AN UNLUCKY THlEF.—Benjamin Perry, a young man, calling himself a seaman, was charged before Mr. Tyr whitt with stealing a gold watch, of the value of £2O, the property of Mr. John Story, a gentleman of No. 35, Charles-street, Piccadilly. The prosecutor said he was about to open his door at two o'clock that morning with a latch-key when the pri soner, who had followed him down Charles-street, asked him the way to Albemarle-street. Ile directed prisoner, who immediately said, " What do you say ?" and then snatched his watch from his waistcoat pocket, breaking it from the chain, and ran away. He called "Stop thief," and the prisoner was stopped. 1 he prisoner I heard a cry of " Stop thief." Mr. Tyrwhitt—And you ran after the thief ? Prisoner—Exactly so. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Aud you were not lucky enough to catch kin, ? Prisoner—l was not. Henry Baker, employed at the Oxford and Cambridge Club, said he saw the prisoner running in Bolton-street, calling out "Stop thief" as loudly as he could, but there was no one before him. Police-constable Mortimer, 49 0, said he saw the pri soner running up Bolton-street. calling "Slop thief," and ran in front of the prisoner and stopped him The watch was afterwards picked up on the door-step of No. 14, Bolton-street, and the case near where the prosecutor was robbed. Mr. Tyrwhitt, after remuking that ho did not believe t was the prisoner's first offence, remanded him. THAMES. NICE PERQUISITES. Elijah Tomkins, William Hydo Charles Johnson, John Bassett, and Henry Felgatet labourers, in the service of Mr. Goodman, a contractor' were charged with stealing 3 cwt. of old iron from the ruins of a building formerly a sugar refining warehouse, at the corner of Duncan-street, Leman-street, White chapel. Police-constables Padfield, Eldred, and Skipper took the prisoners into custody with the iron in their possession, and about to sell it to a man calling himself a marine store-dealer, who never sold marine stores in his life, but dealt in everything. The officers stopped the sale and captured the prisoners. The sugar house had been lately razed to the ground by Mr. Goodman and his men, and the prisoners said the iron was picked up off the ground, and was allowed them as per quisites. Iron bars, stancheons, and doors removed in the course of the demolition of the structure wore not perqui sites. Mr. Goodman's foreman confirmed the constable's evi dence, and said the scraps of iron were their " privilege." Mr. Paget said there were some large pieces of iron implements among the scraps as they were called. The Foreman—lt is the privilege of the labourers. Mr. Paget asked why Mr. Goodman who had been sent for did not attend, to which the police-constable replied that Mr. Goodman had been fined for crcelty to his horses, and did not like to face the magistrate. Mr Paget—l should not fine him for cruelty to his horses if he wero here to-day. After what his foreman has said there is an end to the case, and the prisoners are discharged. DEATH OF LORD BROUGHTON. We regret to have to announce the death last evening, at his town residence, in Berkeley-square, of Lord Broughton, a vetern Liberal, whose name, half a century ago, was prominently before the public as Sir John Cant Hobhouse. He was the eldest son of Sir Benjamin Hobhouse, Bart., and born near Bristol, June 27, 1786. He was educated at Westminster and at Trinity College, Cambridge, where, at the age of 22, he took his degree in 1808. In his early days he formed an acquaintance with Byron, whom he accompanied in some of his travels in Greece. On hii return from his Conti nental tour, he speedily effected an entry into the House of Commons, for he had by this time become extremely popular on account of the publication of his " Letters to an Englishman." These expressed such advanced views for that time that they were the cause of his being sent to Newgate. The people, however, felt that to some extent he was a martyr on account of his politics, and on his release from prison, in 1820, he was enthusia siastically returned to Parliament for Westmin ster. He sat for this city 13 years, and until a change of office in Earl Grey's Cabinet caused him formally to vacate his seat, and he lost his election. In the following year, however, he was returned for Nottingham, which he represented till 1847. Afterwards, and until his elevation to the peerage as Lord Broughton, in 1851, he sat for Harwich. His lordship was Chief Commissioner of Woods and Forests, and President of the Board of Control in the Administrations of Lord Mel bourne and Lord John Russell. In his early years Lord Broughton appeared as the author of several k many of them illustrative of scenes of f w o o r r eig s n , travel, and he was also a contributor to some of the best of the Quarterlies. In default of male issue the title becomes extinct. 711 E CORPORATION AND MR. COMMIS• SIONER KERR. At the Court of Common Council, to-day, it was an nounced that the matters in question between the Corpo ration and Mr. Commissioner Kerr, the judge of the City of London Court, had been amicably arranged. The principal points in the arrangement were that Mr. Kerr should sit as a Commissioner at the Cen tral Criminal Court on the first Tuesday in each session, and at any time when the Recorder or Common Sergeant could not attend ; that in consideration of the claims made by the judge being entirely withdrawn he should be paid a salary of £l,BOO per annum, commencing from the Ist of January, 1868, as judge of the City of London Court, in addition to the £3OO received by him as a commissioner of the Central Criminal Court, and that he be paid the sum of 100 guineas 'as a settlement . of his claims.

