TIM - EXPRiSS, TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 13, 1863. 1/10001.. barely meetti f eed,;ad it was plain that LordStrathmore'scolt was regarded as • trifle "fishy." At length 10 to 1 was offered Kann him, but even this increase of a point over . his last quotation did not tempt his friends. Hospodar's position at the commencement of business was somewhat • uncertain. but afterwards 13 to 1 was taken to 501., then to 1001., and at length 12 to 1 was booked to various amounts, though those odds were offered up to the close. 20 to 1 was the opening offer against Carnival, and for some time layers declined to lay more than that price , but ultimately •22t0 1 to 50/. was laid. Automaton was ooe of the first horses inquired after as Dom as anything like a " ring " ' was formed, nos of the well.knowe Strand commission • " firm" immediately accepting 1000 to 45, which he booked three times, with an offer to "go on" at that pries. At the finish no more than 21 to 1 was offered against Lord ' Stamford's colt. The confederate of the owner of Tom Fool again sought to beck that colt, and demanded 25 to 1, but no more than 22 to 1 could be obtained. Blue Mantles pries was almost nominal, but towards the close 1000 to 35, or 28 to 1, was laid, the demonstration in the colt's favour last Monday !having obviously somewhat cooled down. A large number of outsiders were again " put up" in the mar ket, and concerning one or two of them some really heavy wagering took place. 30 to 1 was the nominel figureesch of Na tional G usrd and R Utopia. John Scott's four, Fairly Purl, Michael Scott, The Beau, and the reputed " roarer, Mel ' rose, were supported at 40 to 1 each, which price was booked to 301. about Rapid Rhone. The indefatigable " commissioner " who had hacked Automaton was also eager in his support of another animal, Tak, whom he backed for • deal of money, the outlays apon this colt in the course of the afternoon being to the extent of at least 5001. 50 to 1 was taken about the Austrian hone, Giles the First, to a small amount, and 5,000 to 75, or 66 to 1, about Trojanus. 1,000 to 10 was taken five times about Overstone, and the same odds about Bright Cloud. Two or three " long shots" were laid, 1,000 to 5 each being betted several times to the Stuck Exchange representative about Avondale, Queen Bertha, and DUDIFiIIiI)O (late Moor cock). Some " lot " bete were laid during the sfternoon, 20 to 1 being taken to 1001. about Lord Glasgow's lot, and Mr. Saxon, after • little bye play, took 1,000 to 20 that one of his team (which includes Countess, Amazonian, Lady Superior, and Jerry) wins the Derby. The Two Thousand was almost at a dead lock, 100 to 30 about Hospodar sod 15 to 1 about Brick, the latter to • "pony," being the only bets laid. Saccharometer was friendless at offers of 4to 1.

The adjourned inquest in this cane was held before hfx.l Phillips, deputy coroner. at the Fiddler,' Arms Inn. Lower Gomel, on Friday evening. Spruceson was recalled, and further deposed that Rachel Thompson told her that she aw the poker ' . sticking" in her sister's had when ahe came down stairs, Rachel Thompson was also re-called. On entering the room she cried bitterly, and on seeing her father her grief was most piteous. She denied having made such • state ! mist to Mrs. Sommer. She then jumped frantically into her father's arms and sobbed, " Oh, my poor father, oh, my poor father," and kissed him several times. The prisoner returned the endearment, and pushing her from her embraise rid, "Noe go and speak the truth, and be • good girl." The girl was obliged to be removed from her parent. The seer between father and daughter was • very touching one. J. Smith further stated that the prisoner told him that the dared had fallen against the fender, and that he bad not struck her. His reason for sot saying this before was because he did not want "to make • short story a long one." By desire of the prisoner, Joseph Spruonson was exa mined, and he deposed that the prisoner told him to fetch • policeman andsurger when be went into the house. The Coroner said he bad left the important evidenos of the surgeon, who had made the pest not tem examination of the body, until the last. Mr. Henry Ballenden, surgeon, deposed to making • post mortem examination in the preemiee of three sur geons. The Lady externally presented no marks of di°- , icons, except • wound about half an inch long on the side of the head, about one inch above the left ear. The depth of the wound was three inches and • quarter. He was of opinion from them indications that the cause i of death was inflammation of the brain, sack inflammation being caused by the wound described. The wound was pro duced by some pointed instrument. The depositions were afterwards read over to the pri loner, and be made, after being cautioned in the usual I way, the following statement :—I had no enmity at all against the child, and I did not mean to hurt her. I saw my wife at ten o'clock in the night, and begged her to stay ,at home, as she had been away the three eights before. I I told her I would stop at home. I did not want to hurt her, endear I would not touch her, and that I was always un ary sad uocomfortable when she was away, , The Coroner then summed up, and after a conference of a few minutes, the jury determined upon the verdict of " Manslaughter." The prisoner was then taken to Baron.

