Mr. Commoner FARNALL presented his weekly report as follows : • "To the Central Executive Relief Committee. " Manchester, 22nd December, 1862. " My Lords and Gentlemen,-A reference to my tabular report for the week ended Saturday the 13th instant will ' show you that there is a decrease in the number of persons receiving Ftirochial relief as compared with • the number so relieved in the previous week of 2,423. This .decease of 2.423 is explained as follows:-Thera is a decrease at Berton-upon-Intel! of 11 ; Blackburn, 292 ; Burnley, 163 ; Bury, 115 ; Chorley, 426 ; the Fylde, 3; Glossop, 70! Hsalingden, 2,998 ; Lancaster, 3 ; Preston, 26 ; Rochdale, 152; Todmorden, 81; Warrington, 94; total, 4,434. There is an increase at Ashton-under-Lyne of 73 ; Bolton, 16 ; Charlton, 255 ; Gersten', 76 ; Leigh, 68; Maceleefield, 11 ; Manchester, 732 ; Prestwich, 197 ; Saddle worth, 93 ; Salim* 320 ; Wigan, 190 ; total, 2,231 ; making • a net decrease of 2,403. I have received no returns from the clerkr of the onions of Clitheroe, Oldham, and Stuck port, for the week ended the 13th inst., and I have there. bee inserted in my tabular report their figures for the week . ended the 6th inert., and I am unable to state whether there has been an increase or &decrease in either of these places. The figures entered for the Fylde represent a decrease of pauper ism as compared with the week ended the 29th ult., and those for Haslingden are also compared with the same week. There were on the 13th inst. 269,580 persons receiving parochial relief in the unions adverted to ; in the CORO. apondiug week of last year 39,482 persons were so relieved : there is, therefore, an increase of 210,098 persons in receipt of parochial relief, or 353.2 per coot The total weekly cost of outdoor relief on the 13th instant was 18,2)81. 4a. Id. _in the corresponding week of last year it was 2,N01. 7s. lid, ; there is, therefore, an incromeof 2,0971. 16e. 2.1.. or 534.0 per cent. The average percentage of pauperism in the population of these unions on the 13th inst. was 13.6 ; in the correspooding week of last year it was 3.0. The average amount of out-door relief per head per week, both io money and kind , in these makes, on the 12th instant, was Is. Sid. ; the lowest was le.fd., and the highest, la. 111 d., at Glossop. Of the 269,580 persons • receiving parochial relief on the 13th instant, 12.522 were in-door paupers. I have return, from 98 local committees, formed for the distribution of charitable aid in the option manufacturing districts ; and I am enabled to state that, at the date of those reports, they were aiding 190,794 ersoos, • who were not mowing parochial relief from the guardians of the poor, and that the weekly expenditure of the 98 com mittees wee 24,9081 . 18s. 4d. The total number of persons, therefore, included in this report. who are either receiv ing parochial relief or who are aided by local committees of charity is 460,374, or 73..2 per cent. on the population. The present total weekly expenditure by the guardians, on 237,0153 outdoor paupers, re 18.6381. 4s. led. ; and by the 98 local committees, on the 190,794 portion aided by them, , is 24.9084 De. 4d. ; making together 43,5471. 2s. 5d., or Is. llfd. to each recipient. The amount of money in the Lads of the treasurers of the above unions on the 13th in stant was 89,631/. le. 3d. ; in the previous week the amount was 55,453/ 19s. 541.-1 am, my lords and gentlemen, your obedient servant, "H. B. FARNALL, Special Commissioner. " P.S. Since writing the above report, I have received a return from the clerk of the Stockport Vino°, which ens blee me to inform you that there was on the 13th instant a decrease in the pauperism of that union of 1,040, so that I have now to report that the total decrease of pauperism as the 13th, as compared with the 6th instant ` was 3,443." Several members of the committee expressed their opinion that the reported diminution is the number of unemployed people this week was only apparent, hod occasioned pro. ,ably by the fact that many cases heretofore relieved by both the guardians and relief committees, sod included in the returns from each, were now being throws entirely upon the care of one of these relieving agoll6oll. They sew no probability of any material Imaging of the pressure of distress for some considerable time to comm.

