LACY INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.) COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Sittings at Viii Prins in Middlesex.—(Before Mr. Justice Willes and a Common Jury.) MILLS r. uNDERWOOI). plaintiff in this case had been storekeeper at a bras.- foun der's, and whilst in that employment his wife died, leav i n g two children of a previous marriage MT her. During her last illness she handed - do defendant, ] Era. Underwood, her cousin, a box o f trinkets and some articles of plate, which the h ied valued at which were said on the other L a to be worth not earl y ny so much. She said that she " ra ted the property to be for the benefit of her children, w h o were of tender years ; 201. in money was also handed over u pon the same terms, but this sum had been ac counted for to the plaintiff, and the present action was b ro ught to recover the trinkets and plate. m e . lnderwick appeared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. NA, Seymour, Q.C., for the defendant. evidence was given and some discussion took place, the e s o principal facts being that the plaintiff claimed the eoo dess the property of his wife, and the defendant claimed ;Ob e id u trustee for the children. m e . Justice Willes expressed his opinion that there had b oo D othing definite enough to create a trust, and, there fore be directed a verdict for the plaintiff, subject to the °p i n ks of the full court upon the question of law. LAMBERT I'. HICKS. --- . _ The declaration in this case alleged that on the 2nd Jssuary the defendant sold to the plaintiff a horse for Ida, upon condition that if the horse won a certain steeplechase a further sum should be paid for it, and further that if the horse should not suit the plaintiff the defendant a °tad receive back the horse and return 901. to the plaintiff. Mr. Hawkins—The plaintiff claims 901., due to him upon Isis returning the horse Black Prince. Mr. Lewis (interrupting)—My friend claims 901., and I 02 directed to consent to a verdict for that amount. (A. V.ifawkins—Then I have nothing further to ask except that we may have our money as soon as possible. A veld ct was takng gra t ed consent for the plaintiff for the ga., and the judge execution in four days. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. Sittings in Banco—(Before Barons Martin, Bramwell, and , • Pigott-) HSI GOA V. OLTVLS. TIM was an action to recover damages for bodily injuries „ i mbed by the plaintiff through the alleged negligence of the defendant's servants. It appeared that the plaintiff west to the defendant's premises to deliver a message, end es be was about to enter the door the defendant's "mat pushed him aside, and immediately after 'iris a package which had been placed against the wallfell down and injured his foot. The trial took place before the Recorder of Manchester, who nonsuited the =a:l on the ground that there was no evidence of ueg ' oaths part of the defendant • but it was agreedbe- Mom the parties that if this court thought the plaintiff was entitled to recover, the damages should be 301. mi.. Chas. Pollock now showed cause against a rule which had been obtained to set aaide the nonsuit and enter &verdict for the plaintiff for 301. The rule was supported by Mr. Prentice. At the conclusion of the arguments, there being a differ ence of opinion amongst their lordships , Mr. Baron Pigott, being the junior judge, delivered his judgment first. He was of opinion that there was evidence to go to the jury. The packing-case was reared against the wall, the defendant's servant was watching it, and while doing so it felldovrn, and it must be assumed by its having been improperly placed, for there was nothing to show that it was disturbed by any other cause. The facts were not consistent with a mere accident, and they should he over-ruling all the cases if they decided that there was no evidence of negligence. Mr. Baron Bramwell entirely agreed with his learned brother. The defendant was responsible for the package, and there was a substantial prima facie case against him, and therefore the matter ought to have been left to the Kr. Baron Martin was of opinionthat the re cadre was right in withdrawing the ease from the jury. Upon the facts there was no reason to con clude that the accident arose from the defendant's negligence; on the contrary, he thought the alleged negligence on his part was all surmise and imam latsoa. What lay at the bottom of all these cases, was the opposition that the plaintiff was excused from prov ing the circumstances, because the persons in the employ of the defendant knew them better, and the defendant ought to call them. This he thought was bad reason and bad law. There being a majority in favour of the plaintiff, the rule was made absolute. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Winslow.) IN RE HOLLINGEWORTH AND JACORB. This was an adjourned sitting for examination and dis charge. The bankrupts were ship chandlers, trading in partnership at Southampton. Mr. Reed was counsel for the assignees ; Mr. Paterson the bankrupts. raP fre r ro d accounts filed in this case disclose joint and separate debts, amounting in the aggregate to 2. 