Several min' et the Reform Cluhgave us to understand that if thallium were changed the club would be taken up by them. The funds receivd for the New Reform Club were spent for the unior Reform Club. (Laughter.) They were all the mum. Mr. Beale* was eyed for 921. for printing, which the plcittiff ought to have paid. The bank book was al vesys open for inspection. Mr. Reales was indignant at b.-inx sued. There was no necessity for plaintiff's going to M.. Hargraves for money. He did not tell the plaintiff when Mr. Reales was cued that he must get the money no ni..tter how. The finance committee looked into every thing th-it Mr. Darby could produce.

(Laughter.) There was no written report. The Junior Reform Club also same to grief. Mr. Edmond Beales deposed that in April the plaintiff came to him with a letter from Mr. Reynolds. He re. ported to me that it was of great importance that he should ham.) my name to the establishment of the New Reform Club. lat first refused, but on his pressing me very mach, and assuring me there would be no personal responsibility, I assented to hie application, and pro inisedjo assist him. I told him particularly that I should decline all responsibility, and he assured me there would ise none . On further examination Mr. Beales gave evidence spoil the main points similar to the other defendants, and on being asked if be was present at a particular meeting. he asked for the minute book, and on its being shown to him it appea-ed that his name was entered as being pre sent, but he had no recollection of it. Plaintiff told him that the money borrowed from Mr. Hargraves was for the purposes of t'ae club. Cross-examined—l gave Colonel Dickson a circular, but 1 did not saactly request him to join. I very reluctantly joined the undertaking. It was unnecessary to enter into the resolutions that we should not be responsible; we only hunted what we considered absolutely requisite, that the plaidtiff shocld be responsible for the preliminary ex penses. We went on in mercy to the plaintiff. I can't may if the plaintiff has been paid his salary, or repaid his outml.pocket expenses. Mt. Geo. Moss and his son deposed that the plaintiff borrowed 101. from the father on account of the club, alleging as a reason that he wanted to pay certain bills, and that the committee would not meet for some time. Mr. Thos. Dudley, an architect, oulvanced plaintiff 10/. with which to send a canvasser to Manchester, as decided on by the committee. He mimed the money by a bill. Plaintiff repaid him within a fortnight. Mr. Bayley, advertising agent, was employed by plaintiff to advertise the club. He advertised it for a month, and when the account was sent in, instead of its being settled immediately as promised plaintiff said he would forward him a cheque as soon as he could get the money together. Mr. Alexander Dollinen, cigar merchant, said he sent three boxes of cigars to Jernyn-street, at the request of the plaintiff, as sample cigars for the club, with the view of his g .tting the club orders. He saw Colonel Dickson at the club, who told him he knew nothing about the . . . . Hr. n•, Gordon, upholsterer, called, at plaintiff's re quest. in Jermvn-street, as he sald he might be able to put some business in his way. He saw plaintiff, Colonel Dick son, and another gentleman there. Plaintiff introduced them to him, and asked them if he should give him the order for a table and chairs, and they replied, "Yes." They told D..: by he bad better order abli things, and be did so. Mr. G. W. "leynolds said be had known plaintiff for two or three years, but he had never offered to back him for 1,000/. S. Dudley, who acted cc clerk, said lie was introduced to the plaintiff by Colonel Dickson. There were 101 written applications, and 40 members paid. He could not say if there were 27 names in the members' book. 181 members were elected ; 1,094/. bad been received by the club. The members of the provisional committee were not to pay any entrance fee, or the first year's subscription. The further hearing of the case was then adjourned. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.—Nov. 8. &icings in Batom.