The -staff leaves to-day, and Prince Frederick Charles to-morrow evening, for the head-quarters of the Prussian army in Silesia. LAW INT COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. vENING V. WILLEY. ' This was an action for false imprisonment, to which the defendant now pleaded not guilty according to statute. Mr. Ribton was for the plaintiff, and Sergeant Robinson for the defendant. It appeared that the plaintiff was a journeyman baker and the defendant a master baker, living at Cirencester street, Harrow-road, and that the parties had for some years been acquainted, but at the date of the occurrence were not on friendly terms. A person named Smith had been left by the defendant in charge at his business on the 24th of October, 1864, and engaged the plaintiff to assist him. The facts wore developed in the following evidence. James Vening said that he was a journeyman baker and lived in the neighbourhood of Lisson-grove. On the 24th October, 1864, he was out of work, and about one o'clock that morning Smith came to him and asked his assistinco at the bakehouse of the defendant. He worked there until about 7 o'clock in the morning, when the defendant came in and told him that he might go. He then asked witness what his wages were, and he replied 3s. Gd. and a loaf. He said he would only give him 3s. Gd., and defendant said he might take a loaf. The defendant at the time was not sober. He went upstairs, and the defendant followed him and began to abuse him, and said, 61 1 shall not give a loaf now." He worked with him about six years ago, and de fendant accused him of losing him his situation. He said he would have the loaf, and took it away. About 12 o'clock he came to his place with a policeman and accused him of stealing a loaf of bread. He then went with him to the station-house, but the inspector refused to take the charge unless he had additional evidence. The defendant went back and brought the shopman, and the charge was taken. He was locked up all night and was taken before the magistrate, but the charge was dismissed. Thomas Durkin, a police-constable, deposed to having taken the defendant into custody on the charge of the plaintiff, and carroborated the statement of the plaintiff as to what occurred at the station-house. Mr. Sergeant Robinson contended that the plaintiff was out of court, inasmuch as the act required that he should commence an action of this description within six months after the alleged offence. Mr. Robinson said that his client was too poor to pay an attorney, and argued that the statute did not apply to this case. His Lordship said he would reserve the point. Some evidence was then given for the defence. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, 40s. damages. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before Sir J. P. Wilde and a Special Jury.) RYVES AND RYVES V. THE ATTORNEY GENERAL. The hearing of this extraordinary case was resumed .his morning. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. As INCORRIGIBLE WlFE.—Mary Ann Barber was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being drunk, and assaulting Robert Barber, of 10, Meand's-court, Soho, her husband, and also with breaking some panes of glass. Mr. G. Dillon Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street,' ap peared for the complainant, and said the complainant had been separated from his wife about eight years ago, in consequence of her violent conduct and intemperate habits, and since that time he had trade her a weekly allowance. Yesterday evening she came to his house in a drunken state, and demanded money, threatening to enforce her demands by an onslaught on the windows should her hus band fail to comply. The complainant declined to be in timidated, and she then broke one of the windows. He went in search of a constable, when the defendant and a drunken companion seized him and violently assaulted him. A constable coming up, defendant was given into custody. The complainant and a constable having given evidence, Mr. Tyrwhitt ordered her to find a £lO bail for three months. She was locked up in default. MARKETS.—This Day. MARK-LANE. Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of home grown wheat were very moderate. Most samples were received in tolerable good condition, but the trade was generally slow at Monday's currency. The market was moderatelysupplied with foreign wheat. The amount of business transacted was limited; neverthe less prices ruled firm. Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly, but at fu . quotations. The supply of English barley on sale was small, but there was a good show of foreign produce on the stands. The barley trade ruled quiet at late rates. Malt sold slowly at Monday's currency. The supply of oats on sale was tolerably large. The de mand for all qualities was in a sluggish state at barely late prices. Beans and peas were steady at full quotations. There was a fair demand for flour at late rates. 81111" ARRIVALS THIS WEEK.

