T he biddings for 60.00.000 rupees (I 600,000) In bills on India took place yesterday at ti.e aink °I England. The proportions ailoted were to Cal cutta 34.65,000 rs., to Bombay 24 . 00 . 000 rs., and to Madras 1.40.000 rs. Tie declared minimum prise was, as before, ls. lltd. per rupee on Cil cutta d 2s. on B o mbay and Madras. The ap plicationswithin the limits were for a bout 140 lace. T e n ders on Calcutta at ls. 111 d. will receive about 63 Per cent., on Bombay at 2s. about 20 per cent., and all above these prices in full; on Madras at 23. vrill receive in full. The Etna, from New York, has brought £18,500 in specie. The Committee of the Stock Exchange has ap pointer Monday, 9th March, a special settling day In the shares of the Continental Bank Corporation, cnd dealings ar e t o be masked, the directors havin g withdrawn the objectionable clause in the articles of association. The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round figures as under : 1863. 186 2 .

The directors of the Port Phillip and Colonial Gold Mining Company have received by telegram from Suez the following advices, in anticipation of the Australian mail, from their resident director, Mt. Bland, at Melbourne, giving the result of the month of D-camber last :—Quantity of quartz crashed, 2,780 tone; yield per ton (gold), 11 dwts. 15 grs. ; receipts, £2,718 ; expenditure, £1,880; to Profit, £838; remittance, 1500. Two o'CLocx. At Paris this morning, according to Reuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were 70c. 20f. " - firm. ' _ Th e half yearly meeting of the proprietors of the Ottoman Bank was held to-day. The directors recommended that £lO,OOO be added to the reserve St fund, and a dividend of 10 per cent. (free of income tax), and a bonus (also free of income tax) of £1 si per old share, and 2s. per new share be declared, Which was ultimately adopted. 1 The official returns relating to trade and naviga tion for the month of Sdnuary have just been pub- t fished. From these it appears that the total st declared value of the expos is from tha United kingdom for the month was £8,C45,155 against at i g,439,055 on the like period of 1862, showing a decrease of £393,900. The falling off is most per ceptible in cotton, yarn, cotton manufactures, and cheeps' and lambs' wool. st The importations of the principal articles have ', 3 1 Deen larger as regards raw cotton, flax, sheep and Aambs' wool, coffee, sugar, tobacco, and wine; but 4t there was a falling off in hemp, tallow, cocoa, 1 Wheat, flour, rum, and tea. The shipping accounts exhibit a decrease in the 6 amount of tonnage employed in the foreign trade of the United Kingdom for both the entries inwards and the clearances outwards, while in the coasting trade there is little change of importance to notice. The Funds are a little flatter, and the transactions have been very eircumscribed. Consols are 917, for money, and 911 for April. The monthly set tlement has occupied almost the exclusive attention of the dealers, brokers, and others, although the account has been rather light. The New Threes, and- it...aucssa Annuitiaa_are a Little flatter. viz., at 91 i; India 5 per Cents. are 1081 ; and Exche quer Bills, 2s. dis. to ls. prem. Continued quietude has been perceptible in the Foreign market, and prices have remained tole rably steady. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1854, are firm at 009 ; ditto, 1858, 691 ; ditto, 1862, 69* 70, and the Consolides, 411 I.

The New Danish Loan is 111 prem. Business in the Railway Share Market continued Moderately active, and owing to the favourable character of the traffic returns, several of the prin cipal undertakings have slightly advanced. Bristol and Exeter have improved Ll, and Great Northern A Stock £l, Great Westerns 155., and Great Easterns ss. In the Foreign and Colonial Markets there has been little change of importance.

