POLICE INTELLIGENCE. -THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREE r. A MALANCHOLY CASE.—Elizabeth Burton, a poor needlewoman, without a home, was charged before Mr. Knox with attempting to drown herself in the Serpentine. Mr. Thomas Charles, fishmonger, of 30, New land-street, Pimlico, said—Last night about ten o'clock I was crossing the Serpentine bridge from Kensington to Oxford-street, when I noticed the prisoner leaning over the parapet, and heard her say—" I will do it ; my life's my own." I immediately caught hold of her and pulled her back, and said, " You shall not do it to-night." I then called for assistance, but no one c ►me to help .At last assistance did come, and on the way to the stutron she said that she was tired of her life; that she had friends who were respectable people ; and that she had been in an infirmary, and c.tme out, that morning. The poor woman appeared in a miserable state. Police-constable Belcher, 213 A, said Last night, about 10 o'clock, on getting near the Maga zine in Hyde-park, he saw the prisoner lying on the ground, and Mr. Charles and a number of other persons round her. Mr. Charles told him that the prisoner had attempted to throw herself over the parapet of the bridge, and that he had prevented her doing so, and he then took her to the station. The prisoner said she had some friends in Hollo way and St. John's Wood who were well off. Mr. Knox said he would have the poor creature sent to the House of Detention for a week, where she would be taken care of, and be spoken to by the c haplain, and he consid ere d every one was in debted to Mr. Charles. THAMES. 'r im SMOKE NUISANCE ACT. ._Mr. Augustus William Johnson, proprietor of the extensive scrap iron works at Millwall, Poplar, appeared before Mr. Benson to answer a summons taken out by Inspector Allison of the 1 division of police, by order of the Home Secretary, for using furnaces so constructed as not to consume thin own smoke. Mr. Sandison, the Government engineer ap pointed to carry out the Smoke Prevention Act in London, said the defendant's works were the largest of the kind in London, and the chimney shaft belonging to them 140 feet high. He believed it was the desire of the defendant to comply with the requirements of the act, anti that he was now engaged in constructing an apparatus for the con sumption of the smoke engendered in the furnaces. Mr. Johnson said he had already expended £4OO in the alterations of his furnaces, and the apparatus already erected was acting successfully. All his furnaces were not yet supplied, and he wanted a few weeks time to .complete the work. Mr. Sindison had no objection to allow ten weeks. _ _ Mr. Benson—ls that enough ? Mr. Johnson—l think it is. Mr. Allison stating no objection, and the de fendant promising to do all he could to prevent his chimney-shaft vomiting black smoke to the annoy ance of his neighbours, the required time was granted. THE LATE IMPOSITION ON THE MARQUIS TOWN SHEND.—AngeIina Pike, a well-dressed girl. of 13, was brought before Mr. Benson by her mother. She was found by the Marquis Townshend seated on the step of a door in the Commercial-road, and apparently in great trouble and want. She imposed an artful tale on the Marquis that both parents were dead, the father for three the mother for two years, that she had been employed by a dressmaker, afterivards procured a precarious living by singing in public-houses. At the request of the Marquis of Tonnshend she was sent to the Stepney Union-house at Bromley until inquiries could be made about her. She was soon claimed by her parents, who are people in good circum stances. They had used her well, but having oc casion to scold her for some disobedience she ran away from home. Mr. Benson said the girl was originally brought before him as a vagrant by the Marquis Townshend, from motives of kindness and compassion, and she. \ was charged with being found wandering awl not having any home or settled place of abode or proper guardianship or means of subsistence. The noble Marquis did not wish the girl to he punished. The girl had craftily invented a romantic story, which was a tissue of falsehoods, lie was sorry to find a girl so young was so wicked and crafty. She had brought great disgrace on herself by the deceit she had practised. The marquis then directed the mother to take her home, and hoped she would be a good girl in futuro. There was nothing to find fault with in the treat ment of the girl by her parents, and she had no ex- Cuss for running away. 17 LI E SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JUNTA; in, ISGS, SHARE LIST.

