POLICE IN7'ELLIGENC'E.-.-THIS DAY. MR. J. IS. MILL, M.P., ON LODGER LAW. A body of lodgers connected with the bt. Anne's Elec toral Association forwarded to the members for West minster the following resolution :—" We, lodgers in the parish of St. Anne's, Westminster, feel ourselves greatly aggrieved at the continued existence of a law by which, although we pay all claims of rent due to the person with whom we contract for our lodgings, we are still liable to have our household goods seized for any defalca tion on his part whereby his contract is not fulfilled. Feeling assured that you will not fail to see both the hard ship and positive injustice entailed by the existence of this law, we are desirous of obtaining your opinion regarding it modification or abolition." Mr. John Stuart Mill, writing from Avignon, says : " I beg to acknowledge the receipt of the resolution passed at a meeting of the St. Anne's Electoral Association on the 4th inst. I entirely agree with the association in their condemnation of the law by which the goods of a lodger who has paid his rent to his immediate landlord may be seized to meet the claims of the head landlord. It is discreditable to Par liament that this unjust state of the law should have continued so long, and I would advise that petitions for its repeal should be signed by the numerous class who are aggrieved by it, and presented to the new Parliament as soon as possible after it meets. The grievances which are most petitioned against are likely to be the soonest redressed." NATIONAL _ASSOCIATION FOR THE PRO- MOTION OF SOCIAL SCIENCE. The preliminary prospectus of the above association for this year has been issued. The twelfth annual meeting will be held at Birmingham from September 30 to October 7. The Earl of Carnarvon is the president. The vice presidents are the Right Hon. Earl Russell, K.G., the Right Hon. Earl of Shaftesbury, K.G., the Right Hon. Lord Dufferin and Clandeboye, K.C.8., and the vice presidents of the congress, the Lord-Lieutenant of Staf fordshire, the Earl of Dudley, the Right Rev, the Lord Bishop of Worcester, the Lord-Lieutenant of Worcester shire, the Right Hon. C. B. Adderley, M.P., the High Sheriff of 'Warwickshire, the High Sheriff of Staffordshire, the High Sheriff of Worcestershire, the Mayor of Bir mingham, John Bright, Esq., M.P., George Dixon, Esq., M.P. The topics for discussion come under the head of four departments," Jurisprudence and Amendment of the Law," " Education," " Health," Economy and Trade." Under the first heading will be discussed "International and Municipal Law, and the Repression of Crime." Mr. Vernon Harcourt will preside. Among other subjects in the different departments we notice, " Compulsory Education," " Instruction in Science and Art," and " Reform of the Universities," " International Coinage," " Arbitration between Employers and Em ployed," " Water Supply," " Hospitals," &c. THE IRISH CHURCH. -I, The annual report of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners for Ireland has been presented to Parliament. It states that the commissioners appropriated £51,923 to church works in the year, and applied the money in completing twenty-four churches undertaken in former years, in con tributions towards erecting eight new churches and re storing Kilkenny Cathedral, in contributions towards the enlargement of twenty-five churches, and in repairs of churches and fencing churchyards. The report has no date. It relates to the year ending August 1, 1867. The account appended to the report spews that, independently of receipts in respect of capital, the commissioner s received in the year, in respect of income, £118,786 from public sources, chiefly from see estates and suspended dignities and le nefic( s, and tax on dignities and benefices. They also received £16,279 from private subscriptions in aid of church buildings, probably subscriptions to meet grants. The disbursements include £50,833 applied in building, enlarging; and repairing churches ; £37,320 for clerks' and sextons' salaries, organists, fuel, and requisites for the celebration of Divine service ; £12,831 in aid of the incomes of clergymen and vicars choral; £12,757 for "ministers' money ;" £8,026 for salaries to commissioners and their establishments ; and various other payments bring the year's disbursements in respect of income to no less than £131,005. The commissioners state that the benefice of Eallymurren, Cashel, in which Divine service had not been celebrated within the three years next preceding the Ist of February, 1833, having become vacant, they have suspended the appointment of a clerk thereto, and granted a stipend of £5O for a curate to perform the duties of the parish. They give no information as to the number of souls fur whose cure they had to provide. MR. GLADSTONE'S ELECTION. 