Early this morning, during a strong N.E. wind (reports William Fowler, Esq.), signals of distress were heard from the fishing smack Choice, of Hull, which had driven from her anchorage at the entrance of the harbour, and had gone on the beach. The lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution was thereupon immediately launched and put off through a very heavy sea and a great deal of broken water, and rescued three of the crew of the smack.

Yesterday the m ind was more northerly, with a considerable fall in temperature, and though there was sunshine during a great part of the day the atmo sphere was bitterly cold, and there were, as in London and its vicinity, short but rather fast snowfalls. The snow, however, melted as it fell on the earth. At Liverpool and in Leeds similar weather prevailed. A RURAL " GANG."—liere is one now trudging its early way to the farm.

POLICE INTELLIGEfiCE.—This Day. - - MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE DERBY.—A FEMALE SERIOUSLY INJURED.—Dome trius Pankhurst, a cab proprietor, was charged before Mr. Mansfield with being drunk and incapable, and also with seriously injuring Mrs. Agnes Golding, wife of Mr. Gold ing, 38, Russell-street, Covent-garden. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared for the defence. It appears that the prisoner had been employed by Lord Arthur Clinton, staying at the Cavendish Hotel, Jermyn street, to take his servants and some wine down to the Derby. Ho returned at night with the servants to the hotel, and having left them, and no doubt havirg been well treated by them, was proceeding towards Bedford-row, when he knocked down Mrs. Golding, who with her hus band was crossing Cranbourn-street, the result being that. she was so much hurt that she was obliged to be taken to the Charing-cross Hospital, and the prisoner who was drunk was taken to the Vine-street station. • Mr. Golding deposed to his wife being knocked down by the prisoner, who was driving with great rapidity. Arthur Herring, GO C, handed to the magistrate a cer tificate signed by the house surgeon of the Charing-cross Hospital, to the effect that Mrs. Gulling was so much in jured about the head and legs that the was unable to attend the court. Mr. Mansfield remanded the prisoner, and on the appli cation of Mr. Lewis, consented to take bail for the pri soner in the sum of £lOO. Bail was tendered and ac ce pt e d. THE TAILORS' STRIKE.—A journeyman tailor came into the court this morning in a hurried manner, and asked for the magistrate's protection. He stated that he had brought some work from Mr. Poole, in Saville-row, and had been followed by some men to the door of the court, and he therefore asked for protection. Mr. Mansfield asked the applicant whether the persons had laid hands on him, or had done anything to him. The applicant said they had not. Mr. Mansfield said that if the men did or said anything to him he could interfere, but otherwise not. The applicant then retired. The British Corn Trade. (From Bell's TVeekly Messenger.) There was a short supply of wheat-from Essex and Kent at Mark-lane on Monday, which met a slow sale at the prices of the previous week for all fine fresh-thrashed qualities, but secondary sorts were dull, although these were not offered on lower terms, and some portion was left over unsold for future markets. The demand for foreign was of a l retail character, country buyers wanting to get into stock on lower terms, which no factors appeared to accept, anticipating a renewed demand in a very short time. At Mark-lane on Wednesday there were scanty fresh arrivals of English, but good im ports of foreign. English samples realised Monday's prices, with a fair steady sale. Foreign qualities were held with firmness on former terms. At Mark lane on Friday the fresh arrivals of English were very limited, but there was a liberal import of foreign. Home-grown samples in good condition sold steadily at Monday's prices for fresh-thrashed 'samples ; foreign qualities were in fair retail de. ' wand, at the quotations of Monday generally. The arrivals of English barley coastwise and by the railways were only 336 qrs., with imports of foreign amounting to 5,220 qrs. Good heavy qua lities were in fair request for feeding purposes at very full prices, and there was no quotable change in the value of other descriptions, and very little of choice malting quality now comes forward, English being well nigh exhausted ; and very short deliveries are made in all the agricultural districts, not sufficient to satisfy the wants for grinding purposes. This de ficiency throws the demand on to foreign sorts wherever they can be obtained. On Friday the arrivals coastwise were 350 qrs. and the imports of foreign 130 qrs. The demand continued to be ex clusively on grinding qualities, and these supported former prices steadily. There is a fair quantity on passage from the United States, but from other countries not much more can be expected this season except from the South of Europe later on in the season. The weekly average for oats was 255. 10d. on 3,607 qrs. against 255. 3d. on 3,899 qrs. the pre vious week ; the corresponding one of the past year was 245. 