A feeling of great anxiety is coining over the agricul tura,' mind in consequence of the long continuance of hot and very dry weather. The bright prospects of the pre mature summer of April are fast disappearing, and thy utter absence of all appearance of rain causes a very gloomy view of the future. Every part of the country is suffering alike from drought, and on the hills, where dependence is placed on tanks and ponds, there is now no water, and stock has to be driven for miles, or water led. It is stated the season has not been so forward and so dry since the year 1826. The rainfall is remarkably small, sliming at the Malton station, January, 2'21; February, I'l2 ; March, I'B4 ; April, 1'66 ; May, 1.59 ; and June (to the 14th), 0'12; equal to a fall of only 8h inches for nearly half the year, the yearly average being 26 inches. This small fall, too - , includes two thunderstorms, both heavy, but local, one of which did not reach the wolds at all. At Malton, the Pcrwent is so short of water that the southern bed of the river is dry land, and people can cross to the island. For some days the temperature in the shade has ex ceeded 80 deg. The effects on the crops and stocks are these :—The clover and hay crops have rapidly ripened--•- all are ready together, and are ready for cocking almost as soon as cut. They are forward, but light, especially hay, which has gone up in Price greatly. The " fog "in the grass fields is nil. After the removal of, the hay they are as brown as possible—quite burnt up. All lean stock, both sheep and beasti, have consequently fallen in price, there being no demand. The after-grass will take, some time to recover itself. Farmers all complain that although wheat is ,so early it has shot small in the ear, and is short in the straw, and oats and barley are particu. larly short. . There is not much complaint as to peas and beans, but potatoes (early) are very small. The winter crop want rain badly. The drought and the fly together have destroyed whole fields of turnips, and on the wolds a great part of the crop will have to be resown, and on the heavy lands the hard baked clots have prevented the sowing of the crop at all so far. Agricultural prospects are, there fore, not the most cheering just now. Prayers for rain were offered up in the Malton churches on Sunday. HOME TEACHING FOR THE BLIND. The anniversary meeting of the society for this object, in connection with which is the Alexandra Institute for training and employing the blind, was held at Willis's Rooms on Monday. Colonel Rowlandson occupied the chair. A somewhat novel feature at these meetings, and one that by no means detracts from their interest, is that the majority of the audience are those whose afflictions and necessities have brought them within the scope of the society's operations, the " visitors" being confined to the centre seats ; and amongst them were obviously many of the relatives and personal friends of those who bad been benefited by one or other of the affiliated societies. The object of the Home Teaching Society is to teach the blind to read by means of an ingenious system of raised letters, the form of which can be felt with the fingers. It also provides free lending libraries of books printed in this raised type. During the last nine years, by means of eight home teachers, seven of whom are them selves blind, upwards of 800 blind persons in London have been taught to read. The object of the Alexandra Institute is to afford the blind industrial training and employment without separating them from their homes ; to provide work and sale for their work for the able bodied and industrious blind, and thus to supplement the schools for the blind. The chairman called attention to thebeneficial effects of the Society's operations, especially in teaching the blind to read the Bible, and mentioned some instances of persons who had lost their sight very means of the system of • dats Moon's system. Several b he society were delivered, plartientiii addresses l g i fe f uo b rr e gt i ih n n e g g t tb a hll u en g cd h l t aki t nm o osl r v e on a f and afterwards the 540 - blind persons now being benefited by the society were treated to tea at Messrs. Basil Wood and Sons' gallery in Bond-street. The report stated that a legacy of £5OO left by a lady had relieved the society from debt ; but the subscriptions were inadequate to the demands upon the institutions. THE BIE,MINGIII.II HOME AND HOUND SI1017.