wr!rgoli Li FINE ARTS. THE BRITISH INSTITUTION. The British Gallery in Pall-mall was opened. eu Wednes•iay for the exhibition of the htndios made (ruin ti• • pictures of the opi rin•••ers, lent for that purpus by the various puss: rs. The British institution continues to speak cf the brief oppor timits of copying a few piettires, which is thus e:iereil every year for a v*.ry limited time as " tile School of Painting ;" it would be far better to say nothing about a school of painting, for this certainly ea:mot be said to exist if may judge from the very mediocre attempts which characterise the pre sent collection of studies. Tiu• great majority of the painters here require eviilently a great deal of teaching ; few know even the manipulative part of the art, and none seem to perceive the higher qualities of the examples set before them. Thus there can t we think, be little doubt that this mode of educating by copying is directly injurious as preventing originality, and at the same time that it is apt to encourage the practice of making imita tive pictures, the only object of which is to palm them off as originals upon some benighted virtuoso with more money than knowledge of the arts. Though it is not exactly complimentary to the works of the so-called students at the British Insti tution to say so, yet we must admit that not more than one or two of these copies resemble the origi nal sufficiently to suggest any purpose beyond mere study and practice. Two copies of small pic tures by Canaletto, which bear no name, are evi dently the work of a practised imitator, but they fail in all the good points of the master, although such copies, if dirtied over, would no doubt deceive. There is also a copy of the landscape by Wilson, which is cunningly painted as if to be " doctored " and warmed up, and cracked by the process of baking to prepare it for the market. If these are the works of genuine students, the directors could not be expected to interfere, but it is certainly de sirable that some check should be exercised lest an institution established for promoting the fine arts should find itself unwittingly serving very unworthy purposes. MUSIC. MRS. JOHN MACFARREN'S MUSICAL ENTERTAINMENT. This accomplished lady gave yesterday morning, at St. James's•hall, an entertainment entitled " A Morning at the Pianoforte," consistizg of a selection of pieces from the works of the greatest composers for that instrument, played by herself, intermixed with several airs, snug by Miss Eliza Hughes, and illustrated by anecdotes of the musicians whose compositions were introduced, and remarks on their chief characteristics, written fur Mrs. Macfarren by her distinguished relative Mr. G. A. Meclarren, and delivered by herself. The literary portion of this entertainment was of suffi dent magnitude and importance to deserve the acme of a lecture. It was worthy of Mr. 3lacfarren's pen—written with great elegance. full of interesting biographical matter, and instructive from the soundness and good taste of its remarks and criticisms. The fair lecturer's delivery was perfect— clear, animated, graceful, and ladylike. THE DISTRESS IN LANCASHIRE. CLIME. EN WELL. —Last night a numerous special meeting of the vestry of this parish was held ►t the Vestry hall, Upper Rosonian-street ; Mr. Hill in the chair.

The first subscription amounted to • 4,4:',;)/. 3s. 3d., and the secoad had reached 11,310/. Os. making together 15,7691. 3d. cal. Of this second suMerip tie° there now remained 1,9.;41. 2s. 3d. With the excep tion of a few hundred pounds expended in clothing and stationery, the whole of this money had gone in relief. They had now seven sub-committees. 1 , 7 which the relief . was weekly distributed, and their last return showed that 11,910 persona were sodded weekly. Taking into account II what the poor received from the committees and from other sources, be thought the average receipt of those on the 1111 books of the committee would he 2e. W. per week, a sum slightly io excess of that paid in other places. The clothing ' , Weil bad been distributed, in addition to this, could not be valued at less than 2,500/. or 3.0001. In the sewiug schools there were 2.000 girls daily receiving io etruction. As to what would he required for the winter Ly the committee, it was eetinieted that theyeadd not get over the next six months without an expenditure of 20,0110/. klr. N. Ecitimiley stated that 11 the stun now paid in relief was equal to a rate of in the pound. General 'Lindsay, M.P., said that though Laneashite might require much from the public in the present emergency. the public had much to demand from Lancashire, as her landowners and her coal proprietors had all been benefited by the cotton manufacture, and it was not till they had come forward properly that the public would help the county. The sub scription list was then sent round. Lord Liodesy and Earl Crawford's donation of 2,000/. heeded the list, end was followed by 100/. from Messrs. Taylor and Brothers, and 1100/ from Mr. Thomas Taylor. the lemling partner in the firm; Lord Kingsclown, 5001.; Mr. Woods, M.P.. 250/.• and the Misses Woods (fifth contribution), 2501. ; jamas Eckeraley and Suns, :1001. ; Kirklesa Hall Coal Company, 20131.; Mem..

