AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY. The Net York Herald of the nth inst. contains the following summary of military matters : lour army is making rapid advances into the different Gape of the Blue Ridge, heretofore held by the rebels, and we are now in possession of all the Gaps as far as Ashby's, our foroe being in front of that position. Yesterday Ge neral Stahel, with a portion of 54gel's command, drove the enemy out of Thoroughfare Gap, and General Carl Sohurz immediately occupied it. General Bayard's force meantime holds Aides, and all the country between that point sod Bagel's front. Buckland Mills is also in our possession. Time the rebels are pretty closely outflaoked, hemmed in, and cut off from Richmond. General M'Clellan is 50 miles nearer the rebel capital than General Lee's army, and a vigorous movement—protected of course by • cautious attention to his rear—may at any moment put him in posses sion of that place. Amongst tha moat melancholy portion of our war news to-day is the announcement of the death of two of our brace generals—O. M. Mitchell and J. B. Richardson. The former died at Beaufort of yellow fever on the Slat Wt., and General Richardson died of the wounds received at the battle of Antietam, at Sharpsburg on Monday night. Some of the rebel cavalry made au attack on our pickets near Bolivar Heighta yesterday, and captured three of them, whom they sent to Charlestown. The rebels were observed in some force yesterday, between Charlestown and the river.. _ . General Banks, in a few remarks which he made from the platform of a railroad car is Boston on Saturday last, mid the approaching winter was not to be lost in inaction. The government was determined now to put forth its strength. Numerous expeditions were on foot that could not, if vigorously praised, but be fatal to the revolted states. The second edition of the draft in Connecticut, which wag to have taken place to-day, has been postponed until the 19th inst. The following are the latest despatches from the army of General M'Clellan : Headquarters of the army of the Potomac, Bloomfield, Nov. 3. The advance of the army of the Potomac op the valley on the left side of the Blue-ndge is being pushed forward with alldespatch . . . Oene r ral Pleasanton occupied lipperville this afternoon, after a spirited engagement with the enemy for about four hours. We had none killed bat several wounded. The rebels left three of their dead on the field. Upperville is four miles from Ashby's Gap, which the rebels are endeavouriog to hold. Our troops now hold all the gaps up to Ashby's, withevery prospect of having that tomorrow. There wag some tone of the enemy today in front of Snicker's Gap on the left bank of the Shenandoah, to dispute our passage at that point. The rumours of the invasion by way of Downsville are not believed at these headquarters. The Lot report from the rear shows that these reports are unfounded. The army is ready and prepared to fight a general battle when the rebels .nay see proper to meet them. The army is in better condition than it ever has been, with the exception of the want of mere eavalry—a want that is greatly felt. Harper's Ferry, Nov. 4. About daylight thin morning a squad of rebel cavalry sur prised and captured three of our pickets within two miles of Bolivar Height; near the railroad track, and carried them off prieocers to Charlestown. The rebels continue to show themselves in force in the neighbourhood of Charlestown. . . . fooptreet is at Paris. Jackson just passed through Ashby 's Gap, and Bill is close on him. The general impression among the Federal officers is that the rebels are fast retreating to Gordonsville, and all their movements are only feints to cover this movement. They told the people of Pnrcellville several days since, that they had no idea of wintering in the Shenandoah Valley. It has been beautiful Italian summer weather for the last three or four days, but this morning is cold and cloudy, denoting rain. The Potomac is still low, but a sudden and great rise is universally expected. THE WAR IN THE SOUTH WEST. LOUISVILLE, Nov. 4. It is reported that Bragg's army is at Murfrees boro', Tennessee, and that 1,500 rebel cavalry are at Somerset, Kentucky. Four hundred sick and wounded Union soldiers from the interior of the State arrived this evening, also some 40 rebel prisoners. General Bayle has or dered all rebel prisoners at Harrodsburg and other hospitals sufficiently well to be removed to come here for shipment to Vicksburg. The New York Times publishes the following de spatch from its correspondent at Alexandria : Alexandria, Virginia, Oct. 29. The order remanding the old soldiers to their respective regiments who have recently enlisted in the regular army has produced the greatest satisfaction. Many of the oldest and best regiments in the service were rapidly becomiug decimated from the effects of the order granting soldiers in the volunteer corps the privilege of the