—• This popular exhibition, which is announced to be held at Bingley Hall, Birmingham on the 23rd, 24th, 25th, and 23th instant, bids fair to be even more attractive than in former years. The entries, which show an increase in numbers, amount to upwards of 250, and will include many of the celebrities exhibited at the late show in Islington, amongst which may be named the winners of the mile trotting mat c h and t h e p i e b a ld pony which was so admired by the Princess of Wales. A DEFAuLTER CAPTURED.—In the course of last month an individual, about 35 years of age, named John M`Fie, supposed to belon g to the neighbourhood of Glas gow, absconded from Walsall, where he had been employed as a traveller by the commercial firm of John Shannon and Sons, taking with him £4OO of his employers' money. A reward of £5 having been offered for the apprehension of the delinquent, and copi es o f his photograph forwarded to various police establishments, amongst others to that of Rotbesay, where it was lselieved he had relations, the constable there, having observed him, a few days ago, landing at the pier from a steamer, had his movements closely watched, and on Saturday he felt warranted in taking him from a respectable hotel, while irk the act of regaling himself, and placing him in durance vils. • THE COUNTESS OF DERWENTIVATER AND HER CLAIMS.—in accordance with previous arrangement, a num ber of gentlemen, inhabitants of Blaydon and the district, assembled at the house of Lady Amelia Matilda Mary Tudor Radcliffe, who is at present residing at Blaydon-on- Tyne, for the purpose of further investigating the validity of her ladyship's title as heiress of the Derwentwater estates and dignities. The documentary evidence in Lady Amelia's possession was perused, and several of the curious and ccstly heirlooms were minutely inspected, the survey elicit incident to a long series of year s, t he ing surprise and a d m i ration. It i s a ma tt er of calculation how, in the changes numerous relics of th e Derwentwa t er family have been preserved in thei r en ti rety and comp l e t ene ss. At the close of the meeting a petition embodying the facts of the case relative to Lady Amelia was submitted and approved of by the gentlemen present, who likewise appended their signatures to the said petition, to be forwarded to the Queen, praying her Majesty to take the matter into con sideration.—Northern Daily Express. CRICKETERS IN PARLIAMENT.—The cricketing in terest in the House of Commons, which has not bees. strong of late, has received a most important accession in the person of Mr. C. G. Lyttelton, lately elected to it as member for East Woreestershiie. He will meet there, though on the opposite benches, his old Oxford fiend, Mr. s De Grey, who centri v esp,keep pp some of his cricket in pite of the occupation nicidental to the possession of a scat in the:House. Colonel Bathunit, a very useful all round cricketer, managed to lose his seat at the last gene ral election, and may poisibly regain it in the next ; and in Essex there is some idda of getting Mr. Round, well Houses, including Lords Stamford, and so on, could Chesterfield, known as one of the best amateur wicket - keepers of the day, to stand for one of the new divisions, so that there is at least a fa ir chance that the House may be able to turn out a very fair tea m with these four, Colonel , Kingscote, Messrs.

The ropes broke, and the deceased was precipitated to the ground, receiving fatal injuries. It appeared that the ropes had been in use nearly six years, and Mr. Leyster deposed that a lope of that kind should last nine years. A. practical man on the jury, however, dissented from this view, and said that the rope which broke was so rotten from age that the strands, instead of supporting half a hundredweight, gave way under the pressure of a pound. The danger consequent upon the use of such ropes con cerned not only the men in the cradles, but the public walking on the pavement underneath.