EQUITY COURTS. —Nov. 20. (Before Vioe.Chancellor Sir It. T. Kinder,ley.) SIOSES V. TAYLOIL—NOCK AUCTIONtI. Mr. Clement Swanston moved for an injunction to re strain the defendants (ruin carrying ou the business of "mock auctions," or any other offensive business at 148, Leadenhall-street. The premises belong to Messrs. Moses, and they let the upper portion to Messrs. Older, ship brokers, at • rent of 3101., and the shop and basement floor to Mrs. Janet Taylor, one of the defendants, at • rent of 160/. Mrs. Taylor is a nautical and mathematical instrument maker, carrying on business in the Minories, but she took the premises in Leadenhall.street, and a lease for 21 years was granted to her in June, 1861. She sublet it to • Mr. Jones (a muter mariner who is out of the jurisdiction), and be, it appeared, had sublet to another persons who are using the premises for the purpose of carrying on mock auctions. The lease to Mrs. Taylor contained • covenant by Mrs. Taylor that she would not sublet the premises without the consent of the plaintiffs, or carry on or permit to be carried on any offensive business. . Toulmin, who appeared for Mm. Taylor, said she bad done all she could to prevent the mock auctions being carried on on the premises, but she was unable to prevent it, as the parties in possession claimed under Jones. She bad committed no breach of the covenant, inasmuch as she had sublet to Jones before she obtained the lease, and though she had not the written consent of the plaintiffs to sublet to Jones, she bad their verbal consent. The Vice. Chancellor said he thought he oughtnot to inter fere. Mrs. Taylor had entered into an agreement for • lease with J ones before she executed thelesse onntainingthe stipu lations referred to. He could cot restrain Mrs. Taylor from doing that which bad already been done. lie did Dot say the plaintiffs had no remedy, but their remedy was not in this court. The bill, sa against Mrs. Taylor, must be dismined, with costa. With regard to Daubs, he did not appear, and he should make no order respecting him. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

Rounding the turn beyond the stand the ten followed each other in Indian file, Gardener being in front , Canary second, Colares third, and Warminster fourth; the last three being Fairwater, Lady Ripon, and Amy. When they had three-quarters of a mile to run Charles Fox ran up to the leaders, and Lady Ripon and Fairwater began to overhaul the front rank.

AN ENGLISHMAN. THE VICE•PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE ON THE COTTON FAMIRE. Ou Wednesday evening the Right Hon. W. Hutt, M.P., Vice-President of the Board of Trade, pre- 1 sided at the annual meeting of the Gateshead Mechanics' Institution. After alluding to the success of the society, the right hon. gentleman said :—I had occasion not very many ' days ago to traverse the counties of Cheshire and Lanca shire, the sites of those terrible calamities which the civil war in America has brought upon the manufacturers of this country, and I had there placed palpably before my eyes the moat remarkable and touching evidence of the blessed results of popular education and enlightenment. Does any man doubt what would have been the condition of the population of Lancashire if this calamity had befallen it before popular schools and mechanics' institutes had been established among them? Is there any man living who has read the history of this country, and who believes that a vast and ignorant population, blind like the fabled giant of antiquity, blind but strong, would have passed through this hour of trial and of agony with such a respect for the laws, with such a patient and peaceful constancy under suffering, as now challenges our sympathy and admiration in the people of Lancashire? I have mentioned the subject of the distress in Lancashire, and you may naturally ask int whether there is any prospect of that terrible calamity being brought to a speedy conclusion. I believe a cautious abstinence—a determination to interfere and to meddle as little as possible, a resolution to give fair play, to solve the adjusting influences of de mand and supply. will offer the readiest means of deliver ance to those mills. I believe it is calculated that in the course of the next year there will be brought to England at least half the amount of our ordinary demand, exclusive of any supplies which we may derive from America. (Cheers.) Now, here, then, in the natural agency of free trade is a certain legitimate source of relief ; but if, on the other hand, we were to adopt any of those projects which have been so earnestly and so clamorously demanded ; if we were to prohibit the exportation from this country of the cotton which has been brought into it ; if we were to offer large public rewards for the substitution of some other ma terial for cotton ; or if we were, by any untimely activity, to attempt an intervention in the civil discords of America, 1 believe that we should not only paralyse the present efforts of trade, but that we should close up the legitimate chan nels of relief, without effectually opening out any others. Very few persons are aware by what steps the price of cot ton has mounted up, or the point ►t which it has now ar rived. I nod, in the year 181.1.4 that what is called Ameri • can Upland cotton was sold in Liverpool for 66d. per lb. That was in July, 1860. On October the 9th, 1862, it had mounted to Bid.