POLICE IN TELLIGEN oE—Tbis Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Susrictous CONDUCT. Morris Brown, travelling glazier, residing in Spitalfields, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being found in the house of the Dowager Lady Wen lock, 29, Berkeley-square, for the purpose of committing a felony. Lord Wenlock was in attendance. Elizabeth Amey, in the service of the Dowager Lady Wenlock, said About 2; yesterday afternoon the pri soner rang the area bell. I opened the gate, and asked what he wanted, and he said he had come to mend a window at the top of the house. I asked who had sent him, and he said a woman, but that ho had forgotten her name. Chas. Pullen, also in her ladyship's service, then stepped forward, and :asked the prisoner if he had come from Mr. Naylor's, that being the name of the person doing the repairs, and he said " yes." The prisoner was then allowed to go upstairs. Charles Pullin—On asking the prisoner if he came from Mr. Naylor's, in James-street, Oxford-street, he said "yes." I then allowed the prisoner to bo shown up-stairs. In consequence of something that took place I asked the pri soner why he had stated that he had come from Mr. Naylor's, and he then said that he had not said so, and he was then given into custody. Morris Griffiths, in the service of Lord Wenlock, said—l yesterday afternoon saw the prisoner on the land ing at the top of the house, and asked him his business. Ile said that he wanted to see the lady who lived in the room where he had been mending the window. I then left the prisoner in charge of a carpenter who was at work, while I made inquiries how he got admitted. The previous witness said the prisoner was admitted because he said he came from Mr. Naylor's, and on his asking the prisoner why ho had said so he said ho was a poor man, and that the way he got his living was by going from house to house. In the place whore I saw the prisoner, which was some distance from the room he had been in, there were boxes containing valuable property, and although the prisoner had been in the house half an hour he had not done five minutes' work. Evidence having been given showing that the prisoner was not in Mr. Naylor's employ, Edward Sharrill, 50 C, said—After taking the prisoner into custody I made inquiries, and found that he got his living as a travelling glazier. He said a female had asked him to come in and mend the window, The Prisoner said ho got his living honestly by mend ing windows ; he was not a thief. As soon as he found what a large place he was in he thought there was some mistake, and went to look for the person to get paid for what he had done, when he saw the person (Griffiths). He had been in the country five years, had a wife and family, mind could refer to persons who had employed him. _ He told the person when ho asked him why he said he came from Mr. Naylor's, that he did not say so, but that he came for himself. Mr. Knox —I am going to remand you for a week to have a thorough investigation into your character, and what you have been doing about London. You go to the house, get in by a false representation. You are found to have done but little work, and are found at some distance from the room you were engaged in evidently prowling about, and : then you deny stating what the witnesses swear you did say. It is clear that you simply wanted to make your way into the house, whether with an honest intention or not I cannot say. You can produce next week persons who will speak to your character. Mr. Doulton and the Lambeth Electors, The result of the announcement on the part of Mr. Doulton, last night, that he should vote for the amendment of Earl Grosvenor in opposition to the Government has produced the greatest excitement in Lambeth. This morning the leading men in his constituency, composed principally of small shop keepers and artisans, were induced to believe that when the time came to voce he would be found on the Government side, but thenewspapers this morning set aside the supposition, and a feeling of excitement and opposition has arisen in the borough far exceeding that of a contested election. The chief supporters of ➢lr. Doulton express the greatest dissatisfaction at his determination, and steps are now being taken to hold a monster meeting of the electors and non electors of the borough for the purpose of calling upon the lion. member to resign his seat in Parlia ment immediately. _ . The