There was another case of ohe jeughter against a publican named Harris, under 1 these a i rcum etances. It appeared that the deceased, who I b een forbidden the house, attempted to forte him a bed into the premises, and the prisoner therefore re- mov ed him by force. This he was undoubtedly justified tit g o b', but it was alleged that the prisoner bad Area the deceased a blow from which he fen against the k er b, indicting an injury to the head which had caused ' the d ea th. If this should be proved to their satisfaction ty , would be their duty to return a true bill. The learned i theeec ler alluded to an indictment against a person for reer e e ing into his house, which was not licensed for that eneo cee, a lunatic for hire or reward. No doubt the s tatute which was alleged to have been infringed had hem pasted with a view to the protection of persons suffer jog hoot mental dime& and the indictment had probably b ee n preferred in order to show the law cannot he infringed with i m punity. The Recorder then remitted the grand boy to the commencement of theirlabours. • jpd o erd SAeridan, a gentlemanly looking man, moron- J are d to take his trial for writing and publishing a false sad defamatory libel concerning a gentleman named Al bliThlner ju daf e endant pleaded guilty to the charge of publish jet tltelhol in question. Ballaatine, wbo appeared for the prosecution, Mid that the prosecutor was a native of the Brazils, but he bed been for a number of years residing in this country, red carried on an extensive business as a dealer in ship's stores. lie had unfortunately become mixed up in some ch e mery proceeding& and since that time he had b e en subjected to the greatest possible annoyance y the publication of scurrilous and libellous latter respecting him. For alo time the prosecutor took no notice of these proceedings, but at length they assumed such an aspect that he was compelled to take the pint proceeding. However, he believed there was D o doubt that the defendant was not the person who had aitiated the proceedings complained of, and under all the circumstances he should be satisfied on the part of the prosecution if the defendant entered into a recognisance e nd found one surety aa a guarantee that the offence Mold not be repeated. Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., who ap pea red for the defendant, mid that he occupied a respec tab le position, and he had eerily been guilty of publishing the libel complained of, md had nothing to do with ita concoction. He now co rned his regret at what had happened, and promised ,at to repeat the offence, and would enter into the re fired sureties for that purpose. The defendant was then discharged upon his entering Ito a reoognisanco for 44:10/., with one surety in the sum of MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.)

THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) CLERKENWELL RIOT IN THE ST. PANCRAS WOREROVSR. Eliarkil7ls;:is, aged 20, Frances Spring, aged 19, and Edrural Rom, aged iG, inmates of the St. Pancras Work house, who were described on the charge sheet as having no occupation, were charged before Mr. Cooke with insu bordinate conduct whilst inmates of the workhouse, and Rosa was further charged with violently assaulting Mr. Alexander Cameron Morrison, the master, atthe same time sad place. The Master of the Workhouse stated that on Saturday afternoon the defendants came to him to ask him for • ' ticket of leave of absence. In consequence of the bad cha ncier of Ross he refused to grant it to him, on which he made use of very bad language, and created a great dis turbance. He ordered him to go to the Separation Ward, but this he refused to do, and turned round, put himself in • fighting attitude and made • hit at him (the master). He put his arm out to push him away, and in doing so might have touched him on the face. The male d,efendant kicked him on the legs, and he now felt pain from the effects of the kick. He at last got the defendant down, and he put his knees on his shoulder to keep him down, and in the wriggling about the defend-kid made him slip his knee, which went on to hi face ; and if it hurt him he was very sorry for it. The defendant again kicked him, and that with such force that it had lamed him. Mr. Cooke—You have said nothing about the females. Teat have you brought them here for? The Molter—For making use of the most outrageous, indecent laic-nage I have ever heard. The young women sae generally well conducted, but the language they mule use of ea Saturday was so bad, that I should not lan tu pollute the ears of the court or my mouth with it. The boy is known as very violent, and has been sentenced et two months' hard labour in the House of Correction for mesultiug the labour master. Mr. Chapman, the labour master, gave confirmatory tes tawny, and said he saw the boy kick the master, and lewd the young women make use of filthy disgusting ltichardson, an inmate, said he saw the boy Ross kick tie master, and then saw the master get him down. The muter then put his knee on the boy's shoulder, and in is struegle the master's knee got on his face. The defendant Ross said the master knocked him down, pit his hand over his mouth, to prevent his screams from king heard, and pulled him up by the hair of the head. He was sure that he did not use abusive language towards the master. Since he had been sentenced to the two einths• hard labour, the master and the labour-superin- Latent were always twitting him, and saying that they would send him again to prison. The female defendant' said that if they did call out they Tern sure that they did not make use of bad language. Mr. Morrisout said that the boy bad been brought up in the school, and had teen sent to