Vinkhoolies price was still to 1 taken and olfere.l. while Lothario was inquired after, and would have been tacked at 17 to 1, but Itlu to ti was the outside offer. Among the outsiders, Tormentor, Duke of York, Itompinz girl, l'lauet, and 2:E.scurial wets each supported fur a little. The Cam bridgeshire showed no change so far as the favourite, Caidevisure. and the Longbow colt were conzetned ; there were still offers to accept 20 to 1 about the first-named, while at these (Ala the latter was occasionally supported.

THE VOLUNTEER BALL AT THE AGRICULTURAL HALI..—A special meeting of the Volunteer committee appointed to carry out the arrangements for the forth coming grind volunteer ball at the Agricultural-hall took place yesterday, in the board-room of the hall. Captain Williams, of the West Middlesex Ride Volunteers, occu pied the chair. An announcement was made that the Lord Mayor had intimated his intention of attending the ball in state. The honorary secretary said it would be very satisfactory for the committee to learn that the au thorities of the differpt departments of the public ser vice were according them every facility for carrying out the ball in a successful manner. Not only were the war. like emblems lent from the Tower on the occasion of the Belgian Ball promised, but the authorities had with great kindness offered the committee any otherdecorations attire disposal of the former. The negotiations with the rail way companies relative to conveying volunteers from the country were, he was happy to say, progressing favourably. Captain Gray, of the 29th North Middlesex, reported officially that the South Eastern Railway Company would issue to volunteers return tickets at single fares on the occasion of the ball. After discussing some minor arrange ments the committee adjourned. In expectation of the very distinguished guests who have signified their inten tion of being present, the utmost pains have been spent to make the appearance of the hall worthy of the occasion. The new decorations, illuminations, transparent crystal devices, cascades. and perfumed fountains, surrounded by the choicest tropical and other planta, offer • coup dart unparalleled for its beauty and novelty. A new crystal device and transparency, of immense size, representing a large body of volunteers ready for immediate action, sur rounded with the motto, " Defence not Defiance, " has been constructed specially for the ball by the grin of J. Defries and Sons. TRIAL OF THE PRUSSIAN ARBOUR-CARED FRIGATE KROH-PRINZ —This vessel, built by Mews. Sainuda Brothers, of Poplar, and the launch of which from their yard was noticed in our paper only in May last, has since been fitted with her machinery and completed for sea, and has just been tested at the Maplin measured mile, prepara tory to leaving for Kiel. The general dimensions and ton nage are as follows ;—Length,:Z6ft.; breadth, 50ft.; depth, 361 t. Sin. ; tonnage, builder's measurement, 3,404 tons ; displacement, 5,600 tons. She is encased in armour of five inches in thickness, and is intended to receive an armament of 16 ruled steel guns-14 on main deck and two on upper deck—of about nine tons weight each. Her stern encloses a most forniitlable rim, so arranged that while the &fen. sive powers of the prow are maintained in full force the resist a nce to the sp e ed of the vessel occasioned by the swan neck bows is completely avoided. The engines are a pair of direct acting trunk screw engines, of the collective nominal power of MO horses, and are from the manu factory of Messrs. John Penn and Son, of Greenwich. An average of six runs gave a mean speed of 14.n4 knots; the iminereed midship being 10.25 (eq.. Draft of water 2.1 feet 9 in., which is her deepest intended draft, and the power of the engines exerted during the trial, 4,800 horses. The water was rough, and it was blow ing very fresh. The Kron Prins is the first armour clad frigate acquired by the Prussian government for the new German navy. ♦ second frigate of about similar dimen miens and tonnage is budding fur them in France, and a third frigate is also in course of cunstructian on the Thames. A Boy POISONED BY LABI7RNI7M TREE BARE. - On Wednesday Mr. George Buchanan, deputy-coroner, held an inquest at Boghole, on the body of Robert Nichol son, • little boy six years of age, whose death was caused by chewing the bark of a laburnum tree. It appears that a neighbour called Page had been pruning a laburnum which grew in his garden, and threw the branched and twigs into the footpath. The deceased was seen playing with them on Tuesday evening, and about six o'clo,:k was observed by • man names' Mason to be peeling the bark off with hi. teeth. Meson stated that be was not aware of the poisonous nature of the tree, and did not interfere with the boy. About midnight the de ceased complained of internal pains, and commenced to vomit, but the discharge seemed nothing but water. The voniitiog tontinued at intervals of about half an hour up to • little after coven o'clock the following morning, when a tit supervened, which ended in death. The boy's parents were ignorant of the nature of his ailment, and only sent for the doctor • little before he died. Dr. Wilson stated that from the appearance of the body and general symptoms he considered that death had resulted from the introduction of some irritant poison, and that chewing the bark, pods, or flowers of • laburnum tree, which were highly poisonous, would act in this way. Verdict. "Acci dentally poisoned by chewing the bark of a laburnum tree." The jury appended to their verdict a recommenda tion that more care be used in future when the tree is pruned. _ _ _ /YEA= BEBTORID BY Du BARRY'S FOOD TO TB' TOYA^d, :IMAM hums, and liver of old sad young. curl dyspepsia indigestion', constipation. diarrhota, acidity, eche. neuralgia, hysteria, palpitation, alcepleosness. debility stestfug. cough, asthma, fevers, consumption, low spirits. 