L THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 25, 1866. LAW INTELLIGENCE—(Thii Day.) COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings in Banco, before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn. and Justices Blackburn, Mellor, and Shee.) THE WEST LOCAL BOARD OF DERBY V. HAROLD Mr. G. Russell moved for a rule calling on certain justices of the peace to show cause why they should not send a case in this matter to the court for argument. It appeared that under the Act 10 and 11 Vic., cap. 34, sec. 126, commonly known as the Town Improvement Act, which prohibited persons using any place for a slaughter house or knackers yard which had not been so used prior to the passing of the act unless they obtained a license. The penalty for each offence was ,Z 5, and the defendant had been convicted of having slaughterd some sheep on the piece of ground belonging to the Liverpool New Cattle Company and paid 2d. for each sheep slaughtered. The defendant was only a journeyman butcher, and acted under the directions of another butcher. There was no notification to the effect that the premises were not re gistered. The Lord Chief Justice said that if ignorance of what the law required were indispensable then no conviction could be served. However, as the question was important and was not frivolous, the court would grant the rule. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. BIRDS'-NESTING IN KENSINGTON-GARDENS. James M'Mahon and James Chatten, two lads, were charged before Mr. Knox with wilfully damaging trees and shrubs in Kensington-gardens, the property of the Commissioner of Woods, &c. Park-constable Howes, No. 14, said he was on duty last night, about a quarter past eight o'clock, near the Prince Albert Memorial, when he saw the prisoners in turn climb up the chestnut trees after bird's nests, and breaking off the branches, and, in addition to the damage to the trees, they also damaged some shrubs and flowers. Mr. Knox inquired whether there was much of the prac- tice going on. The park constable said it was just commencing, and there were 30 or 40 cases a day, the boys taking advantage of closing time, while one of the constables had gone to the gates, the trees being much damaged by them, while in pursuit of birds' nests and ducks' eggs. Mr. Knox asked the amount of damage ? The park constable said about half a crown. Mr. Knox ordered the prisoners to pay 2s. 6d. each and a fine of 7s. 6d., or seven days, stating that the practice must be put a stop to. A GANG OF SUSPECTED PERSONS IN REGENT-STREET.— Four lads named John Quinlan, Jerry Driscoll, George Crinnen, and Jeremiah Dacey were charged as suspected persons loitering in Regent-street for the purpose of com mitting felony. The case was proved by Shrive; 82 C, and Cherey, 87 C, who saw the prisoners yesterday afternoon in Regent-street pushing amongst the crowds of persons at a photograph shop and a toy shop, and after watching the prisoners for some time, they saw one of them touch a gen tleman's pocket. Being observed by the officers, the pri soner walked away, Dacey remarking to his companions, "Its no use stopping, we can't do any good and can't get near them." The prisoners were then taken into custody. In answer to Mr. Knox two constables stated that they knew the prisoners to be the associates of thieves ; and Gordon, 33 C, said he knew three of them to go about with blacking-boxes of a night and to be with young thieves, and two girls who had been chaiged with robbery the previous day also belonged to the gang. The prisoners said they got their living honestly, and that all the police knew of them was that they were shoe blacks. Cherey said that Driscoll told him that they were going up Regent-street to see who had won the fight. Mr. Knox committed them for a month each with hard labour. THAMES. ROBBERIES Ili DOCKS.—Joseph Asser, a man about 55 years of age, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with stealing 11b. loz. of composition nails, worth about is., horn the London Dock. The prisoner was stopped as he was leaving the dock by a constable named Gordon, and the nails found upon him. lie said that he picked them up in the Eastern London Dock. The Prisoner—l did take them. Mr. Paget said that property was necessarily exposed in the docks, and that robberies of this description wore Ire. quent, though small in amount ; in each individual case in the aggregate the loss to the dock companies was very great. This system of petty pilfering was a great evil. He sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned for two months, and kept to hard labour. A DRUNKEN WIFE AND THE RESULTS. —A man named Bealing was brought up on remand charged with assault ing Eliza Bealing, his wife. her face was marked and her eyes blackened. There was no doubt she had been severely punished. She was in a high state of excitement. From her statement it appeared that her husband beat her and kicked her in a very brutal manner on Saturday night last at their dwelling, No. 7, Bermuda-street, Stepney, and he gave her two black eyes, beat her on her breasts, and kicked her. She went to the station-house In Arbour-street East on Sunday morning. She was then half stupefied, and appeared to have been severely maltreated. The pri soner was taken into custody at once. Eliza Smith and Jane Hall, also dwelling at No. 7, Bermuda-street, said that Mrs. Bealing came home intoxicated on Saturday night at twelve o'clock. In the course of the night fearful screams were heard, and there was no doubt the prisoner was beating his wife. Mrs. Bealing was questioned, and said she was given to drink. Her husband split her head open with a ginger beer bottle twelve months ago. Mr. Stoddart, solicitor, said the complainant had broken up her husband's home. She was an incorrigible drunkard. He was employed by Allen and Badgers, the manufac turing chemists, in Ratcliff, and he had established a respectable home, which his wife broke up. Mr. Stoddart produced 130 duplicates relating to property which the wife had pawned, and said she had been held to bail for threatening her husband. It was a painful case. An in dustrious man, ruined by a drunken wife, who came home and pulled her husband out of bed while she was drunk, and exasperated him to madness. The wife here said she was in the wrong; she forgave her husband, and the magistrate, after a severe admoni tion to both parties, the one to lead a sober life, and the other to refain from violence, ordered the defendant to enter into his own recognizance to keep the peace and be of good behaviour towards his wife. He entered into the surety and was discharged. MARKETS.—this Day. MARK-LANE.

