T HE LATE MAJOR CHARLES TZDEBSKI, polish Au g who, after andears of exile, died at Slieernes , ; August, left a widow four young children totall s • i provided for. He was personally known to and you respected by the late Lord Dudley Contra Stuart, and durnchg his life supported himself and family by teaching foreign languages. Unfortunately, his death threw his wife and children into the most abject misery, and they often re mained in , winter without food or fuel, though Mrs. Tzdebski, a person of good education, strove to the utmost to maintain her children by her exemplary industry and -Acquirements. To enable her to earn her livelihood, she was advised to open a day-school at Greenwich, as offering a chance of success ; but the furnishing of a part of the house, hiring of a piano, and fitting out the school-room, requires an outlay of money. Those who know Mrs. Tzdebski to be fully qualified for this business, and to possess a high moral and reli g i ous c h aracter, venture to Ppeal to the benevolent and charitable to help them in raisin g a sum of £3O, which would thus secure an honour .l)le mode of living to this truly meritorious though un • "IVY widow. 100 406 107 100 107 109 100 -- -- 100 1071 108 i, 1071 8 Bedford andßlachley i all Ln & N.W . . .. , I . fie. do. 6io.c.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. GRAY V. FALCONER. This is all appeal from a decision of the Master of the Rolls dismissing the plaintiff's bill with costa. The plain tiff and his late father carried on business in Wauchope ter race, Commercial-road, and he filed his bill to set aside, under the statute of Elizabeth, two settlements made by his father in favour of his widow and children on the ground that ho was a creditor of his father to the extent of £2,1300, and that the settlements were made when his father was; in insolvent circumstances. The Lords Justices were of opinion that the plaintiff had not proved that he was a creditor of his late father for any sum whatever, and dismissed the appeal with costs. SECONDARIES' COURT. (Before the Coroner of London and a Jury.) ACTION AGAINST THE SHERIFFS OF LONDON FOR AR RESTING THE WRONG MAN.--HARWAR V. THE SHERIFIE OF LONDON. This was a court of inquiry to assess the damages laid at £2OO, alleged to have been sustained in consequence of the wrongful arrest of the plaintiff, judgment having gone .by default. The jury awarded £75 as damages. CRIMINAL COURT.-(TIIIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before the Lord Chief Baron.) - John Spencer, 60, tutor, was again indicted this morning for the commission, of a heinous offence upon one of his pupils. The prisoner was tried and acquitted upon two similar indictments last night. The jury found him guilty, and sentenco of death was recorded. STEALING A LETTER. Charles Knowles, 43, letter-carrier, was indicted for stealing a post letter, the property of her Majesty's Post master-General, containing two half sovereigns. The offence was proved, and the jury returned a verdict of guilty. The Lord Chief Baron, in passing sentence, dwelt on the hardship of the case, seeing that the prisoner was the father of six children, and had been in the service of the Post-office for eighteen years, during which time he bore an ins. proachable character. Owing to the indigent circumstances in which he must have been placed, he had yielded to temptation. He should only sentence him to e i ghteen months' imprisonment. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Crompton.) PERIIIRY. Henry Fayerman, grocer, was indicted for wilful and corrupt perjury committed by him before the Select Com mittee of the House of Commons appointed to try the merits of a petition presented against the return of Sir E. Lacon for Great Yarmouth. The short facts of the case are, that the prisoner swore before the committee, that at the Victoria Garden, on the 18th of April, ten days before the nomination, Sir E. Lacon came up to him and said " Are you going to support me and Mr. Stacy." Prisoner said he had not made up his mind, and Sir Edmond said " You want some money." He said it would be acceptable, whereupon Sir Edmond gave him a £5 note, and promised to get hint a situation on the railway. The principal witness examined was Sir E. Lacon, who distinctly denied ever having had any such conversation with the prisoner, or that he ever gave him the £5, or pro mised him a situation in exchange for his vote. (The case was proceeding when we went to press.) THIRD COURT. (Before the Recorder.) Charles White, bricklayer, was indicted for stealing a copper, valued at £2. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and he was sentenced to six months' imprisonment with hard labour. POLICE INTELLIGE.N CE-( THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE IN A POLICE CELL.—Ellen Wardle, a woman of dissipated habits, was charged before Mr. Beadon, as follows : Police-constable, 115 C, said he saw the prisoner in the Haymarket in a state of intoxication, and finding he could do nothing with her he was compelled to take her into custody. Inspector Holden, of the C division, said that a short time after she was locked in the cell, notwithstanding a watch was kept on her owing to her having done the same thing on former occasions, he found her with a piece of string tied so tightly round her throat that she was black in the face, and but for the timely discovery there was little doubt that serious consequences would have ensued. He at once cut the string and had her into the reserve room. Mr. Beadon remanded her for a few days. ANNOYING AND THREATENING THE STEWARD OF A CLUB.—William Hutchings was charged with annoying and threatening to do for Mr. James Fitzpatrick, the steward of the Stafford Club, Saville-row. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared for thl complainant, and, having stated the ease, Mr. Beadon, after cautioning the defendant, ordered him to enter into his recognisances in the sum of £2O for three months.

