itlustc. Mat MAJE:tTY r711::ATI:E This house opened last night with the first of a arias of performances of Italian opera, with which Mr. ilapisson intends to all up the few weeks previous to Christmas. Tie company con.is *ors r.tist of the principal artists of the regular mason, and new appearances are an nounced, of b.dllu. Chou Luria as d.,,lgnter of Mr. John Barnett. the composer), and Milne. Kellogg, a young American lady, of whom tenon ,peaks highly, both as an actress and a singer, her reputation in her own country having long since reached Europe, although she has not yet been heard out of America. The opera given last night was Le. .s at Borgia, a work so familiar and the cast so similar to that of the past season at the Janie tstablishment as to offer but little occasion for special comment. The Lucrezia of Male. Titian is well known as • powerful impersonation, combining tragic grandeur in acting and declamatory vocal passion and feeling. In the principal situations of the opera this artist again, last night, produced the usual effect by her deeply-felt and admirable interpretation of an arduous part. In the light grace of her first air, " Com' a hello," in the subsequent scene with (lennaro, and in the deeper passion and intense energy of the scene with the Duke, involving the doom of her son—in her alternate supplication slid denunciation of the remorseless Alplionso, in the expression of maternal tenderness, and the final lament over the dead Gennaro— throughout each seam Mdlle. Titian displayed all those high dramatic and vocal qualities which render her so efficient in lyric tragedy. The Maffeo Orsini of Madame Trehellillettini is also too familiar to the public to need fresh oulogium now, Loth in the long introductory narrative at the commencement of the opera, and in the popular "II segreto," the rich voice and finished style of this artist were as admirable as ever. Signor Bettini, who was on this occasion the Gennaro, sang with much earnestness and passion, in several instances pro- ducing a Li:irked effect, especially in his air at the com mencement of the last act (an importation from the Don Sebastian of Donizetti), which was received with loud and long applause, and a recall of the singer. In the Anal scene, too, Signor liettini both acted and sang with real dramatic power. As on former ominous, Signor Gassier was thoroughly effi cient as the Duke, his principal solo, " Qualnnque sea l'evento " being given in true despotic style. The remaining characters were filled by Signori Yoh, Casaboni, Mr. Lyall, Lc. The trio in the second act (cite of the best movement, in the opera) was, as usual, encored. The house was well attended. Among the audi ence were his Royal Highness the l'rince of Wales, Prince and Princess Christian, and Prince and Princess Edward of Saxe Weimar. Mlle. Kellogg is to make her first appearanoe on Satur day as Margherita in Gounod's FoeAt, and for the follow ing Tuesday is announced for Violetta in La 2'raraita. Ovum. DRITRY•LANE. Doubtless to give Mr. Phelps a few nights' rest before the production of Marino PaVero on Saturday next, the hid., .11 Dlnna has been revived for five nights, Claude Melnotte twinz represented by Mr. Barry Sullivan, and Pauline by Mrs. Hermann Vezin. The Miller and his Mee is still retained as • musical afterpieee. HAYILUIKET. When Mr. Charles Mathews returned from Paris, after playing before a French audience in Cool as a Cucumber, be appeared at the Haymarket in the same piece ; and Mr. Sothern, after exporting Lord Dundreary, with all Lis insular eccentricities, to Paris, has re-imported him with a full belief in his undiminished attraction. Mr. Bcckstone gets a holiday, but the company is strengthened by the engagement of Miss Madge Itobert►on and a Mr. J. T. Raymond, from America, whom we hope soon to see In something calling for more critical remark than the secondary characters in what is left of Our Ame►ican Cowin. *purttng Enteiligentr. TATTEFtSALL'S.—MONDAY. The Subscription-room was densely thronged, and the adjustment of accounts was of such en extensive character as to absorb nearly the whole of a lung afternoon. As usual on these occtudons there were various versions as to the nature of the settling, but on the whole, it was, we believe, a fairly good one. Some large accounts were t although not opened, and • few others were de ferredea with a certain prospect of being squared in a week or two. It is agreed on all hands that backers have lately bad • most disastrous time of it, and • temporary tight ness in se, eral quarters was not alt og ether unexpected. Very little betting took place during the afternoon. The Liverpool Cup was all but a dead letter, owing to the acceptances being due to-morrow (Tuesday), speculators being unwilling to do anything on the race in the interim. The Two Thousand was introduced for the first time, MogicruziAn being well supported at 4to 1. For the Derby Sir Joseph flawley's three were mentioned by turns, Rom erucian and El ue (learn finding friends at their quoted prices, and the three mixed being backed at 7 to 2.

