CLERK KNWELL This morning Mr. Barker and Mr. Cooke, the magistrates at thi' court, attended an hour before the usual time me pointed for the commencement of business for the purpose of swearing in special constables, On Mr. Cooke taking his seat at 10 o'clock to dispose of the ordinary night charges no person hail presented themselves to be sworn. During the first hour not more than a dozen persons were sworn In ; but this may be accounted for by the fact that magi.- taste, were sitting at the Session-house, Clerkenwell-green; the Vestry-hall, St. Andrew's, Holborn; the Vestry-hall, • St. Pancras ; and the Vestry - h all, Islington. L. THE VESTRY-HALL, PADDINGTON. At 9 o'clock this morning, nine justices of the peace for the county of Middlesex met at the Vestry-hall, Padding ton, for the purpose of swearing in special constables. A cohort of medical students from St. Mary's Hospital e termed the first batch sworn in, and these were followed by several hundreds of others, consisting of clergymen, military officers on half-pay, barristers, attorneys, physi cians. surgeons, gentlemen living in independent circum stances. and tradesmen. All are ordered to assemble in the Vestry-hall at 5 o'clock this evening, when they will ,t receive " truncheons" and all necessary orders. THAMES. Mr. I'a4et was on the bench soon after 9 o'clock this morning for the purpose of swearing in special constables ; none presented themselves up to 12 o'clock, and it was un derstood that the county magistrates were busily occupied A in the swearing in of specials at the vestry halls in the dis t trick The police of the K Division, MO in number, and the o B Division, 208 in number, are under orders to muster • at half-past 2 o'clock at their respective station-houses, 11 and will leave in omnibuses, van s , and carriages for Hyde! park. The district is remarkably quiet this morning, and it is believed will remain so all day. The business of the court is heavy, and it is fortunate that it is not likely to be interrupted by the swearing-in of special constables. WANDSWORTH. Pursuant to an arrangement made with Mr. Dayman, ty the presiding magistrate, on Saturday, his private room on s• the ground.fioor was made available this morning for the of swearing in special wadable'. Colonel Bene tr ro i rcr ae one of the Surrey magistrates, attended at ea early hour, and up to about ten o'clock a fifty persons were sworn in. Each one, on the oath oetng administered, wee requested to attend '0 spin at the police-court at 5 o'clock to receive instruc tions. In the course of the morning an amusing scene (recurred which gave some little interest to the otherwise fennel proceedings. A man who had the appearance of a bricklayer's labourer, and who had evidently been imbibing too freely, though the day was early, presented himself before the magistrate i to be sworri in. r, Mr. Martin, the usher of the court, was about to ad minister the oath, when the would-be s p ec i a l interrupted, r• 1 , and inquired about the pay. a The Psher—There is no pay, only the honour of serving ie g the Queen, and being a true patriot. ▪ The applicant—But there is a shilling for swearing in :e kn Usher—No, there is no shilling, and no supper. (A .e it the it- Applicant—No supper! (scratchin g hi s hasd)—Let's have n. Colonel Beresford —I think you had better come at 5 o'clock, and if we require your services we shall be ready to avail ourselves of them. The applicant said he was a special oonstable in "'48," and had his staff and papers. The magistrate remained until about half-past 11 l• o'clock, but would return at 5. a • WEATHER REPORT.—(THIS DAY.) MORDLT, MAT 0, 8 A.X r• ! istrense. B. T. W. W. L l t e a 13 X; D. 9. t.