101 on 1,987 qrs. There was a short supply of wheat from Essex and Kent this (Monday) morning ; that of barley, beans, and peas was limited, with scanty arrivals of English oats by the railways, and none from Scot land or Ireland. The imports of foreign wheat and oath have been large, with a moderate quantity of other articles of the trade. English wheat met a dull sale, at a decline of fully Is. per qr. on the best qualities, and rather more on secondary sorts. The demand for foreign wheat was limited, and prices were Is. per qr. lower on the few sales effected. Town flour was unaltered. Country marks were dull, and rather lower. Foreign qualities were held on former terms. Barley was in fair request, at last week's rates for sweet grinding qualities. There was a moderate extent of business transactedin oats, at slightly under the quotations of this day se'nniglat. WESTMINSTER. THIEVES AT RAILWAYS--AN OLD PRACTITIONER. Mary Jones, a fashionably-dressed woman, about 35 years of age, was charged with having, in company with another woman, who had escaped, been at Victoria-station with intent to commit felony. Mrs. M'Gregor, the wife of a railway contractor, said hat at five o'clock last evening she was on the platform of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway, Victoria station, going to Clapham. She had £2 10s. in a purse in her dress pocket, where she found the prisoner's hand. Prosecutrix had by accident got into the wrong train. She was in a first-class carriage, and, although prisoner had only a third-claSs ticket, she came into the same carrriage, and kept getting nearer and nearer to her ; and when she was changing for the right train, the prisoner threw her self in front of her, and she felt her hand in her pocket, and saw her take it out. She stumbled and tread upon her dress at the moment, which induced her, as prosecutrix supposed, from fear of detection suddenly to withdraw her hand, leaving to the purse. Prisoner—Positively this lady is mistaken. I came up when the train was in motion, and in my haste got into a first-class carriage instead of a third. I was getting out when I discovered my mistake, and might have pressed against this lady. You did not say my hand was in your pocket when you first spoke about this last night. Did you, missis (addressing prosecutrix)? Prosecutrix—l did. I saw your hand in my pocket, and so did the guard. The guard in question said -he weal to the 5.5 train, which goes into the City, to examine the tickets, and asked prisoner to produce hers. She had not got it, but a friend who was with her produced two third-class tickets for Moorgate-street. Witness asked her if she did not know the difference between a first and third class carriage, when prisoner, who was next to prosecutrix, said that another friend intended to pay the difference of fare at the end of the journey. Ile told theta they must leave the carriage at once ; and at the same time the prosecutrix did, she having by mistake got into the London and Dover train instead of the London and Brighton to go to Clapham. Both prosecutrix and prisoner left the carriage at the same instant, and he saw the prisoner with her left hand in prosecutrix's pocket. Mr. Self. —Had you seen the prisoner before ? Witness—She and her friend had before this been in a first-class carriage where there was a single lady. Then they got in where prosecutrix was. Mr. Selfe —What became of the other? Witness—She escaped. Prisoner—This is quite a mistake. Mr. Selfe—Where is your friend ? SI I Prisoner—She was no friend of mine. Mr. Selfe—She had your ticket. It was stated that there had been several convictions against the prisoner. She was remanded. LINES LEASED AT IeIXICD RENTALei.

The following resolution was unanimously adopted :—" That this meeting is of opinion that an ap plication be made to the Government by the Irish peers and members of Parliament in favour of the purchase of the Irish railways by the State." It was arranged that the views of the meeting should be placed before Lord Derby by z erns of a deputation. THE QUEEN OF 71IE BEES. In every hive there are a queen, male bees or drones, and workers, which are of no gender, or rather dre undeveloped females. The queen is considerably larger than the drone, and the drone is about as much larger than the working bee. There is never more than one queen in a hive, and if a stranger queen should happen by accident, or in the indul gence of their curiosity, to enter a hive in which her au thority is not recognised, the bees who acts as guards at the entrance instantly seize her, and though their respect for royalty is too groat to allow of theii ill-treating her, they crowd upon her so closely that she cannot escape, and they do not release her until their own queen arrives to do battle in defence of her lawful rights. The conduct of the commonalty under such circum stances is exceedingly remarkable ; they could put the intruder to death if they chose, without suffering their own queen to run the risk of being killed, but they do not do so ; they act strictly on the principle of fair-play ; at the same time they will not allow the combatants to separate until the victory is achieved by one o them. The instant their queen makes her appearance attended by a number of her subjects, those who hold the stranger in custody draw back, and leave a clear space for the encounter. lf, as rarely happens, the two sovereigns have no desire to fight, or if they try to run away, the workers seize them, and will on no account allow them to indulge their cowardice ; they are never allowed to quit the arena, nor to cease fighting until one is killed. Huber relates several experiments made by him with the view of ascertaining if this conduct of the bees were inva riable, and he found that it