The usual routine business having been transacted, The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report, which stated that the revenue account for the year ending 30th cf April last showed a gross balance to its credit of 35,0 Th/. After deducting all preference charges for dividend and interest, the general revenue account showed an available balance of 13,7901. The directors recommended that this balance should be carried over to tho next half-year, and if this could bo done they hoped, with the prospects of the present season, to be able at the meeting in Decem ber next to submit a proposal for payment of such a dividend on the ordinary shares as would be satisfactory to the general body of proprietors. A considerable reduc tion had been effected in the past year under all the ordi nary heads of expenditure, and the directors trust that a still further reduction may be attained by a strict and vigilent superintendence over all the departments, without in any way impairing the efLiency or high character of the undertaking. In regard to the receipts for the past year it is satisfactory to observe that the gross amount ex ceeds that of the previous year. But this is in a measure to be attributed to the Handel Festival, which can only be regarded as an exceptional occasion. On the other hand, the expenses of the festival were very large, but still leaving a satisfactory balance in favour of the company. In reference to the 6 per cont. debenture stock there has been appropriated to this date about 140,0001., and the accounts show that 84,251/. was received in cash to the :;oth of April last on account of this stock, and which has . been applied in paying off temporary loans and debentures falling due. The directors were open to receive applica tions for the balance of the 250,0001. of this stock autho rised to be raised by the resolution of the general meeting of July 30, 1357, and they confidently recommended the shareholders by themselves and their friends to take up this stock, the security for which was considered by the Board to be undoubted. The directors regretted to state that their efforts to procure a reduction of the capital of the company and to effect an arrangement for the Sun day opening, in terms of the proposal submitted to the last meeting, and so generally approved by the share holders, have been frustrated through the intervention of the Court of Chancery, an injunction having been obtained at the instance of a shareholder in the company to restrain thedi rectors from carrying out the proposed measure. The contract for the supply of refreshments having expired at the beginning of this year, the directors advertised for public tenders, which resulted in their concluding a con tract with Messrs. Sawyer and Strange on much more favourable terms to the company than the previous one. The directors had every confidence that this arrange ment would be found to work beneficially for the company and the public, while the energy displayed by the con ' tractors leads to the expectation that the result will prove satisfactory to them. The revenue account for the year end ing the 30th of April last showed that 122,6621. had been received, including 12,4171. for season tickets, 97,6251. for admissions, 8,9641. for rentals, 7,5251. refreshment con tract, waiting and cloak rooms; and the expenditure amounted to 87,5881., including 8,505/. for general man agement ; 10,715/. for maintenance and repairs of build ing ; 8,533/. for gardens and grounds; 2,769/., waterworks ; 8,874/., alterations and additions to various departments ; 7,6221., music ; 9,1941., opera concerts ; 14,698/., Handel Festival ; 2,4541., special concerts, fetes, See.; 2,8001., flower shows ; and 1,4681. poultry shows ; leaving a bal ance as above of 35,07. - 4. The capital account shows that 1,339,3621. had been received, includiug shares issued by Robson, and 1,3.t7,8301. expended, including 28,023 shares fraudulently issued by Robson, leaving a balance against the company of 8,468/. Mr. 45GICVY seconded the adoption of the report, which, after some discussion, was adopted amidst loud cheers. Mr. ADDa;corr moved a resolution to the effect that all shareh,lders and their friends be entitled to admission to the gardens of the Palace on Sunday. If they could only open the Crystal Palace on that day, he knew there were 20,000 peoplo in London who would instantly join the company. Mr. YOUNG, amid great interruption, opposed the reso lution. Mr. CARDEN said it had been settled that shareholders could go into the Palace on Sunday, and, having that right, ho should like to know who was to oppor them ? The CHAIRMAN thought the wiust course to adopt was to agree to a resolution in the following form :--" That the opening of the grounds of the Crystal Palace on Sun day to the sharehohters is desirable, and that it be left to the directors to make such arrangements as they may think fit to carry out the wishes of the proprietors." Mr. ANDERSON moved an amendment to the effect that the oirocters be empowered to carryi nto immediate effect a resolution, agreed to at the last meeting, for the imme diate opening of the grounds on Sunday to shareholders. The resolution as suggested by tho