LAW INTELLIGENCE. (TlllB DAY.) COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. Sittings in Banco.—(Before the Lord Chief Justice and Justices Shee and Loeb.) .nairE V. THY LONDON AND NORTH WZATZRN RAILWAY COMPANY. Mr. Serisant /galantine said this was an action tried ..fore Mr. Justice Lush at the last Middlesex after term .fittings, when a verdict was returned for the defendant with leave to him to move for a rule for a new trial on hand( of the plaintiff. It was an action for damage r personal negligence received by the plaintiff whist travelling on the defendants' line. The ac. Went was the same as that of Redhead v. the Midland ,:adway Company (the different defendants arising from tln i.sue of the tickets', in which the court held that the defendants were not liable for any latent or concealed or h:dilen defects in the machinery. 'That decision had been .:pleaded against, and was to be argued in the Exchequer Chamber, and the learned serjeant asked for a rule for a new trial, or to set aside the verdict in the event of the above court reversing the decision of the Court of Queen's Bench in the case of Redhead r. the Midland Railway Company. Rule granted. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. -ittingin Bllbeo.—(Before Lord Chiet Justice Borth and Justireo Wilke, Bylos, and Seating.) OANIELN r. THR METROPOLITAN RAILWAY. s s The 4aintiff isthis case was a gentleman who had been injured in what is known as the " Girder accident," which happened near the Aldemgate-street station on the 19th December last. It may be remembered that an iron girder, which was being raised to form the flooring of the new Dead Meat Market fell noon a train as it was passing ; and the plaintiff had the misfortune to be in that train. Ho sued the Metro politan Railway Company for damages, upon the ground that they had been negligent, and at that trial, before Mr. Baron Martin, at Croydon, it was arranged that a verdict should be entered for the plaintiff, subject to a motion for rule to enter a nonsuit. Mr. Hawkins, (.C., now moved accordingly, and stated the girder was being placed in position by the Thames Ironworks Company, who were employed by the corpora tion of London, and the railway company did no act of any kind in reference to the matter. I. net her than this, the Railway Company's Act gave them authority simply over the level upon which their trains ran, and they had no power whatever in reference to the higher level upon which the market works were being carried on. The Lord Chief Justice inquired what negligence was aged against the railway company. Mr. Hawkins—lt was said that they had been negligent in not having somebody to watch and prevent trains pasting at the time the girders were in course of being raised ; but previous to the accident there was no appearance or semblance of danger, and no accident would have hap pened but for the way in which a donkey engine, of which the railway company knew nothing, was used. He sub mitted that, under these circumstances, there was no case against the defendants. Rule granted. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Winslow.) IN RE JANES BeTTOR.—" THE DAT " NEWMPAPER. This was a sitting for the discussion of disputed proofs in the matter of James Hutton, of Hues-street, Strand, the publisher of a newspaper called The Day, which maintained a struggling existence of a few weeks during the debates on the Reform Bill as the representative of that small class of politicians known as " Adullarnites." It will be remembered that, after the stoppage of the pa per and the bankruptcy of Hutton, three noble lords— Lord Elcho, Earl Grosvenor, and the Earl of Lichfield—who amongst thein,had contributed something like 3,000/. for car rying oe the paper, undertook to pay the whole of the bona fide creditors in full ; and an arrangement was made that their claims should be sent in to the assignee (Mr. Wintle, accountant), and investigated by him, and then submitted for the consideration of the court. The principal question raised on the part of the noble lords was, whether the unfortunate employes on the Day—sub. editors, reporters, and others—were entitled, by a custom of the profession to a month's salary in lieu of notice, or only to the amount actually due at the end of the week in which the paper stopped. Mr. Bagley appeared for the assignees ; Mr. Reed, Mr. Davies, Mr. Fraser, and other solicitors for the claimants. The first claim investigated was that of Mr. All the the subeditor of the paper, who claimed 44/. for say and in lieu of notice. Mr. Al!pas, being examined, stated that he bad been engaged by Mr. Hutton as sub-editor of the paper at ■ salary of seven guineas • week. Nothing was said as to notice or as to the termination of the engagement. He commenced work on Friday, the 15th of March, by going down to Chatham, Ports mouth, and Southampton to engage army and navy cor respondents. When the paper stopped on the 4th of May, two weeks' salary was due— one week completed and one week commenced; and he claimed four weeks' salary in lieu of notice, according to the custom of the profession— in a 11441. 