A statement has lately gone the round of the
papers to the effect that Lord Brougham's death
has opened the way for Lord Chelmsford's receiv-
ing an ex-Lord Chancellor's pension of £5,000 a
year is quite erroneous. There
is no limit to the
number of ex-Lord Chancellors'
pensions. Lord
Chelmsford has been in the enjoyment of his pen-
sion since he left the woolsack; and the nation will
save £5,000 a year by Lord Brougham's death.
There are now four ex-Lord Chancellors enjoying
pensions of £5,000 a year—Lord St. Leonards,
Lord Cranworth, Lord WestburY,
sod Lord Chelms-
ford. _

Yesterday morning a fire occurred in the village
of Aldershot adjacent to the Camp,
which, but for
the exertions of the military, would probably have
caused a great destruction of property. The fire
originated at the shop of a picture-dealer named
Daly, and when first discovered had not obtained
any great ascendancy. But there being no local
provision for the suppression of fire the flames spread
considerably before the Camp Fire Brigade could
reach the spot. The brigade, however, under Mr.
Douglas, attended promptly and rendered most im-
portant service, assisted by pickets of various regi-
ments. Captain Horne, Deputy-Assist.-Quarter-
master-General, and Captain Lockhart, Deputy-
Assist.-Adjt.-General, were also present, and gave
such directions as the occasion required. The
flames were subdued about four o'clock, the house
in which the fire originated being burnt to the
ground.

LONDON AND GENERAL WATER
PURIFYING COMPANY (Limited).
PATENT CISTERN FILTER, charged solely with animal
charcoal. The latest patented Filter in general use, and requir-
ing, when once fixed, no attention whatever. Patronised and
used by her Majesty the Queen at Osborne, by H.R.H. the Duke
of Cambridge, the elite of the Medical Profession, and at the
Fusilier Guards', Middlesex, St. George's, Ger Man, and London
Hospitals, and at the Regent's Park and Thwer Barracks, and
numerous institutions, breweries, &c.
Professor Frankland, F.R.S., in his analysis of the waters for
December, 1865, in the report to the Registrar-General, states,
With regard to the filtration of this water (New River) through
animal charcoal, it will be observed that, although the tutal daily
domestic supply of a house on Haverstock Hill has passed
through the same filter for seven months, the animal charcoal
still retains practically unimpaired its power of abstracting or-
ganic impurities."
*,,,* The above Filter was supplied by this Company.
The Filters may be seen in operation, and full particulars ob-
tained on application to the Secretary, at the Offices,
157, STRAND, LONDON, W.C. (FOUR DOORS FROM

THE TAILORS' STRIKE.—John Griffiths, a tailor,
living at No. 66, King-street, Regent-street, and a
member of the Union, was charged before Mr.
Knox with using threatening language towards
Israel Rose, a non-unionist tailor, residing in
Loundes-court, Carnaby-street, whereby a breach
of the peace was likely to be caused.
The Complainant said—Yesterday evening be-
tween 7 and 8 o'clock I was passing along King-
street when the prisoner came up to me and called
me a " —dung," and that if I would put up my
brains out." I
hands he would " knock my
managed to get away from the prisoner, and sub-
sequently he came up to me and again and again
threatened me. Ido not wish to hurt the prisoner,
but all I wish is not to be meste in the streets,
and to be at liberty to go where I d like.
The prisoner—l had had a little to drink, and
seeing the prosecutor 'suppose it brought the matter
into my mind.

what are you going to do now ? You
dung,
u -- cur,
I'll do for you, and break your nose."
Mr. Knox—ls this business still going on among
the tailors?

Sergeant Cole— It is, and is increasing. There
is still a good deal of ill-feeling existing, and it will
be worse before it is better. There is plenty of
work, but the men will not do it, and the masters
cannot get men.
Jr.r K....--Was the prisoner drunk ?
Sergeant Cole—He was not.
Mr. Knox (to the prisoner)—lt is disgraceful of
you to abuse one man in the public streets in such
a manner. I shall require you to find a surety in
£5O to keep the peace for three months.

MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new de-
scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without
springs, wires, or ligatured: They so perfectly resemble
the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori-
nals 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 that are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore, articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-
cation.

THANIES.

