THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. The attendauce wag thin yesterday, as might have been expected, but a very considerable amount of business was done, and at rapidly advancing prime. Goods appeared to be going out all day, but they must have come in as rapidly, for the stalls were always full. There have been some lucky specu lators. Oue person who bought a well-known Danish picture for 35/. was yesterday offered SOX for his bargain. The Japanese curiosities remain intact, as also Mr. Hewitt's beautiful and rare Chinese collection, which being for sale excites an im mensity of interest and competition. At the stand of Messrs. Negretti and Zambra, an object has just been added, of which our whole agricultural interest will at once appreciate the value. It is a simple and cheap barometrical apparatus, iu which the approach of wind or rain is indicated with equal accuracy. The old barometer falls for either, and may thus deceive the farmer as to the sort of weather for which he must prepare, but in this instrument, in which the powers of the barometer and hygrometer are combined, the distinction is made with extraordinary accuracy. The introduc tion of so interesting and important a novelty at this late period of the season, affords a strong proof of the general belief of the exhibitors in the com mercial value of the supplementary fortnight. The number of visitors at the Exhibition yesterday was 6,000. CNITERSITY INTELLIGENCE. FOREIGN APPOIFTNENTEI. CAMBRIDGE, Nov. 6. The Vice-Chancellor has informed th — e members of the Senate that he has received the command of his Grace the Duke of Devonshire, the Chancellor of the University, to ascertain whether there are any gentlemen in Cambridge who would desire to compete for the appoint smote mentioned in the subjoined communication which has been acklresied to his grace by Earl Russell : • 'Foreign-office, October 27, 1862. "My Lord Duke,—l have the honour to acquaint you that I propose to nominate a certain number of candidates to compete before the Civil Service Commissioners for the appointment of student interpreters in China or Siam, and I dull have great pleasure in including in the list of candi dates the name of any one gentleman of the university over which you preside, whom your Grace or the Vice-Chancellor may recommend for that purpose, and whose age may be within the limits for this time prescribed, of between 18 years complete and 24 years complete. The object for which such appointments are made is, that the persons on whom they are conferred should, in the first place, devote themselves to the study of the Chinese or Siamese lan guage, as the case may be, and in the next place should qualify themselves generally for the public service in China or Siam, so that her Majesty's government may always have at their disposal persons competent to discharge the duties intrusted to her Majesty's coosular officers in those coun tries. The salary which is assigned to the office of student interpreter in either country is at the rate of 9001. ayes:, to commence from the date of departure from this country, the passage from England to the place of destination being moreover provided at the pub lic expense. I enclose • statement of the subjects in re gard to which the relative capacity of the candidates will be tested by the examination, and I would add that as the emits' of China and of Siam are considered to be more or less trying to English constitutions, the probability that the health of candidates will be such as to bear a residence in those climates will be taken into consideration by the Civil Service Commissioners. I have further to observe that eandidates must clearly understand that it they succeed in obtaining one of the vacant appointments, of which as regards China there are four, MI as regards Siam two to be filled up ou the present occasion, their re tention in the public service and their future advancement ia it will depend entirely on the ability which they may show after their arrival at their destination, and on their general steadiness and good conduct. I propose to leave to the successful candidates in rotation to elect whether they will take one of the appointments in China or one of those in Siam." I have only to add that if you should be disposed to avail yourself of my present offer,l should he glad to be made acquainted as soon as possible with tho name of your candi date, as I should wish that the examination should take place on the 10th of December.—l have the honour to be, my Lord Duke, your Grace's most °bailout, humble ser •ant, " Rtsseu." The Vice-Chancellor requests that the names of them) gentleman who may wish to become candidates may be for warded to him by the tutors of their respective colleges at their earliest convenience. • The following in the statement here referred to : Heads of examination before the Civil Service Commissioners et candidates for student interpretersbipe in China, as ap proved by Lord John Russell, March 1861 : General intel ligence, prc"..cia, ortho gra phy, handwriting, first four rules of arithmetic, first four books of `• Euclid," translation from Latin into English, translation from French into Eng lish, general knowledge of modem geography.

