MONTGOMERY DISTRICT OF Boßouorts.--We
regret to have to announce the death of Captain
John Samuel Wiles Johnson, the respected member
for the above district. Captain Johnson was first
elected for the Montgomery boroughs in 1861,
having succeeded Mr. David Pugh, his father-in-
law, who represented Montgomery district from

832 till 1861. We understand that the Conserve.

David Pugh, and it is not probable there will be
any opposition.

DEVONPORT.—In the recent revision of the re-

into the payment of rates by registered electors, it
must be a gratifying fact to Conservatives to know
that every Conservative elector was found duly

(Before Mr. Baron Channel)
MURDER.
Alfred Holden, 25, a private in the Royal Artil-
lery, a smart soldier-like looking young man, was
placed at the bar to plead to an indictment, and also
an inquisition by the coroner, both of which charged
him with the wilful murder of his child, eleven
months old, named Alfred James Holden.
In some of the counts of the indictment the child
was described as an infant of tender years, known
by the name of Tom.

When the prisoner was called upon to say whether
he pleaded guilty or not guilty of the felony and
murder of which he was accused, he replied in a
calm and deliberate tone, " I am guilty."
Baron Channell asked the prisoner whether he
was aware that he was charged with the crime of
wilful murder, for which his life might be forfeited,
and he at the same time told him that he must
clearly understand that pleading guilty would not
have the slightest effect or in any way alter the
sentence that would have to be pronounced on him.
The prisoner, coolly, said that he was aware of all
that the learned judge had stated.
Baron Channell—And do you still say that you
are guilty ?
Prisoner—l do, my lord.
His lordship then passed sentence of death in the
usual form, and the prisoner, who was perfectly
unmoved, when he had concluded, turned hastily
round and retired from the bar apparently quite
unconcerned.

THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 30, 1863.

' such schools to extend their influence, and it is
always well to take advantage of establishments
already in working order. Another argument in
favour of the continuation of the grants is that, in
most cases, they had been applied in raising the
salaries of the masters and mistresses, an ill-paid
class, to whom the existence of better paid appoint-
ments here and there offers an encouragement which
is very desirable. It is useless to expect children
to be properly taught or trained unless their in-
structors are capable for their office. There is far too
much cheap education
going on nowadays. 'W e can-
not take up a paper without seeing amazing advertise-
ments telling us how all the comforts of home and a
first-rate classical and mathematical education can
be secured for sixteen guineas a year inclusive, or
reading a catalogue of the varied acquirements and
accomplishments to be imparted by some ad-
venturous lady, who is a finished trusician
and excellent linguist, for sixpence an
hour. This is the sort of thing we should watch-
fully guard against in our national schools—super-
ficiality without substance. If we attempt too
much we shall fail utterly. The vast area over
which knowledge is at present extended offers great
temptations to the instructor who wishes to attain
distinction through his pupils, and varied and ab-
struse lessons puzzle the brains of children of very
ordinary ability, to whom they are likely to be of
no practical benefit in after life. For schools of
this character, at which the attendance of the chil-
dren is often very brief, it is idle to fill their heads
and load their memories with strings of dates and
knowledge equally useless. A fair idea of the history
of their own country, a thorough ; cquaintance with
the rudiments of a plain education, and a know-
ledge of the general outlines of geography, are
quite as mach as children belonging generally to an
uncultivated class, and only at school for a few short
months, perhaps, need to learn. If there is time or
opportunity for more, the rudiments of natural
science and mechanics would be more advantageous
to them than forgotten names and dates, which
serve only for display. We want in our teachers
persons of character and discriminative judgment,
not mere walking catechisms ; and an improvement
in the rate of salary will probably encourage or en-
able such persons to come for ward.

LAW INTELLIGENCE--This Day,

COURT OF BAN'Kr;UPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Pane.)
IN RE :707.N LEE SCOTT.

