(Before the Chief Justice, the Baron, and the Judge ordinary.) lavas V. THE ATTORNZY-GISZRAL. - TEX " PROMS ouvm" Kr. Nethendift, the expert, was once more recalled, and be masted his opinion that the signature of " J. Dun ning," asatteeting witness to the alleged will of George 111., wherein he bequeathed " to Olive, our brother of Cumber land's daughter, the sum of fifteen thousand pounds, com manding our heirs and successors to pay the same privately to on: said niece, for her use, as a recompense for the misfortunes she may have known through her father," was not written by the same hand that had signed Lord Ashburton's own will. Mr. Netherelift was next examined an to the following Witness replied in the negaliew. Be left the berra:ks clandestinely four days we. Mr. Partridge asked if he had been putted as a deserter. _ _ Witness replied that he had. The prisoner denied being a deserter. He was only absent without kayo. He had not done away with his 17 .— Par7rIdge told bins that be adjudged him a deserter, and a certificate would be forwarded to the War-office to that effect. Mr. Partridge asked if the sergeant would take charge of him, and convey him to the barracks. Sergeant Hardy rep li ed that he would, and the prisoner was given up to him. miner : "We hereby acknowledge having received to our joint 1 natation Olive, the infant child of the Duke of Cumber land, April 4, 1774. (Witness) "J. WILMOT. " ROBERT Wismar. " WARWICK. " ANNZ MARIA WILMOT." c o maring these signatures of Mr. and Mrs. Wilmot with thole - to the register of their marriage, dated ten years previously, he considered that they were genuine. Cross-examined—There are differences between the two signatures of Mr. Wilmot, but I might find other signa tures without those differences. I look at the general character. There is • difference in the t and there is a dot after it in the marriage register, which is not the case in the paper. The Chief Justice—That, we know, shows that it was not an official document. (A laugh.) His lordship pointed out that the name of Mrs. Wilmot in the register was Anna. Mr. Netherelift admitted that the A and X were quite different in the two signature, but that did not affect his opinion, because he saw little marks of agreements. The Solicitor-General—And great marks of difference? Witness—Yes. The Chief Justice—You consider shat the signature to the certificate is Utter than that to the register, notwith standing that Mr. Wilmot was older ? Witness—l do. The Chief Justice—lt is, however, very fair to remark the register is written on paper, and that it was at • wedding. (A laugh.) Witness having compared the signature of the Duke of Cumberland to his will with his alleged signature to his marrlage-certificate, he said he thought the latter genuine. He admitted, however, that in the word " Henry"all the letters were different except the "r." The Chief Justice observed that the will was only signed " Henry." Ought not some evidence to be given to show that his royal highness signed sometimes Henry," and sometimes " Henry F'rederick." The Attorney-General—lt is the habit of princes to sign only by one name ; and I have here some proceedings before the Privy Council in which his royal highness signs himself " Henry " only. The witness explained an answer which he bad given some time ago. A forger would have taken one signature and made it his model for all the series. But in this case the si gna tures were all different, and yet he traced a com mon character in them all. [The case was proceeding when our report left.) THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. HOW STREET ACCIDENTS ABE OCCASIONED. William Marking, a coachman in the employ of Mr. R. Mullinger, job master, of Chester-street, Grosvenor-place, was charged before Mr. Knox with being drunk , and incapable of driving a pair of horses attached to a carriage. Sergeant Edwards, 2 C, said that while in Bruton-street, Bond-street, the previous afternoon, his attention was called to the defendant by a gentleman, who said he was driving in a reckless manner. He went after the defen dant who warn in charge of a pair of high-spirited horses , and found him sitting on the box, the horses going at a trot, and the reins hanging down quite slack, the defendant being helplessly drunk. He then took the defendant into custody, and sent the horses and carriage home. The defendant said he was sorry for what had occurred. In answer to Mr. Knox, the sergeant said the streets were very crowded at the time, and the defendant was driving to the common danger of passengers. Inspector Bowles