C'EN TR L CRIMINAL COURT—(This Day) THE NATIONAL GALLERY. Mr. E. JAMES presented a petition, signed by 400 working men, in favour of opening the National Gallery on Sundays. THE HIGH SHERIFF OF SURREY AND THE OLD COURT. (Before /tr. Justice Williams.) THE MURDERS AT WALWORTH. William Godfrey Youngman, 25, tailor, wa is indicted for the wilful murder of Mary Wells Streeter. There were also three other indictments against him for the wilful murder of his mother and his two brothers. Mr. Clerk prosecuted on the part of the Crown ; and Mr. Best, of the Oxford Circuit, defended the, prisoner. Yesterday the indictments were severallyr read over to him, and he pleaded not guilty distinctly to each of the charges. From the circumstance that the evidence against the accused having already appeared in The Sion, in tho copious reports of the examination of the accused, before Mr. Elliot, the magistrate at the Lambeth Police-court, and Mr. Carter, the coroner for East Surrey, we deem it unne cessary to repeat it. The following brief narrative of the facts will be quite sufficient to refresh the memory of our readers. It will be recollected that a constable on duty (David ' Luck, 133 P), about six o'clock in the morning of the 31st of July, just prior to his leaving his beat, was called to No. 16, Manor place, Walworth-road, by the lan.dlord of the house, Mr. Bevan, who infor•.ned the officer that a child had been murdered. The constable at once sent to the chief station for a superior officer, and Inspector Dann, accompanied by Police-constable Varney, proceeded to the house. On the officers going upstairs to the land ing of the second floor, a sight at once awful, sickening, and harrowing presented itself. The whole of the floor of the landing was saturated with blood, which had scarcely coagulated, and lying in the midst of it were three human bodies, fearfully mutilated. The first was folind to be that of a boy, abc;ut six years of age, lying on his back with his head towards the stairs. The next body was that of a young female in her night-dress ; lying on her right side, and partially resting upon her, was the body of an elderly female. Mr. Inspector Dann was then informed that a youngman, the son of the elderly female, was on that storey, and on stepping over the bodies he saw a man, about 25 years of age, in his night-shirt, standing perfectly cairn and quite indifferent to the horrible scene around him. In spector Dann told him that he must take him into custody, when the young man made the following remarks :—" I was in bed with my brother, when mother came up to the bedside with a knife, and killed my brother who was sleeping with sue; then she made a stab at me, and I wrested the knife from her and killed her in self-defence." The young man was then taken into custody, and Inspector Dann proceeded into the back room on the same landing, and discovered a fourth body, that of a boy about eleven years of age, lying in bed in a pool of blood. The prisoner was then removed to the chief police station. On a search of the rooms being made a large dagger clasp knife was found completely covered with blood. About an eighth of an inch of the point of the dagger was broken off, as also a portion of the guard. A lodger named Beard, a carpenter, was preparing to go to work when he heard a kind of cry and a heavy fall. He went to see what it was, when he observed the body of one of the deceased boys lying on the land ing covered with blood. Being greatly alarmed Beard did not search further, but ran down stairs and informed his landlord, and Mr. Bevan immediately called in the police as stated above. In the opening speech ef Mr. Clark for the prosecution, he said the object of the prisoner in committing the murder appeared to him to be very clear. The prisoner had effected an insurance for £lOO on the life of the deceased Mary Wells Streeter, and in order to obtain that money at her death, it was incumbent on him to show that she had not taken her own life, and that she had not suffered violence from his hands. Having arranged his plans ha next de stroyed his mother in order that he might repre sent that she had murdered Miss Streeter, and to save himself from the consequences of such an act he artfully declared he had done so in self-defence. As a reason for the killing his brothers it was suggestive of one of two things—either they had witnessed his acts, and it was absolutely necessary they should be got rid of to enable him to get the insurance money, or that they were disposed of to convey a false impression of the ferocity of his mother, and to show that he might have shared a simi lar fate had he not used the violence he did in resisting her attack, which terminated in her death. He did not know the grounds of the defence, but if it was intended to persist that the ruotherwas murdered in self-defence, then the whole facts of the case were opposed to such an assertion; while if, on the other hand, it was contended the murders were committed while the prisoner was in a state of insanity, the letters written by him, and his whole conduct, completely disproved any unsoundness of mind on his part. Mr. Clark occupied one hour and a quarter in the delivery of his address, and during the whole of the time the pri soner never for a moment removed his eyes from of the learned gentleman. On the conclusion of the speech the prisoner commenced taking notes of the evidence in the coolest manner imaginable, and continued so 'occupied during the progress of the trial. tbat ptPrat. pt_rraci ectors o F bribed proceed t with I , evidence a o f the nen bere .

