FRAUD. —IMITATION COINS. —Frederick George Harri son, a well-dressed young man, was charged with know ingly uttering two medals resembling the current coin of the nation, with intent to defraud, and also with obtaining 10s. from Sarah Hicks, a young woman, by fraud. Mr. Pollard prosecuted for the Mint authorities. The prisoner passed the night with the young woman Hicks, and on leaving put two coins on the table, with the words " To Hanover" on them, and asked her for 10e. change which sho gave him, believing the coins to be sovereigns. She asking him whether they were good, and he said they were, and on her following him ho threatened to split her head. The next day he met Hicks and told her, referring to the giving of the coins, that that was the way he gut his living. She afterwards gave hint into custody. The prisoner asked the prosecutrix whether he was sure he was the man who gave her the coins, and she said she was, and a witness also swore the pros mer was the men silo having lent him a pack of cards to show her the " three card trick," and to tell pictures with. Dickina, 17 CR, said that on taking the prisoner irate custody he said that he had au objection to walking through the streets with a constable, and asked to have a Hansom cab. On searching him he found upon him a similar nu dal to those produced. The prisoner said ho was innocent of obtaining the 10s. front the prosecutrix. Mr. Pollard said that a clause had been recently intro duced into the Currency Act to meet such cases as the present, where medals resembling the current coin of the realm were uttered. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner for trial on both charges. WESTMINSTER. CHARGE OF ROBBING A PARTNICH.—Mr. John Gladivin was re-examined, charged with stealing £270, the moneys of a copartnership entered into between hint and John Edward Turbell. Mr. James Lewis prosecuted ; Mr. Ribton, instructed by Mr. W. D. Smyth of Rochester, defended. On the 4th of December the partnership commenced in the Fulham-road, the business being that of auctioneers and estate agents; they put £250 each into the concern, and the money was banked at the London and Suburban, Fulham-road ; the cheques were to be initialed by the partner who did not draw them, and several were so drawn, tut on February 2 the prisoner drew.one f0r..£270 without initialing, and then absconded, living under an assumed name in the country. Turbell had brought an action, and recovered half the amount from the bank, and there was still a balance of over £lOO in the bank belonging to the partnership. Tho evidence was conflicting about the countersigning, the clerk stating that if it were so it should have been en tered in their books. Prosecutor was cross-examined by Mr. Ribton at great length to show that they had quarrelled and prisoner had wished to determine the partnership and agreement, but nothing was elicited. Prisoner was again remanded, bail in £lOO being re quired. THAMES. A DANGEROUS MISCREANT.—WiIIiam Bass, aged forty years, described as a mendicant, was brought before Mr. Paget, char&ed with being drunk and dis orderl y , and wilfully breaking a gas lamp, value 35., in Whitechapel. The prisoner was ragged, dirty, and had not been washed, shaved, or hot or cold water applied to his head, face, and body since he was last in prison, and a more disgusting object was never seen. He applied at the H division station-house, in Whitechapel, yesterday evening for :an order for the casual ward, and told by Newman, No. 20 11, that he was too early and must come later. The prisoner, who was very drunk, abused the constable, and made a great disturbance. He said he would soon have an order for the casual ward or for a prison. Soon afterwards the constable heard a crash in the street, and upon going out saw a gas lamp and iron post, belonging to the Whits chapel Board of Works, broken up into a hundred pieces, and the prisoner standing by exulting in the mischief he had done. Mr. Paget asked the prisoner if he meant to spend all his time in prison. The prisoner—l want my rights. Mr. Paget—Your rights ? You deserve a sound flog ging ; you are a dissipated, drunken, mischievous fellow. Newman— He has been committed to prison twice in the course of the last six weeks. Mr. Paget—He has been committed to prison 100 times. He is a nuisance to society. The prisoner was committed by me four years and a half ago, when I was just ap pointed. He is a destructive ill-conditioned impostor, a regular mendicant. It is no use to fin• him. He is sen tenced to two months' imprisonment and hard labour. Take him away, and don't let him remain here a moment longer. METROPOLITAN RAILWAY.—On Tuesl.ty last their Highnesses Hassan Pacha, the son of the Viceroy of Egypt, and his cousin, Prince Tussoun Pacha, son of the late Viceroy, Said Pacha, attended by Colonel Gramble, C. 8., and their respective suites, made a minute inspec tion of the Ilnderground Railway from Westminster bridge to Moorgate-street. Mr. Fowler, the engineer of the company, and Mr. Myles Fenton, the general manager, describ d the peculiar works and system of working and signalling of the line. Their High nesses expressed their great admiration: of the works, and their astonishment at the ♦ast numbers of passengers and the facility and safety with which they were con- veyed. In the Divorce Court this morning the Judge Ordinary refused to decree dissolution of marriage in the case of Fitzgerald v. Fitzgerald, but told the petitioner she could have judicial separation ou the ground of adultery.

