SIR—It seems to have been assumed by some distinguished members of Parliament in recent de bates, that, in the event of dis-establishment of the Irish branch of the Church, the Anglican laymen in Ireland would alone possess (after the vested inte rests of the clergy are satisfied) a vested right to the ecclesiastical revenues of Ireland. The Refor mation statutes prevent, no doubt, the application of the Church revenues to other than Anglican uses, but yet do not seem to ignore altogether, but rather to hold in abeyance, the rights of Roman Catholics to a share in the revenues. Tithes are that portion of the produce of the industry of the cultivators of the soil set apart for sacred uses, and destined to be returned to the inhabitants of the parishes in the shape of religious services. The parishioners in common, not the landlords or tenants separately, are the parties intended to enjoy the benefit of titles and possess vested rights in the church revenues of their parish. The parishioners have vested rights in the tithes of their parish in the same way as they have vested interests in the taxes they pay for roads, police, and dispensaries. Were these latter taxes to be collected and spent out of the parishes which pay them:the grievance would be apparent. Now there are 199 p trishes in Ireland which do ❑ot contain a single member of the Established Church, and in which, with few exceptions, there has been no An glican Divine service since the Reformation. Those parishes extend over 557,000 acres, and are inha bited by more than 98,000 Roman Catholics, who produce (besides rent to the landlord and taxes to the Crown) more than £13,003 yearly of ecclesi astical revenue. The whole of this church revenue would be restored to the parish ioners were they to become Anglicans ; but at present it is spent elsewhere. There is not a single Anglican layman in those parishes to claim those revenues. The ruins of Roman Catholic churches exist in many of them, and in very many are modern Roman Catholic churches. To whom, it may be fairly asked, will the ecclesiastical re venues of these 199 parishes belong after the vested interests of the present Anglican incumbents are satisfied ? Again :—There are 107 benefices of the Established Church, inhabited by 1,452 Anglicans and 123,758 Roman Catholics. The Church re venues in those benefices exceed £20,000 a year, and are produced mainly by the industry of Roman Catholics. In each of those benefices there are, on au average, 13 Anglicans and 1,156 Roman Catholics. Have the 13 Anglicans vested rights to the entire of the parochial revenues, and have the 1,156 Roman Catholics no vested interests what ever in the fruit of their own toil, destined originally for their spiritual benefit ?—I am, &e., W.

A. writer in a contemporary says—Much has been written of late in the daily journals on the subject of increasing the inducements offered by her Majesty's Government to a better class of young men to enlist for military service. The debate in the house of Commons last week drew forth many advocates for the scheme of placing valuable clerkships in Government offices within reach of discharged soldiers of good character. But those who desire to see an improvement in the condition of soldiers and officers lose sight of a grievance that has been bitterly complained of. 1 allude to the unjust delays that occur in the payment of prize money. The British public generally imagine that the prize money won at the hazard of life and limb by the gallant officers and soldiers at Banda and Kir wee, though long delayed, has at length been paid to all claimants who shared in the capture, or, if dead, to their representatives. But such is, in reality, not the case. I have in my parish a lady, the widowed mother of a gallant young officer who was present with the Sappers and Miners at the capture of the Banda and Kirwee prize. He has now been dead some years. His father, also an old naval officer, who had served his Queen and country faithfully and well, has passed away; and now his widow, whose husband bled for his country, whose three sons diel holding commis sions in India, cannot obtain payment of the prize-money due to one of them for so many years, because the rolls of the Madras Sappers and Miners have not yet been re ceived in this country. Consequently all who served with the Sappers and Miners at Banda and Kirwee, the living and the legal representatives of the dead, are alike defrauded of their just claims. Is this no grievance ? Shame on the system that admits of such senseless delay! The rolls must be in existence, and could long since have been ob tained. Why is not justice done? Why is this prize -money withheld? Is there no member of the douse of Commons that will rise in his place and isk the questio4 ?