DISTRESS or LANCASEURL—Io a coevocation holden at two o'clock, the decree authorising the Vice-Chancellor to pay the sum of 1,0001. from the university cheat towards a relief of the distress in Lancashire, in four operate instalmeata (monthly) of 2304 each, met with the numi nous approval of the hoses. COLLISION ON THR LONDOI AND BRIGHTON AND Sorrli-EASTIRN RAILwAY.—A collision occurred yester day morning on the line used by the South-Eastern, and Loa don, Brighton, and South Coast Railway Company, betty; ea two passenger trains going in the same direction. It ap praise, from reliable information. that the tidal train of the South -Eastern Company was timed to leave London at 7.53, and that there is • train of the London sod Brighton Comeau , / timed to leave at eight. Although there only an interval of live minutes between the two trains, no inconvenience wider ordinary circumstances would arise from that fact. Yesterday morning, however,a dense fog prevailed, and the lines were in such a slippery state, that when the 7.55 train arrived at the incline, just beyond liew-cross, it "slid," and could only with great difficulty as eeod. The eight o'clock train of course was also affected, so far as its speed was concerned. by the state of the line ; but it was proceeding at a slower rate than it would otherwise have leeo, having received a caution at the extra signal erected on the bank that there was a train immediately before it. The 7.55 train, however, was labouring hard, when, notwithstanding these precautions, the eight o'clock one overtook it, and, owing to the fog, was too near to stop entirely before running into it. The collision, however, was not a severs one, and the passengers were more friuht rated than Burt, and, so far as we can learn, with two comp lions they proceeded to the end of their journey ; some shaken, some a little scratched or bruised. Those who did sot go on were able to return to London and proceed to their hotels or homes, and it is believed that not a single serious injury was sustained, and the ordinary traffic was sot interfered with. In consequence of the many inquiries at the office of the Accidental Death Insurance Company as to the condition of the chief medical officer, Mr. Alfred Botesiorbo was known to be in oue of the trains to which the accident happened, we are requested to state that that gen tleman was so slightly injured as to be able to attend to the ether sufferers. Some members of Mr. Sinee's family and other friends who were with him did not escape without some severe cuts and cootosioos. THE MIDDLE LEVEL COMMISAION.—A meeting of the Middle Level CoMmissioners was held yesterday, at the George Hotel, Chatter* in the Isle of Ely, at which there was the fullest attendance that wee ever remembered in connection with the Middle Level. Mr. Edward Fellowes. M.P., of Ramsey Abbey, wait elected chairman of the com mission for the ensuing year. The reports of the imioda tion committee and the engineer having been read, the clubman called the attention of the meeting to the Deco, inky that existed for them now to appoint a new boanl, wider the act of lent session. As the hoard could only con sist of fifteen members, it was advisable thatthereshoukl be • fair division of the Level, so that all pert. of the county should he fairly reprr euted. The Middle Level contained 113,125 acres, and thertfore, there would he one member of the board to every 7,000 acres, soil it was therefore proposed to divide the level into six divisions, with representatives for each division according to the acreage. The following gen tlemen were elected members of the first board :—Mesens. Fellows, Heathoote, Wells, M. Lawrence, D. Martin, Major Fryer, C. Tebbutt, A. Ruston. C. Stophemon, J. Culledge, J. Brown. T. Richards, C. Townley, H. Wooll, and C. Wooll. It was agreed that powers be token for borrowing on mortgage, at 1i per oent. interest, the sum of 52,0001., under the provision of their act of 1844. The chairman expressed • hope that they would be able to do without going to parliament for powers to raise more moneys daring the next tension.

EQUITY COIJETS.—Nov. 6. (Wore Via-Clumoollor Sir W. P. Wood.) IctentitllLeir v. 11083.—A JURY IN CRANCKET. This case came on upon the trial of certain isaues before a jury summoned, under the recent act of parliament, be fore the Court of Chancery. Whatever variation, of opinion may be formed ea to the policy of this alteration in the law, none whatever can exist as to the total inadequacy of the buildings of the Court of Chancery to meet the new demand upon their space. The jury are penned in a box, whilst the public have the utmost facility of access ; the witnesses stand in the midst of, and are hardly to be dis tinguished from the general crowd of on-lookers ; and the entire building, from its smallness, inefficiency of ventilation, and the utter incompetency of the ushers under whose con trol it is, is converted into such a den of foul smells that the worst rookery in London might be proud of. To add to their other discomforts, the unfortunate witnesses were ordered out of court, and, no place being provided for them, had to wander about Lincoln's.ino, in the open air, in the fog and rain of the last two days. But the catalogue of miseries with which this great sod enlightened nation surrounds the administration of justice does not end here. Yesterday, during a portion of the day the fog rendered the court as dark as night, and although the learned judge was surrounded with the halo of four mould candles, the rest of the court was left in almost total darkness. With reference to this, The Vice-Clmocallor, addressing the jury, said—l am afraid, gentlemen, no provision whatever is made for giving you any light. Neither is there any place to which, if you End it necessary, you can retire. This court was erected 20 years ■go as a temporary place, according to what was then thought necessary. It is now totally unprovided with nearly everything that is requisite in a court of justice. The questions in dispute in the case with respect to which the opinion of a jury was taken were these. First, whether a house formerly standing ou the site of the present Water man's Arms had the enjoyment of light and air through windows situate on the east and south side. Second, whether, upon the rebuilding of the present Waterman's Arms, the old boundaries were adhered to ; and third, whether in the rebuilding of the present Waterman's Arms the position of the old windows were substantially adhered to. These questions were submitted to the jury in order to aid in the determination of the suit, and to prevent a threatened interference