—very little short of half.a-crown par lb. The last account which I have, which is the 13th of November, states that the cotton was selling in Liverpool for 23jel. per lb. The price has receded a little during the last month ; that is probably in consequence of the very large shipmente which have been announced from the East Indies, and from other parts of the world. It is rather a remarkable fact that the quantity of cotton sent from the East Indies during the nine months of the present year is not quite equal to the quantity of cotton sent duriog the same period of last year, and very little exceeds the quantity which was sent in ordinary years from the East Indies ; but an explanation of that fact is in this circum stance, that up to that period the people of India—the merchants and other persons interested in the trade, were not at all aware of the very large prices which cotton would command in the markets of Europe. They have since that time been exceedingly active in collecting it, and announcements have been made of very large shipments which are now on their way to this country. THE " LIBERATION^ MOVEMENT IN THE METROPOLIS. A•conierence, summoned by private circular, of the nonconformist ministers and prineipal laymen of the metropolis, was held at Hadley's Hotel, on Monday even ing, in connexion with the Liberation Society, Nearly 44/ ministers, representing some of the most important con gregations of London, were present, and about 100 laymen, many of whom had not previously connected themselves with this movement. The chair was taken by Wis. EDWARDS, Esq., who, after a general review of the present aspect of the church and state controversy, eaplained the particular purpose of the meeting, which was to organise the metropolis for the pur poses of the liberation movement. Mr. CARVELL WILLIAMS foaowed with a paper, in which the executive committee of the Liberation Society ex plained their view,. The committee stated that they were on the eve of a great national controversy, and that all non conformists • must be prepared to take their part in it. The time would arrive when this question would become the battle ground of hostile political factions, and the religious mind of the country should therefore be leavened with the principles of the society. Attention was drawn to the fact that the various ecclesiastical sections in the establishmeot were prepared to forget their differences in unitedly strum/ling to retain their political status, and there should therefore be a cheer union for political purposes of those who held nonconformist principles. Reference was made to the gratifying progress and ;iocreasing influence of the society ; hut it was now uecesssry that it should repre sent and wield the whole power of nonconformity so far as related to ecclesiastical legislation. They, therefore, called for increased support from the dissenters of the me tropolis. The paper concluded with an enumeration of the means which might be adopted to give effect to this desire. After this paper had been seed a long and animated dis cussion took place, in which suggestions for lemons, lec tures, public meetings, local committees, the circulation of nonconformist literature, cud other measures were thrown out. Ultimately two resolutions were unanimously agreed upon. The first resolution was moved by the Rev. Dr. EDMOND, seconded by the Rev. A. If. HENDERSON, and supported 'oy Mr. Slum. That having regard to the resistance now offered by the supporters of church establishments to any further recognition by the legislature of the principles of religious equality, and to the probability that their influence will for some tune continue to be successful in parliament, as well as to the fact that the bicentenary agitation has awakened an increased interest in the principles held by oluotariee, this meeting is of opinion that ate)* should be taken forearnest; and united acetic' on the part of noncon formists, for the more systematic diffusion of their eccle siastical sentiments." The second resolution, which was moved by the Rev. JOHN PILLANS, seconded by the Rev. R. W. Berra, and supported by the Rev. A. HANNAY, was as follows:—" That, recognising the special difficulties