SCENES 114 A CHUN:H.—The district church of
All Saints, Newington, has been the scene of some un-
seemly proceethngs. At the Lambeth lice-oourt on
Saturday Mrs. Ditch, the keeper of a ' boarding-school, her
servant, and nephew, were charged with trawling i the
church. For come months Mrs. Ditch and the children
under her charge bad been in the habit of occupying a
certain pew in front of the pulpit. The incumbent, the
Rev. Mr. Mitchell, after infamung Mrs. Ditch that the
conduct of her scholars during .ervioe invariably dis-
tracted his attention from his duties, gave an order that
they should be removed to a pew in one of the side aisles. COAL MARKET.—(THIS DAY.

ELECTORAL REFOEN.

The Poet says that the dropped mant'e of Palmerston
hen not as vet been taken no by anyone. The pare whiggism
of the Premier is not the English liberality of his prede-
cessor. A reform bill is of coarse the great rook ahead,
noboly knowing w.lat t do. The Tidied' almost ostenta-
family proclaim their radians to accept any sort of bill
so long as it is a step in advance ; but no sooner are things
looking smoothly on that side, than new dangers spring up
on the other, and the very opposition which once taunted
the liberals with doing too much will be found crying out
that now they are not doing enough.
The Herald gives credit to the report that the ministerial
Reform Bill will deal with suffrage extension only, and insists
that the information Ministers have obtained as to the
number of householders likely to be placed on the register
by a 61. franchise proves that that would be the very next
thing to manhood suffrage—indeed, would be manhood suf-
frage in disguise.

HUNTINGDONSMEI.

At the Huntingdonshire quarter sessions, held at
Hnntiogdon, on Monday, the following resolutions were
carried—proposed by Mr. Fellows*, M.P. ; seconded by the
Duke of Manchester—" That this court, by virtue of an
increase of the powers given to theca by an order of her
fdajesty's most Hon. Privy Council, dated the 16th day of
December, 1865, do hereby declare and order accordingly
that all fairs and markets for the sale of cattle, sheep, and
pigs be stopped, and the removal of any stock over or along
any highway from the premises of the owner, or from any
place whatever when they must previously have been for
twenty-one days, be only sanctioned under a certificate from
a magistrate and inspector specially appointed for that pur-
pose ; and that the carriage of any manure, hay, or straw,
or infected matter to, or removal from any such premises or
place aforesaid without such sanction as aforesaid, be pro-
hibited." On tbemotion of Mr. A. Sperling,of
the following resolution was carried, as it appeared that some
farmers, after being convicted and fined for moving cattle,
had boasted of the amount they had gained notwithstand-
ing the fine:—" That io the opinion of this court the pe-
nalty not exceeding 201. should be on each animal instead
of (as under existing orders) on each offence." The sessions
also carried the following resolutions to be forwarded to
the Privy Council:—" That it is the opinion of this court
that the importation of foreign cattle should only be per-
mitted atcertain specified porta, and that they should be
slaughtered at depots to be formed at such porta, and that
no hides or other offal be allowed to be taken from such
depots without having been disinfected to the satisfaction
of the inspectors. That it is the opinion of this court that
the local inspectors should not be at liberty to go upon
any farm without the consent of the occupier, unless au-
thorised by a magistrate of the district. That it is
the °pinkie of this court that the necessary orders
on this subject should be issued by the govern.
ment, and that the local authorities should enforce them
so that the practice may be uniform throughout the
country. That the chairman do forward a copy of these
reeolutiona to the Lords of her Majesty's Most Hon. Privy
Council. The cattle plague, it appears, is still raging in this
county, and has now reached the borough of Huntingdon.
If it makes much more advance the present rules of ttbe
County Cattle Insurance Society will not be sufficient to
meet the numerous claims.

