THE TAILORS' STRIKE.—John Griffiths, a tailor, living at No. 66, King-street, Regent-street, and a member of the Union, was charged before Mr. Knox with using threatening language towards Israel Rose, a non-unionist tailor, residing in Loundes-court, Carnaby-street, whereby a breach of the peace was likely to be caused. The Complainant said —Yesterday evening be tween 7 and 8 o'clock I was passing along King street when the prisoner came up to me and called me a " —dung," and that if I would put up m y brains out." I hands he would " knock my m anaged to get away from the prisoner, and sub sequently he came up to me and again and again threatened me. Ido not wish to hurt the prisoner, but all I wish is not to be m este in the streets, and to be at liberty to go where I d like. The prisoner—l had had a little to drink, and seeing the prosecutor 'suppose it brought the matter into my mind. him nea to r Sergeant Cole, 23 C—Yesterday evening the last witness camels the Vine-street Police-station, and made a compint of being annoyeda. and when t w o h ld en go home, and I would follow him to p s r e i e so t n h e a r t walked up not molested. I followed him, Archbishop Tennison's Chapel the up to the complainant and said, " You what are you going to do now ? You dung, u -- cur, I'll do for you, and break your nose." Mr. Knox—ls this business still going on among the tailors? Sergeant Cole— It is, and is increasing. There is still a good deal of ill-feeling existing, and it will be worse before it is better. There is plenty of work, but the men will not do it, and the masters cannot get men. Jr.r K....--Was the prisoner drunk ? Sergeant Cole—He was not. Mr. Knox (to the prisoner)—lt is disgraceful of you to abuse one man in the public streets in such a manner. I shall require you to find a surety in £5O to keep the peace for three months. THANIES. BURGLARY AND EXTENSIVE ROBBERT.—Yester day Joseph Barnett, a Jew clothier, of No. 10, Elder-street, Shoreditch, was brought before Mr. Benson charged with being concerned, with others, in feloniously and burglariously breaking and en tering the premises of Mr. James Pengelly, tailor, of No. 297, Mile-end-road, and stealing therefrom property valued at £lOO. ➢ir. Stoddart, solicitor, defended the prisoner. Mr. Benson asked if the case was complete, to which Inspector Gee, of the K division, replied in the negative. He said that a most serious burglary had been committed on the premises of the prose cutor on Thursday night last, or early on Friday morning, and the prosecutor's shop was stripped of everything it contained except a few buttons. There were others concerned in the burglary and robbery who had not been apprehended. Mr. Benson directed Mr. Thomas, the second clerk, to take a short note only of the proceedings, and to reserve the taking of a formal deposition for the sessions until the case was ready for trial. The prisoner was remanded for a week. MARKETS.—(7 his Day.) HAY AND STRAW. The markets were fairly supplied this morning, and trade was steady, without any change in prices. Meadow hay, 60s to 888 ; clover, 60s to 103 s; straw, 278 to 32s per load. POTATOES. The trade continues steady, with moderate supplies of old, but rather increased arrivals of new. Prices remain without quotable change. COLONIAL AND FOREIGN PRODUCE. s uGA ß.—Refined sugars continue at moderate request and steady in value. Common English lump, 46s 6d. De liveries of raw sugars are good, and in excess of last year's at this time, whilst the generality of warehouse is little in excess of the relative deficiency to 27,000 tons. The market opened rather quiet, but with a firm tone in the market. COFFEE.—The market is healthy, with largo deliveries and diminished stock, but there is still an excess o f 5,200 cwt. over that of last year at this time. TEA.—Public salsa of 11,500 packages commenced this Pawning, with a fair competition, at the previous cur- rency. Rtig.-But little doing, and rates unchanged. Stock, 22,570 gallons, against 26,850 gallons last year, but a good deal in course of landing. Rice.— On the spot the m arket is quiet, and of 11,374 bags at auction nearly the wh ole was bought in, fine white Bengal, at 168 to 16s 6d; Rangoon, 13, per cwt. TALLOW. The market is quiet but steady, at 43s 9d on the sp o t ; the same for Juno, and 44s 3d for last three months. COTTON. LIVERPOOL, May O.—Sales probably 5,000 bales. Mar ket quiet and prices drooping. The Italian papers state that an interesting correspondence between Lord Byron and the Armenian monks of St. Lazare, near Venice, has been recently discovered in that monastery. It will be remembered that Lord Byron spent a con siderable portion of his time at St. Lazare, and that he cherished a great affection for the monks of that interesting monastery, to whom he alludes in his " Childe Harold." The Orchestra says that a sort of male musical Biflin is to arrive in Paris in a few days from Prussia—namely, a violinist, who is reported to execute andantes by Beriot and fantasias from Aleyerbeer without arms, of which members the artist is utterly deprived by nature. He places his violin on a stool before him, takes his bow between the toes of his left foot, and presses the strings with the toes of his right foot. The newspapers are teeming with references to econo my in tea by co-operation. Hornier= and Co. have for 30 years co,opers.teci through Agents to supply tea on more advantageous terms than by the ordinary channel; their tea roac4eB khe consumer in the sane pure state as it leaves the iirctWert skit il4 ICKW,CI in packets. 75 THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENT .

I !Say W THE PROSECUTION OF EX-GOVEROR EYRE. BOW-STREET.—THIS Das. The adjourned summons taken out against Ex-Governor Eyre for issuing an illegal proclama tion in the Island of Jamaica, in Oct., 1865, was proceeded with this morning. Lord De Blaquirre, Sir Roderick Murchison, and Major Anson, members of the Eyre Defence Fund, were amongst those present to hear the proceed- ings. Sir It. Collier and Mr. 11. Paynes appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Giffard, (.C., and Mr. Poland for the defence. Mr. Lake, one of the witnesses en mined before the royal commissioners, was this morning asked some questions by Mr. Giffard. lie said he had been iu the service of Messrs. Shava and Roscoe, the solicitors for the prosecution, f)r some time. He had seen, after he arrived at Worant Bay, a great number of persons hanged, by of court martial. G. W. Gordon was amonp,..t the number. lie had seen Dr. Bruce often at tau office of his employers. In answer to Mr. Vaughan, he sisicl when he ar rived at Morant Bay, ou the 13411 Oct., all was quiet. Edward Marsh, a seaman on board the Wolverine on the 13th of October. He went down with some troops to Morant Bay, where he remained all night. He then re turned to Kingston, and went bac!c to the bay on the 14th with arms. Governor Eyre came on board at the bay. We embarked some prisoners at nigh t from the port, and proceeded with them to Port Antonio on Sunday, the 15th. Governor Eyre landed at Port Antonio, but he (the witness) remained on board until the Monday, when one man was hung before dinner, and several after. lie recollected on one occasion seeicg thirteen banging at one time after that. He saw Gordon brought on board after he was arrested, and then he was taken to Morant Bay. He helped to take him ashore. When they got there he was handed over to the provost-marshal. He knew Dr. Bruce, and recollected his being taken on board, and landed at the same place, but there was nobody there to receive him. He was too old. By duty, Mr. Giffard—lie was not on shore to do and did not know where the troops were again in the evening. He saw Mr. Eyre leave the Wolveriney r . taken to. B By Mr. Giffard — He was one of those w h o towed Vaughan:—He n a u d gha n return the schooner back before she was captured. She had 100 kegs of gunpowder and a Haytian general on board. General La Motte, he thought, was the name of the officer. They were all put on shore at Port Royal. He also saw an American bark with white people on board. By Mr. Vaughan—That was about a week after they had taken the schooner. The schooner was armed, and had a crew of nine or ten persons. Walter Rea said he was in Jamaica in 1865. He was also a seaman on board the Wolverine, and went to Morant Bay on the 12th of October. The Governor arrived the day after. He came into the tent on the 13th, and read martial law there from a paper. There were about 100 seamen and marines there at the time. After he had finished he told us all he hoped we ehould do our duty. The next morning he went with a party of marines and sailors to Essington, which was about 28 miles from Morant Bay. Lieut. Oxley was in command. \Ve were armed, and each man had forty rounds of ammunition. Our orders were to shoot anybody we saw running away and could not capture. The orders were obeyed. A man was seen running amongst some bushes, when 12 men fired and wounded him. After that Sergt. O'Connor of the Marines ran down to the beech and shot him with a revolver. He did not think the man shot was armed; he offered no resistance, but only tried to escape. An other man was playing a flute outside a cottage. He ran away, when a marine fired at him and wounded him, and another marine shot him dead, and he was then thrown into the bush. Another case somewhat similar occurred, but we were told that the last man had been seen in the market Place inciting the people to rebellion. About fifty prisoners were taken on the road. Guards were placed at every d )or of the Court-house at Essington. He (witness) mounted guard over the prisoners. Lieut. Errington pointed out one of the men that was condemned to death, and in about fl e e minutes after that man was lashed to a tree and shot. A great uumber.of prisoners were taken when we returned to Morant Bay, where they were put in a tent and a black sentry placed over them. After that we were sent to Stoney Gut. A female fired a pistol at us after we got there, but she hit nobody. That was the only resistance we met with in the village, as the people had all left it. We pulled down the houses, about 20, and cut down the cocoa nut trees. A party of the 6th Regiment after that began to burn the houses, and the sailors then followed their example. We remained three days at Stoney Gut, during which time all the houses were destroyed. Cross-examined by Mr. Giffard—lt would be im possible to catch any person after they had suc ceeded in getting into the bush or sugar-cane. There were 100 black soldiers, a battery of artillery, and the blue-jackets and marines belonging to the ship at Morant Bay when we landed. 