POLICE lIV TELLIG EN CE.-7 his Day. THAMES. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF HEMP.— Martin Gilbert, master carman, aged 50 years, of Chamber-street, Whitechapel, and Rueben JaCkson, porter, 19, of No 7, Arundel-terrace, were brought before Mr. Paget charged with stealing about 10 cwt. of hemp, the property of Messrs. John and Henry Hutchinson, hemp merchants, of No. 48, Mark lane, and who have warehouses in Tenter-street, White chapel. It appeared from the evidence cf Mr. Henry Hutchinson that there . were deficiencies of hemp 1 cwt. at a time, and th tt the prosecutor had emplqed men to watch Jackson, their porter, and they observed matters of suspicion in his conduct. On Satur day the prosecutors accused Jackson of robbing them, which he denied. He was informed that The prosecutors had evidence of selling two small quantities of hemp on Thursday. He first denied having done so, but after be ing closely pressed on the suject almitted he had sold hemp the property of his employers. lie was then taken to the prosecutors' office in Mark-lane, and It was inti mated to him that if he told the truth his employers would not be hard upon him, but otherwise he would be given in charge. He then said, " 1 have de livered to Thomas Walker eight or nine cwt, of hunk . ; Gilbert received the money and divided it with me." Gil bert was sent for, and he said ho had sold hemp received from Jackson to a man named Davis, and only part of it had been paid for. Gilbert afterwards said the whole of it had been paid for. Some other admissions affecting Gilbert were made by him. Other evidence affecting both prisouers was given, and Mr. Paget decided on remanding both. On the application of Gilbert, he said he would accept of bail for the prisoner himself in £lOO and two sureties of £5O each. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A SCENE IN A RAILWAY CARMAGE.—Clitalos Lax ton, a painter, in Devonshire-street, Lisson-grove, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with attempting to steal some money from the person of James Jones, a labouring man, and also with assaulting him while iu a carriage on the Metropoli tan Railway. The prosecutor, who rerides at Harefield, near Ux bridge, said that on Saturday evening he was in a carriage on the Metropolitan Railway on his way home, when the prisoner and some companions sat by his side and kept pushing against him, and shortly afterwards he found the prisoner's hand in his pocket. He asked the pri soner what he was up to, and told him that if he played any of his games on him he would pitch him out of the carriage window. The prisoner then drew his hand out of his pocket, leav ing his purse containing 19s. in silver hanging out of his pocket, and he then struck him several times. Soule of the prisoners companions also struck him, and then his (prosecutor's) companions not liking to see three on ono one struck them, and there was a general fight. Witnesses were called by the prisoner, who gave him an excellent character, one of them stating that he had selected him to do work where great trust was required. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner ou bail. MARKETS-7 MS DAY. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. May B.—Sales probably 8,000 bales. Th• market quiet ; unchanged. METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

THE EXCELSIOR AMATEUR MUSICAL SOCIETY on nib) , gave a very attractive entertainment at the George Hotel, Aldermantury, to which they iuvitot their lady friends. A very excellent programme was selected, and the songs that pleased the audience most were thoeo of Mr. 11. Gillard, Balfo's "Sleeping Queen," and Hatton's " Excelsior." Mr. Cantle sung his song, " Four jolly smiths" with excellent effect, and Mr. Johnson gave Weiss' song, "'l'l,e Village B:acksmith," with taste and judgment. The comic element was well represented by Mr. Woodward. Mr. Brown recited 'louoysen's " Charge of the Light Brigade" with gill it elocutionary skill, and Mr. Hicks followed with a recitation, " The Half Hundred," which he did exceedingly well. The eincert was the last one of the season, and the members hive every reason to be pleased with the manner in which the entertainment passed off. The society is under deep obligations to their hon. secretary, Mr. Hatch, far it is almost entirely to his admirable mode of conducting the business that it has attained its present excellence.

