PAUPERISM.—The monthly return of the Poor
Law Board shows an improvement in May. At the end
of the first week of that mouth the number of persons in
receipt of relief from the rates in England, 953,001, was 4.3
per cont. more than at the corresponding period of 1867 ;
at the end of the fourth week the number was 934,517, and
the excess over 1867 only 3.8 per cent. But it was as much
as 6'oo per cent. in the metropolitan district, 74 per cent.
in Yorkshire, 5.4 per cent. in the northern district, and 4.3
per cent. in the north-western. The number in both years
is subject to an addition of about 4 per cent. for returns not
here included.

The Panama Star states that there is likely to be
a considerable reduction of postage on letters passing be-
tween Great Britain and the Pacific coast.

COVENT GARDEN THEATRE.

MR. HARRISON'S BENEFIT.

Mr. Harrison is so old and valued a friend of the
public that the aunouncement of his benefit on
Monday night excited warm interest, and, notwith-
standing the extreme heat of the weather and the
lateness of the season, there was a good muster of
his admirers at Covent Garden. It was with great
regret that the public learned that, in addition to
the pecuniary losses he has suffered, Mr. Harrison
is afflicted with severe illness, and thus stands in
need of the assistance of his friends and
supporters. How cordially and how promptly
his professional contemporaries came forward
to his aid was shown on Monday evening,
when every variety of entertainment—musicalt
lyrical, recitative, and dramatic—was combined in
the programme, and an epigrammatic address from
the pen of Mr. Tom Taylor was delivered with full
effect by Mrs. Stirling. Two scenes from " Paul
Pry" commenced the performances, with Mr. Toole
as the immortal intruder. Then came au operatic
selection, in which Mdlle. Lancia, Madame Weiss,
Signor Mario, and several other prominent artistes,
took part. Miss Amy Sedgwick recited a scene from
"Pickwick." M. Ravel gave a recitation from one
of the boxes, and entertainments followed fast one
on the other, until the stage manager announced
that two or three must be omitted from the lateness
of the hour, and the evening would conclude with
the first act of " The Grand Duchess of Gerolstein."
It is needless to say that in presence of so much
varied ability, and with every performer animated
by a kindly and generous desire to do his or her
best, the performances were all that could be de-
sired ; and we hope they will have afforded sub-
stantial assistance to our overwrought and deserving
public servant. The movement was a purely spon-
taneous one on the part of the promoters, and as such
does honour both to them and Mr. Harrison,
whose serious illness we must all deplore. 1115
exertions in the cause of national opera, though
unfortunately unsuccessful, have done the musical
world good service, and have stimulatel some of our
best composers Balfe, Macfarren, Wallace—'
to their happiest efforts.

CLASSES.

On Tuesday evening a special meeting of the General
Committee and delegates from branches of the London
Working Men's Association was held at the offices in Bolt.
court, Fleet-street, to consider the measures best
adapted to secure a working-class representation in the
new Parliament. Mr. George Potter occupied the
chair. The chairman said he thought the time
had now arrived for the working men to take
action if they desired to obtain a direct representation
of labour in Parliament, by the return of at least a few
bond fide working men. The subject was surrounded with
great difficulty, but not so great but that it might be
surmounted by a united effort upon the part of the
working men themselves. He thought that effort should
be made, and an appeal at once made to the trades and
other organisations of working men to take action upon
the matter. There was upwards of three months yet
before the elections could come on, and there was ample
time to perfect an organisation by which at least a dozen
working men might be returned for as many boroughs.
Two resolutions would be submitted for consideration,
which, if adopted, would be initiatory of the movement,
Mr. Packer then moved the following resolutions
" That, in the opinion of this committee, it is absolutely
necessary, in the interests of the industrial classes, that
there should be a direct representation of labour in the
new Parliament, and they therefore recommend that a
united effort should be made by the working men of all
sections, but especially by trades unionists, to secure the
return to Parliament at the ensuing general election of at
least a dozen bond fide working men." 2. " That with
the view of ascertaining how far the various trades
councils, trades societies, and other working-class organi-
sations arc disposed to co-operate in a movement for the
purpose expressed in the above resolution, a circular be
issued to those councils, societies, and organisations,
requesting their opinion upon the subject, and of the pro-
priety of holding a Labour Parliament early in August,
for the purpose of selecting the twelve candidates and the
twelve boroughs, and to devise the best means of raising a
fund to defray the necessary expeUses of the elections."
Mr. Harris seconded the resolution. After some discus.
sion respecting the details of the proposed movement, on
which it was urged that if only six out of the twelve can-
didates were returned, a great object would be gained,
the resolutions were adopted, and ordered to be sent at
once to the various organisations named in the resolutions.
A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the pro.
ce edings.