00/. ; with wets, property surrendered 352/., and bad debts3s2l. When the case was last before the court an adjournment was ordered for further accounts which have been accord ingly rendered. It was now objected on the part of the *Epees that the bankrupts had not accounted for the disposal of large quantities of jewellery received shortly before the failure. The books were very imperfectly kept, sad bankrupts alleged that they had no record of their rash transactions, but only of their dealings upon credit. As adjournment sine die at the bankrupts' expense was now asked with liberty to them to apply for a sitting when prepared to make a full disclosure of their dealings and estate. Mr. Paterson, for the bankrupts, asked that they should be allowed the assistance of an accountant at the expense of the estates. He said that no allowance bad been yet made, although more than 300/. had been realised. The accounts required were of so special a nature that it would be impooilde for the bankrupts to finish them without pro fessional aid. The Commissioner said he should not make any order for the employment of an accountant, but would leave the assignees to do as they thought right in the matter. The bankrupts did not appear to have used any efforts to com ply with the order of the court, and the meeting would therefore be adjourned sine die, but without costa. THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) GUILDHALL. Women" TO OMNI BUM RTIMR.9. One of the conductors of the London General Company's . omnibuses was summoned before Alderman Waterlow for &wiring a passenger in the route of the vehicle. Ir. Swsinston said that on Friday week he took the defendant's omnibus in Piceaclillr to go to the Bank, as there was " Bank" on the side of it ; but when it came to ledgate-hill, near St. Paul's-churchyard, the conductor aid, ' You must get out here, because we do not go ser further." He replied, " You have got ' Bank' on the ride, and you are bound to take me to the Bank. The de fendant rejoined, " That has nothing to do with it, you most get out here." The defendant positively refused to take him to the Bank. -- —..— ......--. The defendant said his instructions were to go only to St Paul's-churchyard, and there to transfer the passen gers to a Waite:duster omnibus. Be did transfer all but the complainant on the day in question. Yr. Swainston denied this, and said that, although he telegraphed to an omnibus about twenty yards ahead, it took no notice of him. —.— ... Alderman Waterlow said the defendant was bound to take the complainant to the Bank, and he must either do it or take " Bank " off the omnibus. Re amid fine him 10s. and caste, or 7 days' imprisonment. CLERKENWELL A ATIRANCE AT THE NEW CATTLE KAZLZT. The Lord Mayor, aldermen, and commonalty of the City of London, the owners of the premises situate and being at the south-west portion of the Metropolian Market, were summoned before Mr. Barker by Mr. W. Mayes, sani tary inspector, on behalf of the vestry of the parish of Bt. Mary, Islington, to answer the following complaint : That in and upon the premises above mentioned in their district, under the Nuisancu Removal Act for England, la 6 - 5, the following nuisance exists, viz., an accumulation sad deposit of dung and filth, which is a nuisance and in jurious to health, and that the said nuisance is canoed by the act and default of you the said Lord Mayor, aldermen, and commonalty, the owners of thesaid premises." Mr. Layton, vestry clerk, and solicitor to the vestry of Islington, attended to support the complaint ; and Mr. Kirby, from the office of the City solicitor, defended. The court was crowded by the respectable inhabitants of the district, who have come forward to depose to the nuisance. _ _ _ Mr.layton,in opening the ease, said that these pro "dings were taken under the 18th and 19th Viet., cap. 121, see. 13, and he had to ask the court for an immediate order to suppress a nuisance which was of so serious a cha ncre, that if it was not suppremed would engender disuse and sickness in the whole neighbourhood. The nuisance consisted of spreading heaps of ma nure —that manure consisting of the blood and offal from the slaughter-houses as well as the , ordinary sweepings of the market—over a piece of land Delmeing to the corporation, which it was intended to lay do h for pasture. The spreading of the dung was only commenced last week, but so disgusting was the stench, and so fearful were the inhabitants that illness would be caused to the whole neighbourhood if the nuisance was not at once pat down—and he might here mention that the stench could be experienced three-quarters of a mile away—that he had received many letters on the subject, and he then held in his hand a document signed by veer 50 of the inhabitants of the Hungerford-road, the Marquis road, and other places, stating their readiness to came forward and depose to