Mr. Cooke—Then why did you take them to the work-
twee*?

Witness—Became I am engaged at work, and could not
look after them. His wife is not living with him.
Mr. Messer said the defendant's wile is now an inmate of
the Caney-hatch Lunatic Asylum.
The witness—l pre the defendant notice on the Sun-
day night previa= to taking the children to the work-
house that I intended to take them on the following day,
and I did so. He did not make me any answer. He did
not provide for them afterwards. He has had work
duringthe last month or so.

By the defendant— I received a letter from you, saying
that you would come the following day and take out the
children. I received from you for the maintenance of
your four children for a fortnight,l!. tie. The main rea-
son for my taking the children to the workhouse was W-
eaned, I bad no proper convenience for them.
By Mr. Messer—The defendant ran away from me in
Leather-lane, when I told hint I was going to take his
children to the workhouse.

Me. Cooke asked if this wee the first time the defend-
ant's children had become chargeable to the parish.
Mr. Messer said that the children had before been neg-
lected, and he had to send an officer to inquire about
them. They had been left with parties who had them-
selves been paupers.
Mors, the warrant officer said he took the defendant
into custody on Sunday afternoon inside the workhouse,
tbe defendant haviag gone there to see his children.
Hs had about 12 months since gone to see the defendants'
children, and he then found them almost in a state of
nudity, and that there was but very little food in the
house at the time.

The defendant said that he bail not received a farthing
for his talking for more than 18 months. He had now
got employment, and if an arrangement could be come to
he would take his children away, and provide for them in
•
Mroper. Messeray said he should leave the case in the hands
of the magistrate.
Mr. Cooks said he considered the case proved, but he
should adjourn it for three weeks to enable the defendant
to provide for his children sail to settle with the parish.
The defendant, who was then bound over, left the court.

RAILWAY AMALGAMATION.

The essential result of amalgamation will, says the
Timm, be to abolish competition ; but competition itself
has a double character, representing on the one hand a fair
race for public favour, and on the other hand a blind
spirit of mutual animosity. It was in the latter character
that it goat the companies so dear, and it is here that fede-
ration or amalgamation would enable them to economise
infinitely to their own benefit, and without the least in-
jury to their customers. The three southern companies,
by fusing their Interests and extinguishing sources of liti-
gation, may retrench that profitless expenditure which
Mr. Watkin says has recently been going on at
the rate of about 31 guineas a minute. They
will also be exempted from the costly necessity
of undertaking unremuneretive extensions in defence of
their territorial revenues, and will thus escape that cala-
mitous charge which has curried so many shsreholtiers to
rain. On these two points alone the relief gained by
amalgamation would be so substantial as to yield large
financial gains without the least curtailment of the service
rendered to the public ; but this is not the whole of the
opportunity presented. The united companies, without
raising their farm by a single shilling, or diminishing in
any way the actual acoominodation on their respective
lines, may save much in working expenses by simply
ceasing to cut each other's throats.
The Daily New says that at first sight the schemes of
amalgamation proposed with reference to the three
southern and south-eastern coast lines appear to promise
well for the public good. They should put an end to that
senseless extravagance of competition for competition's
sake which has landed almost every line in the
kingdom in insolvency. But, unless the intentions
of the directors are misrepresented, the bill is
to result in giving tickets at a nominal price to holders of
5,0001. ordinary stock ; in raising the fares of the poorer
class of passengers who travel every day from the suburbs
or adjacent districts to the City and back again fifty per
cent., in doing sway with third-class season ticketa,impoe-
ing an extra tax for entrance into the central metropoli-
tan stations, and in confining the passenger traffic to seve-
ral express trains for the wealthy few, and an 0.-cas'onal
slow " parliamentary" train for the majority of the public.
Mr. Watkin, it is true, emphatically denies that he is in
favour of high fares, and insists that in this respect their
policy's &purely oommercialone. But if,af, ter the ruin of the
shareholders has been completed, the general public is now
to be offered up on the altar of a vast monopoly, it may
occur to the next parliament to take the whole question of
railway traffic into its bands, and insist on a national
interest of paramount importance being administered
with some regard to the national convenience.

MR IRISH CHURCH

The Convocation of the Irish Church has
met since the Act of Unice, although such important
transactions as the suppressionof bishoprlcs and the alters.
bon of the terms of subscription have appealed 'drones
to the feelings of the clergy. The Archbishop of Dublin •
has' however, been in the habit of holding a provincial
synod pro fr.r".;, composed of the came persona who Lame
a right to sit in convocation. The present archbishop
nowise, in a letter to the Dean of Cork, his intention to

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MARK-LANE.-(THIS DAY).

The quantity of wheat received fresh up this morning
from Esse: and Kent was trilling, but the bulk of the pro-
duce came to hand in tolerably good condition. As there
was only a limited attendance of millers, business in both
red and white parcels was much restricted, at the Late
decline in value.

