CORN.

The weather continues all that could be desired for har-
vest work, whichis progressing rapidly.
The trade ( ontinues very quiet, and the influencesof au
early harvest are still in force.
At Mark-lane purchases generally were made with
caution, but the oats trade was rathez stronger in tone
than otherwise.

The few samples of new English wheat at markets are
of good quality and still sell at "fancy" prices, generally
about 70s. Old wheat are saleable only in small quantity,
at about 2s under the sales of last week, and foreign at a
similar decline; theca rates being the lowest point of
Monday last.

Grinding barley met a fair enquiry, and tends against
buyers. Malting neglected.
Beans and peas unchanged.
Oats in steady request, and supplies being less exten-
sive, rates are, if anything, rather firmer.
Linseed inactive, and unaltered in value.
NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL.

Meat—The extreme heat of the weather completely
unhinges the trade, and prices are too irregular to quote.
The most general top rates for beef, mutton, and lamb
was 4s. Veal and pork about the same. But something
more was paid in some cases, and much loss in a great
many more towards the close, as the weather rendered it
imperative to clear out.

THAMES.

DRUNKENNESS AND It OFFIANIS3I.—DanieI Collins,
a sturdy Irish labourer, was brought before Mr.
Benson charged with violently assaulting Mary
Briant, a woman about 40 years of age, with ban-
dages over her eyes, and blood and dirt on her face,
which gave her a hideous appearance.
Mr. Benson—l wish people would wash their
faces before entering the witness-box.
The complainant said that she lived with the pri-
soner, and was not exactly married to him. They
were drinking yesterday afternoon. They had some
gin at the Cornet, some ale in the Magpie and
Stump, and some rum in the King's Arms.
Mr. Ranson—Gin, ale, and rum this hotweather;
and you got drunk of course.

Witness—Yes, sir ; and when we got home to
Rosemary-lane he beat me and kicked me.
The Prisoner—We live in Royal Mint-street.
Mr. Charles Young, solicitor—Rosemary-lane
and Royal Mint-street is the same place. The
name has been altered, but the place has not been
improved.

The Prisoner—l really don't know what I
'e were both drunk.

Mr. Bansou—This is very frightful, indeed. If
I was certain you kicked the woman I would punish
you very severely. I believe the injuries to her
eyes are inflicted with your fists. You are sen-
tenced to 21 days' imprisonment and hard labour.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. —Yesterday morning, abm t
s wen o'clock, a soldier of the 2d Battalion, 6th Regiment.
at present 'stationed at Aldershot, named Edward
Evans, attempted to commit suicide by shooting him-
self. lie was observed by some of the men in his barrack-
room to he handling his rifle in an unusual manner.
Suddenly it went off, the ball with which he had loaded
it shattering one of his hands in a fearful manner. He
was immediately conveyed to the regimental hospital,
where he remains a prisoner under medical treatment,
Should he recover he will be tried by a court-martial for
the offence.

Majority against Mr. M'Laren's clause —l2
Viscount MILTON then moved the following clause, to
be inserted after that of the hon. member for Brighton
(Mr. Fawcett) :—ln case the county for which the county
rate is made shall be divided in two or more parts for Par-
liamentary representation, then the said expenses shall be
charged and defrayed by and out of the county rate levied
within and for that part of the county for which such election
shall take place ; and the clerk of the peace for the county
shall apportion such expenses amongst the parishes, town-
ships, and places only in that part of the county in and
for which such election shall hare so taken place,
as nearly as may be in proportion to the number of
persons whose names shall appear on the register of
county voters for such parishes, townships, and places
respectively; and the clerk of the peace, in issuing his
precept for the county rate, shall add thereto the propor-
tion payable in respect of such expenses by each of the
last-mentioned parishes, townships, and places, and the
same shall be recoverable in like manner and as part of
the county rate."

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said the proposal was
one that he must strenuously object to. It would not work,
and was altogether impracticable.

Mr. LEEMAN supported the additional clause, and
characterised the objection of the Solicitor-General as
futile and groundless.

AND SOUTH COAST RAILWAYS BILL.

Lord REDESDALE said on the house taking into con-
sideration tie rejection of an amendment on the part of
the House of Commons, that he regretted he must ask
their lordships to p3tsist in the rejection of the clause which
had boon struck out.

The Duke of RIOIDIOND considered that the feeling
of the house had not been to restrict the financial arrange-
ments of railway Companies. He would ask their lord-
ships, therefore, to disagree with the amendment of the
House of Lords.

The Marquis of SALISBURY said that he was in hopes
that the noble lord who had just spoken was about to
withdraw some observations which he had made about
the introducer of this bill. Ho had spoken at
first of the noble lords as jobbers in railway com-
panies, and now he said that they had circu-
lated rumours to serve their sordid interests. It was sim-
ply the question whether a shareholder should divide his
property or have it in one marketable share.

The LORD CHANCELLOR thought that they ought to
be careful in interfering with the internal operations of
rail ways.