In this cazz. his Honour passed the bankrupt's exami-
nation, and granted the order of discharge, but that deci-
sion was appealed against, and the Lord Chancellor had
directed that the matter should be referred back to the
learned Commissioner for further evidence. _

Mr. Griffiths complained that the opposing creditor had
not complied with the order of the Lord Chancellor to
bring the matter to issue without delay, that the matter
might be decided before the vacation, but the order had
not been drawn up, and consequently the case was not
in his Honour's paper of business fur the day, but the
matter stood in the Lord Chancellor's list for the day.
The bankrupt had volunteered to submit to any further
examination, however searching, and to give every expla-
nation ; it was therefore a very hard case that he should
be prejudiced by the 'aches of the opposing creditor.
Mr. E. C. Lewis protested against the irregularity of
taking matters not in the list before the business of the
day. It was a matter of constant occurrence, and led to
great inconvenience. He was engaged in a cause from 11
o'clock, and it was now 12, and he must ask the Court
to proceed with the business on the list. His case had been
adjourned till this day.
His Honour said he did not see how he could proceed at
all. He had decided on the case, as he was led to believe,
on its merits. He was now told that his decision had been
appealed against, but he had nothing before him to show
that.
Mr. Griffiths said there was no doubt of the fact, but the

but after the list of the day had been gone through, he
would hear any arguments on either side.

When the prisoner was called upon to say whether
he pleaded guilty or not guilty of the felony and
murder of which he was accused, he replied in a
calm and deliberate tone, " I am guilty."
Baron Channell asked the prisoner whether he
was aware that he was charged with the crime of
wilful murder, for which his life might be forfeited,
(Bldeefonr:2s,
and he at the same time told him that he must
clearly understand that pleading guilty would not
have the slightest effect or in any way
alter the
sentence that would have to be pronounced on him.
The prisoner, coolly, said that he was aware of all
that the learned judge had etated.
Baron Channell—And do you still say that you
are guilty ?
Prisoner—l do, my lard.
His lordship then passed sentence of death in the
usual form, and the prisoner, who was perfectly
unmoved, when he had concluded, turned hastily
ie
round and retired from the bar apparently gulfs
,unconcerned.

The St, Briavel's Re• Marriage Case.

In 1855, the Rev. A. Lush, curate of Greywell, Hants,
prevailed upon a couple, who had been married at an.lnde-
pendent chapel fourteen months before, to be re.marri.cd by
him; the parties being described in the banns, and in the
register, as a bachelor and a spinster respectively.
For this offence against the law be was com.mit.ed for
trial at the Winchester assizes; but, in ths interimihon
e
thought it proper to confess his error, and the prosecut
was abandoned. In his 'Apology, he acknowledged the
validity of marriages performed either in dissenting chapels
or before Superintendant Registrars, and also that they
were " binding in the sight of the Church."
Another clergyman, who has either forgotten these facts,
or who is determined to brave the penalties of the law, has,
it would seem, just committed a similar offence.
On the 21st of June, a young couple were married at the
Independent chapel, Monmouth, the man being an Episco-
palian, and the woman a Baptist. Eight day after, the
vicar of St. Briavet's, Coleford, the Rev. H. Walmesley,
re-married them; describing the man in the register as a
bachelor, and the woman as a spinster, and entering the
woman's maiden name.
The Government having been questioned by Sir Morton
Peto, whether they intended to prosecute the offander under
the 4th of Geo. IV. c, 76, s. 29, Mr. Bruce, the Under Se-
cretary of State, has replied that--
" He did not think that the conduct of the vicar in ques-
tion was such as to make him liable to prosecution for
felony under the Act 4 George IV., c. 76. Either the first
marriage was valid or it was not. If it was valid, then all
that WLS done was superfluous, and could not be the subject
of prosecution. If the first marriage was invalid, then
everything was properly done. It was clear the conduct of
the vicar was not an offence against the law. It might be
an offence against good taste and good feeling, and as such
to be condemned."

