eivirrlNG INTELLIGENCE. TUE GREAT SPRING HANDICAPS. TO TEM ZDITOR OF TUT TIMM& Sis,—That many hands have been at work over the interesting productions of the last Calendar is pal pable ; and if the framers of the Liocolnsbire (" Judge" Johns: n), Northamptonshire and St. Lis (the Messrs. Weatherby), Newmarket, Metropolitan, and City and Sub urban (Admiral Roue), and Chatter Cup (Mr. Topham) Handicaps bad unanimously agreed to differ, they could hardly have carried out their purpose more effectually than Ile' imposts before us show them to have done. The Lin lobtshire is not supposed to belong to the series of "spring bandicaps" that annually promote such heavy speculation ; Mill, having appeared simultaneously with them, and the declarations of forfeit (quite a new feature in the conditions) having also to be made by the same time, it must now be Identified with them is a certain measure, especially as its iscre•sed value might tempt several City and Suburban, or Lis candidates to "cot ia" baste:ado, waiting. The dis tance is only a quarter of a mile leas than that to be tra versed for Meat two events, and the following comparisons will show what strong inducements are held out to one or two to prefer the Lincula journey: Lincoln. St. Lir.

Wight. Tril 7 The Duke, Copeohageo, and Cranford have no choice but to patronise Lincoln, so fu as the weights an concerned, as they meet Master Richard, Skirmish, Prewi Kr, Sidarbd, Albeton, Elastic, Miss Williams, Regain*, and Delight on so much better tarns than in the City cod Suburban; and we have independently of the above, a lot that are just as well off at Lincoln as in either of the other short races, viz., Stockingsr, Kangaroo, Lucky Star, Historian, Kure George, Grapeshot, Valiant, Haphazard, Musician. Tam bourine, and Mephistopheles. Consequently, the accept ance is attain to be satisfactory • and the quality of those entered is so good, generally spea:king, that I expect to see a great rate for the first big mat of the sane, at the same time that it strikes me the best of the brothers Day will be well worth plumping for. seeing bow favourably Historian and Perfumer are weighted. The latter must be looked upon with a considerable degree of suspicion, having been backed more than once last year as though he were a good horse, but always finishing very " fishy " and ft will not be absolutely necessary to reserve him for the St. Lit as the Lincoln winner will only be penalised 51b, so that if he is a fair horse he should win the two. While on the subject of the shorter nose, I msy observe that, in addition to King Charming, Peaftuner, and Praiser, there are a baker's dozen over which the handicappers for the saeend.s.-quarter eastern differ in regard to what they are capable cf ; for example— Bt. Liz. City. et lb lb Grinder, 4 yrs 7lO .... 0 Pintos, 9 yrs 6 7 .... 10 Spilt the llifferenos, Syn utritloo, 3 yrs 4 Hawthorn. S yrs 6 11 .... 0 OatAnd-Outer, 4 pie S Pintail, 5 yrs merry Hart, 6 yrs Brahtna. 4 yrs, 7 4 .... 11 Wild Poppy, 4 yra attack filly, 4 yrs Bigote, 4 yrs 8 Alberta, 3 yrs Here we have eight so mash "better is' far the Epsom eyelet that, if one of them should win the St. Li; the 51b 'natty will not stood much in the way of a second victory. But it is probable that, with so much money to be woe ever the City and Suburban, a " double event" will not be attempted by any cued those enumerated in the above lists—from a glance at which it may be fairly infarred that William Gaiter must be very near hitting the bull's-eye at Epsom, with Merry Hart, Brahma, Proviso; sad Sidewind , all so ' ia." At the same time, W. Day is made to look equally dangerous with his Out-sod-Outer and others ; aid it will be a lucky man that can find one to beat the two stables. If ie. handicap for the City and Suburban is one of the lettering kind, that for the Chador Cup is more so, and there are "good things" in galore to be discovered if what pertain horses have received io other events is taken as a rigoiecatioo. There are so many, in fact, that they would be strong enough in themselves to make up a good field , the following being a list of them, with a oomparison of the weights they have been apportioned for the three other long races—the Northamptonshire Stakes, Newmarket Handi cap, and Metropolitan : Chester North- New- Metro- Cap. ampton. mark.t. pohtan. at lb at lb st lb at lb John Davis, 5 yrs Baragsb. 6 yrs S 4 811 Ackwartl4 1 yrs 8! 8 12 9 1 9 2 Iltbals. 4 yrs Pearl Direr, I yrs 1182 2 4 yrs .. ..

