POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ROBBERY AT THE EAST INDIA UNITED SERVICE CLUB.—
Joseph Bliss, a young man in the employ of Mr. William
Andrews, master sweep, Angel-court, King-street, St.
James's, was charged before Mr. Mansfield with stealing
at the East India United Service Club two meerschaum
pipes, the property of Major Thomas Keernan, a member
of the club.

Mr. Wrg. Stretch, steward of the club, said—On Friday
fortnight the prisoner came to the clubhouse, 14, St. James's-
square to sweep a chimney. Having finished his job, in-
stead of leaving he went up to the smoking-room, telling
one of the servants who met him on the stairs that he had
business there. Shortly after, two merschaum pipes, tho
property of Major Keernan, a member of the club, were
missed, and 1 subsequently received them from prisoner's
master.

Tyrrell, 590 A.-1 apprehended prisoner yesterday, and
on telling him he was charged with stealing two pipes from
the East India United Service Club, he replied, " Oh, that's
all settled."

Mr. William Andrews, master sweep, of Angel-court,
King-street, St. James's—The prisoner was in my employ
on the night the pipes were missed. I spoke to the pri-
soner, and he admitted taking them, and handed them to

Mr. Mansfield—Why was there such delay in giving the
prisoner into custody ?
Witness—lt was not decided what course should be taken
till Major Keernan was seen.
Inspector Draper—The boy was discharged by Mr. An-
drews and could not be found.
Prisoner—l am guilty. I have worked hard all my life.
Mr. Mansfield—What did you mean by saying it was
settled ?
Prisoner—l understood that, if I gave the property up,
the gentleman would not prosecute.
Mr. Andrews—l told him I did not know what course
would be pursued till they heard from Major Keernan. I
always believed the prisoner to be honest.
Mr. Mansfield—l cannot help thinking the prisoner re-
turned the property under some impression that if he did so
he would not be prosecuted.
Remanded.

EAST SURREY.

Owing to failing health, Mr. T. Alcock, who has long
represented East Surrey, will retire from Parliament at the

bury, and Co.), at present member for Maidstone, will come
forward, in conjunction with Mr. Locke Xing, to solicit
the suffrages of the electors of East Surrey.

HULL

A meeting has been held here for the purpose of consider-
ing the propriety of inviting a second Liberal to contest the
borough, in conjunction with Mr. Clay. A resolution was
adopted that the meeting should support Mr. Clay, and a
committee was formed to prepare for the ensuing election.
The question of the proposed second Liberal candidate was
discusse 1, but without result.

ESSEX.

The activity of the Essex politicians has sustained no
check. Sir Thomas Western, the Liberal candidate for
North Essex, has been addressing meetings of the electors
in every part of the division ; and his opponents, Major
Beresford, M.P., and Mr. C. Du Cane, M.P., the present
sitting members, are equally active. At Harwich, Mr. Kelk
has been formally accepted as a Conservative candidate in
conjunction with Captain Jervis, M.P. ; Mr. M. Wills is a
Liberal candidate. Mr. Kelk says in his address that as a
Liberal-Conservative he intends to adopt the principles of
Lord Derby, believing them to be those most conducive to
the interests of the country. He is opposed to interven-
tion in foreign affairs, but at the same time strenuously ad-
vocates the maintenance of an efficient army, navy, and
volunteer force. Mr. Kelk, after adding that he is disposed
to adjust as far as possible all inequalities of taxation, pro-
fesses himself a " true Churchman," at the same time ad-
vocating freedom of worship for all creeds. Mr. 0. E.
Coope has declined to contest South Essex in the Conser-
vative interest. Mr. Coope says :
After giving the subject my fullest consideration, and
consulting those on whose judgment I have every reason
to rely—it appearing that some of my farming friends and
others, possibly under a misconception that their interests
and mine are not identical, seemed disposed to withhold
the support I had naturally expected, I am brought to the
conviction that in withdrawing my name without delay I
am best consulting the interests of the Conservative cause."
Mr. H. J. Selwin, who was to have contested the divi-
sion with Mr. Coope, is ready to do so, but some other gen-
tleman will have to be found to stand with him in the Con-
servative interest. Mr. R. B. Baker, the Liberal candidate,
has not yet issued his address.

the council are entitled to consideration when they
state in their report that " they have a right to
claim aid and support, not from the medical man
only, but from that public in whose service the
medical man spends his days, for whom his time
and energy, and too often his life, are sacrificed."

