These, however, were exceptions to the long life which is usually enjoyed in the peerage, for the average age of the 58 deceased lords is 67 years. The earldom of Cardigan has become merged with the inarquisate of Ailesbury, and the following nine peerages are extinct :—The earldom of Pomfret, and the baronies of Bayning, Cranworth, Dunfermline, Glenelg, Kingsdown, Llanover, Ponsonby, and Wensley dale. These have been far more than counterbalanced by the creations, which in so short a time have not been equalled since the days of Earl Grey and Lord Melbourne. Twenty-five new peerages have been added to the list, an average of eight every year. Ten were made by Earl Russell, viz. :—Earls Dartrey and Kimberley, Viscount Halifax, Lords Barrogill, Cler mont, Kenry, Meredyth, Monek, Northbrook, and Romilly. Twelve owed their elevations to Lord Derby:— Lords Brancepeth, Cairns, Colonsay, Fitzwalter, Hartle mere, Hylton, Kesteven, Lytton, O'Neill, Ormatbwaite, Penrhyn, and Strathnairn. Three patents have been issued by Mr. Disraeli :—The earldom of Feversham, the Viscountcy of Bridport, and the Barony of Napier. The mortality in the House of Commons has been con siderably less than that in the Lords. Only 22 membeis have died, viz. :—Mr. G. R. harry, Mr. Crossland, Mr. Dillon, Hon. J. C. Dundas, Lord Dunkellin, Sir M. Far quhar, Mr. Foot, Mr. F. D. Goldsmid, Sir B. Guinness, Mr. Ilanbury, Right Hon. H. Herbert, Mr. E. James, Colonel Lowther, Mr. Mackie, Mr. C. W. Packe, Lord Palmerston, Mr. Lort Phillips, Mr. Scholefield, Mr. Steel, Mr. Treherne, Colonel Lloyd Watkins, and Mr. Wick ham. The oldest member was Mr. Steel, 82; the youngest was Mr. Barry, 42. The average age of the deceased M.P.'s is 58. Changes from a variety of other causes have been very frequent. For instance, 23 mem bers h ave b ecome peers, either by succession or by creation, 19 have been unseated on petition, 12 have re signed their seats, and 12 have accepted jadgeships. Thus SS new members have been returned, while 50 others have been re-elected on their appointment to office. The numerous contests have had very little effect upon the balance of parties. The gains, however, have been on the side of the Liberals, and victories have been won in many constituencies of size and importance. The Conservative gains, fewer in number and less significant, were almost uniformly made in small boroughs. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. BEDFORD.—The Conservatives have selected Mr. E. L. O'Malley (son of the eminent Queen's Counsel) to join Captain Polhill-Turner in contesting the representation of Bedford against Mr. S. Whitbread and Mr. James 110 ward. CAIII3RIDGESHIRE. - At a numerouslyattended meeting of the County Liberal Registration Society, it was resolved to invite Mr. Brand, M.P. for Lewes, to be a candidate for the county in the Liberal interest, in conjunction with Mr. Richard Young, the present Liberal member. Mr. Brand has accepted the invitation. CIIIPPENHAM.-Sir John Neeld (C.) has issued an address stating that he does not intend to offer himself for re-election. Mr. Goldney (C.) will again come forward. HACKNEY.-A preliminary meeting - has been held, for the purpose of bringing forward Lieutenant-Colonel Dickson, of the Reform League, as Radical candidate for this borough. HASTINGS.--Both parties have commenced canvassing in this borough, the candidates being Mr. North (formerly for many years M.P. for the borough) and Mr. T. Brassey, jun. (Liberals), and Colonel Somerset Calthorpo and Mr. Clement Thruston (Conservatives). THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 28, 1868. MAELBOROUGH-STREET. WESTMINSTER. POLICE 1117TELL1GENCE.-THIS-D4Y. DISTURBING HOSPITAL PATIENTS.—J. Flaherty, in Irish labourer, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being drunk and disorderly at the Middlesex Hospital. Mr. Henry Custard, superintendent and secre tary of the Middlesex Hospital, said that, hearing a noise in the cmirtyard of the hospital, he wait out end found the prisoner, who was drunk, making a great disturbance, much to the annoyance of the patients, and threatening and trying to strike the porter. The sister of the hall accident ward came out and complained that the prisoner was disturb ing the patients, and as he refused to go away he ;ave him in charge. The prisoner said that Messrs. Holland and Hannen, the contractors, had some work going ou at the hospital, and he went to see Mr. Hall, the foreman. Mr. Tyrwhitt told the prisoner that it was shown that he was drunk. The prisoner said lie was not drunk. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the prisoner had no right to go to the hospital and make a disturbance and annoy the poor people who required rest, and he would have to pay a fine of 108. or seven days. STEALING PROVENDER. —Charles Wedge, horse keeper in the employ of Messrs. Ledstone and Scarlett, butchers in New Bond-street, and Fre derick Simpkins and Robert Brown, the former a carman and the latter a labourer, were charged before Mr.. Tyrwhitt with stealing a quantity of horse provender, the property of Messrs. Ledstone and Scarlett. It appeared from the evidence that Mr. Scarlett, having noticed the bad condition of one of his horses for some time past, and suspecting all was not right, communicated with the police, and Henry Dawson, an energetic officer of the C watched the prisoners, and succeeded in detecting them in stealing provender from the prosecutors, which ought to have been applied to their horses. Mr. Sayer, from the office of Messrs. E. Lewis and Co., Great Marlborough-street, who appeared for the prisoners, declined to address the magistrate on the prisoners' behalf, and Mr. Tyrwhitt com mitted them for trial. DISGRACEFUL OUTRAGE IN THE STREET.—Wm. Maguire, a powerful man, was charged with the following disgraceful outrage ; John Petit, waiter at the Royal Standard Music Hall, Vauxhall-bridge-road, said At half-past four o'clock yesterday afternoon I was walking along the Horseferry-road, Westminster, when the prisoner came up and hit me and knocked me down. Mr. Arnold—You w, re walking along the Horse ferry-road when this man came up and hit you and knocked you down. You must have seen him be fore cr something I should think. Complainant—lndeed, I had not. Ile was quite a stranger to me. I had never seen him before, nor spoken to him. I gave him no provocation of any description. After I got up from the first blow, he forced me down again, and then I defended my self. Mr. Arnold—Was he sober ? Complainant—lle was not, but he kept pitching into me after I persuaded him to go away. Williiam Thomas, messenger at the Chartered Gas Works—Defendant followed one of the men, and tried to pick a quarrel with him. He came into the works, and the watchman shut the gates ; then the defendant turned round and struck the complainant, who happened to be passing. Defendant, i❑ reply to the charge, said I—have just recovered from a bed of sickness ; I am sure I don't know what I was doing yesterday afternoon, but I feel that I must have been knocked about very much. Mr. Arnold—You seem to have knocked this man about very much tco. Defendant—l am very sorry, but I don't remem ber it. BRITISH lIIIN.ES. Cam. Cousol.

KtNG'S COUNTY.-Mr. King (C.) will not again contest this constituency. Sir Patrick O'Brien (L.) is expected soon to call on his supporters. MoNmournsmnE.--The Liberal committee have de. tided to bring forward only one candidate to contest this county—Colonel Clifford. It is said that in consequence of some difference between the Duke of Beaufort and Colonel Somerset (C.) the latter will retire, and the Marquis of Worcester (C.) will be brought forward in his place. DUMBARTONSIIIRE.—Mr. Campbell, of Edenwood, a nephew of the late Lord Chancellor Campbell, is about to offer himself as a Liberal candidate for this county. MID SURREY.—Mr. Julian Goldsmid, one of the present members for Iloniton, has offered himself as a candidate in the Liberal interest for this new division. WEST SURREY. —Mr. Frederick Pennington, of Broom Hall, Dorking, in response to a numerously-signed requi sition, has agreed to contest the seat, and Mr. Headworth Barclay will be invited to stand in conjunction with Mr. Pennington. It is believed that Mr. Briscoe, having lost the confidence of the Liberal party, will retire. EDINBURGH. --At a meting of the Conservatives of Lynn, it was stated on authority that Lord Stanley would not consent to stand for Edinburgh. EAST WORCESTERSHIRE.—Mr. Lyttelton (L.) will seek re-election for East Worcestershire. CHESTER.—In response to a numerously-signed requisi• tion, Earl Grosvenor (L.) will stand at the next election. DEWSBURY.—On Saturday an interview took place at the office of a prominent Tory solicitor, between some of members of the committee appointed to promote the elec tion of Mr. Ernest Jones and several local Conservatives. The object was "to agree upon a man who should unite the Conservatives and the advanced Liberals." BRIDPORT.—Mr. A. Goldsmid (C.), a barrister, will oppose Mr. Mitchell (L.)] WESTBURY.