The manager paid the amount stated, £9 8s 6d, but it sub sequently appeared that the invoice had never been written by Ordshaw ' and that he had n o t supp li e d t h e nails. Mr. Tyndal Atkinson defended the prisoner. His lordship directed an acquittal. Ganorrs Roß3EßY.—James Stirling, aged 20, poulterer, and Samuel Robinson, aged 37, tobacconist, were charged with having, at Manchester, on the 18th May lest, feloniously and violently asaulted Thomas Barlow and robbed him of three halfpence and a tobacco box. Mr. Fonblanque conducted the pro:ecation. Mr. Sowler defended Rabinson. The prisoner Stirling was not defended. The prosecutor, a machine-printer, was going along Portland -street, Man c h es t er, on the morn-. ing of the 19.1 i of May, when the prisoner, Stirling, leaped upon him, struck him in the face, squeezed his throat, and ended by throwing him against a wall, and taking out of his p ckets 41., and a tobacca bex, which were all he had in his possession at the time. Robinson was with the prisoner at the time, and Stirling handed the box to him. Rubinson opened it, and said, " There's nothing in it—what's the ar=e of robbing him ?" The prosecutor was straggling with S irling, and crying out fur help, when taro praice cfficers came up and arrested both prisoners. Mr. S)wler addressed the jury on b half of Robinson, who he contended was otly a passer-by, and had nothing to do with the robbery- He called as evidence in his behalf Mr. Williams,n, master carpenter of this town, who deposed that he had known Robins in for twenty-two years, during which tire tbousands of pounds had passed between their hands, and had always found him a strictly honest man. The prisoner Stirling defended himself with considerable ability and eloquence, arguing that the prosecut w met him in the street, challenged him to fight, and then finding that he was geniis?: the worst of it, cried cut 'Robbery," and made up the charge against him. The jury returned a verdict of " Guilty of a common assault only." His Lerdship said, this was equivalent to a verdict of not guilty, and ordered the pea soneos to be discharged. POST OFFICE ROBBERY.—{Imes Purvis, aged 40, letter carrier, was charged with hayieg at Liverpool, on the 17th Jane, 1857, feloeiously stolen one post letter, containing one sovereign. From the cis.; for the 1 r situ ion, it ap peared that some susaicion being entertained of the prisoner's honesty, a marked sovereign was enclosed in a letter which the prisoner was to deliver, addressed to " Miss Mary Liwson, his. llolme's, 31, Feenehe-street, Liver poo!." There is no such street in verpoot as that named, and the letter was what is known as a " blind letter." The prisoner was watched and seen to go through " Finch"- street, but be did not deliver the letter anywhere. He then went home to his house, 68, Brunswick-real, and was there arrestea', Tne narked sovereign was found in his pocket but not the letter.

There was a tea p trty cn sLe ni,fht when the eccarrence took place, at a public-house cal;ed tlae Red Lion, and the girl was there. Toe prisoner was also there, and the deceased came to fetch his daughter home. The prisonEr and the deceased were very friendly up to the time of leaving, when it was sated that the prisoner made soma effort to fasten a quarrel upon the deceased.

Evidence of the marriage was given, and also of the existence of the defendant's husband in Melbourne. Verdict for the defendant.

MOJRH AND ANOTHER V. 131781IFLL, P.O.—The plain tiff's are merchants at Manchester, and the defendant's are the Lancaster Banking C reapany, sued through their public ofEeer,•and the action was brought to recover the sum of £llB under the following circumstances:—The defen dant's had a branch bank at Pres+or, and among their customers there was the firm of B.,verli-y, Chandler and Headley, ironfoundere. That firm was dissolved in 1856. their indebtedness to the balk amounting to over £3,000. On the dissolution of the firm, Mr. Chandler commenced business with his brother, and had some transactions with the plaintiffs, who were well known to the defendants. On the 16th of February, Mr. Chandler gave the plaintiffs a bill for £llB. It was his course of business to meet his bill in London, and when the bill of the 16th February became due he went to the hank, taking with him a copy of the bill, and requested them to advise it. The defen dants, as Mr. Chandler alleged, undertook to advise it, and in his pass-ho-1 debited him with £llB on account of Moore's bill. The bill was not honoured, and when applied to, the bank denied that they knew Mr. Moore at all in the matter. Mr. Chandler was indebted to the bark at the time, and after the dishonour of the bill stopped, and assigned his property for the benefit of his creditors. When he requested the b ink. to advise the bill, he paid in a cheque for £2OO, but in place of meeting the 'i, the bank applied it to the reduction of his balance. After the case had proceedel some distance, it was agreed to take a verdict for the defendants, leave bring reserved to the plaintiffs to move in the C )urt of Exchequer to have the verdict entered for them. The vise depends on the question of " priority." Mr. Mark, Q.C., with Mr. Mal huish, appeared for the plaintiff's ; and Mr. Atherton, Q.C., with Mr. Cross, for the defendants. lIARGREAVER V. THE EAST LANCASHIRE RAILWAY COM PANY.