[REUTERS TELEGRAMS.] BERLIN, May 24th. -4- The King of Prussia has forwarded the following reply through Count Eulenburg to the address pre sented to his Majesty by the Municipality of Breslau, in which that body tendered his support n case of war : " I have received with pleasure the address for warded to me by the magistracy and municipality of the town of Breslau upon the 15th inst. I recog nise therein the expression of the same spirit which animated the fathers of the present inhitbitants of Breslau in 1813, and it has been gratifying to me that the representatives of the city have expressed that feeling with earnestness and warmth. No one can feel the burden of the sacrifices war would im pose upon the Fatherland more painfully than I; no one can feel more strongly the necessity that they should be borrie in undisturbed concord by ruler and people. My word may serve as a pledge to the town of Breslau that no ambitious object not even that which might be considered justified in the interest of the great common fatherland ; but solely the duty of defending Prussia and her most sacred possessions has induced me to call my people under arms. The inhabitants of the town may be assured that agreement upon the question in dispute between my Government and the Diet is the object of my wishes and of my most zealous endeavours. I shall convoke the Diet of the monarchy in the hope that, in view of the dangers threatening Prussia, opposing views of right and opinfons may be recon ciled in common devotion to the fatherland. By ordering new elections the electors and the candi dates obtain the possibility—freed from relations originating in the past--of expressing the senti ments animating my people in the present menaced position of the cou n t ry. I n th i s sense I h ope t o see my faithful town of B res l an represen t e d a t th e ap proaching Diet, and co-operating, through its mem bers, in bringing about the agreement for which I am striving. (Signed) WILLIAM." BANK OF FRANCE. ---~--~ PARIS, May 24. The following is the return of the Bank of France for the week ending to-day, together with the cor responding figures of the previous account : ROYAL THAMES YACHT C LM. THE FIRST-CLASS CUTTER MATCH. The great channel match of Monday was succeeded yes terday by the first-class cutter match for aprize value £lOO, for which the following fine vessels started : Yachts. Tons. Owners. Lulworth Vanguard 6O ... Captain J. W. Hughes. Vindex Sphinx Amulet Christabel The course proposed was from Gravesend; the Mouse Light and back, but as the wind was dead on end, the Nore Light only was reached. The Prince of Wales steamer accompanied the race, and exhibited a great im provement in the form of an upper deck in the midshins making a delightful promenade, and sheltering h er 1 0 ; e; deck in bad weather. She loft Lon lon-bridge at half-past nine, accompanied by the Oread, with a large party of the general public. At 11 hours 56 minutes Lord Alfred Paget, the commo dore, ordered the first gun to be fired to get in readiness, and in five minutes afterwards to start. The wind was E.S.E., a strong reefsail breeze, with a lumpy sea. The Amulet had dragged her anchor a hundred yards, and the Sphinx pretty well as much. The Christabel had the best place, the Van guard and Lulworth the worst, as they had to makes board to get over to the weather shore. All began to sheer be fore the second gun was fired, and all started very smartly. All cantered to the north, and exhibited their wonted alac rity in setting their canvass, the Christabel setting her jib while in stays near the north shore. The Sphinx was the first to tack to the southward, being put about by the Amu let. When all were fairly settled in their places the Vindex had the lead, all standing over on the port tack. The Amu let lost a man overboard directly after the start, who was smartly picked up while swimming by the vanguard, and before the latter could get away well again she