POLICE INTELLIGENCE-July 16.

GUILDHALL—An elderly woman, dressed in
black, applied to Alderman Hale for his advice and
a.siitance under the following circumstances :—She
said her sun had lately died in St. Bartholomew's
Hospital, and desiring that he might be buried with
his father, she claimed the body, when she found
that it had been idelitiaed and claimed by other
parties, and she now wished for the magistrate's
authority and interference to obtain the body of
her son.

Alderman Hale said it was very extraordinary
that there should be two claimants for a corpse,
and inquired what interest the applicant had in the
mat ter besides her wish to bury him with her hus-
band.

Applicant said she 'believed he had left a little
money, which she expected to receive.
Alderman age n=kei who and what her son was.
Applicant said he was a 4 constable in the police
force.

Alderman Hale asked if she was sure she had not
made a mistake.

Applicant said she was quite certain it was her
son. She had not se,-ra him for 12 years until a
few days Wore his death, when she identaltd •him
in his police dress while on.duty.•
Alderman Hale said she had better apply to the
steward of the hospital.
Applicant said she had done so, and she had been
to the police station, and sbe would not go again.
She came here for justice at the hands of the magi-
state, and she would not go anywhere else.
Inspector Foulger explained that the m us referred
to by this woman had been a very careful steady
man in the force, and that while he was on duty in
the OH Bailey during the last sessions he fell down
in a fit, and was carried to the hospital, where he
died. His friends had been communicated with,
and the result was that his father and mother came
to see him ; and they, e►s a matter of course, hat-
recognised him as their son, claimed the body.
However, the matter was easily cleared up, as
every information connected with the deceased was
filed at the chief office in the Old Jewry.
Alderman Hale then directed the inspector to
give the old woman every facility to satisfy her as
whose son the decased really was.
Inspector Foulger intimated that the applicant
was not of sound mind ; and in the course of the
afternoon that there was not the slightest ground
for her claim to relationship with the deceased,
whose father came up from Saffron Walden, and
remained with him until his death.

LAMBETH.—AIice Williams, 35, was charged
with killing Henry Rix, of No. 1, Coburg-cottages,
Neat-streer Camberwell.
A neighbour deposed that there was a distur-
batice in the street that morning. The prisoner
was on the ground, and Mr. Rix holding her by
both wrists. The prisoner was trying to throw a
stone at Mr. Rix, and was using very bad language,
saying, " That she would do for him," and " did
not care if she went to Horsemonger-lane, and was
hanged for intr."
From other witnesses it appeared that Mr. Rix
fetched a policeman, who remained with him about
an hour. Upon hi 3 departure, the prisoner forced
open the door and attacked Mr. Rix again. Some
boys called the policeman back, and Mr. Rix was
found to be dead, with a deep wound unier the left
.ye.
Remanded.

Matthew Jongman, a dyer and scourer, of 54,
York-road, Lambeth, was charged with defrauding
Matthew Jennings, of 33, City-garden-row, City-
road, of 81.
It appeared that an advertisement was inserted
in the Times, a few weeks since, which set forth
that the prisoner would, for a small consideration,
teach any resp,c iable man a light business, by which
he might be able to gain a good livelihood. The pro-
secutor went to the house and saw the prisoner, who
agreed to teach him his trade if he gave him 101.,
and that he would allow him 10s. per week as wages.
The prosecutor went to the house and was set to
wadi blankets, but after that th'sre was nothing to
do except two pieces of ribbon to dye. The only
utensils in the place were four tubs, one being a
dyeing tub. He had received 21. back in the shape
of wages, but at last all his things were taken away
for rent.
The constable said that the prisoner bad been
previously convicted, and had served nine mont
for a similar offence.
The prisoner was remanded in order to enable
the officer to make further inquiries about bun.

ing 40,000 rounds of ammunition to be despatched
to Gravesend for embarkation on board the Princess
Charlotte, and other vessels to be hereafter named,
under orders for India. The Adjutant. General of

Devonport, was ordered to sail yesterday morning
from Woolwich at an early tide, to discharge her

the Rhadamanthus since she was docked and repaired.
Her appearance is that of an entirely new ship, her
repairs having extended to every department. Her
three old boilers have been replaced by a couple of
tubular ones, and the machinery established on a
principle of increased horsepower, thus enabling
her to carry an additional quantity of 30 tons of
fuel under an accelerated rate of speed.

TELEGRAPHIC COMMITNICATION WITH

INDIA.

