From a portion of what fell from Mr. Rozercx last night, and for which his resolutions were in tended to obtain the sanction of the House o f Commons, we dissent toto We are, how ever, compelled to admit that his assattions were " Partly proved," and that the appointed guar . ' lia na of the national purse had good grounds of • complaint at finding their constitutional functions completely ignored in all respects save that of providing for the liquidation of " the little bill." We have frequently expressed our opinions respecting the Persian contest, and, believing it to be a just and necessary war, and ths►t any hesitation or procrastination might have been productive of very injurious results to the honour and interests of Great Britain and the security cf the Anglo-Indian Empire, we cordially con curred in the Ministerial policy which deemed it a_fit and proper QUO for the exercise of the nu doubted prerogative of her MAJESTY in declaring war, and adopting all the means necessary to give speedy effect to that resolution. The Schah of PERSIA had set at nought obligations imposed on him by very recent treaties. Not only had he thought proper to insult our representative at his Court, but he had actually assailed Herat, and t ikeu measures to obtain possession of what has justly been termed " the gate of India." Al though not nominally, the ScEtlii was virtually a " vassal" of the AUTOCRAT ; and, Herat in his hands, would be to all intents and purposes in the same position as if it had been transferred to Russia. It is useless to cavil about words— " The rose by any other name will smell as sweet." The result arrived at was one that could not be tolerated by this country, and by acting promptly and energetically, the Government removed the difficulty, and obtained redress at a tithe of the expenditure that might otherwise have been in for this tardy concession. The extravagant rate was maintained until the last moment, when they were underbid by the discount establishments, and they found the business gradually slipping through their fingers and finding its way to other quarters. Indeed, they might very properly have made a further reduction to 5 per cent. for eligible bill, such as they would require, were cashed in the general market at 5i per cent. LATEST N E AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY MORNING. The United State 3 mail steam-ship Ericsson, with advices from New York to the 4th, was off Holy he.td. at 8.30 this morning• It is, of course, the business of the Directors to make money as dear as possible. Their interests are directly opposed to those of the industrial community. If they were merely the managers of a private establishment, they would naturally have a distinct right to "do as they liked with their own." But the unwise and inequitable legislation that has taken place has invested them with a quasi national character. They are made the controllers of the currency—the regulators of the circulating medium, and they are enabled, by making money scarce and dear, largely to aug ment their own profite. Intelligence has been received from Constanti nople to the 9th. The Presse d'Orient affirms that the island of Perim belongs to Turkey. An en g tgement had taken place in the plain of the Kou ban, between Sefer Pacha and the Russians. The loss on both sides is declared to be considerable. . FRANCE. PARIS, JULY 17, 8.30 A. M. The poet Beringer is dead. The expenses o: his funeral will le charged to the Imperial Civi List. dispensable. Besides, the question has been already disposed cf, by a competent tribunal. The whole of the Eastern policy, that relating to Persia as well as to China, has been made the subject of an Appeal to the Country, and the nation has unequivocally pronounced a deeisive verdict in favour of Lord PALMERSTON and his Government. The time then for questioning the policy has gone by. Its opponents were guilty of culpable bathes in not bringing the question before the House in the same manner as that relating to China. And having neglected the proper opportunity, they are now debarred from obtaining the redress to which they might otherwise have been entitled. It was, as Mr. DISRAELI declared, when the announcement was made in the. Speech from the Throne, at the commencement of last Session, that the dissentients ought t ) have , come forward and boldly protested against the course adopted. But while so far sustaining the Ministerial policy, we think that, as in every other case of war, whether English or Indian, the expenses whereof might by any possibility fall on the British Exchequer, not an hour should be lost in laying the proceedings that had taken place, be fore Parliament, and asking for its approval. A mere tacit or implied sanction is not sufficient. There should be a direct c3mmunication, full in formation given, and a general approval asked for and obtained. This is what the British Constitution required, but this was not done. And, although the time for censure or re probation may have lapsed, we trust that not only the present, but all future Governments, will respect the constitutional principle and the universal feeling, both of