(THIS DAY.) COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Gonlberm) IN RI RICHARD WALLER Jolfie. _ This was an application for release from eustody. Bank. ra pt was described as of Norbiton, Surrey, quartermaster of the 3rd Regiment Surrey Militia, formerly of the German L o om, ensign, acting quartermaster, then of the School e musketry, Hythe, and lieutenant of the 2nd Royal ft r m Militia. The debts are 3631. only. Alleged cause ed figure, " Want of employment and smallness of pay.* There was no oppodtion, and the release was ordered. TN RI murex TURNBULL. The bankrupt was a tailor and draper, of Maddox-street, Regent-street. Debts about 6001. He aseribes his failure to the (following causes :—" Want of capital, losses in t ra de, large family, and insufficient businees." This w a s a renewed application for release, the choice of sedg nem having taken plus. The application was opposed on behalf of the usigness, and of several creditors, principally on the ground that the bankrupt had not given up any books. Mr. May opposed for Messrs. Hardy and Son, of New Bond-street. The bankrupt now swore that be had no assets whatever, and had petitioned the overt in forma primped, ; but at a meeting of creditors shortly before his arrest, be bad produced a statement showing that he had assets of 1471., and had offered a composition. A few days before the meeting the bankrupt lad obtained 1001. worth of goods from Mr. Westall, of Gresham:a rt:est, and no account was rendered of those goods, or any of the property. After hearing the bankrupt's solicitor, who stated that he bad heed two months in custody, and that his pro perty bad all been swept away by the landlord, His Honour said the bankrupt had been insolvent twice before, in 1858 and 1883. He now came Ware the court ss a pauper, which wee a false representation. The bank rupt would not be released unless he gave bail in 3001.,and found two sureties in 2301. each. . . Mr. iieTai;ll,7hetiude assignee, thanked his Honour for his decision, and said that the ciratunsteneee under which his debt had been contracted was peculiarly aggravated. The bankrupt, who bad not dealt with him before, had obtained from him goods of the value of lOW. just before t ailing a meeting of his creditors. The Commissioner—A very aggravated alas no doubt ; but allow me to ask, how came you, ayeepectible trades man, with a head on his shoulders, to Rive credit to a man who had been twice insolvent and was in the position of a psuper, and who, according to your own statement, was a perfect stranger to you Mr. Herbal said he had been referred to Perry's B a nkrupt and Insolvent Registry-aloe, and, strange to say, he received a very good account of the man. (A. lamb) Tim bankrupt was then removed in custody. (Before Mr. Registrar Hußet) IN ea N. W. R. riflemen'. This bankrupt came before the court with a very long description—formerly of Raglan-house, Highbury New park ; then of Gravesend, master in the royal navy ; then of Portsmouth, commander of a yacht ; then of South Bank, Notting-bin, commanding in the Royal Navy, also trading at 100, Lcadenhall-street, in partner skip with Valentine Wing, under the style of "Pearce and C 0.," as yacht agents, and now of 15, Beaufort - buildings, Strand, carrying on busi ness alone as a yacht agent. He ascribes his failure to "illness and death of m re children, loss of oommandl of =the death of the Marquis of Bulalbane, and the of yachting season." The debts are stated at 1,4181. This was the first sitting ; but only one creditor attended, and the proceedings were of the usual formal character. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (THIS DA Y. ) (Before Mr. Justice Lush_) THE MURDER IN WE GILES'S. lAN Richard Jeffery, 3101escribed as a tailor, was plaoed at the bar to take his trial for the wilful murder of his son, Richard Arthur Jeffery. - . . . . . . . . . . Mr. Daly acid he was instructed to defend the prisoner, and, as the defence he would have to set up would require the evidence of several witnesses who were not at present in attendance to support it, ho had to apply to the court to allow the trial to stand over until Friday. Mr. Justice Lush said he did not think be should be able to attend on Friday. Mr. Daly said that he would ask that at all events the came should not come on today. Mr. Justice Lush said be had no objection to the trial beizgpoittpuned until Thursday. The prisoner was then formally called upon to plead, sad Mr. Avery, the clerk of the court, read the indict ment which charged the prisoner with having of his malice aforethought feloniously killed and murdered Richard Arthur Jeffery. He was asked to say whether he was guilty or not guilty of that crime. The prisoner in a firm and composed tone of voice re plied, " I am not guilty." He was then