MARLBOROUGH-STREET. GREAT INCREASE OF BEGGING AT THE WEST -END.—This morning several children were brought before Mr. Tyr whitt, charged by Longcroft and Cane, plain clothes con stables of the 0 division, with begging. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed two girls, named , Connor and Clancey, who were beggi ng under the pretence of selling flowers, for seven days each. In another case Mr. Tyr whitt remanded a boy named Regan, with the view of as certaining whether there was a vacancy on board the ship Cornwall ; and in a third case two boys, named Cain and Lejure, were sent to the workhouse for a few days prior to being sent to Peltha,m, Mr. Tyrwhitt remarking —" A new wing must be built to the school at Fultham for the boys who come to this court. lam suro we shall want it." Several men and women, charged with bogging, were committed fur different terms. During the past few days a large number of beggars have been brought to the court, and several boys sent to Feltham. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday a meeting of the Common Council was held at Guildhall for the despatch of business, and there was an unusually large attendance of members. The LORD MAYOR, on assuming the chair, said he desired to snake a communication, of which the Court, no doubt, had in effect been made aware through the public journals. lle referred to the announcement which had been made to him by Lord Derby, that her Majesty had been graciously pleased to confer upon him the dignity of a baronet and upon the two Sheriffs the honour of knighthood, in consideration of the magnificent reception given by the Corporation to his Imperial Majesty the S'Lltan, and of the entertainment to his highness the Viceroy of Egypt, at the Mansion-house. (Cheers.) Ile need hardly say how gratifying such a dis tinguished mark of her Majesty's favour AN - •as to him s;lf on personal grounds, and bearing in mind also that it placed the Corporation in its accustomed position on occasions of such high national concern and rejoicing as the entertainment by it of crowned heads who were the honoured guests of the reign ing Sovereign. To himself it would always be a matter for congratulation that he was associated with the Corporation of London, because it was to that circumstance that the honour ho had received was attributable. That consideration would operate as an additional stimulant to him to promote the in terests of the Corporation, and he could only hope that his descendants on whom, after him, the dignity would fall, would always remember the circum stances under which it was conferred. The prompt, hearty, and graceful manner in which it had been bestowed had greatly enhanced the compliment in his estimation, as he had no doubt it would also in that of the Common Council. (Cheers.) The TOWN CLERK (Mr. Woodthorpe) read the communication as follows : "25, St. James-square, July 29. "My dear Lord,—l am happy to say that I received from the Queen last night her Majesty's sanction to my recom mendation that, the dignity of a baronet of the 'United kingdom should be conferred upon your lordship, in com memoration of the visits of the two illustrious potentate;, the Sultan and his powerful vassal, the Viceroy of Egypt, whom your lordship has had the distinguished honour of receiving, on behalf of the city, in a manner worthy in all respects of this great metropolis. " Her Majesty has beon further pleased to direct that the honour of knighthood should be conferred upon the two Sheriffs who have been associated with your lordship upon the occasion. " I have much pleasure in offering to you my congratu lations upon your well-merited honour, and have the honour to be, my dear lord, " Yours faithfully, "To the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor." ~" DERBY. • (Cheers.) Mr. Deputy OBBARD, as the senior member of the Court, congratulated the Lord Mayor in their name on the high honour which her Majesty had been pleased to confer upon him, and which, he said, might be regarded as a compliment paid through the city of London to the country at large. (Hear, hear.) On the motion of Mr. STAPLETON, chairman of the City Lands Committee, seconded by Mr. T. S. RICHARDS, chairman of the Bridge House Estates Committee, the letter of the Premier was ordered to be entered on the journals as a perpetual memo rial of the. occasion. Alderman and Sheriff WATERLOW availed himself of the opportunity to express the pride he felt at the gracious proof of her M ljesty's favour he was about to receive. lie was aware, at the same time, that it was bestowed on him in consideration of his official relationship to the Lord Mayor, and of his connection with the Common Council, and it would always afford an additional incentive to him to sup port on all occasions the prestige and