with the light and air of the Waterman's Arms by the erection of a lofty warehouse im mediately in the rear. Unless the windows sought to be protected could be made out to be "ancient light.," that is, to have existed for 20 years in the state in which they now are, this protection could not be given, and for the de termination of the question whether or not they were " ancient," these issues were directed. Mr. Itch addressed the jury for the plaintiff (with him were Mr. J. J. Powell and Mr. Eddie) ; Mr. M. Chambers was for the defendant, Mr. Giffard and Mr. Welder were with him. The Vice•Chaocellor summed up, and The jury retired into a neighbouring and erapy court to consider their verdict. At half.past seven o'clock they re. turned, and found on the first issue the plaintiffs were entitled to light and air through certain windows, viz., the cellar window, the *cutlery window, and the loft window, also three windows looking south. On the second issue that the ancient boundary lines of the old building east and south were not departed from. On the third that the three window, facing the east in the new buildings are not in creased in size, but that the scullery and loft windows are DOW more to the south than they were in the old building. Mr. Bovill now moved for a rule for a new trial, and stated that there was great confusion and hubbub at the vestry, and that it was extremely likely, even if a poll bad been demanded, that the vicar, who was in the c h air, never heard the demaod. The learned judge, however, simply left to the jury thequestion whether a poll had hems demanded, and declined to ask them whether the vicar beard the demand. This, it was contended, amounted to misdirection ; and it was further submitted that th: a ltht of evidence showed that there had been no such dm Mule granted. Mr. Wontner asked the witness whether the defendant had not stated something in reference to his having obtained other and better work, and that this was the reason why he had not completed that which he had undertaken for their firm ? Mr. Homan replied that the defendant had stated that he had obtained all he required from Messrs. Browning and Co., and be bad been engaged on some work that paid him better. _ The Lord Mayor asked the defendant what answer he had to make to the complaint? He replied that he did not think be was boned to stop, as he had given notice thet he was about to leave the aer• vice of the complainants. The foreman denied that any notice had been given by the defendant. Mr. Goodman (the chief clerk) said that if he had, it would not make any difference. The work he had under tAken to perform woe piece-work, and when he made the contract he was bound to carry it out. The Lord Mayor, addressing the defendant, mid it ap peared to him that this was the very CYO that was contain plated by the act of parliament. It was quite clear that he had undertaken to perform • certain duty, and thst after his employers had kindly paid him the money to which he was entitled, in advance, sod other money besides, he bad failed altogether in performing his contract, and hod left the service and evened himself upon other, and which he, no doubt, considered more profitable, work. Such pro ceedings as these were calculated to cause very great annoyance and inconvenience to employers, and it was very necessary that the law should be out in force for their protection. The defendant was liable to be imprisoned for three months, but he should not go to the full extent of the law on the present occa sion, and should only sentence him to be imprisoned for one month ; and be hoped that this sentence would cope. rate as a warning to others in his position, and restrain them from the commission of • similar offence. Henry Williams, a respectably-dressed man, described as an engraver, residing at 8.5„ St. Paul's-rood , Kennington, was placed at the bar before the Lord Mayor and Mr. Alder man Hal., who were sitting in petty session, to undergo a preliminary examination upon a charge of forging and en graving copper plates representing portions of Bank of England notes. . . . . Freshfield, the solicitor to the Bank, who prosecuted, said his lordship would no doubt recollect that one of the prisoners who were examined on the previous day was the man who printed the notes forged on the Bank of England. The prisoner Williams then before him was the engraver of the plates from which the notes were printed. He was only apprehended that morning, and the officers were at that moment, he believed, engaged in searching his house. He proposed to adopt a course, which, as Mr. Alderman Hale had not beard this case, would relieve that gentleman from giving his attention to a tedious case, and which per haps would be beneficial to the prisoner himself, by giving him a little time to consider what course be had best pursue. He should, with hie lordship's sanction, take the evidence of the officer, and ask that the prisoner might be re • mended until Friday and be brought up with the other prisoners. Sergeant Webb said he apprehended the prisoner that morning, with the assistance of Inspector Silcock, at his own house in St. Paul's-road, upon a charge of engraving copper plates for forging bank notes. The officers were,still 1 1 examining the prisoner's house, and he believed that, from information he had in hie possession, he should be able to bring forward evidence that would sa tisfy his lordship of hisguilt.. . . . His lordship said, under those circumstances, he should remand the prisoner until Friday. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ichad Barry,;ged before Mr. Knox with breaking cod entering a wine calla, at the Marquia of Granby, 28, South Audley.street, and drinking and wasting a quantity of brandy and beer, of the value of about 3/., the property of Mr. John Henry Leisure, the landlord, and also with assaulting Henry Smith, 147 C. Mr. Lefevre said the prisoner was employed in his house with another man to repair a drain near his wine cellar. About six in the evening be (Mr. Lefevre) wen . .; down to see what the men were about, when he saw the prisoner near the cellar-door in a state of mad intoxication, :and on examining the place he found that the cellar-door had been opened by the staple being drawn from the post. On making an examination of the cellar he found that two quart bottles of ale had been opened, and the tap of the brandy cask had not been turned off, nod the floor of the cellar was saturated with brandy, a large quantity having run over the place. Some wine casks had also bean inter :ered with. On getting the prisoner to the bar he became very abusive, and attempted to