At an early hour on Saturday morning a messen ger arrived at Loader. from Hinckley, conveying intelli. games that a riot was anticipated at Hiackley by the opera tives, and asking for reinforeemeate of police to aid in m ien* the peace. About forty of the county police were mat, and the Earl Howe 's troop of yeomanry cavalry received instructions to hold itself in readiness should !is services be required. The particulars of the die terbium are these : Through the continuance of the distress in the district, and the alincit entire ethane. ties of the relief funds in the hands of the local re. lief committee, the guardians were applied to, and re solved to give out-door relief to all persons who have ehikiren, but single men, women, and married people with. eat families were to be deprived of outdoor relief unless the labour test is put in operation. At a meeting of the board of guardians held at Hinckley, on Thursday, it was resolved that the men should commence wink at 8 o'clock, lanced of 9 o'clock in the morning as heretofore. On Fri day morning the men went to work at 9 o'clock at previ. ously, and cootimeed at their occupation until 4 o'clock in the afternoon, whea they west foe their money. As they had faded to work the extra boar demanded of them, tickets were offered, but these they refused to accept, and • tumultuous mane easued—the men outside, to the number of about 400, continuing to hoot sad utter the most discordant yells at the master and matron of the house and other workhouse officials. The muter found it impossible to appease the men, and the guardians were seat for. Os their arrival they were greeted with blue from the crowd, which had yet cs , usiderably augmented. The house was eventually offered to the men, sod this they agreed to take. A some of much excitement then issued. Some at ma rushed into the braiding, while others might be new going to the adjoining villages of East Slalom, Harwell, amid Her especially, retuning with their wives sad families, with whom they entered the home. This state of affairs mo tioned until about midnight, what between nal and 400 families had been admitted, and, the boom being then full, enlaces were reined au entrance. The crowd, however, missed to go away, the perms/does of the polite Wise of no avail, sad they continued in hoot of the house in an suited slate natil about half-past 4 o'clock, when their ambers bad somewhat decreased, and the guardians, who had leen is attendance all night left. Inside the home all win a a state of tumult with the clamour and excitement of the occupants, who cootinued to whistle and conduct themselves in a moat disorderly manner, notwithstanding the remonstrances of the master. On Saturday morning the home was again surrounded by a large number of the operatives, who demanded admission ; but, as the howls was full, it was of course refused them. The excitement, which was very great, was much increased by the conduct of Time "'Shia the house, who used taunting language, and Atoned to those outside, bidding them to create a disturb ance. The men continued outside, tbreateeing what they would do if they did not have their waists supplied ; but up to the time of the despatch of this, no breach of the peace had taken place. EXTRAORDINARY ABSTINKNCI MOM FOOD.—OR the 16th of April a young woman, aged twenty-seves, and named Martha Batten, was apprehended at Newbury on a cheers Of vagrancy. She was sentenced to twenty -Due days morisoornent. She was brought to the Reading gaol en the leith of ApriL From the moment of her comic. lion she expressed her determination sot to eat anything -whilst she was in prison. On her arrival at Reading gaol she had been for three days without food. She was evidently determined to °patinae the same plan. She refused to eat or to drink anything. Day after day Maidand her determination continued still nashanged. i.:lficers of the gaol, and everyone acquainted with the circummances, were astonished that a pens. could con tinue so Meg without aliment. Oa the 27th April—marl eighteen days from the tune of h er appre h ens i oo—t h is woman bad taken, to use a common expression, neither " bit nor drop" of anything. The physician to the gaol (Dr. Woodhouse) sad the surgeon (Yr. F. A. Bully) felt that the woman could not be allowed to pursue this coons any longer, and they ordered that some broth and gruel should be forced down her throat. It was not till she found that unmistakeable preparatiooe were Wog made for doing this that she at leat succumbed and partook of • small quantity of broth and gruel. The most stran,;e part of the affair is that the woman appeared very little affected in her bodily health by her long - continued Lot. A repreeeatatima was made to the Secretary of State, and inquiries were instituted as to the mental condition of the prisoner, and she was ulti mately removed to Littlemore Lunatic Asylum. During ter imprisonment iu the gaol Martha Batten was visited by several medical gentlemen in the tows, aad they expressed &hawse'sea to te perfectly astonished at the fact that a person could for No long a time abstain from food, with apparently so little ill effect resulting from it. We are in formed that on • previous occasion the woman did very much the same thing. Two years ago she wan imprisoned in Reading gaol, and she them went for seventeen Jaya without food.— Berkatire Chronicle.

