OLD COURT. (Before the Recorder.) Charles Jones was indicted for shooting George Biondi, with intent to do him grievous bodily harm. From the evidence it appeared that the prosecutor was walking along George-street, Shad well, with a female, when the prisoner came up and said, " You're the man I've been looking for a long time." Ile then struck the prosecutor a blow, which he returned, and a struggle ensued. The prisoner then ran across the street, and shortly afterwards he fired a pistol and wounded the prosecutor in the shoulder. On being taken into custody a revolver was found in his hand, four of the chambers of which were loaded, and the fifth bore the appearance of having been just discharged. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and the Recorder sentenced him to nine months' imprisonment. Three young men named Hawkins, Batchelor, and Flaherty were indicted for stealing a brooch and other articles from Ann Colliver. Mr. Sleigh, instructed by the Associate Institution for Enforcing the Laws for the Protection of Women, con ducted the prosecution. From the evidence it appears that the prosecutrix arrived in town from Colney Hatch with the intention of stopping a short time in town. She was unfortunately met by the prisoners, with whom she was induced Ito enter a public house. Having partaken of some drink she became insen sible, and in that state was dragged to a house of ill-fame and there robbed of everything she possessed. A charge of rape was preferred yesterday against Hawkins, but the jury acquitted him, and to-day the whole of the prisoners were tried for the robbery. The jury found all the prisoners guilty. _ _ Police-constable Cooke of the S division informed the Court that Batchelor had before been imprisoned for being found on two occasions in dwelling-houses with intent to commit robbery. Hawkins was a very desperate fellow, and he also had been in prison for being concerned in a bur glary. Flaherty was the constant associate of thieves, but with respect to Adams he knew nothing. The Recorder sentenced Hawkins to six years, Batchelor to four years, and Flaherty to three years' penal servitude. Adams was ordered to be imprisoned for 18 months. NEW COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) Two men, named Williams and Macguire, were indicted for feloniously entering certain premises situated in Old Broad-street, City, with intent to commit felony. The prisoners were found in one of the rooms of Gresham House after it had been locked up for the night, and three or four skeleton keys were discovered very near the count ing -house door. The jury found both prisoners guilty, and they were Ben eneed to two years' imprisonment, POLICE INTELLIGENCE —(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH -STREET. ROBBERY AT AN OPTICIAN'R.—A N IMPUDENT THIEF. —Henry Williams, a young man, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, as follows Mr. Wm. Tinderley, optician, Piccadilly, said that be tween 8 and 9 last night the prisoner entered the shop, and he being in the parlour saw the prisoner take up something from the counter. On going into the shop the prisoner said, " Oh, what will it cost to repair an opera-glass." He told the prisoner that would depend on the size, and asked him what he had taken from the counter. The prisoner coolly replied, "Oh dear, nothing, you can search me if you like," and then made his way to the door and walked as far as St. James's Church when he took to his heels, but he cried out " Stop him," and pursued him, and with the assistance of a man he was brought back, and as soon as he entered the shop he threw something over the counter which turned out to be three eye •glasses, and afterwards said he had never seen them. The prisoner, who bounced a good deal and conducted himself in an impudent manner, was said by Mr. Inspector Holden to belong to " Thompson's " gang over the water. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner for Inquiries to be made as to his antecedents. EXTENSIVE EMBEZZLEMENT BY AN APPRENTICE.— Davies, apprentice to Mr. Barton, manufacturing iron monger, of 370, Oxford-street, was again brought up, very little evidence having been given when the case first appeared. Mr. E. E. Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. W. Venn, of New Inn Chambers, for the prisoner. Mr. Peers, in Mr. Barton's employ ; Mr. Nicholson, builder, Wandsworth; and Mr. C. Child, of 68, George street, Portman-square, ironmonger, proved paying the prisoner different sums of money. Mr. Barton said the prisoner had been his out-door ap prentice two years, and acted as cashier in his absence. He had received none of the sums paid by the persons present, nor had they been entered in the cash-book as they should have been. His loss teas Omni £lOO. Mr. Venn cross-examined Mr. Barton with the view of showing the prisoner might have handed over sums with out entering them in the cash-book, but Mr. Barton denied Sergeant Joy, 9 C, having 'proved taking the prisoner nto custody at his lodgings, he was then committed for trial. THAMES. THE DANGER OF THROWING STONES.