Last ought the members of the Law Amendment Society met at their offices, Waterloo - Ado ; Mr. 401080; chairman of the Surrey Sessions, in the chair. The subject for discussion we., " What shall we do with our eriminalsr —which was introduced some time ago by Mr. Hastings, and twice adjourned. On the motion of Mr. SUGAR. the following committee was appointed to consider the subject —Lord Stanley. Mr. tlotnnuasioner Hill, Mr. Serjeant Woolrrch, Mr. Vaughan, Mr. Medians, Mr. F. Hill, Mr. Puling . Mr. Hawes, Mr. Tenho, Mr. Allen, Mr. Elliot, and Mr. Edgar. Mr. ARNOLD reapeoed the discussion by saying that almost everything that could be said on this questioo lied been said already. He believed the best mode of dealing with those who were hardened criminals was by transporta tioo—if transportation was practicable. Of course if it was not, there was oo more to be said in regard to that mode of dealing with them. But supposing that transportation was ' impracticable. the next question was how were they to deal with their criminal population at home. His view was that those who showed they had reached a stage of crime which I wee beyond reform should be shut up and deprived of the opportunity of preying upon society. But he would show leniency to those who evinced • dispoeition to reform. Those persons should, however, he nude, the strict super intetidence of the police, but not in such • way as to inter fere with their gaining a livelihood by honest industry. Mr. VAUGHAN was of opinion that the full measure of the sentence parsed on criminals should be carried out. He was also of opinion that criminals were treated with undue con sideration in prison. He would not, however, shut out the hope of amendment, and after • criminal had undergone ' the full term of his sentence he would give him the oppor. tunity of reform. But when a cnminal showed that be was beyond reformation, his opinion was that he should be treated as irreclaimable, and prevented from preying on society by complete exclusion. He would subject those cri minals who were let out of prison to the strict and severe supervision of the police. and even to domiciliary visite. He thought that those houses where criminals were known to resort for the purpose of crime should be liable to indict, moot in the same way as gaming-houses. (Hear, hear.) Mr. EDGAR gave eapsesoon to very much the lame views. Alter a few words from Mr. WILIOTILD, The CHAIRMAN suggested that further discussion on the subject should be postponed till the reports of the commis sion and of the committee who were to inquire into the sub ject were published. The SECRETARY then read • paper on the "Convict System,* by Mr. M. I). Hill, Recorder of Birmingham. The scope of the paper was to defend the refor notary system as a principle, and to show that its failure was to be attributed to the mode in which it was carried out. The reformatory principle ought not to be made responsible for the absurd indulgence which was shown to criminal■ under the present system. He was, however, opposed to the adoption of whipping as • means of reformation, and was of opinion that deterrents in general were much lees efficacious than was popularly supposed. Mr. PULLING moved that theper should be referred E 0 the committee, which was adopted. Mr. HAOTINGB replied oa the whole question, alter which the meeting adjourned. THE ARSENICAL POISONINGS IN LINCOLN SHIRE. On Friday, at the Horntatatle Police Court, John and Elizabeth Garner were charged with the wilful murder of Hannah Garner, the first wife of the male prisoner, who died on the 27th of March, 1861. It may be stated that on the previous Friday the prisoners were committed for trial on the coroner's warrant, on the charge of wilfully mur dering Jemima Garner, the male prisoner's mother, the evidence showing that her death had been caused by repeated doses of arsenic. While the inquiry was being instituted, suspicious circumstances came to light regard ing the death of Tamer's dint wife, and Superintendent Tborsby accordingly made application to the Home- Secratery for leave to exhume the body, which was granted. The exhumation took place in the preemies of Dr. Boul toe, and jars containing the stomach, intestines, be., were forwarded to Professor Taylor for analysis. The professor has not yet given his evidence, but he he forwarded a communication stating that he hes discovered arsenic in sullicieet quantities to moot for death. The principal wittier examined on Friday was Ann Shepherd, who went to live in the service of John Garner about fourteen years ago. She left there seven yearn since. Mrs. Garner and Shepherd, according to the evidence of Gar ner's daughter, were extremely fond of each other, and this will account for the great attention the latter paid to the deceased during her last Sinew. When Shep herd first went to live with Garner, he and his wife laved very comfortably together. A few years afterwards, however, he sometimes quarrelled with his wife. About three years ago Shepherd and her husband were placed by John Garner in a beer-house of his ; it adjoined