It was stated that .Isiylight was most essential for u sainining old clothes, or otherwise pain brokers were iy to lw defrauded by "duffers," who made pledging theii tasito.sl, and woo toed "black reviver" to a con r•blerible extent. Ouse of the learned counsel observed that it was well known that a gentleman could go to a dinner party in the winter with a coat that would pass as a very good one, but which he would be ashamed to wear in the summer semen when he dressed by daylight. A used up clerical salt, with the light mowing through stained glass windows and assisted by candies, passed very well, but the wearer would be ashamed of it in the light. It was also stated that pawnbrokers whose shops hail not a sufficiency of light were subject to imposition by the pledging of spu rious articles, the object being to get full value of the goofs and leave them on the hands of the pawnbroker.

COURT OF It N KRUPTCY. (Before Kr. Commissioner Goalburs.) IN ME o;. r. IIMI TK The bankrupt was a solicitor, of Wt.Swithin's-lane, who bad been largely engaged in promoting public companies. The case has been frequently before the court, and the figures have been published at length. The aggregate lia bilities are 3.5,900 if., but the figures on the other side of the account are of larger amount. representing claims on various companies, many of them doubtful. Mr. Graham, the official assignee, suited, in answer to the court, that there had been 12 adjournments in this Mr. Munna, for the assignee. offered no opposition to the bankrupt having his order of discharge. It had been objected, on a former occasion, that Mr. Muddelle, the assignee, was himself a bankrupt in Mr. Commissioner Holroyd's court, but it should be stated that he had now obtained his order of discharge. Mr. Reed opposed for Mr. Thorp, of Leeds, a creditor for upwards of 10,0001. The bankrupt, examined, stated that Mr. Thorp's debt hail been contracted in connexion with Kr. Shield, a railway contractor, who received the money. He was also liable for 10,0001. to the Agra and Masterman's Bank on the same account. He had been connected, either .8 promoter or shareholder, with the Bedford Hotel Company and Brighton Laundry Company, the Brighton Hotel and Club Company, the Public Works Credit Company, the English and Irish Asamistion, the Inns of Court Hotel Company, the Metropolitan lee Company, the Marine Estates Company, the Leamington Railway Company, and several others. He believed Shield to be a substantial man when he in- curved these liabilities for him. Shield had been bankrupt three timed. He bad had a house in London, and one at Brighton, paying :COL rent. Had kept two horses in London. Mr. Reed urged that the case came within three of the elanses of the act—those against exceeeire expenditure, rub speculation, and contracting debts without probable means of payment. Though the bankrupt showed a sur plus on lus balance-sheet of 10,0001., all that had been realised wu about 2001. Mr. Lawrence, for the bankrupt, stated that he bad been upwards of two years in the bands of his creditors, he having executed a deed of arrangement in January, 1865, and the bankruptcy having occurred in December, 1865. The bankrupt had been bitten by the unhappy mania of railway speculation At • time when the whole world was road on the subject. He had lost his profes. sional status, and that was a greater punishment than any that could be inflicted by the court. His Honour said the case was peculiarly circumstanced. There had been twelve adjournments ; the assignee, a large creditor, offered no opposition ; and the only oppo sition was by an individual creditor, whose debt was to some extent secured. Looking at the length of time that the case had been before the court, the question was whether the bankrupt had not suffered enough already. The court had embarked in the case with no very favourable feeling towards the bankrupt ; it had a very great aversion toper sons in the position of solicitors, who ought to advise others, theimelves rushing into a load of liabilities in con nection with