MONUAT. -------- The Cesarewitch ie such an important event in the rac ing calendar that its approv:li is anticipate,i with int,rest scarcely Ives than the Twu Dail. and Leger; whilst the tusgn.tuile of its kocuhition throitzliout the eounvy far e .c.reil• that of any other bandies". This year him •• '••; ,nne Ntr w : , Ith• waguiiil has beeu of an aniniatea ir.u.ter, and the number of horses whose names have appeare.l in the daily quotations indicate the perplexing nature of the baudicap, and it has been generally tuna...led to be one of the admirer+ happiest efforts. A peculiar fatality has attended the favourites. Illinkhoolie, when the weights appeared, was established at the haul of the list, and maugained his position with a degree of brumes. until after the Domaine, wilting, when Honesty displaced him, and there memest every probability of the Lot-mentione d holding his position to the fall of the flag, hut wt Saturday the tii.e of opposition set in against the Dakeof Hamilton's horse, mad Bliukhoolie again clahneil the post of honour in the list. The important handicap alluded to,coupled with the hot Middle l'ark Plate, given by the munificence of Mr. Blenkiron, the Clearwell Stakes, and the other inte resting races, tended to give to the meeting under notice a inure than ordinary degree of importance. The number of special train. which arrived in the course of Friday and Saturday gave promise of a brilliant meeting un the heath. The Crest Sworn Railway Company rat' the usual special train of first-class carriages on Sunday afternoon, which commanded :an extensive patronage, and although the lac custumed halt was made at Cambridge there was no .pea: nation, the only attempt being an offer of 6 to 1 on the held. The subscription rooms were opened in the evening, but at no period were there more than a dozen persona present, and attention was occupied with the dis cussion of the week's rich programme and the latest Cesarewitch scratching., which comprised Planet, Thalia, the Maid of !fashion filly, Safety, Stokeley, The Brewer, and the Treachery colt. At the White Hart Armourer was bathed at 10 to 1 several times, and 100 to a/ was accepted about Honesty. Beyond these transactions nothing was done. At midnight rain began to fall, snit aontinued without intermission until nine this morning. Despite the weather the usual New market horse watchers bad their number. considerably angnentcd, and the gallops commanded marked attention. honesty, Julius, &amender, and Success, of the Cesare witch horses gallupped, while Pace, Leonie, sail Lady Co ventry of those engaged in the Middle Park Plate were out. The special and ordinary, trains from London and elsewhere were all heavily laden, and by the time a move was made for the heath the attendance was very large. In front of the rooms some business was done, the princi pal feature of which was the advance of Blinkhoolie, the backer. exhausting all the fives to one, after which 4000 to 1000 was booked, and then nothing over to 1 was obtain. able. 11 to 1 was offered apt Armourer, and found ready takers. Sealskin was in fear request at 12 to 1, whilst 100 to ri was offered each against Honesty and Montgoubert. The racing, which was very meagre, commenced at twenty minutes to one (the order of running as published in the morning papers having been altered at • late boor by the Jockey Club authorities) with the sporting match between Mr.. Stratton and The Star, owners up. At first there was little to choose between the pair for favouritism, but by the time the flag fell 7to 4 was freely laid on Lord Westmorland. The result, however, upset the calculations of the talent, as Mr. Hawksley, who finished in business like style, won easily by three parts of a length. s K~e~n ii y c o~n p did his followers • turn in the next race—the Sweepstakes (over the T.Y.C.) wherein elouchrie. wit h Butler up, was made the favourite,but Sammy defeated his rival somewhat cleverly by &neck. The backers hadanother blow iu the sweepstakes over the T.Y.C., as Inspiration was a great favourite at 11 to 8, tint she could not live with the Duke of Hamilton's filly—Clemence, who made all the running and won in the commonest of canters by three lengths. In the Rectory Stakes the " plungers " were again unlucky, as La Belle Jeanne was beaten by Puff, the admi ral's match horse. The 100/. Plate for 2-year-olds brought out a dozen runners, but the interest in the race was mainly attached to the meeting of Leonie and Suffolk, for whom the race was considered a match. Speculation was not remarkably heavy, but 2 to 1 was laid on Leonie, whilst 100 to 30 was accepted about Suffolk, the otter of 20 to 1 "bar two" failing to attract backers except in eases where the odds were invested to a few sovereigns for fancy. As was anticipated, the final struggle rested between the pair, and Leonie cracking in the last hundred yards Suffolk woo in II canter by half a length. The run ning of Suffolk proves that he is more suited to a down hill course than a hilly finish, having weak hocks. It was