We were fairly supplied with sheep, which moved off steadily, at full quotations. Lambs, the show of which was moderately good, were firm in price, with a steady inquiry. There was a full average business doing in calves on former terms. Pigs and Welch cows changed hands slowly, at late rates. The general quality of the stock was inferior.

Sinkins and Sheppard, of the Frome divi sion, have held private meetings at the Temperance-hall, Road, since Monday, for the purpose of investigating this mysterious case. The chief constables of the counties of Wilts and Somerset, and the superintendents of police of the districts of Frome and Trowbridge, have been present on these occasions. A great many witnesses have been ex amined, including Mr. and Mrs. Kent, the father and mother of the murdered child, the three maid servants, the man servant, tke boy who cleaned the knives, the washerwoman of the family and her daughter, and siaveral other persons. On Saturday night, at the request of Mr. Kent, Superin tendent Summers searched two uninhabited houses at the bottom of the lawn of Mr. Kent's residence, bu t nothing was discovered tending to throw any light on this mysteri ous affair. So many rumours are afloat, several of which have come to the ears of Mr. Kest, that he has in structed the local police to caution people as to what they say. The statements that a reward had been offered by the Seeretary of State for the Home Department, and that a detective officer had been sent down from London to inves tigate the affair are without foundation. Mr. Kent has s uggested that the servants who formerly lived with him might have secreted themselves in the house and committed the murder, and at his requer, the police have instituted inquiries which proves this supposition to be groundless. On Tuesday evening, about 8 o'clock, the nurse ma id was a pp r ehended on suspicion by Mr. Superintend en t F oley, and was remanded to Friday next. GUANO.—In the course of the season 1858.59 15 ships were loaded with guano at the Kooria Mooria Islands. The quantity was 14,250 tons, and the royalty due upon it, at 4s. per ton, £2,850.

