COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. sittings in Banco.--(liefore Lord Chief Justice Bovill and Justices Willes, Keating, and Smith.) rue NEW CISME JUSTICE, At the sitting of the court this morning Sir Win. Bovill w:,,‘ sworn in Lord Chief Justice of this court. Master Bak ailtuinistered the oath. BAGRELSI E. RAWLS; Thit ease arose out of the following circumstances. The tenants of a Staffordshire colliery got into sneer for rater, and the overseer &strained and seized a toter. The defendant baught it at the auction, and a day ii• two afterwards sold it to the plaintiff, a dealer in old boilers. The boiler was placed upon a bed of brick work, sial not fi xed there, but the doorway of th e b u ildi ng wou ld Live to be enlarged before it could be taken away. When the plaintiffs went for their purchase they were threat tool with legal proceedings if they removed the boiler, mid therefore they abstained from doing so, and com menced the present action against the defendant, for not completing his agreement to sell. At the trial before Mr. Justice Blackburn at Liverpool, the jury found for the plaintiff, damages 401. Mr. Holker now moved fore rule to enter a verd,ct for the defendant or for a new trial, and submitted that the boi!er was liable to he seized for poor's rate, and that the plaintiff had a right to remove it. The fact that the plaintiff had been threatened with proceedi n s if he re moved the boiler was nothing to the fendant, if, in fact, there was a legal right to remove. Rule granted. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. Sittings in Banco.—(Before the Lord thief Baron and Barons Martin, Channel!, and Pigott.) This was the first day of Hilary Term. Mr. Dowdeswell and Mr. Prideaux, who had attained to the dignity of Queen's counsel, were called within the bar, with the customary formalities. WCAVER r. aura. This was a " running down " case, which raised a ques tion of some importance. The action was brought for injury dote to a horse by the negligent driving of n cabman in the service of the defendant. The cabman was taken before a magistrate, who, under the powers of the Hackney Carriage Act 6 and 7 Vic., cap. 86, sec. committed him to prison, and ordered the defendant to {a.107. for damages done to the plaintiff's cab, which had been run into. It was alleged before the magistrate that the horse said to be injured was really not the one in the plaintiff's cab at the time of the occurrence, but another, and the 101. was awarded only in respect of the coviage. At the trial of this a,ition, which took place before Mr. Baron Martin at the last sittings at Guildhall, the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—damages 13/. Mr. Pearce, in pursuance of leave reserved by the learned judge, moved to enter a nonsuit. The question was whether the plaintiff, having obtained under the act in question compensation for one portion of the property injured, could bring an action to recover damages in respect of the other part. The learned counael contended that as the plaintiff had elected to go before a justice of the p thi eace sa , and had received the 10/., he cou ld no t ma i n- Mr.tain s da% Baron Martin said his impression was that as the plaintiff had obtained redress under the Hackney Carriage Act, he could not recover for the damages by a civil action. The Court granted a rule nisi. COtRT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCZ. u (Before the Jdge Ordinary. ) Thai morni ng the court resumed its sittings after the Christmas holidas. The new cause list contains one divorce case for bearing before the full court as against two in the last paper ; seven cases to be tried before special pries as against four; 28 to be heard before common juries as against 22 ;and 84 to be tried without juries against EA. In all there are 120 cases, of which 14 are for judicial *Potation, five for restitution of conjugal rights, and two umber ees c ases iy of marriage. The increase in the hof is attributable to the unusual amount of the probate busine ss last term. It again promises to be rather heavy. TCRSZR r. PERTEM Dr. Spinks, Q.C. and Mr. Callaghan for the plaintiff ; Dr. Deane, Q.C., and Mr. Searle for the defendant. The testator, a retired eating-house keeper, in (lum ber -street, Nottingham, died in March last. He was un married, but he had adopted his niece, Ann Curtis, who had lived with him sus his daughter since the time she was a little girl. He had property to the extent of about 3,000/., which he bequeathed to her. Probate of the instrument, however, wan resisted by Win. Perfect, the heir-at-law, on the grounds of undue execution, undue influence. want of capacity, and want of knowledge of the contents of the paper. [The case was proceeding when our report left.] COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Winslow.) IN RE RONANNA DUNN PRAT. The bankrupt, described as a dressmaker, of South.street, c rosvenor•square, MA King's-cress-road, is well known from the legal proceedings in which she has been concerned sfrxast the Earl of Zetland, in whose employ she had hved As lady's maid to the countess.

