The return of the Bank of England reflects the in active condition of the money markets. The increase in the bullion, though not important, exceeds the foreign arrivals sent in during the week, thus showing that the influx of gold from the country has not yet teased. The deposits of both the public and the go vernment are larger, while the circulation has fallen off. The discount business at the Bank was below the securities, running off to the extent of £441,916.

CART RUBBERY.—John Jones, described as " a metal worker, no home," was charged before Mr. Knox with stealing a parcel containing two silk dresses, of the value of £9, the property of Messrs. Marshall and Snelgrove, silk mercers, Oxford street. Police constable Elwarl Fisher, 32 E, said that shortly before five o'clock the previous afternoon he was on duty at the Regent-circus, when seeing the prisoner run sharply past him . with a parcel in his arms, and suspecting something wrong he followed him. After the prisoner had turned a few yards into Regent-str:et, a gentleman came up and told him that the prisoner had stolen a parcel from a carrier's cart in Cavendish-square, and upon this he increased his pace, and when within a few yards of the prisoner he dropped the parcel, which he (the constable) picked up. Having renewel his pursuit t .e prisoner was afterwards stopped, and he then took him to the station, and on the waj there he said that he had taken the parcel from a cart, being very hard up. Lawrence Jones, in the employ of Messrs. Mar shall and Snelgrove, said he gave the parcel yester day afternoon to a Mitcham carrier, who put it into his cart, the cart being at the door in Oxford street. Mr. David Evans, also in the employ of Messrs. Marshall and Snelgrove, said the parcel contained two silk dresses of the value of £9. Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner, that it might be ascertained whether he was known. A BRUTAL FELLOW.—James Collis, a rough fellow, who hangs about the Haymarket for the purpose of opening cab doors, and begging, was charged before Knox with begging and assaulting Sergeant Hogen, 3 C R, and John Higgins, car riage attendant, No. 26. Sergeant Hogen saw the prisoner begging, and took him into custody, when he behaved in a violent manner, and threw the sergeant three times, and on Higgins going to the sergeant's assistance the pri soner kicked him so violently on the leg that, as Higgins informed the magistrate, he believed he would suffer for years through it. Mr. Knox committed the prisoner for three months with hard labour. CHARGE OF CRUELTY TO A llORSE.—William Harris, a young man in the employ of it cooper in Backchurch-lane, Whitechapel, appeared before Mr. Knox to answer an adjourned complaint of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals of cruelty to a horse. Mr. Liudall White, brewer, of No. 13, North street, Sloane-street, deposed to seeing the defen dant on the eveqing of the 14th with two others in a cart in Piccadilly, the cart beitig laden , with empty casks. The defendant was thrashing one of the horses, which appeared quite exhausted. A man drove up in a van and offered to take off some of the load, but the defendant refused the offer. George Young, officer of the society, said that he saw the defendant su'isequently to the 14th, and on asking hint if ho was driving the horse o❑ the evening in question he said he wa4, and that it had since diel On the case coming on again the defendant's master attended and gave the defendant a good character for i i kindness, and said that he had no doubt the reason why the horse could not get along was that it had suffered from an internal disease, and his veterinary surgeon had informed him that he found such appearances, on opening the horse, as to lead him to believe that the horse had had a fresh attack of the disease. In answer to Mr. Knox, Mr. Cherry, the Go vernment veterinary surgeon, said that what had been stated was quite probable, and upon this Mr. Knox said that be thought the payment of costs 12s. 6d.—by the defendant would be sufficient. The costs were paid. THAMES. SINGULAR APPLICATION.—THE CJ.NJUROR AND HIS COUNTERFEIT.—Mr. Philip Rubini, better known as Signor Rubini, the celebrated conjuror, came before Mr. Paget, and complained that a man named Charles Spencer Crowder had assumed his name, and had been exhibiting himself at tho Garrick Theatre, in Leman-street, Whitechapel, as Signor Rubini. "It was not likely," said the ap plicant, " that with my reputation I should appear before a Garrick Theatre audience. I would rather be whipped first." He then put in one of the Gar rick Theatre bills, in which it was stated that for a limited number of nights Mr. and MN. Rubiui, of the Egyptian and St. James's Halls, will make their first appearance and perfDrm their most marvellous feat of beheading a lady, performed by Rubiui 150 nights. Rubini will vary his entertainment each evening." Crowder had copied the style of his (Signor Rubini's) announcements. He had just terminated a brilliant London season of 150 nights, and the " beheading of a lady" was one of his principal feats. In answer to Mr. Paget, Signor Rubini said he had been present at the performance of his own counter feit, and he had written to him and requested him to discontinue the use of the name of Rubini. He had also issued a placard, of which the following is a copy " Rubini.