80,0•9 nonal cures which had roalstad all medicines, including that of his llamas the Yopc—Tina at is lid. ; 11b., h lid. ; 121 b., Yra ; %lb., Mu —Du Barry and Co., 77 , Regeot.street.

THE POLICE COURT& BIANSION-HOUSK Si: hulking fellows, aged from le to 2i, were brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with unlawfully neglecting to perform the work authorised by the Poor-law hated, at the East London I "Mon casual poor ward. The public is aware that under a recent act of parlia ment, which provides for the reception of all destitute persons requiring casual relief for the night at the dif ferent unions, lower is given to compel the parties so relieved to perform • certain amount of labour in return for the relief afforded to them. The description of work given to them generally consists of picking two Cpounds of oakum, which is not considered by any means • ard task, and the refusal to perform this work is made an offence. It would seem that the casuals have determined to resist this compulsory labour, and during the past week no fewer than twenty persons have been committed for this offence. _ In the present case it appeared that on Thursday even ing the defendants and thirty-two other casuals applied to Kellaway, the superintendent of the houseless poor ward, as it is termed, of the East London Union, in New street, and upon their statement that they had no home and desired en order for admiaaion to the ward they were admitted accordingly, and were provided with a bath, a supper, and hreakfut. After the latter meal each of the defendants was supplied with two pounds of oakum to pick, and upon the superintendent going to them two or three hours afterwards he discovered that they had only performed a very small portion of the work allotted to them, and they flatly refused to do any more, when he gave them into custody, under the authority of the guardians. One of the defendants flatly refused to do any work, and told the officer that he (lid not mind going to prhan fur seven day. for a jumper (in allusion to the treadwheel) The defendants, who conducted themselves very impu dently, did not deny the statement that they had refused to do the work allotted them, and appeared to treat the matter as a joke. The Lord Mayor said that they were lazy fellows who appeared determined to live upon others, and to do nothing of their own accord for a subsidence. The law had pro vided relief for them, but it also required that they should do something in the shape of L,bour in return for that re lief, and they appeared determined to resist the law in this respect. He should theret we order them to be im prisoned and kept to bard labour for 21 days. Kellaway, the superintendent, said be believed it had bees the practice at the City Prison, at Holloway, to give persons like the prisoners some decent articles of clothing when they were discharged. He had on one occasion seen a man selling a portion of the clothing he bad so received, and the practice rather operated as an inducement to such persons to be sent to the prison t in otherwise. The Lord Mayor said he had no doubt that when this was made known the practice referred to would be dis continued. CLERKENIVIXL. Alfred Brown, aged 18, of 54, Rosoman-street, Clerken well, a fishmonger, was charged with attempting to obtain by means of a forged order a quantity of goods from Messrs. Trevordi and Co., of CornhilL Mr. Mullen., solicitor, prosecuted. For some time past the tradesmen of Clerkenwell have been victimised by a person supposed to be the prisoner going to them with forged orders and obtaining large quan tities of goods. In this case he went to the prosecutors' with an order written in pencil on a piece of paper with • deep black border, and asking for one dozen pieces of mus lin and half a pound of bronze, for the purpose of making artificial flowers, The clerk to the prosecutors, having suspicion that the order was wrong, asked the prisoner where he had brought the order from, and he said that he had been sent by Dlr. Nicholas. Knowing this to be false, he called a constable and gave the prisoner into custody. Police-sergeant Evans, 22 C, asked for a remand, and said that he understood there were several other ewe. against the prisoner, not only in Clerkenwell but in the City. The prisoner said he had given the order in this case, but he knew nothing about the other cases that had been mentioned. Mr. Barker remanded the prisoner