—The plaintiff is an overlooker of power-looms, and he brought the present action to recover com pensation in damages fi r injuries sustained through 1 the negligence of th e d e f en d en t s servants. In August last year the plaintiff was travelling by the I defendants' railway, an.l when the train reached Heywood Bridge, near Bury, the train ran off the line. The carriage in which the plain iff sat was upset, and he sustained very considerable injuries. One of his legs was severely cut, and his thigh was so fractured that the leg is now two-and a-half inches shorter than the other. For the defence the neeligetce was admitted, but it was alleged that the plaintiff had received £4O in fall compensation. A docu ment to that effect was produced, but the plaintiff alleged that when he signed it he did not know its nature. Mr. Monk, Q.C., and Mr. Wheeler, appeared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Atherton, Q.C., with Mr. Segal., for the de fendants. The case had net concluded on the rising of the Court at-'6 o'clock. It adjearned to 9 o'clock this moining. CORONER'S INQUESTS. THE FATAL ACCIDENT IN WEST DERBY-RnAD —An in quest was held yestezday on the body of Mrs. Garner, whole melancholy death we recorded in yesterday's paper. It appeared that the horse that caused the death of the lady, belonged to a farmer named Joseph Grundy, who has farms at Rainford and Eccles. The horse was in Baker street, We't Derby-roa and whilst waiting to have the cart loaded with manure, the animal ran away. It seems that Mrs. Garner in trying to avoid the collision, jumped out of the phaton, when she was unfortunately caught by the wheel and killed as described. Her sister, who was with her at the time, escaped, but got a great shock. The jury found a verdict of accidental death. The next inquest was held on a - chtid thirteen months old, named Mary Anne Carver, that died on board of the ship " Constitution," having been scalded some days ago, and the result was death. Verdict: "Accidental death." On the body of James Parrington, a publican and cart owner, who died in consequence of a fall from a cart as de scribed in yesterday's paper. Verdict : " Accidental death." A SWELL MOB SWEETHEART. Margaret Grove, en artless looking young girl, or modest and prep ssessing appearance, was charged at Worship street, London police court, on Monday, under peculiar and rnelaaeholy circumstances, with having attempted to destroy herself. Police-constable Coope.a II 27, stated, that on the evening of Sunday se'nnight he was hastily sent for to a house of infamous repute in Kest-court, Spitalfields, where he fund the prisoner in a senseless state, and was informed by the inmates that she bad taken a powerful dose of oxalic acid. Witness immediately procured the ngaittanne of n enrgnnn, a:root;.1. She was removed to the London Hospital, where she had ever since remained. Her system was so greatly shattered from the prostrating effects of the poison, that she was not in a condition to be broaght up for examination until that mornirg.• In answer to further questions from the magis trate, it was intimated by the officer that in the course of his subsequent inquiries with regard to the prisoner, he had ascertained that she had been a domestic servant in the family of a harness manafacturer in Whitechapel, with whom she had lived about eleven mon'lr, when she accidently formed a street aquaintance with a young man who introduced himself to her as a mechanic in good circumstances, and ultimately lured heraway from her situa • tion under a promise of marriage. On the faith of his representations, she accompanied him to a house in Keat court. where she had only been a short time, when she discovered that the man she had so fondly trusted was a common thief, who passed under the fists name of " Fir boy," and that he was a leading member of one of the worst gangs in that infamous locality, She was greatly shocked at the disceve-y, and bitterly upbraided him with the cruel deceptiou, to which he responded with a volley of abase, accompanied with a profusion of blows, which covered her with blood, blackened be h her eyes, and rendered her insensible. The ruffian then fled from the house, and on recovering her consciousness the poor girl, in a paroxyism of anguish at the disgrace and ruin to which she was reduced, made her way to the nearest drug shop, where she was incautiously screed with the oxalic acid with which she attempted to terminate her existence. On being interrogated by the magi7traee, the prisoner, in a low and faltering voice, fully confirmed the above narrative, and added that her father had been more than 20 years in the service of an eminent engineer at Westminster, but that she had been deterred from apprising her friends of her unhappy position. in consequence of the shame and suff-ring, it must necessarily eetall upon them. Mr. D'Eyncourt sad that it was truly a lamentable case, but as it was imperatively necessary that her friearls shouh:l be imrne liately communicated with, he mast order her to be detained for that purpose. Tee girl's father, a respectable elderly man, who exhibited extreme emotion at the abject condition of his unfortunate daughter, which he had not he'ard of, was now i n at t en d ance, and having consented to receive her under his charge and adopt eff?etnal means to ensure her future