No one can blame the Government, under these cir cumstances, for pushing forward the matter with as little delay as possible, and it is only to be regretted that more progress was not effected. A most insurmountable opposition was m tde to the bill, and in consequence the morning sitting came to au end without any definite result being at tained. In this we have another instance of the factious spirit which animates the course of the Opposition this year, and they are not thereby im proving their position or raising their character in the eyes of the country. Mr. GLADSTONE en deavoured, it is true, to make the best of their strange proceedings, but to very little purpose, and he showed his usual inconsistency by declaring that he was in favour of the principle of the bill, but many points of con siderable importance require to be explained. lie also admitted that he did not question the correct ness of the statement of the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, but still, with all these provisos, he was not willing to allow the bill to proceed. It is really extraordinary to notice the manner in which Mr. GLADSTONE conducts his policy in respect to mea sures before the House, but the mode of his pro- ceedings is not at all calculated to facilitate the course of public business, or hasten the completion of subjects before the House. Mr. HUNT proposed that the bill should be read a second time, and then referred to a Select Committee, when it could be satisfactorily arranged, and any point not popu lar to. The Government held out every inducement to hon. meuluv.. ... the bill, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer said that no opposition would be made to the clauses being introduced for the purpose of meet ing the objections of the railway com panies, and for giving every facility for tele graphic communications taking place. At the outset of his speech, Mr. HUNT showed that the project of the bill had been favourably received, and that the petitions were most significant in their character. Thus they had had against it ten from railway companies and three hundred and fifteen from private shareholders; while those in favour had come from commercial bodies and the news paper press. The telegraph companies are, on the whole, inimical to the bill. It stands to reason that as the purport of this measure is to enable the Government to deal with he telegraph companies for the purchase of their ines, and to authorise the Postmaster-General to work the lines so purchased, that it will be most inconvenient for the companies not to know what is to be done, much less to have to wait for another year in a state of indecision and uncertainty. Another " significant fact" was shown in this speech. A short time ago a weekly periodical stated that the Government had aban doned their intention of proceeding with the Tele graphs Bill. This was not true in itself, but it had its effect on the companies, because their shares fell immediately. Mr. LEEMAN in his long address failed to show sufficient grounds for his proposal, which was that the bill be referred to a select com mittee. His objection was of a fundamental nature, and he declared that it was most unadvisable for the Executive to undertake these duties ; and as for the parallel which the hon. member sought to make out by drawing a comparison between foreign countries and our own, it was not at all successfully carried out. The system of espionage which he so strongly denounced could never exist for a moment among us, and all that part of the argument falls to the ground. Mr. LEEMAN wished the Select Committee to inquire _into the policy of " trans ferring the telegraphs to the control of the State," but if the House agreed to that proposal ; it would be virtually the same as if the hon. member h ld carried out his original intention, and moved that the second reading should take place that day six months. Sir STAFFORD NORTHCOTE, with great justice, complained of the course the Opposition had taken, and said that it would have been much more straightforward if Mr. LEEMAN had adhered to his original notice. As for the difficulties of the bill there were none which could not at once be dis posed of if the House were so minded, and he wound up by putting the plain facts of the case be fore them, and stating that if the Opposition had fully made up their minds to get rid of the measure, of course they could do so. The end was, that the time for concluding the morning sitting arrived before the discussion had been brought to a close, and by their vexatious course the Opposition have very likely put off the settlement of the affair till another session. It is really too bad that no con sideration for public interests can arrest their tactics in the slightest degree, or check the mischievous spirit that now animates them, to the detriment of all progress but that of Mr. GLADSTONE'S incon clusive arrangements and premature measures. It is an old story by this time, but the public had better bear it in mind, and note the constant repe tition of it, so that when the dissolution really takes place they may see at whose account to place the wasted time of this session. du- ,711' • 11 I • 472' 44 • LONDON, WEDNE,SDAY, JUNE 10, 18G8. The House of Commons held yesterday its first morning sitting for the Session, for the purpose of discussing the Electric Telegraphs Bill. The Chan cellor of the Exchequer, in moving the Second 11,,Ading, dwelt upon the importance of the matter, and showed the necessity that existed for proceed.- i:rg with it this year. So many questions had been pat aside that it had been expected this one would have shared the same fate, but to do this would in terfere with the extension and improvement of the telegraphic communications, and, indeed, place The nature and importance of the British pos sessions in North America have been hitherto but very incompletely understood by all people of this country. The tide of emigration has poured every where but in that direction—to Australia, to Cali fornia, to New Zealand, to the United States, to Canada, while the vast and fertile territory lying waste in the North American Continent has been left comparatively undeeded. Much of this has been due to the superior attractions of the gold fields, but much has also been owing to the faulty legislation, and the folly which generation after generation has allowed the monopoly of a private company over a fine tract of territory capable of supporting its hun dreds of thousands. Unfortunately, the fur trade being the chief source of profit, the Hudson's Bay Company were more anxious to keep the country as a large preserve for the ermine and marten than to encourage emigration or to establish settlements. Our Governments have always failed to deal with this question with proper vigour, possibly they have found their excuse in the more pressing interests nearer home, which constantly engross their attention. The vast ex tent of England's dominions are evidenced by the fact that she can afford, if not despise, at letst to disregard so fine a territory, but in the present state of affairs she can hardly do su much longer. In any case it is a matter of regret that the land should not be turned to more account, and we are therefore glad that the subject has again been brought under the notice of the 'House of Com mons. Last evening Sir 11. VERNEY moved fur an address to the QUEEN praying for a Royal CJin mission to report upon " the capability for settle ment and the best means of settling her MAJESTY'S territory lying betwoen Lake Superior an .1 the Paci fic, especially as to the provision for telegraphic and other communication through her MAJE-av's domi nions from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. Sir 11. VERNEY, in moving for this commission, observed that there were millions of acres of fertile lands between Lake Superior and the Rocky Mountains, and that these, if settled, would afford the means of independent livelihood to many thousands of Irish emigrants.