joint-stock companies; but the time had ar rived when this man ought to have his quietus. His conduct was certainly open to grave reprehension; he had no doubt contracted debts without pro bable means of payment, and bad indulged in malt and hazardous speculation. It was evident that the creditors had reviewed the case favourably from the fact of their having concurred in • deed of arrangement, and now, out of a multitude of creditors, only one appeared to oppose, and he had shown great malignity in his opposition throughout. The court would not lend itself to such a feeling. To mark its sense of the conduct of the bankrupt, the court would order a short s u s pension of the discharge, dating it front January, 1865, and making the suspen sion two years and nine months from that period ; this would give the bankrupt his order in October next. Br. Reed asked for the costs of his opposition, but his honour refused to allow them. (Before Mr. Commissioner Winslow.) IN Rs THOMAS FITZMAUNCE BURR& The bankrupt, described as of Clarendon-place, Maids bill, of no business or occupation, applied for his release from custody. He stated that his debts are about 1000/. He bad an intere.t under the will of his father, General Burke, but that interest was forfeited by bankruptcy. He had an allowance of 500/. or 6001. a year under his father's will, but it was discontinued when he went to rison. His Honour said he could only grant the dischargeon the bankrupt finding sureties in mt. THE POLICE COURT& (THIS DAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. THE CHARGE OS STEALING SPANISH SONIA. Henry Forrester surrendered this morning before the Lord Mayor to be further examined upon the charge of receiving two Spanish bonds, value 4.W., which were the property of a lady named Walters, and were stolen from her in the London Joint-Stock Bail. union,;l:;appea;ed for the prosecution, said that the witness Foote, upon whom the case principally depended, and for whose apprehension a warrant had bbeeeen issued, was still out of the way, and there did not appear to he any probability of bringing him forward. The Lord Mayor said that under these circumstances the only coons he could take was to discharge the prisoner. BOW-STREET. THI ORGA/I-ORINDING NrITSANCT. .4119d0 Ruai, an ltalbm organ-grinder, was charged before Mr. Vaughan with continuing to play his organ in Creyboundmourt, Strand, after being requested to go away for just and reasonable cause. As the prisoner either could not or would not under stand what was said to him in English, the evidence was tiplaillell to him by an interpreter. A poor woman named Mary Anne Leigh, living in Creyhoundmourt, stated that the prisoner was playing his organ in front of the house in which she lives, when ohs went out to him and asked him to go away, as her husband was very sick and ill, and could not bear the noise. The prisoner laughed in her face, clapped his hand', stamped on the pavement, and made signs to her to turn the handle herself. He then began playing again. Finding that ha would pay no attention to her remonstrances, and being afraid of the consequences to her husband, who had been bedridden four years, and suffered much from any such disturbance, she sent for a policeman and gave the prisoner ID custody. l'olice-constable F IGS said he was called to the spot, THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 21, 1867. and found the prisoner playing his organ furiously, laugh ing at the complainant, and by gestures defying her. The prisoner, who had repeatedly interrupted with com ments and denials in the course of the interpretation, was now called upon for his defence, and replied that he had nothing to say. Mr. Vaughan said the prisoner had behaved very badly; but as till. was his first offence, he should only fine him 15a., or 10 days, instead of the full penalty of 405., or one month. The fine was paid, and the prisoner went away grinning at the complainant and the officers. LATEST SPORTING INTELLIGENCE (BT TELEGRAPH.) STOCKIMIDGE MEETING.—(THIS DAY.) WESTMORLAND PLATE. New mile.