the slop in which he hoed, and was under the same roof. About October, 1860, Whittaker, the female prisoner, whom Garner married a few months ago, went to live with Garner as servant. Soon after this the conduct of Garner to his wife changed for the worse. The wife suspected that her husband and Whittaker were os too friendly terms, and frequently expressed a determination to get rid of her as soon as pos sible. A few weeks before Mrs. Garner died, Shepherd, while in bed, beard some one knocking at her door. Sbe opened her chamber window, sod heard either Whittaker or Mr. Garner my that Mrs. Garner had jumped out of her chamber window. She accordingly partiall y dressed herself, and wrest down stairs. Garner was in the house, and was very angry at what his wife bad done. Shep herd went out of doors to look for Mrs. Garner, and even tually discovered her on the road in her night dress. She stated that her husband had bean swearing at and beat ing her, and that she had jumped out of the window to escape from him. At this time Whittaker was in the habit of abusing her mistress very much. On another occasion, after this, Mrs. Garner bad to rush from the house to save herself from her husband's violence. Os the Beta :day or Saturday week following Mrs. Garner wee taken seriously ill, and Shepherd was sent for by her. Os going upstairs she found Mrs. Gasser violently pot , and sick, and she complained of excessive thirst. grandmother was also very sick. At the request of Mrs. Gamer, Shepherd gave her some cold water, and then went into the shop and fetched the drawer containing arrowroot, and made her some food. This drawer was placed just over the shelf where about /cwt. of arsenic was kept. Shepherd tasted the food, and Theo gave it to Mrs. Garner. It apparently did her good. M. Garner con tinued in this Mete for some days, Shepherd occasionally waiting upon her and making arrowroot for her. No meth. cal man was sent fur, and Whittaker treated her mistress, defier the whole time, with the greatest neglect. Mrs. Garner continued to be violently purged and sick up to the Monday week after she was first seised. On this day Shepherd again prepared the arrowroot, and ate a large portion of it herself. She was afterwards violently ' sick and ill, and was confined to her bed for two days. On Wednesday she again went to see Mrs. Garner, and informed bee of her illness and she thee mewed some more arrowroot for her, but did not himself partake of it. Shepherd afterwards became worse, and woe confined to her bed, and elm had never been well since. For a long time she bad no use in any of her limbe.—The daughter of John Garner (Mrs. Wetherhogg) spoke to the violence of her father when in drink, remarking, however, that when sober be was a good husband and father ; she also spoke of the deceitfulness of Whittaker. She attended upon her mother for a few days during her last Slams, bat the food WY always prepared by Whittaker. Elisabeth Russell, er, while working at Ganter's house, saw him strike his wife with his clenched fist, and heard him use fearful language to her ; end the woman who laid out the body of Mrs. Gasser stated that at the time of her death she had a black eye, and several bruises about her body. Mr. Blades, surgeon, of Tat terahall, said that on the 20th of December, 1860, he was requested by Mrs. Wetherhogg to attend the deceased. Her spirits were greatly depressed, and she complained of pain in her stomach and bowels. Her tongue was in a white creamy state, and her pulse small and quick. She complained to him of cruel ill-usage He He furnished her with medicine, treating her for chronic gustro enteritis, the symptoms of which disease are very similar to those produced by arsenical poisoning. He again saw her on the 2.lrd, and found that she had taken only half the medicine. He asked the reason of this, and she replied, • " It's no use, doctor, I can't take the medicine ; I met get it down." On the 24th he sent her tome more medicine, and on calling again on the 29th Garner told him that as his wife could not take the medicine it was useless for him to prescribe or to call again, and, accordingly, he did not. At that time he (Mr. Blades) bad not the slightest suspicion that Mrs. Garner had been poisoned ; bet as he was now aware that poison had been found in her body, his opinion se to the disease under which he thought she lalour.ll was altered.—The prisoners were then remanded. Prof.:moor Taylor will not give hie evidence until Wednesday. SUSPECTED CASE OP POISONINO.