—Mr. Phipps, of Leighton House, West. bury, has consented to stand in the Conservative in• terest. SALISBURY. -Mr. Hamilton (L.), brother of the Bishop of Salisbury, has announced his intention of seeking re-election. He is in favour of Mr. Gladstone's motion for disestablishing the Irish Church. Mr. Marsh (L.) is also expected to come forward again. MARLBOROUGH. —Mr, Henry Baring has issued a fare. well address to the electors. He thinks that the Liberal party will no doubt gain a triumph at the next election, but believes that although they will be united for one great attack, they " will soon break off into various dis. cordant sections, requiring a leader of consummate tact and temper—qualities little recognised in him who is to be their head." HULL.—A meeting of the Hull Conservative Association was held on Saturday, when Mr. Baxter entered into an explanation of his political views. It was resolved that Mr. Baxter should stand in conjunction with Mr. Atkin son. Both the sitting members are Liberals.—Eastern Morning News. PRIZE TEMPERANCE TALES.—In compliance with urgent representations of the many intending competitors, the committee of the United Kingdom Band of Hope Union, who are offering £lOO and £5O for the best and second-best temperance tales, lxlve resolved that the time for the delivery of MSS. shall be extended to May 1, 1869. VISIT OF Mit. BRIGHT TO SCOTLAND.—Tho North British Daily Mail is informed that the member for Birmingham will shortly pay a visit to Scotland to the seat of Mr. T. B. Potter, Pitnacree, and is sorry to learn that Mr. Bright is suffering so considerably from the effects of his arduous parliamentary duties that he will require an uninterrupted course of relaxation and quietness to reno• vate his health. On Saturday morning, the powder mills of Dixon and Co., at Blackbeck, about six miles from Ulvorstone, were blown up, and nine mon lost their lives. It is not known in what manner the explosion originated. A farm house about 300 yards distance has suffered severely, every window being blown out and all the ceilings very much shattered. A young man ploughing not far from the place was injured by tho shaft of the plough being forced against his leg, and another man, who had his left leg broken at the last explosion, has again bad it fractured at the same place. Fivo of the bodies were found entire, though blown a con siderable distance. The others aro in small fragments. The Lord Chief Baron Kelly made some well timed remarks on the increase in the crime of perjury at the Lancaster Assizes, on Saturday. Edward Hall, a farmer's son, of Aldcliffe, near Lancaster, was convicted of perjury, and committed at the Lancaster Quarter Sessions, in April last, in an app ea l aga i nst an affiliation order. The Lord Chief Baron said that in Lancashire, as in the neigbouring county, the crime of perjury had acquired an extent and actual practice which had really become a subject of sorrow and shame to all con cerned in the administration of justice. His lordship sen tenced the prisoner to 12 months' imprisonment with hard labour. - Mr. Arnold—lt is impossible to allow this sort of thing because you please to get drunk. You arc committed for 14 days to hard labour. THAMES. CAUGHT NAPPING.—WiIIiam Stunt, 19, Cottage street, Poplar, costermonger, who is well known to the police, was brought before Mr. Benson charged with stealing a silver watch from the person of Francis Ward, a mechanic. Last night the prosecutor, overcome by the heat of the weather, fatigue, and a little drink, fell asleep on the steps of an ancient public-house called the Mulberry Tree, on Stepney-green. He was aroused by a police-constable named Skeates, who produced his watch and chain, and said, "Is this yours T, Prosecutor said it was. The police-constable had the prisoner in custody, and saw him over the prosecutor. On leaving he asked the prisoner what he had been doing, to which he replied nothing The constable said, "You threw him on the ground and before he could recover from his surprise took the watch from him." The prisoner, in defence, said he picked up Ward's watch and chain close to the horse-trough, opposite Mulberry Tree. Police-Sergeant Briden, 4 K, stated that the prisoner was a well-known thief, but a very luck one, and that he had been twice tried for highway robberies and ou each occasion acquitted. Mr. Benson did not think the prisoner was likely to escape again, and committed him for trial. A MALICIOUS SCOUNDREL.