t tai EXPRESS, THE COURT-MARTIAL ON COL. CRAWLEY. hibiriou of • ghost scene that he had produc.•,:. Th.ve a; Iso art in producing a ghost. (Laughter.) It wee mete child's play, it leas oily • reflection. He failed to produce a ghost as it would have appeared from the east of a shiet of glass sufficiently large. The little that was there he produced. (Laughter.) Mr. Be '' b O'Brien —What did you produce? Plaintiff—The ghost of • waiter —(lauglitei)—or as mach as the glass would permit. He rehearsed with • waiter, because the stage was not then sufficiently DOCUTO for the young lady who was to be the ghost. The rehearsals could only take plans at the couclusion of the ordisary eveuiug performances. Arthur Birchoell, musician at Mr. Gear's, was celled to prove that the plaintiff was employed there to produce a ghost. At the rehearsal it was • failure. Mr. Gear was now producing his own ghost. ( laughter.) Mr. O'Brieu, for the defendant, said his case was simply that the plaintiff had undertaken to perform work which he was unable to do. Like the spirits from the vasty deep, the plaintiff's ghost refused to appear upon the screen when he turned the light, because he could not get thesis., at the proper angle boas to threw the reflection. The defendant was then called. He deposed that beget.* the plaintiff a fortnight to get the ghat up, but he Wed. At the first rehearsed the defendant appeared W bo calking about the hall insieed of euper l ategdiug 'tie ghost's appear. ance. At the first reb be attempted to produce the ghost of hig waiter—(laughter)—a poor diminutive fellow —(lanlibtal—but he failed. Plaintiff had • glass 3feet by 7 feet, bat the glans defendant now used was 11 fest by 7 feet. Defendant denied that the plaintiff took any part is the public appearaoce of the ghost. Plaintiff put wit ness to the expense of preparing • box from which he was going to produce lightning, but he failed. (Laughter.) Cross-examined—He gave the credit of producing his ghost to his scene-painter and carpenter. He had oo idea bow a ghost was produced before he saw the plaintiff's plan. He believed the plaintiff understood the theory of ghosts. (Laughter.) Mr. Hawkins—Well, how did the plaintiff's ghost go! Defendant—As well as such &ghost could go. (Laughter.) Mr. Hawkins—Oh, as well as such a ghost could go. Defendant—Yes ; as an optical illusion the ghost was good. Plaintiff dial not attend and superinteod it as he ought to have done. At first the thing was • failure. The ghost was still on, sad drawing large boots—not, however, the plaintiff's—that only ran five weeks. It drew a little, hut not so much as I expected. The public were dissatis fied with it. Mr. Hawkins—The public are often dissatisfied with • gnat deal they get. Defendant—Not with what lam doing now. (Laughter.) He had paid Professor Pepper 50/. for permission to do his ghost. Ile had no occasion to make any alteration in the stage arrangements for Professor Pepper's ghost. Mr. Chas. Pollock (producing 10140 pieces of papar)—Thim. I believe, is the piece written by the plaintiff for the ghost's directions. (Laughter.) I see here in one p/aos it rays, " Be welcome, death, I fear not;' and thee there's& crash, and the skeleton appease. (Loud laughter.) Is that the case! TWENTY-FIRST DAY. ALDERSHOT, Dsc. 18. The attendance of the general public was again esesiderable this morning, although riot quite so numerous as yeaterday. Mr. Headier°, M.P., Judge-Arlyrc.te- General. mud Lord Chelmsford, were &swept the earliest eteseut. ti n the re-auerabliog of the coat, Sir A. Hereford proceeded with his reply to Colonel Crawley's screech for the defence. He raid be purposed to actin Muesli to a plain comment on the evidence. He Nee proceeded to examine the various orders which the prisoner au alleged to have given, and then followed the arrest duriug the several otages of its severity—a severity which he maintained was on a gradually increasing acids. He commented upon the fact of the megrim being placed within riergeant•Malcr Lilley's bungalow. and examined the mums which the prisoner had given for - the adoption of that course. He contended that the prohibition against wry communication. verbal or written, with Sergeentellajor Ulu was absolutely illegal, sod contrasted strongly with the case of Colonel Crawley, both in &eked acid India, where he had had the first access not only to his own witnesses, but to those of the prosecution. Paymaster Smiles had • right by himself, er those acting for him, to communicate with hie witnesses. whereas Sergeant-Major Lilley was deprived of his right to communicate with Mr. Singles down to the day of his death, sad that was dons by the arbitrary act of the prisoner himself. But even that illegal excuse did not avail, for Colonel Crawley kept Sent, Major !Alley under does arrest after Paymaster Smalee's witnesses bad been examined in the Mho+ court martial. The prisoner made it a merit, io his cromeexambiatioa of Maier Champion, that be bad applied that Sergeant-Major Lillay's clods arrest should be changed to simple arrest ; but this in itself was strongly condemnatory of Colonel Crawley, who ought to have made the application fourteen days before he did, and the question then arose whether Colonel Crawley was not responsible for all that submqueutly occurred. The Articles of War provided that no person should be subjected to colliery confinement for