The Markets are firm, but not animated. The Demo' account, beginning.to-day, has perhaps some thing to do with the want of an active general busi 9ess.

Cardinal Cullen delivered a double lecture on Friday night in the Catholic University. Part of it was addressed to the students, but the more im portant part of it to the Government. His Eminence embraced the opportunity presented at the close of the session of the Historical Society connected with the institution to refer to the recent negotiations on the subject of a charter. He observed that since they met at the beginning of the session hopes had been entertained of a change in the existing state of things which would put the Catholics of Ireland upon a footing of equality with their Protestant fellow -countrymen. The bishops proposed that a charter and endowment should be given to that University, but that fair and moderate demand was refused. They next pro posed that the college authorities should be allowed sufficient power to prevent the use of dangerous books and secure the removal from the chairs of the University of any persons who might inculcate doc trines dangerous to morals. He justified this de mind 1 y reference to the circumstances of the pre sent times, when the source of instruction is replete, as he said, with doctrines dangerous to truth and faith, when indifferentism and pernicious maxims are publicly proclaimed in Universities from the Professors' chairs. As an instance of the effect of such teaching he mentioned that one hundred students at Paris lately called out in favour of Atheism. He also referred to the writings of Dr. Colenso and the principle of the " Godless Colleges, " to illustrate the cha racter of the war against truth, and the duty of defending themselves against " prowling wolves." He observed that Protestants took precautions against the introduction of Catholic doctrines in their Universities, although they inconsistently pro claimed the right of private judgment. He com plained of the manner in which the prelates had been treated in reference to the correspondence, but said it was not a matter of surprise, for the same spirit had been shown for 300 years. At the Refor mation the educational resources of the country had been seized and appropriated for Protestant schools, colleges, and Universities, and so ignorance was pro moted, while the talent and genius of our noble Celtic race were smothered. If it had not been for this per secution Ireland might have produced her Dante, her Shakspere, her Raphael, and her Michael An gelo. It might be said that Protestants had gained what they had lost, but Trinity College had not produced any great Church historians, any great theologians or commentators on the Scriptures. Ile condemned the Queen's Colleges and the national system as most prejudicial to religion. He com plained that the National School books were with out life or patriotism, that they had been compiled by Scotchmen and Englishmen, and he contrasted this " system of monopoly and insulting ascend ancy" with the growth of educational liberty in Spain, France, and Prussia. The events of the last few weeks, he said, gave hopes of a better future. CAST-STEEL AND WROUGHT-IRON BOILERS. Some interesting practical experiments, for ascer taining the relative merits of cast-steel and wrought iron for boiler-plates, have recently been made at Messrs. F. Harkort and Sons', Ilarkorter Iron works, at Schonthal, near Wetter, 11restphalia, and the results obtained were decidedly in favour of steel. The two boilers employed were used in con nection with the puddling and rolling-mills, and were both of the same form and size, being cylin drical, 30 ft. long, 4ft. diameter, with dome 2ft. high by 2 ft. wide ; the thickness of the iron plates was a little over 4-10ths of an inch, and that of the steel plates inch, and the respective weights 8,975 lbs. for the iron, and 5,842 lbs. for the steel. It was found whilst a pound of coal evaporated 3.20 lbs. of water in the steel boiler, it evaporated only 2.51 lbs. in the iron ore. To perform the same amount of work it required in the wrought-iron boiler 28 per cent. more fuel and 30 per cent. more time. The coal used was that from Ruhrort. At the Ilarkorter Work they have now 15 steel boilers in use, and one of them, which is made of soft Bes semer steel, has been found to give quite as good results as the others. There was, likewise, a marked diminution in the amount of incrustation in the steel boilers, owing probably to the extreme smoothness of the surface ; water which gave an incrustation of k inch in two years in the wrought iron boilers, gave in the steel boilers an incrusta tion scarcely perceptible,-21/ining Journal. A case was tried on Saturday in the Court of Exchequer in which the responsibility of police officers for transgressing the strict limits of