(Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) JOINT-STOCK BANKS AND DISHONOITRED BILLS.-HALL 17, THE MERCANTILE BANK. This was an action to recover the balance of a deposit account which had been retained by the defendants to meet certain law expenses. It appeared upon a former hearing that the plaintiff had an account at the bank, and he dis counted with them a bill of exchange to be placed to his account. When the bill became due it was dishonoured, and the bank sued both plaintiff and the acceptor. After certain preliminary law expenses had been incurred plain tiff took up the bill and paid the costs as against himself. He left a balance in the hands of the bank, which defen dants applied to the costs against the acceptor of the bill. It was urged that plaintiff was not liable for these costs, but on behalf of the bank Mr. Mathews contended that the bill was now in the possession of the plaintiff, and there fore the bank were not in a position to sue the acceptor. His Honour, to-day, gave judgment—He said, I have looked into the case, and I find that the bank have no right to withhold this money. They can sue the acceptor if they have any claim against him, but they must pay plaintiff the sum he now demands. Mr. Mathews asked if the court would order the bill to be given up to the bank, so that the acceptor might be sued ? His Honour—lt is not necessary. You can sue the ac• ceptor under the 78th Section of the Common Law Pro. cedure Act of 1859. Mr. Mathews had no alternative then but to go on with the first action. His Honour—That may be, but the bank cannot retain this money. Verdict for the plaintiff, with costs. THE ENGLISH LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY AGAIN.—GRIFFITHS V. THE ENGLISH LIFE ASSURANCE AND ADVANCE COMPANY (LIMITED). This was an action to recover the sum of £3 16s. upon a policy of insurance granted by the defendants on Feb. Ist, 1864, payable on the death of W. G. Griffith; plaintiff being described as of 14, Chambers-street, Whitechapel, and defendants as of 75, Little Britain. Plaintiff said- -I claim the money under a policy which I now produce. His Honour—ls the man Griffiths dead ? Plaintiff—He is. His Honour—And you cannot get your money ? Plaintiff—No. I have applied for it, but cannot get my money. His Honour—ls that the company which has been re cently so much before the public ? Plaintiff—lt is ; and I have here a newspaper with the report of the case. His Honour—l suppose the report rather frightened you ? Plaintiff—lt did, and it has frightened a good many others. When I saw the report I began to be afraid that the company meant to' shuffle out of its debts and liabi- His Honour—Well, you will have a verdict for the pre sent claim, though I very much doubt that you will ever get the money. Plaintiff—So do I, sir. The verdict then passed for the plaintiff with costs, all to be paid forthwith. No one appeared for the company, nor was it repre sented in any way. POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF JEWELLERY AT A JEWELLER'S.— Wm. Verzey, described as a blacksmith, and who was convicted a few years ago for being concerned with others in the plate robbery at Lord Foley's, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being concerned w.th others not in custody, in stealing a quantity of watches and jewellery, of the value of .£7OO, the property of Mr. Nathan Woolf Jacobson, jeweller, &c., of No. 312, Oxford-street. Mr. Jacobson said that on returning home on the night of the 24th February last, shortly after 12 o'clock, he found that a robbery had taken place on his premises—the thieves having either entered by the private door or been let in by one of the workmen. The total amount of his loss was about £7oo—the property missing consisting of gold watches and chains, bracelets, diamond rings, and other articles. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Do you reside in the house ? Mr. Jacobson Yes, sir, and there are several other persons residing in the house—about 20. The rob bery must have taken place between 20 minutes to 11 and 20 minutes past. Sergeant Charles Cole, of the C division, said that yes terday afternoon, about five o'clock, he went to the Thir teen Cantons, Soho, and, addressing the prisoner, said, "Bill, I want you, for being concerned with others, not in custody, in stealing a quantity of jewellery, of the value of £7OO, from a jeweller's in Oxford-street," at the same time telling him that I was a police-officer. The prisoner said that he did not know what ho meant, and reluctantly went with him to the station. Police-constable William Loosley, 46 C, said that on the evening of the 24th February, about 10 minutes past 10 o'clock, he saw the prisoner and two other men leave the Duke of York publichouse, in Union-street. He followed them into Oxford-street, when he saw no more of them. Ile had seen the prisoner and the other men about the spot —close to Mr. Jacobson's—nearly every night for a month before, but not at all after the robbery. Sergeant Colo said he should be able, if the prisoner was remanded, to produce a person who saw the prisoner leave the house. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked if the prisoner was known. Sergeant Cole said he had undergone penal servitude for the plate robbery at Lord Foley's, and was shot at while attempting to enter a jeweller and pawnbroker's shop at Brighton. The prisoner (who was roughly attired) said it was not likely, if he had been concerned in such an extensive rob bery, that he would wear the clothes he did, and be with out a lodging. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded him for a week. CONVICTION OF A COAL MERCHANT FOR OVERLOADING ITORSES.-Mr. Wm. Etheridge, coal merchant, of Old Kent road, and John Sayers, a carman in his employ, were yes terday charged, before Mr. Tyrwhitt, by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, the former with having caused two horses to be cruelly tortured, and the latter with having cruelly ill-treated them. Mr. Win. Love, attended to prosecute, and said that cases of overloading horses in the streets of the metropolis were of such frequent occurrence, more particularly among coal merchants, that the society had deemed it right, after having given a general caution to the carman, to proceed against the master as well as the servant. Captain the Hon. F. Charteris and Mr. Augustus Gardi ner, a gentleman residing at Highgate, then gave evidence to the effect that on the 20th ult. they saw Sayers near St. Martin's Church in charge of two horses and a waggon heavily laden with coals—the waggon weighing 22 cwt. and the coals three tons. The horses had come to a stand still, and were in an exhausted state. Sayers was sitting on the box lashing the horses, and continued to flog them in a violent manner for minutes. The witnesses and others remonstrated with him, and he got from his box and tugged and twisted the horses' heads about by the bits to no pur pose. The witnesses then went to the Royal Society to lodge their complaint, and on their return to the place Sayers had got the assistance of other horses, and proceeded on his journey. The horses were poor, old, weak animals, and the roads were in a slippery state, and the load they had to draw was sufficient for four strong horses. After hearing a witness for the defendants, Mr. Tyrwhitt made some strong remarks on the defen dants' conduct, and fined Etheridge 40s. and Sayers 20s. or a month in default. THAMES. A DANGEROUS AND FEROCIOUS DOG.—An elderly man, named Samuel Keeling, who was very lame and with diffi culty reached the witness-box, complained to Mr. Paget that he had been severely bitten by a ferocious dog on board the Spanish ship Mannette. He was the ship-keeper on board the English ship Ellen Rose, and he had occasion to go on shore for some food. He was returning to his own vessel, and to do so was compelled to cross over the deck of the Spanish ship. He had just put one leg over the gunwale when a dog seized it and lacerated it frightfully. The wound had been cauterised, and ho had been under medical treatment ever since. He put in a medical certifi cate, which stated that the hamstrings were severely torn and injured, and that the case was a bad one. Mr. Paget said he could not interfere in the matter. The applicant could bring his action against the captain of the Spanish ship. Applicant—The ship is going away, and unless the cap- Ain is arrested immediately I shall have no redress. Yr. Paget—l am very sorry for you, but I can give no help. Go to the County Court and take out a summons. " I am lamed for life," exclaimed the old man as he left the witness-box, "and I can get no redress." STABBING.—John Emanuel William Brown, a foreign seaman, was charged with stabbing a woman, named Ellen Duke, of 14, Palmer's Folly, Rateliff-highway. There was a disgraceful quarrel last night between the complainant and a woman whom the prisoner called his wife, but who has been his companion only since his arrival on Friday last after a long voyage. The prisoner interfered in the quarrel and beset the complainant. After knocking her down he kicked her and stabbed her on the forehead with some sharp instrument, inflicting a severe wound. The woman lost a good deal of blood, and appeared in court with her head bandaged. Mr. Paget remanded the prisoner. John Donovan, an Irish labourer, was charged with wounding a man who did not appear against him, and with assaulting a police-constable, No. 511 K. The prisoner made a counter charge of ill-usage against the policeman, and also with tearing his coat. The man assaulted by the prisoner in the first instance did not' appear. It was stated that he had been seriously wounded, and that the prisoner had thrown him violently on a kerb stone and cut his head open. The wounded man was carried away disabled and bleeding. Mr. Paget remanded the prisoner. THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLocK. The Great Jewel Robbery in the City, MANSION-HOUSE. -(THIS DAY.) The prisoners David Roberts, Henry Geoffrey, Thomas Casley, Thomas Brewerton, James Hurley, William Brown, alias Scotty, Martha Geoffrey, Anne Casley, Louisa Brewerton, and Ellen Hurley, who are under remand for blirglariously breaking and entering the premises of Mr. Walker, watchmaker and jeweller, Cornhill, and stealing therefrom property to the amount of £6,000, were again placed at the bar before the Lord Mayor. Mr. Lewis, jun., appeared for the prosecution. There was also a second charge against the prisoners for being concerned