A t t h e last fi • trig an adjournment was ordered, on the representation of me b.;;ltrupt that something might yet be derived from 4e proceedings still pending against the Earl of Zetland. Aldridge, for the official assignee, offered no further Nr. 11.,gley, who appeared for the Earl of Zetland, said 1 ` hal no desire to preas hie opposition. All he desired e‘• that she would let him alone, which up to that time 1 "; - 114.1 not done. (Laughter.) She bad returned the °;rl as a c re dit or f or 11:11., but there wars other bills of t.; the amount of 431., taxed in May last, which • to he included. Honour asked the bankrupt if she would give an rtiking to discontinue all proceedings, and told her would be a wiser and happier woman if she did so.

As there was no reason to suppose that had acted fnululently in understating the Lula Zetian costa in the tint instance, the bankrupt would be z0.,,,1 to amend her schedule and increase the stamp on the petition.

EXTRAORDINARY CHARtiR t'T A , :hAULT AT THr ALHAR t 1X:.44.1AN (VYKsOUNSKY) IRON WORKS COM PANY (LIMITED).—(THIS DAY.) An exttaordinart• general meeting of the share linl.l.l, was Galled for noon at the offices of the company, l'innees-h al, Old Brvad-rtreet, Mr. WILLT %ft AVSTIN the chair, to consider and approve the arrangements en tel e I into for settling disputes between the company and shareholders and incident thereto. There not being a quorum of shareholders present, the I.n.,:e_dings were not strictly formal, and another meeting toast be held fur the actual bukiness. The report some days ago issued to the shareholders was not nwl. Inv Ce,AII:M AN observed that the last year had been an evenrf al one in the history of the company's proceedings. Time eommittee of investigation appeared to have occupied themselves chiefly with attempting to find out some legal t aw in the pi weeding* of the directors, IR order to escape their liability. A division MRS pronounced by Vice-Chan. eellor Wood last summer enabling dissentients to effect tiuttoki ea.' u consequence of &deviation from the tenus of the prospectus by extending operations to Russian ironworks generally. The directors were then placed in a difficult position, and their difficulty was increased by the tiling of a bill in Chancery, requiring them to return the money which had been paid—an at tempt which was not, however, attended with success. Under these circumstances the board thought the best course was to make a compromise with those who wished to retire. and in that object they hail succeeded. The At torney-General considered the position of the board a good one as regarded equity, but did not advise them to appeal to the highest court. Litigation would very materially affect the position of the company in Russia, where the value of the property was more likely to be duly appreciated than it was in England, it being well known in Kuala that the property was a very valuable one. The report which had been issued treated the dissentients u common partners, the arrangement proposed being that they were to receive debentures payable within a certain period. After quoting the report to show that the business done would admit of a dividend of 8 per cent. per annum, and saying that the liabilities in London had been re duced front 19,000!. to 10,000/., he concluded by observing that the shareholders who remained would be in possession of a very valuable property indeed which would he in very few hands. Mr. GRIMM expressed his full satisfaction at the state ments which had been made. In reply to questions, The CHAIRMAN said the directors would do all in their power to procure a settlement on the Stock Exchange, and that the dissenting shareholders had nearly all bound them selves in 'writing to accept the proposed arrangement. The legal adviser of the company stated that there were only two dissentient shareholders who had not ratified the agreement. PEEL RIVER LAND AND MINERAL COMPANY. (THIS DAY.) The annual meeting of the shareholders was held this afternoon at the offices, 4, Moonrate-street-buildings ; Mr. He HI:CHES in the chair. The report, which was issued some time before, having been taken Al read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said the prospects of the current year were satisfactory. The washing difficulty had been surmounted. The shear ing had been completed, and it was expected that there would be an advance of 21. or 3d. per lb. in the price of wool. The lambing had been very successful on both properties, exceeding that of many years past The only difficulty