TUN LONLON CI)UN IMCIIANOI COMPANY. ---- - The London C.irn Exchange was erected in the yuir 1826 by the Locidin Corn Exchange Company, under powers given to them by an act of parliament, on • site on which, prior to that date, 10 houses had stood. From that date until the year 1837 • certain sum was paid annually as tithe to the r' ctor. In that year the plaintiff became the rector of the parish in which the Corn Exchange was elm ated, and the seine sum was from that date paid' to him until recently, when 'be plaintiff contending that his tithe ought to be paid in respect of the rent received upon the lettina of the stalls in the Exchange, tied his bill, seeking • declaration by the court of his right accordingly. The case was heard before the Lord Justice Knight Bruce IP ben Vice-Chancellor, when his Hosour thought that the plaintiff was precluded from raising the question by his course of proceeding, and dis missed the bill. The plaintiff then appealed to the Lord Chancellor, and his lordship thought that the plaintiff was not precluded from raising the question, and it was referred to the Master to ascertain what was due from the com pany in respect of the tithes. The Master by his report found that the income of the company from the rents of the Corn Exchange wu between 2,4002 and 3,0002 per annum, and be fount that the company was bound to pay tithe in respect of the net rent. Mr. Bacon and Mr. Humphry now appeared in support of exc,ptions to the Master's report on the ground that although the Master had deducted from the gross rent the rates and taxes, and an estimete in respect of the repairs of the building he had not deducted from the gross rent vari ous expenses to which the company were put, such es the costs of insurance against fire, expenses of newspapers and other expenses of that kind. Another question raised was whether the open area in the centre of the Exchange was liable to tithe. The rector's right to tithe existed under' de cree of the council, which was embodied in 37 Hear, VIII., c. 12, which provided that the citizens and inhabitants of London and the liberties of the same at the time being shall yearly without fraud for ever pay their tithes to the parsons, vicars, and curates of the said city and their succinct'', for the time being after the rate hereafter following, viz., "for every 101. rent by the year, of all and every house arid houses, shops, warehouses, cellars, stables, and every of them within the said city and liberties, Is. 41. And of every 201. rent by the year, of all and every such house and houses, shops, warehouses, cellar", stable*. and every of them within the said city and liberties, 2s. Bd., end so on above the rent of '2Ol. by the year, according to the rate aforesaid." It was clear that this aet never contemplated that the tithe should be payable on ,the _profits of the bushing carried on in the house or premises, but that it should haltered merely on the buildinn and nets. . Mr. Daniel aad Mr. Speed, for the rector, were not called On. — The Vies Chancellor said, the only difficulty with him was to see grounds for the application. The Master had a difficult task to perform, and it was said that he made an error in respect of the property in the whole of the area which constituted what was called the London Corn Ex change Company, and that be ought to have conciuded it prior to the calculation of the annual tithe. For hie part he thought the Master would have miscarried, considering the terms of the decree, which in plain terms declared that the Leaden Corn Exchange Company was subject to the tithe. The Loudon Corn Exchange Company consisted of the whole of the area which was lighted by a light ; and the value, in his view, must be included as to the receipts by the owners, after proper deductions of the outgoings. He thought the Master had acted on this principle. Then it was mid that the Master ought to have allowed what was paid to the managing directors, as a part of the out goings ; but the view taken by the Muter was right. There might be some doubt as the minute calculations made by the Master, but he could not satisfy himself that he was wrong ; he should therefore disallow the exceptions with Natl. BAIL COURT.-YE3TERDAY. AT SII PILICII.-11110111 312. nryncs lIILS NIVOHU AND ANOTHER D. LUMLIY AND M•JUTY'S TILATII.-IIICTMIXT. Mr. Bramwell and Mr. Unthank appeared for the plain tiff; Mr. Hoggins, Mr. Lush, Mr. Wise, and Mr. Raymond for the defendant. Mr. Bramwell, in stating the use for the plaintiff, said that this II al an action of ejectment to recover ion of the Italian Opera Home, In the Haymarket. he plaintiffs were Mr. Hughes, an attorney residing at Worcester, Messrs. Lyons and Barnet, attorneys, and a Mr. Storer, a gentleman of fortune. Mr. Lumley, the defendant, was well known as the teem and manager of the Italian Opera House. The other defendant war a lir. Fish, a person under the control of Mr. Lumley. It Appeared that each of the plaintiffs had severally recovered judgments against Mr. Lumley, and they had all issued writs of extent against his property. They had also all joined in bringing this action. As far as he could see, the only question in this ease would be which of the plaintiffs would be entitled to succeed. Hughes had beta the first to register his judgment for 1,1431. 