Usually on the appearance of the weights for the Great Spring Ilendicup a number of horses are backed, and a large aniouut of speculation takes place. Such, however, was not the case on the present occasion, as the proceed ings were of a tams description, and although a few bets were booked in connection with the Liverpool Grind National, there was but one blow struck on the Chester (lop, wh ite nothing was done about any of the other events. For the great ones country contest Fan and Shakespeare were decidedly the favourites. 20 to 1 would have been taken about the first-named, and after that price had been accepted about Shak he would have been supported fur 501. in one bet, for smaller sums on the like terms. Six homes were hacked for a " pony " each at ZS to 1, and three or four others at various pries for small suns.

TI4II I.LON Tl►UL—The growing depression in the iron trade of South Staffordshire is becoming very marked. Yesterday no fewer than three blast furnaces, all belongmg to ono firm, and affording employment to '" ' perhaps .LO men and boys, were put out, near Wolver hampton. The furnaces were those known as the Mill _ . . . . fields furnaces, and belonging to hissers. Gibbons. Ito duction, in the quantity of machinery kept in operation in the inakii.g of finished and pig-iron in other parts of South Staffordshire are also taking place. All the week u. able-bodied men, some of them skilled ironworkers, have been breaking atones at the Wolverhampton Union, receiving le. per ton per day, and 1.1. per child per week when that work was accom plished. 1 esterday an addition was made to the number, amounting to 9t), and it was resolved to increase the weekly payment per child from lid. to rid., but the totai per f .roily not to exceed 2.. per week for childreu's allowance. There are now, therefore, 150 able-bodied men wio cannot find work at the iron -works, the mines, and the other places of work in the Wolverhampton Union alone. compelled to get a tare pittanoe for the support of their &Indies in this way. The increase in the want of employment, which has risen 33 per cent. during the week, will. after the blowing amt of the furnaces above mentioned, together with other diminutions in the work done, be in • yet greater proportion. We learn by tele graph late last night, and subeoquently to the shove being written, that Mews. Gibbons' Millfields bled furnaces and colliery have stopped payment, with liabilities to about 40,0001. It is understood the Birmingham Bank are creditors for 12,q101. The bailiffs entered last night.

Bad as the materials were, they appeared to realise good prices. THE EDUVATIoN QURsTIoN IN SCOTLAND.-011 Thursday afternoon a numerously attended meeting, pre sided over by the Lord Provost, and taken part in by a number of the leading citizens, was held in Glasgow, for the purpose of considering the question of national educe tiom The resolutions agreed to were moved by Mr. ihsham, M.P., Nee. G. S. Hems, Rev, 0. Buchanan, cud ushers, and were to the effect that some united and gene ral action is now called for; that the existing means of instruction in Scotland are inadequate, and must be I altered, enlarged, and improved, so as to bring • good education within the reach of every child of • suitable age : that this object may bo attained either by exceeding the present parish school system, liberalising its management. and incorporating with it existing deno minational schools, if neeerary, or by tetabliehing a new system on a comprehensive basis, including the parish and denominational schools, it being expressly provided that any religious teaching or service shall be given at • distinct hour, that any scholar may be with held from such teaching or service to which his or her parents way object, and that such non-attendance shall form no disqualification as regards the benefits and privileges of . the school ; that the schools should vbeeireNpiTs' in•hrar t or b :d l roe:loran t easl io a l i rde t , h er M II R L: ""2 11 t proportioes by the landowners, tenants, and householders of the district, being payers of school rates, or In some other equitable manner, and should be placed under the management of a antr al board of education in Scotland, to which the p.'neral control of the school system, within limits to be defined by parliament, and the distribution of the feuds provided by the state, should be entrusted.

