, J « " ^^ "T" : r ¦ . . teto custody for laughing at him . Another witness said 4 h & t the police rushed about " as in a play at Christ-¦ aaas . " They seemed to be young , inexperienced men j £ p . Moir was examined , and stated that he was confined , together -with others , in a small cell which had a convenience in it ; that the cell was hot and close , and the fltnell so bad that he was obliged to lie on the ground , trhere the air wa 8 rather purer ; that bail was refused Ay the inspector ; and that every object was thrown in his solicitor editor
, ihe -way of his seeing . Mr . Bruce , of \ the Civil Service GatctW , and who accompanied him to -the station , was not allowed to give testimony in his ftovoun—The committee has Bat again on subsequent 4 ay $ > when further testimony implicating the police was received- Mr . Inspector Hughes is stated to have appeared " raving mad , " and to have ridden about , striking men and even women with his whip . Women were Jfrequently knocked down by the truncheons of the police ; and some men were thrown bodily over the railings among the crowd .
Mk . Gkenvillk Beimujuv , late M . I * , for Lvesham , has been returned by a considerable majority for Cheltenham . ¦ LoBn Dusdosald writes to the daily papers , to -complain of the rejection of his plans by the ( iovernuient . He observes : — " It appears , iu reply to a question put for the fourth time in the House of Commons ( on the 6 th inst . ) , that ' my p lans were referred to a Committee , and were so very obvious that they required HO explanation from Lord Dundouald to render them perfectly intelligible ; ' but whether this facility of comprehension proceeded from circumstances compatible with their practicability and efficiency , or from their being manifestly absurd " and beneath notice , does not appear . Thus the reply is another instance of the oracular mode of elucidating official questions of vast national
inujjortance ! The Statk of the Tiiamks continues to attract at-• tention . The foal odours of the metropolitan stream , ¦ which are always bad enough , have become within the la $ t month more than usually sickening , as any dweller on the banks , or traveller by steamboat , may testify . Above Hammersmith , dead fish may be seen on the banks . The cause of this state of things is said to be the cleansing of the bed of the Brent canal , which enters the Thames at Brentford , and the consequent emptying of the refuse into the main stream . The Lord Mayor on Monday called the attention of the City solicitor to the condition of the river , and directed him to make inquiries into the cause , and to report upon the most effectual and
expeditious mode of abating the nuisance . On the evening of the same dav , a meeting on the subject was held at Wai worth , at which a resolution was passed for the formation of a committee to act as a deputation to Sir Benjamin Hall . A letter from a manufacturer on the banks of the Thames appears in one of the daily papers , 111 which mention is made of the thiik black foetid deposit , with red antl white worms , daily left in his water-tanks . On Tu ^ sdav , tho engineer of the upper work . s of the ¦ T hames stated at the " Mansion House that there is no foundation for the belief thnt the works in the Brentford canal have injured the water of the river . The evil , he thought , ^ as attributable to th e increase of drainage owing toihc disuse of sewer * , and to the ' long drought which tad left the bed of thu river without proper flushing .
MiDXioHT OrriiAOK is Ikela > -i > . — Intimidation is . again resorted to in Ireland . A s * hot was recently fired Ihrongh the drawing-room window of Mr . Langley , J . l \ , » . grand juror . Several panes of glass were at the suuic ' fimc broken , and the annexed " Hot-kite" notice was posted on the hall-door : — " Henry Langh-y , taki' notice , that if you put any person out of his ground who is able to pay his rent , you do it at your peril ; you or sons wiilfall ; there will bu no safety for you even lit your own fireside , as you will perceive . " The family having TStircd to bed , no injury to life onsned .
A . Great DnrNKRit . —An inquest has been held on the body of Captain John Ba / . Iey Korster , K . N ., aged » btty-sevon , formerly one of the examiners in the Audit Office . Ilia man servant stated that lie drank generally taonoday hot ween five and six quarts of porter , about kquart of spirits , consisting of gin , brandy , and rum , tanks sherry and table beer . He was always in bed , Mdtrhon witness left him at night l » o regularly placed fy hl » ( deceased's ) beilsidti a hotthr of gin , a bottle of tim , a bottle of brandy , a bottle of sherry , and u bottle f | K > rt « r ; and in the morning he found the contents of IIconsiderably diminished .

Several bills were forwarded a stage , and the House adjourned at t > o ' clock .
House Of Commons. At The Sitting A Numbe...
HOUSE OF COMMONS . At the sitting a number of questions were as usual asked . THE SCOTCH EDUCATIOX BILL . The Loud Advocate stated , in reply to Mr Lockjj akt , that the Government did not intend to introduce another bill on the subject of education in Scotland , in consequence of the Lords having rejected his bill the night before . THE FICTCKES AT HAMPTON COURT . Sir W . Molesworth , in reply to Mr . Lasgtos , said that one of the pictures at Hampton Court was missing , and others had been damaged , and a reward bad been offered for the detection of the offenders .