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESLY EVENING, JUNE 10, 1868. the Irish in the United States was at the present moment a source of serious embarrassment, and he thought that if facilities for emigration to a dis trict which possessed abundanca of land for culti vating were afforded, much of the discontent now existing would be removed. This does not appear to us to be one of the strongest reasons for the pro posed settlement, as it is by no means certain that the Irish already settled in America will remove northwards for the sake of coming under English rule. Another argument adduced by Sir 11. VER NEY, in support of his motion, was that, if the vast district of Lake Superior were surveyed, it would prove the most direct line of communication be tween Europe and Eastern Asia. Mr. ICINNAIRD, who seconded the motion, observed that if any other country had possessed this territory it would long ago have been peopled, and that if, by a policy of neglect, we lost these countries, our responsibility would be serious. Mr. AYTOUN, on the other hand, thought the scheme somewhat impracticable, and dwelt a great deal on the difficulty of reaching the territory : but the hon. member was regarding the case rather as it is than as it might be. If the country were settled, the ap pliances for reaching it would multiply, the routes be simplified, and the difficulty of access need certainly be no greater than to many popu lous settlements with which a constant communica tion is kept up. Mr. ADDERLEY, on behalf of the Government, agreed in the general tenour of Sir H. VERNEY'S remarks, but demurred to the ap pointment of a Comrnisssion, since they had already uviALLUCtill, ILILVILLICavavu. ter was, he said, the possession of the country by a great company whose rights obstructed the settle ment of the region. The first thing to be done was to settle with the Hudson's Bay Company, and negotiations were i❑ progress with Canada for the assumption of the government of the country, and though the prorogation of the Canadian Parliament had for a time delayed the question, he believed it to be in course of rapid settlement to general satisfaction. The British Government could not therefore take any active steps in the matter, but must wait for these preliminary arrangements. We are glad to find, however, that Mr. ADDERLEY expressed himself fully satisfied of great importance of the territory and of the necessity which exists for its settlement. " The world," he said very justly, " was going on so fast that it was impossible this great district of country could remain much longer a fur-hearing wilder- Lord MILTON, who has himself tra versed the country, and published an account of his impressions, spoke strongly of the imperative necessity of immediate action. The question was, he said, no longer of the more or less difficulty of maintaining a road, but whether England wished to keep in their present state of loyalty the colonies of the Pacific. These have at present no direct means of communication. They derive their food from the United States, and are beginning, not un naturally, to talk about joining them. They have ground fcr complaint, too, in the unsettled state of things, because every year adventurous Americans go up during the fine season to work the gold mines, and thus the staple value of the territory is being worked out without profit to the colonists. The noble lord spoke highly of the value of the territory, declaring the belt of fertile land to be quite equal to Minnesota, and we hope the earnest reiteration of his opinion formed on the spot will have weight with our authorities.