strike him. He then sent for a constable and gave the prisoner in charge. Prisoner said that he bad had some drink, but that it was given to him by Mrs. Lefevre. Mr. Lefevre said that was in the morning. Smith, 147 C, said that on taking the prisoner into cus tody he became very violent, and struck him two or three times, and but for the interference of two soldiers, who were knocked down by the prisoner, he would have re ceived serious injury. In answer to Mr. Knox, Mr. Lefevre said that the other man appeared to have been drinking. Mr. Hoot —the prisoner having denied entering the cellar —said he could not understand why the other man was not present, either as a witness or in the dock, and remanded the prisoner for a week, that further inquiries might be made ; consenting, however, to take two bail in 151. for the prisoner's re-appearance. discredit, not having been mails until after the prisoner wu some time in custody. Mr. Ingham observed that the question was whether there was any fresh evidence that would carry the rose any further. On the former occasion of the partite appearing before him it was with the greatest reluctance that he con sented to remand the accused, as there was no reliable evi dence to support the prosecution; it was only upon the earnest entreaty of the prosecutor's attorney that he called upon the prisoner to eater into hie own recognizance' to ap pear again. Until be heard whether there was soy new es Wanes which would materially strengthen the use be thought it would be neaten to proceed. Mr. Hutchinson expressed au earnest desire to cross examine the prosecutor. An the learned counsel had made him out something approaching to an angel, and had cast the imputation upon the prisoner of having fixed a false charge upon him, it was only just to the accused, who was brought before the public in such colours, that he should have an opportunity of exculpating himself, and showing whether the prosecutor was ►t all to be relied upon—whether he was credible on his oath. Mr. Ingham observed that he took the prosecutor's own statement of his conduct on the night in question, and it satisfied him that he was not in command of his reason at the time. He was exceedingly intoxicated, so far as not to know what he was doing, and he produced ou the previous examination no confirmatory evidence ; and the charge of felony under those circumstances consequently fell to the ground at once. Prosecutor was not sufficiently competent to give a reliable account of what bad occurred. On the previous examination there were other matters introduced, which he could not exclude, because they were part of the conduct of the prosecutor. He (Mr. Ingham) expressed no opinion on the defence of the prisoner, but confined himself to the prosecutor's own account of the transaction. The other matter was irrelevant, as it might be termed, to this inquiry ; although he could not strictly call it irrele vant, as it was the prisoner's defence, and the prosecutor's conduct on the night in question was an important matter for investigation. He did not mean to go into any charge but that of felony ; if any other charge were to be preferred it moat be brought before him as a distinct matter, in the ordinary way. He repeated his wish to know whether there was say confirmation of the prosecutor's statement; if there was not strong confirmation, the charge of felony must fall to the ground. Mr. Sleigh was anxious that the magistrate should hear what evidence he had in corroboration and in further sup port of the charge. Mr. Hutchinson pressed to be permitted to cuss-examine the prosecutor. Mr. Sleigh observed that Mr. Hutchioson might cross- examine his client if he pleased ; he would be found per fectly prepared to answer. Mr. Ingham said be ought to have dismissed the charge on the previous examination, and repeated that unless strongly confirmed, it was useless to go on with the prose cutioe. Mr. Hutchinson said that if the charge were now dis missed, it was only natural, unless something occurred to shake their belief, that the public would think the prisoner bad committed the offence, but that the legal evidence was not sufficient to send him before • jury. He wished to dis abuse the public mind in that respect, and show prosecutor unworthy of credit. Mr. Bury Hutchinson, having obtained permission, then proceeded to cross-examine the prosecutor. The cross examination was a very searching one, but nothing which requires special notice was elicited. After witnesses had been examined, Mr. Ingham said that in his opinion the confirmation was not sufficient, and the prisoner was therefore discharged. THAMES. William Banks, a notorious ruffian and thief, well known to the police, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with stabbing a young woman named Margaret Cullen. The complainant., who belongs to the class termed unfortunate, said she was living at No. 2, Palmer's folly, and was in Ratcliff-bighway, • abort &starer from her own house, walking with • young man, a sailor, when the prisoner came behind her and stabbed her twice on the shoulder. She screamed aloud for help and called out "Murder." She was taken to the station-house, whale her wounds were dressed, and was afterwards sent to the London Hospital. In answer to questions by Mr. Self., the witness said I am sure the prisoner is the man. I have known him • long while. William Walker, a police-constable, 488 K, said that he found the prisoner in the Crown public-house about fifteen or twenty minutes after the woman was stabbed. The pri soner said be knew nothing of the affair whatever. The prisoner—Nor more do I. I never did it. The woman was recalled. She was sure the prisoner was the man who stabbed her. Walker produced • knife, which he said • shopkeeper named Barnett picked up directly after the woman was stabbed, and close to the spot where the transaction took place. The prisoner was a thief who had not long been out of gaol, where he had been six months for stealing • watch. Mr. Selfe asked the woman Cullen if the sailor who was with her when she was stabbed could attend the court, and how long he intended to remain on shore. The witness replied that the sailor would appear as a witness, and that be would be OD @bore another week. A certificate from the house surgeon of the London Hos pital was put in, and it stated that the woman, Margaret Cullen. had received two severe punctured wounds on the shoulder. Mr. Selfe remanded the prisoner, and directed Walker to procure the attendance of other witnesses. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.—Nov. S. Sittings in Banco.