MARLBORUUGU-STREET• ROBBERY AT A MANUFACTURING JEWELLER'S. James Pridhatn, in the employ of Messrs. Sheriff and Gilmer, manufacturing goldsmiths and jewel lers, of No. 34, Great Marlborough-street, as a polisher, was charged before Mr. Knox with steal ing two sets of sleeve studs of the value of £5, and also with having in his possession three billiard balls, supposed to be stolen. Mr. Alfred Sheriff said the prisoner was in the employ of the firm as a polisher. The prisoner left his work on Saturday week, and did not return till the following Tuesday, and from something which had transpired a suspicion arose that he was robbing them, and on looking amongst the articles the prisoner bad to polish two sets of sleeve studs of the value of £5 were missed. The matter was then placed iu the hands of Dawson, a plain clothes officer attached to the C division, who found that the prisoner had pledged the studs in Holborn. In answer to Mr. Knox, the prosecutor said that the prisoner had been in his employ for thirteen months, and that he had a good writteL character with him. An assistant to Mr. Harding, pawnbroker, of No. 113, Holborn, said that on the sth Ma. ; the two sets of sleeve studs were pledged with another assist ant, and on the 7th May the prisoner came and had a further adavnce of ss. on them. On the 9th inst. he (witness) gave information respecting the stud s in the Police List, and gave information at the Bow-street police station, and in consequence Mr. Sheriff came and identified them as his property. The prisoner subsequently came and offered three billiard balls in pledge, and on his (witness) asking him if he had not pledged some studs, he at first denied it, but afterwards admitted that he had, and a constable was then sent fur and he was given into custody. Police constable Littlefield, 165 F, said that on taking the prisoner into custody, he said he bought the billiard balls of a man at Debenbam's Rooms. Dawson asked that the prisoner might be re mandcd, to give the police an opportunity of mak ing inquiries respecting the billiard balls, mention ing that the prisoner bad been previously con victed. Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner. SHAMEFUL CONDITION OF A HORSE—AN ARTFUL DucK.—Charles Roberts, a carman, living in York place, Banner-street, St. Luke's, was charged by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, with cruelty to a horse by working it in a totally unfit condition. Simeon Sell, an officer of the above Society, saw the prisoner driving a horse attached to a van laden with iron in Regeut-street, and after going a short distance the horse fell down quite exhausted, and on the officer examining it he found it to have several bad and discharging wounds, and over one of the wounds was dexterously placed, with the view of screening it from observation, a piece of some other animal's skin, and the horse was other wise iu a totally unfit condition fur work. The prisoner told the officer that his master knew all about it. The case was adjourned that the prisoner's master might be summoned. TIJA IES.

The prisoner handed to him five sticks of negrohead tobacco weighing Goz. lie asked the prisoner if he had any more, tc. which he ep "Yes," here is a parcel which a m an on board the Orion gave me to carry on s h ore , an d h an d e d t r oh li i e m d abundle which consisted of several packages of tobacco weighing Glbs., and two packages con taining a pound of cigars ; in all, with the negro head, 71bs. Goz., which he seized. Mr. Paget—ls the Orion a steamship? Inspector Major—Yes, sir. Mr. Paget—Was the tobacco concealed ? Inspector Major—No, sir. Mr. Paget—l don't think the offence is complete. He might have intended to pay the duty. You would :take the tobacco to the Custom-house, of course ? Inspector Major—Yes, sir. DRUNK AND M URDERO LTS. —San) El el Murphy, an Irish carter, aged 50 years, was charged with stab bing his wife Mary, last night, with a pair of scis sors. The prisoner was very drunk last night in his house, No. 62, Limehouse, Causeway, and he quar relled with and made an attack on his wife, stab bing her on the neck with a pair of scissors, and inflicting a frightful wound. She was taken to the London Hospital, and the house surgeon of that valuable institution now stated the woman could not attend, and was not out of danger. The prisoner was remanded for a week. A case of alleged clerical neglect was investigated at Exeter yesterday. For several Sundays there had been no service in the Church of St. John and St. George, which parishes are united, and contain near 1,500 inhabitants. A dozen had latterly been the average attendance at the parish church. The bell was toiled on Sunday morning, and at ten o'clock the sexton was informed by the rector's son that there would be no service that day, as his father was ill and could not leave his home. Consequently the doors were closed. The same evening the senior warden of St. George's saw the rector behind the door in the South-Western Hotel, "in his slippers." It was stated at the meeting that the rector was an excellent singer of " The Cock-tailed Pig." A deputation of the parishioners was appointed to represent the case to the bishop of the diocese.

