DISTURBANCES AT NAUPLIA,

PARIS, July 24.
Letters received here from Athens to the 19th assert
that the battallion commanded by Listzokas which
recently left the capital has taken possession of the
citadel of Nauplia. The same authority states
that the Trafalgar, English man of-war, has left for
Nauplia,

The Abduction and Murder at Islington,

-
This afternoon the prisoner William Henry Clarke, who
stands charged with the murder of the child Elizabeth
Hunter, was again placed at the bar of the Clerkenwell
Police-court, but nothing further than that which is already
known was proved. The proceedings were merely suffi-
cient to justify a remand.

CORONER'S INQUEST.
The coroner's inquiry into the circumstances attending
the death of the unfortunate child Elizabeth Hunter was re-
sumed to-day, at the Florence Arms, Florence. street, 'sling,-
ton. The prisoner Clarke was present, and the whole of the
evidence taken on former occasions was read over to him.
The most important witness examined during the investi-
gation was a person named Wm. Shrosbree, of 12, Ivy-lane,
Hoxton, who said his son some time ago purchased the pair
of gold earrings produced from a man in Shoreditch for
threepence. He corrected him for so doing at the
time, as he believed they had been stolen by the person
who sold them. The person of whom he bought them
wore a billycock hat. His son, since the occurrence,
had unfortunately died, but before his decease he said the
person of whom he purchased the earrings was a young man
of very dark complexion, and about the height of the pri-
suner.

The mother of the child said her daughter wore
gold wires exactly like those in court, but ehe could not
positively swear that they were hers.
Mr. Pollard, on the part of the Treasury, appeared to
conduct the prosecution, but as he had received his in-
structions so very lately, he had to apply for a remand.
The prisoner's counsel and the prisoner himself protested
against any further remand, but Mt. Barker said he should
remand the prisoner for another week.

THE SMOKE NUISANCE.
Lord REDESDAL NI called attention to the great in-
crease he had observed lately of the quantity of smoke

- STATUTE LA...W REVISION BILL.
On the motion that this bill be read a third time,
Mr. HENNESSY repeated several of his objections to
this bill, which he said would repeal some enactments
which ought not to be repealed, and leave untouched others
which were virtually of no use on the statute-book. The
bill, which consisted of 198 clauses, was full of anomalies,
and ought not to be hurriedly passed at the fag end of the
session. Some old acts would be mutilated, such as Magna
Charter, and for all practical purposes the bill would be
anin-
operative. In conclusion, he moved, as amendment
that it be read a third time this day week. ,
Mr. L YGON seconded the motion.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL replied—The bill had
been carefully prepared by eminent gentlemen of the greatest
legal experience, who had devoted years to its compilation.
All the objections raised by the hon. and learned gentlemen
were utterly baseless. The hon. and learned gentleman had
evidently employed his leisure in dipping into some legal
books, and the result was his picking ny,L., a smattering of
information of the most superficial nature, which he had
abundantly displayed in his opposition to the bill.
He had raised no real objection to the bill, which,
in the opinion of lawyers on both sides of the house,
would constitute a great boon to the professors of the law
and the general public. In truth, the hon. and learned
gentleman evinced no knowledge on the subjects with which
ho had dealt, and yet asked the house to withdraw its confi-
dence from those who possessed great knowledge on the
matter, es abundantly evinced in the laborious preparation
of this measure, which had been in preparation since 1859.
Mr. HENNESSY withdrew his motion, and the bill was
read a third time, and passed.
EXHIBITION MEDALS BILL.
Mr. MILNER moved the second reading of this bill, and
asked the house to go at once into committee, that it might
be read a third time this evening, or Mondry. The object
of the measure was to provide, otherwise than by costly
civil process for the punishment of persons falsely repre-
senting themselves as the owners of medals.

The bill passed through committee. Third reading on
Monday.
