• ,ftlarting irctritigena. THE DONCASTER SEPTEMBER MEETING. TO THE KDITOE OS THE =Pine& SIR,—It is quite a treat, after the wretched hasinesa at the " holiday" meetings held of late—sacred to "-'"welahers," barefaced " ropers, ' and the light-fingered brigade—to review the prospect+ of the next few weeks. From henceforth, until the Cambridgeshire is decided, there will be nothing but " greet events " to engross attention, and after Dons:arise I anticipate seeing almost as much noise made about the Middle Park Plate, a prise the like of which no two-year-olds ever contorted, as the slassarewitch. The northern gathering is, however, one d those celebrations before which everything else muat give way for the time being, as from the moment the alarm is sounded to clear the course for the Fitrwilliam, one a the few " trial" races worthy . of the name, until the last " w. o." comes on the taps', the excitement is never allowed to flag ; and even the Cesarewitch and Cambridge shire good things will not bear discussing until after the HI Lager. Very to s tithe thirty items in the programm e can he slurred over us coming under the distinction of small Z]]sees ; and it is a noteworthy fact (and one people in high would do well to think ever) that out of only twelve laces under • distance of a mile, six are for two-year-olds Gay, and there is but one spin under six furlongs. Even juveniles have to run a mile in half a dozen instances, and May are admissible for the opening Fitzwilliam, wherein the three-year-olds have to give them 311 b, and the fours 441 b ; but as the stake does not close until Monday even ing, it cannot be determined now whether an old or a young one will win. The /levied Plate, an all-aged spin from the Red House (about 8 fur.), is just as hard to legis late upon, for both The Duke and Coup d'Etat will be absentees—with Cranbury also, probably—and the 1016 penalty may prove a stopper to Vespasuar. It is, too, hard to tell what T. Dawson's clique will do battle with, when they have no fewer than bee two-year-olds in the race under orders for Doncaster, viz., Corporal, 7st 51b ; Child of the Islands , tat ; Ha rrogate, 7st ; lona, fist 10Ib ; and Mendicant, 6st 51b ; and if one of these light weights is of any account, even Magician, 3 yrs, Bst 101 b, must be as good as ever he wee to beat it. Dangerous Damson has likewise bestowed pleutly of patronage on the soils Doncaster Plate, a handicap in which Norwood looks a great card, on his Brighton form, Masai:late, at Sat 101 b, standing just as well in my estimation, if he should be wanted instead ; and those who row in with the stable may not have rauoh to fear beyond Wadlow's champion (Jack o' Lantern Is no myth at 7st 111 b), and old Ackworth. Everything of Daemon's has "paid" for the Great York shire Handing), St. Leger course, except Harry Braileford, 4 yrs, 7st 1' b, and be is not at all out of the hunt, presuming there were grounds for the peppering recently administered to Windham, Salpinctes, and others eerie' basked. Even Nu, who l ooks almost a " certainty" at fiat 91b, seems in the balance, and if the money should go the wrong way with her and Caithness too, Harry will only be second to War, • powerful colt that will rather prefer the ground being heavy. All it is necessary to ob serve conorning the Champeipm is, that Achievement is going to ran well and unpenalmed ; and there should be a better race for the Filly Stakes, when Sour de Chariot,Problem, Minster Bell, and the like, have to meet, allow ing the first-named is worth standing. The majority of those in the colts' prise, the Glasgow, are " dark," and Grand Cross will probably give Friponnier some trouble if be should make his debut, if he cannot quite beat the Mexican blue. The improving Mandrake is in the Municipal the first race of the St. Leger (ley ; bu t the brother to Asoham may show form in the Champagne to put him in jeopardy, and there are people who think something of another stranger, Mr. Merry's Sunflower filly. J. Day's and T. Dawson's stable can do some mischief in the Handicap Sweep, Romney and lona being turned loose, whilst it is said the Marquis of Hastings has a rare " hot 'un" in re serve for this autumn ; and I have again to commend T. Dawson to the notice of your readers in connexion with the Corporation Plate, a mile contest he has half-admen entered for, including Messmate, although Liddirsgton has a rare chance given him of making a successful reap pearance on the turf. THE Sr. LEGIE has never been more ill-treated by the menita of the three-year-old races preceding it than this year, for there is not s filly worth pulling out in the race, all that the Mayonaiae filly and Repulse can do being to make running for their companions, Savernake and Rustic ; and although Nespe•ian is to do duty as pioneer far the favourite, and there us talk of the dark Artesian ands brute called Assassin (sold out of the Lord Lyon stable for • mere song) swelling the field—as one or two others may do, for the fun of the thing—the contest will depend entirely between the following: Ridden by Ridden by lord Lyon Custance I Kt. of the Crescent Norman &remake Challoner Westwick Rustic Fordhsm I PodslEas Strathconan Snowden JAL Glasgow's roan French The tremendous finish fortbe Derby, followed by Rustic's defeat of Lord Lyon at Ascot, then Westwick 's sudden display of form at Stockton and York, and the crowning mystery of the lot, the triumph of Strathconan over Rustic and Westwick in the Great Yorkshire Stakes, have all been taken hold of as reasons why the favourite is not bound to win ; and yet he is as hard to back as Gladiateur was the Tattersall's before his St. Leger—a hint that plainly signifies what the talent