SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. THE PAST AND CURRENT WEIKS' MISTING& TO TIM WOOS Or 171 iltriNfa. SlR,—Serious difficulties have of late stood in the way of the pursuit of the "satirical pastime," the long drought having rendered it such bad going for hones, both at borne sad abroad, in most parts of the oountry, that the many extra thousands attracted to race meetings by the brilliantfreather, have to put up with seeing second-raters per form, in net came, and not • great number of these. There was not what could be called a large field running at Brighton or Lewes, sad, although supplementary to Good. wood, the racing will not bear comparison with that witnessed at the latter place, most of the good horses having had enough of it there for some time to come. We shall not see many of them again until DMZ the close of the season, the extensive entries for the Geserewitch, Cambridgeshire, Great Eastern, and October haadicaps, recently published, showing what • great many more horses than usual are in clover foe the " back end" nasetion,:which is only a natural consequence of their forced retirement. The St. Leger will lose a great deal of its in terest unless • change speedily takes places, for there is always the danger of others following in the wake of Scot tish Chief, whose severe work at Epsom and Ascot has eventually succeeded in stumping him up. The only St. Leger horses worthy of the name that ran last week were Peon and Historian, the former of whom was within an ace of beating Fille de l'Air on her merits at Brighton. It was not a Leonine race, perhaps, as they galloped barely a quarter of • mile, which just suited Peon, whose speed is not sufficient to recommend him for the Don caster event, as he lacks • more important quality. Histo rian, who might have beaten the Clown had he run straight, is another whose staying must be doubted ; but as a mile horse In will prove invaluable to Woodyeates some day, for to make the Clown really gallop was something, the latter's form having recently been proved A 1 by the performance* of the Tyke, Birch Broom, Master Richard, Tomato, and others be has of late exhibited a decided superiority over. Oae of the Goodwood celebrities, Mari met with an overthrow at Lewes, but it was not her tuning, and she is sure to do her friends • good turn again some day, unless haadicappers take great care of her. Dollar, too, had all his work to do to sustain his reputation, for having to make all his own running in the Brighton Cap he was nearly beaten by the Little Stag, who has • greater turn of speed, and would certainly have beaten him had this quality been made proper me of—or had the Stag been as game as hie companion, East Lancashire (re served for the Ebor Handicap), he would have beaten the Frenchman as it was. There were some strange doings on the part of the 2-yr-olds, Nukuhen winning the Brighton Nursery with "any quantity of weight in hand, and subse quently bowling over Anti-Macassar when givingthim equal to Slb, no real credit, however, being given her for the latter performance, as the lookers on thought Anti-Macamar should have won. He was undoubtedly heavily laid against, and as the defeat was necessary for htm to take • Slb allowance at Lewes for the rich Priory Stakes, it was argued he was pulled out for no other purpose. If so, nothing cameo( it, as he was beaten very easily by Attache, and ran so mode rately altogether that either his party were afraid of the demonstration" the public would have made had he won, or his good "second" to Victorious at Epsom was • " fluke," as the 9st Goodwood Nursery winner gave Attach... therein 211ba, and ran away from him at last. Several of the Stuns performers are engaged at the chief meetings of the current week, there being so many to take place altogether that the clashing will be felt by all, and more especially by Huntingdon and Wolverhampton, both corning off on Tue.day and Wednesday. The former is under good management, but I am afraid its revival will not be psirosised extensively by the quadrupeds, Lady Florence and Munchlusen having the three juvenile races, the Binh. ingbrook, Melton, and Nursery Stakes, between them, and Bak Edmund having little to fear in the principal handicap. nolverhamptoo promises some really good sport, and even if Dollar and Roadie meet for the great handicap, two miles, and frighten several out of the fields, the excitement of a contest between them at 81b. will make some &meads, for it must be • near thing, and the Goodwood Cup winner is entitled to but • slight preference over that of the Stakes. The Ermine Welter Cup distance will better please Despair and Revolver, who may both give the weight to Actieon ; and the half mile Stewards' Plate will just suit Confederate and Jane Shore. The Patella is only a selling race, and cannot be safely interfered with'; as, for instance, Ponsussion, who could win to • certainty, seems bound to remain at home, when she could be claimed for 100/., and it is elsodoubtful bout the best-looking of the ' others showing. In the Staff. ordshire Nursery, Zisca, Simple Maid, Contract, and Rose of Denmark are all temptingly weighted—the first-named especially -• aa was also Attache until he incurred a 71b penalty, which may drive him to the two-year-old Biennial, wherein he has the best of the weights with Lacs, Auditor, Money Spinner, and other winners, and he should just about win. The Chillington Stakes in the second day will be rather too much for him, as Victorious most beat every thing. However threatening Flying Fish may appear in the Borough Members' Plate, Twilight in the Holycake Handicap, and The Warrior in the Cleveland Cup, they