—William Miles, aged 14, a wood chopper, of No. 5, Maze-row, Oak-lane, Limehouse, was brought before Mr. Selib charged with wilfully throwing stones and breaking a square of plate glass, value £lO, the property of L. P. Cross, grocer of No. 2, Wellington-terrace, Limehouse. It appeared that the prisoner was amusing himself in throwing stones, and in hurling one at another boy he sent the stone through a large sheet of plate glass in the shop window, and it was smashed. It was stated that the sheet of glass was worth £lO. Mr. Selfe said the boy did not throw the stone with the intent to break the window, and if he did he could not order him to pay £lO. He fined the boy ss. for throwing stones in a public street. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. The supply of beasts on offer in to-day's market was only moderate, and all kinds moved off slowly at Monday's decline in the quotations. We were well supplied with sheep. Prime Downs and half-breds commanded a steady sale at full currencies ; otherwise, the mutton trade was in a sluggish state, on former terms. Prime lambs sold steadily, inferior breeds slowly, at Monday's prices, viz., from 5s to Gs per 81b. Calves wore in good supply, and heavy request, at barely late rates. There was only a limited business doing in pigs and milch cows, at last week's currency. Per Sib, to sink the offal. s. d. s, d, s. d. S. d.

EXTRAORDINARY SCENE IN A POLICE COURT. —Mary Smith, a woman about 40 years of age, and Cathe rine Kelly, 23 years of age, both being resp ec t a bly d resse d, were charged at the Bristol P olice Court, on M on d ay, w i t h picking a lady's pocket. Both the p r i soners pleaded for mercy in a most impassioned manner—shedding te ars copiouslyhowever andfallingi m ploringly ou their knees. The Bench, committed, them f or t r i al. The Bristol .Daily Post says :—" Smith, d ur ing the examination, had been observed several times to put her hand t o h er b osom , where it was subsequently made evident she had concealed a small penk n if e .

She screamed, and resisted the officers to a con siderable extent, but was overpowered and carried out of court," IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS—YESTERDAY , The SPEAKER, took the chair at twelve o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Dumfries, Lochmaben, and Lockerby Junction Rail way, and the Hammersmith, Paddington, and City Jitnc tion Railway Bills were considered and ordered for third reading. HIBERNIAN MILITARY SCHOOL, DUBLIN. Mr. MAGUIRE moved for a copy of correspondence between the Rev. Mr. Leonard and the Lord Lieutenant, in reference to the death of pensioner James Harrison, and the alleged refusal on the part of the resident authorities of the school to permit the Rev. Mr. Leonard to visit the said James Harrison.—Agreed to. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE, Col. FRENCH gave notice that he would ask the noble lord at the head of the Government whether, seeing that the present mode of conducting the business of the house was a complete failure, a select committee would be ap pointed to consider the propriety of making 5.7 me further change in the standing orders. FICTITIOUS SAVINGS BANKS BILL. Sir F. BARING moved that the house go into committee on this bill, which made it a misdemeanour to call banks " savings banks" - which were not under the law of savings banks. Mr. W. FOSTER objected to the bill, on the ground that it would lead to an impression that Government gua ranteed the depositors in savings banks, which was not the case. He thought they ought to postpone further legisla tion on the subject, especially as it would interfere with a great many works which were at present doing a great deal of good. He should move as an amendment that the house go into committee that day three_months. Mr. BAINES seconded the amendment. He knew a large number of banks connected with Sunday-schools, managed by pions and benevolent persons, and these would be seriously interfered with. It was said that those would not be interfered with, so long as they did not use the word "savings," but that was the great charm of these banks. Mr. HENLEY opposed the bill on the same ground. Every child knew the meaning of the word " savings," and he could find no word that could be substituted for it. Mr. BAXTER said that there were in Scotland many savings banks conducted by gentlemen merely for the good of the working classes, and for no purposes of profit. The guarantee to the depositors was excellent, and he did not see any reason to interfere with them by such a bill as this. Mr. HUB BARD considered that this bill was calculated to protect those who were not able to protect them selves. The hon. gentleman quoted statistics connected with several existing institutions with a view to show that Parliamentary interference was absolutely necessary for the protection of the public. Mr. DENT said that in the town he represented (Sear borough) there were 18,000 inhabitants, out of which there were 11,000 depositors in savings banks, 1,000 of whom were connected with schools. The deposits did not amount to more than £5OO, but the banks were admirably con ducted. and he should be sorry to see them interfered with. Sir G. LEWIS considered that the bill went a very long way in penal legislation. He thought some qualification might be put in, showing that banks were not in connection with the Government, which woald