I POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. -4, MARLBOROUGH-STREET, TREE T CASTAWAY CHILDREN.—Francis Mead (ten), W. Arthur Comerford (10), and James Comerford (eight),were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with begging. Joseph Bunco, 119 0, said that on Saturday evening he saw the three children in Piccadilly begging. Having seen them beg of several gentlemen, he took them into custody. Me had been to the place where the children lived in Bed fordbury, but the parents were not at home, and he was 'old by some persons residing there that if he searched all the wiblichouses in the neighbourhood he would be sure to find the father of Mead. The Comorfords told him a. most pitiable tale—that their mother ran away from them two or three years ago, that their father, who never did any work, sent them out to bog, and to bring home whatever they could; and the elder .of the two told him that. because he only brought home 11d. on Thursday night his father gave him a good beating, at the same time showing the marks about his body and legs. Mead also stated that his father was in the habit of beating him if he did not bring .home as much money as he ex pected. Mead said that all he did was to say, " Please give me a copper." The Comerfords said they had " lights to sell." Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was heartbreaking work. He would remand the children and see whether anything could not be done with the father of Mead, and the others would be sent to some institution intended for castaways. THAMES. OUTRAGE AT THE TRINITY HOUSE BALLAST OFFICE.— Michael Laskin, a ballast heaver, a native of Ireland, was brought before Mr. Partridge charged with committing an outrage at the office of the Trinity' House Corporation, Rateliff-cross, and assaulting Mr. Thomas Tigh Flinn ruler and superintendent of the establishment.

The defendant had been employed in the ballast office, which was under the control of the Corporation of the Trinity House, and was discharged ten days ago for drunkenness and neglect of duty.

The brick went through a pane of glass, struck a pannel, redounded, and fejl in the office. The prisoner was secured, and on being secured other bricks were found upon him. Mr. Flinn confirmed the statement of his solicitor, and maid the prisoner had been continually drunk, and that he Was obliged to discharge him. The prisoner stated on Saturday night that he intended to do for him and have revenge. The prisoner, in defence, said he was troubled with a giddiness in his head for a long time, and that caused all his troubles. Mr. Partridge commented at some length on the serious nature of the outrage committed by the prisoner, and said if he had struck Mr. Flinn he would have done him much harm• He ordered that the prisoner should find good bail t 9 keep the peace for six months.

This was an appeal before the decision of Vice-Chancellor Wood. It appeared that the petitioner had purchased the stock of a person named Benjamin Hutton, deceased, from his trustees, at a certain valuation. - The purchasers paid the full amount demanded, but subsequently found that some pickles and other portions of the stock were unfit for use, and they wore destroyed. He then filed a petition praying that an inquiry should be made in reference to the said portions of the stock, deciding the utmost that had been paid for them, and directing the said amount to be re funded to the petitioner out of bank annuities. The Vice- Chancellor made an order in conformity with the prayer of the petition from which the appeal was made by a per son beneficially interested in the estate of the deceased, on the ground that there had been no warranty given or fraud committed. Lord Turner, in delivering judgment, said that, although no warranty had been given, and no fraud was imputed, still, as the vendor knew that the goods were purchased for sale, there had been some complaint about them pre viously, and that they turned out so bad that the inspector of nuisances desired them to be destroyed. Shortly after the purchase ho thought the order was strictly just. Lord Justice Knight Bruce said that, although there might be some technical question raised in regard to the question, there could be no doubt as to the moral right of the petitioner for.the redress he sought. The appeal was accordingly dismissed, but without costs. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Registrar Murray.) IN RE MAJOR BROWSE. This bankrupt was described us of various addresses, major in the 69th Foot, and to-day was appointed for a meeting of creditors. The debts are about £7,000, the principal claimant being the Hon. Home Browne, £2,196. A proposition by circular to pay 2s. in the pound had been made, and it was generally understood that eventually the matter would be taken out of court. The bankruptcy is ascribed to insufficiency of income and heavy discounts paid upon loans. itaines, Wok., & Wok Taff Vale Do. C Vale of Neat Waterford & Kilkenny West Cornwill W.Hartlepool H ar.& Do.

