POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-7his Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

GOUGING A MAN'S EYE.—John Symes, coffeehouse-
keeper, of No. 44, Fish-street bill, was charged before Mr.
Tyrwhitt with assaulting Dennis Coleman, a coachman, of
Auglesea-yard, Haymarket, and Mr. Laws, a warehouse-
man, of No. 27, Hanover-street, Walworth-row, was
charged with attempting to rescue Symes from the custody
of the police.
The defendant said that on the previous night, as he
was leaving his master's yard, he saw the prisoner Symes
committing a nuisance and requested him to leave, as his
wife was coming out, upon which Symes struck him twice
on the hat with a stick, and then rushed after him and
knocked him down and put his thumb into his (com-
plainant's) eye and pushed it out, causing him great pain,
and he bad to push his eye back into its proper place.
Mr. Tyrwhitt sentenced Sytnes to six weeks' with hard
labour, and Laws to pay a fine of 10s., or seven days.

BANKS

Tho CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
could not assent to the request to allow the ordinary
savings banks to receive the same amount from a single
depositor as he allowed the post-office savings banks. The
interest paid by the Government to the ordinary savings
banks was.£3 ss. and the post-office savings banks X 2 10s.,but
with the former there was no guaranteed security, whilst
with the pest-office savings banks there was the security
of the Government. He did not mean to say that the
depositors in ordinary savings banks were not en-
titled to every consideration, but he thought
that, considering the large sums that had been lost in
ordinary savings banks by poor people, and that frauds
might still be perpetrated by the dishonest in the manage-
ment of those establishments, he did not fuel disposed
to extend the power that they possessed.
RATING OF MINES.

Mr. BRI7CE informed Colonel Duncombe, that a bill for
the rating of mines would very shortly be introduced.

POSTAL COMMUNICATION.

The Marquis of lIARTINGTON said he was in com-
munication with the Great Western railway with a view
of improving the conveyance of letters from the midland
counties to the western counties of South Wales.
STORAGE OF SALTPETRE.

Mr. CARDWELL informed Alderman Lawrence that
he Government had come to the determination of remov-
ng all saltpetre stored in private warehouses.

THE IRISH CHURCH.
The house then went into committee on this bill.

Mr. DISRAELI said he had some amendments to snake
to most of the clauses, but be must be permitted, before
doing so, to refute the charges which had been
made against those who had made amendments to the
bill on his side of the house. His great desiro, and those
also who acted with him, was that the revolutionary and
unconstitutional change which the bill made should be so
arranged that the shock it would occasion should not be
too severely felt by the laity. (Hear, hear.) The amend-
ments they had placed upon the paper were not for the
purpeso of obstruction, but simply to carry into effect the
omises,made by the Prime Minister last session. The
hon. gentleman opposite had said he wished that
the settlement of the question should be carried
into effect in a gracious and generous spirit, but
be thought that the mode adopted was severe and sweep-
ing. (Hear, hear.) Ho and those who acted with him
were animated with a desire to carry out the bill in the
spirit that had been promised, and therefore they would
have to persevere in the amendments they had placed
upon the paper.

Ur. GI:ADSTONE, in reply, said he had fully acted

up to all the promises ho had made with respect to the
bill, and therefore he should still have to oppose the more
important of the amendments proposed by the right hon
gent!eman.

Clause 2G, enactments respecting burial grounds, was

agreed to.
On Clause 27 Mr. DISRAELI moved the omission of
so much of the clause as required payment. Ultimately
progress was reported—the house, however, having only
agreed to three clauses in the course of seven hours' de-
bate. _ _

--
The orders of the day were then disposed of, and the
house adjourned.

LONDON, TUESDAY, APRIL 27, IEC9.

There are some things altogether too horrible to
write about—certainly to write about with any de-
gree of detail or minuteness. And yet front the very
circumstances of their really appalling and revolting
character; it is innmnbent upon the journalist that they
s':ould not be passed by in absolute silence. Conspi-
ersons of late among these themes of horror have been
to o indescribably detestable murders—one of them
committed eighteen years ago—the other only very
recently. In each instance the victim was a woman.
In err!' instance the murder was of the most brntal
character. P for to the murder in one instance the
:ctim was foully outraged. Subsequent to the mur-
der in the other instance the body of the victim
was got rid of by a revolting series of
mu ti?atio n s.

Zhe last-mentioned crime was the
One perpetrated ncarly,a score of years ago down at
Norwich—the murderer, in his seeming respectabi-
lity, resembling TAWELL, in his infernal inhumanity
resembling GBEENACIIE. The wretched criminal, is
this case, was self-accused. His confession of his
long-secreted guilt wss extorted from him by the
tardy agonies of remorse, and the result has been
:hat he has expiated his atrocity upon the gallows,
at the bands of the public, or we ought rather to say

THE NEW LAW COURTS.