put the Lul worth on the starboard tack-about, stopping her completely. The Sphinx had been taken inside the shipping to the southward, seemed to lose ground by it, and the Christabel became second, the Lulworth third, Amulet fourth,' and Sphinx fifth. At East Tilbury tho Vindex had a good lead followed by the Christabel, Vanguard, and Lulworth. Up to this time it had been a dead heat, but they now made a long log down the Lower Hope, and- opening Sea reach met the force of the wind and began pitching heavily, all their bowsprits being under the water at times, and each vessel showing its forefoot. The Vindex was here a quarter of a mile ahead, Christabel second,Van guard third, then the Sphinx and Amulet. At a little above Holehaven some accident befel the Sphinx, which put her hors de combat. Apparently she had sprung her gaff, and she lowered her mainsail and turned back, but the Prince of Wales was too far off at the time for us to observe particularly the nature of the disaster. This was succeeded by another accident, which probably changed the fortune of the day. Off the Chapman, while beating gallantly through a tumbling sea, the Vindex, with a lead of 500 yards or more, became disabled. In one sea the shackle of the bobstay gave way, the next half filled her jib, and away went her bowsprit, close by the gammon. She was kept for a short time on the port tack, and then bore up. She was not only the distance we have described ahead, but well to windward. The Christabel was thus left first, Vanguard second, and the Lulworth took the third place. At 2.20, when abreast of Southend, the tide began to slacken, and the noble commodore gave the signal to round the Nore Light, which was done with the first appearance of the young flood as follows : H. M. S. Christabel 2 51 .50 Vanguard. ••• 2 Si 20 Lulworth 2 59 10 The Vanguard and Lulworth had come down with a pair of reefs in, and the others with one reef ; indeed, the Lul worth had had another reef in her foresail from the Chap man downwards, by which she' was apparently much benefitted, and it was generally thought that had she done this earlier and set a third jib from the beginning instead of a second, she would have done better. On their return with a fair wind, all set gaff-topsails over reefed mainsails and the Lulworth in the Hope drew up to the Vanguard, and made a very interesting race, but there was no second prize to reward it. The Lulworth tried to pass her to windward, but the Vanguard would not have it, and the Lulworth then came stem and stem with her to leeward, and after remaining in that position a short time gradually stole in front of her, and the race finished as under, the Vanguard having set a balloon foresail Christabel N. M. 5.4 42 15 Lulworth ~. 4 45 20 Vanguard 4 47 10 Thera was a time allowance of half a minute per ton, but it will be seen that the Christabel was the smallest boat of the three. The skill and attention displayed by Captain Ryan is deserving of the highest commendation, as was the care the steward, Mr. Watt, took to provide the creature com forts of the day. COLONIAL.

Meeting of Florists and Amateur Gardeners• - m-- At a meeting of florists and others, including a deputation from the Tower Hamlets' Floricultural Society, held at the rooms of the Central Horticul tural Society, 40, Essex-street, Strand, London, G. Gordon, Esq., A.L.S., in the chair, it was re solved " that a testimonial should be presented to Mr. George Glenny for his long and valuable ser vices in the promotion of floriculture, and thit a committee be formed to carry out that object." The following gentlemen were elected with power to add to their number :--Chairman :—Mr. George Gordon, A.L.S., late Superintendent of the Horti cultural Gardens, Chiswick ; treasurer, Mr. J. A. Cunningham ; honorary secretary, Mr. G. Green. Committee :—Mr. Ball, Mr. Rangs, Mr. S. Broome (Temple-gardens), Mr. Courcha, Mr. Dale, F.R.H.S. (Temple-gard ens ), Mr. Washi ng t on, M r.

