ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE AND CIRCUS.—The Prince and Princess of Teck honoured the performances at the Royal Amphitheatre and Circus, High Holborn, with their presence last evening. Prince and Princess Christian, attended by Lady Susan Melville, left Frogmoro yesterday on a visit to the Prince and Princess of Wales at Sandringham. TILE LATE DEATH OF A COLLEGIAN AT OXFORD. —The professional attendants of the late Mr. 31. Prower, of Brasenose College, Oxford, agree in considering that the blow received during the bread riots on Nov. 9 was not the primary cause of death. So little did he regard the blow on his head that he dined the following d.ty with friends some distance out of town. The symptoms remarked through tho entire illness to its melancholy termination were those of a severe attack of typhoid fever. THE TRUE FRIENDS OF RomE.—The anti-Ro manist lecturer, Gutteridge—who challenged Dr. Newman to assist him in investigating a terrible caso of seduction by a father confessor recently perpetrated in a convent—has been met by the Rev. Canon Estcourt, who states that he has been instructed by the Right Rev. Dr. Ullathorne, C i atholic Bishop of Bir mingham, to ask the name of the parties implicated by Mr. Gutteridge's story, and the came of the con vent in which the alleged seduction occurred. But Mr. Gutteridge declines to give names or places, raises an irrelevant question as to whether the Right Rev. Dr. Ull,l - has any locus standi as Bishop of Birmingham be fore the English law, and concludes by saying that " the public courts of England are open for redress to all who feel aggrieved." Really, the cause of Protestantism re quires more protection against its Brockmans, its Mur phys, and its Gutteridges than it does against the whole power of Rome itself.—Pall Mall Gazelle.

If i 4 n 41 MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A FRACAS ABOUT A NEWSPAPER. -- Edward Attwell, a respectable-looking man, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting Mr. William Strange, publisher of the Sporting Life. Mr. Strange said—l reside at Osborne House, Holland-park. Last evening I was at the Oxford Music Hall, when the defendant came up and spoke to me. A warm discussion ensued between us ag to a newspaper I was connected with—the Sporting Life—the defendant having once been engaged as a canvasser for the paper, and I being the publislier. The defendant made come very offensive remarks, and said he would punch my head. Not wish ing to have any altercation at the Oxford Music Hall, and as I wished to see a gentleman at the Beau fort Club, in Rathbonc-place, I left the hall and went to Ra'hbone-place, but in consequence of the defendant following me all the way, anti making use of most abusive and offensive language, I did not go to the club, but turned down a passage, and the defendant then came up to me and wanted to fight, saying "Now, you --, I'll give you something," and he snatched my stick out of my hand And struck me on the hat, smashing it—(the complain ant exhibited his hat in a smashed condition)—and he then struck me in the eye with the stick. I called out " Police," and the defendant threw the stick away, and it went through the window of a public house. A person came out of the public-house and asked me whose stick it was, and I said it belonged to me, and they then told me that it had gone through their window. I told them that though it was my stick it was thrown by the defendant. On a constable coming up I gave the defendant into custody, and before the constable the defendant again abused me. • The Defendant—l deny the whole charge. I did not speak to him first at the Oxford. Did you not call me a liar, cheat, beater, and challenge me to tight ? The Complainant—No. I called you a scoundrel for what you said of me. Mr. Tyrwhitt—What was that. The Complainant—He said I was a thief, a liar, and all that sort of thing, and that I was never in any way connected with the Sporting Life, but that it was a Mr. Stephens. He also said ho would " punch my head," and " let me have it." Police-Constable James Swain, 68 E--At half past 11 last night I was in Rathbone-place, and the defendant was given in charge by the complainant for assaulting him, and seeing his eye bleeding I took the defendant into custody. The Defendant—He called me a liar, a bester, and scoundrel, .and he wanted to fight me under a publichouse lamp, but I told him him that it was too public a place, and went down a mews. He then said to me, " Now call me a liar," and I did so, and he then struck me and 1 struck him, and he defied me with his stick. I never struck him with the stick, as he asserts, and it was in parrying a blow he aimed at me that the stick flew out of his hand. The complainant had no witness, but a person who was called by the defendant, and who said be was a friend of both parties, stated that he did not see anything of the assault, but he heard the com plainant and the defendant equally abusing each other. Mr. Tyrwhitt—l think justice will best be done by binding over both parties to keep the peace. WESTMINSTER. THE BEGGING TRADE AND THE MARQUIS TOWNSHEND's EFFORTS.