refreshing to see the popular colours of Lord Glasgow once more victorious, as the crimson and white unfortu nately is' seldom now seen to the fore. The race referred to was a match between Pieman and a filly by Tom Bow line, and for once the Admiral was worsted at handicap ping. Court Mantle was allowed to walk over the October Prod Ice Stakes. Lord Lyon received the 300 sons. ft from the Young Melbourne colt, and Athena was un opposed for a Sweepstakes over the T.Y.C. Decidedly the must important race of the day, and which was re garded as somewhat of a trial for the Cesarewitch, was the ilindicap Plate over the Cesarewitah Course, for which Hippia,at the close, was the favourite. The Oaks victreas made the running until within a short distance, when she was beaten, and Kenyon had no difficulty what ever in winning with Moleskin. The victory of course bad a good effect upon the market position of Sealskin, and on the first dash of the victory, 7 to 1 was • moment taken, but 8 to 1 was taken in hundreds whenever it could be obtained, but in front of the moms, after the racing bad concluded, this price was still laid. Blink hoolie, although 4 to I was offered when the racing com menced, advanced in favour until 5 to 2 was taken freely in front of the rooms after the conclusion of the sport. The only notable feature in connection with the other com petitors was the retrogression of Lothario, about whom almost any price was offered, 50 to 1 being the nominal figure. There were some large beta on the Derby, for which The Karl, Rosicmoian, Green Sleeve, and The Parson were the medium of some heavy transactions quoted below: MATCH : 100 h ft. Last half of R.M.

BETTING IN LONDON.-MONDAY. Comparatively few members were left in London, and the principal business of the day consisted of " hedging" bets. Blinkhoolie. however, was made the medium of several genuine investments, and was, indeed, backed all over London for so much money that no more than 7 to 2 could be finally obtained. Armourer bad • more healthy look, finding many friends at 9 to L. Romping Girl, Julius, and Sealskin also remained steady. On the other hand Honesty appeared to be clean gone, 25 to 1 being laid and offered, while Lothario occupied • very unsatisfactory position, and was so shifty as to render it impossible to quote his exact price. Among the outsiders Pearl Diver ' L'Escurial, and Success seemed to be the mast fended. For the Middle Park Plate Lady Elizabeth did not appear to be so greatly fancied as formerly, 5 to 1 on the field meeting with no response. Lady Coventry was again freely invested upon. 1200 to 200, and subsequently 500 to 100, being booked, together with teetotal smaller items on the same terms. For the same race Rosicrucian and The Raid were supported at 10 to 1 each. Quotations as follows : society, and, on conviction, subjects the offenders to repay the amount of money improperly applied. and to pay, if the justices think fit, • further sum of money not exceeding AV., together with costa, and in default of such repayments, &c., the justices may order the parties con victed to be imprisoned in the common gaol, Ste., with or without hard labour, for any time not exceeding three months." The registrar immediately communicated with the society as to whether the facts stated were true, and ob tained the following account of the expenses attending the reform demonstration on the 3rd of Dec., 1866, amounting to G:!/. IN. 7.1., which bud been paid out of tho funds of the society contributed far the relief of the members in sickness, &a :—lnsertion of circular to masters in Morning A drerf leer and !lady Telegraph. 11.

Bewley and Matthews, 7s. 6d. ; total, 631. 10s. 3d. Upon the receipt of this statement, the registrar informed the officers that it was his intention to proceed against them, ' under the 18 and 19 Vict., c. 63, a. 24, unless the money was repaid. On the 13th istant the registrar received • letter 'dating that the money withdrawn from the friendly fund of the Farriers' Horseshoe Fund Society for the re form demonstration of the 3rd of December last had been replaced to that fund, and that in future no money will be taken away for trade purposes at all. Under these circumstances the registrar took no further proceedings; but gave notice that if he was furnished with sufficient evidence of any misapplication of the funds, he was ready to take the necessary proceedings to punish the offenders. And it appears to the registrar that such misapplication would be prevented if power were given to any member to proceed under 18 and 19 Viet., a 63, s. 24, instead of such proceeding being confused as at present to the society or the registrar. In December, 1866, the registrar sent out 23,407 forms of annual returns of the general statement of the funds and effects of friendly societies. Only 10,678 returns and annual statements have been received previous to the Ist July, 1867. The 10,678 returns show the number of members in the societies sending them to be 1,672,176, and the amount of their funds to be 6,668,3861.