Lord ROMILLY said that during the last few years his
time had been almost all taken up by the litigation amongst
railways.

On the question being put that the house do adhere to
its amendment on clause 55, it was declared that the non-
contents had it. A division then took place, when it
was found that the non-contents were in the majority, an i
the amendment was therefore struck out.

The Duke of BUCCLEUCH moved for the production
of documents in the possession of tne Commissioners of
Woods and Forests and the Receiver-General of the Duchy
of Cornwall, relating to foreshores.
The Duke of RICHMOND opposed the motion. The
papers would fill four or five folio volumes. Some of the
documents were in the British museum ; others referred to
Scotland, whereas the issue which the Duke desired to
raise concerned English foreshores; several were of morely
antiquarian interest, and the great mass were, at all events,
of a private character. He would not object to the con-
tinuance of certain returns to complete the series moved
for by Mr. Augustus Smith.
After some.brief observations by Lord REDESDALE and
by the LORD CHANCELLOR, who did not see why the coun-
try should be put to the expense of printing Mr. Pycroft's
antiquarian lucubration; the motion was rejected.
The house then adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS-LAST EVENING.
The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock.
TREATMENT OF PRISONERS.

Mr. KINNAIRD asked tho Secretary of State for the
Home Department whether he had caused inquiry to be
made as to the alleged hard usage of James Austin (re-.
ported in the Times of July 15), who was imprisoned in
Bedford Gaol, handcuffed, and a heavy deduction was made
from the money in his possession.
Mr. HARDY said the best answer he could give was to
refer the hon. member to a letter which appeared in the
Times of that day. _ _ _

This bill was also withdrawn.
CHURCH RATES.

The second reading of the Church Rates Regulation
Bill was postponed until the 29th of July.
CORRUPT PRACTICES AT ELECTIONS BILL.
Mr. K. HUGESSEN complained that at 12 o'clock last
night the Solicitor-General had placed a notice on the
paper to strike out a clause carried on Friday against the
Government, for throw:ng the expenses of the returning
officers for counties and boroughs upon the ratepayers.
Mr. DISRA.ELI said, on consideration of the cl use,
it had been foun•l that it would not work, and tinder tho,e
circumstanc,s he had given notice to the leader of the
other side that they im,ented to olive that the clans° be
rescinded. With respect to the farther consideration of
the bill as amended, it WaS the intention of the Govern-
moot to extend the act to Scotland and Ireland, and a great
number of technical a!tetations would be required to make
the act work in Irettml. If the ;e were opposed the inteu-
tiJu of extending the act to tLat country must be with-
drawn, but with respect to Scotland the difficulty might be
surmounted by the clause to be moved by the Lord Advo-
cate.

Mr. BSI:WELL and Sir C. OTOGIILEN, on the part of the
Irish members, expressed their gratification at the inten-
tion of the Government.
The House then proceeded to consider the bill as
amended.
Tho SOLICITOR-GENERAL then proceeded to move
clauses to extend the measure to Scotland. This having
been done,

Mr. M'LAREN moved the addition of a clause
similar to that moved by Mr. Fawcett in the English
bill, casting the expenses of the returning officer upon the
rates.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL strongly opposed the
clause.

my system during the last ten years proves its utility ; ;he
loss from every cause has not averaged three to the hun-
dred. Gapes and Roup (the two most fatal diseases which
attack game). the birds have been and always are free
from. This is attributable to their robust constitution
and excellent condition. Pheasants fed on my fool show
their beautiful plumage with hardness and closeness of
feather to the greatest advantage ; they cannot be sur-
passed.
The magnificent Fgreign and English Pheasants at the

Majesty's Pheasantry at Compiegne and St. Germains, are
fed with my food.

F.R.S.

Mr. Eyre having been committed to take his trial, the
Committee of this Fund earnestly INVITE SUBSCRIP-
TIONS to defray the great expenses to which he will
thereby be subjected, and as a protest against the proceed-
ings of •the so-called Jamaica Committee. Civil proceed-
ings are also pending in the Court of Queen's Bench, en-
tailing very heavy expenditure.
With reference to Mr. Charles Burton's letter to The
Times of the 25th inst., stating that " it is notorious that
sums vastly beyond all possible costs are at his disposal,"
in other words, that pecuniary assistance is not needed on
account of the vast sums subscribed for the defence, the
Committee desire to state that there is not a shadow of
foundation for such an assertion. It is a well-known
matter of fact that it would have been absolutely impos-
sible for Mr. Eyre in any way to have met the expenses of
the civil and criminal prosecutions that have been carried
on so persistently against him for the last two s-ears but
for the generous aid of the public.
Subscriptions to be paid to the credit of " The Eyre De-
fence and Aid Fund," with the United Service Company.

the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori-

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

LAMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN
EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the
bowels or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-
lieving coughs, colds, confirmed cases of asthma, and inci-
pient consumption. It frequently cures persons whom the
faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the
ticking which provokes frequent coughing. In approach-
ing consumption its effects are truly beneficial. Persons
deprived of sleep, or even lying down for fear of suffoca-
tion, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it.
Prepared only and sold by W. LAMBERT, Chemist, 8,
King William-street, Charing-cross, London, and by all
druggists, is bottles, 130., and three quantities in one,
2s. 9d. each. Be particular, and ask for Lambert's Asth-
matic Balsam. The name and address are engraved on the

WESTMINSTER.

