CATTLE PLAGUE COMPENSATIONS.

Mr. READ asked the Secretary to the Treasury, to
whom the owners of cattle slaughtered by inspectors from
August to November, 180, were to apply for compensa-
tion, and through what channel such compensation would
be paid.
Mr. HUNT said they must send in their claims to the
clerk of the local authorities, who would forward them
to the Privy Council. When they had been duly verified
they would be sent to the Treasury, and payment would
be made by the Postmaster•Cenenl.

Mr. READ—Who would verify the claims—the local
authorities or the Privy Council ?
Mr. RUNT—Roth.
Mr. REBOW observed that the answer of the hon. gen-
tleman was the exact contrary of what had been stated by
Mr. Corry. That right hon. gentleman had said that the
claims moat go to the clerk of the peace of the county.

Mr. HUNT—There is no contradiction ; for the clerk of
the peace is generally the clerk to the local authorities.

borough in England and Wales, showing the name of
borough, the number of male occupiers below 10/. rental,
the number of male occupiers at 30/. rental and upwards,

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—AII the in-
formation which the right bon. gentleman wialies is really

right hon. gentleman will look at the return of Mr. Baines
(No. 81 of last year) and at that of Mr. Horsfall (No. CA,
he will find all the information that he requires. At the
same time, if it would be for the convenience of the house
or of the right hon. gentleman that it should be produced
in a tabular form, we shall be happy to give it him ; but I
can assure him that the clerks at the Poor-law office are
already overworked.

THE POLICE COURTS.

MANSION-HOUSE.

Jaws Mont, a staTwartill.lOCkinifellow, was brought
op on remand before Mr. Alderman Wilson, and charged
with a violent robbery on Mr. Summers, and stealing from
his person a purse containing in gold and silver coin about
Buren shillings.
The facts were shortly these. The prosecutor, a respect-
able master shoemaker residing in South Hackney, on
the afternoon of Tuesday week went with a friend named
Smith into • public-house known as the Czar's Head, in
Great Tower-street, to partake of sonic refreshments.
There they found the prisoner and some companions, who
appealed to the prosecutor and his friend for assistance, as
key were " very hard up," and the appeal was answered
by a supply by the prosecutor of bread and cheese and beer
to the prisoner and his confederates. Theyleft the house,
whenithe prisoner followed, deliberately knocked down
the prosecutor, and then was seen to ride his pockets of
the puns and money mentioned.
The evidence was not only corroborated by Mr. Smith,
but also by Mr. Toy, • master mariner, who had withered
the whole transaction, and
. .

Mr. Alderman Wilexifully committed the prisoner for
trial at the next session of the Central Criminal Court.

James Dennis, a middle-aged man, was brought np in
custody by Detective-officer Charles Brown, charged with
felony, under somewhat peculiar and singular circum-
stances.

The evidence disclosed that the prisoner had been for
upwards of 24 years in the service, as carman, of Mr. Gill,
a malhine ruler, carrying on business in Huggin-alley,
Ilisholn¢ate•street, and that his master jointly occupied
stable with the prosecutor, Mr. Laybourn, an ironmonger,
who kept three horses in the stable. The deterioration in
the appearance of Mr. Laybourn's horses led to a
watch, and it was found that the prisoner, who was weekly
supplied with money to pay for and procure the necessary
provender for the horses, appropriated the money so sup-
plied to himself, and found the supply of the provender
from the stores of Mr. Laybourn. A watch was set, and
the prisoner was discovered in the fact, and given into
custody.
Mr. Alderman Wilson said he should not deal with the
case, which he considered one of a serious character, but
remand the prisoner until Friday.

CATION.

