TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR-It seems to have been assumed by some distinguished members of Parliament in recent de bates, that, in the event of dis-establishment of the Irish branch of the Church, the Anglican laymen in Ireland would alone possess (after the vested inte rests of the clergy are satisfied) a vested right to the ecclesiastical revenues of Ireland. The Refor mation statutes prevent, no doubt, the application of the Church revenues to other than Anglican uses, but yet do not seem to ignore altogether, but rather to hold in abeyance, the rights of Roman Catholics to a share in the revenues. Tithes are that portion of the produce of the industry of the cultivators of the soil set apart for sacred uses, and destined to be returned to the inhabitant 4 of the parishes in the shape of religious services. The parishioners in common, not the landlords or tenants separately, are the parties intended to enjoy the benefit of titles and possess vested rights in the church revenues of their parish. The parishioners have vested rights in the tithes of their parish in the same way as they have vested interests in the taxes they pay for roads, police, and dispensaries. Were these latter taxes to be collected and spent out of the parishes which pay them,the grievance would be apparent. Now there are 199 parishes in Ireland which do net contain a single member of the Established Church, and in which, with few exceptions, there has been no An glican Divine service since the Reformation. Those parishes extend over 557,000 acres, and are inha bited by more than 98,000 Roman Catholics, who produce (besides rent to the landlord and taxes to the Crown) more than £13,000 yearly of ecclesi astical revenue. The whole of this church revenue would be restored to the parish ioners were they to become Anglicans, but at present it is spent elsewhere. There is not a single Anglican layman in those parishes to claim those revenues. The ruins of Roman Catholic churches exist in many of them, and in very many are modern Roman Catholic churches. To whom, it may be fairly asked, will the ecclesiastical re venues of these 199 parishes belong after the vested interests of the present Anglican incumbents are satisfied ? Again :—There are 107 benefices of the Established Church, inhabited by 1,452 Anglicans and 123,758 Roman Catholics. The Church re venues in those benefices exceed £20,000 a year, and are produced mainly by the industry of Roman Catholics. In each of those benefices there are, on an average, 13 Anglicans and 1,156 Roman Catholics. Have the 13 Anglicans vested rights to the entire of the parochial revenues, and have the 1,156 Roman Catholics no vested interests what ever in the fruit of their own toil, destined originally for their spiritual benefit ?--I am, &e., W. MAZIERE BRADY, D.D. July, 1868. THE BANDA AND KIRWEE PRIZE MONEY. A writer in a contemporary says—Much has been written of late in the daily journals on the subject of increasing the inducements offered by her Majesty's Government to a better class of young men to enlist for military service. The debate in the House of Commons last week drew forth many advocates for the scheme of placing valuable clerkships in Government offices within reach of discharged soldiers of good character. But those who desire to see an improvement in the condition of soldiers and officers lose sight of a grievance that has been bitterly complained of. I allude to the unjust delays that occur in the payment of prize money. The British public generally imagine that the prize money won at the hazard of life and limb by the gallant officers and soldiers at Banda and Kir wee, though long delayed, has at length been paid to all claimants who shared in the capture, or, if dead, to their representatives. But such is, in reality, not the case. I have in my parish a lady, the widowed mother of a gallant young officer who was present with the Sappers and Miners at the capture of the Banda and Kirwee prize. He has now been dead some years. His father, also an old naval officer, who had served his Queen and country faithfully and well, has passed away ; and now his widow, whose husband bled for his country, whose three sons died holding commis sions in India, cannot obtain payment of the prize-money due to one of them for a) many years, because the rolls of the Madras Sappers and Miners have not yet been re ceived in this country. Consequently all who served with the Sappers and Miners at Banda and Kirwee, the living and the legal representatives of the dead, are alike defrauded of their just claims. Is this no grievance ? Shame on the system that admits of such senseless delay! The rolls must be in existence, and could long since have been ob tained. - Why is not justice done ? Why is this prize -money withheld? Is there no member of the House of Commons that will rise in his place and ask the question ?