It is always to be regretted if by bad manage-
ment the public money is wasted or misapplied, and
too much care cannot be taken to prevent such a
mischance occurring. The proposal to present a
gratuity of £lO,OOO to Mr. BAZALGETTE, the engi-
neer, and his assistants, has met with disapprobation
in various quarters, and it is no wonder that it
should have done so, for it appears inconsistent in
the extreme. Communications have been received
from several places protesting against the plan.
One from the vestry of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields,
raised the question as to whether it was legal to
apply the rates, which were raised for the main
drainage works, to such a purpose. A more unwise
thing could hardly have been done than thus to pro-
voke a discussion of an angry nature and to create dis-
content among the public. There is already suffi-
cient hesitation displayed in paying rates without
adding to it by introducing fresh claims on the re-
sources, and thereby necessitating increased de-
mand, thus rendering the burden intolerable. The
irritation thus produced throughout the metropolis
has been very considerable, and fully exemplifies the
feeling created by the proposal. The St. Pancras
Representative Council and the Marylebone Repre-
sentative Council both passed resolutions to the
effect that the plan was an erroneous one, and these
were carried unanimously. It was truly observed at
the Marylebone meeting that the proposal was as
yet premature, and that it would be better to wait
until the entire main drainage works were completed
in an effectual manner, and then_the Government
should take the matter up, and there should be a
national grant " to the men who had designed and
carried out the magnificent and stupendous works
of the Metropolitan Main Drainage." This is a
very wise suggestion, and it is to be hoped that the
Metropolitan Board will take heed to the warnings
it has received, and abandon the scheme which re-
flects so little credit on their sagacity, and has
created so much ill-will and confusion among those
who are to be called upon to contribute to the sums
extravagantly disposed of. A more unpopular pro-
position has seldom emanated from a Board which
at no time contrives to win the confidence or secure
the favour of the numerous bodies who are concerned
in the furtherance of its projects.

THE CITY OF LONDON.

Sir James Duke, after a service of no less than 16 years,
will, it is understood, not offer himself for re-election. Mr.
Alderman Lawrence will be proposed to supply the vacancy
thus created, and the three other sitting members—Baron
Rothschild, Mr. Crawford, and Mr. Goschen—will, it is be-
lieved, be returned without opposition.

TENBURY AND BEWDLEY.

A special meeting of this comp-any wa s held on
Wednesday ; Sir E. Blount in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN moved a resolution authorising
the directors to create and issue I neferenve shares
to the amount of £20,000 at inter( st of £1 10s. per
cent. per annum, to take priority all other shares
of the company.
This resolution was carried tin Animously, as also
was another resolution authorii ,ing the directors to
issue and dispose of the unissu aed reserve and for-

felted ordinary shares of the tqmpany upon such
terms as they may think fit.

Mr. BARBER then moved that 100 of the reserved
or unissued ordinary shares of the company be offered
to Lord Northwick, Sir E. Blount, Mr. Wheeler,
Mr. Davies, and Mr. Baiugham, five of the directors,
in recognition of their services. Mr. Barber men-
tioned that the directors had up to this time received
no compensation for the trouble they had under-
taken, and that they had, in the discharge of their
duties as directors, attended 66 meetings.
Mr. CRANSTOUN seconded the resolution.
Colonel LOWE moved as an amendment that the
offer be postponed until the railway was in a more
flourishing condition.
Only two votes, however, were given for the
amendment, and the original resolution was carried.

rA TEN TS (IRELAND).