must all be left for the first day's proceedings to throw a light upon ; and the Three-Year•Old Biennial is ea difficult to handle, being almost reduced to a question whether Ely. Baragah, or Lord Zetland will run, which te nee doubtful as regards the two first named, and the latter may find Gordan Knot rather too troublesome, even if he is mos. the starters. s. /tokensWillWetWe so remarkable as usual for its large fields, the extensive entry for the Nursery being in a measure spoiled by the lenient weight Nutcracker has slipped in at, very few being capable of successfully con tending against her. As Auglo-Sesou declined the Chain. peva at Brighton, be may leave the Easthampstead Park Stakes to Umpire ; and there will not be a first-clan horse, perhaps, oppwcg Belly Edmond, as the hard ground cannot serve Gibraltar. The Reading Stakes, in the absence of Brown Dayrell, mar fall to the share of Motley Spinner, but a moderate lot opposing her ; and the Abbey Stakesion the emend day (1 am t ;ming over the minor handicaps) has only iwo good performers engaged —viz., Benanoar and Jambe!, the latter being the superior of the two.—l am, Ac., METEOR.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT AND LOSS or THREE Lit DI AT GRAVIISEND.—On Saturday morning, about half-past 2 o'clock, • shocking accident occurred at Gravesend. Two men, Edmund Terry and Thomas Hinckley, were empty ing a cesspool in Passenger's-court, West-street. Klock's, went down with the intention of getting out some of the contents in buckets. He had been down hot afew minutes, hosever, whim he was seen to fall off the ladder by his son. who volunteered to go down the hole, but Terry, who had had more experience, went down the ladder, and got bold of Hinckley, and was in the act of lifting him up, when the gas rendered him insessitle. The son of Hinckley then west to the police station, where he saw Sergeant Coomber, of the police force, who returned with him, got a ladder, and was going down the bole ; when about six steps down the ' ladder be fell backwards. Every amistanee was then ren dered by the rest of the police, as also the niii6bouni. The body of Terry was recovered first, after the lapse of about half an hour. the foul air being so bed that it was impossible to get the other two bodies cut. Mr. W. F. White, police clerk, under the direction of Mr. Superinteodent discharged a No. 3 one fire annihilator, which expelled the foul air, and the other two bodies were then speedily recovered. The three bodies were quite dead when brought up, and they were at once removed to the dead house and cleansed. Drs. Sanders and Whittembe were in attendance, as also Mr. W. Fletcher. J.P., who rendered material aid and anistauee. Au inquest was held at the town-hall at soon before Mr. Hilder, when, after hearieg the evidence of several witness, • verdict of "Accidentally suffocated" was returned. _ _ RAILWAY.—The report of the direc ton states that the bill suborning the amalgamation of the Hid-Kent Company with the South Eastern Company has parsed both houses of parlisment, sad the arrangements for carrying its pruning into effect will be completed as early an practicable. The Addiscombe Extension was opened for public traffic on the Lt of April last, and the interest on the capital employed in its construction became from that date payable by the South Eastern Company. Toe revenue account shows a disposable balance of 2,61a1, Os. 9d., which enables the same divideod to be paid as last half-year, viz., at the rate of 61 per cent. per annum. leaving 151.0.. 9d. to be carried forward.

The Great Northern Company have signified their medium to subscribe 32,0001.

This wan an action of rather an extraordinary character. The plaintiff was a young lady named Janina Rowland, and the defendant was a gentleman named William Henry Poynder, and the damages were laid at 10.0001. The declaration alleged that the plaintiff bad undertaken to forego certain legal claims she had against the defendant, and that the latter, in consideration thereof, had agreed to give her 2,0001. and to make her an allowance of 61. per week. lo addition to this the declaration contained a count claiming damages from the defendant for a breach of pre miere of marriage. The defendant by bin plass denied that he bad ever made the contract or promise as alleged by the plaintiff. Serjeaot Ballantine, Berjeant Parry, Mr. Joyce, Mr. Talloard Salter, and Mr. Butler Rigby, were for the plain. tiff ; Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr. W. C. Wood were counsel for the defendant. .-- ----- When the ease was called on an endeavour was made by the learned counsel on both sides to tome to some amicable arrangement, but it was understood that the plaintiff in sisted epos having the cause tried. Salami Parry (in the absence of &Otani BaDentine) accordingly addressed the jury, and said that the duty de volved upon him of layiug_beAore them the facts of this most painful case. The defeMant was a man of very ggrro m att wealth ; he had landed estates in England, in Soot, and in other parts of the kingdom, besides which, at the death of his father, he came into possession of • very large sum of money. The plaintiff, who was at the time a beau tiful girl of 16, became acquainted with him in the year 1856, and he would briefly narrate the circumstances under which the present action arose. About the year in question the plaintiff was residing with her family at Needham, in Suffolk, but at the suggestion of a female bawd she resolved to come to London, and a situation was obtained for her at a café in the neighbourhood of the Haymarket. It was while in this position that she first bum acquainted