dignity of the Corporation. (Cheers.) _ _ Mr. Sheriff LYCETT, for whom there were repeated calls, also briefly expressed his sense of the high honour which had been beitowed upon him. BUNIIILL FIELDS. The CITY SOLICITOR (Mr. Nelson) reported that the Royal assent had been given to an act for the preservation of Bunhill-fiQlds burial ground. Mr. C. REED congratulated the Court on the satisfactory settlement of this question, after so protracted a struggle, remarking at the same time it was cause for regret that the great body of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners should have interposed obstacles to its settlement. From 1864 to 1867 he said the question hail been before ,the Corporation, and it was only upon an appeal to the House of Commons that the inviolability of the burial ground had been settled on an imperial basis. He moved that it be referred to a committee to carry the act into execution. The motion was adopted. Enterprise in Ireland. Peter Tait, mayor of Limerick, employer of some 1,000 hands, partner, too, in the largest drapery house in the city, has been little more than a dozen years in making his fortune out of three half-crowns which were all his wealth when, a poor Scotch lad, be took service under the firm of Arnott and Can nock. He began to make money by Australian shirts. Then he got a contract for militia boots, and he was rejoicing in his luck when all his goods were returned on his hands. Instantly he went to London, sought out friendly M.P., and said, " There must be some favouritism here, for I know my things are good, and quite up to sample." His friend got the boots re-examined, and the contract was confirmed. Tait was a made man. He ran the block ade, too, and supplied the South with something very different from the New York shoddy. He now makes a great deal for our own army, besides cloth. ing the Irish constabularly, and doing odd jobs for foreign Powers, like that which the Prussians gave him the other day. Thus, if he is not altogether a manufacturer—for, though he makes Limerick lace, and uses a good deal of Irish frieze, the bulk of his cloth is woven in Leeds—he has at any rate shown that Irish industry may be, with common care and perseverance, remuneratively diverted into non agricultural channels. Care and perseverance, those are rare qualities everywhere ; rarer, people say, and the state of things seems to prove the as sertion, in Ireland than elsewhere. The cry for Irish manufacture has frequently been heard. It was often in O'Connell's mouth, it was loudly raised by the Young Ireland party. At one meeting, for instance, a good deal was said about Irish pot tery; some good clay had been discovered, and henceforth no true patriot would- - use any cups, or plates, or basins that were not home-made. A Staffordshire man was among the company. Out he walked, and wrote off home, " Make a lot of ee rockseh:e atrpe had t ra h oo df i wan round rda s heco o heus f v. tg,all every one, nit This e , withwge a at n atn d si do, done, an a patriotic" no utlrish border athned lharprbefore oc crockery,f s l a yhm i r a the ee Irish markets the sale of which had made the cunning English man's fortune. Well, care and perseverance have made Peter Tait the the largest employer of labour in Lime rick. His place is well worth a visit. The long work room contains 150 sewing machines, which employ 500 work girls. All goes by steam ; so that the doctors, who cry out about the evil effects of the machines in the London slopshops, can now point out a remedy. The ventilation is perfect, and the neatness and modest look of the girls contrast strongly with what one sees in Yorkshire or Lan cashire mills. Of course in other rooms there are cutting machines which go through twenty-four thicknesses of cloth as easily as you would cut a piece of cheese, and pressing irons heated inside with gas, and all the most modern adjuncts of a great clothing establishment. But the main point is, that these girls, who would else have been picking up a wretched livelihood by making a little lace and hawking it about the streets, get here from Bs. to 108. a week, and all are so good that when a young woman of loose ways of talk gets among them they at once send up a deputation and respectfully insist on her being removed. People can't all be Taits ; and, if they were, there is not room in the world for any unlimited number of army clothiers. But there are other businesses in which cheap, "natty" labour,ivewhen hsetatchtheasy are Irisphrowpoermlyenset t (ando work,men too) can give is the main requisite. Why should not cheap bookbinding be done in Ireland ? Messrs. Wood, of Belfast, who shoW so many things in the Paris Exhibition, prove that good bookbinding is as pos sible now as it was in the days of the old saints. But surely at Cork, or