Fr .ftnalell Jeerers/ of yesterday says :—" One of the moat terrific, and, we fear, destructive hurricanes of this year, raged along the coast from an early hour on Sunday morning. There was little in the atmosphere and nothing in the appearance of the firmament on Saturday to give warning of the impending storm. The sun rose early and pleasantly, and until late in the afternoon the air was worm and genial. A lightbreeze cause from the west towards evening, and as night came on the atmosphere ass cold and raw. The wind rote high about twelve o'clock, and in an hour had risen to the fury of a tempest. The most extraordinary downpour of rain that has occurred for years lasted for two or three hours, and was accompanied by a fierce and sweeping hurricane from the W.N.W. The rain can be compared to nothing but the vehement splash of a body of water from a steam engine. The force and duration of the deluge lent terror to the storm, which was of an un usually tempestuous character. Inlan 1, large trees were torn from the roots and flung to considerable distances, and we learn that in the neighbourhood of the Phoenix Park much damage has been done. Along the coast the rage of the waves was extraordinary, and we gather from our correspondents' notes that anxious fear was felt by the occupants of the houses along the see shore. Around Bray Head the storm rose to a terrific height, and the waves rolled right in on some parts untouched in previous hurricanes. The rivers have all been swollen by the vast downpour of rain, and the roads in the country are in many places covered with water. It is anticipated that the shipping in the Channel has been much distre.sell, and from the telegrams of our correspondents we regret to say the worst fears have been realised. Perhaps one of the most extraordinary results of the gale, happily unat tended with any loss of life, was the slipping of her Ma jesty's ship Royal George, in Kingstown harbour, from her mooring chain, which suddenly gave way about three o'elack in the morning, when the greet ship was speedily swept on the east pier. The signal gun was immediately fired, the lights hoisted, and every effort made to obtain assistance, steam was raised, and preparations made for lifting her off, ere she was caught amongst the sharp rocks ; but it seems that this was found impossible. The ship remained in this dan gerous state for some hours, when the harbour-master, Captain Hutchinson, R.N., and his crew, Inspecting- Commander Roche, R.N., L. W. Wittecombe, R.N., and a party of coastguards, together with the crews of the gunboat Raven and the tender Seamew, arrived between six and seven o'clock to render aid. Ilingsend, Clontarf, and the other neighbouring coastguard stations, were promptly communicated with, and orders to send all spare men issued. At seven o'clock a second gun was fired, for all liberty men to come to the rescue at once. Shortly after eight o'clock, the Royal Mail steamship Ulster, Captain Triphook arrived, having been detained nearly two hours behind time by the vehemence of the gale. Captain Tripbook, soon proceeded to the rescue of the Royal George, and with the assistance of the buboes master and others succeeded about ten o'clock in clearing her off the rocks, whither abe had drifted. The greatest anxiety prevailed as to the result of the unusual mishaps. During the morning, which reminded the people of Kings town of that ill-fated day on which the gallant Boyd lost his life, very many persons came down and remained near the pier to await the result of the attempts to bring the good ship to her moorings. A court of inquiry will, of course, determine the origin of the occurrence, and whether any blame attaches to any of the officers." A correspondent at Holyhead reports that immediately tidings of the wreck of the Triumph had been received the lifeboat, the Princess of Wales, belonging to the National Lifeboat Institution, was launched and proceeded to the scene of the wreck. After pulling for about an hour the boat reached the spot, and had the happiness to find that the shipwrecked men had previously safely landed in their own boat. The lifeboat behaved admirably on the occasion in the strong wind and cross sea. This lifeboat was presented to the National Lifeboat Institution by Mr. Joseph Leather, of Liverpool, who desired the boat should be named after her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales. Since the boat has been on its station it has been the means of saving 23 lives from various shipwrecks. ATTEMPTED MURDER BY A LUWATlC.—Alexander Bisset, • mason, aged *.Z, living with two sisters in Ann tleld-road, Dundee, rose from bed about three o'clock on Sunday morning, and with an axe smashed his sister Mar garet's head, indicting upon her injuries which, it is feared, will prove fatal. Bisset has only been a fortnight out of the asylum. After the assault upon his sister he gave himself into the custody of the police. THE ALLEGED CHILD MURDER AT WOOLWICH. —Yesterday afternoon Mr. C. J. Carttar, the coroner, resumed his inquiry at the Royal Oak Tavern, New-road, Woolwich, into the circumstances attending the death of Mary Golding, aged 1 year and 9 months, who was alleged to Lee died through the brutal treatment of • German baker named Ernest Roeder, with whom the mother of the child cohabited- Mr. Weatherhead, from the office of Mr. Beard, solicitor, amired for the prisoner, and Dr. Juch, of the German Legal Aid Society, the same which defended Muller, was also present, having taken up the defence of the prisoner, a cosine the society only adopts when there is reason to believe that any of their country men are unjustly accused. The Coroner said, after a con sideration of all the cirounntanose of this etas be did not think they could wall get on without another idiournment. This was the first day of the present session of the Central Criminal Court, and if the prisoner should be sent for trial immediately it would act against him, as there would not he time to prepare his defence. It would be better to adjourn for a week, and there would then be time to com municate with the Secretary of State as to the presence of the prisoner on the next occasion. After more conversa tion the inquest was adkaurned until Tuesday next. THE LIVERPOOL FOLIC' AND THE FERIA/48. MR authorities of Liverpool, apparently desirous of guarding the police offices and the arms there stored against surprise by the Fenian', have directed missive iron gates to be placed at the principal entrance to the extensive pile of buildings in Dale-street. Workmen commenced the erection yesterday, and their operations were eagerly watched throughout the day by a crowd of people, many of whom mistook the preliminary timber scaffolding for a barrier which was to be continued across the street. This led to a rumour that an Immediate Fenian attack was apprehended in the sown. OFFENCE UNDER THE Costume CONROLIDATION ACT.