POOR. LACY (SCOTLAND).

Mr. DALGLISH asked the Lord Advocate whether he
intended to bring in any bill to explain the existing poor
law of Scotland in regard to the occasional nada' of able-
bodied poor
The LORD ADVOCATE intimated that as some doubt
had arisen in the law courts of Scotland in regard to the
administration of the poor law, a short act to interpret the
old act would most probably be introduced during the
present session.
DRAWBACK ON REFINED SUGAR.

Mr. 11.10iiFAI'T asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer
whether the interim inquiry as to the drawback on exporta-
tion of refined sugar was complete, and when it was pro-
bable the report would be laid upon the table.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
should lose no time in making the house partakers of any
information that might reach him on the subject. Ho un-
derstood the report had been completed,--it had not yet
reached his hands, but he anticipated it would be in a few
days.

PERU-CRUELTIES COMMITTED ON CAPTAIN

WHITE N UTVILLE.
Col. DUNNE asked the Under secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs what steps had Leen taken to obtain redress
for the cruelties inflicted by the Peruvian Government on
Captain White Nutville, a British subject.
Mr. LAYARD replied that the case of Captain White
Nutville was one of the worst he ever remembered. It
appeared he was arrested on an unfounded charge. He was
put into prison, and treated with the greatest barbarity ;
indeed the punishment inflicted upon him was a disgrace to
that county. Atter being in prison he was liberated on
the representation of the British Consul. No reason was
given for the conduct to which Captain 1\ utville was sub-
jected.; The matter was referred to the law officers
of the Crown, and they reported that he was ;en-
titled to compensation, and £1,500 was suggested
and that sum was received from the Peruvian Government
and paid to him. (Hear, hear.) It appeared, however,
that Captain Nutville was dissatisfied with this sum, and
actually demanded £202,174. (Much laughter.) He
would mention a few of the items. " Three blows on the
head with a musket £3,200." (Laughter.) "A knock-
down blow by a soldier, £1,000." " Several
bayonet prods and kicks on my aching sides, £2,000."
(Laughter.) " Five: days bad food, £5,000. (Laugh-
ter.) " Loss of health £20,000." (Roars of laughter.)
The Government had not deemed it right to make any ad-
ditional demand upon the Peruvian Government (Hear.)
Both sides had agreed to refer the matter to arbitration, and
no doubt a satisfactory decision would be arrived at.

BisnoP BLOMFIELD used often to relate the
following anecdote :—Walking over one Sunday to
his duty at Little Chesterford, he found on his arrival that
he had forgotten to bring his sermon with him. It was
too late to return ; so, for the first and only time in his
life, he preached ex tempore, taking for his text the first
verse of the 53d Psalm, " The fool bath said in his heart,
there is no God." Being anxious to know how he had
seemed to succeed in an unaccustomed effort, he asked one
of the congregation, on coming out, how he bad liked the
,8.6,11110,1- " Well, Mr, Bloomfield," replied the man, " I
lilted the sermon well enough ; but I can't say I agree with
YOU; 1 think there be a Ciod."—Bishop • Ziff,

Amalgamation of the City with the Metro

politan Police Force.

PUBLIC MEETING (THIS DAY).
A very large public meeting was held this afternoon,
the Guildhall, for the purpose of affording the citizens
.°
London an opportunity of expressing their disapprobation
of a Bill introduced into Parliament by Sir G. Grey, thi
Home Secretary, for Amalgamating the City with the Me
tropolitan Police Force. Nearly every member of th'
Corporation was present.

The LORD MAYOR presided, and expressed a hope th 3
the meeting would succeed in preventing the passing of i
bill which was an invasion of the privileges of the CO' 0
London.

The following are the resolutions to be proposed, which
will doubtless be agreed to unanimously.
"That the citizens of London obtained from the Sor
reigns of this realm the right of electing their own magic'
trates, and of keeping watch and ward within the city,
right which they have ever exercised for the benefit of the
people and the protection of their liberties; that the NI
for the Amalgamation of the City of London Police with
the Metropolitan Police is an invasion of this right, and 11
subversive of the English Constitution, or principle of loos:
self-government which has fostered the love of freedom la
this country, has drawn closer the ties which connect the
people with Crown and Parliament, and under which thlg
City and the nation at large have so long prospered."
" That the police force of this City is as efficient, if not
superior, to any force in these realms for the protection of
life and property and the detection of crime, Oa
for the regulation of the immense traffic which
throng the streets of this city, and that it is unwise al,'
inexpedient to interfere with its management and control
so long as its duties continue to be efficiently performed!'
" That this meeting calls upon the representatives of
this city, and also upon the representatives of the citizens
in the corporation, to offer, by every means in their power,
the most determined opposition to the passing of the bill for
the amalgamation of the City with the Metropolitan Police;
and that a petition from this meeting, embodying the pre-
sent resolution, be presented to the House of Commons 121
one of the City representatives."
The utmost excitement prevailed throughout the hall.

