district to grant a spirit license to the Argyll-rooms, Wind-
mill-street, and the London Pavilion, Tichborne-street,
were heard to-day.
The decisions were confirmed and the licenses refused.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—( This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

DARING ROBBERY AT A JEWELLER'S.—SamueI Boris,
a Hungarian, was charged, before Mr. Bingham, with
stealing a gold watch from the shop of Mr. Moses Berkis"
min, jeweller, of 39, llanway-street, Oxford-street, under
the following daring circumstances :
Mrs. Rosetta Moses said that about nine the previous
night the prisoner came into the shop and said he NVallted
to purchase a gold watch hanging in the window, and u°t
liking altogethr his appearance she asked him to go out'
side and point out the one he wanted. He did so, and theu
returned to the shop, and she placed the watch on the
counter. The prisoner then said he also wanted a gold
chain, and, as soon as he had said so, seized up the watch
and rushed out of the shop. She pursued him, crying
out, " Stop, thief," and she afterwards saw the watch 5
the station• house, it being the same taken, and of the
value of £4 10s.
The prisoner, who said he was drunk at the time, but
which was positively denied, was committed for trial.

THE SOCIAL EVIL.—A Spanish Countess he;

THE ATTEMPTED COURT OUT.

The following letter appears in a contemporary :
Sir,—An attempt to count the house out this
evening deserves an explanation and exposure.
At the close of an hour and a half of declamation
from Sir Bulwer Lytton, the house thinned, and
the majority who had listened to him went to
dinner, some to their homes or club; and others to
the dining-room of the house. The members pi e-
sent were reduced to about or below forty, the
number required to make a house. The Tory
benches were deserted for the purpose of making a
" count-out" possible. When the bell rang to an-
nounce that the house was being counted, there was
of course a rush from the dining-room, where some
forty or fifty members were at dinner. But it was
not easy to get into the house. A party of Tory
members, lords not noble, and members in this not
bonourf.ble, were in the lobby, and not only shut
the outer door, but forcibly kept it shut: It required
the utmost force and violence to obtain an entrance,
and members who succeeded in getting inside were
assailed in the most offensive manner.

One member was struck with great force in
the side, and a member of the Government was
for some time jammed in -the doorway in immi-
nent danger of personal injury. Among the
members of the Tory party engaged in these
disgraceful proceedings, I noticed Mr Baillie
Cochrane, one of the members' for Honiton,
Lord Robert Montagu, member for Huntingdon-

shire, and others. icir. Baillie Cochrane may con-
sider himself as one of the members doomed by the
Reform" Bill under discussion ; and Lord. Robert
Montagu, in bis speech the other night against the
bill, spoke of the bill as a measure that would give
power to the scum of the country, and the words
" clown" and " boor" were on his lips, when dis-
cussing the claims of the working men of England
to a share in the Parliamentary franchise. ,
If the middle clases of England, and those of the
working classes who are:to be enfranchised by this
bill, could see the means taken by the Tories in the
house to prevent the passing of this bill, they would
be more than ever convinced of the necessity of a
thorough reform of the House of. Commons.—
Yours respectfully, M.P.
House of Commons, April 26, 1860.

cIURE CURE. —LAMBER'r'S ASTHMATIC
1..) BALSAM, without confining the bowels or affecting the
head, truly efficacious and pleasant, is admitted to be the best
medicine for immediately relieving coughs, colds, confirmed

sons whom the faculty pronounce incurable, admirably allays
the tickling which provokes frequent coughing. In approach-
ing consumption its effects are truly beneficial. rersons de-

TUE GREAT FRAUD IN THE UNION

B A NA:

MANSION-HOUSE.-(THIS DAY.)

To-day having been fixed upon for the further proceeding
into the investigation of the charges of fraud made against
George Pullinger, late chief cashier in the Union Bank, the
entrances and lobbies of the Mansion-house were besieged by
persons anxious to gain admission to the justice •room, but
the crowded state of the Court prevented but few being ad-
mitted.

