This morning a crowded meeting of Whitechapel tradesmen was held at the Gun and Star Tavern, Aldgate, for the purpose of receiving the report of a deputation to the Home Secretary on the bill ; Mr. Romaine, jeweller, presided. The CHAIRMAN said a deputation of the com mittee waited on Mr. G. Hardy (the Home Secre tary), and at the interview Mr. Whalley, M.P., and Dr. Brady, M.P., were present. The Home Secretary seemed much impressed with the arguments brought forward against the bill, and altogether the result of the interview was most satieactory. He (the chairman) had been informed that the promoters of the hill had waited on Lord Amberley to ask him to withdraw his opposition to the bill, but the noble lord, having refused, it was decided to send people to Nottingham to work up Lord Amberley's constituents. It was now their duty to consider what was to be done. He propo.ed a great demonstration in Ilyde Park, which would show the inhabitants of the West-end that they must not interfere with the rights of the poor and oppressed at the East-end. (Cheers.) Mr. N. LEVY opposed all public meetings till after the result of the third reading. After some discussion the following resolution was unanimously carried : " That the next public meeting is in opposition to the bill issued on Wedneslay next in the City of London, and that this meeting resolves to take steps to hold a demonstration in Hyde-park as soon as possible." A vote of thanks to the chairman closed the meeting. RAILWAY ACCIDENT. On Monday afternoon a serious accident occurred on the Clydesdale branch of Caledonian Railway, between Motherwell and Uddingston Bridge, to the passenger train due at Glasgow at 3.20 p.m., result ing in serious, if not fatal, injury to several passengers, beside 3 causing considerable damage to railway stock and private property. It appears that a large caravan belonging to the proprietor of Hamilton's Diorama Exhibition, en route from Air drie to Greenock . , was being conveyed with the passenger train leaving Motherwell at 2.45. The train reached Uddingston station, where a number of passengers were taken up. The usual signal having been given the train proceeded ; but in consequence of suspected danger, and the steep in cline which is on this part of the line, it was going very slow, when the top of Mr. Hamilton's caravan came into contact with the bridge on the turnpike road between Powburn and Uddingston, and about 200 yards from the railway-station. Such was the force with which the van struck the stonework that it was whirled off the truck and crushed through the roof of a third-class carriage with such tremendous force that the carriage was broken into splinters, and the pieces scattered over the line. A number of the passengers were buried below the ruins, while others escaped almost miraculously. The utmost alarm and excitement ensued. So soon as the nature of the accident became known, a large number of men hastened to the spot, and had the passengers extri cated from their perilious position without delay, and conveyed to houses in the neighbourhood, where the worst cases were promptly attended by Drs. Golf, Stewart, and other medical gentlemen from Bothwell. A large squad of railway work men were in a short time on the ground, and by their efforts the line was soon cleared, so that the ordinary traffic was but little interrupted. Those of the passengers who were able to resume their journey were placed in the carriages which re mained uninjured, and conveyed to Glasgow. The following 'are the names of those most seriously injured :—Mr. Archibald Thomson, Both well, severely bruised on the sides and cut on the left leg ; Mr. R. Patton, commercial traveller, Whitevale, Glasgow, bruised on right shoulder and ribs ; Hugh Aitken, miner, Bellshill, bruised se verely on left leg and right shoulder ; Robert Laird, miner, Crossgatcs, Bellshill, severe concus sion of whole body, injuries considered dangerous. Another gentleman supposed to be named Smith, was injured severely about the feet, but was re moved to Glasgow before his address could be ascertained. On Wednesday the authorities were actively engaged investigating the circumstances of the accident. The engine-driver and guard state that they were doubtful of thecarayaiicl p ea r r n i e n e g ede th d e bridges along the line, and consequently with the utmost caution ; and as soon as the train gave a jerk they appliedth,neulbdrebaakvse, o b r ee o n th a e t r t w e is nd e e i d t is probable the accident vi done to railway stock is sai d with even more disastrous res tn ult a s m . nu l n 'h dte to a i m ]. a o g o e , while _itlsiciottssncolanit-. tents, is, we a b m ell il e t v o e n: sc e st a i oi r a a v t a e n d , a a t l og o ow.

