It was an action to recover share to the furniture and garden at the I 11.,,liledon, whilst the place was iu the occu i.,twi, "t the defendant's family, which is principally 1,,•."u to tlw public by uleauo of one of its members, • 1:• other lgoatius. • • . _ _ ".%11. serjvant Parry and Mr. Joyce appeared for the ; :an! 311. l'rice, and Mr. Long, fur the d t. r dalt. Jones said that she was formerly in the service of Lynea, cook. and was with the family at the Lodge 41.:r111-4 the Litter part of that time. The kitchen utensils, s she went there in July, Ito;:$, were very old, and bad .h. numded from time to time. The dinner service o set." but the other things were mostly odd. I,lieved that one plate or so of the set was during her time. Not half of the things down in the list of ,Lunage were broken while their. Many of the things had handles off when lit there. The vase had been broken and mended s itit ten.ent before she Liw it. In crio.s.eviniination, she denied that any butter.bca; btokru during her time. She did not believe that .r. butter-boat. A, to the cm-11-scuttle none th-in ev. r had any bottoms. (.t laugh.) A girl and l.'iltions of the defendant. visited the house, but wow,. did nut believe that they ever played at making .w,rd..ls in the drawing-room. Mr. Woodman mid he went over the furniture when th , tense w.ui taken and also afterwards when it was left. T. furniture was at the taking in a shaky state. The whole damage to the furniture, during the defendant's mation, exclusive of the piano and the vase, amounted, r. aitness's judgment, to 101. or 12/. crowexamineal—He went over the furniture with Mr. Prchtnore, and Mrs. Watney paid bin.. Mrs. Lush, the charwoman, employed by Mr. Lyne at the Lodge, said that when they find saw the house, six months after Mr. Lyne went there, it was not clean. The Larose was not clean when Mr. Lyne left it, but it was not particularly dirty. She had been there assisting in re moving fur four days. Press-examined--After Mr. Lyne left Mrs. Watney imployed her for three weeks to clean the house. There vvined to be a good deal of breakage, but then she did not know the condition of the place when Mr. Lyne went there. She .lid not tell Mrs. Watney that the piano had ken injured by dower-pots being put on it. She did hear that it had been injured. lte•ensanined— Witness was employed by Mr. Lyne to clean the house on his leaving, but she had not time to do it. This was the plaintiff's case. Mr. Scrjeant Parry asked to he allowed to recall Mrs. Watney to question her whether she had not paid 2/. for •dilapidation in the garden, and IN. for the repair of some citrus. Mr. Justice Byles, however, declined to allow any fresh brad of claim to be brought forward at this stage of the The learned oonnsel on both sides addressed the jury, each of them asserting that the only object of his client was to get a proper verdict from the jury, and, in addition, the learned scrjeant complained in strong terms that the word " fleeced" should have been need in reference to his client without, as he contended, anything to justify it. Mr. Justice Bytes, in summing up, said that it was evi dent that there was a good deal of feeling on both sides, and he much regretted that much irrelevant matter had been in tro laced, and that statements had been madeof which there were no proofs. There was no proof that sand had been taken into the drawing-room, nor that flower pots had been put upon the piano ; and these overstatements ought, he thought, to induce them to look carefully at the rest of the case. It was agreed on both sides that there must he a verdict for the plaintiff, and the jury would use their beat endeavours to assess the amount at the proper sum. The jury found for the plaintiff, damages, 20/. Mr. Price said that his client requested hint to say that It regretted that he had done anything to cause the slightest rebuke from his lordahip. Mr. Justice Byles said that his only anxiety was lest th-defendant in his excitement should be betrayed into &lying anything improper, which however, in fact he had tot been. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Winslow.) IN H 6 DAVID LIDVAND DEMI. The bankrupt was described as a general dealer, of 43, Lo btate-hi ll , formerly an auctioneer , of oxford- street. TlN.Preiniaes in Ludgate-hill are well 'known as the scene of - mock auctions," by means of which " Mrs. Brown " and other more matter-of-fact persons have been brought to gta4. Recently some proceedings were taken in a erntinal court against two of the parties concerned in tttese auctions; but it is right to state that the bankrupt ots not implicated in the charge, he having merely sub let the shop to the parties against whom proceedings were bkea. This was the sitting for examination and discharge. The :e..ounts, prepared by Messrs. Dubois and Newstead, 4 " debts of C,llil. ' • wets of trifling amount. One of the largest creditors is Mr. Parkins, electroplate mannfac. titer, of Sheffield, whose