CREMORNE GARDENS,

Mr. BRUCE said it was in the power of the authorities
to extend the hours licensed places of amusement
night remain open. Four extensions of time ha i been
given t.-) Cremorne-garde; e, and on neither occasion had
ho ie•ceived the slightest instruction that the subject had
occasioned any annoyance. He believed the proceedings
on each of those tour occasions had been couduc•ed with
the best order and decorum. (Hear, hear.) lf, however,
representations were made to him that any nuisance was
caused by such an extens;on of the privilege it would

MR. MURPHY'S LECTURE.

Mr. BRUCE said there was no trtrttA in the rumour that
a fine of £lOO would be imposed upon any person lotling
a room to Mr. Murphy, the lecturer.

The Endowed Schools (recommitted) bin was again
discussed in committee, and, although it occupied nearly
the whole of the evening, there was no substantial
amendment made calling for notice.
Mr. NOEL reeved 01,3 issue of a new writ for Dublin, in
the room of Sir Arthur Guinness, whose election had been
declared void.
Sir G. GREY, as an amendment, moved to bring in a
bill disfranchising the freemen of the city of Dublin.
An animated discussion ensued, and ultimately on
division it was de,:ided that the writ should not issue by
215 to 16'9.
The remaining business was speedily disposed of, and
the house adjourned.

THE NEW LAW COURTS.

The proceedings anent the New Law Courts, what
with the want of decision shewn by the Royal Com-
mission, the interposition of the late Government,
and the total change proposed by the present one,
seem to have totally disgusted the architects. The
Royal Commission chose two plans, of which Mr.
Barry's was declared, if there were any difference,
to be the best. But Mr. Street's being considered
easier of alteration, he was chosen to erect the
courts. To this Mr. Barry demurred. He
urged that the Government had procured the designs
on the condition that the best one should be accepted.
Having got these plans, and seen what might be
produced, the best design was thrown aside for one
which had to bo altered. If one alteration were
made, why not twenty ? And if Mr. Street were
allowed to modify his plan in the light thrown upon
the matter by the other designs and by long
discussion, why not Mr. Barry P Now, both

THE GOVERNMENT DIFFICULTY IN SPAIN.

The debate on the Regency Bill in the Spanish Cortes
has elicited a highly-important statement. General Prim
has admitted that the Government cannot find a king.
There are, of course, very many princes out of work,
most of whom would have no objection to accept
a suitable job ; but Prim frankly confesses that
no candidate worth having will come forward in
the present doubtful state of the country. A Regency
is therefore necessary to give matters a settled look, and
then there will be "plenty of applicants." It is even
hinted that Dom Fernando may then repent of his deter.
mination.

FLEFT SPEAKING.]

(It was fully expected that Lord Lytton would have
resumed the adjourned debate, but Earl Grey said he had
intended to move the adjournment of the debate last night
and it was only that he thought Lord Lytton was going'
to speak when he rose that he gave way. As the noble
lord merely moved the adjournment of the debate, he had
exercised his right.)

HOUSE OF COMMONS—Tits DAY.
Th© SPEAKER took the chair at tWO o'clock.
THE METROPOLITAN RAILWAY STATION.

After a discussion on the subject of the architectural
elevation of the station of the Metropolitan Railway,
during which Mr. Layard said the Government claimed,
and would exercise the right of selection.
BANKRUPTCY BILL.

The house then wont into committee on the Bank-
ruptcy Bill, taking up the consideration of the measure at
clause 19.

The amendm.nt proposed by Mr. Rathbone to protect
settlements on or for a wife or children of the settler of pro-
perty, within a given term previous to bankruptcy, pro-
vided the person nuking it was in a position to meet all
his liabilities, and was in a solvent state when the ar -
rangement of the prop3rty was made, was agreed to.
A long discussion then followed, the object of the
various amendments moved being to prevent false and
fraudulent arrangements being made to the prejudice of
Lana fide creditors, and to abolish, as far as was possible the
system of making private arrangements, which it was stated
was a mode wiiieb enabled fraudulent persons to re-enter
trade and carry on business to a greater extent than before,
and in I heel-en; of their speculations failinginvolving anum-
ber of huuest and honourable men. It was suggesied that
provision might be made that all persons interested
any person engaged in
trade might know
on proper
ntpihre affairs of
operiuqUirythe exact position the trader occupied
wile respect to any former bankruptcy.
Tie discussion wits carried on up to seven o'clock, at
which hour iLe citing of the house was suspended.