in a burglary, at the house of Mr. Johnson, a jeweller, in Threadneedle-street. A gentleman, an attorney, who said his name was Webb, said he attended that day to inform his lordship that his premises in the Euston-road were broken open last Christ mas, and property to the amount of £20,000 taken away in an iron safe, weighing 7001 b. or 8001 b. Thepafe was after waids found in Kennington-fields, the inconvertible property was found safe, but that which could be negotiated had been stolen. He had fortunately recovered the safe, but his loss by the robbery had been over £l,OOO. Sergeant Moss said—l am a detective in the City police. I have been engaged since January last, in company with Inspectors Potter and Brennan, to discover the perpetrators of the robbery. On the afternoon of the 24th of February I went to the house of Brewerton, No. 142, Whitechapel road. One of the prisoners (Brewerton) asked that the wit nesses might be ordered out of court, and the Lord Mayor directed them to leave the court. Witness continued—lnspector Brennan and Ranger went through the tea shop adjoining 142, to the rear of the house. Inspector Potter and myself went into the house by the front d oor. W e f oun d th e Geoffreys and the Brewertons. I told them I should apprehend them for being concerned in a great robbery at Cm nhill. I seized Brewerton, and Potter took Geoffrey. They commenced struggling and exclaimed "Who are you?" I then saw the woman Brewerton run upstairs: . I _heard a great noise overhead. By this time I had overpowered Breworton, and having given him in charge to another constable I went upstairs, and found Mrs. Brewerton holding one of the constables by the whiskers. I released Mr. Potter, and then he searched the female and found a number of gold chains in her pocket. They were in five parcels. I pro duce them. Parcel No. 1 contains three brooch chains, two seals, and one key ; No. 2 contains seven alberts, two guard chains, three brooch chains, aiLd one necklet ; No. 3 contains eleven guard chains, eight alberts, one guard, one piece of chain ; No. 4 seven alberts, one guard ; No. 5 six alberts, seven do. in separate paper, four do., two guards, one piece of chain, and some broken gold. I also took some money and bank-notes, and money from her pocket, and a gold swivel chain, a braquet chain, and four jump rings. I heard a noise down stairs, and I there found Brewerton again struggling, evidently for the purpose of creating confusion for the women to get rid of the property. I handcuffed him, and afterwards they were all taken to the police-station. Ranger was left in charge of the housa. I then went with Potter and Brennan to N 0.13, Ely-terrace, Bow-road, the residence of Casley and Geoffrey. Inspector Potter knocked at the door, and Mrs, Casio) , opened the window and looked out. She said what do you want—who are you? Potter told her they were police officers, and told her to open the door. We waited for a few moments and then entered. We wont upstairs, where I saw Mrs, Casley and the male prisoner, Casley pssed from the back-room to the front We told them they were charged with others for breaking and entering the premises of Mr. Walker, Corn hill, and stealing a quantity of jewellery. Inspector Brannan took charge of the two prisoners, and I and Potter went into the room I had seen Casley leave. I there found a large box, which I found to contain a large quantity of watches. I corded it up and the police took charge of it. Superintendent Durkin, I believe, had charge of it. On searching the kitchen I found a bunch of skeleton keys, a jemmy, and a piece of steel. Mr. Lewis—l shall prove that this jemmy corresponds with the marks on the iron safe of Mr. Walker. Witness continued—l found a life-preserver on a bed in the back room. We also found some shawls and black silk, which has been identified. I also found in the box a large number of gold guard Albert chains. All the chains I have been speaking of are gold. I also found some gold coins and money. I also found one £5O-note, £196 10s. in gold in a purse, one £5-note, £l9 in gold, a gold chain, tw• rings, a keeper, and a box ring. A deposit note and other things wore found, but I can't say where. There were 52 gold and one silver watches in the box. I have forwarded a list of the numbers of the watches to Mr. Walker, and he has identified them. The Lord Mayor—The whole of the fifty-two ? Witness—Yes, my lord. Examination continued—l rode in the cab to the station with Casley. Ho said, " You've nearly till Walker's pro perty in the box. Don't hurt my wife. I should plead guilty myself to Walker's. My wife-knows nothing about it." Ho also said, " What robberies aro you going to buff to me? Mind, I was not in the shawl robbery, or John son's. I was not in London at the time of either of them." He said, " The two centre-bits you will find at Ned's (Brewerton) are the things that we used at Walker's and Johnson's." He said, " The gold charms found at my house are from Johnson's. If lam asked to account for them, I shall say I found them on Geoffrey's stairs." The Lord Mayor asked if any of the prisoners had any questions to put to the witness. In answer to the prisoner Casley, Moss said—l was in the cab with Sergeant Potter when you were taken to the station. He