OBSCENE PUBLICATIONS BILL.

Lord CAMPBFL,L expressed his satisfaction at,
hearing that the anntnonk, had passed this bill with cer-
tain atnendmen•s. These amendments were quite in the
spirit of the bill, and on Monday neat he should mova
that their lordships should agree to these alterations.
THE MUTINY IN INDIA.

The Earl of SHAFTESBURY, seeing the noble earl
the Lord President of the Council in his place, moved
for the production of a copy of the order issued by the
Commander-in-Chief of the Bombay army requiring
that the ranks of the native army should only
be recruited from the high caste division of the
population. He believed that that order had been
issued a few days before the mutiny in the Bengal army
broke out, and it was then cancelled by the local Go-
vernment. Nevertheless it was necessary that that
order should be produced, in order that their
lordships might be iu a positifm to judge whether
such a provision as that order enforced did not
form an element in occa,ioning the revolt. It
was the opinion of all parties acquainted with India
that nothing tended more t 3 the laxity of conduct, or
to excite a spirit of mutiny than such an exclusive
system as that which he had referred to, Nothing was
more calculated to make the naives arrogant and proud
than this homage to caste. The only question to be
considered was not who was the best but who
would make the most loyal soldier.

Earl GRANVILLE said there was not the slightest
objection to the production of the paper moved for by the
noble earl. It was only fair to the commanding
officer referred to to obs,-rve that it was the natural
wish of the European officers generally that the solliers
enlisted should be of the highest caste. It was a great
65 mistake to suppose that this or any similar
order led to the mutiny in the Bengal army.
It would be presumptuous in him in the present
state of affairs to give any distinct pledge au to thecourse
that would be aiopted with respe4 to the re-organisation
93 of the Indian Army.
88 The subject then lropped.

THE NOTICE PAPER.

Mr. GRIFFITH submitted t the Speaker the ques-
tion, whether when an important amendment placedjupon
the notice paper was subsequently altered in its leading
principle, it wculd not be desirable that some note of
such change should be appended to it.
The SPEAKER said he thought it would create
great difficulty and complioatioss to adopt the course
suggested. He thought also it was not too much to
expect from every hon. member that he read the notice
paper each day.
The motion was then agreed to and the House ad-
journed at half-past three o'clock.

SOUTH WARS.

VIOLENT ASSAULT BY A MAN ON HIS WIFE.—A.
toba.moni,t, named Di urey, of Tooloy-street, Borough,
was charged before Mr. Sticker, the presiding magill*
bate with striking and otherwise Musing his wife.
The complainant whose eyes were blackened and
whose face exhibited unmistakable evidence of illusage,
deposed that f,r a long time she bad been cruelly
Lreatod by her husband, and she was obliged
some time back to bring him before the same Bench for
his violent conduct. She had four children by him, and
therefore did not want to have him punished more than
that, his Worship should bind him over to keep the peace.
Upon the deposition being banded to complainant to
sign, she wept and said she did not wish to do it, but,
atter some heeitation, attached her name to the document.
The magistrate inquired whether the prisoner was
given to habits of drink ?
The complainant—l am sorry to say that he is very
seldom sober ; but. when he is sober tie behaves kindly
towards me.
The magi trate said it was quite clear to bins that the
pri,nner had given himself ov, r 0 Lhat vicious practice
of excessive drinking, by which he made himeeit mead
and then knocked and il:-used his wife, whin he ought
to nourish and protect, and for so doing he should sen•
tence him to three calendar months imprisonment with
hard labour.
The prisoner upon hearing the sentence appeared per.
fectly electrified, and be ejaculated, Oh, good God,'3