wax to find purchasers for the surplus stock. The report was adopted, and a dividend, making the total of the year 24 per cent., was declared. " On the 16th of the present month (says the Pnro the extraordinary labours of the gentlemen who have been hon aired by the selection of the country for the com petition in design for the arrangement and building of the new law courts will terminate. The drawings will be immediately exhibited is a temporary building, erected for the purpose, in New-square, Lincoln's-inn." A sad affair has taken place at Tunstall, in the Potteries. A young man who had been carrying on an in. trigue with a married woman, having some motive for jealousy, went to her house and shot her. He then re turned home and cut his throat. He was yesterday not expected to survive, but the woman's injuries do not ap pear to be of so dangerous a character. The factory operatives of Darwen decided last night to discontinue work rather than submit to the pro_ posed reduction of live per cent, on their present wages. Great agitation prevails on the subject in all the towns of North and East Lancashire. Platinum has been discovered in large quantities in New Zealand. An unfortunate catastrophe occurred on board the Peter Denny on the 11th ult., while on her passage from London to Shanghtte. It appears that the Rev. David Mason, while on the forecastle of the ship, with some other passengers, in the heavy weather which she experienced during the latter part of her passage, was washed overboard. A high sea running at the time, and there being no signs of the unfortunate gentleman after he was seen to sink, the lifeboat was not lowered. Mary Anne Donovan, a pauper, 104 years of age, died this week in the North Dublin Union, having been 40 years in the house. Her father was surgeon in the Scots Fusilier Guards, and she expressed a wish to be buried with the soldiers in St. Paul's-churchyard. The guardians complied with her request, and Mr. J. Norwood proposed that a headstone should be placed over her grave. The Cockermouth bench of magistrates have committed to four months' hard labour in gaol a solicitor of great practise and considerable standing in Cooker mouth, Mr. Joseph Ramsay, for abusing and assaulting his wife. Mrs. - Ramsay said her husband came home drunk at one o'clock in the morning, and after reviling her, he got her by the hair, kicked her, and otherwise ill used her. Her father, Mr. E. Menai, stated that this system of ill-usage had lasted for a long time, and his daughter had often taken refuge from her husband's ill treatment in his house. When the bench announced that they bad determined to commit defendant to four months' hard labour in gaol, Mr. Ramsay, who was standing list lessly in the dock, fell back suddenly, and on being removed he fainted. His wife, also, who merely aimed to have him bound over, became fearfully excited, and appealed to the bench in a distracted way to modify their decision. The magistrates, however, were inexorable. The will of Mr. George Peckett, of the Stock Exchange, and of Aberdeen-park, Highbury, was proved in London on 22nd ult. ' by his relict, Matilda Peckett, and Mr. John Nicholas Payne of the Stook Exchange, the joint acting executors and tru stees. The personalty (says the City Press) was sworn under 120,000 i. The will is dated 12th March, 1866, and the testator died 30th No vember following. With the exception of a legacy of 5001. to his executor, Mr. Payne, he has bequeathed the whole of his property to his wife, fur her own absolute use and benefit. He had been married but a few yearn. Fees IN THE COMMON Law COURTS.—On the 31st of March next an act passed respecting fees payable in the common law courts will take effect, repealing sec. 6 in the prior act 28th Victoria, cap. 45, as to the payment of salaries out of fees, and directing that the total receipts from stamps be paid into the consolidated fund. Fees have now been paid in the common law courts for 12 months by means of stamps, and this is regarded am a great im lrovement. Among the acts of last year was one to col ect fees by stamps in the various public) departments, and it is expected to be shortly adopted attar notices in several offices of the public service. METHYLATED SPlRlT.