Richard Coe, an engineer and fellowwman of the steer mid that Redwood wan conversing with him on Fri 7 afternoon on religious subjecta, and he seemed very dl.. garbed in his mind. He made an attempt to convince the prisoner that be was not quite right on some subjects. Other men laughed at !him, and he said to them " Pont be hard with him." Witness we. a member of the Wes leyan body. The prisoner's landlady said he lodged with her six month., and was well behaved, but laboured under some delusions on religions subjects. The prisoner came home M 8 o'clock on Friday night, went out again end returned at 12. After midnight the prisoner went out spin with his large familyßible under his arm.

WANDSWORTH. • I)ZLICATI DISCOVZRY. THE IMPORTANT FENIAN ITAPTUIUCAT CURE. (BY ruzalAra.) (nom Buz owl, COIWPO CORK., SATUIDLT. This morning Captain Mackay and the three men arrested with him, together with three, anbeinnently taken, who were armed with re volvers, were examined before the magistrates on a charge of high treason. Mackay has been identified as the leader in the attack on the Martell , ' Tower. The capture is the most important one yet made. Mackay is stated to be the chief leader here. All the prisoners were remanded. A respectable-1;0g young man, named Janata Edward GaltiC7l, who was described as a saddler, was pawed in the dock charged with being in the house of Mr. William Pearce, • sculptor, of Paxton-terrace, Nine Elms, supposed for an unlawful purpose. Mr. F. R. Haynes appeared for the prosecutor ; and Mr. Mayo for the prisoner. Mr. Pearce said—l had been absent all day at Bristol, and did not return home until past 11 o'clock at night. I knocked at the door, but it was not answered readily, and I heard more than one person inside. I took some sausages home, and had them 000ked, and after I had my supper, and at I o'clock in the morning, I went to the cellar to see if there were any coals, as I was going to Scotland the neat dal. I looked under the staircase and saw a coat and • pear of boots. I then saw that there was • man concealed under the staircaas. I spoke to him, but he made no answer. I locked the coal seller door and sent foe the police, when I give him in charge. My wife was present, but my four children were in bed at the top of the house. I employed the prisoner last Saturday for three hours to remove some furniture from my hones—that is all. I had seen him once before. By Mr. Mayo—My wife did not tell me she put him there. I cannot say whether she said " He is not there for an unlawful purpose." I don't think she did. I was sure he was there for some unlawful purpose. Yea, to steal. When I knocked at the door I heard more than one person inside. I hsd some suspicion on hearing two persons and only seeing my wife. I beard the ands rattle, but my wife was not in the cellar. I bad my suspicdon after that, but I said nothing. (Laughter.) Mr. Dayman—Before I can convict you Inuit prove that he is there not merely for an unlawful purpose but for such a purpose as I can take cognisance of. If he was there for an immoral ipurpose I cannot take cognisance of it. No one can shut his eye to the conviction that he was there with the consent of your wife. Prosecutor—She denies Mr. Dayman—lt is not whether ske denies it. I take your own evidence. Prosecutor.—l should like to know bow he came there. Mr. Daman—l can't go into that. He was there, no doubt, without your knowledge, but he was there with the consent of some one who had control of the place, end so far he was there lawfully. Let him be discharged. Mr. Mayo rem to make an application on behalf of the wife, who was in danger, but Mr. Dayman refused to listen to it at present. CREF—NIVICH. sisc I APPLICATION BY SPECIAL CONMTABLVL Several persons employed at Deptford Dockyard at tended the court, and asked the magistrate's advice under the following circumstances. The spokesman said that in December last, they, in company with others employed in Deptford Dockyard, were sworn in as special constables, and Captain-Superintendent A. P. Eardley Willm ot had assumed the odic* of superintendent over all those who had been so sworn in, and bad required them to parade through the town of Deptford, headed by a bread. When they (the applicants) consented to be sworn in to act as special constables they bad no idea that they would be required to enter into any such