the danger and the ineonvenirmes el as I, at ad km rare • all - ffi; - mat a ad. tral M.; 4a. • Igo sta • bout oaf DAM 4 114 )Inis 11.1 the int al Oat 01 IS n. a•■• .1 iii arta dove ,lAA wbra r• it adorn rera r thei Sri koala a. ti !pr. as tic* Wi g nboor the nuitauce. Unler these circumstance', he felt sur.l that when the court had heard the •eideace it would at once make the order asked for. He (Mr. layter) then DREADFUL ACCIDENT ON TILE BRIGHTON AND SOUTH COAST RAILWAY. called Mr. William Mayes, one of the sanitary inspectors, who stated that on Tuevilay, the 24th ult., at 7 p.m., in pass ing the south-west portion of the Metropolitan Cattle Market he experienced a moat horrible stench. He 11,1 been an inspector of nuisances over 16 years, and it was the worst he had ever experienced. The following morn. ing he made an inspection for the purpose of ascertaining the cause, when on a piece of vacant ground he found two large heaps of manure, one of which was being spread over the surface of the field. The manure consists of the sweepings of the market, the lairs, and the refuse gene rally from the slaughter-houses. There were about 200 loads in the heaps. He at once coved the necessary notices on the City authorities for the suppression of the nuisance, but it had not been abated when he saw the field on Monday. The inspector, in cross-examination, said that since the notices had been served some lime bad been placed over the dung that had been spread. To abate the nuisance the dung that had been spread should be ploughed in at once, and the remainder of the heaps turned. He was aware that there was an Order in Council prohibiting the removal of dung, but most of that which were in the heaps was there before that order was made. It was all rotted dung, and the stench from it when moved was most fearful. Mr. Kirby said the dung had been laid on the field for the purpose of turning it into pasture land. The dung should be ploughed in and the land sown with grass seeds. He had, therefore, to ask that the matter might be ad journed for a week to give time for the abatement of the nuisance complained of. Mr. Layton said he should object most strongly to an adjournment, as if the case was adjourned he should not have a living witness of the fact that a nuisance b ad existed. (A laugh.) Dr. Ballard, medical officer of health for Islington, ' gave confirmatory evidence, ani: deposed to the fact that the dung was a nuisance, and the smell arising from it would be injurious to the public health. Dr. Henry Edwards, staff surgeon, R.N., said his attention had been called to the intolerable nuisance which exists in connexion with the Islington Cattle Market, and gave it as his opinion that its existence must have a deleterious effect upon the health of the surround ing district. For some tune past a very foetid odour has prevailed in the atmosphere west and south of the Cattle Market, not only in the streets, bet even pervading the houses occupying an extensive area of the Camden-town district. Other confirmatory evidence having been given, Mr. Barker made an order for the immediate suppres sion of the nuisance, and also an order to prevent the re currence of the same. Mr. Layton said as he had not gone for penalties he bad to ask for the costs to be allowed. Mr. Barker said he considered the application a proper one, and allowed 51. 3s. for costs. THREE PERSONS KILLED AND SEVERAL INJURED. An alarming collision took place last night, at about a quarter to 10, near the Caterham Junction, on the Brighton and South Coast line, between the 8 p.m. up passenger train, from Brighton, and a chalk train leaving the sidings north of the station, loaded with ballast for the South London line. It seems that the chalk siding is worked under written regulations, which provide that the signal man shall keep the key of the points leading out of the siding, and only permit trucks to leave it after having " blocked " the down line by telegraph to the next sema phore signal. The signalman at Caterham(WilliamJeffery) appwasto have given the key of the crowing-points to the head guard of the ballast-train. The signalman is said to have s ignalled for the ballast-train to " follow the two trains" —the 8 p.m. from Brighton, and another belonging to the South Eastern Railway. On the other hand the guard and driver of the ballast-train say that the intimation was " you may follow the Dover ;" and they further man t that after the passing of the South Eastern train the driver whistled as usual fora hand signal as permission to leave the siding, which was responded to by Jeffery, who gave a signal by moving twice a white light. These statements, however, are contradicted by Jeffery, who states that he heard no whistle and gave no signal whatever. He had taken off his fixed signal for the 8 p.m. train to pass; and the assertion that the signalman ordered the ballast train to pass out of the points is rendered the more improbable from the fact that he had not " blocked " the line back to Selsden. Such is the substance