--Great excite ment prevailed at Bideford on Saturday, through a report that two servant men at Mr. John Cork's, farmer, in the parish of Abbotsham, and not far from The Northam Burrows, had been poisoned by the servant girl of the house on the preceding morning. It appears, from the facts already known, that the young men partook of some broth for breakfast, each having a basinful ; Mr. Cork, we under stood, also partook of some of the same. The men went to their work as usual, and after having been out some time they were nixed with griping pains in the bowels, and with a sick feeling; they were obliged to give up work, sod the inmates of Mr. Cork's Reuse became alarmed, and seat immediately to Bideford for medical aid. Dr. Ackland was speedily is atteodarioe, and, by the prompt use of the stomach pomp relieved the suffering men. The contents of the stomachs, we are is formed, are reserved for analysis. In addition to the symptoms of poisoning manifested in the condition of these young men that aroused the suspicion that they had been pinned, is the fact that the young woman, who is about 27 years of age, had frequently threatened them. It apposes the men had repeatedly "chaffed" this wom e n, w h o , Wing of an irritable disposition, bad taken it up, and had threat ened to poison Them. We learned. on the despatch of our parcel, that both men were likely to venire. Mr. Cork did not feel any ill effects from what he partook of ; sad it is thought that the poison (if any) was put into the basins, and not mixed with the whole of the broth. Our corres pondent, writing on Sunday, adds that the men are likely to recover. Nothing further had transpired as to the affair. Western Morning NM. tab, tntelligcnce. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.-JAN. 12. flittinp in Banco.—(Before Lord Chief Justice Erie, and JoAnne Williams, Willed, and Heating.) BILLZE O. SOLLOWAY.—"BOLLOWAT'S OINTMENT." The plaintiff in this case, a foreign gentleman, was a physician, and he claimed to recover 5001. for procuring the defendant permission to 'ell and advertise Holloway's Ointment in Frames and her colonies. The ease was tried in Middlesex before Lord Chief Justice Erie, when the verdict was entered nominally for the plaintiff, subject to the opinion of the full court. Mr. Bovill now moved for a rule to enter a verdict for the defendant, or a nonsuit, and stated that the contract sued upon was contained in certain correspondence. The defendant promised to pay the 5001. for permission to sell and advertise the ointment, but disputed that " the per mission must be formal end emanate from the minister upon the report of the Medical Council of Paris ;," and what the plaintiff obtained was a permission to sell the " pommade dite Holloway,* which was composed of white and brown was, turpentine, lard, and some other articles. Mr. Holloway swore that these were not the con stituents of his ointment, and there was no doubt that the authorities in Perim thought that they were giving permis sion for„theleale of a pomade, and not of an ointment for the cure of ulcers end other things. The Lord Chief Justice said that the plaintiff requested Mr. Holloway to send him some of his ointment for analysis according to the law of France before permission was granted to sell, and the analysing chemist said that it was composed of the ingredients which had been mentioned. Mr. &mill stated that according to the law of Francs there could be no patent for a secret remedy ; and such could oily be vended under the sanction of the Minister of the Interior or a decree of the Emperor. The document which had been procured was granted conditionally upon 100 franca being paid within a year of its date, and the the plaintiff's agent had omitted to make the payment, and the defendant had not made it, for he was not aware of the gnat ; so that the matter fell to the ground, and the defendant !had in reality got nothing at all. Under these circumstances it was submitted that he was not liable to pay the 500/. If the plaintiff failed to recover upon the agree ment, he then claimed to ester a verdict for services rendered, and the amount had been agreed at 1501. ; but it was submitted that the plaintiff must succeed upon the agreement or not at all. The Lord Chief Justice said that the rule would be granted, but the learned counsel must not be too sanguine as to making it absolute. Bole granted. 101311C8 O. JONEN.—TIII ACCIDENT Is TIDI WATERLOO-10AD. The plaintiff was the widow and administratris of a per son named Robins, who was killed on the 10th of February, 1862, in consequence of a grating in the Waterloo-road giving way and precipitating him and a number of other people to the bottom. The present action was against the owner of the property to recover damages for loss sustained in the death of the deceased, and at the trial before Mr. Justice Wiles the verdict wu for the plaintiff for 2dof.. subject to the opinion of the court upon some questions of law. Mr. Lush now moved fora role to enter a nonsuit. The Feting in question was not placed in the public footway, but between that footwsy and the wall of the house. The defendant held a lease of the property from the Marquis of Salisbury, and in 1859 he entered into an agreement with Mesas. Jeffs, contractors, that upon their putting this and some other houses into repair, be would grant them a lease of the houses for 21 years at .160/. a-year. Messrs. Jeffs did repair to the satisfaction of the surveyor of the " and on tie 18th August, 18(10, the defendant granted them a lease, which bound them to keep the premises in repair. Under these circumstances it was submitted