Mcgrs, AIROORIif and Remnant, bookbinders of Pater- De etu-row, were summoned by Arthur Thomas Man, their im erentice, before Alderman Alibi's, for refusing to teach bin the business of • bookbinder, he being their legally b o wl wrestles. Mr. George Lewis jun., of Ely-piece, appeared for the opi plainant • and Mr. Wontner, fun., forth. defendants. 16% Lewis said the complainant had been apprenticed to the defendants for about two years and nine months, d ar ing which time he had learned the " blocking," and was Dow an insistent finisher. For some reason or other else defendants chose to sand him into another depart ment, where he would have to do " hollow co ning"—that was cutting of paper for the f o am of books—a duty given to errand boys or e manation on Unit. The de fendant, Mr. Remnant, told him he should keep him at that work fez two years, and as in that time the complainant felt that he should Imre all ehe knowledge he had gained, he consulted his father, who directed him to refuse to it, and he ultimately came to this court for redress. Arthur Thomas Man said he was an apprentice to the defendants. He had served two years at the " blocking," and nine months as an assistant finisher. On Saturday last Mr. Remnant told him he was to go to work at the " hollow cutting." He asked " Why r and Mr. Remnant said because he said so, and that he should keep him at it for two years. The " hollow cutting " could be learned in one day by anybody. He refused to work at it on Mon day and Tuesday, but under the advice of Mr. Martin (the chief clerk) he had worked sines Thursday at the " hollow cutting." In cross-examination he said the "hollow cutting " was given to apprentices at the commencement of their time, and the " assistant finishing " when they were far advanced in their time. He denied that he was troublesome, or had given any ground for complaint. Mr. Wontner said the boy was lazy and troublesome, and that the " hollow cutting " was • part of the business that apprentices were bound to learn. Several wienerss were called to prove the custom of the treads. They all agreed that " hollow cutting " was usually given to apprentices on trial, and that it could be learned in a fortnight ; •but Mr. Remnant's son, who was appren ticed to his father, had never been put to it. He said it was because he did not want to learn the forwarding part of the businees but he would not swear to anything positively. The foreman stated that the lad was clever at his business but lazy ; yet, on cross-examination, they admitted that his weekly bills were large and showed good work, but this was en tirely owing to their watchfulness over him. He was now capable of earning a good living at " blocking." None of the witnesses knew whether the complainant was sent to " hollow matting" as • puniehroene, and even Mr. Remnant admitted that he might here said he would keep him at it for two years, but if he had said so he did not mean it. One of the foremen, in reply to Alderman Abbiss, said that " hollow cutting " WAS • necessary part of the business, but he had never known an instance where a boy after being two years and nine months at other branches of the trade had been sent down to it—it was • most unusual proceeding. Alderman Abbiaa, after giving the most careful attention to the evidence, said he Caine to the conclusion to adjourn the summons for a month. The complainant mart do all that his master lawfully commanded him, but the defen ds*/ must not put the complainant to " hollow cutting" as a punishment, and neglect to instruct him in his business. The summons was then adjourned. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. DANGEROUS CHARACTERS. William Cassel, a tall young man, was charged before Kr. Tyrwhitt with loitering. Thomas Cheney, 87 B, said that about 12 last night be saw the prisoner and another man together in Glass bousectreet, Regent's-street. and knowing the character of the pawners he watchealthem, and saw them go down Kings Arms, where there is a urinal, and while the pri mmer followed nearly every gentleman the Aber man kept watch. He afterwards followed the prisoner and his companion to three other urinals, and then took the Pinner into custody. He could not secure the other. The prisoner said he was locked up for nothing for all. Mr. Tyrwhitt remarked that the prisoner could not have been following persona about as had been proved with a good intention. Sergeant Shillingford, 4 C, said that about eighteen months ago he had the prisoner and two others in custody fora similar offence before his worship (Mr. Tyrwhitt) and two of them were sentenced to two months' imprison ment each, and the other to three months'. He had serve ml times cautioned the prisoner as to his conduct. On the prisoner last night was found a piece of cloth with some rouge on it. Cheney said the offence was now becoming so common that it was dangerous for gentlemen to go into urinals at net. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the prisoner would go to prison for two months, with hard labour, as • dangerous person who haunted places either to rob people or to endeavour, by means of threats, to get money out of them. WORSHIP-STREET. DISGRACING A HUSBAND. Horrid Merlon, 38, was charged with felony. Pri soner's appearance and bearing were those of a gentle woman, and she wore a thick black veil, which, in accord ance with custom, she raised during the following evidence : Walter Dicker—l'm • butcher by trade, and live at 33, Clifton-street, Finsbury. Prisoner and her husband have partly furnished lodgings them. I charge her with stealing a silver spoon and two blankets, but I don't mean to press it. All I require is my property. The spoon is a sort of relic. Mr. Cooke—But you won't have it unless you go on with this charge. Prosecutor—Well, I should not have made it but that she created a disturbance at my door between 11 and 12 o'clock at night. Her husband would not have anything to do with her, so I was obliged. Mr. Cooke- 2 Do you wish to withdraw from the charge? Prosecutor—No, I don't wish to withdraw anything. Mr. Cooke—Very well. Now, had she the use of the articles you charge her with stealing ? Prosecutor—Yes. Mr. Cooke—Was she under notice to leave? Prosecutor—Not direct notice. I had told her I could not have such goings on there. Constable 45G—I received the charge ; the prisoner was very drunk, and in reply to what I told her, she only an swered " You'll find it all right." Pawnbrokers in the neighbourhood produced the articles In question —a silver table spoon pledged for 45., and the blankets for 3e. lid. Prosecutor—Mayn't I have the spoon ? I'll pay for it. Prisoner's husband (a very respectable-looking person, employed with UM extensive firm in the City) stepped for ward, and said—lll pay for all, sir, if you will allow me. Prosecutor—Not my spoon—that's my spoon. I want IcLsPoon. Mr. Cooke— The °bergs cannot be disposed of in ray such way. (To the prisoner.) I have not the slightest doubt that you stand in this disgraceful position from a habit of drunkenness by which you disgrace not only yourself but your husband. Fortunately thin is not exactly a case of stealing but it is one very Closely bordering on it, had you have left the lodging there would have been • clear case of robbery against you. Remember this for the future. Prisoner (crying)—lndeed I am very sorry, sir. Mr. Cooke—l shall treat this as a case of illegally pawn ing, and fine you 20e. for the offence, together with hi., for which amount the articles were pledged, or in default an imprisonment of one month. The money was immediately produced. WANDSWORTH. OVERTURNING A HORSE AND CAL Philip Knight was brought up on a warrant, charged with driving a horse and cart furiously in a thoroughfare. It appeared that ou the morning of the 29th ult. • cab man named George Bright was driving along the York road, Battersea, with two persons inside his cab, and as he us about to draw up on his right side close to the kerb he heard something coming behind him very fast. He held up his whip, and directly afterwards the step of scut caught the off hind wheel, threw the home and cab over, and dragged them for a distance of between 14 and 15 yards. The cabman was thrown under the horse, and the passengers who were very much shaken and alarmed, were got out through the window of the cab, and taken into the Unity public-houee. It also appeared that the horse and cart be -'caged to Mr. Bushell, a maltster, of 'Wandsworth, and at the time of the accident'the carman, a man named Brown, Was in the cart with the prisoner and another man, but was not driving. Brown, who was not sober, admitted that it was his own fault. The prisoner afterwards admitted to Mr. Bushell that Brown was ill, and he drove for him. Brown had previously received instructions not to allow the prisoner to drive his horse and cart, as he had been seen driving them before. It was proved that the horse, which was an old hunter, was trotting at the rate of 10 miles an hour. A claim for 71. 3e. had been made upon Mr. Bushell for the damage to the horse and cab, and he afterwanla instituted these proceedings. _ For th e d e f ence i t was su b m i t t e d th a t th e e l e ment of furious driving was not made out, as there was no urging of the horse, which was only trotting at its ordinary speed. John Brown, the carman, who had been discharged, said the horse was only going at the rate five or six miles an hour. He attributed the accident to the projection of the sten He said he was not quite sober as he had taken a little brandy by the doctor's order, as he had been suffering from diarrhea. Mr. Duman thought the case was fully made out. He del not think that furious driving depended upon the lash ing of a horse. A good horse was not to be driven in • crowded thoroughfare at its own pace. He then fined the stagoneer als. and 2s. costs, and left the matter of the to be settled in another way. 117 119 'rat no 91 93 69 BO 65 SO 27 IS 54 OS 125 1251 88 90 ID 21 61 U 22 24 106 107 is made whei out ;TATII.—. t a dinner Society inP an he add read the kfortaaate rest on in :a incident ferries to untold the le cholera be number Peals the heads, di lever more roperor every its deci ra to Mr. water, Mr. irge d wick Isle labour. the imma itt the ith • Lard Ligon coins o Wien, a Siwalik of the late be titbits the limb table ID the were always east+ the of the was le Austrians ion it COw Giant of ra j...

