AN AGED SUICIDE—A short time ago a gentle man, named Hudson, came to reside at Teigninouth with his family. He was aged about 82 years, and, beyond a temporary depression of spirits which bad recently mani fested itself, nothing remarkable was observed in his general demeanour. On Sunday morning last he declined accompa nying his family to church, stating he would meet them on the lien when prayers were over. Failing to do so, his wife and family west home, and, to their conster nation, found that be bad bonged himself during their absence in his bedroom. Medical Resistance was at once procured, but it was of no avail. In order to account for such a rash proceeding we can only repeat the general rumour, which states that the deceased gentleman, although in very easy circumstances, and blessed with a numerous and interesting progeny, had of late years manifested steer that he should come to poverty.—Plyissouth Journal. THE TUSCARORA.—This Federal sloop of war, which has been lying in Kingetown sines Saturday, sailed at 20 minutes past 11 o'clock precisely on Tuesday night. The statement that the Tuscarora was ordered to leave is incorrect. She received no orders from the authorities to take her departure. It was notified to Captain Craven, on Tuesday, that she would not be permitted to coal. Neither has she sailed with written orders, nor did the commander sign any statement that her engines were out of order. She is expected to return in a few days. It has not been all play with the officers of this frigate since she was built. She has bean cruising here and there for • long time.

Freeman's Journal. FIRE AT HAMPSTEAD.—Yesterday morning • fire was discovered to have broken out in a rick of bay, cootain kg about 80 loads, and standing about five yards from another stack almost as large, on the Mate of Mr. John Halday, a farmer, in Hampstead-lane,- Highgate-road. There was a good supply of water, and the Highgate engine, and afterwards an engine of the London Fire Brigade, were in attendance.

LONDON AND 800TH WESTERN. After the close of the report in yesterday's Emma The 011111MA7 moved a resolution, declaring the divi dend at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, payable on and after the 26th inst. The motion was seconded by Mr. Daiw, and carried. Resolutions were afterwards proposed and passed for the disposal of the further amount of share capital authorised to be crested by the London and South Western Railway (Additional Powers) Act, 1862, and for the convenion of the debenture debt of the company into debenture stock to the amount of 623,6531., making, with the company's present debenture stook of 316,4471., the sum of 1,000,0001., to bear a fixed guaranteed dividend at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, payable half-yearly. Drafts of leases of the Exeter and Crediton, North Devon and Bideford Extemion Railways to the South Western Company, were submitted and sanctioned, as was also an arrangement for the ultimate amalgamation of the two last mentioned undertakings with the South Western Com pany. A resolution confirming the purchase of the Wimbledon and Dorking Railway was also proposed and agreed to. A vote of thanks was then, upon the motion of Mr. Miceru., accorded to the chairman, and the meeting separated. STOCKTON AND DARLINGTON. The half-yearly general meeting of this company was held on Wednesday, in the company's office, Northaate, Darlington ; Mr. HENRY PEASE in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said that, while the directors had come to the conclusion to declare a dividend of 7} per cent., they would have had more pleasure in declaring a larger dividend; but, taking all the circumstances into consideration, it was gratifying to them to declare 71 per cent. They would observe that reference was made to the course of trade, and the view the directors had taken of it. The income of the company had much increased, and the traffic had been larger than at any previous time, yet thou circumstances to which he had referred req wired on the part of the directors a degree of energy, caution, and be might say spirit, which be be lieved they bad shown for the benefit of the district at some cost. That cost, they would see in the same paragraph, wee • sum of 8,0001, arising from discount allowed on trade especially the traffic in the iron trade, which they all knew was the staple of the district. In doing this they were fol lowing out the policy which this company had always acted upon, which was to see that those works were as far as possible maintained in times of difficulty, in order that they might be sustained and in order that the com pany might participate in their prosperity when ever time enabled them to do so. He found from the returns that the value of exports of iron over sea for the first six mouths in 1861 leaving out the hun dreds, was 127,0001. ; and in 1862, 206,0001. ; the value of iron exported from the Tees was 78,0001 . S omething had been said in that room with regard to the probable effects of the improved trade tariff with France ; he had therefore before him a return of their trade with France, from which he found that the value of the exports from lifiddlesbro' to France in the first six months of 1861 was 15,7421., and in the same