(Before Vioe-Chanoeßor Sir R. T. Kinder'sley.) FUSIN r. lIDRI3ERT.—THE CHANCERY DITCH AT SHEER. NS's.—COVAITTAL Or AN EDITOR. This suit relates to an open ditch at Sheerness. which, in emsequeu.s of the suit, has had bestowed upon it the name of " sue Chancery ditch." The plaintiff is the dark of the Board of Health ; and the defendants are the f3scrstary for War, and one or two gentlemen who are interested in the Lind adjoining the ditch, and claim to be owners of the soil ; the object of the suit being to prevent the covering up of the ditch so as to impede the free flowing of the sewage of the town. The matter has been several times before the court on interlocutory motions for in junction, but the cause has not s t been heard, and in the meanwhile both aides have filed affidavits. The suit, is appears, excites great interest at Sheerness, and discussions have taken pines re specting it at the meetings of the local Board of Health, and comments hare been made neon it is the local newspaper. Mr._ Glasse, with whom was Mr. E. F. Smith, now moved that Thomas Morton ltigg, the proprietor and pub- Lieber of :Le Sternest Guardian and rase rent Adrer tier, be rommitted for contempt of court in having pub lished ccrtsin articles commentiog on certain affidavits made in the cause, such articles being calculated to bring contempt on the pencils who had made the affidavits, and to obstruct the comae of justice. The first public Aim complained of appeared in the Sheerness Guardian of the 21st November. 1863, and was in the nature of a mart of the proceediogs at the Based of Health. (The learned counsel read the report in question, which was rather a &- lemon& of the character of the discussion than a report of what t. As said. the subject of the discussion we the affidavits of some .10 poisons which had been filed by the defendant and the report gave the cbristian and surnames of the penroas who had made the affidavits.) The other article complained of wail the leading article in the Sheerness Guar dian of the:P.:Lb Nov. The Vi:e-Chencellar said, if this had not been an applica tion to coramit a party to prime, he should out have called for soy reply, for be had not the smallest doubt of this being a contempt of court, and a wilful contempt of court. When he said a wilful contempt of court he did not mean a man having at the time a wish or desire to commit a con tempt of court, but lie meant an act done wilfully and with an Intention to do what was wrong. He had not the remotest potion what was the extent of the circulation of the Sheernee , Gdardiar. ai.d East Kent Adtertiser, or what was the extent of the influence it exercised, but he must sesame that, at all erects, it had some circulation, and he presumed that dir. Kin, who was the printer and publisher, would not he willing to admit that the paper had no circu lation or il.dialuce. Having, oa Saturday, the 21st Novem ber, published a report of the proceedings of the Board of Health, giving the names of persons who had made affidavit& in a cause before this court, he, on '-'Bth November, inserted in his paper a leading article which was alleged to be, sod which he thought was. a grow contempt of this court. His Bosour then proceeded to cite various passages of the article, commenting on them as he proceeded. In the outset attention was called to the names. Then the article spoke of the proceedings of one of the defen dants, the defeudant Jenkins being no doubt meant, as being utterly disgraceful, and the persons who had made the affidavits wore described as being his tools, and they were spasm of as being " cheaply sold." The article attributed perjury, although it let them off ou the ground of ignmanca Theo there was a suggestion that a monu ment should be erected, and the names of the affidavit makers it:scribed thereon. This was clearly an intention to hold them up to the contempt and indignation of their fellow townsmen. It was contended that the reticle did not operate to obstruct the course of justice, because at the time it was published the defendants were precluded from making farther affidavits, bat that would not prevent the article being • gross contempt of court. It was true the time had elapsed for the defendants filing affidavit's, but the time had not elapsed for the plaintiffs to file affidavits in reply, and the article might perveit the course of justice, not by influencing the mind of the judge, but by baying an e ff ect on