.11 3 ORTING INTELLIGENCE. TEE BOHAI& AND YORK AUGUST MEE'II2 , IOB. TO THE EDITOR Or TER ICIPIZNI. 8111,—It ie not very encouraging that long od is aboidil be laid on three of the 200 candidates for the St. Leger, or that an Ebor Handicap field is reduced to about half-a-dozen ; nevertheless, a brilliant campaign iu the worth may be confidently looked forward to, horses have got into strong work again, s ome most interesting events having to be decided at York, Don caster, and Richmond. Sportsmen can spend a month in the most enjoyable manner .doin/' there meetings, as they can shoulder their gun and ' up the spare time on the moors, and thereby set themselves up or the three weeks at Newmarket that are to be so unusually busy. Certainly they may not make up each good bags as they expect, the birds being too strong and wild to be brought down at all easily, as is testified by the price per brace on the 16th ncarlf doubling that of the 12th and 13th, but they will get all the more excitement and healthy epereise to make amends, and if the fates are only propitious when they fight the ring in the Isthmian games, it will prove a pleasant holiday enough. The fielders, however, will take some beating both at York and Doncaster, judging from the bills of fare ; and many " punters " will doubtless prefer a sojourn in the south to participate ia the good things served up by certain cliques that are always so much at home at really "holiday" gatherings. Four of these take place during the current week, the ball being opened at Egliani aq Monday afed Tuesday, but with rather a poor bill of fake, mgbA atihmeribbrs and three aeoeptaneet for the Surrey and Mllese. x Stakes being Mich a dire Whim that it is quite on the card the reporters will have 10 announce "no race." Seringo.patam and Breach of Promise take the eye in the Duke of Edinburgh Cup, as does also Lady lavender in the Prince of Wales's Plate, with A&lOus in the Baron's Handicap, and Hue and Cry in the Handi.mp Sweep. It is impossible to dispose of the York bill of fare at a sitting ' one day's racing depending so much on the preceding that three meals must be made out of it. And heavy they will be, too, thirty-two items being in the monster broadsheet lying before me, so that, with some hundred and twenty lots of blood stock to be sold during the three mornings, those who mean to see and do everything will have little spare time. It is to be feared that many of the things advertised will have to go back, from a lack of yearling purchasers this season ; and the best sale un doubtedly will be that of the Fairfield squire on Tuesday, to make room for which the committee of the races have seturned to the old style, commencing operations on Wed nesday instead of Tuesday. On the first day we have every description of stake, the weight-for-age Zetland that closes overnight being a sort of trial, after which some three interesting juvenile spins, the same number for three-year-olds, a handicap, a selling &flair, and a four-year-old stake. The latter may come to nothing, with only the roaring Sir Oliver and the lame Wroughton in, as neither can fairly gallop the three-year-old Bien 'dal course. A most exciting straggle is to be. expected for this latter stake, a great deal depen ding upon how St. Ronan (84 131 b), the Sawyer (bet 101 h), and Bineskin (bet 131 b) perform as to what outsiders are really _"in " the t. Leger. The trio are opposed by the Herald (bet 61b), Clairon (fist 131 b), Harvester (get 51b), Vale Royal (Set 101 b), Bosnerges (Set 61b), Viscount (Bst Nab), and some fi ll ies, not one of which can stay—a fail ing that all the above, except Blueskin, may be addicted with more or less, or it would not be n to look for the winner beyond Vale Royal. Yet t. Ronan beat him in the Two Thousand, this presumed " piper" laving run so well in the Derby that he is as worthy of fionfidence as anything, those who couple Blueskin with hie saintship being the moat likely to bathe mark. Half of the " cracks" in the Yorkshire Oaks would prefer the eourse were it two furlongs under instead of over the mile, and I know of nothing more capable of the journey than the Duke of Hamilton's and Mr. Pad wick's allies, which will probably be Leonie and Athena. The pair have met many times, and on the last occasion over a mile for the Nassau at Oood- wood, when bionic, won by half a length, with 21be. the beet of the weights. Subsequently Athena ran fourth in the Chesterfield Cup with a good weight, thereby raining doubts se to the correctness of the running, and as