The shooting season opens on Monday week ; but in consequence of the sad ravages made among grouse by disease in the spring months, the prospects of sports men in many districts of Perthshire have not been so dis couraging for a long series of years. The distemper appears to have been most destructive in the Blairgowrie and erieti districts of the county, and has on numerous wore com• pletely cleared the stock of grouse ; and in other places the birds are so scarce that there will be no shooting this season. In Rannoch and the north-west districts of the shire, however, there is • fair stock of grouse, and the young broods are rapidly improving in size and condition with the recent tine warm weather ; but complaints are pretty gentr.l in regard to many broods being composed of small and late birds, and it will be at least the end of August before shooting can be commenced on several moors. In the Crieff district alone there are about 80,0110 acres of unlet shootings. In the month of March one proprie tor refused 01/0/. of rent for a small moor, and immediately afterwards disease broke out, and licitly the grounds would not let. Black game are abundant, and have suf fered little from disease compared with grouse. The bronds,though much later than usual, are improving fast, anti by the time the shooting opens will afford excellent sport. Plover, snipe, &e., are plentiful, and th e birds apptar strong, healthy, and in tine condition. All descriptions of low country game are swarming, and more especially partridges, hares, wild-duck, roe-deer ; and if there be a de fi ciency of sport on th e hills thi e season. the prospects of spotsmen in the low country have seldom been so encouraging. In the preserves, pheasants are numerous ; the young broods, which number:- from ten to fourteen bird, each, are large and well grown. In the Blackmount, Glenartney, and Turlem (omits, the herds of deer are nnmerons, and the animals have seldom at thi+ season been seen in such Due condition. There are already to be seen numerous stage with splendid heads. Previous to the breaking out of disease among grouse, the greater part of the Perthshire moors were let to tenants, end in many instances rat nearly double the former rents ; but we underztand that many of the proprietors have re lieved tenants of their leases, for if shooting on trimly 11101.1114 is to be prosecuted or persevered in this season, the whole stock of grouse will be extinguished. CA ITIINENS-s;:li:E.—We are gliol.p learn that there are good prospects for sportsmen on the It:th in this ..ounty. The keepers have seen no symptoms of disease, sad report the birds plentiful, and 'teen( on the wing.

The return match will be playoff in a few weeks at the Utah NATIONAL ARTILLERY ASSOCIATION. The meeting of this association closed on Satur day with the presentation of the prizes by Lord Longford, LI.P., Under Secretary of State for War, as repre senting the War Department. The ceremony took place in a commodious building near the sea-side known as the Armstrong Gun Shed," which had been titled up in gal.. fashion for the occasion by the Royal Al tillery. A large platform had been erected and decorated with great tare with various coloured flags, and both sides were flanked by an Armstrong gun pointing at the winner, who were drawn up in full marching order, and attended by their officers, the R oy al Artillery officers and men, and pretty well all the inhabitants of Sboebury. Of course • prominent feature on the platform was the array of praxes, which made • handsome display, arranged by the Messrs. Elkington. Lord Longford having taken his place on the platform, Colonel HARCOURT. t'resident of the Council, said— My lord, lam happy to say, on behalf of the National Artillery Association, that this year we have a brighter picture to present than we have ever presented befere— brighter in weather, and brighter in promises of futeve support, Your lordship will remember that some short time ago a deputation, consisting of the council of this association, waited upon you at the War-office, with a view of obtaining the remission of certain c'.:arges which we considered to be unduly pressed upon us, namely, for fair wear and tear, and for the carriage of stores, and we further asked that volunteer adjutants, with certain limitation, might be allowed the same advantages which they obtain when on duty with their own corps. Your lordship very kindly undertook to make favourable representations to the Secretary of State for War; but the effect of those repro sentatioos. I am very sorry to say, resulted in the promise from the War Department to give 10s, to our camp adjutants—(a laugh)---mid a refusal of our other re questa. My lord, the policy of the War Department to , wards our association reminds me of the cabman who went out to buy a hone. The first question he asked, on seeing • lively animal, was, "Do he eat hay-bands r (A laugh.) ! " Aye, he do," was the answer. " Then he'll suit me,"' said the cabman. I would humbly sugges t, m y lord, that having made the animal your own, a