thinks of him. When beaten it is well known he was amiss—though not so much amiss as Savernake ap peared to be for weeks after the Derby, when there were Makes, including a walk over or two, amounting to 9,0001. eampletely at his mercy, not one of which could he be brought out for. He may be sound and well again by this time, still it is not on the cards that he is the same horse be was ou the Derby day, and ifl)ie has really been tried, the market betrays that he has been found fearfully want ing. Rustic I always believed to be a " St. Leger horse" until his owner expressed himself satisfied he could not stay, an opinion the York running partially confirmed, for he was beaten easily by Strathconan, after hissing his race apparently in hand a quarter of a mile from home. His falling off, nevertheless', may have been the result of his want of condition, and I should be very loth to stand against him for a " place. At the same time, there is no doubt Strath conan was abort of preparation, too, at York, as Watson had only commenced to screw him up just before Stockton, whereat his performance could not be right, as those who saw him beat War at Epsom, and run so forward in the Derby, can easily understand. In every defeat I have seen him take he has looked very like a winner in one part of the race but apparently declined on his own account to struggle home ; and as new tactics (waiting) were adopted with him at York, who knows but that ho is the great horse they thought him from the first at Richmond Besides Rustic, he best Westwick, War, and Leybourne a long way on the Kuavesmire mile and three-quarters, and allowing for Westroick's being stale at the time, I do not see how he is not entitled to take Savernake's place as the second beat to Lord Lyon. Westvrick's home trial 71b better than War—is' not tempting enough to stand upon, and he must improve upon that as much as Knight of the Crescent must upon his Two Thousand and Derby form for John Scott to win his seventeenth St. Leger on Wednesday next. All manner of reports are in circula tion to the detriment off Podargns, who is a good horse, nevertheless, when ho is Podargus—a better character than could ever be given to Lord Glasgow's nameless son of the nameless, one, who neither last year nor this climbed within 211 b of the top of the tree. In fact, famous as the St. Leger is for upsetting " public running", there is no reason why I should not " stand by my friend," Lord Lyon, to emulate " the West " and " the mighty French man," and add the last of the great three-year-old races to his Two Thousand and Derby tnumphs, though his friends may be haunted by • grey ghost until the winning number is hoisted. Thursday's and Friday's closed races must all depend upon how matters result previously, and Friday's especially, seeing they are between three-year-olds many of which -will have to run in the St. Leger. As the Cup is likely to be an important affair this year, with Elland (or Lord Lyon) and Tormentor certain to run, I shall send a few hints for the last day after the great event is decided, and conclude for the present with very few remarks upon Thursday's programme. The Mile Two-yearold Sweep stakes is s puzzler, with Plaudit not likely to run, nor Rose either ; for the 71b and 51b penalties of the beat of the other public horses, Friponnier and Knight of the Garter, are a mution to let them alone, whilst they do say the " dark " Master Butterfly, /Incas, Enchanteur, tic., are motto startle wrjust yet ; and perhaps Tuesday's proceedings will direct attention to the winner. There is no excuse for Rustic over the Eglinton, as the distance is only a mile, and if he is the fastest horse of his year he can give the three stone required to the two-year olds that may happen to have run so badly as to receive so much from him. The St. Leger will tell what are the Knight of the Crescent's pretensions to the Scarborough Stakes, Repulse, Lochiel, Artesian, and Duke of York being the only taking names after his ; but if Artesian is not deemed too good to lose his maidenhood for 7d1., be will be allowed to walk over for the Zetland. Three of T. Dawson's accepted for the Cleveland—Norwood, Holstein, and Messmate—who are all well in, and the best will have to be watched ; but here Fobert looks equally threaten ing, with Centaur or East Lynn, and the former should win a race or two at the meeting ; whilst there is a turn of speed about John Dawson's King . Charming I like much. These three stables are very likely to bring forth the winner of the Portland Plate, especially if they con tain aught better than C as t a n e t, II Rd Gelantuomo, and Mesemate, who are, with Magician, the " best in," on this and last year's beat form.—l am, ha, METEOR. TATTERSALL'S.-SATURDAY. The ezpe.llency of opening the Suloctiption Room on the Estonia, Immediately preceding the Doncaster week was proved by the munevoui attendance to-day ; and, as may be imagined, there was no lack of speculation on the various forthcoming events. For the Great Yot Witte Handicap, the support given to War wee ao decided that not only was he backed and desired to be backed for large amounts, but there was scarcely any other horse's name mentioned, and although at first 10 to 1 was ac cepted about Nu, hackers afterwards fought particularly shy of her. Yoe the At. Leger, Lord Lyon still held his own against all eosin. The desire so back hint wee more manliest than ever ens speculator offered to lay 600 to 4011, and thousands of pounds would hare been Invested at that price had the chance been open gavernake was at one period of the afternoon befriended at 9 to f and at 6 to 1, but at the close the last man thud oddswereoffered without' response.