Fall average supplies of foreign wheat were on sale.
The demand was Inactive, at Mouday's reduction in the
currencies. _ _

Floating cargoes of wheat were dull, and drooping.
Other articles afloat were quiet.
The market was scantily supplied with barley. The
trade was heavy, on former terms.
Malt moved off slowly, at late rates
In oats the transactions were to a fair extent, and
good sound corn being scarce, was firmly held.
Beans changed hands quietly, and there was not much
in for peas.
The flour trade was heavy, at barely stationary prices.
No change took place in the value of seeds or cakes, the
inquiry for which was limited.

HR. ETRIC!,, TRW..

The Times does not doubt, and has. never doubted
the conscientious zeal of the Jamaica committee ; the
doubt is whether their zeal is guided by discretion.
These gentlemen have honestly convinced themselves that
in hunting Mr. Eyre through all the criminal tribunals in
the country they are smelting a greet principle and
serving a good cause. They profess to believe, and pie.
bably do believe, that what happened in Jamaica was no
isolated event, that it might happen to-morrow in Ireland,
and that, in fact, the "governing classes," as they were c., Iled
till last year, am deeply imbued with the spirit which they
attribute to Mr. Eyre. Our contempentry believes nothing
of the kind, and is persuaded, on the contrary, that, but
for the fierce denuolations and menaces of the JIIVISiCR
committee, Mr. Eyre's policy would have found but few
defenders. The absurd demonstration at r.o:tthampton
was a response to their challenge, and the prosee..tions
instituted by them have been tae chief obstacle to a regu-
lation of martial law by parliamentary enactment. I low •
ever, the law must now take its ecume, and the Timex can
only hope that the result will not defeat the object
; which all ought to have at heart.

eery forcibly, and confirmed the illairssidoom sandhi
he had received on prorions onrisioae. Indeed,
there is more general attraction in such a oollection
than in ono of ordinary paintings, fee many can
enjoy a portrait of a distinguished man who have
no eye for a picture by the greatest mann the old
masters. If herMArsarr peruses this report she will
be pleased to learn that " the fine portrait of the
" PRINCE. CONSORT commanded a large share of i
" public admiration." We are not surprised to
read that " the portrait of BarcE, the Abyssinian
" traveller, was eagerly inquired for." Among
the new additions is an admirable likeness oi Sir
WALTER Seer'', by the late Mr. GILBERT. It
differs materially from RAEBURN'S well-known por-
trait, and is the only one in which he is Repre-
sented in evening dress. That of Lord Chancellor
THL BLOW is another which deserves a piece in the
collection ; but we cannot say this of " Meal-
" DAVIS, grandmother of the Earl of DERWENT-
" WATER, a popular actress during the reign of
" CHARLits II." This is the second of the
" popular actresses" of that reign who have been
classed among historical personages. There are two
portraits of NELL GwyNNE, one of which Li notable
for tho absence of any clothing which
might decently conceal her person. It may
be contended that she has earned for herself a
place in history ; but we cannot believe that any-
one could make out an equally strong case for
" MARY DAVIS." Nor can we hold that to have
been the grandmother of the Earl of DERWENT-
wATER is a historical title to remembrance. It is also
doubtful if the portrait of Dr. DODD should have
been purchased by the trustees. He was an elo-
quent preacher and a skilful forger ; his death on
the scaffold made him notorious. There might be
inconvenience in laying down a rule that all clergy-
men who have been executed because they were
criminals should look forward to having their por-
traits placed in our National Gallery. Whether
innocent or guilty, Princess CAROLINE certainly
made herself conspicuous enough to be a national
personage. Those who know her by report only
will not be favourably impressed when they behold
her likeness. Other important acquisitions are the
portraits of SAMUEL BUTLER and BuLaritoliV
WiIITELOCKE. Altogether, the progress of the
Gallery is creditable, if slow. It will Le more
generally visited when the pictures are hung in
suitable rooms. A few years hence our National
Portrait Gallery will be the most instructive of our
public exhibitions as well as the favourite haunt
for sight-seers.

N A 'NONA L PORTRAIT&

r is now eleven years since, at the suggestion of
Earl HTANHOgE, it was determined to found a
National Portrait Gallery, and the collection is
already one of great interest and value. From the
annual report recently presented to Parliament we
learn that the trustees have acquired 178 portraits
by purchase, and 44 by gift. The rooms in which
the collection has been temporarily housed are
now inadequate to contain the portraits in such a
way that they can be seen to advantage. Mr.
SCHARF states that " every available space, even
" on the staircase and landings, has been utilised
"by the construction of framework and screens
" for the display of the larger pictures ; and
" nothing now remains for the accommodation
"cf future acquisitions but the dark and very
" limited wall-space of the hall, on the
" ground floor, immediately connected with the
" street door." Notwithstanding the serious draw-
back of limited accommodation, the number of visi-
tors is large, 24,649 persons having visited the gal-
lery last year. It is noteworthy that owing to the
gloom and fog of hat Boxing-day, only 225 per-
sons entered the gallery as against 860 on the same
day of the previous year. During four days of
Beater week there were 3,416 visitors. These were
chiefly members of the poorer class. It is grati-
fying to learn that " the intelligent observations
" made by some who were mere children, and by
" many working lads, apparently from factories
" and printing establishments," struck Mr. BcHaar