this is a mile and a quarter spin, I shall give the preferenee to Athena. The Old Produce is the remaining throe-year old count in the first day's list, and the lees said about it the better, as it is a problem which is the worst two-miler out of Mother Newham, Slanderer, Skedaddler, Happy Thought, and Queen of Beauty—a quintet not worth the value of the stake, unless the records sadly belie their form. Vint on the list of two-year-old events conies the Convivial L wherein Lades (9st 31b), Vestminster (9st 11b), Standard Bearer (Bst 71b), Acaster (9st), Minaret (Set 131 b), Sea Breese (( Set 7M), and Agrippa (Bst 121 b) are the champions of public form. They are not a brilliant lot, and hence SUathnairn (Bst 101 b) need not be quite so good as his brother to win, whilst if Archduke is a proper investment at 33 to 1 for the Derby, be also must be re spected. But it is not improbable that Mr. Naylor will trust to Sea Breeze, a promising colt by Carnival, that ran second to Venetia at Reading, and then Strathnairn will be worth plumping for. The latter and Standard Bearer are also in the Juvenile Stakes, with another of good private repute, the well-bred Fairminater ; and as the Duke of Beaufort does not see York, they have only to pull out Strathnairn for him to have an easy teak to win, though not so easy an one as Belladrum in the Black Duck Stakes, his opponents being so little known to fame that Mr. Merry could probably win with the useful Crocus . - in his stead. They are an indifferent lot in the Chesterfield Handicap, and Vortigern being penalised! hardly know how to make a choice, for Donaldbain, the Priest, and the Dean are all in one swim," and Russian Bear, Beesie Dixon, and Ainsley ID another ; and per haps di only one of the six may te 'wanted, the probabili ty being that that will prove the winner. The Bear ran 3 , at Stockton, or he would look a capital thing ; still it is unfair to notice such a race as that for the Stewards' Cup, the start, owing to a blunder of the advance-flagman, being a most unsatisfactory one. Could any cognizance be taken of the result the talent would have to knock the Spy out of the market for the Ebor Handicap, as the Sawyer he had such a difficulty in beating on Thursday was "nowhere" to Mercury, who eould not win with Get, say the Tabouret men. He has now the highest three-year-old weight, let 51b, thanks to a 10Th penalty, and is quite out of the hunt, it being a sin gular fact that of the twenty left in a dozen have been in public since the declarations were made on the 4th. Of these, Three per Cent., Honesty, Ilium, Donaldbain, the Makeshift colt, and Mae Osborne performed badly : and nothing very startling was accomplished by the Spy, Mandrake, Taraban, or Wild Briar, though they did not incur ruinous penalties like Mercury and Strath conan. The latter is very fond of the Knavesmire, but must be shut out with Pet 41b, which is 231 b more than Taraban has on his back, and Mandrake (who was handi capped within 21b of the grey originally) had some trouble to give him the odd 31b last F'riday. I cannot help think ing Taraban would be a capital investment did he only run independently of the Spy, who is, however, evidently carrying the stable confidence in preference to the old rogue, to the delight of the Tabouret clique, as they con eider him held safe enough on the Goodwood running, where it was evident Butler could licit rest the Melton pet out. It is strange, nevertheless, that Mandrake should be at a price like 100 to 15 while Tabouret is at 2 to 1, and It can only be thought that he is merely a cover for the larger outlay on the young one, for unless Taraban and Fervacques are " d -ad," it does not seem feasible he can give them the weight. Perhaps Dawson and Scott, as I suggested many days ago, arc really going to have the race left them to do as they please with, and then the trick might be attempted with the low"-priced Mandrake; yet it is to be hoped Fervacqucs will always be in the way, with Buttercup. Did Ilium Inns up alive, too, the race would not be so easily managed, for it is a moot point whether Tabouret can give him 51b. At present, however, there is nothing to make me regret having stood by the latter from the first, and I shall probably have to plump for him again, as in the Goodwood Stakes, when finally disposing of the Ilbor on Wednesday. It is impossible to properly treat the Great Yorkshire Stakes until the Biennial is decided ; but I have no little confidence in finding Strathconan "the pea" for the York Cup.—l am, &c., METEOR.