Rouher's mention of " next year" whenerring on Satur day to the elections. The Minister hken interrogated upon this matter in the Corps Legisla by M. Gamier Pages, and in reply M. Rouher sainat be meant to say clans sin temps prochain, not Cam prochaine; i.e. , 6. soon" instead of next year; for the rigl ) f dissolving was the prerogative of the Emperor. Tlexplanation was very little satisfactory to the Oppositioand is very little creditable to the Government. The eharer is retained in a state of uncertainty in order that the Gsrnment may use all its immense influence to prepare thvay for carrying its own candidates, the Opposition beingll the while kept in the dark. M. Pinard's defence against the chargf being a"show" Minister was very warm and angry. He Mon dieu-ed, appealed to his past services, and wad very indignant at the thought that he could ever sub to hold an office in which he was not supported by hi colleagues. M. Emile 011ivier's reply was very cos but also very sarcastic. He said :" I have no doubthat the Minister is ' oratorically ' true, and that he belves what he has said. But how about the facts ? Them at least a con tradiction between what you say and wat you do. Any how, unity is absent. If it exists bets en you and your subordinates, it does not exist betwen your words and your deeds. Make your choice." The papers mention that Prince Tapoleon, who is travelling under the nom de voyage of Count de Meudon, has been received by the Emperor of Austria with the utmost empressement. Tho Emperor calld upon his visitor at his hotel, has given him a grand dinntr, and has shewn him every attention. The Prince has h4d frequent inter views with Count Audrassy, chief of the Hungarian Ministry. He is going not only to Pesth, but also to Prague. It remains to be seen if he will he as well re ceived by the Czechs as he is sure to be by the Magyars. kßop...nr. _constant, telezranbic communication with cypher. The Prince's visit is not exciting so much notice as his recent journey. Nevertheless, in Russia it is looked upon with great suspicion. The St. Peters burg Golos publishes au article so violent that the French papers will not venture to reproduce the whole of it. The portion which they do translate asserts that the object of the Prince's journey is to connect the Eastern question with the Polish, so that both may be raised at the same time, in the hope of embarrassing Russia. The Golos prophesies that if Austria takes any part in this conspiracy it will be she that will suffer, and predicts that the Austrian Empire will be broken up into two or three fragments, and that the House of Hapsburg will fall irretrievably. The relations between France and Italy grow more and more unfriendly. The Gazzetta di Torino, an influential journal, has been seized at Paris for containing a violent article against the French Government. It is even said that the contingency of war between the two countries is ft; ly contemplated, and that staff officers of the French and of the Italian army are inspecting simultaneously the frontiers of the two countries, with an eye to hostilities. One word more about the races. It is noticed as a curious circamstance that of the six races which have been run since the Grand Prix was established, three have been won by French and three by English horses. Vermouth, Gladiateur, and Fervacques won in '64, 65, and '67 ; The Ranger, Ceylon, and The Earl won in '63, '66, and '6B. Only one of the six—Gladiatenr— has won the Derby or the Two Thousand Guineas. The three English winners began their successes by winning the Biennial Stakes at Newmarket. The Marquis of Hastings is reported to have.netted £280,000 on Sunday, besides the prize and the stakes, which amount to £5,000. During the race there was a tolerably hearty quarrel between an Irish gentleman named Edgeworth and a French gentleman named Boulay. Mr. Edgeworth had a carriage, and M. Boulay persisted in putting his child into it against the owner's consent. Angry words followed, then a challenge from the French man to come down and fight, which was speedily accepted, to the great discomfiture of the Gaul, who was felled by two scientißc blows from the- Milesian. The crowd then interfered, and shouting "a bas les Anglais," attacked the descendant of the famous writer of " Moral Tales," and, dragging him beneath his horses, gave him a some what severe punishment. The report of the " Society of the Prince Imperial " has just been published. This society was founded by the Empress some seven years ago, in order to lend money to young workpeoplc below 18 years of age for the purchase of tools and other matters connected with their employ ments, and to afford them relief in time of sick ness. The association has grown rapidly, and the last report skews that its resources are over £BO,OOO, and that during the year ending March 31, 1868, 3,060 loans for nearly £50,000 were male in the deplrtment of the Seine alone. In the other departments there were loans made to about £6,000. The income of the society is derived from subscriptions, some of whom pay 100 f. (24) once for all, some 10f. a year, and from the weekly deposits of 10 centimes (about ld.) from the children associates. THE WEATHER TABLE.-! METEOROLOGICAL REPO, 'HIS DAY.