Auberon Herbert presided, and in introducing Mr. Briggs to read a paper on "Partnerships of Industry," remarked that he was sure the meeting would regod with warm sympathy any scheme which would enable the labourer not only to bear the toil, but to share the pro)' of his productions. There was no man who had A stronger claim to gratitude than the man who made peace and good feeling grow in the hearts of men where once strife and ill-will existed—than the man who saw that it was possible to sweeten and lighten the toil of all those multitudes in the midst of whom we lived byplacing in their breasts new hope and an honourable ambition. Mr. Ancnn3AON BRIGGS, managing director of the firm of Henry Briggs, Son, and Co., (Limited), of the Whitwood Collieries, Normanton, than read an outline of a scheme of the Industrial PartnershipPriaciple to any class of undertakings wherein capital and labour are associated, whatever may be the relative proportion between the amount of the former and of the annual remuneration paid for the latter. This outline had been prepared for sub. mission to the royal commissioners appointed to inquire into the rules of trades unions ; and in addressing the commissioners the Messrs.. Briggs explained that the fundamental principle of the system adopted by them provided that the capitalist should receive a profit not less than the fair average rate of return generally obtainable from similar undertakings, before his workmen shall have any claim to receive anything beyond an average rate of wages. It was only in the event of the workmen being able, by care and economy in their work, to increase the profit of the undertakings beyond that average, that they proposed to allow them to participate, and then only in a proportion of the excess, the remainder going to the capi talist. After some remarks from Mr. GREENING, Mr. LUDLOW said if did not know that the practice of the Messrs. Briggs was better than their theory, he should think badly of them. Tneir plan was founded on the interest of the capitalist, the object being to extract from the worker the largest possible amount of labour for the smallest possible bribe in the way of bonus. But the profit did not belong solely to the crap/oyes ; the man who helped to create it had a right to a share. However, the Messrs. Briggs encouraged their men to take shares in the undertaking, and were worthy of much praise for the manner in which they had put an end to the warfare between employers and workers on their colliery. (Applause.) After further discussion, the CHAIRMAN stated that only recently Mr. Briggs had been threatened by some of the employers in his neighbourhood with an attempt to break down the principle at work at his colliery. The next subject of debate was on the best means of making co-operative societies mutually helpful, by form ing an organisation of all co-operators at home and abroad, also as to the best means of promoting a knowledge of co. operation among the people. Papers were contributed by the Rev. H. Solly, Mr. Pare (the hon. secretary), and Mr. Borrowman, of Glasgow. An adjournment here took place, and on the reassem. bling of the Congress, Mr. Morrison, M.P., took the chair. A discussion on the subject opened by the papers ensued. Mr. Ludlow stated his intention to move resolu- tions expressing the opinion that it was expedient that co-operative societies should form themselves into county or district unions, on the plan of mechanics' institutes ; that such unions should form themselves into a federation, which should meet yearly by delegates and select a central board, which should be representative of British co• opera. tion and take such steps as were advisable to communicate with the friends of co-operation abroad. A protracted discussion ensued, interspersed with other papers on the sa me subject, amongst them one by Mr. Holyoake ; and the resolutions having been disposed of, the remainder of the sitting was occupied by the discussion of the necessity of seeking an amendment of the law where it is found to hamper co-operative exertions. A public meeting wolf held in the evening. 'THIRD EDITION 3 st Bristol and Exeter 4 p.cent. 100 86 88 st Caledonian Qrs., No. 2 lOO ... st Do. Scot. N.E., 46 per cent lOO at Do.

