Yesterday the City magistrates held a meeting at Guildhall, the Lord Mayor presiding. Some rou tine business having been transacted, ➢lr. Alderman Wilson called attention to the fact that on Satur day last Mr. Baron Pigott and a jury sitting at the Central Criminal Court were kept waiting forty minutes for want of an alderman to constitute a quorum. lie reminded the Court that they had a standing order to the effect that whenever the busi ness of the Central Criminal Court should be sus- pended or delayed through the absence of an Alder man the Sheriffs for the time being should report the fact in writing to the Court of Aldermen, and state the name of the Alderman whose absence hal occasioned the suspension or delay. The circum stance of the delay in this case, he said, had been reported in the newspapers, and he asked why the Sheriffs had not complied with the bylaw of the Court. Mr. Alderman and Sheriff Stone explained in effect that there had been a prevailing impression that the Central Criminal Court last week would not sit longer than the Friday, and that two others of the courts had concluded their business on that day ; that Sir James Duke and Sir Francis Moon, who were the senior Aldermen on the rota, did not attend on Saturday, it being the custom is such a state of things for the junior Alderman to be pre sent to constitute a court, who happened in this case to be Mr. Alderman Gibbons, who, believing the business would conclude on the Friday, at tended a funeral on the Saturday, omitting, he be. lieved, to ask a brother alderman to take his place at the Central Criminal Court in the event of the sessions being continued into Saturday ; that in the emergency Mr. Alderman Causton having presented himself, the business proceeded, and that Mr. Baron Pigott afterwards said h 3 was perfectly satisfied with the explanation. Mr. Sheriff Store added that it was a highly important occasion, foi without the attendance of an alderman the judge 1.11 no power to adjourn the Court, and the jury might have been discharged, in which event the case would havelial to be tried over again. The Lord Mayor, as the he:►d o! the Commission, said he was not satisfied that the business should have been delayed for 40 minutes for want of an alderman, and that if the Under-Sheriff had taken due precautions in warn ing the aldermen on the rota such a circumstance would not have occurred. Mr. Alderman Gibbons said the Under-Sheriff was not at all to blame in the matter, for he had apprised him (Mr. Alderman Gibbons) by letter, that he would be wanted on Saturday, but, unfortunately, that letter did not reach him. until Monday, he (Mr. Alderman Gib bons) iu the meantime having been called out of town to attend a funeral, and having been under the impression that the business of the sessions would finish on the Friday evening. The delay was altogether accidental so far as he was concerned, and he was extremely sorry that it should hive occurred. Mr. Alderman Wilson said the Under- Sheriff ought to have apprised all the rest of the aldermen on the rota that they might be wanted on the Saturday. Sir James Duke said when one court only was sitting it was never expected that the se nior alderman on the rota should attend. He should go from there to the Home Secretary and ask him to introduce a clause into some bill rendering it un necessary that an alderman should be present to constitute a court. Sir William 11)33 hoped that would be the expression of an individual opinion on the subject, since the circumstance had been purely exceptional, and there were paid commissioners of the Central Criminal C.nirt who were as much under an obligation to be present to form a court as any of the aldermen. That very day the Court of Al dermen had waited 25 minutes for the Lord Mayor. He did not say there had been any inconvenience in that, but it would be absurd for any one to as sign it as a reason for doing away with the Court of Aldermen. After a few words from Mr. Alder man Salomons, M.P., the subject was allowed to drop. On the motion of Mr. Alderman Lawrence, M.P., a vote of thanks to Colonel Fraser, the City Commissioner of Police, was passel for the highly efficient manner in which the City police, under his direction, had performed the special duty of protecting the gaol of Ncwgate and the Sessions house in the Old Bailey during the confinement and trial of the prisoners charged with being con cerned in the Clerkenwell outrage: Mr. Sheriff Stone bore emphatic testimony, from his own per sonal knowledge, to the unwearied devotion of the police on the occasion, lasting over many months, to the effective arrangements made by the Commissioner (Colonel Fraser) for preserv ing the public peace .on the execution of the convict Barrett, at which there was not a single accident, and to the admirable efficiency of the whole city police at this time. Sir William Rose said no one knew, except those connected with the city police, what they had gone through during the alarca caused by the Fenian organisa tion, seeing that there was scarcely a public estab lishment or a great warehouse in the city to which threatening letters had not been addressed, or which had not been menaced with Greek fire. A letter was read from the home Secretary calling the attention of the Court to the fact that the new statute providing for the execution within prison walls of convicts for capital offences had re ceived the Royal ass .nt, and asking for any sug gestion the Court might, have to offer for carrying out the act, especially with reference to the seventh clause. On the motion of Mr. Alderman and Siteriff Stone the letter was reforred to the Gaol Committee, an 1 the Court adjourned. The Price of Gold. The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and t short exchange on London is 251. Vic. per £1 sterling. cmparing these rates with the English Mint price of V Gs. 141 per ounce for standard gold, it appears that g,.1.1 is at about the same price in Paris and London. The course of exchange at I\ cw York on London for bads at 60 days' eight was oa the last date about 1101 per cent !It this late there is scarcely any profit on the importation of gold from the United states.