A deputation, consisting of the following gentle-
men, had au interview with Lord Palmerston on
Wednesday on the subject of the Red Sea telegraph
communication with India,_ China, and Australia :
—Mr. John C. Marsham, chairman, Mr. James
Allan, Sir G. Bonham, Bart., K.C.8., Mr. R..W.
Crawford, M.P., Mr. Chas. Freshfield, Mr. S. •
Gregson, M.P., Mr. Kirkman. Hodgson, M.P.,
Captain Hall, R.N., C. 8., Hun. Arthur Kinnaird,
M.P., Mr. 0. Rawson, Sir Macdonald Stephenson,
and Mr. A. Wilson. Mr. Marshmau explained
that the object of the deputation was to invite the
attention of her Majesty's Government to the ques-
tion of a telegraphic communication with India,
which, from the recent occurrences in that empire,
had become a matter of the most urgent necessity.
The association represented by this deputation
projected the telegraph to India, via the Red Sea,
two years ago, but had remained in abeyance, after
deputing an agent to obtain the necessary firmans
from the P,,rte. Meanwhile another project was
started for a telegraph to India down tie Eu-
phrates Valley, which the Treasury hid en-
couraged by a conditional promise of 12,0001.
per annum, and the Esst India Company had
agreel, at a cost assumed at from 200,0001. to
30D,000/., to lay down a line in connection with it.
from the head of the Persian Gulf to Kurrachee.
If there had been any substantial progress made in
the construction of that line during the last twelve-
month, or if facilities had been increased for it,
there would have been less occasion for this depu-
tation. But there had been no apparent advance,
' and it seemed improbable that it could be executed
before the line of the contemplated railway was
completed. It was to run through a wild country,
inhabited by barbarous tribes, ever at feud with
each other, and beyond the control of their: own,
rulers. The correspondent of the Tinto recently
stated that the Tanzimat at Coustantinopie refused
to encourage this telegraphic line down the Eu-
phrates, A

Mlss WRITE. —A correspondent denies that this lady,
at present a prisoner at Genoa,
is an agent of Mazzini ;
and says that she is not his wife, nor is she out of her mind;
but is a lady of high intellect and great philanthropy,
who, with a moral courage worthy of all praise, after
having endeavoured in vain to °Wein an entrance into
the medical and surgical institutions of England with a
view to obtaining her diploma, in imitation of the Misses
Blackwell and others, proceeded to Italy, with every
expectation of there meeting with a liberality in the an-
quirement.of the requisite profesaimal knowledge which
she had been denied in England.

was maintained until the last moment, when they

were underbid by the discount establishments,
and they found the business gradually slipping
through-their fingers and finding its way to other
quarters. Indeed, they might very properly have

It is, of course, the- business of the Directors to

The result arrived at was one that conld not be
tolerated by this country, and by acting promptly
and energetically, the Government removed the
difficulty, and obtained redress at a tithe of the
expenditure that might otherwise have been in-
dispensable.
Besides, the question has been already disposed
cf, by a competent tribunal. The whole of the
Eastern policy, that relating to Persia as well as
to China, has been made the subject of an Appeal
to the Country, and the nation has unequivocally
pronounced a decisive verdict in favour of Lord
PALMERSTON and his Government. The time
then for questioning the policy has gone by. Its
opponents were guilty of culpable 'aches in not
bringing the question before the House in the
same manner as that relating to China. And
having neglected the' proper opportunity, they
are now debarred from obtaining the redress to
which they might otherwise have been
entitled. It was, as Mr. DISRAELI declared,
when the- announcement was made in the
Speech from the Throne, at the commencement
of last Session, that the dissentients ought t ) have
come forward and boldly prot3sted against the
course adopted.
But while so far sustaining the Ministerial
policy, we think that, as in every other case of
war, whether English or Indian, the expenses
whereof might by any possibility fall on the
British Exchequer, not an hour should be lost in
laying the proceedings that had taken place, be-
fore Parliament, and asking for its approval. A
mere tacit or implied sanction is not sufficient.
There should be a direct c)mmunication, full in-
formation given, and a general approval asked for
and obtained. This is what the British
Constitution required, but this was not done.
And, although the time for censure or re-
probation may have lapsed, we trust that
not only the present, but all future Governments,
will respect the constitutional principle and the
universal feeling, both of Parliament and of the
community, and, whenever a similar emergency
shall arise, take the most prompt and effectual
measures for bringing the case before the Legis-
lature, and obtaining its assent to what has
already been done, and as to the general policy
to be observed with respect to the progress of
hostilities and the terms on which an honourable
and beneficial peace may be concluded.

own." But the unwise and ipequitable legislation
that has taken place has invested them with a
quasi national character. They are made the
controllers of the currency—the regulators of the
circulating medium, and they are enabled, by
making money scarce and dear, largely to aug-
ment their own profits.

