THIS EVENING'S NEWS. THE WAR. ADDRESS TO THE NATIONAL GUARD. The Emperor has sent the following letter to the Commandant of the National Guard of the Seine : " I beg you to tell the National Guard of Paris how much I reckon upon their patriotism and devotion. At the moment of leaving for the army, I am anxious to ex press the confidence I place in them to maintain order, and to watch over the security of the Empress. " At the present time everybody must contribute to the best of his powers towards the safety of the country." General Darieu is appointed Governor of Algeria ad interim. DEPARTURE OF THE EMPEROR. A telegram has been received from Paris states that the Emperor starts to-day to take command of the army and open the campaign. PRINCE NAPOLEON. The project of sending Prince Napoleon on a mission to Denmark has been abandoned; it has also been deter mined not to give his Imperial Highness any command in the war. IMPEN DING BATTLE. From Verviers we learn that " in the best informed quarters it is thought very likely that on Saturday or Sunday next there will be a serious engagement between the French and Prussians ; but the precise whereabouts is at present uncertain." GENERAL ADVANCE OF THE PRUSSIANS. The Prussians are concentrating their Rhine army on tne French frontier, between Treves and Mouzingen. A general and immediate advance of the Prussian army into France is expected by all the Germans of the Rhine. A force of 70,000 men occupies Mayence ; and in Cologne there is a body of 30,000 cavalry fuuly equipped and ready for any sudden transference. THE FRENCH AND PRUSSIAN FORCES. The French forces now collected near the German fron tier are about 350,000 men. The Prussians will muster upwards of 400,000 men. The Prussians find they have brought up too much cavalry, and are running short of forage. They have got a very considerable force close to the frontier of Belgium, but the French have very few troops on theirs. A FRENCH CRUISER IN THE CHANNEL. A telegraph received from Portsmouth this morning Bays a French corvette is off the Isle of Wight, just out side the three miles distance, boarding all merchant shipping. During the last two days more than a hundred Bavarian and Baden deserters have arrived at Strasbourg. - - M. Roederer, a Prussian officer, who had been arrested at Strasbourg as a spy, has been set at liberty, as his arrest had taken place anterior to the declaration of war. The Independance Beige says that a correspondent of one of the Paris papers having published an account of having seen from the steeple of Strasburg two Corps d'armee march in a certain direction, the commanders have coun termanded the orders they had given, and the paper has had to recall it correspondent. THE ATLANTIC IAC EiT RACE. A telegram dated New York, July 27, says the yachts Cambria and Dauntless have arrived, the English yacht Winning the race by one hour and a quarter. She was met down the river by a large number of yachts and steamers, and was enthusiastically eheered the whole way up to Staten Island, The Dauntless arrived afterwards, but the yachts never sighted each other after the night of the start. This fact was owing to the Cambria taking a northerly course, reaching as high as 55 N., while the Dauntless kept the southern track. The Cambria earried away two foretopmasts, but had spare ones on board to replace them. She met with no other mishap, and arrived at New York, all well. She had strong westerly winds and fresh gales to Cape Race, which she sighted on Monday, the 18th. After that she had light headwinds to Sandy Hook. The Dauntless had a succession of sfrong north-west winds, with occasional gales and calms. THE TYNE CHAMPION CHALLENGED. - - - The American champion sculler, Coulter, has chal enged Renforth to a five mile match, and the Eng lish enaropion signified his willingness to row on any suitable river during his stay in Canada in September next, when the four-oared race between the Tyne and the New Brunswick crews is fixed for decision. The match will probably de duly ratified. The Tyne champion four are in active work, and their new boat, launched on Tuesday, is said to suit th-ia capitally. TOE UALAKITOUS FIRE AND LOSS OF LIFE IN TIIE WATERLOO-ROAD. INQUEST.—(Tins DAY.) This morning, Mr. Carter, the coroner, for East Surrey, resumed at the Henry the VIII. Head Tavern, High-street, Lambeth, the adjourned inquest upon the six bodies of the children burned to death in the calamitous fire that occurred in the premises of Mr. Hill, cabinetmaker and furniture dealer, No. 132 and 134, Waterloo-road. The inquiry created a most painful sensation, and the large club-room in which the court was holden was densely crowded. Captain Shaw, chief officer of the Fire Brigade, and Mr. Foreman Cooper, locum tenens for Mr. Super nt mdent Swanton, of the London Salvage Corps, who was ill ; Mr. Harolyn, the district foreman of the Brigade ; and the solicitor of the Board of Works attended to watch the proceedings. Mr. Isaac Sheppard, the summoning officer, was first examined. He sail that on S a t ur d a y morn i ng last he was Bent for to Mr. Hill's premises, and upon ascending some ladders he saw the six children in the attics. They were badly burned, and had evidently died from suffocation and burning. He took charge of the bodies. James William Hickendon, engineer of the Metropoli tan Fire Brigade at Waterloo-road, said that on Saturday miming last he was called to the fire, and upon getting tip he arrived at the fire in less than two minutes after being called. He then saw that Mrs. Hill was at the second flcor window hi her night dress. He and Williams, a fireman, fetched some scaling ladders and placed thena no to the attic windows. He assisted Williams to carry ors. Hill down from the pent house over the shop. When he came out of the engine house the fire appeared to be ragin g at the back part of the preinises. The distance from the engine house was within thirty yards. After the fire was cooled he went up to the attic and found the six children burned to death. Two men were up and dressed at the time the bell wa3 rung. He had six men on duty at the time of the fire. The first person that went up the ladders was Williams, a fireman. There was a party wall between the two houses, but the lower part had been cut away to f orm one s h o p. B o th h ouses were th ree s t or i es high. He had since examined the premises for the pur pose of tracing the cause of the fire. He could.not find that anything had been done intentionally to cause the fire. There was one very dangerous place where the glue was heated. The yard was covered over and used as a work shop, which had been burned out and the roof off. The glue was heated in the workshop in a fire-place run up with brickwork and shut up with iron blowers. He could not account in any way for the origin of the fire. No time was