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ASSAULT ON AN EDUCATIONAL AGENT.—Herbert O'Donohoe, a tutor, was charged before Mr. Knox with being drunk and assaulting Mr. Fred. Bisson, educational agent, of No. 70, Berners-street, Ox ford-street. Mr. Bisson said—At half-past four yesterday afternoon, the prisoner, who is a tutor, entered my office, and asked me if there was any position for him. I told him that I had nothing to offer him, and he then began swearing. I told him that I did not allow swearing in my office, and that he must desist, but instead of doing so he made use of vio lent language towards me. I then told my clerk to remove his name from the list, and as he refused to have I sent for a constable. Before his arrival the prisoner advanced towards me and struck me, but, as I receded, fortunately I did not get the force of the blow. One of my clerks ejected the prisoner, and in doing so the prisoner, who was intoxicated, fell and hurt his eye. A con stable came and took the prisoner, and while ou their way to the station he got away from the con stable and tried to strike me again. I wish to state that I have no vindictive feeling towards the prisoner, and do not wish him punished, but only for him to keep from my office. The Prisoner—l admit I was under the influence of drink, but you never gave me any addresses. Mr. Bisson—Because I am a particular man, and you are not a respectable man. If you go into an office and misconduct yourself you will never get a situation. An assistant to Mr. Bisson corroborated him. Sergeant Peel, E division, said the prisoner, who was drunk, tried while I was taking him to the station to strike Mr. Bisson. The Prisoner—l was irritated and not sober at the tune. Mr. Knox—However bad the prisoner's conduct may be, if I convict him it will ruin him for the rest of his days. I think if I take the prisoner's own recognisance, it will be enough for the present. If the prisoner annoys you in any way again, Mr. Bison, I will grant you a warrant against him. His conduct has been disgraceful, but I will give him one more chance. Take his own recognisance to be of good behaviour. _ _ CRUELTY TO A HORSE.--Mrs. Rebecca Barnard, a sand dealer, of Moat-street, Battersea-fields, appeared to answer a summons taken out by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, charging her with cruelty to a horse, by working it in a totally unfit state, and Thos. Beales, a man in her employ, appeared on remand charged with cruelty in working the horse. The horse when first seen by Inspector Temper ley had a large sore on its back, extending nearly the whole length of it, and it had no use of one of its hind legs. Inspector Temperley said the defendant Barnard admitted sending out the horse, and that she knew it was in a bad condition for a month past. On his removing the saddle he found it saturated with the discharge from the wound. The defendant Barnard said she was compelled to send the horse out, being a widow and having a The magistrate said that he had frequently no ticed that in cases where women were owners of horses they did not know much about them, and nine out of ten did not care mucb for them. lie should fine Barnard 10s. and costs, and Beales would be discharged by paying the costs. WESTMINSTER. EXTRAORDINARY CASE UNDER THE MARITAL CAUSES ACT.-Mr. W. D. Smyth, solicitor, ad dressing the magistrate, said—" I have an applica tion to make to you of a novel nature, under the Matrimonial Causes Act, for a protection order to be granted to Mrs. Mary Ann Elgar. An applica tion has been previously made to you and the mat ter adjourned. Hitherto it has been held that an order to entitle the wife to protection the husband must have bodily gone away from her. That was not the case in the present instance, and it is my duty to submit that it is not necessary it should be so to entitle the wife to the order, for as in the present case, where the husband renders cohabita tion unsafe by personal violence and threa.s, and sells up his home, avowing his determination not to live with her any more, he in effect drives her from his home, and virtually deserts her as much as though he left her bodily, all his conduct hav ing a tendency in that direction. I will prove he has repeatedly assaulted her, jammed her arm in a door, saying he meant to break it, and, holding a poker over her head, threatened to knock her brains out. He sold up the home, and she left the house from fear. I will also prove he told Mrs. Dixon that he had broken up his home to get rid of his wife, and did not intend to live with her any more. Evidence of the above was given, and Mr. Arnold, looking at the case quoted by Mr. Smythe, granted the order as prayed. THAMES. SUCKING THE MONKEY.