She stated hint that she had been robbed and assaulted two nights iore, and she was in the greatest distress. Seeing that r face was very h bruised, he believed her story and :ace her an order. She had been previously asked if she tad any money, and she answered in the negative. She ~.,d gone from the police-station only a few steps be i•-re . b e was seen to enter a public-house, and there she olled for some gin. She was then brought back to the i.dice.station, and when she was searched 9d. in coppers, me boxes and a piece of amp were found on her. Mr. Cooke—Do you search everyone that applies for an ,rder! 11'itness—No, unless we have ' , widens that they have meney.and then all are *earshot. Mr:Cooke--Then you do not ... search everyone? Witness—No. The defendant said that she wan never asked whether Ile had .my money, and was not aware that she was doing wrong. If she had had more money she should not have gene to the police for an order. Inspector Grey said that the 9d. found on her would have been sufficient to have got her food and a bed. Mr. Cooke asked under what act of parliament the police had power te act as assist uat•relieving officers? Inspector Grey said, the Houseles" Poor Act and a minute from the Pax- law Board. For acting in the way be bad the guardians had applied to the commissioners who had sanctioned the proceedings. Mr. Cooke told the defendant that if she went to the police•atation to applyfor an order for adruiasion to a casual Irani she must disclose all the property she had. The defendant said that she was not aware of that fact. Mr. Cooke having referred to the acts of parliament said the words used in the act were, " Workhousejrelieving officer, and relieving-overseer." The defendant, he again said, should have disclosed all her property to the polka when she applied for the order. She would now be dis charged. The defendant then left the court. WORSHIP-STREET. CROSS CASE Or ASSAULT AND DESIMICM. Rebut Baylis, a powerful man, described as a master sawyer, was brought up on a warrant by Devitt, of the N division, charged with v i o l en tly assaulting Eliza Baylis, his wife. The novelty in this case was that of defendant having succeeded in evading capture under authority of the pro rem mentioned since the early part of April, DISA, on the 2nd of which month, according to the sworn testimony of the wife, he struck her with his fist in the face, thereby blacking both eyes frightfully, refused her admission to his bed, and kept her without firing. Sbe obtaine.l a summons against him a few days afterwards, but when he should have appeared to answer it he decamped from home, No. 4, Ivy Cottages, Hoxton, and she had not seen him since that morning, when he coolly walked in, sat down, said th a t h e intended to remain, as it was his place, and used most dreadful language. He was, at the time of the assault in question under recognizance, to keep the peace towards her. Devitt said that he had been after this man to serve the warrant for nearly a twelvemonth, but could not light on him, and believed that he in the interim had left the country. The wife was a respectable woman, andhaving sent word that he had at last returned home, witness went and took him there. Defendant 4%1 not deny the desertion, but he did the assault. The wife could not produce any witnesses of it, as she wu locked in the room by him at the time. The magistrate remarked that persons must not be al lowed to escape jaatioe by running away, and defendant was finally ordered to find two sureties in 10/. each for four months, and enter into his own for r 2 months to keep the peace. Defendant was locked up in default. SOUTHWARK. • POLICE-CONRTABLZ CHARGED WITH RELAYING s _ _ LAWS ARM. Arahamt Denim'', an officer of the M division, was, Isy direction m aliciously Commissioners of Police charged with wilfully and breaking the left' arm of Peter Noble, • lad about 14 years of age. The latter, who had surgical bandages on his arm, said be lived with his mother at 13, Landsdowne-place, Kent street, and on Monday night last be was playing with other boys in Kent-street, when t defendant ran after them, and threatened to lock the he m up unless they went away. They played at another part of the same street shortly afterwards, when the defendant ran after them again, seized bold of witness, knocked him down, and broke his left arm. He was picked up and conveyed to Guy's Hospital, where his arm was set. In answer to the magistrate, he said he was playing with seven other boys, named " Chinaman," M'Cotuior, Howden, Walton, and three others, whose names he forgot. None