Col. FRENCH gave notice that, on going into commit tee of supply to-morrow at the day sitting, he would call the attention of the house to what had occurred between her Majesty's judges and the high sheriff of Guildford, and asked for the production of any correspondence in posses sion of the Government on this subject. STAMP DUTIES (No. 2) BILL. . . This bill was read a third time and Passed. EXCISE DUTIES BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. CUSTOMS (No. 2) BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. DEFENCE OF THE REALM BILL. The house went into committee of supply. Mr. WALPOLE, in moving a vote of £80,850 to com plete the whole vote of £100,850 for the British Museum, said that thiA year there was an alteration in the form in which the estimate was presented, as all the charges connected with the institution were brought under one head. The expenses were reduced to £2,000 in some branches of the expenditure, and though there was an in crease in the item for building, on the whole there was a saving of £147 this year. This saving had been effected, notwithstanding that a collection of pictures the property of Lord Norclifte, and a collection of valuable MSS., be longinrto the Duke of Lauderdale, as well as a mineralo gical collection, had been purchased. The right hon. gen tleman concluded by stating that a valuable collection of medals and coins had been presented to the institution dur ing the past year. Mr. DANBY SEYMOUR asked whether it was pro posed to make any alteration in regard to the hours of ad mission, which at present eicluded professional men and the working classes. Mr. SPOON,ER objected to the vote, on the ground that the institution was of a local and not a national character. Mr. E. JAMES also complained of the hours of admis sion, and said that there had been a large diminution in the number of persons visiting the institution last year as compared with 1857, which he attributed to the inefficient arrangements for attracting visitors. Mr. WALPOLE said that, in 1857, there was an in crease in the average number of visitors to the British Museum in the May of that year in consequence of the library being then opened, which would account for the falling-off last year. It would be found that there wa3 an increase in the number of those who attended the institu • tion since the new arrangements had been carried out, which was a very gratifying fact. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER contended that this institution was national, and not local, as described by the hon. member (Mr. Spooner.) At present those who frequented the reading-room could Fursue their studies with greater luxury than any gentleman could do in his own library, and they included in their number persons from all parts of the country. Mr. AYRTON complained of the manner in which the Museum and National Gallery in this country were man aged as regarded classification and other points. Mr. BUTT drew attention to the salaries of the officers of the British Museum, which were lower than those of any other department of the public service, and were, he contended, most inadequate for the duties they were called on to perform. Ile trusted that the memorial which had been presented by these officials to the Treasury, calling attention to the subject would receive careful consideration. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that these salaries had been revised within the last six years. It was quite true that there was a memorial before the Treasury, but the subject to which it relates had been re ferred to the trustees, as the best qualified to decide the questioi. He deprecated discussions of this character, when comparisons in regard to salaries were instituted be tween the British Museum and different Government departments, which could lead to no benefit, as the particulars connected with the duties required relatively were not generally known, and no fair conclusion could be drawn as to:the justice of the remuneration respec tively given. He would mention that there was no one officer in the British Museum who did not receive more than was promised to him. Some further discussion ensued, in the course of which Sir G. LEWIS stated that the appointments in the in stitution were not made by the executive, but were vested in the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Lord Chancellor, and the Speaker of the House. The vote was agreed to. A vote of £4,300, for civil establishments at Bermuda, was agreed to. POLICE INTELLIGEN CE-( THIS DAI .) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBERY BY A JEWELLER'S CLERK.