safety, the prisoner was consigned to his protecti on. ONLY PAUPERS ! In the course of Monday two miserable-looking lads, named Walter Dillon and Pa.tric't Connell, was brought before Mr. Burcharn, at Southwark Police -court, charged with breaking two squares of glass, value 25., i n th e win dows of Bloomsbury Workhouse. Fairliurn, the porter, said that the prisoners came to the workhouse on the pre vious night and requested to be admitted. lie told them that he could not do so, and bid them to go away, when each of them broke a window, and then he gave them into custody. Mr. B•ircham : Wh.t is the reason you turned them away ? Fairborn : Th.re was no room, Sir, and I could not admit them. Mr Burcharn : You have a casual ward in Bermondsey workhouse, I suppose? Witness: Oh, yes, Sir, and that was full. Mr. Bareham: What is the extent of your accomodttion, then ? Witness: There are three beds for males and three for females ? Mr. Burcham: Why, thrmonds:y I believe to be one of the largest and most densely-papnlated parishes in this metro. pelf; and from what I see daily in this court, it is the re sort of the poorest people in the country. lam astonished to hear that in tht casual ward of such a workhouse there are only six beds for the mil: and female casual poor. Fairbury But each bed holds two persons; therefore twelve are accommodated. Mr Burelisrn : lam surprised at such disgraceful conduct on the part of the parish au thorities, only to have aecomodation in their workhouse for twelve unfortunate paupers in a parish the population of which I understand to be upwards of sixty thoutAnd. This is not the first time I have heard complaints re:- pet:tintr the treatment of casual paupers at this workhouse, and I thirk it highly discreditable on the part of the au thorities that they do not have proper aceornodation for the poor creatures applyieg for a nigh f.'s shelter. It is al most a daily ocairrence for the unfortunate to aptly to me how to act in their miserable condition; and I have told them to go to the workhouse in the district where they are destitute, and demand admission and food. That is use less advice to them when there is only sceomodatioa for 12 persons in the workhouse where most of the poor crexures come from. I shall not punish these lads, who have been driven to commit the crimes they are charged with by the disgraceful neglect on the part of the parish authorities. They are discharged. A trades mr.n sitting in the court here handed the lads a shilling each to purchase food, which they expressed their thatks for, and lefi the court, POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-YESTERDAY. LIVERPOOL. BEFORE MR. J. AIKEN. CIIARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT BY A CLFRIC.--ThOMM Joseph Connor, a well dressed youth, apparently about eighteen years of age, was brought up by officer Laycock, on a charge of having embezzled over £7O, belonging to Messrs. Grimshaw, his employers. Mr. Squarey was for the pro secution. and Mr. Scott (barrister). instructed by Mr. Campbell, appeared for the prisoner. Laycock said he followed the prisoner to Wexford, where he arrested him, and told him that he was charged with embezzling various sums of money, when he said he knew nothing of it. He found over £8 in mon y on him, and a goodly quantity of new clothes. Mr. Charlesworth, one of the firm of the house, was examined, and, in reply to Mr. Scott, he said the prisoner was in the it employment about four years, and he was paid 12s. per week. He was taken in as an office boy first, at five shillings per week, and was advanced from time to time. The witness was cross-examined at some lenglo, but the only thing of import was that he would not say that the prisoner had pointed out to him some irregularities that he had made in some entries, but he could not call to mind anything of the sort. Mr. George Lingham, cash keeper at Messrs. Grimshaw's, said on the 3rd of this month he went to dinner at two and returned at four ; he left a bag with £5O in i in charge of the prisoner, for the purpose of paying drafts. or any thing that woul 1 come in during his absence. When he came back the prisoner handed him a receipt for £2O, cultagml to nave noon pats to vaptana Jordan of the Lady Franklin, and some other receipts that he had paid, and gave him some ten or fifteen pounds in gold, as the balance of ihe cash, and that would be quite correct provided that the sums hid been paid. The body of the receipt was filled up in the hand-writing of the prisoner. Cross examined by Mr. Scott : The receipt is signed by Captain Jordan and in his hind-writing. The prisoner borrowed £2 from me the night before he went away. Capt.. Jordan, of the Lady Franklin, proved that although the receipt was in his handwriting —that is, the sigaature—he did not receive money, nor any money at all from the prisoner, on the day, nor at any other time. Mr. Squarey, put in two rece . pt books, and the following is a narrative of the prisoners proceedings : On the 6th May, 1856, Captain Jordon received a sum of £2O from the prosecutors, and on the 3rd and sth of the same month in the same year he had also received sums, all of which he signed for in the receipt b)ok. It appeared that the receipt so given by him on the 6th May, 1856, was cut out of the old re ceipt book—the receipt stamp bearing da'e 25, 6, 55—that