Emma Cu 4,4 , a ootnely, dark-eyed, young person, of re spectable appearance, had to answer the following complaint preferred against her by Elizabeth Farrell, fair-oompletiosied and with soft-blue, languishing eyes. She said—Uwe at 30, St. John's•road, Hoxtoo. On the evening of the lith Mrs. Cook seized me by the hair, and struck me in the eye with her fist. Mr. Safford (clerk)—What had you done or said to occasion such unladylike behaviour ? Does she live in the same house — Complaisant — Oh, yea, she lodges there. I had not does an gr h . ip ltalf , mr o . rd —Oh, 'you must have given some offence. Have you a witness! Complainant (hesitatingly)—l think Mr. Brown saw it. Mr. Safford—Who is Mr. Brown? Complainant—My master. Mr. Safford—Very well. Now, Mn Cook do you wish to ask any questions! Defendant's pent up feelings now gave way, as in tones not loud but deep, and with bitter irony, she asked Did you not kiss my husband, miss ? Complafnant—Certainly not. Defendant—Oh, will you swear that! Mr. Safford—She is on her oath. Defeodant —Yes, of course, sir. (To complainant)—And did he not kiss you! Complainant---Certainly cot; nothing of the kind. Defendant—Oh. What, not on the lending ? Complainant—No. Defendant —Why, I saw it, and hoard it returned. (Laughter.) Mr. Safford—Where were you? Defendant—Sir. I was is my bedroom, the door open, and I eoukl not be mistaken. If you doubt me call my husband ; he will tell you that he kissed her, and she him. Pray all him ; he is there at the back of the court. Mr. Safford—We had better hear Mr. Brown. Mr. Brown (examined. and appeared to enjoy the matter amazingly )—I keep a ham and beef ahop,and the complaisant is any format. I certainly witomeed the assault in question. Mr. Safford—Did you previously witness the alleged as sault upon Mr. rook by your servant Mr. Brown—Oh, dear, no. Defendant (in sad accents)—Alt, you were sot there— that'e proof. Mr. Brown Don't cry, Mrs. Oook. (Spontaneous laughter.) Mr. CoOka (the maestrate)—Well, does defendant deny the assault! Mrs. Cook—She beat me as mach as I beat her. _ _ Mr. Cooke—l shall order Tow to pay the aosta ool►. aed &dries that you leave the lodging; it will he better for both parties. _ . Mr. Q.C., Mr. Gifford, Q.C., and Mr. E. M'Naghten error on behalf of the governors of St. Thomas's Hospital ; sir High Cairns, Q.C., the Common Berjeoat, Mr. T. D. Ar aihald (common law bar), and Mr. A. E. Miller appear for the City ; and Mr. Wickens for the Crown. Vice-Chancellor gave judgment, and stated—He was of • ....lion that no case had been made out to warrant him it ••:erfering with the selection of a site. The discretion of ro..ar.: a selection was clearly given to the hospital a.. , ...orities. sod the court could not control that discretion s.: •og as it was duly exercised. If the hospital site were selected from motives of fraud, em for instance for the sake of benefitting either the parties making the ti.in or persons in collusion with them, then this court w 21 know well how to interfere, and would do so with e!!rt. so, if an extravagantly expensive sit* wen selected. {:t extranguoce, though free from fraud morally, might ie w.thin the scope of that which this wart o.:(dered fraudulent, and, if so, the court would ..o.lyalitedly interfere. Again, if a site maul fes,..y improper—so improper that it was clear that an hos there erected would be of no use—were selected, the y.rt would hold that the discretion had been so wrongly or 7...,Like01y exercised that it would find means to give s!ef. Some attempts had been made to bring this case satin the scope of such power of the court, but lid not appear to his honour that this attempt had !."ruled. True it was that the site was proposed to be •te.l by the river site, and it was alleged that such a • 41ti011 was unwholesome. Bat the evidence did not con race him that such was the fact. One great t ep.tal of Europe, the Hotel Dieu, was 00 the books a river, and that was confessedly healthier :van many which•leemed to have greater advantages. :tido regard to the case set op by the City, that his honou r :misidered was disposed of by act of parliament. The rite stood by and allowed that act to peas, and that being • trey could not now set up a claim inconsistent with it. Me result of the whole would be that the choice of nit* rsady made would be affirmed—and the contract con •nsed. ttr: Brown—Exactly. I have given them notice. Mn. Cook—Oh no. we gave you notice. (To the eerv►ot)—Oh, you hussy. WANDSWORTH. PORTLICE TILLING.-a SZNBIIII2 0111. Mary North, who carried a child in the peculiar gipey way, and who on entering the dock gave the usual "bob." which was intended for a curtsey. was charged with fortune telling. Sarah Weston, a good-natured looking young woman, said she was in service at No. 2, Middlesex-terrace, South Fields. On the previous afternoon the prisoner came to the house and asked her to buy some clothes pegs, and sitar wards a stay lace. She told her she did not want any. The prisoner then asked her to give her some Mead, and leiteess said she was not allowed to give anything. She next wasted to tell her fortnae. Witness slid, "No ; I know my for tune too well already." (A laugh.) Mr. Daymao— What did she nay to that Witness (laughing)—She said I should have no leak unless I had my fortune told. I told her else would not get me any luck. (Laughter.) She remained quite a quarter of an hour. I sat at the window laughing at her. The prisoner addressed the witness as dear, and said she knew that she wanted only to sell her clothes pegs. Police-constable Quartermain said be was on duty in the Merton-mad in plain clothes, when be saw the prisoner going from house to house. She asked the servant at No. 3 to have her fortune told, but she declined. She went down the area of No. 2 and he heard the prisoner auk the servant to have her fortune told. She told the witous that she was a very fortunate girl and would have plenty of money. (Laughter. ) The Firl repeatedly told her to go away. The prisoner said that rf she had no money, she would tell her fortune for clothes, or for anything else. At lut the primmer saw him, when she turned round and came up the steps. Mr. "hymen said it was very fortunate on this occasion that the prisoner had met with such a sensible girl. The prisoner's clue very often entrapped girls by telling them some lice tale. She had very clearly brought herself within the law, and he committed her to prison for 14 days' hard labour. The prisoner was removed crying. 10 all Antwerp t Rotterdam' 01 94 20 all Behism4 Pra..1...,6.7p.e , 161 17i 5 all Belgian E June:ion I 11 20 3 B.AyresC.Southern j : - 20 ti Copenhagen ;Limited par 100 ' all Coplapo — 10 all Do Extension 100 10 DenaburghWitepaidl„ 10 16 Dutch Rhenish ll 1 1 pm 20 all Do 10 all &Meru of Prance 20 all (id Rumuin gua. sp. c — 10 all Cre it Laren' boarg lOl 11 • 9) all Italian Junction...