Little Goy, the Lima filly, and Lansdowne ply the most noteworthy' ; and these, with Ma il Train, Billet-doux, Perfumer, Valiant, Charley, Pepper's Ghost, Morris Dancer, Lady Florence, the Dorslice colt, Nutri tion, Life Guardsman, Mephistopheles, Miss Williams, Btaghound, Rose Cheri , and Wolfdog , will appear "may in" for the Rkioodee prize when their imposts are compared with those they have in other engagements, so that out of the whole lot there may only be two or three acceptances. However, there are few others that look overburthened, and under any circumstances there are plenty, as before observed, to sustain a great race in the list of horses above that are shown to be " well in." John Day's party should accept with all theirs, if only in return for the kind treatment Ackworth, Red Cap, Lord Letland, the Grinder, Black Prince, and Glendale have received ; for it strikes me that nothing has been more leniently dealt with in the race than the three first-named, who have all shown a capability to stay the course, and were not run quits off their legs last season. The number'of five-year 014149), six-year old (21), and aged (10) horses engaged in the ail handicap. under notice is a sign that plenty are still left to the turf I after four years old ; and that we have some goad ones ready for 1866 is apparent when as aged ptlernas is at the top of the tree for the City sad Sehurbam, followed by two five-year-olda ; the horse. of the latter age like.ise supply the six carrying the heaviest weights in the Chester Cup, with the four that lead off in WI the Northamptonshire and Ifetropolitan, and the Isidore in the Newmarket sad St. Liz. Altogether, there ere 283 horses engaged in the six events, 96 being three-year-ads, end 107 four-year-olds ; and although the numbers were stronger last year, and to the tune of some two score, we have plenty to sustain the prestige of each contest, if owners really mean business. Row many of them are satisfied we shall discover this week, when the ac eepteness are made public, after which I shall be enabled to form • better opinion of what ere likely to become " good things" than now.—l am. &a, METEOR. Tits OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGI BOAT BACH.- At a captains' meeting of the members of the Oxford Uni versity Boat Club, held on Saturday of ternooo, it was unanimously resolved to reject the proposal of Cambridge to limit ths term of residence of men eligible to row in this Oxford and Cambridge annual eight-car race. Unless. therefore, Cambridge consent to row on the same terms as beretcfora there will be no race this year, and the lovers of aquatics will be deprived of rise of their sreatest treats. The decision of the Oxford Boat Club has been doubtless influenced by the strong protest of upwards of 50 old Oxford University oars against the adoption of the Cambridge pro- posal. It appears Oxford men have a little advantage over Cambridge in point of length of residence, but this is more than counterbalanced by the advantage Cambridge possesses in the Number of men from whom to select • MeV. _ THE LOSS OP THE SHIP RoscoL—A telegram from Greenock was reeeivwf is Liverpool on &lords, last, te the effect that the ship Bowe, which went ashore a few wear sines near Islay, Mall remained fast on the rocks. ♦mistaeoe having bees sent round from Greenock to Islay, the cargo of cotton was being got ashore and carted to Bow swam The Rome was owned in Liverpool, and when she went ashore was bound to that port from New Orleans.

A deputation of the council of the Royal Agricul tund Society of Ireland waited on the Lord-Lieutenant, at the Castle, at Dublin, on Saturday, pursuant to a resolu tion passed at the last meeting of the council, for the pur pose of urging the necessity of the adoption of stringent measures by the government to prevent the spread of the cattle plague in that country. Colonel lt,xox Goer., is introducing the deputation, said that ie consequeuoe of the shortness of the inti mation which the council had received of the intention of has excellency to receive the deputation, several of the country members of the Domicil, who would other wise be present, were absent. The deputation, how ever, represented the unanimous opinion of a very large meeting. The immunity of Ireland from the cattle plague up to the present was owing to the instantaneous exertions of the Irish government in prohibiting the impor tation of cattle. They hoped that the government would strengthen their hands by giving them such powers as would be the means of keeping the csttle plague absolutely out of the country. Re begged to hand his excellency the following resolutions, adopted on the subject at a meeting of the council of the Royal Agricultural Society :—" Re solved—That the council of the Royal Agricultural Society of Ireland feel it to be their imperative duty to aid and strengthen the government in the adoption of such stringent measures as may prevent the passibility of the fatal sad ruinous cattle plague reaching this country, and as one mea sure that appears absolutely required to take effect memo's possible, theypropose that governmentiespeoton be appointed at each of the ports of Great Britain and Ireland which export and import cattle, who will be authorised either to prevent owners being allowed to go over from Ireland with cattle, and not to permit them to enter the port of import, and to prevent any person who had been in charge of cattle is Great Britain entering an Irish port until disinfected, and a certificate handed to him by such inspector. In ewe the government feel that they cannot effectively carry out the resolution of Colonel Knox Gore, it u then resolved that the commit consider that the moat stringent measures are requisite to prevsst the introduction from England of the cattle plague into this country, and they beg earnestly to impress upon the government the necessity for forbidding entirely the export of live