until Thursday next, and refused to accept bail. The prisoner was then removed. Eli:a Freeman and El cabetA Williams, two stout young women, were charged with neglecting to do their task of work at St. Pancras Workhouse. The prisoners are known in the house a refractory paupers. On Thursday they were told to pick oakum, but instead of doing so they all ran over the house and began larking with the men. When asked to do their work they said they did not intend to do any. The prisoners were very noisy, and their language wee very bad. They caused a disturbance in the wards, and it was found necessary to lock them up. One of them had been sent to no less than three situations, but she would not stop at any of them. The defendants denied that they made a noise, or that they spoke to the male inmates. Mr. Barker sentenced each of the defendants to seven days' imprisonment in the House of Correction. Williass Fox, Georiee Lewis, Geor9e Rice, and Charles Wilms, stout young fellows, were charged with wilfully destroying their clothing at st. Pancras Workhouse. The defendants were admitted to the workhouse and supplied with food. This morning it was found that Wilson had destroyed all his clothing and the others • portion. The defendants made the usual defence, that their clothes were dirty and ragged. Mr. Barker sentenced Wilson to one month's hard labour and the others to 21 days' hard labour in the House of Correction. 8011THWARK. Edward Joseph Panther , carmen, in the employ of Zingle and Jacobs, contractors and town carmen, Miter. street, and Richard Owen, late in their employ, were pl►ced at the bar before Mr. Burcham, for final examina tion, charged with breaking open some boxes and steal ing therefrom 31 tins of preserved salmon, and Richard l'earce was charged with receiving 23 of them, knowing them to be stolen. It appeared from the evidence of Sergeant Dannsway, a detective officer of the H division, that in consequence of in formation he received, he proceeded to the Commercial Docks, Hotherhithe, on the morning of the 28th ult., where the prisoner Panther was loading his van with boxes con taining tin cams of preserved salmon. As soon ss he got out of the docks the priaoner 0 wen joined him, and they stopped at several beer-houses. After they left there they went to Pearee's lodgings, 18, Alfred-street, Bermondsey. Panther and Owen took some cases from one of the boxes, and put them into the nosebag, and entered Pearce's house. Panther shortly brought the nosebag out empty, and threw it into the van, and they drove off again. When they got into the Moe Anchor-road they took some more tins and carried them Into a beersbop, and sold some of the tins. Witness then entered the beershop, and saw Owen about to pass one of the tins, when he took them into custody. After they were sseured, witness proceeded to Pearce's lodging, and found twenty-three of the tins, and shortly afterward, he was taken into custody. Witness found that two of the boxes had been opened, and thirty-one of the tins were missed. Mr. Drag, • tradesman in the neighbourhood, who purchased eight of the tins from Owen, handed them to witness, and they were all iden tified. Other evidence of a confirmatory nature having been given, Mr. Dunham committed them to the Old Bailey for trial, and accepted hail for Pearce. TRAM FE. John Jones, a brickmaker, 55 years of age, was brought before Mr. Benson, charged with assaulting and wounding a poor woman, named Enough Stone, with • hay•tralte. Tke complainant came before Mr. Denson, on Wednes day, with a wound over her left lip, which was bleeding, and asked for a summons. The magistrate said there was no occasion for one, and gave directions to the police to apprehend the offender wherever he could be found. Police-sergeant Dillon had her wound dressed, and gave directions for the prisoner's arrest, but he was not met with till yesterday, when be was taken into custody. The woman ' who was in a weakly condition, said she lived in Steboodale-street, Cubitt's-town, politer, near • brick field. On Wednesdsy afternoon she wile informed that • man was beating her son. She went to the brick field to ask for an explanation ' and saw the prisoner's son, who said he bad beaten her son and abused her. He also called her very bad names. The prisoner then came towards her and said she bad no business in the brickfield. He used very terrible language and threats towards her, and struck her down with • hay-rake. A strong bay-rake was produced, and the woman said that the prisoner did not strike her with any of the prongs or teeth of the rake, but he pushed the back of it against her left eye and wounded her. She took up a brick and threw it at him after he wounded her. The prisoner's witnesses swore that the brick was thrown before the prisoner struck the woman, and there woos blood on his shirt. Mr. Benson was of opinion the defendant's witnesses had told the truth, and that the brick throwing preceded the blow with the rake. The prisoner had to right to use the rake. It was probable the prisoner did not intend to inflict such a wound as he had done, but he must not use such a dangerous instrument again. Believing the wound was a worse ono than the prisoner intended to in flict, and that he was first struck by the woman, he should fine him 10s. only. The penalty was paid. BREAKING-VP AlfD REMOVING ♦ RAILWAY.