10s., as the 10th of August, 1862, in the Court of Common nod in Middlesex ott the 11th of May, 1852. One of the other plaintiffs, Mr. Storer, registered hie judgment fen 2,5691. in the Cunt of Common Pleas, on the 22d Judy, 1862. and in Middlesex on the 4th of January, 1853, sad another judgment for 22,4821. was registered in the Common Plea on the 18th December, 1862, and in Middlesex on the 20th Deeember, 1862, by Mean. Lyons and Buses. The writs were delivered to the sheriff, who did not extents them until the 26th January, 1853, ea which day they were all put into execution without notice to Lumley, according to the priority in which they had been delivered. The in quisition, were taken in the same form, and stating that when Hughes' writ was issued there were no other writs in the *See. fir. ilOggias, for the defendant, submitted that Mr. Hughes was not entitled to recover in this action. The first gameticn was whether the three plaintiffs, or which of them, would be entitled to recover, and that would depend upon the sunning to be put upon the statute of let & 2nd Vie toris, c. 110. Hughes' case stood In this form : his judg ment was registered on the 10th of August and Storsr's on the 22nd July; and by the 11th section of the statute, the sheriff wee empowered to deliver exeestion to a judgment creditor, but the section, after reciting that the law was de fective in not providing sufficient means for a judgment ' creditor to obtain satisfaction for his judgment, enacted that the sheriff should deliver execution to the person seised at the time of entering up the judgment. On looking at this, it would appear that Storer s judgment was anterior to that of Hughes'. The 10th section pros ided that no judgment, by virtue of this act, should a ff ect any lands unless a memorandum of minutes should be left with the Muter of the Common Pleas. It was pro vided by the 14th section that a judgment should operate as a charge upon real estates, to., to which the party should be entitled, and then it gave a remedy in a Court of Equity. Thus it would appear Sturar's jadgment must have priority, and in that cue it would be the duty of the sheriff to have executed storer's writ before Hughes'. The sheriff had not delivered possession to Lyon and Barnes, in consequence of Hughes and Storer having a previou possession. Mr Justice Brie said that the construction of the statute mast he left to the court above. Mr. Hoggine would then submit his defences with regard to Hughes alone. It was enacted by the statute of Anne, a. 16, see. 1, that no person should take directly or indirectly for the loan of money more than b per cent. per annum, and all loans, &e., securing more should be void. The de fendant did not seek to set aside t: i i i i i idgment on the ground of usury, however frightful it ht have been, but he said the law did impose this restraint upon him, that he should not obtain a priority over other persons. Mr. Justice Me said that it bad been decided that this only applied to a loan upon land. Mr. Hoggins submitted that this was a judgment upon a warrant of attorney, dated the 25th of June, 1852. The advance was 1,0001., with a defeseanee for the payment of 1,1401., the whole of which was to be repaid within two months. The learned counsel then called J. P. Hughes, who said that the sum he advanced was advanced upon an agreement and bills of exchange. He ad vaned 1,0001., and was to have 1,1401., payable weekly within two months. That would be more than 5 per cent. per anima. That was including expenses of the prepara tion of papers and jimmies. There was an agreement, signed by Mr. Lumley and Dr. Barker, and subsequently one with Mr. Oye, under which he (Hughes) rrceived from Mr. Oye 5,000/. for his interest in the theatre and for a lease. He had to pay the rent and insurance. He con. sidered the 5,0001. as applicable to the payments be had to make in respect of the theatre. Mr. Oye had demanded the repayment of the 5,0001., because he could not give him possession. He knew that Mr. Oye did not enter into the agreement with him in order that the theatre might be closed. Mr. Margins then submitted that Mr. Hughes' evidence clearly proved that be had been paid out of the 5,0001. he had reesived from Mr. Oye. A groat deal of discussion having taken place, it was eventually agreed that a verdict should be taken for the plaintiff Hughes, with leave to the defendants to set aside or alter the verdict. CONSISTORY COURT.-YESTERDAL DMZ, Oa. LtiIIISOTO.. CIOCCI W. CIOCCI. The arguments in this cue wen rimmed this morning.