TEA.—There has been a moderate amount "of business
transacted, and prices generally are well maintained, par-
ticularly for superior descriptions.
SUGAR —The market has been dull; late quotations,
however, are current for good grocery qualities. In the
refined market full rates are demanded, owing to the seve-
ral supplies on offer.
CorrEE.—Business has been moderately active, the de-
mand for exportation having slightly increased, and full
rates are obtained for all descriptions.
RICE.—For the better qualities of East Indian there has
beem more inquiry, and late prices are sustained.
SALTPETRE,—Business has been
inactive, and the few
bargains entered into were at about former retes.
TALLOW.—The market has been much depressed, and
the recent advance in prices has been, in a great me,-„,ure,
lost, owing to the more favourable views entertained with
regard to toe American and Polish questions. P.Y.C. on

gerald, Wm. Martin, Wm. Holloway, and Ann Holloway,
were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with loitering in Pall-
Mall, near the club-houses, and also in the Haymarket,
near Her Majecy's Theatre, for the purpose of committing
a felony.

Win. Gordon, (323 A, said that at eleven the previous
night, he saw Martin and the man Holloway together in
Pall-Mall. He watched them into Haymarket, where they
separated and entered a crowd at the Opera-house. They
shortly afterwards returned and joined the woman and
Fitzgerald, who were waiting in Pall-Mall. The woman
then left the men and went on down Pall-Mall and stopped
a gentleman, who broke away from her. She then went
on with Fitzgerald in her rear, and the others lurking on
the other side of the way. The woman then stopped
another gentleman, and Martin and Holloway crossed over
to the woman, and Fitzgerald entered a public-house. The
woman stopped another person who stood talking to her,
and on his leaving all the prisoners joined and went into
the Star and Garter public-house, where they stayed about
ten minutes. The woman then went along, the three men
following at a little distance. Near George court the
woman stopped another person, but seeing him (Gordon)
she returned and joined the others. He (Gordon) then
stopped them with the assistance of Cook, 106 C, and took
them into custody. While at the station the woman put
her hand into Holloway's pocket and took out a handker-
chief, and on his (Gordon) taking the handkerchief and
asking Holloway whether it was his own, he said it was,
and that it was marked with initial " H.," but instead of
that it bore the name of " G. Gunter."
In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the officer said he knew the
woman as a prostitute and to belong to a gang of notorious
thieves. Martin worked at a photograph shop by day, but
was a thief by a night.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said there was no doubt all the prisoners
were in Pall-mall for the purpose of picking somebody up,
and if the woman could not do it, then the men were there
ready to go up and knock a person down.. It was quite
clear that the female was cruising about to rob some one
with the assistance of the others.
The prisoners were remanded for a week.
James Fulcher, a lad, was fined 40s. for assaulting a
little girl named Mary Ann Addis, living at 62, Piccadilly.
The case was proved by Mr. F. Crane, hosier, of Regent-
street, and the little girl herself, the only provocation given
the prisoner being the accidentally touching him with a
basket.

The Sisters of St. Vincent de Paul.

" J. 0.," in a letter to a contemporary, says :
To-day and to-morrow, through the kindness of the
officers of the 2d Regiment of Life Guards, a bazaar
will be held in their riding school, at Knightsbridge,
for the purpose of collecting funds for the support
of the infant schools which the Sisters of St. Vin-
cent de Paul have at last succeeded in establishing
among the destitute Irish population of West-
minster.

It is needless that I should trespass on your valu-
able space in order topraise these admirable women ;
or that I should dwell upon the humanity and
utility of the laborious task for which they have
thus volunteered. The names of his Royal High-
ness the Duke of Cambridge, of Lord Clyde, and of
Sir James Scarlett, which appear at the head of the
long list of their supporters published in your
columns, sufficiently prove the estimation in which
these sisters of charity are held by those who have
had practical opportunities of judging of the value
of their services.