chances of the bon. gentleman's re-election to Parliament for the borough of Lambeth are alto gether hopeless, and it is said amongst the electors that he would not now get a dozen votes. ELECTION COMMITTEES —This Day. NEW WINDSOR. The proceedings in this committee were commenced to day by the examination of Mr. Adam Murgatroyde, a pub- lican, of Now Windsor, who said two rooms were en gaged in his house prior to the election for committee-rooms for Labouchere and Hoare. He was paid £2O at first, and had since received a cheque for X 25 on account. He supplied a good deal of refreshment to the supporters of Labouchere and Hoare's supporters. Amongst it were three or four dozen of champagne, eight or nine gallons of port, the same quantity of sherry, and as many gallons of beer. There was a good deal of soda and brandy also drank. (Laughter.) He did not take any money for the refreshment. He supposed Labouchere and Hoare would pay, but they had repudiated it. There were about 200 Gr so of the free and independant in and the house during the polling. Mr. Last, the agent for Labouchere and Hoare, had refused to pay the bill for the drink, but he said he would pay a fair sum for the hire of the room. Ho wanted Last to pay for broken windows and property destroyed, but he refused. Ho told Mr. Last that his (witness's) wife was alarmed by the roughs, and she supplied them with beer to keep them quiet. By the Chairman—Ho could not tell who ordered the champagne and sherry on the day of election. The voters said it would be all right, and it was given. The agents for Labouchere and Hoare were in the house, and must have seen the wine supplied. The wine was sent upstairs, but a great many of the roughs had got up there. His house was near the Town-hall, at which the election took place. He did not think that the price he had charged for the refreshments were exorbitant. Another witness, a publican, also admitted that he had supplied refreshments to the supporters of Labouchere and Hoare. One item in the bill was £5O for punch—(laughter) for Sir H. Hoare. NOTTINGHAM. The committee had not announced the nature of the report up to the hour of going to press. MAIDSTONE. A witness named Samuel Day was the first witness examined this morning on the part of the sitting member. lie denied that he had ever bribed or offered a bribe to any of the electors. He took a very active part in the election, but that was solely from principle. Important Decision under the Copyright Works of Art Act, INGRAM V. GECK AND MOIR. (Before Vice-Chancellor Wood, April 19.) This was an injunction bill filed by the proprietor of the Illustrated London News against the defendants, importers of and wholesale dealers in prints and engravings and foreign goods, carrying on their business at 16, Little Trinity-lane, Upper Thames-street, praying that the de fendants might be restrained from selling any copies or colourable imitation of the plaintiff's painting called " The Children in the Wood," from a painting by Mr. C. Lucy, which bad been published and sold with and as part of the Christmas Number of the plaintiff's said paper on the 23d December. Mr. Rolt, Q.C., for the plaintiff, stated that the picture in question and the copyright bad been purchased for pub lication in the Illustrated London News, and duly registered pursuant to the Copyright Works of Art Act, at Stationers Hall; that towards the end of March last the pl a i n tiff' s managers became aware that pirated copies were exten sively circulated and sold in London; and that thereupon inquiries bad been instituted, and the defendants ascer tained to be the importers from Germany and wholesale sellers of such pirated copies, w hereu p on the present suit was instituted. Mr. Boyd, on behalf of the defendants, admitted that he could not struggle against the evidence ; but urged that the defendants had, on the institution of the suit, sent back all the pirated copies in their possession to Germany to the parson from whom they received the same. The Vice-Chancellor expressed his opinion that the plaintiff was entitled to have such copies returned and de livered up to be cancelled. His Honour then decreed a perpetual injunction against the defendants, according to the prayer of tho plaintiff's bill ; and directed an account to be taken of all the pirated copies sold by the defendants, and of the profits made by them, and that they pay such profits to the plaintiff. Alsn