MISS BATEMAN.—Drs. Billing and Chappell,
the medical attendants of Miss Bateman, have
positively interdicted that lady from resuming her engage-
ment at the Adelphi Theatre for the present. Miss Bate-
man is suffering from the effects of a severe cold, which
has attacked her throat, and which deprives her in great
part of the use of her voice, while at the same time it
precludes her from undergoing the physical exertion in-
cidental to the discharge of her professional duties. As
soon as her physicians give their consent Miss Bateman
will resume the character of Julia in the Hunchback,"
which indisposition alone compels her temp9rarily to dis-
continue.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

HOUSE OF LORDS—LAST EVENING.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
at five o'clock.

STANDING ORDERS.
Lord REDESDALE moved that all petitions presented
praying to be heard upon their merits, against any bill in
each of the classes mentioned in standing order 178, be
printed by the petitioners, and copies thereof deposited
in the office of the Clerk of the Parliament, at such time,
_end in such manner, as the chairman of committees shall
direct.—Agreed to.

IRISH CONSTABULARY.
In reply to Lord CumEyrs,
Earl GRANVILLE said that the orders under which
the Irish constabulary acted at present in excise matters
wore the same as those laid upon the table of the house in
1856.

THE POOR RATES.
Lord RAVENSWOR TIT presented a petition from
Hammersmith complaining of the gross inequality of the
poor rates between the metropolitan and suburban districts.
The noble lord having called the attention of the Govern-
ment to the statements contained in the petition, in
the course of his observations said the grievance of which
he complained resolved itself into one short solution, viz.,
that where the wealthy districts of the metropolis had the
benefit of the exertions of the working and industrious classes
the expense of supporting the poor, the sick, the aged, and
the infirm fell upon the suburban districts. The noble
lord concluded by asking the Government whether they
contemplated any measure of relief to the suburban dis-
tricts in their promised bill for the amendment of the Poor
Law Acts.

Earl GRANVILLE wasunderstood to say that although
her Majesty's Government intended to introduce a bill
to carry out certain recommendations of the committee
of the House of Commons of last session, to
which the noble lord had referred, they did not intend to
legislate specially for the metropolis.

THAMES.

A QUIET MORNOG.—There were only four night charges
at this court, three from the H division and one from the K
division. The district contains 300,000 inhabitants, besides
the St. Katherine, London, West India, and East India
Docks, in which there is always a large population of all
nations.

John Mullins, an Irishman, was charged with breaking a
large pane of embossed plate glass, valued at 305., in the
Black Horse publichouse, in Well-street, adjoining the
Sailor's Home.

The landlord of the house said his plate glass was in-
sured ; and Mr. Partridge sentenced him to pay a fine of
7s. only, or suffer 10 days' imprisonment.
Caroline Hawes was charged with making a disturbance
in the house of Mr. Palmer, baker, Hardwick-place, Com-
mercial-road. Her excuse was that she went after her
husband, who is in Mr. Palmer's employ.
Tho prosecutor said the husband of the prisoner was a
very hard working, steady, au sober man, and that his
wife was on the town.

Roche, the gaolor of the court, and Inspector Allison,
one of the IK division, said the prisoner was a very bad
woman, and had been frequently in custody.
The prisoner said her husband would not maintain her,
and she was compelled to have recourse to the streets.
Mr. Partridge said she must not annoy her husband's
master, and if she had any legal claim on her husband she
must apply to the officers of the parish in which she
lived.

Two cases of felony were then heard. In the one the
prisoner was discharged,
and the other remanded for a
week. The details were devoid of interest.
Mr. Partridge said he must congratulate the public on the
quiet state of the district, and adjourned the court for a
quarter of an hour. He ordered the court to be cleared for
the sake of ventilation. He would take the remanded cases
directly they were ready, and afterwards proceed with the
summonses and warrants.

Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day,

Market quiet, but steady. Sales, probably 5,000
bales.

The directors of the Trinidad Petroleum Company
have issued a circular to their shareholders, inform-
ing them that the provisional contract with the
vendor has now been completed, and with such
great advantage that the purchase of the lands and
estates in the island of Trinidad has been reduced to
less than one-third of the original amount. The
property being now vested in tne company, the sale
of asphaltum in the colony for paving and other
purposes, in Paris and elsewhere, which has hitherto
been between 4,000 and 8,000 tons per annum,
yielding a profit of 7s. 6d. per ton, will henceforth
be carried on for the sole benefit of the ,company.
The directors have tlfe gratification of announcing
that they have received notice by this mail that the
Colonial Government have ceded to the company
all the ungranted Crown portions of the Pitch Lake.
The iniormation and experience that they acquired,
justify the directors in announcing that the opera-
tions of the company can be profitably carried on,
either by distillation in Trinidad, or by the impor-
tation of the raw material to this country. The
directors consider that they have cause to congratu-
late the shareholders upon the condition and pros-
pects of the company ; and believe, that with their
cordial co-operation, the company, as a commercial
undertaking, will prove eminently successful.
During the last few days there has been a Mode-
rate amount of business transacted in the Foreign
and Colonial Produce Markets. Sugars have been
in fair request, at fully previous rates. For coffee
there has been a good demand, at about former
prices, while limited dealings have been reported in
rice, fruits, and spices, without any material change
in values. Tallow has been dull, and quotations for
both psesent and forward delivery exhibit a down-
ward movement.

