ALLEGED WHOLESALE SWINDLING OF WEST-END T RADE SMEN.—Alfred Howard, a gentlemanly-looking man, was brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt on a warrant by Mr. Beechey, a divisional detective, charged with ob taining two dresses of the value of £aB, from Messrs. W . and C. Jay, mourning warehousemen, Regent-street, with intent to defraud. Mr. Froggatt appeared for the prosecution, and in open ing the case said the prisoner was charged with obtaining goods by false pretences from Messrs. Jay, but he thought after his worship had heard the evidence that he would agreo with him that it was rather one of larceny. Mr. Ellis Richards, in the employ of Messrs. Jay, said that on the sth Oct. the prisoner:called, accompanied by a female, and selected two dresses of the value of £3B, and when asked for his name gave a card with "A. C. Howard 8, Bolton-street," on it, and the goods were sent last Sa turday. Mr. Austin, employed at Messrs. Jay's, said on calling on the prisoner on Wednesday last he intended to pay for the goods on delivery. Wm. Roper, porter to Mr. Jay, said that on Saturday last he received a parcel containing two dresses produced, and he delivered them at No. 8, Bolton-street. Ile saw the prisoner, and after making a remark about the amount of the bill, saying there was an overcharge of £3, and that he had dealt for nine or ten years with the firm, he wrote the cheque produced for £3, and then the cheque produced for £3B on Messrs. Hare's bank, and handed it to him, and he gave prisoner a receipt, and he handed the cheque to Mr. Phillips, the manager at Messrs. Jay's. Mr. Froggatt asked for a remand, which was granted, the officer stating that he believed there would ho other cases against the prisoner. THAMES. A LUCKY THIEF.—Ann Carter, a bloated looking woman,aged 30, who is known to havo robbed a great many captains of ships and others, was brought np, on re mand, before Mr. Paget, charged with stealing £34 from Captain Henry Stephenson, of the schooner Ji.hu Murray, of Wuitby, in Yorkshire. This was the third appearance of tho prisoner on this charge. ➢lr. Paget— On the last two occasions Stephenson has not appeared. I cannot keep her any longer. She must go. Discharge her. WESTMINSTER. DESPERATE ATTEMPT AT SUlClDE.—Elizabeth Day who at first gave the name of Elizabeth Knight, 45 years of age, who had evidently seen better days, was charged with attempting to commit suicide by drowning. It appeared from the evidence that at eight o'clock this mottling the prisoner was seen by Henry Patience, a labourer on a brick barge at Thames Bank, trying to climb over the railings at high tide, and ho prevented her; she got away and ran down some steps lealing to the water, but was atoppod by a man named Spencer, whom she im plored to let her make away with herself„and on the road to the station she was with difficulty kept from the rail ings. Frank, 237 B, proved that an hour and•a half before the occurrence spoken to by the witnesses, ho was called to Battersea, and brought her over the bridge, and sent her away ; and at half-past nine she was given in custody by the two witnesses, and then expressed her determination to destroy herself. _ Prisoner being duly cautioned, said she " was very wicked. I have been out of my mind for a few days, and wished my husband and all I loved to hell, and so 1 tried to drown myself." She was fully committed for trial to the Middlesex Sessions. AUSTRALIA.

EUROPEAN ASSURAYCE COMPANY. The hearing of the petition for winding up the affairs of this company came before Vice-Chancellor James this morning. Mr. Glasse, Q.C., called attention to the fact that the petitioner Cowper had declined to swear that he believed the society to be insolvent, al though in his affidavit he had sworn he was pre pared to do ao. Mr. Miller read the affidavits of Mr. Lake, gene ral manager of the company, which alleged that the company perfectly solvent, and a bl e t o cover allitsli as ab w ilities, that the statements of the petition were untrue, and that now assets would become available in course of time. _ _ A long argument then ensued to show the true state of the company's affairs, but his Honour had not given his decision when we went to press.