of them tumbled on him in their endeavour to get away from the constable. In cross-examination by defendant's solicitor he said that he had never been convicted, but be believed the others had been punished for stealing things from trades men's shops in the street. He, however, could not swear to that. He was positive that the defendant wilfully pushed him down and caused his arm to be broken. The thatcherter of the lad was called, and on being @worn mid boy had not left her home many minutes before he was brought hack with his arm broken. She saw the constable, and asked him how he could be so brutal as to do it, when he laughed at her, and behaved rudely to her. After she had taken her boy to the hospital, she cotn plrinel of defendant), conduct to the commissioners, and they ordered the present proceedings to be taken. She had seen the constable and some of his friends since, and had offered to take money to make it up, but they refused to give it her. For the defence it was urged that a number of young thieves congregated nightly in Kent-street, and under the pretence of playing plundered the tradesmen to a consi derable extent, and the defendant being an old and effi cient officer was placed on special duty to keep them away. He wa s running after the lads when th e b o y accidentally fell down and broke his arm. Evidence was given to that effect, and the charge was dismissed. ESCAPE OF A PRISONP.R FROM YORE CASTLE.- A daring escape was effected on Saturday morning by • Prisoner from York Castle. The washhouse adjoining the wornen's prison was being newly-arranged and slated, and some of the prisoners in the nestle were employed to do the work. Two of the prisoners on the above morning were engaged in slating, and they commenced work at half past 6 o'clock. One of them, Robert M'Caskey, was a misdemeanant, and he had been received at the castle a few months ago from Coldbath-fields prison, London. He hail been sentenced to two years' imprisonment, and had 10 months to serve. The roof of the rashhouse extends to the boundary wall, which is erected on an embankment adjoining the river Foss, and • short ladder had been tied with a rope to the ridge of the roof to prevent accidents. About 7 o'clock M'Citaky sent his companion down for some nails. The application for the nails was made to the turnkey who had charge of the men and he went into the building for the nail s , th us losing sight of 11'Caskey. While he was getting the nails he noticed that the hammering on the roof had ceased, and his suspicions being excited, he went to look for M'Caskey, but missed him. A search was instituted, and it wee discovered that by the aid of the ladder and the mp• which had been used to fasten it on the roof he had dropped from the wall, which is no great height at that place, on the embankment, about 50 yards from Castle-mills-bridge. It was ascertained that the pri soner had proceeded at a very quick pace in the direction of the village of Heslington, and immediate steps were taken for his capture.

The annual meeting of the proprietors was held at I o'clock, at the offices, 4, Thre►dneedle-stmt ; Mr. CHILDERA, M.P., in the chair : _ The following report and balance-sheet were presented : "The directors now beg to submit to the proprietors the accompanying statements showing the position of the bank at the doe of the financial year, ending the 15th Oct., 1866. In addition to the drought, which as the proprietors are already aware had in preceding years seriously affected the pastoral and agricultural interests of the Australian colonies, the bank has had during the year to contend with the effects of the crisis of last May, which extended to all the colonies, and up to the d a t e o f last advice.' had not entirely ceased. Under these circumstances, the director. have felt it incumbent upon them to set aside out of the profits of the year a larger provision than usual to meet any losses that may arise, and on this occasion to diminish the former rate of dividend, though only to the extent off per cent. for the half-year. Having, however, made this exceptional provision they are glad to be able to add that the general business is satisfactory, and that they have every confidence in the prosperity and progress of the bank. The directors have only further to announce that they have declared a dividend payable on the 16th of April next, at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, and a bonus at the rate of 6j per cent. per annum, both free of income-tax, being together at the rate of 12j per cent. per , annum, or 2/. 19s. per share for the half-year.