PltEnt)li.—A slight improvement in the cotton trade has taken plans at Preston during the put week, and the distress generally appears to be slightly subsiding. The relief committee, according to their report issued on Saturday, relieved but week 10.571 eases comprising 40,627 persons, at • cost of upwards of 3,0004 The meu employed by the guardians at the ,tome-yard are 'on 'strike." Recently, owing to a scarcity of stones, they were put upon day work, instead of having to break the stones at In. per toe. A few days ago, however, it was in timated that they must resume the old system of labour. This they refused to do. A deputation afterwards waited upon the guardians, and an arrangement was made be. tweet them ; but the taco are still dissetisti..d, and lay that, if put on piece again this winter, they mama earn 44 much as will keep them, in consequence of the short ages et the days.

Mullioned from yesterday's Express.) Mr. Andarson, Q. 0., and Chancery barristar—l was trait 'Mar on the occasion in question aDd as such president, and had the regulation of the pinosetlings. The learned geatisman than proceeded to give his version of the Imam, which was very much to the same affect as that given by Mr. Rodwell and Sir F. Slade. Hs said no one gave the plaintiff in charge when be repeatedly asked who would charge him, and it WY replied "No one." Mr. Bagshawe said, ' Then I will go to the police-station with him." Wit.. nom kept his eye on Sir F. Slade, and was certain he never touched the plaintiff or swore about the matter. . . Crowerninined by Mr. Collier—Yoe say you kept our eye on Sir Frederick Slade, Were you afraid of hi m" (Laughter,) Mr. .ituderson— Certainly not. He did not give the plain tiff in &ergo. The plaintiff put himself under the protec tion of the police, and left with them. He understood ties matter was to be die:weed at the polies-station. The plain tiff left in company of the police rather than in custody. Mr. Oollier—Do I understand you to say that the plaintiff went with the polies is his oompanioes ? Witnew—A cab was got for him. Mr. Collier—That is no answer to my question. Witness—He did not go with them as his companions, but Y pohoemen.• Mr. Collier—And having him in charge Wham—Having him in keeping aooording to arrange ment. _ _ By the Lord Chief Justice—There was not so much ex citement on the Bth as on the 9th. A change had come over the plaintiff on the 9th. The letter of the 7th November was read aloud, and was essential to an under standing of the evidenoe. The object of the Women was frustrated by the loss of the letters. Mr. Chambers—We dispute it. The Lord Chief Justice—lt was neoesury to set out the docipoeat in 'stenos in the evidence. Mr. Thomas Chambers, Q.O , and Common Serjeant, maid—l am one of the bsnchers, and was present on the 9th July. The book might have been thrown across the table ; but his impression was that it was handed from one bendier to another, and then by the master treasurer to the plaintiff. There was nothing offensive in the way in which it was passed. The tone and manner of the plaintiff was defiant. The learned gentleman then gave his account of the prooeedings, which was similar to that given by the other witnesses for the defence. The Lord Chief Justice—ln your opinion, as a judge con versant with cross-examinations, was the crosa.eiuunination ea the Bth July of the plaintiff condluted in an improper manner? Witness- I think not. I think is was an able cross examination, and I observed that Mr. Hudson in one parti cular part of it changed his manner. I judged from it that be had become irritated, but he made no complaint of it. Mx. Bovill, Q.C., was next called. Be said he was pre- Rot on the Bth of July, but took no part in the examination or crome-examination of the plaintiff. In his opinion there was nothing improper in the manner in which he was cross examined. Mr. Rodwell was polite to him throughout. The matter of the cross-examination might have been mve to any man, because it conveyed an imputation upon the plaintiff's character in connexion with the 'Miller mines, and that matter was contained in the letters to which hi, attention was called. _ _ Mr. Chambers—l must interpose, and protest against Mr. Bova' nuking • speech, or eying his opinion upon the bitten oontsind in the book. -- iii7i;;l=l,:i; not doin g so Mr..Chadibers. The Lord Chief Justice-1 think you had better not give any opinion upon the letters, as we have them before us. Mr. Bovill's examination continued—The plaintiff made no claim to the lettere or the book on that occasion. Every thing seemed satisfactory, and the