is, the 25th of the sixth month, 1855 This was most ingeniously posted into the receipt book of the present time, and the date altered. Th e o th er rece i pts o f C apta i n Jordon of the 3rd and sth May, 1856 remained in the old bolk, but the receipt of the 6th was rile, and pasted into the new book as described. A. like process was resorted to by the prisoner in regard to Captain Blake, who was charged £3O on the 27th July, under a similar process as that adopted towards Captain Jordan. The captain was examined, and proved that he did not get the mDney. Mr. Squarey called on hid Wor ship to commit the prisoner for trial at the present assizes. He had several similar cases against the prisoner, but the captains were absent just now. Mr. Scott said he would not offer any remark'in the present stags of the proceed ings. He would ad; his Worship to take bail for the pri soner. The prisoner was committed, and his Worship refused to accept of bail for his appesaanoe. BEFORE MR ALDERMAN HOLME AND MM. E HEATH. UNwnoLEsomE FlSH.—Catherine Siddall, the owner of a fish-stall in Bt. John's M trket, was summoned by Inspector Tyrrell, for having exposed sixty-two pounds of salmon that was not fit for human food. The case was proved, and a floe of 9s. 6 I. was inflicted on her.. CUNVICTICN OF A iTIGHWAY SURVEYOR FOR THREIVEN NAO SnooT.—At the Wakefield Petty Sessions nn Mon day, Mr. _John Jackson, corn-miller, of Wakefield, and proprietor of the Fleet Mills, Oulton-cum-Woodlesford, and one of the highway sarvesors, was charged with hosing threatened to shoot Mr. John Whittaker, builder, of Oalton, on the 6th cf A ages'. For some months past there has been considerable ill feeling existing in the village, owing to an attempt made by the highway surveyors to supersede the use of an ancient welt by the erection of a pomp. The inhabitants had rissn against this pump, and demolished it. Lost Monday about thirty defendants were summoned for the damage by the highway surveyors, when the magistrates found that the defendants had only used the neces'ary farce to remove the pump. After returning from Wakefield to Oulton, the defen dants, ettc :waged by the decision of the magistrates, threatened to remove a "mistle" erected by Mr. Hartlsy, one of the highway surveyors, on a piece of land con tiguous to the well, sad wh:ch land had hitherto been consHered public psoperty. A number of the inhabitants assembled in front of Mr. Hertley's house on Thursday night last, during his absence. His wife, being terrified by the appearance of the men, sent one of her daughters to Mr. Jackson, at Fiest Mills. The latter, on hearing what was taking place, arm:d himself with a brace of pistols, mounted hi; horse, and 'proceAed to Harley's. On his way to the latter place he stopped at Whittaker's house. Whittaker, hearing the horse stop, came to the door. As soon as he come out, Mr. Jackson pulled the pistols nit of his pocket, and s rid, " Whittaker, I'll shoot you. If you speak to me or come near me to night I will blsw your brains out. I've got two of them. and they are both loaded with ball." Mr. Jackson, who was described as being in a very excited state, then rode off. Ile subsruently got the ass'stanee of the police, and everything passed efl quietly in the village, the " mistie" not being interfered with. Mr. Jackson now said that he only produced the pistols for the purpose of striking terror into the rie'ers, and that he had no intentiJn of using them. Whittaker had been a ringleader in the destruction of the pump. The magistrates ordered Mr. Jackson to be bound over in £5O to keep the peace towards Whittaker for six months, and to pay the expenses, sCI 6s 61. The bench, at the same time, in timated that if the "mistle" had been destroyed, they would have dealt very differently with the case than they had done, MuNsvna Versus C( NNAUGHT.—Mary Reddington, a native of that portion of Ireland, which in former times was chosen only in preference to certain lower regions, was charged for having " p:nked ' the forehead, with a round stone, of a native of an adjoining province, called Munster, said nativa giving her name as Sabina Weelan. It appeared that in the "classic" locality of New Bird street, seplace that affords more "amusement" to the police than any other street in the northern metropolis, there was "a taste of a siiimmage," between the " Widgeons" and the " Magpies." The prisoner belonged to the " Conndught Rangers," and in the pride of her fagabolloughzsm, she rushed, through the street clearing all before her. One of her weapons was a "lump" of a stone, very minu'ely described as double the dimen sions of a "mealy potato," and with this she, like another David, hit the Goliath forehead of Mrs. Weelan with the missile, and fir the time laid her low enough. surgeon Pope, of the Southern Hospital, laid the wound was a serious one, and caused an indentation in the skull, and when she was brought to the hospital, she was in a very bad state. The prisoner was remanded. NOVEL PAYMENT.—A sailor, named William Middleton, was charged with having assaulted a Mrs Eliza Pendle bury, who keeps an eating-honse in Kent-street. It appeared that on Monday afternoon, the prisoner went to the complainant's shop, and had six penny worth of bread and " bloatere," and when she hinted that payment would be desirable, he seized her by the neck, and nearly choked her. He was sent to gaol in default of paying a fine of 10s. and costs. PLUNDER or C itSFES.