Graces will be jubmitted to the Senate at the Congregation on Wednesday, May 20, to accept Mr. Whitworth's offer of the three Exhibitions of £25 for one year, and to place the disposal of them in the hands of the Vice-Chancellor. In the event of these Graces being approved by the Senate the Vice-Chancellor will receive applications from members of the University in statu pupillari, who may be disposed to become candidates for the Exhibitions on and until the 31st instant. Such applications must be sent by the tutors of the can didates, and be accompanied with certificates of good moral character, and testimonials of proficiency from their tutors or some University professor. At the same Congregation Graces will be sub mitted to the Senate : 1. For confirming the scheme for the classical tripos examination, as amended by the Syndicate last Term. 2. For confirming the scheme fur a law and his tory tripos. 3. For confirming the report of the Syndicate as to the admission of non-collegiate students to the University. This will be offered to the Senate in two parts, of which the first relites only to the necessary alteration of the statute, and the other to the rules under which such students may be ad mitted. The Professor of Music gives notice to candidates for the degrees of Mus.D. and Mus.B., that he will hold an examination on Friday, the 29th inst., at 10 o'clock a.m. Each candidate is requested to send in his name and the name of his college, to gether with the exercise required by the statutes, to the Professor, care of Messrs.

Clark, 79, Trumpington-street) on of before Monday, the 25th of May, specifying those who wish to be examined in .llindoo and Mahomo dan law. Also to send the names of candidates for the special examination in natural science to the Senior Examiner (Professor iiumphry), on or be fore the same day, specifying the subject in which each desires to be examined. The Vice-Chancellor has appointed the Rey. W. G. Clark, M.A., the public orator, to be the Lady Margaret's Preacher for the year ensuing. Mr. William Rann Kennedy, B.A. (First Classic, 1868), has this day been elected a Fellow of Pem broke College. A NOBLE DEED-: During a dark and stormy night the schooner William Barker, of Whitby, while attenipting some time ago to entar the harbour of that port struck the east pier, causing her to drive heavily on the rocks behind the pier, south of the harbour. Im mediately the perilous position of the vessel was seen the rocket apparatus was brought into use, as neither lifeboat at Whitby could, in conse quence of the heavy sea then running, approach the rocks; but just as the hawser was being got on board the vessel, a heavy sea struck her, which drove her round a projecting point of rock out of sight, thus rendering it impossible to fire for the second time a rocket on board. At this juncture it was found that the only means left to save the unhappy crew was by descending, a cliff on to a narrow ledge of rock nearly 300 feet above the sea. This was safely accomplished, with much difficulty and risk, by Mr. W. T. Quigley, chief officer of the Coastguard, J. Dixon, and eight other men, who had a hawser attached to them, and which was used in turn as a lowering line. At length, and after considerable difficulty, owing to the darkness of the night and the preci pitous cliff, the crew of three men were hauled up in a very exhausted state, the master having had his leg broken. The vessel shortly after wards went to pieces, and there is no doubt that, in the absence of the prompt and courageous ser vices of the r fficers and Mal above referred to, the shipwrecked crew must have perished. The Na tional Lifeboat Institution has presented to Mr. Quigley its silver medal, accompanied by a copy of its vote inscribed on vellum, and a handsome re ward has been given by the institution, the resi dents of the locality, and others, to the nine men who assisted him. THE CASE OF CRUELTY TO A CHILD AT MARGATE' —We understand that Mrs. Loma-, who was convicted at the January Dover quarter sessions for cruelty to her child, Agnes Lomax, and sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment, has since given birth to a child. The child, however, died, and Mrs. Lomax has since become insane, and has been sent to a lunatic asylum. —Maidstone Journal.