more than eight days, and in violating this regulation Colonel Crawley bad rendered himself Bible to be cashiered. He then pro ceeded to show by the evidence of various witnesses that Sergeant• Major Lilley and Mrs. Lilley had been subjected to great and grievous hardships by the manner in which the prisoner carried out the order for close arrest. He pointed out the tchick which was hong up did net prevent Mrs. Lilley from beiog annoyed by the presence of a con stantly shifting stranger, not only entitled to be there, but whom duty it was to be there and to watch closely the anovemeate of the household. Such arguments as the prisoner had used in his defence on these points were as easily seen through as the tchick itself. The prosecutor next exaorioed the evidence in reference to the bungalows which had been assigned to S meant -Major Lilley, con tending that with reference to the second bungalow Sir Hugh Rose had been misled, and that if he had known that Sergeant-Major Lilley and his wife were confined to on. room he would, to use his own weeds, have found it "ground for serious disapprobation." Even with regard to the exercise allowed to Sergeant-Major Lilley, the puoishmeot gradually iocreared in severity. At first the sentry went jogging roiled the race-mares with the Ser geant-Major, but afterwards came an order that the sentry should follow 15 or 20 yards in the rear on the parade. ground, so that there might be no conversation between them. This exercise was clearly unsuitable to Sergeant- Major Lilley, as well as degrading, inasmuch as be had been in the habit of riding about a great deal, sod could cot walk mu as Ina feet were bad. Sir A. Hereford thee, at some length, defended the witnesses from the charges of perjury which had been made against them by the pri soner—for, although the prisoner had not used the word perjury, he had carefully insinuated that the witnesses for the prosecution had committed it. The speech occupied Jed two hours. There was considerable applause at the lower end of the mart at the conclusion of the address. Defendant—Yes • something of that sort. Ambrose lifsyea'rd, of Waterloo-road, theatrical agent, deposed that be introduced the plaintiff to defendant. He considered the thing a failure. When the first rehearsal took place the ghost of the waiter appeared on the screen with outstretched arms, his head hanging down, end in general appearmas like a man the worse for liquor. The whams s evidence caused much amusement, for he enacted the part with ranch drollery. Other Pitmans were called in support of the defendant's case. _ _ _ The jury, however, ultimately returned a verdict for the plaintiff—damages 10 'mow. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. Dia 18. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) TITZGIALLD V. ►ITZOLL&LD.—THZ DIFENCE. (Continued from yesterday's Erpress ) Colonel Crawley begged to draw attention to an erroneous statement repeater' several times by the prosecutor in the nurse of his reply, via, that General Metalloid bad stated that there was no evidens to jostify the arrest of the three sergeant-majors. That statement, be wished to observe, was altogether onosed to the evidence. The President —The court will give due consideration to your observation. The o®ci►ting Judge-Advocate then declared the court gloved, and the public were directed to withdraw. Thus after sa inquiry extending over 21 days, the pnblic proceed ings is this important case terminated. The delibera tion of the court upon the *videoce and the addressee of prosecutor and prisoner will, in accordance with the nut. ireful practise of courts-martial, be carried on in private, and the result will not be known until the finding sod sen inn shall have been submitted to and confirmed by the Cenissander-in-Chief. The Queeit's Advocate ooDeluded him speech by a confident hope that the jury would believe the e= Captain and Mrs. Mallet, and would find a verdict for the resiondent..... Major William Huey Dominic Fitzgerald—l am the second son of Lord W. Fitzgerald, and the nephew of the Duke of Leieeter. I wee in the 7th Fusilier Guards. I ' was wounded at the battle of the Alma. I held a staff ap pointment in Ireland. In 1857 I wee at Malvern, ou account 1 of ill-health ; and there I married the petitioner. I had I previously told her father that I was is debt most distinctly; as a bachelor my debts did not in the least embarrass me. I I was made a major a mouth after my marriage ; that was cie mount of distinguished services in the field. My ' debts were to be paid by Mr. Settisworth, but they were not. I wee to have 10,0001. from my father, but 20001. had been spent in purchasing my commission. It is not true that I neglected my wife in Paris. I took her out in the morning shopping. for she had still her trousseau to complete. I dined out twice, and once I west by myself to the Opera Comique ; otherwise I never left bar except to walk in the gardens of the Tuilerim while sin was dressing in a morning. I never ca/led bee father and mother names. She had a fan which was taken to be repaired. It was lost in the hurry of removing from Paris, from which I was auddenlyrecalled. I know nothing about • riding-bat ordered for Mrs. Mffillet. It is not true that on the way to Ireland I said I had never loved her, or that I bad married her only for her money ; there is not a word of truth in the