ATTLMPT TO BLOW UP CO-OPERATIVE STORER.— A dastardly outrage occurred at Old &Word, near Not tingham, late on Wednesday evening, an attempt being made with gunpowder to blow up the stores of the co operative society in that place. The premises of the society comprise a sale shop, a store-room, and the resi dence of the manager, M r . L. Neon. According to the natal custom, the shutters of the store-room were closed about dusk on Wednesday evening, but left unfastened. About eight o'clock Mr. Bezon was carrying parcels of loaf sugar into the shop adjoining the store-room, and was in the set of picking up Gee which he had let fall, when • violent explosion took place immediately beneath him. His face and beard were singed, and his coat and shirt sleeve set on tire. He ran to the pump at once and ex tinguished the flames, hut was so stunned as to be inca pable of relating what bad happened. On coining to him self again he went into the store-room, where everything was in great disorder. It appeared from an examination of the piece that some miscreant had thrown a canister of gunpowder Mucugh the pane. Pieces of glass were found on t he floor from the casement to the opposite side of the room, end fragmental of • tin ore were afterwards found. The damage done was iaconsidarahle, but the window in the room and that in the sale-room were smashed, and • heavy beam in the ceiling was cracked. The houses in the vicinity were mush shaken, and • girl named Chawaer who was passing was thrown down into the road. The Polies were inisnediately communicated with. Two trumps were 144.1:1 in the village during the day begging, sad wiles relief was refused they were very insolent. But these fellows were not seen late in the afternoon, and the perpe- Union of this dastardly set are yet at large. 7017- * J4J-I Y.A.WITI 1 1.

Yesterday Mr. Wm. Payne, City coroner, held en inquiry at the Crown Tavern, Blackhlars-road, touching the death of Louis Wagstaffe, 14 months. The deceased was the daughter of " two saints " of the faith called the "Peculiar People." Though • girl she was named Louis, after a mint of the church. As will be seen by the evidence taken in the case, the unfortunate child lost her life through the too strict adherence of her parents Ito one of the tenets of the " Peculiar Church." Mrs. Fanny Adley, 16, Prince's-street, Blackfriars reed, said that she was • widow, and was one of the " Peculiar People." The deceased was the daughter of Thomas Wagstaffe, a wharf labourer, and Mary Andrews, his wife. The child was always delicate, and it suffered from a cough. The elders of the church were called to gether and they anointed the child. The ceremony gone through was the pouring of oil out of • phial on to the child's chest. They prayed to the Lord to heal the child and raise it up again. Whitest did not suggest the calling in of a doctor, became* when she was herself load low the Lord of all raised her up again. She went by the word of God. On Tuesday last she saw the child was wow, and death took plain on Wednesday. They gave every nourish ment to the child, and also brandy and water. The reason they did not call in • doctor was that Scripture said " Cursed is man that trusteth in man ; " and also, " Trust not in an arm of flesh." A Juror—Did not Jesus speak of calling in physicians to the sick? Witness—ln what part of Holy Writ do you find that? The Juror confessed that he did not know, but he asked the witness, " If your leg was broken would you call in • doctor, or would you merely pray to the Lord to get it mended? . Witness—The Lord says, "Not a bone of the righteous shall be broken." Thos. Cook, the coroner's officer, deposed that on Wed nesday last, from information he received, be went to 3, White Horse-yard, and in • loft over • stable in which was one horse he saw the dead body of the deceased child. The mother, Mrs. Adley, and two male persons were in the loft. They said thattlie child had been ill • fortnight, and that no doctor had seen it—" God raised up the sick and the wounded." Witness said, " What! without medical aid !" What do you call your religion? They answered " Peculiar People." . Witness re before he had never beard of such a ze k before, and he thought they were very peculiar in Dr. Thomas Donahoo, 19, Westminster-bridge-road, said that the parents called upon him for a burial certificate after the child was dead, and of course he refused to give it. He had sines, by the coroner's order, made • poet-mor tern examination. He found that death had resulted from inflammation of the lungs. The disease had been go ffig on for ten days. If medial aid had been celled in the child would have had a fair chance of recovery. Brandy and water was highly improper ; it would aggravate the disease. ThomasWagstaffe, the