SINGULAR AM) PAINFUL CARR. ....._. --- George Francis Dap, of Norris-street, Horton, answered • summons, requiring him to show cause why he should not contribute to the support of • little boy, horn to him by Caroline Hood, of 12, Clarence-terrace, Haggerstone. The first hearing of this case was on the 21st of June lost, before Mr. Ellison, and unavoidable circumstances compelled its frequent adjournment. Complainant swore that she was a married woman, that ten years ago last December her husband left her with four children, and that she had not seen or heard anything of him from that period—that she had since peen birth to two children, of which defendant was the father, she having commenced living with him about a twelvemonth after her huahand's desertion, passing by the same of Caroline Day, and, together with her children, being maintained by him. In June, 1863, however, they separated, and she now sought to affiliate the last child kern 31s t July, 1860. Mr. Ricketts, for the defendant, contended that com plainant, being a married woman, could not maintain a cue of this kind, and pleaded not liable, and called one George Syrtis, who swore that on the occasion of the separation he obtained from defendant 61. for the com- Plebunt, which he gave to her apparently as a parting gift. . _ A Mci. Taylor, on the other band, said that although sub rank bad been received it was in fact but the moiety c 4 a sum Mrs. Hood had saved by her exertions as • needlewoman, in which work she excelled. At one of these hearings a very respectably-dressed ytth,about 17 years of age, came into court with the child for whose affiliation an order was being sought, and with tom in his eyes stated that since the previous adjourn. meat his moth er Mrs. Hood, had died of cholera—she on har . death-bedinformed him that his right name was William Charles " Hood " and not " Day, •as up to that moment be always had deemed it ; he had always called TAY his father, and fully believed that Mr. Hood was dead, his mother's death had of course greatly distressed him, sad the child in ques ti on was thrown entirely on his heads ; he had supported the little fellow since her demise, but his circumstances prevented his longer doing so. Mr. Cooke, in dealing with the cue, said—l very much regret that I cannot make the order sought for. Beyond say doubt you are the father of the child. It is most un fortunate that the mother's sad death should have occurred in the interim of taking out this summon and that of the order being granted, for bad it been made during her lifetime you would assuredly have bad to pay, and even now on all principles of justice and humanity you ought to support the child. Defendant said that he was very sorry the matter had been brought into court, and that he would give a shilling yr two when he could, and left the court [Wowed by the Youth with his young charge. As ArrscnoNkra Nircs.—The wife of s mer chant was walking a few days since in the Rue du F aubourg-Saint-Antoine when a young girl about 13 threw bersaH on her neck, exclaiming, " Oh, my dear aunt !" The lady released herself from the embrace, telling the child that she was mistaken. "Ah !" said the girl. in a sorrowful tone, looking attentively at the lady, " I see I haft made a mistake ! and she went away as if to hide her confusion. Not long after the lady missed her purse, and all at once the idea struck her that the child might have taken it. She accordingly returned, and after eon 'Mashie search discovered the child in a wine-shop with her father and mother. They were all arrested, arid the Parse was found on the mother.-oaZipaini.