PRIVATE BUSINESS The Lords' amendments to the Milford Haven Railway and Docks Bill, and the Waveney Valley Railway Bill were considered and agreed to. The Monkland Railway Bill was considered, and ordered for third reading; and the Atheney and Ennis Junction Railway Bill was read a second time. BANKRUPTCY AND INSOLVENCY BILL. On the motion of the ATTORNEY-GENERAL the house went into committee, resuming at clause 78, which was agreed to. Clauses 79 to 81 inclusive were also agreed to with some verbal amendments. On clause 82, Lord HENLEY moved an amendment to the effect that there should be certain prohibitions imposed on solicitors acting as official assignees carrying on business in bank ruptcy and insolvency. ' Mr. E. JAMES considered such prohibitions were neces sary, and that it would not be desirable to have a solicitor acting in regard to an estate in bankruptcy or insolvency when his partner was an official assignee. The ATTORNEY -GENERAL said he would make provision in the bill to carry out the views of the noble lord (Henley). After some discussion, the amendment was withdrawn, and the clause was agreed to. On clause 83, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, in reply to Sir F. KELLY, stated that it was not intended to abolish the office of messengers during the lifetime of the gentlemen who filled these offices at present. Mr. HENLEY and Mr. E. JAMES considered that the clause was not sufficiently clear, and was calculated to create a double jurisdiction—that of bailiff as well as mes senger. The clause was then agreed to. On clause 84, Mr. MURRAY moved an amendment to the effect that the office of "Accountant in Bankruptcy" should be abolished. The expense s,f the accountant's remuneration, together with the costs of hi s c l er k s, amounted last year to , 127, and the duties of accountant consisted merely of keep ing a pass-book between theßank of E n gland and the assignee. The bill proposed to do away with the office, but not until the death of the present occupier, while he was anxious for the immediate abolition of an office that was costly and useless, and for the transfer of the duties to the registrar general of the Court of Bankruptcy. Mr. BOUVERIE said that as they would have to com pensate the present accountant-general and to pay the registrar-general, it would be more economical to retain the services of the former during his lifetime. Besides, the house ought to be cautious in removing any check in deal ing with so large an amount of money as was entrusted to the care of the Bankruptcy Court. Mr. E. JAMES and Mr. WILLIAMS advocated the imme diate abolition of the office. The ATTORNEY -GENERAL said he had thought it more advisable to retain the services of a legal officer than to dismiss him, and give him his salary for doing nothing. If they sent this officer away without giving him his full salary they would be doing what was never done before. Mr. HENLEY thought that the Attorney-General ought to inform the house what were the duties of the ac countant, as the office was described as a sinecure. Mr. PONINGH AM strongly objected to the principle of compensating officials with full salaries. Mr. HUNT thought that the accountant might be placed in some other office, the duties of which he could discharge without receiving any additional remuneration, and that the chief registrar should discharge the duties which now devolved on the accountani without an augmen tation being made to his salary. (Hear, hear.) After some further conversation, Mr. CROSSLEY suggested that the house should divide. • The ATTORNEY-GENERAL considered that would be the most desirable course to make progress with the bill. He denounced the suggestion of depriving the ac countant of his office without compensation, which he said emanated from the other side of the house, as a measure that would justify the more extravagant and democratical propositions. Mr. HENLEY strongly objected to the terms of the right hon. and learned gentleman as applied to members of his (Mr. Henley's) side of the house, and he would not allow the imputation cast by him (the Attorney-General) to remain uncontradicted. His party never advocated the doctrine of not compensating officers. He advised those hon. members who were desirous of making progress with the bill to endeavour to keep the hon. and learned gentleman quiet. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) The house then divided, when the numbers were— For the amendment Against Majority The clause was then agreed to. SONNET: PARLIAMENTARY. Has FREEDOM fled the Senate of our land ?