debt is 2481. On a previous examination, the bankrupt stated that he had sold clocks, j..w,ilery, and electroplated goods at the shop in Ludgate till, but not by auction. He had sublet the shop in Lbruary and March last. Br. Bagley, for the assignees, stated that a private exa inination of the bankrupt had shown great inaccuracies in the accounts, which would necessitate an adjournment. He repre-ented himself to have had large transactions 'nth one Bryant, who turned out to be a fictitious person. L'ing required to account for some goods, he at first 4egeti that he bad b o u g ht th em at Berlin, then at Hanover, then at Hamburg, and those goods had not been ~..oen up to the assignees. After hearing Mr. Reed for the bankrupt, His Honour directed an amendment of the accounts, , 14 adjourned the case for that purpose, with liberty to ae assignees to tender requisitions. IN RE J. A. lIOTHIL. The bankrupt was a linendmper, of Bishopsgate-street 7- sthout. This was the sitting for examination and dis r4e, but no accounts had been tiled, and it was stated the bankrupt bad absconded. The debts proved at brat sitting were 2,131 W.; amount of assets uncertain. .lr. Walker, for the assignees, stated that no accounts :ad Ann filed, and the bankrupt was not in attendance. ie u es ordered to be proclaimed at the usual hour. IS Be SPENCER. The leutlcrupt was mathematical master in the Unirer itl vulle , • School, Upper Gower-street. Against unse up,ll debt+ of 2,3971., due to tradesmen o f di ff eren t load,. and contracted during the last nine years—the acre stated at 1001. only. 1 , 1, the application of the assignees, an adjournment t. - 4• entered for a cash account. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (THIS DAY.) representations were true. Shortly after this the defendant appeared to have gone away from Chelten ham rather hastily, leaving a great many creditors for articles he hail obtained, and after this he seemed to have found his way to Plymouth, where he personated • noble lord, and was received and entertained by the officers of the garrison in that capacity, and was also invited to a banquet un board the Royal Adelaide. Ile remained at Plymouth until he had run up debts to a oonsidendile amount. and he then decamped, leaving his creditors in the lurch. Subsequently to this he appeared to have made an application to Mr. Gladstone in the noise of Mrs. Dorothy Drummond Hay, for assistance to aid a de serving family who were desirous of emigrating to Australia, and he received a sum of money from Mr. Gladstone, who was then Chancellor of the Exchequer, for that supposed purpose. The story was discovered to he false, and the prisoner was taken into custody, but on his expressing the most sincere penitence, and declaring that he would never again commit such an act of dishonesty, Mr. Cladstone consented not to prosecute and the prisoner WAS discharged. In onler to show the sincerity of the prisoner's penitence, it appeared that be wrote to the officer who bad the charge of the case, and told him that if he wanted any information as to where Mrs. Dorothy Drummond Hay could be discovered, she would be found in the family vault at Kensal green Cemetery, and probably in an advanced stage of decomposition, covered with a tombstone, upon which her many virtues were recorded. (Laughter.) The prisoner then appeared to have gone to Sheerness, and he was ap prehended at that place on the charge of obtaining goods from tradesmen by false pretences, and was senteuced to three months' imprisoament ; and at the expiration of that punishment the present charge was preferred against him. When the defendant was called upon to say whether he • had anything to urge why sentence should not be passed upon him. he addressed the court, and said that he denied in a n:ost positive manner the truth of a great many of the allegations that had been made against him. He admitted that his life had been a most adventurous one since his j return from the Crimea ; but he denied that he had led , the life of a swindler. lie said that he belonged to a ! family of distinction; but for some reason or oilier j different members of his family were desirous of getting rid of him. With regard to the charge of obtaining money from the Earl of Derby by forging the name of Mr.. Chisholm, he said that although he hail aided in that transaction he was not the originator of it, and he believed at the time that Mrs. Chisholm was dead. _ The Common Serjeant, addressing the prisoner, that he had pleaded guilty to two indictments charging him with obtaining money by fraud, and another which charged him with forgery, and by his own admission, he hail also been guilty of conspiracy. This was not the first occasion on which be had been guilty of defrauding the government and obtaining money by false pretences front the royal bounty, and there was no doubt that he wa, most dangerous person. The sentence upon him therefore would be one of penal servitude for 10 years. The