A number of the rioters were brought before the magis trates on Wednesday at Ashton, the bench being occupied with the examination of prisoners the whole day. Eight Irishmen were first brought up, including Flynn, the laden One was discharged, and seven were committed to the sessions for trial. Their cases concluded, fifteen Englishmen were charged with attacktig St. Ann's Chapel. Although the court sat until two o'clock, a decision had not been arrived at. At Stalybridge seven men were charged with rioting, of whom two were discharged and five committed for trial. An inquest has been held on Mary Bradbury. No wounds or bruises were found upon her, and a verdict of " Died from fright " was returned. Ibbetson, who was injured, is progressing favourably, and so also is Sergeant Woodley, of the Volunteer corns. who was shot. Two volumes of memoirs of Lord Byron, by the Marchioness de Boissy, have appeared in Paris. The wheat crop in the South of England is look ing very promising. It is estimated that it will yield three sacks an acre more than last year's crop. A serious disturbance has taken place at ileeley. The English and French navvies employed on the railway works there, while assisting to empty an eighteen-gallon cask of beer to which they had been treated by an old comrade, came into collision, and several on both sides were considerably injured. Four of the combatants are in custody. The men on strike in the South Staffordshire iron trade are reluctant to accept the defeat which but too certainly awaits them. Their cause from the first has been a hopeless one. They entered upon the contest when trade was unusually dull ; they bad no funds, and public opinion was strongly opposed to such a step. Secessions from their ranks are of daily occurrence, and men are fast resuming work at the " drop." At a meeting of the Liverpool Town Council it was stated that the surplus income would amount to upwards of £6,000, and out of that amount it was resolved to pay is. a week towards the keep of each boy committed by the borough magistrates to the refuge and night asylum for homeless and destitute boys, one of the most useful and well-managed local charities. EXPLOSION IN A WELSH COLLIERY.—A terrible explosion occurred on Wednesday morning at the Techon Colliery, near Llanelly.

BARBARITY IN THE WORKSHOP.—The Antwerp journals mention au ac t of b ar b arous crue lty committed in A workshop of that c it y. One of the men lately engaged w as Stokketsel, aged 18 , and his compan i ons d eman ded from him to stand treat, as i s usual on suc h occas i ons . He either could not or would not comply, an d they proceeded to grossly maltreat him. " Let us crucify him," said one; and thereupon the unfortunate young man was bound hand and foot to an iron cross, and subjected to extreme ill-usage. He went home to dinner, and although he did not wish to return to his work, the entreaties of his mother induced him to do so. In the evening h e was o bli ge d to go to bed in great suffering, and he h as s i nce died in the h osp it a l. The other workmen have been arrested. FORGED ANTI QUITIES.—The surreptitious trade introduced by the man known as Jack " Flint," it appears, is being carried on on the Yorkshire Wolds by n unerous imitators. Last week Mr. Charles Hartley, of Malton, succeeded in tracing and exposing a wholesale vendor of spurious arrow-heads of flint, who had various connections along the line of railway across the Vold. The forged flints are sold to farm servants, and by them disposed of to unwary collectors. News is also to hand that " Flint Jack" himself (who has just been released after a year's Imprisonment in Bedford gaol) is also at work at his old trade of deception, and has been driving a lucrative trade at Northampton, so much so that one of the local papers finds it requisite to giv e a cau ti o n against the purchase of all "flint arrows and stone celts." A Maidstone paper takes the trouble to announce that "there is no foundation whatever" for the rumour that Mr. Charles Antart 'Tardy would mutest the second seat for East Kent at the general election. The rumour in question must have been confined to Maidstone, for no one outside that borough had heard anything about it. Mr. Hardy has been mentioned as a Conservative candidate for Greenwich, but certainly not for East Kent. The gentleman in question is a son of the Home Secretary. An active movement against Mr. Gladstone is going on in South Lancashire. Circulars soliciting subscriptions for contesting the right hon. gentleman's seat have, pical ac cording to the Daily New , bee n i ssue d , b ear i ng t h e signa ture of a near relative of the Earl of Derby. Our contemporary, g Mr. Gladstone's seat t to arms, and advises corre sponding be in danger, part of th e Lib era l par t y , no t merely for defensive but a ggressive purposes. It suggests that a suitable Liberal c ollea gue should be selected, with whom Mr. Gladstone might be enabled to fight the coming exertions sosounds far on from the battle. The Daily News takes up the question which the Times has been asking for several days Past, namely, as to when a dissolution could take place under the new registers. The former points out that unless the general election could take place in the early days of Octobe r , it wou ld b e scarce l y worth while for Parliament .to alter the pro v isi o n i n last g the new cons tit uenc i es from next. Supp os i ng the elect i on to come off in November, there could not be time for a busi ytehare's 1s ReformtJanuary Act creating busi ness session before Christmas. Consequently, the present Government would meet the now Parliament for the first time in February, just the. same as if th e e l ec ti ons were actually in January. Not till then could the Liberal party, an f d oll s 2 P all in the delay consequent on assuming them to be in a majority, take action to regain theret h e Treasury would necessarilybenches, g them to be successful, forming a new Government. This would make it impos sible for Mr. Gladstone to prepare and bring forward any new measures with a chance of passing them during the session of 1569. Thus not only the present, but next year, would be wholly wasted. Besides, a general election in October would be far preferable to one in the short days and amid the snowstorms of November and January.

