GLAMORGANSHIRE SUMMER ASSIZES.
GLAMORGANSHIRE SUMMER ASSIZES. [Continued from Seventh Page.] William John, a county policeman at Taibach, deposed that lie was with the last witness when the arrest took place. Prisoner said, I wanted to see Dr. Pritchard on his way home, and he was riding very fast and did his best to ride over me and it was then I fired at him. Benjamin Morgan, another constable, said prisoner was placed in his charge at Aberavon station on the eveniBg of March 4. After being duly cautioned, he told witness to go to Taibach, to near John Gough's house and under a sack of bran he would find two pistols. Witness went to the spot described and found the pistols now produced. One was loaded and the other appeared to have been recently dis charged. Prisoner afterwards said I had been waiting in the lane for Dr. Pritchard when he came up on horseback, and held a stick over my head as if he was going to strike me. I had then a pistol in my right hand pocket and I drew it out and fired at him." Thomas Riches, another constable, deposed that while .pri- soner was at Aberavon station on the 5th of March, he said he wished he had killed Dr. Pritchard. Prisoner was very excited at tbe time. Mr. David Davies, surgeon, deposed to being an assistant of the prosecutor. On the evening in question the prosecu- tor came to the surgery with a fresh wound on his right temple, from which blood was flowing. It was evidently a bullet wound, and there were some grains of powder in it, showing that the perion who fired it must have been close to the wounded man at the time. Morgan Hall, a Swansea surgeon, who had also at- tended the prosecutor, corroborated the last witness. Superintendent Thomas, of Neath, produced the pistols as P by a former witness. Mr. Giffard, in summing up the case, said he would not have addressed the jury again but for the tenour of the cross- examination of the prosecutor having indicated that the de- fence of insanity was to be set up. He contended that it was for the prisoner's counsel to make out that he was insane, by producing persons from Swansea, who knew him, to state whether they had seen evidences of insanity in his conduct. It was not for the jury to conclude the prisoner to be insane merely from the reckless character of this assault upon Dr. J or defence of insanity would operate to relieve criminals from the consequences of the worst crimes. Mr. Bowen, in addressing the jury for the prisoner, called attention to the letter of February 28, as showing that in it there was no threat of revenge, but an offer to accept the money without interest, and expressing a wish that all might be forgiven between them. This provtd that at that time the prisoner had no malice against Dr. Pritchard. It was not ne- cessary for the present jury to enter into the matters of ac- count between the doctor and this uneducated old man. All eycould take cognisance of was the fact that the pri- soner believed that justice had not been done to him, and that he had not received what was due to him out of his hard earnings. He contended that when the affray took place, the prisoner had no intention to injure Dr. Pritchard He had jus e ore written to him, asking for an amicable settlement, and expressing no feeling of malice or revenge. He expected an answer to this appeal, and it was for the purpose of ob- taining one that he had waited for Dr. Pritchard in the vicinity of the works. The fact of the prisoner having pistols about him did not imply that he had bought them for the hi .I ""?

He must say that there were many cases of murder which in- volved less deliberation and less apparent intention to take life, than the prisoner had shown during the four or five days preceding this attack on Dr. Prichard, and in the attack it- self. Had the prisoner been convicted of this offence as re- cently as six or seven years ago even, in the then state of the law he would have been sentenced to death and indeed, that be was not a murderer now, and not now standing up to be sentenced to an ignominious death on the scaffold was from no merit of his, but owing solely to the interposition of God's providence, saving Dr. Prichard from the consequences of a deadly aim at his head with a pistol. Had the shot taken the effect intended by the prisoner he would have been now suffering those pangs of remorse which he (the Judge) believed were inseparable from the commission of a murder. He would inflict a sentence which was light considering the gravity of the crime. In doing so he was taking into consi- deration the prisoner's age-which would in all probability render even a comparative short sentence equivalent in his case to penal servitude for life. He was also giving full allowance to the jury's recommendation to mercy, in which the prosecutor had kindly joined and he hoped that, small as the sentence was in comparison with that which a younger man would have received, it would be sufficient to deter others from the commission of such an offence. The sentence was, twelve years' penal servitude. CONCEALMENT OF BIRTH AT CARDIFF. Maiy Ann Evans (19), was indicted for having, at Cardiff, April 13, concealed the birth of a child of which she. had been delivered. Mr. B. T. Williams prosecuted and Mr. Bowen defended. The prisoner was in the service of Dr. Krapf, the Austrian Consul. Her fellow-servant had noticed that she was with child, but had not spoken to her on the subject. On the day in question the prisoner was ill, and went down into the garden. One of the other servants