—(Before the Lord Chief Brron, and Barone Martin, Bramwell, and Pigott.) WOODHOUSE V. DICKER. This was an action for maliciously causing a ca. sa. to be issued for a debt and costa in respect of a debt which had been paid, and at the trial in Middlesex, before Mr. Baron Martin. the plaintiff was nonsuited. Mr. Charles; Pollock, Q.C., now moved for a new trial on the ground of misdirection. The plaintiff had become indebted to the defendant for a considerable unto upon bills of exchange, and had em ployed Messrs. Con and Co., the army agents, to sell his commission for the purpose of discharging that and other claims. Subsequently and after a settlement had been effected, the plaintiff, when out shooting with some friends in Surrey, was tweeted by a sheriff's officer, ender s ea. sa., at the suit of the defendant, and taken to Petworth gaol, where he remained until he could arrange with his friends for the payment of the money alleged to be due, a period of eight days. The question now raised turned upon a rather comp!icated state of facts as to the settlement made between Messrs. Con and the defendant. The eotut graleed • rule ail/. r. THE METROPOLITAN RAILWAY COMPANY. The plaintiff in this case sued the defendants, am com mon earners ' for not carrying him safely and securely, according to contract, on their railway between Gower street and Chapel-street. It appeared that be was one of a party of forr, and on arriving at their destination he Landed, as he represented, four tickets to the collector. whereupon the latter declared that he had only received three, and a squabble ensued. The plainti ff was thrust out of the door by two officers of the conipany, and is try ing to recover Isis footing he seized bold of the get*, and ha doing so got his fingers jammed. The trial took place is Middlesex before Mr. Barn. Martin, when a verdict was returned far the plaintiff—daresges 20r. Mr. Harrison, on behalf of the company, now moved for a sew trial on the ground of misdirection. The learned counsel submitted that as the plaintiff had been safely car ried, the alleged offence having been committed after the journey had been completed, he could not recover upon the (loaminess in the form in which it appeared. . . .

Mr. Garth, Q.C., and Mr. Day were counsel fur the plaintiff ; Mr. Giffard, Q.C., for the defendant. The plaintiff wan • young man, a clerk to the sheriffs of Middlesex, and the defendant was a builder. It appeared that the plaintiff was employed in taking an inventory of the furniture of a house which the sheriffs bad seized under an execution ; and in the mans of his examination of the property, he found in a drawer a gold chain worth shout As., which he took care of personally for the purpose of de livering it up to his employers. The daughter of the defendant had seen him put the chain in his pocket, and having informed her father of the circum stance, he followed the defendant, and finding him on the top of an omnibus at the Royal Oak, Bayswater, gave him into custody for stealing it. He was locked up all night, hut upon being brought before a magistrate in, the morning was discharged. The defence was that the circuinatances under which the theirs was taken instifled the defendant in the course he had adopted. Mr. Baron Martin, in summing up, told the jury that in his opinion there was no pretence for charging the plaintiff with felony, and said the only question for them was the amount of damages. The jury retired, and on returning into court gave • verdict for the plaintiff—damages, one farthing. COURT FOR DIVORCE AND MATRIMONIAL CAUSFZ.—Nov. (Before Sir J. P. Wilde.) NUIIIHT.AI) r. Dr. Spinits, q.c., and Dr. Tristram appeared for the petitioner. and the respondent did not appear. This was • petition by the wife praying for a judilial separation on the ground of her hushand's adultery. 'PM parties were married at Lanark, in Scotland, in August, 1 , 60, the petitioner being the daughter of Mr. Potter, a Glasgow merchant of great respectability. and the re spondent being also • merchant. They lived together some time in Scotland, then at Port Natal, and afterwards in London. there being two children issue of the marriage. Everything went on happily until some fourteen :ter ago, when the wife first noticed a great change in der hus bands conduct and habits. Upon being taxed with infi delity he confessed that be had formed a connection with a lady of the name of " Minnie." and that be was in fatuated to distraction with her. He promised to give her up, bat Minnie then swallowed some poison, stein? that she was determined to kill herself if Mr. iduirhead left her. The respondent said he could not become " Minnie 's murderer, as she hail no friend in the world ;" and he thereupon left his wife and children and had since been living with Minnie. who had recovered from the effects of the laudauum which she had swallowed. The respondent had since written several letters, admitting that " Maggie " (Mrs. Mnirhesd) bad always been a and affectionate wife to him, but while be still retained a great affection for her he could not consent to give up Minnie. His Lordship said there could be no doubt of the respondent's adultery, and he granted a decree for judicial separation. Mr. W. S!righ—Well, what