MURDER OF TW 0 CHILDREN.

A murder of two children and attempted suicide is
reported from Rochdale. A man named Israel Whiteoak,
residing with his wife and two children upon the Calf
Hole Farm, Burnedge, near Rochdale, on Tuesday morn-
ing, in what is supposed to be a fit of insanity, cut the
throats of the two children, a boy aged 8 years and a
girl aged 3, and then attempted suicide by cutting his
own throat. The wife of the unhappy man gives the
following account of the occurrence :—" Twelve months
ago my husband suffered very much from rheumatism,
and I remember that he told me then that he
had a good mind to commit suicide, but he did not know
how I could get on with the children. I did not pay
much attention to the remarks then, because I knew that
he was suffering from great pain. Ho has not been
troubled since with rheumatism. On 11Ion4y morning I
was ill and vomited blood, which seemed to make him
very uneasy, and he offered to stop at home from
his work, but I would not let him. He told me that I
must go and see a doctor on Tuesday. At night he
returned from his work, and seemed very well, and there
was nothing strange in his conduct. He eat a very good
supper, and we retired to rest about eleven o'clock. About
four o'clock in the morning I was awoke by hearing my
youngest child cry, and I saw my husband kneeling on
the children's bed, looking wild, and the youngest
child, as it appeared to me, bleeding from
the mouth. I then got up, took the child, and
saw that it and its brothers' throats were cut. I said to
him, ' What have you done ?' He made no reply. I
ran down stairs with my youngest child, which was not
quite dead, and my boy followed after me ; but I saw his
father seize him at the top of the stairs, and again cut his
throat with a razor. I put the child on the couch, and as
I was unlocking the door my husband was coming down
the stairs. I rushed out and gave the alarm to the neigh.
bours." Both the children are dead, but the father is still
living, though in a very dangerous state.

THE VICTORIA CROSS.

(From the London Gazette of last Evening.)
WAR OFFICE, JULY 28.

The Queen has been graciously- pleased to signify her
intention to confer the decoration of the Victoria Cross ou
the undermentioned soldiers, whose claims to the same have
been submitted fur her Majesty's approval for their gal-
lant conduct in Abyssinia, as recorded against their names,
viz.:—

33d Regiment—Drummer Michael Magner, No. 3,691,
and Private James Bergin, No. 949, for their conspicuous
gallantry in the assault of Magdala on the 13th April last.
Lieut.-General Lord Napier reports that, whilst the head
of the column of attack was checked by the obstacles at the
gate, a small stream of officers and men of the 33d Regi-
ment, and an officer of Engineers, breaking away from the
main approach to Magdala, and climbing up a cliff, reached
the defences, and forced their way over the wall, and
through the strong and thorny fence, thus turning the de-
fenders of the gateway. The first two men to enter, and
the first in Magdala, were drummer Magner and private
Bergin, of the 33d Regiment.

WESTMINSTER.

A DESPERATE YOUNG RUFFlAN.—Richard Pur-
vey, only 18 years of age, well known to the police,
was charged with being drunk, riotous, and using
obscene language, and also with assaulting George
Bone, 7 B, in the execution of his duty.
George Bone, 7 B, said that at half-past three
yesterday afternoon he was called to King's Head-
court, Broadway, where the prisoner was drunk and
making use of bad language to his fatherand mother.
Witness told him to go away, when he made use
of fearful language, and his mother said he had
threatened her with a knife ; he said " Yes, you old
—, and when I get hold of you I will rip you up
with it." Witness went to remove him, when he
kicked him in the mouth and on the leg, both
falling. Inspector Arnold of the B division came
up, and prisoner said he would go quietly with him ;
he had not proceeded fifty yards before he was
observed with a knife in his band, which witness
took from him ; he was violent all the way to the
station.

Prisoner made no defence, save that the police
knocked him about.

Inspector Arnold said he found the prisoner had
drawn a knife on him, so hd knocked him down,
and no doubt gave him the black eye he exhibited.
He was very violent.
Mr. Arnold said his conduct was disgraceful in
the extreme, and worst of all his horrible language
to his own mother. He sentenced him to 14 days'
hard labour, and ordered him to find a surety to
keep the peace for three months longer.

USE OP CHILL POISONING BY A NUMB.