The LORD OHANOELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack At five o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Chichester Cattle Market, London and South. Western Railway, and Islaryport District and Harbour Bills were read a third time and passed. THE CHICHESTER AND MIDHURST RAILWAY BILL This bill was road a second time. THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS' BILL, Earl STANIIOPE said that in bringing before , them some points with reference to the question of public rehools, and asking for soma papers, ho 'had 33.. , thin , ; to say about the bill now before the Souse of Inninon.s. This bill was precisely the saoe as tha.. .vhich had bleu pointed out by the commission tv. - 2 Year; ago, and he sincerely trusted that the bill woul 1 141 . 3-- .urued to thorn But he would pint out th it this bill ;bye no power to the commission with regard to the course if • study to be pursued at public schools; yo'; this subject was one of these most discus red .13 the zommission. Ho did not, however, wish that the oill should lay down any coarse to b 3 pursued, but that it should be left to the discretion of the governing body of the school, and he would give them power so to direct them. 113 personally considered that the study of classical lau 'pages ought to be retained, and in certain reports from the adult schools it was found most a Ivautarou3, bat he did not think that it sh o uld b3as it was 5) years ago, adieu no other subjects wore stu lied. Matho:natics were not thought of in some public schools until 1851, but now they had become a most important feature. Since the subject was last discus 331 in that hens.) French had become most important study. The system at Eton underwent a most important part in the change, an I ao doubt would be the school 'to take the lead in this reform. The stu ly of mo bra history and natural science had made important strides. Ira felt the great advantage of the encouragement of natural science. If possible, he would ask their retaining all the 'ancient branches of study, that as many as possible of the new ones should be introduced, but he was afraid, having regard to health and the labour of the brain, that all could be so employed. He could not but think that Gr,ek composition, both in prose and . verse, shoul 1 bo omitted, and that it should only be submitted to a certain class of stu dents. The noble earl then diverged into various topics connected with the course of study at public schools, and concluded with moving for the educational papers of which he had given notice, and also suggested that there should be a new commission appointed, consisting of the governing and teaching bodies of universities, and also the govern ing and teaching bodies of the public schools, who should decide upon the course of study to be pursued. Lord CLARENDON thanked Lord Stanhope for aga'n bringing this matter before the house.. He did not wish to follow him into the question of Greek or Latin verse, but he had quoted quite enough to show that any educa tion confined to Latin and Greek was an unnatural one, and that it was a miserable mis-spending of the best years of a boy's life. These languages were undoubtedly the basis of a liberal education, but if they were taught on a better system there would be abundance of time for studies which would fit boys better for the practical age in which they lived ; without overtaxing their brains or interfering with their recreation, they might be much better qualified than theysnow were for the battle of life. The Duke of MARLBOROUGH thought it was prema ture to discuss a bill which was still before the House of Commons, and which they had undoubtedly taken great pains to perfect. Lord LYTTELTON concurred generally in what Lord Stanhope had said, but thought that the responsibility of inaugurating a change in the present system rested with the Universities, for till the Universities rewarded the study of physical science and modern languages with emoluments as well as honours it would be useless to ex pect the chief public schools to deviate to any great extent from the course now adopted. Lord STANHOPE then withdrew his motion for copies of memorials or petitions on the subject, on the assurance of the Duko of Marlborough that none such had been re ceived. The subject then dropped. The County Courts Admiralty Jurisdiction Bill was read a second time. After a few observations on the Sale of Poisons and Pharmacy Act Amendment Bill, the Duke of Marlborough briefly explained its provisi ms ; but Lord REDESDALE announced his intention of moving on the report a most practical clause, to the enet that in future all poisons must be kept in " poison- bottles" of peculiar shape. Fatal mistakes were often made in the dark, and these would be avoided in all cases by having . a universal bottle of such peculiar shape and character that any one who teek holl of it would at once know it. was " the poison bottle." The bill then passed through committee. In reply to Lord TRURO, Lord MALMESBURY stated that it was the intention of Government to give a holiday on Saturday to all in the Government departments who were Volunteers. Their lordships adjourned at half-past seven o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS—LAST EVENING. Tho SPEIKER took tho chair at 4 o'clock.