The society also °onside' it its duty to point out to the superior authority the illegality and the dangers of those fights, and to solicit the interdiction of them." MURDER NEAR HERNE BAY.—OD Saturday evening a brutal murder was perpetrated at a little village called Maypole. situate in the parish of Herne, • short die tetic. from Herne Bay. The murdered man was • carrier between that place and Canterbury, and a dealer in stock, named Richard Steed. It appeared that early in the even ing be wee drinking at • publio.boase with a number of navvies and • man named Alfred Eldrid ge , who has recently been discharged from St. Augustine 's Gaol, where he had been confined for stealing timber. The deceased (who was of • very quarrelsome disposition while under the influence of drink) quarrelled with some of the parties in the public. house, and left for the purpose of going home. He was ac: oompanied by Eldridge. He was not seen afterwards until between 7 and 8 o'clock,when he was found almost in • lifelessatate in • middleroad leading from Herne to Maypole, where he resided. He was frightfully disfigured,his face being completely battered in as if by • severe kick. Though in this state, life was not quite extinct, the poor fellow still breath big. He was removed to his home as quickly as poemble, aid medical assistance seat for, but it was of no avail se be immediately afterwards expired. The county constabulary were apprised of the tranesetioe, and Sergeant Walker, from circumstances that came to his knowledge, subsequently apprehended Alfred Eldridge on suspicion of being concerned in the murder, and conveyed him to the lock-up at Canter. bury. The accused is a labourer, and 33 years of age. He protests his innocence of the crime, but admits that he left the public-house in company with the deceased. He states, however, that he parted with him some 200 or 300 yards from whirrs the body was found. Owe ACCIDENT AT HORNSZY-WOOD HOUSE. On Saturday afternoon a serious accident took place in the enclosed shooting-ground at Hornsey.wood House during one of the usual pigeon shooting sweepstakes. At these gatherings experierited persons are in attendance for the purpose of loading and capping the guns for the competi tors, and in the event of the guns getting out of order there is a workman's bench upon the ground, which is 'Muted between the spectators and those competing for the prises ; consequently the bench is generally surrounded during the firing. It appeared that as Mr. Thorogood was Gouged in loading the gun of one of the gentlemen con tending for • sweepstakes, and while in the act of letting the triggers down upon the nipples, having previously placed the caps upon them, he, by pore accident, touched the trigger of the left-hand barrel, which instantly dischareed its contents into the leg of a gentleman who was standing about two feet from it, and shattered the ankle, leaving the foot banging by • piece of skin. The unfortunate man , who is about 25 years of op, and whose name is Robert Taylor, residing lathe Holloway-mad, fell to the ground, while poor Thorogood, who wee almost frantic at what he bad done, ran for medical assistance. The shooting was instantly stopped, and everybody on the ground manifested the deepest sympathy for the unfortunate man, who lay in an apparently dying state. Upon the arrival of Mr. Collew, of the Horneeproad, the poor fellow's leg wee bound up, and be woe conveyed to Bartholomew's Hospital, where it was found necessary to amputate the limb, and it is said to be doubtful whether the unfortunate man will survive the accident._ THE LOSS or THE S♦R♦H P♦LHEI.—LIVERPOOL, SATCEDAY.—Oar readers will remember that when this vessel went ashore neer Tanker Light all the crew with the exception of 11 reached the shore Wilily. The 11, among whom was the captain, were carried away in one of the ship's boats, end doubt. were beginning tobe entertained for their safety. Today, however, at noon, a telegram was received in Liverpool, animancing the fact that the missing boat and the 11 men had reached Queenstown safely that morning, after three day. koocking about.

