The interest which has always been felt in the domestic circle of QUEEN VICTORIA has during the last year or two been considerably heightened by some of those vicissitudes which must occasionally chequer the path of high and low. The narrow escape of the Duke of EDINBURGH from sudden and violent death called forth the liveliest demonstra tions of sympathy and regret, and his safe return to his own country has been hailed with universal expressions of satisfaction and relief. All must re joice that her MAJESTY has been sp.tred such a heavy trial, and every parent can sympathise with the mother's delight at seeing her son apparently none the worse fur his painful and dangerous adventure. Since her MAJESTY'S bereavement, however, and her consequent seclusion from public life, the interest of the nation has chiefly centred on the Heir Apparent and his graceful and popular Princess. The " Welcome ALEXANDRA," so spon taneous and so hearty in its nature, prepared the fair stranger to fin I herself beloved and honoured even before being known, ant her kindness and affability have only served to endear her still more to her adopted people as the years have gone by. Her long and painful illness has been a matter of universal regret, not only because the Princess was forced to abandon the Prominent position she had assumed iu society, and a check was consequently put upon much of the gaiety of the seas)a, but be cause every one was personally grieved for the fair young mother compelled to endure so tedious and painful an ordeal. Her recovery was the subject for general rejoicing, and her reappearance in public was everywhere hailed with satis faction and relief. The ne•.vs that yesterday another Princess W 43 added to the Princess's youth ful family was fresh matter for congratulation, and the warmest interest was expressed. Th 3 happy event was made known by the firing of the Park and Tower guns, and crowds of persons hastened to Marlborough House to learn the particulars. A• the Mansion house, where the bulletin was posted early in the day, it was eagerly read by the passers by. happily the news continues to be favourable, and the later bulletins are all that can be desired. Nothing therefore remains but to hope that the convalescence of the Princess will be speedy and unchequere.l, and that her MAJESTY'S younger' grand laughter may equal her predecessors in health, beauty and intelligence. The chief interest in the House of Lords last evening was engrossed by the debate on Nova Scotia, bat time was found for the advancement of some long-standing bills. The County Courts Ad miralty Jurisdiction Bill and the Vagrant Ac Amendment Bill were both passed through commit tee, and the report of amendments on the Arm:, Chaplains Bill was received. The Scotch Reform 13111, too, progressed a stage, for the report of thJ amend:nents was brought up, and after some conversation agreed to. Several small measures were a lvanced, and the Lor Is seem determined to press for ward their share of the work. The prin cipal subject of discussion in the latter part of the evening was the redoubtable Boundary Bill, respecting which there exists, n.)t unnaturally, con siderable dissatisfaction. Thanks to the waste of time in the Commons, and the consequent lateness of the season before the bill came up to the Lords— thanks, too, to the unwarrantable coarse adopted by Earl RUSSELL and his friends—the bill cannot be said to have been fairly and fully considered. The two evenings which the Lords might have de voted to its consideration were entirely - monopolised by angry recrimination and personal attacks. To make matters worse Ministers are forced to hurry on the bill in order to obtain the Royal as sent in time to obtain the requisitions for county votes before the 20th of July. L)r,l REDE;DALE, uad 2r these circumstances, last night lost patience, an 1 declared that he thought it more important to pass a good Boundary Bill than to have the elections in November. The Reform Bill proposed to settle matters for a generation at least, but several noble lords declared their convic tion that the hasty and careless manner iu which the boundary question had been decided left open grounds for serious complications and difficulties. At first sight it may appear to be trifling and un important whether the boundary line is drawn at one particular spot or another, but in reality there is considerable difference, because in many cases the question is whether a popu lous district shell come under the borough or the county franchise. It is needless to add that the question affects the electors very closely, be cause many more would be placed on the borough register than on the county register. In the case of Aston, for instance, the difference amounted to between two and three thousand, and yet Aston, as Lord EVERSLEY declared, is as much a part of Bir mingham