—Public Notice.—Rubini, the great con juror, of the Egyptian and St. James's Halls, will not appear at the Garrick Theatre, I'Vhitechapel, and also begs to state that Mr. C. Crowder has used his name to deceive the public, at the same time injuring his reputation by allowing a person named 011iver, late ticket-taker at the Grecian Theatre, to carry out his imposition. Public, don't be deceived, you will not see the original Rubini. There is but one Rubini." Mr. Paget—ls the name of the person of whom you complain Rubini or 011iver ? Mr. Rubini—olliver, sir ? There is but one Rubini. lam that gentleman. Mr. Paget—You may have a summons against Charles Spencer Crowder for fraudulently affixing or causing to be affixed to a certain printing a cet tain name, to wit, the name of Rubini. The summons was then made out, and Stubbings, an officer of the court, was directed to serve it o❑ Crowder without delay. UNIVERSITY OF EDINB URGII. —At a meeting of the majority of the curators it has been agreed, though not, of course, legally or irrevocably, to appoint Professor Sir James Y. Simpson to the office of Principal of Edinburgh University. " This election," adds the Medical„ Times, "may be, therefore, looked upon as tolerably certain, although the appointment cannot be legally made until the meeting of the curators, which will be held in a few days. tritE - *SUN, - LONDON, • FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 1?, 'POS. LAW IN TELLIGE NC E.—This Day. COURT 01? DIVORCE. (Before the Right lion. Sir J. P. Wine.) SLEIGH V. SLEIGH AND MINISTER. This was a suit instituted by the petitioner to obtain a dissolution of marriage on the ground of his wife's adultery with the co-respondent. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine and Dr. Tristram ap peared for the petitioner. The facts of this case were these appeare: that the petitioner, a barrister, and the son of Mr. Campbell Sleigh, when quite a young man, met the respondent in a railway carriage, she being about ten years older than he was. They only knew one another about, three or four days when they were married„ The lady was a Miss .Pice, and there was no doubt from what had preceded the marriage that it was not likely to be a happy one. From what Mr. Sleigh hitnielf 'saw In bsleved that hi: wife had been guilty of adultery, and this suit was instituted. Annie Adams said that before the marriage Mrs. sb-igh lived at her house in Bayswater, an I was ;. Miss Price. The witness w tis present at the in tr riage, which took hl me at All S rails, Kensington. They stayed at her house for so►ue days afterwards. A detective officer, named Lockyer, who was em ployed to watch the parties, stated that he had sees Mrs. Sleigh meet the respondent at the railway sta tions in various parts of London. She was pointed out to him by various parties. Ile traced the re spondent and co-respondent to Maidenhead, where. they stayed together as man and wife. lie saw them iu a bedroom together, and recognised them both. Ile believed that the co-respondent was a tailor working for his father. Other evidence was aiduced, which showed that the parties mentioned had been intimate, and the Court then observed that it considered the alultery proved, and granted a decree nisi, the question of costs being reserved. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.---(This Day.) OLD COUNT. (Before Mr. Paron Piggott.) THE LEEDS BANK FORGERIES. The trial of Mr. Thomas E Igeley, lately a mer chant in the city of London, for an indictment of conspiracy wi.h others to defraud the Leed3 bank ing Company to the amount of £lOB,OOO, was re sumed this morning. Mr. George Chandler, clerk to Messrs. Turquand, Young, and Co., the official liquidators of the Leeds Bank, was examined. He said he had super intended the examination of the books of the de fendant, and had made certain ace unts in respect thereof. He had also gone through the transactions relating to the Maydenpeck Forest Company, which transaction was divisible into three &asses, namely —class 1 consisted of bills purporting to be drawn for that company, and discounted with the Leeds Banking Company, to the amount of £66,783 ; and the other two classes showed transactions that brought up the amount of the transactions with the bank to the sum of ZlOB,OOO. NEW COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) CHARGE OF BURGLARY. Five boys, named Blowers, Moss, Taylor, Smith, and Wardell, were indicted