Mr. Kemp appeared for the plaintiff, Mr. Howard representing defendant, the parties residing at Mitcham, Hertfordshire. When the case was called on, a conference en sued between the learned counsel on each side, and Mr. Howard said that the time taken up had been well employe 1, for the parties had come to an amicable settlement. Mr. Kemp—We have agreed to a verdict for £5O damages. The learned Doputy (Secondary) said that this was merely a court of inquiry, and the only questio❑ was one of damages.

Cheetham, who, as is known, are standing iu the Liberal interest for this division of the county, was finally inaugurated by a meet ing of the electors at Stockport on Monday, to whom both gentlemen made elaborate speeches. DEVON (EAST). —The first meeting of the electors of this new division of the county took place at Torquay on Monday night. The Conservative candidates, Viscount Cuurtenay and Sir L. Palk, were present, and the proceedings were of a very noisy character. Such a political meeting had not been witnessed in the town for years previously. The hon. candidates delivered addresses ex pressing themselvds against Mr. Gladstone's policy on the Irish Church question, in favour of financial boards, and the reduction of the general expenditure of the country. Mr. Edmonstone fol lowed with a resolution pledging the meeting to do its best to secure the return of the candidates. The resolution was duly seconded, and an amendment moved to the effect that no candidates be selected who were opposed to Mr. Gladstone. This was moved by Mr. Murray, and seconded by Mr. Wil kinson, working men. Indescribable confusion followed. Several working men addressed the meeting, reading extracts from the speeches deli vered at the Crystal Palace during the Protestant demonstration, and commenting thereon in any thing but a complimentary manner. Ninety-three hands were held up in favour of the amendment. The resolution was declared to be carried. HUDDERSFIELD.---Mr. E. A. Leatham, who only regained the seat for this borough, which he lost in 1865, a short time since, on the death of Mr. Cross laud, is, it is said, tD be opposed by Mr. C. Brook, jun., of Headsley Hall, I,:ices4ershire, in the Con servative interest. KILMARNOCK.—The representation of this district of burghs. which Mr. Bouverie has held since 1844, is to be assailed, for Mr. Edward Chadwick, of Manchester, is about to test the opinions of the electors in regard to a candidate of advanced Liberalism. NE WA.Rli. On Monday Mr. P. Handley spoke to the electors, congratulating the people generally on having recovered their ancient franchise ; giving in his adherence to Mr. Gladstone, especially on the Irish Church ; pronouncing for the ballot, and ex pressing an opinion in favour of arbitration for the settlement of trade disputes. _ . NOTTINGHAM.—The extreme Liberal candidate, Mr. Merriman, in the prosecution of his canvass, addressed a meeting of the electors on Monday night, and gave a full exposition of his opiaions, comprehending the abolition of all monopolies in Church and State, a Reform of the recent Reform Act, the ballot, and the disestablishment and disen dowment of the Irish Church. .PRESTON.—The Conservative candidate, Captain German, has retired from the contest for this borough ; and Lord Edward Howard and Mr. Leese, the Liberal aspirants, have at present the field to themselves, and have coalesced. STOKE-ON-TRENT.—Messrs. Melly and Roden, the Liberal candidates, addressed a large meeting of electors at Longton on Monday evening, and were received with much heartiness. The hon. gentle men entered fully into an explanation of their views, which are those of the advanced Liberal school, and they were frequently applauded while speaking. A resolution was passed unani mously, and with cheers, declaring them to be fit and proper persons to represent the borough, and pledging the meeting to do all in its power to secure their return. It is now stated that Mr. C. M. Campbell has at last been prevailed upon to come forward in the Conservative inierest. WIIITBY.—A large meeting of the Working Men's Association has been held in this borough for the purpose of promoting the return of Mr. W. H. Gladstone, now member for Chester. The pro ceedings were characterised by great unanimity and fervour, and it was determined that every effort should be made to carry out the object for which it should be convened. TOWER HAMLETS.