as Piccadilly is of London. Again, in the case of Jarrow, the mother parish of South Shields, respecting which Lord RA.VENSWORTH last night moved his amendment, the interests of many thou sand persons are affected. The Commissioners recommended that Jarrow, with its 15,000 inha bitants, should be included in South Shields, the most rational arrangement ; but the Parliamentary Committee, who reversed many of their decisions, decided against it. The Committee appear to have had a strong obj,!ction t) include in the boroughs those outlying populations which of late years have sprung up so quickly round many of our towns and cities, and which naturally belong rather to the urban than to the rural classes. The consequence of this unwise exclusiveness is that in some canes one side of a street will be included in the borough limits and one in the county, which is likely to prove a fruitful source of contention and dispute. We cannot help regretting that further time and consideration have not been given to this bill, since the circumstances attending its discus sion in both houses have been peculiarly unfor tunate. The House of Commons began the week well, and got through a good deal of work. The Regis tration Bill was read a third time and passed, but Sir G. BOWYER pronounced a dismal prophecy con cerning it, for he said that it had been passed too hastily, and with lack of information, and in conse quence we must expect that the new Parliament would be a failure, and that a second general elec tion would take place in twelve months. We should hope that the hon. member himself must rejoice to find his words falsified by the success of the scheme ; for the Reform 8111, as Mr. DISRAELI has said, is the work of the House of COIIIIIOII3, and it must take up and proclaim the responsibility at will. As for the want of infermatioa people seem to forget that a very long time has passed since the measure was first introduced jute the House, so that ample opportunity has been afforded to consider its details, and really there exists no grounds for the fears of some and the evil proguos tications of others. The House went into com mittee on the Corrupt Practices Bill, and some drscussion ensued on that, which occupied a con siderable time. Mr. BoUVEItIE, first of all, pro posed some alteration to take place in the bill, so that a tribunal might be formed composed of six members of the house to act under a Judge, and that the Crown should appoint an additional Judge to each of the Superior Courts of Common Law. Mr. DISRAELI refused to allow the principle of the bill to be altered, but said that he would con sider some propositions afterwards. Mr. MILL spoke strongly on the importance of limiting the duration of the bill to two years, and Mr. GLADSTONE wished the Government to follow this suggestion, though he declared with characteristic caution that he preferred Mr. AYRTON'S plan to all others. Mr. KNATCHBULL-HUGESSEN gave some very good advice, when he said that they had come to the paint when they must settle if they would pass the bill or not, and that they should not fritter away the time that is left, and he reminded the House that it would not look well if they appeared to the country to be averse to putting a stop to the practice of bribery. A large majority decided against the amendment. Mr. AYIITON carried his amendment, and stopped the further progress of the bill thereby, Mr. DISRAELI declaring that he must take time to consider what should be done. It is much to be regretted that the hon. member should have persisted in this course, because it is inconvenient to have his clauses interposed; and, as the Premier said very truly, the prot_st of the judges might weigh with the other House and materially affect the progress of the bill. It seems a pity to try too much, and since the judges had proclaimed their unwillingness to have the proposed duty put upon them, surely it is an unpropitious time to attempt the change at this juncture, when every day is precious, and all dis puted measures stand a chance of being thrown out altogether. The Army Estimates engaged some time, and the House was favoured by a long attack, delivered by Major ANSON, on the manufacturing arrangements of the army. Sir JOHN PAK INGTON complained, with great justice, that uo notice had been given of this sweeping con demnation, and showed that the sudden and comprehensive changes proposed would be inconvenient, and also attended with great expense. The Earl of MAYO brought in the Registration Rill for Ireland, which chiefly relates to revision, and arranges that the lista should be put in the hands of Sieriffs by the beginning or' Nove.nber, Lnd everythi ng will be ready in Ireland for a gene ral election as S3Oll as they are in England. The long sitting of the 11 fuse would have effected more Practical good hal it not been for the provoking