In March last the defendant wished the preeemiters to extend his,credit, and in order to induce them to do so, brought with him a document k mrporting to be a bal ance-sheet representiug the state of his affairs. That document showed a clear balance in the defendant's favour of 1,7031. 19s. &L This state- ment was shown to Mr. Felix Whittome, the gentle man who has charge of that department, and was taken by him to Mr. Howes, one of the partners, and the result was that the extended credit was ordered. In July defen dant sent in an order for 3001. worth of flannel, and that being so large an order, and not having the right quanti ties in stook, they sent only 1661. 3a. 6d. worth. Mr. Whittome went to see him, and told him he bad given • very unusual order for flannel, and'he replied that his busi ness was progressing very satiefactorily, having increased within the last six months about 8001. The total amount of goods he had had from March up to August 10 was 1,4701., and his payments had been 1,1161., making an in crease of indebtedness of 4001. On the 29th of August Messrs. Cook and Son received a notice from the account ants, stating that the defendant was in difficulties, and thereupon Mr. Whittome waited upon him. He expressed his surprise that the defendant had not consulted the firm on the subject of his difficulties, and he replied he had not su ffi cient moral courage to do it They then went to see Mr. Howes, and on the way back Mr. Whit tome asked him what his liabilities were, and he said he believed they amounted to 11,0001., at which he expressed his great surprise, as the previous March the balance sheet had shown it to be lees than 4,000 L, and he asked him how he accounted for the deficiency. The defendant said he night as well tell him all about it, es he would be sure to find it out. The balance-sheet he had given him was a fraudulent one, both as regarded assets and liabilities. The stock was represented as being about 5001. or 6001. more than it was, and the liabilities were some 7001. or 8001. more than they were stated to be. Of this amount he said he bed borrowed 4001. from the Sovereign or some other insurance office, and about 3001. or 4001. from his father. He further Wed that he did not think a false balance-sheet was anything so extraordinary, as many others did it. Mr. Howes corroborated the above evidence, and said that the debts for goods amounted to about 1,3001., and the cash account to 7001., but they were amply secured with regard to the latter amount The evidence of Mr. Rabbidge the accountant, stated that the defendant's books sho wedi that on the 10th of February there was • balance of 1,7931. Ils. Bd. against him. On the 29th of August the trade debts were about 12,0001., and the total debts 14,0001. The assets were about 8,000/., leaving a deficiency of about 6,0001. Mr. Wm. J. Ellis, manager of the Fore-street Ware holm Company, then entered upon a similar charge,. and ' stated that in consequence of the fraudulent balance ' sheet, defendant's account was enlarged from • discount to a drawing account. The defendant was committed for trial, but admitted to ; bail in two sureties of 5001. each, and himself in 1,000/. John Win Wilson, aged 31. a doctor of medicine, re siding at 15, fitonefield•street, Islington, was charged with committing an assault on George Harvey, a cab driver. According to the statement of the prosecutor, the prisoner got into his cab, and whilst the cab was going at the rate of between six and seven miles an hour be got out and walked off without paying his cab fare. The cabman followed him and asked for his fare, but the prisoner, instead of paying him, hit him three heavy blows on the head with his umbrella. The prisoner afterwards gave him a wrong address card, but the complainant followed him, and ascertained his proper address. The same night the cab man fell ill with pains in his head, and he was attended by i a surgeon, who said be was su ff ering from concussion of the brain.' He became so bad that he had to be removed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital,;where he was confined for some weeks, part of the time unoonecious. Dr. Black said he could not attribute the complainant's illness to blows or other external causes ; he should say that it was constitutional. He saw no marks of violence on the complainant. The complainant's illness was curable, and had given way to the treatment he had pursued. The complainant said that he had never been ill before but once, and that was with the painters' colic eight or nine years ago. Itr.Nash, for the defence, hoped that the magistrate would, after the evidence of hr. Black, not think of send ing the case to the sessions for trial, but would deal with it, if he believed the cabman, as a case of common assault, and inflict a small penalty. Me was instructed to say that the complainant behaved in a rude and insolent manner towards the defendant. He knocked his stethoscope out of his band, trod on it, and broke it, and made use of bad la r.rEyncourt said that the defendant gave a wrong card, and if he had known that he had been in the right he would have taken care to have given his proper card. If the cabman had done what it was represented, he held the doctor would at once have come to this court and taken proceedings against him, but he did nothing of the sort, and