THE WORK BEFORE PARLIAMENT.--In the House of Commons 44 public bills await a second reading, 20 that have been read a second time have to pass through committee, three have to be considered as amended, three await a third reading. In respect of 23 of the 64 bills that have to be read a second time or to pass through committee, notices have been given of opposition or of amendments. Those look most threatening on the notice paper that re late to the Reform Bills, the Customs and Inland Revenue Bill, the Terminable Annuities Bill, the Railway Clauses Bill, the Bankruptcy Law Amendment Bill, and the Church Rate Abolition Bill. Three debates stand ad journed—those on the Tenure and Improvement of Land (Ireland) Bill, the Turnpike Roads Bill, and the Esta blished Church in Ireland. It is proposed to refer the Pier and Harbour Orders Confirmation Bill and the Mer chant Shipping Act Amendment Bill to select committees. Leave has yet to be asked to bring in four new bills. There are 33 notices of motion and of purpose to ,4 call attention" to certain subjects. One of these is a motion for a Royal Commission on the question of the coal supply. In the House of Lords, 11 Lords' bills await a second reading, two have to pass through committee, and three await a third reading before they can go to the Commons. These 16 bills, added to the 70 before the Commons, make a total of 86 to be " disposed of." Nine Commons' Bills await a second reading in the Lords. The town of Abbeville first gets historic mention in the century succeeding Charlemagne. It is called Abbatis Villa, and belonged to this great monastery of St. Rignier ; wherefore I hav e i ntroduced both the good saint townsand of the his foundation. grew, a religi ous roo t— a in , as almost all th e w tap-root, striking deep the soil. Of course, having thus ages did grow, gr frombegun to grow, its history has ma d e interesting chap terstomiddle a great deal too long to be cop i ed or even noted here ; it will not bo amiss, however, to look for its points of occasional contact, with E ng l and. Firstly, then, it was from St. 1 alert', the seaport of the Somme, that William the Conquer.:,r set out for England. Then, in 1859, our Henry 111. met Sir Louis at Abbeville, and Henry did homage for his Fren c h possessions. Then, in 1372, our great King Edward I. married Eleanor, heiress of Ponthieu—she who sucked the poison from her hus band's wound ; and the b •esses of Abb ev ill e, misliking the transfer, quarrelled violently with t h e king's bailiff and killed some of the underlings. Eleanor's son, Edward 11., married Isabel, the she-wolf of France. This unamiable specimen of her sex lived at Abb ev ill e in 1312; but dur ing her reign and residence, and o f h er son Edward 111., the inhabitants of Abbeville ceased not to kick indignantly. Once a Week. Tiie Re-distribution Bill. Lord George Gordon Lennox, under date May 23, writes thus to the Times: Would you do me the favour of permitting me to call the attention, through your columns, to the arbitrary and absurd mode in which the 'Government Bill proposes to deal with Lymington, the borough I have the honour to represent ? The boroughs which the bill proposes to leave in Hampshire are Portsmouth, Southampton, Winchester, Newport, Lymington, Christchurch, and Andover. To form the new Hampshire group the Government propose to join Lymington to the borough most remote from it— viz., Andover. Christchurch is 11 miles from Ly mington, Newport 16, Southampton 19, Portsmouth 24, Winchester 29, and Andover 36. Nor is it merely a question of distance. There are no two boroughs in the county with less direct means of communication than Lymington and Andover. But even this is unimportant compared with the diversity of interests exhibited by the two boroughs. Lymington is at the extreme south on the sea coast, while Andover is the agri cultural centre of the north-east district of Hamp shire. There are, in fact, no boroughs in the county the interests of which are so dissimilar. On the other hand, if the principle on which Mr. Gladstone proposes to form his groups in the bill were to be fairly carried out, there would be no difficulty - in associating Lymington with the neighbouring bor ough of Christchurch, giving them two members, or the extent of the borough might be increased by adding to it the area of the Lymington Union, which would give the borough so augmented a population of 12,023 inhabitants, comprising within its limits a most wealthy and influential class of residents. It must be patent to every one that the additional expense incidental to such a system of grouping must be very considerable, while at the same time no advantage in the direction in which it is so desirable will be realised.

PARIS RACES. The extra day at Paris which took place last Sithday was owing to the Versailles races being transferred to Paris; and although the weather was very fine, the atten dance was by no means so large as on previous occasions. After the fourth race his Majesty the Emperor drove up to the Imperial Stand, and was in time to witness a very interesting race for the Prix de Satory, for which it was expected Florentin, the winner of the French Derby, would have started, but owing to his extra weight he was with drawn and his stable repcesented by Florida. The race was won very cleverly by M. Lupin's Maravedis, ridden by Kitchener, which was his first winning mount since his late illness. The Prix du Cedre produced a very exciting finish between Czar, Baionette, and Le Sioulet, ending in a dead heat between Czar and Baionnette, the latter having run very unkindly during the race, and at the conclusion 6 to 4 was laid on Czar, and as Baionnette jumped the ropes at the windmill turn, Czar cantered on and came in alone. Since the laat meeting in the Bois de Boulogne a very convenient sort of open shed has been erected behind the stands, which affords shelter from the sun and rain, and was occupied by the betting fraternity. Baron de la Rocette officiated as starter, and Count Greuffulhe occu pied the judge's box and superintended the weighing de partment. The other races do not call for any particular remarks, full details of which will be found below:— PRIX DES CHAMPS ELYSEES of 120 sovs, for three-yr-old horses and upwards; entrance 2 sovs each; the second horse to save his stake ; three-yr-olds, Bst 51b ; four, 9st 111 b ; five and upwards, lOst llb ; the winner to be sold for 160 sovs, and selling allowances for less.