remove objections to the bill, but he could not approve a bill which visited heavy penalties upon persons who might have no . fraudulent in tentions. After some further discussion the bill was withdrawn. CHURCH RATES LAW AMENDMENT BILL. Mr. HUBB ARD spoke on the order for the second reading of this bill. He remarked that the only measure which had received any favour in that house was one for the total abo lition of church rates, but the majorities in favour of that bill had so diminished that both parties might now be said to be on an equality. It must be re membered that the Church of England was the National Church, but that the greatest toleration should be allowed to all who differed from its doctrines or discipline. No doubt the abolition bill was the first of a series of attacks upon the National Church, and which, if they had succeeded, would have prevented members of that Church from regulating their own affairs by taxing themselves. He was willing to exempt Dissenters from such taxation, and that object the bill he now proposed would secure. There were four main points in the bill.-1. The question what was the legitimate purpose of a church rate. 2. To provide that modern ecclesiastical districts should be formed into parishes so far as church rates were concerned. 3. To transfer all litigation from the ecclesiastical courts to the quarter sessions, the county courts, or the su perior courts. 4. To assimilate the manner in which church rates were collected to the mode in which the poor rates were raised, A clause was also introduced which would exempt a person from the payment of church rates, who declared himself a Nonconformist. He was afraid that ho should have no chance of carrying the bill through this session, and he should therefore withdraw H, bill. (Mar, hear.) J.fir TRELA.AVNY hoped that no other bill would be brought in this year on the subject of church rates. Mr. B. STANHOPE thought that if any plan of exemption were agreed to, it should be one that did not draw any hard, line of demarcation between Churchmen and Dissenters. Sir J. TRELAWNY said that Churchmen had many opinions amongst themselves on the subject of church rates. He hoped that they would be able to agree upon some definite plan before next session. Mr. DUN do MB E said there was no intention of Dissen ters out of doors to compromise this question of church rates. It was only in that house that compromise was talked about. Now that the question had been shelved, the Nonconformists would have to commence the struggle anew, and he had no doubt that ere long they would be successful. Sir J. PAKINGTON thought the time had arrived when they ought to decide upon some amicable settlement of this long disputed question. The present law of church rates was not satisfactory to the Church ; and for the interests of the Church itself compromise of some sort was necessary. Mr. HEYGATE thought the bill proposed by Mr. Cross was the only really conciliatory measure that had been brought before the house, and he hoped it would not suffer from being introduced so late in the session. - Mr. CONINGHAM believed that any compromise was out of the question, and that nothing b u t t o t a l a b o liti on would satisfy the onconformists. Sir C. DOUGLAS said that though he was in favour of abolition of church rates, he should not be indisposed to listen to terms of compromise. The bill was then withdrawn. NEW MEMBER. Colonel LUKE WHITE took the oaths and his seat for Longford, in the room of Colonel Henry White, resigned. He was introduced by Colonel French and Mr. Lefroy. VACCINATION BILL. On the order for going into committee on this bill, Mr. DUNCOMBE said that the bill was not only inju rious in itself but it involved a gross breach of faith. Two years ago it was agreed that compulsory legislation upon this point should be postponed until there had been a Parliamentary investigation, which had not taken place. Medical men differed on the subject of vaccination, and if a committee were appointed, many men of the highest medi cal reputation would be prepared to come forward and show that it was useless. Others considered that it was only use ful for seven years, while others thought that it might be useful so long as it was not compulsory. He suggested that the bill should be withdrawn and a full inquiry insti tuted into the whole matter. He moved, as an amendment, that the house resolve itself into committee that day three months. Mr. CONINGHAM seconded the amendment. Mr. LO WE said that compulsory vaccination was now the law of the land, but there was a defect in the act which did not enable the parties concerned to 'sue for penalties. The right hon. gentleman entered into a variety of statistics to show the usefulness of vaccination. In 18.57, 539 letters were sent out by his office to gentlemen of the highest re putation in medicine, to ascertain from them whether their opinions were in favour of vaccination, and 537 of them answered in the affirmative. Any inquiry of the house of Commons would, under such circumstances, be a shameful waste of time. All the present bill proposed was that the Poor Law authorities should be allowed to prosecute when necessary under this act, and that official persons should be entitled to their