The calendar contains the names of sixty-seven prisoners
for trial--sixty for felony, and seven for misdemeanour.
The usual proclamation having been read by the Clerk of
the Pesos,
The Chairman said he was sorry he could not congratu-
late the grand jury on the lightness of the calendar. There
were 67 persona for trial, and most likely before they had
performed their duties there would be 10 more, making
altogether 77 perems, against 58 last year at this time. The
last two or three session; he regretted, showed a great in-
crease of crime in the county, but in the middle of the
year there was a decrease. In fact, looking all through the
year, there was a damage of criminals at these sessions.
The total number of prisoners last year was 641, whereas
in 1864 there were 659. The number of prissier. in gaol
last year was 4,127 spinet 4,493 in 1864. Male prisoners,
juveniles, 774 against 657, which latter much surprised
him, as so many had been sent to reformatories The
offences, however, were of a trivial nature as compared
with those in 1864. In the common gaol there were last
year 1,188 against 1,227 in 1864. is the House of Cos-
Tootles, 8,089 against 6,187. He had also the satidaction
to state that in the whole of the kingdom of Great
Britain crime had much decreased. He had the returns
up to Michaelmas, 1864, which show the number of pri-
soners to be 19,506, against 20,918 in 1863. He also was
pleased to say that immorality and vine of all
kinds had not shown themeless to that extent
they had in former years, especially when they con-
sidered the great increase of the population in and about
this extensive metropolis. The late acts of perliszsent had
acted beneficially in suppressing crime. The Penal Servi-
tude Act, for instates, was giving satisfaction, although he
was sorry to say that thirtyeix ticket-of-leave men were
tried at these sessions during last year. The other act for
the regulation of gaols was also acting well, and the magis-
trates were enabled to look more carefully int* the act and
regulations of the gaol, so that proper hard labour shall be
enforced under a penalty to be enforced by the Lords of the
Treasury. The learned chairman then addressed the grand
jury as to the nature of their duties, and dismissed them to
their room.

THE MEMORIAL.

To the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty.—May it please
your Majesty,—We, whose names are hereunto appended,
Evangelical missimaries of the Wesleyan Methodist and
Baptist Missionary Societies in England, and of the trailed
Presbyterian Church of Scotland respectively, and labour-
ing in the parish of St. James, in your Majesty's island of
Jamaica, beg leave to approach your Majesty with an un-
feigned expression of our attachment to your Majesty's
person and throne, and of our gratitude for the blessings
which, in common with our fellow-snbjecte, we enjoy under
your Majesty's benignant reign.
We deeply lament the lawless and ferocious outbreak
which, as your Majesty most have been grieved to learn,
took place in one of the eastern districts of this island in
the month of October last, and we readily acquiesce in the
righteous ooudemaation and punishment of all who were
wickedly concerned in it. Your Majesty, however, will
peimitus also to remark that we have been exceedingly
pained by the rumoured cruel and barbarous proceedings
of some at least of those who were engaged in the sup-
pression of the riot, and especially by the reckless and
terrible destruction of life and property which, as it is
asserted, has been perpetrated on the sad occasion. We
know not how far these reports are worthy of credence ;
bat in order that the truth may be discovered, and that
for the satisfaction of the public mind, and the safety of the
public interests, the causes and consequences of the out-
break may be truly and accurately discovered, we wow
venture to implore that your Majesty may be graciously
pleased to direct a full and impartial investigation by a
special commission from England to be made into the whole
matter, and also into the reasons for the astounding
allegation that seditious and murderous designs are eaten,
tailed by the black population in general, and that a
mighty danger thus threatens the land.
We most isemtfully prefer this request to your Majesty
because we have no hope of the desired information being
otherwise procured, sad because we fed we should be want-
log in duty to your Majesty, to ourselves, and to our
fellow-countrymen, as well as to the religious bodies In
England and Scotland which we represent, and other
philanthropic friends of the emancipated negroes in
this and other portions of your Majesty's dominion, wet,
we not humbly but earnestly to supplicate for as autbori-
tative inquiry into an event which is unmediated in the
history of the colony, which very seriously affects the
iekswd at large, and from which we are pomaded. if your
' Majesty shall grant our petitioa, most impartial sod 'ski.

PARIS, JAN. 2.

