Drama. THE NEW QUEEN'S THEATRE, LONG-ACRE. The new and elegant theatre in Long-acre, ➢eht on the site of St. Martin'.-hall, atel called the Wien's, of which we gave a detailed official description a few days ago, wu opened last night, under the lesseeship ei Mr. Alfred Wigan. in the riresence of a large and brilliant audience. Mr. Wigan Las been so long and so bonoulably known to the theatre-going? public as a culti vated author, manager, and actor, that it is a matter for congratulation to find him once more at the head of • theatre. His name in any house under his control is a gearantee that everything intelligence and good taste can do will be done to amuse the public, in a way that is Neither degrading to the audience or the actors. The new theatre has been entirely built and decorated within the last six months, the architect being Mr. C. J. Phipps, and clothing of the old and not very inviting building remains except part of the vestibule—an entrance of some architectural harmony and pretension, and the four stain walls. The theatre has been built inside these walls, a circle, so to speak, having been struck within the oblong, which forms the outline of the boxes' and gallery—the seats receding to the west end of the hall, and the stage receding to the east end. The theatre is almost as much detached as Drury-lane is—an excellent arrangement when it can he secured —sad the seating capacity is mare than equal to that of the Princess's, Adelphi, or Lyceum. The chief attraction provided by Mr. Alfred Wigan for the opening night, beyond the novel of the building, was a five act play by Mr. Charles Reade, called Th. 7. Dela' 31 ,, rri' , W. There is nothing very novel about the title, the stage having many boulle Orders, Fabodo...ls, ke., and also a boldly Aturriape—a not very successful tragedy by Beaumont and Fletcher. The present play is foandi. , l on Mr. Charles Reade's novel of " White Lies," published several years ago in the London J.,erodal, when t►e proprietors tried for a short period to feed the multi tude with literature ; and " White Lies" is founded on a five act drama entitled, Le rho:, r., de lirautivr, written by M. Auguste Mao uet, and produced about fifteen years ago at the C-alto Theatre in Paris. The drama is in five acts, and was not received with that enthusiasm which denotes a success, although Mr. Wigan was most warmly and deservedly welcomed, and the usual floral honcurs were showered on the ladies. Covent-garden is very handy. It would have given us far more satisfaction to h►ve spoken with more pdtise of this drama and of the farce which preceded it, called Hr's n L.natir, but the latter deals with a subject that ought to be as little joked about as paralysis or sadden death. If the Lord Chamberlain and his well paid servants were anything more than miserable make believes, they would hardly allow a playbill to be issued with such names for characters as lied• lam, CAney Hatch, Sir March Hare, he. The writer i., u distinguished author, and government official. The drop-curtain by Mr. Telbin—a matter of small importance, perhaps—is a little disappointing ; and the band under Mr. Wallerstein's artistic leadership pro inises to be excellent. We have faith in Mr. Alfred Wigan as a theatrical manager, and feel sure that he will do his best to put his house in order. He has several able cdbcers about him; and Mr. Phipps, who was summoned before the curtain, has built him a light, well.ventilated, essamedions, and well-idtuated theatre. hparttne Enteilignue. NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING. TR U RSDAT. A. beautiful autumn morning ushered in a most interest ing day's sport, which was witnessed by • large company. The heavy state of the programme necessitated an early commencement, and the first race was therefore set fir half-pint 12 o'clock. The Nursery Handicap, which was one of the chief items of the day, attracted great interest, and readied in a magnificent finish, Beauty winning by a head. Siugularly enough last year Virdis won this event with the top w,.ight curried successfully by Beauty to-day. Kr. Thomas Hughes carried off the Selling Handicap Sweepstakes with Catalogue, one of his select stud of "yearlings." The Free Handicap Sweepstakes, contain * the names of Julius, The Palmer, and other good animals over that course, then came on for decision, and seated great excitement. Julia' was backed so Neely that he left • great gap between himself sad the others iu the quotations, but The Palmer wee supported by many good judges, as he was in receipt of Ole, which very few horses Ale capable of giving him over his own distance. Public form was attested by the pair running • dead heat, and the respec tive owners wisely agreed to divide the stakes. Some "meats of minor importance, which will be found described below, preceded the Troy Stakes, wherein the field dwin dled down to two, fr i ghtene d away by Sir Joseph Hawley's great gun. Michael de Basco, however, had the temerity to oppose him, on the strength no doubt of his victory over op pose bin,, on the strength no doubt of his v.xtory over Courtmantle on the previous day, which, without detracting from the merits of " Michael, , ' was somewhat of a fluke. Wells, whether he entertained this idea or not, was as certain as of his owls existence that Bosicrucian could give all the Albs away, and consequently did not trouble to loosen his horse's head till within a stride or two of home, when the splendid son of Beadsman shot out like • bolt and won with great ease. With the Sweepstakes of In soya won by Splendour, and the Subscription Plate of 190 sous. falling to the Mayonaise filly, the proceedings were brought to • close. The aforesaid mare, it will be recollected, is the animal who, throughout this season backed freely for innumerable handicaps, and carrying the most ridiculously light weights, failed to realise the confidence repined in her, and now with a large price against her, and nearly • stone more on her back than she has hitherto had, she wins with the usual perversity of such jades, and if there is really anything in her, as has often been asserted, it proves Blinkhoolie a good home, to run her so close at so great a disadvant...ge, especially as a very decent field finished bebill.l the pair. The Derby betting was heavy, but was chiefly remarkable for the support awarded to Sir Joseph Hawley 'a representatives; and the quotations with details of the runnio; will be found below: THE NURSERY STAKES (free Handicap) of 2.1 sees. each, for 2-yr-olds ; winuerx extra.

