BIRMINGHAM MUSICAL FESTIVAL. (nom ova ovng coausrozorre.) BIRMINGHAM, FIIDAT, Sim 0. The miscellaneous concert of last night was the most fully attended of the evening performances. It was, indeed, densely crowded, and such were the beat and pressure that the hall, before it was over, gave some idea of the temperature of the Black Hole of Calcutta. Notwithstanding the excellence of theentertainment, the audience must hare felt its couldusion a happy release from suffering. For tunately this release, was obtained at an earlier hour than on the previous evenings, the concert being of more moderate dimensions. It began with Mr. Arthur Sullivan's new cantata entitled Kenilworth. This gsutlernan has gained some credit by his music to the Tempest, a work of considerable merit, notwith standing his temerity in attempting to super sede by compositions of his own some of the most beautiful music of Purcell and Arne. This new cantata has been written expressly for the Birmingham festival. Kenilworth is certainly as advance on the Tempest ; and, considered as the work of a young composer, it may be regarded as being at least a highly promising effort. He him self conducted the performance; the principal avers, Madame Lemmens Sherrington, Miss Palmer, Mr. Cummings, and Mr. Santley, exerted themselves with praiseworthy zeal and good effect ; and the piece had a favourable reception. At its conclusion the applause was loud and general, and Mr. Sul livan came forward to make his acknowledgments to the audience. The "poem is from the pen of Mr. Cborley. It is a kind of " Masque," describing the _pageants and entertainments given by the Earl of Leicester to Queen Elizabeth at Kenilworth. The music begins with an instrumental prelude professing to paint the tranquillity of a fine summer night. The sound of cannon announces the approach of the Queen, whose arrival is hailed by a chorus of joy and welcome. Then the "Lady of the Lake" appears, and sings a song intimating that she has slept beneath the mater ever siuce the days of King Arthur, but now wakes to enjoy the golden days of Elizabeth. The song is followed by another chorus, pro claiming the perfections of the maiden queen under her romantic name of Oriana. She is declared to be— Like summer's bounteous noon, Most radiant to behold ; Am chaste as yonder moon, But not ona-balf so cold. Then there is "a slow dance with a burden ;" and Arlon sings a song blazing with patriotic loyalty. The Queen is then supposed to partake of a dramatic entertainment worthy of her clas sical taste ; this entertainment, consisting of the pretty dialogue between Lorenzo and Jessica in the last actuf the iferchant of Venire, beginning " How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank. - This charming bit of love-talk is treated as recitative and duet, sung by Mr. Cum mings ant Madame Sherrington. Next there is a "brisk dance" for the Queen's further entertain ment ; and the finale is a chorus, invoking a bless ing ou her Majesty's slumbers. The words are quaint and pleasant, but the fault of this masque is its meagreness. It cannot be said to hare a subject. There is no incident, no dramatic interest, no expression of passion or feeling ; nothing, in abort, to rouse the genius of a musi cian ; and Mr. Sullivan's music has suffered accordingly. The author of the words, in his it reel propos, defends himself against au anticipated charge of anachronism in introducing a scene from the Merchant of Venice, similar miachrouisms, as he says, haring been committed by Walter Scott. There was uo call for this justification, as uo fault bad been committed ' • but the introduction of Shakespeare's beautiful dialogue is liable to a dif ferent objection. The poet's delicious language is incapable of musical treatment, and could only have been spoiled even had the composer been superior to Mr. Sullivan. As to the music of the piece, it is at least clever and pretty, if not original. The song, " I am a ruler on the Sea," sung by Mr. Bentley, as Arlon, is pleasing, and promises to be popular ; and the dance-music which precedes the final chorus is light and graceful, bringing to mind s sdieno of 3leudelasohn. On the whole, if this work do not raise the reputation of Mr. Sullivan as a compose .r, neither will it detract from it _ _ The remainder of the concert, though of a less classical character than that of the previous evening, contained several excellent pieces. Madame Arabella Goddard played Weber's Concert-Stuck (ea she always does) superbly ; but an awkward hitch occurred. The orchestra "got out" in the middle of a difficult passage, and remained for several bars at cruse purposes with the piano. The "Spinning wheel quartet " from Martha was nicely sung by 31111 e. Titian's, Miss Palmer, Mr. Cuminiugs, and Mr. Santley. Mdlle. Titiens sang the air, " Com' 4 belle," from tnereria Borgia,with immense f ffect ; mid Mdlle. Patti warbled her favourite waltz, " Di