chairman was put an] carried. A ballot was then demanded. Mr. l 3 ow said a c,rtain arrangement with respect to cancelling shares having been abandoned in consequence of the Vice-Chancellor's decision, he begged to move that the directors be now empowered to give a number on' shilling admission tickets for each share sent in to be ceceelled. The neinber and time during which the sail tickets may be availaiile to be decided from time to time by the directors. The resolution was carried, and a long and angry die. cussion then took place with respect t7o the ballot de manded on the previous resolution; after which it was ultimately decided that a ballot should take place at the Bridge-house Hotel, this eiening, till six o'clock, and that it be continued, by adjournment, at the Crystal Palace, on the 14th, 15th, and Mb. J_uly, and the tnecting.to Le adjouined till the 21st. . Same other routine businese haviDg been trti,w,acted, the meeting eaparated. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—,Tune 30. MANSION-HOUSE. James Moss, 24, and Charles Noon, 14, were charged, on remand, with being in possession of six pairs of Blucher boots, stolen from the premises of Mr. Lilley, manufacturer, 115, Bishopgate-s treet without, on the morning of Saturday last. Thos. Hopwood, manager to the prosecutor, de posed that upon going to the premises at the usual hour on Saturday morning he found that 20 pairs of boots and shoes, value 101., had been stolen from the window, the shutters of which, left securely fastened the night before, had been forcibly opened from the outside. Behind the shutters iron bars ran along the window, about 4 inches apart, and through these the boots, which stood about 2 feet from the outside of the window, must have been dragged, one pair after another, by the help of a piece of wood which he had found lying on the window. The six pairs of boots now produced were a portion of those so stolen. The Lord Mayor—How long do you think it would take to get the twenty pairs through the window ? Witness—l should think it would take nearly an hour, my lord. The Lord Mayor—lt seems to me to be very extraordinary that these two prisoners should be engaged for an hour committing a burglary in a public place like Bishopgate-street, without being disturbed by a policeman. Police-constable 647—The constable who was on duty on that beat is not here, my lord, but I should think it might all be done in ten minutes. Witness—That's impossible, as on!y six pairs were found in the bundle when the prisoners were • apprehended. They must have gone two or three times to the shop. The Lord Mayor—l cannot exactly understand it, but go on with the evidence. Police-constable 647—About half-past five on Saturday morning, I was on duty in Angel-alley, Bishopsgate-street, when I saw the prisoner Moss on a part called the ruins, fitting on a pair of bouts, with the prisoner Noon by his side. It was about 200 yards front Mr. Lilley's shop. I asked Moss what he was doing, and he said he was trying on a pair of boots he had bought the night before, between 7 and 8 o'clock, at a shop in Whitectiapd, the name of the proprietor of which he did not re collect. I said it was a very strange place to fit on a pair of boots, which he had bought the night be fore, and I told another officer to take charge of the prisoners while I looked about. He did so, and on searching the ruins 1 found five other pairs of boots, tied in a handkerchief, and covered with rubbish, a little way off the spot where the prisoners were sitting. Mary Dean—l live in Acorn-street, Bishopsgata, and my house overlooks the ruins in Angel-alley. On Saturday morning, about half-past four, I saw the two prisoners on the ruins, with a bundle like that now produced. A fter being there a little while they got off the ruins, and Noon went into Bishopsgate-street, as if to see whether any one was coming. He made a moton as if the place was clear, when Moss went to him, and they both went away. About half-past five I saw them again come on the ruins, and as I then thought something was wrong I went out to look for a policeman, and as I was' coming back I met the officers with the two prisoners in custody. In answer to the charge Ncon said nothing. Moss said he knew nothing except about the ono pair of boots, which the policeman had found him in the act of fitting on. The Lord Mayor—Why, your own sister has told the officer that the handkerchief in which the rive pairs were found is yours. Moss—Then I'll own to the six pairs, but nut to the others. hey were both committed for trial. WORSHIP-STREET.