At length, Lord JOHN RUSSELL seems to have discovered the utter inutility of proceeding with the Oaths Validity Act Amendment Bill. If any doubt could have existed on the subject, it must have been removed by the proceedings in the House of Lords on Monday last, when the 7th of August was appointed as the last day for second readings of any bill, sent up from the Commons, a step directly taken against the above-mentioned measure, as we have already explained. The bill has not, however, been formally withdrawn, but it has been postponed, and it is now more than probable that the attempt will be made in the first instance,:to enable Baron ROTHSCIIILD, whoh as once mo re been unanimously returned as one o f the Representatives of the City of Lond on , to take his seat by a resolution of the House on taking the oaths in the form most binding on his eon- science. It would manifestly have been absurd for the Noble Lord to have entared on such a discussion at twenty minutes past five, when that discussion should necessarily have terminated at a quarter before six. Some of its opponents would have spoken against time, and thus easily have made it "a dropped order." Uc had not, therefore, m uch discretion as to the postponement. But while fixing the second reading for Monday next —a Government day, by the way—he itex pressed a hope that means would b 3 found to enable Banal BolasclaLD to take his seat without its being necessary t) have any bill for that purpose I" This distinctly and unequivocally points to a resolution similar to that of Mr. Dunwvies, and we have no doubt that the newly elected Member for the City of London, who has been willing t) encounter any personal risk, will be prepared " To screw his courage to the sticking place," and to brave all the penalties and annoyances that the vindictive malice of disappointed opponents may endeavour to heap upon him. Indeed, sup ported by the resolution of the House of Com mons, we cannot perceive that the danger will be so very great as to disturb the natural serenity of his mind, or to fright the isle from its propriety. Despite " the prave 'ordEr of Lord CAMPBELL, we doubt if any informer will dare to run counter to the representative branch of the Legis lature, which has both the ability and the will to vindicate its own constitutional rights and privi leges. It is stated by a morning contemporary that an act has just been discovered which will enable the House to dispense with the formal words " on th© true faith of a Christian." The words of the section are as follows : " And be it enacted, that it .shall be lawful for the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, and for all other bodies corporate and politic, and for all bodies now by law or statute, or by any valid usage, authorised to administer or receive any oath, solemn affirmation, or affidavit, to make statutes, bye-laws, or orders, authorising and directing the substitution of a declaration in lieu of any oath, solemn affirmation, or affidavit now required to be taken or made ; provided always, that such statutes, bye-laws, or orders be otherwise duly made and passed according to the charter, laws, or regulations of the particular University, other body corporate and politic, or other body so authorised as afore said." It is also stated that t 4 Attorney-General has expressed surprise that "this statute should have been so long overlooked, and that he will forth with be prepared to call attention to it, in his place in Parliament." We have never, from the very first, doubted that Baron ROTHSCHILD was entitled to take his seat, and we energetically condemned the grave mistake that had been com mitted, in proceeding by bill rather than by reso lution. The same power existed that authorised the reception of an affirmation in lieu of an oath, in the case of Messrs. PEASE and BRIGHT, and it ought to have long since been acted on. All the procrastination, heart-burnings, and annoyances that have occurred during the last ten years might have been avoided, and the Lords would have been spared the humiliation which they have so richly earned for themselves. We shall, however, be contented if, albeit at the. eleventh hour, the grievous error be amended and a just course entered on. The House of Com mons have been in the position of the man who saw and perceived the correct path, but followed the wrong one. It may be convenient to say that . the Act alluded to has only just been discovered. But the subject had been too strictly investigated —both in Parliament, in the law courts, and by the community at large—as to prevent so gross an oversight. There were, in fact, ample grounds for the resolution, but it was desirable t ) make a little political capital, and therefore impedi ments not greater than mole-hills were elevated into mountains. Jt was never thought that the Lords would have displayed such perverse obsti nacy. Lord JOHN might exclaim—" Had I known he was so cunning of fence I would have seen him hanged before I meddled with him." He has, however, found a troublesome customer, and may therefore prudently revert to the line which he ought to have originally taken. Due notice will be given of the time when Baron ItOTHSCHLLD will appear V) Cl xini his