£59,704,000 With regard to the corn market at Birmingham, Ma% Cave states as follows :—The crops generally exhibit a greatly improved appearance. Wheat trade has continued in the same lifeless state as reported last week; this is to be accounted for by the dull, d iscouraging state of the flour trade, •owing to an I ncreased supply of vegetables at this period to corn- Pete with bread, and to the naturally decreased consumption of food in hot weather. Foreign arri /rale are again considerable, but millers and bakers are known to be generally very short of stock. /D ar market to-day partonk of quite a holiday cha racter, the fair and the horse show having more at tractions than a miserably dull market. In the absence of any pressure to sell prices remain n ominally as last quoted. Fine red, 665. to 68s. ; c ommon, 58s. to 625. ; white, 68s. to 725. ; all per qr of 4961b5. Foreign wheat, being now relatively cheape r than English, found a few buyers in retail at a reduction of Is. to 2s per qr. on Chilian. The report of the St. John Del Rey Mining Com pany, to be presented at the meeting on the 27th instant, states that the net profit on the working of t he mines from the 32d March, 1866, to the 23d larch, 1867, amounted to £112,681, out of which P 1,867 has been applied to dividend and reserve fu nd, leaving an available balance of £60,814, from Which the directors would have the satisfaction of r ecommendi n g an increased dividend at the rate of 1 0e. per share, free of Income-tax. Messrs. Price, Holyland, and Waterhouse, the Liquidators of the Bank of Turkey, have issued notice of a general meeting on the 21st instant, L a nd also a report of their proceedings. They state that there is a balance of cash in hand amounting t 0 £5,865, but until the result of the suit in Chan cell is adjusted a further return cannot be made. In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days there has been a moderate a mount of business entered into. Sugars have fully maintained previous rates, while the public lal ea of tea have concluded without any material r ange being established in values. Coffee has re mained at steady prices, while in tallow the ope rations have been on too limited a scale to cause an y material 'change in quotations. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures re main steady at 31 33, and the Consolidated hortgage Bonds at 24f 25k. The traffic receipts on the Atlantic and Great "catern Railway for the third week in May amounted to $117,668, against $117,308 in the eo r reepondina week last year, showing an increase (4 060. c' r •th e Bank of England return completed to the th instant is again of a very satisfactory character. 8 regards the strength of the establishment the bullion has been increased by £376,074, and there ; 414 0 an augmentation in the reserve o f notes of r ,: 96 ,835 ; the other securities show a diminution i s' £223,479 , w hile a large increase is perceptible 11 t he public deposits by the active co l le ction of the res erve.

William Jelley and John Hall were indicted for unlawfully combining, confederating, and agreeing together, with divers others, to force by means of threats and molestation one Margaret Itattenbury, a person employed in the business of a tailor, to depart from her employment, hiring, and work. Sergeant Ballantine appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Keene, QC., was for the defence. The Learned Sergeant, in his opening address to the said they were pr o b a bl y aware th a t i n former jury, persons were n o t a ll owe d to com bi ne ury, times together to raise the rate of wages. So far back, however, as 1825 an act was passed which provided that it was not illegal to combine together to effect that object ; but it also provided that if any person should, by violence, or threats, or by intimidation, molestation, or obstruction, endeavour to force another person to depart from his work, or from accepting work or employment, he should be guilty of punishable with im pr i sonmen t. an o Doubts were afterwards entertained as to what was a molesting within the meaning of that statute, and in 1859 an Act was passed according to which it was perfectly clear that any person had a right to refuse to work for any wages that might be offered, and had a l so a right to combine with others not to work, and to persuade others to abstain from working. All that was perfectly lawful, but what was not lawful was . the preventing others from working, if they pleased, by threats or intimidation. The person so threatened and molested by the prisoners was a tailoress named Margaret Rattenbury, and she was in the employ of Mr. Bowater, one of the masters, whose hands had taken part in the strike. The prosecutrix was met by the prisoners, after receiving work from Mr. Bowater, and after persuasion had proved abortive they told her it would be worse for her in the long run if she did not refuse to work for one who had refused to agree to the demand of their men for an increase of wages. The evidence was given at length in The Sun on the occasion of the examination, and committal of the prisoners for trial by Mr. Knox, at the Marl borough-street police-court. The jury retired to deliberate upon their verdict. Upon tieir return into court they found the pri sonir [Lill not guilty, and convicted Jelly of in timidation. Sentence deferred. "'Robert George Dean, traveller, was indicted for embezzling various sums of money, the property of his employer !James Anderson. Thejury found him guilty, and he was sentenced to nine months' imprisonment with bard labour. THE REFORM BILL.