some other southern town, an enterprising man might bind cheaply and well for public offices and private companies, and might make ledgers and such like at rates with which English houses could not compete. The trade would be a small one ; but Ireland is not in a condition to despise the day of small things. Before Irishmen, however, can hope to do anything in this way they must leave off that abominable habit of detraction which has always been their besetting sin. It is sickening to hear two priests—worthy, useful men in their way, but who certainly look as if whatever amount of self-denial is imposed on them by their creed, agreed most admirably with their health—discussing, for instance, the new boat which their Mayor has trought over from Glasgow for the good of the Limerick citizens. He has halved the fares, doubled the speed, and quadrupled the accommodation, and every think ing man believes him when he says he does not wish to make a penny by the venture, but only to give the people readier access to their Brighton at Kilkee, and to attract strangers by offering them a steamer of which any city might be proud. Yet one clerical person grumbles out, in his lazy Western speech, " Taaait's no. fool ;" and his companion, grinning, replies, " Taaait's wide awake. His £5,000 at 5 per cent. would not be bringing in so much as that boat does." " Aye, and see his notice stuck up, Dinner on board at half-a-crown, and the best liquors at maaderate pr ices."raaait knows what he's about. Who'd eat half a- crown's worth when the boat's rolling with a fresh wind?" And then a lay friend chimes in, and finds fierce fault because the steamer was not re christened with an Irish name. That's the way Irishmen treat those who do for them what they won't do for themselves; and that's all the reward " Taaait" gets for his welldoing. No, it is not; for, besides wincing a fortune, he has won the re spect and goodwill even of those among whom he lives; though they can't for the life of them get quite rid of the fault-finding, they do admire hini in spite of it. WESTMINSTER• A SOLDIER, TRIED TEN TIMES BY COURT MARTIAL -- Frederick Cooke, a private of the Grenadier Guards, was charged with the following outrngeous conduct to a trades man in York-street, Westminster, of the condition of which place there have of late been serious complaints made. Mr. Henry Wright, corn chandler, SG, York-street, said that last evening ho was sitting in his shop, when the pri soner buddenly entered it from the back premises and said he wanted to pass through into the street. As com plainant did not know where ho came from, what he was doing there, or what he might have done, ho told him he could not go through his shop, and had no business there. Defendant turned round and triod to get over a back wall, and on complainant endeavouring to prevent him, defen dant struck him three or four times in the face and gave him a black eye. Defendant appeared excited, but com plainant could not say whether ho - was under the influence of liquor. Mr. Selfe—What have you to say to this, defendant ? Defendant—l broko out of barracks, that's all, and wanted to get through this man's place. His yard is at the back of the barracks. Mr. Selfe—ls there any man from the regiment here to speak to defendant's character ? sergeant of the Grenadiers handed up a written cha racter of defendant, and said , —" This man has been ten times corrected by military conrts-martial." Dennis (the court gaoler)—This man has also been charged* with felony, and, upon conviction, received 18 months' imprisonment. Complainant—Of course this is a great annoyance to m• I could not let this man through my place. I did not know what he might not have dole. Mr. Selfe—His conduct is very disgraceful. 1 shall com mit him for six months to hard labour. Defendant—Thank you. I wish it was six years. TRAM.q. A VIRAGO.—Ann Riley, an Aish laundress, about 40 years of ago, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with assaulting and wounding W hilhelwina Ulthorpe, a poor woman, who appeared in court with a surgical bandage round her head. The complainant, a native of Germany, said her husband was a sugar baker, and that they rented a small house, No. 3, Lower Grove-street, St. George-in-the-East. The pri soner and her husband were lodgers, and very bad ones They wore in the practice of making a disturbance in their apartment every night. Yesterday as the prisoner was going out she expostulated with her, and asked her why she made so much noise every night. The prisoner immediately struck her on the head with a key and inflicted a severe wound, from which she bled profusely. Police-constable 262 A took the prisoner into custody this morning. When the charge was preferred at the station-house, she said "Yes, I'll tell you how it was