lost as soon as lie heard that there were children in the attic. The engines, the ladder'-' and everythina were in order, and the men turned out asfquickly as possible. James Boyce said lie was second in command of the Waterloo-road engines. On Saturday morning he *NA lYling down in the watch room, when he was alarmed by the ringing of the bell. He ran to the door, and found a stranger about 17 years old, who said that Mr. Hill's pro mises were on fire. He ran into the road and could tliin see the fire issning into Anbin-street. He rang up the engineer and the men. He turned out the steamer, _lit the fire, a n d t e l egrap h e d to the foremen's station in Kening ton for other assistance. Bt George at the CharleWa terloos Willia ms -road. said that he was a fireman sleeping z ed On Saturday last he was in the engine house. He got up and took two briers to • Mr. Hill's furniture premises. He saw the names rolling over the house and out of the second floor of 132, and smoke coming out of the windows of 134. The smoke was so dense that he could not see any one at the windows. He placed two ladders against the projection Over the shop, and he carried a spare length with him and drew the other two le gths up. He placed the ladders to the second floor and entered the window. The room was fohot an d f u ll o f smo k e . H e f e lt a b ou t the floor and d m Mrs. Hill. He took her in his arms, and was in the act of getting with her upon the ladder when his left foot became entangled, and he fell with her on to the projec tion over the shop, He next got more ladders and got up to the attic windows, which he forced in and tried to get in, but the smoke was too dense and hot. The flames Came out of the second floor Window and set the ladders " 11 fire, so that lie was unable to come down, and he was taken o ff the next house b y t h e fi re escape. He had to g ° home as his arm was badly hurt by the. fall he had reced e d . Wm. Macdonald a labourer, of 124, Waterloo-road, t_ l l the employ of Mr. Hill. He worked for Mr, Hill. He knew the other two houses, 132 and 134. He was there on the night of last Friday. He closed the front shutters after putting in the goods. That was about half- Past 9 o'clock. Mrs. Hill and seven children were in the Premises at the time, but Mr. Hill was not at home. Two men were at th e ti me stowing away some iron bedsteads, and they had a lighted candle with them to see by. There was no gas in that room, but there was in 134. As he Was leaving he saw Mr. Hill, and he asked him if he 41 culd close the door. The metre Was in the front area l:le did not smell fire when he was shuttina up. The al teratione in the s h o p s were no t qu it e finished. He could not form any (minion as to the origin of the fire. 1 2 11 ', • Hill havi ng b een exam i ne d . b u t no a dditional facts ~"".°ing elicited the 'j ur y re t urne d . a ver di c t of accidental 'Leth in all the cases. arm. :ulty the dier. nent vs of lame ;man tie de ! 1871. rofes- use of essen -0 one e and erious at the Id be great Aions :e and ace if rters? n. the • it is Learly f the when lurch- I epro .tion ..nters A the ble by ; but Lords 3 shall The f this snsus. to the , the greed ildren each, e con- THE StTN, LONDON, HURSDAY EN , EN ING, 3ti IA 28. 18'7O.

The English agents of the North German Postal Con federation have been officially informed that the convey ance of letters and the ordinary postal sample parcels and packages is not at present interrupted in any part of the Confederate territory, or with the adjoining countries, and that the measures taken to insure its continuance are such that nothing short of a general advance of the in vading force into the heart of the Confederation will cause it to be suspended to any extent. The maintenance of this service is very important, since it is said that not only are the parcels counted by millions, but that the largest cities and the smallest hamlets equally rely upon it as the only means of transport at their disposal. The railways will not carry parcels, although at liberty to do so, the monopoly of the parcel post having long since been aban doned, as they cannot contend with the established or ganisation and moderate rates of the post. It is added that the clock-regularity of the service cannot, of course, be sustained with the country in a state of war, bnt that the delays will not exceed a few hours, and that imme diate notice will be given of any change. The suspension has been announced of Messrs. John Rutty and Co., timber merchants, of Paddington, with liabilities reported to amount to about £BO,OOO. With regard to the condition of affairs at Liverpool the Liverpool Journal of Commerce states as follows : " Many failures have been mentioned to-day, and it is beyond doubt that to-morrow the number will be largely increased. Among the firms who have been compelled to succumb are Messrs. Robinson Brothers, East India merchants; whose liabilities are stated at £150,000, and Messrs. William Quentell and Co., cotton brokers, with liabilities amounting to_X6o,ooo. On the Stock Exchange the failure of Mr. Alfred Ackerley was announced, and, besides, four cotton brokers were declared defaulters, and in consequence three share brokers have announced their inability to meet the demands made upon them." The Manchester Courier reports the failure of Mr. William Cramer, and Messrs. Joseph Eller and Co., commission merchants, in the German trade, consequent upon losses occasioned by the disorganised state of com merce arising from the war between France and Ger- many. An instalment of 15 per cent. falls due on Saturday next on the last Egyptian Loan. On Monday 23 per cent. is payable on the Japan Loan, and 10 per cent. on the Russian. At the meeting of the New Zealand Trust and Loan Company (Limited) a dividend was declared of ss. per share, free of income-tax. The Birmingham Joint Stock Bank (Limited) has de clared a dividend at the rate of 20 per cent per annum, payable on the Ist of August. The ordinary general meeting of the Charing-cross Hotel Company (Limited) wlll be held on the Bth of August to declare a dividend. At the meeting of the General Credit and Discount Company (Limited) the directors' report was adopted, and a dividend declared for the half-year at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, free of income-tax. naie containing his money. He called a policeman and gave the prisoners into custody. Tobin was hanging , about him for some time. He could not accuse Dicken son of doing anything, but she was with the other pri soner. Nothing was found on either of the prisoners. Mr. Lushington could'not see what Dickenson had to do with the robbery, and discharged her. He committed Toben for trial. A NICE FRIEND.