Yesterday afternoon Dr. Lankester, coroner for Central Middlesex, resumed and concluded, at the Florence Tavern, Florence-street, Upper-street, Islington, the in. quiry respecting the death of Elizabeth Anne Hunter, aged nearly eight years, who was decoyed away and murdered on the night of Sunday, the 30th March, 1862. The Coroner addressed the jury, and said—You will recollect, gentlemen, that at the last sitting of the court • great number of witnesses were examined, but there was nothing at that time which seemed to enable you to retain a verdict of • direct kind, and we accordingly adjourned for a fortnight to see if any evidence would be forth coming that would connect Clarke, who was accused of the murder, with the crime of which be was charged. lie WAS since brought up before the police-court, and the go vernment, after careful consideration of all the information obtainable, decided to abandon that charge against him. It is still open to you to see whether there is enough of evidence to enable you to send him for trial before another tribunaL With regard to the other offences with which he is now charged you have nothing to do except in so far as they show the character of the man and the consequent probability or otherwise of his being guilty in the present case. It is certainly • strong ground of suspicion against him, that he should twice have taken little girls into the same greenhouse, and that be should have placed • handkerchief over the face of oue of them, for lit was no doubt in that way Elizabeth Hunter met her death. She was taken into the greershouu for the purpose of an in decent assault most probably without any intention of committing • murder, and in the attempt tomtit% her cries ahe was unintentioully deprived of life. The inci dent of the rings which came to light on the last occasion would seem to furnish a reason for keeping the owe against Clark open. That evidence, which, but for the sudden death of the boy who bought the rings, might have been moat material, came to light unexpectedly. If the jury think it probable that a further adjournment might produce other evidence. the court could be adjourned, not sine die, but from time to time. There is the evidence of the boy who was in Roe's employ when the head was foundlast December, and which it ass thought might bed use ; but that boy ts in Canada, and even his mother is un able to state in what pert of that country he is living. You will bear in mind, that Clarke, whatever course you decide upon, will still be within reach of 'the police and the criminal worts. You will consult now as to whether there is enough of evidence against Clarke to enable you to return • verdict against Lim, or whether you will adjourn for further evidence ; or, lastly, whether you will now re turn an open verdict. By the requeet of the jury the evidence of Mrs. Jeanie, the landlady of Clarke, was read over. It was to the effect that Clarke was locked out of the house by Roe's orders ou the night of March 30, that be endeavoured to get is about half-put it, and that be was refused admittance, and that the next morning he said he had slept overnight in the greenhouse. The evidence of Mary Leigh, the witneen foe Clarke, was else reed. It was to the effect that she called at Mrs. Clarke's house on the sight in quesi ion about 11 o'clock, and that Clarke opeced the door for her. The court was then cleared, and after half an hour's de liberation the jury returned the following verdict :—"That on the 6th day of July the said Elizabeth Acne Hunter was found dead, and her remains in as advanced state of decay, in norsery•grouod, in William- street. New North-rued. Islington, and the jurors say that the said Elizabeth Atm Hooter mom by her death by violent meths the nature of which there is no evidence to show, and the said jurors farthersay that the said Elizabeth Anne Hooter was mali ciously moidered by some person or persons unknown." The proceedings then terminated. DINTRUCTION or • COTTON-MILL BY FIRE. —The most destructive fire ever winnowed at Sowerby•bridge, Halifax, occurred tote on Wednesday eight, wh en one o f th e large cottee.milla of Mewl. John Radcliffe and Sons, West. end, was speedily laid in ruins. Messrs. Radcli ff e's mills are built in the form of • vinare, a yard being in the middle. One side of the quadrangle is rounded by the river Ryburs, and on the opposite wide by the Halifax and Blackstone-edge turnpike.read. Along another aide is a street, and on the fourth are some low buildings. The portion of the square destroyed is the side to the Ryborn. The mill was five stories high, and perhaps forty yards long. During the depth of the cotton calamity, the mill was at a stand. Latterly • considerable quantity of new machinery has been introduced into the mill, to keep pees with the changing feature of the c o tt on trade. It is rid that not lees than 3,0001. has been expended in the mill in this way, and workmen were emerged is putting in machinery up to the evening the place wss consumed. The mill has been running for • short time. The Are broke out in one of the upper stories of the building. It was discovered about eight o'clock, and Fre engines were sent for from Hali fax, there being none whatever at Sowerby•bridge, although their necessity has been before the manufacturers of that hive of industry for several years. Before the arrival of the eagle's—the Leeds and Yorkshire and the Halifax Coe peration " Amazon "—the mill was laid in ruins. The flames spread rapidly and boned fiere. At one time flame@ were inning from every wind ow tithe mill. The destruction was completed in lies than two hours. The Ave brigades directed their energies to the prevention of the 'atomics' of the flames to the other premwes in proximity. This object was happily effected, partly from the efforta of the firemen, and from the stone wall. interveebig between the fire and the other property. How the fire originated is not known. The damage cannot yet be known. but it is roundly estimated at between 15.0001. and 20,0001.