Mr. LA.YARD, in reply to the question of Mr. Gregory,
as to whether the Government had decided finally on the
site for the new law courts, suggested by the
Chancellor of the Exchequer in his speech on the
20th inst., said the Government had finally decided
to apply to Parliament to acquire the site mentioned by
his right hon. friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
The site required was between Somerset-house and the
Temple, at the end of floward-street. It consisted of six
acres ofgrornd, and Mr. Street, the architect, had stated
that it was quite possible to erect the whole of the courts
and offices un that site. The Government intended to
apply for a bill to acquire that site, and on that
occasion he should be abb., to show th_►t it possessed great
advantages over every other site which bad been proposed.
(Laughter.) There was another advantage to be attained
with such a proposal, as th 3 whole building could be
erected at the cost mentioned by the hon. gentleman (Mr.
Cireccory), viz., £l,6oo,ooo—(hear, hear) which was a very
greatadvautaBe compared wit:► the costly scheme which had
been advocated in the house by the supporters of the Carey-
street site. He had received a communication from Chief
Baron Sir Fitzroy Kelly ou the subject, and he said that
all the judges were unanimously in ta your of the new site,
and that it was their opinion that it would he fur the con-
venience of the bench, the bar, the solicitors, the suitors,
and the public that the proposed change of site should
take place. (Rear, hear.)
Mr. HUNT wished to know whether the necessary
notices had been given to the owners of property.
Mr.LAYARD said when he applied for leave to bring in

the bill, whieh he hoped to do before Whitsuntide,he would
enter at length into all the details of the matter.

An lIoN. MEMBER wanted to know what was to be
done with the Carey-street site.

Mr. LAYARD must ask hon. members to postpone
their enquiries until he applied for leave to introduce the
bill.

THE COVICT 'WILTSHIRE.

Mr. BRUCE had to apologise to the hon. member for
Wiltshire for not answering the whole of his questions
the other evening. He had asked whether Charles Wilt-
shire was the same person who had attempted to murder
one of the warders in Gloucester Gaol. He believed that
one of the warders whose duty it was to watch Wiltshire
after the conviction fell asleep, and the convict
seized that opportunity to make a violent attack on the
man, but on the arrival of the, night watchman he was
quite calm. He hoped the hon. member would feel there
was a great difference between an attempt to murder and
a violent assault. The circumstances, however, had been
fully considered, when the fate of the convict was decided.

NEW PLAN OF 4111IGRATION.

selves a plan of emigration which promises better
success than some of the rash schemes lately talked
of. A society has been formed for raising
a capital of £250,000 by shares of £1 each, pay-
able by weekly instalments. The managers wrote to the
governor and Legislature of Nebraska, and received the
information they wanted, as well as the offer of a large
tract of laud at a merely nominal price. The societyintend
to colonise this tract, and by way of ascertaining
the whole truth with regard to it they have sent out
sixteen "pioneers," chosen by ballot. Should their report
be favourable, otlicr members will be ballotted for, until
the land has been properly divided. Here, then, is a
"self-supporting " scheme of emigration, conducted with-
out even a preliminary appeal to the public. The land
allotted to each emigrant is, we presume, to be paid for
gradually, but its original price will not render this obli-
gation a heavy burden. The result of this experiment
ought to be interesting to those who are contending that
it is the duty of the Government to assist in the wholesale
deportation of the working classes.--Pall Hull Gazette.

A case of considerable importance to masters
and worlontsn was heard at the flotheiham County
Court on Saturday. It had been sent down from a
superior court for trial. A lad named Coates sued
(by his father) the Parkgate Iron Company, Limited),
for the sum of .CSCO, damages for injuries sustained
by Lim in consequence of tlio alleged negligence of the
defendants. The boy had been made a cripple for life
by a quantity of red hot iron falling upon him from off
" trolly," which he was leading from the furnace to
the rolls. It was argued on behalf of the plaintiff
that the company wore responsible for the accident by,
reason of the metal flooring being uneven, thereby causing
the boy to be tripped up. The jury found for the plaintiff,
and awarded Lim £220 danvges. It is supposed, however,
that the superior eourts will be appealed to again on the
ground that the verdict was not in accordance with the
9ylclpoo.

THE WRIT FOR YOVGHAL,

There is likely to be a fight over the issue of the
writ for Youghal. Ministers intend moving for it
to-day (Tuesday). It is said that the motion will be
resisted by the Conservatives, who will endeavour
to obtain the notes of evidence taken at the trial of
the ele:tion petitions, and maybe will ask for a royal
commission.

TUE STRIKE AT PRESTON.