statement. Never called her "an old screw," or • "battered creature," or scything of the kind. I never threw a lister to her and said "There's some of your d— plots again," or stated that the manage was a iamb tioe, or that I hoped she would not be beast enough to have children. lam io fact very food of children. I introduced Mn. Fitzgerald to my friends in Ireland ; and she was re ceived in society. I did not refuse invitations for her with out consulting her. I as ma with • wife tied to my tail. It is well known that Died William Is an invalid and commit be examined. Mies Tufa, my half sister, is with my father. My father never said that if I would not take my wife out would. From the day I entered the army he has never interfered in my Private coocerna I should say that my wife preferred stay ing at home. She had a strougobjection to its being knows that she was in the familyway. I did not fly into • rage off our way to a ball because she had dropped bed glove. I was irritated at being kept waiting, but I did not use the words imputed to me. I knew Mr. Mallet before he was married. We were my intimate, and I desired my wife to share our friendship. - I was obliged to be at my marriage by eleven o'clock, and stayed with my wife till the last moment. My duties were certainly not merely nominal, they were most responsible. I generally went home between au and seven, and I spent my evenings with my wife. I never said her feu was hie a yellow mask. She once told me she had need something to cure her freckles, and I said it was • great pity for I was 1 very fond of them. (Laughter.) I sever disparaged her 1 1 personal appearance. It is not true that I ever attempted to strike her. When she was ill in March, 1858, she bad been to a levee d'adieu to Lord Quints, and also to see the entry of Lord Eglintoa. I remember that she was very cold on that ormiuu, for I remember giving her braode and soda water. She was attended by Dr. Dwyer and Sir Henry Moab. Wlnlst 11110 was ill I had no high words with my father in the &swipe-room ; nor bail I behaved in any manner that would have justified his interfereoce. While any wife was at Dover I visited her as often 22 I could ; but Mn. Bettiaworth and I did not get on well to gether. We did not seem to understood each other. I laver disparaged her ; but I have chatted her about Leech's pretty little pictures is Punch, While at Blackrock I never called her a lump of dirt; or said I had racked my brains for epithets of &bum ; or told her that I was unlucky because I bad net married • fortune. As an officer sod a gentleman I oever advised her to have intrigues with other men. I never could have used the language she has stated that I did. In Deoember, 183 d, she was again ill , and in the family-way. She was attended by Sir H. Marsh sod Dr. Finucane. I never went to my office without receinog a distinct report from the latter gentleman as to her state. When I determined oo coming to England, I dreaded the respunsibi.ity of bringing her over in the condition she am in at that time. The doctors said, however, that she might come • and the idea suggested itself to my own mind to ask Dr. Fioucane to accompany ns as fax u Bangor. When we came to London we stayed but at the Eustis Hotel, from which we removed to Pont-street for a fort night, and then to Chester-street, where my wife wee cootined. Nothing occurred at all like what she bas mid about my forcing her into a chair and injuriag her. Dr. Percy, of Fatou-square, was recommended to her by lady Aso* Shemin. After be had seen her she complained that he bad handled her roughly, and that she felt sure he had killed her child. I replied, " Georgy, I won't allow you to coy anything of that kind in my presence." She contistied her alniTiDol22, and I was particularly elisions about it, feel did not know what tothusit. lust forth. Pettigrew wham 1 bad not previously known, and who lad been recommen ded to me by )Ir. Bettisworth. I never sug gested , that Dr. Percy bad • the child. Aft er m y wife recovery she went 20 Tonbridge Wells with her mother. Oa her return she went to the drawing-room. I weut with her to the opera, mid took her about town. Then we went to Doveroo a visit to her mother, and I began to look about for a country resi deuce. 1 went to Tynan:tootle, where I saw Colonel and Mrs.Bathnret. I saw a place there, but it was too large for us. Party in August we went to the Lakes, to look at another residence. We slept on our way at Warrington, and the next day at lowness. We went on into Soothed, return leg on the 26th of August. We saw the advertisement about linden at Ediaburgh, and that hurried as back. In September we were in Pout-street spill. On the Edinburgh journey I did not Sy iuto • rage, nor did she remind me of the evil consequences of my passion on a previous occasion, or of the death of her child. I never said, "It is too d— cable to bate you with only 10.0001. after all." When 1 saw Mr. Francis, the solicitor, about Braden, I spoke to him of my wife's health, for I was very anxious about her that day. J had an apprebeesion that agitation might affect her health, and I was always trying to keep her quiet. Her Alum at Charles-street was a very mans oss. I generally slept with her, and pureed her with my boatload soul. fly the Judge—The negotiation about Braden was a Ter/ troublesome one. Wits —My wife was a very clever careful woman.