—At the Liverpool Police-eourt yesterday, a man maned Henry M. Vey was brought up in custody, charged with having resisted an officer of customs in the execution of his duty. Mr. Tyndall, local Solicitor to the Board of Inland Revenue, said the offence was laid under the 251st section t of the Customs Consolidation Act, and it was one of such a very serious character that he felt great re sponsibility in asking the magistrates to proceed under the section. M. Vey had rendered himself liable to transpor tation for not more than seven years or penal servitude for not lees than three years, it having been proved that the prisoner was at work in discharging tobacco on board the vessel White Jacket, and that when the complainant attempted to search him as he was quitting the ship, M. Vsy resisted him. The man was remanded, the magi,- trate expressing his intention of sending him for trial at the assizes. SUPPOSED LOSS or BILLS OF EXCHANGE.—A good deal of excitement has been occasioned in commer cial circles in Glasgow within the last two or three days, I by a report of the supposed loss of bills of exchange to the amount of 49,11 W., which were mimed during their trans. mission from London to Glasgow through the post-office, on the 22nd inst. The bills are the property of Messrs. Gra ham and Co., Miller-street, Glasgow, of which Mr. Graham, one of the parliamentary representatives of the city, is the chief partner. Failing to reach their destination, it was believed that they bad either been lost or stolen, and, ac cordingly, the dates and amounts, &c., of 'the severalbills were advertised in the local newspapers, and payment of them was stopped. On Saturday, however, all anxiety as to the fate of the hills was removed, by their discovery in the IPost-office, London, where they were lying. It ap pears that they had been directed to Calcutta instead of Glasgow ; hence the delay and consequent apprehension. EXETER AND THE TRADS UNION OUTRAGES.—A crowded meeting of trade unionists was held at Exeter yesterday; Mr. W. Chester in the ehair. The proceed ings were enthusiastic, seal resolutions to the following effect were carried unanimously:-1. The meeting pro tested with horror and indignation against the atrocitiee committed by the Sheffield sawgrinders and the Man chester briclumakers, and disapproved of everything tend ing to coercion and personal violence. 2. The meeting protested against the wholesale condemnation of the great amalgamated union of the country, and urged the neces sity of increased union for the prevention of strikes. 3. The meeting, while deploring the atrocious acts perpe trated at Manchester sad Sheffield, express its conviction that they could not have taken place bad the proceedings of the unions been under the control of the executive council instead of such men as Broadhead. The meeting, therefore, counselled artisium to enrol themselves with amalgamated societies only. CaYsTat PALACE. 0211 SHILLING DAY. MONDAY.

There was a second charge against the prisoner of having forged and uttered a like document for the sum of 271. 10e. Mr. Poland conducted the prosecution ; and Mr. Ribton appeared for the defence. Them cases occupied the court for several hours, and the circumstances under which the charges were preferred against the prisoner were of a somewhat complicated and unusual character. With reference to the first charge of forging a receipt for 1/. 65., it appeared that the prisoner was on intimate terms with a'Mr. Wilkinson, a professor of music, residing at Notting-bill, and that the latter had been summoned to the Marylebone County Court for a debt of 21. 12s. An order was made that a portion of thin debt should be paid forthwith and the remainder in twenty-eight days and the case on the part of the prose cution was that the 1/. Os. had been given to the prisoner to pay into the court, and that he neglected to pay it. The consequence of this was that an execution issued against the goods of Mr. Wilkinson, and upon the prisoner being applied to for an explanation, be asserted that the money had been paid, and he produced a document purporting to be the receipt of one of the officers of the county court for the amount, and be at the same time said that the execution had been issued in consequence of the mistake of a clerk. It turned out that the money never bad in fact been paid, and that the receipt that had been pro duced by the prisoner was a forgery, and under these cir cumstances the prisoner was charged with forging and uttering the receipt in question. The defence that was set up for the prisoner upon this was, that be bad been deceived by a clerk in his til r ogyment, and that he had actually placed the money in his hands for the purpose of paying it in to the court, and that he had not done so, and had since absconded. A witness was called who deposed to three facts. The jury, after a good deal of deliberation, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The prisoner was then tried upon the second charge of forging a receipt for 271. 10s. This prosecution was also instituted by the same prose cuter. It appeared that in June last Mr. Wilkinson was desirous of raising some money, and the prisoner drew • bill of exchange for 201., at one month's date, which he accepted. The prisoner afterwards got this bill dis counted, and just as it became due went to the wife of the prosecutor and told her that she must be ready to pay the bill when it became due. She asked for time, and a day or two afterwards the prisoner went to her again and said that the bill must be paid at once, and if it was not three writs would be issued ; and he at the same time produced what he repre sented to be copies of these writs. A r uantion then made that some money should be bor rowed from a loan office, and this appeared to have been carried out, and the prisoner received a sum of 281., the discount for a bill for 311. 