As briefly stated in our Thuradity'e impression an alarming accident %curved on Thursday, at • brigade review of the Devon Countz Volunteers, on Little Halelown Down, near Teigumouth. The following details are hum the Wtstern Nursing News :--•• Jest after the last rank of the volunteers had passed the inapectiug officer tLere wore a noise and • cry which sent a thrill of horror among the crowd. A guano. hi the direction of the grand stand, whence the crash proceeded, at once revealed the cause of alarm. The whole of the interior &Mogi of the stand, which was crowded with spectators, bad suddenly given way, and ap palling screams were raised by the unfortunate women who were buried in the debris. Everybody present rushed to the scene of the disaster, some to help and some to gratify their curiosity. For • few minutes it was supposed that several lives must have been lost, and intense excitement prevailed. Within the enclosure the esene was truly awful. Men stood appalled at the frantic cries proceeding from the ladies, who were seen jammed between or buried beneath the timbers. As soon as possible they were extricated, and a search commenced for those who were beneath. There were several surgeons on the spot, fortunately, who were ready to tender assistance to the maimed, of whom, we regret to say, there were several ; hilt, happily, no fatal result op to the time of our most recent informa tion attended the accident. The under part of the stand was occupied be Mr. Gifford, of Exeter, for the sale of refreshments. When the floor of the stand gave way there were several persons beneath, among whom were Mrs. Gifford, • man who was assisting, and a female assistant named Mrs. Shute. As soon as the debris was partially removed, it was found that Mrs. Gifford was very severely injured, and that the man bad sustained a severe fracture of the leg. Mrs. Shute was still more seriously hurt, and her face presented a most painful spectacle, not only from the discoloration of the skin, but also from cuts and bruises. It was at first thought that the unfortunate woman was dead; but having been re moved on a shutter to the open ground, she received medi cal treatment, and soon recovered consciousors ; although wears informed that the surgeon is doubtful whether she will survive the internal injuries which she has received. Mrs. Gifford and the man were removed to ao ambulance under the care of Assistant-Surgeon May, 2nd Devon • and the more seriously injured were convey.. dto the Infirm ary at Teignmoutb. Among those who sustained minor injuries were—Mrs. Hayes nod Mies Glidden, of rt G:orge-street, Davoupo ; Mr. Bort, watchmaker, Devooport, and Miss Vanstone ; Mr. Picken, of Whimple-street ; Mr. Sbapcott, eailmaker, and several others whose names we could not aseertaio. It was also smarted that a little boy had his leg broken, but we were unable to verify the rumour. For a long time after the sufferers had bean extricated a scene of indescribable confusion prevailed in the stand, crowds rushing in to know the extent of the calamity, whilst others came in search of missing articles of jewellery and wearing apparel, of which there was • motley collection. These were beeped together by the police—hate, opera glasses, wigs, parasols, brooches, bounele, and some of the owners were ob'iged to go hailer away, in consequence of the very jealous care exer cised by the officials. The cause of the accident was stated to be the very inefficient manner io which the edifice was constructed. Notwithstanding that the stand was full, the person in charge is said to have pressed others to ascend, until the weight was greater than the structure Sri in tended to bear, and it gave way In the centre, the occupants falling together in a mass. The builders were Messrs. Stafford, of Exeter. The accident was not so serious as at one time it was believed to be ; but it is to be feared that many persons will suffer from the consequences for a long time to come." RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. LONDON AND SOUTH WESTERN. The directors' report, to be presented to the shareholders at the meeting on the 13th August, states that the half yearly accounts to the :10th June show the revenue for the six mouths, after deducting interest on loans and all other preferentialk charges, to be 164,905/. lie. Id., which with the addition of the surplus at December. 1862, 3,039/. Is., shows a balance available for dividend of 167.945/. 2s. Id. Froestbe above sum the directors recommend that a dividend be declared at the rate of 41 per cent. per annum, payable on the 24th of August. amounting on 7,425,564/. 13e. 4d. of paid-up capital to 167,0751. 4s. Id., leaving to le carried over to the current half-year 869/. 