child's father, was then asked for an explanation of his conduct in not getting medical aid for his child. He said the reason is, I gave my heart to the Lord six years ago, and I believe that God is of my body. Now, I believe that when lam laid low the Lord will raise me up. Six years ago I believed as the people of the world do. One of the elders of the church will ad drew; you upon this. The Coroner said as the awe was a serious one he would hear any witness that could be produced. A middle-aged man who had the appearance of • shop keeper, then stapled forward and said he was an elder. He handed in' plan for the elders of the Peculiar People, 1867-8," which was simply a list of 13 places which were to be visited by the elders. The head-quarters of the sect appeared to be in Essex. The Coroner said the deceased child had lost its life through the fault of the parents in not procuring neces sary medical aid, and the offence amounted in law to man slaughter. Elders might leave their own lives to the care of the Lord if they liked, but the lives of children should not be played with. He liked their notion of trusting in the Lord, but in this case they had gone too far. The jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of " Ma ns laughter against Thomas Wagataffe and Mary Andrews Wagsteffe. The Coroner said that be would take bail for the appear ance of the accused at the Central Criminal Court. He fixed the amount at 801. for Wagstaffe and his wife, and two sureties of 401. each. Two members of the sett, hat manufacturers, became sureties. The elder above alluded to mid that in Essex, where they had numbers of these cases, Mr. Codd, the coroner, after consulting with the recorder, decided that when they sincerely believed in the Lord, it was not manslaughter. The Coroner said that he was of a different opinion, and that he would send the parties to Newgate in future oases, for children's lives should be protected. The age for miracles was past, and they would find that though the gates opened for Paul and Silas, the gates would not open for them when they were in prison. The elder remarked that physic killed a great many people. The saints gained a victory over the people of the world at the end of the case. When they had signed the bail bonds, they refused to pay the usual fees, and as the bonds were signed and aooepted, there was no way of compelling them to band over the money. RAILWAY AND OTHER BILLS BEFORE PARLIAMENT. —Yesterday the examiners upon standing order proofs met at Westinluster, and there'd of the following rail way sod other private bills now pending in parliament. There were four unopposed petitions, which came under the consideration of Mr. Freda, the examiner, who held his court in committee-room 16.

Flag AND Loss or Luz. —A disastrous and destructive fire broke out about midnight en Thursday, on the premises of Mr. Frederick Pigg, hosier and boot and shoe manufacturer, Market-row, Great Yarmouth. It appears that Mr. Pigg , his wife Sarah Plgg, aged 26, his servant, • young woman named Rebecca Abbe, and their three infant children—Edith, egad 2j years, Fanny Eliza, aged one year. sad Mabel, aged one month—retired to rest at as early hour on Thursday night, leaving every thing apparently see. Mr. Pia. his wife, and the youngest infant slept in the middle floor, while she servant, with the other children, slept in an attic. At midnight Mr. Pigg was awakene d by a feeling of suffocation, and he soon discovered that the room was filled with smoke. He roused his wife, who, in her fright, rushed up stairs after the other infanta. In the mean time the flames, which had originated in • lower story, spread with rapidity. The servant, with great diffi culty, escaped with one child, Edith, by jumping through a back window, wounding one of her legs, and severedy cutting one of her feet. Mr. Pigg also escaped, although he fainted when he reached the street. Mrs. Pigg was beard to exclaim that she could not desert her children. and just then the roof gave way, and she and her little ones were buried under the burning mass. The locality is densely populated, and the houses are in close contiguity on each aide of the row. The fire accordingly parsed from Mr. Ingo's house, which was completely gutted, to the house of Mr. Tyson , a draper, on the opposite side, cad the house of Mr. A. Waters, another draper, hc., a great amount of additional damage being thus inflicted. The charred remains of Mrs. Pigg and her two ohiklres were dug out of the ruins of Mr. Pigg's hams in the seams of yesterday morning. Mr. Pigg was but partially thawed the other sufferers were fully insure d. _ The damage is estimated at from 3,000 f. to 4,00 W. The Yarmouth fire brigade rendered good service in subduing the firs.