The information was received on Friday morning, by the arrival of a London detective officer, who had beers sent down specially by Sir Richard Mayne. On his arrival here the detective officer proceeded to the residence of Sergeant Ronaldson, to whom he stated that Sir Richard Mayne had been ap prised that an attack was to be made upon the bar racks, and the arms and ammunition seised. The attack was to be made by a body of Fsnians who were to come from the *oath, and whose leader seemed to be thoroughly informed as to the state of the barrack.. Sergeant Ronaldson at once proceeded with the detective officer to the mayor, and informed him of the intended attack. The mayor called a meeting of the magistrates, and also requested the attendance of Captain M'Bay of the Northumberland Artillery Militia, whoa in command of the staff of the militia which is stationed here ; of the captains of the volunteers of the town ; and of the cap tains of the coastguard end of the gunboat stationed In the river. The mayor explained the object of the meeting, and • discussion took place upon the steps that should be taken to prevent the attack. It was decided that the volunteers should have their arms removed from the barracks and put into their own posses lion ; and this was done on Friday and Satur day night. The arms of the militia, which are very con siderable, have been properly immured, the locks having been taken off the carbines previously. The staff of the militia are on duty all night with loaded Anna. Three large fieldpiece. in the barrack square have been loaded with grape shot, and are so placed as to repel attack from whatever direction it might be made. Hand grenades are also ready to be thrown over the walls of the barracks at any time. The coast-guard officers and the men of the gunboat are also fully prepared (or any emergency, and are keeping • watch day and night. The police, under the direction of Sergeant Ronahlson are on duty all night, and watch strictly the whereab outs of any stranger who may happen to come into the town. —Scotsman. ACCIDENT ON THE SOUTH EASTERN RAILWAY.— The continental moil express train from Dover to London, which la timed to leave Dover at 4.15 a.m., met with an accident yesterday morning about two wiles beyond Pluckley station. The train in question starts from the Admiralty pier at Dover on the arrival of the mail packet, and makes no stoppage on the way to London. Yesterday the train did not leave Dover until nearly half-past four o'clock. It was composed of the engine and tender, goods van, five first-class carriage., a woad-class carriage, mail carriage, and goods van—nine carriage' in all. The average rate of speed by this train is very high, and yesterday it ran through Pluckley station at from 50 to 60 miles an hour. When • short distance from a bridge called New Lane-bridge the second-class carriage left the rails and drew the five carriages behind it off the rail as welL The guards instantly took measures to stop the momentum of the train, and the engine -driver shut off the steam, but the train paned under the NewLsne-bridge, and we.not brought to • standstill until it had passed over • distance of nearly 500 yards from the spot where the carriages first left the rails. The engine and tender, with the van end the two first carriages did not leave the rails, and fortunately the couplings of all the carriages held. Not • passenger, out of about a hundred who were in the train, was injured. The part of lino where the accident occurred is under repair, and labourers were at work last week taking out the old sleepers and replacing them with new. The ballast has been removed, and the sleepers are exposed for a long dis tance. The heavy rain of Sunday night had caused the soil to sink under one or two of the sleepers which had been newly put in, and the road had what is termed " dropped down." The ponderous weight of the engine no doubt displaced the rail at this place in the first in stance, and the immense speed of the train would cause the middle and rearmost carriage to oscillate very con siderably, and of course to leave the rails on meeting with a break anywhere. The carriages, it appears, went off the inner rail, and proceeded with the wheels close to the metals, breaking the iron " chairs " and crushing the ; sleepers. FRIENDLI' SOCIETIES. The report of Mr. Tidd Pratt, registrar of friendly societies in England, for the year 1.66, has just been published. It occupies with the appendix Z. 32 pages and contains a great body of information with respect to the savings banks, loan sods ies, and co-operative societies of England and the continent, as well as full details re spectiug the institutions to which it more directly refers. Wr• nppenri the folic:lain; ezt•acte from the rep-rt : During the year 1866 the registrar has examined and certified the rules of 1,176 friendly societies, and also the alterations of the rules of 1,487 societies ; making a total of 2,663 certificates. Forty-three societies have deposited their roles with the registrar under 18 and 19 Vic. a. 63, a. 44. Notices of dissolution have been received from 130 1 friendly societies, of which number 83 were advertised in the London Gaulle. pursuant to Zi and 24 Vie. c. 58, a. 3. During the year 1866 the sum of 9071. 