The inaugural conference of thesnewly-formed Educa tion League was, as we yesterday announced, opened on Tuesday morning in the Exchange Assembly Rooms, l3ir mingham. Mr. George Dixon, M.P., was elected chairman of the conference. Mr. FRANCIS Arors, secretary, read a number of letters from gentlemen unable to attend the meeting. Mr. JESSE CALLINGS, hon. secretary, read the report of the provisional committee. The report, after quoting statistics largely to show the extent of the necessity for education by a national system, proceeded to discuss the best principles on which such a system could be framed. The advocates of extended education found themselves obliged to conclude - that the voluntary system had failed to meet the wants of the country. It was felt by several gentlemen in Birmingham that the time had come for the establishment of an organisation uniting all those who throughout the country desired to promote a really national system of education, reaching all places unpro vided for, based as to means upon local taxation supple mented by imperial grants, becoming, therefore, unsec tarian and free, and having the power to compel attendance as the only way of overcoming parental neglect. The membership of the league numbered now 3,500, including 40 members of the House of Commons and between 303 and 400 ministers of religicn. Branches had been formed in London, Manchester, Bradford, Bristol, Leicester, Sheffield, Liverpool, Leeds, Huddersfield, Exeter, Bath, Warrington, Devenport, Carlisle, Merthyr Tydvil, Weduesbury, and other places. About f 14,000 had been subscribed, payable by annual instalments extending over ten years. The work of the League would be to collect and disseminate through its various branches all available information on the subject of education, and to promote the adoption by the Legislature of measures which should ensure the education of every child in the country, and which should provide instruction so accessible and so graduated that the child of the poorest artisan should have it within his power to fit himself for any position capable of being attained by a citizen of the United Kingdom. The treasurer reported donations and subscriptions already received amounting to £1,212 10s. 6d. The Ven Archdeacon SANDFORD moved the adoption of the report. He urged the overwhelming necessity and the national danger which pressed upon them as a reason for united and determined action. He adhered to the view that voluntary education would not secure the remedy for national ignorance. Compulsory rate-supported and unde tiominational educationwas the only available and effectual system. Mr. GEORGE DAWSON, M.A., seconded the motion. In founding a national system, they must establish it on a basis of simplicity, of great breadth, that it might bear the strain of the future. They were not going to patch the existing system, as a garment of semi-charity and semi-ecclesiasticism. They were no longer afraid of Government. Government meant the nation acting itself in the best and most useful manner. The leaders of voluntaryism had saved them the trouble of refutation; they had recanted, and confessed that voluntaryism in education had failed. He liked to see the tax-gatherer come when the object of the tax was a good one; and one of the pleasantest sights to him would be the advent of the tax-gatherer when he came to lay the hand of national compulsion on society, and make them pay to secure for every child in the nation a sound primary education. They were going to take a State sheep out of the fold of the Church—relieve the Church from a burden which had been too long imposed on it. They had lately taken a Church sheep out of the fold of the State—the Irish Church. The work of education was the work of the State. It belonged to the whole nation. As well talk of a denominational water-cart, or a sectarian vaccinator, as denominational education or sectarian school. The report was adopted. Mr. E. POTTER, Carlisle, in moving the election of council and other offices, expressed his strong sense of the necessity of a national system of education on the scheme of the League. Professor FAWCETT, M.P., then moved that a bill em bodying the principles of the League be introduced into Parliament next session. They were about to give a pledge to the nation that something was to be done to bring the question of education to a practical issue. The question was now ripe for legislation. If a bill were placed before the country by the League, the country would be able to express its opinion upon it. It was said that they should wait till the Government measure promised for next session were brought in. It was too bright a pros pect to suppose that the Government bill would embody the principles of the League. If it did, then the League would give up its measure, and give all its support to Government. 1:no , s—antial point upon which they wore agreed to sink all minor differences was- that they were determined that elementary education should be , guaranteed to every boy and girl in the country, and if in any part there was a deficiency of educational appliances, then schools shouldbe built and maintained out of rates. Only where a deficiency existed would the Government interfere. He was in favour of the support of such schools out of local rates in preference to taking money out of the national funds. In the latter case voluntary schools would have no chance of main taining an existence, and on the score of eco nomical administration it would not be wise. His own fear was that free education would weaken the obligation which the parent should feel to educate his children. But on this point he was perfectly willing to sacrifice his own fear. He advised that their bill should be introduced the very first week of the session, and forced on through all its stages. His experience in the house had convinced him that persistency was of the greatest impor tance. He had much pleasure in moving the resolution. Professor TROROLD ROGERS seconded the resolution. If they could only obtain a concession of the necessity of national education, all the other points of their programme would follow by inevitable logic. Compulsory education must be unsectarian. For well-defined reasons ho accepted that most necessary conclusion The scheme must be compulsory, for anything like a Permissive Bill would be wholly and hopelessly useless. He