little change of diet would be advisable, and that four feeds of corn and a few old War-offiee b eans should in future be substi tuted for the hay-bands. (Laughter and cheers.) We have to thank your lordship most sincerely for your kind ness in coming down a second time to give sway our prfzes. Our thanks are duo to the officers, non-oom summoned officers, and gunners of the Royal Artillery, for the cordial welcome they have given us here. While lam on this subject I must not forget to acknowledge the very great debt of gratitude we owe to the National Ride Association for the assistance they have afforded us in every respect. (Hear.) And now to turn to our own private attains the members of cmr council have learnt from a generally expressed opinion at this meeting two points which must he considered another year; namely, bow to compress all the work of the meeting int o o n e week, and to give more than one prize for ea chcompetition. The galla^t officer then stated that the association had re ceived many promises of support. Viscount HAIIIIINGE rid he addressed the meeting as one of the vice-presidanta of the association. He ex pressed himself as very pleased to hear that the volunteer and the regulars bad worked so cordially together, and he congratulated all upon the excellent understanding pre vailing among them. _ _ _ Lori! Ltieeitea said he also had intended to be present at the practice, but was prevented by the same business as prevented Lord Harding. from coming. The reason, he said, why there were not more volunteer artillerymen at the meeting was the enornions expense that branch of the ser vie, was put to beyond the capitation grant, and they could not afford to con.. here at present. He expressed the opinion that if the government were wise they would at once increase the capitation grant to the whole force. Colonel Sir James Baird, Colonel Gordon, and Colonel Wilmot then made brief addressee. _ _ Lord Lotvoroan said be I;as exceedingly pleased to have to spend a holiday in coming here on this pleasant occa sion, and regretted that other occupations had prevented him from witnessing the practice. He bad, however, fol lowed the daily course of the volunteers through the I press, and he could assure them he sympathised with the wetting they get on the fi rst sight, which s eeme d to pro . same a renewal of the last two years' inclement weather ' during the association's meeting. The volunteers bad learned by being here that there was no occasion for the outcry which was raised by some people, that we were be hind other nations, and they would see that there was much to be learnt before a perfect artillery man was made. Such had been the progress of science in warfare, and such was the attention given now to military metters that about one hundred and fifty patents bad been taken out in connexion with arms and ammunition within the year; and if the volunteers still came down here they might hope to shoot for the Queen's with " P.ig Wills' at ti 000 yards. People were continually Paying we should copy the American ordnance, but the volunteers bad doubtless seen an American gun here of which, however, our artillerists were not afraid. Strange to say, the same complaint was made by the American people against the American government, that they did not copy ours. The noble lord acknowledged the value of the volunteer force, which be said had extended beyond all the expectations which had been formed of it, and expressed his opinion that the government would care fully consider the claims which the force had upon the public purse. The prime were then distributed in the order in which they were won.

MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 5, 1867. EARL RUSSEI L o.N prlrlsH SCHOOL EDUCATION. Earl RuAse::. ( n Saturday, attended the opening of some new British schools just built on Mount Ararat, Richmond. They will accommodate 400 boys and girls, awl the entire cost h been defrayed by trivia* of the movement. An application was made to the Committee of Council on Education for their usual grant, but the difficulties and restrictions that arose out of the official curre-powleuct Att.. so great that the ezliool CAUmaittee withdrew their application, and determined to proceed without government aid. A preliminary meeting was held on Saturday in the large schoolroom , when Mr. C. Burt presided. Lord Russell had promised to be there, bet when, atter waiting for some time, a tuessenger was dis patched to Pembroke Lodge, it transpired that the noble earl had forgotten the appointment. The meeting then proceeded without him, but he was present at the luncheon that followed, and his health as resident of the schools, as well of the British and Foreign School Society, was euthusiuticatly drank. . . _ . Earl Ituaseta.