THIS DAY. A very full meeting of Middlesex magistrates was held today at the sessions House, Clerkenwell green. ADMISSION OF CATHOLIC MINISTERS TO PRISONS. Mr. P. N. LAURIE moved the fallowing resolu tion : " That it appearing from the' returns presented by the Visiting Justices of the three county prisons to the court, on the 18th February, 1864, that, at the data of such re turns, the number of Roman Catholic prisoners in the House of Correction was 391, in the Westminster Bridewell 223, and in the House of Detention 35, making an aggregate number of 639, this court is of opinion that it is expedient to provide for the regular ministration of a minister or ministers of the Roman Catholic Church, or persuasion, for the prisoners of that Church, or persuasion, who shall receive a reasonable sum as recompence for his, or their services, under the provioions of the ' Prison Ministers' Act, 1863.' " He thought it was the moral duty of the magis tr.tna to tin that far tho Cattioliea what the laW compelled them to do for the Protestants, and that it was unjust to deprive a prisoner of that consola tion of which he stood so much in need. The magistrates would do well to imitate the example set mankind by the apostle Paul, and give to every one that which is right and proper. Viscount ENFIELD seconded the motion. Mr. E. W. Cox moved, as an amendment, the following : "That the Visiting Justices of the Houses of Correction at Coldbath-fields and Westminster be requested to carry into t ffect so much of the 2d section of the 26 and 27 Vie., cap. 79, as relates to permitting a minister of the Church or persuasion to which prisoners belong, to visit such prisoners at proper and reasonable times, under such regulations as they deem to be necessary to the preservation of the discip line of the respective prisoners. That the salary of the minister for Coldbath-fields Prison be £l5O per annum, and the House of Correction £lOO per annum." After some discussion, Mr. Sergeant PAYNE moved a negative, both to the motion and amendment, to the effect that, "To allow Roman Catholic priests to attend at the prisons on ail occasions, whether their ministrations are required cr not, would be unnecessary and im proper."

The result being that the motion of Mr. Laurie was lost by a majority of 46. CRIMINAL COURT.—(This Day.) OLD COURT. Sarah Robinson, 24, was indicted with feloniously cut ting and wounding Mary Ann Hardcastle, with intent to do her grievous bodily harm. It appeared there was a feeling of jealousy between the prosecutrix and prisoner, which led to a quarrel that arose between them. The prisoner, on being called on for her defende, said she threw herself upon the mercy of the Court. The jury acquitted the prisoner of the charge of felony, but found her guilty of unlawfully wounding. The learned Judge, in passing sentence, said there was no doubt the prisoner had received great provocation, and sentenced her to be imprisoned with hard labour for six months. THIRD COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) BURGLARY. John blanghem and Alexander Smith were indicted for a burglary in the d welling-house of Joseph Wells, and stealing therefrom a brace of pistols, a quantity of other articles, with about £l9 in money, The jury found both prisoners guilty. The learned Judge sentenced each of them to four years' penal servitude. MARKETS---This Day. MARK-LANE.