gioja insolita" with "tremendous " applause. The over ture to Guillaume Tell was played with vast Mat ; and the only other instrumental piece, a Greek march by Luders, proved successful. The last morning performance took place to-day. It consisted of Beethoven's Mount of Wires, Mozart's Twelfth Mass, Guglielun's Offertoriti ra, and a selection from Handel's Solomon. All these pieces are well known, and call for little remark. In The Mount of °tires the solo performers were Mdlle. Titiens, Mr. Sims Reeves, and Mr. Bentley, who did full justice to the beauties of this divine work. The wonderfully passionate air, " Still 1 see my Lord and Master," was sung by Sims Reeves as it used to be sung by Brabam when this work first became known in tins country ; Titiens' air, " Praise your Redeemer's goodness." was equally remark. able for power and expression ; and Sautley gave great dramatic effect to the impetuous character of Peter. The grand choral fugue, " Worlds of glory,' was sublime beyond description. Mozart's Twelfth Mass has gained vast popularity in this country, while others of the series, much superior, remain almost unknown. This mass is calculated to please the public ear ; but iu Ger many it is generally deemed unworthy of its illus trious author. Gugliehin's lig etori uot is merely an air, iu the old Italian style, full of florid pas sages. and accompanied by • number of similar passages on the clarinet. It is destitute of re ligions grandeur, and its only merit ti s in its affording the performers room fur an ad captandain display of execution. The selection from So/omon included three airs, all sung by Madame Salmon- Dolby, and several of the finest choruses, including the finest of them all, " From the Ceredir," a piece of vocal harmony which Handel himself has never surpassed. The hall to all appearance was nearly as much crowded as on the previous days. The following were present this morning : The Earl of Lichfield (president), Countess of Lichfield and party, the Mayor of Birmingham, Mrs. Holliday and party, Colonel the Hon. Grant ham Scott and party, Sir R. Hamilton, Bart., and party, Mr. and Mrs. Taylor and party, Colonel and Mrs. Boultbee and party, the Rev . F.

We understand that this is to be done for the sake of the inhabitants of the town wl are prevented by their business avocations from atlboding the morning performances. This is a very proper arrangement, and it is expected that the Hall will be full to overflowing. SPORTINe INTELLIGENCE. LEICESTER _lrarDAT.

The Tipperary Free Press reports a carious cane of fraud at Carrick-on-Soar. Oas Mary Dohany, it appears, has for years past lived there in &Macon circumstances by selling love pottoos to romantic and foolish girle, while she occasionally netted respectable sums amongst farmer' wives with whom things were not goiag altogether smoothly. But she surpassed herself when she seconded in enrolling two steady members of the constabulary force on the list of her votaries, and enmeshing, one of them at bleat, in debt to a considerable amount. Sub-constable Joseph Ranee is a married man, of some 6ve and forty years of age, and the • father of a family, Some time ago his eldest daughter be came iii, and, hearing of the °unitive powers of Mrs. Doheny, his wife engaged her services, and the child improved somewhat. Henceforward Mrs. Dobeny became • frequent guest at the tea-table of the constable, and after • time she predicted that ere long he would be in 'Minot circumstances, inasmuch as some of his relatives and con nexions who bad bees dead for years bad COMO to life, and would soon be permitted to show themselves upon the earth. He was also led to believe that Sir James Power, who had died some ten years ego, took • deep interest in his well being, and purpoiel giving him some landed property, and the result was that • correspondence was carried on between them, and the constable received no lee them 25 letters • and • gold nog from the occupant of the grave, the mis sires io question being regularly forwarded by Mrs. Dulmay, and the replies occasionally came through her, and were sometimes found in as old moat on the hill-side. To attest her powers still further, she made an assignation with the constable to meet him in a certain held, and • there she revealed to hint the person of his father-in-law, William Mul li ns, standin g e t a f ew yards' distance, dressed in a blue coat with brass buttons, knee-breeches, poem stockiup, and shoes ; he we not allowed to address the ' vision, which was beheld by his son, • boy about nine veers of age, at the lame time. She also showed his, others of his ag e, &c., who had been dead; among others, his son William, who departed this life some 6ve or six years ago. This the constable deposed to on oath at an investigation before the magistrates on Saturday, and as regarded her power in this respect be was corroborated oo oath by his wife. Mr. ileum, who with Megan. lephson