with burglarly breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Mr. George Lambert. From the evidence it appeared that the premises were secured safely over night, and next morning several articles of wearing apparel were found to have been stolen. The prisoners were afterwards discovered with a portion of the stolen gaols upon them. The jury found Smith, Moss, and Wardell guilty, and Taylor and Blowers not guilty. Previous convictions were prov ed against the three prisoners found guilty. Mr. Straight said that some burglaries had been committed in the neighbourhood of Clapham, and since the apprehension of the prisoners they had altogether ceased. Various attempts to enter houses hal also been made, but the noise made by the per sons trying to effect an entrance had aiuu.sed the inmates, and thus the intentions of the thieves were frustrated. The Common-Sergeant told the prisoners they had rendered themselves liable to a sentence of seven years' penal servitude, but, in order to give them another chance, and also the opportulity of reforming, he should pass upon them a sentence of 18 months' imprisonment. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF COMMONS-LAST EVENING. REGISTRATION (1868) BILL. Mr. G. HARDY then rose to move for leave to bring in a bill to amend the law of registration so far as related to the year 1868. He said the bill was to facilitate the regis tration that would take place in the present year, in order that the dissolution of Parliament might take place as speedily as possible. Ho proposed to give, as he thought, ample time to the voters to register their claims, and after that had been done, he proposed by the bill to commence lie revision of both boroughs and counties on the 14th of ieptember, and to give additional assistance three revising barristers would be a2peintei instead of two, and he thought that it would be quite possible 7 or 8 days after the completion of the lists to issue new writs. He proposed to shorten the time set forth in the proclamation from 35 days to 2 i days, and ste, making provision for ;v. ry matter of necessity, it appeared to be quite possible for the new Parli:),:u3nt to assemble by the Bth or 9th of December. (Oh, oh.) Ant supp )sieg the swearing ia of the members to be - completed ia a week, he thought the new Parliament would be ahe to proceed with public business on the 11th of December. (hear, hear, and laughter.) It would be of the utmost importance that the 'euso of the house should be taken upon certain, tuestions of the greatest interest, and whatever might be the result of that discussion, it was abselute:y necessary tor the Ministry to . have six or seven weeks after that and previous to the usual time at which Parliament generally commenced to consider what was to be done—(hear, hear) —when the result of the deliberations of the house was known. He did not wish to hurry the bill through so as to appear unseemly, but he did hope that as it was de sirable that the dissolution should take place at the earliest possible moment, no' unnecessary delay would be desired by either side of the house. Ile concluded by moving for leave to introduce the bill. Mr. GL ADSTONE generally approved of the provisions of the bill. Col. FRENCII asked how the Irish elections were to be dealt with ? The Earl of MAYO said he had male the 'nest minute inquiries on the subj3ct, and such arrangements had been in de which would secure the Irish elections to be taken concurrent with those in Enghail. (Rear, hear.) Leave was then given, the bill was brought in, read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on Mon day next. BOUNDARY BILL. Tho houso then wont into committee on this bill. Mr. lIIBBELLT moved an amendment, in clause 4, the object of which was to alter the list of old boroughs specified in the first schedule, and that a new list of boroughs should be substituted. Mr. ADDERLEY opposed the amendment, because it was a totally different way of dealing with towns and boroughs as recommended by the Commissiouers. The adoption of such a preposition as that now be fore the house seemed to him to be closely ad vancing to the proposition of electoral districts, because it proposed to represent numbers instead of a locality. The next proposition before this house was to give throe members to Birmingham on the ground of increased area, and yet that area was not to be increased. (Laud or:es of " No, no," from the Oprosition.) They might say no, no, but it was a positive fact that such was the effect of the proposal. The declaration of the honourable member for Birmingham a short time ago enunciated the noblest principles, but whoa they were practically applied to his own particular case his admiration of the plan altogether ceased. That which he (Ur. Bright) thought so admirable, when he discovered it was not advantageous t.) his own personal interests he at once condemned, and that showed most