re enlisting as regulars. Hundreds are daily rushing to the recruiting stations for that purpose about Alexandria, and discipline was ridiculed under the plea of intentions to "enlist in the regulars." Many of the regiments were rapidly reduced to shadows, and the effect in a few thys would have been the complete disorganization of the very flower of many of the peninsular commands and the muster ing out of service of many of our ablest and most valuable officers. Vast storehouses for army purposes are in the course of erection in this place, and subsistence supplies are rapidly pouring into them as fast u the work will permit. Forage ra prodigious quantities is also being piled up on the wharves, and all supplies pertaining to the quartermaster's sad commissary's departments are being landed in the most vigorous manner at all the government wharves. Thousands of stores are being forwarded to the troops occupying the defences of Washington on this side the river, and busy preparation is making in all the camps, adder the probability of a permanent residence here for the winter, and the regular supplies of fuel are being conveyed to the encampments. Still these preparations do not positively determine that the troops are to remain here for the winter but the fact that these preparations are permitted to progress without interruption, or orders to the contrary, conforms so materially with the programme of last fall, that the troops justly infer that they will not be disturbcd in the occupation of their wiuter quarters here. Such has been the demand for lumber for this purpose, that the supply in Alexandria has been swept away, and the supplies arriving are insufficient to meet the necessary wants of the official departments. This want will be remedied in a few days, however, as a large number of vessels laden with building material are known to be on their way hither from eastern ports. But the soldiers meanwhile are by no means allowed to remain in idleness. The old fortifications are being mate rially strengthened, bridges are being built, old roads re paired, and new ones constructed, while new and important lines of breastwork, are being thrown up, and the entire line of defence rendered as impregnable as skilful engineuriug and indefatigatde labour can make it. THE ELECTIONS. Horatio Seymour, the democratic candidate, carried the election in New York city by over 30,000 majority. His majority in the whole State is estimated at from 8,000 to 10,000, and he is elected Governor of the State. The full congressional democratic ticket was chosen in New York, Benjamin Wood and Fer nando Wood being both elected to Congress. In New York State 19 democrats and 12 re publicans were elected to Congress. New Jersey has voted the democratic ticket by a large ma jority. Governor Andrew has been re-elected in Massachusetts. Michigan has elected the republi can ticket. The Ntw York Times sums up the elections as follows : The election in the City and State of New York yesterday resulted in a complete revolution in the ascendancy of parties as far as the State and Congressional tickets are concerned. The Democrats carried the city by over 30,000, Kiog's County by 5,500, and the State by a majority not yet ascer tained in its extent, though there is no present reason to doubt that it will be decided. The Congressional delegation will stand 16 or 18 Democrata to 13 or 15 Republicans. The Legislature is Republican in the &spate, elected for two years in 1861, sad probably Republican in the Assembly. The returns from Massachusetts are very full, and insure the re-election of Governor Andrew by a very large majority. The following are the latest election returns from other States : DELAWARE. Wilmington, Nov. 4. Wilmington gives 6150 Union majority. Pencadeo „ Brandy wine ~ Christiana „ MISSOURI. St. Louis, Nov. 4. The election here to-day passed off very quietly. Thu return, of the city are still incomplete, and nothing definite can be ascertained. The vote of the 6th, 7th, 86, and 10th wards standa—Blair, 1,930 ; Knox (republican), 1,964 ; Bogy (demo crat), 992. -------- WISCONSIN. /diliraiilTo, Nov. 4. Seven towns in Wa'worth county give—Potters (republican),l,23B majority. Kenosha, three town., Potter, 800. SOO majority. His majority is the county will be ILLINOIS. Chime), Nov. 4. The election peened off quietly, and has resulted is the return of Arnold, the republican candidate, Cazgreek Returns from the State are very meagre, giving DO indication as to the result. THE EXPRESS, Springfield city gives Stewart (demxrat) for Cougrem, 413 majority ; Allen (democrat), candi date at large, 200. ltaujakee county gives Norton (republican) for Congress, 1,000 majority. Galena gives 300 democratic majority. Returns from 70 towns give Ingersoll (republican) 3,300 majority. The New York Times of the 6th inst. attributes the victory obtained by the democrats to the failure of the government to prosecute the war with the vigour, energy, and