BuSlosidellbillaiSSONlMl and third letters of Mrs. Ciocci should be looked at as well ss her first replies, and from these it would appear that on the very day of her marriage, when they came to London. 1 this min sb-rated himself from her, and ttid not return until late in the evening. She lived in the greatest dread of his institution this suit for the restoration of conjugal right*, which it was made a merit that he did nut bring, and Mrs. CiOeti had evaded the danger by concealing the place of her abode. With respect to the letter writt-n by Ciocei, from which the court was to infer that he was • man of the character which be had been pleased to describe, this was plainly written to form a part of the evidence which Cioeci bad manufactured fur himself. Copies of all these letters bad been kept, and it could not be doubted that Ciocci had been endeavouring, in the letter he bad himself written, to forestal the time when the veil of hypocrisy would be removed front him, and he would be seen in all his naked deformity. Dr. Phillimore proceeded to combat the objections which had been raised to the evidence produced ou the part of Mrs. Ciocci, and contended that the fact which coloured the whole of the transaction from beginning to end was that the character which Ciocci had set up for himself was one of grow hypocrisy, fur the evidence of the medical gentle. man proved that he was far from being the saint be pre tended to be. Having gone •hrough the whole of the most material evidence, and urged with much emphasis that the facts which had been disclosed abundantly proved the guilt of Mr. Cioce, the learned doctor concluded by saying st had been contended that this was • suit which ought not to have been brought; but it appeared to him that no person who examined the evidence, who lifted the veil with which it had been sought to shroud these transactions, who looked carefully and minutely into the facts—into the many undersigned coinci dences which had been proved on the one aide, and con trasted all the circumstances with the grossly imprtirable story which had been brought forward on the other—no candid and intelligent person, be said, who gave due con sideration to this ease would fail to come to a very different conclusion, and to be of opinion, not that the suit was one which ought u to have been brought, but that it ought never to have boon defended. Dr. Deane followed on the same side,and the judgment of the court was reserved. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—YzeTzaDaT. /WM I. NNOINSIONIN ITAJI. IN HR POLLARD. This was the last examination meeting in the cue of Charles Pollard, of the Old Bell Tavern, Wellington North, Strand. The accounts extended over two years prior to the failure in September last, commencing with a capital of 5001. The amount due to creditors is 2,6121.; property estimated at 1,6171. The profits had been 2,0631.; expeasts, 2,9021. Mr. Taylor, for the air ignite, complained that the ac. counts were unsatisfactory, and asked for an adjournment, in order that they might be amended. The bankrupt was examined as to the removal of goods from his premiaes, and stated that the only removal bad been to Chobbani, during the encampment. The examination meeting was adjourned for 7 weeks. (anon re. comnewowea DOLOOTII. IN AZ CHAMIENN AND CRANIUMS. There was an audit meeting in thu old bankruptcy, owing to • large sum having come to the estate through the result of a chancery suit. The bankrupts, Abraham Henry Chambers the elder, and Abraham Henry Chamben the youngen, were bankers, in Old Bend-street. The bank ruptcy occurred in 1824, when the amount of liabilities of the firm was found to be two hundred and twenty-four thousand pounds. Dividends amounting to lia. 4d. in the pound have been already paid, and on the separate estate of A. H. Chambers, jun., 20s. in the pound. The official assignee (Mr. Groom) has recently received from the accountant-general of the Court of Chancery the sum of 34,7711., being the amount of principal, interest, and cats (after deducting income-tax) in the suits of " Chambers v. Waters." and Waters e. Taylor." After deducting ex penses, an amount 34,6631. remains applicable to dividend ; and this, it is estimated, will yield a dividend of 2s. 6d. on the joint estate. The dividend meeting takes place in about a fortnight. IX 111 CATTLI MARINT.

Petrie Ageism, 44, was indicted for hawing fraudulently obtained from Elisabeth Rumen 51. and other moneys, and from Eltaabath Brown be., with intent to de• fraud. The prisoner was a Dutchman, and on the loth of October he went to Elisabeth Russell, at No. 11, Gun-lane, Lime house, and told her that he had come from Rotterdam in the Henrietta, which was lying in the East India docks ; that he had left that vessel the day before, and wanted board and lodging at her house. He further said that the ship was going to be paid off the next day, when he should receive pay to the amount of 11. be. On the filth of the repreeentatioas, Mn. Russell not only lodged him for three days, but provided him with board, end lent him nand RUM of momey, amounting altogether to the sum of 2s. ed. The last lam he obtained rem U. he., which he said he should require to bring his chest to the house, and subsequently a chest which he brought was found to contain nothing but dirty ad rags. The day on which, as he said, the sh.p was to be paid off, he went out after breakfast, and did not return. Early in the present swath he was given into custody on a precisely similar charge of fraud (for all his repreeentatioas were utterly false), and when confronted with Mrs. Russell, he at first denied all pre vious knowledge of her, but at lon* said he would get • ship and work and pay her NA Qp sawn whom he had defrauded.