The pri soners were William Gilbert, a zinc-worker, and Thomas Mannion, a bricklayer, and the magistrates on the bench were Mr. Kynnersky (stipendiary) and Lieutenant-Colonel Ratcliff. It was proved that the prisoner Gilbert, as soon as Murphy left the police-court on the previous day, threw a stone at Murphy's bead with great force. The stone missed Murphy, but struck a man who was close beside him. Gilbert was ccnvicted, and required to pay a fine of ss. and costs, or go to prison for seven days. As regarded Mannion, it vas proved that he went up to Murphy with clenched fists and threatened to strike him. Murphy Limstlf gave evidence against the prisoner, and raid that he had threatened to "do " for Lim. Mannion, it appeared, bad a very bad character, aul had been several times convicted of a similar offence. He was ordered to be sent to prison for six weeks. At the close of the case, Mr. Murphy's solicitor, Mr. Parry, app:ied to the magistrates for protec tion to Mr. Murphy whilst Le returned to his own house; and Superintendent Sheppard was instructed to accom pany him home. The superintendent accordingly, with a number of police constables, escorted him to the Bull Ring, where he got into a cab, in which he reached his chapel, in Wrottesley-street, without molestation. Mr. Murphy has addressed a letter to the Lord Chan llor in reply to recent strictures in the House of Lords. He explains his vocation—that of a public lecturer against Popery, preaching loyalty to the throne, and obedience to the laws. He declares that he has been systematically mis represented by the press. He does not remonstrate with Roman Catholics. " But for the purpose of warning I read to adult Protestant men extracts from Romish text-books, that they may know what sort of teaching their wives and children are exposed to, if they should come under the influence of the priesthood ; and for the same good purpose my wife reads to English Protestant women the like examples. Irish Roman Catholics I do net invite, leo not address them, I do not desire that they should come W my lectures." In such a work he considers he has a special claim for protection from a "Liberal Government." He points out how differently violent politicians, such as Finlen and Bradlaugh, have been treated. He is not the only sufferer in this cause. " Mr. Flynn, Mr. Hous ton, and others—all more loyal subjects than Drs. Man ning, Ullathorne, or Cullen—lave been in the same way put down by provincial magistrates at the instigation of priests. One, Mr. Mackey, is now in prison." The letter was accompanied by various documentary proofs. Its receipt by the Lord Chancellor has been acknowledged. 711 E OUTRAGES AT CORK. The reported firing into the window of the Cork Con stitution office turns out to have been a hoax. The Con stitution of Wednesday, referring to the telegram, states ;hat the bullet came from a catapult or air-gun over the roofs of the houses, and that no personal injury was intended, although one of the printers had a fortunate escape. The same journal reports that on Monday evening a bullet was fired into the house of Mr. Kingston, Princes-street, Cork, in a similar M ay, and, excepting the ,reaking of the glass, did no damage. But the other outrage in Cork is a most serious affair. following particulars, in addition to those transmitted by telegraph, are fin nished by a correspondent of the Dublin Exprus:—" The residence of Mr. Pope Gray is situate about two miles from Cork, in a picturesque spot studded by thick clumps of trees, between Douglas lud Blackrock. About nine &deck on Tuesday evening Mrs. Gray was walking in the grounds, the weather being fine, when she observed four men approach the house, and believing that they came with no friendly intention, she hurried into the house and raised an alarm. Mr. Gray, who had been ill for the last three months, was seated in an armchair, ;.n the parlour, when she rushed in, crying out that the rtnians were coming, and, banding him a revolver, placed herself behind his chair. Immediately one of the party, who is described as a w ell-built, active, and determined looking man, came in. Confronting Mr. Gray, he raised his hand and displayed, as Mr. Gray believes, the barrel of a revolver, at the same time uttering some words which that gentleman did not hear. Observing his threatening motion, Mr. Gray kept his eye steadily fixed on him, and, tuking deliberate aim at him, fired. One of the servants and a lady who was present state that the stranger also fired, as they beard two shots together. When the smoke had cleared away, Mr. Gray was surprised to find his visitor still standing before him unhurt. The bullet, it is believed, grazed his head, as it was found on Thursday morning imbedded in