This morning, at St. George's, Hanover-square, Lord Eldon was married to Henrietta Minna, eldest daughter of Captain Henry and the Hon. Mrs. Turner. The Dean of York, assisted by the Rev. Eldon Banks, officiated. The presents were very numerous and costly. POLICE INTELL I GENCE.-7his Day. MARL BOROUGH-S TREET. THE HAYMARKET AND ITS VISITORS. —TWO young mon named James Costello and William Shilling, wore charged before Mr. Knox with attempting to pick pockets in the Haymarket. Police -constable Walker, a plain clothes officer of the C division, said that shortly after one o'clock that morn ing ha was on duty in the Haymarket, when he saw a large crowd hustling the polio() about— Mr. Knox asked what wds the meaning of it. Inspector "Wade said it was only what occurred every morning after the refreshment houses turned out their customers. In a distance of 500 yards, he could positively state that he that morning saw 150 prostitutes, and about an equal number of well-dressed young men with them ; and although there was not such disorderly conduct as to cull for the interference of the police, yet there was such conduct as he considered ought not to take place, caused by a mixture of young gentlemen, prostitutes, persons selling things, and persons like the prisoners. Fortu nately not many persons slept in the Haymarket, or ther was no doubt that the police would receive many more complaints. Mr. Knox remanded the prisoners for inquiries. THAMES. UNFOUNDED CHARGE,—EIiza Cooney, aged 31 years, a pauper in the Stepney Union, w•as charged before Mr. Paget with stealing a metal teapot, value 2s. 6d., the pro perty of Mary Morley, of No. 31, New Gravel-lane, Shad well. The proseeutrix, to tho surprise of everyone in court, said that the prisoner was not the per,on who stole the teapot. Mr. Paget —Aad that is the reason you gave her into custo ly. Pros-cutrix —Yes, sir. (Laughter.) A po!ierman namod Barton, 4t3 K, said ho had raid the fare from Slimily, 11 to the Stopue:, Uuion House at Broudey out of his own pocket. Mr. Paget—The woman who has misled you ought to repay you. I am sum you canuct afford to lose the money Stimpson, a p lice sergeant, No. 21. K, said the woman who committed the robbery bad just slipped out of court, and she it was who informed the prosecutrix that the pri soner was the person who stole the teapot. Mr. Paget told the prisoner she was discharged, and that she might if she thought proper bring an action for :she imprisonment. THE COMIC PAPERS. (From Punch.) THE VICEROY OF EGYPT'S FAVOURITE GAME.- Pyramids. QUITE OUT OF HER LlNE.—Perhaps the most furious talk against the Irish Church Bill and Mr. Gladstone has come from the Pomona Gardens, Manchester. Rather hard this upon Pomona, who has never before been accused of having anything to do with the apple of discord. QUITE RlGHT.—William Tito receives knighthood. it is not much of an honour, but Wren got no more, at least from Royalty. But as it is meant for an honour, Mr. Punch is glad, for Mr. Tite is a worthy gentleman and an eminent architect. Which of the Orders of Architecture is it to be? Surely that of the Royal Exchange. A SUPPLEMENTARY PARAGRAPH.-If there really be any disciples of Rochefoucauld who " find in the misfortunes of others something not altogether unpleasing to them selves," let them " Spend a happy day," as they say at Rosherville, by investing a shilling at the Supplementary Picture Exhibition, where they will see how Genius can be neglected, and Industry go unrewarded. The "Rejected" have done right in making an Exhibition of themselves, and the Royals ought to be pleased also that next year's Hanging Committee will insist, as a matter of fairness to their brother artists, that more time be allowed them for the consideration of works sent for approval, and so hang and not gibbet such meritorious productions as are to be found amongst others on the walls of the Supplementary Exhibition. " THE NOBLE GAME OF GOOSE WAS THERE IN VIEW." —Goldsmith.—ln a recent police case the witnesses spoke of one " Lord Hamilton" who had been scrambling away his money, at a low public in Shad we ll, with the sugges ,. . _ _ tive sign of the " Paddy's Goose." More than one noble young British sportsman has been frequenting very ques• tionable publics lately for the same spirited pastime. But in these cases the goose is rather the sign of the customer than the public, and the nationality of the weakminded bird is not limited to one of the British islands. We have had " Johnny's goose " and " Sawney's goose" in the person of the Duke of Newcastle and the Duke of Hamil- ton ; for if ever what the Scotch call "dukes" were geese, it is in the case of these two amazingly silly boys ; and in both instances, we fear, the goose may be said to have been cooked, done brown, and cut up, by this time. (From Judy.) A Letter of Dis-credit—Mr. Bright's last. NavEn !