It is in that sense that I think NAVY ESTIMATES—OBSOLETE VESSELS OF the compact ought to be maintained, and I think also that WAR. the Chancellor of the Exchequer is the very last person who Mr. COBDEN then rose to call attention to the large ought to use the argument he did, for if e v er a com p act was number of oesolete vessels of war in the British Nav y ; and to offer some observations on the conduct of our naval ad- made by man it wasmade by my right hon. friend—l allude ministration, which had produced this state of things. to the repeal of the income-tax. (Cries of " Oh, oh," and (LEFT SPEAKING.) , "Hear, hear.") So much for the maintenance of compacts. Well, why wish the law to be maintained? My right, hon. friend said, and said truly, the Church of England is in some danger from internal dissensions, but in none from free discussion. But what is it that has provoked these dis cussions? Is it any attack on the past of the Church of England? Have not the members of that Church on every occasion manifested the utmost desire to give in the fullest, freest manner, all that my right hon. friend calls religious liberty ? (Hear, hear.) Well, then, what has provoked these discussions ? Unhappily, I think I may say they are owing to this—that the Dissenters in a series of measures advocated by some from good and conscientious motives, by others with the avowed object of attacking the Church, have brought forward bill after bill until they have raised a resistance which they will not easily quell. (Cheers) But my right hon. friend says that this declaration partakes of the nature of civil inequality. But was that the language used by Lord Russell in 1828 ? (Hear.) That noble lord said that the object of the declaration was simply this—that those who made it should not use the power which they cleaved from any corporate office to the preju dice of the Church of England. If there be any civil in equality in that then the argument of my right hon. friend comes to this—that the Dissenters ought to be freed, that they may be at liberty to act to the prejudice of the Church of England. (Hear. hear.) Sir, every argument that I have heard in support of the bill becomes of serious im port, because it shows, or tends to show, that there is something more in the background. (Hear, hear.) I will add only one word more. I was not in my place last evening, but I see that a certain measure was resisted then by so high an authority as the First Minister of the Crown upon the ground that it might lead to another measure which he always opposed. (Hear, hear.) If that be a legitimate ground of opposition, and if the argument of the noble lord which opened up the question of ulterior measures be good, can there be a stronger reason for treating this bill as some thing very serious, something more than appears upon the face of it? (Hear, hear.) I shall, therefore, c3rdially support my hon. friend in his motion for the rejection of this bill. (Cheers.) After a few words from Mr. FORSTER and Mr. NEwDE GATE in explanation, the house divided, when there ap peared— For the third reading 175 Against it 172 Majority —3 HOUSE OF COMMONS.--Yesterday. QUALIFICATION FOR OFFICES ABOLITION BILL. Mr. HADFIELD, in moving the third reading of this bill, alluded to the large attendance of members on so in convenient a day for an attendance as a Wednesday. No less than four times this bill bad been passed by the House of Commons, and no less than 72 peers--comprising names of the highest historical renown—had voted in its favour. None of the Ministers of the Crown, nor, indeed, any of the other officers of the State, from the highest to the lowest, bad, on taking office, signed the existing declaration for the last 30 years. He was therefore at a loss to understand why it should be retained in the ease of municipal authorities, to many of whom its application was exc , edingly oesive. He warned those who opposed the bill that, by rejec ff ti n ng it, it might stir up discord among, as now, au united people. The boon sought by the bill was but a small one to ask, and ought to be granted. Mr. BAINES seconded the motion. Mr. NE WDEGATE moved that the bill be read a third time that day six months. Each session the majorities against the bill had augmented, showing the feeling of the house on the matter. The real object of the measure was to enable members of corporations to use their cor porate power to attack and undermine the Church of Eng land. Mr. SELWYN seconded the motion. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—I am un willing to give to this measure only such support as is ac corded by a silent vote, because I confess I not only feel myself bound by former acts and present convictions to vote in its favour—(cheers) —but I cannot help expressing my very great regret at the error which I think the hon.gentle man opposite has comnitted in opposing the bill. (Hear, hear.) The hon. gentleman who has moved that the bill be read a third time this day six months' has founded his objection on this ground—that the present arrangement is of the nature of a compact. (Hear, hear.) 1 do not deny that there are certain Acts of Parliament which may more or less approximate to the character of a compact,hut that doctrine even in its application to particular cases ought to be treated with great jealonsy,bccause the effect of it would be to throw into abeyance the whole power and responsibility of the Le gislature for the time being.' (Hear, hear.) It isna very diffi cult and dangerous doctrine to hold that there may be ar rangements made by former Parliaments in matters of gene • ral legislation. I do not refer