the evideoce be adduced. Aad further, who was to say that at the hearing, or at any other stage of the cause, the court might not require further es i diots. Still farther, the time for cross-examining the 'M ambos had not expired, and who could my what influence an article of this kind might not have cm the witneases. Therefore there win no ground for saviog that this article could not be a contempt of court because it could not have the effect of perverting justice. He had, therefore, not the smallest difficulty in coming to the con clusion that if ever there was a contempt of court, this was that case. The question then arose, in what way that ecia tempt wu to be reek It was always a dieagresthle office to have to commit a man to prison, but it was not because it was a disagreeable office that he was to shrink from it. What he had to consider was, what the parity of the ad ministration of justice ?squired him to do with regard to this respondent, in order to hold hint up as a warning to others not to commit a similar offence. It appeared to him that he had ne alternative but to commit him sad he had the less hesitatioe u doing so by reuses of th e course be had Llama is meeting this motion. Either he had bees unfortunately advised, or big solicitor bad gives him d advice which he had thought fit not to follow. Instead of doing what any rtasonable man would havedone —instead of tiling an affidavit expressing his regret, he had canoed affidavits to be filed to prove the truth of some parts of the article, and to vindicate it, and he had instructed cousuel to argue that the article was no contempt of court, sod that he bad a right to pablish what he did, but that if the court should deride that he had bawd guilty of a col tempt of unit would express his regret. So that his submission amounted to this, that if he was going to be punished he would do everything to escape that punish ment. He should commit Mr. to prism, and then when be was in prioou and would do what was right, he would discharge him at the *oiliest possible moment, though he did not my that the moment he applied he was to be dis charged. He was to be punished by committal, he did not say for how long. and he was to he committed for a coo tempt of court, in publishing the article of the 21st and 28th November. The defendant was in wort, bat no attempt was made to take him into custody immediately after the judgment was delivered. (Before Vice. Chancellor Stuart.) LAVOIGNAT V. MI!

The further hearing of this case wan resumedthis mora le", when the evidence foe the defence closed. Several ad ditional witnesses were examined in the course of the day, who deposed to the facilities that existed at Simoe's Bay for repairing the Harbinger, and that steamers traded Le gere.' that by and Algoa Bay which would have taken her round—the effect of bilge water and coal dust on rivets according to the quality of the iron, and that there would have been no difficulty in stopping the hole when the vessel wee afloat. Mr. &will then replied on the whole of the ease, in the course of which the learned coined referred to the position of two of the jurymen. He congratulated them at having so far arrived towards the ooncluaion of their labours. It was no doubt a painful thing to sit so many days to listen to the reading of each a men of paper, but it must be more painful to one of their body who would perhaps have to decide against a relative, and to another of their nurtber, who, although not a artaer with the plaintiff, was in some degree interested in him ; yet the defendant had the greatest coofidence in their honestly discharging their duty, from the high position they held in the City of London. The learned counsel had not concluded whim the court rose. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. Dec. 19. (Before the Judge Ordisary.) FITZGERALD r. FITZOIRALD.