WHOLESALE ROBBERY AND EncEtvlNG.—Alfred Harris, in the employ a Messrs. Backimister, tailors, No. 3, New Burlingtoa-street, was chlr:redb fore Mr. Knox with steal ing a quAutity of cloth and other property belonging tohis eniph,3%•rs ;.and Mary Lamb, a p.”;;) bro'cer, of No. 2 Lowndes-court, Conaly-street, was charged with receiving the same with a guilty knowledge. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, Ap pared for the defence. _ Police-constable Butcher, 137 C, proved seeing the prisoner Harris leave his employer's that morning, and seeing that he had something bulky in his possession he followed him, and saw him go into the shop of the female prisoner. He went into the shop and saw the female pri soner measuring a piece of lining, and on asking her what she was doing, she said that she was measuring a piece of lining, but that she had not bought it. He told Harris that he had no right with it, and he said he had, and that it was his own property. He sent for another officer, and then asked the female prisoner if she had any more property she had bought of Harris, and she said she had not, that she did not know man, and had never seen him before. She asked Harr he had ever been there before, and ho said, " No." He told her it was no use their saying he (Harris) had not been there before, because he had seen them together repeatedly. The female pri goner then asked to be allowed to go upstairs to see her daughter. Ho asked her if she had any other property there, and she denied it. He told her it was no use of her denying it, for he had seen Harris conic there often with property, and that ho should take her into custody and search the house. She then said that she had ..;autioned Harris against bringing property there, and that she had a little more property there, which Harris had brought there, and ho would give it to him, and she then said, in Harris's presence, that he had bought the things there some time ago, &c. Ho searched the place, and found a large quantity of property of various kinds there. Tho female prisoner said that ho could produce bills relating to some of the property. A paled produced, containing a quantity of lining, was the one prisoner was carrying, and he had about 46 yards more in his pocket. By Mr. Lewis—Mrs. Lamb said she had bills of all the other property I took away but that brought to her by the prisoner. Mr. James George Arnold, clerk and traveller to Messrs. Buckmaster, identified some parcels of goods produced as the property of the firm, and said the prisoner was in the employ of the firm as porter. The property consisted of linings, dec. Butcher said that Harris had a coat on with pockets, peculiarly constructed, so that property would b 2. all round the coat, and the coat was stocked with property when he left his employers. . _ Solomon Pe1314, 69 C, gave similar evidence to that of Butcher. Mr. Lewis asked that bail might be taken, but Mr. Knox declined at present to take it. THAMES. A DESPERATE RUFFIAN. — James Hill, a dirty and dissi pated looking fellow, aged 21, a cigar maker, Stepney, was charged with violently assaulting Elizah3th Smith and Jane Peat, Clement Jones and William llortou (polico con stables), and other persons. The woman Peat, who is much older than the prisoner, bad cohabited with him for 11 months, and with the usual results—continual quarrels. He had repeatedly ill used her. fie stabbed her on the head throe weeks ago, and ho once made an attempt to throw her out of the window of a first floor room. lie came home drunk at three o'clock this morning, and was guilty of great disorder and violence. An attempt was made by the woman Peat to pacify the prisoner, but without effect. He made a furious attack upon her, struck her, and knocked her down, and when down kicked her. He also beat her on the head with a brick, and rendered her insensible. Another woman named Elizabeth Smith, lodging in the same house, went to the assistance of the landlady, who was shat out, and lying in the street. Ire then attacked Smith, and after knocking her down by a blow on the chest he picked her up and left her in a state of unconsciousness by the ',lids of her landlady. A man named Charles Stewart, of No. 10, Thomas-street, Ilethnal-green, finding