Two boys, of about 14 years of ago, were severally charged with playing rounders is the Mall at 6 o'clock this morning, to the annoyance and danger of passengers. Mr. Vaughan said the Mall could not be too much q fre euented at 6 o'clock that the danger could be very coed ' derable. Still if any persons should be passing there would be a risk of their being struck by the ball, and it was se cessafy to prohibit the game in such a place, or it would be indulged in at times when the number of passengers was greater. The prisoners oucht to have desisted whenlm re we cautioned by the police. Rounders was a very game, but they they'd play it in proper places, su ch as Hyde-park or the Green-park, where it could annoy no Gee. MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.) BETTING IN LONDON.--(THIS DAY.) Ono dOwoz. This afternoon, at 1 o'clock, a meeting of conser vative members of parliament. 4ummoned by circular, took place at Lord Derby's official reaidence in Downing-street. The attendance was numerous. Amongst the members present were the following :—Mr. Mitfonl, Mr. C. Wynn, Mr. Clare Read, Sir H. Edwards, Mr. Holford, Captain Gray, Colonel Knox, Sir J. Hay, Mr. Hubbard, Admiral Seymour, Col. Dunne, Mr.l Ormsby Gore, Mr. Du Cane , Mr. Huddlestone, Mr. Mowbray, Sir J. Walsh, Mr. Eger ton, Captain Stanley, Mr. B. Cochrane, Sir S.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. The announcement that government will not in terfere with the Hyde-park demonstration, com bined with the fine weather, has had a favourable effect to-day upon the markets for public securi ties, which are generally firm. The actual changes in prices, however, are not very numerous, the amount of business being somewhat limited. Consols are in request, and are slightly better, owing to an increased number of bowl fide investments. Several of the chief British railway stocks have improved, the most important move ment being in London, Brighton, and South Coast upon large purchases to cover recent speculative sales. Foreign securities share in the favourable tendency, but exhibit no variation of importance. _ _ Hum-rair Two o`OLoos. The business of settling occupied the attention of members during the greater part of the morning, sad miry little speculation took place. Some little betting took plain on the Great Northern, Bracken proving the favourite at 4to 1 taken. On the Derby there war no noticeable feature, with the exception of a strong desire to back Hermit, about whom 8 to 1 was taken to good messy. Closing paioes : Sittings in Banco.—(Before the Lord Chief Justice and Justices Blackburn, Mellor, and Lush.) i • EX PASTE COmTERTON. Mr. Jelf moved fora rule calling upon two attorneys to show cause why they should not mistier certain matters in an affidavit. Theapplicnnt, Captain Costerton, R.N., had been in the habit of employing the attorneys,who were in partnership, end in 1861 he employed them in some disputed family matters, which resulted in the showing that 500/. were due to him. He then instructed the attorneys to invest the money on secure mortgages, but with liberty to him to draw such sums of the principal as he might require. In 1866 there woi a balance due to him of 3751. He wrote for 75/., and ultimately be received a letter informing him that the money had not been invested (although in 1861 they informed him it had been and where the property was situated), that they were in insolvent circumstances, had made an assignment, and di solved partnership, and they had returned Captain Costerton as an unrelated creditor. Rule granted. WORSHIP-STREET. BAD RgBULT or rvaious ormico._ John Courf, 16ysars of age, was charged with being drunk and furiously driving, and knocking down three persons, thereby severely injuring two of them and the other slightly. This occurrence happened on last Easter Monday, when at a late hour Sergeant Gould, N division, while on duty in the Hackney-road, heard some vehicle approaching him at a rate bespeaking drunkenness in the driver, if he had any control whatever over his horse, and the next instant a horse drawing a van, the property of a contractor in Coleman-street, City, and furiously driven by the prisoner, swerved round into Weymouth terrace, Hacknef i r a cid, and knocked down a respectable woman, named Green Charles Green, her son. 13 years of age, and afe male f riend, who was in their com pany. The prisoner was instantly seen to be intoxicated; fortunately the animal's career was stopped, or as it is a very narrow roadway loss of life on such a night, must, in all probability, have occurred. The injured boy was removed to the house of Dr. Wallace, adjacent, where it was ascer tained chat he bad a dislocated shoulder and severe injury to the right band. Mrs. Green was suffering from some spinal injury, and their friend was considerably shaken. The former patient was unable to attend before the ma gistrate on the following morning, and prisoner was re manded. _ GREAT NORTHERN. 5 4to Ito 1 a— Rama (tpt Brack en ) (t) 6 to 1 Fitzroy (t) 7 to 1 Strathoonan (t) DEBBY. 9to 4 twit Vauban (oft sto 2) 7 to 2 The Bake (off) 8 to 1 Hermit (t freely) 10 to 1 Dragon OM 100 to 6 Grand Crow (off) 40 to 1 Plaudit (of) The hon. membets did not leave till close upon 3 o'clock.