A motion was this morning made by Mr. Coleridge for a commission to New South Wales and Chili. lit said that the object of the commission would be for the purpose of obtaining witnesses, and re ceiving their evidence. in Australia and South America. It dull not, he apprehended, be ob jected to by the petitioner, inasmuch as it was only to support the testimony of a gentleman who had been absent long from home, and who relied upon these witnesses as persons who could identify him. if it was found that what he had stated was true it would be ad vantageous to him, and if it was found otherwise his client would certainly be entitled to the com mission. Sergeant Ballantine objected that tho suit ha I been long pending, that it was only owing to the death of his mother that the petitioner was enabled to come before that Court, and that through the life the petitioner had led in tropical regions, it was uncertain how long he would live, and therefore they wished the matter settled, kid as there were many persons in England who could identify him it would be a waste of time to issue a commission. The learned Judge thought to have a commission would be necessary, and granted it ac3ordingly. QUEEN'S lIENCII. RISK ALLAH V. WRIfEIiURST.-LIBEL.

STEALING BOOKS.—Henry Charles Watson, a porter, in the employ of Mr. Barber, waste paper dealer, of Onslovr-street, Farringdon-road, was charged before Mr. Arnold with stealing eight books, the property of Messrs. Chapman and Hall, booksellers, of No. 193, Piccadilly. Charles Butcher, a plain clothes officer of the C division, said that in consequence of information be received he went yesterday to the shop of a Mr. Jones, in Leather-lane, and asked him if he had purchased any books off the prisoner, and he readily admitted that he had, and he then went to the prisoner and asked him if he had sold any books to Mr. Jones, and he several times denied doing so. He took the prisoner to Mr. Jones, who at once identified him as the person he had bought the books off. He then took the prisoner into custody, and when he was at the station he admitted selling the books to Mr. Jones, and said they came from Messrs. Chapman and Hall's, of No. 193, Picca dilly. The books were produced, and consisted of some ' volumes of the works of Mr. Charles Dickens, and the first volume of '‘ The Holy Land." Mr. Wm. Somerville Orr, managing clerk of the firm of Messrs. Chapman and Hall, identified the books as the property of the firm, and stated that at the time they were taken the volume of the " Holy Land" was not published. The prisoner was porter in the employ of a wholesale dealer in waste paper, and was employed by him in removing waste paper from their establishment. Mr. Charles Win Jones, book se ll er , of Leather lane, proved he pr had ovekdbnuo:iwinng the books off the prisoner, for some y ears .

SPOItTIVG IN rELLIGENC,L-. WINDSOR JUNE MEETING-TUESDAY. This meeting will Certainly bear comparison with m 0 .4 .)f the gatherings, metropolitan or suburban, not only in point of attendance, but in the quality of the sport pro vided. To-day the weather was highly favourable, and though in some cases the course was hard going, it was not so bad as might have been expected from the recent dry weather. The ring was very well filled by specula tors, but there seemed a falling off of the outside public, although the lengthy programme issued certainly afforded abundant sport, there being no fewer than nine items on the card for decision. A Handicap Plate of 40 sous brought out four runners, and Traviata was sot down as a cer tainty for the event, long o Ids being very freely laid on her; but her chance was upset by the despised Weather Isle, to the chagrin of the " talent." Backers were, bow- ever, successful in their next venture, by landing with a filly by Thormanby ; but they were again wofully out in the Eton Handicap, for which P) then was - highly fancied and finished nearly last; while the race was won by Lic tor, who started at 10 t 3 1. After the racing Stakes had been disposed of, a severe blow was given to backers in the Thames Plate, as the chosen one, Belphegor, turned tail on the starter's Rag being lowered, and took no part in the race. Electricity, as at Croydon, easPy disposed of her opponents in a Two-Year-011 Plate; and a filly out of Lady Lotty beat from end to end one of the Chaplin .Machell stable fillies—Problem—who had been greatly fancied notwithstanding the weight, which palpably told upon her within the distancr. The French colt, Masani ello, the winner of the New Two-Year-Old Stakes at Ep som, had no trouble in disposing of hop Girl in the Royal Stakes; and the proceedings wore concluded with the Rays Handicap, in which Mr. B.irber's filly Alicia, who had previously run a good second, beat her field cleverly.