plaintiff's convenience was consulted as to his appearing again on the following evening, after he had attended Ms dinner party. Mr. Chambers-1 think we have had that for the seventh . . Mr. Bovill said be mentioned it to show the good feeling that existed on both sides. When the plaintiff tune on the following evening and came into the room, he took o ff his hat, but not his Inverness cope. At first his manner was cool and collected as on the previous night. There was nothing offensive in the manner in which the book was passed to the plaintiff. Shortly after the disturbance com menced witness went out of the room and saw Meesn. Perdue and Bye, the porters, and gave them some direc tions. On his return to the chamber he found the plaintiff standing up, speaking and behaving in • violent manner. When be shut the door he stood with his back towards it for a short tioue, and then walked back to his tonal place. He ex pected to see the plaintiff commit an assault upon the heathers. It was frightful to see the state he was in. He said he was prepared if witness would give him in custody and take legal proceedings against him. He appeared to have • particular wish for witness to give him into custody. Mr. Chambers again interposed, and said he would rather Mr. Bovill would not make such observations. Witness sail ha MY not desirous of taking that re sponsibility. In crues.examination, Mr. Collier asked him if he saw Sir F. Slade touch the plaintiff. Mr. Bovill—No ; nor any other bencher. (Laughter.) Mr. Collier—Nor any other man. (Renewed laughter.) Mr. Bovill—l don'tmay that. Mr. Chambers—l wish to correct the information I gave on a previous day. "Any other mar" has, I understand, reference to stump oratory, and not a song. (Loud laughter.) Mr. Bovill—Yea, it is American. It was an imagine. Con of the plaintiff's that he put his back to the door to prevent him leaving. He was afraid the plaintiff would commit personal violence on anyone who might en deavour to prevent him rushing out of the room, and wit ness went out and directed Mr. Perdew and Bye to get the porters and stop anyone who might rub out of the Parlia ment Chamber. He thought he added he might send for one or two policemen, in case they might be required. There was a cry of "Police," in which witness joined. There was a frightful struggle going on between the two porters and Mr. Hudson. They were trying to take the book from him, and he was kicking and fighting to prevent it. The moment Bye came into the room the plaintiff rushed at him, but the former was rather too quick with his arm and put the plaintiff down on the floor. The plaintiff was sometimes on the ground and sometimes on the chair, whilst the porters were endeavouring to hold him. He was unable to state anything about the charge, and under what circumstances the plaintiff was takeu to the police elation. He did not see any renewal of the attest( while the plaintiff was being taken away by the police. If there had been it must have attracted his attention. The further hearing of the case was then adjourned, it being arranged that the case should be proceeded with by consent on Wednesday, in order to finish it should it go over to-morrow (this day), which is the last day of the sitting. SECOND COURT. Sittings at Niai Priva.—(Betors Mr. Justioe Crompton and Common Jury.) THE HOW IN THE JURY BOON. This morning one of the gentlemen who wee locked up on Saturday night &dammed his lordship, stating that he bad read the report in the newspapers of the proceedings that took place in the jury room, and he supposed his lord ship had read it also. He applied to have steps taken to prevent the gentleman complained of from sitting on the jury any more. Upon his entering the room he positively refused to listen to the other jurymen, who endeavoured to convince him that his opinion of the case was wrong, and later in the evening he hurled a chair at another gentleman's head. . . . . His Lordship said that no doubt from what he had been told the gentleman complained of bad acted in a manner that would meet with the disapprobation at his brother jurymen. He, however, did not think the court could interfere in a case where the judge had left before the disturbance took place. Had the court been sitting at the time, probably a juryman acting in such a mincer would have been liable to be charged with contempt of court. As the matter stood he refused to interfere. The juryman then withdrew. NAVAL AND MILITARY. Amtnia.rt, Dsc. 22Appon4Tmr.srs.—Surgeon W. F. Not to the Egmont. Assistant Paymasters F. A. Potuttatay and F. C. Knevitt to the Egmont. Clerk F. L. M.