A case of child-poisoning by a nurse girl, Mary Sem-
haw, was heard by the West Riding magistrates at the
71.uildhall, Doncaster, on Tuesday. The prisoner is a girl
4 13 years of age, and entered the service of Mr.
{oulden, farmer, at Cantley, near Doncaster, on
he 4th inst. A child 10 months old was placed
finder her charge, but within ten days after
he attempted to poison it by administering to it a noxious
and poisonous drug, known as " foot rot," which is used
)3, farmers in dressing sheep. The drug, if undiluted,
s a very powerful one, and caused the child's lips to
well and turn white, and this being noticed by the mother
he at once charged the girl with having given some-
hing to the child, but she denied it, and stated that
another girl had given it a cough pill. This, however,
vas found to be untrue, and it was afterwards discovered
;hat a portion of the foot-rot mixture, which was con-
tained in a bottle to which the girl had access, had been
given to it. So powerful is the mixture that the child's
clothes upon . which it had fallen were completely
destroyed. Fortunately, however, the mixture does not
appear to have taken any effect upon the child beyond
burning its lips and mouth. The prisoner appears to be a
girl of weak intellect, and had been sent into the country
Dll that account. Her conduct since she has been with
Mr. Houlden would certainly seem to warrant this view,
for from the first day she came she seemed dissatisfied,
and on the 15th, . the day before she administered the
poison to the child, she ran away, but was brought back
by her mother, who lives at Doncaster. The child also,
who previous to her coming was perfectly healthy, has
during the time she has been there been unwell, and had a
great dislike to the girl. The girl also, on the 15th,
inquired of the servants whether laudanum was poison,
and, after she had given the draft to the child, whether it
was dead. The prisoner was committed to take her trial
at the Leeds assizes.

ROYAL ARCEgOLOGICAL INSTITUn.

The annual congress of the Royal Amine°logical Insti-
tute of Great Britain and Ireland was opened on Tuesday
at Lancaster Castle, Colonel Wilson Patten, M.P., Chair
cellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, presiding, and being
supported by a very able and efficient local committee.
The archmologists have cast their lines in pleasant places
this year, for, independent of the historical associations
connected with Lancaster and its castle, the locality is sur-
rounded on all sides with " remarkable historical sites and
ancient memorials," to visit which is one of the main objects
of these provincial meetings. Then Lancaster is, as it were,
the gate to the most picturesque and beautiful scenery in
all England, being situate on the very verge of the English
Lake District, while in strong contrast there is on the ot:ier
side the teeming industrial population of cottonopolis, and
Morecombe Bay is in its environs. The institute will
sojourn at Lancaster for a full week, and the notables of
the district are combining to make the sojourn pleasant by
invitations to soirees and desc4ners, as affording a wel-
come relief to the professed objects of the gathering. A
programme of the intended doings of the week has been
sketched out, which, however, of course, is subject to
alteration ; bat, as at present arranged, on Thursday
there is an excursion to Dalton Castle, Peel Castle, and
Furness Abbey, where a lecture is to be delivered, and the
ruins are to be described by Mr. E. Sharpe. The Mayor
of Barrow also on this day entertains the members at
lunch at Furness Abbey. In the evening the annual
meeting will be held. On Friday there is a meeting of
sections, more excursions, and a conversazione in the even-
ing. Saturday and Monday are devoted to excursions to
Severn Hall, Bolton Abbey, and other historical places,
. _
and on Tuesday the congress will close.

MURDER OF TWO. CHILDREN.

A murder of two children and attempted suicide is
reported from Rochdale. A man named Israel Whiteoak,
residing with his wife and two children upon the Calf
Hole Farm, Burnedge, near Rochdale, on Tuesday morn-
ing, in what is supposed to be a fit of insanity, cut the
throats of the two children, a boy aged 8 years and a
girl aged 3, and then attempted suicide by cutting his
own throat. The wife of the unhappy man gives the
following account of the occurrence :—" Twelve months
ago my husband suffered very much from rheumatism,
and I remember that he told me then that he
had a good mind to commit suicide, but he did not know
how I could get on with the children. I did not pay
much attention to the remarks then, because I knew that
he was suffering from great pain. He has not been
troubled since with rheumatism. On Monday morning I
was ill and vomited blood, which seemed to make him
very uneasy, and he offered to stop at home from
his work, but.l would not let him. He told me that I
must go and see a doctor, on Tuesday. At night he
returned from his work, and seemed very well, and there
was nothing strange in his conduct. He eat a very good
supper, and we retired to rest about eleven o'clock. About
four o'clock in the morning I was awoke by bearing my
youngest child cry, and I saw my husband kneeling on