Mr. EWART moved for leave to bring in a bill to open
the benefits of eduction in the Universities of Oxford and
Cambridge to students, without obliging them to be mem-
bers of a college or hall in those universities. The hon.
gentleman said the house was aware that in former time*
persona were allowed to live at the universities without
belonging to any college ; and it was stated that there
were over :10,000 students at Oxford, and as many at
Paris. Afterwards colleges and halls had begun to be
founded. Thus the famous college of the Sorbonne, which
still survived, was established at Paris, and numerous col-
leges were founded at Oxford and Cambridge. Their in-
tention was to cheapen education, but they had bad exactly
the opposite result. In Germany, Italy, France, Oxford,
and Ireland, however, free access was still allowed to the
universities, and the ancient system thus maintained was
found to work extremely well. At Aberdeen the average
cost of the five months' course was 2.1/. ; and many of the
students were obliged to work on farms during the vaca-
tion. Those who had held the plough and reaped the har-
vest had proved to be amongst the best students that had
ever gone to a university. The measure which he pro-
posed was a strictly conservative one, and it would greatly
promote the lasting interests of the universities. (Hear.)
Mr. 11. HOPE did not intend at this stage to °1
the bill, but he protested against the seal which 1::
gentlemen opposite showed for reforming the English uni-
versities. lie believed that the universities knew far bet-
ter what measures were necessary for them than the hon.
gentleman could do. He did not dispute the hon. gentle-
man's archeology, or deny that the university system in
the middle ages might have been as described in the
verses—

Chronic& at pease*. dam puguant
Post pumas [onuses At turbo per Anglicenses.
From which it would appear that the Oxford students
were in old times very like the gentlemen who now met
on Saturday afternoons in Trafalgar•square. (Laughter.)
It was certain that the universities had great self-recupe-
rative powers ; and that under the acts passed ten or
twelve years ago those powers had been greatly exerted.
Both universities had power to admit extern►l students,
and at Oxfords scheme was actually under consideration for
that verypurpose ; but the plan that might succeed verywell
at Oxford would not be the best for Cambridge. He should
very muck like to see the bill of the hon. gentleman. He
truated that it would prove nugatory, and that it would
be more than nugatory he could not for an instant be-
lieve. (Hear, bear.)
Sir W. HEATHCOTE would also like to see the bill.
It wu quite true that at Oxford a scheme was under con-
sideration for doing exactly what it purported to effect.
Colonel SYKES complained that the consolidation of
the Universities of Aberdeen. and the consequent diminu-
tion in the number of burruies, had reduced the clams of
poor students.
Leave was then given to bring in the bill.

pany are to hare uninterrupted memos to Lancashire,

FIRE AT THE GRESHAM CLLR.—(THIS DAY.)`
About half-pest :1 o'clock this morning, a City police-

of the large coffee and dining-room on the ground-floor.
In the course of a few minutes the Royal Society's escapee
and numerous engines of the Metropolitan Brigade ar-
rived, and the firemen succeeded in getting the flames ex-
tinguished, but not until some damage was done to the
premises and their contents.
THE CATTLE PLAI; l'E. —An isolated case of cattle
plague has occurred in Cumberland. On Mural ,y Mr.
Coats, veterinary surgeon, of Brampton, one of the go-
vernment cattle plague inspectors, was celled upon to see
a cow which was ailing at Mr. T. Atkinson'e, of Wall Dub,
in the parish of Rurtbolme, Lanercost. To his surprise be
found that the animal was suffering from cattle plague.
Having had much experience with the disease when the
plague prevailed in Cumberland last year, Mr. Coats at
once detected the dreaded symptoms, and satisfied himself
that the case was one of rinderpest, and he forthwith
ordered the cow to be destroyed. The owner only keeps
one cow. He bought the condemned beast of a dealer at
Carlisle in February.

FIRE.

Mr. M'LAGAN, in moving for a select committee to
inquire into the existing legislative provisions for the pro-
tection of life and property from fire, said that the three
points to which he would more particularly drAw the
attention of the house were, first, the necessity for the
more efficient supervision of the construction of buildings;
secondly, the means which ought to be adopted for the
extinguishing of fires, such as the establishment of effi-
cient fire brigades ; and thirdly the expediency of having
a thorough investigation into all fires. A great many fires
which broke out were attributable to carelessness, and a
proper inquiry into them would be most beneficial. In
many towns in America such investigations had proved
moat useful, not only in checking incendiarism, but in
making people more careful. He thought it strange that
while such investigations were made in Russia, Prussia,
Poland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Hamburg, Bremen,
leo., in Eng Land alone they were not considered necessary.
Mr. KINNAIRI), in seconding the motion, said that
inasmuch as he understood that no opposition was to be
offered to the appointment of the committee, it was not
necessary for him to trouble the house further than to say
that inquiri.s such as suggested, would prevent the spread
of incendiarism, because at present fire insurance offices
were put to such expense in conducting investigations in
disputed cases, that rather than enter upon them they pre-
ferred to pay the claims.
The motion was agreed to.