-7CLOSE OF THE TRIAL. Captain Mallet cross-examined—The first time I heard that my wife's name was mixed up in this nafor tunate affair was at the beginein of the present year. I did not employ any attorney myself. I left the matter in the hands of Major Fitzgerald'a lepl ad visers, the idesua Freehand. I have myself seen the witnesses Pearson, Mrs. Hutson and young Henson, who told me his father had been trying; to bribe him. He came to me to make a oufession. I went to old Herson's house to see him. 1 also saw Mrs. Bromand. Neither Me. Mallet nor I have gone about seer witnesses. I went to none but old Benison. My wife disdain to me that she has written letters, but she did cot do so with my know ledge. In Dublin, Major Fitzgerald used to rine and sit in my painting room, and dine with us. My wife and I went into Dublin society. We attended all the festivities at the castle. My wife never went out fora walk or a drive with out me. She could not walk in the street aloes. She orsisionally went out fora chive with other ladies. We could not afford to keep a carriage, and we rarely hired one. I believe she never went out aloes during the whole time we were in Dublin. I was laid up in Dublin for a short time. In June I came over to Loudon to pus an examination, but I left Min Liiroline Guinness with her. I have often paid visits nose. Major Fiagerald used to oome and take me out ; for I never would leave my painting unlade he came. lam alluding to the time before hie marriage. Alter then I rarely went oat in the day time. Mrs. Fitzgerald was not very inti mate with Mrs. Mallet. Mrs. Fitzgerald used to make up to her ; but Mrs. Mallet thought her very vulgar, and rid riot like her. Mrs. Fitzgerald was always paying com pliments to Mrs. Mallet, but she was not always calling on her. When Kelly left me Igm hint a good character. People are often derived in servants. Kelly was employed u a footman. I had quite a large house in Dublin emetic,. My establishment there consisted of Kelly, a cook, and two nursemaid,. Certain depositions of Kelly were placedin my heads. I took him into my service • sewed time, because Major Fitzgerald had written and told me that he was out of place, was very poor, and, in fact, was starving. He was postal man-servant to me in Scarsdale villas. I left that place at the end of 1860. There were blinds to the parlour windows there. The flye letters pro duced are in Mrs. Mallet's handwriting. Hemsou, sea., was • errant of mine. He erne to me when Kelly Int, and stayed till Marsh, 1860. He used to go out with Mrs. Mallet in a hired brougham. She hired a good many broughams to go to the theatre when she had ladies staying with her. Captain Land= used to visit us • good deal. He used to come with his friend, Captain Buchanan, who was paying his addresses to Mir GUiDall•L Re-examined— I went to old Hammon because I had beard that he had been bribed to give evidence agree Mrs. Mallet. I west to ask him if he had anythieg to say against her. We had a conversation, which was written down. I gave Hereon a character as being honest, but he was very bed tempered and quarrelsome. He had knocked the cook down. (Leallaw-) Mrs. Otorgiaa Mallet—My maids. name was Bathurst. I was married to Ur last wirer in the year 1 RE.a, and we lived in Dublin Castle, when my husband bad an official appointment. I remember Major Fitzgetal, ranee to our here with his wife. He had previously bees a gear friend of my husband's. The woman Brufrire sere saw Major Fitzgerald in my house io her life. She therefore err raw him in my bed-room, or kir me. There never was any improper intimacy between Major Fitzgerald and me. The letter of mine which has been put in was money. I bad lent the respondent 251. previosed7. 44 ra written before that. -- 6Malii7x;mined—l knew Major Fitzgerald before his mar riage. There was no coldness between as after thee, bat we did not see him so often as we had dove before. We were in Dublin three years, sad we left it is July, 1866. I bad left Dublin myself in the scrim of 3857, and I bed bees in Foelaad till November. I saw Major Fitsprald twise is the July of that year, once at the theses', and case where I was residing. Major Fitzgerald retursed to Dublin in December, 1857. My husband met him in the street, sad brought him borne with him. There never was any kindness between Mrs. Fitzgerald and me. I am not aware that she ever denied herself to me. Major Fitagezald never gave me a fan ; bat ho has made me a few trifling primate, though neversinc• his marriage, with the exception of a boggiest which he once gave me. I did not use it, because I happened on that occasion to have another. I lent him the 251. in July, 1858, and be has never repaid me. I have never asked him lot the mousy by word of mouth ; but he hes two or three times edootasted apologies to one, and has stated that the 3.116•011 why be did not let go have it was because he was so badly off. On those occasions we were either alone together, or my children were with me. At the time he spoke to me about the loan I told him that it was of no cossognosoo. I have never seen him since Jane, 1860. My elder &Ursa are always with me. The respondent never pee me or sent me a farthing in his life. He never gave we 1001.