THE JVILLOUGHBY-D'ALTLYRAC SCANDAL. Did i of everyone, asks the Pall Mall Gazette, suppoEc 11.a' we bad heard the last of that gikat scaneal which wa, associated with the name of Lord Willoughby d'En - sby some little time ago? The details of the cas., were very painful, and the noble defendant did - not escape from thy• public gaze 'before he hail received a sharp castigntioi from all the orgacs of pabiic opinion. Mr. Verne: Harcourt was•called in to make an award, and 11 4 :allotted to the injured lady £5,000 down and £l,OOO a year for rent, and £lOO a mouth. Yut this lady is tow dragged into the Bankruptcy Court through a tot:3 failure of her income. " She hadonly received £5OO under the award." "Eho had a house in London, and it is now occupied by Lord 'Nil , . louhby." Is this new disclosure calculated to improve Lord• Willoughby's position in the eyes of the world ? He may eat° very little about his own reputation, but it is gene rally 'supposed that a man is bound to act with common humanity towards a woman whom he has acknowledged as Lis wife. EXHIBITION OF THE ROYAL ACADEMY, BURLINGTON HOUSE. The interest always felt in the first glimpse of the annual exhibition of the Royal Academy has this year been heightened by its transfer from Trafalgar-square to Piccadilly. 'the Academy and its visitors have alike gained by the removal. The new building is worthy of its object, and the exchange from the overcrowded and insufficient department of the old National Gallery to the spacious and commodious suite of rooms at Burlington Home is a very welcome one. As yet the artists have not prefited so much as they ought to have done by the removal, since the additional space Las not been turned to full account by the council, and the number of of rejections has been large. It is hoped that another year the difficulties incidental to a change of quarters will be lessened, and the baste and confusion which have recc.ssarily somewhat interfered with the deliberations of the council will be avoided. The rooms are num bered 1 to 10, and the visitor can make the circuit uninterruptedly—a manifest advantage. Enter ing Room 1, the " Studies of Lions " (30-32), are readily recognised as from the pencil of our great animal painter. Sir Edwin's " Swannery Invaded by Sea Eagles" (120), is, however, his chef d'oeuvre. The contrast between the snowy plumage of the swans, fighting vainly in defence of their cygnets, and the russet brown of the invading eagles, heightens the effect. The quiet loneliness of the swannery, with its bulrushes and water-lilies; - forms a strange background for the furious struggle. " The Return of the Dove " (45), by G. F. Watts, is another picture which can scarcely be over looked. As its title implies, it represents the Deluge, not in the aspect usually chosen by the painter, but during the last days of the dread visitation. Nothing is to be seen but the waste of swelling waters, over which the solitary dove is winging her way with the olive branch. Mr. Watts, who has hitherto been known as a figure-painter, in this picture shews his proficiency in another branch of his art. Marcus Stone has chosen his chief subject from the rich fields of English history, and it is one which gives full scope for his powers. The scene is the Chapel Royal at Whitehall, in 1553, when the Princess Elizabeth was obliged to attend mass by the wish of Queen Mary. The young Princess is shoving her ebaractel istic prudence and force of character by Ler reserved and impassive demcanour,but the foreign ambassadors watch her narrowly, in the hope that she will commit herself by some act of indiscretion. Mr. and Mrs. Ward also belong to the historical sclmol. Mr. Ward has four pictures, the largest, if not the most effective, being a figure of Luther studying the Bible in his monastic days. The introduction of Grinling Gibb, ns, the great English wood carver, to Catherine of Braganza, at the Court of Charles 11., is, however, Mr. Ward's chief success. The Queen, who is at first struck with the beauty of the artist's work, is disenchanted by the foolish gossip of her attendants, while Evelyn looks on in disgust. Mr. Ward has also a water-colour drawing from his fresco in the House of Lords—" Monk Declaring for a Free Par liament" Mrs. Ward has a " Scene from the Child hood of the Old Pretender," which will fully maintain the lady's reputation. Mr. C. W. Cope has a large painting, "The Price of Victory," exhibiting the grief of the Iron Duke on hearing the list of casualties at Water loo ; but the picture, though carefully painted, fails to impress the spectator. Mr. Millais's "Nina" shews a young girl dresssd in white, apparently seated for her portrait. Mr. Prinsep's " Hetty " will be readily recognised by all readers of "Adam Bede" as the charming dairy. maid of the novel. More powerful is Mr. T. nod's' " Homeless," a lonely figure, whose prototype may only too readily be recognised in any of our great towns, "Only Herself," by the sarne painter, is a fine study. Arab life supplies two subjects. "The Arab Story-Teller," by Mr. Hodgson, gives an incident of desert life ; and " Parce alteri," an Arab ploughing, is a careful study. Mr. Storey's " Old Soldier" is a pleasant picture, founded on a passage of Sterne, and the contrast between the importunate beggar and the smiling maiden is vividly drawn. Mr. Calderon has given us two pictures in very