AN ERRAND BOY CHARGED 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 had taken the prisoner into his employment about two months back, chiefly from motives of charity. Lately, however, ho had lost money several times, and on Mon lay his purse, con taining either £l9 10s. or £2O, was taken from the mantelpiece in the back parlour. Yesterday (Tuesday) h 3 left a marked half-crown in his bed room. In the course of the day it was removed and concealed under the bed, and i❑ the evening it disappeared al'ogether. Sergeant Kerley, of the F division, who had been instiuetcd in the case, followed the prisoner when he left work at night, brought him back to hij master's shop, and found the marked half-crown upon him. He at first said he had found it on the stain:me 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. MR. J. IS. MILL, M.P., ON LODGER LAW. A body of lodgers connected with the 3t. Anne's Elec toral Association forwarded to the members for West minster the following resolutiOii 4 :—" 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 raid 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 fos 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.

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. The annual report of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners for Ireland has been presented to Parliament. It states that the commissioners appropriated £51,928 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 shews that, independently of receipts in respect of capital, the commissioners received in the year, in respect of income, £118,786 from public sources, chiefly from see estates and suspended dignities and benefices, 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' anti 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 Ballymurren, 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 for whose cure they had to provide, MR. GLADSTONE'S ELECTION. "g It is ono of the drawbacks of our parliamentary system, that the political chiefs, the men whose every wordis weighted with the heaviest responsibility, and who can say nothing which is not immediately invested in popular opinion both at home and abroad with a serious significance, have to descend into the electioneering arena like the com monest of their followers, and aro there liable to Le subjected to influences hardly compatible with the reticence and independence which on every ground should be the privilege of their peculiar position. The 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 expression 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 a s little as he pleased. Lord Palmerston's election for Tiverton used never to be 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 we all know, has never - had any reason to be 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 one of which would be only too proud to return Mr. Gladstone if be 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 business ; and it is quite under stocd that his seat is at Mr. Gladstone's dis posal. In the City the Liberal leader would bo relieved ft om 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 bo played on them by excited or fool ish friends and by wily foes, to see how important it is that he should be enabled to hold himself as far aloof as possible from the gusty influences of a local contest.—Pall- Mall Gazette. 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 was 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 Itev. 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-ground, 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 him not to read the service over any corpse interred in a grave dug by the burial board sexton. He 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 which to lower 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 ink 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 vailed in the village, and only the presence of a number of police appeared to prevent the indignant parishioners verba4expressi2n ctf their feelings, 7 SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BRO3TLEY SUMMER MEETING.-TUESDAY. The rain that has recently fallen has unfortunately been insufficient to have any effect on the running ground at Bromley, which was terribly hard. Otherwise the meeting took place under favourable auspices. A commodious and handsome new stand has been erected close by the grand stand, and both edifices were well attended. For the first time at Bromley the gate-money system was done away with—a step in the right direction on the part of the man agement. There were six events set down on the card, the fields in each instance being small, and the sport pre senting no features calling for comment.

UNLICENSED CABDRIVERS AND TIIE 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 Phoenix-street. He directed the prisoner, and noticing that be was drunk followel him to Phoenix-street, where the cab stopped and a lady and gentleman got out. lie then asked the prisoner to get down, and he refused at first to do so, but sub gequently did ; and as he found the prisoner to be very drunk ho took him to the station, where it was found that although he was wearing a badge strap be had no badge, and he admitted that he had not got a license. The prisoner said that be 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 he was charged into force. Every other day a case came before him where a man was driving a cab without a license, and not only that, but was drunk at the time. The fine for the offence went up to £5, and for the protection of the public he would begin to enforce the law, by fining the p r i soner 405., or a month. WESTMINSTER. EXT II A ORDINAR 13R UTALITY. —John Mark Ed wards, a man about 45 years of age, was charged with extraordinary brutality to his wife, a respect able-looking woman, much his senior, of most ema ciated frame, and apparently far advanced in con sumption. _ _ Complainant said that he had been slowly mur dering her by his ill-treatment for months. He was an idle person, whom she had supported by her in dustry for years. Things went on while she could work and lend him money, but when she fell ill they changed. He pushed her about, mad e h er 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. IVitnesses proved that during the winter she gave him his breakfast in bed, and took him a newspaper to read while he ate it. _ . Selfe—Yours is one of the cases which ex actly furnish an argument in favour of married women having control over their 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. THAMES. 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. He 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 bad obtained the tin of provisions honestly you wouldj 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, nas 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 an 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." One 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 backwards, 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 tho ship was paid off on Monday, and all the men had gone away or were distributed about the Sailors' Home or the lodging-houses. Stubbings, 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 he knew of the affair was that the com plainant had two black eyes, and was off duty. Mr. Benson 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. He remanded the prisoner.

Mr. Heathcote gave quite enough for Slowman, who, although a good-lookingcolt, is rather uncertain, having frequently deceived his late owner. Brown Bread, who showed, the mark of the irons on his fore logs end fetloeks, 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. Eyke at 300 guineas. The yearlings of Mr. Morris, four in number, were not sold. They were bread near 1.150t0n, 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.

ARKLOW, IRELAWD, Aug. 10. Dr. llalpin now reports that about twelve hours after the crew had been rescued from the timber laden ship Empire Queen, which had sunk on Arklow 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 Leiuster was afterwards engaged, she going astern and steering, and when the water logged vessel arrived off Daltrey Island the steam tugs came out and towed her into harbour. The New Free Press of Vienna gives the sub joinal det.iils respecting the sad deaths of Prince Gagarin and his son, the latter seventeen years of age :—" The father and S3ll, 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. llirsch'ell, on his coming to her aid: " All nay fortune shall be yours if you save my husband and sou I' 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 removed " into hands the safest and best is all ways," which Mrs. Thomas will " never betray." In au extraordinary letter from this lady, which 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 1416 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 be " 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. - 9 __A :a p d.' EDITION. SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLock. NOTICE.