expenses. Mr. MITFORD supported the bill, considering that the present system was inefficacious and inoperative. Mr. CONINGHAM considered that Parliament had no right to interfere in the manner proposed. The amendment was negatived without a division, and the house went into committee on the bill. Clause 1 was agreed to. On clause 2, which provided that the charges should be borne by the parish, Mr. AYItTON moved as an amendment that the charge should be borne by the union. The committee then divided, when there appeared— For the amendment 44 Against it Majority —26 The amendment was rejected. Mr. HASSARD asked if the act extended to Ireland. Mr. LO WE replied it did not. Mr. HENLEY objected to rewards being given to pub lic informers. He moved an amendment to prevent such a practice. The amendment was agreed to. The other clauses of the bill were agreed to, with a few verbal amendments, and the Chairman reported progress. METROPOLIS LOCAL MANAGEMENT ACT AMENDMENT BILL. Mr. TITE moved the second reading of this bill. Mr. LOCKE rose to order. He said he was on a former occasion addressing the house on the bill when it was counted out; therefore he thought it was an adjourned de bate. The SPEAKER said such a proceeding could not be considered an adjournment of the debate. Mr. TITE then proceeded. He said the object of the bill was to amend certain provisions of the act of 1855. It had been said the Metropolitan Board of Works had done nothing but build themselves a palace at Spring-gardens. That he denied. They had the r i g ht t o di spose o f the old premises in Greek-street, and it was fully expected that it would realize as much as the new building. They had also been charged with neglecting the groat work of main drainage. That was not the fact. They had pro ceeded with the work, and they had forty-five miles under contract; and he had the authority of Mr. Bazalgetto to state that within two years the metropolis would be relieved of a large portion of the sewage which was emptied into the Thames. The only object of the bill was to explain and extend the authority of the district boards, and he therefore hoped the house would on that occasion read the bill a second time. Mr. LOCKE said the present measure was a most ob jectionable one, and certainly instead of being taken. when there were so few members present, it ought to be discussed in all its provisions when there was a full a ttendance. He cont mded that the Metropolitan Board of Works did not possess the confidence of the inhabitants of the metropolis. The The bill comprised no less than 116 clauses , and f the second reading was carried, heaven alone could tell when it would pass through committee. He altogether ob jected to the bill, and thought it ought to be witbdrawn, for further consideration during the present session. The hon. member was addressing the house at a quarter to six, at which hour the debate, in accordance with the standing orders, was adjourned. TURNPIKE TRUSTS ARRANGEMENTS BILL. This bill was read a third time. DRUNKENNESS (IRELAND) BILL. This bill Was read a third time and passed. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the house adjourned.

Frederick Strugnell was indicted with attempting to murder Ann Redkinson. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and he was sen tenced to be transported for life. He was then, with two other men, named Quilter and Linney, indicted for stealing an iron box containing £lOO, the property of Mr. Higgins, Chapel-street, Islington. The jury found all the prisoners guilty, and each of them were sentenced to five years' penal servitude. 191 19 i 61 3 1i 17e 13.12.0 4.18.6) all 18.18.5 I 261 1 41 13e 6cl 123 135 35 38 l i t lk 5 _ 5t 174 43 46 290 310 80 90 95 105 la 6 8 9 11 13i 15i all 125.6 d CHILD MURDER. Eliza Wickens, a respectable-looking girl, only 17 years of age, was placed at the bar, charged with the wilful mur der of her own child. It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner was servant in a gentleman's family in the Tooting-road, and that she had been seized with the pains of labour about three o'clock in the morning. She aroused the housemaid, who slept with her. She rose out of bed, went down to the kitchen, lighted the fire, and made her a cup of tea. She was only absent about half an hour. On her return she discovered that the prisoner had been delivered of a child. She turned down the clothes, and then saw the prisoner's fingers in the child's mouth. The mistress being informed of the circumstance, sent for a surgeon, who attended on the child and mother, but the infant died ten minutes after his arrival. In his cross examination he admitted that the wounds in the child's mouth 'might have been caused by the mother in the agony of the pains of labour. The learned counsel for the prisoner having made a for cible address, the judge summed up, and the jury returned a verdict of concealment of the birth. The learned Judge objected to the verdict, and said there could have been no concealment of the birth, as the in fant could scarcely be said to have been born. The jury, after re-considering their verdict, acquitted the prisoner. THIS DAY'S SKIPPING. LONDON, July 11.—Wind this day at noon, South- Westerly ; moderate breeze, and fine weather.