sad Wilson presided, asked him if he bed been drinking at the time, and the man replied that he had not Mated spirituous liquors for the past twenty-two years. There is further testimony. Sub-constable Hoye' is brought forward, and he deposes on oath that the woman has brought up before him several of his friends sad counexione who had bees dead for years. He too is corro borated by his wife. Fur weeks after Mrs. Doheny is sup plied with meal, potatoes, tea, &c., for the sustenaoce of the dead who have corn. to life, sod on more than one coca. Mon some tobacco was sent to old Mullin, who, it appears, was in his lifetime • great smoker. To meet them demands Constable 'tosses got into debt, but the promise of gold and landed property induzed him to resort to extensive credits to furnish supplies. New potatoes were at one time re turned to him, with • reopen from the dead that they should be exchanged for old, and oar one omission some eggs were sent back with word that they had not agreed with the dead son William. Mr. Heard, the sub-inspector, at length got intelligence of what was going on, and be determined to make inquiries is reference thereto • Reeves was removed to Clog reel in coesequenos of the debt; hi had contracted : sod, learning Ibis cause thereof, he pro- ceeded to Mrs. Doheiiy's house. where he found the letter (25) from Sir JUIN. Power, which bad been returned by Reeves when the thing got noised abroad. He also got three bottles, oontaioing tea, cream, and milk, made UP in a clean white handkerchief, and which Mr.. Doheoy acknowledged were to have been forwarded to some of her defunct clients on the same evening. The house was otherwise comfortably furnished, and the dame appeared to live well on the credu lity of the people. She we, of coarse, arrested, sod the present proceedings were instituted. It was a strange thing to witness in • public court • number of intelligent people, apparently in their senses, deposing to such things on oath. Whatever spell she may have wrought, there is no doubt that the policemen pained sod their families still place im plicit faith in her, for, when being removed to the dock, Mama shook her by the hand, and, in reply to one of ',Le magistrates, he mid, "Sir, if you had sees as iamb as I have, you would he of the same opinion." Mr. Heard had the woman's husband—a blind (?) man—arrested on Friday everdor. He travels through the country led along by a "due pule, and, oa being questioned, he acknowledged that his worst day's receipts for some time past were 2s. 9 while occasionally they realised 6s. or 7s. a day. Some time ago the female prisoner gave a woman as awful beating, and yet embody could be got to prosecute her, fearing that she might bewitch themselves or their children. So steads the case at present. Mrs. Dobeey was remanded. She is apparently about 40 years of age, with a good-looking face, ada mouth particularly expressive of conning and iotelli. geom.

SEPTEMBER 10, MIDDLESEX SESSION& (Before Mr. Nyne.) -,- - - Michael Murray, 18, a regimental tailor, wu placed at the bar upon an indictment charging him with maliciously wounding genre Jenkins with intent to commit some grievous bodily ham. There was also a eount in the indict. went for a common wank, The prosecutor whose bead was covered with bruises, and who seemed wbe very weak, was called. He said, — I live at No. 7, Deere-street, Westminster, and am • hurter. On the evening of the 18th August I was going up-stairs to my room. I had just come home when 1 sow the prisoner, who lodged at the top of th e h o u s e. The prisoner stopped me, end said, " How dare you open that door ?" and struck me two violent blows on the head wish this poker. (The poker wee produced, a formidable weapon, an inch sod • half in thickness, and about 20 inches long.) I • had only put out my hands to push the prisoner 'sae to go upstairs before he struck me. The prisoner has quarrelled with me before, and was always the offending party. He was not sober, and seldom was. I was taken to the hospital, and was laid up for a long time. In crces-examioation the witnees said —1 had not the poker (produced) in my hand. I was not lying in wait for the prisoner, nor did I roll him • tailor. JameeJoyce, poliorconstable Hi B, whose breut was covered with medals, said ha will called into the house and saw the prosecutor with his faoe covered with blood. He went upstairs and took the prisoner, who was biding, into custody. He took the prosecutor, who was in • fainting cooditioo ' to Westminster HospitaL limns Jenkins, the prosecutor's wife, was then called, and she corroborated the prosecutor's evidence. She said to her husband, " Look out, George, he has got • poker ;" and the prisooer immediately struck her husband. She was so frightened that she went into • room and locked herself in. Charlie Si. Aubyn Hawker said—l am house surgeon at Westminster Hospital. I attended the prosecutor when he