grand jury have returned true bills against all the prisoners charged with scuttling the ship Severn. THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGILSTREET. A CLEVERAMATEI It I.ETECTIVE.7-RoBRINI. A SAILOR. Jane Emily Watson, a showily-dressed young woman, was charged before Mr. Tyrwlutt with stealing • gold watch and chain of the value of .101., the property of James Thompson, a sailor, raiding at bhingford, &sex. William Sherer, a young German, residing in Broad street, Golden-square, and who has several times brought offenders to justice, said—A little after 12 o'clock this morning I was in the Haymarket, and saw the prisoner in company of a gentleman the worse for liquor. I watched them, and saw the prisoner take the gentleman to the White Bear public-house, in Piccadilly, where the gentle man gave the prisoner something to drink, and paid for it with a half-sovereign, and received the change. The prisoner then took the gentleman down the Haymarket, and put bins into a hansom cab, and got in herself, and told the driver to go to Compton-street. I jumped up on the back of the cab and went with it to Compton-street, where the prisoner stopped the cab and get out, and went with the gentleman into • house in Dean-street. I waited outside the house, and shortly after the prisoner came out in haste having a beer jug in her hand. I asked her what she had done with the gentleman, and she said that he was asleep on the sofa, and that she was going to get him something to drink. She asked me to go and have something to drink with her, and so as not to lose her I did so ; and as she did not ask for the beer, I asked her whether she was not going to get some. She then raid that she was going to Foley-street to get some broth, and she went towards that place. I followed her, and on her seeing a constable in Great Port land-street, she spoke to him, complaining of my following her, and asking the constable to get rid of me. I then went up and spoke to the constable, telling his that I suspected she bad robbed a gentleman in Dean-stmt, and while I was doing so the prisoner tried to get away by getting into • cab. The constable then took the prisoner to the station, and upon her the watch and chain were found. The gentleman they belong to is in court. Prisoner—Did you not say you were a detective? Witness—No. James Thompson, the prosecutor—l am • sailor, and reside at Cbingford, Essex. I do not remember any thing that occurred to me last night. The watch and chain are my property, and of the value of 301. Mr. Tyrwhitt—You are lucky to get them back. Police-constable 113 G-1 took the prisoner into cus tody, and the prisoner, on Sherer speaking to me, handed me the watch and chain, stating that a gentleman she left on • sofa in a house in Dean-street told her to take care of them. _ Sherer—The prosecutor was very drunk last night. I went to the hotel, and brought him here this morning. The prisoner preferring to be dealt with by the magis trate, Mr. Tyrwhitt said he bad no doubt about the case whatever, and committed the prisoner for three months with bard labour. FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE HAYDON4QUARE GOODS STATIO.V. INQUEST.HTHIS DAY.) • This morning, Mr. NV. Payne, the deputy coroner, held an inquiry at the Committee-rooms, Foun tain-court, Minories respecting the cause of an accident at the Haydon-square goods station of the London and North Western Railway, by which Robert Mason was killed, and another man was seriously injured. William Kenna, gatekeeper at the London and North Western Railway Goods station, add he was on duty at the premises in question on Saturday last, at a quarter to 1 o'clock. The deceased and two other men were cleaning bricks near the ruins of the warehouses that were lately burned down. They were standing nearly under the archway of the old warehouse. One the men suddenly gave a shout, " oh, Bob, it's falling in." The man gave a jump back, and a part of the building fell with a loud noise. Two of the men were instantly buried under the drbris. Witness saw a little con crete fall before the flooring, bricks, and beam that were on the top of the archway gave way. The archway formed the gateway into the ruins. It was used at the time of the occurrence by carts. A horse had passed through it just before the accident. There was a great quantity of rubbish on the top of the archway. It had been left there since the great fire which bad occurred at the wool warehouse. The archway had not been shored up after the fire. The rain water had in. creased the weight of the rubbish on the top of the arch way. The basal fell on the buried men. After hearing other evident*, The jury returned the following verdict :—" Accidental death, and the jury recommend that the railway company should take steps to employ a professional person, to have the premises that are now standing on the site of the late warehouses burned by fire properly secured ; and by so doing increase the public safety."