must have heard what took place in it. I have made no inquiry relative to the shawls. I have heard no body but yourself say you were in Birmingham at the time of Johnson's robbery. I charged you at Bow-street with being concerned with others in breaking into and entering Mr. Walker s. The charge of robbery at Mr. Johnson's has not been dropped against you. Scotty—You don't know the man, my lord. You don't, know of what he'd be guilty. Casley—They say anything. A thousand pounds is nothing to you, my lord, but it will put the witness into a good shop. (Laughter.) The Lord Mayor—lt appears that the business has put two of your friends into good shops. (Laughter) Casley—l have no objection to this witness's evidence. It is all true except that which is perfectly false. (Laugh ter.) Sergeant Moss—The prisoner Casley is called Counsellor Kelley, and practices at a judge and jury society. I can tell you some more of the conversation I had with your father if you wish it. Casley—Well, no, you needn't do that—you have said quite enough. Inspector Brennan said —I was with Inspector Potter when the house of Brewerton was entered. I took Mrs. Geoffrey in custody. The prisoners were taken to Leman street station. Casley said, "I'm right for Walker's job, but not for any other." I saw Brewerton in Leman-street Police Station. He s a id , "Whatever you find on my wife I gave her; she's innoc en t , and k nows no thi n g about it After the first remand, B rewerton ca lled me to the police cell. He said, "If you will g i ve m y o ld woman £lO, you may kee £4O . I'll say no thi ng a b ou t it. I won't, so help me God." I have compared the marks of the jemmy, and I find it corresponds with the marks on Mr. Walker's safe. In answer to the prisoner Casley, Inspector Brennan said—You told me you had some " twirls." Perhaps I had better explain what they are. Casley—l'll save you the trouble. They are skeleton keys. (Laughter.) person. Casley—What, nothing? „ Inspector Brennan—l did not take anything off my Bremlan—Weil, some imoney. Casley—lsn't money a thing. (Laughter.) If I under stand the evidenco, it appears that nothing has been iden tified as far as I am concerned with respect to either Wal ker's or Johnson's robbery? Brennan—l believe not. • Casley—l shall be able, my lord, to prove a :complete alibi as far as Johnson's and Walker's robbery is contented. I may as well say that the whole of Inspector Brennan's evidence has been the perfect truth. Joseph George Hicks said—l am an engraver, and live in Northampton-square. The prisoner Roberts called upon me about three weeks ago. I have known him as a gentle man for the whole of that time. He brought me a plate of a watch ; it was quite plain. I could not see whether it had been previously engraved. He told me to put the name of Hilton, Wilmington-square, upon it. I took the plate after I had engraved it to a house in Wilderness-row. I left it for him there. I have heard Roberts called "the quaker." I never called him so. The Lord Mayor—Have you ever done any work of the same description for him before? Witness—No, never. Mr. Walker, jun.—l have examined the watches and chains found by the police. I identify them as the property of my father. Many of them bear our private mark. I should think the value of the property I have seen about £1,250. It formed a portion of the property stolen. Mr. Lewis said that was the length he proposed to go to day with respect to Mr. Walker's robbery. He had now to ask that the greater portion of the valuable property iden tified as Mr. Walker's might be given up to him. The Lord Mayor said he did not think it advisable to make any order in the matter. Mr. Lewis—Mr. Walker is greatly inconvenienced by such a large amount of property remaining in the hands of the police. The Lord Mayor—You will want a remand in the case, and by that time I will tell you what I can do in the matter. Mr. Lewis—Very well, my lord. I shall now proceed with the charge of Johnson's robbery. The Lord Mayor—Which of the prisoners do you ex cept in the case you are now about to go into. Mr. Lewis—Roberts and the Brewertons. The Lord Mayor—Then let those persons leave the dock. Walker's case is remanded until this day week. The prisoners Roberts and Brewerton having left the court, Inspector Brennan of the F Division said—On the 24th of January I went to York-place, Constable-alley, Hoxton, and found the prisoner Brown, alias Scotty, and appre hended him on the charge of burglary for which he now stands committed. On searching his trowsers' pocket I found two signet rings ; on the shelf I found a gold watch and chain with key attached. The two rings and watch key have been identified by Mr. Johnson. On the 26th I went to Chandler's shop, No. 23, Golden-lane, kept by a man named Coombs, and received from him the leather bag now produced. In it I found a gold watch, some shirt studs, sleeve links, locket, a pair of ear-rings, &c., all of which have been identified by Mr. Johnson as his pro perty. I afterwards went to the Pitt's Head, Old-street, St. Luke's, and received from a person named Farmer a savings'.ibank book, made out to Mr. Thomas Price, and found therein an entry of £62 2s. 6d., and £3B in gold. I afterwards apprehended Hurley and two of the other pri soners, and