period of 1862 it was 48,9141. They would have no chacce, however, of laying the foundation or even prose cuting this trade unless they bad given that seasonable en couragement to the trade of the district, and gentlemen were aware that it is the more important that they &mid cultivate this trade when they knew that the America° trade was almost nil. Those who had had the opportunity of visiting the different iron works of that district would have been in formed that they were gradually establishing a position on the continent of Europe which, in all probability, nothing could effectually assail. Mr. Rotor THOMPSON seconded the motion, which was unanimously agreed to. RECIFE AND SAO FRANCISCO (PERNAMBUCO). An extraordinary general meeting of the share holders of this company was held at the London Tavern, yesterday, for the purpose of taking the sense of the share holders as to the ezpediency of suspending the payment of the half-yetis interest due on the 31st instant, The meet ing was numerously attended. Mr. R. BENBO/11 presided. The CuLill LS said before proceeding to the regular business of the meeting it would not be amiss if be laid before them a little information respecting the progress of the works. Three sections of the railway were opened, but the fourth was not yet completed. With regard to the fourth he read the engineer's report, which en tered into details; and he said the result was that they expected the whole line would be opes early in the autumn, and completely finished a little later. With regard to the cost of the whole under taking, of course it was impossible to speak with certainty when they had an action pending with the late contractor, but he believed that 1,800,0001. would be sufficient. It was unfortunate for them that they had not been able to construct the line for the prescribed sum, and that it had been six years and a half in constructing, instead of three as origi nally contemplated. But it had been constructed for about the same cost per mile as the other two Brazilian lines, which had had the benefit of their experience. He was sorry he could say nothing positive as to the extension of the guarantee to the whole of the capital expended. There had been two commissions of inquiry, one at Pernambuco and one in Londo n . Th e London commission had made its report, which had gone out to Brazil, but the Pernambuco one had somehow been delayed, and in con sequence of the non-receipt of that report, the government had not taken their case in hand at aL The directors had Dot received a copy of the London report, but their agent at Pernambuco had, and had sent them a digest of it. The Chairman then read the digest, which stated that the commissioners gave certain items which they considered could not be accepted as expenditure on account of construction, amounting to 105,2611., the kerns including payments for interest. With regard to the payments for interest, the objection was a little singular, seeing that the prospectus of the company stated that interest would be paid during construction, and that the Brazilian government had itself taken the interest on the 13,500 shares it held in the undertaking. The Chairman then referred to some statements which had appeared in the Journal of Commerce at Rio, purporting to be written by the London correspon dent of that journal, reflecting injuriously on the conduct of the directors. He emphatically denied the charges made, and in return charged the writer with endeavouring to make out his case by false figures. There being some reason to believe that the writer was connected with the Brazilian legation in London, be wrote to the Brazilian minister on the subject, and his excellency had replied, disclaiming on behalf of himself and the legation any complicity with the writer. C om i ng to the proper bulginess of the meeting, the propriety of paying the divi dend, he said, the directors, seeing that the imperial com missioners objected to their paying the interest, they thought it better on the whole not to continue the payment. ME. MAUDE moved that no sum be paid for interest ex cept each sum as had been paid by the Brazilian government in respect of that part of the line which was open. Mr. Jzzvag seconded the motion. He denied that they bad any right to the interest or to the extension of the guarantee, and advocated their going to the Brazilian government very humbly to ask that these claims might be conceded. Mr. WILD considered that the Brazilian government had acknowledged their right to receive interest by itself having received interest under similar circumstances. lf the share holders dad not insist on having the interest, it was an ad mission on their part that they were not entitled to it. Mr. VALPT agreed with the board that they should not continue to pay interest out of capital. He went with them to the full as to the justice of their claims ou the Brazilian government. Mr. Evaiss moved uan amendment that the knterert be . . . • After some further discumioo, in which there appeared to be a strong feeling that the shareholders were entitled both to the interest during the whole period of construction, and to an extension of the guarantee, though on the latter point several of them expressed a willingness to come to some compromise, the original motion was withdrawn and the amendment was carried with one dissentient, and a vote of thanks to the chairman closed the proceedings. MARYPORT AND CARLISLE. The directors have issued their half-yearly report. After giving tablea of receipts and expenditure for the half year ended June 30, 1862, as compared with the half-year ended June 30, 1861, the directors state as follows : ' By the half-yearly statement of accounts to the 30th June, 1862, it appears that the receipts have amounted to 28,166/. Is. 2d. ; and the expenditure, including rates and taxes, to 11,3691. 