The trade for wheat in the country markets held on Saturday was very quiet, and prices had a drooping ten dency ; the supplies on offer were moderate. For barley, oats, beans, and peas the inquiry vtas somewhat restricted, yet very little chan`ge took place in the quotations. Flour sold slowly, at late rates. The Continental markets have continued quiet at about stationary prices. At New York a comparatively exten sive business has been done in wheat and flour for export. The arrivals of English grain upto our market last weekwero small. Th e i mpor t s f rom abroad amounted to 8,785 quarters of wheat, 6,889 barley, 61,354 oats, 720 beans, 3,681 linseed, 80 sundry seeds, 140,sacks and 1,100 barrels of flour. A small supply of wheat was received fresh up to ouf market to-day, both from Essex and Kent; but the condi tion of nearly the whole of the produce was good. The accounts at baud respecting the crops being favourable, the trade for all qualities of hoine-groWn wheat was in a slug gish state. The business done was chiefly in small parcels, at about the rates of Monday last ; but to have concluded sales of any magnitude, factors would have been compelled to accept a reduction in price from this day so'ennight of ls. per qr. A portion of the supply was left unsold. A moderato supply of foreign wheat was on the stands. The trade, both for American and continental produce, was slow. Good and fine samples changed hands at full prices; otherwise, the quotations had a drooping tendency. Float ing cargoes of grain were in moderate demand, and prices were fairly supported. The market was well supplied with foreign oats, but scantily with home-grown produce. The oat trade was dull, and prices were rather lower than on Monday last. Beans—of which there was a slightly increased supply on offer—were dull and somewhat lower in value. The supply of English barley on sale was very limited, and the quotations must be considered nominal. Foreign barley—of which there was a fair supply on offer—moved off slowly, at late rates. Malt was in slow request. Prices were unaltered from Monday last. CURRENCY PER IMP.

There was on sale in to-day's market a full average supply of foreign stock. The condition of the beasts and sheep was very middling ; nevertheless, sales progressed steadily at quite last week'fhiuotations. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts were only moderate ; but there was a slight im provement in the quality of those from Lincolnshire. Nearly all breeds were in moderate request at prices about equal to Monday last, and at which a fair clearance was effected. The receipts from Scotland were good for the time of year ; but those from Ireland were very limited. The best Scots and crosses said at 5s 4d to 5s 6d per 81bs.. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire we received 1,800 short horns, &c.; from other parts of England, 800 various breeds; from Scotland, 245 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 30 oxen and heifers. The show of English sheep was again very limited, bu t in somewhat iniproved condition. On the whole, the mut ton trade ruled steady at full quotations. Downs and half breds sold at 6s 2d to Gs 4d per 81bs. • We had a dull sale for lambs, and prices had a drooping tendency. The quotations ranged from Os to 7s per Sibs.