seat, with powerful credentials, endorsed by the mctEopolis of Great Britain. We can scArccly doubt the result, or imagine that it will not be such as the 1 honour, the independencs, and the character of the Commons of the IJaited Kingdom impora- tivtly require. It is at length more than probable that the .just demands of the civil servants of the Crown, in reference to the Superannuation Bil►, will be concealed. They have had the justice and equity of their demand distinctly recognised by tlnee different tribunals, viz.,' by a Select Committee of the House of Common:;, by the Royal Commis sioners, and ultimately by the representative branch of the Legislature, which, by a majority of 60, last night affirmed the principle of the bill, notwithstanding the opposition so improperly offered by the Government. But they had, be sidcs, the intrinsic equity of their claims, which must convince any unprejudiced and disinterested person of the impolicy and impropriety of offerin g any further resistance thereto. We have always considered that " the labourer is worthy of his hire," and that when once a salary was fairly and honourably earned, the re cipient should do as he likes with his own. It is absurd to give a nominal salary, and afterwards to reduce it by deductions, of which but a small propoition of the recipients can ultimately benefit, and then by no means to the extent that they could readily obtain front a well-conducted and perfeely solvent private establishment. Even if the full and fair equiscalent were offered in the shape of a retiring pension, the large majority would greatly prefer obtaining it in a shape that would be available for their widows and childr©n in the event of their own deaths. They would naturally feel that so long a 3 they were spared they could provide for themselves, and the dear ones dependent on them, not only for the comforts but the actual necessaries of life. An insurance which would provide a specified sum on the deatii of the parties, and which could be disposed of at any time during his life, when a sum in hand might be required, would be better in every re spect for the parties themselves, and still more for their families. W© need not dwell on the duty of an employer r to provide for a faithful and efficient servant, who has bestowed the best years of his life, and worn himself out in his service. No man of ordinary feelings would permit such a person to come to destitution, or even to endure serious privation in his old age. The sacred claim is fully recognised and promptly and adequately re. sponded to by all who have sufficient means at their disposal. Where such is not the case, it is the ability and not the wid that is wanting, and it would be disgraceful to the wealthiest nation in the world if they shoull permit their Govern ment to refuse to act in a similar manner. But, at all events, if it was considered desirable to establish a , provident fund, it should be optional with the parties for whose benefit it is avowedly established to join it or ot nequiva lent a s s should they thought proper, and an ample voluntarily be rreendeturrned.ed for any contributions thus But is this the case with the Civil Service Superannuation Fund? M c s t t o d e e c x i dt:adelty from not. t h I e t was but an ingenious device to pockets of the worst remunerated cl tss of public servants the means of defraying pensions to their more fortunate brethren. Eminent actuaries have made calculAtions show ing that the parties subjected to these deductions 6hould, in common justice, receive far more than has been offered to them. It has been proved beyond the possibility of douloi - , that the sums received have amounted in the aggregate from August, 1829, to January, 1856, to no less than 843,4331., to say nothing of the compound in terest, which should far more than have doubled the actual receipts within the time, while the actual contributors, and no others should be inkeia into account, have received but 92,2331., leaving a balance of 750,0001., unfairly extracted from their pockets, and that they are actually paying at this moment some '75,000/. per annum. while nearly 12,0001. a year is returned in the shape of pensions. This is so palpably unfair — so manifest a swindle, that it is alike disgraceful to the nation, and to every successive Government by which it has been sanctioned and main tained. It should at all events - be forthwith altered, and a just account taken of the receipts from, and payments to, the contributors. The balance would form the nucleus of a handsome fund to be applied for their benefit ; and we really think that all who have bean, dismissed or resigned the service, and the representatives of those who have died "in harness," should be entitled .to fair equivalents for what they actually paid. The British Government should not shelter itself under pleas which would be considered disgraceful to any per son in private life, and which would be fatal to any reputation for common honour or honesty. Lord NAAS'S bill will obviate future injustice, but the next session should net be suffered to elapse without providing for the equitable claims of those who, for 28 years, have been plundered under an iniquitous and unwarrantable law.