—Dating the last session of parliament an act was passed for preventing the use of this spirit in the preparation of any medicines for internal use, and came into operation on the Ist inst., from which date a penalty of 1007. will he enforced against any person so using it, even in the preparation of cattle medicines. Methylated spirit may however be used in the manufac ture of medicines for external use. THE CATTLE PLAGUE. —lt appears from the official return that during the week ending January sth ten attacks are reported to have occurred in Great Britain, being an increase of one on the previous return. No fresh outbreaks of the disease took place, and the number in the week preceding was 3. Ten healthy cattle were slaughtered from having been in contact with infected animals. The attacks reported are for the following petty sessional division, viz. (Yorkshire, East Ridingl South liolderness, two cows, two heifers and six calves ; these animals were all killed by order of the inspector. The number of ani mals attacked since the commencement is 2.13,817, and 52,656 healthy cattle have bean slaughtered to prevent the spread of tke disease. WHARNPLIFFE Merrrsos. A new standing order of the House of Lords forbids the sending of any supplemental circular, or form of proxy, from the of of the company, or by any director or officer of the company, and so describing himself ; and directs that the form of proxy, and instructions, shall be addressed to each pro prietor at the back of the form of proxy, and that no inti mation shall be sent, as to any person to whom the proxy may be given or addressed, and that the votes of the proprietors of any paid-up shares or stock (not being debenture stock) not entitled to vote at ordinary meetings shall, when the interests of such proprietors are affected by the bill, and such votes are tendered, be recorded and reported separately. The Nelson Examin , r, in reporting the execu tion of Burgess, Levey, sod Kelly, three Thug like mur derers in New Zealand, says :—" It has been • matter of dispute amongst medical authorities whether death in such cases is caused by strangulation or by dislocation of the spinal column. The necks of the three malefactors were therefore dissected by Dr.. Williams and Cusack, and it was satisfactorily proved that death has resulted in each case from strangulation, the spinal column being foiled to be perfect in each instance ; thus setting this much vexed question at rest." MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.) thos ceesuot. The dealings in the Stock Exchange to day are upon an increased scale, and the tone of the vari ous markets is firmer, owing partly to the favour able character, for this period of the year, of the Bank of England return. It is anticipated that the fortnightly settlement in shares and foreign stocks, which will commence to-morrow, will show a very short supply of stock, and many of the spe culators for lower prices are consequently closing their amounts. At the same time the public are steadily investing, so that the markets are being placed upon a very sound heals. The ad vance in Consols does not exceed 1-IG per cent., but some of the British railway securities are to better. Foreign bonds and banking shares are also inquired for. The supply of money in the discount market to-day is exceedingly large, and choice three months paper is taken at 2i to 3 per cent. The The rate for short loans in the Stock Exchange is per cent. Consols are now quoted 911, ex div., for money, and 911, ex div., for the 7th of February. Spanish Certificates, Italian of 1861, and Mexican bonds are in request, and have advanced 1 to 1 per cent. The amount of business in this depart , ment, however, is not large. Turkish Bonds of 1869 are quoted 531 to 54e, ex div. ; ditto of 1865, 32 to 1 ; Greek, 14/ toe ; Spanish Passive, 21e to ; ditto Certificates, 14/ to e; Italian of 1861, 52; to 531, ex div. ; Mexican, 171 to 18 ; and Russian I Scrip, le to 1:: prem.

The report of the directors of John Crossley and Sons (Limited) to be presented at the meeting of ! shareholders to be held at Halifax on the 18th in stant, states the profit from the 2nd of Dec., 1865,t0 Dec. 1, 1866, at 244,4081., and recommends la dividend of 25a. per share, making a total dietri ' bution of 20 per cent. per annum, including the interim dividend paid in August last. The amount left to be added to the reserve fund is 25,8661. The transfer books of the City of Milan Improve ments Company will be closed from the 14th to the 21st inst., both days inclusive, preparatory to the payment of interest at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum for the half-year ending the 15th inst. The annual meeting of the New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company is convened fur the 4th of February, when a dividend will be I declared.