The railway authorities took charge of him, and sent for Mr. Maurice, surgeon, who attended, and it was considered neces.ary to remove the man to the police station, in order tlmt inquires respecting him might he made.

Payne, Deputy Assietant•Judge.) Henry PrencA, 22, shoeblack, was indicted for steeling a puree and lfs., the property and moneys of Robert Graham Fanner, from the person of Mary Farmer. Mr. Henry prosecuted ; Mr. M. Williams defended the prisoner. Mary Farmer, wife of Robert Graham Farmer, 65, Far ringglomstrect. said on the afternoon of the 12th of Octo ber, at about three o'clock, she was walking in Oxford street, having the purse in her hand, when it was snatched from her by some man, who ran away. The man who snatched the purse was wearing a blue scarf. The purse contained Ifs., and it was now produced. . . • James Bell, of 24, Little Queen•street, Long-acre, said on the afternoon of the 12th of October be heard a cry, and saw the prisoner running away. He afterwards saw him throw away something, which a gentleman picked up and gave to the lady. It was a purse. Some time after wards the prisoner wan given into custody. In erces.examination by Mr. M. Williams, the last wit ness varied the evidence he had previously given, and there were several discrepancies in it. The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. Ann Morris, 43, hawker, was indicted for stealing two bundles of celery, value la. 4d., the property of Morton Bagley. On the 19th of October the prisoner went to the prosecutor, who was standing in Covent-garden Market, and inquired the price of some bundles of celery. She was told tis. a dozen bundles, but she did not make a purchase. The prosecutor went behind a waggon to attend to the unloading, when a little boy came and spoke to him, and he saw about 20 yards off the prisoner, carrying away two bundles of celery. As soon as she found that she was ob served she threw down the two bundles of celery ; but he said he should lock her up. She tried to get away, but be told her it was no use her doing so as she bad robbed him before, and he was determined to lock her up. The pri soner afterwards said that she had bought the celery, and had given Is. for it, but the price was Is. 4.1. Edward Belcher, police-constable 63 F, proved taking the prisoner into c ustody. The prisoner, in her defence, said she had paid for the celery, which was denied by the prosecutor. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. The prisoner was then charged with baying been pre viously convicted, to which she pleaded guilty. Mr. Payne wished to know what the prosecutor meant when he told the prisoner It was not the first time she had robbed him. The prosecutor said not long ago she had robbed him of three baskets of mushrooms, but as he had got a good many things about had he followed the prisoner he should have lost things of much greater value. The prisoner here muttered something. Mr. Payne (to the warder in the dock)—What does she say The warder—Sim said to the prosecutor, " May my widow's curse fall upon you." Mr. Payne--Curses .M not usually fall upon persons who have been robbed. You have been convicted before, which you admit, and then when you are again detected you wish your widow's curse may fall upon the man you have plundered. This is a very bad offenoe,and I sentence you, after your previous conviction, to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for twelve months. The market must be protected against women like you. The prisoner u she was leaving the dock said, " I will kill him when I come out." Pane—Bring her back ; which having been done, he said, • I order you in addition to enter into your own recogniamices in the sum of 201. to be of good behaviour and keep the peace towards the prosecutor for six months." Prisoner—l can do it. Mr. Payne—And I further require you to find one surety in the sum of 211. for your good behaviour during that period. If you commit any offence during that period laour friend will have to pay VW. for you. I hope the chap in will attend to you, and that we shall find yours but an idle threat, and that you will come out of prison in a better state of mind than you are now in. The prisoner was then removed to the cells. THE POLICE COURT& MANSION-HOIPSE. Mr. Sleigh, barrister, appeared at this court in support of a summons taken out by Mr. John raft, a civil engi neer, against Mr. Wilson Apar, residing at Canonbury Villas, for unlawfully detaining certain books and papers belonging to the complainant. Mr. Edward C. Agar, the defendant's son, appeared to answer the summons ; and Mr. Clark, barrister, conducted the defence. It appeared that in April Mr. Tuft was engaged by the defendant, who it was stated represented