LYCEUM THEATRE, Madame Ristcri took her benefit last night, and displayed the versatility of her genius by playing with equal effect in tragedy and comedy. After sustaining the character of Lady Maebbtla with matchless skid, she took t'•re part of Rosa, in a lively lit le play, entitled "La ColLrica," and delighted the audience by the brilliancy and vivacity of her performance. Her comic acting is full of delicacy, grace, and fancy ; mirth breathes in ail her movements ; her spirit seems to break forth as a bird from a brake, and her happy voice rings through the house like a silver joy -hell, n.wakiiniog all hearers to merriment. 7t is impossible to imagine acting more ex hilarating, or better calculated to induce people to "lay life-harming heaviness and entertain a cheerful disposition." The house was well attended, and Madame Ristori was received with the greatest enthusiasm. HAYM'ARKET THEATRE.

THE VICTORIA CROSS.—GIBRALTAR, July 20.-- General Fergusson has presented the Victoria crass to Major Elton, who distinguished kiniself in various ac tions in the Crimea, and to a private soldier, Thomas Beach, who at Inkerman saved his Lieut.-Colonel (Carpenter), who was wounded and surrounded by the enemy. "information has just been received," *rays the Con. stitationnel, " that the By of Tunis has given a large indemnity t.i the family of the Jew who was lately put to death in that regency. On the energetic representa tions of the Europeans powers, measures have been adopted to prevent a recurrence of such crimes."

During the last fortnight the smoke thrown up from the crater bas become much thicker than usual, and the evening before last a lone. train of liquid fire was seen descending on the side of Ott,juno, at a place called Fosse del Faraone, an i'nmenhe ravine opposite the sea and out of reach of any clanger to the inhabitants of Portici, Resina, and Torre del Greco. At Naples an immense crowd assem bled to witness the spectacle, and at night a number of foreigners proceeded to the mountain, the torches of the guides being visible there in every direction. The lava leas &ready run a distance of about half a mile." LATEST NEWS. THE MUTINY IN THE INDIAN ARTYIY. NAMES OF PERSONS SAFE. MARSEILLES, THURSDAY, 11,30. The Indian papers are full of details of the rebellion, which was universal in Bengal. The Weny Corps has been disarmed. The 70th Native Infantry were thanked by the Governor for their loyalty. The 6th Native Infantry at Allababad rivallea them in expressions of attachment, but rose upon their officers and foully murdered them. There is not the slightest symptoms of disaffec tion in Madras or Bombay. The Bengal army has ceased to exist. The stations where women and children have fallen victims to the barbarity of the mutineers, and where dreadful cruelties have been endured, are Ourat, Delhi, Russenabad, Honsi, Hissar, Shansi Bareilly, Saghenwoor. On the 15th June another sortie from Delhi was repulsed with great loss. On the 16th all was quiet. Three thousand rebels were encamped outside the Aymeer Gate. From Mirzapore the accounts up to June 20 are satisfactory. Among the refugees from Re pewa are Dr. and Mrs. Parker, Rev. Ruther and wife ; from Beynon• Sulhi, Wordsworth, Howard, Calles, Blandford, and .Philpott. At Forozepore, on the 13tb, militiry execu tions had taken place. At Shansi ladies and children took refuge in the fort, which was soon overpowered—all sacri ficed by these villains. General Outram bad arrived at Bombay. All was quiet in the Punjaub. Escaped from. Hansi and Hissar :—Captains Morse, Strafford, and Child ; Drs. Scott, Tapsell, Vaughan, and two children ; Mr. and Mrs. Sea reden and three children ; Mr. and Mrs. J. War ren and three children ; Messrs. Jews, Hickey, Tapsill, and Mallop ; Dr. Waghorn, Mr. Daniels and child ; Mr. Hollot, Mr. Taylor, and many others. Delhi is not likely to fall till more . troops ar rive. It is defended by 30,000 mutineers. MARSEILLES, THURSDAY, 6 A.M. The Vectis, with the Overland Mail from India, arrived here this morning at five a.m. The mails were to leave for London at 10 a.m. She brings no news of thq fall of Delhi. Goolab Singh of Cashmere is dead, and is suc ceeded by his son. The Khan of Kheelat is dead, and is succeeded by his brother. Part of the plot had been to take Calcutta on the 23d of May. It was most complete in all its arrangements. When discovered, the troops bound for China were