hindrance interposed by Mr. a': tiros. The G vernment are not met half way in their earnest endeavours to pass the necessary measures before the end of the Session. It seems that Franc.e. has decided on S' alert policy, or at any rate is not just now inclined fur mar. The news that reaches us from Pf:ris is de- Adedly of a peaceful character. The EMP SIM has yen orders that ow-Ilfth of the army s bould be ient home on furlouffi, after the general ii spection should have taken place, and M. ROMER .ielivered a speech on the budget, in the course of which he followed in the same track. The Government, ex claimed he, " has no arrire pensee. In its eyes peace is the great condition of civilization, and war a great calamity. But to wish for peace," :he added, "is not to con clude in favour of disarmament." Accord ing to the statement of the Minister, the im provement of arias in France is only to be looked upon as an indispensable " guarantee " against war. Altogether, we think it a hopeful sign that the French Government should see fit to send home so many on furlough, and the more so as the pre sent distress that has prevailed would render a war between two great and influential nations like Fr knee and Prussia very injurious to the interests of Europe. M. RouLtEtt very justly declared that he could not agree with M. JULES FAVEE in " his estimate of the paternal sentiment of peoples," and the PRESIDENT had to exercise his authority and call the house to order for the ex travagant style of his remarks. He actually went so far as to intimate that France could not bear the expense of the " Empire" under the financial pressure now existing, which was a most unwar rantable licence to take of the freedom of speech now accorded in the French Chambers. Since peace is to be the order of the day, it is to be hoped that the effect of the intelligence may reassure the mind of the dlubtfal and desponding, a n d re animate the drooping spirits of m any w h o h ave been dismayed at the dreary aspect of affairs. Both France and Prussia may look at home and find more than enough to occupy their statesmen, en gage their legislators, and employ their people in the improvement of social affairs, and the ge neral progress of the nation. It will not create war to know that France is ready, and it may even conduce to prevent it, so that we may safely affirm matters are not so bad as they have been so sedu lously represented to be for some time past in Con • ti nen tal prospects.

RAILWA' EDUCATION IN BRITISH INDIA.—Tbe total expen diture from all sources during the year ended April, 1866, on education in British India amounted to £170,834, £140,038 of which was expended by Government. Thera were at that time 18,563 educational institutions, and there was an average attendance of 559,317 pupils during the year. By a comparison of statistics for 1857 to 1866 (both inclusive) it is foun3 that the number of institutions has increased by more than 10,000, the average attendance of pupils by about 350,000, the amount expended by Govern tsmhoeetinryeteeasbryb• 1y8 Z 6x 2 0 6 1. 5 5 _ , 5 6 A, 8 4 : 6 _, Ic,o a t n ih i ne l pal t ra l e i s e dt swtuomittahlbpa iexcnegvpicaeonuldesiutyluaerteaerdsf r om o n i sl n lyi sfahol for the decrease in the average number of pupils occurred in 1858 and 1865, but, with these' exceptions, the increase in at tendance has been regularly progressive.

CORRESFONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, MONDAY, July G. Various rumours as to the effect of last week's debate on the Budget are current here to-day. The unusual im portance given to that discussion arises not so much from the vigour of the Opposition speeches as from the attitude of several members of the ma jority. M. Louvet's speech I have before re ferred to, M. Haentjens announced that he would not vote for such a Budget again. M. Magne and the other Ministerial speakers contented themselves with excuse rather than justification. There was a marked absence of that firm assertion of Imperial infallibility, of that absolute optimism which have been common with all the Emperor's former Ministries. The Emperor, I am told, whilst giving M. Magne every credit for his good faith and the ability with which he opposed the arguments of the Left, is much astonished that the Minister of Finance could not paint a more Uttering picture of the state of affairs. The impression still prevails that the Opposition would have done better by confining their arguments to the question of income and debt, upon which the Ministers were compelled to agree with them. When the position of France as a European State was brought forward, the hopes and sympathies of the majority revived at once. Austrian affairs have lately excited much interest here, probably because France has learnt by experience that Austria is her only possible ally in Europe. Next to Count