himself to be an accredited agent of the United States, to oollect certain information in reference to property alleged to have be longed to the Southern confederacy. His remuneration was to be a commission of five per cent. and his board and lodging. He and his wife accordingly went to reside with the defendant at Canonbury. In the month of August he went to Paris on matters relating to his engagement, but on his return about three weeks ago he was refused admittance to the house, and was unable to obtain possession of his property, consisting of two diaries, a cash book, a ledger, and some letters and wear ing apparel. In reply to Mr. Sleigh the complainant stated that they bad not detained his wife. (Laughter.) The defence was that Mr. Agar was perfectly ready to give up the letters and wearing apparel, but that the books contained the information which Mr. Tuft was engaged to supply to the defendant, and for which he had already been paid nearly 200/. It transpired that a similar summons had been heard yesterday at Clerkenwell, but had been dismissed by Mr. Barker on its appearing that the books bad been re. moved from Canonbury to the defendant's office, No. 4. Railway-place, Fenchurchatrest, thus placing the one out of court. Mr. Clark opposed the application for an order to deliver up the books to the complainant, but asked the magistrate if be entertained a different opinion to postpone the sum mons until the return of Mr. Wilson Agar, who bad left London before the service of the summons on Wednesday afternoon. Mr. Sleigh—Until he removes them from Railway.plaoe to some other place. (Laughter.) Mr. Alderman Besley thought the books had better be given up. The gentleman instructing Mr. Clark said he under stood that if they were not given up a distress would be issued. Mr. Oke (chief clerk)—Oh, no, the order will be en forced within twenty-four hours. Mr. Alderman Beaky—There must be no trifling with the court. I will remain here to met that the order is executed. WORSHIP-STREET. Thomas Dudley, Thomas H 41411031, and John Small, car men, with William Morns and Rol..ere Groom, labourers, were charged with stealing four " cads," and one half chest of tea, value WI., the property of Mears. Pickford and Co., carriers. Some of the prisoners had been, it was proved, in the prosecutor's service and discharged for irregularities in their duties. Webber, one of the carmen yet remaining, was recently invited by them to act in complicity, and allow them to remove chests of tea from his van into a truck. Webber promised, hut directly afterwards told his foreman, who arranged that the property in question should be placed in the van driven by Webber, who, at a given spot. was to afford the required opportunity. Yesterday Sergeant Donaway, of the H division, assisted by 146 id, were on the look out, and saw the prisoners wheeling and pushing a truck near D.:negate-wharf, Can non-street, City, laden with chests of tea which was speedily taken to a certain house in Whitechapel. A few minutes having elapsed, Donaway broke the door °pro, and the greater portion of the tea was then seen lying in a large bag on the floor, having been emptied from the "cads" and chest which lay broken about. The prisoners were clearly taken too much by , surprise to attempt escape. "It ell," said Donaway, you appear to have been very busy here ; but you may leave off now, and consider yourselves in custody." " Let us put on our ovate fi rst," said Dudley. "And let us put on the hand cuffs before the coats, ' rejoined the officer. Hudson, who appeared to look on the matter with utter indifference, ob served, " Mr. Donaway, I give youall credit for the way in which you have managed this matter, for you bare not given us even time to taste the tea." The five prisoners were then fully committed to the sessions for trial. MARYLEBONE. _ _ John Burton, aged IN , addrers refused, was charged with stealing a portmanteau from the arrival platform of the Great Western Railway at Paddington. The prisoner wee seen by Mr. Durdle, chief inspector of the company's police, loitering about the platform. On the arrival of the e•presa train prisoner took • portmanteau from amongst the luggage. He was proceeding to the cab rank when he bras stopped. The owner of the portmanteau was now present. Mr. Thyncourt remanded the prisoner till next Tues day. SOUTHWARK. Edrard BarelsteN, a half-witted young man, a shoe black, and occasionally employed at a marine store dealer's, in Friar-street, Blackfriare-road, was placed at the bar, charged with throwing a largo knife at Anne Gardiner, and stabbing her in the back. Mr. Henry Allen, the prosecuting officer of the Asia date Institute for Enforcing the Laws for the Protection of Women and Children, watched