said the defendant was very drank. Mr. Knox said it was shown that the streets were aowded and that the defendant was drunk and driving a pair of high spirited horses, and the defendant might be thankful that no accident occurred. The public must be protected, and the defendant would have to pay a fine of 405., or a month. WORSHIP-STREET. THE STOLEN KEY. Elizabeth Hayward, a young and pretty woman, was charged on remand with stealing a key, value ono shilling I the property of her muter, Mr. William Lovelock, I resident at 17, Albion-road, D aiston, a clerk in the Bank of England. The prosecutor said—About three years since the pri soner was in my service, but her aunt, who is in a good position of life, requiring her as a companion, she left. Six months since she returned, and on the , 29th ultimo, I unintentionally left • bunch of keys at home. In the evening I perceived that one of them, be longing to a private drawer, was missing from the bunch, and that another had been substituted. Prisoner denied all knowledge of the circumstance and subsequently, on endeavouring to open the door of the wine-closet, I found that the lock had been tampered with, for I could not open it. Clue to my foot at the doorway laid this pick lock, which I had never before seen, and these combined facts induced me to give the prisoner into custody. Taylor 454 N—l saw the prosecutor attempt to open the door, the key would not turn in the lock. He said it was the substituted key. We broke the door open and took off the lock, here it is. Prisoner said nothing then, but on the following morning told me she bad tried to open the lock with the wrong key, which, breaking in the lock, she sent for a smith, who after taking the lock off and the piece of key from it had replaced and fastened it with the picklock found by her muter. Mr. Cooke—ls that man here ! Constable—No, sir, I can't find him. Prosecutor—lf the prisoner's statement is true I think that he ought to be found and prosecuted. Mr. Cooke—l shall remand the girl for that purpose. Prisoner was removed without uttering a word, • and now the constable produced a young man who said—My name is Thomas Howes, I live in Fox-lane, Kingsland, and am a locksmith and bell-hanger. On the 29th of last month, prisoner came to me and said, " We have got a key in a lock and can't take it out." I went to the house and found that the bow of a key in a lock was broken off. I took the lock off, and the key out of it; it was not the right key. I afterwards re-adjusted the lock and closed it. I don't know bow I came to leave the pick lock behind me. I thought that the family had sent for me. Prosecutor—The substituted key was furnished by this person and likewise the ring—the key I miss did not open .he lock of the wine closet. Pri , oner has robbed me I before, but I wished to save her, and forgave the act—this is my reward. I now miss at least a dozen bottles of wine from a stock laid in last October. Mr. Cooke (to prisoner)—This charge, although a v very proper one, does not in my opinion amount to felony—it is for stealing a key. Clearly the intent was to steal the wine. If you had been charged with that, and it had been proved, I would have dealt with it very severely. It is for the prosecutor to reflect whether he will do so or not. You have been under remand a week. I now discharge y ou , an d y ou l eav e this court and your situation, I presume, with a base and degraded character. With respect to you (the locksmith), it clear to me that you end eavoure d t o screen thi s g i r l from discovery and blame consequent on it. Such conduct is most repre hensible. Be careful for the future. The locksmith left the court declaring that his inten tions and acts were equally blameless. SOUTHWARK. A DESERTER FROM THIS GRENADIER GUARDS. John Ban, a private of the 2nd battalion of her Ma. Piety's Grenadier Guards, was brought before Mr. Par tndge, charged with being a deserter from the regiment. Sergeant 'lardy, of the same battalion, said that on the previous evening he was at the London-bridge station, when he saw the prisoner loitering about. Knowing him to be absent without leave he went up to him and asked him why he had not returned to the barracks and re ported himself. He turned round to witness and abused Witness then asked him to remain quiet and go with him peaceably to the barracks, or he should be com pelled to cell a constable, and give him into custody. He refused to comply with his request, and attempted to run !way, hut witness called a police constable and gave him into Custody. Mr. Partridge asked if he had a furlough.