was ; whether the combatants were two queens, both engaged in laying eggs, or a fertile queen and a virgin queen, or two virgin queens. A very singular circumstance in connexion with these encounters is, that both manifest the greatest horror of using their stings whenever in the course of the fight they findthemselves in a position to kill each other. In such cases they ooparate, and show now desire to renew the fight ; but the spectators lay hold of them, and draw them back into the cleared space, and compel them to face each other again. It is not often, how ever, that the queen of the hive requires any compulsion to fight. Her jealousy of a rival is of the most intense character; and if two emerge from their cells at the same moment, their first act is to rush at each other and settle by a single combat which is to rule ; they will no more consent to a divided jurisdiction than the workers themselves would permit it. In this respect the example of the competi tors for the throne might be imitated with advantage to humanity by human competitors ; they do not suffer or invite their future subjects to engage in a civil war in support of their respective claims, but decide the ques tion by the simple process of fighting it out in their own persons. . . . There are occasions, however, when the jealousy of the queen has to be restrained in the interest of the commu nity ; this is especially the case when a portion of the hive is about to quit it for a separate habitation in consequence of the increase of their numbers. The emigrants on these occasions are led by the old queen, and a new queen is libe rated to take her place in the hive as soon as she departs. But if at the moment the colony is about to emerge the weather becomes overcast, and rain either falls or threatens to fall, the emigration will be delayed, and • the constant watchfulness of the guard appointed•to protect the young queen is necessary to prevent her mother from putting her to death, and from tearing open the calls containing the royal brood, and killing the occupants. The guards do not treat her with disrespect or unkindness, but they are firm. It is said that she sometimes paralyses their movements by emitting a low humming sound, precisely as if she were addressing them, and then tries to take advantage of the effect she produces to renew her attempt; but the instant she beco►nes silent they awake to the sense of their duty, if indeed they have ever forgotten it in listen ing to her.—Once a Week. FOREIGNERS' ADMIRATION FOR CLEANLINESS. " I shall never forget a story told me once of an Euglish tourist pedestrianising in Sardinia, who, halting one sun down at a very primitive village inn, though he might make himself somewhat tidier and morn comfortable by a good wash. So, procuring a tub and some hot water, he proceeded as a preliminary measure to wash his feet. It is presumable that the people of the inn had never before seen an Englishman, if, indeed, anybody, taking a foot-bath; at all events, heads were popped in at the door; curious eyes peeped through the windows; shrill exclamations, seem ingly feminine, of 'Santa Maria purissinta ." were heard. The thing got noised abroad. It was spoken of at the fountain. The brigadier of gendarmerie twirled his mou stachios, and determined to ask the Forestiero for his pass port so soon as his feet were dry. But the population were pleased. Merry groups saluted the Englishman as, washed and combed, he came from his toilette. A song in honour of him was improvised. It was a most glorious sunset. Suddenly there was a cry of ' Unafesta una festa ." Never was a festival sooner gotten up. Tables and benches were heaped in a corner, and the population began to dance. I believe they kissed the Englishman, and that he stood' penn'orths of wine all round. They brought out the oldest man in the village, set him in an arm-chair, and crowned him with flowers. The cure came out of his house and blessed them. Somebody bought a squib and let it off. It was fairy land. It was patriarchal. The golden age had come again."—Sala's Last Book. THE FORTHCOMING HORSE Snow.— Yesterday the arrangements for the forthcoming horse show at the Agricultural Hall, Islington, were finally completed for the reception of the animals to compete for prizes, and who will all have to be in their places to-morrow. The judging will take place on b'aturday, on which day the show opens. The show is divided into 17 classes, and will contain some of the finest thoroughbred hunters which the kingdom can produce. The entries for the leaping prizes, which are to be competed for on the York shire principle, as well as for the trotting prizes, are ex ceedingly numerous. The extra prize—the Agricultural Hall gold medal, presented by Mr. Henry Dodd, ono of the directors, for the best cob not exceeding seven years old, and up to 16 stone has produced a host of competi tors. A DREADFUL BGRE.—A modern Magliabechi has turned up in St. George's Blind Schodl, Southwark. A young man there repeats from memory the whole of " Paradise Lost," with the marginal notes and biographical preface, the 150 Psalms, and Gold smith's "Deserted Village," to say nothing of such trifles as three or four hymnals, and a considerable amount of %140deru poetry.