THE IRISH CHURCH BILL.

Earl GREY gave notice that in the conamltee on the
Irish Ckurch Bill he should move to depart from the usual
curse of proposing the preamble, and that he would move
the omission of the lines 11 to 15, in order to insert the
words, " but not for the maintonance of any other church
or clergy." He should also move that the house should
during the committee of the bill sit on Wednesdays.
A rather angry discussion ensued, in which Earl Grey
protested against any incidental discussion of his amend-
ment.

Earl GRANVILLE said he would see how far it was
,possible to meet: the suggestion of the noble earl with re-
spect to the Wednesday's sitting, and would state the re-
sult further on in the week.

Their lordships then adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—This EVENING.

Tho SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock.
ALL SAINTS' DISTRICT, BISHOPSGATE, BILL.
The adjourned debate on the third reading of this bill,
the object of which was to empower the Great Eastern
Railway to acquire the site of the church of All
Saints, they undertaking to erect schools with
a chapel attached, and also to pay a sum
of money to those who might suffer loss by
the removal of the church. The Homo Secretary of
State for the Home Department supported the bill, which
he thought providel a better means of improving the con,
dition of the parishioners and the poor in that neighbour-
hood than the re-erection of the church in another-part of
the parish.
The house divided, when there appeared—

POLICE IN Tli LLI G lEN C E.-7 his Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

" GIVING THE TlP."—John Thropp, a black man, was
charged with bogging in Great Portland-street.
Police-coustablo James Swaine, 14 E, said that he saw
the prisoner lying on the ground in Great Portland-street,
begging, and saying "Pity a poor cripple," and a well-
dressed young man standing opposite ready to give him
the "tip" when the police were coming, After being at
the place some time the prisoner took the young man into
a public-house, and called for half a pint of old and bitter,
and a pennyworth of gin in it for him. The prisoner hav-
ing become noisy he took him into custody.
A witness named Alexander Smith watched the pri-
soner fur three hours, and saw him begging, and a person
giving him the "tip." The prisoner went into a public-
house and called for some gm, saying he wanted " Old
Tom," as fivepenny gin was not good enough. The pri-
soner, while on the ground, was continually shaking, and
pretended he could not walk.
Committed for a month with hard labour.

MR. PEABODY.

The use which has been made of Mr. Peinody's gift to
Vie poor of London does not give perfect satisfaction in
America. The New York Times has inquired into the
administration of the fund, and is disappointed at the
result. The Peabody buildings are "clumsy, heavy, dark,
and' unsightly," the rooms are too small, and the rent too
high to be of great practical benefit. Conversation
with some of the tenants leads the Times to the conclusion
that cheaper houses ought to be provided, and that the
deserving poor might he aided by loans from the fund.
Mr. Peabody, who has arrived in America, is much
improved in health by his voyage across the Atlantic.

T lIAMES.

As 111111DENr MENDICANT.--John Lewis, a bloated,
heavy, and dissipated fellow, aged 47 years, was brought
before Mr. Benson, charged with soliciting and receiving
alms in James-street, Ratcliff, and using threatening and
abusive language to those who refused to give him alms.
Henry Sliugsby, a police constable, No. 391 K, stated
that he saw the prisoner, who was an impudent and sturdy
mendicant, knock at the doors of ten different houses
iu Devonport-streot, Ratcliff, yesterday afternoon,
and afterwards knock at the doors of several
houses in James-street, leading out of Devonport-street.
Half-pence, food, or old clothes were given to the prisoner
at nearly every house. The prisoner's wallet was amply
filled, and ho took him into custody. There were 40 ounces
of bread and sundry pieoes of beef and mutton in his
pack. The prisoner abused him and used very bad lan-
guage, and also attempted to strike him. He saw money
given to the prisoner, whose conduct was very offensive.
Sliugsby then produced a large packet of bread and meat
which he took from the prisoner.
Mr. Benson—This is a very bad case:
The prisoner said he could get no work, and was ob-
liged to beg.

Mr. Benson—You must not beg.
'I ho prisoner—And I must not steal.
Mr. Benson—No, you must not steal.
The prisoner—What am I to dot I must not beg, I
must not steal.

Mr. Benson— lon are a dangerous character.
The prisoner—No ; I am not a dangerous character.
Mr. Benson—You are a regular mendicant, and prefer
bullying and begging
to work. I shall make you work
for a month. You are sentenced to one months' impri-
sonment and hard labour in the House of Correction. If
brought here again and the case made out, the sentence
will be doubled. .

THE PRESS IN AUSTBIA.

The Austrian Government objects to Republican
speeches. Somebody in Vienna wa3 preparing to
publish a translation of the fine speech, in favour of Re-
publicanism, delivered by Senor Castelar in the Spanish
Cortes ; but the Imperial funct:onaries seized all the
printing apparatus, and put the typographical forme
under seal.