their authority was vindicated by a jury. It arose out of the trial of " Captain " Mackay at Cork. Among the spectators in the gallery were the captain's sister-in-law, Miss Mary O'Connell, and two other ladies. In the evening they were about to leave the court when a constable informed them that Captain Barry, the county inspector, required them to be searched. They were brought into the court keeper's room, where Miss O'Connell was obliged to undress, and was subjected by the women who perform such duties to a very minute, and, as she complained, a scandalous search. She asked to have the blinds of a window which was overlooked by others pulled down, but the searcher refused her reque s t. One of her companions was similarly treated, but the third would not submit to be searched, and became very excited. A constable threatened to arrest them, and they were detained for about 20 minutes and then released. Three ac tions were immediately instituted against the in spector and the constables, and Miss Mahony's was disposed of on Friday. The defence was that she was suspected of having revolvers about her, and the police were empowered under the Peace Pre servation Act to examine persons who were open to the suspicion of carrying arms in a proclaimed dis trict. She admitted that Mackay was in the habit of going openly to her father's house at a time when there was an offer of a reward for his apprehension. Ile carried a revolver. Robberies of arms had oc curred in the city, and her father's house had been searched about three weeks before the trial. The jury, however, did not hold the defendants justified, but found a verdict for the plaintiff with £5O da mages and 6d. costs. The United States war steamer Canandaigua, 7 guns, Captain Strong, from Lisbon, arrived at South ampton on Thursday morning, and anchored near the Franklin and Ticonc/erogq. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 6, 1868. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. Business done. 831 3 72/ OLD COURT. LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. IN RE PETO, BETTS, AND CRAMPTON. These bankrupts came up to-day to pass their last examination for the orders of discharge. Mr. Linklater, for the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company, said accountants had been en gaged' on both sides, and he was willing to allow the company's proof to the amount of £560,000 to appear, but those figures must not be taken in any way to prejudice their large claim of £6,600,000. His Honour asked if there any opposition to the orders of discharge being granted, and on being in formed there was none, he said he should grant the orders without expressing an opinion in the matter. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—(This Day.) The July sessions of the Central Criminal Court commenced this morning. There are upwards of 100 prisoners for trial. Tht; Recorder, in charging the grand jury, said the calendar contained the names of a more than usual number of persons for trial, and the offences with which they stood charged, although happily not embracing one of murder, yet they were of a very serious nature. There was one attempt to com mit the capital offence, and two cases of arson, but one that would probably call for their greatest at tention was an indictment preferred against a per son named Sarah Rachel Leverson, who stood charged with unlawfully obtaining, by false pre tences, from Mary Ricker Borradaile, the sum of £1,400. The case was of a very peculiar nature, and connected with it was a very voluminous cor respondence, and as that had not been returned to him he had to ask them to read the whole of it very carefully before they disposed of the case, but there appeared to be a curious chain of evidence,. which, of course, they would hear in the course of the case, and having done so it would be for them to say whether there was a prinza facie case against the prisoner, and if so it would be their duty to return a true bill. There was also a case of much importance to the commercial world, and, that was the indictment preferred against three 1 persons named Frankle, Harris, and Rewman, for feloniously having in their possession divers papers purporting to be Russian rouble notes. The offence of having forged Russian notes in their posses sion was one that had already led to a long and patient inquiry, and it was much to be desired that the parties who appeared to make a trade in these forged securities should be discovered and punished. They would have the whole of the evidence placed before them, and, having considered it, say whether there was sufficient to put the prisoners on their trial before another tribunal. He did not think it necessary to refer to any of the other cases in the calendar, but every assistance would be rendered them in the event of their requiring any. The grand jury then retired to their room, and the trials shortly afterwards were proceeded with. violent, though he had previously gone quietly. The police said they would not hold Ferguson so tightly if he would go quietly, and he did so, but on Mr. Philpott again interfering, he became vio— lent again. He (witness) got assistance for the.