From the Times "Raymond's Heroine' is a clever and

A day watchman, named C harles M'Leod, saw
the prisoner, his wife, and child, all under the in-
fluence of drink, and acting v !ry extravagantly on
board the ship Edith Moore. The day watchman
at once suspected something was v-rong, and
searched the galley or cook-house on de( k, iu which
he found a Libelled bottle three parts full of gin,
and a jar with ale in it. lle asked the prisoner,
who was ship-keeper of the vessel, how lie came by
the gin, and to which he replied, " I bought
them at a public-house on shore.," bat could not tell
the sign of the house. M'Leod sent for the
mate of the ship, who discovered that a case
of gin had been forced opeu and plundered
and five bottles taken oat. The bottle containing
gin in the galley was exactly similar to the bottles
in the case, and labelled in a corresponding manner.
Two bottles of ale had been taken from a barrel for
exportation.
Mr. Phget determinei on sending the prisoner
for trial, on which the mato said the ship was about
sailing. In answer to questions by Mr. Paget, the
witness said that cases of gin and other spirits, and
barrels of bottled beer, formed part of the cargo of
the Edith Moore.

Mr. Paget said the prisoner was paid to look
after the property on board the Edith Moore, and
not to plunder it. The cargo had been broached,
and these persons were found on board intoxicated.
It was a most dis,graceful proceeding on the part of
the prisoner. He sentenced him to be imprisoned
for one month, and kept to hard labour, and he
was sorry he could not, without inconvenience to
others, commit him for trial.

CUMULATIVE VOTING.

Mr. FAWCETT asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer
whether he would give the house, or the Committee on the

ing the expediency of adopting the modes of voting called

turning more than one member to Parliament before pro-
ceeding to consider the mode of assignment of the seats
now at the disposal of the Government.
Sir J. PAKINGTON said the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer, who had been obliged to leave the house, had
asked him to state that he could not consent to enter into
any arrangement such as that alluded to, but to suggest to
the hen. gentllman that there would be no difficulty in
himself finding an opportunity to raise a discussion on the
question.

INCREASE OF THE EPISCOPATE BILL.

Lord LYTTLETON moved the third reading of this
bill.

Earl GREY said that ho had asked his noble friend to
postpone the third reading of this important bill that cer-
tain clauses might bo thoroughtly investigated into. He
thought that the further postponement of the bill for a
fortnight would give them more scope to understand
what were the provisions of the bill.
Lord REDES DALE said that it was most inconvenient
to do so. But he would ask in what form they
were again to discuss the clauses of the bill.
Lord LYTTLErON said that if the house wished it
he was quite willing to postpono the third reading of tho
bill.

A NOBLE LORD said that he thought it would be now
convenient if the third reading took place at once, and the
noble earl could then move an amendment.

It was then agreed that the bill be read a third time on
Friday, the 21st inst.
The Bid of DERBY announced that on Friday next he
intended to move that the house at its rising should ad-
journ for the Whitsuntide holidays until the following
Monday week.
Their lordships then adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS. —LAST EVENING.
Th© SPEAKER took tho chair at two o'clock.
PRIVATE BUSINESS.

The following bills were read a third time and passed :
—Central Cornwall (No. 2), Devon and Cornwall Rail-
way, Glasgow (City) Union Railway, Richmond Gas,
Towns and &wage Utilization, and North British Rail-
way (Carlisle Deviation).
BRANDING A NAVAL CADET. _ _

Mr. 0. STANLEY asked the First Lord of the Admi-
ralty if it was true, as stated in the public papers, that a
young naval cadet on board the frigate Phmbe was lashed
to a gun by some of his brother midshipmen, and then
branded on the nose with the mark of the broad arrow;
and, if true, what steps the Board of Admiralty intended
to take to punish the offendols.

