ABEL SMITH, Esq., M.P , the treasurer, addressed a few remarks to the clerks assembled. He said he was sure some of the officers of the association, although they would have to pay the annuities (laughter)—felt as he did—viz., that those just elected might live long to enjoy the benefits to which they had become elected. Hs - hoped the unsucessful candidates would not be cast down by the results of the poll ; he hoped the day would come when all the applicants of to-daywould become participators in the fund. (Cheers.) The clerks were under deep obligations to the members of the board for the zeal and energy with which they administered the affairs of the association which he thought ought to receive the unanimous support of the clerks of the country. Thanks having been voted to the respected treasurer, the proceed ings terminated.

This bankrupt was formerly landlord of the Duke of Gloucester public-house, New-road, Whitechapel, and was out of business. He was the defendant in a breach of pro mise of marriage and seduction case, in which he was cast in damages £5OO, and costs £lO4, his victim being the daughter of a neighbour. After hearing Mr. Sal-good, for creditors, and Mr. Gough, for the bankrupt, his Honour dismissed the peti tion on the ground of informality in describing a particular debt. THE JUDGES' CHAMBERS. (Before Mr. Justice Montagu Smith.) O'MALLEY IRWIN V. SIR GEORGE GREY, BART. This case, reported in our paper of the 23d instant, in which an application was made on behalf of the defendant for a postponement of the hearing on the ground that no month's notice of plaintiff's intention to proceed had been given, was this day decided by the learned Judge in favour of the plaintiff. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATrERSALL'S—LAsT EVENING• The "off " day preceding the Epsom week is an excep tion to the rule, and falling, as it did to-day, between the Bath and Harpenden meetings, it could not fail to produce some features of interest in the Derby betting. Members began to assemble early, and from the first settling on the Bath meeting was proceeded with, alternated by some transactions—on the quiet--on the Derby. When speCula tion began in earnest 6 to 1 was taken about Gladiateur, 7 to 1 Breadalbane, 9 to 1 each about the Duke and Archi medes, and 10 to 1 about Wild Charley, several of the re mainder being supported at various prices. Shortly before five o'clock, however, it was officially announced that The Duke had been scratched at 4.14 p.m., a declaration which was received with blank asto nishment by all, and with dismay by a great many. For some time the news was too ugly to believe, but the presence of Mr. Weatherby in the subscription-room, to gether with the well-known Burlington-street sign manual on the "notice board," soon dispelled the fondest doubts. As might naturally be supposed, many deplored their own personal losses by the scratching of a horse that had oc cupied so unequivocally firm a position in the betting from the first day he was backed for the Derby ; but, despite their own disappointment, they did not forget to express their sympathy for the noble owner, who, they said, though the heaviest sufferer himself, never attempted to recoup himself to the amount of a single guinea when he found that his horse had gone amiss. For this act alone the Marquis of Hastings will be regarded as a true and worthy supporter as well as patron of the Turf, and it may be some small recompense for his sudden dis appointment to know that of the numerous backers of the Duke there is no one who will not mingle with his own chagrin his individual regret for the baffled expectations of the yOung English nobleman who has sacrified so much to secure that coveted trophy, the " Blue riband" of the Turf. On the withdrawal of the Duke the betting under went a complete change. 9 to 2 was taken and offered about Gladiateur, and 11 to 2 accepted about Breadalbane, while Archimedes advanced to 7 to 1, taken freely. But the most noteworthy changes were anent Christmas Carol, Longdown, and Oppressor, who shot ahead with such suddenness that 13 to 1 and 14 to 1, each to £lOO, were taken about the first two respectively, while 1,000 to 70 was vainly sought for about Mr. Mackenzie's horse. Chattanooga was again sadly knocked about. The first bet booked about Mr. Naylor's horse was 2,200 to 100, but, after the scratching of The Duke, the opposi tion had another shy at him , when 20 ' to 1 , 18 to 1 , 20 o 1, and 18 and to tie lagain a and again were laid in "tens," state of things which tended but "ponies," fifs"— little to establish this still mysterious horse in public favour. The Marquis of Hastings's second string, Kan garoo, said to have escaped the influenza which struck down his stable companion, was inquired after, 1,000 to 20 being taken twice. The remainder of the transactions will be found amply detailed in the subjoined list of closing prices : THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLocK. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS—Tins EVENING.