• police, and saw them do no more than necessary to take the prisoner to the station. Inspector Harrison said the police had a great deal of trouble in such cases through persons inter fering who knew nothing about the matter. Police-constable Loosley, 46 C, said that he was obliged to be a little rough with Ferguson, as he tried to choke him. It was all through Mr. Phil pott interference that Fergusion became violen'J, and he would have gone quietly had he 'dot done so. Mr. James Hollis, of No. 283, Oxford-street, complained of the great annoyance he had received, in common with other inhabitants of Oxford-street, and said that he coull not on Sunday evealugs oc cupy any of his rooms in comfort. Mr. Tyrwhitt said it all arose from the preacher, who howled forth and attracted people who had nothing better to do. Preaching was always tolerated till it created an obstruction, and when it did so, it should be swept away, preachers and all, by the police. There was no doubt that the preacher had caused all the mischief in the present case. He had no doubt, what between the howling of the preacher and the bawling of the persons collected, it was a great nuisance, and was a good reason for the police interfering. He believed but for the un necessary interference of the witness (Philpott) the p risoners would have gone quietly to the station, the prisoners taking advantage of his interference on their behalf, most unnecessarily so, as he (Mr. Tyrwhitt) thought. He did not believe the police had illtreated the prisoners. He should discharge Healey, and fine Ferguson ss. SHARE LIST. ORDINARY di:URNS AND STOCKS. there Railways. Paid. 'Bristol and Exeter ....

A fleet of Barking smacks were fishing off the Texel, when, at daybreak, they were run into by the steamer, which narrowly missed the first, went right over the second, and damaged the third. On the approach of the steamer the smacks all burnt a "flare up," but the warning was unheeded. The Lioratia, which was lost, was a fine new smack, of 50 tons burden, and six of her crew were drowned. MEDICAL PRIZES.—The Astley Cooper Prize of £3OO has been awarded to Dr. Braidwood, of Birkenhead, for his essay on Pycemia. A prizo of £5O is offered to members of the University of Oxford for an essay on "the comparative longevity of different species of lower animals, and the longevity of man in different states of civilization." THE LOSS OF THE VOLGA.-ADMHIALTT, July 4.- Intelligence has been received at the Admiralty that Mr. Prederiok J. Whittaker, assistant-engineer, 2d class, of the Rinaldo, who was supposed to have been lost in the steamer Volga in March last, reached the island of Miaki, about 80 miles from Yokohama, in a boat belonging to the Volga. CHARGE OF PERJURY. A showily-dressed young woman, named Stagg, surrendered to an indictment charging her with having committed perjury. The prisoner had, it appeared, been intimate, it was stated, with a man named Stevens, and she had taken proceedings against him for the support of the infant, of which she said he was the father. The prose cutrix said the prisoner came to her and asked her to swear that she had seen Stevens in her bedroom. This the prosecutrix said she could not do, as it was not true, when the prisoner turned round and fat 1 that she would not swear that she had seen St3vens in her (prosecutrix's) room. On the hearing of the summons the prisoner was asked if she had not 'nide use of the threat to the prosecutrix, when she swore she did not. The prosecutrix having corro borative evidence that the prisoner had made use of the threat the present trial was the result. Mr Lewis made a strong appeal for the prisoner, and the jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of not guilty. CHARGE OF ARSON. The grand jury ignored the bill of indictment _preferred against William Norman for feloniously and maliciously setting fire to his dwelling-Tiouse, divers persons being therein. The trial of the two lads named Smith for the munlerous assault on Mrs. Nunn will in all proba bility take place on Wednesday, and that of Madame Rachel on the following day. LORD SHAFTESBURY AND HIS STEWARD. Mr. Green applied to the court to allow the recognisances of the Earl of Shaftesbury and also those of the defendant to be discharged, intimating at the same time that it was not the intention of the prosecution to proceed any further with the charge of embezzlement.