THE BANK OF BOMBAY.

In reply to Lord WILLIAM HAY,
Sir S. NORTHCOTE said it was not thought desirable
to make special provisions with respect to the inquiry into
the matters connected with the failure of the Bank. He
had received a telegram from the Governor-General stat.
ing that he had given powers to the Commission to compel
the attendance of witnesses, &c. ; and he had also asked
him (Sir S. Northcote) to appoint a member of the Commis-
sion, and ho accordingly nominated Sir C. Jackson. He
had reason to believe the whole matter would be
thoroughly investigated.
Mr. J. PEEL asked whether the Act of 1863, which
it was said had led to the mismanagement and failure of
the Bauk of Bombay, was not submitted to and approved
by the Secretary of State for India before it was passed by
the Council of Bombay?
Sir S. NORTHCOTE replied that it was not.
THE DISTURBANCES IN WIGAN.

In reply to Major ANSON (in the absence of Lord
Elcho),
Sir J. FERGUSON said it was quite true that disturb-
ances existed in Wigan, but he could not stale the extent
the acts of violence had proceeded to. Telegraph commu-
nication had taken place between the Home-office and the
magistrates as to whether filly had sufficient force at their
command to compel submission to the law, but receiving
an unsatisfactory answer troops had been at once de-
spatched to Wigan.
THE DISTURBANCES IN CRETE.

Ou the motion for going into Committee of Supply,
Mr. MONK called the attention of the house to the cor-
respondence respecting the disturbances in Crete, pre-
sented to Parliament by command of her Majesty in
November, 1867. _ _ _

Sir F. GOLDS MID condemned the conduct of Greece
with respect to the insurrectionary movement in Crete,
es, instead of remaining neutral as she ought,
kept up the flame by surreptitiously supplying anus
and other means for continuing the struggle
against Turkey. Had this not been the case, tranquillity
would long ago have been restored. It appeared to be the
desire both in Crete and Servia to drive the Jews away,
and make them vagrants, and then to punish them for
being that which they had been made.

scription of AWE'IFICIAL TEETII, fixed without
prints,' wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble
the -natural teeth as not to bo 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

ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful to masti-

(put in) written by Barrett to himself, under care of a Mr.
Hughes. The letter was dated from :Milbank prison,
Jan. 4, 1868, and told the person to whom it was addressed
to go to the witness and soo if he recollected the circuit).-
stances he had detailed.

To the Court--,The alcount Barrett read from the paper
was simply that of the explosion. Was paid for the boots
by Mullin, the man who introduced Barrett. The men
said after the account was read the explosion was a horrid
thing; the man who read the paper said it wasa ridiculous
thing, the witness explained to mean terrifying.
The Lord Chief Justice cautioned the witness not to
hold any intercourse with the other witnesses from
Glasgow.

The Court then adjourned. The trial will not be con-
cluded before Monday.

A Juryman asked if it could be arrang) I that the jury
might see their friends on strictly private business, with-
out the officer of the Court being present.
The Lord Chief Justice said the diffioulty was that the
bailiff of the court was sworn not to let the jury speak to
any one on the matter of the trial, and he could not keep
his oath if they had any interviews at which he was not
present. The court had no jurisdiction to alter the state
of the law.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A DISORDERLY LICENSED VICIVALLER.—Mr.
W. Walker, licensed victualler, of No. 235, High-
street, Borough, was charged before Mr. Knox
with being drunk and behaving in a disorderly
manner in Piccadilly.

Charles Patch, 138 AR, said that about half-
past one that morning he was in Piccad►lly, and
saw the defendant standing on the footboard of a
Hansom cab and pulling the reins, there being a fare
in the cab at the time. The defendant was calling
" Police," and said he wanted protection, at the same
time showing him a shilling. The defendant, who
was drunk, then backed the horse on to the pave-
ment and it fell, and he then took defendant into
custody.

John Page, a cabman in the employ of .Mr.
Moss, a cab proprietor, said that shortly after one
that morning the defendant got on to the footboard
of his cab, seized the reins, and set to pulling them.
lie asked the females who were in his cab whether
the defendant belonged to them, and they said he
did not, and they were anxious to get rid of him.
The defendant then said that he wanted the pro-
tection of the police, and he (witness) told the police
that he wanted protection. The defendant then
threw the horse down on the pavement, and hurt
its knees.