—From their recent behaviour, we should never think of taking a strawberry leaf out of the Peers' book ! WE HOPE THEY MAY. --Although the Lords have passed the second reading of the Irish Church Bill, they may yet amend it in committee, and thus prove themselves to be a House of Correction. THE ROYAL AUTHOHESS. — Everybody knows that her Majesty has rushed into print, of course ; end most people have read the book emanating from the pen of the First Lady in the Land. The Queen. however, is not, as has been asserted, going to start a serial under the title of the " The Windsor Review." (From Fan.) EVERT DOG HAS ins DAY.—Unless the present style of summer changes very rapidly, " The Dog Days" will De suitable only for water spaniels and Newfoundlands. Ott, YES.—A number of refugee Japanese princes tre establishing a republic in the island of Yesso. They are evidently resigned to their fate, for their unanimous choice of Yesso must of course be regarded as acquiescence. ANOTHER ABSCONDER.—It is rumoured that the Clerk of the Weather has followed the example of the clerk of a certain gas company, and levanted from his duties. We understand that he has left his accounts in a very con. used state, and that large arrears of bad weather due iast winter will have to be realised this summer. We shall be glad when the accounts—and the weather-- Pepme Nettled, THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 1, 1869, SHARE LIST. JOINT-STOCK BANKS.

April and .0° 111 ti The East London Protestant Defence Association held A meeting on Wednesday, presided over by the Earl of Bandon, and addressed by Lord George Hamilton. The Earl of BANDox, iu his opening speech, said : He was afraid that very few of those who voted at the last general election in favour of those who were pledged to support Mr. Gladstone knew the meaning of either disestablishment or of disendowment. What was put before the electors were statements with respect to some trifling difference iu the social position of Irish Protestants whereas the question which ought to have been submitted to them was whether the great religious victory achieved by the Reformation was to be cancelled by Act of Parliament. Church and State had ever been connected since the days of the patriarchs down to the present moment, and if the nation would now give up the union between them it would amount to this--that the State took no cognisance of any religion whatever, arid so the people would drift into indifferentism, and from indif ferentism into atheism and blasphemy. Mr. Gladstone's bill was a most unjust one. ire denied that any of that property had ever belonged to the Church of Rome. He would ask the English people if the Protestants of Ireland, who had ever been peaceful citizens, who hail been at all times distinguished for their love of law and order, and for their loyalty to the Crown, were to be betrayed to the machinations of the Church of Rome and of the Popish hierarchy. In all their calamities the Irish Protestants had this clnsolation—they were au united Church. In Ireland the Protestants lied an open enemy to fight against, but in England the enemy, in the shape of Ritualism, was concealed, and preyed upon the very vitals of the Church. These Ritualists were all opposed to the Irish Church, and wished to destroy it, because it had been at all times true to the primitive faith. The Conservative member for Middlesex (Lord George HAMILTON), also denounced very fervently the bill and its author. A great deal (he remarked) had been said about the verdict of the country ; but he did not hesitate to say that the Irish Church Bill was as contrary to the opinions of the majority of the electors of England as it was hostile to the future prosperity of the country. It was an infringement of the solemn treaty entered into with the Protestants .of Ireland at the time of the.• Union. Noncorformists made great efforts in support of the volun. Lary principle,but he believed that theyhad been thoroughly deceived at the last election. They had been induced to vote for the supporters of Mr. Gladstone on the under. standing that not a sixpence of the Irish Church revenues should be applied to the maintenance of Popery, and yet the very first thing this bill proposed to do was to provide a permanent endowment to Maynooth. Regarding Mr. Gladstone as a veteran defender of Church and State, many believed he was incapable of doing any in jury to the Church, and, besides, they gave him credit for being a man of gene rous impulses, but in all that they had been most miserably mistaken. Instead of being a generous measure it