cattle from Ireland, and the ins portaoce of encouraging in every way the exportation of dead meat. That the council conceiving the time may 'Ar rive when it will be considered advisable to interfere with the exportation of live cattle to England, beg to direct the attention of graziers, feeders, maleamasters, aad butchers, to the importance of at once making the preparations se coesary for supplying the English market with deed meat." Hie EXCELLENCY said he had read these resolutions, which had been forwarded to him. The matter bad been very frequently brought under his notice, and he bad given it a good deal of oonsideratioo, but very great difficulty seemed to arise as to the speci fi c measures to be adopte d. It was brought under bin notice a short time since by • de putation, which, however, could not suggestany definite arrangement for carr7ing out the priociples they had in view. That deputation thought that inspectors of police could carry out the arrangements which they suggested. At present there was no legal power to carry into effect the ar rangement proposed by the resolution ; bat assuming that there was, he wished to know how they could be carried into effect. Colonel Goa' said there were many means of carrying it out. Persons landing from a steamer, for instance, should be required to produce a certificate that they had not been near infected cattle in England. kfis EXCLUIRICT—If partis had not the required certi ficate there would be, of course, a penalty. Who then would determine the party liable to that penalty? Colonel Gimte—These are details. Hia Exuma:KY—The difficulty is about these details. I have received several deputations on the subj ect ; I have asked them how these measures could be carri ed into effect, and it did not appear that they could mate any satisfactory suggestion. . . . . . . Colonel Gott said strong measures should be adopted ; and he referred to the manner in which the cattle plague was kept out of Prussia. He thought that in the end sprdiar eters; should be taken in this country. His EXCZLLENCT wished to know whether they thought the prohibi , ion of the export of live cattle, or the sug gestion in reference to drovers, would be more practicable Colonel Gott said the second resoloton was passed merely as a supplementary one, in the event of the first one not being acceded to. Mr. Merelfstwxt said the second resolution was adopted in case the government would not be disposed to adopt the more stringent measures. They doubted that measures would be taken in reference to drovers. There was a mis take as to the term "drover," which bad been applied to persons merely going over with cattle ; but the danger was to be apprehended from the class of small cattle dealer, who went over with their own cattle and sold them in Ifegland to save the commission. After some further conversation, His Mould's= said he took a great interest in the matter, but the Irish government had at present no legal way of dealing with the question ; and until legal powers were given by parliament they oould not attempt any thing. He bad already suggested what could be done un der the existing state of the law. Whatever would be done should be done on the express views of the Irish members of parliament, who, no doubt, would take the matter up very strongly. Eeery suggestion on the subject should receive serious consideration, and when they had discovered the right way of dealing with it, instant action was demanded. He would forward the resolutions to Sir Geore Grey, and ascertain from him if any practical re gulations could be made. THE QI7ZEN AND THE CATTLE PLAGOL—OH Saturday afternoon Major-General the Hon. A. N. Boodpre aided at an adjourned meeting of agriculturists and landowners from Berke, Middleeer, Bucks, and Surrey, held at the Town-hall, Windsor, for the purpose of promoting the formation of the Windsor Mu tual Association for the Insurance of Cattle. General Hood read the report of the committee, and in the course of his remarks stated that a circular had been issued to the landowners and others inviting them to subscribe to the guarantee fund to collect statistics of the number of horned cattle in the proposed district, and informing them that the rate of insurance would be 10 per cent., of which sum 2g per cent the insurer would be called upon to pay at once, and that no animal should be valued at more t ha n 251. They had received returns from less than half of the parishes included in the district, and in those there were about 5,000 horned cattle. He regretted that they bad Dot got all the returns, but the) had found that many of the smaller farmers were very desirous of insuring their stock. He was happy to say that the guarantee fund now amounted to 2,5001., and there was every reason to believe that it would become still larger, and then the association would be founded upon a very substantial basis. They had obtained the opinion of counsel as to whether the associa tion ought to be formed in accordance with the provisions of the Limited Liability Act of 1662, and the answer was that it was not Deaconry, as the association was to be formed for indemnity and not for pin. Mr. R. B. Harvey. M.P., proposed, and Mr. Lambert, High Sheriff of Buis, seconded the adoption of the re port, the latter gentleman remarking that of all plus the formation of the association was the beet, and much better than all the restrictive measures that had been passed by the quarter sessions of the country. The adoption of the report was cirried unanimously. The chairman stated that her Majesty would give a gunnies to the sum of 5001., provided the rules, when submitted to the Queen, were ap- I proved of by her, and if it was shown that it was the wish ' of the inhabitants of the neighbourhood that the associa tion should be established. The rules of the association were adopted, and the proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. The Court Journal states that the greatest precaution has been observed by Mr. Tait, at the Queee's Royal Dairy Farm, in the Home-park at I Windsor, and the Prince Consort's Model Farm, adjoining I the Great Park, known as Shaw Farm, against the intro !duction of the cattle plague, which up to this time has ben successful, no symptom of this dire complaint hung presented itself on the royal farms, notwithstanding the serious loss of cattle among the farmers and gentry of the neighbourhood of Windsor. On Friday all the cattle on the two royal farms, up_wards of 200, were vaccinated. THE LIVERPOOL MAOISTEATEN AND THE LIVER : POOL AND IZNIK CATTLE naDo.