success which the vast resources at its command warranted the country in expecting at its hands, and adds : . . . What is the use of trying ' to sustain an administration I which lap so far behind the country, and seems eci indif ferent and incompetent to the dreadful task committed to its hands.. If the government bad given the people vic tories—if it bad even shown any just appreciation of the need of victories, and had Minn the most ordinary means of exacting them at the hands of its generals in the field, the people would have rallied as one man to its support. They would have spurred with indignation the base attempts of demagogues to sap their faith in the administration, and to array them in hostility against it . The vote in this State, as in Pennsylvania and the West, indicates a profound dissatisfaction with the method of the edministration in carrying on this war, and a peremptory demand for the adoption of one better adapted to tbeawful emergencies of the case. The President must not hesitate an hour to respond to this demand. Let the popular verdict just pronounced dispel whatever of hesitation or timidity may have hampered his movemen J. There must be an end of apologies and delays. The country will no longer tolerate half-hearted counsels in the cabinet, or half-hearted leader ship in the field. The fate of the nation must no longer be committed to generals who, like Essex in the English revolu tion, next to a great defeatdread a great victory. The govern ment must no loogerbe content with defending itself against a rebellion. It must act upon the offensive—and act with the vigour and determination that insure a victory. If the recent elections shall inspire the administration with this spirit and prompt it to such action, they will be of more service than results which might have betrayed it into a delusive and fatal confidence in the frititler policy it has hitherto pursued. The New York Tribune partly ascribes the defeat of the Republicans to the absence of 100,000 voters at the seat of war, two thirds of whom it estimates are ardent Republicans. But the cause of defeat on which the Tribune lays most stress is the General dissatisfaction with the slow progress, or no pro gress. of our armies, and a wide-pread feeling th at, through the incapacity, inefficiency, or insincerity of our military leaden, the blood and treasures of the loyal millions are saerifiood in vain. I The Tribune concludes by saying : . . We tell the administration most earnestly that the country cannot endure another month's inaction of our armies—that a Feroando-Wood dictatorship at the North in thorough sympathy, if not in open alliance with the Jeff. Davis rebellion at the South, will inevitably result from such inaction. The war for the Unioe must be fought out speedily and resolutely, or it will die out. De feat would be calamity, but delay is ruin. The New York Herald considers the triumph of the democratic party as most complete and over whelming, but states that this popular demonstra tion Does not mean that the war ;ball be ended in an igno minious and ruinous peace. involving a division of the Union into •wo independent confederacies, but that the war shall be prosecuted for the maintenance of the Union, and for robing else ; that the malign abolition influence; have brought defeats and disasters to our armies where we should otherwise have been crowned with victory, and that the radical Marplote who in Congress and in the Cabinet have calmed the squandering of hundreds of millions of money, and the needless sacrifice of thousands of our brave soldiers, shall be henceforth repudiated by President Lincoln. But as the new Congress cannot, unless specially con vened, meet until December, 1863, the Herald sanest' that to enable the new repreeentativcs "fresh from the people," to give their counsels to the President, they should hold an informal meeting, after the fashion of the late Al toona conference, of the governors of the loyal states, "in order that they may agree upon s series of recommendations and declaration' of the general policy which they believe would meet the cordial support of our loyal people.' Let a meeting of this character, continues the New York Herald, be held in this city before the reaseemWing of !