—The Recorder, who ap peared surprised at the application, said at present he certainly did not feel justified in acceding to the request, and the matter must be brought before the judges later in the session. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. -THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. - _ STREET PREACHING NUISANCE. —TWO rough looking me n , named John Ferguson and Michael Healey, were c h arge d before Mr. Tyrwhitt with drunk and disorderly conduct. Benstead Webb, 112 C, said that at half-past 8 the previous night, he was at the corner of Thomas street, Oxford-street, where a crowd had assembled, in consequence of a man preaching, when he saw the two prisoners,who had walked from the Victory public-house, and who were both drunk, force their way into the crowd. Ferguson took off his hat, and every time the preacher waved his hand Ferguson imitated him by waving his hat, which caused a great disturbance, and he had to take the prisoners into custody with assistance. Mr. Alfred Park Philpott, of No. 12, Edward street, Portman-square, said that last night he was passing along Oxford-street with his wife, and, seeing a crowd collected in Thomas-street, he went up to ascertain the cause, when he found a man was preaching, and, after being there about two minutes, the prisoners went into the crowd, and the police came up and told them to move on, and 46 C took hold of one, 'and the other ran away, and was caught by 112 C, and both of them were taken into custody, but there was not the slightest cause for doing so. He asked the police why they took the prisoners, and they told him to mind his own business ; and on his following to the station the police said that if he did so they would take him too. On the way to the station 46 C threw. Ferguson, and the police behaved very roughly to him. The prisoners were not drunk, though they might, and probably were, sinful people, and were of the class of people the preacher might benefit._ _ Inspector Harrison said there were three gen tlemen present to support the police. Mr. Henry Mitchell, of No. 168, Oxford-street, "-street, said th a t y es t er d a y even opposite g he noise as usual on S un d a y evening— in h e T a rhdo a m a sort of howling of a man's monstrous voice, he more generally talking between two and three hours, causing him to feel quite nervous. After enduring the annoyance for several Sunday even ings he went down yesterday evening and asked him to lower his voice. Seeing the police there, he asked them if they could not remove the preacher, and they said they could not, but that they would report his complaint. The two prisoners then came across the road and forced their way into the crowd, and got in front of the preacher and imitated him, and then there was a good deal of excitement and the police removed the prisoners. He had attended the court in the hope that some thing might be done to remove the nuisance. Mr. Adrian Blaiser, of No. 5, Duke-street, Grosvenor-square, said that he stopped a short time to hear the preacher, and saw the two prisoners come from the Victory publichouse, both of them being intoxicated, but one more than the other, to the other side. They then forced their way into the crowd, and as soon as they got in made a row by imitating the preacher's movements. The police took them into custody, and then Mr. Philpott in terfered, and as soon as Ferguson found that some one was interfering in hid behalf he became very WESTMINSTER. CLEVER DETECTION OF A "TII EF. —Sophia Wil liams, a charwoman, living at 6, Masker-street, Chelsea, was charged with stealing numerous arti cles the property of Elizabeth Milner, a dressmaker, living in the same house. Henry Jepson, of Great Great James-street, said —On Thursday night I received a 'Ater from the prosecutrix, stating that she had been robbed. I went to her house on Sunday, and, with Mrs. Milner's consent, concealed myself beneath her bed. Mrs. Milner then locked up her apartments, and told prisoner, who occupied the kitchen, that she should not be home until late. About twenty minutes after the prosecutrix had left, I heard a key placed in the door of the room. The prisoner then walked into the room, and from there into the front parlour. I heard her ransacking boxes, &c. Did not see what she was -doing, but waited patiently. Presently she came into th t back-room. I had previously placed a baske of clean linen on a chair. She examined the basket, and selected from it two new pillow cases. She was then walking out of the room with them when I moved. Hearing the noise, the priso ner went and put the pillow-case back on to the basket. She then came to the bedside, and, lifting up the coverlid, looked at me full in the face. (Laughter.) I detained her ; she trembled very much, and asked me to let her go. I sent for a constable and gave her into custody. The prosecutrix deposed that the prisoner had no business whatever in her room. The key pro ducal, with which the prisoner effected an entry, , was a false one. The police produced 41 duplicates of pledged property, many relating to articles belonging to the Drosecutrix. --- Mr. Selfe remanded the prisoner until Friday. THAMES. IMPUDENT ROBBERY.