was brought in, who had received • dangerous wound on the forehead from some blunt instrument. It might have proved fatal, as he had a slight attack of erysipelas. The prisoner, when called upon for his defence, said — I never had a poker in my hand at all, and never struck the prosecutor. Mr. Payee said he did not think it worth while to sum up the evidence. The jury said they did not require it, as they had already made up their minds, and found the prisoner Guilty. Mr. Payne asked if anything was known of the prisoner. A constable said he bad had six months for beating a woman he lived with. and was quite a brute to every one when he had bad a little drink. The prilooer bad severely ill-treated the woman he was now living with, sod upon one occasion two policemen were called io, sod although the woman had been screaming "Murder," and had been vin. lently kicked by prisoner, when the policemen came she would sever give him in charge. She stuck to hurt like a spaniel dog • Mr. Pijne said be thought the woman would be better without such a worthless fellow. It was unaccountable how these persons clung to their paramours. A juryman said it was always so. Mr. Pays*, is paring iseateoce, said this was an unpro voked assault. The prisoner had, without any provocatioo, assaulted the prosecutor, and be might have had to answer a more serious eherge—that of murder. The sentence of the court upon him war that he be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for 12 calendar months. _ _ Peter Welsh. who .0 convicted on Thund►y with another man named M'Cormack for assaulting Albert Hammett, a constsble, in the execution of bin duty, was brought up for judgment. Yr. Payne ordered him to enter into his recognizance', and tied bad to come up for judgment when called upon. THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOUSE. Oustare Stowell, a German, appaared before Mr. Alder man Waterlow, who wits sitting for the Lord Mayor, upon • summons, charging him with having wickedly, wilfully, and corruptly committed wilful and corrupt perjury in • certain affidavit to hold to bail the complainant, made before Mr. Heath, one of the commiaaioners to administer oaths at common law. Mr. Beasley, barrister, appeared for the complainant ; and Mr. Wontner appeared for the defendant. The complainer'', Mr. Ferdinand Fraekenhiem, it ap peared, bad for some years previous to August in the present year, carried on the business of • diamond merchant. On the 29th of that month he stopped payment, and was en gaged during that day in obtaining the signatures of his creditors for a composition deed. The charge of perjury against the defendant was coutained in an affidavit which had been sworn to and signed before Mr. Commissioner Heath, in which he stated that be bed had • conversation with Mr. Frankenbeim, and thatgentle man had expressed his intention of quitting the country for Paris, and he firmly believed he would leave the country if not prevented. Upon this affidavit • writ was issued at the suit of Watson, Cowell, and another, against Mr. Fran kenheim, and he immediately proceeded to make himself • bankrupt and got • protection. There was also it appeared another affidavit, which was signed by a person named Bradlsugh, au articled clerk in the service of Mr. laminae in which the deponent declared that he had reason to be! lieve that the complainant bad transmitted • large quantity of property abroad, and also bad raised • large sum of money by moans of false bills and cheques, which money he had also sent abroad ; and lastly that he firmly believed that the defendant was about to quit the country. To substantiate the charge of perjury, Mr. Frankenheim stated on oath that until he met the prisoner at the court, he never saw him in his life to his knowledge, and certainly did not tell him on the 29th, the day mentioned in the affidavit, that be intended to go Paris, and that be never contemplated leaving the country. On the 30th of August, it appeared, • gentleman named Rebmann, saw the prisoner, and asked him how he had dared to make an affidavit that Mr. Frankeoheim bad told him he was going to leave the °pantry, telling the pri soner he bad never seen the gentleman, and he had com mitted deliberate perjury. The prisoner said be had not committed perjury. He said • man named l)uffey bad told him he could show him bow to earn 101, and took him somewhere near the Stock Exchange, and pointing oat a gentleman in a black coat sod white waistcoat, told him it was Mr. Frankenheim. He then took him to the office of Mr. Lavinia°, and they went into Mr. Bradlaugh's private room. He was asked by Mr. Bradlaugh if be had seen the complainant, and he said he had ; and be was then asked whether he would make 'an affidavit that he was going to leave the country ; to which the defendant replied that he had never spoken to the man. Mr. Bradlaugh told him that it was • mere matter of form, and would injure