11,. 6d. The whole outlay of the half year has been charged against revenue. The engineer and locomotive super intendent continue to report favourably of the condition of the rolling stock sod way and works. In common with other lines the receipt. have suffered from the depressed state of trade now prevailing throughout the country. It is very satisfactory, however, that the passengers, goods, and parcels' show, in each case, an increase. The decrease in weight carried has enabled the °Moen to reduce the work ing expenses several hundred pounds- The balance for the half-year , after carrying 1,5711. fe. Ild. to the credit of the renewal and contingency account, is 12,2111. 8.- 9d., which enables the directors to recommend a dividend on the ori ginal shares at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, and on the preference shares according to their respective guarantees. The directors have much satisfaction in reporting the com plete success of their proceedings in parliament during the present session, the new branches bill having received the royal assent. The directors who retire at the ensuing meet ing are Mr. Hartley, chairman, and Mr. W. Lawson, M.P, • being eligible, they offer themselv es for re-election. Mr . ' Richardson, auditor, also retires by rotation, and is re-eli gible." The engineer's report, the report oa the state of the railway stock, and the auditors' report follow, as also full statements of the financial position of the company, DUBLIN AND BELFAST JUNCTION. The following in the report of the directors for the half-year :—" The directors herewith submit, for the =aide's/jou of the shareholders, the capital &camp' and gene's] balance sheet of the company to 30th June last, and the revenue account for the half-year then ended, during swat period the assosat received for passeager sad goods NEW SOUTH WESTERN STEAM PACKET COMPANY. Yesterday the half-yearly meeting of the share holders in this company was held at the Waterloo Station, Mr. DILLIVI in the clam The Cease I.N, in opening the proceedings, explained that the only object of the m ee ti ng was th e declaration of the usual dividend at the rate of 5 per oent. per annum, which be would now propose for adoption. Mr. Hrrcenis seconded the motion. Mr. LIIIIVELZ could not understand why, receiving 5 per cent, per annum, they should enter into a new agreement with the South Western Company, under which they were to receive only 4 per cent, per annum. He bad originally, fourteen years ago, opposed connecting the Steam Packet Company with the South Western Railway Company, but the South Western Railway Company then pledged itself to pay them 5 per cent, per annum so long es they retained the company's boats. (No, no.) They were bound by the terms of their agreement, if they did not like to continue to pay 5 per cent., to return the company its ships, but that they could not do. The reduction which would, under the bill of last session, take place in their income, was Naive, lent to 20 per cent., and that deduction from their income was a matter of serious importance to the share holders, especially to many ladies, all whose property was invested in the company, and on which they were con sequently dependent for an income. He complained that the stock was unknown on the Stock Exchange ; and there fore when, in consequence of the death of a proprietor, his shares found their way into the market, they were picked up at a low price by the directors, who were therefore in a far better position than the ordinary shareholders when they proposed to exchange the 5 per cent. for the 4 per cent. The CHAIRMAN repeated that the only object of the meet ing was to declare a dividend. The new arrangement with the South Western Company was an accomplished fact, so that the present was not the time to discuss its Mr. MORTIMER told Mr. Lefevre that, so far from his regarding the stock as depreciated in value by the new arrangement, he was willing to take at par all that gentle man held. The motion woe then agreed to, and the proceedings closed in the usual manner. THE DISTRESS IN LANCASHIRE. The quantity of soup distributed, principally through the Manchester and Salford District Provident Society, in the week ending the 9th inst., was 14,133 quarts ; the week pre viously the quantity was 13,295 quarts. On Tuesday evening a meeting of the workpeople em ployed by Mr. John Whittaker, was held in the school room, Hurst, for the purpose of forming a committee to relieve the d i stressed amongst themselves; Mr. Edwin Whittaker presided. Mr. W. Pennington read a brief address from Mr. John Whittaker ' expressive of his deep sym pathy with the people, and intimating his wish that the meetin g