Edward West was placed before the Lord Mayor, at the Mansion-house, charged with stealing four parcels of cloth. The prisoner was a lounger about the city ware houses, and had before been in custody. It ap peared that the cart of Mr. Paterson, carrier, of George-yard, Aldermaubury, was standing in Cheapside whilst some goods were being de liverei, and during the absence of the driver the prisoner went up to the boy in care of the vehicle and sail be had been sent by the carman for a parcel he pointed out. The package was given him, and he went:away with it, but it was very soon discovered that the prisoner had deceived the boy in order to get possession of the goods. The parcel contained four pieces of cloth of two yards and a half each, the wholesale price of which was 13s. 9d. a yard. The cloth was pawned at four different shops, and the sums obtained on each of the pieces were Bs., 7s. 6d., 65., and ss. The prisoner, on being taken into custody, gave such information that led to the recovery of the property. The Lord Mayor said it seemed to him that pawnbrokers did not care how the goods brought to their shops were obtained as long as they got a bargain. The cloth in question had been pawned for a sum not a quarter the wholesale price of it. The price asked upon it ought to have at once aroused suspicion. The Constable said the pawnbrokers gave every information, and delivered up the property at once. The Lord Mayor—Yes ; but that was after the matter had been found out. The prisoner said he was driven by starvation to commit the theft. The Lord Mayor told the prisoner it was not his first offence, and therefore he should send him to prison for three months with hard labour. MARKE7 S --2 MS DAY. METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

SHARE LIST. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. MARYLEBONE. Yesterday a meeting of the supporters of Mr. Thomas Chambers, Q.C., M.P., was held at No. 63, Gloucester-place, Portman-square, for the pur pose of considering the means to be adopted for securing the return of Mr. Chambers as one of the members for the borough at the forthcoming election. Amongst the numerous attendance of gentlemen were Mr. Alderman Salomons, M.P., Mr. J. N. Shaw, Mr. Ross, Mr. Furness, Mr. Seaton, Mr. Clement George, Mr. Silas Taylor, Mr. Newton, Dr. Smith, Mr. Buckenham, Mr. Moors, Mr. Mayho, Mr. Robinson, Mr. Shields, Mr. Jonathan Salter, Mr. Watson, &c. Mr. A. N. SHAW, who was voted to the chair, said they were not met to discuss the personal qualities of Mr. Chambers, whose character and prin ciples they were well acquainted with, but to devise the best means for returning that gentleman to Parliament on the most honourable footing to himself. He (the speaker) deprecated those professed Libe rals who thought the affections of the electors were to be purchased either by gold or silver, or by reck less promises, such as the opening of all places of amusement on Sundays, or supporting anybody who happened to be popular in everything, and came forward to divide the Liberal interests with out the ghost of a chance of success. (Hear, hear.) He believed the working classes were entirely with Mr. Chambers from the personal knowledge he had obtained by mixing with them. He had no fear for the result of the election, but he trusted every mem ber of the committee would be a little subcommittee with the object of returning Mr. Chambers without putting him to a great expense. He hoped they would not let their representative be able to say that he was returned after an enormous expense, but rather let the electors boast that they had se lected their own man, and to their honour would not allow him to expend a fortune in placarding the walls with his own merits which they were too ob tuse otherwise to discover. Mr. FURNESS moved the first resolution :---" That in view of the threatened contest at the ensuing election, the members of the committee severally pledge themselves to use their utmost exertions to promote the return ;of Mr. Thomas Chambers." He knew that the opinion of all those whose opinion was worth having was unanimous in favour of Mr. Chambers, but he advised them not to underrate the strength of their opponents, but to go to work in earnest. Mr. CLEMENT GEORGE, who seconded the motion, said his reason for supporting Mr. Chambers was the same for which he opposed him last time, viz., that he thought when gentlemen had been tried as members and had done their duty they should be supported. The motion having been carried, Mr. SHIELDS moved—" That it will be creditable to this great constituency and honourable to the candidate returned that the election should be con ducted on principles of purity and economy." Mr. Alderman SALOMONS, M.P., seconded the motion, which was carried. Mr. Ross regretted that Parliament had not made such arrangements as should do away with the necessity of putting their members to an enor mous expense as well as great labour. He did not wish to see their member bound hand and foot to any party, but there was a large party in the coun try trying to get the public places of amusement open on