Such a coarse of trading could only be described as most rash and I.a.ardous speculation. Aoother blot in their trading was ti g..inbling transactions on the Stock Exchange which had ..u.w.nted to 40,0001., and had resulted in a loss of upwards uf :.teiti/. But with those transactions Morris had nothing to do.

He admitted that Bottum had told Hislop's father to bring him a load of firewood, but when he found what was brought he sent a witness to tell Hislop that he should not pay him, but the foreman of the works, as he did not think that all was right about the transaction. A witness having confirmed Mr. Ricketts' statement, Mr. Barker discharged the prisoner Borham, and re manded Hislop, refusing to take bail. BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE. DAMAGES LAID AT LlO,OOO. This day an action in the Queen's Bench, in which judgment was allowed by default, came on before Mr. Under-Sheriff Harebell and a special jury, at the Sheriff's Court, Red Lion square, to assess the amount of damages for a breach of promise of marriage. The plaintiff, a young lady named Florence Kate Twins, a clergyman's daughter, who appeared by her next friend Mr. Edward Trevor Twins, sued the defendant, Mr. John Norris Hunter, an officer in the army. Mr. Price, Q.C., with whom was Mr. F. IL Lewis, in structed by Messrs. Lewis and Lewis, appeared for the young lady although her brother brought the action, being under age ; Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., and Mr. Alfred Wills, instructed by Mr. Chappel, were for the defendant. On the special jury, which was obtained at the instance of the plaintiff, being sworn, Mr. F. H. Lewis rose to open the case when application was made for a few minutes' delay, as an offer of arrange ment was made on the part of the defendant. The young lady was sent for, and conferred with. The learned counsel consulted together, and on its close Mr. Price said he was happy to state that the jury would be spared going into the case. The defendant had made an offer as to the amount of damage., which offer was ac cepted; the sum was 1,2i0/. Mr. Coleridge said that as far aa he was concerned that was an end of the matter. Mr. Hunter had made no im putation, and therefore had no retractaticn to make. An offer bad been made and accepted, which would prevent a public investigation, and the matter appearing in the newspaper.. Mr. Hunter had never dreamed of making any imputation on the young lady, and was willing to state it, because there was no imputation ever thought of on his part, The jury would assess the damages at 1,1501., which bad been agreed upon. Mr. Under•Sberiff Burchell told the jury that all they had to do, as the matter was settled, was to assess the damages, by consent, at 1,2%1. Mr. l'rice asked whether it was necessary to have a oer , tificate for the special jury on the part of the plaintiff, The learned Under-Sheriff said the Judge's order was ' sufficient.

LONDON AND SOUTHWESTERN RAILWAY. (THIS DAY.) This day a special general meeting was held at Waterloo-station, for the consideration, under the Wham chi& standing order, of a bill to extend the time for com pleting certain of the authorised works of the London and South-Western Railway Company, and for other Far poses, the principal objects of which are to extend the time for completing the Kensington and Richmond and the Aldershot railways; to authorise the making of a carriage road near Brookwood-station ; to reduce the oom pany's capital with reference to the abandonment of the Ilfracombe Railway ; to extend the company's powers for acquiring land for general purposes, and to confer on the company powers for the improvement and disposal of their superfluous land. It is not proposed to take any power to raise additional capital. Also for the consideration of the agreements with the London, Brighton, and South Coast Company for defining the arrangements and relations of the two companies in respect to the traffic between London and Portsmouth, the Epsom and Leatherbead, and the Wimbledon and Croy don lines, and for authorising the exercise of the borrow ing powers granted by the South-Western (Aldershot) Act of Ifi6s. Captain ll•tiGtes, who presided, in moving the usual confirmatory resolution as to the bill pending in Parlia ment, stated that it was intended to obtain powers to ex tend the time for completing the Aldershot branch to 31 July, 1870, but the works would nevertheless be pushed on with all despatch. After • brief discussion the bill was unanimously confirmed. In reference to the arrangements with the Lon don and Brighton Company, a special report was pre sented, the principal features of which are the following : As regarded the Charing-cross Railway the directors en tered into an arrangement with the South Eastern Com pany to the effect that the South Eastern Company would erect a station on the Charing.cros• line at Waterloo—and would efficiently work it—would charge in respect of the traffic joining or leaving the Charing-cross Railway there, the Charing-cross Railway fares for the time being, and would commence the work as soon as may be—that they would provide the means of passing between the Waterloo station and the new station, and shut up Black friars station ; should any points of difference arise, the Duke of Richmond to act as umpire. The directors congratulate the proprietors on this result, which they do not doubt will operate greatly to the advan tage of the companies and the public. Since 1859 