POLICE INTELLIGEIVCE.-7his Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A GENTLEMAN CHARGED WITH ASSAULT.—Mr. Julius Allington, described as a gentleman, of No. 23, Suffolk street, Pall-mall, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with violently assaulting Mr. Frederick Whitehouse, assistant treasurer at the Prince of Wales's Theatre, Tottenham- street. Mr. Frederick Whitehouse (who bad a very bad black and cut eye) said that on the previous evening, seeing the prisoner pulling about some artificial flowers in a box at the theatre, ho requested him to desist, but he continued to do so, and on his again urging his request, he talked about having his name and reporting him. As the pri soner did desist he told him that he would fetch the mana ger, and the prisoner then went and took his seat. At the end of the first act the prisoner went to the bar and had something to drink, and afterwards remonstrated with him for interfering with him. Ho told the prisoner it was a cowardly act to persist in destroying property, when hp was told to desist, and the prisoner twisted round so as to bring the stone to the front, and struck him so that that the stone came on his cheek, and then gave him a severe kick and attempted to strike him again, but was prevented (the witness showed his leg, and there was a very severe wound on it.) Mr. Tyrwhitt fined the prisoner £3, or two months. THAMES. AN EXPENSIVE CAB iAR;.= Isaac D LISOD 7 alias Deasy, alias Decoy, engineer, of No. 12, Victoria-terrace, Queens road, Holloway, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with neglecting and refusing to pay Bs. cab fare to Joseph Dolby. The defendant had given much trouble to the complainant, whose servicos were not denied, and on in quiry being made after the address he had given, the answer was, no such person lives here. As he did not appear to the summons a warrant was granted for the apprehension of the prisoner. This morning before six o'clock Police-constable Stubbings, 111. 11, an officer of the court, repaired to Holloway "in the disguise of a gentleman," and then and there wished Mr. Duson, alias Deasey, a good morning. The bait took, and Dolby at the same time called out "You have him, seize him," and the defendant was marched off to Stepney before breakfast. The defendant did not think he could be arrested. The Cabman—Please your worship, railway passengers are compelled to pay their fares before they begin their journey ; we must get our fares how wo can. The defendant said he would pay the cab fare. Mr. Paget—And you must pay 13s. more. The defendant—How is that, sir? Mr. Paget—There is Bs. faro, 2s. for the summons, 2s for the warrant, 3s. for attendance when applying for the summons, and 3e. for the complainant's attendance on the warrant, making in all 21s. The defendant—Oh, dear. (Laughter.) Must t pay all that ? Mr. Paget—Every farthing of it, or go to prison for 7 days. The defendant —Oh, dear. (Loud laughter.) To what prison ? Mr. Paget—To the House of Correction. Roche, the gaoler of the court, was directed to take charge of Mr. Duson, alias Deasey, alias Deecy, and he soon locked him up. PRICE OF GOLD. The quotatim of gold at Paris is about at par, and t short exchange on London is 251425 a. per £1 sterling OnComparing these rates with the English Mint price of 125.1.04 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold at the above price is of higher value in London than in Waris. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 dare • sight was on the 14th inst. about 09i per cent. At this rate there is no profit on the importation of gold from the United States. Lord Stanley of Alderley:died last evening at the family residence in Dover-street, Piccadilly. his lordship bad been suffering for a considerable period from dropsy, and the last teu weeks had been confined to his room. D... Gull was in constant attendance upon his lordship, and was assiduoas in his exertions to alleviate his sufferings, but in spite of all efforts he succumbed to the disease a few minutes to ten last evening. An amusing account is given in last week's Satur day Review of a fox hunt in Illinois; at least, the Review says it was in Illinois, evidently under the impression that St. Louis is in that State. The fax went up a tree, and was brought down by a revolver ; but the Saturday Review is a little up a tree itself in its geography, as even it might be expected to know in what State a city was containing little less than 200,000 inhabitants.