Bismarck, Baron Beust is the man most talked of in Paris. The anxiety for the unity of Austria is now as manifest here as, a' short time ago, was the desin for her dismemberment. The national movement in Bohemia has become very serious, and, in fact, occu pies almost the entire attention of the Austrian Govern ment. The Czechs are, perhaps, too exacting in their demands, but the necessity of concilhting them must overcome all difficulties of detail. It is evident that if Hungary has a right to recognition as a constituent part of the empire, the smaller States ought not to be sub- merged in the German provinces. But the population of the German provinces do not appreciate the need of a settlement with Bohemia, and hence one difficulty. The Germans living in Bohemia number two-fifths of the entire population. This is another source of trouble, for, how ever conciliatory the Germans of Bohemia may formerly have been, they have now formed themselves into an anti- Czech party, and will concede nothing. On the other hand, the Czechs themselves are equally well organised, and will be content with nothing less than a Cianititution similar in independent action to that of Hungary. The situation is becoming so serious, that a writer in the Avenir National declares the support of a great Power is all that is wanted to induce the Bohemians to revolt. Baron Beust is not likely to allow matters to take this course. In all probability he will again disregard German opinion, and make all the concession he safely can. The following incident is given in the Siecle. It will be hardly necessary for me to remind your readers that an anti-Prussian story is the delight of the Paris press. At Kiel an officer of one of the lower grades quarrelled with some young men who had dined not wisely, but too well. The quarrel ended by the officer drawing his sword and mortally wounding one of his adversaries. Some one passing by seized his arm and restrained him from further violence. austice interfered— not to punish the officer or his surviving opponents, but to condemn the individual who interfered to two months' imprisonment, for preventing an officer using his sword in a brawl ! A retrospective document relating to the war of 1866 has been published. It is the fifth chapter of the "His tory of the Campaign of 1866," published under the direction of General Moltke. This chapter, which has been attributed to Count Bismarck, relates to the peace negotiations, and contains some points of interest. The object which the Prussian Government has in view in publishing this part of the history is the justi fication of that portion of its policy which was not generally approved of. The mediation of Napoleon had been accepted, the narrative states, because it was felt necessary not to ignore the French Government, and because the publication of the mediation gave the guarantee of France to the consequences. The integrity of Saxony was maintained because that State_ would become a sure and faithful ally. The Prussian army did not march upon Vienna because the enterprise would involve consi derable sacrifice, and the war had already gained all that Prussia required. Such explanations as these are evidently for the German party, who thought Count Bismarck stopped too short in his victorious career. Like other recent Prussian publications, they will do little to soothe French vanity. The Roumanian Government has acknowledged the Austrian claims for indemnity in the recent excesses against Austrian subjects, and a committee has been appointed to fix the sum. A letter from a correspondent of the Daily Noed says that though the Turkish Government has long ago pre- tended to put down the insurrection, it still exists. 'rho insurgents can defend themselves a long time yet, are very strong in the centre of the island, and will, at all events, not be subdued this summer. The war has cost Turkey 40,000 men. Her army is weaker now than it was last year. The two French officers sent out with the Abyssinian expedition have returned to Paris. The Daily Noss correspondent says these gentlemen concur with Marshal Bugeaud, that " the English infantry is the most for midable in the world ; it is heaven's own mercy that there is not more of it ;" and that the same praise may be extended to our naval brigade and artillery. It is not often that Russian journals find much to admire in England. But a St. Petersburg commercial paper of great repute pays a tribute to English policy in the Abyssinian war, which perhaps only errs from excess. England's policy of non-intervention on the Continent is not, it says, owing to diminished influence. England's centre of gravity no longer lies in Europe. The history of the colonies spews that she exercises the closest vigilance over the interests she has at heart ; and the Abyssinian war, ostensibly eccentric, was really a most powerful