The dire c t ors of the Bank of England have CLocK held their usual court, and have not made any alteration in their rate of discount. A change was not gene rally expected, although some parties held their securities in reserve in case a reduction should have been announced. The demand for accommodation is consequently active, and in the open market the brokers are negotiating the best description of three months' paper at 9 per cent. The sum of £94,000 was sent into the Bank of England yesterday afternoon.

Mr. Sergeant Parry appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Coleridge for the defendant. , Mr. Parry, in opening the case, said the defendant was the printer of a small publication called the Glowworm, and that a short time ago the plaintiff brought an action against him for a libel, reflecting on the plaintiff's character as an actor, which appeared in the above journal, when the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff. After the trial another ciltique appeared, reflecting still stronger on the plaintiff's character. After Mr. Parry had briefly opened the case, Mr. Coleridge, on the part of the proprietors of the above journal, made an ample apology, and consented to a verdict for £5 ss. The case then terminated. SROREDITCH COUNTY COURT. (Before Mr. Dasent.) A £5 SUIT LASTING EIGHTEEN YEARS.-ALLEN V. B iIItFOOT. This was one of the most singular cases ever brought into a court, and disclosed how a debtor may baffie his creditor, and how the creditor may, if sufficiently per tinacious, continually succeed in bringing that debtor to book. The present proceedings were taken in the form of a judgment summons. The plaintiff was a draper of Hatton-garden, and he first sued defendant in this court upon a debt of £4 10s. sd. in 1848, when Mr. flarfoot was ordered to pay ss. per month. Plaintiff after this laid by until March, 1850, when he again brought defendant before the Court, defendant being then ordered to pay 15s. per month. It would appear that defendant temporised with his creditors for some time, for the third summons did not issue until June, 1854, when he agreed to pay 4s. per month. Defendant paid a few instalments, and then dis appeared, but was hunted out and appeared a fourth time before the court in November, 1857. Again he enlisted the sympathy of the late judge of the court, Mr.. Sergeant Storks, who made a fresh order of ss. per month. For three years after this ho managed to keep his creditor at, bay, but was brought to this court, for the fifth time, oa a judgment summons in 1860. He was committed for ten days, and the amount was allowed to stand over upon the defendant paying a certain sum. It happened, however, that the defendant could not be found, and these proceed ings fell through. Nothing daunted, however, the plain tiff followed out his cause—which by this time seems to have become a labour of love to him—and he succeeded in bringing his debtor again before the Court (this was the sixth time) in Jan., 1863. Defendant was again committed for ten days, and this time went to prison. He had, during this long period, paid various sums, and, with a little care, might have been a free man. His imprisonment, however, had little effect upon him, and he was brought up for 'the seventh time on the 25th of April, 1865, when he.was again committed for On days, but he paid a small part of the debt, asAd was left alone until March, 1866, when he came . up for tie eighth time, and was sent to prison again for ten days. He came up for the ninth time this morning and it then appeared that the accounts stood as follows : Debt and costs, £s.Bs. 2d.; money paid by the defendant, £4l2s. ; thus leaving the sum to be paid 16s. His Honour made a fresh order, and told defendant that if he did not pay he would most certainly be sent to prison for forty days. The defendant then stood committed again for ten days, the warrant to stand over fur a certain time. The detailment of the history of this remarkable case created considerable interest in court, and somewhat astonished the Judge himself. CRIMINAL COURT—This Day. THE CANNON-STREET MURDER. The trial of William Smith, alias Denton, charged with the murder of Mrs. Milsom, housekeeper to Messrs. Beving ton and Son, No. 2, Cannon-street, City, on Wednesday, April 11th last, was resumed at the Old Bailey this morning. Mr. Metcalfe and Mr. Striaght appeared for the prose cution ; and Mr. Sergeant Ballantine and Mr. Montagu Williams for the defence. The following witnesses were called on behalf of the prisoner :—Henry Harris, John Harris, Henry Costen, and John Starling, all of whom swore that the prisoner did not leave Eton on the night of the murder. LIVe shall continue the case in our late edition.] POLICE DITELLIGENCE.--Th is Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. PADRONI AND THEIR INHUMANITY TO CHILDREN.—Dr. Bloxham, ono of the medical officers of St. George's, Hanover-square, waited upon Mr. Knox this morning, ac companied by a little Italian boy, and said that as he was passing through Maddox-street this moaning about one o'clock, he saw the poor little fellow lying on a door-step. lie asked the boy why he did not go home, and he said that he had not enough money to take home to the padrone, with whom he lived on Saffron-hill. Ho in - quired of the boy what would be the consequence of his not having enough money, and how much he was expected to take home, and the boy replied to his first question that he would bo beaten, and to his second that he was required to give the padrone 2s. He then took the boy to the infirmary, he being cold and hungry, and nou rishment was given him, and ho had felt it his duty to toting him before his worship that morning, in order that some steps might bo taken against the