It has, however, been suggested to me that if I
were to ask you to publish these few lines in a pro-
minent position in your columns the public in gene-
ral might be reminded of the opportunity thus
afforded them of showing that the perils encoun-
tered and the good deeds done by these Roman
Catholic Sisters on behalf of our wounded so.diers
and seamen have not been forgotten. I therefore
beg of you to do so.

The Forthcoming International Dog-Show.

The patronage which his Royal Highness the
Prince of %Vales has intimated his intention of be-
stowing on the forthcoming International Dog
Show, appointed to take place in the intervening
week between the ensuing Epsom and Ascot Races,
at the Agricultural Hall, Islington, has had the
effect of causing a very large number of the aris
tocracy to make entries also, and to become compe
titors with his Royal Highness in sporting and other
dogs, which it is now understood he too intends ex-
hibiting. Amongst those who have made entries
during the last few days are the Earl of Derby, the
Duke of Beaufort, Earl Craven, Lord Berners, Lady
Evelyn Bruce, Sir J. Carnac, Mr. Hanbury, M.P.,
Capt. Brock, and large numbers of the best known
sporting men in the kingdom. Some very great
curio.ities are stated to be entered in the foreign
classes, a large number of entries having been
received of animals to be exhibited previously to
the Paris dog show, and for the purpose of still
further accommodating those who are to bring their
specimens from distant parts, the period for making
entries has been extended to May.ll. The show is,
it appears, to consist of two divisions and 66 classes,
namely, dogs used in field sports, and dogs not
used in geld sports,

THAMES.

ROBBERY IN ♦ LODGING-ROUSE.—Semllel Fit zherbert,
a ship's carpenter, was brought before Mr. Woolrych,
charged with stealing £ll in gold, 255. in silver, and a gold
watch valued ten guineas, in the lodging-house of Mr. W.
Smith, Broad-street, Ratcliff.
It appeared from the evidence of Mrs. Elisa Smith, wife
of the prosecutor, that five weeks ago the prisoner lodged
in her house for two days and three nights only, and at
that time there was £ll in gold in a purse, 255. in silver
loose, and a gold watch in a drawer in her bed-room. The
money consisted of the hard earnings of herself and hus-
band, and was put by to pay the rent, rates, and taxes of
the house. The gold watch was an heirloom. It had
been in her possession twenty years. The prisoner came
dawn stairs early on the morning of the third day he was
in the house and left it unperceived by Mrs. Smith, while
she was in the yard in the rear of the house filling a tea-
kettle with water. His disappearance created no surprise
until the middle of the day, when Mrs. Smith went to the
drawer in her bedroom to obtain some money to satisfy the
demand of a tax-collector. On opening the drawer she
discovered that all her gold and silver and her gold watch
were gone. She ran down stairs much agitated and scream-
ing, and as soon as she recovered herself made her loss
known to the police. The prisoner Nuts not apprehended
until yesterday afternoon. He was taken into custody
by John Fry, a police constable, No. 320 K, who asked him
what he had done with the money he had stolen, to which
he made a statement in reply that he had squandered it in
drink and dissipation, and that money illgotten was never
saved. . .

---•
Mary Ann Seymour, described as an unfortunate girl,
dwelling in Richard-street, Commercial-road East, said the
prisoner " took up" with her five weeks ago, and gave her
a gold watch, On Friday last be told her to get £2 on it.
She obtained £2 16s upon it, and sold the duplicate after-
wards.
Alfred Gard, assistant to Mr. Lewis Laumberg, pawn-
broker in Broad-street, Ratcliff, near the prosecutot's
house, produced a gold watch, which tho last witness
pawned at his master's establishment. Yesterday tho
woman Seymour came to the shop and paid the interest on
the watch. At the same time she changed the name and
address on the duplicate relating to the watch, and she said
she had sold the duplicate.

Mrs. Smith identified the watch as her property. It was
the one stolen.

In answer to a question, Mrs. Smith said—The money
was all we had—our hard earnings, sir. It has distressed

us very much.

Mr. Woolrych—lt is very unfortunate, indeed. I am
sorry for you.
Fry said when he met the prisoner yesterday he ran a
mile before he could catch him.
The prisoner was then asked by the magistrate whether
he would have the case disposed of here or tried at the ses-
sions?

The prisoner—Settle here at once, your worship.
Mr. Woolrych—Are you guilty or not guilty ?
The prisoner—Not guilty.
Mr. Woolrych—Very well. I shall remand you for
week, and then commit you for trial. I cannot dispose or
it myself if you plead not guilty.
