LAW INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.) COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. Sittings in Banco.—(Before the Lord Chief Justice and Mr. Justice Lush.) KiIoWEA AND WLI6 t•. THR LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST RAILWAY CORPARY. Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., laid this was an action for per anal injuries received by the plaintiff's wife, tried before Mr. Baron Jlartin, at the last Croydon assizes, when the paintiffs were obliged to assent to • nonsuit, in Goose .; a nee of the interposition of the learned baron. The motor and his wife were at the East Croydon platform, baying to wait some time for a train, they were di ! ..trd by one of the porters to the wailing -room. In naingtioine stone step. to the subterranean passage,the lof the wife's boot caught in a broken part of one if the steps, and she fell, receiving serious injury. At conclusion of the plaintiffs' case the learned baron t ad be thought there was no case, but he declined to sitbraw it front the jury. Mr. Serjeant Parry then ad ilesscd the jury, stating he intended to call witnesses. The jury, before the learned se '' east had concluded, , t ,.p ? ed le case, and the learned baron would not permit jb,, plaintiffs' counsel to address the jury on the evidence a nd upon that he had no alternative but to submit to a B onita. The learned counsel now moved for a rule to at the nonsuit aside. At the trial the learned baron ap prired to Ivy down that as the public were not bound to go to a railway station the company was not liable. The Lord Chief Justice said that this court had laid dawn that if • company invited the public to come to their place of business it was bound to have it in a reason e.ly safe condition. Rule granted. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Sttings in Banoo.—(Before Lord Chief Justice llovill and Justices Willes, Bytes, and Keating.) THE C..NFLUIS ettoNZ QUARRY COMPANY V. PARREFt. This was an action to mover the amount of eight cir. (-Lir notes which had been issued by the Ns Aional Bank, kt which bad been lost by some means before they reached t i,,. ',UMW' hands abroad. The bank was willing to Lod beck the money upon receiving a particular form of isdemnity ; but the parties would not agree upon the temp , of the indemnity, and hence the present action. At the trial the plaintiff was nonsuited ; but the question tow was whether a verdict should be entered for the Jettudant ; and this question was regarded as one of some roportance in reference to the construction to be put upon circular notes. The Lord Chief Justice, in delivering judgment, said dist the court were of opinion that it was not obligatory pop the holder of ettonL, notes to cash them, although be had purchased the right to do so if he thought proper nal that in the event of his not requiring to use them Abroad, he might, after reviewable notice of his electing not to use them, require repayment at his banker's hands. Thu was Put an unreasonable holding, because the banker would have the use of the money while it remained in his bands; but as to the terms of repayment, whether any discount was to be allowed, the documents furnished no information. This right to demand repayment of the money, however,could only be exercised when there was no possibility f the banker being called upon to pay upon the circular notes : but in this case the notes had not been delivered up to the banker, and there was nothing to show that they had been destroyed, or what had become of them. This being so the bank was not liable to refund the money. except upon having • proper indemnity, and the question of the sufficiency of the indemnity offered in this case should have been disposed of at chambers under • provision in the Common Low Procedure Act. The judgment of the court therefore was that the non suit was right, and that the rule should be discharged. Rule discharged. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. Melon Mr. Commissioner Hokepi.) IN RE NALGANINI. This bankrupt, who was described as a merchant and promoter of public companies, of Crosby House, Bishops gateotreet, was made bankrupt as a lunatic, under the lOtfth sec. of the act which provides for cases of that de scription, the petition being filed by Mr. Aldridge, solicitor to the official assignee, who was appointed by the court to represent the bankrupt. He has since so far recovered as to be able to file, or at least sign accounts, which show liabilities of :3,4711. On the other aide there is a mention of some shadowy claim dating back several generations ; and the bankrupt statcs that his assertion of that claim WWI the principal cause of his being confined in a lunatic asylum. This was an adjourned sitting for examination and dis charge. There was no opposition, and his Honour granted the order. (Before Mr. Commissioner Winslow.) IN RE g. HARRIS. The bankrupt was a swine merchant, of Jewi y-street, Aldpte. Debts about 1,7001. Mr. Morgan, for the assignees, did not oppose ; Mr. Irethertield opposed for Mr. Fernandez, wine merchant. It appeared that the bankrupt had purchased eight hogs heads of sherry of the opposing creditor, for 200/., giving bills at six months, and had transferred the wine to Mr. Garrott, of Bristol, who had advanced him 2001. for the purpose of making a journey to Sweden. An adjournment was ordered for cash and goods ac counts. yIST NZ BrTTOS.