_:ougrees, and it may contribute much to aid the President in the recommendation of his annual message, and in the important work of a reconstruction of his cabinet. EXTENSIVE COMMERCIAL FRAUDS IN THE CITY. Hugo Dollops, a German, who, it is supposed, has been for eeveral years pursuing an extensive system of frauds upon the commercial community of the City, by carrying on businees under fictitious names, was placed at the bar of the 24122M0-house, on Saturday, before the Lord Mayor, to undergo a final examination upon a charge of ob taining, by means of Wee pretences, a quantity of woollen goods. to the value of about 120 f., from Mesas. Thackrah and Co., of 20, Lawreno•lane ; and a quantity of carpet, &c., to the amount of 261. odd, from 3feetra. Taplin and Co., of Greshametreet, carpet manufacturers. Mr. George Lewis again appeared to conduct the prose cation ; and Mr. Murray attended on Debella/ the pr iaooer. - - - - On the former occasion Mr. Lewis's statement was to the effect that the prisoner had for several years carried on business of various kinds in London. In 1859 he became bankrupt, and did not obtain his discharge till January in the present year. lie then took an o ffi ce in Little Britain, and carried on business under the name of Teed, Lester, and Co. In June he again went through the Bankruptcy Court, and he was confined in Whiten - roes-street Prison, where he remained until August, when he obtained his ce-- tangle, a third class one, and was at the same timereleased, He then appeared to have commenced business at biz office in Little Britain under the name of Walter Berthold and Co., which name be had painted on the door, as well as Toad, LaMar, and Co., and again he set up • firm as Hugo, Dulling, and Co. He obtained goods from different houses under these names, he himself bsing the party wbo consti tuted the three firma He appeared to have been in the habit of ordering goods at different warehouses, promising to pay cash on delivery, and on the goods being sent to his office he gave a cheque in payment, which on being presented was returned unpaid and marked no effects. In nearly every ems he postdated the cheques, apparently under the impres sion that by so doing he would evade the law. A cheque book was found upon him containing the counterfeits of • number of cheques to the amount of upwards of 7001., which were made payable to different persons in the City— nearly all of which were payable on the 10th November, which was • day or two subsequent to his apprehension, and before which day he DO doubt intended to make • grand coup, and at the same time "make himself scarce." This latter supposition was more apparent from a number of bills of exchange which were found upon the prisoner— amounting in the aggregate to a considerable sum—and some of which were drawn by himself upon Teed and Lester, and Walter Berthold. and Tends, Lester, and Walter Bee thokl upon himself, and which were in readiness for circula tion. It will be remembved that witnesses were called by whose evidence it appeared that in October last the prisoner went to the house of Mews. Taplin and Co., and selected some carpets and rugs, to the amount of 261., for which he promised to pay cash. The goods were sent to his office by the porter, to whom the prisoner gave a cheque upon Messrs. Jonas and Webster, bankers, in Newington. Upon the porter taking the cheque back it was discovered that it was postdated. It was, however, presented on the day it was made payable, and was returned unpaid. On the 4th of November the prisoner went to the warehouse of Mears. Thackrah, of Lawrence lane, and,there selected,cloth goods to the amount of 1141., the sgreement being that he was to pay 501. of the 1141. at the time the gooda were delivered. The prisoner directed the goods to be sent home that day, and said he would pay the 501. to Mr. Thackrah if be went with them. The goods were accordingly sent in the course of the efternoon of the 4th, and Mr. Tbackrab went for the money. The prisoner wrote him a cheque for 501. on Messrs. Junes and Webster. which he at first dated the 10th November, but which, at the request of Mr. Tbackrah, he altered to the sth, at the same time asking him not to pre. sent it until the after Fart of the day. The cheque was promoted on the sth, and was returned unpaid. On Saturday Mr. Lewis said although there were a great I many camel similar to that of Messrs. Thackrah'e and Mews. Taplin's against the prisoner, he did not intend to go into them, but merely to complete the two cases which bad been already gone into, but be thought it right to mention that besides the office at 13, Little Britain, where the prisoner carried on business under the names of Teed, Lester, Walter Berthold and Co., sad Hugo Doling, be bad offices in Bury-street, St. Mary-axe, and in Joiner-street, Ber socieds, and carried on business at the latter place is the name of Murray. While in Bury-court, the prisoner bad obtained a quantity of watches to the amount of upwards of 2,0001. from Masers. Lecoutre and Soubet, a firm at St. Croix, in Switzerland, in the name of Hugo Cunene. Mr. Pol ake. the foreign agent, had been in communication with thous gentlemen ; and. 'Mee the last examination, be had re ceived a letter from them which was in the prisoner's hand lwriting. and signed Huge Cullen', and in which be acknow ledges the receipt of the watches, but Mr. Pollaky unfor tunately received the information too late, and was unable to discover any trees of thegoods, and the primer, owing to the number of same under which he traded, had enemy faci lities of making away with them, or at least destroying any tram of them.