Id." The CHAIRMAN in mating the adoption of the report and accounts, observed that there had been an increase in the business of the bank during the last year ; and entered into • comparison in support of this state ment. There was • diminution off per cent in the present dividend as compared with that declared at the last half-yearly general meeting ; while the reduction in the year was 1$ per cent. There was an increase in the amount of gold exported within the year to the extent of about 400,000 f. in value. In four of the colonies, namely, New South Wales Queens. land, New Zealand, and Tasm an i a , • system of stamp duties had unfortunately been introduced, and this hail affected the position of Australian banks. Attempts had been made to introduce a note circulation in some of the colonies, and there was • tendency on the part of one colony after another to proceed in that direction. As regarded the dividend, the report referred to the drought as one cause, and to the financial crisis as another. The crisis of lad year extended to all the colonies with which they were connected, but not to all in the same degree. Happily it did not affect Victoria so much as some other oolomes ; but in New South Wales it exceeded anything of the kind that had occurred before during the last 20 years. In a year of such an exceptional character, it became the directors to be unusually prudent, and • sufficient sum bad there forebeen set aaideto meetalloontingencies—a oourse which he hoped would meet with the approval of the meeting. (Hear, bear.) The capital raised to commence operations in New Zealand could not but have for a time the effect of watering, to use a common expression, the dividend. The question arose whether they should be contented per manently with a dividend of 12j per cent., or go back to 14. It would be most imprudent in him to indulge in a pre diction on that subject, but he could assure the meeting that the provision which had been made for bad debts was purely exceptional. (Cheers.) Mr. W. BOTLY expressed his approval of the policy of the directors, and inquired whether the sy s te m of re ceiving money for long periods on deposit had answered. Mr. Serjeant GANSU; M.P., was dissatisfied with the reduction of dividend, especially when they had only 14 per cent. previously, while some English banks were mak ing 25 per cent. The dearness of money ought to have increased the dividend. Mr. Joim Josact thought the directors deserved com mendation for the prudent course they had pursued. ASH RCHOLDIR wished to know whetherthe reduction of the dividend arose from a diminution of business or from losses incurred. After some further dbousaion, The CHAIILMAN, in reply, said the amount held on deposit was between 300,0001. and 400,0001., and the arrangement bad worked perfectly well. As to the dividend he believed that the English hanks had declared • lower rather than • higher dividend in the last ear, and it should be re collected that inere business was accompanied by increased risks. Upon the facts ascertained they might have declared the usual dividend, but, as he had before intimated, the board considered it best, under the circumstances, to make a reserve for contingencies. The report was adopted unanimously, and a dividend at the rate of 12i per coat. per annum was declared ; after which the proceedings tern inated in the usual manner. vi,oos Koool 10,000 l 00.000 so,ooo{ ii:iiii 10,000 : 1101,600 0,000 e,OOO 100,000 MOON: $3,000 17,000 1 MOO 11,0001 111,000 110,00 D 111.140.

Baring Brothres and Co., who have at the name time put forward the usual particulars showing the progress of the sinking fund. Messrs. Rothschild have advertised the dividends due the Ist April on the Brazilian loans. With reference to the receipts and crop of American cotton, the following is from the circular of Messrs. Neill Brothers and Co., dated New York, the 26th ult. : Our last circular showed • rapid falling ol• in receipts for two weeks at nearly all points ; but we observed that it would be absurd to expect the same rate of dareue to continue, and that it would be unsafe to rely upon the then indications •` till it should be found that the receipts do not spring up again after the manner of last year." They hays already taken such a spring this week, but not to any greater extent than was indeed required to justify so full an estimate as that of 11 to 2 millions of bales. It a by our New Orleans report, that the very small re ceipts of the previous week partly consequent u n wet weather ; but taking the present week's figures, 650 I the falling off from 83,000 (those of the week ending lit instant) is at the rate of 6,000 bales per week. Should there, however, be a steady decrease of 5,000 bales per week from the present date till the close, the aggregate crop would be about 1,700,000 bales. Whereas, should the reduction be at the rate of 4,000 per week, the aggregate would be about 1,800,000 bales, and should the falling off be only at the rate of 3,000 per week at all ports, the aggregate would reach 1,970,000 bales.