18e. The gross revenue of the company for the half-year exceeds that of the corresponding period of 1862 by 67,017/. This may partly be attributed to the traffic of the North Devon and Bideford lines being brought into account ; but ins.- much as the reosipte of the spring of 1862 were favourably affected by the Exhibition traffic during the months of May and June. the increase cannot but be taken as satisfac tory, and as showing • general improvement in the ordinary bosuns. of the company. The rate of interest on the mortgage debt remains at about the same rate as hut re ported. No money is now being taken up at • higher rate than 4 per cent. The last bonds atlper cent. were paid off in the present month. The West London Exten sion Railway between Kensington and Clapham junc tion was opened for traffic on the 2nd March, and the Chard Railway on the Bth May. The opening of the Stokes Bey Railway and Pier took place in April last, since which period the line has been worked by . this company on the tenon authorised by the proprietors in 1858, and it is believed that the additional facilities thus afforded will not fail to increase the traffic to and from the Isle of Wight. The Bishop's Waltham branch was opened on the 6th of June, and the Kingston-bridge line on the Ist of July. From the West London Extension and the King ston-bridge lines good resulta may confidently be anticipated. The works on the Petertdield Railway are proceeding satis factorily, and there seems no reason to doubt that they will be completed for traffic at latest in the ensuing spring. At the last half-yearly meeting the proprietors authorised the purchase of the Southampton and Netley Railway. Ar rangements to that effect have been completed, an act has been passed in the present session for certain necessary de viations, and steps have been taken for the immediate com mencement of the works, which are by no mean. heavy, and will probably be completed in about • year and • half from the present time. The directors are informed that arrange , menta have been made for the immediate execution of the works on the line from Colebrook on the North Devon Rail way to Okebampton. A worki og agreement was provisionally made with the promoters of tt.is line whilst the bill was in parliament in the session of 1862, subject to the confirma tion of • special general meeting of the company. This agreement having been now reduced into formal shape will be submitted to the meeting, and recommended for its adoption. The Thames Valley Railway Company have com menced the construction of their railway from Twickenham through Hampton and Sunbury to Shepperton ; when com pleted it is to be worked by this company on terms defined in its act of incorporation. In order to provide for the in creasing requirements of the Channel Islands traffic, the directors bare entered into a contract for the construction of a fast paddle-wheel steamer, which has been launched, and will be ready to be placed on the station in the present month. This vessel embraces in her construction all modern improvements, and it is believed will be found all that can he desired in speed and in accommodation for passengers. The bill; introduced by the company into parliament in the erasion just closed has become law, and by it new and useful powers have been secured to the company. The Chard and Peterstield Railways have been amalgamated with the company : provisions having been enacted for authorising further arrangemenre (subject to the meanie of the pro prietors) with the Ringwood and Christchurch and the Bi shop's Waltham Railway Companies ; and with the Brighton Company as to the joint ownership of the Epsom and Lea therhead Railway. An act has also been pasted for amal gamating the undertaking of the Andover and Redbridge Railway with that of this company. A contract has been entered into for the completion, by the ensuing spring, of the 13 miles of this railway between Ramsey and Andover, and the company's engineer is attending to the necessary preliminaries for placing the remainder of the line under contract By these acts the company hes acquired the power to rare in shares or stock, and by borrowing, the further amounts ne cessary to replace the past and provide for the future ex penditure of the company upon the Peters6eld, the Chard, and the Andover and Redbridge lines, including the new junctions authorised between the latter and the existing lines of this company at Andover and at Romney. Such having been the result of the company's application to parliament in the session just closed, the directors add that several new railways have been authorised at the in stance of independent companies, via :—An extension of the Ringwood and Christchurch Railway to Bournemouth; an extension of the Sidmouth Railway to Bodine. Salter too ; • branch from Wareham to Swanage. In thanes of the Sidmouth and Budleigh Salterton Act, a resolution will be submitted and recommended