The defendant said that he had ridden in the
witness's cab to Leybourne's in Windmill-street,
and that on getting out he gave the witness half-a-
crown, and the witness then returned him a shil-
ling and drove off, taking more than his fare, and
he went after him and stopped him.
The witness said that he never saw the defendant
before he jumped on his footboard, and could not
make out what he wanted. The home would haVe
to rest for two or three days.
Mr Knox said it was quite clear to him that the
defendant was drunk, and mistook one Hansom
cabman for another, and thus got into his present
scrape. The defendant would have to pay a fine
of 20s. or 14 days for being drunk and disorderly,
and pay 20s. or 14 days as compensation for the
injury to the horse.
London, England, 1868-04-24

THE LATE PREMIER.

The E:irl of Derby occupied his usual position in the
house to-night apparently in good health, and on present-
ing a petition, the terms of which. were inaudible, was
greeted with congratulatory cheers by both sides of the
house.-

COMPULSORY CITURCEI RITES.

Earl RUSSELL moved the second reading of this bill,
and strongly animadverted upon the compulsory enforce-
ment of such a rate, an I said that it did not take into con-
sideration what might ba the religious feeling of
the person who was c empelled to pay it. By
this bill there would ho a complete abolitio:i
of these obnoxious rates. The great question was t-e get
a sum necessary to repair the churches, and the sec in
clause of this bill provided fur that. The object of th's
clause was to put proper machinery into operation te
effect this purpose. The rate would rest of course with the
vestry. These were the whole of the conditions of the
bill, acd it was a very simple one.
" The Duke of BUCK INULIAII said that on such a vexed
question as that of church rates he should have thought
that stronger reasons would have been brought before
their lordships in the preamble of the bill than those ad-
duced by the noble lord. It was only urged that the rea-
son for abolishing church rates was that the inhabitants of
,the parish refused to pay them, and litigation was in-
volved. Tho noble duke quoted a number of instances,
which ho contended showed that Church rates were not
so obnoxiOus us insisted upon. Many endeavours
had been made to satisfactorily adju,t this most vexation;
most difficu% question. But yet
.it could not be denied
that the church rates were the support of the Church of
England, and this resulted from the unceasing want of
the inhabitants of the parishes from the creation of new dis-
tricts, cte. lie thought un ler these circumstances that the
•Government should ask the house to pat this bill in the
hands of a committee, and whim that committee had made
its report to support or reject it. (Hear, hear.)
Lord MALMES BURY expressed his intention to move
the house that the bill be referred to a select committee,
and hoped that Lord Russell would soon decide as to what
his future course would be with regard to the bill. Re
would move that to-morrow it be referred to a select com-
mittee.

The bill was then read a second time.
The other orders of the d iy having been disposed of,
Their lordships adjourned.

THE FENIAN TRIALS.

(Continued /Ann our First Edition.)
Mr. Baker Greene, having noticed that the Lord Chief
Justice had yesterday stated that Vaughan was not proved
to have been an accomplice, his lordship observed that
ho should tell the jury that Vaughan's testimony must be
receivedjwith quite as much distrust as if he were actually
shown to have been an accomplice.
At the close of the learned counsel's address, witnesses
were called to prove that at the time of the explosion
Barrett was actually in Glasgow.
Michael McNaughty, a shoemaker, living in Glasgow,
had seen Barrett three times in his own house. The first
time was on the 12th of December, when he came with
another man to have a pair of boots soled. His name was
not mentioned. The next evening ho came for the boots,
and as they were not ready, came again on the Saturday,
and as the boots were still unt)uch.d, there was seine
altercation. Barrett cooled down a bit, and two persons
witness knew coming in, he asked th .m to sit down and
mend the boots. They agreed to this, and Barrett sent
out for an evening paper and read to them the account of
the Clerkenwell explosion. Barrett remained till the
boots were finishod.EThe man who introduced Barrett to
witness was, ho believed, gone to America. To the best
of his belief Barrett at that time had two or three days
board on him.
In answer to the Attorney-Goncral, the vritneas said he
worked at home for shops, and did any jobs he could get.
Had lived in Glasgow fifteen year.'.
In further cross-exa nination the witness stated tha
up a ow about
when Captain WAN called ho did not tell him that no
man bad called at his house and kicked
an
his beetq, and sent ont fur a papd readr about
`lLauus read a letter

DREADFUL ACCIDENT NEAR DERBY.—A shock-
ing accident occurred at Alfreton, near Derby, on Wednes-
day morning. Charles Ottewell, a carter in the employ
of Messrs. Simons, manufacturing chemists, Little Chester,
was descending Highland Hill, in charge of two horses
and a waggon loaded with vitriol, when, from some un-
explained cause, the vehicle was overturned and its con-
tents were scattered about the ground. Both the horses
were dreadfully burned, and died shortly afterwards in
great agony. Ottewell, too, was so much injured that his
life is despaired of.
