LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. COURF OF QUEEN'S BENCH, (Sittings in Banco, before the Lord Chief Justice and Jutices Blackburn and Lush). THE CASE OF GOVERNOR EIRE.-PERSONAL EXPLANA- TION. This morning the Lord Chief Justice, on taking his seat on the bench, said that he must take the opportunity to make a statement with regard to Governor Eyre's case, to contra dict a rumour which had been circulated, to the effect that the charge delivered by Mr. Justice Blackburn was really the opinion of the other judges, whilst in reality it was only his individual opinion. Mr. Justice Blackburn, as senior puisine judge, addressed the grand jury, but any member of court could have done the same, and if he had known what Mr. Justice Blackburn would have said he should have been in his pace on the bench. With some parts of the law as laid down he did not concur, but entirely dissented from. Mr. Justice Blackburn ,was merely the mouthpiece—the organ of the court. The Lord Chief Justice then alluded to the opinion expressed as to national law as laid down in Regina v. Brand and Nelson. If Mr. Eyre acted conscientiously in the matter, according to the advice of those competent to advise him, he would not be responsible for what ensued. He did not make the statement in any vain spirit, or with a wish that he might not be in consistent when they looked at his charge in the case of Brand and Nelson and the charge in the case of Governor Eyre, but with a sense that the world not only at the present, but in years to come, when he should be no more, would not be under the impression that the law as laid down by Mr. Justice Blackburn was the law that he and other members had laid down, if in any future years an insurrection should take place. Therefore he hoped it would not be thought that the law laid down in the address of Tuesday was that held by all of the members of the Court. Mr. Justice Blackburn said that if an impression had prevailed that the opinion delivered was that of the whole court, he was anxious to correct that im pression. It was his opinion alone, and he was ready to abide by it. 1071 7 I The subject then dropped. CENTRAL CRIMINAL Co URT—(This Day.) The June Sessions of the Central Criminal Court commenced this morning before tho Lord Mayor and the Recorder. The calendar contains the names of 86 prisoners for trial. The Recorder, in charging the Grand Jury, remarked that although the cases that would be laid before them did not exceed the usual number at this period of the year, yet some of them were of the most serious description. There were two charges of murder, one of which was against a young woman named Davis for strangling her infant child ; and the evi dence, as was usually the case, was of the most painful description ; they would say, after consider ing the whole of it, whether there was a prima facie case against her. If so, it would be their duty to return a true bill. A man named Joseph Smith was also indicted for the wilful murder of Daniel Bradstock, who at the time of his death was an Inspector in the A division of police. The prisoner, it appeared, was taken into custody for a minor offence, committed whilst in a state of drunkenness at a public house, called the Mitre and Dove, King-street, Westminster, and some hours after, ou being visited by the inspector, he made a violent attack upon him, and stabbed him with a large % pair of shears. The wounded man survived for some considerable time, but erysipelas intervened, and death afterwards ensued. The state of mind of the prisoner at the time the attack was made would not have to be considered by them, that would be dealt with by another jury, but if they felt that the evidence clearly proved that death had been caused by the act of the prisoner they would find a true bill against him. There was a very serious charge against two boys of very tender age, and which might have re sulted in very serious consequences, but fortunately the aged woman, who was so seriously assaulted, survived the injuries, and therefore they would not have to take their trial fur the capital offence. [lure were, as usual, a number of cases of fraud in commercial matters, and also several prosecu tions by the authorities of the Mint, but as they presented no peculiar features from those usually brought before them he would not detain them by a reference to them. The Court would, in the event of any difficulty arising, give the grand jury every assistance. The grand jury then retired to their room to commence their duties. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGII-STREET. DAMAGING THE FLOWERS IN HYDE PARK._JaB• Thomson was charged before Mr. Knox with da maging some geraniums in Hyde Park. Police-constable Hook, 217 A, proved seeing the prisoner pull up some geraniums, and on telling him that he had done wrong he threw them away, saying that he did not know that he had done any harm. The prisoner said that he was sorry for what he had done, and asked the magistrate to deal leni ently with him for the sake of his family. Mr. Knox fined the prisoner 10s. or seven days. George Burgess, a middle-aged man, of respect able appearance, was charged by John Martin, 287 A, with a similar offence. Mr. Knox asked the prisoner what business he had to take the flowers. The prisoner said he did not think there was any harm in taking a few flowers. Mr. Knox said the prisoner was totally without excuse, and he considered it a most disgraceful act for a man of the prisoner's age. The prisoner would have to pay 20s, or it days. THAMES. DISCRETION IS THE BETTER PART OF VALOUR. — William Hofferman, who was also called Hatter man, a tall, rough-looking fellow, was brought be fore Mr. Bengon, charged with assaulting Mrs. Smith, the landlady of the Black Bull publichouse n Brook-street, Ratcliffe. The complainant, a respectable woman, has been sadly persecuted by a cab driver, named Taylor, who has frequently been at this court, and punished. Or Friday last, Mrs. Turner, the daughter of the complainant, charged Taylor with an aggra vated assault upon her, and Mr. Paget com mitted the fellow for trial. Mr. Allen, the prose cuting officer of the Associate Institution for im proving and enforcing the laws for the protection of women, has taken up this case. On Saturday night the complainant, Mrs. Smith, was subjected to a fresh persecution from the prisoner, who is a friend of the cab driver. He made a disturbance as the house was being closed, and got up a sham fight in front of the bar. On Mrs. Smith and her barman asking him to retire, he swore at them, and the prisoner said he should like to knock down Mrs. Smith. The barman retreated into the bar parlour, while Mrs. Smith went into the front of the bar with a view of suppressing the disturbance, and the prisoner struck her, to use her own words, with all his force on the nose and caused it to bleed profusely. The prisoner then ran out of the house. A policeman was called, and the prisoner was sought after and given into custody. Mr. Benson asked why the barman did not sup press the row, and he replied that Mrs. Smith went into the front of the bar, because it was thought no one there would strike a woman. Mr. Benson—Discretion is the better part of valour. (A laugh.) The barman said that a blackguard bad threat ened to kill him. Mr. Benson—And that is the reason you did not expose yourself ? The Berman—Yes, sir. After a long investigation, Mr. Benson had no doubt the prisoner struck Mrs. Smith, but he did not believe he had done it with all his force. It was a cowardly blow. He fined the prisoner 10s., or 14 days. "WELCHERS" AT THE RACES. At the Salford Town Hall, before Mr. Trafford, Sohn Jul ford, Percy Roland, and William Linney, three "welchers", were charged with conspiring to defraud a person named Yates. The officer who took the prisoners into custody Mated that they had made a bet with the prosecutor, and he horse he backed having won they ref usdi to pay him. The prosecutor said he was in the grand stand on Thurs lay, and made a bet with these men. He gave the money £4) to one of them, who.passed al° the others. When the )et was decided he could not find them. Mr. Trafford—l •eally don't see how you can make out a criminal charge tgainst these men. If a man makes a bet with another, I don't tee how the money has been got by false pretences. If you will mercise no more common sense than trust these men, I can mot interfere.—The prosecutor said the prisoners had got a :onsiderable amount of money upon them, and he suggestep .hat the magistrate should make them return his. Mr. rrafford I will do nothing of the kind; if parties will not axercise more common sense they need not come to my.— rhe prisoners were discharged.