—The resolutions of the county magistrates for South Lancashire prohibiting the driving of cattle for three-quarters of a mile beyond the borough, have created a perfect consternation amongst the butchers and cattle salesmen of Liverpool, while it is felt to be friught with the meet serious consequences with re gard to the food of the working classes. During the week an influential meeting has been held, und-r the presidency of the Mayor, at which the inconvenience and consequences involved by the order were explained. It was stated at this meeting that as • great portion of the Liverpool trade is in cattle imported from Ireland (where the disease has never yet appured), the magisterial order was unduly hank and uncalled for. A deputation appointed by the meeting was sent uplo London in:order to represent these facts to Sir G. Grey ; and his lordship, after hearing their statements, sent a letter to the comity magistrates' clerk at Liverpool, recommending that a meeting should be held, with a view to modify the regulations. A meeting, however, could not be summoned for Saturday, and the result is that it will be necessary to hold the market to-day (Monday) in a field ' within the borough boundary. It is, however, expected that the suggestion of Sir George Grey will be taken into consideration at a meeting to be held to-day. The following is a copy of the latter :—" Whitehall, Jan. 1, 1866.—5ir,-- I am directed by Secretary Sir George Grey to transmit to . you herewith a eopy of • letter which he has received from Mr. J. Townsend, on behalf of the Liverpool Cattle Market Company, teprwatins the great public inconvenience which will be occasioned if the Old Sean Market is prohibited oe Monday next, Mr. . Townsend has been informed that the matter was ass within the discretion of the justices, and with which the I Secretary of State has no power to interfere ; but consider. • ing that it affects the supply of meat to a very large popu lation, Sir George Grey feels it his duty to bring the repro ! sentation made to him under the oonsideration of the jum tins, and lam therefore to re9uest that you will lay it before the Court of Quarter Sessions or any committee at the justices which may have been appointed for cattle plague purposes, and I em to suggest that if they think fit they shiadd communicate on the subject with the Mayor of Liverpool, who also alluded to it in a letter recently addressed by him to Sir George Orey . —l am, sir, your obedient servant, T.

The amount he received for his watch was 44, of which he was almost imme diately deprived on his return by the prisoners, under the plea that he bad backed Snow, who was betting with the others. Turner then said he would go to his office to get more money, and asked the prosecutor to go with him. After going some distmce he (Turner) left, and on the prosecutor returning to the public-house the others wens gone ; he afterwards met them near the same place and gave them into custody. On • former heariog Sir F. G. Moon cautioned the prosecutor as to entertaining any offer to compromise the case ; but on the last hearing the prosecutor did not appear, but a solicitor said be was about to proceed to Scotland, and that he wished to with draw from the prosecution, on hearing which Sir F. G. Moon directed a summons to be issued to compel his attendance. The prosecutor now appeared in obedience to the sum mons, and said—l never betted with the prisoners ; neither did I win a shilling or any other money from them. Since the last examination I have accepted back the money which 1 had lost. It is because I have taken back my money that Ido not now wish to prosecute. There was a bet made all rouod at startirg, and I touched hands with them, but I did not understand them. Robert Gold, 395 A, said—l bad the prisoner Turner in custody in March, 1862, for being found in a dwelling house without lawful excuse, and he received three months' imprisonment, and being a ticket-of-leave men he was sent back to finish his time. I have known both him and Snow as skittle and card sharps for many years, and have had Soow for stealing a watch. Turner—The prosecutor is as big a rogue as we are, and be took ss. over his money to compromise. Sir F. G. Moon committed them both for trial, and or dered the prosecutor to find one surety in Ha to appear sad prosecute at the Old Bailey. BOW-STREET. Elizabeth Fitzgerald, a well-dressed and rather good looking woman of about 30 years of age, was charged with wilfully damaging paintings and other articles to the value of 1751. and upward., the property of Mr. Aston, of 42, Russel-square. Mr. Payne, the barrister, who appeared for the prose cution, stated that Mr. 