with the defendant, who was • bachelor, and about forty years of age. It appeared that almost immediately the defendant saw the plaintiff be began to make love to her, and at his request, after they had been acquainted • short time, she consented to accom pany him to the Argyll-rooms. The jpry were poseibly aware of the nature of this place of amusement, and as the plaintiff wee fond of dancing, and the defendant did not , understand that accomplishment, it appeared that he took • gentleman with Lim to dance with the plaintiff. During the dance this gentleman appeared to have done all be could to induce the plaintiff to look favourably on the defendant. lie represented that he was • man of great wealth ; that he was very generous ; and that he was very much in love with her. All this seemed to have its effect, for on the same night the de fendant succeeded in seducing the plaintiff, and from that time until a few months ago they had cohabited together, and he was not in • pantiles to deny that the de fendant in • pecuniary sense had acted very generously to I the plaintiff. The jury had heard that one count of the de claration alleged that there had been a breach of promise of marriage, but as this count would depend entirely upon the evidence of the plaintiff, and she could not legally be eternised, be proposed to abandon that count, and to rely upon the other portion of the declaration, which was &chum for damages, on account of the defendant having failed to fulfil a contract that he had entered into with the plaintiff. The claim arose in this way. The plaintiff in 1862 was in pore session of • number of letters, sonic of which contaioed a promise to marry her, and the defendant, upon the con dition of her giving up these letters, promised to give her 2,0004 to buy a house with, and to make her an allowance of 6f. or 71. a week. For several months this allowance was kept up, but at length it ceased, and the defendant seemed to have broken off all connection with the plaintiff, and she wm consequently compelled to bring the present action to adorns what she considered to be her rights. He thought it right to tell the jury that he was in possession of other letters that had been written by the defendant to the plaintiff, but they were of such • character that he dared not read them, and they were not fit to be read in • public court. He proposed to read some portions of them merely to show the affectionate intimacy that had existed between the plaintiff and the defendant and his learned friend might read the rest if •he pleased, es his evidence, but be hoped he wield not think it necessary to do so. In conclusion he said be could not understand how the defendant, fur the sake of himself and his family, could have defended such an action—be was sure that he would not dare to put him self into the witness-box, and if be did not it appeared to him that the cause was really an undefended one. Jemima Rowland, the plaintiff, a tall, elegantly dressed young woman, of rather prepossessing appearance, was then called, but before she was sworn, Yr. Hawkins objected that her evidence was not admissible, and that in an action for breach of promise of marriage a plaintiff could not be legally examined. Serjeant Parry said be proposed to abandon that count &ad rely upon the contract he had referred to. The learned Judge, after some discussion, directed that • nolle prosequi should be entered upon the count for the breach of promise, and said that this being done he should allow the plaintiff to be examined. The plaintiff was then sworn and examined. She said that before she came to London the resided with her mother at Needham, in Suffolk ; but in the year 1836, at the suggestion of • friend of the family named Prince, else came to London. At this time she was sixteen years old. A situation was ob tained for her as barmaid at a café in Windmill-street, Haymarket, and after she bad been there about three weeks she made the acquaintance of the defendant, Mr. Poyoder. He used to come and have refreshments, and he told her that ha was very fond of her. Upon one occasion he inquired if she had ever been to the A 11-rooms, and she told him she had not, and be proposed to take her there, she consented. The defendant could not dance, and he brought • young man with him to dance with her. While they were dancing this young man did nothing but talk about Mr. Pounder. (A laugh.) Mr. Hawkins—We cannot go into that. We have nothing to do with what this young man mid. (A laugh.) Examination continued—The young man spoke in a very complimentary manner of the defendant, and said that be was very rich, and that she could see • copy of ha father's will in the 111astrakd Heim (A laugh.) After they bad been to the Argyll - rooms they went and had some supper, and the defendant asked her how old she was, sad afterwards wished her to go to his chambers, as he said he bad some thing of importance to communicate to her. He then took her to some house near the Haymarket. where an improper intimacy took place between them. She resisted at first, and duriog the time she was in the house she fainted. I After this the defendant took a lodging for her in Great Portland-street, aid be used to visit her at this lodging, and they passed as man and wife, trader the name of Prince. She removed from the lodging in Great Portland-street to another in Albany street, and the intimacy between her and the defendant continued for seven years, sad during all that period she kept • very good establishment, and the defendant supplied her with all the money she required. The witness then identified a number of letters that were produced as being the handwriting of the