and was considered by many sportsmen to haye the same origin , being communicated to the grouse through feeding on heather unwholesomely affected by the same malady as the potato disease . The young birds are already strong on the wing 1 , are as large as partridges , and altogether promise totbe a match to the < jui « kest eye and steadiest hand on the approaching : " twelfth . " No sooner had the Ninety-First Regiment been removed from Everton Barracks—some being sent to Manchester , and others to Bury and Preston—than the iment andit
Twenty-Eighth Reg occupied their places , , would seem , adopted their feelings of hostility to the police . On two successive evenings this week collisions have taken place between the two forces . Policeman 174 was attacked most brutually by a-soldier of the Twenty-Eighth , and , when assistance arrived , a general mele ' e between the soldiers and police took place . By great forbearance , the police succeeded in preventing any dangerous results from this violence until a picket from the barracks had been procured , into whose custody the soldiers were consigned , and they will be dealt with by
the military authorities . An action for libel has been brought against the proprietor of the Wesleyan Times . The alleged libel consisted in a series of articles purporting to be comment * upon a certain charge of affiliation broug ht against the Reverend W . H . Clarkson . They arose in this way : —A servant living with Mr . Clarkson suddenly left his service pregnant , and declared that he was the father of the child . The charge was of course investigated before the magistrates , and there being no corroborative testimony to support the allegations of the girl , the case was dismissed . Articles were continually appearing in the Wesleyan Times after this , alluding to the case as " undetermined / ' " un'decided , " a " charge hanging over " held his
the Reverend gentleman . This he damaged character j and on this ground he brought the action . Sir Frederick T hesiger appeared for Mr . Clarksori , and the Attorney-General defended Mr . Kaye , the proprietor of the paper . The defence set up was , that the articles in question were " fair" commentaries , which Mr . Kaye had a right to make . Much of the defence was also mixed up with the conduct of the Wesleyan Conference in the matter . They ought to have taken up the charge and investigated it , but had not done so . JLord Campbell summed up the case . The question far the jury was , whether the comments made by the defendant in these articles were prompted by a desire to be of service to the Wesleyan Connection of which he was a member , " and with the view of serving the cause of religion and morality , or whether he made himself a partisan in the matter and wished to insinuate and make it
be believed that the prosecutor was actually guilty of the offence laid to his charge . The defendant deserved the credit of having published a perfectly fair report of the proceedings before the justices . It would be for the jury to say whether his comments bore the same character of fairness . His lordship read passages from the various articles , and commented on them . With regard to what had been done by the counsel who attended for Mr . Clarkson before the justices , it was the duty of the counsel to take the objection , and it was the duty of the justices to act upon it . The jury would look at all the articles in the defendant ' s paper , and would say with what purpose they had been written , and according as they were believed to be fair comments or partisan strictures , the verdict would be for the defendant or for the prosecution . The jury found the defendant Guilty , but recommended him to mercy " on the ground of the strong party feeling existing . "
William Eastwood , of Wandsworth , charged with having murdered his wife at supper by stabbing her with a table-knife , lias been found guilty of manslaughter , and statenccd to transportation for life .. Two young fellows were brought before the Common Serjeant in the Third Court , charged with picking pockets , the name of one was Scholeueld , his age eighteen . Mark Bull , a City officer , said Scholefield had been a thief for above eight years . Scholefield : I beg your pardon , sir , only four years and a half . The Common-Serjeant said that was too long : and transported them for seven years

A return has just been made of the sums received for the use of the public conveniences and lavatories , which shows in the most striking manner the complete success of the plan of the committee appointed by the Council of the Society of Arts , for establishing accommodations of this character upon a self-supporting system . We understand that the council , in pursuance of the recommendation of the committee , have leased three houses in the Strand and Fleet-street , which it is intended to fit up as model establishments of this character . We would recommend respectable shopkeepers , and others possessing suitable premises in public thoroughfares , to consider the propriety of at once placing themselves in communication with the committee , for the purpose of cooperating
in the supply of a want long felt by the public at large . An important alteration has just been made by Parliament with respect to voters known as " Compound Householders . " The new act is entituled " An Act to amend the Law for the Registration of certain Persons commonly known as ' Compound Householders , ' and to facilitate the exercise by such persons of their right to vote in the election of borough members to serve in Parliament . " By parties availing themselves of the provisions of the act before the 20 th instant the franchise may be extended . According to the Reform Act ( 2 nd and 3 rd William IV ., chap . 45 ) the poor ' s rates are required to be paid by the 20 th of July in eacn year , which were payable by the 6 th of April , and by another act , regulating the payment of the rates and taxes by Parliamen-90 the
tary electors ( llth and 12 th Victoria , chap . ) , rates were to be paid by the same period , which were payable by the 5 th of January in each year . It seems that " Compound Householders" are required to make continual claim to be registered , and it is declared to be " often inconvenient or impracticable for such persons to make continual claims in respect to each rate , and many persons are consequently deprived of the franchise . " Therefore it is enacted , that persons having once claimed to be rated in respect of premises , and paying or tendering , on or before the 20 th of July , the rate due * by tho 5 th of January preceding , shall not be required in future to renew such claim . The liability of a claimant to rates is to continue so long as he occupies the premises and remains on the register . A composition with a landlord is to determine the amount of rate to which the tenant is liable .

