Myddelton-hall, Islington, presided over by Mr. C.
Gilpin, M.P., to consider the Government Reform
Bill. On the platform were Mr. Alderman Lusk
and Mr. Torrens, the members for the borough, and
many of the leading gentlemen of the different
localities, as Mr. Holborn, Mr. Samuel Smith, Mr.
Owen (of the Poor-law Board), and Mr. Hanson.
The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, said
that though he would by no means be disposed in
the matter of Reform to "rest and be thankful?'
even if the bill proposed by Government were car-
ried, he did not hesitate to say that the duty of Re-
fornaerri of every grade wee to joie hear t and hegd,

The Borou;h of Calne.

The following address has been forwarded to us
for publication. We have not as yet received Mr.
Lowe's answer :

Sir, —We, the other upper servants in the Marquis o
Lansdowne's household, feel it to be hincumbent on their
positions to notice a matter which has a great deal to do
with the priveledges of their order. Some low fellow as
calls himself Bishop, with other ekally dirty radicals, has
had the imperence to haull you over the coals, and we re-
grets to see that you have demeaned yourself by hargu-
ment with them. They seems to be a huneducated lot
as do not take in what's your place as a servant out of
livery, and what isn't. It ain't for you to answer the
door bell as 'as got "servants" plainly engraved on the
outside; that, ain't your place, and you hought to know
it. Though a servant, you're not a footman. When his
lordships rings, then you had best see what he wants and
do it. But never you go and take orders from tradesmen
and such like, as knows nothing about the best families.
We, the undersigned, has always bad the best places, and
have never allowed any interference in the house, and we
ain't going to begin now. We will stick to you, and as long
as his Lordship is satisfied, you will always find all the
other gentlemen and ladies in the steward's room quite
affable-like. But we has our rights and our rules, and if
you his agoing to have dealings with a low fellow like
Bishop, and them others as keeps little shops at Caine; andh
is
argefy with them as if they was your masters and nioushes
Lordship, the sooner you gets into a livery coat and
agin, and goes back to that last place where you had p a
good
character, the better.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

THAMES.
A FOOL AND HIS MONEY.—Ann Neale, a woman of the
town, aged 25 years, and described as living at No. 15,
High-street, Shadwell, was brought before Mr. Paget,
charged with two others not in custody in stealing sixteen
£5 Bank of England notes and 36 sovereigns from the
person of Mr. John Green, a master butcher, of No. 46,
Suffolk-street, Southwark. _ _ _

The prosecutor accompanied a female to an infamous
den in No. 13, John's-place, Baker-street, Stepney, where
numerous outrages and robberies have been committed.
He had £ll6 in notes and gold in his possession when he
entered the place and was robbed of the whole of it while
he was asleep. On awaking, the prisoner, who had left a
sailor in another room, only was present. The female
who took him to the house and the landlady were missing,
and had gone off with the booty.
The prosecutor, on the book being tendered to him, said
he did not want to give any evidence against the prisoner.

Mr. Paget—l shall not compel you to do so ; think
upon it.

- The prosecutor—l have done so.
Mr. Paget—lt may be that there is no ground for detain-
ing her. She is charged with stealing 16 £5 notes, and
36 sovereigns.

Inspect; Griffin of the K division said he had told the
prosecutor that the police would do all in their power to
find his notes and gold, and to apprehend the two persons
who had absconded, if ho would give his evidence and
assist them.

Hunt, a police-constable, No. 254 K, who arrested the
prisoner, said ho knew tho parties who had absconded, and
he had no doubt they were changing the notes and gold in
the country. _ _

Mr. Paget said the prisoner was charged with a serious
offence, and if ;lore wore any grounds for giving her into
custody, she ought to be prosecuted. It was also a very
serious offence to give a person into custody who was in-
nocent. He knew nothing of the circumstances of the case,
and the prosecutor could withdraw if he thought proper.
The Prosecutor—lf you will allow me to withdraw, I
will do so.

Mr. Paget—You can take your choice. If she likes to
bring an action against you for giving her into custody,
she can do so.

The prisoner here began talking loudly.
Mr. Paget—Bo quiet, woman !
The Prosecutor—There are reasons why I should not
go on with the case, although I have lost £ll6. I will
withdraw from the case with your worship's permission.
Mr. Paget—You will give no evidence against this
woman ?
Tha Prosecutor—No, sir, I would rather not.