BRITISH AND FOREIGN SCHOOLS.-(THIS DAY.) The 62nd annual meeting of the British and Foreign School Society took place this afternoon at the central school in the Borough-road. The chair was taken by Earl RI , ISELL ; and among those present were Lord Amberley, M.P., Mr. Bruce, M.P., Mr. S. Gurney, M.P., Mr. James Heywood, Mr. Brooks, Mr. J. W. Pease, M.P., Mr. W. Ball, Mr. J. Corderoy, Mr. T. Norton, the Revs. \V. Guest, A. Mersa, Gregory, &c. The meeting was preceded by a lengthened examination of the pupils in the school-rooms, at which Earl Russell, %%act. Amberley, and many other leading friends of the institution were present. The SECRETARY (Mr. E. D. J. Wilks) read the report. It stated that the several agencies of the society had been continued in efficient and succesasul operation. In the training departments 166 young persons of both sexes were is residence preparing for the work of teach. ing ; 156 schools had been supplied with trained teachers during the year, and the difficulty of meeting the applications for such was increasingly felt. The inadequate supply of pupil teachers for training was greatly felt; and though this was one of the evils proposed to be remedied in the new minute of council, it was feared that to this end it would prove practically in operative. In the four schools on the premises at the Borough and at Stockwell more than 1,000 children were in daily attendance, under a staff consisting of five certi ficated teachers ' one assistant, and 20 pupil teachers. The agents of the society employed in the inspec tion of schools and otherwise helping forward the work of scriptural education had paid 1,079 visits to 942 schools in 590 towns and villages, exclu sive of London and its suburbs. Mainly through these means, thirty-eight new schools had been opened in the year, besides the many that had been remodelled and improved. Seventy-nine grants of school materials had been made to schools at home and abroad, Teachers bad been supplied to schools in Paris and St. Croix, in France ; and to the Bahamas, where the pupil-teacher system adopted at home was now introdu ce d. The balance-sheet of the society showed a deficit for the year ended Decem ber 31, 1866, of :tl2l. ; the income from all sources having been 13,5831. 13s. 10d. ; and the expenditure, 13.9161. 6s. 9d. The India Five per Cent. stock remains firm, at 110 to 1,. The foreign stock market is rather firm, but the only change in the speculative descriptions is a rise of f per cent. in Spanish Passive. Turkish Bonds of 1865 are quoted 294 to 4 ; Greek, 13 to 4 ; Spanish Passive, 204 to 4 ; ditto Certificates, 13 to I ; Italian of 1861, 48P, to ; Mexican, 16 to 4. Bank shares are inactive, but Union of London have experienced a fresh fall of if. 10a., viz., to 37 to 38. Alliance are quoted 11 to 9 dia., and Imperial Ottoman, 2 to If dia., showing no varia tion worthy of notice. Mr. Newton now said that compensation could be obtained by action. He could only line the lad who WSJ driving and drunk at the time. Mn. Green observed that her husband had expressed his intention to bring an action against the prisoner's muter, u liable for the acts of his servant. _ _ A fine of 205., or 21 days imprisonment, W 22 inflicted. WANDSWORTH. Al! AGM) 211043A1t. Joke Callieghast was charged with begging of foot pas sengers in High-street, Wandsworth. Mr. Ingham—Why I Callingham, the last time I raw you, you promised that if let you go I should never see your face again. I suppose you are going your simmer rounds. Prisoner—l am 80 years of age. Mr. Ingham—You must stop where you ought to be re lieved, and not go wandering about. The prisoner was then remanded until the 14th inst. The market for financial and miscellaneous shares is somewhat firmer, though prices present no movement of importance. International Financial are quoted 2a to } dia. ; London Finan cial, 23i to 22} dis. ; General Credit, 21 to i dis. ; Credit Fonder , 6.1 to g dis. ; National Dis count, 61 to 71 prem. ; and Hudson's Bay, 16 to i. United States 5-20 Bonds and Illinois Central Railway shares exhibit no variation, at 714 to;, and 76} to 76 respectively, but Erie have advanced per cent., the present price being 421 to I. Anglo-American and Atlantic Telegraph Eight per Cent. Preference shares have experienced a further slight rise, the former are quoted 18 1 1 to 19, and the latter 4 13-16 to 15-16. Mr. BRUCE, M.P., moved the adoption of the report and the appointment of • committee for the ensuing year He said the progress of the society was the best proof how well suited it was to the wants of the country. In a country like this the denominational system was not generally ap plicable. It was proved before a committee of the House of Commons last year that in the thirteen years from 1t3.13 to 1866 the number of schools in South Wales which had received assistance from this society rose from 20 to 200, and that the number of schools which had received government assistance had increased from 14 to 180. The witnesses were all of opinion that the supply of trained teachers was insufficient, and that showed the importance of • society which endeavoured to supply this want. The first effect of the new minute would not, he feared, be quite satisfactory in that respect. Whatever advantage might be derived from the govern ment assistance, he had slowly arrived at the conclusion that the plan proposed some years ago by the noble chair man, or some similar one, was essential. He believed that the proportion of children at school between the ages of three and 