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) FORTH V. FORTH. The Queen's Advocate and Mr. Cooper for the petitioner. The petitioner in this case was Mr. Charles Forth, a Baptist minister and registrar of births and deaths at BAsford, near Nottingham. lle sued for a separation on the ground of his wife's cruelty, and 'she pleaded a counter allegation to the same effect. The parties had been married several years, and had had six children, of whom five survived. The petitioner had also a son and daughter by a former wife. He charged the respondent with great harshness to her step-children, with in cessant quarrelling, and with numerous acts of vio lence, the details of which he gave at considerable length. Her conduct was such that his deacon had requested her to withdraw from the church. So much scandal had, however, been created that he had felt obliged to resign his pastorate. He had originally received a salary of £125 a year for the chapel, but he had been compelled to ask one of his deacons frum whom he had derived fully. a third of it to resign. At present he had nothing to live on but about £7O derived from his registrarship and an agency to an insurance office. He was corroborated by several witnesses. On the other hand, the respondent, who gave her evidence with astounding volubility, denied a great part of her husband's story, and explained the rest of it away, protesting, in addition, that he was guilty of gross harshness and violence to her and to her children. Mr. Mortby said he was a surgeon at Basford• He first attended Mrs. Forth in 1858. He attended her last in 1860. He could not say much of the petitioner's conduct to his wife, for he seldom saw him with her. She was euffering from a disease which precluded her from saying much about any thing. Mrs. Wingrove said that she kept a shop at Bas ford, and had several conversations with Mr. Forth relative to Mrs. Forth. She considered that Mr. Forth behaved badly to her. Cross-examined—She was unfriendly to Mr. Forth. She had asked him once whether his wife behaved better to Jemima Ann. She thought she neglected the girl, and did not wish her to go to school. Ann Daft said that she had several conversations with Mr. Forth, and he had said that she was a " wretch," and that he would strangle her. She would often ask whether Mr. Forth was kinder to the children, and he said that he had sent Minnie to school at Grantham, and that he would teach FrederiCk to kick her shins. Ann Purschrub had been servant to the petitioner in 1863, and remained there three months. He had called her a base lying woman to her. A monthly nurse gave similar testimony. The petitioner contradicted the evidence of the [ast witnesses. Dr. Spinks said that this was a most extraordi nary case, and more singular than any perhaps that had come before that Court, for it appeared that the parties actually lived in the same house up to the present moment. If it had been a suit for the restitution of conjugal rights, the Court would not entertain the suit. lie DOW contended that by the evidence it was fully shown that the husband was not in any way afraid of his wife, nor in fear of violence. The fact was that he wanted to get rid of the step-mother of his children and not his wife The dwelling in the same house surely would induce the court to dismiss the petition. Sir Robert Phillimore having summed up for the petitioner, The Judge-Ordinary, after having elaborately summed up the evidence, pronounced a decree for a judicial separation on the part of the husband. POLICE INTELLIGEfiCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A SPORTING BEGGIII.7-ThOalas Warwick, a rough looking boy about 13 years of age, was charged before Mr Knox with begging. Francis Allwood, 186 C, proved seeing the boy begging in South Audley-street, and receive money, and he then took him into custody. At the station a sixpence was found upon him, and a book cled "The Adventures and Career of Tom Galloway, the Boy Jockey," and also the programme of a St. Leger sweep. The boy said he had been to the races, and was coming home when the constable took him into custody. Mr. Knox asked the boy whether his friends were living. The boy said they were. Mr. Knox said he should remand the boy for the attend ance of his friends, at the same time remarking that the boy appeared to be begging in order to speculate in horse races. TIIAMES. THOROUGHLY ASHAMED OF HIMSELF.