RELIGIOUS LECTURES.

Mr. REARDEN asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department whether it was his intention to intro-
duce a bill this session for the purpose of preventing
lectures upon the religious profession of faith of any
of her Majesty's subjects in any part of the United
Kingdom, except in churchls and chapels
licensed for that purpose, and during Divine
Service in such Churches and chapels, without
first submitting a copy of such lecture for the ap-
proval, revision, and consent of the Secretary of Stat 3 for
the Home Department.

Mr. HARDY said he had no intention of bringing in a
bill on the subject that would add such an additional and
onerous duty on the Home Secretary. (Laughter.)

The Clerk of the Assize, says Crompton, in bisl
"Jurisdiction of Courts," is he that writes t",'
things judicially done by the justices of assizes ill
their circuits. He has to furnish to the judges
accounts of fees and fines (55 Geo. 3, c. 50, s• 8),:
and to make orders of payments of
,allowances ,
persons attending on their recognisances (7 Geo.
c. 64, s. 24) ; he is liable to amercement for nee°
in returning the estreats (3 Geo. 1, c. 15, s• 12)i
and to fine for falsely recording the appearance 1:),.
a juror (6 Geo. 4, c. 50, s. 40) ; he is liable
to a penalty for concealing any indictnan
recognisance, fine, or forfeiture (22 and
Car. 2, c. 22, s. 9) ; he has to make returns
of
offences (55 Geo. 3, c. 49, s. 1), and also of PeS
sons outlawed, attainted, or convicted (34 ancle3f
Hen. 8, c. 14, s. 2). He is clerk of the Crown I°,
the respective counties included in his circuit ;.i:
(with others) associated to the Judge in conuls,
sions of assize ; and is, by letters patent, c0131313ti0
tuted a justice of gaol delivery ; he is also t
keeper of all the records relating to the criwlva
proceedings of the circuit. lie cannot act as colP

s. 6).
This is the office to which Lord Chief Dustier
Bovill has appointed his son, who was last 313-6
a cavalry officer, and who now, we believe,
peen
student in the inns of court. It has iioo
objected that either this young gentleman 131,-,0
be unfit for the office, or the salary must be r,
high, considering the duties which have to be fie,
formed. As a fact, we believe the duties are e-tbe
rally performed by the clerk of arraigns, anu,",.];.
office thus becomes virtually a sinecure, the c'eti-e
of assize only showing himself once or twice 01-1. to
circuit. He is, however, debarred from prantl3l,f
on the circuit, and is liable to penalties in ells the
neglect. Thus it would appear that, although be
duties of the office are light, and such as 111

TEAMING REPORTS.

KINGSCLERE.- Thursday.:The whole of the team came
out this morning soon after six o'clock on Cannon Heath.
Cotytto and Siderolite trotted about gently over the side
hill for a short time and then returned home. All the rest
(but Vabalathus) cantered twice up the hollow, Xi steer-
ing Rosicrucian. After some walking exercise, Fakir led
Blue Gown and Green Sleeve a fast mile and three-quar-
ters, the two last galloping well and pulling up sound. Xi
piloted Pero Gmez, King Cophetua, and Vagabond in a
sharp mile gallop, and, for a heavy colt, Pero Gomez went
very strong and well, and with time he will make a useful
horse. Adosinda showed the way over the same course to
Nyl Gau and Sister to Rosicrucian. The morning's work
Was brought to a close by Satyr leading Rosicrucian two
miles over a very severe course at his best pace, the
crack going in fine form, and pulling up full of running.
We shall have no horses leave here until Epsom. Friday.
—All the horses were on Cannon Heath, and cantered,
except Vabalathus, Cotytto, and Siderolite, who did walk-
ing and trotting exercise of an hour, when the two latter
went home. Xi then led Vagabond, King Cophotna,
and Pero Gomez a fast mile gallop. I must sr.y I like
Vagabond m ore and more, and he will make a racehorse.
The Palmer was schoolmaster to Blue Gown and Green
Sleeve in a nice healthy gallop of a mile and three-quar-
ters, all going well. Fakir and Satyr weresent to do their
best with Rosicrucian in a two-mile galop all against the
collar, and ho made mincemeat of them. Adosinda. led
Sister to Rosicrucian and Nyl Gau a mile. The first-
named two year old is engaged at Epsom; she will not
disgrace herself.