Mr. LONGFIELD asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland
if Mr. Morrin had been empowered, in accordance with
the recommendation of the report of Messrs. Brewer and
Hardy, to continue the publication of the Patent and Close
Rolls of Ireland up to and including those of the reign of
James the First.
Sir R. PEEL said the hon. gentleman must address the
question to the Treasury.
ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE IN IRELAND.
Mr. D. GRIFFITH asked the Chief Secretary for Ire-

land whether the attention of the Government had been
drawn to a statement made by Mr. Justice Monahan, at
the County Down A s.sfres, on Friday, 10th March, that,
of certain persons engaged in a party riot on the
10th February, only the Catholics had been prosecuted,
and the Protestants allowed to go free ; and. whether the
Government would take measures to insure in future that
all persons transgressing the law in Ireland, or whatever
religious denomination or party, should be rendered
equally amenable to the impartial administration of justice.
Sir R. Peel and Chief Justice Monaghan had not yet made
any report on the matter to the Government. He had made
inquiries in the matter, and the committee who had decided
the matter was composed of an equal number of Roman
Catholics, and Protestants. They were of opinion that there
was a case against the Roman Catholics, but not against
the Protestants. He did not, at present, think that Chief
Justice Monaghan was justified in saying that was any
partial administration of justice. (Loud cries of "Hear,
hear.")

RAILWAY TRAVELLING.
Sir W. GALL WEY read an account of an accident that
had occurred on one of the principal lines of railways, and
asked whether any active steps were about to be taken. by
the Government for the purpose of insisting upon a means
of communication between the guard and engine driver.
Mr. M. GIBSON—He could not tell the hon. gentleman
how long they would have to wait before such an arrange-
ment was perfected. The whole subject was before a
commission, and they were taking evidence on the sub-
ject generally, and until they had made their report, hon.
gentlemen must be content to wait.

Capt. DlXON—Supposing the committee do not report
for the next two years ?
Mr. M. GIBSON said he must decline to speculate.
The commissioners would make a full inquiry, and for that
purpose they would take proper time.

MARKETS---This Day.

MARK-LANE.

Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of home-
grown wheat were very moderate. The condition of the
produce, though somewhat improved, was but middling, and
all good and fine samples moved off steadily, at full prices.
Out-of-condition wheats met a slow sale, at late rates.
With most descriptions of foreign wheat the market was
but moderately supplied. The trade, however, was de-
cidedly inactive, but without leading to any quotable change,
in prices from Monday. _ _ _ .

Floating cargoes of grain were in fair demand, and prices
ruled firm.

There was a moderate supply of barley on offer. The
trade was dull for all qualities, at Monday's currency.
Malt changed hands to a limited extent, at late rates.
There was a fair average supply of oats on the stands.
Good and fine samples steadily supported previous quota-
tions ; otherwise the oat trade was dull, on former terms.
Beans met a slow sale, and prices had a drooping ten-
dency. In the value of peas no change took place.
Flour was in moderate request, at late rates.

CALCUTTA AND SOUTH-EASTERN.

A special meeting of this company was held at
the offices, Gresham-house, Old Broad-street, for
the purpose of considering, and if approved, con-
firming, the special resolutions passed at the extra-
ordinary general meeting of the 16th ult. ; Mr. J.
Borrodaile in the chair.

The resolutions in question authorised the direc-
tors to borrow on debentures further sums not exceed-
ing £lOO,OOO, at a rate of interest not exceeding 5 per
cent. per annum, for five years, and to be renewable for
a like period at the option of the holders ; and the
latter were to be allowed to convert the debentures
into shares or stock at any time before they became
due on giving one month's notice of their intention
of doing so.

The resolutions were formally confirmed.
The CHAIRMAN said that when they last met he
mentioned that an important company was being
formed, from which the Calcutta and South-Eastern
were likely to receive considerable benefit. That
undertaking, the Port Canning and Land Invest-
ment Reclamation and Dock Company, had been
brought out with success. The capital was £1,000,000,
and the shares were now at a very high premium.
It was supported by a great many houses in Calcutta,
and by a very powerful Bombay interest ; and as its
objects were to construct works which must neces-
sarily contribute largely to the traffic of the Calcutta
and South-Eastern line, he thought the shareholders

selves upon the formation of the .new undertaking.
(Hear.) The public in Calcutta had formerly a
strong feeling against the company's railway ; but
he was happy to say that the feeling was now as
strongly in favour of it.

A vote of thanks to the chairman and directors
concluded the proceedings.

RAILWAY BILLS.