John 1611. e, a non-unionist tailor, and Jalia Kelly, his wife, appeared before Mr. Knox, to answer a summons, charging them with applying for relief at the workhouse of St. James's pariah, having at the time of such applica tion in their possession and under their immediate control money and property, of which, on inquiry made, they did lint make correct and complete diechaures. Mr. Buzzard, vestry clerk and clerk to the governors of the poor of St. James's, attended to prosecute, and in opening the case, stated that he appeared to prosecute the defendant. under the 11th and 12th Viet cap. 110, sec. 10, the charge against them being for obtaining relief from the parish while they hail the means of living without it. The wife of the defendant Kelly, who was a journeyman tailor, living with his family in Windmill-street, St. James's, ap plied in the month of September last for relief, stating that he was in great distress, only earning 5.. or 6s. a week, and that he required relief. The assistant overseer gave the defendant relief, and continued it for a long period, the amount of relief averaging Ss. Sr 91. a week, and the total amount being about 15f. By mere accident it transpired that the defendant, John Kelly, had, during the whole of the period he had been receiving relief from the parish been earning 30a. or 325. • week, being employed by a respectable firm in Savile-row, and the governors of the poor of the parish, feeling that they had a public duty to perform, and that they ought to make an example of such flagrant conduct on the part of the defendants, had instituted the present proceedings. The assistant-overseer of St. James's and the assistant. relieving officer having been examined, Mr. Charles Williams, tailor, of Savile-row. said that the defendant, John Kelly, was at work for him during the whole of the time spoken of by the previous witness at average weekly wages of V. 12s. Gd. One of the governors of the poor stated that in conse quence of its being represented to him that the defendant had been receiving relief, and that they were undeserving persons, he made inquiries, and found that to he the fact. He was recommended Logo to his employer, and he did so, and Mr. %Villiains was kind enough to tell him what belied stated in court. Afterwards finding that the female defendant had applied to the parish for some clothing for the eldest girl, about 15 years of age, to go to serrioe, he went to the defendants and asked them whether that was the case, and the man said it was quite true. Looking round the room, and seeing some coats, he remarked to the man that he seemed to have work, and he said that he could only make two of the coats a week, and that he had • difficulty in earning more than Gs. • week as he worked for a shop. He afterwards went to the shop alluded to by the man and found that no such man was employed by them, and Mr. Williams further stated that the coat. the Mill was at work upon were his coats. He asked the man whether he bad received beef tea and other things, and he admitted that he had, and that his children had the bread and cheese. He asked the man whether he had had any money, and after deny ing it he acknowledged that his wife had had it, but said he had been in great distress and had had no work. He told the man that as the strike was going on he might have got work somewhere, and he then said that he could not work for a regular shop. The man then showed him his rent book, pointing out that he had had a die tress in his place, and showed him the duplicate of a coat, but he afterwards ascertained that the very week he pretended his goods were seized he received from his em ployer 11. lls. and 9s. worth of relief from the parish. Mr. Samue l Tett, inquiring officer, said he called on the defendant John Kelly, and asked him if he was in the employ of Mr. Williams, and he said that he did a little for him, but he represented his pay to be different to what Mr. Williams had stated. He admitted receiving relief for six months. From inquiries he (Mr. Tett) had made he found that the man was • notorious drunkard. The defendant John Kelly said that having been ill he applied for a little relief, and received it, and it was con tinued. He had not received the amounts stated. Mr. Knox said he wondered the defendant (John Kelly) bad the face tossy what he had. It appeared from he employer that he had been in receipt of wages averaging U. 12s. a week, and yet he bad been by a trick drawing from the authorities money intended for the really poor and destitute. It was shown that he was a man of drunken habits, and that was the way in which the money be received was spent. He considered their conduct abomi nable and he should commit them for a month each with hard labour, and he very much regretted that the act did not go further, for both defendants deserved it. WORSHIP-STREET. DARING HIGHWAYROBUIT._ Santee/ Austin, described