involved in central action in the metropolis, this fleeting earnestly begs of the minis tern of the several nonconformist congregations in London and the suburbs to consider in what manner they can best aid in promoting the advancement of nonconformist prin ciples in their own localities during the /resent winter. The meeting, which was throughout of a very earnest character, separated about 10 o'clock. WAREHOt'SEMEN AND CLERK'S' SCHOOL—] eater day evening the half yearly court of the governors of this institution was held at the Guildhall Coffee-house Mr. Welihon Creators: in the chair. The report stated the amount received for general purposes during the past year was somewhat in emcees of the amount received during the previous year. In the item, " Annual subscriptions," there was a giatifjing increase of 100 guineas es compared with the accounts for Is6l. The tidal amount received under this I bead was 1.7 . 1.3!. N. Cojpled with the increase of foods already mentioned there was a diminution in the amount of general expenditure, although the number of children in the institution was throe more than the average. A sum of 1,0781. was also received on account of the building fund of the proposed new schools ; the cost of the erection of which is limited to 1,2001., sod the foundation ' stone of which is to be laid in the course of the ensuing . year. The number of children admitted since November 1861 was 11, and five had just completed their term of • pupilage, and one had died of an hereditary disease. In . general the health of the children was good. The number 1 at present in the school was stated to be 64, viz., 47 boys I and 17 girls ; six of the former and four of the latter will leave at Christmas, and an election is to be held this day to fill the vacancies. With respect to the financial con dition of the institution the receipts for the ball-year, in eluding a balance of *IO/ On. Id. from the last half-yearly audit, amounted to 1,6311. 10s. 7d., and the expenditure to 1 1.4.181. de. 11d., leaving in band • balance of 1931. Is. lid. The report having been adopted, the governing officers were appointed for the ensuing year, and the proceedings terminated. The inagikrates etgaged in the investigation of the alleged poisoning case at Sudwell, near Hindoo, Wilt shire, came on Wednesday night to the conclusion that nothing had been allow° to justify the detention of Mrs. Trowbridge. They remanded her, however, on bail for a fortnight, in order that the contents of certain bottles which bad been found in her house might be analysed.

LAwtair gave notice that be should move at the next court that a further aim of 1,0001. should be given by the corporation in aid of the distress at present existing in lan mains. (Hear, hear.) THE TRAFFIC IN THE CITY. Deputy Lorr, the deputy-chairman of the Police Com mittee, moved the consideration of the bill that had been already laid before the court, the object of which is to regulate the traffic of public and other conveyances in the City of London, with a view to remedy the mannveniences that at present exist through the overcrowding of the prin cipal City thoroughfares. He said that the evils complained of were increasing instead of diminishing, and it was abso lutely necessary that something should be done. He said that he believed this bill, if carried out, would be attended with very good effect, and he was ready to give all the in formation in his power with reference to the provisions contained in it. Mr. SNELLING wished to know whether the bill gave a power to interfere with and direct the routes of private vehicles and vehicles used for liminess? Deputy Lore said that the bill did give a power to inter fere in t hese respects and also rave general powers to do what might be considered necessary to remedy the great inconveniences that at present existed, both with regard ti business traffic and public and private conveyances. Alderman Copeland expressed his opinion that the pre sent law was quite sufficient to effect all that was required —(hear, bear)—and they bad no right to interfere with the requirements of commerce, or to throw any impediment in the way of carrying on the commerce of this great city. Redid not believe that the legislature would evergrant them the fresh powers they sought to obtain by this bill, and therefore he trusted the court would not proceed any fur ther with the matter. (Hear, bier.) Mr. H. L. TAYLOR said he was very glad to hear the ob servations that bad just been made by such a practical man as Alderman Copeland. (Hear, hear.) He believed that if they did persevere with this bill the whole trading com munity of the City of London would be up in arms against it. What right bad the corporation to give directions as to the mode in which • man was to carry on his business (Hear, hear.) For