As frequently happens when a reduction in the Bank rate has been expected, the discount market yesterday was active and rather tight. Good bills were not generally taken below 6 per oent.,land there was a decided increase of business at the Bank of England. The quarterly advances have commenced at that establishment, and will continue until the payment of the April dividends. In the Stock Ex change there was a good demand for loans on go vernment securities at 5 to 6 per cent. At Paris and Vienna the rate of discount in the open market is now 6 per oent.; Amsterdam and Brussels, 5 ; Hamburg and Berlin, 4 ; Turin, G 1 ; Frankfort, 3i ; and St. Petersburg, 8 per cent.

The letters of " regret" to unsuccessful appli cants for shares in the Credit Foucier Society (Limited) were inuedryesterday. The share list of the Maritime Insurance Com pany (Limited) was closed on Wednesday. The ap plications, so far as can be ascertained at present, amount to 143,0.56 shares, the company's first , issue of capital consisting of 24000. The .magni tude of the applications is the more worthy of no- tice, because no quotation seem to have been made for this company's shares.

TO THI ztorroa OF' TIM /SPRISS.

We ought not to nurse the Danish difficulty by dreary and weary proscriptions ot ssesstion article mongers. Depend on it, so near H►mburg we shall not have any surgical difficulty or want of oranges or lemons, or, better than the two, " sour krout.

Let not our "fashionable.' be misled just at present, however, and then do nettling, as in the case of Mrs. Stowe and "Uncle Tom's Cahn," into nursing the animosities which have just burst out in Simisig, by sending oranges, or wooden legs, or claptrap medical editor. to the " seat of war."