Mr. KNATCLIBULL fIUGESSEN, in moving the second reading of this bill, said that on a previous occasion he had fully explained the details of the measure, and had hoped therefore not now to trouble the house with a lengthy statement. Thera were, however, difficulties thrown in the way of passing the bill. Petitions had been presented against it as adding to the local taxation. Many thought the burden ehould be laid upon the general taxation of the country, whilst others again urged that the present method worked wall. The hon. mem ber appealed to official documents, to show that the expenses of collection, &c., amounted to 30 per cent. on the turnpike revenues. Under this new bill powers were conferred on the ratepayers which had hitherto rested on an irresponsible body of persons. By the termination of two trusts last year the expenses of nearly 670 miles of road were throws upon the rates of the parishes, and he coll.' cite many instances to show the unequal bearing of the present system. As to the o'.jection that the debt should be defrayed out of the Consolidated Fund, he did not think it was founded on justice. Tee banlhollers could not have a permanent claim on the tolls. They lend their money cm a contract, w:11 knowing that the c entr.tet was terminable at any time . The present system caused a don le set of expenses in the Same district, and it was to the interest of th oil 331'S to keep the tolls still in d )bt. Tim 3u, again, the represent•-- tives of the agriculturists said that the c tpitalist an 1 the bondholder would escape payment uu ler the bill. Tile hon. member th -n showed how many anomalies would be removed if a district rate were adapted as he proposed. lie replied to the obj..ction that the bill gave too much power to the Hove Secretary. - - Mr: KNIGHT moved that the bill be read a second time that day six months. A long discussion followed, during which Mr. G. Hardy said, although he could not assent to the bill, yet he thought that some itnprovetnent of the system of manage tnent of the main roads of the country was rendered neces sary in consequence of the extension of railways. Mr. HUGESSEN said the general principles of his bill having been admitted, he would not troulbe the house further, but withdraw it. MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS (METROPOLIS) BILL. Mr. S. MILL moved the second reading of this bill, the object of which was to give to the metropolis eight municipal districts, and to allow each to exercise the powers of the municipal corporations. The effect of such an arrangement would be not to increase the rates, as had been said, but to keep them down, and prevent those local quarrels which now were by no means uncommon amongst local bodies. The vestries would cease their sittings, and tho Metropolitan Board of Works, which had nearly accomplished the work for which it had been created, would no longer be required, as the municipal bodies created under the bill would be enabled to transact the business done by that body in a far more efficient manner. Ho had originally intended to introduce a measure to create ono central and directing body, but that he had been prevented from doing so owing to certain requirements of the standing orders not having been complied with as far as regarded the city of London. Mr. C. BENTINCK objected to the bill, and moved that it be read a second time that day six months. The mea sure, in his opinion, instead of a llaying jealousies, would greatly increase them ; and, with respect to economy, the whole thing vanished, as by one of the clause of the bill each of these metropolitan districts was to erect ep tcious town halls, and money was to be set aside for the enter taining of strangers. He thought it would be bet'er for the hon. member dhe waited until the other bill he had referred to was before the house before he had proceeded with the one now under consideration. He objected to the bill because it was strongly opposed by the vestries, and a very powerful deputaticn from the metropolitan vestries protested against the measure. It was idle to say that the great body of ratepayers were in favour of the bill; ho felt certain it was repudiated by every one who had given the least consideration to it. Mr. HARVEY LEWIS opposed the bill, which he thought would greatly increase rather than diminish parochial expenses. There had been no particular demand for the measure that he was aware of, and under such circumstances he hoped the house would refuse to give the bill a second reading. Col. HOGG opposed the bill. With respect to the pe; Lions presented hi favour of the bill, he lsi.d been curious, and on inquiry he found they had amounted to 239, with 241. signatures. (Laughter.) He did nut think the hon. member for Westminster could Iry the people of Loudon were in favour of the bill. He thought the result of creat ing these corporations would be to call into being a squab bling mass, and the perpetration of innumerable jobs. Mr. AYRTON said instead of proceeding with the bill, it would be much better to pass a resolution, calling upon the Government to take the matter into their considera tion, with a view of introducing a bill for the bettor go vernment of the metropolis. Sir J. FERGUSON said ho could not vote for the second reading of the bill. Mr. LOCKE also opposed the bill. Sir S. NORTHCOTE was addressing the house at a quarter to six, at which hour the debate ceased in ac cordance with the standing orders. MUNICIPAL RATES (EDINBURGH) BILL. This bill went through committee and was reported without amendment. The house then adjourned.. MILITIA.