allowed the matter as far as he was concerned to slumber. Dr. Wilson was ordered to pay a fine of 40a. and 40s. costa, or in default of payment a month', imprison. ment with hard labour in the House of Correction. The fine and costs were at once paid. Joseph Ploy, the owner of the house No. 6, Dorset street, Essex-road, Islington, was summoned by Mr. George Clark, inspector of nuisances and sanitary in spector, on behalf of the vestry of the parish of St. Mary, Islington, for having the house so overcrowded as to be dangerous or prejudicial to health. Mr. Clark, inspector of nuisances of Islington, said that he visited the house, No. 6, Dorset street, Islington, said found it occupied by two families, One family occupied two room' down stairs and a back room on the first door, and that family con sisted of seven persons. Upon measuring the rooms be found that there was only 176 cubic feet of air for each person, the minimum allowed being 300. The front room on the first Boor was occupied by five persons, and the measurement only gave 718 feet for each parson. The rooms were dirty, and smelt very close and bad. There were other houses in the same street that were overcrowded. rpenalt3 7 of 20.. and costs was imposed. MARYLEBONE. Horatio Cracknell and Robert Walker, decently dressed lads, aged respectively 18 and 19 years, were charged with having attempted to extort money from Dr. Juler, of James-street, Westbourne-terrace, under threat of publicly charging him with the commission of an in famous crime. It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor—who is a physician of considerable practice, and one of the visit ing surgeons of St. Mary's Hospital, Paddington—that the prisoner Cracknell was an outd o or servant of his eon's time since, but having been dismissed, recently applied for a re commendation, which Dr. Juler refused. On Wednesday evening, after the return of Dr. Juler from church, the pri soners called at his house, and were shown into the front parlour. Walker said his cousin had come to speak to the doctor about what took place some time ego. Prosecutor said, " What do you mean r Craoknell replied, " You know what I mean." Walker then said, " The fact is, sir, we come to speak to you about what took place between you and my cousin, and we want some explanation." At the end of a long interview, during which the prisoners charged the prosecutor with an infamous offence, and claimed money to secure their silence , they left with a pro mise to come hack on the Friday evening. They called at the appointed hour—eight o'clock--and were shown into the front drawing-room, between which and the back apartment Dr. Juler's son was concealed in the folds of curtains, but in such a position that he could hear and partly see what was going on in the front room. A lengthened conversation ensued between Dr. Juler and the prisoners, in which Cracknell reiterated the charges, stating that the offence had been fre quently committed. A considerable time was occupied in arranging the amount of money which would secure the silence of the prisoners, and eventually a document was drawn up by Cracknell and signed by him and Walker, to the effect that they solemnly pledged themselves never to divulge what they knew of Dr. Juler in consideration of receiving from him the sum of 401. 'The moment the paper was signed, the prosecutor said, " Edward, will you witness this ?" and immediately the curtains were drawn aside, and Mr. Jaler, junior, came forth. All was con fusion for an instant, Cracknell holding the document with trembling hand, and Walker endeavouring to snatch it from him. The doctor's son, however, was too quick for him, and seized the paper, which be put in his pocket. Cracknell said to Walker, " I told you it would come to this before we came in." Dr. Juler sent for a constable, and gave the prisoners into custody. In the course of the pro secutor's examination, which lasted two hours, he swore that there waa not a shadow of truth in the allegations made against hint. The prisoners were remanded. LAMBETH. FJliam James Burton, Z 3, and John Hayes, 19, con victed thieves, were placed at the bar on the following charge. Sergeant Hammond, 10 W, laid that at half-past four o'clock that morning, while going his rounds on honteback, he met the prisoners on Streatham-common. They said they had been to Sydenimm to see a friend, and wanted to go to Vauxhall, but had lost their way. Observing that they had a bulky appearance he suspected them, end offered to accompany them so far as to put them into their proper way, and went along until he met a constable and took them into custody. On searching one of them he found a lady's cloak inside his trowsers. He had also in his pos session a brown silk umbrella with an ivory handle, a valuable plated spirit-lamp, two silver-top inkstands, and a silver teaspoon with the initial Son the handle. The account the prisoners have of the property was that they bad picked up the things on Streatham-common, but he (witness) had no doubt they formed a portion of the pro duos of a burglary. The prisoners were accordingly remanded. Mr. Charks Collins, who was described as a ritaltster, was charged with uttering two cheques, and obtaining their amount with a guilty knowledge. From the evidence it appeared that in June last Mrs. Risk, a widow, changed • cheque for the prisoner for 41. lba, drawn by Joseph Neale and Co. on Messrs. Adam Nash and Co., of Wil brook, City, On the 3rd of June • similar cheque was cashed by Mr. Jennings, of the Pine Apple 141151 k-house, whose house the prisoner had been in the habit of visiting. For the defence a person named Allen was tolled, tehp described himself as a traveller to Messrs. Node and Co. ladies" bair brush ntanufseturent, 163, Maud, and said the cheques in question bad been paid to Mtn and cubed by the prisoner. sErrrNa IN LONDON.