defendant, and she said that when be was in the country shooting she used to write to him every day, and he wrote to her very frequently. While she was on iatimate terms with the defendant she bad an offer of marriage from a gentleman of position and considerable wealth, the mayor of • large town in the north. All the letters that she received from the defendant previous to the year 1862 she returned to him, and he destroyed them. lu one of them the defendant told her that in the following year he would take her to Scotland as his wife. She esteem tiered upon one occasion that the defendant said something to her about his family having spoken to him on the sub ject of marriage, sad she asked him why he did not tell them that he was engaged to her, to which be replied that he could not do en, u he should have had to tell them who and what she was. He then said that if she would give up hie letters he would make a settle ment upon her and she should never want. He at the same time said that he would give her a house and furniture, and in the course of the eccversatioo he said that he would give her 2,0U01. to buy the house herself, as his name must mot appear in it. The defendant said at the same time that he would make her an allowance of 61. or 71. • week, and it was upon these condi tion that she gave him the letters. She often spoke to him afterwards upon the subject of the settlement, and he oiled to tell her not to bother him any more shout that, but to take his word, aid he also used to ask her if she wanted to get rid of him? In 1861 the defendant furnished • large home for her in Westbourne-tenece. It was expensively furnished. There was an establishment of servants, and they lived up to 1,2601. or 1,5001. • year. About the +nee time he gave her • parcel, which he mid contained railway shares worth 8.0001. or 10.0004, and which would produce her 5001. • year. She told him she did not understand them, and would rather not have them, and gave them back to km, aid he said he would arrange it in some other way. The defendant once introduced • captain in the army to her, and during his absence this gentleman made advances to her which she repulsed. She told Mr. Poyoder what had taken place, and he said be was not at all surprised at it (A laugh.) She informed the defendant that she bad had a proposal of marriage from a gentleman in the north. Two or three letters were then put io, and porticos of them were read, with a view to show that the parties sere on terms of affection towards each other. One was as follows :—" Dear Jess,—Ash Wednesday. All the theatre, are Closed. I will, if possible, come to you at 9 o'clock." In another letter the defeedaut said that he had been to a ball and had seen three beiresses--ene worth 30,0001., another worth 50,0UU:., and the third had b 0,0001.; but the last wee an awful specimen, and would be dear at asy price. (A laugh.) lir. Hawkins here observed that it appeared to him that these letters had nothing to do with the case, and if any more were read he should insist upon having the whole of their contents brooght before the court. 'Se east Parry said that if his learned friend did this, it would certainly be se well that all female, should retire. The only object he had in view in bringing some portions of the letters before the jury was to show that the putice were on terms of intimacy and affection. The jury interposed, and said there could be no doubt of that fact at the time the letters were written, and there fore it was unnecessary to reed soy more of them. The plaintiff then in further examination said that the defendant west to Scotland about nine months ago, and did not return to her. For some time be allowed her 61. • weak ; but within the last few months that allowance had bees stopped. Cromexarnined by Mr. Hawkins—Witham bad no mare Inters than these that had been produced. She was living with her mother at Needham. Her mother was • buildises widow. At the time she left the was sixteen yews old. The reason she went to London was, that she did not like to be a burden to her friend'. A penmen named Priam advised her to go to London, and she got her the situation at the cafe. She had only beers there a fortnight when she first maw the defendant. The house opened at six, and did not close till two or three the next morning, but witness went to bed at one o'clock. The place was fre quented by ladies and gentlemen, but she did not know at that time whether they were married or not. She knew now what sort of people they were. She did not at the time know that the cafe was • place where pros- Writes were in the habit of resorting with gentlemen. Her friends, Mr. and Mn. Prince, used to oome and visit her at the Gaff. She was behind the bar all the time between 6 and 1 o'clock. The defendant did not come there and " chaff " her. She did not know what "chaffing " meant. (A laugh.) Mr. Hawkins—Do you mean seriously to tell us, Mrs. Rowland, that you do not know what is meant by chaffing? Witness—Well, I 'appose I do. (A laugh.) Mr. Hawkins-1 thought you did. (Renewed laughter.) Cross-examiration continued—A good many gentlemen paid her attention while she was at the café. The chaffing did not generally begin at 6 o'clock. (A laugh.) After they had been to the Argyll-rooms they hadsupper at Sale's, then the defendant took her to a house and they were introduced into a bedroom. The defendant told her that he wished her to go to his chambers es he had something important to say to her, and she was, of course, Vary much surprised when she was introduced into a bedroom. They remained there for an hour, and when they went away the defendant gave her five or six sovareigns. She was quite sure