that the action should have been against Messrs. Jeffs. Mr. Justice Willes—The contention was that the grat ing was in an unsafe state when the defendant let the pre mises, and that it continued in that state until the accident, and that theme facts made the defendant liable. It war proved that in May, 1859, the surveyor to the Lambeth vestry l gave the defendant's agents notice that the place was Mr.Lush—And the defendant's agent having inspected it thought that this was not so, and the vestry took no further ;21 This being private property, he submitted that the had no right to be upon it, except for the tou-pree al going to the houtes, but what in fact occurred was that a distress had been put in, the broker bad been subsequently got out, and his attempts to force an eotrance caused a mob to assemble. lu addition to the points which he had already mentioned, he submitted that some of the answers of the jury to questions put by his lordship were not justified by the evidence. Rule granted. IRWIN r. SIR G. GREY, RART.-ALLIORD BREACH OF DLITT BY Till HOBE BDCIBTILBY. This was an action against the Rome Secretary, to recover damages in consequence of his not haring presented to her Majesty a petition of right from the plaintiff, who is a member of the Irish bar, and whose name has been fre quently before the public. The damages claimed were no lea than 100,000/. The trial came on before the Lord Chief Justice, when Sir O. Grey was called, and be stated that be bad in fact presented the petition of right, but had advised her Majesty not to grant the prayer of it ; and upon this evidence his lordship told the jury that it they believed Sir G. Grey they must bud for the defendant ; and a ver dict wee found for him accordingly. Mr. Irwin now moved for a rule for a new trial, or for judgment non obstaate veredicto ; and also for • mandamus commanding Sir G. Grey to present the petition in accord ance with the Petitions of Right Act. He submitted that his lordship should have directed the jury that it was the duty of Sir G. Grey to present the petition without accom- Partying it with the advice not to grant it. The Lord Chief Justice—The action was for not present ing the petition, and Sir G. Grey proved that he did in fact present it. Mr. Irwin—Yes, with the advice not to grant it ; whereas be should have presented it without that advice, and in accordance with the terms of the Bill of Rights and Magma Chula. Mr. Justice Wiles—There were no petitions °fright until the time of Edward Ist. Mr. Justine Keating—Gould advice given boot fide by • minister of the crown be made the subject of an action Mr. Irwin referred to various authorities to show that the prayer of a petition of right ought to be granted en debito justitime. Another point was that some of the special juror had not been summoned, and this being so, it was submitted that the defendant had no right to have the jury completed with tales men. He alao contended that there was misdirection in his lordship having said that the plaintiff, after readings letter to Sir Geo. Grey, ought also to put in the answer to that onutmunicstion. _ . . . Mr. Justine Williams said he was of opinion that his lordship was quite right in directing the jury that if they were witistied that the petition was presented they must Met for the defendant ; and he was further of opinion that if the Attorney-General had stopped Sir George Grey in his answer, and objected that he ought not to he asked to state what paled between her Majesty and himself, his lordship ought to have allowed that objection. As to the *newer of Sir George Grey being read, his lordship had simply ex pressed an opinion as to what was the proper course to be pursued by the plaintiff ; sod even supposing he had ban wrong in this opinion, atoll he did not insist as • matter of law that the plaintiff should produce the answer, and there fore there was so misdirection. As to the jury being filled up with tales men there was clearly nothing in that point. Mr. Justice Willa perfectly agreed wi h all that had been said by his learned brother. It was clearly the duty of Sir G. Grey to give such advice to her Majesty as he thought neetesary, and it would be perfectly inconsistent with any government in the country if an action would lie against him for so doing. Before the time of Edward I. actions were brought against the crown without any ob struction, but since then the course had been to proceed by petitions of right, and the reason was, that it was thought to be ioconsisieut with • strong executive that a subject should be allowed to proceed against the crown without some check. Nothing could be clearer than that a petition of right had in all times been subject to the discretion of the crown to permit it so be proceeded with or not, and the reason was that otherwise frivolous proceedings might be carried on, and the public money would be wasted in de fending them. The other judges concurred, and the rule was refused. Mr. Irwin Naked for leave to appeal, but the court de clined to grant his application. COURT OF EXCHEQUER-JAN. 12.