Parliament and of the community, and, whenever a similar emergency shall arise, take the most prompt and effectual measures for bringing the case before the Legis lature, and obtaining its assent to what has already been done, and as to the general policy to be observed with respect to the progress of hostilities and the terms on which an honourable and beneficial peace may be concluded. PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING. Of the Italians who were at first arrested on the serious charge of conspiring against the Em peror's life, and who are still in prison, one or two have avowed their guilt ; the others deny it. In the curse 4,f the investigations con ducted by the authorities no complicity has been brought home to any of the French refugees of note in England. •The conspiracy is Italian, and essen ially Mazznian ; and the object assassination. A Commission of Inquiry is sent by the Govern ment to Italy to collect further information as to the extent of the plot. This will retard the trial, which will take place before the Court of Assize, instead of the High Court of Justice. The Moniteur publishes a decree ordering that on and after the let January 1858, the ten per cent. levied by the treasury on the net produce of the municipal octroi received at the various sea ports on the coast of Algeria is suppressed ; and that from the same period the ten per cent. taken from the gross amount of the said octroi for the expenses of collection and payment by the agents of the treasury is reduced to three per cent. A Paris letter, in the Nord of Brussels, says: —" I understand that M. Thouvenel has been authorised not to follow up the protest presented to the Porte against the acts of the caimacan of Moldavia. The motive of this abandonment is the measure adopted by the Porte of pos+poning from the 12th to the 27th inst. the elections of I Moldavia for the nomination of the members of the Divan, in order that the electoral l i st s ma y be rectified cenfermably to the demands made by the commissioners of the congress of Paris. The advice of M. Thouvenel has lei to this policy of moderation. It has been approved of by the representatives of Russia, Prussia. and Sardinia. Lord Stratford de Redcliffe and M. de Prekesch are said to have strongly opposed the concession made by the Porte " BOURSE, July 16.—The following were the las quota' ions : Cash. They should not be placed in such an invidious position, or be exposed t 3 the temptation of hav ing their duties and their interests pulling in op posite directions. A really National Bank is required, which should issue really national paper money, receivable in payment of taxes, and which would always be in full demand to meet the claims of those whose visits in this country are by no means like those of angels, either few or far between. The Government being respon sible, should receive the profits arising from this issue, in place of handing them over to a trading corporation, and paying heavily for the accommo dation it requires. We are firmly convinced that a total severance of the connection between Bank and State, would be eminently beneficial to both parties. The former would realise legitimate profits, and be enabled to distribute as large divi dends as they can under existing circumstances, while the nation would bonefit by the abolition of banking monopoly, and the establishment of a flee trade in currency, the groat want of the pre sent day. . " Taxition money "—based on the amount to be levied on the country, regulated by Parliament, and issued in small and convenient denominations, RO as to answer for the transactions of every day life should be the great foundation of our currency. The 14,475,0001. issued on securities by the Bank, and the authorised issues of the private and joint-stock banks, may be regarded as so much "taxation-money ;" but it would be far better if it proceeded directly from a department of the Government, in which case, being secured, not only by all the accumulated wealth, but also by the thews and sinews of the people, it could not be depreciated, nor would there be any necessity for an ounce of gold being held against it. Private banks might also issue paper, convertible into national money—on giving satis factory security by a deposit of Consols, or other valuable securities for its redemption. The demand would in such case always regulate the supply. There would neither be star vation nor extraordinary abundance. The capitalist would get fair, but not exorbitant; interest, and the mercantile, manufacturing, and trading interests would be certain of a reasonable amount of what has been justly termed " the life-blood of industry." The use of gold would be greatly economised. It would be rendered altogether available for the foreign trade, and it would be alike the duty and the Ikterest of the Government and of private money dealers to maintain a stock adequate fox any emergency, and sufficient to keep the ex• changes favourable to this country. The price o gold would be by no moans so variable an element under such a system, as the rate of discount is under that now in operation. End of M-onth. fr.

