LATEST SPORTING INTELLIGENCE _ ~. THE HAMPTON MEWING. TO THB IRTITOB OP TAR EXMOOR StR,--It is evident that the running of Lady Elizabeth in the Derby, and the eleventh-lour scratching of The Earl, are not to pass muster as metiers of course. Had not the son of Young Melbourne, with all the effrontery of a "square" horse, come ipt so strong at Paris and Ascot, the " mistake " made by the Danebury men would have been simply a nine days' won der, and their followers might ham remained half-satis fied ; but to see The Earl gallop home lengths in front of some of the best horse, of hie year, added bitterness to gall, and both the bookmen who had lost so heavily over Blue Oown, and the horse's backers, broke out afresh. However, no one expected that one of the very heads of the turf, if not the head, would take up such a strong position in favour of the public, until Admiral Itous's thunderbolt was launched, in the shape of a abort letter to the Times, which, after contradicting the story that he had attributed Lady Eliza beth's bad running in the Derby to poison, goes on to say that not only the presumed owner of the filly but the whole racing world h,ul been deceived for months, and that the "stable" knew she could notpossibly win the blue ribend all the time they were asserting she could give The Earl pounds innumerable. The Admiral speaks all through his letter as though he were stating facts he could easily substantiate, and what the upshot will be no one can tell. One thing is certain, that we shall now have an "ex planation," or something of the kind, from the parties so roundly abused, and it is dreadful those hot days to think what warm letters will be written on each side before the matter is allowed to drop—or mayhap the "gentlemen of the long robe" must be called in to set things straight. It will be curious to notice how the bookmaker and the trainer get out of the dilemma in which they are placed ; but till they move further in the matter It will be better to defer all comment, and by the end of the week we shall doubtless see much further into the mystery, which will doubtless be as much a topic of conversational Hampton as it was at Windsor. The latter meeting is not yet concluded, and if it were I should be dubious about dealing with the events to be decided on Moulsey Hunt, where the ground must be in a state hard enough to upset any calculations. However, Emigration ran well enough at Ascot to win the Surrey and Middle eex Stakes, and your readers will do well if they interfere with no other race.—l am, &a, METEOR.

COURT OF QUERN'S BENCH. After Term Nisi Pritia Sittiage at Westminster.—(Before the Lord Chief Justice aod a Special Jury.) The further hearing of this case, which was an action for libel against the Daily Tolestraph, was resumed this morn ing. Mr. Serpent Parry, Mr. Baker Green, Mr. Butler Rigby, and Mr. H. Dunphy were counsel for the plain tiff ; Mr. Coleridge, Q.c., Mr. fterjeant Ballantins, Mr. Montagu Williams, and Mr. Henry James appeared for the defendants. The evidence takin on the trial at Brussels was read this morning, in order to show the i0100U111604 and omis sions in the reports published in the Doily Telegraph which formed the subject of the libels. It was then proposed to read certain portions of the reports of the trial at Brussels published in the Echo drt Purletnent. Wit 2 stated to be correct, end which greatly differed from that contained in the Daily Telegraph. Mr. IL Williams, in the absence of his leader, asked to have the whole of the acts, d'accusation read. The Lord Chief Justice said it would be read when Mr. Coleridge was present and would be answerable for such a waste of time. MT.Beijeant Parry amid it would take three days to read the whole of it and the evidence. The Lord Okief Justice said he had no wish to oneoumge the reading of the whole of it. The reading commenced with the 33rd witness for the tion on the trial, viz. ? the expert, who spoke to prosecution -shot wound, the writing "I have done it," and who gave it as their opinion that it was a suicide and not a murder. having returned, said he bad been in formed his lordship had made an observation on his ab sence as if he wished to have the mote &accusation read to oocupy the time of the court during his absence. That was not the cam. He and his learned friend, Ber jeauit Ballantine, had gone to the Divorce Court to have the case of Tichborne e. Tichborne postponed. The Lord Chief Justice said he did not make the slightest reflection on the learned counsel's absence, be cause there were times when it was inevitable. He could not think it right that such • long document should be read in order to occupy the court until his return. That would be a waste of public time he could not countenance. Mr. Coleridge asaurred his lordship that nothing of the kind was intended. The Lord Chief Justice said that if the learned counsel considered it should be read it must be done, but he should have imagined that it would have been sufficient for coun sel to refer to it in their addressee to the jury, as they might think it necessary. It was • long document, and contained • great deal of irrelevant matter. Mr. Coleridge said—That as hia learned friend might not have an opportunity of replying to his address, he thought it was right he should know what he wished to refer to. Ho would give way with regard to the act d'aocusation ; but he thought it would be necessary to read the whole of the evidence. as it occurred on the trial. Mr. Sezjeant Parry said—His learned friend could refer to any parts of the