The February session of the Central Criminal Court wa opened this morning by the Right Hon. the Lord }favor (Alderman Allen), Russell Gurney, Esq., Q.C., the e e .order, Alderman ,?Alomons, M.P., Alderman Gibbons, Alderman end Sheriff Stone, Mr. Sheriff - WArthur, the under sheriffs &a. The liras edition of the calendar contains the names of 116 prisoners, 98 males and 18 females, and the offences charged against them are thus described :—Arson 1, as sault with attempt to rob 2, bigamy 3, burglary 14, church breaking and larceny 2, uttering counterfeit coin 16, em berelenient2, feloniously casting corrosive fluid 1, forgery 2, housebreaking and warehouse breaking and larceny, 4 ; larceny li, larceny from the person b, stealing a poet letter 1, misdemeanour 16, murder 1, receiving stolen goods 1, feloniously assaulting • female 1, robbery 14, feloniously shooting 1, treason felony 3, and feloniously wounding 2. Some of the prisoners are out on bail. The Recorder in charging the grand jury said there was • calm of • very extraordinary character against three person@ ef the name of Lyttleton, McCarthy, and Richard son, such as had not been before the court for • period of .0 years. It wart brought under as act passed in the 11th and 12th years of the reign of our present sovereign retitled "An act for the better securing the government and crown of the United Kingdom." By that net it was provided that if any person should imagine or intend to ilepooe our most gramme Queen, her heirs orsuccessors, and inch intention should be expressed, uttered, or declared, iv any overt sets or deeds, every such person should be t . tilty of felony. This was an offence which, previous to the parsing of that act, would have amounted to high treason. The charge, as he had said, was not of the mina :eerie of proceedings in that court, and be was bound to ,ay it was not supported by the evidence he should t, ye expected in • case of this description. The 1.,t evidence was that of two detective ...;rumen who would state that in the month of December the prisoner Lyttleton was watched by them, and that he fiA4 si en on a particular day going in a cer tain direction with two or three other persons. The officers followed, and, concealed behind some brick', beard him make use (4 the expression, "It is quite time this b—y govenonent was overthrown ; we want a re. ohldir. and we will have it," or, "we must Lore it. The next piece of evidence was that of • penes hulled Lontall who described himself as having been America, that he had come here on a visit, •nti that he was about to return. He stated that in the month of January he accidentally met lvitleton in the street, that some conversation took between them, and that a few days after s di, on the 19th of January, he met Lyttleton, noon named O'Leary, who described hinuelf Fenian centre, but was not included in the present t, and the two other prisoners, llTarthy and I:ahardson. After some conversation they proceeded to a nther public-house, and went into a private room and ked the door. There he stated that he was asked to ,o• a Fenian oath, bat said he should wish to hear first. It was then administered by Lyttleton to'Leary, and the latter kissed the book. The .h was next repeated to Boatel], but he refused take it. The learned Recorder having stated •i circumstances of the case at some length, ofirhich the I ,Tgiiing is an outline, remarked that it would be meas. ...ry for the establishment of the charge to chow that there • an intention to depose the Queen, and that that inten a.ii should be shown by some overt acts. The overt to here alleged were the administering of th, 4iath first of all to O'Leary and subsequently the endeavour to administer it to Bontall, and the Recorder directed the grand jury to direct their otc ention principally to the evidence of Bontall, on which t ease mainly depended. The account Bontall gave of Clasen' was that he was not in any way employed by the ; at the same time he stated that he was t 1..• cousin of one of the detectives who over t. .ird the conversation in the month of December ki,d at the time he was living in that detective's house. IN further rested that some time previous to the itith of January be had been in communication with the police, and that on the Wednesday before he gave some nformation respecting the prisoner Lyttleton. Of :curse the case mainly depended upon his evidence. They would then require to ascertain if it was confirmed in any way, and the only evidence in confirms- Len, if it could be called confirmation, was that of landlord and potman of the pudic -house, who .1. paved to the fact of the prisoners and Bontall • into the private room on the occasion re f, 11.4 to • but their account differed from that F is.-a by flontell as to the details of the visit. They *tinal that Lyttleton did not go in at first, and that ri i...ary went out and persuaded him to gels. He called Lein attention to this variance, rather because of the de- ,as set up. Richardson and M'Carthy were cid constables, and their statement was that they were told that there was an opportunity if ipprehentling a Fenian, and that in consequence of that 11 y went into this room ; and it was a remarkable fact tley took Dental into custody on the charge of Fe b...M.lli. but the inspector aware that be was in comma nic.itiou with the police, discharged him, and then Bon tall subsequently returned and made his charge. These a, re the circumstances, and it would be their duty to consider whether, on the whole evidence, they should return a tnie bill or not. 7 They Eerorder briefly addressed the jury in reference to eein, of the other cases, and they then retiree! for delibe ration. THE CLERKENWELL OUTRAGE. .frron;ni. Alkn, one of the prisoners who was under ( lamination with the Damon& and Anne Justice and others, charged with the crime of wilful murder, art-ing out of the Fenian outrage in Clerkenwell, was I,l,ced at the bar to plead to the coroner's inquisition wl ,ch charged him with the mane offence. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. _ _ It sill be remembered that at the last examination at l'..wvtreet the counsel for the crown abandoned the against the prisoner; but as the first coroner's jury bad entered a verdict of wilful murder against him, It was necessary that this inquisition should be dis• pos. d of. _ _ _ Air. Poland briefly stated the facts, and said that it was not intended on the part of the crown to offer anyecidenee in support of the coroner's inquisition. The Jury accordingly returned a verdict of Not Guilty, and the prisoner was ordered to be discharged. POLICE COURTS.-(THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. AN/10T1W0 TIM MEMOIRS OP WEST-END CLUJE. Elizatnth Lancaster was charged before Mr. Tyrwhltt by Many Burrell, barrister-at-law, residing at No. 36, Duke street, St. James's, with begging in Pall-mall.