to acts which contain particular promises to particular persons for particular purposes, but it is exceedingly difficult to hold that it is competent for the Legislature at a given moment to tie up the hands of the Legislature of a subsequent period,which must always remain under the paramount obligation of determining what is for the interests of the country. I must say I have rarely known a case in which the argument of a compact has been more hardly dealt with than in the present instance, The hon. gentleman has quoted the words of Lord Russell to show that this is a matter of compact. I cannot admit that it was in the power of my noble friend (Lord Russell), even if he had the inclination, to give the character of a compact to such a declaration ; but there is not the slightest evidence that such was his intention. The words simply amount to this, that the arrangement then proposed was a fair arrange ment for the Parliament of the time to mike. (Hear, hear.) There is no evidence that he accepted it as a perpetual and unalterable settlement, in which light it is that the hon. gentleman now urges it as an objection to the bill. But if there bo nothing in the nature of the case that affixes to it the character of a compact—and I, for my part, would say that the nature of the case almost defies the idea of a com pact—l ask the house to consider the policy of the question. And here I place myself in the position of one wh,o in addi tion to his general duties of a Minister of the Crown and member of Parliament, has a special duty as the represen tative of a large portion of the clergy of the Church of Eng land, and I confidently say, holding the language I have held ever since I had the honour to represent them—now a period of 15 years—that there is no benefit to the Church of England front the maintenance of such a declaration. (Cheers.) For what does this declaration do ? Ido not deny that in 1828 it was wise of Lord Russell, or of those who supported him, to accept the declaration; but the cir cumstances of 1828 were different from those of 1863. (Hear, hear.) Look at the changes which have occurred in our legis lation—the admission of the Roman Catholics to Parliament, the admission of the Jews. (Hear, hear.) Look at the man ner in which, since 1828, the whole system of the adminis tration of the State has been altered—how it hasbeen founded upon the general recognition of the equal civil righ s of the members of all religions. (Hear.) I admit this declaration does contain in it more or lees of an acknowledgment of civil inequality. It does constitute a civil inequality when cer•• Min persons are singled out to make a declaration limiting, or tending to limit, the discharge of their obligations as members of Parliament, or as holders of any other office of trust. (Hear. hear.) But let me look at this declaration as a security. If it be a security it is one which each person may interpret for himself, and I must confess it appears to be such that, while it may possibly fetter the hands of a very scrupulous man, those persons who assume to them selves an ordinary freedom will find very little difficulty in exercising under the pressure of it nearly all the liberty which they would exercise even if there were no such re straint. Now, it is not good policy to depend upon decla rations the whole force of which depends upon private in terpretation. (Hear, hear.) But, Sir, Ido not admit that the Church of England has any occasion to take a security of this kind. (Hear, hear.) It is admitted that the pres sure of this declaration is intended to be upon Dissenters; but I do not see any danger to the Church of England aris ing from Dissenters to Roman Catholics. (Hear, hear.) If the Church of England has dangers—and I fear she has— they arise from internal dissensions. (Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") I most sincerely trust she may outlive and over come them—(hear, hear),—for, in my opinion, it would be a sad thing for the nation, and for all persons, Dissent ers included, if she' . ceased to exist, (Hear, hear.) But for the last thirty years I have not been able to trace any danger to the Church of England from the Dissenters. If Dissenters have shown on special occasions a particular desire to secure privileges for their own bodies, the effect of that is to create a reaction favourable to the Church on the part of the immense majority of the nation. (Hear, hear.) The great increase of the anxiety to defend the Church of England for several years past is due to the fact that some pressure has been attempted to be exercised on the Church by particular members of Dissenting bodies in measures which they have promoted or introduced. (Hear,.t hear.) But the But if that be so we have, I think, a Church of England in the zeal of ittshioswhnoumsesecemu:bleyrs, as and , proved proved dicated by what has taken p.lacefna thoroughly natural and by sure experience-4 security o wholesome c haracter becau se p roduced by the very action of freediscussion, because it implies no inequality, because it affures no brand, but is a constant part of our parliamentary sys tem by which the tendencies to excess, of which every party must be conscious, are checked and controlled by the reaction which they create. (Hear.) It is manifest that a strong feeling of zeal does not prevail among many mem bers of this house for treating any measures that may be introduced in a manner favourable to the Church; but I must say that a vigorous indication of that feeling would in the end prove unfavourable, unless it were mildly and tem- PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION.