friendly agreements bad been in existence between the London and Brighton and this company respecting their ra il ways and traffics in the competing district of Portsmouth, in the district of the Epsom and Leatherhead Railway, and in that of the Wimbledon and Croydon Railways. These several agreements, although acted upon in good faith for several years past, had never received formal sanction, and it was considered by both companies that in the altered circumstances incident to the passing of the Working Union Bill, each arrangement required for its just working in future some modification. There were other relations between the companies, established by act of parliament and agreement, in respect of the Toot ing, Merton, and Wimbledon Extension Railway, and ac cording to the terms of the Working Union Bill, as &weeded, these relations would, on its coming into opera tion, be obligatory on the companies in union, iu the same 1 manner as they now bound the London, Brighton, and South Coast Company. The directors fur ther asked from 1 the proprietors a resolution sanctioning the exercise by the board of the power of borrowing 53,3:301., as authorised b the South Western (Aldershot) Railway Act, 1885 , on the necessary certificate of a justice that sufficient Aare capital had been paid up to justify this additional bor rowing. The CHAIRMAN con gra tulated the proprietors on pates being at length estab lis hed between the two companies, and that passengers would now be able to get from Cannon-street and Charing-cross to Waterloo and from' ' Waterloo to Charing-cross and Cannon-street. The union bill of the London, Chatham, and Dover, the South Eastern, and Brighton Companies not having passed, the agreement was necessarily between the South Western and the South Eastern. The arrangement as to the Portsmouth traffic was under the present agreement for ten years, instead of, as heretofore, being terminable on six months' notice. There was to be a reduction in the charge to the South Western in regard to the maintenance of the Leatherhead and Croydon and Wimbledon lines, inasmuch as it was to be presumed the other companies, when united, would run more trains on those lines than the South Western. In reply to Mr. S. Booth it was stated there were to be no restrictions as to the number of trains to be run by the South Western on the Direct Portsmouth line, so that there was no danger of the public suffering in regard to the accommodation which aught be afforded. The heads of the several agreements having been read, • resolution confirming them was agreed to. A further resolution authorising the exercise of the borrowing powers under the Aldershot Act was also carried, and the pro- ceedings terminated in the usual manner. THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVEN/NG, MAY 28, 1868. ('A USES OF THE MURPHY RIOTS. The Rev. John Page Hoppe, Unitarian minister of Dakinfield, sends to the Timis a description of the &W eaves delivered by Murphy, which are pro ducing such fearful results in so many of the northern towns. It appears that Murphy began his campaign at the Foresters'-hall, Stalybricige, on the 13th January. He began by producing " a ten-chambered revolver, amid the wildest enthusiasm of the audience;" this being without provocation and in a meeting of friends. His opening sentence was, " I'm a queer lad, as you'll find out yet." His next sentence was a threat to smash something or somebody. Then he " offered up prayer," and proceeded with his address, from which the following is an extract : " The way to get rid of Fenianiim is to hang the priests. Every popish priest is a Fenian head-centre. I am going to Ashton to lecture in a cotton mill, and within 300 or 400 yards of the catholic chapel, and it will not take us long to drive the popish lambs to Paddy's land. If the people once break out in Lancashire they will first seize the catholic priests, then the Sisters of Mercy, and afterwards the lambs, and send them all afloat, neck and crop." An attempt wu afterwards made by some of Mr. Murphy's audience to provoke the Irish population to a breach of the peace ; but without success, and then a cry was raised, " to the chapel, to the chapel !" On another occasion his address was interspersed with the following statements : " According to the " History of the Council of Trent," every priest is bound to have his own concubine." " A Romxu catholic could murder his baby or his wife by paying the priest 261. 2s. 9d., and confessing his crime to him." " Your wives and daughters are expoeed to debauchery in the confessional, are betrayed and kidnapped into convent prisons, and there kept the dupes or slaves of priestly lust." " The priest secretly sets on his bloodhounds to destroy her Majesty's loyal people." "Put down the priests." And the utterance of these statements, we are told, was accompanied by the frequent display of the " bright ten. chambered revolver" which Mr. Murphy delighted to call his "bull-dog." To add to the effect of this exhibition on one occasion he discharged it out of the window of the lecture•ball into the street. At Ashton, whither he went, as be said, "to pull down the cross," he was at one time seen to be heading the mob. On another occasion, he justified the use of his revolver on the ground that "God protects those who defend themselves." This is hot a sample of the inflammatory addresses which, whabeser may be a. intention, com Wady have the whect of masking lawless violence. MB SUMMZR 4SSIZZ6.