0 It is ono of the drawbacks of our parliamentary system, that the political chiefs, the men whose every word is weighted with the heaviest responsibility, and vibe can say nothing which is net innnediately invested in popular opinion both at home and tibro:al with a serious significance, have to descend into the electioneering arena like the cotn mer est of their followers, and aro there liable to be subjected to influences hardly compatible with the reticence and independence which on every ground should be the privilege of their peculiar position. Tho heated atmosphere and rude contro versy of a contested election, the importunities of the canvass and the excitement of the hustings, are obviously unfavourable to cool deliberation of judgment and cautious cxPrculion of opinion. To see a great Minister of State dictate the policy of an empire from the top of " the election beer• barrel" is enough to make us envy the French system of ex-officio seats. Hitherto, indeed, either by accident or arrangement, it has usually happened that the leading statesmen of the country have practically been relieved from the embarrassing ordeal, for they have either been members of the Upper House or have sat for quiet, contented constituencies in the Lower. Lord Russell at Stroud, and afterwards in the City of London, was able to say just as much or t s little as he pleased. Lord Palmerston's election for Tiverton used never to bo anything but a formality enlivened by a humorous altercation with an eccentric constituent which was looked forward to as one of the periodical amusements of the town. When Peel quitted Oxford he settled down at Tamworth for the rest of his life; and Mr. Disraeli, as WO all know, has never had any reason to bo disquieted in regard to the fidelity of Bucks. If Mr. Gladstone has not found an equally safe and com fortable retreat, it is clearly from choice and not necessity. There are a score of places any ono of which would be only too proud to return Mr. Gladstone if he merely held up his hand without troubling him to stir from Hawarden or Carlton-gardens. If nothing but a big constituency will content him, there is the City of London to be had for the asking. Baron Rothschild's only object in Parliament has been to represent a principle which is now fully established ; he has never taken any active part in public businers ; and it is quite under steed that his scat is at Mr. Gladstone's dis posal. In the City the Liberal leader would be relieved from the awkward exigencies of the canvass and the stump. Ono has only to think of the different keys into which Mr. Gladstone's themes will be transposed, and the remarkable variations which will be played on them by excited or fool ish friends and by wily foes, to see how important it is that ho should be enabled to hold himself as far aloof as possible from the gusty influences of a local contest.—Pall- Mull UNSEEMLY CONDUCT OF A CURATE AND SEXTON. A disgraceful scene has been witnessed in the burial ground of Caverswall, Staffordshire. In this village a board *as formed two or three years ago for the purpose of providing an additional burial-ground, the churchyard being filled. The sexton appointed by the board met with the approval of the vicar, the Rev. B. N. Arnold, but he has since quarrelled with the selection, and has chosen another sexton. Hence there have been two sextons for some time, each acting independently of and in opposition to the other. Two funerals—one that of an old woman, and the other of a young child—were fixed for last Saturday evening, and two pits or graves had been dug by the rival sextons. When the corpses arrived at the church the curate was awaiting them, and preceded them into the burial•grourd, where he made his way to the graves dug by the vicar's sexton. The friends of the child were not averse to interment there, but the friends of the old woman preferred the grave of the burial board sexton, and while the service was being read over the child they stood in the path dividing the rival graves. The curate, when he had finished the ser vice over the child, informed the friends of the old woman that the vicar had ordered bins not to read the service over any corpse interred in a grave dug by the burial board sexton. If e then walked away, leaving them and the coffin in the path. They next carried the body to the grave prepared for it by the sexton to the burial board, and having no ropes with whicli to lover it, they applied to the vicar's sexton for the use of his ropes. This was refused, and the other gravedigger ran into the village and borrowed ropes. The corpse was then lowered intc the grave without any service being read over it, the earth was filled in, and the funeral ceremony was over. As they were leaving the ground the vicar's sexton de manded from the friends of the deceased the burial fees, although they had paid the other sexton for the digging of the grave, and nothing had been done by either the vicar, his curate, or sexton. The utmost excitement pre Tailed in the village, and only the presence of a number of police appeared to prevent the indignant parishioners from a more than verbal expression of their feelings.