2a. Mr. T. D. Chipcbase, the City editor, Mr. Dutton Cooke, the dramatic critic, Mr. Alfred Clyatt, Mr. James Elmore, Mr. Charles Corfield, Mr. Roger Griffin, and others, reporters, made similar claims. [The case was proceeding when our report left.) MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THD3 DAY.) The November general sessions of the peace for the county of Middlesex commenced this morning at the Sessions-house, Clerkenwell-green, before the Assistant- Judge, Mr. J. Payne, Deputy Assistant-Judge, and the following magistrates :—Cktptain Hensler, Mr. G. Ashley Dodd, Dr. Jervis, Mr. Woolsey, Mr. Faulooner, Mr. Rankine, Mr. Alexander. The calendar contains the names of 8.5 prisoners com mitted for trial, of whom fit were indicted for felony, and 21 for misdemeanor. The offences with which the prisoners stand charged consist of robberies by servants from their masters, numerous and many serious assaults upon the police, robberies from the Great Northern and other rail way companies, attempted fraud on the St. Katharine's Dock Company, breaking and entering dwelling-houses, hay stealing, robbery of furnished lodgings, sheep stealing, obtaining goods by false pretences, and numerous robberies from the person. THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) BOW-STREET. A STRANGE DELUSION. A cabman named Scully was charged with being drunk while in charge of his cab. Polioe.constuble S :MO said he was sent for on Sunday night to a house in the Euston-road, where the prisoner was drunk and making a great disturbance at the door. His cab was standing in the street, He said he had brought a fare to that house—that the gentleman was in side, and he wanted to be paid. Witness saw the master of the house, who said that nothing of the kind had oc curred. As the prisoner was drunk and would not go away, witness was obliged to take him in custody. before Smith maid the prieoner, whom he had never seen ,eame to his house in the Eustoo-road, knocked at the door, and told the servant that he bad brought • young woman to the house and had since heard her screaming " Murder," and that he was determiner' topmast her out of the house. Of course no young woman had been brought to the house, and no one had cried " Murder." On seeing witness the prisoner said that he was the person whom be bad brought to the house. The fact was that he evi dently did not know what he was saying, being al mos t d e - lirious, partly from the effect of drink, and partly, no doubt, from an injury he had received u p on the head from a fall or blow. lie was bleeding at the time. He said afterwards that be had had a fall. The prisoner said he was very sorry for what be had done. He was the worse for liquor, and no doubt was somewhat confused. He had lost a fare, and had taken it into his head that that was the house. He apologised to Mr. Smith, and would take care to keep sober for the future. Mr. Smith said he bad no wish to press the case against the prisoner, who he understood bore s good character. The prisoner said he bad been 20 years a cabman, and had never been charged before. Mr. Flowers dbuld quite believe that the prisoner had lost • fare. It was clear that he was drunk, and 'hen • man was in that condition dishonest people would take advantage of him. However, the person most aggrieved appeared disposed to get him off, sad he (Mr. Flowers) would have been d i sposed to yield to that if he could do so justly. The prisoner's license was sow clean, and be (M r . Fl owers ) should have liked to leave SO. But this was an offence that could not be altogether coked over, and he must therefore impose a fine of sa. The fine was paid. DEATH OP MR. EDWARD JAMES, Q.C., AND M.P. — intelligence reached Westminster Hall this morning of 'oe death of Mr. Edward James, Q.C., and M.P. for Man. beater. The learned gentleman at the time of his death ►as sojourning in Switzerland, where he had been staying for some time in consequence of the state of his health.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. (THIS DAY.) We have rather a larger supply of beasts, but the fa vourable weather causes a better demand, and some best qualities are dearer.