—William Wilson, a dock labourer, who was in a deplorable condition, was charged with an offence which is called in the port of London sucking the monkey. Spencer, a constable in the service of the London and St. Katherine Dock Company, found the pri soner last night on the wine quay dead drunk, and he had drunk so greedily that a quart of port win e came off his stomach when he was raised from the ground. Two well constructed tubes adapted for sucking wines and spirits from casks were found upon him. Both were stained with wine. The pri soner was very ill, and almost dead, and the dock company's servants had much trouble in recovering The prisoner, in defence, said he really did not know how he got drunk. Mr. Benson—Why, by stealing wine and drink ing it. You were so gree dy that, not content with a moderate draught, you drunk so much as to be come helplessly intoxicated. It is a most disgraceful robbery. What business had you in the London Dock? The prisoner made no answer. Spencer—He had no business in the dock at all. He is not employed there. Mr. Benson said that he had no doubt the tubes were in the possession of the prisoner for the pur pose of stealing wine, and it was an offence contrary to law for any man to have them about him. lie sentenced the prisoner to one month's imprisonment and hard labour, SHIPPING INTELLIGEN C This Dap• _ (By Telegraph.)

A Government committee has begun sitting at Kurrachee to decide by which bank of the Indus the new line shall run. There is much no doubt to say for both sides, but the weight of advantage seems to rest with the right bank as far as Sukkur. It may cost a trifle more in the making, but it is certain to command a wider and more constant traffic through the adjacence of towns like Shi karpore and Sukkur, and of a military station like Jaco babad. A bridge at Sukkur would also be much more feasible than one at Kotree.—Allen's Indian Mail, July 9. THE TEA DUTY Is REDUCED —Horninzan's Pure Tea is cold Bd. per pound Cheaper.

CRIMINAL COURT.—This Day. NEW COURT. (Before the Recorder.) FORGERY BY A RAILWAY SECRETARY. Edward Bannister Callow, who was formerly secretary to the Elliam Valley Railway, and who yesterday pleaded guilty to a charge of forging six cheques, for the sums of £lOO, 150, £75, £lOO, £175, and £37 103. respectively, was placed in the dock foa sentence. On being asked what he had to say in mitiga tion, he said he had to throw himself on the mercy of the Court, and although he was charged with forging six cheques, he had, in fact, only done so in one instance, and that was not for his own per sonal advantage, but it was for the purpose of further ing the making a harbour at Seabrook, which would undoubtedly be of the greatest a lvantage to the railway. Ile had no intention of defrauding the company, -and Le 11.1 intended recouping the money obtained from the salary that was due to him for Lis services. The Recorder, on passing sentence, told the prisoner he had been placed in a position of great trust and confidence, and it wa3 impossible to pass other than a severe sentence. rhe forgery amounted to over £6OO, and with respect to the allegation of money due for services rendered, that was denied by the prosecutors. The sentence of the court was that he be kept in penal servitude for 5 years. ROBBERY OF THE COMMERCIAL CLOTHING C3MPANY. Samuel Verland3r was indicted with stealing, and George Withers and George Peters with receiving, a quantity of cluthing, the property of the corn pa/Iy. The prisoner Verlander, who was in the employ ment of the company, was admitted as approver, and his evidence went to show that Peters intro duced him to Withers as a person who would buy clothes, and the robbery was the consequence. The jury returned a verdict of guilty, and a for mer conviction having been proved against Peters, the court sentenced him to penal servitude for ten years, 'Withers to four years', and Verlander to three months' imprisonment with hard labour. THE CASE OF MADAME RACHEL. Mr. Sleigh—l