Stevens, in King stree; and it may be consolatory to the spirit of the mighty hunter to know that the skins, tusk; and bones which have so long kept company together are not now dis persed. They have passed, in fact, into the possession of another mighty hunter, though of a different game, and have been; knocked down to the equally intrepid and no less renowned P. T. Barnum, of New York, in the United States of America and elsewhere. At the sale which took place on Saturday last, Mr. Barnum's agent; Messrs. Wells and Nimmo, silenced all opposition by the decided charac ter of their bidding; and secured not only the grand pano rama, which brought so vividly before the spectator the scenes and adventures through which the traveller passed, but all the great gems of the collection. A largo skull of an elephant and the great ivory tusks realised 100 guineas, while lions' skulls and other osteological specimens pro duced large sums. The skins wore secured in a lot for Mr. Barnum, who since the destruction of his museum at New York has, we are told, despatched agents to the lat termost ends of the earth to secure attractions for tile new collection he is about to submit to the n otice of a discrimi nating public. THE SUPPOSED 6 4 WELCHERS" AT EPSOM. --Yes terday at the Surrey Sessions, before Mr. Thomas 'Pilsen, deputy-chairman, Thomas Hodson, of Holbeck, near Leeds, a commercial traveller, of highly -respectable appearance, surrendered to take his trial for stealing the sum of £7 Os. 6d. from the person of James Hartley, other wise Hargreaves, a betting man and alleged " welcher," on the Derby-day, on Epsom racecourse. The circum stances have been repeatedly made known, and must there fore bo familiar to all who take an interest in the case. The evidence clearly proved that the prosecutor was set upon and ill-treated, and that his pockets were rifled by men who imagined that Hartley did not intend to pay the bets he had made. In the prisoner's hand were found a con siderable amount which he had helped himself to during the onslaught. Evidence to character was given, and the jury, after consulting for about 20 minutes, returned a verdict of guilty, at the same time recommending him to the mercy of the court. The deputy-chairman said that the court could not take the part of the betting men or any of those concerned in that illegal act, but if a man's book was taken from him as the prosecutor's was, how was ho to know whom ho had to settle with. The court was ex ceedingly sorry to see so respectable a person in such a position, but perhaps ho thought he was entitled to use Lynch law on the racecourse. He had no right to do that, as the law of the country was open to him as well as any other of the public. Under all the circumstances he should not inflict a severe punishment on him, but sentence him to one mouth's imprisonment, without hard labour, in the county gaol. The prisoner, who seemed to feel his posi tion deeply, was then removed to the cells below. The directors of the Madras Irrigation and Canal Company have issued their half-yearly report, and also a statement respecting the proposed loan of £OOO,OOO by the Secretary of State in Council to the company for the prosecution of their works, and an alternative to purchase the undertakin 14 , I SPOBTI: Cannon) Capt.

The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. . On tho motion that the Holderness Embankment and Reclamation Bill be read a second time, a discussion en-- sued, in the course of which it was movod by Mr. Non-- WOOD that the bill be read a second time that day six months. The house divided, when there appeared For the second reading 94 Against it Majority a REAL ESTATE INTESTACY BILL. Mr. LOCKE KING moved the second reading of this bill, the object of which was to assimilate the law with respect to real and personal property, in order to esta blish a more just arrangement in cases where parsons died possessed of land and house property without having made a will, or there being any settlement. In the case of a man possessed of personal property dying without a will, one half went to the widow in the event of there being no children, the other half went to the next of kin ; an arrangement that was perfectly fair. With respect to real property the case was different - a person dying possessed of real property without a will and without settle ment, the whole of the property went to the heir at law, the widow and younger children getting nothing. It mightbe said that the widow had her thirds, but what was that—it was the third of the income and not the third of the property itself ; and as an instance he should like to know what the third of the income from a cottage value £3OO could be. (Hear, hear.) The bill now before the house was