- CHEAP PUBLICATIONS, &c. Mr. HUBBARD asked the Secretary of State for 013 Home Dopnrtment whethor his attention had been directed to the lamentable amount of juvenile criminality, largely at tributable to the sproal of cheap publications and theatrical representations of an exciting and immoral eh tractor, which corrupt the children of the lower classes, and stimulate them into courses of dishonesty and vice; and, whether the Government proposed any remedy for these growing and most serious evils ? Mr. HARDY said his attention hai Wen directed to the publications referred to, but he found that, although b td, they were not of such a nature as to warrant a criminal prosecution. They were sensational, no doubt, but not so bad as had been represented. With respect to the theatrical representations he must say there was a great deal of (mtg . - geration,and in all the places visited by the police nc immora lity had been discovered. There was, however, room for great improvement, and if the hon. member could suggest any thing that would be likely to check the objectionable state of things, he should be most happy to consult with him. LAW COURTS IN EGYPT. Mr. L A.YARD asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affabs whether he had received any proposal from the Egyptian Govarnmmt on the subject of a molitication of the Capitulations, and the in'rodtaction of improved Law Courts in Egypt, to which all foreigners should be amenable ; and whether ho would lay upon the table of the house copies of the daspatches recoival on the subject. LorJ STANLEY said communications had been re ceived on the subject, and it was at present and ,r the so rious consideration of her Majesty's GJveramont, as well as other Earopeati Powers. lie should have no obj action to give the despatches received in October last. TEIE INDIAN ROUTE. Mr. GOLDSMID ailc3d the Secretary to the Treasary whether, in consequence of the opening of the Foll Rail way over Mont Canis, her Majesty's (J vernrnaut intended to adopt the Brindisi route for the Indian mails; and, whether they had made auy application t) tie Fron3ll Government to put an end to the twelve hours' detention in Paris of letters posted for Italy by the ovJning mails? Mr. BOOTII said the opening of the railway had not been lost sight of in the contract entered into with the Peninsular and Oriental Company a short time ago. With respect to the detention of London letters for Italy in Paris, it was quite true they were unavoid tbly detained for a few hours, but such was not the case with letters go ing through Paris from the English provinces. The de lay was at present unavoidable. THE NEW LAW COURTS. Mr. WA LDEGRAVE-LESLIE asked the First Com missioner of Works whether the statement in the Builder of the 13th of Juno, that Mr. E. M. Barry, A.R.A., had protested against the appoiltmeut of Mr. Street as archi tect of the New Law Courts, on the ground that such ap pointment was at variance with the letter and spirit of the conditions of the competition entered into by the architects, was a correct statement ? Mr. BOOTH said it certainly was true that a protest had been given in by the gentleman named against the ap pointment of Mr. Street. It had not b3en received nut' after the appointment had been made public. ABYSSINIA. Mr. LAYARD asked the cause of the delay in bringing forward the vote of thanks to Sir R. Napier. Mr. DISRAELI said unfortunately the whole of the despatches had not yet been received. The information required was the names of the persons the Commander-in- Chief wished to bring to the attention of the Government. It was most desirable that such should be in the possession of the Government previous to tha vote being moved, and he had every reason to hope that the despatches would ba in the hands of the Government in a few days. Colonel Milward and Colonel Fraser had arrival from Magdah, but neither of those officers brought the information required. li e would give ample notice of the day on which the vote would be proposed. (Hear, hoar.) THE REVIEW AT WINDSOR. - Lord ELCHO said it was generally known that Her Altijesty proposed to review the metropolitan volunteers in Windsor Great Park on Saturday next. Now, it would b 3 a very great facility if a holiday was given to the volunteers in the public offices' on that day. He thought if the Government gave leave of absence to -all volunteers in the public offices on Saturday the ex ample would be followed by private firms, and the result would be that a great many volunteers would be enabled to attend. He therefore wished to know whether the volunteers in the Government offices would on Saturday next be excused attending to their official duties ? Mr. DISRAELI said he had great pleasure in informing the noble lord that notice had been already given to the public offices that Volunteers would be at liberty to attend the review at Windsor on, Saturday next. (Hear.) If in any department