EILLF-PAST THREE o'CLocz. Consols are firm, at 91i to ex div., for money, and 91k, ex div., for the account. No bullion operations have taken place at the Bank to-day. At Paria to-day the Three per Cent. Rentes opened at G9fr. 87c., showing no change of portance. It appears that a dividend of ss. in the pound, payable on Monday next and the five following days, to the creditors of the Agra and Masterman's Bank, amounts to ab0ut1,250,000/. including inte rest on this and the last division of ss. in the pound. This payment will consequently make a total distribution to the creditors in England of nearly 2,500,0001., and promissory notes are now being issued for the remaining 10s. An instalment of 151., making 25 1. paid, falls due on the 15th inst., on the Russian loan for 6,000,0001., recently introduced by Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. --- The cOntiiienial journals contain the prospectus of the Spanish loan announced through Messrs. Fould and Co., and others. The form taken by the affair, adapts it only for continental circulation. The bonds are 173,186 in number, to be tamed at 450 francs each, and reimbursable in 20 years at 600 francs, by half-yearly drawings, so that the nominal amount of the loan is nearly three and a half millions sterling, and the effective proceeds rather more than 3 millions. Each bond bears 40f. interest annually. Apart from the general engage ment of the Spanish government, the security the loan is the pagares, or notes given by the purchasers of national property, amounting to a total, as stated, of 7,000,0001. sterling, and which are to be deposited with the Comptoir d'Escompte at Paris. The subscription is to be opened at the ' office of that establishment from Saturday, the 12th, till Monday, the 14th inst. r The half-monthly settlement in shares and ' foreign stocks will begin to-morrow (" continuation day") and end on Tuesday.

We are officially informed that the directors of the New Zealand Trust and Loan Company (Limited) have resolved to declare an interim divi dend of 4s. per share, being at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum, at the meeting on the 16th inst. The coupons on the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway, due on the 15th instant, are officially announced for payment on that date, thus disproving the un founded rumour current on the Stock Exchange yesterday. A meeting of the B and C shareholders in the Metropolitan Extensions of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway was held yesterday, when the following gentlemen were appointed a committee for the purpose of protecting their interests, Messrs. G. Chance, F. T. Haggard, G. Hogarth, R. R. Isherwood, and H. D. Warter.

After paying the current expenses, making provision for bad and doubtful debts, allowing rebate of interest on bills discounted not yet due, there remains a disposable balance of 26,224/. 14s. 10d. Of this sum the directors propose to pay 18,000/. for a dividend for the half-year at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum, free of income-tax • to transfer 4,000 /. to the reserve fund, which will then s tand at 64,000/. ; and carry forward 4,223/. 14s. 101 to credit of profit and loss new account. The directors retiring by rotation are W. Gordon Thomson, Edmund Westhy, and Henri L. Bischoffsbeitn, Esqrs., who, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election. The auditors. George Broom and Peter Broad, Emirs., rho retire from office and offer themselves for re-appointment. It is proposed that the dividend be payable on and after Wednesday, the ti rd instant. With reference to the British Six per Cent. Con vention Bonds of Mexico of 1851 it Is noti fi ed that the certificates issued by the London Bank of Mexico and South America (Limited), representing the original bonds deposited with their branch in Mexico, have coupons attached ; and on receipt of advice by the Bank in London, from their branch in Mexico, of the payment of the interest and sinking fund, the hank will pay the said dividends and sinking fund on presentation of the coupons and certificates at their Wham in London. It is further intimated that the bank is authorised, as agents, to oiler for sale some of these certificates, at 1401. per 1,000 dollar certificate (equal to about 20ty. stock). The dire . etors of the Russian (Vyksounsky) Iron Works Company (Limited) have issued a circular to the shareholders. in which they show that they propose to meet by an issue of 46,0001. of deben ture bonds the outatauding claims upon the com pany and the repayments to shareholders who re tire. The Crystal Palace Company have notified the payment , tt the 15th inst. of the half-yearly divi dends on the 7 per cent. preference and 8 per cent debenture stocks. Creditors of the London and African Trading (..ompany (Limited) ate required to send the parti culars of their claims to Mr. Alexander Young, the liquidator, hi the 2nd February. The return of the Bank of England for the week ending Wednesday, Jan. 9, compared with that for the previous week, shows the following changes : Circulation issue eti,461,685 Incases* £32,r0; Circulation active 21,313,810 Increase 26,966 Public deposits 4,444,468 Decrease 3,717,642 Other deposits Government securities in banking department 13,111,068 No change.