13 did not exceed 60 per cent. leaving 40 per cent. who were not receiving education. (Hear.) There were portions of the country which the voluntary system could not be expected adequately to supply. After 30 years' experience, he did not believe the voluntary system would supply the want, and if that were so, it was their duty, as Christian men, to endea vour to get it supplied in some other way. Why should not town councils and similar bodies receive from the rate payers, assembled at public meeting, power to levy a local rate for educational purposes? (Hear.) Only 2 per cent. of the population of Prussia was uneducated ; and let ' them conceive the effect of the whole labouring population of this country being raised to the level of the intelligent artisans. (Hear.) The extension of education could only be effected on principles like those of that society, which paid due respect to conscientious scruples, and he hoped that by education of that kind those stains on our civilisation which they all so much regretted would soon be removed. (Cheers.) Mr. Puna, M.P., seconded the motion, which was then put and carried. Lord AMBLRLEY moved the following resolution:—" That this meeting regards with thankfulness the increased and wide-spread interest now taken in the education of the poorer-classes, and would respectfully but earnestly com mend the principles and objects of this society as worthy of • corresponding adoption and sup port." His lordship said the preceding speaker had dwelt fully on the great question of extending educa tion, which occupied so much attention, and would, no doubt, occupy a great deal more both with the public and parliament, as the whole system of education required to be improved. As this was the first time he had conic there he wished to observe that he had witnessed with much satisfaction the examination of the children. (Cheers.) The most astonishing part of it was the arithmetic, and he could not but wish that system of teaching adopted there was carried out more generally. Ile remem bered that last year, when there was • bill before the House of Commons for establishing an educa tional franchise, Mr. Gladstone, in speaking of that bill, expressed some doubt as to the ability even of members of parliament to perform the arithmetical operation which would be required under that bill in order to obtain a vote. (Laughter.) That was certainly not a very great compliment to the House of Commons, but he was quite sure that if Mr. Gladstone bad been there that day he would not have doubted that those who had been educated in that school could acquire the franchise with the greatest facility. (Cheers and laughter.) The Rev. W. Guaar was seconding the resolution when our report left. An extraordinary meeting of the Great Eastern Railway Company is called for the 13th instant " for the purpose of taking into consideration the provisions of a bill for regulating the finances of the company, which it is proposed, with the sanction of parliament, to introduce in the present session, and of passing such resolutions with respect thereto as the company may think fit." HALF-PAST THREE 0 CLOCK. Consols are steady, at 911 to}, for money and next Thursday's settlement, and 911 to i for the new account. About 50,0001. in gold has been withdrawn from the Bank for exportation. At Paris this morning the Three per Cent. Renter opened at 68.35, showing no change of importance. Throughout the week the principal feature of Stock Exchange business has been the continued fall in the railway market. The old policy of im provident extensions and internal strife is at last telling upon this great interest, and the eyes of even the most apathetic proprietors are now being opened to the inevitable consequences of a system under which the selfish interests of managers and officials are served at the expense of the true owners. But action, with a view to a thorough remedy, is at last being taken, and, should the movement spread, there can be little doubt that ultimately a recovery of value will be established. The railway property of this kingdom, in spite of all the mistakes that have been made, is universally admitted to be still • real and magnifioent one, yielding revenues which have grown even beyond the anticipations of those who have so long preyed upon it. Considering the pass to which the rail way interest has been brought, it is very likely that we are not yet at the end of the sacrifices which may be involved. For example, it seems probable that the shareholders in several lines will be obliged to forego their dividends altogether for a ' time. And they will consent to forego them, upon the one condition of being completely convinced that a remedy for the past is at last arrived at. What the proprietors of the five hundred millions of capital invested in our railways have now chiefly to guard against is a helpless falling away in fear, and a blind sacri fice of their holdings at any price which the dis organised market may offer. What is required is united action, and, as a first step towards a restora tion of confidence, the truth must be published, and all official reserves must be thrown to the winds. Shareholders demand to know the worst, for, that being once published, and all disguise at an end, there must be an improvement, if the old proverb counts for anything. It is presumed that some important truths will be laid bare in the forthcoming report of the royal commission on railways. In the House of Commons on Friday even ing Mr. Blake asked the President of the Board of Trade