The plaintiffs in this cans were the assignees of • bank rupt named Militia Convelea, lately a cotton merchant carrying on business in Manchester, and the defendant a Oreek merchant at Liverpool, from whom it was sought to recover the sum of 1,000!. alleged to have been fraudu lently paid them by CouvelOs. Mr. Maniety, Q.C. and Mr. B. O. Williams appeared for the plaintiffs ; and Mr. Bolter, Q.C., and Mr. Bryce for the defendant. In opening the ease, Mr. Maoist, said that the action was brought by the assignees of a person named Couvelas, who had become bankrupt, to recover from Mr. Papa yanni the sum of 1,0001., which, it was alleged, the bank rupt paid to him under circumstances which, on the part of the plaintiffs, he (the learned counsel) had to submit was an illegal payment, the bankrupt having made a fraudulent preference, and therefore the defendant could not retain the money as against the assignees. The jury found for the plaintiffs for the full amount claimed. The learned Judge refused to reserve any point, but consented to stay execution. OXFORD CIRCUIT.—OXFORD, Atfaverr 15.

This was the last cause for trial, and the learned judge had deferred hearing it in the hope that he and the court might be saved from the infliction of listening to its filthy details. The parties, however, were determined not to listen his lor to any pacific overtures. This being announced to ds • Mr. Justice hip, Ryles said the case was one tliat defiled both the parties, and ought never to have been brought into that court. His brother Pigott had said he would not defile his note book by taking notes of it. He (Justice Byles) would not ray that. His motives for not trying it might be misunderstood, and he should not refuse to try it ; but be would say that he thought it brought disgrace on the court, the counsel, and everybody. He was quite sore, however, that the counsel endeavoured to do their duty. The trial then proceeded, and proved fully an disgusting as his lordship had anticipated. Mr. Huddieston, Q.C., and Mr. Jell were counsel for the plaintiffs; and Mr. Powell, Q.C., and Mr. Sawyer for the defendant. The case ended in a verdict for the plaintiffs— damages, 40s. GREAT NORTH UN RAILWAY. The report of the directors was published on Saturday. It sham that the grans receipts and expendi ture on capital account to the 30th Juno are an follows: Receipts, 18,339,7131. 15e.; expenditure, 18,244,4961. Bs. bd. ; balance, 93,2171. 6s. 4d. The company have re ceived 119,4301. during the half-year on account of the balance of the 6 per cent. Permanent Preference Stock, and 19,0721. on mortgage. The expenditure includes pay ments of 40,1241. for land, 87,0921. for wean:, 25,0901. being this company's one-third share towards the con struction of the joint Cheshire lines, and 35,390/. for new enpnee. The revenue accounts for the past half-year show an increase in the receipts of 12,8511.,. and a decrease in the expenditure of 11,617/. The receipts from the coaching and merchandise traffic may, considering the depreloW state of the trade of the country, be deemed satisfactory the fotmer shows an increase o f 27,7261., and the latter of 12,2624 On the other hand, an unusually mild winter, and the long-continued hot and dry weather, have caused a considerable diminution in the consump tion of coal. The tonnage carried was less than in the corresponding period by 126,000 tons, and the revenue derived therefrom is reduced by 27,961/. The withdrawal of nearly the whole of the Midland goods traffic has also lessened the company's receipts. During the half-year ended June, 1867, the toll received from the Mid huidCompany amounted to 31,3081, while in the last half year 16,3461. only was derived therefrom. A very satis factory reduction has been effected in the expenties of the locomotive departmeut, while at the same time, the stock has been maintained in its full efficiency. Twenty-one en gines have been renewed, and 18 carriages a:W=7 waggons rebuilt. The works of the line have also been well main tained : rather mese than 30. miles him been renewed with heavy iron and steel rails, as oomparned with 29 in 1867. The engineer has wider his charge about 40 miles; more than in the corresponding period, which has occa sioned a small increase of expenditure in his department. Notwithstanding the decrease in the coal traffic, the diminution of 14.7621. in the Midland toll, and the addi tional dividend of 30,2811., payable in respect of new stock, the net available balance will enable the proprietors to declare a dividend at the rate of 41. be. per cent. per annum on the original stock, giving for the half year, 21. 2a. 6d. to the original stock. 31. to the B stock, 11. be. to the A stock, leaving . a balaneep be carried to the next half-year of 3,2371. against 641. in the corresponding period last year. 1 a*p much none favourabk thee wee expected, and tats and Leann very ensarderahly In low an avcraw. foe har slet beam over, (mu acre art now tcatieg to market in gron•eg forte, arid to-day we have had'he lorgret sLew of at at teat her been tern for many weeks past. .‘t.