16s. in the Bank of England has been transferred by the registrar into the names of trustees appointed by friendly societies, in the place of others removed, absent, &c., pursuant to 18 and 19 Vic. c. 63, a. 36. Among the rules in the custody of the registrar are those of the Grinders' Society, held at the Ball, Campo. lane, Sheffield ; this society was enrolled at the quarter sessions in 1805. The first role provides, that if any member of this society, after he bath been six months therein, be afflicted with sickness, or lameness, so as to render him incapable of working, on notice being given to the master, before six o'clock in the evening, be shall re ceive, when be shall have been seven days incapable of working, se. per week for four weeks of his affliction con tinuing so long, but to receive no more than 20s. ; and every member shall pay 3d. each the third meeting night after for the same ; but if any member fall trick or lame, having been one year in the society, and notice being given as above, he shall receive 10a. per week for twelve weeks if necessary, and if his illness still continues be shall then receive 4s. per week so long as he continues en object of such relief. N.B. If any member bath received one or more week s pay, and shall give notice again before be bath been one whole year from under pay, that which he bath received shall be amounted part of the twelve weeks' full pay ; but if any member doth bring any disorder upon himself by any vicious or disorderly way of living, he shall not receive any benefit at all from the society. The notice shall be given in writing to the muter, with their ' name and place of abode, or no notice will be taken. The last rule is, that every member of this society shall endeavour, as well by example as precept, to suppress vice and profaneness , to promote the faith and practice of the religion of Jesus Christ, and improve the peace and happiness of this society to the honour of the town of Sheffield. The registrar is informed that this society ceased to act as a friendly society more than twenty yeah - The first legal provisions for the encouragement and relief of friendly societies will be found in the 33 Geo. 111. c. passed on the 21st June, 1793, which states that, whereas the protection and encouragement of friendly societies in this kingdom, for raising, by voluntary sub scriptions of the members thereof, separate funds, for the mutual relief and maintenance of the said members in sickness, old age, and infirmity, is likely to be attended with very beneficial effects, by promoting the happiness of individuals, and at the same time diinunshing the public burthens, and enacts that any number of persons may form themselves into • society, and raise among themselves, by subscriptions of the several members of every such society, or by voluntary contributions, a stock or fund for the mutual relief and maintenance of the members thereof in old age, sickness, and infirmity, or for the relief of the widows and children of deceased members, and for the several members or such of them as shall be nominated • committee for that purpose, to as semble t og ether and to make such proper and wholesome rules as shall seem meet. In cases of dispute reference was to be made either to justices or to arbitration. When this act was paned the legislature evidently had in view that sort of club, or society, which exists at the present day, and is known under the general term of friendly society." This society is local in its operations; the members (as a rule) know each other, and personally assist in its management ; none of the o ffi cers are paid, except • trifling acknowledgment to the secretary for his services. No agents or collectors are employ ed . The affair is mutual and not speculative. The whole is circum scribed by the limits of the town, or parish, where it is established. Such is the normal friendly society, and 99 out of 100 friendly societies are of this class. After some years this original ides of • friendly society was departed from ; societies were formed and registered under the act for supplying coals to the members ; others for providing relief to poor persons in the winter ; others (such as the Clergy Mutual and the Provident Clerks' Society) were formed for carrying on the business of an insurance company. To meet these alterations of eircurnstenees the legislature provided exceptional legisla sion. Thus the act 16 end 17 Vitt. c. 123, was passed simply with • view to affect • few societies, such as the Clergy Mutual Assurance, the Provideat Clerks, and others, which were, in fact, assurance oompenies and not friendly societies. This act left the main body of friendly societies untouched. The legislature has also pursued the same course of exceptional legislation, in certain cases, in the present act, 18 and 19 Viet. c. 63. The two instances referred to afford conclusive evidence that parliament has made exceptional laws, to meet the case of societies which, in any important degree, depart from the original idea, or model friendly society. The time has arrived now for the discussion of another ques tion, namely, whether the further development of, and departure from, the original idea of • friendly society, in such cases as the Royal Liver, and other similar societies, which furnish death insurances on an extensive scale all over the country, does not call for further exceptional legislation with respect to them ? It is notorious that great hardships are suffered by the persons who join them, that the members are generally poor, that they are spread ell over thekingdom, frequently hundreds of miles from the office of the society; they never participate in the management of the society, and the whole business is managed by a few collectors and a central and irresponsible board, over which the secretary usually reigns supreme; and, frequently being the triunes or treasurer also, not the slightest cheek is, or can be, ob