Mr. FABNALL read the following report : " To the Contr.' Executive Relief Committee Manchester, Jan. 12, 1863. My Lords and Gentlemen, —I beg to inform you that, on the 3rd inst., there was a decrease in the number of per eons receiving parochial relief in the 27 union■ of the cotton manufacturing districts, as compared with the number so relieved in the previous week, of 7,:360. This decrease of 7,300 is explained as follows :—There is • decrease at Ashton-under•Lros of 1,506, at Barton-upomlrwell of 13, at Blackburn of 2,079, at Barnley of 913, at Bolton of 183, at Bury of 62, at Clitheroe at 60, at Gantang of 4, at Glossop of 26, at Hulingden of 843, at Lancaster of S. at Leigh of 18, at Mamleafield of 41, at Manchester of 95, at Oldham of 573, at Preston of 742, at Prestwich of 6, at Rochdale of 58, at Saddleworth of 70, at Salford of 212, at Stockport of 87, at Todmonlee of 91 ; making a total de. ' crease of 7.685. But there is an increase at (Thorley of 206, at The Fylde of 64, at Warrington of 51, and at Wigan of 4 ; making a total increase of 325, so that there is a bet decrease of 7,300. Os the 3rd instant there were 253,146 persons in the receipt of parochial relief ; in the corresponding week of last year there were 65,406 persons so relieved ; there is therefore an increase of 187.740. The per metese of pauperism on the population of these unions is 12'8 ; in the corresponding week of last year it was 3'3. The ex penditure in out-door relief for the week ended the 3rd instant was 17,0821. is. 86. ; in the corresponding week of last year it was 3,2621. 16s. Bd. ; there is therefore an in. muss of 13,8191. sa. The sump amount of out-door relief per head per week, both iu money and in kind, on the 3rd instant, wee Is. &L . • in the corresponding week of last year it was Is.2gd. The maximum number of paupers which I have hitherto reported to you was attained, by the 27 unions ad verted to, in the week ended the 6th ult.. when there were: 271,983 persons in the receipt of parochial relief; since' then there has been a weekly decrease of pauperism ; on , the 3rd inst. there ware 253,146 person, unlined ; a de crease, therefore, of 18,837 paupers has taken place, and am enabled to state that this decrease is mainly attribut able to the employment of some of the workpeople ; but at the same time I am informed that until the supply and the pprrtce of cotton, and the relative value of manufactured goods, are more positively eemblished than they are at pre. sent, even the partial employment of the mill hoods must remain in • very precarious position. For the week ended the 6th ult., the expenditure in outdoor relief in these 27 unions was 18,7214/. Bs. ; but the expenditure in out-door relief on the 3rd inst. wars 17,0821. le. Bd. ; there is, there- fore, • decrease in the lot week's expenditure of 1,6461. In accordance with the arrangement made at your last meeting, I have written to each of the medical officers of the above unions to ascertain the extent to which typhus fever prevails in their respective districts, and I shall be in a position to report to you on this subject on Monday next, On Friday last, I attended a meeting of the Chorlton board of guardians, by previous arrangement, wheel I brought wader their coesidention the complaint of the Messrs. Birley that the Chorlton board of guardians, in fixing the amount of parochial relief to be afforded to the workpeople of the Messrs. Birley, took into account the amount of aid which the Messrs. Birley gave them. I have now to report to you that I have received the assurance of the guardians, through their chairman, that they have not adopted this course, but that, on the contrary, they have relieved each of thou cases oe its own merits, to the beet of their judgment, and irrespectively al the aid extended to them by the Masora Birlay.• Colonel Parrett, M.P., remarked that numerous inquiries were being made of the members of the committee, both individually and collectively, as to whether it was necessary that the efforts being made in various parts of the country to nise money for Lanewhire relief should be 000tinued without relaxation. He thought the time had arrived when some official statement from the committee should be pat forth ass reply to such inquiries. Or of the inquiriee refined to was conveyed by the fol lowing letter from Dublin, which was read: "Dublin Central Committee for the Relief of Lancashire Distrito', Ousel Gallery, Commereial•baildioge, 10th January, 1863. " Dear e4,—Oar treasurer gent you 1,0001. (the 14th) yesterday. During the week we have had many inquiries as to whether more mosey ought to be collected for the relief of the Laassebirsdistrees. "There would seem to be the dawn of a better day for your people--a alight diminution in the number of appli cants for relief aad rather improved prospects as to employ meat ; while, if we reed the accounts correctly, you must have oe head an socncaulated (nod sufficient to cope with wee the present ratio of demands upon it for four mean to soma " Our committee had • long discussion to-day, ending in instructions to us to write you for a distinct answer to al plain question—Ought they to discourage further collecting and net on their oars, awaiting the mune of events! Should the present noble fund become nearly exhausted, the distreei remaining formidable and urgent, it were easy to resume our work ; but the committee have their doubts as to the wisdom of proceeding further at present. This country is itself passing through • very trying seams. There 11 ninth local distress—yet. in the face of these ad vane circumstances, the Irish