Jt carried the Irish Election bill through committée, thanks to Mr. Forster’s patience and talent for conciliation, bat’: after several changes of front satisfying completely neither the Whig Jandlords nor the Irish extremists. It will have, undoubtedly, a larga majority on the third reading of the bill next week. The prospects of the bill in the House of Lords are uncertain. The Whigs are still debating whether to follow Lord Lansdowne’s example or Lord; Hartington’s advice. The Tories hesitate to assume the sole responsibility of defeating the measure. Lord Derby pre- sérves silence. Lord Cairns returns express- jy to attack tho bill. . It ismuch remarked that Beaconsfield, amid the Government’s numerous troubles, holds himself in reserve, -waiting.for the moment. when he may inter- ‘vene most-mischievously. Lansdowne’s res- ignation provokes criticisms-on the manage- ment of his Irish estate. Lansdowne pub- Hishes 3 -. .- AN IMPERFECT DEFENSE - to-day.

The team, therefore, -unanimously excluded him. The shooting began at 9:45, with fair. light and verylittle wind. The teams fired in quads, as follows: American team—First squad, Scott, Laird, Jackson, and Rockwell; second squad, Hyde, Gerrish, Dudley, and Brown.

The-General. insignia of the Golden Fleece, bequeathed to Don Carlos by “his uncle, _ the Grand Duke of. Modena. According. to the verdict, Don Carlos broke it up him- self, and empowered the’ General to sell it for him, so as to raise money for riotous living. The historical jewel was .. ven- erated by the Count de Chambord, who is a double uncle of Don Car- Jos. In a letter to hini Don Carlos pretended to account. for its disappearance by alleging that Gen. Boet. stole it, but he slunk from being examined at the ‘trial, at which he did not even appear. Boet was severely sifted by the prosecuting officers and counsel, but did not break. down in a single point. He showed Don Carlos to bé.a. low, mean feliow. ‘The Baroness Sammogey. who, Don Carlos said, could give valuable evidence, was absent as well as:himself.. The verdict was recsived with enthusiasin by the Milanese.’ Gen. Boet received an ovation on leaving the Court. This was done, not because he was an object. of esteem, but in order to express contempt for the true thief. = RUSSIA.

THE CASE OF STEPHEN MIRSIAN. Spectal Dispatch to .The Chicago Tribune. Bosron, July 24.—This evening’s Traveller says that Stephen Mirsian, condemned to death by Minister Maynard at Alexandria, Egypt, without trial by jury, was formerly a resident of Boston, where he was‘engaged. asa merchant in the Smyrna trade, with his place of business on Lewis’ Wharf, and that he was naturalized in this city about -twenty- five yearsago. The Traveller argues: that :Mirsian is entitled to the protection of our Government and to irial by: jury, which Minister Maynard denied him. But it is likely to be clainied on the part of the Turk- ish Government that the American _Min- ister had no right to interfere: in this case, as the treaty between the Govern- ments of Turkey and the United States pro- vides that American Consuls shall not. ex- tend their protection to rebels. Under the circumstances, there is little probability that the sentence will be executed. ‘ SPAIN. THE COURT TO RETURN TO MADRID.