Sequi, aged 32, a Chinese, and cook on board a Chinese merchant ship, was indicted for the wilful murder of one Aliqui, also a Chinese. Mr. Orridge prosecuted, and Mr. Langford efended the prisoner. It appeared that the pr ironer and the deceased were both Chinese seamen and about to proceed to Shanghai, but in different ships. They had been lodging in Lime hodse, but at different places, and had been together during the evening of the 12th of February, about half-past ten o'clock. A quarrel took place between them, the prisoner accusing the deceased of having stolen and pawned his coat, and some other trifling articles ; and so far as it could be ccllected during the quarrel, the pri soner, without any provocation, suddenly stabbed the de ceased in the abdomen, the bowls protruding. He was able to walk a few yards, but then sank down exhausted. He was shortly afterwards found by a police constable welter ing in his blood. He was then conveyed to the London Hospital, but after the lapse of thirteen days died from the effects of the wound. Mr. Langtord addressed the jury for the prisoner, and called several witness (Chinese) and others, wbo gave the prisoner a good character for a peaceable and quiet man. The learned Judge, in summing up, repeated that the case was in inevitable confusion, but if the jury believed the prisoner wilfully inflicted the wound which caused the deceased's death, they could find no other verdit than wil -1 ful murder. The jury, after a few minutes' consultation, returned a verdict of not guilty. The learned Judge said that he thought the fury had done quite right. Mr. Orridge said the prisoner had admitted he had stabbed the deceased, _ . The learned Judge said certainly the prisoner ought to be detained ; he ought to be tried upon his own confession, with corroborative evidence, of unlawfully wounding. The prisoner was ordered to be detained until next session for that purpose, the Judge remarking the prison was the best place for him. THE MANSLAUGHTER OF A WIFE IN LAMBETH. James Hagan, convicted yesterday of the manslaughter of his wife, was sentenced to six month imprisonment and hard labour. George Pitt surrendered to take his trial upon an indict. meat charging him with the manslaughter of Hugh Morris, The jury returned a verdict of not guilty, POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

ROME.. The Marquis of NOIDIAN.BY complained of an omis sion which had been made of a portion of a despatch he had written shortly after the breaking out of the insurrection in Rome in 1849, portions only of the document being pub lished two years afterwards. He was not to blame for bringing up the sul ject so frequently, as it had been intro duced by the noble earl's quoting the despatch which had not been produced. It was of the greatest importance that, when the descatches of an Ambassador to his Government were published, his meaning should be fully represented, and that the extracts should not be mutilated. Earl RUS,ELL supposed that the person who presented the despatch to Parliament omitted the words because he thought them unimportant, and it had been for years before Parliament, so that the mat ter was not of so much import ance. It appeared the words had been left out by the person leaving off at a comma instead of a full atop ; but it could not serve any purpose now to inquire into such a mitter, especially as it occurred so many years ago.

Mr. FERRAND gave notice that as soon as possible after Easter he should call the attention of the house to the condition of the cotton trade, with the view of inducing the house to consider whether measures could not be adopted to remove the unemployed operatives, who, for so long a pericd, had remained in unwilling idleness. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) NAVAL PRIZE MONEY. Sir J. HAY asked the Secretary to the Admiralty, in reference to a notice in the Gazette of Friday the 26th ult., suspending payment of certain naval prize money which had been due since 1857, and which had been recently ad vertised to be distributed, what was the cause of this fur ther delay, and whether it was not due to the want of pro per agents to take charge of the interest of the captors? Lord C. PAGET replied that no delay hal taken place on the part of the Admiralty in the distribution of the prise money in question. Ihe money was delivered to the Ad miralty for distribution on the 9th of December last. On the 19th of February last orders were gi ven by the Admi ralty for its distribution. Since that period some officers of tne ship Niger, not included in the list, had claimed a share of prize money. The distribution had, therefore, been delayed until these claims were investigated. The captors had agents both in this country and at the spot. ECCLESIASTIUAL COURTS. Mr. H.