people have liberally re opouded to the call addressed to them in behalf of their suf fering brethren. " If enough has been done for these (as far as the present time is concerned), we had better let the claims of our owe poor take the moat prominent place until you shall be again entitled to the foreground. We ask your candid opinion mad wise counsel under them circumstances, and hope to be favoured with your reply on or before Thursday, the 15th instant—Tour very obedient servant (for self and co. hon. seerstaries), "Tenses C. ScOrr. " We have still on band more than 8,(0)111. " J. W. Madam, Faq., Bond-street, Manchester." Colonel Parris said be thought certain passages in Mr. Ifernall's report, presented that day, would afford a tole rably cemelneiee answer to letters of this description. Sir J. K. BECITTLEROETE mentiooed that in East Lance shire, owing to the failure of use of the manufacturing esta blishments, 1,000 extra persoos would be thrown upon the relief funds this week, and he feared there would be many simile:stoppages in the cotton districts. The Earl of DERBY mid the answer to the letter from Dublin would be that there were probably sufficient funds in hand to meet the requirements of the next three or four mouths, bat that the partiel improvement which had taken place in the state of employment was considered very precarious ; that, from calculations such as were laid before the committee last week by gentleman of great experience and information respecting the supply of cotton, it was unreasonable to hope that there could be, under the moat favourable circumstances, inure than three days' employ. ment for the operatives during the year 1815:I, and that the demand upon charitable aid was therefore likely to be of very long oontirmauoe. Mr. FAIIIIALL thought it would be a @object for extreme regret, it, in the present serious position of affairs, any attempt should be mode to diminish the contributions to the relief hinds. It was egred that the hon. secretary should reply to the Dublin letter in themes of the fonegoieg remarks, sod that be should call special attention to sintensonto colitained in the rcceut reports by Chia committee, showing cicarly the neces.ity of unceasing e ff ort. on the part of the bene volent to meet the distress in the cotton manufacturing district.. HoN. Sucusrkar said it was necessary to bear in mind that in the sweet d any outbreak of disease DO pro yitiou bad been made in the estimate■ for such a con tingency ; and be called attention to a paragraph on the sub ject of further subscriptions in last mouth's report to the 'entre] committee. Mr. M. Roes remarked that the continuance of the dis km would depend mainly upon the coatinuance or other. wise of the American war, and there wee no indication at preeset of any probable termination of that straggle. Allusion having been made to a letter which app.gred in the public papers last week, addressed by the Rev. Mr. Williams, of Ashton-under-Lyne, to Colonel Wilson Pat. len, the latter stated that he bed not seen the letter nor heard of it till his entrance into the committee-mom, Mr. Williams not having bad the courtesy to give him inti mation of it. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S. MONDAY. The attends's°, this afternoon was larger than any that has mustered at the Corner since the close of the pest racing season, sad the betting was unusually heavy, certain animals being supported for many hundreds ' • and th e publi cation of the Chester Cup weights on Frida y next will lied to • still further increase of business. It will be perceived from the list of closing prices which we append that specu lation on the Derby included a very large number of horses, indeed more than have been known to be in the betting for years at this early period. Some stiff commieaious were still in the market, and those gentlemen entrusted with the outlay of the money completely tired out the layers. Lord Clifden gave further indica. Was of the immense favourite he is sure—bar accidents— to become, sod in the City during the morning he was backed for fire hundred pounds at 6to 1. On assembling at the corner the very first offer made was to " take 1,300 to 200 three times about the favourite." Those odds could not be obtained, and backers finally accepted 6 to Ito several hundred of pounds ; in fact, at the break.up we question whether more th an 11 to 2 could have bees secured to anything like COVISTIIR V. .--111101WS COMMISSION. This wail an action for oceiimissionaaebiCier,;;l;abefors Mr. Baron Martin at Guildhall, when the plaintiff was oon suited. Subsequently a rule was obtained for a new trial, and it now came on for argument. The plaintiff was em ployed by the defendant to obtain a cbarterprt7 for his Teasel, the Tower Hamlets, and having succeeded in effect ing one. he introduced the defendant to the merchant, but they were unable to come to terms. Afterwards the vessel wan chartered to Marra Lindsay through another broker, but the plaintiff claimed the usual commission of 51. per cent. on the first transaction. Mr. Philbrick having been heard in support of the rule, The murk without calliog upon Mr. Bowl% who appeared on the other side, maid they were of opinion that there was no beneficial performance of the Cunt contract, and that the plaintiff was, therefore, not entitled to recover for any far vices he had rendered. Rule discharged. THE POLICE COURTS. CLERICKNyq.LL. William Burritia;,;;d2i,: labourer, residing at 14, Frying.pamalley, Cowman, was charged before Mr. TrEyn court with violently assaulting Mr. Patrick Hickey, of 12, Ileckfordequare, Old-street, Bt.