agreed with Archdeacon Denison that all permissive legislation was a sham and a hoax. In the United States there was such an extensien of a system of education that compulsion was unn , -cesary, public opinion so strongly urged every parent to send leis child to school. This he urged in answer to the fear of Professor Fawcett that parents would cease. to feel the obligation to send their children to school. If they had not the adhesion of a very large number of the members of the House of Commons, they could remember that no great agitation ever originated under any large patronage of persons of influence. He urged them to stick to their programme, and they would win. The enemies of national education counted on disunion. Let them keep to their principles, and they would secure their object. At the afternoon sitting, Mr. GEORGE Dixon, M.P., read a paper on "The best System for National Schools, based upon Local Rates and Government Grants." The scheme of the League, he argued, need not involve taking imme diate charge of all existing schools where education was being satisfactorily carried on. In such schools it might be that no further action of the State would be required. It would suffice if provision were made for the transfer to the school boards of those schools whose managers desire such transfer. Mr. Dixon sketched a measure for national education. Professor TROROLD ROGERS read a paper on the ques tion as to the source from which the funds necessary to provide the machinery for secular education should come. If it could be shewn, he said, that all the benefits of a sys tem of primary education tended to the material advan tage of the class for which they sought to provide such an education, and would produce no effect upon the general well-being of society, the cost of supplying that education ought to be entirely defrayed by the parties who desired the benefit. Nor would it be impossible to obtain such funds from the direct contributions of the class for whose purposes such a tax would be expended. But the educa tion of the mass of labourers would benefit society at large—the employer of labour especially would be bene fited. As to the levying of the tax, supposing it to be leiloied not on one class but en all, the question came how the rate should be levied. They had in England a rough and ready way of levying taxes for local purposes, by putting a rate on the occupier of property ; but he held that such a form of taxation was often grossly unfair. If they could get a just income tax—such a tax would be, theoretically, the fund from which an education rate should be levied. But under existing circumstances he was driven to recommend that the tax for education should be derived from what he termed that financial abomination the Consolidated Fund. The Rev. Mr. STEINTHALL, of Manchester, read the next paper, and the discussion was initiated by Mr. William Symonds, of Merthyr Tydvil, who exposed the abuses of the existing schools, and argued that the League might with advantage make its platform still broader and snore comprehensive than was proposed. Mr. APPLEGARTIT, of London, secretary to the Amalga mated Society of Carpenters and Joiners, maintained, from his acquaintance with the working classes, that instead of being unfriendly to compulsory education, they were most desirous that the principle should be carried out to its fullest extent. Mr. THOMAS GRUM, President of the Trades Council of Birmingham, also eulogised the scheme proposed by the League. Sir Crrntsrorunn Raw - Lixsox expressed his cordial adhesion to the programme of the League. He protested against the work being entirely turned over to the Government, fearing that in that case there would be job bing and gross extravagance; and because it withdrew from local self-government one of the greatest sources of an Englishman's honour and pride. He concluded by eulo isinf the common school system of America, and urged that it should be the foundation of the English system. Tte discussion was continued by Sir Wil4i . ain qu . iss, and of tho_Vm, AularmAcili2d, SHARE LIST.

The students of the Salford Working Men's College have beell receiving their annual prizes from Mr. Chadwick, the old and tried friend of their institution, who was assisted by the Mayer cf Salford, and two or three M.P's. Mr. Chadwick; in his address, alluded to the rivalries of the different educa tional systems which prevailed in the district some years years ago, until Mr. Brotherton propounded a plan by which all the rival elements were united. Mr. Chadwick observed that notwithstanding all the progress which had been made, there were still no means of reaching the children of the poorest labourers, but he believed the time was approaching when the different parties would each give up something to the conscience and conviction of others, and a system of national education would be established which would reach the very poorest. Mr. Cowley and Mr. Charley, the two local members, spoke warmly on behalf of the college which, it was stated, had rondo satisfactory progress. During the •evenitg 204 prizes - ' certificates were distributed, including money prizes to the value of Zl4. The number of rewards last year was only 03. SHIPPING DISASTERS: t A telegram from Frederikshaven states that the barque 4Thieftsin, which left Newcastle a few days since for 'Cade xalla, sprang a leak, and subsequently stranded on the Test side of the Scaly. The crew were all saved, but the vesr.el is a tete.l wreck. The Maggie Maxwell (brig) below - ring to Penzance, whence she was bound from Ca:n iff, drifted cn to the rocks east of St. Clement's Island, Pcn=nce, on Sunday night, and it is believed will become a total wreck. The barque Margaret, belonging to Londonderry, and bound from Ballyshannon to North America, stuck on the rocks near Ballyshannon, and is totally wrecked. It is reported that two of her crew were drowned. A letter from No* York states that the steamship Westphalia while Du her voyage from Hamburg to the former place fell in (on the 29th ult.) with the brig A. L. Palmer, which was in a sink ing state, having lost her mast and sails. She was leaking badly, and the crew were in a most deplorable condition,. The brig subsequently foundered. The barque Anna ar.d Allen, which sailed from Glasgow for Valparaiso towards the latter end of August, has been lest on the Rio Grande coast.