THE CHARITY CHILDREN AT ST. PAUL'S. (THIS DAY.) The anniversary meeting of the childrenbelonging to the various parochial schools in the metropolis took place to-day at St. Paul's, under the care of the Society of Patrons. The progress of the children to the cathedral is at all tunes a pleasing sight, and their neatness and cleanliness to-day was the subject of general remark. The schools in most in stances were preceded by the " head boy" carrying the banner indicative of the parish but among the o ffi cials who accompanied the children the absence of the antiquated cocked bat worn by the beadle was particularly observed. The general company began to arrive by 11 o'clock, after which many distinguished persons assembled in the Cathedral, including the Right Hon. Lord Fever sham, President of the Society of Patrons. Divine service commenced at 12 o'clock, the sermon being preached by the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Roches ter. Before prayers the Hundredth Psalm was sung and the psalms for the day were °haunted by the gentlemen of the choir, the children joining in the Gloria Patria to each psalm. After the first lesson, a Te Deuin ; and after the second lesson, Jubilate Deo, were exe cuted by the choir and the children ; and the Coronation Anthem, which pre ceded the prayer for the Queen, was effectively rendered. The choral por tion of the proceedings also included a chorale, " Sleepers, awake! a voice is calling," from verses of the 104th Psalm ; and a grand chorus (Hallelujah) by the choir, the children taking part. AldermanCopelandwas locum !tuella for the Lord Mayor, whose duties called him to Guildhall to receive the Duke of Edinburgh. SECTARIAN RIOTS AT PLYMOUTH. (NEUTER'S ZIPPERS.) PLYMOUTH, JUNE 7. Last night a serious controversial riot took place at St. George's-hall, Stonehonee. Lectures had been in course of delivery there during the last week, by Mr. Murphy, agent of the Lon don Protestant Electoral Union, on the doctrines and practices of the Roman catholic church. Last evening the closing lecture was on the infallibility of the church of Rome and the worship of the cross. Shortly after it commenced 110 Irish people, male and female, some armed with shillelahs, made a concerted attack on the protestants. Near the platform serious con sequences would have ensued but for the conduct of some marines present. They promptly organised under the con duct of some of the non-commissioned officers, drove the rioters out of the building, ►nd escorted the lecturer home, the meeting being closed. A letter from Rome of the 31st says :—" The great precession of Corpus Domi•ii took place this morning around the colonnade of St. Peter's with the usual splen dour and order, bi 4 Holiness looking in very good health on the occasion. On Tuesday morning the Pope was pre sent at the annual funeral obsequies of his predecessor, Gregory XVI., and, after mass, performed the rite of ab solution over the pontifical catafalque." The Italian ram vessel Affondatore has left Mill wall, hang been completed for sea. She is now at Green hithe, it is stated, swinging for the adjustment of her compasses, and her convoy, the Principessa Clotilda, has gone down from Woolwich to Gravesend to await her arrival there, in readiness to proceed to Naples, their pre sent destination. 9i - L lOO SR 'NO HAMPTON RACES (THIS DAT).—Hampton races, a favourite recreation of Londoners, commenced this morn ing, and large numbers of carriages and other vehicles passed through the Strand on their way thither at an early hour.

DEATH OF MIL hi'DOUOALL STUART, THE AUSTRALIAN ETNA/KER. — The death is announced this morning of Mr. John M`Dougall Stuart, the well-known explorer of the interior of Australia. Mr. Stuart was of Scottish extraction, and was born in 1818. In early life he was engaged in business, but having determined to emi grate, he proceeded to Australia, where he settled, but was not successful in the pursuit of agriculture, to which he devoted himself. In 1857 he made an effort to explore the range of country westward of Lake Torrens, a salt lake, or marsh, of South Australia, bending in a semi-circular form round an arid and mountainous peninsula. In ISSB be made a second attempt, and was more fortunate. He suffered great hardships in this exploration, but he succeeded in opening up a large tract of country before unknown, and Lake Torrens has now been traced for 400 miles. For these services the Colonial Legislature of Adelaide re warded him with a fourteen years lease of 1,000 square miles of land. In 1860 Mr. Stuart successfully effected the journey across the interior of Australia from south to north. He was an honorary fellow of the Royal Geo graphical Society of London and Berlin, marks of dis tinction which were conferred upon him in acknowledgment of his contributions to geographical science by his explo rations. READING FOR SEAMEN.—The New York Port Society has recently adopted the plan of lending libraries to vessels leaving that port, the books to be exchanged on the return of the vessel—a movement which will do much to relieve the monotony of a sea voyage. THE ACCIDENT AT GUILDHALL. —Yesterday Mr. Foster White, the treasurer of St. Bartholomew's Hospi tal, called upon the Lord Mayor, at the Mansion Hou s e , and reported that the men who sustained injuries on Tuesday evening by the fall of a scaffold at Guildhall were all doing well, more or e less, and that none of them were understood to be in danger. He also stated, as a circum stance creditable to all concerned, that within half an hour after the accident, the whole 13 men had been comfort ably placed in bed in the hospital, and were receiving the necessary attentions of the surgeons of the establishment. SINGULAR ESCAPE. —During a violent thun derstorm which passed over North Staffordshire early on Tuesday morrow, a gardener in the employ of Messrs. Burgess and Kent, nurserymen, of Peak ull, near New castle, had a remarkable escape from in all probability instant death. At the height of the storm he left his bud to give shelter to some choice plants, which it occurred to him he had left in a rather exposed situation. Having done so, he returned to his house and found that during his brief absence it had been struck by lightning, which had burnt the bed on which he had been sleeping, and had shattered his bedroom chimney-piece to atoms.