display as parading. and un expressing their disinclination to do so, Captain Willmot had dismissed them from being special constables, and bad taken from them their badges and truncheons. Their object was to ascertain whether Cap tain Willmot had the power to dismiss them in this manner. Mr. Maude said that with respect to any arrangement which might have been made by Captain Willmott for dockyard purposes he bad no authority to interfere ; but as the applicants had been sworn in to act ss special con stables for the whole district they still remained as such, and on production of their warrants to the inspector of police truncheons would be supplied to them. The applicants thanked lila worship and retired. Mr. Goschen, M.P., was present, yesterday, at the annual meeting of the Liverpool Chamber of Com merce, and delivered en address on commercial topics. He spoke strongly in favour of a reform of the bankruptcy Tho Lancashire magistrates on Thursday ap pointed Colonel Brace chief constable for the county, in succession to Captain Elgee, who has resigned. Five can didates hrul been selected by the committee appointed for the purpose. The new cattle market was opened st South. - --- --- ampton on Friday. Nearly 100 oxen and 1,000 'beep were for sale there, nearly all of which were sold. The 'beep fetched from 7d. to td. per lb., and the oxen from 61d. to 71d. per lb. SEILIOVS STREET ACCIDEBT.—A Max BREAKING BOTH LEGS AND AMPUTATIoN.-ITIIIB Dar.)—This morn ing an accident of a serious character occurred at Guild ford-street, Brunswickequare, to Michael Careen, aged 60, a skin dryer, residing at 4, Trump-court, Bealembrstreet, Clerkenwell, whereby he broke both his legs, and re ceived other severe injuries. It appeared that the unfortunate man was in • cart along with another man who was driving a spirited pony, and when in Guildford - street the pony would not answer the call of the rein. The consequence was that the cart came in contact with a waggon drawn by three horses and heavily laden with brewers' grains, and the men were thrown out, Curran falling under the wheels of the waggon. Before the waggon could be stopped . the wheels pawed over both his legs. He was picked up in an insen sible state and conveyed to the Royal Free Hospital, Gray's.inn-road, where on examination it was found that his right leg was completely smashed, and that there was • compound fracture of the left. Mr. Gaol, one of tho staff-surgeons, assisted by Mr. Hopkins and Mr. Owen, the house-sargeons, amputated the right leg, and, notwithstanding the loss of blood the unfortunate man unstained previous to reaching the hospital, and his advanced age, he is progreming favourably. EXTRAORDINARY FLOOD AT KESWICK.—ThiII neighbourhood was visited with very heavy storms of wind and rain on the evenings of Friday and Saturday morning last, so that the riven overflowed their banks, and the two lakes of Dement and Baseenthweite were joined together, and appeared one vast sheet of water, something similar to that of February 5, DWI. When the water; went down, it was found that very little damage had been doss with the exception of a few trees having been blown down on the Derwentwater Bay estate, belonging to Sir John Woodford, and a portion of the new fence leading down to the church having been also swept sway. The salmon which were literally swanning in Km river Greta and Der went, have, since the flood, almost entirely disappeared. — Werrawredird Gazette. EPIDEMIC AT WOOLWICH.—Woolwich, PlnDi stead, sad Charlton, which suffered so severely from typhus fever three years ago, and also in the resent eholera visitation, are spin the scans of another severe epidemic, viz., small-pox. The unusual ;renditions which have given rise to the extensive and sudden outbreak are unknown and likely to be investigated by the Privy Coun cil. No class of persons seem exempt from attack. The rich and well fed are seized in common with the poor and destitute. The district between the Royal Arsenal and Dockyard is almost penis-stricken. The citrate of Holy Trinity, in whose district it lies, has himself caught the Infection in his ministrations to the sick. The Sanitary Committee of the Local Board of Health are actively engaged in combating with the epidemic, and have applied to the Metropolitan Asylum Board for a hospital to he erected for the reception of the patients.