(From the lines' Second Edition.) ULKEBOL, April 9. The siege of Dybbol has become a very earnest game, and ought to be drawing to an end, whatever the issue may be. The cannonade for nearly the whole of yesterday and part of this morning can only be described by one word—it was " terrific." The shots and shells thrown by the Prussians ave raged 10 in the minute, and of these no less than 1,500 were aimed at 13astion No. 4. For their own part the Danes were by no means idle, and towards evening they had well nigh exhausted their stores of ammunitier. The Dybbol bastions are encompassed all round by a fiery line of no less than 14 German batteries, and all of these were plied yesterday with untiring activity. The night passed off quietly nevertheless; and this morning, after 10 or 11, the cannonade began to abate, and we have now perfect silence, a fact for which the darkness of the day may account; possibly, also, the lack of powder and shell in the Prussian camp. It must never be for gotten that the Danish position is close and com pact ; fresh supplies are always at hand to replenish the empty magazines, and the open communication by sea secures both Alsen and Dybbol egainst any Rant. It may be that even the rail way from Ham burg to Flensburg, and the road from the latter place to Nybol Broager cannot display the same activity in behalf of the Germans. Possibly, also, the too frequent and rapid discharge of breach loading cannon has a tendency to render the German artillerymen less chary of their ammuni tion ; so that if their fire is lively, it is at the some time comparatively inefficient. This is the case also with their infantry, who it is notorious are not so particular in their aim as they would be were they armed with less handy and convenient weapons than their touch-and-go aundriculelgeweltr. E7pprience would .:rxix to establish that the sol dier is apt to be too lavish of a shot taut ea..ta hi m too little trouble. The Tyrolese sharp-shooter, in the late Italian wars, who had to toil for minutes with mallet and ramrod to load his piece, w as aware that he had an enemy's life at the bottom of his barrel, and never gave fire tilt he felt sure that his game was as good as bagged. Notwithstanding this kind of nervous and spas modic fidgettinees of the Prussian fire, it would be idle to assert that all this vast amount of gunpowder is burnt in vain, or that the mere noise has not a stunning and bewildering effect. Artillery officers who have been for the whole of one day and night in the Danish trenches come back to us in the morning black, as well as pale, in the faces, jaded, done up. Their own strength, and that of their men, is tasked to the utmost, and the Danish army begins to suffer from over exhaustion nearly as much as it did when it was deemed expedient to remove it from the Danne work. The weather, though milder, is hardly more favourable to their health, and since the bombardment of Sonderborg, the exposure of some of their detachments to the inclernencies of the weather at night is attended with no cheering results: Fever has broken out with some virulence in the Augustenburg hospitals, and men are often sent there labouring under no other ailment than excessive fatigue. On the other hand, the losses of the Danes from the mere casualties of battle are by no means considerable. The Prussian shell is anything but murderous, and seems to spend is fury against mere trenches and breastworks. No less than four cannon were dismounted in on 3 of them yesterday, between sunrise and sunset, and the whole battery, breastwork, traverse, blockhouse, &c., presented a rather jammed and mashed appear ance. The mischief is no sooner done than it is repaired truly, but the energies of the men inces santly busy at that kind of Sisyphmen work must be strained almost beyond endurance. No man in the Danish camp can be induced to despond for all that. The dismantling of a part of a bastion does not, in their opinion, interfere with the free working of the other part; nor, were even a whole fort to be altogether blotted out of the row of 10, would the fire frcm the remaining nine be insufficient for the defence of the whole position ; nay, were even three or four, or all and each of the batteries to be silent, the natural ad vantages of the lino would still offer a very strenuous resistance to the onset of the foe. Behind the heavy batteries of the bastions the Dines have numerous field-pieces, and, besides these they have a goodly lot of those espingardes, which did such excellent work both here and at Fredericia in 1849. So long as the war resolves itself into a mere play at cannon-balls, no doubt the Prussians have it all their own way, because they have a more numeroes and more powerful artillery, and almost any amount of men to handle it. But when the cannon has done its utmost, when the signal is given