'Woo, a gentleman moving in the first circles of society, had some years ago the misfortune to become acquainted with the prisoner, and like many other young men be was foolish enough to get into • habit of visiting her ; but he never took apartments for her, or sated in any way that could give her a claim upon him. Hs had several times lately been annoyed by the prisoner making repeated applications for money, and lately, when going out of town, he bad some apprehension of her probable conduct, and left word that it she should give any annoyance or do any damns in his sheen as she should be gi ven intocustody. Whether she took advantage of the circumstance of his absence, or whether she was ignorant of that fact, was not known ; but a person who turned out to be her landlord called at Mr. Aston's house with a note from her, applying for mosey. That letter coat sioed some isfamous imputations, but nothing amounting to a positive threat. The landlord was told that there was no answer. After wards the prisoner drove up to the door in a cab. The cab man knocked at the door, and, when it was opened, waxed whether there was any answer to Mrs. Pitnerald's note. He was told there was not, and then observed, " We shall make repeated applications till we do get an answer," thus identifying himself with the parties. A few minutes afterwards another knock was heard at the door. and upon its being opened the prisoner rushed in, and, with a short hooked stick like • gentle man's busting whip, smashed the ball limp to fragments. She then rushed into the dining-room, whither she was followed by Mr. Aston's sister. She seized that young lady by the wrist, and demanded, " Are you his intended Are you his sister, or who are you r Miss Aston made no reply. She then with the handle o' the whip smashed Mr. Aston's portrait, exclaiming as she did so, " I only wish it was himself instead of his picture." In a similar manner she destroyed the portrait of his mother, and three other family pictures, each of which was valued at 35 guineas. She also destroyed a chandelier and clock. ease. Witnesses were called is support of this statement. The prisoner paid she bad been living with the prosecutor as his wife for eight years. They had been for part of the time unhappy through jealousy, and she bad suffered in health from a cause which could not be mentioned here. Lately, contemplating marriage, be bad expressed a wish to separate, and offered her 2001. if she would consent, and abstain from annoying him. She was entitled to this at least, as she had spent 1351. of her own money in furnishing a home. She had been in great distress through his not keeping his promise, and only went to the house to try to get an answer to her note. She had then no intention of doing any damage ; but she found the stick in the bottom of the cab, sod being exasperated at receiving no reply she lost her temper. She was committed for trial. On leaving the dock the prisoner exclaimed, May the curse of God light on all the family of the datons." WORSHIP-STRKET Mr. Joseph Jones, a tradaman, applied for the anis trate's signature to a declaration for the following object Be stated that a young man named David Jones and his wife had shipped on board the London to proceed to Aus tralia. Their names ware not in the lists either of the saved or the drowned, but applicant had seen two of the sailors who sur►ived the wreak of the ship, and had shown them a photograph of David Jones, which they had recog nised as the hkeness of a man who was on board the Lon don when she went down. The object of the applicant was to prove David Jones's death, that he might draw some money due from a benefit society, in order to forward it to Jones's mother in Australia. The two sailors, Richard Lewis and Benjamin Shields, survivors of the crew of the London, now presented themselves, and made a formal de claration to the effect that David Jones was on board the ship, and one of them had shaken hands with him five minutes before leaving. Mr. Ellison affixed his signature to the declaration, and presented the seamen with half a sovereign each. VIZ MURDER IN 811ROPSHIAL-ARREST OP TH UNCLE. CLEOBURY MORTIMER, JAIL 27. Mr. John Meredith, the uncle of the deceased young man, Edward Edwards, ii now in the lock-up In this town, charged on suspicion with being the murderer of his nephew. There was • desire on the part of the Shropshire police to arrest Mr. Meredith • week ago, but the magis tracy, through the chief unstable having sent to Sir Richard Mayne for • &dentine, determined to post pone this step till such an officer had been upon the spot. The evidence upon which the arrest his taken place, and upon which the accused will be examined, is each as to make it far otherwise than certain that it can be shown that Mr. Meredith is the murderer. It was shown at the isqueet that Mr. Meredith bad made complaints of the deceased's neglect of his duty at the mill even on the Friday before the Sunday on which the murder was perpetrated, and that that complaint led to • dispute between them on that afternoon. And Mr. Meredith. in his evidence at the first acting of the moues jury, de posed that the day-book which the deceased kept at the mill was not made up as Bought to have been to the close of the week preceding the murder, and that be put in one or more omitted entries himself on the day after the murder. Idr. hieredithshows thathe was at the mill on the morning of the murder ; and blood, it was also shown at the inquest, was found upon his trousers and upon an overcoat belong ing to him. Whilst the officer was examining the over coat, the evidence is that Mr. Meredith said, You surely can't detect blood after being washed." This *oat, it was added, appeared to have been sponged. At one time it was stated that Mr. Meredith wore this °oat when he went to the mill in the morning ; but this is not now stated. The blood upon the trousers Is conspicuous, and the opinion of the surgeon given at the last sitting of the jury was that it was not likely that blood could have fallen from the body as it was being taken upstairs, upon which occasion Mr. Meredith as sisted by holding one corner of the sheet upon which the deceased was being moved. The garments are still in the possession of Dr. Taylor, the eminent chemist of London. Dr. Taylor has not yet completed his examination of the clothes in respect to the quantity of the blood upon them, but the examination has proceeded sufficiently far to enable him to my that there is human blood upon the sleeve of the overcoat and upon the trowels. Against the supposition that