should appoint a committ ee t o di s t r ib u t e Judi ciouslythe 401. per month which be bad contributed to the Central Relict Fund specially for this object, together with such other funds as might be obtained. A committee was appointed, and afterwards met to arrange for imme , diets operations. By the aid of their personal friends and clerical brethren, the clergy of Blackburn have instituted sewing classes for the benefit of the younger female branches of their respec tive suffering and patient flocks. At the meeting of the Oldham board of guardians on Wednesday, the figures presented by the relieving officers showed a considerable increase in the numbers relieved during tbelaat week as compared with the week previous— ' the numbers being 4,068, against 3,566, and the amount of relief, 1434 as compared with 1711. A committee appointed by the Wesleyan Conference for the purpose of suggesting measure' for the relief of the dis tress in Lancashire and Cheshire have submitted their re port. They recommend that public collections shall be made in all the Wesleyan chapels throughout Great Britain not later than the last Sabbath in September, and that do nations shall also be solicited from the influential members of the congregations. The Liverpool subscription in aid of the fund for re lief of the unemployed operatives in the cotton manu facturing districts continues to be well supported. Up to the close of business on Wednesday afternoon the gross sum subscribed in Liverpool amounted to 28,3381. 4s. FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT. —On Wednesday night last, about 11 o'clock, • fatal accident ceentred at Stretton , five miles from Rugby, where there is only one line of rail; in use, owing to certain plating operations being proceeded with. The engineer of the 5.50 p.m. goods train from Crewe, on reaching the scene of the accident, observing that a passenger train was coming down on the game line, shunted off the carriages to avoid a collision, when, melan choly to state, the engine dashed down the bridge, burying in the nuns sad killing the engineer, namedThomasPittoclt, and the stoker. FIRE AT THE VICTORIA DOCILS.—Abort half-past six o'clock last evening a fire broke out in one of the large warehouses at the Victoria-docks. The Barnes spread rapidly, and although numerous engines were soon in opera tion the building and a considerable amount of property was consumed, but the efforts of the firemen prevented a more extensive calamity. BLYTH AND TYNE RAILWAY.-011 Monday last the formation of this railway was commenced by the con tractors, Masers. Rosser and Smith. There was assembled on the occasion a large party, who, after inspecting the plans and part of the ground set out for the line, proceeded to the east end of the middle section, at Backworth-lane, where the ceremony of breaking the ground was performed by Mr. Whcldon, solicitor, North Shields. That gentleman, after using the spade and b u rrow, and t urn i ng some so d s , mounted a platform and made an appropriate speech, point ing out the great benefit the public had derived from the easy mode and quick transit by rail, and by the opening to view and improving parts of the country formerly almost unknown. He also commented on the cheering prospects of further facilities being afforded by new undertakings, and expressed a strong wish that the company's objects might be realised, and that the contractors might perform the works to the satisfaction of their employers and remune ratively to themselves. Hearty cheery were given for the promoters and the contractors. The party then adjourned to the house of Mr. Nesbitt, Blue Bell, where a sumptuous dinner was provided, and the evening was spent in great harmony. The railway is to pass from the line at Monk seaton, by we. Beckworth and Long Benton. and termi nate at New Newcastle. —Negras/1e Chronicle. NORTH AND UTH WESTERN JUNCTION RAILWAY. —The report and account. for the half-year ending the 30th June last enable the directors to recommend that a divi dend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum be declared on the present occasion. The net balance amounts to 2,1161. 21. which is su ffi cient to pay a di v id en d a t th e a b ove rate, a nd leave the sum of 1181. 16s. 2d. to be carried for ward to the account of the current half-year. On =a wing the receipts arising from the three chief branches of the company's revenue with the corresponding period of last year, there has been an increase of 701. from the pas 'sorter traffic, and 2291. from the goods traffic, but 11 defi ciency of 5071. from the minerals. In explanation of this deficiency on the mineral traffic, it is stated that the tonnage of coals brought into London by the different railways during the first six months of this year fell short of the quantity im ported into London by railway in the same period of 18b1 by 172,640 tons, and that this company has only suffered in this respect in common with all the other metropolitan railway companies. The new station at Kew-bridge, the opening of which was reported at the last belt-yearly meet ing, has been working, in some respects, advantageously; but the arrangements are sot yet so perfected as to give to the passengers the full benefit which may be ultimately expected.