TEN DRIED HUNDRED RA ILWAY. —This line it to be opened for traffic between Colchester and Wivenhoe to-day, sod an isispeetioo of the way and works was made on Saturday by • party of directors of the Great Esatern Company. The hoe, which commences at the Hythe, Col chester, and runs alms the valley of the COlllO to Wiven hoe, has bean constructed by gr. A. Ogilvie. At the Hythe it forms • junction with a abort branch of the Great Eastern, and it will be worked by that oo.opasy, and no doubt will be eventually fused in its system. The working of the increased Miele will necessitate some additional accommodation at the Colchester station, and arrange. menta are under consideration to attain this object. It is expected that the Wivenhoe trains will run into a carriage dock similar to that used at lifermiogtree, where the Harwich branch leaves the main line. From Wivenhoe the Teodriog HaDdred line will eventually be earned to the coast at Briglitlhigese and Waltonwn•the-Nun. The work. executed thus far have been carried out under the direction of Mr. P,Braff, C. E.

Salisbury was not productive of incident, the Derby not being speculated upon tithe extent that hes been noticed in former years, , a▪ lthough the striking out of Automaton was not known by the talents present. It created a greateensetion io London, and for twenty-four hours was sot believed, many thinking the Hews. Weatherby bad been hoaxed, or that some error had been committed, for the horse was reported to his many friirods as doing well on Thursday ; but it is now said he broke away at exercise early on Friday morning, threw the lad that was on him, and severely iojured himself before caught ; and as he was always • most awkward brute to ride, the story is generally believed to be too true. Happening as it did, the " aobblers "had not • chance of getting • guinea out of him, owing to the promptness of Lord Stamford in having him struck out ; at . the time, the stable could not save any of the money put on the horse for the Derby, and everybody must sympathise with his lordship for hie disappointment, which is doublylgalling when following so closely oo the break down of Brick on the eve of the Two Thousand. The Cheater programme is large enough in extent, and the 29 prizes advertised would be of sufficient value to at tract large fields, did they not threaten to clash so much OM with the other. No fewer than ten minor handicaps are already completed, and some of them are so peculiarly coostructed that they really do not deserve good fields, it being unsafe at this writing to, touch upon more than the lot contested on the first day, the chief of which are the Wynnatay, " nearly • mile," and the Chesterfield, seven furlongs. In the last namrrl for three yr-olds only, the Mountain Maid filly has 6st 10Ib, and Erin go.Bragh, 7st 41b ; while in the Wynnstay the filly has fist 121 b to the Irishman's fist 81b, sod it is impossible to think otherwise than that the handicapper has road* • great mistake. The filly looks literally turned loose in the Ches terfield, as u also Marigold, Est 21b, so far aer public form may be followed, and they should frighten • great many from the starting post, as it looks really • match between the two, unless Binifinder, fist 61b, is the good horse they think him at Middleham. In the Wynnatay the three-yr. olds have considerably the worst of the weights, with such a trio en Alchymist, 4 yrs, 7st (or Merry Maid, 4 yrs, fist 81b); Heroics, 3 yrs, 6st 12Ib ; and Brilliant, syra, 7st 12111, in the field; but if Antipodes, 3 yrs, fist, u wanted for the half-mile 50/. Plate, I know not where the old one is to wine from that can beat him. The Palatine Cup Stakes, one mils and • half, would not be a bad Chester Cup trial if Bonny Breast Knot, 4 yes, 7st 41b; Valentine, 3 yrs, bat 41b; Serf, 3 yrs, Est 21b; and Lady Superior, 3 yrs, sat I3lb, met; but the four-year-olds haveonly Valentine to fear on public form. The other events are out of my lati tude. The Tradesmen's Plate, or Chester Cup, has been what is termed a bad betting race, those that were first intro cooed into the market having kept their positions so steadily that the layers have had • fearful time of it, and it lies been impossible for much money to be got ou the cracks, es in the days of St. Albans, Leamington, Joe Miller, Ito., when fortunes were won by several without doing the ring serious harm. W. Day's formidable stable has Ind in the market, sheavyspeenlator hevingstopped Dr. Syntax (supposing him to be • good bone) by taking 40,C30 to 1,030 about him of the " wrong party, and Woodyeates will not be represented, unless by the treacherous Catch .'ens. alive. Gadding's stable, too, is without • favourite, only Black Deer sad Amdahl ever being backed, and they are now autos( the "kaocked out," it being doubtful whether the latter will run ; and Lad Stamford is supposed not to run either of his four, dangerous se they all looked at one time. Mr. Hughes might run a couple M. Philippe and Real Jam, the latter being " doubtful , Sir Joaeph Hawley Asteroid and Cowley ; the Frenchmen Stradella and Valentine (the latter to make running) ; and T. S. Dawson's stable Had. dington and Serf ; but Mr. Merry may not run both Buckstone