On the bench at each side of the Lord Mayor were a great
number of aldermen, and several gentlemen of great influ-
ence in the city.

Mr. Giffard, who conducts the prosecution, and the autho-
rities of the Union Bank, having arrived, Pullinger was
placed at the felon's bar. He was attired in a black suit,
over which he ware a splendid brown ovsrcoat lined with
quilted satin, and appeared to bear up against his position
with great difficulty.
The Lord Mayor, addressing the prisoner, said—Have
you a solicitor in attendance ?

Pullinger---No, my lord.—
Mr. Giflard Although, my lord, the prisoner
in the first instance was only char;ed with steal-
ing the comparatively small sum of £3O, the property
of his employers, the directors of the Union Bank,
Princes-street, it had now been discovered that
the suns stolen amounted to no less than about £260,000;
and the mode in which the robbery had been committed
was so complicated that it was obvious a very rigid exami-
nation into the system adopted by the prisoner would have
to be made. Such being the case I do not intend to pro-
ceed with further evidence to-day, and I shall confine my-
self to formally having the evidence, on which the first re-
mand was granted, read over and signed by the witness,
and then ask for another remand until this day week.

his lordship having assented to the course,
Mr. Newmarsh, the secretary to the bank, was then
called and having been sworn,
The Chief Clerk read over his evidence, which was as
follows:—The prisoner was the chief cashier at the Union
Bank, and from certain discoveries he was called into the
directors' room, whore Mr. Lawrie and myself wore
present. Pullinger was informed that there was
a charge made against hint of defrauding the
bank. He replied he should give no trouble, and then
asked for the vouchers of the missing bills. On receiving
them he selected out a voucher for £350, and said he had
obtained that amount from the cashier in the morning, and
had applied it to his own purposes. He was given into
custody.
The Lord Mayor—Do you wish to ask Mr. Newmarsh
any question ?
Prisoner—No, my lord.
Mr. Newmarsh then signed his deposition, and the pri-
soner was remanded until this day week,
London, England, 1860-04-27

will not be taken out again, but the injured plates
will be either repaired or replaced in the hold ; for
this purpose the boiler has been raised from the
ceiling sufficient to enable the blacksmiths to ap-
proach it on all sides. They are working night and
day, and hope to finish the job by this (Friday)
evening. One of the new boilers is fitted in its
place, one is repairing, and the remaining two are
on the wharf.
The screw steamship Aboukir, 90, Capt. Douglas
Curry, left Plymouth under canvass on Wednesday
afternoon for Portland;

THE DIOCESE OF DURHAM.

Viscount DUNGANNON presented a petition from Dar-
lington complaining of the large amount of revenue ab-
stracted from the diocese of Durham, while little or no
regard had been paid by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners
to the spiritual wants arising from the vast increase of its
population. The petitionera prayed that such measures
might be taken as should insure in future a recognition of
its just and manifest demands.

The Bishop of CARLISLE did not think that any
injustice had been done to the diocese of Durham. While
their lordships had heard that large sums had been
taken from Durham, not one word had been said
about the amount that had been left after the deductions
had been made. In his diocese there were 120 livings
under ,£lOO a year, and although the population was smaller
than that of Durham, yet in amount of acreage it far ex-
ceeded it, as the diocese of Carlisle extended over 61 square
miles. Distributing a portion of the large revenues of
such sees as Durham among ill-paid clergymen was, in his
opinion, highly praiseworthy.
Earl GREY had heard the remarks of the right rev.
prelate with much regret. The Ecclesiastical Commis-
sioners had been withdrawing revenues which had only been
made considerable by the exertions of certain populations,
who were thus deprived of the benefits they had earned:
and he considered the principle exercised with regard to
Durham wcs one of iniustice.

Lord RAVENSWORTH felt great pleasure in concur-
ring with the noble earl who had just sat down. He con-
sidered the diocese of Durham had been very harshly dealt
with both by Parliament and the Ecclesiastical Commis-
sioners, and he hoped in a short time an alteration of the
system would be forced upon the Legislature.
The Earl of CHICHESTER defended the acts of the
Ecclesiastical Commissioners.