Mr. Meredith is guilty of the fearful crime upon which he has been arrested is the fact, which is well knows in the district in which he lives, that he is of a kind, hospitable, and charitable disposition • ever ready in puree and person to prove a good Samaritan'to his needy neighbours. Re was, it is said, extremely fond ad the deceased, and had cherished him from the ago of 6, since which time be bad been to him as his ; and we are assured that, in the spirit of that affection, Mr. Mere dith, who is a man of considerable property, bas in his will left to his nephew the mill in which he was so cruelly mur dered. LAMBETH. Mr. Day, the matter of Lambeth Workhouse, accom panied by Messrs. Cope and Lowing, the relievinr•otfoers of the pariah of Lambeth, attended before Mr. Elliott, to complain of a statement copied into the Times of that moroisg, from the Express, sod to solicit his worship's advice as to how they were to prooeed. Mr. Day said that in the position in which the relieving officers and himself were placed they were anxious to do everything in their power to give satisfaction to the guar. diens and the public ; and he felt perfectly satisfied that the relieving officers who accompanied bun had done all that could be done under the circumstances. Mr. Cope said that, as directed, he bad sent the appli cants for lodginr, after the casual ward was full, to certified and licensed lodginghowes in the neighbourhood, but they learnt on that morning that the police authorities had with drawn their licenses from these houses, and under thecir cumstances his brother relieving-officer would be much obliged if his worship would suggest to them how they wets to act. Mr. Elliott replied that the Poor-law authorities were the competent persons to offer such suggest ons. and they were the proper persons to apply to. Mr. Cops complained that the discomfort of the lodging. houses to which the casuals lied been sent was much (nag pasted in the paragraph to which they had called attention. The rooms were quite clean. Mr. Elliott said the matter of licenses to these places was one connected with the police, and that the distribution of the casual paupers was under the control of the Poor-law Board, and he could not interfere is the matter. Atexander Gillespie, William Burrows, Robert Bowman Dueck, and George Davis, four out of seven men who had been summoned by Mr. Grove, the secretary to the Crystal Palace Company, were charged with wilfully and mali ciously breaking several squares of glass, value Is. 6d. each, in the corridor leading from the palace to the rail way station. On " boxiog-night," when there wu an immense con course of people at the Crystal Palace, great numbers of them, as they went away, amused them,elyes by smashing the glass in the corridor leading to the railway, in conse quence of which above 400 squares of glue, value 361., were destroyed. The defendant Gillespie was seen to break seven panes, and the others two panes each. Mr. Elliott said it was a monstrous and disgraceful out rage, and fined Gillespie 40s. and the value of the glass, or one month's imprisonment, and the other three 20a., or 20 days' imprisonment. Piecnom. JOKING Tit Docrotuf-CommoNe.—The officials in the Probate-office, Doctors'-oommons, heretofore the old Roclesisatical Registry, and the place where the majority of the wills for the last 800 years are deposited, have daring the last week bees in a somewhat ludicrous state of terror. One fine sight ea the proper officers pro. ceediog to lock op the offices the keys were not to be found. Every search was made, but without success. The police were communicated with, sod the custody of the office handed over to their care. Detectives in and out of the office were employed for some days, but with no result, and as a consequeoce fresh locks had to be supplied. Three or four days dterwardsos the dust beiog removed the keys were foiled as bright as ever in the dustman's cart, thus clearly showing that they bad been abstracted designedly, for what purpose it is difficult to imagine, were it not for the feet that on the morning that the keys were found • large piece of charred wood was thrown isto the kitchen of the office on the basement, in which a quantity of clothes were drying. This would naturally lead to the conclusion that there was a design on the part of some one or other to make • bonfire of the wills and titles to property of half the people in the kingdom. It may have been merely a practical joke, but if so it was of too serious a nature to be treated as such ; sad if the °feeders can only be dim vered they may rely upon it that they will not again com mit such a misehievoem sad dangerous trick.—Oheereer.

HARDWARE.—Bistrincasm, Jag. 27.—The trade of this town continues steady, and bag in some respects improved during the week ; the orders through the factors are now coming in regularly, and with the exception of some of the fancy trades manufacturers have more on their books than is usual at this early period of the year. In the metal trades there is more animatioe, the further reduction in the price of oopper has had a good effect upon that branch generally. In the foreign department orders are being given out more freely; in the course of the week a coasiderable number has been given out on account of Canada ; there is also a farther supply for America. The continental trade has slightly rallied, except as to the south of Europe generally ; from that quarter the orders are small. There is only, a mode rate amount of business being done to the eastern markets. The Australian trade is good. The state of the iron trade in this locality has not undergone the least change aims quarter-day, except that them is rather move inquiry on the part of some of the houses who are engaged in the export trade. There area few Americas orders coming in, and an inquiry is springing up on account of Canada. Priem remain firm for all the beat brands of finished iron.