—AIfed Abbott, aged 20 years, a brick layer, of No. 4, Rhodeswell-road, Limehouse, was brought before Mr. Lushington, at the above Court, charged with stealing a silver watch from the house No. 4, Dalgleish street, Limehouse. The prisoner called upon Mrs. Sarah Hume, an old acquaintance, a few days ago, and while she was absent a few minutes he gave hei• children a penny to spend, and they went out, leaving the coast clear for his operations. When the woman and her family re turned a watch was missing and the prisoner was gone. He was sought after and arrested. Mr. Lushington re manded him for a week. PERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—WEDNESDAY. The Speaker took the chair at a quarter-past twelve o'clock. FOREIGN ENLISTMENT. Mr. VERNON HARCOURT gave notice that on Thursday he would ask the First Minister of the Crown why in the Proclamation of Neutrality issued by Her Majesty on the 19.:h July under the provisions of the Foreign Enlist ment and Equipment of Vessels Act, no mention was made of the section of the same Act for bidding the enlistment of subjects of the Crown in the service of either of the belligerent powers, and whether there was any reason for departing from prece dents established at former periods and particularly from the proclamation of May 13th, 1861. QUEEN ANNE'S BOU BILL NTY (SUPERANNUATION) .) On the order for the second reading of the above bill, Air. Rylands moved that it be read that day six months, and addressed the House at considerable length. The object of thebill was to pension the secretary and treasurer of the Bounty Fund, and the member for Warrington emphati cally declared that it was an attempt to take advantage of the funds of a charitable institution t o pension off a gentleman who ought of his own good sense to retire with out a superannuation allowance.—Mr. Kewdegate sup ported the bill, urging that the business of the Bounty B Jard had been conducted both creditably amil economi cally, and the secretary and treasurer, by reason of the efficient manner in which he had performed his duties had a great claim upon them.—Mr. Dickinson supported the amendment, believing that it was high time that the attempts which were occasionally made to secure superannuation allowances to officers in what could not properly be termed pUblic departments of the State were checked.—ln the course of the discussion, Mr. Stansfeld said it was clear that the object of the bill was to enable the Bounty Board to confer a pension upon Mr. Hodson, when by the terms of his contract he was not entitled to it. He should feel it his duty, if the bill went into com mittee, to support his hon. friend, who doubtless would move the omission of the clause which would enable tlis Board to grant a pension. On a division being taken, the motion for the second reading was carried by 100 to 43 votes. BROKERS (CITY OF LONDON) BILL. This bill was read a second time without any opposi tion. THE BALLOT BILL. On the order of the adjourned debate on the second reading of the Ballot Bill being called, Mr. GLADSTONE, after alluding to the cisoumstances under which the Government had abandoned in conse quence of the pressure of business a bill on the subject of the Ballot, said that he now felt it his duty to vote for the second reading of the measure introduced by a private member, and he would state why, although he would not attempt to go into the details of the questions connected with the Ballot. In other times, whether rightly or wrongly, he was perfectly content to hear the question argued as it was argued by Lord Palmerston. Lord Palmerston, who had paid a great deal of attention to and took a great interest in the Ballot, usually founded himself upon this view of the case : that the franchise was to be used as a trust, exercised by a limited portion of the community for the benefit of the while community, and that the whole community had just the same kind of right to know how the trust was exercised on their behalf by the limited portion of the community entrusted with the franchise as the public out-of-doors had to know how the powers entrusted to their representa tives in Parliament were exercised by the representatives within these walls. He did not refer to the argument for the purpose of claiming any adhesion to its on the part of those who had always supported secret voting, but_ simply explaining his own view of the case. He thought the change which had taken place in the constitution of our Parliamentary system within the last two years was the basis of the change which would take place in the mode of voting. With regard to secret voting, even those who did not concur in the argument of a trust applied in former times by Lord Palmerston and other opponents of the ballot, must feel that the position of the question was very largely altered by the extension of the constituencies. Let them consider what that extension was. It was an extension mainly, he said, from £lO suffrage to house hold suffrage, and really, virtually and in principle, he should say that it was an extension of a limited to an un limited suffrage. When they had adopted household suf frage, he thought they had adopted practically the principle that every man who was net disabled, in competent by age, crime, poverty, or some other positive disqualification, was politically compe tent to exercise the franchise, and that it was simply a question of time and convenience when the suffrage should be placed in his hands. To draw a distinction between household suffrage and lodger suffrage provided the lodger be a person who had a certain permanence in his tenancy in his opinion would be wholly impossible. To draw a distinction between boroughs and counties was, he thought equally impracticable. He would not now enter into the question, and it was an im portant question whether over and above personal franchises, property franchise ought to be retained in the course taken upon the Reform Bill by himself and by others with whom he had the honour to act—they shewed a disposition, not for the retention, but the multiplication of these property franchises, the extension at least of these property franchises by lowering the vote for the household. What he spoke of was not whether franchises of that kind should have their place in our constitutional system or be recognised, but whether in Inks ciple Parliament had now placed the repre ' sentative system of the country upon a footing on which they could justly say that the whole of the people of the country were presumably entitled the exercise of the suffrage. He thought that was a true view of the case, and that the extension of household suffrage to the counties was a question of time and conve nience. (Cheers). He was not at all sure if that were the occasion to enter upon the subject as a question of party politics, whether the adoption of such a measure might be very beneficial to the gentlemen who sat opposite. With that they had nothing, however, to do, and it was not necessary to