of the origin of the calamity, as furnished to the company, who, of course, are making a strict investigation. The force of the collision threw the engine and tender of the 8 p.m train off the line and down the embank ment, the head guard, William Webb, of Brighton, being killed and his van smashed to pieces. The first three or four carriages were driven at right angles to the line, and into each other, two of the passengers, Mr. and Mrs. Drew, of 43, Great Percy-street, Pentonville, being killed—the lady on the spot, and the gentleman dying about two hours afterwards. The moment the occurrence took place information was forwarded to New-cross and Brighton, from whence smitten°e was soon sent. Those whose sufferings were the more apparent were speedily removed, the house of Mr. Jackson, of Pur ley, near Caterham Junction, being kindly offered. The names of those who remained at Mr. Jackson's were :—Mrs. Cohen, 34, Tork-street, Westminster ; Mr. and Mrs. Savage, 29, Langham-street, Poi tland-place ; Mr. and Mrs. D. Glasgow, 20, Blyddleton-square, Clerkenwell ; and Mrs. Watson and child. All, with the exception of Mrs. Wat son and the child, had sustained injury. The following list:of injured has been furnished to the company F. Ranwell, 54, Camden-road, Camden• town, general concussion, rather seven; Captain Mathen, 10, Leinster-equare, Bayswater, leg injured, and severe shaking ; Anne Pollard, 3, Copthall-chambers, Throg morton-street, severe pains in back, &c.; Mrs. J. Sexton, of St. George's-terrace, Lower Edmonton, bruised in head and ' face; and W. Forster, Iraq., 29, Fulham-place, Maids-hill, injury to leg, and severe shaking. Those most seriously injured are Mrs. Jane Edwards (wife of a commercial traveller, 249, Caledonian-road), who is now in Guy's Hospital ; Mrs. Smith, wife of the station-master of the line ; and Mr. Collingridge, of Camden-town. Those of the affrighted passengers, between 20 and 30, who were able to be brought to London, were conveyed thither in a van drawn by the What engine. The accident caused much delay to the 10.20 p.m. " down," the 10 p.m. 8 mth Eastern " up," and a down South-Easter "paid special." It was nearly 5 o'clock this morning be fore the line was sufficiently clear to admit of the regular traffic ; and many inquiries have been made at the company's office, London- bridge, during the day--some being attended with the most painful results. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. COMBL',IATION AGAINST ♦ FOREMAN. David Ryan, a labourer, was charged as follows : Mr. George Hotten, foreman in the employ of Messrs. Seri and White, builders, at some works going on in Riding-house-street (the building of the Portland British Schools) said the prisoner was engaged at the works as a labourer, and he had to discharge bum in con sequence of his absenting himself drinking. On his doing so the prisoner said, " You —, you discharged me and PH knock your brains out," and then struck him in the face and turned him out of the offioe. Hugh Facey, another foreman in Messrs. Scrivener and White's employ, said that he was going to the prisoner for what work he had done, when he sal " knock your brains out,"and the prisoner then laid hold of Batten, and struck him a violent blow in the face, and afterwards incited a number of the labourers to leave the job. Thor. Rceekillins, one of the warrant officers, said that when he went to execute the warrant he was surrounded by the friends of the prisoner. The prisoner, who was very violent, made • rush at the witness Foxy, who would have been violently handled but for his (llosekilling's) inter ference. In answer to the charge the prisoner called two wit nesses out of a number of labourers in attendance, and from the rambling statement they made it was clear that they were actuated by far from friendly feelings towards the complainant. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he considered the assault • very bad one, inasmuch as it was setting a bad example to the other men, and was likely to entail a feeling of insubordination amongst them. He should, therefore, fine the prisoner U., or two months' imprisonment. WORSHIP-STREET. DARING PLATE ROBBERY. George Homey, 27, describing himself as a dog dealer, 6, Prospect-place, Victoria-park ; and PatrieJc Madden, describing himself as a boot-closer, in Cow-place, Chequer alley, Whitecross-street, were charged with being con cerned in stealing s plate basket containing articles of silver, value above 101. Between' 2 and 3 o'clock in the afternoon of the 27th ult. William Whitbread, a dairy man, was serving his customers in St. Thomas road, South Hackney, when he heard the scream of • woman, and at the same instant noticed two men leaving the front rite of No. 2, Alfred-terrace, in the oc cupation of Mr. hilmtuid Fox. Opposite the house stood a light spring cart, drawn by a alight brown coloured horse. A man held the reins, and appeared ready to start. Whit bread ran up and caught hold of the animal's bridle just at the instant that one of the