MONEY MARKET AND C OUMEROIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLK. The di rectors of the Bank of England have OC held . their usual court, rail and have not made any alteration lu their rate of discount. A change was not gene y" pected, although some parties held their securities in reserve in case a reduction should have been announced. The demand for accommodation is consequently active, and i n th e o p en mar k e t the r° kera are negotiating the best description of three months' paper at 9 per cent.

COURT OF EXCHEqUER (Before Mr. Baron Martin.) EMERY V. JEWITT. Mr. Sergeant Parry appeared for the plaintiff, and M: 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 critique 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 caso then terminated. SHOREDITCH COUNTY COURT. (Before Mr. Dasent.) A £5 SUIT LASTING EIGHTEEN YEARS.-ALLEN Y. B 9.RFOOT. 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 ho first sued defendant in this court upon a debt of £4 10s. sd. in 1848, when Mr. .Barfoot 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 ho 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 he managed to keep his creditor at bay, but was brought to this court, for the fifth time, on 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 ho was brought up for the seventh time on the 25th of April, 1865, when he,was again committed for ton days, but he paid a small part of the debt, and was left alone until March, 1866, when he came up for the 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, £5 Bs. 2d.; money paid by the defendant, £4 12s. ; thus leaving the sum to be paid 16s. His Honour made a fresh order, and told defendant that if he did not pay ho would most certainly be sent to prison for forty days. The defendant then stood committed again for ten days, the warrant to stand over for a certain time. The detailment of the history of this remarkable case created considerable interest iu court., and somewha astonished the Judge himswlf. 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 sworn that the prisoner did not leave Eton on the night of the murder. After some further evidence, Sergeant Ballantine summed up, and Mr. Metcalfe roplied, The jury, without any hesitation, found tho prisone: Not Guilty." The Prisoner exclaimed—Thank you, gentlemen; I am as innocent as a baby. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.---This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. PADRONI AND THEIR INHUMANITY TO CHILDREN.—Dr. Bloxham, one 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 morning about one o'clock, he saw the poor little fellow lying on a door-step. He 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 be beaten, and to his second that he was required to give the padrone 2s. Ho then took the boy to the infirmary, he being cold and hungry, and nou rishment was given him, and he had felt it his duty to bring him before his worship that morning, in order that some steps might be 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 ho came to this country three months ago with tho 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 workhouse, where ho 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. Blosham said the boy should be at once taken back to the workhouse. THAMES. AUDACIOUS ROBBERY BY A CARMAN.—.William Crane, 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. Beoks 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 sou 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 he 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. Mr. 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 he 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. He 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 he 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. A choral meeting of 5,000 voices will be held at the Crystal Palace on Wednesday next, under the direc tion of Mr. G. W. Martin. The programme will include choruses, anthems, part songs, &c. Some of the part music has been arranged for soprano voices only, and will be sung in four-part harmony with nearly a thousand soprano voices to each part.

This morning a very large public meeting was held at St. James's Hall, for the purpose of taking means for the extension of Catholic education amongst the poor. His Grace the Most Rev. Dr. Manning, the Archbishop of Westminster, presided. Amongst those present on the platform were :—Tho Austrian Ambassador, Lord Edward Howard, Lord Staf ford, Lord Petro, Hon. Charles Langdale, Hon. Alfred Stourton; -- Blake, M.P., Sir G. Bowyer, M.P., Sir John Simeon, Hon. Henry Petre, the Hon. the Master of 'Terries, George Blount, Esq., Aubrey do Vero, Esq., E. Blount, Esq., A.