am a hawker, living in Dorset street, fipitalfields, was brought before Mr. Cooke, b Inspector Waterfield, of the N division , charged with being concerned in feloniously assaulting and stealing from the person of Mr. Charles Patterson Thurget, • builder, Hein in Templar-road, Hackney, a gold watch, • gold Albert chain, two gold seals, and two gold coins, value 201. Prosecutor, himself • powerful man, deposed—Shortly before 10 o'clock last n igh t I was driving • light pony chaise in the Pownall- Hackney. I was perfectly sober and alone. Suddenly the head of the horse was seised by some man, another sprang into the vehicle from behind and • third at the aide. The animal stopped; the last man alluded to struck me a violent blow in the face, and I was flung on to the ground. I became insensible, and remained motor three or four minutes. I got up and stood at the back of the chaise ; presently • gentleman brought the prisoner to me. I believe. but will not swear, prisoner is one of the men who stopped the chaise. Mr. John Henry Kouter—About 20 minutes before 10 o'clock I was standing opposite my residence, 34, POWlSAll road. I noticed the attack and the scuffle as detailed by the prosecutor ; then there was • cry of " My watch, my chain." The prisoner ran off in one direction, the others in another. I pursued the primmer • • quarter of a mile, captured, and took him back to prosecutor, who was standing in the road. He war then apparently recovering his recollection. I sent for • constable. John Msgnnr , of ii:iio g ofroTilrood, gave similar testi mony, adding that the man who got into the chaise at the back, assisted in throwing the prosecutor out. Prosecutor recalled—deposed that on recovering his chain was hanging from his dress, and a woman gave him his watch from the road. _ _ _ Inspector Waterfield said that woman bad not been dis covered, and there was nothing tending to lead to a dis covery of prisoner's associates. Mr. Cooke intimated his intention to send the prisoner to Neirgate for trial. WANDSWORTR. TUX CABI pl NTAILVINO A 1110 Y. - MAMMAL FOB TRIAL. Henry Blucher Ryland, who was descrilr das a cooper, of No. 3, Rosetta-street, South Lambeth, and Hanna* Ryland, his wife, were finally examined on the charge of starving and cruelly treating Frederilr George Ryland, aged sev en years, the son of the male prisoner by a former mamage. Mr. West, from the office of Messrs. Sheen and Ram*, solicitors to the Society for the Protection of Women and Children, again attended to prosecute ; and Mr. Mayo ap peared for the prisoners Police-oonstable Luda.% 259 W, was re-ended, and stated that he weighed the child this morning in the same scales and in the same clothes, si.d found that he now weighed 301 be., when be first weighed the boy he weighed only 2fiflbs., and on the second examination 2S lb. Mr. Duman said the boy had increased in weight 14lb. mince last week. Mr. A. 0. Grosvenor, the surgeon of Lambeth Union, stated that he examined the boy on Thursday, the 6th instant, on his admission into the workhouse. He was in a greatly emaciated condition, his voracity was great, and he had symptoms of incipient consumption in the intes tines. His opinion was that these symptoms ware not constitutional, but produced from inhaling a bad atmos phere, and of an insufficiency of food. He had seen the washbowls, and found that it was anything but a proper place in which a child should be kept, whetherin a healthy state or not. It would be injurious to the health of any child to sleep in it night after night. Since be first saw the child its appearance had altered materially. He was improved both in face and abdomen. Mr. James Edmondson, another surgeon, also said he had seen the washhouse. It was a lean-to, 2 yards by If, the highest part being 10 feet. It was a slimed roof, not plastered on the inside, and the place was totally unfit for any human being to sleep in. Sleeping there would injure the health of the child or that of any person. Mr. Mayo, on the conclusion of the case for the prosecu tion, commenced to address the magistrate, stating that the child was not placed in the wasbhouse with any inten tion of acting cruelly to him, but solely for the purpose of correcting his dirty habits, when Mr. Dayman told him that it was his intention to com mit the prisoners for trial, and it would be as well for him to reserve hie defence. _ _ _ The prisoners were then fully committed for trial ►t the next Surrey Session. ; and on the application of Mr. Mayo, Mr. Dayman said he would accept bail for their appearance. ARBITRATION VERSUS STRIIBB.—A meeting of the laoe merchants of Nottingham friendly to arbitration was held in the Corn Exchange of that town m Monday last, when a committee was appointed, molar the presi dency of Mr. Louis Heymann, to form a board of arbitra tion to settle disputes in the lam trade, seek board to consist of employers and workmen.

