THE POLICE COURTS.

GUILDHALL.

Mr. Watley, bookseller, of Paternoster•row, wee sum•
mooed by the directors of the Eastern Counties Railway for
having sent a quantity of lucifer matches in a parcel, to be
conveyed by the above railway, without specifying the
nature of the contents.

Mr. Ashley, on behalf of the company, said these pro
coding. were taken to put a stop to the dangerous practice
of sending combustibles by railway. It was well known,
however, that thetesala in question had been sent to Mr.
Woolley, to be forwarded with his periodical parcels to his
misnomer. in the country, and that he himself knew nothing
et its contents. It happened that these lucitere were dis-
covered almost in a state of combustion just before the °Moe
was closed for the night. If they had not been seen, the
whole of the property at the station might have been de.

NARLHOROUGHATREET.
lbeliard Neak and John , in the service of
Mr. Newman, postmaster, -street, were summoned
by the Duke of Ul'veland for carelessly driving horses
drawing a carriage about At. James's-street.
His grace stated that he was riding in Mt. James's-street,
close to the kerb, at a foot pro., when the defendant, iu at-
tempting to par, *mined him and his horse between a cab
and an old woman's orange stall, which prevented his getting
out of the way. The carriap,wheel grazed his thigh.
The defendant said that a cab was coming, and there
was no room left to pass without coming close to the com-
plainant.
His grace said he did not wish to press for a heavy line,
but thought his complaint would act as a caution.
Hr. Beadon said as his grime was so lenient he should only
order the defendant to pay the costa of the summons.

REFRESHMENT HOUSES AND WINE LICENSER
BILL.

This bill, which is of oonsiderable importanoe to
retail grocers, and to all persons dealing in articles of food
or luxury, has finally puled through committee in the
Canmons. It contents a mistansiber of clauses, but many
of them relate rather to points of legal interpretation than
to the main principles of the measure, all of which may be
concisely stated. The bill, as it has been amended, fixes
the following license duties :
For every license to keeps refreshment house, £ s. d.
if the rent be under 20f. a-year
If the met be 201. a-year or upward. 1 1 0

For every license for selling foreign wise in
any shop by retail, and not to be consumed
on the premises, if the rent be under 601. 2 2 0
If the rent be 501. or upward. 3 3 0
The letter provisions will enable grocers, or any other
traders, to sell wine to their customers. This 'wine, tow-
age/4 rani sot be drunk on them, and isto be vended
only in reputed quart or pint bottlss, and in quantities be-
low two gallons, or one dozen reputed quart bottles, to any
single customer at one time. Sales of extent will re-
quire the usual wholesale licenee of 101. 1 .
The taking out of these licenses by shopkeepers not keep-
ing refreshment houses will not subject them to any extra
rispervision by the police. Those only will be considered re-
freshment houses in which victuals or refreshment are to be
consumed on the premises, and in which the sale of such
articles constitutes the primary business.

THE SAVOY QUESTION,

VIENNA, May 18.
On the declaration of France, that she would not
oppose the assembling of a conference for the ex-
amination of the question, " how the guarantees
stipulated by article 92 of the final Act of Vienna
could be reconciled with the treaty of the 24th
March, 1860, relative to Savoy, the English
cabinet confidentially communicated a project to
the Northern courts, according to which Ice
should cede to Switzerland such a portion of Chab-
Lis and Faucigny as would ensure to Switzer-
land the exclusive possession of the Lake
of Geneva, the neutrality of which would
be proclaimed and guaranteed. Invited by
the English cabinet to give its opinion on
this project, Austria has first thought it Indispen-
sable to institute inquiries in Paris, in order to
discover if and to what point France would consent
to a dismemberment of Savoy. Having obtained
the certainty that the court of the Tuileries will
not consent to any cession of the territory of Savoy,
the Austrian cabinet endeavoured to obtain infor-
mation whether England or Switzerland were de-
cided to pursue, at the risk of a war with France,
the project of a territorial cession on the part of
France. Austria is convinced that England, as well
as Switzerland too greatly desires the peace of the
world to compromise it on account of the annexa-
tion of Savoy. Under these circumstances Count
Rechberg has declared that the English project had
no chance of moues, considering that it would be
supported neither by Russia nor by Austria, and
would fail against the unmistakeable resistance of
France.

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, MAT DI
The Wiener Zeitnng of to-clay publishes an auto-

TRIESTE, MAT 18.
The Archduke Maximilian and Princess Char-

to be present at the ceremony of inaugurating the

Charles. The rumour that the Archduke Maxi-
milian had refused the presidency of the re-organised
Council of the Empire is unfounded. The question
respecting the nomination of the President of the
Council of the Empire will only be decided when
the archduk9 is in Vienna. There is no doubt
whatever that the'Emperor reserves a kith position
for his illustrious brother.