the prisoner kicking the woman, called out murder. Stewart was also knocked down and kicked in the abdomen. Two police .;onstables, named Jones and Horton, came up and took the prisoner into custo:ly. He male a determined resist ance, and fought, plunged, and kicked at the constables, tnd all within his reach. He threw Jones, and kicke 1 him on the ribs. He got Horton's finger in his mouth and bit it. He was ou the ground at the time, and Horton was compelled to stamp on his face to release the finger, which was shockingly lacerated. The two women had been severely punished, and their faces were bruised and swollen, Mr. Partridge—Ho was mad drunk ? Horton—He was, sir. He is certainly the most despe rate fallow I over met with. Mrs. Peat said the prisoner had done seven days work inly in 14 months, and sho was compolled to maintain him. Mr. Partridge—You are not cempelled to do anything ,f the kind. You should abandon such a disgraceful con nection : you are not married to him. The prisoner has been guilty of seTeral disgraceful and brutal assaults at tended with gross violence. For the unjustifiable assault on Peat I sentence him to two mouths' imprisonment and hard labour, a similar punishment for the assault on Smith, one month for the assault on Jones, and one month for the issault on Horton—in all six months' imprisonment and hard labour. WESTMINSTER. A REMARKABLY COOL PROCEEDING.—A middle aged man, of creditable appearance, who gave his name John Gibson, was chargedawith stealing a horse and cab. William Parsons, policeman, 302 T, said he was in the King's-road, Chelsea, last n i g ht w h en th e pr i soner was pointed out to him as a person who had stolen a cab from Paddington. Prisoner had got a cab with him, and, mounting the box, was going to drive away. Tho horse being stopped, he ran aw ay b ut was pursue d an d capture d Mr. Selfo (to defendant)—What have you to say ? Defendant-1 was coining by Paddington railway station when I saw a horse walking along in a cab by the side of the rank. Mr. Selfe—Well ? Defendant—A lady and gentleman got into the cab and asked me to drive them to eremorne Gardens, so I got upon the box and drove them thero. Selfe—And took a faro for it. Defendant—Yes ; I took the faro. I was going to drive the cab back to whore I found it. Of course, when I was taken into custody, somebody said I had stolen ties cab. Mr. Selig—Did they really. Defendant—Yes; they did. Thomas Barrowes, 8, Bloomfield-mews, owned the horse and cab, which he put down at last at £25. He knew nothing of the prisoner. Charles Hedges said that he was the driver, and left the cab on the rank near the Great Western, at a quarter-past nine, while he went for refreshment; when he came out in half au hour it was gone. Mr. Solfo (to prisonor)—You are rather a cool hand, You aio remandod for a week.

I hold his first floor as a musical and dramatic agency, and have known him for eight years, during which time he has conducted his house respectably, and 3triven hard to support a wife and large family. By some mistake I was not called yesterday, although my evidence could have-been corroborated by two or three persons in the almost daily habit of using my ollice. Trusting to your well-known efforts to arrive at the truth when slander and private malice assail us, I leave the public to impartially judge of the evidence given, and that which was excluded.—l - am, sir, yours, &C., HENRY REEVES. 12, Brydges-street, Covent -garden, W.c., June 5. A GALLANT RESCUE.—On Saturday night a boy, six years of age, named S la t er, while playing near Hill gate Quay, Gateshead, fell over into the river. His father, who was standing close by, was rendered for the time com pletely helpless with fright and excitement, being unable to do more than shout " Oh, my child ! Oh, my child ! " A waterman named John Stevenson, who was lying in bed, hearing tho cries of the distracted father, ran down stairs, and leaping into the water, succeeded in catching the child as it was sinking. Stevenson has saved the lives of several persons. At the time of the occurrence a screw steamer was passing, and to prevent being struck by the vessel he had to dive under her, SPORTING TELLIGENCE—This: :Day. ASCOT RACES—THIS DAY.