—Joseph Kingslake was charged with wilfully and maliciously placing a stone o❑ the North London line of railway, to the danger of the traffic and passengers. Police-constable Hussiug, 3b7 N, stated that he lived at4omerton, closely adjacent to the railway in question, and yesterday afternoon d'stinctly saw the prisoner:descend the bank and place a stone on one of the metals. This was done very carefully. Witness instantly ran to the spot without his coat, and removed the dangerous impediment, prisoner taking to his 'heels on perceiving he was noticA_ Within five minutes, however, he returned and looked ab-mt, manifestly to see if the stone had been removed, during which search witness pounced upon Lim. When questioned as to his motive for trespassing on the tine, ho replied that he went there to look after a ball he had been playing with and lost. The Magistrate—ls any one here from the com pany to prosecute. A person here stepped forward and said—l am an inspector on the line, sir, and am authorised to state that the company do not wish to preseoxte. Magistrate—On what ground (apparently sur prised) 1 Inspector—ln consideration of his youth, sir ; and then the stone is not large enough to have oc casioned an accident. The engine wheel would have crushed it. Magistrate—But the object was clearly that of mischief. It is a =natter not to be dealt lightly with. What is the boy's age ? Inspector—Fourteen sir. • Sergeant Davy, N 36—And a vary bad bly he is, your worship—one of the worst and most active young thieves about. Ho has frequently been charged at this court, and his parents cannot do adythiug with him ; indeed, they don't appear to take auy interest in him. Magistrate—What do you say to this charge, boy '? Prisoner (snivelling, and holding up a piece of coloured glass)—l only meant to pick up this. 1 didn't put a stone there. Magistrate—l shall remand you for a week. This is a serious matter. THAMES.—ltichard Metz, who has been twice convicted at the Cenral Criminal Court of uttering base coin, Charlotte Pulford, and Mary Ann Smith, a married woman who carried a blby in her arms, were charged with having a quantity of base coi❑ in their possession, and moulds, instruments, and materials for the manufacture of counterfeit coin. Grimes, 291 li, went to No. 31, Randall-street, Poplar, and found the prisoners iu the kitchen. In spite of their resistance, he took from them some bad halt-crowns, a plaster of Paris mould, some metal, a bottle containing, a powerful acid, pieces of copper wire for galvanic purposes, a new metal spoon, and other such apparatus. Some things of the same kind were also found buried in the garden. The prisoners were committed for trial. After the police had left the lieuse a child be longing to one of the lodgers obtained access to a basin, or mug, containing a poisonous acid, used by coiners in their nefarious trade, and swallowed a portion of it. The parents carried it to a surgeon, who administered art an tidote, and the child was sent to an hospital, but it was not expected to live many houre. George Bonsford, a dirty-looking ruffian, aged 20, of Flower-and-Dean - street, Spitalfields, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing a silver watch from the person of John Jenkins, a labourer in the service of the London Dock Com pany. The prosecutor, whose face was injured and whiskers singed, was assisting to the utmost of his power in subduing the flames in the London Dock warehouses, and when an explosion of saltpetre took place he was blown against some timber and very much injured. He had previously , saved fifteen men whom he brought eut of a warehouse on fire, and whose retreat was for some time cut off. After he recovered from the shock of the explosion he was allowed to leave the dock and go home. He struggled through the crowd until lie reached the New York stores, opposite the dock, where ho partook of a glass of brandy to re fresh him. He was leaving the house with the in tention of going home to change his clothe, when the prisoner stepped up to him, and took his watch from his pocket. The proaecutor took the watch from the prisonet's hand, and gave him into the custody of J. Mayne, a police constable, No. 50 H. Mayne said the prisoner was well known to the police, and was the constant associate of thieves. Mr. Yardley sentenced the prisoner to three months' imprisonment and hard labour. WANDS WORTH. —Mr. John Partridge Make ham, a gentleman residing at No. 28, 1) rtmouth street, Westminster, appeared before 111 r. Ingham, to answer the complaint of Mr. Henry Anscomb, cn behalf of the Crystal Palace Railway Company, for riding in a third-class carriage without having previously paid the fare, with intent to evade the payment thereof. The defendant pleaded not guilty. It appeared from the evidence of fweral ticket collectors employed at the Pimlico terminus of the West-end railway in Battersea, that on the even ing of the 15th of June the defendant passed through the barrier at the station with the inten tion of travelling by the 6.35 train to the Crystal Palace station. He then asked a collector who wti clipping the tickets whether his return ticket would be available the next day, as it was very pro bable that he might not return the same night. The defendant was told distinctly tha' it would not, as it was only available for that day. He then went by th e train, and on the follow ing' morning when the 10.50 train arrived at Bat -1 tenea-station, the defendant, who was in a third class carriage, delivered up to the collector the half of his return ticket, dated the 15th. The fare of 6d. from the Crystal Palace to Battersea was then de- 3 20 all lq all 11): 4 St. ;100 St. 100 I St. ioo -1 26 all 25; al/ St. 'lOO 10 3 St. 'lOO St. 100 50' all 25 all 00 all 25 all 10 9 20 all St. 100 50 36 St. 100 St. 100 St. 100 St. 100 St, 100 25 16!