— John Cadman, who was also called Cadamy, a portly, middle-aged man, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with being drunk and incapable of taking care of himself, and assaulting Police-constable Ne. 396 R. Last night the prisoner was found lying on the foot path in the East India-road, helplessly intoxicated. A policeman aroused him and told hint to go home. The prisoner was unable to stand or walk, and the constable marched him off to the station-house. The prisoner was violent and abusive, and struck the policeman. The prisoner said he was very sorry for what he had done. Ile took too much drink last night—it overpowered him. Mr. Paget—What are you ? Prisoner—A master mariner. Mr. Paget— 01 what ship are you master ? Prisoner—Of a schooner down the river. Mr. Paget —You have men under your command. What control can you have over them when they learn, as they will do most probably, that you have been charged with being helplessly drunk. The prisoner, who was very restless in the dock, said. "I am thoroughly ashamed of myself." Mr. Paget—So you ought to be. You are fined 40s. The prisoner paid the fine directly. CRUELTY TO A HORSE.—Thomas Lansby, a youth in the service of Mr. Thomas Barger, wino cooper, 35, Miuories, was charged at the instance of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals with working ono of his master's horses in an unfit condition. The prisoner was driving a horse and cart, with a hogs head of wine. The animal was suffering much, and there was a sore on the near shoulder as large as a five shilling piece. The collar pressed against the wound, and the horse was in great agony. _ . The prisoner said the warm weather affected the horse, and that the foreman of his master's stables did not know the horse was in the condition represented. Thomas Walton, 882 K, an officer of the court, said the horse was not fit to be worked. The wound was an old one, and the warm weather had nothing to do with it at all. The prisoner's master said afterwards, in his favour, he took the horse out, knowing no better. The Magistrate said the horse must not be worked any longer in its present condition. He find the prisoner 10e., which his master ought to pay. • Mr. Barrer paid the fine. CUSTOMS OFFICERS AND REFORM.—By an old itateda George 111. cus tom-house take part in the act tom of -h Parliamentouse officials p a s a s r e e d Il i n o t h p e e r r i e n ig election of members of Parliament, a disability which does not attach to those employed in many other departments of the public s3rvics. This invidious distinction has long excited the antagonism of numerous employes in our cus toms' service, and at their request Sir Harry Verney has given notice of a clause in the new Reform Bill to repeal the old act above mentioned. Sir 11. Verney has received strong promisas of support from both sides of the house, and the following letter has boon received from Mr. John Bright, to whom the customs committee had written : "Rochdale, June 10, 1867.—Dear Sirs,—l have received many letters and memorials on the subject to which you refer, and to which I have not thought it needful to return any answer. I read them, and the subject is not forgotten, but the pressure of my correspondence is often such that I save myself fromthe labour of a reply when I can properly do so. I cannot pledge myself to your friends as to the course I shall take in the house, but I am disposed to think that the votes of officers of the customs departments should be allowed, or the exclusion should be carried into other departments to which it has not yet.boon applied.--I am, &c.— JOHN BRIGHT." LOSS OF A STEAMER AT SEA.—Captain Roach, of the screw steamer Prince, which has just arrived at Hull from the Baltic, reports that while at sea, the Dud geon light bearing S.E. by E. distant about seven miles, he passed a sunken vessel, supposed to be a steamer, with three polo masts, about fifteen feet out of water. The name of the vessel is at present unknown, nor was the captain able to form any idea as to whether it was an English or foreign vessel. Combinations by Workmen. (From the Solicitors' Journal.) The law with respect to combinations by work men stands at present in a position so uncertain and anomalous that we are justified in again calling attention to it with particular reference to the case of " Skinner v. Kith" recently decided in the Queen's Bench, and reported in the current num ber of the Weekly Reporter. That case has been rather erroneously viewed as an original authority deciding that an intimation of an intention to strike with the view of influencing the master was a threat within the statute 6 Geo..IV. c. 129, s. 3. The Court indeed held this, but as long ago as the case of " Walsby v. Anley," . 9 NV. 11. 