means of strengthening England's prestige in Eastern Africa. England does nothing for appearances ; her policy is hundreds of years old, and perfectly independent of temporary Governments. Backward as people are to " bell the cat," when the cat has been belled everybody is anxious to have the credit of it. The Abyssinian expedition having ended successfully, the newspapers are quarrelling among themselves as to which of them by " educating" public opinion caused it to be sent out. The Pall Mall Gazette speaks of itself as being nearly if not quite the only journal which kept the facts before the public. But the Standard and Herald are by no means willing that their influence in the matter should be overlooked. They point to articles— directed, be it observed, against the Russell Ministry—calling upon Mr. Layard and his chief to use all their skill in obtaining the liberty of the cap tives. Had the expedition been unsuccessful doubtless both journals would have been able to point to articles warning the Government of the difficulty of the task they were about to perform. Those who are anxious that the doctrine Ciris Bomanus sum should be maintained, have been much agitated of late by a rumour that Englishmen are being confined in Africa by the natives. The papers having been written to, and a stir made in the matter, one Mr. Angelo came forward and offered to go to Soumali and see if there were any founda tion for the report. An appeal to the Government was made, but they refused to take any responsibility. The matter having been kept before the public, how ever, the consul at Aden was ordered to send some native into the country to inquire. This did not please Mr. Angelo and his friends. They have no faith in any natives, and could not believe their evidence. Sir Stafford Northcote has now again been appealed to. On Saturday a deputation waited on him and urged the untruthfulness of these natives, and the utter impossibility of their success, even if honest in their efforts, owing to the state of feud among the several tribes, which must absolutely shut the interior against the messengers from Aden relied upon by the Government, and which had in former instances always failed ; so that nothing could be expected from this plan but great loss of time. Such obstacles did not fall in the way of Europeans, and Mr. Angelo's knowledge of the language and habits of the tribes would enable him to accomplish whatever could be be done to rescue the captives. Sir Stafford was asked to guarantee the ransom for the captives, which would, it was stated, amount to about £2,000. The right hon. baronet, however, declined once again on the part of the Government any responsibility in the matter. He asked that a statement of the case might be submitted to him, and offered to consider the question. The foundation stone of a new Orange Hall has been laid at Belfast, by Mr. Johnston of Ballykilbeg. In the course of the proceedings Mr. Johnston addressed those present in Orange style, but nothing was uttered to give offence. Ile stated that they not only loved their Orange brethren, but also their Roman Catholic fellow countrymen, and that they did not meet in a spirit of aggression, but simply to assert their rights as British freemen. He advised the brethren to keep the peace, believing that the peaceable and respectable Roman Catholics disowned the quarrels which were so often in dulged in during the month of July. In conclusion, Mr. Johnston asserted that it was a grand thing to be instru mental in any degree in erecting a lodge, for "it was a shrine of the Bible, the representative of God's Protestant truth." The new hall will be a plain two-storey building, 64ft. from front to Tor, by NO; in f.•ont, BAINES ON CAPITAL 4 4 YD LABOUI Mr. E. Baines, M.P., in a reply to questions on which hi opinion was asked by a deputation which waited upon bin lately from the Trades' Council of Leeds, says: - "I think the law should do equal and impartial justic to masters and servants, and that any law whic: may be contrary to this rule should be altered. funds of Trades' Unions should be legally protected Iron embezzlement, like other property. .If trades' unions sherd( do wrong, they should be made answerable for the wrong. but they should not be allowed to be plundered with impu nity. I desire to see the universal education of tilt young—by means of ex;i,ting schools, and in con nection with religion, where that is possible, and resting as far as possible on the voluntary action of parents au( the earnest friends of education. I think Government aid should be granted equally to religious and secula, schools, and accompanied iu the former with a conscience clause, but I could only accept aid myself for secular depart merit of teaching, the results of which should be ascertainei by exarninatlim lam also favourable to Prolonging th period of