THE DESTRUCTION OP PORTMAN NAKKEr. LATEST PARTICULARS.-(THIS DAY.) It is almost impossible to describe the misery that nearly 100 of the unfortunate inmates of the many shops that have been destroyed by the fire which occurred yesterday morning in Portman-market have been plunged into. In many cases the poorpeople havelest every thing they Some were fortunate enough to obtain shelter mrbritight in the neighbouring public-houses, but the numbers of the hoieeless being so large, accommodation could not be found for the whole, and, as slut resource, they were content to sleep in the market carts until daybreak, the wind at the time blowing ball a gale. Nearly half the sufferers were uninrured, and their loss will therefore be severely felt. There can be little doubt the fire commences' in the boot and shoe ware houses of Mr. Robert Johnson, No. 2a in the market, and then esughtthe adjoining premises, No. lz, belonging to Mr. Bridges, ironmonger. From those two buildings the flames were forced in various directions, until 20 of the buildings were blazing away at one time, and large flakes of burning wood were sent flying over and upon the roofs of the houses in New Church-street, as well as on to the roof of the Marylebone Theatre. At onetime it wee feared that the theatre would also have been destroyed, bus several land steam engines were set to work, and they and the brigade were enabled by attacking the fire at each point to stop its further progress, and tLereby many houses in front were saved, as well as the theatre. The twenty shops and dwellings were, however, destroyed before the fire was extinguished. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY ELECTION. (ET TELZONAPIL) 01.011 ODZ OWN CODRESPC CAMBRIDGE, MONDLY Mos.volo..

A return was issued this morning of every mer chant vessel or steamer engaged in the Abyssinian expedi tion chartered in England, with the net and gross register tonnage of each ship, the hors►power of each engine, the price per ton for which each vessel is chartered, and the names of the owners and broken. From this return it ap pears that eighteen ships have been chartered for the ser vice, one of which (the Bosphorus), has been lost. The largest vessel is the Queen, of 3,517 tons burden (includ ing engine room), and of 350 horse power, belonging to the National Steam Navigation Company, Liverpool ; and the smallest is the Venetia, of 754 tom, 150-horse power, be longing to the Ocean Steam Navigation Company. The highest rate per ton per mouth is paid for the Queen, being, if discharged at home, 375. 6d. ; and if abroad three months additional pay. The lowest rate is paid for the Coumoundouros, viz , 245. od. if discharged at home, and 10s. if discharged abroad. In the case of the Parana the charge is the same (25a.) both at home and abroad. The gross tonnage of the 14 ships chartered by the government is 34,237 tons, and the aggregate steam power is equivalent to 4,670 horses. This return was moved for by Mr. Richard Young, and is signed by Capt. W. R. Mends, the director of transport services. 71t4RING-CROSS HOTEL COMPANY (LIMITED). The half•yearly meeting of the shareholders was held at half-past 11, at the hotel ; the lion. JANZ9 Bin in the chair. The report was as follows:—" The directors have the gratification to report to the proprietors the continued prosperity of the company. It will be seen from the accounts that the profit on the business done during the past six months is 10,7.381. 1311. Bd., after placing 2 0001 . , to the credit of the reserve fond f or ' repairs and renewals, 2,4091. 4s. 10d.