In addition to a meeting of the citizens of Man cheater, to be held on Wednesday next, we hear ' on good authority, that a county meeting of the inhabitants of Lan cashire is likely to held in the Manchester Town•hall, to consider what further measures are required for the relief of the distress. The donation' received on Saturday, at the offices of the Executive Committee of the Central Relief Fund, included one of 250 rabbits and 100 pheasant, from the Maharajah Dhuleep Singh, 1,0001. from Mews. Overend, Gurney, and Co., and a second sum of 1,0001. subscribed in Edin burgh. Mr. Mailers, the hon. secretary, has handed to us • number of communications received on Saturday, from which we make the following extracts : " 30, Bryanstoneesquare, W., Nov. 14. " My dear Maclure, —On Wednesday there will be opened a stall at the Soho Bazaar of things made in the sewing schools in Lamaahire. The goods will be sold at the price at which they were bought from the Dewing schools, and 8 per cent. to oover carriage, salaries, advertisements, &a It there is any balance ou the right side (?) it will be divided amongst those schools who have supplied us. One of the large firma in London have most kindly given me all the facilities of their Manchester house for the reception and transmission of the goods as we may order them. Ws hope the bulk of the orders will be for distribution by the relief committees. Further information can he had from Mr. Geo. Moore. 15, Kensington Palameganleee ; Captain Fishbourne, R.N., 6, Delsonereterrace, Paddington ; or myself. Vie hope the support of the London public will enable us to give employment to many extra hands in the sewing chums—Yours, truly, " Rameroor." A letter from Mears. Guest and Chrimes, buses works, Rotherham, recommends to the proprietcre of large works a plan by which the relief fund would be augmented. They milled a meeting of their workmen, and stated to them the condition of the distressed Lancashire operatives, at the same time reminding them that the lack of employment might have been in Yorkshire instead. They then sug gested that the men should leave a certain rate per 1/. in the hands of their employers, to be devoted to purposes of re lief. The workmen immediately took the matter up, and Lmsed a resolution amongst themselves, agreeing that at Lot a minimum of 2) per cent., or 6d. in the 11.. of 'their wages should be set apart for the relief of the Lancenhire operatives. The whole of the larger manufacturina of the neighbourhood cordially approve of this pier, and intend to bring it before their workmen. The weekly offerings of Messrs. Gnat and Chrimes' workmen will amenot to from 81. to 101. per week. A letter from Mr. Sumner, the hon. treasurer, and Mr. E. F. Sichel, the hon. secretary of the Victoria Lancashire Relief Fund dated Melbourne, the 25th September, 186?, and addreesea to the Mayor of Manchester, states that they have again forwarded to Means. 'Lloyd and Co., bankers of Manchester, • draft en the Unica Bank of Australia, Loudon. for 1,00 W., with the request that the proceeds be placed at the immediate disposal of the Mayor and Aldermen of Manchester, making (say the writers) in all, with our former remittanont 10,5601. 15e. 11d. ; • sum by no means inconsiderable, al th ough we are afraid that it will wane into sad insignificance in view of that distress towards the relief of which it is to form a part.

THE POLICE COURT& YANSION•HOUSE Two respectably-dreeseely;iniiomen,ldesci:bedassisters, named Fenn, King and Eliza King, were placed at the bar of the Mansion-house, on remand, before the Lord Mayor and Mr. Alderman Abbies, sitting in petty,sessions, charged with robbing their employer, Mr. Lawrence, the landlord of the Half-moon public-house, Gractchurch-street. Mr. Child, the solicitor to the Licensed Victuallers' Pro tection Society, appeared for the prosecution; and Mr. Wont- Der attended to watch the case on behalf of the prisoners. Mr. Child addressed his lordship and said the prosecutor, Mr. Lawrence, kept the Half-moon in Gracechurchttreet, and the two prisoners, who were sisters, were in his service as housemaids. They entered his service about the month of August, and, strange to say, as soon as they were in the house, Mr. Lawrence's receipts began to dimi nish very seriously. the prisoners, it was noticed, were spending money in • most extravagant manner, having ' bought daring the two months they were with Mr. Law rence no leas tin eleven dresses between them. The pro 'mentor felt satisfied that he was being robbed to the extent of 121. or 151. • week, and his suspicions having become excited against the prisoners, on Saturday week be called in the aid of the police, and the officer, M'Leod, who had the prisoners in custody, caused some money to be mirked and given to parties to purchase articles at the bar. On Monday It'Leod was sent for to the prosecutor's house, and on searching a box which belonged to the prisoner Eliza, and which she said had not been opened since she had been there, he found amongst other money a half-crown, with the mark he had put on it on Satoeday. The prisoners were searched Fthe female searcher,aod in the bootee( the other prisoner, nny, four