The other motion; on the paper having been postponed,
The Dublin University Professorships Bill was con-
sidered as amended.

The Consolidated Fund (369,1181. se. 6d.) Bill waa read
a third time and passed.

The house adjourned at twenty-fire minutes before

Count Andrassy, who, with the Taveniicus, was
deputed to present to the Emperor the address of
the Hungarian Diet with reference to the Imperial
patent upon the reorganization of the army, left

nicus was prevented by indisposition from accom-
panying Count Andraasy, but will probably leave

trary, the programme of the government aims at
close union with Prussia, constitutional alliance
with the other German States,with full reservation
of the sovereign rights of Bavaria and the creation
of a strength that shall command respect by means
of reforms in the army, and the development of the

THE MANSION-HOUSE METROPOLITAN
DISTRESS FUND.

The committee met again yesterday in the Long
Parlour at the Mansion-house, under the presidency of
the Lord Mayor. The other members present were Alder-
man Salomons, M.P., Alderman Finnic, Alderman and
Sheriff Waterlow, Mr. Alfred de Rothschild, Captain
Goschen, Mr. Cazenove, the Rev. Mr. Rowsell, Mr. G.
Moore, Colonel Stuart Wortley, Messrs. Leaf, Gray, and
Hall, the Rev. Mr. Rogers, Messrs. Maxwell, Wade,
Wigrarn, and Thompson, C. T. Gabriel, and Holmes. The
Lord Mayor took occasion to observe that on the previous
day the committee had disbursed over 1,600/. to applicants
from the different districts, which only left a balance of
1,700/. at the banker's, awl unless the public generously
placed more funds at their disposal, it would be necessary
that they should husband their resources, in order that
they might be enabled to do justice to all the applies-
floes that were made to the committee for assistance.
Deputations attended yesterday from the ham-
let of Mile-end New Town, Cambridge.heath,
Lambeth, Stratford, Shoreditch, and Heaton. The
Rev. Mr. Murphy, who has taken a good deal
of interest in the condition of the working men for one
district of the large parish of Lambeth, attended on
behalf of several working men, who accompanied him,
many of whom, it was stated, had been employed at the
ironworks of the Messrs. Mandalay in the Westminster
road, to ask for assistance. The committee, however, after
a full and careful consideration of the matter, came to the
decision that the application was one that did not come
within the scope of the fund, and they therefore declined
to accede to it. The committee subsequently made a grint
of 1001. to the hamlet of Mile-end New Town, one of 2V.
to Cambridge-heath (a small district), LW. to the Holy
Trinity district of the parish of Lambeth, and NM. to one
of the districts of Hostas, where there are, it appears.
a great number of Irish, mostly Routes catholic*, out of
employment. The whole amount granted during the
sittingwas 275/. It is satisfactory to find that the bene-
volent efforts of the committee are most kindly aided by
the public, awl subscriptions continue to flow in during
the whole period of business at the Mansion-house. The
amount received esterday alone was about SOO/. The
committee, at their rising, adjourned until Monday.

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, JAN. ZS.

The ministry appear to intend indirectly recom-
mending government candidates to the electors to
the German parliament, since they have communi-
cated in the official papers, through the chief pro-
vincial functionaries, the names of such persons as
are known to be friendly to the policy of the go-
',eminent. Count Bismarck has finally declined to
become a candidate fur election to the Fella-
ment, stating as his reason the increased amount of
business requiring his attention, and also his
suffering health.
To-day, in the Chamber of Deputies, Herr Wall-
goraki put a question to the government relative
to the difficulties with which the traffic across the
Russo Prussian frontiers is surrounded.

Count Bismarck replied that the government
could not conceal from itself the unsatisfactory
condition of the frontier traffic, and laboured un-
ceasingly to effect ita improvement. Russia had
not, up to the present, violated the international
treaties on this subject.
It is announced that a further improvement
has taken place to-day in the state of the King's
health.

THE WEEKLY PRESS.