HOME CIRCUIT.—Gumpro4D, Auou 14. (Before Baron Bramwell and a Common Jury.) - HAND N. lIINTTH. . Mr. Serjeant 13a1lantine and Mr. Pearce were for the tiff; and Mr. Garth and Mr. lnderwick for the de fendant. The plaintiff in this action was an attorney in Coleman street, and he brought it against the defendant in order to recover damages for • breach of an agreement he had made relative to the hire of some apartments in Regent-street. The declaration alleged that the defendant had agreed to let the plaintiff the apartments in question in his house in Regent-street for a period of three years, and to provide him with proper attendance, and also the use of a bath-room, and that he had neglected to do so. From the evidence of the plaintiff, it appeared that in the beginning of 1860 he made an engagement to occupy certain apartments in a house of which the defendant was the lessee, in Regent-street, and in which house he himself also lived, and he furnished the apartments and provided a bath room. Before the arrangement was completed, he represented that he told the defendant that a lady was in the habit of visiting him, and he wished to know whether this would make any difference, and the de fendant, according to his statement, replied that he was himself a bachelor, and plaintiff was a widower, and therefore he should not offer any eh* tion. verything seemed to have gone on comfortably for some time; "the lady" visited the plaintiff without any objection being made, and the partite were on friendly terms, but it seemed that in 1861 the defendant married, and left the house in Regent-street, and • young lady named Kent took possession of that portion of the house he had before lived in. From this time, according to the plaintiff's evidence, he was subjected to all sorts of an noyance: his bath room wss furnished as a sitting room, and he was unable to use it ; and it appeared that wn one occasion, when he attempted to force his way into this bath room, two policemen were sent for by Miss Kent, and he was given in charge. It was also alleged that upon one occasion a lump of fat was found stuck upon a wine glans that was sent up for his use, and that when friends came to visit him no one auswered the door, and the present action was brought tc recover damages for these alleged breaches of the agreement that had been entered into by the defendant. The plaintiff, upon being cross-examined by Mr. Garth, said he was quite sure that he told the defendant that ladies were in the habit of visiting him, and that he made DO ob. jection. A lady used to come occasionally and stay with him all night, and Miss Kent objected to bring the lady breakfast in the morning, and said she was only bound to provide him with it, and she objected to his being visited by the lady he referred to. . . . . . . Some; evidence was then given relating to the plaintiff being deprived of the use of his bathroom, and also to show that some gentlemen who had called to see him had rang the bell three times, and it was not answered, and they ware obliged to go away. Mr. Ciartn in addressing the jury for the defendant, said he wu surprised that a jury should have been troubled to decide a case like this, which he could not help designating as one of the most trumpery character, and which ought never to have been brought into a court of justice. He said he should prove that the defendant never sanctioned the proceeding referred to by the plaintiff, and when he let • portion of the house to Miss Kent, who was • most respect able young lady, she would not, of coulee, submit to such conduct, and she was perfectly justified in refusing to wait upon the person in question, and he contended this was no breach of the defendant's agreement. The defendant was then called as a witness, and he denied that the conversation mentioned by the plaintiff relating to the visits of the lady in question, at all events in the Sense represented by him, ever took place, and Miss Kent also stated that upon the plaintiff suing that he was occasionally visited by • lady, she distinctly asked him the question whether the lad was such an one as he should introduce to his own , and he replied " certainly." Other evidence was also given to show that the plaintiff was always attended to properly, and that the only objection that was made was to wait upon the lady whose preemies was complained of. Baron Bramwell, in summing up, said it appeared to him that each a case as this might have been very well arranged without being brought into a court of justice, but as it was before them, they must dual with it, and the jury must de cide the amount of damage the plaintiff had sustained. The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff—damages, St. NORTHERN CLRCHIT.—LivrapooL, Auargrl4. To-d►y the OOMMiSIIIOII of the South Lancashire Amines was opened at Bt.

THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION•HOUSS A shabby-genteellotigna;;lrodescribed himself ae a clerk, aged 33, but who refused to give any name or ad dress, was charged with stealing a portmanteau from Gre gory's Hotel, 29, Cheapaide. Mr. Pater, banister, instructed by Mr. Warrand, the soli citor to the Society for the Prosecution of Shoplifters, Swindlers, dtc. , attended to prosecute. It appeared that the prisoner was seen by one of the waiters at Gregory s Hotel to come down stairs with a port manteau in his hand, which the waiter knew did not be long to him. He followed him into Cheepside, stopped him, and charged him with stealing the portmanteau. The prisoner asked him if he did not know John Fleet? He said be did not, and told the prisoner to go back with him to the hotel. Prisoner turned back, but on the way he tried to make off. The witness caught hold of him, how ever, and a constable was sent for and he was given into custody. The portmanteau belonged to a commercial traveller, and contained fifteen damask table cloths and • quantity of sample.. The prisoner pleaded guilty. There was also a further charge against the prisoner for attempting to obtain goods by false pretences from different warehouses in the City. It appeared that on the previous day the prisoner went into Mears. Pawson's warehouse and selected a quantity of vods to • large amount, and ordered them to be sent to Mr. Kemp, of Guildford, at Gregory's Hotel. The goods were sent, and it was found that there was no one of that name there. Mr. Albin, from Messrs. Ellie, Everington, and Co.'s, stated that the prisoner went into their warehouse on Wed nesday, and after selecting goode in the glove department to the amount of about 301., he went to the umbrella de partment, and selected some goods there to the amount of 401. He himself was called to the prisoner in consequence of the untradesmanlike manner in which he was purchas ing, and he was under the impression that he was intoxi cated. After he had selected the umbrellsa, he took a silk one out of the parcel of seven, and put it down, and when he was leaving the department he put it under his arm as if he were going to take it away with him. Mr. Lloyd, one of the warehousemen, suggested that be should pay for it before be took it away, and he asked how much it was, and on being told the price was 18s. tki., he said he bought the parcel at 18s. He was told that the parcel was 'old at 18s. 6d., and if he did not like to take them at that price they could be struck off the hut. He then put the umbrella down, and struck the lot off his book in which he had entered the goods as he selected them. When asked what firm he represented, he said H. and R. Kemp, of Guildford. He had previously notified his intention of pay ing cash for the parcel, and he said if the invoice were made out by ten o'clock the next morning (yesterday) he would call and give a cheque for the amount. A telegram, how ever, was sent to Guildford, and it was ascertained that there was no such firm as H. and R. Kemp there. The prisoner asked Mr. Allan if be did not try to persuade him to purchase goods in every department. Mr. Allan said the prisoner said he was going to pay cash, and he certainly thought if that were so he was the proper person to sell as much as possible to. The prisoner said he was representing a respectable firm. Mr. Alderman Humphery reminded the prisoner that there was no such firm in Guildford as that of R. Kemp. The prisoner said there certainly was not at present, because they would not commence business fora fortnight. Mr. Pater said he believed there were several other cases against the prisoner of a similar description, and suggested that the case should be remanded. The Alderman did not think there was any necessity for • remand, and the prisoner was committed for trial. A young man applied for assistance to enable him to pro. ceed on big road to Lougbborocgh. He stated that he had a ticket of leave. About four yam hack he was sentenced to four years penal servitude for robbing his employer, a Mr. Frisbey, and when he had served three years and three months he bad a ticket of leave for good conduct given him and he returned home to Loughborough, to try and get some work, as he was desirous of getting his living honestly. He was told he could get work at Birmingham, and he west there, but could not get anything to do. He had cone to London to see what he could do, and he was heartily sick of it, and wanted to get back to his native place if he could get a trifle to help him to walk, as he had no money. In answer to questions put to him by the Alderman, be said his parish was All Blunts, in Loughborough. He came out of prison in January, and he bad given him when be left, but be bad none left. Mr. Alderman Humphery s►id be was afraid if he gave him the money to walk be might do something wrong on the road. The applicant, however, snared the alderman that he should not be tempted to do anything wrong. He was anxious to do something to get an honest living. He had never done anything wrong since he had been home. The Alderman asked him if he had his ticket-c(-leave He rid he had not it with him. Mr. Alderman linuiphery said he could not expect hie story to be believed, if he could not produce his ticket. He, however, directed Mr. Pickering, the cashier, to give the applicant some slight relief from the poor-box, for which he seemed very thankful.