Phillips, a county magistrate, and chairman of one of the union committees appointed to carry out the regulations made by the local authority (the Court of Quarter Sessions), was charged with having re moved five top sheep upon a certain highway a greater dis tance than 500 yards, contrary to the provisions of the orders of the Privy Council, whereby he had incurred a penalty not exceeding 51. for each of the said animal,. It appeared that the sheep in question were purchased at Cambridge on Saturday and removed to the Bury station on Monday with a proper license, but on reach ing Bury it was found that, according to the List Order of Council, they could not be removed to Mr. Phillips's pre mises (a distance of about three miles) until they had re mained at Bury 2$ days. The defendant admitted that he had contravened the law, but pleaded in extenuation that the sheep were valuable animals, that they were likely to suffer by being detained 2) days at Bury, and he thought it better to take his chance of detection and penalty rather than run the risk of losing the sheep through want of proper care. The magistrates and all concerned expressed as opinion that the last Order of Council was unnecessarily stringent, but they had no alternative but to carry out the law, and they therefore fined the defendant 10/. and costs, which he at once paid. EXTRAORDINARY ESCAPE FROM PRISON.—An old man, named Thomas Owen, upwards of 70 years of age, made his escape from Welnhpool police-station under the following circumstances. Owen had been confined in his cell for some time pending his examination before the magistrates on a criminal charge, and the officer, pitying him from his great age, let him out into the prison yard for the purpose of getting a little exercise. On going to look after his prisoner in the course of an hour the officer found, to his consternation, that the yard . was tenantless. There was very little difficulty in tracing the means by which the old man had effected his escape. The yard is sur rounded by a wall 20ft. high, except where the cell stands, the roof of which is only 14ft. high. Owen, it appeared, had taken the seat out of the corridor and placed it against the wall of the cell. He then tore a large nail out of the lid of the water-closet, and standing on the seat hat driven the nail into the wall as high as he could reach. Holding on to this nail, he had next scrambled on to the ledge of the cell window and thence on to the roof. Having gained the roof he was seen by a servant girl in the adjoining house coolly to walk along it to the back, and drop into her master's garden, the girl giving no alarm as she thought it was some man employed in repairing the roof of the cell. Owen got clear away out of the town, and as yet no clue has been gained to his hiding-place. Itzezivarce or SroLrm Comm.-1n consequence of the recent extensive plunder of cotton from warenouses, in connection with fires, he., in Liverpool detective officer Lerma and Smith have paid partiatilir attention to this subject, and have not only succeeded in arresting the actual plunderers, but also several persons who were In the habit of receiving the 'toles cotton. A number of eases have lately come before the Recorder, who deemed it his duty, where the charges were clearly proved, to sen tence the offenders to long terms of penal servitude, and this circumstance has caused quite a panic amongst tie receivers of stolen cotton, who, it may be observed, are somewhat numerous in L i verpool . The result has been that during the last week no Ism than three or four noto rious receivers have abruptly loft Liverpool for America, and within the part twelve months the officers above-men tioned have convicted or banished from the town upwards ' of twenty receivers of stolen property—chiefly cotton. One of the wealthiest of these deader, left the Mersey on Wed nesday last for America, as he had heard that he was ". wanted " by the polios. fiXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 25, 1866.

Lnrd Alfred Churchill, formerly the member for Woodstock, is a candidate for Brecknock, in the liberal interest. ..... It has been generally understood, says th© Dub- Ii Erining Mail, that the vacancy in the office of the Master of the Rolls would be filled up by the appointment of one of the judges of the superior courts, and that Mr. George would be appointed to the vacancy on the common law bench. It has been also stated that Baron Hughes may be the judge selected to become Master of the Rolls. Certainly no lawyer has been identified with that court to the extent that Baron Hughes was when a practising bar rister ; and the appointment could not but give satisfaction to both branches of the legal profession. The representative prelates for Ireland (says the Dublin Errning Mail) in the next wagon of parliament are, nocoriling to their rotation, the Archbishop of Dublin and Bishops of Down, theory, and Cork. Mr. Eyre, the ex-governor of Jamaica, has re ceived invitations to banquets at Bath, Chippenham, and Cambridge. We (Army craft Nary Gazett,) are asked in more than one quarter to bring to public notice the serious delay that is taking place in the transfer of the supernumerary captains from regiments at home to the vacancies that have been caused in regiments abroad through officers having taken unattached. promotion. Until these tranefers take place, not only is promotion in regiments at home entirely stopped, and officers who want to sell have only the alternative of taking the bare regulation price of thew commissions from government, but some are unable to find anyone weak-minded enough to exchange until all chance of transfer is removed. Whatever is about to be done ought to be done at once. These changes are in themselves prod active of inconvenience enough without the additional and avoidable one of delay. In addition to providing the finest fleet of tran sports hitherto built for the conveyance of troops, it is in tended, says the Arley and Navy Gazette, to erect a com modious hospital at Sues for the reception of any invalid soldiers who might require rest and medical treatment after the passage from India and before undertaking the run across the desert ; and if, on arriving at Alexandria, soy man should be foaled too ill to embark immediately, arrangements have already been concluded with the au thorities of a foreign hospital by which the doors of their establishment will be thrown open for the reception of our sick people. The Arms and Nary Gazette says it has good reason to believe that Colonel Willurdo ' C. 8., late Inspector - General of Volunteers, will su cceed Major- General the Hon. Ale:soder 3onlon, C. 8., in the ooze mend of the 2nd Infantry Brigade of the Dublin divides, upon the expiration of that officer's period of staff serriee next mos*. -^ - CRYSTAL Peirce. —A farce by the company of the Strand Theatre will be performed this attenteca.