half-crowns were found, two in each boot, one of which was marked. Under these circumstances the prisoners were given into custody. It was only right for him to state, however, that the prisoners had been in cor respondence with some men at Sheerness, who it had promised marriage to one of the prisoners, a:l P : re det that promise she had been induced to supply him with money, for the purpose of purchasing him clothing to be married in, and he bad no doubt they had been io a great measure led to commit these frauds upon their employer by the prompting' and promises of this fellow at Sheerness. Witnesses having been examined in support of the charges, Mr. Wontner, on behalf of the prisoners, said they be longed to a highly respectable family who bad resided at Isleworth for upwards of 100 years, and not one member had until the present time had a stein or blemish upon their cha racter, sod it was a most painful thing to see two young females so respectably connected as they undoubtedly were, brought to the bar of justice upon such a charge. They were sincerely repentant for the elms they had committe and desired to plead guilty to the charge, in the hope that his lordship would deal leniently with them • and he him self sincerely hoped that his lordship and kr. Alderman Abbias would not feel that they were called upon to pass upon them the extreme sentence which the law empowered them. With regard to the observalaone of Mr. Child respecting their male acquaintance at Sheerness, he maid there was little doubt, from letters which were found on the prisoners, that they were true. and he submitted the probability, if it had not been for the wicked promptiogs of their male correspondent already referred to, the prisoners would still have remained perfectly honest; but,led on by thebad companion with whom they had by some means become acquainted, they had been induced to do that which otherwise they would not have thought of. He thought there must be some mistake, however, when Mr. Child stated that the prosecutor had been robbed to the extent of 121. or 151. a week. Losses might be sustained in a business of that kind in various ways, and be hardly thought it likely that en large an amount could have been purloined. Mr. Lawrence, in answer to this latter suggeition of Mr. Wonkier's, said that during the weeksthe prisoners had been in custody, his receipts had been more in six days than they had been in six weeks while the prisoners were with him ; cod he was convinced his lessee while they bad been with him had been from 121. to 15/. in the week. The Lord Mayor, after conferrin g with Mr. Alderman Abbies, maid they had considered the case very carefully, and were anxious to give every weight to the remarks of their advocate, and to believe tbit they bad been led into the eels of dishonesty with which they were charged by bed co-opany. It was a very serious case, but they thought the Josttce of the case might be met by paining a comparatively light sentence. He then tentenced them each to four months' imprisonment with hard labour. The prisoners, who were very mush affected during the whole of the proceedings, were removed fr.= the bar crying bitterly. BOW-STREET. _ _ The attention of the magistrate was called to about thirty applicants for relief, who said they had been unable to obtain admission to the Strand Union Workhouse as casual paupers. An officer was sent to make inquiries, and found that the relieving officer was dl, and could not attend to busi• ncss ; the union officer was not to be found, and another man, the messenger, was out visiting the poor. Not being able to get any satisfactory explanation of how the poor people were to obtain admission, Mr. Corns went himself to the Strand Union Wo-khouse office, where, after some time, he made arrangements for having the poor re. wired and their wants attended to. Ernest Copeland was charged with dolling a coat and trowners, value 31. 34., in December last, from Mr. Phil lips, a tailor, of High Holborn. In December last the prisoner went into Mr. Phillips's shop sad purcha_ed a coat and pair of trousers, which he directed to be sent to 13, Clifford's-inn, to be paid for on de'ivery. The boy who carried the articles was ordered not to leave them without the money. When he got to 13, Clifford's-ion the prisoner met him at the door, and asked him to walk ir:o the lower office while be went up stairs to try the clothes on. He then showed the boy into the office, who after he bad waited some time made inquiries, and found that the prisoner was not known in the house, and be had started off the moment he had shown the boy into the office. On his arrest he denied all knowledge of the affair, but upm being told that he would be taken to the dad° I he replied, " Pray don't do that. Take me to my brother, who is a respect able man, who would rather pay than allow me to be locked up. . The constable said he thought the clothes bad bees pawned, and he expected to be able to find them. The prisoner was committed for trial. CLERKEN WELL. --- • - Mrs. Ann Sawyer. residing at 10, Span'eanildings, Somers Town, was summoned before Mr. D'Eynoourt charged with nalawfull7 swanking and beating Mrs. Elise