At a quarter past seven the train was due which was to convey the two convicted prisoners, about whom the excitement arose, to Flint, and the crowd, knowing this, lingered about the County Hall till within about ten minutes of the time. A company of the 2d battalion of the 4th King's Own, which had been in bar racks all day, having come from Chester in the morning, under the command of Captain Blake, and numbering fifty men, were then marched out, and, as they passed by the ball, the police, under Captain Brown, fell in at the rear. In the centre of a posse of thirty of the latter were the prisoners, in the charge of Inspector Hughes, Lockwood, and other officers. The escort had scarcely got through the gates from the green when stones were thrown as they commenced their march of about 200 yards down a slight declivity to the railway station. On their right, extending along the line of march to the back of the station, was a high bank, formed by a new road, where loose pebbles were plentiful. On the left was the railway, the bridge over the cutting of the new Mold and _Denbigh branch line with its rising ascent affording, unfortunately, another vantage ground to the rioters, who had here also, within easy reach, a mound of rubbish, supplying missiles. From both sides stones were thrown in volleys by the mob, which numbered not fewer than 2,000 men, women, and boys. The women picked up large pebbles in their aprons and supplied the colliers, so that they were able to keep up, as they did, an incessant shower of stones. An accident favoured the assailants. The little wicket gate to the railway platform was closed in anticipation of a rush, and the escort had to enter from a recess through a side door. They could not readily do this, and fell into confusion, and for several seconds were exposed to a most merciless pelting of stones and pebbles. To the honour of the 4th (King's Own) they never in the midst of this quailed for one in stant. Cheered on and urged to forbear by their officers, they endeavoured to get shelter, heedless of the inju- ries they received. Equally courageous were the police, and equally obedient to their chief. Not knowing what had been done with the prisoners, the mob seemed baffled for a few seconds. Inspector Hughes had fallen bleeding to the ground, but Lockwood, the other inspector never re linquished his grasp of the prisoners and hurried them into the telegraph office. As far as a spectator at some distance could see, it was this which caused the building to be riddled with stones to the imminent danger of the soldiers and police inside. The full force of the attack at one time was expo• rienced there. Not a bit of glass was left in the window sashes, and the panels of the door and the panes in the sides of the desk were broken, hut the telegraph dial and works were uninjured. It was not till the mob threatened to surround the station that Mr. Clough, J.P., who was in the break van of the train, recommended that a defence should be made. Even then Captain Blake was reluctant to order the men to fire. The Riot Act had not been read, and the rioters seemed to be proceeding with impunity. One man after another, first a policeman and then a soldier, escaped into the station covered with blood, and the soldiers became half frantic. At last—whether with or without authority is not known—one of them fired through the front window of the telegraph-office, and a young man fell, whether wounded only or dead we cannot say. This caused the most active of the rioters to retire, but still stones came thick and fast, breaking the windows of the carriages of the train in waiting and doing other damage. The soldiers con tinned to fire for some ten minutes. Meanwhile the train was moved out of the station, the prisoners being in safe custody. Then, having room to manoeuvre, the men die continued firing, and fell into line. No regular volley had been fired, and only in one instance, where a man was shot down with a stone in his hand, did it appear that the soldiers were taking aim. As soon aa the military wero faced about the Riot Act was read by Mr. C. B. Trevor -Roper. The mob then fled in all directions, and the disturbance was virtually quelled. An important link connected with the Grimsby tragedy has been discovered. The coats worn b y y tho pri soner Charles Traves and by Robert Traves ave been found under a hedge amongst nettles. Search is being made for the guns. THE MONMOITVISHIRE COLLIERY EXPLOSION.-..... The inquest, opened some time since, upon the bodies of seven colliers, who were killed by an explosion of gas in the sinking pit, near Aberychan, has terminated. Every man of the gang at work was killed, tx, that the evidence as to the cause of the disaster was almost entirely con. jectural. The jury returned a verdict that the deceased were accidentally killed by an explosion of gas caused by a blower in the C wmnantddu Pit, and suggested that the Government Inspector's recommendation of an increase of air through the whole of the workings should be carried out, and that safety-lamps should be so placed as to be available at all times. UNLIMITED WATER POWER. —An engineer Of this city proposes to employ the waves of the ocean as a motive power for running mills, factories, &c. His plan is to build on the beach (at Long Branch, Rockaway, or elsewhere) a dyke several hundredlfeet in length, against which the waves of Old Ocean are privileged to break as wildly as they will, but are not to be allowed to recede. In the sea face of the dyke are the openings of conduits which conduct the water to a reservoir within the dyke. A canal from the reservoir reconducts the water by a cir cuitotvs route to the ocean, to turn, on its way, the wheels of as many mills as can be Jilt on the canal kiti3U L .m New Ygrit.2'imm SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLocs.