Mr. CORRY said it having boon reported to the
Admiralty by the Commander-in-Chief at Dovonport
that a practical joke, of a vary disgraceful character,
hail been practised oa board the Phoe')e, the two young
ollizers in question had been dismisiel tho. service,
and a full iuvestigAtiou ordered jail the circa:mit:tacos
of the case. Oa seeing the notice on the piper this morn-
ing he telegraphed to D3vonport an -I received the follow-
ing roply :—" Wholly untrue that gunpowder was rubbed
in; now4papor reports greatly exaggerated; details will
be sent by post."
Mr. SIIAW-LEFEVRE asked if the young men had
been dismissed without a court martial or inquiry of any
kind ?

Mr. CORRY said they had been dismissed in conse-
quence of the representations made by the Commander-in-
Chief at Devonport.

Sir W. GA LLWEY observed that it was the usual prac-
tice to brand the clothes of young gentlemen entering the
navy with the mark of the broad arrow, and read a letter
which had been written by a passenger to the father of one
of the midshipmen. He thought the Admiralty had acted
m )st hastily.

THREATENING PROSECUTORS AND WITNESSES.—
James Ball, a boy 15 years of age, was charged
with entering a shop and stealing some cigars.
A little boy, who went to Mrs. Poole's, tobacconist,
30, Marlborough-road, found the prisoner in the
shop yesterday afternoon and saw him pocket a
handful of cigars. Mrs. Poole came out of her
parlour, when the prisoner coolly asked her fur a
glass of water and then walked out. Mrs. Poole
having been informed of the robbery told the
police, when the prisoner was identified and appre-
hended.

Mrs. Poole having stated that she had been shame-
fully treated by the father of the prisoner, a sum-
mons was served upon him in Court to appear in-
stanter.

Mrs. Poole said that on leaving the Walton-street
police-station she was shamefully abused by the
boy's mother, who collected a large crowd of per-
sons round her, and she was so alarmed that she
returned to the station for protection.
William Gunter, 316 B, proved that after Mrs.
Poole returned to the station, he went through the
street with her to protect her home. Defendant
came up, and the imputations conveyed in the lan-
guage lie used were of the most flagrant and indeli-
cate description.
The father set up a faint denial.
Mr. Selfe said his cunduct was most disgraceful.
If there were one offence more than another that
should he punished severely it was insulting or in-
timidating prosecutors and witnesses.

Defendant was fined 40s. or committed for a
month. His son was remanded.

FALL OF TIVO HOUSES IN CLEMENT'S
LANE THIS DA E

Much excitement was caused in the neighbour-
hood of Fleet-street and the Strand by a report
that at about half-past 12 o'clock to-day two houses
had fallen down in Clement's-lane, and that the
accident was attended with serious injuries, if not
actual loss of life. From inquiries made we are in
a position to state that the latter part of the report
was without foundation, although a policeman who
was passing at the time had a narrow escape, and
was covered with the dust and debris of the houses.
The scene of the accident is near the Carey-street
end of the lane, and the houses in question formed
a portion of the tottering dwellings, chiefly occupied
by lodgers of the humber class, and formed a por-
tion of those rookeries which are a disgrace to the
metropolis, in a sanitary point of view. The
wind being very high the early part of the day was
most probably the immediate cause of the disaster ;
but from the dilapidated state of the houses, such
an event was rendered very likely not to be a re-
mote occurrence, and it is not improbable that a
similar fate awaits those crazy tenements which
form no portion of the Government contract for
the site of the new courts of law. A body of police
was promptly on the spot, and with some difficulty
prevented the crowd which had assembled from
placing themselves in a position of great peril, for
the appearance presented by the other houses was
of a threatening character, and demands the
speedy attention of the proper authorities.

THE BOARD of MANAGEMENT of the
LONDON IIO3IGIOPATHIC HOSPITAL wish to
call the attention of their friends t, its position—during the
past year the beds have been almost constantly filled, and
the drain on the resources of the Hospital bas consequently
been great. They trust, therefore, that all the friends of
twece-pathy, both in town and country, will rally round
them, and thus prevent the necessity of curtailing the use-
fulness of the Hospital by the admission of fewer patients

CUMULATIVE VOTING.