different styles. The subject of the one, " Sighing his soul into his lady's face," may be gathered from its title. The other is drawn from the stormiest days of French history, and shews Cathe rine of Lorraine inciting Jacques Clement to the murder of Henry 111. The sombre face of the monk and the impassioned hatred of the duchess are depicted with a vigorous hand. Some of the landscapes are very beautiful. Mr. M`Whirter, an Edinburgh painter, has achieved a com plete success in hisacene from the Isle of Skye, the locality from which Mr. A. Hunt chose his subject for the Old Water Colour Exhibition. Another Highland landscape, " Autumnal Showers," by Mr. Peter Graham, deserves notice; while Mr. Poole inh is "Lorenzo and Jessica" gives us one of those moonlight scenes in which ho is so singularly successful. Mr. Frith, in his "Hope and Fear " (82), exhibits his characteristic care and patience ; and Mr. Armitage's "Hero Lighting the Beacon" 'thews some striking torohlight effects. Miss Escombe's "Drapery" appears to have given more satisfaction to herself than to the spectator ; for, by an ingenious arrange. raent, the ungraceful figure is twice repeated by the mirror .and the portrait. It is reported (says the Globe) that Lord Eliot, ton of the Earl of St. German's, and who represented Devonport in the Liberal interest from 1866 to 1868, will come forward as a candidate to represent LiEkeard, in the roam of Sir A. W. Buller, deceased. The Bombay Gazette says that the Spiteful left Ceylon on the 18th of March with orders to take possession of the Nicobar Islands in the name of the Queen. The islands aro situated between the Andamans and Sumatra, and are the abode of a half savage people. The reasons fox this annexation are not given. Strong opposition is being matifested to the Govern ment bill for increasing the maximum deposits in the Post. olilce savings banks to £3OO. A meeting, presided over by Mr. T. Baring, at which deputations were present from Manchester, Leeds, Bolton, Shefdeld, Glasgow, Warringhn, and other places, ICAS held in London yesterday on this sub ject. A deputation therefrom, introduced by Mr. Rib- : pert, M.P., end Mr. Mundella, M.P., veited on Lori Hartingtcn and Mr. Lowe, and urged that all classes of savings banks be placed on ono toting as to 4 as limit of deposits, and that if any altJrations were made tho annual SIM should n exceed VA, and the tott.l sum 00, cai,ital, or .C3OO with inter( st. A second deputation, repro sealing joint-stock bankers. opposed the entire prizcipl )of th.) bill, and said it woule. withdraw their deposits and give Government toe great privilor—s. Mr. Edmund PtAter, M.P., pointed out the danger to commerce if Govermnont had fifty or sixty millions flowing capital instead of ten or eleven as at present. .7.cad llartington and Mr. Lowe promised to consider the ratter. it is not expected that they will yield, A Married Woman's La w has recently been passed by the Illinois Legislature. It provides that a mai'riel woman shall bo entitled to receive, use, and possess her own earnings, and sue for the same in her own name, free• from the interference of .'der husband or his creditors. The• Act does not give to Vas wife any right to compensation, for any labour perfortr.ed by her minor children or by her husband.

Mr. Topham has provided a goodly number of races this week at Chester, the most important of which being The Cup. The Chesterfield Stakes will be the feature of the opening day, for which I think Giantess or Argyll will be returned the winner, and the Palatine Stakes should be secured by Master Tom or Whnus. It )hcs.ierre is a cer tainty for the IVelter Cup, and wit! - 1 hfs 10Ib. allowance the .11,1,grave Stakes. Tae field for the Chezter Cup. will bJliwited i and selected from the following : • Sgt! st lb • Age st lb Kt. of the Garter... o 9 1 Our Mary Ann ... 4 6 10 Mandrake ... 5 8 11 Curio ... 4 6 7 Romping Girl ... 58 '4 Red Cap ... ... a 6 2 Da:by ... a 7 11 St. Mungo ... 3 6 0 Paul Jones 4 7 9 George Osbaldestou 3 6 0 King's Cress ... 5 7 ... 5 5 9 Fair Wind... ... 5 7 2 The .Algeun ... 3 5 9 Lionel ... 4 6 , Vansittart... ... 3 5 9 Knight of the Garter is reported lame, which was the reason of the hosli:ity displayed agaidst him on Saturday. A reaction has since taken place in his favour, but I sit )Ull nut rocom-neud him to be invested on till his number goes up. Romping Girl is a good stayer, and will like the course, but I am afraid she will find the company too good for her. The same remark applies to Curio, who is a very uncertain horse. Paul Jones, who I selected when the weights came out, is now an equal favourite with Agean, and a think he will emulate. the Dalby performance by winning the race two years in succession. Egean has had a wonderful trial, but I like public per formers before private ones. St. Mungo will re present Mr. Alt rry, and from his running last year he ought to beat all the three-ye kr-olds. Vat.sittart and Consternation will help to swell the field, and that is all I can s.ty about thew. The winner, as I have said all along, will be PAUL JONES. His immediate followers being 2EGEAN and Sr. Mt:Nao. If they are upset it will be by Fairwind, who was backed by a knowing division last Satur day. The Two-yr-old Plate will be won by Madame Eglantine, and the Stewards' Cup by Vespasian. A FRESH. MAN. RACING IXTU RES. Chester •4, 5, 6,7 .