Sundays. This, if not a desecration of the Sabbatb, would be the destruction of the universal day of rest—(cheers) —and the very men who made so much noise on this question, crying out about liberty, were the men who did the most to deprive others of their liberty. (Hear, hear.) He moved that the Cavendish Rooms be at once taken as committee rooms. Mr. Moons seconded the motion, and said that the disaffected portion of the electors did not un derstand that both their members voted with Mr. Gladstone throughout on his Reform Bill, and only voted with the Conservative Government when it was necessary to do so to pass the Reform Bill. Mr. J. R. COLLINS stated that overtures had been made to him and to others to coalesce with Dr. Sandwith and throw Mr. Chambers overboard, but he had told those who made the overtures that they must go elsewhere. A Speaker asserted that to his knowledge a num ber of men had been paid to come from places not in the borough at all for the purpose of disturbing the meetings of Mr. IL Lewis and Mr. Chambers. The "notion havi ng of a central committ ee - room , been carried for the selection Mr. CHAMBERS said he stood before them in a very different manner to that in which stood before them in 1865, when his name and character were almost unknown. Upon the question of Reform he repeatedly and so l emn ly stated that he would supporGovernment t themost wliobuelrdalbrming in. When he madeeasure of Reform that that pledge it never occurred to him to qualify it by saying " that any Liberal Government would introduce," and he could not anticipate that he would be called upon to redeem his pledge under such circumstances as those of last session. (Hear, hear.) Having made the promise it was a question of personal integrity for him to keep it, and he could not have stood before a meeting of gentlemen without blushing if he were obliged to confess that, as the circumstances were different to those he had anticipated, he had not fulfilled his promise. He had no alternative but to redeem his promise, even though a Conservative Government introduced the bill. Upon every division on Mr. Gladstone's Reform Bill both Mr. Lewis and him self voted for it, but when Mr. Gladstone resigned, and the Conservative Government introduced a bill he voted so as to secure a Reform Bill. (Hear hear.) Having referred to other matters in his Par liamentary career, he said he relied for his return not upon machinery, but enthusiasm. lie should stand entirely and absolutely alone in the contest, and should not coalesce with any one. Mr. HOBBS pledged the support of a powerful organization of working men, who were so deter mined to maintain their day of rest intact, that, if necessary, they would plump for Mr. Chambers. The meeting then separated. Last evening Mr. Thomas Chambers, Q.C., M.P., held his first public meeting of the electors of the borough of Maryiebone at the St. Pancras Vestry-hall, for the purpose of explaining his views as a candidate for re-election as one of its members. Mr. Churchwarden F urniss was called to the chair, and the vast hall was densely crowded. The Chairman having briefly opened the meeting, Mr. CHAMBERS presented himself to address the meeting, and was cordially received. It would be ridiculous to suppose that he was in p er fe c t con formity with everybody in that meeting, but be fore they separated it would not be his fault if they did not understand upon what points they differed. He would ask them to recollect what he stated when he first came before them. lie was called upon to express his opinion on Parliamentary Re form, and although he never prepared a speech in his life, there was one sentence which he did pre pare and repeat to every meeting which he addressed verbatim. Ile told them he would not pledge him self to support any individual, because only a Go vernment could carry a Reform Bill ; but he would give them a pledge by which they could bind him as tightly as it was possible to bind him, and that pledge was this—l will support the most liberal measures of Reform which any Government will bring in. (Cheers.) He said it honestly, he said it earnestly, he said it repeatedly, and he had kept his promise. (Cheers, and cries of " No, no.") There was not an elector of Marylebone who could come and tell him that he had not kept his pro mise. It was not a question of opinion, it was a question of feet. The first opportunity that was given him of redeeming his pledge was by the Liberal Government. Lord Russell's Government brought in a bill, and in every division both the members for Marylebone voted with Mr. Glad stone. He found that many had made a mistake, and imagined that on some division the members for Marylebone voted against Gladstone's bill. That was au utter mistako, and they owed it to mum' honesty to acknowledge the mistake. Then came the unfortunate affair of the Cave of Adullam. (A Voice —" Wasn't you in it ?") No, he was not in it. (Cheers.) (A Voice—" Wasn't your colleague in it ?") No, he was not. The Government after failing to carry the bill resigned, and a Conservative Government came in. When he gave the pledge he had