LADTERTISENIENT.I—HoIIoway's Pills and Ointment.— Physical Strength.—For tho proper development and nourishment of the human body it is essential that the functions of the stomach, liver, kidneys, and bowels be performed with order and regularity. Holloway's reme dies readily insure both. The powers of the stomach are greatly augmented, and good gastric juice secreted in abundance, when this ointment is diligently rubbed twice a day over the pit of the stomach. The pills and ointment enable it to extract all the food's nutritive matter, and to thoroughly digest most articles of diet. Holloway's pre parations not only preserve the frame from " wear and tear," but stimulates it to store up nervous energy, as necessary to vitality as the mainspring of a watch.

On Wednesday afternoon a number of gentlemen from the large towns of Yorkshire,.and representing the York shire Church Institution, had an interview with some members of the House of Lords at the National Club, Whitehall-gardens. Owing to some error as to time or place, several peers who were expected did not arrive, but there were present the Duke of Rutland, the Earl of Bandon, and the Bishop of Tuam. A long report was read to their lordships, shelving the result of the various meetings held in the large towns of Yorkshire, the object being to impress upon the Peers the magnitude and popularity of the present movement in Yorkshire, originated and carried on by the Yorkshire Church Institution ; and several gentlemen also addressed their lordships, and informed them of the feeling which existed in Yorkshire. The Duke of Rumms-D, in reply, said he thought the deputation should have paid more attention to those noble lords who were inclined to vote for the second reading of the bill. He had done what he could in speak ing against the bill ; but if he could do anything as far as regarded any pressure that could be applied he would do so. It rejoiced his heart to know that Yorkshire was following the noble example set by Lancashire, for they were the two most im portant counties in England. The fueling that bad been shewn in Lancashire and Yorkshire—and he believed also in other districts of England —was extraordinary, and shewed that there was a reaction. He had always had a confident belief that the Protestant heart of England would not sanction the scheme of spoliation. He was astonished to hear Earl Grey, in the House of Lords, refer to the Appropriation Clause, for if ever there - was an argument in favour of throwing out the bill on the second reading, the fate of that clause was one. That clause was introduced in a bill brought in by the then Lord John Russell, in 1835, and carried through the Commons by a majority of about 38. It was sent to the House of Lords and rejected in 1836. The bill was passed a second time in the House of Commons by a majority of 33 or 35, and a second time it was rejected by the Lords. In 1837 Sir R. Peel asked Lord John Russell what he meant to do with respect to the Appropriation Clause, and Lord John Russell said he had then come to an entirely different conclusion upon the subject, and would not introduce it into the bill then proposed ; and for twenty-five years nothing more was heard of the Appropriation Clause. Earl Grey told the Con servative party that a victory would be fatal. Well, he only hoped they would have a majority against the second reading of the bill, and that that majority would be as fatal as the majority against the Appropriation Clause ; for if they could only stave off this Irish Church Bill for twenty-five years he, for one, would be satisfied. The Earl of BANDON said that living in the southern part of Ireland, where his own church was threatened to be taken away, he needed no persuasion to induce him to vote against the second reading of the bill; but it was a sincere pleasure to know that they had the sympathy of friends in Yorkshire and other parts of the North ofEng land. The noble lord who had been referred to told the House on the previous night that they should be warned by what happened at the time of the Reform Bill ; but the circumstances of the two cases were very different. Was the feeling of the country in favour of the bill? He had himself pre sented 300 petitions against the bill, and he had seen so many petitions in the House that the messengers were in trouble lest they should not be able to sort them in time. There was a strong feeling, then, in favour of rejecting the bill, but nothing to shew on the contrary. In the South of Ireland only the priests were in favour of the bill. Ask a farmer what he thought about it, and he would reply bat the priest told him it would be to his advantage, )ut that be did not see how it would put a shilling into his pocket. He hoped this point as to the feeling of the country would be strongly pressed upon the Lords, and if he had the opportunity of speaking in the debate, he would represent the sentiments which had been expressed. by the deputation. He