ASCOT HEATH ANNOTATIONS. (From our Special Sporting Correspondent.) Yesterday was a cheerless one for the Berkshire racing visitants, but the competition repaid all who ventured to assist at the re-union. We saw the Hermit out in rare form, and he made such an example of the Ninth Biennial lot that bookmakers decline now to lay more than 2 to 1 against him for the Doncaster St. Leger ; but Vauban, at 3 to 1, has almost as many friends as the son of Newmin ger and Seclusion. Achievement was quite at home on the old mile, for, despite the 71b penalty, she cantered right away from Arapeile, Sunnylocks, Ravioli, and the Duchess in the Coronation Stakes. Yet we are convinced she has not the semblance of a chance in the Great Northern essay next autumn, for she cannot stay "over a mile. The " sensation" of the week, so far, was the ignominious defeat of William Day's Derby crack, Michael de Basco, for the Fifteenth Biennial ; 'and Restitution also cut up most wretchedly in the same race, Danebury furnishing us with another 'clipping filly in Europa, a descendant of Trumpeter and lonica, on whom the Duke of Beaufort merely in £2oo at 20 to 1, the Marquis of Hastings going for the reputed Woodyeatcs' flyer. Another of William Day's great " pots" boiled over in the Royal Hunt Cup race, Camellia never looking dangerous in any part of the struggle, Jasper landing the prize (2810 in value, exclusive of the piece of plate) from his 29 opponents very cleverly indeed, Baron Rothschild having stood him only at 21000 to £3O. There were only seven races during the afternoon, 'two each falling to the share of Joseph Hawley and Mr. Chap lin, and one each to the Duke of Beaufort, Baron Rothschild, and Colonel l'earl.3on, so that the " upper ten" had the honours all to themselves. The fields were slightly better, as far as numbers went, than on the seccnd day of the last anniver sary, to wit. : Race. 1867. Visitors' Plate - 8 ran. ...

During the week upwards of two hundred horses have been* stabled at Ascot that had engagements in the various stakes, but a great many of them have returned home. This morning the interest in the gallops was principally restricted to those of the Hermit, Vauban, Hippia, Rama, Innerdale, Lady Elizabeth, Rabican, and Achievement. The Derby winner cantered thrice with Rama, and then went a mile gallop fast, after which Rama did nearly two miles by himself at nice speed, pulling up fresh and sound, albeit he sweated somewhat profusely. Vau ban and Lecturer went a mile and three quarters steadily, moving splendidly ; and the three crack two-year-olds above mentioned did over a mile each at a rattling pace. Achievement exorcised freely. Auguste and Lothario galloped two miles and a half. Gomera and Tourmalin did similar work. Van Amburgh galloped a mile and a quarter, and Roque fort a mile and a half. Moulsey was in nice steady work ; as also were John Davis, Tormentor, and Sealskin. BANK OF FRANCE. PARIS, June 6.

Lord REDESDALE said that he would prefer that the second reading of the bill should bo postponed until after the recess. The Bishop of OXFORD said that ho did not wish to do otherwise than that the house should have before them all the information on the subject that they could have, and therefore be should have no objection to the proposition of the noble lord the chairman of com mittees. • The Earl of DERBY said that the present course wished to be pursued was rather an extraordinary one. There were two bills relative to the question, and he thought it would bo highly inconvenient if the churchyards were not consecrated at once. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY made a few obser vations relative to the constitutional clauses in the bill. The BISHOP of OXFORD trusted that the house would view with deliberation the bill after the recess. • Lord REDESDALE did not wish to put the bill off altogether, but he proposed certain alterations in the bill. The coursi that he would pursue would be to postpone the co mmitment of the bill that day, in order to allow the Right Reverend Prelate (the Bishop of Oxford) time to propose his amendment after the recess. The Duke of BUCCLEUCH said that it was a most important question, and that it ought to be taken up at once. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY proposed to lay upon the table to-morrow a bill relative to the fees of the consecration of churchyards in every diocese. The bill was then postponed.

An HON. MEMBER asked a question re l a tive to the in crease of fares on the North Western Railway.