Thoneu Dudify,lB, Thomas Iludows,2l, Norris, 18, Aker Wrootri, 21, and./oseph 8n4411,20, au were indicted for stealing four caddies and half a chest tee, value 151. and upwards, the property of Joseph Baronial° sad others. Mr. Metcalfe (instructed by Mr. T. Beard), prosecuted ; Mr. Collins appeared fee Norris, and Mr. Harris for Groom. _ They all pleaded guilty with the exception of Small but his can was postponed to next session, be being indicted with Groom, Norris, and Dudley for another robbery. It appeared from information Sergeant Dunaway re oeived on the 21st of October, he went with a constable to Cannon-street station at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and there saw the prisoners Dudley, Hudson, Norris, and Groom coming up Dowgate.bill with a truck, and they turned at length up Osborne-street. He afterwards went to Mosebuildings, Whitechepel, and forced the door open. On the ground floor he found Dudley and Hudson emptying some tea out of mimes into • bag, and he told them that they appeared to be very busy at work, and he said that he should take them into custody. They said it was all right, but they asked time to be allowed to put their coats on. The four prisoners were then taken to the station house, and on the 23rd of October, Dunaway went to Money-court, Minories, where he saw the prisoner Small, and told him he would be charged with four others, then in custody, for robbing Pickford's vans. The van was in the charge of John Webber during the absence of • man named Healing, who went into a house in Thames-street for • time, leaving Webber in charge of the horses for a time, and he then went without the van to Donate-hill, where he met the prisoner Groom with a truck, and he was asked where Small, Norris or Hudson were. He was told Dudley was there, and then Norris asked him what he had got, and Weblvir replied eight boxes of tea, and half a chest in the tail of the van, and he told him the van was in Thameaetreet. He then drove the van under the railway arch in Thames-street, and there saw the truck coming towards the tail of the van from Dowgate.bill. He got down to buy some walnuts, and when he went back he missed four caddies and the half-chest of tea from the van, and the truck was gone. He saw the track going up Dowgate-hill with a table-cloth over it. He then saw Sergeant Dunaway and from what he said he went beck to the van. It appeared that on Friday night the IRth of October. be met Dudley in the Minories, and be asked him to drink with him. He then asked Webber if he met him on Monday night, he could have anything off his van, and offered him a sovereign down for himself,and promised to be in Thames street on the following Monday, by 5 o'clock, but he did not keep this appointment. He was, however, seen the game night at Harris's Music-ball, when it was agreed that he was to be met in Thames-street, when Norris and Small would be there with a truck. The time was to be 5 o'clock, Small said he had one of Pickford's sacks with she name cut oat, which would do to oover the tea. On Monday morning, the 21st, Webber gave information to the fore man of the plan that had been laid to commit the robbery, and this led to the apprehension of the prisoners. The Aasirtant-Judge sentenced Hudson to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for 12 months. The sentence on the others be deferred till the other charge is disposed of. Mr. Metcalfe said Sergeant Dunaway had shown great ability in the pursuit and apprehension of these men, and be thought his services ought to receive the recognition of the court. The Assistant-Judge concurred that he was an officer of great ability and ordered him to receive • reward of 21., as he was one of the best officers in dissecting robberies by carmen and bringing them and the receivers to justice.