ONE c?Ompez. The transactions in the stock markets to-day are upon a moderate scale, and prices present few changes. Consols are steady, at the closing quo tations of yesterday. Amongst the British railway securities there is a demand foe Great Eastern and London, Chatham, and Dover, at an improvement, but South Eastern has given way. Foreign stocks have declined in some cases, the chief reduction being in Italian of 1861. Banking, financial, and miscellaneous shares are quiet. The demand for money to-day is moderate, and the supply large. The general rate for good bills is 41 to I per cent., but exceptional transactions are reported at a fraction below. The charge in the Stock Exchange for short advances on English government securities is 41 per cent. Consols are now quoted 891 to f for money, and 891 to I for the 9th October. Foreign stocks are dull, with a preponderance of sales. Italian bonds of 1861 have declined 4 per cent ; Turkish of 1865, ; and Spanish Passive and Committee's Certificates, 1. Turkish Bonds of 1862 are now quoted 57 to 59 ; ditto of 1865, 311 to 1 ; Greek, 15 to 1 ; Spanish Passive, 232 to 1; ditto Certificates, 151 to 1 ; Italian, 1861, 56 to 1 ; Brazil scrip, 22 to 21 dis. ; and Mexican, 171 to 4. United States 5-20 Bonds and Illinois Central Railway shares are slightly lower, at 724 to 1 and 782 to 792 respectively ; but Erie are steady at 451 to 46. Anglo-American Telegraph shares have expe rienced a decline of 53., viz., 17 to 4, while At lantic Telegraph are unchanged, at 61 to 1. International Financial shares are quoted 11 to 11 dia. ; London Financial, 13 to 12 dis., General Credit, If to 11 dis. ; Credit Fonder, 31 to 21 dis. ; and National Discount, 9to 1 prem. Two tiCzoor. Consols are now quoted 891 to 4 for money, and 894 to 1 for the 9th of October, showing a decline of 1 per cent. The speculators in Greek bonds are in strong hopes that the present insurrectionary move ments among the Christian population in Can dia, Theesaly, and Epirus will lead to a considerable extension of the area and re sources of the Greek kingdom. Turkish Five per Cents. continue to fluctuate with the varying rumours relative to the forthcoming dividend. Ita lian stock has been scarce at the settlement, the influence coming chiefly from Paris, where the speculators for a fall in this stock have been terribly punished during the last two or three months. The fact appears to be that the Italians themselves had sufficient confidence in their own State securities to invest largely at the low prices lately current, and it is to this absorption that the scarcity of stock is due. There have been such heavy lames at Paris amongst the adverse speculators that the fund out of which the associated Agents de Change gua rantee their clients has been severely drawn upon, In face of the decline in other securities, Brazilian scrip has remained flat, suffering from reports that the Brazilian government will require another loan for the prosecution of the war with Paraguay. The information received in good quarters, however, states that there is no present prospect of such an operation. American securities continue in de mand. Telegraph shares continue to be the sport of the speculators from day to day, the favourite calculation being that, owing to the sensitiveness natural to the market at the present advanced level of prices, even so slight a matter as the trans mission of a message in an imperfect form would be sufficient to induce numerous sales. About 61,0001. in gold was sent into the Bank yesterday. The steamer Surat has arrived at Marseilles with the light portion of the Calcutta, China, and Aus tralian mails, and 707,4761. in gold, the bulk o: which will probably be sent into the Bank of Eng land. The Alassilia is bringing 8,0001. from Alex andria, and the Syria 91,0091. The tendency of the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon was again unfavourable to this country, lower rates being quoted for bills on Hamburg and Frankfort, and 5,r three months' drafts on Hol land. The usual list is annexed : Amsterdam, 3 months, 11.19 to 11.191 ; ditto, short, 11.161 to 11.18 ; Rotterdam, 3 months, 11.19 to 11.191; Antwerp, 3 months, 25.50 to 25.55; Brussels, 3 months, 2.1.50 to' 5.55; Hamburg and Altona, 3 months, 13.8 to 13.8 .1 ; Berlin, Cologne, lee., 3 months, 6.27 to 6.28; St. etersburg, 3 months, 291 to 291 ; Paris short, 25.20 to 25.321 ; ditto, 3 months, 25.40 to 25.47 i ; Marseilles, 3 months, 25.40 to 25.471 ; Frankfort-on-the-Maine, 3 months, 120 to 1201 ; Vienna, 3 months, 13.20 to 13.25; Trieste, 3 months, 13.20 to 13.25; Madrid, 3 months, 451 to 451 ; Santander, 3 months, 46 to 451 ; Cadiz, 3 months, 461 to 46 ; Seville, 3 months, 461 to 46 ; Malaga, 3 months, 461 to 46 ; Valencia, 3 months, 461 to 465 ; Bar celona, 3 months, 48 to 471 ; Bilbao, 3 months, 465 to 46 ; Saragossa, 3 months, 461 to 46 ; Leghorn, 3 months, 26.50 to 26.60; Genoa, 3 months, 26.50 to 26.60 ; Naples, 3 months, 26 . 