—William Took, 38, Bark-place, Bayswater, clerk, in the employ of Messrs. Rapley and Welchman, manufacturing jewellers, 72, Dean street, Soho, was charged with stealing four rings, nine seals, and six studs, of the value of 436, the property of his employers. George Rilot, of 3, Nassau-street, said he was clerk to the prosecutors. The prisoner had been employed by the firm, and was discharged on Wednesday last. In conse quence of a duplicate being found the police were spoken to, and he was brought to the house. 'I he two rings, nine seals, and six studs produced are the property of the prose cutors, and of the value of about £36. The prisoner had no right to take them to show to custoluers without entering them in a book. The articles had still the stock marks on them. Gordon, 536 A, apprehended the prisoner at his lodgings at Bayswater. Told him the charge, and at first he denied it, but afterwards said he had low wages attdwasten4;ed to do it, and handed him the duplit:a e of another ring he Yhitn to the prosecutors two rings, parcel containing h pr a i d so p n l e e r d g b e e d ng . igneed O sf n eoar b l sem,inaengrdetysa,ikxaenns studs. On O a n searching him he found £2 18s. lid. on him. The prisoner was remanded. THAMES. A PAINFUL CASE.—Edward Short, aged 50, a care worn looking man, who was described as a pigeon dealer, of No. 22, Slater-street, Bethnal-green, was brought before Mr. Yardley charged with stealing two planks of wood, each about 14 feet in length. The prisoner conducted himself in a strange way in the dock, and on being asked his name he replied, very sul lenly, " Why, Short, to be sure." On being asked his second name he said, " What do You want to know it for ?" and after the question had been repeated several times by Inspector Beare, of the K livision, he said "Edward, if you must know." A policeman, named Jolut Squire, No. 447 K, said that er he met the prisoner in Cottage- row, Mil e E n d- roa d, a t seven carrying two new deal planks o'clockaerss his this shoulders, he obtained them, to Which he replied that he gave 4d. for:one of the pinks and Bd. f or th e o th er . They o n 'a:ng He a s k e d th e pr i soner w h er e were both of the same size and quality, and worth 6s. or 7s. They were scaffold boards, and of a superior quality. Mr. Yardley asked the prisoner if he would ask any questions of the witness, o which he replied—No. What questions have I to ask about it P John Maxwell, employed on the middle level sewer, near Victoria-park, said the p'anks belonged to Mr. Rowe, the contractor, and were missing front the bottom of the Victoria-road at half-past 3 o'clock this morning. They were stolen while he was t , anving. Mr.Yardley — What have You got to sa y t o thi s , prisoner ? The Prisoner (sullenly)_G o t t o say to it ? Mr. Yardley — Yes ; you are c h arged with stea li ng t w o planks of wood. The Prisoner—l have nothing to say about it. The wife of prisoner here got into the witness-box, and said that her husband's mind was affected in consequence of reverses and his having lost a large sum of money. Mr. Yardley—Why do you allow him to go at large ? Mrs. Short said that she studied her family who wished her husband to be at home. He had nearly destroyed ever ything in his dwelling an d was hopelessly insane. H er own life and the lives of her child ren were in danger. Sh e had a large family to provide for, an d h er b us i ness , on ce a large one, now amounted to nothing at all. For the last few nights his conduct had been strange, and he talked about burying his family: Mr. Yardley remanded the prisoner till Monday, and re commended th© wife to • consult the parish officers of Bethnal-green, and obtain her husband's admission to a lunatic asylum, if considered necessary for his safety. Advices from Alexandria announce that the Egyptian Government, which has for some time past been i n pecuniary straits, has just obtained a loan of £BOO,OOO from Paris, to be advanced through the house of Lafitte. The rate of interest is to be 6 per cent., and the fact that the loan is given without any security whatever has strengthened an opinion which arose the moment the nego tiation commenced that the supply is obtained from the Emperor Napoleon, who will thus, t o a cer tain extent, i n crease a power over the Viceroy which had already become considerable, owing to the indiscreet commitments of his Highness to the Suez Canal. SINGULAR JUDICIAL PE NALTIES.—In some parts of Switzerland singular judicial penalties are still in force. A few days ago, one Hug, of Stanz, was convicted by the Tribunal of Unterwald, for having, g - when in a state of intoxication in a public-house, Employed offensive language respecting the Pope, tuld . he vas c on d emne d t o 20 blows with a stick to be adrainTtertd private a fortnight's imprisonment the hospital, a week's retirement to be passed in religious exercises in the monastery of the Capuchins, to occupy a separate place at church for the space of two years, and during that ti me t o a t ten d m orning and evening service and the ?lass of catechism, to be deprived for an indefinite period of his civil rights, and finally to pay all the costs. THE DANGEn s OF FLIRT ATION.