LAW INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.) MICHAELMAS TERM. This was the first day of Michaelmas Term. The Lord buceller on this occasion departed from the usual custom receiving the judges and the leading members of the her A his private residence, and held hie levee in the Hall of the Middle Temple, of which his lordship is a leacher. The attendance was very numerous. A large topcoats@ of ►persons had assembled in Westminster Hall prior to their lordships' arrival, to wham the ceremony of evening the term—if the term ceremony can be applied to the mere act of the judges walking into their respective courts, and taking their seats on the bench attired in their full wigs and scarlet robe., the chiefs with their gold chains of office. The Queen's counsel and eerie's& appear on the brat day of term in full dress, and wearing their full bottomed wigs. The judges in the Court of Queen's Bench were ford Chief Justice Cockburn, and Justime Wightmaa, Blackburn, and Mellor; in the Exchequer, the Lord chief Baron, and Barons Bramwell and Chanson ; Jed in the Common Pleas, Lord Chief Justice Erie, and ,Itetioes Williams, Keating, and Byles. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goa'barn.) NEOFDOTE4 OF A TRADER-DEBTOR SUMMONS. In the case of a trailer-debtor common', Mr. Lawrence, on behalf of the defendant, took the objection that the par ticulars of demand were not expressed with "reasonable end convenient certainty," as required by the act. In this caw it did not appear whether the sum sought to be recovered had been advanced in one corn, or several, or at what d►tes, and no account was annexed to the partaculars of demand. After hearing Mr. Beethatn for plaintiff. He Honour allowed the objection, and &mimed the stUTDOOS. IN BS BEATER. the bankrupt, a doper, offiro;snlow.road, applied for his discharge. Debts, 1,3004 ;no assets. AWndge opposed. It appeared that the bank rapt bad compounded with his creditors two y ea n ago, rayon them about 3s. 6d. in the pound. He had included those creditors in his present balance-sheet. He was now io .1 situation as warehouseman, receiving a salary of 1001. a year... _ .11;ffonour mid he supposed the so-called oomposition wits like too many tranuctions of that kind, where certain favoured creditors were paid a few shillings in the pound on their debts, and the rest got nothing. The discharge ',fluid be suspended for six months, on the ground of con. meting debts without probable means of paying them. .TRADER-DEBTOR SUM 1110N8.-DI4PUTZD A C COUNT. In this case a summons had been taken out forl9o/. 31r. Howard appeared in support of the summons. Linklater, for the defendant, admitted the whole of the debt except 70/., and asked that the defendant should not be celled on to give a hood, as the debt arose upon a dis puted account embracing a great number of items, which would have to be inquired into by a jury. His Honour said the question appeared to be a proper ore for trial, and he should not require the defendant to enter into a bond. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) The November general sessions of the peace for the county of Middlesex commenced this morning at the Sessions-house, clerkenwell, before Mr. Bodkin (Assistant-Judge) and a bench of magistrates. The calendar contains the names of 82 prisoners committed for trial, of whom 69 were in dicted for felony, and 13 with misdemeanor. The state of edu cation of the prisoners was rather more uoratisfactory than usual, no leas a number than 22 being unable to read or write, sod 44 only able to do so very imperfectly ;three were set down as being able to read and write well ; and one pri soner, Ferdinand Wolf, merchant, charged with unlawfully :smelting and beating Elisabeth Jones, is marked as pos sessing a superioreducation. The Assistant-Judge briefly addressed the grand jury. Th.naa Edwards, 19, and geor9e Thurloe, were indicted for stealing 281bs. weight of solder, value 30a., the property of Raymond England. Os the 9th of October the two prisoners were seen to ester the shop of Mr. England, a plumber, at Hammer smith, by the prosecutor himself, who happened to come up at the time. He wanted to know their business, when Edwards dropped a quantity of solder from ender hie coat and ran away. He was pursued and taken, and a neigh bour followed Thurloe. On searching him a piece of the stolen metal was found in his possession. The jury found both prisoners Guilty, and they were sen tenced to bs kept to hard labour for six months. CI:160t78 CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY. At the last session of this court, a prisoner, who gave the name of Alf red Thomson, was convicted of stealing plate, ape which a policeman of the I) division, stated that he knew the prisoner well, and that he was present when he was tried at the Westminster Sessions in 1856 and sentenced to penal servitude for four years. The prisoner most positively denied this statement, and to prose that no reliance was to be placed on the statement of the policeman he said