The bill professed to be drawn the MillrOalgail Beak of Sydney, upon Mesa& Orant but there was ao such bank in Motown as the Moveable Bank of fly. Genre Wilkie, oesamision weak 7, Jamere Marl borough-road, Chelsea, dope* that in the month of September this year he bad communications with a gentleman named Templeton, and in masequence of these communications he subsequently saw Striemer, one of the primers, at the European publie-honse the Mansion-house. *rimer showed him till produeed (that referred to by the City Solicitor). Witness told him a friend of his wanted an accommodation bill, sad if liewould trust him he would show it to his friend. Striemer allowed his to have the bill, and he showed it to Mr. Templeton. He again saw Striemer in ftherborne-lane, and told him his friend was eatisfied with the bill, and that he should get another friend to put his endorsement upon it. They then agreed as to the pries, which was something under 24, but he did not remember the exact amount. He did not know Striesner's handwriting. The bill bore the endorsement, "Byron, Beal, and C 0.," and witness got another en dorsement "Lawrence, Dogoroff, and C 0.," put on it. There was such a firm. He had known the prisoners for 18 months. He had had other transactions with Mr. Templeton, and he did not know as yet that he had charged him anything for the bill. Ile had had a cheque for 21. from him. In croes-examination by Striemer, witness said be had been at his (Striemer's) office, and that be thought Striemer told him the bill did notbelengto him, and that be had to give pert of the money to Gordon. Striamer—lf people are to be prosecuted for procuring bills of exchange - this gentleman ought to be prosecuted as well as us. He procured it front me, and I procured it from sonse one else. John Templeton, commission agent, 13. Beradord-ter roe, Notting-hill, said be got the bill produced from the last witness on the 6th or 7th of September. He believed it to be genuine, and deposited it at the United Service Bank, which was now in liquidation. He drew against it upwards of 1001. He bad known a firm named Lawrence and Dogoroff, and he told Wilkie so, and said ho he lloed the bill was perfectly genuine. He came to no definite arrangement what he was to pay Wilkie. He did not tell him to procure the bill. Wilkie brought it to him to discount. He could not have given him • cheque to pay for it, as he had not an account at the time. He bad been in Sydney. and be believed there was a Mercantile Bank there, but he was not certain. Croes-examined by Striceier—l gave Mr. Wilkie a cheque for 31. after the bill was deposited at the Motel Service Bank. Re-examined—Other hills have been brought to me to discount by Wilkie, but not of this character. ThommeWaram, manager of the Charing-cross Branch of the Consolidated Bank, deposed to discounting the bill for the United Service Bank. William Goodrich, clerk to Messrs. Newton and Sons, notaries, said ho had been in hid present situation six years, and during part of that time Striemer had been employed in the same office es a notary's clerk and trans lator. The body of the bill produced was in bis(Striemer's) handwriting, and the acceptance also resembled his hand writing, but it was disguised. Cross-examined by Striemer—Yon left in July, 1863 ; seven or eight months after I came. Adolph Goldstandt, who has been already examined, was recalled, and said he had known the prisoners for a long time, and had opportunities of becoming acquainted with their handwriting. The body of the bill for 1301. was in Striernees, and the endorsement, "Byron, Beal, and C 0.," in kunake's handwriting. Cross-examined by Kunake—l have seen you writing several time*. You have written in my house hoth iu German and English. Wu have had bill tray action,. Re-examined—A great many similar bills have passel through my hands. Kunako is a very accomplished penman. Detective-sergeant Mors said he found at Striemer's office a large quantity of forms similar to that on which the bill was written, as also stamps which would make impressions similar to those en the bill. At this stage the inquiry was again adjourned. COURT OP APPEAL.—Dao. 4. (Before tie Lord Chancellor.) NOV/LL 11. MOM The arguments in this patent ease were not eancluded when the court roes. EQUITY OOURTS.