The Lords Justices granted WI extension of time, but dislined to allow the debentures to be substituted for the maul moneY, though they wished to be understood as not saying one word against the substantial value and excel lence of the debentures.

SATURDAY EVENING, nerrr prayed God to get rid of her, or seed the smallest . violence to her, or said that I should like to thrash her within an inch of her life. I to her to kill fifty women. We lived happily together at Braden—very happily. There were two large poplars standing close to the house, which I cut clown with : ber authority, because they made the house very damp. To tell you the truth they followed me about everywhere I went. (Laughter.) They were so talk When my wife came down from Norwood • she burst into tears and asked me why I bad cut them down. I said, "I certainly did wrong not to write to you," and I added, rather sharply, "If I nay not out down trees I am nothing but an agent." I went to Cowes because my wife was always very kind, and anxious that I should be amused. She said, "Lord Motu:delimits always cheers you up—pray go." We corresponded in the most affectionate manner. [A letter from the petitioner was put in, I signed " Yours, Porpina "—which was said to have been a pet name that the petitioner had.] I came back in romp. quince of a letter 1 received. I went 40WII IQ DOtter, and saw my wife and her toOther Oft the steps of their house. I said to myself," I Wonder what is law on the subject- she It KW horrid wife, and has no complaint against me." At j last I forced mys elf into the hones. Afters PA of amicable • 'operation which I thought bad take° pleas 1 determined to place the house in order. In so doing I feted some letters. [Wittier identified a number which were put iu ; amongst them were two anonymous ones, which the re spondent had denied she had written. Cross-examined by Mr. Chambers—l left two other packets of letter' in Braden-h.use. Some of them have been teed is this suit. I selected them. Have loss irri table ever since my wound in the Crimea. The rely dia. piste I had with my wife in Paris was when she was dis satisfied with the price of our rooms. I said rather sharply to her, " Georgy, don't bargain on our hooey-moon tour." (Laughter.) She speska French remarkably well, and we used a good deal of it in our convention. My father is at Blarney. I have not seen him for 18 mouths. My step sister, !din Julia Tulle, takes care of him, and is always with him. When my wife dropped her glove I was what yea might call " snappish." I voted the bell a hove, and wished I was staying at home. Through life I have always been most respectful towards women ; I have never believed wrong of them. I never had high words with my wife in Dublin ; rushed down stairs and went out of the house in a passion. I cannot say that her complexion was yellow ; but her akin was whiter under her hair, and I have asked her to move her hair higher up. When I married her I had not the slightest idea of her age. (Loud laughter.) I know how old she is now, for I have her baptismal certificate from Geneva. She was born on the sth of May, 1875 ; and I was born in 1827. I sent for the certificate when we were in Dublin, because I thought she might possibly want it man officer's widow. I canoot conscientiously say that I gave up any situation in Ireland on her account, but I was biassed by onerideratioo for her when I retired. We were always chaffing each other. I never chaffed her on account of her scarecrow figure ; on the contrary, I thought she hada very pretty me. I used to say the man who drew the figures in Pe at k must have a very peculiar type of womanhood, for all his women were alike, but I said nothing personal to my wife, for I always admired her. I have discussed the intrigues of married wo men with her ; but I never said I believed them. I should be above slandering a married woman—that I should. I belong to the Army sad Navy Club, Pall-mall. I did not dine at Chester-street on the first day we took possession of our house there. I cannot say when I dined there first. Re-examined—Mr. Pettigrew, the brother of Dr. Petti grew, is in China. Dr. Moors and Dr. Dwyer, of Dublin, and Mr. Finucane, of Blaokrock, deposed to the state of the petitioner's health in Ireland. Thetrevidence was to the effect that her miscar riage had been occasioned by the general state of her health, and not from violence ; and that Major Fitzgerald was re markable for the kindness and attention which he exhibited towards