This morning, at seven minutes past 12, the weather being similar to that of the previous day, and company again numerous, play in this match was resumed. Last night, when time was called, Nottinghamshire had lost four wickets for 95 runs, Daft being not out with 14, and Paling, not out, 12. To-day they again occupied the wickets and Mr. R. D. Walker delivered the first ball to Paling, who got a single off it. Mantle opened the attack ,at the other end, and very well he bowled. Paling hit Mr. R. 1). Walker heavily, beginning with a very fine off drive for 5, sub sequently he was let off three times, viz., at point, deep mid-off, and aftewards escaping a run out. He then drove Mantle for 4. Daft acted mainly on the defensive, and together the pair raised the score to 121, when Paling in an attempt to drive a ball of Mr. R. D. Walker, got under it and it fell into the hands of Mr. V. E. Walker at point. This young player's 26 was a useful contribution, and was made by some very fair hitting. Grundy followed, and runs came steadily, the pace of one per minute not being maintained.

ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.—III connexion with the approaching meeting of this society at Bury St. Edmund's, it may be stated that convenient arrangements have been made by the Great Eastern Railway Company. The accommodation for the goods tragic is nearly com pleted, and is of a vary ample character. A platform, 300 feet in length, has been constructed in the immediate neighbourhood of the show-yard, and close by are four sidings of considerable length, extending eastwards. A carriage dock has also been made for the unloading of ma chines, which will travel thence to the show-yard on their own wheels. The company will commence the delivery of goods on the Let of July, and nearly everything will be on the ground by the 9th of July. The entire arrangements of the show-ground have beendevieed by Mr. Hunt, of Eve sham, Worcestershire, the society's surveyor. The con tractor (Mr. Penny, of Taunton) has employed upwards of 700 loads of timber in the construction of the shedding. The show-Geld is about 40 scree in extent. Mr. Brandreth Gibbs, to whom the general arrangements of the show are entrusted, has visited Bury St. Edmund's this week, and in company with Mr. Hunt bas minutely inspected the works on hand. Br. PAUL ' S ficaooL.—The old Pauline dinner will be held on Tuesday, the 2nd of July, at Willis'. Rooms, Bt. James ' s, at 6.30 p.m., when the chair will be taken by Mr. J. G. Arnold, the well•known Westminster police magistrate. THE ARCHDUCHESS MATHILDR.—The grievous death of the Archduchess Mathilde has produced a pro found impression in Vienna. The medical journals give the following details :—The great revive caused by the burns, and the consequent destruction of large surfaces of the body, produced mental exhaustion. In her last days the patient was constantly in a bath, which contributed !neatly to lessen her V i rc ZUL Yes. terday morning, at 5 o'clock, the e Albert approached the patient, who addressed her father in these words in a voice hardly intelligible : " How are you? Have you slept well?" The father, bowed down with grief, replied only by addressing the same question to his daughter. She said, " I have been very quiet all night, and feel myself very weak." A moment after she gave a deep ugh and breathed her last. Dr. Schmeriing was the only witness of this moving scene. The countenance of the princess was in no way changed by death, sad bore no marks of the agony of the struggle ; it retained its love liness—no burn had disfigured it. In themorniag Dr. Rokitsnaky performed the autopsy, and embalmed the body. The two arms presented extensive burns from the shoulder to the elbow ; the left arm was almost completely burnt ,• the back of the neck was only s li g htly burnt, but from the back to the hip was one extensive wound. The ankles were also burnt. The Archduchies Matbilde, a beautiful blonde, was born on January 29, 1846.—Britisk Medical Journal. EXTRAORDINARY DEMONSTRATION AT ANTWERP. —The late murder of N. Lenslet, station-master at Ant werp, and the suicide of the nun Schutz, by whom the crime was committed, have given rise to • singular mani festation of feeliagameng the working classes of that city. M. Lenglet appears to have been considered of • tyrannical and unjust disposition towards the servants of the com pany under him, as be is accused of having procured the dismiaml of Schutz, who bad lost an eye in the discharge of his duties, and whose conduct Is said to have been at all times regular. Great sympathy for &shuts is consequently felt among the workmen of Antwerp, who look upon him rather as • victim than a murderer, and 3,000 of their number resolved to organise • grand funeral ceremony on the occasion of his interment. The mayor of Antwerp, to prevent this manifestation, ordered the body to be buried secretly during the night, and on the procession arriving the follmnng day with • funeral car, the interment wee found to have already taken place. The disappointment of the people was so great that the police had considerable difaculty _in pre venting a serious riot.