became of the charge as to the watch! Witness—They let me off. It was a charge of felony, but they let me (id bemuse they knew I was innocent. Samuel Bluer ' examined by Mr. Cooper—My name is Samuel Hazer. I reside at 11.1, Crown-street, Soho, and am a bedstead maker. I was in Et' idell-street on the night when the van came down. I passed Endell-street towards Broad-street and St. Andrew-street. The van stopped, and my attention was called to an alter cation between the man driving the van and several other men. I saw the prisoner there. One man had hold of the horse's bead. The tall man took the whip and best the driver with it. King spoke about ill-using the man, and the tall man knocked him down. I spoke, and said "What a shame it was." when I received a blow on the bead by the prisoner. That was given with a cane. I think there was lead or some heavy substance at the end of it. I had seen Groves on the wheel of the van before this occurred. He was quarrelling with the man in the van. I bad a soft felt hat on my heed, and the effect of the blow was to make the blood slow. It nearly knocked me down. I was taken to the Middlesex Hospital, and had my bead dressed. I followed after Groves and came 'up to him near Moses and Sons'. I was knocked down be fore the policeman came up. A policeman came up and I gave Groves into charge for striking me on the head. tilroves slid not say anything in answer to the charge. I went to the hospital on Monday. A Serg e an t of the C division was called, and he said on searc hing the prisoner at the station-house he found a Miner 1p aced) on him. I , or the defence .lobn Pearson was called, who said—l am a weird carver, of 11, Ivy•street. St. John's-road. Between 12 and 1 o'clock on the 29th of September last, when at the corner of Endell-street, a van passed with three persona in it. One was sitting with his feet over the left side of the cart. He hallooed, and then he kicked a man named O'Keefe in the cheek. All the party, four in number, including Groves, followed the van to the corner of iroad-street. Groves and O'Keefe went to the , horse's head and witness stood by the cart. Witness ' called for the police, when a stranger came up and took ' the whip from the driver's hand and horsewhipped the persons in the van. King took the part of the persons in the van ; and said it was a shame to horsewhip them with that. A gentleman told him to mind his I own business and not interfere with them. It I then ended in a fight between the stranger and King, and during this time Buret and two men fell on to the ' man who was fighting King, and Groves, seeing too many .on one, went to take Buzer away, and be struck Groves. Groves used a cane and struck him with it. Groves was knocked down and King was on the top of him. Witness took the cane out of Buzer's hand to prevent him striking Groves. William Butler, whip-maker, of White Lion street, and John O'Keefe oorroborated thin evidence. In cress-examination it was elicited that a party of about 17 Irishman bad been that night at the Enterprise public house, and that Grove. and his companions were some of them. After about two minutes' consultation, the jury re turned a verdict of Guilty. The Assistant-Judge, with the other magistrates, retired to consider their judgment. After an absence of a quarter of an hour they returned into court. The prosecutor then stepped into the box and said he wished to recommend the prisoner to mercy. The Assistant-Judge—On what grounds! Prosecutor—l have quite recovered now. The Assistant Judge (in passing sentence) said the court had considered the case against the prisoner with a good deal of anxiety, and they were not in the slightest degree influenced by the fact of the prisoner being concerned in any practices, whatever their object might be. The court would deal with the case as it came before them. He had been found guilty of inflicting grievous bodily harm, for which he was liable to a sentence of penal servitude. The court would not go to that extent. The justice of the case would be met with six months' imprisonment, and at the end of that to enter into his recognizance& to be of good behaviour for six months after. The Prisoner—That is justice with a vengeance. -------- - THE POLICE COURT& MANSION•HOUSE A case of some importance to persons interested in ship ping matters was disposed of by the Lord Mayor on a summons taken out against the Hudson's B Company, at the instance of a seaman named William Whittington. Mr. Denton )of Denton and Maynard's, solicitors) ap peared on behalf of the company. The complainant said he shipped as cook on board the Glare Mara, one of the Hudson's Bay Company's ships, which sailed from