sent for as fast as they could arrive. The Malacca has arrived at Calcutta. Sir Patrick Grant has come to Calcutta from Madras, and acts as Commander-in-Chief, but Sir Henry Somerset in Bombay really holds the su preme command. TELEGRAPH FROM *R. RAVEN, ACTING. CONSUL AT TRIESTE, TO LORD CLA.REN DON. ALEXANDRIA, JULY 22, 1857. The India mail brings no authentic account cf the capture of Delhi. It was not taken on the 10th of the last month, when Gene ral Barnard, having repulsed two sorties, was waiting reinforcement; which must have since joined. A letter from Banny and Co., dated Madras, the 27th of June, states posi tively that official intelligence had reached Madras the previous day of the fall of Delhi, but this is not confirmed from B)mbly on the Ist July. The mutiny had spread consi derably in the Bengal army, though it is not even now general, as might have been expected. At Be flares, on attempting to disarm the 37th N. 1., the greater part of the Sikhs and the 13th irregular Cavalry, joined the mutineers on the 14th of June. The ex-King of Oude, implicated in the conspiracy, by intercepted papers, was lodged in the Fort William, and his followers disarmed. On the same day the native troops at Barrackpore and Calcutta were quickly armed. English troops are arriving fast. An act has been passed by Legislative Council for placing the Indian press under license to b 3 with drawn at pleasure. In Madras and Bo:nbay, pre sidencies all retrains quiet. The only disturb ances being a inu , iny of the first Nizam's Cavalry, at Turungabad, promptly put down by Bombay co lumn. Our naval forces in China, on BthJune, took a fort and destroyed about onehundred and twenty seven junks, mounting nine hundred guns. Three officers and 8 men killed ; 3 officers and 53 men wounded on our side. The capture of thirteen junks on the 27th day o f M v, and twenty-seven junks on the 28th of May ; also mentioned. The dates are, from Calcutta, June 21; Madras, 28th June ; Ceylon, Ist July ; Hong Kong, 10th June ; Bombay, Ist July, (Signed) RAVEN. The Paris correspondent of the Morning Post (second edition) says— " I should presume, from intelligence which has reached Paris concerning Indian affairs that, with few exceptions, it will be found necessary eventually to disband the whole of the native army. It is declared that a spirit of rebellion reigns throughout the forces of British India, ac• cording to investigations lately instituted. It is probable, therefore, that Sir Colin Campbell's first despatch will ask for more English troops. The sooner we begin to recruit the better , and make every preparation for the worst. The want of railways in India will oblige the necessity of something like 150,000 European troops for some time to come. The forces now in India are de clared to be only sufficient to gu ard the seats of Government and Government s tations, and pro tect the military depots of arms created by th e disbanding of the sepoys. These observations aro suggested by reports which come from a hostile source, but which, I fear, may be depended upon." THE LATE CONSPIRACY• The Gazette des Tribunaax has the following :-- "We have announced that, after an investigation made with great care, the examining magistrate seven persons, on the charge of participa t i o n in a had sent before the chambre des raises en accusation riot for the assassination of the Emperor. The chamber des mines en accusation yesterday decided that these seven persons—Tibaldi, Bartolotti, Grilli alias Faro, Mazzini, Ledru-Rollin, Massarenti, and Campanella—sball be brought to trial before the Court of _Assizes of the Seine. The four last-named accused are absent ; but the whole seven are to be tried on the charge of having, by a resolution con certed and settled between them, formed a plot to assassinate the Emperor, the said plot having been followed by an act committed or commenced for preparing its execution, whic'a is a crime fore seen and punished by Article 89 of the Penal Code. The trial of the three persons now in custody is to come on, it is thought, about the Bth or 10th of August. The accused who are absent cannot be tried until after the accomplish ment of the formalities prescribed by the law with respect to contumacious persons. We must await the trial to make known all the c . rcunistances of this grave affair, but we may nevertheless indicate some of the general facts which form the basis of