—A rough-looking fellow, with a stature approaching the gigantic, who gave the name of David Deacon, was brought before the court under the following circumstances : The Marquis Townshend said--Last evening, about five o'clock, I saw this man begging on the Wilton-road. lie begged of me. lie was dragging about a poor lame child with him that could hardly walk, and was carrying another four years old in his arms. When ho was given into custody he denied having begged. I thought it right to bring him before you for exciting sympathy by dragging children about this inclement weather. ThPy were taken to the workhouse. Defendant-1 did not ask any one for anything. Mr. Arnold—He begged of you, my lord. What did he say ? . Marquis Townshend— a " Give me trifle to buy bread." Mr. Arnold—And he begged of others ? Marquis Townshend—Of twenty people before I found a constable. Defendant. I .never begged of anybody since I have been here. I always work for my living, and it is not likely I should beg. While I can work I shan't do that. Did he see me begging ? Marquis Townshend—Most certainly, as I have stated. Mr. Arnold—l shall remand the defendant in order to see what is known about him. Defendant was then remanded till Friday. THAMES. A POLITE PRI SONER.—Louisa Franklin, a young woman, was brought before Mr. Benson, charged with assaulting and wounding Catherine Paynton. The complainant, a white-haired and elderly woman, said she was manager of a respectable lodg ing-house, at No. 147, Rosemary-lane, which the authorities bad altered to the name of Royal Mint street, near the Mint in Whitechapel. The prisoner was in the habit of coming to the house, taking the young men away and annoying her. This had lasted a long time. The prisoner came again last night to take away a young man, and she told her to leave the house. The prisoner refused to do so, and high words ensued, which the prisoner terminated by striking her on the head with a key, and inflicting the wound visible on her forehead. A witness confirmed the old woman's statement as to the assault. The prisoner, in her defence, said that she did not take young men away from the old woman's lodging-house, but she took young men there, and that last night the old woman refused to allow her to remain there. The house was not a respectable one by any means. Mr. Benson dared to say the complainant was not very particular as to the character of the per sons she entertained in her house ; but that was not the question before him. He cared not about the character of the house or the complainant. The prisoner had committed a savage assault with a dangerous weapon. lle sentenced the prisoner to imprisonment and h ar d l a b our. seven days' The prisoner made a low curtsey, and said, " 1 am very much obliged to your Worship ; very much obliged indeed." AND DEAD.—Caroline Mansfield, aged 45, no home, was charged on the police-sheet with being drnuk and incapable of taking care of herself, and on Mr. Benson asking for the prisoner, he was informed by Townshend, a police-constable, No. 313 K, that she died in a cell at Bow at three o'clock this morning. • Mr. Benson--That is very shockin g . Did a medical gentleman see her? Townshend—Yes, sir, every attention was plid to her. Mr. Benson marked the sheet "reported dead," and said that as a coroner's inquiry would be held ou the body, there was no doubt all the facts of the case would be fully inquired into. DRUNK AND INCAPABLE, AND ROBBED.—David Horn, an engineer, was brought before Mr. Benson, charged with being drunk and incapable. P. W. Dunaway, No. 11 H, the well-known detective, .stated that a few minutes before one o'clock this morning he was passing along Cable street, Whitechapel, and saw the prisoner wrangling with a man who claimed him as a shipmate, and endeavoured to force him up a side street. From what he saw and what he heard he believed the prisoner had been robbed, and took a woman into custody who had stolen the prisoner's watch. He found it upon her. 'fhe prisoner also lost 303. in money. The woman was in custody, and be in tended to bring her before his worship in the afternoon. Mr. Benson discharged the prisoner. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS-LAST EVENING. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. THE SALE OF REVERSIONS. This bill was read a first time. THE ABYSSINIAN QUESTION. Lord RUSSELL asked the noble earl opposite whether the Abyssinian question would come before the house upon a. bill, or what course the Government intended to pursue. Lord DERBY said that the resolution of the house of Commons as to the Abyssinian question would be brought up on Thursday next, bet with regard to the bill as to ti:o income tax it would b th. 3 house to-morrow evening*. EDUCATION OF THE WORKING CLASSES. Lord RUSSELL m.,ved that the house considered that education in England and Wales ought to be ex tended and improved, an l that the Parliament and Government should ail in su,:lt extension, and that the tiniveuities might be rirk•lo in ire useful by the removal of restrictions, and that a minister of education should bs appointed!. His lord,hip wa s un derstood to say that many bills had been brought before their lordships for the amelioration of criminal matters, but ho contended that such bills must be accepted with examination, or rejected without discrimination if the educational question was omitted from them. He thought that no objection could be made to any of these educational bills for the benefit of the poorer classes. His lordship adverted to the want of educational ad vantages, and stated that 1,050,000 were left totally unprovided for. With regard to the registers, it was found that at St. George's, Hanover-Square, the per centage of those married who could not write was 3 per cent. ; at Gretna Green it was 34 per cent. ; and generally throughout England and Wales it was 30 per cent. It was an enormity to allow children to go out into the street uneducated, ignorant of the laws, and consequently likely to commit crime. It was a disgrace to have to punish these children, when no care had been taken to implant an educational knowledge in their minds. Prussia showed us an example of what could be done with these schools. Many of them existed in Scotland, and partially so in Ireland. Of course a thoroughly organised system must be done by a local rate, or by much more extensive grants from Parliament than had yet been conferred. Ile thought that both courses would have to be applied. Sir George Grey had heard it said that the body who levied these local rates ought to have a discussion as to how they were educa tionally applied. With regard to the plan of education he thought that, although certificated masters ought not to be evaded, yet others might, under certain circumstances, be appointed. He also considered that the hours might be reasonably dispensed with ; and Mr. Chadwick, a great authority on the subject, was of the same opinion. He now came to a very important point, that was the adapting the revenues of the charitable endow ments to the advancement of education. These revenues were, in the times when there was only one church in England, employed for the purpose of education generally. The noble earl then reverted to a number of historical instances which, in his opinion, still justified their application generally without regard to the religious principles of the recipients of the advantages. Therefore there should be a general education of the whole people ; it mattered not how the means were obtained, either by local rate or Government grant. The opinion of the Committee was that there should be a conscience clause inserted in all educational arrangements, and that the children of Dissenters entering National Schools should be exempted from any restriction as far a s their re ligious principles were concerned. By introducing secular schools he did not believe that they would abolish any religious feeling. He did not speak without authority, for Mr. Frazer, who had visited America, found the American schools very excellent, because the whole nation, with a thoroughly noble spirit, determined that there should be an universal - system of education through out the land. The Duke of MARLBOROUGH commented upon the difficulty of replying to the noble earl, owing to the circumstance that he had not laid down any definite pro position. Ho thought the question was quits inopportune, and that there was not sufficient time during the present short session to deal with so important a matter. The noble duke adduced numerous arguments to prove that the calculations on which Earl Russell based his arguments were fallacious. The number of schools which had re ceived grants could not be relied upon as showing the progress education was making, because there were many schools quite as efficient which received no Government grant at all. Of course there