the CAIN on behalf of the sonety. . The complainant, a very fair-looking girl, 13 years of age, said she was a brush drawer, living with bar parents at 9, Martin-street. On the previous afternoon ahe went to a marine store dealer's in Friar-street to sell some cut tings of brass wire. The prisoner was at work at the end of the shop, and she spoke to him about tearing her shawl on Monday afternoon, and told him be would catch it for doing so. The prisoner called out, "If yon don't go away, I'll have you locked up." An old man in the shop told her to throw an old boot at him, which she did, and as she was leaving the shop she felt something enter her back, and on turning round she saw the prisoner conic up to her and take the knife out of her beck. • gentleman took Me OCTOBER 25, 1867 to a doctor's, where the wound in her back was dressed. A constable came up. and took the defendant into custody. Police-constable M produced a long-bladed Spsnish knife, very sharp at the point, and last witness identihed it as the one the prisoner was working with when she threw the boot at him, and the same that the prisoner took oat of the wound in her back. George Mogen, a marine store dealer, 85, Friar-street, said he occasionally employed the prisoner, who was half witted, and unless provoked was harmless as a chill The girls and boy*, however, very much annoyed him at times, and the complainant frequently played with him. When sbe was in the shop, she throw a boot at him, and he threw the knife he was working with at her, and it stuck in her back. The magistrate uked if he had done anything of the kind before? Witness replied that he had thrown his brushes at the children who annoyed him, but never each a thing as knife. The prisoner was not in his right senses. The magistrate remanded him, so that ha might be exa mined by a surgeon. THAMES. Charles Jaws Westrro;l,a cab s:srietor and driver, was brought before Mr. Benson cha with stealing oats and cha ff , the property of Charles arrington. The prisoner rents a stable of the prosecutor in Crisp street, Bromley, and Mr. Harrington also is in possession of a stable there. Both open into the same cart shed. Mr. Harrington had for a long time past missed oats and chaff, and at last began to suspect the prisoner. He consulted police-sergeant Williams, 53 K, and acting under his advice he deposited small fragments of wood among the oats and chaff in two bins, and some wisps of straw in the door of the chaff bin. That morning the prisoner came home with his horse and cab at half-past one o'clock, opened his stable door, and put his horse and cab away. The prisoner was in the stable 20 minutes, and then left. Mr. Harrington and the police-sergeant then went to the corn and chaff bins. The straw had disappeared from the door of the chaff bin, and some chaff was missed ; oats were also missing from another bin. The prosecutor and the sergeant then examined the manger in the prisoner's stable, and hie two horses were feeding on Mr. Harrington's oats and chaff. The prisoner, who had gone home, was sent for and given into custody. Samples of the prosecutor's oats and chaff found in the prisoner's manger were produced. There were fragments of wood among them. The prisoner, on being called on for his defence began crying. He said be was very sorry for what he had done. The offence of that morning was his first one, and he would not repeat it. Mr. Benson—No, it is not your first offence. You are adding falsehood to felony. Yon have been systematically robbing Mr. Harrington of his corn and chaff, and feeding your own horses with the stolen provender. The Prisoner—No, I have not, sir. It's my first offence. I was hard up for oats and chaff for my horses this morn , ing, and— ' Mr. Benson—And stole your landlord's oorn. It is • very grave offence, and I have not the slightest doubt you have been plundering Mr. Harrington for a lengthened period. Do you plead guilty or not guilty, or do you prefer the case going before a pry at the sessions' The Prieoner—Settle it here, sir—l plead guilty. Don't send me to prison, sir ; if you do, I shall be ruined. Let I me go, and I will pay for the corn. Mr. Benson—l cannot allow anything of the kind. How much oats and chaff did you miss last night? Mr. Harrington—This morning, your worship, after the prisoner left the stables, I missed • bushel of oats and chaff, which I value at 2s. I bare mined a similar quan tity day after day. Mr. Benson said the prisoner had taken advantage of the confidence reposed in him by his landlord to carry on a nefarious system of plunder. He sentenced the prisoner toga weeks' imprisonment and hard labour. TRAFFIC RETURNS. Mae Pais Mar- Total, Total. RAILWAY& open. Seegers. shandies. 1867. 186 e.