T.HE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 5, 1867. THE POLICE COURTts. (THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A DOB.HARGED DRACI/ON IN TROUBLE. Paine!: limpet, a man wearing a soldier's coat, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being drunk and dis orderly in Oxford-street. Police-constable Clarke, 187 D, said that on the previous night the prisoner while walking along Oxford-street an noyed several persons, and on some gentlemen interfering be threatened to knock their heads off. The prisoner was drunk and bad a stick in his hand. Barnes, the gaoler, said that not quite a week ago the prisoner was charged at that court with begging, and he was then wearing the same coat, and it was said he did so to excite charity. The prisoner said he had been in the Dragoons, but was now paralysed. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the prisoner tried to destroy all com pulsion for him by being riotous in the streets. The prisoner said he should like to get to Queenstown, Ireland. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the prisoner how it was, he being a young man, that he rime to leave the army. The prisoner mid that he was invalided after serving seven years. and became paralysed after be was discharged. He had no prospect of ever rising to a better position in the world or be would not be there. In Lie Wet to Mr. Tyrwbitt the prisoner said he had lived in Holborn-buildings, but last slept in Charles-street, Drury-lane. . . Mr. Tyrwhitt said that he would send the prisoner to the workhouse for a little time, and in the mea n while see about sending Lim back to Queenstown. THAMES. THE TIME EING, Lewis rlirietan Formaaskn,;itussian Pole, better known as " Mel Reuel, the Fire King," who last exhi bited at Southampton, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with running away, deserting his wife and three children, and leaving them chargeable to the Stepney Union. Mr. Henry Simmons, relieving officer of the Stepney Union, said be had relieved the Fire King's wife and her children, by a former husband, and theybetame chargeable to the union, and were so up to hat Friday. The Fire King—There was no occasion forher to become chargeable. I have remitted 61. te. to her for the last five weeks, and am willing to maintain her although she has vilely aspersed me and injured my prospecta. Mr. Paget asked the relieving officer what evidence he had that the prisoner had left his wife chargeable, had neglected to support her and her children, and had run away. Mr. Simmons was satisfied with what the Fire King had stated, and with his promise to pay the amount advanced by the union for her relief. He believed the Fire King bad sent his wife 61. to, in the course of the last five weeks. Mr. Paget —Then yon wish to withdraw the warrant! Mr. 811111110R11—Yes, sir. Mr. Paget maid the prisoner was discharged. The Fire-King said his last engagement was at South ampton, and he had come up to London from that place to make an explanation. He never ran away. His engage ments were all over the kingdom, and it might as well be said that a commercial traveller, whose pursuits took him from city to city and town to town, had deserted his wife. Mr. Paget said the question before him was, had the prisoner deserted his wife and children and left them chargeable ? That charge was very properly withdrawn, and the prisoner could not be in a better position. The fiery monarch then departed, followed by his wife. who is 51 years of age, a native of Germany. Her husband is a merry, good-natured looking fellow, of 25. LATEST SPORTING INTELLIGENCE (BT TCLIGILLYII.) LIVERPOOL MEETING.—(THIS DAY.) HUNTERS' STEEPLECHASE. Love in a Mat 2 CROXTETH HURDLE.