ALLEGED MURDERS AT SEA.—Yesterday fore noon William Wilson, captain of the Severn, of Liverpool, was charged at the police-court there with having caused the deaths of the second mate and two of the crew under his command. The case of Charles Jones, the mate, came on the first. Richard Sale, a seaman, stated that on the homeward passage from Brass River there were ten white men on board, four of whom died on the passage. Four days after the ship left the bar the deceased was dis rated and turned out of the cabin, the witness could not tell why. Ho was sent shortly afterwards to steer, but being sick ho could not do so. The captain struck him on several occasions when he said he was ill. The day before his death he was ordered aloft to take in sail, but he fell on the fore castle in making the attempt. The captain then beat him violently. By advice of the men he crept into the forecastle, and lay down there, complaining of great pain all over his body. Next day he died. The witness saw the body. It was blue and discoloured all over. Wm. Johnson and John Spragg, seamen, corroborated the fore going evidence. Spragg saw the captain strike the mate on the morning of his death. The deceased said he could not stand, to which the captain replied, " I'll make you stand ;" and kicked him. At the conclusion of the examination of the witness last named the investigation was adjourned till Friday. ACCIDENTS IN COAL MINES.—The annual reports just published by the Government inspectors of mines show an increase of no less than 22 per cent, in the number of lives lost from mining accidents in 1860 as compared with 1859. The quantity of coal raised in 1860 is estimated at 72,000,000 tons; and the proportion of deaths was from explosions from firedamp one to each 193,347 tons raised; from falls in mines one to each 185,567 tons ; from accidents in shafts one to each 395,604 tons ; from miscellaneous ac cidents underground one for each 590,164 tons ; and from accidents at surface one for each 1,333,333 tons. The ave rage number of lives lost for each million tons of coals raised was 15 . 5 in 1859, and 15 . 4 in 1860, tho extraction of coal having rather more than kept pace with the increased sacri fice of life. It should be added that the number of accidents diminished to 5 per cent., but those which did occur were of a more fatal character. A YOUNG LADY KILLED AND TEN PERSONS IN JURED.—The Liverpool Daily Post of yesterday has the following :—" On Monday afternoon a pleasure party left Crewe for Trentham, and whilst they were in the fine park a terrific thunderstorm came on. Ten or eleven of the party sought refuge under a tree, which was shortly afterwards struck by she lightning, and the electric fluid struck dead a young lady from Crewe (daughter of a tradesman in that place), Land severely injured the whole of the surviving members of the party." THE RIOHMOND ELECTION. —At the weekly meeting of the Ballot Coinmittee on Tuesday, the assistant secretary reported that be had visited Richmond, and found that great disgust was felt by theelector i s n a to nd a o h t a h r e b r o iaar of a bitants at the borough being converted refuge for a Minister, unlikely to find a seat for any free constituency. G ro at desire is felt to throw off the shackles in which the Dundas family have so long held the borough, fr but the suddenne ss with which the election took place, too absence of any or g anised opposition to the dominant o r power s, and the apathy consequent on a political serfd om o f d a 30 years, precluded the possibility of bringing w can didate at this election, although had:local friends recom mendeda it the Ballot Committee were ready with their man. All therefore that could:be done was to sow the seed against, a future election, which was done by the issuing of ad dresses, and a large distribution of tracts on the ballot. This diffusion of political knowledge was most acceptable to the people of Richmond, the tr ac t s and addresses were eagerly sought after and read, and will form the subject of the town's talk for a conaiderable period of time, THE ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SO CIETY'S MEETING AT LEEDS. LEEDS, WEDNESDAY. The implement yard on the Kirkstall-road this morning presented a busy and animated appearance, the exhibitors having been engaged from au early hour in preparing for the judges. The entries in this department of the show far exceed anything in the history of the society, and the implements col lected together include every invention of recent years, the object of which is to facilitate agricul tural operations, and to render the results of farming more profitable and more productive. The great implement