sea, but nothing could be tune with him, an he was a violent ill-tempered boy, and in the constant habit of' annoying and insulting the old men. Be had brought the defendants here forthe purpose of keep- Nap the discipline of the house. Mr. Cooke said that there was not the least doubt that )toss had been guilty of the charge imputed to him, and it 182 very plain that he was a very bad boy. It was a very led return to make for being supported at the expense of the public, to be guilty of insubordination. That could enter be allowed. Ile had better be careful what he was shoat, for if he was brought here again on such • i chirp he wonl.l he dealt with very severely. He should tow only sentence him to one month's hard labour in the House of Correction. With respect to the girls they onght to have known better, for they were living on ?dale charity. Thcy 'would have to be imprisoned for nee day, but they might depend on it if they were brought thee again on such a charge they would not get o ff so lightly, The hov Ross said that he was sorry for what he had clue andwould take care never to come here again. The other defendants were removed laughing from the deck. MARYLEBONE. DEATH OF MR. YARDLEY. Last evening, at 6 o'clock, Edward Yardley, Esq., one of Ile ina,tatrdes at this court, expired at his residence, No. 8 , laandfortl-square, Marylebone. Mr. Yardley was called to the bar on the 21ta of November, 1834, and for the past .") lean has filled the post of stipendiary magistrate within the metropolitan district. THE CHARGE TOR AM , AAPLT AGAINST AN IRISH M.P. The charge for an assault alleged to have been com mitted d o Alt. Brardon 11LP. for Athlone, which had been set wn for hearing', has been adjourned to a future day, WORSHIP-STREET. rwe:•l‘43 GAMBLERS. WilAirma &rmird the proprietor of a restaurant coffee-house in toe neighbourhood of Commercial !l:rest. , Wbitechapel. was charged with permitting gambling his house, the 'tame being a place of public resort. Webb 120 H, deposed that on the sth inst. he and &tether constable went to the house in question, passed through the front entrance, and proceeded along a passage unfit st opped by a closed and fastened door. He gave the wort "Simon" as a part word. The door sprang open, lad inside the Rom tomtit he perceived a long table Peel down th e , centre , aroun d w hi c h were f ro m 'an] to forty 'persons. Witness and his brother testable were in uniform, and the instant this was per use' a violent effort was made by some to force them nawarda, while others made their escape through some outlet at the rear, after having dung the chairs on the table, trembled for some money in a box, and also for cards. A Wne of the greatest confusion prevailed. Witness and no brother oflicer secured a portion of twopacks of cards, trifle of money, and the mosey-box. Cooper, 121 H, confirmed all this ; and „Mr. Vann, in cress-examination, elicited from both that Vann, was not present • that those who wore e . , tearod to be foreigners—principilly German Jews ; and it was impossible to say what they were playing THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 19, 1866. Mr. Vann then contended that there was not sufficient testimony to convict for the alleged offends in simply proving that the implements for such were there. Foreigners it was well known, ware in the habit of carry ing cards about with them for the purpose of amusement, and, in the absence of the landlord (the defendant), might have done so without his knowledge. The m said he bad no doubt about the matter, and defendant, who had been fined before, had to pay 40s. had been lost, and they nowrecommended the shareholders to sanction that step. The directors believed that under a There liquidation 101. per share would be returned. There had been a scheme for reconstruction, with a reduced liability, and sixty or seventy of the largest shareholders bad conferred with the directors on the subject ; but this scheme it was decided on Friday last to postpone, and those assembled directed their atteu 800 instead to the best mode of liquidating. Resolutions were passed with that view. He then read the reao:utions, which were substantially in favour of a voluntary winding up with a substitution of a committee of six shareholders for the provisional liquidators. Step. for reconstruction might be taken hereafter or something done to dispose of the assets to another ban g. In conclusion, he remarked that the acceptances of the National Bank had been re duced below 500,0001., and moved the adoption of the report and accounts. Mr. A. KINTIMA protested spinet the adoption of the report and accounts under the present circumstances. Mr. P. VANDERBYL, M.P., reminded the hon. proprietor that the report emanated from shareholders appointed by the auditors. Mr. It INTRZA still thought that the report ought only to be received. At the same time he had always been in favour of reconstruction with a view to a connexion with some other bank, as the beet mode of recovering as much as possible. He had no wish to throw blame on the directors, but he should like to know whether, quite inde pendently of the late manager, Mr. Thompson, heavy losses had not been incurred at the bead office in London. (Hear, hear.) It was of no use to say that this man or that one was not to blame—some one must be to blame—aud the shareholders would neglect their duty to themselves if they did not inquire whether anyone hero or elsewhere ought to be brought to a bar of criminal jus tice. (Cheers.) He wanted to know who were the men, if there were any, who had dipped their bands dishonestly into the pockets of the shareholders. (Hear, hear.) They were now told that the losses amounted to over 700,0001.; yet only a