—George French, a cripple, aged 23 years, and who was described as a costermonger, of No. 29, Catherine-street, Lime house, was brought before Mr. Benson charged with wilfully and maliciously breaking a large sheet of plateglass, valued at £4, in the Devon shire Arms public-house, Brewer-street, Limehouse. The prisoner is a very disorderly fellow, and after taking advantage of his great misfortune by enlist ing the sympathies of the benevolent in his favour, he launched out in a career of disorder, brutality, and violence. He has been convicted for assaults, and several times prosecuted by that excellent in stitution. the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, for beating horses and donkeys in a savage manner. His convictions have had no effect on his temper. Last night, without the semblance of provocation, he took up a stone as he was passing the Devonshire Arms and hurled it at a plate of sheet glass, which he destroyed. He afterwards cut some grotesque capers, and gloried in the mischief he had done. Mr. George Leftwich, the landlord of the Devon shire Arms, said the glass was valued at £4 in the police-sheet. Its real value was actually £5 12s. It would cost that to replace it. Police-sergeant Briden, 4 K—The prisoner has been here repeatedly for assaults, beating animals, and other offences. The Royal Society has prose cuted him. The Prisoner—l don't care. Mr. Benson said the prisoner was a malicious and dangerous scoundrel to be destroying the pro perty of respectable tradesmen. He should not fine him, but send him to prison without the option of paying any penalty. Ile sentenced him to one month's imprisonment and hard labour. The Prisoner gave a malicious grin, and ex claimed, " Go it ; this is not the first time." SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE—This Day. GRAVESEND, Tuesday Morning.

THE TEA TRADE, July 27.—The deliveries iu Loudon estimated for tho week were 2 ,324,0641 b., which is au increase of 486,5271 b. compared with the previous statement. grievance. The reason of this failure is readily explained. The i.resent law on the subject involves two main provisions. The first is that Boards of Guardians are permitted to send children to certified schools of their own religion ; the second is intended to meet the case of unwillingness on the part of the Guardians to exercise this power, and provides that, upon a requisition by parents or kinsmen, the Poor-Law Board may interfere to compel the removal of children to such schools. The fact of such a power of compulsion having been granted at all proves that the Guardians cannot be left to themselves in the matter. In fact, four years ago application was made to twenty-seven Boards, re questing them to exercise their powers under the permissive provision we have mentioned, and to transfer the Roman Catholic children in their charge to duly certified Roman Catholic schools. Out of the twenty-seven Boards twenty-three absolutely refused, and four did not even answer the application. After such an experiment there can be no doubt of the temper in which the Guardians deal with this question, to whatever cause their perversity may be ascribed. To remedy this defect, a Committee of the House of Com mons, in 1864, recommended that the Poor-Law Board should have power to require the guardians to transfer children to schools of their own reli gion, " on application made and sufficient evidence afforded." When, however, an attempt was made to embody this provision in the Bill of 1866, an amendment was successfully carried which pre cluded any one except parents or kinsmen from making such an application to the Poor Law Board. But 60 per cent. of the whole number of children are either orphans or deserted ; and under the peculiar circumstances of the Irish population, to whom they chiefly belong, they have generally no kinsmen at hand to make applications for them. Very possibly their parents are new-comers from Ireland, and have no relations in this country, and when they die, or emigrate, or simply run away, there is no one to claim relationship with the children. The law, consequently, still remains inoperative with regard to more than half of the Roman Catholic children. These are still depend ent on the religious liberality of the guardians, and, under such circumstances, the statistics we have quoted above are not surprising. An amendment now stands for discussion in the Poor Relief Bill designed to remedy this defect, and to enable the law to effect its evident design. It simply embodies the recommendation of the Committee of 1864, and allows the Poor-Law Board to interfere on behalf of a child on the pro duction of sufficient evidence, even without the application of a kinsman. Combined with the clauses passed on Monday, according to which a " Creed Register " of the religion of every inmate of a workhouse will be open to the inspection of ministers of religion, this amendment would enable the Roman Catholics to watch effectually over the children of their own persuasion, and in all cases to obtain charge of them. Mr. Newdegate makes formidable demonstrations against these portions of the bill, but we are at a loss to see what rea sonable objection can be raised to the amendment, and we cannot doubt that it will be accepted by the House. In the