SUICIDE OP A POLICEMAN-ALLEGED MAN SLAUGHTER OP HIS WIFE. About four o'clock yesterday morning a tall powerful officer of the Leeds polio° force, named Thomas Holt, committed suicide by cutting his throat. His son, • youth fifteen years of age, heard him going downstairs, , and on receiving an evasive answer as to the cause of • dropping which he heard, he followed him to the room below, when he was horrified to fi nd him sat ast ri de • chair with his head over a pail into which there was flowing a stream of blood from a terrible gash in his throat. The youth exclaimed in anguiah. " Father, what have you done that for r to which he replied, " I have done it to i get out of my misery. Give me • drink of water." The water was supplied to him, and an alarm immediately given. Police-constable Porritt, who along with several , neighbours ran to give assistance, endeavoured to stop the bleeding, but this proved ineffectual, end death resulted in about 20 minutes. The cause of the rash act appears to be deceased's dread of an inquiry which was to be made re specting the death of his wife on Friday. The result of an ! investigation instituted by Mr. Wetherell, and carried oat by Detective-officer Marshall and Police-sergeant Roper, , appears to be that the deceased had occasionally usec' his I wife in a very brutal manner. On the 21st October she I attended • wedding breakfast at the Lord Nelson Inn, Kirkstallquad, after which she returned to her own house. where Holt saw her about 12 o'clock, and charged her with being drunk. Mrs. Hall went into the house of her sister, Mrs. Holt, and th en saw th e deceased officer beating his wife's bead against the wall, and she ! implored him to desist. The following day she again visited her sister, about 6 o'clock in the evening, but the shutters and door being fast she was unable to gain admis sion. She, however. heard sounds as though Holt was again thrashing his wife, but could not see him. Mrs. Holt was afterwards removed to her sister's house, where she remarked that her husband had done too much at her this time, wed she believed she would not get over it. On the Wednesday night, the 16th Oct., the effect of bar treatment had been such that she had • fit, and lost the nee of one arm. On regaining consciousness she spin re marked that her husband had done for her this time. She remained at Mts. Hall's house until Monday last when she was removed to her own h ome , where she bad another fit, and after lingering for the remainder of the week she ex pired on Friday. A coroner's inquest is to be held on the bodies of Holt and his wife at the Town Hall this after noon, when the result of • post mortem examination on the body of Mrs. Holt will be made known.—Leeds Mercury.

THE WALRV.t AT THE ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS. - The walrus, the arrival of which in the Zoological Society's gardens has been recently announced, was captured in Davis's Straits by Captain Richard Wells, of the steam whaler Arctic, belonging to Messrs. Alexander Stephen and Co., of Dundee, on the 28th of August last. A herd of from 200 to 300 of these animals was met with on the ioe by the Arctic in lat. 69 deg. N. long. 64 deg. W. A boat's crew was landed on the ice and the herd attacked, and several individuals killed, among which was a large female. The body of the latter being attached to the boat and rowed towards the vessel was followed by a young male, who swam and dived around and refused to quit his deceased parent. This being noted, he was captured by it noose swung over his head and one fore limb from the ship and hauled on board. For some days the captive was kept tied to a ring -bolt on deck, and refused food altogether. Subsequently it was induced to swallow thin slips of boiled pork, and was thus fed until the vessel reached the Shetlands, when a supply of fresh mumels was provided for its use. A large box with open• ings at the aides was fabricated, and the animal, secured therein, was brought safely into Dundee on the IGth ult. From that port to London the Walrus was conveyed in the steamer Anglia, under the care of the society's experienced superintendent, Mr. A. D. Bartlett. The walrus is a male, with partially developed tusks, about the same size as the sea bear lately in the society's gardens, but more bulky in appearance. Although probably not a year old, it is 811. long, and weighs perhaps 2i OWL Its arrival in the Zoolo gical Society's gardens will no doubt attract a host of visitors, as the only specimen of this animal ever received before was in a moribund state on its arrival, and lived but a very short time.