found the body of a child in the ash-box, and on speaking to prisoner, she admitted it to be hers. Dr. Paine was called in, and found that the child was dead before its delivery. In reply to Mr. Bowen, Dr. Paine stated that, the child having died before delivery, it would have been born before its time, and probably without any immediate warning to the prisoner of her being about to be delivered. Under these circumstances Mr. Bowen urged that there had been no unlawful concealment of the birth, the prisoner having freely admitted, both to her fellow-servant and to Detective Price, that the child was hers. He called Dr. Krapf, who gave the prisoner an excellent character, stating that while under bail for this offence, he had retained her in his service, and after the result of this trial he purposed to take her into his service again. The Judge said that cases of this kind varied greatly in character-some were very serious offences, others compara- tively trivial. In this instance there had been no injury done to the child. The object of the law making concealment of birth an offence was, that there should be no attempt to stifle inquiry by surreptitiously disposing of the body; be- cause, if this were permitted, it would lead to neglect of new-born children, if not to their being murdered. The pro- vince of the jury would be merely to determine whether there had been concealment of birth; if there had, it was for the jury to find the prisoner guilty, and the Court would appor- tion the punishment, having regard to the degree of crimina- lity which the circumstances disclosed. The jury Acquitted the prisoner. ROBBERY AT SWANSEA. Rachael Ingle, 21, was indicted for stealing, from the per- son of Jan Von der Heide, money and a handkerchief, at Swansea, July 13. Mr. Bowen prosecuted. The prosecutor, a Dutch sailor, was in a public-house, at midnight on the date specified, with some of his shipmates. The prisoner came in, and requested the sailors to treat her to beer. Prosecutor did so, taking a shilling out of some money-about two pounds—which he had wrapped up in a handkerchief, They then left the house together, and went to a second public-house, called the Troubadour, in the Strand, where the prisoner sat by the prosecutor's side for awhile, and then ran away, on which prosecutor put his hand to his pocket and found his money gone. He pursued her, but could not overtake her. About ten minutes afterwards he saw her standing at the door of the public-house, and charged her with robbing him. She admitted to him, in the presence of a policeman, that it was she who had taken the handker- chief and money, but said that she had given it to another girl. The prisoner now vehemently denied the truth of this evi- dence of the prosecutor and the constable, Sergeant Wilson, alleging that what she had said was, that the other girl had taken the money from the sailor. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and she was sentenced ta twelve months' imprisonment, a former conviction having been proved. HORSE STEALING AT CADOXTONJUXTA NEATH. William Birchill, 18, was indicted for having, at Cadoxton. juxta-Neath, on the 14th April, stolen a horse and bridle, the property of John Bowen. Mr. H. Allen prosecuted, and Mr. Bowen defended. The prosecutor, a farmer, deposed that he last saw his mare safe on his farm on the day in question. He did not see her again until the 5th of May, when a constable brought the pri- soner and the missing animal to him. He had recently bought the bridle at Neath; the mare he had had for two years. A labourer, named Davies, in the prosecutor's em- ployment, had left the mare in a stable, the door of which was closed, but not locked apd the next morning at seven o'clock he found the mare gone and the stable door open. The mare had only two shoes on. The next seen of it was on the 29th April, when the prisoner introduced himself to a blacksmith named Evans, at Ystalyfera, as the owner of the mare, which he said he had bought from a jockey, on the road, and offered to sell it for thirty shillings, saying th4t that was all he had given for it. The defence was that the prisoner had only taken the horse in a drunken freak, without any intention of stealing; and that the offer to sell the animal to Evans was not made in earnest. j- ft/und the prisoner not guilty. Isaac Lyons, 26, glazier, and Emily l!yons, 18, wife of the male prisoner, were indicted for having at Neath, on the Ist July, stolen a blanket, the property of William Crocembe. Mr. Hughes prosecuted. The prosecutor kept a lodging-house at 14, Union-street, Neath. The prisoners had lodged there for three weeks. On the Monday previous to the date in the indictment, the male prisoner left. On the Wednesday, Mrs. Crocombe missed a blanket from the bed on which the psisoners slept. She told the ftmale prisoner of the loss, and she said she had folded it up and put it under the bed, because it was not wanted to cover them during the hot weather. Mrs. Crocombe told her to search for it, and on it not being found, Mrs. Lyons said her husband must have put it somewhere, and that it should be found on his return. Mrs. Crocornbe suspected it was pawned, and asked Mrs. Lyons if she had pledged it, which she denied. The husband returned next day, and on Mrs. Crocombe asking him about the blanket, he replied that he had pledged it. It was found on inquiry that the blanket had been pawned by the female prisoner, at the shop of Lazarus Samuel, Neath, for Is. 6d., by the female prisoner, who gave the