--SATuanAL The clubs were numerously attended to-day, and speculation was general and active. There was indeed plenty of employment furnished, not only by the events to be decided in the forth coming week, but by the comparatively distant Otharewitch. For the Great Yorkshire Handicap, War and Nn were in such strong foroe as to monopolist the betting between them. The first named was freely backed at lessening prices up to 6 to 1, which odds were scarcely obtainable at the cloth, while Nu was also supported for good money, 600 to 100 being accepted in one bet, and several m ino r transactions were booked on the same terms. Nothing else beyond this pair appeared to be fancied, liberal offers against the others entered for the race going begging, notably 20 to 1 Salpinctes, who until to-day had hold a prominent place in the quotations. For the Bt. Leger, Lord Lyon was all the rage, and 6 to 4 was laid on him by those who seldom make a mistake. Savernake appeared to have " pulsed a better night," 5 to 1 being accepted freely, and at the apish one commissioner, who wanted to thck the horse, could find no one to lay against him. thistle met with tame support, and left off at 100 to 12 offered. The price against Strathconan was Ws stereotyped one of 100 to & The odds of 2.5 to 1 each were offered against Weetwick and Knight of the Crescent, and both of them were freely backed for piaci". Fodergus found a friend at 40 to 1, and so brought up the rear rank. For the thearewitch, Thalia took the lead, and was heavitylnvested upon at 25 to 1, the ether horses named being severally entrusted with respectable sums.

Tim criminal business of the county was continued on Saturday at the Sessions House, Clerkenwell-green. The only magistrate on the bench vria Mr. Charles White. John Connor, 21, ThonlasJohnstone,23, andJohnßartlett, 43, were severally indicted—Connor and Johnstone for stealing 441 b. of lead, the property of Patrick and Co., their masters, and Bartlett for receiving the same, well knowing it to have been stolen. Bartlett surrendered in discharge of his bail, the others were in onetody. Mr. Cooper prosecuted ; Mr. M. Williams appeared for Bartlett. The other. were undefended. . . - - The prosecutors were Messrs. Patrick and Sons, builders, of Westminster-road, and they were constructing a new building at Knightsbridge, where Johnstone and Connor were employed as labourers and scadoldmen. On the 2Cird of August three rolls of lead were placed on the building for the purpose of farming the gutters, and on that day the lead was missing. It was stated that a workman who wu engaged near the place heard a heavy fall resembling the fall of lead, and some time afterwards three men were seen carrying a large bundle, and they were traced to Bartlett's shop, in New-mad, Chelsea. The next day a policeman went to Bartlett's shop, and ho denied having purchased any lead of the prisoners. A small quantity of lad was found there but the identity of it failed. Mr. Bevjeant Dow acid there was not sufficient evi dence, and under his ction the jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. (Before Mr. Payne.) . . . James Wilkinson, 30, carpenter, was indicted for steal ing 11. the money of Stephen Pu sey, in • dwelling-house. The prisoner, who is a cunning-looking fellow, pleaded not guilty. Mr. Thomas Stephen Pussy said he lived with his father, the landlord of the World's End Tavern, Chelsea. About half-past two o'clock on Thursday, the 16th ult., the pri soner came into their bar and had something to drink. He bad the stick (produced), with something white on the end of it. He observed him trying to pat the end with the white on into a glees, which was on a small shelf, about six feet from the counter. There were some eover in it. Prisoner observed witness coming towards him, and in • great hurry he drew the stick away, and one of the sovere*ns dropped from it on to the ground. ',Minn picked it up and put it into the glass again. Prisoner ran off, and witness ran after him and overtook him. With the assistance of the barman he was brought back. Witness asked him what he bad been doing, and Ise made no reply but trembled violently. The stick, which he had still in his band, had a piece of wire and a piece of putty fastened on to the end. Publicans bad been plundered to • greet extent by such artful persons as the prisoner. John Bonney, 164 T, said he received charge of the pri soner ; he denied all knowledge of stealing a sovereign, or attempting to do so. When called upon by Mr. Hodgkinaon (the clerk), The prisoner repeated the statement he made before the magistrate, viz., that he knew nothing at all about it. Mr. Payne, after commenting upon the prisoner's artful ness, sentenced him to be imprisoned and kept to bard labour for 12 calendar months. Walter Peaver, a respectable-looking