if he could state when the report of the royal commission, which was promised two months since, would be issued, and Mr. Cave replied that the signature' would be attached to the re port on Monday next, and that when that was done the report would be sent to the Home-office. It need scarcely be saidithat railway proprietors gene rally will feel anxiety until they know the recom mendations and other contents of this document. Apartfrom this matter,however, abelief ingrowing up amongst the oldest and shrewdest possessors of railway property, that in the independent action which is now being taken amongst the share holders of the Brighton, London and South Western, Bristol and Exeter, Midland, and other railway companies, rest the germs of • real re covery. The present period of transition is pain ful, and to many persons almost ruinous, but little doubt can be entertained that the agitation will end in a purification of railway boards, and in the installation of men of proved honour and business capacity, whose efforts will be consistently and ceaselessly directed to reform, in the sense of a stoppage of all leaks, the cultivation of friendly and mutually beneficial traffic arrangements, and the restoration of railway credit. A meeting of the South Eastern Railway Com pany is called for the 16th inst., " for the purpose of authorising (if the meeting think St) the direc tors to exercise their powers with respect to the creation and issue of new shares or stock, and de benture stock, in lieu of debentures, and borrow ing on mortgage." The following communication has reached us on behalf of 'the committee of investigation of the Brighton Railway Company : We are requested to state that the letters addressed by proprietors of the Loudon, Brighton, and South Coast Railway to the chairman (Sir Charles Jackaonl, and the other members of the committee of investigation have been so numerous, that they find it impossible to reply to each shareholder individually. In the majority of caeca the in formation asked for will be found in the reports of the committee already issued to every shareholder, °op).* of which, with forms of proxies, may be obtained on appli. cation, personally or by letter, to Mr. John Brewer, Sec. pro tem., 6, Victoria-street, Westminster, S.W. The receipts of the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada for the week ending the 27th ult., as re ported by Atlantic cable, were 25,2521. sterling, being 1,4541. less than in the corresponding week of last year. The annual meeting of the proprietors of the lonian Bank is called for the 31st inst. CABINET Covngen..—A Cabinet Council 'was held after the meeting of the Conservative party at the Earl of Derhy'a, at which the whole of the Cabinet Ministers were present. The Marquis of Westminster has given the second donation of 5001. to the Yeatman Hospital at Sherborna, in Dorsetahire. " Argus" writes to the Post :—" Tattersall's is saved and Thomas breathes again, for at a meeting of the committee held yesterday afternoon all minor dif ferences were set on one side, and it was unanimously de cided that if members did not pay up according to the de cision given on the Soiled Dove case they should be ex pelled from the subscription-room ; and the committee went still further, for they passed a resolution that such members who were ejected from the subscription-room should not be eligible for re-election under six months which may be said to include the remainder of the racing season." The question of Easter dues, which has troubled Preston for some time past, seems now to be settled. On Saturday a notice was posted to the effect that the dues would be received at the parish church every morning "from persons who may wish to pay them." TEE FENIAN CoNvlcrs.—We have reason to be lieve that her Majesty's government have arrived at the determination not to carry out the sentence of the law on the convicts Burke and Doran.—Pet. A military escort with Fenian prisoners from the Court House were pelted with stones on Saturday evening in North King.street, Dublin, by the mob. Two Soots Greys were struck. The Fenian prisoner who escaped from the mail train near Tamworth has been captured at Ather. stone. lie says be watched his opportunity, dropped the carriage window down, and, placing his knee and hands on the sill, with a cat-like spring shot through the window be alighted on his feet, and then had a few rolls and got up, beyond the shaking and a slight scratch on the right side of his forehead, nothing the worse for his adventure The train at the - time was travelling 50 miles an hour ! DREADFUL FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE METROPO LITAN RAILWAT.—At half-past 9 o'clock last night a widow woman named Sarah King, aged 66, who resided at 7, Augustus-street, Regent's-park, went on to the platform of the Bishop's-road, 'Paddington. When the train arrived from Edgware-road it was found to be literally crammed, and unable to accommodate the number of persona who were waiting to proceed. Deceased persisted in endeavouring to force her way into a third class carriage at • time when the train was moving. She rode on the steps • short distance when she fell be tween the platform and the carriage and was dragged along about a dozen yards. Death was almost instantaneous, and when she wan picked up it was found that every part of the head, body, arms, and legs were frightfully mangled. Inspector llkbbons ordered the body to be taken to the Paddington dead-house, where it now awaits a coroner's I inquest. REMASKR.