ANOTHER CASE FOR COURT-MARTIAL. The
maxim of 'Q More haste, less speed," has been verified in
the case of her Majesty's ship Barrosa. The ship, on the
news of the mishap which occurred to the Cadmus, was
immediately got in readiness at Sheerness to proceed to
the relief of her sister ship, but on her way westward she
also ran ashore, and will have to be subjected to the pro-
cess of docking at Devonport before she can be allowed to
proceed to sea.—Army and Nary Gazette.

CIIURCH BATES.

The abolition of church rates—as most of the
clergy call the measure which passed last session—is
being hailed by a portion of the ministry of the
Cnurch of England as a great blessing. The Arch-
deacon of Rochester, in his visitation charge at
Hertford last week, though he did not go so far,
said he looked upon the abolition of compulsory
church rates without regret, believing that it would
tend to make laymen more sensible of the responsi-
bility which rested upon them, and to unite the
clergy and the laity more heartily in doing +.116)

TFIE CROPS IN THE SOUTH OF IRELAND.

The reports as to the condition of the crops in the
south of Ireland are most satisfactory. The Cork
Examiner, summing up these reports, says that corn
is generally thick and healthy, both winter and
spring-sown looking well. About the potato crop
there have been some complaints, but our con-
temporary does not remember any year in which
there was seen so little evidence of any defect of the
sort. " Indeed, in some districts it is surprising to
see how unfailingly the stalk has sprouted from every
bit of seed put into the ground. Green soil fur
cattle has cut well, and the meadows are in a satis-
factory condition, though they will not probably
give a very heavy produce. Flax is in a favourable
and very sound condition."

BRIGANDAGE IN AUSTRIA.

The depredations of brigands in the Austrian provinces
of Bosnia and Croatia became so formidable some time
ago that the authorities were utterly unequal to deal with
them. One of the robber captains was, however, induced
to surrender with his men, on condition that none
of them were sentenced to death or life imprison-
ment. During the inquiry into their crimes they were
employed as a police force in hunting down their brother
brigands, and highly successful they proved. Had this
catching of thieves by thieves gone on uninterruptedly
the country would soon have been cleared. But the
crimes disclosed by the inquiry were so numerous and
flagrant, that decency demanded some sentence upon these
new policemen, and they were all cast into prison, the
captain and his lieutenant for eighteen years. It wouldn't
do, however. The robbers at large took fresh courage ;
their operations became as extensive as ever. It was
found necessary to release the captive brigands, and again
employ them in running their comrades to earth. So
much were their services needed, that the captain was
telegraphed for, and left the prison with a free pardon.

T NAMES.

A WHITECTIAPEL PICKPOCKET.—Martin Rooke, aged
19, who described himself as a tailor of Chatham, in Kent
was charged with stealing a pocket handkerchief from th
person of Stephen Joyce, a gas-fitter of No. 10, Sussex-
place, Leadeuhall-street. The prosecutor was passing
along the Whitechapel-road, when the prisoner abstracted
his handkerchief from his pocket. The prosecutor pur-
sued the prisoner, who was stopped by police-constable
Brooke, No. 207, 11, and detained. The handker
chief was produced. The prosecutor was fol-
lowed for about three-quarters of an hour before
his handkerchief was stolen, and he was warned
by a friend that a thief was on the point of robbing him.
Air. Joyce, suspecting that the prisoner had something
inure valuable is view than a handkerchief, transferred a
bag of gold from one pocket to another, and had scarcely
dorfh so whn•n his handkerchief disapp?ard. The police-
man believed the prisoner was au of London thief, and
not a Chatham tailor.

The prisoner pleaded guilty, and did not offer any ex•
planation of who and whet ho was beyond the descriptive
already given. He was svutvuced to six mouths' impri•

IMPRISONMENT FOR CRUELTY To A HORSE.—William
Search, of 27, Cliurch•stroet, Chelsea, corn dealer, was
charged on a summons with cruelly beating and torturing
a horse.

It appeared from the evidence of Mr. John Eckstein, a
gentleman residing at 8, Argyll-terrace, Kensington, that
on the 31st of May he saw the defendant driving a coal
waggon, in which was a horse much exhausted and evi-
dently in bad condition, between Hydopark-corner and
Sloane-street ; the defendant beat the horse [frost un-
mercifully, and struck it at least thirty or forty times; it
was fearfully wealed and cut, and bore traces of defend-
ant's violence.

Richard Sinclair, an officer of the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals, proved tLat the horse was
old and had been very much knocked about; the cuts
were visible when he saw it.

Defendant said it was necessary to use the whip.
Mr. Selfe said be gave men who beat women six
months, and hu considered it worse to beat a dumb ani-
mal in this abominable way, because a woman could take
her own part and a horso could not. He sentenced him to
ten days' hard labour without a flue.