—The first duty I have to perform is to tender my apologies for having omitted this morning to remember that at a certain hour to-day I was to be at the opening of these schools. The fact is I have been for some tune engaged until late hours in London, and last night we were kept very late in the House of Lords, and I got my hind so full of the difficult questions ,'bout householders and lodgers, and votes of minorities, and other matters of a similar kind, that I confess with great humiliation and shame this meeting had gone out of my mind. However lam here now, and I hope you will forgive me. (Cheers.) lam very proud of the aonour you have been pleased to confer upon me in electing me to be the president of the Richmond British Schools. It seems to me, whatever we may do in the House of Lords or House of Commons R. 'al reference to conferring upon vast numbers of the working chums and the smaller householders the right of voting, we ought to do what we have not hitherto done, namely, take care that they shall be tolerably educated, that they shall go to 'school, and know at least something of the great arts of reading, writing, and arithmetic. I think it is not too much to ask that this shall be done, for hitherto the task has certainly not been efficiently performed. Our chair man (Mr. Burt) was good enough to say that I have been long engaged in this cause. That I entirely owe to my father, who at au early 1.. rind—now sixty years ago—be came a friend and patron of the sys.em adopted by Joseph Lancaster when he attempted to establish schools of this kind. One of my wisest recollections is as a boy putting on Joseph Lancaster's broad hat, and mimick ing his manner of salutation. (Laughter.) I thus early became animated with the desire of promoting these schools, and I must say from that time to this I have never changed my mind upon the subject. This question of education is so serious a matter, that I should not like to dilate upon it at any length at present ; but there has always seemed to me a very great injustice in the way in which we make our laws to fall heavily upon theft who commit o ff ences, while we do n o t t eac h them in I their earliest youth the way in which they might avoid the position in which they by-and-by place themselves. I remember among the early inquiries I made respecting the cause of education in this country there was a story of a boy, I think in Derbyshire, who was found setting a snare for hares—an offence for which he was put into prison. Properly and naturally the chaplain went to him, and made inquiries as to what the boy had learnt, and he found that the boy had never heard of such a person as Jesus Chi:st, or of such a book as the Bible. Being asked what be had done, he said be was employed in agricul tural labour six days in the week, and that on Sundays he and his companions were engaged all day in cleaning the horses. That was the only employment lie hail, and as for any knowledge of religion or Christianity, he was entirely devoid of it. I say again, It does seem to me a great injustice, as in this country we have the means of opening schools, to enforce all the rigours of im prisonment against those who offend the laws of religion, morality, and the state, and not to give them the knowledge that might lead them to avoid the penalties they suffer. Such being the ease, I have always been in favour of the British school system of education, because, as my friend William Allen used always to say, "They are schools for all." It is necessary that the schools should not merely be secular, but that they should combine religious teaching, w hi c h should not, however, be sectarian. There will be plenty of time when these children go to church and chapel either to learn the particular form of doctrine which their parents have followed, or to adopt ore which is more con sistent with theirowneonscientious views. But I think while they are young boys and girls at school, it ought to be suf ficient for them to know what Christ has taught, what the Apostles have taught, and from those lessons and precepts to guide their conduct in life. (Cheers.) I trust that these British schools may flourish, and that the advantage may be reaped which a friend I have in my eye (Mr. E. Chadwick) has taught so well, namely that with no very great consumption of time, a great deal may be learnt by a combination of industry and teaching, and that it is very possible that those who receive learning at school may also have plenty of time for tho-e pursuits in Fie from which they are to derive their subsistence—the two being in my opinion perfectly compatible. There are. I am sorry to any, many countries of Europe in which there is more instruction given than In this country ; be. we have in this country the advantage which I trust we shall never part wit), that when boys sad girls have learnt they are at full liberty to follow their own consci entious convictions, and may speak and write without fear upon all that seems to them to be tune and good. I am happy to see that such encellen. schoolrooms have been built ; and I trust that the health of those who come here will be as much attended to as their education. No doubt the commi.tee will conduct the affairs of this school so as to promote the well-being of the pupils, whether it be march regard to their bottill ii irlth, their re ' mental