On Sun day, at • quart= to three o'clock, Richardecm, O'Leary, Lyttelton, and one er two others same into tay been with the witness Boadall. it'Carthy and =other man afterwards aims in together. I served them with • pint of stout. They were in different com prised' in front of the bar. Shortly afterwards four we 1 , 5 mama in, and one of the latter came round to Benslall and in the hearing of the others mid, " I heard you pa sow remarks about America last night, which I i t=ou're • liar." By the remarks then made by the man was DANA= that he had been in America. The man had previously abed Randall "• Fenian." Lyttelton afterwards struck his hand on the counter end " We have a snake amongst as which we must with." He got excited, and challenged Bonded to ht. Bondall salted me for the key of my private room, and I gave it to my boy, and they walked into the parlour, but not Lyttelton at that time. Lyttelton did go in afterwards, and the door was closed. When they had been in the room about • quarter of an hour, as it was about • few minutes to 3 I demanded admimion. The door was locked. After • few minutes the door was opened, and I said, "My house ia eke= in front. You mart goont the back way." They all went out. While they were in the room Richardson made a remark as to what was going on inside. About a quarter to five the MUM afternoon Ron da came back and told me what had been going on. M'Carthy, Richardson, Lyttleton, and O'Leary moon after mime in together. O'Leary, who had his coat off, attempted to strike Bondall. I interfered, and Lyttelton rushed at ins to strike ma in the jaw. Lyttelton—That's truth. (Laughter.) Witness—Richardson interfered, took off his coat, and said Lyttelton had no right to strike me. They then went away. Cress-examined by Mr. Pulling—l do not remember ever to have seen M'Carthy before the =cud= to which I have referred. I don't remember ever to have seen Richardson before. They came at • quarter before two, and afterwards went into the room, where they slopped for • quarter of an boar. Mr. Pulling—Then what became of the hour that inter vened until then ? Witness—How should I know ? I em not supposed to know how the time passed. lit. Maude—Why, they must have been about three quarters in front of your bar, then? Witness—They might have been. I cannot swear that M'Carthy or Richard.= did not leave the room. The door was looked. I believe M'Carthy was outside the room when it was locked, and I said to him I wanted to turn the people out. He did not, to my knowledge, ay "We are waiting to take • Fenian." I never heard him make use of the words, but he may have used them. Before the door was opened I did not see Richardson out side the door. He did not say to me, " There is some bad business going on inside, get the door opened." M'Carthy did not say he was waiting to arrest any one. When I opened thedoor I let out three, viz. :—Lyttlelton, O'Leary, and the witness Bondall, and there was nobody then left in the room. Mr. Mande—Then it is quite clear Richardson was not in the room, nor M'Carthy either. Mr. Pulling—Just so, air ; that is what I wanted to establish. Orem-examination continued—l recollect M'Carthy coming in that evening at half-past four, but I do not know that he took any part in the fight which took place. The only part Richardson took in it was to defend me. Mr. Pu llin g—Now, during the whole of the time that M'Carthy was in your house did you hear from him • single expression relating to Fenianiam ? Witness—l did not. The prisoner Lyttelton here asked that his wife might leave the court, as she probably would get too excited at the hearing of the came. Mr. Maude--She is at perfect liberty to go out of the want. Lyttelton—And let the potboy of the King William go eat of court. Mr. Mande—Yes ; not only out of court, but out of hearing. Ilr. Pulllog—During the whole day did you hear Richardson say anything about Fenianisni? Witness—l did not. Cram-examination continued—Bondall was the first person who spoke to me about this Fenianism after this. He came to we after the house war opened, about • quarter past five, to tell me what he had been taken to the station for. I did sot see him that day again. I only knew him as one coining in for about • week to take a glees of ale. He came in like any other man. Mr. Maude—Any other man? What do you mean? Did he frequent the house? Witness—He came in once or twioe a day. Mr. Pulling—Did he ask you did Irishmen frequent the house? Witness—Oh, I am supported entirely by Irishmen. After some futther evidence the prisoners were re- manded until Friday next. A SHERIFF CHARGED WITH FINIAIVOL—On Wednesday last, say" the Onerneeg Mail and Telegraph, • serious charge of Fenianism was brought against Mr. Thos. Simon, her Majesty's sheriff for the island of Alderney. The investigation, which took pie:eyelets the magistrates, was conducted in private, and the nature of the evidence has not been ciliates]. Mr. Simon, however, was sus pended from his office, and ordered to give bail for Lis ap pearance at either of the oourts of Guernsey or Alderney, to answer any charge that may be brought against him. The matter has created great sensation in the Channel Islands, EXTRAORDINARY DISCOVERY IN A Lot ECG GAGs Orrtcm—ln October last, on the arrival of a Hem ford train at Shrewsbury railway station, a porter found under the seat of a second-class carriage a small box, appa rently loft there by a forgetful passenger. The box was addressed to a person in Edinburgh, and was directed to be left in the railway station there " till called for." No one cowing forward to claim the property, it wee removed to the last luggage office, and reported in the usual manner to the Clearing-house, London. In accordance with the practice of the railway authorities of opening and exa mining during the present month all the un cla imed pro perty which may have come into their possession during the preceding year, the box in question was, on Thursday, opened by one of the parties, when to his astonishment the contents proved to be the body of a full-grown child. The corpse was carefully wrapped . up in many folds of newspaper, but there was not a single article of clothing, or anything else that might afford a due to the identity of the child or its parents. The box appeared to have been specially made for the purpose for which it had been nsed, and so tightly and ski ally was the body packed that, when opened on Thursday, after lying in the office for upwards of three months, it was found to be in a state of perfect preservation. On being exposed to the air, how ever, it immediately became affected, and rapidly reached • state of decomposition. Pending the result of the medi cal examination made with a view to an inquest, it is not possible to state with accuracy how the child came by its death.