They should not be placed in such an invidious
position, or be exposed t) the temptation of hav-
ing their duties and their interests pulling in op-

posite directions. A really National Bank is
required, which should issue really national paper
money, receivable in payment of taxes, and
which would always be in full demand to meet
the claims of those whose visits in this country
are by no means like those of angels, either few
or far between. The Government being respon-

sible, should receive the profits arising from this
issue, in place of handing them over to a trading
corporation, and paying heavily for the accommo-
dation it requires. We are firmly convinced
teat a total severance of the connection between
Bank and State, would be eminently beneficial to
both parties. The former would realise legitimate
profits, and be enabled to distribute as large divi-
dends as they can under Existing circumstances,
while the nation would benefit by the abolition
of banking monopoly, and the establishment of a
flee trade in currency, the great want of the pre-

sent day.
" Taxation money "—based on the amount to
be levied on the country, regulated by Parliament,
and issued in small and convenient denominations,
so as to answer for the transactions of every-
day life should be the great foundation
of our currency. The 14,475,0001. issued
on securities by the Bank, and the authorised
issues of the private and joint-stock banks, may
be regarded as so much "taxation-money ;" but it
would be far better if it proceeded directly from a
department of the Government, in which case,
being secured, not only by all the accumulated
wealth, but also by the thews and sinews of the
people, it could not be depreciated, nor would there
be any necessity for an ounce of gol4 being held
against it. Private banks might also issue piper,
convertible into national money—on giving satis-
factory security by a deposit of Consols, or other
valuable securities for its redemption. The
demand would in such case always regulate
the supply. There would neither be star-
vation nor extraordinary abundance. The
capitalist would get fair, but not exorbitant,
interest, and the mercantile, manufacturing, and
trading interests would be certain of a reasonable
amount of what has been justly termed
" the life-blood of industry." The use
of gold would be greatly economised. It would
be rendered altogether available for the foreign
trade, and it would be alike the duty and the
ecterest of the Government and of private money
dealers to maintain a stock adequate for
any emergency, and sufficient to keep the ex-
changes favourable to this country. The price of
gold would be by no means so variable an element
under such a system, as the rate of discount is
under that now in operation.

We cannot approve of the course decided on
yesterday, at the meeting of members favourable
to the principle of the Parliamentary Oaths Bill.
It was virtually truckling to the House of Llrds
—confessing that the House of Commons were not
the sole judges of their own privleges, and
making a fifth appeal to those who have already
contumeliously rejected four applications, and
who will probably treat the new one with as scant
ceremony t It weakens the position which they
were authorised to assume, cuts the ground front
under their own feet, and, to a certain extent,
confesses the strict justice of the course
adopted. Indeed, as we have already
repeatedly stated, the great mistake was
in ever proceeding by bill, in place of by
resolution. Had Baron ROTHSCHILD, when
he tendered himself at the bar of the House, and
offered to take the oaths in the form which he
considered to be "most binding on his con-
science," been admitted, much valuable time
would have been saved to the country, and a
subject that has occasioned great irritation been
completely set at rest. _ _

LONDON,- FRIDA.V, JULY 17, 1457

It is Lord JOHN RUSSELL who has again flung
down the apple of discord, by the new attempt
at compromise. This will be brought forward
this evening, in the shape of a Bill to amend the
Act Ist and 2d Vie cap. 108, entitled "An Act
to remove various doubts as to the validity of
certain Oaths"—the object being that each House
shall have power to regulate the oaths to be taken
by its own Members on taking their seats. We
can scarcely doubt as to the reception which this
bill will meet with from those who have already
so summarily rejected the various measures
carried by large majorities of the House
of Commons in four successive Parliament?.
To the bill so recently rejected, they were favour-
able in every respect, but one. They did not de-
sire that the blasphemous absurdity of swearing
against the claims of persons not in existence
should he continued, but that, orally thing was better
than that a Jew should participate in the national
Councils. When that appeal was disallowed, they
will not be willing to take the still broader ground
of permitting the other branch of the Legislature
to alter or vary the test according to their own will
and pleasure. When they so strenuously objected
to any change in the mere form, they will scarcely
place the substance itself at the mercy of their