'f he party that went to Stoney Gut numbered 100. The position we went to take was a very im portant one ; it commanded the high road to Kingston. It was thought so important that double sentries were provided at all points. It was nearly surrounded by bush, and, owing to the rain, the difficulty of keeping communication open was increased. It would be impossible to get artillery into position at Stoney Gut. We found a number of female dresses in the houses at Stoney Gut, but they were clothes far above the station of the people who would reside at Stoney Gut. Pau Bogle was still at large at that time. By Mr. Vaughan —We met with no disturbance at all after we first landed, either in going to or re turning from Stoney Gut. Frederick Augustus Vining said he was at King ston, in Jamaica, in 1865, and recollected the pro clamation of martial law. There was no outbreak, or breach of the peace at the time in the place ; nothing, in fact, save the excitement such a procla mation caused. The courts of law were open, and remained so during the whole time martial law was in force. On Sunday, the 21st of October, he was arrested by an ordinary policeman, without a warrant, and without any charge being made. He was locked up, and on asking why he was de prived of his liberty he received no reply. On the 22d he was removed from the barracks where he had been confined, and taken to Uppark Camp. Dr. Bruce' was placed in the same cell that he occupied two or three days later on. While in confinement he wa s ordered to witness the flogging of the men. After that he was visited by Mr. Bick nell, the police ma gistrate of Kingston, and on again asking why he was arrested, the magistrate said he saw no reason for it, and had he the power he would order his release, lie afterwards saw Gen.O'Connor, but he could not tell him the grounds for his arrest. After he been detained 20 days, he was liberated without the slightest charge being made against hi m . He had nothing to do with the disturbance at Morant Bay. By Mr. Giffard—The population he should think was about 400,000 black and coloured and about 50,000 whites. He had no means of arriving at any correct information on the subject, but if the number of whites put down at the last census in 1866 was set down only at 15,000 he was not pre pared to question it. Mr. Vaughan asked hew it was proposed to con nect Mr. Eyre with the last witness ? Sir R. Collier said it would be seen that the last witness's name was amongst those arrested, and mentioned in a despatch written by Mr. Eyre to Mr. Cardwell in 1865, and those whom it was de sirable to try by court-martial. Mr. Alexander Phillips, a. native of Jamaica, said he was a resident in the island in 1865. His horn:: was about 43 miles from the proclaimed district. He had nothing to do wittt.the outbreak directly or Mr. M'LAREN next movod a resolution asserting the Maim of Scotland to an increase of lo members, but with drew it after a short conversation, in the course of which ➢lr.

Mr. DISRAELI reminded the house that its numbers had been twice increased within the present century, and on each occasion a proportionate increase in its legislative efficiency and influence had followed. Tho house, in his opinion, was not too large, and it never could maintain its position as a popular and representative Assembly if its numbers were to be limited. But he admitted that there was a strong feeling even among his own friends against increasing its numbers, and the practical question there fore was reduced to this—were the members necessary to do justice to Scotland to be obtained by Mr. Baxter's or Sir R. Knightley's plan? He supported the last, reminding the house that twice last year it had decided not to ex tinguish the representation of any place. He urged, how ever, above all, a speedy decision, and whatever it might be, the Government, he added, would use their best efforts to facilitate the passing of the bill. Mr. GLADSTONE supported Mr. Baxter's instruction, as more favourable to the equable diffusion of representa tion, and the same line was taken by Mr. 11. Bailiie and Mr. Yorke, speaking on the Conservative side ; while Mr. 3leLaren, from the Liberal benches, supported Sir R. Knightley. Mr. Sinclair Aytouu and the Lord Advocate e ndeavoured to make some observations, but were unable to obtain a hearing from the impatience of the house.