Admiral Lord Lyons left Turin on the 13th for Genoa, having on the preceding day had the honour of dining at the royal table. The Piedmonteae cabinet experienced a slight check in the Senate on the 11th, when the bill for a new convention with the TraLsatlantic Company of Genoa, strongly advocated by the Minister of Finance, was rejected by a majority of 32 to 21. The Piedmontesa Gazette of the 13th publishes the law enacting that all prisons destined for per sons under trial shall hencefot th be constructed ac cording to the celular system, and those already existing be reduced to it. Persons condemned to a term of imprisonment not exceeding one year may also be confined in such prisons. We cannot approve of the course decided on yesterday, at the meeting of members favourable t' the principle of the Parliamentary Oaths Bill. It was virtually truckling to the House of Lards —confessing that the House of Commons were not the sole judges of their own priv,leges, and making a fifth appeal to those who have already contumeliously rejected four applications, and who will probably treat the new one with as scant 1 ceremony I It weakens the position which they were anthorised to assume, cuts the ground from SPAIN. The Madrid papers o. the 12th announce that the number of arrests male in that c:ipital up to the 11th was not Lss than 1,049, and a letter says that in the inoruing of the 12th 26 o , hers were effected. Am:l'd - lug to some of the journals, the civil gover nor, M. Marfori, h a d declared that he could not answer for the maintenance of public tranquillity without arresting 5,000 persons in the capital and 3,000 in different parts of Spain ; but these figures were thought to be greatly exagge rated. Accounts from Andalusia state that the troo ps were continuing to pursue the remains of the republican band, and that Caro, the chief of it, co mplained bitterly that some influential persons who had promised to sur port his movement had failed to do so. Accounts from Barcelona to the Bth say that all was tranquil there, though the repuldican conspiracy had ex tended to that city and the province of Catalonia he had, however, sent out columns to scour the districts of Gramollers, Villafranca, Igulada, and Vich. A letter from a ministerial source says that the cabinet means to take up the project for the sale of public property, and to propose to the Cor es in October next to authorise the sale of the real property of the State, as well as the t C h h e urcli letter)o i n o f the c h a e r x i t t a i b u l e e ti e o s n t aobflis theh- A. lmeid en and o ther mines ; but not to touch the oc eeds of the sales it will propose mpreouptest.ty T o h f e th ps e r to employ (s:* flowing debt. under their own feet, and, to a certain txtent, confesses the strict justice of the course adopted. Indeed, as we have already repeatedly st tted, the great mistake was in ever proceeding by bill, in place of by resolution. had Baron ROTHSCHILD, when he tendered himself at the bar of the House, and offered to take the oaths in the form which he considered to be "most binding on his con scieace," been admitted, much valuable time would have been saved to the country, and a subject that has occasioned great irritation been completely set at rest. It is Lord JOHN RUSSELL who has again flung down the apple of discord, by the new attempt at compromise. This will be brought forward this evening, in the shape of a Bill to amend the Act Ist and 2d Vie., cap. 108, entitled " An Act to remove various doubts as to the validity of certain Oaths"—the chjact being that each House shall have power to regulate the oaths to be taken by its own Members on taking their seats. We can scarcely doubt as to the reception which this bill will meet with from those who have already so summarily rejected the various measures carried by large majorities of the House of Commons in four successive Parliament. To the bill so recently rejected, they were favour able in every respect, but one. They did not de sire that the blasphemous absurdity of swearing against the claims of persons not in existence should be continued, but that, or anything was better than that a Jew should participate in the national Gaincils. When that appeal was disallowed, they will not be willing to take the still broader ground of permitting the other branch of the Legislature to alter or vary the test according to their own will and pleasure. When they so strenuously objected to any change in the mere form, they will scarcely place the substance itself at the mercy of their Accounts from Bosnia, in the Cologne Gazette, sa y : _ct Matters here ate still unsatisfactory, and the complaint of the Christian population increase. Turkish troops continue t) arrive in order to he prepared e ii. , c h ted v events.