Arthur Forrester Smith, 14, and his brother, Hector Augustus Smith, 12, were placed at the bar at the Central Criminal Court charged with assaulting Mary Ann Nunn with intent to do grievous bo dil y hann. Both prisoners pleaded guilty. The Clerk of Arraigns inquired if they understood the nature of the charge, and whether they intended to plead guilty to intending to do the prosecutrix grievous bodily harm. Mr. Jonas, Governor of Newgato, said he understood from the prisoners that they were to be defended by counsel. Ur Besley said that ho was instructed, with his learned friend, Mr. Poland, to conduct the prosecution, and he be lieved ho should have to make an application, upon affi davits, for -the postponement of the trial to the next ses sion. Under these circumstances it would probably not be necessary to require the prisoners to plead at present, and they would be afforded an opportunity of communi cating with their legal adviser. The Recorder said it would certainly be advisable that the prisoners should under stand what they were required to do, and the case had bettor, therefore, stand over for the present. The prisoners, who could hardly be seen behind the front of the dock from the Boor of the court, and who appeared to be perfectly uncon cerned, were then removed. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

Yesterday a conference was held at the rooms of the Society of Arts, under the presidency of the Earl of Lich field, for the purpose of reading papers and discussing questions connected with working men's clubs and insti tutes. His lordship opened the proceedings with a brief practical speech, and it was arranged that the various papers should be read seriatim, and a discussion take place at a later period on the more important topics brought forward. Mr. Buckmaster, of the Science and Art Depart ment, South Kensington, introduced the first paper, which dealt with the subject of the education and recrea tion of the working classes generally. Warburton, rector Ittiey, which adesCrlaufbilvil9E:l )l. 4 of a club established in that village. One of the most important conclusions arrived at by the writer, founded on the experience of many years, was that the admission of mere youths as members of the club had materialy im oaired its usefulness. The question of refreshments was then brought inder the notice of the conference by Mr. Edward Hall, F.S.A., who urged that greater attention should be given to the preparation of the food and beverages supplied in the clubs, and recommended that efforts should be made to induce the working man of this country to imitate the example set by his confrere in France in reference to the manner of cooking his food. There was no reason, too, he thought, why the working men's clubs should not partake of the elegant decorative character observable in the cafés in Paris. The following was then brought forward as the first ques tion for discussion : " Is it desirable that a member of any London club should have the privilege of free admission to other London clubs, and that members of country clubs should exchange with each other and with members of London clubs the same privilege ; and if so • on what conditions ?" Mr. Howell suggesting that the plan pursued in connection with trade and benefit societies, by which the members in one part of the country were enabled to avail themselVes of the advantages offered by the branches in other parts, should be applied to working men's clubs. To Mr. Hall it appeared absolutely essen tial that there should be this privilege of free admission into the various clubs, if the use of public-houses was to be superseded. The Hon. Auberon Herbert urged the delegates, when they returned to the provinces, to bring the matter under the notice of their clubs, and communicate with the council. Some other topics of minor importance having been canvassed, the question of the proper age of admission was then raised, it being generally admitted that the circumstances were very few when youths under 18 years of age could be admitted with advantage. The refreshment question was vigorously debated, there being a considerable section who objected to the introduc tion of beer and spirits into clubs, while another section thought the best way to keep working men from public houses was to provide proper places where they could procure what they needed without being exposed to the contaminating influences of the former places. There were several other topics set down for consideration which had to be left untouched owing to the length of time devoted to the former portion of the programme. The conference, which was attended by delegates from various provincial clubs and institutes, concluded with a vote of thanks to the Earl of Lichfield. A TIGER AT LARGE-TERRIBLE SCENE. The Escaut, of Antwerp, gives the following : —"A fright ful mishap, accompanied by the most tragic circumstances, spread terror on Sunday morning last through the dis trict of St. Jacques. The Zoological Garden has for a long time been in possession of two magnificent Bengal cgers, one of which was to be forwarded to Loudon. To avoid accident, the animal was placed iu a waggon secured with strong iron bars. The greatest precaution was therefore taken to avoid a catastrophe. At half-past 3in the morning the railway servants perceived an enormous animal clearing at a bound the wall which separates the zoological gardens from the railway station. The tiger had, in fact, °seal ed, having bent and broken two of the iron bars of his cage. The first object of his fury was the cart-horse of a night man, which happened to be passing. The tiger bounded on the unfortunate horse, biting him in th© flank, and tearing the straps that attached him to the cart. The driver, who at first sought safety on the horse's back, hid himself under the cast, but not bef , re receiving a wound in the log from the tiger's paw. Meantime the horse, trad with terror and pain, galloped furiously towards the market of St. Jacques, pursued by the tiger. Hero another deplorable event occurred. A gardener, who was passing the street, attracted the fury of the beast. The tiger sprang at him, tearing his breast, logs, and neck in a fearful manner. Having finished his victim the animal dragged the body some distance; he then aban doned it and rushed into St. Anne's-court, where his pre sence caused indescribable terror. M. Vekernans, the director of the Zoological Garden, having been informed of the escape, proceeded with his staff in. pursuit, and came up with the animal at the corner of St. Jacques'-street, near the house Verstrepon. A night watchman and three or four other