was a severe and sweeping one, for it was all nonsense to talk about religious equality in Ireland, where Popery was as much an estabishment as any Church could be. They had now to consider this question : Would it be an advantage or a disadvantage to the Church of Ireland to be disesta- Wished? If it were an advantage, then why not apply the principle to the Church of England. If it were a disad vantage, then what right had they to inflict such an injury on the Protestants of Ireland? NORWEGIAN . CHURCHMA.NSHIP We spent a Sunday at Odde, and were fortunate enougri to witness a service. It takes place once in three weeks. The rector is the brother of the Minister of War, and has several other churches to look after. This arrangement is in accordance with the principle adopted at the Reforma tion, by which several parishes were amalgamated into one district, s() as to provide a good income for one clergyman. This was thought better than maintaining each parish a separate cure as before, and having a poor clergy. The result of this arrangement is that the Church privileges of the laity are greatly restricted, but the clergy are the wealthiest class of the community. On the Norwegian Fjords the boat takes the place of the carriage in England. A whole fleet of small craft lay drawn up on the beacn. Sometimes a large boat called the church-boat is used to convey a numerous party. The women handle the oar as well as the men, and will often pull five or six miles with out stopping. In Norway, as in most other countries, the women have contrived to monopolise costume. The men are hardly distinguishable from English peasants, but the married women are a gorgeous spectacle. Upon their heads they wear a large expanse of plaited white muslin, in shape like the bell of the calceolaria Over their bosoms they display a bodice of .0 most elaborate beadwork. The maidens do not don e cap or the Leaded bodice. The younger girls wear the hair in two long pigtails, others more advanced in years twist the hair with a scarlet snood. The latter mode is very becoming., and with the dark skirts, the scarlet and white bodices and snow coloured aprons and collars, make - ap a most charming costume. Inside the quaint and rudely decorated church the men sat upon the right side, the married women upon the left, and the girls stood or knelt in the aisle. Not a few of the sterner sex remained outside the church and took no part in the service, for the Norwegians are by no means a religious race. The priest wore a closeditting black robe and a white ruff. There was no Communion, and so his surplice was laid upon the alt.tr. Very long psalms were sung to plaintive chants much out of tune. The priest stood ail the while before the altar with his back to the people, the precentor leading the singing. At the close of it the priest mounted the pulpit, made an extempore prayer, followed by the Lord's Prayer, and then began Lis sermon. The celebration of Holy Communion is attended by a good deal of ritual. Non-communicants remain and group themselves around the communicants as the elements are administered. Great care is taken that no one communicates who has not previously made his Conintunion's-,1-rift. This is the only form of confession required in the Norwegian Church. The utmost importance is attached to confirmation. The candi dates are prepared most carefully for six months by the parochial clergy, and each clergyman administers the rite to his own parishioners. A fatherly relationship is thus established between the two, such as can never exist between the candidates and the Bishop, whom they have never seen before and may never see again. Confirmation as a necessary qualification for all public offices and for 11108 t private engagements, implies not only a religious, but a secular, education, and the inference would be in the case of a young man or woman passing the usual age for confirmation without being confirmed, that they were in tellectually deficient or morally unsound, and therefore were not capable of undertaking any duties.—From "Fjeld, Fjord, and Foss," in the Churchman's 'Shining Magazine for July. Wel% Sacramento papers give a long account of the funeral of John C. Heenan, the " Benecia Boy." It is said that the American gentleman whom the Reform Club blackballed, notwithstanding the recom• mendation of Messrs. Bright and Forster, is Mr. Smalley, of the New York Tribune. CRIME nr TRELAND.