of the public service the notice had not yet been received, he would see that it was transmitted thereto immediately. He hoped the example would bo followedby The private firms, and that the review would go off with th 3. best possible effect. (Hear, hear.) THE ELEOTRIC TELEGRAPHS BILL. In reply to an HON. MEMBER, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said' this bill would be taken the first thing on Thursday. ORDERS OF THE DAY. Mr. DISRAELI moved that on Tuesday, the 7th day of July next, and every succeeding Tuesday during tho pro sent session, orders of the day have precedence of notices of motions, tho right being reserved to her Majesty's Ministers of placing Government orders at the head of the list. He thought that if the proposal of tho Government were adopted, they would be enabled to facilitate matters to allow of dissolution without the inconvenience of a number of morning sittings. Mr. GLADSTONE approved of the arrangement, and the motion was agreed to. MORNING SITTING. Mr. DISRAELI moved that the house meet to-mon-ow, at two o'clock in the afternoon, and transact business up till seven o'clock in the ovouiug, and then suspend their /itting until nine o'clock. The motion was agreed to. THE IRISH REFORM BILL. 0, the motion for the houso going into committee on is bib, Tho SPi AKER told Mr. Rartrdon that his motion rola- tive to a reLtal franchise was at variance with the rules of the house, upon which the lion. member at once withdrew it. Mr. SANDFORD moved thatthe disfranchising schemes be given up, except so far as Portarlington was concerned, and that the member takm from th ure be given t Kiag town. • This nppeal was backed by Ur. HENLEY, who, point ing to the number of amendments on the paper and the time of year, urged that unless something of the sort wero done it would be difficult to get through the business of the session. Sir P. lIEYGATE and Sir H. BRUCE also criticized the Redistribution scheme from a Conservative point of view, complaining it was not just to Ulster. Al it had given satisfaction to neither side, the Government, they thought, would do well to drop it. Mr. Pim and Mr. BAGWELL protested strongly against the policy of aggrandizing county representation at the expense of the boroughs; and Mr. FORTESCUE agreed that no public interest would be injured by postponing the Re distribution scheme to a future year, but it was so un satisfactory that if it were pressed ho should do his best to substitute sonic other plan for it. Mr. GREGORY, on the other hand, urged the house not to confess itself incompotont to produce a complete mea sure for Ireland. The difficulties might b 3 found out in a very short time. Mr. Gregory dii not agree with those who thought the counties over-represented, pointing out that agriculture was the chief interest of Ireland. Geaeral DUNNE maintained that Ireland had as good a right as Scotland to additional memieers, and Mr. Law son protested against the suggested disfranchisement of his borough (Portarlington). There was not the same necessity for extinguishing small boroughs in Ireland as in England, for, with one or two exceptions, every town over 10,000 population was represented. Mr. 11. BAIL LIE also recommended that the bill shoull be limited to the enfranchising clauses, and after some re uhrks from Mr. Synan, _ Mr. DISRAELI wound up the conversation by remark ng that the suggestions just mi.da should have the care ul consideration of the Government. The house then went into committee on the bill. Oa cl Luso 3, regulating the borough occupation frau- chile, Mr. LAWSON endeavoured to amend the clause so as .3 fix the franchise at £1 instead of th 3 rateable annual value of "more than £4" as proposed by the bill. Lord MAYO strenuously opposed the shange on the ground that it would disturb the whole rating system of Ireland for the incommensurate result of adding hardly 2,000 to the constituencies. Mr. C. Fortascue, Mr. Murphy, and Air. O'B3irne sup ported the amendment, while Ganeral DQUIL3 and the Attorney-Genaral for Irel Ind spoke for the bill. Mr. Lawson offered to limit his a.n3ndrnent to boroughs ; but on a division the committee rojected it altogether by 188 to 177. On arriving at the Rodistribution portion of the bill, Mr. Disraeli postponed for further consideration clauses 10, 11, and 12, which contain all the principal provisions. Clause 13, which provides for the revision of boundaries and the appointment of a Boundary Commission, was negatived on the understanding that a clause should be substitut4d for it (suggested by Mr. Lawson), making a general arrangement that, whore the municipal exceed the Parliamentary boundaries, the two shall be canter- .nous. On Clause 18, which prohibits piyments for conveying voters to the poll in boroughs, there was a long discus sion, turning chiefly on the exceptions to be admitted, and u'timately it was agreed to with four only—Carrickfergus , Cork, Limerick, and Galway. In the other clauses a few verbal amendments ware made, and on arriving at the schedules the Chairman was ordered to report progress, Mr. Disraeli promising that the bill should