--One of the ancient footpaths in the outskirts of the metropolis is a well-known one leading from Junction-road to Swain's lane and Highrpte, on the bank of the eastern branch of the Fleet, and across which the Tottenham and Hemp stead Junction Railway Company have constructed their line. The highways committee have called the attention of the vestry of St. Pancras to the continued neglect of the railway company to provide a bridge for foot passen gers, in lieu of the public footpath obstructed by the line of railway, and a committee of view having inspected the locality, they recommended that Mr. Scott, tho chief sur veyor, the contractor, and workmen be instrua.ed and authorised to remove all obstructions placed across the footpath—that is, to cut away the embankment and re move the line of rails. The vestry, on the motion of Mr. Jonathan Salter, has issued, under seal, an order for car rying into effect the recommendation of the committee. ritADza OrI7tAOZS COMMISSION. MANCHESTER, Saar. 20. The court opened at the usual hour. Mr. B. T. Williams, barrister, of the Temple, was present to watch the proceedings on behalf of the Amalgamated Carpenters; Mr. W. P. Roberts represented the trades generally: and Messrs. Cobbett and Wheeler were present on behalf of the masters` associations. James Johnson sworn—ls the representative and • partner of Messrs. Knowles and Co., colliery proprietors, of Pendlebury. They employ about 3,000 colliers. There was • colliers' union, but they had not employed union men since 1846. About 1,400 men left last November to join the union. There had been no dispute about wages to lead to it. Some of them had privately joined, and persuaded the others. The wages were then higher than they had ever been, and this took place when the trade was depressed in Staffordshire and Cornwall, and the agents of Mewl. Knowles obtained 500 colliers from those counties, and double the number tune of their own accord, hearing the remu neration was good. 17ntil the cottages were emptied of the old families they had to purchase beds and bedding, and provide temporary lodging for about 150 of the new men. About 1803 upwards of .100 colliers turned out at their colliery, at Stone Clough, but most of them came back, on the old terms. The wages of men and hoys would average 22a.—the men's wages would be about is. Many of the 1,400 who left had given up the union since and come back. In March last there was • fire in • store room where the new corners were accommodated. It had been an oil store and burnt freely. There were AMC worth of stores, and the damage done was about 800/. If it had not been early discovered there must have been an ex plosion from the near proximity of a gasometer and a ton of blasting powder which would have caused an immense loss of life. It had been rumoured that great mischief was intended, but there had not been &threatening letter. Two letters came from the union which witness produced. The contents were of no moment. One of then, dated Dec. 1866, from thecommittee,asked why, as masters had unions, they objected to the men. Witness read one of the letters, dated 111th May, which came from the society men who had left them. It stated that the men knew, and were ashamed to soy, they had put the company to great ex pense and inconvenience, but they (the men) had been led on, like fools, by men who axed little so long as they got 30s. a week and were made " somebodies." They offered to make the union into a sick club and return to work if they might be taken on again and have their fault over looked. Mr. Knowles replied that he could not enter into any negotiation, but they afterwards took on any of the men who came back and offered themselves of their own accord. Did not think the fire originated in spontaneous combustion, or through accident. They were told that • man named Tattersfield bad said there would be something serious, he feared, before long, and he feared it would happen the following Sunday, which it did. Tatterafield afterwards denied saying so. The fire broke out in a shed adjoining the building destroyed. John Walwork sworn—la a wheelwright, living at Pendlebury, and remembered the strike at Knowles's colliery. Remembered the new hands. He had six of them as lodgers. While they were thine the windows were broken. Six panes were broken while one of the lodgers went to the front room to write a letter, and there was a shout of " knobsticks," and stones were thrown through the window at him. They lived with witness about four months, and had to be guarded to and from their work all the time. About last Christ mas he was attacked by a drunken collier. Wm. Pafford, collier, said last year he was working for Messrs. Knowles after the strike. One night in Sep tember something was thrown through his chamber window and exploeled. Stones and bits of bottle flew on to the bed where he and his wife lay. Some of the union men bad told him he would rue coming to Pendle bury, and called him knobstick. Samuel