THE REPRESENTATION OF DORCHESTER.—FoT many years past the representation of the county town of Dorset has been equally divided between the liberals and conservatives, each party returning one member, but by the Reform Bill the borough has one of its representa tives taken away and this it has been felt will materially alter the state oethings at the next election. In 183•2, when Mr. R. R. Sheridan, the liberal member, was first elected, he stood at the head of the poll by a considerable majority, but in 1805, when there was a contest, Lieut. Colonel Sturt, the conservative member, headed the list by a majority over Mr. Sheridan of 13. A severe contest is looked for in 1869 in the event of both the present members offering themselves, but a surprise has come upon the electors on Mr. Sheridan announcing his retirement into privatelifeattheclose of next session. In his address henrys : " Were I so fortunate as to be again chosen for the support of those opinions, there could not be a doubt that one of the results of the proposed changes in the constituency would be to place many of my friends, who have hitherto been my most strenuous supporters, in a very delicate and trying position. Under the most favourable conditions to myself, much acrimony and bitterness would be created, followed probably by a lengthened period of ill-will and beartburnuigs. I reside too near our county town, and have too many friends amongst the inhabitants, who would be sufferers in my cease, to desire success at such a out." Mr. Sheridan has represented Dorchester for 16 years." CASES OF OUTLAWRY. —lt will be remembered that some six or seven weeks ago two men, profeuing to be Greek merchants, absconded after obtaining large quan tities of Manchester and Yorkshire manufactures, chiefly on the false pretence that they were purchasing on behalf of the French government. These men, D. ftodetty and L. Galipoliti, were to have surrendered yesterday at the Manchester Court of Bankruptcy, before Mr. D. C. Macrae, the registrar, for the purpose of undergoing their last examination. They did not appear, however, and having been formally summoned by name in the usual form by the crier of the court, they were declared outlaws. The debts proved against Rodetty were 13,0001. and against Calipoliti 11.1.101. Messrs. Sale, Worthington, and Co. were the solicitors on behalf of the creditors. THE FENIAN OUTRAGE AT MANCHESTER.—MT. W. P. Roberta, solicitor, Manchester, on behalf of the prisoners committed for the murder of Police-sergeant Brett, has transmitted the following letter to the Home Secretary, in reply to the communication refusing to post pone the trial :—" Gresham Chambers, Princess-street, Manchester, Oct. ' Allen and 25 others.'--Sir,—l have your letter of this morning, in which you decline to accede to the prayer for a postponement of these trials. Permit me to request you to reconsider this determination. It is impossible to instruct counsel in time. No counsel are retained, for there is no money to retain them with, but during the next six weeks money will come in. Briefs ought to be in the hands of counsel at least a fortnight before the trials. The work is immense of analysing all the cases, and it requires time and industrious labour. The case is very much out of common. Twenty-six men, all of them accused of murder, and all with evidence against them that, in the present state of excitement, may sentence them to death. It is easy to talk about being ' firm' and so forth. My impression is that if the trial is thus pressed on, the men will elect not to be defended at all. I feel compelled to ask you to satisfy yourself of the truth of the memorial, and to grant its prayer.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, "NV. P. Roeurrs." ANOTHER FENIAN HOAX IN LIVERPOOL.—At the Liverpool police-court yesterday, • young man named Cummins, said to be a tailor, was charged with stealin g two shirt s from a public-house In Earle-street. Before the case terminated it transpired that the prisoner had caused the police authorities of the town a good deal of trouble and anxiety a few nights previously. He called at the police office, and announced with some pomposity and officiousness that he had been sent over by the Manchester authorities with information to the effect that the Fenians intended to cut off the Liverpool gas supply. The result was that • large number of extra officers, together with sonic of the heads of the force, were kept on the qui rive during the whole night, but nothing occurred to justify the warning. Cummins next told the police that if 7 guineas were given to him, he could find out the where abouts of Colonel Kelly. Suspicions being aroused that Cummins was an impostor, he was sent adrift, and no thing further was seen or heard of him nail his arrest for stealing. The case was remanded. The Birmingham POSi gives currency to a rumour that government intend to prosecute some local numufac turers or merchants—names not stated—for supplying known Fenian, with consignments of rifles and revolvers. There is no doubt (it says) that two years ago a cod =my guns, quite as dangerous to the users as to the enemy,'" were surreptitiously shipped to Ireland, and were traced and captured through the instrumentality of the then Mayor and the police. The gossip (it adds) is no doubt a mere revival of that scandal ; if it is not, there is still no proba bility of any such prosecution, as even if arms have found their way to Ireland from Birmingham, both vendor and buyer would take care to give the transaction an ordinary business oomplexion. RELIEF Or TRUSTEES AND EXECUTORS.