FORGERY BY A RAILWAY SECRETARY. Edward Bannister Callow, who was formerly secretary to the Elham Valley Railway, and who yesterday pleaded guilty to a charge of forging six cheques, for the sums of £lOO, 150, £75, £lOO, £175, and £37 10s. respectively, was placed in the dock foa sentence. On being asked what be had to say in mitiga tion, he said he had to throw himself on the mercy of the Court, and although he was charged with forging six cheques, he had, in fact, only done so in one instance, and that was not for his own per sonal advantage, but it was for the purpose of further ing the making a harbour at Seabrook, which would undoubtedly be of the greatest advantage to the railway. He had no intention of defrauding the company, and be had intended recouping the money obtained from the salary that was due to him for his services. The Recorder, on passing sentence, told the prisoner he had been placid in a position of great trust and confidence, and it was impossible to pass other than a severe sentence. The forgery amounted to over £6OO, and with respect to the allegation of money due for services rend red, that was denied by the prosecutors. The sentence of the court was that he be kept in penal servitude for 5 years. ROBBERY OF THE COMMERCIAL CLOTHING CDMPANY. Samuel Verlandar was indicted with stealing;and George Withers and George Peers with receiving, a quantity of clothing, the property of the com pany. The prisoner Verlander, who was in the employ ment of the company, was admitted as approver, and his evidence went to show that Peters intro duced him to Withers as a person who would buy clothes, and the robbery was the consequence. The jury returned a verdict of guilty, and a for mer conviction having been proved against Peters, the court sentenced him to penal servitude for ten years, Withers to four years', and Verlander to three months' imprisonment with hard labour.

ASSAULT ON AN EDUCATIONAL AGENT.—Herbert O'llonohoe, a tutor, was charged before Mr. Knox with being drunk and assaulting Mr. Fred. Bisson, educational agent, of No. 70, Berners-street, Ox ford-street.' Mr. Bisson said—At half-past four yesterday afternoon, the prisoner, who is a tutor; entered ray office, and asked me if there was any position for him. I told him that I had nothing to offer him, and he then began swearing. I told him that I did not allow swearing in my office, and that he must desist, but instead of doing so he made use of vio lent language towards me. I then told my clerk to remove his name from the list, and as hs refused to leave I sent for a constable. Before his arrival the prisoner advanced towards me and struck me, but, as I receded, fortunately I did not get the force of the blow. One of my clerks ejected the prisoner, and in doing so the prisoner, who was intoxicated, fell and hurt his eye. A con stable came and took the prisoner, and while on their way to the station he got away from the con stabl3 and tried to strike me again. I wish to state that I have no vindictive feeling towards the prisoner, and do not wish him punished, but only for him to keep from my office. The Prisoner—l admit I was under the influence of drink, but you never gave me any addresses. Mr. Bisson—Because I am a particular man, and you are not a respectable man. If you go into an office and misconduct yourself you will never get a situation. Au assistant to Mr. Bisson corroborated him. Sergeant Peel, E division, said the prisoner, who was drunk, tried while I was taking him to the station to strike Mr. Bisson. The Prisoner—l was irritated and not sober at the time. Mr. Knox—However bad the prisoner's conduct may be, if I convict him it will ruin him for the rest of his days. I think if I take the prisoner's own recognisance, it will be enough for the present. If the prisoner annoys you in any way again, Mr. Bisson, I will grant you a warrant against him. His conduct has been disgraceful, but I will give him one more chance. Take his own recognisance to be of good behaviour. _ _ _ CRUELTY TO A HoRSE.