persons took refuge in a small shop opposite this house. The tiger spied them and stood for a moment as though he intended to rush at them through the window. pre pursued his course, however, through the market. Vekemans with his assistant, after the animal got into St. Anne's-court, barricaded the entrance and placed a trap in it with a view of taking him alive. They then got into the houses of the court in order to frighten him into this trap. The tiger lay couched against the door of the atelier of M. De Braekeleer, the sculptor, but perceiving ono of the men in pursuit on the roof of a house, he leaped on the roof of a lower house, and assumed a most menacing position. MM. Voke mans, De Braekeleer, Werbronk, and Verhoven were armed with guns. The tiger having perceived them descended from the roof, evidently bent on making an attack, and when about four metres off he couched to make his spring. The order to fire was given, and three guns were discharged in succession. The first shot appeared to have missed, the second struck the animal, the third inflicted a mortal wound. He tottered back to the entrance of the court, where M. do Braekeleer finished him with a fourth shot. These gentlemen behaved with great intrepidity, and but for their coolness and the measures they adopted much greater injury would have been dono. Tho gardener who was attacked never spoke, and died in the hospital the same morning. His Majesty the King of Prussia has presented to thetrustees and the church committee of the English Church in Kissingon the Sum of 500 thalers in aid of their funds, and in consideration of the deficiency of the ordinary subscrip tions for the year 1866, occasioned by the absence of visitors owing to the warlike operations at Kissengen in that year during the bathing season. MAYNOOTII.—A Parliamentary return has been is sued, on the motion of Sir F. Heygate, giving the amount received by the Royal College of St. Patrick, 3laynooth from the Consolidated Fund, in each year since 1840. In 1841 it amounted to £8,928, but in 1846 it was increased, and in 1847 it stood at .£26,350 ; for the next twelve years it did not vary, being £26,360; but in 1860 £3,000 was added to the former amount. From 1861 to 1865 it again figures at £26,360; in 1866, £26,272 12s. Bd.; 1867, £26,272 15s 2d ; 1868, £26,251 10s. 11d. THE MANAGEMENT Op FRIENDLY SOCIETIES.—Mr. Tidd Pratt has writt•ru another letter on the extravagant sum raid to the committee of the Royal Liver Friendly Society. From thii it appears that for the services of seven of the conunittle men each of them received about £1 9s. per day (exclusive of Sen Cays), cut of the contributions paid by the members, in addition to which the treasurer's salary was £560, the auditor's £250, and the accountant's and solicitor's accounts are stated to be £B2O 12s. 6d. This sum is stated to be more than is paid to a director of any life-office in England. Mr. Pratt says be is confident that if a commission was appointed, as will probably be the case, to inquire into the operations of such societies, the result would justify the observation he has before made—that burial societies, as now conducted, are not beneficial to the working classes. Ha concludes his letter as follows: —"lt is rather singular that none of these burial societies inform their members or the public what is the actual amount of the sums now in sure(' in each society! What is the reason for this?", W.N.W. N. N.N.W. 1 - 1 7 30'23r 30'23r. 1 30'035, W. N. "W. S. S. W. S. W. w. W. S. W. w.s.w. S.W. w.s.w. N. N. W. N. W. N.W. W.B.W. N.N.W. S.S.W. N.N.W. S.S.W.

The distriLution cf the atmos)l. ale 1 pressr re ! as continued ner er unchanged since yesterday, and is very uniform : there has been a alight increase in the N. and E. since last evening, whilst in other districts readings are almost the same. No important difference in tempera ture is noted. Moderate winds from the westward have been preva lent : in the Channel very light north-westerly winds are reported. On the coast of Ireland the wind is now south-westerly, and in the south of France a strong wind from the N.W. is blowing. The sky Is generally cloudy. It is intended to reconstruct the fortifications of Cologne. The Independance Beige says that this is not a menace on the part of Prussia, but that the measure is adopted merely because the capital of the Rhine is " stifled " within its present narrow limits, and wants more breath ing space. - - Recent advices confirm the news of the great battle in Bokhara in almost every particular. The statement that the Ameer was killed does not seem to have been true, but it is proved that the Russians did advance upon Samarkand, and did rout a Bokbarian army 80,000 strong. Once more, then, the old question is sure to be revived, Ought we not to advance our Indian frontier, by way of counteract ing Russian influence in Central Asia ? The Times un hesitatingly says No. It would not be beyond our power to effect the conquest of Afghanistan, though the work could be achieved only at an enormous charge ; but the sole end of this conquest would be that the British frontier would be brought nearer to the Russian positions by the whole breadth of that province. If, indeed, we had occupied Afghanistan, as Wa I recom mended some years ago, and if the Russians are actually in Bokhara, the garrisons of the two nations would be now actually confronting ea ;11 other, and the long dreaded collision would have been precipitated by our own efforts to prevent it. This, of course, would he no disadvantage if Afghanistan wcu'd give us a better frontier province than the Punjab, but that cannot be maintained. We are stronger upon the Indus than we could ever be upon the Oxus, nor could we advance a step without detriment to our power. The occupation of Afghanistan, whether partial or complete, would be a•i in calculable drain upon our resources ; indeed, such is the nature of that country and its population, that it can never be made so useful to us as by being left alone. Whoever meddles with the Afghans will be attacked by the whole force of the population, and, though they may be subdu2d, the conquest of such a people would cost any Power dear. Here, then, says the Times, is the simple question, "Shall A soeß rie eilisalsiads p ivai : asl y alnt enswd t : h e : Nfalo t ,alsriio p httN r ahvf i loe c ltr e hd , wieetic o eemi r ns shall we leave it to be paid by the d e ro e eno b a fl l o e uci d nraob a owu n uin d r, : P e v m :e f e y s i b i e e a t n t oi t . t s l u e i o nn u o ad i r ee l s re e t ga l h o v t e e ot s f hc llt sm n e t o n e i r f e , frontier of the Puniab?" —• ' Nairn .