The answer of the Examiner to every claim
for further delay of reform is brief and plain. Vague
words put into the mouth of the Queen will not answer
now : it is too late. If ministers are not prepared to face
the question and to deal with it without further delay,
they will have forfeited all equitable right to he beard or
heeded ; and parliament, in defence of its own dignity and
honour, must refuse to allow them to trifle with a posi-
tion which they will have shown themselves unable to
comprehend. If they are incapable they must go ; but
parliament will remain, for it is a great and governing
institution, not a mere temporary and tolerated cabal.
Parliament cannot afford to wait until the manes are
wot•ilised before it proceeds to mete out justice between
man and man.

"Great cry and little wool" is the reflection suggested to
the Examiner by the reforms which the Monde''r officially
proclaim►. Questions haring been once allowed with the
concession that ministers take part in the debates, the

for the purpose of preventing the mud in the water of the

as would ensure the sewers from being injured. The

THE POLICE COURTS

BLLNSION.HOUSE.

William °ales, a genteel looking lad, 14 years .>l.l. was
brought before Alderman Beeley who sat for the Lord
Mayor, upon a cbarge of robbing his employer, Mr. Gam-
men, a solicitor, practising in Clock-lane, and the deputy
for the ward. _ _

It appeared that the prisoner had been for three
months employed by Deputy Gammen as othce•boy, and in
consequence of some suspicions that were entertained of
his honesty, four sovereigns were placed in an envelope
and put into the iron safe. On the Monday following
the money was gone, but the empty envelope was
left behind. The envelope was left, and the safe
was locked, and on the following morning the envelope
also was gone. The prisoner was subsequently called
into Mr. Gammen.' office, and that gentleman put some
questions to bins relating to the missing money, and he
at first denied having taken it. He subsequently, how-
ever, admitted that he had taken the four sovereign', and
said that he bad put them into his purse, and that be was
robbed as he was going along the street. He afterwards
altered his story, and said that he bad put the money
loose in his pocket, with his handkerchief, and that he
had lost it. There was this great aggravation in the con-
duct of the prisoner, that he appeared to have placed the
empty envelope in the desk of one of the other clerks
evidently with the object of casting suspicion upon this
clerk as having been the person who committed the
robbeThery.
prisoner was remanded.
GUILDFIALL.

Ilfr. Glit,rwlein, of St. Mark's- gardens, Notting-hill,
was summoned before Sir Benjamin S. Phillips and Alder-
man Copeland, for smoking in one of the carriages on the
Metropolitan Railway after be bad been requested to
desist.

Mr. Louis Lewis, of Elyplace, appeared for the de-
fendant, and Inspector Crab watched the case on behalf of
the company.
Mr. Russell Scott said he lived at 10, Colwell-terrace,
Regent's-park. On Tuesday, the 15th inst., between three
and four o'clock in the afternoon, he was on the platform
in Moorgateetreet, and he observed the defendant smoking
in a first class carriage near the door, and he told him he
must not do so. He replied there were other caeriages for
witness, and he might go elsewhere. He told defendant
that was not his object, but that he must not smoke in a
railway carriage. M itness then called a railway porter, and
he gave his address, and a summons was taken out against
him. He believed that when he went to the carriage door the
defendant did say to him, "Do you object t, smoking"'
or something to that effect. The defendant left the car-
riage he was in when witness spoke to him and went to
one higher up in the train, but he followed him. He did
not recollect saying to the inspector, " Who is this Juan?
Give me your card." He was all but certain he did not
my so. The defendant said, "I am known to Inspector
Adams, and he will tell you who I am." Witness called
Inspector Adams and witness gave his card. He (witness)
was not inconvenienced by the smoke. He did not see

and she would point to herself. In July witness took her
to consult Dr. Robert Lee. It was Dr. Lee's opinion that
her malady arose from • functional disarrangement, and
that if • favourable offer of marriage were made her it
should not be despised. That opinion WAS communicated
to her through witness's wife. Witness did not treat her
at all—she was at his house as a friend. She did not go
to Dr. Baker Brown's by witness's advice. Did not know
that she went there to have the clitoridectomate opera-
tion performed upon her. Knew that that operation of
Dr. Baker Brown was making a great stir in the medical
world. _ _

B 7 the :fudge—The marriage took place just at the
close of one of her periodical attacks of nymphomania.
Latterly she bad been more unreasonable while subject
to these attacks.

By Dr. Spinks—During one of these attacks, witness
did not think she could write a rational letter.
The court then adjourned.