unmistakeably that his principles and practices were totally distinct. The great effort now was to retain one half of the borough of Birmingham for representation, and with the other half it was proposed to swamp the two adjoining counties of Worcestershire and Warwickshire. Mr. BRIGHT protested that it made no difference to him whether the constituency of Birmingham were doubled ; his sole object in resisting this increase was the interest of the town. He retorted on Mr. Adderley that he was actuated by no other desire but to weaken the Liberal party in East Worcestershire and North War wickshire, and it was part of a policy borrowed by Mr. Disraeli from Lord Bolingbroke to give the landed inte rest an unassailable power in Parliament, Which, if it were successful, must lead to electoral districts. To draw a rural districts would ulti mately lilydatetmage betweenthurban e Conservatives and most of all ; but he pre dicted that no ingenuity would be able to extract a party advantage from this bill. Mr. R. GURNEY, regretting that a party tone had been explained the principles acted, and first he de fendedoinnt r w o h du i etchhe the instruction ihnes into tr th t the ng Commissioners iven had discussion, tot Commissioners by Par liament on the faith of which the Reform Act had been ptsse I. Its principle was that in future the members for great towns should really represent them, and not parts only, and he insisted that the principle of making munici pal and Parliamentary boupdaries conterminous had never been acted on, either by the Crown or Parliament. Ee denied, too, that the wishes of the inhabitants had been disregarded, but objections founded on a mere dislike of being subjected to municipal taxation were not worthy of consideration. To the argument founded on the comparative numbers of tewas and counties he replied that county members represented boroughs as well, for out of the 6,000 electors of North Warwickshire at least one quarter had their qualifications in Birmingham, and the proportion would be greatly in creased by the Reform Act. Admitting that it would be undesirable to draw a strict line between urban and rural voters, he maintained that the bill showed how impartially the commissioners had endeavoured to maintain a duo balance of both. Mr. 11. A. BRUCE spoke on behalf of the committee, and, refusing to shelter himself unddr the plea that the difference between the two authorities was owing to the variance in their instructions, boldly attacked the Com missioners' report, and pointed out various instances in which he asserted they had gone on an entirely wrong principle. Mr. Newdegato and Mr. B. Davenport supported the enlargement of the boundaries of Birmingham. Mr. A. Peel pleaded for the amalgamation of Leamington with Warwick, and Sir H. Williamsoa complained of the re- c mmeudations of tho Commilsioaers in regard to North and South Shields. Mr. B. OSBORNE crltic:zed the report of the Commis sioners in his usual pungent vein, protesting against the fulsome flattery which had beep addressed to them, and pointing out numerous blunders they had made. Tho whole question of boundaries, he predicted, would be overhauled by the new Parliament. Some stringent re marks which he made on what he described as the gross anomaly of East Retford drew from ono of its members, Lord Galway, tho sharp retort that if ho were to kayo an other colleague, be hoped he would not be a " buffoon." On a division Mr. Ribbon's amendment was carried by 184 to 148. Attempts were made to apply the recommendations of the commissioners to the cases of Liverpool, Warwick, an 1 Wigan, but they were all defeated, th 3 last oa a divi sion by 131 to 91; and it was remarked that in neither of these divisions did the usual Government officials act as tellers. The clause as amended by Mr. Hibbert was agreed to after a warm protest from Mr. Powell against the "par tisan" motives which had guided the decision of the Boun dary question. The success of Mr. Hibbert's amendment secured the passage of the remainder of the bill. The other clauses were rapidly agreed.to ; and though some hours were spent in adjusting the schedules to the amendment, almost no controversy arose. The report was fixed for Monday, and IL - . Disraeli gave notice he would then bring up a clause relating to compound householders. Some time was after wards devoted to giving the finishing touches to the de tails of the Scotch Reform Bill. A number of verbal amendments were made, but none of any great moment, likely t o g i ve r i se to a stormy uedcwyhocate and the Scotch Liberal qconsttrioovnerosfytashe toG ltahse -evdexed question the t t gins h co o eewnm u g ebß h eb eor a usw o de n atier e ni ro ts time hisTese eaLe t t mo h e r e edrd m e An claims of Sutlaerlandshire to a whole seat, and actually moved the suspension of the representation during the pleasure of Parliament, b ut di d not persevere to a division.