no one. The defendant told Mr. Rebmann that he hail not sworn to anything • on which that gentleman ailed if he did not have • gook put into his band ; and, on his replying is the affirmative, told him that was the oath. The prisoner told him be had beep promised 10/., and bad received W., and that the money was paid by Mr. Bradlaugh. Mr. Woutner put some questions to Mr. Frankenheim, who swore that the declarations set forth in the affidavit signed by Bradlaugh ware also entirely false. It was proved beyond doubt that the defendant had signed the affidavit alluded to. ' Mr. Wonther made some remarks on behalf of the defen ' dent, and referred to what he thought the unusual proceed ing of the Commissioner having in this instance attended at the office of the solicitors to sip the affidavit. He said he thought it would be as apparent to the alderman as it was 'to hint that the wrong party had been brought before the court, and that instead of the defendant, those who bad induced him to sign the affidavit ought to be proceeded spinet to answer the charge of inveigling the defendant into what was most decidedly as incautious act on his part. The defendant had cot been long in England, and was not aware of the customs of the courts. is Germany oaths were administered before the government officials,and the off-hand and hurried manner in which no doubt this affidavit had been made,and there was no doubt it bad been made Ma hurry from the fact of Mr. Heath being at the office to sign it, had deprived the proceeding of that solemnity with which it would be attended in has own country. The question was whether the prisoner had committed wilful and corrupt perjury. If the document were not read over to him—and it appeared from the evidence that it was not, and be was not aware of the contents, and in the bustle of the moment was induced to sign it, having been told it was merely a matter of form—he thought he should have the sanction of the court. He was not guilty of wilful perjury ; but that the parties who had allowed him to sign were really the parties who ought to be proceeded against. Mr. Alderman Waterlow said he had well weighed the facto of the case, and the further the evidence went the more important the case appeared. The defendant, in de. fence, urged that be bail not committed the crime imputed to him ; that he was • foreigner, and did not understand the issportacceof thedocumeut besigned, and that he not havieg had it read to bins was antiwar., of theeontents,and it seemed to him that the defendant, as • mall of sense, could not have thought he would receive • sum even of 31.—be was pro mised 10/.—for merely swearing to • document, unless there was some ulterior motive to be gained by it. Still, at the same time, be felt there were other parties who bad stissu lated the defendant to the act who were, no doubt, more guilty than he ; but it would be his duty to retain the de fendant is custody, because if further proceedings were taken his presence might be required. He should remand the case, and perhaps those parties against whom imputations bad been cast might wish to come forward and offer some sapiens,. Coe. By that affidavit one of the judges of the land had been iedneed to issue an important documant, which authorised the arrest of Fraokeebeim, and he was quite sum the judge. would feel with him that care ought to be token to provost them being misled in that way. Mr. Weston asked that his client might be admitted to ball, but Mr. Alderman Waterlow declined to accede to his request. WESTMINSTER. llch li rani Asrpe, a respectable-looking young man, wee Vat the bar, ges. charged with stealing a gold watch, value , c a cod appenda Mrs. Elba Baneock, of 5. Rose-terrace, Fulluen•road, said that she accused the prisoner of stealing her watch and ap pendages because no one else could hare taken them. He was employed to clean the windows, and so had access to the property which bad been left is a drawer. Mr. Self.— How did the prisoner know that you had • watch in that drawer! Mn. Bannock —He was there cleaning the er Wows la Ws drum ►oor, ead having said that Iwo thought it 186 C was growing late and he mast come in the evening to Amish his work, I took the watch out of the drawer, and looking at it told him the time, and thee replaced it n bu pregame. Mr. Selfe—When did you miss it ! Mrs. Bannock—l wait to the drawer again at five o'clock, and then I mimed my watch and appendages. A loose key belonging to the watch was lying on the mat where I had left it. At half-past six the prisoner CMS to finish the windows. I allowed him to go up stairs, sad then I sent for a constable and gave him into custody for stealing it. I said to the prisoner, "You have stolen my watch." He replied, "You took the watch out to show me, after which you put it round your neck." That was not true. I assure you, for I replaced it in the drawer after I had told the prisoner the time. Prisoner—You