Hyacinth and Maier did not appear at the station; but the rest were formed in a beautiful line in front of Ryde Pier. At 9 o'clock precisely the signal was given for starting, the wind then blowingS.S. W., the course being to the eastward; and never has there been seen a more beautiful start. The atmosphere was remarkably clear, and the most minute details of every vessel could clearly be seen. The Fione cutter was the first to distinguish herself above the rest, and she went away like a shot, followed by the Pantomime and Menai, with Goshawk to leeward. The Egeria was well to windward, and outside the Aline, followed by the Condor and Cambria. They all made a reach towards the Horse Shoe Sand, and at the time they passed Banbridge Lodge the Fione had still the lead. The details of the race must be deferred. . . The following are the times of arrival of the competing yachts at Cherbourg: _ .. _ Aline Cambria Candor Flom Guinevere H.

The Condor being a vessel of a different rig (cutter), as the first vessel in that class, takes the second prize. The Mine besides taking this prize has been the winner of many others during the present season, and Mr. Sutton has just reason to be proud of such a vessel. There will be two races back from Cherbourg to Rple, one being a e cize of the value of 501., presented by Capt. Cosby Lov ett, open to all schooners and yawls belonging to the Royal ictoria Yacht Club, and a similar prize of 501., presented by Mr. James Ashbury (owner of the Cambria), open to all cutters belonging to the Royal Victoria l'aeht Club.

Prima are steadier. There baa been some attempt to get rather higher mien, but it has bad the effect of checking businms However, the sales arc supposed to have been nearly equal to production, and there ap pears Lobe a little more confidence amongst produoers, a good many of whom are now under contract for moderate periade. - The small stock of Minds cotton which existed a few weeks ago has now expanded through recent arrival from India to 168,000 balm, and the total stock is 677,000. The consequence of the increased neck of bursts has been to cause a rather greater difference in the relative value of goods made from Indian and American staple. The feature of the market at the close of the week is, that while spinners and manufacturers using American cotton only can command rather better terms, those using Bursts, or bursts in mixture, can afford rather easier rateathen before. There is a great impeovirnent, however, in Indian staples of cotton, and a greater choice, some of them fetching nearly as high prices from mummy as American. Low numbers of export yarn and 18's and and Ws water twist are quoted Id. dearer by sellers than last week, but German buyers appear unwilling to give it, and for India the small advance on 80's water twist and 40's mule yarn checks operations. Fine yarns, single and doubled, are in only moderate request. Home trade yams are Id. per lb. dearer, and to have done a moderate business at the advance. F=ll. B4 =r a good deal of cloth taken at last week's rates, and a fair amount of orders placed ; but makers of shirting", madapollania, and printing cloths are now asking lid. to M. per piece higher rates than on Tuesday. This advance, as a role. bx::will not give, though where goods have been wanted accepting the lower advance have been willing to get on a little. There are some good offers still in the market at Tuesday's rates. Demestim and T-cloths ars unaltered in price, but more saleable, and a good deal of business is reported in Mexican T cloths at a shade better values.. A fair business has also been done in jaconete and mulls at full prices. LACE AND HOSlERY.—Nornsomis, Al , llll . 15.—There ham been km doing in the lace trade during the week, especially in the cotton department. The demand for plain nets is very quiet, as indeed it hail been for some time past. There is not much doing in curtains, and other branches of the fancy trade are quiet. Mechlin do not sell freely. Fine numbers of lace yarns have been rather easier, mane numbers as before. In the silk department business has been without material alteration. If anything white laces are rather less in request, while black lacessell a shade more freely. There is not much doing in silk mechlina or quilling.. The demand for figured nets is pretty fair. Raw silk remains high in prioc. The hosiery trade is in a satisfactory state for the time of the year. There is a tolerable demand for home consumption. The shipping trade is rather quiet. There is no material change in hosiery yarns. WOOL AND WORSTED. Basnroao Almon. 