—John Jones, a youth about eighteen years of age, was charged with hating stolen five barrel, and two half-barrel, casks', belonging to Mr. Sidney Sherlock, Agent for Ind, Cooper and Co , brewers, near London, and also at Burton on-Trent; and Thomas Bryan, a cooper, in business in Fontenoy-street, was charged with having received the same, knowing them to have been stolen. Mr. Bluck defended Bryan. The facts of the case were these—Jones was in the employment of Mr. Sherlock, bat left about a month since, On Saturday he went to a beer-house in Bolt 'n-street, kept by a Mrs. Roberts, and said he had been sent for some empty casks that were there. She gave the casks in question, getting a printed receipt from him. It seemed that the boy had kept some of the blank printel receipts femn the time he was in Mr. Sherlock's employment. He hired a cart, and took the casks from Mrs. Roberts to the yard of the prisoner Bryan, in Fontenoy-street, where they were susequently found by the police, and identified by Mr. Sherlock, although the marks and names wera clefs:ed. The above facts were clearly proved by Mr. Sherlock, Mrs. Roberts, and the carter who carried the casks. Mr. Bluck en deavoured to show that his client gave a fair price for the casks, and that he had acted openly. H.s Worship said the case was very char, and he censured the conduct of the cooper, saying that, in many cases, the conduct of receivers of stolen property was worse than the actual thief. He sent both prisoners for trial, but agreed to take bail for Bryan, two sureties in £5O each. John Hughes, who had obtained 104. from the Rev. Mr. Hull, of the Blind Asylum, was brought up on remand The details appeared a few days ago, and the case being fully proved, the prisoner was sent to jail for two months THE SELECT VESTRY. The usual periodical meeting of this Beard was held yesterday, at the public-offices, Brownlow•hill, the Rev. Rector Campbell in the chair. The other vestrymen present were—Messrs. Denton, J. Jones, Woodruff, Bairstow, Shaw, Byers, Crawford, Jackson, Critchley, Richardson, Syred, W. Jones, Owen, and Cropper. The VESTRY-CLERK read the minutes of the last melting, which were confirmed. TUC WORKHOUSE C)3I3IiTTER. From the proceedings of this committee it appeared that there were 485 Eick cases in the workhouse, 33 fever cases, and 11 itch. The number of vagrants relieved was 249 males, 93 females, 30 children, being a total of 372. After making several recommendations, the proceedings stated that Mr. Leather had applied to have his medical pupil admitted to the lying-in ward, but the committee hag decided that the application could not be entertained. Mr. SHAW said he begged to move the confirmation of the proceedings. At the last meeting notice was given of the appointment of two medical offieer.4, and he wished to know whether that basiness would be proceeded with at once. The Vesvev-Ceeatt : Those appointments are usually made after the business has been gone through with. Mr Snew would move, then, that the tenders for the iron gates, ,C.7c , be accepted. The proceedngi were then confirmed. TilE INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS COMM MEE. The proceedings of this committee having been read, Mr WM. JONES said he had a few observations to make in reference to a letter from the Rev. R. Doyle, Catholic priest, which had been inserted i t one of the papers, on the subject of the industrial schools, at Kirkdale. These observations he had written down, and would read them to the board. He had taken that course that he might be correct and temperate. (Flear, hear.) The CHAIRM us wished to know whether Mr. Jones expected the vestry to take any steps in consequence. (hear, hear.) Mr. W. JONES : Certainly. Mr. WOODRUFF objected to any person' going to the vestry with his speech reedy printed, and reading of it. If it had been printed he conceived that each member should have been furnished with a copy. Mr. JONES : The observations are my own. He then proceeded to read —" Since we last met, a letter has appeared in one of the newspapers from the Rev Mr. Doyle, the Roman Catholic priest attending these schools, not only assailing me personally for the observations I thought it my duty to make to the Board, bat also maligning the school committee and the Vestry." Mr. WOODRUFF said he would rise to order. What ever might be Mr. Jones's reasons, he objected to the observations being read. It was the first time he ever heard of such a thing as a person going into a room with his speech ready printed, and reading of it. Mr. W. Jones : It will take less time to read it than you are talking about it. ( !fear, hear.) Mr. Snaw also rose to order, and cbjected fo the then ment being read, on the grounds that Mr. Doyle had not the opportunity of defending himself. The CHAIRMAN said there would not have been any diffi culty in the case if Mi.. Jones had learnt the speech off, and came there and delivered it. There was no doubt that the practice was very irregular, but he did not see how he could preve .t it being read, for it was well known that sometimes the members of the House of Commons read their speeches. Therefore, ‘. I cannot authoritively prevent Mr. Jones from reading hia. I think that he may go on." Mr. JONES continued :—" Tile present le, I conceive, the proper place and time to rebut the unwarrantsb'e aspersions cast upon us by that gentleman, and place the acts of the committee and this board in a just and true light before the pullic. " Me Grace.