THE RATING CLAUSE OF THE REFORM BILL. This morning, on the learned judges taking their seats, Mr. Mainsty, Q.C., stated that he had a❑ application to make with regard to a case, the de cision in which materially affected the whole com• munity. The caso alluded to was that of an application on a case stated from a decision of the Justices of Sunderland, as to the non-pay ment of rates by an old compounder of that borough, according to the new regulation contained in the 7th clause of the new Reform Bill. It was a ques tion which affected every one, and was of great public interest and private importance, and therefore lie would ask the Court to hear the arguments in it this term, as it had also a great effect upon the registrations, which would have to be made before the new Reform Bill came into operation. his friend the Solicitor-General was in the case, and he was as anxious as himself that it should be heard at once. The Lord Chief Justice—Neither cases of public or private importance ought to interfere with the cases which on the special day are to come on in their regular order. I cannot see why the decision of the Court should be required in the matter. The usual course is to go to some eminent lawyer and take his opinion. It will be impossible to take cases in the order of their relative importance. The Solicitor-General said that it did not affect Sunderland only, but the whole metropolis, for on this decision rests the whole question of regis tration. It would save a great deal of expense, be would e% en go farther and say an enormous expense, and would let the country know what the cauu tv 111 i.4.IWJ prevent a, prprit many contests and effect a great number of regis trations. lle might mention that there were 7,000 summonses in the parish of Lambeth. The Judges, after some consideration, agreed to take the case this afternoon. POLICE INTELLIGEYCE.-THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBING A BARRIsTER..—Mary Stevens, a prosti tute, and John Sails, a billiard marker, were charged before Mr. Knox with stealing from the person of Mr. W. C. Bonargee, barrister, of No. 5, New-square, Lincoln's-inn, a pocket-book contain ing two sovereigns and some postage stamps. Mr. Bonargee (who appeared as a Quaker) said that about half-past twelve that morning he was passing up Princes-street, Leicester-square, when he saw the prisoner and another female standing together on the pavement. The female prisoner asked him to give her something to drink, and put her arms round him and began dancing. Th e pri soner then hurriedly left hba, and directly after wards he missed his pocket book, and saw the pri soner band it to a man, the male prisoner. On going after the female prisoner the male prisoner interfered with him. Ile called " Police," and the prisoners were taken into custody, the pocket book at the time lying on the ground. The female prisoner asked the prosecutor if there was not a crowd round them at the time, and he said there was not. Mr. John Cecil Palmer, of No. 34, Bernard street, Russell-square, said he was with his friend Mr. Bonargee last night, and while going through Princes-street the female prisoner seized Mr Bonar gee, and afterwards left him, and, on Mr. Bonargee going after her the male prisoner stopped him. He did not see the female prisoner give anything to the men. Sergeant Grainger, 8 C, said that on taking the prisoners into custody the male prisoner pointed to a pocket-book lying on the ground, and said, " There's your pocket-book," but he (the Ser geant) could not say whether the prisoner threw it there or not. In answer to Mr. Knox, the gaoler (Burns) said that he believed that the prisoners had been charged at the court before. Mr. Knox remanded them. THAMES, DARING CAsn-Box rtOBBEIZY.—John Hampton, a man about 31 years of age, with a long beard and moustache, and wearing a shabby genteel suit of black, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with stealing a cash-box containing 12 sovereigns and £1 17s. hi silver from the Three Crowns public house in the Mile-end-road. Miss Sarah Ann Myers said she was the daughter of the proprietor of the Three Croiins. Yester day afternoon about five o'clock she was in the bar, and serving two gentlemen with cider, and it was for payment of which they tendered a sove reign, which was placed on the counter. The pri soner, who looked faint and ill, was in a side box, and called for some gin. She served him with the gin, and then took the cash box out of the cupboard in the bar to procure change for a sovereign. Having given the change to the two gentlemen she returned the cash box to the cupboard and locked the door. Soon afterwards she heard a noise behind her, and saw the prisoner on his hands and knees creeping out of the flap door in the bar, and at the same moment observed the cash-box under his arm. She said to the prisoner, " What are you doing?' and he walked sharply away. She screamed out for help, and said, " He has got my father's cash-box." The gentleman followed the prisoner and overtook him, and brought back the cash-box, which con tained £ll in gold and £1 103. in silver. Two gentlemen, named Bowman and Cook, said the prisoner threw the cash-box away when they overtook him, and he made a determined resistance. A police-constable, named Bannister, said he found a bunch of skeleton keys on the prisoner. There were two others with him, who made their escape. Mr. Paget said the prisoner would be committed for trial to-morrow (Thursday) week, June 18, until which day he remanded him. MAYNOOTH COLLEGE.