have to inform your lordship that Madame Rachel is present to surrender according to the order of the court. She now attends with two fresh securities as bail, notice of which has been given to the solicitors for the prosecution. Mr. Thomas Austin Stack, of No. 14, New Church-street, Edgware-road, then stepped into the witness-box, and in, answer to questions from Mr. Sleigh said-1 carry on the business of a wholesale boot and shoe manufacturer, under the style of Powells and Co. I hold the premises on lease. I pay £45 per annum rent. I am certainly worth £l,OOO after all my debts are paid. I have never compounded or been insolvent. By Mr. Montague Williams (for the prosecution) —I have known Madame Rachel for about fifteen years. I know the gentleman named as the other surety, Mr. Lacy; he is the lessee and manager of the Marylebone Theatre. I have not advanced him £soo,nor am I under promise to do so. I have known him since November or September last. Mr. Henry Richard Lacy—l am manager and lessee of the Marylebone Theatre. lam willing to become 4 surety for the appearance of Madame Rachel next session in the win of £l,OOO. lam undoubted!) , worth that amount after all my debts are paid. By Mr. M. Williams—ln addition to a residence at the theatre, I have another at BA vedere, Kent. I have no acquaintance with Madame Rachel. My friend Mr. Stack applied to me, as an old friend, to ask me to be bound with him, and I consented. I have not been indemnified in any way. The Recorder—No undertaking of that sort has been given you ? Mr. Lacy—No ; my lord. Mr. M. Williams—Have you not had money transactions with Mr. Stack ? Mr. Licy—Yes ; we have mutually obliged each other. I have never lent him a thousand pounds, but I have let him) have £lOO or £2OO for a day or so, but those transactions have now ceased. My monetary matters closed with him last week. I have never borrowed £5OO of him to carry on my theatre. Stack had offered me £2,000 to take him in as a partner, and I have refused, because I have had a better offer. I have no accommodation paper out now that I am aware of. Mr. M. Williams—l object, my lord, to the gentleman as bail. ➢lr. Sleigh—l say Mr. Lacy is a gentleman of the most substantial means. Mr. Lacy—l paid a premium of £l,lOO for the Marylebone Theatre. I have a lease of it for six years. I have been offered £4,500 for it, but I be lieve it worth over £6,000. Mr. M. Williams—Thought the question for the court was, whether the person who had merely been asked to become bail for Madame Rachel should be accepted, because he had been asked to do so. The circumstance of Mr. Lacy having a residence at Belvedere was quite uuknlwn to them The Recorder—You should have asked for longer ti rue. Mr. Sleigh—Madame Rachel has always sur rendered to her bail hitherto, and there is no fear of her absconding. Had she desired to do so she has had ample opportunity. Mr. M. Willia , ns —The case is entirely in the hands of the court. The Recorder —One does not like to accept two persons as bail who have been engaged in accom modation transactions. sir. Sleigh—The matter is simply for them to satisfy the court that they are in a position to be come bail. The Recorder—Each accommolatea the other when wanted; that showed that each wanted it. We are entitled to something better than that. Alderman Rose—The Recorder informs me that I share his responsibility. Under such circum stances I object to the bail. Madame Rachel was then taken into custody until fresh bail was in attendance. The Recorder then retired, and on his return into court, Mr. Sleigh said there had been some unfortunate mistake with respect to Mr. L Icy, and he wished to make an explanation. The Recorder said he could not re-open the case. Mr. Sleigh—Mr. Lacy is a gentleman of large property. He has nothing at all to do with accom modation bills. Mr. Stack—l feel it only just to say that Lacy has acted in the matter with -- The Recorder—l cannot hear anything more. Mr. Stack—Mr. Lacy has never had recourse to accommodation bills. The Recorder—l must request you to remain quiet. The proceedings, which had been very excited then terminated. MARKETS-71MS DAY. METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. The mrrket was dull for all kinds of stock, and rates weak. Of beasts there were 910 head, including 115 oreign. Sales were difficult to effect, and rates lower.