THE TVEA 271 L'll.

The report of the Meteorological Committee of the Royal
Society for last year says, with regard to Telegraphic
Weather Intelligence, that no very material change has
been made in the home reporting stations during tho
year, but the French naval authorities have added
three to the number of foreign stratious reporting to the
office in London, thus rendering the intelligence seet
every day more complete and satisfactory. The system
of issue of telegrams conveying the fact of an atmos-
pherical disturbance to the coast has Leen set it
activity during the year, and intelligence is seat to
101 stations on our own shores and to the adjacent coast:•
of the Continent. A systematic study of British weather,
and especially of storms, has been commenced, which has
begun to lead to satisfactory results. The materials for
this have been the daily telegraphic weather repents, and
returns from the coast-guard stations ;for these latter will in
future be substituted the continuous records from the self-
registering instruments at the observatories. The issue of
ashery barometers on loan to small ports and harbours has
been continued, and a new edition of the " Fishery baro-
meter Mauual" has been pubilshed.

A GIRL FOURTEEN YEARS ASLEEP.

Miss Susan Caroline Godsey, " the sleeping wonder,"
died at her mother's home, some eight miles from Hick-
man, on Wednesday, the 14th of July. At the time of
her death Miss Godsey was about 26 years of age, and had
Leen asleep, as described, about fourteen years. The
existence of this wonderful state of coma, or preternatural
disposition to sleep, has been doubted by many, but the
fact is indisputable. The history of the case is briefly
this :—When about 12 years of age she was taken
with a severe chill, and treated accordingly by her
physician. As the fever which followed her chill
subsided she fell in a deep sleep, in which condition she
has remained ever since, except at intervals. It was her
custom at first to awake regularly twice in every twenty-
four hours, and, singularly, within a few minutes of the
same hours ,Tay; but of later years she awoke oftener,
ID much so sua.ny considered it an indication of her
final recovery. She would remain awake five, ten, or
perhaps .fifteen minutes, and then gradually drop
off to sleep again. IThen asleep it was utterly
impossible to arouse her. SLe never complained
of bodily pain, though when asleep she was very
nervous at times, and appeared to suffer considerably
by the violent twitching and jerking of her muscles and
limbs, and her bands clenched tightly as if enduring
severe pain ; but when awake she did not appear to suffer
except from a drowsy, gaping inclination, and a persistent
effort to cleanse her throat of phlegm. She generally
passed into sleep through violent paroxysm, which would
last perhaps five minutes, and she would then sleep awhile
as calmly and quiet as an infant. Miss Godsey was of
medium size, and her limbs and muscles were well pro-
portioned and developed, and grew considerably after her
affliction.—Hickman (Ky.) Courier.

such 'as' to be used as a plea for disestanusnmetio
Ireland. But if, as Dr. Buchanan holds, the Free
Church " has been a triumph compared with the Esta-
blished Churches," surely the case did furnish an
argument in favour of the Irish Church Bill.

MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new de-
scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without
springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble
the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori-
ginals by the closest observer ; they will never change
colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth
ever before used. This method does not require the
extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will
support and preserve teeth chat are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restcltc articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful m masti-
cation.

ATII ENS.

The Panhellenist party, which was believed to be
disposed of by the Conference of Paris, is again chewing
itself at Athens. M. Coumoundouros, a member of a
former Ministry, has just made a long speech in favour of
an amendment to the address proposed by the Opposi-
tion. In the course of it Le said that Greece
had seen with profound regret the adherence of the King
to the protocol of the last Conference, which condemned
the sympathy and the help given by the nation to
an heroic struggle. The popular representatives,
he declarid, being faithful interpreters of the
just indignation of the Grecian people, could not
do otherwise than censure a Ministry whose policy
had reduced the country to the painful necessity of seeing
its territory overrun by foreign armies, and its laws out-.
raged, while its countrymen were again forced to submit
to the yoke. Greece was confident that the great Powers, •
having regard to the situation of the Hellenes in the East"!
would in future be more favourable to their imprescrip:
tible rights. Whether the Chamber will accept or reject
this amendment is not yet stated.

BRIGIIAM YOUNG.

Brigham Young? the leader of the Mormons, has
had as much experience of family life as most people;
so that when he says that he has found doctors
altogether useless, his declaration should hardly be
overlooked. In a recent sermon preached at
Salt Lake city, he stated very explicitly that he ob-
jected entirely to allow his children to be " physicked."
He liked doctors very well as gentlemen, but he
would not employ them professionally. lie found
he got on very well without them. His
family (as he himself remarked) is not a
small one by any means ; he said it was a
" pretty " large one; we in England would probably
call it a "very long one." And as to health, he
proclaimed his willingness to compare it with any
other on the face of the earth. How Mr. Young
manages without doctors is not very clear. He first
told the people that they were to rebuke a disease in
the name of Jesus ; then he said that illnesses were
caused by rich living and luxurious habits, and if
they would abstain from these, they would lose all
chance of sickness.