name of Mary Williams. The pawn-tieket was found in the pocket of a waistcoat belonging to the male prisoner. On being arrested, the male prisoner admitted that the blanket had been taken by him and pledged by his wife. The Judge directed the female prisoner to be discharged, upon the ground that the law presumed her to have acted under the coercion of her husband. Upon this Mr. Hughes called another witness, Sarah Wood, who stated that the female prisoner had told her she would pawn Mrs. Crocombe's blanket, and that she knew if it was found out, that the law could not punish her, but only her husband. The Judge held that even this did not make the wife respon- sible, as it appeared that the male prisoner admitted that he had taken the blanket and told his wife to pawn it, and as it appeared she gave the ticket to him, from its being found in his pocket. The male prisoner was found Guilty, and sentenced to three weeks' imprisonment. STEALING AT SWANSEA. Mary Edward*. 32, was indicted for having, at Swansea, May 28, stolen a quilt, a frock, and other articles, the pro. perty of Ann Jenkins. Mr. Hughes appeared for the prose. cution. The prosecutrix resided in Crab's-eourt, High street Swansea. On the day in question she missed various article from the wash-tub. Emily Heard, residing in the Strand Swansea, deposed that the prisoner and three men came to a cookshop kept by her, and sold her the things for one shil. ling. Several weeks after Mrs. Heard had the quilt hung out to dry, and it was seen and recognised by the prosecutrix, who sent the police to Heard's. They, from her information, arrested the prisoner, who denied having sold the things, or knowing anything respecting them. A police-officer, however, stated that he had seen the prisoner carrying a parcel wrapped in a bedquilt, within a hundred yards of the prose. cutrix's residence, and, as near as he could remember, on the same date as that on which the articles were missed by the prosecutrix. The prisoner, in defence, undertook to throw the suspicion of the theft upon the witness Heard, who she said had just come out of Bristol jail. The witness Heard denied this, and said she had never been in jail in her life. During the questioning of this witness by the prisoner, the Judge re- marked that the dock where the prisoners stood was so far from his seat, that he did not hear half that passed. The prisoner was found Guilty, and a previous convic- tion was proved. The sentence was, nine menths' hard labour. STEALING AT MERTHYR. John Probert, 39, shoemaker, and Ann Long, 30, widow, were indicted for stealing, at Merthyr, June 24, a bed-quilt, the property of Ann Harris. Mr. F. Williams prosecuted. The male prisoner pleaded Guilty. The female prisoner was placed on her trial. The prosecutrix was an aged woman, with whom the prisoners lodged. The quilt was missed by the old woman, and on the same day the two prisoners went to the shop of Mr. Levy, a pawnbroker, the woman carrying the quilt, and offered it in pledge. The money was received by Probert. In the lodging-house, Probert slept in one room, and the female prisoner cohabited with another man in an- other room. The stolen quilt did n ,t belong to either of the beds occupied by the prisoners. The statement made by the prisoner when taken into custody was, that Probert met her on the tips, he having the quilt, which she did not know to be stolen, and he asked her to carry the qnilt to the pawn- broker's for him, and sht did so. On this the Judge said that he could not see that any case had been made out against the female prisoner, and di. rected her acquittal. Sentence on Probert was deferred. WOUNDING AT MERTHYR. Ellen George (38), married, was indicted for having, at Merthyr, July 8, feloniously wounded Watkin George. Mr. F. Williams appeared for the prosecution. The prosecutor was a smith, at Merthyr, and he stated that on the day in question the prisoner's husband was throwing stones at him. and he (prosecutor) asked him what he meant, and caught him by the arm; on which prisoner's husband gave him a smack on the side of the head, and then prosecutor retaliated by knocking him down. Prosecutor fell on his knees with the force of the blow, and as he was rising up the prisoner struck a knife into his forehead. This was just outside the door of the prisoner's house. She tried to stab him again, in the bowels, but did not succeed in doing so. The prosecutor's statement was corroborated by another smith, named Evans, who resided close by. The surgeon, Mr. Miles, by whom the prosecutor's wound had been examined, stated that it was a cut five inches long, and might have been inflicted by the pocket-knife produced, and which was sworn to by the prosecutor and Evans as tiie one by which the wound had been inflicted. The prisoner on being arrested and charged with the offence, said that if the prosecutor came to her house again she would rip him open. The prisoner now defended herself by saying that her bus- band was an old man of sixty, and crippled, and that on the evening in question the prosecutor came to her house, abusing the old man, and on her ordering him out he dragged the old man out with him, threw him down in the gutter, and beat him until he was nearly killed that she had a knife in her hand at the time, with whicil she was cutting bread and butter, and she went out solely to rescue her husband, and did mean to strike the prosecutor with knife, until she found she could deliver her husband from him in no other way. The jury found the prisoner gnilty