His Lordship said the question was one of vast public;
importance and he would consider it. The real difficulty
was the omission of the date in the decree, end whether
it would govern all the proceedings. He would make one
observation on the Church Discipline Act. It had been
framed by one who knew nothing ecclesiastical law ;
and his lordship added, " the by it know no

THE POLICE COURT&

WESTMINSTER.
Edward 'finery, a ticket-of-leave man, was charged with
neglecting to report himself to the inspector on duty at
Westminster station, according to the teems of his limner.
Mr. Inspector Humphreys, of the B division, said the
prisoner was a convict on license. It was his duty to re-
port himself to Westminster station once • month ; he
reported himself to witness on July 20, and on the nth of
September for the last time. He failed to report himself
in October, and has not been seen since. His license would
expire on the 3rd of January next. Since the granting of
his license he had removed, but both his residences were
in this district. The prisoner knew what he was to do, as
the terms were with the license.
Prisoner said he went to Brighton to work, and could
not get back in time to report himself. He then went to
work at Bow and Stratford, and was afraid to go near the
station. He had lost his license.
Mr. Humphreys said the prisoner must have known that
he was suspected about a month ago, and had since kept
out of the way.
Prisoner requested that inquiries should be made about
him at Brighton and Bow.
Mr. Selfe said he did know how true the story might be,
but he could make no inquiries. All he could do was to
commit the prisoner to Millhank to undergo the remainder
of his sentence, according to the act of parliament.

THE POLICE COURTS.

MANSION-HOUSE
Mr. William Elliott, of 15, Burr-street, East Smith-
field, the captain of a ship, was brought up in custody of
Police-constable Ellwood, 719, and charged before the
Lord Mayor with assaulting Mr. Henry Vane, at the Fen-
church-street Railway station.
Mr. Wontner, jun., appeared on behalf of the com-
plainant, who is a bill-broker, residing at No. 4, Great
Carter-lane, Doctors'-commons ; and from his waders* it
appeared that on the previous evening, about half-pest
8 o'clock, he was waiting with a lady to take the train at
the Fonchurch-street station. The door of the pay-office
was not open, and they were delayed scree time. While
they were so kept waiting the defendant, with three
or four other men, came up, accompanied by as many
females. The defendant and his companions began to romp
and "lark" with the females with them, and in the course of
three proceedings owe of the females was pushed back-
wards, and trod on a painful bunion on the complainant's
foot. Suffering from the extreme pain caused by the pres-
sure, the comp pushed the female forward, la order
to relieve himself, when the defendant came up to him
and said, " Are you not going to apologise for pushing the
lal?" The complainant replied that he thought the
apology ought to be made to him, • the torture to
which he had been subjected. No sooner had he said this
than one of the male companions called out, " If the
wants to fight, I am enough for him." The defendant
then rushed forward and struck the complainant a blow
under the chin, and then he was set upon by the
other men who formed the defendant's party and
beaten most severely. In the course of the malo're the
defendant aimed a blow at the face of the lady who was
with the complainant, but it was partially warded off by
a bystander, and took effect en the lady's hand or arm.
In vain the complainant essayed to get out into the street,
and it was not until his cries of police brought a con-
stable to his assistance that he was released from his
assailants. The defendant was then given into custody.
This evidence having been corroborated,
The Lord Mayor told the defendant that he bad been
guilty of a most brutal and unprovoked assault upon a
gentleman who was waiting peaceably to go by the train.
His conduct had been most disgraceful, and he almost
doubted whether he ought not to send him to prison. His
lordship then sentenced the defendant to pay a fine of Si.,
and in default to be imprisoned for one month. The fine
was immediately paid.

NORFOLK CIRCUIT.—Nownca, Auatrer 8.