RITUALIS The Earl of SHAFTESBURY, at the request of the Bishop of London, postponed his question as to the report of the Commissioners appointed to inquire into the ques- Lion of ritualism until to-morrow evening. THE FRIENDLY SOCIErIES BILL. Tho Earl of LIO/riFIELD said that as there appeared to be some doubt as to the course he intended to pursu., ho might state that he should move for a select com mittee. RELIGIOUS, &c., BUILDINGS (SITES) BILL. Lord GRAN ‘VORTH m, vett the second reading- of this bill, whicu tie stated would greatly facilitate the convey. once of any property which might be appropriated as a religious site. Lord ROM ILLY said ho entirely agreed with his noble and learu,d friend in bringing on this matter, which was, iu fact, the doing away with the Statute of korttuain with reg ru to small charities. He thought, however, that the statute of inorttuain was particularly protective of stuall charities, and the whole expense in many cases would only amount to about U. This slight expense would prevent the property given to charities ever being diverted. Lord UIIELIES FORD said he did not rise to oppose his noble and learned friend with re.gard to the bill, but ha agreed %vial his noble and learned friend who had just spoken teat there should be no s;:cret tran,fer of propeity, and that there should be an enrolment, and therefore he should certainly support the clauses t..) be introduced by The LORD CHANCELLOR said that he did not mean to oppose the bid in its second readiug, but be would assure his noble frieud that the country was not geuerally so favourable to his bill as hu thought. lie had had an iuterview with a large deputation of the Dissenters, and they were opposed to it, although he should himself have thought that they would be glad of lessening the espouse. They said the trust deeds were lost, and they had iouud by the eurohneut of the court a great safeguard, as they could always get an office copy of the deed of settlement. Re thought, therefore, that tuey should to careful and considerate before they took an absolute step in the matter. He thought that a more simple process might be adopted ; the deed might be filed as au affidavit ; and it could be obtained at a slight expense. The bill was read a second time. - THE DUOHY OP CORNWALL (AMENDMENT) BILL. This bill was read a seuond time and passed. iLiiPT SITTING.] HOUSE OF C.IOMAIONS—'rms EVENING. The SPEAKER took the Chair at 4 o'clock. PUBLIC ROAD WAYS. Mr. GOLDNEY asked the member for Bath whether the Board of Works was aware that' iron gates were still continued at the end of Devonshire-place and Wimpole-street, being one of the principal thoroughfe res between Oxford-street and the New-road, and that such gates were refused to be opened to the public unless a gratuity was given to the gatekeeper; and if the boara were aware td whether they proposed to take any st eps w i t h reference thereto ; and to ask further, whether the road was prepared at the public expense or by any private in dividual. Mr. TITE said there were a large number of those gates in the metropolis, no less than thirty of thaw being in the parish of St. Pancras. The Board of Wcrks had no power in the matter. It was a very difficult ci;ecumstanee to deal with, but he hoped Parliament would take the subject into consideration with a view to bringing forward a measure on the subject. lie believed the repairs when necessary were done by the parish. - PARK-LANE. Viscount HAMILTON asked the First Commissioner of Works upon whom rested theresponsibility of the pre sent impeded state of the thoroughfare in Park -lane ; why the works had continued so long unfinished; and how many men a day were employed upon them, and when there was a probability of the works being completed. Col. HOUG said he thought he could best answer that question. The Metropolitan Board of Works were at pre sent engaged in widening the thoroughfare iu Park-lane. An arrangement had been made by which the roadway was to be 40 feet wide, the footway on the east side 10 feet, and the west side 8 feet. The contractor had exceeded the thue he had been allowed to carry out the work, but this perhaps had been caused by the determination to level the road in certain places which was not at first contem e le.ted. Twenty men are at present engaged on the works, and the reason no greater number was employed was because no more could be conveniently kept at work.._ At one time there b a d b een 100 wor k men employed. The road to Mount-street, to Oxford-street, and the other new thoroughfares would all be open to the public in the course of a few days. THE COMPOUND HOUSEHOLDER. Mr. H. B. SHERIDAN asked the Secretary to the Poor Law Board what steps the . ioverntuent proposed to take to xemedy the alleged evils and hardships which had re sulted from the abolition of the compound householder ; whether it was intended to introduce some general scheme of uniformity of poor rate, or whether it was intended to await the report of the select committee on poor rates assessment, &c. Sir M. lIEEO/1 said he thought the question ought to have been addressed to a more responsible Minister of the Crown, considering the compound householder had formed the subject of two of the most important divisions in the Reform