his own part he was pleased to see the extent of the traffic—it was an honour and a credit to the City of London, and the corporation would be greatly ex ceeding their powers if they endeavoured to interfere with it. He was anxious to put the extinguisher upon the sub ject at once, and he should therefore move, as an amend ment, that the recommendation of the Police Committee be not agreed to. (Hear, hesr.) Mr. SNELLING seconded the amendment. Alderman LAWRENCE mid that in his opinion many of the clauses of the proposed bill were most objectionable, and he should therefore cordially support the amendment. Deputy Josm said he was sorry to differ from his worthy , alderman, but there could be no doubt that a crying evil existed, and it appeared to him that it was absolutely necessary something should be done in order to remedy that evil. (Hear, bear.) Mr. S. J. GIBBONS supported the amendment on the ground that it Yrs, an improper interference with the trade of the City of London. Deputy Emicrrr said be was sorry to find that the trading interest was not willing to give up a small portion of its privileges for the benefit of the public generally, and he would only observe with reference to the statement, that the law as it at present stood wu sufficient to meet the case, that if it were so, it was a great pity that it was not acted upon, to remedy the terrible state of inconvenience that existed at present. (Hear, hear.) After some further observations by Mr. Saunders, Deputy Bower, and Mr. Pedlar, in opposition to the bill, and from Deputy Fry and Mr. Rowe, in its favour, the first mentioned of these gentlemen suggested that it would be advisable to refer the bill back for further consideration, and not to reject it at once. Deputy Lorr replied, and he urged that it was clear the only opponents of the bill wore the great wholesale houses, who did not choose to have their convenience interfered with ; and be contended that the court was imperatively called upon to do something to effect an alteration of the present system. If they did not, he could tell them that the evil was increasing every day, and before long they would come to a dead block, and would be compelled to take some steps in the matter. (llear. hear.) The motion was then put, when the amendment was declared to be carried. A division was called for, when there appeared, For the amendment Against it Majority against the bill - • -16 -- • _ The whole of the aldermen present voted in the majority. Deputy FRY then proposed as soother amendment., that the bill should be referred back to the Police Committee for further consideration, with a view to its provisions being altered and made more in accordance with the feeling of the court. This amendment was supported by Deputy Pewtreas and Mr. Lawley, and opposed by Mr. H. L. Taylor and Deputy Harrison. Deputy Lorr expressed his readiness to agree to the sug gestion of Deputy - Fry, and with reference to some observa tions that had been made by Deputy Harrison, he said be wished it to be understood that the aldermen bad no power at present to make any regulations for the traffic of the City of London. The amendment of Deputy Fry was then put and carried. PETITIONS. Alderman Abbiss presented a petition from the commit tee of the Sea-Side Convalescent Hospital, at Seaford, near Newhaven, asking for a grant of money. A motion was made that the petition should be referred to the Coal, Corn, and Finance Committee, but it was nega tived on the ground that the institution wax only established in the year 18110, and that there had not been sufficient time to judge of its usefulness, or its claims upon the corpo ration of London for assistance. The next business before the court was a report of the Improvement Committee, brought up by the chairman, Deputy Fry, upon the subject of the widening and im proving Lower Thames.street, but as the court had already been sitting for a very long time, and the debate upon the subject was likely to be a protracted one, it was arranged that tLe matter should be postponed, and the court shortly afterwards adjourned. LIFEBOAT SERVICES. TEIONMOUTH Nov. 19. Last night, about eleven o'clock, a fishing smack called the John, with three men on board, went ashore on Teignmouth Ba r. The night was intensely dark, but the coastiguard men heard the cries of distress, and immediately put off in their own boat, but the sea was running so high and breaking so heavily on the bar that they found it im possible to save the poor creatures. They therefore re turned to the harbour as soon as possible and gave the alarm. The lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution was instantly launched, and succeeded in saving two of the poor creatures from a watery grave. They were found to be quite exhatuted, and afterwards stated that they could