The amount on the way from Australia is moderate, but the next telegrams are expected to announce increased shipments since the duty wu to be' taken off gold on the let of January. Most of the railway stocks have given way, the moat important movement being in Great Eastern and Caledonian. The reaction in the latter security has been caused by a renewal of some large speculative operations for a fall. Foreign bonds are still inquired for, and better in several cases. A large amount of business has been transacted in the Viceroy of Egypt's loan, at improved quotations. The discount market is very inactive, and the, quotation for choice bills shows no alteration. In the Stock Exchange there is little or no demand for short loans, at 1 per cent. ruary 7 : We have to report an extremely quiet market in silk; hopes have been entertained from time to time that a re vival was at head, but thus far all have ended in dis appointment. We hose occasional forced sales at con tinually easier prices, but all has hitherto failed to draw out buyers. In the meantime stocks have rather increased. This, however, is seariely likely to continue ; we may have another month of ‘oniloratively hogs arrivals, but after that we may reasonably expect to see a more or leas gra dual diminution in the stocks. During the last two or three days we have had more frequent inquiries, leading to the belief that buyers are anxiously watching the mar ket with a view to purchase as soon as they feel the moment for action has enived, but thus far we have a very small busine , s. The deliveries are upon the limited scale of the las: six months, in some measure to be accounted for by the diroc: importations to the continent. Japan silk shares the general quiet, although the stock has been gradually - shrink.ng and is sow really small. Ie Bengal silk we have nothing of moment ; the deliveries are comparatively favour:Ode. The next periodical public sales are fixed to co4..oeticte ou the 19th instant. Messrs. Sillar and Datentan's monthly tea cir cular remarks as under . : The tea market has remained very firm throughout the past month. The pullie sales on the 4th and Mb passed with fair spirit, and tL, , advsnce in common black and red ' leaf teas noticed in our hi-monthly report has been fully maintained. The deliveries for London in January amount to 11,754,6431b5. The bonded stock in the United King dom we estimate on the slot ult., including all arrivals, at Kl,ooo,ooolbs. against 144,000,0001 b.. had year. The gum thy afloat, due by the 7th March, is '2'2,000 ,000 lbe.avitist estimated deliveries of 11,000,0001ka. The stock will then reach its maximum, and from that date it will decrease month by month until August and September, when it will probably touch a lower figure than we have witnessed since the year 14.12, when the minimum stock wee Zr 0,400,0001115., the tool deliveries at that time being only 61.800,000165. for the twelvemonths, with a duty of 24.2.01. per lb. In 0,:t0 . .er, IKag, the stock was mimed to 54,000,0006 e., the deliveries for tho year king 10,500,0001b5., and the dut la sd. per lb. Advieee from China still maintain that t he total shipments will fall fam @adorably tsbort of thoseof last season. Should this prove correct, our stock will be reduced to little more than equal to four month's deliveries before the new teal arrive. Official accounts show the house consumption and export from this country last year to have been 14.1,000,0001ba- or within one million pounds of our estimate. . _ • Consols are quoted 931 to 1 for money and the account (March 5), and the Three per Cents.

It was • question with regard to the infringement of a patent for the manufacture of capsules which had been taken out by Mr. Betts. In the court below Vice-Chancellor Wood held that an injunction ought to issue, whereupon the defendants appealed. The Lord Chancellor said that a considerable body at evidence had been gone into for the purpose of showing user of the invention long prior tothe date of the plaintiff's patent, but the defendant's whole ease of user was far from satisfactory, and was met by opposite proof on the part of the plaintiff which was irresistibly strong. With regard to the question of infringement, the capsules were not used merely for ornament but for a useful purpose and the employment of an article for the purpose for which it was designed constituted its active use. In his opinion there had been an active use of the capsules by those who first placed them on the bottles, and by those who bad them in possession afterwards; and the court could not see how it should be no user, because England was not the final destination of the bottles. With respect to the decree for an inquiry as to damages as well es for an account, before Lord Cairna's Act damages could only be proceeded for at law, but the object of that enactment was to enable ("mute of equity to deal with questions of damages. There was nothing, there fore, to prevent the court awarding damages as well as an account where relief could not be obtained without an account. Under the circumstances, he held the decision of the Vice-Chancellor to be right in that repeat • and upon a full review of the whole case he a ffi rmed the decree of the court below, and d ismissed the appeal with costs. BETTS T. Dt VITRI AND OTHIBB. This was also an appeal from the decision of Viee-Chan• cellor Wood, who bad granted an injunction to restrain the defendants, the Winishurst Patent Metal Foil and Sheet Metal Company (Limited), from manufacturiag any material similar to or only ooloarably differing from the material discovered by the plaintiff, and from doing any act whereby the exclusive privileges granted to the plaintiff by letters patent might be in any manner pre judiced. Tbo Lord-Chancellor, in delivering judgment to-day, said that in this case the questions were precisely the same as in the case of Bette v. Neilson, and although the evidence was not exactly similar, it was so mach of the same character in both that he might refer to the decree he had just pronounced for his decision in the present suit. The decree of the Vice-Chancellor must be affirmed, and the appeal dismimed with mats. EQUITY COURT. (Before Vier Chancellor Sir W. Page Wood.) ' EX PARTE HERALD'S COLLEGE. Mr. Amphlett y Q.C., red in support of a petition by the Corporation of the nivante and Heralds of the College of Heralds, Doctor's-commons, preying that out of a sum of 7,:l00/., which had been paid into oourt by the Metmpolitan Board of Works for a part of the petitioners estate, a sum of 2,1501. should be paid out at once to the petitioners, and the rest carried over to their account, with liberty to apply.