—William Smitb, aged 22 years, who was described as a lighterman, of 47, St. Vincent-street, Stepney, was brought before Mr. Benson, charged with the following impudent robbery. Mrs: Stone, the wife of a tobacconist, of 47, Hardinge-street, Ratcliff, stated that the prisoner came into her shop and asked for half an ounce of tobacco. She took down down a jar, and was about to put her hand in to obtain the required quantity, when the prisoner put his hand in the jar, took out the whole of the contents, and ran away. She pursued him and called out stop thief. He was stopped and brought back. Stephen Emerton, a police-constable, No. 433 K, said he was passing along Hardinge-street in plain clothes on Saturday night, and saw the pri soner running. He stopped him. He could find no tobacco upon him. This morning he looked into an area which the prisoner had passed and found a large piece or lump of tobacco, which the prosecutrix bad no doubt was her property. The prisoner said he was quite innocent; he was mistaken for another person. Mr. Benson—How came you to be running ? The Prisoner—l ran because the others ran that's all. Mr. Benson—You have been here before. The E'risoner—Only for being drunk. Police-sergeant Freeston, No. 58 IC, said he be lieved the prisoner was a returned convict. lie had not seen him for eight years. The prisoner was more than 22 years of age, and was not a lighter man. lie wished the prisoner to be remanded ; if the Magistrate would adopt that course he should be obliged. ➢lr. Benson thought he had seen the prisoner on a charge which was not drunkenness. Ile re manded the prisoner for a week. MARKETS-7 HIS DAY. METROPOLITAN CATTLE. Notwithstanding the bad state of trade in the dead meat market, live stock is still brought largely to sale, such is the difficulty of feeding from the protracted drought. The number of beasts on sale to-day was 5,210, of which 10 were from Scotland, 3,300 from the various English pastures, 26 from Ireland, and 1,880 from abroad. The condition of the stock was very middling, and the re lative scarcity of really prime beef gave an exceptional degree of support to the value, but for all other qualities former rates fell 2d to 4d per stone lower. Of sheep and lambs the number on sale was 37,730, of which 5,160 were from abroad. Of both the condition was fair. The mutton trade was very sluggish and prices ir regular, our quotations being supported with difficulty. Lamb was depressed in value. Only 279 calves were on sale here to-day, 248 foreign The demand was good and prices rather higher. Pork sold steadily, 310 pigs at market. Beef, 3s 2d to 5s ; mutton, 3s 2d to 4s Iod ; veil, 3s to 5s ; pork, 33 2d to 4s 6d ; lamb, 4s 8d to 5s Bd. COTTON MARKET. LIVERPOOL, July G.—Sales probably 12,000 bales Market held firmly. SURREY THEATRE. The above popular place of amusement opened for a short dramatic season on Saturday last, under the management of Professor Anderson. " Rob Roy" was produced in a style worthy of the place, Professor Anderson appearing in the character of Rob Roy. Mr. David Miranda both sang and acted the part of Francis Osbaldistone in a credit able manner, and Mr. Atkins appeared as Major Galbraith. The female portion of the drama was well represented by the Misses Anderson. The performance concluded with the farce of " The Thumping Legacy," in which a Mr. John Royston, a comedian new to a London audience, took the part of Jerry Omnium. His style and manner are quite original, and he kept the house in continual laughter by his eccentric acting, being well sup ported by Messrs. Dallas, Howard, Tracey, Paul, and last, though not least, Miss S. Fosbrooke. "Black-eyed Susan," " Pizzaro," and the farce of " Coupled by the Cuffs," are to be produced in the course of the week. THE VISIT OF TIIE PRINCES TO THE CRYSTAL PALACE.-Thirty thousand right loyal and rejoicing hearts on Saturday welcomed the safe return of the beloved son of our beloved Queen, after long perils of the sea, and the unforeseen danger of sudden and dreadful death at the hand of a dastardly assassin. The reception could not have been other than most gra tifying to the Duke of Edinburgh and the Prince his brother, for more spontaneous loyalty, warmer affection, and a more splendid welcome were never given. CONSERVATIVE LAND SOCIETY.