removed. THE MURDER TN WMTECHAEEL. Mr. G. S. Griltithe made an application to the court in reference to this Cll9B of a rather extraordinary character. The learned counsel said that since the committal of the prisoner, Timothy Murphy, upon the charge of wilful murder, the wife of the deceased, who was an important witness, had been guilty of some act of violence, for which she had been ordered to find sureties. and as oho was viable to do so she had been committed to prison, where she still remained. It was important that her evidence should be taken, and under the circumstances he had mentioned, his application was that a writ of habeas should be issued to procure the attendance of the witness referred to before the grand jury. Mr. Justice Lush at once granted the application. THE Mary Butcher, ;ii ' described as a Man:iOd woman, was brought up to plead to two indictments, one of which charged her with the wilful murder of Emma Butcher, and the other with committing the same offence upon Agnes Butcher. The circumstances of this case wiU be fresh in the re. collection of our readers. The prisoner was a married roman, and during the absence of her husband she ap peared to have deliberately destroyed the lives of her two children by drowning them in a tub of water in her tearoom. She then threw herself head foremost into ' a tub of water in the yard, and was only rescued last in time to save her life. There did not appear to be the slightest doubt, from the circum anon under which the dreadful acts were committed, rod her subsequent conduct, that the prisoner was not in each a condition of mind as to render her criminally re moosible, and when she was now placed at the bar she ap peared to be utterly unconscious of all that was taking place. Mr. Montagu Williams slid he was instructed to prose cute the prisoner, but ho believed she was in such a state as to be quite unable to plead, and in point of fact in a condition of complete insanity. The surgeon of the pri• am was in attendance, and he said that he would give his lordship the mice-entry legal evidence upon the subject. The jury were then sworn upon the voire dire, to say whether the prisoner was of sound mind and understanding, sad in a fit state to plead to the charges that were made Against her. Gibson, the surgeon of the gaol of Newgato, wu then examined, an d h e s t a t e d th a t th e prisoner had been under his care since the 24th of August last, and he had seen her frequently since that period. His opinion was that she was decidedly of nnsound mind, and that she was Utterly unconscious of the nature of the charges that were made against her, and not in a fit state to plead. The jury upon this evidence returned a verdict that the Prisoner was now of unsound mind and unfit to plead, and the learned judge ordered that she should be kept in safe custody until she should be in a condition of mind to take her trial, NEW COURT. (Before the Common Serjeant.) • kORIIERT IVErn VIOLENCE. 1 Edioard Price, 17, labourer, was indicted for a robbery (shit others) with violence on Edmund Phillips Wood, and stealing from him an emerald gold pin and part of an umbrePt, Mr. Cover conducted the prosecution, and stated that the prosecutor was a barrister well-known in this court, and besides wa.s Professor of Hebrew at King's College. On the night of the 2t tit August he was returning home to chamte, in the Te.,.ple from the residence of a friend PS Primrose-hi.l, whelk en arriving in Oxford-street Isis attention was drawn to an extensive fire that was raging at a large distillery in Museum-street, but which was believed at first to he at the British Museum. The prosecutor feeling a deep interest in that institution went forward into the crowd when he was immediately aurroundtal by three or four fellows of whom be believed Us prisoner to be one. The umbrella was seized by one of Mums at the silk end with such violence that the handle was broken off and left in the prosecutor's hand. A long sword remained in the handle, and this formed a useful weapon to him in partially keeping the assailants la bay. They however raised a cry of Give it him !" and thereupon the prosecutor was set upon and hustled and bonneted with great violence until a constable came op and deairedthe prosecutor to keep close to him. The men made their way out of the crowd, but the prisoner was found crouching down as though to conceal himself, and *e taaen into custody. On emerging from the mob the Prosecutor found that he had not only lost his umbrella but his gold breast pin. This fact was proved by Mr. Wood, who was corroborated by the constable 114 F. Mr. Wood mentioned to esti court that the prisoner when before the magistrate admitted the assault, but denied the robbery, and he (Mr. Wood) could not swear to him as concerned in the theft.