of unlwful wounding, and she was sentenced to six weeks' hard labour. ROBBERY AT SWANSEA. The Grand jury threw out the bill against Ellen Temple (31), charged with stealing X13 from the person of Joseph Ferguson, at Swansea, July 8. BROTHEL ROBBERY AT MERTHYR. Mary E,yan (22), was indicted for stealing lis. 4d. from the person of William Thomas Williams, at Merthyr, July 8. Mr. H Allen prosecuted. The prosecutor bad met the prisoner in a public-house, and treated her to a pint of beer after which she took him to a hfuse of ill-fame, when she put her hand in his pocket, and taking out his handkerchief, in which his money was wrapped up, she made off. She was apprehended two days afterwards by Sergeant Rees, when the prosecutor identified her from among other girls as the person who had robbed him. No money was found upon her. She stated that the prosecutor had given her the handkerchief, which was found in her possession. The prisoner was found guilty and a former conviction proved she was sentenced to six months' hard labour. BROTHEL ROBBERY AT CANTON. Robert Dawkins, 26, shipwright, Sarah Strange, 48, mar- ried, and Catherine Wheeler, 29, single, were indicted for having feloniously assaulted and robbed Thomas Rees, at Canton, April 22. Mr. T. Allen prosecuted. The prosecutor, a respectable looking old man, said he lived at Ely. On the day in question he went to a house in Canton and went up stairs with a young woman. The young woman went down stairs, and soon after the prisoner Wheeler came up and put her hand in his pocket, in which be had a purse containing £ H. Witness took hold of her hand to prevent her robbing him, and she halloed mur- der," on which the other two prisoners came into the room, and all three set upon him. They covered his mouth with their hands to prevent his crying out for assistance, and with the aid of a fourth woman not in custody, they all, especially the male prisoner, beat and kicked him. He grasped the prisoner Wheeler by the hair of her head and held with such tenacity that she only got away by leaving two handsful of her hair in his hands. As soon as Wheeler had got safe off with the money, the other prisoners let the prosecutor go, and he obtained the aid of a policeman, still holding to the prisoner Strange, of whom he had not let go since the scuffle. P.C. Price deposed that aoout nine o'clock on the evening of April 22nd, he was fetched to a bouse, 24, Halket-street, Canton, and he foand the prisoner Strange held there by the prosecutor, who charged her with robbing him. In about half-an-hour witness saw the prisoner Dawkins running from the back premises of the Halket-street houses. Sergt. King deposed that he went to the house in Halket- street at a later period of the evening and arrested Dawkins, who was in the act of coming down the stairs of the house. Subsequently he saw Wheeler running from Halket street, in the direction of Cardiff, but she was not arrested until the next day, at Llandaff station, by another policeman. The statement of the prisoners Strange and Dawkins was that they heard the cry of "murder" upstairs, and on going up found the prosecutor ill-using a woman, and pulling her hair, and they interfered to free the woman from him, but had nothing to do with any robbery, nor did they know that he had been robbed; and that the woman in question was not Wheeler, but a strange woman. Wheeler herself also denied having been in the house at the time. She further referred to the fact of her going to Llandaff police court next day to hear Strange and Dawkins tried-at which place she was arrested. If she had been guilty, she would not have gone to Llandaff station the next day, when the case was to be tried. P.C. Williams deposed that while the prisoners were at Llandaff, he overheard a conversation between Dawkins and Strange. The former said to the latter, Have they caught Mary yet? Did they find any of it about her?" He un- derstood this to be a reference to the prisoner Wheeler, who also went by the name of Mary Baker. Sergeant Thornton deposed that after Wheeler's arrest, and while she was being conveyed before the magistrates, he saw her pass something to a little girl who was walking close to them. He took fiom the child's hand what had been placed in it, and found it to be a sovereign. Strange said that the little girl was her child. Wheeler now undertook to explain this by saying that the sovereign had been sent by another woman to pay the expense of hiring a lawyer for Strange's defence. The jury found the prisoners guilty. A previous convic- tiou was proved against Wheeler. Sentence was deferred. STEALING AT CARDIFF. Mary Johnson, alias Sheppard, 33, widow, wss indicted for having, at Cardiff, July 11, stoleu a shirt, the property of John Jones. Mr. Bowen prosecuted. The facts of this case appeared last week in our police re- ports. The prisoner went to the shop of the prosecutor, in Bute-street, corner of Herbert-street, and on pretence of making a purchase, ooncealed a shirt about her, and was de- tected in the act by the shop assistant, and given into custody. The prisoner was found guilty, and a previous conviction was proved against her, in the name of Mary Brown. De- tective Price identified her as the same person, though she > protested that she was not. The sentence was, nine months hard labour. The Court then rose. The Judge stated that civil business would not be taken before Monday. There are thirteen causes on the list. THE CAUSE LIST. Pltff'a. Attrny. Plaintiff. Defendant. Dfdt's A.u.uy.