At the reception of the diplomatic body by the
Emperor yesterday, the Papal Nuncio presented the
compliments of his colleagues to his Majesty. The
Emperor replied as follows :—" Every year at this
period we make a retrospect of the past and look
towards the future. We shall be happy if we can,
as at present, congratulate ourselves upon having
avoided dangers, removed apprehensions, and
strengthened the bonds which unite nations and
Kings. Happy above all if the experience of
accomplished events enables us to augur a long
day of peace and prosperity for the world." The
Emperor, in conclusion, thanked the diplomatic
body for their good wishes and congratulations.

THE POLICE COURTS.

WORSHIP-STREET.

Joseph Bill, of very gentlemanly exterior. and with a
profusion of beard, described as living at 4, Upper Chad-
well.street, Clerkenwell, "gentleman,'' was charged with
assaulting Thomas Grey, a cab driver, 16022, and also
damaging his cab.
Complainant stated that at nine o'clock on the previous
night he took the defendant up in Whitechapel —two gentle-
men who mentioned him as their friend, giving the address
referred to above, with the exception of Islington instead
of Clerkenwell. Defendant was intoxicated, and witness
objected to take him ; but on the others assuring him
that it was " all right," and that they would pay if any-
thing west wrong, he consented to take him. On
arriving in Church-street, Shoreditch, however—that
being the road to Islington—the gentleman called out to
stop the cab. It was done. He alighted and ran off.
Witness pursued, but lost sight of him, and was then told
that his fare had hidden himself in a yard. There he was
found, and when asked for the 25., which would be the
lawful demand for the whole distance, he replied, " That
be —. rn pay you! I'll knock your eye out." He then
tried to escape, and when prevented struck complainant
so violent a blow on the head with his list that he fell to
the ground, injured in the arm and knee. Hie hat also
was broken. _ _

A WiLOC4II named John Atkiu folly corroborated he
mama.

The gentlemen, in reply to the charge, declued that he
had no intention to bilk the fare ; moteover, that he was
first struck.

Mr. Cooke remarked that it was most disgraceful con-
duct for any person representing himself respectable to be
guilty of. and inflicted a fine of 205., with lb. costs.

The defendant paid the money.
Ellen Birch, a matronly woman, of respectable appear-
ance, was charged with assaulting and wounding Thomas
Birch, her husband, in business as • walking stick maker and
dresser, of 43. Red Lion-street,
. .

The Complainant, who had e.wouna on his chin, said—
Shcrtly after 12 o'clock last night, while at home keeping
up the merry new year, something occurred that occasioned
words between cis. Blows followed, and—

Mr. Stafford (clerk)— Did Ton strike her first'
Complainant—Well, I behove that I did, but it was in
the dark.
Mr. Cooks—How was that wound caused?
Complainant—l don't wish to press the charge, sir. It
is merily a scratch. . .. . . . .

Defomidant—You have brought me here only from fear
that I should do the same to you for knocking and kicking
me about.

Mr. Cooke—lt's impossible to make any clear case out
of this evidence. It is clear that your husband is desirous
of shielding you, and I should think that he must have had
considerable provocation before be could be induced to place
his wife in a dock on such a charge. I shall, however, allow
it to be dismissed.

SIM CHARITTIS OP Lozmox.