GRAND FULL REHEARSAL THIS AFTERNOON. The full rehearsal of the principal pieces and choruses to be performed during the approaching great Handel Festival took place this afternoon, and drew one of the most remarkable audiences it has ever been our good fortune to witness within the great glass palace of the people at Sydenham. The attendance differed altogether from that of popular days, when the millions are invited, and the number of persons present is represented by tens and twenties of thousands; yet, as many persons assembled this afternoon of the higher and edu cated class as ever yet filled the centre transept, the space boyond it on either side, the galleries, and, in fact, the entire Palace. The company was re markable for the attendance of so many ladies, and the elegance of their costumes gave such bril liancy and animation to the scene as to render it a sight of itself. The immense orchestra was filled by chorus and band, and altogether the interior of the Palace presented a scene of extraordinary gran deur. The artistes taking part in the " rehearsal" consisted of Mdlle. C. Nillson, Mdlle. Titiens, Madame L. Sherrington, Mr. Sims Reeves, Mr. Sautley, Mr. Cumming, and a number of others. The programme consisted of a selection from the concerts set down for the three days of the festival, and embraced nearly the whole of the pieces that have become world re nowned. The first of the choruses " rehearsed" was " And the glory" and " Hallelujah" from the "Messiah." To convey an adequate.ides of the performance of the latter would be quite impossible; it was one of the most extraordinary massing to gether of sound that has ever. yet taken place in the world, and to endeavour to give even a faint impression of the enthusiasm and excitement its performance elicited in a hasty notice like the present would be simply and entirely impossible. We can only say that the majestic words and the grand music were given in a manner that created unusual wonder and astonishment. Madame L. Sherrington sang the lovely soprano air from "Saul," "An infant raised," in the most finished, yet true, Handelian style. Mr. Santley then made his appearance, and, having received a hearty wel come, he sang a recitative, " Io tremente," from Handel's Italian oratorio entitled " La Resurrection," superbly. But one of the gems of the afternoon was Mdlle. Christine Nillsou's rendering of the air, " Wise men Flattering." Words can but faintly express the deep feeling and pathos this accom plished artiste threw into the air ; every note she sang was Handel's, and the applause at its conclu sion was tremendous. After the great triumph of Mdlle. Nillson came forward the great and general favourite, Mr. Sims Reeves, and sang " Deeper and deeper . still " and " Waft her, Angels," from " Jephthah," in his own incomparable style. The great tenor was in capital voice, and his extraordinary organ made itself heard throughout the entire audience. It is needless to say one word in praise of the execution of these two lovely compositions by Mr. Sims Reeves ; he sings them irreproachably, and every critic has said so a dozen times over and over again. The next selection for the chorus was, " He saw the lovely youth," from the same oratorio, and it was executed in magnificent style. To test the capacity and completeness of the instrumentalists the " Occasional" overture was performed, and a finer performance it would be quite impassible to obtain. "No love, that everlasting boy," from Seinele, was beautifully sung by Mr. Cumming, previous to which the splendid chorus "May no rash intruder" was in ignifieently given. The great and remarkable piece of the afternoon was the duet, " Ohl lovely peace," by AI tdame Titiens and Diddle. Christine Nilsson. It was one of the most extraordinary exhibitions of vocal display, and the immense au Hence, ladies in cluded, applauded to the very echo. The " re hearsal," we may say, was perfectly satisfac tory in all respects ; and t.) those who intend visiting the Palace during the festival we can pro mise a performance such as has never yet taken place in any part of the world, and one which will remain fresh in the recollection for years to come, and which will always be referred to as one of the red letter days of life. The entire arrangements for the convenience of the vast assembly were perfect ; and Mr. Rowley, the general manager, Mr. G. Grove, the secretary, and their efficient staff, way rest perfectly satisfied that the various important matters for which they have to provide will, during the festival, work ad mirably. _ _ _ Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess Chriitian occupied one of the private boxes on the occasion. THE ASSASSINATION OF PRINCE MICHAEL. [REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.] BELGRADE, June 12. The assassins of Prince Michael are in custody, and have already been subjected to examination. Several other arrests have taken place, the country people having brought in suspicious individuals. Public tranquillity has nowhere been disturbed. The representatives of foreign powers have had frequent conferences with the Provisional Go vernment. The body of Prince Michael, terribly mutilated' will be embalmed to-day, and it is thought pro bable the funeral will take place the day after to morrow. THE BOMBAY (HEAVY) MAIL.