the accusation. In the first days of June the police learned that several Italians had arrived in Paris from London, after having had frequent com munications with Mazzini and other members of the Central European Committee. On the 10th June three letters from Genoa written by Mazzini were seized ; one was addressed to Campanella; one of Mazzini's fellow-writers in the Italia del Popolo ; another to Massarenti ; and the third, which was only of a few lines, to Tibaldi. In the letter to Campanella, Mazzini, after instructions which ap pear to refer to the coup-de-main which has been attempted in Italy, said that the principal matter to be thought of was the affair of Pavia—that it was of urgent and decisive importance—and, in fact, that everything depended on it. He an nounced that Massarenti had told him that two men had presented themselves ; tbat if they were good men and true, and could be depended on, money to enable them to live a month at Paris must be given them, and that to obtain the money application should be made to a banker. He added that there were two others at that moment at Paris, but that it was necessary that each group should act separately, and without communication with the other. The letter concluded by a few words of recommendation to the Rue Neuve M4nil montant,' where, it said, the necessary arms- and ammunition would be found. The person alluded to in these words of recommendation was Tibaldi, who lived in the Rue de Mdnilmontant. He was arrested, and a search being made in his house, five poinards and twenty loaded pistols were seized. The letter from Mazzini to Massarenti con tained instructions similar to those in the letter to Campanella. As to the letter to Tibaldi, it tecom mended two men, who were to call on him, and told him that he might place confidence in them. These two men were Bartolotti and Grilli, who had recently arrived from London, where they bad frequent communications with Mazzini before his departure for Genoa. On the day on which Tibaldi was arrested, Bartolotti and Grilli called at his lodgings, and were arrested by police officers who had been placed there in waiting. It appears that the investigation already made has led to the seizure of numerous letters which confirmed the indica tions contained in the letters seized -on the 10th of June. In one of them a complaint is made of the negligence of an accomplice, and it is said that the old man' had com plained and was highly displeased. In the course of the investigation Bartolotti made avowals—he declared that at London he had had two inter views with Mazzini and with a Frenchman who he said. was Ledru Rollin, and that it was in con- sequence of these interviews that he had been sent to Paris with his countryman Grilli. His mission, he said, was not to attempt to kill the Emperor, but to be constantly on the watch about the Tuileries in order to know when the Emperor went out. Gr;lli at first denied the truth of these revelations, but he afterwards, it is stated, re marked that since Bartolotti had spoken he was relieved from his oath, and would tell all. He accordingly admitted that the object of his journey was to attempt the Emperor's life. To prove the truth of his statement he said that two poniards which Tibaldi had given him for himself and Bar tolotti would be found secreted in a certain spot which he indicated ; and they were accordingly found there. As to Tibaldi, he gives the most po sitive denials to the charges brought against him. He is a journeyman engineer, and has resided in Paris for some years." The Droit, after giving some particulars on the same subject, says " Bartolotti and Grilli, though at first admitting that they came to Paris with the mission of killing the Emperor, subsequently declared that, notwith standing their promise, they had no intention of committing the crime ; that, being without money or resources, they had accepted the propositions made, but their sole object was to come to Paris, and to spend in pleasure the money which they had received."—The same journal states that among the arms seized were 17 double-barrelled pistols, one of which was of a very peculiar form, the bar rels being placed one over the other, and not lying side by side, as is usually seen. It is this arm whicia is gentrally supposed to be the fellow of the pistil used by Pianori when he fired at the Emperor in the Champs-Elysees. FRANCE. _ PARIS, WEDNESDAY.