BURGLARY AND EXTENSIVE ROBBERT.—Yester-
day Joseph Barnett, a Jew clothier, of No. 10,
Elder-street, Shoreditch, was brought before Mr.
Benson charged with being concerned, with others,
in feloniously and burglariously breaking and en-
tering the premises of Mr. James Pengelly, tailor,
of No. 297, Mile-end-road, and stealing therefrom
property valued at £lOO.
➢ir. Stoddart, solicitor, defended the prisoner.
Mr. Benson asked if the case was complete, to
which Inspector Gee, of the K division, replied in
the negative. He said that a most serious burglary
had been committed on the premises of the prose-
cutor on Thursday night last, or early on Friday
morning, and the prosecutor's shop was stripped
of everything it contained except a few buttons.
There were others concerned in the burglary and
robbery who had not been apprehended.
Mr. Benson directed Mr. Thomas, the second
clerk, to take a short note only of the proceedings,
and to reserve the taking of a formal deposition
for the sessions until the case was ready for trial.
The prisoner was remanded for a week.

MARKETS.—(7 his Day.)

IBIPERIAL PAELLA 21EN 1

HOUSE OF LORDS—LAST EVENING.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took hia seat on the Woolsack
at five o'clock.

PETITION.

Lord CHELMSFORD presented a petition from the
Vestry of St. George the Martyr, Southwark, relative to
the crowded state of the dwellings within the parish.

THE EDUCATION BILL.

The Duke of MARLBOROUGH said that ho had pro-
mised to inform the noble earl opposite what course the
Government intended to take with regard to this bill. The
secoud reading should come ou on the 22d inst. It
was an honest bill on the part of Government,
and he should have desired to proceed with it
but looking to the posifon of politics and the affairs of the
other house, he was obliged to announce that the hover❑-
ment were reluctantly compelled to abandon the bill, and
therefore he muved that it should be discharged.
Earl GRANVILLE said that Ito approved of the course
taken by the noble duke in withdrawing the b►ll
under the present circumstances, cud entirely agreed
in the matter of the conscience clause. He regretted that
the bill itself could not bo proceeded with, for there
were itrin3 points which might have be,u
made the subject of discussion and improve-
ment. It was absolutely necessary, as Parliament did no
know what Government would do with regard to educa-
tion, that they should be informed what course was to b.)
pursued.
The Duke of MARLBOROUGH said. that there would
be no departure on the part of the office from the course
usually pursued until an alteration was made by
Parliament.

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

BURGLARY AND EXTENSIVE ROBBERY.—Yester-
day Joseph Barnett, a Jew clothier, of No. 10,
Elder-street, Shoreditch, was brought before Mr.
Benson charged with being concerned, with others,
in feloniously and burglariously breaking and
.en-
tering the premises of Mr. Janus rougelly,
lor,
of No. 297, Mile-end-road, and stealing therefrom
properly valued at £lOO.
Mr. Stoddart, solicitor, defended the prisoner.
Mr. Benson asked if the case was complete, to
which Inspecter.Gee, of the Is. division, replied in
the negative. He said that a most serionsbu;grildaaryy
had been committed on the premises of the prose-
cutor on Thursday night last, or early on
morning, and the prosecutor's shop was stripped
of everything it contained except a few buttons.
There were others concerned in the burglary and
robbery who had not been apprehended.
Mr. Benson directed Mr. Thomas, the second
clerk, to take a short note only of the proceedings,
and to reserve the taking of a formal deposition
for the sessions until the case was ready for trial.

The prisona was remanded for a week.

POTATOES.

The trade continues steady, with moderate supplies of
old, but rather increased arrivals of new. Prices remain
without quotable change.
COLONIAL AND FOREIGN PRODUCE.

suGAß.—Refined sugars continue at moderate request
and steady in value. Common English lump, 46s 6d. De-
liveries of raw sugars are good, and in excess of last year's
at this time, whilst the generality of warehouse is little in
excess of the relative deficiency to 27,000 tons. The market
opened rather quiet, but with a firm tone in the market.
COFFEE.—The market is healthy, with largo deliveries
and diminished stock, but there is still an excess of
5,200 cwt. over that of last year at this time.
TEA.—Public salsa of 11,500 packages commenced this
Pawning, with a fair competition, at the previous cur-

rency.
Rtig.-But little doing, and rates unchanged. Stock,
22,570 gallons, against 26,850 gallons last year, but a good
deal in course of landing.
Rice.— On the spot the market is quiet, and of 11,374
bags at auction nearly the whole was bought in, fine white
Bengal, at 168 to 16s 6d; Rangoon, 13, per cwt.
TALLOW.
The market is quiet but steady, at 43s 9d on the spot ;
the same for Juno, and 44s 3d for last three months.