The Thames Embankment (Chelsea) Bill and the Metropolitan Tramway Bill wero read a s:->cind time. SOUTH EASTERN, AND LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANIES BILL. On the motion for the second reading of this bill, Lord CLANRICAR 1E moved that it be read this day six months, inasmuch as he considered that it was a retro gression in every respect. It was at variance with all that was proposed by the charter granted to th.i London, Chatham, and Dover Railway, and he had always opposed the system upon which our railways were constructed, but he objected to tho principle of this amalgamation alto gether, as he consid -rel it was a combination against the public. The matter affected the wh01 , 3 of the public, and not only the public of England but of Europe, as these lines were c"nnected with the seaboard. Ile was convinced that the bill was one which would b., very much to the di_odvantageof the Company.. - . . . L , rd WLIARNCILFFE said that he trusted that their lordships would not be led away by the rem ,rks of the. noble Marquis opposite. He thought that the bill ought to ha road a second time, and that it should then ba referred to a select. commi:taa. He quite agreed with the remark of the noble vim finis, •that ho was taking an un usual tours'-'. The course taken was neither novel or un usual, and all the objections were obj ,ctions in detail, and not on t',e principle of the bill. The Puke of RICHMOND sa'd that he thought it would be useful that the b 11 should go b fore a select commitoe. Lord FORTESCUE said ho could not consider but that tho noble Marquis had done great service in bringing forward these impudent stipulations laid down by these co:npaniee, and ho was - glad that all the jobbery and bad management ,hould be exposed, and for this neglect on the part of the share holders be did not think that tho public should be calbid upon to pay for by increased prices in railway (LEFT SITTING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS—Tms EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. NORTH WESTERN AND OLIARINU-CROSS RAI [ROAD. Mr. T. HUGHES asked the Vico-President of the Bo:ir,1 of Trade whether it was the inten:iJn of the Board of Trade to grata a certificate of abandonment to the North Western and Charing-cross Railway, considering the re port of the joint committee of both Houses of Parliament in favour of this line? Mr. CAVE said he was not able to give a distinct answer as the time did not expire until the 2-Ith of June. lie could not say that the joint committee of both houses un reservedly recommended the making of the railway ; it was the opinion of the committee that unles4 thr,o new streets were made the bill ought not to be proceeded with. EX-GOVERNOR EYRE. Colonel B. KNOX asked the nrst Lord of the Treasnry if her Majesty's Government were of opinion that the Act of Indemnity passed by the I.,gislative Chamber of Ja maica, and contirmad by en Or,kr in Council of the Horne Cr.)vernment, is or is not a protection t i Ex-Governor Eyre for all acts done under martial law during the re bellion in the Island of Jamaica; and, if not, will her Ma jesty's Government undertake to bring in a bill to protect Governor Eyre from furthar prosecutions? Mr. DISRA.ELI said the highest authorities had de clined to give an opinion as to the extent of the power of the Act of Indemnity, and therefore he could not be ex pected to do so. With respect to the litter past ho had to say that it was not the intention of the Government to bring iu any such bill. Colonel B. KNOX asked the right hon..gentleman if ho was aware that the late Government had consulted the law officers of the Crown, whose opinion he had in his pocket? _ _ _ Mr. DISRAELI did not refer merely to the late law officers of the Crown when he said the highest legal autho rities had been consulted. (Hear, hear.) AUSTRALIAN POSTAGE. In reply to Mr. CHILDERS, Mr. ADDERLEY said the despatches referred to had been received, and if the hon. gentleman moved for them there would be no objection to their production. RITUALISII IN INDIA. In reply to Mr. KINNAIRD, Sir S. No Err lICOTE said he was aware that certain of her Majesty's troops, viz., the 60th Rifles, had objected to the manner in which the religious services were perfor 'ned at the church they had to attend iu India, the great objection being that the chaplain turned his back on the congregation during the celebration of the communion. Some of the soldiers had expressed a wish to go to the Presbyterian Church, and thus some correspondence took place. Sir William Mansfield considered the letters were particularly military on the part of the chaplain, and par ticularly theological ou the part of the officer. (Laughter.) The chaplain was the same as had acted under Bishop Oc.ton which he thought was quite su ffi cient to prove his orthodoxy. However, after some consultation an arrange ment had been come to, by which free liberty was given to every officer and soldier to attend that church and that form of worship which he pleased. (Hear.) This having been, he believed, satisfactorily aranged, he thought no further trouble might be taken in the matter. Mr. B. HOPE asked whether the lion. gentleman was aware that a new chaplain had been appointed to the church of Fort William, and that no ritualistic per formances now took place. Sir S. NOR►THCOTE said ho was not aware of any such THE CASE OE SERGEANT STONE. Mr. LABOUJHERE moved for a committee to inquire into the causes of the dismissal of police-sergeant Stone from the metropolitan police for3o. The hon. member contended that that officer had been m )st unjustly treated, after twenty years service, and that for 'ratters of which he contended ho was entirely innocent. It was true that Mr. Stone had received a gratuity of .