(Before the Lord Chief Justios sad Mr. Justice Solids.) BANMSTICE V. BOOTHKAII. This was an action to recover damages for libel, and at the trial at Liverpool the jury found for the defendant. Mr. Temple, Q.C., now moved for • rule for a new trial upon the grounds of misdirection, cad that the verdict was against the evidence. The plaintiff was the clerk to the Board of Health of Accrington, and in the month of August last there was an election of a mem ber of the board. On that occasion the defendant, a ratepayer, printed bad posted all over the district • placard on which he stated that the plaiatiff, as trustee to the estate of his brother, • former clerk to the board, had sent In • bill for cervices rendered, and sub's quietly being ashamed of what he had done, and tog afraid of being disgraced by the claim, he • with. drew it by getting the matter referred to the finance committee, and it bad never been heard of since. This was the libel complained of, and in the course of the met the plaintiff deposed that there was no truth in it, that he had sent in no claim, and that it had, in fact, been made by the accountant appointed in the course of some Chan. coy proceeding. At the conclusion of the plaintiff's case Mr. Pickering, Q.C., for the defendant, submitted that ger mast be a Donau* upon the ground that the state. meet was a privileged communication by • ratepayer to his fellow ratepayers and further, that ft was only a fair comment upon public matters. Mr. Baron Martin, who Flooded, said that he could not stop the use., because the pry must say whether the publication was a libel or not. The jury thereupon said that they were of opinion that it was not a libel, and his lordship added that he was of the same opinion. It was now submitted that what had fawned amounted to misdirection. lir. Justice Smith—lt could not be misdirection, because the judge had not spoken until after the verdict. Br. Temple observed that he could not bring before their kniships all the modes by which a very demonstrative Mg. might make his opinion very plain and obvious to • jury. (Laughter.) He submitted this was a prima facie libel, cad that it was not a reasonable comment, because it made iadspindest allegations of fact. The Lord Chief Justice thought that there was no point of law involved in the facts brought before the court. The judge, in answer to an objection, bad made an observation in favour of the plaintiff, and thereupon the jury bad in terposed by saying that there was no libeL The court saw no ground for superseding this finding. Rule refused. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. During the morning Mr. William — Beery (hippo, Mr. John Robert Davison, and Mr. William Vernon Harcourt, all of the common law bar, having been raised to the dig. nit? of Queen's counsel, were called within the bar, with the customary formalities. THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) WORSIIIP-STREST. A TUILWAT WAND CONVICTED OF ISTILALING nom • RAILWAY TRA'N. Thomas Darey. a guard working on the North Woolwich line of railway, was charged with steeling from a lag pp van while on transit between Mile-end and Ipswich. Twist, formerly attached to the Metropolitan division of police, and now employed by Mr. Superintendent Kent, of the Great Eastern lice of railway as a detective, said—Yesterday morning I entered the back compart ment of a secuod class carriage in the 7.15 train, parliamentary, from London to Colchester, &to.; im mediately next to it was the luggage break van, and rcy instructions were to watch it. I got in at the Eishopegate terminus, and on reaching the Mile-end station—the first at which the train stops, I distisotly felt a vibration of the buffers as though some person was treading on them to pass over into the six-foot way or middle of the line. I looked through the window, sod, although it was nearly dark, perceived a man close to the luggage van standing as if privately engaged. As the train began to move off, however, he suddenly unlocked the door of the van, entered, and closed it. Just as the train entered Stratford the door was spin opened and he alighted with a basket and boodle which he did not have when he entered, sod made his way across to the opposite platform. I followed and called to him, said I wished to see the contents of his luggage, took him into asecond-clau carriage and found the bundle contained a sailor's jacket, and the basket a pair of boots. He said all were his own Property, and that he was going to take them to Woolwich. I conveyed him back to London and gave him up to my superintendent ; he wore his guard's uniform. Mr. Ellison—Do yen, prisoner, wish to ask any questions Prisoner—l wish to say that I did not cram the buffers. Mr. Henry Kent—l am superintendent of police oo the Gnat Eastern line. When the last witness brought the misuser to me I questioned the latter as to his possession