gist an opinion upon it ; but he thought in principle they had bound themselves to measures which must infal libly entail that consequence. He thought the true view of the case was this. There was no larger constituency, properly so-called, but with reference to the permanent working of our sys tem, a limited constituency, acting and exercising a trust on behalf of the whole of the people ; and the basis on which Parliament desired to found the representative system of the country, was a basis no less narrow than than that of the entire nation—(cheers) —setting aside those who might be subjected to posi tive disqualification. Consequently the trust which was exercised by the father of a family by the adult male in giving his vote for a merriber of Perna znent was practically a trust mainly exercised on behalf of the wife and children, all other persons being presura ably entitled to act upon a footing of equality In giving a vote. That being so, they had to look at the question with reference to other considerations, and he owned that he would greatly prefer, sq far as he was concerned in all circumstances, even when the argument of trust had dis appeared, that the vote was a trust to 'be exercised on behalf of others who might not exercise it for themselves —the public discharge of every public function. He was not, therefore, able to point to secret - , voting as an unmixed good. He looked upon it as a choice of evils, and he asked himself when they regarded the parliamentary fran chise disembarrassed of those peculiar considerations which attached to it BO long as they had comparatively a very limited constituency—what was the condition that it was the duty of Parliament to secure ? He could not doubt what would be the answer made to the question. The proper answer to be made was that it was the first duty of Parliament, having conferred the franchise, - to provide that the franchise should be exercised freely, (Cheers.) That it should be exercised freely was , of the utmost importance. The freedom of the voter, the right hon. gentleman went on to say, was threatened, and it was threatened he did not hesitate to submit, from the dictation and the possible violence of mere numbers. (Cheers). It was threatened from a more subtle, and more extensive, and more continuous action of these influences connected with property. (Hear, hear.) To one case he felt it necessary to refer, because it was a case which produced great agita ' 'Hon in the public mind at the time, and which could not be forgotten within the walls of that House. He meant the circular which was -issued, from the town o: Blaekburn, during. the proceedings and period of the general election of 00E5. 'plat circular was an invitation issued by one of the parties in the town, he need not say which, to all persons who possessed property, station, or influence, or anything by means of which they ,could carry influence, to bear upon the votes of their fellow citizens, to meet together for the purpose of concerting measures in order to give effect to that influence. That was a hardy and daring attempt to put down freedom of election which iould not be redressed by law. He believed that Parliament would do well to frame a law which, without interfering with personal liberty, should prevent and nip in the bud attempts of such extraordinary audacity. If power, prc perty, and station Wy any organisation brought such in fluence to bear upon the masses in thebosoms of great com munities, the freedom of tile franchise was in the utmost danger unless gpecial measures were taken to secure it. The vast extension of the suffrage which ha. , l taken place, immensely strengthened the argument in favour of sc cret voting if secret voting were protection to the voter, because in former times the I, Lllt of the constituencies consisted of persons who were supposed more or less to have property, and ihey were also , supposed tabe more or less capable of defendingithemselve.s. But they lied now adopted a different principle, and had thought tit to adinit to the franchise in a mass those who were dependent for their bread upon their daily labour. (Hear, hear.) Nov, to expose such a class as that to the action of those powerful and overruling com binations was, in his opinion, to stultify .ie whole of that great operation of Parliament b 5 which the franchise had been s,o largely extended. It was, therefore, in view of that necessity and of duty that he thought the time had connt . when tne Haase would best discharge Is Obli gations Us the country by giving eft to the print:loe of secret voting, or whatever else it be the franchise ought to be free, and if it were true, and I.) wee true, that the voter was not perfect, that ha was open to corrupt motives under certain circumstances —at any rate he had all the infirmities of our nature—those infirmities could not be cured by the oppressive influences of intimidation, whether they came from above or from below, on the contrary they would be aggravated. The man would become a hypocrite in the face of day, and he would conceal his intention and his action would falsify and belie the convictions of his mind. (Cheers,) Therefore it was their duty to secure in the first place and above all other things that the vote be given freely, and next to that it would be the desire of the Government to consider all the means which would tend to secure its 1 eing given purely. (Cheers.) There was one advantage which tended to mitigate the postponement of the measure that the Gevet nment had introduced. They would have a better opportunity of examining more carefully (lowing the secess the subject ci the ballot than thear would have had at the end of the session, the method pro. posed by the hon. member for Huddersfield, and the various methods proposed from other quarters for the Government to 6toose from among them the one which might be the best method of declaring a secret vote. A secret vote in some shape or other appeared to be required by the social circumstances under which we lived, and he could not placewholly oat of view the fact of theextensive acceptance it had received in other countries of the world. He could hardly suppose it possible that any, except those who had become enamoured of the question by studying it from a particular point of view, could give a warm ibstraot preference to secret voting, but a practical prefer ence to secret voting had been given in one shape or another everywhere. The Engfish race had spread itself over the face of the earth, and other nations our rivals and companions in civilisation, to say the least, had generally, he believed, resorted to this method of pro ceeding. At any rate, their judgment must be governed mainly by regard to the condition of the society in which we lived, audit must also be governed by regard, i,n some degree, to the progress of opinion. It was