The Lord Chief Baron arrived here on Monday and
opened the commission for the county of Norfolk and for
the county and city of Norwich. Yesterday his Lordship
charged the grand juries for the county and city, and at
eleven o'clock proceeded with the trial of prisoners at the
Castle, the Lord Chief Justice Erie presiding on the civil
side. The calendar for the county contains the names of
21 prisoners, of whom two are charged with
manslaughter, four with endeavouring to conceal the
birth of their illegitimate children, three with arson,
two with rape, two with btuglary, and the others with
minor offences. The cause list ts rather heavy, there being
21 causes entered for trial, 17 in the county and 4 in the
city, 10 of which are marked for special juries.
The cases tried yesterday were of the ordinary nature
and there was nothing galling for a retort.
CROWN COMM.—(More the Lord Chief Baron.)
William' Morley, driver, Richard Trete, fireman, and
Reuben Modwell, guard, were charged with stealing, and
Lorick Alleged Browne, publican, with receiving, four guns,
the property of the Great Eastern Railway Company.
Mr. Metcalfe and Mr. Sims Reeve appeared for the pro-
secution ; Morley was defended by Mr. Drake ; Trew and
Shadwell by Mr. Carlo. Cooper; and Browne by Mr. Mayd.
This was one of a series of roseoutions that have been
instituted by the Great Eastern Railway Company in con-
sequence of their having discovered that an extensive sys-
tem of robbery had been going on in Norwich and on the
company's lines in the neighbourhood. Most of the charges
have been disposed of at the borough sessions.
In consequence of an intimation from the learned judge,
Mr. Metcalfe withdrew from the prosecution as against
Morley, Trew, and Browne, and only proceeded with the
case against Shadwell, the guard ; but it may be men-
tioned that Browne was convicted on Monday last at the
adjourned sessions of receiving goods stolen by other ser-
vants of the company, and sentenced to five years' penal
servitude.

AWiiii;no of the name of Allen had given important
evidence before the magistrate, but sines the examination
he has absconded.

The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and he was sentenoi
to six months' imprisonment with hard labour.

TRIBE POLICT.

Referring to the speech of Lord Kimberley in the House
of Lords, the Herold cannot avoid expressing its surprise
that the Roman catholic portion of the community should
b, represented by their late Lord Lieutenant as traitors to
their heart's core who are reedy, notwithstanding their
remarkable progress in the acquisition of wealth, to join
in a rebellion, batched by Yankee emissaries, should they
only perceive the slightest chance of its swoon.
It is impossible to avoid remarking the exactitude with
which Lord Kimberley adopts the programme of the Irish
National Association—fixity of tenure first, and the
despoilment of the church after-end it cannot doubt
the source from which he drew his inspirations ; but
the Herold sincerely trusts that the conservative
government will not fall into the fatal error of
accepting the unfounded assertions of those who
are in some quarters supposed to represent the tenants of
Ireland as a true exposition of their real sentiments. The
law may require some amendments. Let the right of the
tenant to a due remuneration for the improvements made
with the consent of his landlord be established ; but this
can be easily and safely accomplished without having
recourse to what must be considered as nothing short of
social revolution.
The Daily New concludes an article on the same sub-
ject as follows :—The landowners of Ireland, like those
England, are the tenants of the state, which has both the
r:sht and the duty of looking to the conditions which
they impose on their tenants. Heretofore the landlords
have argued this question in parliament as if the law had
conferred on them the same absolute dominion over the
land in which they have estates as traders have over
their goods. They will have to surrender this fallacy.
The law has done much for them that was violent and
unjust ; for their sakes it has interfered with pre-existing
rights of property, and buttressed their monopoly by legis-
lation altogether exceptional ; but they still remain its
creatures. These are matters which we can calmly argue at
present. But if Lord Kiroberley's diagnosis of the Irish
diseire be exact we may not long be permitted to do so. Before
another opportunity of repairing past omissions returns
we may be engaged in suppressing • most formidable and
dangerous conspiracy, and it would not be pleasant—it
might not be safe—to discover, when blood had flowed,
that we had been fighting, not for the dignity of the crown,
but for certain theories of landlordism which are held
nowhere upon earth but in the United Kingdom.

Afilffita!Xs Visrr.—The Lords Commissioners
of the Admiralty arrived at the dockyard at half-past five ;
this afternoon from Sheerness, on board the paddle-wheel M
steam yacht Enchantress, Commander Petley, and their Si
lordships were received on disembarking at the jetty by a Si
royal salute from the Fisgard flag ship, but in consequence El
of the late hour of their arrival it was decided to defer 11.,
the usual annual inspection of the several departments. ;
The trip from Sheerness this afternoon was, it is stated,
taken chiefly for the purpose of testing the speed of a new
screw man-of-war, recently built at M' wall for the
Belgian government, as against the speed of the Enchan-
tress. This new vessel will have an armament of ruled
guns, with the improved slides and other arrangements, to
fire rapidly at all points, and in consequence of
many peculiarities in her construction she was
en especial object of interest to their lord-
ships. The result of the trial fully proved
the power of her screw machinery, as she ran far ahead of
the Enchantress, which is one of the fastest vessels in the
royal navy, and maintained the same rate of speed j
throughout the trip. The Megzera, steam troopship, is now s
in dry dock at this yard, for repairs, and her crew are
berthed on board one of the government hulks in the river.

ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON REGATTA.

The race for this day was a cutter race, open to
all cutters not less than 30 or more than 100 tons, belong.
ing to any Royal Yacht Club ; Queen's Course ; time rsee
on the Royal Yacht 'Squadron scale and Thames measure-
ment. First prize, 701. ; second M. • and third, 101.
The course was from the Castle eastward, round the
Warner Light, passing to the southward of the Brambles
(between the Shoal and Cowes), than round a flag-boat
moored to the westward of life-buoy back to the Castle,
passing between the flag-boat and Castle-ataff, keeping
outside all the buoys on the shoals (Peel included),
except the Middle and Sturbridge, leaving the Warner and
flag-boat off Lepe on the port-hand. The following were the
entries for this prize :

The race was appointed to commence at ten o'clock, but '
it wu not until half-put ten o'clock that the yachts were
got into their proper positions. This being a time race,
the Lulworth and Menai, being the largest vessels and each
of the same tonnage, give the Hirondelle 4 min. 2 sec.
The Hirondelle gives Vanguard 3 min. 7 see. ; the Van-
guard gives Christabel 4 min. 1 etc. ; and the Chriatabel
gives Rosebud 7 min. 16 sec.
The Viadez Fiona Arrow, Dime, and Niobe did not
appear at the starting-post.i
At 25 minutes put ten o'clock the preparatory gun was
fired, and in five minutes more it was followed by another
for starting. The wind was westerly, and the tide was
about one hour ebb. The long distance at which the
yachts were placed almost prevented their being prolorLy
seen the confusion being increased from the
number of yacht+ at their moorings intercepting—ire
view ; but the Vanguard was the first to show her bow-
sprit clear of the rest, the Hirondelle coming out second,
and the Menai, who was clothed with canvas almost in-
stantly, was the third, but very seriously threatening to
take shortly a more prominent position. Lulworth was
fourth, Rosebud fifth, and Christabel, who made a very
bed start, brought up the rear.
On being abut out at the Point, Vanguard was still the
leading vessel, Menai having taken the second place, Ltd-
worth had overhauled the llircmdelle, and Christabel con.
siderahly astern. On the way to the Warner, the Menai
overhauled the Vanguard, and took the first plus round-
ing the Warner first, the Vanguard second, the Lulworth
close astern, the Hiroo&lle fourth, and the Rosebud
almost out of the race. On the return from the Warner,
the time taken off Cow.. Castle was as ander :

This was an Lotion to recover compensation for injuries
sustained by the plaintiff by • that took place
at the New Cross station, on the 30th of March last. The
defendants admitted their liability, and the only question
was the amount of damages.
Serjeant Ballantine and Mr. Clark were for the plain-
tiff ; and the Hon. G. Denman and Mr. Hannen appeared
for the company.
The plaintiff in this case was • civil engineer, and
interested in a large wheel manufacturing establishment,
in which a great number of hands were employed. In
the collision he had received various severe injuries, among
which was an injury to the spine, which was represented
to be of s very serious character. Some medical testi-
mony was adduced on behalf of the defendants with •
view to show that no permanent injury had been sus-
tained, and that what the plaintiff was principally suffering
from was functional derangement, which would be re-
moved by rest and relaxation from business for a few
months.
The jury returned • verdict for the plaintiff, with
2,0001. damages.
It was stated that previous to the trial an offer had been
made on behalf of the plaintiff to accept 1,1001. as compen-
sation, but the company would not accede to the pro-
poaition.
(Before Mr. Baron ChannelL)
_ _. _

This morning was fixed for the trial of the boy James
Loaphstrst, for the murder of a little girl named Jane
Sax, under very extraordinary circumstances, at Sher*.
Mr. Ribton, who, with Mr. Oppenheim, was instructed
to defend the prisoner, however made an application to
postpone the trial, on the ground that the defence to the
charge would be insanity, and that the attorney for the
prisoner had not had sufficient tune to procure the attend.
anon of the witnesses whose evidence was necessary to
support that defence.
Serjeant Robinson, who was instructed with Mr. Straight
to conduct the prosecution, said be did not feel himself
called upon to oppose the application, but should leave
the matter in the hands of the court.
The learned Judge havinperused two affidavits that
were handed to him, made the attorney for the pri-
soner and the prisoner's mother, said he thought that,
under all the circumstances, he should be justified in

SESSIONAL ORDERS.