ELECTION COMMITTEES.—(This Day.) DROGHEDA. The committee met this morning for the first time. The petition was against the return of Mr. M'eann, the sitting member for that borough. Mr. Brodegan, the defeated candidate at the last election, petitioned for the seat and conducted the case in person. Two peti tions had been presented against the return. One from Mr. Brodegan, who claimed the seat, was first on the list, but on that gentleman being called on to proceed he stated he was unable to do so. The allegations in the petition being the same as in his he had not brought over his witnesses. (Laughter.) Mr. E. JAMES, for the sitting member, insisted that the first petition should be taken first. He was pre pared to meet that case. The CHAIRMAN decided that Mr. Brodegan must pro teed first with his petition. Mr. BRODEGAN, being unable to do so, withdrew his petition. Mr. JAMES asked the committee to come to a resole. tion and report it to the house, that Mr. Brodegan's petition was frivolous and vexatious. The CHAIRMAN said the committee would wait until the end of the enquiry. _ The petition of tile efectors (tleant , . Bagnall and others) was then opened by Mr. Slade. The allegations con tained in the petition, and which the learned counsel said would be proved otere gross corrupt practices, and intimidation and corruption on the part of the priests in the interest of Mr. M'Cann. The borough contained 18,000 inhabitants, 16,000 of whom were Roman Catholics and 2,000 Protestants ' and the electors num bered 648. At the last election the candidates wcre Cap tain Moore, Mr. Brodegan, and Mr. M'Cann, but the two latter only went to the poll, when Mr. M'Cann was returned by a majority of 3bo against 14. At the election the language of the Roman Catholic priests was described as of the most iriflam matery character, and the military had to be called out. The most serious appre hensions were in consequence at one time entertained for the safety of the town. Evidence was called in support of the learned couLscA's statement. HUNTINGDON (COUNTY).

(MEETING THIS DAY.) A Public Meeting of the Owners and Occupiers of property on the banks of the Thames was held this day, at the Sing's Arms Tavern, Palace-yard, for the pur pose of opposing the further progress of the bill, entitled the "Thames Conservancy Bill," which had been read a second time in the House of Lords. The meeting was convened by a circular issued by the Association for promoting the interests of the traders of the Port of London, which stated that a preliminary meeting was held last Saturday, at which the following resolution was carried una nimously, " That the 'Thames Conservancy Bill, is, in various clauses, injurious to the right of the owners and occupiers of property on the banks of the liver Thames, and that it is desirable that the bill should be opposed, in the view of its postponement until next session." The circular - also stated that clauses had been introduced into the hill deeply affecting the rights of all owners of property, and the interests of the trado of London. The chair was taken by W. J. Hall, Esq. The CHAIRMAN said be happened to be chairman o the society for protecting the traders of the port of Lone don, and it having been intimated to him that a bill which infringed on the rights of the owners of pr'operty, was in I regress, it had been determined to call the pre, sent meeting, in order to determine the steps that ought to be taken on the subjec. Mr. Pycroft, a gentleman well acquainted with too subject, had presented a peti tion against the bill ; and 33 he was present, and was so well informed upon the subject, he would without fur ther observation cell upon that gentleman to address them. Mr. PTOROPT then rose and entered at length into the results of a diligent search into the national records re lating to the right claimed on the part of the Crown to all land covered by salt and tidal water, by virtue of its prerogative within the flaw and reflow of tidal water. He contended .that the Lord ltlayor of London had no right to exercise the authority he claimed over the river Thames ; and if he bad had that right, be had forfeited it by the manner in which be had !neglected his duty, which was to prevent much dirt and filth being discharged into it. An examination of our Public Rec3rds would disclose that neither the Crown per se (save and except of its own Mailers of Greenwich, East Sheen, and other estates on its tanks) or the citizens of London (es of their manor of Suuthwark, and other estates on its banks) have by the Parliament of Englan , l from the sealing of Magna Marta on the Island of nu:me:new - le, to the commencement of the present reign ever had