LAW INTELLIGMCE. (THIS DAY.) COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. Sitting in Banco.—(l3efan Lard Chief Justice Cockburn, and Justices Wighkaan, Blackburn, and Mellor.) This was the last, day of term. The nisi pries after•term 'Minis commence to-morrow (Wednesday). Pal LONDON DOCK CONPIINT V. TI9C PAZUSH OP NHADWILL. In this cue • rule had beenTibtained7calling upon the parish of Shadwell to show cause why an award made between the pariah and the London Dock Company relative to the rating of the latter should not,be set aside on the ground that it did not dispose of the appeal ; and secondly, that the principle upon which the award was made was wrong in law. The company having been rated to the poor in the sum of 30,0001., ap pealed, and the matter was referred to arbitrators, with an umpire. The award reduced the value to 26,3001., and the company being dissatisfied with it, wrote to the umpire to state the principles upon which he had made the award, with • view of impeaching it if wrong in law. The umpire replied to that letter, by stating that be had fixed the value of the rent which might be obtained from a tenant from year to year, first fixing the value of the whole docks, and then dividing the value among the different parishes according to the area. Mr. Leah, Q.C., and Mr. Poland, showed caused against UN role ; Mr. Bovill, Q.C., and Mr. Murphy, sup ported it. Mr. Lush said there was no necessity for this application to the court. In the submission the arbitrator had power to state a case for the opinion of the court on the appli cation of either party, but neither had taken advan tage of it, and it was only after the award was made that a letter was written to the umpire which produced the answer complained of. With regard to the statement made on the moving of the rule that by . this award the parish had received no much money from the docks that it was unnecessary to rate the other parishioner', it was but right to state that in consequence of this dispute the pariah was obliged to borrow money at 6 per cent., and that now having received money from the compare, they had thought it right to pay off the arrears and relieve the parish as much as poesible. The Lord Cluef Justice said that possibly the umpire had been mistaken in what he had done. It was • matter of doubt, and be thought the court could not decide in the company's favour on the materials before them. All the court could be eked to do was, to send the award back—• power which the parties had under the submission, but never availed themselves of, and he thought the court ought not to encourage parties lying by until after the award was given, and then Ask the court to replace them in their former position. After hearing Mr. Bovill in rapport of the rule, The court discharged the rule, with coats. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. Sittings in Banco in Michaelmas Term.—(Before Lord Chief Baron Pollock, and Barons Martin, Bramwell, and Chian.U.) MAITLAND y. MACKINNON. This was a case argued a few days ago in which the quer tion was whether certain stables attached to a house in Cumberland-place passed to the defendant under a lease of the house granted to him many years ago. The court now delivered judgment in favour of the de fendant. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) IA THE GOODS OP RICHARD BAKE. Mr. Ward applied to the court under the 8:1n1 section of the Probate Act of 1857 to assign the bond which had been given by the administratrix, the widow of the deceased. The learned gentleman contended that she had broken the conditions of the bond, and had moreover committed a vutavit in selling a portion of the property under its value, •nd in not accounting for certain book debts. The court granted a citation to the administratrix to show cease why the bond should not be assigned to a half. sister of the deceased, in order to be sued upon. WEENIER V. WIZBNTSR AND NITVORD. Dr. Tristram appeared for the petitioner, Captain Webster, late of the 19th Regiment, who had ob tained a divorce on account of his wife's adultery, in India, with Captain Ilitford, of the same regi ment. The learned counsel applied to the court to make an order for the benefit of the daughter of the marriage out of the blooms of the mother under the marriage settlement. The affidavits showed that the petitiocer was a person of very small means, and that the amount of the settlement was only about 85!. a year. Dr. Spicks resisted the motion, and reminded the judge that whereas the petitioner had demanded 5,0001. of the co respondent as damages, the jury had only given him rl . The court ordered the trustees to pay 201. to the grand father of the child towards her maintenance. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (THIS DAY.) (Before the Reconier.) George Pinks, Joseph Tacker, sad Jerernioh Neale were Indicted for stealing three auks of flour, the property of William Archer. Mr. Pater .prosecuted, and Mr. Ribton defended the prisoners. The prosecutors, it appeared, are flour factors, carrying on business in Upper Thames-street, and they also had some steam flour mill. in Park-street, Southwark. On the evening of the 6th instant Walter Betts, a City detective, was in Union-street, Borough, and saw the three prisoners with a truck ; Pinks and Neale were I pulling it, and Tucker was pushing behind. They were going very fast, and he noticed three men fol lowing behind. His suspicions being aroused, he followed them u far as Union-street, Spitalfields, when be met another constable, named Hawker, and they stopped the prisoners. and asked them what they bad in the truck, and Neale said he did not know, it was given them on the City side of the river to take to the Great Eastern Railway Station, and he got a shilling for doing so. The prisoner Neale, however, it appeared, got away, but was appre hended the next day, and he said he was asked by the other men to give it a push behind. Upon the truck being examined it was found to contain three sacks. containing 14.10 lbs. of flour, the sacks being blended with the name of Archer. The flour was identified by the prosecutor as it was of a peculiar description, having been imported from Adelaide, in Australia, and was very much finer than English flour. Mr. Hibton contended that the defence of the prisoners— that they were employed to take the flour—was a very probable one, and that the three men, who were remaining behind, were the men who employed them. The jury found Pinks and Neale Guilty of receiving the property knowing it to have been stolen, and Acquitted Tucker. The Recorder sentenced the prisoners to nine months' imprisonment with hanl labour. Gpmje Wilson, 35, was indicted for a burglary, accom panied with violence, in the dwelling-house of Wilhelm Ott. Cooper prosecuted. The prosecutor in this cue is a plumber and glazier, in York-plane, Walworth-n ad, and on the night of the 20th of ktober, be went to bed at 8 o'clock, and his wife also went to bed at 11 o'clock. About three hours afterwards, it appeared that the wife of the prosecutor happened by acci dent to put her hand out of bed and she felt the body of man in a stooping position. She shrieked out and her bus tend got up and procured a light and went into an adjoin ing room, where he saw the prisoner with a life pre. server in his hand, and upon his going towards him he struck him a tremendous blow on the heed with the life preserver, and then jumped out of the window. The pro secutor was so much injured he was unable to give an alarm, but the prisoner was fortunately intercepted by a police. constable named Henry Moore, who secured him, and found part of the property that had been stolen from the prose cutor's house in his possession, and near the spot where he was taken a life-preserver was picked up. The prosecutor was very severely injured by the blow be receive and the moment be saw the prisoner he at once identified him as the man by whom the outrage was committed. The prisoner, in his defence, merely denied he wu the man who was in the prosecutor's house. The jury, without any hesitation, returned a verdict of Gamy, The prisoner, who was convicted at the last session of another burglary, was sentenced to be kept in penal servi tude fur 15 years. NEW COURT. (Before the mon &missal) William C a mpbell, Un Com man, ElLateth Barrett. 22, married, and Julia Regan, 19, spinster, were indicted for having in their poseesaion certain implements of coining. Mr. Cooke and Mr. Crawford prosecuted, and Mr. Kemp aped for the prisoner Campbell. ppeared that upon the 7th of this month Inspector Brennan and some other officers went to a lodging-house in Wentworth -street, and there saw all the prisoners in • room sitting round the table engaged in making base coin, and upon forcing the door and obtaining an entrance, they found a mould for making sixpences, and 13 base sixpences were boned in Regan 's lap, Campbell having begun to pat them there. TheftWformd them Guilty. Campbell, who was not known to the police, wa► sen tenced to three years' penal servitude ; Barrett, who bed been before convicted, to five years ; and Regan to four years, It is stated confidently in the Kilkenny Moderator that the murderer Hayes was seen lately going through the woods and plantations which stretch along almost continu ously from Droundarris beyond Windgap to Qtrricksbrook, a distance of eight m il es . Th e cons t a b u l ary h ave ma d e a march for him there in vain. His eon was at the fair of Cappawbite, in the county of Tipperary, on Monday last. It is stated, u a proof of the sympathy of the people for his father, that "scarcely a minute passed but he received handshakes and embraces from the country people." THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 25, 1862. THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) A 110171A114 John Porritt, a carpenter, residing at lA, Ismpeteraitreet, Islington, was charged before Mr. Barker with being drank and assaulting William Stapleton, Ellen Winter, George Fowler, William Charles Moore, and Caroline Gibbons, at Hornsey-road. Mr. Moore said that he was going with his sister to an omnibus, when the prisoner struck him a violent blow on the bat and knocked it off. He followed this up with other violence, on which he (witness) struck him and to some extent punished him, and there the matter would have ended bad the prisoner not struck his sister-in-law (Mrs. Gibbons) in the eye. He went to her insistence, on which the prisoner again struck him, caught hold of his bait, and pulled oat a handful of the hair, which caused him great pain. This occurred in the Hornsey-road, and he could not see a policeman for more than two hours after this occurred. The prisoner after this went into a beershop, and on his coming out he struck Stapleton in the month. The prisoner, who had been drinking, attempted to strike and kick everyone, that he same near. Mrs. Gibbons said she was walking with the previous witness when the prisoner, without any provocation, struck _ him. He was very violent, and after that he struck her in 11 the face with such force that it knocked her down. Her face was bruised and one of her eyes blackened by the blow the prisoner gave her. Mr. Stapleton said he was walking with his wife in the Hornaey-road, when the prisoner came up to him and said, "Do you know who 1 am ?" He made the prisoner no reply, and was passing on when the prisoner said, "I am Jack, the giant killer "—(a laugh)—and struck him a violent Mow in the mouth. He attempted to strike his wife, but this he prevented, and the prisoner again attempted to strike him. George Fowler said he was walking with Ellen Winter, when the prisoner struck him in the mouth without having received any provocation. The prisoner also struck the woman, but she was not now in attendance to press the c . The prisoner said he was drank, and was not aware what ke did, but he supposed that what the witness* had said wee all right. Police constable Cronin, 443 13, said be took the prisoner into custody. He was very drunk, and all the way to the police-station was violent. Mr. Barker said the assaults were very disgraceful. For the assault on Mrs. Gibbons he should sentence the prisoner to two calendar months hard labour in the House of Cor rection, and for the assault on Mr. Moore he would sentence him to be farther imprisoned for another month with hard i; labour. a The prisoner asked that a fine might be indicted, but his I application wen refused. MARYLEBONE. Et CIANOTTING AND ATTEMPTED MURDER.-DESPERATE ATTATR, 1( A tall, powerful fellow dressed as a "navvy," awned 24 ic George Lines, was brought up charged with the following St brutal assault and robbery : at Mr. Walter Charles Woodward, assistant to a jeweller, re- 84 siding at 17, Hollis-place, Haverstock-hill, said :—About 11 ci o'clock on the night of the 12th hart, I was proceeding along Si the Maldon-park.villas, Ilaverstock-hill. A man came up It and asked me tor relief, saying, " Would I please to relieve SI a poor distressed fellow!" I told him I had no money with si me, and had no sooner said the words than I was seized by u the throat. At the same time I received a tremendous blow ii at the back of my bead, which partially stunned me. It Mr. Yardley—What was the blow given with? 81 Prosecutor—With the fist, I imagine, as I could not see SI who the person was behind me, or what I was struck with. s i I have been ill ever since, and under the doctor's hands. u I was so tightly held by the throat that I could not falL to One of the men put his hands in my pocket and took out my purse containing two sovereign., & 18 shillings, a pair of coral ear-rings, and a coral bead. I : struggled with the man in front, and saw something flash in front of me in his band like a knife, and he put it to my g throat Fortunately I wrenched myself from him, but not t before it had cut my linen collar and grazed my akin. I 61 then called' and the men ran away. Mr. Yardley—Did you cry or call out before Prosecutor—l could not cry out as they bad me so tight by the throat. A lady and gentleman in a house close by threw up their window, and the servant at the adjoining house saw the men run away. I went back to the entrance al of the park, and met two police officers. Prisoner is the man who was in front of me and seized me by the throat. He snatched my watch chain, but it broke in his band. Prisoner—l am not guilty. They took me this morning, & as I was at work. . Mr. Yardley (to prosecutor) —Are you certain that the prisoner is the man whom you saw in front of you? Prosecutor—l am positive he is the man. I went with • gentleman this morning to Kilburn, where he was at work burning ballast, and I picked him out from 10 or 12 other men. lam sure be is the man. . . . . . Inspector Defter ($ division) asked for a remand as be had got a portion of the chain attached to the gentleman's watch, and which was picked up near the spot. Mr. Yardley remanded the prisoner for a week. FRIGHTFUL DEATH WHILE WINDOW- CLEANING. INQUEST.— CTH 113 DAY.) This morning an inquiry was held by Mr. H. Rake Wa'thew, the deputy coroner, at the Lord Truro Tavern, Dalstou, respecting the death of Frederick Hep burn, aged 14 years, who ,was killed in a very shocking of manner while cleaning a window from the outside ledge. 8 It appeared from the evidence that the deceased and if another boy were in the employ of Dr. Williamson, of Mildmay-street, Mildmay-park, and were recently engaged cleaning the landing window, deceased standing for that purpose outside on the ledge. The other boy kept cautionmg him, and it appeared made him so nervous that he slipped off and the back of his skull fell on the iron spikes of the railing, 14 feet below. The iron entered the skull, and the brains protruded, but singular to say he remained sensible enough to give the foregoing ' account of the accident. Ile was removed to the German Hospital, where Dr. Batche did what was possible for him, but he died delirious. It was stated that on a previous occasion he narrowlyescaped with his life while cleaning the same window. He leaped off, and his foot was caught on the splices, and he remained hanging head downwanls until Dr. Williamson lifted him off. The Coroner expressed a hope that employers would take Ilk means to put a stop to the highly-dangerous and improper practice, which appeared to be only too general, of cleaning windows from the ontaide. "T;e7dici 7 :t:l3;ttietTeaiied was killed by falling on spikes while cleaning windows" was returned.