— certainly not. Never. 1 never maw him in 1861. Ire member distinctly the last time I saw him. Hs was going away into the country. He told os when he was going away to write to him at his club. I cannot moonset how many letters he seat la lie never pee ow a Load or security. I don't know what a bond is. I first Lama in February, 1861; that my letter had been handed to Mn. Fitzgerald. I did not ems Dr. Pettipow about it. I have seen most of the trimmest cis my side, beams they bad been my own servants.. Most of them came to me. When I hoard of this cans I pee their wises to Mr. Freehtield. Most of them came to me to express their sorrow at what had occurred. I have never seen Hanson limos he left our lorries till this morning. Have written to him two or three time.. The letter produced is in my handwriting. My husband desired me to write the first letter I sent to him, in order to sake him come to speak to him before he left home is the morn ing. I knew Kelly. I was shown bin deposit os in Fe bruary last. I sever attempted to get Henan* to alter his statement. Oh dear, so ; bad Bose to give against me. I should not look on anything I did to that light. I had heard that he was going to invest • great deal sipinst me ; bat I did not know that he had actually said anything. He said he would invent nothing spinet me if ray (amity would give him a portership. The letter produced in another which I wrote to him. Major Fitzgerald errs Ave times in my house while Hamm was with us. Hamm would not come to as, and therefore my husband west to him.

He bad written to me stating he would have nothing to do with the cause. The last letter was written after he had seen my husbsud, and be bad stated that he had nothing to say against me. All my letters except the first were answers to Hemeon's. I had seen the depositions when I wrote, "I only yesterday was told the full extent of Kelly's in vention.." Ellen Bell had written to me, telling ins that they had been offering her money. Hannon had written to me, stating that Ellen Bell bad said Greed's was like Capt. Landon and my little girl like Major Fitzgerald. They are like neither—l shall be happy to produce both children. Re-examined—One of my chil dren godmothers had sent me the money which I lent to Major Fi tzg erald. The cheque produced is the one I =shed for him. Major Fitzgerald only pre me two or three bouquets. My eldest child la nearly ten years old. I first wrote to Mention on account of something which I had heard. I had heard that Memnon, who had no means of living, had soddenly become well off. I solemnly declare that every thing that Hemson had said war utterly false from begin ning to end. I bad heard that he and Kelly had been to gether ; that they bad been fixing these dates ; and that they were both in Mrs. FiMgeraid's pay. I had heard that this had been found out by detectives. Minion asserted that Ellen Bell had told him that Muter Greyille was like Captain Laudon. Ellen Bell bad vr,:tten to me to say she had been bribed. [Her letters were produced but not admitted.] Mr. Francis—l was solicitor to Mrs. Fitzgerald. I recol lect the parties taking • place at Braden. I had several interviews with them on that subject. Major Fitzgerald made a communication to me on the subject of his wife's health. The Judge Ordinary suggested that there was sufficient evidence relating to the allegation of cruelty, and the ex amination of the witness was not pursued further. The depositioes of another witness, Adele Godson, who had keen lady's-maid to Mrs. Mallet in Scarsdale-villas, was read. She stated that she only saw Major Fitzgerald call once. He oartainly would not have called three or four times a week. Had seen the Bev. Mr. Bathurst, who was Mrs. Mallet's brother, kiss her. Miss Bathurst—l am sister of Mrs. Mallet. I visited her at Dublin from the 15th of November, 18.57, to the begin ning of the May following. I was constantly with her, and when she went out I was with her. I went • little into society, but my ender was ill • great part of the time. I saw Major Fitzgerald. There was nothing whatever in his attentions to Mrs. Mallet in Dublin that struck me u at all pya•rrtticular. I visited her at Scarsdale-villas. I