Bd., together with 1,0811. 13s. ld. brought forward from last half-year, will amount to 11,1101. 6s. 9d. With the sanction of the proprietors, your directors propose that • dividend at the rate of 12 per cent per annum, free of income tax, be declared, amounting to 9,6001., and that the balance of 1,7301. fie. 9d. be carried over. The dividend warrants will be payable on and after the 2nd March next, at the Imperial Bank, Victoria-street, Westminster." The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, sad he bad nothing to add to it. The business was greater than in any preceding half-year. Tee receipts of the second ball of 1861; having been 33,000/., those of the last half-year were 39,8001. The business of 1867 would have caused every room in the house to be occupied every day for ten months and • half of the year, and as some of the rooms had been undergoing repairs it might he assumed that all the rooms available were occu pied every night during the season. The dividend also showed an increase, the board now recommending that it should be at the rate of 12 per cent. per annum, and a good balance would be carried forward. lir. C. W. EHORALL seconded the motion. Hr. G. HUGHES, one of the two auditor,, said he should have been contented with a dividend of 10 per cent., not considering it advisable to divide nearly all that was earned. Mr. Mason approved of the coarse taken by the directors u regarded the divklend. Mr. A. BEArris took the same view. As a shareholder, he had no hesitation in accepting the handsome dividend recommended. (Hear, hear.) Mr. 6.Srmi, the other auditor, likewise orsosidered the recommendation a proper one. Mr. TURNIR thought that some provision should be made for getting rid of the debenture debt. He would be glad to know for what amount the company was insured, especially baring regard to the resent fire. The CHAIRMAN, in reply, stated that the hotel was insnred for 113,0001., the amount effected on the railway company's booking offices being 15,000/. There was a sep►rate rental insurance of 18,250/. The total insurance for the hotel was 131,3201. As re garded the dividend, be said he should be glad to b e :;r: e rt something by, but the dividend had been honestly and the proprietors were fully entitled to it. The board had under their consideration • plan for meeting the evil of baring to renew debentures from time to time. Their object was to obtain one molt. gage. He had no doubt the company would always earn a handsome dividend, and he did not think the amount would ever be leas than 10 per cent. (Hear, hear.) The report was then adopted, and • dividend at the rate of 12 per cent. per annum having been declared, the meeting terminated with votes of thanks to the directors, the manager, Kr. lbw, and the secretary, Mr. G. S. Minn We are requested to state that the State apart ments of Windsor Castle will be closed on and after Wednesday next, the 26th instant, until further notice. The Irish Times says that the report of the railway commissioners is not yet completed, but it believes it may state with certainty that their recommendation . . . . will not be in favour of a purchase of the lines by the government, but of effective aaMatance being rendered to the various railway companies by loans on very advan tageous terms. The commissioners leave Dublin to-night ,for London. _ _ --- --- A sporting correspondent says that Lord Paton,- ham, who has bean staying in Yorkshire with Sir George Wombwell, has been astonishing the natives, not only by the hardness of his riding, but by the dexterity of his swimming, u when run away with the other day by a hard-pulling brute, who disappeared into the river with him, he " took to the water as keenly as an otter, and swam as well in his top-boots as Beckwith, the champion, at the Westminster Baths."

The ship Omega, of London, bound from Sunder land to Carthagene., with coals (says Mr. M. H. Botcher), struck on the Cookie Sand this moraine. She knocked her rudder away, cams off, and drove foul of the Cockle light ship, doing that vessel some damage, and having her own starboard broadside stove to. She then drove clear, and went over the north part of the Scroby Sand in a helpless sinking state. The wind was blowing strong from the north at the time, and there was a high sea running. A signal of distress was made, and the Yarmouth large lifeboat the Mark-lane, and the Caistor large lifeboat the Birmingham, No. 2, both belong ing to the National Lifeboat Institution, were thereupun promptly Launched. When the )lark-lane reached the vessel, which was then about eight miles off the land, she was boarded, and found to have II feet of water in the hold. Only seven of the crew, in eluding the captain and the North Sea pilot, were on board, and these men were rescued at grist risk by the two lifeboats, the master having to be dragged through the water for some little distance, the ship then being com pletely on her broadside, and shortly afterwards sinking. The two men who were saved by the Birmingham lifeboat having been transferred to the Mark-lane boat, the latter was towed back to her station by one of three steamers which had come out from Yarmouth, and the men were safely landed. The remainder of the crew, with the exception of the mate, who is supposed to be drowned, were saved by getting on board the Cockle light vessel, and have also been landed here. When the vessel sank she was fourteen or fifteen miles SM. of Lowestoft. PORTHCAWL, SOUTH WALES, FEB. 20. Thesmack Ann. of