month ago there was issued by the directors a circular in which they said that an audited statement ' would be presented on this occasion which they hoped would be satisfactory to the shareholders. (Hear and laughter.) It 1 1 was marvellous that so short a period ago the board were so ignorant of the affairs of the bank. He charged the di rectors, many of whom were City merchants of the highest standing, with having for years conducted the affairs of the bank in total oblivion of its real position. The most important question for the shareholders was how they might recover as much as possible ; but they ought not to leave the management in the hands of professional accountants, or of persons who had proved incompetent. Mr. MITITLEBURY was astonished City merchants of repu tation could have been such dupes as the board bad been. He moved a resolution to the effect that the bank be wound up voluntarily under the inspection of the Court of Chancery, and that the following gentlemen should be elected at a meeting, to be called as early as possible, to act as liquida tors—Mr. Alderman Allen, Mr. Vanderbyl. M.P. ' and a director of the National Bank, Mr. Kintrea, Mr. MeNare, and Captain Engledue. Col. Weon seconded the motion. SOUTHWARK. lIIPODIDIT SHOP ROBBERY. Timothy Donoghue, s tall powerful looking man, well known to the police se s returned convict, was placed at the bar before Mr. Woolrych, charged with stealing s pair of boots from 111, New-cut, and vaulting Benjamin Bladwell, The prosecutor said he managed a boot and shoe busi ness at No. 111, New-cut. On Saturday about 7 o'clock he was attending to a customer when the prisoner entered the shop, took a pair of boots from the win dow, and after carefully examining them he coolly put them under his coat and left the shop with them. Witness pursued him, and on stopping him told him to come back to the shop as he wanted to speak to him. When they got to the shop door the prisoner suddenly sprang upon him and knocked him down. They then had a struggle together when the prisoner got hold of his neck cloth and attempted to strangle him. Fortunately Inspector Edwards came up at the time and released him, and the prisoner was eventually secured and conveyed to the station house. Richard Edmonds, inspector of the L division, said he was passing along . the New-cut at the time in question, when he heard cries of " Police" at the prosecutor's door, and perceived him and the prisoner on the ground strug gling together. The latter had bold of the former's neckcloth very tight, making use of very violent language. Witness pulled - him away when the prisoner turned upon him, and was very violent. On searching him he found a loin of pork concealed on his person, which no doubt be had stolen. The prisoner here said that be was so drunk that he knew nothing of the occurrence. The inspector informed his worship that he had been drinking, but he knew what he was about. Lewis Rogers, police-constable 187 L, said he knew the prisoner as a notorious thief. He was present at the Surrey Sessions in December, 1888, when he was sentenced to penal servitude for felony, after several previous con victions. He was liberated with a ticket of leave. He had since been convicted of felony. The prisoner denied that, but Mr. Woulrych committed him for trial. BANK OF HINDUSTAN, CHINA, AND JAPAN (LIMITED).-(THIS DAY.) An extraordinary meeting of the shareholders was held at noon, at the London Tavern, Mr. M Smiri in the chair, to receive an audited statement of the • affairs of the company. The following report and balance.sheet were presented by the auditors : " We the undersigned hereby certify that we have closely scrutinised into the value of the assets of the bank, and regret that we have to report a very large estimate of losses at the head office and several of the branches. These A SHARLHOLDER observed that the meeting was prema ture in entertaining such a resolution, having been called merely to receive the auditors' report and balance-sheet. A long and desultory discussion ensued as to the proper constitution of the committee of liquidators. [The meeting was proceeding when our report left]. losses have for the moot part been made at the Bombay, Calcutta, and China branches, and appear to us to have occurred from the most reckless manage ment, and in some cases in almost total disregard of the established rules of the bank, and in opposition to the special instructions of the head office. These remarks apply more especially to the Bombay branch, where the funds of the bank have been squandered in the most wanton manner, and money advanced to parties no toriously unworthy of credit, and upon worth less securities. More than one-half of the whole losses have been made at this branch. From the report of Mr. Stewart, dated 12th October last, who was instructed to make an investigation of the opera tions of the Bombay branch, and of the value of its securi ties, we make the following extracts:—' Hitherto deviations from your instructions appear tohave beenthe rule—not the exception—hence the serious losses incurred aS this branch. Had your general instructions as to local hipline's alone been attended to, fully one half of the present estimated losses would have been avoided. Until within a few months past very little attention appears to have been paid to the reelisation of the outstanding debts owing to the bank and it was only after my arrival here that active steps of a legal nature were adopted. I have endeavoured to ascertain whether there were any special causes to which to attribute such unfortunate results at this branch, but have been unable to trace any beyond mere mismanagement. The enormous operations duringthe ball-year, to which you