Hodges, residing at 18, in the said buildings. The complainant said— Your worship, I have known the defendant a great many years, and we used to be on visiting terms, and many pleasant boors have we spent together over a cup of tea. (A laugh.) Now we are at daggen drawn, and only because of the—one of her brother/ came borne from us about six months ago, and he has and I have accepted him as my future husband. (r17:11 That has annoyed her, and instead of loving me u • sister, she annoys me and cells me bad names. On Saturday night one of her brothers, whine:friendahip I intend to keep, and who will not give up mine on account of his sister, called on me. Whilst we were chatting together the defendant knocked loudly at my abutters, called me bad names, and shoved her fiat in ray face, but did not strike me. I am a reapectable woman, a widow with a young family, and I want to be protected from the defendant's violence. The defendant, in reply to the charge, said that the corn. plaisant had decoyed away her brother, who was a single young man, and she did not wish any of her relatives to visit her. Mr. D'Eyncourt told the defendant that be should think that her brother did not require a nurse—la laugh) —or, at all events, any of her nursing, as he was old enough to take care of himself. He should dismiss the summons, and he should advise the defendant not to annoy the complainant in any way. The complainant asked for her expenses ; but they were refused. WORSHIP-STREET. John Paget Promlet, • tall, military-looking man, 50 years of age, who has lately obtained notoriety - by sending threatening letter to Sir Richard Mayne, was charged with having threatened the life of Martha Harvey, whereby abs was in danger and tear of some bodily harm. The conduct of the prisoner was stated to have recently been of a most violent description. He had threatened to stab his wife, and had applied the most abusive expres sions to her. The complaisant was the daughter of his wife by a farmer husband, and when she called at his reddraws, aad attempted to interfere to prated her milder, the primer threatesed to lake her aad behaved is so violist a manner that she swore to being is danger o( her life.

THAMES. Thwitiliwe Meier. s dertitsq our brought bijou L lft. & slag* with Amami those 1862. hats, valued at 13e., the property of Mr. Henry Storey, batter, of No. 38, High-street, Bow. A few evenings since the prosecutor went into his cellar, and directly afterwards beard a noise in his shop. On looking through a grating he maw the prisoner leaving his shop with throe new hats in his hands. Mr. Storey imme diately went in pursuit of the prisoner, who ran away as fast as he could. Mr. Storey soon came up with him, sod took the hats from him. The prisoner again ran away, and soon found himself in a court at the end of which there was no thoroughfare. He was than secured, and given into the custody of a police-constable. On being asked by Mr. Storey why he took the hats, he said be was very hungry and bad nothing to eat Inquiries had been made about the prisoner since the first examination, but nothing had transpired. He now said he was a painter, and lived in a little street in Ilford, and that he was quite innocent of the robbery. "The gentleman batter was quite mistaken about him, and he never had the hats in his posaresion." This was deli. vered in German. Mr. Storey-1 can't be mistaken. The prisoner had the bate under hie um, and others saw him in the coati endea vouring to make his escape. Mr. Selfe committed the prisoner for trial. NAVAL AND MILITARY. WOOLWICH, Nov. 16. About 200 workmen were yesterday discharged from the several departments of the Royal Arsenal, making an aggregate;of upwerds of 5,000 who have lett theestablish• meat during the put six months. At present a further re. duction is not expected, but the system of overtime has been abolished in the Armstrong gun factories and other de. partmeits. PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 16. The Urgent, iron screw troop ship, Captain Henry William Hire, steamed into harbour yesterday to land military isvalida from China, and to pay off. The Victoria and Albert, royal screw yacht, Captain G. H. Seymour, G. 8., arrived at Portsmouth yesterday after noon from Antwerp, last from Gravesend. MARKETS. TALLOW.—fluvanar Bynum—The market ,a steady to-day. Price4closed as follows :—Spot, new, 465. 6d.; old, 465. 9d. ; December, 465. 6d. to 465. 9d. ; January to March, 47e. ; Much, 475. 6d. Delivery to feet events& 1,772 osaks ; arrivals ditto. 8,119 casks. 001TON.—LrvinrooL, Nov. 15.—The market is quiet, with a very small business. The sales are 1,000 hales, chiefly Surat, at 13d. to 164 d. Egyptians are quoted at 19d. to 28d., and /lambkins at 22d. to 220. One half the amount of balm sold are for speculation and export. COTTON GOODS.—MAzczeirrun, Nov. 115.