done, the German old beast. This will be the worst day's work she ever did." The acting inspector told the prisoner that she had better tell her story to the magistrate. The prisoner, in defence, said she never struck the com plainant, who, she alleged, was wounded by her daughter in-law, Catherine Riley, on Wednesday night last. The complainant denied the accuracy of the prisoner's statement. Mr. Paget adjourned the case for the attendance of Dr. Budgett, of Back Church-lane, who attended the com plainant, the prisoner's daughter-in-law and other wit nesses, and the further hearing of the case will be resumed this evening. LONDONDERRY AND ENNISKILLEN RAILWAY. MEETING THIS DAY. T held to-day at their offices, 4, Coleman street—J.cotr.the chairman, pre ph a e n o y r di nary s a r y h a lf-yearly general meeting of this Clay, Esq., M.P., pre siding. The report, an abstract of which has already been publiihed in The Sun, was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report and statement of accounts, said that he was satisfied the hopes held out by the report of an increase in the traffic of the company would be realised,-, but be. eras not in a position to state what the probable result would be until the secretary had some further communication with the Irish North-Western Railway Company, with which negotiations had been entered into. He entered into facts and figures to show that the company was in a prosperous condition. The report was unanimously adopted, and the proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. DR. MANNING ON THE PAPACY. Upon the occasion of the celebration of the fes tival of St. Ignatius Loyola, at the church of the Jesuits, Farm-street, Berkeley-square, on Wednes day morning, the R ev . D r. M ann i ng d e li v ered a long address upon th e d octr i nes of t h e P a p ac y, the subject being suggested by his recent visit to Rome. He announced that it was his intention to make known what took place there in a more permanent way for the use of the clergy of his diocese. He declared that the more he thought of the scene which was then presented the larger its propor tions seemed to grow, and the less able he felt adequately to describe it. The beauty, splendour, and majesty of wh a t passe d i n that city was altogether beyond hi s power of expression. He could not hope to convey to them a proper idea of what he beheld wh en h e saw the Vi car o f our Divine Lori, the successor o f S t. Peter, offering the Holy Eucharist over the tomb of the Apostle in the great basilica of the world. While men outside the Church were disputing as to the interpretation of of the the words "Thou ar t P eter, and upon thi s rock I will build my Chu rc h , " half the ep i sc opacy world assembled in R ome, an d gave th e ir sense of the interpretation. U pon Peter, as a person , th e Church of God was built. At the great festival there was visible amongst them tne successor of St. Peter himself. The gathering in Rome of 500 bishops from all parts of the earth, professing and cherishing the same great and glorious doctrines, proved the universality of the Roman Catholic faith. Its union was such that it was identical in all parts. It never assumed any national character. It was the same everywhere. lie doubted whether there was ever so famous an example before of its uni versality. Every form of language in the civilised world, and beyond the civilised world, was spoken there. On Whit-Sunday he found himself at the Holy Mass, in the Cistino Chapel, between an Armenian patriarch and an Arabian bishop. They could not speak Latin, and knew no other language than their own, yet in their hearts and his there was iNscootrdonaly v the universality bout as a single particle o f not doetrine divergence or . d o r of the Catholic religion thus exhibited, but also its unanimity. Was there anything in the world more wonderful than this? It had been absurdly said that the Pope feared such a council as that which assembled. Why the fact was that it was suggested by the Sovereign Pontiff himself. As to the result of this important gathering of the bishops, he firmly believed that it would awaken in the Church of God throughout the world a consciousness of the unity, universality, and authority of the Church to which they belonged. It would give a hundred-fold strength. It would vindicate its liberty and spiritual freedom. LIVERPOOL COTTON 111 ARKE7—This Day. i p, The market opens steady at yesterday's rates. Sales probably 10,000 bales. THE BREADALBANE PEERAGE AND ESTATES.