—(Before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn, and Justices Wightman, Blackburn, and Mellor.) DIMSDALE r. THE LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST RAILWAY. Mr. Bovill, Q.C., said this was an action tried before the Lord Chief Justice at the last Guildhall sittings, when the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 40s. He moved to set the verdict aside and enter it for the defen &iota, pursuant to leave reserved. The action was for the non-delivery of • portmanteau and its contents. The plain tiff's wife had been staying at Brighton, and went to the Brighton station with her luggage, and took a third class ticket for London. A porter, seeing a dog in her muff, insisted on her paying the carriage, but she was unable to do so, having no small change in her purse, and as the train was about to start the porter paid the 2s. 2d., and detained the portmanteau in pledge for the amount, saying it would be sent on as a parcel by the next train. That was done, and some days after the plaintiff sent &Ltd with his employer', card lon which the plaintiff said he wrote his name in pencil, but this was denied by the company) for the portmanteau; but somehow or other it could nat be found ; the company alleging that the application was in the name of Howard and not Dimadale, which was denied by the plaintiff. However, some days after wards the company sent the portmanteau to the plaintiff, with lid. delivery to pay, which he declined, said it was taken away, and ultimately the company refused to give it up until 3s. lid. was paid, including a charge for ware housing. The plaintiff tendered the 2s. 2d., and as the com pany would not take it he issued a writ for the value of the portniantean and its contents. The Lord Chief Justice doubted if the company had any right to make the extra charge. It was not a parcel for warded by a customer to be left or not fetched in proper time, but &Aloha held in pledge until a lien on them had been paid. Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., said be appeared on the other and complained that the damages were too small. The articles contained in this portmanteau were proved to be worth 25/. As the verdict at present stood it materially affected the costs. Mr. BOT/illsaidthe articles were offered to the plaintiff without any charge after the writ was issued, but be refused to accept them until the trial. The Lord Chief Justice asked Mr. Coleridge if he wished to have a rule absolute for a new trial. Mr. Coleridge said be did not. He only wanted to in crease the amount of damages. Mr. Bevill mid he should like it. (Laughter.) The Lord ChiefJustiee said he thought it was better to let the matter remain as it was. Application refused. BUTCHER V. THE GENERAL STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY. Mr. Hoggins, Q.C., said this was an action tried before the Lord Chief Justice at the last Westminster sittings, when the jury returned a verdict for the defendants. He now moved for a rule for a new trial on the ground that the ver dict was against the evidence. The action was to recover compensation in damages for injuries received through the alleged negligence of the defendants' servants. The plaintiff was a passenger on board one of the defendants' steamboaM from Yarmouth to London. When opposite Woolwich the steamer came into collision with a collier moored in the river, and hence the accident complained of. The Lord Chief Justice said he should have been better pleased if the jury had given the plaintiff small damages, but, under the circumstances, he was not disposed to disturb the verdict. The plaintiff fraudulently withheld, on the trial, that his head had been crushed between two cart wheels about twelve months before, and that at the time of the second accident he had not recovered from the first accident. Mr. Hogging said he mentioned it in the opening. The Lord Chief Justice said he did so but slightly, and said the plaintiff bad recovered from it. Mr. Hogging urged that the medical testimony was in his favour. The and Chief Justice said that at fint be, end be be lieved all in court, thought the plaintiff in giving evidence in the box was shamming ; but when the medical testimony came they were of a different opinion. The jury were staggered when they heard of the first accident on the cross-examination, and the plaintiff bad paid the penalty for fraudulently withholding it from the jury. There was evidence to show that the plaintiff suffered very much from the fint accident, and that be was compensated with 901. There was also evi dence to show that the plaintiff was suffering from that ac cident when he went to Yarmouth, and during the time he was there (though no doubt better), although he said in the box that he was "never jollier" and better than when at Yarmouth. The cbllision was a very slight one, and the pla;ntiff was the only passenger who fell down or had felt any inconvenience from it. He (the learned judge) could understand that to a man in the plaintiff's state it had the effect of aggravating his sufferings, and if he had gone to the jury on that point he had no doubt the jury would have given him some compensation. He bad, however, adopted another course, and must abide by the consequences, COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.—Nov. 6. Sittings in Banco.—(Before Lord Chief Justice Erie, and Justices Williams, Kyles, and Keating.) SIMMONS AND ANOTHER V. HUMBLE AND OTHERS. -CON- TRACT FOR TEL BALE OF HOGS. The plaintiffs were hop-merchants in Mark-lane, and the defendants were in the name line of businessin the Borough. In January, 1862, the defendants made application to the Hop Planters' Company in reference to 176 pockets of hop-, and which, according to the plaintiffs' case, the defendants agreed to buy at 58.. per cwt. Mr. Peacock, the agent for the company, made out a bought note in the name of the defendants. The transaction, however, was not completed, d the present action was brought to recover dam►jw in consequence. The trial took place at Guildhall, when the verdict was for the plaintiffs for 851!. 9s. 6d. Mr. Hawkins now moved for a rule to enter a nonsuit, principally upon the ground that the bought note was not sufficient to constitute a contract within the statute of frauds. Mr. Justice Williams. however, thought that it was ro: necessary to coneider whether the document was sufficient to satisfy the statute. because that question became wholly immaterial in consequence of there being cuff cient evidence of au acceptance within the mewling of the act. Rule refused. WHITE r. STEED AND ANOTHER-THE PLIIIIETZAD CHURCH• This oase again a►me before the oourt to-day.