—The gm gate of business over the entire week has been exceedingly insignificant. There has been rather more inquiry, and some few sales io consequence of prime declining to the rates asked before the late advance, but the sales have only embraced very small parcels. There are no purchasers except for small assorted orders. Manufacturers, in a few instances, have been rather more anxious to realise, and have em- powered their agents to make a sacrifice to which they would not have listened a few weeks ago, but even in such ass it has been difficult or impossible to find buyers. The cause of this appears to be that merchants have little confidence in the high range of prices still prevailing, in the face of ea much cotton at LiverpooL There is a belief on all hands that without some unexpected changes in the American question prices will ultimately rally again, and may even be carried higher than they have ever yet been, but buyers believe that they must go much lower before that eau happen, and it remains to be seen how far holders of cloth will be able or disposed to keep their stocks in the face of BO many risks WI may intervene ere prices can again advance so as to cover those risks. WOOLLEN.—Lama, Nov.ls.—The markets this morn ing were only indifferently attended, and the amount of business transacted was not great. In the coloured hall • few parcels of tweeds were disposed of, and also sampled of spring fabrics for the approaching season. Rates maintain their firmness ; in fact, any change is of an upward tea dewy, which is fully to be accounted for by the slight ad vance in wools at yesterday's London sales. The white hall was comparatively quiet ; • few witney and beavers met with purchasers, also samples of white mediums for spring, but the aggregate transactions were inconsiderable. HARDWARE.—Brannrogsm, Nov. 15.—Then has been a slight 101 l experienced in the country trade since our last report ; orders received through the factors have slightly fallen of. But notwithstanding this at almost all the manufactories the non are working fall time upon orders, and at some of them there are sufficient on the books to continue this a few weeks. In respect of none of the staple trades does there appear to be much ground for complaint ; it is chiefly applicable to some at the fancy trades which have never yet more than partially recovered from an unusually lengthened period of depression. The effect of this is felt, too, more from the circumstance of stocks having accumulated which have not yet been wholly cleared off. Independently of this, the state of trade in the town continues healthy, and the country ironmongers are doing a fair amount of business except in the purely agricultural districts. The foreign trade is pretty good for the time of year ; the continental branch of it is quite up to the average, and there are a fair supply of orders in for the Cape and for South America. The iron trade in this district is !ether quieter; orders have slackeoed during the last fortnight, lees disposition to eater into fresh engagements having been manifested by the Liver pool houses; still the South Staffordshire and East Worms tenhini ironmasters have contracts on hand entered into some time since sufficient to keep the worksfully going ; and, under any circumstance', this will be the cam for some time to come. At the plate mills there is a good supply of orders. The demand for pig-iron is steady ; the prime of quarter. day for good mine iron are tally maintained. CORN.—Csiosmoz, Nov. 15.—Wii had again a very doll market for all corn, and last week's prices were out maintained, except for as t hing very fine.

About the middle of last month two rose suddenly made their appear. anoe in town lades with • bag containing oo lee, than 8714, weight of Ilse gold. As soon as the fact became known the plan was in a hubbub of excitement ; and when, as the re sult of • necooistioe with the provinnial government, by which the discoverers were to receive 2,0001., monad 16,C30 ounces of gold were produced in three menthe, the locality was nada known, a rush commenced, and continued far several days unparalleled in the annals of Dueedia. Hundreds of Bl•provided, inexperienced men started off with little or no acquaintance of the route moat easy and practica ble, only I. meet with sufferings sod privations of the 121014 aapppalling kind. Lucrative employments were redly abandostd, situations thrown up, and the most reckless do termination manifested to seek at all hazards an early claim at the new El Dorado. For a mason apprehensions wanes. tertained lest numbers who had started without due preps ration would actually die of starvation. It was known that supplies could not be obtained within anything Ps a reasonable distance of the field, and that the road to it was all but impracticable for laded drays. And the first tidings that reached Dunedin from the spot went far towards confirming these fears. No acted deals from destitution were reported, but it was said that swam of half famished men irate daily arrivine4that the various stations on the MOO were actually by ma imploring for morsels of food, while, to crow' the mod unfavourable representations as to the value of the dir covery were in circulation. It was said that the richness of the ground had been grossly exaggerated, and that very few of those engaged in digging were making enough to procure food. This bad a tendency to sober down the excivemeut and restore the remaining population to a frame of mod more rational than had been exhibited.