The bockmakers will naturally be anxious to re cover their losses over the Derby, and backers:of horses, whose name is legion, will be equally anxious to increase their gains. The only events for. the first day, which I can not allude to, are the 'hid Stakes and a Maiden Plate. The Gold Vase will, of course, go to JULIUS, who is the best four year old in the country. I should think Xi would win the Queen's Stand Plate, unless BRIGANTINE should beat him, which the latter ought to be able to do, as to my notion the two year olds have decidedly the best of the weights according to the conditions. The Fourteenth Ascot Triennial Stakes will resolve itself into a match between TARABAN and ACHIEVEMENT, the first named of which will beat the mare, I believe, on this occasion. The Eleventh Ascot Biennial Stakes has sixty four youngsters engaged, the best of the public performers being likely to prove ELEC TRICITY, and if beat by one of the dark divi sion I fancy it Will be by THE CLIPPER, who is worth noticing from the fact of her being by 'Buc cane(r, and consequently very likely to possess a great turn of speed. Although there are no less than one hundred and thirty subscribers to the Prince of Wales's Stakes, it lays in a small compass, as the winner is sure to be produced from the fol. lowing half dozen—viz., Moslem, Formosa, King Alfred, Restitution, St. Ronan, and Samson. From the value of the stakes, number of entries, and qua lities of the animals engaged, it may be considered a second Derby, and if Baron Rothschild is of my way of thinking, and uses the two strings to his bow, he cannot fail to obtain this rich prize with one of his pair, KING ALFRED or RESTITUTION. I now come to the Ascot Stakes, for which there are twenty acceptances, and it looks a good thing for SATYR or DEMONSTRATION. The Fern Hill Stakes has several first class two and three year olds engaged, but as LEONIE*Mide such a terrible example of her field in the Heathcote Plate at Epsom, which included Athena and Ironmaster, I believe over this half mile course she will defeat all her opponents, including Blue Gown, Bads worth, and Cocoa Nut, if they have the temerity to oppose her. The Ascot Derby Stakes is a cer tainty for THE EARL, whose success for the Grand Prix de Paris proves what an opportunity was thrown away by his owner not running him for the Derby. In the Sixteenth Triennial Stakes I prefer THE MARTYR. The moment the weights appeared for the Royal Hunt Cup Eastley was installed first favourite, and still continues to monopolise the lion's share of the betting. At the same time Mr. Pitt, Fakir, colt by Romulus out of Attack, The Dean, and Slanderer are likely to give him a great deal of trouble. However, as the stable has not been forestalled I shall be solely repre sented by EASTLEY, next to whom will be found Fakir and Mr. Pitt. THE EARL will most likely be started for the Tenth Ascot Biennial Stakes, which is worth upwards of £7OO. The Coronation Stakes is a moral for LEONIE if she can stay the mile, but Sir Joseph is sure to have a try with GREEN SLEEVE, in whom I have most confidence. Of Thursday's running THE EARL has the St. James's Palace at his mercy, but should he be ab sent I fancy ST. RONAN. For the Gold Cup Julius and Blue Gown are amongst the Post entries, and although I expect to see a fine race between the two, as I am satisfied the latter can stay the dis tance, I must plump for Jumus. The Fifth New Biennial Stakes looks a good thing for NELUSKO, who claims an allowance of 51b, whilst St. Ronan and Formosa have each 121 b extra to carry. The Sixth New Biennial Stakes - will pro bably go to VALE ROYAL, unless one of Bloss's lot should be able to defeat him. The New Stakes has no less than seventy nominations, many of those engaged being the best bred two-year-olds in the country. BELLADRUU and MASANIELLO have each incurred a 51b penalty for winning, and I give the preference to Mr. Merry's horse. I see nothing to beat LANARET for the All-Aged Stakes, but I hear Count Lagrange's L'Oise is first-class, and in that case she would win. The only two races complete for Friday are the Fifteenth Ascot Triennial Stakes, which VALE ROYAL ought to be able to win ; and the Alexandra Plate will go to Jumus. A FRESH MAN.

CORN. The weather continues fine, and although the accounts of the growing crops are not without some complaints, they are highly favourable. The tone of the trade is firmer. Holders are less anxious to sell and buyers more disposed to operate. From the country markets the reports are in many cases more favourable. _ _ _ At Mark-lane this morning the attendance was fair, and a better tone prevailed. The small supply of English wheat was cleared off at is advance on the rates of this day week. Foreign wheat met more inquiry, and was decidedly firm, and sales were effected at rates not obtainable last week. There has been no quotable change in the value o flour, and only a limited business. Barley is dull of sale, but no light supply, and the ac counts respecting the crops not favourable. Beans and peas are unaltered, and in limited supply. Maize remains without variation. METROPOLITAN CATTLE. There were only au average supply ofbeasts, but a large number of sheep and lambs. Beef generally firm. Other stock easier to buy. Of beasts there wore 22 from Scotland, 2,378 from vari ous parts of England, and 1,180 from abroad. There was a good demand for beef, and the better qua lities realised 2d per stone advance, inferior selling with out variation. Of sheep and lambs the supplies included 5,970 foreign For both the trade ruled heavy, and lower rates were taken. There was a good supply of veal, there being 318 foreign calves, and the trade ruled