to the adoption of the meet ing, for approving the provisions in that eat which autho rise working arrangements with this company. With all these new uodertakinp the board have established friendly relations not involving outlay by this company. Other schemes with which also the board was prepared to enter into working arrangements have not succeeded in obtaining the sanction of parliament—via, an extension of the North Devon line from Brieniteple to Ilfracombe, and of the Epsom and Leatherhead Railway to Guildford. Each `A . these measures is likely to be renewed in the next session o parliament, and the directors believe that each will be pro' muted under circumstances entitling it to be favourably regarded by this company. It has been the duty of the directors during the past sessions to oppose no less than ten schemes for new railways calculated to affect prejudicially the interests of the company ; of these, six were withdrawn, two were rejected on dandier; orders, and the remaining two were defeated in committees of the House of Lords. The directors deplore the expenditure incident to these repeated contests, but they have at least the setisfactiou of knowing that in every instance the threatened mischief has been successfully parried. Such, however, is the per tinacity and ingenuity with which each schemes are de signed, and such the favour with which each locality receives the promise of additional accommodation, that look ing at the proceedings already initiated for the ensuing ses sion of parliament, the monetary must, if they would per manently ward off these invasive measures, be prepared in some instances to incur expenditure in new works which they may not deem wholly necessary, and which the board would, on their account, gladly avoid. In any proposal thus to meet the public requirements the company may, as the directors believe, rely on the support of committees of parliament, which certainly in the last session indicated more strongly than heretofore an intention to protect exit ing interests against new and speculative measures. The proprietor+ may rely that the directory are as much desirous of rest as the general body of shareholder., and will recom mend nothing for their adoption which is not in their judg ment fully justified on a sound appreciation of the perms. nent intereets of the company. July last, their lordships were pleased to grant the applica tion for setting aside the award. It will consequently be come necessary that the matter should be again investigated by Captain Gahm), unit until Isis award in obtained the pig ment of the dividend to the shareholders of the Great Eastern Railway Company must be postponed. It will be in the recollection of the shareholders that the lice from Chatieris to Ramsey was pointed in consequence of an application by other parties for an independent line from Itaimaiy to St. lees, which, in the hands of the Great Northers Railway Company, would have given item direct acmes from their main line to the station of this company at St. Ives. By an arrangement made with the promoters of this line both schemes were abandoned in the last session, upon the understanding that this company is the next session will themselves promote a line from Ramsey to St. Ives, and thus retain the control in then own bands. In the last session the directors pro moted • line on behalf of this company from March to Spalding, the Great Northern promoting • line from their station at Spalding to the station of this company at March. The committee of the House of Commons threw out the bill promoted by this company, and granted that promoted by the Great Northern • but, in the House of Lords, tossing powers were secured to this company over the line of the Great Northern Company to Spalding. It will remain for consideration whether by means of as independent company or otherwise, access should be se cured into the coal and manufacturing districts of lan esshire and Yorkshire, to as to give to this company some of the great advantages arising from that traffic. The shareholders are aware that in the last session • project was introduced into parliament by this company for shorten ing the line from Tottenham by means of a branch to join the line of the North London at Kingaland, and for the construction of a central terminus in Finsbury-circus. This measure encountered such powerful opposition from various quarters, but mainly from the London Institution, and other occupants of the circus, that the bill was thrown out in the Lords upon the second reading, end was not there fore submitted to committee of either house. The direc tors however have the satisfaction of feeling that the views they entertain, and have expressed, as to the necessity of bringing the terminal station of this company nearer to the City, have been fully coofirmed by the