referred to, it never occurred to him nor to anybody else to qualify it by saying he would sup port the most liberal measure of reform which any " Liberal" Government would bring in. Was he bound by his pledge? He was, and he had no alternative but to fulfil the promise he had given, and he voted for the Government Reform Bill, which was the most liberal that was ever proposed. He voted for the bill with all its objectionable clauses, because he knew that those who could kill the bill could also improve it. (Cheers.) Then there was th;; Tea-room party, and although he was not in the Tea-room he believed those Liberals who voted with that party carried the Reform Bill in which they were all rejoicing. (Oh, oh.) Did any one doubt that? (A. Voice— " Yes, all of us ;" and cries of " No, no.") Did any one say if they had not voted for the 'bill that it would have hem carried ? It was his duty to keep the bill alive. (A. Voice—" And the Govern ment too.") NeVer mind the Government, he would rather have the bill out of the teeth of their oppo nents than otherwise. (Cheers and uproar.) If they bad considered party instead of principle, they would have had to wait another seven years for a .Reform Bill. On public and private grounds it was necessary that the bill should be carried. If any one doubted this, he would ask if the bill was worth having. (No, no.) Mr. Chambers, in response to this cry, read a letter, signed by Mr. lla.rtwell, inviting him to a banquet and demonstration at the Crystal Palace in honour of the passing of the Reform Bill, and then said if the working men did not think the bill worth having, every mouthful they ate at the banquet ought to have choked them. (Cheers ) With respect to the Irish Church he voted with Mr. Gladstone on his resolutions. He was a most pro nounced Protestant, and although he was sorry to cause pain to those who felt strongly in favour of the Irish Church, yet he felt that Church had not fulfilled its mission and was a mistake. He re gretted the great üblic expenditure, but it could not be reduced without the reduction of their arma ment. Only a Government could reduce that, and he must say that Mr. Gladstone was a most econo mical Minister. (Hear, hear.) As a friend of peace he rejoiced with them all in the success of the Spanish revolution—(cheers)—for the Bourbons had caused more bloodshed than any dynasty that ever existed. (Applause.) The hon. gentleman, having expressed his willingness to answer any questions which might be put to him, resumed his seat amidst general applause and some slight in terruption. In reply to questions, the hon. member said he had supported the ballot, and was prepared to do so again. As to the vote he gave in favour of the con tinuance of the ratepaying clauses in the present Reform Bill, he did so because it was a principle which, if not carried, would have endangered the Reform Bill, and he had voted for the Government because he desired to keep the bill alive for the benefit of the people. As to household suffrage in the counties, it was a difficult question, but he would follow his party. (Cheers, and oh, oh.) He would vote for the protection of the funds of trade/6' unions for legitimate purposes. As to the game laws, he did not know what they meant (ob, oh) —but if it meant that armed men were to be permitted to poach about at night with impu nity he was not in favour of that. With respect to the licensing system, it would doubtless come be fore the next Parliament with a Liberal Govern ment disposed to give the people the greatest con trol in the matter, and his support would be given to such a measure as would give a better arrange ment than that which existed. He was in favour of the reduction of the public expenditure, but only a Government could effect that. He would support any proposal with respect to the Prince of Wales's allowance which the Government con sidered necessary for the position and dignity of the country. He would not support manhood suffrage. If any inequality were pointel out in the rates, and a remedy proposed, he would support it. lie was in favour of religious duality. As a lawyer, he was of opinion that women:had no right to vote ; anl as a member of society, he was of opinion that it was for the interests of them all that they should not. Ile not in favour of the opening of museums, &c., on Sunday, and he was not prepared to move for legislation for shutting up Kew Gardens and stopping cabs and trains:on Sunday. He was in favour of the preservation of commons and open spaces in the metropolitan district. Mr. JONATHAN SALTER (churchwarden) moved a vote of confidence in Mr. Chambers, pledging the meeting to support his return. During Mr. Salter's speech a few boys in the gal lery indulged iy catcalls and exposed a placard of Dr. Sandwith',. They were the same boys who have disturb/d previous meetings. Mr. BuryoN seconded the motion. An amendment in favour of Dr. Sandwith was lost by an overwhelming majority, the bulk voting in favour of it being boys. The original motion was put and carried amidst great enthusiasm. ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS.