Potts, police officer, said he remembered the strike, and he had to report a great many disturbances at the time. Stones were thrown at the new men continu ally for about five months. Ten policemen had to be placed on Messrs. Knowles's property to guard the pre mises and colliers. Joseph Robinson, a collier from Bristol, said he came to work after the strike, and was waylaid and beaten by the turnouts. Afterwards had his windows broken. Went back to work at Billiton, because it was dangerous to re main at Pendlebury. Joseph Robinson, collier, from Billiton, Staffordshire, said he worked at Messrs. Knowles's. After the strike a man named Wilson knocked him down after cries of " knobstick," while he was walking with his wife and child. Henry Jones, one of the colliers, said he was knocked down at his own door in February, by union men, and rendered insensible. Some of them were tried and sen tenced to twelve months' imprisonment. John Barnett, s Billiton man, gave evidence that he was accosted while working for Knowles and Co., at his own home, and he was felled by union men, wbo professed to have come to ask if he would join the union. Matthew Bowling, • factory operative, detailed a case of outrage in which, last December, be was attacked one dark night, and had his skull broken, and was badly beaten, on the supposition that he was • knobetick collier. Thomas Halladay, vice-president of the Miners' Assn. elation, said the delegates for the different lodges met every Monday fortnight. There were 50 lodges, and a delegate attends from each. They looked after accidents and wages, and sought improvements in the lsw when de sirable. The weekly subscliption was sixpence. His duty in ease of • diapute was to go to the master and hear the reason, and report it to the meetinga of lodge delegates. Went to Mr. Andrew Knowles after he had locked out his men, but Mr. Knowles would not hear him. His object was to bring about a reconciliation if he could. lie heard the master usually first, then the men, and teen made his report. Witness is a lecturer, and bad lectured the colliers not to use violence when strikes occurred, endea. vouring to persuade them they would always beat advance their cause by the observance of peace. They had all the receipts and payments carefully entered, and all the hooks of the association were rea d and open to examina tion if the commissioners thought lit to look at them. They paid the 1,400 moo for the six months they were lucked out in 1866, for being union men, and in the former strike in 1863 he should think not less than 16,0001. Moses Cotton, secretary to the Miners' Provident Society, said he remembered the men being prosecuted for the assault, at Pendlebury, but he did not know that any money was spent out of their funds to defend them. He produced all the books and said there had been none destroyed and no erasures. Mr. Pickering said he found an entry of 848/., on behalf of victim members. How was it expended ?—Witoess-- To support men on strike. Men on strike were supported, but if they got into trouble money was not paid for that. John Mason, warper, stated that in November, 1857, he was in company with a man named Doherty, at a public house in Ancoats, who offered him a glass of ale. Ile suspected it was poisoned and threw it away. He went out with Doherty, when a man named Hall came up and threw vitrol in his eyes. Doherty was sentenced to 4 years and Hall to 6 years penal servitude for the offence. Doherty was placed in the witness box and said he also was a warper, and a member of • union. He denied that he put anything in last witness's glass. His disagreement with Mason was because the latter employed women, and he thought it would have the effect of lowering wages. The inquiry bad not concluded when our report was despatched. LANIEZTH REOIRTHATION. —Mr. Philip Hemery Le Breton, the revising barrister appointed for the bo- rough of Lambeth, opened the court yesterday morning at the Sessions-house, Newington. There were only thirty. three new claims to vote, which were unopposed. With respect to the parish of St. Giles's, Camberwell, the ac counts were disputed by Mr. Bonywell, the secretary to the Ratepayers' Association, but the revising barrister certified them. FAGGOT VOTES IN SCOTLAND. —We are sorry, but not surprised, to learn that tory tactics in the east ace being imitated in the west. The devices by which the Duke of Buccleuch has so long succeeded in holding Selkirk- Aire are now being resorted to in order to regain Renfrew shire. We understand that the manufacture of faggot votes, for which Selkirkabire has been famous, or rather infamous, has begun in our western county. Faithful tories, even from Carlisle, Edinburgh advocates—including, if we are correctly informed, even an advocate-depute— have suddenly been seized with a frantic desire to ac quire property in Pollokshaws. That advocates-depute panting to be sheriffs, and advocates panting to be advocates-depute, should stoop to anything at the bidding of their superiors need occasion no astonishment ; but we are sorry to hear that some men of standing and posi tion are concerned in this unworthy trickery. We shall watch carefully the registration courts, and not lose sight of this matter, for in truth the question is becoming seri ous. If every county in Scotland is to be polluted by these faggot voters, we may have reason to rejoice over the postponement of the Scotch Reform Bill. It will not be passed without the question of the requirement of resi dence in counties being seriously raised, and our repre sentatives will have to take good heed how they vote.