tained over him. To meet the eases of such societies, it is suggested that the precedent of exceptional legis lation already laid down should be adopted by pro visions in any act which may be posed relating to fnendly societies, to apply to societies which grant assurances for • sum at death of 10L, and under, without any other assur ance connected with it. It is also proposed that, as arbi tration has been proved to be • sham and • mockery in many of these societies, all disputes should be referred to justices. Secondly : Agents of such society should be liable to be summoned. Thirdly : If agent of society take money on account of insurance before delivery of policy and copy of rules, to be liable to • penalty of 20s. In these societies, in case of death, it frequently occurs that • dispute is originated as to whether the member was, or was not, within benefit (as it is termed) at the time of his death ' • but as in this dispute on the one side are the society and the secretary, with its large funds and irresponsible manager, and on the other people of the class who literally live " from hand to mouth," it is quite clear that the weaker party generally has to give way, and any idea of obtaining redress by legal means at present eluting is quite out of the question. To meet this evil it is suggested theta clause of the following eharecterbe passed No policy to cease being operative without notice being sent by • registered letter through the post, or a written notice delivered to the insurer, or at his last known place of abode, in the presence of our witness. The policy to be indisputable, except on these terms. Whether them, propositions, or others to the like effect, are adopted or not, the time cannot be far distant when parliament will be compelled, by the enormities of the system of these societies, to regulate them by the only means by which they can be regulated, viz., by exceptional legisla tion. To connect these societies with the friendly society proper in any legislation on the subject will be only to assist in procuring a continuance of those evils which the poor at present suffer in connexion with them, and which are not only a scandal to the character of friendly societies but to the nation at large. It appears to the registrar that it would be highly bene ficial to the working classes if the governmeat muumuus on death granted by the post offices were reduced to 5L or 101. instead of 201., the lowest sum which can now be in sured. An act was passed on the 20th August, 1867, inti "An Act to enable Assignees of Policies of Life Assurance to sue thereon in their own names." The eighth section of which, however, expressly provides, "That it shall not apply to any engagement for payment on death by any fnendly society," and therefore any policy, or engagement for payment on death by a friendly society cannot legally be assigned so as to give any interest therein to the assignee. The registrar has hail numerous cotes of misapplication of the funds of a friendly society brought before him, in several of which the money has been replaced. The fol lowing is one of them :—A society called the Farriers' Horseshoe Fund was established in 1847, and in that year the rules were duly certified ; they were revised in August 1862, and again certified. The society is now held at the Fountain, New-street, Golden-square, and consists, from the report of 1866, of nearly 300 members. The objects of the society, as stated in the rules, are to afford relief to the members when sick, suffering from infirmity, and old age, and also for the burial of the mem bers and their tries, and the tables of contributions and benefits were originally certified by an actuary. It would appear from the annual acoounta that, in addition to a friendly society, it had become a trade society, sr pky meta' were made to members out of work, although the rules contained no provision for such payments. In November, 1866, there was a special general meeting of the society to receive a report with reference to an intended reform demonstration, and it was resolved that the members of this society should join such demonstration. On the 3rd of December the reform demonstration took place, which was attended by several member., and the appearance of the mounted farriers was specially alluded to in 'be newspapers. On the Bth of February last two members of this society called upon the registrar respect ing the misapplication of the funds, which had been ap plied to defray the expenses attending the reform domes titration, and requesting him to take proceedings against the officers under the 73 and 24 of Viet., c. 18, e. 9, which authocises the registrar "to proceed summarily, if say officer, member, or other person misapplies the funds, or wilfully applies any part of the same to purposes other than those expressed or directed in the rules of the MIDDLESEX SESSION& THE IOBBERT OF THE MARQUIS OP HMITHIGII, In the case of John Thomas Bell, who is charged with stealing five rings, of the value of 8001., the property of the Marquis of Hastings, on the application of counsel it was postponed beyond the present sessions, it being stated that the Marquis and Marchioness of Hastings, from pre vious engagements, could not be in attendance during the present sessions. Francis Humphreys, 43, clerk, was indicted for stealing 201. and other rams, amounting altogether to about 1,4001., the moneys of Henry Smith and others, his masters, brewers, at Hammersmith. Mr. Lewis prosecuted : Mr. Collins defended the pri soner. The prosecutors were brewers at Hammersmith, and the prisoner was in their service as collector, and it was his duty . to collect from publicans and enter the amounts he received in a book furnished to him for that purpose. It was also his duty to pay every Friday into the Union Bank all sums received by him, and to bring back the pus-book to the counting-house for the in spection of his employers. There were no entries of several sums received by him from customers amounting to 1.3931. He was in the enjoyment of a salary amounting to 2001., besides an allowance of 501. a year for expenses. On the 12th of September he absented himself, but was traced to Banbury, where he had deposited 6461. 