AN ERRAND Boy CutTIGED WITH STEALING £2O. —A boy named James Pratt, porter to Mr. Courtin, the well-known hairdresser, of the Strand, adjoin ing Temple-bar, was charged with robbing his em ployer. Mr. Courtin bad taken the prisoner into his employment about two months back, chiefly from motives of charity. Lately, however, he had lost money several times, and on Monday his purse,, con taining either £l9 103. or £2O, was taken from the mantelpiece in the back parlour. Yesterday (Tuesday) he left a marked half-crown in his bed room. In the course of the day it was removed and concealed under the bed, and in the evening it disappeared al'ogether. S,2egcant Kerley, of the F division, who bad been inst: uctcd in the case, followed the prisoner when he left work at night, brought him back to his master's shop, and found the marked half-crown upon him. Ile at first said he had found it on the staircase landing, but afterwards admitted that was untrue. He found it in the bedroom and concealed it under the bed, but in the evening, finding it was not asked after, he put it in his pocket. Mr. Flowers remanded the prisoner for a week, and expressed a hope that some information might be obtained as to the purse and £2O. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. UNLICENSED CAB -DRIVERS AND THE PUBLIC.— Henry Gilbert, horse-keeper, of Simmons-street, Chelsea, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being drunk and incapable of taking care of cab 3,721, and also with acting as a driver without a license. Police-constable George Littlefield, 165 F, said that while in Compton-street the previous night the prisoner, who was driving a cab, asked him the way to PLcenix-street. lle directed the prisoner, and noticing that he was drunk followel him to Phoenix-street, where the cab stopped and a lady and gentleman got out. then asked the prisond to get down, and he refused at first to do so, but sub sequently did ; and as he found the prisoner to be very drunk he took him to the station, where it was found that although he was wearing a badge strap he had no badge, and he admitted that he had not got a license. The prisoner said that he was a horse-keeper, and his master being unwell yesterday asked him to go out for a few hours with the cab and he did so. Mr. Tyrwhitt said it began to be quite time to put the law respecting the offence with which be was charged into force. Every other day a case came before him where a mail was driving a cab without a license, and not only that, but was drunk at the time. The fine for the offeneJ went up to £5, and for the protection of the public he would begin to enforoe the law, by fining the prisoner 403., or a month. WESTMINSTER. EXTRAORDINARY IlacTALay.—John Mark Ed wards, a man about 45 years of ago, was charged with extraordinary brutality to his wife, a respect able-looking woman, much his senior, of ino3t ema ciated frame, and apparently far advanced M coal gumption. Complainant said, that he had been slowly mur dering her by his ill-treatment for months. He was au idle person, whom she had supported by her in dustry fur years. Things went on while she could work and lend him money, but when she fell ill they changed. He pushed her about, made her leave her bed when she was apparently in a dying state, threatened, and abused her. He did so yesterday, and she got up and put her hand upon him to make him leave the place, when he struck her in the chest, and falling she cut the back of her head. Defendant said there was a conspiracy to ruin him. His wife took up pokers to him, and he ought really to have been the complainant. Witnesses proved that during the winter she gave him his breakfast in bed, and took him a newspaper t ) read while he ate it. _ _ Selfe—Yours is one of the cases which ex actly furnish an argument in favour of married women bkving control over theic own earnings as contemplated by the Legislature. I shall com mit you to hard labour for ono month for the assault, and require you to find bail for four months. YU AMES. ROBBERY IN TIIE DoCK.—John Arnold, a labourer, was brought before Mr Benson, charged with steal ing a tin of preserved provisions from the ship Canaan in the London Docks. On Monday afternoon, Robert M'Gowan, a con stable, stopped the prisoner as he was leaving the London Dock, and found upon him a tin of pre served provisions. The prisoner was asked for a written pass authorising him to bring the tin and its contents out of the dock. The pri soner said the ship-keeper of the Canaan gave him the tin, and that he would bring a pass in a few minutes. Ile was allowed to depart, and he returned shortly with a written pass framed in such an awkward manner that the constable knew at once it was a forgery. He took him into custody, and was conveying him towards the ship to make inquiries there, when the prisoner made his escape from the officer. He was re-captured this morning, and he now said that he had been at work on board the Canaan, and that while turning over the dunnage wood in the hold he found the tin of provisions. Mr. Benson—lf you had obtained the tin of provisions honestly you would,' not have run away. Mr. John Mansell, the chief officer of the Canaan, said the pass now produced, and which purported to be in his handwriting, was never signed by him. It was not likely that the tin of provisions would be among the dunnage wood in the hold. Mr. Benson had no doubt the tin of provisions had been stolen, and sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for two months. HORRIBLE ASSAULT ON BOARD SLllP.—Michael Anderson was brought before Mr. Benson charged with violently assaulting Benjamin Carroll. The complainant's eyes were very much in flamed, and he was in au ill state of health. Both men were seamen on board the barque Seven, which had made a voyage from Cardiff to the Mauritius and back. The prisoner was represented to be a great ruffian, and without any provocation had fastened quarrels on the complainant and assaulted him. On the 23d of May last the prisoner threw a pot of boiling hot coffee over him. "On seve ral occasions," said the complainant, " he tried to murder me." Oue day the complainant was sitting down on deck, having his breakfast, when the pri soner, who was alongside of him, called him bad names, struck him, and knocked him backward,, and then attempted to gouge his eyes out. Mr. Benson—How did he do that ? Complainant—He forced his fingers into each corner of my eyes. My agony was very great, and my eye-balls were sticking right out of my head. I called to a shipmate called Scotty, who pulled him off me. The prisoner hit me again and knocked me down. I was blind for five days and off duty. In answer to Mr. Benson, the witness said there were some words between him and the prisoner about Fenianism. Other seamen witnessed the assaults upon him. Mr. Benson—Where are they ? The complainant said the ship was paid off on Monday, and all the men had gone away or were distributed about the Sailors' Home or the loiging-houses. Subbings, an officer of the Court, said he had spoken to the captain of the Seven, who said he knew nothing of the row until after it was over, and all ha knew of the affair was that the com plainant had two black eyes, and was off duty. Mr. liaison said the man Carroll was very seriously hurt, and that he did not like to convict or send the defendant for trial on the complainant's Own unsupported testimony. The complainant could have summonses for witnesses. lie remanded the EXCLUSIVE, VERY IMPORTANT, RARE, AND VALUABLE aro the properties of Latuplough's PyL•etic Saline, curing the wort headaches, sicknhss, skin, or biliary affections.