and Knave, or Lad St. Vincent Zet land and Bahian, the starting of Buckstone and Reiland being very doubtful ; and there has been nothing done to shoe Mr. Saxon intends running either Double Xor lady Superior. The Plover, Caller On, Dunkeld, Gardener, (humeri's°, Fitz• Ana, Amelia, Fantail, Ben Webster, Forester, lady of the Isles, Erin-go-Bregh, Hartingtoo, Port Royal, and Contralti' are the only others that are talked about as likely to figure at Chester, and I have my doubts about all the list-named seven, despite the price Bea was brought to one day last week. Thus, at the outside, more than twenty starters cannot be expected, and the only animals really in th e market are Stradella, Caller Os, th e Plover, Asteroid, Haddington, the Serf. Dunkeld, Gardener, the Knave, Camerino, H.Philippe, and Fits-Avon, although previous to their defeats this season Cowley, Buck. stone. 7..etland, Fantail, sad Amelia were all entrusted with "good money," and should they seethe starter among be in cluded with the above dozen as "going for the money." But there is no question about StradeUs, Caller On and Dunkeld having all the best of the weights, so far as recent public performances can tell us ; and nothing appears to me capable of splitting the trio, unless Camerino and M. Philippe have returned to their old forms, this latter pair affording the only charm of bookmakers getting oqt of their difficulty. It is but a forlorn hope for them, as Canaria° is an infirm horse, and might fall lame in the race, which he did more than once last Deana ; while the old borne appeared to be used up years ago. The three cracks—Stradella, Caller On, and Dunkeld—l have • liking fain the order named, the favourite hating the beet of the weights with both t_he others. _ _ The Biennial and the Sweepstakes look like "good things" for Flying Fish and Fantastic ; and the Dee Stakes, oti Thursday, may reduce itself to a match between Borealis and Avondale, the latter for choice, for Newchurch, Falcon, BirdAnder, Lady Superior, Overture, Trump Queen, and Bohemian, are the best of their opponents. The only other item that can claim attention is the Stewards' Cup, decided on Friday, for which Stradella, should she win the Chester Cup, will have only Fairwater and Asteroid to fear.— I ars, Au, METEOR.

Bitting, in Banco.—(Bofors Lord Chief Justice Coekburn andJustines Crompton. Malice, and Blackburn.) WILSON (A r) ro. r BTZ W. •lIT .(11111PONDICIT).LKATI HAMILTON'S AND THI ro . Licz. Mr. Keane (for the appellant) aid the Charles Stewart, was waiter at Kate Hamilton's, and he had been summoned before the magistrate at Marlboroughetrest for aiding and abetting • perso named Fryer, the proprietor of the house, in knowingly permitting the assemblage of pros titutes in the house contrary to the act. It appeared that Fryer was purposely absent from the house to avoid certain police warrants issued against him for keeping Kate Hamil ton s open, and permitting and suffering prostitutes to assemble and remain on the premises, and during his absence the police went to the house, and there found the respondent acting as ma.- anger, and a large number of prostitates there par taking of refreshments. It was not disputed that Fryer wee the keeper of the house. Mr. Justice Crompton said there appeared to be a clear ease against Fryer. Mr. Keane said that was so and that he should have thought would have been sufficient for convicting his servant, the relation of master and servant having been established. fir. Justice Crompton said he was afraid not He might not have been present all the time, and being merely • servant he might not have been a p arty to the prostitutes being present. Mr. Keane said Stewart was Fryer's bead waiter and ma nager , and the circumstance of the prostitutes being rimiest being ▪ then remaining in the house was repeatedly brought to his knowledge by the police. The magistrate found that the relation between master and servant was proved, and he asked the opinion of the court whether that was sufficient to warrant him in convicting the defendant in aiding and abetting Fryer in keeping the house and permitting pros titutes to be and remain on the premises, in which case the respondent was liable to the same penalties as if he were the proprietor. The question here was not whether Fryer had committed au offence, but whether the relation of master and servant had been sufficiently established to render the respondent liable. Mr. Justice Blackburn said there was abundant evidence to prove the relation between the parties of master and ser vant, but he doubted if there was enough to convict Stewart of aiding and abetting. Mr. Justice Mellor said that by the Bawdy-house Act, the manager was made the keeper. Mr. Keane said that was so, but there was no such prin sion in the act under which the respondent was summoned. It was difficult to find out, from the case submitted to the court, what it was the magistrate asked to have decided. Mr. Justice Crompton said be thought the court could do no other, as the case was stated, than dismias the case without coins. _ _ . Hr. Kama said what was wanted was their lordabips' opinion for future guidance. Mr. Justice Crompton said that no doubt there was outd o:lest evidence to draw the conclusion that the manajsr was aiding and abettitg the proprietor, but ss that was not left to them, they could only eat on what was before them. He declined to draw facts from the evidence for the mails. taste, and therefore the appeal must be dismissed without oosta.