BOROUGH HOP.

Owing to the backward state of the bine, there is rather
more firmness in our market generally. In prices, however,
we have no change to report. The sh.ofvr of samples is mo-
derate.

TEA.—The market has remained ver:r quiet, at about pre-
vious rates. _ _ _

SUGAR—Less animation was appare at ; the demand for
the better descriptions, however, for home consumption,
continued steady, and prices were fairly maintained. In
the refined market there hac been very little business
transacted, and prices are unaltered.
COFFEE.—A steady business has been done in plantation
Ceylon, at fully late rates. Native continues in good de-
mand, at full prices.
Rica.—The market has shown les& firmness, and prices
have slightly tended downwards.
SALTPETRE.—In the private marke.; only a limited busi-
ness has been recorded, and plantations have remained un-
altered.

TALLOW.—The market is dull, any I prices have slightly
given way. P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted 55s 9d to 565,

[ADTERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills.—
Female Complaints.—Climate, fashion, and neglect hurry
thousands of our daughters prematurely to the tomb, each
and all of whom would still have been their parents' pride
had Holloway's remedies been applied without delay. On
them all may rely fbr restoring health when natural functions
are suspended or morbidly sluggish. Under the genial influ-
ence of Holloway's preparations beauty, vigour, and vivacity
are rekindled. The ointment should be well rubbed over the
kidneys and bottom of the stomach every night on going to
bed. The effect will be marvellous. Eight or ten pills
should be taken nightly for some little time while using the
ointment, in order to purify the blood, cleanse the system,
and correct all obstructions.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—It is ever a pleasing duty for a
journalist to introduce to his readers some discovery calcu-
lated to benefit that vast portion of our fellow creatures
which has the strongest claims upon our sympathies. It is
with this feeling that we call the attention of invalids
to the following extracts from Du Barry's interesting
report of cures without medicine of indigestion (dys-
pepsia), flatulency, constipation, nervous, bilious, and
liver complaints, cough, asthma, consumption, and

FRANCE.

It is said that several arrests have taken place in
Paris in consequence of some plot having been dis-
covered against the Emperor by Italians. It seems
to be the rule that arrests shall take place when-
ever a fete is given on a large scale. The present
occasion was the ball given by the Empress at the
mansion in the Champs Elysees, built for Madame
Montijo, and which is known as the Hotel d'Albe.
The Emperor remained till five in the morning.
It was with this fete, which it appears was the
gayest yet given, that the rumours are connected.
M. Thiers, it is said, is about to visit the field of
the battle of Waterloo, to prepare materials for the
18th volume of his History, which will comprise
the Hundred Days.
BOURSE, April 26.—The market was buoyant at

GREAT PAIR-OARED RACE FOR MR. BEL-

' The final heat of the great pair-oared race, for a pair
of silver goblets, given by Mr. Belfour, came off yesterday
afternoon, and was umpired by Messrs. Playford, Casa-
major, and several other members of the London Rowing
Club, under whose management the race was conducted.
The Venus accompanied the race, and was well filled with
company, besides whom a large number of spectators
assembled along the towing path, Hammersmith-bridge,
and in draft of various descriptions on the river. The dis-
tance was from Putney to Hammersmith, and the following
was the result :

Messrs. Shirreff and Burgess (London Rowing Club) 1
Messrs. Bryant and Bucknall (West London Rowing
Club)
Messrs. Jervis and Wilson (Kingston Rowing Club)
West London took the lead, Kingston going on second,
but at Craven Cottage Messrs. Shirreff and Burgess gained
the lead, and ultimately won by two lengths. There was A
foul opposite Finch's, but it was over-ruled.