not an act to abolish the law of primogeni ture, and he was much surprised that such an assertion should be made ; in fact there was no law of that kind in existence. He regretted the bill was to be opposed, but hoped he should succeed in getting the assent of Parlia ment to the measure. Mr. B. HOPE moved as an amendment that the bill be read a second time that day six months. He quoted in support of his amendment the opinions of Sir. G. C. Lewis and Lord Palmerston, both of which were adverse to the bill. When the bill was last before the house it was re jected, the numbers in the division being, in favour 76, against 291, and that fact he should have thought would have been quite sufficient to prevent the reintroduction of the bill. He could not assent to the opinion laid down by the hon. gentleman that there was no law of primogeni ture ; on the contrary, he contended that the law by which the land of a person dying intestate went to his eldest son was a law of primogeniture, although he admitted that it was of the same description as existed 500 years ago. The law with respect to landed property he thought per fectly efficient, and therefore he moved the amendment in in order to defeat the object of the lion. gentleman op posite. Mr. GOLDNEY seconded the amendment. He thought that as the bill was of so extensive a nature, that if it was at all necessary it ought to have been introduced to the house by the Government, and not loft to a private member. He contended that it was au attempt to alter the whole law of the land by a sidewind. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL thought the injustice of the law as it at present stood has yet to be established. It was his opinion that the law of England with respect to the disposal of land was good, and far to be preferred to that of other countries. (Hear, hear.) He did not see any injustice in the law as it at present existed with re spect to younger sons, because they now entered into com mercial pursuits in order to make their own fortunes, and thus they were getting rid of those absurd restric- tions which had prevented many a man born in an aristocratic family engaging in trade. If the estate was to be encumbered, with provisions for all younger sons, the result would be far from desirable. Such a system would increase Chancery suits, increase bills of costs, and lead to anything but a desirable result. He was quite content with the law as it stood, and, there fore, he could not support the motion for the second reading. Mr. BRIGHT said the Attorney-General had favoured the house with a speech, which it had heard many times before, but he must say that he (Mr. Bright) lived in hope of hearing him make a speech exactly contradictory— (hear, hear)—and that circumstance he thought highly probable. (Laughter.) if tie law was not unjust to real property, why not extend it to personal property, and what objection could he have to such an arrangement if he really believed what he said ? (Hear, hear.) Why, such an extension of the law, if made, would not be allowed to exist a mouth. The law gave every man the right to make a will or not ; and if a man thought proper to avail himself of the option not to make one, the State then came in to do that for him which he had not done himself. (Hear, hoar.) In the case of a will being made it was but natural to expect that all the children would be treated with some show of affection, and that the property would be fairly divided amongst them. (Hoar, hoar.) But in the Mr. WHITESIDE thought that he had expressed him self in a very foolish manner. Mr. E. JAMES` supported the bill, which he s a id s not brought forward to ruin the aristocracy, to undermine the House of Peers, or to destroy the landed interest, but merely to extend that which was just and right in cases where personal property was concerned to real property. Lord J. MANNERS bagged to ask the hon. gentleman who introduced the bill a question, and it was whether, • .. in the case of the death intestate of the owner of a palace or hall, it must not be sold by auction. Mr. L. KING had no doubt that would be the case, but the' bill could not effect great landed estates, all of which were in settlement. • After a short discussion, in which Mr. EWART, Sir J. WALSH, and Mr. BARROW took part, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he did not think that it would be respectful to the house if he allowed the bill to proceed to a division without shortly expressing his opinion on the subject. He was not aware of sufficient reasons for passing such a bill as that before the house, and therefore he should give his vote against the second reading. The house then divided— For the second reeding ..................... 84 Againstit ...................................... 