'filE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 19, 1866. THE POLICE COURTS. (THlii DAY.) BOW-STREET. , 113 THE LOWS? DIPTHIL Mary A sae Johnston, who described herself as a prosti tute, was charged with being drank and annoying a pas senger in Tottenham-court-road, and Mark Jokmatoi, her father, was charged with attempting to rescue her from the custody of the p o l es . Polioe-constle George, 739 A, stated that about half put 1 o'clock this morning he was on duty in Tottenham court-road, when a gentleman nuns up and complained that the female prisoner and another woman (her sister) bad been annoying him for half an hour. Witness de shad them to go away. The sister did so, but the prisoner persisted in following the gentleman, i calling him foul names, and threatening him. Present) y the gentleman turned back, and again appealed to witness for protection. Witness took her an . She used a great deal of abusive language. c struggling out into the middle of the street, and shouting so loud that she completely exhausted herself. The male prisoner then came up, laid hold of her arm with one hand and witness with the other, and strove to part them. Another constable then came up and took the man is custody. They were both removed to the station-house. Police-constable Cook, 96 E, took the male prisoner in custody, and said to him, "I know you,Johnston ; what do yon mean by interfering with this constable." He n.ade no reply, but went quietly to the station. Police-sergeant Chsppel, F 4 said he had for more than 15 years known the prisoner who was a MID of singular de pravity. He was formerly a master in Charlotte-street, Fitsroyviquare, but by drunkenness and dimeipation had broken up his home and reduced himself to penury; and for some years had been living on the prostitution of women, chiefly of his own daughters. He was about with these women half the night, and never made even a pre tence of doing any work. Mark Johnston—Can you prove that I live by their pros titution? Witness—l cannot prove that precisely, but Ton do no work, and they give you money. You were scoldmg one of them the other day for losing some money, and she said, " Never mind, father ; there is plenty more where that amine from." Mary Anne Johnston—Was that me Witness—No, it was your sister. She is in court now. Policeman Catt, 14 7 E, said he had known the male prisoner for about 12 months. lie was in the habit of fol lowing low prostitutes abontand getting money from them. Mary Anne Johnston deniedthat her father lived upon her prostitution, or, as abe believed, on that of her sister. Mark Johnston said he had never been in prison and never locked up but once. Mr. Vaughan said this was the most lamentable case of depravity it had been his misfortune to bear for some time. They must pay 20s. or be imprisoned for 14 days. WARR LIST&-(THIS DAY.) On o'Ossoz.

The receipts of home-grown wheat fresh up to our market to-day were only moderate. The trade for both red and white parcels ruled firm, and Monday's improve ment in prices was supported. The quantity of foreign wheat on the stands was tolerably Wln all descriptions sales progressed steadily at the 11 advauce. LI Floating cargoes of grain moved off freely, on former 11 terms. The supply of English barley was trifling, whilst the show of foreign produce was by no means extensive. Fine malting parcels commanded extreme rates, and all other descriptions were firm in price. Malt was firm at full quotations. There was a fair show of oats on offer, but the supply was almost entirely composed of foreign produce. All kinds were in steady request, at about late rates. In beans, as well as peas, sales progressed steadily at the prices current on Monday. Flour was firm in price, with a good demand. Hapeued was steady, but linseed was rather less active. With the exception of mustard seed, which was held at 11 very full prices, the inquiry for agricultural seeds was limited. Cakes were dull.

BOROUGH HOP MARKET.—(THIS DAY.) Messrs. Pettenden and Smith report a continued brisk demand for all icscriptions of new hope—idouday's prices being fully maintained. We read in the Manchester Guardian, "It is I stated that, as in the case of Sir C. Bright in 1115 S, the honour of knighthood will be conferred upon Mr. Canning and Mr. Glass for their services in connexion with the laying of the Atlantic cable. Captain freely and Captain Aldham, who commanded her Majesty's ship. Agamemnon and Valorous in the expedition of IMR, were made Com panions of the Bath, and it remains to be seen whether the services of Captain Anderson, of the Great Eastern, will be considered worthy of any official recognition." CATTLE PLAGOR.--SINGULAR RE-APPEARANCE OF THE DISEASE. —Notwithstanding all the efforts made by the " local authority," and the remedial measures carried out by farmers, the plague has again made its appearance in the Oaratang district. between Lancaster and Preston. The disease has manifested itself at Chnrchtown, at Kirk ' land, and in Upper Rawcliffe, and on the generality of the farms the plague as recognised by the late inspector thlr. Breakell) has existed and disappeared already. The very same animals which some time since recoverea, along with " thousands" of others, from what Mr. Breakell pronounced to be the plague, and which circumstance created considerable excitement among the farmers of North and West Lancashire, and necessitated the visit of Professor Simmonds to the Garstang district, have been taken ill during the past few days, and some of them have died or have had to be destroyed. Nearly all the farmers of Gentling backed the theory of Mr. Breakell at the time, and held meetings for the purpose of asserting the correct ness of his plans. The present outbreak proves either that the thousands of animal referred to never had the disease, or that cattle can have the plague a second time. HARVESTING IN THE IstORTH.