IRELAND.

PROTESTANT MEETING AT DUBLIN.
The Conservative papers lay great stress on a meeting
held on Monday evening at Dublin. The demonstration
against the Irish Church Bill was announced to take place
in the Dublin Exhibition Palace only two days previouslY;,
yet above 30,000 tickets were issued, and it is said that
the building was crowded in every part. The number
present is variously estimated at from 15,000 to 25,000.
Three platforms were spoken from—in the Concert Hall,
in the Great Transept, and in Leinster Hall. Resolutions
were passed with " unexampled demonstrations of enthu'
siasm" and repeated cries of "No compromise !" "N°
surrender !" earnestly calling upon the Lords to throw out
the bill.
Sir Edward Grogan presided at the principal platform•
Among the speakers were--The Hon. David Plunket,
Mr. Falkiner, Q.e., the Rev. Dr. Foley, the Rev. Dr.
Griffin, and Mr. Alexander Boyle. The meeting lasted
over three hours, during which the excitement increased;
hut all was quiet. The demonstration was an unparalleled
success.

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION AT CORK.
A supposed attempt at assassination was made at Cork
on Monday. A shot was fired into the Constitution office.
The bullet passed through a space where a member of the
staff had just been standing, breaking the windows, aril
striking the opposite door. A similar thing occurred a
few days ago. The Constitution is supposed to be ob-
noxious to the Fenians, hence the outrage.

OTHER
The two persons named Murray who were recently
arres'ed on suspicion of being concerned in the murder of
Mr. Anketell, have been again remanded by the magistrates•
It is stated that additional evidence has been obtained,
and that the authorities entertain some hope that they
may ultimately be enabled to bring the murderer to

justice.
A small farmer, named Flynn, residing at DruincolloP,
County Leitrim, four miles from Mohill, was killed on
Saturday night in a dispute with a person named,
Cassidy, about cutting turf. His skull was fractured With
a spade.
London, England, 1869-06-15

EUREKA!

The way to prevent assassinations in Ireland, if
not to settle the land question, has at last been dis-
covered. The honour rests, be it noted, with no
statesman, Liberal or Conservative, with no
philosopher, utilitarian or otherwise ; it belongs
to a newspaper correspondent who is nameless. It is
suggested that "in future the lives mentioned in all
leases should be those of the landlords and agents.
If this suggestion be adopted, it will be to the
interest of the tenants to preserve the landlords and
agents from the bands of the assassin, and also to
give information if any murderous plot be entered
into." And so in course of time Irish outrages would
become a thing of the past. A " happy thought"
indeed !

AMERICAN FINANCE.

-

(Front the Anglo-American Time,'.)

IVe last week gave a general statement of the
finances with which Secretary BOUTWELL has to
deal—gold, bonds, and currency. The two first
are much affected by foreign influence ; the last is
purely American ; hence, in considering the posi-
tion, it would be unfair to regard it wholly from
a local point of view. Nor must we attribute to
him alone the system of selling the gold surplus,
and purchasing with the currency procPeds national
bonds to the amount of one million dollars per
week, for he but acts in obedience to a law of
Congress, passed in 18G2, directing the purchase or
payment of 1 percent, of the entire debt annually, to
be set apart as asinking fund, togetherwith the inte-
rest accruing on that portion. It is true that no pre-
vious Secretary availed himself of its provisions; in
deed, each set it aside to carry out the system he con-
sidered preferable. The law is not imperative, or it
could not have been so dealt with ; it is permissive,
enabling the Secretary so to act ; indeed, in dealing
with an income not realized, and to a certain ex-
text problematical, Congress could not lay down
a strict rule of action. Circumstances quickly
taught the Legislature the vanity of their providing

INDIAN AFFAIIIS.

The heat in India has maintained an average of ninety
degrees in the coolest places for the past month, and
the thermometer is likely to keep at this figure for
the next few weeks. Hence people do nothing, and there
is little news. Cholera is very prevalent in one
or two places, and has made its appearance amongst the
European troops at Kamptee, but this latter outbreak is
not serious. The intelligence from AfTgbanistau consists
chiefly of the cheering intimation that " Cabul news has
again, after twelve months' unnatural consistency, dropped
bark to its normal chaotic and unintelligible state."
Mr. Lowe has got into trouble with the Indian papers
through his statement on the 4th of March, that he had
received no official information regarding Abyssinian
accounts and expenditure since the 17th of December.
The Times of India maintains that examined accounts,
representing a million and a quarter, had been received in
England after that date. Up to the 22nd of May last
accounts for seven millions had been sent home,
and very little was then left to be done. In
short, whatever complaint may be made of extrava-
gance, the Bombay Government has done its best
to enable the English people to realise all the pleasing
figures as soon as possible. In fact, the Times correspon-
dent thinks there must have been a mistake somewhere.
Never before have the accounts of an English war been
made up so rapidly. This celerity is so unusual as to be
positively alarming.