The Daily News observes that owing to the
liberality of the merchants of London it is possible there
will be no neosesity to call upon the trustees of the City
charities to contribute towards the establishment of the
new middle-class school proposed by the Rev. W. Rogan,
For many reasons the Daily New would prefer the
trustees to be called upon, for they would then
be compelled to confess themselves in possession of
their surplus funds, and to set forth the ramose why
they decline to make use of them in the way suggested.
And if parliament is asked to interfere in the matter
the discussion will do much towards elucidating the
'object. The public are profoundly ignorant as the subject
of the public charities. They have no suspicion that in the
majority of cams the changes which have occurred have
made the will of a founder practically a dead letter, and do
not even guess at the portentous increase in the value of
the property devoted .to charity. U any one takes the
trouble to compare the sums voted by parliament for
education each year with the sums already devoted by dead
founders to the same purpose, he will soon convince him-
self that the parliamentary grant towards education is •
needless extravagance. Let anyone compare the number
of persons educated for every 1001. of charity money with
the number educated for the same sum derived from other
sources, and be will at once acknowledge the neon-
sity of reform. The ewe of Sir John Casa's
school, founded in 1709, with an income then of 5101.,
one in point. The trade's at present have a ample' in-
come, after defraying extravagant expenses, of 2,7831.; why
should not parliament direct the trustees to use the surplus
fund, for the establishment of a middle class school in the
City? There would be no difficulty in borrowing 50,0,J01.
at 51. per cent. This would amount to 2,5001. a year, which
might of course be amply steered on the estate of Sir John
Cass. If one single charity might be made to yield such •
result, what might not be made out of the charities of Lon-
don ? Fortunately, the sum originally proposed by Mr.
Rogers to Le raised, has been doubled, and therefore there
is ground for believing that the trustees of these charities
may yet be called upon.

THE FRENCH VIEW OF THE AUSTRO-
PRUSSIAN DISPUTE.

The Prase of to-day says that M. Benedetti, the
Ambassador of France in Berlin, had an interview
with the King of ramais, and made the following
representation :
" France considers the maintenance of peace to
be a neomaity for Europe. It is contrary to her
desires that creations which may be resolved by
diplomacy should, under any pretext, be decided by
armies. The latter mode of action would injure
the interests of all the fixates of Europe. If, in
spite of all warnings, war should break out,
France certainly will not be on the side of that
power which shall have discarded negotiations."

rial government has provided for all contingencies,

RETURN OF MUNICIPAL BOROUGHS.

Mr. NEVILLE-GRENVILLE wished to ask the Secre-
tary of State for the Home Department why the towns of
Weston-super-Blare, Shepton Mallet, Wellington, and
Chard, oounty of Somerset, which had more than 5,000
inhAbitants, bad been omitted from the " Return of the
names of municipal boroughs, &c., of 5,000 inhabitants and
upwards, and which were not now represented in parlia-
ronnt."
Sir G. GREY replied that the returns were made out by
the Registrar-General, who informed him the reason why
these boroughs were not included was, that the borough of
Weston-super-Mare had no defined boundaries, and by the
last census contained only 2,000 inhabitants ; that Shep-
ton Mallet had 4,BrA ; Wellington, 3,689 ; and Chard,
2,276 inhabitants ' each of these boroughs, therefore, had a
population less than 5,000.
Mr. NEVILLE-GRENVILLE said that the figures of
the right hon. gentleman differed very much from those
which he had received.
Sir G. GREY said they were not his figures, but those
taken at the last census.

soner at Tullamore last year, was unable to read the sen-
tence, although it was written for him in large hand-
writing, and that his lordship required and had the assist-

THE POLICE COURTS.

WORSHIP-STREET.

John Doyle, 23, :riiiii--:tianiaiiofqieTOwer Hamlets, and
William King, a labourer, 20, were charged with drunken
and disorderly conduct, in the King's Arms public-house,
Whitechapel-road, and also with assaulting Police-constable
DilL, 12811, in the execution of his duty, on the previous
night.
The evidence showed that both men were in the house
named, and in such a state of intoxication that Hr. Stubbs,
the landlord, after their refusal to leave, was compelled to
call in the assistance of the police. Immediately Doyle
saw the constable be took off his uniform belt and eom-
menced an attack upon him with it. Another constable '
entered, and was with difficulty enabled to prevent serious re-
cults, as the prisoner King kicked him violently about the
legs. At length the belt was taken from Doyle, and the
landlord, who had witnessed the savage nature of the
assault, resolved on charging both men, with the view of
supporting the police in their testimony.
The constables, now questioned by the magistrate, said
that they were not much hurt ; but
Mr. Ellison remarked that, notwithstanding this, he
should send Doyle to prison for one month with hard
labour, and without the opportunity of paying a fine, to
mark his sense of the abuse of the belt. King would be
fined 20a., or in default be imprisoned for 14 days.
Both men were locked up.