Some few weeks since we noted that the Bute Trustees were erecting an hydraulic tip at the East Dock basin-it is now in working order, and we are pleased to find that the facilities for despatching vessels (steamers more especially) are considerably increased thereby. A steamer carrying ten or twelve hundred tons may now come in on one tide, load, and get away the next; in proof of which the Jarrow," about 700 tons burthen, on Saturday last, loaded a cargo of the Hirwain Coal and Iron Company's steam coals, at this tip, which was sfiipped in excellent condition. She came into the basin about four in the morning, and was loaded ready to preceed to sea by 1.30 p.m. the same day, out of which time the men employed in loading her stopped about an hour and a half to breakfast, &c. There has been a goodly number of arrivals during the past few days, of both small and large craft. A circular from Quebec, dated the 5th inst., states-Fur the past week our shippers have shown very little inclina- tion to secure tonnage, partly owing to the strike in the coves amongst the hewers for higher wages, and the dead lock between the lumbermen and the ahippera, neither feeling disposed to concede one to the other as to price. So soon as these difficulties are adjusted, great animation will ensue in the freighting market. The latest transactions have been London, 27s. 6d. and 75s.; small vessels, 27e.; timber, 70s deals, Liverpool, 25s.; timber, 72s. 6d.; deals, Greenock, 24s. 6d.; Limerick, 26s.; Leith, 26s. and 70s.; timber and deals, Bristol channel, 25s. 6d. and 73s. 9d. Newport or Cardiff, 24s. 6d. Steam coal proprietors continue to complain of the scarcity of orders, and there is a considerable degree of slackness evinced in the foreign demand. The decrease is mainly in the purchases of Continental buyers, who are particularly cautious in not overstocking themselves. The mail com- panies, aa remarked last week, are tolerably fair customers. The efiorts to increase the rail traffic to Birkenhead are likely to effect the shipments at this port to a slight extent. Iron ore is being imported in considerable quantities. The reports from the iron works are somewhat more satisfactory, and it is evident that the trade has entered upon a more hopeful period. Additional rail orders are looked forward to, which, if secured for this, district, will keep the mills in good employ. Last month the exports reached nearly 11,000 tons. For tin plates coke are selling better, and quotations are firmer. ———

THE NAVAL REVIEW.
THE NAVAL REVIEW. The total strength of the whole fleet appointed to take part in the review was, of vessels of war (exclusive of armed troop-ships, &c.), 49, mount- ing 1,092 guns, and having an aggregate power of 22,500 horses and a burden of 102,000 tons. This in numbers exceeded the fleet that left for the Baltic under Sir Charles Napier in 1854. Both these fleets, however, were nothing in numbers to the tremendous armada which the Queen with the Prince Consort reviewed at Spit- head in 1856. Then there were no less than 300 craft afloat of various kinds and sizes, including 26 screw line of battle ships and 90 first-class frigates. Great and imposing as this display was, however, it really fell short as an exhibition of naval power of the fleet of Wednesday. Four or five vessels, dwarfed by the lofty three-deckers around them, were in themselves sufficient to sweep the ocean of nearly all the wooden ships that ever floated. The little fleet of gunboats formed a separate squadron higher up the roadstead, in the smoother water which they BO much needed in such a swell. The whole fleet was moored in two magnificent lines; the flagship of the port division being that most superb of all English three-deckers the Victoria, and that of the starboard the huge five-masted Minotaur, one of the great leviathans of our iron fleet. At eaual distances from these came the rest of the fleet. It was expected that the review would begin very early, and no man-of-war boats were to leave with visitors to the fleet later than 9.30 in the morning. Long before that time, however, it was impossible, as the wind freshened, for any boats to leave at all, and still more difficult to find people willing to face what was not only the discomfort, but even the positive risk, of going off in them. Soon after ten o'clock the wind freshened considerably, the gray drift of clouds on the horizon mounted up with alarming rapidity, and the first of the long succession of squalls which continued with little intermission throughout the day broke over the harbour. The wind was so strong that at times there was hardly any facing it, while clouds of blinding rain came down almost with the force of small shot. Signal* passed between the flagship and the rest of the fleet, which were generally interpreted as conveying the order that the ships were not to weigh or even man the yards. Dressing the ships was, of course, out of the question. No halyards would have held a mass of wet bunting in such a wind. So complete was the belief that there would be nothing worth seeing, that the dense crowds which had covered Southsea beach and indeed all parts of the