The diminution still continues this morning The wind in the not Is southerly. and on the west coast south-westerly, &cyan,- bewith increased temperature and fine weather; but there en a alight fall of rain in the south-west. THE Luxzmanzo CONTIRENCI. —The Ron. :titian Fane, secretary of Embassy at Paris, has been sp_ pointed protocolist of the conference about to assemble in London on the Luxemburg question. It is reported that Lord Malmeabury has been named to act as the colleague of Lord Stanley at the con. ference about to assemble in London. Mr. E. K. Kars has written to a contemporary. remarking that be hu no doubt that members of the house are daily receiving numerous sug gestions as to the female franchise. But he lies been especially amazed by a request lately made to him by • lady —the wife of a non-elector, bat • " good mother " who desired him to take care, in ease Mr. Mill succeeded In obtaining the franchise for women, to move by way of amendment to his proposed, that no woman who has not nursed all her own children shall be entitled to vote. The weekly meetings of the members of the Royal Linn:dies were resumed after the Easter recess on Friday evening. Professor Bleckie, of Edinburgh, delivered • discourse " On the Music of Speech in the Greek and Latin Languages," in which he declared war against what he called the gross, barharous,and absurd modes of pronouncing and accentuating those languageeadopted generally in England. lie contended for the continental mode of pronouncing the vowels of the Latin language, and protested especially against the barbarism of sounding the vowel "a" aa in the word "fate " instead of its sound in " father." The students of the Quartier Latin, Paris, have put their threat into execution, and have published List No. I of the hotels where the charges have been raised. At the aaa3e time they publish a list of those whose proprietors have not altered their tariff. Both the public and the Pvt"s applaud this attempt to "bell the cat," and some of the papers go so far u to insert in their columns a letter bolo the" committee of action," containing the lists in Till QUill s. PEACH. Mr. Harrington moved, on behalf of Mr. J. S. Lee, for • rule for a certiorari to bring into court the conviction of Peach, dated 72nd December, 1862, before the justices of Hertfordshire, together with the recognisance' of Daniel liarritt, for the purpose of enforcing the recognisances. The prisoner had been convicted of night poaching and committed for three months, and he was further ordered to find surety not to offend again fora year. In March, 186 J, liarritt, who was in the habit of becoming surety for poachers, was accepted as the recog nisance. In August, 1863, within the year, Peach again committed the offence of night poaching and an assault, and Absconded. In 1866, it was discovered that he was undergoing a term of imprisonment in another county for poaching, and on his release he was apprehended by war rant and taken before two justices of Hertfordshire for the offence he had committed in August, when proceedings were taken to enforce Barritt's recognisance. It appeared that some difficulty arose upon the point. The 72nd and 23rd Charles 11. was repealed, but by 3rd Geo. IV., chap. 46, directions were given for proceeding in recogni sance" which were forfeited before quarter sessions, and it had been held that the statute applied only to matter in quarter sessions. The 16th and 17th Victoria, chap. 30, which was a somewhat miscella neous act, provided for cases where recognisance' to keep the peace for good behaviour were entered into, but it did not apply to poaching offences. The only course was to proceed by sciare facies, but that could not be done until the proceedings were first in this court by cer tioniri. The rule would be absolute in the first instance. Rule absolute accordingly. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Sittings in Banco.--(Before the Lord Chief Baron and Barons Martin, Bramwell, and Pigott.) BLADE r. SLAM. -- - . .. _ Mr. Coleridge, Q.C. ' on behalf of the defendant, re. aumed his argument at the sitting of the court this morn ing, and directed his attention chiefly to the documents connected with the Milan marriage of 1825, for the pur pose of showing that under the laws then in force in Lom bardy that marriage was invalid. The learned counsel is likely to occupy the court the whole day. COURT OF BANIERTYPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.) IN RR SIR RANDALL ROWLAND ROBCRTB, BART. The bankrupt was described uformerly of Alwyne-road. villas, Bayswater, then of Rugby, afterwards of Baden. Baden and other places on the Continent ; then of Jer myn-street, St. James's ; then of the Grosvenor Hotel, Pimlico, and since of Somerset-street, Portman-square, not a trader. The adjudication was on his own petition. He attributes his bankruptcy to failure in carrying ont various speculations on which he should have received a large commission. This was the sitting for examination and discharge. The balance-sheet had not been filed ; but the prelimi nary statements show debts of about 2,000/. Mr. Lawrence appeared for the bankrupt. Mr. Sykes appeared for the official assignees. The bankrupt, examined, said he did not know that he ought to file any further account. Mr. Biough said he appeared for the assignees under a former bankruptcy, the proceedings in which were still pending, and asked for an adjournment sine die. His Honour, in directing the adjournment, said the bankrupt must complete the proceedings under his former bankruptcy before he could pass under the present one. IN RI HANNAH NEWINGTON: This is the mar of laiiWia;;Wiiiger of addressee sad aliases, which has been frequently before the court. She is last described as of Montagu-street, Russell-square, married woman, following no trade or occupation. This was the sitting for examination and discharge. Debts, 2,5341., due to about 50 creditors, principally tradesmen. at the Wert-end. The two largest creditors are a draper and milliner at Shrewsbury and a wine-merchant in Piccadilly. Mr. Clarke opposed for creditors. The accounts were most imperfect, no dates being given to any of the debts. Most of them had been contracted lately, and for aught that appeared the bankrupt might have pledged the goods. There were several creditors who wished to examine the bankrupt but she was not present. Mr. Sykes said that she was still in custody, her applica tion for release having been refused. His Honour said she might have been brought up for examination, and directed an adjournment sine die. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (THIS DAY.) The May session of the Central Criminal Court was opened this morning at 10 o'clock by the Right Hon. Rai/Nell Gurney, Q.C., Recorder of the City of London, Alderman Finale, and Alderman Sir R. Carden ; Mr. Sheriff Lycett ; the Under Sheriffs, Messrs. A. Crosley and de Jersey, k.c. The first edition of the calendar contains the names of 76 prisoners, which is rather less than the usual number. Of this number 16 are committed from the City of London, 44 from Middlesex, 1 from the Admiralty jurisdiction, 5 from Kent, and 30 from the county of Surrey. The offences are thus classified:—Arson 2, feloniously woundingll, bur glary 9, forgery 5, larceny 18, letter stealing 2, embezzle ment 1, robbery 15, feloniously uttering counterfeit coin 8 and unlawfully omitting to surrender after being de clared bankrupt 2. The Recorder, in hie charge to the grand jury, said it gave him great satisfaction to be able to inform them that their labours were likely to be of very short duration, as the calendar only contained a small number of cases, and nearly the whole of them were of the simplest character. There was one charge of wilful murder, the prisoner being charged with wilfully destroying the life of her child, and in this case a question would probably arise as to the condition of mind of the prisoner at the time, but they, sitting as a grand jury, would not be justi fi ed in going into that question, and if the facts were proved it would be their duty to return a true bill, and the whole of the facts would then be fully considered by the jury before whom the prisoner would be put upon his trial. There was a charge against • young female for concealing the birth of her child, but it did not appear from the depositions that the offence imputed had been per petrated in point of law, as she bad not done any act intimating an intention of concealing the birth or disposing of the body of the child, which was found at the foot of the bed in which the prisoner was lying. The calendar contained a charge for maliciously wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm to which he thought it necessary to call the attention of the grand jury. Formerly the law was that to constitute the offence the injury must have been inflicted by some instrument, but a recent act of parliament provided that the offence I wall complete where the injury was caused "by any means whatever." In this came the wounding had been indicted by the prisoner's teeth, and if the fact! were established to their satisfaction, it would be their duty to return a true bill. There was really no other case in which it was necessary that he should offer any observations. The grand jury then retired to commence their labours. THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) BOW-STREET. YIIMIOUP I*IVi ?C. Israel Jambs, fruiterer, of Russell-street,Covent-garden, was charged with furious driving on the Moll, in St. James's-park. Colonel Wood, 5, Audley.sqoare, stated that at about half-past 11 o'clock on Sunday night he was in St. James's park, crossing the road when a cart driven by the prisoner suddenly came upon him at a most furious rate. He was knocked down and stunned. His nose and forehead were cut by the f►ll, and his elbow by the wheel passing over it. The sleeve of his shirt was also cut. He was quite sober. He had a friend with him. The gentleman alluded to corroborated the complainant, and stated that after the accident the defe n d an t fl ogge d the horse and drove off at a gallop. Witness followed, and the prisoner was soon overtaken and stopped. Police-constable Hallaha, B 155, who took the prisoner into custody, stated that the prisoner admitted having run over tliegentleman, but said he had called out to him to get out of the way, but that the gentleman took no notice. Mr. Vanshan--Is that a very dark spot? Hallaba—No, sir, it is lighted with gas lamps on both sides, and he could see for some distance. It is just oppo site Buckinghain•house. The prisoner repeated the statement be had made to the oMoer—that he had called out to warn the complainant, who took no notice. Mr. Vaughan—Did you hear him call out, Mr. Wood ! Complainant—No, air ; I heard nothing till I was struck down. Mr. Vaughan—lf he had called must you have heard? Complainant —I think I must. Mr. Vaughan—This is a case which I shall not deal with. I shall send the prisoner for trial CRICKET.-(THIS DAY.) To-day, soon after 12, the cricket campaign of 1867,vres opened at Lord's ground, in the presence of a fair sprinkle of spectators, the weather being everything teat could possibly be desired. The opening match, as announced in our columns, was between the gentlemen and round players of the Marylebone Club. The ground was in excellent order, and all the " surround ings" favourable. The gentlemen went first to the wickets, and Messrs. Rose and Winter were first opposed to the bowling of Grundy and Wootton. The first score was made by 3 byes off Wootton, which young Jordan let by. Mr. Winter's form was undeniably good, he hit away in rare style, and as soon as 12 were tele graphed, Mr. Rose was very cleverly run out for one. Mr. R. D. Walker followed, and at 1 o'clock the score stood thus: Mr. A. H. Winter, not out Mr. W. M. Rome, run out Mr. R. D. Walker, not out By•s Total 3 -7 MINES.-(2111S DAY.)