it waa not Z. that he gave her. The next day he sent her 501. She did not know why he sent it her, but she sup , posed it was • present. He was constantly making her pre- Dents, and was very liberal to her. Sometimes he complained of her extravagance; and at others be only laughed at it. When she asked him foe money be used to write to her and complain of her extravagance, and the next day, when he came to see her, he would give her doable the amount she had Naked for. (A laugh.) Mr. Hawkins—That must have put yin in• good humour, I suppose. (Laughter.) In answer to further questions that were put to her, the plaintiff said that the defendant did not live with her con stantly at any of the lodgings, but merely visited her once or twice a week. The people of the house thought he tra velled a great clod. (Laughter.) Mr. Hawkins—l suppose you put him out Na • gentleman food of travelling, but who would come home once a week. (Laughter.) Cross-examination continued—Witness was introduced to the " mayor of the large town in the north" at the Exhi bition. He introduced himself to her, and was kind enough to offer her an ice. (Laughter.) When he first spoke to her he said that she was very much like his late wife. She told him where she lived, and he gave her his address and called upon her. Mr. Hawkins—Where did he live! Witness —I shan't tell you. (Roar of laughter.) She went on to say that when he called the mayor did not dine or sup with her, and he did not atop wore than ten minutes. Mr. Hawkins—Well, I won't ask you any more about the mayor. (Renewed laughter.) In further crow-examination the plaintiff said that the offer of marriage from this gentleman was made to her in June, 1862. A good many other people bad also made love to her down to that time, but they did not visit her exempt upon business. (A laugh.) She told the defendant that gentlemen were making up to her. At the time they were living in Baker-street she and the defendant passed as Mr. and Mrs. Onslow, and the defendant was still ss fond of travelling as ever. Her sister lived with her as lady's maid and companion. Another letter was then put in from the defendant in answer to one that it appeared the plaintiff had written to him announcing that • e had received an offer of marriage. In thin letter the defendant said that it would be out rageous to make settlements and give presents to a woman whom another man proposed to make his wits, and that he must have a kiss that night as there was so soon to be • dissolution of parteership. (A laugh.) This was the plaintiff's sass. Mr. Hawkins submitted that there was no osse to go to the jury. Baron Martin asked Serjeant Parry what he relied upon to support the plaintiff's claim. Serjeant Parry submitted that there was evidence that the defendant, in consideration of the letters being given op and the plaintiff relinquishing the legal claims she had upon him in reference to the promise at marriage, undertook to make the settlement that bad been referred to. Baton Martin intimated that ie him opinion under the Statute of Frauds it was necessary that mach a contract should have been in writing. He would, however, consult with Mr. Justice Willes upon the point. The learned judge accordingly left the court, std daring his absence the learned counsel again conferred together, a nd Mr. Hawkins shortly afterwards went out, and had a con ference with his client on the subject. In a few minutes he returned, and it was unarmed that a compromise had taken place. Serjeant Ballantine then addressed his lordship, and said that the defendant had agreed to pay the plaintiff 1,0004, and to pay all costs, at the rme time all letter would be given up, and the pantie would give each other a mutual release. Mr. Hawkins said he wished it to be understood that the arrangement was that a juror should be withdrawn, and that the defendant did not admit that he was under any legal liability to the plaintiff. He felt, however, that, an a gentleman, and having regard to the long intimacy that bad existed between them, Ice ought to give her something at the termination of their connexion ; and be had therefore agreed to give her the rum mentioned by the learned ser jeant, both parties giving a mutual release, and the defend. ant would pay all the costs. Baron Martin observed that it wu a very proper termina tion to the ass, ands juror was then withdrawn. (Before Mr. Jnatioe Willes.) This was an action, described by tho learned judge as one of a novel character, to recover damages far a serious acci- dent to the plaintiff. The plaintiff's declaration contained two counts ; one upon an alleged agreement to getarantee or ndemnify the plaintiff if he should meet with injury during his employment on a particular piece of work for the de fendant, and another oouut imputing to the defendant nes , biome. The Hon. Mr. Denman, Q C.. and Mr. Morgan Howard were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. &wisest Parry and Mr. Garth were for the defendant. The plaintiff had been employed by the defendant to dig the foundation of a house, and as the soil was loose and sandy plainti ff told defen dant of this tact, end thereupon , r alleged, the defendant urged him to proceed , saying. "It's all stuff, l'll guarantee it will stand; you go on." The plaintiff went on with his work aocordiogly, and in the progress of it the sides of the urtheork felt in and aeriously injured him. On the part of the defendant it was denied that there was any such guarantee as had been spoken of, and it was also alleged that the plaintiff did not sufficiently slope the ground, and that he wu provided with timber to shore up the sales, but did not make use of it. After a long inquiry the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, with ad. damages. NORFOLK ClRClllT.