—Last evening Mr. Samuda, one of the Liberal candidates for this borough, met a very large assembly of the constituency in a room in the shipbuilding yard of Messrs. Green, at Poplar. In a full address he expounded his prin ciples, which his course in Parliament as member for Tavistock since 1865 has made sufficiently well known. A requisition to Mr. Samuda has been signed by 4,006 electors. The House of Lords has sent to the French Senate another collection of public documents, en suite to those previously forwarded. Au exchange of these parliamentary publications has been going on between the two libraries for thirty years past. The Senate now possesses the Lords' Journals up to 1867 ; also Hansard's reports to the present time, as well as the Statutes at large from the period of Magna Charta to the 31st year of the reign of Queen Victoria. In the Library of the Luxem bourg are likewise to be found the Journals of the House of Commons, 110 volumes in folio, up to 1848, the whole collection of State TriJs, and an enormous quantity of sessional papers. On the other hand, the House of Lords is able to consult at any moment the principal collections of the French legislative documents and the minutes of the French Assemblies since 1789—those of the Senate forming 100 volumes; also, a selection of the great historical publications of France, and many ad ministrative papers deemed worthy of presenta tion.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS—(This Day). Eliza Brookes was indicted for stealing a ring and brooch, the property of her master. Mr. Brown, the prosecutor, said the prisoner had been in his service, and on account of certain sus picious circumstances he had had on a former occa sion to charge her with robbery, but he had hitherto forgiven her. The property named in the indictment has since that been stolen. The prisoner was at once suspected and accused of the robbery, which she stoutly denied. A constable was called and she was given into eustody, and on her arrival at the station house she did not renew her denial, but said the property had been pawned she believed somewhere . in the Edgware-road. In her defence she said the case had been got up against her through spite. Her master had on several occasions attempted certain familiarity, which she always repulsed. On the last occasion he did so he told her if she said anything about it he would punish her, not in the manner he did his apprentices, but in another way, and the pre sent charge was the carrying out of that threat. Mr. Brown denied that such was the fact. The girl was badly disposed, and the whole of the charges she had made against „him were totally and en tirely untrue. The prisoner reiterated the accusation. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and the learned Judge sentenced her to nine months' im prisonment with hard labour. On hearing the sentence the prisoner exclaimed, "Thank ye, my lord, CAll do that, but I shall suffer innocently ; but as for the prosecutor, the lies he has told will be upon him when he dies." POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-TIRS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREEI. CHARGE OF OBTAINING MONEY BY FALSE PRE TENCES.—Joachim Hubert Siddons, a gentlemanly looking man, described as an author, of No. 80, Kennington-road, was brought before Mr. Tyr whitt, on a warrant by Butcher, a plain cLothes offi cer of the C division, charged with obtaining the sum of £lO5 by false pretences from the _Lord Mayor while Alderman Allen. Messrs. Pritchard and Collette prosecuted ; the prisoner was not defended. The charge against the prisoner was, that he cashed a cheque at Alderman Allen's on the 22d January, 1866, and that at that time his account was closed. The prosecuting solicitor Eaid he was unable to go on with the Lord Mayor's case in consequence of his lordship being out of town, but he was pre pared with another case. Mr. Reece, of the Medical Hall, Piccadilly, said that while the prisoner was lecturing at Chang's Exhibition, Egyptian Hall, in January, 1866, the prisoner brought him a cheque on the Loudon and County Bank, and, believing he had au account at the bank, he cashed it for him. Subsequently, however, the cheque was returned to him marked " No account." The prisoner said he should be able to show that he had an account at the bank at the time. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the prisoner would be re manded for a week. The prisoner a3ked that bail might be taken. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he should certainly refuse bail, as he believed there were other charges against the prisoner. THAMES. BLUE FIRE AND YELLOW FIRE.—Two men, named George Cussey and Edward Blainey, were charged by the police with letting off and exhibiting blue fire and yellow fire in the Mile-end-road. Cussey said he had been to a bean feast with his workmates, and, on their return from the country, he let off a little blue fire, which had no gunpowder in it, and was not a firework. Mr. Benson held that blue-fire was a firework, although there was no gunpowder in its composi tion. Devices in fireworks were made without gun powder. Squibs, crackers, and other things con tained gunpowder. The exhibition of blue-fire from vans and other vehicles on the public roads was attended with danger. Horses were frightened and people alarmed. He must fine the defendant 2s. Gd. and 2s. costs. Blainey said he exhibited yellow fire, which was a chemical mixture, and contained no gunpowder. Mr. Benson—lt comes under the description of fireworks. You are fined 2s. 6d. and 2s. costs. Don't do that again. If you do the fine will be a heavy one. The fines were paid.