281 Majority ...... The bill was c onsequent l y lost. . FELLOWS OF COLLEGES DECLARATION BILL. Mr. BOUVERIE moved the third reading of this bill. Mr. G. HARDY opposed the motion, and moved the rejection of the bill, which he said proposed to admit dissenters from tho Church of Englani to the teaching and emoluments of the Colleges at Oxford and Cambridge. He did not believe in mixed religious teaching, and no instance could be pointed out where such had been carried out with success. Mr. POWELL seconded the amendment. Mr. FAWCETT supported and Mr. C. BENTINCX opposed the bill. The latter gentleman was speaking at a quarter to 6, at which hour, according to the orders of the house, the debate terminated. The resumption of it was fixed for the Ist of July. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and :he house adjourned. HOUSE OF LORDS.-LAST EVENING. The Public Schools Bill passed through committee. The LORD CHANCELLOR read a message from the Queen announcing the approaching marriage of the Prin cess Mary of Cambridge with the Austrian Prince Teck, and requesting their lordships to concur with the House of Commons in making further provision for her Royal ighness. The Pensions Bill was passed through committee. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—LAST EVENING. MEDICAL OFFICERS (IRELAND.) Mr. M'EVOY moved a resolution in favour of adopting the recommendations of tho select committee of 1858, to the effect that Government should take into consideration the claims of Ireland to a grant of the half -cost of medi cal officers of unions, with a view of providing for the same in future, as is now the practice in England and Scotland. The proposal having been seconded by Mr. P. DAW SON, The CHANCELOR of the EXCHEQUER said he was prepared to accede to the principle of the motion after an inquiry had been made with the view of ensuring an effi cient state control, and suggested that under these circum stances the motion had better be withdrawn. Some discussion followed, in which several Irish mem bers took part, and ultimately the motion was withdrawn. Mr. B. COCHRA.NE moved an address for the issue of a Royal Commission to inquire into the constitution of the Metropolitan Board of Works, the Office of Public Works, and the Office of Woods and Forests, with the object of seeing whether some means might not be devised by which the improvements of the metropolis may be carried'out in a more comprehensive and economical manner, and with greater unity of purpose. The hon. member enumerated the various defects which marked the local government of the metropolis, especially the state of the street traffic, and suggested, as the best and most effectual means of provid ing a remedy, the amalgamation of the three departments mentioned in his motion, and the appointment of a chief secretary, with two under secretaries, to carry out the works now intrusted to those boards. Mr. -AYRTON opposed the motion, which, he argued, rather moved backwards than forwards. A committee of the house appointed a few years ago reported that the Crown estates should be held in the hands of one officer and the public works in connection with the metropolis and the public buildings placed under the charge of another. This arrangement was sanctioned by the house and subsequently embodied in an act of Parliament. Later another committee had reconsidered the question, and the result of their inquiries was that the house adhered to their previous resolution, and the two departments had been kept separate over Since. Moreover, a third committee had been appointed in the present session to examine the matter, and it would be a slur upon them to interpose with another course of action in the form of a Royal commis sion. Sir W. JOLIFFE was glad Mr. Cochrane had drawn attention to this subject, and although he was not sure that legislation was necessary, he thought that some uni form system for regulating the traffic of the metropolis might, with the concurrence and approval of the commis sioners of police, be adopted with advantage. Mr. COWPER objected to the motion, because it was inopportune and impracticable. An inquiry into the state of the local government of the metropolis was necessary, and it was at that moment being conducted by a select committee. It would not therefore be respectful either to the committee or to the house to appoint a Royal commis sion practically to supersede that inquiry. The whole difficulty connected with the question was this, that although London had municipal institutions, those institutions had been confined to the very small circle which constituted the City proper, whilst the rest of _the metropolitan districts were governed like country parishes, by means of a vestry.