men alluded to sprang into the cart, and took from his companion a plate basket. The driver waited no longer. Whitbread seized the man, yet on the pathway, was obliged to loose his hold of the horse, and the cart was driven away at great speed. The captured man was given into the hands of Sergeant Bishop, N division, and is the prisoner Hansey He was charged at the court on the following day and remanded. The prisoner Madden was now brought up by lilogg anti Clay, detectives, of the G division, and the dairyman in stantly recognised him as the driver of the horse and cart mentioned. This witness, it appeared, had noticed, despite the confusion existing at the tune of this daring robbery being committed, the name of " Sum in" or ' Sumner" on the light cart, and this fact enabled the police to trace Madden. The horse and cart had been borrowed by Han- Bey from the owner, a carman, in Agnes-street, Bethnal green on the afternoon of the lath, and Madden returned with it at 4 o'clock the same day. The man with him at the time in question is still at liberty, and likely to remain so. The plate, comprising forks, spoons , soup ladle, fish slice, he. has not of course been recovered: ' The scream mentioned he., from one of the servants on her entering the breakfast parlour, mining the plate basket, and seeing two men leaving the front garden. En trance had been obtained through the window. Not any defence was offered, sad the prisoners stand remanded. THAMES. 1131 LAI% CASE OF MIDFCTION. Mr. Charles Young, the solicitor, who is engaged to con duct the prosecution against CAristias 01s ius, a Dute.hman, who carries on the business of a piekle and fruit merchant in Crispin-street, Spit&Melds, and Ellen liosigkkne, a woman of indifferent character, who was committed by Mr. Paget for the abduction of a young lady named Elizabeth Tolley, reported that both prisoners were brought up from Newgate yesterday on a writ of habeas corpus and offered bail to the presiding judge at chambers. He (Mr. Charles Young) opposed the I application for bail on the part of Mr. 'Tolley, the j father of the young lady. Mr. Justice Lush after I hearing Mr. Begley, counsel for the prisoners, and reading the affidavits, decided that both prisoners I might be safely bailed, and that as the law presumed all persons to be innocent until found guilty there was no reason to detain them if they could find good security for their appearance at the next session of the Central Cri minal Court. He fixed the amount of bail as fol lows:—For Olifius, his own personal recognisance in 2,0001. and two sureties of 7501. each ; and for Houghton, in her own personal recognisance of 3001., and two sureties of 1301. each. Obfius imme diately put in the required bail and was liberated. The woman was unable to put in the required sureties, and was sent back to Newgate. She was called upon to give 24 hours' notice of bail. WANDSWORTH. AIItBMENTS IN ♦ NAILWAT__CARBIAOI. — cernoN TO THE , EXPRESS, TUESDAY EyFICI,NC 4 f, MAX 1, 18.66. ELECTION COMMITTEES.--(THIS DAY.) HARWICH. The committee appointed to try and determine the merits of the petitions against the return for Harwich met this morning. The first petition is that of Michael Wells, a candidate at the late election, who complains of the return of Henry Jervis White Jervia, on the ground that at the time of the election he held an office or place of profit under the crown—nainely, the of fi ce of Assistant- Superintendent of the Royal.mell Arms Establishment in London. and was also a clerk in the office of the Secretary at War. and prays that his name may be eroed from the return, and that of the petitioner substituted. There is a second petitioner from John S. Runt and several other electors against the return of Mr. Jervis, and ulso against the return of Mr. John Kelk, on L I the ground of corrupt practices, and praying that the elec tion may be declared null and void. The committee consists of the following members :—Mr. Gothorne Hardy (chairman), Mr. Serjeant Armstrong, Mr. novo., Mr. K. D. Hodgson (Bridport), and Mr. J. W. Huddlestone. Counsel for the petitioner, Mr. Phinn, Q.C., Mr. Rod well, Q.C., Mr. Fitzjames Steiphen, and Mr. Phi ibreck. For the sitting member, Mr. Serjeant Ballantine, Mr. Hy. James, and Mr. Walverston. Mr. Phinn opened the case, and having stated the ground of disqualification relied on by the petitioner, proceeded to contend that the office held by Captain Jervis was a " new office or place of profit" cinder the crown within the meaning of the act 6th of Anne, cap. 7, sec 25. At the time of the Crimean war the War Office was reconstructed by order in council of 6th June, 1855, • new establishment for carrying on the duties of the War Department was created. The schedule to the order constituted amongst other offices that of superintendent of the Royal Factory of Small Arms. The sitting member was now assistant-inspector of the Royal Small Arms establishment in London, and that office was, he contended, a new office, the bolder of which was disqualified from