SEYMOUR asked Mr. Solicitor• General, if the Church Building Acts bad been consolidated; and, if so, when her Majesty's Government would introduce a bill upon the subk.ci ? Mr. R. PALMER was understood to say that the acts referred to bad been consolidated, and that the measure would be ihtroduced before Easter. POLAND. Mr. HENNESSY (Lord Palmerston not yet being in his place) postponed asking an imp.rtant question of which he had given notice until to-morrow. rJOR LAWS. Mr. HIBBERT asked the President of the Pnor Law Board whether it, was his intention ,to move for the re-ap pointment of the select committee on the administration of the poor laws; and, if so, whether he would defer the in troduction of the bill to continue the poor law board until such committee should have reported to the house? Mr. VILLIERS ret.lied that it was his intention to move for the reappointment of the col:mitt e referred to. He should lay the report on the table of the house before he in troduced the bill to continue the Poor-law Board. NEW WESTMINSTETREET RIDGE—BRIDGE S. Sir J. SHELLEY asked the First Commissioner of Works, when the houses left standing on the south side of Bridge-s treet were to be entirely removed, and whether or not arrangements have been made with the tenants in possession for giving up their interests; if not, what was the course the Office of Works intended to pursue with regard to that portion of the property ? Mr. COWPER replied that several of the houses on the south of Bridge-street had been removed, and the whole of them would be taken down without any unreasonable delay. All the owners had been agreed with excepting Fen dell's Hotel, a place of much resort during the sitting of Parliament, would not be interfered with for a short while longer, so that the public purse Would not be unduly trenched upon at present for compensation. The Royal Marriage--The Procession and the Arrangements. Sir G. BOWYER asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, having regard to the desire of the citizens of London to show all possible respect to her Royal Highness the Princess of Denmark, and the wish of the public outside the City to see the full solemnity of the procession next Saturday, arrangements would be made for the Lord Mayor and the City procession to attend her Royal Highness as far as Paddington? (Hear hear.) It was, he believed, generally understood that the procession would proceed from Temple-bar to Paddington at a rapid I pace. Captain STACPOOLE inquired if any suitable !daces had been reserved for members of that house? Sir. G. GREY replied that this was the first time he had heard that the procession would proceed at a rapid pace from Temple-bar to Paddington. This would most certainly not be the case. (Hear.) He thought, however, tha t he explained the whole course of proceeding the other night. The city authorities would retire from the eortege a t Temple-bar, giving way then to the authorities of Westminster.

Sergeant Glass, 3 C, deposed to the sad state of the horses. Mr. Lewis, for the defendant, said it was not a case of bleeding wounds. Mr. Knox begged Mr. Lewis's pardon, and said it was— he saw some sores about one of the horses. 1051 I I 3 1 Mt 86} Mr. Lewis then addressed the magistrate at some length, and called Mr. Sciiitoe, who said he was not aware the horses had gone out on the day in question. Mr. Knox said he never saw two such horses in his life. Mr. Cherry said he had seen the horses to. day, and one of them could scarcely walk. They were certainly a little better for the r st they had had. Mr. Love deposed to certain admissions made by Mr. Scilitoe, as also did Rutherford, one of the society's officers. Mr. Lewis cros-examined Rutherford, but with no effect, and then addressed the magistrate on Mr. Scilitoe's behalf. Mr. Knox said anything more horrible than the sight of the horses could not be imagined—one of the poor animals being scarcely able to crawl. It was a piteous spectacle. Mr. Lewis having undertaken to have the horse imme diately slaughtered, Mr. Knox fined Mr. Scalitoe £5, and costs, or a month ; and 405., or 14 days. SUPPOSED FOUL PLAY TOWARDS A CAB PROPRIETOR —Two low-looking fellows named William Lake and William Donnelly, were charged before Mr. Knox with being in possession of a Hansom cab and horse, supposed ;0 be stolen. William Bickmore, a cab-driver, said that about half past three that morning, he saw the two prisoners and another man put a Hansom cab on the stand in Wood stock-street, the number of the cab being 2,585. One of the men, the one not in custody, put a nosebag on the horse, and they all went into a coffee-house. Seeing that some of the men were drivers he spoke to a constable, who took two of the men into custody. Widgeon, 159 C, said he was called by the witness, and on taking the prisoners into custody they said they had been driven to a coffeeshop by a man who then left them. The wife of the cab proprietor was present. Mrs. Jane Horrocks, 12, College-place, Chelsea, said the cab was the property of her husband. He took it out yes terday—having a good deal of money with him—but had not returned home, and she was afraid he had met with some foul play. One of the prisoners said he saw her husband at a pub lichouse near Covent-garden with two girls. Mrs. Horrocks said she did not believe it. The prisoners said they were asked by a man to have a drive, and they consented and were set down at the coffee shop, and the man then left them. The prisoners, who seemed very uneasy at their position, were remanded for a week, Mr Knox giving directions to the police to make strict inquiries into the case. A NICE CLERGYMAN.—Mr. Jchn Rowden, clergyman, of the Oratory, Brompton, was charged by Laskey, 101 C, with being drunk and inca?able in Piccadilly. Mr. Knox imposed the usual drunkard's fine-ss.