— North British Mail. THE OAKS COLLIERY.—SUCCeIII has at last at tended the efforts of the explorers at the colliery. On Thursday the men with their bankers had to make a pre cipit►te retreat, in consequence of the increase in the gas ; but we are glad to report that they were enabled to resume their arduous duties at six this morning. During the day the stopping was satisfactorily completed, not only the wood but the brick stopping ; and op to No. 2 shaft the men are enabled to go with lighted lamps with perfect safety, being now both air-tight and gaa-tight. The next stopping is proposed to be erected beyond the chamber in the engine plane, about 26 yards in that direction. Some idea may be formed of the extent of the second stopping when we state that at the point where it is proposed to build it it is about 10 feet high, and when we bear in mind that the whole of the work has to be done in the dark, it will be a work of some time. This being completed the No. 2 shaft will then be opened oat, and the ventilation properly re stored. Our readers will, no doubt, be glad to learn that it is proposed to commence working three shifts, instead of two. The report which appeared in some of the London and provincial papers, to the effect th►t there was going to be a meeting of engineers to-day, was without foundation, as we were informed when we arrived at the colliery office this altarnooa.—Leeds Mercury. THE UNIVERSAL TOURIST COMPANY ( LIMITED) AGAIN. Mr. Emanuel, solicitor, attended at Bow street Police-courtyesterday to prosecute upon summonses issued at the of M. Bresniski Wilhelms, mer chant tailor, 15 Poultry, spinet Mr. Craig, the chairman, Colonel Muter and Captain Lemnard, di rectors ; Mr. Cross and Mr. Francis, former directors of the Universal Tourist Company (limited), charging them under the Companies Act of 1862, that being directors of the Universal Tourist Company (Limited), on the 13th July, 1867, and subsequent days, an applica tion being made at the registered orrice of the company, in Henrictte.street, Strand, to see the register of share holders, and also fur a copy thereof, such application was refused, and that they authorised or permitted that refusal. Colonel Muter only was in attendance, and it appeared that the other defendants had not been served with the Mr. }'lower wes prepard to adjourn the cue until a future day, when the other defendants should Le pre sent; but Colonel Muter preferred that the charge, as against him, should be proceeded with at once. He pleaded not guilty. Mr. Emanuel, in opening the case said he was in structed by a gentleman who took these proceedings solely on public grounds, and not from motives of private interest. He entered at some length into the details of the act, which, however, need not be recapitulated here, having been recently stated in the reports of another pro- ceeding against some of the directors. Mr. Emanuel pro ceeded to make some strong comment, upon the manner in which the company had been got up. Mr. Wilhelm* was a creditor of the company, and having no remedy against the individual members, as in the case of en unlimited partnership, had made application personally, and through his solicitor, for reruns' of the list of shareholders, and also for a copy, with a view to taking steps to wind up the company. These applications had been repeatedly refused. He contended that the full penalties ought to be imposed, as unless the provisions of the act were enforced any seven persons might associate calling them selves a limited company, paying If. each on their shares, might get credit to large amounts, pocket all the profits, and defy their creditors, who would have no remedy. He should ask the magistrate to order' the penalties tc be paid to the informer (Mr. Wilhelms) in order that they might be divided amongst the creditors. Each director was liable to a penalty of 2/. for every day for the refusal to show the register, and another 2/. for every day for refusing to supply • copy, which, as the refusal was continued for 8d days, would amount to 3521. against each director. Mr. Flowers said procedings bad already been taken against three of the defendants, including Colonel Muter, for not keeping • register, for which they were liable to a fine of rd. for each day. He had convicted them for one day only, but on the understanding that proceedings should not be taken with reference to the other days they had agreed to pay a considerable sum for costa, which. indeed, waa paid. It appeared to him that to proceed under another form for what was substantially the same neglect would be like vexing them twice ; he thought, therefore, the charge against Colonel Muter must be con fined to any refusal subsequent to that decision. Mr. Emanuel