evidence, without the whole being read. He thought it would hardly be necessary or useful to o. do s _ . . . . leridge said it would be necessary to read the whole of the evidence because the issue was not whether the Daily Verraph accounts were TOrbllttll 1NT9111 , , bat rather sketchy descriptions—whether they burly repre sented the whole effect of what took place on the trial daily. The leading article was a separate question and it might be that a bit here and a bit there would be enough for the purpose of the leading article. The Lord Chief Justice said the evidence was very im portant on both issues. First, was it a fair and faithful summary of what appeared at the trial, and then, the verdict having been given in favour of the accused, did the evidence on the trial justify the de fendants in quarrelling with that verdict, and in saying that the j was wrong, and that the accused nevertheless was guilty. In order to arrive at a conclu sion on that point, the jury should know what transpired daily on the trial at Brawls. The evidence was then put in and reed from the com mencement. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. SECOND COURT. Sittings at Nisi Prius in Middlesex.—(Before Mr. Justice Keating and a common jury.) PATRICE O. WOOD-BIZACE 07_1 3 1103111111 - 0i WAIIMOIL This was an action to recover damages for a breach of promise to marry, and the defendant by his plea denied tbe promise. Mr. Daly and Mr. Thomas appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. H. James for the defendant. The defendant was an eatinghouse-keeper in Doctors'. common., and some years ago the plaintiff was in his ser vice as an attendant on his child, In the year 1863 the defendant's wife died, and soon after he sought out the plaintiff, who was then in service, paid her attention, and promised to marry her. As the parties to a suit of this kind could not themselves be called as wit:Dawes, the promise could not be proved directly, but he should ask the jury to infer from the defendant's words and actions that such a promise bad been made. The defendant wrote many letters, but they were written cautiously, for there was no direct allusion in them to a promise o f marriage. In July, 1863. he ad dressed her as "Dear Annie , ' and said "I should be pleased to see you on Tuesday week or whenever it is most convenient to see me; so you must pick up and eat and drink, and then the young ladies will soon see a change in you. Keep up your pecker. (A laugh.) But never mmd ; the time will soon shp away, so good night and God bless you." In August he said " I received yours on Wednesday evening and took your advice and kept quite sober. I was rather dull at Beading, but I saw my brother and a few other Oxford swells them. I re main, your loving, HY. WOOD." In September he wrote asking her to meet him on Thursday, and in allu sion to the plaintiff's mistress, said, " Tell her you want to come out very particularly, and must come out, and never mind what the says, it won't be for much longer, and I should not care what she says." The acquaintance continued for some time, and a child was barn ; but the defendant instead of marrying the plaintiff married another woman. . . . . Jane Beeeeley, of Greenwich, said that she was sister to the plaintiff, who was 28. She was in service with the defendant at Oxford, and afterwards de took a situa tion in London. In May, 1863, witness called upon her sister, and found her with the defendant. Witness was about to ask him how Mrs. Wood was, when he put • "memory card" of her death into witness's hand. Wit ness said, " What, is Mrs. Wood dead r' and added, ' Are you married?" He said, " No, I am not, but I shall be very soon—your sister's mine now for ever." Three weeks after be spent the even ing with the plaintiff at witness's home. In Sep tember, 1863, the plaintiff left her situation, and went to witness's house. The defendant called regularly twice a week. She believed them to be married ; the defendant requested the plaintiff to use his name, and she was called Mrs. Wood by every one. In January, 1864, the plaintiff was very unhappy, and when witness questioned her she said that she was not the defendant's wife. Witness wrote that night to the defendant, and he came. He said, "If she is not m wife I mean to marry her." He said that he did not t hink that the plaintiff would have betrayed him by saying that they were not married. He re peated that he would marry her ; but it was not convenient to take her home in her present con dition. Witness said if he would marry her she should stay with witness until after the child was born, and as long after as he should think proper. He said he would see, and let her know on Wednesday. On that day he said he did not know how it could be done, but he wished his right arm might perish if he did not marry her. The child was born on the Bth March, 1864. The defendant continued calling, and said ha would marry her directly she was W . strong enough. He left off in 1865. In that year witness called on him several times hi Great Knight Rider-street, where he kept an eating house. He said he was sorry he had not married the plaintiff, but he would put her or a way to get her hying, and as long as he lived be would me to her. In 1866 he again said he would marry her. Cron-examined—The defendant was assistant cook at St. John's College, Oxford, when he became acquainted with the plaintiff. His wife died on the 18th of April, 1883, and the plaintiff's child was born on the Bth March, 1864. In September, 1867 an order of aflLliation was made by consent