How easily his lordship would have won had he been allowed to start is a m►tter concerning which I should scarcely like to take the opinion of his disappointed backers ; but it will be readily admitted that he stood a very fair chance, and his sensitive party will scarcely be so offended by any strictures that may be passed upon their tactics as they were when a Vigilant propounder of the laws (I memo and tunm stirred them op over old scores. Their line of conduct stands out in marked con trast to that pursued by Sir Joseph Hawley, who, not withstanding that he stood to win literally nothing on Blue Gown, and some 80,000 e. on either Green Sleeve or Resicracian, allowed the pet of the public to run- - and who had little more than a loud cheer, coupled with the honour of winning his fourth Blue Itiband, for his pains. It is unless, however, deploring a four pas that is scarcely likely to be repeated bv the same party ; and I make it a rule, too, to deal more with the quadrupeds than the bipeds that grace or disgrace the Turf. It may safely be asserted that the nineteen compe titors of to-day rather disgraced the Derby than other wise, for one half the field were good for nothing, and half the remainder were either only half trained or overdone. The great crack, Lady Eliza beth, did not show in the paddock—nor did she risk the ordeal of a canter put the stand ; but it was known long before the race that she was "sweating" in a most alarming manner, and when it was discovered that she had to be held at the starting-post, the old fears as to her getting off gained fresh ground. In the canter, no ' thing went better than Pace until he broke down, a mis fortune that showed how hopeless his chance always must have been ; and I should not be surprised at his companion, Speculum, cracking up some day, for he not only looked lighter than on the City and Suburban day, but at least half his legs were inclined to the" dicky" side. The two other handicap celebrities did not give much greater satisfaction—Orion's weak loins raising strong doubts as to his getting the course, and Paul Jones, despite his taking style of going, appearing of too common an order for even this year's Derby, besides which he had evidently not done over well since Cheater. The pick of the bunch were undoubtedly Suffolk and Sir Joseph's three, albeit Rosicru clan was not nearly up to concert pitch ; and after these, See Saw and Forest King were the most taking to the eye. Neither of this pair, however, was up to the mark, See Saw having evidently done badly of late ; and it is to be hoped they will see better days. Samson, who broke down in the race, bad evidently never been capable of standing a preparation ; and another " broker," Fran chise, was out of her element, ea King Alfred appeared to be also before the start. How hisMajestywugot within half a length of winning beats creation, especially that portion thereof who knew the rogue Suffolk could give him 2llb. ; and yet there are many who swear that with a more patient jockey in the saddle be would have won ! Of count, the friends of l'ncas and the Tom Bowline colt drew long faces after the race, as each beat the King easily in turn, and ought to have won the Derby ; but it would never do to depend upon a " line " drawn from the running of the Baron's horses, and perhaps the next time the second for the Derby performs be will be nowhere in moderate company. Whether Lady Elizabeth will improve on her Derby programme in the Oaks is yet to be seen, and if she cannot run first or second there will be no excuse for her whatever, as the field is certain to be a small one, the following comprising about all I have heard of as likely to start : Owner. Filly. Sire. Jockey. Mr. 0. Jones .... Formosa Buccaneer.... .1. Adams Lord Hastings.... Lady klizabeth Sir J. Hawley .... Green Sleeve Beadsman.... Well. Mr. G. Holmes .. Virtue Stockwell ... . Snowden Mr. M. Dawson .. lady Coventry .... Thormanby .. Daley Duke of Hamilton Monte or Clemence Newmtnster.. Aldcroft Mr. Padwick .... Athena Counide 1 Sarah Mr. W. Davies.... Fair Stu Capt. ryaway G. Sopp One or two more of the " ragged lot " may join issue with Formosa, Lady Elizabeth, Green Sleeve, Virtue, and Lady Coventry ; but beyond this quintette it is useless looking for the winner, as we have had convincing proof that neither Leonie nor Athena can stay, and Sarah is almost as common as her name. There is every opportunity for an Oaks surprise, safe as Formosa appears to hold everything now, the doubt whether she will stay being strong ; besides, Lady Elizabeth may get off better this time ; and when the lot ale all stripped 1 am certain there will not be • finer lady among them than Green Sleeve, who was not persevered with in the Derby when beaten. Virtue, again, has mended considerably since the One Thousand day, and is so well bred that it is impossible to ignore her pretensions after the good second she ran to Blue Gown and Green Sleeve last year ; nor is Lady Coventry to be altogether despised, Matthew Dawson being always dangerous when he means business. However, it would be against all common sense not to stand Formosa as the winner; and perhaps Green Sleeve is the most likely of the outsiders to effect a surprise. The only other events I can deal with are the Foal Stakes, which Vale Royal will win, and the Two-year-old Plate. In the latter, the Hermione *eh has an allowance at present, and consequently he ought to win.-1 am, Thursday morning. METEOR. EPSOM MEETING.-(THIS DAY.) NEWCASTLE STAKES.