—Appeal dismissed soserdingly. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.-MAY 2. &Mop la Bunco.—(Brian Lord Chief Justice Br* and Justices Willis, Byks, sod Keating.) _ 6A BART 9. BALL.-ARTIBTIC COI7III9HT. In this case the goodie° raised was whether a photo graphic copy of a copyright engraving was an infringement of the Copyright Act. The facts were that Mr. Gembart was the proprietor of Boma Bonbon?' " Horse Fair," sad of Mr. Holman Hunt's " Light of the World," and he bad at great expense had these pictures engraved. Mr. Ball was a statiouer, who had sold photographic copies of these en gravings, and the present action was to remover damages for this act. The trial took place before Mr. Justice Willie, when the verdict was for the plaintiff, damaged 10L, subject to the opinion of the court. Subsequently a rule was ob tained to enter a nonsuit, and to-day muse was shown against this rule being made absolute. The Lord Chief Justice, in giving judgment, said the question ranged in this cue was whether • photographic copy of an engraving was an infringement of the right given to engravers by the statutes of Geo. IL and Geo. IIL, and in his opinion it was. The code of statutes which pro tooted the rights of engravers began with the Bth Geo. IL, and the preamble to that statute recited that the evil to be remedied was persons making base copies of ialuble engravings and thereby de grading the esteem in which, perhaps, an eminent engraver was held. That was the evil recited in the pre amble, but the preamble did not control the words of the statute ; and the enacting words were a prohibition of copying soy engraving which the author of the engraving had invented for himself. It appeared to him that that , statute in the enacting part went much beyond the evil of lowering the esteem in which the author was held by pub- lishing a spurious article. Engravings were mostly made for money reward, and the enactment seemed to him to give protection to the money value of the production of a man's mind. Then name the 17th George 111., which gave the same sort of protection to engravers which had been previously widened upon painters and persons who in vented pictures. It was provided by the statute of George IL, that any persoa who should engrave, mint, or patina; or import for sale any copy should be taken to have infringed the statute ; and then came the 17th Geo. 111. the statute upon which this action was founded. Th at statute was for the more effectually 'war. int the property of inventors and engravers, and recited— " Whereas the said act (that of Geo. IL) has not effectually answered the purposes for which it was intended, and it is necessary for the encouragement of art and for souring to them property in their own works and for &demurest:it of the aforesaid art that further provision should be made ;" and it continued—" Therefore be it enacted that if any en graver or other penal shall engrave or work to mazzotinto or chiaro mum, or in any other manner copy in the whole or in part by varying, adding to, or diminishing from the main design without consent, be shall be liable to dumps.. It seemed to him that this statute coeceincd extremely wide words for the protection of the property of a plaintiff. The question was whether • photographer, taking • copy of a print, did not in • manner copy that print. The very form of putting the question furnished the answer ; and the common language describing what had been done was that the person bad made • photogrephic copy. In construing the former statute be had said that its obMet was to protect the commercial value of the property. That tau the _principle of both statutes ; and a photographic copy might be of exactly the same size as the engraving, it might represent to the mind exactly the same ideas, and he could see no reason whatever why the wide and general words in the statute should not be construed in their fail mauling, and applied to any of the modes of copying which the inge nuity of man and the advance of science bad from time to time brought forward. It wee true that the copies ie qques tion were small, but it seemed to him that the statute did sot apply itself specially to the extent of paper covered by the copy, but to the fact of transferring to the paper the same imaginative idea as the thing copied conveyed. In the "Horse Fair" the idea conveyed was the highest enjoy ment of animal life by those animals which were brought out for the fair, and whether thatpicture were re-produced in its original size, or in • diminutive form, • precisely anathema pleasure was derived from the contemplation, although of course the more perfect article would give a higher pleasure.—Rule discharged. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. May 2. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) HARDLNG V. HARDING AND LANCI. The Queen'. Advocate and Dr. Spinke for the petitioner ; Dr. Wambey and Mr. Day for the respondent.