TIMES.--Everything Mr. Gladstone has said during his short electioneering campaign in South Lancashire has been received with an interest even greater than waits on the utterances of this accom plished orator in the llQuse of Conimons. The speak ing at elections has, during the contest whi c h i s now closing,been much better than on any previous occa sion, and•we are not sure that in this style of oratory Mr. Gladstone bears away the palm as decidedly as within the walls of Parliament. But whether lie has spoken better than anybody else or not, certain it is that he has awakened a deeper interest. The new and romantic position he assumed when, chosen and approved by the intellect of his constituents but rejected by their mere numbers, he suddenly flung himself upon a new constituency, and in two days carried all before him, naturally attracted sym pathy and awakened a new interest in his suc cess. In his election speeches Mr. Gladstone has thoroughly demolished the cavils which have been raised against his finance,. and stated more clearly arid definitely than ever before his position with regard to Reform. He is quite willing to be a Reformer, provided the country is really in earnest about it—provided the measure is not sudden or sweeping Hand under these conditions he is in favour of the admission of some part of the working classes. We hope that these statements, so guarded and so modified, will undeceive those who see in Mr. Glad stone the future Radical leader. His celebrated declaration as to the presumable fitness of all men for the franchise until that fitness. has been success fully impeached he now represents as a mere abstract speculation, capable of any conceivable modification in practice, and, therefore, of no more importance as a guide to his Conduct than any opinion he may hap pen to hold as:to the course of the tides or the pro cession of.the equinoxes. He still adheres to a verti .cal lowering of the franchise, but under so many restrictions and qualifications as to deprive his advocacy of any practical value. Mr: 'Gladstone's speech at the declaration of the poll on Saturday does not add much to our information either on general politics or the particular views of the speaker. Very characteristically, and no doubt with the utmost sincerity,. he adopts as his political motto. the usual exhortation 'of the police man when the traffic begins to stagnate—" Just keep moving." We have thus formally announced from leading members of the present Cabinet the • principle of " rest" as the doctrine of Lord Russell, and the principle of " motion" as the doctrine of Mr. Gladstone. We cannot agree entirely with either of these philosophers, any more than we can say with one Greek philosopher " that 'everything is one and immutable," or with another " that every thing flows and is changeable." There. is a time for all things; a time for rest and a time for motion. Neither rest nor motion is good in itself, but only with reference to the object we have in view; and certainly of all the kinds of policy that can be sug gested for the adoption of this country, we know none so little entitled to favour as what we may call a fidgety policy—a policy of motion for the sake of motion and nothing el - se, a con tinual stirring of the pot when • there is nothing in it that requires to be stirred. When we see an attainable end before us, we ought not " just to keep moving," but to push on with all our strength, as well knowing the vis inei-tite which in this country has always to be overcome before the most reasonable principle can be established, if that principle only happens to be a new one. When we have no such end in view we confess we are not much shocked at the maxim which Mr. Gladstone looks down upon with so much contempt. "Things are very very prosperous ; why can't you be con tent ?" Mr. Gladstone descends in a shower of graceful compliments to all his fellow-candidates, successful or unsuccessful ; and, like Dido, being not ignorant of defeat, he is able to condole and sympathise with the defeated. He thanks every body—he thanks the Committees who have worked for him, he thanks the Liberals who havd supported him, and the Tories who have forgotten their party prejudices to take his side, and he thanks his opponents for their forbearance and modera tion. The hardest thing said of him by the local press was that he was an " erratic politician." This disorder, according to Mr. Gladstone, is . not peculiar to himself. The Liberals, he says, 'contend that they are more Conservative than the Conservatives, the Conservatives that they are more Liberal than the Liberals. . There is some truth in this epigrammatic observation, and as far as it is true it is the very best illustration of the substantial agreement, not, indeed,. on ques tions of party politics, but of principle, which is established between reasonable men of all parties. The word " Conservative" has really changed its meaning. In the old Tory times it meant the preser vation of whatever exists because it exists, while the term " Liberal" implied a desire to submit ex isting institutions to a more searching test than a mere existence. But the Tories have given up arguing for things as they are because they are, and have thus really come over to the Liberal side. Everybody is now-a-days a Liberal in the Sense in which that term would have been used 30 years ago. But the. testing of institutions by abstract principle shows many thngs to be good as well as many things to be bad, and thus the most determined Liberal must also be in many things a most determined Conservative. Every one must admire the spirit in which Mr. Gladstone terminates the exertions of the last .active and eventful week. We will not enter into the question started by himself, hoW far he is justly . 