Mr. Paget—The prisoner is charged with stealing £ll6
from John Green. lie will not offer any evidence. There
is no prosecutor, and she is discharged.
The prisoner bounded from the dock, clapped her hands,
exulting loudly on her release.

DREADFITL MURDER IN THE CITY.

At a late hour last night considerable sensation
was created in the neighbourhood of Cannon-street
West, in consequence of a most cold-blooded murder
having been committed on the premises of Messrs.
Bevington and Son, leather merchants. It ap-
pears that the premises are left in charge of Mrs.
Metsome, the housekeeper, and Mrs. Lowes, the
cook of Messrs. Bevington and Son. About ten
o'clock the street door bell was rung, when Mrs.
Metsome said, " I will go down, as it is some one
for me," and proceeded down stairs from the top of
the house. Mrs. Lowes, finding that the house-
keeper did 'not return for nearly an hour, went
down stairs, and was horrified at discovering Mrs.
Metsome lying insensible in the passage, and hn-
mediatelyraised an alarm. Mr. Inspector Shelford
of Bow-lane Police Station, and Acting-Inspector
Evans, at once proceeded to the house, and found
her in a pool of blood. Mr. May, divisional surgeon
of Bow-lane, was sent for, who on arriving found
life to be extinct, in consequence of dreadful blows
on the head, inflicted by some blunt instrument.
Every exertion has been made by the City police
for the discovery •of the murderer, but as yet
without success. The suspected murderer, is a man
to whom Mrs. Metsome was in the habit of giving
food and money; and it is supposed that her refusal
to give him money had led to the murder. A hand-
some reward is offered by Messrs. Bevington and
Son for the apprehension of the murderer, but up
to the present time no clue has been obtained.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—This EVENING.

The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'-clock.
The attendance of members this evening was very nu-
merous. The galleries were crowded with strangers, and
the interior of the house presented a very animated ap-
pearance. The greatest number of members were those
on the Opposition side of the house. Outside the building
a very large number of persons had assembled to witness
the arrival of the different members.
THE FRANCHISE BILL. _ _ _ _

A. great number of petitions were presented both in
favour and against the Government bill for the amendment
of the franchise. _

TOTNESS ELECTION.
Mr. BOUVERIE gave notice that, on Tuesday next, he
should move a humble address to her Majesty praying that,
corrupi practices having been proved to exist at the last
election, her Majesty will be pleased to issue a commission
to inquire fully into the matter.
REDISTRIBUTION OF SEATS.

Mr. MARSH gave notice that on Monday next he should
ask her Majesty's Government whether they they intended
to keep their intentions secret with respect to the bill for
the redistribution of seats until after the discussion on the
second reading of the Representation of the People Bill.
BEBELLION IN CHINA.

Col. SYKES asked the Under Secretary for Foreign
Affairs, whether reports or despatches had been received
from Consul Meadows, at Newchang. respecting the ap-
proach of rebels in December last, also from Consul Med-
burst, at Hankow, mentioning the proximity of a large
rebel force, and detailing the mea- urea adopted for tho
protection of British property ; and whether the Consuls
had suggested to the British Government any, and what
measures for the future safety of the foreign settlements in
China ?
Mr. LAYARD said the consul at Newchang appeared to
be labouring under some false alarm, as nothing of the kind
that he anticipated had occurred. There was no reason to
believe that 80,000 rebels intended to attack the place, for
instead of that number eight men had been discovered on
horseback outside the city, each of whom carried a bag.
A few shots were fired, when the men galloped off leaving
their bags behind, which were found to contain eight
women. Since that thole had been no further attack.
(Laughter.) He had the satisfaction of informing the hon.
and gallant gentleman that, by the last advices, his old
friend Taeping had been thoroughly exterminated. He
had not received the notification alluded to.

GREENWICH.

A public meeting, convened for the purpose of
supporting the Government Reform Bill, was held
last evening in the Lecture-hall, Greenwich Dr
Prior Purvis in the chair. About 1,500 persons
were present. Among those present were Mr. Alder-
man Salomons and Sir C. Bright, the members of
the borough.
Mr. E. J. REID rose to propose the first resolu-
tion, which was to the effect that in the opinion of
the meeting the bill now before Parliament is wor-
thy of the hearty support of the country, that the
meeting pledged itself to use all means to secure its
passing into law, but viewed with dissatisfaction
the clause in the bill for the disfranchisement of
dockyardmen, and hoped the Government would,
on reconsideration, withdraw that proposition. The
clause for the disfranchisement of the dockyardmen,
he thought, should never have been introduced in
the bill. He believed that the dockyardmen were
equal if not superior in intelligence and good con-
duct to any other class of men. The speaker was
prevented from saying more by the uproar which in-
terrupted him at this part of his speech. The Chair-
man called for order, but without immediate effect.
Mr. TUFFIELD, of Woolwich, seconded the resno:
lution. He combated the allegation that the ex
ten-
-of the franchise would be followed by
a n
alto-
gether
crease of bribery and corruption, which
a fallacy.