The case was proceeding when the court rose. THE POLICE COURTS. BOW-STREET.

Coofidenoe, which bad improved sines the government of the United States declared its dogmatisation not to admit of foreign mediation in the war, wee con siderably shaken in the early part of this week by the tone in which certain rumours current of international law were discussed both parliament and the prem. Under the influence of these the prime of yarn gave way, in some cases id. to W. per lb., and cloths were also easier to buy. The worst feature of the market, how ' ever, was, that during the first half of the week there were seared y any buyers ; the alarm was certainly genuine, whether well-grounded or not. Since Thursday there has I been • gradual improvement in feeling amongst commercial men, and there is more disposition to do business. Price are consequently firmer, if they have not quite recovered the firmness of last week. Yesterday and again this morning many of the sellers of yarn and cloth are asking extreme rater, and • good deal of busi ness has been done in descriptions suited to the markets of India. There has also been some business in yarn for the Mediterranean markets. Long cloths and T cloths, except • few very light makes for the eastern markets, are not much inquired for. There has been some busieens In printing cloths, but it has been mostly confined to light de scriptions. This market is unquestionably in • better position than it was, u shown by the quantity of cotton taking for consumption, which after falling in January to lees than 18,000, and in February to 14,C00 bales, has risen in April to an average of 27,425 per week. The mle of prices ham also improved since the beginning of last month as much as Id. to lid. per piece on mulls and madapollams, 3d. to 6d. cm 5 to 71b. shirting', and 6d. to 9d. on 45 to 54. inch and brocade skirtings. This is due to the large brat ness done for India, which has in • great measure emptied' our warehouses of the immense stocks acteunulated in them up to the great rise of prior in August last, mid which till recently Singe then had remained almost undisturbed. For 7.Btbe sod 9.Bths printers, long clothe, and T cloths, in fact for any goods for other than the eastern markets, prices have scarcely changed during the month. In some use they are held a little firmer. Domestics are quoted 1-16 d. to id. per yard dearer. WOOLLEN CLOTH.—Lear, Mar 2.—The market.- Ili, morning were very indifferently attended, end pre seated no new (eaters of importance.

The home trade continues steady, sad ia, upon the whole, in a healthy state ; the factors' travellers who hike the Scotch journeys have, of late, been Reading home rather larger orders ; with Ireland bushier is dull. In none of the leading branches has there been much change of late ; the gon-trade is quiet, and the tinplate workers re port much to the same effeet, but so far the men have bees working full time. Such of the artisans as work away from the manufactories are well employed, which ia a very fair teat that in the coodition of the trade of the town generally there is not much that is unsatisfactory. The papier machi trade has shown symptom. of more animation of late. Messrs. Jemmies and Co. have just completed • large number of decorative objects, chiefly furniture, foe the Ni/Alll of Hyderabad. The foreign trade continue quiet ; there is • little more doing to the East Indies, and Australian orders have recently been put in hand ; in the South American trade some slight improvement is reported. The iron trade in this distnct is dull ; there are few makers who are able to get the trade prim for bare, which in some instances are selling as low so 6!. IC% per ton.