The Share-list of John West and Co. (Limited)
will close on Wednesday next, the 22d inst.

FIRE AT A PRINTING AND STATIONERY WORKS AT
NEWTON.—About 3 o'clock yesterday morning a fire
broke out at the extensive works of Messrs. M'Corquodale
and Co. (Limited), at Newton. The fire originated in the
envelope department, but the cause is at present unknown.
It spread rapidly and gutted the building. No workpeople
were on the premises at the time. The amount of damage
done has not been yet ascertained, but the stock was in-
sured for £18,250, which it is believed will more than cover
the loss. It is a curious fact that a few months since the
entire premises of the same firm in Liverpool were con-
sumed by firo. The printing office at Newton, which was
some little distance from the stationery works, escaped.

WESTMINSTER.

THE MARQUIS OF TOWNSHEND Alin TURNING POOR
PAUPERS OUT OF WORKHOUSES.—When the presiding
magistrate, Mr. Selfe, took his seat on the bench this
morning, a communication was made to him by the Mar-
quis of Townshend, which was followed by a person of
respectable appearance, standing in the witness box at the
magistrate's request, to make a statement.
Applicant said he went last night to the outside of the
Westminster Workhouse, York-street, and there found a
number of poor persons without home or habitation, and
in a state of destitution. He felt it his duty to make some
inquiries amongst them, and they told him that they were
there for the purpose of obtaining shelter, and explained
to him that the course was to receive a ticket there from
the porter, which they took to the workhouse at Kensing-
ton, where they were admitted for the night, but deprived
of shelter by being turned out in the morning.
Mr. Selfe—What do you want?

Applicant—l wish to know whether in either the spirit
or the letter of the law such a thing is right as to eject a
poor person from the workhouse on such a morning as
this ?

Mr. Selfe—l must decline to give opinions upon either
the letter or the spirit of the law without any case
before me.

Applicant—What is the remedy for the poor who are
expelled from the workhouse into the inclemency of the
weather ?

Mr. Selfe—Tho course I should propose to you is to me-
morialise the Poor Law Board on the subject. Ido not at
any time shrink from the expression of my opinion in any
matter which comes under the cognisance of the Court, but
I cannot be expected to give general opinions upon the
propriety or impropriety of the exercise of the functions of
others exercising authority.

Marquis Townshend—Ten or twelve poor creatures
were turned out this morning, notwithstanding the great
severity of the weather.
Mr. Selfe—ls there any person here to complain of any-
thing over which I have jurisdiction ?
Applicant—One of the poor persons can be called ; they
are here.

A young man stood forward and said—l slept at Rona-
ford the night before last. I applied to the Westminster
Workhouse at 6 o'clock last night, and had an order I took
to Kensington last night.
Mr. Selfe—You do not seem by your appearance—which,
however, may be deceptive—to be unable to obtain your
living.

Poor Man—l have just come out of the fever hospital.

Mr. Selfe—Did you have any food when admitted last
night ?

Poor Man—Nothing—they refused me 1 'out they gave
me four ounces of bread this morning•

Mr. Belfe—What brings you tcdniestminster ?
Poor Man--I:wfis strongly r: _A;l.l3nozulai to go Moro. I
did not want to leave this morning.

Mr. Selfo—Your appearance is that of an able-bodied
man, and I don't think that a porter or person of that de-
scription, giving answers at the workhouse door, is required
to do more. He certainly would not be the person required
to give permanent relief. When is the relieving-officer
sitting?
The police said at that moment.
The poor man and those by whom he was accompanied
were directed by the magistrate to go to him.

DAY.

Lord R. CECIL moved that the Speaker be requested to
give directions that a copy of all notices of motions and
orders of the day standing in the order book of the house,
be circulated among members every Saturday morning.
The SPEAKER said that there would not be much diffi-
culty as regarded the printing, and the expense would be
trifling, therefore he had given an order to meet the object
of the motion oft he
NAVY noble lord.
ESTIMATES. _ _

Lord C. PA GET brought up the report on the Navy
Estimates, which was ordered to lie on the table.
NATIONAL EDUCATION.

Mr. BRUCE, in laying papers on the table, said that
some minute alterations had been introduced into the
Government system in order to render it more efficient. So
far as populous parishes were concerned the subject worked
well, but as regarded less populated parishes the contrary
was the case. The right hon. gentleman cited several
in confirmation of his statement, and said the alterations
would relate to the inspection of schools and other details,
and the papers on the subject would be laid on the table
within one calendar month after the assembling of Parlia-
ment.

