COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Registrar Pepys.) IN RE EDMUND 11. YATES. This bankrupt, the well-known magazine writer, was described as of Teddington, a clerk in the General Post-office, and a " literary author," and to-day was appointed for the first meeting. The total debts are £6,917, and the list of creditors con tains well-known publishing names, including Tinsley, Catharine-street, Strand, £2,079 ; and Chapman and Hall, £3BO. Amongst the general creditors are Mr.Boucicault £76, Mr. Beverley £47 10s., Chappell and Co., £5l 12s. 31., and E. Levy £lOO, and many others. The bankrupt applied on his own petition, and a day was named for the next meeting. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. - THIS DAY. BOW-STREET. CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER. — Richard Vickers was placed at the bar charged with causing the death of Thomas Molloy. A coroner's inquest had been held on the deceased, and a verdict of man slaughter returned against the prisoner. William Thompson, of 30, Bedfordbury, said on the 'morning of the Bth_ Anthony and a boy named Patten were quarrelling about a dog and began fighting, when the latter called upon Molloy to assist him in punching Anthony. The prisoner was standing by, and as soon as be saw the two upon Anthony he joined in to help Anthony, and they all four closed together, prisoner taking Molloy. He saw Molloy strike Vickers, and the prisoner re turned the blow. Molloy fell to the ground as if overcome from exertion ; he was not knocked down, but he never got up again. Molloy was a smaller boy than the prisoner. Mr. T. B. Turner, house surgeon of Charing cross Hospital, said he had made a post-mortem examination, and found that death had been caused by paralysis of the heart caused by a shock to the nervous system. A blow in the stomach might be the proximate cause of such paralysis ; he found a bruise on that part of deceased's person, and it must have been a very share blow to have caused it. Other evidence having been given, the prisoner was fully committed for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A SYSTEMATIC ROBBERY.--Two women, named Maria Bishop and Annie Kent, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with the following robbery : Police -constables Carter and Chamberlayne, two plain clothes officers of the G Division, SAW the prisoners go up to the shop of Mr. Davis, linen draper, No. 72, Tottenham Court-road. Kent stood in front of the show board and lifted her dress, and then lowered it over some goods, and took up under her dress a large piece of Mohair, and walked away, joined by Bishop. The officers went after the prisoners, and ou Carter saying to Kent, " I think you have got something about you that don't belong to you," she replied with apparent surprise at being taxed with such a thing, " I can assure you I have not." Carter then told Kent that he was a police officer, and should take her into custody, and, after walking a short distance, she dropped from under her dress the piece of mohair. Cham berlayne then took the prisoners to the station. Frank Danvers, an assistant to Mr. Davis, iden tified the mohair as the property of his employer. Carter said that when the prisoners were searched at the station by the female searcher a pair of scissors was found upon one of them. Mrs. Charlotte Howe, warder at the House of Correction, Westminster, said that both prisoners had been convicted of felony. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoners for trial. THAMES. SHARP YOUNG MEN.—Two youths, named James Walker, who said ho was 25, and John Smith, who declared he had just reached his majority, and was entitled to money and houses, were brought before Mr. Benson, charged with stealing a copper boiler and a quantity of gas-pipe and fittings from a house in Brook-street, Ratcliffe. The prisoners, mere lads in appearance, were stopped a few mornings since in Copley-street, Stepney, by William Carter, No. 78 K, and Richard Talbot, 102 K, having in their pos session a copper and a quantity of gas p iping, and on being asked to account for their possession of the same were very impudent, and said the police constables had no right to stop them. Carter and Talbot said the hour of the morning was too early for them to be carrying such things honestly, and they were taken to the station-house. 'they then declared to the inspector that they were on their way to the London Docks to work, and picked up the things at the door of a house in Brook-street, Ratcliff. The property was now identified by Mr. Solomons, gentleman, from the neighbourhood of Portman-street, Marylebone, and who said his house, which was-unoccupied in Brook-street, had been broken into and the property stolen. The house was greatly damaged in tearing away the copper, gas piping, and fittings. The prisoners in defence said they were on their way to their daily employment in the dock when they picked up the copper and fittings at the door of the prosecutor's house. Mr. Benson—What business had you in Brook street? The Prisoners—Why it was the very direct way to the London dock. Mr. Benson—Very good ; but you were a mile to the north of the London dock when you were stopped by the constables with the property. The Prisoners—Yes, to be sure, that's quite right. We were looking for a station-house—a police station-house. Mr. Benson—You went close by the one in King David-lane, and passed by the one here on your way to Copley-srreet. The Prisoners—We don't know the situation of station-houses. We don't know where they are. Mr. Benson—Do you plead guilty or not guilty, or will you be tried by a jury ? The Prisoners—Tried by a jury, to be sure. We claim our rights both of us. Mr. Benson—You shall have them. You are both committed for trial. The Hon. John Kent, Receiver-General of New• foundland, had an interview with the Duke of Bucking ham and Chanties, at the Golpaisl-vface, yesterday. ?REFERENCE SHARES. Great Eastern, E.