—The assize for the county of Leitrim has been opened at Carrick - on-Shannon. The Lord Chief Justice, in charging the grand jury, congratu lated them on the state of the county. The cases for trial only amounted to one-half of the number at the last assizes. His lordship remarked that the constabulary returns shewed that serious assaults were the offences most frequently committed in that county. Intoxication was the stimulating cause in most of these cases, and he expressed a hope that the gentry and clergy would exert themselves to put down this disgraceful vice—`• the parent of crime." How THE COM➢fONS RE'ECTED A BILL. Th.s Speaker was examined at the last sitting of the Com rnittee on House of Commons' Witnesses, and gave evi dence in favour of a statutory power to examine witnesses at the bar. The right hon. gentleman, referring to the traditional jealousy of the two Houses, said that in 1772 Mr. Burke complained bitterly that he had been kept three hours waiting at the door of the Lords with a bill sent up from the Commons, and that the latter were so indignant that shortly afterwards, when a bill was brought down from the Lords to impose a bounty on corn, the House rejected it by a unanimous vote. The peaker then tossed it across the table on the floor, and a number of members rushed forward and kicked it out of the House. Communications are now made through the officials of both Houses.-00. THE MEMBERS FOR SOTJTHWARK AND THE TEETOTALLERS. —ln reference to the remarks made by Mr. Locke, M.P., in the House of Commons, reflecting on e certain class of temperance advocates alleged to be in fluenced by mercenary motives, and the promise of Mr. Layard to establish a restaurant in Victoria Park, a meeting of about 303 people (chiefly teetotallers) was held in the Boroug,h.road Congregze.ional Church on Wednes day night, to protest against the conduct of their parlia mentary representatives, and to form a committee to take action in favour of securing members in future who would support the closing of public-houses. The meeting was addressed by the Rev. G. M. Murphy (chairman), Mr. Jabez West, and Mr. Otway. In addition to the avowed object of the meeting the advocates took an opportunity of pushing their favourite doctrine, in support of which they quoted numerous statistics. Mr. Layard and Mr. Locke, who had been invited to attend the meeting, sent letters—Mr. Layard, apologising for unavoidable absence, and Mr. Locke declaring that he had no explanation to give, nor did lie know that his recent remarks differed from his previous declarations. This last statement was received with hisses. 'the protest and motion for forming 19101Ctitn committee were panigumsly aPPTHed. all el 17 TEE TAMAN WAR. According to the reports by cable the surveying parties in Western Kansas, on whose behalf so rnuel! anxiety was felt, did not escape contact with the Red Indians, but in catching one of them the Chey ennes caught a Tartar, for their attack was repulsed with a loss of ten killed and many wounded ; the loss to the surveyors being two whites wounded. A telegram, dated Philadelphia, June 21, informs us that the Sioux and Reis tribes having quarel led, there had been a skirmish near Fort Bufort. Eleven (chiefly Sioux) were killed and 40 wounded. The Arizona papers say that Colonel Green's de tachment surrounded a large body of Indians dur ing the night, and serprised and attacked them at daylight, of whom 27 were found dead on the field, 20 more were believed to be mortally wounded, and eight prisoners taken. From the official account of these military operations, we learn that 40 Indian warriors had been killed du , lug the last three months, and an immense quantity of supplies, stock, and other property captured and de stroyed. General Given alludes to these results against the Apaches as very satisfactory, being ob tained by a small force, and h highly compliments the troops south of the river Gila, under the command he then relinquished, on the conduct which enabled them to achieve it. Reinforce ments are to be sent to Ariz )na, and at the request of the Legislature, General Sherman has ordered that arms ant rations be issued to citizens actiug with the troops against the hostile Indians. Apprehension has induced many settlers to abandon their horn:steads, and the question has come before the General Commissioner of the Land-office whether they could be permitted to improve their property while residing in more thickly peopled parts with out forfeiting their rights under the homestead law. Ile adds that at the time of making proof and payment they must show, under oath, that the reason of their teinporary absence was from apprehension of danger caused by actual incur rsions of hostile Indians in that vicinity, resi dence being resumed when consistent with safety. The story of the late attack on the settle ments of the Republican is as follows :—On Sun day, the 30th May, as two men, Alverson and Z.igler, were driving with a horse-team down the valley of Spilman Creek, Lincoln County, Kansas, they perceived