—Mr. Doyle begins with the chanting of g - ace before and after meat, as a religious grievance. It will be remembered that about nine months ago, the com mittee authorised the chanting of the grace before and after meals. This custom had been in observance some months, when Mr. Doyle, (without previous communication with either the governor or the board), ordered the Roman Catholic children not to join in it. The committee com plained of the irregularity as tending to induce, by example, a spirit of insubordination in the children. Mr. Doyle still justifies his conduct, and claims a right, at all times, to veto any rule of the school that shall not be in agreement with what he to me his conscience. We now, therefore. see your authority here for the first time openly defied. Mr. Doyle denounces this community of p:ayer as illegal ; but what says the law ? You know it. " Observe, Ist, Thet grace shall be said.' 2nd, That all shall be present at the time it is said,' though, how to be raid, whether by chanting or otherwise, is not ordered, this being left to the managing committee. It wilt by even, then, that the illegality is but a pretence. The prayer is not Protestant, but Catholic, thoug't perhaps, in his eyes, not sufficiently Roman Catholic. The feeling and senti ments it expresses ought to be universal, and take in all denominations. Where is the man with any pretensions to proper religious feeling that could not join with every Christain in singing, before meet— " Be present at our table, Lord, Be here and everywhere ado ed ; These creatures bless, and g-ant that we May feast in Paradise with Thee." And after meat— " We thank thee, Lord, for this our food, Bat most of all for Jesus' blood ; Let manna to our souls be given, The bread of life sent down from Heaven." " The minds of all, both in and out of Parliament, are anxiously exercised to devise some practicable mode of combined religious education, for the purpose of elevating, if possible, the moral condition of the poor of the country ; but how hopeless must seem the task when we find a Roman Catholic priest denouncing the idea, and persist ing in claiming a right to prohibit these children feorn ,j caning in chanting words so unobjectionable, so uni versally appropriate and devotional. ' . .b2SUbordineion.—Mr. Doyle charges me with connect ing, as cause and effect, his conduct on the subject of the chanting, with the morals of the children in the schools. The charge, if charge it was, was simply this, that the right Mr. Doyle assumes is perfectly incompatible with the proper discipline and good g comment of the schoo's. Insubordination is a word of greater impost than is ordinarily conceived. Obeience and pliability of disposition in the young contribute chiefly to the formation of moral character. And when we find a gentle man, without being an officer of the schools, as he himself acknowledges, bat daily in attendance there, claiming a right, as regards a large number of these children, para mount to the constituted authority, and in the exercise of such right calling upon those children to openly disobey lawful authority, I again assert that he is, to a serious extent, responsible for the insubordination prevalent there, with its ultimate consequences. " The Boys Watson.—With reference to the boys Watson, Mr. Doyle has worked tragedy out of this, and in a running comment upon the atrocities alleged t 3 have been commit . ed upon one of them, assumes a qes,ntity of virtuous indignation which he knew he did not feel. The history of these boys is soon told : deserted by an affectionate parent, they were brought by a friendly hand to the workhouse as orphans, and registered Protestant. The mother is still alive, and is married again, and residss on the Cheshire side of the river; the boys obstinatlyrefased to give any clue to the whereabouts of their parent, and were, to some extent, seconded by Mr. Doyle, when he, in the hearing of the boye, repreaended au endeavour to obtain the information for the purpose, not of determing th-is rellgicl, but of discovering the delinquent parent. How eve.., to return; the b ys were educated as Protestants at the workhouse until they were drafted to the schools, and were there registered as Protestants. Not long after this, however, by either oversight or management, the boys are found on the Roman Catholic side of the home. The error is d;scevered, but, according to the testimony of all the officers, none of them was punished. Again, and recently, a second inquiry takes place, and the committee is asked to consider the case. A Sunday intervenes between the hearing of the case and the decision thereon. As a concession to the prejudices of Mr. Doyle, and, at hi= own request, the boys are kept neutral on that Sunday ; and, for this end, they are detained during Service in the large school-room. Tnis Mr. Doyle, with sgi utter recklessness cf assertion, calls locking them np' penalty. On the to seeding Sunday, at the hour of Divine Service, in the afternoon, one of the boys being then on the play-ground, is ordered by the master to to church,' meaning by the word