He was the son of James Abercromby, the first Lord D aufertnline. Born in 1803, ho succeeded to the title in 1858. Most of his active life was spent in diplo matic service abroad. The course of exelnnge at New York on London for bills at 60 days' eight was on the last date about 11( . 1 per cent. &t this rate there is scarcely any profit on the importation of gold from United §tatm THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON ON POLITIGAZ ASSASSINATION, The Nord of Tuesday contains the following letter, dated Paris, julyl2 :—At Fontainebleau a f ew dayl the conversation turned upon the tragical end of Prince Michael of Servia, and the manifestoes of Felix Pyat inciting to the assassination of the Emperor. The fen,' was expressed lest such detestable examples and such odious excitations should occasion some fresh attempt against the head 'of the State. The Emperor held the contrary opinion ; and as every look turned towards him seemed to claim the secret of his confidence, he spoke in these terms, which we have been able to obtain, and which we endeavour to reproduce with the utmost possible exactness :—" In the position I occupy life has only one attraction, that of being useful to the prosperity and grandeur of France. As long as I live I shall pursue no other object, and Providence, which hitherto has visibly sustained me, will not abandon me. My fate, moreover, is in its hands. It will decide whether my life or my death can best serve the interests of the country. In presence of so many parties animated by rival ambitions and subversive passions, there is no security for France unless she remains closely united to my dynasty, which is the only symbol of order and progress. It might happen that a violent death, if such befel me, would contribute much more to the con solidation of my dynasty than the prolongation of my clays. Just see what happens : the man who instigates or who commits a political assassination, who makes him self at once judge and executioner, always produces a contrary effect to that lie wishes to attain ; it is the punishment of his crime, it is inevitable. What has just taken place in Servia is the evident proof of this. The conspirators hoped, by killing Prince Michael, to bring another dynasty into power ; they have strengthened, for a long period, the family of the Obrenovitch. Here, at home, if one of the many attempts against King Louis Philippe had succeeded there is every probability that the House of Orleans would still be reigning over France. If I fell under the assassin's blow to-morrow or to-day the people with one voice would acclaim my son ; and even if all the Imperial family disappeared, they would go forth, as in Servia, in search of some little nephew heir to my name, some Milano or other, to raise up anew the flag of the Empire, revenge the murder, and sanction once more this truth, that the parties which stain their hands in blood never profit by their crime. I can thus regard the future without fear. Whether I live or die, my life or my death will be equally useful to France, for the mission which has been imposed upon me will be accomplished either by me or mine.", These words (says the correspon pondent of the Nord, in conclusion) were uttered in the midst of a rather numerous circle.