Rothsay, passed this port in distress during a stronggalefrom W. Is . W. yesterday morning (states the Rev. KD. Knight). The only man left on beard was seen in the rigging. The Good Deliverance lifeboat of the National Lifebo.it Institution was launched without loss of time, and proceeded to the rescue through a very heavy sea. She succeeded in getting on the weather quarter of the smack, and let go her anchor, with the intention of dropping down near enough to take the man off. The vessel bad then drifted on the rooks to the east of this port. A heavy sea, however, broke into the lifeboat, and compelled her to slip anchor and make for the beach. She then pulled through the breakers and made a second attempt, but the vessel bad by this time drifted into very shallow water, and the man left on her was bravely res cued by Thomas David from the shore. He was much otheusted, and did not oome round for about two hours. It appeared that the smack, with the master (who was also the owner), and one hand on board, had drifted from the Mumbles, and the master being washed overboard in the Channel, the vessel was quite unmanageable by one man, went on the rocks, and thus became a total wreck. Tho now number of the Rcrue des Deux lirondes eontaincs an article by the Prince de Joinville, ebowing the causes which led to the easy victory of Prussia over Austria, and also setting forth some important considera tions on the new French Army Bill. The latter has a double defect. "It is too much like a cry of alarm, and with its two categories of soldiers is more threatening than efficient. Moreover, it ham another drawback, that of exceeding the limit— reached by the law of 1832—0 f the burdens to which the population of a country should be called upon to submit in time of peace. To require more, to crush beyond measure our race, which, alas, already exhibits symptoms of exhaustion, is really trying to kill the goose with the golden eggs. Such a course would justify the disheartening theory according to which peoples, instead . of raising from their own substance armies for their defence, are mere machines for the manu facture of thousands of soldiers—the pawns which are played with on the huge chessboard of human folly. We say it earnestly, that system of recruiting to death cannot last. Time—and no long time either—will soon dispose of it. Neither the population nor the wealth of the nation can afford to keep it up." - - SPECIAL SERVICES AT ST. PAUL'S.—March 1, Rev. William Cadman, M.A., rector of Trinity Church, St. Marylebone ; 11th, Rev. Joseph Bardsley, M.A., super. intendent and general secretary of the London Diocesan Home Mission ; 15th, Rev.

STRIKE AT PRESTON.—The strike of the weavers at the millet Mr. R. Goodair in Preston still continues. The other day a deputation from the weavers waited upon Mr. Goodair, for the imrpose of seeing if some amicable ar rangement could be made ; but the terms originally pro tested against, and which led to the strike, were persisted in, and no settlement was consequently effected. The members of the Preston Power Loom Weavers' Association subsequently held a meeting for the purpose of consider ing what support could be given to those o tires on strike who are not in the union. After some discosdon it was resolved to support the operatives named as far as possible. MEDICINES FOR THE USE OP THE Pooh. —ln April, Ho t • letter was addremed by the Poor-law Board to every union and perish in England and Wales, suggest ing the advisability of providing n store of cod liver oil at the workhouse, or some other convenient place, for distri bution amongst the sick poor on the prescription of the medical officers through the relieving officer', and that quinine and other expensive medicines should be supplied either by an order of the medical officer on a chemist, or by the medical officers themselves. According to • return moved by Sir John Simeon, it appears that in 401 unions th e gue easna have acted wholly or partially on the re commendation of the Poor-law Board and in 225 they have not acted upon it. WAGES AND NO WAGES.—The following letter from Messrs. Pontifex and Wood, of Farringdon Works, Shoe-lane, appeared in this morning's nines:—" It may interest the contributors to the fund for the relief of the distress in the East of London to learn that 30 mr=nters employed temporarily by as at our works at Millwall upon the agreed wages of Is. 6d. per day, to which we offered to add an additional Is. on Saturdays as an in ducement to them not to require • half holiday on timit day, but to work till 4 o'clock in common with oar molar hands, have this day struck work. They gave us no pre. vious notice of their intention, but simply intimated UP they will not resume work unless they are paid EsL pee hour, and have the Saturday half holiday. Some of theme men were unable to come to work until we bad admired them money to enable them to get their tools set of pawn." MYSTERIOUS END OP TWO LOVERS. —Taa l Manchester coroner held an inquest on Saturday, cm the bodies of • youngman and young woman, who bad been found the previous day in the Rochdale canal, near David-street. They were identified a those of Thomas Royal, book-keeper, of Ornicadutreet, and Elisabeth Gouldyard, single woman. The two had "kept eo" for some time, andon Saturday afternoon lila ht. iime in Portland-street together, apparently on very friena terms. Nothing was seen or heard of ebb= npis the bodies were found in the canal. Is the ems% pans were found a watch and about 31.