The dross circle com prised many of our principal resident families, the upper boxes were crowded, and from the pit and gallery many hundreds had to bo turned away. To every point of the play Miss Bateman does the fullest justice ; from her first appearance, whou pursued by a bigoted and intolerant tribe of villagers, to her death scene, on which the curtain falls, her acting boars the stamp of a rare genius. —Bristol Daily Post.

THE AMERICAN CHALLENGE YACHT RACE. EY - DE, Tuesday Evening. The great challenge race between the American yacht Sappho and English yachts took place to-day. There was a fine breeze. The American yacht carried away her jib boom when off Ventuor. She had no chance from the beginning. The Aline held a leading position for a long time. The Omaira then gradually overhauled and led. Round the Needles she was some distance ahead. In sailing up the Sol nt the Cambria passed the other yachts and came in first, the time being:— IL M. S.

DUBLIN, Tueslay. Saturday was the last day for serving notices of claims for the franchise under the new Act. In this city the entire number of claims sent in, both of the claimants under £4 and of those claiming as lodgers, is for the Liberals 4,387. The Conserva tive claims amount in all to 1,600, giving the Liberals a majority of 2,787. Thus, if the Libe rals only sustain half of their claims, and the Conservatives succeed in registering all of theirs, the former will still have a majority of 600 on the whole of the new votes. Of course it is far more likely that the voters registered on both sides will be proportioned to the claims. At the election for the city in 1859, when the highest number of votes polled was 4,251, Sir Ed ward Grogan had a majority of only 275 votes over Mr. Brady, and Mr. Vance a majority of 343 over Mr. M'Carthy, notwithstanding that 1,800 freemen voted for the Tory candidates. From this it will be seen that the new franchise will place the return of two Liberals for the Irish metropolis beyond doubt. A meeting of the proprietors of the National Bank was held yesterday in the city of Cork, for the purpose of taking into consideration the reve lations made at the recent trial of " M‘Kenna v. Usborne," in connection with the " floating " of certain unprofitable schemes through the agency of the bank. About fifty proprietors were present, and the proceedings lasted two hours. A resolution was passed pledging the proprietors not to disclose the business of the meeting. All that is known is that a committee was formed to organise the share holders in Ireland with a view to the adoption of measures to procure a reform in the board of directors. The following are the circumstances connected with the murder at Chapelizod, the fact of which was telegraphed yesterday. It appears that a Mr. James Metcalf was placed in charge of the " King's House," Chapelizod, by the Lord Chan cellor, to take care of it for a Miss Lawler, a lady of imbecile mind, who is possessed of considerable property. A Mr. Peter Joseph Dawson, a near re lative of Miss Lawler's, would seem to have taken umbrage at this appointment, and to have considered that he was better entitled to the charge. He visited the house on several occasions, and gave expression to threats against Mr. Metcalf, whom he ordered to leave the place. On Sunday after noon, between the hours of four and five o'clock, he was seen approaching the house with something like a bludgeon in his hand. Mr. Metcalf imme diately Mcked the doors and barred the windows to prevent his gaining admission. By some means he effected an entrance, and proceeded to the room in which Mr. Metcalf and his wife were. On approach ing Mr. Metcalf he said, " What, are you here still " Yes," replied Mr. Metcalf ; whereupon Dawson raised the weapon which he carried, and struck him a violent blown on the head, felling him to the floor. He then left the house ; and Mrs. Metcalf, finding her husband still insensible, sent for medical assistance, and called for the police. Police-constable Ford, 129 D, immediately got upon an outside car and drove towards Dublin. After a short time he came up with Dawson, and with great presence of mind he waited until he was close abreast of him before he made any attempt to arrest himn. When he came close upon Dawson he leaped off the car, seized him with one hand and wrested the bludgeon from him with the other, and took him prisoner. The bludgeon turned out to be the lancewood butt of a fishing-rod of very con siderable weight,' and about 2 feet 10 inches in length. Ford brought his prisoner to Bride well-lane Police Station, and iu the course of an hour Mr. Metcalf came into town for the pur pose of preferring the charge against him. At the station lie fainted, and had to be conveyed to Rich mond Hospital, where he died during the night. Dr. White, one of the city coroners, held au inquest ou the body yesterday afternoon, when a verdict of wilful murder was returned against Dawson, who was consequently committed upon the coroner's warrant to take his trial at the next commission. The funeral of the late Alderman Reynolds took place yesterday at G-lasnevin, and was largely attended by the members of the corporation and the citizens generally.