—lralcirn, ArouFrr 6. The learned judges finished she huskies,' st Norwich yes terday ; for although the cease list was the coos turned out of most inordinate length. The case of Jay v. Lister ' which was • question as to whether • quantity of wool bed been delivered to sample, lasted the greater part of twodays,and ended in a verdict for thedefendant. A dander nee of • most uninteresting character was then tried, and with it finished the assize business for the city of Norwich and county of Norfolk. . . Both the judges came on to this town yesterday, and arrived by the 2.20 trend from Norwich. Their lordships were not expected at such an early hour, and arrangements bad been made for opening the communion at bine at night. Baroe Bramwell at that hour. accompanied by the High Sheriff, Mayor, &c., went through the usual formalities, sod adjourned t he court to tee o'clock this morning, when Baron Channell took his seat at Nisi Prior, There az;seveaaiusas for trial, of Which three us special juries. CROWN Coon.—(Before Mr. Berea Bnumwell.) Anthony Hurren was charged with forgiog at Aldeburgh, o the 18th day of March, 1864, arr quest for the pigment of money, with intent to defraud H. T. Dower and It. Ganett, trustees of the Loyal Oman Pride, No. 4,185, of Odd Fellows. Mr. N. Palmer was for the prosecution ; Mr. Sims Reeve for the prisoner. The private; was a membered the above lodge, and bad weed through all the degrees and dignities of the Kalov, including the exalted one of "Noble Grand." Ity Rule 25 (the rules were certified by Mr. Tidd Pratt). every member claiming sick allowance mast give notice thereof (accom panied by the surgeon's osrtifieate) to the secretary in the following form :—" To the officers, I hereby claim the lack allowance of the lodge, being unable to follow my amid emplopment.—Signed, &e." In March last the pneooer presented to the secretary a form dale filled and signed, in the name of Jamas Nunn. and duly certified by a surgeon, and by that mean' obtained the sum of 11. 4s. It tweed out that Nunn was quite well at that time, and had not made any claim, and the signature tti not hie, forhhe man could not write. _ _ The 'bow; instrument the learned judge ruled was not the subject of forgery under the preseet indictment, and directed the jury to acquit the prisoner. He then ordered an in dictment for obtaining money by false pretences to be pre ferred against the prisoner, and to be at once seat before the graod jury. The pond jury shortly after returned a true bill. A man named Banister, about fifty years of age, win custody in Bristol on envision of baring murdered hie wife. The accused is a coach-liner. and raided is Perri. ticmetrest, Bt. George's-road. On Friday morning his wife was found dead on the door of the house, by body being cut in several plum, as if with • razor or other sharp instru ment. Banister was apprehended, and he is reported to have stated that the deceased fell over the stabs with an earthenware vessel, which broke, and that she received the womb from Utopia:am THE POLICE COURTS. HOW-STREET. A young man named oeorYlLews; haying the appear awe of en agricultural labourer, was charged with haring in his pommies two valuable gold stale of which be oould give so satisfactory amount. Yr. Simnel Henry Freeman, manager to the executors of the late Kr. Kirkman, pawnbroker, Strand, stated that on Wednesday last the prisoner entered the shop, and offend the two seals produced in pledge. One bore the royal arme, and the inscription " Chief Clerk's Offko, Supreme Court of Newfoundland." The ether was a privegemal, probably belonging to the same pude, u they were joined by • metal link. He asked the prisoner where he got them, Lod he replied that he picked them up in Rotten-row Hyde-park. He asked if be did not know that he wee do ing wrong in offering them for sale. He said " No." He told him be should detain the seals sad advertise them, sou to return them to the owner if be could be found. He asked the prisoner his name and address, aod the primmer re lied, " George Lewis, 7, St a nhope-street, Clere.market. It turned out to be • false address. He had since called twice to ask if any inquiry bad been made, and on the snood occasion (Friday eveeing) Sergeant Ackrill was present and took him into custody. Inspector Brimmaeombe said that from inquiries which he bad made be found that the seals were the property of Mr. George Washington Busted, late chief clerk in the Supreme Court, Newfoundland. Mr. Basted resigned that office as far back is the year 1829, after which be became Colonial Secretary in a West Indian settlement. From that he came to England, when he lived some yews, and then went to America. where he passed the remainder of he life. He died at New York shout two yearn ago . His goo, General Richard Slowed, had taken • prominent part in the war in America. Inspector Brinimacombe had no doubt that the seals were stolen. Tbe prisoner was remanded for further examination. _ THAMES. _ _ __ • Mary Anne ring, 50, of No. 10, Sumner-street, St. George's-in -the-Fast, was charged with wilfully throwing vitriol over the person of Kate Douglas, of 33, Bedford. street, Stepney. The prima'r and the complainant bad lived together in the same house, but had quarrelled, and the prisoner alleged that the complainant had her money. On Monday night last the prisoner met the prosecutrix, and after abusing her threw &quantity of strong vitriol over her, which burned her drew sad damaged her clothes very ranch. It aka burned her arms severely. She was committed for trial. WANDSWORTH. This