upon the defendant, who was ordered M pay 2a. 6d. a week for the child. The action was men menoed almost Immediately afterwards. Mrs. Susannah Collins said that prior to witnem's marriage the plaintiff lived with her. The defendant visited her in 1164 once • week. Wittier never saw him but once at the door, and then he asked for the plaintiff by the same of Mrs. Wood. Mr. James called no witnesses, but argued that the pro miss bad not been satidaotonly made out. The 'my found for the plaintiff—damages, 201. Mr. applied for a certificate, under the new act, for coda. Mr. Justice heating said that be thought that the cam night wall have been tried in the County Court. Mr. Daly reminded his lordship that the defendant had made the case a special jury moat that he bad thee delayed the trial for az month; and that he had never summoned the spedal jury. Mr. Justice Keating observed that, as the defendant had said that the case was important enough to be tried by a special jury, there would perhaps be no harm in adopt ing his view to the extent of saying that the cam wes to be tried in a superior court. A certificate for costs was then granted. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) TIES mummy= BAZONETin. In the probate suit relating to the iNtchborne property, the court granted a commission, returnable in six months, to collect evidence in America and Australia. Kr. Coleridge, Q.C., and Yr. Hayford, appeared for the plaintiff, wbo claimed to be filr Roger Titehborse ; fierjeant Ballantine and Dr. Tristram for the defendant, the infant. HMI. r. DXLL AND ROLIOTD. Dr. Bpinks, Q.C., 434iir:iciiric;Wii the petitioner, Colonel Bell, of the 2iltd Foot. a gallant officer with the Victoria Croat He married the respondent, then Miss Aline Brook in April 1857. He soon afterwards went with his regiment to India, where he remained till the suppression of the mutiny. He thou returned to Europe, and lived with his wife at Gibraltar, whence he wont with the troops toCanada. The co-respondent was Captain Hot ro7d, of the same regiment, who was an intimate fnend of the parties. In 1867 Mrs. Bell, having for some time ceased to cohabit with her husband, found that she Wee in the famil way, and when she felt that she could no longer oo her situation, she conformed her guilt to him. Colonel Bell thereupon sent her home, and com menced these proceedings. She accused the co-respondent of being the father of her child, and evidence was given to chow that a great degree of intimacy had really sub sisted between them. There was another child, whose paternity she admitted to be doubtful. Mr. M. Jones appeared for the petitioner. Decree nisi, with costs. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Acting Commissioner Mirlitt) IN BM 818 H. C...OI2NDSX, BART... This was an adjourned sittind ei ti r eiamination and dis charge. The bankrupt, Biz Chudleigh Oxendon, was described as of tihepherdwel , near Dover, having letters addressed to him at Brecon Park, Canterbury, and formerly of various places in Dover. His debts aro 999/., of which the largest, 27W., is due to Mr. Long, sur geon, who holds a bill of isle on the bankrupt's furniture. The rest are due in small amounts to tradesmen in Lon don, Dover, Canterbury, and elsewhere. At the last sitting he was ordered to tile cash and deficiency accounts, but had not done so. Mr. G. Lewis, who appeared for the bankrupt, attri buted the non-filing of the amounts to mistake. Accounts had been prepared, but they were not in proper form. He therefore asked for another adjournment. Mr. Aldridge, for the official assignee, consenting, the case was again adjourned for • month. POLICE COURTS.-(THIS DAY.) MANSION HOUSE. MUM OP THRIATENIIIO TO 107101111. IN Fermi, aged 60 , the publisher of fiat of the arrivals and depart ures of /mei. engaged in the corn trade, was brought up on demand before the Lord Mayor this morning in custody of detective Sergeant Brett on the EtZeof threatening to murder Mr. Basil Metes, a merchant, carrying on business in the City. Mr. Campbell Sleigh, the barrister, appeared on behalf of the complainant. The prisoner was undefended, and it was stated that application had been made at his request to several solicitors to appear on his behalf, but all of them had refused to attend. It appeared that about eighteen years ago the prisoner commenced the publication of his shipping list, and that eight years subsequently a similar list was started by Mr. Dornbusch, which was patronised by Mr. lithe and other merchants interested in the corn trade, and, as the de fendant alleged, to the great detriment of hie own publi cation. This seems to Lave exasperated the defendant both against Mr. Dornbusch and the subscribers to his list, and it appeared that about three years ago the prisoner was sentenced to 18 months' im • ent for an smelt committed upon the former . Bine e kis robins he had Mat a iannabes of threatening letters to the complainant and other merchants, In one of whioh he told Mr. Males to " make the sign of the cross," which, in Italian, had the signification " prepare for death;" and on Thursday last he went to a er's in Oxford-street and ordered 26 bullets to be made for a pistol which he carried with him. Just previous to this he wrote, re questing an appointment with Mr. Melia, winch the latter gentleman did not attend, and the prisoner was then given into custody. The evidence for the prosecution was now concluded, but the Lord Mayor remanded the prisoner until Wednes day next in order that inquiries may be made into the state of his mind. SOUTRWABX.