of the articles. He said that they belonged to his brother-in-law, who was a foreman at Woolwich, and that be was, when taken into custody, going there with them ; he could not, however, Pm me any address of his relatives, but named his own as being at 40, Oxford-street, Whitechapel. I in stantly telegraphed to Ipswich for inquiry to be made as to any sailors having proceeded by the train in question, snd if so to ascertain whether they had lost anything. I then proceeded to Woolwich, made search for prisoner's brother-in-law, oould not learn about such a person, and on Morales; found an answer to my telegram that the owners of the property had been found, but not without some difficulty, as their luggage was fastened up so neatly it did lot appear to have been touched. The men are now pre sent by my direction to claim the thiogs, and their evidence will complete the case, sir. John Lewin and James Milne, both sailors, identified— the of them the jacket and the other the booth (him beat) ; they had seen their luggage placed,asfely in the broth van I mentioned. - - - Mr. Ellison—Am I to mama that you, Mr. Kent, placed the detective in the position he named in consequence of previous robberies by this means! Mr. Kent—There certainly had been robberies, sir, and I felt convinced that some person was prowling about who Was not likely to be suspected. The prisoner entered the Great Emigre Company's service as a porter about six years since, and has been a guard on the Woolwich line sight months. He is one of the last men who, from his _apparent good conduct , could be supposed guilty of stealing. when I told him that two sailors bad claimed the property sad were coming to London, he admitted having taken it from the van, declaring at the earns time it was his first offence. Prisoner—lt is I assure you, sir ; arid lam very sorry for 'hat I have done. Mr. Kent—Before the train started I took the precaution to have the door of the luggage van secured on the down side. so that it was compulsory to open that on the other. Mr. Ellison—Robberies by servants are at all times great off en am A certain amount of confidence must necessarily be placed in such persons, and where they succeed is avoiding detection and suspicios, at times the worst Moults follow to those who are perfectly incooset. Yours han especially bad case, and but foe these 'anon having its moored immediately to sea, thereby rendering it impos sible for them to attend before a jury, I would most cer tainly send you for trial, if only as a warning to others. As die, you must go for six months' hard labour. MARLBOROUGH.STB.EKT. CAPTURE or A TRENCH BURGLAR. Louis Denis, a Frenchman, with a very determined countenance, was charged before Mr. Knox with being on the balcony of the house No. 21. Leicester -ovate, with housebreaking implements in his pommies, for the purpose of committing a burglary. Pollercoosteble Francis Allwood, 186 0, said that &bent itquarter to 1 that morning he was paedsg along Leicester. Name, when be observed the prisoner bakeey of No. 21, close to the Alhambra. The prisoner wee toadies on by the railing of the haloony. Os asking the prisoner ' , hat he did there, he replied, " Me live hem" He afterwards said he did not He told the primmer to come claws, and he ' did so, and then wanes took him to the statics,. He after wards went back to the home, but not being able to get ad mission be got on the balcony, when be found a life pre server and a steel implismsot produced. (The implemsat is so constructed that though rather light it is very strong, it Ming' capable of being used either as a "Jemmy," or to push tack the catches of windows.) On searching the pri soner he found in hie pommies a letter addressed by the prisoner to the rheriffs, which showed that he had suffered la months' imprisonment for a burglary. Kr. Knox asked the constable whether there were any persons about at the time, and the constable said there were very few. He had no doubt the prisoner got up by mean, of some railings attached to a lamp. Mr. Knox said it was a serious case, and he should remand the prisoner. SNOWBALLING. Henry Hataion and Thomas Davis, two men, were c before Mr. Knox with saithltiog Mr. John Williams at No. 54, Princes•street, LeicesterYqoare, by throwing waybills at him. . Mr. Williams, who tarries on the business of a draper, mid that while openiog his shop that morning the prisoners and two or three other men who were passing threw snow balls it him. He told them to desist, but ipotesi of doing so they again pelted him with snowballs. He then gave the primers into custody. Francis Allwood, 186 C, said the complainant came up to him covered wit h snow, and complained of having been swanned by the prisoners. He took the prisoners into cus tody, when they did not deny throwing snowballs, but mid that they did not intend them for the complainant. Mr. Williams said he oonld swear they were intentionally thrown at him. Mr. Knox fined the Owens 10s. each, or seven days. LEllimas.