instruction, or, above all, their • us culture. And I ran happy to give you as a toast, " rosperity to the Richmond British Schools, aril all efforts to improve the education of the people." (Loud cheers.) Other speeches in furtherance of the cause of British School education were made by Mr. Crivell Williams, Mr. E. Chadwick, Dr. linwin, of Homerton College, Mr. Remission. and Mr. H. Bolin. Letters of sympathy and support were read from Mr. Buxton, M.P., Lord Amber ley, M.P., and Mr. Gilpin, M.P. A subscription list was entered into for funds to pay the remaining debt, Lord Russell heading it with a gift of 10/. PLAISTOW P/lISSION. —The Church of Holy Trinity, Barking-road, to be consecrated on the 14th inst., is the crowning work of this mission, and will to a great extent complete the design oriainally contemplated in an appeal 11111111 in 1h47 on behalf of Londoners over the border, which was liberally responded to. The special fund■ for building this church have been principally pro vided by donations from three munilloent benefactors, the Bishop of London's Fund, the Incorporated and Diocesan Church Building Societies, and many smaller subscrip tions. It is provided by the deed of patronage and sen. tent* of consecration that all the seats in this church shall be free and unapprapriated for ever, for rich and poor alike. It is to be a parish church, in which all shall have an equal right, in accordance with the law of the land and the ancient parochial system. Some unlooked-for expanses have been incurred in obtaining the site for the church and parsonage, and for other matters connected with the proposed new parish, to defray which liberal contribu tions at the offertory on the day of consecration, or other wise, are earnestly invited. &wary or ENGINEER/3.—On Friday, the 2nd inst., upwards of CA of the members of this society visited the Millwall Docks, now nearly completed. Preparations having been made for their reception by the engineers in charge of the works, the society had every facility afforded them of inspecting the wrought iron lock-gates, bridges, hydraulic machinery, sod other objects of interest. In the evening the members dined together at the Ship Hotel, Greenwich ; Mr. W. H. Le Fenvre, president, in the chair, Mr. Alfred Williams and Mr. James Hendry being vice. chairmen. THE YORKSHIRE RAM LETTINGS. —The First Friday in August as usual brought round the commence. meat of those great annual gatherings, the Leicester rare lettings. Mr. Stamper, of Illighfield-house, Nunnington, and Mr. Souley, of Lund-court, Kirby-Moorside, both showed their rams on that day. At both places there were large attendances of farmers, rather more than usual from the weld districts, where the sheep of the two breeders named are becoming far more generally used. At Mr. Stamper's Mr. Robert Boulton let the sheep by auction. It was generally allowed that the flock never showed to better advantage. They are descended from three of the purest strains and the competition was very strong for particular sheep. The 'headings were a fine level lot. Mr. Hall, of Think, took the brother to the Royal highly commended sheep at Plymouth last year for 11/. 155., a cheap bargain, for some of the other shearlings hardly equalling him went to the welds for the season, at 15/. and upwards. The prices for shearlings ranged from Id. to 15/. 10s., and showed an average of about 9/. The two-shear and aged sheep let readily and well, at prices ranging pretty much the same as for the young sheep. Very great competi. tion exists among the farmers, in fact, and they readily give three times the upset price for sheep of parti cu l ar promise or for thole that have well proved. The High• field-house letting would be as good as any of its prede cessors, and only about half.a.dozen sheep were turned out of the ring unlet. At Mr. Souley's the letting is done privately, and prices, therefore, cannot be arrived at. It is understood that Mr. Souley is perfectly satisfied with the progress made, and that moat of the sheep were taken early at very good prices. With improvement in the tireml the nun prices are gradually creeping up. THE FISHING TRADE OF THE NORTH.—III con sequence of the recent stormy weather the large fleets of fishing boats, usually engaged at this time of the year from the north-eastern ports, have been much detained in the harbours. Bot on Wednesday and Thursday a consider able fleet of boats get out of the Tyne, and as the fish is now well inshore, the most of them had good catches. Some of the best ti.hr.l boats averaged abut mei fish each. The price by auction at Shields on Wednesday was from la. bid. to tie., and on Thursday from 4s. 2d. to 4s. 3d. per 100. The salmon Balling in all the northern rivers is doing well ; in the Tyne it continues to be particularly successful. and a great number of licenses have been taken oat to net fish. White fish of extremely tine quality is selling at Shields at 9d. per lb. There is a good supply of white fish in the northern ports. Some very fair quality of fish may be bought at ld. per lb.