him I apprehended him f it being concerned in Johnson's robbery. He said he was right for Johnson's, but knew nothing of Walker's. On the 24th of February I took from the female prisoner Geoffrey a ring belonging to Mr. Johnson. I afterwards went to Casley's resi dence. I told him I was going to apprehend him for being concerned in various extensive jewel robberies. His wife gave him a bunch of charms, and he then gave them up to me. I found on the fingers of his wife a wedding ring and keeper. Casley—Show me the two rings identified by Mr. Johnson. Brennan hero held up a keeper. and wedding ring. I never said to you (Casley), "Jemmy Hurley has blown the gaff. " Scotty—Did you not take the watch you speak of out of my pocket ? Brennan—No, certainly not. I recollect that you made a very desperate effort to strangle me before I could get you to the station. Inspector Brennan then loft the court, when Scotty in stantly said, "My lord, you said the witnesses were not to leave the court. Brennan has just gone to give the other officers the tip." Inspector Brennan immediately returned to the court, but Scotty said, " Ah, it's too late ; he's done it. You don't know how clever he is, my lord. (Laughter.) Casley—Yes, he's quite up to everything. (Laughter.) Constable Ranger—l produce two screw augurs. found them at 142, Whitechapel-road. Geoffrey said the tools were his, as he was a carpenter. I have fitted the small augur into the marks on Mr. Johnson's door, and found it fit exactly. I also found a dark-lanthern and a life-preserver. The skeleton keys were found in the same house by a sergeant of the K Division of police. John Gilby—l live at 26, Mount-street, Whitechapel. I was at work last March in Mr. Johnson's premises, re pairing some locks. I saw Scotty there. Witness was here asked to point him out, when he pointed out Casley, and then Brewerton. The witness seemed very undecided in his answers. Mr. Lewis said he thought he had better withdraw the evidence of the witness. Casley—l think I've a right to ask him a question before he goes.—Why did you not identify me yesterday in Newgate. Witness—l said I thought I had seen your face before. Casley—l've seen Mr. Walker's face before, but that is no reason why I should commit the. robbery. Go down, you'd swear any man's life away. James Wicks said—l reside at Hale-street, New North- Road. I know the prisoner Scotty. I called at his house, 7, Cambridge-street, Hackney-road, in July last. I went into his room. I saw a quantity of jewellery on the table. I saw a diamond brooch there. He afterwards called upon me, and offered some jewellery for sale, and I purchased two pairs of earrings. I gave him 10s. for one pair, and £2 for the other. One pair I kept, and the other I sold then to a person named Bennett. I used to have a beer-shop, and as he came in and out I became acquainted with him. I never knew him to be en gaged in any particular trade. The earrings (produced) are those I purchased. Mr. Lewis—The cost price of the two pairs would be between £6 and £7. Witness continued—Scotty afterwards called upon me to put a stone in a pearl cross. I could not do it, and I gave it him back. It was about an inch and a quarter in length. I don't keep a beer shop now. I have worked as a watch-balance maker all my life. I follow that trade still. I have known Scotty for about five years. Wm. B. Bennett—l keep the Lord Wellington, Univer sity-street, Tottenham-court-road. I bought the earrings of the last witness some time ago for £2 10s. I gave them to Mr. Johnson this morning. Stephen Brown, of Liverpool-road—l know the prisoner Scotty. He on one occasion, between July and August, brought me some jewellery to purchase. I told him we did not want anything, and therefore I did not look particularly at it. One of the articles seemed to me to bo a mourning brooch. Some time after this he brought me some money to mind (about £2O). He came the next morning and.took it away. I afterwards brought a pair of earrings for ss, I did not know that they were worth £2. I thought they wore not good ones, so I did not give them away. They have never been used. Mrs. Charlotte Dear—My husband kept the Globe pub lichouse, Borough-road. I purchased three duplicates of the female prisoner Hurley for a pair of earrings and two brooches. One was pawned in the Borough-road, and the others in the Whitechapel-road. I redeemed tite article. I have since given them to Inspector Potter. I gave 13s. for the duplicates, and the property was pledged for £2 4s. Mr. Johnson then identified the property produced, and said the earrings sold for ss. were worth £4 ss. He further stated that the property he had just identified was worth about £4O, and that was all that had been recovered out of the stock he had been robbed of, which amounted to £4,000. Casley—Do you swear to the wedding-ring ? • Mr. Johnson—l do. Casley—Was it the only ono made for you ? Mr. Johnson—l swear that it is my property :it is pecu liarly heavy for a wedding-ring. Casley—l can prove I purchased the ring in Bishopsgate street. Mr. Johnson—With respect to the mourning-ring taken from the prisoner Casley I can swear to it, from the fact that I have had it in stock these seven years. Application was then made to admit the married females to bail. The Lord Mayor—l shall not allow any of the prisoners to bail. The further hearing of the case was adjourned till Tues day next. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS--Tuis EVENING. The Lonn CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woJisack at he usual hour. The School for the indigent Blind Act Amendment Bill was read a second time. THE CASE OF MR. EDMUNDS. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he felt he should make a statement of all he knew of the matter respect ing the resignation of Mr. Edmunds, as Reading Clerk to the House of Lords. He stated that Mr. Edmunds had held the office of Clerk of the Patents, an_office with a salary of £4OO a year, created by a statute in the year 1833. Since then, in the year 1852, a new office had been created for certain patents—the office of Clerk to the Com mission of Patents with a salary of £6OO a-year. This it was deemed right, and for several reasons to give to Mr. Edmunds. The obligation is thrown upon the clerk of the patents to pay all the fees he receives by virtue of his office into the Exchequer. In 1864 it was found great confusion had arisen in the Patent-office. Many complaints were brought to the noble lord touching these complaints, and Mr. Edmunds was one of the first to demand the inquiry which followed. The report made by the committee of inquiry stated that Mr. Edmunds had received and misapplied public moneys which had come into his hands, as Clerk of the Patents, to the extent of £2,681. Since that Mr. Edmonds paid in the sum of £7,872, notwithstanding the committee had reported that he was a defaulter only to the extent of £2,681; and accordingly further inquiry was made in January this year, and the commissioner stated that Mr. Edmunds was still further indebted in the sum of £9,100. Mr. Edmunds has not yet made his answer to that report. The noble lord first took, the opinion of the Government upon the question whether he should lay the matter before their lordships. The Government was of opinion that he should ; and he therefore in tended to lay the report and Mr. Edmunds's reply upon the table of the house ; and to move for a committee of inquiry into the subject ; and to advise the house as to the course it would be proper to take upon that information. But Mr. Edmunds made to him an earnest request that he should not make that com munication for a few days longer until he (Mr. Edmunds) had received some communications from abroad. At that earnest request he postponed the communication for four or five days. Then Mr. Edmunds sent in a petition praying to be permitted to resign, and also stating that as he had been a servant of the country for eighteen years, ho hoped he should have granted to him the usual pension of £BOO a year. The resignation was, therefore, laid before their lordships and accepted. The matter was laid before the committee, and it was a ques tion for his lordship to consider if he should pursue Mr. Edmunds before the committee. As the inquiry had not fully come to an end, he could net bring his mind to pursue Mr. Edmunds. The law officers were of opinion that there was no t groun d f or cr i m i nal proceedings . If should be found in the end that Mr. Edwards is still a defaulter, the pension is liable to be taken and will be taken, in satisfaction of the debt. The noble lord concluded: It was necessary that tho lesser office, that of clerk of the patents, with a salary of £4OO a year, should be immediat e ly fill e d u p. Th e p a t ronage was with the Prime Minister, but on my advice the Prime Minister presented the appointment to a relation of my own. The other office, that of Clerk of Commission of Patents, in the Lord Chancellor's patronage, it was not ne cesssary to fill immediately, and it will not be filled until the matter is settled. The noble lord moved that a com mission of their lordships be appointed to inquire into the whole matter. The Earl of DERBY rose, and was [LEFT SPEAKING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS—TiIIs EVENING.

THE MALT TAX. Several petitions from different parts of the country, and from every class of society, were presented in favour of a reduction of the duty on malt, or its entire repeal. The presentation of petitions for this purpose occupied the greater part of the time of the house this afternoon. PUBLIC-HOUSES CLOSING ACT. Mr. LAWSON moved for a return of the Town Councils and Boards of Commissioners which have adopted the Public-houses Closing of 1864, with the date of its adop tion, and the population under the operation of the Act in each municipality and district. BRAZIL. Mr. WHITE gave notice that this day week ho would ask a question in reference to the affairs of Brazil. QUESTIONS. The only question on the paper for this evening was one by Sir H. Bruce in reference to Ireland, and this was post poned, the Chief Secretary for Ireland being absent. REPEAL Of THE MALT-TAX. Sir F. KELLY rose to draw the attention of the:house to this subject embodied in the formal motion, which was in the following terms :—" That in any future remission of indirect taxation this house should take into consideration the duty on malt, with a view to its early reduction and ultimate repeal." The right hon. and learned member said that people who considered themselves competent autho rities upon certain matters found out their mistake, and he believed tho present question was one that would be satis factorily answered.