London in October, 1866. On arriving at San Francisco a number of boarding masters induced five of the men to desert, and they also wanted com plainant to leave the ship, but be refused to do so. The captain was likewise anxious that complainant should desert and promised, if he assented, to send 12/. home to hie wife, and to re-ship him at some future time at 41. a month before the mast. Complainant replied that he knew better what he was about, that he had a wife and family dependent upon him, and that if he ran away he would. be liable to three months' imprisonment. Under the circumstances bethought it right to consult with the British consul, who told him that he would speak to the captain, but on the mime evening his chest was sent ashore, and as the captain said he would telegraph home to stop his wife's allowance, ho refused to return to his duties. Sub sepuently he was articled to an American ship, and on arriving in England took out • summons against the com pany to enforce payment of his wages. On behalf of the company it was contended that the complainant bad deserted from the vessel, and was there fore not entitled to make any claim against the company. In proof of this statement the return of the British consul at San Francisco was put in, and it included the name of the complainant in the list of deserters from the Glare Mars. The Lord Mayor maid the act of parliament was quite clear. It now rested with the complainant to produce • proper discharge from the ship, and in any event he had not been at all injured, because he lost no time in joining another vessel at higher wages, and as soon as they termi nated in one they began in the other. He had clearly no right to sue the company, and even although the com plainant had not joined another ship, and been receiving higher wages, he could not have done otherwise than dis miss the summons. Another summons against the same company was also heard, the complainant in this instance being a labourer named William Grant. The complainant was employed under an agreement to serve the Hudson's Bay Company in their territories, and his wages were to be 221. a year with everything pro vided. This was in 1861, and he was engaged by the company's agent in Edinburgh. In July 18(11 he was dis charged for refusing to do his duty, and on his return to this country, although he had overdrawn his account to the extent of 131., the company gave him 21. to take him to his place in Scotland. Under such circumstances be would not be taken into the company's service again, but he obtained another engagement from an agent in Stromness, in the Orkney Islands, in July, 1866. He was, however, a second time dismissed for insubordination, and the company, instead of suing him far the 131. for which be was still indebted to them, gave him 21. 104. to take him home, but instead of applying the money for the purpose for which it had been given him, he had been hanging aboutthe Sailors' Home under the pretence that he was sailor. The Lord Mayor said he had no jurisdiction in any case in which no articles had been signed, and if the man had any grievance be must go to the Sheriff's Court. On the rising of the court yesterday the Lord Mayor (Sir Thomas Gabriel, Bart.) who has just concluded his term of office, announced his retirement from the chief magistracy. He believed he had now finished his duties in presiding at this court as Lord Mayor, and he thought it right to leave his testimony as to the perfect gratifica tion he felt with the manner in which the business had been conducted. The regularity and the painstaking of Mr. Oke, Mr. Gore, and the other gentlemen, reflected on them the highest credit, and personally be had always felt the greatest pleasure in presiding in the court from the assist ance which they had invariably rendered to him. He thought the business of no other court could be better conducted, and in taking his leave of the gentlemen con nected with the court be did so with the greatest respect for them. Mr. Oka, chief clerk, having briefly thanked his lord ship for the handsome term, in which he had spoken of himself and the other gentlemen connected with the court, The Lord Mayor remarked that he would not be doing right unless be expressed his satisfaction with the willing ness which the representatives of the press in the court had always exposed any attempt to defraud the public. He bad in every butanes found the greatest radians to expose attempts of this sort, although not immediately connected with the business of the court, and the impar tiality with which the proceedings generally were reported was highly creditable. GUILDHALL. John Brewer and Henry Semite were charged before Sir Benjamin