GARIBALDIAN QUARB.EL.—PoIice-constable Lebbell,
No. 398 K, made a communication to Mr. Partridge, at
11 o'clock this day that a man named John Coghlan, Who
was wounded on the night of Saturday, the 9th of April,
was dying in the London Hospital, and that it was com,i,
dered neceassary by the medical officers of the institution.
that his deposition should be taken forthwith.

Mr. Partridge asked if the case had not been investi.
gated by his colleague, Mr. Paget?
Lebbell replied in the affirmative. A man named William
Simmons, a coffeehouse-keeper, of Carr-street, Limehouse,
was remanded by Mr. Paget for a week on a charge of
wounding the man on the knee with a chopper, which he
threw at him. There had been a discussion among some
men in Simmons's coffee-house, about Garibaldi, and one
man exclaimed, "d- the rupe I" Coghlan interfered;
a row ensued, and Simmons took up a chopper, which he
threw at Coghlan, and it struck him on the knee. The
man's leg had been since amputated. He was dying fast,
and not expected to survive many hours.
Mr Partridge said he would proceed this afternoon to the
hospital, and receive the deposition of the unfortunate man.
He directed the constable to proceed to the Clerkenwell
House of Detention, and fetch the prisoner to the hospitals
that he might hear the evidence of Coghlan.

CAMERON'S GOUT SPECIFIC.
An Effectual and Speedy Remedy for the Gout, Mien-
mati q'n, Sciatica, Lumbago, and Neuralgia. This invaluable
Medicine is so pre-eminently efficacious as to admit of no
parallel. Instances have been known, in which sufferers have
been confined to their apartments, hand and foot, writhing
under the most intense agony, whose sufferings, to the asto-
nishment of their friends, have been wholly removed in less
than 24 hours after taking the above medicine, and themselves
rendered ab eto resume their avocations, Indeed, the effect
has been such, and brought about in so harmless and speedy
a manner, that the proprietor, with the utmost confidence,
challenges the medical world to rroduce a medicine equal to
it. To the constitution it is harmless ; to the fluids of the
human frame it adds an agreeable impetus ; to the system
generally it is invigorating to a degree unparalleled ; and
male or female may take it to equal advantage. A dose of
the above medicine taken about once a month operates most
effectually in preventing a return of the complaint. Pri e

as ho has done, has been wanting in the respect due to
a member of a Parliamentary Committee; that M.
Susan' has been wanting in a still more serious manner
in the respect which he owed to his quality of repre-
sentative of the nation, The Chamber was deeply moved
at this conclusion of the report. M, Eastoggi asked per-
mission to speak, but as the hour was late, his reply was
put off until the next day. In the following sitting he
spoke at great length, and vas listened to with silence,
mingled with respect: His defence did not, however, ap-

,Per the City of London, via Cape Clear, July 20.
NEW YORK, JULY 9, 11 a.m.

The accounts from the Upper Potomac continue
confused and contradictory. Some state that the
Confederates, after levying money contributions
upon Hagerstown, Sharpsburg, and other towns,
and plundering the surrounding country, have re-
crossed the Potomac, evacuated Harper's Ferry,
and are retreating southward. Others, cqually
trustworthy, assert that the present force of in-
vaders is destroying the communication and
marceavring until the main body, consisting at
least of Ewell's and Longstreet's carps, arrives
when the whole will march upon Baltimore and
Washington.

Some anxiety is felt for General Hunter, who at
the latest acounts (on the 3d inst.), was at Charles
ton, West Virginia, his army dispirited and
exhausted by long marches.
Sigel has been superseded by General Howe.
Governor Seymour has directed General Sandford

to allow none of the militia to leave New York, in
response to the President's call, until further
orders ; he has also ordered all commandants to
recruit their regiments to the maximum standard
within ten days, or they will at the end of that
time be filled up by draught.

Secretary Fessenden will visit New York next
week, to consult with the bankers and others upon
the immediate necessities of his department.