Messrs. Patteeden and Smith report the trade quiet, and where sales are forced considerably lower prices have to be submitted to. The choicest descriptions, however, command full rates. MAN-EATING TIGER. —The ravages of man-eat ing tigers in the Sumbulpore, Baitool, Chindwara, Rhon da:a, Chsndab, and Raipore districts of Central India Cr. so serious, tbat elephants have been placed at the dis posal of the district officers to enable them to destroy them. Ordinary tigers do harm only to the cattle, and the sanctioned reward of Rs. 50 is sufficient to incite native hunters to pursue them. But with man-eaters the case is dif ferent. One such brute kills its scores of human beings in a year ; and no ordinary native sportsman dare attack it. Captain Fraser. district superintendent of police, Bhun dare, reports the destruction of a ferocious man-eater in the neighbourhood of " Kampta," which had car ried away a young " Gonda..." woman out of her house at daybreak on the 20th December. The woman Ira/ grinding grain with two others at her aide, when the animal sprang into the midst of them and seized the girl. High up in the air, 10 feet from the ground, fragments of the red cords which bound her hair were fluttering on the points of the bamboo fencing. The body was found in a deep ravine ; only the head had been eaten away. On his return to the village Captain Fraser was met by all the women, who, accompanied by the village musicians, gave him a hearty welcome. Mothers placed their infants before Dim, and all vied in ezpressing their gratitude.—Friend of India. THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 4, 1867. THE FENIAN TRIALS AT MANCHESTER. (THIS DAY.) (HT TILZORAPH.) CONTRADICTORY EVIDENCE. MANCHESTER, MoxnAY. A sensation was caused this morning by a wit ness named Beek swearing to William Martin as having been present at the rescue. John Martin was then called, and witness owned it was John, and not William. There in no likeness between the two, either in dress, features, or hair. COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS. MARK-LANE.-(THIS DAY.) The supply of English wheat on sale here today was only moderate, nevertheless, both red and white qualities moved off slowly, at a decline in the quotations compared with Monday last of from Is. to 2s. per quarter. We were well supplied with foreign wheat, which met a dull inquiry, at drooping prices. Barley, both English and foreign, was a slow inquiry and the turn cheaper. In malt about an average business was doing at late rates. The supply was tolerably good. Oats were in fair request, at full prices. The show of foreign was good-of English, limited. Beans commanded extreme rates, although the inquiry for them was by no means active. Peas moved off slowly, but at full prices. The supply was again limited. In Indian corn very little was passing. We have no change to notice in the value of flour. The trade ruled heavy. The floating grain cargo - trade has been less active, but prices on the whole have been fairly supported. A good Mildness, however , has been concluded in floating wheat at an improvement of Is. to 2s. on the week.

STARTLING INCIDENT AT ALDERSHOT. —An inci dent of • very startling character occurred at Aldershot on Friday morning which has caused some sensation in the camp and town, and which, if correct, and there is no reason to doubt the word of the man concerned, must cause some uneasiness in the minds of the commandants of the various garrisons throughout the kingdom. The report is that an attack was contemplated on the prin cipal magazine at the camp, and these are briefly the facts of the case :—Near the central or grand magazine situate on the common between the North and South camps is a email wooden hut used as • guard-house— the guard consisting of a corporal and three privates, who do duty over the magazine. The guard on Thurs day was furnished by the 56th Regiment, and accord ing to the statement of the sentry on duty at half-past 12 o'clock a.m. on Friday morning, he was alarmed by the movement of several persons in proximity to his box. Ho duly challenged them but received no response. He chal lenged them a second time and with no better results. Ho then called to the guard to "turn out," but owing to the wind blowing in gusts he failed to make his comrades hear. The man's assertion is that he saw five persons armed, and that they approached within 50 yards of him, and on hearing his call to the guard they made off. Ho was unable to communicate with the non-commissioned officer of the guard until he was relieved, more than an hour afterwards. The circumstances were reported to the authorities, but whether the man's statement received credence or not has not transpired. The magazine, which contains several thousand pounds weight of blank ammu nition and a large quantity of ball cartridge, is, although in the very cantre of the government proper ty, so isolated that a party could approach from any direction, unseen and unchallenged by any guard on either *map. Various absurd rumours were afloat on Saturday connecting the affair with Fenianism, but nothing has transpired to throw an additional light on the occurrence.