a body of about 50 men, they sup posed to be soldiers, riding by fours in regular order behind them. As they approached the horsemen bore to the hills, keeping half a mile distant, till they got belowthem on the valley,when they broke and charged the Germans. The Indians wheeled and chased the flying waggoners, one of whom held the reins, the other a rifle, ready for the first who might approach. After a pursuit of several miles Alverson and Zeig ler reached a wood, when they abandoned the team and escaped through the undergrowth, rifle in hand. A short distance down the Creek a Swede and his wife, in Sunday dress, were walk ing out, when they were surrounded and killed. On their little boy , running back to an adobe (or dug-out) house to report the outrage several families clustered together into the house, and closing the door, the Indians were unable to effect an entrance. A Swedish silversmith from Chicago, named Peterson, had already gone some distance down the creek, and the besieged hoped be would procure assistance; but in the evening the Indians threw his boots against the door, and one of them who could speak English called out with oaths that his body would be found down the road. About the same time a party of 16 Indians surrounded a settler's house at the ninth of the Spilman Creek, on the Salina, where an old Swede and his two sons drove them off with a shot-gun, and a detach ment of those who had chased Alverson and Zeigler on emerging frem the hills between Spilman and Bull Creeks pursued two mounted Germans, who, at the valley of the Salina, were overtaken, r iddled with arrows, and beaten to death with war clubs. They were receutl.y from Lunenburgh, Hanover, and the wife of one named Wishel, a young and beauti ful worn in, is now in the hands of the Indians. Close :o this scene of horror were several houses, and in one was Mrs. Alderdice, with an infant and three young children, the eldest cm!) , nine years of age. Mrs. Kinds and her baby were also iti the Louse; the husband of Mrs Al .erase:; was 45 miles off I.et ting pro% i ions, and Mrs. Kinds' husband 75 miles distant, at the Land Office. In the house were a co ti le of Irishmen, whom the women implorid to stay, as they weie armed, but they started fur their horses inn toad f r qtiaining in the house, where they were in Lir greater safety. Mrs. Kinds took the second chill of Mts Al lerilice on her back and her own baby in Ir r a ini ; Mrs. Alderdice hot- itilint in her atin4, another child on her back; sot I her two others on either si le; and ail lled down Salina It ver. They were i erceived by the Indians and pursued ; the child, en were tired, the women were exhausted. Mos. .Alderiiice exclaimed, •' I can go no further, whon Mrs. Kinds, I uttiug down the child on her ba k, and flying with her own baby crossed the Salina River, hid herself and baby in the under growth,and escaped, reachingSchemmerhorit'sranch late that night.. Pour Mrs. Alderdice was sur rounded, her three children shot before her, andshe and her babe placed on a horse and carried off. Her eldest boy had four balls and an arrow through him, but by the last accounts it was thought he might recover. During this time three Indians had galloped down the Salina valley, nine others follow ing. Of the three first, one appeared to be the leader. He was an old man, gaily dressed with a plume of feathers, and carried a revolver, besides bow and arrows, a bright steel-headed lance, and a shield ornamented with plates of silver. They sure rounded some houses, but when the inmates closed them for defence they stole all the horses they could find, and dashed on. Two boys, of eight and nine years, named Strange and Smootz, were on the prairie when the three Indians came up. Strange was immediately killed with a war club, but Smootz, with an arrow deep in his body, fled towards the house, where were only women and children. A brother of Strange's, a boy only ten years of age, seized a rifle and went out, followed by a child of six carrying the ponder horn and ball pouch. As the son of Mr. Smootz ran screaming towards them young Strange raised his rifle on the nearest Indian, when they turned and fled, permitting the wounded child to reach Hendrickson's house in safety. Mr. Shaeffer, another settler, with his wife and child, coming up at this moment, wheeled his horses round and made for the military camp, not more than a quarter of a mile distant, where they found a company of the 7th Cavalry, well equipped and mounted. When Mr. Shaeffer gave the alarm the troops mounted, and abut a mile off came on the three Indians in a ravine, where they were tying the captured horses. The old Indian shook his shield defiantly at them, and he and his companions saddled fresh horses and galloped off. After two hours' limit the cavalry returned to camp, and next morning, with all their horses, started after the Indians ; but, coining on a party they considered too strong to attack, fell back on Salt Creek, and sent to Forts Hays and Harper for assistance. During the night settlers continued to come in from the upper and more remote creeks ; fires blazed on the hills, kindled by the Indians, who were Sioux, Cheyennes, and Arapahoes, as signals to concentrate their forces on discovering the proximity of the troops.