—A very favourable change has taken place in the weather in the north, and harvesting is going on with amazing activity in Northum berland and Durham. The reaping machine is in active request, and the stackyanis are beginninjto fill rapidly. It is thought that no very serious damage has been done to the corn crops by the late rains. THE VINTAGE.—MOSt unfavourable accounts of the vintage are being received from the wine-growing countries of Burgundy and the centre of France. In the former district immense ravages were made three days back by a severe hailstorm. At Dijon the effects were scarcely felt, but at about three miles from the town on the road to Beaune the damage commenced. From there to Marsauney the vines are completely cut to shreds ; on several points there remain on the plants neither leaves nor fruit. Suits and the neighbourhood, however, escaped. At Beaune the bail fell with great violence for about ten minutes, and the stones rattled on the pavement with a noise equal to that of a park of artillery in through the town. The storm ex tended from Beaune to Auxay by way of Vol nay and Pismitrd, with a ramification to Gigny, Cherey, and Vignolles. The tape of the hill side, how ever, suffered leas than the lower part. Although no accounts of hailstorms are received from the Beaujolais, the vintners oomplain greatly of the weather during which the fruit has ripened, and declare that whatever improve ment may take place between vow and the period for gathering, the wine cannot be otherwise than bad. The maturity is unequal, and rot has shown itself in the lower vines. On the hills the fruit is both too close and too abundant, which are two Gauss unfavourable to good quality.—Galignani. 118 120 110 131 07 10 101 103 14 3 2 10 2 On , 121 124 1 tpra 11 73 114 118 162 161 43 46 701 Tle I - S . 140 146 2 Spas SI SS SESSION& Closing priest. 58 lini 100 4 Par ri a An 116 luij 192* 100 101 101 102 21 t 2 KS 90 61 63 63 66 40 43 25 27 prn. pm: 100 I 16} 6 dial i thil IC BANE& 20 8 dial al SOL I Dar iPm• 11 0 dial 4 dial 1 3 6 ei 16 18 U 30 Ms 5 3AM 20 18 dial 39 41 - 11 8 pm' 20 10 disi 2 1 Ns. ♦ LdLl 46 48 I lepm 21 23 sd 2 1 Ws $ I di, 3 1 dls td 13 14 16 13 dm 13 11 Ms 3 6 S 5 pm, Pis Um& 24 26 $ 1 dls 83 88_ II 6.lhtd 9 7 dl• li 1 dls " -- 9' lOpm 2 3pm 1 2 pro 23 14 63 65 42 44 1E 15 8 1 dim 8 6dr 9$ 45 le 19 rd 3 9 7 0 dfis d :di lid 10 8 Mit disi 1 a pm i 2 4 pmi las W I Du' Ipm 45 4T dim 6 6 dig' 79 81 IS 90 10 3Ms 7 6 dis 14 0 8 6Ms 0 0 FOREIGN OBLIGAIII RAILWAYS. 4 all ;021.Luxembourg5p.seat 10 all • Do . 100 all ,Havana ant Matanzas 100 lull Lausanne and l'ribourg 100 nil Matanzas and Subauilla , 100 all Do.

Police-constable George Harvey, 410 N, said that be tween three and four o'clock this morning he saw the prisoners fighting in the streets, one with an umbrella and the other u.th a stick. He asked them both to go away but they would not, made use of bad language, and annoyed the inhabitants, some of whom put their beads out of window arid asked for the nuisance to be sup- The woman said that the man had taken her tfir ea n . e e tnd given her some sherry, and then had fallen out with her. The prisoners pleaded drunkenness as an excuse, and said they would take care not to get in such a scrape spin. Mr. Barker ordered each of them to pay a fine of 101.. or in default to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour in the Rouse of Correction for seven days. The fines were paid. THAktal. LONDON MILK. Frederick Aux, aged 29, a milkman, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with stealing half a pint of new milk, value five farthings, the property of Mr. John Hitch man, cowkeeper and dairyman, of 101, Kirby-street, Bromley. The prosecutor said the prisoner had been in his employ one month and three days, and was a very dishonest fellow. The prisoner had been in the practice of stealing the milk from his premises, diluting it with water, and selling it. His reputation was injured with the customers who thought the milk was in the state it left tho dairy, whereas the reverse was the case. The prisoner's wife brought two cans of water to the premises one day for her husband, and intended to return with two cans of milk, but her intentions were frustrated, and the water seized. Thismorninginconsequenceof information he gave the prisoner into custody and charged him with stealing a half pint of milk. The prisoner at first deniNl it, and on it being intimated to him that he would be searched, he said, " I am very Sony ; I will not do it any more." He took a sods-. , tar bottle out of the vilsouues pocket. It contained a half-pint of milk. Mr. Partridge—Unadulterated I Witness—Yes, sir, quite pure; he would have mixed it with water and sold it. The prisoner—l intended the milk for my " babbles." Mr. llitchman—He has done me great injury by selling my milk diluted with water. The prisoner—l plead guilty. The milk is for a " babby" wota laid up. Mr. Partridge—Your master's customers have had milk and water served out to them instead of milk. You are • very dishonest fellow. You are sentenced to three months' imprisonment and hard labour. wheat.. Barley .. HEAVY RAINS AT MILL.