an account of the pirated copies in the possession or power of the defendants, and that the defendants deliver up such copies to the plaintiff for cancellation. His Honour also directed the defendants to pay the costs of the suit. Solicitors for plaintiff, Rogerson and Ford, 31, Lincoln's inn-fields ; solicitors for defendants, Blake and Snow North Carolina Manfully Meeting her Difficulties. Virginia and North Carolina have now placed themselves above the suspicion of any design to repudiate their debts contracted prior to the war, and the other Southern States will no doubt follow. The action of Virginia has been already reported. That of North Carolina will be seen by the follow ing copy of the Act : Whereas—lt appears by the estimate of the Pub lic Treasurer, that the debt of the State upon cou pons now due on bonds issued under acts passed prior to the 20th day of May, A.D. 1861, is about the sum of two and a half million of dollars, and that the coupons falling due in the year 1866 will amount to about the sum of $650,000, and that the bonds of the State, due and to become due in the year 1866, amount to the sum of $364,000, making an aggregate sum of $3,514,000 of the public debt, which was contracted before the war, to be pro vided for during the present fiscal year ; therefore, in order to provide means to enable the Public Treasurer to pay said debts— SEC. 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of North Carolina, and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same, That the Public Treasurer be, and he is hereby, authorised and directed to cause to be prepared and to sell bonds of the State to an amount not exceeding the sum of $3,500,000, for the purpose of paying said debt, which bonds shall bear date the Ist day of January, 1866, and to be made payable 34 years thereafter, with coupons bearing six per cent. in terest payable at such places as the Public Trea surer may prescribe ; the said bonds shall be of the denomination of $lOO, $5OO, and $l,OOO, and shall not be disposed of for less than par, and in all other respects shall he issued agreeably to the provisions of the 19th chapter of the Revised Code, and the said bonds and the interest accruing thereon shall be exempt from taxation. SEC. 2. That the bonds of the State which were issued under acts passed prior to the 20th day of May, 1861, and which have already become due, or may become due, before the Ist day of January, A.D. 1867, shall bear interest at the rate of six per cent. per annum, from the time the same shall have or may become due. SEC. 3. That the act shall be in force from its ratification. Ratified the 9th day of March, 1866. WESTMINSTER. •, _ _ PROSECUTION BT THE MARQUIS TOWNSREND.—Andrew Collins, a boy 11 years of age, was charged by tho Marquis Townshend with begging of him on the previous night. The Marquis Townshend said—At a little past 9 last last night the defendant an d another boy were standin g in Milt o n-street, near the Victoria Station. They both begged of me as well as ot her p eo p le. Defendant asked me for a copper, he 'said , to p a y his ni g ht's lodging with. I directed the attention of the police towards them. They ran away together the moment they saw a policeman. I caught the one. Mr. Selfe—What have ycu got to say to this, boy? Boy—l was hungry, father's bad in bed, and mother's got five children. Mr. Selfe—You must not beg. _ _ Boy—One must not starve, and might as well beg; its better than thieving, of course. Mr. Selfo —Oh, what were you going to do with the money given you ? _ _ . _ Boy—l was hungry, and was going to buy something :o ea, Mr. Selfo —You said it was to pay your night's lodging ? Boy—lt wasn't for that. A poor boy mustn't starve, must he, here ? He'd better beg than starve, hadn't he ? Policeman—l found 4id. on this boy. Boy—Yes, I had 4id. The boy's mother here pretended that her son was dragged into mischief by another boy, and merely went out to get halfpence for himself. Mr. Selfe-1 think I have seen you before. Has your husband ever been charged with begging? Mother—Yes he has, and I was charged with him. mr_ -cAlfn—Ypa. you had a boy Mother—We had, your worship. Mr. Selfe—l shall remand the boy for a week, in order to send him to an industrial school. THAMES. THE EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF ABDUCTION—COMMITTAL OF THE PRISONERS.