10s. 6d., the remainder being ap plied for discount. With this money the prisoner seemed to have paid the 201. bill and 31. 10a. for interest, and he subsequently produced &document which purported to be a receipt given by Mr. Lamb a solicitor in Southampton buildings, for the sum of 271. 10s, for the debt and coats relating to the 20/. bill. It turned out, however, that no writs had been issued in the matter, and that Mr. Lamb had nothing whatever to do with the transaction. The defence in this case also was that the clerk referred to in the former case was the party to blame in the trans action, and that there was no intention to defraud on the part of the prisoner. The jury found the prisoner Guilty upon this charge. The Recorder, in passing sentence, expressed him concur rence in the verdict, and he at the same time observed that the act of the prisoner was very much aggravated by his having resorted to the expedient of fabricating sham write, in order to carry out his scheme for defrauding the prosecutor. He therefore felt himself called upon to sen tence him to be kept in penal servitude for five years. Maurice Ahrenfeld, 21, a respectable looking yountz wi plaided guilty to a great many indictments, which him with obtaining goods by false pretences, and also with forgery. The prisoner, it will be recollected, had carried on an extensive system of fraud upon tradesmen in the City, by purchasing articles, and paying for them with cheques in different names on the City Rank, where he had no account. The prisoner was sentestesd to seven years' penal ser vitude. 2'BE EXTENSIVE KtAII I SON CITY MER :HANTS At the Mansion House yesterday, Juliu■ Hugo Levinstein, of Soutligate-road, 'Alston, underwent a final examin►tion before the Lord Mayer, on the charge of con spiring with Hermann Mecklenburg and others not in custody and obtaining by means of false pretences, between _ ith June and 20th.September,a quantity of linens value about 346/. from Messrs. Crawford and Lindsay, of 26, Milk-street, Cheapeide. There was also a second charge of fraudulently obtaining about 6001. worth of goods from Messrs. Pim Brothers, of 30, Milk-street, Cheapside. Mr. Straight, instructed by Mr. Colley, solicitor, of No. 4, Austin-friars, appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Beard, solicitor, conducted the defence. . . Froin the evidence on the two former examinations it appeared that Mecklenburg, for whose arrest a warrant has been lamed, called at Messrs. Crawford and Lindsay's towards the end of June, and representing that he waa the London agent of Messrs. Levinstein Brothers, of Berlin, requested to see certain samples of linen. These were sent to an office at 38, Lombard-street, where busi ness waa transacted under the designation of " J. and H. Mecklenburg." On that occasion goods were ordered to the extent of 291. 14s. 81, and Mecklenburg called again on the 23rd of July and ordered more. In the middle of August he called a third time, accompanied by Levinstein, and gave a further order, the goods on each occasion being entered to Levinstein Brothers, Berlin. On the 3rd of September payment was asked of en account amounting to 121/. 55., when Levinstein tendered a bill for 1191. Hs. tkl., and paid the remainder in cash. Concerning the alleged connexion between the prisoner and Mecklenburg, evi dent* was given by a person named Adolphe Jungtau, who deposed that he was employed by Levinstein in the capacity of clerk, in an O&M 131 Berry•COUlt, St. Mary-axe, and that Levinstein told him he was a partner of Mecklen burg's. He further deposed to being sent to Rotterdam for the purpose of opening an office under the name of a ficti tious firm, and that a quantitity of linen which arrived there was put in pledge by Mecklenburg, who had come from London for the purpose of disposing of the goods. At the desire of Mr. Beard, Jungtau was yesterday re called, and repeated his statement as to Levinsteia him that he was a partner of Mesklenburg's. He (witness had been in the service of Levinstein since April, end not yet been discharged. He had not since been in any one else's service. Levinstein promised him a weekly salary of 11., and had paid him a portion, but not si They were always alone when Levinstein aid him. Wit ness knew a person named Stoves, but could not recollect whether he had had any conversation with him since the last examination. On the question being repeated several times the witness admitted that he had seen Stoven since the last examination, but that he could not remember what their conversation was though be should be hanged. (Laughter.) Mr. Beard—Did you not offer Stoven a sum of money if he would give evidence against the prisoner? Witness—l did not. liii.BeardLiVeW you in prison eighteen months for appropriating mossy belonging to a bank in Berlin ? Witness—l will not answer the question. It has nothing to do with this ease.. _ . (chief clerk)—On the last occasion he said he had been imprisoned for two months. Cross-examination continued—l was sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment, but at the endof two months I was released pending an appeal. At this moment I am liable to the remaining 18 months' imprisonment. The next witness called in support of the ease was a person named Leon, a perfumer, who stated that in September Mecklenburg asked him to take some a over to Rotterdam, which be did. He knew Levinstein, and had seen him at Mecklenburg's of in Lombard-street. At Rotterdam he saw Jungtau. The goods he took to Rotterdam consisted of about forty pieces of linen, which had been got from Messrs. Crawford and Lindsay, and some poplin from Menem Pim Brothers. His instructions were to sell them at the best price, but in eonsequenoe of some information from witness, Mecklen burg came over, and the goods were pledged for 112/. From this sum witness deducted his own expenses, and paid the remainder to Mecklenburg. John Thomas Hadrian, cashier at Mews. Crawford and Lindsay's, said he took the bill for 1191. lls. W. back to the office in Lombard-street, and, seeing Lesinstein, told him that the account was due on cash, and that he conse quently could