CLERICAL SUBSCRIPTION. Lord LYTTLETON presented a petition from the Church Union Society against the Clerical Subscription Bill. THE PARISH OF ST. MARTIN'S, LIVERPOOL. The Earl of DERBY presented a petition from the clergy and laity of the parish of St. Martin's, Liverpool, com plaining of the difficulties thrown in their way of a church in their parish. The Bishop of CHESTER explained that he had de clined to consecrate the church, because some dispute had arisen among the trustees as to the patronage. After some little discussion the matter was dropped. IMPERIAL GAS. Lord RAVENS WORTH, on the motion for the second reading of this bill, moved as an amendment that it be read a second time that day six months. Amongst his objections was the tendency which ho asserted the bill would have to create a gigantic monopoly in the supply of gas. (LEFT SPEAKING HOUSE OF COMMONS-THIS EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and passed:— Burton-upon-Trent Connection Railways, Crieff and Corn rie Railway, Great Western Railway, North Eastern and Cleveland Railways, and Rickmansworth, Amersham, and Chesham Railway. ROYAL COMMISSION The Usher of the Black Rod here appeared at the bar, and summoned the Speaker to the House of Peers to hear the Royal assent given to several bills. RAILWAY BILLS. Mr. THOMPSON moved that the special report from the committee on group 8 of railway bills be referred to the standing orders committee, together with the minutes of the evidence taken before the said committee on the 18th of May, with reference to the Skipton, Wharfdale, and Leyburn Junction Railway Bill. That it be an instruc tion to the committee that they do report whether, in their opinion, the proceedings therein disclosed involve any infraction or evasion of the Standing Orders, or of the Acts relating to Parliamentary Deposits. The hon. mem ber said his object in making the motion was to bring before the committee the manner in which railway bills were got up. An engineer and solicitor having nothing to do had but to take up a map and select a spot on which there was not a railway running, and immediately they struck one out ; and by . stating that valuable minerals were to be found in the neighbourhood, the shares were taken up, and the only persons deluded when the bubble burst were those who had taken up the shares. He thought the time had arrived when the whole system of getting up companies should become known to Parliament. After a short discussion, the motion was withdrawn, with a view of making some amendment in the terms of the motion. EAST INDIA ESTIMATES Mr. HANKEY moved for a return from the Govern ments of Bengal and the other Presidencies in India, giving their opinions as to the efficiency of the present system by which the Civil Service was recruited from this country, and whether they considered that the service had been improved by the present mode of election by competitive examination. _ _ The return was ordered. MAIL TO INDIA. Mr. CRAWFORD moved for a copy of any memorials (with the signatures attached and covering letters) received by her Majesty's Postmaster-General from the Indian Pre sidencies relative to the despatch of a weekly mail between England and India. The return was ordered. INSPECTOR GRAHAM'S REPORT. Mr. O'REILLY asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether his attention had been called to the misstatements contained in the report of Inspector C. Graham on the National School of Coote-street, Ireland, published in the return had been laid upon the table of the house ? Sir R. PEEL said he had read the report in question, but he was not aware that any mistatements were made in Inspector Graham's report. He would make inquiry in the matter, and communicate the result to the house. ENGLAND AND AMERICA—THE ALABAMA. Sir J. WALSH asked the First Lord of the Treasury whether her Majesty's Government had received from the Government of the United States any formal and official demand for compensation to American subjects for losses sustained by the Alabama or any other Confederate cruisers alleged to have been equipped in British ports ? Lord PALMERSTON said a correspondence on the matter had been going on between the two Governments during the last two years on the subject of the prizes taken by the Alabama and other vessels of the same description. A letter had been received from Mr. Adams that day, which had not yet been replied to. Each party had stated their views on the matter. He assured the house that the correspondence had been carried forward in very friendly terms. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) PROPOSED NEW MUSEUM. Mr. DOULTON asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he would, before the house adjotirn'ed for the Whitsuntide holidays, lay upon the table of the house the estimate for the new Museum of Natural History ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the estimates for the new building could not be brought for ward until the matters respecting the land upon which it was to be built was settled. Mr. DOULTON asked whether the right hon. gentle man could state any time after which he would bring the matter forward? (Hear, hear.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied that the last thing he should dream of doing was bringing for ward any estimate at a time when the house was not in a position to give it the fullest consideration,_ 'STORAGE OF GUNPOWDER. Mr. A. EGERTON asked whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to bring in any bill this session to make regulations with a view to prevent acci dents by the explosion of gunpowder ? Mr. BARING said such a bill was in preparation, but Captain Boxer's report, with respect to the sale of that material, had been so lately presented that, until the trade and manufacturers of gunpowder had become acquainted with its purport, he could not say when it would be intro duced. It appeared impossible to bring in the bill before Whitsuntide. SLAVE TRADE. Mr. BAXTER asked the First Lord of the Treasury whether, looking to the changed aspect of affairs in Ame rica, her Majesty's Government, either separately or in conjunction with - , the Government of the United States, would consider the propriety of sending a squadron to the coast of Cuba, for the purpose of preventing the importa tion of slaves into that island, and thereby effectually putting an end to the slave trade ? Lord PALMERSTON said, 12 months ago her Majesty's Government communicated with the Government of the United States in respect to the co-operation of their ves sels with the cruisers of her Majesty's navy on the coast of Africa, with a view to the prevention of the carrying on the slave trade. Difficulties then arose with respect to the neutrality this country had assumed, which could not at that time be overcome. Things had, however, altered in America, and application had again been made to the Ame rican Government that every privilegegranted to the most favoured nations would be offered to the cruisers of the United States. The difficulties, he felt fully persquded, would, be overcome, and that the evil so long complained of on the coast of Cuba would be put an end to. (Hear, hear.) MASTERS IN THE NAVY. Mr. CORRY asked the Secretary to the Admiralty whether the proposed scheme for the abolition of the rank 'of master, which the First Lord of the Admiralty had stated was to be laid before Parliament previously to its fi adoption, would specify what increase it would occasion the numbers on the active lists to which the officers now in the line , of masters would be removed ; and whether, in order to obviate stagnation of promotion from those lists so increased, it would provide for a proportionate increase of the superior lists : also whether it would comprise an estimate of its immediate and prospective effects on the amount of the vote for half-pay and retirement to officers of the navy ? Lord C. PAGET replied in the affirmative. The pro position to be laid on the table would refer to the matter and give the fullest information. THE ECLIPSE SCHOONER. In reply to Mr. C. FOSTER, Lord C. PAGET said no official importance had been received of the destruction of the schooner Eclipse. The information that had been received at the Admiralty had been brought by a small trading vessel. NEW ZEALAND. In reply to an HoN. MEMBER, Mr. CARDWELL said the mail just in had brought two despatches. They were not yet in type, but he might in-' form the house that the principal topic mentioned was the. triumph - of the friendly natives over those in opposition. It would no doubt be satisfactory to . the house to know that the mail also brought from the Colonial Government £500,000 for their debentures. SUPPLY—THE CASE OF COLONEL DAWKINS. Lord PALMERSTON said it would be for the conve nience of the house if hon. gentlemen having notices on the paper previsms to the right, hon. member . for Devizes would give way, in order that that motion mightbe takoni as early as possible. Mr. IsTeate, Mr. H. Tracy, and Mr. 0. Stanley having assented, Mr, D. GRIFFITH moved au Address to her Majesty for a copy of all correspondence relating to the first court of inquiry on Lieut.