SToclinnifiGE, Thursday.— Summer's Eve led Arbaces,
Crucifixion filly, Iberia, and Hippodamia filly a mile awl
a quarter. Logarithm led The Earl and Lady Elizabeth a
mile and three-quarters at three-Farts speed. Birdseeker
and Herald went a four-mile sweat. Friday—The same
lotus usual cantered twice, with the exception of Athena
and Birdseeker, who cantered once and then went a good
gallop of a mile and a half. The Blackbird colt and Lady
Raglan galloped a mile. Next week 1 expect we shall
have a strong team at Bath. In il4Three Year Old
Bien-
nial,wo have Cock of the Walk, Herald, Lady Raglan,
Equerry, and Birdseeker. The first-named will be found
our 1324, and will win, unless Speculum runs. Bath Han-
dicap—Cock of the Walk and Birdseeker aro both well,
and the same two are in the Member's Plato, with
Mr. Briggs, and 1 should think they will trust
to one of the two latter. Two Year Old Biennial—
Lurloy colt, Standard Bearer, Boaster, Miss Foote,
Dentelle, Lopez, and Blucher are all well, and
Blucher or Miss Foote will win. Beaufort Cup - I du
not think either Lecturer or The Earl will be at the post.
Weston Stakes.—Nearly all the same lot aro in as in the
Biennial, but Blucher will no doubt be the trusted oue, as
he is the fittest. The Badminton Stakes Athena will vein. ,

THE ALIBI OF BA.R.RETT.

Mr. Pollard concluded his task of examining witnekies
as to the alibi of Michael Barrett on Thursday, andaeft
for London in the evening. He was accompanied byli-
spector Williamson, the officer into whose custody Barrett
and O'Neill were delivered by the Glasgow police a*ho•
rities in January last. The persons examined on"Teanes-
day were Mrs. Smith, of Crown-street ; Mrs. rock,
Centre-street ; Lieutenant Munro, and Detective George
Shaw Brown ; and those examined on Thursday were the
Rev. Father Vassall, one of the officiating priests in St.
Andrew's Roman Catholic Chapel, and Mr. .Conlay,
clerk for the registration of baptisms, marriages dm, in
that place of worship. Mrs. Smith was the woman in whose
house O'Neill and Barrett were apprehended forthe second
time on the morning on which the two young men were
caught amusing themselves by the firing of a revolver on
the Green, near Nelson's Monument. She deposed that
O'Neill was a lodger of hers ; and about the new year he
brought Barrett to the house, where the pair stayed till
their apprehension, a fortnight afterwards, and that letters
bearing the address of Jackson had been received at her
house by Barrett. The importance of this last fact will
be apparent when it is remembered that the approvers at the
trial swore that Jackson was the name by which the con-
vict was known in London. Mrs. Brock merely stated that
Barrett had lodged in her house for a period prior to the
beginning of Nov. last, and that she had not seen him since.
The evidence of Father Vassall was valuable so far as it
proved that the man Murphy was in error when he stated
at the beginning of last week, to the agent of Mr. Lewis,
the solicitor in Barrett's case, that the prisoner was present
at a christening in his house on Sunday, the Bth December.
The testimony of Murphy, if it could be borne out, would
be of great weight, for the reason that witnesses for the
Crown swore at the trial that they saw Barrett walking
in London with a Mrs. Martin on the Bth December. But,
ns►fortunately for the sworn testimony of Murphy, as
well as for the alibi itself, Father Vassall deposed that
on turning up the baptismal register of St. Andrew's
Catholic Chapel he found that Murphy's child was chris-
tened on Sunday, Ist December. Mr. Conlay confirmed
this statement. Contrary to the expectations of the
Glasgow friends of the convict, Xr. Pollard did not
hold any communication with them, or give them an op-
portunity of saying anything in favour of the alibi, the
reason probably being that the Home Secretary has con-
cluded they can add nothing to the depositions submitted
to him last week by Mr. Lewis. The girl Kerr flatly con-
tradicts the statement attributed to her, that when she
last saw Barrett, shortly after the torchlight procession on
the Green, "he left her house, and entering a cab along
with another man, was driven, as she understood, to the
Caledonian Railway."—Post.