not take the bill, which had 54 days to run. Ultimately Levinstein agreed to pay 3 per cent. interest on the bill. This amounted to 10a. 7d., and prisoner gave him 10e., stating that be had made an entry and that the alteration would be tether made if he gave him 10e. than it would be ff he gave him 10s. 7d. The bill became due on Saturday and he took it to Cutts's, but the reply was that they had no order to pay. Leon was recalled at this stage and in reply to the Lord Mayor stated that the goods which he took to Rotterdam had been at Meeklenburg's house, and not at the office in Lombard-street Mr. Straig ht this was as far as he could carry the case with re ference to Crawford and Lindaity, but there was another charge against the prisoner, preferred by Mears. Pim Brothers, on whom Mecklenburg called on the 10th of July, and chose samples in the same way as he had dons at Mesas. Crawford and Lindsay's. On a subsequent occasion he again called in company with Levinstein, and an order was given for goods to the value of 911. 19s. Bd. It further appeared that when Mr. Tart, who woe in the employment of the Messrs. Pim, went to the office at 58. Lombard-street, he there saw the prisoner, who represented to him that be wu doubly connected with Levinstein Brothers at Berlin, being con nected with them by marriage, and that was probably the reason of none of the Lerinstoin Brothers being present to give evidence. Altogether the goods obtained from Messrs. Pim amounted to a very large sum ; and here again, as in the other ease, they found that Levinstein paid for them, and generally acted the part of a cashier. Even supposing Levinatein Brothers did authorise these persons to act for them, the goods were obtained by fraudulent means, for they were never sent to Berlin at all, in accor dance with the representation on the faith of which they had been supplied. On the contrary, it was proved that Levinstein gave directions to Jtingtau to open an office at Rotterdam and put up the name of Nathaniel Hope and Co., the object being there to receive goods which ought to have gone on to Berlin. Mr. Beard remarked that the learned counsel for the prosecution made a very great show at the outset of what he intended to prove; but he bad signally failed in proving any of three elements which were essential to a charge of conspiracy. The evidence was most incomplete, and he sub mitted that as the prosecutors bad failed to establish their case the defendant was entitled to his discharge. The Lord Mayor said be was bound to admit that the case as far as the legal evidence went was very feeble ; but seeing the character of the witnesses and the tenor of their evidence, and knowing their antecedents, be could not help observing that there was an evasion and a frustra tion of the course of justice. The people at Berlin had retuned to come forward ; but no one could doubt that there had been a gross and audacious swindle, anal be was glad the case had been brought here, because the publica tion of all the names must have the effect s of putting people a little on their guard. He was unable to bring the case home to this prisoner, and the evidence was not @effi cient to enable him to mend the seas for trial, but he had no hesitation whatever in coming to a conclusion as to the real character of the transactions in which the prisoner had been concerned. The defendant was then discharged. INHUKAN TRRATMENT OF STOWAWAY/1. —Captain Lodge, of the barque T. H. Armstrong, has been arraigned in New Orleans on • charge of inhuman treatment to two orphan boys, named Thomas Costello and Thomas Furlong, who stowed themselves on beard the barque at LiverpooL Thomas Costello testified as follows :—ls about 15 years of age and an orphan. On the 29th of April, 1867 he and another boy Denied Thomas Furlong went on based the T. H. Armstrong, as she was about leaving Liverpool, and hid themselves. The barque left shortly afterward', and when beyond the pilot station they came out of their hriding places and went on deck. Captain Lodge, the accused, called to them, " You —, where do you come from; what are you doing here r and imme diately ordered them to be tied to • stanchion. Captain Lodge then tied him to • stanchion, tied his hands behind his back, got • sharp stick of wood from the first mate and rested one end on the deck and put the other end—the sharp one—under his chin, forcing his head backward, causing him great pain and offering. lie remained thus tied, with his bead forced backward, for nearly eight hours, during which time amused repeatedly came up to him, caught him by the throat, and choked him, and madi; hint drink forcibly half • pint of sea water at • time. Accused, daring the whole voyage, ill treated him, and on several occasions beat him. After be had been released from the stanchion, accused made him strip himself and get into a tub (made front a half beef tierce) filled with sea water and lime ' and ordered him to wash himself. Accused then called the boy Thos. Furlong, and made him rub witness with a hard brush, and then his naked body with a coarse sand papsr—witnese's body being then sore and bleeding. Amused at several different times made Furlong wash witness in the sea water and lime, rub him with a hard brush, and then with sand paper, as already stated. Witness suffered greatly from the effects if the washing and rubbing, and is yet sore from it. All this occurred on the voyage from Liverpool to Havana. At Havana witness left the barque. went on shore, and shipped on the barque Sheffield. but the ac cused had him brought back on board and put in irons ; and while in irons seemed beat him on the head with • (dab and bootjack, the marks of which blows Sr. yet visible. The club in court is the one the accused beat him with. The barque left Havana and went to Ma tanzas, and thence to New Orleans. During the voyage from Havana to New Orleans accused repeatedly beat him with the club. Oa the arrival of the barque at this port, thesteward on the barque made an affidavitagainst accused on witness's behalf before Commissioner Holland, and the captain was arrested. Cross-examined—When witness went on board at Liverpool he thought the barque was going to New York, where he understood he could get work ; he could get none in Liverpool, and had no money, and went on board and