'entitled an " erratic politician ;" we wish at the present moment, when he is entering on a new career, to make a new start and banish from our own minds, and as far as possible from public recollection, the occasional blemishes which it has been our duty to regret in one so gifted. But we would remind Mr. Gladstone just as. he is taking his new departure in political life that many things have been excused in him in consideration of the great difficulties of his situation, and the impossi bility of conciliating the duties of a praCtical states man with the demands of such a constituency asthe University of Oxford. Mr. Gladstone now repre sents a body which is no bad epitome of the Eng lish nation, and no unfaithful reflex of his own mind. South Lancashire is eminently complex and multiform, and Mr. Gladstone will not have the excuse henceforth that he is turned aside from his natural bias and principles by the untoward consti tuency which he represents. He will have more liberty, but for that very reason a heavier responsi bility. His fate is now in his own hands, and he has a career before him which he may make a s bright or as d ar k as th a t o f any statesma n in the long annals of the English Constitution. HERALD.—The " fortnight at Wimbledon' nas come to an end, and again will the now famous common resume its ordinary appearance till in July next it shall become once more a tented..field, .with its " Shop-street " ," and " Gossip-row, , " Glen Albyn," and its " London-square"—in short, its hearty, jovial, camp life, the lov e for which has been so' strikingly developed by the Volunteers of the United Kingdom. Every year this Wimbledon encampment grows larger ; and the few courageous Volunteers who in the earlier time of the meeting's existence boldly set the fashion of living for a fortnight under canvas, have found so many fol lowers that these thoroughly urban luxuries— a theatre, a club, and a drawing-room have been rendered necessary' institutions. Everybody now admits that this National Rifle Association is a success—a success of much the same character as that of the Volunteer force itself. 'The association has had to pass through difficult phases of being, to struggle hard to keep its head above water and overcome that vis inertia which mostly stands in the way of co-operation between bodies separated by distance. Those who take an interest in the association and its proceed ings can well recollect how not only the industrious Lord Elcho, but the Duke of Cambridge himself, had to urge upon country volunteer corps the pro priety of supporting the central institution, and thus consolidating, as it were, the so-called" move ment." The provincial corps, however, were slow to take the hint, till they began to see that the asso ciation was a strong healthy body, with plenty of natural vitality, and every determination to fight against neglect. These facts settled, the National Rifle Association found subscriptions flowing in, and valuable prizes being confided to its hands ; not the least of which is a new prize, emanating from China, and to be called " The China challenge Cup," the money—£s25— being actually sent over to the association, and by the association returned, that China -may not only pay for, but design and make, the cup she offers for English competiti on. I n short, having weathered adversity, the prosperous time of the association has arrived, and the country justly looks upon it as the head and front of the Volunteer army, and one cause of that great proficiency in •rifle shooting which is displayed not only at Wimbledon but at rifle ranges all over the kingdom. A slight dispute, too, arose as. t o th e w i nner o f t h e E nf i eld Wimbledon Cup- The two gentlemen who made the highest scores, shot, it appears, under a mis apprehension. They were not duly qualified, and therefore: the cup went to the third highest on the list. But so doubtful was the aspect of affairs that not till the last moment—indeed till Lord Elcho had actually informed his rudience that the prize could not be awarded—was th. 3 Enfield Wimbledon Cup assi g ned to the fortunate . gentleman who to o k th e benefit of his opponents' ilisqualifieation. Then the matter was-settled by the second highest on the list suddenly yielding his claim and en a bli ng Lord Elcho to make• the distribution more immediately behind complete. lu this friendly way-the little di sputes of the meeting were amicably m e t, a nd the compe titiona n e aeager I d B e 6 s i s: e w f a e s r so th e carried recurrence of s b to t l e e ave fortnight's camping out in 1866.