Mr. Cotterell applied on Tuesday to the Chief Clerk in Vico-Chancellor James's court, on an adjourned sum mons, for an order in the matter of the Progress Assu rance Company v. Edmunds. The application was to compel the defendant to deliver up certain books and documents including an agreement between the United Ports and the Progress. Mr. Edmunds, as solicitor to the United Ports, held the deeds of certain property which was an nounced for sale in Ireland, belonging to Mr. Mayhew, and in which the Progress Company had an interest. These deeds wero absolutely necessary in order to perfect the winding up. Mr. Edmunds said he stood upon an agree ment between the two companies. Ho should have no objection to allow an inspection, but ho certainly should not deliver up the deeds. The Chief Clerk made no order. UNITED PORTS ASSURANCE COMPANY. An application was made by Mr. Manning for an c7dor appointing Mr. Cape, accountant, provisional liquidator to this Company. Mr. Edmunds said he did not quite see the necessity for this appointment but would not object. The assets of the company were to the extent of something like £90,000, and everybody would be paid- Under these cir cumstances the application was granted. TEE ONE WINE COMPANY. An application was made on Tuesday, in Vice-Chan- James's Chambers, for leave to sell the stock of this company by auction, and to appoint Messrs. Green and Co. the auctioneers. The order was granted. EMBEZZLEMENT OF £13,000 BY A STOCK- BROKER, At the justice room of the Mansion House on Tuesday William McLachlan, 30, residing at No. 1, Rye-terrace, Peckham Rye, was brought up before Alderman Sir Robert Carden, charged with fraudulently converting to his own use Maryland bonds and other securities to the value of £lO,OOO, which ho bad received as broker for safe custody, euoh aoouritica being the property of Sir John Douglas and others. J _ It .ppeared that a. Zenticman,naMed Thomas Dunlop Douglas, died in the month of January lasi, aurTirs executors were Major-General Sir John Douslaq, Major- General Douglas, and Thomas Douglas Cunninghamo Gra hame. The prisoner was employed by them to cell cer tain securities of the value of £140,000, as they might direct. According to their directions ho sold securities to the amount of £lOO,OOO, but he only paid into the National Bank of Scotland to the credit of the trustees £97,000. The balance he appropriated to his own use, to repair some losses he had sustained by speculation on the Stock Exchanc - e. There was no charge, however, with reference to this sum. In addition to that £3,000 he appropriated securities to the amount of £9,075 which he deposited with a person named Cook as collateral security for a specula tion on which ho had entered with Cock, under the style of John Bruce and Co. Suspicions having been created in the mind of the agent of the trust, Mr. Thomas Wright, of Glasgow, he directed the prisoner to refund the whole of the securities. Upon that the prisoner admitted that they wore not in his posses sion and that ho bad only a sum of £1,500 which he thereupon paid to tho credit of the trustees. At a meeting of these gentlemen on Saturday last, they decided to institute these proceedings, and the prisoner had accordingly been apprehended. Evidence was given with reference to some of these facts, and the prisoner, who until recently was a member of the Stock Exchange, was then remanded in custody.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par. and Vie short exchange on London is 251. 151 per Al sterling. On comparing these rates with the English faint price of .C 3 1;s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold at the above price is slightly dearer in Parisi than is Louder. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at so days sight was 1071 per cent. on the Moth inst. At this rate there would be FM on the transmission of gold, from the truitsd StSico.