man, surrendered, he having been at large upon his own recognisanoes, to answer a charge of stealing • watch from Mary Jane Hastier. The defendant, who defended himself, pleaded not guilty. The prolecntrix, living at No. 9, Bloomsbury-street, said her watch was safe in her room just before the prisoner, who has a workshop at the back of the house, cams into it on the 3rd of August to measure a looking-glass for some brackets. Shortly after he wee gone she missed her watch, and immediately gave information to the police and charged the defendant with stealing it, which he stoutly denied. The prisoner, who is • man of considerable intelli gence, cross-examined the prosecutrix as to her previous life, and her answers were by no means satisfactory. He then called witnesses who had dealings with her, and they said they would not believe her on her oath. He after wards called witnesses who proved that he was an honest, hard-working man. The jury, without hearing the summing up, said they had all made up their minds to acquit the prisoner. Mr. Payne said be quite agreed with the verdict. The prisoner thanked the jury, and hoped they had acquitted him honourably. Defendant was then discharged. It may be stated, in fairness to the accused, that the prosecutrix admitted she had led anything but • moral life. Rosa Field, 28, described as of no occupation, was in dicted for stealing a watch and other articles from the person of Benjamin Watts. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. The prosecutor met the prisoner, who asked him to have something to drink, which he did. He lost his watch and some other article while in her company, and it was con clusively proved that the must have been the thief. The jury found her ditty. Mrs. Howe, one of the principal warden of the female prison at Westminster, proved that the prisoner was an old thief, and had before been convicted of felony. Mr. Payne sentenced her to two years' imprisonment with hard labour. _ _ _ . . The Prisoner—l beg your pardon, my lord, I wish you would give me five years instead. I should be so very much obliged to you. Mr. Payne—Oh, no. Take her away. We do not sit here to accommodate prisoners. The prisoner was then removed, looking disappointed at the result of her application for penal servitude. - - - Joseph Payne, 42, blacksmith, was indicted for stealing 10/., the moneys of John Thomas. The prosecutor said he lived at No. 47, Model-buildings, City Garden-row, and had no occupation. He had pre viously known the prisoner. On the morning of the 29th of August be was removing his goods, and the prisoner assisted him in doing so. He moved a chest of drawers for prosecutor from a cart to his room, and there were ten sovereigns in one of the &ewers. He had seen them safe there two or three hours before. The drawers were carried up into the room separately. The money was rolled up in paper, and after the prisoner was gone the money was missed. The prisoner was not seen by him again until he was brought by a policeman. The carman unlocked the drawers. All the money was marked, as he marked it himself about the early part of the month of August, and he always marked his money. The seven sovereigns produced were amongst those he marked. _ . . . . .----.----. Police-oonstable George Harris, 276 0, said that from in formation received be vent to a public-house in Maccles field-street, and from there he went to the prisoner's lodg ings in City Garden-row. The priainer jumped out of win dow when ha went in, but witness went down stairs and found him under a board in the yard. He called in the prosecutor, and told the prisoner that he was charged with stealing ten sovereigns. He said that he had not got them. When asked why he had jumped out of the window, he said that it was to pursue a brother-in-law, who had st ruck his mother. John Baxter said be lived at No 29, Macclesfield-street, City-road, and was a licensed victualler. About five o'clock on the afternoon of the 20th of August the prisoner entered his house in a state of intoxication, and pulled out several sovereigns. Witness advised him to give them to him to take care of, and accordingly he gave him seven sovereigns, but he did not say where he got them from. He kept them in a separate till until the police-constable came, when be gave them to him. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. Mr. Payne sentenced him to hard labour for twelve month?. THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOUSE, A young fellow namelJoimeGek,Tras brought before Alderman Gabriel and Alderman Abbise, sitting in petty sessions, charged with stealing a barrow and a quantity of herrings and haddocks, the property of two poor men named Richardson and Bryant. It appeared that Richardson was a porter at Billingsgate market, and Bryant is a hard working fellow who keeps a fishstall in Clare-market. On the 25th of August Richard son employed the prisoner to go with his barrow and a quantity of fish worth 31. 