refer, appear to have been entered into without any definite object beyond that of doing a very large business. Little or no calculation would seem to have been made as to the probable results of the operations entered into, and so far as I can judge, provi sum for liabilities coming due from time to time was not gene rally made in advance, so that when large amounts became due, they had to be met by a sacrifice in rates of exchange.' We have sought from the latest returns received from the several branches, together with the report of Mr. Stewart referred to, and explanations from the general manager and other officers of the bank, to obtain the fullest in formation of the circumstances attending each ac count, and of the value of the general assets whereon we have based our estimate of the probable amount of losses that will be sustained by Abe bank. The information and returns received in some cases are very insufficient; having, however, carefully examined all the accounts and statements available, we believe we Nava kr rived as neatly as possible at a correct statement of the probable loss, which wo estimate will amount to about 713,4041. beyond the sum of 87,7941. Is. 211. written off the reserve fund of December, 1865. The capital account of the bank under this estimate will stand as follows, viz.:—Paid up, 892,217/. ; estimated value of 26,753 1 . calls in arrest-, 15,000/. • b alance of re serve fund, 20,6051.; total, 927,852/. Deduct estimated The next auction of the London Stock and Share Company (Limited) will take place to-morrow (Tuesday) at I o'clock precisely, immediately after which the first emption for the purchasing in public of bonds, stocks, shares, &c., w;11 take place. In his sermon, yesterday week, on the marr;age of the Princess Denier, the British chaplain at St. Peters burg compared many of the circumstances connected with the history of the newly-married princess with those in the life of Ruth, the gleaner in the fields of Boaz. The most difficult point to touch upon was the change of re ligion. but here again he found a similarity between the fate of the Danish princess and the Moabiteas. " And," says he, "if some shaking of the old religious forms and habits should visit her with disturbing fears, yet in the new faith was there nothing which need rob her of the ever-present grace of that good God upon whose bosom he whom first she loved had laid down and slept." THE PI'iNCE OF WALES IN Rtssu.—The fol lowing is the reply the Prince of Wales made to the address of the English residents :—" Gentlemen,—l am much gra tified by the sentiments which you have expressed to me on the occasion of my visit to St. Petersburg, and I shall nut fail to acquaint the Queen with the feelings of loyalty and patriotism that animate her Majesty's subjects in Bussia. It is also gratifying to me to learn, as I am sure it will be to the Princess of Wales, that you hail the con nexion now established between us cad the hereditary Grand Duke as a means of strengthening the hienilly rela tions of Great Britain with an empire iu which you enjoy so many adrantsges ; and I sympathise warmly with ) our earnest wishes for the happiness of the Emperor and the im perial family, and for the prosperity of the Russian nation. You say truly that a community of material inter eats must have a favourable influence on the intercourse of the two countries, and it affords me the highest satisfaction to know that those interests are still upheld in Russia as they have been for the last 300 years by a body of British residents who possess the respect and confidence of the go vernment and people, and who occupy a position at once honourable to themselves and to their country. We have happily become aware in England that our own well-being is promoted by that of this nation, and I congratulate you sincerely on your anticipations of a further development of the resources and commerce of Russia. Gentlemen, I thank you again for the interest you manifest in the mar riage of the sister of the Princess of Wales with the Grand Duke Alexander Alexandrovitch, and for the hope you loss as above, 713,404/.• balance remaining, 214,445 1 . As the outstanding isalances and past due bills at Calcutta and Bombay are much dependent upon the realisation of depressed securities and expected divi dends from insolvent estates, it will take time and expense have so well expressed of happy result& from my iillia - nce with the imperial family." The deputation was introduced by Mr. T. Mitchell, her Britannic Majesty's consul, and presented to his royal highness by Sir Andrew Buchanan, A.C.B. to recover them, but with a revival of commercial Confi dence in India the market for these securities may be im proved, whereby the position of the bank will be cone spondingly improved. Among theloans due to the head-office, there are several amounts due from some of the directors, Y SIR ROUNDELL PALMER AND THE NEUTRALITY Liwn.—Writing to the Thu , Sir I:(.undell Palmer says:— " What I have always said as to the Alabama claims (and what has also been said in the de/matches of Lord Human is this—that there has never hitherto been any rule of in all about 5,000/., and a further sum of about 16,000/ Faterna tiiTilii law prohibiting the merchants of 1. neutral the liability to which on the part of some of the first country from building, supplying, or selling ships of war, directors and others is disputed ; but the matter has been either in neutral terntoryor elsewhere, to any belligerent ; 'agreed to be referred to arbitration.

Nevertheless, Consols are maintained at Saturday's rifle, and a fresh advance is observable in several of the foreign securities, the most important upward movement being in Turkish of 1862 and 1865.