padrone, who had ten of these children in his hands, and who was in the habit of beating them when they did not satisfy his de mands, and also with the view of the boy's being sent back to his native place, being fully aware of the inhumanity practised towards these boys. In answer to Mr. Knox, the boy said he came to this country three months ago with the padrone, who was in the habit of beating him. Mr. Knox, having ascertained that the boy's age was 10, said that he clearly came within the words of the Act, which authorised the magistrate to interfere in the case of any child apparently under the age of 14 years that is found wandering, &c. He would send the child to the worhhouse, where he would be well cared for, and he could be brought before him again in a week; and in the meantime Dr. Melid, the almoner to the Italian Minister, could be communicated with. Dr. Bloxham said the boy should be at once taken back to the workhouse. THAMES. AUDACIOUS ROBBERY BY A CARMAN.—William Crane, a carman, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with stealing a large quantity of quicksilver, the property of his master, Mr. Charles Birks, looking-glass manufacturer, of No. 2, Greenfield-street, Whitechapel. It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner had been in the service of Mr. Becks ever since the Wednesday in Passion Week, and in the course of that time he had missed large quantities of quicksilver. The loss of quicksilver had lately increased, and in the last fortnight 122 lbs. were missed. The value was £3 per pound. A few days since Mr. Birks taxed the prisoner with robbing him, and said, " What do you mean by taking my silver ?" The prisoner made loud protestations of innocence, and said, " When you detect me throw weights at, my head." Yesterday afternoon the prisoner was leaving his master's warehouse, when it was suspected by Mr. Birks and son that he had a bottle of quicksilver about him, and he was stopped and searched, and a bottle containing 21bs. of quicksilver was found upon him. A gallipot containing more quicksilver was found in his master's van, where he had concealed it. The prisoner asked the prosecutor to forgive him, and said ho had only taken a similar quantity before, and sold it for 2s. 6d. The prisoner pleaded guilty. Mr. Partridge said be had no doubt the prisoner had robbed his master to a considerable extent, and he ought to have taken notice of the caution given by his master last week. He convicted the prisoner of larceny, and sen tenced him to four months' imprisonment and hard labour. CRUELTY TO A HORSE.—Joseph Sealy, aged 19, was brought before Mr. Partridge charged with cruelty to a horso on the towing path of the Regent's Canal. M r . W. Love, of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, prosecuted ; and Mr. Joseph Smith, solicitor, defended the prisoner. The court was cleared of women and children while the case was heard, and it was fully proved by Mr. Jas. Lewis, veterinary surgeon, of the Canal-basin, City-road, and other witnesses, who saw the prisoner commit the foolish and brutal act complained of. Mr. Joseph Smith said no pain was caused by the absurd act of the prisoner, and there was no uneasiness. It could not be said to be an act of cruelty. Mr. Partridge said ho was quite satisfied the horse was in pain for 24 hours, and the evidence of the respectable veterinary surgeon who had been examined was conclusive. The act committed by the prisoner was ono of a most dis gusting nature, and how any one could take pleasure in such a case as this he could not conjecture. Ile thought the legal part of the case was made out. It was a clear case of abuse of a horse. If he thought the prisoner had a deliberate intention of putting the horse to pain ho would have sentenced him to three months' imprisonment and hard labour. He hoped this would be a warning to brutal and ill-disposed people not to behave in such a mischiveous and disgusting way again. He sentenced the prisoner to 21 days' imprisonment and hard labour. CURIOUS DlSCOVERY.—Yesterday, as a gang of excavators were at work in tunnelling through Thurlow hill, Norwood-lane, for the purpose of completing the new line of railway from New-cross to Sutton, they dug out, at a very considerable depth from the surface of this hill. part of a leaden coffin, which contained the remains of the skull and other parts of human bones, some ancient copper coins obliterated, and a kind of small spear or dag ger in a very decayed condition. The spot where they were dug out resembled an earth cave or depository, and there was a species of subterraneous passage leading out of it. History records that an old feudal castle stood, some centuries ago, near to this part, and that it was demolished in revolutionary times, and this great hill thrown up for military purposes and shelter. Education of Poor Catholic Children. PUBLIC MEETING THIS. DAY. This morning a very lap public meeting was held at St. James's Hall, for the purpose of taking means for tho extension of Catholic education amongst the poor. His Grace the Most Rev. Dr. Manning, the Archbishop of Westminite presided. The Right Rev. CHATR3IIN said if he were simply to discharge his duty of presiding at the meeting he should detain them but a very short time, but taking more than an ordinary interest in the sibi cct then to be brought before them, he was also animated by a motive which was that of urgency, which would be quite sufficient excus , , he was certain, fer his requiring the ideasure of their attendance on the present occasion. Al! were equally interested with himself in the great work of education. Nothing was dearer to the heart of his illustrious predecessor than the cause of education—(hear, bear)--and when the illustrious Cardinal lay