ROBBERY IN CREDIORNE GARDENS.--Jane Ander-
son, described as a widow, and Samuel Hole, were
charged, the former with stealing a purse contain-
ing 16s. from the person of Mrs. Bessie Fox, a
married lady, residing at 13, Park-road, Chelsea,
and the latter with being concerned with her in the
felony.
Mr. W. D. Smyth, solicitor, of Rochester-row,
defended Hole.

Mrs. Fox said that a little after twelve last night
she was with her husband in Cremorne Gardens,
and was about to leave, when the female prisoner
placed herself close to witness and tried her pocket.
She told her husband, who was by her side, that the
prisoner had robbed her, and as she did so the male
prisoner came up and put his hand on her arm.
They removed away together in the crowd, and
witness and her husband followed and gave them
both into custody. They resisted violently, but
were locked up.
Mr. Russell Fox corroborated his wife.

Henry King, 333 T, proved taking Anderson
into custody. She strongly denied the charge, and
on the road to the station threw away something,
but he did not see what.

John Eagleston, 316 T, said he took the mail
prisoner, who denied the charge. On the way to
the station he resisted violently, and the female
prisoner threw away a watch, which he picked up.
It is by Adams, of Stourbridge, No. 14,320. The
male prisoner tried to get away at the moment, but
was caught by a civilian.
Gertrude Hide, the female searcher, proved that
after a great resistance she took from the female
another silver watch by Blondel, of Geneva.
Mr. Smyth contended that his client was an in-
nocent man ; taking the woman for a gay lady be
asked her to come with him and touched her arm,
for which he was locked up.
They were remanded till Tuesday, bail in £2O
being required for the man.

RAILWAYS IN ALGERIA.—The Paris, Lyons, and
Mediterranean Railway Company is now making lines in
Algiers—viz., from Algiers to Oran and from Philippe-
villa to Constantine. The outlay made by the company
upon these lines in 1867 was £1,004,740, and to the close
of 1867 £2,744,947. A great deal of work still remains to
be done upon the lines, and they will not be fully com-
pleted before 1870. The French Government has granted
a subvention for these lines to the amount of £3,000,000,
and a guarantee of 5 per cent. per annum on the capital
expended upon them in excess of that amount.
OXFORD UNIVERSITY RIFLE CORPS.—After six
days' competition, 15 rounds each day, the following twelve

EDUCATION.

Mr. BRUCE asked tho Vice-President of the Committee
of Council on Education whether the Government, having
withdrawn their Education Bill, it was their intention to
propose the repeal or alteration of Article Eight of the
Revised Code, so as to admit sacular schools to the benefit
of the Parliamentary grant.
Lord R. MONTAGU said it had b6en determined to in-
troduce a general measure of education during the present
session, which it was hoped would be satisfactory to all
parties; but it had unfortunately been withdrawn. It
was not thought advisable to deal merely with one branch
of the subject. He regretted that Congregational bodies
who had altered their trust deeds would be inconvenienced
by such a course.
THE WAR OFFICE.

Mr. LABOUCHERE asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department whether he had any objection to lay
on the table of the house a return of the number of causes
standing for hearing before the House of Lords at the
commencement of the present Session of Parliament, and
of the number already heard during the present Session ;
with the number of days on which the Lords had sat for
hearing appeals, and the number of hours occupied on each
day of sitting, and the names of the Lords who sat on
each day.
Mr. HARDY said if the hon. member would move for
the information in the form of a return no objection would
be made to it. _ _

ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

BLACKBURN.—There will be a hard fight in this borough,
which is at present represented by two Conservatives—
Messrs. J. Feilden and W. H. Hornby. A meeting of
the Liberals has been held, and it was resolved to invite
Mr, M. Feilden, who formerly represented the borough,
and Mr. J. G. Potter to come forward.

G-ATESHEAD.—It has been determined to oppose the
Right Hon. Sir W. Hutt at the next election. Mr. J.
Newton will be brought forward by the Conservative
party, and he has pledged himself to go to the poll.

NEW Ross.—The vote of Colonel Tottenham in favour
of Lord Stanley's amendment on the Irish Church has
caused same dissatisfaction among the Roman Catholic
clergy, and at a public meeting it was decided to ask for
an explanation of the gallant member's conduct. Canon
Kenny, who presided, said that if the people of Ros%
wished him to guide them, he would recommend them a
representative in whom they might rely ; but " if he was
to guide them, he must get his own way to a certain
extent."