first place, as we have said, it simply renders effectual the recommendation of a committee and the design of the existing law. There is no reason to fear the power being abused, since the Poor-Law Board will, of course, require sufficient evidence in each case of the religion of the child's parents; and, this danger being avoided, it is difficult to understand how any one can wish to hinder these poor children from being brought up in their own faith. Both English law and common justice require that the expressed or presumed wishes of a parent should be supreme in the education of children. What in the world is to be gained by manufacturing these little half starved proselytes we are at a loss to conceive. But it is done, and that, too, in many cases with numerous circumstances of petty tyranny. The complaint having been substantiated, it is our duty to interfere, and we may expect that now the facts have been made known, a keen sense of in justice will be roused among the Roman Catholic and Irish poor if we fail to protect them. We hope, therefore, that the next time this bill comes on the Amendments in question will be placed be yond the reach of danger. The result will simply be—first, that all children known or proved to be Protestants will ba brought up as Protestants ; secondly, that all children of whose religion no proof can be had will be presumed to be Protest ants ; and, lastly, that all children who are know n or may be proved to be Roman Catholics, will be brought up Roman Catholics. No arrangement could be fairer; and we may add that the Roman Catholics have established a right to have these children intrusted to them by the anxiety they have shown for their welfare. DUNABURGAND WITEPSK RAILWAY.—The traffic receipts on this company's lino for the month of June amounted to 103,363 roubles, against 72,417 roubles for June, 1867, showing an increase of 33,931 roubles, or nearly 30 per pent. THE RELIGIOUS EDUCAIION OF THE POOR. Alluding to the Count-out on Thurslay night, the Times says : The Cattle Market Bill was not the only piece of important business interfered with by the Count-out of Thursday night. The consideration of the Poor Relief Bill was to have been resumed in Committee, and clauses of some importance would have been discussed. On Monday night the Committee entered on the clauses of the bill, which ale designed to secure greater religious liberty to the inmates of workhouses, and, not withstanding a somewhat vehement opposition, the principle of these clauses was affirmed, and the first three or four of them were passed. As far as relates to adult inmates, the improvements pro posed by the bill are probably secured. A subse quent clause, however, is intended to protect the religious rights of children, and will probably re quire some watchfulness on the part of the friends of religious equality. A good deal of resistance has. been offered to similar provisions on some recent occasions, and it may be worth while to give a brief account of the fadts of the case. It may be remembered that some time ago Arch bishop Manning, in one of his addresses, drew a pathetic picture of the number of Roman Catholic children who were forced to abandon their parents' faith and were educated as Protestants. We ac knowledged that such a complaint was just in principle, but we expressed a certain scepticism as to the facts alleged. We confess we could not easily believe that any body of mea would find it worth their while to create such a grievance. Guardians of the poor do strange things occasion ally, but that they should deliberately transform little Papist paupers into Protestants was a charge which seemed to require some confirmation. We are bound to acknowledge that this confirmation has been furnished, and that Dr. Manning has distinctly made out his case. A Parliamentary return obtained last year shows that within the previous seven years as many as 10,000 Roman Catholic children have been received into the Metropolitan workhouses. Of these about 8,000 have been discharged, but the remaining 2,000 — to quote round numbers—had been transferred to district schools. These children, although known to be Roman Catholic, and so returned in answer to Parliamentary inquiries, are systematically edu cated as Protestants. It is probable that abput 1,000 of these children are in the district schools at a given moment, and the Guardians are, there fore, exercising the proselytizing powers of Poor- Law administration upon a thousand children in the metropolis alone, This is one of those facts which cannot be evaded. In the debate on Mon day several gentlemen laboured to show that the present law gave all the facilities necessAry for perfect religious freedom.