—The College of Maynooth is erected on land in perpetuity, containing 123 a lr 28p., for which the college pays the annual rent of £194 10s. Gd. As tenant at will, the college also holds a farm from the Duke of Leinster, containing 218 a Or 4p, the rent of which is £3OO per annum. The only land for which the college receives any rent is the Dunboyne estate, containing 438 a Or 35p, let under fee-farm grant at the gross annual rent of £461 18s. 2d. The net rent received varies with the taxes, and may be taken at an average of £420 per annum. There are no fines levied in the college, and the only fees aro those payable by students at entrance, and which amount to Bs. The average receipts under this head have, how ever, during the last seven years amounted to £766 16s. per annum. The sum voted for the college from the Consolidated Fund this year was £26,251 10s. 11d., which is a slight decrease on all the grants made since 1847. The number of students registered on the Ist of January last was 524. THE ITALIAN ORGAN BOTS.—A remarkable re port, prepared by M. Cavaglioz, a member of the Socia6 Italienne de Bieufaisance de Paris, on the abominable traffic in Italian children, has happily resulted in attracting the attention of some mem bers of the Italian Parliament to the subject. Messrs. Guerzoni and Oliva have notified their in tention to question the Government on the matter, and General Menabrea is understood to have fro wised his cordial support to the propositions to b e submitted by them. It i s sincerely to be hoped that before long an end will be put to this disgrace ful trade. The poor children are literally bought from their relatives by the padres, who fatten on the proceeds, and are exported to furnish street musicians and mendicants all over the world. A wonderful feat of pedestrianism is stated to have been achieved on Monday morning at 5 a.m. by a man named Woodhouse, who undertook, for s b, t of £2O, to run forty miles in five hours. The course selected was the high road from Newington to Croydon, a distance of ten miles. Woodhouse ran from Newington to Croydon and back in two hours and fifteen minutes. The next ten miles, from Newington to Croydon he performed in one. hour and twelve minutes, and completed the whole distance by 9.53 a.m., having seven minutes to spare, without exhibiting any distress. 6ra -_-„.k wthn. HER MAJESTY. BALMORAL CASTLE, June 7. The Queen and Princess Louise attended Di vine service at the parish church, Crathie. The Duchess of Athole, the Hon. Miss Cathcart, and Colonel Ponsonby were in attendance. There will be an interesting llandel revival at the Crystal Palace on Saturday next, it having been decided to perform the great master's " Fire work music " in connection with a pyrotechnic display. As the work is rarely heard, and but very little is known concerning it, a few particulars may not be unacceptable. On the 27th of April, 1749, the Peace of Aix-la-Chapelle was celebrated by a firework exhibition in the Green Park. The " machine," or stand, " represented a magnificent Gothic temple, from which extended two wings, terminated by pavilions 114 feet in height to the top of his Majesty's arms, 410 feet long." Pre ceded by a salute from " 101 brass ordnance " the affair ended by the Gothic Temple taking fire, and very nearly burning down the King's library which stood close at hand. But some music Mr. Handel had written for the occasion was duly played out, and seems to have gratified the crowd immensely. The greatest curiosity had been felt about it. A contemporary print records how, when the music was rehearsed at the Spring Gardens, Vauxhall, 12,000 persons attended and " occasioned such a stoppage on Loudon Bridge that no carriage could pa=s for three hours." This excitement probably irom tne peculiar character of the music as from the popularity of its composer. The overture, for example, truly described as "a grand overture of warlike instruments," was written for twenty-four hautboys, twelve bassoons, nine trumpets, nine horns, three pairs of kettle-drums, a serpent, and a double bass. So remarkable an orchestra would account of itself for any degree of curiosity. The other pieces, intended to illustrate various pyrotechnic designs, were two allegros— the second called "La Rejouissance " one Bour6e, one Siciliana, entitled "La Paix," and two minuets, in all of which the " warlike instruments " were joined by others more peace ful. Handel must have been gratified by the success of his novel effort. " Firework music " had a place in concert programmes for a long time, and when the composer directed its perform ance on behalf of the Foundling Hospital it brought 1,000 half-guineas to the funds. In return Handel was enrolled a governor and guardian of the hospital. A correspondent of the Atlas forwards a local paper, which describes the attractions held forth by the booths at some races recently held at Wye. In several instances these consisted of skeletons ; and, in one case, the interest was heightened by the announcement that the remains were those of One of the victims of the Clerkenwell explosion. A correspondent of the Scotsman calls attention to what he calls an act of Vandalism. He says that the shaft of a cross, which for centuries marked the point whence Robert Bruce and his followers left Arran, has lately been removed, and used in the construction, in the neighbourhood, of a dry stone dyke. IGNORANCE OF DIVINITY STUDENTS.