The prisoner and the deceased were fellow apprentices to Mr. Edwards', grocer, of Gravesend, and on the 10th of March they were playing together when the prisoner took up a pistol that was on the chimneppieoe in the bedroom, presented it at the deceased, and fired and killed him. He exhibited the greatest sorrow and distress after the occurrence, and the unfortunate affair we+ clearly the result of an accident. The jury returned a verdict of .Not The commission for the county of Surrey will be opened to-day (Monday) at Croydon, tut the courts will not sit until Tuesday morning. The gaol calendar is very light, but it is said that an unusual number of civil causes will b.: entered for trial. It is not at all unusual at the assizes at this place for a couple of hundred causer to be entered, but when they are called on for trial nearly the whole of them turn out to be speculative, or " attorneys" actions, as they are termed, for the purpose of obtaining costs. NORFOLK CIRCUIT.— CAminuDGE, Auousr 2. (Before Mr. Justice Byles mil a Speci►l Jury.) HARDY r. VZSEY AND OTHERS. _ _ . Mr. Bulwer, Q.C. and Mr. Cockerel appeared for the plaintiff ; Mr. Q.C., Mr. Keane, Q.C., and Mr. Douglas Brown for the defendants. The plaintiff in this case was a small farmer and cork dealer, at Fenstanton, ant the defendants are the firm of Vesey and Co., bankers, at Huntingdon. The defendants have a branch bank at St. Ives, and in 1866 the plaintiff opened an account at that branch, which i managed by • Mr. *Vise, and this action was brought to recover damages in consequence of Mr. Wise having dishonoured the plaintiff's cheques, and having died° ed the state of his account. It appeared that the arrangements the plain tiff made when ho opened the account was that he was to be at liberty to overdraw to the extent of 1001. On the 24th December last the plaintiff's account was overdrawn to the extent of about 160/. ' and Mr. Wise sent for him and complained of it. The plaintiff said that at the market on that day he should take about 1401., which he would pay in. He was, however, disappointed by two or three of has customers, and only received 601., which he paid in. In the meantime four cheques had been presented, and Mr. Wise asked the plaintiff what he was to do about them. The plaintiff said that he would pay in SOL before the following Thursday, and Mr. Wise drew up an undertaking to that effect, which the plain tiff signed, and thereupon Mr. Wise agreed to honour the cheques; be afterwards, however, changed Ids mind, and sent to the plaintiff to say that he must act security. This the plaintiff declined to do, and Mr. Wise then sent for • person of the name of Mutton, • money lender, and asked him to urge the plaintiff to give the bank some security. The plaintiff declined to have anything to do with Mutton, and as no security was given the cheques were dishonoured. In consequence of the dishonour of the cheques and Mutton and other persona learning the state of the plaintiff's affairs the plaintiff's credit was much injured, and he was obliged to compound *with his creditors. The defendant's ease was that Mr. Wise never agreed to honour the cheques in question, but absolutely refused d to do so unless some security was given or the debt to the bunk reduced, and that Mutton was a friend of the plaintiff ; and Mr. Wise only sent for him in a friendly spirit to ask him to use his influence with the plaintiff to prevail on him to give security to the bank and avert the necessity of dishonouring the cheques. After a protracted trial, which occupied the greater pert of the day, the jury stopped further evidence being given on behalf of the defendants. Mr. Ilulwer replied for the plaintiff, after which the jury, without waiting for the summing up of the learned judge, returned their verdict for the defendants. AUGUMT 3. c 110.4 . 64 r. THE GREW NORTHERN RAI LWAY COMPANY. 2 Mr. Keane, Q.C., and Mr. D. Brown appeared (or the plaintiff ; Mr. O'Malley, Q.C., and Mr. Metcalfe for the defendants. The plaintiff in this action was a corn and seed mer chant at Wisbeach, and the action was brought to recover compensation for personal injuries sustained by the plain tiff in an accident which occurred at Hitchin on the 20th of August last. The defendants paid into court 2001. The only question between the parties was as to the ex tent of the injuries sustained b the plaintiff. The plain tiff and his medical men alleg ed that he had received an injury in the spine which would be permanent, but it appeared that shortly after the accident the plaintiff was at a fire and fell into a saw-pit and broke his collar bone, and Dr. Paget, the witness called by the defendants, was of opinion that if the plaintiff had received any serious injury to his spine in the railway accident it must have been much aggravated by the fall into the pit, and that the probability was that if the spine was injured at all it was injured by the fall. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for 300/. beyond the amount paid into court. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—MANcaEsTEn, Ara. 3. Caown Coust—(Before Mr. Justice Montagu Smith.) they walked away for the purpose. Very soon afterwards, however, she informed the officer that he might as well take her to the police nation, as she had made away with Ler child. At the station-house Conlin arid Farrell com menced to ask her as to how she had disposed of the body, upon which Grioe, the inspect o r of police on duty, can- Booed the prisoner that what abs might say would he takes down in writing, and might be used against her, and then received her answer in the following words : " I have never been easy mind since I did it. I threw the child into the Old Harbour at half-past Nix o'clock. I went over the North Bridge and turned round the garrison aide a little way, and threw it in." Subsequently, to klizabeth Wood, the female searcher at Hull, the prisoner said in reference to a baby's body binder which was found upon her, "It was the baby's. I took its clothes off before I put it in. I have been so unkindly treated by the young man's friends that they have driven me to it. I was So miserable I did not are what I did." On the 14th of April the body of the missing child was found at Brough Haven, which is ten or twelve n.ilea from Hull, and where it is presumed it had been taken by the tide which flows through the Old Harbour, through the river Hull. A post-mortem examination of the body of the child disclosed certain bruises which were by the surgeon alleged to have been made before death, and from the effect of these and suffocation by drowning the child had died. Mr. C. Thompson cross-examined Mr. Jackson, the surgeon who examined the body, a.s to the predisposition of females recently confined to puerperal monomania, and gained Lis salient to the correctness of Dr. Taylor's views upon this point. He also elicited from the witness Conlin the statement that before the commission of the murder the prisoner had appeared low and exceedingly depressed, and that besides she had bad an aunt who had been insane, whilst she also had a brother who was not so sharp as other people. He based his defence upon these admissions, and the allegation that there was not the slightest evidence to show that the prisoner was embued with malice aforethought, without which feeling her offence would not amount to murder. The jury, after a lengthened absence, returned into court with a verdict of Gouty, stly recommending the risoner to mercy, on the ground of rong her youth and the distressed circumstances in which she was placed. The learned judge then passed sentence of death in the usual way. The prisoner, though impressed with a due sense of her awful position, did not manifest any emotion when sentenced. THE QUEEN C.

The Prisoner—l hope you will, my lord, instead of sending ale to gaol. The Judge—l shall not, for I find you have bad four years of penal servitude, and it hu done you no good. I am not sure that you will not find imprisonment more irksome to you. Prisoner—Not at all, my lord ; but I shall come here again as soon as ever I get out. The Judge—l am only afraid you take a true estimate of yourself, but I hope you may be in the hands of those who will bring you into a better frame of mind. Prisoner—They never will, my lord, not in this country. The Judge—The sentence is that you be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for 15 calendar months. (Before Chief Justice Bovill.) GREENWOOD V.

YORK, AVOCB7 Citovnt Counr.—(Before Mr. Baron Pigott.) --• • - Elizakth Nelson, 20, was charged with the wilful mur der of her child, named Nicholas Nelson, at Hull, on the 24th March last. Mr. P. Thompson prosecuted ; and Mr. C. Thompson (by order of the learned judge) defended the prisoner. It appeared that on the 17th February but the prisoner neve birth to an illegitimate male child, in the Sculcoates Union, at Hull. She left there, having the infant with her, on the 15th of the following March. About this tune she arrived at the house of a woman named Ellen Conlin, of No. 4, Long-entry, Salthouse-lane, Hull, and took lodg ings. There, together with her infant, she stayed nine days, or until the gird March. The prisoner subse quently left the house, and on the 24th Conlin met her in Hull without the child. She asked her where it was, and the prisoner said she was going to a young woman's house to fetch it. Conlin promised to wait until she brought it, but she did not return. The next time Conlin saw her was on the '2!tth March in New George-street, when she asked her if the child was dead. The prisoner replied that it was, and that she was going to bury it. Conlin asked this question because she had heard that the prisoner had made away with it ; and consequently she answered the prisoner that she would not believe it until she saw it. Again the pri soner, by a simple stratagem, got away from the company of witness, but the latter saw her again the same day, when witness had in her company a woman named Farrell. The prisoner was again asked to produce her child, and she said she would show it to Conlin, but not to Ferrell. She, however, made no attempt to do so, ►nd a policeman coming up be was informed of the suspicion which existed, that the prisoner had made away with her infant. She denied the allegatior, hut, on being asked to show the child to the policeman, THE POLICE COURT& MARYLEBONK Arthur Proems!, aged about fourteen, was charged with, stealing a cash-box containing 10/. and some papers. The prisoner was a page boy at RS, Marylebone-road, where Mr. Dixon, an