will excuse me, madam, bat you did not put it in the drawer. I saw you fling the chain round your neck, sod you left the house to speak to a lady. Mr. Selle—llid you know anything of the prisoner before ? Mrs. Bannock—\o; bat he was recommended by a respectable person. Prisoner-1 am a respectable man, and it can be proved I have worked for three ye►rs for Mr. Larken, in the Ful ham-road. I began the drawing-room windows, ►od was then called up to do this lady 'e bedroom windows, and there she looked at the watch and told me the time, after which she put it round her neck, as I have stated. I declare to God that I sever toothed the watch, sod know notkini about it. I was locked up in my life before and I can receive the best of characters. Mr. Selfe—At what time do you consider the accused must have taken the watch ? Mrs. Bannock—Directly after I replaced it in the drawer. I left the room to speak to a lady, leaving the prisoner in the room at the time. Mr. Selfe—Who else had acmes to the room between that and the time you missed your watch! Mrs. Bannock—Nobody ; I locked the door directly after the prisooer left, at about 2 o'elock, and kept the key in my pocket until I mimed the watch. Sells—Was the drawer in which you kept it locked! Mrs. Bannock—No, it wee not ; the room door being locked was downed sufacieut. Mr. Sells— Who else was there is the house! charwoman, who rarer went into that room, and the owner of the home, who occupy the wood Boor. Prisooer (to prossantriz)—You may depend upon it you are mistaken, madam. You put the watch round your neck. Mr. Sella—Are you sore you did not do so! Mrs. Bannock—Quite sure. Mr. Sells-1 suppose you sometimes wear it. When is that' Bannocb—On Sundays, at if I went to a concert or anything cg that sort. The lady's mere—l am certain that my aunt did not wear her watch. A young woman eogaged as a workwoman at the house at the time said she had her dross body off, and could not have worn it. Mr. Self. said it was an extraordinary affair, and the police must make a strict examination of the premises. ile must detain the accused, bat would take bail in 301. for his appearance on a future day. SOUTHWARK. Witham Poidepti, late secretary of the St. Saviour's Lodge of Odd Fellows, held at the George Tavern, Gravel lane, Southwark, was brought up for Snal examination. Mr. Dillon, from the office of Mr. Chippenfield, appeared as before for the prosecution. It will be remembered that some days ago the bite trea surer of the lodge, Mr. James Hayes, was committed to the county gaol for one month in default of paying forthwith the sum of 3.51. 135., the amount of moseys received by him as treasurer, rod which he bad misapplied to his own use. The present defendant stands charged with having received divers small sums from members for which he bad not accounted and paid over to the then treasurer, Hayes, as it was hni duty to nave done. The charge against the defendant could not be perfected without the evidence of Hayes, and the defendant was remanded for his attendance. The ex-treasurer Hayes was now brought up under a judge's order from Hoesernocger-lane Gaol in the custody of Mr. Maynard, the chief warder of the prison, and, on being sworn, proved that the dote:Ault bad never paid over to him three several sums of 65., of .14., and of le, which he had received as contributions from three members, named respectively Kendall, Waghorn, and Hicks. These persons were summed, sod proved the payroeot by them to the defeodeet of the several sums meotiooed. Mr. Dillon said he could multiply the Oases against the defendant, but these three would be aufficient for an in dictment. Tits depositions having been completed, the defendant wu committed for trial at the next Surrey sessiona, and the ez.treasurer Hayes was reconveyed by Mr. Maynard to the county saoL THAME,S. Jamu Wilhaw, a lad, wee charged before Mr. Partridge with having stolen from the shop of Mr. Aubrey, chemist, High-street, Poplar. a till contaieing 61. Mrs. Aubrey stated that about 3 o'clock the previous afternoois she left the shop for a few minutes, and oo bar return to the shop she saw the priaouer leaving it. After the prisoner was goal she found that the till had keen stoles. Mr. Partridge—Wm there any money in it Witness—Yes, sir, there was above 61. in it. Jobs Brewer, s youth, said that be found the till is a garden in North-street. He knew that it belonged to Mr. Aubrey, se he saw a boy come out of the shop with the till. At the same time there were three other bore on the oppo site side of the street. When the prisoner came out of the shop he joined the other two, sod they all went away together. The prisoner was sent for EL: months to the House of Cor• ratios. _Tares sailors, named McFarlane. Rice, and Duncan, were charged with violently aseaulting Police-constable H, 15e, It appeared that the prisoner McFarlane went up to the constable and made ► complaint "gaunt a tradesman. The officer, easing that be was drink, told him to call upon the tradesman on the following day wino be was sober. The prisoner booms very violent, and give him a violent blow. He was assisted by the other prisoners. The dietarbeece became so desperate that a police force had to be sent for, and the pnsonen were token to the station bones. Each of the prisoners was fined 31., or in default two months' imprisonment. ALARM OF FIRE AT THE ADELPRI THEATER.