THIS DAY. James Williamson, otherwise Cooke, of Cl aren don-street, Somers Town, and James Blake, Vere street, Islington, clerk, were placel at the bar on remand, before Mr. Vaughan, at Bow-street Police Court, charged by Mr. Williamson, chief inspector of the detective force, with treason felony, Mr. Poland appeared on the part of the Trea sury to prosecute, and Mr. M4rriman defended the prisoners. Mr. Poland said the most convenient course to pursue was to go as far as he could with the evi dence. Mr. Vaughan—What do you propose to show ? Mr. Poland—l shall call a witness who has known I the prisoner Blake for two years, and then you will say, sir, what weight you attach to the evidence. Corydon, the informer, was then called, and in continuation of his former evidence, said—Before Weydock and Cooke went to Drogheda, I bad a conversation with Cooke about a box. Weydock, Burke, and several other persons were present. The box contained copper mallets for breaking through powder magazines in Ireland. This occurred at blather's Hotel. Cooke said he got the things in America for the purpose I have already stated. Mr. Vaughan—Did he particularly mention any magazine ? Witness—Yes, the one in Phciaaix-park. In fact all the magazines in Ireland were to be forced. It would of course be dangerous to use" iron mallets. There was a conversation about the prospects of things in America. Weydock was present. After the prisoners had left Drogheda I gave in formation to the head constable at Liver pool with respect to Cooke and Weydock. They left Ireland on the 24th of November, 1866, on a Saturday night. I saw the box containing the mallets taken from Mather's Hotel to Christian street, Liverpool, where it was found by the polica. M'Dermott was the name of one of the men en gaged in moving the box. He had since been arrested in Liverpool. The box was removed before Cooke and Weydock left. I saw Al‘Derinott in custody at Liverpool. M'Dermott lived in the house in which the box was found. I did not see the prisoners after they left Drogheda until last Saturday, when they were in custody of the police. I know Cooke brought over £lOO from Ireland, which he said he brought from Col. Kelly to deliver to Duffy for Fenian purposes. I know Roberts, who was the president of the Fenian Brotherhood, that is of one portion. There had been a split amongst them. and O'Mahony was the president of the other. The latter was the Stephens' section. In Ireland there had been a discussion about a matter. Kelly belonged to a different section to Roberts. Mr 7 Merriman—l decline to cross-examine the witness at present. There is not yet a tittle of evi dence against Blake. Robert Gardner said— I am now sub-inspector of the Irish constabulary stationed at Drogheda. On the 25th of Nov., 1866, I received some informa tion from Dublin Castle, and also description of two men. In consequence of that I went with a party of police to the quay at Drogheda, and there waited the arrival of the steamer from Ireland. When the vessel arrived I watched the passengers leave, and two of them corresponded with the description so nearly that I arrested them. I found the prisoner Cooke, and his companion, secreted in the engine room, and took them into custody. Cooke gave the name of APCook, the other that of Wey dock. I handcuffed them, and took them to Drogheda gaol. A number of greenbacks were found on Cooke. Mr. Poland—Did you not find some keys? Witness--Yes. Mr. Poland—That may turn out to be of import ance, as one of them may or may not open a box. Witness—The prisoners were very much cheered as they went to the gaol. Patrick Mullany, another informer, said—l was formerly a member of the Fenian Brotherhood. I was a centre in London. I know the prisoner Cooke well. I first saw him in May, 1867, in Kavanagh's public-house, Pollen-street, Regent street. He was introduced to me by a Fenian leader named Flood. Flood told the prisoner Cooke I was a London centre, and that I could render him essential service. He told me Cooke was an agent for Roberts, that he had come over here to re-organize, and that he was head centre of Dublin. Morris Donoghue was in company with Cooke. We had a conversation together. Cooke said he was appointed to re-organize, in order that the next rising might not prove a failure. The American officers were the wrong men, and that he (Cooke) came directly from Roberts to do so. Cooke wanted to know where Kelly was, in order that he might inform him of his appointment. Cooke said he had sufficient money for the purpose of reorganisation, and that he had got it from Roberts. He asked me to give the men of my circle over to the Roberts' party, but I refused. I said Kelly was the only honest man amongst the lot, which he was. I knew that there was a split in the organisation. I be longed to the Kelly party, and the prisoner to the Roberts' division. The dispute went to such a length that after leaving the public-house Cooke knocked me down in the street because I would not give my men over to him. I got up