THE INDIAN MUTINY.

Mr. H. B. SHERIDAN wished to ask the Secretary of
State for India whether instruction@ had been sent to tho
Indian government to take steps to reduce the amount
promised by the home government for compensation for
louses by the Indian mutiny ; and, whether or not a special
despatch te India was scut about January bat upon the
smbject of these compensation@ ; and, if so,whether there was
any objection to lay that despatch, or the last despatch
upon the subject, upon the table of the house , and, fur-
ther, whether the million sterling awarded by the home
government as compensation to sufferers by the Indian
mutiny was to be the minimum as well as the maximum of
such compensation. _ _ _

Mr. T. .G. BARING aid in respect of the first question
that no instructions bad been sent out to reduce the amount
promised. With regard to the second quation, there was
no objection to the voduction of the despatch. With re.
to the third question the matter was reserved till the
government knew how much was to be paid, and
what was the principle of compensation to be followed.

INDIAN 131a0Y16 TAX.

Mr. H. B. SHEBEDIN wTsiied to uk the First Lord of the
Treasury if it was the intention of tho imperial government
to deduct English income-tax from the interest payable on
promissory notes of the Indian government where such in-
terest was payable in this country by drafts on the Indian
Treasuries ; whether it was the intention of her Maesty's
ministers to allow the Indian government to deduct Indian
income-tax from the interest payable on promissory notes of
the Indian government after English income-tax bad been
already deducted from such interest in this country ; or,
whether, in other words, interest on Indian prouussory
notes was subject to a double income-tax.
_ . _•_ . _ .

.
Mr. T. 0. BARING said that an regarded the first part
of the question the India-office acted ministerially for the
Board of Inland Revenue. As to the deduction of income
tax, that was • legal point, on which he declined to give
any opinion at that moment ; and with regard to the other
questann, he thou,ght it would be premature to give any
decided opinion till they had got the Indian Income Tar
Bill before them.

CONVOCATION.

Mr. SlNMAJRD—Wi;hedtOiaiihe Secretary of State
for the Home Department whether her Majesty's govern.
meet had advised the Queen to sanction the sitting of
Convocation in the provinces of Canterbury and York for
any other than the ordinary purpose of adjournment..

Sir G. C. LEWIS said that about the end of last February
the Convoation of Canterbury passed a meolntion for aa
address to the crown, praying that they might receive per-
Milillioll to revise the 29th canon, which prohibited any
parent from being godfather or godmother to his or her
child. The house might not be aware that it was not com-
petent for Convocation to consider an alteration of a canon
without the previous permission of the crown. The appli-
cation had been taken into consideration by the government,
and they advised that the prayer of it should he complied
with. When the Convocation completed that revision it
would be necessary to submit the amended canon to the
crown before it could have any valid effect. No application
had been received from the Convocation of York.

SARDINIA.

TURIN, FIWAT, MAT 25.
The discussion upon the treaty of the 24th of
March was opened to-day.
The following is a summary of the speech of
Signor Guerazzi on the subject :—" The people of
Italy had hoped for the protection of Piedmont.
France in return for the annexation of Central
Italy to Piedmont wished to possess Savoy and
Nice, and the existing ministry had been compelled
to accept the annexation of these provinces
to France. Since then the Italian question had much
fallen, it has been thrown from the Capitol, and
has become an affair of stock jobbing. The ministry
showed itself very timid towards France, and
ceded Savoy and Nice, in order not to be obligea to
maintain the autonomy of Tuscany. A treaty of
mistrust has been made, and the Emperor bad
shown that he suspected us. If Italy had been
all to the Italians it would have been possible to
remove the barrier, which separated two great
families, but with Austria in the heart of
our country can we have sufficient con-
fidence 1 It will be neceeary to transport
the capital and parliament elsewhere. We have
opened our doors, we have failed in our obligations
to Savoy and Nice ; and the "Emilia and Tuscany
will tremble for the same fate. You have not sub-
mitted to the law of necessity, but have performed
such acts as reduced us to a necessity which did
not exist." Signor Guerazzi then mentioned the
events which took place during the voting, and con-
cluded thus :—" I do not believe that this cession is
worth the possession of Central Italy to us. We

RAILWAY COMPANIES' ASSOCIATION.