THE ROBBERY BY A MAJOR'S SON .—At the Mid dlesex Sessions, this afternoon, James Hamilton Finney, the son of Major Pinney, who was found guilty on charge of stealing a silver spoon from the Albion Hotel, was brought up for sentence, but it was again postyoned till next session. case of the man dying without having made a will, the State came in to do it for him, and how was it done ? Why, everything was given to one, and all the rest were left dependent on their own exertions. He did not consider such an arrangement at all just or equitable, and he, for one, had abstainid judgin g o f a man ' s li fe until he had read his will, because in many instances the last act of a man's life was acrime of his being. (Hear, hear.) With respect.to the opinion of the Attorney-General with re gard to younger sons, he had not heard so much on that point as he (Mr. Bright) had. He talked of younger sons as if they were persons most justly treated, but who did not think of the matter themselves. He would tell the hon. and learned gentleman that be had on one occasion met a younger son, who had been in . that house, and although the language in which he had expressed himself was stronger than was permitted in that house, yet he hoped he shoidd be excused if he repeated it just by Way of illustration. The young man in question met him (Mr. Bright) after he ha - I made a speech on the subject then before the house at Birmingham, and said—" I've read your speech at Bi rm i ng h am, and I agree with you that we are d-- badly used." (Loud laughter and cheers.) That, he cousidekid, was a good answer to the argument of the Atto rney-Oeneral. He did not think that the day had yet arrived for his hon. friend to carry his bill, but it would come, and that at no very distant time. (Hear, and ironical cheers from the Opposition side of the house.) Hon. gentlemen opposite seemed to hold those on his (Mr. Bright's) side of the house as hostile to the owners of large est theates. (Hear, ribear.) Wh y, d i d they not know that they, on inisteal side, had done them more good than they ever did themselves. (Ironical cheers. He for one gave his hearty support to the bill. ) , , Mr. HENLEY opposed the bill on the ground that it would be a great injustice on the small holders of real pro perty in this country. Mr. NEATE Supported the bill.

Yesterday his Royal Highness the Duke of Edin. burgh went by appointment to Merchant Taylors' Hall to receive the honorary freedom of their guild. The Prince, who was attended by. Col. the Hon. A. Liddell and the lion. E. York, arrived at the hall, inTh readneolle-st ree t, at 2 o'clock, and was re ceived b ytl Wardens,Alasr o a f n the c oCourt Company of A ss (A Ls. t r a . Foster nts , all White), the of whom wore their official robes. Thence his royal highness was conducted to the court-room, and e d having taken th e seat assigned to him, The CLERK (Mr. Fisher) read the resolution of the Court of Assistants passed at their hall on the 26th April last, which stated that the Court, desir ous at all times to evince their dutiful loyalty to the Queen, its attachment to the royal fainily, and to cherish a remembrance of the late Prince Consort, availed itself of the earliest opportunity offered to congratulate his Royal Highness the Duke of Edin burgh, K. G. , on attaining his majority, and requested him to accept the honorary freedom of their ancient Company in commemoration of that auspicious event. The Court wished his Royal Highness long life, health, and uninterrupted happiness ; that he might be permitted to pursue a career consonant with his Roy al birth, and add a lustre to the Royal navy, so dear to the hearts and feelings of English men. The MASTER expressed the gratification felt by the whole Court at the condescension which his Royal Highness had evinced in coming to receive that mark of respect at their hands, a similar com pliment having been paid by them to his father, the Prince Consort, and his brother, the Prince of Wales. They bade his Royal Highness a hearty welcome, and desired to express the pleasure they had in enrolling him a member of the Company, of ( which kings, princes, and statesmen had been mem bers in various epochs, and of which his Royal father, himself a memer, on one occasion remarked that anybody might feel proud to belong to a cor poration which could boast of uninterrupted useful ness and beneficence during four centuries, and held at this day the same honourable position in the estimation of the country which it did in the time of its first formation. The PRINCE, in reply, sincerely thanked the Master and Warden for their address, containing as it did, he said, expressions of loyalty towards the Queen, a cherished remembrance of the late Prince Consort, and attachment to the Royal family. He was also grateful, he said, for the honour they had done him in electing him a freeman of their Com pany, and he hoped always to merit a continuance of their good wishes, by doing his duty at all times, in every position where he could be of service to his country. The CLERK then administered to his Royal High ness the oath taken by every person on being ad mitted to the freedom of the Company, and which is expressed in very quaint language. The Prince afterwards subscribed the roll of honorary freemen, the name of Mr. Peabody ap pearing on it between that of his brother, the Prince of Wales, and his own, a circumstance upon which the Master took occasion to remark to his Royal Highness. This form having been gone through, the Prince was presented by the Master to the Wardens and Court of Assistants, and he afterwards took luncheon with them in the stately hall of the company, which was served with extraordinary splendour. His Royal Highness took his leave about half-past three o'clock, and as he did so he was enthusiastically cheered by the people. 00IIRSE OF EXCHANGE—Last Evening.