very angry, and was about to give him into custody, when Donoghue said in the presence of the prisoner, "Don't give Cooke into custody, as it will be dan gerous to the organisation." Mr. Merriman—l object to that going ou the deposition. It is merely hearsay. Mr. Vaughan—l think it material ;so it must be taken. Witness continued—l saw Cooke the next day at Kavanagh's public-house, and made it up with him. After that I was in the habit of seeing Cooke from time to time. He told me his mission here. He said he was appointed by Roberts to effect a reorganisation. I never knew Cooke by any other name. I knew the other prisoner well—his name is John Blake. I first saw him two or three years ago. 1 knew him as a clerk. Mr. Poland—Did you know the prisoner as a Fenian ? Witness—l have known him to be a Fenian, but never mixed up in any of the arrangements. I always looked upon him as a respectable young man. He did not live by it as the other prisoner did. Mr. Merriman protested against such questions. Witness continued—l have seen Cooke in the company of Colonel Richard Burke, who was con victed at the Old Bailey. Cooke and Burke began to talk about money matters. Burke accused Cooke of stealing £lOO, which he (Cooke) was intrusted to pay the men in Dublin. Cooke said they were all in it for themselves, and he might as well have the money as anybody else. Blake and there when this this conversation occurred. I did not know where Blake lived, but I have frequently met him at Kavanagh's. Whenever I have met there we generally discussed the prospects of Fenian organisation. I knew Blake belonged to the Roberts' party. I first met Cooke, in May, 1867, at Kavanagh's. Col. Dunn was present on that oc casion. Kavanagh's house was the head-quarters of Feniauism. Have seen Blake there ; never bad any particular conversation with Blake, but I knew he was a centre belonging to the Roberts' party. I was attached to the Kelly party, so we were much in opposition. The last time I saw Blake was in August, 1867. I was at a meeting in Seven Dials in 1865 ; Blake was there. I heard at that meeting a talk about collecting arms and ammunition, and those who did so were to go to Ireland. Mr. Vaughan—How many were present at that meeting? Witness—l should think about ten persons. Witness continued—A man named English was there ; be was a centre, and he invited me. There never was any cccasion for the meeting to be held with closed doors. Any one could comae into the room whilst we were arranging our afflirs— they would not know what was going on - that yaw the Ovauty of 04 proanizAtiO, J3usiness dine. TIEI EDITION SUN OFFICE, 7 O'CLOCK. NOTICE. The Third Edition of " The Sun" of last Evening, con taining the Latest Betting and Races at Pontefract and Reading, was published in time for delivery in town at 7.30 p.m. ~ ~~ think Blake said to me Mrs. Ju. ti CO• had car r i e d things (arms and ammunition). Mr. Merriman said he would ret nerve the cross examination of the witness, ag ft as regard e d Cooke, •but he would ask watt c luestions W i t h respect to Blake. In answer to questions from tha i le arned gentle man, Muilany said the meeting at Sevett Phis was a very trivial matter. I was there by inv. 'tation ' an d John Blake, the prisoner, way; also presen t. Ihav© seen Blake at Kavanagh's ' aad the reason, I believe, that led him there was th at be was courting one of Kavanagh's daughters. (liaugitter.) We used to have music at our meetings in Kavanagh's. I never knew Blake to be a Fenian. He had not the pluck to be one. (Laughter.) Mr Merriman—l shall not as.k you another ques tion, Mr. Mullany. Mr. Vaughan—You have said that Blake was a centre? Mullany—Yes ; he had told me so, but I also knew he was one, but he never took any active part in the Fenian cause like Cooke ; he was a leading man. Elizabeth Valiance, of 47, Clarendon-street, Somers town, said—l know Cooke. He resided in my house. He has been with me two or three months. I knew him by the name of Johnson. The police have searched his rooms. I have seen the other prisoner, Blake, who called upon Mr. Johnson (Cooke). I don't know what Johnson used to do for a living. When he first came to us he said he was a traveller. Win Valiance—l believe the shorter prisoner of the two is the person whom Johnson gave as his reference. I know the direction given was 42, Noel-street, Islington. Blakegave Johnson (Cooke) a very excellent character. Mathilda Deck, a lodger in the house of Mr. Vallance, identified Blake as a visitor to Mr and Mrs Johnson. Inspector Clarke—Since the last examination, I have sorted and counted the ammunition found at Cooke's lodgings. I found that it consists of 160 rifle bill cartridges, Lancaster pattern, two ball cartridges for a breech-loader, 120 pistol bullets, ten blank cartridges, and two bullet moulds. Both prisoners were again remanded, bail being refused for Bloke. liIPERIAL PARLIAMENf HOUSE OF COMNIONS.—Tars DAY. The SPEAKER took the chair at half-pastl2 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS.