saw Major Fitzgerald there several times. He usually called on • Sunday, when Mr. Mallet was at home. There was nothing whatever remarkable in his attentions to my sister in London. Cross-exemined—Tbe major generally celled on a Sunday. Mr. Mallet wee absent twins when he called. but be never sew my slater alone while I was staying with her. I believe he once celled on a Monday, but I was present. The Bev. Wm. Blithersli-1 am brother of Mrs. Mallet. In 1859 I paid her a visit at Scandale-villas. I went in October or November, and I stayed nearly two months. My health was not good. I generally occupied a beck dining room. For the first three or four weeks I was almost always at home. I never saw Major Fitzgerald, or heard his name. Ann Broomfield was in the service of Mr. end Mrs. Mallet from November, 1857, to March, 1859, and gen conirma iTevideme. lefition Ludon—l was a friend of Mr. and Mrs. Mallet, and visited them at Scarsdale-a Mu. I west with them to the theatre. I recollect once going with a friend of mine who is dead, and who &mow pealed Mrs Mallet and Miss ()Menem The fourth person in the brougham was not Major Fitzgerald. Cross-exambsed-1 saw Major Fitzgerald Swim in 1839. Jowls Theobeld, book-keeper at Pollock's Hotel, at Windermere, proved that Major and Ma. Fitzgerald were there from the 20th to the 27th of July, 1859. de J co mili Scott, landlord of the Victoria Hotel, Bemuses, that they were there from the 27th of July to the sth of Augmst. Captain Edward Boyle made their acquaintance at the Tussocks Hotel, in,the Highlands, about the 12th of August. Wee. Pettit, a fly master at Eaton-peen, who had letuar Magee to Mr. and Mrs. Mallet, said the last play job was on the 31.6 of Feb . (Loud laughter.) It was the dist of Jemmy, 1859. was a person named Trudgett in witesm's employ, but be could not have driven Mrs. Mallet to the play after January. The deposition of Mn. Maelensiii, an aunt of Mrs. Mal let, wee also reed. She was Madill, at Scarsdale-villas, and being lame she did not often lease the house. Mrs. Mallet woe also ea invalid. Only eaw Major Fitzgerald ones, and was premot daring the whole of the interview. This being the reepoedent a cess, The Queen's Advocate suggested that the speeches should be taken on Wednesday. Sir J. Wilde could not un dertake to get through two speeches of counsel and the summing up on V;ednesday. Unless, therefore, the learned advocate was prepared to go on at mice the cave must stand over till next term. The Foreman said the jury were agreed. Mr. Chambers, Q.C. (with hire Dr. Wambey)—No,' no, gentleman, you must bear me. The Jury—Then we'll hear Mr. Chambers. Mr. Chambers thou addressed the court in reply, and re minded the jury that they were upon their own trial He maintained that, wiles they were going to say that Major Fitzgerald was mad, both the cruelty and the adultery had been amply proved. Let them remember that there were people who wore maths—husbands who peed at amiable persons before the world, but who grossly ill-treated their wires—women who were scandalously abused, bat who exhibited before society the appearance of affix- Norte sad happy wives. He lealotrieed that both of these =had been dose by the parties to th e suit. He con that the very Waltrip of Major Fitzgerald that he had gm ales° to the Opera Comique while he wu at Paris on his marriage tour proved him to be without the raptures of a lever or the affection of a husband. In saying that, he (the learned counsel) felt that he should meet with a res ponse from the heart of every woman, and that every one of them in the box would have coodemned his own brother, his own son, or his dearest friend for so vile a seethe' of a wife is th e first week of her honeymoon. Major Fitz preld had attempted to attribute his irritable temper to his wounds in the Crimea, but his ows witnesses had dis posed of that atom. He had always bees • pandonate man, and he was exactly the sort of person to be guilty of the outset attributed to him. He admitted that he bad chaffed his wife out of Punch; but the man that would chaff • wife out of Punch would be • likely person to indulge in the unmanly amazon about her being a battered old 'crew," which she said he had used to her. Major Fitzgerald denied that he bad ever refused invita tions for her ; but MU Taaffe said that she was "coarse." This great family had thus from the very first turned up their some at a serener whose sole attraction