COTTON GOODS.—MASCffitan, JAL 27.—The market opened with tolerable firmness this week, and on Tuesday there was a very active and general demand for export yarns, leading to a fuU average business at last week's prices. Home trade yarns were in less request, and hardly so firm. For large quantities a slight concession would be listened to. For cloth good qualifies of shirting' were in request, at full prices, owing to better advii-es from China, but prices were not remunerative. The ordinary and lower qualities of sbirtings were neglected. In other staple snakes of cloth not much doing. Since Tuesday the prices of cotton have given way, owing to advices of continued receipts of magnitude on the American seaboard, and prices have given way slightly in yarns. Buyers are decidedly 1110 f• cautious. According to some reports prices are id. per lb. lower for yarns all round. The market for them is decidedly weaker, but perhaps this is an e geration, as many spinners are well mimed, and bold to late quota tions very firmly. In cloth the market is firmer than for yarns, a considerable business having been done in good sbirtings, at the full rates of last week.

Time lora dna COURT OF QUERN'S BENCH.-JAN. 27. Sittings io Banco.—(Before the Lord Chief Justios, sod Justice* Blackburn, Mellor, and Lush.) This was the first of the last four days of term.. WAIN V. TEI MARTS OP OAIC BENIFIT socrary, ono. Mr. Quain showed cause against a rule calling upon the trustees and general committee of the Hearts of Oak Benefit Society, in Greek-street, Soho, and oomprising upwards of 10,000 members, to show cause why a manda mus should not issue, compe ll ing them to re-instate Mr. Evan Evans in the office of the secretary of the society, which was represented to be worth about 2,0001. per an num. This was an ordinary voluntary friendly society, esta blished under the 10th Geo. IV., but since repealed by the 18 and 19 Via, c. 63, which now regulates these societies. The act of parliament provides for the appointment of trustees in whom the property of the society should be vested, and that it should sue and be sued in the name of the trustees, and a'eo for the appointment of treasurer, but nothing was said about a se cretary. By the 25th section they were em powered to make rules for the appointment of trea surer and other officers. The rule with regard to the secretary made by the society was, as he read it, for his re moval but not for his appointmeat. It named the founder of the society as its secretary, and made it an office during good behaviour, and in the event of his death another secretary might be appointed by a special meeting of the members convened for that purpose. Without going into the merits of the ca.e be submitted that a mandamus was not the proper remedy. It was not an ancient freehold office known to the law, and Mr. Evans' remedy was by action against the truste es. Mr. Justice Blackburn said if a mandamus were issued and it turned out be wan dismissed by a majority of the members it would be an answer to it. Mr. Gifford, Q.C., contended that this was an office that came within the ru'e for a mandamus. The Lord Chief Justice said there was nothing to pre vent the society from dissolving to-morrow and abolishing the office. It was a voluntary society, and it was in the discretion of the society to make any alteration they pleased. Mr. Gifford said the trustee's and general committee had not complied with the rules in dismissing Mr. Evans. They had not had a majority of the members to the pro emding, as they were bound to do. He disputed their hav ing seat notices to all the member'. AU they had done was to Sall together a portion of the members, which he con tended was a packed meetiog. Mr. Quin said all the members were summoned from the list of members kept by Mr. Evan's, but 250 notices were returned, the addressee being wrong. Mr. Justice Blackburn said that if that were so it was difficult to say that the members were not fairlysummoned. Mr. Ge ff md said hie point was that the preliminaries were not properly complied with. Mr. Evans had been attacked not for mismanagement, but bemuse certain members thought he made too good a thing of his office. In 1857 commenced a course of agitation by the reform committee for the ex press perms* of turning Mr. Evans out after he had served the society for 20 yams, and had increased the members from 300 to upward. of 10,000. In 1864 the same efforts were made, and in 1865 two summonses were granted by the magistrates, one of which wee dismissed. The court, hOwever, alter hearing the further arguments, discharged the rule, on the grm.nd that a mandamus could not draw Rule discharged. The court then took the new trial paper. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.