Phillips, on remand, with having stolen a copper, value 10s., from a house, No. 58, Lower White- Henry Towell, 149. said that on Sunday morning last he ' went to Seville's lodgings, No. 6, Baptist-head-court, Whitecraes-street, and asked him if he knew anything about a copper that had been stolen, and he said ' Yes, here it is; a party gave it to me at the corner of White cross-street.' He afterwards took Brewer into custody, but the witnesses against him were afraid to come up. John Osgood, a man in the employ of Mesas. Whit bread. said he lived at 58, Lower initecross-street, and on Saturday night the copper was safe ; on Sunday morn ing it was gone. The evidence did not connect Brewer with the robbery, and therefore he was discharged. Saville was sentenced to two months' imprisonment, with hard labour. Ann Smith and Mary Ann Dunn, who were stated to be sisters, were charged on remand, before Sir B. Phillips, with being in the possession of a sewing machine, sup posed to have been stolen. It appeared tbat on Saturday afternoon George Purser, 140, saw the prisoners in Gresham-street,and Smith having something under ber shawl he asked her what she bad there. She said it was a sewing machine which she had bought of • man in Seliabury.square. That answer not being satisfactory he took thew to the station-horse, and found that Smith had given a fain address and Dunn • correct one. Mr. Russell, of :7, Fore-street, identified the machine as hiv, but he did not miss it until the police called upon him to inquire if he bad lost one. Sir B. Phillips sentenced each of the prisoners to two months' hard labour in the House of Correction. CLERRENWELL _ . . I:idiard Phillips, a labourer, was charged with assaulting Edward Childs, a countable of the Metropolitan Railway, at the Farringdon-road station. The complainant stated that the defendant bad been requested to leave the station as he bad no business there ; but instead of doing so he knocked witness down. The defendant said ►hat he was first usaulted, and what he did was in selfdefence. Mr. Barker ordered the prisoner to pay a fine of 4(5., or, in default of payment, one calendar month's imprisonment, with bard labour, in the House of Correction. The defendant was locked np in default. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Janus How* Ward, a boy, was charged before Mr. Knox with begging. The boy_who, when first brought to the court, was in • wretched condition, was found by Cane, a plain clothes officer of the C division, begging in the Haymarket. Cane took him into custody and made inquiries respecting him, and found that his father got his living by singing about the streets as a " nigger," and that the boy was much neglected. Mr. Knox ordered the boy to be taken to St. James's Workhouse for ► week and on his being again brought up —greatly improved in his appearance—Mr. Knox inquired if the boy's father war present. The father stepped forward and said that his wife was dead, and that he could not do much for the boy as he bad to get his living, and ► very precarious one it was, by sing. ing about the streets, and while he was away his boy was in the greets. Mr. Knox said that the beat thing that could be done for the boy would be to mend him to achooL The father said he should very much like him sent to ► school. Mr. Knox said the boy should be sent to the workhouse for another week, and then sent to a school. Mary Riley, alias Niel, was charged before Mr. Knox with stealing a piece of cotton print from the shop of Mr. Robert James Winter, linendraper, of No. 59, George street, Tottenham-court-road. Arthur Cole, an assistant to Mr. Winter, deposed that on the previous afternoon he saw the prisoner come up to the shop and handle ,bme goods ; she then walked away, but returned shortly after, and undid the fastening of six pieces of cotton print, and then walked away again. About five minutes after she returned again, and took up a piece of cotton print of the value of U., and placing it under her shawl walked off. He went after the prisoner and brought her back, and gave her into the custody of Thaxter, a constable of the E division, and after she was in custody she tried to drop some bacon, that it might not be seen by the constable, but she failed to do so. Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner for a week. THAMES. - - John Thomas was brought ilefOre Mr. Paget, charged with assaulting Johann Hunks, a German sailor, and stealing a bundle containing linen, wearing apparel, and other property, from his person. The prosecutor belongs to a foreign ship lying in the river. He came on shore to make some purchases of small stores—a jacket, stockings, and other things, and was re tuning with them made up into a bundle, which he carried under his arm. He war met by the prisoner, who made a snatch at his bundle. The sailor resisted his attempt to steal it, a struggle took place, and the ruffian knocked him down, and took the bundle from him. The prisoner ran away with it. Mr. Paget committed the prisoner for trial. GREENWICH. George Arfon and Thomas Horton, two young men, were charged on remand with conspiring together to defraud tradespeople under the following circumstances: It appeared that • short time since Acton called at • small shop at Greenwich, kept by Mrs. Elizabeth Webb, and said he had come from the district inspector of weights to look at the scales and weights used in the business, and promised to call again and take the weights away to remedy any defect that might be found. An hour and • half afterwards he and Horton entered the shop, and said they had been to other shops in the neighbourhood, and in order not to inconvenience her in her busi ness the scales and weights would not be taken away. Horton then produced weights and scales from • basket he carried, and proceeded toted the weights used in the shop, four of which he said were very light, and into which he hammered some pieces of lead. After doing this he (Horton) promised to bring two new brass weights on the following day, and then a demand was made of 6s. for adjusting the weights, the money for which he said it was necessary to pay at once, as they had to pay all moneys over to the inspector every evening. The money was paid, and a receipt given for it upon • printed billhead, in which Horton described himself as a scale maker and manufacturer of weighing machines, carrying on business in Vauxhall-walk, Lambeth. Nothing more was seen of the prisoners at the shop of Mrs. Webb, and the weights which had been altered haring teen found by the regularly appointed inspector to be much too henry, the fraud that bad been practised was made known. Summonses were then applied for at this court against the prisoners, and granted, but failing to appear, warrant, were issued, and Hor ton was appre hended by Chuter, a plain clothes constable of the L divi sion, while at the Equestrian Tavern, in the Blackfrian road. Acton, on finding a warrant was issued against him, surrendered. A second similar charge was preferred againt Horton, by Mr. Hornet, • tradesman carrying on business at Arundel-place, Wertbourne-road, Islington, from whom he obtained 10s., saying be had been sent from • tradesman, whose card he produced, and which was also found to be Woe. Police-constable Chuter, in answer to the magistrate, said Horton was not a acalemaker by trade, but had been a potman at a public-house, and had suffered six months' imprisonment for felony. Mr. blaude said it was necessary tradespeople should be put upon their guard against such a system of swindling, and the deposition, having been completed, the prisoners were committed for trial at the next Old Bailey sessions. THE CONDEMNED FENIANS.—It is stated that petitions are in preparation praying the clemency of the crown for the five Fenians condemned to death at Man. chaster ; and others will be sent to Ireland, in the hope of getting as many signatures as possible. Communications have also been addressed to several members of porn,. meat, including Mr. Bright, Mr. Baines, Mr. Baas, Mr. Ltyard, Ind ethers, begging of them to join in the prayer of the memorial, 1113 d, if necessary, to bring the case under the notice of the House of Commons, when it meets on the 19th inst. Meantime, the duty of appointing a day for the execution of the criminals rests with the sheriffs of Manchester, who generally consult with the local anthori ties before arriving at a decision. In the present case it is probable that the sheriffs will not proceed to this painful duty without having previously a&ertained the feeling of the Home Secretary upon the subject. Yesterday morn. ing a meeting of gentlemen satisfied of Maguire's innocence was held in one of the committee rooms at the Town-hall, Manchester. A deputation was appointed to seek an interview with Mr. Justice Blackburn, and lay the subject before him. SI:WI/LAS SUICIDE.