shore, began to disperse. The pleasure- boats and yachts came hurrying in, and the roadstead, devoid of any sign of animation beyond the fleet itself, was left to the wind and the rain and the dirty-looking cross seas which, ridged with white spray, came tumbling rank over rank before the gale. It was really a miserable beginning to what afterwards proved a miserable day. Oc- casionally little breaks would come in the scud, half rain, half mist, and raised delusive hopes that the day might even yet prove fine; but it never did. It was cheerless and uncomfortable from first to last. The delay of the Viceroy's train in arriving at the Jetty was rather distracting to those who were waiting to re- ceive his Highness, for at a critical moment the guns of the flagship announced the coming of the Sultan. And so the Board of Admiralty divided itself, and the First Lord and Admiral Milne and Mr. Romaine and others hastened to do their duty to the Padishah, and Admiral Seymour, Mr. Ducaoe, and another section of naval authorities waited to receive the Viceroy. After several baselesa "alertes" the engine and car- riage made their appearance in the Dockyard, and halted by a little platform, covered with red cloth, at which his Highness and suite, attended by Major- General Seymour and officers attached to his suite, descended. The Mayor and Corporation immediately advanced to his Highness and began their address. No doubt the Viceroy's reply was very gracious, but the Victory, the Duke of Wellington, and the St. Vincent were calling attention to the fact that the Sultan had arrived and was on board the Osborne, and the Turkish ensign, enveloped in friendly smoke, was seen floating only too stiff and flat in the breeze on board the Victory. The Osborne was prepared with great elegance and luxury for the reception of his Majesty, nor was the Helicon, on which the Viceroy of Egypt embarked, at all wanting in taste and care for his Highness's proper enter- tainment. As soon as the Corporation could get off to the Osborne, their address was presented to the Sultan. The salute in honour of the Sultan was speedily followed by that which welcomed his lieutenant in the land of Egypt, and the procession was formed from the harbour, and with the wind whistling through the rigging, and a cold, leaden-coloured sea, flecked with white seahorses surging against their bows, the Osborne and Helicon stood out towards Spithead, followed by the Enchantress flying the Admiralty flag, the Tanjore, Ripon, Syria, and other vessels which were entitled to take part in tbe pageant, and by some non-official steamers. Near at hand were the hulls of the Victory, Duke of Wellington, and St. Vincent, with a white bordering of sailors above the hammock nettings, and a scarlet belt of marines on the quarter-decks; the training ship with its youthful, joyous crew; the granite walls, with their dull- pupilled embrasures, which hem the water; on the left, masses of people clustering on every point, or bordering like a black salvage of rock the fretful line where tide shingle strive together, all away from the saluting battery round by Southsea Castle to Fort Cumberland. As the yachts emerged from the harbour, the long array of the fleet stretching in double line between Sturbridge and the main came in view. There were few yachts to be seen at sea. Before the Sultan left the harbour it was not believea possible that the men could man yards in such weather, but the life lines had been rove, and as the flags of the Osborne passed the embrasures of Blockhouse Fort the men of all the ships of war swarmed into the rigging, and kept together in black clusters near the masts till the order was given to lay out, when every yard in all the fleet was fringed with its tall even rows of sailors, facing gusts of wind ftnd driving showers of rain with as much steadiness and appasent indifference as if they stood on deck. It must have been a trial for the crews, however, for hardly had each ship executed this manoeuvre with a rapidity and precision that were machine-like, when the soud hid almost everything from view, ana only the blaek hulls and tall span could be seen through the mist, and every vessel looked as watery and unsubstantial as the Flying Dutchman. Not till the Sultan's yacht was close upon the flagsmp did the salute begin, and there was something etately ana magnificent in the style in which the huge vessels fired gun for gun almost simultaneously with each other, till the channel was wreathed in clouds of white curling smoke which, mounting higher and higher as the wind took it landward, shrouded alike spars and hulls in its thick mass-thiaker even than the mists which had preceded it. As a matter of course the firing only brought the rain more heavily than before, and when the smoke dllf clear at last the aspect of the whole road- stead was oheerlees and wintry-looking in the extreme. As the yachts approached Osborae, the Royal yacht could be discerned throiigh a fresh squall which wiped out a gleam of sunshine, but it was seen that the Royal standard was flying, and soon afterwards it was announced by some keen-sighted persons that the Queen was on