THE SUN, LONDON,

self-sacrifice will equally characterise the new constituency
and their new representatives? (Hear, hear.) No doubt
we shall have members just as anxious for what is called
the honour of the country, who will make high sounding
speeches against truckling to absolute sovereigns, and insist
on the right of the House of Commons to become the gar-
rulous confident of every secret which cabinets would keep
to themselves. (Laughter.) But will the new represen-
tatives of the new constituency be as provident of practical
defences as they may be lavish of verbal provocatives ?
I (Cheers and laughter.) Will they as readily submit to the

taxation which is necessary to self-defence, so long as the
world shall see wars commenced for the propagation of

ideas and peace concluded by the acquisition of domains

(Loud cheers.) Sir, it is possible that they may possess
all such requisite qualities in a higher degree than ourselves
and our constituents ; bui; at least there is a doubt the other

way, and, seeing that doubt, it would be no such great in-
felicity if at a juncture so critical we could be contented to
let well alone—if we ceuld defer putting this great nation
into the lottery of chance until we could see more distinctly
whether the goddess who presides at the wheel be indeed
the Fortune who smiles upon peace and commerce, "domi-

na cequoris," or rather that more terrible deity, " cuncos
man is gestans aena," whose attributes are calamity and war.

this Parliament to remit to its successor a less formidable
balance-sheet of deficit and revenue. I say nothing here

REFORM BILL.

Mr. E. JAMES gave notice that to-morrow, on the
motion for the adjournment of the house, he would ask the
Secretary for Foreign Affairs if it was intended to introduce
any measure to provide for the registration of persons who

STATEMENT OF POOR LAW AUDITORS.

Mr. WATLINGTON asked the President of the Poor
Law Board whether the correspondent of the Times news-
paper of the 23d instant was correct in stating that the au-
ditors of the Poor Law Board had defined "gross estimated
rental" to be " the landlord's rent, the landlord and tenant
respectively paying their own charges ;" and, if so, to in-
quire what, if any, is the difference between " gross esti-
mated rental" and " net annual value."

Mr. VILLIERS said that in consequence of the hon.
gentleman's notice he had referred to a file of the Times,
and had seen the letter alluded to, and the statement
was what the hon. member described. He applied to those
'auditors, who stated that the contents of the letter in ques-
tion were quite correct; and they also said that the auditors
throughout the country agreed with them, which upon in-
quiry he found to be the case.

NONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

The demand for accommodation having abated,
the discount houses now seem disposed to negotiate
first-class bills on easier terms, business being re-
ported in the several markets at 41 and 51 per
Cent, whereas a few days ago the quotations ranged
or tiper cent, higher. 0 wing to the Victoria
Loan, railway calls, and other engagements, it is
imagined that any decided improvement cannot
take place at present, although the tendency may
be in that direction.
It appears that the tenders for the £1,078,000 Vic-
toria Railway Debentures represented £1,451,900,
and the result is that parties who have offered less
than £lO5 Os. 61. will not obtain an allotment.
The biddings ranged from 105 to 106, and some
large sums were applied for by parties who obtained
a share of the previous issue.

THE ARMY.

The officers of the Royal Artillery,
.assisted by
some professional ladies of the metropolitan theatres
and the Canterbury " old stagers," last night per-
formed at the Theatre Royal, Woolwich, under
the patronage of Major-General Sir R. Daeres,
K.C.8., Commandant of the garrison, in aid of the
funds of the Royal Artillery Regimental Charitable
Committee. The house was decorated specially
for the occasion, and was crowded to excess. The
various characters represented were exceedingly
well sustained. The regimental band, conducted
by Mr. Smythe, the Royal Artillery bandmaster,
played during the acts, and the performance was
eminently successful.
The office of principle medical officer at Fort Pitt
Hospital, Chatham, rendered vacant by the appoint-
ment of Inspector-General J. It. Taylor, C.B to
the head of the invalid establishmentand " sani-
tarium formed at the Cape of Good Hope for the
troops from China, has been conferred by the Di-
rector-General of the Medical Department upon
Deputy Inspector-General T. D. Hume, M.D., late
the head of the medical staff at Cork.
Although the bounty to recruits has recently
been reduced by the authorities to the sum of 12
and a free kit, recruiting is still proceeding very
satisfactorily, numbers of fine young men continu-
ing to arrive at Chatham from the recruiting dis-
tricts of York, Bristol, Liverpool, and London to join
the East India depots at that garrison. Several of
the depots, the service companies of whose regi-
ments are in India, now number upwards of 500
men of all ranks, and so strong are the three bat-
talions of infantry now at Chatham that it is cal-
culated each will be able to furnish 1,000 bayonets
to reinforce the various regiments in India, should
that number be required during the approaching
summer.

