THE BRITISH MUSEUM.

Earl STANHOPE said that he had given notice of his
intention to bring forward a motion on the subject of the
British Museum, and Mr. Walpole had given a similar
motion in the other house. It appears, however, that the
Government had devised a plan that would remedy the
deficiencies in the present system of the management of the
British Museum. Such being the case, it was considered
advisable by the trustees of the institution that no discus-
sion should at present take place on this subject. His
friend, Mr. Walpole, had withdrawn his motion, and he
would follow his example.
PUBLIC' SCHOOLS BILL.
On the motion of the Earl of CLARENDON this bill
was read a third time.
BRITISH IZ AFFRARIA BILL.
• The Duke of ARGYLL, in moving the second reading of
this bill, explained the circumstances which led to its being
deemed advisable for the legislature to interfere. The
Government of the Cape of Good Hope had impressed upon
the British Government the necessity of dealing with the
question of annexing Kaffraria to the Cape, and the object
of the bill was to enable the Governor of the colony to
take that course in the event of the legislature of the Cape
of Good Hope not undertaldng it themselves. However,
before vesting that power in the. Governor, it gave the le-
gislature of the Cape the authority to make the annexation
themselves.
Lord LYVEDEN approved of the bill in some particu-
lars, but he strongly objected giving the power proposed
to the governor, and he believed the effect of annexing this
military frontier would be to drive the Kaffirs further
into the country, and eventually lead to another Kaffir
war.

Earl TAUNTON also objected to the bill.
The Duke of ARGYLL, in reply, said the time had
arrived when legislation on this subject had become indis-
pensable, and it was impossible that matters could bo
allowed to remain in their present state.
The bill was then read a second time.

THAMES.

DARING ROBBERY.—Peter Sullivan and John English,
two Irish labourers, were brought before Mr. Paget,
charged with stealing an ingot of tin, weighing 581b5., and
valued at £3, from the ship Clotilde, in the London Dock.
The prisoners had been at work for a stevedore on board
the Clotilde, and there were ingots of tin in the vessel,
which the prisoners interfered with. They were directed
by another man, named Ryan, not to meddle with the tin.
At a late hour the prisoners and five other men all came to
the gate of the " Shadwell basin" together, and, in defiance
of the night watchman stationed there, all attempted to
rush out together, without the customary rubbing down,
to which all dock labourers are subjected on leaving
the place. Sullivan, who had something concealed in a
coat under his arm, alone got out of the dock. The other
men wero detained. Sullivan was pursued by a Custom-
house officer, a Thames police constable, and others, but
he made his escape. Ho dropped from under his arm in
his retreat something bulky. It turned out to be an ingot
of tin which was exactly similar to other ingots of the
same metal on board the Clotilde. The ingot was wrapped
up in a coat which two witnesses proved to belong to
English. He was wearing it while at work in the ship..

Mr. Paget committed the prisoner's for trial.
CHARGE AND COUNTER CHARGE.—SamueI King, an
Irish labourer, who had received a serious wound on the
head, and Catherine King, his wife, were charged with
assaulting Enos Parrott, a police-constable, No. 56 H.
The policeman stated that he saw the prisoners in a
door-way in Leman-street, Whitechapel, last night. Sus-
pecting their intentions wore dishonest he questioned them,
on which the male prisoner struck him on the cheek. He
took him into custody. A struggle took place and both
fell, the prisoner under, and he received a wound on his head.
The woman then " pitched into him," pulled his hair and
whiskers and scratched him. He procured assistance, and
the prisoners were secured.

The prisoner Samuel King, in his defence, said the police-
man shoved him about without pretence or provocation,
and that when he asked him what he meant by such tyran-
nical condUct he drew his staff and beat him With it. The
wound on his head was inficted by the policeman with his
staff.

The complainant repeated that the wound was inflicted
by the prisoner falling on the stones. A mate of a ship in
the London Docks saw the whole occurrence, and signed
the charge sheet, but he was unable to attend.
Mr. Paget said the case was of too much importance to
the public to be hastily decided. He remanded the pri-
soners, and granted a summons for the attendance of the
male.

POEMS BY EDMUND FALCONER.
• Also, by the same Author (Second Edition),
MEMORIES, THE BEQUEST OF MY BOYHOOD.