had probably bees her wealth. He (Mr. Chambers) would be • coarse 1104 i vulgar man far the sops, and would say that Miss Taaffe, in that or belle observation of her's, had completely " let the cat out of the bag." The respondent's conduct at the Castle ball, as it stood even upon his own admission, was • clear piece of most indelicate unkindams, sad a clear act of cruelty. Nor had there been the slightest tittle of evidence to disprove glee. na rrate averments respecting the cause of her mister. rages. The attempt to show that they had arisen from Literal came and not from her husband's violence had wholly failed. After the respondent's letters there could be ao reasonable doubt that there had been cruelty. As to the adultery, the court had seen what bad been dope to get rid of the nespoedeat's eonfeesiona. Mrs. Mallet, who wee a very captivatieg woman, had been brought there te capti vate the jury. There was, however, oar fatal blot upon her testimony---she was throughout flatly contradicting Major Fitzgerald. He (Mr. Chambers) would presently I draw the attestioa of the jury to pumps is the major's letters ; and that if they did not think they proved the taspondeat's guilt he would say that they were right in wishing to return a verdict without being the reply ; but • if otherwise, let them turn round in their box and confers That all zees washable to en—'specially late in the mon ies when they wanted to get away.

The jury not thinking this a desirable course, Sir J.

The Whitwnrtb Institute, erected by the muni ficence of Benjamin Whitworth, Fen.. at • east of 2,0001.. was opened en the 15th inst. by a tea and radio meeting. The largo room was handsomely deeerated for the occasion. and the orchestra was occupied by the band of the Rowland family, whose performaooes wen warmly applauded by the company. Tea was served in the large and &Irvin we of the lower rooms, punctually at 6 o'clock, to about 460 veer. Although only a limited number of tickets were Jena, yet such was the interest felt in the institute that the tickets were speedily bought up..ud in some instances • considerable mium paid in order to obtain one. Nearly 401adies resident of the town kindly presided at the trays,snd there were pre sent also a goodly number of the influential ladies and gen tlemen of the town and neighbourhood. After tea, a public meeting was held in the large room, presided over by J. A. Tamer, Esq. The chairman in an introductory speech gave the toast "The Queen," which was received with the greatest enthusiasm, the audience rising and joining in the National Anthem. The Rev. R. S. Stoney, in an able speech, bore testimony to the noble example of Mr. Whitworth. Mr. Porter, having spoken of the great worth a Mr. Whitworth to the town of Fleetwood, preeented to that gentleman an address from the inhabitants, which was beautifully written and illuminated on vellum, and elegantly enclosed in rose-coloured morocco. The address being read, there was a general wither* of the heartiest enthusiesm,which having subsided, Mr. Whitworth remarked that whilst acknowledmog the warmth of the recep tion given him, homily felt the erection of the institute a mat tarot duty. The Rev. H. Lingo, of Fleetwood, also adverted the assembly, and eras followed by the Rev. H. Solly, eserotary of the Working Mee's Club and Institute Union, who spoke of the pleasure he felt in being present at the meeting. Having alluded to the noble generosity of Mr. Whitworth, Mr. Scilly said there ought to be some higher connexion between employer and employed than the mere payment of wages—that the working-man should feel there was some thing else to live for besides endeavouring to accumulate wealth. To teach this lesson was the great purpose they ' bad in forming working-men's clubs throughout the oountry. Dr. Gray, of Drogheda, 'and other speakers, then followed, and a vote of thanks haying been passed to the chairman. the company separated after singing the National Anthem. BOWZI'REET. A respectable-looking old man, who said his name was Smith Robinson, was charged with being concerned with another not in custody with stealing 101. from Mr. Mulli gan, a retired tradesman. The prosecutor stated—l was in Huntley-street. Totten ham-court-road, yesterday afternoon between 4 and 5 o'clock, when I met the premier. He stops me and says, "Bless my heart, how do you do! +by, dear me, it is _tears since we met." I could not real him ; so I says , " really you have the advantage of me, sir." (A laugh.) " Why, bless me," says he, " I knew you very well years and yaws ago." So I began to think I had a faint recollectioe of him. and I said to him, " Well, what name "Robinson," says he, " Well," says I. ' I did know Mr. Robinson, • liveryetable keeper." "No," says he, "I am not that Robinson, but I pow him well, and no doubt it was then we met." Wall, sir, I began to think it was all right, so I said to him, " I am going this way, but if you will come along with me to the Wellington, in Univer sity-street, I don't mind standing a glass for old acquaintance sake!" (Laughter.) So as we walked slaw he told me what brought him up to town. He said he had bought • hone for 251.. and sent his coachman for it, and they would not let him have it, so he had oome to see the party himself. " And." he says, " the coachman lives somewhere here ; I think this is the vary street. W net is the nun at the street !" " Huntley-street," says L " That is it," says he, " and hare is the very man." Just then a man dressed like • coachman came from one of the house in Huetleyetnet, as if he bad just come out of the house. " Han !" lays the prisoaer, , • Why did not you let my man have that horse!" •' Oh," says the coachman, " he only brought 201. and the governor said it shouldnot go for less thus 251. "Nonsense," says the prisoner; I seat him with 251." "Well," says the man, he only brought 201., and now the governor says you shan't have it at et lam to take it to Tattersell'a " Dear, dear" says the primmer " don't do that. Just tell the governor lam reedy to pay the 251. Don't let it go because my man made • mistake." Well, then the prisoner and I went to the Wellington mid had • gins, and presently in comes the coachman. Then he tells the prisoner that the governor won't let him have the hone at any pnos—he is to go and sell it at Tattersall's or to • private party. Then the primmer takes out his purse and wain out 25 sovereigns. "No,' says theme ; " I am not to nil it to yea." " Rut you may to any °melee r " Yes," says the man. Well," says I, "sell it to me." (Much laughter.) So the prisoner begins to count out 25 sove reigns again to give them to me. " That won't do," says the man. " If I sit here and see you take the money from him I might as well sell it to him at nee." " says I, " 101. is all I have got about me ." and I laid 101. as the oceinter. He sweeps it into his po cket and rays, "tome and see' the governor." Out he goes; I following, as I thought we were going to the governor, but be was round the corner and out of sight in • minute. (A laugh.) Just at that minute I saw the old gentleman running like a deer. (Roars of laughter.) He was cutting away in the contrary direction from the public-house. 1 followed, and when I caught him I said, " You old scoundrel, you are colluding with that man to rob me." I could see the drift of it then. (Laughter.) We were just by • public-house kept by a friend of mine, so I got the potmaa to help me to detain bite in the public- , house while • policeman was sent for. Now you see, sir, the reason why I stuck to the old man was this. I had seen him with '25 sovereigns, so I thought if I could detain him I should get my money beck. (A laugh.) While we were waiting the potboy saw him trying to pass away • puns to some bystander ; so he says, " No, you don't do that ; I shall not let you pass it away," and he takes the parse from him. When the constable came in he looks at the purse and says ' "Oh ! there is only two sove- reigns and • shilling in it. Then the prisoner sits down on a bench and leans against a puncheon se if he WI'S too faint to sit up, and he clasps the puncheon with his arm as if to keep from falling ; end then he sa g e, "Oh ! I feel so bad ; I must have a glass of gin." " No. says the landlord, " you don't have gin or anything else in my house. " Then the boy looks behind the puncheon and sees • heap of sovereigns sod slop out, " Oh ! here is twelve of than, at all events." So I thought I sbould get my 101. back again ; but the policeman shakes his head, and says, "Not a bit of it ; they are all duffers." (Roan of laughter.) Mir. Dottie—Duffers! _ _ WitereiaLYes, eir7sham every one of them. Mr. Oorrie—Do you mean counterfeit Witsem—No, sir; not even counterfeit. They ere only The prisoner was remanded. If ARLBOROUGH-STERET. Mr. Nathan Jacobson, of No. 311, Oxford-street, was summoned by the authorities