A fire broke out in the extensive premises belonging to Mr. C. J. Freak, builder, situate in Onalow-square, Bromptoo. The boil hog in which the disaster commenced was about one-third de stroyed. The building and the contents were insured, it is supposed, in the Royal Exchange Fire-office.--A fire took place some time previously in the premises, No. 15, Edward-place, Seymour-street, let out to several fami lies. The flames commenced from some unknown rinse in the back room ground floor. The engines of the perish and London Fire Brigade were soon in attendance, but owing to the exertions of the inmates and strangers the flames had been previously extinguished. A most distress ing scene presented itself. An aged female, who had passed her 60th year, was found burned in a most fearful manner. Medical aid was obtained, but life was extinct—Another fire happened about two hours previously on the premises ' of Mr. E. Dural' (private), No. 118, Howard-road, Stoke Newingtoo. The lower part of the premises was burned ' oat and the upper part severely damaged. The loss will fall upon the Sun Fire-office.

Two o'Onocx. The stock markets to-day are very steady. The funds are firm, and though scarcely the slightest change has occurred in prices, the tendency is favourable. In the other markets the variations have been of little importance. As regards two or three foreign stocks, including Greek, realisations have rather predominated. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rages opened at 70fr. 05c., showing a decline of sc. since yesterday. Consols are now quoted 931 to 1, cum div, for money, and 92 3-16 to 5-16, or 924, ex div., for the account (Dec. 4). The official business report is as follows :-Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 93j, 4, 4 ; ditto for account, 924 ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 92, t ; New Three per Cents., 92, 1; India Five per Cent.

There has been a fair amount of business in the foreign stock market. Greek bonds have declined, having been last dealt in at 161. Mexican are also fiat, while Egyptian have improved. Spanish securities are steady. The Turkish Loan of 1854 is quoted 834 to 84 ; that of 1858, 704 to 71, showing a rise of 1 per cemt.; the scrip of 1862, 11 to 2 prem. ; and Consolidie, 381 to 4, a fall oft.

The shares of the London and Northern Bank are firm to-day, at If to 14 prem. The fortnightly settlement in shares and foreign stocks will commence to-morrow (" continuation day") and terminate on Friday. It is notified that 300,0001. of Canadian Four per Cent. Debentures, which will mature on the Ist Jan. next, will be paid in due course upon pre limitation at the Bank of England. Some attention has been excited by the Con- stantinople telegram, announcing that " the negotiations for the establishment of a national bank have been brought to a conclusion." There appears to be no longer any question that the Ottoman Bank, after having for yes . .rs peat re fused to have anything to do with projects of the sort, have at I last undertaken on their own con ditions to establish a National Bank of Turkey. Some delay will naturally arise in carrying out in their entirety the arrangements connected with so important a scheme, but it is well understood that the matter has been of necessity placed in the hands of the Ottoman Bank, as the only establishment able to satisfy the requirements of the Ottoman government and to inspire confidence in Europe. It is right to remark that the Ottoman Bank, far from being competitors for the project, have refused all competition, and therefore it may be presumed that the concession will be granted to them on the terms which they have all along considered essen tial to the success of such an undertaking. With regard to the claims which are nom set forward by parties who have hitherto failed in the attempt to establish the proposed institution, it may be useful to state—what has become more than current ru mour—that the failure of their scheme arose from their inability to raise the required capital, and not, as alleged, from any default of the Ottoman government. It appears that after the failure of the project of Messrs. Rodocanachi, Russell Ellice, and others their concession was sold to Messrs. Frnh ling and Gosehen for (it is said) 30,000/., including about 20,0001. caution money. The Turkish government contend that this concession has entirely lapsed, but at the same time it is believed that they will be willing to return the caution money. This would be quite consistent with their honourable action in all such matters. It is clear, however, that the government owe it to the interests of the empire, after so long a period of ill-success and financial confusion, to place the affair in the bands of those persons who, from experience and ability, are best fitted to pro mote the general benefit. It is difficult to over-estimate the value of a bank of this kind, when once successfully established, as it will (tend to put an end to