The first effect was of course a heavy decrease in the govern ment balance, but as the bulk of the amount immediately reappeared as private deposits, and as the Bank was further placed in funds by the repayment of many of its advances on private secu rities, the sufficiently remarkable fact is presented that the dividends have been paid thus far with only a nominal draught upon the reserve. It is worthy of remark, too, that the coin and bullion have increased upon the dividend payments, which almost invariably cause a decline. From the general appearance of the Bank's balance-sheet it is evident that, both u regards notes and coin, the amount in circulation is in excess of what is re quired for the purposes of trade, the inference being that the steady reflux to the Bank will con tinue.

John Barnett, a checktaker, in the employ of Mr. Strange, at the Alhambra Palace, Leicester-square. was charged before Mr. Knox. with assaulting Mr. James B. Payne, a gentleman residing at the Grange, Brompton. Mr. Sayer, from the office of Mr. E. Lewis, Grant Marl borough-street, appeared for the defendant. Mr. Payne said—After dining with some friends yeste.d iy evening. amongst them Mr. Mortimer Collins, it wa. sug gested that we should go to the Alhambra Palace. Mr. Collins The himself to the doorkeeper at the stage entrance. The doorkeeper asked Mr. Collins who he was, and on his telling him. he said that we could not be admitted. I told Mr. Collins that he had better provide himself with a proper ticket, and come another night. A man then came behind me, and seized me by the back of the neck. The prisoner was the man. He struck me three very severe blows. My elbow was knocked against the wall. Ire. calved a kick on the spine, and my eye was blackened. I not said a word, and was smoking a cigar at the time. By Mr. Bayer—l em engaged in literary pnrenitm, and am a commanding officer of volunteers. It was a quarter to 12 when we got there. It was the stage entrance. I don't know whether it is near the room where the holies of the ballet dresa. I was not attempting to get on the stage. There were stairs leading to the stage, but I was not on them. The doorkeeper (Mr. Coles) did not say we could not go on the stage, that the ladies were dressing, and that we must leave. We did not insist on palming. Mr. Collins wished to advance but in smart courteous way. I did not refuse to leave the place. The doorkeeper told Mr. Collins that he could not enter. I swear confidently that the defendant struck me. I was put out the back way, and then went to the front entrance and charged the prisoner. . . . Mr. Mortimer Collins—lt was suggested that we shonld go to the Alhambra, and through the stage entrance. The door-keeper said we were too late. I said our reason for going to that entrance was that we did not care to go round to the front. I had scarcely time to expostulate with the door-keeper when we were seized by two fellows like garotters, and one struck Mr. Payne and the other struck me. When I turned round to remonstrate, the man struck me full in the face, and but for the fact that my hand has been hurt I should have been able to have given a better account of the man. Sy Mr. Sayer—l went to the stage entrance because it was the nearest, and being connected with the press I have passed in that way before. 1 am not aware that there 11 a notice that only persons connected with the Alhambra are allowed to pass in that way. I have a note from Mr. Strange in which he requests me to go in that way. The doorkeeper said we could not go in, because it was too late. We did not persist in trying to force ourselves on to the stage. I do not know whether anybody came to the doorkeeper's assist ance, but I know that somebody gave me a severe whack in the eye. (A laugh.) We should have left if we bad not been prevented. I will swear the defendant struck Mr. Payne. It was not dark at the time. The parties attacked us in • brutal way. Fred. George Mayne, sergeant, 16 A— I was on duty inside the Alhambra List night ; and Mr. Payne charged the defendant with assaulting him. The defendant denied being at the part of the building where the affray took place. The defendant was quite sober, but the others had been drinking, but knew what they were about. By Mr. Sayer—l had seen the defendant acting as check-taker at the front entrance several times during the evening, and about the time spoken of by Mr. Payne. By Mr. Payne—You asked me to look at you and nee your state, and I saw you had =arks on you, but you did not ask me to notice whether you were sober or not. I did not hear the inspector say you were perfectly sober. Mr. Sayer, on behalf of the defendant, said the facts of the case were these :—The two gentlemen went to the stage entrance of the Alhambra Palace last