—Tonee. ELOPING WITH • GROOM. —At Bradford, on Friday, William Croft, a smart-looking groom, of 24, was brought up on a curious charge. It appeared that Croft had lived in the service of Mr. Ridgeway Bentley Chewier, who is the occupier of the Park Farm, Bolton, near Skipton, and who, it is said, holds a responsible position under the Duke of Devonshire. Croft had been in the habit of attending the family when they drove out, and in his capacity of groom he frequently rode out with the young ladies. An intimacy sprung up between him and one of the daughters, and on Thursday week they came over to Bradford, applied for and obtained a license at St. James's Church, and would have been married but for the interference of the young lady's friends, who got to know of the intentions of the couple, and took the young lady home. Croft had obtained the license by representing that be had resided fifteen days in Bradford, and that his intended wife was of age. It seems, how ever, that although he originally resided in Bradf ord, he has not been located in the town the prescribed time ; and further, it is said, that the young lady is under age. Croft says that she told him she was of full age to be married. Under these circumstances a warrant was taken out, and Croft was apprehended on Thursday, near Skipton. The charge against the prisoner was not fully gone into, and he was remanded for a fortnight, but was allowed to go at large on entering into his own recogni sanees to appear when called upon. RECENT POSTAL REGULATIONS.—The " Bast Central" postal district is now extended so as to include the City, also Old-street, and the whole of the City-road. The " Returned Letter" branch has been removed from the General Post-office to the opposite side of the way, previously to its final removal to the new premises in tended for post-office purposes in Nevrgate-street. The Savings Bank department is at 27, St. Paul's-churchyard, for the present. The letter boxes at the chief office in St. Martin's-le- Grand are cleared for local letters at 7 a.m., 8. 15, and 9.4511. M., and subsequently every hour from I I a.m. to 6 p.m. (both inclusive), and finally at 7.30 p.m.; the delive ries follow in the district within an hour and a half from the time of posting, the time being extended in the same ratio as the length of distance from the district to any other to which the correspondence may be directed. The pillar letter-boxes (which are for letters only) are cleared at 4 a.m., and hourly until 5 p.m., then at 5.30, 6.0, and 9 p.m., both for local and gener al post letters. Notice has been given by the Postmaster-General that the follow ing names of streets, lie. in the City have now been altered as under. His lordship moreover "requests the public to be careful to direct their letter acconling to the present names, to prevent delay in the delivery;:"—Cannon street West has been re-numbered, and re-named " Cannon street ;" Great Cuter-lane, Little Carter-lane, and Shoe maker-row have been re.numbered, and together named "Carter-lane ;" Ludgate -street has been re-numbered, and re-named " Ludgate-hill ;" Spread-eagle-court has been re named " Royal Exchange-avenue." THE WRECK OF THE SCOTTISH LASS. —At 6 o'clock this morning the captain and crew of the Scottish Lass arrived in their boat at Devon. The schooner stuck on the Varna, or, as the captain supposed, on the mast of a sunken vessel. She went down between the Verne and the Goodwin. The men took to their boat, were oat at sea all nicht, and arrived at the Sailors' Home cold, wet, and miserable. , BIRD MIIRDERR.—Certain birds annually occur in this country, but not in sufficient numbers to become familiar to everybody. Many of them are conspicuous by their bright plumage, and when they do occur are seen to attract attention. Now the practice is, whenever one of these birds, such as the hoopoe or the golden oriole, is ob served, that some person should go and shoot it. The person who does so is never, we may say without exception, a naturalist, and his act is " bird murder" without any extenuating circumstances beyond that of ignorance. The death of that unhappy oriole or hoopoe does nothing to advance the study or the taste for natural history, while thereby the species is prevented from permanently estab lishing itself as a denizen of this country ; for, he it re marked, the hoopoes. orioles, and other birds falling into the category of which we are speaking, &boort invariably visit this country in the spring of the year, most usually in pairs, and, if unmolested, would unquestionably build their nests here, lay their eggs, and hatch their young, re tire to the sunny south when the summer is ended, and return she following spying to the settlement of their choice. —Fraer's Magazine for November. THE COMETARY SYSTEM.—The remarkable dis a lately made, that the great November sta r -st r e a m travels v in the track of a telescopic comet (whose period is 331 years), that the August stream, in like manner, follows the track of the great comet of 1862 (whose period is 142 years), and that other noted shooting.star systems show a similar relation to the paths of other comets, opens out the most startling views of the manner in which comical space—or at least that part of space over which the sun's attractive power bears sway —is occupied by myriads on myriads of bodies more or less minute. If those comets — not one in fifty even of discovered comets—whose orbits approach that of the earth are attended by such important streams of cosmic matter: if, for instance, the minute telescopic comet (known ea I. 1866), in whose track the November meteors travel, is attended by a train capable of producing magnificent star shower.' for nine hundred centuries—what multitudes of minute planets must be supposed to exist in the complete cometary system ! This disovery has been made too recently, however (though it appears to be thoroughly established), to admit of our here discussing in full the results which seem to flow front it.— Corn/till Moeaziae for November. At Sandown, Isle of Wight, the sewage is con veyed in pipes clear of the town into cerapite, where it it filtered sod deodorised by a chemical process. The clear portion finds its way into the sea miles away from the town, and the solid residue is mixed with ashes and road sweepings, and forme good manure.