Yesterday the Lords' Committee passed the Laun-
ceston, Bodmin, and Wadebridge Junction Bill,
which was erroneously stated the day before as
having been rejected.

of the London, Brighton, and South Coast (St.
Leonard's line and deviations) was commenced.

taken. Mr. Phinn, Q.C., opened the case of the
London and South Western (Kensington, &c.) Mr.
Venables, Q.C., opened the promoter's case of the
Okehampton Railway (No. 2) Bill. In the case of

marnock Extension. The referees took into consi-
deration the North Surrey and the East London
Railway Bills.

mated cost of the bridge across the Forth was
£650,000 altogether, of which their share would
be £254,000, and that there was every intention
on their part of carrying out faithfully the agree-
ment made with the North British Railway Com-
pany.

Resolutions were passed adopting-the report, de-
claring the dividends on the preference stocks, and
also at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum on the
ordinary stock of the company. The retiring direc-
tors and auditor were re-elected, and a vote of thanks
to the chairman concluded the proceedings.

NEW ZEALAND.

On the order for going into committee of supply,
Sir J. TRELAWNY asked the Colonial Secretary
whether the proclamation made by the Governor of New

Zealand in December last, so far as it was favourable to the

natives, would be carried out in good faith, or whether the
proclaimation was to be afterwards interpreted and acted
upon by the governor himself, as had been done in the case
of the treaty of Waitangi, the violation of which by Gover-
nor Brown was the cause of the unfortunate rebellion
which had since broken out.
Mr. CARD WELL vindicated the conduct of Governor
Brown with regard to the treaty of Waitangi, and observed
that he had not the slightest suspicion that the Governor
of New Zealand and his Ministers intended any breach of
faith, and certainly no instructions would proceed from the
Colonial-office which would have any tendency of that
kind or be conceived in any such spirit. The right hon.
gentleman added, in answer to Mr. Lyra.' and Sir H. Wil-
loughby, that in the present year there had been a consi-
derable increase in the contributions of the colony of
Mauritius for military expenditure, and that advances by
the Treasury to New Zealand ceased in 1863.
Mr. TREHKRNE called attention to the distressed con-
dition of his constituents, the ribbon weavers of Coventry,
and drew a lamentable picture of the state of the manufac-

ture, which he said had, under the operation of the com-
mercial treaty with France, been brought to the verge of
ruin. He inquired whether any communication had taken
place between the British Government and that of France
with a view to the modification of the treaty.
Mr. WHITE said that one would infer from the speech
of his hon. friend that the ribbon trade of France was
flourishing at the expense of Coventry, but so far was that

from being the case he had lately received information that
the manufacturers of St. Etienne were themselves in a de-
plorable condition. The truth was, that the ribbon trade
was peculiarly liable to the caprice of fashion ; and if in-
stead of appealing to the house his hon. friend could use
some occult influence with an illustrious lady in a neigh-
bouring country, who was the arbitress of fashion through-
out Europe, we might possibly witness the revival of pros-
perity in this branch of industry.

Mr. GIBSON sympathised with the ribbon weavers, but
had no faith in legislation for a remedy of their distress.
An application was made to French Government last year
with a view to the procuring a reduction of the import
duty on English ribbons ; and in reply it was stated that
in consequence of the commercial treaty with Switzerland,
English ribbons would shortly be admitted into France,
under the favoured nation clause, at a reduction in the rate
of duty from 8 francs per kilogramme to 4 francs, or to 3i
per cent. ad valorem.

Some observations on the same subject were also made
by Mr. NEWDEGATE and Mr. G. P. BENTOEK.

ARMSTRONG AND WHITWORTH GUNS.

Mr. H. BAILLIE asked the Under-Secretary of State for
War whether, in the competition which had been carried
on between Armstrong and Whitworth guns, they have
been tested by oblique firing.
The Marquis of HARTINGTON said arrangements for
firing were left to the committee reporting upon the matter.
The experiment to which the hon. member had referred
had not yet been tried, but he believe it was about to be
made by those in charge of the subject.
RECRUITING FOR THE ARMY.
Mr. O'REILLY asked the Under-Secretary of State for
War whether, since the year 1829, any orders or instruc-
tions had been given by the military authorities to office] s
charged with the duty ofrecruiting, not to take Irish or
Roman Catholic recruits for either the Guards, Artillery,
Cavalry' or any other branch of her Majesty's military
service ?
The Marquis of ITARTINGTON said no such orders
had been issued either from the Horse Guards or the War-
office.
London, England, 1865-03-17

PATENTS (IRELAND).