THE ELVER AT TIIRLI/fO.--Since the publication of Mr. Alfred Reedited's special report on the above epidemic in our journal of the 11th inst., we regret to say that, instead of an abatement, there has been • rapid increase, both in the intensity and extent of the disease. During the last fortnight the able-bodied agricultural labourers, who at first, to • certain extent, were free from fever, have fallen virgins to it, and as nurses cannot be procured at any pries those even, who are still free, have been oblig ed to remain at home to attend to their sick wives and families ; these are now su ccumbing daily to the fatal pestilential air of their habitations, so that net only are fresh cases on the inane'', but relamee__, from which few seem likely to recover, are frequent. The general impression is that if energetic means are not adopted, the whole population of this ill-fated village will be swept away. Our medical brethren are doing their work nobly, and we feel that the want of action am aeg the authorities does not arias from • want of the best advice. We know that Messrs. Tom kin, Barron, Proctor, sad Gi111906 have all done their utmost, sot only in nesting the disease, but in urging the necessity of syetematkelly adopting those measures which we feel convinced are the only means of Manipur; oat this destroying fever. The medical men see over worked far beyond their strength, and it is but just, it ia but humane, that • st•ff of competent persons sh au ould 'east them by seeing that their sanitarrregaLtions stn ca out to the letter. As we have said bedlam all the excreta should be at *sae disinfested either by car bolic acid or chloride of lime, and water from use doss'd be imported without delay. On Monday there was • meeting of the based of guardians, at which = l . Banco and Climacia were preeent. p le tio th e e sugges tions of these vedettes, who are se augmented with every detail of this epidemic, will, wi t a single moment's delay, he adopted. Some two or three old wells beve been dosed, and • new one is being mink. The gars , dims have also provided Messrs. ?noise and Gimson with an siniatant.

(Before Mr. Payne.) Joseph Hodges, 32, was indicted for stealing two dead fowls, value 60., the property of Richard James. The prosecutor is • asesemonger and poulterer, living at Viotoria-road, Pimlico, and on the night of the 4th of January the prisoner went up to the tors shop, deliberately took two fowls from the =and ran away with them. He was pursued, when he threw the fowls away, bat was caught and given into custody. The prisoner in hie defence said he was drunk and did not know what he was about, but the witnesses denied the drunkenness. The jury found the prisoner I Guilty. Herbert Reeves, warder at Coldbath.fielde Prison, put in the following convictions against the primp.). :—Nins months, at the 11016311$ of this coast, 15th of April, 1861, in the name of John Hall, for riesling linen from • cart • eighteen months, 24th of March, 1862 , at the seeirions of this court, in the name of John Williams, for attempting to steal • cue of stuffed birds ; three months, 24th December, 1863, at Marlborough-street police-court, in the name of John Hodges, for attempting a robbery ; two years, at these session., October 3, 1863, for stealing pots ; and sit months, October 12,1867, at Marlborough-street policecourt, as a rogue and a vagabond. Mr. Payne said he had had along career of crime and almost every deecription of punishment, and be must therefore now be removed from society for some time to come. The sentence now upon him was that he be kept in penal ser vitude for seven years. THE POLICE COURT& MANSION-HOUSE. Mr. Charles Knight, • gentleman connected with a bank in Lombard-street, attended before the Lord Mayor to answer a summons which charged him with unlawfully detaining a watch, • scarf-pin, and some other articles of jewellery and wearing apparel, the property of a person named Alderman George Partridge. Mr. Vann, solicitor, appeared on behalf of the defendant. The case was one of rather • singular nature. It ap peared from the statement of the complainant, who is • clerk to • mercantile firm, that he married a daughter of the defendant, and had one child. Returning home one day he found them both gone, together with the servant, and the house locked up. The property mentioned in the summons had also been removed, and be subsequently discovered that it was in the possession of the defendant, against whom be took out the present summons to obtain its restitution. In reply to questions put by Mr. Vann in cross-exami nation, the complainant said the transaction to which be referred took place in the year 1864, and the reason he gave for the delay which had occurred was that he had been very ill an d in attendance