LIVERPOOL, July 9.—Sales probably 10,000 bales. Market quiet and unchanged. FIGHT BETWEEN A Fox AND Two EAGLES.—A shepherd in the vicinity of Ballater witnessed a somewhat remark able contest the other day between a fox and two eagles. Roynard had got a piece of meat with which he was mak ing off, when an eagle swooped down and attempted to seize it. The fox boldly showed fight, however, and stuck by his prize. Another eagle then came to the aid of the first, but both were set at defiance by their four-footed an tagonist, who was ultimately allowed to go off in triumph, the eagles soaring aluft when the shepherd approachel rather near the placi - vrh9re tha Egiat was pro;;oe-ling.

The Earl of MALMESBURY moved that au address of c, , ugratu!ation be forwarded to her Majesty on the birth of a princess. Ho was sure that the great and good qualities of the Princess of Wales endeared her to all the nation, and therefo: - o they would be happy to forward this address of rougr,itutition. The Earl RUSSELL see Duded this aldress, and it was agreed to. SIR ROBERT NAPIER. The Earl of MALMESBURY then said that there was a message from her Majesty. The LORD CHANCELLOR read the message which had been received from het Majesty, and which acknow ledged the great services randered by Sir Robert Napier, and recommended the co-operation of the house to confer upon him and his immediate heirs a sum of £2,000 per The Earl of MALMES BURY then said that it would be discussed to-morrow night. THE BANKRUPTCY ACT AMENDMENT BILL. Lord GRAN WORT H moved the second reading of this bill. After a few remarks from the LORD CHANCELLOR and Lord OVERSTONE the bill was read a second time. UNIFORMITY OF PUBLIC WORSIIIP BILL. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY, in moving the second reading of this bill, said that that there could be no neces sity to wait for a third report from the Ritual Conunission as to the operation of this bill. He contended that the bill dealt with incense and lights, besides vestments. He as serted that lights and incense were used at the Holy Com munion, except in the chapels of some of the highest ecclesiastic() had been utterly repudiated, and this had been the case for upwards of 300 years. He (the noble earl) maintained that the main provision of the bill were in the 4th and sth sections. They enacted that no minister should use, or allow to be used lighted candles, except they were needed thence forward by this bill they would be effectually abo lished. They said that such use would be positively llegal, and such a construction ho thought would be put upon them by their lordships. (LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS—THIS EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. VIE NEW REFORM BILL. Mr. CANDLISH asked the First Lord of the Treasury whether, in consequence of the decision in the Court of Common Pleas of Saturday last, in the case of Stamper v. the Churchwardens and Overseers of the parish of Sun derland, having the effect of excluding many thou sands in that and other boroughs from the franchise, whom Parliament, by the Representation of the People Act of last year, intended to enfranchise, he would bring in a bill this session to amend the 7th section of that act, so as to give the franchise to those occupiers of parts of houses whom that decision excludes from its possession. Mr. DISRAELI said the decision did not appear to him to go to the extent the hon. gentleman anticipated. All persons occupying lodgings, according to the 7th section, might claim to b. 3 registered, and, if entitled, they would of course be placed on the registry. He was not prepared to bring in any bill on the matter. Mr GOLDNEY said the decision would not affect the registry to the extent supposed by the hon. member for Sunderland. Mr. DENMAN said he had been asked to give his opinion on the judgment. Mr. Justice Montague Smith was particularly clear on the subject. The occupiers of small houses, and not the owner, would for tho future be rated to the poor, but the difficulty would affect only those not rated separately before the passing of the Act. It ought to be generally known that the decision would not at all affect or exclude from the franchise the owners of flats or floors where the owner did not reside on the premises. PAYMENT OF RATES. Mr H. B. SHERIDAN asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it v as the intention of Government to take any steps this session to give effect to the recom mendation contained in the report of the select committee on the subject of rates, particularly with reference to the payment of rates by four quarterly collections ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was not desirable to introduce any such measure. The over seers had now certain