the plaster of the wall behind where he stood. Mr. Gray instantly fired a second shot, and this time with evident effect, for the man put his hand to his head and rushed out of the house. While this scene was going on in the parlour two of the party held the servants in check, and, presenting revolvers at the head of one named Sweeny and his wife, demanded arms. The fourth man acted as sentinel at the door. When they found that their comrade had been wounded in his unsue cessiul attcmpt,they left him to his fate and rapidlyretreated. Mr. G ray made his way to the doorof the room and called upon them to come on, but they were soon out of reach. The wounded man was unable to follow, and laying himself down at the hall door, he begged to be admitted, as he had received a wound. It was thought that this appeal was a mere stratagem, and although the inmates of the house were now all armed, they hesitated to let him in until Mr. W. Conolly, of Claver-hill, who bad been alarmed by the shots and came round with a pistol to render assistance, found the man lying on the ground, and told Mr. Gray. lie was then admitted and treated with kindness. The Rev. Mr. O'Connell, a priest, and Dr. O'Flynn, a medical gentleman, having been sent for, arrived soon afterwards. The wounded man expressed great contrition, and said that his companions bad taken his revolver, but he refused to give the slightest information. The police arrived at an mly hour yester- day morning, and examined the premises. They were unable to find any trace of the ball supposed to have been fired by the man, and Mr. Gray cannot say whether be fired at all ; but others who were in the mom state that he did fire. He was identified as a keeper named Andrew Campbell, connected with Dr. Osborne's Lunatic Asylum, Blackrock. He has been for a long time suspected by the police. Three other men in Dr. Osborne's employment were arresied, but they were not identified as belonging to the party, and were imme diately discharged. Mr. Gray is a gentleman who has kept clear of politics, never having given a vote for any candidate, and he is therefore surprised that his house should have been singled out for a Fenian visit. The death of Campbell has already been noticed. Some bullets were found in his possession, and some ammunition in his house." THE SCOTCH HERRING FISHERY. —A telegram from Wick states that the Lewis herring fishing continues a failure, and is not half the ordinary catch. One fishing boat has been run down by a fishing smack and aban doned ; crew saved. A boat was swamped and a fisherman from Morayshire drowned. Weather dreadfully cold. FATAL BOILER EXPLOSION . A fatal boiler explosion has taken place at Sherburn House Pit, about three miles from the city of Durham. It appears three boilers are used at the colliery, and at the time above mentioned, as the enginemen were sitting in the engine -house, No. 1 boiler, the one nearest the engine -house, suddenly exploded. A number of workmen at once rushed to the spot, when it was found that the engine-house had been knocked into aheap of ruins, and the three unfortunate men buried in the dibris. Ohe-half of the boiler was found about 200 yards to the right and the other about 100 yards to the left of the colliery. The • colliery is the property of the l e ft of Durham. SNOW is JUNE. —The most extraordinary weather at present prevails in the county of Westmoreland, and has done now for many months. On Wednesday morning the hills to the north were entirely covered with snow, and the drifts were three or four feet in depth. Nor was this strange and unseasonable phenomenon confined to the higher range of moun tains ; on the contrary, the white wintry mantle had fallen as far down the valley as Stavely, a village between Kendal and Windermere, and occupying a most sheltered position. The scene was most extraordi nary, and, so far as the memory of the oldest inhabitant went, quite without precedent in the whole range of atmospheric phenomena. A sharp, cold wind prevailed from the north, and the general appearance of the sky and clouds was more suggestive of February than the middle of June. Indeed, the 'wind has been, with but few ex ceptions, northerly for the last six months. Vegetation of all kinds is very backward. MR. FRITH'S "DERBY DI - Y."— The explanation of the exhibition of Mr. Frith's "Derby Day" at Vienna is now supplied by the z.rtist himself. He says: " When Mr. Gambart, the publisher, had possession of "The Derby Day,'' he had a copy made from it, by a French artist, for the avowed purpose of assisting in the en graving. This copy—never touched by me—he says (I now quote from a letter just received from him from Switzerland) ' has been consigned for sale to a printseller in Vienna.