he had been convicted, but it was at the Central Criminal Court, and in 18.55, and not in 1856, and that he was sentenced by that court to penal servitude for four years, so that it was impossible he could have been at Westminster at the time the policeman stated. The policeman was still positive he was right, and in conse quence the Assistant-Judge said he would remand the pri mate, and ordered Lockyer, the raison officer, to make the strictest investigation into the circumstances. This day, on the prisoner being placed at the her, Loa ves said he had made inquiries at Millbank and also at Portsmouth, and had received so accurate a description of the prisoner with particular marks on his pen on that be was satisfied the prisoner's statement was correct. There was a prisoner convicted at the Westminster Sasions in isz•s; on the day named, and he bore a striking resemblance to the one in this cam, but he was scarcely so tall, and he felt satisfied that what the prisoner in the dock had stated was perfectly correct. The policeman was here called into the box, and he said he was still firmly of opinion that the prisoner was the person who was tried at the Westminster isessions iu May, and more than that he had seen one of the park keepers, who also knew the prisoner, and would confirm his et ideace. The park-keeper said be knew the prisoner well, and was pre•ent when be was tried at Westminster sessions in UsV. lea;. He had previous to that time taken him in custody for a robbery in Al banyetreet. The prisoner again strongly denied this eviden ce . Mr. Illarton (who defended the prisoner at the trial) wished to ask his worship if he intended to act upon the previous conviction put in! The Auirtaut Judge said be would not, and should treat this conviction as a first offence. lie was then sentenced Wire impri•ioned for two years. THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) WELL Mr. Barker, wh o C h LE as RKEN been absent for some weeks on lore of absence, returned this morning and resumed his dunce. VIOLENT ASSAULT ON A comnADLE. William Bishop, a labourer. a stiff-built young fellow, was charged before Mr. Barker with being drunk and assaulting police-constable Mason, 236 N, in the execution of Lis duty. Front the evidence of the constable, it appeared that yesterday morning, at an early hour, the prisoner and two other teen, all the worse fur liquor, were making a great noise in the street. The prisoner was singing a filthy ditty, and making use of disgusting epithets. He told the prisoner to desist, on which he and his com panions said they should go when they idolised, and the prisoner said that he should make one to give the police. man a good hiding, and at once struck him in the face. He then took him into custody, and on the way to the police. station the prisoner became so violent that it took three constables and three civilians to get him along. Mr. Mould (chief clerk)—What do you mean by civilians? Constable—Why, I mean tradespeople. (A laugh.) Mr. Barker—Why do you not use proper terms? You areas much a civilian as a tradesman. The prisoner in defence said that the constable first assaulted him, and what be did was in self-defence. The police stated that the prisoner had before been con victed for *vaults on the police and for felony. Mr. Barker ordered the prisoner to pay a fine of 205.. or io default of payment to be imprisoned in the House of Cor rection for 9.1 days. The prisoner was locked up in default. MA EL BOROUGH-STREET. ROBBING AN ATTACHE TO THE BRAZILIAN EMBARBT.

On his making some inquiries he learned that the children had been left with hers fortnight before; that nobody had been to her to pay for them or take them away, aod she could not afford to keep them any longer. Witness took the chil dren into the workhouse. On the following Saturday the porter at the workhouse met the prisoner drunk in the streets at Chelsea and brought him to the workhouse. lie was then informed that his children were there and that he must take them away. To enable him to do so when sober defendant had a bed given him in the workhouse that night, but when they were preparing to start him with his children in the morning, it was discovered that be bad got out a window during the night, and abeconded. Nothing was heard of him until Monday night, when he was met with and given into custody. Defendant entered into a bog rambling story, by which he endeavoured to excuse himself. Mr. Dayman told him that the long story he had told had nothing whatever to do with the case. Defendant—l am quite willing to support my children. Mr. Dayman—That does not seem to be the case. _ . _ Defewdaett—l had not the means to support them. Mr. Dayraan—lt is quite evident that you had the means to get drunk. You owe the parish 31. 2s. for the mainte nance of your children. Are you prepared to pay it ? Defewdant—l have no means of paying it. Mr. Dayrnan —You have deserted your children and are, therefore, committed for three months to hard labour in the House of Correction. THAMES. A DISHONEST GIRL.