Mr. Arnold—Were the defendant' in uniform? Complainant—They were, but not on duty, as they had nothing round their wrists. Mr. Arnold—Was there any disturbance? before phis. t—None but what they caused themselves Kr. Arnold—What next occurred? Complainant—Brandi, drew hi truncheon and hit me a violent blow on the head, which rendered me senseless. I wee taken to the hospital and had my wound dressed. Mr. Arnold—Were you doing anything at the time he struck you? Complainant—Nothing. Mr. Arnold—Did he say anything to you before he struck you? - - - eomplainant—Not • word. He was hitting right and left at all about him. Arnold-THe said nothing to you? Complainant—Nothing that I could understand ea spoken to me. He was using bad language. In cross-examination by Mr. Smyth, witness said he did not know whether /trundle bad been knocked down by any Did not see anything thrown at the defendants. Heard one of the defen dan ts say to the other, "Let's have a r?w." _ _ _ By Mr. Arnold—Brendle was very drunk. I never had any dispute with the police. I was never in a police-court before to-day. I maw another policeman there. I think he was the policeman on duty. He was trying to get the two defendants away. I was quite sober. Mary Ann Bozall, of 9, Clifford's-row, Pimlioo, after de tailing a conversation she had with Mrs. Ball, her land lady, said—We were standing in Clifford's-row when the defendants came across to us, and Brundle took hold of my landlady, and hugged her in a very indecent manner. She resisted, and would - not allow him to cuddle her. She lifted her hand and smacked him. He then let go of her, and kicked her two or three times, calling her bad names. The people cried " Shame !" and I said, " You are a vagabond to treat a woman like that." He took hold of me and chucked me on the other aide of the road. I fell on the ground ; he made a kick at me, but I happened to roll over at the moment and did not get much hurt by it. I tried to get up, but be pushed me down again. A crowd collected, and I got away. He then went to last witness and struck him mill his truncheon. Mr. Arnold—Did defendant Sinnott do anything Complainant—He laid hold of Mrs. Ball. Defendants quite staggered, they were so tipsy. Brendle was like a madman. Mr. Arnold—Wee there a great disturbance! Complainant—There was a great riot. Brands was strik ing at every one. In crces-examination complainant said—l 'saw no one in uring the police. The people were running sway from them. Brundle was knocking everyone down, men, women, and children. He was acting like a man out of his Nonage. By Mr. Arnold—l don't know either of the defendasas. I never had a dispute of any kind with them. I would not come here, especially in my present state, to tell a falsehood spinet any man. lam in the family way and near my confinement. _ Francis Brandon, 40, Queen-street, Chelsea, labourer—l was standing at my street door last night talking to some friends when Sinnett came up and struck me a violent blow with his fist in the face.