THE BRISTOL ELECTION COMMITTEE. Mr. Sergant GASELEE gave notice that on going into ; committee of supply he should move that the Attorney- General bo instructed to turn his attention to the Bristol Election Committee, and to prosecute those persons who in his judgment had been guilty of corrupt practices, bribery, or personation, or who had aided and abbetted others m such practices. THE ROYAL IRISH INSTITUTE. Sir P. O'BRIEN asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if the unanimous resolution of the Corporation of Dublin in favour of the purchase of the site of the Exhibition Palace for the Royal Irish Institute bad been received, and whether the Government intended to accede to its prayer. 'I, Mr. G. HARDY said the resolution had been received and duo attention had been given to it, but there was a commission sitting upon the subject., and until it had re ported he could give no more explicit information with ,` regard to the matter. TRACTION LOCOMOTIVE ENGINES IN SCOTLAND. Mr. FORDYCE asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether his attention had been called to the want of due control over traction locomotive en gines in Scotland; and, if so, whether he would introduce any measure on the subject this session. Mr. G. HARDY said his attention had been called to the subject, but he was not prepared this year to introduce a bill to alter the existing law, which was the same in Eng land and Scotland. INVESTMENT OF TRUST FUNDS SUPPLEMEN TAL BILL. Mr. AYRTON moved that the house go into committee on this bill. Mr. Sergeant GASELEE moved an amendment, that the house go into committee on the bill that day six months. After some discussion the house divided, when there appeared— For going into committee l6 Against it ..... 33 Majority ___ —l7 SALE OF POISONS ACT AMENDMENT BILL. The house then went into committee on this bill, the object of which was to impose such restrictions on the sale of poisons or noxious drugs as to render their possession more difficult than at present to unskilful persons. Various amendments were made with respect to manufactures, and provision was made that in all cases that when any poison was sold by a properly qualified chemist or druggist an ontry should ba i t:nada of the same in the book, which the purchaser should be called upon to sign. It was also provided that none but qualified persons should be allowed to sell or dispense poisons, and that in all cases the word " poison" should be distinctly printed and affixed to it when sold. ASSESSMENT OF MINES. The house then went into committee on this bill. Mr. DENMAN thought the bill would bo found un workable, and therefore it was useless to proceed with it. ' Mr. HARDY was of the same opinion. He thought that the promoters of the bill ought to rest satisfied at present in having obtained the assent of the house to the principle that all mines should be rated to the poor. The 'best course to adopt would be to withdraw the bill for the r present, and introduce a more efficient bill next session. The bill was then withdrawn. PUBLIC SCHOOLS BILL. 4 This bill was road a third timo and passed. SIR R. NAPIER'S ANNUITY BILL. .ctt The house then went into committee on this bill. On the first clause being proposed, which gives an an nuity to Sir R. Napier and his next male issue of £2,000, , Sergeant GASELEE said that he should have preferred that a lump sum of £50,000 ba given to General Napier, instead of an annuity. He did not, how ever, wish to raise any objection to the bill, as it was now too late to do that, but had the course he adopted been taken he thought it would have been much better than giving an annuity. The bill then passed through committee, and the house adjourned. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE—This Day. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) READING RACES—Tins DAY. STAND PLATE.

The weather continues most favourable for the harvest, which has now commenced in the Southern localities. The wheat trade remains without change. From the country markets the reports speak as heretofore of dull trade and drooping prices. There are ono or two excep tional cases where prices are higher, but not in important markets. From the Continent quotations come high. At Mark-lane this morning the attendance was small. The few arrivals of English wheat met only a limited inquity at Monday's decline. The fresh receipts of foreign wheat were only moderate, and sales were not pressed at any further decline. Tho trade, however, wa s very dull. In floating cargoes o f wheat scarcel y an y thin g ha s been done since Monday . Beans in short supply, and the turn dearer. Peas also are turning against buyers. heavy arrivals of oats have rendered buyers more cau tious, and given prices the turn against sellers. Flour remains nominally unaltered.