Mr. DAWSON said, at the request of the Government, he would postFone his question relat,vo to the Mayor o, Cork until to-morrow. a••••.. BATHING IN THE PARKS. Mr. L AY ARV, in reply to Mr Stapleton, said he had done la's best to see wi.at could be done in the matter, but ho idund the thing would be impossible. St. James's Park vas one of a very ihnited extent, and he did not think it would be right to allow bathing is the ornamental water there. (hear, hear.) MONEY ORDERS. The Marquis of HARTINGTON, in reply to Mr. Barnes. said he was quite aware how important it would 'tee to the poorer classes to reduce the price of the com mission charged for money orders fur small amounts. If tbo amount was teducod the service would have to be carried on at a loss, w hich he did not thin k would be for the public advent .ge. He would, however, look into the subject to see if anything could be done in the matter. THE LAW COURTS.

WEST INDIA 3IAIG. The Marquis of I[AI-LTINGTON st.id it would not be possible to fix positively the day of departure of the West India Mail. The general convenience - was at present studied as far as it was possibe. TEIE REVENUES OF INDIA. Mr. J. DUFF, in answer to Sir S. Northoote, said tivi Governor-tioneral was entirely under the control of the Secretary of St Lte in Council with regard to the expend titre of the revenues of India. In all practical pirp..ss thr control of the IloiniA Governruent was conip'ex.

THE OTAMIELL TRIAL. Mr. MONSELL,. in reply t o M r . N ew d 3ga t e, sa id no direction was given by the Home Governm.ant to the Go vernment in the colony to suppress any of the evidence taken at the trial of O'Farrell ; and with reveet to the re port and evidence he did not think it would be advisable to put the country to the expense of printing the volumi nous matter. Mr. MAGUIRE said he hoped it would be borne in mind that the act of O'Farrell was an isolated one, and that he was quite unconnected with any body of persons, that in fact his er:me was the result of delirium tremens, or in fact he might say of a lunatic. It was just that this fact should be clearly made known. (lle.►r, hear.) TIM RIOTS IN DERRY. Mr. C. FOIITESCUE said the Government %sere liiviug this matter their most serious consideration. He could not that evening scale any of their proceedings, as the report of the inquest had not yet been received. THE WHITSUNTIDE HOLIDAYS. Mr. GLADSTONE, in roily to Col. 'French, gala the adjournment of the Loose fur the holidays would in a great ineaiure -depPnd upon the progress of the committo on the Church Bill ; and, judg ing from what had alien ly been dune, he thought it might be possible .that the committee would close with the week. Ho should, if that were so, take the report of it on the Thursday fo:lowinw, and then move that the house at its rising should adjourned until the Monday week. THE IRISH CHURCH. The house then went into committee on the Lill, Clause 30, which made enactments with respect to mixed endowments, was ngrecd to ; as was clause 31, which defined the limitation of the right to purchase fee simple, in consideration of perpetual rent. Clause 32 was next proposed, it dealt with the sale of the rent charge to the owners of land, and enacted that the commissioners might sell any rent charge in lieu of tithes vested in them under the act to the owners of land, charged herewith in consideration of a sum equal to twenty-two and a LIU times the amount of such rent charge. Mr. FAWCETT moved that the clause be struck out. (LEFT SITTING.) /TA ha1x, , , 7 4, va.apv,44l.v. cirri" dv %AMIN t LIEU M.IJESTY. • aiBORNE, May 1.