power with respect to taking rates by instilments, which was quite in accordance with the recommendation of the report of the select committee. ARTILLERY PRACTIJE AT DOVER AND PORTSMOUTH. In reply to Mr. Sergeant GASELEE, Sir J. PAKINGTON said doubtless there was great want of care with respect to the artillery practice at both places, and he had written to both Dover and Portsmouth for explanation of the circumstances of their shots striking the vessels in the roads. He was not yet i❑ possession of an answer from Dover, and as far as the conduct of pertain officers was concerned, ho thought the house would agree with him that it was best to be well-informed of the whole circumstances before any steps were taken. THE WINDSOR REVIEW. Lord ELCHO asked if any steps bad been taken with respect to the charges of insubordination which had been made against certain regiments taking part in the late review. Sir J. PAKINGTON said he had been in communication with General Lindsey, and they had decided that a court of inquiry should be held. He had received a report from ono commanding officer, and he had called for explana tions from an o th er, and two Lor d Li eu t enan t s h a d b een written to. Until he received the whole of these commu nications ho could not state what would be the course pur sued. ADDRESS TO TIIE QUEEN. Mr. DISRAELI rose to move an address of congratuta tion to her Majesty on the occasion of the birth of a princess. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales lived so much among the people that everything that took place within their family circle was the subject of the greatest interest to the public at large. He was sure he but anticipated the feeling of the house in saying that anything that gave additional happi ness to the Royal Family was a subject of joy to the whole of her Majesty's loyal and devoted subjects. Mr. GLADSTONE had great pleasure in seconding the motion. He could not but express his gratification that a fresh joy had been vouchsafed to one whose purity and lofty station, as well as her gracious manner, endeared her to the love of the people. The motion was then put from the chair, and carried nem. con. MESSAGE PROM THE QUEEN—PENSION TO slrt . NAPIER. Mr. DISRAEL I broughtß up a message from the Queen under her sign manual. Ou the mes sage b eing read by the SPEAKER, it was t o the effect th a t h er Majesty, wishin g esti mation of the b ravery displayed by to mark her Sir R. Napier, late the commander-in -chi e f of the forces in Abyssinia, asked the house to make provision for her granting to General Sir R. Napier and his next male issue a pension of £2,000 per annum. Mr. DISRAELI said to-m)rrow he should move that, her Majesty's most gracious message be taken iuto con sideration. TIIE CORRUPT PRACTICES ACT. r. DISRAELI having referred to the decision came to the oti er evening in committee with respect to this bill, said it still appeared possible, he thought, to legislate on this subject during the present session, and that too in conformity with the resolution of the committee. (Flear, hear.) Af ter the fullest cons id erat i on h er Majesty's Gover nment proposed to i nsert prov i s i ons i n the bill calling upon the judges of each of the three courts of common law at Mi c h aelmas term to f orm a rota w h en ono of the judges would be selected to try election petitions— (hear, hear) —and each of the judges performing such duty should receive the sum of five hundred pounds, such sum not to be taken into consideration when the the question of pensions should be considered. They pro posed that the three Chiefs of each of the courts should be exempted from such service, and also that three additional 'ustle judges should be appointed who should assist in the Divorce or either of the other courts. As the whole matter was an experiment, the bill would also state that no vacancy that might arise in the judgeships should be filled up without Parliament boiug consulted. Ho hoped to be allowed to proceed with the consideration of the bill, if agreeable to the house, at a morning sitting to-morrow. (Hear, hear.) REPRESENTATION OF THE PEOPLE (SCOT LAND) BILL. The house then proceeded to take into consid era ti on th e Lords' amendment to this bill. Mr. APLAREN called attention to the fact that vari ous parties who had the right to vote at e l ec ti ons were by the bill prevented from being placed on the rate book until next year. As that was an injustice, h e m o v e d an amendment, by which the right to vote at the next election should be irrespective of rating. The LORD-ADVOCATE opposed the amendment, and the house divided, when there appeared-- For the amendment Against it Majority —2o The other amendments having been considered the bill was returned to the Bouse of Peers.