for an assault, the besiegers must come face to face with their foe, and then it must indeed go bard with the Danes if the smaller artillery of their second line is not more than a match for mere masses of unprotected infantry. There is an evil quarter of an hour for storming columns in which hundreds of eannons in their rear can afford no support—in which the whole fire of the beeieged is to be en dured without the chance of returning a single shot. Desperate resolution, great rapidity of motion, and over whelming numbers may overcome this and other obstacles, when that meeting of Danes with Prussians takes place which is to be the real tug of war. In a close engagement with small arms and the bayonet the Prussians have the benefit of the bigger battalions ; but the Danish line is but one mile and a quarter lon g . T he D anes are o n their own ground, and they have bulk and weight, and the instinct to mass together, on their side. What the end of it all is to be, if wa r i s su ff ere d t o proceed to the last extremities, time will s h ow. Th e on ly thing that is quite sure is that the storming of Dybbol must needs cost a sea of blood, and that even the fall of Dybbol would not decide the fate of Atsen or bring about the close of the war. All th . .s, however, sup poses on the part of the Danes a power of endur ance hardly to be expect e d o f mere men . I mix with the soldiers at every hour of the day and night, and can bear witness to their firm and patient bearing. I see no sign of discontent or discout age ment. Out they march to outposts in the morning, quarters in the evening; they toil in the trenches, ham mer a t their barracks, shirk no duty, shrink from back they come to night no danger. The mere march through ruined Sonderborg, the crossing of the bridges, the ascent to Dybbol hill , the muster at the barracks, all they have to do, must be done under the shower of the enemy's shell. The cross fire from the 14 batteries from Broagerland to Rage bol is so harassing, that staff officers and orderlies alight from their horses and walk to avoid unneces• nary exposure. Diogenes placed himself right before the target at which a clumsy archer aim e d his ar rows,only spot wh ere h e ran no chance of f beingb e being ghit he. In the sam e manner the Danish soldier is hardly anywhere so safe as within th e ver y forts at which the Prussians are so furiously bl az i n g away all day long; not eo much becaus e th e Prus sian practice is bad as because everythi ng i n th e t fort is calculated to afford shelter to its defenders, while outside there is the danger of a projectile straying ever so little from its aim, or even of the fragments of one bursting ever so near its aim, and of the earth and stones and splinters flying about in the air, whether the shot is a hit or a miss. That the Danes have borne and will bear a great deal those who have read my foregoing corres pondence will readily believe. Yet it is too often a mere featherweight that breaks the camel's back, and the courage that cannot be daunted may in the long run bo worn oat. I see no symptoms of drooping spirits among the men, as I said, but some of the wisest as well es bravest officers look grave, and evince some degree of uneasiness. As I know them to be the very raen who wilt do their duty to the last, I have no hesitation in making myself the interpreter of their apprehensions, because I believe them to be grounded on a correct knowledge of the situation. The position of Dybbol, they always said, is strong, but by no means impregnable, and a fortress the garrison of which has ceased to ven ture on a sortie can, indeed, ward off for a long time, but hardly avert, its fate. I do not believe that by a candid statement of the difficulties with which the Danish army ha 3 to contend I make my self guilty of indiecretion, or compromise the safety of my Danish friends. Were the worst to come to the worst it will be well for the Danes that no false expectations should have been raised in Europe as to their absolute invincibility. Indeed, it may be jast as well if public opinion is prepared for all contingencies. Whatever may happen the Danes will be found to have done all that duty re quired of them. No stroke of adversity can deprive them of the glory of a long and heroic defence. Whatever may be the result of the unequal struggle, the world will take the odds into account, and pay them a tribute of admiration merely for engaging in it; as it will always turn the very success of their enemies to gall and wormwood by merely throwing the taunt of "four to one" into their teeth. U,on that understanding, that the Danes Are but men, and can only achieve what lies within the limits of human power, let us wait and see what a very few weeks—perhaps only a few days —may bring. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH .STRE ET. ROBBERY AT A MUSIC PUBLISHER'S.