were some points which had not been reached; there might bo room for improvement ; but he contended that on the whole the progress of educa tion was rapidly spreading over all classes of the com munity. Ho could not consent to the resolutions, and therefore proposed the previous question. After some further observations from Earl RUSSELL, the previous question was carried, and their lordships ad journed. HOUSE OF COMMONS—LAST EVENING. The SPBAIER took the chair at four o'clock. NEW MEMBER. Mr. PAGET took the oath and his seat for South Leicestershire. THE DISASTER IN THE WEST INDIES. Mr. GILPIN asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether, considering the effects of the recent destructive storm in the Island of St. Thomas, in which the wharf of the Royal Steam Company was stated to have been de stroyed, and the deplorable loss of life both from this cause and the pernicious effects of the climate of the island, it was the intention of the Post-office authorities to continue to sanction the island of St. Thomas as the chief postal station of the West India mails ? Mr. HUNT said there had been some private communi cation on the subject, but at present he was unable to give any further information. ARR ANGEME NTS OF THE HOUSE. Mr. BAZLEI 3- asked the right hon. member for New castle-on-Tyne whether it was his intention to move for the re-appointment of " The House of Cummons Arrange ments Comnritteo" during the present session ; and whether, since the termination of the labours of that committee in the last session, he had obtained any information which he could communicate to the house ? Mr. HEADLAM said he did not intend to move the re appointment of the committee during the present short session, but in February he should move its re-appoint ment. TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION' WITII INDIA. Mr. O'BEIRNE asked the Secretary of State for India whether he would place upon the table of the house a copy of the memorial lately presented by bankers and merchants of the City of London, recommending the laying of a submarine telegraph between Suez and India by the Red Sea, with a copy of the proposal made by the Submarine Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company upon the same subject ? Sir R. NORTHCOTE said he should have no objection to lay the paper on the table if the hon. member moved for it. MARRIAGE LAW COMMISSION. Mr. Alderman SALOMONS asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if the Marriage Law Com missioners had agreed on their report? Mr. ILA.EDY said he had sent a communication to the secretary of the commission, but he had not yet received an answer. Ho believed the last time the subject had been mentioned it was said the report would not bo ready until 1868. TRANSPORT OF TROOPS. Sir R. COLLIER asked the Secretary for War whether a statement which appeared in the lVsstern Morning News was correct, to the effect that on the removal of the 40th Regiment from Plymouth to Aldershot, the troops were kept on board her Majesty's troopship Simoom for three days without bedding or blankets, and were compelled to lie upon bare boards without any covering ; and whether they were kept without food from five p.m. on the 11th of November, when they loft the ship, until they arrived at Aldershot at half-past two the next day ? Sir J. PAKINGTON said ho had made careful in quiry into the matter, and he was happy to say the reports in the papers were very much exaggerated. The regiment in question was embarked on the Saturday, and thus the mistake occurred, Sunday being invariably observed as a dies non. The vessel arrived, and was detained at S pit head the whole of that day, and on the following day (Monday) they wore prevented from landing on account of the tide, and the men did not leave the ♦easel until Tuesday. With respact to lying on the bare boards he had to say that the troops themselves objected to take blankets with them on such short voyages, as they had to make good any loss that might take place. In the present case the men objected to taking blankets, but they were supplied to the women and children, the men being quite satisfied with the use of the great coats. The state ment that they were kept without food for a length of time was altogether without fouudatiou. ANNEXATION OE TIIESSALY TO GREECE. Lord J. HAY asked the Secretary of State for Foreign ♦ffairs whether there was any despatch in the Foreign office for Mr. Elliot, dated 1812 or 1363, stating that he had intimated to Mr. Boulgaris, the head of the Provisional Government of Greece, that her Majesty's Government would see with pleasure the annexation of Epirus and Thessaly to Greece, or words