DEATH OF MR. FULWAR CRAVEN.—We have to
record the death of this gentleman, long known in the
.porting world, and more especially popular in Gloucester-
shire, Wiltshire, and Bucks at the ripe age of 78. He was
the elder of the two sons of at
late Rev. John Craven, of
Chilton House, Wilts, and represented a younger branch of
the family of the Earl of Craven. The deceased gentleman,
who was a magistrate and deputy lieutenant for Berks and
Wilts, and a magistrate for Gloucestershire, married in 1810
Laura, daughter of the late Mr. George Vansittart, of Bisham
Abbey, Berke, by whom he has left issue. His eldest son,
Mr. George Fulwar Craven, inherits the estates.

INDIAN FINANCE.

Mr. VANSITTART asked the Secretary of State for
India which of the following financial estimates of the
deficiency of income as against the expenditure of
the current year ending the 30th April is correct, namely,
£10,250,000, as per the statement made by the Secretary of
State for India on the Ist of August last ; £0,449,981, as
per financial balance-sheet drawn up in Calcutta in Sept.
last ; £9,290,129, as per estimate submitted by Mr. Wilson
on the 18th Feb. last to the Legislative Council of Calcutta;
and, whether ho can state the cause of these discrepancies,
Sir C. WOOD said that even from the most recent infor-
mation he had received he was not in a position to account
for the discrepancies in question. Last summer he had
made a statement relative to Indian finance, the Govern-
ment of India made a different one, and Mr. Wil-
son one that was also different from his. How-
ever, it was satisfactory that there had been an im-
provement in the income of India since he had made his
statement. •
THE PEDESTAL AT WATERLOO-PLACE.
Mr. E. JAMES asked the Tide Commissioner of Works
whether any person was about, to place anything, and, if
anything, what, upon the summit of a pedestal which has
been standing for twelve months at the southern end of
Waterloo-place, ; and if anything was to be placed
there, when it might be expected to be done ?
Mr. COWPER said it was intended to place a statue on
the pedestal to commemorate 'the bravery of the Guards at
the Crimea. The statue was entrusted to Mr. Bell, and he
believed it would be worthy of the object proposed.
MORTALITY ON BOARD OF VESSELS BOUND

TO INDIA.
Sir DE LACY EVANS, asked the Secretary of State
for War or for India, if the statement in the public journals
relative to the mortality which had occurred on board of
various vessels which had arrived at Madras and Bombay
with the wives and children iof soldiers bo correct; and, if
so, what department or officer may be regarded as respon-
sible for any neglect of due precautions, if such had been, in
connection with this lamentable event ?
Sir C. WOOD could not state exactly the amount of the
mortality in question, but he believed it resulted from the
number of the children on board those vessels.
ARMY ESTIMATES.

In reply to Gen. PEEL,
Mr. S. HERBERT stated that it was not the intention
of Government to proceed with the army estimates lint-
after the second reading of the Reform Bill.
THE CHAMPION FIGHT.

Mr. TIADFTELD inquired of the Home Secretary for

police were present and whether they interfered, and
if the Government intended to take any steps.

The injury his right irm sustained, in the sixth round
of the fight, compelled him to carry it in a sling.
Of course, as soon as Sayers's arrival became known,
a vast crowd immediately assembled, in the hope of wit.
nessing the arrival of Heenan ; but in this the public were
disappointed, as intelligence arrived that Iloenan was too
much injured about the eyes to attend at the time ap.
pointed.
Sayers shortly after this intimation left, and on his
reaching the street he was received with loud cheering,
but the crowd, which by this time had largely increased,
compelled him to enter a cab, and he drove to a friend's
nearly opposite; but it was with the greatest difficulty
that he succeeded in making the call, in consequence of the
eagerness of every person in the crowd to catch a glimpse
of him.