MR. MURPHY'S LECTURE

Mr. BRUCE said there was no truth in the rumour that
a fine of £lOO would be imposed upon any person letting
a room to Mr. Murphy, the lecturer.

The Endowed Schocla (recommitted) bill was again
discussed in committee, at., d, although it occupied Leal ly
the whole of the evening, there was no substantial
mendment made calling for notice.

Mr. NOEL meved the issue of a new writ for Dublin, in
the room of Sir Arthur Guinness, whose election had been
declared" void.

Sir G. GREY, 'as an amendment, moved to bring in a
bill disfranchising the freemen of the city of Dublin.
An animated discussion ensued, and ultimately on a
division it was derided that the writ should not issue by
215 to 169.

The remainiug business was speedily dispcsed of, and

the house adjourned.

THE CUBAN INSURGENTS.

The news, announced in our American telegrams some
days ago, that Peru had recognised the Cubans as belli-
gerents caused some excitement at New York. It was
confidently expected that Chili, Bolivia, and Equador
would do the same, and this expectation has in part been
justified, for another telegram a dayor two ago announced
that the former State had followed the example of Peru.
There is more talk of fitting out expeditions, and it seems
that efforts will still be made to keep the insurrection
alive.

OBITUARY.

The death is announced of Lady Caroline Neeld.
She was the eldest sister of the present Earl of
Shaftesbury, and was married in 1831 to Mr. Joseph
Neeld, of Grittleton, who died in March 185i1, leaving
an enormous fortune to the Queen. She obtained a
separation from her husband immediately after hei
marriage.—Sir Charles Ilay Seton, of Abercorn, has
just died, having survived his brother (whom be suc-
ceeded in the baronetcy) and his wife only a few
months. He is succeded by his son Bruce Maxwell,
of the War Office, who has been private secretary to
Earl de Grey and the Duke of Marlborough, and
is now holding that office under Mr. Cardwell.

CHURCH PATRONAGE.

The question of Church patronage is attracting a
good deal of notice just now in Australia. At the
recent session of the Church Synod in Sydney, the
Bishop condemned in strong language as a grievous
scandal the sale of advowsons which takes place in.
England. An ordinance was presented for the con-
sideration of the synod, in which it was proposed that
parishes where there is a parsonage and £:3ooa year
for the clergyman should have the option of
nominating their clergyman, or of having him
nominated by a Board of Nominators, or that he
should be chosen by the bishop.

MR. SPURGEON AND THE CRISIS.

Mr. Spurgeon does not appear to think that the
Lords will pass the Irish Church Bill this session.
He referred to the subject in his sermon on Sunday
evening, and was evidently under the impression that
the admirers of the bill, the opponents of the State
Church, would soon have to grieve for the delay of
the time " when the first blow would be struck at
religious establishments in the United Kingdom."
lle took for his text " The king also himself passed
over the brook Kidron," 2 Samuel, xv., 23. Regard-
ing these words as being symbolic of sorrow and
distress, Mr. Spurgeon spiritualised the text in his
accustomed manner, and went on to say :

"Just at this juncture those who were fighting for
Christ's crown and seeking to get His Church free from
the unholy alliances which she had so basely formed,
might perhaps find that for awhile disappointment awaited
their banners ; but if it were so, they would not for a
Moment qtail in their courage nor stay in pressing
the good cause on to the ultimate and the universal victory.
Perhaps it was well that they had to wait awhile, for they
might achieve but one purpose now, whereas a little pausing
would set them on greater desig.ns and nobler aims. There
was one Church to be set free in Ireland, and if it were
not done quickly another should be set free in England,
and be made to know that she had no right to ride rough-
shod over this nation ,• but liberty and religious equality
should be proclaimed here as well as there, and that all
the sooner because of the delay. Let the King's cause go
over Kidron for awhile, and the great ones of the earth
set themselves in array against Christ and His crown ;
but the victory would come, and they could afford to wait
and tarry till the predestined hour, for, perhaps, by
waiting the vessel would come back laden more richly with
treasure, pressed down to the water's edge with costly
freight ; but back she would come—come certainly and
surely—to her master's honour, and the comfort of the
Church of God in this realm."