officer in the merchant service, was staying. On the 17th of last month he missed the cash-box, the money, and some valuable papers, such as his discharges and characters, and also his certificates of competency. The prisoner, who had absconded, was captured on the previous day, and from what he said the cash-box contain ing the papers only was found behind a stove in an out house at the rear of the house. King, iK D, said the prisoner bad formerly been in the service of a surgeon-dentist, and from that place surgical instruments had frequently been missed. Search was made for them, but they could not be found. In his drawer was found the publications of the "Exploits of Dick Terpin," " Adventures of the Road," "The Boy Pirate," and other similar publications. Ile was discharged from his situa tion, and afterwards some of the missing property was found secreted in different parts of the house. After that be succeeded by some means in obtaining a situation in an earl's family, and from that ho was discharged for some offence. Mr. Mansfield remanded the prisoner. MARKETS. COTTON.—LirEstPunt, ALGIST 3.—We have had a rather quieter market to-day, and with more dl .Rion to sell prices are Irregular and somewhat easier. The sales are 3,000 haler, of which 2,0u0 are for export sod speculation. COTTON 0000 .—M A/WRESTS:R. grocer 3.—The market for cloths and yarns during the past week hsts been Onto( un relieved dulness. The demand fur India has been small, and the buyers for the home trade continue to operate only on a limited scale. Ibe tendency of prices has been downward, but still cotton hat only given way about per lb. during the month, and cotton goods, though fully ea much lower, do not attract business. The quantity of cotton do Liverpool Is rather under the stock at this time last year, but 100.000 bales are doe from India, and another 100,000 balm are due about the oth in slant, so that there le little temptation to speculation. The quantity of yarns and cloths produced is clearly in excess of the demand, and spinners and manufacturers will have to reduce the supply by resorting to short time or by throwing machinery out of use. The demand for all quarters Is on a limited scale, and there is no prospect at present of an improvement for any market which holds out a hope of an Increased and healthy business. WOOLLE.N.-4ALDS, A cousT s. —There has been an Improve ment In the attendairc of buyers In the cloth halls this morn ing, and the amount of hualness transacted has been upon the increase. A few representatives of Manchester and Scotch houses have been present, along with the usual appearance of Leeds merchants, and although they have not shown an inclina tion to speculate to a Large taunt, their puri hams have, Dover- Useless, been upon a more estemive scale than of late. There has been a tolerahly good business done in better close tweeds, chiefly in Angola and all-wool warps, which are at present in good demand, and form the main attraction In this market. A e• parcels of check coatings have also changed hands, the pat terns mostly in request being of a small and broken description. Heirlists In the white hall have varied hat little, a few parcels of medium qualities have been transferred, but the Inquiries for better clam goods have not been very numerous. In the heavier fabrics beavers have held the best position, plain and fancy colours being In request. A few transactions have also taken place in witnos, but not to a large amount. Prices remain with out any perceptible alteration. WOOL AND WORSTElL—Biinernatf, Mincer S.—There has been only a very limited business done in wool during the past week. Apprehension of conrniestal war caused some degree of gloom at the beginning of the week, and caused great flatness in the wool market ; but this fear subsided as the week atleanced, and there was more disposit ma to operate, although the amount of business done was only very small in the aLgregate. There is • general Impression that quotations have reached the lowest point, and holders arc quite content to hold their limited stocks. Buyers have consequently had to pay fully last week's rates, and in some cases a slight advance. Bright haired sorts continue most in demand, while inferior sorts are still neglected. There is no improvement in the worsted yarn branch. The shipping merchants are very slow in their operations, and do a very re stricted ho Mese A slight business has been done mostly In lustre yarns, jeuappes, and 40's for Russia. Coloured and other fL ds r: e sre , spun fur home use, e also rather more in demand. are still depressed, with a softening tendency In ensue sorts. The market for goods continues equally torpid.

The prisoner, who seemed to feel his peeition very acutely, pleaded not ptlty on being ar raigned, but subsequently withdrew his plea and pleMed guilty to all the charges except those of forgery. These were then withdrawn by the counsel for the prosecution, and the prisoner was sentenced to 16 months' imprison. went. Several witnesses were called who had known the prisoner for more than twenty years, and who pre him it high character as " a sober, honest, and industrious man;" and, in passing sentence, Mr. Justice Mellor said this cir cumstance had inclined him to inflict so slight a punish ment.