of St. Pancras for removing human remains from a place of burial known as Tottenham court-road Chapel Burial Ground without license. Mr. Cooper, on behalf of the vestry, stated that the re mains of birdies had been dug up with spades, and cast into a heap fifteen or twenty feet in length, wholly exposed to the public gnu. A n application had been made to Sir George Grey, and he had directed that the result of the pre sent application should be ascertained. Mr. Jackson, in explanation. said be had purchased the ground, coder a sal* in Chancery, for building purposes. In his excavations he had been careful not to commit any offence, and he had given strict orders to the workmen to bury any of the Donee that might be dug up. They certainly had found a few bones, which had been properly burie d, but they had not come to any coffins or dead bodies, not haying gone lower than n feet from the surface. He had taken the precaution of having all the earth sifted, so that no bones might be pseud over. Mr. Knox said that before commeocioghis excavations the defendant ought to have procured an authority from Sir George Grey, and this would have avoided all scandal. There certainly did not appear to have been such a violent desecration as would justify him in imposing the full penalty, bat as it had been thought necessary to take these proceedings in vindication of the law he should in diet • tine of 51. and costs._ . .

COTTON GOODS.—Msucluurrint, Dec. 19.—The yarn and cloth market has been exceedingly Bat throughout the week, and up to the ekes of business today nothing ham occurred denoting any permanent improvement. There was rid to be a slightly better feeling yesterday morning, but it did not lead to any actual business worth speakiog of. Want of confidence is betrayed in the fact that shippers are un willing to enter into °attracts, or purchase cloths unless in stock and available for immediate shipment; while on the other hand manufacturers are disposed to @top their mills unless they oan obtain contracts at prioes which either yield a profit or at least l igkten the lose which is inseparable from allowing their machinery to stand idle. Many manufacturers have preferred not stood ing the markets this woes, anticipating falling prices. In the few transactions which have taken place in cloth prices have been against sellers, and the market has had a droop ing tendency all the week. Home trade yarns have declined during the week id. per lb. sod the class of them called Blackburn yarns (Ws and under) have sold in some cuss at a decline of Id. per lb. In shipping wee, yesterday, some of the leading se ll ers reported that the downward course of prices seemed to have received some cheek, but there was scarcely any business effected. A good mazy spinners sod manufacturer seem to have the impression that the only way to cheek the decline will be to lessen production, and it is expected that some of them will be driven to this course rather than incur the ruinous loss involved by selling at the rates now obtainable the goods made from the reletively high priced cotton.

The merchants' order given out dories the but fortnight have been small, and are now at an end for the year, bat in the home trade there is no decline whatever; manufacturers are all well corned, and have sufficient to keep them going up to the end of the quarter : such is the case in all the principal brioches. For fenny goods there has been a better demand of late, and stocks have been to some extent reduced. The demand for material is on the increase—a very unusual occurrence at this period of the year. The reports from the adjoining districts are all of them more or lees satisfactory ; all the salines, and indeed labour of every class to well employed, and In some departments the scarcity of it is felt. At the foundries business is brisk ; there is a steady demand far railway tit• tinge, amply sufficient to keep the large works in full opera . tiou. On the Dudley side of the county there is an unusual amount of activity ; the outing trade is brisk ; sad from the neighbourhood of Bton:bridge there are reports to the same effect, except as to the glass trade of that locality, in which some degree of slackness is felt. The iron trade continues remarkably buoyaot, to such an extent is this the cue that some el those engaged in it are actually in favour of a rise of 30e. per ton ; the more general feeling is. however, in (avow of 11.