Race Glasses, byVoigtlander, are now no longer the ex elusive luxury of the rich. Since the great demand for photographic lenses has diminished, an opportunity has been afforded for applying mechanical power with the greatest success, whereby the cost of these beautiful and most perfect instruments is reduced in price in some instances to as much as 20 per cent. In fact they are now no dearer than those of the best French or English makers. At the depot CAllughan, 23A, New Bend-street, corner of Conduit-street, the patrons of the Derby may indulge , their taste iu the possession of a veritable Voigt!auder at comparatively trilling cost. It is superfluous to say the qnality ev:r matchless. RACING 'IXTUR ES.

Viscount STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE :moved for copies of any treaty concluded between this country and the United States relative to the Alabama claims. The subject led to a short discussion. The Earl of CLARENDON said he did not know what were thi instructions of Mr. Motley, but he was quite certain them was every disposition in this country to enter into the negotiations in the most friendly manner. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS-THIS EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock.

THE BANK OF EENGAL Mr. G. DUFF, in reply to Mr. George Gregory, a ad no actual order had been sent out for the closing of the agency established by the Bank of Bang:il within the Presidency, but the Government of India had given direc tions for the closing of the agency, whether it had finally been done ho could nct then say. MAGISTRATES' CLERKS. Mr. BRUCE, in reply to Mr. R. Gurney, said it was most desirable that all justices' clerks should be paid by salary, but as 30 counties had availed themselves of the act which had been passed, he did not think there was any reason to bring in a bill to make its provisions compulsory. PROPERTY AND INCOME TAX. Mr. STANSFELD, in reply to Mr. Pollard-Urquhart said a tenant or occupier could not deduct any payment of income tax from the landlord's rent before the tax had been actually paid. They could only be deducted after the amount had boon actually paid, and then the whole sum so paid could be deducted from the next payment he was called upon to pay his landlord. THE CONVIOT O'DONOVAN 110 S tl. Mr. BRUCE said he was very much obliged to Sir John Gray in giving him the opportunity of making a statement relative to the treatment of the treason felony convict O'Donovan Rosa, who, it had been stated, had been treated with undue severity by Laving his hands manacled for 30 days and nights,and that he had been com pelled, to escape starvation, actually to take his food like a beast of the field, on all fours. (Laughter.) It was most important that if the statement was true that it should be explained, and if false that it should be denied. The O'Donovan Rosa was convicted of treason felony in 1865, and in usual cases convicts were generally sent to Pentonville, but in these particular cases it was thought best for the health of the prisoners that they should be at once sent to Portland, which was, if he might use the term, one of the most pleasant of the convict prisons, but in April, 1866, his conduct bL•camo so violent, and had such a bad effect upon the other prisoners, that it was thought advisable to send him back to Millbank. Messrs. Knox and Pol lock had reported that Rosa was one of the most dan gerous of men, and that it was not safe to leave him un guarded for a moment ; as a day never passed without his being guilty of some act of insubordination. Since Rosar's removal the conduct of the treason-felony prisoners at Portland had greatly improved. After he had been kept 12 months at Millbank he was sant to Chatham in the year 1868, and then he began to repeat the conduct be had been guilty of at Portland ; ou the Ist of June he was reported for refusing to clean his cell, which was then in a very filthy condition; on the sth of June he was again reported for insubordination and wilfully de stroying the prison property ; on the 9th of June he was again reported as refractory and insulting conduct towards the Governor of the prison, but on the 15th of June, on the Governor visiting him in his cell, Rosa threw the foul contents of his cell utensil int o the face of the Governor. Now, for such an act ordinary prisoners would have been flogged, but he was only ordered to be kept in another cell unt 1 his con duct could be brought before the directors of the prison A person at this period obtained an interview with the