Success won the Trial Stakes at Nottingham very easily, although' Brahma was made the favourite: In the suc ceeding race, the Bradgate Handicap, the talent at length selected the right one .in Moulsey, who beat The Beadle, The Tippler, and three others in a canter; but in theevent that followed, won by Gownsman, they suffered severely, as most of them bad the temerity to bet 7 to 4 on Attache, notwithstadding his being very thin . and . worn-out look ing, which, considering how often he has run ()pate, is not surprising. A wretched field, both in number and quality, ran for the Nottinghamshire Stakes, as it comprised only Dunkeld, Auditor, Veluti, Spring Gun, and Lady Bohun. Spring Gni], the sapient public got it into their heads, was a "good thing," the consequence of which was ho opened the favourite, but when seen not to be in any thing like the form he was in at Liverpool, ho gradually retrograded in the betting, when the Hampton victor, Auditor, became the favourite. And he made a much more favourable "reckoning" for his noble owner than at Stamford, where tho distance was too long for him, as he had the race in hand all the way, being very little inter fered with by either Spring Gun or Dunkeld, neither of whom seemed to like the hard ground, especially the latter, who never was in finer trim. The Robin Hood Stakes cut into very small dimensions, as only three ran—King Hal, Aunt Polly, and Acta3a, the latter an extraordinary good looking filly by Stockwell out of Electa, who was very backward. High odds was betted on King Hal, who won "in a walk." The Portland Plate produced six runners, of whom two alone—ollerton and Lady Bohun—were backed for money, slight odds being betted on the fornter. He, how ever, failed.to nin up to the form he showed at Stamford, as Lady Bohun beat him very cleverly, as did the Iris gelding, whom Mr. Barber's filly was only able to beat by a neck. The Nursery Plato was contested by nine starters, and it took the talent some time before they could make a selection, when they pitched upon Virilliani Pitt and Miss Roland. The former, however, proved quite unworthy of their affection ; but happily the " second string" just got through, winning.by downright gameness by a head from Viper, who was near doing a good thing for both her owner and the Ring. In going to the starting-post an ugly. accident befell Little Carroll. Pretty Queen, who was restive, suddenly swerved aside, and jumping the rails, fell, giving her jockey so severe a shaking that it prevented his riding again during the afternoon ; but We a& glad 'to state, nevertheless, that this most meritorious light weight re ceived no injury sufficient to prevent his reappearance in the pigskin during the ensuing week at Goodwood. Like the Nottinghamshire Handicap, there was a great falling off for the Chesterfield Handicap, which brought no more than five of those weighted to the starting-post. As those, however, included the two Stamford opponents, Privateer and Helen,• considerable interest attached to the result. They met on exactly the same terms as for the Burghley Stakes, but the distance being three-quarters of a mile less, was held to be so favourable for Helen that most of the cognoscenti went for, and at one time she threatened to become a better favourite than Mr. Savile's horse, who, however, had tho call at last. And following out the same tactics adopted at Stamford, Loates came through with him, making the pace good all the way, and won rather cleverly by three-quarters of a length, Helen beating Tippler—who looked very like win ning at the distance—by a head only. The meeting of Robin Hood and Gretna., at Winchester, in the Biennial Stakes, was the principal attraction of the. meeting; but even with the result of the Exeter Stakes fresh in recollec tion, and the great ease with which Gretna carried off the Grange Park Stakes, did not encourage the fielders to take odds at all "kindly," seeing that Robin Hood had a 31b untried allowance, and the distance was a furlong further than at Newmarket, with a stiff hill to get up besides. Accordingly the Hurstbourne " crack" had it all his own way, both in the Ring and in the race, which was never in jeopardy—being nothing more than the exercise canter Lord Portsmouth considered it would be for his horse, whom, had he not been very fresh, or had he exhibited any ill effects of his four races within eight days at Stockbridge and Newmarket, he would have reserved for his autumn engagements, for which he will now be " put by." The most important race at Southampton was the Stone ham Park Stakes, which Mr. Pitt, although carrying a 71b. penalty, won in n canter. Oxone took tip the running, and was soon leading four or five lengths; and as Fordham and Adams on the two favourites were "at" their