— Christian Olifius, a native of Holland, aged 65, a pickle merchant of Crispin-street, Spitalfields, and lately dwelling in Tudegar-place, Bow, and Ellen Houghton, aged 34, of No. 17, Stafford-row, Tudegar-road, Bow, were brought before Mr. Paget for final examination, charged under the 55th section of the act relating to offences against the person, with the abduction of Miss Elizabeth Telly, under the age of 16, from the custody of her parents. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, again conducted the pro secution ; the prisoners were defended by Mr. Besley, a barrister, who was instructed by Mr. Joseph Smith, of Arbour-square, Stepney, and the Messrs. Gale, of Lime street; and Mr. Stoddart, solicitor, for Houghton alone. Mr. H. Allen, the prosecuting officer of the Associate in stitution for improving and Enforcing Laws for the Pro tection of Women, to which society Mr. Tolly applied, watched the case. _ _ The evidence did not materially add to the facts already published. There was no doubt that the prisoners hail entered into a conspiracy to induce Miss Tolly to leave her home and proceed to Paris, where Olifius was to marry her, and that he had promised to obtain a divorce from his wife, who he said was living away from him. On the other hand, the able cross-examination of Mr. Bosley revealed the fact that the young lady was a willing instrument in the hands of the prisoners. She said it was by her express wish and desire Mrs. Houghton accompanied her to Redhitll, Folkestone, Boulogne, and Paris. She received several letters from Mr. Olifius. None were so affectionate as the letter read yesterday. Mr. Olifius never said any thing improper to her either by letter or word of mouth. He never used an improper word to her. Mr. Becky wished the words "he has never used an indecent or an immodest word to me." Mr. Paget said that Mr. Pyer, the chief clerk, had taken down the words of the witness very correctly, but the words suggested by the learned counsel might be adde d with the words also expressed by the witness, in my opinion. A man of 70 who had sent twice ten thousand kisses to a young lady of 15 had made use of Tory impro- per words. Mr. Besley—He is not 70, ho is 54. Mr. Paget—That don't materially alter the matter. Mr. Charles Young—lie is 65 and bald-headed, and talked about marrying the girl while his wife is living. Inspector lienessey, of the K division, produced kid gloves, white cuffs, and a handsome valentine presented by Olifius to Miss Tolly. Mr. Besley—The flowers on the valentine are forget-me nets, very appropriate. :In answer I to Mr. Stoddart, Miss Telly said that the prisoner did or said nothing to induce her to leave home. The depositions were then read, and Mr. Paget com mitted the prisoners for trial. LIMITED SERVICE IN THE A RMY. —A return was issued yesterday, from which it appears that in the year 1864 there were 8,681 men whose limited term of service had expired. Of these 4,711 were discharged, 3,742 re-en listed, or were re-engaged without being discharged, and '228 after discharge. It also appears that in the same year 2,001 men taking their discharge from the infantry arm of the service were brought home from India at an average cost per man of £26 18s. 11d. for passage money, and of £8 10s. for other charges. Artillery men from the same places seem to have cost £lO 3s. 4d., exclusive of passage money. ABDUCTlON.—Christian Olifus and Ellen Hough ton, who have been several times remanded, were brought up again at the Thames Police-court to answer a charge of abducting a young girl named Elizabeth Tolley. The girl has been brought back to her parents at Bow, and was examined yesterday. She left her parents' house on Good Friday, and two days afterwards went to Paris with thelwoman Houghton, Olifus finding the money. A stupid letter written by the man was read in court. The girl seemed to have made advances to him. The prisoners were remanded until to-day. The death of the Rev. Martin Moore, for many ' years editor of the Boston Recorder, is announced. 1k had reached the ripe age of seventy-six. • • Wesley Norris, a former slave of General Lee, gives the particulars of a punishment inflicted on his sister and himself for endeavouring to escape North in 1865, under the impression that they were emancipated by the will of G. W. Parke Custus, to whose estate General Lee fell heir. His sister and himself were stripped to the waist by a county constable, Mr. Norris receiving 50 lashes and Miss Norris 20.