The force which left this morning to attack the Garibaldians at Monte Rotondo consisted of 6,000 French and Papal troops. It is stated that the French general addressed an ultimatum to the Garibaldians, summoning them to withdraw from the Pontifical territory, under the penalty of being treated as brigands. ITALY. FLORENCE, Nov. 5. Garibaldi was sent last night under escort to Spezzia. The Opiniune of to-day estimates the losses of the Garibaldians at the battle of Monte Rotondo at from 300 to 500 men in killed and wounded. All volunteers re-entering the Papal territory are dis armed. The Natione, the Opinions, and the Diritto all advise the Italian government to withdraw the troops from the Pontifical territory. MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.) OM o'ol.ool. The stock markets are rather firmer to-day and the changes in prices are mostly in an upward direction, owing to the defeat of Garibaldi, and a consequent hope that more disposition will be shown by the French and Italian governments to enter into negotiations for a settlement of the Roman question. Much sensitiveness, however, is still apparent in most of the departments, and the receipt of quotations from the Paris Bourse is awaited with some anxiety. oonsols have advanced per cent., and foreign stocks I to t. The rise in some of the British railway securities amounts to per cent. Banking, financial, and miscellaneous shares, however, are still neglected. There is very little demand for money to-day, but the rate for the best paper is maintained at 10 to per cent. The charge for short loans in the Stock Exchange is 1 to 1i per cent. Consols are quoted 941 to both for money and next Thursday's settlement. The Three per Cents. Reduced and New Three per Cents. are per cent. higher, at 920 to I. In the railway market Caledonian and Great Northern (Original) stocks hale improved * per cent., and several of the other principal lines 1 to 4. Metropolitan is quoted 1204 to ; Great Western, 454 to ; London and North Western, 1131 to 1# ; Midland, 1164 to 117 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 1244 to I ; Caledonian, 864 to I ; South Eastern, 86g to 4 ; Great Eastern, 32 to ; Great Northern, 108 to 109 ; ditto A, 1111 to 112 ; London, Chatham, and Dover, 174 to ; North British, 324 to 334 ; and Brighton, 524 to 1. The foreign stock market is firm, with a fair amount of business, consisting chiefly of purchases. Italian bonds of 1861 have improved 1 per cent., viz., to 441 to 1 ; and several of the other specula tive descriptions are 1 better. Subjoined are some of the present prices :—Turkiih of 1862, 62 to 63 ; ditto of 1865, 311 to ; Greek, 12 to 1 ; Spanish Passive, 181 to / ; ditto Certificates, 16# to # ; Chilian scrip, 1 dia. to par ; Egyptian, 1864, 83 to 84; and Mexican, 141 to 151. United States 5-20 Bonds have risen 55., viz., to 691 to 701, while Erie Railway shares have receded to the like extent, the present price being 461 to 1. Illinois Central are steady, at sof to 811. Atlantic Cable shares present no movement. Anglo-American are at 17/ to 1 ; and Atlantic Telegraph Eight per Cent. Preference, at 3} to $. Bank shares are unaltered, the dealings being upon a very limited scale. London and West minster, 70 to 72 ; Union of London, 37 to 38 ; Alliance, 12 to 11 die. ; Imperial Ottoman, 11 to 11 dia. ; Oriental Corporation, 42 to 43 ; and Lon don and County, 64 to 55. Financial shares have changed hands to a very moderate extent. International Financial are called 2i to 21- clis. ; London, 24 to 23 dia. ; General Credit, 21 to 2 dis. ; and Credit Fonder, 611 to 61 die. The Livcrpoo/ Journal of Commerce contains the following :—" The suspension of Messrs. Theodor Knave and Co., general merchants and cotton ex porters, was announced this morning. Their liabi lities, we believe, will exceed 200,0001. It is stated they hold 6,000 bales of cotton, and to this fact their failure is attributed. Messrs. Xnaus and Co. have a branch house in Liverpool." HALF-PAST TRIM O'CLOCK. The markets for public securities are generally firm, owing to the receipt of higher prices from Paris. Consols are quoted 941. for money and next Thursday's settlement, and 941 for the new account, showing a further fractional improvement. About 59,0001. in bar gold has been withdrawn from the Bank for exportation. At Paris this morning the Three per Cent. Benter opened at 67fr. 77c. for the account, being nearly i per cent. better. The abundance of money continues as great as ever, and the corn market is once more giving way, but all inducements to confidence are checked by the deeply-rooted feeling of uncer tainty and distrust which prevails with regard to foreign affairs, and for which there can be only one possible remedy—a disarmament on the part of the great continental Powers. The public are hold ing