271, it had been held that a threat made by a workman, in conjunc with others, that they would all cease work itrime diately unless the master discharged certain other workmen who were in his employ under particular terms, was a threat of car rying out an unlawful combination, and was, therefore, a threat within thee 6th Gco. IV c. 129, s. 3, which makes it unlawful by threats to. endeavour to force a master to limit the description of his workmen. The next case, " O'Neil v: Long man," 11 W. R. 947, puts the matter in a still plainer light as to its being sufficient to bring the case within the statute if there be a threat to carry out some unlawful purpose, not of necessity a threat of violence. It is not our intention to go into the question whether on the words of the statute this interpretation was right. The matter having been decided by the Court of Queen's Bench, and there being no appeal, we must take the law to be as laid down in the first-mentioned case, and content ourselves with showing what are the effects it. It should be observed that in these cases the only point was threat or no threat within the meaning of the statute, but in the next case that arose, " Shelbourne v. Oiver," it be came incidentally a matter of interest whether a combination to strike against a particular workman, which according to the first case was a threat came within the latter part of the section as an attempt to limit the description of the workmen em ployed by the master. The facts there were briefly that the workmen of the respondent had all struck, with the exception of one man of the name of James. They agreed to return, and did so, but on finding James there they again gave over work. The leader of a deputation to the master told him that James should not work, and that unless he was discharged the other men should not be allowed to work. On the authority of " Walsby v. Anley" the conviction was sustained, though in that case the question of description does not appear to have been raised. " Shelbourne v. Oliver" cannot, in fact, be distin guished from " Skinner v. Ditch," which may there fore be taken as re-affirming the principle that the term " description of workman" may be read apart from the other words of the section, and taken to mean not a description derived from the distinctive part of the trade which the particular workman carries on, but in a much wider sense a personal description—as, for instance, whe ther he belongs, or does not belong, to a particular society ; whether he is English, Scotch, or Belgian; whether he has red hair or the like. The law on the subject is thus reduced to this singular con dition :—A workman may decline to work for an employer on the ground that one of his fellow workmen is of a " description" offensive to him ; and he may of course inform his master to that ef fect. In other words, one workman may strike on these grounds, the question of his success in the strike not entering into the discussion, but depend ing on other considerations, such as the compara tive value to the employer of the workman striking and the one struck against. It is clear that what one may do any number may do inde pendently; but whether a combination is legal or illegal is a point about which it is im possible, on the confficting decisions, to give a de cisive opinion. This, however, is perfectly clear, on the authorities, that whether workmen may or may not combine to do what one inly do with im punity, at least they must be very careful how they inform the master of their combination and its ob jects. A check is thus put on any attempt to settle a dispute on such a subject. Directly those who are not, and indeed practically cannot 1)., punished for combining and striking, opn their mouths to explain the grievance that has induce 4 them to take the step, they may at once become liable to all the consequences of threatening. There is, it is true, a limitation established by the case of " Wood v. Bouron," 15 W. R. 58. In that case men struck in accordance with a resolution of a society to which they belonged, and in answer to the employer the resolution was communicated to him. It was held that, in the absence of any evidence to show that the letter communicating the resolution, though appArently an explanation, was iu fact meant as a threat, a con viction could not bo sustained. In other wor3s, a subtle diitinction must be taken 'between an expla nation of the reasons that have influenced the men in answer to inquiries from the master and a spon taneous communication to him of these very same reasons ; or else the cases must mean that there is some difference between exphining reasons for doing a future and having done a past act. No other meaning, we venture to say, can be attached to these cases, unless they are to be taken as in direct conflict, and whichever view is taken, it is obvious that great hindrances are thrown in the way of explanation, which is the first step to settlement of differences. It is also evident that great responsibility is thrown on magi strates in determining the nice question of the dif ference between an explanation of the motive to strike, accompanied by a statement that a strike will be carried out; and the like explanation with a threat that the strike will be carried out. We can only, in conclusion, recommend a perusal of these cases to the members of the Commission now sitting, and express a hope that, by the united wisdom of Parliament, some remedy may be found for a state of things so uncertain, and, at the same time, so prejudicial to the interests of working men and masters alike.