hid himself till the barque waa at ess. Judge Holland held the accused to bail in 5,000 dole. to answer the charge, remarking—l have patiently listened to the evidence in this case, and must say that during over 30 years' experience in different judicial positions in this city, I have never heard of more barbarous and inhuman treatment of men than the evidence in this case discloses. THE NY:TERIOL l MURDERS IN STAFFORD MIRE. Yesterday, the inquest was resumed at Arley, in South Staffordshire, on the remains of an infant child that had been found in • pit shaft in a (Topple* in that parish adjoining the Royal Forest of Wyre , under circum stances already hiM reported in this journal The coroner was Mr. W. H. Pps, of Wolvethampton, and he weal accompanied by Mr. Baker, the government inspector of mines for the district. The coroner and the wines in spector went to the coppice, which was about lA mile from the place of the inquest, and made an examination of the pit shaft as far as was possible, and also of the surrounding locality. The mines inspector pronounced a decided opinion that the shaft was that of an old colliery, and that there had been other pits worked in the same locality many years ago. After Mr. Thomas Holyoake, surgeon, of Kisser, had deposed that the remains of the infant that had been found were wrapped first in calico garments, with blood upon them, then in a guano bag, weighted with • brick, the inqu est was ad. journed for six months, to allow time for the police to make further inquiries. TheCeroner, approving the deaden to which the jury had come, said that there was " very, very strong suspicion indeed, that the foul crime of murder had been committed , and, therefore, the jury ought to make every inquiry into the matter in their power. The jury were then sworn to investigate the cir cumstances attending the finding of certain other remains discovered in the same pit. Police-Sergeant Baldwin, sta tioned at Ravine, deposed that he was searching in the pit after the remains of the infant were diaoovered on the th inst., and found certain bones tied together with a cord. Afterward, he found other bones. He handed them to Mr. Holyoake, surgeon, on the 10th inst. Had made every inquiry &I AD' neighbourhood, and could not bear of any child having been lost. Mr. Holyoake deposed that certain bones were those of • child aged about six )ears, and that the other bones were those of a child aged four or five. tlf the elder the bones were two thigh and two shin bones, the arm bones complete, and some foot bones. The cord was round the bones of the footandshin,and round two of the bones of the arm, so that the child would be tied hand and foot. The size of the coil of the rope would correspond with the site of the arm and leg of • child of the age of six with flesh upon it. The bones of the younger child were one thigh, one shin, one splint, and one radius. These all were brought to him with some bones also of some animals. The children's bones might have been in the pit perhaps 10 years. He had found no fractures on any of the bones. The Coroner said that the rope being round the bones was as strong evidence as the jury could have, in the decayed state of the remains, that there had been foul play in respect certainly of one of the children, and he should recommend them to adopt the same coulee in these oases as in the case of the infant. He did not think the jury would be doing their duty unless every opportunity were afforded the police of thoroughly investigating the mat ter. It was then resolved that this second inquest also should be adjourned till that day six months. Mr. Wood ward, in reply to the coroner, said he had no doubt that the rope having been embedded in clay and leaves would have preserved it from decay throughout ten years, espe cially if it bad been tarred, which seemed now to have been the case. THE POLICE COURTS. BOUTIIW4R/L Mary Ann Jones, 50, a Welshwoman, for some time cohabiting with • returned convict, was brought before Mr. Burnham for final examination, charged with fraudu lently obtaining about 171. from Mary Jones, • poor widow, also • native of Wales, under false pretence.. Mr. H. Allen, the prosecuting °Meer of the Associate Institution for Enforcing the Laws for the Protection of Women, was in attendance on behalf of that society. It appeared from the evidence of the proseentrix, • poor hardworking woman, residing in Brent's-court, High street, that about the end of July last the prisoner came to her house and stated that, being a lone Welsh woman, and not understanding English, she wanted • lodging for • few days until she obtained a largo sum of money from the Bank of England. She showed witness several parchments and letters, but not being able to read. she could not tell what they were about. Witness lent her 30a. to go to the Bank, and a day or two afterwards the prisoner read a letter which she said she bad just received from the Bank, informing her that the 600/, due to her would be paid her in a few Lys. The prisoner then borrowed more money, and the trig was induced to draw her hard-earned savings theC e r savings bank, and altogether she advanced her 17/. After that early one morning the prisoner decamped, and feeling satisfied that she had been swindled, wittier attended the court and obtained • warrant for her appre hension. Sergeant Pope, 6 M. said that after the prisoner was apprehended, he found in her possession two parch ments, which were entirely useless, and a lot of letters showing that the proseentrix was not the only victim she had swindled. The deeds were got up by a ticket-of leave man with whom she had lived, and who was last year convicted of bigamy. Witness had since the last remand inquired at the Bank of England, and had aacer- Mined that she was not entitled to a farthing from that establishment, and that she never had any money there. The prisoner here said that she had spent all the money on the children of the prcwecutrix. That, however, was denied. Mr. Burcham observed that it was a heartless fr►ud, and committed her for trial. THAMES. Caroline Iktrille, alias arentille, • young lady, was brought before Mr. Benson, charged with smuggling 241 b. of foreign manufactured tobacco and cigars, which had not paid duty. Mr. Thomas Edward Mogg, examining officer of customs, add that