—An i nc id en t oc curred on Wednesday . evening, not a hundred m il es f rom Shaw's-brow, wlneh produced h earty amusement to every body but the principal person concerned. This was a young gentleman, who has of late been flirting with two ladies, one of whom having been told of him that his attachment to her was only . a little nonsense, resolved to give him a little nonsense m return. 11p. notion of nonsense was pecu liar, for she too k a stout riding-whi_ p and soundly beat the faithless swain about the head a n d face. He was so stung by the pain that he raised , his fiat w i t h the intention of strik ing his fair assailant. This wt s p erceived by a bystan d er, who to prevent anything of that ki n d , knocked h i m d own. A sym p a thising young lady, seeing the blood flowing from the young man's nose, and learnin g the cause of the distur bance, kindly procured a handful o f fl our and anot h er o f soot, and by the time these were thrown in his face his appearance was, to say the lead, a little singular. Indeed, he looked like a sweep in a .snow-st orm . Having suffi• cienrly triumphed ove r her faithless admirer, the Liverpool Lola Mentes took her departure. in good spirits from the scene of conflict. _Liverpool . o atly .148 t. The only additional feature in the case was that elicited from his father, who stated that his wife's mother had died a lunatic, and that his brother had also been confined in a lunatic asylum for a long time. (We shall give the result of the trial in our late edition.) NEW COURT. (Before the Recorder.) SENTENCE FOR THE LIBEL AGAINST JOBSON. Upon the Recorder taking his seat on the bench this morning, he ordered David Wemyss Jobson, who had bean convicted of libelling Sir James Fergusson, Bart , M.P., and other persons, to be placed at the bar to receive the sentence of the Court. Upon being asked by the officer of the court what he had to say why sentence should not be passed on him, he nod ded his head, meaning no, and handed in a written paper, which was read by the Recorder, who, after perusing it, addressed the prisoner :—You have handed me a certificate that you are not in good health. I will take care that in the sentence I am about to pass upon you the medical officer of the prison I am about to send you to will exa mine you, and nothing shall be done by way of punishment which you are not able to undergo. You have been con victed of three most malicious libels, and also in another case with not only uttering a libel, but doing so with a view of extorting money from a gentleman. It is in that case that I shall visit your offence with a severe punish ment. The sentence of the court is, that you be im prisoned and kept to hard labour for twelve months in the House of Correction of the county in which the offence was committed ; and that at the expiration of that sentence you eater into your own recognisances in the sum of £BO, and find two sureties in the sum of £4O each, to keep the peace for one year towards her Majesty's subjects, and particularly those you have libelled. The prisoner then bowed to the Recorder, and walked from the dock without saying a word. FELONIOUSLY WOUNDING. Pietro Marsini and Tomaso Marsini were indicted for feloniously wounding John Mullins and John Geary, with intent to do them grievous bodily harm. (The facts of this case appeared in The Sun when the prisoner was committed from Guildhall police -court.) The prisoners, through an interpreter, pleaded guilty to the charge of unlawfully wounding. Mr. Cooper, with whom was Mr. Platt, appeared on the part of the prosecution, and Mr. Robinson defended the prisoners. The counsel for the prosecution said as the prisoners had pleaded guilty to the minor part of the offence they should offer no evidence as to the serious part of the charge. It appeared the prisoners were in the street playing with a monkey, when the prosecutor, upon seeing it, commenced teasing it, which exasperated the prisoners and afterwards caused a quarrel to take place between the parties, and ended in the prisoners being taken into custody on the pre sent charge. The prisoners said if the men had not touched the monkey, they should not have committed the offence, and were very sorry for what had taken place. The Recorder, addressing the prisoners through the in terpreter, said that did not justify them in using a knife in this country; and sentenced them to six mouths' hard labour in the Holloway House of Correction.