prac tices which, while enriching local money lenders, have impoverished the finances of the empire. The formation of a National Bank will increase the faith of both the foreign and home creditor, and tend to place all Turkish securities on a more cre ditable footing, their present depreciation being ex clusively due to a system which it is the express ob ject of the new bank to amend. At a meetingyesterday of the creditors of Mr. James Miller, elastic web manufacturer, of Deptford, the liabilities were estimated by Messrs. Hart Brothers and Hayles, the accountants, at 11,5281., and the meets at 4,3341. After a long discussion, it was resolved to appoint a committee of the principal creditors to investigate the transactions of Mr. Miller, and the meeting was accordingly adjourned for that purpose. The committee of the Stock Exchange have ap pointed Monday, the Ist of December, a special settling day in the shares of the European Gas Company and the Oriental Commercial Company. The sham of the former undertaking are to be marked in the official list, but not those of the latter. The receipts of the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada for the week ending the Ist November were 19,7701. sterling, being 1,2481. less than in the corresponding week of last year. The directors of the Standard Bank of British South Africa are inviting applications for the two poets of secretary in London and manager in the colony.

DEEPER ATE ASSAULT AT RIG/LOAM —At the Highgate Petty Sessions yesterday, Mr. Thomas Griffiths, proprietor of the Old Crown Tavern, Highgate-hill, was charged before Mews. Bodkin and Miles with assaulting Thomas Holding. The complainant, a formidable-looking man, 6ft. tin. in height, well-known to the police, said that as he and some friends were going down Hampstead. lane on the previous evening, about 12 o'clock, the de fendent hit him a violent blow, knocked him down, and struck and kicked him while down. George Taylor, William Butler, and John Winterback, who ware also known to the police, said they were a little way be hind complainant, and upon hearing cries of murder in complainant's voice they hastened forward, and found coca. plainant on the ground, and defendant standing over hint. Police-constable Skelton, 365 S, deposed to hearing a now at the time and place in question, going to the spot, and find ing the defendant struggling with the complainant and the three witness ; the complainant, whose face and bead were covered with blood, charged the defendant with assaulting him. Charles Rowell said be was coming home with the defendant at the time and place in question, when the com plainant met them, asked defendant for some tobacco, and immediately rushed at the latter ; at the same time three or four other men rushed scram the road. He (witness) ran off to Hig hga te police-station to get a constable. The de fendant said that as he was going down Hampstead-lane the complainant met him, asked him for sonic tobacco and at the Mlle time prepared to attack him. The defendant, observing this, drew back and prepared to meet his anta gonist. As he came, the defendant met him and knocked him down. Four other men immediately rushed across the road, and • most desperate struggle ensued between the de fendant and the fire men. It continued till • police-con stable came up. The bench at once dismissed the charge, and • summons for assault was issued against the com plainant, his three witnesses, and a man named Nayler, making the fifth man of the gang. THE RECENT POISONING CASE IN YORK. —A PERSON IN Cooroor.—All the • in the family of Mr. Cooke, optician, York, who hat partaken of something for dinner, which had caused them to be ill, have recovered. It appears that an apple dumpling and mince pie, of which the family had eaten, contained poison. Antimony was mentioned in our former report ; and it was thought at the time, from the symptoms which were exhibited, that either antimony or amnia had been used. The analysis, however, of • portion of mince pie and • small quantity of flour by Mr. Greener, has clearly proved that ' the flour contained a considerable qiumjity of arsenic, and quite suelsient to produce a fatal effect. From what bad previously transpired it was quite impossible to suppose that the poison had found its way into the flour by accident, and therefore Mr. Haley, the superintendent of the police. instituted • searching investigation into this most mysterious affair, and be so far succeeded as to feel himself justified yesterday (Monday) in apprehending a person on • charge of administering the poison, and that person will be brought before the magistrates to-day (Tuesday). A serious fire, involving destruction of property to the abreast of about 10,000(., occurred on Saturday night, at Manors. Brown and On.'s distillery, at Dundalk. One of the soldiers called out to assist in extinguishing the fire has died, while three others are seriously ill, from having drank fusel oil, mistaking it for whisky.