THE AHHAULT ON AN OXFORD UNDERGRADITATE.— The magistrates of the Bullingdon Petty Sessions, the Warden of Merton College, the President of St. John's College, and Mr. G. G. Maitland, were on Saturday occu pied nearly five hours in investigating two charges of assault against Charles Randall, foreman to Mr. R. Rip. pington, of Marston, near Oxford. Both charges arose from what took place on the 2nd inst., during what is termed • " paper hunt," or steeplechase, in which the person who drops the paper is allowed • certain start and to cross the fields as he likes, while those in the hunt start together, and by means of the paper track him. He who reaches the goal first wins. The first ease was for as saulting Mr. J. B. Cookson, of Magdalen Hall, for throw. icy[ • Prong at him while he was riding over the fields of the prisoner's master. It appftred from the evi dence of the prosecutor, which was fully confirmed by two other members of the University, that while he was riding at full speed across • field, Randall, who was about 12 yards from him, threw the fork, which went within three yards of the tail of his hone. Mr. Mallam, who de fended the prisoner, stated that according to his instruc tions the prisoner stumbled and the prong went from his hand accidentally. This was denied most positively by the three witnesses, who declared that the prong was thrown purposely. Mr. Cookson admitted that there were 10 or 12 persons riding over the fields without permission from the farmers. The court was cleared, and after some little con sideration Randall was fined 31., and lls. costs, with the alternative of six weeks' hard labour. The prisoner was then charged with unlawfully wounding Mr. Robert Stains, commoner of Oriel College, by stabbing him pith • hayfork. Mr. Symonds, surgeon, said that the prosecutor was not able to attend. Under the most favourable cir cumstances he would not be able to leave his lodgings for six or seven weeks ; the wound was a very severe one, the ' bone was broken, the muscles were very much inj ured, and he considered that Mr. Stains was not oat of danger. Mr. Manama called four witnesses to prove that the wound was inflicted by accident. He applied for bail, but the magistrates refused. The prisoner was again remanded for a week. The Chinese sugar-cane has been successfully cultivated in Texas, in the United States. The railroads in America employ 200,000 men, and 1,000,000 men, women, and children wholly depend on those railroads for support.

The number of beasts on offer to-day is not quite so large as on Monday last ; trade is, however, slow, and it is difficult to realise higher prices. In a few instance of choicest qualities our top quotation is rather exceeded. The supply of sheep is also smaller, and choicest kinds are rather dearer ; yet trade is very dull, and some inferior qualities remain unsold. Good calves are still scarce and dearer. Our foreign supply consists of 1,670 beasts, 5,910 sheep, 115 calves, and dO pigs. Front Scotland there are 175 beast* ; Ireland, 65 ; Norfolk and Suffolk, 1,830; and 540 from the northern and midland counties. Per stone of Ma a4.a d. Per stone of Mtn. ad.a d.

A letter from Florence, of the 12th, 'Jaya : "About ten day 4 ago, Countess Tolstoi, lady of honour, staying with the Grand Duchess of Russia at the Quarto Villa, had the misfortune to get • small piece of chicken bone stuck in her throat. Yet the accident seems not to have given much alarm at first. It was spoken of, indeed. at Madame Ricci's ball, as the reason why the imperial ladies were not present ; but then on Wednesday last the grand duchess gave a splendid ball herself, so that all thought the countess must be, if not quite well, yet nut so as to leave cause for any uneasiness on her account. Yet now the society of Florence is startled by the melan choly news that the poor countess has succumlief to the effects of that sad accident." An additional submarine cable is about to be laid down between Hurst Castle end the Isle of Wight. CURRICNT PRICLS. Oteusii. Per Qr. e. l Mom L et red old i';-2 to -68 ---„ .