Public securities are flat, and the general course of prices is unfavourable. The news published to day has tended to discourage the favourable im pressions lately catrent with regard to the Roman question, and the di.position to effect sales has been increased by the receipt of lower quota tions from the Paris Bourse. Consols have declined per cent., notwithstanding a short supply of stock in the market. Most of the foreign bonds have given way, the principal decline being in Italian of 1861 and Turkish of 1865. The reduction in British railway stocks ranges from to per cent. The discount market is quiet, although a con siderable amount of paper has fallen due to-day (the 4th). Choice bills were taken at 1i per cent., and in a few cases at Short loans are obtaina ble in the Stock Exchange at 1 to li per cent. Consols are quoted 94 to both for money and next Thursday's settlement, and the Three per Cents. Reduced and New Three per Cents., 92i to e. Railway stocks are flat, and have declined / to per cent, in several cases. Lancashire and York shire remains heavy, at the fall of Saturday. Sub joined are the prices :—Metropolitan, 120 to ; Great Western, 4.% to ; London and North Wes tern, 113 to 1 ; Midland, 117 to 1 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 124' 4 to 3 ; Caledonian, 871 to 3 ; South Eastern, 66k to 67 ; Great Eastern, 32 to ; Great Northern, 107} to 108} ; ditto A, 1121 to 1131 ; London, Chatham, and Dover, 17i to ; North British, 321 to 331; and Brighton, 521 to 1. Foreign stocks show flatness. Italian of 1861 and Turkish of 1865 are offered and have de clined j to per cent., viz., to 441 to I, and 311 to respectively. Mexican Bonds are 1 lower, at 141 to 15, while Spanish Certificates have improved 1, viz., to 16f to g. Turkish of 1862 are at 631 to 641 ; Spanish Pas sive, 181 to 19 ; Chilien scrip, 1 dis. to par ; and Egyptian, 1864, 83 to 84. United States 6-20 Bonds have receded I per cent., viz., to 69,1 to ; Erie Railway shares are called 46l to 47, being lower, and Illinois Central 801 to 811, showing no change. Anglo-American Telegraph shares are steady, at 174 to ; and Atlantic Telegraph Eight per Cent. Preference, at 33 to 3. _ A moderate amount of business is reported in Bank shares. London and Westminster are at 744 to 71i ; Union of London, 38 to 39; Alliance, 12 to 11 die. ; Imperial Ottoman, to 1 dis. ; London and County, 54} to 55} ; and Oriental Corporation, 42 to 44.

The half-yearly meeting of the Imperial Con tinental Gas Association will be held on the 27th inst., when a dividend will be declared. The conviction that the whole fabric of railway finance is unsound, owing to the long-continued and systematic interweaving of capital with revenue, is daily becoming stronger, and now that we have arrived at a period when committees of investigation are once more coming into fashion, there is a general fear of further revelations calculated to aggravate the pre vailing want of confidence. This is the real expla nation of the unwillingness shown by the public during the last few months to invest in the ordi nary or unguaranteed railway stocks. Any pur chases of a bioui fide character that are made at present are almost exclusively confined to the guaranteed and preferential securities. About 10,000 sovereigns were withdrawn from the Bank on Saturday for the Cape of Good Hope. The Oneida, from Brazil, has brought 60,509!. in specie. The committee of the Stock Exchange on the 28th ult. continued the following alteration of rule 109 : _ . - - - The buyer of bonds or other securities subject to periodi cal drawing shall not be entitled to claim delivery thereof previous to the day for which they were bought. Bargains must be settled in securities which have not been officially notified as drawn. In case of the erroneous delivery of any drawn securities, the buyer (on receipt of undrawn securities and on allowance being made for any drawing or dividend of which he may have lost the benefit) shall de liver such securities back to the person who held them at the time of the official notification of the drawing, or shall pa to him any proceeds received from such drawing, pm. vied the said securities or the proceeds thereof be traced to, and remain in the possession and under the control of, such buyer ; all intermediate persons being released from liability. No claim in respect of the erroneous delivery of drawn securities will be entertained by the committee unless made within nine calendar months. . . . Subjoined is s statement (from Mr. Slaughter's Weekly List) of the calls falling due on railway and miscellaneous undertakings in the month of No vember, so far as they have yet been advertised.

M 85,4% With regard to the Caledonian Railway, the Glasgow Herald contains the following : A requisition signed by a number of the principal share holders of the Caledonian Railway is about to be pre. canted to Mr. Thomas Richardson, sugar merchant ; Mr. George Smith, jun., merchant and shipowner ; and Mr. Spam actuary, who are largely interested in the railwiiy, to undertake a thorough investigation of its affairs. Thews gentlemen have already specified their willingness to un dertake the task assigned them, and are to be associated with Sir James Campbell and Mr. George Baird, of Gart. aherrie. A report by such a representation of shareholders would, we feel persuaded, carry all the weight required, and at once allay all the feverish apprehension. • • -• -- The London Clerics Club (Limited) announce that their first establishment will be opened in the course of a few weeks, at 132, Leadenhall-stieot (opposite East India-avenue), as soon as the neces sary alterations are completed.