Their lordships went into committee on this bill, re suming at clause 11, which provides that after the passing of the Act all property of the Ecclesiastical Commissione.s shall be vested in the commissioners under this Act. The Earl of BANDON moved the omission of the won's "passing of the act," for the purpose of substituting the words "Ist of January, 1872." Earl GRAN VILL E opposed the amendment, and said it would be undesirable to make such an alteration. • The amendment was negatived, and the clause agreed On clause 12, The Archbishop of CANTERBURY moved an amend ment to lengthen the time set down in the bill for the dis establhhment of the Church from 1871 to 1872. Earl GRANVILLE thought that the alteration of tho date would only tend to keep matters in an unsettled state, he therefore hoped the amendment would not bo perse vered in. The Bishop of PETERBOROUGH thought it would be better if the question whether the date should be 1871 or 1872, should be posponed until the bringing up of the report of the committee. Lord CAIRNS suggested that as the date of the vesting the property of the Irish Church had been determined on a former evening by a large majority to take p'ace in 1872, it would save time if the date throughout the bill was altered to that effect ; and then if it should be consi dered desirable the original date of 1871 could be replaced on the bringing up of the report. This suggestion was agreed to. [LEFT SITTING. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—Tms EvErmiG. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. SEVERN NAVIGATION BILL. On the congieratiou of this bill, which had come down from the Lords, Mr. BRUCE thought that as the whole question of salmon fisheries were now under consideration of a select committee, it was inexpedient to pass the bill in its present form. He therefore moved certain amendments, which provide that salmon fisheries and weirs should be left under the cantrol of the Severn Salmon Fishery Commissioners, and that all new weiri should be placed under the Home-office, by the act of 18C1. A discussion ensued, and the house divided on the pro posed amendments, when there appeared— Noes 204 Majority... ... ...-140 The amendments were therefore negatived, and the bill was considered and ordered to bo read a third time. MiGWIRE'S CAMPS. Mr. CARDWELL, in reply to Mr. Knight, said that a report had been received from India favourable to the new system of camping, but as the Government and tbe Go vernor-General have not recommended the system for general adoption no steps would be taken for extending the use that had already been made of the new system. CHILDREN IN WORKHOUSES. Mr. GOSCHEN said it was not literally, though sub stantially true that five children had bsen struck off as Catholics in Marylebone Workhouse School, at Southall, and entered as Protestants. As 14 years of age was con sidered an age at which children might be allowed to say which religion was true—(laughter)—these child dren had expressed a desire that they might not be further visited by the Roman Catholic priests. They bad been entered on the books as Protestants. No communication had been made on the subjt!ct vii h the parents and friends of the five children. PRIVATE TELEGItAPIIS. The Marquis of lIARTINGTON, in reply to Ur. Peek, said that it was not intended by the bill for the purobes, of the telegraphs to interfere in any way with private tele graphs used for private purposes, such as communication between the offices and works of manufacturers at a dis tance from each other. VOLUNTEERS PASSING THROUGH FRANCE. Par. CARDWELL said he was not aware of any diffi culty Volunteers would have in passing through Franco on their way to the Tir National in Switzerland. He had communicated with the Foreign -office on the subject, and there no difficulty was known on the subject. if, how ever, it was found to exist the Government would do all it could to prevent any inconvenience to Volunteers. DUBLIN FREEMEN. The adjourned debate was then resumed on leave to introduce a bill for appointing a commission to in9uiro into the existence of corrupt practices against the Free men Electors of the city of Dublin by Mr. J.