It is incorrect to soy that the two sovereigns conversed on the subject o f the Plincipalities, for the views entertained by their respective governmen t s a re too much opposed to lead to any hope of an arrange , sent." opponents. We believe, then, that the new bill will be a certain failure, and that the attempt will be highly derogatory to the honour and independence of the House of Commons I and will go far to justify the other House in its unjustifiable assumptions. It was not thus with respect to Lord WENS LEYDALE when he attempted to take his seat on a patent limiting the Peerage for his own life. There the Lords acted boldly and independently. They declared that they were the sole judges of their own privileges, and would not tolerate even the slightest interference. The manly proceeding was fully successful, and the vexed question was permanently set at rest. But those sticklers Tor their own right?, will not admit a similar prin ciple when asserted by the co-ordinate branch of the Legislature. They wish t) be judges in their own case, and also in that of the House of Com mons, and they have maintained the unwarrant able demand itainst every remonstrance. The present bill seems to be the uliimatissimum. It will go up with the significant hint, pass it, or else - ! For the Liberal party by which the Government is sustained and supported have de cided that the matter must be disposed of one way or the other before the prorogation. Sooner or later, the resolution proposed by Mr. DILLWYN must be carried. It is the only practicable so lution of the difficulty, and we deeply regret that it should have been decided to make another us:- less attempt to subdue the perverse obstinacy that has so long been maintained under circumstances th a t ought to have led to a very different line lof policy on the part of their Lordships. . The Bourse Gazette of Vienna of the llih says —" Count Bine Brahe, the Danish ambassador at this court, has, during the last few days, had several couLrences with Count de Buol. We un derstand that Count Bille Brahe was charged to point out in the clearest manner that the oast Dan ish note had as much as possible taken count the demands of the German powers, and that it was necessary to wait for the discussions in the die s of the duchies before taking any further steps. It appears c:rtiin that Austria and Prussia will wait, as already stated, for the result of these dis cussions." --=------------ LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST BAIL WAY.

The Royal Mail Company's steam ship Or noen, Captain Sawyer, with the West India and. Pacific mails, in charge of Lieut. Tickell, R.N., has just arrived. Her dates are—Greytown, June 19 ; Nass iu, 13 ; Colon, 23 ; Demerara and Trinidad, 25 ; Jamaica and Grenada, 26 ; Barbadoes, 27 ; Porto Rico, 29. She brings 168 passengers, specie value ,5922,551, and a full cargo. Seventy cases of yellow fever had occurred on board, of which 28 were fatal. Not one passenger had taken the disease, and all of the crew who died were new hands, excepting the chief engineer. Owing to the number of deaths that had. taken place Mr. Wiblin, the medical superintendent of quarantine, has declined to give the ,ship pratique [till to-morrow morning. From Jamaica advices are to the 26th ult. The island was healthy and business somewhat slack. The sugar crop was over, and the greater part of the produce shipped, a considerable quantity of which had been consigned. to the United. State?. Abundant rains bad fallen, and the canes pro mised well for next year. Mining operat'ous were being steadily conducted and progressing favourably. The ore at the Claren don and the Wheal was greatly improved in quality, and becomes richer in proportion to the depth ob tained. The lode at the first-named mine was up wards of 12 feet wide. Governor D trling was expected out in the packet of the 7th inst. No news in the political world. From Barbadoes there is very little news. The Waterworks Company's Bill had been somewhat modified as far as the guarantee clause was con cerned. The weather had continue,' favourable for reaping, and very little sugar remained to be ma le. The young crops presented a healthy and uxuriant appearance. The health of the island was good. From St. Thomas's, on the Ist inst., we learn that the yellow fever was on the increase, and was making greet ravages among the shipping in the harbour. The amount of fatal cases was beyond the usual average. The barque Kingfisher, bound to Jamaicas lost the capt tin, mate, and nearly all hands by th's dreadful malady. Advices from Demerara state that the contract for steam communication between Demerara, Esse quibo, and Berhice had been taken by Captain Spotton and Mr. G. Watson, an enterprising mer chant iu Water-street. Her Majesty's steam transport Perseverance arrived on the 22d with 180 men of the 2d West India Regiment, and had left again with the re maining companies of the regiment. Business was dull. The weather had been showery and favour able for the growing canes, which were thriving well. The colony was healthy at the departure of the packet. There had b:en no late cases of cholera The uourt of Policy was sitting engaged in giving legal form to the