—D2c. 4. (Bdore the Mader of the Rolla) VA! ON V. ll= WORM lUTW =MAT 0111 PANT. In 1860 a bill was filed by • shareholder in the Isle West Hartlepool Harbour and Railway Company on be half of himself and the other ahareboldets in such com pany other than the defendant' against the company and its then directors. After the suit bad been prosecuted to some extent, the plaintiff in this snit became a director of the Hartlepool Company, and subesluently terms of arrangement of the first-mentioned suit were come to. The compromise was alleged to have been brought about barier ea lady, who died in March, 1865 ; and under the arrangement it was contended that the Hartlepool Company was to contribute • considerable sum of money towards the costs of the suit. In 1865, the Hartl 1 Company was dissolved, end its property and unde vested in the defendants to this suit subject to all liabi lities affecting the Hartlepool Company. This bill wan now filed for the specific performance of the alleged agreement by the railway company as part of the liability of the Hartlepool Company. Sir Roundel] Palmer. Mr. Southgate, and Mr. C. Hall were for the plaintiff; Mr. Jewel, Q.C., and Mr. Hawkins for the defendants. His lordship dismissed the bill with coats, without call ing on the defendants' counsel. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir IL Melia.) TN METRE R. THOMAS'S TLOAI7XO DOCK coweeur (SMITE* Mr. Jackson supported • petition to continue, under the supervision of the court, the voluntary winding-up for which the company had passed noontime. Mr. °roomer Woods represents 1 the company. The Vico-Chancellor made the order. METROPOLITAN BOARD or WORKS.—The usual weekly meeting of the Metropolitan Board of Works was held at the offices, Spring-gardens; Sir John Thweites in the chair. The financial statement was presented, awl showed the total balance in hand to be 231,238/. es. 31. Payments. to 18,4601. be. ltd. were ordered to be nude. Mr. Shaw, the member for Marylebone, said he bad be •Ii directed by his vestry to put a question to the board as to the truth of a statement which Lad appeared is a public journal, in which it was alleged that the board spent the ratepayers' money in the most reckless manner. Toe article was as follows:—i• Bank Solicitors and their Heavy Fees on Loans.—When the Metropolitan Board borrows, say 800,000!., from the Bank of England, the Bank solicitors at once deduct 40,000/. for their trouble, and the Metropolitan Board never receive the 800,00.)!. fur which they pay interest, but 40,10 J/. less that amount. So that they have to pay interest on and pay back 40,000!. which they have never received. It is difficult to see how it should take the solicitors more tune and trouble to draw up deeds for a loan of 800,0001. than for a loan of 800/. In the latter they would receive 401. 'That for the mere trouble of adding in 3 urns to the amount their charge should swell to 40,0001. is out of all reason." The Chairman could say distinctly that in negotiating for loans not one farthing was paid as premium for them. There were so many &bond things said about the board that he felt almost surprised the parish of Marylebone have thought it worth while to ask such a question. The subject then dropped. The Chief Engineer proseutsal his usual monthly report on the progress of the embankment and main di adiage works, which was to the effect that the works were progressing satisfactorily. The board then ad journed. THE FATAL ELECTION RIOTS IN NEWPORT.-011 Thursday, Mr. W. H. Brewer, coroner, and a respectable jury re-opened the inquiry at the queen'', Hotel, Newport, Monmouthshire, touching the death of Mrs. Mary Grant, wife of Mr. John Giant, tailor, Bolton-terrace, who was killed by a bay °net wound from one of the military on the night of the election riots. The Mayor (Mr. James Murphy) was in attendance, and, having been sworn, de posed to the acts of violence perpetrated on the night of the 17th ult., and to the mob driving the police into the Town-hall. A consultation ut magistrate+ took place, and as the violence of the mob gradually increased, it was thought desirable to send for Vie military. The Blot Act was read, and for upwards of an hour the mob were advised to go peaceably to their homes. Instead of doing so they became more violent, and Colonel Bell gave the order to clear the streets. Charles Grant, son of the deceased, deposed to !icing in the street at the time the charge was being made, and he received five bayonet wounds close to his father's door. He and sever al other witnesses described the charge made by the military, not as "a double quick," but the soldiers ran pell-mell as fast as they could, not in hue or column, but in skirmishing order. Dr. Davis., who made the post-mortem examination, said Mrs. Grant had been pierced to the heart by the bayonet, and that Ler dealth resulted therefrom. Daniel Evans, a black smith, said he saw Mrs. Grant running before the mili tary ; a hen clues to her door she fell, and while down one of the soldiers thrust his bayonet into her. Mr. Phil potts, who appeared for the ()rant family, asked for an adjournment, to give the military an opportunity of ex- Flaming the serious charge brought against them.