-Colonel. Dawkins in or about July, 1864, including all communications which had been made on. the subject, ,from the Field Marshal Commanding-in- Chief to the Major-General 'commanding the Brigade of GuaFds, during the' interval between the .first and second courts of inquiry - Which had been held on Lieut.-Colonel Dawkins, and up to the present time.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET VIOLENT THREATS BY AN ALLEGED LUNATIC.—Mary Ann Hymans, a married woman, residing in. John-street, Tottenham-court-road, was brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt on a warrant charged with using threats towards Mrs. Martha Hampton, her landlady, and Mrs. Alice Cook, a fellow lodger. Mrs. Hampton said—l consider the prisoner is mad and not fit to be at large. She brought down a knife and swore she would rip every one up, her language being frightful. Alice Cook—A fortnight ago I heard the prisoner say that she would rip up every one in the house, having a knife in her hand at the time. She brandished the knife about and swore she would have some one's life, and that if I did not keep in my room she would kill me. On Sun day night last she had some words with her husband, who wont out, and she then said she would go down and kill the landlady. I heard her sharpen a knife on a stone. I do not think the prisoner is accountable for her acts. The Prisoner—lt is not true. A man in the house whistled at me, and I spoke about it. James Paire, one of the warrant officers, said—On taking the prisoner into custody she became very excited, and I had great difficulty in getting her to come away with me, or she would have been brought up yesterday. Prisoner—Yes, because I was not guilty. Mr. Tyrwhitt—The people in the house must be pro tected whether you are a lunatic or not. I shall remand you for a week, and by that time the state of your mind will be inquired into. THAMES. IMPUDENCE AND RESIGNATION.—James Cogle, a poor shoeless boy, aged 13 years, was brought before Mr. Part ridge charged with attempting to steal a till and its con tents from the shop of Mrs. Eliza Taylor, ship biscuit baker, of No. 124, Cock-hill, Ratcliff. Mrs. Taylor stated that last evening she saw the prisoner behind her counter and about to removo the till. She at first thought it was her own boy, but on closer inspection she found it was a strange lad, and she got up and laid hold on him. Another boy came into the shop and tried to rescue him. Prisoner—There he is. Mr. Partridge—Who, what do you mean ? Another boy left the back of the court, got into the dock alongside the prisoner and said, " Here I am, sir." Prisoner—This is the chap who was with me, Mr. Partridge ordered the "chap" to leave the dock and said there was no charge against him. If there was a charge ho would not hear it in such an irregular way of bringing a case before him. George Coleman, a police-constable, No. 270 K, stated that the prisoner had been in custody before, and was a very impudent boy. No shopkeeper was safe from his petty depredations. Roche, the gaoler of the court, said the prisoner had been very much neglected. Mr. Partridge having made inquiries about the prisoner's father and family, said he should order the prisoner to be detained three years at the Feltham Industrial School, and his father to pay 2s. per week for his support. The Prisoner—Three years at the Feltham School? Mr. Partridge—Yes, three years. The Prisoner—Thank you. I don't mind that. Three years. Good! - STABBING.—EmanueI Visaro, a Spanish seaman, was brought before Mr. Partridge charged with robbing and wounding Emma Frost, of No. 15, Albert-square, Shad well. The prosecutrix said she was in a " dance-room " in Whitechapel last night, and saw the prisoner and other foreign sailors beating a young man. She interfered and the prisoner struck her on the head with a sharp instru ment. • Mary Ann Scanton confirmed the evidence of Frost. Robert Payne, a police-constable, No. 198 H, said tho surgeon at the London Hospital pronounced the wound on the woman's head to be a very serious one. She bled copiously from the wormd. Mr. Partridge remanded the prisoner for a week. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. MIDLAND.