GLZ3NI2 AND SOMAS.— • CUB MARItIAGE.. Mrs. Frisby of 52, Upper iteikeleyaquare, where the parties bad lodged, and Eliza Galloway, her servant, de posed to various absences of the respondent from her home. She used at first to speak of the co-respondent as "Mr. Gib son ;" butshe afterwards called him "Bowles." In January last the respondent said her mother was ill, _sad that she was going to be with her. She accordingly lilt the house. She did not return till ten the next morning. She had told witness that she was very food of Mr. Bowles, and that he bad been kinder to her than Mr. Glennie, and that she should like to leave her husband, because he would not give her any money. Told her that she had better not, because if she went away on her own account, her husband would not allow her anything at all. Then she said she would leave it to Mr. Bowles. She told witness that she bad had two or three quarrels with her husband about her being out, and that if he scolded her she would leave him. By Mr. Huddleston—She was angry when she said that. Mr. Glennie marked the ahirta which his wife had made for Mr. Bowles. Richard Atcheson, porter at the Palace-chambers, said that in the summer of 1861 Mr. Bowles occupied rooms which had been lent him by a friend. In December he took apartments of his own—a bedroom and a sitting room on the top floor, facing Pall-mall. The two rooms were only separated by • curtain. Mrs. Glennie came with him as soon as be had taken possession. She came backwards and forwards tostmeriatend the furnishing. She came with Mr. Glennie to dine with Mr. Bowl.. on the 2nd of January last. On the 4th she came again at between five and six in the evening. Did not see her go away that night. Went early the following morning to Mr. Bowles's rooms. Attempted to open the door, but found it fast. Had been in the habit of going into the rooms every morning. Mr. Bowles afterwards name to the door, and said he should want breakfast for two. Saw Mn. Glennie come downstairs after breakfast. Saw her give something to the page, and heard her say, " If my husband comes anti as after me, for goodness' sake don't say I have been here all night : it will be the ruin of me." Saw her frequently again in the course of the month. Once she came while Mr. Bowles was out, and asked for tea. Refused to serve anything to a gentleman's rooms in his absence. She came again with Mr. Bowles on the following day. Mr. Bowles sent for witness, and asked him how he dared to refuse his friend tea in his room? In fact be made use of very bad language. Told him that he (witness) would not serve any one in • gentlerran's rooms while that gentleman MIS absent, and expressed surprise that he should have expected him to do so. Mr. Bowles then struck him. Summoned him before the magistrate for the as sault. A few days afterwards Mn. Glennie came and begged witness not to press the charge, as her husband was a man of great respectability, and that she could not answer for the consequences if the matter came out. Told her that he must continue the pro ceeding fur the sake of his standing in the house. She then said she had been connected with Mr. Bowler for three years, and that she could not extricate herself from him. Mr. Bowles was a man of two or three and twenty yaws of age. By Mr. Huddleston—Ultimately withdrew the charge, but did not take money for doing so ; was not, In fact, paid for the summons. Was entreated to withdraw the charge, for the sake of the standing of the house. Charles Gibbs, the page referred to, gave confirmatory evidence._ Mary Nokes, servant at the chambers, also dep osed to the frequent visits of Mrs. Glennie to Mr. Bowlee's chambers. Two or three times witness had had to make the bed after the respondents had been together in the rooms. On the morning of the sth of January witness found a lady's pair of boots in Mr. Bowles's chambers. Afterwards saw Mrs. Glennie sitting at breakfast with him. Overheard Mrs. Glennie talking with Atcbesoa in the hall. Heard her say that Bowles was a nasty dirty blackguard—(e laugh)—but that she had been connected with him for three years. Mr. Huddleston—Where are you living now? Witness—l'm not living anywhere. (Laughter.) I have just left a place, and am now staying with a friend. Mrs. Palmer, of fdortomplace, Pimlico. said that while the parties lodged with her, Mr. Bowles used to call three or four times a week. Mr. Glennie used to leave for the City soon after Bin the morning. Mr. Bowles would some times bring Mm. Glennie home in a carriage. Once witness heard Mr. Glennie ask her what she supposed his friends would think if they met her with Bowles, and she said she did not are for his friends. Mr. Iluddleston addressed the court for the respondent, and announced that he should be able entirely to disprove the evidence of the servant., who had been called from the Palace-chambers. He should also be able to demonstrate that the close intimacy which had existed between the re spondents had had the concurrence and sanction of the petitioner. The Queen's Advocate likewise addressed the court, con tending that the conduct of the husband, whether the re spondents were guilty or not, had been such as wholly to debar him from the remedy the court was established to afford. The court then adjourned. COURT OF BANKRUPTOY.—Noy. 6. (Before Mr. Cmodasioner Holroyd.) IN BE A. T. BILL. The bankrupt was a corn merchant, of Norwich. The ac counts, prepared by Messrs. Hart and Co., show debts of 8,000/. ; assets and property bold as security, about 3,5504 Au adjournment was ordered for additional accounts. (Before Mr. Registrar Harlitt) TN RE MEIKLAM. _ _ _ The bankrupt vrasdeecribed as late of Bayswater-terrace, and of Walthiun.villas, Ilrompton, out of buuioeas. This was the examination sitting. The bankrupt owes to un secured creditors, 10,1(W. ; liabilities on bonds and accom modation bills, 13,600/. • no assets ; expenditure, 2,5 0 01. a-year for the two years p receding the bankruptcy. Amongst the ereditors are a number of tradesmen and others, to whom the bankrupt had given tondo on the strength of some estate in Scotland which he expected to inherit. To 003 creditor, named Latnert, of Albemarle.street, whose claim was 5601., he had given acceptances for 10,0‘0/. and bonds for 10,0001. A creditor at Enfield was returned as holding the mare 'ohm Urea, as security for her keep. A Mr. Isaacson , of Ampthill- square , holds bonds and bills to a large amount, of which the bankrupt alleges that he can obtain no information. He had bought race-boreal from Mr. Isaacson, which had not been valued, neither did he know their names. His father bad died in 1854, leaving Mr. Finlay, M.P., and two other gentlemen trustees of his estates in Scotland sod elsewhere ; but bankrupt was unable to give particulars of how the property