He, the said, Martin Kraatz, then went down-stairs and immedi-, ately returned. I was then standing inside the door and tried to close the saine; he pushed the door in, and assoon as he saw me he ran a shoemaker’s knife into my belly. This is a true. statement, and I‘ make it be- cause I believe Lam about to die. I am 43. years old, cawe to this country about four: weeks ago,and I and: my brother, Martin Kraatz, never had any trouble -together be-- fore, and I forgive him for all he_has, dorie.: nee “H. KRaatz.” The statement of County-Physiciay Blut- hardt was also read, the substance of ‘which was published in yesterday’s Tribune. 3 The prisoner was then brought.into court, but he declined, under advice of counsel, to make any statement. Kraatz is rather under size, very dark coimplexioned,'hut by no means vicious or even dissipated in his ap- Dearance, and of at least ordinary. intelli- gence.” = The jury returned the following verdict: “We, the ey, find that the deeeased caine to his death by reason of acute peritonitis and enteritis caused by a knife wound in the ab- domen, inilicted by a_ knife in_the hands of his brother, Martin Kraatz. - We, the jury, therefore recommend thatsaid Martin Kraatz be held to await the action of the Grand Jury of Cook County.” 2 The proper mittimus was then made out and Kraatz taken to the County. Jail. BANK FORGER.. ‘ “ George’ Dunlap, of the firm of Dunlap & Swift, real-estate dealers at No. 171 West Madison street, while standing at the corner. of Union and Madison ‘streets at 12:15.yes- terday afternoon, sighted.a man across the street, whom he at once pointed out and began ‘to pursue,” calling out as he ran for some one to stop the’ thief, The fellow upon seeing that a-hue and cry was raised by Mr. Dunlap ‘attempted..to es- cape by rapidly running south through an alley. Capt. MeGarigle, who happened to be in the neighborhood, gaye; chase, and after a run’ of about six . blocks through alleys and streets, and over fences and outhouses, tinully captured the-man’ at the corner of: Monroe and :Jefferson. streets. There was found upon, him a gold hunt- ing-cased watch, two large .books, con- taining paper, together with three checks, two of which, drawn upon Commercial National Bank of this city in favor of Charles Rice, were pronounced forgeries by the bank officials. There was also a sheet of tracing paper and a bottle of ink, such as is being used by Mrs. Rath, E. Eddy, proprietress — of a ;.Testau- rant at «No. I West Medison street. It was a check drawn ‘in favor of this lady upon David Preston & Co., bankers at Detroit, upon which the prisoner succeeded. in getting $10 from Mr. Dunlap, The check was for $100, and he called yester- day noon for the remainder of the. money, and was informed it was a forgery, whereupon he madesome blundering excuse, and hastily left the office. The forger gives the name of George B. Mathews,.and, from letters and documents upon his person, this appears to be his true name.. He is what the police term a “cwnning duck,”. carrying with him ali the time correspondence writ- ten by himself and to himself concerning paying mining and land investmeits. ‘Mathews came here recently from’ De- troit, — an for a time kept’ books for ‘Mrs. Eddy. Te is wanted: in- De- troit, it is ‘said, for a number of small forgeries. ‘The officers of the Com- mercial National Bank. have requested that Mathews be held for several days, as they have suffered losses on forged checks from time to time for months Pash: and Mathews, whois a tall, Jank.. fel- Jow, with 2 Jewish cast of counte: nance, ‘closely tallies to the~ description of theman who pussed them.’ ‘They have besides information from the’ other. victim- ized. parties whom they think the prisoner knows .all about, : ; Fire-Marshal Conway is entitled to mention for the part he took in the capture, Seeing his friend. the Captain, hatless and coatless,’ making sixteen strides per ‘block, he jumped to his little red wagon and touched his whip to “Old Piety,” his favorit horse, which was in the traces. Piety is.not noted more.for his speed than for his horse sense, or rather mis- chief. He knew very well there was no fire, and that there was not going to be any, and, having no knowledgeof police business, he refused to budge. -This was provoking. The Marshal says it was not, but then he de- nies the whole story. However, after re- peated coaxings, Piety was. induced to move on, and just as the Captain captured bis man the Marshal. reached the ‘scene with the air of one who had effected the capiure alone and unaided. Piety knew there was no fire, and trotted off with a “ didn’t I tell yourso ” air. THE BUMBOAT NUISANCE.” “Black Jack,” the genius who presides over one of the bumboats, was around the Government Building yesterday cursing it and everybody in it from turret to founda- tion stone, over the scizure of his pleasure- tug, the Kreamer, which has been plying. be- tween the lake shore and the Government pier, near which the bumboats are anchored. The boat was seized by the Custom-House officials for violation of Sec. 4,438, Revised. Statutes, which provides a penaity of $100 for every boat that doesn’t havea licénsed én- gineer. The usual practice In such cases is for the owner fo knuckle down, pay over: the $100, and say no more about it. But “Black dack” kicked lustily, and the Collector of Customs reported the case to District-Attor- ney Leake for libel. “ Black Jack” nade it_a point to callon Gen. Leake -during the afternoon, but got little comfort. from his interview. The General, unawed by the Vol- Jey of brimstone profanity which escaped the bumboat-man’s lips, quietly told’him that he meant to proceed against him‘ to the extent of the law unless the fine were imme- diately forthcoming. He added—and this was especially galling—that there was another section, No, 4,499, providing for a tine of 3500 for a vivlation of any of the provisions of the Navigation laws. In short, all there was for the bumboat man to do was to hand over $600 and release his boat. from the too tenta- tive grasp of the Custom-House custodian. At last accounts. “ Black Jack”. was still swearing at the luss of his revenue, vrovided the boat remained tied up over Sunday, and still undecided as to whether the. best thing to do wouldn't be to plank down the money and cry quits. For once the bumboat mat has the worst of it. i =e . THE JUSTICES.

He was so thoroughly convinced they had the money that he caused their arrest. “Mrs. Melvin, while taking a ride on one of the pleasure-boats. running out of this harbor, had “her” pocket picked _yester- day of a ‘pocketbook containing” about Sia and some papers. She concluded to say - nothing. about. her . loss until, she - reached the Janding; but happening to notice a young man on the boat draw her papers out of his pocket, atthe same time he drew forth his handkerchief, she recognized the papers and. at~ once charged him with the theft.