Lockhart, Very Rev. Mgr. Virtue, Very Rev. Mgr. Pat terson, Rev. Mr. Barge, Rev. F. Knox, Rev. F. Bagshawe, Rev. F. Locke, Very Rev. Canon Serle, dc., ex. The Right Rev. CHAIRMAN 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 subject then to be brought before them, he was also animated by a motive which was that of urgency, which would be quite sufficient excuse, he was certain, fer his requiring the pleasure of their attendance on the present occasion. All were equally interested w ith himself in the great work of education. Nothing was dearer to the heart of his illustrious predecessor than the cause of educati on —(h ear, hear) __and when the illust r i ous Cardinal lay dead he had on him a rochet worked by the orphans of Norwood. Ho had, in the steps he had taken towards improving the education of the poor, only follo we d out the line laid down by the great man who had passed away. The liberality of the Catholics had en a bl e d t h em to do much, and it was the more delightf u l t o k now that private charity had accom plished so much, b u t much remained to be done,and a d'asof the great es t i mportance that active stepsshouldwls) taken to bring ab ou t a more extended syst<imYwhich h the children would be g i ven t h at 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 ma intaining 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 1863-4, 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 diminished 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. chairman then read from a tabular statement to show the number of Catholic children who were at that time total:y 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. Such being the case, he felt he was only speak ing the sentiments of the great assembly he then had the privilege of addressing when he said there ought not to be a Catholic child in London in anything but a Catholic school, and he confidently anticipated that the result of that day's proceedings would be to bring about and finally accomplish that great object. (Hear, hear.) His Grace then proceeded to allude to the number of Catholic children in workhouses, which, he stated, to amount" to over 1,000, all of which were being brought up as Pro testants. This he considered was most unjust, and he then proceeded to notice the article published in the Times commenting upon the pastoral his grace had published, and said he felt great pleasure in the closing remark, which was to wish success to the movement of Thursday (the present meeting). Again adverting to the position of Catholics in workhouses, he asked if it was what they then present at the meeting would feel disposed to be satisfied with. (Hear, hoar.) And although he did not find fault with the letter of the law, he most strenuously objected to a mal-administration of the law. What they wanted, therefore, was that the 1,000 children now in Protestant workhouses might be placed under their own charge—(hear, hear) —and he contended they ought to have them. To provide for the wants of these 1,000 children and others they wanted at least 35 now schools, and that would entail upon them the necessity of raising a permanent fund for their support,which did not at present exist. They had annual subscriptions promised—year, £2,756 ; donations, £783 ; and in the bank, £849 ; but the sum was not a permanent income, and what he had to impress upon them was the necessity of creating a fund to be devoted to the education of the poor Catholic chil dren. (Hear, hear.) He knew the great charity which had already been extended to education, but he thought he was not anticipating too much when he confidently looked forward to the great desire of his heart having been thoroughly and efficiently accomplished. After noticing in a very feeling manner the exertions of .Mr. Charles Langdale in the cause of education, his grace resumed his seat. The Hon. CHARLES LANGDALE acknowledged the com pliments of his grace, and said that without they edu cated their own poor children some one else would soon do it for them. (Laughter and cheers.) Lord PEE= then came forward, and moved the follow ing resolution, which was as follows : " That, notwithstanding the efforts made by both the clergy and the laity in the cause of Catholic emancipation, it is certain that many thousands of our poor children are, from various causes, debarred from its advantages, and are consequently exposed to the moral and spiritual dangers which abound on every side." The Rev. R. G. MACMULLEN seconded the resolution. Re said they had much to do, for in addition to the 1,000 Catholic children in workhouses they had 19,000 children to educate. The resolution was carried unanimously. Lord EDWARD HOWARD then moved the second resolu tion, viz. : " That in order to provide sufficient means of education for our poor Catholic children, and to avail ourselves of the benefits held out to those wbo are convict and destitute by the acts of Parliaments for reformatory and industrial schools, and also to make timely provision for the care of our of Pa praliamuper children, who, we trust, by the just legislatio n effort i s needeent,d." beconfided to us, a prompt and special This resolution was seconded by Canon Oexur, and carried unanimously. folloViscount Nonatzvs moved th e t hi r d reso l ut i on, as : " That an account be o and the Rev. ned e names of his Grace the Archbishop, the Lord E pe.

CROWN LANDS BILL. Earl GRANVILLE said to-morrow evening he should move that instead of the bill being referred to a select committee it should be referred to a committee of the whole house. Lord CHELMSFORD and Lord NELSON gave notice that they would move amendments in committee. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a second time :—Neath New Gas Company, Whitby, Redcar, and Middlesborough Union, Edgware, Highgate, and London Railway, New port Pagnall Railway, and Wantage and Great Western Junction Railway. The following bills were read a third time and passed': — Metropolitan and St. John's -wood Railway (Capital), Crofthead and Kilmarnock Railway, Saltash Road, Wig ton Water, and Worcester, Bromyard, and Leominster Railway. RIGHTS OF DRAMATIC WORKS AND FICTIONS BILL. Lord LYTTLETON , in moving the second reading of this bill, said that Mrs. Henry Wood, the celebrated autho ress, had written'to him setting for the necessity for the passing of a measure like the present bill. lie believed that a large amount of hardship was inflicted upon authors, whether novelists or dramatists, by the existing state of the law. An author had a right to be protected, and as the law as at present stood he was not, because his work might be dramatised, and he derived no advantage from its productions in a theatrical form which he cal culated was most unfair t o an original writer. Earl TAUNTON strongly denounced the bill, and moved as an amendment that it should be read a second time this day six months. Earl GRANVILLE considezed that the bill was calcu lated to act injuriously, because literary p ro d uct i ons were rendered valuable by being presented in a dramatic form, and ho referred to several works of distinguished authors, the value of which ho contended would never have been appreciated unless they had been produced in a theatrical form. The house then divided. Contents for the second reading ll Non-contents 89 Majority —7B [LEFT SITTING.] HO USE OF COMMONS —Tins EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS.