A sum of £2,721 was voted for the salaries and. expenses of the Inspectors of Lunatic Asylums, as well as a sum of £33,118 for defraying expenses of office of auditors of pub lic account. On the vote of £19,660 for the expenses of the Copyhold Inclosure and Tithe Commission, some discussion took place, but it was ultimately agreed to. A sum of £36,400 for the General Register-office in Eng land and Wales, and of £33,301 for the General Register office, Dublin, weTe agreed to ; as were £5,812 for the office of Registrar of births, deaths, and marriages in Scotland. The vote of £14,652 for the National Debt-office was agreed to after a short discussion. The following votes were also agreed to, viz.: —£2,800 for the Public Works Loan Commission, £1,420 for West Indian Islands Relief Commission, £6,166 for Commissioners in Lunacy in England, £923 to complete the vote of £1,222 for salaries and expenses connected with the office of general superintendent of county roads of South Wales ; £24,000 to make up £32,000 for the secret sen:ce, and £335,280 for printing. and stationery. On the vote of £128,628 for the public postage depart ment, Sir G. BOWYER asked for information as to when the Postmaster-General would be appointed, the duties of which office at present were discharged by the Duke of Argyll, the Lord Ptivy Seal. He drew attention to the fact that for some t;me the port office had been in a state of insur rection, the men being worked for 16 or 17 hours a day with out intermission, and were unable to discharge such onerous duties. He also wished to ask whether the report of the commission on the post office was ready. Sir G. C. LEWIS said he understood that the office was to be filled up immediately. The report alluded to was under the consideration of the Duke of Argyll, who hoped to be able to lay it, with the opinions of the commission, on the tables of both Houses of Parliament. Colonel DUNNE wished to know what was the revenuo and expenditure the Post-office in Ireland, and he would move for returns to that effect. Mr. HENNESSY drew attention to the non-produc tion of two returns relating to the Post-office in Ireland, which were ordered at an early period. Mr. LAING said he would make an inquiry into the subject. Some other votes were agreed to. On the vote of £lOO,OOO for expenses attendant on crimi nal prosecution at assize and quarter sessions, &c., Mr. E. JAMES drew attention to the insufficient ac commodation provided for the judges on circuit, to which he ascribed the collisions that had taken place between a high sheriff and two of her Majesty's judges at Guildford. Sir G. LEWIS said these courts were under the control of the county magistrates. If any memorial were presented to him on the subject it should receive his attention, and he would do all in his power, namely, communicate with the county magistrates in reference to it. With regard to what had occurred at Guildford, so far as his information extended, the judges in question acted with proper discre tion. (Hear, hear.) Colonel FRENCH considered that the judges had ex ceeded their authority, in directing the doors of the court to be closed. He thought the house should receive an in timation that for the future judges should conduct them selves more temperately. Sir G. LEWIS considered that this subject could not be discussed on the present occasion. If, however, any gentle man made a specific motion on this matter he would be able to lay down facts and reasons for what he had already stated. The vote was agreed to, as were the following :-1223,475 for county police in Great Britain, for Crown-office and Queen's Bench ; £10,675 for registrar and marshal of the Court of Admiralty ; and £5,976 for the Insolvent Debtors Court. On the vote of £34,280 for the salaries of the registrars and other officers of the Probate and Divorce Courts, Mr. AYRTON called the attention of the Government to the deficiency in the revenues of this court, and to the compensation of some of the officers of the Ecclesiastical Court, who, he thought, might be employed in other de partments of the public service without receiving remune ration for doing nothing. He contended that, under exist ing laws, the Government were empowered to do so. Sir G. LEWIS said that he was not ashamed of the part which he had taken in the abolition of the old ecclesiastical court, However, the benefits conferred on the public thereby had to be paid for very largely, but it must be remembered that the house voted a larger amount of compensation than the Government proposed. He believed that the appoint ment of the officers of the court was vested in the judge of the court. He was not aware that persons receiving ap pointments were obliged to forego compensation, but he would inquire into the subject. After some discussion the vote was agreed to. On the sum of £145,000 to complete the vote of £200,275 for the county courts, Some discussion ensued, in the course of which, in reply to Mr. WILLIAMS, Mr. LAING stated that the cost of the courts had been £480,000, out of which £218,000 hail been received back as fees. Tho vote was agreed to. The vote of £21,437 for police-courts in the metropolis was agreed to. On the vote of £131,860 for the salaries of the metropo litan police, Sir G. BOWYER complained that the officers em ployed in the police were not subjected to an examination before they were appointed. He alluded to the Road mur der, and condemned the conduct of the police-officer W hither, who, on the mere fact of a young lady's night-gown being missing, took her into custody, and stated that he was in possession of information to show an animus on her part. Notwithstanding which, however, the charge against her was dismissed. Sir G. LEWIS deprecated any discussion on this subject at present. Ile was in possession of information on the facts of the case, but he did not feel justified in