makers are well represented, there being no fewer than 358 stands, and the entries amount ing to the unprecedentedly large number of 5,488. The whole of the exhibitors were expected to have their implements ready for inspection this morning, but owing to unavoidable delays, the day had far advanced before the judges commenced their onerous duties, which are expected, from the severe competition, to occupy them until Saturday next. The gentlemen who have been selected for this he r y m a ka machines, Mr. position are :—For drills, Bze. ; Mr. Druce, Mr. John hung Thompson,haT.lrleuaspkeirnss,oB:e. ; n. For p oMr. Hicken, Mr. ilipwell, and Mr. Tindall. For carts, waggons, and miscellaneous articles--Mr. John Hannan (Secretary of the Y I •zshire • or Agricultural Association) and Mr. Renrick. The judges were engaged during the morning in selecting the various implements for trial. The trial of the steam cultivators on the heavy land commenced on Tuesday, in a field of about 50 acres at Garforth. The land consisted of about 50 acres of heavy clay soil—rig and furrow —which had been laid down with clover after barley, and eaten off with sheep. The land was in wh a t l ocal agriculturists call a very unkindly condition. The surface had been trodden during the heavy rains of spring, and afterwards baked by the hot suns of May and June, until it was as hard almost as a macadamised road, and the subsoil was pressed into a hard tenacious mass, with just sufficient moisture to make it adhere together in a solid stratum of clay. A more severe trial could scarcely have taken place, and looking at the difficultieS to be contended with, it was not to be wondered at that only the Messrs. Fowler and the Messrs. Howard appeared on the field. Land was measured out for these gen tlemen, a certain portion to be felled with the plough, and another portion to be scarified or culti vated, and they entered upon the work a little before noon. Both commenced with the three share ploughs, and the former went forward unin terruptedly at an average depth of six or eight inches until about two o'clock, when the second share came in contact with a tree root, which broke the standard. This was replaced, lout in the next turn the first share came in contact with a boulder two or three stones in weight, and again the standard snapped, and fears were entertained that the plough would have to be abandoned. Fortu nately, however, no other serious obstruction pre sented itself, and the work was continued in a very satisfactory manner. The Messrs. Howard were less successful. They began with their three-share reversible plough, which is not well adapted for the uneven surfaces occasioned by the old rig and furrow cultivation, and the furrows were only scraped. On the crown of the rigs the shares got well hold and did very fair work. There was a strong impression, however, that the implement was not equal to the land, and about two o'clock, the plough having got a deeper hold, there was a break down, one of the standards brealing off close by the framework. Some idea may be formed of the tenacious cha racter of the clay at this point, when we state that it was literally torn up in huge lumps. After this break down, Messrs. Howard continued with the scarifier. The weather was fine, and the work was watched by a number of intelligent farmers, who appeared to take great interest in what was going on. The trials were resumed this morning, and are expected not to conclude before Friday.i THE RIDE IN KENSINTON-GARDENS. An influential deputation, headed by Mr. S. Harvey Lewis, M.P., and Mr. Robert Hanbury, 11. P., had an interview with Lord Palmerston, at his residence in Piccadilly, on Tuesday evening, on the subject of the horse ride in Kensington gardens. Mr. J. H. LEWIS, in introducing the deputation, said they had no desire to make a demonstration, but merely to lay before his lordship their objections to the ride. They had hoped that after the expression of public opinion last year the ride would be aban doned. It was, however, again opened, and was considered highly objectionable on principle, for the inhabitants of the vicinity and the metropolis generally could not have the ease and tranquillity or enjoy the shade and quiet of the gardens as for merly. They came to his lordship because he had always identified himself with popular measures; and they earnestly prayed that his lordship would. take some means to restore the gardens to their for mer condition. . . . . Mr. HORSLEY, A.R.A., read a memorial to his lordship, signed exclusively by 50 artists, 30 of them being members of the Royal Academy, expressing their regret at the introduction of the ride. Several other members