hie wife. Mr. Ruck, of Cirenceeter, surgeon, attended the petitioner in 1861. She was suffering, not from spasms of the heart, but from debility. She said nothing to wither about spasms. She mentioned to witness that she feared her husband was ring to talcs laudanum. She wu in • very excited state. oomequenoe of something she said witams west to Dover on the 27th of November, when he saw Mrs. Fitzgerald's mother. She came to London with him ; and on the way Mrs. Bettiaworth said she bad sworn before God that she would never let Major and Mrs. Fit zg erald some together agile. Could not see Mrs. Fitzgerald at Dover except in the preemies of her father and mother. She, therefore. fol lowed witness downstairs, and in shaking hands with rehear she said that the thing was a question of money. Witness had dined with the family, and had come to the same coo elusion himself from the conversation that had passed at table. CrOes•examined—Went to Dover to on the family about this unfortunate diapute. Emma Shelter was formerly a asevaet is the family of Mrs. Bettisworth before her daughter's marriage. Went to Mn. Fitzgerald after her return from Paris, and remained in her service foe some time. Major Fitirgerald's conduct was eztremly kind. The petitioner often told witness bow good he was to bee. Mrs. Fitzgerald said that her mis carriage in Hume street had been canoed by getting a chill when she want to see Lord Eglintos's entry. While she was ill Major Fitzgerald was exceedingly Moil to her. She oactsially used language which ladies did not often do. Had heard her call young ladies "bitches. ," and gentlemen " designing scoundrels ." - She often quarrelled with her mother, end then they would oommunicate with each other by means of notes, although they were living is the same house. Crossexarnised—Left Mrs. Fitzgerald's service the second day after their return to Dover. Was discharged, but it was entirely oaring to her mistress's bad temper. Had since lived two years in the family of Mr. Mowbray Morris. The petitioner often quarrelled with witness ; bat could not lay she was always in the wrong. Wu not la good health, and the butler gave witness wine every day by the major's order,. Had had about a bottle altogether. Mrs. Fitzgerald did not complain that witsees bad the wise without her ksowledge. Believed that she was a very good wife, but she bad a very bad temper. Wu dismissed because she had taken a tly for the Itmgap instead of the omnibus, and that had led to words. Re-examined—Considered that wawa; had been unjustly dismissed. By theudge—Thers was nothing particular in Mrs. Fitsgerald's appearanoe after the ball in Dublin, except that her dress was crushed. (Laughter.) She did not at all excited.aPr Doherty, the nurse who bad attended the petitioner in Dublin, said that nothing could have been kinder than the conduct of Major Fitzgerald. His wife would sometimes speak lightly of him. Mrs. Fitzgerald once iudred witness who a lady was that had called. Described her dress, and the petitioner said, " It's that devil, Mrs. Mallet." The court then adjourned. It was announced that shoat three dozen more witnesses would be called. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCIIIT.—MAIDerows, Dsc. 18.

On Saturday, the 7th of November, they left the lodgings they had occupied to that time, sad it appeared that they west to the house of a Mr. Illachlan, and asked his wife to re commend them • cheap lodging, which she did, and on th e ruse day the prisoner and the deceased took parsnips of their new abode, still passing as man and wife, and appa rently on the moat friendly terms. In the course of the Saturisy they purchased the materials for the Smithy's dinner, and all went on well till the following morning, when the deceased expressed her intention to go to the funeral of • man who had been accidentally killed, and which was to take place at Chatham. Before she left she made some prepsratious for the dinner, and promised the primmer faithfully that she would be home to dine with him. She did not, however, do so, and the prisoner ate his dinner by himself, and there was no doubt that he was very much annoyed at the deceased's conduct and at her stopping away so long. He remained at borne until sic o'clock, who. be went to Mr. li'lachhin's and made some in qubise about the deceased, and was informed that sin was last seen in a pahlie-hease in the neighbourhood, and this appeared to unman his men, and he said that whim she did oome home he would break her nor.