-- THE EXPRXSEL WANDSWORTH. ALLEGED KIDNAPPING NT GlPSllll.—conarrAL TO • 81170131.17W1T. A boy, whou clothes were all rage, sad who gave the i t name oo of Joha Matthews, wasilsally examined on a charge of et, bing.gt Ito eau presented some way curious features. The boy St wrs under 14 years of use sad could not read or write. He la represented that he wee brought away from Peterborough I s it by glpeles who took all his good clothe , away from him. s t On the first examination, a gipsy woman from the camp fit in the York-road, Battersea, attended and stated that she se picked the boy up at some races and that B 1 he had bees with her ever duce. She also repro- at seated that he did not know his right name but Ll' since he had been with her he had 10110 by her name, that ; of Matthews. The boy, on the second examination, ex- i ss primed a wish now to return to the gipiiies, and he was re- fit mended for him to be sent to • reformatory, the police of 84 Spalding lariat sent a letter giving him an indifferent rho- St meter and stating that he was neglected by bis father. 10 On this oeceston the boy at last admitted that his name a wu John 11'llernosi, and that his father was a member of is a Baptist dispel. St Mr. Hayman thee sent bins to a refine* for homeless and destitute boys in Maneellstreet, Whitechapel, fore period Li of five years. He told the prisoner that he would hare an opportunity of going to school and bsoomiog a good member ; of society. fit The prisoner did not seem to approve of the arrangement, go for he commenced to cry, and laid he was going to be sent 81 to • reformatory. gI Mr. Dayman said be was not to be sent to a reformatory, SI but to a school, and it an depended upon hie god conduct L i whether they kept him. He would be taught • trade, and si if be only paid attention they world make a man of him. 14 The boy was then removed. 11 The reporter understood that the magistrate had kindly 81 „ forwarded a donation of 20 guineas from the poor-box to the ; society, which 'rid received other destitute boys from the cowl. A Futourrtm Draru.—On Tuesday morning, the 9th mat., O•orge Ohiloott, of Bridport, a mechanic, in the employ of thb rymore Lil Company, wee called by the fireman to assist him in letting off the surplus steam from the large engine worked on the premises. It appears the Ili fireman opened a valve to let off some steam close to the a fire-place. The discharge was ma powerful that he could not atop it. He then called George Chiloott to assist him, who got on the boiler to get at the safety valve. The place wee so densely filled with smoke that the poor man fell 1 off the boiler, • depth of eight feet, in front of the engine where the shm was blowing, and could not be removed for nearly three epistlers of as hour. When removed he was dead, and fearfully scalded. There is no blame attached to 1. any person. The deceased is a married mac, and leaves a wife and family.—Nierborne Journal. EXTRAORDINARY OAHE OF SHOOTING.—On Friday last a most extraordinary and deplorable circumstance on. 8 curved at St. Helios, Jersey, resulting in serious injury, S which it is feared will prove fatal, to a lad named Thomas 6 Horner. It apposes that this lad, in company with • com panion named Jabez 'Woods—both of them being pupils in u the Naval Training School at Gorey, io tho island—had been p out shooting birds, and when on their return home and near 14 the First Tower, on the St. Anbin's.road, Horner, in a joint. k lar manner, gave • challenge to Woods to shoot him, ap• li pending to the challenge the condition that Woods should t be well laughed at if he mimed him. Woods, who carried g his gun ready loaded with small shot, took up a position about 15 yards from Horner, who placed himself in the i middle of the roid for the purpose. Woods took deliberate Si aim, tired, and nearly the whole of the charge struck Horner 81 in the face, disfiguring him in • frightful mariner. The poor lad fell to the ground insensible, and was carried by male passen.by into • neighbouring public-house. A ic medical man from town was speedily on the spot and at- m tended to the sufferer, when it was found that be had coin- pletely lost the eight of hie right eye. He was conveyed a I with all speed to the General Hospital, and placed under the care of the medical officer of that establishment. The sufferer has endured intense pain from the shot wound+, si and up to the latest accounts there was but little prospect of his recovery. Woods, it should be stated, feels the tl greatest sympathy for his companion, whose life, by his thoughtless conduct, he has placed in such jeopardy. Si THE SrazErs OF LONDON.