—The sixty-third quarterly general meeting of the shareholders will take place at the offices, No. 33, Norfolk-street, Strand, on Tuesday next, the 7th inst., at 2 p.m. precisely, Viscoun Ranelasil in the chair. SPORTING NOIES. The opening of the Alexandra Park Race Course on Tuesday last was a great success in many points of view, but the company will have to tax all their energies to make it a permanent institution. In the first place, the plan of the ground over which the different events took place was universally condemned, and the most strenuous efforts should be made by the officials to increase the size of the course. At the same time it is equally necessary to remove all the trees which prevented the spectators from getting a view of the contests for more than a few hundred yurds. There were many other shortcomings which are always apparent in new undertakings, and which will doubtless be rectified on a future occasion. The refresh ments at the Grand Stand are au important consideration, and it is to be hoped the company may be disposed for the future to undertake their supply, or at any rate reserve to themselves the power of reducing the tariff to a reason able scale. There were unfortunately a great many com plaints from visitors last week on the score of price and quality too. Having carried out their plans hitherto with most persistent energy, it is only fair to suppose that the directors will bo fully alive to the improvements required, and lose no time in carrying them into effect. The.Newmarket July Meeting is principally interesting for the light it throws on the Derby candidates from the running in the July and other Stakes for two years olds. According to:public form there can be ne dispute about The Orphan (the newly named filly, by Newminster out of Diomodia), Bolladrum, Ryshworth, Da Vere, and Direc tor being decidedly the best. Still I am not at all im pressed with the superior quality of any one of the lot, and before the season is over it will surprise me if we do not find some fresh candidate who will be able to give each of them 51b. and a beating. On the present occasion I question if anything will be able to defeat BELLADRUM if he runs, next to whom I fancy BYSIIWORTII, although DIRECTOR might do so, as ho is reported to be very much improved lately. The Gladiateur Stakes BADS womm should have no difficulty in winning. I should think Count La Grange will depend upon OURIEUSE, who must be my selection for the Achievement Stakes. Wednesday's events include the Beaufort Stakes, which is run over the Suffolk Course, about one mile four fur longs, and if ARTESIAN can stay the distance he is remark ably well in, next to whom I fancy BLACK DIAMOND. The Midsummer Stakes will certainly go to the THE EARL with a start. BASILIA seems Most trustworthy for the Sweepstakes of 500 Sovs. each, and DE VERB for the Exeter Stakes, although FLOWER GIRL is evidently in good form from her running at the Alexandra Park last week. Concerning Thursday's events I see nothing to beat BISMARCK for the Summer Stakes. My impression is de cidedly in favour of ORPHAN and TENEDOS for the Pocket Sweepstakes. The Chesterfield Stakes will probably in troduce us to some fresh candidates for next year's Derby; but if BRIGANTINE comes well to the post, her previous form is quite good enough to win. I hear good accounts of Glonlyon, who is brother to Monarch of the Glen, and one of Mr. Naylor's six nominations for the Epsom prize. The weights for the Newcastle Stakes on Friday do not appear until Wednesday evening, and the only stake to allude to on that day is the Audley-square Sweep stakes, in which one of Prince D. Soltykoff's pair, ROYAL RAKE Or COUP DE GRACE, is_likely to prove the best in vestment. Carlislo races come off on Tuesday and Wednesday next, where the principal competition will doubtless be amongst the north country horses, as, besides Newmarket, trainers in the south have engagements this week at Sutton Park and Hungerford. For the first day my selec tion is LIBERAL in the Grand Stand Handicap, and with out troubling your readers with details, relative to the Cumberland 'late, I may at once state my firm conviction that FLORA will prove the winner. The Corby Castle Stakes and the Carlisle Stakes have HYMEN and THE HIND engaged in both of them. One of the pair should win. On Wednesday, if The Czar runs for The Athletic Stakes ho will win, and SISTER TO LITTLE AGNES IS by no means badly in The Lottery Stakes. Hungerford Meeting will wind up an unusually heavy week's sport on Friday and Saturday. The acceptances, however, for the principal event, the Berks and Wilts Stakes, do not appear until to-morrow, but if 'Thorn dyke is ono of them I should fancy him. The Craven Stakes LIGURIAN may be able to win. The Hungerford Stakes is a foregone conclusion for CARLOTTA. In the Ladies' Plate MISS ALICE is not overburthened with weigh t. The only two races for Saturday complete for analysis aro the John o'Gaunt Stakes, in which I would sooner trust VIGILANT than anything ; and the Nursery Plate, for which SISTER to VEDA or BONNIE KATIE may first attract the judge's notice.