The horses in training of Mr. Mackenzie, who is giving up racing for the present, wore disposed of on Monday by Messrs. Tattersall, and realised good prices, one only to nitining unsold. Mr. P. Rowlands bought the first three lots, it was presulned, for Sir W. Call. Mochrie is a useful looking filly and a good fencer. Courtier, a very well shaped colt by King of Trumps out of Last Love, is cer tain to win a race, and was not dear at 550 guineas. Ram part has shown some racing form, and being sound will also be an acquisition to the stable. Victorine was taken by Mr. R. 8011, for the Cobham stud, and, being by Orlando, was worth the money. Mr. Heathcoto gave quite enough for Slowman, who, although a good-looking colt, is rather uncertain, having frequently deceived his lute owner. Brown Brew], who showed the mark of the irons on his fore legs and fetlocks, looked very fresh, and having been a good horse on the Turf, as well as highly bred, is likely to make a useful stallion. He was decidedly cheap to Mr. Eyka at 300 guineas. The yearlings of Mr. Morris, four in number, were not sold. They were bread near Hooton, and are by. Carnival and Macaroni. Mr. Morris has sent them to be trained by Drewitt, at Lewes. The names of the purchasers, with the list of prices, are appended: The Property of Mr. Mackenzie. Gs.

Dr. Halpin now reports that about twelve hours after the crew had been rescued from the timber laden ship Empire Queen, which had sunk on Arkiow Bank, the vessel floated off with 18 feet of water in her hold. The wind was blowing strong at the time from W.S.W., and increased to a moderate gale during the night. When it was first observed that she had floated the agent for the owners obtained the services of the lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution to go with the master and others that an effort might be made to save her. The boat was accord ingly launched, the vessel boarded, and with much difficulty she was got before the wind, worked up to Kingstown, and placel in a safe berth in the Old Harbour. The Bristol steamer Rosetta took the ship in tow for a time, but failed to manage her, owing to the loss of her rudder. The assistance of the pilot boat Leinster was afterwards engaged, she going astern and steering, and when the water logged vessel arrived off Dalkey Island the steam tugs came out and towed her into harbour. The New Free Press of Vienna gives the sub jo:n.d details respecting the sad deaths of Prince Gagarin and his son, the latter seventeen years of ag,3 :—" The father and son, accompanied by M. Reimann, the tutor of the young man, were at seven in the evening fishing in a rather shallow mill-stream quite close to the water-lock of Ischl, in Upper Austria, when, without notice given, the gates were suddenly opened, and the three gentle men were carried away by the torrent. M. Rei mann succeeded in gaining the left bank, and he immediately rushed across the bridge to the assist ance of the Prince and his son, whom he had seen disappearing on the right of the stream. At the same time the Princess, who was seated in a sedan chair looking on, witnessed the whole catastrophe, and at first mute with terror, she at last fainted, and was in that state taken to her hotel. The un happy wife and mother said to Dr. Hirschfeld, on his coming to her aid : " All my fortune shall be yours if you save my husband and son !' Assist ance was quickly organised ; the Prince was soon found, but he had received an injury in the head from coming in contact with a floating piece of wood, and to restore life was impossible. The body of his son was not recovered until next morn ing. The Princess, long an invalid, is in a critical state. The Emperor of Austria was among the first to testify his profound sympathy for her in this calamity, and he begged that she should re move to Smunden in order to be absent from a locality which must cause her such poignant recol lections." Mr. Barnett Lyons, dating from 11, Mount square, Cardiff, tells a strange story in a local news paper. Mr. Lyons states that on the 23rd of March last his daughter Esther left her home, and at the end of a week was traced to the residence of the Rev. Nathaniel Thomas, a Baptist minister, residing at Roath. At first Mr. Thomas denied that the girl was in his house, but ultimately his wife told Mr. Lyons that the girl had been there, but had since been remove.' " into hands the safest and best in all ways," which Mrs. Thomas will "never betray." In an extraordinary letter from this lady, whizh Mr. Lyons publishes, she tells him that her conscience is perfectly clear, and she does not fear any punishment which he may inflict. She assures him she is the friend and not the enemy of his family, of whose heads she would not hurt a hair, and she prays that " the veil may be removed" from