Government bill was the best that could be proposed
for the country.

BILL

Lord CHELMSFORD moved the second reading of this
bill, the object of which was to assimilate the law in Ire-
land in reference to the above class of practitioners with
that in England.
The LORD CHANCELLOR approved of the principle
of the bill.

The Marquis of CLANRICARDE supported the bill,
and showed the necessity that existed for an alteration in
the existing law.
T he bill was then read a second time.

On the motion of Earl DE GREY thief bill' was read a

ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSION BILL.

Lord RUSSELL said that he had received a letter from
the Dean of Exeter in reference to the bill which he (Lord
Russell) proposed that the house should go into committee
upon this evening, and in consequence of which would
postpone his motion for a fortnight.
COUNTY COURTS BILL.

The LORD CHANCELLOR, in moving the second
reading of this bill, said that it came from the other house,
and the object was to abolish the offices of treasurers and
bailiffs in county courts. At present moneys were
paid through the treasurer into the Trreasuy, but
it was considered unnecessary to retain it any longer ;
but that moneys should be paid into the Treasury. The
office of bailiff was also considered unnecessary.
After a few words from Lord CHELMSFORD, who
agreed to the abolition of the office of treasurer, but
thcught that of the bailiff required some consideration, the
bill was read a second time.

ETIECTIEI,ITS—iN THE SUPERIOR COURTS OF

The Earl of BELMORE moved for a return of the num-
ber of ejectments in the superior courts of Ireland, from

for non-payment of rent in each county; a like return of
the number of civil bill ejectments for non-payment of rent
for overholding, of replevins in the superior courts, and
also for replevins in the inferior courts for the like period.
The returns were ordered.
The house then adjourned.

of Newmarket. The boy is very promising indeed, with
good seat, hands, and judgment. He can ride sst 71b quite
comfortably.
Rococo, who has been frequently inquired after and
nibbled at for the Chester Cup, at long prices, was beaten
so signally in the Hambleton Plate at Thirsk, yesterday,
that his chance over the Roodee must be hopeless.
Mr. Frederick Martin wishes us to contradict a report
which was circulated last week to the effect that ho bad
taken stables at Epsom for the purpose of training horses,

THAMES ROWING CLUB.

On Saturday last, the members of this club met at Put-
ney to commence their season, and, being in pretty good
force, formed themselves into the following crews—two
eights, two fours, six pairs, and ono or two scullers. Hav-
ing paddled up to Barnes, they returned to the boat-house
in procession, and afterwards adjourned to their club-room
at the Red Lion, where, having paid due attention to the
wants of the inner man, the election of thirty new mem-
bers and the proposal of a. few others was proceeded with.
The captain took the opportunity of making a few sug-
gestions as to the practising of the crews, and other mat-
ters, and expressed himself highly pleased at the prospects
of the club for the ensuing season, and he hoped both old
and new members would attend on. the practice nights, at
Putney, on Wednesday in each week. The first pair-oared
race takes place on April 28. The entries close next Satur-
day, April 14, and a meeting will be held at the Red Lion,
Putney, at eight o'clock, for the purpose of drawing crews.

MONMOUTHSHIRE-TUESDAY.

During the past week there was a fair supply of lion*:
grown wheat at most of the markets in the district, but
business, on the whole, was rather inactive. Superio's
samples of home-grown fetched full money. Barley lvt.
in good demand, and prices ruled firm Beans were in fad
request and oats were not so much sought after.
The following are the average quotations:—Wheat, rq!
5s Od to 5s 6d per bushel ; inferior ditto, 4s 9d to ss. BT
white, 5s 9d to Gs ; malting barley, 36s to 43s per qr ;

black ditto, 23s 6d to 24s 6d.

LYNN—TUESDAY.
A fair attendance to-day, and but a small show of
if
wheat. The prices realised were the same as last weer;
Malting barley was easier to buy •, grinding descriptioD
were in demand, at late rates. Beans and oats fully n'
dear.
New wheat, 46s to 48s ; new red, 42s to 44s ; old wil'to,
t r
51s to 52s ; old red, 46s to 48s per 36 stone. Barley
malting, 37s to 40s ; secondary, 33s to 355. Oats, ne::
24s to 26s per 24 stone. Beans, small, 43s to 465. Pe'''
36s to 40s per 28 stone.