—CharIes Clarke, a porter in the employ of Messrs. Cocks, music publishers, 6, New Burlington-street, was charged with stealing 13 pieces of music, the property of his employers, and Wm. Phillips, 11, Carnaby-street, was charged with receiving the same with a guilty knowledge. Mr. Stroud L. Cocks said from information he received from one of their assistants he had reason to suspect a boy in their employ of hiding music for the purpose of carrying it away. The boy on being. taxed admitted that he had, and had taken it to the prisoner Phillips on several occa sions by direction of Clarke. He then called Clarke int , the counting-house, and told him that he suspected him of taking music oft the premises and disposing of it to some person. Clarke at first denied it, but afterwards admitted he had done so. He (Mr. Cocks) subsequently gave both prisoners into custody. Charles Conway, errand boy to Messrs. Cocks, said he took a parcel containing pieces of music to Phillips's house by direction of Clarke. He would have informed his em ployers, but thought it was all right. _ Mc. Y ucoi, Nr,rAlnust,a,,n. to Riess's. Cocks, said that I acting a parcel is a part of the establishment where it should not have been, he opened it and found it to contain some pieces of music. He left it in the same place, telling some of his fellow-assistants to keep their eyes on it, but it was subsequently taken away. Ho then informed Mr. Cocks of what he had seen. Thomas Weale, 204 C, proved taking Clarke into cus tody. He did not deny the charge, but said he was sorry. Brinstead Webb, a detective of the C division, said that en telling Phillips the charge, he at first denied receiving any music, but afterwards said he had, and that he had givat it to the steward of a ship who had sailed the same day. Clarke made no defence, but Phillips said the music was given to him by Clarke. The prisoners were committed for trial, but bail was offered to be taken for Phillips. ROBBING AN EMPLOYER,—Robert Phillips, a young man in the employ of Mr John Comley Tubbs, brush manufacturer, of 14 and 92, Berwick-street, Soho, was charged before Mr Knox with stealing some chamois leathers, the prop2rty of Mr Tubbs. Mr Tubbs deposed that, having missed a number of chamois leathers, and suspecting the prisoner, he called him to him yesterday evening, as if to send him out, and then told him to take off his coat and waistcoat. The prisoner did so, and two chamois leathers were found secreted upon him. In answer to Mr Knox, The prosecutor said he had been missing property for somo time, and suspected the prisoner, as he often got drunk. William Loosley, 46 C, said the prisoner admitted taking :he leathers. Mr Knox said there was no doubt the prisoner stole the leathers, an 4 he had no doubt he had been stealing things for some time past. Committed for three months with hard labour. John Andrews Pellew, gentleman, of LlandilisVicarage, Wales, was fined ss. fer being drunk and disorderly in the Haymarket the previous night, the charge being proved by Sergeant Brown, 5 C. WESTMINSTER. FORTUNATE APPREHENSION OF A NOTORIOUS THIEF. —Thomas Gilling was placed at the bar charged with being found in a gentleman's house for the purpose of committing felony, and with having removed a quantity of silver plate to carry it away. James Phillips, the butler to Mr. Hubbard, of 24, Prince's-gate, said " I caught this man in our pantry yes terday aftern on. At about throo o'clock as I was passing through the passage on the basement story, I met the pri mer coming out of the pantry-door. He said to me I have come to see whether you have any glass that is broken and wants mending.' At that moment I saw one of the drawers, in which plate was kept, open in the pantry, and I asked prisoner to stop, but he immediately ran off. I pursued and brought him back, and then I found that a robbery had been attempted." Mr. Selfe—What had been done ? Witness—A quantity of plate had been taken out of one of the drawers, and wrapped up in a cloth, which was placed on a table near the pantry-door, Mr Solfe—When had you last seen the plate safe in the drawer ? Witness—Only a short time before the drawer was safe, and shut. Mr Selfe—How do you suppose the prisoner got in ? Witness—By the area gate, Mr Selfe—*hat is known of the prisoner ? Dennis (the gaoler)—He has been here for all manner of things, for picking pockets, for assaulting the police, and with being an area sneak, for which he was committed. Mr Selfe— I remember—he was found afterwards con cealed in a dung heap. Is there any previous convictions against trim for felony ? Dennis—As a juvenile offender, and as a rogue and vaga bond I am certain there is, and I believe there is a ()envie • tion for felony. Prisoner was remanded. THAMES. A MOST COWARDLY Acr.