Sir G. GREY moved the ueu►l seseional orders.
Si, O. O'LOGHLEN suggested that the time had come
when the days of the week !should appear upon the votes in I,
English instead of Latin. (A laugh.) It was a matter of '
no great gravity or importance, but it was very absurd that
while the day to which the house adjourned and the days
oa the notices appeared in English, the Latin names were
continued on the votes. He did not see the advantage of
retaining this relict of the olden time. He was perfectly
aware that it was is the power of the Speaker, without any
order of the house, to make the order.
Mr. WALPOLE did not think there could be the least
objection to the alteration suggested.
The SPEAKER said that in early days the veto' were
printed solely for the use of members, but now they were
published for general circulation, and the information of
the public, and perhaps the use of one language would be
more desirable. With the concurrence of the house, there-
fore, he should give directions accordingly. (Hear, hear.)
The sessional orders were then agreed to.

FATAL ACCIDENT TO A SOLDIER.

INQUEST.—(THIS DAY.)
This morning Mr. Humphreys, coroner, held an
inquiry at the Lamb Tavern, Dorset-Argot, Commereial-
road, relative to the death of an artilleryman, named
Thomas Benninghare, aged 20 years.
It appeared from the evidence that the deceased was a
soldier of the A battery, Royal Artillery, stationed at
Woolwich ; and having, on the 2nd ult., got leave of ab-
sence, he went with a comrade named William M'Clean on
board a barge to get into a steamer near London-bridge.
Oes of his spurs caught in a plank on board the barge, sod
he was thrown headlong into the river. AU efforts to save
him proved unavailing, and his body only came to the sur-
face on Monday last.
Dr. John Brown Ross said that there were two severe
wounds on the deceased's temples. The skull was fractured,
and no doubt he must have been killed almost immediately.
The injuries might have been occasioned by his striking the
side of the steamer with his head when his spars tripped
him up and sent him into the river.
The Coroner having summed up, the jury returned a
verdict of "Accidental Death."

address of the Senate says :—" Your Majesty in-
' forms us that the memorable expedition to Mexico
approaches its termination. This is announcing
to satisfied France that the protection of
her commercial interests is assured in a
vast and wealthy market now restored to security.
As regards the United States, if, from misconcep-
tion, the presence of the French flag in America
appears to them lees opportune than at a previous
and most illustrious period of their history, the
firm tone of the communications made by your
Majesty's government has demonstrated that
haughty and menacing language will not decide us
to withdraw. France is accustomed to move only
at her own time ; but she nevertheless whales to
remember the ancient friendship between herself
and the United States. What your Majesty asks
of the United States is neutrality and observance
of international law."

PORTSMOUTH, JCYE 6.

The court-martial which assembled on board'the Victory
yesterday, for the trial of Lieutenant Edward Frederick
Keppel, of H.M.S. Pearl, brought its proceedings to a
claw in the evening. The prisoner was charged with
having, on the 27th of May, been drunk, and with having
attempted to leave the ship without the permission of
Captain Ross. His reply to the first charge was a distinct
denial, and with respect to the second he pleaded that it
was committed in consequence of an error of judgment,
which he extremely regretted. The prisoner also urged
the consideration of his previous services, but was
unable to produce his certificates, because they were
lost in the destruction of the Bombay, which
ship the prisoner was one of the last to leave,
and only escaped at the last moment by jumping
into the sea. Several witnesses were called in Lieutenant
Keppers behalf, and they all expressed an opinion that on
the night in question he was sober. The court, however,
found both charges fully proved, and the prisoner was
sentenced to he dismissed her Majesty's service. The
court then proceeded to try Mr. J. P. Snell, who was
charged with being drunk on board the Pearl on the same
occasion. It appears that when Lieutenant Keppel
told Captain Ross that the master, Mr. Snell, hail
given bin, permission to go on shore, the captain sent
I for the master, and inquired what right he had to give
such permission when he (the captain) was on board the
ship. The replies made were so extraordinary that Cap-
tain Ross called witnesses to note the prisoner a condition,
and he was pronounced to be not sober. The prisoner
pleaded guilty and produced certificates of character, in
1 consideration of which be was only sentenced to Le dis-
missed his ship and placed at the bottom of the list of
masters.