on en hospital as an out patient. He also stated that shortly after his wife was removed to her father's house be received information that she was dying, and she and the child did in fact die shortly afterwards. He admitted that the property in dis pute belonged to his wife, and he asserted that it was still in the possession of the defendant, because he bad seen it there within the last three months. Mr. Vann, addressing the Lord Mayor, said the case was one of a painful character. The fact was that an un fortunate marriage had been contracted, and for reasons which it was not necessary for him to go into the wife of the complainant felt compelled to leave his house and take refuge at her father's with her child, andshortly after wards she died. With regard to the property referred to, the whole of it belonged to the wife of the complainant. The wearing apparel consisted mainly of children's clothing and the remainder was small trinkets and paraphernalia, which according to common law was the personal prepaq of the wife. After her death this property was diatrlbuted among her relations, and the complainant had no lawful claim whatever upon it. He might mention that the com plainant had applied to two respectable solicitors to take the matter up for him, but upon • representation of the facts being made to them they both declined to do so. In addition to the facts as above stated, he should also sub mit that under Jervis's Act the complainant ought to have instituted proceedings within six months, but be did not rely upon that so much as upon the fact that he had no claim to the property. The Lord Mayor said that in looking at all the facts he should dismiss the summons, as it was clear that the com plainant had no right to the property. Charles Woodhorae, a private of the Scotch Fusilier Guards, lying at Chelsea Barracks, was charged under the following circumstances by William Turner, • messenger at Guildhall police-court : The prosecutor said that shortly after ten o'clock on the previous night he was passing through Threadneedle-street, when the prisoner, who was in uniform and wore his mili tary overcoat, stopped him, told him that he was very badly in want of money, and that he must give him • few halfpence. Witness, who was in plain clothes, told him he should do no such thing, and that if be was distressed he should go to his regiment. Prisoner then said that if be did nut give him some money be would soon makeloiin, and proceeded totake off his belt,when ness, putting his hand under him mat, told him that if he used his belt he would give him something that would stick to him. On this the prisoner no longer threatened violence, but made use of disgusting language both towards him (witness) and • young woman by whom he was accom panied for the purpose of serving a summons. He after wards called a policeman, and gave the prisoner into custody. A sergeant of the Fusilier Guards attended in court, and said the prisoner's conduct was very irregular, and, in fact, he was never out of trouble, either for drunkenness or ab sence without leave. He had been five or six years in the service. Prisoner said be was drunk or he would never have done what he bad. On the application of the sergeant the prisoner was de livered over to him for the purpose of being charged with desertion, as he had absented himself • month without leave. . - - GUILDHALL. Catherine Quill, 14, Mary Ann Connor , 12, Hannah 13, and Sarah Knight, 14, wore placed at the bar, on remand, before Alderman Lusk, )LP., having been charged with begging in the streets. These girls had been remanded by Sir Robert W. Carden for the attendance of their parents, and for the purpose of obtaining admission for them into a reformatory. Alderman Lusk asked who gave the prisoners into custody. Mr. BLatin Alef clerk) said it was the Marquis Town ahem!, but he was not now present. Alderman Lusk said it was a pity kt had not something else to do. Wm. Peet, 7.75, said he took the prisoners into custody for begging, and bad known them about the streets as beggars for the last four years. Knight's father denied this statement, and put in a paper showing that his girl had been out of a reformatory only eighteen months. The mothers of the other prisoners were present, and objected to their being sent to any institution. Alderman Link said he would not take these girls from their parents against their will, and having severely repri manded their mothers for allowing their children to go out to beg, discharged the prisoners on their promising to give up the practice. James Patteron, a convicted thief, and William Sall horse, were finally examined, charged with being suspected persons. Mr. Bury Hutchinson appeared for Patterson. On the night of Thursday week the prisoners and a man named