DECIMAL COINAGE . The Chancellor ok the Exchequer said , in answer to Mr . G . Dun das , that a Commission comprising Lord Montcaglc and the Governor of the Bank of England had been appointed to inquire into the question of decimal coinage ; but there was some difficulty iu getting a gentleman properly qualified to fill the third place in the commission , it was not proposed to refer the question on weights and measures to the
Comurissioiinii . i . vrriNn or tiik . Mr . F . Pkel stated , in answer to Mr . Wells , that it was not intended to introduce any measure to prevent the billeting of the militia ; but the formation of permanent camps would lead to a discontinuance of the system . I .. V 11 KLLJ . NG THE WOUKM OF AItT IN TIIK NATIONAL CiALLllKV . Lord Palmers-ton , in reply to Mr . Kwart , said that he would givo directions to have the works of art in the National GuII . tv , Hampton Court Palace , the British Museum , * i t \ , properly labelled with short appropriate descriptions , so as to render them at once intelligible to the public .
Till : IMNUBIAN I'RINCIl'ALITIES . In reply to Mr . Layaiiu , Lord Palmkhston repeated the statement he had formerly given , that the Governments of England , Franco , " and Austria were now wholly free to adopt any course thev pleased with respect to tho Moldavian and Wollachinn Principalities . The guiding principle of any future arrangement would bo to secure those Principalities from tho exclusive influence of Russia , but the mode in which that principle was to be carried out must b « left for consideration hereafter . A commission was now sitting nl Vienna to inquire into the alleged grievances of the inhabitants of the Principalities .
BIR CHARLES NAI'IKR AND TIIK ORDER OK TIIK BATH . Lord Palmkhston , in reply to Mr . Layakd , stated that Sir 0 . Napier had been offrrcd the Grand Cross of tlio Hath , but to the grout regret of the Government that officer had declined to accept it .
TIIK BRITISH TUOOra IN AFRICA . Sir C . Wood , in answer to Mr . Bright , stated that no ollicinl accounts had been received with regard to tho disastrous result of an encounter between tho British troop * nnd the natives on the const of Africa .
METROPOLITAN LOCAL MANAGEMENT BILL . After some discussion and amendments , this bill was read a third time and passed . THE TUBKIBH LOAN . Lord Palmerston moved a resolution sanctioning the guarantee b y this country of the payment of the interest on the Turkish Loan . He urged the noble stand Turkey Uad made against Russia , and which had exhausted her finances , as a ground for England and France jointly , and severally guaranteeing the loan of 5 , 000 , 000 * ., and asserted the resources of Turkey to pay the interest , particularly as a great portion of the Egyptian tribute would be devoted to that purpose . It hK jbeea arranged with Turkey that the whole revenue of that country would be pledged to the li quidation of the debt , and measures had been taken to secure the appropriation of the sum raised entirely to the purposes of the war Mr . Ricabdo strongly objected to the loan , urging that it was , in fact , a subsidy , and he treated very lightly the joint and several guarantee with France . He intended to take the sense of the House oa the question hereafter . The Chancellor of the Exchequer denied tha t the loan was in the nature ot a subsid }' , and stated that the joint and several guarantee was the proposal of France , j it having been agreed that if ever it was necessary for I the two countries to pay the loan , it should be divided | equally between them . He also urged that such a guai rantee enabled Turkey to raise the loan on much easier i terms than she otherwise could have done . I Mr . Gladstone described the proposal as perilous as well as unnecessary , Turkey having recently proved that she could raise a loan for herself ; and the experience of I former transactions of this kind showed that a guarantee I of this nature soon resolved itself into an absolute payment of the debt . Lord Palmerston replied to Mr . Gladstone's objection , urging that this was the only means of enabling i Turkey to bear her part in the war ; and he put the ' question on an international ground . —Mr . Disraeli i . characterised the Loan as a direct advance of money , i and expressed his doubts of the resources of Turkey , to repay it , and he contended that the arrangej ment was one calculated to imperil our future relations ¦ with France . —Sir De Lacy Evans supported the Loan as an assistance to Turkey , but hoped care would be taken that the money would be expepded on the war . Mr . Laing , Mr . < 3 obden , Mr . Cakdwxll , Mr . Walpole , severally opposed the proposition , urging with much force the objections which had been taken to it . Mr . Wilkinson supported it , and the Cilancellob of the Exchequer pointed out the position in which we should be placed with regard to our allies if the House refused to ratify the convention which had been entered into : and Lord " Palmkhston again addressed the House , replving to tbe arguments which had been used hi opposition to the resolution . A division took place . — For the resolution , 135 ; against it , 132 : majority , 3 . THE MAYNOOTH COAIAUSSION . Mr . Spoonek brought on a motion complaining that the " Maynooth commissioners had given territorial titles to Roman Catholic Bishops , and allowed the evidence to i go to Rome . I It was opposed by the Government , and on a division ¦ the numbers were—For the motion , 97 , against it , 76 : majority , 21 . The rest of the business was disposed of , nnd the House adjourned .