4s. 6d., in the name of Thompson, in the London and County Bank, and when taken into custody he had in his possession about 7001. in money and cheques. Whilst in prison he wrote a letter to the prosecutors asking to be forgiven. In addition to this charge there was a further one of embezzlement to the amount of 2001. The prisoner pleaded guilty. The Assistant-Judge said the crime of embezzlementwas on the increase, and it became the duty of the court to make an example of the prisoner, as there was in this case an absence of temptation. The sentence upon him was that he be kept in penal servitude for five years. THE POLICE COURT& GUILDHALL. Mrs. Frances Prnwiaa wiu placed at the bar on re mand, before Sir Robert W. Carden, charged with threat ening to take the life of Mrs. Cook, her sister-in-law. Mr. Wontner again appeared for the complainant. The prisoner wu the wife of a builder, but had given way to drink to such an extent that Mr. Freeman wee obligtd to get Mr. Cook, tho prisoner's brother, and his wife to come and live in the house with him and try to restrain the prisoner from drink. They were, however, unable to control her, and the result was that a deed of sepa ration was executed, under which he allowed her Its. per week. With that it appeared she indulged in intoxica tion, and while in that into she threatened in letters that she would take the life of her sister-in-law, whom she termed her husband's " wanton." Mr. Wontner said that since she had been in prison she had written a letter to her husband, begging his forgive ness. but saying theist the time she wrote the thre►tening letters she meant to do what she stated. It was there fore neemury that she should be restrained. If her brother would remove her somewhere into the country where she could not get drunk, it would be the beat thing that could be done for her. The brother was the trustee under the deed, and the allowance was ample. The brother stepped forward and said he felt deeply the degrading position his sister was in, but he feared he could not bold control over her. . . iitaL4.;ailea him if he would be bail for her! The brother said decidedly not. Sir R. W. Carden said he was not surprised at it, for wbo would be bail for • drunkard ? The prisoner, who appeared to feel her disgrace keenly, said she would go anywhere or do anything her husband wished. Sir It. W. Carden told her she must find two sureties in 101. to keep the pesos for twelve months. In default of bail the prisoner was taken away in the van. IIARYLEBONE. I Mr. Clarke, the divisional surgeon of the D division, said has had a most painful application to make on behalf of a poor widow and her little boy who were left entirely destitute. Her late husband was hackney carriage atten dant in Great Marylebone-street. He died suddenly from disease of the heart on the 19th ult. They had had five ohildren,andthree of them were accidentally burnt to death some time ago. Their infant died a few months since, leaving them with only the little boy now in attendance. The expenses of the infant's funeral aimed the father to anticipate his pension. His discharge papers gave him a molt excellent character. He had served with great credit for 21 yeah in the Royal Artillery. He served in the Crimean war and through the Indian mutiny. He had • gout' conduct. medal, the Order of the Medjidie, the Crimean medal, with bars for Alma, Inkennan Balaclava, and Sebastopol. Mr. Clarke added that the deceased had been continually under his observation since he had been at this rank, and be had always found him a most exem plary and sober man. The magistrate said it was • most melancholy case, and awarded 21. from the poor-box. WESTMINSTER. Rickard Stratton, a smart, clean-looking youth of about 16, was charged under the following circumstances. Jason Hawes, 188 B, said that at about 1 o'clock on Sunday afternoon he saw the defendant with • blacking box standing near the Star and Garter, Sloane-square. He requested him to go away, and as he refused, he put his hand on his shoulder to remove him, when he " up with his box " and struck him on the leg with it, and he then took him into custody. Mr. Arnold—What offence had he committed ? Policeman—He was obstructing the footway ; he was causing an obstruction just as people were coming from church. _ _ Kr. Arnold—You say he assaulted you! Policeman—l did not charge him with that. Mr. Arnold—Yea have charged him with obstructing you in the execution of your duty. Policeman—Ho wouldn't go away. Mr. Arnold—You appear to have charged him with an offence be did not commit, and to have omitted to charge him with one be did. Defendant denied all obstruction, and said that the policeman threw the blacking•box over his shoulder, and struck himself with it. He was doing no harm when the policeman unjustly seized him and knocked him about, and he told him to take him to the station in preference to ill-using him. Mr. Arnold, to the policeman—Have you any witness Policeman—No. Mr. Arnold—Defendant is discharged.