GIBSON called attention to the discrepancythe two Rouses of Parliament in reg ard to the provisions made for securing the completion -of railways, and concluded by moving that it was inexpedient to mako any alteration in the standing orders relative to railways during the present session. Mr. CAVE said it would, under all the circumstances, be better that all railway bills pas sed this session should be under the old Standing Order, and that before the ter mination of the session a conference •should be held be tween the two houses, in order that an uniform act of orders should be agreed upon. Vac> motion was agreed to, NEW WR IT. On the moti on of Mr. GLYN, a new writ was ordered to be issued for Weymouth in the room of Captain Gridley. " BLACK DEATH." Mr. VERNER asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether he had received any information from the Regis trar-General or other authority with regard to the very fatal disease called in the newspapers " Black Death," which bad of late been prevalent in the neighbourhood of Dublin ? Lord NAAS said there had been about 50 des from fevers nce the 15th of May, but none from that b led in the middle age " Black Death." THE UNIVERSITY OP LONDON. Mr. GOLDSMID asked the First Commissioner of Works when the new design for the elevation of the Uni versity of London is likely to be finished ; and whether he will, before giving orders for its execution, afford the louse and the University an opportunity of expresAng au opinion upon it. Lord J. MANNERS said immediately the plan was re ceived from Mr. Pennethorno it would be placed in the library of the house for inspection. Ile did not propose to submit it to the university. VENTILATION OF SEWERS. Sk G. S TUCLEY • asked the Vico President of the. Council whether his attention had been called to the•pro-, sent system of ventilating the sewers by shafts covered with open iron gratings placed in the centre of narrow and much frequented thoroughfares ; and whether the gases dispersed by means o f such gratings could not be carried off in some other way ? Lord R. MONTAGUE said whilst the sewers were ventilated into the streets the noxious gases would inva4le the houses. With respect to ventilating the sewers by means of shafts, that would interfere with private property. However, the whole matter was in the hands of the local authorities. THE TORNADO. Mr. GREGORY asked the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, whether he could obtain and lay before the house a copy of the papers found on board the Tornado, and re ferred to by the Spanish auditor in his report dated the 6th day of December, 1866 ?. Lord STANLEY said he had received an intimation from SirJ. Crampton that, as there were no copies of the papers except at Cadiz, and having to send there for them no doubt was the cause of the del,,y_in their arrival. i Jockeys. 4, yel Jeffery Jarvis 1 .., ... ...

Mr. GREGORY asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether ho had received any fresh accounts on the sub ject of the distress prevalent in tho West of Ireland, and what course the Government was taking in dealing with this calamity ? Lord NAAS said various public works had been under taken with a view of alleviating the distress existing in the West of Ireland, and he hoped the steps adopted would in a greatpeasure meet the emergency. THE CONDEMNED FENIANS. Mr. MAGUIRE asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if he had any objection to state the decision to which the Government had come with respect to the Fenian pri soners still under sentence of death for high treason, and who as yet had received no announcement of their sen tence having been commuted. Lord NAAS said the sentence of death passed on M'Cafferty and other persons convicted of high treason had been commuted to penal servitude for life. gITUALISM. Mr. FOLJAMBE asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether it was true that the Arch bishop of York had declined to servo on the Royal Com mission on the ground that the Church of England, as distinct from the Ritualists, was not fairly represented on the Commission. Mr. HARDY said it was true that the Archbishop of York had declined to serve on the committee, but not on the ground stated in the hon. member's question. PRACTICAL JOKING IN THE NAVY. Mr. 0. STANLEY asked the First Lord of the Admi ralty if he was. able to state to the house the result of any further inquiry into the alleged outrage upOn naval cadet by his brother midshipmen on board the Phoebe frigate; and if he can assure the house that stringent orders had been issued to prevent the recurrence of similar disgraceful conduct in the navy. Mr. CORRY said a report had been received from two officers appointed to inquire into the matter, and it being found to be less reprehensable than was at first believed, tho two young officers had been reinstated. A circular had, however, been issued that day stating that a recurrence of such ungentlemanly conduct would be visited by the Admiralty with severe punishment. With respect to what appeared to be judging