-JAN. 27. Sittings in Banooo-(Before Lord Chief Juntioo Erie, and &lotion Wilke, Keating, end Smith.) CRAMS P. THE METROPOLITAN RAILWAY COMPANY. The plaintiff in this cue had been in the habit of travel ling by the defendants' line, and of alighting at the Hiner cross Station. On the evening of the 28th of July, 1864, during daylight, he was passing up the stairs from the 'ses-Gross Station to the street, when he fell and broke his leg. The present action was to recover damages for the injury ; and the plaintiff's case was that the company were in fault in this, that the nosiogs of the stain were brass, and had become smooth by wear, and further, that there was no handrail for the plaintiff to catch hold of when he stumbled. On the other hand, it area said that the steps were of the usual kind in such places, and that 43,000 people had passed over them monthly without accident and without complaint. The jury at the trial found for the plaintiff, damages 100 guineas ; but subsequently a rule was granted to show MUM why the viiet should not be entered for the de fendants. upon the ground that there was no evidence against them • or at all events why there should not he a new trial, because the evidence did not warrant the finding. Mr. Haddleston, Q.C., and Mr. Hy. James now showed cause against the rule, and ststed that there was evidence at the trial that the nosing' of the !stairs should have been of lead, a material which would not become smooth by wear. It was also said that there was evidence that the stairs were dangerous, whilst on the other hind there was no specific evidence that they were not dangerous. This being the state of the evidence, it was submitted that there was no good reason for disturb* the verdict. Mr. Hawkins, Q. 0., and Mr. H. Lloyd, for the company, contended that it was absurd to say that there was any neg ligence is this case, and more especially as the plaintiff was thoroughly acquainted with the staircase, he having passed up it daily ever mince the line opened. Mr. Justice, seating asked whether, in consequence of there being no handrail, people could fall over' Mr. Hawkins—No.; there was a wall on each side the stairs. _ _ Justice Keating—But there was a handrail sow ; how long had it been put up 'l' Mr. Hawkins—About a twelvemonth atter the accident it was put there. The fact of putting it up was no proof that there had been oegligence io no/ havinf it. The Lord Chief Justice said he was of opinion that there was no evidence of negligence to go to the jury. His expe rience was that the stairs were of an ordinary construction, and he was of opinion that there was no law which com pelled ► railway company to have a handrail to such stairs. Mr. Justice Willes said brass was commonly used for the nosing of stairs ; and the statement of a witness that in his opinion lead would have been better than brass was no evi dence to go to the jury. Mr. Justice Keating observed that he had felt some dif ficulty in agreeieg with the rest of the court, but he did not dissent from the judgment. Rule absolute to enter a nonsuit. THE POLICE COURT& MANSION-BOVSE. Two young men, named Bursky sad Saunders, were brought up in custody of Hancock, a detective officer, charged with attempting to commit a robbery. The nature of the offence imputed to the prisoners was of a novel character, and it will be well for the public, or at all events that portion of it who represent commercial firms as travellers in the metropolis, to be on their guard in future. It appeared that on the previous afternoon the officer maw ono of the prisoners manias after a commercial traveller's trap in Cannon-street, sad he took something from his pocket and was endeavouring to open the boot behind. The other man was on the pavement, sod when he saw the officer he gave a hint to his companion, and they both ran away, and it was not until afters smart chase that the offloer succeeded io capturing them. Upon their being searched a key something similar to a railway carriage key was found upon one of them, and with this instrument they were able to open the boots of travellers' traps ; and it was stated that a great many robberies of this description had been recently committed, and many wholesale houses had been robbed of property to a very considerable amount The prisoners were remanded. The public are aware that on Tuesday last a number of gentlemen, anion whom was Mr. Hickson, thechairman of the Poplar Union, waited upon the Lord Mayor for the purpose of enlisting his sympathy and co-operation in their endeavour to raise a sum of mooey for the relatives of the crew of the unfortunate steamship the London, wbo lost their lives when she foundered. His lordship consented to the application, but soggreted that before the matter was placed before the public it would be well that a committee should be formed for the purpose of ascertaining the exact number of persons wbo had become destitute in conse quence of the sad calamity, and the probable amount that would be required to supply their necessities. It appears that no definite information has yet been obtained I. refer ence to these matters, and all that has been ascertained is that there are 14 widows sod 30 children whose husbands and fathers loot their lives in the London. GUILDHALL. Thomas Snow, 27, and William Turner, 33, well dressed, and described as betting men, were again brought up, on remand, before Sir F. 13. Moon, charged with conspiring with another man not in custody to defraud Mr. John M'Parlane, a shawl designer, of 41. The prisoner Snow met th e prosecutor in Holborn, and, after making an inquiry, he induced him to have a glass of ale. They entered a house, where another man was seen, who pretended to be drunk. Turner afterwards entered, and they all commenced tossing, except the prosecutor. He was asked if he had any money, and finding that he had only a few shillings Snow asked him the time, and on producing his gold watch the strange men said it was not a genuine one, which gave rise to a pretended bet et 21., and the presenter was fadeout to paws his wet& le HE MLA AIM it• gargling' demand for oats, and business was done at pi old. 295. to 32a. ; new, 245. to 295. ; f ore i c, 2, per 24 stone.