—South London Pm% THAMES. ROBBERY ON BOARD SHIP. - John Skinner, the ship keeper of a vessel called the City cf Adelaide, lying in the London-dock, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with stealing six ounces of tea, a quantity of metal, two boxes of sardines, and other property. Yesterday evening the prisoner IN as stopped as he was leaving the dock by a constable, who found in his pockets six ounces of tea and some brass tubing, which he said he had picked up. He was detained, and he then said that the steward of the ship City of Adelaide cave him the tea and the metal. The constable discovered that the brass tubing had been torn from the walls of the cabin. On searching the prisoner's berth in the forecastle two boxes of sardines and several tins of preserved food were dis covered, which ]tad been taken from the ship's store-room. Charles Young, cook and acting steward of the City of Adelaide, said the tea produced had never been in the ship, and he never gave anything to the prisoner. Mr. Partridge fined the prisoner 40s. for the unlawful possession of the tea and metal found upon hitt,. MARKE TS. T ids day. METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

THE GREAT EASTERN.—MEETING OF THE CREDITORS.--A private meeting of the creditors of the Great Eastern Steamship Company on account of the French charterers, was held on Monday, in the Law Association Rooms, Liverpool. The position of affairs would appear to be even worse than has hitherto been represented. It was stated that the French company had disbursed £93,000, that their liabilities wore £153,000, and that there assets might be taken at £33,000. It should be understood, however, that Messrs. Forrester's claim was £51,000 ; that they have a lien on a portion of the fittings on board valued at £22,000. The meeting considered— first, whether or not the charter to the French company was a regular one ; and secondly, whether or not the Great Eastern Steamship Company had a right to invest in Messrs. Forrester any preferential claim. The credi tors will most probably get Bs. Bd. in the pound only, and that after considerable delay. An agent of the French company, who was to bare met the creditors last week, has, it i was stated, not come forward with an explanation, or, in act, had an interview with the creditors at all. ton GLASGOW'S AUTOGRAPH.- --We take the following anecdote from the turf items furnished to the American Turf, Field, and Farm by its London correspon dent :—" The mention of Lord Glasgow's name reminds me of an amusing anecdote of his lordship, which he him self tells with great gusto.

Befor3 giving change the clerk, in accordance with the usual custom, requested him to endorse the note with his name, and on his lordship's complying with the mandate, and returning the note to the official, the latter, after a contemptuous glance at the sig nature, Glasgow,' tossed it back to the owner, exclaiming indignantly, with the air of a man whose time was too precious to be trifled with, Put your own name to it, and not the name of the place you want to go to, you old fool r The denouement, as the penny novels have it, is better imagined than described.".

In answer to the Earl of SISAFTESBURY, The Earl of DERBY said that these young ladies had arrived at Sheffield, and that the best course which could bo pursue' was, as they were advised, to seek out the nearest religious place where they would be received.

THE IRISH REFORM BILL. Viscount ENFIELD gave notice that on an early day he should call the attention of the house to the impro priety of postponing the introduction of the Irish Reform Bill until after Whitsuntide. THE ENGLISH REFORM BILL. Mr. GREGORY gave notice that be should move an atuendineut to the clause moved by Mr. P. Scrope, to the effect that the landlord should be called upon to pay half the rates for all tenants under £4. Sir A. AGNEW asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the provision in the bill for the Representation of the People, clause 23, as to providing separate polling places " as nearly as possible" f o r every 200 electors was or whether it to be considered compulsory in eve r y case ; was meant that such arrangements should beat the discre tion of the local authorities iu their several counties? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCUER said the arrangement was not compulsory, but t eas left to the dis cretion of the local officers. THE GAS COMPANIES. Mr. LOCKE asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when the accounts of the Metropolitan Gas Companies for the year 1866 would be laid upon the table, iu compliance with s. 41 of the Act 23 and 24 Vie. c. 125 ? Mr. tiARDY said the accounts mentioned were annual returns, and it was not possible to present them at so early a period, mcre especially as they were not at present nearly complete. THE SOUTH EENSIN GTON MUSEUM. Mr. B.ENTINCK asked the Vic e-President of the Com mittee of Council whether the secraetar, if so secretary what waerrte he Dep meut of Science and Art had been-appointed director of the South Kensington Muse um ; whether two a ssistant directors had also been appointed; and, their name, duties, and salaries veliether the director d assistant directors were to act independently of the "art referees" in the selection of objects for purchase; and whether it was true, as stated in the public journals, that purchases had been already made at the Paris Exhibition by the Science and Art Department ; and whether such. purchases had the approval of the art referees. Lord R. MONTAGU said it was quite true that the Secretary of the Department of Science and Art had been appointed Director of the South Kensington Museum, but it