THAMES,

DAMEG STREET ROBBERY.— John Smith, a stout able•
bodied ruffian, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged.
with s:ealing a watch and chain, the property of Paul
Vicktnan, a foreigner.
The prosecutor, a seaman, was passing along Rateliff
Highway this (rnning at half-past ten o'c:ock when the
prisoner came up to him, stared him in the face, and
made a snatch at his watch. It was, however, so well
Itetened to the chain ano ring and othewise secured that
the chain br ke and the prisoner ran away with it, the
atch at the same time fallirg at the sailor's feet. Walker,
a tiol.ce-co stable, No. 56 K, who had been watching
the prisoner and saw the whole transaction, ran after
him, and after a long chase overtook him and seiz3d him
by the collar. The prisoner made a determined, resist-
ance, and Walker was compelled to throw him down,
and with the assistanc3 of others secured the fellow, who
was i,lentified by Roche, the gaoler of the court, as hav-
ing been in 114 mgt. dy for a felony five years ago, but he
could not say waist was done with him on that occasion.
Wacker produced the sailor's chain, which he found
secreted on the prisoner.
The prisoner, in defence, said it was a mistake ; he
had neither watch or chain.
Mr. Yardley c.trivicted the prisoner as a rogue and
vagabond, and sentenced him to three months' imprisoa•
moat and hard labour.

LONDON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 21, 18E7

Many valuable suggestions were offered to tut
Government last night on the third reading of the
Militia Bill. Lord PALMERSTON, as usual, pro-
mised that they should receive every attention,
and that a.dvantage would be taken of any of them
which might seem to conduce to the efficiency of
the public service. These general promises are,
however, easily made, and are hut too seldom
thought of afterwards, until Parliament is again
sitting to enforce the necessary proceedings. We
should have been pleased if there had been an an-
nouncement that some of the most obvious and
beneficial of these propositions had already been
acted on, and that ample powers had been taken to
be prepared for any alternative that may arise.
The Premier declared that if between this time
and the period when Parliament usually meets,
it should be necessary to ask for further assist-
ance, he was sure that no members of the House
Would grudge the attendance, which might be
required to afford ttiat assistance to the Govern-
ment. We are perfectly satisfied an that point ;
but We beg to remind the Noble Lord, that con-
sideralule time must be lost before Parliament
could be
Convened, and that when every clay
would be of pital. importance. As we some time
since pointed out it would be very valuable if
the militia regiments that may be embodied
should be authorized
to serve in our Mediter-
ranean or other colota„
s---nay, more, in India
itself; if they volunteered for that duty. They
might certainly replace the regular troops at
Malta, who could be forwarded in
a very short
time by the overland route. Had
this course
been adopted, at least 5,000 men could have
been added to those who were intercepted en
route to Chita, and thus there would have been
no less than 10,000 disciplined and efficient
troops added to the strength of the Indian execu-
tive, a number quite sufficient to have turned the
scale, and insured the speedy suppression of the
mutiny.

The. proposition to despatch 1,000 sappers and
miners, with the least possible delay, is one Via'
should be forthwith acted on. As Sir F. SMITH
truly declared, there is a great demand for erg -
neers in India ; and even if the next mail should
announce the fall of Delhi, there would still
be abundant work on which they could
be very usefully employed, in the con-

PRICE or GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris is
about 7 per mills premium, and the short exchange Oa
London is 25.25 per 1/. sterling. On comparing thee°
rates with the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 100. per
ounce for standard gold it appears that gold is nearly
4-IMs per cent. dearer in Paris than in Londom By,
advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 424 per
mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.4} per
U. sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price
is therefore at about 1-13th per cent dearer in Hamburg
than in London. The course of exchange at New York
on London for bills at 60 days' sight is variously quoted
at from par up to 105 per cent., the latter being for
first-class paper only. There iv, consequently, at pre-
sent an advantage in sending gold from this country,
as compared with drawing bills from America.

VIOLENT ASSAULT AT A. STATION-HOUSE.--Emily
Smith, a low prostitute, was charged before Mr. Beadon
with violently assaulting Noran Holland, by stabbing
her in the eye at the Vino-street Pollee-station.
It appeared that the prisoner and the prosecutor,
whose eyes were bandaged up, and who appeared to be
in great pain, were taken into custody at an early hour
this morning for being drunk and quarrelling. On the
charge being preferred by Webber, 207 C, before Inspec-
tor Parke, at the station-house, the prisoner Smith,
whose conduct was dreadfully vio:ent and offensive,
made a rush at the woman Holland, and 'truck her
with something she had in her hand a violent
blow in the left eye, from which the blood flowed
freely. Complainant immediately called out, "My
eye is out," and pulled cut something and threw it
towards him. This be subsequently ascertained to be a
hairpin, covered with blood, which the prisoner had
used when striking him. The wound appeared to be of
such a dangerous nature tilt he at once sent for a surgemi
and had it dressed.
. The prisoner denied having struck her with the hair-
pin. The fact was they had a quarrel about a shilling
which she had lent her. Instead of paying her the
money she (prosecutrix) with her companions set upon
her and nearly tore her to piece'.