he was engsged in overhauling luggage of the passengers in the Schwan, • German steamship from Bremen, the previous morning. The prisoner was one of the pa•sengers. He examined • very large box or chest which belonged to her, and caked her if she bad anything liable to duty. She replied in broken English that she had nothing about her or in the box that wag contraband. He examined the goods in the prisoner's box, and among them was • feather pillow and a bag tied up very tight. He opened the pillow and discovered a pound of cigars and a pound and a half of foreign manufactured tobacco, mixed up with the feathers. The pillow had been ripped up to admit of the introduction of the cigars and tobacco, and sewn up again. The prisoner, in defence, said she was a foreigner, and ignorant of English laws. She did not know anything about the cigars or tobacco. She did not smoke or chew. Mr. Benson—Very likely; but you are accused of con- cealing the tobacco and cigars. The prisoner said • friend put then in the pillow. Mr. Benson said the smuggling was done so ingeniously that he must fine the prisoner 20e., which was double the value and duty of the tobacco and cigars, which her friend ought to pay for her if her statement was true. The prisoner smiled, handed the fine to Roche the gaoler, and asked the mtrate for the tobacco and cigars. Mr. Bens on—They are forfeited to the crown. SMOCKING 3117RDER IN IRELAND.—The Nenagh correspondent of the Dvblia Express writing on Satur day says I have just received intelligence of a most brutal murder committed in Templeroore on Monday last (the fair day), and although the unhappy victim lingered from that day until yesterday, yet during the interval he was totally unconscious, and consequently unable to afford any clue to the assassin. It appears that about two o'clock p.m. on the day in question, Mr. Robert Harnett, a respectable farmer, residing at Heigh, in the neighbourhood of Borrisoleigh, was at tending the fair, and as he was standing in the main street he was struck down by &Plow of • heavy black thorn stick, heavily loaded at one end, literally smash ing the unfortunate man's skull in pieces. Although the murder was committed at noon day, and in the presence of crowds of people assembled at the fair, the cowardly assassin has escaped, up to the present at all events, and no clue has been found whereby he can be brought to justice. Mr. Harnett lin gered up to yesterday, when he succumbed to the fear ful effects of the blows. Mr. O'Meara, coroner, held an inquest before a respectable jury, when • verdict of ' Wilful murder, against some person or persons un known,' was returned. The unfortunate deceased was much respected in his neighbourhood, and no Cause can be assigned for the murder except that • fracas occurred sonic two or three years ago between some men.bers of his family and other parties, returning from the races of Nor wood, and the Harnett. prosecuted the other party to con viction at • subsequent quarter sessions. Be7ond this there seems to have been no other cause for this terrible murder. The deceased has left • wife and large family to mourn his untimely end."

THE BRITISH CORN TRADE. (From the Mark -Lane iteprem) The weather daring the past week was rather wet, but quite warm for several days, so as almost to dis parage horse-labour and increase the slugs while the grass has renewed its strength, with • prospect of I bite up to Christmas. Wheat-sowing has been proceeding, and a quick growth may be expected to follow the early-planted pieces. Farmers continuing to thrash more freely, and importations being fair, with the prospect of an open winter in the Baltic, the reaction downwards on wheat has gone further to about 3.. per qr. down. With a mild lesson, there may still be some temporary decline ; but a return to cold would be calculated to stop the movement, a as and bring about another advance, the week closed rather dearer for foreign. The want of old English wheat continua to be felt, end this must lead to a large and rapid consumption of the late Imports, and we believe every sack that an be spared from the continent will be wanted. America can do little this year ; the Baltic has been doing its best for some time, without sending enough ; and it is only to Russia that we can look for any amount, whose ports in the mildest season are fast cloud in 'Fitter. Some of our contemporaries have anticipated as early deluge of grain on our shores ; others scarcely believe it is wanted; but with all the fluctuations that may obtain between now and harvest, we think great efforts will have to be made towards the close of the season, to meet the present enormous consumption, and that clod prices mat be paid. Rye on the Con tinent has been much higher than wheat wee here last year, and the effects of the scarcity of this grain on the popu lation of Germany is yet to be seen. With all the changes, no fine wheat has been procurable from Ma xie under 835,, coat and freight included, and freights have so risen at New York in consequence of orders from England, that only about 40,000 qrs. wheat have been shipped, and prime finally favoured buyers. Such • supply from such • port can be considered only as tit. fling , and, as Paris at the week's close was recovering from the ate decline, we may expert that London will soon revive, and rata be very likely to rule as high as before. The arrivals off the coast sines October 18th were 117 cargoes, of which 95 cargoes were wheat 5 main, 5 barley, 6 rye, 6 beans. Bnees was reported as follows: -wheat, 78 cargoes in all, vie., Glair& 60e. to 69e. 6d. Marianopoli 71a. Berdianski 70s. to 72a., Pariovski 61s. 6d. to 62e. 6d., Caucasian 645., Polish 665. to 70s. 6d. Sandomirka 72a. to 745., Egyptian 52a. 6d. to 58e, Kali fat and Seitchik 62.,, Burgos 64m, Banat 64e., Californian 70m, Danubian 61.. 