dead he had on him a rochet worked by the orphans of Norwood. He had, in the steps he had taken towards improving the education of the poor, only followed out the line laid down by the great man who had passed away. The liberality of the Catholics had enabled them to do much, and it was the more delightful to know HIM private charity had accom plished so much, but much remained to be done, and it was of the greatest importance that active steps ahould be taken to bring about a more extended system by which the children would be given that which was beyond price or estimation. In the last few years more than 4,000 children had been added to those already who attended their schools, and a sum of £20,000 had been spent in maintaining those mission schools in the diocese. (Hear, hear.) He begged to return thanks for the great good that had actually been performed, and to show the work that remained to be performed, he. would state, in detail, the present state of Catholic education. His Grace then said they had now 148 Catholic schools, and in 18634, 11,642 children attended these schools. In 1864-65 the attendance was 11,342, or a diminution of 300 ; in the years 1865-66 the number was 11,145, still a diminution of 200, so that in the last two years the number of children" attending their schools amounted to more than 500. The pupil teachers had also for the same period diminished, but that was not a discouragement, because the falling off was identical with the publication of the change of the minutes of education by the Privy Council. The same cause had led to the decrease in the number of pupil teachers in the country at large and in the Estab lished Church. He did •not attribute the falling off to any slackening of zeal, but to other and more tran sient causes. The right rev. chrirman then read from a tabular statement to show the number of Catholic children who were at that time totally 'Without the means of education, and from which it appeared there were over 7,000. It was to provide for these that he now besought their aid. (We shall continue tho report in a lator editiort.) Railway and Other Bills in Parliament.

This case has at length concluded unfavourably t o t h e claim of Mrs. Ryves. Notwithstanding the interposition of the Court, Dr. Smith, the counsel for Mrs. Ryves, insisted on his right to address the jury. After a. lengthened speech the learned counsel resumed his seat, when The jury immediately found a verdict for the Crown on, all the issues. A number of the documents produced during the t vial were ordered to be impounded. IMPERIAL PARLIAIEENT HOUSE OF COMAIONS—LAST EvrasuNG. The SPEAKER. took the chair at 12 o'clock. • TESTS ABOLITION (OXFORD) BILL. The house went into committee on this bill, Sir W. HEATHCOTE moved an amendment to the first clause, the effect of which was to exclude from Con vocation all those who had been admitted to degree.s withoutraaking the declaration of conformity to the Church of England. Mr. COLERIDGE objected to the amendment, g © sidered it went to the root of the bill, and if th e house „;.: sented to it the measure would become entirely worthless. He frankly admitted that the object of the bill was proposed for the purpose of bringing Dissenters into the University, but not to introduce them into colleges to interfere with religious teaching. Mr. B. HOPE supported the amendment. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it had been hinted that the Government, if such a measure as that was necessary, were the parties who ought to deal with this maker, and he might say the Go vernment was quite ready to acquit themselves of the task if they saw a favourable indication in the house that the bill would pass. Much required to be done before the question was settled, and, under all the circumstances, he thought it would be the wisest course for the present to withdraw the bill. He was not speaking on behalf of the Government in asking the hon. and learned gentleman to take this course ; but it was his individual opinion that dealing with the matter as proposed by the hon. arid learned gentleman was most imperfect. He objected to the continual nibbling by Parliament at the principle o n which university education was founded, and therefore, as the bill would not effectually settle the difficult and deli cate matter, he could not give it his support. (Hear s hear.) Mr. G. DUFF regretted the determination to which the right hon. gentleman who had just resumed his seat had come. He had hoped that he might have been induced to support the bill, instead of opposing it in a manner as strenuously as any of the hon. gentlemen who occupied the Opposition benches. Sir S. NORTHCOTE supported the amendment. Mr. C. FoRTESCUE opposed, and Viscount CEANBOUICE supported, the amendment. Mr. EVANS supported the amendment, because he thought the bill tended to promote religious freedom. After a few words from Mr. Lomix and Lord J. MAN INTERS, - Sir G. GREY said the Government were not prepared to interpose in this matter, because it was one in which the greatest liberty of conscience was necessary. His right hon. friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer had expressed his opi nion, and he (Sir G. Grey) could not agree with him in opposing the amendment, therefore he should give his vote in favour oTthe clause as it stood in the bill of the hon. member for Exeter. The house then divided, when there appeared—. For the amendment 172 Against it Maj o r i t y 245 Sir W. HEATHCOTE 73 said, after such a majority against him, he should not press the other amendments. (Hear, hear.) The clauses in the bill wore agreed to, and the bill was reported to the house without amendment. POOR RELIEF (IRELAND) LAW AMENDMENT dicap stakes o. f 5 sovs each; winners extra.