acknors - ledged, either the one or the other to have any right or title to the soil of its bede and foresheres, by virtue of the prerogative of the one, or the claim by prescription of the other; and that therecent lairn set up by the legal advisers of the Crown to the bed and soil of this river, by virtue of the Queen's prerogative, ieeritirely fictitious, such a prero • gative right having been expres?ly traversed at law dur ing the reign of Queen Eiizabeth, in the case of Digges and Hammond ; and which, if asserted by our common law judges, would be in direct defiance of several clauses in the Magna Carta of King Juhn, Henry 111., and Edward I. Nor could such prerogative right be acquired, by the Crown against the subject unless by some specific enactment of the legislature as against the rights of the ad jacent Lords of Manors and those deriving title u n d er them. The property in the fore-store was valued at 3,000,0001., and the Government prepse,ed to make it over to the city for the paltry sum of 5;0001. General Sir W. CODRINGTON said he felt it to be his duty t 3 oppose the third reading of the bill, because he did not think it right that a bill of this important de scription should bi considered a private bill. He did not pretend to understand the legal bearing of the hid, but he thought that a measure which interfered with so large an interest ought to be allowed to pass through Parlia ment as a private act. Mr. SYDNEY SMITH, the secretary, then read the objectionable clauses in the bill. He bad always under stood that a tidal river was the highway of the Crown, but the preamble of this bill went upon the suppositi in that it was the right cf the Crown absolutely and without reference to the pubic interests, which was an idea opposed to the plain intentions of the c institution. Be contended that the proposed Board of Conservancy was not properly constitutes, and that great interests had been shut out. The Loudon Duck Comi any, the St, Katherine Company,' the East and West India Dock Company, the Sea Wharfirigere, the Sufferance Wharfingers, and the whole of the shipping interest were shut out entirely from the management of the ricer from which they derived their whole profits. Conservancy was to be committed to persons who had no real interest in, and many who had shown themaslves utterly unworthy of, the trust. The CHAIRMAN said it was to be regretted that the Marquis of Westminster, the Duke of Northumberland, the great brewers and others, were not present, because if the bill was to be opposed, it was necessary that they should be called upon to contribute to the expense of such a proceeding. A gentlemen present asked what would be the ex pense of offering a strong opposition to the bill in Parliament. The CHAIRMAN said it would be very great--between 10,000/. and 11,000/. If it was decided to fight the he was quite ready to coutribute his quota. (Hear.) Sir W. CODRINGIToN said he felt very strongly on this belt, and he thought that the best course to persue was to present a petition to the House of Lords against the measure, which would be referred to the committee upon and tee effect t.tuuld be that tie whole subject will be reopened. Mr. S. SMITH was of opinion that such a proceeding would be irregular, as the bill was being passed as a private act. Sir W. CODRINGTON proposed that a committee be appointed to prepare and get signed a petition to the House of Lords against the third reading of the bill, and that it be an instruction to the committee to arrange for a deputation to the Government to urge the postpone. ment of the measure until next session. Mr. GoULD seconded the proposition. The CHAIRMAN put the resolution to the meeting, and declared it carried unanimously. A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the pro ceedings.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day.) MARLBOROUGII-STREET. A HERO OF THE GALLANT AGAMEMNON IN TROUBLE. —This day, Ed.ard Troune, a discharged marine was charged before Mr. Bingham, with having been found begging in Coventry street.. Ile bad two medals. Police Constable Morris C 173, said that last night he was in Coventry-street, when he saw the prisoner who had two medals at his breast begging of the- passengers. He had a hone in his hand which he held out observing, " if you wlll not buy of me w,ll yon give me anything, you see the laurels I have won." A gentleman, a mem ber of the Army and Navy Club, said to witness, " This ought to be seen into, policeman. This man ought not to disgrace the uniform he wears." Witness then took the prisoner into custody. Mr. Bingham (to pri;over)—What have you to Pay to the charge ? Prisoner—l have only been in London three