The prisoner Burridge made a blow at him, which he avoided, but afterwards struck him on the face with such force that it caused a large bruise, and he now felt the effects of it. He believed the intentions of the men were to assault and rob him, and had it not been for the promptness of the police be had no doubt that he would have been seriously maltreated. Police-constable Byrne, 218 G, said be heard the cry of " l'olice." He found the prosecutor surrounded by a lot of the Golden-lane thieves. On the way to the station be was assaulted by the whole of the prisoners. Police-sergeant Leather, 6 , said he knew Burridge as • thief. On the way to the station the prisoners were very violent. . . _ . . The prisoners said they bed been to • judge and ju ry club at a bser.shop, and had got too mach to drink.

The others would pay • Ane of be., or in default be imprisoned for seven days. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Mr. Julius AIM, keeper of a café at 45, Wardour-street l3oho was charged before Mr. Tyrwhita :with assaulting Richard Okause, a lodger. The prosecutor, whose head was bandaged, said that he went to the prisoner's wife on Saturday night and tendered her part of the money he owed for his lodging, promising to pay the remainder the following week, when the prisoner and his wife abused him, and the former assaulted him, in juring his bead so badly that he was compelled to go to the Middlesex Hospital to have rt dressed. Is answer to the charge the accused said that on prosecutor paying part of the rent and promising to pay the remainder, be told him that if be would leave at once be wou lda forgive him the balance, as he annoyed his other lodgers.

The wound on prosecutor's bead was not mused by any act of his, bat through riu his violence, and coming in contact with • gas projecting from the wall. He (accused) was taken to the station ; but, in consequence of the sergeant not be ing able to make out the case, he was not detained. For the defence the servant girl was called, and she said that, on going to her master's assistance, prosecutor severely bit her linger ; and that the injury to the prosecutor's head was done as stated by her master. She further said that prosecutor had spat in the face and struck her master's wife. - Yr. Tyrwhitt discharged the accused, and ordered the tor to be bound over to keep the peace towards M. Fhl ilea sand his wife, and said he would advise the proseritor to make the poor girl who bad come forward to bee master some compensation for her 6oger, which protect bad bitten. WESTMINSTER. John Sullivan, a young man, was charged with being drunk at the Victoria Railway station, under circumstances which should operate as • caution to others. William Gearswright, watchman at the Victoria static., said that at twenty minutes past twelve the previous night he went down the line to put the pa out, when, to his um, pr• , a•k found the defendant in the tunnel, between eF and Elizabeth bridges.

Witoses—He was drunk, and hardly seemed to know what be was about. Mr. Arnold--Was he in • situation of dancer when he wee found? Witness—ln a situation of great danger.

At that meeting only a fractional portion of the members were pressed, and it is therefore contended thatithe views there expressed were not the views of the majority of the members of the Chamber. The Council of the Chamber also agreed yesterday to suggest various alters• time in the Partnership Lew Amend...t, Bill. but deferred their decision relative to this subject until they had column. nioated with the Birmingham Chamber.

Mr. Killick, the rector, in the chair, to take steps for discontinuing the Sunday trading system at present carried on in Clare market and its neighhourbood. The rev. chairman said he had communicated the objects of the movement to the Rev. Mr. Thorold, of St. Giles. the,Rev. Mr. Auriol, of St. Duostau's, the Rev. Mr. Wade. of St. Ann's, and the ad joining parishes, and he bad no doubt of receiving their co operation in the movement. Miss Twining, he believed, had canvassed the whole of Clara market, sod had not met with one instance in which the shopkeepers would not be willing to close eotirely on Sundays, provided their fellow.shopkeepers did the same. It we. of no use to ask the HOW* of Commons for a coercive act of parliament on:the subject ; but if they believed it to be right they must do the thing themselves. Clare•market, is a religious aspect, was a disgrace to the metropolis on Sundays. The Rev. Mr. Robins, curate of St. element's, suggested the (oration of a " St. Clement's and Clare market Association for Promoting the Closing of Shops on Sundan," and said be bad no doubt if they set the example that other Loudon parishes would soon follow. After con siderable discussion, in which Messrs. Beauchamp, Wood, Gosling, the Rev. My Struggles, and others joined, and in the nouns of which doubts were expressed as to whether it would be possible to obtain unanimity amongst the inhabi tants, many of them alleging that they derived more pecu niary advantage on the Sunday than on any other day in the week, the proposition was adopted, and the meeting separated.