— This highly important case will be heard before the House of Lords on Tuesday next, on which occasion a great number of witnesses will be produced for examina tion at the bar. Testimony of a very strange and romantic haracter will, it is a, ticipated, be disclosed. The appeal from the Court of Session in Scotland, with reference to whether the marriage of the grandfather and grandmother of Mr. Campbell, of Glenfalloch, be valid, has no connec tion whatever with the present claim to the title and estates of the late ]Marquis of Dreadalhane. THE BOARD OF WORKS. Mr. ISAACS, chairman of the Coal, Corn, and Finance Committee, asked whether the representa tives of the Corporation at the Metropolitan Board of Works were aware that Sir John Thwaites, the chairman, had stated in his evidence before the Local Government and Taxation Committee of the House of Commons that direct taxation in the me tropolis had reached its highest limit; and also that the Board was in want of funds to complete the im provements it had already undertaken. He likewise asked if they could give the Court any information that would reconcile the apparently inconsistent action of the Board in pressing their Improvement Rate Bill, the object of which was to aid to that direct taxation which was said to have already reached its highest limit, and for their declining, iu the event of the defeat of the same bill, to co-ope rate with the corporation for the passing of the London Coal and Wine Duties Continuance Bill, which would have given to them and the corporation unitedly nearly a million sterling. Mr. J. E. SAUNDERS, in reply, said he believed Sir John Thwaites gave the evidence referred to, but whether that evidence was to be interpreted as the opinion of the Board or of the chairman individu ally he was not prepared to say. As to the second question, he could only say that it had been pub licly stated by the chairman of the Board that in interviews they had had with the Government it was distinctly understood that no continuance of the London coal and wine duties should be allowed for the purpose of finishing the Thames embank ment unless at the same time a direct Improvement rate was imposed. Mr. Deputy Fnv said that so far from there being an understanding of that kind, Mr. Gladstone, then Chancellor of the Exchequer, had imposed, as a con dition to the continuance of the coal and wine duties the levying of a _rate for purposes of improvement, and if, on the change of Government, there had been a proper co-operation between the Metropolitan Board and the corporation, the Coal and Wine Duties Bill, pure. and simple, would have been carried . . Mr. SAUNDERS said the Metropolitan Board had powers of taxation for purposes of improvement almost unliMited, except that they were governed by public opinion. They proposed now that a bill should be brought in limiting their powers of taxa tion for purposes of improvement to a 4(.1. rate, one half to be charged upon the owners and the other upon the occupiers of property. THE GUILDHALL. On the motion of Mr. STAPLETON, c h a i r man of the City Lands Committee, who stated that during the last 15 years the corporation had expended about £50,000 in all in adapting the Guildhall to great State ceremonials, it Was resolved by a majo rity of 11 iu a court of 97 members—" the repeated and heavy expenditure which takes place at the Guildhall on every occasion of public recep tion affords evidence of the insufficiency of the ac commodation at the disposal of the corporation for such purposes, while the space available for the library and museum has also been declared altoge ther insufficient ; that therefore it is desirable some comprehensive and well-considered plan for provid ing permanently for such objects should be at once p re pared and laid be fore this court, and that t be i referred to such a committee as this court shall direct to obtain a plan and estimate accordingly.'! On the motion of Dr. Saunders, it was resolved in effect to retain the building in Guildhall-yard, re cently erected for the reception of the Sultan, for the use of .the Corporation until after the 9th of Novem bernext, Lord Mayor's day. THE RECEPTION OF THE SULTAN. At the instance of Mr. Deputy WHITE, the thanks of the Court were unanimously voted to the Special 119ception Committee for theltdrairablo arrange ments made by them in carrying into effect the re solution of the Court for receiving his Imperial Ma- I jesty the Sultan on his visit to this Corporation, which resulted in giving entire satisfaction to his Imperial Majesty and also to the numerous and dis tinguished visitors who honoured the Corporation with their presence on the occasion. Mr. Depty FRY, the chairman of the Entertain ment Committee, replied that they had vied with each other in making the reception in every respect worthy of the illustrious . Potentate in whose honour it was given, and of the Corporation, and he bore testimony to the cordial co-operation of the Lord Mayor on the occasion. COMMON CMER AND SERGEANT-AT -ARMS. Mr. John Alexander Bed,lome, who had held it provisionally