This praseanhor was a tailor in Remington-street, end between Mild sod slag o'clock on the evening of the 6th of thiamin*, es be was going up from the kitchen of his house to the skip, the prisoner Hill sprang upon him from the paring, knocked the candle out of his hand, threw him down ad_ jumped on his chest, taking an op portunity while se Sobs to match his watch from his pocket. He called out for assistance, and one of his cbil,iren opened the street door to fetch in • neighbour, when the prisoner, Maynard, naked in and asked what he was making such • row about. A neighbour entered at the same time, and went to the eaststaace of the prosecutor, who was struggling with Hill, and seeing this, Maynard went up to him and sated what he meant by interfering, telling him that, even was it • twelvemonth to come, he w...uld wait upon him for it. Finding that the person to whom this threat was made was not deterred by it from rendering the prosecutor all the aid he could, Maynard made off, and was not apprehended until Hill was plated before a magistrate, and Maynard was recognised at the court. The goods in the shop were tumbled about, and some of them, including two costa, were packed up ready for removal. The entrance had been effected by Hill from the back part of the premises, his shoes haring been takes off his feet to prevent noise, and the suggestion was that Maynard was aiding and abetting as an mcompliee, and was wasting outside ready to carry off the plunder. Title, however, wee indignantly repudiated by Hill, who ~clued that Maynard was an entire and total stranger to him. Mr. Horry, for the defence, laid much stress upon this amnion, and urged that there was not in the evidence anything to prove it untrue. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty. It was shown that both prisoners had been convicted be fore, and The Assistant Judge sentenced them each to six years' pawl servitude. Elisabeth Mason, 20, Elisabeth Smith, 18, and Alice Davis, 20, wen indicted for having stolen five gold rings and two brooches, the property of John Thomas Blackmer*. Mr. Salentine appeared for Smith and Mason. It appeared that the prosecutor kept a fancy depository in the neighbourhood of the Commercial-road, and on the 25th ult. the three prisoners went into the shop under pre tence of purchasing some article of trifling value, and they purloined the property mentioned in the indictment from a tray of such artkdos which was shown to them. Imme diately after they were goes the theft was discovered by the prosecutor's wife, and information having been given to the polio', the prisoners were within a short time in custody. They appeared highly in.lignant when they heard the charge, and Kama and Smith, palling money from their pockets, said, " There, is it likely that we should go and commit a robbery of such things while we have all that money ?" None of the property hod been recovered. Daring the examination of the prosecutor's wife, a woman who appeared to be very nervous, Mr. Ballantine repeated her answers to questions pat by him, to the jury. The Assistant Judge stopped the learned counsel, sad said he had not beard the witness give aa answer which he had just repeated, to which Mr. Salentine replied, by stating that ha was sure the jury . heard it, and that he did not think he was doing anyth ing bet his duty is repeater the answers. A short conversation took place, from which it ' appeared that the jury did not b ear the reply given by the witness, but ens of the officers of the court did hear it, and of course corroborated Nit. Salentine. During the exami nation of the police constable in the case, a statement was made, which did not appear on the face of the depositions. The constable was nose -examined by Mr. Ballantine upon this, and he said, in answer to the court, that he had not made the statement when he was before the magistrate, because he was not asked any question respecting that to which it related. Mr. Ballantine, in his address to the jury, said, although L he was wrong in saying that they had heard as well as himself the an.wer which he had repeated to them, it wu quits des that it had been given, tor the °eer of the mart hoard it, though the jury and the learned judge did sot, and ha had not meant anything disrespectful in saying that the jury had heard it. It was necessary, he thought, that he should repeat it, and it was to be regretted that the construction of the court was such that ranch of what a winces said did not reach the bench, and if ever in repeat ing an answer he wea unfortunate enough to be incorreet, be should be Llad_to be coneeted by the jvAp. With ra te that *'lie nwee sot is the depoddose, bat sow herwool, listened apes the Jury to climbs it trop their minds. After his cross-eaanainatica of the policeman, the judge asked, in a way which he (Mr. &Destine) well undenund, lumina practised in that court a lung time, et to a manner to produce • certain effect, tt You were not asked that before the magistrate." lie understood why that was asked, and he must way that although msnnerism might be escuse.l on the nart of a concise' it could not sn the pert of the beech. The leaned gentleman then pro ceeded to comment on the case. The Assistant Judge before ramming up said he wished to nuke a few obeersations on the remarks of the learned counsel He said there was to be mannerism in the counsel but not in the judge. Mr. HaUsittine.—Not that there is to be, bat that it is ezeusable in a counsel. Tue Assistant Judge.—Unfortunately there was a species of mannerism which was sometimes indulged in, and which, though it contained no wit, had the appearance of a great deal of malice ; and it seemed to him that, if Mr. Ballantine would correct his mannerism, it would be of great advantage to him. When a counsel explained that he did not wish to insult a jury, but in a way which had something like the appearance of an insult to the judge, that was a mannerism which might u well be corrected. When a judge said he had not heard a witness give a parti- eular answer, and the counsel, with a supercilious air to the jury, raid, " Oh, well, the jury did," when it turned out they did not, there was a mannerism about that which might well be dispensed with. There was no man at the bar for whom he had a greater respect than Mr. Ballan tine, or one who practised mere honourably in hie putts lion; and this induced him the more to hope that this mannerism of his might be corrected. The learned coun sel, he observed, had just left the court ; and, as he was not in the habit of attacking persons in their absence, he should say no more on the subject. He then placed the case before the jury. All the prisoners were found Guilty. it appeared that they formed part of a regular gang of thieves. Mason had been sentenced at the Old Bailey to 12 months' hard labour, in addition to three summary con victions; Davis, too, had been sentenced to 12 months' hard labour; and Smith had been convicted twice. The Assistant Judge said the prisoner., Wwas clear, bad been associated with a gang, who, with