prisoner on the sh)win,g that ho was about to defend his claim in some law suit ; and it was thus that the statement about his being confined for 35 days in manacles, which it was stated were never removed day nor night, and that ho had been kept in a dark cell for a number of days and his food given to him as though he were a dog. Now, it was not the fact that he had been kept for 35 days in a dark cell, but he had been so confined for part of a day iu consequence of his outrageous conduct. With respect to the manacles being kept on the whole of the lung period beth night and day, the truth w..s that the handcuffs were removed always to allow Rosa to take his food, and that they were never kept on at night ; and instead of its Wing true, as had been stated, that Rosa was broken down in bodily health in con sequence of the inhuman treatment to which ho had been subjected to, he had actually increased in weight very sensibly since his ad nission to the prison. (Hear, hear.) • He could not imagine that any one, excepting an Irish member of Parliament—(liughter)—could believe that such tr.•;.tinent as ha I b.:eu stated by the writer of the letter upon which the hon. baronet had evidently founded his question. Rosa had nobody but himself to blame fur the hardships he had had to undergo, but he had the satis-' faction of stating that he had improved in his conduct which had formerly exercised such a baneful influence upon his fallow prisoners. THE PORTUGUESE GOVERNMENT. Mr. OT WAY, in reply to Mr. Dalglish, said he could not say what course the Portuguese Government proposed to pursue with respect to the claims upon it. in one case Mr. Lindsay, who had formerly been a member of that house had a claim upon it, and a proposal had been made for its liquidation. Sir G. Murray had been instructed to urgo the settlement of those claims, but with what effect he could not yet say. THE STATUTE LAW. Mr. HADFIELD then called the attention of the house to the condition of the statute law, which he said was in a most objectionable state. Mr. GLADSTONE said all the attention that at that period could be given would be given to take steps for a revision of the statute law. rLEFT SITTING.] HOUSE OF COMNIONS.—LAsT EVENING. THE NEW LAW COURTS. Mr. LAYARD, in reply to Mr. C. Bentiuck, said the sketch of Mr. Street now iu the library of the house was very b •autiful, but as it was a mere sketch ho did not think it necessary to say whether it had received the ap proval of the Government or not. If the Courts should be placed on the Thames Embankment he would take care that a proper medal should be made out and placed in the library, so that there might be an expression of opinion on the subject. (Bear, hear. (What he had suggested was the style best adapted to the purpose would be Gothic, but not ecclesiastical Gothic. With respect to the three principle towers in the sketch ho could not at that moment say for what purpose they were intended. THE BANKRUPTCY BILL. The house then went into committee on this bill, which fixed the miniminn for bankruptcy at .£5O owing, while the bankrupt would be liable to all the penalties of the act if he made any false statements or reservation. Clauses to 28 inclusive were agreed to. _ The further consideration of the Bill was adjouroed till a two o'clock morning sitting on Tuesday. OXFORD UNIVERSITY STATUTES BILL. This Bill passed through Committee, and was read a third time and passed. The house then adjourned. PRICE OF GOLD. The quotation of gold at Paris Is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 251. 271 c. per II sterling On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of 104 d. per ounce tor standard gold, it appeArs that gold at the above price is of higher value in London than in Paris. At the Hight Court of Justiciary, on Monday, an important trial for stealing a letter containing £BOO in notes from the mail bag on the Caledonian Railway be tween Carstairs Junction and Edinburgh resulted in the conviction of the thief, a, fireman in the company's em ploy, and the sentence of seven ye ars' penal servitude was imposed. w ill doubt the valuable I ND VEHTisEmENT.)—Rencefor th no one properties of Du Barry's health-restori to the t g cvalen a Aral:dblessings ea I n valids' and Infants' Food, since nhousßands of it has already received from Invalids t w , :iose i l position had been deemed hopeless, we may now add tha fh. after in h. the Pope, whose health hasdbieelntrpeeartfinecetlnyt.' res\verVuobtey i f t romth t e y c tr a y ze ea tt r e s d o o f unsuccessful me ,21 1866.