TES 0111ZAiLUOTIIII SLILWAY OOMPAIIt This was an action for a malicious prosecution. 'lb. defendants pleaded not Rwlti Mr. Muddleston, Q.C. and Mr. Barnard appeared for the plainti ff ; Mr. Giffaril, QC., Mr. Henry ws, QA'., and Mr. Straight, for the defendants. The plaintiff, William Stebbings, was in the habit of attending races, and executing commissions connected with them. On the 10th of March last he went to Chains fold races, taking a first-class return ticket by the de fendants' railway. On returning he got into a first-class cairiage, together with four or five other parsons, most of whom he knew. The ticketa were collected at Stratford, and the plaintiff delivered up the ball of kit ticket. Three of de party had second-clam tickets, and the collector demanded from them Is. 3d. each, being the difference between the fares of the two classes. They refused to pay the money, and some altercation ensued, in the course of which the collector denied that the plaintiff had given him a first-clean ticket, but he afterwards admitted ho had made a mistake. At the Shoreditch station another scone occurred. The plaintiff said he was seized by one of the officers of the company,who throw him down and dragged.him along the platform. His coat was torn, and in the scuffle he boat a valuable diamond ring. Baying applied through his solicitor for redress, the company brought him before the magistrates at Ilford for obstructing two offioers of the company, a ticket collector and a policeman, in the dis charge of their duty at Stratford. The case was dis missed, but subsequently they summoned him to Worship street Police-court for a similar offence. The magistrate, on being informed that the plaintiff bad brought an action for assault against the company, adjourned the lowing until that suit bad been determined. The trial of the action forasrault resulted in a verdict for the plaintiff, with 601. damages. The present action was brought to recover damage. for the alleged malicious prosecution at Moo! and Wonlip.street. Two of the plaintiffs tellow-passengers who had second class tickets admitted that after leaving Stratford they exchanged hats with a view to prevent their identifica tion, having a fear that by riding in the wrong carriage they might be liable to three months' imprisonment. The plaintiff had been put to an expense of tat. in sum moning witnesses to Ilford and Worship-street, and his solicitor's bill for defending him amounted to 7;fl. At the conclusion of the plaintiffs case, Mr. Giffard, on the part of the defendants, submitted that the plaintiff should be nonsuikd on the ground that it bad been held that a corporation could not be guilty of malice. The Lord Chief Baron—l always had a great difficulty in understanding how a corporation which consists, be side-, the directors, of some 2.000 or :1,000 shareholders, can entertain malice; but it has been held that a criens tion is liable to an action for libel which implies malice. I will, therefore, not undertake to decide the point here, but I will give you leave to move the court above. For the defence evidence was given to prove that the plaintiff did actually interfere with and assault the ticket collector and policeman. It was also stated that though the train was rather full, there was room for more pas sengers in the second-class carriages. The chief ground of complaint against the plaintiff was preventing the rolict man entering the find-clam carriage at Stratford for the purpose of proceeding with the party to London. The Lord Chief Baron, in summing up, told the jury that iu order to entitle him to a verdict the plaintiff must have satisfied them, first, that the defendants had no reasonable or ridable cause for the course they took, and secondly that de y were actuated by malice. Ile explained that malice in the legal sense of the word in a case like this did not mean the malignant feeling or hatred which one mail might entertain towards another, but any motive which was in itself indirect, improper, or unjustifi able. His lordship commented strongly on the abeenee of the reports made to the:company respecting the affair upin which they resolved to prosecute the plaintiff, and which should be the essence of their defence to this atetiiiii. It had been stated during the trial by a clerk in the of lea of the company's solicitor that every effort bail beeu made to find these documrnts. With respect to the uttempt of the policeman to enter the carriage. his tool ship exprewed his disapproval of such a course being adopted, especially as the compartments were full, and there were present not only the three persons who refused to jay the additional Is. 3c1., but the plaintiff and two other passengers who had first-class tickets. 'I he jury retired to consider their verdict, and after a brief abet nee they gave a verdict for the plaintiff— damages IW/.

Police-sergeant William Hunt. 111 V. said that at twenty minutes to one o'clock on last Friday morning he saw the deceased standing in the centre of Morgan's-lane. A young woman wearing a black fall had hold of his arm. It was dark, and he would not be able to describe her dress. Morgan's-lane led into Mill-lane. Three young women followed the deceased. He looked like the captain of a ship. He might have been an engineer. Did you beer any words 7—Not then. I walked up, and the other three girls stopped.

Mies Elizabeth like, barmaid at the George, Tooley street, said that about half-past 11 o'clock on Thursday night week the deceased entered the house. lle was about forty years of age.