Moriarty (since discharged) were observed by Policeennstable Wells, 901 B, and Grant, /S 9 B, loitering about the corner of Little College and Wood streets, oppo site the Bull public-louse. After manceuvring for 20 minutes they separated, and the constables went towards Patterson, who remained at the corner ; as they advanced, he presented and discharged a pistol, and then Tannins' down Little College-street, threw something overtbe West minster School wall as he ran. The prisoner, were rap tured and taken to the station, where Patterson asked the police in a jeering manner whether they were going to charge him with shooting at them, and then said be wished he bed shot one of them. The police returned, and on searching the spot where they had stood found a splendid jemmy of a peculiar construction and one of an inferior make standing against the wall of the Ball ; and early the next morning a pistol was found in the college ground, just where Patterson had thrown some thing over the wall, the nipple smelling strongly of gunpowder. On Patterson was found a knife such as is used by burglars to preu hack the latches of windows. Moriarty showed that he was a respectable man, and after being remanded till last Monday be was discharged. Poliae Sergeants Squire White, 11 B, and George Bone, 7 E, proved that they had been to Mr. Charles Rogers's, 8, Dean a-yard, whence 950/. worth of plate was stolen a short time ago. end oorupared the jemmy produced with the marks on the doors, chiffonnieres, cabinets, he. and found them to correspond exactly; they were very psciallar, and fitted heentitally i to the jemmy,whieh had two notches in the punching end. A burglary had been committed in Medway-street. and in that case also) there was not the • htest doubt the same jemmy had been used. lSergeant Stevens, of the A reserve, proved a conviction • of four years against Patterson, in 1869 ; and the L divi. r Mon of police described Salthouse as the constant associate of thieves. Mr. Hutchinson contended that there was no case ; but • Mr. Ingham said he believed they were about to 0001- ' mit a burglary, and believed they placed the instruments - where they were found. He sentenced them to three months' hard labour each. THAMES,. Vona°, Crossley, of the firm of Crossley and Sons, Honied pawnbrokers, of No. 18, Upper East Smithfield, appeared before Nr. Paget to answer a summons obsurgisg him with an irregularity in his business. The case was, in all its detrils, similar to the one in which a person named lAvinhorg, of Broad-street, Rat cliff, was fined 101., and also had to pay three other fines and carte to the amount of 141. Er. in all, on Wednesday, the 15th inst. The complainant in this case, filmy Ann Duggan, • poor Irishwoman, pawned a Date& clock on the 6th of the present month at the defendant's shop for 3a. 6d., and three tickets were made ont—one for the cloek, Ste. 6d. ; a second for the weights, •, and a third for the pendulum, rid. She was charged three-halfpence, OT a halfpenny each ticket. The duplicates were pro &toed. 120 M LANZ 111011 Pa GAZATTI.

MANCHNSTIM, JAN. 24. —TLe cotton market, which on Tuesday and Wedne.olay wat dull and declining, has rallied again, and yesterday and today we have a good deal of the excitement in yarn and cloth which prevailed at the close of last week, with trot higher quotations on the part of sellers. For shippin; yarns we have had a very strong and active market today, and a large business has been done at an advance of e L to id. per lb. on the rates practicable last Friday. There has also been a general inquiry, hut spinners are, many of them, indifferent to business at anything under 4d. per lb. higher rates, owing to the extent of engagements on hand Nevertheless a moderate business is reported. For cloth we have had a very general inquiry, and large offers are made, principally for shirtings suitable to the markets of India and China; but them offers are mostly at prices which, owing to the advance of cotton and yarn, manu facturers are unable to accept. Prices have been advance!. on all classes of goods, and Dollen' quotation. o!: moat descriptions are :W. to Gd. per piece in advance of the rates which merchants are do. posed to give. Consequently , though we have had • good deal of inquiry, with some little excitement, the actual amount of business effected has been small. But the market closes firm at the quotations current. The seceders from the Exchange, who took the Free Trade hall, have to-day gone back to that institution under compromise, by which the directors not only withdraw the advance of subscriptions to the country spinners aii.l manufacturers, but pay a portion of the expellee to which the seoeisioniate have been put by their engagements with the Free Trade-hall Company.