CONTAGIOUS DISEASES.

The Earl of LIFFORD, in purauance of his notice, called
the attention of the house to the operation of the Con-
tagious Diseases Act, 1866, and asked whether it was
the intention of her Majesty's Government to ex-

B:lips would appreciate the judicious manner in which
this difficult subject had been brought forward.
He was, however, in doubt whether his noble
friend intended that it should be extended only in a mili-
tary point of view, or to civilians as well.

Lord LIFFORD—To the civil population.
The Duke of MARLIIOROUGII said that he must then
say that there was no intention ou the part of her Ma-
jesty's GovernnyNtt to un lertake so anomalous and exten-
sive an undertaking. When they c true t) consider the
question of extending it to the civil ppulation
they were met by very great difficulties. First, there was
the expense, which might be justifiat)le as far as the army
and navy were concerned, and might be a proper economy,
but with the civil plpulation it would be too extedsive.
There were very moral considerations attached to the
subject, but these were not sufficiently high to justify
such a step, unless the mortality was uncommonly high,
and then it might be the duty of Parliament to
supply some remedy. It would require in the metropolis
50U men at the expanse of .C 25,000, au,l if this was ex-
tended to other large towns the expense would be enor-

mous.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT'

HOUSE OF LORDS-LAST EVENING.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack
at five o'clock.
CONTAGIOUS DISEASES.

The Earl of LIFFORD, in purauance of his notice, called
the attention of the house to the operation of the Con'
tagious Diseases Act, 1866, and asked whether it was
the intention of her Majesty's Government to ex-
tend it to London, wad to make it more
effective by increasing the hospital accommodation,
and said that in 1866 a bill was introduced for the purpose
of checking the baneful operations of contagious diseases.
These diseases peculiarly affected men serving in the army
and navy, and it was found that there was about 140 in
every thousand thus laid up. The good being done by the
act was strikingly significant. At Aldershot great benefit
had accrued, and the disease at Woolwich had been lessened
by half, and the intensity of disease lessened, and so it was
in Portsmouth, Devonport ; but at Sheerness the experi-
ment bad only been fully tried, and had been attended
with the most successful results. In July last out of 153
soldiers there were two or three suffering from disease.
Careful inspection would always procure a diminution in
the ravages of disease. There was a society formed called
the "Society for the Promotion of the Contagious
Diseases Act of 1866," and this institution had been of
great benefit to society generally. It was found
that diseases of the contagious class were less prevalent
and virulent in foreign countries than in England. He
considered that it was the duty of the Government to
do what all other continental nations had done. He
thought there ought to be a law which would provide
for the cessation of this disease; but it was objected that
this would open the road to vice and immorality, but he
thought not. It would be found a great safeguard. It would
give kind treatment in the hospital, and the religious instruc-
tion received there would be pi oductive of good to all. Ho
thought that he had shown that the principles of this act,
instead of promoting immorality, was prcdu:tiye of. the
greatest benefit. He trusted he had done what he could
to support this bill, and that it would be taken
up by their lordships. If not, next year a bill would
be introduced into this or the other house of
Commons. It was a matter which affected millions and
the future prosperity of the country, and therefore he now
begged to ask the question he had given notice of.

THE ALIBI OF BARgETT.