THE FREE CHURCH OF SCOTLAND.

At a meeting of a Commission of the Scottish
Free Church General Assembly, a discussion arose
touching the Archbishop of Canterbury's statement
that the Sustentation Fund had been a failure. Dr.
Buchanan rather warmly questioned this dictum. It
was not claimed for the Sustent ttion Fund that it
had been able to o:•ertake all the spiritual destitu-
tion of Scotland, but he maintained that, com-
pared with the Established Churches, the Free
Church had been a triumph and a success.
On the other hand, Dr. Begg said that the Arch-
bishop did not question the good work done by the
-mina ! ha held only that its success had not been

THE CARLISTS.

No confirmation has been received of the report that
*he Carlist leader, Estartus, had entered Spain by the
French frontier. The band which has been seen in Cata-
lonia does not exceed four hundred men. The bishops
have replied favourably to the circular of the Minister
concerning the priests who took part in the insurrection.
The Gazette announces that the Carlist band near Vichy
has been dispersed, without fighting, by General Bald-
rith. The detachment under the command of Palo has
been completely encircled in the mountains of Toledo.
The Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs has addressed
circular to the diplomatic representatives of Spain in
foreign countries, which explains the position of the
revolution, and the progress that bas been made. The
Cortes Constituentes were convoked, he says, in order that
all important questions might be left to the supreme
decision of the people. Although universal suffrage was
exercised for the first time, the public peace was not dia.
turbed, and the Spanish people thus proved their enlighten-
ment and prudence to the other nations of Europe.
The general state of calmness has been happily pre-
served, although there have been intervals during which
the Government had to resort to force to repress the
movements of fanatics who created disturbances.
The Minister pays a tribute to the manner
In which the Cortes have discussed the arduous
questions put before them, and the moderation they have
displayed. The changes that have been made in the policy
of Spain have partaken of a democratic character; and
her Constitution has become more Liberal than those of
many representative monarchies, and even of some States
which have adopted a republican form of government.
The establishment of religious liberty has introduced a
striking change into the political organisation of Spain.
For some time past she had given way to fanaticism, and
compromised her position with regard to other countries.
The situation created by the revolution of September has
been completely satisfactory, and confirmed the grand prin-
ciple of religious liberty. The monarchical form ef Govern-
ment has found favour with those who have remodelled
the Constitution, and in naming a Regent the Cortes
desire to establish a Monarchy as soon as possible. The
Government expects to put down partisans of a moping
legitimacy, and they trust; that peace will be speedily re-
established in Cuba. They believe that the time has now
come to regulate their relations with foreign Powers, and,
with this end, the Minister of Foreign Affairs has des.
patched this circular.

THE EMPEROR AND THE ARCHDtiKE.

A story is told respecting the harshness shewn by the
Emperor of Austria towards the Archduke Henry, a
member of his family, whose marriage with a beautiful
young actress last year greatly offended his imperial
relative. The Archduke was exiled, and is now living in
Switzerland. His health having failed a return to his
native air was ordered, and the Prince applied to the
Emperor for permission to visit the Tyrol. Franc's
Joseph refused, whereupon the Archduke's physician wrote
direct to the E mperor, and received in return his own
letter without comment.

LONDON NOISE AND SLEEP.

The overworked and brain-fagged Londoners have
a prescription written out for them by the doctors ;
they are ordered " a little more sleep, a little more
slumber." The prevalent vice of this age is not quite
that against which Solomon inveighed so strongly,
it would be better if men would consent to more "fold-
ing of the hands to sleep." The brain is worn and
wearied with earnest labour; it, therefore, wants
rest. But when they try, our friends who live in the
metropolis—i.e., who reside in the populohs districts,
and have not sought the quiet suburbs—find that
they can't sleep more. They can't fold their senses
In forgetfulness while the organ, horribly ciphered,
is murdering a music-hall song only six doors off.
The German band, with the trombone in one key
and the cornet in another, would have kept the Tung
of Sleep himself awake. And who cares to go to
bed to heir the refrain of the chorus
sung by the party keeping late hours
over the way, the jokes of the cabmen
uttered in their highest tone of voice about the
drunken fares they have just brought home, and the
with a start by a train of scavengers'
policeman making his nightly
round ; to doze for a moment only to be awakened
tramp of the solitary
carts passing
under the window ? From half-past one to four
there is a little relief, but about the latter hour the
butchers' carts begin their run, the street scrapers
commence their work, and the noise, not incessant—
that might be bearable—but intermittent and
uneasy. " M.D." who writes to the Times. on the
startling, constantly keeps the would-be sleeper
subject, thinks something ought to be done. " Ever-
is simply murder." lasting noise (he says)