said the former proceedings, of which be knew nothing, and with which his client bail nothing to do, ought not to be a bar to the recovery of penalties for distinct offences. If that were the rule, directors might evade responsibility by getting a friend to take proceed ings and recover • nominal penalty, and then plead that as a bar to any further prosecution. Mr. Flowers said the former proceedings were instituted and carried on in anything but a friendly spirit. It was proved at that time that there was no register in existence, and the conviction was for that very neglect. It would be absurd to fine men for not showing that which did not exist. Mr. Emanuel said the offences were distinct. Mr. Mowers maid they were distinct in this way : if the directors kept a register, but refused to show it or to give a copy, they were lialole toe penalty of 2/. a day. If they did not keep one they were liable to a heavier penalty—rd. a day. But it could not be contended that they were to be fined for not keeping a register, then for not showing what did not wait, and then for not giving a copy of it. Mr. Emanuel said that was what he contended the legislature did contemplate, and upon that point, if the learned magistrate decided against him, he should be ob liged to ask for a case. Mr. Flowers—That you may do, but I shall not stultify myself by fi ning a man for not showing what does not Mr. Emanuel went on to urge that the full penalties ought to be imposed in order to be paid to the informer and others in discharge of their claims. Mr. Flowers said he bad no power to pay the fines over for any such purpose, nor would it be • power which he could properly exercise. He should have to try the ques tion whether each debt was a just one. The defendant might say, as to any such debt, that the company did not owe the money. It was true he had power to pay it as a reward to the informer, but it was absurd to reward • men for giving information of what everybody knew from the newspaper reports of the former CAM'. Colonel Muter said all this did nor really affect him. He was not connected with the company until long after the circumstances mentioned. He himself was a creditor, and had lost money by the company. Mr. Emanuel said that with regard to all he had said of the management of what he did not hesitate to call a swindling company, be freely admitted that Colonel Muter was no party to anything of that sort. In fact, the colonel was one of the victims. Still, that would not absolve him from the present charge. Every director was liable for the acts of the company's servants, ea a pawn broker would be liable if one of his servants made an over charge of interest. or a publican if his barman kept the house open after hours. It was not at all necessary to I show that he had actual knowledge of what was done, Again, his tendering his resignation would not relieve him from responsibility, which continued until his sue- ' °woe was appointed. Mr. Flowers said the observations against the other directors ought not to be urged in • proceeding against Colonel Muter. It seemed very much like going against the wrong roan. He was decidedly of opinion that some proof of knowledge was necessary, and be certainly did not see bow Colonel Muter could be said to " permit" the refusal after he had tendered his resignation, declining to have anything more to do with the company. Mr. Emanuel, after arguing the matter at some length, said be should certainly ask for a case to be submitted to the superior court. Mr. Flowers—Then give &lithe evidence you think ne cessary. Evidence was then given in support of the summons, and it was arranged that Mr. Emanuel should prepare • case, and submit it to the magistrate. THE FENIA2V OUTRAGE AT MANCHESTER. The inquest on Sergeant Brett was opened yesterday, at the Coroner's Court, before Mr. Edward Herford, city coroner._ . . _ _ . _ The Coroner said it was better for him to state for the convenience of those present that he did not intend to prooeed with the examination of witnesses until the inquiry before the magistrates was con cluded. This was s new arrangement, as to tho ad vantages of which he would mot speak. It was, however, obviously better not to have any clashing or in terfering between the two inquiries. It was also better, for the sake of the accused, that they should not be preju diced by an inquiry which was taking place behind their backs. He should adjourn for three weeks, because when the case bad gone before another tribunal, there would no question arise, and the matter would be simplified. They would see that there were strong reasons, under the pecu. liar and painful circumstances of the case, why that course should be adopted. He then took the evidence of de ceased's brother, who said that Sergeant Brett was 112 years of age, and had a wife and three children. Police-constable Shaw then gave similar evidence to that already reported. He said the occurrence took place just tbrongli the railway arch. He saw O'Meara Allen before the van was stopped . . Ha was the first man he saw standing upon the footpath with a revolver. Witness did not know that the deceased was inside the arch, but he knew