impossible not to see that the nation had very perceptibly moved in the direetlen of secret voting gam the last Reform Aot. Even the proceedings of the committee which sat last year, and composed of seine of those who represented the party opposite came to support that view of the case. The conclusive consideration which arose in his mind was that While the greatest and weightiest argument against secret voting had either wholly disappeared or had been greatly reduced in their scope and weight, in consequence of the change ht the constituencies, and still more of the change in the priucipal upon which our Parliamentary representation might now be said to be founded, while the arguments on one side had lost force, from these causes the arguments on the other side, so far from losing force, had attained it. The greater dependence of the mass of the constituencies rendeeed the bulk of the indi viduals who composed them much mere open than hereto fore to the illegitimate influences, if not of bribery, yet of intimidatiqn. .They could not,. without a measure of that kind secure the exercise of the franchise in that freedom which was its first, most vital, and most beneficial charac teristic. (Meets.) _ Mr, Disuanti protested against a measure of that sort being considered at the cud of the session. It was of such importance that if they were to scramble over the subject it would be very undignified. Alter some remarks from Mr. Assheton the bill wilts r3ad a second time. FACTORIES AND WORKSHOPS DILL T 1 bill was read a third time. tURNPIKE ACT CONTINUANCE BILL. This bill was aka road a third time and passed. PUBLIC SOILOOLS AOT AMENDMENT ]HLL. On the motion for going into ootomittoeon this bill, Sir. NVINTZEMTHAtt moved that ft be &fermi for three month°. Alter few words from Mr. Bnocg the stnetadment wee negatived without a division, and the Melee wtitA into vdmmittee on the bill. Mr. WINTERDOTHAM moved the insertion of the follow ineg new - clause after Clauge 3 :—" That the approval et disapproval of her Majesty to any statute made by any such governing body, in pursuance of the powers ro vested in it, shall not be signified until such statute has Peen laid before both houses at Parliament, for a period of not less than forty days," The SOIACITOR-GENERAL opposed the motion. On acii.yision the claims was rejected, the numbers biting—for the clause, 3G ; against it, 70. The Local Government Supplemental Bill was read a third time and passed. T ; he Sanitary Act Amendment Bill was read a this c time and passed. The tionse then adjourned. THE BRIXTON BABY-FARMING CASE. The two women, Margaret Waters and Sarah Rees, concerned iu the Brixton baby-farming case, were brought up at Lambeth Police-court, on remand, yesterday morn ing. The Treasury prosecuted. Mr. Henry Harris, surgeon, residing at 2, Northampton terrace, Denmark-hill, said he knew the prisoners. On the 9th of May he was called to see a child suffering from cerebral irritation, and after wards saw it several times. He saw other children there and was called to prescribe for one three weeks old. On the 11th June the officers came to him and told him about the number of children that were in the house. He after wards went to the prisoners' house, and they said Cowen's child had been taken by the officer. The child, he saw, looked pinched and careworn. He had no conception that there were eleven children in the house when he visited there. _ _ _ Sergeant Reif said he had made out a list of the 79 pawn tickets found in prisoners' possession. They nearly all related to infant's clothing. The principal part was pawned in 1870. Some in 1869. The tickets relating to infants' clothes had realised £lB odd. Mr. Poland said this was all the evidence he proposed to offer to-day. It was satisfactory to have to close this long-standing inquiry which it was felt from the impor tance of the case to be necessary to fully go into. It would remembered that in the case of Miss Cowen's. child a verdict of manslaughter had been returned against Waters. Now the question was with respect to the others, whether his Worship would commit for manslaughter, or the more serious charge of wilful murder. The question was, did these persons, when they took charge of the children, intend, by neglecting to pro- N4de them with proper food, that death should take place; if they did, that would be to all intents and purposes wilful murder. If, on the other hand, they merely stupidly neglected to give them food, it would of course only amount to manslaughter. He would ask his worship to say whether he would not commit them on the more serious charge, leaving the jury to say whether the death of the children was not caused by the prisoners, and whether their neglect was with the intention that the children should die, so that they might be relieved front the expense of maintaining them. It was also a question whether the prisoners should not be committed for neglecting the children, and causing them permanent injury. A question might arise as to Ellis's responsibility, but he submitted there was sufficient prima facie evidence for her committal, although Waters, who traded under so many different names, seemed to have been the chief. Mr. Mayo urged that the evidence produced was in sufficient to induce the magistrates to commit for wilful murder. London was the emporium of baby farming. and frequently persons who were childless came to these places, and paid large sums for a child, which they Ldopted and passed off as Elliott)heir own. The magistrati3 (Mr. E committed the prisoners fOr trial at the next Central Criminal Court on the charge of wilful murder. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—Tms DAY. ROBBERY AND RECEIVING.—Thomas Kelly, errand-boy, in the employ of Mr. Wm. Frederick Williams, jewel-case maker, of No. 38, Broad-street, Golden-square, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, at the Marlborough-street Police-court, with stealing a pair of solitaires, of the value of £3 108., and John Bradshaw, of No. 3, Upper James street, Golden-square, was charged with receiving the same with a guilty knowledge. Mr. Froggatt appeared for Bradshaw. From the evidence it appeared that on Mr. Williams missing the solitaires on Monday morning, he having left them with one of the apprentices on Satur day, he called up the apprentice, who said that he had missed them soon after Mr. William left the premises on Saturday, and on inquiry being made it was found that the prisoner Kelly had been showing them to some boys on Saturday night in Marshall-street. On Kelly being taken into custody he said that he picked up the articles while sweeping out the shop, and from a statement subsequently made by him the officers Shrives and Butcher went to the residence of Bradshaw, who admitted that he purchased the solitaires of a boy for 25., believing they were not