In reply to Sir J. PAKINOTON,
Mr. BRUCE said he had consulted the Speaker, and as-
certained that it would be informal to give notice of his
(Mr. Bruce's) intention to make any motion on this Budget,
but he would afford, in private, to hon. members every in-
formation. (Hear, hear.)

Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day,

Market quiet, but steady. Sales, probably 5,000
bales.

The directors of the Trinidad Petroleum Company
have issued a circular to their shareholders, inform-
ing them that the provisional contract with the
vendor has now been completed, and with such
great advantage that the purchase of the lands and
estates in the island of Trinidad has been reduced to
less than one-third of the original amount. The
property being now vested in tne company, the sale
of asphaltum in the colony for paving and other
purposes, in Paris and elsewhere, which has hitherto
been between 4,000 and 8,000 tons per annum,
yielding a profit of 7s. 6d. per ton, will henceforth
be carried on for the sole benefit of the company.
The directors have the gratification of announcing
that they have received notice by this mail that the
Colonial Government have ceded to the company
all the ungranted Crown portions of the Pitch Lake.
The iniormation and experience that they acquired,
justify the directors in announcing that the opera-
tions of the company can be profitably -carried on,
Other by distillation in Trinidad, or by the impor-
tation of the raw material to this country. The
directors consider that they have cause to congratu-
late the shareholders upon the condition and pros-
pects of the company ; and believe, that with their
cordial co-operation, the company, as a commercial
undertaking, will prove eminently successful.
During the last few days there has been a mode-
rate amount of business transacted in the Foreign
and Colonial Produce Markets. Sugars have been
in fair request, at fully previous rates. For coffee
there has been a good demand, at about former
prices, while limited dealings have been reported in
rice, fruits, and spices, without any material change
in values. Tallow has been dull, and quotations for
both psesent and forward delivery exhibit a down-
ward movement.

The Share-list of John West and Co. (Limited)
will close on Wednesday next, the 22d inst.

EXCISION OF THE TONGUE.—Newspaper readers
will not fail to remember that two distressing cases
of excision of the tongue have occurred within the last
two or three years ; and, as these cases terminated fatally,
it seems only fair to record the fact that a successful case
of excision of the tongue has recently taken place. The
patient was a Manchester man, the operation was performed
in Edinburgh by Professor Syme, without the aid of chlo-
roform, arid the unhappy sufferer, who for some time after
the operation returned to his own home, has since written
to Professor Syme stating that he never felt better in his
Ale than 110W.—Scotonan.

POLICE INTELLIGENCES—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

CONVICTION FOR SELLING SFIRITS WITHOET A LICENSE—
£5O Fm.—Blaze Rosetti, wine merchant, of No. 51, King-
street, Regent-street, was charged before Mr. Knox on a
warrant, by Inspector Bowles, of the C division, "for that
he did, at a certain place, unlawfully sell certain spirits, to
wit, brandy and gin, without being licensed for that pur-
pose, at 51, King-street, St. James's."
A quantity of spirits found in the prisoner's house, and
taken possession of by the police, were produced in court.
Police-constable Charles Butcher, 137 C, said—Last
Sunday evening about 12 o'clock I went to the prisoners
house,where he carries on the business of a wine merchant,
I had two other men with me, and we went in the front
parlour, and the prisoner came up from the kitchen. I
asked him if he sold wine, and he said he did. Ono of the
men within then called for a bottle of claret, for which he
paid ls., and the other asked for a bottle of port and paid
Is. 61 for it. I then asked the prisoner if he sold brandy,
and he said he did, and that he had plenty of good cognac
and gin and wine at different prices. I said I would take
a bottle of brandy, and I purchased one, paying the pri-
soner 3s. 6d. for it, and one of the others purchased a bottle
of gin and paid for it.

Thos. Abel llunt, of No. 33, Grosvenor-mews, one of the
men spoken of by the constable, said—l purchased a bottle
of gin of the prisoner and paid him for it.
Mr. James Morrish Osmond, division officer of Excise—
The place is licensed for the sale of wine but not spirits.
Inspector Bowles—Last night I apprehended the pri-
soner and found in a cupboard several bottles of brandy,
gin, and rum, several wine-glasses, and a number of bot-
tles of ale.

Mr. Knox—Are there any previous convictions against
the prisoner ?
Inspector Bowles—There are not, but he has long been
suspected of selling spirits, especially on Sunday
mornings.

Mr. Knox—Prisoner, do you wjsh to say anything?
Prisoner—l am guilty.
Butcher—He has been carrying on the practice for years,
but in consequence of it being a private house it has been
difficult to get proof.
Mr. Knox—The prisoner is liable to be fined £2OO. The
police
.had stated that they believed the prisoner had been
carrying it on for years. I will not go to the full extent,
but shall fine him £5O, or three months