THE ACCD) es VS-CROSS, Yesterday afternoon Dr. Linkestcr, the coroner for the central division of Middlesex, resumed the inquiry at the Royal Free Hospital, Gray's-inn road, relative to the death of Richard Coven, aged 45, late in the employ of Messrs. Nicholson, die tillers, of St. John-street-road, who was killed on the 18th ult. at the goods station of the Midland Railway at Kieg's•cross. Mr. Reid, instructed by Mr. Layton, represented the firm of Messrs. Nichol son, and the widow and family of the deceased l Mr. Giffard, instructed by Mr. Jeffery, aaended for the Midland Railway Company ; and Mr. Wentnsr, solicitor, was present for the Greet Northern Com pany, on whose line the Midland hed running powers. It appeared that on the 18th ult. the deceased, who was a carman, went to the Midland goods station with a waggon and three horses to bring away some empty casks, and, having arrived at the dock, he hamped the leading horse, the two abreast, in consequence of the scarcity of room, standing partly across the rails. About two o'clock in the afternoon an arriving train was signalled, when the line was duly cleared, and in about 20 minutes after a second train, consisting of 33 trucks, principally laden with iron, and driven forward by two engines, dashed into the station at the rate of eight or ten miles an hour, without having received the necessary signals, whereby the unfortunate deceased, while endeavouring to save the horses in the almost momentary notice of danger, was struck down by the foremost truck, the wheels of which passed over his body, as also those of the second truck. On reversing the train, the wheels again passed over his body. When extricated he was taken to the Royal Free Hospital, where it was subse quently found that all his ribs, limbs, and collar bone were fractured, that he had sustained injuries to the head and congestion of the brain, and rupture of the liver. Mr. Beckett, the houstesurgeon, pro nounced death to have been caused by the shock to the system from the injuries. With reference to the accident, it was shown that the mode of sig nalling an approaching train was, first, by a shunter ringing a bell, on which a policeman on the Great Northern line put chains at the gates, and saw to the clearing of the line, which occupied from three to five minutes. He then gave the signal" All clear" to the shunter, who communi - ated to the shuntera on the train, which would be approaching at a slow pace round the sharp curve. A man named Davis had to ring the bell, which he did not do until the first truck was level with the bell. He then gave the &t e nger signal, but unfortunately too late. The three other shunters, Bosworth, Hans, and Speed, who accompanied the train, passed on the signals as received to the engine drivers. The train and all the servants belonged to the Midland Company. After hearing the evidence, and being locked up a considerable time, the jury returned a verdict to the effect that the death of Richard Coggan was caused by accidental circumstances. They appended to it the following expression of their feeling :—" 1_ The jury regard the conduct of Alfred Davis in neglect ing to give the proper signals as highly censurable, and approaching to criminality in the carelessness of his conduct. 2. They desire to pass their severest censure on the Midland Company for employing young and inexperienced men in the important duties of shunters and the general mismanagement of the truck department of the Great Northern ter minus. 3. They also would censure the Great Northern Company for the bad construction of their premises, and particularly the contiguity of the dock where the accident took place. 4. The jury would also censure both companies for not having a better system of direction in the traffic of their station." The proceedings then terminated. CRIME IN FRANCE. The Military Tribunal of Lyons last wtek tried four corporals, all belonging to the troops in the camp of Sathonay, and named Weber, Guitter, An duze, and Delon de Corbieres, charged with having, on 14th January last, caused the death of a char coal dealer named Potdevin, residing near the camp. From the evidence given it appeared that Weber. and Quitter, whose time of service was nearly ex pired, had passed the greater part of the afternoon and evening preceding the crime in drinking. About eleven o'clock, before retiring to their quar ters, they walked about in front of the camp, and there met the other two prisoners, who had also been drinking