With respect to the steps that are to be taken to settle
the doubtful issue, nothing of course is yet positively
known ; but it is expected by most of the parties interested
in the contest that another battle will have to be fought.

RATING A PHOTOGRAPHER'S VAN. William
Martin, owner of a caravan fitted up for the purpose of
photography, which has stood for some months past on
part of the ground formerly occupied by the Old Black
Boy, Chelmsford, was summoned at the last petty sessions
by the overseers of Chelmsford for Gs. Bd. poor rate. The
defendant said he had never been called on to pay rates
for the carriage at any place he had previously, been at.
The carriage occupied only about fifteen feet of ground.
The chairman—What rent do you pay? The defendant
—The fact is I have not paid any since I have been hero,
for trade has been so bad. The chairman—What were
you to pay P The defendant said 10s. a week. He did
not sleep in the carriage, and paid for his lodgings else-
where. The overseer said this was valuable ground, the
defendant himself stating that he paid 10s. as the tenant
and occupier of it, and the parish had rated it at only £lO.
The bench decided he must pay the 6s. Bd. The defendant
asked for time ; he could assure them he had not cleared his
expenses since he had been in the town. The overseer ob-
served that defendant had only to put a horse to his cart
and he was gone. Defendant—l am obliged to you for your
opinion of me. The magistrate ordered the 6s. Bd. to be
paid forthwith, but as Major Skinner observed that it was a
proper case for appeal, and he thought the parish ought to
pay the costs, no order was made respecting them. They
amounted to as. Gd., so that the parish takes only 2d. by the
preeeediug.

'ACTIPEA-M 7-4-IN F 01? INDIAN RIV.EI2B.

._..•,.....-.-....

Last week we mentioned that a train of barges,
built by Messrs. John Reid and Co., of Port-Glas-
gow, for the Oriental Inland Steam Company of
London, had been tried on the Clyde with the most
satisfactory results • and as this train constitutes a
composite vessel of larger dimensions than any yet
constructed, and as the problems of navigating the
shallow rivers of India is one of great interest and
importance, it will be satisfactory if we here record
some of the main particulars of the dimensions and
performance. The train consists of a steamer and
five barges, of the collective length of 900 feet, being
nearly half as long again as the Great Eastern. The
brt adth of the train is 30 feet, and the depth of the
hold about 74,- feet. The draught of the barges, when
light, is about 10 inches, and it is reckoned that, on
a draught of 21 feet, the train will carry about 2,000
tons of Cargo. ^ The engines, which are on the high
and low pressure principle, have been constructed
by Messrs. Fawcett, Preston and Co., of Liverpool;
but, as the steam section of the train is not yet
completed, the train was, on this first occasion,
moved by two small tugs. The boilers, which aro
on the locomotive principle, supply steam of a pres-
sure of 100 lbs. per square inch, and this steam,
after having first produced power in two high prep-
sure cylinders, passes into two condensing cylinders,
by which expedient the power is nearly doubled
without any increase in the consumption of fuel.
The engines ire furnished with superheaters, ex-
ternal condensers, and all other modern improve-
ments. The different barges of the train are articu-
lated to one another by means of circular joints, 00
as virtually to constitute a long flexible vessel pre-
senting only one bow to the water, and by this
arrangement the resistance incident to the ascent of

a rapid river is greatly less than it would be if any
other species of vessel were employed. The train,
though so long and of such large dimensions, vas
found to be perfectly manageable and capable of
being steered with certainty and ease. Other trials
will be made when the steam section of the train is
completed, and the speed realised will then be as-
certained. But, so far as the present trial goof
it has been successful and satisfactory in every re-
spect.—Greenock Advertiser.