The supply of English wheat so sale here to-clay was very moderate, but in fair avenge condition. Although the denisud was fur trom active, owing to the favourable accounts at band from most pare of England in reference to the growing crops, wheat being in full ear in some of the western counties, Monday's prices were fairly supported. We were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied with foreign wheat. All kinds moved off slowly, at late rates. !'lusting cargoes of grain were a slow inquiry, but not quotably lower. Toe dew samples of barley on the stands were taken off slowly, hut at fell quotations. The malt trade was in a sluggish state, at the late de• cline in prices. Good sound oats moved off freely, at full currencies, but inferior parcels were very dull, at late rates. Beans were quite as dear as on Monday, although the business doing in them was very moderate. The sale for peas was heavy, yet full prices were realised for them. The Hour trade was heavy, bat co quotable change took place in value. Seeds were inactive at late rates.

SUDDZN DEATH ON THE TEMPLE PHIL --(THUS Day.)—A shocking ease of sudden death occurred about half-past 11 this morning on the pier at the end of Reser street, Strand, in the presence of • number of persons, who were waiting the arrival of the steamers. The deceased, Henry Bennett, aged about 62, had been clerk to Mr. Levy, solicitor, No. 18, Surrey-street, Strand, for nearly twenty years. This morning be went to the office es usual, and after remaining there • short time, not feeling well, he left to go home. Residing at Bermondsey, he ed to the Temple-pier, and took • ticket re m :to Surrey side of London-bridge, and pend ing the arrival of the steamboat to convey him, seated himself on a form. While he was in that position Mr. Crane, ticket collector, observed him to fall forward. There were no signs of animation, and all attempts to restore the unfortunate man were in vain. The deceased was removed to King's College Hospital, but be had ceased to breathe for some time. The deceased (who was a married man) was a faithful servant, and much rlg gittANDlolll KER:MU RZLIZT FUND.—The committee recently formed in the City, and composed for the meat part of Greek merchants of high repute, for raising a fund for the relief of the Candiote refugees, re post that they have received contributions amounting to shout 10,0001. in all, in addition to liberal supplies of clothing and materials for garment., and that they at present remit 5601. weekly from this country to Athens, which is expended by &committee there, including most of the principal British residents, in providing shelter, food, and clothing to the destitute and otherwise perishing refugees, almost wholly women and children, who have escaped to Greece. The number th us maintained by the committee at Athens, of ',hie , . General Sir Richard Church is chairman, is 4,167, according to the latest accounts. There are, however, 600 more who were landed at the Phonies fortnight ago, and about 9,000 others who are distributed about Greece end the adjacent islands, making • total of nearly 14 000. Owing to the constant increase in the number of these utterly destitute fugitives the Relief Committee, acting in conjunction with that of the City of London, have been compelled to diminish the little pittance which they were expending for their maintenance by one fifth. A letter re cei ved by the City committee on Monday last from General Sir Richard Church, writing from Athens, states that, apprehending • falling o ff in the sup plies f rom this country, the committee there had refrained from undertaking the chirp of the women and children, about 600 in somber who had been landed at the Piraeus, and that they had lelimt from authentic spumes that hun dreds more are waiting on the shores of Crete for opportu nities to embark. The Greek authorities and communities, be states, are doing all they can to provide for these poor refugees, but their means are entirely inadequate, and the raalarming.