board-an announcement which created the liveliest gratification. Soon the standard of the Turk and the Royal Standard of England flew together from the main of the Victoria and Albert, and proclaimed that the Sultan was in the presence of the Queen. It was L40 when her Majesty's yacht moved slowly ahead, pre. ceded by uie Trinity yacht as pilot and followed by the Osborne, Helicon, Enchantress, and other vessels plaoed at the disposal of the visitors. A rumour ran from ship to ship that, by the desire of her Majesty, no salute should be fired, and that the yards should not be manned as she steamed between the lines of the fleet. But whether this was a false alarm or a momentary lull in the weather caused a change in the Royal purpose, certain it is that all the Victoria and Albert drew near the leading vessel of the port division, the crews of all the men-of-war were thrown aloft into the shrouds, and from ship to ship theSreran, now rising in thundering crash through the abating storm, or dying away in a hoarse, rough murmur in the midst of an angry squall The Poder Skram, ignorant of onr signals, sent her men aloft and laying out upon the y»rd«. But the British sailors, as if determined to shew that they had not in these days of ironclads lost their daring, though deprived by her Majesty's gracious consideration of the opportunity of exhibiting themselves at the end of the royal yard-arms, insisted on decorating the trucks, and to the admiration of the spectators as they passed, now the Black Prince, now the Warrior, men were seen aloft waving their caps or flying Pieces of bnnting, and leading the cheers which were almost lost m the storm Nor were the wooden ships behindhand in similar displays of animated mastheads. The Queens yaoht slowly rounded the Serapis, and then stood towards the island and in a little while a signal flew from the Adnairal-" Prepare to engage the e?emyi u ,7 th« answering pennant been cleared before^ all along1 the line a fire which gave the most vivid impressioa of the tremendous force of our new armainepts, was opened, and continued for nearly twenty minutes. It was nearly three o'clock when the Queen's yacht anchored, and the cannonade seemed to have produced a desire to carry out as far as wns possible the rest of the programme. The Royal yacht accor- dingly signalled, Is it possible for the gunboats to attaok the forts?' lhe answer was, Yes." and the attack was ordered by the signal "Weigh, and attack fbrts." The sixteen gunboats, under the command of Captain Hood, of the Excellent, began moving about like so many mos- quitoes, and at' proceeded in two divisions to attack the Portsmouth defences, and to represent as far as could be done by such small fry an attempt to force the harbour. -k°n& before these pigmy assailants had maue a hostile movement, Forts Monckton, Block- house, Kings Bastion, Portsmouth, Southsea Castle, the Lumps ort, aud Eastney had made everything ready to give them a warm reception, and the warfare raged as furiously as the weather would permit. Before the gunboats bad Ceased their attack the Royal y^bt weighed anchor and proceeded towards Osborne, bein" saluted as usual as she passed. tVhile the Royal yacht was slowly dropping down to her berth, the Queen was visible on deck conversing with the Sultan, and it was seen with ear est satisfaction that his Majesty had received the Garter at the hands of our gracious sovereign, and wore the blue riband over his shoulder. A quarter of an hour or more elapsed before the Queen went on board the Alberta from the Royal yaoht, having taken forijial leave of her Imperial guest, and the signal was made to salute the Sultan as lie re- turned past the fleet to Clarence Yard. A guard of honour was in waiting at the private station, or rather siding in the Clarence Yard, where the Royal train was drawn up near the water's edge. His Majesty arrived in London soon after nine.

MERTHYR. A grand demenstration in connexion with the laying of the foundation stone of the Merthyr Tydvil British Schools took place on Thursday. At two o'clock in the afternoon 1,500 Sunday School children mat in the Market-square, and a procession was formed headed by the committee, the architect cairying the plans, to- gether with the bottle containing the documents and ooins, the contractor bearing the trowel, and tbe con- tractor's manager the mallet. Theyparaded through the principal streets in the town on the way to the site, where they assembled to receive Lady Charlotte Scbreiber at half-past three o'clock—numerous flags gracing the spot. There were about eight thousand persons present. The proceedings commenced by singing, followed by a prayer in Welsh; after which the Secretary gave a description of the contents of the bottle, which was then put in the place assigned for it by the architect. Then Lady Charlotte completed the ceremony in right good will, by striking the stone with the mallet, at the same time pronouncing that it was well and truly laid, amidst loud cheers. An address was given by Mr. Clark, of Dowlais, followed by one from Lady Charlotte Schreiber. The ministers of the town then gave ad- dresses in Welsh and English.