—Dr. Lankeeter held an inquiry at the Middlesex Hospital yesterday relative to the death of John George Barker, aged 11, who was killed in Oxford-street on Monday afternoon. From the evidence it appeared that the deceased was endeavouritg to cross the carriage way, and, as a precaution against accident, kept behind a cart or waggon loaded with furniture. When in the middle of the street he made a rush from the back of the waggon to effect a crossing, but was immediately knocked down by • Bayswater omnibus, the wheels of which passed over him, causing iostantaineous death. From the evidence of a witness who rode outside the omnibus it was proved that the driver could not have seen the deceased, and that therefore no blame attached to him. The coroner observed that it was very dangerous to keep behind a vehicle when crowing the street, and remarked upon the impropriety of putting pawsogars down out of omnibuses in the centre of the toed. The number of deaths in London from similar causes to the present was about 300 annually, but for every fatal tame there were at least 20 non-fatal street accidents. He was of opinion that if bridges were thrown across the principal streets people would use them, and many fatal accidents would be thus prevented. A ver dict of " Accidental death" was returned. AN UNFORTUNATE CALL —The Atilltive which was before us at once revealed the blunder we had com mitted, and the unpremeditated glance which the mortified baronne shot at us told us it was irreparable. What would we not have given for a trapdoor just at that mo ment ! The baronne, however, with the tsct of a woman —above all, a Frenchwoman—immediately recovered her aplomb, and motioning us to a queer-looking rash-seated chair, begged we would give ourselves the trouble to sit down in rt. The harms repeated his lady's request, and we took advantage of the silence which followed to explain the motive of our sudden appearance. Madame, though dis concerted, contrived to maintain her composure, and, ea the conversation proceeded, we had leisure to reconnoitre the premises. We st last folt sure we were in the same boudoir as on the jourtde rioeption, but the whole aspect ' and character of it were so metamorphosed, that it was es &Moult to recognise it as its owners. Three sides of the octagon were by some contrivance, essentially French, evi dently folding and removable, and being thus removed, the boudoir. no longer octagonal in form, became an oblong, half of which was a bedroom, not in the tidiest condition. The delicate blue satin and 'gilding was covered up with brown holland, and the aristocratic chairs and sofas were wearing their pinafores. The elegant Aubusson carpet — a work of art—was removed, and a cheap and rather shabby moquette replaced it, covering up even the inlaid floor ; all the little elegant bagatelles, which bespeak taste and luxury —as long as they are supposed to form the ordi nary entourage of a woman—had disappeared, until they should be wanted to play their part one. more in the peri odical domestic farce ; and instead of the silvergilt waiter, the urn, and the array of exquisite Sevres cups, a blackened chocolate pot stood on a torn piece of paper be side two mugs of dell, from which the baron and his wife h a d been taking their preliminary breakfast. It seemed as if the magician's wand had passed over the scene, and there was almost a ghastliness in the unexpected change. It contained a moral revelation which was uncomfortably suggestive. One never likes to find things altogether dif ferent from what they have seemed, and this feeling was not diminished when we turned our attention to the couple who sat before us in their dlshabille. Hoosier sat by the fire in a dreming•gown, leather cap, and slippers, perusing the Silete, while madams, more active, was availing her self of the opportunity to clear out an old drawer. Her attire was not put on by the dimpled fingers of the Graces, ' for she was still in curl-papers, and—shall we reveal your sacred arcane, 0, ye cubicular Penates !—her features were half concealed by the borders of . . . . a nightcap ! It was plain we had put our foot in it—not the nightcap. but the intimacy ; Orme was no hope of ever retrieving the gaucherie—how could we look her is the face again, after having caught her in bonnet de null! Even the bluff Samuel Johnson regarded this portion of his toilet as too delicate to admit of allusion, and, as our readers will re member, almost savagely reproved Boswell for attempting to make a note of his prectioal ideas on the important sub ject. " Sir !" said he, in a tone that admitted of no rejoinder, " posterity shall UMW know whether or not I wore a nightcap." How then could we expect Madame la Barons. to overlook such a rialasdresse 7 This was the overwhelming thought that passed through our mind and rendered as timid and reserved, as we statemared out our alums to her voluble l'•1111111k11 t in feet, we were far more ansbarramed Ikea err bests, end took oar leave as woe as we decently coati.—The Argosy for January.