Morgan Howard, one of the candidates for the representation of this borough in Parliament, addressed a crowded meeting of the electors, chiefly composed of the working classes, at Wilcocks' Rooms, Westminster-bridge -road. Mr. JAMIESON having been voted to the chair, briefly introduced Mr. Howard to the meeting. Mr. HOWARD then rose to address the meeting, and was received with much applause. He said that this was the first time he had had the opportunity of addressing himself more especially to working men. He stated that be was an advocate for the equalisation of the poor rates, as he considered that the present system pressed most unjustly and se verely on the poorer . parishes of the metropolis. (Cheers.) In respect of the question of education, he held that the Bible ought to be the groundwork of all education, and that it should be used in all their schools. There was one question on which he particularly wished to make himself understood. It had been said that he wished to shut up public houses on Sunday, and that he was a supporter of Mr. John Abel Smith's bill. He most distinctly stated that he had no such intention. For any man, or any body of men, or for any Government or House of Commons, to say that while the public-houses were opened on the Sunday for the benefit of a very large class of the community, they were not required to be kept open on the Sunday for them, and that therefore they ought to be shut up, was a species of tyranny to which no party or class of men ought to submit ; and he hesitated not to say that the man who could fritter away his time in the concoction of such a project must, to say the best of it, be hard up for . topics on which to exercise his legislative talents (Cheers.) It was said that the working classes could get what they pleased into their houses on Saturday night, so that they could have what was necessary on the Sunday ; but while that might be all plain and palpable enough to the parties who made the suggestion, it would not at all suit the classes he had alluded to. They had not the opportunity of adopting such a system, and to attempt to enforc it upon them by legislative enactment was about one of the most ridic lions nostrums which even the Radical party had ever suggested. (Loud cheers.) He had been sonuwhat thisrepre sented on this point, and he wished to put himself right. He had been represented to say that rather than shut up the public-houses on Sunday he would open the museums. W hat he did say was, that he would neither shut up the public houses on Sunday nor would he open the museums on that day. The Sabbath was the Sabbath, or it was not. It was divinely instituted, or it was not. He believed that it was divinely iustituted, and th it being so it ought to be reverenced ; but that did not imply that it should be kept as a day of misery and gloom. It was a day of rest for the worship of God as well as for the social recreatiehot the people, and there fore he would not deprive the people of the means of social recreation by legislative enactment. Several questions having been put to Mr. Howard and satisfactorily answered, a resolution was adopted approving of the principles he had enun ciated, and promising him support. HACKNEY. Last evening Mr. Reed addressed a crowded meeting at the New Town-hall, Hackney—Mr. G. B. Woolley presided, and introduced Mr. Reed as being a candidate equalled by few, surpassed by none. Mr. REED, who was received with loud cheers, said he regretted very much to have to run a neck and neck race with :nen of the same party ; he would much rather have a fair stand-up fight with the l'ory c tndidate. He wished to see him and hear the programme of the Carlton Club, so that he might learn wh Lt was the policy of Mr. Disraeli. Mr. Reed then dwelt at great length upon the necessity of doing justice to Ireland, showing at great lnigth the evils endured by that unhappy country, quoting largely from the report of the Irish Commissioners—show ing that they recommended to a grelt extent the cure that Mr. Gladstone prescribed in full. He would recommend that surplus funds arising from the disestablishment, not strictly Church property, should be devoted to the purposes of educating the children of Irish parents, the introduction of manu factures, and the drainage of the country. Mr. {teed then spoke on the home questions now agi tating the public mind, and said that the rate-pay ing clauses of the new bill must be repelled, vote by ballot introduced, and a redistribution of elec toral pOwer provided for. Mr. Reed spoke with indignation of the safeguards introduced into the bill. What they must have was household suffrage pure and simple. Taxation must be reduced, ex travagance prevented, and the glaring evils and waste in Government expenditure looked after more closely. We wanted another Joe Hume in the House. Mr. Reed's views upon these and other topics were received with loud cheers. A vote of confidence, proposed by Mr. BOWSER, seconded by Mr. HEATH, was carried by acclama tion. CHELSEA.—On Tuesday evening, the Gth inst., Sir Henry A. Hoare addressed a very largo and in fluential meeting of electors at the Drill-hall, Col lege-street, Fulham-road ; Dr. Daniell in the chair. Sir Henry spoke for an hour on the Im perial and local topics of the day, and was loudly cheered throughout his speech, and at its close re ceived quite an ovation. A resolution pledging the meeting to support Sir Henry was carried by acclamation. Sir Henry afterwards addressed a meeting in the Stanley Ward, where he received the same hearty support. GREENWICH.—Last night, at eight o'clock, Al derman Salomons, M.P. for the borough of Green wich, addressed a crowded public meeting of his constituents, residing at Woolwich, Charlton, and Plumstead, at the Lecture Hall, Woolwich. After some remarks from the chairman, the worthy alderman recapituated his views on the most important public questions of the day as at a pre vious meeting held at Greenwich, and expressed his intention of again supporting Mr. Gladstone with regard to the disestablishment of the Irish Church. Various questions were then asked and replied to in a satisfactory manner, and a resolution pledging the meeting to support was unanimously adopted. WEST KENT.—On Tuesday evening the Liberal candidates for West Kent, Sir John Lubbock, Bart., and Mr. Angerstein, addressed a numerously attended public meeting of the electors at the school-room, Ingress-vale, Greenhithe. The chair was occupied by Mr. J. B. White, and a resolution pledging the meeting to support both candidates was unanimously adopted. CIIESTER.—A fifth candidate is announced for the city of Chester. Dr. Bedford, the well-known physical astronomer (recently alluded to in un parliamentary terms by Professor Pepper in his Lenten Lectures at the Polytechnic) is announced as a candidate in the Liberal interest. Dr. Bedford resided for some years at Chester, and made himself popular in connection with the exposure of certain. Poor-law abuses, he being a member of the Board of Guardians at the time. lie contested Reigate some years ago in the Liberal interest. THE REGISTRADON COURTS. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. —This Day.