for some time, was unanimously chosen from among 13 candidates to fill the ancient and honourable office of Common Crier and Sergeant at-Arms to the Corporation of L'ndon. THE RECTORY OF ST. PETER, CORNHILL. The Court next proceeded to elect a clergyman to the vacant office of Rector of St. Peter-upon- Cornhill, the right of presentation to which benefice being in the Corporation. The candidates were the Venerable William Emery, 8.D., Archdeacon of Ely; the Rev. Francis Osborne Giffard, M.A., of St. John's College, Oxford, vicar of Hartley, Win tney, Hants; and the Rev. Richard Whitting ton, M.A., Trinity College, Cambridge, one of the Masters of Merchant Taylors' School, and evening Lecturer of St. Peter, Cornhill. They were first re duced to two by poll—namely, to Mr. Whittington and Archdeacon Emery, the former having a con siderable majority of votes. Upon that Archdeacon Emery gracefully declined to go to a poll, and the election fell upon Mr. Whittington as a matter of course. The Archdeacon, who is reported to be a man of great energy and high character, appeared to have made a most favourable impression upon the Court. He greatly distinguished himself as a scholar at the City of London School, and after wards at the University of Cambridge, where he became a high wrangler, but, unfortunately for himself on this occasion, he entered late in the field as a candidate for the benefice on its becoming vacant. TIIE SULTAN AND THE POOR OF LONDON. The LORD MAYOR, replying to questions by Mr. Deputy Farrar and Mr. Bennett, said his Imperial Majesty the Sultan in sending him £2,500 to be distributed among the poor of London had left the disposal of the money to his absolute discretion, and that he meant to apportion his Imperial Majesty's bounty among such of the humane institutions as dealt more immediately with the homeless and des titute poor, rather than attempt to distribute it himself among individuals. Mr. BENNETT commended the intention of the Lord Mayor in that respect. The Court then adjourned. THE LOSS OF HER , MAJESTYS' SHIP OSPREY. PoRTSMOUTII, Friday. The court-martial assembled to try Commander Menzies and Navigating Lieutenant Christian, of the late ship Osprey, for the loss of that vessel off Cape St. Frances, on the 30th of last May, resumed their sitting on board the flag ship Victory this morning. Commander Menzies was called upon for his defence, which he read to the Court?. From the time he took command of the ship in March, 1865, he had never ceased to feel that the lives of all in the vessel were entrusted to him. He had never spared himself day or night in order to safely conduct the Osprey through the many dangers on the China station. The orders under which the ship sailed were unfortunately lost in the Osprey. He attributed the great damage done to the ship—her bulwarks being carried away and her side laid open--to her havins , been caught in a gale when under canvas alone, ° and to her being unable to carry sail enough in order to stay the ship. He explained the reasons for dis carding the printed instructions, and for not using the lead, under the peculiar circumstances, and said that no sailing instructions were supplied to the ship, with one exception, to which he referred. A book referring to this he never saw. He laid before the Court a letter f rota the French Vice- Consul at Algoa B ty, regarding currents on that part of the coast where the Osprey was lost. The letter referred to the loss of a French ship near Cape St. Frances, in 1850, the captain, at the time the vessel struck, believing her to be 36 miles from the coast. Two other ships were also lost on that coast, entirely owing to the existence of an unknown , current, as was shown by an inquiry, the captain of one of these ships believing himself to be forty miles from the shore. The captain, believing himself safe, hal just gone below when the ship struck, and she was lost under circumstances s i m ilar to the loss of the Osprey. After these losses the French consul reported the matter to the French Government, saying that it was neces sary, owing to these currents, that notice should be given to masters of vessels, advising them to use more than ordinary precaution. lie had always taken his own observations, making it a rule to compare results with the navigating lieutenant, Christian, in whom he had entire confidence. He had used every exertion when be heard they were about to return home to make himself acquainted with everything, in order to secure the safety of the ship. Ile had lost all his personal effects and his certificate. His professional reputation he left in the hands of that honourable Court. Commander Menzies then callel witnesses to corroborate his statements. The Judge-Advacate, by permission of the Court, read Lieutenant Christian's defence. For