The snow-storm has greatly interfered with busi ness in the Stock Exchange to-day, and very few changes have occurred in prices. Console and the chief British railways are quoted exactly the same as yesterday, and the movements in foreign securities and banking and financial shares are quite unim portant. The discount market is quiet to-day, and trans actions continue to take place in the best three months bills at 71 to 7t per cent. No change has been made in the rate of discount by the weekly board at the Bank to-day, nor was any expected. Consols are now quoted 861 to / for money, and 871 to /, for the account (Feb. 8). Very little business has been reported in foreign stocks, and the speculativedeecriptioneareunaltered, with the exception of a rise off per cent. in Mexican, and a decline to the same extent in Spanish Passive. Confederate bonds are flat. Some of the present quotations are subjoined, viz :—Greek, 131 to 141 ; Turkish Five per Cents. of 1865, 411 to / ; Spanish Passive, 25t to 26 ; ditto Certificates, 131 to t ; Confederate, 61 to 71 ; Brazilian scrip, t to 1 prem. ; and Mexican, 22 to f, ex div. American securities are unaltered, with the ex ception of a rise of 4 per cent. in Illinois Central Railway shares, which are now quoted 752 to 764. 5-20 Bonds are called 64i to and Erie Railway shares, 56 to 1. International Financial shires are now quoted t to 1 prem. ; General Credit, lt to 2 prem. ; London Financial, 3to pram. ; Imperial Mer cantile, 21 to prem. ; Credit Fonder and Mobi lier of England, 3} to prem., ex all; Overen3, Gurney, and Company, 51 to t prem. The shares of Charles Lafitte and Co. are quoted 21 to 3 prem. ; English and American Bank, 1 to 11 prem. ; London Steam Towing, 14 to 2 prem. ; and British and Continental Sugar Refining, / to 11 prem. The demand at the Bank discount-office yesterday was only moderate, and the general market, owing to the magnitude of the supply of money, derived partly from the payment of the dividends, pre sented an easier appearance, although a considera ble amount of Indian bills fell due yesterday. First class paper having three months to run was taken freely at 7i to 71 per cent., or to 71 below the Bank minimum. In the Stock Exchange the rate for short loans on English government securities was 4 to 5 per cent. in the morning, but fell to 3 per cent, in the afternoon. Money was very abun dant in that establishment, and a large amount remained over unemployed at the last. There were again no bullion operations yester day at the Bank. During the week 238,000'. has been withdrawn for exportation. The steamer Athenian, from the West Coast of Africa, has brought about 17,0001. in gold dust and specie. The Board of Trade returns last published state the total value of the enumerated articles exported from the United Kingdom to the United States for the first eleven months of 1865 at 16,300,0001., and Liverpool advices mention that the imports of American cotton alone into that port for the last year are valued at about 13,000,0001. So much for the statement pertinaciously persisted in by a leading journal that the imports of commodi ties from America are "singularly small," and that we are giving her an excessive amount of credit. The London and North Western Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 6,2491. over last year ; the Midland, au increase of 2,267/. ; the Great Northern, an increase of 739/. ; the Great Eastern, a decrease of 1,5101.; the Great Western, an increase of 1,6401.; and the London and South Western, an increase of 1,1231. We are requested to explain, with reference to an advertisement just issued, that the amount of the dividend on Anglo-Austrian Bank shares for the year 1865 will not be fixed until the general meeting of the bank at Vienna, in May next. The 3a. per share just advertised, with the previous distribution of 3e. in September last, merely completes the 5 per cent. payable on account of the annual net profits of the bank for the year 1865. The directors of the New Zealand Trust and Loan Company (Limited) intend to declare a divi dend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum at the meeting on the 17th instant. The half-yearly meeting of the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway Company is called for the 24th instant, at Manchester. We are informed that the International Contract Company (Limited) have concluded a contract for the construction of the Dublin Metropolitan Rail ways. The transfer books of the International Financial Society will be closed preparatory to the general meeting from Monday, the 15th, until Friday, the [ L 26th inst. The following relates to the affairs of Overend, Gurney, and Co. (Limited) : TO THE EDITOR OP THE EXPRESS.