night, and tr,ed to force their way on to the stage by the private entranoe, the entrance being near the room where the ladies of the ballet dressed. They were refused permission to pass, when they persisted, and becoming very obstreperous, Mr. Coles, the doorkeeper, got some assistance ' with the view of ejecting them,when • scuffle ensued, and finally they were ejected. He would call witnesses to show that the defendant had nothing to do with the matter, and that he was in • different part of the building the whole evening. Mr. Richard Coles, doorkeeper at the stage entrance of the Alhambra, said—About 20 minutes to 12 last night the two gentleman came to the stage entrance, and requested to see the stage director. I told them he had left, and they then wished to go on the stage. I said, " Certainly not. I cannat allow it." I was pushed till I got down two ',take. I re quested them to leave, and as they refused, I sent for as sistant*, and two persons came and put them out, there being a sort of scuffle. I was afterwards sent for by Mr. Strange to know what it was all about, and I told Mr. Strange. Mr. Knox—Were the gentlemen drank or sober! Witness—Mr. Payne was not exactly drunk, but Mr. Collins was more so. The ladies were just coming off the stage from the ballet, The defendant was not one of the persons who came to my assistance. Mr. Payne—Did I do more than advise Mr. Collins to leave and to provide himself with proper credentials and to attend on another evening? Witness—No. Mr. Payne—Did I not request Mr. Collins to leave Witness—Yes. Thomas Carter, employed at the Alhambra—When I went to Mr. Cole's assistance I saw Mr. Payne on the top of the stairs and Mr. Collins defying the doorkeeper, who said they could not pass. They refused to leave, and we closed with them. I closed with Mr. Collins, and we had a scuffle. Defendant was not there at all. Mr. Payne—Did you request me to leave Witness—Yes, and you refused. Thos. Palmer, another person employed at the Alhambra (after giving similar evidence to the last witness), said— I ejected Mr. Payne after a scuffle. The defendant was not there at all. Mr. Knox—Were the gentlemen drunk or sober? Witness—Not drunk and not sober, if your worship underst►nds. Mr. Payne—Did I strike yen' Witness—l don't think you did. Mr. Payne—Did you strike me' Witness—l might have done so. Perhaps I did. Mr. Knnx—As far as I am concerned, and as far as the defendant is concerned there is an end of the case. Here is a man who says he did it, while other witnesses say the defendant was not even there. Mr. P a yne, y ou h ave placed yourself in a very awkward position by what you have done. Yon have rendered yourself liable to an action, and you may depend upon it the matter will not end hero. The defendant of course is discharged. FIRST DAY or TEE-M.—To-day Hilary Term com mences, and will end on the 31st inst. Before next term the question of additional judges —one to each of the three common law courts—will probably be determined. It is the intention of the government to bring forward a hill on the subject, and the judges of the superior courts are understood to be in favour of an increase in their numbers. Term will commence with an arrear of nearly 250 Hiles and other matters of judgment and argu ment, besides cases to be heard at nisi ptius. It has been suggested that one of the additional judges should hear patent cases, with an appeal to the full court. Another suggestion is that a court should sit in London and Middlesex after the commencement of the long vacation, to prevent the rush now made to Guildford and Croydon on the Hoine Circuit ; and, further, that one judge should sit from 10 till 4 o'clock at chambers, in and out of term, to be relieved every week, and thereby facilitate the hearing of formal matters, and, with two of each court sitting, great benefit would arise to the public. THE SHERIFFS.—We have been requested to state that Mr. Alderman Stone and Mr.Wllli.un M'Arthur, an Australian merchant in Coleman-street, will be put in nomination to fill the oftioe of Sheriff of London and Middlesex for the ensuing year, and that there is good reason to believe thAt those gentlemen will present them selves before the Livery when the time of election arrives. nag AT SIR JAMES WILDE'S MANsION.