was left. Mr. Chidley appeared for the assignees • Mr. E. Reed and Mr. Macrae for creditors ; and Mr. Sargood for the bankrupt. An adjournment was asked on the ground that the accounts had been very recently filed, and were ioaocunite. It was also urged that the bankrupt had not sufficiently described himself, that his expenditure of 2,500/. a year was excessive, and that the large de fi ciency of 25,00 W. ought to be accounted for. Mr. flargood contended that the bankrupt, being anon. trader, ought not to be called on to tile accounts which would not be required from a trader. It was alleged that he was the owner of several race-horses, but out of those he had only got one, the loberitress. Mr. Childley said the assignees wanted an account of what the bankrupt had received on the bonds which he had given to such an enormous amount . Mr. Bargood thought there was no objection to the bankrupt furnishing a cash account for 12 months. An adjournment for two mouths was then ordered. THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOITSE. A case of some importance, as effecting the interests of masters and workmen, wee disposed of on Wednesday by the Lord Mayor. . . A joulleyman optician, named John Walton, was brought up on a warrant, in the custody of Monger, one of the City detective police, charged with having unlawfully neglected to complete certain work that be had engaged to perform, and leaving his employment before his work was finished. Mr. Wootner appeared in support of the charge, sod he briefly addressed his lordship, and stated that it was preferred under the provisions of the act of parliament of the 4th George IV., which enacted that if any workman who had undertaken to perform any work for his employers left their service before such work was completed, be should be liable to three mouths' imprisonment. He appeared on the present occasion on behalf of Messrs. Spence., Brown ing, and Co., opticians, of the Mioories, and they felt that under the circumstance, the duty they owed to themselves, and also to the other workmen in their employ, left tbeni no alternative but to put the law in force, although, at the same time, they had no desire whatever to pros the charge vindictively against the defendant. Christopher Homan, foreman in the servioe of the complainants, was then examined, sod it appeared from his evidence that the defendant had been for several years employed by them, and they were In the habit of giving him certain work to perform. In the beginning of September some quadrants were given to him, and he undertook to complete them for 3Da. He only worked at them for a short time, when he requested that the money might be paid him in advance, and the amount was given to him. After this he requested that a further sum of 10a. should be gpiven to him, mid this was also paid to him, and after this be only come mice or twice to the eatabliehmect, and ou oath omission he wee saddled from drink, and at length he kept away alto/staler, aid his work was left unfinished. The defendant wroth several letters to him promising to complete his work, but he did Dot keep any of the engagements that be sag sad the pre• seat peened* was oeasequestly imaiiteled spirt MARYLEBONE. A yonng man named Frederick Andmees, labourer, WSJ ebarged with stealing a home and cab. valued at 251., the property of Robert Braise, cab proprietor, of 73, Upper Berkeley-strect. Prosecutor deposed that on Wednesday, the prisoner, of whom he had some slight knowledge, came to his stable, end uhe was going out pnsoner jumped on the spring and rode with him (prosecutor) as far as Conduit-street, where the latter got down and requested prisoner to look to the cab whits the went to change his hat. He had no sooner gone in-doors than he heard his cab goon, and on his getting into the Wee:: he uw the prisoner driving at fu'l speed. He called after him, but in vain, got into a cab, and gave chess, and afterwards inquired at all the cab-stands in the metropolis, but could hear nothing of his cab, except that prisoner had, often done the same trick Wore. At length, at two that morning, he noticed hie cab standing by a coffee-stall in Oxford-street, and inside was the prisoner regaling himself with hot coffee and cake. A policeman was called and took the prisoner in charge. Mr. Mansfield said it was a most mischievous trick, to say the least, but as the charge was laid u one of felony, be could not punish him. He recommended a summons agairst the prisoner for driving without a licence, and pro mised a severe punishment if the prisoner were brought before him. WMTMINSTEIL George Morris appeared iticiischer7eof his recognizance', for final examination on the charge of .tailing a gold watch chain and breast pin, from the person of Mr. George Blake Le Heup Rogers. On the 73rd ult., at the time of the previous investigation, the prosecutor was a cornet in the sth Dragoon Guards, and the prisoner a private in the Royal Horse Guards Blue. Both have since ceased to be in the army, Mr. Rogers'. com mission having been cancelled, and the prisoner having been discharged. Mr. Sleigh now appeared to prosecute ; Mr. Bury Hutchin son to defend. . . Mr. Sleigh said be believed he was aware, by his instruc tMns, of what had taken place on the previous examination, and if he rightly understood the charge. it was simply for steal ing from his client, Mr. Rogers, his gold watch chain and breast pin. The young gentleman for whom he had the honour to appear had at the time of the present transaction, which had given him so much pain, just been gazetted to • cornetcy in her Majes ty's ai service. From his age he was barely more than a and had unquestionably conducted himself with much folly and impropriety, which could not for a moment be defended, but he had become so elated at his prospects that be bad lost that command over himself which he should have maintained, and for which, be must repeat, there could be no excuse, unless, iudeed, it were that of his client's extreme vouth. He had gone to Knights bridge, where, it seemed, lie had indulged very freely in drink, and was in so exuberant • state of hilarity that had he met • band of Ethiopian serenaders he (Mr. Sleigh) verily believed he would have fraternised with them. He had unfortunately while not being able to control himself from the excess of joy which pervaded his mind fallen in with the prisoner at the bar, who now stood charged with robbing him, and who in defence to that charge fixed ' an imputation of the most foul and filthy character, totally unmerited by the unfortunate gentleman upon whom it had been malignantly fixed, and whose highly moral and respectable character throughout his life could be attested by Sir Thomas Blake (who was accommodated with a seat on the bench) and his tutor, a clergyman, wbo beet had the