15. The wool market has been very quiet during le past week. The transactions have been small and unimportant and to supply ab solute wants. The demand is still confined to the choices* lustre such as York•hire, Kent, Stafford, and Irish hors, other sorb in little request. Staplers have reduced their stocks, and seem to increase them, and holders of wool am busily engaged in harvest operationa, and are quite indifferent as to the sale of their wool. There is, however a tone of confidence and cheerfulness prevailing and the quo tations of good wools have a tendency upward. If staplers were inclined to make a slight 0311C0.600 they might have customers. These is not much banners doing in wonted yarns. There has, however, been considerable inquiry as the part of export merchants, riving pro mise of a revival in business my shortly. There is a steady business doing on home account. There is most doing in lustre and coloured wefts; 50's are also in fair request. Oenappe and two-fold yarns are gr eatl y neglected. Most spinners are well employed, and maintain =a with firmness. The same languor characterises the Om Manufacturers engaged in employed on old contract;, and many merchants are in receiving from them goods for shipment or otherwise. there is little new business, quotations have a tendency ug= HARDWARE.—Biantroues, Aeocsr 15.—The trade of this town is quiet ; In respect of many of the principalstaple branches Winnow is moderate ; the edge-tool Eakin matinee to report somewhat unfavourably, especially such of them as are dependent cm the export trade. pre and chandelier makes are doing better, and the metallk Wetted makers are tolerably well engaged. The jewellery report a more active demand for the better class of goods. In the metal trades generally slackness Ia experienced ; and on Mande; the priee ef bran end copper wire was redused one half-penny per lb. In the foreign the merehante are not slow to give out their order.. Stril ment egard to both the United States and Canada a good amount is being done; and the rate of exchange with Rio being a shade more favourable, there is a pricepeet of renewed life in our own trade to that quarter. The Australian trade is about up to the average ; and more is being done ou mount of Japan. COAL AND IRON.—MIDDLBOBOIIOI3On, AVOVRT 15.—Trade may on the whole be stated to be improving in this district as re gards iron, although during the prevent week the visit of Prime Arthur and the Stockton nioes have greatly interfered with regu lar work, and very little has been stone except at the blast fur naces. Next week, however, will see all the works busy. There ham been mere inquiry for rails Lately, and some pretty good orders have been secured at rather more remunerative rates. One of the largest mills in the north, which has been standing for nearly twelve months, has tine week been put into full work at Darlington. There have been good deliveries of rails for New Orleans and Russia. Plates and shipbuilding iron have scarcely been so much inquired after. Foundries are pretty fairly off for work. Pig iron is unchanged. Exports, which have been chiefly to Ruse= and Dutch port., have not been heavy. Scotland has been k r4 liberally of pig iron. Prices quoted to-day at Yid dkabon Exchange are :—No. 1, 4115.; No. 3, 435. ; No. 4, rats. In the trade inquiry hav not been very animated. Stocks are increasing at some of the collieries where they have not adopted abort time. There is rather a better feeling reported in the L3U don market. Shipments, however, are dull. Quantithe sent by rail are larger. . CORR.-Yoke, ACOUPIT 16.-Harrod with has born inter rupted daring the week by showers. Still a good deal of grain has been housed, and, should the weather continue favourable , the grain will all be speedily garnered . There was a fair show of new wheat and very little old at our Corn Exchange to-clay. New samples met a fair inquiry. and changed hands Sena 2+. per qr. over them of last week. White, 60a. to 66 5. ; 565. to 625. per qr. There was a very small show of barley, prices may be quoted rumens on the previous week-via., 40s. to ati. per qr. The supply of oats Ism meagre. Farmers tried to establish an advance of Od. to Is. per qr., but wore not generally successful, and the full rates of last week must be written --30 s. to 325. per 24 stone. Beans were not much inquired for; but, the show being small, holders were firm in demanding former currencies namely, 51s. to 535. per qr. Malt ranged from 68s. to 70. i. per qr. Rye realised 425. per qr. Flour. 445. to 46.. per 1,11. k of Mlba. Asa,. ea, Arouse 16.