—Ey the new County Court Act, trustees, executors, and others with fund. not exceeding 5001. may, in their own relief, pay the same into a Poet-office saving, bank in the name of the registrar aad also transfer severities to the same. THE BLOOMSBURY MURDER. THE ADJOURNED INQUEST. At the close of the evidence yesterday, The Coroner observed that if the jury were not eatiefied that there was not • particle of truth in Mrs. Janman's evidence, Mr. Sleigh should be allowed to call further evi dence in refutation of her statements. It was possible for the inquiry to be adjourned from time to time in order to have Groves present if the jury thought that desirable, or they might at once deliver an open verdict, or a verdict accusing Groves of the crime. In his opinion there was • deficiency of anything like evidence that Groves really fired the shot. Groves himself admitted that he wu at the Turk's Head between 12 and 1 o'clock on the night of the murder, but as to the direction he took after leaving there was mot the slightest evidence. Even the evidence of Mrs. Janman did not point to the way he went, nor would it, if worthy of belief, prove that he was the person who fired the shot. They had also evidence that the bullet by which M'l)onnell was murdered would no: fit the pistol found at Groves' lodgings. But Mrs. Janman, by her contradictory statements, and by writing letters in which there was not a particle of truth, had, in his opinion, placed herself entirely out of court. (Applause.) Many of her statements did not at all harmonise, and there was something so worderful upon the doctrine of chances in the circumstance that she should not only have seen the men before the murder, but that she should have heard them threatening murder, and then that she should have met them again in Oxford-street as they came out of Hart street, and that at thatmoment one cf them should be speaking to the other of what he had done, that her story was altogether improbable. It was e xoeedin glyimprobable, in the first place, that one of the men should put on a beard to disguise himself, and that the other should imme diately afterwards address him by name in the street, but it was still more difficult of belief that Providence should so arrange that she should some days afterwards meet the dark man in Oxford -street, and that he should then be talking to some others about the murder. The evident.) of this woman was not worthy of the attention of the jury. If any of them were inclined to give ere. denoe to any portion of it further inquiry would be necessary in order that it might be more thoroughly sifted, but his own impression was that in so important a case the jury ought not to deliver a verdict according to such evidence, and even if they believed her statement it would not establish the fact that the pistol was fired by Groves. Then it was a question whether the inquiry should be adjourned in the hope that they might get further evidence. It was no doubt very shocking that with such a police force as the metropolis possessed, it should be neoesaary to abandon an inquiry aa to a murder committed in the streets of London, and if the jury arrived at any decision, their investigation would be brought to an end. At the same time, if they delivered an open verdict and further evidence afterwards name to light, Groves might again be brought before a police magistrate and committed upon the charge of murder. Another point to be borne in mind was that if the jury now returned a verdict against Groves, be would pro bably be acquitted by the criminal court, in consequence of the insufficiency of the evidence, and he could not in that case be again tried for the murder. The jury then retired, and upon their return into court, after an absence of a quarter of an hour, The Foreman said by a majority of 15 to 2we have agreed to the following verdict—" That Edwin M'Donnell met his death by a pistol shot fired on the night of the 27th of September or the morning of the tith by some per son unknown ; and the jury further desire to express their opinion that Mrs. Denman has been guilty of conspiracy and perjury, and to recommend that she be prosecuted." The Coroner—l have no power to prosecute. The latter part of your finding must therefore appear u a separate resolution, to be forwarded upon the responsibility of the jury to the Home Secretary. Of course the jury wish it to be understood that M'Donnell was murdered. The Foreman—We have no doubt that be was wilfully murdered. The Coroner—Then your verdict is in fact " Wilful mur der against some person or persons unknown." TEE RITUALISTIC SERVICES AT Sr. LAWRENCE JEWRY.—Yestordsy afternoon • numerously attends:l meeting of the inhabitants of the parishes of St. Lawrence, Jewry, and St. Mary Magdalen, Milk-street, was held in the vestry-room of the church, to consider two notices of motion which were given at the last meeting, strongly con demnatory of the ritualistic practices which have lately taken place in the church. The chair was occupied by the senior churchwarden Mr. R. Kynaston. The object of the meeting having been briefly opened by the chairman, Mr. Churchwarden Burr read a correspondence which had taken place between the vicar, the Rev. B. M. Collie, and himself with respect to the proceedings which had lately taken place in the pariah, and respecting which he had unhesitatingly expressed great surprise. The vie= stated that he did not see that he had done anything that could ' give offence. He (Mr. Churchwarden Burr) bad then pointed out certain of the proceedings, such as the wearing of orders and crosses at the tonnes which had taken place, and other ritualistic practices of which he and a large number of the parishioners complained. The chair man read • letter from the vicar, explaining the reason of his absence from the meeting upon the ground that be could not act as chairman at a vestry, which position it was his right to occupy, at which his conduct was called into ques tion. Mr. C. Lowry then proposed the following motion, of which he had given notice, viz..