All. (Hear; hear.) There was nothing in the bill to be brought forward by the Poor-law board that would affect the matter; and with respect to the latter part of the question, ho did not think that it would be advisable to legislate without waiting for the report of tue Com mission. THE COMMISSIONERS. Sir C. RUSSELL asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether it was true that in a report of a committee (com posed of Mr. Goolburn, the Vice-Controller of Customs, air. Farrar, and Mr. Williams, of the Board of Trade), presented to the Treasury in June, 1.865, a strong recent ineudatiou was made of the expediency of employing com missionaires in the various civil departments of the United ii;:gtioin, on the special grounds of "efficiency" and " uowy ;" and, if so, whether there would ha any 0bi... 0 - atm on the part of the Government to produce that part of the report relating to the corps of commi.sionaires ? Mr, S. BOOTH said the committee in question made no such general recommendation ; on the contrary, it recom mended that merely two commissionaires should be em ployed in the Registry of Seamen Offico, but nothing further. FIRST CLERK OF CUSTOMS. Mr. STOCK asked the Secretary to the Treasury why the first clerk in the customs at Dublin should have a salary of only £lOO a year, his collector's salary being £l,OOO, when the first clerk at Glasgow had a salary of £450, although his collector's salary was only 4:80U ? Mr S. BOOTH said the hon. gentleman had been misin formed, as both officers received the same salary, viz., £350 a year, rising gradually to £4OO. THE IRISH CHURCH BILL. Colonel KNOX begged to ask the right hon. gentleman the member for South Lancashire after what hour by woatd move for leave to introduce his Suspensory Bill with respect to the temporalities of the Irish Church. Mr. GLAWSTONE had no difficulty in answering the question. The motion for leave to introduce a bill, he believed, in conformity with the ordinary usages of Par liatnent, could have been made by him when the chairman reported the passing of the resolutions through com mittee, and leave was generally accorded. But he was desirous of not taking such a step until the answer cf her Majesty to the address had been read, and therefore ho did not avail himself of that opportunity. Under such circumstances he had hoped that he should not have been opp sad as be:was yesterday when ho moved for per mission to introduce the bill. As ha could command no particular day fur making his motion, he should avail himself of th 3 first opportunity that pre sented i self ; therefore ho could not now say at what hour the motion would be made. Ho might say that he did not intend to allcw the matter to drag on for any inordinate length of time. Colonel KNOX, amidst loud cries of " Order, order," said that the mamba) a on his side of the house intended to give the motion their moat serious opposition BOUNDARY BILL. On the motion for going into committee on the Boundary Bill, Mr. GLA DSTONE drew attention to the various pre visions of this bill, and tho numberless difficulties that would have to be encountered, more especially wish respect to the primary question of boundary. Ho thought the parliamentary boundary ought to he municipal boundary, and he very much dispaired of getting through with the bill before the 10th of June, which it was necessary to do in order to render it available for the present year. Mr. DISRAELI said he thought many of the difficul ties found out by the right hon. gentlemen wore ground less, but ho doubted not those difficulties if they wore con sidered with patience and temper could be sur mounted in a manner satisfactory to the house, and ho hoped of the country. He did not consider the bill at all a party measure, as he should consider every member sitting on this side of the house perfectly free to express their opinions as far as justice required. He did not anticipate any of the difficulties as insurmountable, but, if it became necessary, they could resort to morning sittings, and if the necessity should arise that reference to a select committee should be requisite or a remission of the bill to the commissioners for reconsidera tion, he thought still they would be enabled to get through the bill in time to accomplish the purpose desired. (Hear, hear.) No spirit of party would be evinced on thie side of the house, and the Government would do all in its power to secure the consideration of the bill in a perfectly open manner. Mr. HIBBERT said after the statement of the right hon. gentleman he should feel it his duty to persevere with the motion which stood in his name. Mr. BASS thought it would expedite business in the long run if the bill was referred to a small select com mittee Mr. BRIGHT said the whole of the difficulty arose in consequence of Parliament not giving the po wer to the Boundary Commissioners to contract; a ll they wer© to do was to increase, or, in other words, to drag 400,000 voters from the county to the borough constituencies. (flear, hear.) That was exactly what h was doing, although not so set forth. He thought, if it was the desire of both parties, ir respective of party tactics, that the difficulty in the Boun dary Bill might be got rid of in two or the days at the most. (LEFT SPEAKING.)