The dealings in public securities to-day are not vary numerous, and prices present few variations. The tendency generally, however, is rather favour able. The funds have impruved 1 per cent., and' some of the British railway stocks to 1. Baking shares are also firm, but foreign bonds are inactive. There is little business in the discount market, and choice bills are taken at 1 per cent. below the Bank minimum. The supply of money is consider ably in excess of actual requirements. Consols are now quoted 881 to for motley, and 881 to 89 for the account (September 6). The foreign stock market is quiet, and the only changes in the speculative descriptions are a rise of 1 per cent. in Greek, and a reduction of 1 in Turkish of 1865. Turkish Bonds of 1862 are quoted 50 to 51 ; ditto of 1865, 251 to 1 ; Greek, 12 to / ; Spanish Passive, 20 to ; ditto Certi ficates, 141 to / Italian of 1861, 521 to 53 ; Brazilian scrip, 21 to 21 dis. ; and Mexican, 161 to 1. United States 5-20 Bonds are per cent. worse, at 701 to it ; but Illinois Central shares have ad vanced I—viz., to 77i to 78. Erie are unchanged, at 44i to 45. Anglo-American Telegraph and Atlantic Tele graph shares are rather lower at IN to lit and 31 to 1 respectively. International Financial shares are quoted 1i to 1i die. ; London Financial, 13* to 12* die. ; general Credit, 2; to 1 ; dis. ; Credit Foncier, n to 31 dis. ; and National Discount, 81 to A prem. _ _ _ Two o'CLocx. Consols are still quoted 881 to / for money, and 88i to 89 for the account. About 22,0001. in gold was sent into the Bank yesterday, while 73,000/.' in American eagles was withdrawn for shipment to-day to New York, and it is possible that some further moderate amounts may follow. As an exchange operation these ship ments afford no profit. They arise, however, from payments for 5-20 Bonds, the demand for these securities, simultaneously with the opening of the Atlantic Telegraph, admitting of some profitable arbitrage transactions between the two countries. The failure is announced of Messrs. Walley and Co., cotton manufacturers, of Blackburn, but the amount of their liabilities has not been ascer tained. The advioes from Birmingham announce the failure of Messrs. Woolf and Co. fire-proof safe and iron-bedstead makers. The following circular has been sent to the creditors : Midland Works, Moseley-street, Birmingham, Au gust, 1.806.—1 t has become our painful duty to inform you that in consequence of several failures, in which we are heavily involved, together with the depressed state of trine, we are compelled to suspend payment for the pre sent, and we solicit your forbearance until we can lay before you a statement of our affairs.—We are, yours obediently,THoB. Woor.r and Co. It is announced that the whole of the 1,000,003/. of East Indian Railway Five per Cent. Deben tures recently offered have been subscribed for. At Paris and Hamburg the rate of discount in the open market is 3 per cent. ; Turin and Amsterdam, 6 ; Frankfort and Brussels, 3. ; Vienna, 5 ;Berlin, 4 ; and St. Petersburg, 5i per cent. In the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon the rates on Holland were rather less firm. No change occurred as regards France. The quotations on Austria are higher, showing a fresh depreciation in the currency of that empire. Subjoined is our usual list : Amsterdam, 8 months, 12.03 to 12.1 ; ditto, short, 11.18 to 11.19; Rotterdam, 3 months, 12.01 to 12.1 ; Antwerp, 3 months, 25.573 to 25.623 ; Brnssels, 3 months, 25.573 to 25.621; Hamburg and Altona, 3 months, 13.10 to 13.10 i ; Berlin, Cologne, ke., 3 months. 