—On Wednesday afternoon Mr. Hayfield, deputy county coroner for Hants, investi gated a somewhat mysterious affair at the village of North Stoneham. It appears that four young men left home to collect acorns, and for this purpose went into a copse called " Hutw ood," belonging to Mr. T. W. Hewing. On looking up into a tree one of the young men saw what he first thought was some clothes, but, to his horror and dis may, be found it to be the corpse of a man. The body was banging from a small bough, with a rope roufid the neck. The remains presented the appearance of a mummy, the flesh being completely dried up, so much so that there was no offensive smell. The body was, as one of the wit nesses described it, a mere " shuck " of a man. The eyes were gone, but as the body was suspended high up in the air, and comparatively out of the wet, it had been thus preserved. The skin was almost perfect, but the hair had fallen off on the coat collar. In the pocket of the deceased a bottle was found which contained laudanum. The body was identified by a youth named William M'Kewan es that of his parent from his beard and moustache, and two purses found upon him. His father left home on the second Tuesday in August, and was after seen alive. The deputy-coroner remarked on the mysterious nature of the case, Rllll the jury, after a brief deliberation, returned • verdict, " That the deceased committed suicide while in a state of temporary insanity."

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (Before the Assistant Judge.) THE CASE OF JOHN I:MOVEN._ The prisoner, who was described as a clerk, aged was indicted for assaulting Samuel Buser, and causing ►im actual bodily harm. Mr. Cooper (instructed by the Treasury) prosecuted; Mr. Warner Sleigh appeared for the prisoner. Mr. Inspector Thomson, of the detective department of Scotland-yard, and Mr. Inspector Garford, of the E division, were in attendance to watch the case. The prisoner pleaded not guilty to the indictment. John King said—l am • labourer, residing at No. 3, Crown-court, Great Pulteney-street. I recollect the 29th of September. Between 12 and 1 o'clock on Sunday morn ing I was in Endell-street, passing home. I was going home towards Crown-court with a bird in • cage, tied up in a handkerchief. I saw six or seven men standing at the corner of St. Andrew-street. I noticed one or two of them particularly. The prisoner was one of them. lam sure he was one of them. At that time • van came down &Well-street with threelarge vats in it. On coming down Endell-street I heard some of the men in the van calling out " Heigh, heigh." There was • driver and two men sitting in the van. After the van had passed one of the men ran after it and said he had been kicked in the face by one of the men sitting on the aide of the van. AU the men ran after the van. The prisoner did so. One of them got hold of the horse's head, and dragged it from one aide of the street to the other. One or two of them got up into the cart. One of them took the whip from the man who was driving and beat him. The prisoner then got up into the van. lam quite sure of that. They then got down &grin, when the man who wee driving said if they had done anything wrong, why did they not fetch the police, and not beat them in such • way. The driver told one of them to let go the horee's head. Theis was then • crowd of people around, who road that it was • shame to beat the man in that way. I was standing near to the place at the time. I saw the prisoner get into the van, but I did riot see him strike any one. I was standing with the rest of the crowd. One of the men knocked me down. He was • tall man. I got up and tried to get away, but I was knocked down again by the tall man by • blow with his tist. Before he knocked me down he gave Groves • cane. It bent air be held it in his hand. By the way in which be held it I thought it bad lead, iron, or something heavy at the end of it. At that time Buser (the prosecu tor) said it was a shame, like the rest of the people who were assembled. When Groves raised the cane Buzer said it was • shame, and Groves hit him on the head with the cane. lam sure that Groves was the man. After Buser had been struck some of the men ran otf, and some walked towards Bloomsbury. Borer and several other people then followed them. One of the men was • tall man, and when Buser got to the drinking fountain near Moses end Sons', the tall man struck Ducar again. A constable afterwards came up, and Buzer gave Groves into custody. Cross-examined by Mr. Warner Sleigh—lt was the tall man who turned round and knocked me down. I had done nothing for which he should have knocked me down. I had cried " Shame" and the tall man knocked me down. Groves got up into the van. lam quite sure of that. It was dark at the time, but the lamp was lighted at the corner of the street. I had no conversation or words with any one. but only had blows. I am quire sere of that. When I saw the driver being whipped a gentleman did not turn round and tell me to mind my own business. He did strike me, but I did not strike any blows at all. What was the use of my trying to strike a big man like the tall man who was striking me? lam a peaceably disposed MILD.