almost wholly aloof from the stock markets, so far as bona fide operations are concerned, and nearly the only business is for account of s few habitual speculators who act upon the varying tenor of the foreign news received from hour to hour. New York advices announce the shipment for Europe of 100,0001. in gold. The failure is announced of Mr. Welch Miller and Mr. John B. Fawcett, underwriters of Lloyd's. The committee of the Stock Excha nge have ap pointed Friday next a special settling day in the New Redeemable shares of the Metropolitan Rail way Company, and in the 25,000 New 201. shares of the Dutch Rhenish Railway Company. Both are to be officially quoted. The committee have ordered the 6 per cent. bonds of the Tasmanian Govern ment Loan and 10-40 Bonds of the United States to be officially quoted. An informal meeting of shareholders in the Rio de Janeiro City Improvements Company (Limited) was held yesterday, but reporters for the press were not admitted. Creditors of the North Atlantic Telegraph Com pany (Limited) are required to send the particulars of their claims to Mr. William Cooper, of George street, Mansion-house, the official liquidator, by the 4th Dec., the 18th of that month having b een appointed by Vice-Chancellor Malins for adjudi cating upon them. A Canadian project of magnitude is on the tapia, though not yet carried beyond the preliminary stage. It contemplates the construction of a Ship Canal, which, starting from Nottawasaga Bay, on Lake Huron, shall pass through Lake Simcoe, and thence, availing itself of the natural configuration of the country, effect a direct communication with Lake Ontario. Should the project be adequately supported, there can be no doubt that it would open up a vast territory, and afford extraordinary facilities for conveying to the St. Lawrence and the seaboard the varied products of Lake Huron and of all the North-Western Provinces of Canada. All compared with the present circuitous route a saving of 14 to 16 days would be effected, and tran shipments would be avoided. The colonial wool sales are fixed to commense on Thursday, 14th inst. The fresh importatiows up to present date, since the beginning of WI sales, comprise 78,789 bales, viz.:—New Soo* Wales and Queensland, 15,229 ; Victoria, 7,120; Tasmania, 494 ; South Australia, 1,858 ; Wag Australia, 108 ; New Zealand, 7,249 ; and Cap% 46,731; total, 78,789 ; held over from preview" sales, about 9,000 ; total colonial, 87,789 bile% Further arrivals are expected. MINES.-(THIS DAT.) ~ o'Croei. The mining market is moderately active to-day, and prices show firmness.

STREET STALLS IN STEPNEY.—Yesterday evening a meeting, which was preliminary in its character, wee held at the Green-coat School, White Honsestreet, Step ney, for the purpose of organising an opposition to the working of one of the provinces of the new Metropolitan Traffic Regulation Act, by which a large number of ooster mongers and other persons keeping street Malls in the district of Stepney have been driven from their prescrip tive holdings. The complaint especially is that, in dis tricts within • very short distance of the locality in which the street trading has been suppressed, it is in full operation without let or hindrance. The matter has been warmly taken up by the clergy and many of the tradesmen of Stepney, and by them the meeting of last night was called. The Rev. Mr. Lee, the rector, presided, supported by Mr. Addington, his curate, Mr. Browning, and several other tradesmen of the neigh bourhood, while a considerable number of the itinerant traders who are aggrieved, and many of thoir wives sad children, were present. The chairman simply suggested that, as a preliminary to any further proceeding.., a com mittee should be formed to consider what the steps to be taken should be, in conjunction with other v:.riahes, is order to protect a very peaceable, orderly, and industrious body of persons from being deprived of their livelihoods. Mr. Wilson stated that the act was calculated to operate against a body of men in the metropolis who amounted to 50,000, and with their wives and children made up a number of 200,000 souls. He urged that steps should be taken to communicate with the Home Secretary, and that Mr. Ayrton, the member for their borough, should be called on to give his assistance in the matter. It was a question for the ratepayers, on whom a large additional burthen must be thrown if these persons were d priced of their means of subsistence. Mr. Browning stated that the action which had been taken appared to be local ; for whereas the street stalls were cleared out of Stepney, those of parts of Limehouae were permitted to go on with their business undisturbed.

After this no formal business took place; but • committee of twelve persons was appointed to con sider what further steps should be taken.