THAMES.
THE ALLEGED VICTIM OF THE POLlCE.—During the
in vestigatnm of the night charges, this day at 12 o'clock,
Selfe addressed Inspector Dendy of the I-I division,
and inquired the state of the patient William Wiliiams,
seaman who had been taken to the Dreadnought Hos-
pital ship, on the morning of the 26th ult., and who, in
the belief that he was about to die, made a deposition
that he was severely maltreated by two pollee constablee

of the H division, on the morning of the 24t11 ult., is
Ratcliff-highway.
Inspector Deudy said the seaman Williams was much
better.

Mr. Selfe—l am glad to hear that. On the day I took
his depositions it was not expected he would survive
many hours. Is he likely to recover ?
Inspector Dendy—l believe he is, sir.
Mr. Selfe—Ths two policemen will be forthcoming if
necessary
Inspector Dendy—Yes, sir.
Mr. Selfe—Was the man Williams sober on the night
in question ?
Inspector Dandy--He said in hie deposition he had
drunk five glasses of gin. I can obtain no further poi-
ticulars about him.
The conversation then terminated.

RUSSIA.

The lnvalide is kind enough •to favour us at
length with its own explanation of the leading
motive which impelled the Emperor to the two
Imperial meetings at Stuttgart and Weimar :
Universal peace—that was t'i'e object of the
Emperor Alexander ll.'s journey. People who want to
unriddle the rencontre in Stuttgart will find the answer
in the meeting at Weimar. At both places the object
was not the formation of new alliances, but the attain-
ment of personal approximation. Alliances are generally
formed for some special definite object. The great
mistake of the Holy Alliance was, that it was not based
on any positive idea. This alliance, in spite of its
magniloquent programme, declared no war against
Belgium ; when it separated itself frona Holland it
entered on no confint with the Revolution of July,
aid still less with that of February. The late meeting
of the Emperor of Russia with the Emperor of the
French shows, most convincingly, that the Holy Alli-
ance which had taken upon itself b3foregone conclusions
to Prwas a mere airy fabric of
the brain, a path t
devoid ofo hailbY' lt)prractical applicability. The
Holy Alliance has bequeathed to the after-world the
conviction that monarchs and nations by no means
stand in need of the creation of special obligations to
be able to live quietly and peaceably together, and
strive together for the development of civilisation. It is
not till some State or other, led astray by passion or by
some false combination, seems about to encroach on the
rights or the existence of other Powers, that a more in-
timate union among other States, which find their
advantage in combining their efforts to avert the danger,
shows itself to be a necessity. And when this proximate
object is attained, this spccial league blends into that
general alliance which is so absolutely necessary for the
necessary for the interests and the development of
civilisation of all the nations of Europe."

MANSION-HOUSE.

IMPORTANT TO EMIGRANTS AND SEAMEN.—Mr. Gen,
Ritche, of 11, Cavendish-road, South Lambeth, made
an applicatio❑ to the eitting magistrate for permission
to wake some experiments of importance to the com-
munity at large upon the river Thames. The applicant
stated that his request was in reference to some cork
beds which were now corning gradually into use among
all individuals going to sea. What be (Mr. Ritchie)
required was permission to make a few public experi-
ments upon the river Thames, between Chelsea-bridge
and Richmond.
The Alderman referred the applicant to the Lord
Mayor, and asked the nature of the experiment.
Applicant said it would merely be a testing experi-
ment, as to the length of time a person might be
buoyed np by the mattrase. Applicant then thanked
his worship and withdrew.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

(Sittings in Banco, before Lord Chief Justice Cock
burn, Justices Williams, Crowder, and Willes.)

KING Y. THE ACCUMULATIVE LIFE FUND AND GENERAL

ASSURANCE COMPANY.