was a casein which John Chant, the common keeper of Barnes, sought to recover from Mr. Charles Barker, a market gardener, under the 17th and 18th Vict., the amended act for the more effectual prevention of cruelty to animals, the sum of 9s. for food and water supplied to certain domestic animals—to wit, 21 geese—while in the pound. Mr. Hare appeared for the complainant, and Mr. Lewis, sen for the defendant. Tie case, which excited considerable interest, was really one to try the right of depasturing geese on Barnes-common. It appeared that the dean and chapter of Bt. Paul's had exercised the privilege of lords of the manor of Barnes oommon by holding courts for a long period, dating so far back u 100 years before the fire of London . Mr. Hall, the deputy-steward, produeed the ancient court ' mile, in which presentments appeared against gems being depsetured on the common. One, dated 1703, made it a penalty of 24. each goose, and Id. each goalies. Another, dated 1709, against geese being kept on the common after Michaelmas, under a penalty of Is. for each goose, and 4d. for every gosling. There was a third, dated 1419, in which the penalty in the cam of a gosling was increased to tid. Mr. Hall admitted that be had never levied any fines, and the complainant stated that he had known the common for fifty years, and it bad always been the practice to turn geese out upon the common, but not to the extent as re cently. It further appeared that the Court Baron had deter mined to prohibit the practice, as they had effected great improvements on the common, and more especial as qua drupeds would not feed upon any Led after bipe ds. For that purpose a notice board had been put up and a goose erect ed. p ° ?? 4 . . _ _ _ Mr. Lewis raised several obiectioos, among which were that geese were not animals within the meaning of the act ; that the defendant bad a right to turn out gems oe the common, be being a copyhold tenant or the manor ; and that he had become possessed of the right by long usage. He therefore argued that the complainant could not recover, as the geese had been illegally impounded. Mr. Hare contended th►t geese were animals, and the question whether they had been legally or illegally im pounded did not arise. Mr. litynian decided in favour of the complainant, and adjourned the summons until Thursday seat, for the con sideration of a case to be submitted to a higher court. MARKETS. COTTON.—LrvarooL. Auccer 6.—Thoro has been more inquiry to-day, without Mange in prime. The sales to-day are 6,000 halm, ioeluding 1,500 for speculation and export. 500 American, 280. to 32d. ; 100 Parmen. 2s4d. to 32d. ; 40 Maranhani, 32d. ; 100 Mimi° and Bahia, 2Wd. ; 1,000 Egyptian, 2Std. to 33 jd. ; 260 Smyrna, 210. to 28id. ; 4,010 Surat, 15d. to 25d.; Beegal, Sande,ice., 17d. ; China, ltd. to 200. ; Japan, 210. ; Peru, U., 294. to 40d. corm ROODS-11aNcummts, Acovst —The market received a severe check this weak from two very opposite causes. The first was the news of peace riegotia lions being os foot in America, and the second was the ad vance in the rates of discount. The advices as to peace negotiations were shown to deserve bat little attention by subeequeot accounts, bat still the impressioa created is sot somaily dispelled. Ilerchanta imagine then is enough in the explanation given of the affair to show that an approach to a settlement is not distant, and may be brought about at any moment, and such of them as an shippers to distaat market& are reluctant to incur great risks under such circumstances. The rise in the mosey market is pot so serious in its immediate pressure as in the proba bilities of still further advances en the dearness of money. The effect on the cotton market, limiting the total sales to 33,000 this week, while the iuiporta have beau 63,000 bales, baa been reflected in this market. While we have some good purchases for Raisin and other foreign marketa keg stapled yarn and spinning; of good quality at fell the market generally hair been dull and inactive, with home trade yarns at id. par lb. against sellers. Buyers for nearly all markets are offering lower rates, and th Aigh some of the better classes of yarns are scarcer, and consequently held with more firmness than the commoner qualities, the tendency of the market is clearly to lower prices. The aggregate amount of business over the week has been compa ratively small. In cloths the better class of &billings sod printers are steady, but sellers are able to effect very little business, and were they are at all disposed to press sales, lower prices are a consequence. An led an telegram yes terday stating that prices at Calcutta for shirtings had radii 6d. to 9d. per piece Ina had little effect in strengthening the hands of sellers. In descriptions of cloth of which the stocks are light manufacturers hold pretty firmly ; but, en the other hand, buyers are anxious to see a little further before them, and are not disposed to increase their respolisilalitime in the present position of the money market. In the com moner qualities of cloth prices are lower, with few sales. HARDWARE—Muumuu -kid, AUGUST 6.