not posdbly have held on many minutes longer. Unfortu nately, however, one poor fellow had lost his life before be could bereacuod ; and had it not be for the prompt ser vices of the lifeboat the other two men must have perished. ARKL9W, Nov. 17. Soon after eight o'clock on Saturday' morning a vessel was observed aground on the Arklow bank by the look-out at the coast-guard station. The lifeboat cif the Royal National Lifeboat Institution was immediately launched, a portion of the noast•guard going off in her, as the sea was too rough to admit of their own boat going out. The lifeboat reached the bank in little more than an hour. The sea was then so high that the fishing boats (several of which bad gone out) could not attempt to approach the vessel; but the lifeboat went fearlessly and gallantly through the surf. Oa nearing the wreck it was discovered that the crew had left her, sad that she was hopelessly lost, her bulwarks being then under water. All that could be ascertained respecting her was, that she was the Sarah, of Port Glasgow, and apparently a new vessel. THE CASH OF MR WHITEHURNT.—Mr. George Lewis, jun. (of Lewis and Lewis), Ely-place, solicitor, ap peared before Mr. Justice Blackburn, at chambers, yester day, to apply fora writ of certiorari, to remove any indict ments that might be preferred against Mr. Whitehunt, and on which true bills might be found at the next sessions of the Central Criminal Court, to the Court of Queen's Bench, for trial there. He moved on the affidavit of Mr. White bunt, which set forth that Mr. Whitehurst had been a solicitor in the Court of Queen. Bench for thirteen years, practising in London ; that he was anxious to have the case tried before a special jury, which he could not have at the Central Criminal Court; and that gra ve ques tions of law would arise for the direction the court. Mr. Justice Blackburn, having read the affidavit, said be considered that under all the circumstances it would be far bettor that the ewe in which such questions of law would have to be decided should be removed for trial to the Queen's Bench. The writ of certiorari was therefore granted. Mr. Lewis requested his lordship to fix the amount of bail, and his lordship ordered the defendant to enter into his own recongizance for 2001,, and give two sureties of . oo/. each. Mr. Lewis said he was prepared with sureties, nd the re cognisance. were duly entered into and the writ granted. The result will be that if the grand jury grant true hills the case cannot be tried until about the month of March, and then only before a special jury and the Lord Chief Jus tice of England.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.—Nov. 20. Sittinp io Banco-z-1 ore Lod Chicst Justice . Erie, and Justices William, Byks, and Heating.) CHAMBER: r. MILLER.-81NdUI.AR ACTION 01 7 ASA AULT. The plaintiff was clerk to Mr. Theidman, of Sunderland, ' who sent him to Messrs. Woods and Co., the banking, to get a cheque for 1511. 10e. 651., drawn by a firm in Sunder land, cashed. The account of the drawers was at that time considerably overdrawn. but the gentleman at the bank who received the cheque bad just returned from his holiday, and he was not aware of the state of the account. He con sequently counted out the amount of the cheque in notes and coin, and having placed the amount upon the counter, he went to the cashier to inquire the state of the account, and immediately returned and said that the account was overdrawn, sod he could not pay the cheque. At this time the plaintiff was counting the cash, as he said, for the second time, and he instantly put the money into his pocket. He was remonstrated with, but he declined to deliver it up, and asked to be allowed to communicate with hie employers. This request was not complied with, and ulti mately the money was taken from him by force. Under these circumstances the present action was brought to re cover damages for assault, and at the trial before the Lord Chiet Justice at Guildhall, his lordship held that the money had paned to the plaintiff, and that, therefore, the action would lie ; and the jury awarded him 20f. damages. Subse uently a rule was obtained to enter a verdict for the defen dant, sod to-day cause was shown against the rule being made absolute. Mr. Overend and Mr. Lowers appeared to show muse, and Mr. Bovill, Mr. Manisty, and Mr. T. Jones to support the rule. On the part of the defendant it was contended that the money had not passed, inasmuch as the plaintiff was still counting it and satisfying himself that it was correct. He therefore bad not accepted it so as to make the transaction complete. Another circumstance was that even if the money bad passed, still it was paid in mistake, and therefore the plaintiff had no right to retain possession of it when it was demanded back. The Lord Chief Justice said that the banker bad resolved to pay the cheque, had counted out the money, and placed it upon the counter ; indeed he had done everything or. hie part to pass the property. The instant had gone when the property went from the banker to the customer, and it was not until after this that it was demanded back because it was discovered that there was a mistake in the conduct of the bankers business ; the property having weed, there was no right to take it back again.