Se veral resolutions were paired, in which the opinions of the directors were most 'emphatically stated. The resolutions were to the effect that, • having been Under the necessity (acting under legal advice) of ordering the officers of the company to take possession of the refreshment rooms at the Worcester station, improperly retained be Mr. Watton, they deeply regretted that any personal conflict should here aria. ThatMuflictbowever. they state, origisated from Mr. Watton's own act, in attempting with an organised party and on Sunday morning to seise by violence, and in spite of remonstrance and warning, the rooms thus temporarily placed under the protection of the company's servants.

Birming. Item Daily Poet. , • THE L4T3 (MGRS. The shipping in the vicinity of tie mouth of the Thames suffered &evenly from the north west gales which vet In early on Friday and ooatiaued till Bentley with such serious effect upon -many points of the coast. Captain Little, of the General Steam Navigation Complex's steamer (bootees of Latakia, mired at St. Katherine's, reports having encountered the most fearful weather. The gak gradually increased as they approached the English mut. About noon on fitharday, just as the steamer wee on the eve of entering the mouth of the Thames, a vowel called the lady Emma was observed to capsize about mid way between the Elwin Middle and the Martha lightship. The wind wee blowing in fearful ports from the W.N. W. The longboat was blatantly lowered from the steamer and after some difficulty the mew were rescued, the apprentice, who was dragged through the water, being almost drowned. The Counter of Lottedale had scarcely got under weigh spin before another wreck was seen, the schooner Orion, of Shields, bound to &chatter, which had been driven upon the Barrow Sand. The steamer's boat was again promptly lowered, and this second crew was preserved. ,ain Little alas reports having obtained a barge inside the Stink Channel, and eke must have beaten over the seed to have got there. It is feared that the worst his happened to her. Two other mails are reported to have been lost on the Barrow. in the course of Sunday morn ing, the Gipsy of Blakener, and th e Eliza &Woo, the Drew of which , it is hoped, were reamed by some out weal-bound steamer. The &boar Bray, of hoodoo, was also lost nem the Moues. She was carried over the sand, having been driven from her two anchors and foundered. it is stated that the crew have been saved. The small craft have suffered considerably. LIVERPOOL, Duo. 7f4. Rumours were current here yEeterday and to-day that the Anglo•Sazon, which sailed hence for Portland on Tuesday last, had bees lost on her peseage to Londonderry. The tel beesbetweeg_ Belfast and Londonderry hav ing been blown down, no information could be obtained from the latter plaoe until this afternoon, when intelligenos was received that the Auglo.P.azon safely arrived at Montle at two p.m. yesterday, after a very stormy passage of three days, and proceeded for Portland. GREAT YARMOUTH, ono. 72. The fury of the gale exhausted itself yesterday afternoon, the wind veering round from north-west to north-north-east. As the tide fell the SI& beams km r ough and the surf less heavy on the beach. Inland, the tides yesterday rose so high in the river Yare, which falls into the sea at Yarmouth, that the marshes between Norwich and Yarmouth were covered with vast sheets of water. This morning the floods have somewhat abated, but a large extent of land is still under water. From the same ewes. the tide in the Waveney and at Chilton Broad, near Lowes toft, were extremely high, and the waters of the Broad forced their way over the Lowestoft branch of the Great Eastern Railway, so that the traffic was compulsorily sue and passengers bad to be conveyed by omnibus to rar d mlatb, and from that point to their various destina tion& Every effort is being made to restore the traffic, a large staff of men having been sent down for the purpose, bat it