sitting in parlia ment. The learned gentleman read the correspondence be tween Colonel Dickson and General Peel, which led to the appointment of Captain Jervis to the office in question, and his removal from Enfield, where he held the office of instructor, to London to take charge of the Small Anna establishment. The emolument of the office was to be 2001. a year, in addition to military pay as captain and a gninea • week for lodging money. The salary was subsequently fixed at 3501., with certain . I extras. The office was a civil office, with • civil salary attached to it. It was held, not under the Guards, but under the Secretary for War, by whom the duties to be performed were regulated. The officer had to report him , self ti the Secretary for War, himself the holder of a " new office." and was in no way responsible to the Com mander-in-Chief. nor would the holder of the office, in case of misbehaviour, be liable to be tried by court-mar tial. Counsel referred to minutes of the Treasury, in which the salary was referred to as " civil salary in addi tion to military pay." [Left sitting.] CHELTENHAM. The select committee appointed to inquire into ' the procee , 'rgs concocted with the last election for Chel tenham reassembled this morning ; Mr. Ayrton in the eh dr. William Crewe, an elector of Cheltenham, cordwainer, knew George Pow.ll, who, on the eve of the election, took witness to the Calcutta to have something to drink. Wit ness told him that if he was on the election dodge, it was of no use. Powell asked him not to vote at all, but s*.t. ness said he could not promise to do that. as he had pro mised to vote for Col. Berkeley. Next day witness did vote for Col. Berkeley. William Skinner, greengrocer, and en elector of Chelten ham, did not promise to vote for any one previous to the election. Knew Mr. Stroud, the attorney, towhom he owed 3/. Mr. Stroud called on him several times previous to the election, and wished him to vote for Mr. Schreiber. Witness said that would be against his principles, and if he were to rote for any one it would be for Colonel Berkeley, but he did notwiah to voteatall.Mr. Stroud asked himwhy he did not wish to vote at all, and he replied that he had friends with whom his business lay on both sides, and he did not with to offend either. Mr. Stroud then told him that if he would go out of the town on the day of the eleo : lion the account between them should be considered as spared. Witness acted upon the intimation, went away from the boroush on the day of election, and did not vote at all. Mr. Schreiber called on a itneu several times. A gentle. man, whom witness believed to be Mr. Powell, was with him. On one of those occasions Mr. Shreiber asked him if he wanted any money. Witness replied that he did not, whereupon Mr. Schreiber told him that whatever he wanted he could have. In cross-examination witness said he would not swear to Powell, but he thought he was the same person who called with Mr. Schreiber. Was sure the person who accompanied Mr. Schreiber was not en old man. The conversation between Mr. Sobreiber and witness took place a few days before the election. Mr. Schreiber asked witness if he were in difficulties and if he wanted any money. Witness had said to Morgan a day or two before the election that be would not like to offend either aide, and therefore be thought he had better remain neutral, as he did in 18.59. Witness did not say to Morgan, however, that he would vote for Schreiber if he were pushed for a vote. By the oommissioner—My wife and I talked the thing over a few days before the election, and she advised me not to vote at all. That would be about a week before the election. Mr. Stroud came to me about three weeks before the election—before I had spoken to my wife upon the matter. [Left sitting.] - - ITUIDDERSFIELD. At the sitting of the committee this morning Mr. S. Fox Wilson was called, and denied linker's story about the transaction at the Turk's Head. He had never been at the Turk's Head with Learoydon the polling day. Hugh Moore, sergeant in the Huddersfield borough police, spoke of a visit be had paid to Tinker's house by direction of his superintendent on the night before the polling day. It was in a very disorderly state. Was sent to protect Tinker. Mr. Learoyd was there. Witness was near enough to have seen him give Tinker money, but he saw nothing of the sort. John !tfantlen also stated that he bad gone with Mr. Learoyd to Tinker's, and no money passed between them. Mr. Wm. Hannan, superintendent of the Huddersfield police force, said there had been a great deal of excitement in the town, and from what he bad heard and observed he apprehended a disturbance. At tended some of Colonel Crosland's meetings, and in some cases they were interfered with ; the speakers were attacked, and Colonel Crosland's supporters were tumbled about. Colonel Crosland was popular with the respectable portion of the electors, but Mr. Leathern was the favourite of the mob—the non-electors. [Left sitting.] PROVINCIAL SHARE MARKETS.