The debate in the House of Lords last night -was very important , and will make a profound impression . The unusual earnestness and solemnity , the veryslight mrxture of common parliamentary jargon with the texture of the speeches , and the stirring address of the Bishop of Oxford , show what a firm hold the idea of a synod , not onl y as a necessary but as a rightful measure , has obtained in the convictions of the energetic and thoughtful members of the Church of England . of
Lord Redesdale moved last night for a copy a petition presented to both Houses of Parliament in February last from clergy and laity in the province of Canterbury , in order that the House might have an opportunity of discussing the question as to whether the revival of Convocation would benefit the Church . He was decidedly convinced that Convocation was needed , and especially at this moment of confusion , discord , and the absence or hesitation of authorized guidance . This demand for Convocation was met by an official " No" from the Archbishop of Canterbury . He thought " great disappointment or great excitement" would infallibly follow the sitting of Convocation . If it confined itself to formal reforms great would be the disappointment ; if anything more important was touched hostility , excitement , discord , would come
upon them : — " Where we have now a smothered fire , hotter perhaps than is agreeable , but still manageable , we should rai-e a conflagration which it would require all her Majesty s prerogative to extinguish . ( Hear , hear . ) Would peace follow ? Can we suppose that this would prove a healing measure ? I cannot so interpret the spirit of the age as to believe that the great body of the Church , laity or clergy , are prepared to restrict the liberty of opinion on matters hitherto undecided , which our forefathers have always enjoyed , and under which the Church has flourished for three hundred years . "
Ele pointed to A ustralia , where Convocation had failed ; to the General Assembly of Scotland , which had not prevented the Free Church secession . He desired peace , he longed for uniformity ; but peace and uniformity would not now from Convocation . Lord Lyttelton opposed tho Archbishop . lhe Church was an organic body , and required an independent exigence . The connection between the Church and the State was not one of necessity—but convenience in the early days of the Reformation . The Church then submitted to the State , but should the submission be continued ? As Jo Convocation be . ng a means of destroying " peace , " no said : -
" Truth was good , but life and freedom were better . ( Hear hear . ) There had been peace during the U t century—a peace in which the Church ha « l slu . nl > r .- < i . During the continuance of this lethargy , the Church had suffered more than at any oih . tr period of Us history . Had we peace now ? Had we any chance of peace ? None until the Church should , in some measure , recover us action . If we could not have p .-uce without s icrificuig life and freedom let us have war . " The Archbishop of Duiuan was favourable to somo kind of Convocation . The Duke of Auuvll tho-jght the Church had better , perhaps , remain as it is " great disruption" being a necessary consequence of Convocation . Tho Bishop of London said , that
" unless some representative l > ody , combining the representation of nil classed of the Church , should 1 c permitted to alembic and deliberate , he thought tl o time was not very far dw » tant when the ( Government and heads of dioceseB ( a » w . \ Times , understood )
would not know which way to turn . ' Ei * rl Nklhon blamed tho apathy of the .