Complainant—Yes ' • five or ten minutes before. Mr. Arnold—What was be doing then? Complainant—Running about like a madman. Mr. Arnold—Had you said anything to him previous to his striking you? Complaimuit—Nothing whatever. . . . . Nothing defendants' favour was elicited in mow examination. Witness mid people were flying in all direc tions to get out of the constables' way, and the mob were crying out " Shame." The improper conduct spoken of was going on far a quarter of an hour. There were several other witnesses to be examined, and as the time had arrived for the rising of the court, Mr. Arnold said it would be necessary to adjourn the further investigation of the case. He then inquired the con dition of the defendants when brought to the station. Inspector Howard said they were both drunk ; and, in answer to further inquiry, that Brundle had been in the force fifteen months, and Sinnott three months. Mr. Arnold remanded them till Tuesday, and mid he would take sureties in 201. each fortheir appearance. They were lockedup. MARKET 8. TALLOW.—Tenalut . ETZMNO. —The market was steady to-day.

The week's import is 3,5913 bales. WOOL AND WORSTED.—BRI.DrOItD, Austin 14. Spinner' are generally well supplied with wool, and only very sparingly to-day. There is an effort to advance n the rates of bright-haired wools, but the result is apparently rather to check business. Ihe finer classes of wool are firm in price. There is a good business in worsted yarns, both for home and export. Two-folds still continue in good demand. There is also a good demand for 3rls and other descriptions suitable for exportation. We cannot report' much change in the piece trade. There has been average attendance of buyers, but transactions are few and small Some manufacturers, evidently full of orders and indifferent about taking any more for the present, issue nominally higher lista ; otherwise prices are not dearer than last week. large orders have arrived from abroad during the week. HOSIERY AND LACE.—Norrntorisw, Artusr 14. — There hag been a very fair business done far all kinds of nets during the last week. Though the season is nearly over for the home markets, many orders have been placed for plain foundation nets, but the advancing prices of yarns operates as • seri ous check to any extensive business being done. A few German buyers have been in the town and small parcels of goods have been despatched to New York, India, and other foreign parts ; so that on the whole, for the time of the year and the uncertainty of prices, there are at present no substantial causes for com plaint. The prospects for winter. however, are not so hopeful as they once appeared. Business in the hosiery trade generally hu been flat, but some large houses have done better than their neighbours, and it seems evident, on comparing the oonilicting accounts, that tbe different branches are in the same condition as they have been for several weeks past, goods being generally made to order. The Board of Trade returns for the month and six months ending June present us with a by no means unfavour able picture of the condition of our local manufactures, &c. As regards lace, we Rod the exports, as compared with the same periods of 1861 and 1860, have been as follows: 1886 1861. 1862 Month £24,882 i 18,776 Gams Six Mouths 168,904 134.880 212,086 The increased value of lace sent abroad in June of the present year was 24.462/. over the same month of 1861, and 23,536/. over 1860. For the six months, the increase of the present year over 1861 is 98,806/., and over 1860, 73,102/. Whether this increase in the trade is the result of a legitimate demand, or whether it results from over speculation, remains to be seen ; and it will be well for the mercantile community to act with caution, and thus avoid the serious evils which always follows over-shipments. As, however, during the last two or three years orders from abroad have been very limited, no doubt stocks in the colonies and foreign countries; have been considerably reduced, and the present increase of trade may be only the effect of this cause. In the !twisty trade the quantity of goods exported have been as follows : Stockings—Dozen pairs. 1960. 1861. Month Six Months The value of hosiery exported during the same periods has been as follows : Month. 1860. 1961. 1862. Hosiery—Cotton Stockings .. L23,0:83 L 13,657 1.30,317 „ Other kinds Total Six Months. Hosiery—Cotton Stockings C1321413 £121,021 £186,720 „ Other kinds Total 040,82.5 £234,111 L 123,680 It thus mallet there has been a falling o ff the exporto during the tint six months of the pre sent year of 6, as compared with 1861, sod 12,1364 as compared with 1860. The month of June, however, was an active one in the trade, for it shows an increase in the shipments of hosiery of 6497 over the same month of 1861. As might he expected. the condition of the ootton market has affected the price of hosiery, for we find that whereas the average price of each dozen pain of stockings exported in 1860 was ss. 40., and in 1861 Is. 6d., during the present year it has been ss. 90., and a further advanoe may be looked for. Altogether the position of the trade is one of great uncertainty, and must remain so, until the great in ternecine struggle across the Atlantic has been brought to a sloe.—Ncaingksini Journal. OORN.