nights, and I want to go to Dorchester ; I have not rcoaived my pension, and I have no means to go there. Mi. Bingham—Where did you get the laurels you allude to ? Prisoner—l was on board the Agamemnon, in the Black Sea, and I was in the Polyphemus, in the Baltic, when it was wrecked; I %vas picked up off Elsinore Mr, Bingham--When had you your discharge? Prisoner—On the 3i of Lilrch. - I have been since at work at the Marine barracks at Dover. If I can only get to Dorchester I have an uncle there who I can go to, but I have not the means. Mr. Bingham observed that he thought a man who had gained the laurels ha had would not go out in the streets to beg and that he ought to have gone to the right quarter. He however, until he did no, would give him some temporary assistance. Prisoner—l will pay it back aga!n when I have my pension. Mr. Bingham—l do not want that. Inspector Burnett, C division, remarked that the prisoner had his discharge in his possession. The prisoner then le!t the court. DRIINKENNESS.—EiIen Shade, an elderly female, was charged with being found intoxicated in Piccadilly. The prisoner was found almost senseless on the pave ment. She was seen by a young man, who at the same time saw several shillings and sixpences by her. He picked up a sum amounting to 16e. She was taken to the station•house. Inspector Burnett said that six Fovere:gus were found in her bosom at the Station-house. Had she not have been seen by the young man, a woman was about to put her in 6. cab, and take her away, when the would have lost all her money. The prisoner was fined ss. +E SOUTHWARK. MUDD AND ALLEGED FORGERY.— James John Nisbett, a foreman to a large leather dresser in Ber mondsey, was brought before Mr. Corrie, charged with fraudulently withdrawing the sum of 101. Bs. from the Southwark Savings' Bank, belonging to the Leather Dressers' Society, also it was alleged that he had forged the names of one . of the trustees to the banking book. Mr. Burns appeared for the accused. John Loch said ho lived at No. 1, Princes.street, Spitalfields, and belonged to the Leather Dressers Society. The prisoner did belong to the same society, and was part trustee with five respecting some money deposited in the Southwark Savings' Rink. In July, 1855, they had 101. Bs. in the bank, standing in their names, and no suspicion that it had been drawn out took place until a fevr days ago, when witness ascer tained that the prisoner had been to the Bank and taken out the money. He accordingly gave information to the police and the prisoner was given into custody. Mr. Carrie said it was a case that required further investigation, therefore he should remand the prisoner, but he was willing to except good bail for his future attendance.. THAMES. A TOBACCO PETTICOAT.—CRINOLINE SITERSEDED,--- Lottie Dartdemere, a little Dutch woman who carried an infant in ber army, was Lrought before Mr. Yardley, charged with smuggling 21Ibs. of foreign manufactured tobacco, Ly which she had incurred a penalty of 1001. This was an information exhihi'ed by Mr. J- A. Walford, tide surveyor, by order of the Board of Cus toms. It appeared tha% on the arrival of an Antwerp steamer yesterday at St. Katherine's wharf, the prisoner, who was a passenger, was about to leave the vessel, when her extraordinary bulk attracted the notice of the revenue officers on hoard, who politely asked her if she bad any goods liable to duty in her possession, to which she made signs in the negative. The officers transferred her to a female rearcher to whom she declared that ' she was enceink. "Then you must allow me to b 3 the midwife, and relieve you," said the unrelenting Engli,h woman, and she accordingly proceeded to strip the Dutch woman, and took from her a huge petticoat, which encircled her person, and which was lined throughout with compressed tobacco. The prisoner then stammered out an excuse that as ladies wore crinoline petticoats in England to give them a very bulky appearance, she had sub:titutad tobacco, which was cheap in Holland. The excuse was not credited, and the prison r was taken into custody, the case re ported to the Board of Cuetome, and this prosecution instituted. The prisoner, through an interpreter, pleaded gull/. A Custom-house officer, produced a large petticoat made of canvas, with straps attached to make it fast to the shoulders of the wearer. It was filed with tobacco. Mr. Yardley said he bad no alternative but to sen tence the prisoner to pay a fine of 100/. to the Quen, and in default to be imprisoned for six ino:Ahs. • The priEonlr hoped she would be allowed to take her baby into the pz ison, and, as it was only 8 months she was allowed to take it with her MAEKEN NEW - S.—(This Day.)