Robert Harrry, who was described as a horse breaker at Mitcham. was summoned under the Railway Act for cutting the lining and seats in a second-class carriage, and also with breaking the windows, thereby causing damage to the amount of 2/. 10s. Mr. T. Bent, the superintendent of police on the South Western Railway, attended to prosecute the defendant, who pleaded not guilty. Mr. W. Berry, an accountant, stated that on the 19th ult. he was a passenger by the 7.11 train from Weybridge to Wimbledon. Between Surbiton and Malden he saw a quantity of stuff—something like hair—thrown out of the window of the compartment in front of him. He looked through the small window in the panel of the car riage separating the two compartments, and saw the seat all torn and one of the windows broken. While on the journey he heard the breaking of another window in the same compartment. 'Witness alighted at the Wimbledon station, and called the attention of the stationmaster to the state of the carriage. In answer to questions, the witness said that on look ing through the window into the compartment he saw that the defendant was the only passenger there. He was then walking up and down the carriage. Several of the officials were examined, from whose evi- I dence it appeared that the defendant also alighted at the Wimbledon station, and went from the up to the down platform without delivering up his ticket. The defendant denied knowing anything whatever about the damage. He said that he got into the train at Sur biton station, and there were other passengers in the carriage with him. The guard qi the train, however, proved that the win dows of the carriage were not broken when it was taken on at Surbiton station. Mr. Ingham ordered the defendant to pay the amount of damage, V. 10s., and a flue of 5/., with 2s. coda. The defendant not being provided with the money, and • having no goods on which a distress could be levied for the I amount, was committed to prison for three months, with hard labour.

Payne, City coroner, at St. Bartholomew's Hospital last evening, rela tive to the death by fire of Elizabeth Emma Thompson, aged 27 years. The deceased was one of three persons who were seriously injured by a fire at No. 35, Windmill street, Finsbury-square, caused by the explosion of a paraffin lam Mr. Henr y Thompson said that the deceased was his sister, and she resided with him and another brother and a sister, at 35, Windmill-street. On last Friday morning at 1 o'clock witness was awoke by loud screams, and by his sister Harriet knocking at his door. When he ran into the passage he saw the deceased's bedroom in a blase, and the deceased lying in the doorway, with her night-dress on fire. Harriet was also burning. Witness with great difficulty extinguished the flames in which the deceased and Harriet were enveloped. Assist ance came and both of them were removed at once to the hospital badly burnt. Every thing in the bedroom—tables, chairs, bed, and carpet, were in a blaze. When he threw water in the blazing oil at first seemed merely to float upon it, but in a little time it was extinguished. Witness was very severely burnt about the hands and arms. The cause of the fire was the explosion of • common paraffin lamp. The Coroner requested the witness to see his surviving sister in the accident ward of the hospital and ascertain from her exactly how the accident arose. The witness did as requested, and stated upon his return that his sister informed him that when she got into bed the deceased turned down the wick of the lamp in the usual way, and the lamp instantly exploded and filled the place with flame. The lamp was of the ordinary kind, and had been in use four months. Three weeks ago they removed to Windmill-street, and then they bought oil at sd. a pint at Mr. Wyley's oilshop in Windmill-street. It was that oil which exploded. Mr. J. Astley Bloxam, house surgeon, deposed that deceased was brought in burnt all over the body in a fright ful manner, and she died in a few hours. In his opinion, the explosion must have been occasioned by the deoessed's having suddenly blown into the tube of the lamp, and thus sent the flame into the heated oil chamber. A juror rid that if non-explosive oil was used accidents would not take place, for the fault was not in the construction of the lamps. To save halfpence in the price of oil persons frequently purchased an article which was a constant danger to life and property. A person in court said that a lamp had blown up in his house in Cullum-street, City, in a precisely similar man ner. The wick having burnt down the oil-chamber exploded without warning. The Coroner, in summing up, said that it was very de sirable that the public should be put upon its guard as to the danger of using lamps or oil with the nature of which they were not acquainted. 'The jury returned • verdict, " That the deceased died from injuries caused by the explosion of • certain paraffin oil lamp ; and the jury would recommend the public to be cautious in using any oil of the non-explosive character of which they have not received sufficient assurance, as much oil is sold which is explosive and dangerous to life." Several of the Paris journals state that Count Walewaki has been created a duke by the Emperor. If so, this is the seventh dukedom conferred under the Secondmond Empire. The Dukes de Malakoff, de Montmorot (son of Queen Christina of Spain), de Magenta, de Moray, de Per im, de Montmorency, and de Colonna-Waleweki. Of that number two titles, them of Malakoff and Xontmorot, ars already extinct. MONEY MA . Ox o'Ciocx. This being the day tixed for striking the half yearly balance at the Bank of England, the trans fer offices at that establishment are closed, and the Stock Exchange is also shut, according to custom. We have, therefore, no transac:ions to report in stocks and shares. The discount market is excee , lingly quiet to-day, while the supply of money is large. Owing, how ever, to the withdrawals of gold from the Baak, the rate for the best paper is tirm, and most of the transactions effected have been at the Bank mum, viz., 6 per cent. The subjoined notification has just been issued by the authorities of the Bank of England : May 1, 1966. Notice is hereby given, that in order to prepare the divi dends due on the sth July - , 1 , 436, the balances of the several accounts in the following funds will be struck on the night of Friday, the let June. 1t , 66, viz.:-31. per cent.