their aid, carried on • regular wholesale system of plunder on the public. It was the duty of the court in such • cue to award • severe punishment, and the sentence on Macon and Davis there fore was that they each be kept in penal servitude for four years, and upon Smith that she be kept to bud labour for one year. The Lord Mayor said that there could be no doubt of the prisoner's object, and he should sentence him to one month's Imprisonment, two others haring been similarly sentenced for a like offence. GUILDHALL. John rochrane, Janus Armstrong, and Andrew Coch rane, were charged with crating a disturbance in a betting. °Mee. _ _ _ Mr. Palmer, who described hiwaelf as an independent man, said he kept a betting-061m at 36, Farringdon-street, and the prisoners came in with others and created a great disturbance. __ Alderman Humpbery—Had they been paying you any money ? , . . CoMplainant—No, sir—not a farthing. Alderman Humphery—But might they not have bought tickets of other parties that would have entitled them to some claim upon you ? Complainant—That is possible. Jobe Cochrane—l presented a ticket, your worship, that I bought for 305., and the complainant immediately tore it up and said when the person who sold me the ticket paid him what he owed him, he would pay the amount of the ticket. Alderman Humphrey—Well, Mr. Palmer, is that true ? Complainant—Yes, sir, it is—l did tear up the ticket. Aldcrmau Humpher . y—Then why did you not tell us the whole truth at once. It seems now that these men had a right to be in your office. Complainant—But they bad no Maim upon me. Alderman Humphrey—l know they have no legal claim, nor can any one from the manner is which betting offieca are conducted. It's a very fortunate thine for you that the new act for the suppression of batting-houses is not yet in force, or 1 should most assuredly have sent you to Bridewell for three months. John Cochrane—How am I to get my money back, sir? I have paid 11. on this ticket? . Alderman licimphery—You must go to the County Court. Complainant—Am 1 to be subject to this annoyance again ? Alderman liumphery—lt is very plain th►t you have had these men's mosey, and it's hard fur them to Do robbed of it. Complainant—But we ought to have protection. Alderman Iluinphery—You don't deserve protection, for you take the 'none/ of thise people. and in many instances men and boss are induced to rob their employers to enable them to go to these betting houses, the consequence of which is that many are utterly ruinel and the comfort of thousands of families for ever destroyed. Complainant—The holder of the ticket only sold it fer the purpose of annoying me, aid if I am not protected these men will mo►est me again. Alderman Hompbery—And serve you right, you should pay these men their money. The defendants were then discharged. BON-STREET. Thomas Brooks wu charged before Mr. Jardine with having attempted (in conjunction with a man not in cus tody) to break into the house of Mr. Harper, jeweller, 30, Upper King-street, Bloomsbury-square. The prosecutor deposed that he wee disturbed in his deep at five in the morning by a rattling noise at his shut ters, and on going down stairs to the private door of the house he saw two men run away in the direction of Blooms bury-place. He called "stop thief" and saw one of the men throw something upon the pavement, which sounded like iron implements. A policeman took up the chase.and captured one of the men (prisoner), and afterwards another °faker picked up a crow-bar, chisel, some wedges, and other articles of the kind used generally in house breaking. It appeared that one of the shutters bad been treed out of its place several inches. The prisoner, who was known to the police, wu com mitted for trial. _ WORSHIP-STREET. Mr. Vann, the solicitor, accompanied by several master boot and shoe manufacturers in the neighbourhood of Shoreditch and Houton, applied for summonses against certain persons who were alleged to be connected with a re cent strike for en advanse of wages, for haring entered into an unlawful conspiracy for the purpose of injuring them in their business. _ Mr. Vann stated that a bandhill bed been circulated which bore the signatures of John Connelly, chairman, and William Marlow, secretary to the committee of the turn outs, and which after a brief statement of the matters in dispute, proceeded as follows:—" We therefore earnestly request the public to support us by not dealing with those shops who refuse to pap such a trifling advance to their workpeople, at the same time charging the public so much more than those shops that pay the full wages; and the journeymen shoemakers are also earnestly requested to oo operate with us, by not working for the undermentioned shops." Then followed in large capitals the names and addresses of all the masters who had refused to submit to the demands of the workmen. Not satisfied with this the committee had employed several men to stand before the doors of their late muters in order to dissuade the public from entering their shops to make purchases, and some of the men who were satisfied with the existing rate of wages and continued in their employment, had been subjected to such gross maltreatment and insinsidation, that they had returned their work in an unfinished state, and had declined to execute it. Under these circumetaaees be was instructed to apply for summonses against Connelly end Marlow. Mr. D'ltyncourt—Are you in a condition to prove that the persons complained of took any part in the circulation of the offonsive placards, or were stall privy to their pub lication ? Mr. Vann—l have been auured by Mr. Richmond, the printer of the bills, who appears to have acted in entire ignorance of the law, that he received direct instructions for their publication from the man Connelly, and it will also be shown on a future occasion that Marlow, the secre tary, was equally implicated in the transaction. Mr. D'Eyocourt said that it wee a cue of great public importance, and be had no hesitation in directing a sum mons to be issued against the parties. SOUTH WARK. Alfred Glemster, a cal~drlver, was brought before Mr. Cumbe, charged with cruelly working a horse in an unfit state. Police sergeant 11 L said be was on duty near the stage entrance of the Surrey Theatre, when be saw defendant with a horse and cab. Perceiving that the animal was very weak he examined it, and found sores under the collar