After this the deceased went out main with the M'Lachlens, and she returned home to their home a second time about tea o'clock. The pri soner. who bad remained there waiting for her, than again asked her to return home 'with hum, but she still refused. She was at this time, it appeared, sitting in a chair, and upon her positively refusing to accompany him, the primmer struck her a tremendous blow on the left side of the jaw, which tailed her to the ground, and he then exclaimed," There, I have done with you, you maygo where appeased and he left an went home to bed. The deceased to be I. a very bad state after receiving this blow, sod when the pewee In the house bad washed her face, and dome what they could for ber, she went to the lodging and slept with the primmer. Os the hollowing moraine she wee is as almost insensible condition, and Dr. • surgeon at Chatham, was called in, and he p ela r= for her, and the prisoner appeared to have expressed peat Goren far her, and stopped away from his work is order that he might attend upon her, and during the day be bathed her head with vinegar and cold water, sad did all he wield to a irriateha. sefferiap. About lent eels& in the DECEMBER afternoon the husband of the deceased, who had received some information of what had occurred, went to the room where the wretched WOOS& was lying, and asked the priso ner if he had struck her, and he mid he had not, but that the deceased was the worse for liquor, and that she bad fallen down and hurt herself. The deceased then, it appeared, in the presence of her husband, got out of bed and walked up to the prisoner, and put her arms round his neck, and said, " Jemmy, I love you, you have always been a good man to me." She became quite insensible shortly after this, and died on the following day, and the post-mortem examination left no doubt that the injuries mused by the blow on the left side of the head had occasioned her death. When the Prisoner was taken into custody, it appeared that he admitted having given the deceased what he called " • slap" in the face, and he said be supposed he must suffer for it. With reference to the medical evidence, however, it should be stated that the envie; in *newer to ctneetioei in droes•examiestioa, 'Ceded' that bet for the mark of the blow on the jaw nearly all the appearances that were exhibited upon the postmortem examination ware consis tent with the death having arisen from apoplexy, caused by the quantity of spirituous liquor that had been taken by the deceased. . . Mr. Russell, et the close of the evidence for the prosecu tion, asked his lordship whether he thought there was any cue for the consideration of the jury upon the charge of wilful murder? Baron Pigott said he did not think himself justified ia withdrawing the more serious charge from the jury. Mr. Russell consequently addressed them upon the whole ease, and he contended that there could be no doubt that the prisoner was very much attached to the unhappy woman, and that, even supposing they should be of opinion that the last blow he struck her was the cause of her death, it was clear that he had not the slightest intention of causing such a result. The learned judge having summed up, the jury retired to deliberate upon their verdict, and in about half an hour they returned into court, and found the prisoner Nol Guilty of murder but Guilty of manslaughter. They, however, at the same time strongly recommended him to mercy on ac count of the provocation he had received, and their belief that at the time be struck her he bad no idea that it would be followed by such fatal consequences. His Lordship said he would consider what sentence should be pronounced. At the conclusion of the business, the prisoner James Palmer was brought up for judgment, and the lassoed judge addressing him raid, bethought that, under all the circum stances, the justice of the case would be satisfied by his ordering him to be imprisoned, and kept to hard labour, for three months. The proceeding; of these assizes were brought to a couch ion shortly Liter six o'clock. THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOUSE. Adolphus Oppeaheistt appeared before the Lord Mayor io answer to his bail, to undergo a farther examination upon • charge of defrauding his employer, Mr. Wilson, of Leedom hall-street, chemical colour manufacturer, of about 050!. Mr. Mullen. prosecuted; and Mr. Metcalf, barrister, in structed by Mr. Wontner, appeared for the prisoner. The facts of this case have been repeatedly detailed, and it will be remembered that the prisoner, who wee formerly in bedews for himself as • chemical colour manufacturer, made a composition with his creditors, and Mr. Wilson, the prosecutor, agreed to pay the composition and take what effects the prisoner bad remaining. The prisoner was after wards employed by Mr. Wilson as clerk and traveller, and after some time expressed a wish to be come a partner with that gentleman. This was agreed to by the prosecutor on condition that the prisoner should pay into the business the sum of 1,0001., in addition to 5801., which was the sum Mr. Wilson had lost upon the composition. The prisoner said his uncle would lend him the money, and subsequently paid into Mr. Wil son's account the sum of 7501., but was unable to pay the balance • and thesdeed of partnership was in consequence never driwn up, and the proems?. uncle, who the prisoner mid had advanced the 7501., drew upon Mr. Wilson for the amount, so that the proposed partnership was never carried out. About the beginning of March in the present year, Mr. Wilson had to leave &gland on very urgent business, and authorised the prisoner, in whom he placed extreme confidence, to sign bills and cheques in the name of Wilma and Co., for business purposes, during his absence. After an absenoe of a few weak, the prosecutor returned ; but, being may busily engaged at