COTTON.
LIVERPOOL, May O.—Sales probably 5,000 bales. Mar-
ket quiet and prices drooping.

The Italian papers state that an interesting
correspondence between Lord Byron and the
Armenian monks of St. Lazare, near Venice, has
been recently discovered in that monastery. It
will be remembered that Lord Byron spent a con-
siderable portion of his time at St. Lazare, and that
he cherished a great affection for the monks of that
interesting monastery, to whom he alludes in his
" Childe Harold."

The Orchestra says that a sort of male musical
Biflin is to arrive in Paris in a few days from
Prussia—namely, a violinist, who is reported to
execute andantes by Beriot and fantasias from
Aleyerbeer without arms, of which members the
artist is utterly deprived by nature. He places his
violin on a stool before him, takes his bow between
the toes of his left foot, and presses the strings
with the toes of his right foot.

The newspapers are teeming with references to econo-
my in tea by co-operation. Hornier= and Co. have for 30
years co,opers.teci through Agents to supply tea on more
advantageous terms than by the ordinary channel; their tea

,A statement has lately gone the round of the
papers to the effect that Lord Brougham's death
laas opened the way for Lord Chelmsford's receiv-
ing an ex-Lord Chancellor's pension of £5,000 a
year is quite erroneous. There is no limit to the
number of ex-Lord Chancellors' pensions. Lord
Chelmsford bas been in the enjoyment of his pen-
sion since he left the woolsack; and the nation will
save £5,000 a year by Lord Brougham's death.
There are now four ex-Lord Chancellors enjoying
pensions of £5,000 ayear—Lord,St. Leopards,
Lord Cranworth, Lord Westbury, and Lord Chelms-
ford.
Yesterday morning a fire occurred in the village
of Aldershot adjacent to the Camp, which, but for
the exertions of the military, would probably have
caused a great destruction of property. The fire
originated at the shop of a picture-dealer named
Daly, and when first discovered bad not obtained
any great ascendancy. But there being no local
provision for the suppression of fire the flames spread
considerably before the Camp Fire Brigade could
reach the spot. The brigade, however, under Mr.
Douglas, attended promptly and rendered most im-
portant service, assisted by pickets of various regi-
ments. Captain Horne, Deputy-Assist.-Quarter-
master-General, and Captain Lockhart, Deputy-
Assist.-Adjt.-Genera4 were also present, and. gave
such directions as the occasion- required,- The
flames were subdued about four o'clock, the house

REGULATION OF RAILWAYS BILL.

The report of Amendments was brought up, and
The Marquis of SALISBURY urged upon their lord-
ships that they should not persist in the clause which
proposed what he might term excessive supervision
over the companies. If they enforced this regulation
with regard to tickets, the effect would be hat the com-
panies would not alter their fares or lower them. The best
thing that they could do would be to leave railway companies
to take care of themselves, or they would introduce a system of
red-tapeism which had been found most obnoxious inGovern-
meat officers. The putting the price upon the tickets
would necessitate, when any reduction took place, the
printing of fresh numbers of them.
After a few remarks from Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEy,
tips clause was carried.
The Endowed Schools Bill was read a second time.
The sitting was closed at 25 minutes past seven o'clock.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—LAsT EvENWG.
The SPEAKEU took the Chair at 4 o'clock.
NEW WRIT.
Mr. ADAM moved the issuing of a new writ for the
Eastern Division of Worcester, in the room of Lord Cal-
therm now Baron Calthorpe.
The motion was agreed to.
IRISH CONVICTS.
Mr. TAYLOR asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland
whether it was a fact that a prisoner in Mountjoy Prison,
who declared himself a Unitarian, was ordered by the
governor to select his religion as Anglican, Roman ()Atli°,
lk, or Presbyterian,and that, on declining to do so, he was
sentenced to a penal cell, with bread and water diet ?
The Earl of MAYO presumed the question related to the
case of John Murphy, a convict, and which took place in
the year 1865. When the man was received in prison the
governor applied to him to know what was his religion.
The convict said he had none, and when he was
removed to another prison the governor at once
directed the convict to select his religion immediately—
(laughter) —but he still refused, saying that ho had none,
and had never been to church, and the governor then
ordered him to be placed on penal diet for three days,
(Laughter.) Two days after he had to be taken to the hos-
pital; but after he had been there about three day
he was discharged therefrom and again put on penal diet.
(Laughter.) He then selected the Roman Catholic re-
ligion. Penal diet did not consist of bread and water
alone. It would, however, be necessary to make a rule to
meet such cased for the future.