St. Albans Kingsbury 8 I Friponnier was struck out of the Grand Prize at Alex andra Park at 1 p.m. on Wednesday last. • The filly by Gunboat out of Flyaway (sister to Flying Jib) has been named Flying Shot. Sir W. Booth's filly by Parmesan out of Lady Blanche has been named Parmesina. The objection made to Electricity, who came in first for the Windsor Stakes, has been withdrawn. Ettrick, after winning the County Members' Plate at Chelmsford, was claimed by Mr. J. Wood for 105 guineas. Fleetwing, after winning tho Juvenile Stakes at Alex andra Park, was disposed of to Lord Poulett for 500 guineas. THE GRAND STAND TICKETS AT ASCOT.-At the Reading Quarter Sessions, on Tuesday, Charles Piggott was charged with having stolen seven tickets of admission to the Grand Stand at Ascot, value £3 10s., and James Rent ley, 42, was indicted for receiving the same; knowing them to have been stolen. The prisoner Piggott is the son of a highly respectable auctioneer and houso agent in a suburb of London, and during Ascot races ho was employed as ticket-taker at ono of the entrances to the Grand Stand, Mr. Skinner, the manager of the Grand Stand, cautioned him that a watch would be kept on the part of the trustees to check any dishonest prac tices, and on the face of this the prisoner gave Hentley seven tickets of admission. The jury found both prisoners guilty, and the court sentenced them to four months' im prisonment. Immediately after the sentence had been pronounced, Pigott's father—a man of gentlemanly ap pearance—fell senseless to the floor, and caused much sympathy to be felt for him in court. HEALTH OF LIVERPOOL.—During the past six months there were registered in Liverpool 6,952 deaths, showing a decrease of 1,640 deaths, as compared with the averages of the last ten years. Of the total deaths 48 per cent. were of children under five years of age. MONTROSE, JULY 2.—Two new vessels on the stocks were totally destroyed by fire in Mr. Petrie's building yard here last night ; one was a vessel of 450 tons nearly planked, and the other of about 160 tons nearly framed. MUSICAL ITEMS. —Another American prima donna (Miss Minnie Hauck) is in England. His Majesty the ex- Bing of Hanover is preparing his musical works for pub lication. Mr. Mapleson, with nearly the whole of his Italian Opera company, will shortly proceed to New York to give a series of performances at the Academy of Music there.—Musical Standard. THE CROPS IN THE EAST.—There were light rains on Friday and Saturday in some parts of the Eastern dis trict, but more moisture is still urgently required. On the good deep soils of Norfolk and in the fens the wheats look well, but on the light lands the yield will bo moderate. The reports made with respect to the barle y crop in Nor folk are generally of a gloomy character. The Leader concludes an article on the Bishop of Oxford's speech, by asking the following questions: — "What sort of faith in religion is this, which refuses to back it to win without heavy odds in its favour ? Is our good Lord of Oxford thinking of changing his name? Or would he hereafter tempt men to call him Bishop Bowil derodforcer. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE—This Day VICTORIA CLUB BETTING.—This DAY.