sluggish, with some depression in price. Pork wet a quiet and steady sale at firm rates. TALLOW. The market is ciniet at 43s on the spot. Stock, 21,354 casks against 19,077 casks last year ; delivery, 1,146 casks against 1,257 casks last year; arrivals, 1,255 casks against 68 casks last year. FLOODING OF A COAL PIT. The Cambria Daily Leader reports a startling locident which has taken place at Dowlais. The facts of the !,080 are as follows : The Dowlais colliers working in the 4ft. pit, known as the "Pautvwain," wore terribly alarmed. Tho men in the lower seam suddenly noticed with fear the irruption of a stream of water into their cross heading, and this, violent at first, in a minute or two increased prodigiously, so that the run fcr life was the thought instantly presented to the mind, and at once toted upon. Down went the mandrilg; a veld cry arose that, going from heading to heading, speedily sent the ireful news into every part of the pit, And thtt men, just as they were, m an y na ked to the waist, dashed to the bottom of th e s h a ft , so me to the pouth of the levels, and by dint of the most frantic exertion of strength gained a place of safety just in time. But the narrow escape was forcibly shown by the fact that many of the men were for several seconds obliged to struggle through water nearly up to the top of their heads. There was a report that nine horses had boon drowned, but this is now contradicted, and one poor animal only,• but that a valuable one, was the victim of the flooding. The tabour of clearing the pit again will be a difficult one, and must take a great deal of time and money. PROJECTED FENIAN INVASION OF CANADA. Rumours are again rife that the F en i ans i n t en d t o ma k e another raid upon the Canadian possessions. The Detroit Post of May 23 says :—" For a m on th past t h e C ana di ans have been apprehensive of another raid upon their country by the Fenians. No paper in the int eres t s o f th e I r i s h i s permitted within the Dominion, and the only Fenian organ ever published in Ontario has been suppressed. Assassination is feared by all the prominent men, to prevent which strict surveillance is maintained by the police and regulars. The prevalent excitement has been greatly increased during the present week by the isoance of an order from headquarters, in Ottawa, to the military officers, to have their respective corps ready for active service at an hour's notice. The Government is said to be possessed of accurate intellige nce res p ec ti ng the movements of the Fenians, alid the conviction is almost universal among the knowing ones that another descent is imminent. Parties in Windsor conversant with the subject express this opinion, though they profess not to fear the blow, as they deem the Government abundantly able to ward it off. Nearly 100 soldiers have deserted from Fort Wayne during the past f ew months, and the affrighted Canadians imagine that all these deserters are Fenian spies." SHOCKING SHIPIVRECK. A despatch from her Majesty's consul at Valparaiso has been received at the Board of Trade, reporting the fol loawionog, brig lamentableonig t n s o hipes:--- The British ship Wal iss Liverpool, 1,434 tons register, laden with 2,400 tons of guano, left Chinchas, bound for Cork, for orders, under the command of Captain M`Grath. A month after she sailed there came on heavy weather, which lasted some days, and in consequence of her labouring so heavily in the seas, she sprang a dangerous leak, which defied the steam and m Lnual pumps with which the ship was fitted to keep under, and the result was that the captain and officers resolved to abandon her, and on the 2nd March they took to the boats, and left the ship in lat. 57 S. An Italian vessel, named blie Elvira Gienello, had hove in sight, a nd the captain agreed to take the crew on board. She then set sail, with the intention of making Valparaiso Harbour, which was out of his course, in order to laud them. On the 15th March the Italian barque r w iad he e n t , t coast in thirty miles to the south of Val. uP, fearful carried the ship on t o some rocks, where she beat heavily, while ebeo n calamity inied,tb bee current rr her. en t At eleven o'clock atnight,t a P n a d rai i s the course of ten minutes she broke up a total wre ck, and out of the two crews and passengers—ntunber ing fifty souls—only three belonging to Wallasee and seven of the Italian barque were saved. The Consul had provided the survivors with means to return to England. The number lost belonging to the Italian barque was seventeen. In order to prevent the reinfection of stations now under the operation of the Contagious Diseases Act, 1866, the Commander-in-Chief has issued an order that all regi ments, on arriving at the stations, shall be medically in spected ; and that diseased men shall be sent to hospital. The Conference being held at Manchester on the subject of trades' unions, in a discussion on foreign com petition, were unanimo us i n their den i a l o f t h e s t a t emen t that foreign countries were beating this nation in the pro duction of manufactured goods. THE Buns MONUMENT, EDINBURGH.—This monument, which contains many interesting relics of the pet, was last week handed over, in the name of the com mittee of the Edinburgh Burns Club, and others, to the Town Council, under whose care it will be in future. Two colliers, named Kidd and Monks, have been brought before the Leeds magistrates charged with acts of intimidation against men e m pl o y e d by Messrs. Garside, co lliery owners, of Y or k -road, in place of others w h o h a d struck. Kidd was ord ered to pay costs, an d was b oun d o ver to keep the peac e , and Monks was comm i tte d to pion for a month.