THE REFORM BILL. Mr. M. GASKILL gave notice that, in the event of the amendment of the noble lord (Dunkellin) being agreed to, he should move the substitution of a £6 for a £7 rating. Mr. BEAUMONT also gave notice of a similar motion for the reduction of the county qualification, viz., the sub stitution of a £l2 for a £l4 county rating. COURTS-MARTIAL. Colonel NORTH asked the Judge-Advocate-General what was the legal effect of a free pardon granted by her Majesty to an officer who had been tried and convicted by a court-martial ; and whether, in the case of Captain Stack, formerly of the 65th Regiment, to whom a free pardon was granted in 1864, such free pardon had been carried out in its integrity ? Mr. HEADLAM said the legal effect of a free pardon from the sentence of a court-martial was quite the same as other tribunals, viz., a remission of the sentence , but that did not carry with it any ground f or comp ensation. The terms of the pardon granted to Captain Stack was fully made known to him, viz., to be placed te mporar il y on half-par, but there was nothing to entitle him to arrears of pay. [f the pardon had not been carried out in its integrity, it did not rest with his (Mr. Headlam's) de partment. _ _ _ JAMAICA. Major JERVIS asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the officials of the late Legislative Assemblies of Jamaica would receive either pensions or compensations for loss of their offices? Mr. CARDWELL paid ho had been in correspondence with Sir E. Storks on the subject, and he had to say that those officials who were not Ampinyarl kJ.. w arrangement would have their claims considered for com pensation. 1211 2 132 li 52} 1 2 26 5j 1181 17* 161. 92 1271 8 D :021 3 102 IT! ES. POOR LAW INQUIRIES. Colonel HOGG asked the President of the Poor-law Board whether he would lay the report of Mr. Parnell and Dr. Smith on the state of the metropolitan workhouses, when complete, upon the table of the house ? Viscount ENFIELD said the report of Mr. Parnell had been received, but Dr. Smith's had not yet come to hand. Both reports would be presented together without the least delay. REGISTRATION OF DOGS. Mr. BUTLER asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to introduce, during the present session, any measure for the registration of dogs, with a view to the prevention of hydrophobia and of other injuries to person and property for which the owners were not now practi cally responsible. Sir G. GREY said his hon. friend the 'Under Secretary for the Home Department was about to introduce a bill for the regulation of the traffic of the metropolis, and that bill would contain clauses with respect to straying dogs. ENLISTMENT INTO THE ARMY, Colonel H. FANE asked the Secretary for War, with reference to the circular of May 29th, 1866, requiring colonels of militia " to allow volunteering to the line," whether the army w as s till so much below its strength as to require th e " reserve " to be drawn upon ; and, if it be so, whethe r it was th e i ntention of her Majesty's Go vernment to propose any alteration in the Limited Enlist ment Act ? The Marquis of HARTINGTON said the army at pre sent was not below its usual strength, but much in excess of it. The enlistment at the time referred to was rather tardy, and therefore the circular was issued. He had to assure the hon. member that officers of militia regiments invariably gave the greatest assistance in any recruiting that was required for the army. BREECH -LOADERS FOR THE ARMY. In reply to an hon. MEMBER, The Marquis of HARTINGTON said a plan of con verting Enfolds into breech loaders had been decided on, and 20,000 had already been converted. Steps were now going on to facilitate the conversion of 40,000 or 50,000 more, and in about two months an issue of the improved arm would be made. THE BRIBERY INQUIRY. Lord PROBY, the Controller of her Majesty's Househald, r iio m os o e s s, t pgzycifoougsfo3rlatjheosttssualongswoefr atoootmhe_ broughtaddress of f u mission to inquire into th e b r ib er y a t T otnes and other The answer of her M a j es t y was to the effect that places. pbothhe such an inquiry should take place, and commissions would accordingly be appointed for th e p urpose. THE FENIANS IN CAN ADA. In reply to Mr. LOWTHER, Mr. CARDWELL said he had received intelligence of 6,000 Fenians having occupied an offensive position in Canada. He had, however, received a letter from Lord Monck, which stated that he was then occupied in taking steps to meet the emergency ; and he further stated that by the next mail other proceedings would be detailed, which he had no doubt would be perfectly satisfactory. THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON'S LETTER. Sir W. H.UTT asked whether her Majesty' s Govern ment had received f rom Lord Cowley a cof the letter which had been a dd ressed by the Emperor py o of the French to one of his ministers, and which had been read in the Legislative Chamber by M. Rouher, and, if he had re ceived the document, whether he would lay a copy of it on the table of the house. Mr. LAYARD said a copy of the letter had been re ceived. It had been published in the French official jour nal, the Mouiteur, but he could lay a copy of the document on the table because it was merely addressed by the Emperor of the French to one of Ministers, and therefore it would be an unusual course to lay a copy of tho document on the table of the House of Commons (Ilear, hear.) DECLARATION OF WAR BY AUSTRIA. Sir W. HUTT said he had au important question to put to the Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs. It was whether any official infurinationhad been received by her Majesty's Government to the effect that a declaration of war had been made by the Emperor of Austria. Mr. LAYARD in reply said, up to the time of his leaving the Foreign -office that afternoon to attend in his place in Parliament not such information had been re ceived. REFORM BI LL - REDISTRIBUTION OF SEATS . - L. The house then went in ßlL to committee on this bill. The debate was resumed on clause 4, to which an amend ment had been moved to make the £l4 county franchise a rating instead of a rental franchise. Col. LINDSAY supported the amendment, as did also Mr. Du CASE. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE--This Day. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) STOCKBRIDGE MEETING—Tats DAT. HANOVER STAKES.