BOWYER expressed some• doubt whether the committee on the Scotch Reform Bill could proceed to dis franchise English boroughs, but the Speaker assured him there was no difficulty in the matter. The house then went into committee on the bill. Clause 2 was omitted, and on clause 3 there was a long and, in its results, a most important discussion. Mr. BOUVERIE moved the omission of that section of the clause which requires the payment of rates as a qualifi cation for a vote. It was opposed by the Government strenuously, but on a division it was carried by a majority of 22-118 to 96. On this Mr. DISRAELI rose and, amid much cheering from the Ministerial side, moved to report progress, to give the Government an opportunity of considering the vote just given, expressing at the -same time a sense of disappoint ment that his desire to bring the bill to a satisfactory ter mination had not been met with an adequate response. Mr. BRIGHT, not opposing the motion, reminded Mr. Disraeli that the large majority of Scotch members wore decidedly in favour of the amendment, and exhorted him, having already abandoned one vital principle in the course of the night, not to insist obstinately on the principle of rating. Mr. B. COCHRANE expressed his warm approbation of Mr. Disraeli's mode of meeting a' factious opposition,' and declared it never would have been resorted to but for Mr. Disraeli's accession to office. Mr. BOUVERIE reminded Mr. Disraeli—whose general desire to meet the wishes of Scotch members he cordially recognised—that he had been forewarned of their inten tion to insist on this amendment, and pointed out that the bill introduced an innovation into the Scotch practice. Mr. LIDDELL cordially approved the course taken by the Government, and, strengthened by the events of the evening, he repeated the opinion expressed by him some ten days ago, that their present position could not be pro longed with credit to themselves or advantage to the country. Sir 0. RUSSELL also warmly recommended the Go vernment to put an end to the present unsatisfactory con dition of affairs, but not by resignation. Now that the house had arrived at the threshold of a dissolution, he hoped the issue would no longer be shirked, for the coun try thoroughly understood that the question in dispute was not the Irish Church, but a struggle for power. Sir L. PALK held that the GOVOIIIIIIOIIt had now no longer a choice between resignation and immediate dis solution, but Mr. GILPIN advised M r.

The secoud reading should come ou on the 22d inst. It was an honest bill on the part of Government, and he should have desired to proceed with it but looking to the posifon of politics and the affairs of the other house, he was obliged to announce that the hover❑- ment were reluctantly compelled to abandon the bill, and therefore he muved that it should be discharged. Earl GRANVILLE said that Ito approved of the course taken by the noble duke in withdrawing the b►ll under the present circumstances, cud entirely agreed in the matter of the conscience clause. He regretted that the bill itself could not bo proceeded with, for there were itrin3 points which might have be,u made the subject of discussion and improve ment. It was absolutely necessary, as Parliament did no know what Government would do with regard to educa tion, that they should be informed what course was to b.) pursued. The Duke of MARLBOROUGH said. that there would be no departure on the part of the office from the course usually pursued until an alteration was made by Parliament. REGULATION OF RAILWAYS BILL. The report of Amendments was brought up, and The Marquis of SALISBURY urged upon their lord ships that they should not persist in the clause which proposed what he might term excessive supervision over the companies. If they enforced this regulation with regard to tickets, the effect would be hat the com panies would not alter their fares or lower them. The best thing that they could do would be to leave railway companies to take care of themselves, or they would introduce a system of red-tapeism which had been found most obnoxious inGovern meat officers. The putting the price upon the tickets would necessitate, when any reduction took place, the printing of fresh numbers of them. After a few remarks from Lord STANLEY of A L DER L Ey, tips clause was carried. The Endowed Schools Bill was read a second time. The sitting was closed at 25 minutes past seven o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS—LAsT EvENWG. The SPEAKEU took the Chair at 4 o'clock. NEW WRIT. Mr. ADAM moved the issuing of a new writ for the Eastern Division of Worcester, in the room of Lord Cal therm now Baron Calthorpe. The motion was agreed to. IRISH CONVICTS. Mr. TAYLOR asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether it was a fact that a prisoner in Mountjoy Prison, who declared himself a Unitarian, was ordered by the governor to select his religion as Anglican, Roman ()Atli°, lk, or Presbyterian,and that, on declining to do so, he was sentenced to a penal cell, with bread and water diet ? The Earl of MAYO presumed the question related to the case of John Murphy, a convict, and which took place in the year 1865. When the man was received in prison the governor applied to him to know what was his religion. The convict said he had none, and when he was removed to another prison the governor at once directed the convict to select his religion immediately— (laughter) —but he still refused, saying that ho had none, and had never been to church, and the governor then ordered him to be placed on penal diet for three days, (Laughter.) T wo days after he had to be taken to the hos pital; but after he had been there about three day he was discharged therefrom and again put on penal diet. (Laughter.) He then selected the Roman Catholic re ligion. Penal diet did not consist of bread and water alone. It would, however, be necessary to make a rule to meet such cased for the future.