schooling to ycuug persons employed both iu trad and agriculture, on the half-time system. I would not deny to communities the power of taxing themselves for the esta blishment of schools, where they may be found needful. l would give perfect freedom and every facility to co-opera tion, but 1 do not think it expedient to force its growth by special and artificial encouragement. I think boards of arbitration most desirable, as tending to a good understand ing between masters and men, and to the prevention of strikes, which are injurious to both. Fair terms and friendly relations between capital and labour are in the highest degree conducive to social happiness and national prosperity. CONVICTION FOR POISONING A RACE HORSE. The case of poisoning a race horse came before the Recorder of Barnstaple, at the Quarter Sessions of the borough on Saturday. The prisoner, George Woollacott, groom, was indicted for feloniously and maliciously administering poison to a mare called Little Sally, the pro perty of Mr. Smalltidge, of Littlehampton. Tho circum stances of the case have already appeared. It was shown that immediately before the Barnstaple races the prisoner had access to the horse in a stable, and that he was there seen tampering with the animal. Ho was going to contest with the animal for the Yeomanry Cup, and his bargain with his employer, Mr. Hooper, was that he should receive half the I rat. Immediately after the prisoner left the mare she grew very sick and vomited, dying in great agony on the morning of the race day. Mr. Howish, veterinary surgeon, mode a post mortem examination, and traced mineral poison in the stomach ; which was also examined by Mr. Herapath, analytical chemist, of Bristol, who dis covered spirits of salts, the same poison as that contained in three bottles found in the house of the prisoner on his apprehension. After the hearing of the evidence, which occupied several hours, the learned Recorder summed up, and the jury having deliberated half an hour, brought in a verdict of guilty. Mr. C. H. William., in whose service the prisoner had been, gave him an excellent character. The Recorder said the act was cowardly and dastardly, and sen tenced the prisoner to five years' penal servitude.—Western Morning News. THE WEATHER TABLE.-THIS DAY. MLTEOROLOGICAL EEPORTS.

Since yesterday a diminution in barometrical pressure has taker. place in the north and west of the British Isles, whilst on the south coa,t and over France the mercury has risen somewhat. Readings are very uniform. This change has been accompanied by an increase of a few degrees in temperature at almost all of our stations—amounting to 10 legs. at Scarborough. The winds have generally backed to the westward, and in some places as far as to S.W. They, however, con tinue light, and are rather variable. The weather is fine, but a little cloudy, and souse rain is reported from Aberdeen. The division list of members who voted on Mr. Bouverie'e_ amendment for continuing the jurisdiction of electio4 inquiries with the House of Commons, instead of trans! ferring it to jujges, is a curious study, and not a little puzzling. It is difficult to extract any principle which governed hon. members in voting aye or no. Party politics had certainly nothing to do with their decision. For instance, first in the list of ayes—i.e., of those who voted with the Govern ment—is Mr. Adam, an ex-Liberal whip. He is followed in immediate succession by four other Liberals. On the other hand, a large number of Conservatives voted with the Noes, including Mr. T. Baring, Sir H. Edwards, Mr. Henley, Sir Massey Lopes, and his brother, Mr. H. Lopes. If we apply the test of the constituencies we seem at first to get an explanation. For instance, while the representatives for pure constituencies like Liskeard, Plymouth, Southwark, Westminster, and the majority of the counties (where, of course, bribery is not common), voted for the clause, Sir Edmund Lacon, M.P. for doomed Yarmouth, Mr. Seymour, M.P. for doomed Totnes, Mr. Goldsmid, M.P. for doomed Honiton, and Mr. Cave, M.P. for corrupt Barnstaple, voted against it. But even this test will not stand a rigid exami nation. Sir William Brett, who knows something about political banquets at Holston; Lord William H a y, who has found one Parliament's tenure of Taunton quite sufficient; Mr. Melly, who has spetn a small fortune at Stoke-upon-Trent ; Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Hodgson, who represent that most corrupt borough, Brillport ; and Mr. Kinglake and Mr. Vanderbyl, who have the misfortune to represent Bridgwater, noted for its auri sacra fames, are all for holding local inquiries, such as would have proclaimed on the housetop practices which at present are now only whispered in the ear. Another source of perplexity is the diverse voting of members who represent the same constituency in the