Leverrier, Director of the Paris Observatory, has addressed a circular to the journals announcing that the general session of the Scientific Association of France will be held at Marseilles on the 18th, 19th, and 20th of the present month. The journals of that city announce the arrival there of •M. Leverrier, and add that the great telescope of the tower on the plateau of Longchamp, which had been sent to Paris to be repaired, has now been reinstalled in its place, BILL. Mr. C. IL BARRY moved the second reading of this bill, the object of which was to alter the system of poor rating in Ireland by substituting an union rating in place of that of electoral divisions. (Hear, hear.) lie said that the present system had worked most mis chievously, in consequence of the inequality of the towns compared with the rural districts, and it was to remedy that state of things that the present bill was introduced. Mr. GREGORY, as an amendment, moved that the bill be read a second time that day six months. He was of opinion that it was a measure altogether uncalled for and unnecessary. Lord C. HAMILTON, who seconded the amendment, was addressing the house at a quarter to six, at which hour the debate, according to the standing order, ceased. The other orders of the day were thea disposed of and the house adjourned. SAFETY IN SHIPWRECK.—We understand (re marked the Times of the 7th inst., that Capt. H. W. Hire, of her Majesty's screw troopship Orontes, has sub mitted to the Admiralty a plan for utilising the present bridges on the upper deck of troop and other passenger screw steam vessels as lifeboats. The screw now having superseded paddle wheels in these vessels, the old paddle box lifeboat is lost as a means of saving life at sea, or of landing quickly any large body of troops. It is with a farhasbeenandMr. matured. for the Orontes which will also serve as a bridge. It will be 10ft. in width and 50ft. long, the breadth of the ship, and it will be constructed on Lamb and White's patent. When launched from the ship and filled to the gunwale with water, it will , b y means of air cases, be able to carry 150 men, each man carrying with him 201bs. of food or stores. Th ere can b e no dou b t as to the fitness of Lamb and White's patent in the construction of such a boat, and the most important point afterwards remaining for consideration is the mode proposed for getting the boat in and out of the ship from its bridge position, above the level of the hammock nettings, to its position, afloat on the *water alongside the ship, and back again from boat to bridge. This is accomplished in the following manner : The boat is mounted athwart the ship's deck, as a " bridge," the keel of the boat fitting in a gro ove, and on a platform which is nothing more or less than a set of launching ways, the bilges of the boat resting on the side " ways." These are u cu to t in be to lowered a w l arg e port on each side rather wid er th an the boat, and when openw a bul warks throws n n ea t tw the screw stanchion s are lowered on ' the side required, the port opened, and the boa t lowered down until th e l ower end of the w ay s onits ways onrest the ship's side over her waterway. The stri • king up then of an ordinary dogsh ore releases the boat, and sends her off and e s afloat along s id e the ship, ip. In getting her in again two th reefold tackles, f rom • davits fixed at each end of the ways, lift one end of the boat on the lower end of the in clined ways ; another tackle from their further end hauls the boat into its seat ; the ways and boat are then swayed into position again, screw stanchions are set up and fasten ing made good, and the whole has now become a bridge again. The boat is thus got in and out of the ship without any purchase from her masts and ysris. The platfor m of of the brid ge i s f ormed o f pro p e rly fi tted plankng I d over the boat' s th war ts, and left on board the ship when she is sen t a fl oa t. Th e on ly objectionablefeature suggested . the probable weight of the on consideration appears to be on board a steamship boat and its ways when in po sition Capt. Hire will have to deal as her bridge. This, howeve r, be carried into practical effect with ; and if the scheme . . will be made to the troop_ 'clerabie addition a very eons). landing powers of o ur screw troop steamships an d t o t h e all screw stea ms hips at sea. life-saving powers of .