end on the legs. It was In suill a tottering condition that it could hardly stand, consequently he took the horse and cab to t h e Green-yard, and the prisoner to the station house. The owner of the horse and vehicle laid the animal bad an accident in the stable • short time ago, and that it was only out last night fur • little exercise. Re would, how eve!, consent to have it killed. Mr. Combs aeoordinglp discharged the prisoner on that condition. Philip Grinney, who hu gee; for nearly three weeks in custody for a desperate attempt, while in a paroxysm of jealousy, to murder his wife by cutting her throat, was again remanded._ James Hickman, the driver of cab 3,319, and the owner of badge 8,260, appeared to answer a summons for charging more than his legal fare. Mr. William Hall, • gentleman residing at No. 13, the Oval, Kennington, deposed that on Saturday last the de fendant drove him and another person to the Blaekfriars road, a distance much within two miler, and witness gave him a shilling, together with a gratuity of fourpence, se the night was rather damp. The defendant, however, de mended is. 6d. as his legal fate, on the ground that three persons had ridden in his cab. Defendant—Well, sir, that is tree. The servant who called me off the rank rode home in my cab. Mr. Elliott said that if three persons had ridden at one time he would have been *raided to the extra sixpence. As it was, he was tined 10s. and cats, or seven days' imprison ment. The money was paid. HAMMERSMITH. James Langton, aged 39 years, a labourer, living in Hensel' New Town, wu charged with having umulted his wife. The woman wu unable to attend in consequence of the injuries she had received. The prisoner's son, a youth about 16 years of age, stated that his father came home about 12 o'clock, and ke believed be was sober. He thought his mother was not sober. The coffee was not ready, ant his father told his mother to get it for him. She told him that he might get it himself ; upon which his father abused her, and after striking her with his fist two or three time,, he caught up the hair broom and heat her with it. She went to the door and called '• Police," and he then hit her again. She again called out " Police," and fell down, and hie father took her up and carried her to the bed. He then got into his (witness's) bed, and the police came and took his father into custody. Mr. Beadon remanded the prisoner. THE GRAND JrAT 411111111! The foreman of the grand jery, in delivering the last bill submitted to them, addressed the court, and impressed their opinion that the grand jury was a tribunal elan useless character and might be dispensed with, and that the ma gistrates by whom cues were investigated only sent proper cues for trial. The Assistant Judge concurred with pleasure in this opinion, which was founded in truth and reason. The police magistrates were gentlemen upon whom there was a great responsibility, and many of them bad been a great number of years in the pertormance of their duties, and they always took care, before committing. eau fur trial, to have sufficient to justify then in doing so. The grand jury was imperfect in many respects, and he would mention an instance which occurred at that court not long ago. A bill had been thrown out because the property was not iden tified by the prosecutor, who, half an hour afterwerds, ap plied to have it restored to him. When asked why he de ' mended, the articles after he had refused to identify them before the grand jury, he said—" Well, I swore to them distinctly at the police court." That showed the use which was made of a grand jury when it suited the purposes of parties concerned in prosecutions, without the grand jury having any check upon them. Two bills had been intro duced in the House of Commons to abolish grand juries, but the measure had not been passed because it had been encumbered with other propositions which gave rise to much objection on the part of many, himself among the number. If the government would bring in a bill merely to abolish grand juries in the metropolitan districts, he be lieved it would peas at once, and be trusted this would be done in the ensuing session. Mr.Withem sat in the Second Court, and tried a number of cases of larceny of no interest. THB POLICE COURTS. —As-- MANSION-HOUSE. Robert Prescott, an intelligent lad, aged sixteen years, waa brought before the Lord Mayor upon the following maim charge. Miss Louisa Weston said—l keep • chophouse at No. 11, Finehdane, which goes by the name of " Louisa's chop house." I do not know the prisoner, and never to my knowledge saw him before last night, when he was in the Mallets-boom. I received the letter I now produce y•ster day morning, at half ' -pats eleven o'clock, and communicated its ciontents to some friends, by whose advice I applied to the police, and an arrangement wee made to send a parcel to the address mentioned in the letter. I addressed the parcel myself. This is the parcel. Bassett (Detective 593)—The letter alluded to having been placed in my hands, I went to Mist Weston's residence about 4 o'clock, and arranged that the parcel should be sent to the coffee-house named in the letter. It was delivered by • boy, whom Bduionds, another °Meer, and I followed to the coffee-house at Storm's-end, in the Borough, to which it was directed. I spoke to the land lord upon the subject, and waited till within a quarter to 6 o'clock. The prisoner came in at that time, and said he called Lr a parcel which was directed to a person named Jackson. The parcel wee at once given to the prisoner by the landlord, who referred him to me, saying you must speak to that gentleman before you go. The prisoner turned towards the door, as if he wished to escape, bat I brought him back. There was another lad waiting outside, who, he said, was hie companion, and for whom the parcel was. I said you had better step inside and write me out a receipt for it. He accordingly wrote " Received from Mr. Bas sett a parcel left at the Criterion Coffee-house, Robert Whildtmith." At the same time I suggested to the other lad that he had better sign the receipt else, and the prisoner having whispered to him not to sign in his own name, but to sign " George Banks," he did so. I then said to the prisoner, " Where are you going to take that parcel to ?" "Oh," said he, "to Ken- Magian." I then said, "We are two police Morn and charge you with endeavoturing to extort mon ey of Miss Weston sending her a threatening letter. " The pri soner said the lad who was with him knew nothing at all about it ; that he, himself, wrote the letter, and seat it by a boy. I prodoesd the letter, and he said he wrote it at home, and nobody was with him at the time. In the even ing I went with the prisoner to Kennington Church to search for a man be spoke of as the person for whom the parcel was intended, but we Law nobody like the man he described, and the policeman on the ,pot said he had seen no one of the description. Here the letter addressed by the prisoner, and delivered to Mira Weston, was read. It was as follows; " Madame—l am truly sorry to trouble you, but lam very much in want of a little money. The fast is, I know your secret, and, unless you wish to be the laughing stock of a parcel of waiters, and a thing to be despised by those who do not sell their virtue, you will send me the sum of 71. 