such schools to extend their influence, and it is
always %ell to take advantage of establishments
already in working order. Another argument in
favour of the continuation of the grants is that, in
most cares, they had been applied in raising the
salaries of the masters and mistresses, an ill-paid
class, to whom the existence of better paid appoint-
ments here and there offers an encouragement which
is very desirable. It is useless to expect children
to be properly taught or trained unless their in-
structors are capable for their office. There is far too
much cheap education going on nowadays. We can-
not take up a paper without seeing amazing advertise-
ments telling us how all the comforts of home and a
first-rate classical and mathematical education can
be secured for sixteen guineas a year inclusive, or
reading a catalogue of the varied acquirements and
accomplishments to be imparted by some ad-
venturous lady, who is a finished musician
and excellent linguist, for sixpence an
hour. This is the sort of thing we should watch-
fully guard against in our national schools—super-
ficiality without substance. If we attempt too
much we shall fail utterly. The vast area over
which knowledge is at present extended offers great
temptations to the instructor who wishes to attain
distinction through his pupils, and varied and ab-
struse lessons puzzle the brains of children of very
ordinary ability, to whom they are likely to be of
no practical benefit in after life. For schools of
this character, at which the attendance of the chil-
dren is often very brief, it is idle to fill their heads
and load their memories with strings of dates and

knowledge equally useless. A fair idea of the history
of their own country, a thorough acquaintance with
the rudiments of a plain education, and a know-
ledge of the general outlines of geography, are
quite es much as children belonging generally to an
uncultivated elhss, and only at school for a few short
months, perhaps, need to learn. If there is time or
opportunity for more, the rudiments of natural
science and mechanics would be more advantageous
to them than forgotten names and dates, which
serve only for display. We want in our teachers
persons of character and discriminative judgment,
not mere walking catechisms ; and an improvement
in the rate of salary will probably encourage or en-
able such persons to come forward.

Two O'CLOCK.

At the first half-yearly meeting to.dsy of the
shareholders of the Uniun Bank of Ireland, Mr.
T. W. L. Msckean in the chair, the report
submitted to the proprietors stated that notwith-
standing the depression in every branch of industry
in Ireland, consequent on successive deficient
harvests, the accounts showed, after paying all
current expenses, a balance of profit amounting t 3
£823 7s. ld. to be carried to the next account. The
arrangements for the establishment of branches in
several parts of Ireland were not completed till
last March.

An extraordinary general meeting of the share-
holders of the Oriental Inland Steam Company was
held to-day for the purpose of receiving a report
from the chairman (Col. Grimes) of his investiga-
tions in India into the conduct of the managing
director, and of a resolution requesting his retire-
ment from tne management of the company.
The Netherlands Land Enclosure Company held
its c leventh annual meeting to-day, Mr. G. P.
Bidder in the cl:Aair. The report, which was car-
ried unanimously, stated that, in consequence of
the unusually severe storm of the 19th and 21st
December, 1862, which destroyed no less than 12
polders in the vicinity of the company's land, and
occasioned great damage to the banks of the com-
pany, the payment of the half-yearly interest due
this month on the 7 per Cent. Obligations could
not be made.

CITY SEWERS COMMISSION.

The weekly meeting of these commissioners was
held at the Guildhall on Tuesday, Mr. Deputy De
Jersey in the chair. It was reported that the
officers Lad condemned during tae past week 626;
lbs. of meat as unfit for food, the greater portion of
which was diseased. The mortality returns are
ex,Jctly the overage for the corresponding week of
the last seven years. Twetay-two, or nearly half
the deaths, were among ch.ildrrn of less than 5
years of age, and 8 were amot, g old persons of 6,
and upwards. The chief causes of death were
Phtbisis, 3 ; pneumonia, 3 ; bronchit is, 1 ; mesente-
ric disease, 5 ; hydrocephalus, 3 ; whooping
cough, 2 ; scarlet fever, 1 ; diphtheria, 1 ;
Engiish cholera, 1; and infantile diarrhoea,: ; mak-
ing together 11 deaths from tubercular affections of
the lungs, and only 7 from diseases of a zymotic
character.

Dr. LETTIEBY informed the commissioners that in
consequence of the remarks made in a former report
respecting the adulteration of the German yeast:
brought from Schiedam into the ports of London.
and Hull, the authorities at Hull had seized a large
quantity of such yeast during the last fortnight. On
making an analysis of six samples of about 7,8001b5.,
it was found that the proportion of pipeclay was
from 23 to 36 per cent. The Local Botrd of Health,
therefore, acting under the advice of their law
officer, took proceedings under the Nuisances
Removal Act, and obtained an order from the
magistrates for the destruction of the yeast. About
£177,000 worth of this article is annually imported
into England, the greater portion of which is used
in the preparation of bread. The general purposes
committee was ordered to inquire into and report
upon the matter. _ _

Mr. BAYLTS laid before the meeting the heads of
an agreement with the London, Chatham, and
Dover Railway Company respecting the viaduct
which is to cross Ludgate-hill. The Railway Com-
pany have to provide in its construction for the
widening of the Hill to the extent of sixty feet,
The agreement was then signed.

