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 C division, with begging. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed two girls, named Connor and Clancey, who were bogging under the pretence of selling flowers, for seven days each. In another case Mr. Tyr whitt remanded a boy named Began, 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 Fekhan; Mr. Tyrwhitt remarking —" A new wing must be built to the school at Feltham for the boys who come to this court. lam sure we shall want it." Several men and women, charged with bogging, were committed for different terms. During the past few days a largo numter of beggars have been brought to the court, and several boys sent to Feidiom. COURT OF COON 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 make a communication, of which the Court, no doubt, had in effect been made aware • through the public journals. He referred to the announcement which had beer, 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 Sultan, and of the entertainment to his highness the Viceroy of Egypt, at the Mansion-house. (Cheers.) He need hardly say how gratifying such a dis tinguished mark of her Majesty's favour was to him saf 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 he 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 (Ar. Waodthorpe) read the communication as follows :-- "25, St. James-square, July 29. "My dear Lord, —I am happy to say that I received from tho 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 potentates, 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 been 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 OB BARD, 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 uponhim, 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. '.U. S. RICHARDS, chairman of the Bri lge 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 himsalf of the opportunity to express the pride he felt at the gracious proof of her M ijesty's favoar he was about to receive. He 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 bestowed upon him. WES T 11 INS TER. A SOLDIER TRIED TEN TIMES BY COURT MARTIAL -- Frederick Cooke, a private of the Grenadier Guards, Witt , charged with the following outmgeous conduct to a trades man in York-street, Westminster, of the condition of whi:th place there have of late been serious complaints made. Mr. Henry Wright, corn chandler, 56, York-street, said that last evening he was sitting in his shop, when the pri soner buddenly entered it from the back premises and said ho wanted to pass through into the street. As com plainant did not know where he 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 tried to get over a back wall, and on complainant endeavouring to prevent him, defen dant struck Lim three or four times in the face and gave him a black eye. Defendant appeared excited, but com plainant could not say whether he was under the influence of liquor. _ _ Mr. Selfe--What kayo you to slip to this, defendant ? Defendant—l broke 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 ? A sergeant of the Grenadiers handed up a written cha racter of defendant, and said—" Thg man has been ton times corrected by military courts-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 placed I did not know what he might not have done. Mr. Selfe--Ilis conduct is very disgraceful. 1 shall com mit him for six months to hard labour. Defendant—Thank you. I wish it was Biz years. THAMES. A VIRAGO.—Ann Riley, an Irish laundress, about 40 years of age, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with assaulting and wounding VP hilhelmina 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 were 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 tho com plainant, the prisoner's daughter-in-law and other wit nesses, and the further hearing of the case will be resumed this evening. LOIvDONDERRY AND ENNISICILLEN RAILWAY. MEETING THIS DAY. The ordinary half-yearly general meeting of this company was held to-day at their offices, 4, Coleman street —J. Clay, Esq., M.P., the chairman, pre siding. The report, an abstract of which has already been published in The Sun, vas taken as read. The CHAIR3IAN, in moving the adoption of the report and statement of accounts, said that be was satisfied the hopes held out by the report of an increase in the traffic of the company would be realised, but he was 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. Ile 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 Rev. Dr. Manning delivered a long address upon the doctrines of the Papacy, 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 what passed in that city was altogether beyond his power of expression. He could not hope to convey to them a proper idea of what he beheld wh en h e saw t h e Vi car o f our Divine Lori, the successor of St. 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 the words "Thou ar t P eter, an d upon this rock I will build my Chu rc h , " h a lf t h e episcopacy of the world assembled in R ome, an d gav e their sense of the interpretation. U pon P eter, as a person, the Church of God was built. At the great festival there was visible amongst them the 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 milised world, was spoken there. On Whit-Sunday he found himself at the Holy Mass, in the Cistine Chapel, between an Armenian patriarch and an Ar a bi an bi s h op. They could not speak Latin, and knew no other language than their own, yet in their hearts and his there was not divergence or discord about a single particle r of doctrine or belief. Not only was the universality of the Catholic religion thus exhibited, but also its wonderfulunanimity. Was this e ?elt anything had absurdly said that the Pope feared such a council as that which assembled. Why the fact was th a t it was suggested by the Sovereign Pontiff himself. As to the result of this important gathering of the bishops, he firmly than tli been in the world morn believed that it would awaken in th e Ch urc h o f G o d throughout the world a consciousness of the unity, universality, and authority of the Church to which they belonged. R would give a hundred-fold strength. It would vindicate its liberty and spiritual freedom. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKE7—This Day -.------....... - 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 aoticipatod, be disclosed. The appeal from the Court of Session in Scotland, with reference to whether tho 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 Illarquis of Breadalbane. 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 cheap things of all sorts, and put a border of shrain rocks, round every one, and an Irish harp in the centre of each." This was done, and before the Irish had thought of getting out their clay, the markets were stocked with " patriotic" crockery, 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. Bat 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 83. to 10s. 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, 4t natty" labour, such as Irish women (and men too) can give when they are properly set to work, 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 Ex'nibition, 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 ne w boat which their Mayor has brought 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 " prices.Taaait 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 fault-finding, they do admire him in spite of it. BpNIIILL FIELDS. The CITY SOLICITOR (Slr. Nelson) reporte.l that the Royal assent had been given to an act fur the preservation of Bunhill-fields burial ground. Mr. C. REED congratulated the Court on the satifactory settlement of this question, after s , ) protracted a struggle, remarking at the same tine it was cause for regret that the great body of the Ecclesiastical Co:nnaissioners should have interposed obstacles to its settlement. From 1861 to 1867 he said the question had been before the Corporation, and it was - only upon au appeal to the House of Commons that the inviolability of the burial growl 1 had been settled on an imperial basis. Ile moved that it be referred to a committee to carry the act into execution. The motion was adopted. THE BOARD OF WORKS. Mr. IsA.Acs, 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 IlousJ of Commons that direct taxation in the me tropolis bad 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 inumsistent action of the Board in pressing their Improvement Rate Bill, the object of which was to add to that direct taxation which was said to have already reached its highest limit, and for their declining, in 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 Far 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 bad 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 4d. rate, one half to be charged upon the owners and the other upon the occupiers of property. TILE GUILDIIALL. On the motion of Mr. STAPLETON, chairman 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 in a court of 97 members--,, That the repeated and heavy expenditure which takes place at the Guildhall on ev er y occasion of p receublic p tion affords evidence of the insufficiency of the ac commodation at the disposal of the corporation for the for such purposes, while the space available library and museum has also been declared altoge some ther insufficient ; that therefore it is desirable comprehensive and well-considered plan for provi occde - ing permanently for such objects should be at prepared and laid before this collaset Mils court and that it shall be referred to such a committee direct to obta in a p lan and es ti m ate 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 ber next, Lord Mayor's day. TILE RECEPTION OF TIIE SULTAN. At the instance of Mr. Deputy WityrE, the thanks of the Court were unanimously voted to the Special Reception Committee for the Admirable arkonge7 ments made by them iu carrying into effect the re olutiou 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 CRIER AND SERGEANT-AT-ARNS. Mr. John Alexacdcr Boddome, who h 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 Corporatiin of Llndon. • 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 Gifford, M.A., of St. John's College, Oxford, vicar of Hartley, Wintney, Hants ; and the Rev. Richard Whitting ton, M.A., Trinity College, Cambridge, one of the Masters of Merchant Taylors' School, and evening Lectur?r 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. ._____ THE 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 OSPREY AJESTYS' SHIP PORTSMOUTH, Friday. The oourt-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 having 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 from the French ViC3- Consul at Algoa; Bay, regarding currents on that part of the coast where the Osprey was lost. The letter referred to the less 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 m iles from the shore. The captain, believing himself safe, had just gone below when the ship struck, and she was lost under circumstances similar to the loss of the 04prey. 