— George Grant, a seaman, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with assaulting John Murray, a boiler maker, whose nose was strapped up with surgical plaisters, and who was in a weakly condition from loss of blood. A medical certificate was put,in stating that Murray had been wounded, and the nasal artery divided. The complainant stated that he mat the prisoner, who was an old acquaintance, yesterday afternoon, at the Market House public-house, in Poplar. They were drink ing together, and the prisoner paid him a debt of 25., and then began larking with him, and said, " I'll pay you again," and struck him. He returned the blow and went into the parlour, and was followed by the prisoner. They became good friends again, and shook hands, About four or five hours afterwards they met again in front of the bar of the same public-house, and were drinking stout. The prisoner began larking again, and took a large glass tumbler off the counter and threw it at his head. He fell insensible and bled a good deal, The glass struck him on the middle of the nose, and broke it. The prisoner said, he and his friend were hitting each other. At last Murray commenced abusing him, and ho threw a glass at him. Mr. Partridge—lt was a cowardly act, indeed. You threw the glass with considerable violence, and have wounded your friend. You were bath intoxicated. I fine you 20s. The money was paid. THE ACCIDENT AT CAMBERWELL STATION.—Yes- I , terdsy Mr. Carter, the coroner for Surrey, held an inquest at the Prince of Wales Tavern, Brunswick-road, Camberwell, on the body of Mr. George Christopher Stewart, aged 20, acting stationmaster in the Camberwell New-road Railway station, who was killed on Saturday last, as re ported in The Sun of the 11th inst. A lad named Walter Noals said that on Saturday, about 12 o'clock, he was on the staircase of the Camberwell station tc see the trains come in, when he noticed the deceased on the platform going to meet a train coming from the Victoria station. While the train was com ing along swiftly the deceased ran to it, caught hold of the handle of a carriage, and tried to get on the step. He missed his footing, and ran rapidly for an instant by the side of the carriage, when he fell down. His leg was caught by the train, and he was dragged in under the carriages. The train went past him, and loft him on the gravel quite dead. Joseph Mortlock, guard of the train in question, said the train had left the Victoria station at 11 20, and arrived at the Camberwell station at 11 56, its proper time. The deceased was standing near the end of the platform, and consequently at some distance from the place where the train would stop, and no doubt to get carried, instead of having . to walk to the place of stopping, ho tried to get on the step of the carriage in which the witness was. He did not attempt to hand anything to the witness. Ile suddenly swung round as if from a sudden lurch of the train, and fell between the two carriages. When the train stopped the witness ran back, and found that two wheels had passed over deceased's back and arms. lie was much mutilated, and was perfectly dead. The carriage went oft the metals. Mr, Saundero, superinten dent of the railway, said the deceased was six months in the employ of the company. It was against the rules for auy one in the employ of the company to get on the trains while in motion. The witness would have fined any one so offending. Only a fortnight ago the wit ness had spoken to the deceased about getting on to the moving carr i age s, and pointed out th e d anger of such an act. rhe coroner said that for its own protection from blame as well from regard to its servants, the company ought even to dismiss any one guilty of such a reckless act. Mr. Saunders said that for a second offence he should deem it his duty to dismiss the offender. The managers of the company deeply regretted this occurrence, Mr. W. Stewart, Qaartermastet of the 6th brigade Royal Artillery, identified the deceased as his son. It appeared that the deceased had frequently ridden on the steps of trains leaving the platform while taking to some one, but that he had never before .attempted to get upon a train in motion coming up to the platform. The coroner having summed up, the jury re turned a verdict of accidental death. SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, HALF -PAST 4 O'CLOCK. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE —This Day. NEWMARKET RACES.-TUTS DAY.

On clause 1, Lord WENSLEYDALE moved that instead of the word " may," the word " shall" be inserted, in order to make the punishment of whipping compulsory, instead of optional. Lord RAVENSWORTH did not object to the punish • ment of whipping in reference to other crimes, but as the crime of rape was seldom or ever committed with premedi tation, he did not think it would be advisable to resort to whipping as a part of the punishment (LEFT SITTING.)