The prisoner bad been in the service of Mr. Schiller for a few days only, and be had recently missed a watch, chain, and locket from his bed-room. Suspicion fell on the pri soner, and a polioe-constable named Edward Cosby was employed in the matter, and upon calling on the prisoner's sister she admitted that the prisoner had stolen the pro perty, and told him where it was to be found. The watch, chain, and locket were recovered. The prisoner, a sullen girl, pleaded guilty. She would give no explanation of her conduct. She had a good situation, and was coi.Jort ably provide d for in Mr. Schiller's house. iiirrileffe see ten(74 the three months' im prisonment and hard labour. HIGHGATE. BERIOCH CHARGE OF INCENDIARTSV.-COMMITIAL. Jams Howard Percy, a young man of gentlemanly ap pearance, having • slight moustache, and his front teeth defective, who declined to give either his occupation or ad dress, exoept that of Nottingham, was charrl before Mr. J. J. Miles and Mr. W. P. Bodkin with wilt y and mali ciously setting fire to a haystack in a field adjoining the Archway. the property of Mr. William Baker, farmer, of the value of 2601., at the parish of Hornsey. Police-sergeant Aylett, 16 8, stationed at Highgate, said that about 3 o'clock in the afternoon a fire was observed in one of the haystacks in Mr. Baker's fields. The engines , from town were telegraphed for, and in • short time I attended and arrested the progress of the tire. At about a quarter to 7 in the evening, whilst the witness was on duty at the police-station as acting inspector, the prisoner came there and said he bad fired the stack , and that he wished to give himself up. He cautioned him and detained him, after which the prisoner said " I give myself up for wilfully setting fire to • haystack in the road this afternoon at 2 o'clock. 1 set tire to my pocket handkerchief and lit the stack. I then remained in the wood adjoining until it was dark, and then I came up here." He was then locked up, and since then, in answer to further questions, the prisoner has stated that he did not know what possessed him to do it, and that was all he bad to say on that subject. In answer to a question as to who his friends are, he said—" My brother John is • builder, and ant is all I shall say about that." In the coarse o f conversation at the police-station the prisoner told him (Sergeant Aylett) that he had just come to town from Nottingham. The police of Nottingham had been communicated with, and had written back to say that they did not know such a person as the prisoner. He was of opinion that the name the prisoner had given him was not exactly correct. On searching him he found three gold studs, a pair of gloves, and a comb and brush. Frederick Perryer, of the Far ringdon-street station of the Fire Brigade, said he was called to the Archway-ro..d by telegram. He found the stack in flames, and it was some time before the fire could be got under. There were about thirty loads of the hay destroyed. The stack was insured in the Norwich Union Fire-office. The prisoner, in answer to the court, said—l decline to say who lam and where I come from. I do not wish to make any defence. The magistrates committed the prisoner for trial, bat he will be brought up again to ascertain if anything can be found out about him. COMMEROIAL AND MARKETS. MARK-LANE.-(THIS DAY.)

The 34th half-yearly general meeting of pro prietors (preliminary to the ordinary meeting to be held at Bruges on the 10th inst.) wee held at 1 o'clock, at the offices of the company in Moorgate.street, Mr. it. TILL in the chair. The directors' repott contains the following statements : " A considerable falling off in trade, together with the reduced scale of rates, has diminished the receipts upon the lines during the past half Isar by 736/. 2s. ca l. The commercial distress is common to all other lines. As regards the reduction in the taiafs, in connexion with the government Foe, it is necessary to await the expenence to be afforded by another year of a more ordinary character in order to determine upon its advantage or others ese. This is a subject which the directors will not fail to examine and determine upon at the proper time. The expenditure, owing to the large outlay in the corresponding period of 1361 for new tyres, &c., is less by 898/. lls. 4d. than at that time; and the result of the half-year's working shows a net profit of 5,4021. Ca. Bd., applicable to dividend. The directors propose oat of this sum to declare a dividend of four shillings per share, payable at the usual places on the 15th instant, leaving a balance of 501. 