DKr-v.—The annual meeting of the friends and supporters
of this institution was bald last night in Exeter-ha:1; the
Karl of Shaftesbury presiding. The report, read by Mr.
W. Williams, the secretary, stated that the work of the
charity was commenced by a few working men in 1843, in
amyl! room over • oow shed, in what was then known as
the Rookery of St. Giles, and from that period it had
steadily progressed, but no year's operations could cempire
in extent or success with the last. The refuge work is
now carried on at No. 8, Great Queen's-street, Linooln's-
inn-flelds for 100 boys; the training .hip Chichester, lying
off Grecnbithe, for 200 boys; and the country home, or
farm and industrial school at Bisley, near Woking, for
another 100 boys. In addition to the boys' departments,
tbera are two houses for girls; one at 19, Broad-street,
Bloomsbury, and the other at Ealing House Ealing. At
them refuges 36.1 boys and 130 girls wore boaided, clothed,
educated, and trained to earn their own livelihood, in
1867, the new admissions during the year baying been 946
boys and 49 girls, and thy departures, 229 boys and 38
girls. At the close of the year there were 134 boys and 95
girls at the homes, and 142 boys in the ship. In ;daisies"
to the refuge work, the charity provides for four day, six
night, and four Bunchy ragged schools, where upwards of
1,000 boys and girls are receiving a religious and useful
education.

THE REPRESENTATION OF DUBLIN.—For the va-
cancy caused by the death of Sir B. L. Guinness, candidates
innumerable have been not only nem ed,but positively plowed.
It would be wrong, however, to publish a fall list of the
gentlemen spoken of, but we may observe that aman
those mod generally mentioned as probable candidates
aro—Mr. Matthew D'Arcy, Sir Arthur Guinan's, Edward
Hudson Kinahan, our present high sheriff ; and Theobald
Purcell, Q.C. It has also been stated that, as a
tative of ascendancy and an active enemy of =;r.
equality, Sir Edward Grogan is likely to endeavour to
renew his acquaintance with the electors of Dublin.—

THE PRINCESS OF WALES.—The hloyrppa and
healthy course of the aecouchement of her
nese the Priacese of Wales is a source of unalloyedlilt
faction. Her royal highness was driving out on Sunder,
and at 4 24 a.m. on Monday her new little prmoees came
into the world ; Dr. Arthur Parse and Dr._ Eherhillit
being in attendance. Happily nothing, either in the
eccouchemeat or the convalescence, ban occurred to recall
the unfortunate illness which marred the recovery of the
royal• patient on the last occsaion. Nor has it in any way
nail/Limed unfavourably the present swat. Everything
has passed off auspiciously, and the medical record is •
prosperous blank. The little princess is a fine healthy
and thriving infant. In three days the daily ballades
will, in the regular course, be &soontioned—always

TILE CORRUPT PRACTICES BILL.

IN politics, as in private affairs, it is well not
to look a gift horse in the mouth. Let us do
justice to the good intentions of the Government,
and accept in a candid and uncritical spirit their
determination to press the Corrupt Practices Bill
through the present Parliament. To suppose
that they would willingly have backed
out of the Bill at the last mo-
ment would doubtless be to cast an unwar-
rantable slur on that high political morality
which, as their admirers tell us, has always dis-
tinguished their conduct of parliamentary
business, and inspired all their legislative efforts.
However this may be, their perseverance in the
present instance is decidedly praiseworthy. Nor
was the PRIME MiNisrEn indulging in romance
when he reminded the House last evening that
the amendments in Committee, which the
Cabinet had considered, virtually brought
back the Bill to the scheme originally
proposed by himself. In this respect
the Corrupt Practices Bill bears some analogy to
the Reform Bill of last year, which it may be re-
membered was restored by the amendments of the
Liberal opposition to the original design of its
joint authors, Lord DERRY and Mr. DISRAELI, at
the coat of three of their colleagues, the Ten
Minutes Bill being thrown into the fire. These
returns of Mr. DISRAELI, like the returns of for-
tune, are among the happiest passages in his minis-
terial career, and those who take advantage of
them should be the last to thow the stone. At
the moderate expense of 16,500/. a year, then, it is
now proposed, provisionally at least, to try
cases of electoral corruption by a Court
of less questionable shape than a Committee
of the House of Commons. There is no disguising
the fact—we beg pardon for the irreverence of
such a suggestion—that the public out of doors
are apt to regard a Committee of the House of
Commons sitting in a judicial capacity to try a
petition of bribery, as in some sort a tribunal of
the Undetected trying a fellow creature who has
Lad the clumsiness or the misfortune to be found
out. From a broad point of view all human
justice might, perhaps, be described in
the language of King LEAR. But when
the actual makers of the law are concerned,
it is obviously of the highest consequence to keep
up appearances. When respectable men have given
their names and their countenance to a wholesale
ystem of bribery and intimidation, it was in the
firm belief that they would not really be called to
account. A vulgar impression has prevailed that
a Committee of the House of Commons was a
solemn performance of winking and face-making;