before Mr. Lyons,• and that he " may .mourn and bathe in the fountain opened for sin and for uncleanness, and be saved." In the meanwhile knowledge of his daughter's whereabouts is denied him. 7IIE ASII7ON RIOTS. Au important action, arising out of the recent religious disturbances, was tried on Mondiy, before the Lord Chief alroll, at the Salford Assizes. It was an action against the inhabitants of the Salford Hundred to recover dainage3 for the injuries done to St. Mary's Roman Catholic Chapel and priest's house, in the borough of Ash!on-under-Lyue, during the riots on the 10th and 11th of May. Mr. Hopwood appeared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Higgin, Q.C., and Mr. Addison ftir the defendants. The Lord Chief Baron, in summing up, sail there was no doubt that the plaintiff was not en titled to recover, unless he made out that the chapel had been feloniously demolished, pulled down, or destroyed, wholly or in *part, by persons riotously and tumultuously assembled together. It would not be a demolition in whole or in part, un less there was an intention on the part of those who were engaged in that undoubtedly riotous and tu multuous assemblage to destroy the chapel as a chapel. Tie pulling out of a single brick of a house, it it was intended by thote who did it, if unin terrupted, to pull down the whole edifice, would amount. to a demolition in part; but if there was an absence of that intention, then the mere doing of mischief to the chapel or house would not be a demolition, pulling down, or destruction in part, any more than a mischievous boy throwing a stone through a window would be a demolition or pull. iug down in part. It might be the first step towards it, but it must depend on the intention of the persons whether the act done, injurious in itself, was a partial demolition, pulling down, or destruc tion. He did not think, however, that Mr. Higgins was correct in the view which he took—namely, that there must be a destruction of the body, the carcass, so to speak, of the chapel, in order to con stitute the offence. No doubt there was great diffi culty in defining exactly what was meant by demo ' lition. His meaning would be better expressed by au illustration. If the rioters, having got inside the chapel, had set fire to it, they would h„ve shown au intention to destroy it utterly ; so, on the other hand, if men had taken into the chapel crowbars, and begun.to demolish the solid woodwork and brickwork of the place, that would have been an act from which the inference would almost irresistibly have been drawn that they did intend to destroy the chapel as a chapel. If, however, the rioters had no other in tention but to do mischief, to commit such acts as would evidence their hatred and scorn of the worship carried on there, or their hatred of the Irish party who were personified or represented, as it were, by the building they came to attack ; if their intention was to pull down the figure sacred in the eye of the Roman Catholics, and to trample upon it and destroy it, and that only—that would not be an invention to demolish the chapel. 'There was undoubtedly evidence upon which the jury might adopt either of those views. The crowd seamed to have uttered cries which, if they were to be taken as exactly expressing their intention, would indicate an intention to destroy the place— " Let's pull down. the chapel," and so on. But, as they must all unfortunately know, language in the mouths of low ruffians like those rioters did not always express the idea which was, prima fixie, contained in the words. They were the in:ails of expressing merely a high-wrought state of fury. if the jury came to the conclusion that they really expressed the intention of those who uaered them, then the rioters would have fulfilled the language of the act. The jury must use their own judgment, and say what was their (the rioters') intention. The jury found a verdict for the defendants. MARKET S-2 MS DAY. CORN.

Cross a colony of wild pigeons has taken up its abode, where they make their nest and bring forth their young. These nestlings of peace seem strangely placed beneath the feet of the great naval warrior. Nothing woul 4 have pleased the little hero better, however, than to have known that his monument would afford a resting place for weary wings ; batter this than Westminster Abbey. Pigeons seem to hav,3 a fancy for the metro polis. The Guildhall-yard is more like a fancier's establishment than the court of the Civic Hall of London, and the new Houses of Parliament afford a roosting place for large flocks of these birds, which find secure retreats in the elaborate carved work, and breed in the Tudor crowns so plentifully scattered over the face of the building. So also Somerset House and the Custom Hoeft—Once a Week. 'Co st 1 1001 102 i 1061 IC7I I log