bo resumsd the first thing on Thursday. Sir S. NORTfICOT'S Indianl3ins . (Governor of India. Act Amendment and Goveraor-General of India Bills) were read a second time. Oa the report of Supply beiug brought up, Mr. C HILDE 3S, reverting to the, discussion which he raised last week on the propriety of taking the supplies for nine months only, entered his protest, in the interests of constitutional pracelonA, a.gtinst the dectrine the Chancellor of the Exeheiner had then lai•l down, that the course to be taken depend id on the CAlli3 of the dissolution. Referring &pin to the precedents of 1830 and 1811, Mr. Childers m.tin , aine I that, whenever it had been notified to a Parliament that it was to be dissolved, it WAS the rule only to take supplies sufficient to last over until the new Parliament could bs got together. But he admitted that in asking for a whole year supplies the Government had taken the most practical and convenient courso. The CHANCELLOR of the EaCHEQ,ITEIt reiterated his opinion that the precedent of 1811 was inapplicable, and Mr. Gladstone confirmed and enforced Mr. Childers's view of the constitutional practice. Oa the second reading of the Registration Bill, Mr. BAINES, seconded by Mr. Mill and Mr. Melly, called attention to deLects in tho process of registering lo lgers, particularly to the want of provision for giving him notice of objections ; and the Solicitor-General re - plied that it was unnocessary, as the lodger would have to attend to make his claim. Mr. PUGH gravely warned the house of the danger of precipitation, illustrating his paint with his usual fertility of apt Virgilian quotations ; and Sir G. BOWYER in the sama vein, deprecated need :to abbreviation of the processes of registration. It was peculiarly ituportant that the new Parliament should be duly elected, and that the constituent bady should be formed with the uttnost care and deliberation, otherwise the new house would be discredited before it met, and a second general election would be necessary within a twelvemonth. Mr. KENDAL mentioned that at a recent meeting of the clerks of the peace a resolution had been passed declaring that there was great danger of excluding large classes from tLe register by shortening those processes. But Mr. LEEMAN, on the other hand, as a clerk of the peace of 23 years' standing, asserted that the bill was perfectly workable, and gave the Government great credit for the skill with which they had selected the processes to be shortened. Mr. W. P. MARTIN also predicted that the bill would be found effectual. Mr. DODSON, holding that if there was to be an autumn session it ought to be held earlier than the bill proposed, explaining how by shortening the time all Owed to the clerks of the peace and the town clerks for making out the lists, and by assimilating the time in town and country for exhibiting the lists of objections and omitted claims, the revising barrister might be got t2 . Nrark by the 7th of September, the writs might b 3 issued bithe 12th of October, and the new Parliament assembled by Novem ber 9tb. Mr. Hibbert, Mr. Libouchere, and Mr. Denman pointed out defects in the bill, to which Mr. HARDY replied that all these objections had been carefully considered by the Government, and would b 3 inquired into by the Select Committee. The bill was then read a second time and ordered to be referred to a Select Committee, with power to take evidence. The Petroleum Act Amendment Bill passod through committee, and some other bills having been forwarded a stage, the house adjourned at five minutes to 2 o'clock. DEPARTURE OF LEONARD W. JEROME.—On the morning of the issue of this numb3r, Mr. Leonard W. Jerome takes his departure for Europe. It is the inten tion of Mr. Jerome to be absent for about a year, but it is the common hope of his friends and of our citizens gene rally that he will return after the lapse of a few months. There aro few men who would be so much missed from this community as will Mr. Jerome ; few who have con tributed so much to the ornamentation and advancement of our city. The whole enterprise of the es:ablishment cf Jerome Park, with its graceful, civilizing, high-toned summer and winter festivals, was a boon given to New York from out of the palm of his broad, generous hand ; and he has, in other ways, - imparted a spirit and polish to our metropolitan life, which have vastly popularized it with all liberal strangers. Compared with such persons as the Astors, who live within themselves, who neither keep yachts not horses, nor encourage art, head charities put up good buildings, nor represent anything but selfish , ness and cold accumulation, Mr. Jerome figures to an advantage beyond all measurement. Besides all these social and personal distinctions, Mr. Jerome is a man of intellectual breadth and fine business fatuity, and we cheerfully commend him to his friends abroad, as a wholesome American who will creditably represent his Icountry. We take this opportunity to wish him a pheasant voyage and a safe return.—lVilks's Spirit of the pities. • . IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF COMAIONS.—(TiIis DAT.)