opponents.
We believe, then, that the new bill will be a
certain failure, and that the attempt will be highly
derogatory to the honour and independence of the
House of Commons ! and will go far to justify
the other House in its unjustifiable assumptions.
It was not thus with respect to Lord WENs-
LEYDItei Nihen'he attempted to take his seat on a
patent limiting the Peerage for his own life.
,There the Lords acted boldly and independently.
They declared that they were the sole judges of
their own privileges, and would not tolerate even
1 the slightest interference. The manly proceeding
wag fully successful, and the vexed question was
permanently set at rest. But those sticklers for
their own rights, will not admit a similar prin-
ciple when asserted by the co-ordinate branch of
the Legislature. They wish t 3 be judges in their
own case, and also in that of the House of Com-
mons, and they have maintained the unwarrant-
able demand against every remonstrance.
The present bill seems to be the nliiniatissimuni.
It will go up with the significant hint, pass it, or
else - ! For the Liberal party by which the
Government is sustained and supported have de-
cided that the matter must be disposed of one way
or the other before the prorogation. Sooner or
laterlthe resolution 'proposed by Mr.prnLwYN
must be carried. It is the only practicable so-
lution of the difficulty, and we deeply regret that
1 it should have been decided to make another use-
: less attempt to subdue the perverse obstinacy that
1 has so long been maintained under circumstances
i that ought to have led to a very different line
I of policy on the part of their Lordships.

The Royal party quitted the private station at Nine
Elms shortly before 5 o'clock, the Hon. Ralph Dutton,
one of the director?, accompanying the train, the driving
of which was superintended by Mr. Scott and Mr.
Beattie, the traffic and locomotive mana,ers of the line.
Her Majesty arrived at the Farnborough station pre-
cisely at holf-past 5. General Kollys and staff were in
attendance to receive her, with an escort of the 4th Light
Dragoons under .Maj.r Portal.

From a portion of what fell from Mr. 110RetreK
last night, and for which his resolutions were in-
tendtd to obtain the sanction of the House of
Commons, we dissent Coto co-10. We are, how-
ever, compelled to admit that his assertions were
" partly proved," and that the appointed guar-
dians of the national purse had good grounds of
complaint at finding their constitutional functions
completely ignored in all respects save that of
providing for the l'quidation of " the little bill."
We have frequently expressed our opinions
respecting the Persian contest, and, believing it
to be a - just and necessary war, and that any
hesitation or procrastination might have been
productive of very injurious results to the honour I Inisri POlNT.—Under this saint., one of our local

till to-morrow mo?ning.
From Jamaica advices are to the 26th ult. The
island was healthy and business somewhat slack.
The sugar crop was over, and the greater pert of
the pro luce shipped, a considerable quantity of
which had been consigned to the United Statei.
Abun taut rains had fallen, and the canes pro-
rniAed. well for next year.
Mining operatous were being steadily cnnducted
and progressin,, fixourably. The ore at tie Claren-
don and the Wheal was greatly improved in quality,
and becomes richer in proportion to the depth ob.-
tained. The tide at the first-named mine was up-
wards of 12 feet wide. _ _ .

Of the Italians wno were at first arrested on the
serious charge of conspiring against the Em-
peror's life, and who are still in prison, one or
two have avowed their guilt ; the others deny
it. In the clurse ef the investigations con-
ducted by the authorities no complicity has been
brought home to any of the French refugees of

A Commissien of Inquiry is sent by the Govern-

The Moniteur publishes a decree crdering that
on and after the tat January 1858, the ten per
cent. levied by the treasury on the net produce of
the, municipal octroi received at the various sea-
ports on the coast of Algeria is suppressed ; and
that from the same period the ten per cent. taken
from the gross amount of the said octroi for the
expenses of c ellection and payment by the agents
of the treasury is reduced to three per cent.
A Paris letter, in the .Nord of Brussels, says:
—" I und.(xstaiici that M. Thouvenel has been
authorised not to follow up the protest presented
to the Porte against the acts of the caimacan of
Moldavia. The motive of this abandonment is
the me tsure adopted by the Porte of postponing
from the 12th to the 27th inst. the elections of
Moldavia for the nomination of the members of
the Divan, in order that the electoral lists may
be rectified conformably to the demands made
by the commissioners of the congress of Paris.
The advice of M. Thouvenel has led to this, policy
of moderation. It has been appioved of by the
representatives of Russia, Prussia, and Sardinia.
Lord Stratford de Redcliffe and M. de Prokesch
are said to have strongly opposed the concession
m 'de by the Porte " .
BOURSE, July 16.—The following were the last
quotations :