the children's bed, looking wild, and the youngest
child, as it appeared to me, bleeding from
the mouth. I then got up, took the child, and
saw that it and its brothers' throats were cut. I said to
Lim, ' What have you done?' He made no reply. I
ran down stairs with my youngest child, which was not
quite dead, and my boy followed after me ; but I saw his
father seize him at the top of the stairs, and again cut his
throat with a razor. I put the child on the couch, and as
I was unlocking the door my husband was coming down
the stairs. I rushed out and gave the alarm to the neigh,
hours." Both the children are dead, but the father is still
living, though in a very dangerous state.

ELECT.

,IGENCE.

HUNTINGDON.—It is said that General Peel is about to
)e removed to the House of Lords, the length and value
►f his public services having justly entitled him to the
ionour of a peerage. It is believed that neither Mr.
3aring (C.) in the borough, nor Lord Robert Montagu (C.)
it Mr. E. Fellowes (C.) in the county, will find their seats
)pposed.
HADDINGroN BURGHS.—The venerable represen' a' ive of
group—Sir Henry Davie (L.)—still aspires to occupy
seat in the Reformed Parliament.
HALIFAX.—Mr. Stansfeld and Mr. Akroyd, the two
Liberal members for this borough, have intimated that
hey will offer themselves for re-election.
NORTHALLERTON.—Mr. Hutton (C.) has announced him-
self as a candidate for this borough.
PONTEFRACT.—At a meeting of the old and new electors
it has been unanimously resolved that Mr. George Wilson,
of Manchester, should he invited to be the Liberal candi-
date, in conjunction with Mr. Childers, at the ensuing
general election.
BARNSTAPLE.—The Western Morning News states that
Mr. Cave, M.P., and Mr. W. Herbert Evens have issued
addresses to the electors of Barnstaple in the Liberal
interest. A third Liberal, Mr. Thomas, of Brecon, will
also be brought forward. Sir William Fraser, the Con-
servative candidate, has been received so unsatisfactorily,
that his retirement from the contest is anticipated.
Captain Charles Williams, of Pilton Houses,,,will probably
be the Conservative candidate.

POT STEALING EXTRAORDINARY. - Margaret
Smith, a woman about 30 years of age, was brought
before Mr. Benson on a remand on a charge of pot
stealing.

On the afternoon of Tuesday, the 21st instant,
the prisoner entered the Star public-house in Duke
street, St. George's-in-the-East, took a pot off a barrel
in front of the bar, and walked away with it. The
robbery was observed by Mr. Mortlock, the land-
lord of the Star, who followed her out of the
house and took the pot from her. At the same
time he found a quart pot on her belonging
to Mr. Henry Puzey, the landlord of the
George, a large tavern in the Commercial-road.
Mr. Hilberry, one of Mr. Puzey's barmen, saw the
prisoner there on the previous Saturday morning,
on which day a quart pot was lost, and again on
Monday, on the evening of which day she was
taken into custody, and the pot taken from her was
missing when she left. A pair of gold earrings
were taken from her, and her possession of them
did not appear at all consistent with the emphatic
declarations of poverty and that her husband had
been out of work. She also said that a man gave her
the pots, and that she intended to sell them to get
a bit of bread with. Mr. Benson thought that pot
stealing was the regular profession of the prisoner,
and remanded her. On her second appearance
before the magistrate yesterday, it was stated by
Charles Turner, a police-constable, No. 49 K, that
the prisoner refused to give her address when she
was taken into custody, and said she was a poor
charwoman, who lived any where. He had since
made inquiries about her, and ascertained that she
had been living in a state of adultery with a
man at a house in Tarling-street, St. George's-1
in-the East. Her paramour absconded on
the night of her apprehension. He searched the
room vacated by the prisoner and her companion.
Ttiere was a large iron kettle which had been used
in melting down pewter measures, and under the
floor were hiding places for pots in which he found
several pieces of pewter.

Mr. Puzey's barman said for the three weeks
previous to the prisoner's apprehension pots were
continually missed from the house. Not one had
been lost since the prisoner was in custody.
The Prisoner said she had no victuals for three
days when she to3k the pots, and that she had
never been in a Police Court before.

Mr. Benson said that the evidence given by the
constable confirmed him in the suspicion ho ori-
ginally entertained that the prisoner was a profes-
sional thief. He sentenced her to be imprisoned
for two months, and kept to hard labour.