18s. Bd., which, with the former balance, will amount to 961. Bs, 10d. to be carried forward to the new account. Both road and plant are kept in excellent order ; and the engineer's report upon them is open to the inspection of the shareholders. During the half-year some alterations have been made in the workshops as well as in some of the stations with a view to economical working and to meet the increased traffic. Many new schemes for railways in Belgium have been proposed, some of which might affect our lines. Such projects will continue to receive the best attention of the directors." The CHAMMAN observed that the report of the directeur gerant (M. Chantrill) was so complete, that it left him scarcely anything to say in moving the usual formal reso lution. This he believed was only the second occasion on which they had had to report some sli3ht interruption in the onward program of the concern. It arose, however, from the same cause which had affected almost every interest in this country. Belgium was, like ourselves, suffering se verely from the deficiency in the supply of cotton. Ghent has large establishments engaged in the manufacture of cotton goods, and the difficulties were occasioned by the want of the raw material. The report was adopted, ead a dividend at the rate of 4. per share agreed to. PRESENTATION OF THZ LORD MAYOR ELICr TO THE LORD CHANCELLOR. —{TlllB DAY.)—Mr. Alderman Rose, the Lord Mayor elect, was this day promoted to the Lord Chancellor (Lord Westbury) in the hall of the Middle Temple with the usual ceremony. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. —(THIS Day.)—The judges assembled this morning for the purpose of fixing the days for holding the sessions of the Central Criminal Court for the ensuing year. The following days were appointed :- 1862.—Monday, November 24; Monday, December 15. ls63.—Monday, January 5 ; Monday, February 2 ; Monday, March 2 ; Monday, April 6 ; Monday, May 11 ; Monday, June 8 ; Monday, July 13 ; Monday, August 17; Monday, Septemtser 21; and Monday, October 2ti. With reference to a report which had obtained currency, that the Duke of Newcastle was seriously Melia peed, the 0 4 acreer mays," We are glad to be able to relieve the anxiety of the numerous friends of the Duke of New- castle. We have the best authority for stating that there is no foundation for the rumours of the alarming nature of the duke'a illness." The Natii aeham Daily Guardian states That his Grace was not sufficiently recovered from his indisposition to attend the meeting for the delivery of the prizes in conuoxion with the Oxford local examinations, and le the advice of his medical attendant, Dr. Robertson, he left Nottingham for Clumber on Friday morning." SERIOUS ILLNESS OF THE MARQUIS OP BREADILL BANE.—The Marquis of Breadalhane left London about a month back for the Continent, after a partial recovery from • severe attack of illness. Only a few days ago accaunts were received that justified the impression that his lordship had derived benefit by his journey on the Continent. The marquis's malady haa, however, assumed a serious aspect. A telegram was received yesterday morning from Unwise (Switzerland), to the effect that the most serious arms torns have set in, and but slight hopes are now held out for his recovery. The Duke of Buckingham left yesterday (Sunday) for the purpose of joining his uncle. LORD BROUG HAM ON THE GLASGOW MURDER CASE. —The quarterly epistle of Lord Brougham to th e E ar l o f Radnor, published in the Law Maaa:ine, refers to various subjects of interest relating to the administration of the law ; and is advocating the principle that accusal persons should be allowed to offer themselves for examination, he alludes to the Sandyford murder case, which has recently excited so much general interest. He characterises the agitation upon the subject as a scandal, and remarks that Jessie M'Lachlan would have desired to be examined, and that her sifted testimony would either have led to en acquittal or confirmed the verdict : in either case the public mind would have been eatisfied. As it is the woman has been convicted of murder, and, though sentence of death is not to be carried into execution, she has not received a pardon, though the respite was panted on the ground of the doubt which (mine as tabor guilt. Lord Brougham considers that the only objection urged against the proposed extension of the Evi deuce Act—that any party declining to be examined would beiupposed to be guilty for that reason—would be entirely removed by the judge's explanatioa to the jury.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. (THIS DAY.) We have a few more beasts than on Thursday last. Trade is excessively dull owing to the mild weather and a large supply at the dead-markets. Thursday's quotations are realised for choicest kinds, but a clearance cannot be effected. The number of sheep is very little larger; however, the demand is much smaller, and prices are lower. A large number remain unsold. Calves are lower. From Germany and Holland there are 2,290 beasts, 8,850 @beep, and 248 calves ; Ireland, 1,190 beasts and 1,030 shoe ; and 2,940 beasts from the northern and midland counties.

THE METROPOLITAN RAILWAY.—The require ments of the Railway Department of the Board of Trade respecting the working of the signals upon this line have caused greater delay than was expected, and much disappointment to the engineers and all persons connected with the line. Not only have the signals been required to be larger and more numerous, but the machinery for work. log them has had to be adapted to this altered state of things. A few days will now witness the completion of all the necessary chooses, and, if possible. everything will be in working order by the 10th instant.—Obsereer.