10e. &L to Bryant's residence, and nothing more was seen of him until yesterday, when he again made his appearance at Billingsgate. Richardson asked him what he had done with the barrow and the fish, and he said he should tell him nothing about them, upon which a policeman was sent for and he was given into custody. The policeman asked him what had be come of the property, but he refused to give him any information respecting it, and all he said wee that he would " do " his punishment, and did not care a halfpenny for any one. It appeared that Bryant was a hardworking man with a large family, and the lose of the fish, he said, had almost " broke him up," and he was unable for a week to go to market, until some of his friends raised him a little money to enable him to do so. The other man, it appeared, also hired the barrow at the rate of a shilling a week, and he had been called upon to make it good by the owner. Both he and Bryant, it ap peared, had also lost a good deal of time in running about after the prisoner, but all they could hear of him was that he had been seen offering the harrow and the fish for sale in Kent-street for a sovereign. The bench said they considered the prisoner bad been guilty of a very cruel robbery, and they sentenced him to six months' imprisonment with hard labour. Alderman Gabriel said he thought this was a cane in which the funds of the poor-box might very well be applied, and, in consideration of the distress that had been brought upon the parties by the loss of their property, be directed that ten shillings should be given to Richardson to meet the value of the barrow, and 2/. to the other man to enable him to go to market again. The money was accordingly handed to them, sad they both expressed themselves exceedingly grateful for the kind assistance that was thus afforded them. GUILDHALL Mr. John Andrew Hoorpood, a linen-draper, 1111 charged on s summons with obtaining goods from Messrs. Cook. Son, and Co., of St. Paul's Churchyard, by false pretenoes. The dafendent and his brother were in badness as linte r= from 1882 till the latter died in 1886. The &- galled an lbw. Cask la aspiaaabst last, and Inspector Edmunds described the parties at 163, Strand, as a nest of swindlers, and the prisoner was remanded. tiOUTENfARIC. Mr. Trotnian, who extensive premises at 30, Green street, Friar-street, adjacent to the railway, where he car ries on the bone boiling and crushing Widnes., was sum moned by the vestry of St. George-the-Martyr, Southwark, for " that he did not keep a certain factory, workshop, or workplace occupied by him, in Green-street aforesaid, in • cleanly state, nor ventilated in such a manner as to render harmless, so far as practicable, the gases, vapours, and other impurities generated in the course of the work car ried on therein, that are a nuisance and injurious and den , gerous to health." Mr. Hirt, the vestry clerk, appeared to support the sum mons; end Mr. Metcalfe for the defendsnt. Mr. Metcalfe objected to the summons altogether, and contended that his worship had no jurisdiction in the matter under the clause of the act of parliament. Mr. Trotman's was not • factory or workshop within the mean ing of the act. He only carried on bone boiling and bone crushing. Mr. Hirt contended that these nuisances might be adju dicated under the act of parliament under which he was prosecuted. The business carried on by Mr. Trotman was injurious to the health of the neighboufood. Mr. Burcham told him that the act applied to work shops, factories, fro., being in • neglected and filthy gate so as to be injurious to the health of the persons em ployed in such places. He was of opinion that the wit ness oould not proceed further in the case, therefore the summons must be dismissed. In acting thus, he wished it to be known that he had every desire to do away with such intolerable nuisances, as they were abominable and filthy in the extreme. . Mr. Metcalfe assured his worship that Mr. Trotman was using every means to prevent any nuisance, aad in the course of a few days there would be no offensive smell emanating from his premises. Mr. Bambara was glad to hear that, and he hoped the gnt•cleaners and others would follow his example. The smell bad been so offensive that morning, that he could hardly remain in the court. ORKIINWICH. Mary Davis, aged it, a GlaWuy-71round young woman, giving her address 45, Chureb-street, Shorediteh, was charged with stealing a silver watch and gold shain, the property of Fanny Harrison, et 2, • -cottages, liender-street, New-cross. The proseoutrix said she had known the prisoner about six months, they having worked together at Mr. Lloyd's,32, Aldermanbury, City. Having met the prisoner, and finding she was out ot a Intuition, she took her home to her father and mother's house, when she received an invitation to tea on Monday last. At the ten table the prisoner made an ex cuse to wash her hands, and proceeded to her room for that purpose. At that time prosecutrix had her watch and chain in a box. On Wednesday she went to the box, and found that her watch and chain were miming. She afterwards heard from a fellow-worker that the prisoner had been seen, and, suspecting her of having taken the property during the time she was alone in the room, she gave information to the police, and the primmer was taken to the station. Police-constable BI ,124 P division, said be appre hended the prisoner at Heaton, and had ascertained that the chain had been pledged at a pawnbroker's at Hackney, and the watch in the Borough. Inquiries bad been at the address given by the prisoner, which was that of her parents, and it wen proved that the prisoner left home a fortnight since, and they (the parents) declined taking any notice of her. The prisoner, in reply to the magistrate, pleaded guilty, and Mr. Trail remanded her for further inquiry. MARKET& HARDWARE.