—" That whilst this vestry heartily approves of special efforts being made by the church for the spread of the gospel in our colonies and in foreign lands, and also considers the circumstance of the visit of numerous colonial and other Anglican bishops to this metropolis a fitting opportunity for such an effort being made in the church of St. Lawrence, Jewry, it nevertheless desires tc record its unqualified disapproval of the processional and other ritualistic or popish innovations made during the week of such special services held in this church from the 14th to the 22nd of September last, as being repugnant to the feelings of the protestant inhabitants of the parish, contrary to the uni. form practice of Divine worship as performed in the church, ai.d in no sense sanctioned by the Book of Common Prayer. This vestry regards it moreover an an immediate attempt to a further development of the popish or ritual istic practices introduced into the protestant reformed church of this realm, and pledges itself to do all in its power to prevent a repetition of such practices," which was declared to be carried, an amendment to it meeting with but little support. Mr. Lowry then moved • reso lution instructing the beadle to remove ell placards or notices placed ou the notice board of the church favour able to the ritualistic or Rontish movement, and that under no circumstances should any notices be affixed on the notice board without the consent of the church wardens. This proposition was also carried almost unani mously, and after passing a cordial rota of thanks to the chairman, the meeting broke up. SALE OF A CITY CHURCH. —Tho old church of St. Benet'', Gracechurch, which stands at the corner of Gracechurch-street and Fenchurch-street, was sold yester day, but who is the purchaser has not yet transpired. Under the Bishop of London's " Union of /knefices Act " the parish of St. Benet has been amalgamated for eccle siastical purposes with the parish of All Hallows, Thames street. and St. Benet's church is to be removed. With that view the Rev. W. F. Erskine Knollys, the Bishop of Lon don's chaplain, performed last year what has been not inaptly termed a "deconsecrating service" in the old building, and it has been shut up since that time. It was originally intended that the materials of churches destroyed under this act should be sold by auction, but this was stoutly opposed by Archdeacon Hale, a sturdy churchman of the old school, without whose con sent no sale of any kind, or, indeed, any union of benefices could have taken place. A compromise was consequently agreed to, and persons willing to buy the church sent in their tenders yesterday to Messrs. Fuller and Horsey, of Billiter.square. It is • large church, and the bricks, lead, Sc., are likely to bring in a considerable sum. There are also in the church antique oak carvings, believed to be of the aeventeenth century. With the endowments of St. Benet's and the produce of the sale it is intended to found a district church, with schools, in the populous parish of Stepney. This new church, in memory of its predecessor, will be dedicated to St. Benet. A FRIENDLY SOCIETY AND ITS BEER MONEY.— A man named Houghton Walsh was on Wednesday sum moned before the Blackburn magistrates on the charge of misapplying the sum of 16e. belonging to the Amicable Friendly Society, Blackburn. The evidence for the pro secution was to the effect that the society had existed for sixty or seventy years, and during the whole of that pe riod it had been the custom to pay for beer out of the so ciety's funds (at the rate of 2d. a member for the total number connected with it, there now being 140), the beer being drunk at every meeting, and the customary expeuili ture onto( the subscriptions being about 19s. at each sit ting. Mr.Pemberton, the secretary, thereupon wroteto Mr. Tidd Pratt, informing him that he had refused to enter an account of that description in the books, and asking his advice as to the course to be adopted. Mr. Pratt replied : —" The misapplication of the funds in the way stated is punishable under the 18th and 19th Vie., c. 63, s. 24." It was proved that on the 24th September last, at the quar terly meeting, the defendant, who is also a member of the society, took out of • basin containing the subscriptions the sum of 165., which was spent in beer. The defence was that as Walsh bad acted under instructions he had not committed the offence wilfully within the meaning of the act, but simply as a servant under orders. The bench con sidered the law clear, and ordered defendant to pay 15s. and costs. THE WEST AFRICAN MAIL ,—Yesterday the African Royal Mail steamer Calabar, Captain Corbett, sailed from the Mersey with the mail■ for Madeira, Teneriffe, and the West African Coast.

Some large houses, concerned chiefly in the home trade, say that it is as bad as it can poimib!y but in other directions we hear that at last there are • few American buyers about. They are, however, dealing very sparingly, and at present their orders have no appre ciable affect upon the trade. In the hosiery trade, also, the home business is exceedingly quiet, but there in rather more stir in the foreign departments. Yarns have been firm, and the impression gains ground that prices have really touched the bottom. More confidence is therefore felt, that before long there will be a revival in several branches of the staple trades.-Nuicinehast Juana:.