The Board of Trade have published ;the returns of the trade and navigation of the United Kingdrm for the month of January in the present year, from which it appears that the total amount of the ex ports for that period amounted to £lO 489 ' 339 against £10,413,586 i n the same period of 1864, and showing an increase of £75,753. The chief in crease has been on beer and ale, cotton manufac tures, earthenware, hardwares and cutlery, linen manufactures, thrown silk, and sheep and lambs' wool, while there is a decrease on coals and calico, cotton yarn, haberdashery and millinery, linen yarn, silk manufactures, and woollen and worsted manufactures. The imports of the principal articles for the month have been larger as regards live animals, raw cotton, pro , visions, rice, rum, cocoa, and unrefined sugar ; but smaller in flax, tallow, sheep and lambs' wool, coffee, wheat, flour, brandy, tea, tobacco, and wine. The shipping accounts exhibit a decrease of 18,275 tons on the amount of tonnage employed in the Foreign trade for the entries inwards, and of 10,848 tons for the clearances outwards. In the coasting trade, fo ade r , h owev er, there is an increase of 256,796 tons for the entries inwards, but a decrease of 3,613 tons for the clearances outwards. EXTRAORDINARY BIRTH AT WHITEHAVEN.—O n the 23d ult. the wife of Christopher Tatters, miner, New Houses, Whitehaven, was safely delivered of three children, two sons and a daughter. All three were alive when they were born, but they have, since died. What makes the birth more remarkable is the circumstance that the same person, now the mother of 13, was at her last confinement (on the 16th January, 1864) delivered of twins, both of whom also died. The poor woman has thus had five children in 13 months.—Wkitehaven News, Feb. 28. FOURTH EDITIOiNT SUN OFFICE, HALF -PAST 7 O'CLOCK , SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. LIVERPOOL RACES —Tins DAY.

The report of the directors stated that the line was opened for traffic in September last. The railway since its opening had been worked by Messrs. Watson and Over end, the contractor; but at a considerable disadvantage owing to the great difficulty of obtaining a sufficient num ber of engines, though with an abundant supply of rolling stock ; nevertheless the traffic had been of so satisfactory a character as to warrant the conclusion 'that when deve loped it would be remunerative. The directors had intro duced two bills into Parliament this session for the exten sion of the line ; the one to join the Central Wales Rail way, and the other to join the Manchester and Milford Railway. The capital account showed that £924,992 had been expended, leaving a balance of £1,182. MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND LINCOLN- SHIRE. The total expenses of this and of the South Yorkshire Company's railways, including rents, tolls, duty, &c., from January 1 to February 26, amounted to £64,647 , as agains £62,851 for the corresponding period of 1864 . The pro-. portion of the South Junction receipts accruing to the company, from January 1 to February 26, amounted to £5,228, as against £5,185 for the corresponding p er i o d . 1864, and the expenses to £2,668, as against £2,624. RAILWAY BILLS. Yesterday the committees on railway and other bills commenced their sittings. The first committee, consisting of Mr. Scourfield, chairman, Mr. Shaw-Lefevre, Viscount Holmesdale, and Mr. Onslow, had referred to them a group of 15 railways intended for the accommodation of the Eastern Counties districts. They proceeded to consider first the bill for the Colne Valley and Halstead. Mr. Deni son, Q.C., appeared for the promoters, who sought to be enabled to run over and have station services on the neigh bouring portions of the Great Eastern,to interchange traffic facilities with them, and to raise £40,000 by shares and £13,000 by loan. The committee, without hearing the case for the opposition, threw out the bill. Mr. Ingham, chair man, Mr. H. G. Langton, Mr. D. Fortescue, and Mr. Law son met to consider bills connected with the counties of Kent in Sussex. The proceedings were delayed an hour in consequence of the report of the referees who inquired into the merits of the bill last week not being forthcoming, Mr. Millward, Q.C., and Mr. Johnson then opened the case for the promoters, Mr. Merewether, Q.C., opposing for the Brighton Company, and Mr. Burke, Mr. Phinn, and Mr. Clerk for the South-Western and landowner; the evidence adduced being the same as that elicited before the referees and the committee. Another court of referees, now making two, commenced its inquiry yesterday, Mr. Hassard in the chair. Mr. Round stated the ease for the Great Eastern Company's line from Somersham to Ramsey, to enable the Great Eastern to make a line of seven miles from a junction with their St. lye's and March line at Somersham to a junction with the Ram sey Railway, to raise £52,000 by shares, and £17,330 by loan. The opposition of the Great Northern Railway and Middle Level Commissioners having been withdrawn, the bill will be referred to the Select Committee. The