"From what we have said it will be sem that there are
few of Mr. Falconer's fellows of the stage with whom he inly
be compared. A poet's skill is best tested by his treatment
of the theme of love and womankind, and here Mr. Falconer
comes off most creditably."—Athenmum.
" The pozms of sentiment are not sentimental poems. They
are full of feeling, tenderly expressed. In verses of character
the author proves himself to be an artist who can limn boldly
and correctly, and as a writer of ballads we think he will be
remembered. were it only for his 'Anne Hathaway.' "—Dub-
lin Evening Mail.
"No one can read this volume of poems without detecting
the ring of the genuine metal ; all of them are full of thought
—some pervaded with a fine tenderness of feeling."—Dum-
fries and Galloway Courier. ,

"Versatility is the distinguishing peculiarity of the genius
of Mr. Falconer. The poems here collected are singularly
various. Cordially we congratulate Mr. k'alconer on the pub-
lication of effusions such as these poems."—The London
hvening Sun.

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVEIN'ING, MARCH 14, 1865,

Sudden Death of the Rev. Mr. Davis,

Chaplain of Newgate•

This morning when one of the omnibuses leaving the
London-bridge Railway Terminus, arrived opposite the
Mansion-house, one of the passengers, who was dis-
covered to be the Rev. Mr. Davis, Ordinary of Newgate,
was found quite dead. The rev. gentleman was in a sitting
position with his head thrown back, and the excitement
sueh a circumstance created was very great. Medical
assistance was immediately procured, but all was useless,
and the rev. gentleman, it is supposed, must have died im-
mediately he entered the vehicle, which he did on leaving
the train which conveyed him from his residence, at
Lewisham, this morning to the metropolis. The body was
removed to Newgato, where it now awaits a coroner's
inquest.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A CHILD SYSTEMATICALLY TAKEN TO THEATRES, &C.,
FOR THE PURPOSE OF PICKING POCKETS.—Caroline Latter,
a well-dressed little girl, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt
with loitering in the entrance of St. James's Hall for the
purpose of picking pockets.
Sergeant Edwin Coathupe, of the detective force, said--
About half-past four yesterday afternoon I observed the
prisoner pushing her way into St. James's Hall as the
audience were leaving at the Piccadilly entrance. I saw
her place herself by the side of a lady, and then put her
left hand into the lady's right hand dress pocket. As the
lady had not lost anything on my speaking to her, she de-
clined to attend, although she said she had her purse and
a handkerchief in her pocket at the time. The prisoner gave
her address 96, Gray's-inn-lane, and said she was living
with a female there. This I found to be true. I also ascer-
tained that the prisoner had no parents. My reason for
bringing her here is, that she has been sent away from
nearly every theatre and place of amusement in London,
generally being found in the best dressed parts of the
places, to which she was sometimes taken and left either
by an elderly man or woman.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—How old is the girl ?
Sergeant doathupe—She gave her age as 11.
The prisoner—l am 14.

Mr. Tyrwhitt—l am afraid you are in very bad hands.
You have been seen hanging about the crowds at theatres,
and from your appearance are one likely to succeed in
robbing persons without being suspected. I shall remand
you to see what can be done with you.

POOR LAWS.

Col. NORTH asked the Secretary to the Poor Law Board
if, by article 115 of the General Consolidated Order of the
Poor Law Board, dated July 24, 1847, any pauper suffering
from small-pox or other infectious disorders could insist
upon leaving the workhouse, in opposition to the opinion
of the doctor, upon giving to the master, or, during his ab-
sence or inability to act, to the matron, a reasonable notice
of his or her wish to do so.

Viscount ENFIELD said neither master nor matron of
any workhouse had power to compel any person to remain
in the workhouse.

THE BUDGET.

In reply to Mr. J. WHITE,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
intended to bring forward his annual financial statement

stances as to how I became possessed of it.

Thomas Smith, assistant to Mr. Upsall, pawnbroker,
Whitechapel-road, produced a ring pledged by Mrs.

Hurley.
Police-constable Ranger produced the duplicate given to
last witness by Smith.
Superintendent Durkin said beforo the prisoners were
removed from Bow-street Hurley said he wished to make

a communication to Mr. Lewis. He was taken to a private
room, and was told that whatever he said must be purely
voluntary. No promise of any sort was held out to him.
He then made a statement in Mr. Lewis's presence, which
he signed.
The statement was then put in.

Some other witnesses were then examined to prove the
identity of the several witnesses.
Mr. Beard hoped the females would be admitted to bail.

One of them, Mrs. Brewerton, was in a dying state from

consumption. He was instructed that she could give large
and responsible bail.

Mr. Lewis—Why, Mrs. Brewerton, four or five months
ago, kept an oyster stall in the streets, and that is the per-
son who, it is said, can get large and responsible bail.
Mrs. Brewerton—l kept an oyster-stall, did I. I should
just like to be serving you out there just now.
The Lord Mayor—l shall not admit any to bail.
The prisoners were then remanded for a week.