—In the General Assembly, last week, at Edinburgh, there was an interesting debate upon a proposition for establishing a more satisfactory mode of examining students by the presbyteries of the Church. The contemplated improvement was warmly advocated by Mr. Douglas Maclagan, who gave, from his own experience, an amusing example of its necessity. He said :—ln the medical faculty, with which he was connected, they required the students to pass a preliminary examination in literature and mathe matics. At a late examination there were fif cy five candidates, and in English twenty-seven passed and twenty-eight were rejected. If the Assembly were to hear all the details of the examination, they would be astonished. One of the questions—not a very profound one—was as to the meaning of the word "hypothesis." One of the candidates said that it meant " a machine for raising water."—(Laughter.) Another candidate said that it meant " something that happened to a man after his death."—(Laughter.) One of the historical questions put was as follows :—" Give some account of Galileo and Copernicus ;" to which one of the students replied that Galileo was a man that had committed five murders—(laugh ter), —another that Galileo and Copernicus were two gentlemen who had fallen together in some battle—(laughter),—and a third student said that Copernicus was " a compound of two metals."---' (Laughter. ) M. Vivien De Saint Martin has in the press a new Universal Dictionary of Geography, which is to contain a description of all the countries and peoples of the world, after official documents, and the results of the latest investigations of topo graphers, archwologists, natural historians, hydro graphers, and statisticians. At a meeting of the Dublin corporation on Mon day, Mr. A. M. Sullivan, of the Nation and Weekly News, appeared for the first time since he had been liberated from prison, where he had been incarce rated on conviction for publishing seditious libels, in his place in the council chamber. He received a warm ovation from both sides of the house. He claimed indulgence while he thanked the members for their kindness, and as to the pro position that he should be nominated as lord mayor for the ensuing year, he took the first op portunity to come there, and in the strongest but most respectful manner to refuse and disclaim any such compliment. He would place no limit to to the kindness of the house in its desire to compliment him, but he could not allow the public to believe that he intended to ask or ac cept such a compliment. He would ask the town clerk to replace in the books a notice given by him last year, that he would nominate the Lord Mayor for the ensuing year from amongst the gentlemen comprising the minority (Conservatives) of the council. Nothing that could happen to him would withdraw him from the direct line of prin ciple on which he acted in giving that notice-- namely, that all sides should be admitted in their turn to such representative positions in the coun try as could be conferred on them—(hear, hear)- - ' and if ever there was a time at which, more than another, he would like that that wholesome prin ciple should be most strictly asserted, it was now, when some of their fellow-citizens throughout the country might be agitated by fears as to whether they might apprehend injustice from the majority of their fellow-countrymen in case they were 10 power. It would afford him much gratification to move that some gentleman of the minority should be nominated for the mayoralty for the ensuing year. The Northern Whig reports that some rioting in Banbridge on Friday and Saturday, occasioned by some persons who took offence at the prolonge d visits to that Orange locality of three members of the order of St. Vincent de Paul, who morning and evening conduct religious services in the Roma n Catholic chapel. In spite of the efforts of the police they came into the town from the surroun d ' ing neighbourhood in a state of great excittnaen and smashed the windows of several Roman Ca tholic inhabitants. The police assembled near 00 chapel to prevent the mob from attacking it, an d were assailed with showers of stones. On Sundlf comparative quietness prevailed, but fears were Co' tcrtained that that the rioting would be renowe j upon a more formidable scale. FORCER"! OF TICKETS TO A. LIBERAL AIEETISG.---. We are informed that summonses will be applied for to day, the Liverpool Police-court, against the person! supposed to have been the principals in the recent forge'a of tickets for the Liberal meeting.