Coastwise, as well as by rail, the receipts el home grown wheat were trifling. For both red and white there was a moderate demand, and Monday's quo lotion parcelsti o ms were supported. Full average supplied of foreign wheat were on the elands. The demand was in retail, at the rates previ ously current. Floating cargoes of wheat moved off slowly. For other descriptions of produce afloat, the inquiry was limited. The show of barley, which was moderate, was almost entirely composed of foreign produce. Bales programed slowly at the late decline. Malt was dull, at previous quotations. Fine oats were in fair request at full prices ; otherwise, the market was heavy. Beans were dull of sale, and there was very little anima tion in the demand for peas. Flour moved off slowly. Country marks were unaltered.

MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.) ONE CLOCK. The rcarketa for public securities are dull to-day, and the variations in prices, though not numerous, are mostly in an unfavourable direction. Consols are still offered, and have experienoed a fresh decline of 1-16 per cent. The recent im portant rise has led to many sales on tho part of bankers and others, who made purchases months ago at much lower quotations. As a natural consequence, the supply of stock amongst the dealers has largely increased. Railway stools have given way in several instances. The changes in foreign bonds are about evenly balanced. An increased demand for money is apparent, and the rate for choice bills is firm, at 11 per cent.

The Stock Exchange will be closed on Sattirday next, the day fixed for the Volunteer Review at Windsor. It would appear that, notwithstanding the great abundance of money, which has caused outstand- to be carried over with unusual fa;lity, the disposition to buy foreign stocks has been sensibly checked through the disposition mani fested by Austria and Italy to tax their =e ditors, and through a fear that the example of confiscation set by those States will spread. In several instances there have been, in consequence, bowl fide sales of foreign stocks, and exchanges into the India Five and Pour per Cent. stocks, as well as into the Indian guaranteed railways. Holders of the latter do not lose sight of the fact that at no period—not even at the height of the Sepoy mutiny—have they ever had any ground to feel the slightest uneannese concerning the punctual payment of their interest. The New Argentine Loan has been coldly received, in spite of the satisfactory stipula tion, so necessary in all future contracts for foreign loans, that it is to be exempt from all present and future taxation. Such subscriptions as may be sent in for it will probably be obtained through the powerful connexions of the agents, there beMg apparently little or no demand on the part of fis general public for a stock, the proceeds of whist are not to be applied to reproductive weskit but to the purposes of net% The City of Baltimore has aniMed from New York with 82,0001. in specie; mid the Bremen with 40,6001.

Via-Chancellor lialins has fixed the 23rd inst. for tho appointment of an official liquidator of the Imperial Steam and Howiehold Coal Company (Limited). Prom the report of tho directors of the Bank of South Australia, to be anbmittod at the annual meeting on the 23rd inst., we extract the fol lowing : The past year has afforded the opportunity of tho roughly testing the assets of the bank, which have bee. satisfactorily proved to be in aeound state. This has been facilitated by the contraction of credit in Australia as is most otherperts of the world. From the depredating,, however, in the values of land, stock, and produce, in crewed caution has berm necessary in the oonduct of the bank's operations. Under these circumstances the mutt of director are happy to state that the year'. accounts show an absence of loss from bad debts, and that oaw siderable amounts have been recovered from debts formerly written off as doubtful. The directors are consequently able to announce that the balance to the credit of profit and loss warrants them in recommending • dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum, free of income taz—e decision which has been arrived at after carefully review ing the condition of each account, and the general position of the bank. There has been carried to the reserved fund the sum of 6,89 W., being 10 per cent. off the profits of the pest year, in conformity the clause of the new charter„ authorising the fund to be increased to 126,0001. on the preeenteapital of the bank.