opportunity o knowing him, and who could show that he had hitherto enjoyed • reputation for morality and pro priety second to none. In support of the charge of felony, the court had the testimony of the prosecutor that ' he bad his watchguard and pin perfectly safe upon his per son when be got into • cab with the prisoner, that the former must have been stolen while there, and the latter was purloined from his breast by the prancer when he got out of the cab on his return to Knightsbridge. It would be further shown that at the eLation.house, where pi limier was immediately taken upon the charge, Inspector Hidden put some questions to the prosecutor, who detailed the circum stance., and described how the pin bed been taken. That was io the prisoner's presence, and he made no denial of the assertion : he did not deny the fact ; sod it was not until a quarter of an hour or twenty minutes afterwards—and this was a mostrasterial circumstance—that the prisoner said one word affecting the prosecutor's reputation ; it was not until a quarter of an hour or 20 minutes after he found himself in custody for felony at the station, that he attempted to fix thisfoulaod filthy imputation upon him. It would be clearly shown by other testimony than the prosecutor's, that be had his watch chain when he got into the cab with the pri soner, sod that the latter after he bad taken the pin walked to where some loose characters were standing. He (Mr. Sleigh) was aware that his tripod, Mr. Hutchinson, who was on the other side, would urge that the prosecutor was in a state of inebriety, and that his evidence consequently could not be depended upon ; but be (Mr. &sigh) ap prehended that the circumstances were such as to 'educe the magistrate to sand the case before ajar,. What ever might be the magistrate's opinion regarding the felony, there was one thing be was sure would lan his p f.ot sane tioe—that the infamous charge got lap tbe eater omit to be tegersisd with the alaseel empaiiea sad - - - THE MANCHESTER CITY BANS. The third examination of Jonah Andrew, pro prietor and manager of the Manchester City Bank, was held before the magistrates of that place yesterday. Mr. Cobbett addressed the court at considerable length on behalf of the prisoaer. He said the awe for the prosecution had not only certainly failed in its most mate rial point, but it had succeeded in proving the prisoner's innocence. The prosecution were bound to make out that the written directions required by the statute bad been given, and that there had been wrongful conversion by the prisoner of the money paid to him for special purposes. The 371. was paid io on • Tues day, and there was no evidence that be ever knew until the following Thursday, either that the money had been paid in, or that any direction whatever had been given. Either the prisoner had been dealing injudiciously, or spezulatively, or recklessly ; but it was incredible to suppose that he had been dealing with such large sums of money with a fraudu lent intent, and yet that the whole of his fraud should have been limited to so small a sum. The magistrates then retired, and after au absence of 40 minutes, they returned, and Mr. Moss announced that they were unanimous is sending the ow to the asWee.

The week's import is 11,330 bales. WOOL AND WORSTED.—BRADFORD, Nov. 6.—There is a much better tone in the wool market, though not much more business doing. Down wools are most in request. Prices are exceedingly firm. The yarn market it flat. There is little or nothing for export. There is a fair demand for the de Wee trade in luncashire. Prices are without change, The very marked slackening in the demand, coupled with the fact that the greater part of manufac turers have nearly worked up their orders, is beginning to be felt in many quarters, and looms are stopped when- ever such is the case in preference to working to stock from high•priced material. The few who are still plu med of cheap warps and waft also at present evince a greater desire to take orders. Although it does not appear we shall have much American cotton for some tune to come, yet it is already evident that Egyptian and other sorts are being more largely used, wherever it is practicable, and in the absence of a apeculstive demand, our market will be lees subject to the fluctuations witnessed during the pre ceding months. As the season advances, goods, it is thought, will become in greater request, and more extended .opera tioos may be expected. A few foreign buyers bare been at market to-day. Little, however, u being done in plain goods. Prices are firm, with a tendency in some cans, where stocks are accumulating, to a decline. LACE AND 111081ERY.—Norrigogan, Nov. 6.—me reports as to the present state of the local trades are of a somewhat conflicting character. One or two of the largest houses, which have been for several weeks complaining of stagnation. now speak of • more animated demand for silk laces, foundation; Mechlin; and cotton quillinp. We are sorry to observe, however, that the improvement is far from general, and that other extensive establishment. report that business has never been more quiet at this season, or the prospects of the coming winter more dreary. We suppose that the came for such a state of things is still to be found in the condition of the yarn mar ket, cotton being u dear as ever, and spinners just as an yielding. In the lace trade, however, some hosiers speak more hopefully than others of the demand for their staples. One or two report • considerable increase of orders, both for shippi end the home markets ; others that merinos are in • request; while another who has con siderable mum of j udging of the trade es a whole, gives us • more unfavourable upect of h.—Nettie/ikon journal.

The damage done is enormous. Full particulars are not yet ascertained. Although the fire has buret itself out, the rains are stal smoking. The flour mills of Milford were about the most extensive and most celebrated in Ireland. They ire *Ruda just four miles from this town, on the river Barrow, and ennounded by mapifioent scenery. The walls of the buildings were castellated, and the roof wee fiat, covered with terceira, formed of chalk, tar, and send. The mills which have been so unfortunately destroyed were originally established as long since as 1790. The present works were constructed under the superintendence of Mr. William Faorbairn, of Manchester. Some idea may be formed of the extent of those magnificent mills when I mention that from 45,000 to 50,000 sacks of dour were manufactured in them each year. The works were entirely driven by water power, of which there is a plentiful supply from the river Barrow. The chief water wheel, made of iron, cast and plated, is one of the largest in the kingdom, being equal to about one hundred and twenty hone-power.