—On the day of inspection of the militia in England in 1867 there were present 1,625 offi cers, 2,986 non-commissioned officers, and 54,225 privates There wore absent with leave 228 officers, 17 non-com missioned officers, and 1,195 privates ; and absent without leave 11 officers, 3 non-commissioned officers, and 3,518 privates. In Scotland there were present 234 officers, 429 non-commissioned officers, and 8, - 232 privates; and there wore absent with leave 35 officers and 120 privateQ, and without leave 2 officers, 1 non-commissioned officer, and 411 privates. The militia. in Ireland was not trained in 1867. The establishment of the militia for the United Kingdom is returned as comprising 124,622 privates, but 26,202 were wanting to complete. The largeness of this last number is chiefly caused by the reduction made in 1861 iu the effective strength of all regiments whose establish ments exceed 600 privates. The Revolution, the American organ of Woman's Rights, notes the fact that the Congregational Church of Harlem, Rev. S. Bourne, pastor, on the report of the committee appointed a year ago, have recently so amended the standing rule of that church that women are now eligible as officers. The vote was unexpectedly large. it required a two-thirds vote, but it was four to one. The women of that congregation may now be pastor, deacons, trustees, as well as cltYOut members.

Another glorious success- seems to be the inevit able result of the "Selection Day." The attend ance of the public at the Crystpl Palace this afternoon seemed to us much la:ger than on Monday last., and thc excitement and e thusiasm greater. The principal singers elicited the loudest applause, and the chorus, by their mag nificent and combined singing, calla:] forth universal admiration and delight. Up to the time of our re port leaving the "Selection Day" ha 1 been a suc cession of vocal triumphs. The attendance, it was estimated, exceeded 25,000 persons. MARKETS-7 HIS D.IY. CORN.

Harford, of Westminster, celebrated the marriage of his friend Capt. Henry Carlton Ara mar. with Sarah Rosalie, widow of the late Walter Stanbrough, Esq. The bride was given away by Mr. Gustave Dore, also a friend of the bridegroom, why enjoys the reputation abroad of a keen amateur of li era ture and fine art. Another address from the Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland, prepare l at its half-yearly meeting, boasts of the large number of the nobility and gentry, and " resolute young men," who have lately joined the ranks of th 3 institution, and of the " noble exhibition of Protestant life and union" witnessed in many parts of the em pire. The address complains of the injustice with which the Orange Society has been treated by successive Governments, and the " perversion of the laws to the manifest injury of Protestants alone." During last year over half a million of money— £s4o,BB4 was transmitted to Ireland from America by emigrants to their friends—.£2o2,9l4 of the sum being in the form of prepaid passage orders. A letter from Warsaw, in the Posen Journal, says: —" The sudden disappearance of M. Kletchewsky, editor of the Sunday Courier, with his family, has caused some sensation here. The cause of his flight is singular. He had married a Russian lady belong. ing to the Greek Orthodok Church, and-the religious ceremony was performed according to the Catholic rite. By the le,..:islation of Russia such marriages should be solemnised at the Greek Church, under the penalty of banishment to Siberia. The police having heard of the affair opened an inquiry, and M. Kletchewsky, fearing the consequences of his infraction of the law, left the country with his household." RECREATION FOR THE MILLION.—A correspon dent writes to us:--There are appeals in the papers for aid to take out for a day such of the poor of our city as " have not seen a field for years." If distance prevents it, the longest day this year will fall on a Sunday (21st inst.) and an early start then would give them the whole coun try by suu-rise. The Coronation Day will also fall on a Sunday (28thinst.); many like to observe it, and observe it well they might by enjoyment of the cAintry. And if they wish to attend church or chapel on the way there is always a kindly welcome in the country„ Tbis want of recreation has a very depressing iufluence.and injures many a social movemnt in lown,'many seeming dead to everything but drink through it. ilad.