ATTEMPT TO MURDER AT OLDHAM. —Yesterday evening, about half-past six o'clock, a desperate attempt to murder a young woman was made at the Bulls ' Head Inn, Geoige-street, Oldham. A young woman, named Mary Davis, has been employed at this place as a servant for some time. Her stepfather called at the public-house yesterday and requested her to go home with him. She refu sed, and the man, who was under the influence of drink, became greatly irritated. They were in the kitchen, and he threw the girl upon the floor and a ttempted to cut her throat with a razor. inflicting three wounds. In the struggle her hands were very badly cut, but the resistance she o ff ered was e ff ectual in saving her life. A man employed as brewer at the ' place, came into the kitchen when the murderous work was proceeding, and the stepfather tamed upon him, but assistance was called in, and he was overpowered and given into custody. The man's name is not )et known, and he 1 refuses to disclose it to the police. The girl's windpipe is slightly cut, but there is every hopo that she will recover. She has had two children, and various rumours are afloat r especting the prisoner's relations with her. ma gi c :FEß6oN DAVIS AND 1118 TRlAL. —Every day we have some fresh rumour about the trial of Jeff. Davis, and the public are beginning to weary of the subject.. If Congress would only pass a resolution to open his prison i doors and let him go whithersoever he would the people j would be perfectly satisfied. All ides of vintlictive ' nem is absurd as well as unpopular. His case had been settled by the result of the rebellion • and the time has goo* by when this great nation should 'wreak its vengeance upon a political criminal. Let the government, than, treat Jeff. Davis as my Uncle Toby treated the By— iopen the door of Fortress Monroe and let him go forth. Barely the world is large enough for Jeff.

This event had been very generally anticipated, owing to the continuous and heavy pressure upon the resources of the establishment during the last few weeks, both here and in the East. The shares of this bank have declined about 14/. to-day, the present quotation being 1/. to 31. per share, with 25/. paid, as against 151. to 18/, the official closing price of yesterday. Con sols have experienced a fresh rise of Ito per cent., and an advanoe is also observable in some of the foreign bonds and British railways. Brazilian scrip and London and North-Western Railway stock are in especial demand. Financial shares are quiet, but a reduction of 15s. has taken place in Credit Foncier and Mobilier. American lines are somewhat lower. _Pus The directors of the Bank of England have not made any alteration to-day in the minimum rate of discount. The demand for money continues mo derate, and transactions have taken place in the best three months' bills at 9} per cent. The rate in the Stock Exchange for advances till to-morrow on English government securities is 5 to 6 per cent. Consols are now quoted 86k to t, ex div., for money, and 86} to g for the new account (July 10). The foreign stock market is firm, although the dealings are limited. Brazilian scrip is in good demand, and has improved 1 per cent. Greek Bonds have also advanced 1., and Spanish Passive and the Committee's Certificates fr. Turkish Bonds of 1862 are now quoted 54 to 56 ; ditto of 1865, 29 to t ; Greek, 11 to t ; Spanish Passive, 19 to ; ditto Certificates, In to 14f ; Italian of 1861, 36} to 2 ; Brazilian scrip, 6k to 5i dia. ; and Mex ican, 17k to 2. ' United States 5-20 Bonds are steady, at 64* to but Erie and Illinois Central Railway shares have declined per cent., being quoted 4.2 to it, and 75 to t respectively. International Financial shares are now quoted 2to 11 dia. ; London Financial, 15 to 14 dia.; General Credit, 3 to 21 dia. ; Imperial Mercantile, 9} to 810 dia. ; Credit Foncier, 21 to 2t dia. ; Overend, Gurney, and Co., 18 to 16 dia. ; and National Discount, et to 7 prem. The demand for investment, from which Con sols and home railway stocks have derived especial benefit, is prompted mainly by a belief that, whatever may be the course of affairs on the Continent, the extraordinarily rapid accu mulation of gold in this country must inevite E_ ably tell upon prices. Including 2'28,000/. sent id in yesterday, the Bank of England has purchased the enormous amount of mu-soul-g-quarkr mil lions in gold since yesterday week, the whole of which ought to appear in the return made up lin to last evening. As the 800,5001. by the City of New York has yet to be dealt with, and as a further sum of 126,0001. has arrived from America, it is probable that, at the lowest computation, three quarters of a million more will go in during the next few days, thus making a total of tiro millions added to the