-At this corn market yesterday the at tendance woe large, but the supply small. The new wheat mime to hand in capital condition, but nevetthelees the demand was quiet, though prim were fully supported. The quotation ranged from 481. to eoe. Barley was coy scantily offered, and prices did not exceed 425. per quarter. Oats were arm, at Ws. to MP. per unites. Beaus and peas an inactive trade. Flour firm. At Badngdoke there were good sales of wheat, at an advance of 2.4. per quarter. The range of prices was from Ns. to 63., with an of 54a. per quitter. Barley made up to quarter, average t m ire sales were limited. Oats also were a small parcel, but they averaged up to 29e. id. Beans were firm at 4136. to 50s. Pea made 40s. to 0.. RATH, AUGUMT 15.-The supply, SI well as the attendance, was small at our corn market this morning. There was a fair, not to my active, demand for wheat, prima of which advanced 21. to 3s. pet quarter. The range was Ns. to 613. Bexley is still a nominal trade, the new crop not having yet made its appearance. Oats and beans were firm, at an wide a range as Ms. to 365. for the former, and 20a. to Us. for beaus. Seconds flour is selling at 425. to 45a. per sack. Our reports from other fiontersetehire markets state that rain had fallen copiously, and: have greatly freehand the land. Wheat hes advanced xs. per quarter generally, and juices, it is exyected, will not be lower than they arc now, but rather the revene. Bread is selling at 6d. to 6.l j d. the 41b. loaf. Doscarres, Auouirr 16.-Since we laidwrote, the much-want - 11 article, rain, has fallen in what may be called, considering the eircumstunece, pretty heavy showers. On Tuesday welted heavy thunder showers which were followed on Thursday by further rain, and last night we had spain a • smart fall. This has been felt to have been of groat ad ' though it is net mil client to martially Mimeo the pastures, .and on some lands tannery have been induced to re-sow turnips. With retail to the 00111 crops we may add, with the exception of a small brealth •of barley, these is nothing temaning inthie nehrhavarbool to be gathered, and the ge neral result may be summed ein as follows: -The wheat crop is the best we have had for many years, THE POLICE COURTS. MANBIO/4 7 H01M. A boy who gave the irnmeeffretieride Oat, and said he was 12 years old, was brought before the Lord Mayor ou a charge of theft. The prisoner was of a very diminutive appearance, being only 42 inches in height, but he had a singularly large and irregular-shaped head, which made his small stature more apparent than it would otherwise have been. His hands, on the contrary, were small and similar to those of a child 5 or 6 years of age. John Fleming, an assistant to Mr. George Mills, sta tioner, Old Jewry, said that between 8 and 9 o'clock on the previous night, while packing up some parcels, he heard a noise in front of the shop. He went out to see what was the matter sad saw the prisoner with a brass thumb-screw in his matter, sad 2a. 6d., which he had taken from the shutter. Witness caught him and lifted him into the shop, and he then dropped the screw and said he had not taken it. A constable was then sent for, and he was given into custody in order % that something might be done for him. The witness Fleming said that some time ago he himself had a shop in the Tottenham court-road, and that the same lad stole some cigars from it. John Carlyle,676, who took the prisoner into custody, said he was an illegitimate child, and had been brought up by a man named Holt, who was now in court. Holt stood forward, and said he was a fishmonger, re siding in Husband-street, Otford-street. The boy waa no relation of his, but he had brought him up from his infancy. He had been a great trouble to him, and would not go to school. About a month ago he was brought up at the Marlborough-street Police-court f& singing uothe Haymarket- The mother of the boy (Holt continued) had not bought him an clothes, and had paid very little money for turn. He (Holt) and his wife had charge of another child belonging to the same woman, but it died three months ago. It was two months old. They took it because they thought the mother would pay up the money she owed them. . - .. — The constable produced a pane-book, which contained an entry to the effect that the prisoner was born in the St. Cliles's workhouse on the 12th September, 1846, and also recording the payment of smalls sums for hie support by the mother. Holt said the entry was made by his " and that she had the care of four or five other children besides her The Lord Mayor