Newport, Mon., July 8, 1860. T. A Cabinet Council was held yesterday afternoon at the official residence of the First Lord of the Treasury, in Downing -street. GOVERNMENT EMIGRATION.—The Government emigrant vessel Telegraph, of 1,148 tons, Captain Nalkin, belonging to Messrs. H. T. Wilson and Chambere, of Liverpool, sailed from Birkenhead on the Bth inst. for Sydney, New South Wales, with 371 emigrants, under charge of Surgeon-Superintendent Jas. S. Hughes, M.D. MELANCHOLY DEATH OF A GENTLEMAN.—Yes terday Mr. W. Carter, coroner for East Surrey, held an in quiry at the White Swan Inn, Nine Elms, Vauxhall, into the circumstances attending the death of Mr. T. Buckney, aged 80 years, an independent gentleman, of No. 6, York street, Battersea. Mr. Thomas Buckney said that he was an engineer, and resided at 73, Patterson •street, Plumstead, Kent. The deceased was his father. He first heard of his death on Sunday morning last, through a man calling on him. His father's house was 600 or 700 yards from the mill pond where he was found drowned. Nothing was found in writing to show how he got into the water. The jury re turned a verdict, that the deceased was found drowned in the mill-pond, but how he got into th, water there was no evidence to satisfy them. SHOCKING DEATH.—An inquest was held at the Guildhall, Doncaster, on Tuesday, before Mr. John Lister, borough coroner, to inquire into the cause of the death of Miss Wyatt, aged 52 years, a lady of independent means, whose death was caused in the following singular manner : —She had been writing a letter on Sunday night, either to a relative or friend, and for the purpose of sealing the enve lope the taper was lit and placed upon the table. Her sister, who was in the room, accidentally knocked the taper off the table, and it fell upon her sister's muslin dress, which of course speedily ignited. Both of them lost their presence of mind, and ran out of the room shouting for help. A man who was passing at the time, and other persons, at once rendered assistance, but the lady received such inju ries that her life was at once despaired of. She had on a steel crinoline, which hindered in a great measure the put ting out of the flames. All that medical skill could suggest was done for her, but she died the next morning at half-past six o'clock. A verdict in accordance with the above facts was returned. SUICIDES AT WOOLWICII.--A coroner's jury, presided over by Mr. Carttar, coroner for West "Cent, having assembled at the Gun Tavern, Woolwich, on view of the body of Corporal Coombes, a bandsman of the garri son, who last week committed suicide by precipitating him self from a window of the Royal Artillery Infirmary, re solved on addressing a note to Gen. Dacres, recommending that in all cases in which patients exhibit symptoms of in sanity they should be accommodated in that part of the hos pital which is secured by g r ati ngs a t th e windows, so as to prevent an occurrence now becoming frequent. The unfor tunate deceased had made a former attempt at self-destruc tion a few days previously by cutting his throat with his razor. Four cases of suicide have occurred among the mi litary at Woolwich during the past week, three of whom lay side by side in the dead-house, ready for interment, and they were all pronounced men of a disordered intellect, and subject to fits of temporary insanity. WESTMINSTER NEW BRIDGE, &C.—With the exception of the superstructure the immense block of new masonry extending over the space formerly occupied by two arches of the old bridge on the Middlesex side is com pleted, and preparations are being made for the extension of the temporary wooden footway, which at present reaches only two-thirds of the distance from Bridge. street, Lambeth, to the Middlesex side, and it i s on l y i n t en d e d to construct as far as the new work abovementioned, upon which the road for foot-passengers will be carried in con nection with the wooden bridge until the old structure is. demolished. GOVERMENT EMIGRATION.—Her Majesty's Emi gration Commissioners chartered yesterday afternoon, the 9th inst., two vessels for the conveyance of soldiers wives and families to India—viz., the Conway, of 1,14$ tons, at the rate of £l6 9s. 3d. per statute adult, and the Star of the South, of 1,253 tons, at £l4 15s. per statute adult; the for mer vessel to sail from Liverpool for Calcutta, and the latter from the same port for Kurrachoe , on such days as the com m i ss i oners may appoint between the Ist and 18th of August. THE JAPANESE MODE OF EATING OYSTERS.— The Japanese were being vigorously feted at New York, and dragged about to view the "lions. Among other things they were taken to a w eddin g , on the conclusi on of whic some of them wer e re q uested to sign their name s to the marriage certifica te, which they did. During their visit to the fish market they were, it is stated, invited to partake of oysters. They were evidently unused in the article in question, for when one was presented on the half shell to Eton Zu Tsue Zodo, that gentleman attempted to eat the shell and all, and upon disco rering his mistake, featso disgusted that, together with his companion he left the mar ket without delay. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair shortly after 12 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. On the motion of Mr. C. FonsTmt, the following was agreed to :—" That Standing Order No. 203 be suspended, in the case of the Athenry and Ennis Junction Railway Bill, and that the bill be read a second time to-morrow." THE CENSUS BILL. The early part of the morning was occupied in the pre• mutation of petitions against the religi‘ms profession clause in the Census Bill, from different ruts of the metropolis and the country generally, and signed by several thousands. A few petitions in favour of the retention of the clause were presented, and elicited some ironical cheers. CHINA. Sir J. PAKINGTON moved for statements showing the total amount of grants made by estimates submitted to Parliament in the present session to meet the expenses o f hostilities in China, including the estimate lately presented to the house; the additions (as nearly as the same can be calculated) made to the Army and Navy Estimates of the current year, on account of the contemplated operations ; votes to cover the deficiencies in the estimates of last year, arising from the expense of pre paring for these operations ; and, votes of credit, showing, up to latest date to which the same can be given, the amounts expended under fallowing heads :—l, pay and allowances of troops sent to China; 2, cost of transport of troops to China; 3, cost and freight of naval and military stores sent to China, including coals ; 4, other charges ; and showing dates of various orders given for sending troops and stores to China. The return was ordered. NATIONAL DEFENCES. Mr. MACKINNON gave notice that Oh the bringing up of the report of the National Defence Commission, he would move " That, in the opinion of this house, the existing naval and military force was sufficient for the defence of the country." THE CENSUS BILL. On the motion of Sir G. C. LEWIS, the house went into committee on this bill. Clauses 1,2, and 3 were agreed to. On clause 4, Mr. BAINES said it was a very general opinion that the demand made by this clause for a declaration of religion was most objectionable. On no occasion did the feelings of members on the Ministerial side of the house coincide more closely with their constituents than on this question. This declaration of religious opinion was quite novel in re ference to the census. On one occasion an inquiry of this kind was made in Ireland, but the result was not such as to induce the Government to repeat it in the Irish Census Bill for this year. An inquiry into religious opinions was objectionable both on the ground of principle and feeling. He had heard very strong objections on the part of the members of that house who belonged to the State Establish ment—indeed these were more numerous than amongst the Dissenting members. Having adverted to the report of Mr. Horace Mann in reference to the question of inquiry into religious opinion, in which it was stated that no less than 5,200,000 persons who were in a position to attend divine worship were not present in any church or chapel throughout the kingdom on the Census Sunday; he said it was evident that there was a large number of persons who had no religion. On this ground the bill was objectionable ; also becauseit was not just to call on any person to declare his own religion. Besides, the inquiry would no doubt elicit very painful and outrageous protests on the part of several persons, which no hon. member would wish to see placed on the records of the census. This clause would give an undue authority to the enumerators, who would have to fill up returns in many cases, and might be influenced by a strong religious bias. It had been advanced in support of the clause that the inquiry into religious profession existed in countries on the Continent, but there was no analogy between these and England. The former were under despotic forms of government, and derived grants from the State, so that they were necessarily subject to Government surveillance and control. He contended that no reliance could be placed on the returns, and con cluded by moving the omission from the 4th clause of the words " religious profession." Sir G. LEWIS said, as he was answerable for this bill, and as it excited considerable interest throughout the country, he hoped the house would afford him an opportu nity of making explanations in reference to the views he entertained. In his opinion the presumption must be con sidered to be in favour of including religion amongst the subjects comprehended in a census. It was true that it had not been the practice in this country to require any declaration of religious profession ; but in every civilised community, wherever difference of religion prevailed, such declarations were comprised in the census. The report of the Statistical Congress recently held at Brussels was in favour of this declaration of religion as being material to the composition of a proper census. A religious census prevailed in Austria, Bavaria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Prussia, Saxony, Sweden, and Wurtem burg, but it was not practised in Holland and Spain. The right hon. baronet then cited extracts from different autho ritative documents on the subject in support of a religious census. They had the example of a religious census in Ireland, and though it was taken by Royal commission it was quite as valuable for information as if it re sulted from an Act of Parliament. That census was made in 1834, and it appeared that so far from there being any disinclination to give information, every assist ance was rendered the commission by the clergymen of the Established Church, the Roman Catholic clergy, and the different sects of Protestant dissenters. On the whole there was presented to her Majesty a census which as re garded