Governor D irling was expected out in the packet
of the 7th inst. No news in the political world.
From Barbadoes there is very little news. The
Waterworks Company's' Bill had bean somewhat
modified as far as the guarantee clause was con-
cerned.. The weather had continue I favourable
for reaping, and very little sugar remained to be
male. The young craps presented a healthy and
luxuriant appearance. The health of the island

was-good.
Froria St. Thomas's, on the Ist inst., we learn
that the yellow fever was on the increase, and was
.making gre at ravages among the shipping in the
harbour. The amount of fatal cases was beyond
the usual average. The barque Kingfisher, bound
to Janaaicas lost the captain, mate, and nearly all
hands by this dreadful malady.
Advices from Demerara sate that the contract
for steam communication between Demerara, Esse-
quibo, and Berbice bad been taken' by Captaiii
Spotton and Mr. G. Watson, an enterprising mer-
chant in Water-street.
Her Majesty's steam transport Perseverance
arrived on the 22d with 180 men of the 2d West
India Regiment, and had left again with the re-
maining companies of the regiment. Business was
dull. The weather had been showery and favour-
able for the growing 'canes, which were thriving
well. • The colony was healthy at the departure of
the packet. There bulb: en no late cases of cholera
The Court of Policy was sitting engaged in giving
legal form to the intentions of the Combined Court,
which bad concluded its session.
The report of the great success of the gold dig-
gers at Upata, situated on the head waters of the
Cayun, a river of this colony, had excited little
sensation. The labourers of Guiana have a fear of
the Yankees, and would be chary iu going beyond
'the-shadow of the British flag.
Mr. Drysdale, the newly-appointed Governor of
Tobago, had assumed office, and was gaining the
favourable opinion of all classes. The crops were
nearly reaped, and 3,000 hogsheads of sugar al-
ready shipped. Several vessels were loading and
waitingto load. The rainy season had set in mildly,
and the island was healthy. The canes were look-
ing well for next year.
Grenada continued healthy, and business was dull
its consequence of the completion and shipment of
the sugar crop, which exceeds that of last year by
about 3,000 hhds., making the year's shipments
6,500 bhds. The encouraging state of the sugar
market bad led to considerable patches of land
being brought into cultivation, the weather was
also favourable and the young canes were in a most
healthy condition, and sanguine hopes were enter-
tained ,that the next year's crop will produce about
9;000 lauds.
There is no political news at Martinique. Plenty
of rain had fallen, and the crops were looking well
for next year.
Sugars had been selling from 52f. to 55f. not-
withstanding the falling off of prices in the Euro-
pean markets. The yellow fever was making fear-
ful havoc among the shipping. The town of St.
Pierre was also affected, but not to any extent.
In other French islands the drips had increased and
still promised better. In all the West India islands
the planters had reaped good crops, and were using
every exertion to inc-ease the quantity of produce
next year to meet the demand for the staple.
From the Pacific there is very little news ; the
Government was raising a loan of 4,000,000 dollars
to complete.the Valparaiso and Santiago Railroad.
.The copper mines continued to yield abundantly.
New and very rich.mines hid beena discovered near
Pabelloa, which promised-- to yield abundantly.
Business at Valparaiso was unusually dull. From
the River Plate we learn that , the yellow fever was
decreasing, but Montevideo was almost deserted.
The disease was breaking out in Buenos Ayres. At
Arica everythin4 was quiet. Vivanco still' held out
at Arequipa, but the town was surrounded by the
troops of Generals San Ratnea and Treyre, about
3,000 in number. ViVanco'e troops were very en-
thusiastic, but the others were expected .to defeat
theta in 10 or 12 days from the date of advices, the
7th of June, when all would be over.

MORBID CURIOSITY.---The dwelling-house of Mr.
Smith, in Blythswood.square, has been an object of
treat attraction to t'se public for sours days p Ist,
On Sabbath evening last hundreds of people were col-
)ected at the house peering into the windows, examin-
ing the doors, and identifying the places referred to
in "the trial of Miss Smith. Groups of people have
during the week lieen constantly observed engaged in a
similar manner. On Thursday the morbid feeling of a
number of these fo,ilish gaping visitors carried them so
far as to chip off bits• of the stone wall, -and scrape off
quantities of the lime as relics. Some were actually
dropping plummets of lead, fastened by a string, betwem
the bars of the ground .fl.ior window, apparently with
the ludicrous idea of ascertaining bow love letters would
look when lying on the same spot. The house has been
closed since the apprehension of bliss Smith.—Glasgow
Chronicle.