NEWCASTLE—TUESDAY.
At to-day's market there was a fair supply of wheat fro
the growers, but a small quantity coastwise, with, h?`'l
ever, a good arrival from abroad. The trade ruled f 1
fine English bringing an advance of 6d to is. and fora!
about 6d over the rates of last week. Barley had a plocl.t
rate sale, at late prices. Malt was firm. Beans were u'or
changed. Oats moved off at rather more money. Po of
from 6d to 1s per sack dearer. The average prices
British grain for the week have been—wheat, 46e ; barleo
36s 10d; oats, 29s Od per qr.

19 0N B 7i-P-MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL IN

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The directors of the Bank of England have not
made any alteration in the rate of discount. No
change has been anticipated since the last issue of
the weekly statement, which was of an unfavourable
character. A number of the bills discounted have
no doubt by this time run off, and as the demand
upon the authorities has not been large during the
past week, there is no doubt that the return to be
issued this evening will show that the reserves of
the establishment have not been further weakened.
The inquiry to-day for accommodation is rather
active, and the rates of the brokers have been firm,
at 5i and 6 per cent.
The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up
to this date, are in round figures as under:—

LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day).

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Winslow.)
IN RE LORD NIGEL KENNEDY.

This bankrupt, who is a relative of the Marquis of
Ailsa, is described as of Montrose House, Petersham,
afterwards of Boulogne, a non-trader, and to-day he came
up to pass his last examination, and for the order of
discharge.

Mr. Treherne (Treherne and Wolferstan, of Alderman-
bury) appeared for the petitioning creditor ; Mr. Lewis,
for the bankrupt; Mr. Nicholson, for the assignee; and
Mr. Iced for creditors.

Mr. Nicholson said that, on behalf of the assignee, Lord
Ruthvon, ho wished to ask Lord Kennedy a few questions
as to certain transactions in reference to a loan of £2,500.
It would seem that his lordship had been living upon his
wits for some time past, and had no income except that ho
deirved from his mother-in-law. There were certain de-
ficiencies in the accounts, and in the address pdt upon the
file of the proceedings.
Mr. Treherne remarked that at the time the petition was
filed he was not aware of the ba,nl—upt's addresses.

Mr. Nicholson said that the baul6.upt had received
monies in 1864, and had been livng, at the rate of £2,000
per annum. The assignee wished the bankrupt to account
for monies ho had received. This was not a case in which
the debts were hundreds, but they extended to thousands.
Ho (Mr. Nicholson) thought that an adjournment was ab-
solutely necessary.
His Honour thought that the assignee wished to look
into the accounts an adjournment had better be taken.
Mr. Nicholson referred to serious large sums which the
bankrupt had borrowed, and the state of the accounts,
which showed debts £11,396 and assets only £636.

An adjournment was then ordered for a month.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.)

IN RE GLADSTONE AND CO.-THE GREAT FAILURE AND

ENORMOUS DEFICIENCY.

These bankrupts were described as of White Lion-court,
Cornhilb and to-day was appointed for the last examina-
tion and order of discharge. The accounts (by Messrs.
Hart, Brothers, and Co., Moorgate-street) show debts
£349,568, and a deiciency of £199,689. It was understood
that the order of discharge would be adjourned.

STATE OF TRADE.

LEICESTER, April 11.—There is fully an average
business doing in hosiery goods, and trade gene-
rally continues healthy. In the rural districts also
business is active. Wools are firm, and prices con-
tinue high, the demand being steady. In worsted
yarns there is no important change, spinpers con-
fining their production to immediate wants. Cotton
yarns without material alteration. _

NOTTINGHAM, 11th.—There is very little altera-
tion in the lace trade. Business in many branches
is quiet. Black silk laces continue a dull sale, and
there is very little doing in narrow edgings. There
is a little doing in cotton goods, and all departments
of the trade will improve as soon as the weather
becomes more genial. Silk mechlins are still in fair
request. Manufacturers continue to act with caution
with respect to the Spanish shawl trade, not know-
ing what the fashions may bo during the summer.
Silk is dull, and prices are easier. Yarns are not
much altered in price. In hosiery there is a good
business doing. Shipping orders are plentiful, and
the home trade is active, all operatives being fully
employed.