to that effect; and if the noble lord would lay the same upon the table. Lord STANLEY said that such an intimation had been made to the Greek Government, on the supposition that the Porte would not object to such an arrangement, but when it was discovered that such an arrangement was disapproved, the matter was at once withdrawn. The papers connected with the matter were confidential, there-- fore he could not produce them. THE CONFERENCE AT PARIS. Sir H. W. BARRON asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he had consented to have Eng land represented at the proposed conference on Italian affairs, and on what terms ? Lord k T ANLEX said ho had on the fiat day of Ma Mr. D. GRIFFITH said doubtless many hon. members had seen the bills sticking on the Hansom cabs, as well as those which were ugly—(oh, oh)—and by which a strike was threatened. He wished to know whether the Home Secretary had any power to prevent such a proceeding. Mr. HARDY said he had no new power to control the cabs, and be had no more information on the subject than the hon. gentleman himself. 100 et; 20; 10 100 1 1(67 I►U II I 5 I 21 )2 k 1191 1 181 19; Ilia 1111 121 911 i 4 100 'Co 100 WO all 1081 791 9.0.4 8.10.0 IS 17. t.lO. li 3.2.0 18.18.1 55.15. 6 6 6 7 4z6 433 1 16 17 6 6 • si 2 3 6 11 • II 21 4 5 17 16 17 19 1 35 37 21 2f is 41 51 2- 11 40 ID 3 II 2 3 2 24 23 31 380 100 i i 374 42 1 4 8 13 14 I It 8 10 7/ 73 110 120 67i 72 ; 25 27 15 16 1021 1117, 9 7 , 53E5, WI i I session stated the nature of ;the answer of the English Government to the proposition of the French Government and that enrol cr he had not modified in any respect. THE ABYSSINIAN EXPEDITION. Major ANSON asked the Secretary of State for War whether the stores for the Abyssinian expedition were to be provided by the Indian Government ; whether such stores, not consumed or injured during the campaign, were to be returned into store at Bombay, or whether they were to be kept by us, as was the case in China in 1860; and if the latter was the arrangement come to, whether any officers had been sent out by the Treasury to watch the expenditure and protect our inter sts, so as to preclude our having to pay for stores of obsolete pattern. Sir J. PAKINGTON the expedition was being equippe l a:1 , 1 iitted out at B ynbay for the British Govern ment. The stores were not supplied by the India Gov :,rn ment. Caro - mold be taken tno obsolete steres were returned into store at the close of the expedition. Mr. or WAY asked the Secretary of State for War whether it was true that .£ 4 ,090 was pai.t by the report of the War Department to Mr. Hale for the invention of the rockets which bear his name ; whether theso rockets were after severe tests finally adopted by the Ordnance Select Committee to the exclusion of stick rockets. Sir J. PAKINUTON said it was quito true that Mr lia7e had r,coived the sum mentioned, and the statement that he could manufacture from 800 to I,ojo per week had no foundation. THE BUBULINA. Mr. VANCE asked the Sec tart' of State for Foreign Affairi if his attention had been directed to the destruc tion of the Bubulina war steamer in the Mersey, on the eve of her departure for Greece, occasioning a great loss of life. Also, if his attention had been directed to the circumstance of the Greek Government having pur chased, fitted up with warlike stores, and filled with munitions of war, two steamers which had formerly b3en employed as Confederate blockade runners, the Be bulina and the Amphitryte. And if it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to make any inquiry from the Greek Government as to the destination of these ves sels, and if they were intended to be used against a foreign Power with whom we are on terms of friendbhip and alli ance. Lord STANLEY said he thought most hon. members had seen the account of the destruction of the steamer in the Mersey. Greeco being a Power at peace had a perfect right 'to buy or have built vessels of war in England or any other country, they being the beat judges of the amount of naval force required for their own protection. But if Greece intended to go to war with. Turkey or any other power her Majesty's Go vernment would take cognisance of such proceedings and try to prevent it. He was not aware that any such inten tion existed. DRESDEN. In reply to Mr. HARDCASTLE, Lord STANLEY said it was considered that the continuance of a mission at Dresden was at present un necessary, but as representations had been made to him that the other powers had Ministers there, he had deter mined to send a resident there with the title of Charge d'Affaires. THE THREATENED CAB STRIKE. INCOMI TAX BILL. This Bill passed through committee. Mr. D.