communi cating it to the house. After some remarks by Lord FERMOY, Mr. Alderman SALOMONS, and ether hon. members, Sir G. LEWIS said that though the police were not popular when they were first established , it m ust be ad mitted that they had discharged their important duties very creditably. The commissioners, officers, and men were, as a body, most respectable , and contrasted most favourably with the police on the continent, who wereob jects of odium. In reference to the conduc t of the officer who had been sent to Road, though ho did not wish to enter into details, he was in a position to state that there was no ground of complaint against him (Whither). That officer was aware of circumstances which required that he should take the decision of a magistrate with regard to the young lady. lie was sure that no one acquainted with tise, enlarged and improved. It gives a good deal of information respecting the structure of the vocal organs, the right management of the breath in reading or speaking, and various other branches of the subj act. The writer, having himself suffered from relaxation of the throat and exhaustion after exertion of the voice, set to work to consider the cause, and therefore affirms that the present expo sition of his opinions is the result of 15 years' study and experience. Being a clergyman, he is well qualified to discuss the subject, and, indeed, he de votes one of his chapters entirely to clerical sore throat. His plan of treating all affectior.s of the vocal organs is to consider the natural formation, and especially to avoid in any degree forcing or straining them. We recommend this ratio work to the attention of all who have occasion to make much use of the voice in their profession, especially if they find any inconvenience result from long continued effort. The _Rhetoric of Conversation. By G. W. Hervey. Bentley. This is a work of very excellent intention and considerable ability, but somewhat too professedly pious in its tone to be altogether suited for general realers. It divides the subject into many branches, and treats of them very fully. It is edited by the Rev. Stephen Jenner, M.A., author of " Essays on the Errors of the Day," who prefixes a highly eulogistic introduction. The work is ably written and suggestive, though we regret the continual refer ence to sacred and religious things, and are surprised that a man of the author's sense and judgment does not perceive that his rules and regulations, if fully carried out, would infallibly make a great number of hypocrites. The following passage contains some excellent advice : " There are anecdotes and stories which, though not ex ceptionable in themselves, become so when told in certain companies, and within earshot of certain individuals. It is not permissible to tell an anecdote reflecting on a party when members of it are present ; or illustrative of the bad manners, morals, or condition of a country when a native of it is one of the company ; in a word, it is always unsafe, when we are thrown among strangers, to speak to the pre judice of any nation, party, or person. It is a Spanish pro verb, often, though not too often, quoted, that we should not talk oihalters in the house of a man whose father was hanged.' Accordingly, we should not describe a death bed scene to one who is sick or bereaved ; nor talk of bank rupts with those who have failed ; nor of family quarrels with those who are not happy in their domestic connexions. Full many a story that is told in society is pointed with a moral which secretly pierces some heart that has already bled too freely. We know Solomon has said, The words of the wise are as nails and as goads--they have point ; but at the same time the wise are wary, lest their words wound where they were designed only to excite.' " The Art of Precis- Writing. By the Rev. J. Hunter, M.A., Instructor of Candidates for the Military and Civil Service Examinations. Long- man. This a very excellent little work, adapted for the general instruction of youth no less than for the use of civil service candidates, It explains the art of precis. writing, or making digests and abstracts. There are chapters on the reduction of compound sentences, the omission of the less important ideas, the removal of tautology, pleonasm, and superfluous ornament, all of which furnish excellent instruc tion in composition. A good clear style of writing is of great importance to every man of business, and should assuredly be looked upon as one of the first requisites of a sound English education. Any one who has had occasion for a large mixed corres pondence must have been surprised at the confu sion of words and ideas, the entanglement of phrases, the sentences without proper beginning or end, and even the orthographical blunders which are not uncommon among the respectable classes. This little compendium is admirably qualified to remedy such deficiencies, and we trust will soon be in extensive circulation. How I Won the Victoria Cross. By T. Henri' Kavanagh. Ward and Lock. Mr.Xavanagh, of Lucknow celebrity, has thought fit to present the public with an accoard of 11 9 1 . v he won the Victoria Cross, as if the fame of ing gallant conduct at Lucknow was not world wide. That the Government were slow to acknowledge his services and that the Victoria Crosa, the grand object of his ambition, was at first wi thh e ld from him on certain regulation g rounds by mighty red tape authorities, is much to be regretted, but it is nothing new or unnatura l in our _ Merit free and en lightened military authorities. 