Shortly before 2 o'clock yesterday the prisoner Groves was placed at the bar. Mr. Warner Sleigh asked that the witnesses who bad not been exnolined should be out of court, a course which be observed he should not adopt in ordinary cases. Upon all the witnesses leiving the court except Inspector Thompson, of the detective force, the *Meer in charge of the coon, who hid been examined on the former occasion, Mr. Warner Sleigh then requested that the inspector alao should be out at court. Inspector Thompson accordingly left the court. Mr. Poland observed that as the learned magistrate was not present at the first examination of the prisoner on this charge, he thought it advisable to re-state the circumstances. He proceeded to give • summary of the facts as proved at the last examination. He observed that when the prisoner was confronted with Dl'Donnell the latter sad the person who shot him was a taller man than the prisoner ; and also the witness Farber said that it was a person taller than the prisoner, and that it was clear the primmer was not identified by either of them. Moreover, he was informed that the third bandsman, Hitching', would not be able to identify the prisoner. It was also fair to say that though an impression had existed in the minds of the police that the bullet which fell from the body of M'Donnell, and with which no doubt the wound was inflicted, would fit the pistol found at the pri soner's lodging*, it had been examined by a gunsmith, who would show conclusively that it would not fit, the ball having five grooves, whereas the pistol bad three. On the other hand, a witness would be called who would show that he was at Mrs. Byrne's about the time when the prisoner left the house, and that' be (the prisoner) was one of two persons who at that time went away in the direction of Vernon-place. The prisoner had stated that be was at that time on his way home from Mrs. Byrne's, and though Vernon-place was not in the direct road, it could hardly be said to be much out of the way. There was no doubt that • most cowardly murder had been committed, and it was certainly desir able that every effort should be made to clear it up by bringing forward all evidence that could be obtained, whether favourable or unfavourable to the prisoner. He apprehended that if he established the facts he had indi cated he should be justified in asking for time for further investigation. At present he could not go into the other charge against the prisoner for assaulting the man Buser. It was clear that the latter had sus Mined an injury, which he said was inflicted by the prisoner with a loaded cane. The surgeon who had examined the wound was out of town, and his evi dence was very material, as the gravity of the would greatly depend on the extent of the inju:4r il l e t would be therefore no injustice to the prisoner to remand him on that charge also. Before proceeding with fresh evidence he now proposed to recall the witnesses examined os the former occasion, in order that Mr. Warner Sleigh might have an opportunity of hearing their evidence read over, and of putting any questions to them if he should think proper to do so. Henry Furber, on his last statement being read over by Mr. Humphries (the second clerk of the court), in answer to Mr. Poland, said they were all in plain clothes. He was in the Turk's Head two or three minutes. They merely asked for a pint of cooper, and were refused. They went into the last compartment. Several persons were there, but he did not know how many. He took no notice of the other compartments. He heard no conversation there. Vernon-place is the first turning on the left, and leads Into Bloomsbury-square. He was on the right-hand side of M'Donnell when they were pushed in Vernon-place. He noticed no one in front or behind. They did not run after anyone. M'Donnell ran across Bloomsbury-square, and then tamed round and said, "1 sun shot." He saw two objects before him, but he turned towards Russell-equate. He thought he saw two objects to the left. He would not swear. He saw two men on his left as he was falling down. He went 200 yards up Southampton-row, and spoke to • cabman, and then immediately went went back to M'Donnell. He should think it was past 1 o'clock. He left other persons in the compartment of the Turk's Head. Had been to the hospital since M'Donnell's death, but had not seen bim. Cross-examined by Mr. W. Sleigh—Before he was shoved he had seen no one at all. He did not know the name of the place where he saw the cabman. Outside Mrs. Byrne's he saw two or three cabs. The shove nearly pushed him over; it knocked him on one side. He was not at Weston's, but not M'Donnell at the Bull and Anchor at a little before 12. He remained there till he went to Mrs. Byrne's. He thought that there were several women and men at the latter place. By Mr. Vaughan—He did not notice, any of the persons in the compartment. He did not see any person C7Ollll the street to Vernon-place. He could not judge what was the size of the person who shoved him. He should say he was taller then himself. One was half a head taller than the other. He thought the shorter man was dark. It was momentary ; he had no time to look. There was • light near. He could swear to one having a long light beard. He could say nothing with regard to the other. Augustus Hitchin said that he was a bandsman in the 2nd LifeCluards, and on Friday night week he was playing at the Lyceum Theatre. He then went to Weston's Music Hall. He got to Weston's at 20 minutes to 12. He met Edwin M'Donnell. He asked me not to go away while he went to the Bull and Anchor. He waited half an hour for him. He then went to the Bull and Anchor. That place is in the main street. He found M'Donnell and Ferber there. They remained till five minutes to one o'clock, and with some of Ferber's friends went towards the Turk's Head. Three of them want into the smallest compoi ment at his request—they were Farber, M'Donnell, and himself. They