An alarm was given yesterday afternoon (states the Rev. Thomas Renwick), that a steamer was on shore on Typet Ledge, a little to the westward of the Itherfield coast-guard station, and about three milesdistant from this pace. The crew of the lifeboat Rescue, of the Nati o nal Lifeboat Institution on this station, were at once mus tered, and the boat launched in a very high-ground sea that was breaking all along the coast, and was especially beery here as usual. The night was very dark as there was a moat dense fog. After about an hour's pull the lifeboat reached the stranded vessel, which proved to be the screw-steamer Fortuna, Wood, master, bound from the Mediterranean to London. On arriving alongside, the lifeboat's crew found the vessel abandoned, and was hailed from the shore, and told that all on board, twenty-six in number, had been fortunately rescued by the coast guard, by means of the Rocket apparatus. The boat thereupon returned to its station. Much credit is due to the crew for their promptitude in going out in the lifeboat in the very heavy surf breaking on this coast. The cost of this lifeboat was presented to the National Lifeboat Institution, a few years ago, by members of the Royal Victoria Yacht Club, and since then the boat has rendered most valuable service in saving life from shipwreck.

In the Stock Exchange to-day attention is chiefly directed to the fortnightly settlement in shares and foreign stocks, which has just commenced, and the amount of other business going forward is rather limited. The rates of " continuation" are moderate, and the supply of stock is small, especially as regards British railways, which have conse quently improved in several cases. Consols have further advanced j per cent., and some of the foreign securities are likewise fractionally higher. The tendency generally is somewhat better than yesterday. The demand for discount is moderate, and the best three months' paper is taken at # to 2 per cent. below• the Bank of England rate. The quo tation for short loans in the Stock Exchange is 2 per cent. Consols are now quoted 901 to 91 for money, and 90 15-16 to 91 1-16, or 91, for the account (February 7). Foreign stocks are inquired for, and a rise of to per cent. is observable in Turkish of 1865, Spanish Passive, and Chili= Scrip. Turkish Bonds of 1862 are quoted 534 to 544, ex div. ; ditto of 1865, 295 to ; Greek, 141 to g ; Spanish Passive, 224 to g ; ditto Certificates, 14g to g ; Italian of 1861, 53i, to 54k, ex div. ; Mexican, 17i to ; Russian Scrip, 11 to g previa. ; and Chili= Scrip, Ito prem. United States 5.26 Bonds have risen per cent., the present price being 73 to Erie and Illinois Central railway shams, however, are heavy, and have declined 4i and 11 per cent., respectively ; the former are quoted 371 to 38/, and the latter 78/ to 79. Anglo-American Telegraph shares are called 151 to 16k, and Atlantic Telegraph 8 per cent. preference, 31 to showing firmness. International Financial shares are quoted 24 tot die. ; London Financial, 18i to 171, dis. ; General Credit, 21 to 2 dis. ; Credit Fonder, 54 to 5 dis. ; National Discount, 9 to / prem. ; and Hudson's Bay, 151 to 16. The market for the numerous undertakings in the miscellaneous list is still fiat, though many of them have long stood at prices far below their intrinsic merits. It would seem desirable that the public, instead of giving way to a blind fright, as regards all liability in respect of uncalled capital, should be encouraged to exercise a ju dicious discrimination ; otherwise it will probably happen that, while many sound and well-esta blished undertakings remain plunged in unde served depression, thriftless foreign governments will be allowed to levy a heavier toll upon our store of capital than we may be able in the long run to spare. The following memorandum from Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. relates to the New Granada debt : Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. have received by this mail, on account of New Granada dividends, the following remittances :—From Custom-house of Santo Marta, 3,452/. 6s. ; from Custom-house of Sabanilla, 1,520/. 10s. 7d. , ; total, 4,972/. 16s. 7d. Jas. 2 . 23. No gold was taken from the Bank yesterday, but the 230,5001. from Australia by the Kosciusko and Sussex has been purchased for the Continent. The Paris exchange is now too high to admit of any withdrawals of importance from the Bank, but it is believed that the arrivals will continue to be purchased for exportation. The China, from Boston, has brought only about 3,0001. in specie. The Committee of the Stock Exchange have ordered the shares of the Metropolitan and Provin cial Bank to be removed from the list, and have allowed those of the Metropolitan Bank (Limited) (20,000 shams first issue) to be quoted in their stead. The proposed dividend of the Great Southern and Western (Ireland) Railway Company for the half-year is officially announced at the rate of 4 / 1 per cent. per annum, against 5 for the correspond: mg period of 1865. The South Eastern Railway traffic return shows this week a decrease of 1,8201. compared with last year ; and the London, Brighton, and South Coast a decrease of 1,2481. - _ The traffic return of the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada, for the week ending Jan. 5, shows an increase of 1,7471. over last year. At the meeting yesterday of the Accidental and