Mr. LONGFIELD asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland
if Mr. Morrin had been empowered, in accordance with
the recommendation of the report of Messrs. Brewer and
Hardy, to continue the publication .of- the Patent and Close
Rolls of Ireland up to and including those of the reign of
James the First.

Sir R. PEEL said the hon. gentleman must address the
question to the Treasury.
ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE IN IRELAND.
Mr. D. GRIFFITH asked the Wei Secretary for Ire-

land whether the attention of the Government had been
drawn to a statement made by Mr. Justice Monahan, at
the County Down Assizes, on Friday, 10th March, that,
of certain persons engaged in a party riot on the
10th February, only the Catholics had bean prosecuted,
and the Protestants allowed to go free ; and whether the
Government would take measures to insure in future that
all persons transgressing the law in Ireland, or whatever
religious denomination or party, should be rendered
equally amenable to the impartial administration of justice.
Sir R. Peel and Chief Justice Monaghan had not yet made
any report on the matter to the Government. He had made
inquiries in the matter, and the committee who had decided
the matter was composed of an equal number of Roman
Catholics, and Protestants. They were of opinion that there
was a case against the Roman Catholics, but not against
the Protestants. He did not, at present, think that Chief
Justice Monaghan was justified in saying that was any
partial administration of justice. (Loud cries of " Hear,
hear.")

RAILWAY TRAVELLING.
Sir W. GALLWEY read an account of an accident that
had occurred on one of the principal lines of railways, and
asked whether any active steps were about to be taken by
the Government for the purpose of insisting upon a means
of communication between the guard and engine driver.
Mr. M. GIBSON—He could not tell the hon. gentleman
how long they would have to wait before such an arrange-
ment was perfected. The whole subject was before a
commission, and they were taking evidence on the sub-
ject generally, and until they had made their report, hon.
gentlemen must be content to wait.

Capt. DlXON—Supposing the committee do not report
for the next two years ?
Mr. M. tIBSON said he must decline to speculate.
The commissioners would make a full inquiry, and for that
purpose they would take proper time.

EXECUTION AT DURHAM

DURHAM, Thursday.

Matthew Atkinson was this day executed for
the murder of his wife at a place called Winlaton,
in the county of Durham, on the 18th September
last.

At the trial on the 14th inst. he was found guilty,
and when asked what he had to urge why sentence
should not be passed, said that he had led a most
unhappy life, and that during the past year he had
fetched his wife no less than seven times from
another man's house. He was drunk at the time
of the occurrence, and although several of the
neighbours knew he was beating her, and heard her
screams of " murder" continue for upwards of an
hour, they did not attempt to interfere, from his
known character for brutality and ruffianism. Some
hours after he called some neighbours into the room
and said, " I have done for her now." After
sentence he said, addressing the judge, " Thank
you, my lord, I am prepared to die at any
time."
His conduct since his condemnation has been
orderly and quiet. Ile appeared resigned to his
fate, and felt remorse for the deed he had per-
petrated.
At precisely five minutes past eight this morning
the prisoner, accompanied by the usual officials, ap..
peared upon the scaffold, Askern being the execu-
tioner. When all the paraphernalia which is ne-
cessary for carrying out thedexaercouution had been
adjusted, the bolt was withdrawn, thewnhdenar osse sound.

A few moments after the chaplain, followed by
Atkinson, again mounted the scaffold. The latter
stepped on the drop firm and collected, although a
blood-red mark round the neck testified to the
severity of the terrible tug which it had experienced
by the breaking of the rope. Askern, who seemed
determined that no new mishap should occur, spent
a great deal of time in adjusting the new rope and
pulling the noose tight, an operation which drew
forth from the mob fresh hisses. The dying
struggles of the unfortunate man were horrible,

BOROUGH HOP.

The supply of hops on sale is very moderate. For good
and fine English, as well as foreign qualities, there is a
steady demand, and prices rule firm. Inferior hops are a
dull inquiry, at about previous rates.