3d. to 62.. maize, 1 ditto, at 46.. barley, 19 ditto, at 31s. 6 1. to 365. ; rye, 2 ditto, at 475. to 49a. ; beans, 3 ditto, at 40s. to 41s. 3d. The sales of English wheat noted last week were 79,292 qrs. at 67e. ed., against 73,880 qrs. in 1866. The London averages were Bd. on 3,419 qrs. The imports into the kingdom for the week ending Oct. 19th were 542,356 cwt• wheat, and 48,489 cram flour. Monday in Mark-lane commenced on moderate arrivals of wheat, both English and foreign. The show of samples on the Essex stands was the best this season, and pretty fair from Sent; the condition generally good, but quality various. A oom plate reaction took place in the market, millers declining to operate unless at • large reduction. Factors would have accepted a decline of 3s. to 4.. to make a clearance ; but the samples hung on hand. Foreign was not so much reduced, a few sales at 2s. per qr. less money being made ; but floating cargoes were Is. to 4s. per qr. lower. On Wed nesday there weres6oqrs. per coat, 17,020 qrs. foreign. This day's market was very quiet, and there were scarcely any samples of English wheatcleared, though offered at Monday's prima. The foreign trade was calm ; but holden were not anxious to prase sales at any dectine. Friday's returns were 1,530 qrs. coastwise, 24,450 qrs. foreign. The re mains of Monday's and Wednesday's samples of English quality were more readily disposed of, at fully the pre vious currency. The foreign trade was in better tone, and le per qr. advance realised on fine qualities of Russian and Baltic. There was a good supply of country flour on Monday, with fair foreign arrivals, chiefly barrels from New York. The state of the wheat market made it im possible to sell country sorts unless at is. to 2s. per sack reduction, and there was very little done at that Foreign was as much cheaper, though holden did not press, with bat small stocks. Town qualities were unaltered in value. On Wednesday there were 770 sake per coast, 1,850 sacks 6,690 brim foreign. This day was very dull, and scarcely an • was passing in Norfolk. or otheroonntrysorts. French also was • heavy sale, and barrels excessively difficult to dispose of. Friday'. returns were 1,080 sacks costwar, 2,140 sacks 9,240 barrels foreign. No higher prices could then be realised,either for the country or foreign qualities, but the depression of the previous markets had then passed away. There was but awoderate arrival of maize on Mon day, and prices remained much as previously. With ar rivals reaching on Friday to s,zo qrs., business was dull on that day. The supply of Bristish barley on Monday continued small : but foreign arrivals were improved. Malt ing sorts with difficulty supported former rates, and it was the same with foreign, both medium and low aorta. On Wednesday there were 1,170 qrs. per coast 1,040 quarters foreign. With limited supplies, the trade was stead both as respects the better qualities of English end all descriptions of foreign. Friday's arrivals coastwise were 1,360 qrs., with 1,040 qrs. foreign and 20 qr. from Ireland. Without further supplies, business was very steady, and prices firm for all qualities. The melt trade was quiet on Monday, with prices unchanged. The trade at the close of the week was without change as to prices and demand. There was • good, but not large, supply of foreign oats on Monday, with fair arrivals of English and Irish growth. The late rise was not sus tained, and prices of old gave way fully Is. per qr., while inferior new were still cheaper, and 'very difficult to quit. On Wednesday there were 150 qrs. per oast, 1,100 qrs. Irish, and 22,410 qrs. foreign. Rather more was then doing than on Monday, though prices were not called higher, either for English or foreign aorta. Friday's re turns were 150 qra. coastwise, 2,500 qis. Irish, and 31,810 qrs. foreign. There war then a better demand, and the values of all descriptions of oats were tending upwards. The arrivals of beans on Monday were good, both in English and foreign qualities. Nevertheless, there was a quiet trade, at previous rates. The market closed firm on Friday. The supply of peas was again very limited. Boilers were again pointing rather upwards, and those for bog feed were quite as dear. Boilers on Friday were again held at more money. With but moderate arrivals of linseed, sales progressed but slowly at former rates. Seeds generally were firm, but not active, tares excepted, which continued dull. The wheat trade in the country wee very much influenced in some places by the Mark-lane decline of Monday. At Boston the decline was 4e. to 6.., at Loath it was 4s. to ss. per qr. St. Ives, Newcastle, Wolverhampton, and some other towns te. re duction was reported ; but more commonly it was 2a. to 3s. per qr., and some reports noted only Is. to 2.5. per qr. decline. Liverpool was quite • nominal market. Oats and barley were also down is., but beaus and peas were fully as dear. Edinburgh was down 2s. to 3s. per qr. for new wheat, and Is. to 2.. per qr. for old, barley and oats being Is. per qr. lower. Glasgow was Is. to 2s. per boll cheaper for wheat, for ate 6d. to Is., and 11111/11111 Is. per 2801 a. Dublin, with good native supplies of wheat, was cleared at la. to 2s. per barrel decline ; foreign was le. 6d. per barrel down : oats 6d. to 9d., and barley Is. to 2m, but maize was only dull.

Although the field has repeatedly changed hands scarcely a yea: has passed without some deaths occurring among the stock—altogether 37 bullocks have died in the field. it addition to some sheep and a hone, their gross value being ►bout 501301. The greatest losers were Mr. Joshua Thomas, who lost fifteen bullocks ; Mr. Martin Bed eleven bul locks and one horse ; end Mr. Nicholas Thomas, seven bullocks. The cause of death has been a mystery, but woe generally believed to be from eating some poisonous herb, and • mystery it would still have remained, had not Mr. Joshua Thomas, on the death of another cow about a fortnight ago, wisely determined to have the matter thoroughly investigated. He accordingly sent for Mr. Tucker, veterinary inspector for the district, who made a poet mortem examination of the animal. Being unable to discover any dines* to account for death, Mr. Tucker took a portion of the stomach and bowels and forwarded it to Professor Heripath, of Bristol, who reports that the result of his analysis proves that the cow died from the effects of • large dose of strychnine. As all the animals that have been seen to die have exhibited the same symptoms, and in every case death had occurred very suddenly, there is but little doubt that all of them were poisoned, and it is suspected by the some diabolissl hand. The police am actively engaged in trying to discover the culprit, and it is to be hoped they will be eneeseatul.—Wesiens Morning News.