thought the measure was the most iniquiteus and unjust that could be put forward, and he hoped, like the Appropriation Clause, the bill would be thrown out, and that the House would follow a precedent when, in the reign of Henry IV., a bill for the spoliation of Church property in Ireland was rejected by the Lords when sent up by the House of Commons. The Bishop of TRAM assured the deputation that there was a strong feeling among some of the Roman Catholic 'aity in Ireland that the Irish Church was a security of heir present liberty. The Duke of Rutland then left ; but before the depar ture of the Earl of Bandon and the Bishop of Tuam. The Rev. T. DARLING called attention to the speech of the Archbishop of Canterbury in the House of Lords, and added that if the Archbishop of York and the Bishop of Oxford followed in the same way, as it was said they would, England had arrived at a miserable stage, and it WAS time to speak out plainly. Before the meeting broke up it was decided to wait on the Archbishop of York another day ; and Lord Bandon also advised a deputation to the Archbishop of Canter bury. It is probable that the annual congress of tho National Association for the Promotion of Social Science will be held at Bristol. Next year and the year after tho congresses are to be held at Liverpool and Newcastle. ACCIDENT TO THE ROYAL TRAIN.—Just after the Queen left the railway carriage which had conveyed her from the North to Windsor, an accident occurred to the royal train. Some empty carriages belonging to the Great Western Railway Company were being "roped" into the stations, when, by some oversight, the points at the crossing were left open, and the " empties" ran on to the line on which the Queen's train was backing out of the station. A collision resulted, the van at the end of the royal train was thrown off the rails, and consider able damage was done. No one was hurt by the accident. PROPAGATION OF THE GOSPEL SOCIETY.—The 168th anniversary of this society was inaugurated on Wednesday by a festival service in the nave of Westmin ster Abbey. It is arranged that a second festival service shall be held in St. Paul's Cathedral on Wednesday next, when the Bishop of Lichfield is announced to preach. On the following day divine service will be held in thirteen London churches, and on Friday the annual meeting for the City will be held in the Egyptian Hall, Alansion House. The anniversary will be brought to a close by a meeting in St. George's Hall, Langbam-place, under the presidency of the Bishop of London. The society has this year to provide for the maintenance, in whole or in part, of 478 ordained missionaries, and about 700 lay teachers and students. In 1868 its receipts, general and special, were £103,132. PIRACY IN THE NORTH SEA.—The following incident of attempted robbery at sea is related by a foreign paper :—" Captain Dinkela, of the Antina, of Emden, reports that on his last voyage from Emden to Norway he was bearded by the fisher-boat John Cook, with a crew of nine men. In the first instance they pretended they only wished to barter fish for tobacco, but immediately afterwards they demanded meat and other provisions. On this being refused they proceeded to use violence, and forced their way into the cabin. One man made a rush at the captain, who was at the helm, while another tried to haul down the signal of distress, which the mate has just succeeded in hoisting. As the crew of the Antina consisted of only four men, they would probably have been completely overpowered, bad not a brig seen the signal and borne down to their assistance, upon which the fishermen beat au linmetliat,, ictrcat." AN AMERICAN STORY. —The Columbus (Ohio) Journal gives a description of a singular will made by a shrewd business man of that city who had accumulated a fortune. It says that the will disinherits all the natural heirs of the maker of it, and devises the entire property in trust for the establishment of an Infirmary for Cats. A most elaborate architectural plan for the necessary buildings is attached to, and made part of, the will. It provides areas, and rat-holes to be kept well stocked. The most ingenious contrivances are provided for securing to the rat a chance of escape, so that the cats may not lose the pleasures of the chase. High walls are to be built with gently sloping roofs, for the moonlight promenade and other nocturnal amusements of the cats. The trustees are directed to select the grounds for this novel infirmary in the most populous part of some American city, and the devices are to be pro tected by a competent force of nurses from the ravages of men and dogs. No person of the male sex is ever to be admitted within the walls, and no female who has children or is under 30 years old. The first provision of the will seems most outrageously bizarre. Says the devisor :—" I have all my life been taught to believe thht everything in and about man was intended to be useful, and that it was man's duty, as lord of animals, to