'such as Mr. Kavanagh's is not to be rewarded IT pecuniary emolument. He has received the much coveted Cross, although given with a bad grace, to) which the reverse of the proverb Qui cite dat, Lis; dat may be be applied, viz. , a grudged gift loses half its value, and his daring service in India is acknowledged by all to have been one of the bolde et, if not the boldest act of bravery and devotion 1)f a campaign in which gallantry was so general.

DUKE presented a large number of petitions from different parts of the kingdom in favour of legalising marriage with a deceased wife's sister. PROCEEDINGS IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS. Mr. MELLOR gave notice that, on the motion for ad journment pn Friday, he would draw the attention of hon. members to the refusal of the House of Lords to entertain a bill relating to savings banks and benefit societies, and also to the power they exercised of limiting and prescribing the time for the consideration of bills sent from that house. THE BRITISH MUSEUM Mr. CONINGHAM entered into some explanations relative to his observations last evening in regard to the British Museum ; and was proceeding to make some gene ral remarks, but he was called to order by the Speaker. UNION OF BENEFICES BILL AND ENDOWED CHURCHES. The committees on both of these bills were postponed. COUNTY CORONERS' BILL. The Lords' amendments to this bill were considered and agreed to, and a committee was appointed to draw up rea sons for the same. SUPPLY. The report of the committee of supply was brought up and agreed to. _ The - house then went into committee of supply. The sum of £19,191 for salaries of the public records was voted. On the vote of £22,969 for defraying the expenses of ad ministering the poor law, Mr. WILLIAMS said he could not understand why 12 inspectors of the poor law were required, or why £B,OOO was required for their travelling expenses, and he moved that the vets be reduced by that amount. Mr. VILLIERS entered into some explanation, and said that the subject would be inquired into during the recess. After a few words from Mr. E. JAMBS the amendment was withdrawn, and the vote was agreed to. On the vote of £6,431 for the household of the Lord Lieu tenant of Ireland, Mr. WILLIAMS S complained of the enormous expense of this item. He considered that Ireland should be more proud of the Government of the Queen than of a sham royalty. If it produced the slightest benefit to Ireland he would not object to it, but he enter gained a different opinion. He could not see of what use were many of the offices in connection with the household of the Lord Lieutenant, which were included in the estimates. Of what use, for instance, was the use of a " Master of Horse," or two " Men at Large ?" (Laughter.) lie thought the present efficient Secretary for Ireland could perform all the duties required in connection with the office. (Laughter.) He was surptived that the Irish representatives did not consider the - nselves dishonoured by having any other Sevetei. ° u nem the Queen. (Hen-.) Mr. VANCE thought that the hon. member's remarks would be more appropriate at the time when the question of the abolition of the office of Lord Lieutenant was taken up. Mr. E. JAMES thought it would be unreasonable to require the Chief Secretary or Ireland to ,- )er form all the duties con nected with the office of the Lord Lieutenancy of Ireland. For instance, the estimate included the salary of the " kettle drummers," and it would bo unfair to require the right hon. gentleman to undertake a series of performances on the "kettle drum." (Laughter.) Nor could they expect him to assume the office of " Master of a Riding school." Again, the estimates included the salaries of the " Singing Men." (Laughter.) They could hardly ask the Chief Secretary for Ireland to enter upon this double duty, the more especially as these officials were threatened with a bill which world make it a misdemeanour for any one to sing a song in Ireland that might arouse the animosity of any one. (Laughter.) lie should like to know what was the " Cork Herald," and what was an "Athlone Pursuivant ?" (Laughter.) Mr. LONGFIELD could not help agreeing in a good deal of what had fallen from the hon. member for Lambeth. At the same time, he could not avoid remarking that there seemed to be a much greater desire to economise with re spect to Ireland than with respect to England. Mr. WILLIAMS moved that the vote be reduced by £1,574 15s. 2d., the amount for the Queen's plates. After some fm ;her d'scussion the amendment was with drawn, and the item was agreed to. The other items were also agreed to, together making a total of L 16,084.. On the estimate of £7,400 for the expenses of Civil Ser vice Office, Ireland, some discussion