£I2O atter his discharge, but he contauded he had a right to a pnsion, whizh ha would Lava been entitled to had he not been sti unjustly treated. Mr. HARDY said the greatest attention had been paid to this subject. The man himself had expressed his thanks for the gratuity which had boon granted him, and ho had also expressed himself satisfied because the granting of the gratuity showed that he had established his innocence at the Home-office. The right hon. gentlemen the membor for Morpeth had taken the most minute pains with the case, and, under all the circumstances, he (Mr. Hardy) thought substantial justice hal been done. Mr. HENLEY and Sir G. GRAY both thought there was no need of a select committee. The motion for a select committee was then withdrawn. LOCAL RATING. • Mr. CORRANCE moved for a select committee to con sider the present incidence and principle of local rating, and report thereon. (LEFT SITTING.) TRADES' UZ lONS. We have so frequently heard of the refusal of masters in trade to submit questions on which they and their employc's disagree to arbitration that it may not be uninteresting to specify a case in which the operatives have manifestly acted in opposition to the principle which they so emphatically profess to adopt. It is known probably to many of our readers that the Birmingham stonemasons are at present on strike. Some short time ago &Ir. A. J. Mundella, of Nottingham, will is now well known as the promoter of courts of conciliation as a remedy for strikes and lock-outs, write to Mr. S. S. Lloyd, intimatin,, as his letter, R hich is subjoined, will indicate, his willingness to bring the agitation to a prompt and satisfactory conclusion. The course of action adopted by the men will be amply understooi from the following correspondence :—" My dear Sir, — I duly received your letter and telegram, informing me that the masons refuse to settle their differences by a court of arbitration in which the operatives should be equal in number to the employers. This is the first time I have ever experienced any reluct ance on the part of the workmen to adopt a course which is so obviously just and honourable. Oae of two things is certain—either they are under some misconception as to the nature of the proposed method of adjusting the rates of wages, or they are resolved to force their own terms upon their masters irrespective of all considerations of justice. I hope the former is the true state of the case, but should it be the hitter, whether they succeed or fail in the present struggle, they Will inevitably be the suf ferers in the long run. Their masters will avail themselves of the first opportunity to be freed from a bargain to which they were not consenting par ties, and strikes, suffering, and humiliation will fall upon them in turn. I still cherish the hope that there is sufficient intelligence among the masons of Birmingham to discrn that bargains for wages are more likely to be permanent when they have the consent and sanction of both parties, and that they will seize upon the present opportunity to put an end at once and for ever to the war between capital and labour which is proving so disastrous to the in terests of both.—l remain, my dear sir, yours faith fully, A. J. MUNDELLA. S. S. Lloyd, Esq. P.S. Mr. Applegarth, of the Amalgamated Carpenters and Joiners, is willing to meet me in Birming ham, and assist in an amicable settlement." This letter having been forwarded to the Operatives Society, the following communication was addressed to Mr. S. S. Lloyd by the secretary of that body : —" Dear sir,—l duly laid the matter of Mr. Mun della's letter of the 2d inst. before the committee, and I am requested to state that the misconception must rest with Mr. Mundella himself, and not with the masons. He speaks of adjusting rates of wages, which is irrelevant to the question. As in this case we are neither asking for an advance of wages nor seeking to lessen the hours of labour, but to resist the introduction of piece -work, sub-contracting, and, with a few exceptions, worked stone from the quarries coming into the town, which I fully ex plained to you at a previous interview ; and with respect to the postscript, I am directed to state that as the masons do not make it their practice to in terfere with any other branches of the building trade, they most respectfully decline any proffered services on the part of Mr. Applegarth, and they still adhere to their former decision respecting arbi tration in this instance. •On behalf of the corn tnittee, I remain, honoured sir, your obedient ser vant, HENRY HARDING, secretary.