About 2,500 operatives were paid at the Weavers'
Institute, in Lawson-street, on Monday. The business
was commenced about eight o'clock in the morning, and
concluded between seven and eight in the evening. The
two-loom non-union weavers receive,' each, the three
and four-loom non-union hands ss. each, and the
union members Cs. With the exception of a
few slight disturbances outside the institute, got
up mainly by excited women, the general proceedings
were very orderly. The subscriptions for this week
from the various districts on behalf of the unemployed
weavers amount to about £330, a sum sufficient to pay all
bands and secure a balance for next week. An effort
has been made to amicably arrange matters at one
of the mills between a number of spinners and their
employers. The Manchester Typographical Society
has, it is reported, made a grant of a substantial character
to the Preston operatives. A meeting of delegates repre-
senting the associated spinners and minders of Lancashire,
Cheshire, Yorkshire, and Derbyshire was held in Man-
chester on Sunday. There was a numerous attendance ;
all the chief districts were represented ; good subscriptions
on behalf of the Preston operatives were banded in, and
a distinct determination to support those operatives was
evinced. On the same day a meeting of delegates repre-
Looineriandwels ihiakiTegl ~S.oucleutLo.,f
the proceedings it was determined to assist the Preston
operatives connected with those departments. With
respect to the proposed reduction of 5 per cent. in East
Lancashire, the operatives' executive have agreed upon
nothing definite, and the various districts will have to be
consulted before any definite action is taken in the matter.

SCHOOLMASTERS IN IRELAND

Mr. C. PORTESCUE said it was not the intention of
the Coverument to propose any revision of the sale of
salaries of schoolmasters in Ireland. The subject, how-
ever, was an important one, and would be fully con-
sidered.

DISEASED SHEEP.

Mr. C. FOSTER, in reply to Mr. Comm, said it was true

that oa the arrival of a cargo of sheep from Hamburgh the
custom-house officers found that some of the animals were
diseased, and they were at once killed, and steps wore at
once taken to disinfect both the ship and the wharf. Only
a few, however, of the sheep comprising the cargo
were found in a dieeased state, and a doubt
arose as to whether the disease was sheep-
pox, or another disease not of so fatal a character,
but it was thought that if any doubt existed it was
best to err on the side of precaution, so the sheep were
killed, although he (Mr. Forster) believed the disease was
not what it was supposed to be. With respect to another
cargo arriving from Antwerp, comprising 1,800 sheep,
only five were found to be diseased, and these five came
from a portion of the cargo, viz., 219 shipped
by one of the parties sending the animals to Lon-
don. The whole of that portion of the cargo
was, however, killed, and in another cargo coming
from Hamburgh only four out of 351 sheep were found to
be suffering from disease, yet all were killed. Lord
Defrey had the whole of the circumstances fully consi-
dered, and it was not thought necessary to re-enact the
order with respect to the slaughtering sheep on their ar-
rival from any foreign countries. The effect of re-enact-
ing the order would most materially affect the consumers
of mutton in this country, as a very large per centage of
the mutton consumed was foreign. He thought it would
be a great hardship to the metropolis to re-enact the order,
the more so as it had been proved that sheep-pox could be
quickly and efficiently crushed out without the necessity
for such extreme measures as were required to stop the
cattle plague. With respect to the question as to whether
the Government were aware that sheep-pox prevailed ex-
tensively at Holstein, he had to say that he had received
Information from Antwerp that sheep-pox did not prevail
in Belgium ; from Rotterdam Information had been receivd
that the disease did not prevail either in South Holland or
Zealand ; and from Hamburg it was stated that no case of
such disease had been reported in Holstein.

INDIAN FINANCE.

Mr. GRANT-DUFF said the account of the Home
changes were all fully published in the Government
Gazette" of India, and he thought quite in detail. The

"Gazette" was circulated, and ho had every reason to
believe the Indian public had full means of becoming
acquainted with them. lie thought the dissatisfaction
that existed on the subject arose from misconception.
SMOKING ON RAILWAYS.

Mr. BRIGHT, in roply to Mr. Cadogan, said ho was
cite aware of the antagonistic legislation which had

Aken place with regard to the Metropolitan district rail-

ways with ri.-speet to smoking. The Board of Trade
could not be expected to settle every thing, and under
all the circumstances he thought the matter had better be
left to the discretion of the directors.

Mr. AYItTON informed Sir C. Wing:ield that the rote

THE BANDA PRIZE MONEY.

Mr. GRAN T DUFF said there was some mistake about

the seven men in the sth battery 17th brigade of the
Royal Artillery not getting their share of the money. The
commanding officer said he had not received it, and ac-
cordingly the Madras Government had been requested to
make some inquiry into the mistake.!