WOOL AND WORSTED.—BRADFORD, Ocr. 24. There is a better feeling pervading the wool market this morning, though the improvement in business is h a rdly appreciable. Spinners who have taken orders are in many cases looking round to cover with wool, and buy whenever they can meet with anything cheap. Some lute have been sold at low prices. The gloom of Monday seems to have disappeared, and there is • general feeling that things have reached the lowest point and may take • turn for the better. There is consequently rather more con fidence than there was. Prices are rather more regular than they were, and holders are not so eager to sell. In worsted yarns there is a fair demand for the home trade, some spinners having taken orders which will occupy them fur some months to come. There is also more doing in both singles and two-folds for the continental tr ad e. The orders come in driblet*. Individual spinners report that they are steadily employed, though the general complaint is that the trade is very bad. There is no doubt a little more doing in 30's, 32's, and 36's lustre. Prices are a little steadier, and perhaps, on the whole, higher than last week. The only noticeable feature in the piece mar. ket is the better feeling which prevails. The orders given out are quite of a retail character. The amounts from America are not favourable. The home houses are not operating. Foreign merchants are looking round with a view rather to test prices than to place orders. There is • more hopeful feeling, and pekes are less irre gular. CORN.—BIRMINOHAII Ocr. 24.—At this day's market there was • large supply of English wheat, which was cleared off at • reduction of ls. to 2s. per quarter, whil.t white was fully se dear. Foreign 21. to 3a. lower. Barley advanced ls. per quarter. On oats the turn was in favour of buyer. Beans and peas unaltered. Munoz., Ocr. 24.—Arrivals this week are very trifling. On our market to-day the supply of farmers' wheat was moderate, and taken freely by millers, at a reduction of la. to 21. per qr. A fair consumptive demand for foreign, at the full prices of this day isennight, the intermediate depression being recovered. For malting barley • fair inquiry, without change in value. Grinding fully as dear. The demand for oats small, at • decline of 6d. per qr. Maize slow and ls. per qr. lower. Beans and peas dull. Devizes, Orr. 24.—the price of wheat in our market to-day was not so much lower as it has ruled at many of tke provincial markets since our last. With a moderate supply, we bad a fair trade at a decline of 2s. a qr. • but the demand could not be Galled brisk, and a considerable quantity was left unsold at the close. Barley was in small supply, and the trade somewhat slow, last week's prices being with difficulty maintained ; many of the samples were not in very good condition, and for these leas money had to be taken. Oats, beans, and peas are all Is. a qr. higher. Eye and vetches as last week. Best white wheat, 38e. to 395. ; best red ditto, 375. fkl. to 38s. lid.; new ditto 38.. to 38s.

BLANCHESTER, Orr. 24.—Our market this morning was tolerably well attended, and a steadier tone was apparent. English wheat was in moderate request, at a decline of •.k. per qr. since this day etennight, and foreign at a reduction of GEL per cents . Extra qualities of flour were Is., and secondary sorta 22a. per sack cheaper. Oats were Id. per 451ba., and oatmeal la. per load lower. Euptian beans sold at quite 2a. per qr. less money, while English brought fully previous rates. In Indian corn no change can be noted, the decline of the week being quite recovered. NEWARK, Orr. 23.—The attendance was fair. Business in wheat was inactive at 3s. per qr. below late rates. Supply of barley middling, and late rates were hardly paid. For oats and beaus prima were a shade higher than heretofore. NEWBURY, Ocr. 24.—We had • tolerable supply of wheat this day. The trade exceedingly slow. To effect sales 3s. to 4s. per qr. reduction bed to be submitted to. Barley more plentiful, and ls. to 2s. cheaper. No coot• able change on oats or beans. STOCKTON, Ocr. 24—The market was well supplied with farmers' wheat, and there was • good demand, which, however, did not prevent • decline of 4s. per qr. on the rates of this day week. There was no change in other articles, except dour, which was 2a. per sack lower. Bar ley, oats, beans, &a., did not receive much attention. EDINBURGH, OCT. 7.3.—As compared with last week, wheat was 2s. up on top, and 3a. 4d. down on average ; barley was Ia down on top, and id. down on average ; oats were is. Cal. down on top. and Nkl. down on average ; beans were 9s. up on top, and tie. 3d. up on average. Wheat, Ms. to We. ; barley, 30s. to 445. ; oats, 265. 6d. to 365. ; beans, 435. to 51s. CATTLE.-Barerot, Ocr. 24.-At our market to-day there was a large supply of beet and mutton of very fair quality, but the trade was dull, and a good deal remained unsold. The prices of beef were about the earns as last week, inferior quality selling about 63e. per cwt. ; mid dling, from 63a. to 68s. ; and very superior, from 665. to 68a. per cwt. ; while in a few rare instances choice ani mals fetched 70s. per cwt.