--Mrs. Rebecca Barnard, a sand dealer, of Moat-street, Battersea-fields, appeared to answer a summons taken out by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, charging her with cruelty to a horse, by working it in a totally unfit state, and Thos.Beales, a man in her employ, appeared on remand charged with cruelty in working the horse. The horse when first seen by Inspector Temper ley had a large sore on its back, extending nearly the whole length of it, and it had no use of one of its hind legs. Inspector Temperley said the defendant Barnard admitted sending out the horse, and that she knew it was in a bad condition for a month past. On his removing the saddle he found it saturated with the discharge from the wound. The defendant Barnard said she was compelled to send the horse out, being a widow and having a family. The magistrate said that he had frequently no ticed that in cases where women were owners of horses they did not know much about them, and nine out of ten did not care much for them. He should fine Barnard 10s. and costs, and Beales would be discharged by paying the casts. WESTMINSTER. EXTRAORDINARY CASE UNDER THE MARITAL CAUSES ACT.-Mr. W. D. Smyth, solicitor, ad dressing the magistrate, said—" I have an applica tion to make to you of a novel nature, under the Matrimonial Causes Act, for a protection order to be granted to Mrs. Mary Ann Elgar. An applica tion has been previously made to you and the mat ter adjourned. Hitherto it has been held that an order to entitle the wife to protection the husband must have bodily gone away from her. That was not the case in the present instance, and it is my duty to submit that it is not necessary it should be so to entitle the wife to the order, for as in the present case, where the husband renders cohabita tion unsafe by personal violence and threats, and sells up his home, avowing his determination not to live with her any more, he in effect drives her from his home, and virtually deserts her as much as though he left her bodily, all his conduct hav ing a tendency in that direction. I will prove he has repeatedly assaulted her, jammed her arm in a door, saying he meant to break it, and, holding a poker over her head, threatened to knock her brains out. He sold up the home, and she left the house from fear. I will also prove he told Mrs. Dixon that he bad broken up his home to get rid of his wife, and did not intend to live with her any more. Evidence of the above wasgiven, and Mr. Arnold, looking at the case quoted by Mr. Smythe, granted the order as prayed. THAMES. SUCKING THE MONKEY.—William Wilson, a dock labourer, who was in a deplorable condition, was charged with an offence which is cane.' in the port of London sucking the monkey. Spencer, a constable in the service of the London and St. Katherine Dock Company, found the pri soner last night on the wine quay dead drunk, and he had drunk so greedily that a quart of port wine came off his stomach when he was raised from the ground. Two well constructed tubes adapted for sucking wines and spirits from casks were found upon him. Both were stained with wine. The pri soner was very ill, and almost dead, and the dock company's servants had much trouble in recovering him. The prisoner, in defence, said he really did not know how he got drunk. Mr. Benson - -Why, by stealing wine and drink ing it. You were so greedy that, not content with a moderate draught, you drunk so much as to be come helplessly intoxicated. It is a most disgraceful robbery. What business had you in the London Dock ? The prisoner made no answer. Spencer—He had no business in the dock at all. He is not employed there. _ _ _ Mr. Benson said that he had no doubt the tubes were in the possession of the prisoner for the pur pose of stealing wine, and it was an offence contrary to law for any man to have them about him. lie sentenced the prisoner to one month's imprisonment and hard lab our, SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

THE INDUS VALLEY RAILWAY.—The Indus Val ley Railway is already emerging from the land of mere dreams. A Government committee has begun sitting at Kurrachee to dacide by which bank of the Indus the new line shall run. There is much no doubt to say for both sides, but the weight of advantage seems to rest with the right bank as far as Sukkur. It may cost a trifle more in the making, but it is certain to command a wider and more constant traffic through the adjacence of towns like Shi karpore and Sukkur, and of a military station like Jaco babad. A bridge at Sukkur would also be much more feasible than one at Zotree.-4 7 .1.en's .14ly D. TUE TEA. DUTY Is REDUCED —Hornimatef Pure Tea is sold 8d per pound cheaper.