FATAL A I,AL ACCIDENT TO TH REESOLDIERS.—A melan choly occurrence has happ ene d in the island of Jersey—the working death by drowning of three sold iers, gunners in the Royal Artillery, who were s tationed a t Elizabeth Castle. It ex penses amounted ap pears that the three deceased men,. James Willet, George Sidworthy, and Charles Wood, left the Castle Barracks in a small boat belonging to the keeper of the canteen, intending They were all a t that time very drunk. to have an excursion across the ba y.

THANKS TO THE ARIIY IN ABYSSINIA.

REARDON AND THE LIBERAL PARTY. Mr. C. BENTINCK gave notice that on Friday next on going into committee of supply he should call the atten tion of the house to a letter written by the right hon. member for South Lancashire to a person unknown with reference to Mr. Reardon and the Liberal party. NO VA SCOTIA. _ _ Mr. BRIGHT gave notice that on the 16th he should call the attention of the house to a petition he had pre sented from Nova Scotia. METROPOLITAN POLICE. . . Mr H. LEWIS asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether it was his intention to lay upon the table of the house copy of the evidence taken by, and of any report made to, the Secretary of State for the Home Department by the committee appointed by him to . conduct certain inquiries into the man a gement of the me tropoli.an police? fir. HAIL DY said he did not intend to print the report as the inquiry was a departmental one, and looked upon as a confidential inquiry. RETIRING OFFICERS Captain MACKINNON asked the First Lord of the Admiralty if the statement contained in an article in the Army and Navy Gazette of the 16th of May, 1868, that the opinion of the law officers of the Crown in 1862 on the F. G. captains' reserved list was formed from a falsified copy of the Order in Council of 1851, which go verned that list, and that such alteration in the wording of the Order in Council misstated the case, as laid before the law officers of the Crown, and caused an adverse judgment to their claim, was true ; and, if so, did he in tend to persist in refusing the claims of those officers ? Mr. CORRY said he had inquired into the whole mat ter, and he was enabled to say that no such falsified list was at all considered. THE RITUAL COMMISSION. Mr. W. LESLIE asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how soon the Appendix to the Second Report of the Ritual Commission, which had been for some weeks in the hands of her Majesty's printers, would be de livered to the public? Mr. HARDY said he really could not say. It was a very bulky volume, containing over 1,700 pages. CLERKS OF THE PEACE. Mr. GORST asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether it was the duty of the clerks of the peace, on or before the 10th instant, to issue their precepts to the overseers of their respective districts, with general instructings for the proceedings of the over seers in reference to registro.tiou ; and whether it was possible to stop the issue of such precepts; or whether such precepts would have to be hereafter cancelled by the subsequent loss of fresh precepts, containing differentia- Unctions to the various overseers ? Mr. HARDY said the clerks of the peace had no power to alter the law, and, therefore, until Parliament repealed an act it must be obeyed. THE PUBLIC SUPPLIES—THE NEW PARLIA- MENT, • Mr. CHILDERS asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer for how many months of the present financial year it was intendel tb take the remaining votes in supply, including those to be reported this day ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was intended to take the supplies for the whole of the year. (Hear, hear.) That course had been taken when a go vernment, which was not the casa with the present one, was labouring under the carrying of a vote of want of confi !Once. He thought had he taken them only for nine months the greatest difficulty would be occasioned to the public service. It was only just that time should be givoi for those parties to register themselves under the new Reform Bill, and it was the great desire of her Majesty's Government to get the supplemen tary measures to the Reform Bill so forward as to enable all parties to take advantage of the 20th of July. He thought that, taking the most sanguine view of matters, and supposing all the supplementary measures to pass, it would be almost impossible for the new Parliament to meet except for a very few days before Christmas next—(hear, hear)— and that it would be some days before that Parlia ment could go into a committee of supply. He