were refused beer, and there were about seven or eight in the compartment. That, he should think, was without themselves. He asked for a pint of "cooper." and was refused. They ultimately left the house. They had no disturbance or quarrel whatever. He saw some cabs outside. When M'Donnell was shot he went in the cab with him to the hospital. Cross-examined by Mr. W. Sleigh—He knew no one about, neither in the compartment nor anywhere else. From the noise of the talking he should imagine that there were other people in the other compartments. William Bowles—l am • hackney carriage driver, No. 4,992, and lived 10, Claremont-place, Euston-road. On Friday night, Sept. 27, I was at Mrs. Byrne's, Task's Head, in Southampton-row. There was another cabman with me. He had his cab outside. It was about half past 12 when I went into the house, or getting on for one on Saturday morning. We went into the left hand coin pertinent, the one nearest Holborn. There were • number of persons there, and strong words ware used about Fenian'. Mr. Warner Sleigh said that did not apply as evidence against the prisoner, for it was not proved that he was present. Mr. Vaughan did not know as yet bow far it was in tended to apply against the prisoner. He should certainly admit it for the present. The witness was then asked what was said. Mr. Warner Sleigh objected to this also. Nothing that was said could affect the prisoner unless he was present, and had some share in or control over the conve: salon. Mr. Poland said what was said would not be evidence, but the fact of a conversation, and its nature, was evidence. The witness said he could not remember what was said. It was something about Fenianism, and I said that is strong language. I went out, leaving my Mend inside. In Southampton-row I saw a cabman of my acquaintance, named Elston, who asked me to go back and get him a pint of beer, to pay for which he gave me • 3d. pieoe. I got him the beer, and, after he drank it, I took back the pot. When I came out there were five men outside, and one of them—the prisoner-pushed against me. I called him • counter-jumper, and the prisoner said, " You have got a broken nose, I will put it straight for you." I said to the others, " Stand on one side," and when I got room I squared to fight him, which was what an English man ought to do. (A laugh.) This man and one other went away, and the three others came back and wanted to pick a quarrel with me. I said I did not want to quarrel with them, and I got upon Elston's cab, and he drove me away. The three men went away towards Vernon-place, and the other two men went away in the same direction. Elston drove me round to the corner of Southampton street, in Holborn, just by the district post-office. I went to the prison on Tuesday, and saw the prisoner amongst 50 or 60 other persons, and at once identified him. Cross-examined by Mr. Warner Sleigh—l have been • cab driver for about 22 years. The reason I had not my cab with me was that I was out of • situation. I have been out • fortnight to-day. I had been in the employment of Mr. Flint, of Tavistock.mews ; no, of Chenies-mews. Was discharged by him for coming late to work. Previously to that was last in the employment of Mr. Warren, where I left from illness. I was out about • week between leaving Mr. Warren and going to Mr. Flint. I was laid up about a fortnight. Mr. Warner Sleigh—Then you went to work in the very middle of your ? The witness appeared much puzzled by this question, and after a rigid crass-examination he explained that be was ill a fortnight, and then went back to work for a day or two before he finally left, after which he was out • week, and then went to Mr. Flint. He was further cross-examined as to when ho first had any knowledge of the shooting of • man in Bloomsbury, upon which he made several different state ments. First, that he read an account of it in the paper on Saturday morning at breakfast. Then that he was not sure whether he saw it in that paper or not. Then that he first heard of it f rem Sergeant Doris, who oalled upon him on Tuesday, and told him that he was wanted at George-street station, to account for where he was on Saturday morning from half past twelve to one. Then that he had beard nothing till then except what he saw in the paper. Then that Davis said nothing about it. A statement was taken down from him at the station in the presence of Mr. Carforth. Superintendent Serie was also there. Nothing was said about the murder. He believed he read • news. paper containing an account of this transaction while at the station, hut oould not say whether it contained any descrip tion of the prisoner. If it did he must have read it. Saw the notice offering • reward for the apprehension of the murderer, but did not read the description of the suspected persona. The three gentlemen who went up the road had just at the time of the altercation. The witnesses R . r s l e ie a r and Hitching are not two of the three who cams back and tried to quarrel with me. Mr. Edward Collett Shelves hones surgeon at the Uni versity College Hospital, described the wound both from external and wet mortem examination, and also the find ing of the bu lle t, which he handed to Mr. Serie.

WOOL AND WOBSTED.—BeADIPORD, Oar. 7.—The market is not much changed from last week, and trainee. tione in wool are reduced to the lowest point possible. The unsettled mate of the continent muses every one to act with increased caution. Quietness also rules in the wonted yarn market. Spinners find their contract' graduslly expiring without immediate prospect of renewal, and prices nation to droop. In pieces the foreign trade was perhaps hardly ever known to be more quiet than at present, and for all continental markets the business doing is insignificant. The American trade is sluggish, and little is ordered for the home trade. Prices are very irregular. CATTLB.—Lictaeooi, Oar. 7.—The supply of stock was lees than on the previous Monday.