church the service which the lad was accustomed to attend, what ever that might ba. He refuses to go, and becsmes inso lent. Tile master gently taps him upon the back cf the head with a small twig, about six inches long, which he held in his hand. The boy upon this applies the oppro bious epithet which you are all aware of, and which is too revolting to repeat, and runs for a brickbat to throw at the master. This eransaetion was afterwards searchingly examined into by the committee, when a Roman Catholic member was present ; the result wa', the master was exonerated from all blame, and the boy expelled the schools. In a few days after this, Mr. Doyle represents to the public this profane, insubordinate, wicked lad as a martyr to religious constancy, and myself as his persecutor, the incarnation of intolerance and cru lty, just fit for the functions of a grand inquisitor. Pity that the conscience of Mr. Doyle did sea feel more the restramisg power of the divine prohibition, Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.' ` Pres ol 4/46414. —Mr. D0:46 feigns a charge agaiust self, and waxes particular in rebutting it. Whereas, the amount of what I said was si m ply t hi s , th a t t h e f ai l u re o f the children after leaving th e sc h oo l was tracea bl e t o the! , insubordination while in the echool. He sneers at the ides_ of investigati on i n t o th e re li g i ous d enom i nat i on of ./67. cases' p oduoing di sorgan i sa ti on i n t h e sc h oo l s . Fete cases! Have they been few? D ar i ng th e l as t trio. months seventy-fi ve cases h ave b een m i nute l y inquire! into,whie during the same period Mr. D has proof:erre! charges against ye- io ns o ffi cers . T o con d uct these inqui_ ries, a large number o f c hild ren h ave b een ca ll e d u p 0' witnesses. Common sense tells you how prejudicial, .1P 0 ? the minds of the child ren , thi s must b e. M r. Doyleellstl. Pies these inquiries by a lib s l upon t h e governor and the committee of the workhouse. He insinuates that no regard whatever is paid at the workhouse to the religion of the parents of the children these. In repudiating this sae?` der, I have solely in view the information of the pub not the correction of Mr Doyle. He knows better things. He knows that the School Cemmittee and the whole Vestrl are increasingly an tins that no means should be left untried to prevent all proselytism, whether from design or from accident. " Ilia Questions.—We come now to Mr. Doyle's Catechieree He asks whether the following resolutions have been respected :-Ist, That disgraceful one which sh o ws that not even a Catholic pupil-teethes can ba appointed, utile! by a specter. resolution of the Vestry, and excludes, of course, any Catholic child, no matter how meritorlotiel from the office of pupil-teacher, unless the Committee interfere and make such SPECIAL resolution. I can scud/ think Mr. Doyle knew what he was writing about. There is, he knows, or ought to know, the same law for the Protestant as for the Catholic children. Each can be appointed to the office of pupil-teacher only by serail' resolution of this Vestry. Where, then, is the ground for complaint,—where the disgrace. He also states that the Vestry, many a year since, pegged a resolution that three Catholic pupil-teachers chouli be appointed, and that the committee hare allowed that to remain a dead letter ever since. The facts are these year and a half ago, and not ` many a year since,' the Vestry resolved for the ap pointment of additional Roman Catholic pupil-teaeheret Since then, one probationary teacher has beets appointed, and another presented to the Govern' ment Inspector for examination. Will it be believed that Mr. Dosletnew these fac's at the time he was w.iting ? The reflection is painful. 2nd. Whether the Protestant chaplain observes the rule prohibiting bite from improper interference with the Roman Catholic chi" - dren in the schools. This question is put for the purpose of insinuation. Now, if Mr. Doyle, upon anything worthy the name of evidence, believed this, why did he not honest' ly sta'e it and point out the instances to the committee. But Mr. Doyle is wary : inuendoea are safer, and some; times, with the unreflecting, serve the place of facts. Weh would it have been for the peace and harmony and d lo ' cipline of the school, had Mr. Dsyle himself been free frog the conduct which he now so virtuously reprobates. At this very moment the decisions of the committee upon the religious designations they have investigated are a ' POD LETTER.' Mr. Doyle's mandate has gone forth and the children disobey,—under this priestly pressure the cote mittee must make haste and eat up their resolutions, or the Roman Catholic children will become sainted martyrs, and the committee instruments of intolerance and c r uelty. Bat the question impli es t h at t h e chaplain is daily guilty 01 this breach of rule with the knowledge and connivance of the committee—an insinuation which, plainly expressed? becomes a falsehood. 