same political in terest. It is natural, of course, that Mr. Coleridge and Lord Courtenay should find themselves in opposite lobbies ; and, we presume, not unnatural that Mr. Wyld (who exercises his independence by voting against his party when they are right and voting with them only when they are wrong) should be in the left lobby and the Hon. Leveson Gower in the right. But why did Messrs. Cowen and Headlam, Lord Eliot and Mr. Montague Chambers, Mr. Fawcett and Mr. James White pair off into opposite lobbies ? What, too, made Mr. Gladstone pre vote with the Noes and Mr. Gladstone Ps with the Ayes ? Do our readers give it up? So do we. The second division, on Mr. Ayrton's amendment (which was carried by 136 votes to 71), whose effect was that, insteadof nominating two judges to be specially set apart for this duty, one judge should be added to each of the common law courts, and election petitions should be tried indiscriminately by the general body of judges ac cording to a settled rota, exhibits almost equal confusion of parties. A good many members who voted in the first division took no part in the second, and vice yowl. Th e lawyers, as a rule, seem to have followed Mr. Ayrton, not unnaturally seeing that if his proposition were carried out it would cause considerable promotion in the ranks of .• long robe and curly wig. Considering that the defeat of the Government took Place at a rather late hour last night, Ministers have bees creditably prompt in considering their position arid deciding upon the steps which they will now take. The Solicitor-General (Sir William Brett) has given notice of the following clause, which, it will be seen, gives up the idea of entrusting the trial of election petitions to CI( judges, and adopts the present machinery, by which special commissioners are appointed, who hold inquiries on the spot. " If upon a petition to the House of Commons, pre sented within twenty-one days after the return to the Clerk of the Crown in Chancery, of a member to serve in Parliament for any borough or county, or within fourteen days after the meeting of Parliament, and signed by any two or more electors of such borough or county, and alleging that corrupt practi ces have extensively prevailed at the then last election for such borough or county, or that there is reason to believe that corrupt practices have there so prevailed, an address be presented by both Houses of •Parliament, praying that such allegation may be inquir e d i nto, the Crown may appoint commissioners to inquire into the same, and if such commissioners in such case be appointed, they shall inquire in the same manner and with the same powers and subject to all the provisions o f t h e statute of the nth and 16th of Victoria. chap. Cq." CENTRAL CR Li/LVA L COURT—(Tits Day) OLD COURT. (Before the Recorder.) SENDING THREATENING LETTERS. Eli Fermi was indicted for felonious) , and mall' ciously sending and causing to be received by Basil Melas certain letters threatening to kill him, and Also for unlawfully and inAliciously publishing cer' pain defamatory libels of and concerning Basil The prosecutor was a gentleman carrying 03 business in the City, and the prisoner was a pub idler, and formally the proprietor and editor a a paper connected with shipping, having at one time 1, large circulation, and producing the prisoner £7OO per annum. A rival paper was started, and it being conducted on a larger scale, and containing fuller information, the circulation of the prisoner's Gaper beg ►n to fail off, and eventually stopped dtogether. The family of the prisoner, in con 4equenee, became so much reduced that they became in need of temporary assistance. Mr• Alelas, amongst others, was written to for help, and he with others befriended the prisoner and his family, but after some time he received letters de manding a sum of money no less than £14,000 hn amount, as compensation for the injury he had in dicted on the prisoner. There was no ground for such a claim, and of course the prosecutor took no notice of such a communication, And ulti mately a letter was received of the most alarming description, threatening the prosecutor with death, And then it was thought necessary to take the pri ioner into custody. The counsel for the prosecution having opened the case, The Recorder asked whether it was not possible to take a course which would render the entering tt length into the lids connected with the cis uu ncessary. After a consultation with counsel on both sides, ,t was arranged that the trial should be postponed nail next session, with a view to certain proposals oeing made. WATCH ROBBERY. Henry IVilliatus, a flashily-dressed man, was la' licted with stealing a watch, the property of Frederick Crisp. . The prosecutor was taking his ticket at a rail- Aray station, and whilst so engaged the prisoner hushed by him, and in an instant after he