report of the select committee appointed by the House of Lords to inquire generally into the ennui of bi-- tropolitan Railway communication, that committee having reported in favour of such • station by the Great Eastern Railway Company alone, and having recommended that for the present no other of the great companies should be aEowed to bring their stations farther into the metropolis. The question of a central station will therefore occupy the serious attention of the directors before the next no sting of parliament, the necessity for that accommodation as well as for the more convenient conduct of the goods traffic to coming daily more urgent. After • very strenuous oppo. cities the bill for authorising the running of steam boats between the ports of Harwich and those of Antwerp, Rot terdam, and Flushing, was passed by the committees of both houses. The directors anticipate • greet ac cession of traffic between those ports. In carrying out the policy of the director to encourage branch lines, in connetioo with the lines of this company, arrangements have been made for contributing to several undertakings of a local character, which have already been brought under the attention of the shareholders. It now therefore becomes necessary to have the formal sanction of the proprietors to the proposed outlay, the resolutions for which purpose sill be submitted to them at the special meeting to be holden after the conclusion of the busmen of the general meeting. The lines already authorised to be constructed by this com pany between Sudbury and Bury St. Edmund's and Cam bridge end Loughton and Ongar are in course of construc tion, and no endeavours will be spared to secure their open ing at as earl y a period as possible. The Ware, Hadhair, and Buntinglord Railway is now completed and open for traffic, and the directors are able to state that it promises to be remunerative. The contract for the Bishop s Stort ford and l)unmow works has now been taken by an eminent contractor, and the construction of the line will be proceeded with as soon as the necessary forms have been complied with." --- FATAL GUN ACCIDENT. A sad catastrophe occurred on Thursday at Exeter, by which Martha Winson, a tailoreas, aged 18, lost her life. The deceased young woman was sitting at work at a table, in the house of her employer, Mn. Brannam, :32, Codninton-nreet, when the son of that person, Abraham Branner°, a mason, 18 years of age, came in to dinner. Presently, it appears, he took upt e rn which was in the as room, and w loaded and cap ; but Brain= does not appear to have known the tact, for while be was handling it the charge exploded, and a quantity of small shot went through the deceased's head, entering at one ear and pas•iog out at the other. The poor girl fell back ward, and died almost immediately. A surgeon was in attendance at once, but his services were of course uneven mg. The face and bead of the deer:as - A were terribly shattered, and every one on the spot was horror-stricken at the event. No one appeared more affected than the young man who had occasioned the fatality, who was shortly afterwards led away in the custody of the police. An inquest on the body of the deceased was held at the Windsor Castle Inn, Summerland-etreet, before the city coroner, in the after-part of the day. The mother of the deceased. who resides is Runelletreet, identified the body of her daughter. Having heard of the accident, she at rived at the house in time to see the deceased draw one breath and expire. The chief witness was Sarah Ann Bremner, with whom the deceased bad slept the previous night. She was at work in the room when the disaster occurred, and Abraham Braunani was also there, and he gave an apple to deceased and to witness A few minutes afterwards he rose from his seat, took a gun from the miner of the room, and began to rub it with his hands se if to clean it. De ceased then got up and went to a cupboard to take out an iron, and while she was doing so a dog came in. Abraham Brannam said to the dog, "Here, Charlie," and it ran behind the deceased girl and made a noise ; at that moment the deceased stooped down, and the gun went off, and she fell backwards. Brannam caught bold of witness, and exclaimed "She 'a dead, she 'a dead," and ran out of the room screaming like a madman. The gun belonged to Mr. Thorn. It was used a few days ago. Witness did not know that it was loaded. There had been no ill-feeling be. tween Branum and demand, and not five minutes before he had kneed deceased. Maria Shears gave evidence to the same effect, sad John Harvey, a butcher, of S. Sidwella, said that that morning he had met Brannam on Fore-street hill, when he said be should go out shooting sparrows in the afternoon. Brannam expressed his regret at the occur- Noce, which, he said, was purely accidental.— Wesfern Morning News.