religious opinion very closely approximated to truth, and the subject was one with respect to which per fect accuracy could not be expected. The result of that eensus showed that there were in Ireland, in the year in question 6,427,000 Roman Catholics, 852,000 members of the Established Church, 642,000 Presbyterians, and 21,000 of different Protestant dissenters, and the religious opinions of 18,951 could not be ascertained, owing, chiefly, to change of residence. That showed that one of tho grand difficulties against a religious census was the acquisition of correct information. In framing the bill he had to consider the plan adopted in 1851, or that which he now proposed, and after mature consideration he felt bound to give preference to the latter. (Hear, hear.) In the first place, with regard to the former, Mr. Horace Mann went into matter foreign to the subject. For in stance, he commenced by a historical description of the Jews—(laughter)—then a history of the Church of Eng land, of Swedenborgians, and other sects, and they con tained the 39 articles, which he thought rather unne cessary to lay on the table of that house. (Laughter.) The number of persons attending a place of worship on a certain Sunday was a very fallacious mode of arriving at a knowledge of the religious opinions. In bringing forward this measure there was no desire on his part to give any advantage to the members of the Church of England. What he desired was merely to ascertain the truth, and the plan he proposed was adopted merely be cause he thought it was the best calculated to effect that object. The clause had the approval of a large number, including the heads of the Established Church, and he was not aware that the Catholics entertained any objections to the bill, and though that body in this country was not large, they made themselves heard. (Laughter.) He was ready to admit, however, that the Dissenters in this coun try were opposed to the 4th clause, and those in Scotland were also hostile to the measure. (Hear.) In Ireland it was understood that the religious declaration would be required by both the members of the Established Church and Roman Catholics, but they offered no opposition to the Irish Census Bill. He had received a letter from the Registrar-Ge neral stating his apprehension that, with the opposition.to wards the 4th clause, there would be no chance of acquiring correct information for the religious census. Ile had no idea that he would have had to encounter such opposition to the bill, and he gave the Dissenters credit for sincerity in their opposition. He believed that this opposition was based on feeling and sentiment, and not on sound argument; how ever, under the circumstaices, he felt bound to withdraw the words in question. (Cheers.) Mr. B. OSBORNE contended that there was no analogy between France and Prussia and this country, for in the former the Government subsidised the different sects, while the Dissenters in this country repudiated any State al lowance. He considered that the practice of a free country like America would be a better precedent fcr England, and the opinion in that country was very hostile to any demand for a declaration of religious profession. Ile defended the returns of Mr. Horace Mann, with which, he asserted, that the Bishop of Oxford was satisfied so far as that right reverend prelate's diocese was concerned. He objected to the clause as an infringement of religious belief, as well as on other grounds. Mr. HENLEY made a few observations, and expressed a hope that the Government would not revert to the plan adopted in 1851. Sir G. LEWIS replied in the negative. After a few remarks from Mr. Mansir, Lord R. CECIL said he considered that the withdrawal of the words in question ought to afford satisfaction to the members of the church establishment. It was now appa rent that it was the latter who desired for correct infor mation, which the Dissenters were desirous of concealing. He stated that the returns of 1851 were most erroneous, and asserted that the Dissenters had represented in many in stanies that on the census Sunday their chapels were at tended by a much larger number than they could possibly contain. Mr. E. JAMES accused the Homo Secretary of having made a speech more suited to a philosopher than a states man, and having been most unjust and cynical in his re marks relative to those Dissenters who acted conscientiously in regard to this question. After a long discussion, Lord PALMERSTON explained the nature of the pro posed inquiry, hnd expressed his opinion that there was not a shadow of reason in the objections which had been urged. When the penalty was withdrawn no Nonconformist had any cause for complaint. lie regretted that the Non conformists had adopted the course they had taken. The discussion having been continued amidst much im patience by Lord J. Manners, Sir C. Douglas, and Mr. Dawson, the amendment was agreed to. Mr. CIIILDERS moved that the word "education " be inserted. the lace at Sir O. LEWIS said he did not know what it meant— whether it meant the nature of educ ation or p which persons were educated. The amendment was negatived, a nd the bill passed through committee. CENSU S (IRELAND) BILL.