protect all the lesser species even as God protects and watches over him. For these two combined reasons—first, that my body, even after death, may continue to be made useful ; and, secondly, that it may be made instrumental, as far as possible, in furnishing a substitute for the protec tion of the bodies of my dear friends, the cats — I do hereby devise and bequeath the intestines of my body to be made up into fiddlestrings, the proceeds to be devoted to the purchase of an accordion, which shall be played in the auditorium of the Cat Infirmary by one of the regular nurses, to be selected for that purpose exclusively—the playing to be kept up for ever and ever, without cessation day or night, in order that the cats may have the privilege of always hearing and enjoying that instrument which is the nearest annreach to their natural voices.* 1 1 11111 D EDITION. The Third Edition of " The Sun " of last Evening. was published in time for delivery in town at 7.13 p.m. SUN OFFICE, 7 O'CLOCK. IMPERIAL PARMA :ENT HOUSE OF LORDS.—Tms EVENING. Tho groat interest in the debate was again manifested, and the house presented the same crowded state it has exhibited during the two former evenings. _ _ The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. MR. BRIGHT'S LETTER. Lord CAIRNS then rose, and after alluding to the im portance of some explanation being given on tho sub ject of a letter, signed " John BrigLt," said it was most singular, to say the least of it, that the letter should not have made its appearance until two days after the motion with respect to the Irish Church Bill had been given by his noble friend (the Earl of Harrowby). The noble and learned lord then read the letter in ques tion, and dwelt in particularly strong terms upon the allusion in it to the childish tinkering with the constitu tion their lordships were indulging in in endeavouring to perfect the Life Peerages Bill. (Loud laughter.) The letter also upheld that their lordships were acting in direct opposition to the will of the nation in obstruct ing the progress of the Irish Church Bill and other imputations of the most unjustifiable nature were used, which rendered the publication of its production in fact as a menace to the house. He thought the writing such a letter was altogether unprecedented by a minister of the Crown—(hear, hear) -and calculated to produce the utmost danger to the free discussion of the question by their lordships. He thought it highly objection able that there should be one member of the Go vernment continually doing all that was smooth and bland within the house, whilst another member of it was doing all that was quite contrary out of it. (Hear hear.) He thought it would be idle to call the letter a pri vate communication, because it was to all intents and pur poses a party manifesto, and so it was looked upon through out the country. (Hear, hear.) He hoped the noble earl opposite would, in answer to his question, repudiate the sentiments contained in the letter which he had brought under the attention of the house. Earl GRANVILLE said the letter was written by Mr. Bright, but he could not accept the paraphrase the noble and learned lord had been pleased to give of it to their lordships. (Hear, hear.) Ile was certain that the greatest desire of the right hon. gentleman was in no way to cvor awe the deliberation of their lordships with respect to the Irish Church Bill, and he was quite sure that none of the oolleagues of the right hon. gentleman were acquainted with the contents of the letter in question previous to its being sent, and the first time they had the opportunity of perusing its contents was when it appeared in the public newspapers. It was admitted that there was a great deal of John Bullism about Mr. Bright, and he supposed it was in that rash combative feeling R hich was given to John Bullism that Mr. Bright thought he might express his opinion of a house which libd made such free comments upon his con duct as a public man—(hear, hear.)—recalling more especially the proceoedings that took place at a certain meeting of the Conservative Peers in St. James's-square. Mr. Bright had no intention of acting disrespectfully to the House of Lords, and he entirely repudiated such an intention. Mr. Bright had assured him that what he intended was merely to express his own yersonal feel ings, and if ho had given pain to any of their lord ships, ho had begged him (Earl Grenville) to assure their lordships that such was not his intention. With respect to the words "tinkering and unwise," he (Earl Gran ville) should rather prefer them than the welds that had been applied to his side of the house by a noble lord who had not hesitated to denounce him as dishonest. rLEFT SITTING. HOUSE OF COM AIONS.