50 to 26 . 60 ; Palermo, 3 months, 26.50 to 26.60; Messina, 3 months, 26 . 50 to 26.60 ; flabon, 90 days' date, 511 to 511 ; Oporto, 90 days date, 511 to 511. The weekly return of the Bank of France shows the following changes : Coin and bullion Decrease £520,000 Circulation Bills discounted Treasury balance lncrease 216,000 Current accounts Decrease 640,000 The plethora of bullion under which the Bank of France is labouring has at last been relieved to the extent of half a million sterling, but the increase in the discounts is unimportant. At Paris the rate of discount in the open market is 25 per cent. ; Vienna and St. Petersburg, 511 Hamburg and Frankfort, 31; Turinand Amsterdam, 6 ; Berlin, 4 ; and Brussels, 22 per cent. The dividend on North British Railway stock is of f icially announced at the rate of 1 per cent, per annum, against 3 for the corresponding period of 1865 ; Border Union, 11 per cent. per annum, against 41 ; and Edinburgh, Perth, &c., one-third per cent. per annum, against 1. The Caledonian Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 6971. over last year. With regard to the application made yesterday to the Court of Chancery by the committee of shareholders of Overend, Gurney, and Co., to stay the payment of the present call of 101. per share, it appears that the summons has been ad journed till the 2nd of November.

Yesterday, Peter Heap pleaded guilty, at the Dewsbury police-court, to a charge of being a deserter, and he was ordered to be committed to gaol to await the orders of the War-office. It transpired that he enlisted a few years ago in the Royal Marines, and left behind a sweetheart who was much attached to him. In June, 1805, she went down to Deal, in Kent, where he was stationed, to see if she could induce him to cut his connection with the service, and on her arrival she bought a suit of civilian's clothes for him out of her savings as a domestic servant. After a few interviews with the fair one he was induced to accede to her wishes, doffed his military attire, and Put on the new habiliments, and quitted the ser vice of the Queen. They then returned to Leeds together, and were married, but afterwards re ' moved to the quiet village of Holden Clough, near Dewsbury. At this place they lived comfortably together, until the wife ascertained that her hus band was carrying on an amatory correspondence with a young woman in the south of England, and was actually promising her marriage. In • fit of passion Mrs. Heap determined to be revenged on her faithless husband, and informed the police that he was a deserter. He was at once apprehended, and then she saw what she evidently thought was her folly, and appeared in court crying bitterly, bat her husband was marched off to limbo. MURDER IN LINCOLNSHIRE.—LBUTBDCO Carluid, aged 77. James Garland, aged 40, Patrick Garland, age/I:I:I, and Barney Garland, aged 30, father and two sons and • nephew, all Irish, were charged yesterday at the Sessions house, Boston, on remand, with the murder of another Irishman named Hugh Kelly. It appeared that Kelly had occupied in Ireland a piece of ground from which the mother-in-law of one of the Garlands had been evicted, and that they in consequence bore him a grudge. He was on Sunday, the 12th, in a barn at Algarkirk Fen, where he hail been permitted to sleep, when the Garlands, who had been working close by, went in, dragged him out, and kicked him with their boots in a most frightful manner, in flicting injuries of which he died. Six other Irishmen were present at the time, but they did not interfere to save the deceased. The prisoners were committed for trial. LIFEBOATS ON THE DEVON AND CORNISH COASTS. —Most of the lifeboats on the Devon and Cornish coasts have just been visited by the secretary of the National Lifeboat Institution. He found the establishments every where in excellent order, and reflecting much cm edit on the assiduity of the several local committees, and on the care