intentions of the Combined Court, which had concluded its session. The report of the great success of the gold dig gers at Upata, situated on the he id watere of the Cayun, a river of this colony, had excited little sensation. The labourers of Guiana have a fear of the Yankees, and would be chary in going beyond the shadow of the British flag. Mr. Drysdale, the newly-appointed Governor of Tobago, had assumed office, and was gaining the f a vourable opinion of all classes. The crops were nearly reaped, and 3,000 hogsheads of sugar al ready shipped. Several vessels were loading and waitingto lied. The rainy season had set in mildly, aid the island was healthy. The canes were look ing well for next year. Grenada continued healthy, and business was dull in consequence of the completion and shipment of the sugar crop, which exceeds that of last year by about 3,000 lairds., making the year's shipments 6,500 lilids. The e ncouraging state of the sugar market bad led to considerable patches of land being brought into cultivation, the weather was also favourable and the young canes were in a mist healthy condition, and sanguine hopes were enter tained that the next year's crop will produce about 9,000 Inds. There is no political news at Martinique. Plenty of rain had fallen, and the crops were looking well for next year. Sugars had been selling from 52f. to 55f. not withstanding, the falling off of prices in the Euro pean markets. The yellow fever was making fear ful havoc among the shipping. The town of St. Pierre was also) aff cted, but not to any extent. In other French islands the crops had increased and still promised better. In all the West India islands the planters had reaped good crops, and were using every exertion to inci ease the quantity of produce next year to meet the demand for the staple. From the Pacific there is very little news ; the Government was raisiiig a loan of 4,000,000 dollars to cnnplete the Valparaiso and Santiago Railroad. The copper mines continued to yield abundantly. New and very rich mines had been discovered near Pabelloa, which promised to yield abundanly. Business at Valparaiso was unusually dull. From the River Plate we learn that the yellow fever was decreasing, but Montevideo was almost deserted. The disease was breaking out in Buenos Ayres. At Arica everything was quiet. Vivanco still held out at Arequipa, but the town was surrounded by the troops of Generals San Rarnea and Treyre, about 3,000 in numb r. Vivanco's troops were very en thu-lactic, but the others were exi;ected to defeat them in 10 or 12 days from the date of advices, the th of June, when all would he over.

On Sabbath evening last hundreds of people were c lected at the house, peering i n to the windows, exernin• ins the doors, and identifying the places referred to in the trial of Miss Smith. Groups of people have during the week been constantly observed engaged in a similar manner. On Thursday the morbid feeling of a number of there foolish gaping visitors carried them en far as to chip off bits of the ,tone wall, and scrape off quantities of the lime as relics. Some were actually dropping plummets of lead, fastened by a string, between the bars of the ground fleor window, apparently with the ludicrous idea of ascertaining bow love letters would loOk when lying on the same spot. The house has been closed since the apprehension of Miss Smith,—Olasgow Chroniclo. LIE MAJESTY'S VISIT TO ALDERSHOT.

GRAND REVIEW" AT ALDERSHOT. This morning, at 10 o'clock, ber Majesty, attended by a bridiant staff, reviewed the troops at present in camp at Aldershot. The lit battalion of the Coldstream Guards, the 223, ;Atli, and 66,..h Regiments of Infantry, the Ist, 4tb, Gtb, 7th, and 15th Regiments of Cavalry, a troop of Horse Artillery, and one field battery composed the force re- a pproached, the whole line presented a r viewed. o lS' l l o a u jst r e sw y ere hwered, and the bands played the As uq. her c National Anthem, while the field battery overlooking the heights of the South Camp fired the Royal salute. The ma nceuvres performed on this occasion consisted of a continuation of the movements which took place on the last occasion of her Majesty's visit to the camp. It wile be recollected that the evolutions then gone through represented the sudden attack of a superior force before th e a lvance of which the camp troops had to retire. This morning the supposed enemy were attacked on the right position on Tystock Bridge from two points. A strong brigade under Lord W. Paulett advanced from Elmore Farm, and crossing the Basingstoke canal in pontoons, effected a juncture with the main body of the army under Ganeral Knollye. The enemy's advanced position was then carried, and the enemy retreated, hotly purified by the Cavalry and Horse Artillery. The whole of the mar ceuvres were performed evidently to the addiiration of her Majesty, and the usual final salute having been given the review terminated. Her Majesty, the Prince Consort and the royal staff returned to the Pavillion. The weather was magnificent, and the attendance of company was exceedingly numerous. The Conte de Paris, the Duke D'Aumde and several other distinguished foreigners were present at the review. MARRIAGES IN HIGH LIFE.