10s. Madame, it may be some satisfaction to you to know, that I have spent more than 100 times the sum I demand of you, in your house ; and I promise that it shall be faithfully repaid in three weeks from this time. But re member, madame, if I do not receive the money this emp ires I premise that you shall rue it before to-morrew's sun sets. You need not fear being again troubled by me, as I shall in • few months set rail for America. You must make a bundle . of it, as though it was clothes, and if the bearer waits give it to him. If this comes per poet, direct to Richard Jackson, Criterion Coffee-house, Stone's-end, Borough, London. If you are so foolish as to try and brave me out, you will very noon see the effect of my tongue on your business. Yours, to command, if you choose, 7Acasow." Edmonds, the detective officer, confirmed the evidence of Bassett ' end added u tollows:—.' The prisoner said the gentlentanhe was to meet at Kennington Church told tim what to write to Etas Weston, and he went home end wrote what was dictated to him." ___ W. Simpson, • genteel youth, clerk to • merchant in Walbrook, said, "The prisoner's mother is housekeeper at our offices, and I occasionally see him there . I have known him abou t months. I know nothing of Miss Weston, and n saw or heard of her before last night at the station-house. Yesterday I was about leaving the office at a quarter past five o'cloc k, when I met him at the door. Be said he was going to Newington Causeway to see a secondhand piano he was about baying, and we walked together. It was the first time we ever walked together. When we got to the Criterion Coffee•house he said, " Wait • little. I want to inquire it a parcel is left for me." When I went inside and was asked to sign my name to the re ceipt, which I did not understand, the prisoner said to me, "Do sot sign your own name, alga George Barnes." I did sign George Barnes, but the moment after, perceiving that I had done what was wrong, 1 told the officers that it was sot my name, and that the prisoner also had signed a WNW name. The Lord Mayor then read the usual words preliminary to committal, and asked the prisoner whether he bad any observations to make ? TM prisswr — l have , my lord. The evidence which has been just read is rather imperfect. The officer never showed me the letter, nor told me the charge on which I was taken ; and I do not doubt if I had been at Kenning ton at half-past 7 is the evening, I would have discovered the man who instigated me to write the letter, but it was half-put 7 when we were passing the Town hall. I met that person several times, and he told me be had lost hundreds in this house, and that it was the means of his ruin; that if he could get a few pounds, he might go to America, where he had a little property, and he begged me to write the letter. His excuse was that he had St. Vitus's dance in his head, so that he could not for any length of time hold a pen. Not once, or twice, or thrice did he prompt me to do this, but he pleaded poverty, dogged my foot steps wh I went, and at last, without intending to gain one farthing by it, I consented. The prisoner was then committed for trial. A labouring man, employed at the alterations now taking pine at the Excise-office, Old Broad-street, was charged with having stolen a quantity of new lead while employed at his work. Carrington, an overlooker of the men, stated that yester day the prisoner was leaving his work, and, as usual with witness, he would insist upon the prisoner, as well as others, being 'ruched before leaving. In his pockets was found a quantity of new lead taken from the roof of the building. He gave the defendant tam custody. TM Lord Mayor salted the primmer for his defame.

The sales have amounted to 4,000 bales—including 500 for export and 500 on specu lation ; and, in addition to Americans, comprised 90 Per mian and Maranhems, bid. to 71d.; 60 Bahia, ; 200 Entities, 61d. to 84. ; and 500 burst, 3d. to 414. per lb. MANCH/MUIR, Nov. 15.—There has helm a steady market as regards prices, the hands of the producers having been slightly strengthened by the advices of the Asia mail steamer from the United States, which confirm the accounts of a killing (root having damaged the cotton in the southern states during the picking semen. Except among German buyen of yarn, and them not g lly, however, it had not much effect in stimulating to business. Some lew descriptions of yarn required for this branch of trade were rather scarce through the turn-outs, and there was an anxiety to complete orders before the weather placed • barrier to shipping, but prices were not affected beyond a Hub) additional steadiness. In cloth there was • languid market, a fair business only being done in light 39-inch ahirtings, of Vbs. to 21bs. weight for India, whilst other descriptions were taken in small quantities. The mills are still closed in I'reston, Wigan, Burnley, Bacup, and Bury. and there is so prospect at present of an arrangement which will lead to the resumption of business there. WOOLLEN CLOTH.—Lasys, Nov. 15.—We have had very considerable improvement in our market to-day; there has been an excellent business done in both the cloth-halls. It is the opinion of most persons attending the market that there has not been more cloth sold en any one day dur ing the last three months. W00L14.-11twrinnerimn, lvov. 16.--As it it now thought that prices of wools will not be lower than at pre. sent for some time, we have more doing, but from the ap.