first and in quiring afterwards, the Admiralty had acted upon the re port of the captain of the Phoebe. STREET OUTRAGES. Mr. 0. STANLEY asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if his attention had been called to the outrages committed upon respectable persons walking in the streets in the day time, by bands of ruffians who take the opportunity of crowds collected by volunteers, militia, and other military bands passing through the streets to hustle and rob them. And if any orders had been issued to the police to protect the public from a continuance of those disgraceful attacks in the metropolis ? Mr. HARDY said he had seen with regret an account of robberies committed•under the most daring circumstances, especially on the occasion of the marching of the City of London Militia from Finsbury to Regent's Park. The regiment was accompanied by a large-number of the lowest of the population, and on the first opportunity arising from confusion with the street traffic, the bad characters who followed in the rear of the regiment, hustled and robbed about 26 persons, the property stolen amounting to .£l5O. The police had no intimation of the ineended marching of the regiment, otherwise the police would have bean strengthened at points at which any danger was antici pated, although the calls on the force just now were very severe. No less than between three hundred and four hundred constables were employed to prevent the introduction of the cattle plague, but notwithstanding that the Commissioners of Police had taken such steps as would be found quite effectual for the protection of the public on any similar occasion, and for the putting a stop to out rages which were a disgrace to the metropolis. Sir A. AGNEW said it appearel to be a pre-arranged plan, as robberies had taken place simultanonsly at the (writer of Park-lane, Stanhope-street, and (Atter places. The thieves even availed themsalves of a marriage in flanover-square. Mr. HARDY said it was much to be regretted that such outrages had taken place, but he hoped the orders that bad been issued for the strengthening of the power of the police at various parts of the metropolis would be found effectual. _ . [LEFT SITTING.] SCIENTIFIC JOTTINGS. - _ Among the photographic curiosities which are daily springing up, we now have magical photo graphs—that is, such as can be made to appear and disappear at pleasure. For this purpose they use paper coated with gelatine, and they sensitize it in a saturated solution of bichrornate of potash. After printing, the photograph is washed in order to dis solvewhen drythe excess tile of p i g m e t l o a g t r iz , : p e. h l d ' o h e e s eff no ec t t s i h s o t w his l; slightest trace of an image, but if put into water the latter will appear in a transparent state, to dis appear again completely when dry. It may, how ever, be fixed by hying it carefully on a surface of gum and water. llerschel's chrysotype, as is well known, also produces such fugitive photographs by another process. Mr. Leighton Pine is of opinion that there is no need of seeking any new process for obtaining fineproofs richly toned, since the ordinary methods are quite sufficient for the purpose, pro vided the sensitive substances be properly dosed. Thus, for instance, he thinks the following propor tions for salting paper the best: Water, 31 cubic centimetres ; hydrochlorate of ammonia, 0,350 do. ; nitric acid, 0.130 do. ; and gelatine, 0.065 do. The sensitizing bath cousits of 2.6 gms. of nitrate of silver for every 31 cub. centim. of water ; the paper thus impregnated is exposed to the emanations of ammonia, and may then be printed as vigorously as on albumenized paper. The toning is effected with • a salt of gold alkalized with chloride of lime; after which the proofs are washed, and fixed in a bath of 186 parts of water and 31 of hyposulphyte.-41. Vivenot., jun., has found by numerous experiments that, under the influence of compressed air, having an increase of pres sure of three sevenths of an atmosphere, the pulse falls at the rate of six strokes and a half per minute ; but the phenomenon is only transitory, and ceases soon after the excess of pressure has been removed. The cause of this, according to M. Vivenot, is purely mechanical, being due to the increase of pressure at the kurface .of the body, whereby the diameter of the smaller ves sels is narrowed, and capillary circulation ren dered more difficult. In making certain experi ments with glass for optical purpose, M. Leroux was led to form a borate of magnesia with an equivalent of calcined oxide of magnesium and another of boric acid. This compound melts at a strong white heat, and yields a very fluid liquid, which, on being poured on a castiron plate, is trans formed into a slightly greenish sort of glass, remark able for its lightness and strengthmoul . ds, n it willt, stra ngecome to say, if poured into pinum out quite opaque, partly of white marble. Hence it appears that, to become glass, it must not be a n ncaled. SHIPPIN G IN EELLIGENOE: (By Eloctrle Telegraph.) _ GRAVESEND, Thursday Morning.