They called for cooper and ale. The woman with the fall drink with the other girls. The gentleman talked to all of them. They were all strangers to witness. She bad never seen them before, and she had never seen them since. The gentleman wore a large gold chain. It had three large lockets on it. Were the girls on friendly terms with him ':—Yes; the young woman in the till put her hind into the gentle man's pocket. He did not drink. The girls all wore hats or bonnets. Dui you ever see those girls selling oranges at tho foot of London-fridge No, sir; I think they were all loose women. They all left the house toirether. I never saw them after, lie had the guld chant when he left the hou • e. Mr. William Smith, landlord of the Roebuck, Tooley stied. said that at 0 o'clock on the night in question the deer med enteird his house. He was am - impanied by three young women. They all remained in the house for an hour. Witness tried to get mto concer-aGni ; but he failed to do so, for when he trisd the deceased became reserved. John Squires, coroner's officer, said that he ha.l marched the body of the deceased. In the pneket he found the half of a return ticket, " London-bridle t.. Lee." On the inside of the bat there was the 113111 e, Bulesbrotk, maker, Lee." Witness went to Lee, where he was Vila the deceased was not known. In the pocket was a King's Col lege ticket, bearing the words "P. Conlsen, $2." Witness went to the hospital, where they said, "He gave the name P. Coulson. 10. Broadwall, Lambeth." Upon going to that address the people there said that they did not know him. The /* rice at Lee say that they do not miss any one. Mr. Charles White, surgeon. raid there was a sort of abrasion on the left shin of which seemed to show that he had grazed it against the iron of the steps. Some veers ago the deceased had lost the left fore finger. and the left thumb was cut off. His death had resulted from drowning. The Coroner said—One thing is certain, the de:eised has not given his right name at the hospital. Police-constable Clements, 5•5 M, said that L sew the deceased in company at half-past nine o'clock i the night in question. with the young woman in the fall. He knew her by sight She was a woman of the town. lie did not kuo.v that for a fact, but he believed that she was one. She and the gentleman then went into the Roebuck, its Tooley-stret•t. The young woman shortly afterwards came out, and said, '• I have been robbed. Those live orange girls that fol lowed us in here robbed me. They have taken my locket and money ; but I will not charge them with rob bery, for lam a fraid." She then walked away. Wit ness went into the Roebuck. He saw all the orange girls and the gentleman in the hones. The landlord had a AIM of gin and water before him. Witness said to "Do you allow these things in your house People to be robbery and all that. A young woman says she lost her things here." The landlord said "No ;" and witness said, "Turn them all out." Thegentlentanaud the orange girl, were all turned out. Witness said to him. " You had better go away from those girls. or else they will tub 3 w" After he hail chatted t. the girls he left them. The Coroner said that one thing was certain, the de ceased gentleman hail been treated with violence. He had been robbed by the orange girls iu WIIO3O company he war, for what hail otherwise bet.s.smo of his gold watch i• He could well understand why a gentleman going to a hospital in orderto avoid confiding acts to his medical attonlatat should give a wrong name. The deceased had critical' , committed that act. All clue to him was at present lost, but he (the coroner) believed that when the facts of the strange affair appeared in the newsparers the deceased's relatives would be cer tain to hear of them. Other witnesses, no doubt, would also tome forward. The persons who had robbed the de ceased had evidently done so on the top of Battle-bridge stain.. The pristine who did so may have thrown the gentleman into the water, where he was drowned. He should, therefore, adjourn the came for furtherevidence. Mr. Smith, the landlord of the Roebuck, said that he wish, d to state that the money and brooch which the young woman in the fall had stated she had been robbed of were found ou the floor of the house after the gentle man and the orange girls were turned out.

SACRED HARMONIC The third concert of the season, which took place last night, was rendered tributary to the memory of Rossini by the perfumes of his Shiba* Peter, preceded by the " Dead March" lean Headers der, ; these solemn preliminary strains producing an impressive effect cm the large audience, who rose and stood in reverence at the occasion which had mused their introduction. In front of the disk at which Mr. Costa presided as candacter was placed, amidst black drapery, soapy of the Ike bust of Ikesini, recently executed by Denten. The beautiful &seat, which has been frequently before given by this society, of course derived a special interest on this occasion from the recent domain of its illustrious con,) user. The long silence which Rossini preserved after the production (in 11129) of his dramatic masterpiece Coillawnee 2111 was almost unbroken until his death, with the exception of the Stoat Mater (produced in 1842, but written several years earlier), although he is known to have composed much, and to have loft a large quantity of manuscript compositions behind him. Although standing in strong centred to the severer style of the greatest church composers, Rossini's aster 'later mart always exercise a great charm by its exquisite grace of melody, its admirable vocal and orchestral writing, and the power and genius so largely disclosed throughout it. While it can scarcely excite awe or reverence, even with the most gorgeous surroundings of the catholic service for which it was composed, it should always command high admiration and delight by its mastery and beauty. These sentiments were certainly experienced by the whole of the vast audience at last night's performance, which was one of general excelknce. Madame Ruderedorff gave the solo (with chorus) " Inflammetus" with great power and energy, and to Madame Sainton-Dolby was assigned the beautiful cssetbuir " Fee portem," which !!, it scarcely necessary to fay was ;"ien "'la, much earnest feelmg ; the well-known duet, " Qui, est home," being rendered with great effect by the joint singing of these ladies. Is the exquisitely beautiful air, " Cajun animism, " Mr. Cummings was provided with music well suited to his voice and soars style, and he sang it admir ably ; the fine bees air, "Pro peocatis," being effectively declaimed by Signor Tagliafico. Mozart's Squirm, his dying bequest to the stores of musical art which he had otherwise en largely enriched during his brief but productive life, formed an appropriate and impressive close to last night's performance in honour f the memory of Rossini. The solos in the Reptiem were assigned to the same singers as those of the &ghat Mater; and in both these works (so different, yet each so great in its style), the choral and orchestral perform ances were up to the usual high standard of the Sacred Harmonic Society.