will probably be impracticable to resume the usual movement until this evening or to-morrow. KING'S LYNN, Mormsr. The gales and the high tides have had a conside rable effect upon the banks, which in this neighbourhood protect so great an extent of territory from the sea. In addition to the Torrington Marsh hank and the Wolverton bank mentioned yesterday as being damaged, the bank of the River Nar, a tributary of the Ouse, gave way about two miles from its and flooded about a hundred acres.' The tide in the Ouse on Sunday morning was a twenty-three feet tide, and its effects were felt all up the country, the water being level with the banks for a long distance. At Downham.bridge the water over flowed and washed up part of the floor of the bridge. At Stow•bidge the water also went over, and at about half a mile below Stow-bridge the bank gays way to the extent of about eight yards, and from 50 to 100 acres were flooded. The breach was however repaired before the evening's tide. At the well-known Syphon dam, in the Middle Level river, the water rose over the syphooa and darn. The top of the dam was "wedged" and the water so kept back, and on Monday all the syphons were at work again. Mr. Pap's dam, at the entrance to the Marshland Fen drain, had the break part of it carried away. The Torrington Marsh bank has been repaired by great exertions, a large number of men being set to work, and as the wind has quite abated and the tides are falling, the danger is over for the present. A brig has got upon one of the sands in the Lyon Channel, end as it will require an 18-feet tide to float her her con dition is not very promising. There have been numerous small casualties in Lynn harbour, ships lasing their anchors, bats, and the like. The Huostanton Railway, it is stated, is deer again. HAUXLEY, NORTHUMBERLAND, MONDAY Most?. Yesterday morning (writes Mr. E. Whitfield, of Amble), during a fearful gale from the N.N.E., and a very heavy sea, the schooner Little Aegis, of Berwick. from Bangor to Berwick, with slates, came ashore off Hanley. The lifeboat of the National Lifeboat institution was imme diately launched, and proceeded to the rescue of the crew. Owing to the terrific force of the wind and sea, the lifeboat had to encounter unusual difficulties in reaching the shipwrecked crew of four men. However, they were res cued and safely brought on ahore by the lifeboat. Shortly afterwards the vessel went to pieces. The fishermen acted nobly on the occasion, and the lifeboat behaved admirably, as she always does. SCARBOROUGH, MOZDAT Nicer. This morning a schooner (name unknown) was seen in a critical position off Scarborough during a heavy gale from the N. The National Institution's :ifeboat was at once manned and despatched to her assistance. The schooner, however, managed, owing to a change of wind, aided by the set of • ticks, to get off to sea, and was last men running for Burlington Bay. Nearly all her sails were blown out of the bolt ropes, and she burnt two lights before daybreak. On Sunday afternoon, while watching the *choosier Cale stone, whose crew were afterwards saved by the rocket apparatus, one of the crew of the lifeboat was knocked out of her, but was soon got in again. The crew expressed great oLafidence in the boat. HOLYHEAD, DEC. 21. "It has been blowing," writes Captain Priest, R.N., " • heavy gale here from N.N. W. At day ht on the 20th instant the brigantine Effort, of I.iverpoo , was discovered 'on the rocks under Penrhes Point. The lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution stationed at Holyhead was in stantly manned and despatched to her assistance • but on reaching the wreck it was discovered that t he crew had abandoned her. It was afterwards found that the vessel had parted both chains while riding far out in the outer roads, end the crew then took to their boat, which was soon swamped, and all hands save one bad unhappily perished. The remaining man was brought safely on shore by the lifeboat. Had the