he was in the van. He did not see him till he saw him lying on the ground. He saw Allen discharge his revolver more than once. Hi fired at witness several times, and shot Prowsen in the foot. Ile saw him fire • shot against the door of the van, which he supposed went through it. He saw him put a pistol deli berately to the van. It was either at the keyhole or the airhole above, hut he thought it was the keyhole, and dis charged the revolver. Directly after the shot was fired some one from the inside cried out, "He is killed !" The door was not open then. They were then driven away, and when be came back he saw the deceased lying on the ground. The hat of the deceased was now produced, and witness seemed overcome at the sight of it, and gave the remainder of his evidence under strong emotion. In answer to questions by the jury, he said be was sure that Allen knew Brett was inside the van, because some of the crowd shouted, "Ho is inside the van." They did not always go inside the van, but sometimes they did just to hear what was said. Mr. J. K. Woodcock was examined. He said he was the house surgeon of the infirmary. lie saw the deceased about 4.30. He was out when be first came, but he saw him shortly afterwards. Deceased was in an unconscious and dying state, and he saw what appeared to be gunshot wounds in the right eye. He died at 5.25. He never spoke or was conscious. Witness had made a post mortem examination. He found • fracture in the roof of the right orbit, where the ball had entered the cavity of the skull, and there was a second fracture on the right side of the crown of the head, where the ball hail pressed out of the skull, with an extensive laceration of the brain between the two fractures.. He had seen the hat, and the position of the hole in the bat corresponded with the wound on the head. In his opinion, death was caused by injury to the brain on account of the passage of the bidlet. There was nothing in the other organs to account for death. The other half of the brain was healthy. The deceased was a tall man. . . . The Jury—lf the deceased was standing upright what direction would the bullet have taken? Witness—ls must have passed upwards, at an angle of 45 degrees. No other evidence was taken, and the inquiry was ad. journed to that d►y these weeks. No further arrests bare been made since Thursday night and one of the three persons who were apprehended afte r the proceeding, at the City Police court has been discharged, The other two were brought up at the City Paha-court yesterday mot ning, and remanded. The van upon which th a attack was made is at the Albergetreet police - station, sad it shows fewer marks of violence than current report has hitherto stated. On the left aide of the vehicle, *sick would correspond to the left aide of the road going in th e direction of the city gaol, there is a bullet hob; not Ise from the driver's seat, and indicating that the shot h,,4 been tired at the policemen in the front of the e m. There are two other indentations on the same aide of the vehicle, which may or may not have been VDDPed b y bullets: The roof has been Neaten in to the extent of about a yard, and in places the hole is four or ail Mete, wide, but nowhere is it large enough to admit a p en „, through. The most violence has been used toward s t h e door, The panel has been beaten in, but there are o s signs of bullet marks about the lock, but within th e vehicle, on the under side of the roof, and in the direc t line of fire, had anyone discharged a pist o l th ecae , the ventilator, is a bullet mark, caused no d 0 ,,,b, by the very ball that passed through poor Brett, head. The appearance of the van within is that of a long nano corridor, with small wooden cells on each side. It his been ascertained that Brett was standing in this ootrid se with a number of women when the outrage took place. A small section of the ventilator was opened by the mob, who, seeing the officer inside, demanded the keys. It is said that Brett replied he would es t give them up, whatever might be the coneetmenes. A shot was then fired, and the poor fellow drooped upon the floor. The mob then demanded the ley. from the women in the corridor, and threatened then that if they did not give them up the women should be shot also. One of them then banded the keys to a rasa outside, the door was opened, and Brett rolled out. The local police have obtained the assistance of lespecte? Williamson, Inspector Clarke, and several other oaken from Scotland-yard, London. Captain Malin, the thy constable, who was abroad when the occurrence happe u .y is also on his way to Manchester. In his absence the vanou superintendents have received the assistance of the may % and the assistant town clerk, Mr. Talbot. MARKETS.

Hitherto very little, commiratively, hu been brought to market, and even with a good supply there seems to be but a small chance of nicking any serious im pression on prices ; indeed, with the small stocks of old wheat left, and the improbability of receiving any lino quantities of grain from any other country for some Mani to come, we think it quite likely that the tendency will be towards higher rates rather than otherwise.