of the coxswains of the boats. The secretary was gratified to learn from the crews of every one of the boats that they possessed the utmost confidence in them, and that they were ready to go afloat in them in the stormiest weather. During the past winter some noble lifeboat services were performed on the Cornish coast. The St. Ives boat was twice upset during • hurricane, yet her brave crew perse vered, and were determined that they would themselves perish rather than the shipwrecked Frenchmen should meet a watery grave on their coast. Ultimately the life boat crew saved four of them. They belonged to the brig Providence, of Granville. The Emperor of the French was so impressed with the bravery of this service that he has sent a gold medal to Lovett, the coxswain, end • silver medal to each man of the crew. These honours are about to be presented at • public meet ing to be held at St. Ives, Lady St. Aubyn having been re quested to hand them to the brave fellows on the occasion. Again noble services were rendered by the Fowey life boat in rescuing during a fearful storm 22 men from the barque Dryden, of Shields, and the brig Vi'earmouth, of Sunderland. And the Penzance and St. Ives boats saved Last spring during • gale of wind the whole of the crew of the steamer Bessie, wrecked on Hay]. Bar, where the Isis lifeboat rescued on Monday last nine of the crew of the brig Nicholas Harvey. The Bride lifeboat saved four men from the schooner Johnson, of Exeter ; and the St. Ives lifeboat again rescued four men from the schooner Earl of Zealand, of Audwoh. In times of yore some of the Cornish boatmen were conspicuous for their wreckage ; but in the present day no men distinguish themselves more than they do in readily prilling their own lives to save those of others. The institution has now ten lifeboats on the coast of Cornwall, and seven on that of Devon. In fact, all the lifeboats on the shores of both counties belong to it. °then are nearly ready to be sent to Late, in Cornwall, and to Brixham, in Devon. Altogether the Lifeboat So ciety has • noble life-saving fleet of 172 boats under its charge, and it contributes every year to the saving of be tween 700 end 800 lives from shipwreck. lILAILwAys a~rwi..a lister ....I 'Cambrian Cork and Banda' Comma Dublin rad etAbdJa BeLtistJune Patk East Loudon BaripOert.

The circulation issue should have been staled at 29,893,1751., being 205,2151. less than last week ; and the active circu lation at 23,472,0551., being 749,1901. less than LA week. The subjoined report with reference to thebullion market, is from the circular of Messrs. Sharps and Wilkins : The tendency to improvement in the silver market has continued during the pest forOnight, the increasrmg ease in the London money market being the principal cause. Rots :thstanding the large arrivals of both bar saver and Mexican dollars, prices have been well sustained, and at the close to-day, may be quoted Ea. 13- 1 &i. per ounce standard, and 4% lied. per ounoe reopeetively. The In quiry for silver is still confined to Germany, no eastein demand being aa yet apparent. WEIL the exception of United Steam gold coin, there have been no purchases of gold for export. Vet/ Urge easourts are advised from India, Ecypt and Australia, the greater portion of which on srrival will probably be sold to the Bank of England. With reference to the hop trade, the circular lamed yesterlay by Messrs. Bakers, White, and Morgan states as follows : In the sprin; of this year we were threatened with • universal scarcity of hops, from the slackness of the bine and the appearance of vermin in the plantations generally, at home and abroad. This, however, has been happily averted by a partial recovery of the plant, and we are now likely to get two-thirds of • crop in England, half a crop in Belgium, a good half-crop in Bavaria and Bo l.emia, and an average crop in America. Recently, the weather in this country has been moat unfavourable for the development and ripening of the hops, and also for the peeking. Fine and choice samples of ;Rah will, CODS!. quently, be scarce and dear. In Bavaria the weather has been more favourable, and the choicer kinds of Bavarian hops will be especially worththe attention of the consumer, the quality being very superior. We think that the pre sent prices maybe regarded as reasonable, more particu larly when the large consumption, and the limited stocks of yearlings and olds are taken into consideration. FRMAT Evans°.