In this committee Thomas Brown was closely examined as to his receiving .£5 for his vote. Ile admitted receiv ing the money to vote for Mackinnon, but from conscien tous scruples he returned the money and voted, for Mao donall, solely because he had promised to do so. Samuel Leonard, an agricultural labourer and beer shop person named Medhurst, he had keeper, said he knew a p spoken to him about voting for Mackinnon, but he kept his own counsel. Ile received a blue envelope containing a five pound note, around which was wrapped a memor andum as follows :—" Stick to the blues and more will fol low. For grog and tobacco." Blue was Mackinnan's colour, the others wore red and white. The inquiry in each of the above committees had not concluded at the hour of adjournment. Liverpool Cotton Market —This Day. Rather better feeling in the market, and prices in favour of holders. Sales probably 10,000 bales. The Price of Gold. The quotation of gold at Piiris is about 41 per 'Lillie pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.10 per xi sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of Li tie. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 2 -ICtbs per cent. dearer in farts than in London. By adviocs from Hamburg the price of gold is 427 per mark and the short exchange on London is 13.4 per .£1 sttrlin_ Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, at about 2. 10ths per cent. dearer in Hamburg than in London. The oouree of exchange at New York on London tor bills at 60 days' sight is 1061 to 1(61 per cent. At these rates there is no profit on the importadon of gold from the United States. THE REFORM BILL.—As at present arranged, is intended to take the division in the House of Commons on Earl Grosvenor's amendment on the evening of Friday, the 27th. The Government tenders for the Crown bark in the Forest of Dean were opened yesterday at the offices of Woods in Whitehall-place, before the Chief Commissioner, the Hon. J. K. Howard. None of the tenders being up to the office minimum, none of the lots were sold. We understand the offers were a trifle undcr last year's prices, although the localities of the " strip" on this occasion ought to have commanded ss. per ton over the quotations [realised in 1865. A call of £5 per share is announced on the shares of the City Offices Company, payable in two in stalments of £2 10s. on the Ist of June and the Ist of September next, at the Agra and Masterman'a Bank. In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days continued dullness has prevailed. The public sales of tea have been brought to a conclusion, without any material alte ration in prices. Sugars have been in very limited request at barely previous rates, while a moderate demand has been apparent for coffee, at former quotations. Rice continues in fair request, and a large business has been done in tallow, but at re- duced prices for both present and forward delivery, The beautiful plantation of Mrs. Johnston, in Madison county, Mississippi, has been sold to J. B. Richardson, of Boston, Massachusetts, who intends to make it his family residence. The price paid was $50,000 in greenbacks. Before the war this plantation was considered worth $300,000. COST OF BARRACKS, &C., at Hong-KONG.—A return was issued yesterday which shows that, from April 1 to Sept. 30, 1865, £46 13s. 10d. was expended cn fortifi cations, £146 11s. 2d. upon military store buildings, and .£3,194 4s. 2d. upon barracks at Kong-Kong and Kowloon. During the same period £957 Os. was paid for temporary buildings.

About ono o'clock, information was received at the police station that a big black dog, quite mad, had bitten several persons and was likely to 'Jae more. Ono young man showed the police a mark on his leg where the skin had been broken by the animal's teeth. Several officers immediately went in seard of the dog, and found it in Chapel street. It ran into the' shop of Mr. Armitage, greengrocer, and hid under the counter. Turned out of this retreat, it ran into a hose in Brewery-street, where the constables caught it and put it to death.

Pre ident Johnson's Second Veto. It was confidently stated some time ago that the PRESIDENT of the United States had finally deter- mined to veto the Civil Rights Bill. It was inti mated by some that he would approve the general aim of the bill, but would object to some of the details. We are sorry to see, however, that his objections are fundamental. No amendments could _ _ _ secure for it his approval, for he believes that no special legislation by Congress is needed to secure at the South the rights of the blacks, while the sup- porters of the bill hold that legislation is necessary to attain that result. He not only objects to the bill, but he wants no bill. There is therefore no possibility of agreement on the point between the PRESIDENT and the friends of the bill. If this bill is not passed over the veto, none of a similar cha racter can be passed. The friends of the bill are inspired by the belief that the Southern States will not of themselves secure to the blacks the civil rights to which they are, and as free men ought to be, entitled, and that itis the paramount duty of the Federal Government, which claims obedience and allegiance from them, to guarantee to them the enjoyment of those rights. They propose therefore to make