worth more than 10s., and at once gave them up. The prisoners were remanded, Bradshaw being admitted to bail, on the application of Mr. Froggatt, in the sum of £2O. THE GENTLEMAN AND THE CABMAN. —Mr. John Smithfield, a gentleman, residing at 30, Charles street, St. James's, was brought up at the Westminster Police-court, charged with assaulting Charles Swallow, a cab-driver, and damaging his coat to the value of 12s. It appeared from the evidence of the cabman that the prisoner picked him up at Knightsbridge, and ordered him to Kensing ton. He stated the defendant used very bad language, and ordered him faster. He was going between eight and nine miles an hour, and at last stopped and refused to go further. The prisoner gave hini 6d., and then threw him another 6d., and then wanted to get him into the cab. He would not drive him, and prisoner seized the horse's head, and nearly backed the cab into a waggon. He went to the horse's head and took the reins from the prisoner, when the latter struck him a violent blow in the mouth, causing it to bleed pro fusely, and then followed it by other blows, and tore his coat to shreds. Henry Cummins, a carman, corroborated Complainant admitted striking defendant in self-defence. Prisoner said he used no bad language. The horse was lame and could not go, and he got out of the cab, but not finding another wanted to go on again ; the cabman did not let him, and he held the horse's head ; the cabman struck him and they had a fight ; the constable would not lock the cabman up, but took him because the cabman had a mark on the mouth ; he had not the slightest idea he was going to the station to be locked up. Mr. Arnold, after looking over the evidence, said the prisoner had terminated the contract by paying the cabman, and he was not bound to drive him again ; he had no right to take the horse's head, and the cabman had a right to take the reins from him, and then to strike this violent blow. He fined him 205., or 14 days. The money was paid. IMPUDENT ROBBERY OF A CAPTAlN.—Elizabeth Toben, aged 29, and Ellen Dickenson, 24, were brought before Mr. Lushington at the Thames Police Court charged with stealing a purse containing £3, the property of Captain Gabriel Benson, the master of the ship Verge. The pro secutor was at the Eastern Hall, a cheap concert room in Limehouse, last night and saw the prisoners there. They said nothing to him in the hall, but on his leaving they followed him out, and Toben put her arms about him and her hand in his trowsers pocket He got rid of her as soon as he could, and then missed his portemon- THE EVANGELICAL ALLIANCE. It is announced that no change will be made, in conse quence of the war in Europe, in the arrangements for the Conference of the Evangelical Alliance which will assemble at New York on September 22. Over 400 European delegates have signified their intention of attending. THIS MORNING'S NEWS. (CENTRAL PRESS TELEGRAMS.) BUSINESS IN LIVERPOOL. Business was worse than ever in Liverpool yesterday. Seven failures were announced on the Stoek Exchange, and in the cotton market business was limited at a still further decline. WAR DEMONSTRATIONS IN LIVERPOOL. The Mayor of Liverpool has informed the local repre sentatives of France and Germany that no patriotic de monstrations will be allowed in the town in future either on the part of one or the other nationalities. LARGE FAILURE IN BRADFORD. The failure of Messrs. Halliwell and Crabtree. I, merchants and importers of mohair, Bradford, Is —. nounced, with liabilities estimated at two hundred thou saa d pounds. The firm has been in existence fifteen years. The stoppage is attributed to the failure o Messrs. Leagler and Co., of Constantinople, who were also engaged in the mohair trade. Mr. Halliwell, the senior partner, died some years ago. The firm was one which enjoyed excellent credit. Much sympathy is ex ) .ea_el for the surviving partner. MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND LINCOLN- SHIRE RAILWAY. At the half-yearly meeting of the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway, held at Manchester yesterday, Sir Edward Watkin, chairman, in moving the addiption of the report, said they were met under circumstances of great anxiety, with an important European war, in which this country might become embroiled. They must ex pect the political circumstances for a time to affect the income and revenue of the company. He was some what hopeful, for though the ports of Prussia and France might be closed, the industry of England would find vent in some other way; and the directors would do what they could to secure a fair share of traffic. The accounts showed that in the December half of 1869 the company earned £376,800, and for the present half £325,263, making a nett profit upon the whole year of £712,000. From this sum certain deductions had to be made bringing the balance of nett profit down to £696,000. The report was adopted, and a dividend on ordinary stock at the rate of one per cent. was declared. At the half-yearly meeting of the Manchester and Liuerpool District Bank, held at Manchester yesterday the usual dividend of 15s. per share, with bonus of Es. per share, was declared. THE BISHOP OF BATH AND WELLS ON UPPER-CLASS EDUCATION. Yesterday afternoon the Duke of Cleveland presided at the distribution of prizes to the pupils of Sydney College, Bath. Besides the members of the council, the Bishop of the diocese (Lord Arthur Hervey) and Major Allein, M.P., were present. The Bishop presented the prizes, and urged upon the pupils the importance o; the upper classes keeping ahead in the education race, now that the lower classes were about to receive a larger measure of education. His lordship dwelt on the necessity of attend ing especially to classics and mathematics, if only for the discipline. These branches of study gave to the mind the precision and accuracy of thought they superin duced. THE WESLEYAN CONFERENCE. The Wesleyan Conference opened at Burslem at half past nine o'clock yesterday morning. Thanks were presented to the Secretaries, Dr. James, Mr. W. Williams, and Dr. Marmaduke Osborn. Mr. Williams acknowledged the vote. Messes. Henry W. Williams and Dr. Marmaduke Osborn were reappointed secretaries. Mr. Robert Newton Young was elected assistant secretary. Thanks were given to Messrs. Luke Wiseman and William S. Ratcliffe, who were reappointed official writers. Mr. Frederick Grieves was appointed letter writer. Dr. Jobson moved the thanks of the Conference to Dr. Osborn for his able and powerful lecture delivered on Monday evening on the Holy Spirit and His work. The Rev. John Rattenbury seconded the motion which was carried unanimously. It was decided that the next Conference should be held in Manchester. THE ROYAL ARCHAEOLOGICAL INSTITUTE The Royal Archeological Institute resumed its sitting in the Freemasons' Hall, Leicester, at ten