of the deputation having addressed his lordship, Lord PALMERSTON said he did not think the grounds of their case bore out their conclusions. The deputation assumed that the gardens were to be shut up; now the enjoyment of those who frequented them had been increased of late by a wall being taken down. The principle the deputation and its supporters adopted seemed to him to be a monopoly. As for the argument of solitude, it was a solecism ; they could not have solitude in seclu sion, it was not to be had in such a spot. With regard to the number of signatures in the memo rials, of course the people on foot were more numerous than equestrians ; it was, therefore, easier to obtain more signatures, but equestrians were entitled to be considered. There were plenty of parks and places for the people to walk in ; the range for them in this metropolis was very great. If the ride cut across paths, something mi g ht be said. In St. James's - park a bridge was proposed to be erected across the Mall, which he o o f p . p t o h s e e d , p a e o s p e t would The in ri t d e e rf i e n re K w e i n t s h mto t g herecreation s last year was said to be dangerous—this year the objection raised was that the rural scenery s h ou ld no t be spoiled. His lordship was much sur p r i se d that artists should object to the introduction of horses into the scene—the great mas t ers o f land scape painting liked figures and horses to enliven the asma aai small s e ; t e h n t e eh r y es h. ride,o u I l f d h l ii e kt ehwaiatds alltahn a y it. f ui a nt u a l tw theat o s gr fi ae n rad d l leyants too After some further discussion, in the course of which a suggestion was made that the piece of ground, north of Rotten-row and south of the Ser pentine, should be given up to the riders, the depu tation thanked his lordship for his courteous recep tion, and withdrew. TEE BUILDERS' STRIKE. The Association of Master Builders not having sent any definite reply to the offer of arbitration made to them by the Institute of British Architects, the masons' society last week instructed their com mittee to write direct to the association, offering= the part of the society to submit the whole subject in dispute to the Council of that Institution for arbi tration, and to be bound by their decision,. and requesting a positive reply from the association whether they will adopt the same course and thus close the dispute. Yesterday a reply was received from Mr. Wales, the secretary of the associated masters, acknowledging th e communication from the masons, and promi sin g to lay the subject before the association at its next meeting. The men have been more favo urabl y placed this week in point of funds than th e y had previouslybeen, as it adbdsictiroipnttioontsh, teh d ey i v i n d o e w nd r s e r c e e s iv u e lti t n ht g ee f s r t o ßr m ikore the ou trades' su Pay from th e general body, w hich will bring th em i il about h £1 per week each. Y Mares esterday, Messrs. of Hac k ne y; Bird and Bevors , of hd e mploying abo ut 50 mason s , accepted the g-roa , terms of the compromise, and the men have resumed work. Several more of the men left London yesterday. The bricklayers on Tuesday and yesterday, withdrew every man from the works of Messrs. Brass and Wilson, whose firms i n t ro d uced the hour s y s t e m on Monday. Some large jobs, including the Jews' Hospital at Norwood, the new schools in Abbey street, and work s at the Tower, are thus brought to a total standstill, either wholly or partially su spended. The various trade societies in the metropolis are bet , ' • b inning to take the question up, and if the dis pute is not closed by the end of the present week, several large sums of money will be voted to the builders on strike. Several of the masons brought from Scotland last week by the agent of the associated masters went backyesterday morning, their expenses having been defrayed by the society. INSPECTORS OF ScnooLs.—A return respecting inspectors of schools has been prepared, entered by the House of Commons on the motion of Mr. "T. Duncombe. There are now 36 inspectors and 24 assistant-inspectors, 60 in all, and last year there was an additional assistant-in spector; the total payments made to them in that year amounted to £43,565. In 1840 there were three, and the charge was £1,234 ; in 1845 there wi ire eight, and the charge £5,979 ;in 1850 23, and the char/ £18,678 ;in 1855 42, and the charge £30,526. Mr. Dune ombe's motion re quired also a list of those who are, clergymen ; that list comprises 17 of the inspectors and, 19 of the asAistant-In• OpeCtOrs. ~. - radian ork to ming 26th, r Sil of a rhich ;ergo and essel (ark, [ong• froill egro eave rded had eisb.