them citizens of the United States, and to give them the power to be parties in court, to inherit and purchase and sell property, and to enjoy other civil rights specified in the first section of the bill. It seems to us the solemn duty of the Federa Government to do so much. The PRESIDENT seems afraid to have the blacks made citizens, though he fails to show any evil result which could come from such a step. Is he quite ingenuous when he infers that if the civil rights named in the bill are guaran teed by Congress the political right of voting may . be ? A distinction has constantly been made be tween these two classes of rights, and many who hold that Congress may assure the former to the negro do not think that it can grant the latter. That objection looks a little too much like special pleading, like an appeal to the prejudices of those who are opposed to negro suffrage. He inquires whether the citizens of the Southern States have expressed the conviction that the negroes should be made citizens, and refers to the bill as unprecedented in history. Of course the citizens of the South have not asked for this kind of legislation. If they had shown a disposition to grant to the black 'the rights this bill was intended to secure, then there could have been no necessity for it. It is needed just because they have not the conviction of which the PRESIDENT speaks. The bill is unprecedented because the occasion is new. The emancipation of four millions of men may well call for some new legislation. But it is useless to dwAl on details whin the PRESIDENT'S objection is as well to the whole scope of the bill. It cannot be denied that there is force in some of his legal objections to the machinery which the bill employs. But if amendments should remove those objections, the bill would still fail to command his approval. We doubt whether it can obtain in the Senate the two-thirds vote requisite to pass it over the veto. And if it should become law, the execution of it under these circumstances would be attended with a good deal of trouble in the South.—Anglo-American John P. Ihle, United States Minister at Madrid, has written to prominent members of Congress, urging an increase in his salary, which is now $12,000 in gold. A BRAV.E FELLOW.—On the 28th ult., as Laugh laud, an engine driver of the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada, was driving a freight train down the line, on crossing round the curve two miles west of Cornwall he saw a drunken man sleeping on the track. He immediately whistled " down brakes," which the conductor and brakes man applied as quickly as possible ; but the distance was so short that it was impossible to pull up iu time. Laugh- j land immediately ran out on to the cow-catcher, and as the locomotive came up he stooped forward and seized the man by the neck, and endeavoured to pull him on the cow catcher, but being unable to do so ho jumped off with the man and succeeded in throwing him clear of the train.

NATIONAL BANKS IN AMERICA.— The national banking system has grown to its present enormous dimensions in about two and one half years. in October, 1863, there were only 94 in the United States. By April, 1865, they had i ncrease d i n num ber to 973 ; between April, 1865, and December of the same year, they increased to 1,623. General Prim has taken his departure from Paris for Italy, leaving his wife, the Marquise de casta-- lejos, with his mother. lie is said to have gone to be pre• sent at military manoeuvres about to take place in Italy. Some of the admirers and personal friends of Gen. Sherman, in St. Louis, have recently purchased and furnished a house for him in that city, at a cost of $37,000. WHAT THE ENGLISH M.P.

Ile SHIPBUILDING AT .ABERDEEN.—During the same hour on Tuesday as the Northumberland was tak ing the water, the Messrs. Hall, Aberdeen, launched from their yard the longest, and probably the very finest vessel this fatuous firm of clipper-build celebrity have yet put out of their hands. The new ship is built on the composite Principle, partly wood, partly iron, and the following are her dimensions:—Length, 300 ft.; breadth of beam, 40ft. Gin. ; depth, 23ft. ; with a registered tonnage of 2,300, end burden 3,500. The bowsprit and lower masts of the vasel are iron ; the topmasts, bower, and double topsail yards steel ; While her standing rigging is formed of galvanised wire. The Sobraon, for so this magnificent new ship wit* named as she glided into the water, by Miss Hall, daugh ter of one of the builders, has three complete decks. Th e cabins are on the middle deck, in place of iu the poo l .. the berths, Sce., of the crew occupying the maindeck. The Sobraon is classed 13 years, A 1, on Lloyd's register; is to form one of the Australian fleet of liners owned by Messrs. Gellatly, Hankey, and Sewell, London, and it wilt be commanded by Capt. Swanson, formerly of the Duncan Dunbar. Outwardly the Sobraon is for beauty of outline one of the most handsome yessels ever seen in the Aber deen docks, while inwardly she is being fitted up under the immediate superintendence of her comniander .in.a style rgqi.T.04441104,,...Nctt ttyhitch.occurred Ainring the launch, whichovmAaggs6l.4,l4tevaulsrfdisoiltuenay a r hag lefiatliikratiOt6llo4loo.l46, a y d e -'t°lllaSor ilm Mt Y lur igy's j-totfA for liztflr:,• Mti: Day.