—OR Wednesday morning an alarming fire broke out in the mansion of Sir James P. Wilde, the Judge-Ordinary of the Divorce and Probate Courts, ho. 2, Grafton-street, New Bond-street. The alarm was given at the Regent-street Fire Br'gade station at half-past 8 o'clock, and Inspector Teviotdale. the head officer there, proceeded to the spot with three steam engines and one manual, and a force of nearly 30 men. They have since complained that a delay of about five minutes, which is a serious matter at the beginning of a fire, took place from the want of water. The company supplying that district is the Grand Junc tion. The fire occurred in a back drawing-room, on the first floor, and before it could be extinguished it h ai l de stroyed the whole of the furniture and much of the oak panelling and other ornamentation. Further damage was done to other parts of the house by smoke, arid• l ura r il attempts made by the brigade toprevent the fire syresding, which were fortunately successful. It is attributed to a defect in a flue. The furniture was insured in the Law Insurance Society. Sir James Wilde was out of town at the time. COMMERCIAL AND MARKET& MARK-LANE.--(THIS DAY.) The quantity of wheat fresh up from Awe: and Seat this morning was very moder Ate, And in but middling con. dition. Although Monday's prices were supported, the demand was almost wholly confined to parcels for imme diate use. The show of foreign wheat wan by no means extensive, yet the tranatetions in it were on a limited scale, at about previous currencies. Floating cargoes of grain were held at full quotations. There was a steady demand for fine barley, at extreme rates. Grinding and distilling sorts moved off slowly on former terms. Malt was in fair average supply and sluggish request. Prices, however, were supported. Good sound oats moved off freely other kinds slowly, at Monday's quotations. Beans were a dull inquiry, but not cheaper. The sale for peas was III& sluggish state. In pekes, however, no change took place. Both English and foreign flour commanded fail pekes. /feeds, generally, were ~ slow inquiry. Cakes were held at quite last week's quotations.

The floor of the hall was crowded, and the trade in every department, including those who are connected with no other iron-producing district, was well represented. There was not much business doing, for the reason that nobody knows what course to take whilst • difficulty with the men is threatening, so that the im portant business of quarter-day was almost reduced to nothingness on that account. There was, however, sof ficient inquiry on the part of home consumers and others to lead to the conclusion that if the men accept the terms offered to them • moderate amount of holiness may be done. So far as relates to this day's meeting, however, it was characterised by extreme quietude, but with much desultory talk in reference to the future. The transactions in pig-iron were one limited scale; it is at all times difficult to quote the price of that article, regard being had to accuracy, because of the exceptional circum stances under which it is sold, and especially so of late, but we place the ordinary all mine iron of Staffordshire at 3/. 7s. 6d. to 3/. 10s. per ton—that is from half-a-crown to five shillings per ton below the prices of last quarter day; and not taking into account cinder pigs, the extreme range of price of the clans of iron now referred to will be 3!. 7s. 61. to 4/. 2s. lid. per ton. In reference to the threatened strike, it is thought to be not improbable that, as a preliminary step it will be attempted at three or four of the works ; if such is the case, it will moat likely be met on the part of the masters by a general lock-out. With regard to the quoted discount on the shares of the General Credit Company, it is well to explain to the public that this is the discount on 71. 10s., and not on 6/. The former is the pdld-up amount on the shares of the new company, the latter that on the old. There are now no transactions in the old shares, for by the provisions of the section 131 of the Companies Act of 1862 the register is closed, and transfers cannot be made. The dealings siece the 31st ult. for the present account (15th inst.) are entirely in the new sham, and it is understood the share certificates will be ready for exchange for the old on and after the 15th inst. The dividend warrants are to be posted on Saturday, end are payable on Monday, the 14th inst. RELATIONS WITH RELATIONS.—When relations begin to feel out of humour with their relations, the disease, if encouraged, becomes monstrous and unrootable. Canes have been known where near relations have lived together for years and years without exchanging a word. And when death came and separated them, a flood of remorse embittered the last years of the one left, until they were ready to pray to God to send death for them also, to relieve them of their intolerable anguish. Even good, pious, truthful people are sometimes victims to this bitterness of feeling against their relations. They perhaps suffer from the supercilious pride of haughty relations, ' who, very inferior to them in goodness and worth, yet accident having made them rich and prosperous, they feel they have aright to snub their poor relations . — The Amory for January.