had been done ten years ago. Three gentleman had also been appointed assistant directors, but the salaries of each had not at present been altered. These gentlemen would not act independent of the art referees, and it was not true that purchases had been already made on the part of the South Kensington Museum at the Paris Exhibition. A LLEGED ESCAPE FROM A CONVENT. Mr. WHALLEY asked the Secretary of State for Vas Home Department whether his attention had been giv en to a statement in the Tunes newspaper of the 11.. h of May, that six young ladies had escaped from a con vent at Glossop, and having walked to Sheffield, a dis tance of twenty-live miles, were there taken charge of by the police, and by them banded over to another con vent called _Notre Dame, at the request of the Superior ot the convent from which they had escaped ; whether it was his opinion that the police at Sheffsld were justified in so acting; whether any inquiry Nv ould be instituted as to the circumstances connected with this escape; and, generally, whether any, and what means were ava fable for affording protection to any such persons against detention iu con vents against their will? Mr. lIArDY said, iu accordance with the directions of; the right hon. gentleman his predecessor in office, a lette r had been addressed to the mayor of SheffieA asking for information on the subject. A letter bad been received iron that gentlennte, stating that the place from which the girls ran away was a school at tached to a convent, and that thinking themselves ill treated they had ran away ; and on their arrival in Sheffield, and finding themselves without means, they applied to a police-constable for advice, and by him, they were directed to the police, where they were very kindly treated, and their friends communicated with. The Mayor of Sheffield in his letter stated it was all a very pretty story of "much ado about nothing." The Govern ment did not intend to make any further in quiry into the matter than had already been done, and if the girls were ill-treated it was the duty of the father to protect his child from cruelty of any description. It was, of course, never expected that accommodation for a bevy of runaway school girls would be required at any police station. (Laughter.) • o 1 • oz DISTRESS IN IRELAND. Mr. REARDEN asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if any and what steps had been taken by her Majesty's Go vernment for the immediate relief of the almost famine stricken poor in extensive districts of the west of Ireland. Lord NAAS said much distress unfortunately existed in Connemara, but some public works had commenced, which is was hoped would give employment to a large number of persons. Everything that was possible to alleviate the distress would be done, and it was to be hoped with good effect. TIIE REPORTED MUTINY OF TROOPS IN INDIA. Mr. STANSFELD asked whether the Government had received any official information relative to the reported outbreak amongst the troops in India? Sir S. NORTHCOTE said the Government bad no further information than that published in the newspapers. THE REFORM BILL. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was not intended to proceed with the Scotch bill that even ing. With respect to the amendment of the hon. mem ber for Newark, it could be dealt with by clauses in the bill. With respect to the manner iu which it was proposed to go on with the bill, ho thought it would be right, especially as there had been some discussion on the thirty-fourth clause, after they had decided upon the fourth clause, which sot out the county franchise, that they should at once proceed to consider clause 34, and thus dispose of the matter as soon as possible. He should also propose that next week there should be morning sittings on Tuesdays and Fridays, at which they could proceed with the other clauses of the Reform Bill. (Hear, hear.) He thought it would be very desirable that some alteration in the hours of sitting should be made, and he thought it would be productive of great convenience if they commenced their sitting at two o'clock in the afternoon and continued until seven, and then suspeed the sitting from seven until nine o'clock. He thought from seven to nine the time at which the greatest disinclination for business existed in the house. He would not make any formal motion then, but after his proposals bad bean thought over by hon. gentlemen opposite, he would on Monday make the motion in accordance with the suggestions he had just given to the house. HABEAS CORPUS ACT (IRELAND) CONTINU ANCE BILL. On the motion for the second reading of this bill, • Mr. MAGUIRE made a very vigorous and energetic speech, accusing the English Parliament with slighting - the wants of Ireland, and that state of things had brought about the Fenian conspiracy. He condemned the manner in which the trials of the Feniane conspirators had taken place, and concluded by asking the Government to pursue a more liberal course of policy towards Ireland, which would do away with all necessity for passing bills for the suspension of the Habeas Corpus. Mr. ROEBUCK replied to the hon. member, and said that any person who alleged that Parliament had wilfully disregarded the wants of Ireland iu order trie o serve " private purposes uttered a gigantic falsehoo d. sof order." The SPEAKER decided such language was un parliamentary. Mr. ROEBUCK said if he had uttered anything that was untrue he would withdraw it. (Hear, hear.) [ LEFT SITTING.