IMPERIAL .PAItLI A MEN HOUSE. OF LORDS—Tilts EVENING The LORD CitANcELLurt took his he.lt ou the woolsack at five o'clock. The attendance of " s trargers" was by no moans as great as on the two former evenings, but the galleries on either side of the house were fully occupied by ladies. There seems to be some uncertainty as to the division taking place to-night owing to the great number cf peers who have expressed their desire of speaking on the subject of the Irish Church. Monday night is Low generally spoken of as the time fixed for the determina tion of the great questiou whether the or shall nut be real a second time. THE IRISH CHURCH RILL. A great many petitions having been presented against the bill, the adjourned debate was resumed by The Bishop of LICHFIELD, who, however, having made a few remarks, gave way in favour of Earl RUSE ELL, who said ho had on other occasions suggested that various courses might be taken with regard to the position of the Irish Church until public opinion should be ripe for the discussion of the matter. He re joiced, however, that the time had arrived, and that the task had been taken up by a statesman of qninent ability, and he must say that all the arguments he had heard in opposition to the bill they were now asked to read a second time were remarkable only fur their weakness. He thonght it was altogether giving up the argument in passing by the position of the Church as regarded the feelings, of the great majority of the Irish people. Mr. Grattan had in one of his great speeches said that an Established Church ought to be the religion of the majority of tie people, and although he did not advocate the disestablishment of the Church as it then existed in Ireland, yet he thought it but fair that a large endowment should be made to the Catho lies, and in that way he would secure equality. Ho felt that such a proposition would not meet with general-approval now, and that being so the next thing it became their duty to do was to settle a matter which had been so long a sub ject of bitterness and heartburning in the most just and equitable way possible. The bill now under consideration he thought one that was well calculated to effect the object in view, notwithstanding all that volunteer firing which had taken place, irrespective of the word of command being given by the commanding officer. (Laughter.) That the Roman Catholic Church should be largely en dowed was the desire of Mr. Pitt ; and he had before him a portion of the correspondence, iu which Lord Castlereagh took part, in which such a step was almost promised at the tune of the passing of the Act of Union; and the re sult of such a feeling in favour of the Catholics the Irish Government left nothing undone which could induCe the Roman Catholics to assent to the Act of Union. Had Mr. Pitt lived he thought the promise made at the passing of the Union would have been carried out. It had been said, although he thought now rather bate in the day, that concurrent endowment would have been better rather than to bring about equa:ity by the d!s:ndowlnent of the Church in Ireland, but he had ntany years ago given Lis support to every measure proposed for the improvem , nt of the c. edition of his Catholic follow-s ul‘j c:s, and he should not now falter at giving his undeciLd supprt to that in-a,ure, which was but a wise au I comprehensive a loptiou of the p: in ciples of Mr. P;tt., Mr. Canning, a. d Sir 11. Peel. . SPEARING. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—Tms Diy. Th.: SPEAKER took the chair at 2 o'clock. THE BANKRUPTCY BILL. The house then again wont hitt) committee on this bill, to wltich there yet remains innumerable amendments to be moval. The principal topic of discussion to-day was the subject of the position of the officials of the Bankruptcy Court, in the event of the passing of the bill, with respect to their retiring salaries. Au amendment was moved to test the feeling of the house on this :mint, it, in effect, declaring that all the officials should retire upon their full salaries. The Government opposed the proposition being accepted as a general rule, but it was intimated that there might, and possibly would, be cases in which the retirement ould be on full salary. The course suggested was that the subject should be postponed until Tuesday next, dur ing which time the matter could be fully considered and provided for, the,Governmout not feeling disposed to accept the proposition, even after words providing for the retir ing officers accepting " other duties," if found necessary. The discussion was carried on up to the hour at which the sitting was suspended. LONDON GAZETTE—This Evening.