horses after crossing the tan road (half -way,) 100 to 10 was offered on the leader in rising the hill ; but compounding at the end of half a mile—her extreme course—she had not a struggle left, when Mr. Pitt (who had previously settled The Mule caught her near the top by dint of hard riding on Ford ham's part (who admitted that ho never rode behind such a beginner)) and finishing like a lion, the favourite won the most exciting race of the meeting by four lengths, Ozone beating The • Mule, who was not ridden out, by the same distance.. The others wero never in • it. The Goodwood meeting com mences to-morrow, and if the weather keeps favourable is sure to draw a large number of distinguished visitors to the course. The Lavant Stakes will bring together Mr. Pitt, Auguste, and The Primate. The latter two have been backed heavily for next year's Derby. But as public run ning is a more reliable guide than private reputation; I shall certainly give the preference to Mr. Pitt. The Grat wicke Stakes, in the absence of Breadalbane, will be won by Araucaria. As. General Peel will likely be reserved for the Cup, and Claremont for the Stakes, Baragah will secure the Four-yr-old Sweepstakes. The winner of the Stewards' Cup I expect will be amongst the following Oar-tette, viz.! Perfumer, Paris, Crisis, and Anti-Macassar. The Good wood Stakes is the most important event on the second day.

There has been the usual amount of milking and swindling in connection with this race,that I should advise in future, on all large handicaps, to wait till the da3 of the race, and let the owners and trainers have all the milking and swindling among themselves, which would have the effect of turning the rogues out of training, and in the long run be the means of giving the public an honest run for their money. it is ;Jo use now-a-days selecting a horse on its performances, unless in weight-for-age races, where they generally run on their merits.

This morning the jury previously impanelled re-assem bled before Dr. Lankester, at the British Stores, New street, Portland-town, for further inquiry relative to the death of Madile. Marie Bullot, the young French lady who died at 28, Portland-terrace, St. John's-wood, after abor tion had been effected. This was the fourth meeting of the court. Mr. Montague Williams, barrister, 'represented Mrs. Priscella Oliver, landlady of the house in which the deceased died; and a gentleman was present to watch the case on behalf of some person, whose name was not given. The jury having answered to their names, Mr. Inspector Thomson, of the Detective Force, Scot land-yard, said that he had an application to . make to the court. The department in which ho was engaged had re ceived important information relative to the case of the de ceased young lady, but owing to the difficulty of pbtaining the witnesses at so early a time, he was instructed to apply for a further adjournment. The Coroner asked Mr. Thomson iff a note had been shown to him whick had been sent to and opened at 28, Portland-terrace, and dated July 1. • Mr. Thorns . = said he had seen that note, and inquiries had been made respecting it. It had .been.written by a porter at Forge d'Allais, which was situated near Mont pelier and 3iismes, in the department of the 'Garde. It was also near the Chemin de Fer du Midi, and adjacent to Marseilles. 1 • The note referrod.to some luggage belonging to-the de- ceased. The Coroner said that was very important, ' showing that the deceased had about that time been in the locality. He had written a note at the request of the mother of the deceased to France,. informing her when the adjourned in quest would be held ; but he understood that that she was not present, and further, he had not since beard from her. Mrs. Oliver said she did not believe it was her intention to attend. She (the mother) apprehended that there was somecons Consul h furniture, ad ee been but o e c r h ( w w a t n ensoot the d e a h s oo hadThne 0 1; n madeeh any mention of the mother's arrival. Mr. Thomson said he had been to the French Consul, and he mentioned nothing to him about her expected ar rival. The Coroner said it appeared to him that as there was no property it was more than probable that she could not attend, or she would have been present at that time. He had been informed that certain witnesses were to be exa mined, but owing to their being out of town they could not be communicated with in time for their appearance on that occasion. There was no doubt there was a great deal of evidence to be taken, so as to show who this young lady was. Nothing further could be done at the present time, and he therefore proposed that they should then adjourn. The Court atljourned accordingly. Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day. Market rather steady.