BAYLIS, TAVAN, AND COOPER.—In the Court of Divorce yesterday, theJ udge-Ordivary, in intimating that he should take further time to consider his judgment in this case, observed that as the law would not allow of the examination of the respondent, and it would be unfair to her to take from the petitioner alone the history of the married life, he should not require Mr. Baylis to be placed in the witness-box. Under the heading " The Mormons and the Universal Exhibition," the Libertd has a long account of two Mormon representatives who have just arrived at Paris, and with whom the writer has visited the building. One of the envoys is the second son of Brigham Young ; the other is a man named Richards, who, before leaving for Europe, was President of the Emigration Committee. Brigham Young, junior, though not yet thirty, Las two wives and a large family, while his companion has four Wives and 22 children. Neither of the representatives can speak a word of French, but our Paris contemporary ap pears neverthless to have extracted from them 4 good deal of information. . . Railways.

The SPEAKER took the chair at two o'clock. VACCINA.TION BILL. On the motion for the recommittal of this bill, Lord R. MONTAGUE stated the objects of the bill, the chief of which was to assimilate the law of England with that of Scotland, which made it compulsory that all chil dren be vaccinated within six months of birth. The fear ful disease of small-pox had greatly decreased in that country since the law had been in operation, and, there fore, he thought it highly important that such a law should be in force in England. Sir J. C. JERVOISE moved, as an amendment, that the consideration of the bill be postponed till after the report of the medical officers of the Privy Council, 1866, shall have been distributed. Col. BARTELOTT supported the amendment. He thought it highly inexpedient to pass such a stringent measure before any inquiry had been instituted whether vaccination was right or wrong. lie thought, under such circumstances, it was extremely hard to make all heads of families liable to a fine of 205., who neglected to apply for and fill up certain forms set forth in the act. Mr. BRUCE supported the bill, which he said con tained no new proposal, as compulsory vaccination was at the present moment the law of the laud. All the measure did was to collect the whole of the scattered enactments on the subject of vaccination into one bill, which intro duced great improvements in the machinery for carrying it into operation. The bill made ex ceptions in case of the state of health of the child; and with respect to the efficiency of vaccination, he stated that the principal medioal officer of the Smallpox Hospital, whose experience extended over twenty years led him to the opinion that in cases of non-vaccination the deaths from smallpox was 3 to 1, whilst the proportion amongst those vaccinated properly the deaths were only 1 in 300. He thought nothing but prejudice stood in the way of a general adoption of the safeguard, and the sooner that was broken down the better. Tho bill proposed that the public vaccinators should be adequately remunerated, and that registrars should also:participate in the improved scale of payments proposed b y the bill. lie was quite awaie that there were matters of detail which led to much difference of opinion, but they could be settled in com mittee, and ho therefore ho p ed t h e house would proceed with the bill. w as strongly opposed to that porti Mr. HENLEY objecte d to the doentaoilfstohfetmheeabsiullr,eawnhdichhe the various stations for vaccination, because such effects. He made it compulsory for parents to bring their child a r u ento thought it should be optional whether vaccination ar rangement was likely to produce very bad was further, he done at the parent's home or the station ; l to do that to thought the attempt to drive the pe?I" to result • which they bad an objection was not likely in a very great success. Dr. BRADY said that he believed it was the general opinion of the medical profession that compulsory vaccina tion was necessary for the welfare of socuity, and there fore he shoula give his support to the bill. Mr. LOWE thought that the poor children who die through not being vaccinated ought to be as much con sidered by hon. gentlemen as those children who, they said, were submitted to the pain of having four punctured wounds inflicted on their arms, and then having them re opened on the eighth day. He felt that the bill was an exceedingly good one, and he therefore hoped the house would go into committee, and thereby do something t o wards perfecting a measure which was calculated to diminish the deaths from small-pox, which swept off the people by thousands. Mr. E.ENDALL was in favour of the bill, but ho hoped The undermentioned officers of the Royal Artillery, having completed the qualifying service in the rank of Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel, to be Colonels, under the pro-- visions of the Royal Warrant of 3rd February, 1866, viz.:— Captain and Brevet Lieut.-Colonel Charles Hodgkinson Smith; Captain and Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel John Edward Michell; Captain and Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel Henry Peel Yates ; Captain and Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel Nathaniel Octavius Simpson Turner.