RITCHIE, Se:aviary. "The shares of ()reread, Gurney, and Co. (Limited) have been unduly depressed to-day by • report, industriously circulated, that the company have suffered heavy lon through transactions with ea enchant contractor. We Lave investigated the matter, and Bed that the report is without the slightest foundation.—GEo. Secretary." A special general meeting of the West Cornwall Railway Cotnpauy is called for the 19th iost., at Bris tol, "fur the purpose of receiving a statement from the board of directors as to the present financial position of the company, and of making such an appropriation of any of the assets of the company, whether consisting of preference stock or otherwise, and of passing such resolutions in reference to all or any of the objecta aforesaid, as may be agreed upon." A special general meeting of the London Armoury Company (Limited) is called for the 25th instant, "to consider the course which should be adopted with reference to a petition presented to the Court of Chancery to wind up the company." The Hop and Malt Exchange and Warehouse Company (Limited) announce that warrants for the interest for the half-year ending the 20th January, at the rate of per cent. per annum, will be for- I warded on that day to the holders of shares with not less than Si. per share paid thereon. The European Gas Company (Limited) have given notioe of the , closing of the share register, preparatory to the payment of the usual half-yearly dividend ou the let February. The usual half-yearly dividend on the shares of the Namur and Liege Railway Company is an nounced for payment on the 15th instant. With reference to the market for American securities, Messrs. E. F. Satterthu - site and Co. report aa follows : The advance in the Bank rata of interest on Thursday to 8 per cent., caused some depression in the London market for American securities, which was for • short time some what iocrsased by the extraordinary article in the Times of yesterday,' bat the fallacies, or rather cnissitcos. in the statement put forward were so glaring, that the affect was , little more than momentary, and to-day, ea Impressed quo tations for stock and decline in gold from New York, she market rallied and closes firm. United States 5-20 Bonds, after seine' down to 60 bars advanced to 60 to 65. Illiaois remained steady at 75y to 76, while Eries bane bnproved from 551 to 56 to The various descriptioos of Allan* and Great Western Beads have bees wall main tained, sad transactions in stip mailer deacenimatioes of certificates of debenture have to-day taken *coat ftsj.

The inch of crowds of men from Sher Etat to settle the golden shone of California. and to oe copy the freely offered territories of the great North- West, left a great balance of men over women in the population of the Eastern Metes. Bat some years ago an energetio woman. Mr.. Farnham, °mislaid a movement for female emigration to California, and was so suomestul in thus tar nishing that community of bachelors with wives, thiit her project has been 'malted in other directions. Several thousand women from New York and New England are now on their way to settle Washington territory. Nor are these a vintner class of women to those who were ones sent from England to the colony of Virgisks ; instead et Noll Flanders, it I. the thrifty and virtuous Yankee girl who goes West, whose desesadants will one day as proudly trace their pedigree to one who cams out on a ship with Farnham, as the Englishman does to one who "came over with the Conqueror." Bat it is apart from the design of this paper to describe or forecast that future palaee of Humanity beyond the silver pillars of the gook, Yountaisa—au abode who.. grandeur' are heralded by gigantic forests whose trees are thirty or feslj feet in eirentafereees, by mountains which are huge knobs of bee, skeins wading seeds ef gold, procipienstretchinig thousands of feet to river. of fabulous depth, and catenate mentaltizers as Wise Niagass.—Yrarer's Nags:ism kr January. d' *~. it r, yiu..