The ordinary monthly meeting of the association
was held on Thursday at the Railway Clearing House, Sey-
mour-street, New-read. Mr. BAUM) in the chair.
The minutes of the proceedingwoLtnithe previous meeting
having been submitted, the to • report was read and
adopted—" The accounts of expenses or the quarter ending
30th June amount to 71181. Is. 2d., which includes
all the legal and parliamentary expenses incurred to
this date. The attention of the committee has been
directed to the provisions of the ' Gas (Metropolis)
Bill,' and they regret to find the introduction of
clauses involving the most pernicious principles of
government inspection and control over the dividends of
the companies, which if once admitted will no doubt be
extended to railway and all other companies establiahed
under the authority of parliament, and to which, therefore,
the committee recommend all railway companies to offer
the most strenuous opposition."
It was resolved, on the motion of the CEIATAMAN, seconded
by Mr. F. Cirivirst, "That the recommendation offered by
the committee on the subject of the clauses in the Metrepo-
litan Gas Bill be adopted, and the several companies, mem-
bers of the association, be requested to wst.l the further
progress of the bill, and to 00-operate in the opposition to
the clauses referral to in the committee's report.
The CHAIRWAN gave notice that at the next meeting he
would move that the subject of the rating of railways be
considered, with the view of obtaining legislative redress in
the next session.

move at the next meeting the oonsiderction of a system of
government console applicable to railway debentures, with a
view to a reduction of the interest payable Ly railway com-
panies, and the gradual extinction of their several debenture
ebts. He observed that the system which many railways
had adopted to make their debentures a consolidated prefer.
ence stock at 4 per cent. had not been successful ; but be
thought by the assistance of the government some aheme
might be propounded by which the desire of railway com-
panies might be carried into effect, vie, that the govern-
ment should borrow money at 31 per cent., and lend it to
the railway companies at 41 per cent., and that the dif-
ference between the two rates should be a sinking-fund,
which should accumulate for 40 rears, at the end of which
period the fund would be equal to the amount borrowed
from the government, and extinguish so much of the de-
benture debts of railway companies, the amount to bs bar.
rowed by the latter not to exceed a quarter of their deben-
tures. It might be asked what advantage would govern-
ment derive from this, or how induce them to entertain
the subject? If railway companies were to the habit of
renewing their debentures to the extent of 20,000.0001.

INDIA.

We have received advioes from Calcutta to June
4, and from Madras to June 9.
The report of the select oommittee on the Income
Tax Bill was presented on the 26th of May. Some
alterations are recommended which do not afect
the principle of the measure. Mr. Wilson said he
had read nothing since the 18th of February to alter
Ibis opinion of the measure ; that the bill is in all
important respects the same as at first, and that it
has the unanimous support of his colleagues and
the Governor-General.

At the meeting of the Legislative Council on the
2nd of June, Mr. Wilson presented the report on
the Bill for Licensing of Arts, Trades, and Pro-
fessions, and stated that no material alteration had
been effected in the bill in committee, buten addition
hadbeen made to itof verygreatimportance. It will
be remembered that one of the means by
which it was proposed to improve the revenues
of India was a tobacco tax, but the government
at that time bad reserved the consideration
of the best manner of levying it. They have at
last come to the conclusion that the wisest and best
mode in which they can impose this tax, which will
least interfere with trade, and will enable the re-
venue to be collected at the smallest expense to
government, will be by a license tax. Government
has therefore thought it proper to add special
clauses to the License Bill to effect this.

The Hurkarn says, "Lord Canning has given
his strong adherence and support to Mr. Wilson's
measures, and there is no doubt they will be car-
ried, with a few modifications, in detail."
The dissatisfaction among the people of Oude,
consequent on the imposition of an income-tax, is
reported to have subsided.

Both England and France have agreed that in

interference. In the event, however, of the Porte
proving incapable of putting a atop to the conflict
between the Druses and Maronites, England and

the latter to effect a disembarkation at Beyrouth

MONEY ORDER OFFICES AT GIBRALTAR AND
MaLTA.-1. OD the Ist of August next the DOSt-OffiCes at
Gibraltar and Malta will be empowered to pay as well as to
issue money orders, and from that date money orders will
be issued at all money order offices in the United Kingdom
on Gibraltar and Malta. A commission of 9d. will be
charged ou any sum not exceeding 21., and of Is. CA. on any
sum above 22. and not exceeding 51. Beyond this latter
amount no single order can lie issued. 2. The issue of
money orders under this arrangement will, in all other
respects, be on the same conditions as regulate their issue
by one aloe on another in the United Kingdom. As,
however, the advice authorising payment of an order must
always pass through the metropolitan office, it may oixa•
sionally reach Gibraltar or Malta, as the case may be, seine
days after the order itself, and hence there may sometimes
be a short delay in the payment.—By command of the