There has been a better attendance in the Cloth-hall to-day, but as is usual in slack times, the inquiries are fur lsa priCetl classes of goods, and in these, where business is trans acted, a reduction must be submitted to. General business is Bat. CORN.—Heat, Nov. 15.—The import of wheat is chiefly from Russia, the barley from A!exandria, and the beans Anew) from Hamburg and the near ports. The weather has been tine and seasonable during the week, aid very favourable for seed operations, in which considerable progreu has now been made throughout this distrie.. The trade has been quiet, with daily-increasing firmness, and Urge orders at the decline quoted last Tuesday could not be mewed; the bulk of the Russian wheat goes to granary, the present consumptive demand not being on that class ; fresh red has been in good re quest, and quite recovered the decline lately noted. There was a lair supply of farmers' wheat at this day's mar ket, the condition various; beat runs were ready sale at 2.. over the rates current last Tuesday ; foreign of best quality goad to sell at ls. to 2s. advance. Barley of all kinds rather depressed, and Is. to 21. less money taken. Beans Is. to dearer. We note no alteration in either oats or pees. The linseed market quiet, but cakes may be bought on easier terms. We hear of no transactions in Rapeseed, and the high price of cakes makes the sale slow. Bores support our currency. Imports from Nov. 5 to Nov. 11: wheat, 6,370 qrs.; barley, 2,086; beans, 1,566; peas, 371 ; tires, 4; lin seed, 9,569; rapeseed, 2,640 ; oil cakes, 123 tons ; bones, 74. Juane, Nov. 15.—The supply of wheat to day is too small in the agricultural districts to effect any reduction is prices, and our arrivals being so moderate here, we have today experieneed an improved demand, and the decline of last week is fully recovered, and we quote prices 2s. higher than on Friday. Maltsters try to buy barley at a decline, which restric a business, as holders are no: disposed to take below Friday's rates. Beans steady. Oats and other articles as before. Arrivals this week:—Wheat, 2,015 qrs.; oats, 48; barley, 816; beans, 422 ; rapeseed, 607 ; linseed, 596. LIVERPOOL, NOV. 16.—At this day's market there was a good attendance of town and c4untry millers and dealers, and a fair consumptive demand was experienced for wheat, which, however, being met by bol 'ere, the extreme rates current on this day week could not be exceeded. Flour met with a good inquiry, and sweet American, being compara tively scarce, was 6.1. per barrel dearer. Fine oats, with a moderate sale, maintained their value, but inferior were Id. per 46th.. cheaper. Oatmeal, being plentiful, declined Is. to ls. 6d. per load for both old and new. Grinding barley (Irish) must be quoted 3d. to 44. per 60Ibs. cheaper, with • good deal offering. Egyptian beam however, and Indian corn were taken to retail for feeding purposes, at late rates. Arrivals into Liverpool from the Bth to the 14th Nov., in clusive:—Wheat, 25,922 qrs. ; barley, 3,724; malt, 697 ; oats, 3,808 ; bean•, 747 ; peas, 21 ; Indian corn, 6,512 ; In dian corn meal, 81 barrels; oatmeal, 14,593 sacks; it.ur, 175 sacks ; 17,416 harrels. Exports to Ireland :—Wheat, 1,644 qrs. ; beans, 37 ; Indian corn, 91 ; flour, 1,079 sacks ; 825 barrels. LYNN, Nov. 15.—Oar supply of wheat to-day was rather small, and sotd freely at last week's prices. Barley in !sager supply and Is. to 2s. per qr. lower. Wheat, old, red, 59161. to 601 be., 645. to 724.; best new, 601 b.. to 63 1 b5., 73 5 . to 775. ; ditto, 57lbs. to 691b5.,661. to 711. Barley, best runs, 531 b.. to 5411m.,.415. to 42a., extra, 445.; seconds, 621bs. to 53ihs., 395. to 40a. Beans, old, 6.51ba. to 661 b., 68s. to 60s. per qr. to the grower. Oats, new, Is. 2d. to Is. 3d. per stone. • - - NEWCASTLII, Nov. 15 —The weather still continues as fine as can be for seeding' operations, which occupy the attention of our farmers, to the exclusion of other work. Ai our market this morning we had a moderate show of wheat from the country, and baring a fair quantity r &ring from the coast as well as from abroad, the trade ruled exceed ingly firm, but with the exception of choice Scotch white wheat, which sold at an improvement of Is. per qu ail other sorts remain unchanged, and upon the whole, our millers acted upon the reserve. For flour there was a fair inquiry ; still, however, to sell in quantity, 665. cannot be exceeded iu a general way, although here and there 571. is required for approved marks. In rye little stirring. Choice malting barley sustains its value, but the ordinary sorts are most difficult to move. Grinding without change. Malt steadily maintains its value, and the same remark will apply to beans, peas, and oats. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE—Tuesday, Ain,. lb DOWNINO•STREBT, Nov. 15.