metallic stock. The stoppage of the Agra and Masterman's Bank did not transpire until after the close of business last evening. Some misunderstanding having arisen with re gard to a transaction which has just taken place at Paris in 500,0001. bonds of the private loan of his Highness Ismail Pasha, the Viceroy of Egypt, it may be as well to explain that no new loan has ri e been contracted. The fact is, that of the loan of 2 1 3,387,300/. sterling brought forward in March last, and of which one-half (1,693,6001.) was to be issued in England byjthe Anglo-Egyptian Bank, and the other half in France, through the agency of Messrs. Pastrn Brothers, the public subscribed for only a limited portion, and the bulk of this portion the parties concerned in floating the loan found it necessary themselves to buy, in ail order to support the market. The " Syndicate" of bankers and others by whom the loan had been taken outright, have now found it necessary, in order to meet their engagements, to (pen private subscription lists in Paris and London, at the price of 60 per cent., and at this figure 500,0001. of the loan has, it is understood, been placed. The lowness of this price, especially viewed in con , nexion with the fact that 90 (or 88} after deduct ing allowances) was asked at the public subscrip ii` lion in March, seems to show that the co ntractors must have made a severe loss upon this transaction. About 228,0001. in bar gold was purchased by the Bank yesterday, making a total of no less than 1,254,0001. since the date of the last return. The 800,5001. by the City of New York, from New York, is expected to reach London to day, and to be taken to the Bank during the next few days, there being no inquiry for abroad. The specie from America has consisted latterly of eagles, which are refined and melted into bars as quickly as possible, and then sent into the Bank. The Bremen, from New York, has brought 126,0001. in specie for England. The Swiftsure, from Melbourne, has only 13 ounces on board. The biddings for bills on India took place yester day at the Bankof England. The proportions allotted were—To Calcutta 16,83,000 rs.; to Madras, 75,000 Rs. ; and to Bombay, 5,20,000 re. The minimum price was fixed at is. lld. on Calcutta and Madras, and Is. 110. on Bombay. Tenders at and above the minimum will receive in full. The result is that, owing to the great diminution which has taken place in the demand for the medium of re mittance to India, little more than one half of the amount of bills offered on the present occasion has been sold, although government have fixed their I minimum lower by id. per rupee, or upwards of 24 per cent., than on the last occasion. This is another I important point in favour of our money market. A meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Pete and Betts, the gteat railway contractors, will be held to-morrow. Much impatience is expressed by the share holders and creditors of the Consolidated Bank at the absence of any official statement from the di rectors relative to the position of that undertaking. It is notified that the transfer books of the Ocean Marine Insurance Company will be closed on the 20th and re-opened on the 30th inst., and that the payment of ss. per share by way of interest will be made on the 2nd of July. Many of the railway traffic returns published this week show a decrease compared with the cor responding week of last year, which was the week previous to Whitsuntide. The London and North Western Railway traffic return shows this week a decrease of 1,0451., com pared with the corresponding week of last year; the Great Western a decrease of 3,993/. ; the Mid land a decrease of 6,9191. ; the Great Northern a decrease of 7271. ; the Great Eastern a decrease o 3,696/. ; and the London and South Western a de f crease of 1,2211. The receipts on the Atlantic and Great Western Railway for the second week in May were 18,8121., against 15,6531. in the corresponding period of last year, showing an increase of 3,1591. The receipts of the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada for the week ending the 19th ult. were 23,8741. sterling, being 1,3781. less than in the cor responding week of last year. A call of V. 108. per share is to be paid by the 2nd July on the new ordinary share capital of the Metropolitan Railway Company. The half-yearly meeting of the Canada Company will be held on the 28th inst., " for the purpose of determining on a dividend." A general meeting of the Cry/Kai Palace COM- Pany is called for the 19th inst. 01Th O'CLOCK. is The amount of business in the railway market to-day is rather small, yet the tendency generally is firm. Holders of these securities are not willing ' f r i i to sell just now, owing to the ap proach to of the dividend period.