vessel's crew remained on board, the lifeboat would have most probably saved them. The vessel began to break up soon after the lifeboat returned to the shore, and is now in pieces. Agam, on Saturday afternoon, the barque Highland Brigade, of Whitehaven, anchored off the mouth of the Old Harbour, and afterwards drifted and took the ground, which she struck heavily. The captain, thinking his ves sel in great dauger ' signalled for the lifeboat, which went off and landed the personal baggage of the crew, and lay by the ship until she had floated, and been taken in tow by a steam-tug. The lifeboat behaved well on both oocaaiooa, in a very heavy am and broken water." THURSO, SATURDAY NIGHT. The schooner Sisters, of Wick, whose crew the lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution providentially saved yesterday, parted from her anchors this afternooo, and has become a total wreak. If the crew had not been rescued by the lifeboat, it is probable that the whole of these would have peria►ed, for the storm and sea have very much increased, and have raged with much fury during the past 48 hours. EXTENSIVE Flu AT A SHIPPING-YARD IN LIVER TOOL. --&xon after six o'clock yesterday morning • fire was discovered in the extaiudve shipbuilding yard of Mown. Cato, Miller, and Co., at Brunswick Dock, Liverpool. An i alarm was mmediately given, and hose and reels from the Brunswick-dock fire station and the West of England fire-engine were speedily in attendance, aa were also hose and men from the Seel-street station. The fire bad broken out in the store abed connected with the mast and spar makers' shop, and it contained a large quan tity of materials of an exceedingly combustible nature. These consisted chiefly of a number of barrels of pitch, of resin, and an iron tank containing oil of naphtha, besides a considerable quantity of dry timber. Above the sheds were piles of timber set up to dry, and a bar amount of timber of various kinds was , piled in proximity to the seat of fire. As may be readily conjectured, the conflagration raged with great faireenaia, and in an incredibly short time the interior of the shed was completely filled with flames of intense heat, which, burst : ing through the roof, seized on the piles of dry timber on the top, and caused an extensive and alarming blaze, which illuminated the sky and was seen from • great distance. I A detachment of men were despatched from her Ma ' jesty's ship Hastings, and they arrived at the scene of the fire soon after it bad broken out, and they imme diately joined the fire brigade in their efforts to extinguish the flames and to save property. Fortunately there wag a good supply of water and by the combined efforts of the firemen and the " tan," the fire was coollued almost ea tirely to the shed in which it broke out, and there it was subdued in about an hour and • half after it had been dis covered, not however before a large amount of property • had been destroyed. The full amount of damage done can not be as yet ascertained, but it is considered that about 1,2001. in value of property has been destroys.).

This was an action brought against the defendant, an attorney practising in the City, for negligence. The defend ant pleaded several pleas, wherein he denied the allegations contained in the declaration. . . Mr. Serjeant Pigott and Mr. Philbnck were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Serjeant Tozer for the defendant. It appeared that the plaintiff had engaged the defendant to bring an action of ejectment against a person of the name of Patching for the purpose of obtaining possession of a piece of land at Willesden, whereas he brought an action against one of Patching's tenanta, and lost posses sion of the land, as well as putting the plaintiff to UllOO - expense. No evidence was called for the defendant. and The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—the dam ages to be settled out of court. SHERIFFS' COURT.—Dr.c. 22. (Before Mr. Herr.) MUMBLER S.