—On Sunday and Mon day morning Hull was visited by one of the severest rain storms which has been seen during the late unusually wet season. Rain commenced falling on Sunday afternoon, and continued without intermission until an early hour on Monday morning, falling all the time in complete torrents. Some of the lower parts of the town were deluged, and the West District Drainage Works, which are to cost 21,000/„ were completely flooded. The worst results of the storm, however, were at the new West Dock works. These works were commenced five years ago, and it was expected that in the course of about 18 months they would be open for traffic. The dock and basin are about a mile in length, and about 120 yards in breadth. With the water space, quays, and warehouses, the docks are estimated to cost 1,000,000/. Mr. Hawkahaw, C.E., is the engineer, and Mr. J. M'Corniick, M.P., the contractor. At the last half-yearly meeting of the Dock Company the chairman stated that there were employed on the works 1,000 men, 120 horses, besides several steam engines. All these men arc now thrown out of work by the accident of Monday morning. About 7 o'clock on that morning a large portion of the coffer-dam, which extends along the Humber the whole length of the dock, gave way. In a few moments the entire works, with a water surface of 20 acres, were inundated. The tide at this time was rising, and as it flowed it carried away ton after ton of the embankment, until an opening ex tended for a length of fully 50 yards. The water rushed with great force through this aperture, and in a short time barrows, planks, and huge pieces of timber were floating about the dock. A short time afterwards the dam gave way a little higher up, and inundated a portion of the lock which had been protected by a large bank. Those who profess to be judges are of opinion that the delay in the progress of the works will be nine to twelve months. It is also estimated that the loss to the contractor will be 5,000/. to 10,000/., while the loss to the company will he, if the delay should be twelve months, fully 50,000/. The accident is the result of " fresher" scouring the mud from the piles of the coffer-dam. THE DISTRESS IN CORNWALL.—The Western ;Morning News says that the several thousand miners who have left Cornwall during the past year are the best of their class, and are the more skilful in their employment. Seven hundred miners have quitted the St. Just district alone, and have betaken themselves to the coal fields of South Wales and the north of England. More than twice that number have left the Marazion, Caruborne, and ItAruth districts for America and Australia. A large number have gone from the Tavistock district to railway works in Essex and Kent. Many have emigrated without leaving a shilling for their wives and families, for the simple reason that there was nothing to leave. These have had to depend upon the kindness of friends and the forbear ance of the shopkeepers, who themselves have in many instances been reduced to insolvency through the im possibility of obtaining payment from their debtors. From one savings bank alone, 800!. per month has been drawn out for about a year. Of the able-bodied miners who remain in Cornwall some have taken to the pilchard fishery, some to farm labour. Those who have continued in their old employments have too often been earning less than 27. a month. A large number of the women and girls who work on the surface of the mines have been thrown out of employ by the stoppage of the mines, and a pathetic story is told of three young women who burst into tears of joy when promised • week's work. Others, less happy. are to be found breaking stones upon the highway. The small trailers are suffering nearly as much as the miners. Yet—and this is significant of the independence of the Cornish people—there is no great increase of persons dependent upon the rates, or in the workhouse. And, together with this indepen dence, there is great self-restraint. "The Cornish miner in his distress neither howls like a frantic Irishman, nor curses with the bitter oaths of the drunken collier of the black country ; he patiently endures hunger, and cheerily works on in hope of brighter days." There are two favour. able circumstances in the midst of all this depression and gloom. The miners who have emigrated to Australia and California are sending home considerable sums to their wives, and dining the past fortnight one post-office alone has paid 400/. in orders received from miners. The other cir cumstance is the important advance which has taken place during the present month in the price of tin and copper. This is already producing effect in the increasing number of hands now being taken on at the mines. So it is to be loped that the worst is over. It is greatly to the credit of the Cornishrom that we have not heard until the crisis of their sufferings is past how grievous those sufferings have been. Pd.