o'clock yesterday morning. Lord Talbot de Malahide presided. Archdeacon Trollope read a paper on archaeology and its advantages to all classes. The Rev. J. G. Joyce followed with inte resting details of the Roman town of Leicester, describing its original position and general characteristics, which were of peculiar interest to the archaeologist. An unanimous conclusion was come to that a Roman structure known to archeologists as the Jewry wall was the western gateway of the town ; but few relics of Roman inscriptions had been found in the pound. Mr. Barth read a paper on the further history of Leicester Abbey, giving full details as to the site, dimensions, and general characteristics of all buildings connected with it. In the afternoon the scene of Cardinal Wolsey's death was visited by the Institute, as well as the castle, and various other objects of interest. A paper was again read in the evening in the Masonic Hall. Archbishop Manning arrived in London yesterday morning from Rome. He will return thither again in October. M. PREVOST PARADOL.—Two letters from the distinguished French journalist and politician, who com mitted suicide the other day at Washington, are published in the Pall Mall Gazette. In the first, dated August 14th, 1869, M. Paradol says :—" This time the Emperor acts in good faith, in so far that he is desirous of rallying round him all moderate Liberals by concessions to the Parlia mentary system. But, on the one hand, the nation has no confidence in him, and, on the other, he has no confidence either in himself or in a constitutional regime. This mutual distrust, combined with the indecision (la mollesse) of his character, will most likely hinder the success of the present attempt." In another, dated February last, M. Paradol expresses his astonishment that Bonapartism should still flourish in England when it is extinct in France. If the English like the principle, he says, why do they not take the person too BRFACh OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE.—YeSterdAY at the Secondaries' Court, at Guildhall, before Mr. Secondary Potter, a writ of inquiry was heard, to award the amount of damages in an action brought in one of the superior courts for a breach of promise of marriage. The . plaintiff, Miss Frances Mary Oliver, was the daughter of the landlady of a tavern at Brockelhurst, In Hampshire, and the defendant, Mr. C. Penney, was a bo.ilcing clerk in the service of the South-Western Railway Company. He was in the habit of visiting at the house of the lady's mother, anu some five years ago—when he was about 18 years of age -he com menced paying his addresses to her. He was accepted as her suitor, but in the early part of the year the defendant declined to carry out his promise .to marry. The jury r.isessed the damages at £llO. , RDEROUS ASSAULT ON A WIFE IN LIVERPOOL. --A dreadful domestic quarrel took place in Liverpool on Tuesday, which will not unlikely prove fatal. John Flinn, a coalheaver, appears to have ill-used his wife, who is stated to have been intemperate. The daughter was entrusted with the management of the house, the wife not having the care of the money. This may have caused ill-feeling between Mrs. Flinn and her step-daughter; at any rate, they had a , It: rrel on Tuesday morning, in the course of which tl.e p. daughter threw a piece of a mug at Mrs. Flinn, which wounded her. When her husband came home at noon she told him about the girl's behaviour, and, as she alleges, her husband began to abuse her, and kicked her in the stomach. She was ultimately conveyed to the Southern Hospital, where it was found that one rib was fractured and one of her lungs was punctured. She i s hardly expected to survive. Her deposition was taken hi t' ,I•evening. In her evidence she palpably endeavoured to screen her husband as much-as possible; and it was dif ficult to elicit some facts as to the assault. • The 'husband and daughter are now in custody. TIIE SECRET TREATY. The Brussels corresposnient of the Pall Mall Gazette says :—The deepest inidEt nation had been caused by the project of treaty published in yesterday's Tim e s. \Vhatever synipeathY fot: France has previously existed among the lower classes has now vanished. It is instinctively felt that there is no occasion to doubt the authenticity of the document, as it is corroborated by the attacks made on the King of the Belgians by the French official press. The Berlin Borsenzeitung brings also the news that the four days from the 15th to the 19th of tuly were employed by the French Government to extort front Prussia as the price of peace the con sent to the cot qiiest of Belgium. It is believed, too, that the Belgian Government had knowledge in time of the project broached by France, god that the very energetic measures which it has taken to protect its neutrality are due to this timely information. The spirit of all classes of the Belgian people is superb, and they are ready to make any sacrifice for the protection of the national independence. i'llE 6USYEUTED RUBBERY. AND NUIII3EIr OF A FRENCII GENTLEMAN. _ It will be recollected that last week an inquest was held by Mr. Payne at the Essex Head, Essex-street, Strand, en the body of a young French gentleman, aged 19, named Sweeting Mortef!l, whose body was found floating in the Thames off the Temple Pier, on Sunday morning, th; 17th inst. It was proved at the inquest that the hitt.;eased was at the Oxford Music-hall on Friday evening the 15th inst., at which t'7ne he had a £l O note and a. quantity of gld and silver in his posseston, together a valuable gold watch and chain. When the body w.-ta taken out of the water there were only a few half p3:lc4; in money iti his pockets, anti no watch or chain oo.ild lie found.

VIVIAN AND LORD WATERFORD. —This case came before the Court of Divorce upon an applica tion for an order for the alteration of the marriage settle ments. The proposed alterations had been agreed to, and the Court made an order accordingly. A DIVORCE SCANDAL. —ln the Divorce Court the cause of " Eaton v. Eaton and Campbell " was set down for hearing before Lord Penzance and a special jury.