There has sot bean a winter amines in this county for a great many years, end the present gaol calendar would hardly seem to wariest such a course being taken, as there are only about 20 prisoners for trial, and the greater' part of the charges are merely sessions oases. Business will be proceeded with this (Tuesday) morning, at ten o'clock. THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION.HOIIIIL .... Two respectably-dressed young men, satires of Poland, describing themselves as brothers and who gave their names Wes Herman after and Marcus Slitter, were brought before the Lord Mayor, in custody of Sergeant Brett, to undergo • prelimiaary examination upon a charge of forging Polish coupons, and with having 50 forged coupons in their pos session. Mr. Peachy, of the firm of Everson, Lisle, and Peachy, attended to prosecute ; and Mr. Wuotner, inn., of 26, Buck lersbnry, appeared on behalf of the prat:niers. Mr. Peachy said he should merely call sufficient evidence to warrant • remand until he should be in a position to go more fully into the case. George Scott, detective, said he saw the two prisoners, on Thursday last, in the Minnie., and from information he had received he watched than. He saw Marcus go into the shop of Messrs. Field and Tear, stationers, in the Minority, and after remaining there a short time he came out and joined the other prisoner, and they both want into the shop, and he saw them lookiag at a lithographic stone. After a few minutes they came out together, and went into Aldgate. On Saturday morning, at about half- , past 11, he was again in the Minorite', and saw the two prisoners. Manus left Herman, who waited in a doorway, and went into Messrs. Field's, and after a short time he mine out and joined the other, and they both went away together. He saw them again on Saturday afternoon at about live o'clock. Marcus went into Meson Field's shop, and be went in also and heard him ask if those tickets were done. He had previously had a communication with Mr. Tear, abd saw that gentleman hand the prisoner Marcus some papers, which he produced, and which be afterwards learnt purported to be Polish coupons. The pri soner left the shop, he following, and be saw him join the other prisoner, Herman. They walked to a shop window where there was a strong gaslight, and Marcus gave the ' pieces of paper to the other prisoner, who was in the act of examining them when he went up and took them out of his band. He asked him what he had got and where he got them from, and he said something which he could not understand. He turned to Marcus and asked him what they were, and he said he knew nothing about them. He told him to ask the other prisoner, who could not speak English, where he got them from, and he said something to him, and then said be with them from a printer. Sergeant Brett was with them at the time, and he told the prisoners they were police offioeri, and should take them into custody for leggin Polish coupons. The prisoner Marcus said he Imw nothing about them, and he told him they were two fore • goers, and were both looking at the same papers, and eked him bow long he had known the other prisoner. He said he had known him about a week. He asked what their names were. and Marco" said the other prisoner's name was Slitter and his was Kronofski. They both gave a correct address. On the road to the station, Brett, who was on Ant with the prisoner Herman, turned round and said, " Why, this is your brother." He (Scott) said that can't be, for he says his name is Krooofski. Marcus then said. "That is the name Igoby in England. We are brothers." Adolphus Hensel, agent to the Polish Bank, said the document produced by the officer purported to be coupons of the Polish Laodowners' Amoctation Mortgage Bonds. They were recognised by the Bank of Prussia, and at the present time were passed as coin among men of business. They were worth about 3 silver roubles or 9s. faL each. The ones produced were, to the beet of his belief, however, forged. Upon this evidence the prisoners were remanded. BOW-STREET. A gentleman, whose voice and features pre conclusive testimony to his Hibernian origin, applied to Mr. Currie, under the following circumstance*: "Sir," said the applicant, "I went on Saturday to the Poet-office 338, Strand, kept by a most respectable trades man, Mr. Jones, a jeweller, to buy eome postage stamps, and to put one on a letter and post it. I had with me a brown paper parcel containing some valuable deeds. Well, sir, I left this parcel there." kr. Conie—Did you leave it in charge of the postmaster or his servants? Applicant—No, sir. I left it by mistake. I laid the parcel on the chair while I put the stamp on the letter, and when 1 was going away I forgot all about the parcel. Now, the deed is of great value to me, but being registered it is not worth a been farthing to any other person. 