—Rule discharged. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. Nov. 20. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) ROBISSON v. ROBINSON. - The Queen's Advocate and Dr. Spoke appeared for the petitioner, a wife who sought a dissolution of her marriage on the ground of adultery and desertion ; Dr. Swabey was for the respondent. The petitioner was a Miss Frances Ann Jaime, the daughter of a clergyman. She was married to respondent in September, 1838, and they lived together till December, 1859. They resided in venous places in Yorkshire, and ultimately at Wymeswold, Leicestershire. The husband, Captain Robinson, was described u much addicted to field sports, and as a man of harsh and violent temper. He was proved to have frequently committed adultery with Sarah Riley, in Leicester, after be bad left the petitioner. A servant of the respondent named Cundall stated that he bad remonstrated with his muter on this connection. He had told him that it was highly improper, and had warned him of the consequences. The captain replied that he had been looking out for such a person as Riley for the last 18 years, and that be was now perfectly satis fi ed. The court made a decree nisi, with costs. THE POLICE COURT& MANSION-HOITBE. THE BANK OF ENGLAND PAPER ROBBERY AND FORGERY. The examination of the prisoners was resumed this morn ing, before Alderman Cubitt. The six prisoners included in the charge, namely. George Bundler, Robert Cummings, William Burnett, Rickard Brewer, /antes Griffiths, and Henry IVilliams, were placed at the bar soon after one o'clock. Mr. Freshfield, the solicitor to the Bank of England, again attended to conduct the prosecution ; Mr. Pater, the barrister, appeared for Boucher; and Mr. Leiria for Brewer. and the other prisoners were undefended. IPrs. Ellen Burnett, who bad been living with Burnett as his wife, was examined at great length, and a good deal of additional evidence was gone into, hut no new facts of importance were elicited. The inquiry lasted untillate when the prisoners were again remanded, and it is probable there will be one or two more examinations before they are finally committed for trial. SOUTHWARK. Charles Evans, a notorious young thief, who has only been a few days liberated from prison, after serving eta months' hard labour for felony, was brought before Mr. Combo, charged with attempting to steal a thick woollen coat from the shop of Mr. Cartwright, wholesale clothier, Kent street, Dover-road, Southwark. One of the asaistants to the prosecutor said that they had generally a large quantity of goods banging at the door ex posed for sale. but they were always secured in some way from the depredation of thieves. About 7 o'clock on Wed washy evening four woollen overcoat. were hanging safe over the door. They were secured to the wall by a ehato fixed to each of them. About half an hour after that witness heard the chain rattle, and on mooing to the door, he perceived the prisoner pulling at one of the coats u hard so he could, but finding that it was chained so securely, he bolted as soon as witness made his appearance. He was pursued, and taken into custody. The prisoner here, in the must impudent manner, said he never touched the coat. It was another chap. Mr. Combo asked him how begot his livelihood? The prisoner said he generally worked at Fresh Wharf, but he hurt his heel while there a month ago, and was un able to do anything now. The constable informed his worship that that was all The prisoner bad only been out of prison a few days, after serving six months' hard labour for felony. He was a companion of very bad characters. The prisoner having pleaded guilty to the attempted robbery, Mr. Combo sentenced him to three mouths' hard labour at Wandsworth. MARKET'S. TALLOW.—THURSDAT Erianno.—Market quiet.

The home merchants are doing very little and the foreign merchants less. No improvement has taken place during the week in pieces.

LACE AND HOSlERY.—Norrisogni, Nov. 20. latlee : We have thie week scarcely anything to report, except an almost universal flatness.

There has been a slight re duction in yarns since our last report, leaving the im prersion that there is more of that material yet in the country than manufacturers had been led to believe. Buyers, however, are not affected by this change, being afraid, probably, of a reaction.