Noel Hoare was yesterday ap pointed to be flag lieutenant to Vice Afiniiral Sir Alexanda Milne, on the Mediterranean station. 7*HE MAG.4ZISE.S. The chief attraction iu the current number of Blackrmti is a poem by George Eliot, " How Lisa Loved the King." The original of the story is found "in the bright pages of Boccaccio,'" and is quite in unison with the romance indigenous to Southern lands. George Eliot has presented it to English readers with characteristic skill, ulthough the verses are occasionally unequal. It is doubtful if she will ever reach the same emineuca as a poet which she has attained as a novelist; but scattered through the poem there are some beautiful passages. Thus Lisa dreams how heavenly it would be " To love some hero noble, beaute6us, great, Who would live stories worthy to narrate." She finds this ideal hero in the king " Whom her soul worshipped, as far seraphim Worship the distant, glory." In other parts the expression does not always render justice to the thoughts, and the rhymes are not always perfect, as, for instance, in " palm" and "harm," and • her" and " were." Still the poem as a whole is far above the average of magazine compositions. The second part of " Sir John Lawrence" treats of an eventful period—the storm of 1857, and this instalment is interesting and exciting. It is truly said that the verdict of his countrymen has been confirmed by the experience of the years which have succeeded the mutiny, and Sir John Lawrence of the Punjab "must ever stand out as one of the foremost characters of Anglo- Indian history." The writer on " Convent Life" considers that it is singular the recent case should have come before the public at time when "never since the Reformation has conventual life been so interesting to the body of English women, and when the cloister has assumed a reality as a possible sphere and refuge in contrast with that sentimental dreamland which it seemed to the youthful readers of Mrs. Ratcliffe and her successors.' A new story is commenced, called, "A Year and a Day." It promises to be interesting, but there are too many changes of scene, and too many characters introduced in this the first part of the narrative. The style is good, and the descriptions throughout the varied scenes are most ex cellent. Arthur Corbet is sketched in a life-like manner, and his virtuous indignation when he finds that his future career has been decided without his own opinion being taken is very natural, and furnishes the most amusing passage in the story. " The Progress of the Revolution " is the political article, and it takes the most extr e m e v i ew of the Irish Church question. The chief cause of corn plaint is the apathy of the nation, and the writer endea vours to rouse it by the declaration that the battle of the Constitution is at this moment going on. The concluding advice that is here given is alike mischievous and impolitic. The bishops are exhorted to organise in every diocese such assemblies as have met to deliver their minds in Ireland. " Would the Govern ment," it is asked, " be able to stand against such a gathering? " No, it would shiver their majority in a day." The wisest of the Conservatives well know the contrary to be the case, and recognise the dangerous ten dtncy of such extreme views. Equally extravagant is the assertion that if the bill pass in its integrity "England will discover, when it is too late, that she has ceased to be a great constitutional monarchy." Most readers would rather endorse the opinion expressed by the old politician in " Coninsgby," when he said that the " British Consti tution was tolerably safe at all times." The readers of the Churchman's; Shilling Magazine will not lack subjects of interest. May itself, the month in which, according to Leigh Hunt, " pleasure is a duty," is among them. It has always been a favourite theme for poets and essayists; and the earlier writers in prose and verse, so far from exhausting the subject, seem only to have supplied the text for their successors. So wide and varied is the list of the May chroniclers that a pleasant and entertaining collection of songs, anecdotes, and quo tations may readily be gathered from amongst them. Such a task Mr. Watson Dalby has undertaken in his paper on " May and its Memories," which ranges from Chaucer to John Clare, from the " Maypole " of Herrick to the shrubs in St. James's Park. May has not been without its special catastrophes. Spencer Perceval was shot in the House of Commons on the 11th of May ; and in 1517 fell the " Evil May day," as it was called, when the national jealousy of foreign workmen broke out, and in the subsequent riot many persons were murdered. This tragic affair resulted in the execution of fifteen apprentices, for the London apprentices were always foremost in the fray in those days. Several hundreds of them were sent to the Tower on this occasion, but were released on the interces sion of Queen Catherine. "My Clerical Substitute "is a true story, giving a very efficient warning to clergymen as to the clerical deputies they employ, The h ero of the an he present misadventure obtained an assistant through agency which promised strict inquiries as to _character, r _ . &c.

In reply to those who think legislative action unnecessary on this question, the writer says that the case is analagous to that of sani tary legislation. We cannot make persons healthy by Acts of Parliament, but we may remove the causes of disease by their aid. Iu the same way we cannot legislate the drunkard into a sober man, hut we can prevent the s ober man from becoming a drunkard. " Surely we who are our brother's keeper ought to recognise in the power I a duty—in the possibility a solemn and bounden obliot• I tion."