ensued in regard to the propriety of abolishing the office, or postponing the item of £l,OOO for the salary of the Paymaster-General. Mr. LAING objected, on the grounds of public exigency, to the adoption of I'm latter course. Mr. SCULLY moved that the vote should be reduced to the amornt in question, for if it were merely postpone] it might be voted some time after the Irish members had left town. Some discussion ensued, in the course of which Mr. CARDWELL said he thought it would not be worth while to discuss the subject further, and that it would be better at once to agree to the omi6rion of the item in question. The amendment was agreed to without a division. oases where there was obscurity, as in the present instance, would charge the officer in question with misconduct. The vote was agreed to. Several votes for expenses in connection with the law courts and constabulary, in Scotland and Ireland, were agreed to. The house resumed, and the chairman reported the reso lutions. POSTPONEMENTS. The defence of the Realm Bill and the Ways and Means Committee were postponed. TRAMWAYS (IRELAND) BILL. The Lords' amendments on this bill were considered and disagreed with, and a conference appointed. JEWS ACT AMENDMENT ACT. Mr. T. BUNCOMBE moved the following resolutions : —That the Jews Act Amendment Act of the present ses sion be read. That the resolution of Jan. 24, 1860, be read —" That any person professing the Jewish religion may henceforth, in taking the oath prescribed in an Act passed in the 22d year of her Majesty to entitle him to sit and vote in this house, omit the words 'and I make this declaration upon the true faith of a Christian.' " That the said resolution be a standing order of this house. That the standing order of the 14th day of April, 1859, be read—" That, on the meeting of a new Parliament, no re solution in pursuance of the Act of the twenty-first and twenty-second years of Victoria, chapter forty-nine, which shall have the effect of admitting a member professing the Jewish religion to be sworn at the table, be taken into con sideration before twelve of the clock on the fourth day ap pointed for taking the oaths required by law." That the said standing order be repealed. The resolutions were put seriatim and carried. LOCAL GOVERNMENT ACT. Mr. CLIVE moved the first reading of a bill to amend the Local Government Act. NEW ZEALAND. _ _ _ Mr. C. FORTESC UE movecli;;;t;fiddress for copy of a Jespatch from the Governor of New Zealand to the Duke of Newcastle, dated 22d May, 1860 (No. 46), relative to the management of native affairs (in continuation of Parlia mentary paper, No. 492, of session 1860). The house adjourned at 10 minutes to six. LITERATURE. Memoirs of the Life and Writings of the Right Rev. Richard Hurd, D.D. By the Rev. T. Kilvert, M.A. Bentley. " This volume," says the author, " is designed as an act of tardy justice to the memory of one who deserved better treatment from posterity than he has met with at their hands." No lengthened and. authentic account of one, who was certainly emi nent as a scholar and a writer, has appeared since his death, in 1808 ; and yet some features in his career seem especially to have merited such a tri bute. The rise of a man of humble and obscure parentage to an eminent position ; the works of one who was distinguished for his literary attainments, no less than his ecclesiastical dignity, would have been conspicuous in his memoir, and have served to distinguish them from similar biographies. The truth seems to be, however, that the unpopularity of the court and circle with which he was con nected have induced the public to regard him with some disfavour, and accordingly, as Mr. Kilvert observes, " The prevailing idea which most modern. readers have of the Bishop is derived not from his high qualifications as a divine, a preacher, a critic, and man—in all which points be excelled, but from his two controversial pamphlets against Jortin and Leland, in which his zeal for his friend and patron, Warburton, got the better of his temper and discretion. This erroneous impression. it is hoped the following account of him may avail to rectify." Mr. Kilvert has made copious extracts from Bishop Hurd's correspondence, and from the incidental notices of him met with in Miss Bur ney's Diary and other works of the time. The most valuable part of the work is, however, the selec tions from the Bishop's common-place book. Some of the "Historical Characters" show keenness of perception and soand judgment, while they testify the 'writer's ready familiarity with the history of many lands. The critical and miscellaneous ex tracts, too, contain many fine thoughts and happily worded phrases, though generally speaking the style is subservient to the thought, and the expres sions are not always equal to the meaning that lies beneath them. Brief and disjointed as they neces sarily are, these extracts show the scholar, the theologian, the man of vigorous intellect and studious research. Mr. Kilvert has done good service to his memory in bringing his name so prominently before the public, which, in this day, is so little familiar with his life or his writings.