ease of the Bedford, Northampton, and Weedon for a railway of 31 miles between those points, and to raise £500,000 in shares and £166,000 loan, was opened by Mr. Cripps, Mr. Round opposing for the London and North-Western, and Mr. Staveley Hill for the Northampton and Banbury Railway ; Mr. Liddell, C.E., was examined for the bill, and Mr. Burke against it, and the referees adjourned. The bill for the Deal and Dover was opened by Mr, Somerset fora railway from the London, Chatham, and Dover at Buckland to Deal, near the South-Eastern, to raise £150,000 and X. 50,000 loan. Mr. Sergeant Atkinson opposed for the Dover, Deal, and Sandwich, on the ground of competition, and the referees will report thereon, as well as upon the Crofthead and Kil marnock Extension Railway. The opposition to the London and South-Western Company's Torrington Extension Bill was withdrawn. In the Court over which Mr. Dodson, Chairman of Ways and Means, presides, the opposition to the bills of the Mary port and Carlisle and Whitehaven Junction and Cocker mouth and Workington being withdrawn, the Committee. after hearing evidence and the arguments of counsel, agreed to report them, together with the bills for the London and South-Western (additional powers) and Mellis and Eye Railway. The Great Robberies in the City. Yesterday, at 1 o'clock, a man named Frederick William Wilkinson, otherwise Erskine, but better known among his acquaintances and to some of the police by a sobriquet, was placed before the Lord Mayor, at the Justice-room of the Mansion-house, on the charge of being concerned in break ing and entering the shop of Mr. Johnson, jeweller, in Threadneedle-street, on the 4th of July last, and stealing jewelry of the value in all of about £4,000. Mr. Lewis, jun., of Ely-place, conducted the examina• tiod, which he prefaced by a brief statement of the cir cumstances under which the prisoner had been arrested, as they were afterwards proved in evidence, James Brennan, an inspector of the F division of metro politan police, Bow-street station, whomhe called, deposed that at 7 o'clock on Saturday evening, in company with In spector Potter, of the G division, City Detective-sergeant Moss, and Police-constable Rayner, he went to the first floor front room of the house No. 10, Tabernacle-walk, Finsbury-square, and saw the prisoner sitting in a chair by the fire. Calling him by the name of " Fred," by which ho was known, he said they had come to apprehend him for being concerned with others who were in custody in seve ral robberies of jewelry in the city, and more especially one at the shop of Mr. Johnson in Threadneedle-street. The prisoner replied that he knew nothing about them, and that he had done nothing of the kind for the last ten months. Witness searched him and found in his possession a silver Geneva watch, a gold Albert chain with a locket attached, a pin, and signet ring, all of which he was wearing. H o knew the prisoner by the name of " Carroty Fred," and also as Frederick Erskine. On this occasion he gave the namo of Wilkinson. Sergeant Moss said ho had found what purported to be the prisoner's marriage certificate, from which it appeared ;hat his name was William Wilkinson. Tho prisoner declined to ask inspector Brennan a ques tion, denying all knowledge of the matter. Sergeant Moss said h e accompan i ed the previous witness when od e l nthgeinEl/ 2 p g risoner was appreh en d e d, an d a ft erwar d s searc h e d where he found two bankers' pass-books in the of n the London name Lon of F. H. C. R. Erskine. (A laugh.) Mr. Lewis—A high-sounding name, certainly. What else did you find ? Witness said ho found in one of the banker's books the entry of a deposit of £5O under the date of the 14th of November last. He also found five keys, some of which had been filed and altered, three metal chains, two rings, a brooch, and 13 duplicates, one of which related to a silver watch, another to a pin, and the rest to wearing apparel. The prisoner said he was an agent, and on being asked for whom, he replied for himself. were was he l kept a littleiving recently in Fryer-street, Blackfriars -road, cigar shop. Mr. Lewis, upon that evidence, - asked to have the priso.. ner remanded, in order that he might be brought up with the rest of the ten prisoners now in custody. t o u him, sin and as show which ti t hv how ea sk nowe y_ ho The Lord Mayor ac ceded to the a pp lication, and the e prisoner was remand ed accordin g l y . The prisoner asked on what grounds he was remanded. He did not think there was an y evidence to justify his detention. j.yorethteh H o s ee articlesc o o f u l l o d fco p k sirmo of df u ut c ph e tTe m y e upon witnesses m e living, as he could prove by a locksmith. The Lord Mayor told him he might urge those points on another occasion. He should not let him go. The prisoner was then removed. The diver has now recovered 12 watches in all from the bed of the Thames, at the place near the temporary bridge at Blackfriars where he has been at work for the last week, all which have been identified by Mr. Walker as part of the property stolen from his premises. For the present the operation, which cost at the rate of about £25 a week, has been discontinued, in the belief that no more of the missing property is to be found there.