On June 28, 1850, she received a violent blow with a stick from ono Robert Plate, a retired lieutenant of the 10th Hussars. The Kings of Prussia.—ln May, 1850, the late King of Prussia received, as he was mounting a railway carriage, a shot from a holster pistol of large bore, in the fore arm ; the assassin, Sefelago, of Wetslow, cried out as he fired, " Liberty for ever !" The life of the present King of Prussia was in dan ger at Baden on the morning of July 14, 1861. Two pistol shots were fired at him by Oscar Becker, a law student at Leipsic. The regicide declared that he wished to kill tae King, because he was not cap able of effecting the unity of Germany. The Emperor of Austria.—On February 8, 1853, at Vienna, Francis Joseph 1. was struck with a knife in the nape of the neck. The murderer's name was Libenny, of Albe, in Hungary, aged 20, resident at Vienna, and a tailor by trade.

Napoleon lII.—In October, 1852, when Napo leon, who was on the eve of becoming Emperor, was at Marseilles, there had been prepared au infernal machine, formed of 250 gun-barrels charged with 1,500 balls, intended to go off all at once against the Prince and his cortege.

The am endment was negatived without a division, and hte house went into committee on the bill. Clauses 1 to 4 were agreed to without amendment. On clause 5 a discussion arose relative to the duty of the Government ins pector going round the country examin ing the childr en to ascertain whether vaccination bad been well and successfully done, upon which the reward of the medical men would depend. Mr. HENL EY thought the proposal was likely to lead to great inconvenience, and Mr. M. Chambers thought it a reflection upon the medical profession that a Govern ment inspector should go round to ascertain whethe r me dical gentlemen of high honour had done their duty; he therefore moved that the clause be shuck out. Dr. Brady thought the medical loan ought to be paid Well for his work, and then t here would be no necessity /Or rewards. The clause was ultimately agreed to. Oil clause G being proposed, which enacted that children should be brought to appointed stations for vaccination, Mr. HENLEY moved to striko3 out the words '•ap pinted station," in order that vaccination might take . placi either at the hous e o f th e a p po i nte d me di cal man or at the homes of the parents of the children, and that the vac..inator might receive payment for the operation per formed wader such circumstances, because as the bill stood the vaczinator was only to receive payment for these • children vaccinated at the station. Lord ROI3EILT MONTAGU would not oppose the amendment, tecause that appeared to be the object of the bill. The amendment was with , lrawn on the understanding that the intention of that part of tho clause should be more clearly defined: Dr. BRADY then moved his amendment, which related to the remuneration public vaccinators should receive. The house was engaged on this discussion up to seven o'clock, when the sitting was suspended until nine. LONDON GAZETTE.-T} 1S EVENING. WAR OFFICE, PALL MALL, JUNE 14.