3rd. That the Vestry, ad but two members, have vote I that the religious designation of children, as entered at the workhouse, is not binding' where children are reg7sterel Catholics. This, again, 1 0 insinuated rather than asserted. I need here only observe that the minutes of your proceedings fully repudiate the insinuation. Mr. Doyle winds up his tirade with personal slander. Undercover of a clec s i c quotat i on, he applies t o me a character infamous as a libertine and debauchee--- 1 a quotation, pointles s i n i ts app li cation, but disgraceful to himself as a man and a minister of peace and goodwill. The scope, the tendency, and I doubt not, the primary intention of the whole letter was to represent the School Committee and this Vestry before the public as a legalised combination, intolerant and oppressive against the right! and liberties of the Roman Catholic inmates of the Industrial schools. Its ultimate c bject is equally clear, namely, further but unfair concessions. But the Vestry and the public will be upon their guard. The religion and e ights of Protestants are as sacred as those of Roman Cathodes? and I feel sere the School Committee wilt still zealously watch over them, and admit of no concessions that might interfere with impart al justice to all classes. Mr. Doyle is :Omitted into the schools as ths autherised teacher of the Roman Catholic children there In this letter yeti have the rights he claims ; in his daily conduct you have the power he exercises, and he has written, unmistak ably, the animotus he entertains towards the School Committee and this Board. It is for this Vestry now to say, hew far, under such circumstances. Mr. Doyle is likely to produce that harmony and subordination amongst the children, so indispensably necessary for the welfare of the schools ; and also to sake such special cog nizance of the matter as the circumstances require." The CIIAIRMIN : Do you make any motion ? Mr. Wm. JONES : I simply move the confirmation of the committee's proceedings. Mr. Woonnurr considered the whole thing so out of order that he should not take any trouble to answer them- Mr. Desrost d ffsred from Mr. Woodruff, for it satisfied him that the committee were doing their duty. That wee not the first time that Mr. Doyle had been brought before them, and he did think that the Catholic priest should' send ano her pe-son to take his place in the schools. He was a very troublesome priest, and should be expelled at once. The CHAIRMAN then declared the proceedings confirmed. Mr. BAIRSTOW wished it to ba understood that the docu ment th t had just beea read was not the production of the committee. Mr. WM JONES : It is entirely my own views. The CHAU:X.IN said there was no doubt but that the pro ceedings were rather irregular, and must not be acted upon as a precedent. He would say that if it was attempted to real another speech he should call on the Vestry, for they were the parties, to stop it. At a subsequent stage of the business Mr CritchleY, who hid given notice that he should move for a select committee to inquire into the management of the Indus trial Schools, came forward and withdrew it. Mr. BAIRSTOW and Mr. DENTON expressed their regret that Mr. Critchley should have taken such a step. Mr. CRITCHLEY denied that in propo_•ing the motion he meant to cast any reflec t ion on the School Committee. TIIE FINANCE COMMITTEE. The proceed ings of this committee having been read, Mr. WOODRUFF said, in moving their confirmation, he , 'begged to call the aktent;on of the board to the serious in crease in the number of lunatic cases, not alone in Liver pool, but all over England. He then expressed it as his opinion that a certain class of imbeciles—not dangerous idiots—might be accommodated in the workhouse at a mach less expense than by the present method, and hoped that the matter would be considered by justices, an I that before long some arrangement would be come to, whereby such idiots caul Ibe kept in their own buildings. The next subject was the cottage rating question —as a regular notice was required, he would only say that formerly there were six cull etors o f cottage property, but from the num ber of owners who had compounded for the rate, they were of opinion that the five remaining would be sufficient in futu'e, and that there would not be near so much work. They p Nmose to increase the two senior collectors salary '£lo per annum, making it £l6O, and the remaining three at £1.30, and that - the staff should be gradually diminished unall it was all done under oae heal, which would be a great saving to the public, and would be more simplified. He gave notice that at the next meeting he shoull make a motion to that effect. ASSISTANT MEDICAL OFFICERS. Mr. SHAW then moved the appintmsnt of Mr. Croker and Mr. Parker, as Vats a:6istant meiieal officers to the Workhouse. Subsequently Mr. Liddard and Mr. Owens were also proposed. The Board divZded, when there were eighteen voted fur the fiat two p:ent'emen, and only two for the litter. Mr. Craer and Mr. Parker were therefore elected. There being no other bu3iness, the beard adjourned.

There must be a loan to that amount either on the security of the company or of the nation. In the one case the loan will entail a burden of about £350,000 a-year, in the other case not lets than £600,000 a-year ; a difference which cannot bat have a s rious effect on the luiure sources of Indian improvement. If we lend our credit to the company it should only be on the understanding that henceforth the British government shall be wholly and solely responsible far the government of India without the interposition of the shadow of a shade between it and the Peninsular, its army, its people, and ito mauves,