DEATH BY FALLING DOWN A PRECIPICE.—A
frightful accident hhs just occurred near Rattws y
Coed, North Wales. A party were on their way to the lake
to fish. One of the number, Mr. John Coracle, of Tawrallt,
being lame, was driven in a car. When approaching the
Ship Hotel, the horse took fright at an artist's tent close to
the road ; the animal turned suddenly back and upset the
car down a steep precipice. It appeared that concussion of
the brain and fracture of the spine resulted, and the de-
ceased was killed on the spot.

THE ARMY.

Yesterday the following troops left Chatham
garrison and embarked at Gravesend on board the
Star of India, of 1,045 tons, Capt. H. Morris, be-
longing to Messrs. Somes—viz., Brevet-Major H.
E. Jerome, V.C., Lieut. A. M. Handley, Ensign T.
B. Emerson, and 60 non-commissioned officers of the
Ist battalion of the 19th Regiment ; Lieut. E. D.
Oliver aad 40 men of all ranks of the 51st (King's
Own) Light Infantry ; and 128 non-commissioned
officers and men of the 109th Bombay Infantry.
Prior to the embarcation of the troops they were
inspected by Major-Gen. Eyre, who also visited the
Star of India at Gravesend in order to ascertain
that every requirement for the officers and men was
on board. The vessel will quit the Thames this
morning for Knrrachee, where the reinforcements
will be landed.

The following detachments of Royal Artillery at-
tached to the first division of the Depot Brigade in
the Chatham district have been placed under orders
to embark for colonial service—viz., 40 non-com-
missioned officers end gunners to embark for Gibral-
tar, to join the Ist Brigade; 30 gunners for Ber-
muda, to join the 10th Brigade ; and 10 gunners
for Nova Scotia, to join the 15th Brigade.
The 2d battalion, 13t Regiment, will replace the
20th Regiment in Portsmouth garrison, from the
camp at Aldershott, on the 4th proximo. The de-
parture of the 64th Regiment from the camp for
Gosport has been deferred until the early part of
September.

ELECTION INTELLIGENCE,

PONTEFRACT.—Major Waterhouse, who con-
tested the seat with Mr. Childers, has come
forward in the Conservative interest with
a fair prospect of success. Sir Edmund
Head, formerly governor of Canada, also
offers himself. The hon. baronet, who is totally
unacquainted with the borough, signifies his ad-
herence on the whole to the principles of her
Majesty's present advisers. Still, however, he de-
clines to fetter himself with any specific promises.
The writ was proclaimed yesterday afternoon at
the Market Cross. In the evening Sir Edmund
Head was to have addressed the electors. Both
parties are, of course, busily canvassing, but it is
still difficult to say which has the greatest pop.,

larity.
MONTGOMERY DISTRICT OF BOROUGHS.--We
regret to have to announce the death of Captain
John Samuel Willes Johnson, the respected member
for the above district. Captain Johnson was first
elected for the Montgomery boroughs in 1861.
having succeeded Mr. David Pugh, his father-in-
law, who represented Montgomery district from
1832 till 1861. We understand that the Conserva-
tive candidate for the seat is Mr. Pugh, son of Mr.
David Pugh, and it is not probable there will be
any opposition.
DEVONPORT.—In the recent revision of the re-
gister in this borough, consequent upon the inquiry
into the payment of rates by registered electors, it
must be a gratifying fact to Conservatives to know
that every Conservative elector was found duly
qualified, while no less than 22 Radicals will have
to deplore the absence of their names on the register.
As Mr. Farrand was returned by a
majority of 20
against a First Lord of the Admiralty, his seat is
now probably secure against all comers, and so in-
censed are the dockyard workmen with the unjust
treatment they have met with from the Secretary
of the Admiralty that the Government will have
great difficulty in retaining their present seat. The
recent success will be followed up energetically in
the registration courts, when, there is every reasciii
to believe, fresh gains will be realised.