B.—The market keeps steady at the late advance, and a good basilicas haa been done in rawe sad refined at very full rates. CATTON.—LIVIRPOOL, Nov. B.—The cotton markrt was quiet in the early part el the week and though DIMS was done to • fair extent, prices bad • downward tee. deacy until Wednesday, when, chiefly in consequence of the more favourable aspect of continental politics, the de mand materially increased. The sales to-day have again bean large, with more fi rmness on the part of holders, and the week closes with little change from last Thursday's quotations. In Sea Island transactions have again been large, and in qualities about "far," which are now scarce, • further advance of Id. per lb. is established. American. after • decline of fully id. per lb., has nearly recovered the quotations of Let Thereday. New York advises to the 7th instant quote middling American cents, costing to sell in Liver poo l 811 per sailing vessel, and qd. per steamer. For Weed there continues to be a large demand, which is freely met by holders, at prices showing little va riation. In Euptian a good business has been done, and the better stapled kinds command extreme prices. East Indiawss freely offered at the commencement of the week, and became very irregular, and generally id. per lb. easier ; but with an increasing demand prices have recovered, sad are now rather higher than last Thursday. Speculators have taken during the week 5,190 bales ; exporters, 13,040 bales ; and the trade 53,590 bales. We have had • good demand to-day, and • very strong market, at slightly higher prices. The sales are estimated at 15,000 bales, of which u,OOO bales were for export and speculation. COTTON GOODS.—Mancirment, Nov. &—There has been a revival to a considerable extent of inquiry to-day and yesterday in this market, in consequence of the better aspect of affairs on the continent. Cotton has advanced in price at Liverpool, and this has had some effect here. It has involved an advance in the price of yarns, and of course manufacturers have been compelled to follow the upward movement in their quotations. A moderate business was done yesterday at better prices than could be obtained on Tuesday, but the advance re stricted business, and to-day, although we have a very general inquiry for both yarns and cloths, we find the Name cause operates to prevent buyers from purchasing. But on the whole the market may be said to be improved both in tone and pries. CORN.--Citm.n&roun, Nov. B.—There was a good supply of wheat at market to-day and to effect sales rather lower prices had to be taken ; in beat descriptions, however, there was scarcely any alteration.

Wheat, red, 66.. to 71s. ; white, 71s. to 80s.; barley, 365. to 475. ; oats, 33a. to 3.55. per or. LIVERPOOL, Nov. B.—At to-day's market there was an average attendance of buyers of all classes, and in wheat a moderate business was done, red kinds suffering a decline of 6d. per mita on the week, and white descriptions a re duction of 3d., with the exception of Egyptian, which re alised the figures of Friday last. Flonr met a tolerable inquiry and was unaltered in price. Egyptian beans had • fair sale and were lid. per r. dearer. Canadian peas slighl7 lower. Malt dull, with declining tendency. Irish grinding barley unchanged. Oats ld. per bushel easier. Oatmeal inactive. Indian corn in limited demand. Mixed, 495. 6d. to 50a. per 48011 u. WAKEFIELD, Nov. B.—To-day there is very little wheat offering, and though our miller are not keen buyers, sellers will not operate, except at very full rates, and where business is done, last week's currency is fully sup ported. Barley slow sale at rather less money. Very little passing in beans or other articles. COALS.—Lormou, Nov. B.—Wals End Wharnelitre, 191.