saw t 1 0 prisoner's hand come from beneath his (prose lutor's) coat, and then his chain fell from 13 0 lis waistcoat pocket. He was immediately seized, but his watch was not recovered. The jury returned a verdict of guilty. Some former convictions having been proved Against him, The Recorder said he should like to know the sates of them. The Warder of Coldbath-fields Prison said ill 1852 the prisoner was there under a sentence of 10 years' penal servitude. Richard Kemp, warder, from Wandsworth pri ion, said in 1857 the prisoner was in continenient under a sentence of 4 years' penal servitude, and la 1864 for 6 months. The Recorder expressed his surprise at the pri ioner being at large in 1857, after having been sentenced to ten years penal penal servitude is 1852. - The Warder—lfe received a ticket of leave, mY lord. The Recorder—Yes, he having served but five years, or half the time of his sentence. That prac tice does not go on now. It did not appear that the prisoner intended to live an honest life, so that m that occasion he should sentence him to seveu years' penal servitude. THE CHARGE AGAINST MADAME RACHEL. The grand jury this morning returned a true bill Against Sarah Rachel Leverson, otherwise Madame Rachel, for unlawfully obtaining by false pretence° from Mary nicker Borradaile the sum of £1,40 0 with intent to cheat and defraud. Mr. Sergeant Parry said, in the abs3nca of Mr' Digby Seymour, he had to make an application that the trial of Sarah Rachel Leverson be post' poned until next session. He held in his hand an iffilavit from Mr. Roberts, her attorney, which tated that his client was then suffering under 3 very dangerous and serious attack of i:lucss, and such as would entirely preclude her from taking her trial during the present session. He also had to urge in support of postponement that with all diligence he had been quite 113 ‘ able to complete the steps necessary for the lefence. The case was a very intricate and lelicate one, and there was a correspondence which extended over 76 sheets of brief paper, and a largo number of letters were still in the hands of Mr' Froggart, which it was impossible to obtain with out certain claims were discharged. Since Satur day, the 4th of July, a very important communl‘ cation had been made which would show clearly the motives that had led to the prosecution. It was A the most vital importance that the trial should be postponed until next session. The Recorder—Why can't it be done during t l3° present ? Mr. Sergeant Parry—l am quite willing to te ll your lordship privately, but not publicly. The ill' formation we have received must be thoroughly sifted. I have also a certificate, signed by Dr. G• Johnson and Mr. Bernard Holt, of Saville-rovrf which states that they had that morning seen Sarah Rachel Leverson, who was suffering from acut e inflammation, and although they did not atatJ that it would be impossible for her to appear i° court, yet she would be unable to remain there for any considerable period without great danger, and the fatigue of coming would, aggravate her malady' The date of the certificate was July 6. The Recorder—You know what is appended to the depositions. There was a similar certificate sub' witted to Mr. Knox, but when he refused to take notice of it, and ordered the defendant to attend , she was in court in five minutes. Mr. M. Williams strongly objected to the appli' cation. Ile did not say ono word against the medi cal gentlemen who had signed the certificate, Il i they were gentlemen of the highest respecta,bilitif but he must remind the court that on one occasion when a similar certificate, which was signed bY Dr. Ferguson, bad been procured, the defen" lant was the same morning at Judges' Chatty hers endeavouring to obtain the means of prosecw ting other persons. Mr. Sergeant Parry said it was a very peculiar 3ase. The character of both the prosecutrix 51 the prisoner was at stake, and he therefore hope d his lordship would not assume that the virtue W 3g ill on one side. [he Recorder—Oh, no. Mr. M. Williams—There are other persons whose character has been assailed, who are very anxiou s that the trial should take place as early as possible; The Recorder said he had just been informed 01 another difficulty, the bail refused to be bound ove r for so long a time. Mr. Sergeant Parry—Then she must find fresh bail or remain in prison. The Recorder—Under all the circumstances think the trial ought to be postponed, but the bail must surrender her here at one o'clock on Thursday text, and if they don't change their minds, the de' fendant must be prepared with fresh bail, of which - weuty-four hours' notice must be given to Alessi . % Lewis. It is cl ear l y t o b e un d erstood that t h e ball must bring her here on Thursday next. The next Old Bailey sessions commence on th e 18th of August. MARKETS— 7 Ills DA Y. -- COTTON MARKET.