—BIaMINGRAN, arm B.—There is some slight improvement in the trade of this town, chiefly arising from a slight accession of orders from the country. and the reports from the factors are rather more favour able in that respect ; it is thought that the reaction would have been greater but for the apprehension. that the un favourable weather may injure the crops still uagamered. The export trade continues dull, except u to the West Indies and the United States. The reduction in the rate of discount to 5 per cent. will improve the tone, but in all probability the timidity felt by the merchants about the extension of credits at present will tend to prevent the foreign trade regaining its normal state for some time. In most of the principal branches carried on here manufac turers are moderately well engaged, but they have no orders beforehand. SUGAR.—BRISTOL, Seer. 7.—The market has heen very dull throughout the week, and very few sales have been made. Prices Gd. to Is. lower. COTTON.—Lrvaavoor., Skim B.—We have had a fair demand to-day, but the market remains very quiet, and yesterday's prices are barely maintained. The sales are 10,000 bales, of which 3,000 are for export and speculation. COTTON GOODS.—lialcrsurint, Stn. 13.—The posi tion of the market is much what was indicated as probable this day week. The feeling that prices were too high, and which led to so much caution, however, has told rather more in the depression of the market than was antici pated. The pnoes of all descriptions of yarn have de clined. India mule yarn is id. per lb. down, while the lower counts of water twist are also , and some num bers above 20's are Id. per lb. cheaper. The Bolton class of yarns, made from long-stapled cotton, have given way to a greater extent even than that during the week, and sellers are found at 2d. to 3d. per lb. lower than last week. Some months ago, in consequence of an impression fos tered too successfully by interested parties that long stapled cotton would be comparatively scarce and dear, prices went up week after week, and merchants and manufacturers bought up yarns and goods made from them good deal to the neglect of goods made from India cotton. The result has been some heavy losses. Spinners and manu facturers who have passed through four years of scarcity in the raw material have learnt to economise their ben staples. It was an error to supposethat when American cotton became more plentiful manufacturers would use nothing else, as they had done before. The strong Indian staples, though short, can be worked in admixture with the American and other staples, without deterioration to the cloth, if only moderately used, and hence speculations based ou the converse of this fact have to some extent misled both cotton dealers and buyers of manufactured goods. The extremely coarse and worthless cloths, con taining little cotton and a good deal of size, which were the creations of a time of cotton famine, have nearly disa peared, but goods are made now, and are found suitable to some markets, which would never have been fabricated in former times. Times like those we have passed through always teach some lessons worth noting. The cloth market during the past week has not suffered to the same extent as that fur yarns. There has been very little business, and the. prices of skirtings and printers have gone down 3d. to 6d. Heavy goods are comparatively firmer, but all kinds tend downward, and buyers show an amount of caution which must continue to depress values. CORN.—Curnamoz, BErr. B.—With a good deal of rain during the week, and @bowers at market time to-day, wheat was 3a. to 4s. dearer. Wheat, 52e. Barley, 38s. to 40a. Beans, 45e. to 48s. Oats, new, 21s. to 25e.

Wlleat sold quickly, at an advance of Is. to is. 6d. per Carliale bushel; new oats were a good sale, at a reduction of 6d., and old at an advance of the same amount.

Small show of peas and beans, prices of which were unaltered. GUILDFORD, SEPT. &—The supply of wheat today was exceedingly limited, of spring corn moderate. Wheat was taken at an advance of from 2.. to 3s. per qr. upon the rates of last week. Barley was also in good demand at prices in favour of sellers. Wheat, 465. to 623. ; ditto, new, 48s. to 60s. ; barley, 36a. to 425. ; oats, 22a. to 28s. ; peas, 375. to 40s. _ Haarroan, SEPT. &—A larger supply of wheat today, the new in poor condition ; but tho wet weather sends juices upwards, and both new and old made is. to ls.

Oats, coarse, per qr., 16a. to 22a. ; ditto, fine, 325. LRICIteTIR, Barr. B.—The heavy rains of the peat week have seriously interfered with the progress of the harvest in this county. Accounts respecting barley are less favourable. In some places the shocks are ankle deep in water, and the quality of the samples must be much deteriorated. Wheat has been injured to some extent. Settled weather would now be of great value to the agri culturist. The root mope are generally well reported of. There was a swill show of wheat at our corn market to day, which made 4a per qr. more mosey than last week. Old white, 535. to 57a. ; old red, 495. to 53e. ; new white, 51s. to 55e. ; new red, 475. to 525. per 36 stone. The quality of the new barley on offer was irregular.