It appeared that the double ticket to the Cr ystal Palace and back was 9d., and as he had already paid that. sum he thought they could not demand more than the additional 3d. The defendant admitted that he was told on th 15th that the return ticket would not be availabl • on the next day, and said that was after he had purchased it, and he did not think the collector was an authority. It was only but fair for him to expect that a reasonable time would bo allowed for him to return. Mr. Ingham inquired if there were any trains re turning after the time the ticket bad been issued. Mr. Auscomb said therewere several. The defen dant bad an opportunity of going to the Crystal Palace station, stopping there three hours, and then to return the same night to Battersea. The defendant said at other railways return tickets were available the next day, and he was not to know they did not adopt the same principle on the Crystal Palace line. However, if that was not allowed, he thought it was against all principles of right and justice that he should bo charged an ad ditional sixpence when the single fares there and back amounted to only one shilling. Mr. Ingham said the ticket was dated the 15tb, clearly showing that it was only available for that day. As to reasonable tim3 being allowed, there might be no end to people's fancies. Some might think their whole lifetime a reasonable period, and so on. However, apart from all philosophical view's of the matter, he thought there had been an at tempt to defraud the company. He fined him 20s. and costs, which were paid. GREENWICH.—Aurae M‘Pherson, 32, alias Benton, alias Walker, described as a shoe-binder of 9, James-street, Peckham, was charged with enter ing the house of Thomas Coppard, in Norfolk place, Swan-lane Rotherhithe, and steali ng a bon net, two pairs of ? boots, and two spoons. When apprehended a convict's ticket of leave was found in her possession, and it appeared she had only been liberated on Tuesday, the 2d inst., hav ing in June, 1852, been sentenced to 14 years tran sportation for felony, at the Monmouth assizes. Mr. Seeker committed her for trial. - WOOLWICEL—Andrew Berncastle, captain and owner of the yacht Albatross, John Thomas Olney, gentleman, of 54, Watling street, City, and James Barber and James M`Laughlin, seamen, were charged with conveying spirits on shore, liable to seizure, and also having a large quantity of spirits, cigars, and tobacco on board the yacht. The Albatross arrived in the river off Erith on Friday from Rotterdam, and on Capt. Berucastle. coming on shore, Mr. lorry, the chief officer of the Coast Guard at that station, asked what stock ho had on board the yacht, to which he replied—about two dozen bottles of brandy. a few cigars, and a small quantity of tobacco.. The yacht was after wards searched, Captain Berncastle holding up the lid of a locker for that purpose, and the searcher being satisfied left the vessel. Shortly afterwards Captain Berncastle and the defendant Olney were observed coming on shore carrying a carpet bag and portmanteau, which, on their being stopped, were found to contain three bottles of spirits and a bottle and a half of brandy. This led to a further overhaul of the yacht and the discovery of about 70 bottles of spirits, four boxes of cigars weighing 161b5., and 81bs. of tobacco, upon which the yacht was seized, and the defendants taken into custody. After hearing this evidence on Saturday, and the defence of Olney, that ho was merely a passen ger, and that the spirits they carried on shore were intended as presents to friends, Mr. Traill declined convicting for the lesser of fence, and Captain Baker, commander of the Coast Guard service at Gravesend, now stated that it was not intended to prosecute. Mr. Seeker said that be bad no power to act, and the defendants must be discharged. Country Markets. NEWCASTLE-JUNE 29.

A NOISY RECEPTION.—On the arrival of the Emperor and Empress of the French at Brest, every vessel of the squadron in the roadstead is each to fire three broadsides, and in addition, all the forts which surround the entranee of the roadstead, and which are 18 In number, are being armed with cannon to fire three tunes also. The Emperor will be accompanied from Cherbourg to Brest by three ships cf the line, which e ill return the salutes ; so that altogether the thunder of cannon will be most formidable. [ADVEBTISEMENTI—BiIious affections induced by unusual atmospheric heat or a too liberal diet, if not early checked, are often attended with serious copse. quences. When any one finds his ideas less clear th an his eyesight dimmed, and his head dizzy, whil e h e is indisposed to all exerticn, physical or mental, he may be quite sure that he is in immediate need of some cool ing and purifying medicine.