D. Chambers, allowed 48 more ladies theprivilege of the franchise, whose nameswere placed on the lists by the over seers, and he (the barrister) contended that he possessed no power to strike them off, no objection having been made against them. At the Ramsgate court last week Mary Ann Bailey claimed to vote for the county in respect of occupation of premises situate in the,division of the county, aid attended in person to support her claim. After long arguments, the barrister delivered a decision against the claim, which was consequently struck out. Eighty-one females are entitled to vote in East Kent and thirty- three at Ashford. RAID ON BETTING MEN AT LlVERPOOL—Hood street, Liverpool, has long been a resort of the betting and book-making fraternity. On Tuesday the police there arrested four men, who were yesterday charged before the stipendiary that, being, on the 6th of Octoter, persons assisting in conducting the business of a certain place in Hood street, within the borough, then and there opened, kept, and used for the purpose of other persons betting therein upon certain events and contingencies of or relating to horse races, they unlawfully did receive of and from a certain person certain money, to wit, the sum of 55., as a deposit on a certain bet, on condition of paying a certain sum of money to the said person, on the happening of a certain event and contingency of or relating to a horse race. Additional warrants charged the prisoners with as sisting in conducting the business of a certain place in Hood-street, then and there opened, kept, and used for the purpose of other persons betting therein upon certain events. They wei =maul 921 bail till to-day. MARYLEBUNE. Mr. J. N. Goren has now completed the laborious revision of the list for this borough, the parish of Marylebone proper being the last cleared from the list. At the closing sitting at the Court-house, Marylebone-lane, an interesting question was brought forward. Alfred John Christie, schoolmaster, claimed for four rooms at 141, Cleveland-street. In answer to the barrister, the applicant said the house in which he lived was close to the school, and was joined to it by a passage. Ile occupied the rooms from the committee of the school, and they were considered as part of his salary. Although he could not leave those rooms without applying to the committee, he believed there would be no objection to his living in the next street, if he wished to do so, and he could perform his duties at the school just as well if he lived 20 miles away. The barrister thought there was a serious ques tion as to whether the applicant did not occupy the rooms as a servant, and at the will of the committee. ➢lr. Parson, who supported the claim, urged that the claim was a good one prima facie, and according to the rule adopted by the Court the claim could not in the absence of an objection be struck out. The barrister said he should have liked to exa mine some representative of the committee of the school, but as the applicant said he might reside apart from the premises, and it was no part of his duty to reside on the premises, that was the only evidence that could then be acted on and the claim would be allowed, but he did not by: any means admit it as a precedent. On the business of the :registration being con cluded, Mr. Parson said that on behalf of himself and the other Conservative agents he begged to tender his best thanks to the revising barrister for the kind and considerate manner in which he had performed his arduous duties. The lodger fran chise had imposed au immense amount of labour on the revising barrister, but Mr. Goren had devoted himself to the task with the evident desire to do his duty to all claimants alike, and he hoped that an other year might be fortunate enough to have his services. _ _ Mr. Bontems entirely concurred in what had fallen from Mr. Parson. He had attended many registration courts, but had never met a more im partial revising barrister, orimore courteous gentle man. Mr. Spencer, on behalf of the working classes, sincerely thanked the revising barrister for the trouble he had taken to enable them to put their claims upon the register, and hoped that on a future occasion, when they were better acquainted with the Act of Parliament, they would not give so much trouble. Mr. Goren was pleasel to hear he had given sa tisfaction. It had been his desire to his duty, and from the kind expressions that had been used to wards him he believed he bad succeeded. He should be very pleased another year to meet the same agents again. _ We may add that Mr. Goren is fully entitled to the compliments paid him, for not only have his judgments been so free from political bias on all occasions, as to render it impossible to say what his political opinions really are, but he has often gone beyond his duty, in order to give the public an op portunity of scrutinising his decisions. The representatives of the Working Men's Asso ciation state the following to be the result of the registrations, as far as they are concerned :—Pad dington—Claiws, 428 ; sustained, 281 ; lost, 147.