his manufactory, did sot re voke the authority which he had given the p ri soner. About May, Mr. Wilson was taken so ill that he was un able to attend at all to his business, which was left entirely to the management of the prisoner, who continued under the authority which he held to sign cheques ho. Upon recovering from his illness, Mr. Wilson proceeded to his office, and found the prisoner abeent. There was, however • letter addressed to him, which ran as follows :—" Deai Wilma,— Do not judge me before you see ins again, which will not be long. Forgive me for the trouble I have heaped upon your head, and do not curse your broken-hearted Oppenbeim." Upon seeing this letter, Mr. Wilson proceeded to make inquiries into his affairs, and ascertained that the prisoner had, under the authority which be had given him, drawn • number of cheques which had not been used to carry on his Mainers, but with which be had opened an account in his own name at the London Joint Stock Bank, and had used the money for purposes other than to carry on the business of Mr. Wilson. A warrant was applied for, and the prisoner w s eventually apprehended, and the pre sent examination has been pending since the 9th November, whim,the prisoner WY first placed at the bar. Yesterday several withering were called, the purport of whose evidence was to show that certain cheques, amount ing to 64:1/. Via 11d., which the prisoner had drawn in the name of Wilson and Co. on the prosecutor's bankers, were paid into the prisoner's account at the Loudon Joint Stock, and used to liquidate debt@ which were not connected with Mr. Wilson's business. Mr. Mullein said he had another charge to Mies against the prisoner, of which he would Rive proper not•ce before the trial, or he would ask for another remand, and have the case gone into before his lordship first, whichever Mr. Met calf thought fit. Mr. Metcalf said the case was a very complicated one, to which be wan instructed that a perfect answer could be given, and he would rather have a remand. The prisoner was then formally committed for trial upon the charge of stealing several sums of money amounting to 6431. 13e. lld., and was remanded upon the other charge, being admitted to bail in the same amount as before. BOW-STREET. Alfred Johnson and John Brown were charged with stealing four pewter pots from the Black Prince public. house in Mandan-street. Mr. Chittenden, the landlord, said that for some time past the prisooen had been in the habit of coming to the bones together, and after they bad left pots were missed on several occasions. On Thured►y night they had been drinking some beer at the bar, and Johnson went out at the hack. Presently the waiter called attention to Johnson, who was coming upstairs from the place where the pots are cleaned. Witness was about to stop him, but begot by and ran away, secompttaied by Brown. They were pursued, and at the corner of Endell-street one of them dropped a quart pot. When they were stopped three other pots were found on Johnson, two in his pockets and one in the leg of his trousers. Johnaoo said that Brown had nothing to do with it. Mr. Henry—You are called upon to defend yourself, not Brown. Johnson What are people to do? A fellow caa't starve. I have no father nor mother. • Mr. Henry—You say you are 22 years of age. You ought to be able to get your own living. Johnson—Trade is so slack I can't earn enough to keep me. Brown--I stole no pot. I stole nothing from no one. As it was understood that there were several other charges against the prisoners they were remanded for further in quiry. THE POISONING CABs IN LZICIRTRIOIHIRE.—The adjourned inquiry into the circumstances connected with the death of Emma Hutchins was resumed yesterday morn ing at the Horse Shoe lon, Waltham. Mr. Morgan pro duoed some additional evidence with reference to the post mortem appearances, and then detailed the particulars of the analysis, which clearly showed that a great quantity of arsenic was found in the viscera. At the conclusion of his evidence the coroner summed up, and the jury returned a verdict of " Wilful murder against John Hutchins." He was accordingly committed on the coroner's warrant. SKINNING • 1)00 Aloha.—Yeeterday, at the county magistrates' office at Rochester, Nathaniel Brazier and Isaiah Francis, labourers, were charged, by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, with cruelly torturing • dog on the 12th inst. by flaying it alive. Mr. Frail, instructed by Mr. Colam, the secretary, prose cuted, and Mr. Rosati appeared for the prisoners, who had been apprehended oc a warrant by the officer of the Royal Society. Mr. Frail said he was instructed to press for the heaviest possible penalty, as the offence wu one of the worst ever brought before a court. It appeared, from the evidence of a lady and other respectable w Ramses, that the prisoners were actually engaged in cutting off the skin from a dug while alive, and were so engaged for about half an hour, under the sea wall at Gillingham ; and that upon being disturbed they threw the wretched and mutilated animal Into the Medway, when it struggled violently, and was ultimately drowned by one of the prisoners holding it wider water with a scull or oar. For the defence it war contended that the throat war cut pre. Mouldy, but on a recall of the witness it was shown that this was not done until baltamhour after the bead and body and hind legs had been flayed. The Rev. Mr. Formby (chairman of the bench) said it was with great pain the magistrates had felt it their duty to convict the prisoners. In all his experience be had Dever bendy/fa seare grew case of cruelty. The evidence was very conclusive, and it was most grssifyiag that there existed a society energetic and dairies to Famish °fleeces spinet dumb salmis. The prisoners would be committed to Maidstone pal for two months with bard labour. DR.