6.1$ to 6.29 ; St. Peterslmirg, 3 months, 28} to 2$ ; Paris, short, 25.23 to 2.5.35 ; ditto, 3 months. 23.473 to 25.55 •, Mar seilles, 3 months, 25.473 to 23.55 ; Frankfort-on-the-Mine, 3 months, 1201 to 121 ; Vienna, 3 months, 13.33 to 13.50; Trieste, 3 months, 13.35 to 13.5 C; Madrid, 3 months, 443 to 44 ; Santander, 3 months, 45 to 443 ; Cadiz, 3 months, 46 to 453 ; Seville, 3 months, 46} to 46 ; Malaga, 3 months, 46 to 451 ; Valencia, 3 months, 461 to 46 ; Bar celona, 3 months, 48 to 471 ' • Lillis°, 3 months, 46 to 45 ; Saragossa, 3 months, 451 to 45 . • Leghorn, 3 months, 27.85 to 27.9 5 ; Genoa, months, 27.8 i to 27.95 ; Naplees, 3 months, 27.85 to 27.93 ; Palermo, 3 months, 27.85 to 27.95; Messina, 3 months, 27.85 to 21.95 ; Lisbon, 90 days' date, 5111 to 51* ; Oporto, 90 days' date, 5l to 511. - - Mr. C. F. Kemp and Mr. H. Chatteris, liqui dators of the English Juint Stock Bank (Limited), have intimated to the creditors that they have been prevented by legal difficulties from paying so early a dividend as had been contemplated, but they will commence a first distribution of Bs. in the pound in the week beginning the 10th Sep tember. A meeting of shareholders in the Contract Cor poration (Limited) will be held at the Guildhall Coffee-house on the 29th inst., "to consider the expediency of forming a league for mutual defence and protection." The prospectus has been issued of the United Kingdom Patent Fuel Company, with a capital of 100,0001., in shares of 101. each, of which it is not proposed to call more than 51. The object of the undertaking is to purchase and extend the opera tions of the London Patent Coal Company, a project formed in the latter part of 1804 for the utilisation of small coal or dust. It is stated that in the working of coal mines an enormous waste takes place at the pit's mouth, and that the dust often contains the most valuable properties of the coal, and can be converted under the company's patent into blocks at least as valuable as large coal for manufacturing and loco motive purposes. It is also intended to prepare the dust in small blocks for household use. Payment has been advertised of the September coupon of the Danubian Loan. The interest on the Five per Cent. Bonds of the Melbourne and Hobson's Bay United Railway Company, due the let September, is announced for payment in due course. the Caledonian Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 091., compared with the cor responding week of last year. The creditors of the National Coal Company are required to send in the particulars of their claims to the liquidator on or before the 21st Dec. The following relates to the overdue dividend on the Turkish Five per Cent. General Debt. The total amount required is about 787,0001. : TO THE EDITOR OP THE EXPRESS. Sir,—ln your impression of this day you remark that the statement of the Letant Herald, regarding the 150,000/. set aside out of the tribute of Egypt for the October payment of the coupon of the 5 per cent. Ottoman Debt must be considered as inconsistent, inasmuch as the said tribute is already mortgaged to the holders of the 1854 Loan. In fairness to all parties interested in the matter, may I be allowed to say that, besides the Egyptian tribute, mortgaged as you state, a further sum is annually due by the Egyptian to the Turkish government, in accord ance with the arrangement lately concluded between them, and that this further tribute is entirely unencumbered by any pledge.—l am, tee., B. Q. London, 24th August. FRIDAY EVINING, . „ Consols, which closed yesterday at 68; for the 6th of September, opened this morning at 681 to 1, and left off at that price.