Mr. Sleigh—l have to inform your lordship that Madame Rachel is present. to surrender according to the order of the court. She now attends with two fresh securities as bail, notice of which has been given to the solicitors for the prosecution. Mr. Thomas Austin Stack, of No. 14, New Church-street, Edgware-road, then stepped into the witness-box, and in, answer to questions from Mr. Sleigh said-1 carry on the business of a wholesale boot and shoe manufacturer, under the style of Powells and Co. I hold the premises on lease. I pay £45 per annum rent. I am certainly worth £l,OOO after all my debts are paid. I have never compounded or been insolvent. BY Mr. Montague Williams (for the prosecution) —I have known Madame Rachel for about fifteen years. I know the gentleman named as the other surety, Mr. Lacy; he is the lessee and manager of the Marylebone Theatre. I have not advanced him £soo,nor am I under promise to do so. I have known him since November or September last. Mr. Henry Richard Lacy—l am manager and lessee of the Marylebone Theatre. lam willing to become s surety for the appearance of Madame Rachel next session in the sum of £l,OOO. lam undoubtedly worth that amount after all my debts are paid. _ . By Mr. M. Williams—ln addition to a residence at the theatre, I have another at Belvedere, Kent. I have no acquaintance with Madame Rachel. My friend Mr. Stack applied to me, as an old friend, to ask me to be bound with him, and I consented. I have not been indemnified in any way. The Recorder—No undertaking of that sort has been given you ? Mr. Lacy—No ; my lord. Mr. M. Williams—Have you not had money transactions with Mr. Stack ? Mr. Lacy—Yes ; we have mutually obliged each other. I have never lent him a thousand pounds, but I have let him have £lOO or £2OO for a day or so, but those transactions have now ceased. My monetary matters closed with him last week. I have never borrowed £5OO of him to carry on my theatre. Stack had offered me £2,000 to take him in as a partner, and I have refused, because I have had a better offer. I have no accommodation paper out now that I am aware of. Mr. M. "Williams—l object, my lord, to the gentleman as bail. _ Mr. Sleigh—l say Mr. Lacy is a gentleman of the most substantial means. Mr. Lacy—l paid a premium of £l,lOO for the Marylebone Theatre. I have a lease of it for six years. I have been offered £4,500 for it, but I be lieve it worth over £6,000. Mr. M. Williams—Thought the question for the court was, whether the person who had merely been asked to become bail for Madame Rachel should be accepted, because he had been asked to do so. The circumstance of Mr. Lacy having a residence at Belve lore was quite unknown to them The Recorder—You should have asked for longer time. Mr. Sleigh—Madame Rachel has always sur rendered to her bail hitherto, and there is no fear of her absconding. had she desired to do so she has had ample opportunity. Mr. M. Willia , ns—The case is entirely in the hands of the court. The Recorder —One does not like to accept two persons as bail who have been engaged in accom modation transactions. Nix. Sleigh—The matter is simply for them to satisfy the court that they are in a position to be come bail. The Recorder—Each accommodated the other when wanted; that showed that each wanted it. We are entitled to something better than that. Alderman Rose—The Recorder informs me that I share his responsibility. Under such circum stances I object to the bail. Madame Rachel was then taken into custody until fresh bail was in attendance. The Recorder then retired, and on his return into court, Mr. Sleigh said there had been some unfortunate mistake with respect to Mr. Lacy, and he wished to make an explanation. The Recorder said he could not re-open the case. Mr. Sleigh—Mr. Lacy is a gentleman of large property. He has nothing at all to do with accom modation bills. • Mr. Stack—l feel it only just to say that Lacy has acted in the matter with - -- The Recorder—l cannot hear anything more. Mr. Stack—Mr. Lacy has never had recourse to accommodation bills. ___ The Recorder—l must request you to remain. quiet.

The house went into committee on this bill Mr °TWA I' moved an amendment to the effect that the salaries of the Indian Council should be X 1,200 instead of £1,500 as proposed by the bill. He thought the amount he proposed was quite ample for the work performed, and if the council was done away with he did not think India would suffer any loss, because all they had to do was to voto a ray the funds of India which they did lately in the most extravagant manner. As a proof of what he said he instanced the expenses of the ball given at the India-office some time ago, taken as it were out of the revenues of India, as most objectionable. Ho thought no reason had been given why the salaries should be increased. Colonel HARCOURT opposed the amendment, and hoped the Government would not consent to it. He was quite satisfied that it would be impossible to get compe tent persons to fill responsible offices without they paid them well for their services. Mr. MILL thought £1,200 with pension, and £1,300 without pension, was quite sufficient for the services per formed. Mr. HANKEY denied that the object of the bill was merely to increase the salaries of the India Council, it was a measure rendered necessary by the expiring of a former act of Parliament. He supported the original pro posal in the bill. Sir S. NORT lICOTE said it was necessary that per sons appointed to the council should be such as to com mand respect in India, especially as they had to advise the Secretary for India on most important matters. He hoped the house would not think .£1,500 a year to much for such important service. _ _ Mr. OT WAY did not see why the Secretary of State for India should have a couucil to advise him more than the Secretary for the Colonies. The house then divided, when there appeared-- For the amendment Against it Majority The debate was then suspended in accordance with the standing orders. THE BOUNDARIES BILL. The Lords' amendments to this bill were considered and agreed to. REPRESENTATION OF THE PEOPLE (SCOTLAND) BILL. The consideration of the Lords' amendments to this bill was postponed until to-morrow.