COTTON.—LniatrooL, DEC. 18.—There has bees a conaderable reaction this week, sad the demand has ben chiefly of a retail character, ea frequetly happens when the close of the year approaches. Americao descriptions have given way SAL per lb., with only a limited amount of bull ass. In Egyptian sales have been made at vary irregular prioss, setablishiog an average decline of about id. per lb. There has been very little inquiry for any brad of Brazil, and quotations, which are reduced about Id on the current qualities, must be considered nominal The better qualities of Bursts have given way about gd. per lb., while the End. dling and lower descriptions, of which kinds an natisially large portion of the recent import consists. are fully It down, and difficult to sell is any quantity. Tinnivelly Madras is 4c1., and Westerns cheaper. In Bengal and Scinde there is also about 4d. and in Chinu Id. per 10. reduction. At the decline gated the market closes very quietly. Specula ton have taken 470 ASINItiOIII3, 40 Forum, 210 Egyptiin, 40 Smyrna, 3,620 Burst, 410 Bengal, 26U Madras, and Ltd Chios, total 5,180 bales ; and there are reported for export, 10,310 bales, viz., 1,000 Ameriosa, U2O Pernam, Yugo, 210 Egyptian, 180 Smyrna, 6,370 Surat, 200 Andras 1,030 Bengal, and 100 China. The market to-day opens with only a very moderate inquiry ; potable sa es about 3,000 bales, including 1,000 on speonlatue sad foe export. 00/TON GOODS.—Mmicnitarn, Dec. 18.—The un natural calm which has so long prevailed in this market still exists, and there is a sort of feeling as to something that will takeiplace affecting the market, thought not as to what that something will be. Amongst a great number of people there is an impression that prices will go lower, but that feeling is by no means general. There has been a shade better feeling in the yarn market to-dsy, but it has not re sulted in RD actual increase of business. Yarns are abut Id. per lb. lower, but for the present the downward tendency seems to be checked a little as Bierman of the quire during the day. In cloth we have had a little more in quiry, especially for shirting. and long cloths, but such goods are generally required for immediatedelivery, and that does not suit manufacturers, and the prices offered in nearly all cases have been below what sellers are disposed to accept. The husioess done has been very small, sad a 'mural appre. hension prevails, in the clothrisors than the yarn market, that lower prices will rule. Manufacturers are talking more and more of a determination to stop their mills unless the price of cotton declines so as to give them a better chance of working to advantage. Buyers will not give a price for goods to corer the present cost of cotton, and an Se preasion exists that many manufacturers will close at Christmas for a month at least. There are some spin ners and manufacturers who have engsgements which will run into February and March, and who must of 0011 M keep open their mills ; and others making a c 1.41 of goods which are not so much affected by price, who mai also be expected to continue worksog. CONN.—CHELMSFORD. Dec. 18. —The supply of wheat was good at todey'e market, and the demand very dull, at • decline of Is. per qr. Barley, except for the duvet, is very dialed' to sell ; in fact there seems no demand for secondary qualities. Beans rather lower. LINCOLN, DEC. 18.—We have had a fair attendance at oar market to day, but the trade of wheat and barley has been very dull, sod prices of both gave way la per quartet. No change in other mutinies. Wheat, red, 37a. to 405.; white, 40e. to 43a. ; barley, 265. to 345. ; oats, 19s. to 245. ; beam, 345. to 38e. LrviarooL, D.C. 18.—We have had only a poor attend ance st to-day'smsrket, sad quite a moderate extent of Vali. nese. Wheat remains steady at the reduction of 2d. per cental, but holders of flour would be glad to maks a further slight mementos to promote business. lodise corn is totally neglected, and 3d. per quarter cheaper. All other articles are dull of axle at the decline previously quoted. It is rather early to begin the holidays yet, but our market to-day certainly partakes very much of that character. WAKEFIELD, DEc. 18.—The wheat trade was slow, and the business dote was at rates rather below last Frida)' , Fine barley eru unaltered, sod other sorts in limited demand.