directed the constable to take the boy to St. James's Workhouse. BOW-STREET. Mr. Flowers gave his decision, inthe case of the Bread Machinery Company, heard on the previous Saturday. The charge against the company was that they had not complied with the requirements of the Companies Act, in having the name of the company painted up on the out side door of their office; and that they had not registered a list of shareholders since April, 1867. The defence was that in consequence of the change of office there had not been time to get the alteration painted up, but that it was done the day before the summons was taken out; and that as there bad been no general meeting of the shareholders in 1867, there was no necessity for registering the second list, which according to the act was to be done within a fortnight after a general meeting. Mr. Flowers dismissed tie summons, as the name was actually . painted up before the summons was granted, and because it was shown that the list of shareholders for 1867 might still be registered within the prescribed time. WESTMINSTER. James Edward Balkatywe, a respectable-looking man, was finally examined, charged with unlawfully killing and slaying Stephen Soper on August 1 at King's-road, hebea. — Mr. W. D. Smyth, solicitor, defended. A coroner's inquest has been held, and a verdict of man slaughter returned against the prisoner. It appeared from the evidence for the prosecution that on the evening in question the deceased, a friend, and prisoner were in the Five Bells Tavern, and some conver sation took place about a horse prisoner said he had sold for 20/. ' • deceased said it was twenty years old, and offered to beck that statement for 51., exhibiting the gold ; his Mend took him outside, and the prisoner followed and struck him ; he fell on the back of his head. He was taken home insensible, and a womannamed Mary Hooper, who passed as his wife, said he was suffering until the fol lowing Wednesday, when she sent for a doctor, and le died on the Friday, In crass-ezatnination it was elicited that both were the worse for liquor. Mary Hooper denied striking the deceased on the Saturday night. Could not recollect whe ther she seized him by the hair of the head and shook him. On the Wednesday he fell out of bed, and then she sent for the doctor. Dr. George Rawbone, of Ring's-road, Chelsea, proved that on the Wednesday deceased suffered from tits caused by pressure on the brain. He was not sensible, and died on the Friday. Witness made a post-mortem examination of the head. Death was attributable to concussion of the brain, caused by a blow or fall. The effusion was very gradual, on account of the smallness of the ruptured vessels, and that accounted for the length of time that elapsed between the injury and death. There were two marks on the head. In cross-examination Dr. Rawboue said if medical aid had been called in earlier there might have been a chance of saving the life of the deceased. Mr. Synth made an energetic appeal to the court on behalf of the prisoner. Mr. Selfe said it was a case he could not withdraw from the consideration of the jury, but he would take hail in 2.5!. for prisoner's appearance at the trial. Rail was put in. He was removed to the House of Detention. GREENWICH. Heart, William Thomas, Thome* Baha-e, and William note,: firemen on board the steamer Eider, lying in the Thame s, were charged before /dr. Partridge (who rat for Mr. Patteeon) with having in their possession 181 b. of foreign manufactured tobacco, on board the said ship, and in respect of which duty had not been paid. George William Byles, an officer of Customs, said that on the snivel of the Eider from Toning, he wont on board to rummage the vessel, and inside a wooden bin, which was encased with iron, and ran across the c ral bunker, nearly from one side to the other, he found, in geniously concealed , sixteen packag es of cavendiah tobacco, weighing 181 b. For some time it had been sus pected hat systematic smuggling took place on board the ship, but the beam in question had never before been de tected . Witness questioned the prisoners, and they ac knowledged that each bad an equal portion of the tobacco, and they were taken into custody. Taking each share, the value and duty would be 27a. The prisoners said that what the officer bad stated was quite correct. Mr. Partridge said the prisoners had rendered them selves liable to a fine of 1001. each, or six months' impri sonment. They would now pay treble the value and duty, 4/. Is. each (in all 16/. 45.), or one month's imprisonment. The prisoners were removed in custody.