'Mr. Cowie—Why don't you advertise? Applicant—Bo I did. I offered 21. reward to any one who will send it to my address. Bat, sure, they won't see the advertisement, and without knowing about the reward they won't take the trouble to send it. Mr. Come—Have you consulted your solicitor ? Applicant—No. Mr. Currie—Then you had better. I don't see what I can do for you. What is your appitcution to me! Applicant—l thought that Mr. Jones being a respectable tradesman, a jewellel-, besides being poatmester, circum stances which , tend to create confidence on the part of the public, that any one leaving property there would be enabled to mike hint rerponsible. fr. Currie—Responsible! Why, twenty persons may have been in and out. If you had left it in bis care be would be responsible ; but it would be very bard on a tradesman if he were to be called to account for property which parties leave in his shop by their own negligence. I hope whoever finds it may return it for the sake of the reward, bat I am sorry to say Ices give you no assistance. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Mr. Hayward, of Great Portland-street, vendor of photo- graphs, was summoned for seUiog a spurious copy of a re gistered photograph of which Messrs. Southwell Brothers were the owners. Mr. Greenwood, for the prosecution, said as this was the first case under the Amended Copyright Act, he would may • few words in explanation of the present proceedings. Formerly there was no protection for photographs, but by the act 25 and 26 Vic., Rec. 6, a penalty not exceeding 1 was to be imposed on any one who copied sod sold a photo graph idter it had been drily registered by the owner. The plaintiffs bed made • photograph of Miss Lydia Thompsos, the actreu, and they had registered this photograph. The defendant had sold a spurious copy of the photograph, and this brought himself within the operation of the act. The defendant said he had no ides the portrait was a copyright picture. He knew nothing about the purchase or the sale of the portrait. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Do you mean to say that you do not know bow the portrait came into your stock Defendant—No ;it was bought among other things. I believe the act of parliament requires that the sale should have been made " knowingly " on the part of a defendant that the picture was copyright. Mr. Tyrwhitt having read the dense of the act, mid the clause mentioned nothing about " knowingly.• The simple act of making soak was sufficient. The law was trenchant on this subject. The defendant said when it was known that the photo graph was a copy, Mrs. Hayward offered to give up all the copies, about four in number, that remained in stock. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the case was one of great importance to photographists. It had been clearly proved, but as the plaintiff did not press the case, he should reduce the penalty to 10s. and costs. A similar cue was then gone into against Mr. Millard, of lloreetetreet, Messrs. Southwell being the plaintiffs, and the magistrate, after hearing the evidence, fined the de fendant 40e. LAMBETH. Mr. Day, a medical vas at - CZ; in Look's-fields, Wal worth, applied to Mr. Elliott for his advice and wrist once tinder ceenmstaisces, as he considered them, of peculiar hardship. Mr. Day maid he brought with him • pence who had the misfortune of committing a crime, for which he had been transported, but owing to his good °midget he obtained • ticket of leave, and returned home three years ago. Boos after he obtained • situation at a silk merest's, where he conducted himself with the strictest propriety and hapset', but in consequence of information having remised his em ployer from the police he was discharged. He obtained • second situation ou the South Eastern Hallway, when his conduct was unexceptionable, but from similar la formation from the polio, he was again discharged. Aware of the perfect determination of the young seas to redeem his former character, ad thinking it extremely bard that be should be preveeted from dohs; so, be (Hr. Ds) called on the railway authorities, and, is reply to his inquiries, they admitted that while employed there they had not the slightest fault to fled with him, and that the only cause for their discharging the maa was the in formation that had been given of his beim a ticket-of-leave man. He asked them the earns of the pence or parties who had given the inhematioss, but they refired to give it, and thus, it appeared, he wu to be hunted clown v perfect impunity. Mr. Elliott said the matter was one in which Le cou:.l not interfere, as it wu more properly within the Noviuce of Sir Richard Mayne. At the same time be considered it but fair on the part of the railway authorities to state the mime of the *rentable who had given them the info,. elation. Inspector Dann, who wee in the court ow other busitur.,, said it was quite contrary t o th e express direction of th t commissioners that any officer of police should take oot:ce of ticket of-leave men in employment, and be should ver, much doubt whether any officer had done so. Mr. Day maid there could be no doubt whatever &boat it ; and Mr. Elliott repeated that the matter was owe io which be could not interfere, but recommended an application Sir Richard Mayne. _THAMES.