The plaintiff in this action is a builder in New-road, and the defendants aro the above wel l -known company, and the action was brought to recover for damage dune to a horse belonging to the plaintiff through the negli gence of defendants' servant. Mr. Buchanan appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sleigh was counsel for the company. Mr. Buchanan stated the case, from which it appeared that on the 22d April last, a lad in the service of the plaintiff was driving a horse and cart down Castle street, City-road, and was turtling into Tabernacle-row, when one of the defendants' omnibuses was driving along, and before the lad could draw up one of the wheels passed over the near fore foot of the plaintiff's horse. After the accident plaintiff had several interviews with gentlemen at the company's otfic -8 when he claimed 121., and he was at first offered 71 in cash, and five 11. shares, but afterwards they proposed t ref.r the matter to arbitra tion, which plaintiff refused to agree to, as they had frequently promised to pay the amount. Tee evidence as to the way in which the accident oe• curred was very conflicting, and it was contended for the defence that it arose in c insequence of plaintiff's boy being too littbi to have a proper control over the horse he was driving. The plaintiff was examined and spoke to the several conversations when the of srs were made, and his clerk proved that he called on several occasions and applied for the amount, and had been ptomised that plaintiff should he paid. Mr. Pope, the secretary of the company, was called, and stated that the proposition emanated from the plain• tiff and not from himself. Mr. Sleigh asked him if he had ever admitted that the company's servants were in the wrong. His Honour said that that had not been proved. Mr. Bin'Joann then addressed the Court in support of the plaintiff's evidence, and contended that the aecidet t arose wholly from the negligence of the defendants' ser vants. His Honour was very sorry to have decide the case on some points. He oonsidered that the plaintiff's boy had given his evidence in a very proper m tuner, but it appeared that the boy was not able properly to check the horse. There did not appear any neglect on the part of the defendants' driver. The English law, however, was stringent, that when a pary had in any way contri buted to the accident he could not recover damages. In this case he thought it in a great measure arose through the incapacity of the boy, and he must therefore find for the defendants. WEIGHT V. GAME. The plaintiff in this action is an omnibus conductor, and the defendant is a butcher and purveyor to her Majesty, Cannon-street, and the action was brought to recover damages for it,juries sustained through the negli• genre of defendant's servants. Mr. Bachanan, for the plaintiff, stated the case. It appeared tbat on the 15th June plaintiff was with hia 'bus in the Circus, Piccadilly, and he had got off to take his fare from a gentleman who was on the p ,vement ; he was returning, and just off the kerb, when deten danet, man, in a cart, drove sharply by and knocked him down, and his coat, sc„ were torn, and he received bod , ly injuries. The case was clearly made out, and his Honour gave udgment for 3/. POLICE INTETs.IGENCE.— (This Day.) THAMES% FRAUDS ON OUTFITTERS.—John Elliott, a tall young man, of 21 Pembroke-street, Plymouth, ship carpenter, was brought up on remand, charged with fraudulently obtaining clothes and money from several outfitters by means of lalse and fraudulent pretences. It appeared that on S iturday, the 4th instant, the prisoner called at the warehouse of Shores and Brill, outfitters, Stepney, and said he belonged to one of her Majesty's ships at Woolwich, that he had been recently di-charged, and that he was to be paid off that days He then selected a new suit of clothes, pilot jacket, nec kerchief, cap, and complete new " rig," which he put ors in the shop, and requested that a messenger might be dispatched with him to Woolwich to receive the amount of the bill 71. 