—The trade of this town coutinues good ; manufacturers are most of them well engaged upon orders, which, though moderate, are still coming in steadily on account of the home as well as the foreign trade. With regard to the latter there is • fair supply of orders in on account of the eastern markets; the Ausualian Mader steady, and upon the whole active; the Italian trade is quiet ; to Frame there is little doing, but with respect to Spain Whimss is quite up to the aver- age. In contusion with the West India trade there has been more doing of late. There are also a few American orders in band. is reference to particular branches there is not much to be mid at this moment; the metal rollers are doing an average amount of business, and the wire-drawers continue buoy ; the electro-platers and edge-tool makers, the tin-plate workers and hollow ware manufacturers, are all of them more or less busy, and for beam-foundry goods there is a steady demand, so there also is for every &scrip lion of builder, ironmongery. In the gun trade there is a prospect of some improvement, a Turkish order Whig about to be put in head. Tim reports an to the coudition of the various manufacturing trades in the district are favourable ; io those branches which are carried on principally in the neighbourhood of Wolverhampton and L'ilston, • good business is being done ; for malleable iron foundry wares there U an active demand, as there also is for railway &mugs paerally. The iron trade of this district continues ex tremely dull; consumers avoid buying as much as poesible, but the advance which has just taken place in the rate of discount may have the effect of forcing some makers to press sales ; and if such Le the ease lower prices will have to he accepted. For pig-iron the market imutanusa dull ; stocks are increasing nutwithstandiug the reduction which has taken place ice the make.

IiZWCABTLE-C7OII•TTIR, AUGUST 6.—Our arrivals of English and foreign wheat' this week have been moderate. The trade has assumed a downward tendency, in some in stances Norfolk red wheat has been sold at 2a. per qr. de cline during the week. Flour also inclines lower. Grindiig barley and oats more inquired after, and rather dearer. We had a good supply of wheat from the country to•day,which sold slowly, at a reduction of L. to 2a. per qr. Scarcely a transaction bag transpired from the stands, factors and mil lers being unable to agree. Flour dull. Beans, barley, and peas firm. Oats not quite so free of sale as the beginning of the week. The arrivals this week are :—Wheat, west. win, 2,111 qrs. ; foreign, 2,206. Barley, foreip, 4d. Malt, oosistwise, 290. Oats, mastwiae, 2,398. Flour, 0041,111- wise, 1,308 sacks. Indian own flour, 48 sacks. Noavnak, Aucner 6.-There was but • thha attendance at this market today; the supply of wheat was fair, and prices must be cousidered U. per quarter below the rates of this day se'onight. White wheat (weighing 631bs. to 66114.), 455. to 465. red ditto (weighing 631ba. to 65113 e.), 41e. to 43. ; eats, 245. to 265. ; bases, 361. to 374 . Pau (maple), 355. to 365. per quarter. Flour, 265. 6d. per sack, hm the miller. NOTTINGHAM, AUGUST 8 .- Then was a very malt show of wheat from the growers, and the demand was dull at la, per qr. less money. Old white sorb sold at 41s. to 45a. ; old tvd, 40s. to 445. ; new white, 475. to 53e. ; new red, 445. to 475. per 36 stove. There was a meagre supply of barley, for which the demand was steady at the rates of the week previous; old grinding made :Ns. to 30e. : new, 2135. to 29.. per 30 doge. For oats the demand was fair, and late rates were fully supported ; new, 20a. to 265. ; old, 245. to 30.. ; old foreign, 219. to 245. per 24 stone. OXIORD, Arousr 6. — Owing to farmers in this immediate neighbourhood being so busy in the harvest fields the at tendance was not very numerous ; buyers were also limited in number ; the price for the few samples of wheat that changed hands was barely equal to that of last week. A few samples of new were offering, but no one seemed to care about purchasing. Barley made from Ma. to 20s. per v, ; oats, from 19e. to 275. ; beam, mares. 425. to 445. ; peas (new for boiling), 40s. ; flour, seconds, 30s. per sack. Since this day se'nnight many hundred acres of wheat have been housed in this locality in prime condition, end our remarks of last week have been confirmed by the observations of those farmers present in the Corn Eschews to-day, Mae have stated that the yield of wheat is not ally not maim, but that the quality. is first-rate and the quantity little below the average. Barley, in many places, is particularly good, and yields moth better than was expected, while on the very light gravel soils it turns out quite the reverse. Oats will, no doubt, be dearer ; they are far beneath the average. The grub is very much injuring the potato crap, io the fruit of which they completely bury themselves, much to the injury of that most useful esculent. READING. AUGUST 6.—There was a very thin attendance at our market this morning, with a short supply of all sorts of grain. The wheat trade was quiet. growers asking high prices, which buyers were unwilling to made to. In new wheat there was some very fine samples, although it changed heeds very slowly. Rocauren, Aucour 6.—Our corn exchange wee well supplied, and there was a fair attendance of the sown and cosatry trade. Business, however, was exceedingly dull, acd most kinds of grain were a trifle easier. Wheat was about ls. to 2s. per quarter cheaper ; best para.), of white wheat were 43i. to 465., and red, 40s. to 43a. per quarter ; secondary and inferior white, 40e. to 435., and red, 3;s. to 40s. per quarter. Flour was difficult to sell, and must be quoted at about 6d. per sack cheaper. There was a fair show of barley, and several new samples were exhibited. For beet lota the quotations were 36.. to 39a. for malting, and 26e. to 295. for grinding kinds. Oats were firm, and the turn dearer. WISIDCII. AUGUST B.—We have had a short limply of grain at market to-day, the farmers being engaged with harvest. Wheat may be called la. per qr. cheaper, but not easy to buy at the decline. Spring corn of all kinds in favour of the seller as to price. Weather very hot and dry. Rain much wanted.