The Metropolitan Board of Works,

An extra meeting of this board was held yesterday
at the offices in Spring-gardens, the chairman,
Mr S. Thwaites, presiding. Mr. Silas Taylor called
attention to a report in the newspapers of a state-
ment made in the House of Commons the previous
evening by Mr. Villiers, the President of the Poor-
Law Board, to the effect that a bill relating to the
casual poor of the metropolis was now being con-
sidered by the Metropolitan Board of Works. As
no euch bill had been sent to this board that he
(Mr. Taylor) was aware of, he thought that some
explanation was due as to the grounds on which
Mr. Villiers had made the statement. After some
conversation as to whether the matter should or
should not be allowed to stand over, the chairman
said he had no doubt the President of the Poor-law
Board had made the statement in the House of
Commons in all good faith, inasmuch as the Secre-
tary of the Poor-La vv Board, who had visited the
offices that morning, was greatly surprised when
informed that this Board had not been communi-
cated with, The purpose of the proposed bill, which
was called the Metropolis Casual Poor Act, was to
remedy the great and painful evil, which was ap-
parent all over the metropolis, of poor homeless
persons lying about the streets at night. The prac-
tice of some workhouses was to place a board outside
the casual wards, stating that the place was full and
so poor persons had to tramp from parish to parish
perhaps all night without finding a resting-place.
Some distressing cases had come before the public in
consequence of this, and the Poor-law Committee had
recommended that certai❑ means should be taken
to remedy this. The bill for the purpose, which Mr
Villiers intended to bring in, proposed that this
board should raise £6,000 a year, which amount
the Poor Law Board was to spend in providing
lodging and food for the casual poor. This year
the assessment would be made on the basis of
the county rate, but he had explained to the
Secretary of the Poor Law Board that that es-
sessment was contrary to the principle adopted
in this country, as the county rate fell upon the
owners of property, whereas the occupiers were
bound to provide for the poor. The assessment,
however, would only amount to one-twelfth of a
penny, and next year a different arrangement might
be made. Mr Nicholay spoke against the bill,
which Mr Newton supported, as he thought it was
a step in the direction of equalisation of poor rates.
It was eventually agreed to leave the subject open
until the next sitting of the Board. At the last
Board meeting it was resolved to apply to Parlia-
ment for powers to make a new street between the
Commercial-road East and Whitechapel, so as to
have one continuous line of wide open street from
the City to the Docks. The cost of the improve-
ment will be upwards of £115,000. Five of the
East-end parishes, looking upon this as a great boon
to the whole district, have cordially thanked the
Board for taking this step.

induced to controvert their wishes. It may be as'
well to let the matter pass in silence, so far as re-
gards the House of Commons, because the question
has already been debated there at sufficient length
on divers occasions, but a more striking proof of
Ministerial incapacity and official blundering has
seldom been put on record. It may be very con-
venient to turn a deaf ear to the voice of reproof,
but the judgment of the country must be against
a course of procedure which thus compromises the
free and independent spit it that has always charac-
terised our dealirgs with foreign nations, and our
transactions with our own citizens.

The New Reforin Movement,

Lsst evening a public muting of the inhabitants
of Bethnal-green and the East-end of Londott was
held at the Peel-grove Institution, for the purpose
of kdvancing the cause of Parliamentary Reform,
by the adoption of manhood suffrage as the basis of
representation.

Mr. Hilton having been voted to the chair,
Mr l'uomAs BUFFUAiI moved a resolution to the
Effect that the time had arrived when the unfran.
chised masses of the people of this country should
be admitted to a share in the right of election of
members of Parliament, by that right being ex•
tended to all resident and registered adult males,
persons of sound mind and unconvicted of crime.

The resolution was seconded by Mr W.R.
CREMER, who stated that the apathy of the masses
on this subject of Parliamentary Reform was little
to be wondered at after the manner in which they
had been deceived and betrayed by those who had
promised, and who had the power, to confer the
franchise upon them.

Mr JOHN R. TAYLOR having supported the re-
solution, it was put from the chair and unanimously
adopted.

Mr BLIGII next moved a resolution, in effect
that a committee be appointed for taking the neces-
sary steps and raising the necessary funds for carry-
ing into effect the preceding resolution, and wltb
that view to establish an association to be called

FACILITIES FOR DIVINE SERVICE IN COL-
LEGIATE SCHOOLS BILL.

Mr COLLINS moved the second reading of this bill,
which was for the purpose of legalising the performance of
Divine worship in public schools.

Mr HARDCASTLE moved as an amendment that it be
read a second time that day three months. He though,
the real object of the bill to be to enable the masters of cer-
tain public schools to have full divine service in their
schools, and they removed from the parents of the scholars
all control over their religious education. He was indis-
posed to greater facilities to the masters than those
which at present existed.
Mr REMINGTON MILLS supported the bill.
Mr KINNAIRD objected to the bill. It was of the
greatest importance, and therefore it ought to be considered
when there was a fuller attendance of members. He seconded
the amendment, because he thought the present measure
ought to have been introduced at the beginning rather than
at the close of a session of Parliament.

The Balloon Riot at Leicester,

Yesterday, at the Town Hall, Leicester, before
the Mayor, Geo. Baines, Esq., S. Harrison, Esq.,
and E. S. Ellis, Esq., Mr C. J. Carttar, solicitor,
Greenwich, appeared before the bench to take legal
proceedings against certain persons concerned in
the destruction of Mr Coxwell's new balloon
Britannia at the Foresters' fete on the Leicester
racecourse on Monday last.
Mr Carttar, in a lengthy address, stated the case
to the magistrates, and proposed to indict those who
had committed the wilful damage to appear at the
~..7xt Leicester sessions in answer to the charge.

The Town Clerk suggested that it would be better
to prefer the charge under the Criminal Law Con•
solidation Act, 24 and 25 Vic., chap. 97, sec. 51, for
mali3ious injury, and the indictment was so taken
accordingly.
Mr Ellis, one of the magistrates, told Mr Coxwell
that be was within 50 yards of the balloon, and he
did not notice the slightest obstacle to the ascent.