Mr. Pollard concluded his task of examining witnesses
as to the atai of Michael Barrett on Thursday, and left
for London in the evening. He was accompanied by In-
spector Williamson, the officer into whose custody Barrett
and O'Neill were delivered by the Glasgow police antho•
rities in January last. The persons examined on Wednes-
day were Mrs. Smith, of Crown-street ; Mrs. Brock,
Centre-street ; Lieutenant Munro, and Detective George
Shaw Brown ; and those examined on Thursday were the
Rev. Father Vassall, one of the officiating priests in St.
Andrew's Roman Catholic Chapel, and Mr. Conlay,
clerk for the registration of baptisms, marriages, &c., in
that place of worship. Mrs. Smith was the woman in whose
house O'Neill and Barrett were apprehended for thesecond
time on the morning on which the two young men were
caught amusing themselves by the firing of a revolver on
the Green, near Nelson's Monument. She deposed that
O'Neill was a lodger of hers ; and about the new year he
brought Barrett to the house, where the pair stayed till
their apprehension, a fortnight afterwards, and that letters
bearing the address of Jackson had been received at her
house by Barrett. The importance of this last fact will
be apparent when it is remembered that the approvers at the
trial swore that Jackson was the name by which the con-
vict was known in London. Mrs. Brock merely stated that
Barrett had lodged in her house for a period prior to the
beginning of Nov. last, and that she had not seen him since.
The evidence of Father Vassall was valuable so far as it
proved that the man Murphy was in error when he stated
at the beginning of last week, to the agent of Mr. Lewis,
the solicitor in Barrett's case, that the prisoner was present
at a christening in his house on Sunday, the Bth December.
The testimony of Murphy, if it could be borne out, would
be of great weight, for the reason that witnesses for the
Crown swore at the trial that they saw Barrett walking
in London with a Mrs. Martin on the Bth December. But,
unfortunately for the sworn testimony of Murphy, as
well as for the alibi itself, Father Vassall deposed that
on turning up the baptismal register of St. Andrew's
Catholic Chapel he found that Murphy's child was chris-
tened on Sunday, Ist December. Mr. Conlay confirmed
this statement. Contrary to the expectations of the
Glasgow friends of the convict, Mr. Pollard did not
hold any communication with them, or give them an op-
portunity of saying anything in favour of the alibi, the
reason probably being that the Home Secretary has con-
cluded they can add nothing to the depositions submitted
to him last week by Mr. Lewis. The girl Kerr flatly con-
tradicts the statement attributed to her, that when she

last saw Barrett, shortly after the torchlight procession on
the Green, "he left her house, and entering a cab along
with another man, was driven, as she understood, to the
/Caledonian Railway."—Post.

1111 E ADVAN ['AGES of the READY-MONEY
k SYSTEM cannot be better expressed than in the following
extract from a leading article in the " Times :"
" Everybody knows the difference between a credit and a
ready-money business' It is this partly which affords one tailor
the excuse for charging £7 7s. for a coat while another will
charge £4 4s. ..It is true that every tradesman ought to
abate his charges to customers who pay him punctually. Still
we know how in this particular we all suffer for a few delin-
quents."

LOXDOV, FRIDAY, JULY 24, 1868.

Yesterday afternoon the House of Lords got
through a good deal of business and cleared off
some of the accumulation of small bills which have
been weighing on the consciences of M.P's. A
number of bills passed through committee, and a
still greater number were read a third time. Among
the former was the Public Schools Bill, in which
some trifling alterations were introduced, the prin-
cipal danger being the increase of the Commis-
sioners from threw to five, Sir ROUNDELL PALMER
and CANNON BLAXESLY being two of them. Lord
LYTTLETON proposed the insertion of some
words which occasioned a brief discussion,
and were objected to by many noble lords. Their
purport was to give the head masters of public
schools absolute power in all matters of study, dis-
cipline, and administration. This centralising doc-
trine was objected to by the Lord Chancellor, who
contended that it would constitute the master the
governing body, and by the Duke of MARLBOROUGH,
who argued that the governing body was the legis-
lative and the master the executive of public schools.
On the other hand, Lord DEVON thought that the
increased powers of the master would effect a double
gain, by improving the status of the schools and
by securing the best men for head masters.
Lord LYTTELTON was so firmly convinced of the
advantages to be conferred by it that he announced
his intention of bringing up a clause on the re-
port, specifying the special powers of the head
master. This will be a better way of dealing with
the question than the general terms in which the
motion was first worded would allow. The head
master of a large public school is necessarily a
man of considerable experience, standing, and
scholarship; and it is extremely unlikely that the
governing body would be inclined to harass him
by unnecessary interference. At the same time
if so much absolute power is to be conferred
upon him, he will be transformed from the executive
authority of a constitutional establishment into a
local despot, and there will be no means of check-
ing or amending what is amiis save the extreme
measure of removing the head toaster, which the
governing body would be naturally most unwilling
to do. It wi►l be a much simpler and more effectual
method of obtaining the desired end to specify
exactly what are the powers of the master than to
give him absolute jurisdiction over " all matters of
study, discipline, and administration."
Further on in the evening a question of some
interest was raised by the Earl of SHAFTESBURY,
who questioned the Privy Seal respecting the cir-
. oular of the Russian Government in relation to ex-