The arguments part heard yesterday were resumed
this morning.
The case came before the court on an application to
enter a non-suit. The plaintiff was a policy holder in
the company and alleged that the company had ceased
to continue their business and had improperly alienated
their funds to the Australian Company, and claimed a
restitution of the money paid. At the trial a 'verdict
was taken for the plaintiff with leave to move to enter
a nonsuit.

The court were unanimously of opinion that the
action could not be maintained, and made the rule
absolute for a nonsuit.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.)

IN RE TILLEY.

This bankrupt was described as an innkeeper at
Walton-upon-Thamsv, and to-day came up for his cer•
tificate.

From the report of the official assignee, it appears
that the debts are about 6661 , and the assets will pay
a dividend of 24. tid. in the ponnd. The bankrupt
commences his balance sheet May, 1855, with a defi
ciency of 871., and he had not kept any cash book, and
the greater part of the expenses were unvouched. Messrs
Paul and Turner had therefore some difficulty in making
out the balance sheet, which although the best which
could be rendered, was far from satisfactory.
There was no opposition, and the bankruptcy took
place six months since.
His Honour said it was a case in which he could not
grant a certificate immediately, but must suspend it for
three months, and then to be of the third class. Protec-
tion granted.
London, England, 1857-11-04

IN RE WARRINGTON.

This bankrupt was described as of the New Corn Ex-
change, and Mark-lane, corn merchant, and applied for
his certificate.

The assignees spoke highly of the bankrupt.
His Honour granted an immediate certificate of the
second class, and said he wished to mark his opinion by
stating that the bankrupt was a perfectly honest man.

CANTERBURY HALL.

Last evening, a grand selection from " Lucresia
Borgia" was performed at this attractive place of enter-
tainment, for the first time, with the most unexampled
success. The parts of the opera chosen were the solo by
Orsini, and chorus, in which he counsels the avoidance
of the Borgias ; the scena by Lucrezia, " Holy Beauty ;"
the duet by Gennaro and Lucrezia ; and the celebrated
solo and chorus, in which Lucrezia is denounced as a
prisoner and an assassin. The first-mentioned piece
was given with great precision, and was loudly applauded,
as was also Lucrezia's scena and net. The principal
artistes engaged in the performance were Madame Ma.
rietta, Palmyra, Badzey, Russell, and Brunell ; Messrs.
Rime, Grover, Melling, and St. Albyn. It was quite de•
lightful to witness the attention of the audience whil-t the
selection was being sung, as it clearly proved the splendid
music was duly appreciated. The success that has
attended these " operatic selections" has exceeded all
expectations, and the proprietor of the Hall really
merits the ♦ery high compliment paid him by Lord
William Lennox last night at the London Tavern,

MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
Nothwithstanding that only a limited supply of Eng-
lish wheat was en sale in to-day's market, the demand for
all kinds ruled heavy. Compared with Monday, however,
no change took place in the quotations.
The imports of foreign wheat are 5,030 quarters. The
transactions were trifling in the extreme, but we have no
actual change to notice in prices.
Fine barley was held at full currencies. Other kinds
were a mere drag.
Malt met a dull inquiry, at late rates.
The show of oats was unusually extensive, and the oat
trade was in a depressed state, at barely Monday's decline
in value.

Beans, peas, and flour sold slowly, at barely stationary
prices.

IN BE WILLIAM SQUIRES.

The bankrupt was described as of Oxforti-street, gun
manufacturer, and this was the certificate meeting.
The balance-sheet by Messrs. Paul and Turner, shows
a surplus in May, 1853, of 912/. ; debtor to creditors,
1,1331. ; to ditto holding security, 7861. ; profit, 6071.
Creditors—By doubtful debts, 1591. ; property in the
bands of creditors, 1,0051. The trade expenses amounted
to 1,5211. ; losses, 5911. ; house expenses, 7581.

His Honour said that this case presented very unfa-
vourable features. The bankrupt had filed two balance-
sheets : the first was admitted to have been fictitious ;
in that he had put down the surplus as only 831. The
accounts were unvouched, and property had not been
satisfactorily accounted for. The certificate must, there
fore, be suspended fur 12 months from the filing the
petition, Feb., 1356.