55., with change for a 101. nets. A. young man, named Page, one of the por ters of the establishment was directed to ac* company the prisoner to Woolwich. On reaching that place the prisoner managed to " wheedle" the porter of the money in his possession under pretenc e of giving change to his captain, and went into the dock' yard, the arsenal and other places, under pretence of seeking Captain Hamilton his commander, and n odded to and seemed to know all the officials in the tovre, Alter the prisoner had almost tired out the patience of the porter he gave him the slip. Some time after erode the prisoner was found riding in a carriage across Wool' what] Common. Page stopped the carriage and g () inside and asked the prisoner what he meant by g iving , him the slip. The prisoner said it was all right, poi nted to a large house near the Common and said that was Captain Hamilton's residence. The prisoner and the poster alighted, and the former entered the garden en ci spoke to the footman who ordered him off the grounds, and said his master was General Barrett not Captaie Hamilton. The prisoner re-joined the porter, and di' rectly afterwards leaped over a fence into a field, a nd gcA into the Victoria-road, where the porter lost sight of hire: The prisoner had represented himself as the carpenter 0' a ship, and upon this representation, Mr. Lowe, foresees to Messrs. Shores and Brill, allowed him to put on t b° things. The second charge was preferred by Mr. James Glad. well, foreman to Mr. George Skinner, of Knightsbridei clothier, who stated that, on the morning of the 261 b June, the day on which her Majesty distributed t he Victoria Crosses, the prisoner made a purchase of an e l suit of clothes and accesscries, the cost of which amount% to 71 10s. The prisoner said he lied been in the 13el l ' campaign, at Hango, in the Crimea, and other p leceg g : and had 3001. He also said that he had blown 0 1 3 • powder magazine belonging to the Russians ; and tow great number of incredible stories. The prisone r toe d ' finished his story by stating that her Majesty inteeded to decorp.te him with a Victoria Cross, that he wee te o t go to Woolwich to receive his pay, and that he sv° l3 , discharge the amount of his bill at Woolwich. He V:. seeded then with the prisoner, who managed to enter f'• dockyard as the workmen were coming out, and e l him the slip. Janes Willis, a police constable, No. 207 R, said prisoner had attempted a similar imposition on an ° I/ J, fitter named Cartwright, in the Tottenham-court -o %s When he took the prisoner into custody, and told 131 , 0 the charge, he said " You are decidedly wrong ; Y 131' „p been in Portsmouth, and know nothing about the "1, fitters." The prisoner had been knocking about W°° with some time, and was a regular swindler. The prisoner made no defence, and Mr. I[a- - committed him for trial on two charges. SOUTHWARK. IMPOITANT DECISION. —A. case of some impo rt 9° to tradesmen having bagatelle tables in their IPtis was decided this morning. Mr. Van Damon, a tobacconist, residing at 55, - jo t ington-causeway, appeared to answer a summons sio hid been issued against him for permitting gaming i ° house. From the evidence of a police constable, it apPl i ro that in a room adjoining the shop kept by Mr. 0 0 Damon was a bagatelle table, at which several 1 0r 0 0 were playing, and during the progress of the B e several bets of five ehillingq were made. tl3 O Mr. Soloman, fo r Mr. Van Dam o n, con sidered no offence bad been committed, inasmuch as he bed ° tained a license for a bagatelle table. eye Mr. Combs said be was of opinion that the stat ute° w hi c h the bagatelle license was granted did not °i t 'd it an offence to bet on the game, and, acting upo n view, he should order the summons to be dismissed' CHARGE OF LIBEL.—LIVERPOOL, July 15.—The ,r nal charge of libel rcainst Mr. Ousley, editor an",iteir prietur of the Liverpool Herald, for an alleged it Sts went of the chastity of thr ee R o man Catholic pri e9 "eeP the Isle of Man, has bee n adjourned until Tuesday°. tb° The article in question sets out by an attack uP?„ 11 ° oci A l Romish institution of the celibacy of the priest g 0 points to the temptation such a law engenders, 006 states that in the priest's house, Isle of Man, threadropo.o have three young and pretty servant girls to atten re them.