—Tuis EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. MEXICO. Mr. OTWAY, in reply to Mr. B. Seymour. said the diplomatic relations between this country and Mexico re mained precisely the same as they were when the noble lord opposite was Foreign Minister. The Government were quite open to renew relations, but it was felt, under all circumstances, the first step towards the matter could not be made by this country. (near, hoar.) THE LADIES' GALLERY. Mr. HERBERT said, on going into Committee of Sup• ply, ho should move that the grating in front of the ladies' gallery be removed. (Hear, hear.) MR BRIGIIVS LETTER Colonel NORTH asked the First Lord of the Treasury whether the latter read at a public mooting at Birming. ham, on Monday, the 14th, signed "John Bright," and which has appeared in the public journals, was written by the President of the Board of Trade, and, if so, whether the Government concur in the opinions expressed therein ? Mr. GLADSTONE said he had to st,to that the letter alluded to was the production of his right honourable friend—(hear, hear, and laughter)— and ho might further state that it was written without consultation with his colleagues. The letter to which allusion had been made was published iu the same news paper as a letter he (Mr. Gladstone) had written to a gen tleman at Bradford, but his communication bad not been dignified with the same large type as that of his right hon. friend—(hear, hear, and laughter)—and therefore it had not succeeded in getting the same amount of conside ration—(hear, hear)—a circumstance which, he might say, afforded him some mortification. (Laughter.( With respect to the letter of his right hon. friend, the Government had not and did not intend to consider whether they ought to approve of it or not, because there were motives which, although they might approve of individually, as a Go vernment they could not deal with. There were matters upon which both houses were extremely jealous, but he might say that nothing with respect to the control of the free action of the other house of the Legislature could fur , ther from the desire of his right hon. frier d to interfere in any way with the exercise of that free action which they undoubtedly possessed. The ho;se then proceeded to resume the adjourned debate, on the subject of issuing a now writ for Dublin. rLEFT SITTING. ANOTHER RAID UPON A BETTING- ROUSE. MARYLEDONE POLICE COURT-THIS DAY. Michael Emanuel, aged 20, of 21, Ilenrietta street, Manchester-square, metal merchant, was charged before Mr. Mansfield with unlawfullyassist ing in conducting a betting-house and a yard for betting purposes, at No. 22, Henrietta-street, and the following were severally charged with being found in a betting-house and a yard used for betting purposes at No. 22, Henrietta-street, Manchester-square :—•Janes Baker, aged 40, 12, High-street, Marylebone, servant, out of place ; Charles Lumley, aged 33, 18, Grosvenor-market, Davies street, painter ; Charles Fraser, aged 25, 2, Henrietta-street, Manchester-square, rag sorter; Frederick Finnimore, aged 28, 96, East street, Manchester-square, coach painter ; Edward West, aged 22, 2, New Quebec-street, butcher ; Wm. Morris, aged 27, 43, Bishop's-yard, Mount street, Grosvenor-square, servant; James \Voodley, aged 37, 37, Gilbert-street, carpenter; Wm.

Superintendent Draper, of the D division, watched the case on behalf of Colonel Henderson, the Chief Commissioner of Police. Mr. Lewis, sen., of Ely-place, appeared for Emanuel and several of the other prisoners, and Mr. W. 11. Davis, of Golden-square, for Medex. When the prisoners were placed in court, all hav ing surrendered to their bail, Mr. Lewis said he must ask for au adjournment, as he had not had sufficient time to receive instructions from his clients. Mr. Davis also, on behalf of his client, wished for an adjournment. Superintendent Draper had no objection to the adjournment. From what could be gathered it appears that Inspectors Ilindes, and Lucas of the D division, with a posse of constables under the com mand of the superintendent entered the house named and apprehended the prisoners, and also took possession of a number of cards and betting books. Superintendent Draper in his endeavour to apprehend one of the parties has seriously hurt his right ankle. All parties agreeing, Mr. Mansfield adjourned the case for a week, allowing all parties to be at large on their own recognisances in th sum of £lO. COURSE OF EXCHANGE.

Since the great demand for photographic lenses has diminished, an opportunity has been afforded for applying mechanical power with the greatest success, whereby the cost of, these beautiful and most perfect instruments is reduced in price in souse instances to us much as 20 per cent. In fact they are now no dearer than those of the best French or English makers. At the depot Callaghan, 23A, New Bond-street, corner of Gonduit-street, the patrons of tho Derby may indulge their taste in the possession of a veritable Voigtlituder at comparatively trifling cost. It is superfluous to say the quality is as ever matchless. LIVERPOOL SUMMER MEETING. TUESDAI Weights fur the Liverpoul added to a sweepstakes of •e extra. One mile and a ha r, June 29.