LARGE EXPORTS OF COTTON FROM CHINA.—By the Chum mail which has just reached Liverpool we learn that two ships, the Storm King. with 3,906 bole*, and the Otitis Howard, with 2,506 bales, had left Shaoghae for the Mersey. The arrival of cotton, however, at Shaogbae from the interior had been much retarded owing to ready moue; being at • premium. Trade was dull, and unsatis factory amounts from the North gave little or no prospect, of improvement. Freights were quoted for Liverpool at 41. to 41. 55., at which rates the following engagements had taken place—viz., the Empress of India and Ornsogaody ; the West Derby, of Liverpool, bad been chartered to take troops to England. In addition to the two first-named ships, the Grenadier, Opbir, ad Oxus were loading for Liverpool. At Hong Koog a good demand existed the sales having during the fortnight amounted to 13,700 bales. The export trade was dull, and but for the annual demand for tea.clippers the market had tot a redeeming feature. The Chrysolite. E.T.L., and the Jura were on the berth for the Hersey. At Canton there were 7,409 bales ready for shipment. Psreourum.—Notwithstanding the report of Dr. Trench, the medical officer of health for the borough of Liverpool, to the effect that there is no evidence to prove that pretoleum is injurious to health, the inhabitants of Bootle and its neighbourhood are making strong remoiri etrauces on the subject, and some medical men have given it as their opinion from personal visitation that • good deal of suffering and sickness hes actually been caused by Petro. leum. At the last meeting of the Health Committee it was stated that the chief nuisance amen from the mode in which petroleum wee stored on the dock quays. Reprasentatioo• on this subject are to be made to the Mersey book Board, in order, if possible, to iodate thatbody to prevent petroleum being Mandan the dock quays for any length of time, It L believed that, if the importers were compelled to use her• metically sealed cask', instead of the indifferent barrels em ployed by many of the dealers at present, comparatively LOU annoyance would be caused. APOPLEXY AND licroxicamox. —Yesterday even ing Mr. Wm. Payne. the City comber. held an inquiry at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, respecting the death of Hr.

The report of the directors to the half-yearly mortice. to be held on Thursday, shows the receipts to be 720,2491. 16..