— Betweeo eight and nine Mat night groat ooesteroatioe was ocossioued in the Strand by • report that the Adelphi Theatre was on fire. On inquiry at the stage-door it was ascertained that towards the conclusion of the perform. once of A /roman of Busi mess, the cry of "Fire" was raised, and • majority of the audience leaving their seats beat a hasty retreat. la the meantime an iotimatiou of the occurrence reached the several fire-establialimente in the metropolis, and in • brief space • number of engines arrived. It appeared, however, that on the alarm being given, the fireman belonging to the theatre went the satire round of the building to discover the cane of the disturbance. The theatre itself was found to be quite safe, but soave smoke from an adjoining house in Heath cock-court bad entered the back part of the pit. The whole of the company, including the mechanical portion of the establishment, appeared before the curtain to give confidence to those who retained their seats, and in lees that half an hour the entertainments were pro- needed with. ALARMING FIB. LIVEEPOOL—DERTIVCTION Or • FIJIALI PINITIIMART.—LIVELPOOL, FAIDAY.—A fire of • most alarming nature occurred this morning which has unfortunately resulted in the entire destructioa of the reformatory institutMa for females, called " The Home," situated in Mason-street, Edge-bill. It appears that shout half-past 4 a.m. one of the inmates perceive! • strong smell of fire, and haviog at owe given the alarm, • massager was despatched to the fire engine slat ions in Olive-street, Presoothstreet, sad Hatton-gardeo. Half an hour nearly elapsed after the di ff erent engines had reached the scene of fire before thy hose could be brought to play on the building, owing to • scarcity of water in the mains, and by the time the flames were sub- dued the building was completely gutted. The loss a esti. mated at about 2,0004, and this is covered by insuraooes in the Royal and Guardian Offices. Although there were *boat 40 inmates of the Home in bed at the tiros the fire broke out, ammo( them were injured.

The transactions have been limited, and almo;t entirely confined te the supply of the immediate wants the trade and exporters, sod though during the last tan days more disposition on the part of buyers was evident to take advantage of the reduction in prices, the week closed irregularly with a decline of about 1,!. to 2d. per lb.

COTTON GOODEL—Mascrtrarnt, Seri. 9.—Thia market his been almost unprecerdeetedly fiat this moroing. Oo Wednesday the yarn market began to show signs of im. provement, and on Thursday, before it was known that the Bank bad raised the rate of discount, some fair offers were made for various descriptions of shippingyarns, but the ma meat the action taken by the Bank became known be offers were withdrawn. The trade hers appears to have been taken entirely by surprise, and the market became latterly stag. neat, and has increased in depression since. To-day it may almost be said we have bad no market for export yarns. All our merchants refrain from making often, preferring to await further news from America before entering into new contracts. In home trade yarns we have also had a very depressed market. Prices are, so far either* is a change, weaker even than on Tuesday. BilliOMS is almost at a stand dill, and spinners speak openly of preparing to close their mills in some cum and in others of returning to short time, with a view to reducing pr...ductioo nearer to • level with the demand. The cloth people were as much taken by surprise by the advance io discounts es any other clams in this market. Thinp were exceedingly flat before, and the recent advance has apparently put the possibility of selling more out of question than on Tuesday. The cloth market is deseribed as very inactive. Very few offers are made, and these at the lowest figures. In some few quarters is this, u in the yarn market, then were signs of returning confidence before the Bank news arrived, bet it his now entirely disappeared. Them is now every prospect of the production of cloth as well u yarn being lessened. Manufacturers find it impossible to continue to make without incurring ruinous loss, and we may look forward to a great limitation of production. The stocks are not very considerable ; there is no great ensure by sellers ; and there is no approach to anything like a panic feeling, but in the case of offers making there is no doubt now that comparatively very low prices would be taken.