thought it would be fine steeringcould they surmountthe debate on the address, and then go into committee. Under such cir cumstances it had been thought advisable to take the votes of supply for the entire year—(hear, hear) and not for nine months. (Hear, hear.) It was a burning desire with the Government to got the Parliament dissolved (hear, hear)—ia order that the opinion of the couutry might be taken on a very important subject, iu order that they might be relieved from a state of thing's that had been rendered almost intolerable. (Rear, hear.) MORNING SITTING. In reply to Mr. IiANKEY . . . - • •/ Mr. DISREALI said the morning sitting to-m)rrow was one apart from the arrang , meut ho had put forth at the commencement of the session. Ho would give the house an opportunity of expressing its opinion on that point before any alteration was finally made. THE IRISH PRISONERS. Sir F. HEYGATE asked the Chief Secretary for Ire land whether there was any truth in the statements, copied from the Weekly Roos newspaper by the Irish cor respondent of the Times of the Ist of Juno, to the effect that the Crown solicitor, Mr. S. L. Ander son, offered John P. Murray £lOO sterling, with a Government situation in Ireland or the colonies, provided that he would give such information as would convict Col. Nagle and the other prisoners of the so-called Jackmel expedition? The Earl of MAYO said the assertion was totally and entirely false. (Hear, hear.) THE ASSASSINATION OF THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH. In reply to Colonel VERNER, Air. DISRAELI said he had not seen the paper to which he referred, but he had no reason for believing that the assassin of THE the Duke of Edinburgh was insane. SCOTCH REFORM BILL. The House then went into committee on this bill. On the motion that clause 6 stand part of the bill, Mr. GRAHAM said it was a great injustice to Scotla nd that the clause should be p ers i s t e d i n , b u t as opposition was useless, he and his friends must content themselves with entering their strongest protest against the clause, looking to the new Parliament for a remedy. The clause was then ordered to stand part of the bill. The LORD-ADVOCATE then brought forward the following clause to give the lodger franchise, in accord ance with the promise given to the hon. member for Kil marnock : —Every man shall, in and after the year one thousand eight hundred and sixty-eight, be entitled to be registered as a voter, and, when registered, to vote for a member or members to serve in Parliament for a burgh, who is qualified as follows (that is to say): is of full age and not subject to any legal incapacity ; and, as a lodger, has occupied in the same burgh separately, and as sole tenant for the 12 months preceding the last day of July in any year the same lodgings, such lodgings being part of one and the same dwelling-house, and of a clear yearly value, if let unfurnished, of ten pounds or upwards; and has re sided in such lodgings during the twelve months imme diately preceding the last day of July, and has claimed to be registered as a voter at the next ensuing registration of voters. Col. SYKES wished to know whether it was to be understood that any person paying ten pounds rent and not paying poor rates would not have a vote ? The LORD ADVOCATE signified in the affirmative. Mr. CRAWFORD said the clause would actuallly dis franchise a great many persons who now had the fran chise. _ The LORD ADVOCATE remarked that the franchise in the bill under consideration was not a substitute for, but an addition to, the franchise now in existence. Mr. D. M'LAREN said the clause was a disenfran chising clause, and so he strongly opposed it. The LORD ADVOCATE replied that those who at present possessed the franchise would not be deprived of it by the present clause. Mr. MONUREIFF had great doubt, nowithstanding the intention of the Lord-Advocate, whether the clause would not lead to much difficulty. Mr. BOUVERIE suggested that the best way to get out of the difficulty was to negative the clause, and then on the bringing up the report a declaratory clause could be added, stating that all lodgers paying £lO per annum shoat be entitled to vote. An hon. member suggested that there was no need to strike the clause out, as it could easily be altered to em brace the latter part of the suggestion of the hon. mem ber for Kilmarnock. This was done, and the clause was ordered to stand part of the bill. A clause to make provision for claims by persons im properly and erroneous exempted from the payment of poor rates was then considered and agreed to.