The above balance. e ther with the sum of 15,190/. 19s. 5d., the surplus after the payment of the divideud for the half•year ending the 31st of December. last make a total of 59,503/. Os. ltd. ; this amount, leas the deductions set forth in the general revenue account, will admit of a dividend for the halt.year at the rate of 14 per cent. per annum, being paid on the ordinary stocks of the company. This will require 52,2461. 15s. 3d. ; leaving 3,2561. sa. 31 to be carried forward. The expenditure on the capital account for the put half year has been chiefly incurred for the purchasedf land for the new lino, and in payment for works executed under the con tract for their construction. In addition to which a sum of 34,132/. be. been e• needed for rolling stock required to meet the exigencies of the service, sod for the working of the extra mileage since the Amalgamation Act. The working expenses for the half-year are 4&. 19s. 7d. percent. The rol ling stock continues to be maintained ir.• ante of efficieocy. The revenue of the amalgamated lines for the past half yea exhibits an increase of 28,289/. over the same period of 1862. The directors have looked forward with much interest to the results of the working of the whole system . of the Great Eastern Railway for the last half year, as this is the first period in which all the liabilities incidental to the &maga mation have bad to be sustained, more especially as the matures which have been adopted for promoting the general traffic, now that the whole system is consolidated, have been only partially in operation, and the full effects have yet to be realised. They have also given their atten tion to the question as to the amount which ought to be charged to revenue for maintaining in cemplete efficiency the whole of their rolling stock, permanent way, and the recoil stmctionof the bridges. As regards the permanent way, the engines . and bridges, they see no reason for departing from the pnociple explained to the proprietors at their last meeting, but they now propose, for the first time, to lay aside a large usual sum as a provision for keeping up the ruling and other working stock, thus affording to the propnetors a correct but, whereby to judge of the prospects of the undertaking ; and it is the opinion of the directors that the results of the past half-year, taking all the circum stances into consideration, are of a satisfactory character. When the last report was made to the shareholders the amount of the claims of the Futons Union and East Suffolk Railway Companies, which had been referred for settlement to Captain Gallon, had not been ascertained. The director were, however, enabled at the subsequent meeting to report the amount of stock which had been awarded to the East Suffolk Company, sod subsequently to Trey to the share holders the dividend then declared, Captain Gallica having determined the amount of fixed attaching to the Eastern Union Company, INC exceeded by 4,178/. per anon= the amount at which they had been taken in arranging the terms of the anialgamatioe, and one moiety of that .slllll was therefore deducted from the dividend upon the amount of stock allocated to them. An application was afterwards made on the part of the re mounting of the Raglan Union Compsny to set aside Captain Galton's sward. This application was dhariesed by VirroChaseellor Wood; brit es an appeal to the Lords Jading, which ease es for Waring en the 24th day of ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCIIIT.—CROYDON, Are.VST 7. Baron Channel was engaged the whole day in trying a common jury cause that was commenced no Thursday, and which was of the most dull and uninteresting character. Baron Bramwell disposed of four special jury cases, but none of them furnished materials for a report. The whole of the common jury causes down to No. 73 will be in to-day's (Saturday) list, and six special jury causes, commenting with Hastie and another v. Lacombe, will be planed on the Cat for trial before Baron Bramwell. THE POLICE COURTS. GUILDHALL. Two respectably-dressed men, named Spark, and Geet, were placed at the bar, the former charged with stealing, and the latter with receiving, a quantity of fat, knowing it to have been stolen. From the evidenoe of Smith. the detective officer of the City police, it appeared that he and another officer named Legge received information that a great deal of proF arty had for some time beep disappeatiog from the pennies of Menus. Beebow and Co, 12, Little Britain. Certain cir cumstances transpired, and Sparks was taken into custody on suspicion of being the person who had stolen the fat, and then both officers proceeded to 27, Hackney-oval, where they took Gent, who earned on the business of a manufric• taring perfumer, into custody. They told him of the robbir7, and afterwards searched the house, when tliey discovered two tin cans which had contained fat. On being askcd to explain bow he became possesecd of the property, he said he had bought it, in the regular way of trade, from a per son who had called upon him. They then took him into custody, and when they arrived at the station house Spa:' s was brow,ht from his cell, and Gent waa asked if that was the person r f whom he had bought the fat ; he replied that it was, and said he had no idea it had been stolen. Before they took Gent from the house his wife case about to make some observation, when he immediately checked hic and told her to be quiet, and say nothing. There were three or four boys at work in one of the back rooms filling pomade pots, but when he (Smith) searched the prisoner Gent's hal ide, he could hardly find a single invoice or receipt for pay ment of material. with which be carried on his trade. Some further evidence having been given, the prisoners were remanded mad Wednesday next.