— The petitioner, who was married at West Kirby, in Lan cashire, prayed for a dissolution of his marriage with his wife, who is the daughter of a canon of Chester Cathedral, on the ground of her adultery with the co-respondent, who is a rear-admiral in the navy. Before the jury were sworn, a consultation took place between the counsel, and the Solicitor-General informed his lordship that the case was settled on terms agreed on by the parties. Lord Penzance subsequently dismissed the petition. ACTIONS FOB OMNIBUS ACCIDENTS. —Several compen sation cases occupied the attention of the Court of Pas sage, Liverpool, on Tuesday, and in two of them, the Liverpool Road and Railway Omnibus Company were the defendants. In one case they had to pay £2 damages for injury caused by one of their servants driving a 'bus into a cab and throwing the driver violently to the ground. In the other case the company were mulcted in ten pounds damages because a Mrs. Bennisson had been thrown down by one of their 'busses starting off just as she was entering it. In a third com pensation case John Mills, in the employ of Messrs. Jas. Donaldson and Co., was awarded one hundred pounds damages for injuries which he had sustained through falling down the shaft of a jigger loft in the warehouse of Messrs. Deane, the accident being attributrble to a ser vant of the warehouse owners. WHOLESALE ROBBERIES BY A NOBLEMAN'S GROOM. — On Wednesday mornin at the Richmond Petty Sessions, Henry Bennett, aged '0,2 groom, said to have been for merly in the service of Lord Claud Hamilton, and now abscending from the service of Sir John Rose, of South Kensington, was charged with a number of robberies of gentlemen's clothes, blankets, sheets, &c., and also with obtaining a portmanteau on false pre tences. A large quantity of pawnbrokers' tickets were produced of property pledged by the prisoner, which was identified. At the conclusion of the evidence, the Bench retired for a consultation, and on coming into court, the chairman said, taking the youth of the prisoner into consideration, the Bench were willing to give him the option of having the case settled by them, or going before a jury.—Prisoner pleaded guilty, and begged to have the case disposed of, and the Bench sentenced 'him to six months' imprisonment with hard labour. SPECIFIC APPROPRIATION OF BILLS OF EXCHANGE. — In the Court of Appeal judgment was given in an appeal from a recent decision of Vice-Chancellor Stuart, in which the Bank of Liverpool was made liable to a bill of ex change for £2,000, it being alleged that that amount was specifically appropriated by the First National Bank of New Orleans to meet the bill on its presentation by Messrs. Thomson and Co., au American mercantile firm, who possessed an agency in Liverpool. It transpired that the plaintiffs purchased from the New Orleans Bank a bill of exchange to be drawn on the Liverpool Bank, upon the faith of the representations made by the former, that they had funds at Liverpool, out of which the bill would, be paid on maturity. Soon after the purchase, however, the New Orleans Bank, without any proceedings in bank ruptcy, suspended payment, whereupon the Liverpool Bank declined to accept the bill, although they had ample funds in their possession at the tins?, the refusal being based on the allegation that the funds in their hands had not been specifically appropriated to the bill. The Vice-Chancellor held that the plaintiffs were entitled to payment, on the ground that where a bill was pur chased on the faith of certain representations, the party who made those representations could not be permitted to withdraw the fund out of which the payment was promised to be made, thus defeating his obligations. The Lord Chancellor said that the Liverpool Bank were merely agents to the New Orleans Bank, and under ordinary circumstance their duty was to ' accept bills as long as the remittances enabled them to do so. The question, therefore, was, the Bank of New Orleans having suspended payment, whether the funds in the hands of the Liverpool Bank had been specifically appro priated to meet this particular bill. He was of opinion that no specific appropriation had taken place, and under those circumstances the decision of the Vice-Chancellor must be reversed. Lord Justice James concurred with the Lord Chancellor. It is stated, on what is pronounced by an Indian Paper to be " excellent authority," that the giant deficit in the Indian revenue had no existence after all, and that the apparent deficit was due to a blunder in the books. QUEEN'S COLLEGE, G A LWAY.—Wo regret to learn that failing health has compelled Professor J. E. Cairnes to send in his resignation of the Chair of Jurisprudence and Political Economy in this in stitution. The Lord Lieutenant of Ireland declined to re commend a reprieve for the convict Andrew Carr, who is lying in the prison at Dublin under sentence of death. The prisoner, who is reported to be penitent and prepared for his doom, will be hanged this morning. The restoration of St. Leonard's Church, Shore ditch, is being carried on at the expense of a layman—a non-parishioner—who does not wish his name to tran spire. • - •• • • The Cambridge Chronicle says that the Bishop of Worcester left his diocese for the purpose of recording his vote against the Universities Tests Bill, but was pre vented doing so in consequence of the early hour at which the division took place. THE PROPERTY OF MARRIED WOMEN.—The Married Women's Property Bill, as amended by the Lords, has just been issued among the Parliamentary papers. It contains the Bill as it originally stood, with the clauses struck out by the Lords, as well as the words and clauses inserted by the Upper House, making a sen sible difference in the structure of the Bill. THE SECRET TREATY.—Speaking of the famous document, published by the Times, the London correspon dent of the Scotsman says : —I have heard that the paper was transmitted through the Prussian Embassy, lately sent by France to Prussia, which was indeed little more than a rescript of that dispatched after Sadowa in 1866. In regard to the Ministerial answers I may remark, that while Mr. Gladstone was careful to point out that the amount of information which any Government possessed on such a matter would depend altogether on the closeness of their connection with it, and that it was for the French and Prussian Governments in this instance to offer the first explanations, neither he nor Lord Granville com mitted themselves by saying that they knew nothing of the proposed treaty, and had heard nothing of it before. By an odd coincidence, the Telegraph published a letter from one of their correspondents who had " inter viewed " the Emperor at the same time as the Times printed the " Project of a Treaty." The " Englishman," I believe, is the Hon. Mr. Lawley, with whose family the Emperor was well acquainted dur in g his residenc e in - lilngland. and with whom he has many sportinr , sympathies in common. What strikes one in reading the two accounts is, that while the Emperor, in the inter view as reported, attributes to Prussia the design of seizing Holland, he says not a word about his own craving for Belgium, while the treaty deals with the case of Belgium, but ignores Holland, except so far as the King of Holland is Sovereign of the Duchy of Luxem bourg. It may be that the Emperor, knowing that the secret proposals had reached England, wished to give the first version of the affair in his own interest, or that he and Bismarck have been simultaneously playing the same game, each accusing the other of schemes of aggran disement.