six days prior to the stranding of the ship, they had experi enced a south-westerly (set current), as shown by the log, which must have shifted to the northward, as from the position of the ship at noon on the previous day, taken by Captain Menzies and himself, they ouslit to have been, at the time of the disas ter, fifteen miles from the position of the wreck. Bat allowing the same set as they had experienced on the previous day, it would have increased the distance of twenty-seven miles. He regretted the loss of their work book, which would have laid these facts before the Court. He has since learnel that this set existed. He had no recent sailing directions for the African coast. It was now well known that several wrecks had occurred on the coast where the ship was lost, and he re ferred to an account written by the harbour master at Algoa Bay, which stated that two ships, the Run neymede and Prince of the Seas, were both lost owing to the variableness of the current. t h e h le ft b t I : I no orders for being cal led, becaus w t o r e b e e k u b p e s f o e o l n t l a ) c f r t f e e s c d ti a y y , e d T w h i e t i t g h l t s h b i e p f , o s r the p e osi tion. Had it been possible for him to have found bot tom the sounding could not have given him any idea , as to the distance from land, and no observation could have been taken to ascertain the It ship' ad s posiiion after the noon of the 20th of May. wasadvisable that the anchors should be lashed as the weather was so bad. Having handed in his certificate he left his case in the hands of the Court. Witnesses were then called for the defence. The Court then cleared, and after deliberating for three hours and a half, The Judge Advocate read the sentence, as follows: —The Court having weighed and considered the whole of the evidence, and having heard what the prisoners and their witnesses have said in defence, are of opinion that the charge against Commander Menzies and Navigating Lieutenant Christian has been proved, inasmuch as they were guilty of negli gence in not using the lead, or in not making any attempt to get soundings when approaching laud, and in default of not wearing the ship off the land during the night if they thought it dangerous to sound. But from the general character borne by Commander Menzies for carefulness the Court thinks that such negligence arose from error of judgment. They therefore adjudge him to lose four ye ars ' seniority in her Majesty's service and to be severely reprimanded. After taking into consideration the very high tes timonials possessed by Navigating Lieutenant Chris tian, the court adjudge hint to lose two years senio rity in her Majesty's service, and to be severely re primanded. The President —The court cannot separate with out an expression of regret that her Majesty's ship Osprey was not supplied with an edition of the African Pilot" for 11365. The court then separated after sitting three days. , BOT.ES FROM TRAIN ING QUARTERS. 271 q 1014 I MIDDLEHAM. We shall have a good many at Ripon.

IMR. BRIGIIT AND TIIE REPRESENTATION OF MI NORITIES.—The following letter from Mr. J. Bright, 31. P., addressed to a leading member of the Liberal party in Bir mingham, was received on Wednesday afternoon: —"My dear sir,—You see the vote in the Lords. It partially dis franchises Birmingham. Instead of your having three voices, or two, in a groat division on a great principle, you aro now to have only one. Your future Tory member will pair with me or with Mr. Dixon, andthero will be left only one vote for your great community. Birmingham is now to be reduced to the position and weight of Arundel or Caine in a great Parliamentary diviion, and this in the year of Reform and extension of popular power! You will see that certain of the Whig peers have joined this childish or nefarious scheme. It is not the less danger ous on that account. I hope you will take some steps to counteract this proposition. Tho great towns should send deputations up to London to urge the Government to maintain the integrity of the bill. Ido not think Mr. Disraeli wishes to injure the bill He spoke ear nestly against this scheme in tho house, and I hope he will adhere to his own view on so grave a matter. You should not for a moment dream of consenting to the auda cious proposal to destroy the political weight pnd force of your borough.—l am, sincerely yours, JOHN BRIGHT.-- Manchester, Jnly 81, 1837." The Birmingham Post under stands that, recognising the vital importance of the ques tion to Birmingham, and the necessity for vigorous and prompt action, certain members of. the Reform League would confer with the chairman and secretary of the Bir mingham Liberal Association yesterday, with a view to appointing a deputation to wait upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