Mr. BAZLEY asked the secretary for India, how many candidates fur employment in the medical depart ment for India were presented, and how many were the vacancies at the time of the competitive examination in January last, and again how many at the receo examina tion ? _ Sir CHAS. WOOD said there has been no competitive examination for the department in question for the hot three or four years. STREET DEALERS IN THE CITY OF LONDON. Mr. Alderman SALO MONS asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he had yet approved the pro posed bye-laws for the City of London, and especially if he intended to sanction bye-law No. 12, which virtually pro • posed to withhold the common law right of way through the principal streets of the City from dealers in fruit, fish, and vegetables, Sir G. GREY said that these bye-laws had not yet been sanctioned, and he considered the question of such import ance that ho had referred it to the law officers of the Crown. MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL HIGHWAY BOARD. _ _ Mr. R. LONG asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether Magistrates, resident in places which are exempted from the operation of the Highway Act, are or are not ex-officio members of the General Highway Board of the district in which they reside.

Mr. M. GIBSON said that, by the Merchant Seamen's Act, any infringement of the regulations relating to the placing of these lights in vessels subjected parties so offend ing to indictment. HARBOUR OF HOLYHEAD. Mr. STANLEY asked the President of the Board of Trade what steps were beine , taken to mark more distinctly the Platter Rocks in the Refuge Harbour of Holyhead?

LANCASTER. The election of a member for this borough in place of Mr. W. J. Garnett, who has resigned, took place yesterday. There were two candidates for the vacancy, Mr. Fenwick, Liberal, and Mr. Saunders, Conservative. Mr. Somerville Head, of London, was nominated on the previous day, but it was an nounced that this was only formal, and that he did not intend to come forward till the general dissolu tion. The polling commenced yesterday morning at eight o'clock. Great excitement prevailed in the town, and all the principal streets were thronged from morning till late at night, It is said that each party bribed pretty extensively, and the prices ranged from £5 to £lO and £l5 per vote. The Conservatives were out-generalled by the Liberals. It is remarkable that nearly all the Roman Catho lics of the town voted for the Liberal candidate.

The result of the voting at the close of the poll was thus announced by the Mayor : For Mr. Fen wick For Mr. Saunders The MAYOR declared that Mr. Fenwick had been. duly elected. Mr. FENWICK then returned thanks, and said he should ever support the great principles of Mr. SAUNDERS also returned thanks. For about ten minutes he could not be heard, the uproar being perfectly terrific. Eventually he returned thanks to his supporters, and said it was probable before long that he and Mr. Fenwiek would be before them again. Mr. Saunders then insinuated that the in ftuence and friends of Mr. Gregson, the sitting member, had been brought to bear against him. (A tremendous row here ensued ; the screams, shouts, and uproar were deafening.) Mr. Saunders, amid all this uproar, said, Gentlemen, why the devil do you interrupt me? It is not decent, it's disgrace ful. You, the Liberal gentlemen, ought to be ashamed of yourselves; it is devilish unhandsome. You have made the mob twice as bad as it would have otherwise been." Mr. Saunders then proposed a vote of thanks to the Mayor; after which he and the Conservative party left the hustings amid hisses. Mr. FENNVICK seconded the motion, and it was carried unanimously. The proceedings ended amid uproar. course which was approved by another magistrate in the neighbourhood. THE INCOME-TAX.

Mr. COB BE rr seconded the motion, and argued that the duty on malt operated most injuriously- on the agricul tural class, and in many cases led them into the consump tion of ardent spirits from being unable to obtain in many rural districts good beur. Mr. SURTEES also supported the motion, and as the representative of an agricultural district said that he had hoped the Chancellor of the Exchequer would have an nounced, in conformity with the wishes of the house. that he intended, at all events •to make soma reduction in the malt duty, and that any future surplus of the revenue should be applied to its total abolition.