more than enough. After a short conversation the four agreed to have a parting glass, and as all the canteens in the camp are shut at ten precisely, they determined to look for a wine- shop outsi - 6. Seeing a light in a house at no great distance, they went to it, and all entered, and called for wine. The house, however, was not a wine-shop, but a private dwelling occupied by a charcoal dealer named Faure, his wife and. daughter, and the husband of the latter, named Pot devin, who were taking supper in company with some friends. In answer to the demand for wine, Potdevin's wife said they had none to sell, but offered them some water. This answer so incensed Guitter that he struck the woman in the face, knocked her down, and then all four rushed out of the house followed by Potdevin, who a moment after was heard to cry " Murder !" Faure and two of his neighbours hastnied to his assistance, and found him lying on the ground and Weber kicking him. They seized Weber and held him till the guard came. The other corporals had made their escape, after throwing several stones, one of which was lying close to Potdevin covered with blood, having apparently struck the unfortunate man on the forehead. A surgeon-major of the regiment was soon in attendance, but Potdevin died next day of cerebral confation. The other three cor porals were arrested next morning, and the woman Potdevin identified Guitter as the man who struck her. The evidence did not clearly establish which of the four inflicted the fatal blow, but the stone appeared to have been thrown by one of the three who ran away. After hearing a number of wit nesses and counsel for the prisoners, the Tribunal acquitted Anduse and Delon de Corbieres, but found Weber guilty of inflicting wounds which had caused death, and sentenced him to two years' imprison ment. An attempt at murder was made three days back on a Madame Morel, a dealer in hardware goods at Vimoutiers (Orne), by a man in her employment. The latter, while in a state of intoxication, fired a pistol at his mistress and then threw himself from a window into the street. The ball passed through the dress of the woman without hurting her, but the young man was seriously injured, and conveyed to the hospital. The Court of Assizes of the Seine was yesterday engaged in the trial of a liberated convict named Guillotte, a journeyman currier, on a charge of theft and forgery. It appeared from, the evidence that on the mot ning of the 7th June last the pri soner was in the neighbourhood of the Northern Railway station, when he was accosted by the pro secuter, named Vai'hint, who had come from Saint-Vast-les-Mello (Oise), who asked to be directed to the rue de la Michodiere. Guillotte offered his eerviccs to conduct him there, which were accepted, and on his way Valliant informed him that he was i going to the office of M. de Crepon, an agent-de change, in that street, to receive ten Eastern R al way bonds which had been purchased on his account by the broker. The bonds were duly handed over to the prosecutor, but having entrusted them for a i moment to the prisoner to roll up, the latter ma - I naged to abstract, three, and then took the earliest 1 opportunity to he off. Two of those bonds were afterwards sold by him to a money-changer, named Steffen, from whom he received 594 tr., and signed the sale note with the false name of Bourgeois. The third, according to the prisoner's accou nt, IT sold to an unknown indiv idual for 260 fr . The pri soner at first denied the facts imputed to him, but ' afterwards made a complete avowal. Guillotte has • before been condemned to five years' hard labour The jury having returned a verdict of for forgery. guilty, the prisoner was now condemned to 12 years of the same punishment. A ROMAN CATHOLICBISHOP ON CRINOLINE.-.--Dr. Cullen has issued a pastoral letter, in which, after a denunciation of model schools and the seductions of Pro testant orphanages, he descants as follows on crinoline : " There is another matter which deserves notice—l mean that excessive vanity which now prevails in female attire. Though the country is poor, and distress meets us on every side, yet the expenditure on dress has been daily increas ing, and it is now carried to unjustifiable excesses not only by the rich, but by many who are not affluent—by the families of tradesmen, and by servants, and by teachers in the national schools, who often give very bad examples to their pupils. Even children are now trained in a love fo r s vanity.