When arrested for disorderly con duct be pulled out • loaded revolver of seven chambers, and several times attempted to shoot. Police-constable 64 B closed with him, and endeavoured to take the revolver, but the crowd broke in and rescued the man, who made towards Clarendon-street, but fell on his way, and a dagger dropped from his hand. Seeing • person running with a revolver, Police-constable 89 B, in Clarendon-street, followed, and came up with him. A desperate struggle ensued, and the policeman was nearly overpowered, but at length be took the revolver, after it had been several times pointed at him. Seeing the man getting the better of him the constable struck him with the end of the revolver slid broke his nose. The fellow struggled for • long time after, and nearly got away from the two constables until additional force came up, and then he fainted and was taken to the hospital. Thirty-eight rounds of ball cartridge were found upon him. He refused his name or address. . . -- WHAT WE ARE TO EXPECT. —And now it seems to us that if legislation is undertaken at all, it might ad vantageously be carriod somewhat further than is proposed in the Home Secretary's bill. It is not only in the Lou. don parks that mass meetings in the open air are becoming • nuisance. They have ban a muse of complaint to the inhabitants in sot a few of our great towns. It is time, perhaps, to look a little more closely at this right of meeting. So isgarded, it will be found to become more and more unsubstantial, and to fade at last into the right of petition, a very different matter. The whole idea of petitioning is opposed to the presence of anything approaching intimidation, and the voice of a vast assemblage is always intended to convey more or less of menace. The right of meeting too, is limited by various considerations, and especielly by the right to the place of meeting. Now we conceive that many of the oh. ecitions taken to Hyde park as a place for such sasem hes apply with equal force to open spaces in most large town.—Manehater Guardian. RICKNT W/LITINOM OP EMBILSON.—The impres sion has been gaining among his countrymen that Emerson bas been receiving something from the larger crowds that have been listening to him in the last years whilst he has been communicating his thoughts to them. He has caught, as it were, some clear eyes in the companies before him which he had not suspected were there, and speak' more as if he felt that something can be practically accom plished in the present, and less as if he were depositing the ore of thoughts for another generation to quicken. In a word he has become more visibly in earnest, and conse quently more eloquent, whilst never for a moment lower ing his standard of thought. He may be regarded as the founder of the American Lyceum, and in the last twenty Jelin it has been a medium of perpetual communication between him and the people throughout the Northern States. Much of hie " English Traits," and all of his " Conduct of Life," has been given in the Lyceums not only of the cultivated Eastern States, but of the rough backwood settlements in the West. In none of these regions have there been any complaints of not understand ing him, such as were frequent in Boston and in England when he first appeared as a lecturer. This is not alone due to the greater degree in which the people have ap proached his standard ; he also has doubtless been some what educated by a greater familiarity with his country men. Nor have the great events that have occurred in America in the latter years pissed over without leaving important traces upon him. In his time he has seen the people of America steadily advancing the cause of justice, not only without great leaders but over the fallen forms of their strongest but faithless captains, and a confidence in them rarely expressed in his earlier, is a main feature in his later works. Ilia catholic intelligence has aaaimiLated the genuine peculiarities of his country, and he has found in it and its people a quarry from which he can de ri ve the material for the statues and pillars he would raise. His method too has become somewhat more practical ; and indeed it night be expected that any philosophic mind would after a full theoretic utterance gradually incline to criticism and the application of abstract principles to men and institutions. This hes given his later style • more popular and, so to speak, iconographic character; and it has also developed his humour—witty he always was.— Fraser's Mafenine for May. COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS. MARK-LANE.—(IIIIB DAY.) Our market to-day was very scantily supplied with English wheat ; yet, owing to the prevailing fine weather, and the favourable accounts at hand respecting the grow ing mops, the demand for all kinds was in a sluggish state, at prices about equal to Monday last. We were well supplied with foreign wheat, which moved off slowly, on former terms. Both English and foreign barley changed hands slowly, and inferior kinds were rather cheaper. Malt sold heavily. In prime, however, no quotable change took place. The supply was tolerably good. The show of foreign oats was tuna:any large, and sales progressed slowly, at barely stationary prima. Beans commanded very little attention, at barely late rates. In peas, next to nothing was doing, at about last week's curve The trade was very quiet, at late rates. The trade for floating cargoes of wheat ruled firm, and compared with this day se'nuight, the value of arrived car goes exhibited an advance of from 2a. to 35., whilst grain on passage, or for forward shipment, could not be pur chased ex cept at an improvement varying from is. to 2s. per qr.