The Lock-out in the Iron Trade.

If the idea of sending men to North Staffordshire
to start the furnaces which, at the wages now offered
them, the North Staffordshire men refuse to work,
was ever seriously entertained by the masters, it
does not appear likely to be acted upon. Where
local meetings have been held the men have de-
clined to go, and individual opinions are similarly
expressed. There would seem therefore to be no
other course open upon which both sides may again
meet, without one having first sustained very seri-
ous losses, or the other endured prolonged terrible
suffering—and both occasion great public loss—than
that the North Staffordshire men should be either
persuaded or starved into returning to work.
During the early part of the struggle the North
Staffordshire men who happened to have wandered
into Sauth Staffordshire were accustomed to receive
their proportion of the relief which the Executive
were able to render to the North Staffordshire dis-
tricts from the hands of the secretary of the Execu-
tive, who also received for such members the smaller
amount of help which the North Staffordshire dis-
tricts were able to render. Now, however, no such
distribution is taking place. The Executive have no
funds for North Staffordshire, and the officers of the
district in that part of the county have sent word
that if their members want relief they must go to
North Staffordshire for it. But the amount of weekly
relief dispensed by the officers in North Staffordshire
does not form sufficient inducement for the men
who are away to return for such a purpose.
Emigration agents are busy endeavouring to in-
duce the men who are locked out to leave this coun-
try, and if the Executive should determine to re-
commend any scheme it will be accepted by a
large number of men. The Executive are receiving
frequent applications from men who are exemplary
for their industry and their general social habits to
know if any scheme has been yet approved. The
Executive are, however, reluctant to take this part
of the business in hand ; but it is their intention to
do so if it should be clear that the struggle is to be
a long one. Some are prepared to go .either to the
Federal States, with a view of continuing their occu-
pation in the New World, and others desire to leave
ironmaking, and emigrate to New Zealand. Their
phrase is that both in America and also in the
colonies " the working man is better thought of."
If the men should emigrate to any considerable
extent the result would be most favourable to those
who remain behind, and most unsatisfactory to the

A 3-inch or 12-pounder gun, designed by Major
Palliser, was last week subjected to a lengthened
endurance test at the proof butt in Woolwich Arse-
nal. The proof charge consisted of 1 lb. of powder
(the service charge of the 12-pounder field gun)
and increasing cylinders. The cylinders fired in
the last 20 rounds weighed each about 961 b., and
projected some distance beyond the muzzle of
the gun. The gun weighs iewt, and was
made by Messrs. Riches and Watts, millwrights,
of Norwich. It consists of a casing of cast-iron
round a wrought-iron coiled tube. The difficulties
attending this mode of construction would now
seem to have been entirely overcome by a course of
careful experiments which have been carried out
from time to time for eight or ten years. Thus the
causes of unsoundness in castings of this kind have
been ascertained and obviated. Should this mode
of construction succeed equally well in large cannon
it will not only prove very economical, but, in the
event of a sudden demand for guns, it will admit of
their being turned out with great rapidity. Major
Palliser's 7-inch 100-pounder gun, which was lately
tested up to 800 rounds, is in course of repair inthe
Royal gun factories at Woolwich, and will, it is
expected, be brought forward to be tested.
The following appointments and promotions were
made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Commander

LONDON, TUESDAY, MARCH 14, 1865.

The subject to which Mr. FITZGERALD called
the attention of the House last night is one of great
importance, and the right hon. gentleman was fully
justified in making it the theme of his discourse. In
some respects this debate was the most interesting
of the session, from the number of influential
speakers who took part in it, and from the significant
nature of the question itself. Mr. FITZGERALD
alluded to the report of Colonel JERVOIS
respecting the defences of Canada, and
requested the Government to impart in-
formation concerning it. There was great truth
in his remark that the wisest policy was to have
matters laid before the House in a straightforward
fashion, for such a course is not near so likely to
induce suspicion and engender angry feelings as
the reserved style which it is thought convenient
and deemed advisable to adopt in so many instances
where important questions are involved. Her
MAJESTY'S Government also fully merit the charge
imputed to them of having invested the subject with
the most unfavourable aspect in consequence of the
paper laid by them before Parliament, which docu-
ment gives the most unsatisfactory impression re-
specting the chances we should have in a war with
the United States. Mr. FITZGERALD performed his
awkward task with great discretion, and adopted a
conciliatory tone, which was wise and patriotic,
when we remember how apf the partizans of the
Federal Government are to pervert all that is said in a
discussion of this sort, and to declare that an angry tone