Mr. FAWCETT asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer
whether he would give the house, or the Committee on the
B3presentation of the People Bill, an opportunity of discuss-
ing the expediency of adopting the modes of voting called
"cumulative" and "single" voting, on constituencies re-
turning more than one member to Parliament before pro-
ceeding to consid,:r the mode of assignment of the seats
now at the disposal of the Government.
Sir J. PAKINGTON said the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer, who had been obliged to leave the house, had
asked him to state that ho could not consent to enter into
any arrangement such as that alluded to, but to suggest to
the hon. gentleman that there would be no difficulty in
himself finding an opportunity to raise a discussion on the
question.

held out to the view of the cabman when he wanted
a vehicle. Another facetious writer says that he
was exceedingly fatigued the other evening, and
wishing for a cab to take him home he hailed
many coachmen, but all were or pretended to be
hired. At last he hit upon the expedient of pre-
tending to fall down insensible in a fit. Of course
he was soon seen by the police, who are empowered
in such cases to require the services of the first cab
that can be had, even if the driver be hired. Ac-
cordingly a cab was very soon hailed, and the police
lifted the gentleman into it with the view of having
him conveyed to the nearest station. No sooner,
however, was the gentleman comfortably seated iu
the cab than he recovered his accustomed health in
an instant, and to the dismay and astonishment of
the cabman, he said " All right, it's by the hour."
It should be explained that what is almost equally
disagreeable to a coachman as an order to drive to
the Exhibition is to go by the hour under present
circumstances, as to go a few short journeys would
bring him as much as to drive about the greater
part of the d.ty by the hour.
The weather has been temperate and agreeable
to-day, and again the majority of the population
of Paris seemed to be collected at the Exhibition.

capacities, belonged to the Scissor Grinders' Union,
gave an illustration of this. Ile refused to pay to
the union 2d. per week for the privilege of having
an apprentice, and accordingly he found one morn-
ing that six of his wheel-bands had been stolen.
After some delay and demur he agreed to pay the
money, and received an anonymous note telling
him where to find the bands. " I paid," he
says, " sixpence a week to the union, though I
was an employer of other grinders, and as such en-

titled to no benefit from the funds. I expected no
benefit whatever from pitying the additional 41 a
week, and 1 should not hare paid, only I knew my
bands would be taken U. 1 did not. I did not wish
to b_long to th 3 Union." So much for English
liberty. Truly, foreigners may well ask what it is
which we bo:lst so much about. Afterwards Mr.
PLATT left the Union, and the consequence was that
he could not get men when he wanted them. Ile
remained without men for nine weeks, not wishing
to get into a quarrel with the Union, of which he
seems to stand in wholesome awe. At last

he put on three non-unionists, and the
form of " rattening" then adopted was to steal
five dozen pairs of scissors. " I dared not,"
says the same witness, " go to the police the first
time I was rattene l' for fear of receiving some
personal violence ; I might, like others, have been
maimed for life." The member of a firm of saw
and file manufacturers gave a similar account of the
system employed. Some of their men not having
paid up, the wheel-bands were stolen, thereby inter-
fering with the work, and injuring both masters and
men. The men went at once to the Secretary of
the Union to make arrangements for getting the
bands back. They were told they must pay the money
due, and a certain sum for " expenses." Having
done this the bands were returned, or rather a note
was sent telling where they were concealed. "
Ho
did not give information to the police, as he did not
think they could have got the bands back." On
another occasion, however, for this sort of occur-

r3nce is by no means uncommon, a policeman cap-
tured a man with the bands in his possession.
When the Union found that he was in
custody, the secretary offered to supply
new bands at the expense of the Union.
On being asked why it should not be trsAted
as an ordinary case of larceny, he replied that he
never knew bands stolen for ()Ulu than trade
purposes. The system is, as we have said, so op-
pressive and exacting that it is only wonderful that
masters and men should so long have submitted to
it. As it is, we must remember that this " ratten-
ing" is the mildest form of annoyance, and that
much stronger means are often adopted to keep up
the influence and authori'y of the Union. Such
evidence as we have, too, gives us only half the
story, since numbers, both of masters and men, are
afraid or reluctant to come forward for fear of the
subsequent consequences.