The public are undecided and hold aloof, and priees are thus left very much at the dictation of speculators. The downward impulse evidently rests in great part with the fall on the Paris Bourse, but to anyone I acquainted with the extent to which the mania for gambling has permeated classes there which in this country know nothing whatever of the Stock Ex change, the panic which has seized the Bourse will be easily understood, especially when it is borne in mind that the alarm of war is raised just at the eons ' mencement of the monthly settlement. The panic in Italian stock - has been aggravated by the cir• culation of a rumour that the Minister of Finance has it in contemplation to enact a forced currency of bank notes. Fundhultlers thereupon naturally fear that they will receive considerably less than their due. The financial position of the several powers which are now said to be con templating war, combined with the serious depre elation of all the loans lately brought out in the London market, affords a warning to English investors to keep their money at home. It is, indeed, not easy to see why our money market or our home investments should be seriously affected by the threatened conflict on the Continent should it occur. We shall certainly not encourage foreign investments at a time of European turmoil, and the important consideration then presents itself that even should war occur, it cannot be of long duration if only because the combatants have such limited means for carrying it on. One early:result of a struggle on the Continent would be a flow "of gold to this country for safe employment. Investors have likewise to bear in mind the fact that we have already descended to war prices, and the probability that, after the tension lately expe rienced, even the declaration of war would pro duce a sensation of relief. A further sum of 1011,0001. in gold was with- drawn from the Bank yesterday for exportation to Paris, owing to the flatness of the exchange. This makes a total of 230,000/. withdrawn since the date of the last return. The steamer Oneida, from Brazil, has arrived at Lisbon, with 51,8151. in specie. The silver market is inactive, with very few transactions, owing to the absence of demand for the East. Ilan are now quoted ss. Id. to se. lid. per ounce, and Mexican dollars ss. op. The Board of Trade returns for March have been issued. The total declared value of the British and Irish produce and manufactures shipped from the United Kingdom during the month was as follows : March, 1864 1865 ~ „ 1866 It appears from these figures that, in spite of the uncertainty which has so long prevailed, the export trade during March was characterised by a con tinuance of the extraordinary activity which has been noticed throughout the present year. The increase over March last year is no less than 3,750,200/. For the first three months of the pre sent year the figures are as follows : 3 months, 1864 1865 „ 1866 The increase in the first quarter of the year, as compared with last year, is thus 11,355,458/. As usual, the increase extends to nearly all the leading staples of export, and is especially observable in the American trade. The present tables state also the value of the chief imports in February, which was as under : February, 1664 1865 1866 And for the first two months : Two months, 1964 £20,734,897 1865 1t466 The increase is therefore almost as great in the import as in the export branch, and argues a ge nerally active condition of trade, which involves, of course, a corresponding demand upon the money market. It is announced that, in consequence of the many unfounded rumours which have been circulated as to the position of the Imperial Mercantile Credit Association, the directors are having a special and complete audit of their accounts made by their auditors, Messrs. Colman. Tnrquand, Youngs, and Co., in conjunction with Messrs. Quilter, Ball, and Co., and that the report of these two firms will be submitted to the shareholders within the next few E 13,214,541 12,P64,779 _16,610,159 days.

The report and balance-sheet stated that the Royal Cambrian Works at Penyffordd, North Wales, have recently been completed, and a re now in full ' operation, and that the payment of a satis factory dividend ' at the annual meeting in October may be anticipated.