The features of the moment are con sidered remarkably favourable, and many purchases have consequently been made. Most of these operations have been effected'to close adverse speculative accounts, but it is satis factory to notice an increased number of bond Mt investments, especially in foreign stocks, which have risen in many instances. Con sols show a fresh advance of 1-16 to; per cent., and the Three per Cents. Reduced and New Three per Cents, are better. The inquiry extends to several of the principal English lines, notwithstanding a larger supply of stock at the settle ment. Great Northern A and London and North- Western however, are flat, the latter being un favourably affected by the decrease in the traffic. The Indian Five per Cent. Stock and Anglo- Austrian Bank shares have improved. There is no change in the discount market. The rate for loans in the Stock Exchange is 1 per cent. Consols are quoted 951, with div., for money, and 944 to 1, ex div., for the account (June 4), and the Three per Ceuta. Reduced and New Three per Cents., 941 to 1. With the exception of London and North Western and Great Northern A, which have de clined to 1 per cent., railway stocks are firm. South Eastern and London, Chatham, and Dover have unproved g ; Midland and Brighton, 4 ; and Caledonian and Great Eastern, 1. The prices are as follows :—Caledonian, 744 to 1 ; London and North-Western, 1141 to 1151; Great Western, 531 to 1 ; Midland, 1071 to 1 ; Londoa and South Western, 91 to 93 ; Great Eastern, 34} to I ; Brighton, 521 to 1 ; South Eastern, 79 to } ; Metropolitan, 111; to 1121 ; Great Northern, 103 to 1 ; ditto A, 961 to 97} ; London, Chatham, and Dover, 191 to 201 ; Laacaahire and Yorkshire, 1281 to 1 ; York and North Mid land, 94 to 1 ; Berwick, 1021 to 1031 ; and North British, 331 to 34. The foreign stock market is extremely firm, and a rise of to 1 per cent. has taken place in Bra zilian of 1865, Egyptian of 1864, Russian of 1866, the Orel Vitebsk Railway loan, and Turkish of 1865. Italian bonds of 1861 are / better, at 51 to /.

At a meeting of the creditors of Mr. Couvelas, merchant, held yesterday at Manchester, an offer was made to pay 10s. in the pound, guaranteed by Messrs. Couvelaa, of Constantinople, together with the balance of shipments to India ; but it was re sohed that the estate shall be assigned to three gentlemen, with power to act for the general body of creditors. The liabilities amount to 58,9181., and the assets to 36,1631 HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK. The stock markets continue very firm. Consols have experienced a fresh rise of g tot per dent.— viz., to 96/ to 96, with dividend for money, and 94 to i, ex div., for the account. As regards railways, London and North Western, Metro politan, and Great Northern A have advanced I to per cent., while Caledonian, Midland, and South Eastern have declined to the like extent. Foreign securities are being largely bought, and Italian of 1861, Peruvian of 1865, and Spanish of 1867, are )1 tot per cent. better than at 1 o'clock. United 5-20 Bonds have risen I. FOUR O'CLOCK, Consols improved about 3 o'clock to 96 to with div., for money, and 94i to I, ex div., for the account, but have since relapsed to 94:4 to 96 and Mi to 4, respectively.

About 1&4,000/. in gold has been sent into the Bank, and 25,000/. withdrawn. At Paris to-day the Three per Cent. Rentes opened at 69fr. 60c. for the account, showing no movement. The bills have been returned of Messrs. Bassett, Green, and Hewetson, hop and seed factors, of the Borough. Themileage of the railways of the United King dom is nearly 400 miles in excess of that for the corresponding period of last year, yet the aggregate receipts present scarcely any augmentation. In the weekly return of the London and North Western Company, just published, there' is a de crease of 3,005/. The Archie Natiu,tal says :—" Several jburnaht relate that Count de Nisuwerkerks, auperintendept of the Sae arts, has been stopped by a band of robbers in the mountains of Spain, and stripped by them of everything he had about him.