Marine Insurance Corporation (Limited), Mr. Whiffin,the liquidator, made a tall of 51 ; rshare, payable on the lit of March, after affo • some information with regard to the liabilities a nd assets and probable result of the liquidation. The following is a copy of a circular received by the subscribers of the 61i per cent. preference stock of the Great Eastern Midway from the secretary of the company : Jan. 24, 1,4,7. _ _ _ . . am directed by the board to communicate with you respecting the amount you have subscribed to the 64 per cent. preference stock. The total subscribed towards the full amount proposed to be issued is *Ely smalL The board can, however, employ the money sub scribed in executing a portion of the onntemphited works (viz., the coal depot, near to Bishopseate station), and this outlay will immediately produce a profitable return to the company. The board are therefore prepared to accept and use the capital so subscribed, givimi, of course, the gua rantee of the contractors, as stated in the prospectus, and whenever the whole is put out the board would think it right to give you the option of retaining your present stock, or exchanging it for the new stock ; but, under the circumstances, they think it right to lay the matter before you, that if the fact of the whole proposed . issue not having been subscribed should lead you to desire to with draw your subscription, you may have your money re turned. In the event of your not intimating this wish be fore the end of a week from this date, the board will as sume you approve of the course they propose to take, and to act accordingly. _ _ _ • The Master of the Rolls proposes on the 4th February to make a call of 4s. per share on the contributories of the Imperial Land Credit Corpo ration (Limited). By the last mail from Brazil we learn that an extraordinary robbery had been committed at the Bank of Bahia (a local bank). It appears that at 3 p.m. on Saturday, the 22nd December, the directors, who were retiring from their weekly duties, handed as usual the keys of the strong rooms and cash chests to the directors next on the rota, and who were then about to take charge for the ensuing week. The incoming directors pro ceeded to examine the cash chests in daily use, as was customary, and discovered that four bundles of notes, value 210 contos had been abstracted. The reserve chest, which had not been examined for a month, and had been opened only once dur ing that time, was next examined, when a further deficiency of 56 contos was discovered, making a totalof 266 contos,orabout 30,0001. The police were at once communicated with, but up to the time of the departure of the mail (Dec. 27) had failed to trace the notes. Suspicion pointed to a confi dential clerk in the bank, who had been accus tomed to assist the directors on duty in opening and closing the strong rooms, but nothing had been proved against him. It appears that some time previously, consequent on a change of officers, the locks of the doors and chests had been cleaned, and it is thought possible that at that time false keys might have been prepared. One of two things is quite certain ; as the notes were mostly of small denominations, and the parcels necessarily bulky, either they must have been removed in bags, and consequently more than one person must have been implicated in the robbery, or the parcels must have been abstracted at several different times, if the robbery had been effected by one person only. An extraordinary meeting of share holders was at once held, and after an explanation of facts and some discussion, the meeting had been adjourned until the following day. MONDAY Emma. Consols, which closed on Saturday at 901 to for the ith February, were to-day alternately " buyers and " 'sellers at 904, and closed at 90 13-16 to 15-16. For money the last price was 901 to I.

WIT AND HT:VW:R.—When Curran was asked by a brother lawyer. "Do you see anything ridicu lous in this wig :" iukd be replied. " Nothing but the heat'" that wws wit. And when Scott describes the in mates of Cleikum Inn, in " St. konan's Well," who thought they had seen the ghost of a murdered win, we get humour, ttte root of which lies far deeper in human nature. He tys the two inside., took refuge in their bed room, whilst tie hump-backed postilion tied like wind into the stable, .1,1 with professional instinct began in his terror to saile a horse. This was his most natural refuge from the superuaturd ; a touch of humour at which we smile gravely, if at all. When Hood describes a fool whose height of fully constitutes his own monument, he calls him a col , onn of fop, A I;;ltth.w.e without any light a-top." That is wit. Rut when Chs.noer describes the fox as desirous of capturing the cock, and trying to flatter him into singing by tilling him how his respected father used to sing, and put his heart so much into his song that he was obliged to shut his eyes, and by this means pie poor chanticleer to imitate his father and sing and shut his eyes also, wheicupon the fox pounces on him and bears him off—that is humour; a sort of sliut,eyed tumour quite irresistible. Alain, we have wit when Jerrold defines dogmatism us " puppyism come to maturity." But we get at hutuaor when Meow., in his mortal fear of shipwreck, cries, "Would to heaven that I were safe on dry land with iwe presume, to make ziuite mire of his footing) soincb,,,ly Ic.cr - in; me !"—leozil, ri!.