PARLIAMENTARY INTELLIGENCE.…
PARLIAMENTARY INTELLIGENCE. THURSDAY. The House of Lords went into committee on the Offices and Oaths Bill, and to make it as complete as possible, Lord Lyveden proposed to include in the bill the office of Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. The amendment was opposed by several noble lords, amongst the number being the Earl of Derby, who, whilst admitting the justice of opening to Roman Catholics the highest rewards for their ability and industry in every profession, said that the Lord-Lieutenant was the delegated representative of the Crown, and that the Constitu- tion required that he should be a Protestant. The amend- ment was warmly supported by the Earl of Kimberley, but upon a division it was rejected by a majority of 69 to b3. The bill subsequently passed through ci»nSmittee. The Tran- substantiation Declaration Abolition Bill was strenuously opposed by the Marquis of Westmeath, who characterised the measure as an unwarrantable violation of the Protestant Constitution. Notwithstanding the hostility of a few noble lords, the Bill passed through committee. Several bills were advanced a stage, and their lordships adjourned. In the House of Commons, Lord Stanley stated, in reply to Sir L. Palk, that it was not the intention of Government to ask the House to record its opinion on the murder of the Emperor Maximilian. It should be remembered that, great as were the power and influence of Parliament, they were the Parliament of the United Kingdom and not of Europe; that they were in no sense responsible for the lamentable event which had occurred; and that it was very doubtful whether a debate on an international question of this character was likely to be practically uselul or conducive to a good understanding with other powers. Mr. Secretary Hardy having moved that the House should go into committee on the Trades'Union Commission Act (1867) Extension Bill, which empowers the Government in certain cases to authorise the commissioners to extend the circle of their inquiries to any part of the United Kingdom, Mr. W. Forster took the opportunity, as a Yorkshireman.of expressing the shame and indignation be felt at finding that ar.y portion of his country, men could take part in such cold blooded assassinations as had lately been disclosed before the commissioners at Shef. field. He doubted, however, if, for the purpose of getting at these facts, it was absolutely necessary to pay the price of a general indemnity. He did not mean to imply any blame to the commissioners who conducted the inquiry at Sheffield; but Parliament should take care not to sap the foundations of justice by leading persona to underrate the gravity of the horrible crime of murder; and he feared that the late pro- ceedings would, to a certain extent, have that effect. After a short debate the bill was passed through committee. FRIDAY. The Lords met at five o'clock. The Meetings in the Royal Parks Bill was postponed. The Trust* (Scotland) Bill was read a second time. Several other bills were advanced a stage. The s<cond reading of the Court of Chancery (des- patch of business) Bill led to an Interesting discussion on the Appellate Jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery and iheir lordships' house, in which Lord Romilly and Lord Cairns took part. The bill was read a second time. In the House of Commons, Mr. Hardy said it was true thit Mr. Conolly, who watched the proceedings before the Teades' Union Commissioners, on behalf of certain trades, had been forbidden by the Commissioners to continue his at- tendance, and the reason was that he had made observations reflecting on the character of one of the members of the Com- mission. Mr. Roebuck said the remark made by Mr. Conolly was, that anything might be expected from a town which returned Mr. Roebuck. The real meaning of that statement was, that he (Mr. Roebuck) was a man that would sit in Parliament and represent murderers, and he tlieretorc told the Commissioners that either he or Mr. Conolly must leave the room, as he could not sit under the same roof with a person who made use of such language. The Com- missioner., excluded Mr. Conolly, and he (Mr. Roebuck) re- mained.—On the order of the day for considering the Re- presentation of the People Bill as amended, Mr. H. Berkeley moved a ballot clause. Upon a division the numbers weie— For the clause, 112; against, I61; majority against, 49. T.ie clause was consequently rejected. Lord E. Cecil proposed a clause providing that any person who had, when of full age, been convicted of any otience, for which he had been sen- tenced to penal servitude, and who had not received a full pardon for the same, should be incapable of voting at any. electioll. for members of Parliament. The clause was r.ega- J lived without a division. Mr. Freeley moved the insertion of a clause requiring the overseers to make out a lUt of per- ] sons in arrear of rates. The clause was added to the bill. ] On the motmn of Sir F. Goldsmid, an amendment was in- < troduced into clause 3, making it clear that the new electors, ] enfranchised by the Bill, should not be entitled to vote during the present year. Upon some amendments proposed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer to be inserted in the] clause giving a lodger franchise, Mr. Boiiverie expressed strong doubts of the workable nature 01 the clau?e. The j etlect of the proposal would be to give the franchise to per- ] sons who h:id no settled home, and, in contested elections in populous districts, a wide door would be opened for fraud J anJ personation. Mr. M'Laren spoke warmly ili favour of a ] lodger franchise, and the amendments were agreed to. JUr. P. Taylor moved an amendment, the objtct of which ws.s to provide that the lodger franchise shuuld apply tc the occupa- tion 01 different lodgers in succession." Tile amendment J was negatived.