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. He 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 he heard they were about to return home to make himself acquainted with everything, in order to secure the safety of the ship. lie had lost all his personal effects and his certificate. His professional reputation he left in the hands of that honourable Court. Commander Menzies then called 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 ought to have been, at the time of the disas ter, fifteen miles from the position of the wreck. But 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 sh w ips, the Runst - nc y m ede and Prince o f the Seas, ere both lo f owing to the variableness of the current. He habit le . t no orders for being called, because it was his s h before the to be up soon afte r daylight. The night wreck he felt perfectly satisfied tom the sounding could not have tion. Had it been possible for hima.tio.vehaavheimfouannyd idea - as to the distance from land, and no observation could have been taken to ascertain the ship's position after the noon of the 20th of May. It was advisable that the anchors should b 3 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 years' 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 him to lose two years' senio rity in her Mijesty'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 Not" for 1865. L The court then separated after §itting awn dile! THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, G O'CLOCK. THE PRINCIPALITIES. J3trCIIAREST, Aug. 2. M. Cretzulesco, President of the Council of Ministers, has given in his reAg nation, which has not, however, been accepted by Prince Couza. 11. Cretzulesco persists in his wish to retire. The brothers Bratiano appear to desire to preserve their posts. A partial modification of the Cabinet will probably take place. NOTES TRAINING QUARTERS. MIDDLEEI.A.3I. We shall have a good many at Ripon. St. Wil frid Handicap : Deceit is well, and up to the mark. Comus is in the Newby Welter Cup and Studley Welter Cup, and will land one of them if not both. Great Northern Nursery : Affection, First Blood, Jenny Mills, Narrow Escape ; the former is re markably well. The Members' Plate seems at the mercy of Audax. RICHMOND. Thursday was a dull day, and very cold. Impe rator and El Cid were only walking. James Wat son sent Bob Chambers and Proctor a good gallop a mile. Strathconan, Blairgowrie, and the Skirmisher filly went round the long gallop at half speed. Ohnar, the Entremet colt, Mysotis, Quality, Lais, Buttercup, and Elvire did steady mile work. Seve ral others were dodging about. ILSLEY. Early on Thursday morning the fog was so thick that it was impossible to see more than fifty yards off. After breakfast Dover's lot were on the Hod cut side, where Gardevisure led the aboved-named two year olds some sharp canters of three-quarters of a mile. Lord Lyon did his couple of canters, and Achievement went a nice canter of a mile and a steady gallop of a mile and three-quarters, and sho still continues to go well. MALTON. On Thursday Shepherd showed with Lady Zet land, Highland Chief, and Policy. The two former cantered a mile twice, and then galloped the same distance. The latter, who is engaged at Ripon, was sent a sharp gallop of a mile and a quarter by her self, and went well. War, Merry and Wise, and Thankful, are engaged at Ripon ; all three are very fit to run. Thankful is a beautiful goer, and might pull off the Northern Nursery Plate. LAMBOURNE. Marksman has not yet made his reappearance at work. Drislanc's team—Peggy, Tribune, General Sherman, Spurgeon, and Patrician—had three canters each. Wetherell's Bliss, Lady Diana, Singapore, and The Don had a couple of sharp canters; after which Bliss and Lady Diana went a good gallop a mile. Neville cantered Rebecca and Lucy Long, after which the former had a mile and a quarter gallop at three-parts speed. NEWMARKET. On Fridaymorning Hermit cantered several times steadily about a mile each time, led by Edgbaston. Mail Train galloped, and Bliokhoolie, Rama, and St. Ronan were doing some steady work. Hayhoe again sent Dalesman a good gallop, accompanied part of the way by Water Cure, his other bonus repeating the previous day's work, as did also the horses mentioned on thatday from Price's, Blanton's and Boyce's separate stables. HEDNESFORD. ly on Thursday Cliffs lot were out. After walking and trotting round the paddock they went on the far hills, but they only cantered. Amongst them were Tacitus, Uncas, Rupert's dam colt, Selim, Alicz Lee, Torch, filly and colt by Ben Webster. La Muc tte, The Rock, Lady Zetland, and Gauvernaute look pretty well. Selim goes rather dickey. FINDON. On Thursday and Friday we have bad two very cold mornings, more like March than August, still the horses from both the Findon and Michell Grove stables were out both days by five o'clock, but they did nothing beyond walking exercise, with the ex ception of Longdown, Mistletoe, Proserpine, Sweet Home, Potomac, Gilead, Princess Thyrn, and two others, who had two steady canters of a couple of miles each morning. Dwain Glyndwr has been walking each morning along with the other horses. LEWES. On Friday morning Violet, Pirate Chief, At a, an d the two-year - olds —Forest King, Emily de Lona colt, Mexico, Tutelina filly, Nightingale filly, Choral, Carbine filly, and Milton cantered; after which Forest King, Frailty, Emily de Lona colt, Tutelina filly, Nightingale Mexico, and the Carbine filly were sent a stea fi dy gallop for a mile. STOCKBRIDGE. On Friday morning Black Prince and Red Riband galloped ; Lvly Rose and Harpenden did the same for a mile and a half. After their usual amount of walking exercise the string returned home, there being every appeara nce of a wet day.—Sportsman.

Bright, M. l '., addressed to a leading member of the Liberal party in Bir mingham, was received on Wednesday afternoon :—" My dear sir,—You soo the vote in the Lords.
